Chapter 181: The Fire Phoenix Seen at Nanming Volcano

Since he came to Nanming Volcano, Niu Kui had to meet the Phoenix Clan. After all, even though the Moltres was not a Phoenix, it was still under the jurisdiction of the Phoenix Clan.

If he wanted to take it away, he naturally had to say hello to Huo Feng, the current leader of the Phoenix Clan. So after arriving at Nanming Volcano, Niu Kui immediately revealed his identity.

When they learned that the visitor was the deputy leader of Jiejiao, the human race's saint Niu Kui, and the current leader of the Phoenix clan, Huo Feng, he led the few Phoenix clan members to personally welcome him.

After some politeness, Huo Feng invited Niu Kui to the Phoenix Hall. After the host and guest sat down, Huo Feng said, "I wonder how Daoist Niu Kui can find the time to come to my Nanming Volcano today?"

"Come to think of it, since the first catastrophe of the Dragon Han Dynasty, the Phoenix Clan has been guarding the Nanming Volcano. It has been a long time since we had any guests. Fellow Daoist Niu Kui can really be considered the first."

When Huo Feng said this, there was inevitably a hint of sadness in her tone, which showed the fickleness of the world incisively and vividly.

Niu Kui couldn't help but sigh after hearing this, "Thinking back to the days when the Phoenix Clan led the flying birds, how glorious it was. How many people tried to curry favor with them. But now the Phoenix Clan is no longer as powerful as it once was, and they have become an existence that they want to avoid as much as possible."

"But Fellow Daoist Huo Feng, you don't have to worry about this, because it won't be long before they regret it. When that happens, if they want to curry favor with the Phoenix Clan, the Phoenix Clan may not look down on them."

Hearing what Niu Kui said, Huo Feng's face instantly showed a glimmer of hope, and he immediately asked Niu Kui: "I wonder what Brother Niu Kui is talking about? Could it be that the Phoenix Clan, which is tainted with boundless karma, will rise again?"

Niu Kui smiled and said, "If I remember correctly, Daoist Fellow Huo Feng should be the third son of Yuan Feng."

"Among the nine sons of the Yuanfeng clan leader, in addition to fellow Daoist Huofeng, there should be Golden Phoenix, Colorful Phoenix, Snow Phoenix, Blue Phoenix, Peacock, Dapeng, Thunderbird, and Gale."

"However, since the first catastrophe of the Dragon Han Dynasty, the nine sons of the Phoenix have been wandering around. Some of them even don't know that they are sons of the Phoenix."

Upon hearing that Niu Kui could actually call out the names of the nine sons of the Phoenix, Huo Feng couldn't help but show a hint of excitement on his face.

"I also tried to find my brothers and sisters, but when I remembered that the Phoenix Clan was affected by karma and would never achieve Daluo Jinxian, I gave up the idea."

Huo Feng was right. The three tribes of dragon, phoenix and unicorn were tainted with boundless karma because of the destruction of the wilderness during the first catastrophe of the Longhan period. Restricted by the laws of nature, it was difficult for them to break through to the peak realm of Taiyi Jinxian.

If you want to break through, you have to cleanse your karma. But if you want to cleanse your karma, you can only do it through merits from the Way of Heaven, or get the 12th-grade Karma Fire Red Lotus in the hands of the Styx Patriarch.

Most of the Phoenix Sons who were living outside were born after the first catastrophe of the Dragon and Han Dynasties. They did not enjoy the glory of the Phoenix Clan, and did not know that they were the sons of the Yuan Phoenix.

Therefore, the karma of the Phoenix Clan would not have a big impact on them. However, once they have completed the recognition of their master and returned to their clan, they will be no different from other Phoenix Clan members.

Niu Kui naturally knew the reason, so he smiled and said, "The eldest son of Phoenix, Jin Feng, is now the mount of Saint Nuwa."

"Thanks to the help of Lady Nuwa, his cultivation has broken through to the realm of Daluo Jinxian. In the near future, he may even become a quasi-sage." "As for Yuan Feng's sixth son Dapeng, he has now become a disciple of our Jiejiao and is named Yuyixian. He has become the registered disciple of Brother Tongtian and is in charge of the inner sect of Jiejiao."

"Although he has not yet broken through to the Daluo Jinxian realm, Daluo Jinxian is definitely not his final destination. He can also achieve Quasi-Sage status in the future."

"There is also Kong Que, the fifth son of Yuan Feng. He is the hope of the Phoenix clan. I came to Nanming Volcano this time just for Kong Xuan. I want to know Kong Xuan's whereabouts and then accept him into the Jiejiao sect."

When Huo Feng heard that Kong Xuan was the hope of the Phoenix Clan, he said without hesitation: "My fifth brother Kong Xuan should be in the Five Elements Valley at the top of Nanhua."

"It's just that my fifth brother is very proud and rarely takes anyone seriously. If Daoist Fellow Niu Kui wants to accept him as his disciple, he must first be convinced."

While speaking, Huo Feng did not forget to take out a phoenix feather, and handed it to Niu Kui, saying: "This is my mother's feather, it can help you persuade Kong Xuan to become your disciple."

Niu Kui did not refuse, and immediately reached out to take the Phoenix Feather. Then he said goodbye to the Fire Phoenix and prepared to go to the top of Nanhua to find Kong Xuan.

However, Niu Kui had just walked forward a few steps when he turned around and said, "There is something I shouldn't tell you, but Daoist Huo Feng actually gave me all the Phoenix Feathers. If I don't tell you about this, it would be a bit unkind."

"Remember, in a few years, when the catastrophe starts again, Fellow Daoist Huo Feng must control the Phoenix Clan and never let them be used by people with ulterior motives to start a new catastrophe. Otherwise, the karma of the Phoenix Clan will increase again, and may even lead to the complete demise of the Phoenix Clan."

"If we want the Phoenix Clan to survive this disaster, our only hope is Kong Xuan. I also hope that Daoist Fellow Huo Feng can make the Phoenix Clan obey Kong Xuan's orders."

As soon as Niu Kui said this, Huo Feng's face instantly showed a trace of worry. He immediately clasped his fists towards Niu Kui and said, "Thank you, fellow Daoist Niu Kui, for guiding my Phoenix Clan."

"If Fifth Brother can really lead the Phoenix Clan through the catastrophe, then why not give the position of Phoenix Clan leader to Fifth Brother?"

Niu Kui reached out his hand to help Huo Feng up, and said, "This is your Phoenix clan's own business. I am just telling you what I saw in the long river of fate."

After saying that, Niu Kui walked directly to the outside of Nanming Volcano. But before he walked far, his eyes fell on the fire bird playing in the Nanming Fire.

Huo Feng saw Niu Kui suddenly stop and looked at a flame bird that had not yet awakened its intelligence. Huo Feng said without hesitation: "Could it be that Brother Niu Kui likes that flame bird? If you like it, you can take it away."

"Fellow Daoist Niu Kui, although this fire bird has not yet developed its intelligence, its background is very extraordinary. It was conceived and born in the Southern Ming Li Fire. It's a pity that it is affected by karma, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for it to achieve Taiyi Jinxian in its entire life."

Niu Kui originally wanted to find a reason to take Moltres away, but he didn't expect that this Fire Phoenix would cooperate with him so well.

He then nodded to the Fire Phoenix and said, "I also feel that this bird is destined to be with me. If so, I will take it back to the overseas Three Immortals Island to eliminate its karma and help it achieve enlightenment."
