Two spots of light flew out of the Sand Continent City, one red and one black. Both of them flashed with a golden radiance and emitted a powerful demonic force.
However, this kind of demonic energy didn't seem ferocious or violent. Instead, it was noble and prideful, with a sense of transcendence, but it also seemed exceptionally arrogant.
The spots of light landed on Lin Feng's Purple Aura Cloud Bridge. The purple aura rolled and brought them back to Jade Jing Mountain.
Lin Feng Silently looked at the two figures in front of him. As the light and shadow changed, he could vaguely see the two phoenixes gradually turning into human forms.
When the golden light dissipated, a man and a woman appeared in front of Lin Feng. The man looked like a middle-aged man in his forties. He was tall and thin and wore a red luxurious robe. His long hair was not tied up and casually spread behind his shoulders. His face was simple and he had an elegant aura.
Beside him was a girl in black. She looked like she was only thirteen or fourteen years old. She had a beautiful face and a refined aura.
What they had in common was that their eyes were extremely clear. They looked at Lin Feng calmly. They were neither servile nor overbearing. Their attitudes were gentle and polite, but they kept a distance.
The middle-aged man said, "Are you the master of the Celestial Gate? I'm Fei Ye from the Red Phoenix race. Greetings. "
The girl beside him bowed to Lin Feng. "I'm Mo Yu from the Black Phoenix race. Greetings, master of the Celestial Gate."
Lin Feng's gaze landed on Fei Ye and he felt the demonic energy around him fluctuate majestically. It was not ostentatious, nor was it purposely suppressed. It just spread out like this, revealing that he has already formed an Indestructible Demon Soul.
Unlike the Golden Crow, Qiong Qi, and other demon clans, where a Great Saint-level demon beast would be surrounded and killed by the human experts when it came to the vast land of the Divine Land, the Phoenix Clan was a little special. They rarely entered the vast land of the Divine Land, and even if they did, most of the human cultivators would turn a blind eye to them.
The Phoenix race had always been independent in the Demon Realm. They never intervened in the disputes of others. Because of their powerful strength, others were not willing to provoke them.
All along, this race had pursued the policy of an isolated island and was almost independent of Tianhuang Mainland. Although they were not completely isolated, they rarely interacted with the outside world.
Because of this reason, the Phoenix Clan rarely participated in the war between the Human Clan and the Demon Clan. Moreover, the Phoenix Clan was noble and peaceful. Even if powerful warriors occasionally entered the Divine Land, as long as no one provoked them, the Phoenix Clan would not cause any damage to the Human Clan.
Therefore, in the past ten thousand years, the relationship between the Phoenix Clan and the Cultivation World of the Human Clan had been relatively harmonious.
Of course, this was also related to the powerful strength of the Phoenix Clan. Including the three Holy Lands, no one was willing to completely push the Phoenix Clan to the opposite side of the Divine Land.
Lin Feng's gaze shifted to the other side, and he looked at Mo Yu as he sensed the fluctuations of her demonic energy. "She's slightly familiar. The phoenix that broke through the thousand-year-old ice and followed the Roc into the treasure trove seemed to be her?"
With a glance, Lin Feng could tell that Mo Yu was currently at the late-stage Demon King Realm. Moreover, compared to the lifespan of the Phoenix Clan, she was still very young. Being able to cultivate to this realm at such a young age, she should be one of the top geniuses even in the Phoenix Clan.
Long Ye, who had not fought with Yan Mingyue in the past and had yet to achieve an Indestructible Demon Soul, Fox Yan Yan of the Heavenly Fox Clan, the Black Feather Roc that entered the treasure trove in an attempt to resurrect the Ancient Roc, and Mo Yu in front of him. Presumably, they were the rising stars of the Demon Clan in recent years.
At this moment, they had already risen and were only waiting for an Indestructible Demon Soul to completely ascend to the stage. Among them, Long Ye was even one step ahead of them.
While Lin Feng was sizing them up, Fei Ye and Mo Yu were also Silently observing him. However, whether it was Mo Yu or Fei Ye who had already achieved an Indestructible Demon Soul, they found that they could not see through Lin Feng at all.
It was not that he was immeasurably powerful, but at this moment, in front of them, Lin Feng was like an ordinary person who had not cultivated Dao at all.
The question was, was this possible?
It was precisely because of this that Fei Ye and Mo Yu felt that Lin Feng was unfathomable.
At this moment, Xiao Yan had also come out of the Mysterious Heaven Time Cave. Silently standing behind Lin Feng, he naturally fell into the eyes of Fei Ye and Mo Yu. This time, they could see through the level of Xiao Yan's cultivation at a glance.
There was no mistaking his cultivation at the late-stage of the Golden Elixir, but Fei Ye and Mo Yu could faintly sense that there was an extremely terrifying aura hidden in Xiao Yan's body.
Fei Ye was fine, but Mo Yu, who was already at the late-stage of the Demon King Realm and was only a step away from achieving an Indestructible Demon Soul, actually felt a sense of danger when looking at Xiao Yan.
It was as if this young man in purple clothes with black clothes on the outside had the ability to endanger her life.
Although Mo Yu did not show it on the surface, he was actually surprised in the bottom of his heart, even though there was a difference of an entire great realm between them.
Lin Feng calmly looked at Fei Ye and Mo Yu and faintly said, "What are the two of you here for?"
Fei Ye straightforwardly said, "In the past, our clan had a supreme treasure called the Wutong Tree Heart. Ten thousand years ago, we lent it to the Ocean Sky Kunpeng Sage. Later on, the Ocean Sky Kunpeng Sage perished in the Divine Land, causing our clan's supreme treasure to be lost in the Arctic Sea of the Divine Land."
