Goddess Emperor Phoenix: Rebirth Against Heaven

The prosperous Tiandu City was ablaze with lights and bustling with people. Inside the City Lord's Mansion, a beautiful woman in a green robe was walking in the courtyard. Her eyebrows and eyes were as beautiful as a painting, and her face was stunning, but her eyes showed a hint of fatigue and worry.

This beauty is none other than Princess Qianying, the lord of Tiandu City, a peerless beauty known as the "Goddess Emperor Phoenix". Since she was reborn here a year ago, she has been caught up in numerous conspiracies and has been unable to rest.

At this moment, she was thinking about the next course of action. The enemy's power was growing stronger and stronger, and she had to find a breakthrough as soon as possible to reverse the situation.

Just as she was immersed in her own thoughts, she heard footsteps behind her. She turned around and saw that it was her trusted butler walking towards her.

"Princess, I just received news that the masked man has appeared again in Juyifang in the west of the city." The butler said in a low voice.

"Masked men?" Princess Qianying frowned slightly, "It seems that their actions are becoming more rampant. Send someone to investigate, I'll be there soon."

"Yes, Princess." The butler responded and retreated.

Princess Qianying took a deep breath and then walked quickly towards the west of the city.

In Juyifang, people were talking and music was playing in the restaurant. A dark figure quietly appeared in the corner, with a pair of cold eyes staring at the movement in front.

This is the mysterious masked man. He is quietly observing everything around him, as if looking for some important clues.

At this moment, a team of armored city guards rushed in from outside and ran straight in the direction of the black shadow.

"It's that masked guy, catch him!" one of the city guards shouted.

Seeing this, the shadows quickly fled to the backyard. The city guards chased them relentlessly, chasing them all the way in the direction they disappeared.

In the secret passage in the backyard, the black shadow suddenly turned around, and with a flash of the long sword in his hand, several city guards fell to the ground. Taking advantage of the chaos, he quickly fled the scene.

At this time, Princess Qianying also hurried to Juyifang. She saw several injured city guards lying on the ground, and she couldn't help but frown.

"What's going on? Where is the masked man?" she asked anxiously.

"Princess, the guy escaped. We chased him for a while, but unfortunately we couldn't catch him." A city guard said apologetically.

Princess Qianying hesitated for a moment, then gave the order: "Send people to continue searching, and make sure to find the whereabouts of the masked man as soon as possible."

"Yes, Princess." The city guards responded and left.

Princess Qianying stood alone in the backyard, staring at the bloodstains on the ground in a trance. She had a vague feeling that there must be some unspeakable secret behind this mysterious masked man.

At this moment, footsteps were heard from the darkness. Princess Qianying turned around alertly and saw a pretty girl slowly walking out.

"Public, so you are here." said the girl with a smile.

"Bing'er, why are you here too?" Princess Qianying was a little surprised.

"I heard something happened in the west of the city, so I came to check it out. But it seems you've already been here." Bing'er blinked, "Who is that masked man? Why is he causing trouble here?"

"This is really a mystery." Princess Qianying sighed, "His whereabouts have always been mysterious, and we have never been able to catch him. But I always feel that he must have other purposes."

Bing'er pondered for a moment, and suddenly suggested: "Would you like me to help investigate? Maybe we can find some clues."

Princess Qianying smiled slightly, "Since you are interested, I would like to trouble you to help me."

"Okay, I'll go and find out the news right away." Bing'er nodded, then turned and left.

Looking at Bing'er's back, Princess Qianying couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Who is this masked man? What is his intention? All of this makes her feel very troubled.

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps came from a distance, and a city guard ran over breathlessly.

"Princess, we just received news that a fire broke out in the northern suburbs of the city. It's suspected to be arson!" the city guard said anxiously.

"What? Arson?" Princess Qianying took a breath, "Quickly notify all the city guards and rush to the scene immediately!"

"Yes, Princess!" The city guards responded and left.

Princess Qianying frowned and quickened her pace. She had a vague feeling that this incident must be related to the masked man.

In the northern suburbs of the city, a fire was raging, the flames engulfing buildings one after another. Countless people were panicked and fled in all directions.

