Genius in the whole system: The useless young lady dominates the world

The Phoenix Clan envoy led Lu Lingxi and her entourage through a misty forest. The air was thick with a strange fragrance. Lu Lingxi felt dizzy, but Nalan Rongzhi quickly caught her and gently touched her wrist with his fingertips. A cool sensation instantly flowed through her body, dispelling her discomfort.

"Yaoyao, be careful." Nalan Rongzhi's voice was deep and gentle, his eyes full of concern.

Lu Lingxi smiled slightly and grasped his hand in return: "I'm fine." She looked up and saw a colorful light faintly appearing in front of her, like a rainbow falling to earth.

"That is the Phoenix Clan's territory," the Phoenix Clan envoy said respectfully. "Distinguished guests, please follow me."

Passing through the mist, the view suddenly opened up, revealing a vast valley where hundreds of flowers bloomed in vibrant colors, various exotic animals frolicked and played among them, and birds of different colors soared in the air, their clear calls weaving together into a beautiful melody.

"This is the Phoenix Clan's territory!" Feng Qingxue exclaimed in amazement as she looked at the beautiful scenery before her.

Besides the Phoenix Clan, this area is also home to various other species such as the Bluebird, Thornbird, Flame Bird, Azure Winged Bird, Light Feather Hornbill, Wind-Eroded Mist Bird, Divine Fire Flying Crow, Dragon Sparrow (Black Bird), Thunder Dove, Water Spirit Kite, Yellow Jade Bird, and Wind Chime Bird. However, at this moment, the Phoenix Clan's territory is shrouded in a tense atmosphere.

The Phoenix Clan envoy led them to a magnificent palace, his expression solemn: "Distinguished guests, please wait here for a moment while I go and inform the clan leader."

Lu Lingxi looked around and keenly sensed an uneasy atmosphere in the air. Nalan Rongzhi also frowned slightly. He protected Lu Lingxi behind him and vigilantly observed the surrounding movements. Bai Ze and Feng Qingxue stood silently to the side with complicated expressions.

Before long, the Phoenix Clan envoy rushed back, his face pale. "Something terrible has happened! The clan leader has been imprisoned!"

"What?!" Feng Qingxue exclaimed in surprise, her expression changing drastically.

"What are the specifics?" Lu Lingxi asked calmly.

The Phoenix Clan envoy took a deep breath and recounted the whole story. It turned out that a rebel named Feng Tianjiao had emerged within the Phoenix Clan. He coveted the position of clan leader, incited other clans to fight against the Phoenix, and imprisoned the clan leader, intending to usurp the Phoenix Clan's rule.

“Feng Tianjiao?” Bai Ze murmured to himself, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. “I think I’ve heard this name before.”

“This man is ambitious and ruthless, and he will stop at nothing to achieve his goals,” the Phoenix Clan envoy said through gritted teeth. “The Phoenix Clan is in chaos right now, and many of his members have been misled by him. The situation is extremely critical.”

“It seems we’ve arrived just in time.” Lu Lingxi’s lips curled into a cold smile. “I’d like to see just how capable this Feng Tianjiao really is.”

Nalan Rongzhi gently put his arm around her shoulder and whispered in her ear, "Yaoyao, be careful."

Lu Lingxi nodded and turned to look at Bai Ze and Feng Qingxue: "Let's rescue the Phoenix Clan Chief first, and then make further plans."

The four followed the Phoenix Clan envoy through layers of guards to the place where the clan chief was imprisoned. It was a hidden underground prison, dark and damp, with a musty smell in the air.

"The clan leader is inside," the Phoenix Clan envoy said, pointing to the depths of the prison.

Lu Lingxi walked forward and saw a haggard old man imprisoned in the cell. It was Feng Ming, the patriarch of the Phoenix Clan. He was chained up, covered in wounds, and barely breathing.

"Clan leader!" Feng Qingxue called out anxiously, her eyes filled with worry.

Feng Ming slowly opened his eyes, and upon seeing Feng Qingxue, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "You have the aura of the Phoenix on you? You could not possibly be..."

The Phoenix Clan envoy quickly said, "Clan leader, she is the princess that the Phoenix Emperor sent away to avoid disaster—Feng Jiuhuang. We will rescue you first, and then we will talk to you in detail."

Lu Lingxi stepped forward, her spiritual energy surging in her hands, instantly shattering the iron chains on the prison door. Feng Ming regained his freedom, but due to his long imprisonment, his body was weak and he almost fell. Lu Lingxi quickly caught him, and a gentle spiritual energy slowly flowed into his body to help him recover his strength.

"Thank you so much to all my benefactors..." Feng Ming said gratefully.

