Chapter 312 Candidates for the Throne
The moment this decree was announced, the Ancestral Phoenix Plane was shaken.

Other major sects reacted relatively well, but the patriarch of the Bright Hall stepped out of the Bright Hall's forbidden zone for the first time after learning about it.

He gazed into the distance in the direction of the imperial city, remaining silent.

The leader of the Bright Hall stood behind him, feeling the terrifying aura emanating from the old man, which was as deep as an abyss and as dark as a prison. He lowered his eyes and dared not utter a sound.

In truth, even the leader of the Bright Hall couldn't be happy at this moment.

He and Ji Wantang had a blood feud over the killing of his son, but in any case, Ji Wantang was the hope for the prosperity of their Bright Hall for ten thousand years.

His son is dead and cannot be brought back to life. He can't just abandon Ji Wantang because of a child whose talent is only mediocre.

Moreover, regardless of his private relationship with Ji Wantang, the two of them always represented the absolute reputation of Guangming Hall to the outside world.

Lin Zhao, who has suddenly appeared out of nowhere, was granted the title of Marquis of Wu'an at the young age of seventeen. Everyone knows what this means.

Ji Wantang was granted a marquisate before the age of twenty.

When Ji Wantang was fifteen years old, he was granted the title of Marquis of Dingguo, which was practically announcing to the world that Ji Wantang was the next heir to the throne.

However... Marquis Wu'an.

The meaning is too obvious.

He even ordered the Phoenix Medicine Sect to be granted special permission to enter the Central Continent, which was paving the way for Lin Zhao.

This would give her the status and qualifications to be on equal footing with Ji Wantang.

"Does Your Majesty really intend to drive my Bright Hall to the brink of destruction?" The leader of the Bright Hall couldn't help but sigh.

So what if Lin Zhao advanced to the Nascent Soul stage at the age of seventeen?
Ji Wantang has been at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage for some time now. With Ji Wantang's talent, she will definitely be able to break through to the Divine Transformation stage within a hundred years. How could Lin Zhao compare to her?
Before the hall master could say anything more, the imperial edict from the Ancestral Phoenix Emperor arrived at the Marquis of Dingguo's residence.

It was an imperial edict promoting Ji Wantang to the rank of Duke of Dingguo.

Anyone with eyes can see that this is the Ancestral Phoenix Emperor's way of appeasing the Bright Hall and Ji Wantang.

Although he was promoted in rank, for Ji Wantang, there was no difference between a marquis and a duke.

However, with this decree in place, Guangming Hall and Ji Wantang could not say anything about how the Ancestral Phoenix Emperor treated Lin Zhao.

Because Lin Zhao's talent and ability are sufficient.

When the leader of the Bright Hall learned the news, thinking that he could only swallow his anger and suffer in silence, the patriarch of the Bright Hall finally spoke up: "No."

The head of the Bright Hall asked, "Ancestor, what is unacceptable?"

“Wantang is not of royal blood, yet she is qualified to succeed to the throne and be granted a title. This is not only because she is the number one among the younger generation, but also because she possesses the purest power of the plane created by the Ancestral Phoenix—the Phoenix Luck. Lin Zhao’s conferment of the title of Marquis of Wu’an must only be that of a marquis; she must not be qualified to inherit the throne.”

The head of the Bright Hall might think Ji Wantang had the victory in his grasp, but the patriarch of the Bright Hall knew his old rival, the Ancestral Phoenix Emperor.

If she wasn't certain that Lin Zhao could pose a threat to Ji Wantang, this old woman wouldn't have welcomed Lin Zhao into the Central Continent with such fanfare.

Since that's the case, he must thwart the fundamental idea of ​​the Ancestral Phoenix Emperor, ensuring that Lin Zhao and Ji Wantang are not on the same level as each other from the very beginning.

But even faster than his thoughts, the proclamation from the Ancestral Phoenix Emperor was even faster.

On the Heavenly Mirror, it was no longer just the Ancestral Phoenix Plane that knew about the Ancestral Phoenix Emperor's final decree. All the top-tier planes created by the five Great Creator Gods learned at the same time that Lin Zhao had been established as one of the candidates for the throne because he possessed the Ancient Phoenix Fortune.

