The vicious female Ye Youcha, who is in Shura Field every day

Chapter 393 Five Phoenix Eggs

Feng Su didn't pay attention to Xuan Ming's words. Instead, she laughed and said, "Well said. Those old geezers really deserve a good beating."

He flicked his fiery red sleeves, then stood up, his peach-blossom eyes narrowing with a dangerous glint. "Come on, this clan leader will take you to see a good show."

As soon as he finished speaking, he strode out of the side hall.

Ye Ling, Mo Lin, Bai Qi, Qing Zhu, and Xuan Ming exchanged glances but said nothing, and followed suit.

As for the offspring, they are well cared for by the female slaves of the Phoenix Clan, so there is no need for them to worry.

The group followed Feng Su to the forbidden area behind the mountain.

From afar, several elderly men dressed in elaborate feathered robes could be seen; they were all shamans, elders, priests, and others from the tribe.

The leader, with a face full of grief and indignation and white hair and beard, was none other than Feng Qi, the High Priest of the Phoenix Clan.

They knelt before a massive stone tablet covered in ancient runes, behind which lay the legendary slumbering and sealed place of the ancestral phoenix.

"Clan leader."

Upon seeing Feng Su arrive with his entourage, Feng Qi not only failed to rise but instead slammed his head heavily against the cold ground, his voice filled with grief and indignation:

“Abolishing human sacrifice is a betrayal of ancestral teachings and shakes the foundation of our Phoenix Clan. Heavenly punishment is imminent, and the calamity of extinction is just around the corner. We beg the clan leader to rescind his decree, otherwise we old folks will kneel here and implore the Ancestral Phoenix to appear and judge right and wrong.”

Several elders behind him also kowtowed heavily, looking as if they were ready to die.

"Ah"

Feng Su laughed in anger. Her peach blossom eyes swept over the group of stubborn old fogies, and a cold smile appeared on her lips. "Kneel to death? Then kneel to death, so that I, the clan leader, won't have to clean up the house myself."

His voice wasn't loud, but it carried a chilling coldness that sent shivers down the spines of the kneeling elders.

They only intended to force the clan chief to submit, never expecting him to actually kneel and die here. Now, they're in a difficult situation.

"Feng Su".

Feng Qi suddenly stood up and looked up, his old eyes bloodshot. He even called out the name of the person in question, clearly furious.

He pointed at Feng Su's nose and cursed, "You are stubborn and self-willed, bewitching a female from a lower realm and disregarding the millions of years of heritage of my Phoenix Clan. You abolished the human sacrifice, angered the Beast God, and now all the clans are talking about it, causing my Phoenix Clan to suffer from rumors and slander, which is really detrimental to my clan. It will also sever the bridge of communication with the Beast God. Clan leader, are you not afraid that the Beast God will punish you and bring disaster to the entire Phoenix Clan? At that time, you will be the sinner of the entire Phoenix Clan."

"A traitor to the Phoenix Clan?"

Feng Su seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world. She gently waved her feather fan, but her eyes were sharp and cold. "The High Priest certainly knows how to pin accusations on me, the clan leader. Abolishing human sacrifice was the Beast God's messenger's intention. What, does the High Priest have any dissatisfaction with the Beast God's messenger's decree?"

"you!"

Feng Qi was speechless, his old face turning bright red.

He certainly wouldn't dare to be dissatisfied with the Beast God's envoy's decree; however, he didn't recognize Su Xiyue's identity as the Beast God's envoy at all.

He can make some gadgets, knows some things that others don't know, and has done a few good deeds, so he calls himself the messenger of the beast god?
That would be ridiculous.

Is the Beast God's Messenger something that any Tom, Dick, or Harry would be qualified to be?

The ignorant people of the lower, desolate lands are easy to fool, but Feng Qi is not so easily fooled.

"What virtue or ability does that lower-realm female possess to serve as the Beast God's messenger?"

His voice was filled with gritted teeth, "This old man begs the clan leader to open the seal of the ancestral phoenix and ask the ancestral phoenix to manifest its power and judge this matter."

Feng Su's eyes flickered slightly as she looked at him with a half-smile, "High Priest, are you so sure that the Ancestral Phoenix will stand on your side?"

Feng Qi choked, her eyes flickering slightly.

In truth, they weren't entirely sure either, since the Ancestral Phoenix had been dormant for hundreds of thousands of years and no one had ever seen it.

But now they're in a bind, with no choice but to bite the bullet and take the gamble.

"For the future of the Phoenix Clan, I am willing to give it a try."

He knelt down again, his forehead touching the ground, his expression filled with grief and indignation: "Please grant my request, clan leader."

Feng Su didn't speak, her eyes fixed on Feng Qi kneeling on the ground. Suddenly she laughed out loud, "Fine, since the High Priest insists, then this clan leader will grant your wish."

Zu Feng has been dead for over 100,000 years, so he doesn't believe he can actually manifest his power.

We'll see how this old man handles the consequences.

As he spoke, he walked to the stone tablet, pretended to make a few hand seals, and then slapped the stone tablet with his palm.

"Om-"

The stone tablet trembled slightly, emitting a muffled hum.

However, the imagined appearance of the ancestral phoenix did not occur.

Feng Qi and the others exchanged glances, a hint of panic flashing in their eyes.

Feng Su sneered inwardly, but feigned surprise on the surface, "Huh? Why isn't the Ancestral Phoenix responding? Is it because this clan leader isn't strong enough?"

