Chapter 1941:- Broke Through to the Heavenly-God Level (5)
Qi Lao'er slowly walked to the two old men and lifted the life-like human masks on their faces.
When he saw their familiar faces, even if he had been prepared, he couldn't help but feel a chill.
"These two men are members of the Board of Elders of the Tianqi Kingdom, and they only obey my father's orders."
Qi Su looked at Qi Lao'er and found he looked sad. At this moment, he felt some sympathy. How similar was Qi Lao'er to the former him at this moment? Fortunately, they both met Yun Luofeng, a savior who could change their lives.
"Miss Yun," Qi Lao'er asked, turning his head to Yun Luofeng, "These people followed me for years but were killed through no fault of their own. I don't want to bury them on this spot. I'm going to have the survivors send their bodies to the Tianqi Kingdom and let their souls go home."
"As for the Four-Kingdom Tournament, I'll attend it alone!"
Even if he was alone, he would try his best to win!
Yun Luofeng nodded, "Okay, send them home. Besides, you'll have a chance to avenge your men."
Qi Lao'er said nothing. It never occurred to him that his father would do such a thing to help his third younger brother. He was, after all, his father, so he still couldn't be determined to kill him. However, he would never forget what happened today!
If that man wouldn't do anything bad in the future, he would only imprison him when he took the throne. If he still wanted to lay his hands on him...
Then even though he was his father, he wouldn't forgive him!
Qi Lao'er breathed out slowly, with a smile on his handsome face. "The Four-Kingdom Tournament is going to start. Let's set off."
With this, Qi Lao'er issued orders to the surviving elite. They bowed to him and left, preparing to bring the dead back to their native land.
Qi Lao'er waved his sleeves and looked unrestrained. "Noble Consort Lin, if you want me to serve as a foil to your son, you made a big mistake. I will be the champion of this Four-Kingdom Tournament and I'll never give up!"
Looking at the confident Qi Lao'er, Yun Luofeng nodded with satisfaction...
Mo Qiancheng had been looking at Yun Luofeng by the side. He tried to speak several times but finally swallowed his words.
Glimpsing Mo Qiancheng who seemed to have something to say, Yun Luofeng asked him mildly, "What's up?"
Mo Qiancheng hung down his head and looked ashamed. "Sorry, I couldn't help you."
Now, whenever he thought that Yun Luofeng was almost killed by those people, his heart was filled with panic and anger. However, no matter how angry he was, he couldn't help Yun Luofeng...
It was too late for him to break through the seal!
If he could have broken through the seal earlier, maybe...Yun Luofeng would not have faced such a crisis!
"You don't have to apologize. It has nothing to do with you."
"But..."
But you are Jue Qian. How can I stand by and do nothing?
Mo Qiancheng knew that Yun Luofeng wasn't that close to him, so he didn't say it out loud.
"As you can see, there is great danger in following me. Are you sure you want to follow me?" Yun Luofeng asked, narrowing her eyes.
Mo Qiancheng bit his lips. "I'll be more dangerous if I don't follow you. Aren't you afraid that someone will try to kill me and let me unintentionally break through the seal?"

Chapter 1942:- Broke Through to the Heavenly-God Level (6)
He couldn't tell her that he had broken through the seal, because he wanted to stay by her side. Otherwise, the woman would not let him stay! Besides...
After he saw how many dangers Yun Luofeng would have to face, it was even less likely for him to leave her!
"Let's go."
Yun Luofeng turned her head to Qi Ling and his men and didn't speak to Mo Qiancheng again.
Not long ago, there was a big crowd of people, but now only three of them were left. Feeling a bit sentimental, Qi Ling took a final look at the surviving elite and forced himself to turn his head, "Let's go."
Behind them, the brave soldiers bowed to them until their figures completely disappeared...
...
The Tianqi Kingdom.
Noble Consort Lin was lying on her side on a soft couch, her long black hair falling down to the floor. Although she was middle-aged, she took good care of herself, so she still looked gorgeous.
"Your Highness!"
At this moment, a discomfited figure rushed in, "Something bad happened, Your Highness!" An imperial maid came tumbling over, her face filled with panic.
Noble Consort Lin frowned, "What's the matter?"
"Your Highness, the men you sent to kill the second prince's elite troops were all killed!"
What?
Noble Consort Lin's heart ached and she jumped to her feet from the soft couch, her beautiful face ghastly pale.
"What did you say?"
They were all killed?
As far as she knew, Yun Luofeng was just a god-level spirit cultivator. She could cope with the heavenly-god level spirit cultivators just because she had the dragon scale armor. But she sent two heavenly-god level spirit cultivators!
By no means could Yun Luofeng be their rival.
"Your Highness, it's true. Our men have found the bodies of Elder Bai and the other elder... "
Noble Consort Lin went pale and fell to the floor, biting her lips tightly and trembling.
How could it be?
Even two heavenly-god level spirit cultivators couldn't defeat Yun Luofeng?
How powerful was that woman?
At this moment, Noble Consort felt frightened and regretted sending people to ambush her...
"Besides, Your Highness, I heard that the Second Miss of the Jian Family was disabled by someone," the imperial maid said with a trembling voice.
"What does this have to do with me?" Noble Consort Lin was worried about Yun Luofeng's revenge, and her face turned sour when she heard the imperial maid's words.
"Here is the thing. Your Highness, several days ago, a man went to the Second Prince's estate to look for Yun Luofeng. He happened to meet the Second Miss of the Jian Family who was wandering outside the Second Prince's estate. She claimed that Yun Luofeng was lewd, seducing Qi Su and then the Second Prince. The man became so angry that he disabled her."
Noble Consort Lin frowned. The man was really bodacious! How dare he touch the Jian Family's people?
However, how could Yun Luofeng's friend be an ordinary person?
The Jian Family was really unfortunate. She heard that Jian Yi offended Yun Luofeng and was imprisoned by her. Then the Jian Family paid a great price to redeem their only remaining daughter. However, Jian Yi offended her again and was disabled. The Jian Family wouldn't be able to exchange her for a fortune...
"Do you know where the man came from?"
"I don't know. All I know is that he was wearing a mask... "
Mask?
Noble Consort Lin thought for a moment and had no impression of such a man, so she waved her hand and said, "You can leave now. I need to calm down."
Heavenly-god level spirit cultivators were important even for the Imperial Family.
.
.
.
Chapter 1943:- Fengyun City (1)
The Tianqi Kingdom had lost two heavenly-god level spirit cultivators at one time, which was a great loss for Qi Yu who would inherit the Tianqi Kingdom! At this moment, Noble Consort Lin was still confident that Qi Yu would be the heir to the Tianqi Kingdom and would unify the four kingdoms...
In the woods not far away, a cold man in a long black robe stood on top of the mountain. "Feng'er, wait for me. I'll go to Fengyun City soon..."
The picturesque figure of that beautiful woman popped up in his mind, and a smile appeared on his cold face. It had been more than ten years since he met her. During the ten years, they were apart from each other for most of the time, but this didn't change their affection.
Wherever she went, she was in his heart.
...
Fengyun City.
In normal times, it was like a dead city, desolate and uninhabited. But today the Fengyun City was extremely boisterous. At the gate of the city, a soldier stood guard. When he saw Yun Luofeng and the other two coming slowly, he frowned, "This is Fengyun City. No one shall enter without a permit!"
"I'm the second prince of the Tianqi Kingdom and I'm here to attend the Four-Kingdom Tournament." Qi Lao'er stood with his hands clasped behind and spoke mildly.
The soldier paused, "The second prince of the Tianqi Kingdom? Where are your troops?"
Qi Ling looked up at the soldier and his voice was cold, "I don't need any troops."
He meant that only the three of them were attending the tournament?
The soldier was shocked, but the tournament didn't specify the minimum number of participants, so he didn't say anything more. After Qi Ling showed him his token, he let him in.
"The second prince of the Tianqi Kingdom is so strange. Does he think he can win the tournament with only the three of them?"
