"Don't worry, generally speaking, the power of instantaneous teleportation also relies on the power of direction, and it is primarily driven by the power of direction."

"In other words, although the source energy that makes up the entire teleportation spell is very complex, as long as we find the right location, we have a chance to return by the same route."

"I suspect that the spot where we were just standing is the key to this spell. It's highly likely that the cultivators from the Twelve True Palaces guided us to a special location, thus triggering the teleportation spell."

"If we find the spot where we were just standing, that's the exit point of the entire spell!"

Lin Yu said calmly, as he was very familiar with spells like teleportation.

Lin Yu explained it in such detail simply so that Feng Changge wouldn't be too confused and would at least know the purpose of everything he was doing.

The cultivators from the Twelve True Palaces teleported him and Feng Changge here in order to force them to make some compromises.

Presumably, the cultivators of the Twelve True Palaces could tell from the conversation just now that Lin Yu and Feng Changge were both in a hurry.

If they don't compromise soon, even if they get the century-old medicinal herbs, they won't be able to take them away from the land of the Twelve True Palaces.

Unfortunately, the cultivators of the Twelve True Palaces miscalculated. Their opponent this time was Lin Yu, the Palace Master of the Primordial Hall, not just any cultivator from anywhere.

If it were an ordinary cultivator, they probably wouldn't have been able to withstand the series of changes and would have wanted to compromise and obediently sign a contract with them.

But Lin Yu wouldn't do that.

On the one hand, as the Lord of the Primordial Hall, Lin Yu absolutely could not allow himself to sign such a contract under threat; on the other hand, Lin Yu understood the potential consequences of this contract.

Don't underestimate this small contract. Once they sign it, even if they leave the land of the Twelve True Palaces, they will be under the control of the Twelve True Palaces cultivators, no different from becoming their puppets.

"But that requires us to find the spot where we were standing!" Feng Changge said somewhat anxiously.

"I... Our ancient Phoenix clan rarely uses formations, and I don't know much about them... What should I do?"

" Lin Yu, we've already wasted so much time, do you think Lady Phoenix might already be...? Will she be able to wait until we get back?"

"No matter what, we need to get out of here as soon as possible! Lord Phoenix is still waiting for us to save her."

"What conditions do those cultivators from the Twelve True Palaces want us to agree to? If it's not too much trouble, we'll just agree. If we can leave the land of the Twelve True Palaces by compromising, why bother breaking this spell!"

In his haste, Feng Changge's thoughts became chaotic, and he blurted out that he would agree to the contract with the cultivators of the Twelve True Palaces.

In his view, the most important thing right now is to get back to the residence of the Daoist priest of Shouyang as soon as possible.

If the Twelve True Palace cultivators' goal is simply to get their help with some tasks, and Lin Yu is unwilling to be controlled by them, then there's nothing wrong with him agreeing to their demands so he can leave as soon as possible.

"If you have any concerns, I'll agree to it when the time comes. And whatever the cultivators of the Twelve True Palaces want to do, leave it to me to handle!" Feng Changge made a decision with his head held high and chest puffed out.

Unfortunately, Feng Changge was ultimately too naive.

He thought that as long as he compromised on this step, he would be able to leave the land of the Twelve True Palaces and successfully rescue the Phoenix Lord.

However, Feng Changge was completely unaware of the dangers behind the Twelve True Palaces' contract.

"Agree? You're thinking too lightly. Do you know that once this contract is signed, you'll be no different from a puppet of the Twelve True Palaces cultivators!"

"You are a member of the ancient Phoenix clan. Are you willing to become a slave to the cultivators of the Twelve True Palaces? Even if you could agree, would your ancient Phoenix clan's High Priest agree?!"

Lin Yu glared at Feng Changge with an extremely stern look.

Even if Feng Changge was unaware of the underlying reasons, his idea of achieving his goals through "compromise" was fundamentally flawed.

In this fantasy world where the strong prey on the weak, if you appear more vulnerable than others, you'll only be eaten like shrimp, and no one will care whether you're naive or not.

"What the cultivators of the Twelve True Palaces said is indeed true. Your ancient Phoenix clan has gradually declined, but even the fallen Black Phoenix has never been manipulated by others. Think carefully, if you really did that, would your ancestors agree? And how would they rest in peace?!"

In fact, Lin Yu could understand Feng Changge's current thoughts, which were simply to return to the residence of Daoist Shouyang as soon as possible and hand over the century-old medicinal herbs to Feng Nianzhi.

Even now, Feng Changge still thinks that Feng Nianzhi's condensed power shattered because of his own mistake.

Lin Yu looked at Feng Changge. After hearing what he had just said, the brat's expression did not waver; instead, it became even more determined.

This expression surprised Lin Yu somewhat.

Given the incredibly arrogant nature of the ancient Phoenix clan, they wouldn't even bow their heads, so how could they possibly be willing to become slaves to others?

But something about Feng Changge's expression was definitely off.

"Could it be that this brat wants to agree first, rescue Feng Nianzhi, and then rush back to the ancient Phoenix Clan to apologize after Feng Nianzhi wakes up?" Lin Yu pondered Feng Changge's thoughts.

However, as it turns out, Lin Yu, a cultivator who has seen many storms, really couldn't understand the thoughts of these ignorant "young children" from Fengchang Pavilion.

Lin Yu's long-winded speech seemed to have no effect on Feng Changge's mind. Upon hearing this, he straightened his back and put on a serious expression.

"I've already discussed it with the cultivators of the Twelve True Palaces. I can help them with one thing, or even two or several things, after I leave the land of the Twelve True Palaces! But the condition for all of this is that I cannot become their puppet."

"Right now, all I want is to get out of here as soon as possible and hand over this century-old herb to Lord Phoenix. I don't want to think about anything else. Of course, no matter what, I will never become his puppet."

Feng Changge had just said these words, and Lin Yu almost coughed up blood.

The ancient phoenix clan has really produced a bunch of stubborn fools!
