Chapter 289: Phoenix Internal Turmoil, Leave This Place

What happened!

That voice just now sounds so familiar!

It's the Grand Elder!

At this moment, the Immortal Sovereign Huang Rou and the High Priest in the Phoenix Immortal Clan's hall immediately changed expression, their hearts greatly shaken!

Immediately afterward, they both reacted, soaring into the air.

Outside, the strong ones of the Phoenix Immortal Clan's garrison who had not joined the rebellion also gathered, joining forces against the enemy.

However, they were caught off guard, suffering heavy casualties.

Hah! Hurry up and surrender, don't make pointless struggles.

You dare to oppose the Domain Lord, you will suffer eternal ruin!

Our Phoenix Immortal Clan can only submit to the Domain Lord to keep our title as the foremost power in Divine Radiance and march toward glory!

Above the void within the immortal clan's small world, a rebellious True Immortal of the Phoenix Clan sneered.

Impudent!

Just as the battle reached a stalemate again, a solemn voice rang out.

Immediately, the Phoenix Immortal Sovereign Huang Rou and the High Priest descended onto the void.

As soon as that solemn voice sounded, all the Phoenix Immortal Clan members fighting in the small world immediately stopped.

Above the void, the Phoenix Immortal Sovereign coldly gazed upon all the rebellious clansmen, a surging fury rising in her heart!

Within her, the mighty Heavenly Phoenix Dao Power surged, and a powerful pressure descended to suppress.

Who gave you the gall to rebel and slaughter your own kin?

Feng Hun! Get out here, old one!

The High Priest holding a staff beside them, face grim, shouted with pressure.

The Feng Hun she spoke of is the Grand Elder of the Phoenix Immortal Clan.

Hahaha, what do you want with me, old man?

Just as the High Priest's words fell, an old, rasping laugh sounded.

The stooped figure of the Grand Elder then appeared above the void.

Feng Hun! As the Grand Elder, why have you betrayed our clan?

Seeing the arrival, the High Priest immediately spoke coldly.

She had long sensed something off with the Grand Elder, but never imagined he would dare to openly rebel.

Hmph! Me rebel? In my view, it's you who are rebelling!

How dare you think you can oppose the Domain Lord with just a mere Heavenly Maiden—laughable!

Oh, right, I forgot to tell you—that little Heavenly Maiden has likely already fallen, hahaha!

As soon as the Grand Elder's words fell, the non-rebellious Phoenix Clan members' faces drastically changed.

What!

The Heavenly Maiden has fallen?

Damn it! You're just the Domain Lord's lackey!

Hearing that, the Phoenix Immortal Sovereign above the void shouted in fury.

Her heart filled with shock and anger, for the sound transmission she sent to Elder Huangzhi, tasked with protecting the Heavenly Maiden, had received no reply.

Could what he said be true! The Heavenly Maiden has met with disaster!

High Priest, I'll handle this—go quickly to the Holy Hall to protect the Heavenly Maiden.

Hearing that, the High Priest hesitated not, immediately flying toward the Holy Hall.

Where do you think you're going!

Seeing this, the Grand Elder's terrifying cultivation erupted instantly as he shot forward.

Now the old immortals of the clan are all under his control, and half the elders have also defected to him.

Thus, the only threats to him are the Immortal Sovereign Huang Rou and the High Priest.

Kill them all!

As soon as those words were spoken, the battle that had paused for a moment resumed in the small world.

In an instant, terrifying Immortal Dao Power ran rampant!

Countless Phoenixes cried out in sorrow.

……

Below, in the small world, Shi Hao and his two companions anxiously hurried toward the Holy Hall where their junior sister was.

They knew the location of the Holy Hall; they had visited their junior sister there yesterday, but were stopped outside.

At the same time, they prayed in their hearts that their junior sister must come to no harm!

That old man's words can't be true, can they!

If so, they'll just wait to bear the wrath of Azure Clouds!

Once the sect's seniors arrive, they'll level this place to the ground!

……

Moments later, Shi Hao and his two companions arrived before the Holy Hall.

