Chapter 818 Return to the Heavenly Phoenix
Yu Liang said he didn't know much about Yu Li's situation either.

Although Youli, the young master of the ancient dragon clan, possessed one of the top bloodlines and statuses of the ancient dragon clan, he was born with inferior talent compared to Youshen and less ruthless than Youchen. In terms of parental attention, he was not as valued as Youquan, a son of a concubine.

If it weren't for his lineage and status, he might not even have the title of Young Master Youli.

Youliang had also wondered how Youli, with the most powerful bloodline and identity of the Ancient Dragon Clan, had managed to become like this. Was it simply because he had cooperated with evil thoughts from another world?
"Young Master Youli has always been the most mysterious young generation in the clan."

Thinking back, Youli was different from other young members of the Ancient Dragon Clan from a young age. He preferred to sit alone in a small corner, silent. This was because his parents didn't care much about his upbringing, and the others in the clan weren't as attentive either. However, Youli never lacked the treatment of a legitimate son of the Ancient Dragon Clan. Even though his talent wasn't as apparent as Youshen's, and even though his cultivation progressed slowly, his treatment was never diminished.

This situation could only happen to Youli.

If either Youchen or Youquan had performed as mediocrely as Youli did in the early stages, they would have been marginalized by the Ancient Dragon Clan.

Although Youquan is also the clan leader's son, his mother's status is far inferior to that of the Ancient Dragon Clan. He was only able to enter the clan because of the matriarch's tolerance. She is not very bright, and all she has left is her decent talent and cultivation.

Needless to say, Youchen is another case. Although the patriarch of the Ancient Dragon Clan acknowledges that she is his biological daughter, everyone knows perfectly well whose biological daughter she truly is.

The illegitimate child's mother was a red dragon, which is why Youchen possessed both thunder and fire spiritual roots instead of a heavenly spiritual root.

As for You Shen... his status is completely independent of these three siblings. His parents divorced early, but neither of them neglected to teach and love You Shen. In addition, with his own talent and temperament, the Ancient Dragon Clan sighed countless times about his poor health. If he were healthy, the Ancient Dragon Clan could have established an heir much earlier.

Fortunately, all these issues have been resolved today. Young Master Youchen obtained the Ancestral Dragon Sealing Flame and awakened the Emperor Dragon Baptism. Regardless of whether her bloodline is above that of You Shen and You Li, she is the undisputed next generation of Ancient Dragon Clan Chief.

After sorting things out, Youliang discovered once again that all they knew about Youli was that he was taciturn, had no outstanding talents in his childhood, and was neither valued nor dared to be looked down upon.

Today, aside from their disgust for Youli because of his collaboration with the evil thoughts from another world, they can't find any other personality traits they remember about him.

He was like the ever-present shadow of the ancient dragon clan, unnoticed yet indispensable.

"The clan won't let him die like this..." That was all Yu Liang could say in the end.

Lin Zhao suddenly seemed to remember something and asked, "Clan leader, did you and your wife ask about this?"

Yu Liang's expression shifted, and he shook his head.

The clan chief of the ancient dragon clan only issued a few orders in his capacity and then did not ask any further questions. The clan chief's wife seemed to know nothing about the matter and continued to enjoy herself with her male favorites.

Lin Zhao frowned: "I will go and retrieve the Holy Dragon Emperor's Spear."

Actually, she should be happy. The more the Ancient Dragon Clan ignores Youli, the safer it will be for her to kill him in the future.

Lin Zhao tapped his head, looked up, and vaguely saw the Big Dipper in the sky, with the Wuqu star, symbolizing Kaiyang, constantly twinkling.

Kaiyang Star Lord, Youli.

Lin Zhao sheathed the Heavenly Phoenix Bone Sword: "Thank you very much, senior."

Youliang waved his hand: "This time I didn't come away empty-handed. I will truthfully report to the Ancient Dragon Clan that Huang Zhao is still alive."

Lin Zhao paused, but he had no right to stop it. If someone else had betrayed the cultivation world, the impact might not have been so bad. However, the fact that the hope of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan had been tainted by evil thoughts from another world was no less serious than the cooperation between Youli of the Ancient Dragon Clan and evil thoughts from another world.

“I don’t know what’s been going on lately.” Youliang shook his head: “It’s been a run of bad luck. Our Ancient Dragon Clan has produced such a person, and now the Heavenly Phoenix Clan is repeating the same mistake.”

Lin Zhao's eyelashes trembled slightly: "I hope this is just an isolated case between the two clans." Ironically, they were all betrayals by the purest direct descendants.

After parting ways with the old man, Lin Zhao silently flew back to the Heavenly Phoenix Clan on his sword, unsure how to explain the matter to the clan leader and elders.

As for Qu Shu, Lin Zhao believed he already knew about it.

Before she even reached the entrance of the council hall, she saw a figure with black hair and dressed in white standing in front of the hall. His silver eyes were cold and aloof. He seemed to be leaning against the door, but he stood ramrod straight.

Even though it wasn't snowing, Lin Zhao could feel the chill of falling snow emanating from him.

"Qu Shu." Lin Zhao walked away quickly.

Qu Shu's gaze fell on Lin Zhao's face. Seeing the obvious concern and worry in her eyes, she said, "I have already spoken to the clan leader and the others about this matter. You don't need to elaborate on it."

Lin Zhao's throat tightened: "Qu Shu... is this what you've been wanting to do all these years?"

Qu Shu's gaze fell on Lin Zhao's somewhat disheveled hair, and he raised his hand to tidy it up for her: "I've always wanted to ask her about this."

What does it feel like to treat someone else's fate as a toy?

“I also really want to take everything from you.” Qu Shu sighed, carefully examining Lin Zhao’s appearance: “Heavenly Phoenix Bone Sword, Ancient Phoenix Fortune.”

Lin Zhao moved a little further away from him. "Qu Shu, you don't need to take all the blame on yourself. This has nothing to do with you."

Qu Shu shook his head: "Thank you. Go and comfort them. I have only one request: I hope you will spare her life. I want to see the person who chose me and then killed me die in front of me."

Lin Zhao looked at him but didn't say anything.

She missed Qu Shu and entered the council hall, where she saw the elders of the Tianhuang Clan who were still in a daze and the Tianhuang Clan Chief with a sorrowful expression.

"Clan leader, elder."

When the clan chief saw her arrive, he mustered a little courage and invited her to sit down.

"You found out too? You went to see her? How did it go?"

Lin Zhao remained silent for a long time before saying, "She looks somewhat similar to Qu Shu, but she is quite different from the Senior Huang Zhao I imagined."

“It was us old folks who gave her such a great reputation back then.” The clan chief shook his head. “She brought this tragedy upon herself.”

Lin Zhao said, "Whatever I think, I will do. What does it have to do with the seniors?"

The Third Elder of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan slammed his fist on the table, "I even... because of her death..."

"Just consider her dead," Lin Zhao said.

The elders all closed their eyes in unison.

"These years have really been tough on that child, Qu Shu."