"I heard that in the Tianqi Kingdom, the Emperor's favorite son is the third prince. Maybe this second prince just came here for fun."
The two soldiers whispered to each other and didn't say anything more. They continued to guard the gate and checked the identities of the people coming.
Although the Fengyun City was uninhabited at ordinary times, its environment was very beautiful. Even the staging post was luxurious. The gate of the staging post was also guarded by a soldier. After Qi Lao'er showed him his token, the soldier let him in. However, as soon as the three were going into the staging post, they saw Qi Yu stride towards them.
Qi Yu glimpsed Qi Lao'er standing in the doorway and laughed when he saw no soldiers behind him, "Haha, Second Elder Brother, where are your elite troops? Did they die on the way? I think your elite troops are just so-so. They can't even handle some spiritual beasts. Why do you think you can win merely with them?"
Qi Lao'er clenched his fists, "Third Younger Brother, don't you know what happened?"
Hearing it, a grim gleam flickered across his eyes, "Second Elder Brother, I don't know what you mean. I'm sorry your army had an accident. But what does it have to do with me? Don't splash dirty water on me, or else Father will punish you."
Qi Lao'er's eyes glowed red at the thought of his subordinates' death, but in the end, he controlled his emotions.
"Third Younger Brother, remember what you did. One day, I will retaliate!"
Qi Yu sneered disdainfully and his eyes rested on Yun Luofeng's face.
.

Chapter 1944:- Fengyun City (2)
He wanted to mock her, but being stared at by the woman's wicked and chilly eyes, he couldn't help but swallow his words. He waved his hand and clenched his teeth, "Let's go!"
Humph! Though he couldn't touch this woman for now, he would make her kneel down to him and beg for his mercy when he unified the four kingdoms!
As if thinking of that scene, Qi Yu could not help but laugh grimly and his face looked smug.
...
After Qi Yu left, Qi Lao'er turned to Yun Luofeng and explained, "The Jinyang Kingdom, the strongest one of the four kingdoms, hosted this Four-Kingdom Tournament. Princess Jinyang of the Jinyang Kingdom is very talented! Her men are also very strong. She is our strongest rival this time!"
Princess Jinyang was named after the country, which showed that she had a noble status in the Jinyang Kingdom.
Qi Ling said this to remind Yun Luofeng, but considering the strength of Yun Luofeng, he thought he might be worrying too much. When it came to talent, no one in the world could match Yun Luofeng. When she was still at the god level, she could defeat heavenly-god level spirit cultivators. Now she had broken through to the heavenly-god level, so she would only be more powerful!
However, Yun Luofeng only said in a languid tone, with a hint of laziness, "I'm tired... "
Qi Ling couldn't help laughing. "Our residence in the Tianqi Kingdom has been prepared. Miss Yun, Let me take you to have a rest."
"Okay." Yun Luofeng nodded. Instead of wasting her time listening to Qi Ling say this nonsense, she might as well cultivate.
No longer speaking, Qi Ling took Yun Luofeng to have a rest. However, when they were going to leave, they heard a mocking voice from the front.
"Oh, look who is here! Mu Xuexin, your father hasn't died yet?"
The voice was so disdainful that Qi Su's face greatly changed.
"Second Prince, I met an acquaintance. I'll go over there and be back soon." With that, his body turned into a gust of wind and rushed toward the neighboring yard...
In the yard, a girl with her hands resting on her hips stood in the way and arrogantly stared at Mu Xuexin with a sardonic smile on her face.
Mu Xuexin looked calm, but her clear eyes were filled with anger. "You can rest assured. Even if the last person in your Ziyue Kingdom dies, my father will still be alive!"
"How dare you!" Qiao Yefeng thundered, "Mu Xuexin, who do you think you are? How dare you talk to me like this? Your Liufeng Kingdom must have committed a great sin since your father doesn't even have a son. Do you know what it is? This is divine retribution! Your father will die without a son!"
Although they had a little prince, he was not fathered by Mu Zhentian, so Qiao Yefeng said these words.
Mu Xuexin got angry and slapped Qiao Yefeng in the face.
No one expected that Mu Xuexin would beat another participant when the Four-Kingdom Tournament was going to start, so they were all dumbfounded.
"Mu Xuexin, how dare you beat me?" Qiao Yefeng stared in disbelief and said angrily, "Guards, get this god damned woman!"
"Princess..." an imperial maid at her side carefully tugged on Mu Xuexin's sleeve, "we came here secretly, so we'd better keep a low profile, lest His Majesty..."
.
.
.
Chapter 1945:- Fengyun City (3)
This time Qiao Yefeng had snuck out of the Imperial Palace and came to the Four-Kingdom Tournament without the Emperor's approval.
How could her father force her to marry the ugly monster, Ghost Emperor as a concubine?
That ugly monster wasn't worthy of her!
Only the ugliest woman in the world could stand that ugly monster!
However, Qiao Yefeng and Mu Xuexin had been in a bad relationship for many years. As soon as she saw her, she couldn't control her emotions. Hearing the imperial maid's words, she suddenly slapped her hard though she was usually nice to this maid.
"Are you blind? Didn't see me being bullied? This woman beat me. She has to pay!"
The imperial maid lowered her head in grief and didn't dare to say a word.
Qiao Yefeng stared in anger at Mu Xuexin. When she saw the people around her not helping her, she decided to get revenge by herself. But no sooner had she lifted her hand than a strong and powerful hand seized her arm.
Boom!
As the man gave a violent push, Qiao Yefeng immediately stepped back a few steps. Anger welled up within her and she instantly looked up. However, she paused when she saw the young man's handsome face.
In fact, Qiao Yefeng came here for a reason.
Those who came to attend the Four-Kingdom Tournament were all outstanding talents. Before her father forced her to marry the ugly monster, Ghost Emperor, she had to find her Mr. Right. In her heart, a prince would be a good choice.
Princes were not only talented but also had noble status. And some of them were very handsome. Only such a man was worthy of her...
Therefore, when she took the first glance at Qi Su, Qiao Yefeng was sure that the young man in front of her was the husband she expected!
"Qi Su?"
Mu Xuexin turned her head only to see the handsome profile of the young man. She was very happy to see him here. "What are you doing here?"
"I came with Qi Ling. Mu'er. Are you alright?" asked Qi Su, his eyes full of worry.
Mu Xuexin looked shy and she shook her head, "I'm alright, Qi Su. I can protect myself."
"Then I can rest assured." Qi Su smiled and then turned to Qiao Yefeng.
His eyes immediately turned cold, and there was a chill in them. "The princess of the Ziyue Kingdom is just so-so!"
Qiao Yefeng was gazing lovingly at Qi Su but immediately got angry when she heard Qi Su's relentless taunt. "This is a feud between me and Mu Xuexin. What does it matter to you?"
This young man was good looking but had bad taste. How could he be attracted to a woman like Mu Xuexin? Mu Xuexin was not as beautiful as her!
Qi Su smiled coldly and said expressionlessly, "Mu'er is my fiancée. Of course it matters to me!"
Qiao Yefeng gnashed her teeth, "Dog matches dog, wolf matches wolf. Since Mu Xuexin is your fiancée, you must be as disgusting as her! Xiao Cui, let's go!"
Even though Qiao Yefeng was not smart, she could tell this Qi Su wasn't weak, which could be seen from his violent push just now.
Therefore, she glared at Qi Su and walked away arrogantly, followed by imperial maid and guards.
Qi Su withdrew his gaze. "Mu'er, Miss Yun is here too."
"Really?" Mu Xuexin's eyes lit up and her face was beaming with a smile. "I really admire Miss Yun's medical skills. When I have time, I want to learn some from her."
She naughtily made a face and said with a smile, "By the way, why did you come here with the second prince of the Tianqi Kingdom?"
.
.

Chapter 1946:- The Tournament Began (1)
"Miss Yun wants to support Qi Lao'er."
