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

After leaving the oppressive environment of the Zouwu tribe, the little Zouwu's mood improved considerably.

He wanted to get down and run, but Ruoshu forcefully held him in her arms, so he could only look around.

Liao Jin transformed back into a giant tiger to provide transportation for the mother and child.

He also invited the emperor and his entourage to come up.

But after thinking it over, the emperor still summoned the folding fan-shaped flying artifact.

Everyone was used to sitting there.

Even flying at full speed, it could barely keep up with the running Zouwu.

It's so comfortable following Liao Jin.

Liao Jin always took the main roads and swaggered through the territories of other gods, and no one dared to stop her.

The group followed Liao Jin and ran wildly.

Yun Yici calculated the time, and they would stop to rest for a while after about twelve hours.

Then we continued on our journey.

They traveled for thirty-six hours in this way, which, when converted to the time in the lower realm, is exactly three days and three nights.

Liao Jin suddenly stopped and said, "Be careful, we need to get to the Vermilion Bird's territory soon."

Everyone looked at him in confusion, then Liao Jin said, "Those madmen, Jiu Feng, are at the border between the Vermilion Bird and the White Tiger."

That's for sure, given the evil deeds I committed back then.

The Feathered Clan were all on edge, fearing that one day those crazy Nine-Phoenixes might have a change of heart and steal their eggs too!

Jiufeng is so crazy that she even dares to steal the Phoenix Clan Chief's egg!

Who among them dares to say that their own offspring are more precious than the phoenix clan chief's egg?

Unlike the beast race, they are born as furry cubs.

Their eggs must be bathed in divine light.

—In Yun Yici’s view, this so-called divine bath is actually adjusting the temperature to be the most comfortable and suitable for incubating eggs.

If the conditions don't match, the egg won't hatch.

According to the imperial edict that he was cast down to the mortal realm, he was born much later than he should have been.

Due to the prejudice and exclusion of the Feather Clan, the Nine Phoenix Clan gradually became marginalized in the Vermilion Bird camp, and unconsciously became closer to other camps.

If they didn't need to incubate the eggs, they probably would have switched to the white tiger long ago.

Liao Jin said, "The Nine Phoenixes and the Phoenix Clan are mortal enemies. Especially since you, young friend Di Zhao, have a special identity, it would be best if you could find a way to conceal your scent."

Yes, there are.

Yun Yici also distributed the pills she obtained from the system to the Emperor.

They hadn't taken the imperial decree, and taking it now in front of Liao Jin would likely expose Yun Yici and the others' identities.

Furthermore, he hasn't done anything wrong, so why should he hide his identity?

The Emperor decreed, "It's nothing. The grudges between me and the Nine Phoenix Clan should be settled."

Wu Wang originally hoped that he could return unharmed, so that their Nine Phoenix Clan could have an easier time.

But he returned quite late.

It's easy to imagine that even if the Nine Phoenix Clan felt a little guilty towards him and his parents, it would have turned into resentment after so many years of unequal treatment.

Moreover, the Nine Phoenixes are a single entity with nine souls, and good and evil are dominated by the good soul and the evil soul.

It would be difficult for a kind soul to maintain pure goodwill when treated like this.

The emperor decreed that he did not believe in any innocent, pure-hearted girls.

Even if Wu Wang is a benevolent soul, the kindness shown to him, besides compensation, is mostly out of the hope that he can return to change the fate of his people and make amends for his mistakes.

However, the deep-seated animosity between the two races could not be repaired simply by his return.

Everyone entered Jiufeng's territory with extreme caution.

On the map Ji Ying provided, Jiu Feng's territory was indeed a very small circle.

The area was covered in dense forest, and there was no sign of Jiufeng when we first entered.

Liao Jin said, "Actually, the Nine Phoenix Clan looks like it has a lot of people, just because they can transform into many human forms."

"You need to be careful. The man who appeared one second ago and the woman who appeared the next second might be the same Nine-Phoenix."

The crowd remained silent; they had witnessed the madness of the other evil spirits' heads.

Liao Jin added, "There's no need to worry about encountering benevolent spirits, but it's the evil spirits that are the real concern."

A giant white tiger led the way for the crowd, and everyone was tacitly surrounded in the middle.

They hoped to use this to cover up the aura of an imperial edict.

Little did they know that as soon as they ventured deeper into the territory of Jiufeng, countless cold, sinister eyes seemed to be watching them from the shadows.

"Phoenix, what brings you to our territory?"

Suddenly, countless voices rang out from all directions.

The voices were male and female, young and old, all asking the same question at the same time, yet the resentment in their tones was identical.

The emperor decreed: "May I pass through?"

"I am the egg that was carelessly lost back then, won't you come out and see me?"

The emperor revealed his identity, turned around, and looked up at the sky peeking through the dense forest.

The voice suddenly stopped.

Liao Jin put Ruo Shu down from his body, and a magnificent, pure white giant axe appeared in his hand, gleaming with light.

Ruoshu held the little Zouwu tightly.

Rin-tama, Shu-ken, and the others also drew their swords.

Yun Yici and the others gripped the talismans tightly.

Fortunately, although the Nine Phoenixes have nine souls, they can only manifest one incarnation at a time.

If all nine souls can appear simultaneously to launch an attack, it will be difficult to deal with.

Yun Yici warned, "Don't forget their terrifying spatial abilities; be careful they don't scatter us."

The Nine Phoenixes' extraordinary abilities lie in their ability to travel between the divine realm and the lower realm.

Although it was later banned.

However, it's estimated that creating a spatial division within their own territory to separate them and then defeat them one by one should still be no problem.

After a long silence, Jiufeng suddenly burst into a strange laugh.

"The incident back then was a grave mistake made by our clan chief, but he paid the price with his life."

"You are still alive now, and not only is my clan chief dead, but my clan has also suffered so much humiliation for so many years, all because of your parents!"

The emperor raised an eyebrow and said, "What do you intend to do? You have suffered humiliation for many years, and my parents have also been tormented for many years. Do you expect my parents to apologize to you?"

"You're not planning to kill me, are you? Look, my whereabouts have already been known far and wide."

"You've fallen into such a state just because you lost me back then."

"If you dare to kill me today, won't your entire clan be slaughtered?"

"You're asking for death!" A roar caused the entire forest to tremble.

The emperor sneered, and with a flick of his fiery red whip, he severed countless thick-rooted trees in the forest.

Sparks ignited countless bushes and branches, and cries of surprise echoed through the forest from the Nine Phoenixes.

The emperor took out the villain's happy ball given to him by Yun Yici from his sleeve and threw out the cowardly Wu Wang inside.

“Hey, your clan leader.”
