Chapter 2389: Forces (2)



Tantai Xue's voice turned serious. "The Ancient Battlefield is a place of endless strife and opportunism. News of your Divine Phoenix bloodline will spread like wildfire, attracting those who seek to exploit your power, to claim it for themselves."

She paused, her gaze piercing Nantian Fengyu's. "You should have killed that commander. Leaving him alive was a mistake. He will undoubtedly seek revenge, and he will not come alone."

Nantian Fengyu's expression hardened. She knew Tantai Xue was right.

"It doesn't matter." Nantian Fengyu said indifferently.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Tantai Xue chuckled softly, a hint of amusement in her voice. "It may seem insignificant now,

but even a small spark can ignite a raging inferno. Underestimating your enemies is a dangerous game, especially in this battlefield."

She paused, her veiled gaze fixed on Nantian Fengyu. "Those who seek the power of the Divine Phoenix are not mere opportunists. They are guided by forces far older, far more powerful than you can imagine."

Nantian Fengyu's curiosity piqued. "What do you mean?"

Tantai Xue's voice dropped to a conspiratorial whisper. "The armies that roam this battlefield, the commanders who lead them... they are merely pawns in a grand game played by ancient beings, True Gods who have escaped the confines of the God Tomb."

Nantian Fengyu's eyes narrowed slightly. It was no wonder she hadn't heard any news about them; they had been hiding here all along.

"What do they want?" she asked, apprehension lacing her voice.

"They seek a chapter from the Tome of Chaos," Tantai Xue revealed, her voice grave. "It's the key to unlocking unimaginable power, a power that could grant them dominion over the heavens and the earth."

Nantian Fengyu frowned deeply. Yun Lintian had told her about the Tomb of Chaos before, but she hadn't believed it actually existed.

With a graceful wave of her hand, Tantai Xue flew away and disappeared from Nantian Fengyu's sight.

Nantian Fengyu stood there for a long time. "What kind of conspiracy are you brewing?" she muttered to herself before flying south.

Yun Lintian spent a few days in the city refining and selling pills. He had now accumulated more than four hundred thousand Spirit Beads, a huge sum in the Ancient Battlefield.

"This should be enough for now," Yun Lintian said as he looked at the Spirit Beads and recovery pills inside his interspatial ring. If he weren't so eager to find Nantian Fengyu and Linlin, he would have liked to stay longer.

"Are we leaving, Big Brother Yun?" Qingqing asked cutely as she gnawed on her meat bun.

"Yes," Yun Lintian said, glancing at the crowd on the street. "Looks like it won't be a peaceful departure."

Commander Zhao hadn't approached him personally during this period but had sent people to watch him. Yun Lintian hadn't bothered with them before, but it seemed they wouldn't let

him leave easily.

"Let me kick their butts!" Qingqing said with a fierce expression.

Yun Lintian was amused by her adorable appearance. He picked her up and said, "Let's go."

He left the inn and headed out of the city. The moment he walked through the city gate,

several people quickly surrounded him.

"Here we go again."
