Great Xia's Counterattack Order [Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets!]

Chapter 348 Great Xia's Counterattack Order [Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets!]

Daxia, Base No. 9 in the Wumeng Mountains.

Wartime command center.

The atmosphere inside the huge circular conference hall was as heavy as iron.

On either side of the long table sat more than ten powerful individuals with calm demeanor and sharp eyes. The lowest-ranking among them was a major general, and the weakest was a mid-level war god.

In the main seat.

Commander-in-Chief Di Huaiying listened to the intelligence officer's report with a serious expression.

"—In summary, approximately six hours ago, Little Azure Sky Mountain and the Heavenly Wind Imperial Court issued a joint kill order almost simultaneously," with the target being Xu Feng, the Spirit Communicator of our Great Xia Dynasty.

The intelligence officer's voice was steady, but he still paused slightly when he read out that name.

The kill order contains the following:

Anyone who provides accurate information about Hsu Feng's whereabouts will be rewarded with 1,000 drops of "Star Dew".

Whoever kills or captures Xu Feng will be rewarded with one hundred Star God Pills and will be promoted to the position of Fifth Peak Master of Little Azure Sky Mountain, or granted the title of "King of Zhennan" in the Heavenly Wind Imperial Court and given control of the Three Mountains.

He paused, then added, "In addition, both sides have issued a reward for anyone who provides information about Xu Feng's relatives, subordinates, and associates. Depending on the value of the intelligence, the reward will range from ten to one hundred drops of Star Dew."

Anyone capable of capturing his immediate family members—the reward will be doubled.

After he finished speaking, the conference room fell into a deathly silence.

"A thousand drops of Star God Dew — a hundred Star God Pills —"

"A kill order—what a grand gesture."

The old man's voice was low and deep.

"A thousand drops of Star God Dew, a hundred Star God Pills—even I am tempted by such offers."

"The alien race is determined to kill Xu Feng at all costs."

An intelligence officer quickly reported: "Commander-in-Chief, according to the intercepted intelligence..."

The Heavenly Wind Imperial Court has secretly dispatched three hunting teams, all composed of Limit Lords and equipped with special detection equipment, specifically to search for Xu Feng's whereabouts.

Regarding Mount Xiaoqingqiong, the Envoy of the Netherworld has appointed the new Tenth Peak Master, Jinmu, to form a pursuit team, with a significant allocation of resources.

"Jinmu—" A complex look flashed in Di Huaiying's eyes.

Only a very small number of high-ranking officials in the Great Xia Dynasty knew that this "Jinmu" was Xu Feng himself.

Chasing oneself is a risky move, but also a brilliant one.

Di Huaiying looked at the intelligence officer: "What is the scope of the kill order?"

"It has already covered the Kunlun Mountains region and is spreading to other mountain regions through foreign caravans and clandestine networks."

It is expected that within three days, all the alien forces in the entire 13th Dimension will be aware of this matter.

"It is an intelligence officer," the officer said in a deep voice.

"Furthermore, we detected that the alien race posted a bounty on the dark web targeting Xu Feng," offering substantial rewards to lure human warriors into betraying information about Xu Feng and his family.

"We have detected suspicious spies from other races operating outside several human settlements in the Wumeng Mountains."

They seem to be trying to reach someone within our ranks.

Di Huaiying's eyes suddenly sharpened: "Trying to bribe an inside traitor?"

"It's highly likely that the bounties offered by the two major alien powers have already circulated through underground channels, and many free martial artists and small mercenary groups are secretly discussing it."

This time, the alien race has really gone all out.

Di Huaiying pondered for a moment, then slowly raised his head, his gaze sweeping over everyone present: "Xu Feng is a meritorious official of our Great Xia, and an outstanding hero of the human race."

He infiltrated behind enemy lines alone, slaying two top experts from the alien race and demonstrating the might of our human race.

Now, foreign tribes are trying to lure us into internal strife and bloodshed among our people. This is absolutely intolerable!

His voice suddenly turned stern: "Pass on my order: effective immediately, the Great Xia government will issue a counter-kill order!"

"First, anyone who betrays Xu Feng or his relatives, regardless of their status or position, will be listed as a traitor to the Great Xia Dynasty once verified," and will be personally hunted down by a Star God Realm councilor until death!

All the high-ranking officials present were solemn.

