Eat Little Almonds
Chapter 795 Traitor of the Phoenix Lineage
Feng Xianhua was currently suffering from a massive headache.
As the current patriarch of the Phoenix Clan, Feng Xianhua had definitely inherited a colossal mess.
The strongest member of the Fire Phoenixes had perished in another dimension, body and bones lost forever. The remaining Fire Phoenixes who attempted to retrieve this super powerhouse suffered heavy losses. At the same time, before long, the Black Phoenix branch betrayed the Phoenix Clan.
This series of blows had severely weakened the Phoenix Clan.
Left with no choice, the previous Phoenix Clan patriarch could only lead the entire clan to hide in the Boundless Void, the absolute home ground of the Phoenix Clan, where their combat power would receive a significant boost.
However, this brought the problem of resources.
The Boundless Void didn't have enough food or resources to help them grow stronger. Continuing to keep the clan in the Boundless Void would undoubtedly be a slow death.
After the previous patriarch passed away, Feng Xianhua took over as the patriarch.
She was unwilling to see the Phoenix Clan gradually die out, but she didn't have any good solutions.
Several attempts to move the Phoenix Clan back from the Boundless Void were met with attacks from other divine beast clans.
No clan wanted the Phoenix Clan to return to the Seventh Universe and compete for its resources.
"Another failure?" Feng Xianhua looked at the Blue Phoenix before her with some disappointment.
"Patriarch... it won't work. The moment we left the Boundless Void, the True Dragon Clan immediately attacked us." The Blue Phoenix's body was covered in wounds, clearly from a recent battle.
Disappointment filled Feng Xianhua's phoenix eyes.
When had her Phoenix Clan ever suffered such humiliation?
Feng Xianhua only hated that she had been born too late and her strength had increased too slowly.
If she had the same super combat power as the Fire Phoenix Ancestor back then, how would those other clans dare to bully her Phoenix Clan like this?
Just then, a young, immature phoenix rushed in, flustered.
"P-P-P-Patriarch! There's a human at the entrance of the Phoenix Nest! That human brought back the corpse of a Fire Phoenix, and it seems to be the Ancestor who fell in another dimension back then!"
"What did you say?!" Feng Xianhua was pleasantly surprised.
As a Fire Phoenix herself, she knew very well that as long as the Great Sun Golden Flame was present, Fire Phoenixes, unless they died of old age, could ignite the Nirvana Fire and be reborn! This was a unique ability of the Fire Phoenix branch, and the reason they were called immortal divine birds!
Feng Xianhua didn't have time to think and took flight, rapidly arriving at the entrance of the Phoenix Nest.
The three Grand Elders of the Blue Phoenix, Ice Phoenix, and White Phoenix branches were already guarding the entrance. As soon as Feng Xianhua came out, she saw a handsome human youth standing on the shoulder of a Heaven Swallowing Demonic Ape.
To show respect, Feng Xianhua directly transformed into a human, becoming a stunning beauty draped in a fiery red phoenix robe, her exquisite oval face like a perfect masterpiece sculpted by a sculptor.
Seeing that Feng Xianhua had transformed, the other three Grand Elders didn't stand on ceremony and also transformed into human form to face Qiao Yu.
After all, the phoenix bodies were too large and inconvenient for conversation.
"This human friend, the Fire Phoenix Ancestor's corpse... did you find it and bring it back?" Feng Xianhua couldn't hide her excitement.
"That's right, my big brother Qiao Yu found it, but it was thanks to my guidance that my big brother was able to successfully find the Phoenix Nest!"
The Heaven Swallowing Demonic Ape hurriedly began to take credit. Normally, he was just a pseudo-god tier level five Heaven Swallowing Demonic Ape. Where would he have the opportunity to see so many important figures of the Phoenix Clan?
"Thank you, Qiao Yu! Thank you so much. I am Feng Xianhua, the patriarch of the Phoenix Clan! If you need any help in the future, just ask. My Phoenix Clan will definitely assist you with all our strength!"
Feng Xianhua was too excited to control herself. As long as this Ancestor was resurrected, then her Phoenix Clan would truly be saved.
Qiao Yu's act of returning the Fire Phoenix's corpse was like sending charcoal in the snow for the Phoenix Clan.
The other three Grand Elders also looked at Qiao Yu with undisguised gratitude.
They had long heard that the human race was extremely friendly to the beast race and was a good friend of the beast race. Seeing was believing!
It was no wonder they were so excited. After all, a human bringing back the Fire Phoenix's corpse at this time was like you were about to starve to death, and a giant panda brought you a bowl of pickled cabbage and beef noodles.
Qiao Yu smiled shyly. "Miss Feng Xianhua, you know, I actually do need the Phoenix Clan's help with something."
"Qiao Yu, just say it. As long as we can help, my Phoenix Clan will never refuse!" Feng Xianhua nodded excitedly.
"It's very simple. Just give me the Great Sun Golden Flame." Qiao Yu's smile became even shyer.
Feng Xianhua was stunned. The other three Grand Elders were also stunned. They looked at each other, not knowing how to respond for a moment.
If it were other things, then of course there would be no problem, but the Great Sun Golden Flame... this was the flame that the Fire Phoenix branch relied on to survive. How could they give it to a human?
"Qiao Yu... can you change your request? Once we lose the Great Sun Golden Flame, my Phoenix Clan will lose the ability to be reborn through fire. I believe you can understand, right?" Feng Xianhua's beautiful face was full of apology.
"Don't worry, I only need half of the original fire seed of the Great Sun Golden Flame. I've already learned that if I only take half, it won't affect anything. It will only take a few hundred years for the Great Sun Golden Flame to recover on its own!" Qiao Yu said very considerately.
Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Feng Xianhua and the others' expressions changed drastically!
Then, the Grand Elders and Feng Xianhua surrounded Qiao Yu in the center, intentionally or unintentionally.
"Qiao Yu, what you said is the greatest secret of my Phoenix Clan, only known to core members. How did you, a human, find out about it?" A faint glimmer of coldness appeared in Feng Xianhua's eyes.
"Sigh, how troublesome." Qiao Yu shook his head. "Black Phoenix, why don't you come out and explain it to them yourself?"
Qiao Yu didn't know that all the members of the Black Phoenix branch had betrayed the Phoenix Clan. Black Phoenix's memories from her previous life were somewhat hazy, so she had also forgotten about it.
Therefore, Qiao Yu directly summoned the undead Black Phoenix in front of Feng Xianhua and the others.
Feng Xianhua and the three Grand Elders were first stunned when they saw the Black Phoenix, then their expressions changed, and boundless killing intent surged from their bodies.
The White Phoenix Grand Elder was the most agitated!
"Black Phoenix! You traitors! You chose to betray us when my Phoenix Clan was at its most critical moment, and now you dare to covet the Great Sun Golden Flame? You're courting death!"