The Ocean Sky Kunpeng Sage was the Ocean Sky Kunpeng Sage who achieved the third level of the Indestructible Demon Soul in ancient times.
"Previously, the current Patriarch of the Kunpeng Clan, the Azure Sky Kunpeng Sage, sent his son, Hei Yu, into the Ocean Sky Kunpeng Sage's inheritance. My clan's junior, Mo Yu, also went with him to retrieve the lost Wutong Tree Heart." As Fei Ye spoke, he looked at Mo Yu, who was beside him. "But in the end, a great change occurred and they failed."
Fei Ye looked at Lin Feng and Silently said, "This time, we came in the hope that the Celestial Gate Master can return our clan's treasure."
Lin Feng smiled and did not say anything. Naturally, Xiao Yan, who was standing behind him, did not say anything either.
For a moment, both parties did not say anything and the situation became a little awkward.
Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows and his expression gradually became strange. He used his transcendence energy to transmit his voice to Lin Feng, "Master, is this phoenix trying to get something for nothing?"
Lin Feng smiled. "That's not the case. It's just that this clan's way of thinking is like this."
According to the phoenix clan's moral standards and way of thinking, it's normal for me to retrieve something that I've lost. It's only natural for me to return it to its rightful owner, no matter what happened before.
Even if you didn't snatch this thing from me, since you picked it up, you should return it to me. There's no such thing as a transaction. Don't think of asking me to repay you. I don't need to express any gratitude to you because it's mine to begin with.
On the contrary, if I picked up your thing, I would definitely return it to you regardless of the cost. I might even take the initiative to return it to you.
From the way Fei Ye, Mo Yu, and the rest thought since they were young, this was a matter of course.
After listening to Lin Feng's words, Xiao Yan grinned. "To be honest, this Wutong Tree's Heart has changed hands a few times, so its ownership should've been redefined long ago. Does it really belong to him just because he said it's his?"
"At the very least, it's his, but that doesn't mean others have to follow his moral standards."
The corner of Lin Feng's mouth curled up into a light smile: "So, since ancient times, when the Phoenix race and other races have conflicts, it's usually because other people have provoked them, then they fight back. In a few cases, the Phoenix race initiates a fight, it's all because of the clash of ideas."
Xiao Yan remained calm and collected, but he began to scrutinize Fei Ye and Mo Yu. "Master, what are they doing? Trying peaceful means before resorting to force? "
"Not really. I can only say that they're testing us. They want to see if we have the same ideologies as them."
Lin Feng smiled unconcernedly. At this point in time, as long as it's not a completely irreconcilable conflict or a life and death enmity, then there's no power in the entire Heaven Primal world that will easily start a war with the Xuan Gate Sky Sect.
No one was willing to provoke the phoenix clan, but similarly, no one would easily provoke Lin Feng.
Xiao Yan asked, "Master, then we …"
Lin Feng replied faintly, "They don't have a say in today's matter, so there's no need for us to say anything. The person involved can make her own decision."
Xiao Yan came to a realization. "That's right. Tong 'er already has her own consciousness, so she should make her own decision."
Finally, Lin Feng instructed, "There's no need to inform Tong 'er in advance, and there's no need to instill her thoughts in advance. Let her make her own decision."
"Master?" Xiao Yan was a little surprised, but when he saw Lin Feng's indifferent expression, Xiao Yan revealed a thoughtful expression.
The exchange of sound transmissions between the master and disciple ended. Lin Feng opened his mouth and said: "Go bring Tong 'er over to see the two of the phoenix race." Xiao Yan nodded his head, his figure disappearing on the spot.
After Xiao Yan left, Fei Ye and Mo Yu's expressions slightly relaxed. The awkward atmosphere just now was indeed a little awkward. Aside from Lin Feng and his disciple, Fei Ye and Mo Yu were also secretly communicating with each other.
"Uncle, if the master of the Celestial Gate insists on not returning our Wutong Treeheart, what should we do?" Mo Yu asked. "The Tree Sovereign has been waiting for us."
Fei Ye's expression did not change. After a moment of silence, he said, "Right now, the clan is also divided into two factions. One faction thinks that we should negotiate with Xuanmen Tianzong and take back the treeheart through peaceful means. The other faction thinks that we should simply take back the treeheart by force and not bow to the greed of humans."
Mo Yu frowned slightly. "The ideology of the human clan is too different from ours …"
Fei Ye said, "The price of fighting with Xuanmen Tianzong is too high, but we have to be mentally prepared in this regard."
As the two of them were talking, they heard Lin Feng asking Xiao Yan to bring the Wutong Treeheart over. For a moment, they were relieved. After all, just standing in front of Lin Feng on Mount Yujing made them feel pressured.
However, Fei Ye and Mo Yu were slightly stunned when they heard the term 'Tong' er '. "Does this mean that the Wutong Treeheart has already become a spirit and developed its own consciousness? Has it become a spirit?"
This was somewhat out of their expectations. However, the two phoenixes were still confident that as long as Lin Feng and his disciple did not stop them, they believed that they could successfully convince little Lin Tong to return to Infinite Wilderness with them.
"After all, that's her hometown, and her clansmen are there. Even if she hasn't become a demon, she's still a divine wutong."
Fei Ye and Mo Yu exchanged glances as the same thought appeared in their minds.
Very soon, Xiao Yan returned with little Lin Tong. The little fellow sucked on her fingers and looked at Fei Ye and Mo Yu curiously with her big eyes. Her intuition told her that these two strangers were rather close to her.
Fei Ye and Mo Yu were instantly more confident when they noticed Lin Tong's gaze. The phoenixes and the wutong had been companions for countless years, so it was impossible for their bloodline to be severed.
Fei Ye was in a good mood. "If the master of the Celestial Gate and his disciple don't interfere and let this little girl make her own decision, then there won't be a problem at all."