He told about Yun Luofeng's purpose simply.
Mu Xuexin nodded in understanding, "I've heard of the second prince of the Tianqi Kingdom. He is really someone. Miss Yun has a sharp eye. He will surely become a good helping hand for her in the future."
Qi Su touched the back of his head and smiled shyly, "Mu'er, I will be with the Tianqi Kingdom team these days. If you have any problem, come to me at any time and I'll be glad to help you." Qi Su was still worried that she would be bullied here.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine."
That being said, Mu Xuexin's eyes dimmed as she thought of Qiao Yefeng's words. Her father had no son but only a daughter, so she became an object of ridicule of the princesses and princes of other countries.
Seeing Qi Su's worried eyes, Mu Xuexin added, "If I need your help, I will go to you."
Hearing it, Qi Su smiled, "Then I will go back first. Miss Yun may need me to do things for her. Take a good rest."
Mu Xuexin thought for a moment and nodded, "Ok, then I'll visit Miss Yun tomorrow."
For some reason, Mu Xuexin liked Yun Luofeng a lot. Perhaps, that was because she saved her and her father...
At this time, Qiao Yefeng angrily walked into the room prepared for the Ziyue Kingdom and cursed ferociously, "That man must be blind. I'm a hundred times more beautiful than Mu Xuexin, but he only paid attention to Mu Xuexin."
"Your Highness," Xiao Cui said. With red fingermarks still on her face, she didn't dare speak as thoughtlessly as before. She said carefully, "I just heard Mu Xuexin call that man Qi Su, but there isn't a prince named Qi Su in the four kingdoms."
Qiao Yefeng paused and said, "Yes, the man didn't look like a prince. Is he a guard of some prince? No wonder he ignored me. That's because he knows I'm not as gullible as Mu Xuexin!"
The more Qiao Yefeng thought of it, the more she felt she was right. A guard became the princess's fiancé. How could the Liufeng Kingdom's Emperor allow this to happen? That guard didn't fall for her, because he knew that the Liufeng Kingdom had no prince. As the Emperor's son-in-law, if he married his favorite daughter, maybe he would pass the throne to him?
"Fortunately, I didn't pursue such a man, a person willing to sell himself to Mu Xuexin for the sake of power. Such a person is truly disgusting!" A touch of disgust flickered across Qiao Yefeng's eyes and she felt lucky that she was not mesmerized by that young man's handsome face.
She looked up at the fingermarks on Xiao Cui's face and asked, "I didn't mean to hit you just now. I was just too angry. Does it still hurt?"
Xiao Cui'e eyes were filled with grateful tears and she hurriedly shook her head, "Thank you, Princess, I don't feel any pain."
"That's good," Qiao Yefeng smiled, "Spread a rumor for me, saying that Mu Xuexin's fiancé is just a small guard... "
After all, Qiao Yefeng was not from the Liufeng Kingdom and didn't know much about the other countries, so she didn't know Qi Su's status in the Liufeng Kingdom, nor did she know what happened in the Liufeng Kingdom not long ago.
Though she didn't know, it didn't mean the other princesses and princes didn't know it either, so she was just asking to be insulted by asking her maid to spread this rumor...
.
.
.
Chapter 1947:- The Tournament Began (2)
The much-anticipated Four-Kingdom Tournament finally began. In the center square of Fengyun City, people from all the countries had gradually come.
Mu Xuexin caught sight of Yun Luofeng and Qi Su and smiled at them.
Meanwhile...
She also glimpsed Qiao Yefeng who was standing in the Ziyue Kingdom's team and staring at Yun Luofeng. At this moment, Qiao Yefeng's eyes were filled with surprise, gloating, and jealousy.
She was surprised because Mu Xuexin's fiancé stood with another woman.
She gloated, of course, because she thought she would be able to see a good show...
She was jealous... because the woman in white was so gorgeous and looked like a beautiful painting.
Always proud of her beautiful appearance, Qiao Yefeng was green with envy. She really wanted to rip that face off. However, thinking of the good show she was going to enjoy, she still smiled.
"Isn't that the fiancé of the princess of the Liufeng Kingdom? He abandoned Mu Xuexin and found a new lover so soon? Tut, men are so unreliable."
Qiao Yefeng didn't care about the stares thrown at her, and said with a sneer, "You are just a little guard. You hooked up with the silly woman, Mu Xuexin for the power of the Imperial Family, but now you're standing with another woman in public! I think only a brainless woman like Mu Xuexin would choose such a fiancé!"
Yes! Qiao Yefeng deliberately said this in front of everyone. Her purpose was to tell people what poor judgment Mu Xuexin had and to embarrass the Liufeng Kingdom! Besides...
She really wanted to see the two women she hated fighting in public!
Unfortunately, she would never be able to see such a scene.
Mu Xuexin walked slowly towards Yun Luofeng, with a smile on her pretty face, as if she hadn't heard the provocative words of Qiao Yefeng.
"Miss Yun, I wanted to visit you the other day, but I failed to do it due to some unexpected circumstances. Please don't mind it."
Qiao Yefeng's face turned black.
From what she knew of Mu Xuexin, this woman would surely be infuriated if anyone dared covet her man. But why was she so friendly to the women beside Qi Su? At the thought of this, Qiao Yefeng clenched her teeth, her face angry and filled with discontent, and her eyes grim.
Yun Luofeng raised her chin towards Qiao Yefeng, "Do you know her?"
"She's just a crazy woman. Mu'er and I won't associate with such a person." Qi Su said expressionlessly and coldly.
Qiao Yefeng was so angry that she almost jumped up. "Qi Su, who do you think you are? You're just a guard. You are not qualified to speak in front of me!" Qiao Yefeng trembled all over, her face turned purple in anger and she glared at Qi Su.
At this moment, she didn't notice the astonishment in other people's eyes.
Guard?
The Qi Family was the most powerful family next to the Imperial Family in the Liufeng Kingdom, and Qi Su also had a powerful master! Though they were from other countries, they'd heard about Yun Yueqing...
Unlike the Qi Family people, they didn't think Yun Yueqing would never show up. Maybe she was just trapped somewhere and would come out sooner or later. So no one wanted to mess up with the disciples of Yun Yueqing!
"Feng'er, shut up!"
A well-dressed man heard Qiao Yefeng's words and his face immediately changed.
.
.
.
Chapter 1948:- The Tournament Began (3)
"Brother, did I say anything wrong?"
Qiao Yefeng clenched her fists, "I know you don't want to affect the Four Kingdom Tournament, but I really can't bear it. I can't believe there are such a stupid woman and such a shameless man in the world! Fortunately, I'm smart enough not to be fooled by this man."
"Didn't you hear me? Shut up!" The well-dressed man raised his hand and slapped Qiao Yefeng.
To be honest, he had long wanted to beat this woman. She always thought she was the smartest person in the world, but in fact, no one was more stupid than her. His father hated quarreling princes and princesses, so no matter how he wanted to beat her, he couldn't do it.
However, they were at Fengyun City now. How could he miss this chance? Even if the woman went back to complain to Father, he wasn't in the wrong!
"Qiao Zixuan!" Qiao Yefeng was stunned by the slap. It took a long time for her to realize what happened. She covered her swollen cheek and stared at the man in front of her in disbelief, "How dare you beat me?"
Maybe she was too angry. She called him by his name instead of Brother!
"I just wanted to teach you a lesson. How could you say those things before figuring out his identity?" Qiao Zixuan snorted, "Qi Su is the young master of the Qi Family, and the Qi Family is the most powerful family in the Liufeng Kingdom! How could you claim he was a guard?"
Qiao Yefeng was stunned.
Why did such a person come to attend the Four Kingdom Tournament?
Wasn't the Four Kingdom Tournament a competition between princes and princesses of the four kingdoms? And they would only bring guards and maids here with them! Most importantly, why did the heir to the most powerful family of the Liufeng Kingdom... stand with the Tianqi Kingdom team?
