Youyou told Yuhao to think it over carefully. He hesitated for only two days and took the opportunity to observe the Phoenix Clan of the True Path Sect. He found that, as Youyou said, they did not have any intention of causing trouble. Only then did he gradually lower his guard and agree to Youyou's request.
You You didn't delay and directly packed him up and sent him to the Ninth Immortal in the Immortal Realm. He was originally the opportunity of the Ninth Emperor, so sending him to him was quite reasonable. However, the Ninth Emperor has been busy in the Seventh Heaven recently, so whether he can calm down and cultivate his potential depends on the ability of his teacher, Yu Hao.
After throwing the person up to the heavens, she didn't bother with them anymore. After all, the other party was a god, and she figured they wouldn't do anything underhanded.
"Huh, where's Feng Rong?" After dealing with Yu Hao's matter, You You realized that Feng Rong was not there. Thinking about it, it seemed that she hadn't seen him for two days.
"The Venerable One seems to have been busy with clan affairs these past two days," Ling Qi replied casually after finishing his work report. "He should still be at the Fifth Peak at this time."
Thinking about the Phoenix Clan, Youyou said, "I'll go find him." Then she turned and went out the door.
She traveled all the way to the Five Peaks and inquired with the phoenixes who were showing affection on the peaks. She learned that he was on duty in the cave in the very center of the Five Peaks.
At first, she didn't know what the rotation meant until she entered that spiritually rich cave. Inside, the spacious cave was packed full. Feng Rong, unusually, had completely transformed into her original form, her magnificent feathers curled up in a ball, her enormous body curled up on the ground, and nestled among the layers of feathers were two snow-white—eggs!
Is this... hatching eggs?!
"Pfft..." Youyou couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Don't laugh!" Feng Rong's voice, a mixture of anger, restraint, and grievance, rang out. The feathers on his neck ruffled, showing just how terrible his mood was. But even so, he didn't leave his spot, and the two eggs he was protecting remained firmly in place.
Youyou took two steps closer, suppressing the urge to burst out laughing, before speaking, "Didn't you say before that you would never come to incubate the eggs even if you were beaten to death?" Why did you still come?
"It's all because the old man said that most of the phoenixes in the clan haven't recovered their divine power yet, and there aren't enough people, so he insisted on dragging me in to make up the numbers." Feng Rong's tone became more and more resentful, but she folded her wings and carefully gathered the two eggs under her body, occasionally channeling her divine power into the eggs, which was quite competent.
After thinking about it for a moment, You You understood what Rong's father meant. Among the Phoenix Clan, Feng Rong was the most powerful, so it was naturally best to have him looking after them. No wonder she hadn't seen him these past two days. "Then how long are you going to stay here to incubate?"
“One more day! Including me, there are ten phoenixes in the clan to guard her, once a month.” His voice was weak, but when she wasn’t paying attention, he stretched out two tail feathers, wrapped them around her waist, and pulled her over.
The next moment, Youyou buried herself in the soft feathers, and a deep voice sounded in her ear, "Stay with me."
Youyou touched the fluffy feathers in front of her, momentarily forgetting to step back. She turned to look at the two eggs next to her, which were also trapped in the feathers, and couldn't help but ask, "Are these two eggs still not showing any signs of waking up?"
"Hmm." Feng Rong responded softly, lowering his massive head to lean against her side. "Their life force is too weak. I don't know when they will wake up."
Youyou couldn't help but reach out and touch the exceptionally dazzling feathers on his head. Then she glanced at the two eggs beside him and suddenly remembered something. She asked again, "Fengrong, are you sure these two eggs don't contain Thunder Phoenixes?"
“There’s no trace of thunder spirit in this egg, so it shouldn’t be,” Feng Rong replied. Seeing You You frown, she asked, “What’s wrong?”
"I'm wondering, since there are no Thunder Phoenixes among the sleeping Phoenix Clan, where did the Thunder Feathers we saw before come from?" You You had been puzzled by this, and had previously confirmed with Feng Qing that there were indeed no Thunder Phoenixes among the awakened Phoenix Clan. Then where did the Thunder Feathers on Qin Hong's body, and those in Fengdu Ghost City that activated 'Instantaneous Retention,' come from?
Feng Rong remained silent for a while, this was indeed puzzling. She glanced at the two eggs in her arms before saying, "But Lei Yu is the true feather of Lei Feng, and it shouldn't be easily given to anyone other than its mate. Unless there are other phoenixes in the world, even if the two eggs contain Lei Fengs, they couldn't possibly have given them away."
You You had naturally considered this as well. Given the Phoenix Clan's tendency to be love-struck, they certainly wouldn't hand over something so important so easily. But Qin Hong had said that Lei Yu did indeed come from the Sacred Tree Space, so she had no reason to lie to them.
This whole thing seemed a bit strange. Youyou felt like she was overlooking something, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. Subconsciously, she turned to look at the two eggs beside her. Although they were surrounded by Feng Rong's divine power, they remained quiet and still. However, a faint glow representing life was floating on the eggs, which was stronger than before, but surprisingly somewhat dim.
Youyou paused for a moment, then scanned the two phoenix eggs in front of her. "Why do I feel that the color of these two eggs is darker than before?"
"Really?" Feng Rong was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and said, "We nourish the egg with divine power every day, and the vitality inside has already increased. Logically speaking, the egg should be brighter, so how could it be dark?"
"Really?" Youyou frowned. Could it be that she hadn't seen the two eggs for a while, which was why they looked so grayish?
Without giving it much thought, she glanced at the egg again, then, as if remembering something, continued, "Right, since the life force inside this egg has increased, why don't I try using those three scrolls from the Yin Book?" Saying this, she took two steps forward and subconsciously touched the eggshell, saying, "Maybe this time it'll work..."
Click!
Before she could finish speaking, a crack suddenly appeared in the palm of her hand that had just been placed on the egg, and then, with a whooshing sound, like a cracked mirror, it spread throughout the entire egg.
Youyou: "..."
Feng Rong: "..."
What the heck? It's not coming out already, is it?
Before Youyou could react, a bone-chilling cold suddenly struck her palm, moving so fast it seemed capable of swallowing her whole in an instant.
"Youyou!" Feng Rong reacted first, instantly transforming into human form and catching Youyou as they swiftly retreated from the cave. The next moment, thick, inky black gas surged out from the egg, instantly filling the entire cave and bursting out, shooting straight into the sky.
A piercing shriek instantly resounded throughout the entire Zhenyan Sect, striking straight into the mind. Even Feng Rong was shaken and took a step back. At the same time, the mountain-protecting formation was activated instantly, heavily protecting the area except for the five peaks.
As soon as the two stepped out of the cave, they saw the phoenix tree spirit plant outside the cave withering away at a visible speed, its vitality completely extinguished.
"Sect Master! Feng Rong..."
The phoenixes on the peak rushed over immediately, but were startled by the continuous flow of black energy from the cave, and stood frozen in place with their eyes wide open.
This is……
"Demonic energy!"
