The black-robed high priest knelt before Lin Yu, practically sobbing uncontrollably. Lin Yu, however, scratched his head awkwardly, unsure of what to do.
"Ah, High Priest, why are you being so polite... Hey, please rise!" Lin Yu said earnestly.
Looking at the black-robed high priest in his current state, it's hard to imagine that this guy had just vowed to test him and kill him.
Lin Yu sighed inwardly at how "things have changed," and helped the black-robed high priest to his feet.
In fact, Lin Yu had already successfully completed his mission in the Phoenix Ancestral Sea when he obtained the essence blood of the ancient phoenix. He had obtained everything he was supposed to, and even had some unexpected gains.
Lin Yu could sense that he was one step closer to the truth of the fantasy world.
Compared to the small Phoenix Ancestral Sea, there are still many things outside that Lin Yu needs to do and resolve, and the Hongmeng Ranking still needs his work...
In short, Lin Yu could have easily left after achieving his goal, but he didn't. Instead, he chose to stay and help the ancient phoenix clan overcome their difficulties.
Not only that, Lin Yu also plans to step in and help solve this problem. This is truly a generous offer!
Phoenix Ancestral Sea is merely an extremely secluded place, not a place where Lin Yu should stay for long. Lin Yu's wish is to completely imprint his name in every space of the fantasy world.
However, because of his previous promise to the ancient Phoenix Clan, Lin Yu couldn't just leave without a word.
After all, it was through this promise that Lin Yu successfully obtained the essence blood of the ancient Phoenix Clan!
In fact, protecting Feng Nianzhi from harm is already a pretty good wish.
"There's nothing I can do, what can I do when I'm so kind-hearted?" Lin Yu shrugged to himself.
Before arriving at the Ancient Phoenix Clan, Lin Yu could hardly imagine that the Ancient Phoenix Clan was in such a dangerous situation, almost facing a life-or-death crisis, and the entire clan was probably in a state of panic, living in constant fear.
The ancient phoenix clan was leaderless, and it was unlikely that they could hold out for long.
Even if we don't solve the problem of the seal, we still need to find a way to remove it from Feng Nianzhi's body.
To put it bluntly, if Feng Nianzhi cannot restore her divine power, she will not be able to awaken the power of the ancient phoenix clan, and the extinction of the ancient phoenix clan will only be a matter of time.
To ensure the entire process went smoothly, Lin Yu specially set up a small barrier before officially receiving the blessing.
The entire barrier, including Feng Nianzhi herself and the black-robed high priest, was personally created by Lin Yu. It is no exaggeration to say that in the entire Dao Qi era, it is probably impossible to find any barrier whose power can surpass that of the one Lin Yu has set up.
With the protection of the barrier, the three people can be completely isolated from external dangers.
Although such a situation is extremely rare, cultivators who are able to break into the ancient phoenix clan at this time would not be able to get in without some skill.
The main reason Lin Yu created this seal was to guard against the mysterious force that had been hiding in the shadows—the force that had placed the seal on Feng Nianzhi.
Now that the enemy is in the shadows while we are in the open, Lin Yu has no choice but to consider this situation.
An unknown force was eyeing Feng Nianzhi covetously and would definitely not let her go so easily. The figure of Lin Yu removed the seal from Feng Nianzhi's body.
The reason why it didn't cause much of a commotion last time was mainly because Lin Yu was testing the waters and didn't actually shake the seal itself.
However, this time, Lin Yu had a different plan. This time, he intended to completely shake the seal and dismantle the power within it.
If, over the years, everyone had focused their attention on the ancient Phoenix Clan, they wouldn't have stood idly by when they saw Lin Yu's actions.
The protective barrier set up by Lin Yu was equivalent to providing double protection.
The high priest in black robes reinforced his own protective barrier, silently shouldering the responsibility of guarding.
Having completed all the preparations, Lin Yu sat cross-legged, took out the Heaven-Mending Fragment from his storage space, placed it in his palm, and then activated his spiritual power to make the Heaven-Mending Fragment's power circulate.
Feng Nianzhi sat there, staring innocently at Lin Yu and the black-robed high priest with her big eyes.
However, beneath that adorable face, Lin Yu could tell that, as the Phoenix Lord, Feng Nianzhi could sense the mysterious power within the Heaven-Mending Fragment.
"Buzz... buzz... buzz..."
As Lin Yu activated his spiritual power, a sliver of light emanated from within the Heaven-Mending Fragment, almost illuminating Feng Nianzhi's eyes.
From the perspective of the black-robed high priest, it was clear that Feng Nianzhi's previously lifeless eyes seemed to have suddenly become much more spirited, and her previously pale complexion seemed to have improved considerably under Lin Yu's spiritual power.
Nevertheless, the black-robed high priest was still extremely nervous. After Lin Yu's earlier remarks, it would be a lie to say that he wasn't worried about his Phoenix Lord at all!
"My Lord Phoenix, you may feel a little unwell, please bear with it," Lin Yu said with a serious expression.
Removing the seal from Feng Nianzhi's body is definitely not a simple matter, especially since this seal has been with Feng Nianzhi for a long time.
As the Phoenix Lord of the ancient Phoenix Clan, Feng Nianzhi actually had no other choice but to be strong.
Only in this way can the ancient phoenix clan be led back to its original position.
Upon hearing this, Feng Nianzhi nodded and said seriously, "Brother Lin Yu, just go ahead and solve it. I can handle it!"
This statement naturally contained a hint of boasting, but it undoubtedly also expressed Feng Nianzhi's determination.
Feng Nianzhi believed that Lin Yu would never do anything to harm her. Although she hadn't known Lin Yu for long, Feng Nianzhi could tell from her intuition that Lin Yu was a good person!
In a sense, Feng Nianzhi's trust in Lin Yu even exceeded her trust in the Black-Robed High Priest!
Lin Yu smiled after hearing Feng Nianzhi's words. Once everything was ready, Lin Yu began to guide the power of the Heaven-Mending Fragment into Feng Nianzhi's body.
Unlike the cautious probing last time, this time Lin Yu had already grasped some information, so his subordinates' actions were naturally much more efficient, and the process went quite smoothly.