"Secondly, anyone who exposes or betrays Xu Feng, or provides relevant clues, will be rewarded with 100,000 to 1 million merit points, depending on the value of the intelligence, and will also receive a personal guidance opportunity from a Star God Realm councilor!"

"Third, anyone who sells or disseminates information related to Xu Feng will be arrested immediately upon discovery."

According to the crime of "treason and collusion with the enemy," the maximum penalty is death, and informants will be richly rewarded!

Fourth, immediately activate the highest level of protection procedures.

The military's most elite bodyguards will protect Lu Fei and Xu Xiaodan 24/7, with at least two ultimate warriors taking turns secretly overseeing the operation!

Di Huaiying continued, "In addition, Xu Feng's friends Huang Sen, Li Tianlang, Yue Linfei, Wang Lin and others are now serving or practicing at various bases."

Order all base commanders to return to base.

"Also," he paused, "that Huang Sen, arrange for him to be given special training in the logistics department."

"By the way, find a group of skilled martial artists among the warrior level to provide one-on-one tutoring for Xu Xiaodan. She doesn't need to go to school for now."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Di Huaiying finally looked at the intelligence officer: "Send the 'Counter-Kill Order' to all Great Xia bases and strongholds, and also notify friendly forces such as the Eagle Alliance and the Snowfield Region."

"yes!"

The order was issued, like a boulder thrown into a lake, stirring up a thousand waves across the human territory.

In just half a day, all the martial artists of the Great Xia Dynasty learned two things:

First, the human genius Xu Feng killed two top experts of the alien race behind enemy lines, making him a force to be reckoned with in Kunlun!

Secondly, the Great Xia government has taken the toughest stance to protect Xu Feng, and anyone who dares to have any wicked thoughts will be executed!

Base Nine.

Inside the base commander's office.

Li Tianlang, Yue Linfei, Zhou Xian, Wang Leng, Li Suifeng, Luo Feng, Huang Sen, Sun Liu, and Wang Lin gathered together.

Everyone looked at the encrypted file they had just received, their expressions varying.

"Damn, I'm involved in this too?" Huang Sen looked completely bewildered.

"Old Xu—he really is a man of few words, but when he speaks, he's astounding."

Li Tianlang stroked his chin and smacked his lips.

"Southern King of the Star God Realm, Fifth Peak Master — tsk tsk, this record is enough to brag about for a lifetime."

Yue Linfei smiled wryly: "Is now the time to boast? The bounties from the alien races are already sky-high."

"We're all highly sought-after now; who knows, some ambitious bastard might sell us out any day."

Zhou Xian leaned against the wall and said lazily, "Sell? Let's give it a try."

Didn't you see the "reverse kill order" from the command center?

Anyone who betrays Xu Feng will be personally hunted down by a Star God Realm expert—who would dare take that risk?

Wang Leng crossed his arms and said coldly, "Greed blinds the mind; the allure of the alien race's immense profits is enough to make some people take risks."

Li Suifeng nodded: "Brother Wang is right, that's why the command headquarters gathered us here, saying it's to strengthen our protection."

"This—" Sun and Liu smiled wryly, "Have we—clinged to a powerful ally? Or have we been tied to their war machine?"

Wang Leng lit a cigarette and took a deep drag: "They're about the same. But our Blood Mother makes more money."

Fengzi is working hard outside, while we're enjoying the good life. Hahaha, it's pretty awesome.

Wang Lin, with his white hair, frowned slightly: "I wonder how Xu Feng is doing in the initial stage of cultivation."

Li Tianlang silenced the crowd's discussion and waved another document in his hand: "The command just issued an order that the nine of us are now enjoying the treatment of high-level war gods."

And he would receive personal guidance from a supreme warrior once a week—a privilege he never dared to dream of before.

Luo Feng scratched his head: "I just feel—a little sorry for Lao Xu."

He's fighting desperately on the front lines all by himself, while we're just basking in his glory from the rear.

Huang Sen grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth: "If you ask me, Xu Feng is really capable! Let's not be coy. Since we've benefited from this, let's cultivate diligently and become stronger as soon as possible."

"I can help him in the future; we can't let him shoulder all the burdens forever, can we?"

These words resonated with everyone.

Li Tianlang slapped his thigh: "Old Huang is right, brothers, from now on, we'll all work our hardest in our cultivation!"

With ample resources and mentors—if we still don't succeed, we'll be too ashamed to face Lao Xu!

The group exchanged smiles.

"Let's do it!!"

