The Phoenix Demon Lotus was still in full bloom, and it would not wither for a long time. It was as dreamy and enchanting as the holy flower of heaven, but it also released a destructive aura like the lava of hell.
In the center of the demon lotus, a flaming stamen held a figure that slowly rose up. Yun Che, his whole body ablaze, holding a heavy sword, appeared in everyone's sight. He looked a little weak, his whole body trembling, panting, and it seemed that he could barely stand, but his eyes were still so sharp that people dared not look directly at him. People stared at him blankly... At this moment, it was as if they saw the king of fire who reigned supreme!
“This is… the fifth and sixth realms of the World Ode of the Phoenix! These are realms that your Divine Phoenix Sect… has never reached! For five thousand years, the highest realm of your Divine Phoenix World Ode of the Phoenix has only reached the fourth realm!” Yun Che panted heavily, but his voice was like thunder: “Now, do you still want to say… that my phoenix bloodline comes from your Divine Phoenix Sect!!”
Yun Che came to the Seven Nations Ranking Tournament to settle the grudge with the Divine Phoenix Sect… However, this “resolve” did not mean to settle the grudge with the Divine Phoenix Sect, and there was no way to settle it. The result he wanted was to make the Divine Phoenix Sect go from being proactive to being passive under the gaze of the world!
He has the blood of the Phoenix, so the Phoenix Divine Sect wants to "clean up the sect" on him, which is justified in the eyes of the world. But as long as he can prove that his blood is not from the Phoenix Divine Sect, then their pursuit will be unwarranted.
And the best time is the Seven Nations Ranking Tournament with the four holy places by the side, watched by all the heroes in the world!
Otherwise, if he went directly to the Divine Phoenix Sect, even if he could prove that his bloodline really did not come from the Divine Phoenix Sect... he would be courting death.
Moreover, after becoming famous in the ranking battles, the Phoenix Divine Sect would have to be cautious even if they wanted to assassinate him, let alone kill him.
Before coming to Divine Phoenix City, Yun Che had thought that the best way to prove himself was to defeat the strongest of the younger generation of the Phoenix Sect, leaving them speechless and forcing them to admit it! If the Phoenix Sect still wanted to blame him, then the Four Sacred Grounds, which had always been known for their benevolence and righteousness, would most likely come forward, and the profound practitioners of the six nations would also stand on his side under the historical glory he brought to the six nations, putting pressure on the Divine Phoenix Empire... However, the probability of success was only 50-50. But after Jasmine told him that the Phoenix Spirit had been destroyed, his chances of success increased to 70-80%.
Therefore, in this way, he could unleash the fifth and sixth levels of the World Ode of the Phoenix without any scruples! And this was the most solid and irrefutable proof of his bloodline!
As for Xia Yuanba's arrival, it indirectly gave him an extra layer of protection from the Royal Holy Land, which was completely unexpected.
The Phoenix Demon Lotus began to slowly wither, and after ten breaths, it completely disappeared from everyone's sight. However, the shock and visual impact it caused were deeply imprinted in everyone's hearts and souls.
Of course, doing so would undoubtedly make the Phoenix Divine Sect want to kill him even more... because they would never allow another Phoenix branch to appear and multiply in the Profound Sky Continent, and a branch whose Phoenix Profound Art is two realms higher than theirs! They would also strongly covet his Phoenix World Ode.
However, Yun Che would rather the Phoenix Divine Sect develop a murderous intention towards him that was a hundred or a thousand times stronger than before, and he would never allow them to take it for granted that they were hunting him down! He would not allow himself to be hunted down as a matter of course in the eyes of the world!
This is his dignity and arrogance!
After the Burning Star Demonic Lotus disappeared, the bodies of the nine Phoenix disciples also appeared in the place that was previously covered by the Fire Lotus. They were all covered in blood, and each of them was seriously injured, but none of them died. Obviously, although they were submerged under the Fire Lotus, they were not harmed... This was the face and leeway that Yun Che left for the Phoenix Divine Sect, and it was even a gift... Because if the nine most talented young disciples of the younger generation were buried, it would be a huge loss that the Phoenix Divine Sect could not assess.
