In truth, Lin Yu meant well, after all, the sins committed by the Black-Robed High Priest were against the Heavenly Dao.
The Heavenly Dao hasn't taken action to punish them now isn't because Heavenly Dao's unaware, but because it needs to accumulate enough sins Heavenly Dao will act personally.
However, if that time comes, the black-robed high priest probably won't even be able to save his own life.
Let's look at what the Black-Robed High Priest has done over the years. First, he used the fragments of the Heaven-Mending Stone to set up a barrier for his own purposes, and then guided the fragments to absorb too much power. Not only that, he also mixed impurities into the fragments!
All of this clearly placed a great burden on the future fusion of the fragments used to mend the heavens.
If the fragments of the Heaven-Mending Patch cannot be fused together, it will be an even greater blow to the Dao Qi Era, which will face the forces of darkness in the future.
Fortunately, Lin Yu discovered it in time and stopped the black-robed high priest before he could make a serious mistake.
Moreover, Lin Yu painstakingly created a cataclysmic disaster for the black-robed high priest to enter and undergo trials, only in this way could he offset all the wrongdoings he had committed before.
How could the young people of the Phoenix Clan see through the surface to this essence? In their eyes, Lin Yu was nothing more than an irredeemable villain!
If he hadn't intervened, the black-robed high priest would have been fine.
If he hadn't broken into the Phoenix Tomb, the peace that the Phoenix Clan had maintained for so many years wouldn't have vanished in an instant.
"First he attacked the High Priest, then he stole the Phoenix's essence blood, and now he's trying to mislead the Phoenix Lord. This kid should be atoning for his sins!" The young man from the Phoenix Clan thought indignantly.
Lin Yu naturally knew what he was thinking, but he could only shake his head helplessly. He couldn't talk to Xia Chong about ice simply because Xia Chong, with his limited knowledge, couldn't even imagine the existence of winter.
If he listens to the young man from the Phoenix Clan and releases the black-robed high priest, then everything he did before will have been in vain.
In the future, the black-robed high priest will still need to be punished by the Heavenly Dao.
"You little rascal, you're really single-minded. You've clearly developed intelligence, but I see you as no different from those stupid, idiotic monsters."
"We've already exchanged blows, haven't we? Don't you understand that with my strength, obtaining phoenix essence blood from the phoenix clan is such a difficult task?"
"The reason I came to the Phoenix Tomb first was because I was unwilling to kill any living beings."
"You may be able to destroy the essence blood within the Phoenix Tomb, but what about your living people? Are you going to kill them all, just to prevent me from extracting the essence blood?"
Lin Yu said calmly, his words striking the hearts of the young people of the Phoenix Clan like a hammer blow.
"Moreover, with my strength, even if you were to kill your own people... believe me, I'm confident I can obtain the Phoenix's essence blood before they die."
"What you just said only exposed your ignorance and naivety; you actually thought you could threaten me with something so trivial."
The young man from the Phoenix Clan gradually realized that this made sense!
If the other party truly harbored ill intentions and was solely focused on obtaining the Phoenix's essence blood, why would someone with their strength bother coming to the Phoenix Tomb?
Wouldn't it be easier to simply kill one of your own kind and extract its essence blood?
They are all essence and blood. What is the difference between the essence and blood in a tomb and the essence and blood in one's own people? It seems that the only difference is between killing and not killing.
In the eyes of a powerful figure like Lin Yu, such a minor difference might not even exist.
For a moment, the young man from the Phoenix Clan felt completely dazed, as if his worldview had been greatly impacted, and stared blankly in the direction where Lin Yu was.
"Stop teasing him. This little guy is so stubborn. He won't understand if you keep teasing him; he'll just keep arguing with you," Feng Nianzhi said slowly.
Lin Yu smiled slightly upon hearing this. He thought to himself, "You, Lord Phoenix, are quite insightful. Yet you just watched this young man from the Phoenix Clan argue with you without saying a word!"
Upon hearing Feng Nianzhi's words, the young members of the Phoenix Clan immediately turned their shocked gazes towards her.
His words were truly heartfelt; he couldn't believe that Lin Yu, whom he considered utterly wicked, could receive such high praise from the Phoenix Lord.
"Lord Phoenix, you wouldn't have fallen victim to this brat's Origin Technique, would you?" the young man from the Phoenix Clan asked in disbelief.
The Phoenix Lord is behaving very strangely today!
It wasn't that outsiders hadn't visited the Phoenix Clan before, but what's happening now is unprecedented.
Upon hearing this, Feng Nianzhi smiled, seemingly knowing what the young people of the Phoenix Clan were thinking.
"Don't worry, I'm still me, and I haven't been influenced by any spiritual forces."
"Alright, alright. I'll listen to you and not bother with this kid." Lin Yu sighed and said, "However, I still need to make it clear that I'm here to obtain a drop of phoenix essence blood, and I'll trouble you to fetch it for me personally."
"I have seen it. It's really not easy for an outsider like me to walk among the tombs of your Phoenix Clan!"
Feng Nianzhi nodded upon hearing this, then turned to the young man from the Phoenix Clan and said, "Alright, go and fetch a drop of Phoenix essence blood."
"But... but Your Majesty, the High Priest might still be in this guy's hands. If something happens to him, we're doomed! We don't even know if this kid is friend or foe right now. Your Majesty, please consider this carefully!" The young man from the Phoenix Clan said unwillingly.
For cultivators outside the clan, the Phoenix Essence Blood has immense value. If Lin Yu harbors ill intentions and uses the Lin Yu Essence Blood to do something bad, it would be a defamation and a serious injury to the Phoenix clan.
If they violate the Heavenly Dao, the Phoenix Clan and Lin Yu might have to share the punishment from Heavenly Dao.
Other matters are manageable, but if the matter involves the Heavenly Dao, then the already precarious Phoenix Clan will be finished!
Upon hearing this, Feng Nianzhi pointed, and a miniature phoenix flew out and landed on the head of the young man from the phoenix clan.
The miniature phoenix is incredibly cute, bearing a striking resemblance to a regular phoenix, only smaller in size.
After the little phoenix landed on his head, it kept slapping the young phoenix's head with its wings, catching him off guard.
"I am the Phoenix Lord, are you unwilling to listen to what I have to say?"
