Under the cruel gaze of Elders one through nine, Qing Feng and his Mother danced a heartbreaking escape. Their feet gripped the earth, dry leaves whispering beneath each step. The forest became their last refuge, a green labyrinth promising protection. Trees towered like silent guardians, their branches stretching to form a natural canopy.
The Elders relentlessly searched for Qing Feng and his mother, unaware that the woman harbored secrets deeper than they imagined. Qing Feng's mother was a mysterious figure, a woman with a will of steel and an infinite love for her son. She knew that to protect Qing Feng, she had to confront a dark past.
Qing Feng and his Mother huddled in the depths of a cold, damp cave. The stone walls around them were wet and mossy, droplets of water falling from the cave ceiling in a monotonous rhythm. At the entrance of the cave, Qing Feng's mother chanted an ancient incantation. Golden light emanated from her hands, forming a shimmering shield that covered the entrance. Qing Feng could feel the powerful magical energy pulsing in the air, a promise of protection amidst the encroaching darkness.
Inside the Cave: Mother and Qing Feng.
Inside the stuffy cave, Qing Feng and his mother's breaths sounded like the roar of the wind. They had been running non-stop, trying to escape the clutches of the Flowered Lotus Sect Elders. Although her body felt crushed, Qing Feng's mother refused to give up. Her face was pale, sweat soaked her temples, but her eyes radiated a burning determination. She held Qing Feng's hand tightly, as if channeling the last of her strength into her son.
Just as Qing Feng's mother was about to embrace him, the cave suddenly trembled. The vibration traveled through the stone floor, up to Qing Feng's feet, and made him shiver in fear. The barrier protecting them vibrated violently, like a glass shield being struck by a sledgehammer. Qing Feng's heart pounded as he saw small cracks appear on the surface of the barrier, fine lines betraying the strength of his mother's magic. Without hesitation, his mother released the embrace and stood tall, her eyes narrowed as she prepared to face the threat behind the cracks.
CRAK!!
The barrier cracked, the aura entered the cave until Qing Feng was pressured by it. Qing Feng saw that his mother was not under pressure, his eyes full of admiration for his extraordinary mother. Were there more cracks appearing in the cave walls, or were the surrounding plants starting to wither?
Instantly, Qing Feng's Mother saw a woman walking towards the cave with graceful steps, as if she were dancing on the wind. The woman emerged like a ghost from the past, carrying an aura of mystery and unspoken power. Qing Feng's mother only smiled, her eyes flashing with nostalgia, but Qing Feng could only stare with a confused face. Did this woman know his mother? Would her presence change everything?
"Yan Xunxi, long time no see," said the woman, with a piercing mocking tone. The aura that enveloped her emanated like an inevitable tidal wave, forcing the Elders lurking outside the cave to bow their heads in respect and fear. However, Yan Xunxi remained standing tall, her eyes radiating a burning determination, as if ready to face any storm.
A sweet smile bloomed on Qing Feng's mother's face, but behind it hid a deadly poison. "Oh, Sister, why is your face hidden behind a mask?" she asked, her voice as soft as silk but as sharp as a knife. "Are there secrets you want to hide, or is your beauty too dazzling for this world?" The aura emanating from her body made the air around them ripple, surpassing the limits of power known to Qing Feng.
Hearing the mockery, Sister Yan Xunxi was furious. With a rough movement, she drew her sword, her eyes flashing like a sharpened blade. "You are indeed trash, Yan Xunxi!" she grumbled, her voice trembling with anger. "You who should be in the Realm of Dimensional Dwellers, Wei Jing, instead chose that mortal man?" With a speed that split the sky, she darted forward, leaving a trail of chaos behind.
With a smile as calm as a lake in the morning, Yan Xunxi stretched out her hands, as if welcoming the coming storm. Qing Feng, who saw his mother as if resigned to fate, felt a fear gripping his heart. He couldn't let his mother get hurt! With all his might, he ran closer, shouting, "Watch out, Mama!" However, in his heart, he wondered; could he save his mother, or was he just accelerating their mutual destruction?
