Primordial Corpse Ancestor

"Well! To be honest, senior, we do hope that this senior can provide some assistance, but we dare not hope that he can help us get through this calamity!" Feng Yan thought with a gloomy expression.

Hongjun responded calmly, "I haven't seen it before! I wonder what calamity your Phoenix Clan has encountered this time, that you've fallen to such a state!"

Upon hearing Hongjun say that he had never seen him, Fengyan felt disheartened. Originally, Fengyan thought that Hongjun was very likely that expert, but after hearing Hongjun deny it himself, he lost interest in continuing to talk to Hongjun!

"Alas! This matter is of great importance, and it is not appropriate to say much. I hope you will understand, senior! If you have nothing else to do, senior, you should leave this place as soon as possible to avoid being implicated! I will take my leave now and go to patrol the mountain!" With that, Feng Yan walked away into the distance with a look of disappointment, leaving Hong Jun alone, puzzled.

"What exactly happened to the Phoenix Clan? It seems they've run into serious trouble! Hmm! Let's go check it out, maybe there'll be some good news!" Hongjun looked puzzled, then headed towards the Phoenix Clan's Tiannan Volcano with anticipation.

After several days, Feng Xiang was already somewhat exhausted and his spirit was scattered. However, for the sake of the Phoenix Clan, Feng Xiang still disregarded his own safety and flew towards Qilin Cliff with all his might.

After traversing countless mountains and rivers, Feng Xiang finally arrived at Qilin Cliff, the territory of the Qilin clan, several days later. Looking at the towering Qilin Cliff before him, Feng Xiang originally planned to rush to the top in one go, but fearing that this would be disrespectful to the Qilin clan and displease them, he eventually flew to the mountainside and slowly made his way up Qilin Cliff.

At this time, no trace of the great calamity could be seen on Qilin Cliff. The entire Qilin Cliff appeared exceptionally vibrant, with exotic flowers and rare herbs everywhere, and towering trees connected to each other in dense clusters. Countless various demonic beasts constantly roamed among them.

No matter how beautiful the scenery was, Fengxiang had no interest in appreciating or watching it. All he felt was anxiety and unease.

"Halt! Who goes there? Do you know that this is Qilin Cliff, the sacred ground of my Qilin clan! All irrelevant people, leave at once!" Suddenly, a little demon holding a spear blocked Feng Xiang's path. Although he couldn't see through Feng Xiang's strength, the little demon still fearlessly stopped him!

"Young man, I am Feng Xiang, an envoy of the Phoenix Clan. Today, I have come to pay my respects to Zu Lin, the ancestor of the Qilin Clan, on behalf of my ancestor Zu Feng. Please inform him of my arrival!" Feng Yang said to the little demon in front of him with exceptional politeness, cupping his hands in greeting.

After a brief examination, Feng Xiang realized that this little demon was clearly not yet fully transformed and only possessed some human characteristics through some kind of secret technique!

At this moment, the little demon was covered in dense fur, its hands were still a pair of beast claws, and even its back was still constantly swaying a huge rat tail. With its pointed mouth and monkey cheeks, it was obviously a rat demon!

"What? The Phoenix Clan? You mean the Phoenix Clan, a powerful force in the primordial world, with strength comparable to my Qilin Clan?" The little demon was very surprised when it suddenly heard about the Phoenix Clan envoy and blurted out the question.

"Indeed, it is my Phoenix Clan! I hope you can inform them in time!" Upon hearing that the little demon knew about the Phoenix Clan, Feng Xiang couldn't help but show a hint of joy on his face. He then cupped his hands again and spoke to the little demon with exceptional politeness.

Perhaps it was rare for someone to be so polite to a lowly demon with no status, or perhaps they usually looked down on them! Seeing Feng Xiang's sudden politeness, the demon didn't make things difficult for him and readily told him to wait there while she went up to report to her superiors!

"Are you the envoy from the Phoenix Clan? Quickly come with me before my ancestor, Lord Zulin!" Soon, the little demon returned, following behind a Qilin Clan member who had recently taken human form. The Qilin Clan member coldly roared at Feng Xiang.

Feng Xiang glanced at the people from the Qilin Clan who had come to greet him. He noticed the slight disdain in their expressions but pretended not to see it. After all, he had a great responsibility to bear and could not afford to waste any more time.

Soon, Feng Xiang followed the Qilin clan to a grand hall. The entire hall was decorated in gold, exuding an extraordinary aura, and various rare items were displayed throughout the hall.

Although the person seated in the highest position was a handsome young man, Feng Xiang could not discern his cultivation level at a glance and thus guessed his identity. He stopped looking and bowed slightly, saying, "Feng Xiang, the envoy of the Phoenix Clan, has come with a letter from my Phoenix Clan's progenitor, Ancestor Feng, to request assistance from the progenitor of the Qilin Clan!"

Soon, a little demon delivered the letter to Zu Lin. As Zu Lin opened the letter, he said to Feng Xiang, "Your Phoenix Clan sent you out to seek help. You must have traveled day and night to be so weak! Go and rest for a while with the others! I will reply to you after I finish reading this letter!"

