Returning to the Phoenix Clan

The three elders of the Phoenix Clan, all at the Tribulation Transcendence stage, sat side by side, appearing extremely tense.

Ao Li, the envoy of the East Sea Dragon Clan, the patriarch of the Demon Realm Dragon Clan, and the patriarch of the Phoenix Clan were also here, but they didn't even have the right to sit.

In addition, there are elders from two other clans, both of whom were great demons who left a deep mark on the demon realm and made a name for themselves. With the rise of the new generation, they have retired.

They held a very high position in the clan, and even the clan chief had to treat them with great respect.

The three patriarchs were here, but their status and position seemed insignificant, so they could only stand.

Sensing the heavy atmosphere, the patriarch of the Demon Realm Dragon Clan began making conversation. "I wonder when Senior Phoenix Ancestor will arrive."

The people of both tribes gathered here to await the return of the Phoenix Ancestor.

Originally, after Jiang Mingzi killed Ji Youming, he wanted to go to the Demon City to find Feng Zu, but he was too late. By then, the battle of the half-immortals had ended, and Lu Yang and Jiang Lianyi had already left.

He figured that the ancient ancestor would definitely want to go home to visit, so he hurriedly returned to the Phoenix Clan to wait.

They didn't even have time to refine the corpse of the Refining Princess; they just kept waiting.

The two dragon clans thought the same thing, and their meeting with the phoenix clan led to the current situation.

At this time, the area surrounding the Phoenix Clan was crowded with various Demon Race, all of whom had come to curry favor with the Phoenix Clan.

If the Phoenix Clan was the number one clan in the Demon Realm in the past because of its deep-rooted foundation, it was powerful but not powerful enough to command the respect of the masses.

Things are different now. With the return of the Phoenix Ancestor, no one will believe the Phoenix Clan if they say they are not powerful.

"I really envy you all. With the Phoenix Ancestor's return, your Phoenix Clan is about to rise again."

The two dragons at the Tribulation Transcendence stage looked at Jiang Mingzi with envy. With the return of the Phoenix Ancestor, all the internal and external troubles facing the Phoenix Clan could be resolved. Why didn't their dragon clan have such good luck?

"Not at all, not at all." Jiang Mingzi's smile was so wide it was almost impossible to stop.

Clang--

The Phoenix Clan member guarding the door burst in, panting, and excitedly exclaimed as he pointed outside, "Our Ancient Ancestor! Our Ancient Ancestor has arrived! He's in the heavens!"

"What!"

The three powerful demons at the Tribulation Transcendence stage quickly got up and went out to greet them.

A vibrant sunset cloud floated in the sky, just like Jiang Lianyi's striking red dress, making it particularly eye-catching.

Above the fiery clouds, the followers of the Heavenly Court Sect gathered, including Jiang Lianyi and Lu Yang, as well as Third Senior Sister, Meng Jingzhou, and five elders.

Of course, they all used images of the Heavenly Court.

Third Senior Sister originally didn't want to impersonate the Heavenly Court Sect, but she couldn't resist the fact that everyone else was coming to the Phoenix Clan, and she felt a little pitiful being all alone if she didn't come.

"What are you doing here!"

Lu Yang transmitted his voice to Meng Jingzhou.

"We're going back to the sect together later, what's wrong with gathering early!" Meng Jingzhou argued confidently.

"Ancient Ancestor!"

"Phoenix Ancestor!"

"Paying homage to the Phoenix Ancestor!"

When the members of the Dragon and Phoenix clans saw Jiang Lianyi, they kowtowed swiftly, overwhelmed with emotion.

"Alright, get up, everyone." Jiang Lianyi raised her hand. Seeing her clansmen again after 300,000 years, she was also very emotional.

She hadn't been in a hurry to meet her clansmen before, mainly because they had exaggerated her story so much, like her rebirth from the ashes. To be honest, she felt embarrassed; to lie and admit it, she also felt embarrassed.

Surrounded by the two clans, Jiang Lianyi entered the Phoenix Clan Ancestral Hall.

Lu Yang and the others did not descend from the clouds. Jiang Lianyi had gone home to visit her clansmen, so there was no need for them to get involved.

The ancestral hall houses the memorial tablets of the Phoenix Clan's ancestors throughout the ages, with Jiang Lianyi at the very top, and the newly added Qilin Immortal beside her.

Jiang Lianyi: "..."

You guys are pretty quick.

"What's your name?" Jiang Lianyi noticed that Jiang Mingzi had the highest cultivation level among the Phoenix Clan.

"Replying to the Ancestor, my name is Jiang Mingzi."

"Late stage of Tribulation Transcendence, very good. The Phoenix Clan's survival over the years is inseparable from your protection. Thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard work at all!" Jiang Mingzi said, tears welling up in her eyes.

