267: Phoenix: Please bless me, ancestors!

Above Danxue Mountain, three figures stood in the air, their Aura suppressing all directions.

The arrival of Gu Fei, Zi Yan, and Caier plunged the entire Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan into a state of panic. The clan members were terrified and uneasy, unsure how to deal with this sudden crisis.

Inside a magnificent palace in the center of the clan territory, three figures were discussing countermeasures with grave expressions.

"Big Sister, now that the Clan Chief is dead, and Gu Fei, along with the Void Ancient Dragon and the Nine-Colored Sky Swallowing Python, are attacking, what should we do?"

Kun Huang and Eagle Phoenix looked at Phoenix, who was dressed in red, their eyes filled with anxiety.

"Our only option now is to pray for our ancestor to descend and protect us, their descendants."

A hint of worry appeared on Phoenix's beautiful face. She sighed softly, a flash of determination in her lovely eyes.

As her voice fell, Phoenix's slender fingers quickly changed, forming complex hand seals one after another. As her hand seals changed, a drop of golden blood floated out from her body, slowly rising into the air.

Seeing this, Kun Huang and Eagle Phoenix no longer hesitated and also began to form hand seals. A drop of golden blood flew out from each of their bodies, converging with Phoenix's blood.

The three drops of golden blood slowly rotated in the air, emitting dazzling golden light. The light grew brighter and brighter, as if it wanted to dye the entire sky gold.

Just then, in a corner of Danxue Mountain, on a tall Wutongtree, a wooden cage stirred.

"What's happening? Is this to summon the ancestor?"

Feng Qing'er's lively beautiful eyes sparkled with surprise. She looked through the gaps in the cage at the unusual sight in the sky.

As a talented member of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, Feng Qing'er should have enjoyed high-standard treatment and training within the clan. However, due to Jiu Feng's death, she was implicated.

The Elders of the clan, without distinguishing right from wrong, imprisoned her and a group of others who went with her.

What chilled Feng Qing'er even more was that the Elders actually planned to sacrifice all of them to Jiu Feng after some time. This action made Feng Qing'er completely lose hope in the clan's high-ranking officials.

The other prisoners in the wooden cage also looked nervously at the sky, their faces filled with unease and confusion.

"Are they really going to summon the ancestor?"

A young clan member whispered, his voice full of hope and fear.

Feng Qing'er gently shook her head, a complex look flashing in her beautiful eyes: "Even if the ancestor's phantom is summoned, I'm afraid it won't change anything!"

Just at this moment—

The entire sky above Danxue Mountain suddenly changed color!!!

"What's going on!"

Many clan members looked up,

only to see the three drops of golden blood suddenly erupt with blinding light, instantly forming a giant golden barrier that enveloped the entire Danxue Mountain.

"Caw!"

A high-pitched, clear cry pierced the sky. The earth-shattering sound was enough to make one's Soul tremble. Amidst the deafening cry, a gigantic ancient Phoenix sacred image slowly appeared.

The sacred image shone with golden light all over, majestic beyond compare. Its massive wings were like a Kunpeng's, but at this moment, they were curled inwards. If spread, they would be enough to cover the entire sky.

The giant wings intertwined, emitting golden light in all directions. Each feather was like an oar, spreading out. The entire scene looked like a giant light bell, protecting the entire Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan within it.

This astonishing sight shocked all the clan members on Danxue Mountain. Many immediately knelt on the ground, prostrating themselves before the ancient Phoenix sacred image in the sky.

"The ancestor has appeared!"

"Our clan is saved!"

Cheers echoed throughout Danxue Mountain. The despair on the faces of the clan members vanished, replaced by endless hope.

However, in the sky outside Danxue Mountain, Gu Fei and the other two watched this scene with varied expressions.

"They actually have such a foundation!"

"The strength of this ancient Heavenly Phoenix phantom is even stronger than Huang Tian's before."

Gu Fei was slightly surprised.

"What's this? I can shatter this little Heavenly Phoenix in three moves!"

Zi Yan was disdainful, a flash of Battle Intent in her beautiful eyes.

As her voice fell, her figure suddenly changed, transforming into a thousand-zhang-tall Dragon Phoenix true form.

The body of a giant Dragon, the wings of a Heavenly Phoenix.

This imposing might made many members of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan on Danxue Mountain tremble with fear.

Many even collapsed directly to the ground, their legs shaking so much they couldn't stand steadily.

"This... is this the legendary ancient Dragon Phoenix?"

"Oh my God. Facing such a powerful being... do we really still have hope?"

The cheers of the clan members abruptly ceased.

Replaced by endless fear and despair.

The next moment—

The gigantic ancient Phoenix sacred image suddenly let out an earth-shattering roar.

In an instant, golden light erupted again, forming waves of golden light that spread in all directions.

"Boom!"

Zi Yan's massive Dragon Phoenix body was slightly pushed back by this force. A hint of surprise flashed in her purplish-gold eyes: "Interesting."

The next moment, Zi Yan lunged forward, her giant Dragon claws reaching towards the ancient Phoenix sacred image.

"Bang!"

With a loud crash, golden light and purplish-gold energy collided in the air, stirring up countless energy ripples.

Even the ancient Phoenix sacred image was slightly shaken by this blow.

It took an unknown amount of time for it to gradually stabilize, then it let out another long roar.

"Bang! Bang!"

In the next few rounds, Zi Yan and the ancient Phoenix phantom clashed fiercely. Each collision caused the heavens and earth to change color, and the entire Danxue Mountain trembled violently.

However, after only three or four rounds, the seemingly incredibly powerful ancient Phoenix phantom began to show cracks. Golden light continuously overflowed from these cracks, and the entire phantom looked precarious.

"No... impossible!"

"The ancestor's phantom actually lost too!"

The clan members of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan watched this scene in despair, their faces filled with disbelief.

"Crack!"

Accompanied by a crisp shattering sound, the gigantic ancient Phoenix phantom completely collapsed. Countless golden light particles scattered in the air, finally slowly dissipating.

Immediately after, the massive golden barrier that enveloped the entire Danxue Mountain also shattered. Golden fragments fell like raindrops, and the entire Danxue Mountain no longer had any reliance.

Phoenix and the others watched this scene, their faces ashen. She slowly looked up at the three figures in the sky, her beautiful eyes filled with grief and despair.

"Young Master Gu Fei, do you really intend to wipe us out?"

Phoenix's voice trembled slightly.

Clearly, this person was completely numb.

Given Phoenix's status, being able to address Gu Fei in such a way and speak such words meant she had lowered herself considerably.

It was clear that she was still trying to maintain her last shred of dignity.

Gu Fei looked down at her from above, without a trace of pity in his eyes: "Did you not consider such an outcome if you failed before?"

"This..."

Phoenix's body trembled slightly upon hearing this.
