Chapter 290: Ice Phoenix True Feather, Any Last Words?

Outside the sleeping quarters.

"The Jiang Family…"

Zhou Chen stood in the courtyard, looking up at the sky, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

Originally, his grudge with Jiang Mengyao was just a matter of slapping her face at the Heavenly Pride Grand Assembly.

As for the previous vendetta of them hunting him down, he hadn't planned on taking immediate revenge.

After all, a gentleman's revenge is never too late even after ten years. He planned to develop low-key for a few years and then wipe them out in minutes later on.

But now, the Jiang Family had actively come to his doorstep and beaten Star Child into such a state, which had completely crossed the red line in Zhou Chen's heart.

"Since you're looking for death, don't blame me."

Zhou Chen opened the System panel to check Jiang Mengyao's Opportunity information.

[Name: Jiang Mengyao]

[Realm: First Layer of Emperor Realm]

[Fate: Favored Daughter of Heaven (Purple), Ice Phoenix Physique (Purple)]

[Destiny: Direct descendant of the Jiang Family, outstanding talent, a smooth sailing life, ultimately stopping at the Emperor Realm Sixth Layer.]

[Recent Opportunity: Three days later, in the Jiang Family Ancestral Land's Flame Phoenix Secret Realm, she will obtain the Imperial Rank Top-Grade Ice Phoenix True Feather. Her Ice Phoenix Bloodline will awaken, and her strength will greatly increase.]

"Ice Phoenix True Feather?" A cold smile curled at the corner of Zhou Chen's mouth.

It seemed that Jiang Mengyao's return to her clan this time was not just to complain, but also to prepare to go to the Ancestral Land to obtain an Opportunity.

"Then I'll collect some interest first."

Zhou Chen did not hesitate and immediately set off for the Jiang Family.

The Jiang Family was located in the central part of the Eastern Desolation, occupying a mountain range that stretched for millions of miles.

The entire mountain range was covered by Formations set up by the Jiang Family, making it impossible for outsiders to approach.

Zhou Chen stood outside the mountain range, his Divine Sense sweeping across.

The Formation was very strong, at least an Imperial Rank High Grade Mountain-Protecting Grand Formation. Trying to break it by force would likely alert them.

"Forget it, I won't go through the main gate."

Zhou Chen performed the Divine Concealment Art, and his entire presence instantly vanished.

He circled to the side of the mountain range, found a weak point in the Formation, and with the help of Xiao Hong's Formation-breaking talent, he successfully sneaked in silently.

The Jiang Family Ancestral Land was located deep in the mountain range, where there was a huge volcano. The scale of this single volcano alone was thousands of miles wide.

The volcano erupted year-round, with rolling lava and terrifyingly high temperatures.

But for the Jiang Family members, this was a Holy Land for Cultivation.

Legend has it that beneath the volcano, the remnant soul of an Ancient Phoenix is sealed.

Although it was just a remnant soul, it still emitted a terrifying pressure, and the entire volcano was enveloped by the power of the Law of Fire.

The Jiang Family members Cultivate the Flame Phoenix Bloodline by borrowing this power of the Law of Fire.

Zhou Chen sneaked near the volcano and found a hidden spot to hide.

According to the System prompt, Jiang Mengyao would enter the Flame Phoenix Secret Realm in three days.

That would be the time for him to strike.

—

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

At the foot of the volcano, Jiang Mengyao was dressed in a fiery red gown, followed by several Jiang Family Elders.

"Mengyao, when you enter the Secret Realm this time, you must go all out to absorb the power of the Ice Phoenix True Feather."

An old man urged, "As long as your Ice Phoenix Bloodline awakens, your strength will increase by at least double!"

"Yes, Fifth Elder." Jiang Mengyao nodded respectfully.

"You don't need to take that Feng Biao matter to heart either."

Another Elder sneered, "A mere Heavenly Star Holy Land is nothing but chickens and dogs. This time, the Eighty-Eighth Ancestor has already gone to teach them a lesson, ensuring they stay obedient."

"Thank you, Old Ancestor, for venting my anger for me." Jiang Mengyao smiled, a hint of smugness flashing in her eyes.

She knew that as long as she went back to the clan and cried, the Family would definitely stand up for her.

What was the Heavenly Star Holy Land? Since they dared to make her lose face, they had to pay the price!

