"Haha~"

The silence in the hall lasted for a moment before being broken by Zhu Chen's ambiguous chuckle.

"To eliminate the cause and effect with his own body and give his people a chance to live... This old fellow has certainly made a good plan."

Zhu Chen shook his head, his tone neither sarcastic nor wistful.

He was not a bloodthirsty person to begin with, and his purpose in coming to Tianren City was very clear.

That is to kill those cultivators who surrounded and attacked him back then.

As for ordinary civilians, he never intended to exterminate them.

Moreover, Yunxi is also of Celestial Race bloodline. If he really slaughtered his mother's entire race...

Even if the other party understands, it will inevitably leave indelible scars and estrangement in their heart.

Perhaps the human protectors saw this out that day, which is why they made this seemingly "betrayal of their master for survival" but actually helpless choice.

Yun Canghai and the others were all looking at Zhu Chen at this moment.

They wanted to know what choice Zhu Chen would ultimately make.

It was to slaughter and exterminate the entire Celestial Race.

They will still spare the lives of those innocent clansmen.

"That's fine."

Zhu Chen sighed softly and said, "Qixia and Qituo are dead. I have also dealt with most of the people who participated in the siege just now with my sword. Since the protector has atoned for his sins with his own body, let the Celestial Race... end here. As long as the remaining people behave themselves and no longer oppose me, I can let them go. But if they harbor any intention of revenge, then next time I will leave none of them alive."

Upon hearing this, Yun Canghai trembled slightly and bowed deeply to Zhu Chen: "On behalf of the innocent people in the city, I thank Fellow Daoist Zhu Chen for his great kindness!"

He knew that Zhu Chen's promise was tantamount to giving the Celestial Race a way out!
At this moment, Kong Qiuji, who had been standing to the side listening to everything with a complicated expression, finally couldn't hold back any longer. He stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said to Zhu Chen, "Fellow Daoist Zhu, can you tell me how the Divine Lord... exactly perished? How is the Peacock Clan doing now?"

His voice carried a hint of urgency, clearly indicating that he wanted to know the current situation of the Peacock Clan as soon as possible.

Zhu Chen turned to look at Kong Qiuji, his expression slightly taken aback, and said, "The fall of the Peacock God Lord was all caused by me..."

Zhu Chen did not hide anything about the cause of death of the Peacock God.

He briefly recounted to Kong Qiuji how the Peacock God had fought the Supreme Being of the Immortal Palace to protect him and died.

He added at the end, "Peacock City is currently being maintained by a few elders, but the Peacock Clan is leaderless and beset by internal and external troubles. They urgently need a leader with pure blood and prestige, which is why I asked Shi Hao to search for you in the lower realm."

"The Immortal Palace...it's the Immortal Palace again!"

Upon hearing this, Kong Qiuji's eyes instantly turned bloodshot, and his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.

An overwhelming surge of grief and hatred welled up in my heart.

His originally unrestrained and carefree temperament was almost instantly replaced by intense killing intent.

"I, Kong Qiuji, hereby swear that if I ever reach the summit, I will storm the Immortal Palace, raze its gates to the ground, grind those executioners to dust, avenge the God Lord, and wipe away the hatred of the Peacock Clan!"

Kong Qiuji's roar echoed in the hall, filled with deep-seated hatred and determination.

Zhu Chen looked at the emotionally charged Kong Qiuji, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes. This courage and sense of responsibility were exactly what the Peacock Clan needed right now.

Once Kong Qiuji had calmed down, Zhu Chen immediately said, "You have such ambition, it seems I didn't misjudge you. The Immortal Palace and I also have a blood feud. If you ever kill your way into the Immortal Palace, count me in."

Upon hearing this, Kong Qiuji's expression immediately changed.

He lowered his head somewhat awkwardly, chuckled self-deprecatingly, and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhu, please don't misunderstand. I was merely speaking in anger just now. What kind of existence is the Immortal Palace? It has stood in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths for countless years, its foundation unfathomable. Even my clan's Divine Lord at his peak could hardly contend with it, let alone me, a mere stray dog ​​at the Venerable Realm who has just recovered from a serious injury. What ability do I have to seek revenge? It's nothing but a fool's dream..."

The harsh reality instantly extinguished Kong Qiuji's newly ignited flames of revenge.

He hates the Immortal Palace.

But he also knew that such a behemoth was simply beyond his ability to contend with.

"You might not have been able to do it before, but who knows now..."

Zhu Chen knew Kong Qiuji's concerns, so he immediately went along with what he was saying.

"What did you say?"

Kong Qiuji suddenly looked up and stared in astonishment at Zhu Chen, only to see Zhu Chen stretch out his palm, where divine light gathered and slowly revealed two crystal-clear bone fragments.

One of these two precious bones is of a chaotic color, with endless runes naturally growing on it, as if it carries the profound truth of the beginning of heaven and earth and the origin of all things, making people's hearts tremble when they look at it!

The other precious bone was a deep reddish-gold color, with a faint phantom of a divine phoenix surrounding it, radiating an unparalleled majesty capable of burning the eight wastelands. Its scorching and sacred aura seemed to raise the temperature of the entire hall.

"This...is this?"

Kong Qiuji's pupils suddenly contracted.

As a member of the Peacock royal family, he was extremely sensitive to bloodline treasures and instantly sensed an unimaginable vast Dao charm and aura of the same origin from those two bones!

Especially that piece of crimson-gold bone, the supreme pressure emanating from it resonated even with the peacock bloodline within his body!
"These two items are a gift for you."

Zhu Chen pushed the two precious bones toward Kong Qiuji and explained, "This precious bone is inscribed with the complete 'Original True Explanation,' which elucidates the most fundamental Dao runes and bone inscriptions. It is the foundation of all precious techniques and can help you solidify your Dao foundation and understand the essence of all laws."

"And this piece is the complete 'True Phoenix Treasure Technique,' one of the Ten Fierce Treasure Techniques. It is the supreme mystery of controlling flames and Nirvana. You have the bloodline of the Peacock Clan and are also a bird. Cultivating this technique is most suitable for you. It can maximize the potential of your bloodline, replenish your origin, and even have the hope of tracing back to your ancestor and transcending to the next level."

Zhu Chen's tone was extremely calm, as if what he was giving away at this moment was not two supreme inheritances that could stir up bloodshed in the heavens and earth, but two ordinary items.

"The Peacock God has protected me, and this is an act of repaying that kindness. You need not refuse. With these, along with your own talent and temperament, given time, let alone avenging the Immortal Palace, it is not impossible to restore or even surpass the ancient glory of the Peacock Clan."

Kong Qiuji was completely stunned, his mind went blank.

He looked at the two precious bones floating before him, feeling the boundless and profound Daoist charm and the call of the same origin. His body trembled slightly due to extreme excitement.

The value of these two items is immeasurable!

Especially the "True Phoenix Treasure Technique," which is one of the Ten Fierce Techniques on par with the True Dragon and Kunpeng, and is the supreme inheritance that countless birds have dreamed of since ancient times!

With this, his future will be completely changed!
