"So cold, so cold, so cold." She was hopping in front of Yitian Zhan.

Yihan suddenly stood up: "Your Highness Gumo! Perhaps I am too young, but there are some things I believe I have seen very clearly. The Feather Emperor may see you as the enemy of the entire Feather Clan, but when the Feather Emperor held power, the elite of the Crane Snow Group deterred the city-states from all directions, allowing our clansmen to live in peace. But now it is different; the Feather Emperor is dead, and the entire Feather Clan has lost its dominance. Anyone who wishes to be a hero can now throw themselves into the battlefield to seize their glory, and this glory comes at the cost of killing! But now it is different; the Feather Emperor is dead, and the entire Feather Clan has lost its dominance. Anyone who wishes to be a hero can now throw themselves into the battlefield to seize their glory, and this glory comes at the cost of killing! Prince Vitas has gone mad; he is blinded by the victory before him, and retribution will soon descend upon us. He killed the Feather Emperor, approached Zigrin, and is about to don the crown of the Feather Emperor, but who will acknowledge him? He is now the enemy of the entire Feather Clan, and the flames of war will eventually spread to the Stark City-State. Will the fate of our homeland be like that of the Baimuer City-State?" He killed the Feather Emperor, approached Zigrin, and is about to don the crown of the Feather Emperor, but who will acknowledge him? He is now the enemy of the entire Feather Clan, and the flames of war will eventually spread to the Stark City-State. Will the fate of our homeland be like that of the Baimuer City-State?"

This is not our war; it is the war of the entire Feather Clan! The barbarians are still coveting our land outside the Gogo Mountains, while our people are slaughtering each other. Every feathered person should strive to save our forest! She is the princess of the Feather Clan, the last trace of pure blood! The Feather Emperor is dead! He has no heir! No one else can stand up to represent the Feather Clan! Your Highness, do you understand?

You have too much confidence in me!" Yitian Zhan sneered

Change your clothes and call me! You're a big girl now, don't be so shy and clueless!" Yi Tianzhan scolded softly and got up to leave.

The person in the moonlit circle suddenly spread their wings to the limit! In that moment, Yi Tianzhan seemed to be swept by the wind, drifting to his right. The sound of metal cutting through the air was sharp, as a long arrow with a white feather tail appeared to materialize from the moonlight, shooting directly at Yi Tianzhan. His speed was no longer sufficient to evade it, so he abruptly came to a halt, becoming still once more. Yi Tianzhan watched as the arrow approached him, extending his smoking rod. In an instant of absolute precision, the rod struck the arrowhead, sparking a few sparks and deflecting the arrow slightly.

Yitian gazed at her, not wanting to speak, shook her head, and fell silent for a moment: "Yuran, Asule, and Jiye, do you like them?"

"I was just thinking that I might spend my whole life in Nanhuaicheng, and then you all arrived. How many of you are there? Come out!" Yi Tianzhan said淡淡.

You should not be telling me this. You are well aware of the reputation I left in Zigrin and Stark City. I will not return to Ningzhou; my people hate me, and I do not wish to explain myself to them

Three months ago, His Highness Legu of the City-State of Baimu'er was burned to death in his treehouse, and the entire City-State of Baimu'er has now turned to ashes, with all its residents killed in the river. The river water flowing to the City-State of Stardock is still blood-red. "Yihan said slowly, "An army is advancing towards Qigelin, the same one that destroyed the City-State of Baimu'er, continuously conquering city-states along the way. They now possess fifteen thousand pure-blooded feathered archers and sixty thousand light-armored infantry, a force sufficient to also annihilate Qigelin. The leader of that army sent assassins who killed the Feather Emperor in front of the ministers, such ruthless tactics have shocked the entire feathered race, and Qigelin has already lost its faith in a decisive battle, with the entire Crane Snow Corps turning against him.

I am now a traitor to He Xue. Most of He Xue has already defected to His Highness Vitas, and as far as I know, the assassins he dispatched are approaching Nanhuai City. Their scouts have already discovered your whereabouts. How much longer can this life continue?" Yi Han took a deep breath, "I have confidence in myself, confidence in persuading you, I believe you are still a Celestial Warrior! You have fought for the revival of Tianqu for so many years, and you will not forget that the people of your homeland are still looking forward to the alliance of the Yi and Yu clans once again, to save the forests engulfed in war!"

Yuran cupped a splash of water in her hands, and with a sudden blow, the reflected light of the stars and moon shattered in the water. The water flowed through her fingers, carrying all the light away with it. She squatted inside the large bathtub, looking up at the moon, which appeared hazy, resembling a fried egg. The thought made her want to laugh, and unable to contain herself, she let out a few bubbles, giggling as she poked her head out of the water.

