If Jiu Ying really went back...
He would have the Phoenix Clan and the Beast Emperor Palace as two mighty mountains at his back.
Compared with returning to the Demon Heavenly Court to toil away, which would he choose?
Anyone would know to choose the Phoenix Clan.
After all, within the Phoenix Clan...

But Di Jun's reluctance to let him go was normal too.
After all, the Demon Race had spent so many resources...
