If the members of the Phoenix Clan were to see the black-robed high priest's expression right now, they would likely be greatly surprised.
After all, although the black-robed high priest usually had a stern and unsmiling demeanor, he was, after all, an elder and senior figure who was quite caring towards the younger generation of the Phoenix Clan. When had he ever revealed such an oppressive aura?
Lin Yu was unconcerned by the black-robed high priest's expression of wanting to devour him alive; he even idly picked at his ear.
Seeing Lin Yu's nonchalant expression, the black-robed high priest's anger intensified. This kid really does have some skills!
"I never imagined that after all these years, someone would actually be able to come out of there." The old man in black robes spoke slowly, his eyes filled with inquiry as he looked at Lin Yu.
"Who exactly are you? How could you possibly possess such power? If anyone in this Dao Qi era could possess such power, I should have heard of them long ago. Why have I never heard of you before?"
Lin Yu glanced at the black-robed high priest who still had the nerve to question him, speechless. He had no intention of answering the question at all, but simply spoke coldly.
"There are nine fragments of the Heaven-Mending Fragment in total, one of which fell into the Phoenix Ancestral Sea."
"While there's nothing wrong with making the best use of resources, your Phoenix Clan has used such despicable methods to confine it here, turning it into a barrier, and making the fragments of the Heaven-Mending Stone specifically devour living beings for your Phoenix Clan."
"In this way, the accuracy of the Heaven-Mending Fragments will decrease. If the Dao Qi era encounters a great calamity later, how will we have the power to fight against it?"
"With such wanton destruction of the fragments used to mend the heavens, what do you tell me I should do to uphold justice?"
Lin Yu's gaze toward the black-robed high priest was icy, devoid of any warmth whatsoever.
If Lin Yu could previously laugh off the black-robed high priest's relentless pursuit, Lin Yu's use of the Heaven-Mending Fragment.
The black-robed high priest's greatest folly was that he personally sent Lin Yu into that desert.
Originally, due to the puppetry technique, Lin Yu performed a spatial jump, directly passing through the yellow sand and landing in the territory of the Phoenix Clan.
If the black-robed high priest hadn't caused trouble, Lin Yu wouldn't have had the chance to step into the barrier of the Yellow Sand Land. However, it was precisely because the black-robed high priest went to great lengths to get Lin Yu into the Yellow Sand Land that the following events occurred.
The black-robed high priest was unaware that his actions had clearly backfired, a consequence of his own cleverness.
Despite Lin Yu's barrage of questions, the black-robed high priest's expression remained unchanged, as if what Lin Yu was saying was completely unimportant, or perhaps he showed no remorse whatsoever for his actions.
"Who exactly are you, and how did you manage to acquire this fragment of the Heaven-Mending Stone?" The black-robed high priest continued to press Lin Yu about his actions.
The Phoenix Clan had considered taking all the fragments of the Heaven-Mending Fragment for their own use, but even the strongest member of the Phoenix Clan was powerless against them.
Therefore, the plan was shelved.
However, at this moment, the black-robed high priest watched helplessly as Lin Yu fulfilled the wish they had wanted to achieve for many years but had not been able to, and his eyes were practically bloodshot with rage.
"You already knew who I am, didn't you?" Lin Yu sneered and said calmly.
Lin Yu spoke these words with great confidence, but in reality, he had no idea what he was talking about. His intention was simply to bluff the black-robed high priest.
Unexpectedly, the black-robed high priest gritted his teeth upon hearing this and said, "Could it be that you are the one prophesied to change the destiny of heaven?"
These words truly took Lin Yu by surprise. For a moment, he didn't know how to respond, so he could only put on a profound expression and wait for the black-robed high priest to figure it out himself.
Unexpectedly, Lin Yu remained silent, and the black-robed high priest, as if Lin Yu had acknowledged his identity, looked at Lin Yu with a much more complicated expression.
Even Lin Yu was completely baffled by the current situation, so he could only call upon the system in his mind.
"System, analyze what exactly this black-robed high priest is saying!"
"Ding... Simulation in progress... Simulation in progress... Simulation in progress..."
"Ding! Deduction successful! (Click to view details!)"
"View details!" Lin Yu said hurriedly, while complaining to the system, "What kind of time is this? Why are you still taking your time to let me view the details?"
Couldn't this system be a little smarter and just pop up the detailed information directly?
As Lin Yu finished speaking, all the information immediately unfolded within the Sea of Spirit.
It turns out that as early as the Dao Qi era, there were prophecies that a natural disaster would occur, but this prophecy had always existed, yet it had never come to pass.
This led many monks to believe that it was a false prophecy.
The disaster corresponds to a savior, and it is said that only the savior can subdue the fragments of the sky-mending technique.
"If there truly is a savior, could it be that the calamities of the Dao Qi era really did exist?" the black-robed high priest wondered to himself.
For most cultivators in the Dao Qi era, the so-called great calamity was like the story of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf," something they had heard since childhood but had never actually happened, making it seem somewhat unrealistic!
Therefore, although most monks knew about this prophecy, they never actually took it to heart.
Lin Yu looked at the furious black-robed high priest, while also making his own assessment.
Should I settle this score myself, or not?
The personal grudge between himself and the Black-Robed High Priest was a minor matter. Although the Black-Robed High Priest had caused him a lot of trouble these past few days while he was in the Phoenix Clan's territory, it was nothing to Lin Yu.
After all, even if the black-robed high priest exerted all his strength, he couldn't cause any harm to himself.
This is a small matter; it's not a problem to overlook it.
But seeing that the fragments of the Heaven-Mending Stone were almost destroyed by this black-robed high priest, and that he showed no sign of repentance, Lin Yu was not going to let it go.
"As I just said, you have wantonly destroyed the ancient artifacts, not only attempting to seize them for your own use, but also guiding their intelligence towards evil paths, which is a grave mistake for the main city."
"If I hadn't arrived in time, this fragment of the Heaven-Mending Stone would have been completely destroyed in the hands of your Phoenix Clan."
"If a calamity were to occur in the future, the consequences would be unimaginable."