Then a little demon came and led Feng Xiang to a side hall, offering him some tea and snacks. However, Feng Xiang was preoccupied with the Phoenix Clan and had no mood for resting there. He quickly entered a meditative state to recover.

After reading the letter, Zu Lin quickly realized the gravity of the situation. He swiftly went to a courtyard filled with demonic energy at the back of the building, and before even entering, he began shouting, "Luo Hou, Luo Hou, come out quickly! Something terrible has happened!"

Soon, Rahu, dressed in black, strode out and asked Zu Lin, "What happened? Why are you in such a panic?"

"Take a look at this letter! After reading it, you'll know everything!" Zu Lin said, handing the letter to Luo Hou.

As Luo Hou read further, his expression grew increasingly grave. After finishing the letter, he stared intently at Zu Lin and said, "This problem seems quite serious. According to the letter, Yang Mei has already broken through to the Quasi-Saint realm."

Back on Penglai Island, Master hinted that Yangmei's background was quite impressive and mysterious. Now that Yangmei has broken through to become a Quasi-Saint, he must possess extraordinary secret techniques. Neither you nor I have yet broken through this barrier. Even if we combined our strength, along with the Ancestral Phoenix, we might not be able to secure a victory against the Ancestral Dragon and Yangmei!

"Yes! The problem is serious, but if we don't go, and Yangmei conquers the Phoenix Clan, the next target will definitely be our Qilin Clan. You and I will have no chance to escape," Zu Lin said helplessly.

"We definitely have to go! But if you and I go, there will be no one to guard Qilin Cliff. We must be careful of Hongjun. Once Hongjun appears, Qilin Cliff will surely be conquered by Hongjun without your and my protection!" Luo Hou warned.

"Then let everyone return to the Holy Mountain. Then you and I, along with the elders, will go to provide support. We'll leave some skilled individuals behind to guard Qilin Cliff!" Zu Lin said.

"Alas! This is the only way for now! Take the magic treasures, summon the elders, and go make the arrangements now! We'll set off immediately once everything is settled!" Rahu said.

Soon, the Qilin lineage was in a state of tension. Both Zu Lin and Luo Hou gathered the elders of the Qilin clan and headed towards the Tiannan Undying Volcano, leaving the Qilin clan members in a state of panic.

A flawless version after careful inspection!

The so-called envoy, Feng Xiang, was not notified and remained in the Qilin Clan for cultivation. This made Feng Xiang the only elder of the Phoenix Clan to escape the disaster, while the other elders and many other members of the Phoenix Clan perished.

Soon, Hongjun arrived at the Phoenix Clan's habitat, the Tiannan Undying Volcano. Upon arriving, Hongjun did not rush in, after all, he had once attempted to seize the Lidi Yanguang Banner from the Ancestral Phoenix, making him a celebrity among the Phoenix Clan.

The reason why Feng Yan did not recognize the Phoenix Clan elder as Hong Jun was mainly because, firstly, Feng Yan's cultivation level was far below Hong Jun's, and secondly, Hong Jun used the transformation technique, which was impossible for someone with a cultivation level higher than Hong Jun to detect.

After looking around for a long time, Hongjun actually found someone who shouldn't be here at all, someone who was completely unexpected: Yangmei.

When Hongjun discovered this, Yangmei was constantly following the Phoenix Clan members, acting suspiciously. This action immediately aroused Hongjun's suspicion. Recalling the Phoenix Clan's calamity that Fengyan had mentioned before, Hongjun quickly realized that this so-called Phoenix Clan calamity was likely related to Yangmei. However, Yangmei alone would not be involved in such a matter, so he followed Yangmei all the way.

Fortunately, Hongjun broke through to become a Quasi-Saint level being; otherwise, his following Yangmei would have been discovered. However, at this time, Hongjun and Yangmei were at similar levels, so he was not afraid of being discovered by Yangmei. In particular, Hongjun's secret techniques mostly came from the Heavenly Dao, and Yangmei was no match for Hongjun in terms of secret techniques.

As time went by, Hongjun followed Yangmei to the lake where Zulong was. When he saw Zulong and Yangmei walking side by side, even with Hongjun's composure, he had to marvel at the power of such a combination. Their defense and attack were unmatched, and it was no wonder that the Phoenix Clan was so nervous.

"It seems the Phoenix Clan is truly doomed this time! They've actually forced the Ancestral Dragon and Yangmei to join forces!" Hongjun shook his head and sighed.

"Hmph! But this is good too. The more chaotic things get, the better. It would be best if Rahu and Zulin were also involved. That way, the waters will be even muddier! I'll have a greater chance to fish in troubled waters!" Hongjun muttered to himself with a hint of smugness.

After that, Hongjun dared not linger and quickly left, hiding in the distance to quietly observe the movements of the Phoenix Clan and the Dragon Clan. It was truly a case of the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!
