I Created a Sanctuary in Marvel

Chapter 169 Hunting the Phoenix's Power

Wu Fengji's voice transmission seemed to ring directly in his mind, precisely reaching Ye Feng's ears.

"Oh?"

Ye Feng paused slightly as he strolled along the Sacred Corridor.

This news was indeed somewhat unexpected for him.

Jean Grey not only returned to Earth, but according to Wu Fengji's description, she was clearly dominated by that dangerous Dark Phoenix personality.

"Do you want to join the holy war and disrupt the game?"

Ye Feng narrowed his eyes slightly.

The Black Phoenix is ​​indeed a threat that cannot be ignored.

Even if he was already planning to completely crush Olympus in three months, it wouldn't stop him from removing this potentially troublesome thorn now.

"Charles, come to the Central Temple."

Ye Feng's thoughts were transmitted, and his voice resounded directly in Wan's mind.

While he was meditating in Aries Palace, Charles, who was guarding the palace gate, was startled and immediately replied, "Yes, Your Majesty."

A thought inevitably crossed his mind: "Is this summons at this critical juncture because of the holy war? Could it be—that they're deciding on who will participate?"

With a sense of doubt, Charles stepped into the spatial portal that opened beside him and instantly arrived at the core area of ​​the Tarot Sanctuary.

"Your Majesty----"

Before the majestic and solemn gates of the central sanctuary, Charles stopped, bowed slightly, and showed great respect.

This is Pope Ye Feng's palace. Even a Gold Saint cannot cross this sacred threshold without being summoned.

"Come in."

Ye Feng's calm voice came from inside the hall.

The heavy holy door slid silently inward.

Charles stepped inside, passed through the front hall, and saw Ye Feng sitting leisurely on a stone chair in the center of the courtyard, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

"Your Majesty, what brings you to me?"

Charles stepped forward and asked.

"Jean Grey has appeared."

"However, the situation is not good. Her originally kind personality has been completely suppressed by the Black Phoenix. According to the intelligence I have received, she will likely represent Olympus in this holy war."

Ye Feng didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

He paused, then looked calmly at Charles: "What I mean is, eliminate this destabilizing factor in advance. But she is, after all, your child whom you raised. It's only right and wrong to listen to your opinion."

Upon hearing this, Charles's body stiffened almost imperceptibly.

He fell silent, his facial expressions shifting dramatically—confusion, pain, memories—

A mix of emotions eventually settled into a profound calm.

He took a deep breath, as if making a firm decision, and slowly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with unwavering determination: "Your Majesty, the unification of the Holy Land cannot be lost, and we cannot take any risks."

"Qin—she is indeed the child I raised, and I treat her as my own. But precisely because of this, I cannot bear to see her be swallowed by darkness, become a threat to the world, or even stand against the Holy Land."

"If she really goes that far—I'm in favor of eliminating the threat. If necessary, I can—personally intervene."

Such a statement caused a hint of surprise to flash in Ye Feng's eyes.

Since Charles joined the Sanctuary and comprehended the mysteries of the cosmos, his loyalty and trust in him have grown day by day.

While the subtle influence of the seed of the microcosm certainly played a role, the more significant factor was likely a profound shift in Charles's own thinking.

"It seems that separating the 'Crazy Attack' from your mindset back then really did make you much more clear-headed."

A faint smile appeared on Ye Feng's lips.

"However, you misunderstood."

"By eliminating her, I mean the violent Dark Phoenix personality. As for Jean Grey herself, we will try to strip away the extremely unstable Phoenix Force within her."

"This process won't be easy; she'll inevitably suffer, but at least her life will be saved."

Upon hearing this, Charles's tense shoulders visibly relaxed, a barely perceptible hint of relief flashing across his face. He quickly replied, "Yes! Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"I plan to entrust this matter to you and Wu Fengji of the Phoenix constellation to handle together."

"Your mission is singular: bring Jean Grey back to me safe and sound."

Ye Feng continued.

Once he calmed down a bit, Charles realized the other name Ye Feng had mentioned.

Phoenix constellation, Wu Fengji.

A powerful individual who needs to have the Phoenix Power extracted from Qin's body—his strength is probably far beyond his imagination.

The summit of Kunlun.

Ye Feng's figure materialized and appeared like a phantom.

The wind and snow continued, but Wu Fengji, who was sitting cross-legged on the mountaintop, had already opened her eyes.

"Your suggestion is timely. I will keep Kunlun in my care for the time being. You may go."

Ye Feng said to Wu Fengji.

At this moment, after fully comprehending the microcosm, Wu Fengji's aura became increasingly profound and restrained, and her strength had clearly improved to another level.

"good!"

"I'll leave this to you. If I can successfully absorb the Phoenix Force within Jean Grey, then we'll have a much better chance of launching a full-scale war against Olympus."

Wu Fengji stood up nimbly, her blood and qi surging slightly, dispelling the lingering chill.

"Beware of the Olympian gods."

"The Phoenix Force is coveted by countless powerful beings across the multiverse. Your journey there may not be smooth sailing."

