Wouldn't Laying Low Be Better? Yuanfeng's Choice

When Yuanfeng heard the question.

Rahu's expression stiffened.

He hadn't expected Yuanfeng, who was known for being "impulsive and irritable," to be so calm at such a crucial moment.

But since Rahu had dared to come here, he had naturally made all the necessary preparations.

After hearing Yuanfeng's words.

Rahu didn't answer right away. Instead, he revealed his cultivation at the peak of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm.

Only then.

Did Rahu's answer slowly ring out...

"Lady Yuanfeng, I have been at the peak of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm for many years, but have never found an opportunity to break through to the Primordial Golden Immortal realm."

"According to the Heavenly Dao's guidance, unseen and mysterious."

"If I can help the Phoenix Clan dominate Hong Huang, I will be able to use that opportunity to break through to the Primordial Golden Immortal realm."

"I simply can't refuse such an offer!"

For the Primordial Beings of Hong Huang, cultivation came first.

Rahu's answer made perfect sense, yet there was no way to verify it. It was, one could say, flawless.

After hearing Rahu's words.

The Phoenix Clan's Great Experts spoke up one after another...

"Clan Leader, this Heavenly Mandate Daoist makes a good point. Why not trust him for now and secretly build up our forces? Then we can accomplish great things in the future."

"That's right, Clan Leader. If this is the Heavenly Dao's guidance, then our Phoenix Clan is the Destined Clan!"

"Clan Leader, give the order! We are willing to lead the charge for the Phoenix Clan!"

"Clan Leader!"

The Phoenix Clan's Great Experts, tainted by Tribulation Qi, were all tempted. They urged Yuanfeng one after another.

Only Qing Luan, whose cultivation had reached the Early Stage Primordial Golden Immortal realm, remained calm.

At the same time.

Qing Luan's soft voice sounded in Yuanfeng's ear...

"Big Sister, Qing Luan will follow your lead."

For a moment.

The entire Phoenix Clan stood united, waiting for Yuanfeng's decision.

Yet Yuanfeng remained silent, her delicate brows slightly furrowed.

She had a nagging feeling that something was wrong, but she couldn't figure out what.

Still, Yuanfeng had always been rather carefree by nature.

After racking her brain and finding no problem.

Yuanfeng was about to agree.

But at that very moment.

"Thump!"

"Thump!"

"Thump!"

A series of dull thuds suddenly rang out inside the Phoenix Clan Great Hall.

The Great Experts turned toward the sound and realized that it had come from Yuanfeng's belly...

Inside Yuanfeng's belly.

The moment Ling Tian saw Rahu.

The system's prompt sounded at once...

[Beep!]

[Detected Demon Ancestor Luohu trying to trick Yuanfeng into leaving seclusion early to compete for supremacy over Hong Huang. Please choose...]

[Choice One: Go all out! Encourage Yuanfeng to compete for supremacy over Hong Huang. Reward: Chaos Bell.]

[Choice Two: Wouldn't laying low be better? Stop Yuanfeng from competing for supremacy over Hong Huang. Reward: Chaos Bead.]

When he heard the system's prompt.

Ling Tian was instantly at a loss for words.

There it was again, trying to give him a funeral bell!

The system just wouldn't give up on screwing him over!

"You damn system!"

"You may not be human, but you sure are a real dog!"

Ling Tian ruthlessly cursed the system.

According to the original history of Hong Huang.

The Phoenix Clan had left seclusion because of Rahu's scheme, then fought the Dragon Clan and the Kirin Clan for supremacy over Hong Huang.

But in the end, they had all paved the way for Rahu.

Not only had they helped Rahu achieve his goal.

The entire Phoenix Clan, Yuanfeng included, had met a miserable end.

Besides, the Phoenix Clan was still far from its peak.

Leaving seclusion to blindly fight for supremacy over the world would be nothing short of suicide!

