After hearing what Lin Yu said, the black-robed high priest of the ancient phoenix clan felt both amused and exasperated.
The most famous weapon of the ancient Phoenix Clan, the Phoenix True Fire, was completely forgotten by him in his haste—what a huge blunder!
As a phoenix, I have actually forgotten the most important function of the Phoenix True Fire.
After Lin Yu finished his reminder, the black-robed high priest released his Phoenix True Fire.
The scorching flames sprayed out, capable of incinerating everything.
It is said that the phoenix is bathed in flames when it is reborn from the ashes, but in reality, it is the phoenix fire that it is bathed in.
As members of the ancient Phoenix clan, they are born with the ability to use fire-attribute magic, making them unique among all the demon beast clans.
Even if the guard's soul-locking chains were filled with low-level undead or vengeful spirits, the rings, even those treated with special methods, could be easily burned to ashes by the Phoenix True Fire.
This is the power of the Phoenix True Fire, and the very foundation upon which the ancient Phoenix clan was most proud.
As long as the Phoenix True Fire exists, members of the ancient Phoenix clan can be resurrected through Nirvana after suffering fatal injuries.
This is the most important reason why the ancient Phoenix Clan was able to maintain its status as the supreme demon beast clan despite suffering so much damage.
Regarding the seal within Feng Nianzhi's body, even ordinary demonic beasts or cultivators would likely be affected by the seal and devoured by it over the years.
However, Feng Nianzhi was able to maintain her sanity. Although her strength and physical abilities were limited, compared to worse situations, Feng Nianzhi's outcome was quite good.
This is also closely related to the phoenix essence blood within Feng Nianzhi's body.
Phoenix essence blood is a product of the concentrated Phoenix True Fire. As the Phoenix Lord of the ancient Phoenix Clan, Feng Nianzhi's entire body is made of this substance.
Under the burning of the Phoenix True Fire, Feng Nianzhi's soul is not subject to invasion by external evil forces.
After all, a ghost of this level could be completely burned to ashes with just a single phoenix fire.
The dazzling Phoenix True Fire burned fiercely, instantly incinerating countless dark, Spiritual Qi.
Seeing his years of hard work destroyed in an instant, and all because of a cultivator he had previously disregarded, the guard could hardly believe it.
Previously, because the black-robed high priest had not made a move, the guard had lowered his guard. Although he knew that the high priest was from the ancient phoenix clan, he seemed to have forgotten that the high priest could use the Phoenix True Fire.
Looking back now, it seems that the Phoenix True Fire is a skill that every member of the ancient Phoenix clan is born with, except that the intensity of the flame varies depending on the purity of each member's bloodline.
Of course, ordinary cultivators cannot distinguish the intensity of these flames; only members of the ancient Phoenix Clan can discern the subtle differences.
These subtle differences have a huge impact on the level of a demon beast; the purer the bloodline of a demon beast, the more it can suppress demon beasts with less pure bloodlines.
Seeing Lin Yu standing calmly not far from him, the guard's face turned ashen.
Who could have imagined that they would make such a huge blunder?
At this moment, the guard no longer tried to find a place to hide. Putting aside everything else, the fact that the undead mist would be burned to ashes by the Phoenix True Fire as soon as it was released already indicated his current fate.
These necromantic mists originated from the guard's soul-binding chains, and were not inexhaustible. After such a massive expenditure of energy, even the soul-binding chains that the guard had nurtured for countless years were beginning to falter.
Normally, the necromantic mist only needs to be returned to the Soul-Locking Chain after use. Unfortunately, all the necromantic mist has now been burned to ashes by the Phoenix True Fire and cannot be recovered at all.
Since the Soul-Locking Chain was the guard's natal magic weapon, any damage to the chain would cause him a huge backlash.
At this moment, the guard's aura completely gave way.
The guard holding the chains had his plan thwarted, and everything was ruined.
Thinking back to his former formidable strength, a renowned figure throughout the Netherworld Immortal Realm, it's unbelievable that just two cultivators could utterly annihilate him.
"You really are from the ancient Phoenix Clan? But didn't the ancient Phoenix Clan always live in seclusion in the Phoenix Ancestral Sea? Could it be that you defected?!"
The guard holding the chains stared in disbelief at the high priest in black robes.
Although the high priest in black robes had introduced himself from the beginning, the guard didn't actually take it seriously.
Even he, who had always stayed in the Netherworld Immortal Realm, knew the Phoenix Clan's reclusive nature, so he didn't take the black-robed high priest's self-introduction seriously.
In the guard's view, the black-robed high priest at most possessed a portion of the bloodline of the ancient phoenix clan, and was definitely not a true ancient phoenix.
However, the guard did not realize that what the black-robed high priest said was true!
"Why has the ancient Phoenix Clan appeared in my Netherworld Immortal Realm, disturbing the peace of Daoist Shouyang?" the guard asked unwillingly, his eyes turning bloodshot and becoming extremely sharp.
If looks could kill, the black-robed high priest would have been killed countless times by this guard.
Even now, the guard still insists that without the black-robed high priest's Phoenix True Fire, he would have been able to defeat Lin Yu.
The black-robed high priest. "..."
Speechless. In short, utterly speechless.
If I remember correctly, I think I made my intentions clear from the very beginning!
But now it seems that the guard didn't take what he said to heart at all.
But how could someone with such obvious phoenix clan aura be mistaken for an imposter?
The black-robed high priest was momentarily at a loss for words, feeling somewhat regretful that he had initially appeared in the Netherworld Immortal Realm in human form.
If I had known this would happen, I should have appeared here in my original form.
However, looking at the guard's stubborn appearance, even if I appeared in my true form, the guard would probably suspect that it was some kind of illusion.
However, the high priest in black robes still felt somewhat embarrassed by the guard's persistent questioning.
It's one thing if it's outside the world, but I didn't expect that the news of the ancient Phoenix Clan's seclusion had even reached the Netherworld Immortal Realm. It seems that the strategy he chose before was really too cowardly!
