What is going on?

Someone rubbed their eyes, staring at the scene in disbelief.

They only felt that this scene was extremely dreamlike.

Others had expressions of profound wisdom, as if they saw through everything.

The Old Ancestor must be speaking sarcastically.

Once the Old Ancestor changes his expression, it will be the time for the traitors to die and have their souls extinguished.

On the high platform of the altar.

Phoenix Tian ignored everyone.

Instead, he conversed with the Old Ancestor as if no one else was present.

“The scythe slices, then retracts, and it’s done!”

Phoenix Aotian looked at the dark scythe in Phoenix Tian’s hand, his eyes filled with both shock and deep apprehension.

When facing this blade, for a fleeting moment, he truly felt like he was going to die.

That terrifying sensation even surpassed the pressure the Dust Emperor had exerted on him back then.

“Quickly tell the Old Ancestor, how did this blade come to be?!”

When everyone else saw this, their CPUs were already burning out.

What exactly was going on?

Even those who thought the Old Ancestor was speaking sarcastically were now unsure.

This didn’t look like sarcasm at all!

Phoenix Tian, however, didn’t care what others thought.

“I took a master.”

“I told him about my clan’s affairs and asked him for help. He then lent me this blade.”

“It’s that simple?”

“It’s that simple!”

“Whew…”

Phoenix Aotian took a deep breath, an endless surge of emotions rising within him.

Phoenix Aotian believed no one understood better than him how troublesome the curse on the Three-Eyed Phoenix Hound Clan was.

Even he could only treat the symptoms, not the root cause.

In fact, he had spent a long time researching to find even this symptomatic treatment.

But now, the curse that had left him helpless for so many years was resolved so easily.

The person didn’t even need to show up; they just lent a scythe, and it was taken care of.

Who exactly was this mysterious figure?

If, at first, Phoenix Aotian had harbored a slight thought of possessing the scythe, then with Phoenix Tian’s words, he immediately cast that selfish desire to the winds.

What a joke! Someone who could casually lend out a blade that could threaten his life and easily lift an Emperor’s curse was no ordinary person.

They likely had an incredibly powerful background.

The painful lesson from the Dust Emperor back then was still vivid in his memory.

Now encountering such an existence, he didn’t even need to think; he could only befriend them and absolutely not offend them.

“Wait, when did you take a master?”

Feng Aotian suddenly remembered something and quickly asked.

The next moment.

He reacted, shocked: “The master you’re talking about, it couldn’t be…?”

Actually, this wasn’t hard to guess, as the only people Phoenix Tian had come into contact with were Zhong Qing and others.

“That’s right, it’s them.”

Phoenix Tian nodded.

“It, it’s actually them!”

His suspicion was confirmed, and Feng Aotian felt it was unbelievable.

He had initially thought a group of ants had entered, but he hadn’t expected such powerful beings.

At this moment, Phoenix Tian continued, “Old Ancestor, my father and I each gave away one of our Three-Eyed Phoenix Hound Clan’s two treasures. You won’t blame us, will you?”

Goodness, what a character!

Everyone exclaimed!

They gnashed their teeth in hatred.

How could he so casually say that he gave away their clan’s treasures?

And for the father and son to each give one away, did they really think treasures were like common vegetables by the roadside?

Those were the treasures the Three-Eyed Phoenix Hound Clan had accumulated for countless years!

Would he still blame him?

Was this a question of blame or not?

They wished they could tear him into a thousand pieces.

Why was the Old Ancestor still chatting with Phoenix Tian? Why didn’t he quickly clean house!

It was not beyond everyone’s expectation.

Phoenix Aotian’s face immediately darkened.

“Such a major matter, and neither of you told the Old Ancestor in advance?”

“My Three-Eyed Phoenix Hound Clan has a total of three treasures, and the Old Ancestor still has one. Why didn’t you send it over together!”

“Holy cow…”

The sudden outburst almost made them stumble.

Some people’s eyes nearly popped out.

Were these words the Old Ancestor should say?

Not only did the Old Ancestor not get angry about two treasures being given away, but he even said, “Why didn’t you tell me? You should have given away the third treasure too?”

Was this still the Old Ancestor they knew?

He must have been possessed, right?

However, Phoenix Aotian had lived for countless tens of thousands of years and was already as cunning as an old fox.

At this moment, how could he not know the strength and power of Zhong Qing and others?

So, as they chatted, he began to scheme. Since his grandson had taken the other party as his master, could he not also use this relationship to establish a slight connection with them?

Thereby seizing the opportunity to cling to this powerful figure.

As for what changed him, it was undoubtedly the lesson from the Dust Emperor back then.

Phoenix Tian and Phoenix Yingtian looked at their Old Ancestor with strange expressions.

“Old Ancestor, you actually still have a private stash?”

The synchronized voices of the father and son came at the same time.

Phoenix Aotian rolled his eyes at the two of them.

“They say you shouldn’t put all your eggs in one basket. If the Old Ancestor handed over all his family assets to you, how could I still be your Old Ancestor?”

“Oh my!”

Phoenix Tian’s gaze constantly shifted between the Old Ancestor and his own father.

They truly were of the same lineage.

They could say the exact same things that left him unable to refute.

Phoenix Yingtian, on the other hand, looked admiring.

That’s why he was called the Old Ancestor.

Even under those circumstances back then, the Old Ancestor could hide a treasure that he hadn’t even noticed.

This alone was something he needed to learn his whole life.

At this point, Phoenix Aotian suddenly came to Phoenix Tian with a smile on his face and said, “Tian’er, how have I treated you normally?”

Phoenix Tian thought carefully for a moment.

“So-so!”

Phoenix Aotian became anxious.

“How can it be so-so?”

“The Old Ancestor has been utterly devoted to you. When my Three-Eyed Phoenix Hound Clan was cursed, you were able to survive. The Old Ancestor should have played an indispensable role, shouldn’t he?”

“But if it weren’t for the Old Ancestor insisting on challenging the Dust Emperor back then, how would my Three-Eyed Phoenix Hound Clan have fallen to this state?”

“Then all these years, the Old Ancestor has suppressed the outbreak of your curse power. Even if there’s no merit, there’s been hard work, right?”

“Old Ancestor, you imprisoned me for tens of thousands of years. Can that be called merit?”

“Old Ancestor, what exactly do you want to say?”

Phoenix Tian was getting a bit impatient with his Old Ancestor’s rambling.

Phoenix Aotian thought for a long time but truly couldn’t think of any favors he had done for Phoenix Tian.

Hearing this, he simply stopped thinking.

Instead, he directly stated, “Help me introduce your master!”

“See if your master can accept me, even if it’s as a servant, I’ll accept it!”

Countless Three-Eyed Phoenix Hound clansmen, upon hearing this, were completely dumbfounded.

And they were so bewildered that everyone was at a loss.

Phoenix Tian and his father betraying the clan and giving away two treasures was bad enough, not to mention not cleaning house.

Before, he even mentioned giving away the third treasure.

The most outrageous thing was the final statement: he wanted to voluntarily go and serve as a servant to someone????