Ling Tian wasn't surprised that Rahu had suddenly come to persuade the Phoenix Clan to leave seclusion.

But this was far earlier than when the Phoenix Clan had left seclusion to fight for supremacy in the original story!

Ling Tian's thoughts stirred.

This change was probably all because of him!

At that thought.

Ling Tian's gaze grew more solemn than ever.

"System, I choose the second option!"

As soon as the words left his mouth.

Ling Tian gathered his Immortal Power above his head and slammed it frantically against Yuanfeng's belly.

As a fetus.

All Ling Tian could do was protest by headbutting his way out!

The Phoenix Clan Great Hall.

Rahu could clearly sense that Yuanfeng was about to agree, and joy surged through his heart.

Once Yuanfeng agreed.

What came next would be beyond her control.

Yuanfeng, the Phoenix Clan, and Ling Tian in Yuanfeng's belly would all be dragged by Rahu into an abyss with no way out!

But at that very moment.

"Thump! Thump! Thump!"

Dull thuds suddenly rang out.

Rahu's heart skipped a beat, and a powerful sense of foreboding welled up inside him.

Sure enough.

Yuanfeng, who had been about to speak, changed expression. A look of conflict appeared in her eyes.

After who knew how long.

Yuanfeng, who had been sitting upright, suddenly leaned back comfortably and actually slouched into a full-on "Ge You slouch."

Yuanfeng's lazy voice slowly rang through the hall...

"Fighting for supremacy over the world sounds pretty fun."

"I was quite interested myself."

"But it seems my son doesn't agree."

"So forget it."

"Everyone, you can go..."

At the sound of Yuanfeng's voice.

Rahu: "..."

The Phoenix Clan's Great Experts: "..."

Nobody had expected Yuanfeng to think for so long, only to come out with this.

What did she mean, fighting for supremacy over the world sounded pretty fun?

What did she mean, her son wasn't keen, so she'd just forget it?

This was a major matter that concerned all of Hong Huang!

She'd turned it down because of a few kicks from her unborn child?

Could she really be that casual about it?

When he came to his senses, Rahu nearly burst into tears.

He'd spent ages patiently trying to persuade Yuanfeng. He'd even knelt before her, and success had seemed just within reach.

And then a few kicks from the baby had ruined everything!

Rahu was filled with resentment. Unable to hold back, he spoke up.

"Lady Yuanfeng, this is a major undertaking to unify Hong Huang. How can you let the wishes of a fetus decide?"

"Besides, the Crown Prince's movements in your belly could mean that he agrees!"

"Could you perhaps think it over again?"

Rahu pressed on.

The Phoenix Clan's Great Experts nearby were also anxious, and they were just about to add their own pleas.

But at that very moment.

Yuanfeng's languid voice rang out again...

"You old coot, you're such a pain. I'll make sure you give up on this."

After a pause.

Yuanfeng called out to her belly.

"Son, you're listening, right?"

"If you want the Phoenix Clan to leave seclusion and fight for supremacy, move once. If you don't, move twice!"

As soon as the words left her mouth.

"Thump! Thump!"

Two familiar thuds rang out.

Rahu: "..."

Rahu was so furious that his aura surged violently. He nearly revealed his true form.

After a long while.

Rahu finally managed to steady his breathing and was about to try persuading her again.

But before he could speak.

Yuanfeng, who had been lounging lazily, suddenly sat bolt upright.

Her phoenix eyes fixed on Rahu as the formidable aura of a mid-stage Primordial Golden Immortal pressed down hard upon him.

"Heavenly Mandate Daoist, if you dare say another word..."

"I'll make sure you never leave the Southern Ming Undying Volcano!"

Rahu, furious and resentful, flew out of the Southern Ming Undying Volcano.

"Yuanfeng, and the fetus in your belly..."

"I will never spare you!"

Rahu ground his teeth, swearing to himself.

For Rahu.

This trip to the Phoenix Clan had ended in utter defeat!
