Chapter 1 — Phuong Khoi Cuu Trung

I am the emperor who is worshiped like a jewel of the Phuong clan. Only because my body was weak and I had to recuperate in the outside world, did my mother bring a concubine to my bedside, letting her be by my side to relieve me of my sorrows. Who would have thought that she would take the opportunity to impersonate me and take over my identity as the Emperor of the Phoenix Clan! Today is the coming-of-age ceremony of the Phoenix clan. From four seas and eight desolate places, nobles and powerful clans all gathered here to attend the banquet. Even the Dragon Clan Crown Prince Mac Uyen personally came, in front of all the guests, blatantly proposed to the Phoenix Clan Emperor. That mean girl - Phuong Chau - held Phuong Linh in her hand, gently and dignifiedly holding Mac Uyen's arm, her voice was as soft as silk, sweet and arrogant: "I, as the only emperor of the Phuong clan, will of course take on the heavy responsibility of intermarrying the two clans, keeping the destiny of heaven!" As soon as the words ended, the whole hall clapped loudly, many people congratulated the "golden bronze and pearl ladies" couple born in heaven. It's just a pity... the real emperor never collapsed. “Boom!” The golden palace door was kicked away by my kick, cracking like thunder. The cold wind swept past, the palm wind was like a sharp blade, hitting Phuong Chau's delicate cheek, causing her to take half a step back in panic. I stood in the doorway, dressed in red, my phoenix hairpin shaking, my eyes filled with cold ice and snow. My voice was like a sword cutting into the sky, each word pouring down into the main hall was as deep as thunder: "What a great voice!" Then step by step, he smiled coldly, his eyes swept over everything, each word was like a blade penetrating the main hall: "A shameless bastard... dares to impersonate the identity of this palace?!" 1 Phuong Chau was sent flying a few meters away by my swing, causing chaos, her jade hairpin was tilted, her figure fell down, she was struggling unbearably. I still felt that my anger was still not over, so I took two steps forward and gave her two more heavy slaps on her face, the sound was crisp and clear, like thunder in a clear sky. The whole main hall was as quiet as paper. Everyone's eyes were wide open, looking at me like I was a crazy person. No one could believe that someone would dare to attack the "Phoenix Clan" in the middle of the main hall like that. At the corner of the palace, my spirit pet - Snowflake, was busy playing with a few fairies. As soon as she saw Phuong Chau injured, she pounced, anger burning in her pale yellow eyes. I gently waved my hand, my magic power was activated, a stream of spiritual light pulled Snowflake back, my voice was cold as ice: "You beast! This palace is so busy cultivating that you neglect the guards, have you forgotten who your master is?" As soon as the scream ended, Snowflake immediately transformed into its true self - a rare millennial spirit fox, its fur as white as snow, its entire body emitting a radiant glow, its nine soft tails fluttering like silk in the wind. At this time, the whole main hall was nervous, everyone thought that Snowflake would rush up to fight against us for Phuong Chau. However - I only saw it retracting its neck and retracting its ears, its nine silky white tails gently brushing the back of my hand, lying close to the ground like an obedient spirit beast, its eyes sparkling as if it wanted to flatter. At that moment, the silence turned into pressure, sending chills down the spines of those present in the palace. Everyone understood clearly - only someone who possessed supreme bloodline and absolute divine power could make a nine-tailed fox willingly obey. Are not Someone dared to step forward to help Phuong Chau. Phuong Chau hugged her red, swollen cheeks, sparkling tears, tremblingly clutched Mac Uyen's sleeve, both ashamed and angry, raising her trembling but high-pitched voice: "Phuong Dao! You are just a wild fetus that the mother picked up! The mother and I were compassionate and kind, pitied you as a lonely and helpless person, took you by our side, protected and raised you... But now, while the mother is not here, you dare to falsely pretend to be my mother." me?!” She choked up, tears welling up in her eyes, pointing straight at Snowflake: "Even my spirit pet, since when have you been ravishing it with evil magic, forcing it to accept you as its master! Today is my coming of age ceremony, I don't want to prosecute, you get out of here right now!" As soon as the words ended, the whole arena was shocked, the sounds of discussion were like waves, and the faces of the audience were filled with many different expressions. At that moment, Thanh Am - princess of the Bang clan, Phuong Chau's close friend, immediately rushed up, her face red, pointed straight at me and shouted: "How about you, ungrateful and ungrateful thing! How dare a lowly wild species dare to be arrogant in the main hall of the Phuong clan?!" Next to her, Ngu Ly - the princess of the Kim Ly clan, her eyes streaked with anger, also took a step forward, her arms crossed over her chest, smiling coldly: "That's right! Sister Phuong Chau is not only the sole emperor of the Phuong clan, but also the future crown princess of the Dragon clan! You - a person without a mother and no one, with a lowly status, on what basis do you dare to dream of climbing high?!" Hearing that, I just laughed coldly, my long narrow eyes shining with cold light. One hand lifted slightly, spiritual energy swirled like ten thousand zhang waves: "Even a biting dog dares to bark in front of this palace... You guys, truly... don't know what death is." Whoosh! Whoosh! Two streams of wind palms, as sharp as blades, shone with cold light, and swung straight down. Just hearing two crisp "pop" sounds, Ngu Ly and Thanh Am were slapped in the face at the same time, their cheeks were immediately swollen and red like fire. Ngu Ly covered her cheeks, her eyes widened, her voice lost in disbelief: "You... you... you wild animal! You dare to hit me?!" Thanh Am also gritted her teeth and hissed angrily: "I... I am the eldest princess of the Kim Ly clan! What do you dare to touch me?! Wait, I will report to my father! He will definitely tear you into thousands of pieces!" I just glanced sideways, too lazy to waste my breath with those two people who considered themselves noble, the corners of my lips curled into a smile full of contempt: "A Bang clan, a Kim Ly clan... Are they still worthy of being arrogant in front of this palace?" I slowly raised my eyes, a light like electricity flashed in my pupils, my voice was as cold as ten thousand years of ice and snow: "One hundred thousand years ago, the father of this palace followed the footsteps of the Heavenly Emperor to pacify the Demon Region, using a body of phoenix blood to exchange for peace in the universe. At that time, your parents... still didn't know what they looked like!" As soon as the words fell, my momentum was like the roar of a mountain and the sea, sweeping across the main hall. Many people behind immediately trembled, everyone bowed their heads, not daring to breathe loudly. If it weren't for the fact that our Phuong clan has not divided blood levels for generations, and has not looked down on the lowly clans, then we would only be equal to these two weak families... not qualified to step foot into the main hall today, let alone stand in front of me and raise your voice! “You!” — Thanh Am's face turned red, anger rising. She used the magic to gather souls, her palms shone with dazzling light, and her spiritual energy swirled rushing, wanting to throw a blow straight at me. But at that exact moment, a low "grr..." sounded. Snowflake - my nine-tailed fox spirit - silver eyes flashed, sharp teeth exposed. With a flick of her tail, nine fox tails swept forward like nine strips of silver light. Just hearing a "swoosh" sound, Thanh Am was swept straight up by the fox's tail, his body rotated in mid-air, his magic power scattered, and his meridians immediately vibrated. “Bang!” She was thrown hard to the ground, blood flowed from the corner of her lips, her face was as white as paper. Phuong Chau and Ngu Ly cried out in unison, the hall echoed with angry screams: "You... are rude and impolite! You dare to injure the Bang clan princess, this is a great crime of treason! You... are too arrogant!" I stepped forward, evil spirits filled my eyes, flicked the dust of my shirt, my voice was as deep as wind and thunder: "Crazy?" I tilted my head slightly, smiling coldly like frost and snow: "This palace hasn't made a move yet, you guys already want to die first." 2 Phuong Chau was so angry that her throat was red and her eyes were like blades that wanted to tear me into pieces. She trembled and pointed straight at me, her voice as if suppressing fire: "You wild creature! Don't think that just because your mother will pity you a little, you can be so arrogant and lawless! This is my great coming-of-age ceremony! When the mother comes, I will definitely make her peel your skin off!" I slightly raised my eyebrows, the corner of my lips curled up in a half mocking tone, not bothering to respond. At this time, Ngu Ly stepped forward to help Thanh Am stand up, his eyes full of resentment, he turned his head and shouted at the group of guards in the palace: "What are you still standing there frozen for?! Why don't you quickly grab this wild animal and throw it out of the main hall!" She glared coldly, her voice hissing through her teeth: "Or do you want to watch him cause chaos during the emperor's coming-of-age ceremony? Until the Phuong Empress comes, all of you will not leave here alive!" Hearing that, the guards looked at each other bewilderedly, their eyes wavered, they hesitated for a long time before gritting their teeth and moving forward step by step. I coldly swept around, my eyes as sharp as a cold knife, my voice as deep as thunder exploding on the nine heavens: "Who dares to touch this palace?! This palace is the only emperor of the Phoenix clan, my father and I alone are the supreme bloodline!" I tilted my head slightly, the corner of my lips curled up in a contemptuous smile like the winter wind tearing through the snow: "Today, who doesn't want to live anymore... Just try taking one step forward!" As soon as the words fell, the air in the hall seemed to freeze, coldness quietly descended, each heavy breath seemed to press down on the core. At that moment — Whoosh! A wave of palm wind as sharp as a heavenly sword pierced the wind and rushed forward, overwhelmingly oppressive. I couldn't defend myself in time, my body shook, I was pushed back several steps in a row, my shoe heels lightly scratched the floor, making a shrill screeching sound. Standing opposite me, Dragon Clan Crown Prince Mac Uyen, his face was gloomy, his dark golden pupils contained anger like rolling flames. “Today is the happy day of my engagement with Chau Nhi!” — he shouted in a cold voice, his aura roaring like a fierce wave — "You... wild species! You dare to act strangely here?!" I burst out laughing, a cold laugh like ten thousand years of ice: "So it's you, Mac Uyen..." I took a step forward, my cold eyes sparkled with sarcasm: "Do you still remember the past, in the abyss outside Dan Huyet mountain? If this palace hadn't saved your life, I'm afraid your pair of dragon horns would have been broken by Black Giao at that time and used as sharpeners. fangs!” As soon as these words were spoken, the whole arena was silent, only the sound of soft breathing remained. A flash of shock flashed in Mac Uyen's pupils, but was then covered by anger.
