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

On Wutong Mountain, the air was filled with a strong, nauseating stench of blood. The Phoenix Clan's territory, now devastated after the rebellion was quelled, was a scene of utter devastation, with the once magnificent palaces reduced to ruins.

Elder Fengming leaned on his cane, his face grave as he surveyed the scene, his sunken eyes filled with exhaustion.

"There is still no trace of His Majesty the Phoenix..." Feng Yao knelt on one knee, his voice trembling slightly. His armor was tattered and stained with blood, clearly indicating that he had been through a fierce battle.

Feng Ming sighed and shook his head. "Alas, I'm afraid the outcome is dire. Those damned traitors actually colluded with the dark organization; their crimes are unforgivable!" He coughed violently a few times, his aged body seemingly about to collapse at any moment.

Just then, two figures descended from the sky and landed steadily in front of Feng Ming. The newcomers were Lu Lingxi Yao and Nalan Rongzhi.

“Elder Fengming, Envoy Fengyao.” Lu Lingxi Yao nodded slightly, her tone cool.

"Miss Lu Ling, Young Master Nalan, you're back." Elder Fengming forced himself to be cheerful and bowed.

“We have confirmed that the Phoenix Heart has fallen into the hands of the Dark Organization,” Lu Lingxi Yao said directly.

"What?!" Elder Fengming and Envoy Fengyao's expressions changed drastically, and they exclaimed in unison. The Phoenix Heart is the Phoenix Clan's most precious treasure, which is related to the rise and fall of the entire Phoenix Clan. If it falls into the hands of the Dark Organization, the consequences will be unimaginable.

“I’ve received word that Her Majesty the Phoenix has been handed over to the Dark Organization by Feng Tianjiao and is no longer on the Illusionary Sea Continent,” Nalan Rongzhi quickly added.

Upon hearing this, Elder Fengming swayed and nearly fell. Envoy Fengyao quickly supported him, his eyes filled with worry.

Seeing this, Lu Lingxi took out a pill from her sleeve and handed it to Elder Fengming, saying, "Elder, take this pill to regulate your breathing."

Elder Fengming gratefully accepted the pill, and after taking it, his complexion indeed improved somewhat.

"Now that His Majesty the Phoenix Emperor is gone, the Phoenix Clan is leaderless. What should we do next?" Envoy Feng Yao asked anxiously.

Lu Lingxi Yao looked at Feng Qingxue standing to the side and said slowly, "Xiaoxue is the daughter of His Majesty the Phoenix Emperor and a princess of the Phoenix Clan. She should temporarily assume the position of the Phoenix Emperor and reorganize the Phoenix Clan."

Upon hearing this, Feng Qingxue was slightly taken aback, then stepped forward and said firmly, "I am willing to take on this responsibility and lead the Phoenix Clan out of this predicament!"

Bai Ze stood beside Feng Qingxue, holding her hand and offering her silent support.

Lu Lingxi and Nalan Rongzhi exchanged a glance and nodded slightly.

“In that case, we should take our leave,” Lu Lingxi said. “We will do our best to retrieve the Phoenix Heart, and we also hope that the Phoenix Clan can recover its strength as soon as possible.”

"Thank you both for your help. The Phoenix Clan is deeply grateful!" Elder Fengming bowed deeply.

Lu Lingxi and Nalan Rongzhi didn't say anything more, turned around and left Wutong Mountain. Their destination was the Golden Dragon Clan, where they would ask the Dragon Emperor for a way to rescue Lan Yuan.

Nalan Rongzhi held Lu Lingxi's hand tightly, feeling the coldness of her palm. He knew that although Lu Lingxi appeared calm on the surface, she was very anxious inside.

"Yaoyao, don't worry, we will definitely rescue Lan Yuan," Nalan Rongzhi said softly.

Lu Lingxi raised her head and met Nalan Rongzhi's deep gaze, a warm feeling welling up in her heart.

The two flew for a long time and soon arrived at the territory of the Golden Dragon Clan—Dragon Abyss Valley.