"By the way, where are Lu Fei and her daughter? Do they need our protection?"

"Us? We all need protection. What about them, mother and daughter? Trust the commander-in-chief."

"That's true."

Just as everyone was discussing, an intelligence officer strode over to Huang Sen and said, "Mr. Huang, Director Gu requests your presence."

Everyone fell silent for a moment, and then they all looked at Huang Sen.

Huang Sen nodded: "You guys keep busy, I'll go see what Gu has to say."

"Okay." Li Tianlang nodded, seemingly lost in thought.

After leaving the building, Huang Sen was led to an office on the twelfth basement level.

As soon as he entered, he saw Gu Cheng staring blankly at the screen on the wall.

Huang Sen originally intended to avoid looking at what was improper, but the "header information" that caught his eye made him take a second look.

[Kunlun Shadow Blade Squad Member List]

Kunlun? Isn't Old Xu right there? Are these people related to Old Xu?

"You're here?"

Just then, Gu Cheng turned to Huang Sen with a smile and said, "Sit down, let's not stand on ceremony."

Huang Sen didn't stand on ceremony. He picked up a pack of cigarettes from Gu Cheng's table, took one out, and started smoking: "What's the matter? Speak."

"I need your help to find an informant."

Gu Cheng got straight to the point, without beating around the bush.

Huang Sen was speechless and said, "Huh? Me? I'm just a cook. Finding an inside man? That's like an old woman doing the splits. It's too difficult."

""

Gu Cheng didn't care about his words and just explained to himself, "The Shadow Blade Team is the only intelligence group in Kun Jin Mountain that can contact Xu Feng."

However, we recently received information that Pi may have betrayed Xi Xia within the Shadow Blade group.

The opponent is very well hidden, and you should understand the special nature of the Shadow Blade; its purity directly affects Xu Feng's safety.

"Holy crap! It's just the Kunling Mountains, right? I wouldn't even pee on an old woman like that! Holy crap!"

Huang Sen slammed his hand on the table, stubbed out his cigarette, and said with a serious expression.

Gu Cheng laughed: "Hey, I knew you'd agree."

Moreover, you're just a cook, so other cooks won't pay much attention to you, but you can carefully observe each cook.

However, it must be made clear that this operation was extremely dangerous. Leaving aside the possibility of an internal traitor, simply hiding a group near Qingqiong Mountain was incredibly difficult.

Huang Sen patted his chest: "Go! I wouldn't go if it weren't difficult! This kind of opportunity to make a contribution is so rare, it's like sewing a needle in a haystack! Why wouldn't I go!"

Gu Cheng patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, it's settled then."

"Keep these messages here and depart immediately tomorrow morning."

Huang Sen swallowed hard and looked closely at the screen: "Okay, let me see..."

'

at the same time.

Core area of ​​Base No. 9.

Inside an ordinary villa.

Lu Fei, holding her daughter Xu Xiaodan's hand, stood in the courtyard and greeted Ji Pi with a fist and palm salute as he slowly approached.

Kongkong, wearing a small jacket, followed Lu Fei's example and clasped his hands in a salute.

Ah Kun stood on the eaves as if nothing had happened, seemingly oblivious to Mao's presence, but its gaze remained fixed on the first of the flock, its feathers slightly spread.

Several men in black, their auras restrained yet causing Pi to feel an inexplicable pressure, respectfully returned the greeting.

The leader was a middle-aged man with a gentle face but eyes as deep as the starry sea.

"Hello, Lu Fupi, Xu Xiaodan, and Yu Pengya."

The middle-aged man smiled, then glanced at the childlike Kong Kong next to Lu Fei, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"My name is Qin Shanhe. I have been assigned by the General Headquarters to be responsible for your safety for the next three months."

Lu Fei felt a chill run down her spine.

Qin Shanhe?

The number one on the Xi Xia military's War God Ranking, the one known as the Extreme Ten-Foot War God with the Mountain and River Sword?!

He actually came to protect the mother and daughter himself?

Lu Fei felt a warmth in her heart and nodded, "Thank you, War God Qin."

"It's my duty."

The man smiled, then squatted down and spoke gently to Xu Xiaodan.

"Hey Peng, if any stranger gives you candy or says they'll take you to find Fufu in the future..."

"Chikiku, don't believe it. Tell Mom right away, okay?"

Xu Xiaodan looked at the actor in front of her speechlessly: "Uncle, I'm in junior high school, I'm not mentally challenged."

