Because Feng Nianzhi intends to reside in the Netherworld Immortal Realm for an extended period, the Black-Robed High Priest is now considered the highest leader of the ancient Phoenix Clan.
In fact, the black-robed high priest truly deserved the title, after all, he had protected the ancient phoenix clan for so many years, and was quite prestigious among them.
Therefore, the position of the Black-Robed High Priest now represents, to a certain extent, the position of the entire ancient Phoenix Clan.
Currently, after seeing the Fallen Black Phoenix beside Lin Yu, the atmosphere around the Black-Robed High Priest is quite tense.
In contrast to the High Priest's furious outburst, the atmosphere on the Fallen Black Phoenix's side was remarkably relaxed. Looking at the High Priest's menacing appearance, he felt no fear whatsoever, but rather found it somewhat amusing.
Looking at the gloating expression on Fallen Black Phoenix's face, He Buxian suddenly wondered if this guy's appearance here today was all intentional!
In his opinion, this Fallen Black Phoenix is really not an ordinary person. If He Buxian were facing this situation, he would definitely avoid those clansmen if possible, instead of rushing to meet them like the Fallen Black Phoenix.
Looking at the tense atmosphere, which resembled a battlefield, He Buxian felt overwhelmed just standing there.
"Fellow Daoist Lin Yu, how come you're with this guy?" The black-robed high priest barely managed to finish speaking, almost gritting his teeth.
Before Lin Yu could answer, the black-robed high priest continued speaking, seemingly because Lin Yu was unaware of the various connections between the ancient phoenix clan and the fallen black phoenix.
"This creature is a fallen black phoenix, and is irreconcilably opposed to our ancient phoenix clan."
Upon hearing this, the Fallen Black Phoenix merely snorted coldly, seemingly quite disdainful of what the black-robed high priest had said.
In his eyes, there were absolutely no good words to describe the black-robed high priest; terms like "stubborn and inflexible" were already quite lenient.
In many ways, the fallen Dark Phoenix saw the High Priest in black robes as no different from a decrepit old man.
For so many years, the incomparably noble ancient phoenix clan has been confined to one place, ostensibly for protection, but what is the reality?
To a large extent, the decision made by the Black-Robed High Priest limited the development of the descendants of the ancient Phoenix Clan, and what's most ridiculous is that the Black-Robed High Priest himself was unaware of this.
Lin Yu was also having a bit of a headache. Although he knew beforehand that this Fallen Black Phoenix was definitely not a kind person, he hadn't realized that this was a guy who loved to cause trouble.
Looking at the smug expression on the face of the fallen black phoenix, it was clear that this situation was intentional on his part.
This was the residence of Daoist Shouyang. Looking at the two groups of people who were about to draw their swords, Lin Yu sighed helplessly.
"Now is not the time to dwell on those grudges. Let's just do what we need to do!" Lin Yu said, looking at the people on both sides, he only felt a little tired.
However, the black-robed high priest clearly did not intend to end things so easily. His robes were already fluttering without wind, and he was releasing a powerful spiritual aura, clearly indicating that he was already enraged.
"Fellow Daoist Lin Yu, I don't mind listening to you on other matters. After all, no matter what, your help to our ancient Phoenix Clan is immense. It is because of your existence that our ancient Phoenix Clan has achieved such a tremendous turnaround."
"But I cannot comply with this request!"
"Do you know how much karmic entanglement this fallen black phoenix has caused for our ancient phoenix clan, and how many disasters it has brought upon us!"
"If this bastard hadn't shown up in front of me, all would have been fine. But now that he dares to appear so brazenly before me, things won't be so easily resolved!"
The black-robed high priest's words were resounding and powerful; as soon as he finished speaking, his aura reached its peak.
The young members of the ancient phoenix clan surrounding Lin Yu, the black-robed high priest, also wore expressions of shared hatred and indignation, clearly agreeing with the high priest's words and considering the fallen black phoenix their enemy.
The feud between the ancient Phoenix Clan and the Fallen Black Phoenix is a long story, and Lin Yu doesn't know much about it, only a general idea.
The Fallen Dark Phoenix was born during the era of the previous Phoenix Lord, and due to its excessive pursuit of power, it committed many horrific acts.
This clearly offended many cultivators.
The Fallen Black Phoenix itself is elusive, making it difficult for cultivators to find a place to seek revenge. Therefore, they have no choice but to turn their attention to the race to which the Fallen Black Phoenix belongs, namely the ancient Phoenix race.
Although the ancient Phoenix clan was extremely proud, having a kin like the Fallen Black Phoenix was certainly not a good thing. The current Phoenix Lord immediately refused to acknowledge the Fallen Black Phoenix's identity and expelled it from the clan.
Nevertheless, many enemies of the fallen Black Phoenix still sought out the ancient Phoenix clan.
When the ancient Phoenix Clan was at its strongest, these disturbances were insignificant. However, after the fragments of the Heaven-Mending Stone fell into the Phoenix Ancestral Sea, they brought an unexpected disaster to the ancient Phoenix Clan.
With most cultivators coveting it, the revenge of the Fallen Black Phoenix's enemies is like adding insult to injury for the ancient phoenix clan.
Especially after the ancient Phoenix clan clashed with the fallen Black Phoenix, causing chaos in the Phoenix Ancestral Sea and disrupting its protective barrier, how could the Black-Robed High Priest tolerate this?
In the eyes of the black-robed high priest, it was because of that conflict that the so-called mysterious force had the opportunity to attack Feng Nianzhi, which led to Feng Nianzhi's misfortune.
No, maybe the Fallen Black Phoenix is directly in cahoots with that mysterious force!
If he could, the Black-Robed High Priest would have loved to end the life of the Fallen Black Phoenix himself. Unfortunately, Feng Nianzhi was in critical condition at the time, and the Black-Robed High Priest had to prioritize the safety of the Phoenix Lord and protect her first.
This allowed the fallen black phoenix to escape.
To my utter surprise, this guy actually dared to show up in front of me so brazenly.
The high priest in black robes was filled with uncontrollable rage.
While they endured the boundless darkness and loneliness of the Phoenix Ancestral Sea, this scoundrel was somewhere committing evil deeds, tarnishing the reputation of the ancient Phoenix clan.
"Fellow Daoist Lin Yu, this is an internal matter of our ancient Phoenix clan. I advise you not to interfere!" The black-robed high priest said slowly, his gaze icy.
