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

The light spread in from the finish line.

Everyone squinted, watching Di Yao's figure gradually disappear into the blinding light.

But in the next instant, Di Yao's red robes were engulfed by another ball of scorching flames!

A wave of heat hit them, and Fengyin pulled Dizhao behind her, shielding them from the terrifying heat.

Liao Jin followed behind, carrying her infant son. Upon seeing this, she was so frightened that she hid the child behind her back.

This fire is clearly phoenix fire. Liao An hasn't even taken human form yet, and if it touches her skin or flesh, it will burn to ashes.

Liao Jin looked around for a while and saw that the fiery red in front of him was once again shrouded in light. He asked with concern, "Lord Fengyin, is Lord Diyao alright?"

Feng Yin's black hair fluttered in the wind as she coldly said, "I won't die."

Emperor Yao was attacked as soon as he stepped out of the passage.

He slapped away the attacking phoenix fire and saw that the person who attacked him was Di Lan.

Di Lan and a group of phoenix cubs lay in ambush nearby, clearly prepared for an ambush.

Di Yao's face darkened: "What are you doing here?"

"Where is the Grand Elder?"

Di Lan was startled: "We noticed that the space here suddenly distorted, so we came to investigate."

"I didn't expect to see an open space tunnel. I thought some Nine Phoenixes had secretly sneaked into our territory!"

Emperor Yao solemnly reprimanded, "You can't just kill someone without knowing the facts. What if it wasn't Jiu Feng who came out?"

"Furthermore, you are young and have no elders by your side. What if you offend a powerful foreign race without thinking?"

Di Lan said sullenly, "Others pass through openly and honestly, but this tunnel clearly belongs to the Nine Phoenix Clan."

"Nine Phoenixes are full of wicked schemes. If they dare to trespass, we'll roast them like chickens!"

Emperor Yao slapped him angrily: "You act so recklessly. Even if it were Jiu Feng, you shouldn't have attacked her without asking why."

"When we get back, I'll have your mother teach you a lesson."

Emperor Yao was also relieved, because Ying Qing probably guessed that opening a tunnel for Emperor Zhao and the others would only backfire, so she simply didn't get involved.

Di Lan shuddered at the sight of his own mother and quickly changed the subject, trying to appease her: "Uncle, how did you crawl out of here?"

The Phoenix Clan and the Nine Phoenixes are sworn enemies. For Emperor Yao to walk the path cleared by the Nine Phoenixes is like a red rain falling from the sky.

Just then, behind Emperor Yao, Feng Yin emerged from the tunnel, followed by the Emperor's decree...

The cubs were stunned, and Di Lan was so shocked he couldn't close his mouth.

Yun Yici and the others also saw that in front of them was a group of rare beauties in red, and their eyes widened as they stared at them in shock.

"Uncle, what is this...?"

Di Lan looked at Di Zhao, who was of similar height and appearance to Di Yao, with surprise and uncertainty.

Fengyin's closeness and attachment to the emperor's decree made him guess something, but he dared not say it outright.

Emperor Yao sighed softly and introduced, "This is your cousin, Emperor Zhao. Your aunt and I just went to pick him up."

"This is the chieftain of the Zouwu clan and his wife, and these are the distinguished guests of the Shen'ao clan."

“Zhao’er, this is your aunt’s son, your cousin Di Lan, and these are the children from the clan.”

Di Lan and his group of friends greeted the emperor and curiously examined Di Zhao, who resembled Di Yao.

Di Zhao possesses the best qualities of both Di Yao and Feng Yin, with an extremely beautiful and voluptuous appearance, and her handsome and outstanding appearance is very similar to that of Di Yao.

The younger generation of the Phoenix Clan immediately took a liking to the new little phoenix.

"Is this my cousin, Emperor Zhao?" Emperor Lan asked curiously.

Emperor Yao politely accepted the imperial edict, but felt a pang of pain in his heart.

