The Hehuan Sect cultivates alchemy; my senior sister helps me refine alchemy throughout the world.

"You... what did you say?" Feng Jiuzhou's voice changed. "You said you poisoned Qingyin's mother?"

Feng Ming showed no remorse. "Big brother, do you feel sorry for me? I started hating you after you married her. Why could you marry your true love? Why was I forced to marry that perverted Feng Xiaotian? I hate you, but I hate her even more!"

Feng Jiuzhou's eyes were red and swollen. "Feng Ming... she's your sister-in-law! She's never mistreated you! Why did you do this?"

"Why?" Feng Ming laughed maniacally, "Because I want you to taste what it's like to lose your beloved!"

"Ah..." Feng Jiuzhou let out a heart-wrenching roar!

His golden phoenix suddenly swelled, its golden light dazzling, as if it would set the entire secret realm ablaze.

"Fengming! I'm going to kill you!"

Feng Jiuzhou transformed into a golden streak of light, and together with the golden phoenix, rushed directly towards Fengming.

Not to be outdone, Fengming also transformed into a streak of black light and merged with his natal phoenix. The black phoenix flapped its wings and charged forward.

Two phoenixes, one gold and one black, collided again in the sky above the Wutong Secret Realm.

The light from the explosion was more dazzling than the sun. Heat waves rolled in, and the air surged skyward.

Shen Yifei was closest to the two, yet he was thrown dozens of feet away by the blast wave.

When he got up, his ears were ringing and his vision was blurry.

"Holy crap... this is a suicide mission." Shen Yifei rubbed his eyes and looked up at the sky.

In mid-air, golden and black flames intertwined, forming a giant fireball.

Within the fireball, the figures of Feng Jiuzhou and Feng Ming were faintly visible, both desperately urging their last bit of spiritual power.

"Brother, let's go together." Fengming's smile was melancholic. "It's been thousands of years, I'm tired."

Feng Jiuzhou looked at her, his eyes filled with both reluctance and anger. "Feng Ming, I'm sorry. But you shouldn't have done anything, you shouldn't have harmed Qingyin's mother!"

"What's the point of saying all this?" Feng Ming gave a bitter laugh!

The two exerted force at the same time, and all that could be seen was two fireballs colliding in the sky, finally turning into fireworks with a bang!

The golden light spots of Feng Jiuzhou intertwined with the black light spots of Fengming, and finally dissipated together into the world.

"Father!" Feng Qingyin flew over from a distance, but missed, only managing to grab a handful of golden light.

The specks of light lingered in her palm for a moment before scattering in the wind.

"Father..." Feng Qingyin knelt on the ground, tears streaming down her face.

Shen Yifei rushed to her side and felt bad seeing her like this.

Feng Qingyin cried twice, then suddenly stood up, wiped away her tears, and looked at the group of Crow Clan soldiers who were retreating.

"Four Guardians! Hear my command!" Feng Qingyin's voice was icy cold. "Kill them all! Leave no one alive!"

Although the four guardians were also injured, seeing the princess in this state, they dared not delay and immediately led the remaining Phoenix Clan members who were still able to fight to catch up.

Seeing that he had lost Feng Ming as his powerful backer and that the situation was hopeless, Su Moyou didn't care about anything else and told his men to run away quickly.

But Feng Qingyin wasn't about to let him get away.

She transformed into a streak of fiery red light, directly catching up with Su Moyou, drawing her longsword, and a red streak of light pierced through Su Moyou's back!

Before Su Moyou could even scream, he turned into a cloud of black smoke and disappeared into the air.

Upon seeing their chieftain dead, the Raven Clan soldiers' morale collapsed, and the Phoenix Clan soldiers charged in, cutting them down like vegetables. In an instant, more than half of the Raven Clan soldiers were wiped out!

Soon, the crow army was either dead or fled, leaving only the wails of the wounded at the entrance to the Wutong Secret Realm.

Feng Qingyin stood amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood, her long sword still dripping with the blood of the Crow Clan.

Her eyes were icy cold, a stark contrast to the girl who had been so sweet and affectionate beside Shen Yifei just moments before.

Shen Yifei felt a chill run down his spine looking at her like this. This woman had gone mad, even more so than when he was killing demons.

"Your Highness..." he called out tentatively.

Feng Qingyin ignored him and turned to walk towards the place where Feng Jiuzhou and Feng Ming, who were lying on the ground, had disappeared.

All that remained was a scorched earth; the golden and black specks of light had completely vanished.

She crouched down, reached out and grabbed a handful of scorched earth. "Father... your daughter is unfilial; I failed to protect you."

Shen Yifei walked to her side, squatted down, and put his arm around her shoulder. "Princess, please accept my condolences."

Feng Qingyin didn't struggle or cry. She just squatted there quietly, watching the scorched earth in her palm slowly flow through her fingers.

After a long while, she stood up, turned around, and looked at the Phoenix Clan members who were cleaning up the battlefield.

"Four Guardians, heed my command!"

"Here!" Feng Lin, Feng Huo, Feng Shan, and Feng Hai knelt down in unison.

"From this day forward, hunt down the remaining members of the Raven Clan, to the ends of the earth, leaving not a single one alive!"

"Yes, sir!"

The four guardians accepted the order and led the Phoenix Clan's elite forces out of the secret realm entrance.

Feng Qingyin then turned to the elders, "Twelve Elders, listen to my command."

"Present!" All the elders knelt down in unison, including the Fourth Elder Feng Songjiang. Everyone lowered their heads and dared not breathe.

"Assess the casualties among our people and provide relief to the families of the fallen. Open the secret treasure vault, retrieve all healing pills, and prioritize the treatment of the wounded."

"Yes, ma'am!" The elders all accepted the order and left in unison.

Shen Yifei stood beside Feng Qingyin, watching her issue orders methodically, and secretly admired her. Faced with this mess, this woman could immediately clean up the whole mess.

Her ability to control the situation was exceptional, even among her group of women.

After arranging everything, Feng Qingyin looked at Shen Yifei.

The murderous intent in those phoenix eyes hadn't completely faded, but it was much gentler than before.

"Sect Leader Shen, please excuse my poor appearance."

"Not at all, Your Highness is wise and brave, decisive in your actions. I admire you wholeheartedly. It's just that the old clan chief has only just been resurrected, and now..."

When Feng Qingyin heard him mention her father, her eyes reddened, but she held back her tears.

"Why is Sect Leader Shen saying all this?" She turned around and looked at the devastated Wutong Secret Realm. "Although Father King was just resurrected... at least he dealt with Feng Xiaotian and let me know who killed Mother."

Shen Yifei nodded and didn't say anything more.

Perhaps this is everyone's fate. Feng Jiuzhou crawled out of the grave and went through so much trouble to save him.

Then Feng Xiaotian and Feng Ming both died because of him. If he hadn't come back to life, would those two still be alive and well now? It's truly a cruel twist of fate!

In the following days, Feng Qingyin was busy dealing with clan affairs, and Shen Yifei was too embarrassed to bring up the matter of the phoenix tail feathers at this time, so he stayed at the inn and wandered around the Wutong Secret Realm every day.

Feng Qingyin did visit him a few times, but each time she came and went in a hurry. The Phoenix Clan had just experienced a major change and there were simply too many things to deal with.

Shen Yifei was getting anxious, after all, the main mission of this trip was to get the phoenix tail feathers.
