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

Rinyu still had one hand on the alligator's upper jaw, but she seemed to be handling it with ease.

The enormous, dangerous alligator dragon lay obediently in his hands, its eyes closed as if asleep, showing no sign of struggle.

Wu Wang said, "That's the question I should be asking you. Did you come here for this Shenwu?"

Long Yuan, ever the astute one, introduced, "This is the Nine Phoenix God."

Lin Yu showed a surprised expression: "Nine Phoenix? There has been no news of you for thousands of years after you were captured by the human race."

"When I traveled in the human realm before, I saw that the human race was in a state of filth. I never expected that I would be able to meet you here today."

Wu Wang: "No need for nonsense, this divine parasol tree belongs to the Phoenix Clan."

"Clan Chief Di Yao entrusted this item to me so that I could pass it on to his only son. It is not up to outsiders."

"If you know what's good for you, don't try to take advantage of this sacred parasol tree."

Lin Yu: "I was wondering why the divine parasol tree suddenly grew out of nowhere underwater. It turns out it's because of Senior Jiu Feng."

“But I need Shenwu as a catalyst. We can discuss the terms. Perhaps I have something that Senior Jiufeng would be interested in.”

Lin Yu's lack of tact immediately made Jiu Feng's face darken.

"You junior are truly rude. I've already said all I need to say; do you still intend to take it by force?"

The situation took a sharp turn for the worse, and the several alligator dragon demon cultivators, still immersed in their joy, looked on in a dilemma between the two sides.

The snake-man hiding in the corner curled up even tighter.

Seeing that Jiu Feng was angry, Lin Yu calmly said, "Senior Jiu Feng, may I finish speaking?"

“I did not uproot the entire Shenwu tree, but rather took a single branch.”

"You're not losing out in this deal."

Without delusion or intention, he directly refused: "Shenwu is not my personal property, I cannot agree to your request."

Rinyu frowned, finally finding the key.

"Does Senior Jiufeng mean that this Divine Wutong belongs to the son of Emperor Yao? Then may I ask where this senior is?"

The group exchanged glances, and Yun Yici asked, "You have to tell us first what you need the Divine Wutong Branch for?"

Lin Yu twitched the corner of her mouth: "This is a matter within my clan, and I cannot disclose it to you."

As he spoke, the alligator under his command slowly awoke, its eyes revealing gratitude.

However, Rin's answer was that there was no room for negotiation.

They were not familiar with each other. Lin Yu ran over to try to negotiate for the Divine Wutong Branch, but Wu Wang was certain that the Divine Wutong Branch belonged to the Emperor and no one could touch it.

After a brief stalemate, Longyuan and several alligator dragons were caught in the middle, unsure of what to do.

If it were a demon race, who were their equals, they could mediate.

But now that both sides come from distinguished backgrounds, they should at least pray they don't become innocent bystanders caught in the crossfire.

In the end, it was Rinyu who bowed down and gave in first.

He said, "I can tell you what I need the Divine Wutong Branch for, provided that I can see the Phoenix Child."

"Moreover, this matter is of great importance, and only he can know about it."

Wu Wang thought for a moment, then suddenly realized: "You came from the Endless Sea, you wouldn't happen to be from the Divine Turtle Clan, would you?"

Lin Yu thought Wu Wang had already recognized him, but he didn't expect Wu Wang to ask this question.

He said, "That's right, I am the patriarch of the Shen'ao clan."

After confirming Lin Yu's identity, Wu Wang sighed and said, "Come with me."

Yun Yici and the others were curious as to why Wu Wang's attitude had changed so quickly.

She quietly pointed to the top of her head at Zhujian, wondering if this so-called Divine Turtle Clan was a sinful clan that had been banished from the God Realm like Jiufeng.

Zhu Jian immediately understood what she meant, but shook his head to indicate that it was not.

Seeing that both sides were preparing for peace talks, Longyuan wisely took his leave.

Several alligator dragon demon cultivators were also busy taking care of Cuihua and the eggs she had laid, and planned to stay on the shore.

So, filled with doubt, the group, along with Rin-yu and the snake-man, returned to the Divine Wu Space from the treetop.

On the way, Wu Wang began to explain the origins of the Shen'ao clan.

"Although the divine realm is composed of many gods, it is governed by four deities, which is why they can live in peace."

"Our Feather Clan's deity is the Vermilion Bird God, and the Divine Turtle Clan was originally under the command of the Black Tortoise God."

"I don't know why, but when I was still in the God Realm, I heard that the Divine Turtle Clan voluntarily gave up their divine status and asked the Xuanwu God to let the clan return to the mortal realm."

So that's how it is. Jiufeng committed a serious crime and was punished by being sent down to the mortal realm, while the entire Shen'ao clan migrated to the mortal realm.

Lin Yu didn't intend to explain, but only said, "Senior Jiu Feng highly regards these cultivators."

The implication is that Wu Wang has exposed his entire past to Yun Yici and the others.

Wu Wang showed him no mercy: "They saved my life, what else can't I say?"

"Once you're in the lower realm, it's wishful thinking to think of yourself as some kind of god."

"The demon race fears us because of the suppression of bloodlines, but the human race may not necessarily be so."

Even more so, blasphemers.

