Chapter 5053: Return to the Island Editor: Misty Cloud Translations The Old Predecessor of the Cheng family watched this scene unfold, his eyes narrowing sharply. His lips trembled slightly, yet not a single word escaped his mouth. The might of Phoenix Empress had only been heard of before, but witnessing it firsthand revealed that even a powerhouse of his caliber could not help but feel his heart tremble at the sight. Feng Jiu withdrew her hand, casting a cold glance at the corpse on the ground before turning her gaze to the Cheng family Old Predecessor. "Since you’re all here, we’ll be staying right here," she stated. "Yes, yes. I’ll show you all to the courtyard to rest," the Cheng family Old Predecessor hastily replied, snapping back to his senses. Daring not utter another word, he swiftly led them toward the rear courtyard. Originally planning to stay at an inn, Feng Jiu and her companions ended up lodging at the Cheng residence. This left the entire Cheng family on edge, tiptoeing around in fear of offending her with any misstep. The sole consolation for the Cheng family patriarch was that, aside from the family’s few supreme elders and his Old Predecessor, the rest of the household remained unaffected. This offered a glimmer of hope for the Cheng clan—at least, not all of them were weaklings. Over the course of three days, the family’s Old Predecessor surrendered all the estate’s wealth and resources to Feng Jiu. Of course, it was impossible to know if any of the younger generation or others had secretly kept something for themselves. Outsiders sought to uncover the identity of that woman in azure and the nature of the Cheng family’s transgression, but all such inquiries met with silence. Three days later, before Feng Jiu and the Cheng family’s principal elders, the old patriarch personally stripped himself of all cultivation. Carried away by his family, the group hastily departed the Cheng residence, leaving Longnan behind... Feng Jiu and her companions lingered at the Cheng residence for one more day. After selling the estate, they too departed. Those curious about her identity watched them leave but dared not follow or inquire further. They could only see them exit the city, their destination unknown... 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖 Half a month later, on the Immortal Isle, Yue’er, Muchen, and Hao’er played near the Rainbow Bridge. Yue’er’s laughter, like tinkling silver bells, frequently drifted on the breeze. "Big brothers, come chase me! Come catch me!" Yue’er ran with a radiant smile, her feet moving like the wind as she called back to the two brothers behind her. Hao’er and Muchen exchanged a glance, both wearing indulgent smiles. "Then you’d better be careful," they said, "lest we catch you and make you cry." " No sooner had the words left their mouths than two figures shot forward like the wind, chasing after their little sister in her skirt. "Hehe, you’ll never catch me!" Yue’er said with a smile. Seeing them chase after her, she immediately sped up to make them run after her. Her skills might not match theirs, but when it came to running away, the two of them might not be able to keep up with her. The three children played across the island while their contract beasts roamed freely. Especially Yue’er’s newly arrived Sacred Beast lion was filled with wonder and curiosity about this place. However, upon seeing the ancient Sacred Beasts and Super Sacred Beasts scattered everywhere across the island, it tucked its tail between its legs. It slunk over and sat quietly to one side, not daring to wander near those ancient Sacred Beasts and Super Sacred Beasts. Feng Jiu pored over books within the palace halls. She had already gained some insight into unlocking the barrier between the Upper Immortal Realm and the Lower Immortal Realm. Since returning two days prior, she had devoted herself entirely to this research.
