Southern Blazing Undying Volcano!
Yuanfeng, dressed in red and holding the Phoenix Scepter, sat high above the great hall!
Qing Luan, Tian Huang, Zhu Que, Huo Feng, and Bing Feng stood below!
Yuanfeng said, "Over the years, the Dragon Clan and Qilin Clan have each gradually gained a foothold in the Primordial Wilderness, and both show signs of seeking hegemony.
"But our Phoenix Clan is also the ruler of the skies. Yet even now, we have not unified the heavens. When do you intend to set out?"
The others remained silent, exchanging glances!
Then Qing Luan said, "Sister, although we have yet to unify the skies, most avian clans have still submitted to us. Most of those that have not are in the north. Because of the Cang Ying clan, they are all watching and waiting!"
Huo Feng also said, "Mother, the Cang Ying clan is formidable in battle. Their clan leader, Cang Ying, has already reached the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. I fear only you personally can defeat him!"
After hearing Huo Feng, Tian Huang snorted coldly. "Why would the clan leader need to act? Even I do not fear the Cang Ying clan!"
Huo Feng said, "Great Elder, I know you broke through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm a thousand years ago, but do not forget that Cang Ying broke through hundreds of thousands of years ago. His strength must be unfathomable!"
Tian Huang said, "Even so, what of it? Why should our Phoenix Clan fear a battle? Even if we all die, we cannot let the clan leader act. Otherwise, where would the Phoenix Clan's dignity be!"
"But—"
Just as Huo Feng was speaking!
Caifeng flew inside!
"Mother! Auntie!"
"Caifeng! Little Sister! Little Princess!"
Everyone present cried out in shock!
Yuanfeng rushed straight to Caifeng and looked her over from head to toe!
"Where have you been all these years?" Yuanfeng asked!
"Y-you, your cultivation..."
Before Caifeng could answer, Yuanfeng saw her cultivation and froze where she stood!
"Your child has been unfilial and made Mother worry!"
Then Caifeng recounted everything exactly as it had happened: how she had gone to the South Sea for recreation, how she had become lost there, how the Dragon Clan had pursued her, and how Taichu had saved her!
"The Dragon Clan! What a Dragon Clan! I did not offend you, yet you dared bully my daughter like this!"
After hearing Caifeng's account, everyone present gritted their teeth in fury!
Yuanfeng said angrily, "Qing Luan, gather the army. We march against the Dragon Clan!"
Upon hearing this, Qing Luan turned and headed outside!
"Mother, Auntie, don't! Wait, let me finish!"
Only after hearing Caifeng's words did Qing Luan stop!
Caifeng then repeated Taichu's instructions exactly as he had given them!
"You mean your master told our Phoenix Clan not to contend for supremacy in the Primordial Wilderness?" Yuanfeng said in astonishment!
As a great supernatural expert, who did not know the benefits of Qi Wu?
Yet Caifeng's master had told them not to vie for the Primordial Wilderness!
Yuanfeng could not help doubting Taichu's identity. He was most likely some pretentious fraud seeking fame!
Thinking this, Yuanfeng looked again at Caifeng's cultivation!
"Great Perfection Taiyi Golden Immortal, that is correct! But could such a great supernatural expert truly not understand Qi Wu?"
Thinking this, Yuanfeng circled Caifeng once more. She truly could not understand how a great supernatural expert could fail to know the benefits of competing for Qi Wu!
"Mother, stop looking. I am undoubtedly at Great Perfection Taiyi Golden Immortal!"
It was not that Yuanfeng harbored doubts, but the Zhu Que clan leader had only reached Great Perfection Taiyi Golden Immortal after cultivating for countless years. Moreover, she was the leader of a branch clan and had the support of Qi Wu!
Great Elder Tian Huang and Qing Luan had only just broken through to the early Great Luo Golden Immortal realm!