If the Emperor had stayed properly with the couple, he would have been born at least a thousand years earlier, instead of being only a few hundred years old now, not much older than Emperor Lan.

Di Lan was still innocent, but Di Zhao had lost his childishness and had grown into a mature and independent man.

Di Yao forced a smile, wanting to turn back and put his arm around his son's shoulder but afraid that his son wouldn't be used to his closeness: "Let's go back first."

The group led Di Lan and his cubs back to the Divine Phoenix Forest, where the Phoenix Clan lived.

The only divine tree that Yun Yici and his companions had ever seen underwater, a tree so rare in the world, was now here with its leaves fluttering and the surrounding area a bright golden-red.

From afar, everyone could see the Phoenix Terrace that reached straight into the clouds in the Divine Wutong Forest.

But before they could get close, a handsome young man in red appeared from the shadows.

He bowed respectfully: "Clan Chief, Madam Fengyin, Young Clan Chief."

Just as everyone was speculating about the young man's identity, Di Yao introduced him to the crowd, saying, "This is Feng Heng, the Great Elder of my clan."

After he finished speaking, he said to Feng Heng, "Aheng, call Ayun back. This is a crucial time. Don't let these children run around."

The young man bowed his head and agreed.

After Emperor Yao finished speaking, he added, "You know Liao Jin and her family. Lin Yu and her family are from the Divine Turtle Clan. They have been in the mortal realm for a long time and are the benefactors who brought Zhao'er back. Please do not treat them poorly."

Feng Jin smiled and replied, "Of course, please follow me, distinguished guests."

The emperor instinctively wanted to follow the crowd and go with Feng Jin.

Fengyin grabbed him and whispered helplessly, "Zhao'er, don't go."

The sudden physical contact made Di Zhao turn around somewhat bewildered.

Fengyin didn't speak to him the whole way.

Her attitude made him uneasy.

He kept wondering if she disliked him.

But now it seems that's not the case.

Yun Yici smiled and smoothed things over, saying, "I guess I'm just used to it."

“Fellow Daoist Di Zhao has not seen his parents for a long time, and must have a lot to say. We will go with Elder Feng Heng first, and you can come to us anytime you need us later.”

Emperor Yao said gratefully, "That's right, Ah Heng, please arrange for our distinguished guests to be closer to us."

Phoenix's territory is located in a forest of divine parasol trees, and the central platform was also built by the divine parasol trees.

Feng Heng originally planned to take everyone to the guest house set up in the territory, but with Di Yao's instructions, he simply settled everyone on Phoenix Terrace as well.

Upon arriving at his residence, Feng Heng said, "The younger generation in my clan still needs to be looked after, so I won't stay here any longer."

As everyone could see, Di Lan's juniors were still waiting outside.

Lin Yuming was still the clan leader on the surface, but upon hearing this, he quickly said, "Elder Feng Heng has important matters to attend to, so please go ahead. We will rest here and will contact you if needed."

As soon as Feng Heng left, Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief: "We've finally arrived at Phoenix Territory, having walked all the way from Xuan Gui's place."

Everyone relaxed a bit.

They were rushing on their way before, and time was tight. Now that they've arrived in Phoenix Territory, as long as they keep a low profile, they can return once the Land of Divine Favor closes.

Moreover, during the battle of the gods, they could also take the opportunity to consult Liao Jin and see if they could exchange more resources from the lower realm for resources from the divine realm.

Zhu Jian asked in bewilderment, "Speaking of which, why is Goddess Fengyin so indifferent to the imperial edict?"

“Look how Ruoshu treats Liao'an like a precious treasure, yet the Goddess Fengyin doesn’t say a single word to the Emperor.”

Yun Yici sighed, "Clan Chief Ji Ying once said that Goddess Fengyin has a strong personality."

"She's just putting on a brave face."

With everyone present, someone as strong as Feng Yin wouldn't reveal the slightest weakness in front of outsiders.