Princess Qianying rushed to the scene and saw the devastation and chaos. She couldn't help but feel sad and angry.

"Quick, send someone to organize a fire-fighting operation and bring the fire under control as soon as possible!" she ordered sternly.

The city guards quickly took action, evacuating the people and organizing the fire-fighting.

In the chaos, Princess Qianying suddenly noticed a familiar figure. She looked closely and found that it was the mysterious masked man who had just appeared in Juyifang.

"You!" Princess Qianying shouted, "Stop right there!"

The masked man's expression changed, and he quickly turned and ran away. Princess Qianying immediately chased after him.

The two chased each other in the fire, and the scene was very intense. In the end, the masked man was blocked in a dead corner by Princess Qianying.

"Take off your mask and let me see who you are!" Princess Qianying said with a gloomy face.

The masked man was silent for a moment, then slowly took off his mask. He turned out to be a young and beautiful woman.

"You are..." Princess Qianying took a breath, "How could it be you?"

"I didn't expect you to recognize me." The woman smiled faintly, "But even so, you can't change my determination."

"What exactly do you want to do?" Princess Qianying asked with a frown.

"Humph, why should I tell you?" The woman snorted coldly, "All I want is justice and fairness, and you so-called rulers only know how to exploit the people and bully the weak. Now, let me teach you a lesson!"

After saying that, the woman turned over, drew a long sword from her waist, and pointed it directly at Princess Qianying.

"It seems that you are not going to give up." Princess Qianying sighed helplessly, and at the same time drew out her sword and started a fierce duel with her.

The two of them fought fiercely in the fire, swords flashing and flames rising to the sky. Finally, when Princess Qianying was caught off guard, the woman's long sword pierced straight into her chest.

"It seems that you are indeed a good opponent. However, let's stop here today." The woman said with a sneer.

Princess Qianying felt a sharp pain in her chest, and then her vision went dark and she passed out.

When she woke up again, she was already in the bedroom of the City Lord's Mansion. She saw Bing'er sitting beside her with a frown on her face.

"You finally woke up." Bing'er couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw her open her eyes. "You really scared me to death. If I hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid you would..."

"Who is that woman?" Princess Qianying asked weakly.

"I have sent someone to investigate this matter." Bing'er pondered, "As far as I know, the woman's name is Lan Ruoxue, an orphan who grew up in the north of the city. For many years, she has been concerned about the suffering of the people and hopes to bring them justice. But recently, she seems to have been stimulated by something and has become more and more extreme and radical."

"I see." Princess Qianying thought, "No wonder she hates us so much as the so-called rulers."

"Yes, she seems to have a special obsession with you." Bing'er sighed, "But the most important thing now is that you take a good rest and deal with this matter after your injuries have healed."

"Okay, I understand." Princess Qianying nodded, "But you have to be careful, that Lan Ruoxue looks dangerous."

"Don't worry, I will be careful." Bing'er said with a smile.

At this moment, hurried footsteps were heard, and a city guard hurried in.

"Princess, we just received news that there was another fire in the south of the city!" the city guard reported anxiously.

"What? Another fire?" Princess Qianying was immediately surprised. "It seems that Lan Ruoxue's actions are indeed rampant. Send someone to check the situation immediately. We must control the fire as soon as possible."

"Yes, Princess." The city guards responded and left.

Princess Qianying pondered for a moment, then said to Bing'er: "Bing'er, it seems that this matter is not over yet. Go and help investigate the situation. I also need to recover from my injuries as soon as possible and stop Lan Ruoxue from doing this."

"I understand." Bing'er nodded and left.

Princess Qianying was lying alone on the bed, with the scenes just now circling in her mind. Lan Ruoxue's appearance undoubtedly cast a shadow on her rule, and she had to find a solution as soon as possible.

At this moment, an idea suddenly flashed through her mind. She sat up suddenly, with a determined look in her eyes.

"It seems that I have to do it myself." She murmured to herself.

In this way, Princess Qianying began to prepare for the upcoming action. She knew that this time she had to go all out to put an end to all the conspiracies.
