As time went by, Tianhuang City was gradually enveloped in an atmosphere of excitement, and many people became anxious, looking forward to the day of the competition to find a bride.
Qin Xuan, who was far away in the Demon Realm, knew nothing about the changes that had taken place in Tianhuang City. On this day, he and Qing Yu came to the foot of a mountain range.
Yuhuang Mountain is a very famous mountain range in the realm of the Divine Phoenix Clan. It is said to be the training place of a princess of the Divine Phoenix Clan.
Qin Xuan remembered that Qing Lao once said that Huo'er was the ninth princess of the Divine Phoenix Clan. Although he didn't know if she had practiced here, it would be better to come and find out.
"Do you really want to go up?" Qing Yu looked at Qin Xuan with a somewhat embarrassed look, as if he was not very willing.
"Of course, I am here just for her. No matter whether she is here or not, I have to go and take a look." Qin Xuan nodded.
After a period of inquiring, Qing Yu also learned from Qin Xuan the identity of Huo'er. She was actually a princess of the Divine Phoenix clan, with an extremely noble status.
Moreover, Qin Xuan claimed to be the elder brother of that princess, which made Qing Yu feel even more strange. Qin Xuan was from the human race, and that princess was from the Divine Phoenix tribe. Why was there a brother-sister relationship?
Of course, there were too many things involved. Qin Xuan didn't explain it to Qing Yu, so Qing Yu naturally didn't know.
"The princesses of the Divine Phoenix Clan have a very high status and are protected by many powerful people. If the princess above is not the one I am looking for and offends another princess, the consequences will be disastrous." Qing Yu explained.
.
Qin Xuan's eyes showed a hint of thinking, and he replied: "Just be careful. I'm just going to have a look. Even if it's just a visit, there won't be any big problems."
Seeing that Qin Xuan was so persistent, Qing Yu couldn't persuade him anymore, so he nodded helplessly and said: "Okay, but you must promise me not to do anything casually."
The last time Qin Xuan killed Emperor Zhutian's generals had left a shadow in Qing Yu's heart, and he was afraid that Qin Xuan would do something outrageous, which might lead to an irreversible situation.
"Don't worry, am I that kind of person?" Qin Xuan smiled nonchalantly, then stepped forward and walked slowly towards the mountain.
Since we were going to visit, we naturally had to show enough sincerity and couldn't just fly up.
"I hope nothing happens." Qing Yu prayed in his heart and immediately followed.
When Qin Xuan and the other two reached the mountainside, a violent sound of breaking through the air came from below. Qin Xuan raised his eyes and saw several figures walking through the air at extremely fast speeds and disappeared in a flash.
Because those figures flew directly up from above their heads, and the mountain was extremely dense with ancient trees, those people did not notice the two people climbing the mountain below.
Suddenly, Qin Xuan's eyes showed a strange look. Among the people who flew past just now, there was one whom he seemed to have seen somewhere.
"What's wrong?" Qing Yu couldn't help but ask when he saw something wrong with Qin Xuan's face.
"It's nothing, maybe my perception is wrong." Qin Xuan waved his hand and said. He had only been to the Divine Phoenix Clan for a few days. It was impossible to meet anyone he knew here. It was most likely that his perception was wrong. After all, it was just a momentary feeling.
At this time, four young figures descended from the top of Jade Emperor Mountain. Each of them was extremely young, with outstanding temperament, and all of them exuded a powerful aura.
These four people are all at the peak of the ninth level of King Yuan. Even among the Divine Phoenix Clan, they are considered to be good talents.
The four of them were seen stepping forward towards a pavilion in the center. As if they sensed someone approaching, suddenly several maids walked out of the pavilion and came to the four of them.
The four of them stopped, and one of them, a young man wearing a light blue robe, asked, "Is the little princess among them?"
"The little princess is talking to the teacher. We don't have time, so the four commanders should please go back." A maid said.
The leaders of the Divine Phoenix Clan have many leaders, divided into four levels: Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Huang. The Heaven-level leaders are all at the peak level of emperors, the Earth-level leaders are at the middle-level emperor state, and the Xuan-level leaders are at the junior level of emperors.
Realm, and the Huang-level commander is at the peak level of King Yuan.
The four young figures in front of me are all Huang-level commanders.
"Please report back to the little princess. Just say that I am waiting outside to see you. The sacrifice within the clan is very important. I hope the little princess will not put the cart before the horse." The young man spoke again, with a hint of pride in his tone.
After hearing the young man's words, the expressions of the maids all changed. There was a trace of disdain in their eyes when they looked at the young man. What a loud tone, putting the cart before the horse?
"There is no need to reply. The princess has already given instructions not to see anyone." The maid said coldly, her tone not as polite as before, as if to express her dissatisfaction with the young man just now.
"You don't see anyone?" The four young people all frowned. They put aside such an important event as the clan sacrifice and went to chat with an insignificant person?
The princess is too willful.
