Chapter 734: Chapter 394: I’ve Never Seen Anyone So Shameless
"Are you really Senior Zhu Yinrong?"
The Celestial Phoenix Maiden transformed back into human form and stared intently at the Black Phoenix, who had also resumed human form. A moment later, her expression changed.
On Celestial Phoenix Mountain, there are portraits of past Celestial Phoenix Maidens, and this Black Phoenix looks exactly like Zhu Yinrong!
The Black Phoenix said coldly, "Since you know it’s me, why are you not paying your respects yet?"
The Celestial Phoenix Maiden trembled, hesitated for a long time, and finally began to bend her knees slightly, about to kneel.
The rule at Celestial Phoenix Mountain is that upon seeing a former Celestial Phoenix Maiden, one must perform the grand ritual of kneeling.
"You said Little Huang is someone else’s steed, aren’t you as well?"
From the side came Liu Su’s mocking voice, causing the Celestial Phoenix Maiden to pause in her kneeling action, and the Black Phoenix looked coldly at Liu Su:
"This is a matter of Celestial Phoenix Mountain. As an outside junior, what right do you have to speak?"
Liu Su laughed loudly, "Little Huang is my brother-in-law’s maid, she’s family to us. Her business is my business, why shouldn’t I interfere?"
"Besides, the statue of you being ridden by someone is still displayed in the Divine Temple of Celestial Phoenix Mountain. What right do you have to speak about Little Huang?"
"Sharp-tongued!" The Black Phoenix’s face turned cold as she raised her hand swiftly, and a burst of black flames shot towards Liu Su!
The Mist Spirit Eye on Liu Su’s forehead opened, creating a black hole in space.
However, the black flames only paused for a moment before breaking free from the black hole’s pull and flew straight towards Liu Su!
Liu Su’s face changed dramatically, seeing that there was no escape, a golden flame shot out obliquely, blocking the black flames.
The Black Phoenix looked at the Celestial Phoenix Maiden, her gaze fierce, "Are you going to help outsiders against a senior of Celestial Phoenix Mountain? Are you planning to betray the Phoenix Race?!"
"I, I..."
The Celestial Phoenix Maiden’s face turned pale, unable to respond.
"Hey, hey, stop brainwashing!"
Liu Su sneered, "If anyone’s betrayed Celestial Phoenix Mountain, it’s you. When you successfully transformed into the Divine Phoenix, you should have led Celestial Phoenix Mountain to greatness and glory, but what did you do?"
"You ran off with a wild man, abandoning the tribesmen who trusted and admired you, leaving the Phoenix Race trapped in the South Demon region for years, even being branded as the Demon Sect."
"Now you’re living freely, not only serving as a steed but also being ridden in bed and having children with that wild man."
"You’ve lived shamelessly and joyfully, but paid no heed to your tribesmen’s hardships over the years. Now that Little Huang finally has a chance to transform into the Divine Phoenix, you’re putting on airs before them."
"How can you be so shameless?!"
"I’ve never seen anyone as shameless as you!"
Liu Su’s tirade left the Black Phoenix stunned in silence.
The Celestial Phoenix Maiden also stared at Liu Su, seemingly reminded of the struggles she and her sister Zhu Lin faced leading the Phoenix Race over the years, and her eyes reddened.
"Susu sister..."
"Susu sister is unmatched in her eloquence!"
From the side, Zhou Ling’Er poked her head out and shouted, seeing all three turn to look at her, she quickly crouched down and covered her mouth.
"Arrogant junior! Courting death!"
The Black Phoenix’s face alternated between pale and furious, as she angrily made her move.
A massive blaze of Black Phoenix Flame erupted from her body, sweeping towards Liu Su.
"Help me, Little Huang!"
Liu Su screamed, and a golden flame also erupted from the Celestial Phoenix Maiden, colliding with the Black Phoenix, resounding with a loud explosion.
Instantly, the ground shook, and the surrounding woods turned to ash in a flash.
