As the dragon who took office in charge of external affairs in the dragon clan in nearly ten thousand years, Long Yi has had a lot of dealings with the phoenix clan, especially the phoenixes of Lu Zhao's lineage.
Those phoenixes all inherited Lu Zhao's personality; not only were they arrogant and self-important, but they were also stubborn and self-willed. They always liked to stir up trouble to show their presence, or they would point fingers at others.
Therefore, having never had a good impression of the Phoenix Clan, it developed a personality that would make things difficult for the Phoenix Clan whenever it had the chance.
Sure enough, given the chance, even though he knew the Phoenix Clan had a new master, he still couldn't shake the habit he had developed over the years.
Looking at the excited crowd around him, he couldn't help but want to incite them to rebel, hoping for a large-scale looting or something.
Then, if it adds fuel to the fire and stirs things up, it might just be able to destroy the Phoenix Clan's grand celebration.
The thought of seeing those stinking phoenixes' black faces after the grand ceremony was destroyed made it unable to contain its excitement.
Without a second thought, it immediately gathered all its spiritual power, ready to shout something and stir up trouble among the people.
Thinking this, Long Yi secretly swallowed a Spirit-Replenishing Pill to replenish his spiritual power so that he could cause trouble.
Unfortunately, after trying for a long time, it found that it couldn't make a sound at all, as if its mouth had been forcibly pinched shut by something, and it couldn't utter a single word.
Long Yi was somewhat unconvinced, but without much thought, he began to use his divine sense to condense his voice, focusing his energy in his dantian, and let out a loud shout.
"The Phoenix Clan's Ode to the Phoenix is a valuable item, everyone should grab it while it lasts!"
He did manage to say those words, but apart from himself, no one around him seemed to hear them, and there was no reaction whatsoever, not even a glance from them.
After experiencing the same bizarre events twice in a row, even Long Yi, who was slow to realize things, began to sense that something was wrong.
However, it wasn't too afraid, since it had the entire Dragon Island standing behind it.
Even if the Phoenix Clan knew it was plotting something, what could they do? As long as they didn't want to completely break with the Dragon Clan, these Phoenixes certainly wouldn't do anything to it.
At most, I'll just give it a good beating; it's not like it hasn't been in this situation before.
Being thick-skinned and tough, and having been beaten up since it was a kitten, it's not afraid at all!
Thinking of this, Long Yi, who was originally somewhat worried, began to feel more confident.
Having suppressed the timidity that had just begun to surface, it boldly looked towards the high platform, eager to see who had made the move and who could predict its intentions.
The first person it looked at was Lu Xian. After all, as the Grand Elder who had managed the Phoenix Clan for many years, Long Yi had heard of her reputation.
If we're talking about the most powerful phoenix in the Phoenix Clan, aside from those that have ascended to heaven, Long Yi would undoubtedly consider her the number one phoenix.
But soon, Long Yi realized that he seemed to have made a mistake in his prediction.
When it looked over, Lu Xian met its gaze with a look of surprise and confusion, as if wondering why it was looking at her.
At first, Long Yi thought Lu Xian was faking it, so he secretly observed her for a while and even secretly fought back against the divine sense that trapped him.
No matter what it did, Lu Xian remained completely unaffected, showing no sign of pretense.
Long Yi then had to admit that he had misjudged the situation, and that Lu Xian was indeed not the one who would make the move.
Long Yi was somewhat annoyed, but he quickly rallied and shifted his attention away from Lu Xian, searching for potential targets one by one.
It didn't think Lu Li would be the one to make the move, so it secretly looked everyone else on the platform before finally fixing its gaze on Lu Li.
Almost the instant it met Lu Li's eyes, it began to regret it, regretting that it had underestimated the phoenix.
Yes, the moment it met Lu Li's eyes, it was certain and certain that Lu Li was the person it was looking for.
Even with the gentlest gaze, it clearly saw a warning and a threat within it—a warning to stay out of trouble and a threat to stop its petty actions.
Presumably to increase the intensity, the opponent directly strengthened the oppressive aura directed towards them.
Long Yi felt an overwhelming pressure coming towards him, making it hard for him to breathe. He struggled desperately, but only managed to catch his breath.
It tried to call out to the other dragons in the dragon clan nearby, but found itself as if it had been separated from the world. Despite being so close, it could not contact the dragons next to it.
A terrifying thought even welled up in his mind: if Lu Li so desired, it would immediately perish here.
The fear of being enveloped in death was too terrifying for Long Yi. He trembled for a long time before finally choosing to submit, begging for mercy in a trembling voice.
"I dare not do it again, I will never dare to do it again, please forgive me this once." This is a respectful form of address.
Lu Li did not reply immediately, but observed for a while.
Once he confirmed that Long Yi was sincere, he left with the words, "Remember your words," and withdrew all the restraints on it.
Long Yi felt as if he had been transported to a different world in less than a breath. The noise around him returned, and the air felt exceptionally fresh.
Although the phoenix's praise was gone, it still couldn't help but take several deep breaths of air before it felt its heart start beating again.
Under the questioning gaze of the dragon beside it, it didn't even have the courage to mention what had just happened, nor did it dare to look at the high platform again.
At the same time, it also realized that this emperor of the Feather Clan was not someone that incompetent like Lu Zhao could be compared to, and it no longer dared to underestimate him in the slightest.
This experience made Long Yi unusually quiet during the next few days and nights of the grand ceremony. He was completely different from his former troublemaker self, let alone actively causing trouble.
Not only did it not provoke trouble, it was also the first to stop other dragons in the dragon clan from causing trouble.
This 180-degree turn almost made many dragons familiar with its personality think that it had been possessed.
After examining its soul and body again and again, and finally confirming that the dragon was a genuine original dragon, I was finally relieved.
The remaining half suspected that Long Yi might have lost his mind, or perhaps his brain had been slammed in a door, which was why such a dramatic change had occurred.
Long Yi, surrounded by everyone and tossed around again and again, also felt bitter inside.
But whenever it tries to tell the truth, it can feel the faint gaze cast down from the high platform, like a warning, or perhaps just a casual glance.
Furthermore, for the sake of its image, it could only swallow all its bitterness and dared not tell everyone the truth.
All I could hope was that time would pass quickly, and that the grand ceremony would end sooner rather than later.
It has decided that after the grand ceremony, it will be the first to take its leave, and once it returns, it will go into seclusion, a seclusion that lasts for thousands of years. It will not emerge from seclusion until Lu Li ascends to immortality.
It never wants to deal with Lu Li again, boohoo~