However, what she didn't expect was that she only wanted the Old Ancestor to teach Feng Biao a lesson, but the Old Ancestor had actually directly heavily injured the Saint Lord of the Heavenly Star Holy Land.

This made her feel a bit uneasy, but in front of the Fifth Elder, she absolutely could not show it.

"Alright, go in."

The Elder waved his hand and opened the entrance to the Flame Phoenix Secret Realm.

A fiery red light gate unfolded in the Void Realm, emitting a scorching aura.

Jiang Mengyao took a deep breath and stepped into the light gate.

Afterward, this Elder left, leaving only an ordinary Disciple to stand guard.

This gate would not close until the Secret Realm ended.

At the moment she entered the Secret Realm, Zhou Chen also moved.

He performed the Divine Concealment Art and silently followed behind Jiang Mengyao, entering the Flame Phoenix Secret Realm entrance together.

Inside the Secret Realm, lava and flames were everywhere, and the air was constantly distorted.

Jiang Mengyao circulated her Cultivation Technique, and a thin protective shield appeared on her body's surface, isolating the terrifying high temperatures.

She followed the route passed down by her Family, going deep into the core of the Secret Realm.

After walking for about fifteen minutes, a huge ice coffin appeared before her eyes.

In the center of the ice coffin, a pure white ice feather floated.

The feather emitted a silver-white light, and its terrifying aura felt as if an ancient Ice Phoenix had reappeared.

"Ice Phoenix True Feather!"

Jiang Mengyao showed a look of pleasant surprise.

Just as she was about to grab the Ice Phoenix True Feather, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her.

"Who?!"

Jiang Mengyao was greatly shocked and immediately retreated.

The newcomer was none other than Zhou Chen.

At this time, he was still using Feng Biao's identity.

"It's you?!"

Jiang Mengyao saw Zhou Chen's appearance clearly, her pupils shrinking: "Feng Biao, this is the Jiang Family Ancestral Land! How can you be here?!"

"To collect some interest."

Zhou Chen said indifferently, reaching out to grab the Ice Phoenix True Feather.

"Don't even think about it!"

Imperial Rank Low Grade — Profound Form Ice Palm.

Jiang Mengyao shouted angrily and struck out an ice-flame palm print.

But Zhou Chen didn't even look; with a casual wave, the palm print was slapped away.

"An ant at the First Layer of Emperor Realm dares to strike before me?"

Zhou Chen sneered and grabbed the Ice Phoenix True Feather.

[Congratulations to the Host for intercepting the Imperial Rank Top-Grade Ice Phoenix True Feather from the Favored Daughter of Heaven Jiang Mengyao, triggering a Ten-Thousand-Fold Return! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the Immortal Rank Low Grade Nirvana Phoenix Feather!]

As soon as the Nirvana Phoenix Feather was in his hand, Zhou Chen felt a terrifying fire power surging in his palm.

This was no ordinary fire, but Phoenix True Fire containing the power of Nirvana Rebirth.

An Immortal Rank Low Grade treasure was countless times stronger than an Imperial Rank one.

"Feng Biao, you are just a small Saint of the Heavenly Star Holy Land… How dare you snatch my Jiang Family's things?!"

Jiang Mengyao's face was ashen, her voice trembling.

This was the key to her Bloodline Awakening. If it was snatched away in the Ancestral Land, how could she explain it to her Family?

"Snatching your Jiang Family's things? So what? Does it have the Jiang Family's name written on it?"

Zhou Chen turned to look at her, his eyes cold: "If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being blind and provoking someone you shouldn't have. Repent in your next life."

Jiang Mengyao was stunned.

She indeed had the Eighty-Eighth Ancestor go to teach the Heavenly Star Holy Land a lesson, but that was because Feng Biao had made her lose face at the assembly. How could the tiny Heavenly Star Holy Land be someone she couldn't provoke? Jiang Mengyao couldn't understand.

"No, you're not Feng Biao! Who exactly are you?!"

Jiang Mengyao stared fixedly at Zhou Chen.

"Who I am is not important."

Zhou Chen put away the Nirvana Phoenix Feather: "Any last words?"

"Arrogant!"

Jiang Mengyao laughed out of extreme anger: "You think if you kill me, you can get away scot-free? This is the Jiang Family Ancestral Land. As long as I shout, Elders will arrive immediately!"

"Then shout."

Zhou Chen spread his hands.