BOOM!!
A powerful explosion tore through the cave, sending Qing Feng flying like a leaf blown by the wind. Before he could even touch his mother, the shockwave hit him, paralyzing all his senses. The Elders outside the cave were not spared from the explosion's fury; they were thrown backward, their bodies slamming hard against the ground. Dust and debris filled the air, blinding everyone inside and outside the cave. In that chaos, winners and losers were indistinguishable.
In the midst of the thick dust that enveloped everything, a smile appeared, clearly visible even in the chaos. Although Qing Feng and the Elders could only see a faint silhouette, the smile was clearly visible, sending strange vibrations down their spines. "Maybe it's true that I am in the Realm of Dimensional Dwellers or Wei Jing," said Yan Xunxi, her voice calm but echoing in the post-explosion silence.
Before the dust could settle, Sister Yan Xunxi immediately attacked Yan Xunxi, triggering an even more devastating explosion than before. Yan Xunxi quickly pushed Qing Feng aside before the attack hit him. Then, without the slightest hesitation, she ran out of the cave to face her sister, leaving Qing Feng and the Elders behind.
In the Sky: Yan Xunxi and Her Sister's Fight.
After reaching the sky, Yan Xunxi began to summon the armor she had been keeping all this time. From nothingness, the armor appeared, wrapping around her body like a flower blooming in the midst of a storm. The dominance of purple and red emitted a chilling aura, while the flower accessories on the sleeves of her armor gave a touch of strange beauty. The power emanating from Yan Xunxi was so great that the surrounding wind fell silent, crushed by the unbearable pressure.
Even before the leaves reached them, Yan Xunxi and her sister disappeared in an instant, as if swallowed by space. The next second, they were face to face, separated by only a few meters, each ready to launch a deadly attack. The air around them rippled with unseen energy, waiting to be released in an explosion of violence.
BOOM!
Yan Xunxi and her Sister unleashed their power, dragons and water colliding with a sky-shattering force. The explosion tore the sky, revealing a glimpse of the Cosmic Enlightenment realm and the Realm of Dimensional Dwellers adjacent to each other. The force of the impact threatened to destroy everything, leaving destruction and chaos behind.
The fight did not subside, Yan Xunxi and her Sister slashed at each other with astonishing speed, leaving a trail of destruction behind them. The ground was shattered, trees fell like matchsticks, and every attack threatened to tear reality itself. Qing Feng was thrown into the distance, barely able to breathe, while the Elders watched the astonishing fight, beyond their imagination.
"Damn, if this fight drags on, I will be defeated by my own sister," she grumbled, her face beginning to show fatigue. "Ah, I know how." In her mind, an evil plan began to form, her eyes fixed on Qing Feng. Sister Yan Xunxi's eyes narrowed, her lips pulled up into a sly grin. There was an evil glint in her eyes as she stared at Qing Feng, indicating an evil plan swirling in her mind.
Realizing that her sister was targeting her son, Yan Xunxi quickly used her technique. "Heavenly Tier Six Reincarnation Technique!" she exclaimed, moving her hands down, sideways, and up in flowing motions. Between her index and middle fingers, a small ball of extremely terrible light began to appear, sparkling like a newborn star.
However, before Yan Xunxi could release that energy, her sister suddenly disappeared from before her. In the blink of an eye, she appeared behind her, with a deadly flower sword in her hand. Yan Xunxi was shocked and didn't have time to dodge, the sword pierced her stomach. Blood flowed from her wound and fell to the ground, staining the earth with a terrible red color.
A triumphant smile was etched on Sister Yan Xunxi's face as she watched her sister stagger from her wound. "Too bad, Yan Xunxi," she hissed, her voice filled with arrogance and regret. "You could have been my partner, but you chose to love a mortal being. Now, you will die for it." In the distance, Qing Feng's eyes widened, his mouth opened in a silent scream, his face pale with fear. Tears began to flow down his cheeks, reflecting the horror he was witnessing.