Dragon Abyss Valley is the territory of the Golden Dragon Clan. It is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round, with abundant spiritual energy, making it like a fairyland. The Golden Dragon Clan's palace is located on the top of the clouds.

Because Lu Lingxi had previously helped the Golden Dragon Clan, the Dragon Clan guards were not surprised by the arrival of Lu Lingxi and Nalan Rongzhi.

As soon as the two stepped into Dragon Abyss Valley, guards came forward and bowed respectfully, saying, "Miss Lu Ling, Young Master Nalan, His Majesty the Dragon Emperor has been waiting in the palace for a long time. Please follow me."

Lu Lingxi and Nalan Rongzhi followed the guards through the many palace gates and arrived at the palace where the Dragon Emperor was located. At this moment, the Dragon Emperor had recovered considerably compared to his previous weak appearance.

Upon seeing Lu Lingxi and Nalan Rongzhi, the Dragon Emperor immediately rose to greet them, a grateful smile on his face: "Miss Lu Ling, Young Master Nalan, thanks to your help last time, my clan was able to turn the tide."

Lu Lingxi Yao never liked formalities, so she went straight to the point: "Your Majesty, I have come here today because of Lan Yuan. He has been devoured by the power of darkness and his condition is critical. I wonder if Your Majesty has any way to save him?"

The Dragon Emperor sighed, his expression grave: "Prince Lingyu has been devoured by the power of darkness, and the situation is indeed not optimistic. The power of darkness is extremely domineering and will gradually erode the mind and soul of the devoured, eventually turning them into a dark puppet."

Nalan Rongzhi's eyes turned cold, and a chilling aura emanated from his body: "Is there a way to save us?"

After a moment of contemplation, the Dragon Emperor slowly said, "According to ancient records, there is a divine object called the 'Purifying Lotus,' which can purify all the filth in the world. Perhaps it can dispel the dark power within Prince Lan Yuan's body."

"The Pure Lotus?" Lu Lingxi frowned slightly. "Where is this?"

The Dragon Emperor continued, "The Pure Lotus grows in extremely cold places and blooms only once every ten thousand years. Its petals have the power to purify all impurities."

"Where is the coldest place?" Lu Lingxi asked.

The Dragon Emperor said, "It is said to be in the Seventh Realm—the Frost Continent. I don't know the exact location, but I have something that can help you." As he spoke, the Dragon Emperor took out a golden dragon scale from his sleeve and handed it to Lu Lingxi Yao. "This is my scale. It can withstand the extreme cold of the Frost Continent. If you take it with you, it should reduce some of the risks."

Lu Lingxi Yao accepted the dragon scale and thanked him. She knew that the dragon scale was extremely important to the dragon race, and the fact that the Dragon Emperor was willing to give her the reverse scale was enough to prove his sincerity.

Seeing the Dragon Emperor's hesitant expression, Lu Lingxi asked, "Your Majesty, is there anything else we can help you with?"

The Dragon Emperor nodded solemnly: "If possible, I urge Miss Lu Ling and Young Master Nalan to keep a close eye on the whereabouts of our clan's most precious treasure—the Dragon Pearl."

Lu Lingxi readily agreed, "No problem! Your Majesty, do you have a way to get to the Frostbite Continent?"

“My clan has a teleportation array. Please follow me.” The Dragon Emperor said, then rose and led the two into the depths of the palace. After passing through a winding corridor, they arrived at a spacious secret chamber. In the center of the chamber, a teleportation array, shimmering with light, was quietly operating, emitting a powerful spatial force.

"This is the teleportation array leading to the Frostbite Continent," the Dragon Emperor said, pointing to the array. "The two of you only need to step into it to instantly arrive at the Frostbite Continent."

Lu Lingxi glanced coldly at the teleportation array without saying a word. She looked at Nalan Rongzhi, who held her hand, their fingers intertwined, and gave her a reassuring look.

Then, the two stepped into the center of the formation side by side. A dazzling white light flashed, and their figures disappeared into the secret chamber.
