Chapter 771 Heavenly Phoenix Essence Blood
Upon hearing Lin Zhao's order, the old man Su Yin immediately captured several direct descendants of the Teng Snake Clan and brought them before Lin Zhao.

He glanced at Lin Zhao's expression and felt a pang of panic.

Although this person's cultivation was inferior to his own, and in theory, as a Celestial Emperor, he shouldn't have any reason to fear a Celestial King, the Old Man of Su Yin still felt an unprecedented pressure after Lin Zhao's face darkened.
This wasn't about pressure; it seemed Lin Zhao could suppress him simply through sheer presence.

This situation surprised Elder Su Yin. It wasn't unheard of for someone with lower cultivation to suppress someone with higher cultivation in terms of aura, but usually such people were either from powerful families, had considerable confidence, or were definitely not ordinary people.

Thinking of this, Elder Suyin became even more respectful to Lin Zhao, and used his immortal power to bind the direct descendants of the Tengshe clan even tighter.

"Where did the essence blood of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan come from in your bodies?" Lin Zhao asked, scanning these direct descendants of the Teng Snake Clan.

When these direct descendants of the Tengshe clan saw the Heavenly Phoenix Wings behind Lin Zhao, their initial awe towards the Elder Su Yin diminished somewhat. It was as if they had finally found an easy target. The leader of the Tengshe clan shouted at Lin Zhao, "A member of the Heavenly Phoenix clan? How dare you treat our Tengshe clan like this? Aren't you afraid of the punishment from the Ancient Dragon Clan?"

Lin Zhao: "..."

Old Man of the Underworld: "..."

I don't know how the Tengshe clan developed to this point.

After a brief silence, Lin Zhao laughed in anger. Faced with someone who wouldn't even shed a tear when he saw a coffin, three crimson suns appeared behind her.

Upon seeing the three crimson suns and noticing Lin Zhao's youthful face and demeanor, the direct descendants of the Tengshe clan finally became somewhat more restrained.

Even so, the leading members of the Tengshe clan still tried to save face and were unwilling to lose face in front of the Tianhuang clan, a so-called powerful clan that their Tengshe clan had bullied for many years.

“Where do we have the essence blood of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan? Don’t think that just because we have powerful essence blood nourishing our bloodline, it belongs to your Heavenly Phoenix Clan. If the Heavenly Phoenix Clan were really that powerful, how could it have fallen to this state today?”

Lin Zhao said calmly, "The Heavenly Phoenix Clan possesses the bloodline and will of the Ancestral Phoenix. How could they have fallen to this state today? I think you know better than I do."

After saying this, Lin Zhao observed the expressions of the Tengshe clan's direct descendants. To her dismay, they all wore knowing looks on their faces.

In other words, all the direct descendants of the Tengshe clan know how they developed.
Lin Zhao laughed in anger again. Although he had never intended to leave any survivors among the direct descendants of the Tengshe clan, seeing that there was not a single innocent member among them today still made him tremble with fear.

What kind of race is this, enjoying the world created by the Ancestral Phoenix, receiving help from the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, and then turning around and constantly sucking blood, not feeling ashamed, but rather proud?

In their logic, it seems that the Heavenly Phoenix Clan shouldn't treat them as they're not entitled to enjoy benefits or to despise and curse them.

After a brief silence, Lin Zhao quickly understood the thoughts of these direct descendants of the Tengshe clan.

Just like her junior brothers from Yunding Mountain back then.

These direct descendants of the Tengshe clan always felt absolutely inferior to the Tianhuang clan. Regardless of whether their strength was above or below the Tianhuang clan, they were always maggots who had climbed up the ranks by relying on the Tianhuang clan. When they saw the Tianhuang clan, they would remember how despicable their methods of climbing up the ranks were, so how could they possibly have any goodwill towards the Tianhuang clan?

While despising their reliance on the Celestial Phoenix Clan for barely making their way to the top, they also denigrate the Celestial Phoenix Clan to nothing, making it seem as if their success is solely due to themselves. After all, this is how a logical loop is formed.

—Today, the Phoenix Clan can't offer them much help; their current prosperity is solely due to themselves.

Lin Zhao was too lazy to ask any further questions: "It's too late to ask you now. But you should return what belongs to the Heavenly Phoenix Clan. You are the first step. I will take back everything that the Seven Star Palace and the evil thoughts from another world took."

Lin Zhao placed his hand on the heart of the Tengshe clan's direct descendant and gently pushed him. The bodies and souls of these Tengshe clan direct descendants instantly shattered into countless wisps of dust, leaving not even a drop of blood behind.

In the end, all that remained before them were a dozen or so drops of golden Phoenix Clan essence blood.

Lin Zhao sensed it and discovered that this essence blood did not belong to any of the Heavenly Phoenixes she knew. Moreover, this essence blood was so powerful that even a single drop, once released from the Tengshe Clan's body restraints, could transform into a small golden Heavenly Phoenix.

The owners of this essence blood in their previous lives were likely all powerful beings at the Immortal Emperor level.

The old man Suyin sighed upon seeing the essence of the Heavenly Phoenix. "No wonder the younger generation of the Tengshe Clan has become stronger than other true dragon species in recent years; it turns out they are nourished by the essence of the Heavenly Phoenix."

Lin Zhao's eyes flickered: "Can this essence blood nourish the bloodline of divine beasts?"

The old man of Suyin nodded: "The essence blood of powerful beings above the Immortal King level has the ability to nourish their bloodline. This is especially true for top-tier divine beasts like the Ancient Dragon and the Heavenly Phoenix. The effect is even stronger. The higher the cultivation level, the stronger the nourishing ability. However, this essence blood is the essence of a whole body. Taking out even a drop will damage the foundation. Therefore, only powerful beings who are about to pass away will take out the essence blood from their bodies to nourish their descendants. To be honest, this is the first time I have seen so much Heavenly Phoenix essence blood... It seems that the causes of death of those Heavenly Phoenix Immortal Emperors who died on the battlefield in recent years have been somewhat suspicious."

He put it mildly, but both of them knew the real reason for the fall of those powerful members of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan.

—They all became tools for the Tengshe clan to climb the social ladder.

"...Kill all the vassal clans that are closely related to the Tengshe Clan, regardless of their relationship to the evil spirits from another world." Lin Zhao crushed a wisp of divine soul in his hand, blew on it, and sighed, "Also, destroy this."

The old man from Suyin nodded.

This time, he didn't lament Lin Zhao's ruthlessness. If he were in her shoes and knew all this, his choice would only be more ruthless than Lin Zhao's.

"Please accept these essence blood of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan and hand them over to the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, Immortal Lord."

Lin Zhao raised an eyebrow and looked at him: "Elder, you don't need to?"

Elder Su Yin chuckled: "Given my cultivation level and age, even if this essence blood has any effect, it won't be very significant. Moreover, the essence blood of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan is naturally most effective for the Heavenly Phoenix Clan. With the Northern Region Grand Competition approaching, if the Immortal Lord wants to lead the Heavenly Phoenix Clan to the Central Region, the younger generation of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan must become stronger."

It's important to understand that this competition is not just a simple individual event.

In a small place like the Northern Region, Lin Zhao could hold off a hundred men, but what about in the Central Region?
If the Phoenix Clan cannot stand on its own two feet, it will fall sooner or later.
