Chapter 144: The Scramble Begins
The moment Chu Feng spoke, the gazes of the other Vermilion Bird disciples changed drastically.
As descendants of the three major fire-type divine beasts, they had a special connection.
They looked at Feng Chuiying as if a few beasts had seen their prey.
Because the Vermilion Bird Emperor had once issued a bounty, a member of the Phoenix survivors could be exchanged for a hundred high-grade spiritual crystals and a large amount of pills.
And according to the status of the Phoenix clan member in the Phoenix clan, a higher-grade bounty could be exchanged.
A clan member with a powerful bloodline, whether it was the Vermilion Bird clan or the Phoenix clan, could be seen from their appearance.
For example, the Feng Chuiying in front of them had wine-red hair. This was a mutation caused by the influence of the bloodline power in her body.
From these characteristics, Feng Chuiying definitely had a supreme status in the Phoenix clan.
At this thought, Chu Feng wished he could slap himself twice to wake up. Was this a dream or reality?
In the Vermilion Bird Divine Sect, there were many people with a background not as good as his, but they had soared to the heavens because they had been lucky enough to capture a high-status Phoenix clan member.
He hated that he didn’t have such luck, and the Phoenix clan had not appeared for a long time.
Chu Feng had thought that the Phoenix clan had all died out. He hadn’t expected to encounter such an opportunity in this godforsaken place.
Chu Feng guessed that the Feng Chuiying in front of him was very likely the entrusted person of the Phoenix clan.
Now his goal was very clear. Pleasing the Vermilion Bird Goddess was not as good as capturing this Phoenix girl in front of him in exchange for some opportunities.
Not only Chu Feng, but some of the Vermilion Bird disciples beside him were also a little restless.
The several Vermilion Bird disciples’ gazes intertwined, for fear that the other party would act first and snatch the opportunity.
Chu Feng sensed that there might be a gap here, and he immediately said, “Everyone, don’t be excited. Everyone gets a share.”
“Let’s capture this woman first. Then we’ll go and find His Majesty to claim the reward together!”
Only then did the several Vermilion Bird disciples calm down.
Sensing that the atmosphere on the Vermilion Bird Divine Sect’s side was not right, Luo Yunxuan quickly protected Feng Chuiying behind him.
“What do you people from the Vermilion Bird Divine Sect want to do?”
Chu Feng snorted coldly. “The Snowfall Sect is hiding a wanted person of my Vermilion Bird Divine Nation. This should be a capital crime.”
“But since we found out early, before the great figures of my Divine Nation know about this, you should quickly hand that girl over to us.”
“Otherwise, when the great figures of my Divine Nation find out, it will be as easy as turning a hand to destroy your Snowfall Sect.”
“Don’t bring disaster to your own sect for an irrelevant person.”
Chu Feng’s words seemed to be for their own good, but in fact, he would never tell too many people about this.
The Vermilion Bird Divine Nation was powerful, but the crime of possessing a treasure would happen anywhere.
“Heh, what big words. This girl is someone my Canglan imperial family wants to protect. What can you do to me?”
Luo Yunxuan stood in front of Feng Chuiying without any intention of backing down.
“Brother Yunxuan…” Feng Chuiying hesitated.
“Don’t be afraid. With me here, these people can’t take you away.”
Chu Feng was taken aback. He didn’t hear what Luo Yunxuan was saying. He couldn’t hold it in anymore.
A huge opportunity was right in front of him. Anyone who didn’t snatch it would be said to have a problem with their brain.
“Stubborn. No matter what your background is, I’m determined to snatch this person today!”
Chu Feng flipped his palm, and the scorching Vermilion Bird Flame rose from his palm.
His aura suddenly changed, and the surrounding flames surged to the sky. A layer of dark golden feather-like runes was faintly visible under his skin.
The flames burned, bringing with them a blazing fire. From a distance, it was like a small sun, and the surrounding temperature continued to rise, and the ice and snow continued to melt.
Luo Yunxuan, Su Lingxi, and the others also protected Feng Chuiying, and the power of cold ice gathered to resist the burning of the Vermilion Bird Flame.
Seeing the confrontation between the Snowfall Sect and the Vermilion Bird Divine Sect, many of the middle forces retreated one after another.
For them, they could not afford to offend either side. One was the host of the Glacial Snow Domain, and the other was a person from the strongest divine nation in the Mortal Realm.
Ye Qingfeng looked left and right. As a person from the Canglan Nation, he hesitated with the Sea Overturning Sect disciples.
In the end, he still silently retreated from this area.
“Flame Sparrow Storm!”
Chu Feng was the first to attack. He crazily released the Vermilion Bird Flame with himself as the center. A strong wind came, sweeping the flames with a terrifying high temperature and attacking the Snowfall Sect’s side.
Luo Yunxuan first dispersed the low-level Snowfall Sect disciples to avoid accidentally injuring them.
“Since they insist on fighting, then we will accompany them at any time.”
Su Lingxi and Luo Chuxue also circulated their spiritual energy one after another, and together with Luo Yunxuan, they cast one ice wall after another that rose from the ground to resist the surging flame storm.
Ice and fire intertwined, making a crackling sound. The surrounding air was distorted.
Fortunately, Jiang Xianyue had restricted the cultivation of those who entered the Snow Realm. Although these energies seemed to have great destructive power, they were still within the acceptable range of the Snow Realm’s space.
The disciples of the Vermilion Bird Divine Sect were generally a little stronger than the disciples of the Snowfall Sect, but the Snowfall Sect had a large number of people.
The people of the Vermilion Bird Divine Sect could not take them down for a while.
Chu Feng’s veins bulged, and it was a little difficult to control the Vermilion Bird Flame.
Three fists were no match for six hands. He even felt that he was a little reckless. He should have found a suitable opportunity to capture this Phoenix girl.
There was no other way. Feng Chuiying’s temptation was too great.
This temptation was no less than a starving ghost who had been poor for a lifetime seeing a table of unattended delicious food.
Just as the two forces were competing, Luo Yunxuan suddenly felt that the airflow in the Snow Realm’s space was beginning to change again.
His expression changed, and he shouted, “Oh no!”
“Withdraw your spiritual energy and leave this place. Prepare to resist the second extreme cold storm!”
The speed of the spatial airflow this time was obviously much faster. It was clear that a more powerful storm was coming.