The sword was pulled out roughly, tearing flesh and leaving a gaping chasm. Blood gushed out like a red waterfall, staining the sky with death and despair. Yan Xunxi's face contorted in piercing pain, her eyes closed tightly. Cold sweat drenched her pale face, and her lips trembled as she tried to hold back the attack.
However, when her eyes fell on Qing Feng, her previously desperate expression was now filled with burning determination. "I must not die here, before my son is safe," she exclaimed in a thunderous voice. "Defying death, Legendary Tier Phoenix Transformation Fire Technique!" With a swift and coordinated hand movement, she created a pyramid that emitted a strange energy, in the middle of which was an eye that stared sharply.
Instantly, Yan Xunxi's body was enveloped in flames with scorching heat, transforming her into a Phoenix with incredible power. Wings made of fire wrapped around her entire body, and she transformed into a Phoenix, the ruler of the sky whose radiance was so great that it shook the heavens and the earth.
Like a fiery meteor, Yan Xunxi flew towards Qing Feng, leaving a trail of light and hope behind her. The light on her son was a shield that protected him from danger, a power unmatched by anything. She would do anything to save him, even if it meant sacrificing her own life.
Carrying Qing Feng on her shoulders, Yan Xunxi intended to escape from her sister and the Elders' pursuit. Although she knew her son was very talented, she was also aware that Qing Feng was not yet able to face her sister or the Elders. "I will save you no matter what, because a mother is happy when you smile. For your father's sake, you must survive," she thought to herself, her determination burning like an unquenchable phoenix fire.
Watching Yan Xunxi and Qing Feng try to escape, her sister shouted with burning anger. "Chase Them! Don't let them get away!" she exclaimed, her eyes flashing with anger. "It's no use, Yan Xunxi. With such a wound, you won't be able to escape while carrying your son."
The Elders and Sister Yan Xunxi began the pursuit at full speed, like hungry wolves chasing their prey. Behind them, members of the Flowered Lotus Sect joined in the hunt, adding to the threat looming over Yan Xunxi and Qing Feng. This pursuit was a dance of death, where every step brought them closer to the abyss of destruction.
Qing Feng and Yan Xunxi: The Flowered Lotus Sect's Pursuit.
Yan Xunxi flew like an arrow shot from a bow, each flap of her wings was a gamble for life. The wound in her chest felt like a heavy burden, but her love for Qing Feng gave her the strength to keep flying, away from the approaching pursuit.
When Qing Feng turned his head back, his eyes widened in shock. The pursuers were too many, like a great wave ready to swallow them both. His heart pounded, and a cold fear crept throughout his body.
In the midst of Qing Feng's panic, his mother suddenly stopped, taking back her human form. Confusion was clearly etched on Qing Feng's face as he saw his mother stop. "Mama, why did you stop?" he said in a questioning tone.
Suddenly, Yan Xunxi released her technique, putting up a barrier around Qing Feng. Sensing something strange, Qing Feng immediately asked, "Mama, why are you putting up a barrier for me?" A gentle smile adorned Yan Xunxi's face, the fine lines at the corners of her eyes showing deep affection. Although there was sadness in her eyes, she tried to smile as calmly as possible to soothe her son.
Suddenly, the barrier shot away, separating Yan Xunxi from her beloved son. Qing Feng's sadness peaked, and he punched the barrier desperately. "MAMA!" he shouted, the sound breaking Yan Xunxi's heart. Although separated by distance and barriers, Yan Xunxi looked at her son with a look of love and determination. She opened her mouth, uttering words that were unheard, but Qing Feng knew, his mother was giving her last message.
From a distance, Qing Feng watched his mother being stabbed repeatedly by his own aunt and members of the Flowered Lotus Sect. Revenge burned in Qing Feng's eyes, the determination to take revenge consumed him. "I am a descendant of the Yan Clan, and my first step is to strengthen myself. To destroy the Flowered Lotus Sect, then the Yan Clan. Wait for me, Yan Clan," he whispered in a trembling voice, full of anger and deep sadness.
