"Actually, Feng Nianzhi isn't staying in the Netherworld Immortal Realm and refusing to return. If necessary, I, the Palace Master, have a way to bring her back," Lin Yu said, seizing an opportunity.
The moment these words were spoken, they immediately attracted the attention of Feng Nianzhi and the black-robed high priest. Their two pairs of fiery red eyes turned at the same time, staring intently at Lin Yu.
Now, not only Feng Nianzhi, but even the black-robed high priest looked at Lin Yu with anticipation.
"What do you mean?" the black-robed high priest asked hastily.
In fact, Lin Yu's words did indeed meet their expectations.
"The Five Elements and Eight Trigrams are used in the residence of Daoist Shouyang, and I happen to know a little about it," Lin Yu said.
In fact, before the black-robed high priest arrived at his residence, he had already released his spiritual power to thoroughly explore the surrounding environment.
It must be said that the array formations within the residence of the Daoist priest of Shouyang are indeed quite complex.
Even if Lin Yu were to do it himself, it would be impossible to replicate each one in ten days or half a month.
However, if this formation were to be set up by Lin Yu, the efficiency would definitely be much higher than that of Daoist Shouyang.
The same formation would take the Daoist of Shouyang hundreds or even thousands of years to set up, but for Lin Yu, it only took a few months.
However, Lin Yu is currently busy dealing with Feng Lingling and Feng Shenlang's affairs, and really cannot expend so much energy to resolve the matter of the ancient phoenix clan.
In this regard, Lin Yu discovered that the black-robed high priest, as an elder of the clan, had a truly deep bond with Feng Nianzhi.
Rather than saying Feng Nianzhi cannot live without the Black-Robed High Priest, it would be more accurate to say that the Black-Robed High Priest cannot live without Feng Nianzhi.
Lin Yu wanted to use this opportunity to help both of them grow.
Only by truly allowing Feng Nianzhi to leave the protection of the Black-Robed High Priest and soar independently for a period of time can her power be further enhanced.
"Then, Fellow Daoist Lin Yu..." Upon hearing Lin Yu's words, the black-robed high priest was filled with anticipation, and his cloudy old eyes shone brightly.
Lin Yu found the black-robed high priest's surprised expression somewhat amusing, and immediately poured cold water on his enthusiasm, saying, "Although I know a little about it, don't get your hopes up too high. Even if I were to set up the same formation in the Phoenix Ancestral Sea, it would take me several years."
"And to be honest, I have other matters to attend to. This time, I've indeed stayed in the Phoenix Ancestral Sea for far too long."
Lin Yu's words immediately caused the black-robed high priest to show a look of disappointment.
Indeed, his previous thoughts were exactly as Lin Yu had described.
If Lin Yu can replicate the formation in the Shouyang Daoist's residence, then replicating one in their Phoenix Ancestral Sea will suffice.
In this way, the safety of Lord Phoenix is guaranteed.
However, Lin Yu's subsequent words clearly shattered the black-robed high priest's illusions.
As for Lin Yu, he knew what the black-robed high priest was thinking, so he deliberately exaggerated the time. In reality, it would take him at most a month to set up an array, not several years.
"Then what do you mean by that?" At this moment, Feng Nianzhi was still pragmatic, knowing that since Lin Yu had spoken up, he must have some other plan.
"Although I can't replicate an exact identical formation, I can replicate a similar one."
"This formation only needs to stay here long enough to fully charge. Then, you can simply take my formation with you and temporarily leave the Netherworld Immortal Realm to return to the Phoenix Ancestral Sea for a few days."
Lin Yu said with a smile that the proposal was naturally welcomed by the black-robed high priest.
Being able to return to the Phoenix Ancestral Sea every now and then is obviously much better than being stuck in the Netherworld Immortal Realm for extended periods without being able to go back.
Upon hearing Lin Yu's words, Feng Nianzhi revealed a mysterious smile on her youthful face.
For a moment, Lin Yu felt that this seemingly small girl had already seen through his thoughts, but simply hadn't said it aloud.
"In that case, I'll have to trouble you, Brother Lin Yu," Feng Nianzhi said to Lin Yu.
Although she noticed the problem, Feng Nianzhi didn't point it out.
Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, but in reality, even if Feng Nianzhi had asked him, he could have just gritted his teeth and said "I don't know." He really didn't know why he had been so nervous just now.
All of this can probably only be attributed to the oppressive aura emanating from the Phoenix Lord emanating from Feng Nianzhi.
"I never imagined that Feng Nianzhi would have such a powerful presence at such a young age. The patriarch of the Supreme Demon Beast Clan is truly extraordinary," Lin Yu thought to himself.
With this, the story of the ancient Phoenix Clan came to a close.
For the high priest in black robes, this was a compromise.
However, he was still somewhat worried about Feng Nianzhi's safety, so he selected a few skilled individuals from the ancient phoenix clan to stay by Feng Nianzhi's side and protect her, which was another matter altogether.
The decision made by the black-robed high priest was met with no opposition from the Daoist priest of Shouyang; he cooperated quite fully.
"Shouyang Daoist is certainly not a truly wicked person. It would be best if you explained the matter of the ancient Phoenix clan's enemies to him. Based on my deduction, these enemies have been lurking in the shadows, waiting for their chance to strike."
"They haven't stopped or given up all these years, so it's best to remind Daoist Shouyang to be more careful."
Lin Yu spoke up.
The high priest in black robes nodded upon hearing this, but this matter was a secret of the ancient Phoenix Clan, and he was hesitant to bring it up.
Left with no other choice, the black-robed high priest had to subtly mention a few words to the Daoist priest of Shouyang.
However, it seemed as if the Daoist priest of Shouyang had expected this, and he simply nodded repeatedly without saying anything more.
"Senior, I'm sorry to have troubled you this time," the black-robed high priest said sincerely.
Master Shouyang laughed and said, "You're too kind. There's no trouble at all. To be honest, the ancient Phoenix Clan was my benefactor in the last era. In this way, I'm repaying their kindness."
"You're too kind, junior. If there's anything our ancient Phoenix Clan can do to help us in the future, we'll go through fire and water without hesitation," said the black-robed high priest.
Upon hearing this, the Daoist priest of Shouyang merely smiled and said nothing more.
However, his gaze fell meaningfully in Lin Yu's direction, as if he was more curious about Lin Yu.
Sensing the gaze of Daoist Shouyang, Lin Yu nodded and smiled, but made no attempt to explain.
