"Is it over?" its voice resonated with endless majesty, "This child has affinity with my clan, yet this ancient god dares to try to seize his body— isn't that trampling the face of my phoenix clan underfoot?

Qin Yu listened to the second-generation ancestor's words, feeling both shocked and tense; this second-generation ancestor was truly overbearing, opening his mouth only with lethal decisiveness.

"Hold it!" the Nine Yang Ancient God hastily reached out to block, cold sweat pouring from his forehead.
