"Not good!"
King Donglu's expression changed. He felt his connection with the Cloud State Cauldron suddenly break. In the end, he had still underestimated the power of the City Amongst the Clouds.
Not long ago, Li Qingshan came knocking, and Bai Chen attempted to lure him into the city. The City Amongst the Clouds had the ability to suppress everything and isolate the inside from the outside. Once one entered the City Amongst the Clouds, it would be difficult to escape no matter how powerful one was.
Li Fengyuan laughed mischievously, and urged the City Amongst the Clouds to rise continuously until it reached the highest point in the sky.
The astral wind stirred up thousands of ripples on the barrier of light, and the sunlight sprinkled down without any obstruction. The barrier of light slowly recovered its light. Although it was extremely slow, it was clearly in an invincible position.
Li Fengyuan heaved a deep sigh of relief. Alright, he had secured the City Amongst the Clouds. It was one of the most important spoils of war in this battle.
Although they had sacrificed quite a number of human-faced bird-bodied statues, they weren't their own anyway, so they didn't feel the pinch.
"Your Majesty, what do we do now?"
A middle-aged man asked. He was also one of the honoured guests of the king's manor, but he had only gone through three heavenly tribulations not too long ago, so he could not be like the Shadow Cloud Crane King and enter deep into the astral winds. Besides, even if he had the ability, he would not be willing to.
The other cultivators also stopped their attacks in unison, clearly harboring the same thoughts.
King Donglu and the Shadow Cloud Crane King looked at each other and could only sigh.
Even the "White Dragon King" would quickly disintegrate at such a high altitude, let alone an ordinary cultivator. Coupled with the desperate resistance of the Feathered Men, it was almost impossible to take down the City Amongst the Clouds. If they were to disregard everything else, it wasn't like they didn't have a chance at all. However, a pyrrhic victory was meaningless.
"Fellow Daoists. It's useless to continue fighting, so why don't we call a truce here! "Li Fengyuan said proudly.
"Return the Cloud State Cauldron, and we'll mind our own business from now on!" King Donglu said.
"Hehe, you're thinking too much."
Li Fengyuan rubbed his head. It was still in great pain. The Cloud Prefecture Cauldron had hit him hard.
"I didn't hesitate to go against the winged people to help you, and this is how you repay me?"
The Shadow Cloud Crane King had never thought that things would develop to this stage. He vaguely guessed that Li Fengyuan would only be able to calmly take control of the City Amongst the Clouds because Bai Chen had given up on the dispute. If he had the chance to take charge of the City Amongst the Clouds … He was afraid that he would not be willing to be destroyed by others. Not to mention, he could also use this to suppress the entire Winged Human Race and instantly gain control of a powerful force.
As expected of the Feather Men King to be so decisive.
"Fellow Daoist, I will repay your kindness in the future. Please leave today! "
Li Fengyuan was quite grateful to the Shadow Cloud Crane King. Otherwise, there was an eighty percent chance that he would die here today. Regardless of what the other party was thinking, a favor was a favor, and he had to repay it.
"Let's go!"
The King of East Lu saw that things could not be done. Xiao Chen flicked his sleeves and left, returning to the White Dragon King.
The Shadow Cloud Crane King also broke through the air and left. The rest of the Lords looked at each other and dispersed.
Only then did Li Fengyuan relax completely. He lowered the altitude of the City Amongst the Clouds a little and sped up the recovery of the great formation.
The Feathermen in the city were still in a state of shock, but the Feathermen experts quietly gathered over, connecting each other with light rays, forming a three-dimensional diagram, surrounding Li Fengyuan in the center.
"Hmm, as expected! Do you want to rebel? "
Li Fengyuan sat high up on the Cloud State Cauldron, not surprised at all, as if he had already expected this scene.
"The City Amongst the Clouds is the Feather Men's city, what rebellion? Li Fengyuan, on account of your help today, hand over the control of the great formation, and the grudge between you and the Feather Men will be written off. You can leave on your own. "
Li Fengyuan looked up at the sky and asked with narrowed eyes, "Just now, you were the one who said that if there were more phoenixes, you would all eat a few, right?"
"So what if I said that?"
Before he finished speaking, Li Fengyuan appeared in front of that Feather Man in a flash, so fast that none of the Feather Men experts could react.
Li Fengyuan raised his hand and struck. "Scram!"
That Feather Man flew high up, breaking through the air and flying out of the barrier of light.
After the battle, his aura was already very weak. Sharp astral winds swept over from all directions, instantly tearing his body apart. Even his divine soul was shattered, and a ring of white light burst out.
"Good fireworks!"
Li Fengyuan clapped his hands. With Bai Chen's power and the divine power of the Phoenix bloodline, how many cultivators of the same realm could be his match?
Although the Feather Men called themselves Gods, in terms of talent, how could they compare to the divine bird that was favored by the world?
"Kill him!" The Feather Men experts flew into a rage.
Li Fengyuan pressed down with a flip of his palm.
The three-dimensional diagram formed by the light collapsed, and all the Feather Men's power was pressed to the ground by a white light.
In this City Amongst the Clouds, who could threaten the "Feather Men King"?
There were still people who wanted to resist, and statues with human faces and bird bodies flew over and clustered around Li Fengyuan, glaring at the Feather Men experts on the ground like tigers watching their prey.
Li Fengyuan suddenly sighed, and all of his high-spirited and proud expressions dispersed, revealing a sorrowful expression. "I am in a very bad mood now, and there are many things that I don't know what to do. Do you really want me to kill all of you, and then kill all the Feather Men in this city?"
