Rabbit Must Die-Chapter 626 - 225 Escape of Yi_1

The sixth elder stepped forward and said, "That is because of the command of our ancestors! Once the one who fled overturns the Heavenly Court, we shall emerge from seclusion!"

Zhao Yuhuang let out three loud laughs, then said, "Wait? Always wait? Back in the day, the sixth elder alone, with a spear in hand, swept across a hundred thousand mountains, forging a bloody path and earning the title of Blood Phoenix, a name that resounded mightily! You were once a hero who dared challenge Heaven itself, but now you have become a coward who dares not step outside, a waste. Do you intend to have the hot blood of our Phoenix Clan’s youth also wait until it turns to waste?"

Upon hearing this, the sixth elder trembled all over, his lips tightly pressed together, and it was unclear whether he was trembling with anger or if something had touched a nerve - in the end, he remained silent.

Zhao Yuhuang continued, "What the Phoenix Clan lacks has never been the so-called one who fled, but courage! The courage you all had in that battle was beaten out of you, leaving nothing but timidity! In my view, if the fleeing one spoken of by the ancestors truly exists, then it must be courage! We of the Phoenix Clan fear nothing, and our bloodline absolutely refuses to continue on in this disgrace, akin to chickens cowered in their coop!"

"Enough!" the tenth elder stepped forward and said, "Zhao Yuhuang, you are indeed a rare, unparalleled talent that our Phoenix Nest has not seen in ten million years, but how do you compare to Ying Gao from those days? He led our people out, but what became of him? Is he not now a dog serving at the heels of the Heavenly Court?"

Zhao Yuhuang said proudly, "Had I lived during the same era as he, I could have slain him with one hand!"

The tenth elder laughed upon hearing this: "Arrogant, ignorant!"

Zhao Yuhuang replied, "I have cultivated for merely three thousand years, and I have already become a Heavenly Immortal!"

"What?" The tenth elder’s face changed at these words, disbelief written all over his features.

The others in the room were astounded, their gazes upon Zhao Yuhuang filled with sheer shock.

The great elder took a step forward, slapped Zhao Yuhuang’s shoulder, and then his eyes shone brightly. His previously solemn face turned red with excitement as he exclaimed, "It’s true! Zhao Yuhuang has truly stepped into the ranks of Heavenly Immortals!"

"A genius! An absolute genius! Ying Gao took ten thousand years to enter the realm of Heavenly Immortals, but Zhao Yuhuang has done it in just three thousand years, surpassing Ying Gao’s legendary talent!"

"This isn’t just talent, it’s demonic! Ha ha..." the third elder laughed wildly.

The onlookers’ eyes on Zhao Yuhuang turned even more fervent, especially the older generation, as if they saw the hope of the Phoenix Clan’s rise!

Of course, the younger generation didn’t think so. Without comparison, there’s no harm, but with such comparison, they felt a desire to die.

The great elder said to the ancestor, "Reporting to the ancestor, with Zhao Yuhuang’s talent, I believe he should be granted the feather of phoenix to aid him further towards a higher ascension!"

The second elder also said, "Ancestor, the young are the future hope of the Phoenix Clan, please bestow upon him the feather of phoenix!"

Upon hearing the words "feather of phoenix," everyone present was startled.

"The feather of phoenix? It’s said to be a feather from the second ancestor of the Phoenix Clan, stained with the ancestor’s blood. If one can refine it into their body, it can greatly purify their bloodline. If one could then undergo rebirth, it would be tantamount to the second ancestor being reborn!" someone exclaimed in amazement.

"My heavens, if this is true, he will not only be the Saint Heir but... the ancestor!"

Thinking this, everyone’s gaze turned to the woman sitting at the highest place, who nodded slightly and said, "The feather of phoenix can certainly be given to the Saint Heir, but a flower that has grown in a greenhouse is ultimately too delicate."

At these words, everyone’s gaze turned to Zhao Yufan.

Zhao Yuhuang stepped forward and said, "Ancestor, I am willing to accept any challenge!"

The woman nodded and said, "Extinguish the Ying Family, and the feather of phoenix will be yours."

"What?!" Everyone exclaimed in shock.

"Ying Gao? Isn’t he the Clan Leader of the Ying Family, a branch of our Phoenix Clan? I heard that he once led his clan out of the Phoenix Nest..."

"Shh—don’t speak of him, he is a forbidden topic."

"Forbidden? Why?"

"Leading an exodus from the Phoenix Nest, betraying the Phoenix Clan, and siding with the Heavenly Court—any one of these counts as a heinous crime. What’s more, he committed them all?"

"Hiss!—Led an exodus from the Phoenix Nest? Could it be that his strength has already..."

The sixth elder stepped forward and said, "Ying Gao was a genius from the very beginning. He stepped into the realm of the Great Golden Immortal long ago, and now his strength is unfathomable. Although the Saint Heir is a prodigy, his time spent in cultivation is too short, and the gap in strength is too large... this mission is simply impossible."

Everyone was surprised to hear the sixth elder, who had opposed Zhao Yufan just a moment ago, now speaking up for him.

Zhao Yuhuang, too, had a furrowed brow. Clearly, although he was proud, he was not foolish; agreeing to an impossible task was pointless.

They heard the woman say indifferently, "I don’t mean to trouble you, but the feather of phoenix isn’t something just any strength can absorb. How terrifying is the power of the Ancestral Phoenix? Without the strength of a Great Golden Immortal, one who touches it dies!"

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent. They had been too excited just now and had forgotten about this matter.

The woman then continued, "Zhao Yuhuang, you have good talent and may step into the realm of the Great Golden Immortal in this lifetime. However, you won’t need to reach the Great Golden Immortal realm to kill Ying Gao."

Zhao Yuhuang was stunned and bowed to show respect, "Please enlighten me, Ancestor."

Just then, a loud boom sounded, followed by the trembling of Heaven and Earth!

All the Phoenixes looked towards the sky in panic, with even someone shouting about an enemy attack...

However, the normally calm woman laughed—an exceedingly joyful laugh. She slowly stood up, her purple Phoenix robe billowing without any wind, spread her arms, and laughed wildly, "It’s done! It’s done! Ahahaha..."

The woman’s manic laughter left everyone baffled.

Then, the woman suddenly turned around, looked at Zhao Yuhuang, and said, "To kill Ying Gao, you now have an opportunity. In three days, Tai Mountain will host the earth-shattering conference. You shall represent the Phoenix Nest. As for how to kill Ying Gao, you will naturally understand when the time comes!"

For the first time, Zhao Yuhuang saw the always tranquil and composed Ancestor burst forth with such a fervor, while his heart trembled at the woman’s recent words. An earth-shattering conference? The very name filled him with a boiling fervor! He knew his era had arrived!

Zhao Yuhuang said, "Yes, Ancestor!"

The woman then turned to the sixth elder, "Sixth elder, Zhao Yufan might not have a peaceful journey; you shall accompany him."

Upon hearing this, the sixth elder’s eyes flashed with a sharp light. The previously old and feeble demeanor vanished, replaced by an air of confidence as he stepped forward and said, "Yes!"

The great elder and others were confused, so they stepped forward and asked, "Ancestor, what exactly happened that has made you so happy? And what is this earth-shattering conference?"

The woman waved her sleeve with a hearty laugh and said, "The disappeared Yi has been accomplished! You tell me, should I not be joyful? Now that Yi is in place, what is turning the sky?"
