Chapter 299 - Who Else Would Know~

On the other side.

The cold wind howled. Under the vast blizzard, two divine rainbows shot across the sky.

Lanling Tianxuan was already using his full strength, desperately luring Fengxiao towards the location where he had previously laid a celestial array.

Behind him, Fengxiao drew closer and closer, gradually catching up.

"Human! Die!"

Fengxiao waved her arm, and in an instant, countless massive, sharp icicles condensed between heaven and earth and assailed Lanling Tianxuan.

Seeing this, Lanling Tianxuan turned and flew backward, throwing dozens of magic beads from his immortal ring.

The magic beads collided with the icicles, instantly setting off a series of violent explosions!

The power of the explosions was earth-shattering; even the several snowy peaks below were shattered!

A thick snow mist rolled up within the already hazy blizzard.

Lanling Tianxuan took the opportunity to accelerate again and escape.

"Tsk!"

Fengxiao clicked her tongue with disdain. With a wave of her arm, a fierce wind howled, directly dispersing all of the thick snow mist before her.

"Trying to run! It won't be that easy!"

Fengxiao took a step into the void, her figure once again shooting out like lightning.

Sharp ice blades, slashed out with a casual wave of her hand, once again cut towards Lanling Tianxuan from behind.

If she let him run away, the lord would definitely not spare her…!

Thinking of the terrifying consequences, Fengxiao held back almost nothing. She formed a seal with her hands, and a tens-of-zhang-tall ice crystal phoenix condensed before her!

The ice phoenix flapped its wings, its body contracting, and like a massive ice sword, it shot straight towards Lanling Tianxuan!

"Heavenly Dipper Armor!"

Lanling Tianxuan sensed the danger behind him, turned around again, and summoned a golden suit of armor to block his path.

The sharp ice blades cut through the void and slashed directly onto the golden armor.

The ice blades did not cause any damage, and the golden armor was completely unharmed, but the ice phoenix sword had already arrived!

The massive ice crystal phoenix blade pressed against the golden armor, and in an instant, cracks appeared on it!

Lanling Tianxuan was pushed straight down from mid-air by the ice sword and smashed into a towering iceberg with a roar!

The golden armor blocking his path also could no longer withstand the force at this moment and shattered!

The phoenix blade grazed Lanling Tianxuan’s shoulder, tearing open a bloody wound!

Although he was already injured, a triumphant smile appeared on Lanling Tianxuan’s face. Looking at Fengxiao standing tall in mid-air before him, he shouted:

"Luo Shen Empress! Activate the array!"

Luo Ruying, who had long been hiding in the shadows, heard Lanling Tianxuan’s signal, immediately formed a hand seal, and circulated her spiritual energy to activate the celestial array that Lanling Tianxuan had arranged here in advance!

"Eight Banners Heaven-Burning Celestial Array!"

Under Luo Ruying’s activation, the eight banner poles buried in the deep snow burst forth, floated in mid-air, and ignited with raging flames, connecting to form a massive, fiery, heaven-burning celestial array!

Each banner was painted with a fire dragon, and the poles themselves looked as if a divine dragon were coiled around them.

Under Luo Ruying’s control, the fire dragons on the eight banners seemed to come alive, leaping forth and circling around the Frigid Heaven Ice Phoenix!

Trapping her in the center of the celestial array!

Seeing Fengxiao successfully lured into the celestial array and trapped, Lanling Tianxuan’s face revealed wild joy.

Success!

He hadn't expected it to succeed so easily!

Their side should have also successfully obtained that Spirit-Calling Celestial Ganoderma by now…

There was no need for him to continue to be entangled with this Frigid Heaven Ice Phoenix here!

"Clan Head Lanling, this celestial array's consumption is too great. I'm afraid I cannot hold on for much longer."

"It still requires you to personally preside over the array!"

Luo Ruying, sensing her spiritual energy draining too quickly, hurriedly said to Lanling Tianxuan.

With her Immortal King realm cultivation, maintaining such a massive celestial array was too strenuous; she couldn't maintain it for long at all.

If it were just to temporarily activate the array, it would have been fine, but to be responsible for controlling the array to trap the Frigid Heaven Ice Phoenix, it still required the Immortal Emperor cultivation of Lanling Tianxuan to preside over it.

They had agreed earlier that after he lured the Frigid Heaven Ice Phoenix over, she would only be responsible for activating the celestial array in time.