In that instant, all the Feather Men trembled in fear. Although Li Fengyuan did not reveal any killing intent, no one dared to doubt his determination. He was not only the son of the phoenix, but also the son of Li Qingshan, and he had never lacked decisiveness in killing.
"Why, why did our king hand over the City Amongst the Clouds to you?" a Feather Man expert roared, full of resentment.
"Because at that time, only I could save all of you! Although at first he wanted to abandon all of you and have fun by himself, and also that woman … "
Li Fengyuan narrated everything that had happened in the Heavenly Tribulation, neither lying nor hiding anything.
The Feather Men were shocked.
"Impossible, don't talk nonsense, how could His Majesty abandon us, it must be you …"
"Shut up, you can believe it or not, but from today onwards, I am the Feather Men King. Those who are not willing to follow my orders, get out of the City Amongst the Clouds, or I will kill every one of you I see!"
Li Fengyuan returned to the Cloud State Cauldron, frowning as he looked toward the west. The sky was getting darker, and the red clouds were burning.
The Feather Men experts felt the pressure on their bodies disappear instantly. Even though they were extremely unwilling, they knew that they would be courting death if they attacked now. They communicated telepathically to discuss what to do next, but it gradually turned into a dispute, resulting in a huge disagreement.
"Today, the Feather Men are unfortunate, the City Amongst the Clouds has been seized by the foreign race, we should take all the Feather Men and leave this place, building a new City Amongst the Clouds!"
"You make it sound so simple, the City Amongst the Clouds is the work of our ancestors for tens of thousands of years, how can it be so easy to rebuild?"
"What do you think we should do, become the dogs of the foreign race?"
"Who would do that? Who would be the traitor! "
"We must not give up on the City Amongst the Clouds. Otherwise, we will be letting down our ancestors, and our clansmen will not be able to leave this place! "
The City Amongst the Clouds was too important to the Feather Men, not only as a place of emotional sustenance like their homeland, but also as a treasured land that all the Feather Men relied on for survival.
Just the speed of cultivation in this city alone was far superior to anywhere else. It was far better than anywhere else. There was also the huge amount of resources sealed in the treasury. It also provided a guarantee for all the Feather Men to cultivate, and it was not something that could be abandoned at will, so the two factions argued for a while.
Li Fengyuan did not care about the outcome of their argument. If the Feather Men chose to stay, they would be able to better operate the City Amongst the Clouds, and they would also have a group of powerful fighters. Even if all the Feather Men left and left him an empty city, it would still be a divine weapon of war, and he would not have to keep any promises to the Feather Men.
"I must tell the Tree King and … her about what happened here!"
Although Li Fengyuan's strength was not the same as before, he could not help but shiver when he thought of that expressionless face. Thus, he drove the City Amongst the Clouds away from the layer of astral winds, and flew towards Qingzhou.
The Feather Men did not question him again, but they knew that if they wanted to make a decision, it was best to make it as soon as possible.
When the sky had completely darkened, the Feather Men made a decision. Five Feather Men powerhouses brought close to one-third of the Feather Men and left the City Amongst the Clouds.
The remaining seven Feather Men powerhouses came to see Li Fengyuan together. "We are willing to serve you as our king and listen to your orders, but we have a condition …"
"Speak."
"When you ascend, you must return the City Amongst the Clouds to the Feather Men."
"Alright."
Perhaps because he had agreed too readily, the Feather Men were a little hesitant. Li Fengyuan sneered and said, "Do you really think that I am worthy of respect in this broken city of yours?"
Although the Feather Men were not convinced, they had to admit that the phoenix had the confidence to say these words.
"We believe that you will keep your promise, Your Majesty!"
At this moment, the City Amongst the Clouds had already left Yunzhou, and the sky was filled with stars. Li Fengyuan muttered to himself, "Eldest Father, where exactly are you now?"
The stars flickered, but no one answered.
In the deep and dark starry sky, a feather was drifting, and two hands were holding each other's.
"Where is this?" Li Qingshan asked.
"The void beyond the heavens," Gu Yanying replied. Then, she hesitated for a moment before saying, "You … why?"
"If I had known that this would be the result, I definitely would not have come!"
"Do you regret it?"
"I have never regretted anything in my life!"
"That's good. Otherwise, there would be more pain. Do you feel it? Our power is dissipating! "
"Hmm, why is that? Forget it, pretend that I didn't ask. "
Li Qingshan could not feel any spiritual aura. Instead, his own aura, whether it was demonic aura or spiritual aura, was dispersing, as if they were being sucked dry by a huge invisible sponge.
If this situation continued, they would soon die, and it would be a tragic death of starvation.
"The stars here are really bright!"
The stars converged to form a bright sea of stars, like bright pearls embellishing a pitch-black curtain. As they drifted in the void, they were like specks of dust on a pitch-black curtain.
"Hmm, at least this is the benefit. This is the scenery that I want you to see! My father once brought me through the astral winds to see it, but it was not as spectacular as it is now. Alas, we are really insignificant! "
The stars reflected in Gu Yanying's eyes, and she let out a child-like sigh.
"Alright, have you thought of a way?"
Li Qingshan could not help but ask. In this short period of time, he had already done all the common sense. However, those powerful magical powers that could allow him to run amok in the Nine Prefectures were useless here, and they would only be a waste of power.
"I'm not thinking."
"It's precisely because there's no way that I say it's a gamble!"
"You bastard, I don't believe that there's no way!"
