The Phoenix Clan is a bunch of lunatics
Despite the pain, Mo Zuili channeled her divine sense into the Sumeru Bracelet and randomly selected a magic weapon of slightly higher grade than the one that had just self-destructed. The magic weapon exploded with a loud "boom" the moment it was summoned.
This time, the man noticed Mo Zuili's little trick, but the power of the magic weapon's self-destruction was not as easy to stop as the fire talisman. Not to mention that the magic weapon in the Sumeru Bracelet was carefully selected by Mo Yuan for Mo Zuili's self-defense or as a gift, and its grade was all at least fifth level.
While the man was mobilizing his spiritual power to defend himself, Mo Zuili took advantage of his unpreparedness and kicked him, successfully throwing him to the ground from his arms once again.
Ignoring the man's reaction, the moment she landed, Mo Zuili took out another magical artifact, exploded it, and threw it out in one swift motion.
Mo Zuili was worried that the man had set up a sound-isolating array in the courtyard. Even though the noise from the three self-destruction of the spiritual artifacts was loud enough, she still managed to get up unsteadily and run towards the courtyard gate.
Perhaps the initial inhalation of the drug that had clouded his mind was too strong, for Nirvana Fire only took full effect at this moment, restoring Mo Zuili's senses to clarity.
The courtyard of the Mo family was as big as a playground. Mo Zuili ran halfway before being caught by the man again.
Before she could even despair, Mo Zuili saw the courtyard gate slam open, and Old Tan stood at the door with sharp eyes, staring straight at the man behind Mo Zuili.
The sense of redemption at this moment was no less than when someone suddenly hands Mo Zuili a power bank when her phone only had 1% battery left while she was walking down the street.
The man was holding onto Mo Zuili, and even under these circumstances, he still wanted to forcibly take her away.
After exchanging blows with Elder Tan for several rounds, he was finally subdued by Mo Yuan, who arrived at the scene.
Even though he was forced to kneel on the ground by Mo Yuan, the man still refused to admit defeat and cursed, "A bunch of despicable humans, how dare they give the princess medicine to suppress her Nirvana Fire! They are hindering the princess's rebirth!"
Mo Zuili was helped up by Shen Ling, who had just arrived. The spirit-binding rope on her body had just been removed when she heard these words. She grabbed Shen Ling's sleeve angrily and said, "Senior brother, take me there... cough cough!"
When Shen Ling heard Mo Zuili cough, he took out some medicine and prepared to let Mo Zuili take the medicine before venting his anger. Unexpectedly, when Mo Zuili saw that Shen Ling did not move, he used the last bit of his strength to shake off Shen Ling's support.
He casually pointed to a maid standing to the side and asked her to lead him over.
The maid, who had been guarding outside the courtyard and was completely unaware of the changes inside, was anxiously waiting for the head of the family to hold her accountable. Upon hearing Mo Zuili's order, and adhering to the principle of making amends by only following orders, she quickly stepped forward to help the person up and take her away.
"After the princess is reborn, she can lead us to..." He was interrupted halfway through his sentence by Mo Zuili flicking her whip, which struck him.
Mo Zuili was panting heavily, his chest churning with boundless rage.
"Why are you making decisions for her... for me! Did you even ask if I wanted to return to the Phoenix Clan? If I hadn't been implanted with the Nirvana Flame, I would have already broken through to the Golden Core stage by now!"
Clutching her chest, Mo Zuili turned to look at the large group of people who had rushed over because of the commotion that night. She calmed herself down and didn't continue speaking.
Mo Yuan noticed Mo Zuili's gaze and waved for the Mo family elders to take her to the Mo family dungeon. He then reached out and held Mo Zuili's wrist, transferring spiritual energy to her, and said, "Go and rest first. I'll take you to the dungeon tomorrow."
Mo Yuan waved his sleeve to disperse the crowd. Mo Zuili took the pill handed to her by Chen Ling, thanked him in a low voice, and then followed Mo Yuan to the other courtyard to rest.
This time, no further accidents occurred. Mo Zuili only managed to doze off briefly in the latter half of the night. Before dawn, she took the Rejuvenation Pill and went to find Mo Yuan to see that man.