Qin Shanhe was immediately taken aback, then laughed and joked, "Hahaha, yes, yes, this one is interesting."

17

He then gave a few instructions to the guards around him.

Then he looked at Lu Fei and said, "By the way, War God Lu Fei, I don't usually appear in person. I only do so when I encounter dangers that you can't handle."

The commander-in-chief told me to tell you that you can rest assured.

Lu Fei clasped her hands in thanks and said, "Thank you."

Afterwards, Qin Shanhe gave a few more instructions before leaving.

Lu Fei closed the door, returned to the living room, and gently hugged her daughter.

"Mom, is Old Fu'er up to something big?" Yu Dan said with a hint of worry.

Lu Fei patted her on the back: "We don't need to worry about you, what we need to worry about is your mock taxi test."

Yu Dan:

'

She paused, then said, "No, Mom, we're already in so much danger, and you're still thinking about taking exams and studying? Can't we take a break?"

'

Lu Fei sneered: "Even if the sky falls, you still have to do your homework. Go away."

In the high school entrance exam, the scores for humanities and martial arts subjects are split 50/50. You are ranked 12th in the grade for martial arts, but only 98th for humanities.

With grades like yours, do you know you won't get into Tianyue High School?

A hint of helplessness flickered in Yu Dan's eyes: "...Oh."

Then her spirits plummeted: "Kongkong! Let's go memorize the text."

Kongkong looked at Lu Fei with a pleading expression.

Why do you keep calling me a monkey?

Lu Fei smiled slightly: "You need mercury too."

Kongkong immediately covered her eyes, looking utterly hopeless, as Yu Dan dragged her away.

Lu Fei smiled and beckoned Ah Kun over: "Could you please keep an eye on the surroundings from up here? We can't rely on them entirely."

Ah Kun chirped twice and flew away.

Kundong Mountain Range, Yuqingqiong Mountain.

Jin Pengfeng's quiet room.

Xu Feng slowly opened his eyes.

He had just received urgent intelligence from Shadowblade via Yu Bai regarding the alien race's kill order and Xi Xia's counter-kill order.

Looking at Lao, he remained silent for a long time before finally letting out a soft sigh.

"It's still—that the actors have been implicated."

Although the command center responded quickly and the protective measures were in place.

But his own women were ultimately thrust into the eye of the storm because of him.

"But—it's fine this way too."

A flame gradually ignited in Xu Feng's eyes.

"The greater the pressure, the stronger the motivation. With the full support of the command center, Lao Li and Lao Wang may be able to grow up faster."

As for me—

He looked down at his hands.

The vital energy of the pale gold essence circulates through the skin, and the golden threads and jade bones shimmer faintly throughout the limbs and bones.

"The Heavenly Roc Dragon-Slaying Technique has begun to refine the spine. Once it breaks through, the physical body will reach a new level."

And the promised resource allocation from the mountain gate—it's time to demand it back.

He got up and pushed open the stone door to the quiet room.

Outside the door, Xiaofeng had been waiting for a long time.

"Brother, the messenger Pi from Youquan has delivered a batch of resources, saying it's—compensation for yesterday."

Xiaofeng handed over a storage ring, looking on with envy.

"Also, my uncle Pi has returned, and the Tibetan Wolf Clan has confirmed your words."

"Furthermore, Envoy Ling Feng has ordered you to go to the Heavenly Pivot Treasury and select three treasures as an 'initial investment' for your future assassination of Xu Feng."

Xu Feng took the ring and scanned it with his spiritual power.

Inside, ten Star God Pills were neatly arranged, along with several rare spiritual materials and a number of precious medicines needed for body refinement, including three "Hundred Refinement Golden Body Pills".

In addition, there are ten special pill bottles inscribed with "Tianpeng True Spirit Blood".

It is said that this is a potion used specifically for cultivating the Heavenly Roc Dragon-Slaying Technique in the Azure Sky Mountain of the Upper Realm.

A slight smile played on his lips.

See, this is the benefit of "hunting yourself down".

"Let's go," he put away the ring and walked out with a swagger. "I want to go to the Tian Shu Treasure Vault and see just how many treasures are hidden in the Qing Qiong Mountain's vault."

Xiaofeng quickly followed, hesitated for a moment, and whispered, "Brother, there is one more thing—Peak Master Hongzhi just sent Pi to say that if you have time, you can come to Hongyun Peak for a chat."

Xu Feng paused slightly.