"Now I'm stationed in Kunlun, and Athena must protect the core of the Sanctuary. If we encounter any problems that we can't solve, we should go to the Ancient One."

""

Ye Feng reminded him, his eyes showing a slightly serious expression.

There was a hint of mockery in his tone: "Isn't he about to retire? Let him contribute a little more while he's still in office and do his best in his final days."

Upon hearing this, Wu Fengji couldn't help but smile. Ye Feng's words were quite interesting.

"Furthermore, this is the second-generation Phoenix Cloth that was just created by the Sanctuary Cloth Laboratory."

Ye Feng raised his hand, and a point of light containing spatial fluctuations flew towards Wu Fengji.

"It may not improve your current abilities by much, but it's better than nothing."

"After we finish dealing with the lyre, we still need to go to the Phoenix White House. There is enough mysterious metal there, which is the key to forging the Zodiac Cloths."

The main reason for not going now is that the time flow in the Phoenix White House is vastly different from that in the real world.

The last time they entered, it took the outside world a week. Nobody knows how long it will take this time.

"clear."

Wu Fengji received the light, and the Saint Cloth naturally merged into her body.

She said no more, nodded slightly to Ye Feng, and her figure transformed into a golden-red streak of light, breaking through the wind and snow of Kunlun and disappearing into the horizon.

Ye Feng took her place and sat cross-legged atop Kunlun Mountain, his aura subtly connected to the entire mountain range.

The wind and snow continued, but the mountaintop fell into a deeper silence.

Outside the Tarot Sanctuary.

Let's go!

A cold voice rang out from behind him, startling Charles, who was deep in thought.

He turned around abruptly, only to find Wu Fengji standing silently behind him without his noticing, and his powerful telepathic abilities hadn't detected her at all!

This means that the opponent's strength is far superior to his, and may even have reached another level.

Do you know where Qin is now?

Charles suppressed his shock and, seeing Wu Fengji walking straight out of the Holy Domain, hurriedly followed.

He had just tried to scan the globe with his psychic abilities, but to no avail; Jean Grey seemed to be obscured by some force.

"Know."

"However, it may not be so easy for this battle to end peacefully."

"Listen, Charles, if your presence cannot awaken Jean Grey's true consciousness, and cannot shake the Dark Phoenix's control over the power, then once the war begins, you must immediately leave the core battlefield."

Wu Fengji kept walking.

She understood perfectly well Ye Feng's intention in having Charles accompany him.

As a spiritual mentor and father figure to Jean, Charles may be the only key to awakening her true nature.

However, if this key fails, the scope and destructive power of the battle between the two Phoenix Force bearers will be far beyond what Charles's level of combat strength can withstand.

Even gods would have to think twice before facing the Phoenix Force's ability to annihilate matter.

"I see!"

Charles immediately agreed.

He realized once again that the Phoenix Saint before him possessed unfathomable strength, and he was completely unable to sense his aura or soul fluctuations.

"Could it be a powerhouse on par with Your Majesty?"

"The foundation of the Holy Land is indeed deeper than I imagined."

"No wonder even the gods of Olympus had to compromise and decide the fate of the land through a holy war."

Charles thought to himself.

The two stepped out of the Tarot Sanctuary's barrier.

A gentle yet powerful golden-red energy emanated from Wu Fengji's body, enveloping Charles as well.

The next moment, the two soared into the sky, transforming into a streak of light that tore through the heavens, and sped away into the distance at an astonishing speed, disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

On the other side, above a desolate mountain range.

The black phoenix, which was flying inland, suddenly stopped and hovered in the air.

A strong sense of palpitation struck her without warning, and at the same time, the Phoenix Power within her began to stir restlessly, issuing a sharp warning.

"Damn it! They came so fast!"

Her face darkened as she gazed at the horizon, where a familiar presence, both repulsive and vaguely frightening to her, was rapidly approaching, making no attempt to conceal its target: herself.

Wu Fengji had no intention of hiding her whereabouts, or rather, she thought it was unnecessary.

The energy fluctuations in the duel between the two Phoenix Force hosts were like a lighthouse in the night, impossible to conceal.

"Whoosh!"

The intense wind pressure descended from the sky as if it were a physical force, slamming heavily onto the ground, stirring up clouds of dust, and causing the black phoenix's long hair and robes to dance wildly.

As the golden-red light faded, Wu Fengji and Charles's figures came into view.

"They acted quite quickly."

Black Phoenix stared intently at Wu Fengji with her dark eyes, her voice filled with suppressed anger.

"You cannot control this power; keeping it within you will only bring disaster. I have come to take it back."

, 7

Wu Fengji's tone remained calm, as if she were stating a given fact.

"The zither—"

Charles, standing to the side, looked at that familiar face with a complex expression, his voice filled with sorrow and a glimmer of hope.

"Charles!"

"You actually came too! Did you come to see how you dealt with me?!"

Black Phoenix's gaze shifted to Charles, and her pent-up anger seemed to find an outlet, instantly igniting.

Dark red, destructive energy, like boiling flames, suddenly erupted from her body, causing the surrounding space to distort slightly.

A great war is about to break out!