Ancient Phoenix's luck is on par with Ji Wantang's Blood Phoenix luck.

Even more so in terms of orthodoxy.

The patriarch of Guangming Hall had all the ideas he had come up with blocked, and his face turned extremely ugly.

"When did the Ancestral Phoenix Continent have two Phoenix-Destined Women?!" The Hall Master of the Bright Hall frowned deeply. The Ancestor of the Bright Hall thought of something: "No, not the Ancestral Phoenix Continent, but the Heavenly Phoenix Continent."

When he brought Ji Wantang to the Ancestral Phoenix Continent, he also knew that there was another deposed Heavenly Phoenix Maiden on the Heavenly Phoenix Continent.

That girl possessed the destiny of the ancient phoenix.

Recalling the bounty notice Ji Wantang issued on the Heavenly Mirror, the patriarch of the Bright Hall slowly lowered his eyes and said in a sinister tone.

"It seems that you weren't completely crippled back then. But since you've come looking for me, let Wan Tang turn you, this crippled phoenix, into a dead phoenix."

……

In contrast to the bleak state of the Bright Hall, other major powers have been celebrating their recent period.

Over the years, their younger generation has been suppressed too much by Ji Wantang. They have also lived in fear and trembling, thinking that once Ji Wantang ascends the throne, their rival forces in the Bright Hall will sooner or later not have a good life.

Of course, the leaders of these forces remained quite reserved, after all, they were confident that even if Ji Wantang ascended the throne, it would at most make them a little sad, but it would not shake their foundation.

But... overall, these are all good things, aren't they?

Their opponents' misfortunes are their own good fortune!
Among them, Lingtian Pavilion was the most gloating.

Upon learning this news, Yang Mingcheng, the master of Lingtian Pavilion, happily spent three days playing chess with his granddaughter.

Yang Jingjing yawned repeatedly, "Grandpa, I want to go back."

Yang Mingcheng laughed and said, "Then let your mother come. Grandpa has finally vented his anger after holding it in for more than ten years. He'll beat your father less these days."

Yang Jingjing was speechless: "Mother is in seclusion trying to break through her tribulation. As for Father, he is still recovering from his injuries. If we fight again, he will be killed."

Upon hearing that his daughter-in-law was busy and his son, who was collecting debts, had not yet recovered from his injuries, Yang Mingcheng sent the best medicine to Yang Jingjing's father, urging him to make sure he recovered within the next couple of days.

"When the Phoenix Medicine Sect arrives, you and I will go and pay them a visit. After all, the Phoenix Medicine Sect is only a first-rate power, and its influence cannot compare to that of the Bright Hall. Heh, but my Lingtian Pavilion is different."

The reason we didn't dare provoke the Bright Hall before was because of Ji Wantang, but now...

Yang Jingjing reminded him, "Grandpa, Lin Zhao is only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm. She may not be a match for Ji Wantang."

Yang Jingjing's meaning was clear: Lin Zhao's current strength on paper is still far inferior to Ji Wantang's. If she rushes to openly curry favor with him now, the first thing Lingtian Pavilion will be targeted once Ji Wantang ascends the throne.

Yang Mingcheng paused for a moment: "Then let's wait and see?"

Yang Jingjing made her move: "Lingtian Pavilion cannot express its opinion, but I can support Lin Zhao in my name."

Given Yang Jingjing's status as a member of the Great Wind Bird royal family and the young master of Lingtian Pavilion, her support is essentially the support of these two powerful forces.

However, in this case, even the Komyoudo (a powerful religious organization) cannot directly find fault with this attitude.

Given Lingtian Pavilion's inherent strength, as long as they aren't directly caught red-handed, even if Ji Wantang ascends the throne, there's not much they can say.

Yang Mingcheng said, "You've thought this through perfectly. Let's wait until Lin Zhao arrives in the Central Continent before we take any action. No, this is too exciting! I must give your father a good beating."

Yang Jingjing took a sip of tea and her gaze fell on the direction of the Northwest Continent.

"Lin Zhao, the Central Continent is your true starting point."

She's not someone who invests easily.

Almost there, almost there! I'm speeding up the pace even more.

The battle between the two phoenixes is about to begin.