Now, she just needed to hand over the position of presiding over the array to Lanling Tianxuan.

However, Lanling Tianxuan slowly flew into the sky above Luo Ruying and gazed at her with a sneer, having no intention of taking over the celestial array.

"Luo Shen Empress, I'm afraid you will have to continue to preside over this celestial array~"

"This humble one must bid you farewell first~"

"Oh, right, don't say this humble one didn't remind you."

"If you were to release the celestial array at this moment, this Frigid Heaven Ice Phoenix could annihilate you in an instant~"

"So for your own safety, you must work hard to continue trapping this beast~ Hahaha~"

"You…! You schemed against me!"

"Are you not afraid that my husband will not spare your Lanling Clan!"

Luo Ruying gazed at Lanling Tianxuan, her lovely face filled with rage.

Only at this moment did she understand what was happening.

Lanling Tianxuan had never intended to cooperate with her sincerely; he just wanted to use her to trap the Frigid Heaven Ice Phoenix!

And now, presiding over the celestial array, she was completely unable to escape.

Once no one was maintaining the array, the Frigid Heaven Ice Phoenix would break out in an instant, and with her cultivation, it would be impossible to escape!

"Afraid? Of course, I'm afraid~"

"Your husband is the Demon Lord, famous throughout the Six Realms. How could my Lanling Clan not be afraid."

"However, Luo Shen Empress, we are in the Immortal Realm Trials right now!"

"Who else would know~"

"Good luck to you, Luo Shen Empress~"

Lanling Tianxuan smiled confidently and, without further hesitation, immediately turned and transformed into a divine rainbow, flying away.

Luo Ruying gritted her silver teeth, only able to watch Lanling Tianxuan depart, her heart filled with unwillingness.

She had been too careless.

She had originally thought that now that everyone in the Heavenly Realm knew her husband was the Demon Lord, no one would dare to proactively provoke her.

But in the face of profit, she had still underestimated the greed of others…

And what's more, they were in the Immortal Realm Trials. Even if she were to perish here, no one would ever know…

Feeling the spiritual energy rapidly draining from her body, Luo Ruying hurriedly consumed a few more spiritual energy recovery pills and tried her best to think of a way to escape from the Frigid Heaven Ice Phoenix.

However, no matter how she racked her brains, she felt it was impossible to escape from an Immortal Emperor realm Frigid Heaven Ice Phoenix…!

"With just this broken array, you think you can trap me!"

"In your dreams!"

Fengxiao, in the center of the Eight Banners Heaven-Burning Celestial Array, saw Lanling Tianxuan gradually recede into the distance. She no longer held back her strength. Her body instantly condensed with frost, her arms transformed into wings, and her body's surface gradually sprouted ice-blue feathers as she transformed into her true form—a giant Frigid Heaven Ice Phoenix!

With a loud phoenix cry, Fengxiao flapped her wings, and in an instant, a thousand li were frozen over!

The fire dragons coiling within the Eight Banners Heaven-Burning Celestial Array were instantly turned into lifelike ice sculptures!

The celestial array was instantly broken, and Luo Ruying hurriedly deployed her spiritual energy to block in front of her.

The terrifying cold qi almost made her think she was going to die here.

However, strangely, the freezing cold qi happened to bypass her, and the sharp hurricane did not graze her in the slightest.

Everything around her, except for her, was frozen by the cold qi…

When Luo Ruying focused her eyes, she then discovered that Fengxiao was blocking her path, protecting her with her wings…

Strange, this Frigid Heaven Ice Phoenix is actually protecting her…?

Luo Ruying’s expression was full of confusion and bewilderment.

She had just activated the celestial array to trap her.

This woman must be the one the lord was talking about…

Thank goodness she wasn't injured…

That scared her to death…

After carefully gazing at Luo Ruying for a moment and confirming she was unharmed and hadn't even lost a single hair, Fengxiao finally flapped her wings with a sense of relief, shot straight into the sky, and chased after Lanling Tianxuan!

Leaving only Luo Ruying standing on the spot in a daze, at a loss…

"Right! The Spirit-Calling Celestial Ganoderma!"

Taking advantage of the Frigid Heaven Ice Phoenix chasing after Lanling Tianxuan, Luo Ruying then remembered the Spirit-Calling Celestial Ganoderma.

She absolutely could not let the others from the Lanling Clan get their hands on it!
