Nirvana Phoenix Song

Chapter 18: Dark Tide Strikes Back

Night fell over the imperial city of Feng State, and the dull air was filled with an uneasy atmosphere. Since Feng Tangyue launched the reform, the government and the people seemed calm on the surface, but undercurrents were surging. Those once powerful supernatural families and old ministers were unwilling to lose their privileges, and began to secretly collude in an attempt to counterattack.

Feng Tangyue stood in the study room of the cold palace, the moonlight outside the window shone on her, reflecting her slightly tired face. The secret reports piled on the table all showed that the storm in Feng Country was far from over. While reviewing the intelligence from various places, she calmly thought about countermeasures.

Xiao Shi hurried in, looking anxious. "Your Highness, this is bad! We just got the news that an organization calling itself the 'Anti-Phoenix Alliance' is gathering in secret, inciting the people to fight against the court, and plotting to attack the Supervisory Office!"

Feng Tangyue frowned slightly, her eyes were like torches as she looked at the intelligence in front of her, "The Anti-Phoenix Alliance... As expected, these old forces will not give in easily. They hide in the dark, using the turmoil of reform to try to subvert the new order."

Xiao Shi nodded and said worriedly, "Your Highness, these people are not only the remnants of the old family, but also many civilian supernatural people who are instigated by them and think that the court's reforms have harmed their interests. If this continues, I'm afraid it will cause greater unrest."

Feng Tangyue pondered for a moment, a trace of determination flashed in her eyes, "The pain of reform is inevitable, but we must not let these rebels destroy the future of Fengguo. I can't sit idly by, the conspiracy of the Anti-Feng Alliance must be completely eradicated in the bud."

-

The next night, Feng Tangyue personally led an elite force and quietly sneaked into the base of the Anti-Phoenix Alliance. This base was hidden in an abandoned warehouse in the southern suburbs of the imperial city. It looked dilapidated and inconspicuous on the outside, but the inside was brightly lit, and dozens of members of the Anti-Phoenix Alliance were fiercely discussing the next move.

Feng Tangyue was lurking in the dark, and when she heard the words of those rebels, she couldn't help but sneer. These people seemed to have far-reaching plans, but in fact they were just struggling to survive, trying to regain the lost power through repeated destruction.

"Everyone, we must succeed in this operation! Feng Tangyue's reforms are weakening our foundation. If we don't fight back, we will never get ahead!" The leader of the Anti-Feng Alliance, a former important official in the court, shouted loudly, his words full of anger and determination.

Feng Tangyue walked out from the darkness, the fire of Nirvana beating in her palm, illuminating the entire warehouse. Her sudden appearance made everyone's face change drastically, and Huo Ran even gasped, "Feng Tangyue! What are you doing——"

"Do you think you can overthrow Fengguo's reform by hiding here?" Feng Tangyue interrupted him coldly, the flames of Nirvana entwined around her body, blazing and majestic, "I have expected that you will not be willing to be destroyed by the reform, but your so-called resistance will only make Fengguo fall into chaos faster."

The members of the Anti-Phoenix Alliance immediately drew their weapons, but their hesitation and fear were already exposed. Facing Feng Tangyue's pressure, their original morale quickly collapsed. Huo Ran gnashed his teeth, his eyes full of madness, he raised the staff in his hand, gathered his supernatural powers, and vowed to fight Feng Tangyue to the death.

"Feng Tangyue! You can't stop us alone!" Huo Ran shouted, and his supernatural power turned into a gust of wind, trying to force Feng Tangyue back. However, Feng Tangyue's eyes were cold, and the Nirvana Flame suddenly erupted, instantly devouring Huo Ran's supernatural power.

"You have always thought that you are the pillars of the Phoenix Nation, but in fact you are nothing but rotten shackles." Feng Tangyue's tone was cold, and her flames were like the wings of a phoenix, sweeping across the entire warehouse, forcing those members of the Anti-Phoenix Alliance who tried to resist into a desperate situation. In the light of the fire, the warehouse was in a mess, and the power of the Anti-Phoenix Alliance collapsed under Feng Tangyue's offensive.

Xiao Shi led the elite troops to quickly follow up and subdued the rebels in the warehouse one by one. The once arrogant Anti-Phoenix Alliance was now like a frightened bird, pressed to the ground, and lost all fighting spirit. Huo Ran knelt on the ground, his face as pale as paper. He looked up at Feng Tangyue, his eyes full of despair and unwillingness.

"You can't control the Phoenix Kingdom forever... One day, you will fall..." Huo Ran roared weakly, his voice mixed with fear and powerlessness.

Feng Tangyue looked down at him, without any mercy in her eyes, "I am not fighting for control, but to prevent Feng Country from being controlled by greedy people like you. Power is not your toy, but the hope of all the people."

She turned around and ordered the troops: "Take all these people to the capital and put them on public trial. I want everyone to see that the so-called resistance of the Anti-Phoenix Alliance is nothing but selfish ambition. All those who attempt to subvert the Phoenix Kingdom will face a just trial."

The elite troops immediately carried out the order, and the remnants of the Anti-Phoenix Alliance were suppressed and taken away, and the rebellious forces that had been surging undercurrents collapsed. Feng Tangyue stood in front of the ruins of the warehouse, looking at the flames in the sky, feeling a lot of emotions in her heart. She knew that the road to reform was destined to be full of storms, but she had no regrets.

“Give order to chaos, not chaos to order.”

Feng Tangyue's eyes are determined. She will use the fire of Nirvana to burn away all the darkness that hinders the progress of the Phoenix Kingdom. No matter how the remnants of the Anti-Phoenix Alliance counterattack, she will fight with a fearless attitude to protect the new dynasty she has created with her own hands. Although the future is unknown, she will continue to walk through the fire on this land as a phoenix.
