Neither He Buxian nor the Fallen Black Phoenix understood what was wrong with Lin Yu's question, and why the young man from the ancient phoenix clan seemed so hesitant and stammering after hearing it.
He was arrogant before, but now he avoids looking at Lin Yu, not daring to even look him in the eye. This behavior clearly indicates something is amiss!
However, even the Fallen Dark Phoenix was completely baffled as to what exactly went wrong.
Although it has turned evil and fallen, at least before becoming the Dark Phoenix, it was a genuine pure-blooded ancient phoenix for a period of time.
Therefore, he has a good understanding of his own kind. The so-called Phoenix True Fire is the unique flame of the ancient Phoenix Clan, or rather, the flame of a demon beast with Phoenix blood.
However, the bloodline power contained within the ancient phoenix clan is relatively pure, and therefore their fire power is even stronger.
The Phoenix True Fire of the ancient Phoenix Clan thus possesses a purifying effect, and the Phoenix Clan's rebirth from the ashes, its rebirth through fire, originates from this True Fire.
Unfortunately, not every phoenix can be reborn from the ashes; only those with pure bloodline power can achieve this.
Although there are some subtle differences in the Phoenix True Fire of the ancient Phoenix Clan, they are generally similar. However, Lin Yu specifically mentioned that he had seen a completely different Phoenix True Fire before.
"Strange, what Phoenix True Fire? I've never heard of it before. The ancient Phoenix clan had several kinds of Phoenix True Fire." The Fallen Black Phoenix thought to itself, completely bewildered, but on the surface, it maintained a calm expression.
Upon closer reflection, even before he turned to the dark side, his bloodline within the ancient phoenix clan was quite pure. Even so, he had never encountered a second type of phoenix true fire!
Did Lin Yu mean to use this special Phoenix True Fire to directly extract the spiritual power that might be contained within the Heaven-Mending Fragment?
While the Fallen Black Phoenix was deep in thought, the young man from the ancient phoenix clan suddenly became agitated.
"What wicked scheme are you plotting now? What do you want to do?! Do you think we, the ancient Phoenix Clan, are just going to let you take what you want?"
Hearing the young man say that, Lin Yu laughed and stared at him meaningfully for a long time, making the young man feel a chill run down his spine.
"What exactly do you want? Why are you staring at me like that?!" Finally, the young man couldn't take it anymore and asked directly.
Lin Yu retorted, "What, did I ask your ancient Phoenix Clan for something?"
I thought Lin Yu was going to ask some question, but it turned out to be this.
The young man took a deep breath, then said irritably, "What haven't you asked for yet? Did you take our clan's most precious treasure, the Phoenix Essence Blood? Did you bewitch our clan's Phoenix Lord and High Priest?"
"When did I bewitch your Phoenix Lord and High Priest?" Lin Yu continued to ask.
"You hadn't done it when we were at Phoenix Tomb?" Upon hearing this, the young man almost jumped up from the ground in anger, looking at Lin Yu without any curiosity.
However, Lin Yu simply resumed his smiling expression and didn't say anything more.
The young man was completely bewildered by Lin Yu's stare. He was about to ask Lin Yu what was wrong when he suddenly realized something and showed a look of deep regret.
Now it was He Buxian and the Fallen Black Phoenix's turn to be dumbfounded. They really couldn't figure out what had happened to make this young man show such a strange expression.
Lin Yu bought enough jars and finally solved the mystery.
"Actually, I sensed something was wrong from the very beginning. I wasn't planning to expose you, but you kept provoking us."
"My visit to the Phoenix Tomb is something that should only be known to four people in the ancient Phoenix clan: Feng Nianzhi, the Black-Robed High Priest, myself, and who is the other one?"
As he spoke, Lin Yu's smiling gaze fell once more on the young man from the ancient phoenix clan, and his expression immediately stiffened.
Because he already understood that what Lin Yu had just said meant he was questioning his identity!
No one knows what method Lin Yu used, but he managed to see through his disguise.
This young man from the ancient Phoenix Clan was none other than Lin Yu had encountered at the Phoenix Tomb!
In fact, Feng Changge's disguise was so perfect that even the black-robed high priest was fooled.
However, what he didn't expect was that all of this was full of loopholes in front of Lin Yu.
Putting aside this inexplicable temper, even among the ancient Phoenix clan, Lin Yu had only seen one person like this in the Phoenix Tomb, which meant that the special spiritual power on his body was already quite obvious.
Unexpectedly, her disguise was not discovered by her own clansmen, but by Lin Yu first. Feng Changge was extremely dissatisfied, but there was no other way at the moment.
If Lin Yu finds out about this, it gives Lin Yu another handle to threaten him, which is something Feng Changge will definitely not be happy about!
After all, his job should be to guard the Phoenix Tomb, but now he has run to the Netherworld for the safety of the Phoenix Lord, which is dereliction of duty.
If the black-robed high priest finds out about this, he will surely be punished, and might even be forcibly taken back to the ancient phoenix clan.
Everything else is negotiable, but Feng Changge came here solely to protect Feng Nianzhi! Absolutely no mistakes can be made in a place like this!
"Alright, now explain to me what exactly happened," Lin Yu continued with a smile.
Although He Buxian and the Fallen Black Phoenix were still completely confused, they clearly sensed that Lin Yu had something on this young man.
Sure enough, Feng Changge, who had been so aggressive before, completely lost his spirit and obediently opened his mouth after Lin Yu asked him twice.
"That is my natal fire. In truth, I am not a pure-blooded ancient phoenix, but merely possess the bloodline power of the ancient phoenix clan."
Feng Changge's words surprised the Fallen Black Phoenix greatly.
As a former ancient phoenix, he could naturally sense that the phoenix bloodline power within Feng Changge was extremely pure. It was because of this that he had never considered that Feng Changge was not a member of the ancient phoenix clan.
He is not a member of the ancient Phoenix clan, but he possesses some of the Phoenix's bloodline power. This has happened to other demonic beasts before, but those beasts are usually not very strong. This kid is clearly different!
