Chapter 3789: 4.1389 Appearance of the Phoenix Clan

Just as he was about to speak, his expression suddenly changed. He swiftly moved next to the little girl, abruptly pulling her aside, dodging a spear that came whistling through the air.

With a sharp "clang," the spearhead, carrying a gust of wind, forcefully pierced a large tree behind them, directly smashing the upper half of the massive tree, causing it to collapse.

Half the tree fell to the ground with a rumble. Fengchen's eyes deepened, his gaze sharply darting towards the side of the forest.

From there, numerous men and women in white robes suddenly appeared. Each held either a bow and arrow or a spear. Over a hundred people swarmed out at once, completely surrounding the group.

These people appeared out of thin air, so abruptly that Fengchen, Little Taisui, and the others were momentarily stunned.

Fengchen's gaze swept over them, a faint hint of surprise appearing in his eyes.

The hundred-odd people standing before them were all remarkably Divine Realm Level 6 cultivators or higher.

Even in Divine Province, Divine Realm Level 6 and above cultivators were considered upper-middle-tier powerhouses, and for over a hundred of them to inexplicably appear at once was truly rare.

The crowd parted, and a tall, handsome man, accompanied by two beautiful women in white, slowly walked towards Qiao Mu and the others.

"Guests from afar, please put away your weapons," the man said calmly. The white-robed men and women, who had been glaring at them menacingly, all uprighted their bows and arrows and spears, no longer aiming at Qiao Mu and the others.

"Esteemed guests," the man's gaze paused slightly on the little stone-faced girl's expressionless face, then swept over Little Taisui, Dao Wuji, and Fengchen.

"Chirp, chirp, chirp!" The little white squirrel lightly jumped twice on Qiao Mu's shoulder, raising its paw and letting out a defiant roar.

Unfortunately, such a foolishly cute little creature like it could not possess any lethal power.

Even more amusingly, it was better off not speaking. The moment it opened its mouth, the gaze of the white-robed maidens in the field fell upon it. Their eyes seemed to light up with little heart-shaped stars, all showing adoration for Classmate Chirp Chirp.

"Oh, what a cute little animal."

"Is it a little squirrel?"

"I really want to hug it."

Several white-robed maidens instinctively took a few steps forward but were stopped by the two women accompanying the white-robed man.

The tall, handsome man in white robes smiled at the stone-faced group. "I am Feng Changqing, the current Clan Leader of the Phoenix Clan."

The little stone-faced girl looked at him expressionlessly.

If not for the occasional gentle twitch of the little girl's eyelashes, Feng Changqing would truly believe that this person was merely an ice sculpture...

Classmate Fengchen coughed lightly.

He had heard a little about the Phoenix Clan. Centuries ago, Fengchen's ancestors were actually a collateral branch that had originated from the Phoenix Clan.

After centuries of changes, their clan's bloodline had become increasingly distant from the Phoenix Clan.

Therefore, Fengchen had no intention of telling these people that they might have been one family centuries ago.

Seeing the little stone-faced girl with her cold expression, silent for a long while, he had no choice but to speak up. "What can we do for you?"

"Our Poison Flower King, which we set at the entrance to guard against enemies, was taken by one of you. May I ask who it was?" Feng Changqing's voice was deep and melodious.
