"Where's the rainbow flower, mom? Why isn't the flower here?" Su Fei asked.
Feng Xian'er shook her head. "I sensed someone else's qi residue from this place; it seems that person is one step faster than us to pick the rainbow flower."
After saying that, Feng Ruxue immediately spread her senses throughout the forest, but her efforts were unsuccessful because the crow woman had already left the place, and she also erased any traces of her qi.
"I can't feel any trace of that person's qi, Madam Feng." Bing Xue said after she also used her senses to track down the crow woman.
Lian Bing also said. "I am the same as you, master."
"Sigh, it seems that the person who preceded us was not an ordinary person, and judging from the qi residue in this place, that person is definitely not human." Bing Xue and the others turned to her, and Feng Ruxue continued. "If my guess is correct, that person is a beast that turned into a human, but I can't tell what kind of beast that person is."
Although the qi of humans and beasts was not too different, as a fire phoenix, Feng Ruxue could tell the difference between them. That's why she was sure the person who picked the rainbow flower was a beast, and her guess was correct.
"I see." Bing Xue and Lian Bing nodded in understanding; they knew that beasts could turn into humans, but they still didn't know that Feng Ruxue herself was a fire phoenix; not even anyone in the cultivator realm knew about it except for her clan members.
Ling Ling then asked. "Then what are we going to do now? Are we going back right away?"
Feng Ruxue, Bing Huang, and Lian Bing exchanged glances for a moment, and then they shook their heads at her.
*Swoosh... Swoosh...*
Before Ling Ling could ask any more questions, several other cultivators had already arrived on the scene. The three women from the Hundred Flower Sect were the first to come, and they immediately frowned at not finding the Rainbow Flower in that place.
'What should we do now, sect master?' The woman called Fei Xue asked Lu Wan'er, and Leng Yue also looked at her, waiting for her answer.
Liu Wan'er glanced at Feng Ruxue and the others briefly, but she immediately sighed and said to her two comrades. 'Since those three women are here, we can't do anything else for now. And it would be better if we left this place immediately, or they will gang up on us later.'
Leng Yue and Fei Xue nodded in agreement with him, and the three of them immediately broke their returning jades.
"It seems they are afraid of us, Madam Feng." Bing Xue said with a chuckle after they disappeared.
Feng Ruxue nodded at her. "They even returned to their sect using the returning jade; that way, we can't trace their sect's location."
"Those evil women always act very carefully." Lian Bing joined in. "Many cultivators have attempted to locate their sect, but their efforts have never been successful, and no one has known the location of their sect until now."
Suddenly, they heard a man speaking. "Oh? Ruxue? Even though we left earlier than you, you arrived at this place earlier than us."
"I didn't expect you to be here too, Long Wei." Feng Ruxue casually said. "Unfortunately, we arrived late; someone had already picked the rainbow flower before us."
"Hmm?" Long Wei and company frowned as they looked at where the rainbow flower was before.
Long Wei and the others immediately spread their senses, and they only found traces of qi where they were, but they couldn't find traces of the same qi from any other direction.
Lei Yuntian then asked. "Do you know the identity of that person, Madam Feng?"
"No." Feng Ruxue shook her head. "That person was already gone when we got here, and that person has also erased any traces of qi, but I can tell you that the person who plucked it was a beast."
They raised their eyebrows upon hearing that, and almost all of them did not doubt Feng Ruxue's words except for the two people from the Shui Clan.
Long Wei sighed heavily. "It seems our efforts this time were in vain, and we must wait another hundred years to get the rainbow flower."
'Tch! This woman must have gotten the flower.' Shui Yang muttered in his heart, but he suddenly frowned after listening to the voice transmission he received and immediately informed his father. 'Father! Shui Xiang is dead, and Feng Ruxue killed him.'
'Hmm?' Shui Hao's expression became shocked after he heard that. 'Is it true? But how can she find him?'
Shui Yang shook his head. 'I don't know, but Shui Yin just informed me.'
'Shui Yin?'
'Yes!' Shui Yang then explained it to him. 'Before we left for this place, I ordered her to monitor Shui Xiang, and I ordered her to save him if anyone finds him. But unexpectedly, Feng Ruxue found him, and Shui Yin didn't have time to save her because her attack was too fast.'
Shui Hao's face darkened upon hearing that, and he glanced at Feng Ruxue. 'This damn woman! She always hides her true strength, and no one knows the depth of her strength.'
'What are we going to do now, father?'
'Since Bing Xue and Lian Bing are also in this place, we should leave immediately.'
Shui Yang agreed with his father's decision, but when they were about to take their returning jade, Feng Ruxue had already released her aura, and she immediately pressed them to the ground.
"Gah!" The Shui father and son instantly fell to the ground, unable to move, startling Long Wei and the others.
Before they could ask her, Feng Ruxue had already spoken to them. "I request that you guys stay out of our affairs, or you will all become enemies of my Feng Clan."
Hearing her threat, Long Wei and the others didn't dare ask her anything, especially since Feng Clan controlled the pill market in the Cultivator Realm, and they needed their pills for their clan members. If they were to become enemies with the Feng Clan, it would be detrimental to their clan.
Long Wei sighed softly. "All right, since the rainbow flower has been taken by someone else, then we will leave this place right now."
Lei Yuntian and the others agreed with him and did not wish to have trouble with Feng Ruxue and the Feng Clan.
"Hey, Qiu'er! You should return to our clan."
"No!" Long Qiu rejected her father outright. "I will come back if I want to come back. Moreover, I have a disciple now, so I will focus on training him first."
"Oh?" Long Wei was surprised to hear that. "Why did you suddenly take a disciple?"
'Hehe! He has a physique like mine, so I took him as my disciple.' Long Qiu answered her father via voice transmission, she didn't want people to find out about Zhang Bing's physique, or it would harm him.
"I see." Long Wei then turned to the other people. "Let's leave this place and let Ruxue sort things out with them by herself."
After saying that, Long Wei flew away from the scene, and they immediately followed him.
On the other hand, Ling Ming turned to his granddaughter, but Ling Ling turned her face to the side and snorted softly. He sighed in his heart and followed the others, leaving that place.
After they left, Feng Ruxue walked up to Shui Yang and Shui Hao. "I warned you before, but you two didn't heed my warning, so what should I do with you two now?"
"Mom! We don't need to talk to them much; since they are trying to kill Jing'er, it would be best to kill them now." Su Fei said this angrily because Ye Jing was one of her sisters.
Ling Ling also said to her. "Sister Fei is right; it would be best if we killed them right now; that way, we can avoid the same problem in the future."
"Madam Feng! Please... give us another chance... we will definitely not do that again." Shui Hao begged her tremblingly; he didn't want to die at Feng Ruxue's hand. If he and his son died now, their clan would collapse, as they were both the strongest among their members.
Bing Xue then spoke to her. "Madam Feng, if we kill them now, the balance in the cultivator realm will be disrupted, and it will cause many problems in the future."
"You are absolutely right, Bing Xue." Feng Ruxue nodded at her. "But I won't spare them just like that, and I must punish them for what they did."
