Dad, why are you lying with your eyes open?

Big Brother!

Chicken One shouted loudly.

The Twelve Demon Generals all gathered around him, their faces filled with joy.

Zhong Qing's eyes held a hint of surprise.

That Scarecrow fellow!

He thought he had gone to find some treasure.

Who knew he would run here to mine.

What kind of special hobby is this?

As a group of people surrounded him noisily,

Phoenix Tian's face was filled with shock.

He had personally witnessed how powerful the Scarecrow was.

Who are these people?

They can actually call the Scarecrow Senior 'brother'.

And among these people, his eyes immediately fell on Zhong Qing.

In his eyes,

This was a very special person.

He wasn't very old, just in his early twenties.

But his Aura was steady and extraordinary, making it impossible to gauge his depth.

His features were deep and well-defined, and coupled with his white robes, he looked like an exiled immortal descended to the mortal world.

So handsome he had no friends.

Furthermore, beside him, there was a Returning to One Realm expert respectfully following behind him, further highlighting his transcendence.

While Phoenix Tian was secretly sizing up Zhong Qing, the Scarecrow had already leaped past the Demon Generals.

He went straight to Zhong Qing.

Master!

Boom...

This scene,

Like a clap of thunder, exploded directly in Phoenix Tian's mind.

Causing a surge of turbulent waves in his heart.

The Scarecrow, that was an existence who could cleave away a curse technique unleashed by a Great Emperor with a single strike, and with a mere breath, could blow away his old father, an supreme figure.

Now, he actually called that young man 'Master'.

He had felt Zhong Qing was extraordinary at first glance.

But he never expected him to be so exceptional.

Even the Scarecrow had to acknowledge him as Master.

This, what kind of terrifying person is he?

Along with Phoenix Tian, Phoenix Yingtian's heart was also in turmoil.

Ever since he had a confrontation with the Scarecrow earlier, the Scarecrow's power, like a towering mountain, had constantly weighed on his heart.

So strong that it made him feel suffocated.

Afterward, he even refused to recall how powerful the Scarecrow truly was.

If he were to face the Twelve Demon Generals, he still had confidence that, once he recovered to his Peak, he could completely crush them.

But against the Scarecrow, even if he was at his Peak, he had no confidence in winning.

Yet, such an existence actually acknowledged Zhong Qing as his Master.

What is the background of this young man, who he had previously regarded as a mere ant?

Phoenix Yingtian's eyes were filled with shock and doubt.

The more he interacted with Zhong Qing, the more extraordinary he found him to be.

So extraordinary that he felt a strong sense of apprehension.

Soon!

He comforted himself in his heart.

No matter how extraordinary he was,

This was the territory of the Three-Eyed Phoenix Hound Clan.

Once the Old Ancestor made a move, he would surely meet a regrettable end.

At this moment, only the Old Ancestor could give him some sense of security and confidence.

However, thinking of his previous unpleasant encounter with the Scarecrow,

He immediately hunched his body, shrinking into a ball, trying to minimize his presence.

He had been disrespectful earlier, and Phoenix Yingtian felt that if the Scarecrow noticed him,

It was hard to guarantee that he wouldn't come looking for trouble.

At this moment, he even neglected to acknowledge his son.

But while he didn't want to acknowledge Phoenix Tian,

Phoenix Tian recognized him at a glance.

Dad, why are you here?

If the Scarecrow's address to Zhong Qing shocked Phoenix Tian,

Then his encounter with Phoenix Yingtian was astonishing.

As he called out,

Phoenix Yingtian's heart skipped a beat.

He thought, 'This is bad.'

He desperately winked at Phoenix Tian.

He wanted him to pretend he had mistaken him for someone else, that he didn't know him.

Dad, do you have a stye?

What are you doing, winking and blinking like that?

Upon hearing this, Phoenix Yingtian's face became extremely ugly.

He couldn't understand why his usually intelligent and clever son would become so confused at such a crucial moment.

At this moment,

Chicken One walked up to Phoenix Tian.

You... you know each other?

Phoenix Tian respectfully said, "Senior, more than just knowing each other, no one in the world understands him better than I do."

"This is my dad!"

Oh!

Chicken One raised an eyebrow.

Then he said with a half-smile,

"Then could you tell me your dad's name?"

Phoenix Tian said boldly,

Phoenix Yingtian!

Chicken One raised an eyebrow, giving Phoenix Yingtian a meaningful look.

This look almost made him kneel in fright.

At this moment, he no longer cared about lowering his presence.

He quickly rushed out to explain,

Chicken Lord, Feng Yi is my real name, Phoenix Yingtian is just an alias.

It's not that I intentionally deceived Chicken Lord, please investigate, Chicken Lord.

As he spoke,

He quickly gave his good son a frantic look, signaling him to cooperate.

But Chicken One slapped him, sending him flying.

Chicken Lord hasn't spoken yet, when is it your turn to talk?

Phoenix Tian agreed, saying,

Exactly!

Dad, it's rare for Senior to want to chat with me, what are you interfering for?

Isn't this disrespectful to Senior?

Phoenix Yingtian gave his son a resentful look.

He seriously suspected that this son had a grudge against him, and not a small one.

Chicken One ignored his resentful little eyes.

He continued to ask Phoenix Tian, "What is your dad's status in the Three-Eyed Phoenix Hound Clan?"

Upon hearing this, Phoenix Yingtian had no time for resentment.

He quickly interjected,

Chicken Lord, didn't I say earlier that he's just an ordinary member?

However, no sooner had he finished speaking,

Phoenix Tian immediately retorted, "Dad! How can you lie with your eyes open?"

"You are our Three-Eyed Phoenix Hound Clan Chief, the highest-ranking existence besides the Old Ancestor."

"How can you be ordinary and unremarkable?"

"If you're unremarkable, then what am I?"

Upon hearing this, Phoenix Yingtian was so angry he almost vomited blood.

What evil had he committed!

To have sired such an unfilial son.

At this moment, he felt a deep betrayal from his Bloodline descendant.

Just then, Chicken One's scrutinizing gaze fell upon him, making his scalp tingle.

Fortunately, Chicken One did not immediately make things difficult, but instead asked Phoenix Tian, word by word, "Does your Three-Eyed Phoenix Hound Clan have any Treasure Trove buried?"

Upon hearing this!

Phoenix Tian instantly became energetic.

Senior, you've asked the right person this time.

Not many people in the world know about the ultimate Treasure Trove buried by our Clan.

Only three!

And I am one of them.

If the previous questions were still on the edge of what Phoenix Yingtian could bear,

The matter concerning the Treasure Trove completely touched his reverse scale.

That was the capital for the future rise of the Three-Eyed Phoenix Hound Clan.

Phoenix Tian, you cannot speak.

That is the Foundation of our Clan's rise. If you dare to reveal even half a piece of information, I will sever all ties with you, and from now on, you will no longer be my son.

At this moment, he didn't even bother to pretend.

It was evident how important the Treasure Trove was in his heart, sometimes even surpassing his own life.

However, after hearing this, Phoenix Tian looked at his old father in surprise.

Dad!

How many years ago did you say you wanted to cut ties with me, but which time did you actually do it?

A Treasure Trove is good, but it's just a dead object.

As long as it can make the Seniors happy, why not offer it to them?

Phoenix Tian said this sincerely, without any falsehood.

In his opinion, as long as he could establish a connection with the Scarecrow and his group, let alone just a Treasure Trove, even if he had to pay more, it would be worth it.

However, upon hearing this, Phoenix Yingtian only felt his head reel, his vision go black, and he fainted from sheer anger.

This son, he's truly rebellious!