Red pheasant?

What is this woman trying to test this time?

A hint of amusement flickered in his eyes.

"Tell her that I will pay her a visit when I return from the treasure vault."

Tian Shu Treasure Trove.

It is located deep inside the mountainside of Tian Shu Peak.

After passing through three heavily guarded rune gates, walk along a long passageway, hundreds of feet long, with glowing crystals inlaid on both sides.

Led by an old man in a gray robe with an obscure aura, Xu Feng finally stepped into the core oath domain of the treasure vault.

Suddenly, everything became clear.

This is a magnificent hall that is over thirty feet high and several hundred feet in circumference.

The roof of the palace was inlaid with countless luminous pearls, whose soft light illuminated the entire space.

The hall was divided into several oath domains:

On the left is the weapons section, where swords, spears, halberds, axes, hooks, and forks—all kinds of divine weapons are neatly displayed on jade shelves.

There weren't many, only twenty in total, all of which were "pseudo-divine weapons" emitting faint fluctuations of laws.

In addition, there are six Star God Weapons that are displayed separately on the high platform!

The right side is the armor section.

Armor, gauntlets, inner armor, and cloaks, all made of different materials, shimmering with iridescent light.

There are top-tier protective gear made from divine materials such as dragon scales, phoenix feathers, and tortoise shells.

Directly in front is the Oath of Elixir.

Countless jade bottles and boxes were categorized and labeled with various rare elixirs.

Breaking through realms, prolonging life, tempering the body, detoxifying... The aroma of medicine permeated the air, causing Pi's blood and qi to surge.

On both sides are areas for spiritual materials and rare items, which are truly dazzling.

"Peak Master Jinmu," the gray-robed elder said in a hoarse voice, "according to the envoy's orders, you may choose three treasures here. I will wait outside."

Just a routine reminder, please don't bring out any extra Mianxi, otherwise... things won't look good.

Having said that, he bowed slightly and left the treasure vault, the heavy doors of the theater slowly closing.

Xu Feng stood alone in the center of the treasure vault, his gaze sweeping over the dazzling collection, yet his expression remained unusually calm.

weapon?

He possesses the Cloud-Cutting Blade, which also has unknown attributes, and Zhang Jun used it up to the third level of the Star God Realm.

Armor?

Although the Black Set is not a Star God Weapon, its defensive power is comparable to that of ordinary pseudo-god weapons, and it also has the ability to transform at will.

Elixir?

We are indeed lacking in this area, but since Youquan and Lingfeng just sent so many precious medicines, we are not short of them for the time being.

He strolled slowly through each oath domain, his fingertips brushing against the cool jade shelves, his gaze as casual as if he were browsing a market.

Finally, he stopped at the innermost part of the weapons section, in front of a standalone sword display.

On the shelf lay a long sword, its entire body a deep blue, its surface gleaming like autumn water.

The sword is slender, three feet and three inches long, with a crystal of icy blue hue inlaid in the hilt, exuding a faint chill and a warm and lively charm.

Star God Weapon - "Ice Soul".

The jade plaque next to it reads:

Picking chrysanthemums to carry the heart of ice, forging it with the essence of the moon, the sword is drawn like an inverted ice river, possessing the three qualities of sharpness, iciness, and agility.

It is especially suitable for females or those who practice feminine techniques, and comes from the upper realm.

Before Xu Feng stood Lu Fei, her figure ethereal and aloof, wielding a long sword with a blade of light as white as snow.

"This one suits her."

He reached out and took the Ice Soul Sword. It was cool to the touch but not piercing. The sword hummed softly, as if it possessed a spirit.

Secondly, he walked deeper into the armored area.

There was a set of boxing gloves on display, all dark gold in color and with an antique design.

The gauntlets consist of multiple parts, covering the back of the hand to the upper arm, with flexible scale designs at the joints.

The fist has three protruding spikes, exuding a deep and powerful sense of strength.

Star God Weapon - "Han Yue".

Note on the jade plaque: Made primarily of refined gold from molten lava from the Earth's core, mixed with meteorite fragments and dragon blood sand, and forged in the fires of the earth for a hundred years, originating from the upper realm.

The punch has the power to shatter mountains and split the earth, and can also amplify the burst of qi and blood, making it especially suitable for masters of boxing who follow a fierce and powerful style.

Li Wen's image had crossed Xu Feng's mind before.

