The whole family went mad, but the junior sister turned the tables and her luck soared.

Yun Yici had a bit of a headache.

"So it's an ascended old Denga divine beast? And a high-level cultivator from another realm who's being controlled?"

This is going to be really tough.

Just like the phoenix fire of the imperial edict, there is also the candlelight that can discern good from evil.

Mythical beasts, of course, must possess some strange and wonderful gifts or talents.

As far as Yun Yici knows, although both Jiufeng and Jiuying have nine heads, the two species are quite different.

Nine Phoenixes: A mythical beast.

Nine-Headed Serpent: A ferocious beast.

One is a god, the other a wicked man.

The nine heads of Jiuying share a unified mind, and when they transform into human form, they are quite handsome.

As for Jiufeng, his nine heads each have their own thoughts, some good and some evil, and even the male and female heads are different.

It has nine heads sharing one body, and when it transforms into human form, it has nine different appearances.

Legend has it that if one of the nine phoenix heads gets food, the other eight heads will rush over to fight for it, completely disregarding the fact that they are a whole.

Anyway, it's weird.

Yun Yici: I'm really hungry, that's why I would think of possessing a monster.

Xue Ziyan, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke.

She said, "Nine Phoenixes have not been completely possessed."

"When I was a child practicing the piano, I once saw a beautiful woman in a black dress."

“My mother can’t see her, only I can.”

“She wept as she looked at me and said that she was the sixth child in her family, and that her five older brothers and sisters had died one after another, and that she would die soon as well.”

"Before she died, her spirit heard my music and came to me, saying many things to me."

"I was too young at the time, and I thought it was a dream."

"The only thing I remember is that she said once they all died, their bodies would be taken away."

"I didn't take it to heart at the time."

“Until I was sent by the Xue family to Ximing City to give birth to Suiyi, who was born mute, the Demon King wanted to abandon her.”

"It was then that I learned that the Feathered Clan demon cultivators of Ximing City were descendants of the Nine Phoenixes."

“The unusual behavior of the year is called atavism.”

“It was my human bloodline that dragged her down, causing her to die young.”

"I searched through ancient books and finally found the only way, but it requires the essence and blood of a divine bird."

"And the only divine bird in this world is the Nine-Phoenix."

"That's why I brought Suiyi back to the Xue family."

"As for my mother's matter, I have known about it for a long time. I have been married to Ximing City for a hundred years and have written to her many times, but I have never received her handwritten letter."

Xue Ziyan said, "Whether you believe it or not, I have a premonition that Jiufeng is not dead."

"Old Xu discovered that the handwritten record of the great battle with Jiufeng dates back 1,800 years."

"Based on the time I encountered the Nine Phoenix Wanderer, it would take three hundred years for the consciousness of one head to be annihilated."

"So now, the sixth head of the Nine Phoenixes is dead, and they are now eliminating the seventh, and there is also the eighth and ninth."

“I need his essence to save Suiyi, and our original plan was to start with Jiufeng.”

"Our strength alone is far too weak."

Yun Yici sighed, feeling a pang of sympathy for Jiu Feng: "That's too tragic."

The Xue family patriarch wants to take a shortcut to ascend to immortality, doesn't he?

The problem is that, according to the Emperor's decree, the Ximing City lineage is the descendants of sinners banished from the divine realm.

Rounding up, Jiufeng is a sinful bird banished from the divine realm.

In short, Jiufeng was thrown down to the God Realm and imprisoned; she could never ascend to heaven.

So how crazy must the mysterious ancestor of the Xue family have been to spend 3927, 2700 years to snatch the body of a prisoner?

Yun Yici was extremely relieved that he hadn't brought the imperial edict with him.

The Emperor's edict is far away in the Demon Realm, and no one in the Xue family knows of his existence, so he should be safe and sound.

Yun Yici concluded, "So now it is?"

"Waiting for you and your demon companion to act together?"

She didn't have a good impression of the demon king of Ximing City, because abandoning his daughter just because she was destined to die young was not the act of a gentleman.

Xue Ziyan said, "I have already sent someone to take Suiyi to her father."

"My demon companion will observe the situation from the sidelines."

That's just watching the show during halftime.

If the situation is good, I'll get involved; if the situation is bad, it's none of my business.

Shen Huaichuan chuckled lightly and said, "Now it seems that the imperial edict does have some merit."

The Emperor was proud of the Feathered Clan's unwavering loyalty, but it seems that not all Feathered Clan members are like that.

Xue Ziyan didn't know who Shen Huaichuan was referring to, but she could hear the unspoken meaning in the subtle changes in his tone.

She lowered her eyes and said softly, "You flatter me, senior."

“He saw that I was beautiful and had genuinely loved me, otherwise he would not have recognized me as his demon consort.”

"I had to obey him in order to survive, and for Suiyi's sake, I talked back to him for the first time."

"There is an insurmountable chasm between the human race and the demon race."

“He won’t sacrifice the very foundation of Ximing City for my sake.”

"At least he promised that if I fail, he will ensure that I have no worries."

Yun Yici said, "If you succeed, he'll get a beautiful daughter with the bloodline of the Nine Phoenixes for free?"

"There are countless men out there, you really should get a replacement."

Yun Yici's words were rough but the principle was sound, but Xue Ziyan could only smile helplessly.

For so many years, she had been used to being in a subordinate position and using her looks to please men.

Everything she has now is built on that man's generosity. What right does she have to change men?

Furthermore, even if things succeed, she still needs to consider Suiyi's future.

Suiyi could follow her father and inherit Ximing City openly, which was better than wandering the human world with her.

Yun Yici shuddered and stepped forward to pat Xue Ziyan: "You're really bewitched."

"You are you first, and only then are you Suiyi's mother."

"Your cowardice, your self-sacrifice, and your self-righteous self-sacrifice set a bad example for her."

Xue Ziyan said with a wry smile, "It's too early to talk about these things now."

Yun Yici returned to the main topic: "I know about Jiufeng's matter."

"Next, there is another very important thing, which is the so-called slave-binding curse, as well as even higher-level curses."

Yun Yici guessed that Xu Ding and his group had not found a solution.

Otherwise, the female cultivator who attacked her that day wouldn't have been both surprised and delighted when she saw her smooth nape.

Xu Ding took out his ancestor's handwritten letter and handed it to Yun Yici: "The Xue family has a special talent, which is incantation."

"It's somewhat like the power of words, but unlike the power of words, the spells they cast will turn into spell patterns that appear on the body of the person under the spell."

"The only way to break the curse is for the cursed person to die, or for the person who cast the curse to voluntarily break the curse."

Yun Yici suddenly thought of something: the Yinshan Witch Clan's expertise in witchcraft is also presented in the form of incantations.

"Wait, we might have a way."

Yun Yici took out her storage bag and rummaged through it until she found a black, spherical object.

It was the magical artifact that Rong Xuan had painstakingly developed back then, enabling him to meet and communicate with another dimension.

Later, even though she didn't need the treasure, Rong Xuan still gave it to her.

The other half of this magical artifact is currently in the Lingwei Sect.
