Demon Phoenix froze, then hastily turned and flew back.
Seeing Demon Phoenix looking somewhat bedraggled, Wei Yidao could not help grinning.
"You may withdraw," Huo Lian said after glancing at Wei Yidao and Yan Youwang.
Wei Yidao and Yan Youwang bowed to Huo Lian and left.
Once he realized Huo Lian and the others could no longer hear him, Demon Phoenix could not help complaining, "Old Man Huo is so stingy. Whether one person listens or two, it's still listening. Letting me hear it wouldn't cost him a piece of flesh, would it? What happened ten thousand years ago is just too intriguing. Sigh..."
He had wanted to stay and listen to Huo Lian's conversation with that woman called Shu, but unfortunately, Huo Lian had given him no such opportunity, leaving him thoroughly disgruntled.
"These matters aren't for us to know yet," Wei Yidao said with a faint smile.
He found Demon Phoenix's temperament rather amusing.
Now that he was no longer the Heavenly Demon Hall Master, he suddenly found himself light and carefree without duties weighing him down.
The Hall Master would naturally look after Huang Xiao, so he no longer needed to worry about him.
In that respect, he was rather like Yan Youwang. Now, he could instead devote all his energy to cultivation.
With Huo Lian's guidance as well, his strength had advanced by leaps and bounds.
"Where did those two old monsters suddenly spring from? One is the Fan Family's Ancestor, but who is that other old witch?" Demon Phoenix suddenly asked.
"Old witch?" Wei Yidao paused in surprise.
"That woman is clearly someone from ten thousand years ago too. What is she if not an old witch?" Demon Phoenix said. "Could she be an Ancestor of the Three Great Families from ten thousand years ago?"
