The man in the brocade clothing, who was the Holy Son of the True Dragon Clan, had not yet spoken.

The eight protectors of the True Phoenix Clan standing on either side spoke in unison:

"Holy Son!"

"Holy Son!"

"Holy Son!"

Almost simultaneously, they bent their backs...a ninety-degree bow!

Only the Holy Son of the True Dragon Clan could make their proud heads bow down so low, not daring even to lift their eyes to look at him.

Only the Holy Son could make them willingly discard their dignity and submit at his feet!

The Holy Son glanced at them indifferently, then shifted his gaze to the mountains, looking at the top of the Tiandu Palace, and said faintly:

"This is the ancient relic, Tiandu Palace?"

"To answer the Holy Son! This is indeed the ancient relic Tiandu Palace!" Ye Ziqi replied.

The Holy Son nodded, looking coldly at the sky and the dilapidated steps.

He frowned slightly and said, "I have met with your True Lord... The True Lord and my father are discussing matters of returning to Jiuzhou and cannot come. All affairs here are to follow my instructions alone!"

The eight protectors bowed and said in unison:

"Yes! We await the Holy Son's command!"

The Holy Son nodded again.

He sighed softly and said, "Tell me... why does the Holy Daughter refuse to return to the True Phoenix Clan... her status is so noble, how could she associate with those lower-class humans?"

Upon hearing this question.

Ye Ziqi broke out in a cold sweat.

This matter involves many issues, and a single mistake in words could be disastrous.

For example, the Holy Daughter had married Fang Yu in modern society, and they were legally married. Needless to say, they must have shared a bed.

If the Holy Son knew this, what would happen?

Ye Ziqi, being a smart person, assumed the Holy Son didn't know about this yet. Otherwise, with the Holy Son's temper, how could he calmly talk with them at the foot of the mountain?

After contemplating for a moment, Ye Ziqi organized his words and said:

"To answer the Holy Son... The Holy Daughter has been misled by small-minded individuals. The Holy Daughter was born in modern society and was educated in contemporary civilization, knowing little about the affairs of the former True Phoenix Clan. The Holy Daughter is still young and, upon returning to Huaxia, made some friends and became familiar with them. Later, as spiritual energy revived, martial artists and cultivators emerged like mushrooms after rain, and the family into which the Holy Daughter was born is a family of martial artists. The Holy Daughter herself possesses the True Phoenix Bloodline, so naturally, she is superior and directly stepped onto the cultivation path, quickly becoming a high rank cultivator. Recently, she even successfully underwent the baptism of a divine statue in one of the Five Great Divine Palaces, the Ice Divine Temple."

While saying this, Ye Ziqi didn't feel any response; the surroundings were silent, and even the wind seemed to stop, so he sneakily glanced at the Holy Son and noticed the Holy Son's serene complexion devoid of disturbance.

Thus, Ye Ziqi became a bit bolder and continued:

"Who would have thought… Fang Yu of Jiangzhou, through unknown fortuity, became the master of Tiandu Mountain, claiming himself as Emperor Yu. How many dare call themselves emperors in this world? This bastard is not only arrogant but also narcissistic, not putting anyone in his eyes. The Holy Daughter, being young and simple-hearted, fell for Fang Yu's lure and deception. This person not only insulted the True Phoenix Clan before the Holy Daughter but also the True Dragon Clan…"

"Insult?" The Holy Son turned his head and glanced at Ye Ziqi.

"This person insulted us by saying the True Phoenix Clan is made up of lower-class humans, and the True Dragon Clan is not truly orthodox! This person blatantly proclaimed that everyone was equal! This is an individual who doesn't respect anyone. Under him, there are numerous cultivators and believers, all deceived by him. They all advocate for equality…ridiculous, lowly humans with despicable bloodlines, how could they compare to the True Phoenix and True Dragon Clans?!" Ye Ziqi said in loathing.

Upon these words.

The Holy Son gave him a cold look and said:

"Let me correct you."

"Holy Son, please speak…"

"They cannot be compared to the True Dragon Clan… pay attention to your words, to your status," the Holy Son said nonchalantly.

Ye Ziqi shivered.

His wording seemed to place the True Phoenix Clan and True Dragon Clan on the same level.

Historically.

Male before female... the dragon leads.

No matter how powerful the phoenix, it only ranks behind the dragon.

Yet…

Thousands of years have passed.

It was thought that, as ancient families returning to the modern city, they should unite and support each other. Yet, the True Dragon Clan held no regard for equality with the True Phoenix Clan.

The Holy Son's words were light, but they deeply pierced Ye Ziqi's heart.

The sense of inferiority was truly uncomfortable.

Yet there was nothing he could do!

The Holy Son turned around, his eyes coolly flicking to the guide beside him, and asked, "Is that true?"

This was for confirmation.

Knowing the guide was also from the True Phoenix Clan, he still sought confirmation from him.

Ye Ziqi lamented at heart, indeed a man of deep city tactics.

The purpose, nothing more than to push all responsibility onto the True Phoenix Clan.

Right or wrong depends entirely on the information you provide.

"To answer the Holy Son, the protector is correct… the other seven protectors present can verify this."

Before those seven protectors could speak.

The Holy Son raised his hand and said, "Good…"

He looked once more at the top of Tiandu Mountain.

That majestic Tiandu Palace, shrouded in clouds, looked as if it was a place where immortals reside.

A gleam of excitement crossed the corner of his eyes as he said, "Let us advance."

"Um... Holy Son…"

"Hmm?"

"The Holy Daughter is within the hall, in an enlightenment state, having reached this state two days ago, she alone repelled us eight. Her cultivation realm is Star, whereas we are merely in the Heavenly Mechanism Realm, unable to compete…" Ye Ziqi said.

The Holy Son was slightly taken aback and said, "Enlightenment state… your Holy Daughter of the True Phoenix Clan is indeed impressive… such a talent is indeed qualified to be my wife..."

"What the Holy Son says is true."

"Let us proceed… You need not worry… Although my power is only at the Heavenly Mechanism Peak… I wouldn't engage in anything I am not confident about. Follow me!"

"Yes!"

The eight protectors bowed at once.

The others were even more respectful.

The Holy Son led the way up the steps.

The others followed.

...

At this moment, before the Tiandu Mountain Hall.

Ye Wenjun paced back and forth, as she had two days ago.

However…

Inside the hall, Xu Sisi looked worried.

"I hope Mr. Fang can return soon; it's been two and a half days… Although Wenjun seems to still be in the enlightenment state… But, going on like this without eating or drinking won't hold up much longer!"

Everyone was shocked.

Indeed! Man is iron, and food is steel; one meal missed, hunger strikes hard.

What's more, not eating or drinking, yet walking back and forth!

At this revelation, everyone became anxious as well.
