Although he knew that the water droplet was aimed at him and shouldn't affect anyone else, Lin Yu was still somewhat worried.
Lin Yu hadn't been gone long when he encountered the Fallen Black Phoenix and the Phoenix Clan.
This phoenix clansman was one of the people who came with the black-robed high priest to protect Feng Nianzhi. He was quite displeased with the fallen black phoenix at the time, and if Lin Yu hadn't stopped him, they probably would have started a fight.
Although the Black-Robed High Priest has now been appointed, the conflict between the two sides remains unresolved. However, because they are currently in the residence of the Daoist Shouyang, the Phoenix Clan has become much more restrained.
However, this restraint only means refraining from taking action; it does not completely alleviate the situation.
Right now, the two are arguing.
"You're nothing but a traitor driven out by our ancient Phoenix clan. What right do you have to swagger in front of me?"
"Since you have betrayed our clan, all the talents and abilities of the ancient Phoenix clan should be abolished. Your current state is truly despicable!"
The young man from the ancient phoenix clan stared coldly at the fallen black phoenix, his gaze even carrying a hint of disdain.
However, compared to what the black-robed high priest said, the words of this young man from the ancient phoenix clan were clearly not aggressive enough, or rather, the fallen black phoenix simply did not take his words seriously.
Faced with the little phoenix's sarcasm, the fallen black phoenix even had the composure to let out a cold laugh.
"What's wrong with you, little phoenix? Didn't your clan's elders teach you to respect your elders? By age, I'm your senior."
"Aren't you afraid of disgracing your ancient phoenix clan by speaking like that?" The fallen black phoenix said with a smile.
The reason why the Fallen Black Phoenix was so indifferent was quite simple. Although he had considerable conflicts with the ancient phoenix clan, the core of the conflict was still the black-robed high priest.
Regardless, his own strength was among the top of the ancient phoenix clan, while the young man in front of him was merely a rising star among the younger generation of the ancient phoenix clan; he was still somewhat weaker than him.
The Fallen Black Phoenix would never take such "small fry" seriously, so instead of being angry at the other party's provocation, he found it somewhat amusing.
After all, in the eyes of the Fallen Black Phoenix, dealing with this little guy from the ancient phoenix clan was no different from stepping on an ant, so he didn't take the little guy's provocation to heart at all.
How could the young man from the ancient phoenix clan not see through the fallen black phoenix's nonchalant attitude? He became even angrier.
He Buxian had only been watching coldly from the sidelines, with no intention of getting involved.
But perhaps because the young man from the ancient phoenix clan had been bothering them for too long, He Buxian was getting a little impatient, so he finally spoke up.
"You've been arguing and making trouble here for so long, can't you tell the difference? It's not the Fallen Black Phoenix that has disgraced you, it's clearly you who has disgraced the ancient Phoenix clan."
Upon hearing He Buxian's words, the young man from the ancient phoenix clan turned from pale to red, his eyes glaring fiercely at He Buxian.
"And who do you think you are? This is a matter for our ancient Phoenix clan, what right do you have to interfere! Besides, our ancient Phoenix clan has no one like this. Don't compare this traitor to me!"
"If you are truly an elder of our clan, then of course I will respect you. But someone like you is not worthy of being called a member of our ancient Phoenix clan."
"If it weren't for the High Priest's orders not to act rashly here, do you think I would have gone easy on you? Not tearing you to pieces would have been considered lenient!"
The young man from the ancient phoenix clan spoke aggressively, his gaze towards the fallen black phoenix filled with resentment.
Lin Yu, listening from the side, felt somewhat helpless. He seemed to have encountered a similar situation when he entered the Phoenix Tomb before. These members of the ancient Phoenix Clan could be quite stubborn at times!
However, Lin Yu could understand why they had become like this. After all, strictly speaking, this young man should never have left the Phoenix Ancestral Sea. This trip to the Netherworld Immortal Realm was probably the first time he had come to such a far place.
It's all because he's too young. Once he's been out there for a few years, experienced some things, and learned more about the vastness and wonders of the fantasy world, he might understand.
"If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten. What was the high priest sending you here for? Just to fight me?"
"If you insist on fighting, I don't mind playing along. However, I wonder if you'll cry if you lose."
The Fallen Black Phoenix looked at the young man from the ancient phoenix clan with a meaningful gaze.
As I've said before, with his strength, dealing with such a little guy is a piece of cake. If he weren't worried about being accused of "bullying the weak," he would have already taken care of this little thing.
Since he had already been expelled by the ancient phoenix clan, strictly speaking, he was not a senior of this young man from the ancient phoenix clan at all, and there was no need for him to continue to tolerate him.
However, Lin Yu's arrival still made the Fallen Black Phoenix somewhat wary.
Although he was very strong, he was clearly no match for Lin Yu.
Judging from the previous situation, Lin Yu was quite familiar with the black-robed high priest. If he really made a move against the members of the ancient phoenix clan, Lin Yu would definitely not just stand by and watch him deal with them.
Thinking of this, the Fallen Black Phoenix barely managed to suppress the anger in her heart.
The young man from the ancient Phoenix Clan obviously didn't expect this. When he saw Lin Yu walking over, he could only feel anger.
He hadn't forgotten that when he first saw the Fallen Black Phoenix, the Black-Robed High Priest had already planned to lead them into action, but he changed his mind because of Lin Yu's inexplicable advice.
"Who does this guy think he is, daring to interfere in the affairs of our ancient Phoenix clan?!"
As the young man pondered this, Lin Yu spoke up leisurely, "You've already forgotten what your Black-Robed High Priest entrusted to you? The most important thing right now is to protect your Phoenix Lord. What kind of skill is it to act like a hero here?"
"Hmph, what right do you, an outsider, have to interfere in the affairs of our ancient Phoenix clan?"
