C833 Clan sacrifice
However, Qin Xuan, who was far away from the Demon Domain, knew nothing about the changes that had occurred in the Tianhuang City. On this day, he and Qing Yu arrived at the foot of a mountain.
Mt. Jade Phoenix, an extremely famous mountain in the Divine Phoenix Clan's Domain. It was rumored to be a cultivation ground for a princess of the Divine Phoenix Clan.
Qin Xuan remembered that the Qing elder had once said that Huo Er was a Ninth Princess of the Divine Phoenix Clan.
"Do you really want to go up?" Qing Yu looked at Qin Xuan with a slightly troubled gaze, as if he was unwilling to do so.
"Of course, I am here for her. Regardless of whether she is here or not, I must go and take a look." Qin Xuan nodded.
After a period of investigation, Qing Yu found out that Huo Er was actually a princess of the Divine Phoenix Clan, and his identity was incomparably noble.
Furthermore, Qin Xuan claimed to be the brother of that princess, which made Qing Yu even more confused. Qin Xuan was a human, and that princess of Divine Phoenix Clan was one of them.
Of course, too many things were involved, so Qin Xuan did not give Qing Yu an explanation.
"The princess of Divine Phoenix Clan has an extremely high status, there are many powerful warriors protecting her. If the princess above isn't the one little friend is looking for, and angered the other princess instead, the consequences would be unimaginable." Qing Yu explained.
Qin Xuan's eyes revealed a look of thought, and replied: "It's good to be careful, it's just going to take a look. Even if we were to pay a visit, I believe there won't be much of a problem."
Seeing that Qin Xuan was so stubborn, Qing Yu could only helplessly nod his head: "Alright, but you must promise me, you must not do as you please."
The last time Qin Xuan killed Huang Zhutian's subordinates, he had left a shadow in Qing Yu's heart. He was afraid that Qin Xuan would do something that was out of bounds and cause an irreparable situation.
"Don't worry, am I that kind of person?" Qin Xuan laughed indifferently, then stepped forward, slowly heading up the mountain.
Since he was going to pay a visit, he naturally had to show sufficient sincerity and couldn't fly up directly.
"I hope nothing happens." Qing Yu prayed in his heart and immediately followed along.
When Qin Xuan and Yue Shan were halfway up the mountain, an intense sound of something breaking through the air could be heard. Qin Xuan raised his head, and saw a few figures moving through the air at an extremely fast speed, disappearing in a flash.
It was because those few figures were flying directly above their heads. Moreover, the mountain was covered with dense ancient trees. Those people did not notice that there were two people climbing the mountain.
Suddenly, a strange expression appeared in Qin Xuan's eyes. Amongst those people who flew over just now, he seemed to have seen one somewhere before.
"What's wrong?" Qing Yu saw that Qin Xuan's expression was strange and could not help but ask.
"Nothing, it might be my perception being wrong." Qin Xuan said as he waved his hand. He had only been in the Divine Phoenix Clan for a few days, it was impossible for him to meet any familiar faces here. It was very possible that his senses were wrong.
At this moment, on the peak of the Jade Emperor Mountain, four young men descended. Each of them was extremely young and had an extraordinary aura, exuding a powerful aura.
The four of them were all at the ninth level of the Origin King's Peak Stage. Even within the Divine Phoenix Clan, they could be considered quite good heaven's pride level experts.
The four of them walked forward and towards a building in the center. They seemed to feel that someone was approaching and suddenly, several female servants walked out from the building and arrived in front of the four of them.
The four of them stopped in their tracks, and one of the young man wearing a light green robe asked: "Is Little Princess in there?"
"Little Princess is currently conversing with Teacher. We don't have time, please return." A maid spoke up.
The commander of the Divine Phoenix Clan s were divided into four ranks, namely the Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow ranks. The Heaven Rank commanders were all at the Emperor's Peak Stage, the Earth Rank commanders were at the Intermediate Emperor Realm, the Profound Rank commanders were at the Beginner Emperor Realm, and the Yellow Rank commanders were at the peak of the Elemental King Realm.
And the four young men in front of him were all Yellow Rank commanders.
"Please report back to Little Princess. Tell him that we are here to seek an audience. The matter of the clan's sacrifices is extremely important. The young man spoke again, his tone containing traces of pride.
Upon hearing the words of the young man, the maidservants' expressions all changed. A hint of contempt flashed in their eyes as they stared at the young man.
"There's no need to report. The princess has already instructed me that she won't meet anyone." The maid spoke coldly. Her tone was not as polite as before, as if she was expressing her dissatisfaction with the youth from before.
"No one?" The four youths all frowned. Putting aside such an important matter like the clan's High Priest to chat with someone of no importance?
Princess is too willful.
