The Lineage have been fighting for an unknown amount of time on the land of the Twelve True Palaces, without any clear victor.
Many powerful figures from the Lineage perished tragically in this battle, and some young geniuses were destroyed before they could fully mature.
Even such a brutal legal system could not prevent these Lineage from continuing to thrive on the land of the Twelve True Palaces. They all believed that with their Lineage's strength, they were absolutely qualified to rule this land.
Having sufficient strength to protect its Lineage is a symbol of prestige and power for the Lineage.
Compared to the past, the Lineage can be said to have controlled all the territory of the Twelve True Palaces.
They divided the Twelve True Palaces into four parts, each governed by a Lineage. Without the permission of the Lineage in charge, members of other Lineage were not qualified to enter that territory.
"The land of the Twelve True Palaces is so vast, where are we going to look for that strange herb?" Feng Changge couldn't help but ask.
It takes a hundred years to bloom and a hundred years to bear fruit. Could these twelve true palace seeds still possess such miraculous treasures?
Thinking of this, Feng Changge felt even more uncertain and couldn't help but say worriedly, "How could it be such a coincidence that we arrived just as the fruit was ripe?"
"If it takes some time for the fruit of this strange herb to ripen, our Phoenix Lord cannot wait that long!"
"I just told you so much, how could you forget it so quickly? Since we're here to find medicinal herbs, take your time and be patient!"
"As you know, this is a medicinal herb that takes thousands of years to flower and bear fruit. If you can't even wait that long, what kind of herb are you looking for?"
Lin Yu glared at Feng Changge and said.
Seeing Lin Yu's stern expression, Feng Changge immediately became somewhat intimidated, and he couldn't help but shrink back. "Then what should we do now?"
"Don't worry, we don't need to wait thousands of years, at most we'll meet in a few days," Lin Yu said confidently. "I've already calculated this beforehand."
"Now is not the time for self-pity. The most urgent task is to find the medicinal herb. If we want to save Feng Nianzhi, we must get that herb!"
"Yes!" Feng Changge nodded, but he was still completely confused about the current situation.
There were many things Lin Yu did that he didn't understand, but Lin Yu wouldn't explain everything to him, so he always felt uneasy.
Another half day passed, and Feng Changge suddenly noticed something amiss.
It seemed that from the moment they and Lin Yu stepped into the territory of the Twelve True Palaces, another force had been silently following them.
At first, this feeling was not obvious, but as time went by, Feng Changge directly felt this strangeness.
" Lin Yu, something's wrong, it seems we're being followed!" Feng Changge hurriedly told Lin Yu.
To his surprise, Lin Yu remained remarkably calm upon hearing this, as if he had known about it all along.
"It's alright, just let them come along," Lin Yu said calmly.
In fact, the moment Lin Yu stepped onto the land of the Twelve True Palaces, he sensed something unusual.
Perhaps because they had entered the control of one of the Lineage, the people of the Lineage almost immediately became aware of Lin Yu and Feng Changge's presence.
However, instead of taking direct action, they secretly sent people to follow Lin Yu and Feng Changge.
The Lineage families also wanted to see what Lin Yu and Feng Changge, as two outsiders, were doing at the Twelve True Palaces.
Although the Lineage were constantly embroiled in internal strife, they were remarkably united in their attitude towards external invasion.
To deal with external enemies, the Lineage were even able to unite briefly.
The reason why the Lineage have been able to thrive here for so long is twofold: firstly, because of their formidable strength, and secondly, because of their unity in dealing with forces outside the Twelve True Palaces.
That's why, although the heads of the Lineage kept changing, their surnames never changed.
"Be careful here; we've been under surveillance by those Lineage for a while now."
"But don't worry, this land is a neutral zone without any local jurisdiction. Although the Lineage have divided up most of the land in the Twelve Palaces, they don't own all of it."
"Land like this, located at the intersection of the territories of four Lineage, makes it difficult to define specific powers. That's why Lineage have sent people to monitor it, but none have taken action."
"Besides that, there are some remote and uncontrolled areas. We can go there first and take a look; at least that will help us avoid conflict with the Lineage."
"If we get into a fight with them, it'll be troublesome. Defeating these guys isn't difficult, but I'm worried they'll get entangled in a fight with us, which would waste a lot of time. Time is our most precious resource right now!"
Lin Yu quickly explained the current situation to Feng Changge, leaving Feng Changge utterly dumbfounded.
He never imagined that such a small matter would involve so many twists and turns.
Actually, if Lin Yu hadn't stopped him, Feng Changge might have been unable to resist taking action. But after hearing Lin Yu's explanation, Feng Changge felt fortunate.
"Luckily I didn't act rashly just now, otherwise I would have alerted them," Feng Changge thought to himself.
Feng Changge is, after all, a young man, full of youthful vigor.
Having gone through so much, Feng Changge may not care about himself, but he cares about the entire ancient phoenix clan.
He knew that if he acted rashly, he might very well cause the entire ancient phoenix clan to become enemies with these Lineage.
Although the ancient Phoenix clan maintains a transcendent status in the entire demon beast realm, who knows if they might need the help of the Netherworld Immortal Realm in the future?
It's always better to have one more friend than one more enemy.
Even a child like Feng Changge knows that the ancient phoenix clan is currently facing immense difficulties, and Feng Nianzhi's injury adds another layer of uncertainty to the future of the ancient phoenix clan.
"We should avoid this battle if possible. Our Lord has just awakened and has already suffered a severe injury. I absolutely cannot add any more enemies to our ancient Phoenix Clan!" Feng Changge thought to himself, having already made up his mind.
