Hongjun looked at Mo Luo and the other two beside Luohu, his eyes growing grave.
Though Mo Luo and the other two would likely fall within a few moves if they faced him, together they could hold Primordial Phoenix back for some time.
If that happened, would he not have to face Luohu alone?
Primordial Phoenix anxiously swept her gaze over Mo Luo and the others, but she did not find the Phoenix Clan's Vermilion Bird among them.
She did not even see the Dragon Clan's Candle Dragon. Immediately alarmed, she questioned Mo Luo, "Mo Luo, what have you done to Vermilion Bird of my clan?"
Mo Luo grinned. "Phoenix Emperor, there is no need to worry. Vermilion Bird of your clan is still alive. As for whether she lives or dies... that depends on what choice you make."
At that, Mo Luo paused briefly. He first glanced at Luohu, and seeing that his ancestor did not stop him, he continued, "Of course, we can order our people below to stop fighting right now and cease attacking your Phoenix Clan."
"And we do not even need you to help our Demon Ancestor. You only need to stand by and watch quietly! Even if we win, we will not pursue what your Phoenix Clan has done today. Surely that is an easy choice to make?"
Hearing this, Primordial Phoenix's face immediately showed conflict.
Almost instinctively, she turned to look at Hongjun beside her.
Yet that casual glance made Hongjun's expression change abruptly.
He hurriedly tried to persuade her. "Primordial Phoenix, do not let them deceive you. Given Luohu's conduct, if he truly wins, not a single member of your Phoenix Clan will remain!"
Luohu took in Primordial Phoenix's hesitant expression, the corner of his mouth lifting into a faint, imperceptible smile.
