Chapter 378: Proudness
No one on the pavilion took another glance at Di Falang and the other Di Family elders, who had
just embarrassedly transformed into blood-red mist streams and dissipated.
Just like what Si Wen Ming did, all the other ministers and elders on the side of the humankind
solemnly showed their respect to Feng Qi, while silently wondering what this phoenix suddenly
showed up for. All of them had quickly and carefully searched through their minds but failed to
find any big issue that was related to the phoenix-kind.
Feng Qi floated up into the air, trod on a multicolored, glowing cloud, then threw a glance down
on these human ministers and elders in pride, not showing any sign of landing on the ground.
The phoenix-kind was the most proud race in this world, they wouldn’t want to be
contaminated by even a single grain of ash or dirt.
“Nothing serious, just want to ask you for a thing.” Feng Qi proudly held her head high while
speaking in a cold and bland voice.
Before Si Wen Ming responded, she raised her hand, pointed her finger at Ji Hao and continued,
“Little kid, just hand that purple grain dragon sandalwood over.”
Ji Hao couldn’t even believe what he had just heard. Feng Qi broke into the main pavilion of the
alliance of human clans’ base camp, where the headquarters of the human army was located,
when a secret meeting was happening, and broke over a thousand defensive magic screens set
by Magi Palace’s magi in a row, in such an aggressive manner, even using a secret, legendary
treasure which was amazingly powerful; she had also scared Di Falang and the other Di Family’
elders off, but she did all these just for this?!
“This…” Ji Hao didn’t know how to respond.
Clap! An exquisitely crafted, translucent leather bag was thrown on the ground right in front of
Ji Hao by Feng Qi in a careless manner. The leather bag was filled with glowing jade coins. Feng
Qi’s head was still held high when she pointing at Ji Hao with her chin, sneered and said, “Here
are a hundred-thousand jade coins, just take the money call that purple grain dragon
sandalwood in. From now on, he is a slave of our phoenix-kind.”
The faces of Si Wen Ming, Huaxu Lie and the other ministers and elders all darkened to a
certain degree.
Feng Qi had directly broken into the headquarters pavilion of the human army, violently broke
the defensive magic screens set in this pavilion, in where, a highly classified meeting was
happening; if going deeper, Feng Qi was on a serious suspicion of spying on the humankind
military situation.
Once after Ji Hao let out the few words, Si Wen Ming, Huaxu Lie and other ministers and elders
all silently sighed in their heads. Ji Hao’s tone was filled with scornfulness and taunt; even they
had sensed that obvious scorn and taunt contained in Ji Hao’s words, not to mention Feng Qi.
After all, the phoenix-kind were naturally sensitive.
As they estimated, Feng Qi’s face suddenly darkened, while she lowered her head and directly
launched a palm attack towards Ji Hao’s chest without saying anything.
Feng Qi was wearing a pair of nearly transparent, dim golden glove, which was as thin as a
cicada’s wings. Ji Hao didn’t know what this pair of gloves was made from, but when Feng Qi
launched that seemingly gentle and slight palm attack, a dazzling beam of golden light
suddenly flashed across the air and countless spell symbols on her glove blasted out. Next, an
enormous, golden and shining palm, which was three-foot wide, silently swooshed straight
towards Ji Hao’s chest.
Airwaves surged in the pavilion. Once that golden palm appeared, a strong and fierce pressure
instantly spread out towards all directions. Clothes of all people in the pavilion were raised,
rustling in the air while their long hair fluttered intensely like crazy snakes.
“Dear ambassador!” Once after Ji Hao made a defensive gesture, Hao Tao abruptly raised his
arm and reached his hand to in front of Ji Hao. His square, brick-like hand shielded Ji Hao
behind and blocked that golden palm, after which, he gripped his five fingers, that looked like
iron stakes. Along with a long and loud series of cracking noise, that golden palm, which was
actually an image condensed from gold power but looked almost like a touchable real object,
was directly crumbled into pieces by Hao Tao’s single hand; thousands of golden pieces then
fell to the ground.
A wave of silvery clang rose against the ground. Those pieces of that golden palm clanged
against each other while falling to the ground; after quite a while, those pieces slowly
disintegrated into a great puff of golden light spots and finally dissipated in the air.
“How dare you!” Feng Qi angrily pointed her finger at Hao Tao and yelled harshly, “Who are
you?!”
“I am Hao Tao!” Hao Tao put his hands back into his sleeves and responded blandly, “I’m in
charge of the penalty. Ji Hao is a warrior of our human army… if he did something wrong, I will
The Emperor Shun was the current human emperor; if he truly sent an official message to
request a reasonable explanation for what Feng Qi did today in the headquarters pavilion of the
human army, things would become troublesome. Feng Qi was only an elder of the phoenixkind,
who ran certain affairs in the Chi Ban Market. She indeed had some powers and possessed
a relatively high status among the phoenix-kind, but she was not a truly big deal who was
holding the real power.
An interrogation came from the human emperor would be quite serious to her. Feng Qi silently
estimated the consequences, and found that she couldn’t easily cope with it.
Her great arrogance had eased quite a lot. She trod on that multicolored cloud and descended
from above the long meeting table, floating in the air a few feet above the ground, then blandly
said to Hao Tao, “I came here surely for some big and important matter.”
Hao Tao didn’t prepare to end this conversation so easily, as he said, “For a purple grain dragon
sandalwood? You, dear ambassador, broke into our headquarters pavilion by using a powerful
treasure only for a tree?”
Feng Qi turned her head away, seeming unwilling to make any more eye contact with Hao Tao,
then said a bit nervously, “A purple grain dragon sandalwood, isn’t this an important matter?!
Do you have any idea how valuable a purple grain dragon sandalwood can be to our phoenixkind?
Your humankind has taken a purple grain dragon sandalwood into your Magi Palace, why
didn’t you report to us regarding this?!”
