Huang Dai's admiration for World Spirit Masters was boosted by dozens of notches.
And even Huang Xun was in complete agreement. In her hands were both the Spirit detection charm amulet and the Spirit necklace amulet.
Both were great Spirit items that only Huang Dragons with similar authority to Huang Xun can borrow to use.
As Huang Xun gently caressed the Spirit items, she briefly recalled what made them so special.
The Spirit detection charm was engraved with Spirit Laws Marks of the information attainment path. This allowed for a keen detection range that could even pick up on Martial concealment techniques.
While the Spirit necklace amulet was engraved with Spirit Law marks of the concealment attainment path.
The sibling duo could still be physically seen. But no Great Divine Sea expert's Divine Sense can ever hope to detect them.
Both abilities almost seem like a direct counter to Martial techniques.
In fact, many Spirit Law Marks' abilities seem to completely counter Martial Cultivation.
Inwardly, Huang Xun was glad they had extremely powerful World Spirit Masters were on their side.
Enemies like them would be a potentially greater threat than whatever the Ancient Phoenixes can do.
Shaking her head of all distracting thoughts, Huang Xun lightly sighed as she brought a light blue-colored talisman. It was a Spirit vision talisman.
Huang Xun promptly crushed it, causing streams of Spirit energy engraved with Spirit Law Marks to coil around Xun and Dai's eyes.
In that instant, the sibling duo's vision was massively enhanced!
They could easily see a half a mile ahead, peering into the area of four distinct figures.
As Huang Xun saw them, she slightly knitted her brows. "Seems like we arrived at the tail end of their ambush. These guys are certainly vicious."
"Tch. Of course, they are. It's much easier to bully the weak than the strong." Huang Dai spoke in a cold tone.
In the sibling duo's vision were two handsome young men imposingly floated in the air, both of their expressions engrossed in overt arrogance.
Their five fingers were stretched out as bright orange flames discharged from their fingertips.
The flames formed into chains as they coiled around two Huang Dragons, completely constricting them.
These Huang Dragons were both aspiring young men at the peak of the Mortal Realm, the Sacred Sage realm.
They had very high hopes of reaching a good distance in the Divine Origin Realm.
However, until they reached that level, they were still mortal in the end. And as mortals, it was impossible to resist even 1stfall Divine Origin experts.
The Huang Dragons stubbornly glared at their captors even as immense pain was wracking their bodies. Blood that had seeped out of their large wounds sizzled into steam as it came in contact with the flaming Phoenix Chains.
It truly was a pitiful sight.
One of the Huang Dragons still chose to stubbornly snarl, practically spitting out, "To think these so-called mighty Phoenixes needs to resort to such tactics. Both of you don't even have the guts to face our most average Divine expert."
"And you know why? Even the most average one is far superior to the both of you!" The other Huang Dragon spewed his fiery disdain.
Their words were sharp, precisely cutting into the Ancient Phoenixes' core beliefs.
Both Luo Nui and Feng Long gave the appropriate reaction, their brows tightening while their lips curled in seemingly anger.
But the next moment, both Phoenixes suddenly smiled, as if they just thought of a beautiful thing.
Without a hint of shame or regret, Luo Nui plainly said, "So what if we have to resort like this? Want someone to blame? Blame yourself for being too weak. And blame that mysterious genius for acting so arrogant and killing our Senior Brothers and Sister."
Feng Long had even lightly chuckled. "In any case, what you know is of no value to us. All that you confirm is that those mysterious geniuses have an unfathomable Dao Protector. Not even Senior Brother Wu can think about touching them. Ah, you really ran your usefulness."
Coldness shined within Luo Nui and Feng Long's fiery eyes.
They simultaneously revolve their Inner World energies, surging both their Law Marks and Divine Qi.
Instantly, their Divine aura erupted to boiling degrees.
Their Phoenix Chains unleashed a blinding luminous shine as it engulfed both Huang Dragons in powerful Phoenix flames!
"Ahhh!!" Both Huang Dragons gave bloodcurdling screams, their expressions twisting into something horrifying.
Their agony didn't last long; within moments, the Phoenix flames burnt them to ashes.
Between Mortal and Divine, there was a gargantuan chasm that is impossible to cross. Even the most average of Divine Origin experts can kill a peak Mortal genius with a wave of their hands.
The transformation of Divine Qi and Divine Source Laws is one of the ultimate evolution of Martial Cultivation.
It's what countless lifeforms make as their first absolute goal in the Martial world.
When everything was done, Luo Nui and Long Feng indifferently snorted.
