"You...you really obtained the legendary Phoenix Marrow Pill, the Phoenix Inheritance?"
At Qifeng Mountain, Luo Fengjiao was utterly shocked as she looked at the Yuan Dan in Su Yunying's hand, which radiated a rich Daoist aura.
For countless years, no one who has entered the Divine Phoenix Ruins has ever seen what the Phoenix Marrow Pill looks like.
Suppressing the urge to grab it, Luo Fengjiao looked away with great difficulty and gazed at Su Yunying with immense relief.
"Xiao Ying, you truly are the future hope of my Fire Phoenix Clan."
Su Yunying did not reply, but simply indifferently took back the Phoenix Marrow Pill.
Upon hearing this, Shen Zhao, who was sitting to the side, immediately spoke up: "Senior Luo, I would like to ask, is the bet we made in Juzhou City still valid?"
I promised you I'd help Yunying win the Southern Region Immortal Martial Arts Tournament, and I did just that a few months ago.
Now, having received the Divine Phoenix inheritance, your Fire Phoenix clan has greatly enhanced its prestige.
So what about your promise to me now? Why hasn't Yunying become the young master of Qifeng Mountain yet?
"this……"
Luo Fengjiao looked troubled, unsure how to explain the situation to Shen Zhao.
Shen Zhao snorted coldly and poured himself a glass of water.
"Since you can't do it, then let's just forget about it. Yunying doesn't need to waste her time here with you. Come back to the Court of Justice with me."
Upon hearing this, Luo Fengjiao immediately became anxious: "Fellow Daoist Shen, could you please be more accommodating? This matter will take some time. I promise I will definitely make Xiaoying the young master."
"How long will that take?" Shen Zhao countered. "Back then at Pin Yue Ju, you spoke with such righteous indignation, saying that as long as you won the Yunying Southern Region Grand Competition, you would immediately become the young master of Qifeng Mountain."
But now, so much time has passed, and you're telling me it needs more time? Are you kidding me?!
Upon seeing Shen Zhao's anger, Luo Fengjiao felt even more ashamed.
Su Yunying spoke up: "Forget it, boss. Since they're making things difficult for me, I have no interest in this position of young master. I'll just go back with you."
Shen Zhao agreed wholeheartedly: "Alright, in that case, let's go today."
Luo Fengjiao paced anxiously, about to continue trying to dissuade him, when she heard a commotion outside the door: "You can leave, but leave the Phoenix Marrow Pill behind!"
Outside the door, an elderly woman who looked to be in her sixties, holding a phoenix-headed cane, entered the room with the help of two servants.
"Greetings, Great Clan Chief!"
Luo Fengjiao immediately went to greet her.
"Boss, this is the current head of the Fire Phoenix Clan, the Great Clan Chief Feng Xiuhua."
Su Yunying whispered to Shen Zhao.
Shen Zhao gave an "oh" and then offered no further response.
He sensed a hint of dissatisfaction with the clan leader in Su Yunying's tone.
Feng Xiuhua walked directly up to Su Yunying: "I heard you obtained the Divine Phoenix Inheritance?"
"Mm," Su Yunying replied calmly.
Feng Xiuhua simply stretched out her hand: "Then give it to me."
Upon hearing this, Shen Zhao immediately stood up and blocked Su Yunying's path: "What, are you planning to rob me outright?"
"This is a matter within my tribe. What business is it of an outsider like you?"
Feng Xiuhua was unaware of Shen Zhao's power. Now, taking advantage of Liang Hao and Linghu Ming's absence, she wanted to force Su Yunying to hand over the Phoenix Marrow Pill.
Upon hearing this, Shen Zhao's face instantly darkened: "Then I'm going to interfere, what can you do about it?"
"Do you want to go against the entire Fire Phoenix Clan?"
Feng Xiuhua spoke up threateningly.
Shen Zhao leaned close to her and said, word by word, "If you dare to touch her today,
"I wouldn't mind making your Fire Phoenix clan disappear from the annals of the Nine Realms' history. Would you like to give it a try?"
Feng Xiuhua was startled, and when she met Shen Zhao's icy gaze, she couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine.
Upon hearing this, Su Yunying lowered her head and smiled gracefully.
Ever since she made a promise to herself in Dragon Abyss Valley, she has noticed that Shen Zhao is increasingly protecting her for no apparent reason, as if he is afraid of suffering even the slightest grievance.
This feeling of being protected and cared for is so sweet and blissful.
She wants to hold onto this happiness forever, so what should she do?
Seeing the atmosphere becoming increasingly tense, Luo Fengjiao immediately stepped in to smooth things over: "Alright, the clan leader was just confused for a moment and said the wrong thing. Fellow Daoist Shen, please don't be too aggressive."
He then frantically winked at Feng Xiuhua, signaling her not to anger Shen Zhao.
Feng Xiuhua then calmed down and said, "The Divine Phoenix Inheritance belongs to my Qifeng Mountain lineage. What's wrong with me asking her to hand it over?"
Shen Zhao countered, "Since you are from the Qifeng Mountain lineage, why are the other three Phoenix families also allowed to freely enter the Divine Phoenix Ruins?"
Moreover, those who possess the ability to inherit creation's blessings will receive them; there has never been any reason why members of the clan who enter to obtain creation's blessings must hand them over.
Stop trying to confuse me, you old woman. Since you're here, I happen to have something I need to ask you.
You'd better explain it to me clearly and in detail.
As he spoke, Shen Zhao moved a stool over and sat down directly in front of Feng Xiuhua.
Feng Xiuhua was shocked by Shen Zhao's attitude.
She came here today specifically to ask Su Yunying for the Divine Phoenix Inheritance, not to listen to an outsider like you lecturing her.
But now, it feels like the roles are reversed, and things are developing in an uncontrollable direction.
"You're the patriarch of the Fire Phoenix Clan, right? And the person involved at Qifeng Mountain? I'll ask you just one question!"
Shen Zhao spread out his left hand and waved it up and down in front of Su Yunying.
"This once-in-a-millennium prodigy of the Fire Phoenix clan has once again won first place in the Southern Region Grand Competition."
Now that you've returned to your Fire Phoenix clan, those who know what's good for you should treat her like a goddess and worship her.
But why, after so many days, are they still unwilling to give her even the position of young master?