“Clan leader, there’s no need for you to be so polite. Let’s leave here first,” Lu Lingxi said.

As the group helped Feng Ming up, preparing to leave the cell, a chilling laugh suddenly came from outside the door: "Trying to leave? Not so easy!"

Immediately afterwards, a group of people rushed into the prison. Leading them was a woman dressed in a gorgeous dress, who was very alluring. This woman was Feng Tianjiao. Behind her was a group of aggressive Phoenix Clan traitors, as well as members of other races, including a few dragons.

"Bai Ze, I didn't expect to see you here." Feng Tianjiao stared at Bai Ze with a cold gaze. "It seems you've already returned to the Dragon Clan."

Bai Ze's face darkened, and a flash of anger appeared in his eyes: "Feng Tianjiao, how dare you collude with the Dragon Clan and betray the Phoenix Clan!"

Feng Tianjiao sneered, "Now that the Phoenix Clan has fallen into my hands, what right do you have to lecture me?"

"Do you think you've already won?" Lu Lingxi stepped forward, blocking Bai Ze's path, her gaze fixed coldly on Feng Tianjiao.

Nalan Rongzhi stood behind Lu Lingxi Yao. Although he did not speak, the powerful aura emanating from him was enough to intimidate everyone present.

Feng Qingxue looked at Bai Ze with concern in her eyes. Although she did not have the strength of Lu Lingxi Yao, she still stood firmly by Bai Ze's side, ready to face the current predicament with him.

"So you're Lu Lingxi Yao? I know you're strong, but do you think you can stop me all by yourself?" Feng Tianjiao sneered, a ruthless glint in her eyes. The traitors behind her also drew their weapons, staring menacingly at Lu Lingxi Yao and the others.

"Try it and you'll see." Lu Lingxi's lips curled up slightly, revealing a cold smile. She quickly formed hand seals, and spiritual energy surged around her, forming a powerful defensive barrier.

Nalan Rongzhi gripped his longsword and flashed into view, instantly appearing before Feng Tianjiao with his sword pointed directly at her throat.

Feng Tianjiao's expression changed drastically. She never expected the man to be so fast. She hurriedly retreated, barely dodging Nalan Rongzhi's fatal blow.

Just then, a commotion suddenly broke out outside the cell. Immediately afterwards, a mysterious man dressed in a black robe and wearing a bamboo hat appeared at the door. He was tall and exuded a powerful aura that made people afraid to look him in the eye.

The mysterious man slowly removed his bamboo hat, revealing a handsome and cold face. His sharp eyes swept over the people in the cell before finally fixing on Feng Tianjiao.

"Who are you?" Feng Tianjiao was startled, feeling an unprecedented sense of oppression.

The mysterious man did not answer, but only smiled coldly. In a flash, he appeared in front of Feng Tianjiao and struck her chest with a palm.

Caught off guard, Feng Tianjiao was struck by the palm and sent flying backward, crashing heavily to the ground, spitting out blood.

“You…” Feng Tianjiao struggled to get up, but found herself powerless, as if her spiritual power was sealed and she could not move.

The mysterious man slowly walked up to Feng Tianjiao, looked down at her, and said coldly, "The affairs of the Phoenix Clan are none of your business."

"Who...who exactly are you?" Feng Tianjiao's eyes were filled with fear and despair.

"Who I am is not for you to know." The mysterious man sneered and struck out with his palm again, knocking Feng Tianjiao unconscious.

After dealing with Feng Tianjiao, the mysterious man turned to Lu Lingxi and the others and said coldly, "You can leave now."

Lu Lingxi, Yao and the others looked at each other, not understanding who this mysterious person was or why he wanted to help them.

"And who are you?" Bai Ze asked tentatively.

The mysterious man did not answer, but simply smiled faintly, turned and left, his figure quickly disappearing into the darkness.

"Who...who exactly is he?" Feng Qingxue stared in the direction the mysterious man had left, her eyes filled with doubt.

“Whoever he is, at least he helped us,” Lu Lingxi said. “Let’s leave here first.”

After leaving the cell, Feng Ming told everyone that Feng Tianjiao was not the only traitor to the Phoenix Clan; there were many others. In addition to them, many other bird clans in the Phoenix Realm had also betrayed the Phoenix Clan, making it extremely difficult to resolve this problem.

"What do we do now?" Feng Qingxue asked worriedly.

Lu Lingxi Yao pondered for a moment and said, "Let's go back to the Phoenix Clan first, and then discuss this further."

Everyone nodded in agreement and decided to return to the Phoenix Clan first, and then discuss countermeasures.