The man remained silent after being captured until Mo Zuili came to question him, at which point he finally spoke.
"What's your name? Why did you come looking for me last night? When was Nirvana planted in me? What exactly do you want?!"
Mo Zuili's last question was tinged with anger.
After a long silence, the man finally spoke truthfully: "My name is Huang Geng. Some time ago, the elders of the clan sensed something unusual about the princess, and the speed at which the Nirvana Fire devoured her slowed down. The demon clan's trial is about to begin, and the princess needs to complete her Nirvana Rebirth as soon as possible to return to my Phoenix Clan and succeed to the throne."
Mo Zuili ignored his nonsense and stubbornly pressed on, "When you planted the Nirvana Flame in me, did you also just drug me and take me away?"
Huang Geng did not answer directly, but insisted, "The Nirvana Fire originally belonged to you. I urge the princess to complete her Nirvana Rebirth as soon as possible, and let your subordinates protect you as you return to the Phoenix Clan to succeed to the throne. The group of traitors who support Huang Tianyao have already targeted you. If you continue to stay in the human race, you will be in danger."
Mo Yuan, who had been standing to the side, finally couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted, "Shut up! She shouldn't have gone back with you! You're just sending her to her death!"
Huang Geng's eyes were bloodshot: "Despicable human! If you hadn't taken the princess away, she would have received the best education in the Phoenix Clan from birth..."
"What did you teach her? To grow up and mature so that she would have children and try to be reborn through a near-death experience for your sake?! If it weren't for you, how could Yingyan have..." Mo Yuan suddenly stopped midway through his sentence, glanced at Mo Zuili, and didn't continue.
Instead, she stiffly changed the subject, saying, "Nannan, let's go. Don't waste your breath on him. Someone will pry him open his mouth, and when that's the time you want to know, someone will come and tell you."
Mo Zuili really didn't want to stay and make herself angry any longer, so she turned around and left with Mo Yuan without looking back at Huang Geng, who was frantically calling for her to be reborn and return to the Phoenix Clan to succeed to the throne.
Stepping out of the dungeon, Mo Zuili grabbed Mo Yuan and asked, "Was my mother Yingyan? Did I know that before?"
Mo Yuan sighed and led Mo Zuili back to his study, saying, "I know, I've told you about her since you were little. She is the queen of the demon race who unified the two phoenix races. After you were born, I took you back to the human race and hid your half-demon bloodline and the phoenix spirit physique that your royal bloodline brought about."
"But since you were ambushed before, I couldn't find any connection to the Phoenix Clan; I could only guess it was related to the Demon Clan. Don't believe what that person said. At home, use the Pill Master's method to utilize the Nirvana Fire; you can continue cultivating. I'll find a way to solidify your foundation."
Mo Yuan paused for a moment, his gaze passing through Mo Zuili and landing on someone else: "Don't go back with them. Those old fogies of the Phoenix Clan have gone mad. They only want the Phoenix Clan and the Phoenix Clan to be united forever, completely disregarding the Demon King himself. This is what the so-called Queen of the Phoenix Clan thinks. Now the two clans are at odds. If you go, you'll only be pushed out to your death."
Seeing Mo Yuan's distraught expression and Huang Geng's desire to return and succeed to the throne, Mo Zuili could guess that her own mother was probably no longer alive.
Mo Zuili lowered her eyes, sorting through the chaotic information from all sides, and remained silent for a long time.
Mo Yuan waited for a long time, not knowing what he had imagined, and finally compromised, saying, "If you really want to go back and receive the inheritance to cultivate as a demon, I will not stop you. But you must not easily believe what they say, and don't bother with the mess of the Phoenix Clan."
Mo Zuili pressed her forehead and nodded in agreement, "I won't go to my death. I haven't thought it through yet. I'll try using Master's method to cultivate by taking pills first. I'm just curious about how to stop the other force from chasing me. I don't want to keep hiding forever."
Mo Yuan was unaware of this matter. After talking with his father, who had been pushing himself away, Mo Zuili, with his mind still foggy, went to his bedroom to rest and sort out his thoughts.
