Nirvana Phoenix Song
Chapter 22 Northern Undercurrent
Feng Tangyue led the elite team and quickly sneaked to the northern border. Along the way, she did not relax at all. The unusual gathering of the northern supernatural families meant that another long-lurking storm was brewing. She knew that this trip to the north was not a simple exploration, but a final life-and-death duel with the remnants of the Anti-Phoenix Alliance.
The wind from the north was getting colder and the sky was gloomy, as if foreshadowing the coming turmoil. Feng Tangyue rode in front, and Xiaoshi followed closely behind, his expression full of tension and vigilance.
"Your Highness, we have entered the northern territory. Ahead is Linyuan City. The supernatural families there have been active recently. This should be the center of their planning and assembly." Xiaoshi reported in a low voice.
Feng Tangyue looked deep in the eyes and nodded, "Linyuan City... I remember that was the territory of the 'Mingfeng Family', the largest supernatural family in the north. They have always had a tense relationship with the imperial court. If they really collude with the Anti-Phoenix Alliance, things will be even more difficult."
The Mingfeng Family has always been the overlord of the north. They have their own independent supernatural army and do not easily bow to the imperial court. Feng Tangyue understands that if they want to completely eradicate the remnants of the Anti-Phoenix Alliance this time, they must start with the Mingfeng Family and find the connection between them and the rebels.
"We can't act rashly. We should first send someone to investigate their specific movements and determine the enemy's strength before making plans." Feng Tangyue gave the order calmly. Xiao Shi nodded immediately and selected a small team of elite soldiers to sneak into Linyuan City to gather intelligence.

As night fell, Feng Tangyue and his party temporarily camped in a forest outside Linyuan City. The cold wind howled, blowing the fire in the camp, but there was a silent murderous aura in the air. Xiaoshi paced back and forth nervously, obviously waiting for the report from the spy.
Feng Tangyue sat by the fire with a frown on her face. Her thoughts raced. The turmoil in the north was far more complicated than she had expected, especially with the involvement of the Mingfeng family, which made the whole situation confusing.
At this time, the spy who had sneaked into Linyuan City finally rushed back, his face solemn, "Your Highness, the Mingfeng Family is indeed conspiring with the Nifeng Alliance! They plan to unite several surrounding families and prepare to launch a large-scale rebellion in the north."
The spy also brought back a shocking news: the leader of the remaining forces of the Anti-Phoenix Alliance turned out to be the current head of the Mingfeng Family - Mingfeng Xuanming. He is not only the leader of the Mingfeng Family, but also the real planner behind the Anti-Phoenix Alliance.
"Xuan Ming..." Feng Tangyue repeated the name in a low voice, and a strong sense of vigilance surged in her heart. Mingfeng Xuanming was an extremely dangerous opponent. He not only had powerful supernatural powers, but was also very experienced in strategy. It would be a difficult game to confront him head-on.
"The Mingfeng family has a powerful army with supernatural powers. Once their rebellion breaks out, the situation in the north will be completely out of control. We must take the initiative." Feng Tangyue gave the order decisively, "Xiao Shi, we will enter Linyuan City early tomorrow morning and meet Mingfeng Xuanming directly. I want to meet him in person."
Xiao Shi immediately showed worry, "Your Highness, the Mingfeng family is extremely dangerous. It is too dangerous for you to go there in person. Xuanming is a man with deep scheming. I am afraid we will fall into his trap."
Feng Tangyue's eyes were firm and her tone was unquestionable, "It is precisely because Xuanming is so scheming that I must face him personally. Only in this way can I see his true intentions and find a breakthrough to break the deadlock."
Xiao Shi finally nodded his head in agreement, but he was still filled with a faint sense of uneasiness. He knew that Feng Tangyue was never afraid of danger, but the opponent she faced this time was too difficult. No matter what, he would swear to protect her to the death.
-
The next day, Feng Tangyue led the team to disguise themselves as merchants and quietly entered Linyuan City. The atmosphere in the city was depressing and gloomy, the streets were sparsely populated, and every household had their doors and windows closed, obviously affected by the recent situation.
Feng Tangyue and his group approached the mansion of the Mingfeng family cautiously. The mansion was majestic and solemn, faintly emitting a strong aura of supernatural power. The guards in front of the gate had sharp eyes and were on high alert, making people feel an invisible sense of oppression.
"Your Highness, what should we do next?" Xiao Shi asked in a low voice.
Feng Tangyue smiled slightly, with a sharp light flashing in her eyes, "We will not rush in rashly. I have prepared a letter, which is enough to lure out Xuanming."
She took out a secret letter from her bosom and handed it to Xiao Shi, "Give this letter to Mingfeng Xuanming's men and tell them that this letter was sent to him by the court. Xuanming knows that I am coming and will definitely meet me in person."
Xiao Shi took the letter and quickly sneaked into the territory of the Mingfeng family. Not long after, a guard led Feng Tangyue and his party into the mansion.
-
Feng Tangyue sat face to face with Mingfeng Xuanming in his study. Xuanming's face was stern, his eyes were as deep as a pool, and he exuded a kind of overwhelming pressure. The room was filled with a gloomy atmosphere, as if a silent contest had quietly begun.
"Princess Feng San, I didn't expect you to dare to come here in person. You are really brave." Xuan Ming said with a smile, his voice revealing a hint of sarcasm and contempt.
Feng Tangyue didn't care about his attitude at all, and said calmly: "Master Mingfeng, the situation is complicated. I think we should have a direct dialogue. After all, we both know that it will not be good for either side to drag it on."
Xuan Ming's eyes flashed with surprise, and then he smiled and said, "Feng Tangyue, you are straightforward. However, do you think you can suppress the entire northern forces by yourself? The north has never been restricted by the court. Your so-called reforms can't shake the foundation here at all."
Feng Tangyue's eyes were sharp, and she showed no sign of weakness. "You do have a powerful army of supernatural powers, but you also know that the Anti-Phoenix Alliance is doomed. If you continue to cooperate with them, you will only drag yourself into the abyss."
Xuan Ming snorted coldly, "The situation is over? Feng Tangyue, you are too confident. The court's reforms have made many local forces dissatisfied. I am just following their wishes."
Feng Tangyue remained unmoved. She looked straight at Xuanming, her tone calm and firm, "Dissatisfaction is just an excuse. The real purpose is your greed for power. If you really care about the North, you will understand that reform is to make Fengguo move towards light, rather than continue to be kidnapped by the old forces."
Xuan Ming was silent for a moment, his eyes flashing with complex emotions. He knew that Feng Tangyue was right, the rebellion of the Anti-Phoenix Alliance had lost its initial support, and his continued resistance was doomed to a dead end.
"So, what exactly do you want from me?" Xuan Ming finally spoke, his tone no longer hostile, but with a hint of doubt.
Feng Tangyue smiled slightly, "You and I both know that the outcome of this struggle has long been determined. But we can choose how to end it. I am willing to give the Mingfeng Family a chance to reintegrate into the order of Feng Country, rather than being swallowed up by the torrent of history."
Xuan Ming's eyes wavered slightly, but he did not express his opinion immediately. His silence made the atmosphere in the room solemn again, but Feng Tangyue remained calm and waited for his final decision.
“Give light to darkness, and not darkness to light.”
Feng Tangyue's voice whispered in her heart. She knew that this negotiation would determine the direction of the situation in the north and the future of reform. She must use her wisdom and strength to find a breakthrough to break the deadlock and remove all obstacles that hinder the progress of Fengguo.
