Hope

No one had ever made Phoenix Ancestor feel so conflicted. Not until Shen Fan appeared.

Shen Fan had mercilessly subdued her, taken everything from her, and imprisoned her, robbing her of her freedom.

By rights, Phoenix Ancestor should have hated him.

But when she heard that Shen Fan had driven off one of the Nine Dragon Ancestors, her hatred vanished without a sound.

In its place came excitement and delight!

After all, Shen Fan had accomplished something she had dreamed of doing, yet knew she could never achieve!

Though she, too, had practiced the Martial Path and gained tremendous benefits from it, Phoenix Ancestor had never believed she could rely on the Martial Path to take revenge on the Evil God Clan.

All she could do was draw strength from the Martial Path to protect herself.

But Shen Fan's arrival and his achievements had begun to shatter her long-held beliefs, showing her a simple truth—

No matter how powerful someone was, they could be defeated!

If the Black Dragon Ancestor could be defeated today, then tomorrow, the entire Nine Dragon Ancestors could be defeated—and even the whole Evil God Clan!

All it took was enough power!

Phoenix Ancestor didn't know whether she could one day attain power like Shen Fan's. But she knew that if she didn't change, she would lose that chance forever!

With that thought, Phoenix Ancestor immediately changed her mind and said to Shen Fan, "You win!

"Let us go. From this day on, there will be no more Gods and Demons Emperors. I'm willing to become a blade in your hand and cut down every enemy you face!"

At those words, not only Shen Fan but also Emperor Qing Ming, standing nearby, stared at Phoenix Ancestor with wide eyes. Clearly, he hadn't expected this either.

Wait,