Mo Yuan was chosen to become the young master of the Mo family from a young age, and is now the head of the Mo family; while Ying Yan was born into the Phoenix Clan and was the holy maiden of the Phoenix Clan in the prophecy that she could be with both the Phoenix Clan and the Phoenix Clan, and Ying Yan has indeed fulfilled that promise.
The two races were unified; a hundred years ago, the demon race was collectively known as the Phoenix Clan.
However, after Yingyan came to power, the Phoenix Clan demanded that Yingyan, as queen, bear children in order to continue their bloodline.
At that time, Yingyan was already in love with Moyuan, but the demon race always looked down on the human race, so the two were in love in secret.
Whether male or female, phoenixes can transfer their cultivation to their offspring at birth. Furthermore, female phoenixes undergo a rebirth after childbirth, and the higher their cultivation level, the more dangerous the rebirth becomes.
However, Mo Yuan is not a demon and cannot pass on his cultivation to his child. If Ying Yan were to give birth, she would need to pass on her cultivation to her child before undergoing a rebirth.
After the transmission of cultivation, Yingyan's actual cultivation level decreased, but during Nirvana, the danger level would still be based on the highest cultivation level.
Therefore, Yingyan never thought about having children. Demons are naturally long-lived, and with Yingyan's cultivation at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage and about to enter the Dao Integration stage, living for over a thousand years is not a problem.
However, the Phoenix Clan, mainly the former Phoenix Clan, needs an heir. They believe that as long as there is an heir, even if Yingyan is in trouble, the situation can be stabilized and the Phoenix Clan will not split again.
After learning that Yingyan was in love with a human, they devised a scheme against her.
Mo Zuili originally thought that Yingyan had to have children in order to continue being with Mo Yuan because of this open conspiracy.
As a result, Yingyan believed that she had protected Mo Yuan's identity very well. She found out that the Phoenix Clan only knew that Mo Yuan was a human, but did not know that he was the head of the Mo family. So she sent Mo Yuan back to the human race.
They tore apart the conspiracy themselves and carried out a major purge of the Phoenix Clan. They dared to plot against the Phoenix Queen and the Demon King who ruled the entire demon race. They must be tired of living!
The only thing Yingyan didn't calculate correctly was that these lunatics' pursuit of the stable continuation of the Phoenix Clan's unity had reached a point of madness.
Even if it means his soul is scattered, he will still curse Yingyan to give birth to a child.
Unable to find any other way, Yingyan went to the Mo family to find Mo Yuan. After becoming pregnant, she returned to the demon realm to rest and prepare for childbirth. What happened in between was unknown to Mo Yuan.
All that is known is that during her final birth, Yingyan did not pass on her cultivation to Zitui, and even so, her final rebirth still failed.
Mo Yuan received Ying Yan's last letter, asking him to take the child away.
When I arrived, the Phoenix Clan, which had only recently stabilized, was already in complete chaos.
Because the letter was sent along with Sakura Flame, it was marked with a phoenix emblem unique to Sakura Flame.
Although Mo Yuan expended considerable effort, he ultimately managed to bring Mo Zuili out of the demon realm without any major incidents.
If what Mo Yuan said is true, then the old guys of the Phoenix Clan are indeed a bunch of lunatics.
Thinking back to Huang Geng she had seen today, Mo Zuili pondered for a moment and concluded that even if what Mo Yuan said was false, the Phoenix Clan was still a bunch of lunatics.
We should take the Qi Refining Pill as soon as possible, and then try to find out if the Phoenix Clan knows the location of the Dragon Clan and how to enter. After finding a way to consolidate our cultivation, we should leave this world with Qi Shuyan as soon as possible.
It's possible that Mo Zuili was suddenly attacked by the Phoenix Clan and almost taken away. Knowing that the Mo family was not safe, Mo Yuan found someone on the third day who was closest to Mo Zuili in bloodline and whose strength was sufficient to protect Mo Zuili.
Mo Zuili sat cross-legged in the center, tilted his head back and swallowed the Refining Essence Pill.