As for whether they would appreciate it or not, and whether they had any shame or not, that would depend on the Divine Phoenix Sect itself. Yun Che, who had always been vindictive, had done his utmost to be kind and righteous by doing this.
In the silence, a sharp voice came from the seats, completely breaking the silence.
“Wow! Did you hear that? The fifth and sixth realms of the World Ode of the Phoenix! Doesn’t the World Ode of the Phoenix Sect only have four realms? What’s going on?!”
The person who spoke was Ling Jie. He gathered all his profound strength and spoke at the loudest volume, fearing that no one could hear him.
“Isn’t this obvious?” Hua Minghai immediately interjected, his voice several notches louder than Ling Jie’s: “This means that Yun Che’s Phoenix bloodline and World Ode of the Phoenix did not come from the Divine Phoenix Sect at all.”
"Hmm? But isn't the Divine Phoenix Sect the only one in Profound Sky Continent that has the Phoenix Bloodline and the World Ode of the Phoenix?"
“You are stupid! The Phoenix bloodline of the Phoenix Sect comes from the inheritance of the Phoenix Remnant Spirit, but who told you that there is only one Phoenix inheritance in the Profound Sky Continent! In the past five thousand years, only the Phoenix Sect had the Phoenix bloodline, which only means that other Phoenix inheritances have not been discovered. But now, it has been found by Yun Che. Didn’t Yun Che also clearly say before that his Phoenix bloodline did not come from the Phoenix Sect, but from another Phoenix inheritance.”
“Before, I definitely didn’t believe it. However, Feng Xiluo, who has the highest talent in this generation of the Divine Phoenix Sect and has the strongest Phoenix bloodline power, was completely defeated by Yun Che. Now Yun Che has demonstrated the power of the fifth and sixth levels of the World Ode of the Phoenix… These two points are ironclad proof! If you don’t believe this, your brain must be filled with shit!!”
“You’re right! Yun Che’s phoenix bloodline definitely cannot be from the Divine Phoenix Sect, and the World Ode of the Phoenix is even less likely… Wow! It turns out that there is another phoenix inheritance in our Profound Sky Continent. My heart is beginning to surge. After the ranking battle is over, I must desperately look for it… Don’t let anyone hold me back!”
Ling Jie and Hua Minghai sang in unison, and every word affected everyone's thoughts. The arena gradually began to be completely filled with discussions. If it was at the beginning of the Seven Nations Qualifying Tournament, Yun Che claimed that his phoenix bloodline was not from the Phoenix Sect, no one in the audience would believe it. But he completely defeated Feng Xiluo and showed a higher level, and a whole two levels of Phoenix World Ode... No one could help but believe it!
The discussion in the arena was getting louder and louder, and almost all of them were voices saying, "Yun Che's bloodline couldn't possibly come from the Phoenix Divine Sect." The leader, elders, and princes of the Phoenix Divine Sect all looked gloomy, and they had never thought that things would turn out like this.
The Phoenix Divine Sect originally treated Yun Che as an ordinary person with bloodline leakage. People of Feng Hengkong and Feng Feiyan’s level only occasionally asked about him and didn’t take it seriously at all… because no matter who the other party was, he would not be able to escape the fate of being purged. In fact, they didn’t even bother to interfere with the Seven Nations Ranked Tournament because of Yun Che, so during the competition, they didn’t take the initiative to mention his Phoenix bloodline.
But they didn't expect that, under Yun Che's step-by-step guidance and performance, the development of this matter would reach a situation that they could not even dream of.
Now, even they themselves have come to believe that Yun Che's bloodline is indeed not from the Phoenix Sect, and the Phoenix World Ode is even less so... However, they absolutely cannot admit this fact. Once they admit it in public, they will no longer have the right to "protect the bloodline" and "clean up the house" against Yun Che. And Yun Che will surely be famous after what happened today. By then, not only will it be impossible to attack him openly, but even attacking him secretly will be extremely difficult... It is estimated that even if others want to target Yun Che, they will immediately suspect him of being from the Phoenix Sect.
