Chapter 366: Why Kill Feng Tianlan?

When they reached their inn, Feng Tianlan pulled Luo Yunzhu to a stop as she glumly walked forward. “Yunzhu,” she said. “There are dangers associated with being Lady Phoenix.”

“I didn’t see any danger! All I saw was Tu Xiupei snatching away something of yours again then you deciding to suffer it in silence again,” Luo Yunzhu pouted angrily. She was furious, but she stopped, looked up at Feng Tianlan, and waited for her to explain everything.

“The Demonic Beasts did not start fighting because we picked the Spiritual Grass. Nor was it because of some natural disaster caused the ‘First Tide of Beasts.’ The whole thing was created by humans, and I told you so that day too.”

Luo Yunzhu blinked and answered, “I think you mentioned it.” It had been extremely dangerous that night, so she didn’t really remember much. But when she considered how the Ice Phoenix had attacked Tianlan and no one else, that explanation really covered everything.

“If a human can create unrest among Demonic Beasts, then, tell me, what level do you have to reach to make thousands of beasts listen to your command?”

When she heard this, Luo Yunzhu hung her head in shame. “I can’t guess.” The strongest person she knew was her own father.

“You are a Water Element Spiritual Practitioner. That night, the Ice Phoenix was derived using a skill that can only be wielded by an Ice Element Heavenly Supreme Spiritual Practitioner. He made all the Demonic Beasts start fighting, and his target was me.”

Luo Yunzhu’s eyes widened. She was filled with questions. “Heavenly Supreme? What sort of power is that, and why does he want to kill you?”

‘Heavenly Supreme’ sounded very powerful. A strong fighter at the Supreme level had to be a supreme from the Xuantian Continent. Why would anyone purposely come all the way here to kill Tianlan?

“It is very complicated and difficult to explain in a few words. To put it simply, he is at Heavenly Supreme level from Xuantian Continent. Initially, he didn’t know that the person he was supposed to kill was me…”

Luo Yunzhu raised her hand and interrupted Feng Tianlan, “Wait. I don’t understand that part.”

“What I meant to say was this. This man is not coming after me because I’m Feng Tianlan. He only realized with certainty that I am the one he is meant to kill after I used Phoenix Soaring Above Nine Skies,” Feng Tianlan explained.

Luo Yunzhu bent her head and thought through these words carefully. “So, you mean to say that, if you hadn’t used Phoenix Soaring Above Nine Skies, he wouldn’t have tried to kill you. The person whom he wants to kill is the owner of the Fire Phoenix.”

“That’s right.”

Luo Yunzhu blinked and retorted, “That makes it even more complicated! According to this theory, doesn’t that mean he’s going to kill everyone who knows Phoenix Soaring Above Nine Skies? What feud does he have with this particular skill?”

Feng Tianlan shook her head gently. “I don’t know. But he is just following instructions, so this sort of assassination attempt is going to keep happening.”

Luo Yunzhu felt like she had taken a terrible blow. If a supreme at a level like Heavenly Supreme had to obey someone else’s instructions, then the person who had given the instructions must be remarkably powerful. It was scary, even just thinking about it.

“Tianlan, don’t be afraid. No matter how dangerous the road ahead is, I will always be by your side.”

When she heard Luo Yunzhu pledge her allegiance so fiercely, Feng Tianlan smiled warmly. “Don’t be so rash. Otherwise, you’ll be the one on the losing end.”

“I’ll take note next time,” Luo Yunzhu said and stuck out her tongue. She was glad that she hadn’t announced earlier that Tianlan was Lady Phoenix in public. Otherwise, the threat would have fallen on Tianlan. “Tianlan, you’re so vengeful. Since you let Tu Xiupei assume this terrible identity, she’s going to meet with danger soon, right?”

Now she finally understood why Tianlan was willing to give the glory and honor of being Lady Phoenix so readily to Tu Xiupei!

“It’s not so simple, Big Br—” Feng Tianlan frowned and cut herself off. She started walking ahead. “I’m going to take a look at Mobai. Then, I’ll go and make Beautifying Pills.”

When she entered the courtyard, Feng Tianlan noticed that the door was ajar. She frowned and quickly walked in. The scene before the bed immediately made her go cold.

Luo Yunzhu followed closely behind her and shouted, “Lin Suyin, what are you doing?!”