He turned to look at Ye Ling and the others, "You are all top experts, why don't you all give it a try?"

Ye Ling and the others exchanged glances, understanding each other perfectly.

Feng Su was clearly putting on a show, deliberately teasing these old fogies.

However, they had no intention of undermining him, and instead stepped forward to pretend to cast spells.

As expected, the stone tablet remained unresponsive.

"this…"

Feng Qi and the others were completely panicked and didn't know what to do. Feng Su seized the opportunity to make trouble, "It seems that the Ancestral Phoenix does not agree with the High Priest's approach. In that case, the abolition of human sacrifice is hereby decided. Anyone who objects is disobeying the Ancestral Phoenix's decree and will be dealt with according to the clan rules."

His voice was cold and left no room for argument.

Although Feng Qi and the others were unwilling, they dared not say anything more.

After all, since the ancestral phoenix did not manifest its power, they had no reason to continue making trouble.

Moreover, Feng Su's strength is undeniable; they are simply no match for her.

"I will follow the orders of the clan leader."

In the end, Feng Qi and the others had no choice but to grit their teeth and agree.

The storm subsided.

Feng Su was in a great mood and led Ye Ling and the others away from the forbidden area in the back mountain. However, when they passed the beast tomb in the back mountain, they suddenly sensed a faint life fluctuation.

He frowned instantly. The Beast Tomb was the burial ground for the sinful slaves or sinful beasts of the Phoenix Clan throughout the ages; in short, it was a mass grave.

If it's not a corpse or just bones, how could there be any signs of life?

Could it be that someone was left here and survived?

Feng Su suddenly stopped and squinted her peach blossom eyes, scanning her surroundings.

"what happened?"

Ye Ling also stopped and looked around. Although she didn't know what Feng Su was looking at, she must have discovered something.

"No, there are living things here."

Mo Lin's expression was somewhat strange.
Bai Qi suddenly chuckled, "This is quite interesting. This mass grave actually hides a glimmer of life."

Feng Su remained silent, only narrowing his peach blossom eyes even more. He was absolutely certain that the faint life fluctuation he had just witnessed was genuine.

There were living creatures, and they were by no means ordinary living creatures.

His initial Foundation Establishment stage divine sense instantly spread out, covering the entire Beast Tomb in the blink of an eye.

This mass grave contained countless skeletons, yet something unusual was discovered in an inconspicuous patch of grass.

Feng Su's eyes narrowed, her expression strange. "There are actually five phoenix eggs here?"

"What? Phoenix eggs here? How is that possible? You're kidding, aren't you, show-off?"

Xuanming was momentarily stunned. Even if he didn't know much about the Phoenix Clan, he knew that phoenix eggs were extremely precious to them. How could they possibly appear in the mass grave?

Ye Ling, Mo Lin, Bai Qi, and Qing Zhu were also stunned.

They spread out their divine senses and indeed found five phoenix eggs in a clump of grass, their expressions all quite strange.

Not to mention the noble phoenix, even ordinary birds wouldn't bear to throw their eggs into a mass grave.

"Let's go over and have a look."

Feng Su withdrew her divine sense, lifted her foot and walked towards the bushes, bending down to push aside the weeds.

Five enormous phoenix eggs lay quietly in the grass, their shells faintly glowing red, their surfaces shimmering with light, clearly indicating that they had been gestating for some time.

Ye Ling and the others were familiar with phoenix eggs, and their expressions were all strange upon seeing these five.

Feng Su narrowed her peach blossom eyes and suddenly noticed a corpse half-hidden in the grass beside her. The flesh and blood had long since rotted away, leaving only a skeleton. The size of the head indicated that it was female.

He looked closely and found a hole in the throat of the skeleton, which clearly indicated that it had been killed by some kind of sharp weapon.

"interesting."

Feng Su suddenly chuckled, his eyes fixed on the skeletal abdomen, "This clan leader was unaware that he had five younger brothers."

Ye Ling, Mo Lin, Bai Qi, Qing Zhu, and Xuan Ming were completely baffled.

Feng Xiao is dead, and Feng Su is an only son, so where did he get five younger brothers?

Is there something wrong with this egg?

Mo Lin keenly noticed his unusual behavior and suddenly asked a question.

"It's a big problem."

Feng Su suddenly laughed, her eyes icy cold. "Do you still remember what I told you last year?"

"Remember, your father took a new lover named Ru'er, and Ru'er became pregnant. Your father then planned to raise the child in Ru'er's womb and then ruin you."

Upon hearing this, Ye Ling instantly understood, staring at the five phoenix eggs, "So, these five eggs were laid by Ru'er?"

Feng Su nodded, her peach blossom eyes filled with complex emotions. "Speaking of which, these five eggs are actually my younger brothers."

"This egg is alive, but its breath is very weak."

Mo Lin suddenly squatted down and stared at the five phoenix eggs. "Judging from the fluctuations in spiritual energy, they will probably hatch in a while. It's a pity they didn't hatch naturally, so even if they do, their aptitude won't be very good."

Qingzhu glanced at the five eggs in the grass. "They've survived even like that. They're really tough."

Bai Qi pondered, "A stillborn child that absorbs resentment is probably an ominous sign."

"What good or bad luck? They're just five phoenix eggs with poor quality."

Xuanming didn't think there was anything wrong with it. "If you ask me, we can just give them to someone to raise. We can keep the identities of the five eggs a secret. They won't know about the grudges of the previous generation. They can just be treated as ordinary members of the clan."
