Feng Rong opened his eyes, turned his head, and gave the other person a strange look, his brows furrowing and relaxing, his expression conflicted, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking. But You You inexplicably understood his gaze; it was clearly... the look of someone looking at an idiot.

“Phoenix God Lord…” Mingye thought he was somewhat tempted and continued to entice him, “I know this woman does have some unique qualities, and her power is unlike that of other celestial maidens. But there are plenty of women in the world. As long as the Phoenix Clan returns to the world, all will surely submit and the ancient glory will be restored. At that time, what kind of woman can’t be found? Even celestial maidens will be no exception. So why should Phoenix God Lord be my enemy now?”

"..." Feng Rong's expression became even more conflicted.

Mingye continued to tempt them, "As long as the Divine Lord doesn't interfere this time and helps us, we can naturally obtain everything. How about it?"

Feng Rong still didn't reply, but glanced at him up and down before giving a serious response after a while.

"Are you...blind?"

Mingye: "..."

Youyou: "..."

Everyone: "..."

"Knowing I'm from the Phoenix Clan, you think you're so great!" Feng Rong pointed to her forehead with a straight face and launched into a tirade, "See this seal? Open your dog eyes and look carefully, this is the contract of a follower. Don't you know our clan only recognizes one person for life, the kind that's inseparable even in death! I searched for so long to choose this person, and you actually want to deal with her right in front of me, and you expect me not to interfere? Did you pour your brain into the water jug ​​when you were washing your hair?"

"..."

"Don't even mention your supposedly unverifiable method of awakening her. Even if you offered the entire Three Realms in exchange, go ask any phoenix in ancient times which one would agree? You're insulting my divine status! Dare to touch her and see if I don't beat you! What do you mean there are plenty of women in the world... Do you know how hard it is for our Phoenix Clan to find a wife? A phoenix who can find one as quickly as I have is the only one in the world! No one can compare!" For the Phoenix Clan, as long as they find a wife, everything else is nothing.

"..."

"I've disliked you for a long time. You're so stupid, you see everyone as an ocean. Our Phoenix Clan is an ancient divine clan, and we're very upright. Do you think everyone is like you, with such unique tastes? It's one thing if you don't like decent girls, but you keep a male demon immortal by your side, and even use such underhanded methods as possession and locking inner cores to cover it up. And you think you can corrupt me like that? Bah! Dream on!"

Everyone: "..."

The entire celestial palace fell silent. Everyone seemed to have been reminded of something. They glanced at the motionless Seventh Emperor on the ground, then turned to look at Mingye.

Suddenly I feel like I've discovered some incredible truth!

Why does it seem so reasonable? Is being love-struck contagious?

But this person still had the audacity to ramble on and on: "Hmph! You're a pervert yourself, and you want to drag me into your group? Listen up, I'm a legitimate phoenix, the kind with a contract!"

In an instant, Mingye's face turned like a palette of colors, from green to purple, then purple to black, until he finally couldn't help but shout, "Shut up!"

"What?!" Feng Rong's aura grew even more arrogant, and she even summoned a fireball in her hand, tossing it as she said, "If you want to fight, then come on! Do you think I'm afraid of you?"

"You're courting death!" Mingye seemed to have completely given up on the idea of ​​turning Feng Rong against him. He immediately summoned his magic weapon and rushed over in a fit of rage, no longer wanting to hear a single word from Feng Rong's mouth.

The sea of ​​fire raged again, and the two were now locked in battle. Mingye unleashed his full divine power, eager to regain his honor, and glared back at the other two divine lords below, saying, "What are you standing there for? Attack!"

The other two deities were stunned for a moment, as if they had just come to their senses, and then joined the battle.

The three of them fought against Feng Rong together, but it was hard to tell if it was just my imagination, but during their fight, the two of them seemed to be intentionally or unintentionally keeping their distance from Ming Ye, unlike when they were working together seamlessly at the beginning, as if they were afraid of catching something.

Feng Rong is an ancient god, which gives her a natural advantage. In addition, she has the racial skill Phoenix True Fire. Although her opponents are also gods, she is not at a disadvantage in a three-on-one fight. On the contrary, she seems to be suppressing them.

The entire celestial palace was almost completely destroyed by these few people, and many immortals fled in panic. The entire Seventh Heaven turned red. A wolfish glint flashed in Mingye's eyes. Seeing the phoenix in front of him that could summon a vast sea of ​​fire with a wave of its hand, his rationality finally returned little by little.

He had always known that the Phoenix Clan had been seeking a way to awaken again, and he did indeed have a method. Therefore, he had never considered Feng Rong a threat, and even hoped to gain some assistance through this method. But he truly hadn't expected that the mighty ancient Phoenix Clan would have such a thought process! It's true that the Phoenix Clan is devoted to only one person in their lifetime, but no one had ever told him that such devotion could rise to the level of divinity!

The opponent's ruthless approach clearly indicated that it wasn't just a simple rejection of his proposal, but rather that they genuinely felt his words had offended his dignity as a god and as a phoenix.

It seems that today's matter cannot be resolved so simply. Neither this phoenix nor that celestial maiden can be spared. Mingye gritted his teeth, turned his head to look at the increasing distance between Feng Rong and the pool, sneered, and suddenly shouted to the immortals surrounding the pool, "What are you waiting for? Quickly capture that celestial maiden who plotted to harm the Emperor!"

The male immortals who had been surrounding the sacred pool suddenly realized what was happening and summoned their magical artifacts to rush forward. Taking advantage of Feng Rong being restrained by the Divine Lord, they headed straight for You You, and in an instant, the sky was filled with magical light.

Mingye was secretly delighted. He had deliberately retreated while fighting, and at this distance, Feng Rong wouldn't have enough time to go back and save her. Not only would this distract him, but he could also capture the newly ascended celestial maiden, allowing him to eliminate her in one fell swoop.

However... Feng Rong did not turn around.

"..."

Even after hearing his command, the flames he unleashed didn't weaken; in fact, their power increased. He made no attempt to turn back and stop the immortals, seemingly unconcerned about the celestial maiden being captured.

Mingye was somewhat bewildered. What happened to the Phoenix Clan's unyielding divine status of love?

Before he could react, a loud shout came from the other side, echoing through the sky.

"With no man in my heart, I naturally become a god when I draw my sword!"

In an instant, sword light flashed...

The overwhelming sword light, with its world-destroying power, completely engulfed the entire celestial palace. The dazzling white sword energy pulled the sky back to daylight, and even the phoenix flames that filled the sky were swept away with the sword light.

"..."
