Phoenix Cry Firmament

“Mister Zi!”

Shu Ning’s heart tightened as she looked at the man standing before her. She became a little absent-minded, instantly having mixed feelings. Even she herself didn’t understand what kind of feeling she was feeling…

“You leave first.”

Silver robes fluttered in the wind. Zi Qian Jing raised his gaze to look at the numerous Spiritual Realm practitioners before him. His gaze carried seriousness within it, no longer as languish as usual.

“Leave?”

Shu Ning chuckled bitterly as she refused, “I won’t be able to leave. Furthermore, I can’t just abandon a severely injured person behind and leave. Mister Zi, your injuries haven’t recovered yet so…”

‘More importantly, this situation had arisen due to me.’

“Hmph! Leave? None of you will be able to leave. Zi Qian Jing, where on earth is your younger brother? You are to immediately tell us his location. Otherwise, the two of you will die without a doubt!”

“Sorry, but I had already said that I don’t know. But even if I know, I won’t tell you.”

Mockery filled Zi Qian Jing’s eyes as he revealed a taunting smirk.

“You are seeking death!”

Killing intents surged forth from the middle-aged man’s body. He said coldly, “Since so, don’t blame us for being uncourteous then! Let’s team up and kill him!”

Boom!

Intense aura burst out from everyone’s body, dashing toward Zi Qian Jing.

Su Ning had an unknown excitement when she looked at the two people being surrounded by Spiritual Realm experts. Viciousness was expressed in her eyes as she stared at Shu Ning like a venomous snake.

Zi Qian Jing’s heart became heavy when he felt the crowd’s aura but he didn’t cower in the slightest…

Everyone zeroed their attacks on Zi Qian Jing at this moment. Zi Qian Jing was slowly in the disadvantage when he faced with so many Spiritual Realm practitioners, no matter how powerful he was…

Shu Ning became anxious as she looked at the fierce battle occurring before her. But she couldn’t do anything in a battlefield between Spiritual Realm experts…

‘I had thought I am talented enough during the years I stayed within the Shu family. But now, I understand how big the world is and there are countless young experts that are stronger than me after leaving the Shu family.’

Thus, this was the first time Shu Ning felt powerless. If she had sufficient might, perhaps she wouldn’t be as oppressed as now. More importantly, she wouldn’t need Zi Qian Jing to step up for her…

Bang!

The middle-aged man’s fist landed on Zi Qian Jing’s chest, pushing Zi Qian Jing back a few steps. Zi Qian Jing looked coldly at the crowd before him.

“Zi Qian Jing, you aren’t our match!”

He raised his head to look at Zi Qian Jing’s face and with a smirk filled with ridicule, he said, “No matter how powerful you are, it is impossible for you to fight against a group of Spiritual Realm practitioners…”

‘No matter how powerful a person is, how can he be a match for so many of us?’

Shu Ning’s expression changed completely. Worries was expressed on her simple but elegant face.

She calmed down as she looked coldly at the crowd before her and said, “I know where is the person that all of you are looking for…”

“What did you say?” The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes as he stared at Shu Ning with a threatening gaze as he warned, “You should know the outcome if you were to lie to us!”

Shu Ning smiled indifferently as she replied, “I will tell you once Zi Qian Jing leaves.”

‘I can only use this way to let Zi Qian Jing successfully leave this place now…’

“Shu Ning, what are you thinking?” Zi Qian Jing’s expression turned cold as he continued, “No matter how critical the situation is, I, Zi Qian Jing, will never need a woman to use her life to protect me!”

‘Huang Er had gone to another world to look for Mother. It won’t be possible for Shu Ning to know where he is. This woman actually chose to use such a foolish method to protect me…’
