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

Emperor Yao, who was keeping a close eye on his son's movements, was extremely frustrated.

He was still eagerly anticipating the imperial edict to make his mark.

"What is he doing?"

"He's neither joining up with Lan'er and the others nor looking for the divine bone. Does he not plan to enter the second gate?"

Fengyin said without any mercy, "Zhao'er is a good child who values ​​loyalty and righteousness."

"He was chosen by accident, so your expectations of him are probably too high."

Although Di Yun frowned, she ultimately kept a distance and did not interfere in the couple's affairs.

As soon as Yun Yici lay flat, she noticed the movement of the Divine Stone.

Only when she saw the two dots, one red and one blue, moving steadily toward her did she get up and head in their direction.

Heading in two directions, Yun Yici deliberately avoided other dots on the map and soon met up with Di Zhaolinyu and the other person.

The emperor looked you up and down and asked, "Have you suffered any injustice?"

Yun Yici shook her head: "Everything is fine, it's just that something's wrong with my Divine Descent Stone."

She opened her hand and showed the Divine Stone, perfectly adhered to her palm, to Emperor Zhaolinyu.

The emperor grasped her hand, deeply worried: "How could this happen?"

Yun Yici: "Other things don't matter, but it's quite troublesome that I can't take it off."

Lin Yu asked, "Then what should we do now? Xiao Ci, are you going to the second door?"

"I have collected quite a few Divine Stones along the way with the Emperor's decree, enough for the three of us to enter."

Yun Yici looked at the unmoving Divine Stone in her palm: "Let's go, let's go check out the second door."

Yun Yici originally did not want to accept the stones from the Emperor's decree, but they were still forced to accept them.

Lin Yu said, "What time is it? Why are you still being so polite with us?"

“The stones we used to collect were easy to collect, but now they’re all sifted and ruthless.”

Yun Yici thought about it and realized that it would be really difficult to collect eight more Divine Stones without using her spiritual power, so she silently accepted the two people's kindness.

She lamented, "I thought I could just give up and lie low, but I never imagined I'd have to pay the price later."

The emperor smiled and looked at her, saying, "Just think of it as a trip for fun, why make yourself so tired?"

“If the stone in your hand hadn’t been so rigid, you probably would have been out long ago.”

The emperor believed he understood his beloved quite well.

The three walked and talked, their leisurely pace giving them a more relaxed air compared to the hurried passersby.

Along the way, the lone Protoss saw the trio fleeing in panic, fearing they would run out of stones and be harvested.

As they approached the second gate, they saw more and more familiar faces.

Such as the Zouwu tribe they had passed through, and the Xuan Gui tribe.

Ji Chun and Ji Yuan saw that they were still smiling and waving at them.

Ji Yuan called out loudly, "Clan Chief Lin Yu, Xiao Ci, would you like to come with us?"

Lin Yu replied loudly, "No, we'll go with Fellow Daoist Di Zhao!"

Ji Yuan's voice immediately attracted a lot of attention.

Upon hearing the commotion, Di Lan and the others quickly followed the sound and found Di Zhao and the other two.

Di Lan hurriedly said, "Cousin Di Zhao, where have you been? We've been looking for you everywhere but haven't found you."

"Here you go, there are ten Divine Stones here, take them!"

As soon as Di Lan entered, he tried to find a way to reunite with his friends.

After regrouping, the little phoenixes swept across the land.

It's just that he always missed the imperial edict.

Left with no other choice, they had to search for people while collecting divine stones.

They had worked very hard along the way, and just now they calculated that they had enough Divine Stones for everyone, with some left over to give to the Emperor.

The emperor looked at his clansmen, whose eyes were full of fervent desire.

He said, "No need, my Divine Stone is enough."

"My journey with Rin-tama was relatively smooth."

Di Lan breathed a sigh of relief and patted Di Zhao on the shoulder in a familiar manner: "That's good."

“Although you are my cousin, you are younger than me. My mother even asked me to take care of you. I don’t think you are weak at all.”

Di Lan's honest words made Di Yun outside turn pale.

Emperor Zhao knew that Emperor Lan meant no harm, so he said gently, "I understand, thank you."

Those who had already collected all the Divine Stones arrived here first, and now they were just waiting for the second Divine Gate to open.

Yun Yici roughly estimated that there were only about forty or fifty people left present.

If we calculate based on ten Divine Stones per person, the number of people entering the first gate would be approximately four or five hundred or more.

The first gate alone eliminated nine out of ten.

While they were waiting, a commotion suddenly broke out on the outside, and a "person" covered in blood rushed in.

"what!!!!!"

His face was full of pleading, and his screams startled his people in the crowd.

Yun Yici saw a tall woman rush over and help her up: "Who did this?"

But before the "person" on the ground could answer, he turned into a glimmer of light and disappeared into the woman's arms.

Lin Yu whispered, "The Divine Stone must have been stolen."

"At this point, there's nothing left to steal, so the only option is to ambush and kill those who have collected all the stones on the last stretch of road."

Rin-tama's words were tinged with a sigh.

The atmosphere suddenly became heavy.

A voice from the crowd said, "I know them. It was the Tengu clan who did it."

“Absolutely right, the wounds on his body just now look like marks left by canine teeth.”

Di Lan's usually cheerful expression turned disgusted: "My mother said that the people of that clan are the most bullying and cowardly."

"They wouldn't dare touch us."

Qingluan chimed in, "The Tengu Clan has always been so annoying."

"But this clan is something else; they didn't even wait outside until everyone was present."

Lin Yu sighed, "That's how it is for small clans. Without strong power, waiting outside will only make them another victim."

The emperor also said, "It was probably on purpose that the person was allowed to run in."

The person who ran in just now was clearly seriously injured, yet they deliberately left him alive to escape, only to have him die in front of his own people in the end. It's truly a twisted sense of humor.

A conversation helped the huddled cubs get to know each other.

A moment later, the blue phoenix girl next to him came over and said, "Hey, Di Lan, I heard your cousin has been found?"

That's what they said, but the newcomer's gaze was fixed on the imperial edict.

Of all the people in this group, only Di Zhao looks like Di Yao. Anyone with eyes can tell who the person who might be Di Yao's child is.

Di Lan said, "Chunxin, this is my cousin, whom I have summoned."

Qingluan Chunxin smiled at the imperial edict: "I am Chunxin."

"Will you be joining us after we enter the second gate?"

Phoenix has a close relationship with all the feathered clans and has always been united against a common enemy; otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to ostracize the Nine Phoenixes so badly.

The Emperor decreed, "Ask Emperor Lan. I wish to be with Lin Yu and the others."

Di Lan's eyes widened: "Cousin Di Zhao, aren't you coming with us?"

"Why don't you just let Rinyu and the other two come with us?"

The emperor decreed, “I have no great ambitions; I am merely traveling and exploring. Joining you would only be a burden.”

Di Lan asked, puzzled, "Why do you think that way? We're all brothers, and we've never felt that you're a burden."

The other little phoenixes echoed in agreement.

Just as the emperor was trying to find an excuse to sever ties with his clansmen, he heard Chunxin gasp beside him.

The conversation was interrupted, and everyone instinctively looked in the direction Chunxin was pointing.