"As the princess's personal maids, you should know what clan sacrifice means. Whether the princess can become a goddess of the Divine Phoenix clan depends on this. If something goes wrong, can you bear this responsibility?"
The young man spoke calmly, with a hint of pride on his face, as if he was born to be extraordinary and aloof.
"You can afford it, Xun Zheng, you think too highly of yourself!" The maid couldn't bear it anymore and finally said sarcastically.
The young man's expression suddenly froze, and then his face turned cold and he said: "What are you talking about!"
The maid snorted coldly and said: "There are so many commanders in the clan who are half-stepping into the Yuanhuang realm. You shamelessly relied on your connections to obtain the position of commander. You should be content, but you want to use this to have a relationship with the princess. It is simply a fool's dream!"
"
After saying these words, Xun Zheng's face turned completely cold, a trace of killing intent flashed in his eyes, and his eyes became extremely cold.
Just as the maid said, he did have some wild fantasies about the little princess, and he also knew that with his status, he was not worthy of the princess at all, so he could only keep creating opportunities to make the princess fall in love with him.
.
However, even though he did this, he never dared to make it public to avoid making others laugh. But the maid just exposed it, she deserved it.
"That's nonsense. Everything I do is for the sake of the princess. Without my help in the clan sacrifices, do you think it is possible for the princess to obtain the position of goddess?" Xun Zheng stared at the maid and retorted sternly.
"That's right, although our realm is not as good as that of other half-step Yuanhuang commanders, this difference is almost negligible. In the end, it still depends on the strength of our talent." Another young man also agreed.
Although the other two did not speak, they looked at the maids with extremely arrogant eyes, seeming very unhappy.
These three people are all Xun Zheng's friends, and to some extent, Xun Zheng has great kindness to these three people, so they help Xun Zheng in this way.
"Shameless." A maid sneered. She actually had the nerve to say that it depends on the strength of the talent. At the same age, they are only at the ninth level of Yuanhuang. Where is the talent?
"No matter what, we have to see the princess today. If you don't get out of the way, don't blame us for acting in accordance with the clan's rules." Xun Zheng said lightly, with a hint of threat in his tone.
According to the rules of the Divine Phoenix Clan, the leader has certain rights to kill first and then report later, provided that the interests of the clan must be given priority.
The matter of the sect's sacrifice is a very important matter. If someone blocks it and they suppress it, no one will say anything.
"You are crazy. The princess is inside. Do you want to force her way in?" The faces of the maids all turned pale. Their cultivation level is no more than the sixth or seventh level of King Yuan. If they want to force their way in, they cannot stop them.
At this time, in the pavilion, a middle-aged man and a beautiful woman were sitting opposite each other, looking like a master and disciple.
This beautiful woman is the little princess of the Divine Phoenix Clan.
At this time, the woman's beautiful eyebrows were furrowed, and there was a hint of displeasure in her beautiful eyes. Is she already so presumptuous now?
"Go, don't worry about me, the outsider. I have already caused you too much, and the clan sacrifice is your only chance." The middle-aged man smiled gently, and the smile on his face was extremely gentle, as if humans and animals were harmless.
"Teacher, I don't think so." The woman said stubbornly, "I know very well that even with their help, I can't win against others, so I might as well give up voluntarily."
"This is not like your character." The middle-aged man shook his head with a smile and joked: "In my impression, my precious apprentice will not be afraid at all no matter what difficulties he encounters. Why, has it changed now?
"This is simply impossible." The woman shook her head, a trace of despair flashed deep in her eyes. Even if there was only a chance, she would fight for it, but she knew that she didn't even have a chance.
Outside the pavilion, Xun Zheng saw that there was no response inside the pavilion. He already understood something and said loudly: "It seems that the princess is not very sober at this time. We will inevitably have to take some risks."
"I told you not to see me, don't you understand?" A cold voice came from the pavilion, it was that woman's voice.
Xun Zheng's eyes flashed with a sharp look, and he said: "I hope the princess will come out to see you. We would like to discuss the clan sacrifice with the princess."
After a moment, another voice came out: "I don't plan to participate in the clan sacrifice, and you don't need to discuss it with me."
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Xun Zheng and the four others were suddenly shocked, giving up the clan sacrifice?
How important is the clan sacrifice? It is a once-in-a-century event for the Divine Phoenix clan. It is related to the ultimate ownership of the goddess. How can we just give up?
"Princess..." Xun Zheng wanted to say something else, but the woman interrupted him coldly: "Didn't I make it clear enough? Do you want me to come out and see you off in person?"
Everyone could tell that the princess was already angry. Even Xun Zheng did not dare to say anything more at this time.
He has been secretly in love with the princess for many years, and he is very clear about the princess's character. She seems gentle on the outside, but in fact she is strong on the inside. Once her bottom line is touched, it is hard to imagine what will happen, and it is likely to aggravate the conflict between them. This is something he does not want to see.
