AST 1821 - Shadow Phoenix Pavilion, The Lair of Assassins

Shen Huang didn't say anything but merely wore a faint smile . Right now, she felt very relaxed . Having experienced life and death twice within the same day, she learned to accept many things . It was as if she was able to see through the meaning of life more .

People tended to say that one's vision determined one's height . There were also people who claimed that one's height determined one's vision . In a way, these two were actually connected . Earlier, Shen Huang had been unable to walk out of her own chains . Everyone had a threshold that they were unable to pass through . This was Shen Huang's .

However, even though she was still unable to cross it at the moment, this was no longer impossible nor would it be able to restrict her . If there were no accidents, she would be able to walk out of it slowly .

"You've changed . " Qing Shui sensed that Shen Huang's aura had gone through a major change and he looked at her and said in astonishment .

The two of them sat very closely next to each other . Qing Shui’s mind was still thinking about how he could help her walk out of this . There were two ways to go about doing this . The first one was the better way and it would allow her to walk out of it . However, It would require time . The other way was to catalyze it directly, causing her to feel that all of her hopes are crushed . There would be nothing more which her true heart had wanted to protect .

When Qing Shui saw her determination during the moment she had lost herself, he knew that he must do his best to treat her with his medical skills . He would only gamble with another method if he couldn't save her with his medical skills .

Thankfully, Qing Shui's medical skills were even more powerful than his cultivation . It seemed that this method wasn't bad either .

"Have I really changed?" Shen Huang smiled and looked at Qing Shui .

"Mmmm . You've become beautiful, and you smile a lot more now . You've become an existence that I can truly feel . It's unlike the feeling before, when I couldn't touch you even when you were right next to me . " Qing Shui chuckled .

When Qing Shui said this, it was unknown if he did it intentionally but he had placed a greater emphasis on the word 'touch' .

Shen Huang threw a glance toward Qing Shui before saying, "I suddenly feel that the world is a lot brighter now . "

There was still something else which she did not mention . It was only because of Qing Shui that she felt that the world had become a bit brighter than before .

Of course, Qing Shui wouldn't know this . He wasn't that much of a narcissist and believed that Shen Huang wouldn't like him . After all, he already had other women and she clearly knew that . Therefore, he wouldn't think of things in this direction .

Unknowingly, it was already evening . Qing Shui knew that it was time for him to leave . Shen Huang got up and walked alongside Qing Shui as he headed out .

"Even if the Dancing Phoenix Continent is currently unstable, it's much more peaceful than before . If there aren’t any accidents, The Golden Phoenix organization will end up in Huo Feng’s hands . Was the person from the Heavy Region Sword Sect who died the Sect Master?" It was only now, when Qing Shui was curious about the mysterious person .

"It's indeed the Sect Master . But with him dead, there's likely to be a new one soon . Furthermore, they'd be in high morale, wanting to seek revenge for the previous Sect Master . " When they were having their meal previously, someone came to report the situation to Shen Huang .

"Seek what revenge? How dare they come to stir trouble when we haven't even gone to them and wipe out their Heavy Region Sword Sect?" Qing Shui said in contempt .

"Crude!" Shen Huang smiled and said happily .

"You look very charming when you smile . You should smile more in the future . There's no need to send me off any further . I'll take my leave . There's still the Shadow Phoenix Pavilion . The few people who have died aren't sufficient to inflict much damage, but the situation has been changed . " Qing Shui stopped and reported to Shen Huang .

He started off teasing Shen Huang, but was very serious when he moved on to something else . Shen Huang reassured him, "There's actually no need to worry too much about the Dancing Phoenix Continent . I've been too reckless previously . "

Qing Shui knew that it wasn't that she had been reckless, but that she had an attitude of hating the world . Moreover, the other party had threatened her using Huo Feng and she also had too much confidence in herself . When she hadn't expected them to use the Intoxicated Immortal Fragrance, she was caught off guard .

. . .

On the way back, Qing Shui kept on wondering who was it that had killed that Formation Master and the man with a bulky physique from the Heavy Region Sword Sect . Since he couldn't find the answer, he decided to not think too deeply about it . After all, if he acted a little more careful, there were only a few people in the Dancing Phoenix Continent would be able to pose a threat to him at his current cultivation level .

Everything at home was normal and the formations around the Qing Clan had been removed . It wouldn't be a huge problem for the people from Qing Clan to keep them activated . Although they weren't highly proficient in the formations, they would be able to move around the formations around the residence with great ease . The only exceptions were the children .

After returning, Qing Shui returned to the peaceful life from before . It was as if all the things that were brewing in the Dancing Phoenix Continent had nothing to do with him at all . He continued to enjoy the joy of family life as well as help the members of Qing Clan get stronger .

The old man from the Soaring Dragon Continent's Great Yan Dynasty was the Dragon Saber Battle God Inheritor . However, he was already old so Qing Shui didn't factor him in . He had no idea if his daughter would be able to pick up after the old man .

Qing Shui's women were outstanding and powerful, but Qing Shui felt that it was a little difficult for them . The Dragon Saber battle techniques weren't suitable for women . Therefore, he hoped that one of the three brothers would be able to inherit it .

Qing Zun and Qing Ming were very stable and after a few more years, they would exude a brilliant glow . Luan Luan was comparatively faster than the others . She could be said to always be at the forefront of people her age .

Luan Luan had grown up and matured . She was now a full grown adult and had many powerful demonic beasts . She herself was also very strong and there was no one restricting her . She could make her own decisions .

Qing Zun and Qing Yin had also been making their own decisions but they didn't have much experience in far distance traveling . If they were to travel, it would be best for them to have a companion . On the contrary, Qing Ming tended to be a loner and had more experience in this area .

Qing Zun and the others were all at Early Martial Emperor but their abilities have stabilized a lot . Therefore, from then on, they would enter a phase of rapid progression until they have reached Peak Martial Emperor without stopping at all .

The time they would take was expected to be around three to five years and would not surpass eight years . Qing Shui had the ability to assess such things .

Their progression rate was a lot slower when compared to Qing Shui's . Even Luan Luan's progression was a lot slower than his . That was expected . After all, Qing Shui was like playing a game with cheats . If he had fewer treasures, he would be far behind from Luan Luan .

In a few days time, news came in saying that both the Fire Phoenix Organization and the Golden Phoenix Organization had come under the Phoenix God Organization .

There was something that Qing Shui was unaware of . Ever since that day, Huo Feng had thought things through and gave up on Shen Huang . In his mind, Shen Huang was deemed to become Qing Shui's .

Shen Huang didn't explain anything nor did she felt that there was a need to give an explanation .

Not only was Qing Shui Shen Huang’s benefactor, he was also Huo Feng's .

After the three influences had merged together, they instantly left Heavy Region Sword Sect behind them . In the process, the Heavy Region Sword Sect had wanted to ask the Phoenix God Organization for an explanation, but they almost ended up being annihilated . Then, they eventually formed an alliance with the Shadow Phoenix Pavilion .

The Shadow Phoenix Pavilion didn't have a good reputation and all of them were assassins . Or rather, those who were strong were assassins . They didn't have a large number but they were overwhelmingly strong . No one would be willing to provoke a group of people who excelled in the art of assassination .

With that, the Dancing Phoenix Continent was split into two opposing forces . The Phoenix God Organization would not take action to deal with the Shadow Phoenix Pavilion in the short term . It was most likely due to the fact that they won't be able to wipe them out completely and if they failed to do so, the consequences would be very troublesome .
