Several people only stayed in Yandu for one day and then went to the place where the mountain fire never goes out to look for the imperial bird.
The further we walked toward the top of the mountain, the hotter and unbearable it became. "How long will it take..."
"It's almost there. The hotter the place, the closer it is. It's not far away." Quan was worried when he saw Wen Yuan unable to hold on, so he could only put a layer of barrier around her to relieve the heat.
But this is the divine fire in the Emperor Bird after all, and even a barrier cannot completely resist it.
Seeing that the surrounding fire was getting bigger and bigger, Quan determined that the royal bird's habitat was somewhere nearby, "Let's search around here to see if there are any mechanisms or magic circles."
The Emperor Bird has always liked to do these little tricks, but he didn't expect that he still hasn't changed his habit after so many years.
"Here, there is a small totem here, is it this..." At this time, Wen Yuan was already confused, but he still groped on the ground to see if he could find any clues.
It wasn't until she touched a round object and looked down that she discovered that there was a sculpture carved on it... Is this a phoenix?
She lay on the ground and looked at it carefully, "This is the phoenix... the royal bird, is she the phoenix among phoenixes?"
"Yes. She is Xiangrui who only appears in the world of peace and prosperity. It's a pity that she is a woman with a bad mind. She is willing to give up her noble identity and associate with the demon for the sake of the commander-in-chief."
As soon as Quan finished speaking, the surrounding flames rushed towards him.
After fighting with the flames for a while, a divine bird with brilliant feathers suddenly appeared out of thin air.
The cry of the phoenix resounded through the sky, and the imperial bird slowly fell from the sky, stepped on the grass with its bare feet, and withdrew the divine fire entangled with the spring.
"What are you doing here?" Huangniao noticed that there were people standing silently on the side, dragging his fiery red skirt and walking towards the man, "Hey, isn't this why you fell into a trap after hearing that the commander-in-chief died? Are you awake at night? What? Are you willing to come out of your shabby cave dwelling?"
What this woman said was really unpleasant. Wen Yuan curled her lips, but she didn't expect that such a subtle movement was also seen by her.
Huangniao walked towards Wen Yuan with a look of disbelief on his face, his eyes bright, "You are..." She gently touched Wen Yuan's cheek with her hand in disbelief, "You are their child..."
"She looks so much like him." Wen Yuan didn't know whether Huangniao was referring to her father or mother, but looking at her like this, her appearance reminded her of many past events.
After waking up, the Emperor Bird returned to his arrogant appearance, "Tell me, why are you coming to see me? All the commander's confidants are here. It seems to be a big deal."
"This matter may not be big at all, but it is not small at all. We are here to ask you to follow us back to the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons and wait for the return of the young master." Quan said this while holding Huangniao alone. He was still there for the time being. Don't want Wen Yuan to hear this.
Huangniao instantly understood what he meant, "You want me to go out of seclusion to protect that little girl?"
She didn't want to do this. It was enough to make her sad that Yun Zhongmiao didn't choose her but chose the goddess. Now he actually wants her to protect her rival's daughter. Isn't this a fantasy?
She glanced secretly in Wen Yuan's direction and said, "I won't agree to it. You can go." As the Emperor Bird was about to see off the guests, Ke Quan was still unwilling to give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
He asked the imperial bird to look at Wen Yuan carefully, "Look at her eyes, are they the same as those of the Commander-in-Chief? This is his only bloodline in the world. Are you going to watch the child that the Commander-in-Chief desperately protects die?" Is it in the hands of the gods?"
Quan's words made Huangniao's face darken. She pondered and recalled every bit of her time in the Ten Thousand Demonic Abyss.
The Commander-in-Chief used to take great care of her and would always think of her if he had any good things. But...how could she let go of the hatred caused by him choosing someone else...
But... Huangniao looked at Wen Yuan again. This time, her eyes were filled with sadness, "You go, I want to think alone."
He didn't refuse again, which was a good sign. Quan agreed, "Okay, when you think about it, come to the Lai Lai Inn in the center of the city to find me."
After leaving, Wen Yuan couldn't help but curiously asked Yeyou. This was also a rare initiative for her to talk to Yeyou, "Why does she always stare at me strangely?"
"Probably because your eyes look so much like the commander-in-chief. Seeing your eyes will remind us of the days when we lived with the commander-in-chief in the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons."
Yeah? Although Wen Yuan had some doubts in her heart, she didn't think much about it anymore, "Then where are we going now? Do we want to leave?" She looked at Xiang Quan and asked.
"No, let's come back to the inn." We still have to wait for Huangniao's reply, so how can we just leave like this.
Back at the inn, Wen Yuan found that there were actually guests here, a brother and sister. The girl was a bit arrogant, but her brother was very elegant and kind.
