Yet precisely because of this, Kunpeng found it even stranger!
It was not only Kunpeng. Many people throughout the Primordial World found it strange as well!
First, how had the Immortal Heavenly Emperor ended up wandering outside? After all, everyone knew of the Phoenix Clan's unity and customs! Yet precisely because they knew, it was strange that such a powerful Phoenix as the Immortal Heavenly Emperor had not returned to his clan and had instead remained adrift outside! Had the Phoenix Clan never noticed?
Second, why would a powerhouse like the Immortal Heavenly Emperor pledge loyalty to Ren? Even stranger, why did powerhouses like Ye Fan, Wang Bo, and Jiang Taixu all follow Ren?
Many people racked their brains without finding an answer and could only stare at the Immortal Heavenly Emperor.
At that moment, the Phoenix Clan within the Undying Volcano also felt utterly baffled and unsettled!
For example, the Phoenix Ancestor, using flames to burn and form an image, stared fixedly at the Immortal Heavenly Emperor and muttered, "Though he feels somewhat unfamiliar, neither his aura nor Origin is wrong. This Immortal Heavenly Emperor truly is from our Phoenix Clan! But for such a clansman to have wandered outside all this time, none of you noticed?"
Rare anger appeared on the Phoenix Ancestor's face as he stared at the many clansmen below!
If he had merely been an ordinary clansman, the Phoenix Ancestor would not have been so furious! But judging from the Immortal Heavenly Emperor's strength and talent, as well as his prolonged battle with Kunpeng, how could the Phoenix Ancestor fail to realize that the Immortal Heavenly Emperor's strength was absolutely second only to his own within the clan? It could be said that the Immortal Heavenly Emperor was the second-ranked member of the Phoenix Clan
