Banquet for the Three Phoenixes, Borrowing a Tiger's Might

Not long after, the Little Fox brought out a large plate of Little Crispy Fish for everyone.

Looking at the glistening fried Little Crispy Fish and smelling its aroma, the three Phoenix Clan leaders couldn't help but sniff, their appetites whetted.

Judging from its appearance, it can't compare to the delicacies in their Royal Court.

It's said that the Qingqiu Fox Clan's cuisine was learned from Purple Jade Mountain, but now it seems that it wasn't just the foxes giving Purple Jade Mountain face; they simply couldn't compare.

The stir-fried Little Crispy Fish with garlic sprouts was quickly devoured by these three guys, only because they didn't want to bring shame to the Phoenix Clan and restrained their eating speed.

Wu Chu, Hou Tu, and the Houtu two held their wine glasses and watched with smiles.

All creatures who have never tasted the delicacies of Purple Jade Mountain react this way the first time they try them; they are already used to it and find it unsurprising.

However, Wu Chu and the others' appearance made the three big shots of the Phoenix Clan somewhat embarrassed.

Of course, Great Wind remained as cool as ever. After finishing the Little Crispy Fish, he silently picked up his wine glass and drank without saying a word, maintaining his aloofness to the very end.

Feng Li closed her eyes, seemingly savoring the taste from just now.

Only Qingluan Fengqing gracefully wiped the corner of her lips with a handkerchief and smiled, "I'm sorry for making you three laugh. The delicacies of Ziyu Mountain truly live up to their reputation. I used to think that the Qingqiu Daoists were just being modest, trying to save face for Ziyu Mountain."

Wu Chu smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Feng Qing, there's no need to be so polite. To be honest, most beings who have never tasted the delicacies of Purple Jade Mountain are like this, including some elders even more ancient than Ancestral Phoenix, such as Elder Yin Yang and Elder Long-Brow Eyebrows..."

Originally, when Huo Fengfeng heard Wu Chu mention their parents, she was a little angry, feeling that Wu Chu was being impolite, and at the same time, she was also somewhat unconvinced.

After all, in this Primordial World, how many creatures are even older than their parents!

But upon hearing the names of the Yin-Yang Ancestor and the Ancestor Yang Mei, he silently swallowed back the words he was about to utter. Those two were indeed much older than their parents.

In fact, they were well aware that there were quite a few beings in this Primordial Land who were even older than their parents. Some of these ancient monsters were so powerful that even their parents were unwilling to offend them.

They never expected that Purple Jade Mountain had actually hosted those old monsters.

When the Three Clans carried out a comprehensive purge of all living beings in the Primordial World, the Phoenix Clan did not touch Purple Jade Mountain, out of respect for the Qingqiu Clan.

But now it seems we not only have to give face to the Qingqiu Clan, but also to those old monsters! What if they want to eat delicious food again in the future, go to Purple Jade Mountain, only to find that Purple Jade Mountain has been taken over by the Phoenix Clan? Wouldn't that be...?

Feng Li opened her eyes and glanced at Wu Chu.

He had been puzzled before as to why Xi'er would take a liking to this unremarkable little fellow, but now it seems that Xi'er has good taste!

Little did Wu Chu know that he was merely using the two patriarchs' reputation to prevent the three phoenix children from trying to abduct Little Moon Spirit after enjoying the delicious food.

To everyone's surprise, Feng Li's father-in-law actually found himself growing to like him more and more. Usually, fathers-in-law dislike their sons-in-law more and more the longer they look at them.

Fortunately, Wu Chu was unaware of this, otherwise he would probably have immediately gone north to find Feng Xi and resolve this troublesome problem.

The second dish was sweet and sour spotted fish. The spotted fish were caught from the Great River; they weren't very big, but they had caught some and tasted them while passing through the Great River. In this Great River, this kind of river fish with black spots is considered one of the more delicious fish.

After the second dish was served, their pace slowed down considerably. Apart from Great Wind, who silently started eating, Qingluan and Fire Phoenix became much more reserved.

As dish after dish was served and empty plates were taken away, Sanfeng's attitude towards them gradually improved, and the false politeness decreased considerably.

Wu Chu also learned from them about the current development direction of the Qilin Clan.

When the Qilin Clan was mentioned, Qingluan told them about the Western Land and the Old Demon who fought the Qilin Ancestor on those Western Land.

Then Qingluan asked Wu Chu, "I heard that the Qilin Clan attacked that old demon because of an ally named Tianmu Daoist. According to our investigation, Tianmu Daoist seems to have had dealings with you before. Is this true?"

Wu Chu nodded and said, "That's true, but I'm not actually very familiar with Tianmu Daoist. I only got to know him because of that little divine beast cub."

Wu Chu pointed to the Little White on the Tower Ship, and then briefly told them about how the demons of Tianmu Mountain had chased after Fu Zhu young Fuzhu cub.

He concluded, "I almost got into a fight with Tianmu Daoist back then, but we resolved it through a discussion of Daoist principles, Tianmu Daoist ultimately gave up on the Fu Zhu cubs. I originally thought I would have another chance to meet him and discuss Daoist principles with him again! Who would have thought that this parting would be like this... Alas!"

Wu Chu's account was almost entirely true, except he concealed the fact that he had given the Azure Dragon Head to the Tianmu Daoist and had deceived Ao Yuan of the Dragon Clan.

Therefore, they didn't suspect that Wu Chu was lying.

Qingluan then asked, "It is said that killing that old demon's disciples will bring Merit from heaven and earth. Their expansion into the Western Land this time is probably for the same purpose. Are you aware of this, fellow Daoist?"

Wu Chu shook his head and said, "I don't know where they're going to expand, but I have heard a little about the Merit of slaying Demon Lord!"

He paused, then couldn't help but laugh again. "I wonder what heinous things that Old Demon did that made him so hated by both heaven and earth that even the heavens and earth couldn't tolerate him. It's truly tragic."

Fire Phoenix chuckled and said, "It's nothing more than disrupting the order of heaven and earth! Just like when Fierce Beasts ravaged the Primordial Land, causing the heavens and earth to collapse, and in the end, the four great emperors had to go to the four extremes to guard them. Back then, there was Merit to be gained for slaying Fierce Beasts."

Upon hearing this, Wu Chu sighed silently to himself.

The Qilin Clan is clearly courting disaster! They're exploiting the Old Demon now, but will Old Demon ever forgive the Qilin Royal Clan in the future?

And they even offended that petty guy, Yuan Shi... tsk tsk tsk...

No wonder the Qilin Clan became extinct; it's almost impossible to find a pure-blooded Qilin Clan in later generations.

This is what happens when you offend too many powerful people!

Looking up at the Phoenix Clan, this clan is actually not much different. In the end, only the Peacock and the Roc remain, and purebred Phoenix are extremely rare.

Tragic, tragic, tragic...

Since they also know the consequences of disrupting the order of the Primordial World, how could they dare to fight so recklessly against the Dragon Clan and the Qilin Clan in the future?

Aren't they afraid of turning into something like the Era of Ferocious Beasts?

Sigh! I really don't understand! Isn't it good to be alive?

Why must there be fighting and killing?
