The young Phoenix Clan were in excruciating pain under Lin Yu's raging flames, writhing and writhing in a wretched state.
His enormous body rolled endlessly within the Phoenix Tomb, but strangely, the flames released by Lin Yu Shi only clung to his body and did not spread.
"That's enough, he already knows he was wrong." A childish voice rang out behind Lin Yu. Lin Yu turned around and saw that it was Feng Nianzhi.
As the Phoenix Lord, he could naturally sense the commotion at the Phoenix Tomb. He figured that the Phoenix Lord must have heard the cries of the young Phoenix Clan and rushed over specifically to investigate.
Since Feng Nianzhi personally intervened, Lin Yu naturally had to give her face. With a wave of his hand, he withdrew the strange flames that were entwined around the young man of the Phoenix Clan.
"Huff... huff... huff..."
The young Phoenix Clan lay on the ground, panting heavily, barely breathing, as if it had no strength left to get up. The entire phoenix was quite pitiful.
Seeing that Phoenix Lord was standing right behind Lin Yu, his eyes revealed deep confusion.
This is the Phoenix Tomb, the most important place for the Ancient Phoenix. How could the Phoenix Lord be here next to this damned fellow?
Thinking about it carefully, how did this kid even get to the Phoenix Tomb in the first place? Why didn't either the Phoenix Lord or the Black-Robed High Priest arrive immediately?
The answer to the question seemed obvious, but the young man from the Phoenix Clan refused to believe it.
"Waaah..." The young man from the Phoenix Clan wanted to ask Feng Nianzhi what had happened, but when he opened his mouth, he let out an uncontrollable sob.
Indeed, under the absolute suppression of power, he couldn't withstand many attacks from Lin Yu. If Lin Yu hadn't withdrawn his divine power, he would have continued to suffer the torment of the flames.
" Feng Nianzhi, do you know this is the beast-taming technique of your Archaic Phoenix Clan?" Lin Yu turned around and looked at the little girl who looked to be only two or three years old.
Feng Nianzhi may look young, but if you were to ask her real age, she might be about the same as Lin Yu.
Upon hearing Lin Yu's question, Feng Nianzhi nodded. As the Phoenix Lord, how could she not know the clan's secrets?
Even before he was born, the Black-Robed High Priest and the other elders of the Archaic Phoenix Clan had already revealed all those secrets.
"Were these spirit beasts turned into puppets while they were still alive?" Lin Yu continued to ask.
He had long noticed that Feng Nianzhi seemed colder than ordinary children, but if that were truly her nature, how could she have saved him in the Phoenix Ancestral Sea?
Lin Yu felt very conflicted.
Feng Nianzhi shook her head and continued, "Although this is the territory of the Phoenix Clan, other races also exist here."
"Our Archaic Phoenix Clan has always maintained a peaceful coexistence with other races, never interfering with each other. We will not use our supreme beast bloodline to exterminate other races."
Even among demonic beasts where strength reigns supreme, there's no need for us to do this.
Feng Nianzhi said calmly, a hint of arrogance emanating from her fiery red eyes.
Lin Yu Feng Nianzhi meant by those words. The reason why they did not exterminate other demon beast races was not out of the mercy of the Archaic Phoenix Clan, but because of their pride that was engraved in their bones.
Compared to the Archaic Phoenix Clan, other races were far too weak, and they didn't even consider them as rivals, which is why they wouldn't take action.
"Then what exactly is going on with these demonic beasts?" Lin Yu asked.
Feng Nianzhi replied, "These demonic beasts died out naturally. We merely preserved their bodies and then trained them into puppets."
"This is the territory of our Phoenix Clan, and everything we do here is for the continuation of the Archaic Phoenix Clan's bloodline."
Feng Nianzhi replied seriously.
Lin Yu nodded upon hearing this. The reality was pretty much as he had estimated. Otherwise, he wouldn't have let the young man from the Phoenix Clan off so easily, and he wouldn't have gone to the trouble of teaching him those principles.
However, seeing the Phoenix Clan youth lying unwillingly on the ground, Lin Yu felt that his lesson today seemed to have been of little use.
The young man from the Phoenix Clan's eyes darted around, and his body unconsciously moved closer to where Feng Nianzhi was.
He was somewhat nervous, as he had exhausted all his spiritual energy and truly had no strength left to protect Lin Yu.
Although he still had many questions about what had just happened, for the Archaic Phoenix Clan, the most important thing was to protect the Phoenix Lord!
Therefore, the young people of the Phoenix Clan did not think much of it and sidled towards Feng Nianzhi.
Looking at the young Phoenix Clan slowly moving beneath his feet, Lin Yu couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy.
It was only a sliver of sympathy, after all, for the young people of the Phoenix Clan, their current predicament was entirely their own fault.
Just like the Black-Robed High Priest in black robes who is now obediently staying in Lin Yu's sleeve, the World-Ending Great Calamity he experienced was actually his way of atoning for his past actions.
" Phoenix Lord... be careful..." the young man from the Phoenix Clan sobbed.
In his eyes, Lin Yu was definitely a dangerous element.
Not only that, he also possessed terrifying power. After a brief moment of thought, he couldn't help but worry that Lin Yu might kidnap Feng Nianzhi.
In a moment of panic, he forced himself to speak despite his weakened state, " My Phoenix Lord, please leave this place as soon as possible! This person is definitely not a good person!"
Upon hearing this, Feng Nianzhi shook her head and said directly to the young man from the Phoenix Clan, "This person is someone I brought here; he's not a bad person."
Upon hearing Feng Nianzhi's words, the young man from the Phoenix Clan nearly coughed up blood.
What's wrong with the Phoenix Lord? If you've been kidnapped, just wink at me!
When Lin Yu arrived, his attitude was extremely tough. He kept demanding the Phoenix Blood Essence, the most precious treasure of their Archaic Phoenix Clan!
And now, the Phoenix Lord is actually telling me that Lin Yu isn't a bad person?!
If Lin Yu isn't considered a bad person, then there are no bad people in this world.
The reason their Archaic Phoenix Clan had been holed up in the Phoenix Ancestral Sea for so many years was because of that damned Heaven-Mending Fragment and those treacherous cultivators, wasn't it?
" Your Phoenix Lord, please see the truth..." the young man from the Phoenix Clan said unwillingly.
