Chapter 378: Phoenix Battle (1)
Central mainland, Tiancheng
There were only a few scattered people in an inconspicuous little teahouse on the edge of Tiancheng. Compared to the bustling street, it was unusually quiet here.
On the second floor of the teahouse, Xing Zhan sat in a wheelchair, looking out the window.
Not long after, a cloaked visitor came into his sight.
The teahouse was temporarily closed and the windows were shut.
About half an hour later, the visitor pushed Xing Zhan away, completely unaware that an old friend was sitting in the inn opposite.
Cheng Wuchou stood behind Tao Zi, watching Xing Zhan leave, and said, "The Yisan Sect must be getting anxious."
"Don't you want to go to the Cheng family?"
He shook his head and said, "That's not necessary."
She nodded, stood up and said, "It's noon now, let's have a meal before leaving."
The three people and the fox sat in the lobby and had a meal before leaving.
The waiter was clearing the table while muttering, "What a weirdo! He assigned a room, but in the end he refused to stay. Is he too expensive?"
The innkeeper scolded, "What are you mumbling about? Clean up now!"
The group sat on the spirit ship, watching the sect getting closer and closer. The Thousand Needle Doctor said with emotion: "We are finally back."
Cheng Wuchou glanced at his friend and jokingly said, "Return? Don't forget, we are just guest elders."
He said unhappily, "Why, no? No matter how weak the Yisan Sect is, it's still stronger than your messed up Xujia Sect."
He was about to speak, but happened to meet his sister's gaze, and the words on his lips changed, and finally became: "Indeed, just because my sister is in Yisanmen, Yisanmen is stronger than Xujiamen."
Tao Zi was silent for three seconds. It seemed like she hadn't done anything. Why did her brother change his words halfway and drag her into this? It was really strange.
The Thousand Needle Doctor rolled his eyes in a very rude manner, too lazy to pay attention to his friend, and started thinking about other things.
As soon as they arrived near the sect, they noticed something was wrong.
Cheng Wuchou said solemnly: "Demonic energy."
Tao Zi thought of Little Phoenix and her face immediately darkened. Everyone hurried back.
As expected, a group of demon cultivators surrounded the Yisan Sect. Fortunately, there were many cultivators standing in the sect, even Yue Qingya and Liu Tiao were present.
As soon as the spirit ship came over, many people's attention shifted.
Tao Zi jumped off the boat and his eyes swept across the demon in the middle of the demon cultivators. It turned out to be the powerful nine-tailed fox. No wonder the little fox hid on the boat and refused to come down.
But this powerful man is really a busy demon. He was in the demon world not long ago, and now he has run here.
The powerful Nine-tailed Fox's gaze fell on the spirit ship, and then looked at her, his eyes became more complicated.
Standing in the center on the human cultivator side was a Mahayana cultivator from the Minglan Sect. She had seen him once from afar, when he was the honorific elder of Bamboo Peak. Beside him was a Mahayana cultivator from the Sword Sect, who seemed to be a junior fellow of the Sword Sect's leader.
Seeing her return, the elder of Minglan Sect asked, "Master Sister of Yisan Sect?"
"yes."
The Sword Sect elder nodded and said, "It's good that you're back. This little phoenix recognizes you as its mother, so this matter requires your participation."
Tao Zi pretended not to know and asked in confusion, "What's going on?"
A demon from the demon cultivators' side shouted, "Stop pretending! This phoenix belongs to our demon race. How can we let you humans raise it?"
She turned around and gave the Nine-Tailed Fox Mighty a meaningful look, then said, "In the eyes of the human race, the little phoenix is not a demon, but a divine beast."
This means that the demon race is not qualified to raise children.
A demon cultivator cursed, "That's just sophistry!"
The Sword Sect elder snorted softly, looked directly at the Nine-tailed Fox master, and said, "Lan Yue, can you represent the entire demon world?"
It turns out that this powerful person's name is Lan Yue, which sounds pretty nice.
Lan Yue glanced at the room where the little phoenix was and said, "I came here just to take the phoenix away. If I can't take it away, other demon cultivators will come."
"Then it can no longer represent you." Jian Zong made a gesture to ask them to leave and said, "Send the leader of your demon tribe over here."
His expression turned cold, and he said, "No matter who is in charge of the demon tribe, they will not allow the phoenix to stay here!"
Tao Zi suddenly raised her voice and called out, "Little Phoenix."
The little phoenix opened the door and walked out of the house step by step. Finally, it fluttered onto Tao Zi's shoulder and called out obediently, "Mother."
She smiled and asked, "Do you want to stay with your parents, or go to the demon tribe?"
It replied without hesitation: "Of course I stay with my parents."
The demon cultivator who had been shouting before spoke again: "The Phoenix is still young, how can I allow you to deceive me!"
The little phoenix glanced at him disdainfully and said, "I have an inheritance."
The demon cultivator choked, but still said stubbornly: "Little Phoenix, you are a demon, you should be with us."
It snorted, puffed out its chest, and inexplicably took on a bit of pride: "The demon tribe is the demon tribe, and the phoenix is the phoenix. Don't confuse them. Just like ten thousand years ago, the beast tribe was the beast tribe and the demon was the demon. I am only a phoenix, not a demon."
The demon cultivators were almost pissed off by this disloyal little phoenix, but they had no choice but to endure it because this was the last phoenix after all.
The elder of the Minglan Sect was amused and said, "Little Phoenix doesn't want to go with you. Don't force it, or you'll create a rift."
Lan Yue's expression changed. She looked at Little Phoenix and said, "Little Phoenix, you should know that you should be closer to the demon race than the human race."
Little Phoenix was biased to the end: "I don't know, I only know that the people who saved me were my mother and father."
A demon cultivator looked at the little phoenix greedily and suggested, "Just rob it by force."
That look made anyone who saw it feel uncomfortable. At this moment, some people belatedly remembered that the demons seemed to often devour each other. The little phoenix was still relatively weak. If it was targeted...
Tao Zi raised her eyes and said, "Senior Lanyue, you should be familiar with the habits of the demon race. The little phoenix is still too weak, and I don't feel safe letting it go to the demon race. How about this, let the little phoenix become stronger first, and then let it go to the demon world?"
Lan Yue hesitated for a moment, then continued, "Is the Nine-Tailed Clan so confident that they can protect the Phoenix?"
The little phoenix also said: "In the inheritance I received, the relationship between my clan and the Nine-Tailed Clan is quite good, but the clans we are enemies with are also not weak."
His brows gradually relaxed, as if he had made a decision. Before he could speak, a voice rang out in the air: "The phoenix is a demon. How can it be left to the human race? Lan Yue, don't be confused!"
Everyone looked up and saw a shadow appear in the air. Its appearance was blurry, but the aura it exuded could not be underestimated. The two Mahayana cultivators became serious.
Tao Zi could clearly sense that the little phoenix on her shoulder had gone from being relaxed to being nervous.
The demon in the air said again: "Lan Yue, I know your father is on good terms with the Phoenix Clan, but this matter now involves more than just the Nine-Tailed Clan."
