187: The Patriarch of the A clan, Emperor Xuan Qin!

Phoenix Xingyuan still had a worried expression on his face after hearing what Kuo Emperor and the others said.

"Uncles, is there still no news of my father's closed-door cultivation?"

Water Emperor responded, "Feng Xingyuan, your father is currently at a critical juncture in his Breakthrough, no matter what happens, he cannot be disturbed!"

"As long as he succeeds, he will become the third Great Emperor of my Phoenix, which concerns the future glory of my Phoenix, so he absolutely cannot be affected in any way."

"Don't worry too much about Phoenix Ao Ming's matter."

"I know you love your younger brother Phoenix Ao Ming, so rest assured, once Chu Yun's background and identity are thoroughly investigated, if it really comes down to it, us uncles will just have to go there ourselves."

Hao Emperor also spoke at this time, "Phoenix Xingyuan, you should go back first."

"As soon as there's any progress, I'll notify you immediately."

Hearing his elders say this, Phoenix Xingyuan sighed and slowly nodded, "Alright."

"Uncle Hao, if there's any news, you must tell me immediately!"

After that, Phoenix Xingyuan left the main hall.

He went alone to a secret room that belonged solely to him.

The next moment, he used Soul Power to communicate with space, establishing a connection with a certain spatial coordinate, and a projected image naturally appeared.

In the image was a handsome young man with the Aura of a noble.

This person was precisely the mysterious Clan Chief of Heaven and Earth Pavilion.

"Phoenix Xingyuan, why are you contacting this Young Master?" the Young Master in the image asked.

"Young Master, Phoenix Ao Ming was captured by Chu Yun and is currently imprisoned in the Great Xia Imperial Palace."

"Chu Yun has set a condition of one million year blood essence stone for my father to redeem him," Phoenix Xingyuan's expression was solemn at this moment.

There was worry in his eyes, but it wasn't due to familial affection.

The Young Master was surprised to hear this, "When did Phoenix Ao Ming provoke Chu Yun? That idiot!"

"How much Wizard Ancestor Soul did you leave on him?"

Phoenix Xingyuan said with a solemn expression, "Thirty percent."

"Because Phoenix Ao Ming's Bloodline has the highest compatibility with mine, I fused thirty percent of the Wizard Ancestor Soul into his Bloodline."

"As long as his Bloodline continues to grow and his cultivation reaches the Peak of the Eternal Realm, I can completely harvest it."

"But if he dies, those thirty percent of Wizard Ancestor Soul will also dissipate with him, and in that case, the Wizard Refining Technique will be a complete failure."

Hearing this, the Young Master's expression also turned slightly gloomy.

The Wizard Refining Technique was personally taught to Phoenix Xingyuan by him, and he had high hopes for it, and this technique was also extremely important in his plan.

Therefore, there must be no mishaps whatsoever.

"Chu Yun is from the Thatched Cottage, just based on that, if your Phoenix Clan dares to use force, it will be courting death."

"How about this, I'll have someone get you a million year blood essence stone, and you personally take it to the Great Xia Dynasty to redeem Phoenix Ao Ming."

"No matter what, you absolutely cannot let him die!"

"You know how important the success of the Wizard Refining Technique is to this Young Master."

"Therefore, Phoenix Ao Ming must not suffer any mishaps!" the Young Master said with extreme solemnity.

Phoenix Xingyuan nodded solemnly, "Young Master, rest assured, I understand the importance of this matter and will definitely bring him back safely."

...

Half a day later, someone delivered a million year blood essence stone to Phoenix Xingyuan.

The latter did not tell anyone in the Phoenix Clan and went to the Great Xia Dynasty alone.

...

Thatched Cottage.

At this moment, Third Master sat on a stone bench, calmly playing a game of chess in front of him.

Fourth Master held an ancient scripture, walking and reading in the nearby pavilion.

Fifth Master sat beside Third Master, curiously examining the chess pieces on the board.

"Third Senior Brother, why is this game of chess you're playing so strange?"

"The black pieces can clearly win, so why are you giving the white pieces a way out?" Fifth Master asked curiously.

Third Master held a chess piece in his hand and smiled elegantly, "Giving it a way out can make the white pieces lose more."

"The black pieces are already in a winning position, and the white pieces see no hope, so the white pieces will desperately give up."

"But if the white pieces are given hope, they will still invest everything without hesitation, to gamble for that sliver of survival."

"And this, precisely, is what the player of the black pieces wants to see."

Fifth Master looked at him with a strange expression, "But whether it's the black pieces or the white pieces, aren't you the player?"

"Then if that's the case, after the white pieces invest everything without hesitation, won't they still be doomed?"

Third Master shook his head and smiled, "I am the player, but sometimes, the chess pieces can also bring about different changes."

"Whether a game can come alive, sometimes, the chess pieces even play the main role."

Under Fifth Master's gaze, the black pieces filled the intentionally left gap, encircling the white pieces to completely devour them.

But at some unknown point, an inconspicuous white piece, after a series of moves by Third Master, actually tore open a gap in the side of the black pieces.

Completely revitalizing the white pieces' position.

"Often, inconspicuous people or things can sometimes even determine the outcome of events."

After the chess game came alive, Third Master smiled faintly.

Fifth Master said with surprise, "Senior Brother, only you can bring such a game back to life."

Third Master said calmly, "From the moment that inconspicuous white piece was placed, this chess game, the white pieces never truly had a dead end."

"When the Karma is set, there will naturally be a result."

Fifth Master seemed to have grasped something, "Is this the essence of Karma that Senior Brother often talks about?"

Third Master smiled, not answering his question, but instead said, "Alright, Old Fifth, you have nothing to do now, so go down the mountain and pick someone up."

"Pick someone up down the mountain?"

"Who is it?" Fifth Master asked in confusion.

"Someone from Elf Island," Third Master said.

...

At the foot of Thatched Cottage Mountain.

As soon as Fifth Master came down from the mountain, he saw an Elf Clan man with eight pairs of glowing wings on his body, surrounded by an indescribable Aura, and in his Elf eyes, it seemed to contain the universe and stars, possessing infinite power!

The Elf Clan man's figure landed in front of Fifth Master, and he nodded slightly politely, "Fifth Master, are you just about to go down the mountain?"

Fifth Master then responded, "I specifically came to welcome Clan Chief Great Emperor Xuanqin up the mountain."

"Third Senior Brother instructed that there's a guest visiting, and I should welcome him properly."

Great Emperor Xuanqin!

He was the current Clan Chief of the A Clan of the Elf Clan, A Xuanqin.

Great Emperor Xuanqin's expression was slightly surprised at this moment, "Oh? Third Master knew I was coming?"

Fifth Master casually replied, "Third Senior Brother is incredibly resourceful, so it's not surprising that he knew in advance."

"Alright, Clan Chief Great Emperor Xuanqin, follow me."