Luo Nui waved his hand, causing the concealment barrier around them to shatter apart.
The Phoenix duo then turned into trails of orange lights, rapidly leaving the crime scene.
Back at where Huang Dai and Xun stood, they were silent as they saw the last bit of the meeting.
When the concealment barrier shattered, Huang Xun suddenly narrowed her eyes towards a specific spot.
A cold chill swept through her soul as the Spirit detection amulet confirmed her suspicions.
She told Huang Dai, "As I expected. I briefly detected some kind of information path method in the surrounding area. Thankfully, it was only of the Martial kind. Otherwise, I feared we would have at least been noticed if they had World Spirit Master methods."
Huang Dai subconsciously traced his chin, lost in deep thoughts. "From what I'm guessing, this is most likely some kind of recording method. But if it was there all this time, wouldn't this mean that guy was similarly recording the whole scene? If so, then doesn't he have dirt on his own side? This is a bit strange."
The sibling duo started to recall what they exactly knew about the Ancient Phoenix Holy Land.
While not claimed as a righteous Sect, they weren't an overly oppressive kind.
Outsiders would commonly receive cold treatment from them. But on the inside, the Phoenixes are well-known to look after their own.
It wasn't to a massive extent of being a close-knit Holy Land. But against outsiders, they know how to forgo internal conflict and band together to resist.
Huang Dai and Xun can make a judgment like this as they both experienced the same in their Imperial Family.
Although, they both were aware that their own Huang Dragons are more prone to scheme against each other as it's in their Dragon nature to never stay completely submissive.
Considering all of this, it was a bit shocking to see some kind of ploy going among the Ancient Phoenixes.
Huang Xun thought it over for a few moments before attempting to rationalize with, "Perhaps this not only some ploy for them but for us as well. If we were to join in, we would be implicit with them. Thinking about it, that guy is only aware that we are Huang Dragons and not from the direct main family. He is cautious but most likely doesn't expect us to have powerful methods like this."
"Heh." Huang Dai suddenly chuckled. "This guy is honestly intriguing. He's so daring to plot both against his own kind and the Huang Dragons. But if he knew our true status, I wonder if his guts will still be the same."
Huang Xun didn't bask in the same confidence. Her expression remained serious as she said, "Still, don't underestimate whoever this is. This guy probably orchestrated this whole event right under their noses. At least now we know these Phoenixes are getting more urgent in dealing with us. Let's head back home."
…
Nightmare realm's desolate mountain range.
The black miasma mist was still ever-present, engulfing the whole area in an ominous, death-like aura.
Since the massacre, inhabitants of the surrounding area did come around to explore and shed some light on this mystery.
However, none, not even peak Great Divine Sea warriors or Divine Star experts, can get close without the miasma mist instantly engulfing and absorbing them within.
As of now, this mystery seemed utterly unresolvable.
But at this time, high above the desolate mountain range, in the clear skies, a secret meeting between two incredible figures was about to occur.
No one under the Divine Ruler realm would be able to even sense there were two people in the skies.
The concealment methods of a Divine Ruler were too profound for any one of them to possibly detect.
In the skies, hidden from view, were two beautiful women.
One carried a natural calming grace, her presence enthralling majestic like an empress from an Immortal Palace. She wore the signature Huang Dragon robes, clothing that perfectly hugged her bewitchingly curvaceous body.
A light smile graced her lips, showcasing peace that could hypnotize the mind.
Of course, she was Ancient Dragon Empress Shi Wei.
And across from her was a woman in stark contrast.
A blazing oppressive aura naturally leaked from her, suffocating all those who dared to come close to her. Her beautiful face carried an engraved proud expression as if the whole world was beneath her.
She dawned on the luxurious Phoenix robes that heightened her domineering presence.
She was the Ancient Phoenix Sect Master, Qiao Tu.
Between these two women, one already broadcasted her determined will while the other stayed peacefully calm.
When seeing that Qiao Tu showed up right on time, Shi Wei didn't waste words or time.
She directly said, "How many years has it been since our last meeting? It almost seems like yesterday. But I assure you, for this dealing, you will be more than willing to let all past transgressions stay in the past."
"Is that right?" Qiao Tu spoke in a plain tone, undisturbed by Shi Wei's seemingly infectious peaceful attitude. "Then you're really going have to try and sway my mind. After all, what your kind did wasn't something small."
"Of course. Of course." Shi Wei let out a pleasant chuckle as she ignited her spatial ring.
A purple flash sparkled upon her palm, and out came a unique-looking rose.
