Seeing that Feng Nianzhi had no intention of paying attention to him anymore, Lin Yu had no choice but to walk in the direction she pointed.
Everything happened logically, yet with a hint of absurdity. Lin Yu slowly walked forward.
Being in a tomb, one inevitably carries an aura of sadness and solemnity.
No one told Lin Yu about the Phoenix Tomb; it was a result that Lin Yu deduced through the Hongmeng System.
Lin Yu didn't use any special methods; he simply asked the system where he could obtain the essence blood of the Phoenix Clan.
Of all the methods provided by the system, this one is clearly the easiest to implement.
Although the phoenix at the entrance has turned into wood, according to the system's deductions, there are still some phoenix remains in this phoenix tomb.
Lin Yu intended to find a few drops of phoenix essence blood from those remains.
This was the most humanitarian method Lin Yu could think of.
At this moment, the black-robed high priest said nothing more, because he already understood Lin Yu's intentions, but he was still filled with helplessness.
If I were stronger, I could protect my predecessor's remains...
Unfortunately, I am incompetent!
Right now, the person the black-robed high priest hates most is himself.
However, he forgot one thing: Lin Yu was not someone he could defeat simply by becoming stronger.
Lin Yu, of course, did not correct the black-robed high priest's intentions; he continued walking forward.
After walking for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the scenery in front of us hadn't changed much; it was still lush and green. But then a cold, sharp voice rang out.
"Who dares to trespass on the sacred burial grounds of my Phoenix Clan?!"
That familiar opening line!
If Lin Yu remembered correctly, the black-robed high priest had said something similar when he first met him!
It seems this is a unique language habit formed by the ancient phoenix clan? As long as they open their mouths, their tone is bound to be impolite.
However, Lin Yu couldn't blame the ancient Phoenix Clan for this. After all, it goes without saying that an outsider would go to the Phoenix Tomb.
If you said you were just here to sweep the graves, probably no one would believe you!
"I've already gone this far, what can you do to me?" Lin Yu said arrogantly, though he was somewhat dissatisfied.
It was clearly that little girl Feng Nianzhi who brought me here. I was wondering why she was just standing at the door pointing me in the right direction without coming in. Turns out she was waiting for me here.
Feng Nianzhi's meaning was quite clear: You want to come to the Phoenix Tomb, right? Sure, this Phoenix Lord will take you there.
However, that is, after all, the tomb of my ancestor. It is impossible for me, as the Phoenix Lord of the Phoenix Clan, to personally watch you dig up the grave.
If you want to do something, go ahead and do it yourself. As long as I, the Phoenix Lord, don't see it, I'll pretend it never happened!
Of course, Feng Nianzhi did not intend to inform these fellow clansmen beforehand. After all, as the Phoenix Lord of the Phoenix Clan, it was already shameful enough to bring outsiders to his own ancestral tomb.
It didn't take long for Lin Yu to figure out the intricacies of the situation. He felt utterly helpless. This Feng Nianzhi may look young, but she is just as shrewd as adults like him!
"Ding! Notification: The system has detected a living being ahead!"
The system notification suddenly rang in Lin Yu's mental sea. Lin Yu looked around and saw nothing but trees and rows of stone statues.
Since we didn't see any live individuals as indicated by the system, there's only one possibility.
Those so-called living beings might just be these stone statues!
After all, based on Lin Yu's observations of the ancient phoenix clan over the past few days, they were a race that valued pomp, ritual, and face. They really had no need to place these inanimate stones in the tomb to create a disturbance.
"Hehe, bring it on." Lin Yu chuckled, already standing outside the barrier, his aura suddenly erupting.
Upon hearing Lin Yu's words, a phoenix clansman with red hair and red eyes suddenly landed in front of Lin Yu, with a silver-white mark on the center of his forehead.
When the Phoenix Clan members appeared, it caused an earth-shattering commotion.
"Boom... Boom... Boom..."
The lines in the center of his forehead lit up, and the lifeless stone statues around him seemed to receive some command in an instant, and began to transform little by little.
"Click... click... click..."
That was the sound of stones shattering; the stone statues, which had just seemed lifeless, had all come to life.
"I advise you to leave immediately, this place is a forbidden area of my Phoenix Clan," the Phoenix Clan member said coldly, as guarding the Phoenix Tomb was his duty.
"I've already sent the signal. My high priest will arrive shortly. If you continue forward, I guarantee you'll die a horrible death," the phoenix clansman continued arrogantly.
Lin Yu: "..."
The Phoenix High Priest in Lin Yu's sleeve. "..."
"I'm sorry, my people, for betraying you!" the Phoenix High Priest whispered to himself.
Lin Yu was also quite speechless. He thought to himself, "Sorry, brother, your Phoenix High Priest has already been locked in the World-Destroying Calamity in my sleeve to undergo his tribulation. He won't be coming over at all. I'm sorry to disappoint you!"
However, seeing the other party's confident and arrogant demeanor, Lin Yu felt too embarrassed to speak.
He worried that if he took the Cube of Cataclysm directly out of his sleeve, the opponent would immediately lose the will to fight.
"Scared now?!" Seeing that Lin Yu didn't make a move, the Phoenix Clan member assumed that Lin Yu was afraid.
Lin Yu shook his head helplessly and continued to explain, "No, that's not the case."
"Let me make it clear beforehand, I'm only here to obtain a drop of phoenix essence blood, not to kill any living beings."
"If you give it to me smoothly, everything will be fine. But if you insist on not giving it, don't blame me for being impolite."
"Ahem, well... let me clarify beforehand, I've already spoken to your Phoenix Lord and the Phoenix High Priest about this!"
At the end, Lin Yu coughed awkwardly.
The credibility of this statement is really too low. That little brat Feng Nianzhi is really something. On the surface, she seems to be cooperating, but in reality, apart from pointing out a direction, she doesn't seem to have done anything else!
If she really intended to cooperate, she should have accompanied him in personally!
And the phoenix high priest hidden in the sleeve was the same; he was shouting and yelling just now, unwilling to stop, but now that he saw his people, he instantly became mute.
This put Lin Yu in a dilemma. Feng Nianzhi and the Phoenix High Priest were certain he wouldn't do anything to their people, right?
Do they all think Lin Yu has a good temper and is easy to bully?!
Lin Yu kept thinking about two people.