If they acknowledged Yun Che's bloodline and allowed him to leave peacefully today, then in the Profound Sky Continent, their Phoenix Divine Sect would no longer be the only sect of the gods! How could they allow such a thing to happen!
Feng Ximing glanced at Feng Hengkong's ugly face, took a deep breath, stood up, and shouted loudly: "What nonsense! It's completely nonsense! Don't be deceived by his nonsense! In the Profound Sky Continent, there has only been one Phoenix God since ancient times, and there is only one Phoenix inheritance sect! The great Phoenix God of our Phoenix Divine Sect has said more than once that it is the only Phoenix remnant in the entire Profound Sky Continent! If there are other Phoenix remnant spirits, how could our Lord Phoenix God not notice it! If there are other Phoenix inheritances, how could it have not been found for five thousand years!!"
“This Yun Che… no matter how he tries to argue or cover up, his Phoenix Profound Veins cannot possibly come from other Phoenix inheritances. Coming from our Divine Phoenix Sect is the only possibility!”
Feng Ximing's words were full of righteousness, but anyone who heard them would feel that they were just making up stories. Xia Yuanba turned around and roared, "You're talking nonsense! My brother-in-law was defeated by one of the top ten disciples of your Divine Phoenix Sect, and he was worse than a dog! You actually have the nerve to say that my brother-in-law's bloodline comes from your Divine Phoenix Sect? Bah! This is simply an insult to my brother-in-law!"
Xia Yuanba’s words were extremely overbearing and even more unpleasant to the ear. Their severity was no less than pouring a basin of shit on the face of the dignified Divine Phoenix Crown Prince in public. Feng Ximing’s face instantly turned the color of liver, and Yun Che also glared at him… Oh my god! These are the words that came out of Yuanba’s mouth! ?
“Yuan Ba, don’t be rude!” Master Gu Cang secretly smiled bitterly and could only symbolically rebuke him. Then he said, “However, in my opinion, Yun Che’s bloodline should not come from your clan. His World Ode of the Phoenix is enough to explain everything.”
Although Master Gu Cang's words were calm, with his strength, background, prestige, and status, he was undoubtedly the one with the highest say in the whole venue. His words were undoubtedly supporting Yun Che... What a joke! His closed disciple was willing to risk his life for Yun Che, and he couldn't keep silent even if he wanted to. What's more, he was in awe of Yun Che and loved his talent. Even if there was no relationship with Xia Yuanba, he would still speak for Yun Che.
When Master Gu Cang spoke, Feng Hengkong and the others looked even uglier. Feng Ximing took a deep breath, bowed to Master Gu Cang, and said forcefully, “Senior Gu’s words are of course binding. But… this matter involves the bloodline taboos of our Divine Phoenix Sect, and there can be no compromise. The fact that he defeated my fourteenth brother only shows that he is very talented, and has nothing to do with the purity and source of his bloodline. The two moves he just made… he just claimed that they were the fifth and sixth levels of the World Ode of the Phoenix! Who in this world has actually seen a higher level of the World Ode of the Phoenix? Master Phoenix of our sect doesn’t even know the higher levels of the World Ode of the Phoenix, so how could he possibly know it!! It’s clearly just a cover-up using other flame profound skills!!”
As soon as Feng Ximing said these words, Master Gu Cang frowned slightly, and Xia Yuanba's hair stood up instantly. He was about to curse when suddenly a delicate voice rang out:
“Oh my, oh my, oh my… Look at what Xiao Mingming said, so disrespectful, I can’t stand it anymore… Xiao Mingming, I’m not saying anything bad to you, you are after all the little prince of Divine Phoenix, your father is after all Xiao Kongkong, how can you speak so disrespectfully… As a person, you must have some disrespect, even if you don’t want disrespect, the Divine Phoenix Sect still has to have it, even if the Divine Phoenix Sect doesn’t want disrespect, the Divine Phoenix Country still has to have it… Xiao Mingming, listen, quickly pick up the disrespect you don’t want, I hate people who don’t want disrespect the most.”
