Chapter 328: Kong Xuan

「You mean, you've detected Yuan Feng's aura? 」

Ao Yifan looked at Jiutian Xuannü with some surprise.

Since then, Jiutian Xuannü has served as a military advisor, helping Chen Tang Pass train the army's troop deployments.

It can be said that nearly half of Chen Tang Pass's troops are her handiwork.

Earlier, Ao Yifan learned from Hou Tu Niangniang about the aftermath of the Dragon-Han Calamity for the three clans.

However, even Hou Tu Niangniang does not know the final whereabouts of the three clans' primordial ancestors—Yuan Feng, Zu Long, and the first Qilin.

Thus, Ao Yifan started having people monitor their whereabouts.

Among these, the task of finding Yuan Feng's whereabouts fell to Jiutian Xuannü.

After all, she is among the few living people who have truly seen the phoenix clan's primordial ancestor, Yuan Feng.

But Ao Yifan never expected that shortly after handing the task to Jiutian Xuannü, she would already have found Yuan Feng's whereabouts.

「Hehe, thanks for your hard work, Xuannü. Let's go and meet that remarkable woman who even leaves you feeling astonished and extraordinarily beautiful! 」

Ao Yifan said, waving his hand, and produced his Three Realms Treasure Chariot.

「Xuannü, point out a direction. 」

Hearing that, Jiutian Xuannü and Ao Yifan boarded the treasure chariot together, and she immediately pointed south.

……

「Damn it, dare to sully this venerable one's eyes! 」

With a cold shout, Ao Yifan and Jiutian Xuannü atop the Three Realms Treasure Chariot also did not expect that the chariot's such great speed would actually collide with someone.

What's more embarrassing is that, finding the journey boring, Ao Yifan decided to reward Jiutian Xuannü—how unfortunate, he ended up being seen by the beautiful person opposite.

Indeed, in Ao Yifan's eyes, the person opposite is an absolute beauty, though he is unsure whether they are male or female.

「Fellow Daoist, may I ask if you are male or female? 」

Gazing at the five-colored figure, Ao Yifan suddenly asked.

This is important; he has seen that the opponent is a demon clan member—if female, he might consider forgiving them a little, but if male, he would have to destroy their primordial spirit.

「I am Kong Xuan, the first peacock between heaven and earth, gender undetermined! 」

「You are Kong Xuan? 」

Ao Yifan widened his eyes; he never expected that, while coming out to search for Yuan Feng's whereabouts, he would actually encounter the crucial Kong Xuan.

It is said that Yuan Feng sensed the yin and yang of heaven and earth, and gave birth to Kong Xuan and the Golden-Winged Great Peng.

Unlike the Golden-Winged Great Peng, whose gender was decided early on, as the first peacock between heaven and earth, Kong Xuan has never settled on a gender.

Ao Yifan also once asked Wen Zhong, who oversees all military affairs of Yin Shang, whether Yin Shang had a commander named Kong Xuan.

But what surprised Ao Yifan was that, perhaps due to his time-travel, among the many commanders of Yin Shang, there was no trace of Kong Xuan.

Yet he never expected that, while he and Jiutian Xuannü were riding the treasure chariot and jolting, he would bump into this legendary Kong Xuan.

「What an impudent gaze—die! 」

Just as Ao Yifan was sizing up Kong Xuan, his gaze made Kong Xuan feel extremely displeased.

Kong Xuan's eyes turned cold; immediately, five-colored divine light appeared behind him and swept toward Ao Yifan and the other.

「Five-colored divine light—dodge quickly! 」

Having tidied her clothes, Jiutian Xuannü immediately drove the Three Realms Treasure Chariot aside to evade.

However, the five-colored divine light moves at extreme speed, almost transcending spatial concepts; in the mere instant it appears, it already lands atop Ao Yifan and the other's heads.

「Not good! 」

Instinctively, Jiutian Xuannü unleashed the Military Dao Holy Scroll.

This spiritual treasure originally fell from Jiutian Xuannü due to an impact; initially, Ao Yifan gave it to Lady Yin, who was obsessed with troop formations.

But lately Lady Yin has been pregnant; to make full use of it, she passed this Military Dao Holy Scroll, which is more suited to Jiutian Xuannü, to her.

This moved Jiutian Xuannü to tears; she finally resolved to accept Lady Yin as an elder sister and set aside her former master, the Golden Mother of the Jade Pool.

After all, using the Military Dao Holy Scroll can in one fell swoop help Jiutian Xuannü cut away her good corpse and advance to the Quasi-Sacred Realm.

Now, as the Military Dao Holy Scroll is unleashed, the surrounding space instantly transforms into an ancient battlefield.

At the same time, the five-colored divine light sweeps across, instantly wiping out more than half of the ancient battlefield.

However, the killing aura of the ancient battlefield also bought Jiutian Xuannü time, enabling the Three Realms Treasure Chariot to break free from the five-colored divine light's enveloping range.

「What a splendid pair of white legs—if their gender were already determined, they would undoubtedly be a rare beauty! 」

Just as Jiutian Xuannü rejoiced at having escaped the five-colored divine light and ascended, Ao Yifan's voice suddenly came from her ear.

「At this point, stop looking at the legs; later I'll let you see plenty. This person is likely Kong Xuan, son of Yuan Feng, whose entire body is five-colored divine light, famed as capable of sweeping away anything—you'd better quickly think of a way to deal with it. 」

「Hehe, are you sure he is Yuan Feng's son and not Yuan Feng's daughter? 」

「How about we make a bet on which gender Kong Xuan will ultimately choose? 」

「You... 」

Hearing that, Jiutian Xuannü was about to say something when the five-colored divine light interrupted her.

「Impudent wretch, I, Kong Xuan, will surely kill you! 」

Ao Yifan's teasing words were naturally heard by Kong Xuan as well.

Since his debut, the issue of his gender has constantly been a pain point entangled with him.

Even now, he has not yet decided which gender to choose,

Therefore, in daily life, what Kong Xuan cares about most is others teasing him about his gender.

This is his reverse scale!

However, this man before him not only earlier defiled his eyes with that vile image, but also repeatedly taunted him about his gender issue.

This time, Kong Xuan truly aroused killing intent.

Killing intent flared, and within the five-colored divine light, countless five-colored feather plumes shot out, like countless five-colored divine swords, flying toward the two of them.

"Heh, you really are a hot-tempered little lass, but I like it!"

Sensing the killing intent in the other's heart, Ao Yifan gave a faint smile.

Within the opponent's five-colored divine light lies the power of spatial five elements, which is also why it is so formidable.

However, this power poses little threat to Ao Yifan.

After all, when time does not manifest, space reigns supreme.

Once time appears, space must also submit.

At the very moment the five-colored divine light approached him, the temporal law's power of Time City spread out, centered on Ao Yifan.

In an instant, that five-colored divine light capable of ignoring all space, before Ao Yifan, seemed to come to a standstill.

"What is this?"

By Ao Yifan's side, under his protection, the Nine Heavens Profound Maiden naturally was not affected by the temporal law's power.

"It's actually the power of temporal law—you actually mastered such power!"

In that instant, the Nine Heavens Profound Maiden's gaze toward Ao Yifan grew even more admiring.

As a war goddess, she has always greatly admired the strong.
