Tantai Xue's voice turned serious. "The Ancient Battlefield is a place of endless strife and opportunism. News of your Divine Phoenix bloodline will spread like wildfire, attracting those who seek to exploit your power, to claim it for themselves."
She paused, her gaze piercing Nantian Fengyu's. "You should have killed that commander. Leaving him alive was a mistake. He will undoubtedly seek revenge, and he will not co alone."
Nantian Fengyu's expression hardened. She knew Tantai Xue was right.
"It doesn't matter." Nantian Fengyu said indifferently.
Tantai Xue chuckled softly, a hint of amusent in her voice. "It may seem insignificant now,
but even a small spark can ignite a raging inferno. Underestimating your enemies is a dangerous ga, especially in this battlefield."
She paused, her veiled gaze fixed on Nantian Fengyu. "Those who seek the power of the Divine Phoenix are not re opportunists. They are guided by forces far older, far more powerful than you can imagine."
Nantian Fengyu's curiosity piqued. "What do you an?"
Tantai Xue's voice dropped to a conspiratorial whisper. "The armies that roam this battlefield, the commanders who lead them... they are rely pawns in a grand ga played by ancient beings, True Gods who have escaped the confines of the God Tomb."
Nantian Fengyu's eyes narrowed slightly. It was no wonder she hadn't heard any news about them; they had been hiding here all along.
"What do they want?" she asked, apprehension lacing her voice.
"They seek a chapter from the To of Chaos," Tantai Xue revealed, her voice grave. "It's the key to unlocking unimaginable power, a power that could grant them dominion over the heavens and the earth."
Nantian Fengyu frowned deeply. Yun Lintian had told her about the Tomb of Chaos before, but she hadn't believed it actually existed.
Tantai Xue seed to see through her thought. She said. "The To of Chaos is indeed real. It is a relic from the dawn of creation, a testant to the Creator's boundless power."
She paused, her voice taking on a reverent tone. "Legend has it that the Creator, in their infinite wisdom, foresaw a potential threat to the universe, a force of utter destruction known as the Chasm of Uncreation. To counter this threat, the Creator forged the To of Chaos, imbuing it with a portion of their own power."
Nantian Fengyu furrowed her brow hard.
Tantai Xue continued, her voice weaving a tale of cosmic struggle and divine intervention. "The To of Chaos was entrusted to the Primordial Gods, the first beings to erge in the nascent universe. It was to be a weapon of last resort, a safeguard against the return of the Chasm of Uncreation, should it ever threaten to consu all of existence."
She gestured towards the desolate landscape surrounding them. "This Ancient Battlefield is not just a graveyard of fallen gods. It is a remnant of the Primordial Era, a testant to the battles fought against the Chasm of Uncreation's remnants. The very ground beneath our feet is soaked in the blood of gods and demons who sacrificed themselves to protect the universe."
Nantian Fengyu's gaze swept the desolate expanse, her perception shifting. She saw not just a wasteland, but a hallowed ground, a testant to a struggle of cosmic proportions.
Tantai Xue's voice lowered to a conspiratorial whisper. "The To of Chaos was shattered during the Primordial War, its chapters scattered across the universe. The ancient ones who have escaped the God Tomb believe a chapter lies hidden within this battlefield, waiting to be discovered."
She paused, her eyes locking with Nantian Fengyu's. "They seek to claim this power for themselves. Not to protect the universe, but to dominate it, to reshape it according to their own twisted desires."
Nantian Fengyu remained silent for a while and asked. "Why did you tell about this?"
Tantai Xue's veiled face remained serene, her voice calm and asured as she replied, "Because you are not just a descendant of the Divine Phoenix. You are a key player in this cosmic struggle, whether you realize it or not."
She paused, her gaze piercing Nantian Fengyu's. "Your bloodline holds imnse power, a power that the ancient ones seek to exploit. But it is also a power that can counter their destructive ambitions, a power that can protect the universe from their grasp."
Nantian Fengyu's expression turned solemn. She sensed there was more to this.
Tantai Xue continued, her voice laced with urgency. "The ancients are cunning and ruthless. They will stop at nothing to achieve their goals. They will manipulate, deceive, and destroy anyone who stands in their path."
She leaned closer, her voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper. "You are in danger. They will co for you, seeking to control your power, to bend it to their will." Nantian Fengyu remained silent, staring at Tantai Xue as if trying to see through her. Tantai Xue smiled, her eyes gleaming with a hidden triumph. "That's all I can say for now."
She paused, her gaze shifting southward. "But before I depart, I have so information that may interest you. I recently encountered a young woman with the aura of the White Tiger God. She was heading south, toward a region known as the Whispering Woods."
With a graceful wave of her hand, Tantai Xue flew away and disappeared from Nantian Fengyu's sight.
Nantian Fengyu stood there for a long ti. "What kind of conspiracy are you brewing?" she muttered to herself before flying south.

Yun Lintian spent a few days in the city refining and selling pills. He had now accumulated more than four hundred thousand Spirit Beads, a huge sum in the Ancient Battlefield.
"This should be enough for now," Yun Lintian said as he looked at the Spirit Beads and recovery pills inside his interspatial ring. If he weren't so eager to find Nantian Fengyu and Linlin, he would have liked to stay longer.
"Are we leaving, Big Brother Yun?" Qingqing asked cutely as she gnawed on her at bun.
"Yes," Yun Lintian said, glancing at the crowd on the street. "Looks like it won't be a peaceful departure."
Commander Zhao hadn't approached him personally during this period but had sent people to watch him. Yun Lintian hadn't bothered with them before, but it seed they wouldn't let
him leave easily.
"Let kick their butts!" Qingqing said with a fierce expression.
Yun Lintian was amused by her adorable appearance. He picked her up and said, "Let's go."
He left the inn and headed out of the city. The mont he walked through the city gate,
several people quickly surrounded him.
"Here we go again."
