A Useless Person's Rise to Power: The Demon King's Addiction to Pampering

A beam of blue light flashed, and Feng Jiutian was teleported directly to the outside of the Phoenix Tower.

Outside the Phoenix Tower, there was already a group of people who had noticed the commotion. Although it was only a small group, they were all people that Feng Jiutian recognized.

"Nine Heavens!" Feng Zhi waved happily as she went to greet them.

Qiang Huan, Ruo Han, and Ji Xiao followed, and couldn't help but look at Feng Jiutian several times. Seeing that he was unharmed, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank goodness, Jiutian is alright!" Qiang Huan looked at Feng Jiutian with a smile.

"You've even made it through the Phoenix Tower! Impressive!" Ji Xiao gave a thumbs up.

"Congratulations," Ruohan said succinctly.

"Cough cough!" Before Feng Jiutian could answer, a loud cough came from behind. Qiang Huanruohan, Ji Xiao, and Feng Zhi stepped aside to make way.

But standing before them were actually the instructors from the four academies. Each academy had left behind several instructors, with the head of the group being the dean of the Royal Academy.

A young female instructor came out, patted Feng Jiutian's shoulder heavily, and instructed, "Come to the main hall first."

Feng Jiutian already had a few guesses. It was probably because the black egg had hatched that such a big commotion was caused. When the golden light from the black egg shot into the sky, she felt something was wrong.

Sure enough, people were already waiting outside.

Today, I'm afraid these people won't give up until they find out something!

But can these people really interrogate her, Feng Jiutian, at will? If she had to answer honestly to everyone who asked, how could she possibly live?

Feng Jiutian kept his head down, his expression unchanged, but a cold killing intent flashed in his eyes, so intense that the air seemed to freeze for a moment.

In just a moment, the chilling murderous aura that was so real it sent shivers down one's spine receded like the tide.

The expressions on everyone's faces immediately became different, and their eyes kept sweeping over Feng Jiutian, as if they wanted to uncover the secrets of Feng Jiutian.

This has been a common occurrence since ancient times, but even if the instructors in the academy want treasures, they won't do it openly; they'll just ask in a high-sounding manner.

Feng Jiutian smiled noncommittally, indicating that the Killing Intent Domain was indeed very useful.

Immediately afterwards, Feng Jiutian was led to the hall, where several elders were sitting. The moment they saw Feng Jiutian, golden light flashed in their eyes, and their gazes toward Feng Jiutian were as if they were looking at a lamb to the slaughter.

However, the lamb was actually a wolf in disguise.

Qiang Huan looked at Feng Jiutian with some worry and whispered a reminder: "They've been guarding this place ever since you entered the tower. The students from other schools and those who didn't want to be involved or knew anything about it have already left. The remaining few probably don't have good intentions. Be careful..."

Because Qiang Huan was standing close to Feng Jiutian and spoke in a low voice, even the instructor who was closest to her couldn't hear what Qiang Huan said to Feng Jiutian.

Feng Jiutian found Qiang Huan's reminder very helpful and responded with a gentle smile, before turning his head to adopt an icy expression.

The elder asked, "Do you know what the golden light inside the Phoenix Tower is?"

Feng Jiutian lied through her teeth: "Perhaps someone was undergoing tribulation, I didn't see it."

The elder then asked, "Did you encounter any difficult problems?"

Feng Jiutian replied sincerely, "The young alliance leader is indeed him."

The elder's face was ashen as he asked, "Did you gain anything from the Phoenix Tower, or any secret manuals? Tell us about it and teach the students of the academy."

Feng Jiutian's smile was slightly cold. He pointed to himself and said casually, "Do you think I look like an idiot?"

Even if they obtained some treasure, secret manual, or good stuff, how could they possibly talk about it in just a few words? It's these old guys who are getting more and more regressive as they get older!

The other mentors tried desperately to get information out of her, but Feng Jiutian deftly deflected their attempts.

After dealing with the elders and mentors, Feng Jiutian returned to his previously arranged residence. That evening, he planned to try his hand at using the medicinal herbs he had brought out from the Phoenix Tower, under the guidance of Xuanji Zi.

But this night was not peaceful.

That very night, several elders from the alliance arrived. Two of them had tested her during the day, and several others, whom she didn't recognize, stood arrogantly in front of Feng Jiutian.

Feng Jiutian sensed the oppressive aura emanating from these elders and became somewhat wary. He crossed his arms and asked, "May I ask what brings you elders to my door at night instead of sleeping?"

"Feng Jiutian! Hand over what you obtained inside the Phoenix Tower!" one of the elders declared, stating his purpose immediately.

It turns out they were murderers who stole treasure.

A murderous glint flashed across Feng Jiutian's face: "Elders, you really don't hide your purpose at all. If something happens to me here, aren't you afraid that the Royal Academy will cause you trouble?"

He was so humble when he asked her to find the young leader of the alliance, but now he's changed his tune. It's disgusting!

Feng Jiutian then recalled the two times the young leader of the Phoenix Tower had stolen her things, and suddenly felt a sense of disgust towards the jade stones that the young leader had given her, which were stored in the Void Spirit Cauldron.

If even the elders of the alliance are like this, how much better can the young leader be?

Originally, Feng Jiutian still had a sliver of interest in finding that young alliance leader, but now he has no interest whatsoever, which is truly displeasing!

"Humph!"

Hearing Feng Jiutian's words, another elder sneered: "Even if you die today, no one will collect your body. Even if the Royal Academy is powerful, if they fight our alliance with all their might, it will only result in mutual destruction! They are not so foolish as to give up the treasures in the Phoenix Tower just for a disciple who wins the championship!"

It turns out that the mentor who stayed behind also had a share in this matter!

With the Dean of the Royal Academy missing, the remaining tutors may not necessarily be dedicated to their students. Yun was just an anomaly back then, but what about the others?

She should have realized that they only cared about their own interests when they appeared in the hall and the elders tested her!

Feng Jiutian was on guard, a dagger already in his hand. His eyes suddenly sharpened as he swept his gaze over the surrounding elders, his killing intent rising.

Most of these elders were at the Grandmaster level, one was at the peak of the Grandmaster level, two or three were at the mid-stage, and the remaining one was at the peak. She had made a breakthrough inside the Phoenix Tower but was only at the peak of the Venerable Master level, still one step away from the Grandmaster level. It would be almost impossible for her to escape by force!

Then she has no choice but to fight back. She absolutely cannot get through on her own, but she also has the Nine Luminaries Snow Demon and the Golden Serpent. It is hard to say who will live or die!

"You won't talk? Hmph, then we'll wait until you're dead and then search your soul!"

A cold glint flashed across the face of the elder at the peak of the Grandmaster realm. He mobilized the elements within his body, and countless ice spikes rose up in front of him, heading straight for Feng Jiutian!