Although Qiao Yefeng knew she made a mistake, she didn't apologize but shouted angrily, "Brother, he isn't even a member of the imperial family. You beat me just for such a lowly person?"
What was so important about this 'most powerful family'?
Could it be stronger than the Imperial Family?
Besides, she didn't say anything wrong. Qi Su wanted to marry Mu Xuexin for the status of the Imperial Family. Otherwise, given Mu Xuexin's identity, she should marry someone from another imperial family...
Qiao Zixuan didn't bother to explain to her and just said coldly, "If you still want to stay here, you must listen to me. Otherwise, I will send you back to the Ziyue Kingdom."
Hearing that Qiao Zixuan was going to send her back, Qiao Yefeng immediately shut her mouth in fright and dared not say another word.
Hearing Qiao Yefeng slandering Qi Su like this, Mu Xuexin angrily came forward and was going to argue with her, but Yun Luofeng stopped her. "She said the grapes were sour because she couldn't get them. Do you want to argue with her whether the grapes are really sour or not?"
Not to mention Mu Xuexin, even the onlookers were stunned. After a while, they figured out what she meant and burst into laughter.
"Nonsense!" Qiao Yefeng, pushing away the imperial maid who tried to stop her, glared at Yun Luofeng, "When did I say anything about sour grapes? And you said I couldn't get grapes? What a joke! As a princess of the Ziyue Kingdom, of course I can get grapes!"
Those imperial maids and guards of the Ziyue Kingdom were so ashamed that they wished they could find a hole to hide in. Qiao Zixuan turned blue in embarrassment. Only Qiao Yefeng wondered why people laughed more loudly after hearing her words.
.
.
.
Chapter 1949:- The Tournament Began (4)
"Your Highness," the imperial maid finally couldn't bear it. She carefully tugged on the sleeve of Qiao Yefeng, "she meant Princess fell for Qi Su, but Qi Su is the fiancé of the princess of the Liufeng Kingdom, so you spoke ill of Qi Su..."
The imperial maid had put it euphemistically. What she tried to say was that Qiao Yefeng humiliated Qi Su in public because she couldn't win his love.
It was true, wasn't it?
Qiao Yefeng finally understood what Yun Luofeng meant, and her beautiful face was all red. She bit her lips tightly and clenched her fists.
Mu Xuexin sneered, "You'd better go back and gain more knowledge so that you won't be confused about the meaning of sour grapes."
In front of so many people, Qiao Yefeng was disgraced. Her face was full of resentment and shame. She glared at Yun Luofeng, her eyes no longer filled with jealousy but malice. She couldn't touch Mu Xuexin, but she could punish Yun Luofeng!
As the crowd was laughing out loud, the Imperial Family of the Jinyang Kingdom finally arrived. However, no one dared to blame them for being late. They all stood quietly on the spot and stopped laughing.
"Sorry, I'm late."
The Emperor of the Jinyang Kingdom, Cheng Feiyang strode over, flicked his sleeves and sat on the dragon throne. By his side there stood a beautiful young woman.
The woman had long black hair that was like a waterfall, thick and smooth. She was elegant and beautiful. If describing her beauty with a poem, that should be 'Out of Clear Water Lotus Engraved by Nature.' Without any makeup, she looked unworldly beautiful. In a purple skirt, she looked elegant and dignified. A light yellow ribbon was tied around her waist, which made her look very graceful.
Qi Su looked at the woman standing next to Cheng Feiyang and whispered to Yun Luofeng, "She is the first talent of the Jinyang Kingdom, Princess Jinyang! As Cheng Feiyang's favorite daughter, she is the second-most powerful person in the Jinyang Kingdom, even more powerful than the Empress."
Yun Luofeng's eyes also fell on Princess Jinyang.
Feeling her inquisitive gaze, Princess Jinyang also looked at her...
Though she was a woman, she was still stunned by the beauty of the gorgeous woman in the crowd. She thought she was peerlessly beautiful, but now she met a woman much more beautiful than her. In fact, if only by appearance, she didn't think she was inferior to her.
But the woman had a special temperament that no one else possessed. She was like a queen descending to the world.
Everyone was looking at Cheng Feiyang and Princess Jinyang. At this moment, even the haughty Qiao Yefeng didn't feel jealous of Princess Jinyang.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this tournament will be held by our Jinyang Kingdom. Whoever wins the tournament will unify the four kingdoms and become the real hegemon of the four kingdoms!"
Cheng Feiyang smiled faintly, his eyes shining with sophistication. Although the Jinyang Kingdom was the strongest among the four kingdoms, the other countries also endorsed this Tournament. That was because they needed someone to be in charge of the whole Fengyun Continent.
Of course, everyone hoped that the person could be themselves!
"Next, team leaders, please report the number of your team members!"
Other than the Tianqi Kingdom that had two teams, all the other countries only had one team.
.
.
.
Chapter 1950:- The Tournament Began (5)
However, one team of the Tianqi Kingdom only had three members...
So when Qi Ling reported the number, everyone stared at them with surprise.
"Three? Did I hear him correctly? The second team of the Tianqi Kingdom has only three members?"
"Tut, does the second prince of the Tianqi Kingdom think they can fight us with only the three of them? What a joke!"
They were all laughing out loud, and their faces were filled with ridicule.
Mu Xuexin looked worried. She wanted to say something, but after she saw Yun Luofeng's calm face, she was no longer worried. Of the two, one was her trusted benefactor and the other was her fiancé.
So, she believed in their strength!
Just then, the Third Prince Qi Yu stood out and said arrogantly, "You don't know how arrogant my second elder brother is. Before he came here, he claimed he could crush all other princes and princesses merely with only three persons!"
Because of the relationship between Mu Xuexin and Qi Su, the Liufeng Kingdom people didn't respond to his words.
However, the Ziyue Kingdom and the Jinyang Kingdom teams weren't so calm. As soon as they heard this, they immediately glared at Qi Lao'er and his teammates with anger in their eyes.
Qiao Zixuan didn't say anything, but he looked quite dissatisfied. Yes, he was afraid of Yun Yueqing, but it didn't mean he would be afraid of Qi Su and Qi Ling.
Besides, Qi Lao'er said such provocative words.
Only Princess Jinyang looked quite calm as if she didn't hear Qi Yu's words. She just gazed at Yun Luofeng with her clear eyes.
If there was someone she felt was dangerous, that must be the woman in white...
Even she didn't know why she had a feeling that maybe... this woman would be a strong opponent!
...
Qi Lao'er frowned, stood up and tried to say something. Suddenly, an arm reached out from the side and stopped him.
The woman slightly raised her chin, her eyes looked wicked, and there was a faint smile on her gorgeous face.
"You are right. We can defeat all of you with the three of us!"
She was so arrogant and domineering! Under the sneering and contemptuous stares, she said this! Everyone was dumbfounded. How could she say this in the presence of these princes and princesses?
This was outrageous. She just didn't take them seriously!
Qiao Yefeng sneered, "We know what Qi Lao'er is capable of, but as for you two... I'm afraid you're even weaker than Qi Lao'er. You said you would crush us with the three of you? I've never seen a man as presumptuous as you!"
Yun Luofeng cast an unconcerned glance at Qiao Yefeng, "We'll see."
"You..." Qiao Yefeng pointed at Yun Luofeng in anger, and her chest kept heaving, "Okay, then I'll see what you are capable of in the coming Tournament!"
Did this woman think she was Princess Jinyang?
Princess Jinyang was peerlessly talented. If she said these words, it made sense. But who did Yun Luofeng think she was? How ridiculous that she dreamed of crushing all the other competitors with just the three of them.
It was the funniest joke she had ever heard in her life!
At the thought of this, Qiao Yefeng glared at Yun Luofeng. She would witness whether the woman could really do what she said or she was just crazy!

Chapter 1951:- The Tournament Began (6)
Outside the gate.
