Phoenix Cry spread its enormous wings, and as golden light shone down, a teleportation portal appeared. The clan leader led everyone through it, and after a brief period of dizziness, they arrived at the Phoenix Clan's territory—Mount Wutong.

The towering sycamore trees reach straight into the sky, their branches and leaves so thick that they block out the sun. Golden sunlight filters through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled shadows on the ground. The air is filled with the rich fragrance of sycamore trees, which is refreshing and delightful.

Feng Ming led everyone to the council hall. In the center of the hall was a huge round table with a lifelike phoenix totem carved on it. Feng Ming sat in the main seat with a solemn expression, while Lu Lingxi Yao, Nalan Rongzhi, Bai Ze, Feng Qingxue and others stood on either side.

“The situation of the Phoenix Clan is worse than I imagined.” Feng Ming’s voice was filled with endless weariness. “Feng Tianjiao is just the tip of the iceberg. There are many traitors lurking in the shadows within the Phoenix Clan, waiting for their chance to strike. What is even more worrying is that large-scale rebellions have also broken out among the other bird clans in the Phoenix Realm.”

Feng Qingxue clenched her fists tightly, her eyes flashing with anger: "These traitors dared to betray the Phoenix Clan! I will bring them to justice!"

Bai Ze gently patted Feng Qingxue's shoulder and softly comforted her, "Qingxue, calm down. Now is not the time to act impulsively."

Nalan Rongzhi snorted coldly, his slender fingers tapping lightly on the table, making a crisp sound: "The most urgent task is to find these traitors and wipe them out in one fell swoop." His icy gaze swept over everyone, carrying an undeniable air of authority.

Lu Lingxi listened quietly to everyone's remarks, her gaze deep, as if she could see through everything. She slowly spoke, "To find these traitors, we need a meticulous plan."

"Miss Lu Ling, what are your thoughts?" Feng Ming looked at Lu Ling Xi Yao, his eyes filled with anticipation.

Lu Lingxi smiled slightly, a sly glint in her eyes, "Since these traitors are hiding so well, let them come out on their own."

"How can we get them to come out on their own?" Feng Qingxue asked, puzzled.

Lu Lingxi Yao kept everyone in suspense, then smiled mysteriously, "Well, that's a secret for now, but we need the cooperation of Clan Chief Fengming."

Feng Ming nodded without hesitation, "As long as the traitors of the Phoenix Clan can be eliminated, I will cooperate fully."

Over the next few days, Lu Lingxi and Nalan Rongzhi secretly devised a plan. They turned the tables on the traitors by deliberately spreading false information to lure them out. Meanwhile, Bai Ze and Feng Qingxue were responsible for secretly investigating and collecting evidence against the traitors.

The atmosphere on Wutong Mountain grew increasingly tense, like the calm before a storm. Every member of the Phoenix Clan was cautious, afraid of accidentally triggering a mechanism and exposing their identity.

One day, Lu Lingxi and Nalan Rongzhi were discussing their next plan when suddenly, a golden phoenix descended from the sky and landed in front of them. This phoenix was huge, its feathers were shimmering with golden light, and it exuded a powerful aura.

“Miss Lu Ling, Young Master Nalan, the clan leader requests that you proceed to the council hall immediately.” Phoenix’s voice was loud and solemn.

Lu Lingxi and Nalan Rongzhi exchanged a glance, a sense of foreboding rising in their hearts. They immediately got up and followed the golden phoenix to the council hall.

Inside the council hall, the atmosphere was heavy and oppressive. Feng Ming sat in the main seat, his face ashen. Several elders stood beside him, their faces filled with anger and shock.

"What happened?" Lu Lingxi asked in a deep voice.

Feng Ming took a deep breath and said slowly, "Just now, we discovered Feng Tianjiao's whereabouts."

"What? Feng Tianjiao? Wasn't she already imprisoned?" Feng Qingxue exclaimed in surprise.

Feng Ming shook his head, his tone heavy with sorrow: "She escaped, and she also took with her something extremely important—the Phoenix Clan's sacred relic, the Heart of the Phoenix."

"The Heart of the Phoenix?!" Everyone was shocked, and their expressions became even more grim.

The Phoenix Heart is a sacred object of the Phoenix Clan, containing immense power and serving as the foundation upon which the Phoenix Clan depends for survival. If the Phoenix Heart falls into the hands of evildoers, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Damn it! This Feng Tianjiao is so audacious!" Feng Qingxue gritted her teeth, wishing she could tear Feng Tianjiao to pieces immediately.

Lu Lingxi's expression also turned serious. She originally thought that Feng Tianjiao was just a clown and not worth fearing, but she did not expect that she would have such great power to steal the Phoenix Heart.

"What do we do now?" Feng Ming asked anxiously, looking at Lu Lingxi Yao. "Miss Lu Ling, you must have a way, right?"

Lu Lingxi took a deep breath, her gaze resolute. "Don't worry, Clan Chief Fengming, I will definitely find the Phoenix Heart and bring Feng Tianjiao to justice!"
