Lin Yu, He Buxian, and the Fallen Black Phoenix discussed the fragments of the Heaven-Mending Stone, naturally forgetting about the young people of the ancient phoenix clan.
However, the young man was still bound in mid-air by Lin Yu's magic, leaving the other members of the ancient phoenix clan helpless. In desperation, they could only come over and beg Lin Yu to show mercy.
"Yes, Lord Lin Yu, we will definitely take that boy back and discipline him severely. We beg you to let him off the hook!"
"We know the great kindness Lord Lin Yu has shown to our ancient Phoenix clan. Protecting the Phoenix Lord is the greatest favor we can do for our clan! We implore you, please don't hold that brat against you, and show him mercy!"
"He's just a naive little fellow; don't take him seriously."
Several members of the ancient phoenix clan surrounded Lin Yu, pleading with him in a gentle and earnest tone.
Right now, they have no other choice but to plead with Lin Yu.
In terms of strength, Lin Yu was capable of defeating the Black-Robed High Priest, let alone dealing with them. In terms of vision and wisdom, they were far inferior.
After all, if they had that kind of vision, they would have already solved the problem of the seal on Lord Phoenix.
Moreover, before leaving, the black-robed high priest repeatedly warned them not to antagonize Lin Yu under any circumstances. Therefore, the members of the ancient phoenix clan spoke cautiously and had no intention of arguing with Lin Yu.
The Fallen Black Phoenix watched coldly from the sidelines. As a former member of the ancient phoenix clan, she naturally knew how much concession these guys had made.
Perhaps this show of sincerity is nothing to Lin Yu, but for the arrogant ancient phoenix clan, it is already a huge concession.
However, the fact that these guys had managed to disgrace the ancient phoenix clan so badly still greatly displeased the fallen black phoenix.
She gave a cold snort, fully expressing her disdain.
Of course, at this point he had completely forgotten how Lin Yu had beaten him up before.
"Didn't you see how arrogant that kid was? Our Lord was just disciplining him."
"Since you can't manage your own people, then let our Lord of the Palace discipline them for you!"
"Don't you even know how much our Lord has helped you from beginning to end? And now you treat him with such contempt? You bunch of ungrateful bastards!"
He Buxian spoke before Lin Yu, giving a stern rebuke to the ancient phoenix clan.
These guys have been provoking them quite a bit these past few days, and He Buxian has long been annoyed by them.
But these people are quite something. They don't dare to cause trouble for Lin Yu, who is always looking for problems with them. Now that they have something to ask of Lin Yu, they can pretend that nothing happened.
He Buxian just couldn't swallow that insult!
"My Lord, I've come up with a brilliant idea! Why don't we tie up these ancient phoenix clan members, put that thing on their bodies, and use them as bait to lure out that mysterious power!"
Still feeling unsatisfied, He Buxian suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said...
The ancient phoenix clan members were completely baffled by these words. What was that? What kind of mysterious power was it?
But seeing He Buxian's smiling face, they instinctively felt that this was not a good thing!
Moreover, the word "bait" doesn't sound like a good thing at all.
Although He Buxian's words seemed frivolous, they were actually based on his own considerations.
After yesterday's experiments, even that mysterious power should be able to sense Lin Yu's formidable strength. If the fragments of the Heaven-Mending Stone continue to be placed on Lin Yu, that mysterious power will only be more prepared to come and seize them in the future.
However, if the fragments of the Heaven-Mending Stone were placed on a relatively weak member of the ancient Phoenix clan, the chances of that mysterious power succeeding would greatly increase, and it might even come to snatch them.
Therefore, the word "bait" is quite fitting.
As soon as He Buxian finished speaking, the ancient phoenixes who had been chattering around Lin Yu all changed their expressions, looking at Lin Yu with pleading eyes.
Although they didn't know exactly what was going on, it didn't seem like a good thing at all!
He Buxian was, after all, an acquaintance of Lin Yu Lin Yu, and his relationship with Lin Yu was far better than theirs.
What if Lin Yu really agrees to use their people as bait?
Moreover, they are completely clueless about the whole situation and don't even know if they will encounter danger if they take the bait!
Seeing the fearful expressions on the faces of the ancient phoenix clansmen, Lin Yu smiled helplessly and said to them, "That kid isn't young anymore, and he's always like this. It's getting bad. I'm just trying to make him wake up."
"This time, we'll teach this kid a lesson, showing him who he can offend at will and who he cannot. Otherwise, how can he shoulder great responsibilities if he's always so reckless?"
"Don't worry, this is just a warning; I won't really do anything to it. But don't forget, I did take the essence blood of your ancient phoenix clan, so I would never harm the bloodline of the ancient phoenix clan."
After Lin Yu's assurance, the members of the ancient phoenix clan, though still looking pitiful, couldn't say anything more.
They knew that the young clansman was no longer in any danger, but conversely, after Lin Yu said that, they didn't know when Lin Yu would be able to put the little guy down.
Since things had come to this point, the members of the ancient phoenix clan didn't want to disturb him any longer. They said goodbye to Lin Yu and left.
Once those members of the ancient phoenix clan had left, the Fallen Black Phoenix spoke up, "The ancient phoenix clan is truly declining with each generation. These cowards, no wonder they can be so easily manipulated by outsiders."
"They've all fallen into this state, and that black-robed high priest still naively believes that the ancient phoenix clan can continue to flourish. How laughable. A bunch of stagnant and hopeless fools, utterly useless."
"If they had listened to me earlier, these young people of the ancient Phoenix Clan would probably have grown up long ago."
The Fallen Black Phoenix spoke coldly from the side, her gaze utterly ruthless.