A black-clad man stopped in midair. He looked down at the imposing gate and gave a faint smile. However, just as he was about to enter the gate, two soldiers of the Jinyang Kingdom stopped him.
"Stop, show us your identity seal!"
"Go away!"
Boom!
As soon as he snapped, the guards felt a powerful aura hit their chest and send them into the city gate. By the time they realized what happened, the man was gone...
"Come on, report to His Majesty that some unidentified man has intruded."
A soldier stood up with difficulty, covering his wounded chest and gasping for breath. Then despite his injury, he tried to reach the field where the Four-Kingdom Tournament was being held...
...
Fengyun City was small, so the black-clad man soon reached the crowded field. From a distance, he glimpsed a white-clad woman standing among the crowd.
Just then, the white-clad woman seemed to perceive something and suddenly looked up only to see his affectionate eyes, and she felt her heart skip a beat. When she met his gaze, she forgot all the noises around and her eyes could only see the man in the sky.
"Miss Yun?" Qi Su noticed Yun Luofeng's abnormal behavior and followed her gaze only to see the god-like man in the sky.
His first impression of this man was that he was powerful! Although wearing a mask, he still looked so powerful and domineering.
Qiao Yefeng also saw the man in the sky. She frowned and complained, "This man is really shameless. He must have chased me here after finding out I came to Fengyun City."
Curious about Yun Xiao's identity, a prince of the Jinyang Kingdom turned to Qiao Yefeng when he heard her words.
"Princess Feng, do you know the man?"
"Yes," Qiao Yefeng sneered disdainfully, "This man covets me, dreams to get me, and asked my father to marry me to him. But why doesn't he take a look at himself? He is so ugly. Of course I won't marry him."
She didn't tell the prince that her father intended to give her to the man as a concubine. If this new was spread, everyone on the continent would laugh at her!
As they spoke, the man in the sky had walked down slowly. His cold eyes were full of affection and his black eyes were fixed on the woman in white through the crowd.
"Feng'er."
He finally found her...
He would never stay away from her in the rest of his life.
Hearing Yun Xiao calling 'Feng'er', Qiao Yefeng thought he was calling her, her face filled with disgust.
Qiao Yefeng haughtily raised her chin and said defiantly, "Ghost Emperor, I finally escaped from the Ziyue Kingdom and came here. Why did you come here? Who allowed you to call me that? You shouldn't covet someone who will never belong to you just because my father respects you!"
The man looked at her with such tender eyes, so he surely wouldn't be offended by her words! Otherwise, her father would punish her.
Hearing Qiao Yefeng's words, the crowd thought they knew what happened between them and looked at Yun Xiao with sympathy.
.

Chapter 1952:- The Tournament Began (7)
It turned out that the man had come here to pursue Qiao Yefeng. He seemed to have great strength, and his aura was terrifying. Unfortunately, he was so ugly that Qiao Yefeng didn't want to accept his love...
Indeed, everyone heard when he called Feng 'er. Not to mention Qiao Yefeng, everyone else thought Yun Xiao was calling the Princess of the Ziyue Kingdom. However...
After seeing Yun Luofeng, Yun Xiao's eyes could only see her. The noise around him was automatically blocked by him, and he directly walked to the beautiful woman in white.
"Ghost Emperor, are you deaf? I said I don't like you. How can you... "
Before Qiao Yefeng had finished speaking, the man walked past her and headed forward. Qiao Yefeng's face stiffened and her eyes widened in disbelief.
How dare this damned man ignore her?
Qiao Yefeng was furious. She turned her head and shouted angrily, "Ghost Emperor, stop! Are you trying to get my attention by playing hard to get? I tell you, it's impossible!"
However, to her anger, Yun Xiao didn't seem to hear her voice but just walked slowly to Yun Luofeng. His voice was tender, and he was like a different person from the one she met in the Ziyue Kingdom's Imperial Palace...
"Feng 'er, I'm here."
Yes, he was here!
Yun Luofeng suddenly rushed into Yun Xiao's arms, put her arms tightly around his neck, and kissed his thin lips. They were lost in this kiss and everyone around was dumbfounded.
Didn't Qiao Yefeng say this man came for her? So it was not her?
More shocked than anyone else, Qiao Yefeng nearly fainted in anger. She clenched her fists and her nails sank into the flesh.
"Your Highness..." The imperial maid Xiao Cui looked at her worriedly and called her carefully.
Qiao Yefeng didn't seem to hear her. She just glared at Yun Luofeng and Yun Xiao, with hatred in her eyes. Of course, she didn't like Yun Xiao, so she wasn't angry about his intimate relationship with Yun Luofeng.
What she was angry at was... that this man made her lose face in public!
She claimed that the Ghost Emperor came to find her, but he didn't even look at her and did such an indecent thing with another woman! How could she not feel angry?
"Yun Xiao, do you know this woman?" Yun Luofeng asked with a faint smile as she withdrew her arms and pointed at Qiao Yefeng with her chin.
Yun Xiao didn't notice Qiao Yefeng until then. He followed Yun Luofeng's gaze only to see a face contorted with anger.
Looking carefully at Qiao Yefeng, he seemed to think as hard as he could, and finally he shook his head, "I've never seen her."
Qiao Yefeng's face turned purple.
It was more aggravating to her than just ignoring her! She was just saying that he had a crush on her, but the next minute, the man said he had never seen her! How could he not know her? If he had never seen her, how could her father force her to be his concubine?!
In fact, Yun Xiao truly didn't know Qiao Yefeng.
He did enter the Ziyue Kingdom and fought two strong masters, but he only remembered the Emperor of the Ziyue Kingdom besides the two strong masters! Even if Qiao Yefeng was present at the time, he wouldn't have noticed her.
So, Yun Xiao didn't know the woman...
.
.
.
Chapter 1953:- I'll Only Have One Wife in My Life
Ironically, Qao Yefeng had no idea that her father decided to give her to Yun Xiao as a concubine without asking for Yun Xiao's opinion. Yun Xiao never knew she existed!
"Haha," Qiao Yefeng sneered, "You don't dare to say what you've done because this woman is around, right? If you didn't have a crush on me, why did you let my father force me to be your woman?"
Her father told her that the Ghost Emperor had been looking for a woman who was probably his wife. However, she always thought that the woman who took a fancy to the Ghost Emperor must be extremely ugly too. But she didn't expect that woman was Yun Luofeng!
At the thought of it, Qiao Yefeng felt like she was being slapped in the face.
Yun Xiao's face was frighteningly cold, and his aura suddenly changed.
"Qiao Yefeng!" Seeing his sister uttering stupid words, Qiao Zixuan tried to stop her, fearing that the fool would bring trouble to the Ziyue Kingdom because of her stupidity. "Apologize to the Ghost Emperor!"
Apologize?
Those who didn't know Yun Xiao's identity were shocked by Qiao Zixuan's words.
He actually asked the Ziyue Kingdom's princess to apologize to this unidentified man?
"No way!" Qiao Yefeng was very angry. She stared at Yun Luofeng coldly, "I tell you, what you have got is a man I don't want. Do you think your man is really crazy about you? All I have to do is to crook my finger and he will come to me!"
Even Qiao Zixuan was ashamed of Qiao Yefeng's words. Since the Ghost Emperor showed up, he hadn't looked at her and even claimed that he didn't know her. How could she say such shameless words?
In fact, Qiao Zixuan didn't know about Yun Xiao's real strength, because he wasn't in the Ziyue Kingdom that day when Yun Xiao fought those two strong masters.
And the Emperor of the Ziyue Kingdom kept what happened that day a secret to save his face.
Therefore, he only knew that his father respected the Ghost Emperor a lot, but didn't know the real reason. If he had known that even the two strong masters of the Ziyue Kingdom couldn't resist the Ghost Emperor, he would never give Qiao Yefeng a chance to say a word!
Yun Luofeng gave a faint smile and her black eyes were filled with a wicked light.
