The Endless Promise

138. Timeless Circle

.

The next few weeks were sheer chaos...!

The first wind to blow was of course news that the magpies were under fire for false records, which led to endless fingers and wings pointing to the Feng family.

And the Sky Emperor's smile was wide when the Feng family were finally brought before him.

The Bird King and Queen were of course unable to provide suitable answers or proof of their innocence, so he imprisoned them with no hesitation, and what followed was a long list of crimes uncovered through the magpies.

It wasn't long before Feng Yuexia was under scrutiny, and the Millennia Peach was traced back to her!

"I'm to blame!" The Bird Queen quickly wailed. "I'll admit my daughter ate the Millennia Peach! But that does not mean she didn't give her essence to create a new one!"

It was only after she dared make such a shameless accusation, that Bailong brought Yan Liwei to Sky Palace.

The reaction was immediate!

The Sky Emperor and even Tianlong could admit that her aura was far from ordinary, and even when Lord Medicine and every single immortal under him examined Liwei, there was no single shred of Feng Yuexia's aura.

Which made no sense... If Yan Liwei indeed swallowed Feng Yuexia's cultivated peach, then at least a few traces of her qi and aura should be found within Liwei!

In the end, the Sky Emperor ordered a full investigation into the birth of Feng Yuexia and Yan Liwei and Sky Realm's biggest scandal came to light!

For more than ten thousand years, Sky Realm had followed the wrong phoenix, praising Feng Yuexia to the heavens, but now she was revealed to be a fake... the daughter of the true culprit who harmed the phoenix and stole her light.

Desperate, the Feng family pushed all the blame to the King and Queen, claiming they had nothing to do with it. The King and Queen indeed accepted the blame, but claimed Feng Yuexia had no hand in it.

The Feng family were pulled down from the throne, and Yan Liyun and Yao Lien became the Bird King and Queen.

As for Feng Yuexia, she cried her eyes out and prepared to leave Sky Palace.

But Tianlong, though a bit disappointed, held her hand.

"You stood beside me in my dark years, so why would I abandon you? You and I have been mates for years, and you're the only one in my heart... Only you will be my Empress...!"

.

Meanwhile, Yan Liwei had newfound popularity.

"Wah! No wonder she could take down Yin Xiaolong!"

"Haven't you heard? She defeated almost a hundred High Immortals!"

"So beautiful and talented!"

"And then she trapped the Fox Queen and Princess!"

This was true...

The Fox Queen and Princess had finally found Liwei, but Liwei knew she was no match for them! Thankfully, the remnants of that pink fox plant in her core alerted her to their approach, and she easily evaded.

But when she was tired of running, she had set up a trap, and using one Bailong's formations, she had locked them within a void space!

The two were bitter when Bailong finally released them, but with Liwei's confirmed identity, and a clear warning from the Sky Emperor, the pissed mother and daughter returned to the fox clan.