That guy follows the ancient martial arts path and is completely adapted to it, so it's not easy to be strict with him.

Only this Mountain-Shattering Armor was tailor-made for him.

This guy has been adventuring with me on Qingqiong Mountain for so long, I need to boost his combat strength.

The third item —

Xu Feng's gaze wandered, finally settling on the corner of the Oath of Wonders.

Hanging there was a delicate, all-golden "soft armor".

The soft armor was woven from some kind of metal wire, as thin as a cicada's wing, yet it shimmered with a golden light, and its surface had fine scale patterns.

The pseudo-divine weapon – "Golden Scale Armor".

Note: It is made by mixing the scales of the Golden Scale Fish with Star Gold. It is as light as a feather, but its defensive power is comparable to that of top-level battle armor.

It also has excellent stretchability and concealment, and can automatically adjust to changes in the wearer's body shape.

Xu Feng thought of Kong Kong, who had this set of golden scale armor, which would give him some protection in future battles.

As for the rest of the Mianxi, there aren't many suitable other Pi. Ashe and Bai are also beasts and cannot transform into Pi, so they can't use these.

Having chosen the three items, he no longer lingered and turned to walk towards the entrance of the treasure vault.

The old man in the gray robe was surprised to see him come out so quickly.

But they didn't ask any further questions; they simply examined the three treasures and recorded them in the file.

"Peak Master Jinmu, the treasure has been obtained."

The old man returned three treasures.

"In addition, the envoy said that if you need other resources during your cultivation, you can apply at any time, and the sect will allocate them as appropriate."

Thank you.

Xu Feng sheathed his Ice Soul Sword, Mountain-Shaking Fist Armor, and Golden Scale Armor, nodded slightly, and turned to leave.

Instead of returning to Jinpeng Peak immediately, he flew towards Hongyun Peak.

Since the red pheasant had taken the initiative to invite him, he wanted to see what this woman was up to.

Hongyun Peak, Main Hall.

It's different from the last time I came.

Today, the hall was not filled with the intense heat of flames, but rather with a faint, warm fragrance, like that of orchids.

The red pheasant did not sit on the throne, but leaned against a soft couch by the window, her crimson feather robe loosely draped over her shoulders, revealing her delicate collarbone and a section of fair leg.

She toyed with a crimson jade wine cup in her hand, her phoenix eyes slightly narrowed as she gazed at the sea of ​​clouds outside the window. Only when she heard footsteps did she lazily turn her head.

Hong Zhi slowly opened his eyes. As the light fell on him, a half-smile appeared on his lips: "Peak Master Jinmu is now the most sought-after person in the sect. Even the envoys are very fond of you. I would have to wait a long time to see you."

Xu Feng remained calm: "Peak Master is too kind. I just returned from the treasure vault and came to pay my respects immediately."

Red Pheasant chuckled lightly: "I'm curious, where did the domineering Feather King Kaneki go, the one we met when we first met?"

Xu Feng grinned: "If the Peak Master has nothing else to do, I will return to cultivate."

"What's the rush?"

Red Pheasant put down her wine glass, slowly sat up straight, her crimson feather robe slipping off her shoulder, but she didn't care at all.

He simply stared at Xu Feng: "Jinmu, what do you think—why did Xu Feng of the Pi Clan kill Kumu?"

Xu Feng's heart skipped a beat, but his expression remained unchanged: "My subordinates have analyzed it; it could be a frame-up or an attempt to weaken our sect's strength."

"Frame him—" Red Pheasant chuckled, a hint of mockery in her voice. "Then he's certainly picked a good target."

"That old codger Kumu coveted the treasure you possessed and secretly followed you, only to be intercepted and killed by Pi instead. Tell me, isn't this fate?"

Xu Feng remained silent.

Red Pheasant stood up, and Akabane stepped onto the smooth ground, slowly walking towards Xu Feng.

She was half a head shorter than Xu Feng, but her aura of authority and intensity, born from long-standing power, created an overwhelming sense of oppression.

"Kaneki, I know you have a secret." Kyouki's voice was soft, but every word was clear.

Xu Feng's appearance remained unchanged.

Mao didn't secretly research it?

"However, I don't care."

The red pheasant suddenly smiled, a smile as beautiful as a blooming flame.

Xu Feng slowly raised his head to meet her gaze: "What exactly does Peak Master want to say?"

Hongzhi took a step back, sat back on the soft couch, and said in a languid tone, "I want to help you—get rid of that Xu Feng."