"Yun Xiao, it seems that you had a good time when I was not around?"
She forgot that Yun Xiao had a one-track mind in front of her, but Yun Xiao had taken her joke seriously. At that moment, he felt so nervous, and killing intent appeared in his cold black eyes.
Of course, this killing intent was not directed at Yun Luofeng.
"Are you from the Ziyue Kingdom?" Yun Xiao's voice was so cold that the temperature around him dropped a bit.
Qiao Yefeng sneered, "You know the answer!"
"It seems... the Ziyue Kingdom should disappear." Yun Xiao's tone was murderous, "I didn't expect that the Emperor of the Ziyue Kingdom would give me women as a gift!"
Qiao Yefeng was stunned.
Her father gave him women as a gift? What did he mean?
Didn't he force her father to do it?
"I have only one wife in my life," said Yun Xiao, turning his eyes to Qiao Yefeng.
It was the first time he looked at Qiao Yefeng, but Qiao Yefeng immediately learned what fear was from that look.
"Anyone who tries to undermine our affection shall die!"
His words were as concise as ever and he released a murderous aura that made Qiao Yefeng's body shiver. At that moment, she remembered the grand spectacle when Yun Xiao fought with the two strong masters that day...
.

Chapter 1954:- Trust
"What... what do you want to do?"
She backed up two steps, trembling all over.
Yun Xiao was expressionless, his eyes chilly, and he looked like a god of death who could easily harvest people's lives in the blink of an eye.
"Ghost Emperor," Qiao Zixuan turned pale and hurried forward, "my sister is young and ignorant. Please forgive her. Besides, she is the princess of the Ziyue Kingdom. You'll be in trouble if you kill her."
Even though Qiao Zixuan didn't like this sister, he would not watch her being killed in front of him.
Yun Xiao didn't speak but approached Qiao Zixuan and Qiao Yefeng with a cold face.
On the stage, Cheng Feiyang didn't want to meddle in the affairs of other countries, but after all, Qiao Yefeng was the princess of the Ziyue Kingdom and came to attend the Four-Kingdom Tournament. How could he let her be killed here?
So, he cleared his throat and said, "No matter what grudge you bear against each other, please settle it after the Four-Kingdom Tournament. Then our Jinyang Kingdom won't interfere."
Yun Xiao looked at Cheng Feiyang coldly and didn't stop. A fierce wind hit Qiao Yefeng and made her shoot out like an arrow from the string. Blood was pouring out of her mouth.
Cheng Feiyang's face changed. To his surprise, this man dared to defy his words!
"Yun Xiao."
Just then, Yun Luofeng's voice came from behind him, "Just teach her a lesson. Don't beat her to death for now."
"She falsely accused me," said Yun Xiao with some grievances.
"Just teach her a lesson. I want to handle her myself!" Yun Luofeng squinted.
She coveted her man and slandered her. How could she let her get away with it?
Seeing Yun Xiao's aggrieved face, Yun Luofeng whispered to comfort him, "Do you think I believe her words? We've been together for over ten years and have been through countless trials and hardships. How could my trust in you be broken by a few words from someone?"
Hearing Yun Luofeng's words, Yun Xiao was finally relieved. Under the mask, a gentle smile appeared on his face.
"Okay, I'm all yours."
Hearing his words, everyone felt their hearts skip a beat. This man was as horrible as a ghost, but even he could be so docile.
Yes, looking at Yun Xiao, the word that came to their minds was - docile!
Qiao Yefeng's body trembled harder, and she couldn't help remembering the first time she saw him when he was as ruthless as a ghost...
At that time, he, like the king of the world, was so domineering and powerful, as if he could take away someone's life in the blink of an eye. No one of the Ziyue Kingdom would have imagined that the ruthless killer could be so gentle...
"This is Fengyun City!"
Cheng Feiyang pounded on the table and jumped to his feet, his face harsh and cold, "Young Master, you can solve your personal affairs after the tournament."
As if not hearing Cheng Feiyang's words, Yun Xiao had walked up to Qiao Yefeng. His eyes were cold and commanding. He, like a king, coldly stared at Qiao Yefeng. He looked at her as if looking at a dead person...
Boom!
Yun Xiao stepped on Qiao Yefeng's chest without any mercy.
"Ghost Emperor!" Qiao Zixuan felt Yun Xiao's awesome power. Fear welled up within him. He clenched his teeth, "Please spare her life."
.
.
.
Chapter 1955:- Death of Qiao Yefeng (1)
Yun Luofeng only said not to kill her.
But she didn't say he couldn't disable her...
Still cold-faced, Yun Xiao showed no mercy. He moved his leg and kicked Qiao Yefeng who was lying on the ground to the air. With a thud, she fell to the ground and left a big pit on the ground.
Qiao Zixuan turned pale but didn't dare say a word. The Liufeng Kingdom people were on Yun Luofeng's side, so they were very angry at Qiao Yefeng's stupid words and wished she could be beaten to death.
As for the third prince of the Tianqi Kingdom and the others, maybe they were so frightened by Yun Xiao's presumptuous behavior that they didn't dare to mess with them.
Only Cheng Feiyang of the Jinyang Kingdom winked at a strong master standing behind him. That man immediately jumped out and attacked Yun Xiao head-on from the sky.
Yun Xiao looked up at the old man falling from the sky, and a cold gleam flashed through his cold black eyes.
Boom!
The old man's attack, with a strong wind, immediately blew off Yun Xiao's mask. His pitch-black hair was fluttering in the gale and slowly passed over his handsome face.
At this time, Qiao Yefeng had been taken out of the pit by Qiao Zixuan. Her body was broken, and blood was pouring from her mouth.
Fortunately, Qiao Zixuan carried spiritual herbs with him. They couldn't heal Qiao Yefeng's injury but gave her the strength to speak.
"Ghost Emperor, you ugly monster, you just retaliated against me because I didn't want to be your concubine. Do you think the woman next to you really love you? No woman will like an ugly monster. Any woman who is willing to stay with you is only for your strength! I'd rather die than marry an ugly monster!"
As Yun Xiao turned his back to Qiao Yefeng, she didn't see his face when the mask was taken off. She just heard the gasping sound around her.
Qiao Yefeng sneered in her heart. She thought the people must be scared by the Ghost Emperor's ugliness.
However, hearing her words, the people around her all looked at her with strange eyes as if she had said something stupid.
As Qiao Yefeng was puzzled, the man slowly turned around...
In an instant, Qiao Yefeng's face stiffened. She held her breath and widened her eyes. Her trembling lips revealed how shocked she was.
What kind of face was this?
It was as perfect as a god's and almost flawless. His black eyes were as cold as hawk's eyes in the night. A single glance of him would make people's hearts miss a beat.
Qiao Yefeng had seen a lot of handsome men, but this man was the most handsome man that she had ever seen. He was so handsome that he didn't look like a human being.
"Why?" Qiao Yefeng covered her aching heart with her hands and said painfully, "Why do you wear a mask even though you are so good-looking? I see. You must have been testing me, to see if I cared about your appearance or not."
Up to now, Qiao Yefeng still stubbornly believed that her father forced her to marry the Ghost Emperor as a concubine because the Ghost Emperor fell for her. Unfortunately, she didn't agree because she thought the Ghost Emperor was extremely ugly.
Yun Xiao looked at Qiao Yefeng expressionlessly, pulled Yun Luofeng into his arms, and gave a gentle smile.

Chapter 1956:- Death of Qiao Yefeng (2)
"You think too much. It's just because over the years so many women pester me that I can't kill them all, so I put on a mask when I walk outside, so that my wife won't feel unhappy."
You think too much...
His words almost drove Qiao Yefeng crazy. Her eyes were all red and she tried to walk towards Yun Xiao several times, but she fell to the ground again because of her heavy injuries.
Why?
Why was it like this?
She wouldn't be so upset if the Ghost Emperor was really an ugly monster, but he was so young, handsome and powerful! How could she reconcile herself to this?
