Chapter 755: Chapter 555 He Has Already Found Me_3

"You need not be so formal."

Mount Yu Dragon Consort gave a faint smile and raised her cup in response, only to slowly put it down again, showing no intention to drink.

She did not like this ferocious tiger. Even though he was a powerful figure that she could not circumvent in her quest to control Western Hong, his malicious aura was too intense. He even lacked compassion for his own daughter, which breached the taboo of the Purple-Bearded White Dragon clan.

Moreover, it was clear that he had come with a purpose.

"..."

An Tingfeng acted as if he did not notice the Dragon Consort’s attitude. He gulped down the wine in his cup, then set the goblet down, retrieved a letter from his sleeve, and laid it on the table, saying straightforwardly, "Tingfeng wants to exchange this for a word from the Dragon Consort."

Zi Xian glanced briefly at the letter and soon shifted her gaze, "What word is that?"

Hearing this, An Tingfeng slowly stood up, his eyes becoming sharper, "The Dragon Consort should still remember the last incident. Tingfeng arranged for clan members to search in Western Hong for a long time, yet there has still been no news. That person seemed to appear suddenly and disappeared mysteriously, with no origin and no purpose, making it impossible for us to proceed."

"Do you want me to help you find him?" Zi Xian shifted her gaze back to the envelope, if that was the request, then perhaps it was something that could be negotiated.

However, An Tingfeng shook his head slowly, "That is not what Tingfeng means. I just realized that I always felt he had planned for a long time to easily break the magical formation I had set up. Therefore, I was considering which forces had previously come into contact with the formation or my clan members."

"But now, I think it’s clearer than engaging in such inefficient actions, it’s better to directly find those who bear grudges against my clan, regardless of their size, and look one by one."

Listening to this, Zi Xian couldn’t help but frown, "Have you gone mad?"

In the chaotic situation of Western Hong, where everyone has enemies, An Tingfeng’s intention seemed to be to provoke all his adversaries simultaneously?

"You need not worry about this, Dragon Consort."

An Tingfeng stepped into the middle of the main hall, bowed deeper, and said, "Tingfeng only asks for a word, about that young man who had a conflict with my clan member at your Lifespan Years celebration, exactly who is he?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Zi Xian’s expression subtly changed.

She looked down in silence.

Then, a chill spread across her lips.

This tiger, appearing utterly submissive and even unwilling to lift his head, but the sharpness in his whole body was uncontrollably emanating, rather aggressive.

"So all that you previously said was nonsense; you’re just directly suspecting my palace," Zi Xian said.

"Tingfeng wouldn’t dare."

An Tingfeng finally stood straight again, his expression as calm as death: "But I really can’t understand why, when you need to ally with me, you would watch my clan be humiliated, and even invited that person into your boudoir afterward."

"Tingfeng would not dare to disrespect the Dragon Consort, nor suspect the Dragon Palace."

"I only wish to exchange this letter for that person’s identity."

"..."

Listening to this unrippled statement, Zi Xian slowly raised her chin, her demeanor gradually changing, shedding the identity of the Western Palace Dragon Consort. Her true confidence stemmed from her strength, comparable to the Heaven Realm, and she was also the beloved daughter of the Eastern Dragon King, with a status equivalent to that of a Dragon Prince.

There was virtually no room for negotiation. Her lips parted slightly, and she said lightly, "No exchange."

An Tingfeng was expected to rage wildly as he had done on that day.

Yet, upon hearing this response, the fierce tiger suddenly smiled, nodding slightly, "Alright."

Seeing this, Zi Xian was slightly taken aback, her attitude softening a bit, she confidently said, "However, I can assure you that this matter has nothing to do with him."

Mere Shen, even with that Glazed Green Phoenix puppet, did not have the capability to break through the Great Tomb at Baoyue.

Moreover, considering the conflict at the Lifespan celebration, it was merely a verbal dispute. It was completely insufficient to provoke Shen to offend the fiercely protective South Hong Seven Sons under such tense circumstances.

