The Black Lotus Reborn: The Entire Sect Kneels and Begs for My Forgiveness

"Your Highness, you and the Third Prince are brothers. Don't act rashly for the sake of a woman."

Seeing the two men at each other's throats, several lieutenants rushed to their side, their voices urgent and pleading.

They knew that if the Crown Prince and the Third Prince were to turn against each other and fight at this moment, not only would the royal family lose face, but the situation in the Holy Dynasty would become even more chaotic.

One of the lieutenants, his face flushed red, veins bulging on his forehead, glared angrily at Ye Yunong, his eyes practically spitting fire, and roared,

"It's all your fault, you woman, spreading rumors and misleading the public! You've turned our brothers into this mess!"

In his view, Ye Yunong was a femme fatale who had bewitched the Crown Prince by some unknown means, which made the brotherhood between them precarious.

Another lieutenant echoed this sentiment, his brows furrowed into a deep frown, his face filled with anxiety.

"Your Highness, you must remain calm! Don't fall for this vixen's tricks and ruin everything!"

These deputy generals were loyal to the royal family and devoted to the stability of the Holy Dynasty. In their simple understanding, Ye Yunong's appearance had disrupted the original peace and brought only strife and crisis. They only hoped that the Crown Prince could come to his senses and put aside the disputes.

"Too late, he brought this on himself!"

The third prince's eyes were wide with rage, his face filled with ambition.

He was convinced that the Crown Prince was going to compete with him for Ye Yunong.

In his heart, Ye Yunong possessed a chaotic spiritual root and had a cultivation talent that was difficult for others to match. He was determined to have such a woman.

Greed, like a ferocious beast, completely devoured the last remaining brotherhood in his heart. At this moment, his mind and eyes were filled only with the desire to seize the Chaos Spiritual Root.

The third prince clutched the mysterious token he had won at auction tightly in his hand. Runes flickered on the token, which seemed to contain endless power.

He suddenly waved his token, chanting incantations, and controlled the Crimson Water Serpent to launch a deadly attack on the Crown Prince.

The black serpent, which was already majestic and soaring through the air with its claws outstretched, became excited after receiving the order from its master.

It let out another long cry, a sound so deafening it seemed to shatter the entire world.

Immediately afterwards, it spat out a bolt of black lightning from its mouth. The lightning was like a nimble black snake, carrying an aura of destruction, and pounced towards the prince.

Wherever it passed, the air seemed to be torn apart, making a "hissing" sound, and leaving scorched marks on the ground.

At this moment, Ye Yunong raised her eyebrows and a cold glint flashed in her eyes.

Without hesitation, she looked at the phoenix beside her and softly uttered a few words.

"Go help."

Upon receiving the command, the phoenix spread its wings, and the flames around it burned even more fiercely, transforming into a dazzling streak of fire, and flew towards the prince like an arrow released from a bow.

It was incredibly fast, arriving in front of the prince almost in the blink of an eye.

The powerful aura of fire collided with the black lightning, producing a deafening roar and bursting forth with blinding light. For a moment, the battlefield was filled with light, making it impossible for anyone to open their eyes.

The battle between the phoenix and the red-water serpent stirred up the winds and clouds.

Flames surged wildly around the phoenix, and with each flap of its wings, it unleashed a torrent of heat that distorted the surrounding air.

Although the Crimson Water Serpent possessed the strength of a Void God Realm cultivator, it gradually fell into a disadvantageous position under the powerful pressure of the Phoenix.

It desperately spewed out black lightning, trying to withstand the phoenix's attack, but the lightning was instantly engulfed as soon as it got close to the phoenix's flames.

The phoenix seized the opportunity, let out a clear cry, and shot straight into the sky like a sharp arrow before swooping down.

Its claws, like hooks, viciously grabbed at the head of the Red Water Serpent.

The Red Water Serpent couldn't dodge in time and was firmly grabbed by the Phoenix. It struggled desperately, its body twisting violently and stirring up gusts of wind.

The phoenix showed no mercy, its flames instantly surging and tightly enveloping the Crimson Water Serpent.

Under the scorching heat, the Red Water Serpent let out a painful roar, its voice growing weaker and weaker until it finally fell silent, turning into a charred mess and plummeting from the sky.

Having dealt with the Crimson Water Serpent, the Phoenix's power remained undiminished. Its enormous body circled in the air and turned to look at the Third Prince.

Seeing that his support was gone, the third prince was filled with terror, his legs went weak, and he turned to run away.

But the phoenix wouldn't give him a chance; it spread its wings and chased after him like a streak of fire.

In the blink of an eye, the phoenix flew to the top of the Third Prince's head, and flames fell like a torrential rain, instantly engulfing the Third Prince.

The third prince let out a miserable cry and struggled desperately in the flames, but all his efforts were in vain.

In a short while, he was reduced to ashes by the raging flames and vanished into the world.

This battle came on strong, but ended in the blink of an eye.

The lieutenants, who had been trying to mediate the fight, were all stunned and speechless at the shocking scene before them.

Their faces were filled with disbelief, their eyes wide open and their mouths agape as if they could fit an egg in them.

General Liang was the first to come to his senses. Looking at the mess on the ground and the ashes of the Third Prince and the Crimson Water Serpent, he secretly thought that something was wrong.

He knew that this turn of events was beyond his control, and if he stayed any longer, he might lose his life.

Without hesitation, he turned and ran, his figure quickly disappearing into the dust in the distance.

The Crown Prince was equally stunned by the scene before him.

He stood there dumbfounded, staring blankly at the majestic phoenix in the sky, his mind a complete blank.

The Crimson Water Serpent bestowed by the Holy Ancestor was considered an incomparably powerful being by the people of the Holy Dynasty.

They thought it would bring unpredictable changes to the fight, but who would have thought that their master's mount, the phoenix, would defeat them in no time?

The Crown Prince was filled with shock. This Crimson Water Serpent was so powerful, yet it was no match for his master's phoenix. Did this mean that his master could easily defeat the Holy Ancestor?

Once the thought flashed through his mind, he felt more and more shocked. In his eyes as he looked at Ye Yunong, in addition to the original respect and admiration, there was also a bit more determination.

He would eat meat if he followed his master, and from now on he would swear to be loyal to his master to the death!