When they met, the man specially greeted Wen Yuan and the others, "Guys, it's fate that we meet each other. Since we all live in the same inn, I'd like to ask for your advice in the future."
"You guys too." Wen Yuan smiled lightly, turned around and continued talking to Shen Huaiyan.
The brother and sister returned to the room. The girl was impatient. As soon as she closed the door, she asked her brother: "Brother! Why don't you catch her now?"
"Have you not seen how many masters are around her?" The man changed his appearance, completely different from before, "Not to mention that Quan and Ye You are the great demons who have been following Yun Zhongmiao, but Nana is the weakest among them. , all have the ability to hallucinate opponents without distinction. With such masters surrounding her, we can only outwit but not attack by force."
The girl agreed with what he said. Many people in the God Realm had suffered from this demon named Nana.
If he hadn't been seriously injured in the battle that year, he wouldn't be like this.
"I see……"
Both of them are top experts sent by the God Realm, and their purpose is to lurk around this group of people.
The fact that they were not discovered by Quan and Yeyou is enough to prove how powerful these two siblings are.
The man's eyes became fierce and filled with murderous intent, "When the time comes, we will take action and end it once and for all."
"Should we disperse them all first? I feel like they are hanging around that woman every day. It's hard to do anything. As long as we find an opportunity to get rid of the woman, we can then release them to the demon world that their young master is dead." With the news, all problems have been solved.”
They are not afraid that the sound of chatting will reach other people's ears. Even if the spring comes, this barrier cannot be broken.
Wen Yuan didn't know that he was already in danger.
A few days later, Emperor Bird disguised himself and came to Lai Lai Inn.
As soon as she entered the inn, she noticed the aura of the gods. She searched the inn suspiciously but found nothing suspicious, "Strange..."
"What's weird?" Wen Yuan stood beside her at some point, but at this time she couldn't help but think that the rickety old woman in front of her was the emperor himself, "Mother-in-law, where did you come from? The shopkeeper here is out. , just sit down for a while and wait, he will be back soon."
The Emperor Bird always looked into Wen Yuan's eyes longingly. He was so similar to the Commander... carved from the same mold.
At this time, the brother and sister came down from upstairs. It was rare that the group of people stopped surrounding Wen Yuan. Isn't this a good opportunity given by God?
The brother and sister winked at Wen Yuan's back, which happened to be seen by Emperor Bird.
Just at this time, she smelled a trace of the divine aura on this girl that was not completely hidden.
I thought to myself, this is another old trick from the God Realm. After all these years, can’t we learn to be smarter from the people above?
"Little girl, come, sit next to me and chat with me, an old woman." Huangniao glared at the two brothers and sisters, "You two look like you are in a hurry. If you have something to do, go quickly."
Huangniao pulled Wen Yuan to sit next to him, "You girl, you are so pretty. My old lady really likes you when she sees you."
If the old woman hadn't stopped him here, the two of them might have succeeded. The girl glared at the emperor with resentment.
After leaving, the girl peeked inside unwillingly outside the inn, "Brother! Why don't you do something? It's just an old woman who is dead!"
"We can't kill innocent people indiscriminately! All we have to do is kill the young master of Wanmoyuan and suppress the demon clan. We can't do anything to the human race."
But the girl didn't think so. She regarded the lives of mortals as nothing and didn't care at all.
But she didn't dare to disobey her brother, so she had to give up this rare opportunity today.
Realizing that the two had left, Huangniao's attitude became cold again. She took off her disguise and said, "Where is Quan? I have something to do with him."
It turned out to be the firebird on the mountain...
Wen Yuan immediately stood up from the stool and almost dropped the emperor bird, "He is out, Ye You is here."
"I hate him so much that I can't talk to him." It's not that I hate Ye You to death. If he hadn't fought with me for the position of the commander's mount, he would have been able to fly into the sky with the commander.
"Okay, then you just wait here for Quan, I'll go up first."
How could Wen Yuan, such an old man, not see Huang Bird's disgust for her? She thought that she had better not stand out in front of Huang Bird.
Seeing that she was about to leave, Emperor Bird quickly stopped her, "Hey, wait a minute!"
"What's wrong?" Wen Yuan turned around in confusion and walked back.
"Do you... remember your biological father and mother?" After asking Huangniao, she felt that she was really dizzy. She didn't have the ability to inherit the leadership, so how could she remember what happened in the past.
Wen Yuan really shook his head, "I don't remember, they died when I was very young, didn't they?"
This is true... Wen Yuan walked upstairs while the emperor was deep in thought.
It took about an hour before Houquan came back. During this time, Huangniao had been sitting there waiting without moving a step.
"You're here, have you made up your mind? Do you want to follow the young master?"
Huangniao had indeed thought about this issue for a long time, and she still could not let go of what had happened in the past, but she also had to admit that she could not bear to see Yun Zhongmiao's only daughter suffer but turn a blind eye.
