Feng Changge stared intently at He Buxian, waiting for his reply.
Clearly, from Feng Changge's perspective, the ancient phoenix clan has been on a downward trend in recent years. The most obvious example is the black-robed high priest, whose fiery red hair has turned quite white with worry.
Feng Changge himself had no intention of becoming the Phoenix Lord; his only thought was to support Feng Nianzhi!
Just now, He Buxian's unintentional remark had provoked him. "Your ancient phoenix clan has been in decline for quite some time now."
Although this was indeed the truth, Feng Changge simply couldn't bear to hear He Buxian say such a thing.
"You're talking nonsense! We, the ancient phoenixes, are a supreme race of demonic beasts. When have we ever fallen into poverty? Besides, we don't need an outsider like you pointing fingers here."
"And even in our decline, what remains of our ancient Phoenix clan is something a cultivator like you would pursue your entire life. Do you know that for our people, the starting point of your birth is also your end point!"
Feng Changge spoke confidently, believing that the ancient phoenix clan had experienced several glorious eras. Even if they were temporarily in decline, they would not stay like this forever and would rise again sooner or later.
"And what makes you so powerful? The three of you couldn't even retrieve the Heaven-Mending Fragment; I had to use my Origin Fire." Feng Changge muttered unhappily.
In fact, there are many truths that He Buxian knew even if he didn't tell him. But is it the same feeling to come to understand these things yourself as well as to have outsiders criticize them?
That's why Feng Changge was quite dissatisfied.
Despite their bickering, the three of them didn't stop their rapid advance and continued moving forward at a fast pace.
Of course, this speed is thanks to the main force of speed among the three, namely the Fallen/Black Phoenix.
While He Buxian and Feng Changge were bickering wildly, only the Fallen Black Phoenix, who usually spoke with a barbed tongue, remained silent.
In fact, everything he had done before was simply to promote and glorify the ancient phoenix clan. In essence, what the fallen black phoenix hoped for was the same thing that the Phoenix Pavilion hoped for.
Even so, the three of them were still much slower than Lin Yu, which gives you an idea of just how fast the two people ahead of them were.
"Truly worthy of being a magic weapon from the Dao Qi era! Even after being reduced to fragments, it still maintains this level of speed!" He Buxian exclaimed in admiration.
"Do you even need to tell me that? You're such a chatterbox!" Feng Changge said irritably. "With all that energy for nonsense, you'd be better off hurrying on your way! If you slow down any further, you won't even be able to see your Lord Palace Master's back anymore!"
"What if we lose them?" Feng Changge said again.
And surprisingly, the Fallen Black Phoenix nodded in agreement with those words.
This was one of the few times he shared the same opinion as Feng Changge.
When He Buxian saw that the two guys who were originally irreconcilable had now united on the same side, he had a sudden feeling that the sun was rising in the west and fell into a brief silence.
"Hmph, I sent you here to help, but you've got too much nonsense to say." He Buxian muttered, and quickly rushed forward.
This time, He Buxian didn't get distracted. He concentrated all his spiritual power on his feet, instantly increasing his speed and leaving Feng Changge behind.
Feng Changge was furious and wanted to retaliate, but instead received a slap on the head from the Fallen Black Phoenix.
Although it was just a light slap, it still left Feng Changge somewhat bewildered.
"Alright, stop getting drunk with him. Don't you have the wings of the ancient phoenix clan? You're so slow, and you still want to revitalize the ancient phoenix clan? You don't cultivate properly usually, and now that you need to, you'll only regret it! I think you should be grateful if you don't hold them back."
"The Fallen Black Phoenix said sternly."
Upon hearing what the Fallen Black Phoenix said, Feng Changge, unusually, did not continue arguing with him but fell silent.
After a moment, he slowly opened his mouth.
"You're overthinking it. Such a momentous matter as reviving the ancient Phoenix clan is entirely the responsibility of the Phoenix Lord."
"I am merely a minor figure among the ancient Phoenix Clan. In truth, my primordial fire has mutated, making my flames appear somewhat special. Compared to other members of my clan, I have nothing to offer."
"Moreover, the brothers who came to protect Lord Phoenix this time are all far more powerful than me."
The Fallen Black Phoenix glanced at Feng Changge, knowing the boy was just sulking, and said irritably, "You're getting a good deal and still acting innocent. Don't you know how many people in the clan would envy your flames!"
"You should be thankful that this pure primordial fire still has some use, otherwise it would have dried you into a dried corpse, and you wouldn't be here wasting your breath talking to me!"
After the Fallen Black Phoenix finished speaking, it also sped up. However, unlike He Buxian, the Fallen Black Phoenix did not forget to bring Feng Changge along even when it sped up.
After all, Lin Yu still needs the flames of Phoenix Pavilion after he recovers the fragments of Heaven Mending. If they leave this kid here and something goes wrong, no one can bear the consequences.
However, during the flight, the Fallen Black Phoenix fell into deep thought again, somewhat puzzled by Lin Yu's current choice.
The fragments of the Heaven-Mending Stone do indeed possess immense energy, but why did Lin Yu try to understand the spiritual consciousness within them while simultaneously preserving the fragments' original attributes?
This choice is undoubtedly the most troublesome path.
In fact, there is definitely more than one way to solve this problem, but Lin Yu chose the most difficult one. Could it be that she has some other plan?
Is Lin Yu planning to directly synthesize the Heaven-Mending Stone?
Logically speaking, the fragments of the sky-mending stones should only spontaneously merge into the sky-mending stone when faced with a cataclysmic disaster.
If someone were to artificially synthesize the Stone of Mending the Sky, it would either affect the course of history or trigger a cataclysmic disaster. What exactly is Lin Yu up to?
The Fallen Black Phoenix pondered for a moment, but couldn't come up with a solution. So he gave up and decided to find some time to ask Lin Yu directly what he was thinking.
The three people who had been arguing just moments before fell silent, all rushing forward at breakneck speed.
Fortunately, there were Lin Yu's marks on the road. Even if they briefly lost sight of Lin Yu, they could still catch up as long as they followed the marks and went at full speed.