Even the sons and grandsons of dragons and phoenixes are not enough for them to skin and drink blood.

Unexpected experiences serve as a warning.

Lin Yu tentatively asked, "Speaking of which, may I ask why Senior Jiu Feng was banished to the mortal realm? And what about this young friend from the Phoenix Clan?"

Wu Wang had previously unified the Huangling Domain and had heard of the Shen'ao Clan, who lived in seclusion in a remote corner.

However, neither side knew why the other had descended to the lower realm, so they tacitly maintained a policy of keeping to themselves.

The shore belongs to Wuwang, and the endless sea belongs to the divine turtle.

The two sides rarely interact.

The Divine Turtle Clan lives in the deep sea and is kept in seclusion.

They descended to the mortal realm before Jiufeng, but they had no ambition and lived discreetly in the sea, with few people knowing of their existence.

Back then, when the Nine Phoenixes fought a great war against the human race, the Divine Turtle Clan learned about the events from the demon cultivators who had fled to the sea.

However, they believed that Jiufeng was already dead and they had no relationship with her, so there was no need to go to war with the human race for the sake of the dead Jiufeng.

Because of Jiufeng's experiences, the Linyu clan has become increasingly low-key in recent years. Apart from the aquatic demon clan, even some demon cultivators are unaware of their existence.

Wu Wang also knew the principle of "when people leave, tea cools," and he frankly said, "I was confused back then and lost the phoenix egg, so I went down to the mortal world to atone for my sins."

Rin-gyoku's narrow eyes widened slightly, as if he wanted to speak but hesitated: "Senior, you..."

Wu Wang did not intend to elaborate on the deeper aspects.

If you're not close enough, there's no need to speak too deeply with someone you don't know well.

As the group continued walking, they stumbled upon a field of medicinal herbs.

The snake-man knew exactly how many herbs were in the herb field, and seeing the field that had been plundered made him feel a pang of heartache.

This feeling of heartache inevitably surfaced.

His tail moved slowly, and he couldn't help but look towards the medicinal herb field.

However, he was afraid of being caught off guard, so he turned his head slightly to one side and then quickly turned it back, looking extremely awkward.

Wu Wang saw through the snake-man's thoughts at a glance and said directly, "Your snake beast probably doesn't even have a name."

"Back then, I forgot you in the space-time rift, but you also ate many of my precious fruits, so let's call it even."

"As for how these divine herbs can grow, you have certainly worked hard, but they cannot grow without my five-colored soil, nor without the Divine Wutong Space."

"You can't hold this place."

"How about I find you a Transformation Grass, and you acknowledge Emperor Zhao as your master and continue to stay here to take care of these divine herbs?"

"In return, I will discuss with my friend Di Zhao and grant you permission to use these divine herbs in moderation."

These words should not have been said in front of Rin-tama, an outsider.

However, Wuwang was worried that Linyu might make some request again, so he simply allocated the medicinal fields to the Emperor.

After all, this space was created by the Emperor's decree.

Upon hearing this, Rinyu looked over in surprise.

First, it is unfounded to say that these divine herbs were planted by this snake-beast.

Secondly, this Nine Phoenix God was more magnanimous than he had imagined.

If we were in each other's shoes, what would be wrong with killing this weak snake beast?

According to Mu Yunjian's account, the snake-man, who thought he had lost everything, immediately became happy.

His tail started spinning unconsciously, with the tip of it pointing towards the medicinal herb field.

Wu Wang: "Go."

As soon as he finished speaking, the snake-man excitedly slid into the medicinal field.

Lin Yu said, "Senior Jiu Feng is kind-hearted, how could she lose the phoenix egg?"

This is really a pot that cannot be opened.

Yun Yici noticed that although Lin Yu was somewhat surprised when he passed by the medicinal field, he did not show the excitement he had when he first saw these divine herbs.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Even though Wu Wang was punished and sent to the mortal realm for his sins, he still brought many treasures with him. The entire Shen'ao clan probably brought even more when they migrated.

Therefore, it is highly likely that Rinyu has seen these divine herbs.

Wu Wang, whose wounds had been reopened, was too lazy to pay him any attention.

As the group continued forward, Yun Yici spotted the red figure sitting cross-legged by the spring from afar.

Upon hearing the commotion, the emperor quickly stood up and turned to greet them: "Where have you been?"

He had just woken up and opened his eyes to a vast expanse of white, both above and below.

Everyone, including the Sun and Moon Shuttle that was parked nearby, had disappeared without a trace.

The emperor, unaware of what had happened, felt a sense of abandonment and resentment, and immediately climbed out of the spring.

He dried his damp robes and was preparing to go out to look for someone.

Lin Yu recognized Di Zhao's identity at a glance: "This is the son of the Phoenix Clan Chief."

“Imperial decree, fellow Daoist, my name is Lin Yu, and I am the patriarch of the Divine Turtle Clan.”

"I have come here to discuss something with you."

The emperor had absolutely no recollection of this so-called Divine Turtle Clan.

Xie Qianjue released the Sun and Moon Shuttle at the right time and stationed it by the spring: "If Senior Emperor is not in any serious danger, why don't you go up and talk?"

The emperor had his doubts, but seeing that no one objected, he still followed them onto the Sun and Moon Shuttle.