"As the princess' personal maids, you should know what the clan's sacrifice means. Whether the princess can become the goddess of the Divine Phoenix Clan or not, if anything goes wrong, will you be able to shoulder this responsibility?"
The young man spoke with an indifferent tone, as a trace of arrogance could be seen on his face, as though he was born to be someone above others.
"Good, I can afford it. Xun Zheng, you think too highly of yourself!" The maid couldn't bear it any longer and mocked.
The countenance of the young man stiffened, and his countenance turned cold as he replied, "What are you saying!"
The maid snorted and said: "How many commanders are in the clan's Half-step Origin Emperor Stage? You have no shame to rely on relationships to get into the commander's position. You should be satisfied. You actually want to form a relationship with the princess. You are simply dreaming!"
As soon as he said that, Xun Zheng's expression became extremely cold, a killing intent flashed past his eyes, and his eyes became extremely cold.
Just as the maid had said, he indeed had a trace of presumptuous fantasies about the Little Princess. Furthermore, he knew that with his status, he was not worthy to be the princess, so he could only constantly create opportunities for the princess to love him.
However, although he did so, he had never dared to reveal it to the public, lest it arouse the ridicule of others.
"What nonsense! Everything I do is for the princess's own good. Do you think that the princess could have obtained the Goddess position without the assistance of the clan's priests?" Xun Zheng stared at the maid and retorted.
"That's right. Although the realms of us are inferior to the other Half-step Origin Emperor Stage's commanders, this tiny gap can be ignored. In the end, it still depends on the strength of our innate gifts." Another youth echoed.
Although the other two didn't say anything, they looked at the maids arrogantly, as if they were in a bad mood.
The three of them were all good friends of Xun Zheng, and from a certain point of view, Xun Zheng owed a great debt to them, which was why he had helped Xun Zheng like this.
"Shameless." He actually had the nerve to say that it depended on whether his talent was strong or weak. They were only at the ninth level of the Origin Emperor at the same age, so where was their talent?
"No matter what, we have to meet the princess today. If you don't move away, then don't blame us for acting in accordance with the clan's rules." Xun Zheng said indifferently, his tone revealing hints of threat.
According to the rules of the Divine Phoenix Clan, a commander has the right to be first and last, provided that the interests of the clan are the top priority.
The matter with the sect's Priestess was a matter of the heavens. If someone stopped them, they would act to suppress them and no one would say anything.
"You are all crazy, the princess is inside, are you all going to force your way in?" The maids' faces all paled. Their cultivations were only at the sixth or seventh level of the Yuan King Stage. If they were to forcefully charge through, they would not be able to withstand it.
At this moment, a middle-aged man and a beautiful woman were sitting facing each other inside the pavilion. They looked like a pair of master and disciple.
This beautiful woman was Divine Phoenix Clan.
At this moment, the girl's eyebrows were tightly knitted. A trace of displeasure could be seen in her beautiful eyes. Was she already so presumptuous?
"Go. Don't worry about me. I've already implicated you too much. The clan's priest is your only chance." The middle-aged man smiled gently, his smile extremely gentle, as if he were harmless to humans and animals.
"No teacher, I don't think so." The woman said stubbornly, "I know very well that even with their help, I won't be able to win against others. I might as well give up on my own accord."
"This doesn't seem like you." The middle-aged man smiled as he shook his head and joked, "In my impression, no matter what difficulties my precious disciple encounters, I will never feel the slightest bit of fear.
"This is simply impossible." The woman shook her head as despair flashed in her eyes. Even if there was only a sliver of a chance, she would still fight for it. However, she knew that she didn't have a single chance.
Outside the pavilion, Xun Zheng saw that there was no reaction from the pavilion, and already understood something, and said loudly: "It seems that the princess is not very clear-headed, and I will have to be bold to wait."
"Didn't you understand what I said?" A cold voice rang out from the pavilion. It was the voice of the woman.
Xun Zheng's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and said: "I hope that you can come out, Princess, we wish to discuss the matter of the clan's sacrifice with you."
A moment later, another voice rang out, "Clan priest, I don't plan to participate, so there's no need to discuss this with me."
When these words were said, the expressions of Xun Zheng and the other three people suddenly shook. Giving up on their clan's offering?
How important was the clan's sacrifice? It was a once in a hundred years event for the Divine Phoenix Clan, and it was related to the Goddess's final possession. How could she just give up like that?
"Princess …" Xun Zheng still wanted to say something, but at this time, the lady cut him off: "Haven't I explained it clearly enough, you want me to send you off myself?"
Anyone could tell that the princess was angry, but at that moment, even Xun Zheng did not dare say anything.
He had secretly fallen in love with the princess's side for many years, and he was extremely clear of her personality. She seemed gentle on the outside, but in reality, she was strong on the inside.
