Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 896: Chapter 896: Plotting with the Demon

Under the severe scarcity of Yellow-grade Elixirs, when Phoenix God College suddenly announced such news, it was undoubtedly earth-shattering.

Honestly, even many students from Qingxu College were tempted and began to contemplate leaving Qingxu College to join Phoenix God College.

”What a vicious strategy,” sighed Feng Yanran helplessly. ”With this move, Qingxu College will be completely at a disadvantage in its competition against Phoenix God College, with no hope of turning the tables.”

”Maybe not,” Lan Yu’er said with a slight smile, glancing at Ling Xiao who was wearing a ghost-faced mask.

”Maybe not?” Feng Yanran gave a wry smile, knowing that these Martial Artists from the Heavenly Dragon Continent were truly unaware of the current situation on the Divine Phoenix Continent, let alone the state of the Phoenix God Empire.

”The second announcement!”

Seeing the shock on the faces of those below, Si Kong Zun couldn’t help but snicker to himself; such a small favor was too convenient for winning people’s hearts.

He immediately struck while the iron was hot and announced the second piece of news, ”I believe everyone present has heard of the Ten Great Phoenix Children, right?”

”The Phoenix Children! The Sons of Divine Phoenix, the top ten young people on the Divine Phoenix Continent!”

”Phoenix God College already has two Phoenix Sons, are they going to add new ones?”

”I don’t know, let’s see how the Vice President will announce it.”

In the square, a tense atmosphere permeated the crowd.

”Many of you have probably guessed by now, and you’re right, this opening ceremony, we’re going to have two heavy-hitting students join us.”

Si Kong Zun felt the mood was ripe and so he raised his voice even louder, ”Now, you two may come out and meet everyone!”

No sooner had his voice fallen than a burst of thunder descended from the sky, startling everyone.

The lightning struck the stage, and a young man dressed in blue finally revealed his true appearance.

Calm, serene, with a smile on his face.

”That’s the Thunderhawk Princess, Ying Tian Xia!”

How could the crowd not recognize this person?

One of the Ten Great Phoenix Children, Ying Tian Xia, the most outstanding genius of the Thunderhawk Clan, was actually going to join Phoenix God College. Could the Thunderhawk Clan be pledging allegiance to the Ice Phoenix Clan?

Just then, a rainbow divine light twinkled in the sky, nearly blinding everyone.

The clouds all around turned into a rainbow halation.

A young person, radiating a seven-colored aura, gently descended from the sky, like a beautifully fanned peacock coming down.

”It’s the Peacock Princess—Kong He!”

Everyone was astonished; it was one thing for the Thunderhawk Clan to pledge allegiance to the Ice Phoenix Clan since they’ve never been too strong among the nobles, but the Peacock Clan’s status was second only to the Phoenix Clan. Were they planning to align themselves with the Ice Phoenix Clan too?

Could it be that the Ice Phoenix Clan intends to hold onto the position of Emperor of Phoenix God Empire forever?

This was too shocking!

This piece of news was perhaps even more stunning than any before.

After all, the inclusion of the Peacock Princess and Thunderhawk Princess represented not just two new students joining, but the allegiance of two entire clans.

”Yesterday, when I saw the Peacock Princess and Thunderhawk Princess chasing each other outside the city, I thought they were just visiting the Imperial City for fun. I had no idea they were actually here to join Phoenix God College!”

”This Si Kong Zun, the Vice President, really has a grand hand; with him, Phoenix God College will likely be able to ride high above Qingxu College.”

”Indeed, of the Ten Great Phoenix Children, four are now with Phoenix God College, while Qingxu College has none. The gap is truly widening.”

In the square, the crowd was abuzz with discussion, all of them astonished and emotive.

Feng Yanran furrowed her brows tightly; faced with the unstoppable momentum of Phoenix God College, how would Qingxu College demonstrate its strength?

Ling Xiao’s lips formed a faint smile.

Ten Great Phoenix Children, huh?

Since he had come to the Divine Phoenix Continent, challenging the Ten Great Phoenix Children was definitely on his agenda.

In his view, it would be better for all these people to join the Phoenix God College. By then, if he single-handedly turned the tide and protected Qingxu College, his status on the Divine Phoenix Continent and within Qingxu College would surely rise significantly.

”Alright, the two announcements have been made. Now the grand ceremony will begin. Everyone here is a guest, and I hope there will be no foolish people causing trouble here. Otherwise, I will not be merciful!”

Si Kong Zun’s resounding voice carried an undertone of ruthlessness.

He probably knew there were many among the crowd who were disgruntled with him.

But he didn’t care.

Whether you’re pleased or not has nothing to do with me, as long as you don’t come looking for trouble.

”Feng Qingyan from Qingxu College sends his congratulations to the establishment of Divine Phoenix Medical College, presenting a modest gift. I hope it will be accepted with a smile!”

At that moment, a white figure floated over.

It was none other than Feng Qingyan, the Vice President of Qingxu College.

Of course, he didn’t come solely to give a gift. The powerful aura he released as he soared made it clear that he didn’t want Phoenix God College to get too complacent, so he purposely came to showcase his own strength.

So what about the Sons of Divine Phoenix?

They were merely some young people with talent and potential. Phoenix God College had not dared to touch Qingxu College over the years, not because of these youth, but because of him, Feng Qingyan, the President Feng Qingxu, and another Vice President.

Of course, he didn’t plan to spoil the event, as that would seem petty.

The gift was indeed a real gift, not a fake one.

”Welcome!”

”The Peacock Clan has come to offer congratulations!”

”The Thunderhawk Clan has come to offer congratulations!”

...

”The True Demon Empire’s Minister of Foreign Affairs ’Heavenly Moon Sun Direction’ has come to congratulate and presents a modest gift, hoping it will be accepted with a smile!”

Hearing this voice, many people suddenly became tense.

The True Demon Empire’s reputation was far too notable.

Thousands of years ago, they nearly brought about the Sacred Dynasty’s destruction, inspiring dread among countless heroes.

And the Sacred Dynasty of that time was a hundred times stronger than the current Phoenix God Empire!

Just recently, the resurgent True Demon Empire destroyed the Sacred Dynasty and completely devastated the Holy City. Though they had not yet united the Heavenly Dragon Continent entirely, it seemed inevitable.

Heavenly Moon Sun Direction was a woman.

A very beautiful woman.

Noble, dignified, graceful.

It seemed no adjective was too excessive for her.

Her cultivation level may not match that of the two great Demon Lords, but it was no lower than Marvellous Hand Heavenly Lord Sun Shang, and those who accompanied her were also experts at the Heavenly Man Realm.

”You’ve finally arrived.”

Seeing Heavenly Moon Sun Direction, Si Kong Zun smiled slightly, ”There was one more matter I hadn’t announced since the guest of honour had not arrived. Now, I shall formally declare to everyone—The Phoenix God Empire has reached a strategic partnership with the True Demon Empire. Both nations will not infringe upon each other, will send martial artists to learn from each other, and will jointly counter any foreign enemies!”

As these words were spoken, everyone was stunned.

It was one thing for the Phoenix God Empire to align with the True Demon Empire, but for Si Kong Zun to declare this meant it represented the will of Phoenix God College.

Long had it been rumored that the current head of Phoenix God College was the Imperial Advisor to the reigning Emperor. This was tantamount to announcing that Phoenix God College was the representative of the entire Phoenix God Empire.

Compared to them, Qingxu College was nothing at all!