"Whether it matters or not, Tingfeng will investigate on his own,"

"However, I would like to remind you that the matter of the South Hong Seven Sons seeking assistance here is no secret to us. The woman who had a conflict with our younger members at the previous birthday celebration is indeed related to the Daozi of the Blue Sea Sect. A little investigation would reveal this."

"Under these circumstances, that young Cultivator suddenly used an excuse to make a move, and now you are actually concealing his identity, even at the cost of sacrificing Tingfeng’s respect for you... It is widely known that you have a good relationship with the South Hong Seven Sons."

"Thank you, Dragon Consort, for reinforcing some of my suspicions,"

When not in a frenzied state, An Tingfeng was that ruthless clan leader who had reclaimed control of the entire Frost Tiger Clan by his own strength.

"Are you telling me all this to show off your intelligence or to flaunt your well-informed sources?" Zi Xian quietly looked down, her delicate, pale face showing no trace of emotion.

"No, what I mean to say is that I have already found him,"

An Tingfeng raised the corners of his lips earnestly, "As long as the Dragon Consort does not interfere with this matter, after it is over, considering the soul-renewing item you granted me in the past, the Frost Tiger Clan will still be the most loyal supporter of the Dragon Consort."

"This letter, given to me by your husband, I now pass to the Dragon Consort. It’s a small gesture; please don’t be polite."

After saying this, the Fierce Tiger slowly turned and walked toward the exit of the hall.

Today, he had only two goals from beginning to end: to confirm his suspicions once more and to signal to the Dragon Consort, nothing more.

Even before coming here, he had already arranged for his clansmen to watch the border between Southern Hong and Western Hong.

However, just as An Tingfeng was about to step out of the great hall, a vast and mighty force instantly enveloped him.

"What if I insist on intervening?"

Atop the throne in the great hall, Zi Xian slowly stood up.

In the face of absolute power, all schemes are meaningless, just like now, An Tingfeng’s life was in her hands, and naturally, she would decide the outcome of the situation.

"Tsk, tsk..."

An Tingfeng suddenly covered his face with his hand, emitting a low and manic laugh: "You don’t think that if I dared to come here, I would be afraid of death, do you?"

Zi Xian’s eyelids twitched; she could not understand what could drive this old tiger to risk his life and even bear the wrath of his entire clan, just to cause trouble for Shen Yi.

"Besides, the secret technique I learned previously not only allows me to gather my clansmen’s lifespan and bloodline for my own use... it works the other way around too."

As he spoke, An Tingfeng’s complexion rapidly turned ghastly pale, he turned his head back fiercely and glared at the woman sitting high above: "You can try to make a move; that way, the young man you want to protect can die under the hands of a Great Demon on par with the Heaven Realm, which would also be more dignified."

Clearly, he was using a secret technique to nourish another Frost Tiger.

"..."

Zi Xian suddenly reached out, her figure vanishing from the spot, her right arm transformed into a white Dragon Claw and fiercely clutched the old tiger’s neck, her voice cold: "I’ve said it, it has nothing to do with him, you madman."

She had once solemnly promised Jing Xi and now, how could she possibly tolerate the young Sect Master of the South Hong Seven Sons dying on her own territory?

But now, Zi Xian felt a sense of helplessness about where to proceed.

If she truly killed this old tiger, it would make the other side even more dangerous... but for Shen Yi, what difference was there between an Earth Realm Demon and a Heaven Realm Demon? They were both comparable to a Great Demon on par with Union Dao!

"Tsk, tsk, tsk."

An Tingfeng clearly could use the secret technique to consume other clan members’ energy to break into the Heaven Realm and thus escape the Dragon Claw’s clasp.

But he displayed no intention of resisting, just foolishly smiling, his voice full of resentment emerging between his sharp, ghastly white teeth.

"I also said, I have already found him!"