Caifeng's elder sisters, Jin Feng and Bing Feng, had only just broken through to the early Taiyi Golden Immortal realm!
Therefore, Caifeng's cultivation made Yuanfeng suspect that it had been forcibly raised through a secret technique!
But judging from the aura emanating from Caifeng, it was clearly not enhanced by a secret technique!
After all, Caifeng's aura was right there for all to see!
"Caifeng, can you tell Mother your master's name?" Yuanfeng asked!
"My master is Taichu Daoist, Sect Leader of the Dao Protection Sect. His dojo is on Three Immortals Island!"
After hearing Caifeng's words, Yuanfeng was utterly baffled!
She turned to Qing Luan and the Great Elder, but both indicated that they did not know him and had never heard of him!
"Then in which direction is your sect?"
Caifeng thought for a moment before saying, "On the East Sea Coast!"
"What? The East Sea Coast?" Yuanfeng said in surprise!
"The East Sea Coast?"
The others were also astonished!
"Yes, what is the problem?" Caifeng asked curiously!
"The problem is enormous!" Yuanfeng roared!
"Let me ask you: when that Taichu Daoist saved you, you said he only drove the Dragon Clan away, correct?"
"Yes!"
"He did not kill them, correct?"
"Yes!"
"He did not even kill that insolent crab general, correct?"
"Yes!"
"Let me ask you, did that Daoist also tell you that if our Phoenix Clan contended for supremacy in the Primordial Wilderness, we would face the danger of extermination?"
Caifeng blinked and said, "Yes! How did you know that, Mother? Is there a problem?"
"The problem is enormous! How could he be your master? He is clearly one of the Dragon Clan!" Yuanfeng said furiously!
The others all nodded in agreement!
"Your so-called master is clearly one of the Dragon Clan. They want to dominate the Primordial Wilderness, so at this critical moment, they sent you to persuade us not to participate!"
"Once we miss this opportunity, by the time we come to our senses, the overall situation will be beyond saving. The Dragon Clan will already have seized the initiative!
"That will be when we have no place to stand. That will be the time of our clan's destruction, my foolish daughter!"
Everyone nodded in agreement! The clan leader was indeed wise. Even such subtle details had been noticed by her!
The admiration in everyone's gaze toward Yuanfeng grew even stronger!
Even Qing Luan, who had always doted on Caifeng, said, "Caifeng, your mother is right. You must have been set up by the Dragon Clan!"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible! Master loves me so dearly. How could he possibly have deceived me!"
Seeing Caifeng cry in sorrow, Qing Luan's heart ached as well. After all, Yuanfeng gave birth to the children but did not raise them; Qing Luan had raised them all!
After saying this, Caifeng took out all the spiritual treasures on her!
"Eleventh Grade World Cleansing White Lotus, Seven-Colored Cloud Dress, Five Elements Treasure Sword, Eight Trigrams Heart Protecting Mirror, Fire Spirit Pearl!"
Every one of them was a Top Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure!
In an instant, treasure light shone throughout the entire Phoenix palace!
"Look! Master treasures me so much. How could he possibly be deceiving me!"
Seeing so many Top Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, everyone's mouths fell open in shock!
Seeing this, Yuanfeng became even more enraged!
She gritted her teeth and said, "You Dragon Clan! You Zu Long! To harm my Phoenix Clan, you truly spared no expense! Foolish girl, how could a few Innate Spiritual Treasures compare to the entire Primordial Wilderness!"
"Mother!"
Hearing Yuanfeng say this, Caifeng cried even harder!
"That is not true. Master would never deceive me!"
Yuanfeng helplessly shook her head at the sight!
"This daughter is beyond saving!"
Then she clenched her teeth and said, "Qing Luan, take her away and lock her up! Without my order, no one is permitted to let her leave!"
Qing Luan said anxiously, "Sister..."
Yuanfeng turned around angrily and waved her hand. In a tone that allowed no argument, she said, "Take her away!"
