Soul Returns to its Place
Have you been here the whole time?
Her voice trembled as she stared in disbelief at Yan Jue, who was soaring through the air.
"Hmph! No one but me can get into this place."
"Nobody can get in... but I..." Suddenly, it dawned on her, "Fire deceived me, damn it, how could he lie to me..."
She found it hard to accept. Huo Meng was infatuated with her and completely under her control. How could he betray her?
"Tsk! You lowly green peacock, do you really think you're incomparably charming? Don't you even look down at yourself? Do you really think you're a celestial being? Any female phoenix in my Phoenix Clan is prettier than you. You really think highly of yourself. But I must say, your peacock clan is really narcissistic." If he hadn't instructed Huo Meng, Huo Meng wouldn't have even glanced at her.
Ma Linghua seemed to see...her own daughter...that mouth of hers is really annoying.
"I have plenty of those sycamore fruits. You say you have some? You didn't steal them from my daughter, did you? After all... the peacock clan can't afford such precious things."
He glanced at Tongying with a look of disgust.
Tong Ying's face turned pale and then red. The paleness was because Yan Jue knew the truth; she really had stolen it from Yan Ling.
What's embarrassing is that being exposed for her behavior on the spot made her feel ashamed, even though no one was around... Wait a minute!
She looked up and exclaimed, "Good heavens! It seems like everyone from the Phoenix Clan is here! What's going on?" She was dumbfounded.
"Yanxi! Grandpa has been waiting for you for twelve thousand years and seven days. Stop causing trouble and return to your place!"
Ma Linghua was stunned. What did that mean? Return to its original position? Before she could figure it out, a squeezing force came from inside the eggshell, making her feel uncomfortable all over, and there was also a burning sensation.
"Elder... Elder... This isn't right!"
Huo Wu watched Yan Jue roasting eggs with Nirvana Fire, and her lips twitched. Was this something a human would do?
Tongying was terrified. The fire gave her a sense of danger, filling her soul with fear.
“Tongying, you didn’t see my daughter die, but you mustn’t miss the birth of my granddaughter! It won’t be a waste of my efforts to bring you to Wutong Mountain.”
When Yan Jue said this, his tone was very calm, and no emotion could be detected, but Tong Ying understood what he meant.
"No, Elder, please spare me. I was wrong. I didn't know anything. It was all Chun Gu Zi's idea. It was her. She killed Yan Ling. It had nothing to do with me."
Every phoenix egg that hatches is reborn from the heavenly fire. Those that emerge live, while those that do not perish. And this heavenly fire... is something she cannot stop at all.
"How long has it been since you last saw that vile woman, Chun Gu Zi?"
Yan Jue asked her in a lighthearted tone, clearly in a good mood.
Tong Ying was stunned for a moment, then her face turned pale. She looked up at Yan Jue and felt a deep fear and despair.
“I, Yan Jue, was born in a barbaric era. With great difficulty and countless hardships, I finally managed to have a female phoenix give birth to my daughter. Do you know how difficult it was for me? She was my only child. How dare you plot to destroy her body and soul? You deserve to die.”
When he sensed something was wrong, he stopped his seclusion and was almost struck by lightning, but it was too late. His lovely, innocent, and kind daughter was gone.
"Elder...may I..."
"Shut up."
Seeing the Phoenix Clan Chief arrive, he shouted sternly.
The surroundings immediately fell silent, and a powerful pressure permeated the entire Wutong Mountain, making it difficult for them to breathe.
“Every time something happens, it’s the same old 'Can I? Can I? Can I?' I’m sick of hearing it. If you’re so capable, be the clan leader. If you’re not, replace you with someone else. Look at your pathetic self, I just want to burn you to death.”
Clan Chief: "……………………"
Those around: "……………………"
"Yanxi, my dear granddaughter! Were you frightened? It's alright, Grandpa is usually gentle and refined, but I'm just really angry this time. Alright, come out now! Let them all see that you're not a coward."
Ma Linghua: "……………………"
Seeing that the egg didn't move, he increased the intensity of his attack, a hint of excitement and anticipation on his face.
Ma Linghua was unaware that her kind uncle had started heating oil in a wok for her, but she really couldn't resist.
The egg began to spin under Yan Jue's ruthless baking, and then emitted wave after wave of spiritual energy.
Ma Linghua pounded on the eggshell, pecking at it with her head—no! her beak—again and again, concentrating all her strength in her sharp beak, striking with tremendous force, again and again.
Everyone around was incredibly tense, including Tongying. Once this little brat hatched, heavenly fire would follow. The phoenix clan wasn't afraid, but she wasn't. She was a peacock and couldn't withstand the spiritual energy impact of the heavenly fire.
"Damn it, what kind of shell is this? A tortoise shell? I refuse to believe it, I'll break it open!"
With a sudden burst of force, "crack!" a crack appeared, followed by the entire opening. Ma Linghua quickly pried open the opening and finally managed to get through.
Before she could even see the sky outside, a wave of heat washed over her. She looked up and exclaimed, "Oh my god! What the heck? A meteorite falling from the sky?"
Heavenly fire fell from the sky, landing directly on Wutong Mountain. The scene and the sheer force of it caused all the powerful beings to emerge from the heavens.
"Did the egg on Wutong Mountain hatch?"
"Wasn't it said to be a dead egg?"
Who knows!
"That old schemer Yan Jue is probably about to make his move!"
"Okay! Then let's hurry back and hide the treasure!"
The people around them were communicating with each other through their spiritual senses while flying through the air, their faces looking as if their mothers had just died.