Besides, she was so close to becoming his woman!
"Feng'er," Qiao Zixuan supported Qiao Yefeng with his hands and looked up at Yun Xiao. "My sister knows she was wrong. Please spare her life. Besides, this is Fengyun City, and the strong masters of the Jinyang Kingdom won't allow you to kill her.
As he said this, Qiao Zixuan looked at the old man who just attacked Yun Xiao only to find he was standing still at the side. His expression made it clear that he would attack Yun Xiao if Yun Xiao dared to attack Qiao Yefeng.
Qiao Zixuan softened his tone, "Ghost Emperor, I know you're powerful, but our Ziyue Kingdom is not weak. My father respects you very much, and even wanted to marry Feng'er to you. If you kill my sister, I'm afraid the Ziyue Kingdom won't let you off."
At this moment, Qiao Zixuan thought a lot.
The Ghost Emperor was so young and powerful. If he married his sister to him, the Ziyue Kingdom would grow in strength and surpass the Jinyang Kingdom soon. His sister knows now that she was wrong, so she wouldn't make the same mistake again.
Feeling the anger in Yun Xiao, Yun Luofeng clenched her fists and cast a cold glance at Qiao Zixuan. There was a wicked smile on her face.
"Sorry, I am very narrow-minded. He can only have me as his only woman in his life. If anyone dares to step between us, then I'm sorry I won't let her get away with it."
Qiao Zixuan turned slightly pale and forced a smile. "Miss, I'm afraid you don't have a say in this matter?"
Yun Xiao held Yun Luofeng more tightly. When he looked at Yun Luofeng, his eyes were filled with earnest and warmth, but when he turned to Qiao Zixuan, he looked as cold as ever.
"She can decide everything of my life!"
"If she wants me to die, I will die for her. If she wants me to live, then no one will be able to kill me!"
"Even my life is hers, and you said she didn't have a say in this?"
Even his life was up to her, let alone anything else!
Yun Xiao knew that Yun Luofeng said those words in order to prevent any more women from bothering them. So he didn't mind emphasizing it again! Had it not been for this, he would have killed these people!
"Feng'er, I'll deal with those women lest your hand gets dirty. I'll solve those unwanted admirers myself!" As his figure flashed, Yun Xiao had reached the front of Qiao Yefeng.
Before the old man of the Jinyang Kingdom had time to react, Yun Xiao had put his hand on Qiao Yefeng's head. With a violent twist, her head was wrung off by him, and blood gushed out.
Everyone was dumbfounded, and some people couldn't stand the scene, and ran to the side to throw up.
Yun Xiao looked at the head in his hand, then looked at Yun Luofeng and said innocently, "I just moved my hand and she died. I didn't mean it..."
.
.
.
Chapter 1957:- Death of Qiao Yefeng (3)
The corners of Yun Luofeng's mouth twitched.
He just moved his hand and she died?
Moved... his hand?
However, looking at his innocent look, Yun Luofeng didn't blame him. After all, even if Yun Xiao didn't kill her, she wouldn't spare her life. She stopped him before just because she wanted to solve her herself...
"It's alright. She deserved it." Yun Luofeng said indifferently, shrugging.
It seemed that to her, killing a person was as simple as taking a mouthful of food.
Qiao Zixuan was stunned. He looked at the girl lying in a pool of blood and suddenly felt so grieved and angry. Even if he didn't like her, she was his biological sister. And she was just killed like this before his eyes? However, Qiao Zixuan knew what he was capable of. No matter how angry he was, he dared not utter any offending word.
The rest were also shocked that Yun Xiao would kill Qiao Yefeng so decisively even under the threat of the strong masters of the Jinyang Kingdom.
"Boy!"
Cheng Feiyang was so angry that he jumped to his feet and shouted in a cold voice, "You really don't take my orders seriously?"
He wasn't angry for the death of Qiao Yefeng. What did Qiao Yefeng's life have to do with him? He was just angry that Yun Xiao dared ignore his order and kill in front of him!
How could he bear it?
However...
Without even looking at him, Yun Xiao walked to Yun Luofeng's side.
His cold bloodthirsty eyes showed some warmth hen he looked at the woman.
"If you want to be the leader of the four kingdoms, I'll subdue them for you."
Yun Luofeng shrugged, "I prefer to do it myself."
The man paused and gave a faint smile, "Okay, then I'll accompany you."
If you want to conquer the world, I will accompany you. I will be your vanguard and remove any impedance to your great plan.
...
Their arrogant conversation aroused public anger.
Cheng Feiyang clenched his fists and his eyes were so cold and fierce. Just then, Princess Jinyang suddenly whispered to him, "Father, the princess of the Ziyue Kingdom is dead. We don't need to waste time for a dead person. We'd better start the Four-Kingdom Tournament as soon as possible."
This remark brought Cheng Feiyang back to his senses.
Yes, now for him, the Four-Kingdom Tournament was the most important thing. As for this man, he could settle the accounts with him after the Four-Kingdom Tournament ended.
"Since my daughter intercedes for you, I'll let you off this time!" Cheng Feiyang gave a cold smile and a cold gleam flickered across his domineering eyes, "But you seem not to be from the four-kingdoms, so you're not qualified to attend the tournament."
The man was so strong that even Jinyang couldn't match him in strength...
Just in case, he couldn't let the man attend the tournament.
Yun Xiao looked at Cheng Feiyang expressionlessly, and a murderous aura gradually surged out of his body. It was as overwhelming as a storm. People around suddenly felt choked, as if there was a hand clenching their hearts and made them unable to breathe.
Suddenly, a hand pressed against the back of Yun Xiao's hand. He turned his head only to see the familiar wicked eyes.
"This is my battle. Yun Xiao, I can't always rely on you, I want to rely on my own strength to conquer this world!"
The woman's eyes were so firm that Yun Xiao took back his murderous aura and nodded obediently, "Ok, it's up to you."
.
.

Chapter 1958:- Death of Qiao Yefeng (4)
Yun Luofeng released Yun Xiao's hand and slowly walked toward Qi Su and the others.
"Take away the corpse of the princess of the Ziyue Kingdom." Cheng Feiyang distastefully glanced at the corpse lying in the pool of blood and asked with a frown, "Fourth Prince, what's your decision?"
Qiao Zixuan cupped his fists. His eyes were red as he replied, "Your Majesty, please permit my sister to remain inside Fengyun City for a few days. I will bring her back to our kingdom after the tournament."
Qiao Yefeng was already dead, and he absolutely could not lose the qualification to participate in the tournament.
"Alright." Cheng Feiyang nodded. "Zhen permits the princess to remain a few days, but I don't wish for her to tarnish the rest station, do you understand?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Qiao Zixuan's eyes swept toward Yun Xiao and Yun Luofeng, hatred and animosity hidden in his lowered eyes.
The Four-Kingdom Tournament was an opportunity. He would make Yun Luofeng get a taste of his revenge! She must pay for her mistakes!
"The Four-Kingdom Tournament is next." Cheng Feiyang's voice suddenly turned severe. "As everyone knows, the Fengyun Continent has been leaderless, causing the current Fengyun Continent to be very chaotic. Many scattered experts have formed a team together and plan to be enemies with our four kingdoms!"
Normally, once a cultivator broke through to heavenly-god level, they would be absorbed into one of the four kingdoms, but there were some experts who were unwilling to submit to other people, so they escaped the four kingdoms and went into hiding. And now, those experts formed a team and planned to overthrow the four kingdoms."
This was why Cheng Feiyang summoned the four kingdoms and planned to establish a leader.
"Everyone, don't worry. Whichever kingdom wins this tournament will become the leader of the four kingdoms and command the four kingdoms. No one would dare to disobey!" Cheng Feiyang's voice was powerful, and his face was brimming with confidence.
In truth, he gave this order for another reason. He wanted to utilize the other kingdoms.