Hiding nearby, Zhou Ling’Er scattered a pile of Talisman Papers from her Storage Bag, forming several Defense Arrays that protected her within.
Seeing the terrifying scene of the surrounding mountains and forests turning to black ash, Zhou Ling’Er’s face went pale, as she pulled out a stack of escape artifacts—the Thousand-Mile Talismans—from her Storage Bag.
A rough count showed at least twenty to thirty pieces.
Zhou Ling’Er lay behind the charred hillside, watching the three on the cliff ahead, murmuring:
"Susu sister, Little Huang, hold on."
"Audacious junior, do you really intend to defy a senior?!" The Black Phoenix was furious, reprimanding as the Celestial Phoenix Maiden blocked her again.
The Celestial Phoenix Maiden’s face was somewhat pale, but her voice was firmer than before:
"Susu is right, from the moment you left Celestial Phoenix Mountain with that fated man, you already abandoned the Phoenix Race, and never returned even once all these years."
"Clearly, we juniors hold no value in your heart!"
"Since you’ve abandoned us, why should we honor you as a senior?"
"Moreover..."
The Celestial Phoenix Maiden looked at the Black Phoenix, her voice growing cold:
"You are not Senior Zhu Yinrong at all!"
"You’re not even using the real Divine Phoenix Flame, the Divine Phoenix blood in you has mutated!"
"Who are you really?!"
The Black Phoenix paused, then suddenly laughed, "Zhu Yinrong, your junior is quite impressive, detecting me."
She looked at the Celestial Phoenix Maiden, "Let me tell you, Zhu Yinrong once madly loved my husband but regretted midway and wanted to return to Celestial Phoenix Mountain. My husband, of course, did not allow it, and she was too fierce, self-immolating with the Divine Phoenix Flame."
"Yet even in death, I am here, I can continue to serve my husband, bearing children for him!"
"When my husband ascends and becomes a Daoist in the Upper Realm, I will be the Mother of the Immortal Realm!"
"Zhu Yinrong was too foolish, even the Ancient Divine Phoenix, serving my husband should be her honor!"
"Is Senior Yinrong really dead?" the Celestial Phoenix Maiden’s face turned pale, her beautiful eyes burning red.
"Bah!" Liu Su spat fiercely, looking at the Black Phoenix with contempt:
"It’s the first time I’ve seen someone licking boots this madly. There’s a screw loose in your head, right? You think you can be the Mother of the Upper Realm with your ridiculous stance? You’d be better suited as the Mother of Bootlickers!"
The Black Phoenix’s face was livid, black flames surging from her body, staring coldly at Liu Su:
"Daring to hurt my daughter, today I will grind your bones to dust!"
She then looked at the Celestial Phoenix Maiden: "The Phoenix Race should not exist anymore. After I kill you, I will destroy Celestial Phoenix Mountain as well!"
"You, you dare?!"
The Celestial Phoenix Maiden was trembling with anger and started to fight back.
A golden flame surged towards the Black Phoenix, who sneered, raising her hand contemptuously, as the Black Phoenix Flame devoured the golden flame.
Liu Su’s eyes darted as the Mist Spirit Eye emitted a blue light, creating a spatial black hole that sucked in the Celestial Phoenix Maiden’s golden flame.
Then another black hole appeared behind the Black Phoenix, from which the golden flame burst out, attacking the Black Phoenix’s back.
The Black Phoenix was caught off guard and was instantly engulfed by the golden flame.
"Wow! Susu sister is so clever! Now there’s no need to run!"
Zhou Ling’Er was overjoyed from afar, but her smile froze in the next moment.
The golden flame was dispersed by a surge of black flames, and the Black Phoenix emerged, shrouded completely in the ink-like Black Phoenix Flame, unscathed.
"Such little cleverness is useless against absolute power."
She coldly looked at Liu Su and the Celestial Phoenix Maiden, "Today, you will all die here."