Yuran tossed aside her wide robe and turned to take a handkerchief to dry her hair. She had grown up, her figure no longer resembling that of a little girl. The wet undergarment clung to her skin, clearly outlining her delicate waist and prominent chest. Yitian glanced at her back and was momentarily stunned. Reflected in the firelight, a mist-like substance slowly rose in his sea-blue eyes.

Yuran stuck out her tongue and emerged from the bathtub. A piece of undergarment that was originally floating on the water directly clung to her body. Beside her was a slab of bluestone, beneath which lay a small charcoal brazier, and on top of it was a wide brocade robe. The robe had been dried and warmed by the heat, and she wrapped it around herself, running back into the house barefoot on the cold bluestone floor.

Yitian Zhan looked at him

Yes, however, they have all passed away

Yitian Zhan chuckled softly, patted her head, and continued smoking. Yuran stood with her back to him for a moment before skipping out the door.

The legend of the Feathered Tribe states that the arrows of He Xue never miss their mark; the arrows shot are destined to drink deeply of the enemy's blood, thus they will surely hit their target even if pursued to the ends of the earth

"This is not an excuse," Yitian Zhan's voice was as hard as iron. "When I left the Stark City-State, I broke my bow. I am now just a Sky Driver, not a Crane Snow, and certainly not the prince you speak of. A Sky Warrior is not a born hero; he is merely a person. Even if he still soars in the skies of Ningzhou, he does not have the ability to extinguish the raging fire that spreads throughout the forest."

I saw Her Highness the Princess, and I recognized her! The purest blood of the Feather Emperor flows through her veins. If she ... ...

"No, Your Highness Gumo, you have the opportunity to save our forest. Only you possess this ability." Yihan grasped the edge of the table, leaning forward, and fixed his gaze intently on Yitian's eyes, "Only you!"

Yitian Zhan fell silent for a moment, took a puff of smoke, and said: "Why are you telling me this? Which side are you on? You are a He Xue from the Stark City-State, are you fighting for Vitas, or for the deceased Feather Emperor?"

What has changed Vitas?" Wing Tianzhan asked in a low voice

Yihan retrieved his bow and dagger: "Many ... ... can never be found again ... ... "

I was just thinking, perhaps we will live in Nanhuai for a lifetime, " Yitian Zhan took a puff of smoke, " You have grown up, of course I want to know who you like.

The entire Feather Clan?" Yi Tianzhan scoffed coldly, "You are still too young.

Yuran cast a wary glance at him and said, "What does Grandpa want to know this for?"

I am doing this for the entire Feather Clan!" Yi Han said, emphasizing each word.

I am very grateful for your praise, but I did not come here to hear the comments of the Heavenly Warriors about my family background and archery skills. " Yi Han gazed directly into Yi Tianzhan's eyes.

I don't want to... this is just fine. Yuran turned her back.

"Oh, laughing! You are all grown-up girls, yet you still enjoy playing in the water. Once you are done, hurry inside; I have dried your clothes for you." The voice of Yitian Zhan came from a house far away.

"Silly girl, there is no such thing in the world. No matter how good a friend is, even if they are biological brothers, the person you love can never be shared with others. It's like a heart that is split in two, it shatters like glass. " Yitian Zhan said, suddenly lost in thought.

The corner of Yitian Zhan's eye twitched, and he could not suppress the fear in his heart: "Who is the one leading the army?"

"She is still the last Ji Wushen we know," he turned back before leaving, "If you truly wish for her to be an ordinary person, then why teach her everything about the Dance of Tigris?"

You are the son of Pericles Stark, so your mother is Selina

If the assassin of the Feather Emperor comes, you would not even see the person before at least ten arrows are shot towards you. In the face of a Celestial Martial Artist, no one dares to provoke with even a single arrow. That arrow merely represents a greeting from one's homeland. The figure slowly flapped its wings, descending from the moonlit circle, lightly landing on the roof ridge

Who do you prefer

"Your lineage is enough to make you proud, and your archery skills are sufficiently sharp; in the realm of Crane Snow, you are indeed quite rare." said Yitian Zhan

"You are a crane snow, are you not the assassin of the Feather Emperor?" Yi Tianzhan coldly looked at him, "The ruthlessness of that arrow you just shot was not far from killing me, was that your greeting?"

He raised his head: "The Feathered Emperor is dead."

I am confident in my archery skills, but if it were the lord of Stark City, he would certainly be able to evade such an arrow. The person on the roof, leaning on a green bow wrapped in golden threads, knelt down slightly, lowered his head, and reported his name, "Stark City, Yihan"

Of course I like them, otherwise why would I be with them

Yuran plugged her ears with her fingers, shrank her head, and said: "I can't hear, I can't hear, I can't hear!"

