"Hey, you old codger, you're so narcissistic! Look now, none of your clansmen even noticed you were missing!" Lin Yu couldn't help but sigh.
After all this time, it seems that although this black-robed high priest is exceptionally powerful among the Phoenix Clan, his presence doesn't seem to be very strong!
These words clearly struck a nerve with the black-robed high priest, who had been obediently staying in the midst of the cataclysmic disaster, and he could no longer sit still.
"Ignorant child, what do you know?!" the black-robed high priest retorted defiantly.
As the highest-ranking black-robed high priest in the Phoenix Clan, he usually maintains a cold and aloof persona. Not only that, he sometimes goes into seclusion to cultivate, sometimes for ten days or half a year at a time. Therefore, the clansmen have long been used to not seeing him.
That is why none of the Phoenix Clan cultivators had any objections to the disappearance of the black-robed high priest.
Lin Yu: "..."
He had been worried about how much of an impact this would have on the Phoenix Clan, but now it seems there was no impact at all!
With these thoughts in mind, Lin Yu walked outside.
If he remembered correctly, the Phoenix Lord, Feng Nianzhi, often stayed in that place.
Although imprisoned in the cataclysmic disaster by Lin Yu, the black-robed high priest still left a portion of his spiritual power outside to perceive Lin Yu's actions.
In the eyes of the black-robed high priest, if the Phoenix Clan were attacked during his absence, he would fight Lin Yu to the death.
Prior to this, Lin Yu had promised him that he would help him resolve the invasions encountered by the Phoenix Clan during this period.
However, the black-robed high priest still did not believe Lin Yu's guarantee. When he sensed the direction of Lin Yu's movement, the entire small cube trembled.
"Don't harm the Phoenix Lord!" came the aged voice of the black-robed high priest. "Dare to harm the Phoenix Lord, and I will fight you to the death!"
Lin Yu felt utterly helpless, thinking, "You're already in this state, even if you fight me to the death, what chance do you have?"
On the other hand, this black-robed high priest was indeed loyal, and it wasn't in vain that he spared her life.
"Don't worry," Lin Yu replied, then waved his hand, completely silencing the black-robed high priest.
The black-robed high priest during the cataclysmic disaster. "..."
There was nothing particularly special about why he did this; it was simply because Lin Yu had left his room and come to the path of the Phoenix Clan.
Lin Yu himself was also considering the matter of the phoenix blood essence.
After learning about the current situation of the Phoenix Clan, Lin Yu decided he would never consider personally taking the Phoenix Essence Blood, as it would be too inhumane for him to do so.
However, if he could unlock some of the system's permissions, it would greatly help his future actions, so Lin Yu decided to go out and try his luck.
The only certainty is that Lin Yu will not easily harm Feng Nianzhi now.
Lin Yu continued walking forward. In fact, ever since Feng Nianzhi brought him back to the Phoenix Clan's habitat, Lin Yu had hardly left the vicinity of his residence.
On the one hand, it was to reassure the high priest in black robes, and on the other hand, it was to reassure the other members of the Phoenix Clan.
As it turned out, this had no effect on the former, but it had a fairly good effect on the latter.
Lin Yu walked through the Phoenix Clan's habitat and saw that the place was beautiful with clear waters and lush mountains, and abundant with spiritual energy. No wonder the Phoenix Clan chose this place as their habitat.
Lin Yu sighed as he walked forward, and within an hour he encountered the person he wanted to see.
Feng Nianzhi.
That little girl from that day.
As if sensing Lin Yu's arrival, Feng Nianzhi turned around the moment Lin Yu walked over.
It's worth mentioning that Feng Nianzhi was sitting on a tree branch at this moment.
The phoenix perches on the parasol tree; the ancients were right.
"You've come." When Feng Nianzhi saw Lin Yu walking towards her, she jumped down directly from the tree branch. Her tone was calm, as if she had known Lin Yu was coming back all along.
Looking into those big eyes, Lin Yu was momentarily at a loss for words.
According to the high priest in black robes, Feng Nianzhi, as the Phoenix Lord, should have no memories of her past after her rebirth, but now she seems to know everything.
"Ahem, long time no see," Lin Yu said somewhat awkwardly.
How can I explain my sudden visit to her?
"Only three days," Feng Nianzhi said calmly, her gaze falling on Lin Yu's sleeve.
That was the place where the black-robed high priest was kept, but Lin Yu had concealed the traces of it.
Logically speaking, Feng Nianzhi shouldn't be able to sense the existence of that black cube, but now, her beautiful red eyes seemed to pierce through Lin Yu's clothes, fixing their gaze directly on it.
Lin Yu frowned, about to say something, but Feng Nianzhi looked away first.
The little girl acted as if she were one of her own people, as if she hadn't even noticed that the black-robed high priest was missing.
"What brings you here?" Feng Nianzhi asked, raising her eyes. "Are you leaving?"
Lin Yu's excuse for staying was that he was too weak and wanted to stay and recuperate for a while, which is why Feng Nianzhi took him in.
Lin Yu was standing in front of her now, completely unharmed, and at least to the naked eye, he showed no signs of weakness.
If these words were spoken by any other cultivator, they would be a blatant order to leave. However, in front of Feng Nianzhi, Lin Yu pretended not to understand without changing his expression.
"Ahem, Feng Nianzhi, or rather, Lord Feng?" Lin Yu squatted down, bringing his gaze level with Feng Nianzhi's.
Feng Nianzhi's fiery red eyes were reflected in Lin Yu's eyes, and they had an indescribable clarity, as if the world was truly transparent in her eyes.
In a hazy state, Lin Yu sensed that Feng Nianzhi seemed to know something.
But Lin Yu couldn't quite explain what he knew.
Did he know his own identity, or did he know that the Black-Robed High Priest was now in his hands?
But if the girl knew, why didn't she say anything?
"Feng Nianzhi is fine," Feng Nianzhi said calmly.
One sentence brought Lin Yu back to his senses.
"Alright, Feng Nianzhi. I came here today to ask you where the cemetery of your Phoenix clan is located," Lin Yu said.
These words were like a bolt from the blue, but Feng Nianzhi remained calm.