"What are your names? I heard that the Dragon Clan has split into two branches, one in the Demon Realm and the other in the East Sea?"

"Yes, senior, I am Ao Chunqiu." This was the ancestor of the Dragon Clan of the Demon Realm.

"This junior is Ao Fan." This is one of the ancestors of the East Sea Dragon Clan.

"Any news about Ao Ling?"

Ao Fan clasped his hands in greeting, his heart filled with bitterness. "Replying to Senior, no."

He had heard that the two ancient ancestors were both enemies and friends, and he had even tried to get information about the ancient ancestors from Phoenix Ancestor, but now it seemed there was no hope.

Jiang Lianyi nodded; this was expected.

Presumably fearing that Ao Ling would be discovered by the mastermind, her husband hid her very well, and it's unlikely that the dragon clan alone could find any clues.

"You don't need to worry about Xiaoling's safety. She's just using Secret Method to fall into a deep sleep somewhere. I'll try my best to find her."

"Thank you so much, senior!" Ao Fan and Ao Chunqiu said excitedly. With the help of the Phoenix Ancestor, their chances of finding the Ancient Ancestor had greatly increased.

"No need to thank me, it's only right. My relationship with Xiaoling is closer than you think; we are both wives of the Qilin Immortal."

"Ah?"

Both the Dragon and Phoenix clans were greatly surprised when they heard this news.

Upon closer reflection, it makes perfect sense; the Qilin Immortal is powerful, so it's perfectly normal for him to have two wives.

"As for the matter of the Demon Kingdom, the Phoenix Clan and the Dragon Clan of the Demon Realm can simply join. The unification of the Demon Realm will benefit the development of the Demon Race."

"As for your concerns about Zhu Tian becoming arrogant and attacking the human race, with me here, he wouldn't dare."

"The Dragon Clan of the East Sea doesn't need to join the Demon Kingdom. I've heard that the chaos in your East Sea isn't much better than in the Demon Realm. If Xiao Ling were here, the East Sea should be her territory, and I wouldn't interfere."

"Yes!"

Jiang Lianyi's reassurance eliminated the worries of both the Phoenix Clan and the Dragon Clan of the Demon Realm.

"I've heard that a rather talented junior has emerged in the clan, named Jiang Shishi. Please bring her over so I can take a look."

Jiang Lianyi remembered that Lu Yang had mentioned this junior when he talked about the Ancient Realm of Creation. The Immortal Sister's evaluation of her talent was "acceptable".

If the Immortal Sister rated it as "acceptable," then that's a very high compliment.

Upon hearing the patriarch mention his daughter, clan leader Jiang Xi's heart pounded with excitement.

Jiang Shishi was surprised that the ancestor would take the initiative to find her. When she was led into the ancestral hall and met the ancestor, she was completely stunned.

If her mother, Jiang Xi, hadn't telepathically instructed her to kneel and pay her respects, she would have completely forgotten about it.

Jiang Lianyi looked Jiang Shishi up and down, making everyone very nervous.

"A promising talent, just a bit inflexible in his thinking, but that's not a big problem; I'll personally mentor him from now on."

Putting everything else aside, he can't be weaker than Zhu Yunwu, whom Zhu Tian trained.

Moreover, Jiang Shishi's talent indeed satisfied Jiang Lianyi, making her suitable as her successor.

Then Jiang Lianyi listened to Jiang Mingzi's report, which recounted the Phoenix Clan's 300,000-year history after she fell into slumber. There were hardships and dangers, as well as the emergence of many outstanding talents. Jiang Mingzi spoke excitedly, and she listened quietly, occasionally interjecting with a knowing smile.

"That's good. It seems the Phoenix Clan is developing very well, so I'm relieved."

Jiang Lianyi got up to leave, startling Jiang Mingzi, who was at a loss. He thought that the ancient ancestor had abandoned the Phoenix Clan because he saw that they were doing well even without him.

"Ancient Ancestor, don't go!"

"Ancient Ancestor, don't go!"

The Phoenix Clan members all knelt down, begging Jiang Lianyi to stay with the Phoenix Clan.

Jiang Lianyi turned around helplessly. "I just woke up and haven't had a chance to see this new world yet. I just went out for a stroll."

"Oh."

Jiang Mingzi stood up awkwardly.

Jiang Lianyi breathed a sigh of relief; she had finally found a legitimate reason.

Having studied under the Immortal Fairy and spent every day with her, Jiang Lianyi was never one to like staying in one place. Making her remain in the Phoenix Clan would be worse than killing her.

She walked out of the ancestral hall, leaped up, and joined Lu Yang, who was sitting on a cloud.

"Senior brother, shall we go back to the Ask Dao Sect? Immortal Sister told me that Ask Dao Sect, whose strength is comparable to hers. Once she recovers her power, the three of us can fight her together!"

Lu Yang: "..."

Is it too late to leave the Immortal lineage now?
