Tianyi watched Ao Chuan leave with a flick of his sleeve and couldn't help but ask in confusion.
"It's nothing, he just wanted some peace and quiet," Feng Lili said calmly.
"That's right."
Tianyi nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
"By the way, we still don't know how to address you, young friend. We've gotten so excited that we've even lost our manners. We hope you won't mind."
Wu Zhenyao looked ashamed.
"Old Wu is a hero of the human race, highly respected. How can you say that?"
“This junior is Feng Lili, from the Phoenix Clan. The one who just passed by is Ao Chuan, from the Dragon Clan. The one who is fighting is Hu Buxiao, from the Spirit Fox Clan. As for the one standing by the city wall with a blank expression, that is Hu Shan, from the Spirit Tiger Clan.”
Feng Lili explained.
Wu Zhenyao nodded. "Little friend Lili, you know how to speak. But, have you come here on some important business?"
"We came here on the orders of our clan to gain experience. When we entered the Heavenly Realm, we encountered Su Bai. The reason we came here was to gather information along the way and follow him."
"That's right."
Wu Zhenyao nodded thoughtfully.
But at this moment, his brows furrowed slightly.
"Then why did you come to this city wall? It's too dangerous here. Your life is in danger at any time. It's not a good place for training."
"Upon meeting Su Bai, we understood the predicament of this place. Therefore, we wish to help the human race guard the city walls. Elder Wu, would you agree?"
"this……"
Wu Zhenyao clearly hadn't anticipated this situation.
Even the group of humans standing nearby looked surprised, not expecting Feng Lili to say such a thing.
Since the complete declaration of war between the human race and other races, the four great spirit races have provided assistance in terms of top-level combat power and resources, but have never sent anyone to help guard the area.
This is due not only to the fact that the four major spirit races each have their own reasons, but also to the reasons of the human race itself.
After all, the border is a crucial defensive position, concerning the survival of the human race. If something goes wrong, no one can bear the responsibility.
"To be frank, young friend Lili, although your cultivation level is not high, your identities are sensitive. Once you fully participate in the war, it is very likely that you will drag the race behind you into great danger, and may even face annihilation."
"Humanity is currently weak, and the old man naturally wants you to stay, but that would not be fair to you. So please go back, even if not for your own sake, think about the race behind you."
After a moment's thought, Wu Zhenyao still firmly and righteously refused.
Feng Lili was not surprised at all by this.
She said nothing, but took out a jade pendant that was as red as blood, with flames burning fiercely inside.
The moment the jade pendant appeared, the surrounding temperature instantly rose to a terrifying level.
Under such high temperatures, all the powerful human warriors present could hardly help but break out in a sweat.
Strangely, the sweat gushing from their bodies was not in the form of water droplets, but rather in black patches the size of sesame seeds.
"This, this, this is actually the supreme magic treasure of the Phoenix Clan, the Nirvana Token that is said to help people cleanse their bodies?"
"But this has always been the Phoenix Clan Chief's Decree, a treasure that only the clan chief is qualified to possess. Little friend Lili, you should put it away quickly. Such a treasure should not be shown to others lightly!"
Upon recognizing the jade pendant, Wu Zhenyao's calm expression immediately turned into one of overwhelming shock.
"It's alright. Treasures are meant to be used. This time, by helping everyone cleanse their bodies, we can also enhance the defense capabilities of the Eastern Theater Command to some extent."
Feng Lili smiled nonchalantly.
The next moment.
Her expression suddenly turned serious.
"Furthermore, Elder Wu, I, Feng Lili, am the next generation patriarch of the Phoenix Clan, appointed by our ancestors. I have come here not only for training, but also to represent the Phoenix Clan in fully joining the battlefield, fighting alongside the human race, and sharing life and death!"
"this……"
"Does Elder Wu look down on my Phoenix Clan?"
"That's not what I meant. It's just that, young friend Lili, your decision was too hasty. Although our two clans are allies, it hasn't reached the point where the Phoenix Clan needs to participate in the war. Moreover, you must understand that mobilizing the entire clan to help is not a good thing for you. Furthermore, given the current situation, I dare not allow the Phoenix Clan's powerful members to come here in large numbers. There are reasons for this, and I hope you can understand."
Wu Zhenyao said in a deep voice.
"It seems that Elder Wu wants a reason."
"If that's the case, then I'll ask you, Elder Wu, for a reason!"
"Although I will mobilize the entire strength of my clan to aid the human race this time, I will only provide assistance to the eastern war zone of Chengtian City, which is this place!"
"Because of Su Bai?" Wu Zhenyao asked.
"yes!"
Feng Lili nodded without hesitation.
"It seems that young friend Lili knows some secrets about Su Bai that are unknown to ordinary people. Otherwise, with young friend Lili's wisdom, she would not have made such a decision so easily."
"I wonder, in Elder Wu's opinion, is the reason I, Feng Lili, have given sufficient?"
Wu Zhenyao pondered for a moment, and finally nodded.
"Human Wu Zhenyao thanks the young clan leader and the Phoenix Clan for their tireless assistance!"
That's all.
Wu Zhenyao took a step back and clasped his hands in a salute.
A group of powerful human warriors followed behind.
Whoosh!
A streak of fiery red light swept by, and all the humans were helped to their feet.
"Since this decision has been made, there will be no distinction between our two races."
"Right now, we are under heavy blockade by foreign tribes, and I am unable to contact my clan. When Su Bai arrives, I will definitely write a letter to my Phoenix Clan, asking them to send a strong person with supplies!"
"I'm afraid we'll have to wait a few more days. Su Bai doesn't come here every day these days," Wu Zhenyao sighed.
"Why? Didn't Elder Wu say that Su Bai would come to help kill the foreign tribes?" Feng Lili asked in confusion.
"That's true, but he's too strong. Since he killed more than twenty foreign half-saint level experts a few days ago, Heavenly Demon City hasn't sent any experts here for several days!"
