"By the decree of the Ancestor, all branches of the Phoenix clan, whoever possesses the True Phoenix bloodline, shall be the master of Danxue Mountain!"
"Now, I, Emperor Taixu and Emperor Shiyuan, bearing the True Phoenix bloodline, have saved our Phoenix clan from the brink of annihilation. Yet you, Dao Palace, have established your own sect, seceded from our Danxue Mountain. The Ancestor's decree is eternally inscribed in the void, do you dare to betray your ancestors and renounce your lineage?"
"Sister!"
Upon seeing the figure emerging, Jin Ling breathed a sigh of relief. Huo Luo and Lei Yuan also retracted their weapons and respectfully greeted the figure, "Greetings, Eldest Sister!"
Yun Rou!
The second child of Emperor Taixu and Emperor Shiyuan, she was a Rainbow Phoenix. Although she did not bear the True Phoenix bloodline, her true form was adorned with five colors and resonated with the eight winds. Before Yang Ying appeared, she had always been groomed by the two Emperors as their successor.
Having received the true inheritance of the two Emperors, Yun Rou was virtually invincible within Danxue Mountain. However, outside of Danxue Mountain, her combat power was comparable to Huo Luo's.
"Yun Rou, what you said is going too far. The Ancestor of my Mad Bird lineage is a direct descendant of the Phoenix Ancestor. In terms of bloodline, our Mad Bird lineage is the orthodox one. Since you are here today, this King shall seek your guidance and see how powerful you truly are within Danxue Mountain!"
King Hao Ze's expression turned cold as he spoke. In the Immortal Realm, the Mad Bird lineage had betrayed their clan, and their reputation was not good. In the eyes of many powerful individuals, if they could betray even their ancestral lineage, what trust could be placed in them?
Yun Rou glanced at Yang Ying deep within Danxue Mountain. Emperor Taixu had repeatedly instructed her half a month ago that Danxue Mountain could be lost, but Yang Ying must be protected, as the True Phoenix bloodline was rare in all eternity.
She regained her composure and looked at King Hao Ze in the void, then at King Zi Jin of Wushan Immortal Court, and could not help but let out a cold laugh. Su Dan Novel Network
"What are you laughing at?"
King Hao Ze's expression immediately changed. Even King Zi Jin became enraged. Yun Rou's smile was deeply sarcastic in their eyes.
"Do you think that with just Dao Palace, Zhaoyao Palace, and your Wushan Immortal Court's three Immortal Emperors, you can stop my Danxue Mountain's two Emperors? Tell me, when will the Dragon Clan's experts arrive? Just the few of you at my Danxue Mountain are not enough for me to defeat in one move!"
"Presumptuous!"
"You dare to speak such bold words with just a trace of imperial might!"
King Zi Jin's face turned extremely cold. Truly, the times had changed. How powerful he once was. Ever since encountering the beings of the Phoenix clan, his status had declined day by day, especially with the new generation of quasi-emperor beings who regarded him as a stepping stone.
However, despite his anger, King Zi Jin did not make a move. Danxue Mountain had long been refined countless times by Emperor Taixu and Emperor Shiyuan. Only Yun Rou could wield the power of imperial might. Frankly speaking, within Danxue Mountain, even if he and King Hao Ze joined forces, they would not be a match for her. There was no need to embarrass himself by making a move, but he had to say what needed to be said and maintain his prestige.
"Princess Yun, long time no see. You might be underestimating my Zhaoyao Palace, Dao Palace, and Wushan Immortal Court!"
Then, to the east of Danxue Mountain, a vast and immense army gradually revealed its true form. The boundless blackness obscured the sky and the sun, exuding a heavy demonic aura. The moment the vast army appeared, its aura of blood and killing directly suppressed the momentum of the armies of Dao Palace and Wushan Immortal Court. The entire Danxue Mountain, within a radius of a thousand li, became dim and unclear.
"Dao Palace!"
Upon seeing the appearance of that vast army, all beings whispered softly. Zhaoyao Palace, the main instigator and the one who most desired the annihilation of the Phoenix clan, had finally arrived.
Nine-tenths of the vast army consisted of beings at the peak of the Chaotic Dao Venerable realm from the Three Thousand Dao Provinces. To think of an army composed of nearly five million peak Chaotic Dao Venerables, how terrifying that would be.
"Whether the Dragon Clan comes or not, we have already arrived at Danxue Mountain. The annihilation of the Phoenix lineage is only a matter of time."
At this moment, amidst the densely packed black army, a golden figure suddenly appeared. This figure stood on two legs like a human, but retained most of its true form's characteristics, with crimson eyes and a long tail. Its fur and armor, both golden, shone brilliantly. In its hand, it held a golden long staff.
When this golden figure appeared, King Zi Jin and King Hao Ze simultaneously bowed to it with great respect.
Lei Yuan, not far away, glanced at him and said with disdain, "King Yu Rong, you don't need Eldest Sister to act. I can kill you before Danxue Mountain. You are merely a macaque, daring to be insolent before my Danxue Mountain."
Lei Yuan's casual remark revealed the name of this golden figure to the beings present. It was not that they didn't recognize him, but King Yu Rong rarely appeared in the world, generally residing in Zhaoyao Palace as a strategist. The moment King Yu Rong appeared, Jin Ling and the others knew that this scheme had likely been meticulously planned by him for a very, very long time.
"Ranked eighth, Lei Yuan, is that you? Young fellow, this King greatly admires the great fortune of your Phoenix clan. All nine children of the two Emperors are extraordinarily capable, and now you have four Emperors in one lineage, powerful beyond compare. However, even though your Phoenix lineage possesses the ability to control the heavens, today you cannot escape my grasp."
"Young fellow, both Kong Xuan and Yu Yi almost fell into my hands back then. Do you possess their skills?"
"Let alone you, even your elder brother and elder sister would have to show me great respect. While my combat skills might be lacking a bit, in terms of wisdom and strategy, even your Danxue Mountain's two Emperors would have to carefully consider it!"
King Yu Rong's tone was incomparably overbearing, leaving all the beings present in shock. Such arrogant words! Even if the two Emperors of Danxue Mountain were present, King Yu Rong would not be afraid.
"Go!"
That golden long staff surprisingly transformed into a golden feather fan. With a gentle wave, the five million troops behind it sounded their horns. In the dim and unclear sky above, a ten-thousand-zhang black phantom of a Xing Xing appeared. Its agile eyes swept across the entire structure of Danxue Mountain in an instant.
With a golden long staff in hand, a terrifying and invincible aura enveloped the entire Danxue Mountain. As the staff swung, it disrupted the yin and yang of the sky above Danxue Mountain, causing stars to reverse and rivers to flow backward.
The sky over Danxue Mountain, and even the entire Fengzhou Realm, instantly turned dark. Only the ten-thousand-zhang phantom before Danxue Mountain, wielding the golden long staff, caused all things to be immersed in silence, daring not to make a sound.
At this moment, Yun Rou's expression became solemn. King Yu Rong, who had never appeared and had always stayed behind the scenes, suddenly appearing meant he must have had great confidence in annihilating their Danxue Mountain.