The smoke from Yi Tianzhan's cigarette slowly burned out. He looked up at the full moon rising in the sky, and his body suddenly stiffened. Within the crystal-clear, round moon, there was a pitch-black shadow that seemed to gently undulate with the wind. Behind that shadow, eagle-like wings spread gracefully. Yi Tianzhan took off the cigarette holder and slowly stood up. He remembered that his bow and arrows were in the house behind him, less than five feet away, but he no longer had the chance to rush back inside. The time it took for him to turn around was enough for that person to shoot three arrows, each capable of piercing his skull.

Yihan coldly smiled: "Your Highness Gumo, you have been away from Ningzhou for too long. People do change. The current Vitas Stark sees himself as the leader of the revival of the Stark city-state, and he aims to reclaim the crown of the Feather Emperor for the Wing family in front of the world. He may have once been a young man who often felt sad and helpless, but he has grown strong. Wherever he goes, people kneel before his battle flag. In fact, before he raised his army, the forests of Ningzhou had already fallen into chaos. People were killing each other, and those who did not kill would be killed by others. Vitas seized this opportunity amidst the turmoil."

Perhaps it is sadness and helplessness

"Did you say the Feather Emperor is dead?" Yi Tianzhan smiled, "Is that why you came here? The death of the Feather Emperor has nothing to do with me. Even if the Feather Emperor is dead, there will still be a new Feather Emperor, and the new Feather Emperor will still see me as the enemy of the entire Feather Clan. I still cannot set foot on the land of Ningzhou"

Who else have you made plans with

This is an excuse! Winghan said loudly

He sat on the steps, lit his pipe, took a deep breath, and gently exhaled a smoke ring, the mist in his eyes becoming even denser. After a while, the door opened, and Yuran leaped out. She had changed into a white arrow skirt, with a very wide white silk belt tied around her waist, and her hair was tied in a long ponytail, resembling the appearance of a noble girl from the eastern continent going hunting

"You shouldn't wear shoes!" Yitian glanced at her and placed a handkerchief over her head

A person you are very familiar with. His name is Yilin Vitas Stark, your grandnephew, and he is currently the master of the Stark city-state

Just think, if you could only be with one of them for a lifetime, who would you choose? You will understand.

Yitian Zhan adjusted the wick, and the flame illuminated the people on both sides of the table. Yihan placed his green jade bow on the table, along with his twin daggers, and spread his hands to indicate that he was completely unarmed. Yitian Zhan silently smoked, observing Yihan. It had been many years since he had seen someone from his homeland. Yihan was handsome and elegant, yet the curve of his lips bore a sharpness akin to a blade. He had long white hair, a pair of sea-blue eyes, and wore dark green lacquered armor adorned with golden threads. Yitian Zhan saw the shadows of several old friends in him.

No! It is not like that! You are the Celestial Warrior, the greatest of the Crane and Snow, and to this day, people still sing your praises.

Grandfather, I am going out tonight

Yitian's azure blue pupils suddenly constricted, his gaze as sharp as an arrow: "Impossible! I will never allow her to be caught up in your war!"

Yitian Zhan remained silent for a long time: "What if I do not agree?"

In an instant, Yi Tianzhan felt that he had grown old. Having lived in the splendid and magnificent Nanhuai City for too long, he had become complacent and lazy, losing the vigilance of his younger years. It was only when the other party approached to this distance that he realized this was something that had never happened to a Tianwu practitioner. Yi Tianzhan straightened his body, the night wind lifting his white robe as if he were about to soar into the sky at any moment. Yet he did not move; both individuals remained in absolute stillness. Yi Tianzhan straightened his body, the night wind lifting his white robe as if he were about to soar into the sky at any moment. Yet he did not move; both individuals remained in absolute stillness.

That is because they do not know that the traitor Gumo and the Celestial Warrior are the same person

Your Highness Gumo, you cannot be too selfish. I know who the princess's grandmother is, and I also understand her significance to you. However, Your Highness Gumo, she is the princess of the entire Feather Clan, not just your beloved granddaughter. We need someone to step forward, even though the one who steps forward will also have to pay a heavy price. " Yihan shook his head, " I have come here and have also sacrificed a great deal... "

I don't know, they are all quite good. Why should I choose who I like more?

Yitian Zhan remained silent for a long time: "What you say cannot be substantiated. The Vitas I know is not like that; he is a young man who often feels sad and helpless, and he values friendship greatly. Legu is his best friend, and when he was exiled by the Feather Emperor, it was Legu who pleaded for his forgiveness. Even if he is determined to rebel against the Feather Emperor, why would he turn against Legu?"

In any case, it is either Asule or Jiya, and I do not know many people.

An arrow was embedded in the door, its tail feathers vibrating with a buzzing sound. Yi Tianzhan looked at the scars on his smoking rod, which had been split in half by the arrowhead.