But he understood that it would be very difficult to win over the other three kingdoms without an objective. Coincidentally, at this time, those scattered experts started causing trouble for the four kingdoms! As a result, he used this excuse to make the Jinyang Kingdom truly rise above the other kingdoms.
As for failure-he did not consider it at all.
To Cheng Feiyang, there was not a single prodigy in the four kingdoms who could win against his daughter, Princess Jinyang. Hence, Jinyang could certainly win the leadership position for him!
Princess Jinyang's cool voice rung in the silent plaza, "Imperial Father, it is getting late. It would be better for us to start the tournament soon."
Perhaps on purpose, Princess Jinyang's eyes flitted over Yun Luofeng's face, caution entering her eyes. The only one present who she could possibly consider to be a formidable opponent was this woman.
However, she would only accept victory from this battle and absolutely would not accept failure!
When she thought of the consequences of failure, Princess Jinyang's heart would be harshly squeezed, and she would clench her fists tighter.
"Everyone, the content of the tournament is very simple. The tournament will be held inside the Forest of Heaven's Trial! The subject was jointly proposed by Zhen and the other emperors. We also placed the imperial jade seal of each kingdom inside the forest."
Cheng Feiyang continued solemnly saying, "In the process of finding the imperial jade seal, you can not only take away another kingdom's jade seal but also steal it from someone's possession. Whoever obtains the most jade seals will become the winner! If everyone can only obtain one jade seal, then whoever returns to Fengyun City first will win!
.
.
.
Chapter 1959:- Yun Yueqing (1)
The entire plaza quieted down due to Cheng Feiyang's words. The Forest of Heaven's Trial was the most dangerous place in this continent! Anyone who went to the Forest of Heaven's Trial would have a brush with death! No one expected the four kingdoms would use this forest as the arena for the Four-Kingdom Tournament.
"Everyone can be at ease." Cheng Feiyang lightly smiled. "The hiding spots of the jade seals will not be deep inside the Forest of Heaven's Trial. As long as you don't go deep into the forest, you won't encounter danger."
Hearing this, everyone relaxed. The rulership position of the four kingdoms was very important, but they were more unwilling to encounter danger.
Princess Jinyang's expression remained indifferent from start to end. She surveyed the various participants and when she saw them clearly relaxing, a derisive smile slightly turned up on her lips.
When her sight landed on Yun Luofeng again and saw that she was still wicked, aloof, and calm, a glint of admiration flashed in her eyes. A woman like her truly stood out from the masses. However, she wondered whether they would be friends... or enemies in the future?
"I will go with you." Yun Xiao slowly walked next to Yun Luofeng and earnestly looked at her.
Seeing the determination in the man's eyes, Yun Luofeng knew that even if she rejected him, this man would now allow her to go to the Forest of Heaven's Trial by herself. She purposefully lowered her voice and said, "You can secretly follow me. Don't let anyone discover you."
"Okay." Yun Xiao's expression was firm. Even if Yun Luofeng declined, he would still secretly follow her. That was the only way he could relax.
"Right, Yun Xiao." Remembering something, Yun Luofeng said, "Mo Qiancheng is here as well."
Mo Qiancheng...
This name made Yun Xiao frown, but he did not say anything and pulled the woman into his arms. His voice was resolute. "I don't care how many men covet you, as long as you belong to me alone, it's enough!"
No matter how many men want to obtain you, as long as your heart stays with me, what do I have to be dissatisfied about?
Yun Luofeng's heart skipped a beat.
This man's desires had always been very simple. He never restricted her growth and never eradicated the men that appeared beside her. He had always believed that it was enough for her to have only him in her heart.
"Cough, cough." Qi Su dryly coughed, embarrassment on his face. "If you guys publicly display your affections like no one is present, shouldn't you at least consider our feelings? I am fine, but the second prince is still a bachelor. Should you guys really do this?"
Qi Lao'er did not think too much about this originally, but after hearing Qi Su's words, the corner of his lips involuntarily twitched. He suddenly realized that these people's public display of affection truly saddened him.
At this time, Cheng Feiyang had laid down orders for everything he needed to, slowly stood up and said, "The experts of the Jinyang Kingdom will bring you to Forest of Heaven's Trial. In half a month, we will regather at Fengyun City!"
The Forest of Heaven's Trial was not far from Fengyun City, only several hundred meters away. This was why they chose the Forest of Heaven's Trial.
However, when Qi Su heard the name 'Forest of Heaven's Trial', his features shifted and sadness rushed out of his heart. Back then, his teacher went missing without a trace after going to the Forest of Heaven's Trial. Now, he was stepping inside that place. He wondered if he could find her tracks...

Chapter 1960:- Yun Yueqing (2)
Forest of Heaven's Trial
Deep in the forest of a valley, a woman was sitting cross-legged with her eyes closed. Her white clothes drifted in the air. In contrast to Yun Luofeng's languid wickedness, this woman had a more unworldly quality.
Suddenly, an imposing aura pierced down from the sky, causing her eyes to shoot open.
A cold glint appeared in her eyes as she icily stared at the eerie sky. "Since you found this place, why are you hiding? You can come out now."
In the sky, the figure of a woman in a green liuxian dress appeared.
There was disdain on the woman's face as she haughtily looked down on the woman in white, the corner of her lips slightly turned up. "Yun Yueqin, I didn't expect you to hide inside the Forest of Heaven's Trial. Our president taking a liking to you is your fortune! Don't be impudent! I truly don't understand how you are charming to the point of making President this infatuated with you!"
Yun Yueqing was expressionless. "I don't love him. It's as simple as that."
In truth, she also did not know why she could not raise any interest toward any man. It was as though there was a person hidden deep in her heart. However, no matter how hard she tried, she could not recall that man's appearance. There was only a blurry figure shocking the neurons in her brain.
"Yun Yueqing!" The woman in green was trembling from anger. She fiercely glared at Yun Yueqing. "Hmph! I came to find you for something else! I remember that before Master passed away, he handed you a stamp. Hand the stamp over, and I will spare your life!"
Yun Yueqing slowly stood up from the ground, her white clothes making her ephemeral like an immortal. Her expression was very calm, not a single ripple in her eyes.
"The four kingdoms govern the Fengyun Continent, forcing any heavenly-god-level spirit cultivators to join a kingdom. Master established the Freedom Alliance to protect the freedom of people who were unwilling to join the imperial families!"
"However, after Master passed away, you went against his wishes and wanted to unify the whole Fengyun Continent! What is the difference between you and those four kingdoms?"
Yun Yueqing's voice was very forceful as she pressed closer toward the woman in green. "Because I was unwilling to wallow in the mire with you all, you wanted to eradicate me! Yet you still insist he loves me?"
Three years ago, she left her disciple to head to Forest of Heaven's Trial to find medicinal herbs. However, after she found the herb, someone sent her a letter, claiming Master was seriously ill and had her return to the alliance. Who would have expected it to be an annihilation waiting for her inside the alliance?!
Before Master died, he handed a stamp to her. She initially did not know the current president, also her senior brother, had the ambition of a wild wolf. To obtain the stamp, he had no scruples against seriously poisoning her! They took advantage of her poisoned state and heavily injured her. She went all out and managed to escape the alliance. In the end, she chose to return to the Forest of Heaven's Trial to recuperate.
"Yun Yueqing, you don't have a choice. In accordance with the president's order, I came to retrieve the stamp."
The woman in green arrogantly raised her head and continued, "Moreover, President truly likes you. If you only handed the stamp over back then, the president wouldn't have hurt you and would also give you the antidote! Unfortunately, you're too disobedient! The president is Master's eldest disciple, so it's natural for him to inherit the Alliance! You are nothing but a newcomer who only joined the Alliance for a little over 10 years! Why should you take over the Alliance?"
Yun Yueqing quietly chuckled. "I might not know what liking is, but I do know that liking someone means being willing to give everything to that person. They also would not harm the person they like at all. He merely wants to possess me, he doesn't like me."