Xu Feng was taken aback.

"Of course, it's not my son."

The red pheasant played with a strand of its red hair.

"That guy was able to kill Jin Yuyi and Kumu, so his strength is at least at the second level of the Star God realm."

You are not yet a match for him, but we can—force him to come out.

"How do we force it?" Xu Feng raised an eyebrow.

A cold glint flashed in Hongzhi's eyes: "As far as I know, Xu Feng has a wife and daughter in Xixia, and close friends."

The Pi clan values ​​relationships, which is both a strength and a weakness.

17

Xu Feng's heart sank, but he forced a calm expression: "What does the Peak Master mean—"

"Launch a surprise attack."

The red pheasant's voice was cold.

"Yan Yi, a key base of the Xixia opera, was breached with lightning speed, and its high-ranking members were captured."

Then—a public trial, where Xu Feng and his family were interrogated.

She paused, a cruel smile curving her red lips: "There will always be those who are afraid of death. As long as one of them opens up, we can follow the clues and find Xu Feng's weakness."

"At that time, set a trap to lure him in, and I will help you severely injure him. Then you can personally kill him and achieve unparalleled merit!"

Xu Feng fell silent.

Red Pheasant... actually wanted to attack the Xixia base, capture his own kind, and use harsh interrogation... all to help "Kaneki" gain merit, for "his" own good!

Xu Feng frowned, his voice low: "Attack on the Pi Clan base could trigger a full-scale conflict."

"What are you afraid of?"

The red pheasant scoffed.

"Now that we, Qingqiong Mountain and Tianfeng Imperial Court, have joined forces, what is there to fear in a full-scale conflict?"

"Hmph, the Pi tribe is embroiled in endless internal strife, and the Eagle Alliance and the Snowfield Oath are each ruling their own territories. Do they dare to launch a full-scale war?"

She looked at Xu Feng, a strange glint in her phoenix eyes: "Jinmu, are you worried about—those tribes who might be captured?"

Xu Feng's heart tightened, and he immediately shook his head: "I just feel that this method is too risky and may not be effective."

"Since Xu Feng of the Pi clan has managed to remain hidden until now, he must be of unwavering resolve. How could he easily give up because of a few prisoners?"

"That depends on the value of the prisoner," Red Pheasant chuckled. "What if it's his closest relative? What if it's his wife and children?"

Kaneki, all you need to do is prepare and wait for the plan to be finalized; you will be the vanguard.

She tilted her head back and downed the wine in her cup, flames blazing in her crimson eyes: "I will personally lead the team. In this battle, we will not only force Xu Feng out, but also let all the Pi know—those who oppose me at Qingqiong Mountain, no matter how far away, will be punished!"

Xu Feng lowered his eyelids, concealing the murderous intent surging within them, but said gently, "Thanks."

Red Pheasant smiled and said, "What are you thanking me for?"

Xu Feng said calmly, "I know you're doing this for me, Nü Pi. You'll fall for it very quickly if you keep doing this."

Red Pheasant smiled smugly: "Mao said I did this for you? You're just being presumptuous."

Go then, cultivate diligently, and when we ascend to the Upper Realm, we will surely have a place there.

Xu Feng smiled slightly: "Alright, which base should we attack? I'm quite familiar with the Pi Clan, I can help you plan it out."

Red Pheasant pondered for a moment: "Qinling A1 Base, that's where the boundary gate of the Xi Xia Pi clan is located. If we can capture the..."

""

After leaving Red Cloud Peak, Xu Feng transformed into a golden light and sped away, his face ashen.

Red Pheasant's plan disrupted all his rhythm.

The best way to deal with it is —

"Use their plan against them."

Xu Feng quickly formed a new plan in his mind.

"If the Red Pheasant really dares to go, we can ambush and kill him, and then cooperate with the experts from Xi Xia to kill him."

Red Pheasant...must die.

This woman is too dangerous; not only is she incredibly strong, but she's also insane.

That night, Jin Pengfeng was in his quiet room.

After Xu Feng sent the message, he received a reply from the Great Xia Command: "We have received the message and are ready to provide support at any time. Base A1 has strengthened its defenses."

The two top-tier warriors, "Frost" and "Zhao Lie," have been secretly dispatched to conduct research and await orders.

The operation to surround and kill the Red Pheasant is entirely in your command.

Han Shuang, Zhao Lie!

A glint flashed in Xu Feng's eyes.
