The black-robed high priest naturally brought along top experts from the ancient Phoenix clan, as their mission was to protect the Phoenix Lord, and therefore, no task could be taken lightly.
Of course, the black-robed high priest had informed the Daoist priest of Shouyang about this matter beforehand.
Shouyang Daoist knew just how important Feng Nianzhi's position was in the ancient Phoenix Clan, so he didn't say much.
This time, however, Lin Yu had another person by his side.
That's Feng Yaoyang.
The story of Feng Yaoyang's appearance is quite long. In short, Feng Yaoyang, who also has the bloodline of the ancient phoenix clan, sensed the danger to Feng Lingling and rushed to the vicinity of the Phoenix Ancestral Sea.
Then, Feng Yaoyang had the same experience as He Buxian, and was accidentally introduced into the Dao Qi era.
Unlike He Buxian, who was somewhat aware of the situation, Feng Yaoyang was completely out of the loop.
As the era he lived in shifted from the Three Thousand Immortal Realms to the Dao Enlightenment Era, the power of the Fallen Black Phoenix within him increased once again.
Although sealed by Lin Yu, the Fallen Black Phoenix now has a greater ability to appear on its own compared to before when it could only rely on Feng Yaoyang.
Fortunately, Feng Yaoyang also fell into the Netherworld Immortal Realm, but he had been trapped in a mysterious inheritance place. In addition, Lin Yu did not know that he had also gone to the Phoenix Ancestral Sea, so he did not pay much attention to it.
However, as soon as Feng Yaoyang emerged from that inheritance site, Lin Yu immediately sensed Feng Yaoyang's presence.
Having endured numerous hardships, Feng Yaoyang was overjoyed to see Lin Yu again. Lin Yu, on the other hand, couldn't abandon Feng Yaoyang, who was, in a way, his Hongmeng Sequence disciple, so he brought him back to the residence of Daoist Shouyang.
After bringing Feng Yaoyang back, Lin Yu noticed the changes in him.
To be precise, it wasn't Feng Yaoyang who changed, but rather the power of the fallen black phoenix that changed.
The seal on Feng Yaoyang's body did not loosen too much, which shows that he did not blindly use the power of the Fallen Black Phoenix during this period.
After all, Lin Yu had explained to him before that if he blindly used the power of the Fallen Black Phoenix, not only his body, but also his mental power would be invaded by it.
When Lin Yu chose to seal the power of the Fallen Black Phoenix into Feng Yaoyang's body, he wanted to enhance Feng Yaoyang's strength on one hand, and his will on the other.
Now it seems that Feng Yaoyang has done a good job, but after the Dao Qi era, the power of the Fallen Black Phoenix has been significantly enhanced.
This resulted in several instances where, despite Yang Mingming's explicit permission, the Fallen Black Phoenix emerged on its own.
After meeting Lin Yu, the Fallen Black Phoenix restrained himself considerably, but his little tricks were no match for Lin Yu's sharp eyes, and he was exposed by Lin Yu in no time.
"Not bad. You've clearly increased your strength to the point where you can unleash it at any time, but you've been hiding your power from me all along," Lin Yu said with a smile.
The Fallen Black Phoenix, realizing that Lin Yu had discovered her, knew that all her pretense over the past few days had been in vain.
"Boom!"
Seeing that Lin Yu had discovered her, the Fallen Black Phoenix said nothing more and used all her strength to try to break free.
"Now that you've figured it out, let's end our game here!" the Fallen Black Phoenix said with a loud laugh.
However, his joy was short-lived, as he soon faced immense pressure.
Faced with the Fallen Black Phoenix's arrogant laughter, Lin Yu remained completely unfazed, simply watching his opponent with an air of composure.
It wasn't because of anything else, it was simply because he was confident in the seal he had cast.
As expected, the Fallen Black Phoenix didn't even have three seconds to be happy before it was completely suppressed by the seal.
Lin Yu calmly took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "Now that you've reached the Dao Qi era and your power has increased, do you think you're invincible? Too bad, while your power has increased, so too has the power of my seal!"
Lin Yu's words made the Fallen Black Phoenix's face turn extremely ugly. He suddenly realized that even though his power had increased, he was still no match for Lin Yu.
"What do you want!" the Fallen Black Phoenix asked unwillingly.
"I don't want anything." Lin Yu's subsequent answer exceeded the Fallen Black Phoenix's expectations, leaving him momentarily stunned.
"Huh?!" The Fallen Black Phoenix was confused.
Seeing this, Lin Yu smiled faintly and continued, "Now that you are with my disciple, you are naturally my disciple as well. As long as you stay put, this Palace Master will not do anything to you."
Hearing Lin Yu say this, the Fallen Black Phoenix was filled with doubt and surprise, never expecting such a good thing to happen.
Judging from the current situation, Lin Yu clearly had no intention of suppressing his strength.
"You can continue with the status quo, anyway, we're in the Dao Qi Era now, so it's your home turf." Lin Yu said with a smile, but that smile looked so eerie to the Fallen Black Phoenix.
Lin Yu, of course, also had his own considerations.
As a being from the Dao Qi era, the Fallen Black Phoenix is naturally more useful than Feng Yaoyang, so Lin Yu is not in a hurry to suppress its strength, but hopes that it can be used for his own purposes.
This proposal was naturally entirely beneficial to the Fallen Black Phoenix, so he readily agreed.
Therefore, although the person in question is physically like Feng Yaoyang, spiritually he has become a fallen black phoenix.
Although He Buxian felt somewhat awkward, he knew that the existence of the Fallen Black Phoenix was only temporary, so he didn't say anything more.
Before the return of the Black-Robed High Priest, the Fallen Black Phoenix had been content with the status quo, but now that he has returned with a group of ancient phoenix clan members, the Fallen Black Phoenix can no longer sit still.
The Fallen Black Phoenix and the Ancient Phoenix Clan have always been at odds. After all, according to the Ancient Phoenix Clan, it was the Fallen Black Phoenix who chose evil magic and underwent mutation, leading to the current situation.
However, in the eyes of the Fallen Black Phoenix, she had merely chosen a more powerful force, yet she was already being scorned by her own people; it was truly laughable.
Although it had transformed into a fallen black phoenix, the arrogance unique to ancient phoenixes within it remained undiminished. Therefore, upon sensing the arrival of the black-robed high priest, the fallen black phoenix not only did not try to avoid him, but instead faced him head-on.
A battle between the two sides could erupt at any moment.