All they saw was Elder Huangzhi battling the two original guard captains in the void.

Three fearsome True Immortal auras collided, shaking heaven and earth.

Oh no! Our junior sister really has met with disaster!

Shi Tianjiao! You've finally come—great!

"The heavenly maiden is inside, I'll hold them off, you all quickly take the heavenly maiden and leave!"

"Above the void, sensing someone coming from below, Elder Huangzhi's eyes lit up, and they shouted anxiously."

"Hearing this, Shi Hao and the two others did not dare delay, immediately rushing into the holy hall."

"At this moment, the thick mist inside the holy hall had already dissipated, and every corner of the spacious hall was clearly visible."

"Junior sister! Junior sister!"

"Shi Hao and Lin Bai shouted 'junior sister' while quickly heading deep into the palace."

"After just a few breaths, they arrived at the final Phoenix Immortal Pool, seeing their junior sister lying unconscious on the ground beside it."

"Junior sister!"

"Shi Hao immediately strode forward, using his cultivation power to check his junior sister's condition."

"Fortunately, the junior sister is only unconscious."

"It seems she has been poisoned by a vicious toxin."

"Shi Hao took a deep breath and spoke."

"Moreover, he discovered that even though his junior sister was unconscious, her cultivation technique was still operating automatically, continuously helping her cleanse the toxins in her body."

"The techniques transmitted by our master to each of us three are truly powerful!"

"At this moment, Lin Bai beside them stared at the Phoenix Immortal Pool ahead, furrowing his brow."

"Only to see that the pool water was extremely turbid, deep black in color, and also emitted a foul stench."

"The junior sister must have been harmed by this pool water."

"Surely it was done by someone sent by the grand elder."

"Damn it! The Phoenix Immortal Clan's own affairs have caused their innocent junior sister to suffer."

"Thinking this, Lin Bai clenched tightly the azure lotus bright sword in his hand."

"Junior brother, Senior Yuwen, this place is not suitable for lingering; let's leave quickly."

"Having said that, Shi Hao scooped up Hua Qianyu, who was lying on the ground, and rushed outward."

"Lin Bai and Old Ancestor Yuwen closely followed behind."

"Now the entire Phoenix Immortal Clan should not linger; it's best to leave this place quickly."

"Right! We can go to Junior Brother Yun's Mu family; by then the sect's seniors will also have arrived."

"After a moment, Shi Hao and the others rushed outside the holy hall."

"At this moment, above the void, the battle of the three true immortals continued."

"Those two guards were one a third-stage true immortal and the other a fourth-stage true immortal."

"Elder Huangzhi is also a fourth-stage true immortal, so they could not determine a winner in a short time."

"They're going to run!"

"Damn it! You hold them off, this immortal will go kill them."

"One of the rebellious guards above the void said."

"The two of them had long been bribed by the grand elder; after so much time, they were almost turning into the grand elder's likeness."

"Just then, a resonant, clear phoenix cry rang out from above the void."

"Then the two guards' bodies burst into flames of fiery red sparks."

"Ah! What's happening!"

"After letting out a miserable scream, they were burned to ashes."

"Huh?"

"Elder Huangzhi above the void and Shi Hao and the others below were all bewildered by this."

"Someone has come to help them!"

"Shi Tianjiao, quickly take the heavenly maiden and follow this immortal!"

"I have come under the orders of the Immortal Lord to escort you away."

"The two resounding voices sounded, and the vast figure of the Ancestor Phoenix descended upon the void."

"It's Senior Ancestor Phoenix!"

"Shi Hao excitedly spoke."

"Afterward, Shi Hao embraced the unconscious junior sister, junior brother Lin Bai, and Old Ancestor Yuwen; the four of them swiftly flew onto the Ancestor Phoenix's back."

"The Ancestor Phoenix let out a roar, and its ninth-stage true immortal cultivation erupted, swiftly shuttling out of the small world."

"Along the way, none of the rebellious Phoenix clan dared to block them; they could only watch helplessly as the Ancestor Phoenix departed."
