Chapter 1459 - 519: Little Wuya’s Parents
Speaking of which, this Phoenix Clan boy named Rui and Little Wuya actually have a bit of a blood relationship.
His personality is unpredictable, but because he understands the array, he is a rare Array Master in the clan and is thus very favored by the Old Clan Leader.
He relies on his skills and is known as the notorious Little Tyrant in the clan.
Many women in the clan have been humiliated by him, but due to his status and strength, they don’t dare to make a sound.
Ye Lingyue, listening from within the Water Bright Crystal, couldn’t help but frown secretly, sneering at this youth’s character.
Such a wanton person, it’s no wonder he would commit such a forbidden act as stealing the Water Spirit in a Human Clan village.
The woman named Zixian, after listening, dared not resist, her pretty face turning pale, and could only cry softly.
Rui ignored her and strutted toward the depths of the Ancient Wood Forest.
There, in a luxurious treehouse, is the residence of Rui’s family.
"My lord, you’re back."
Seeing Rui returning, several robust women hurriedly stepped forward to help the youth wash and change clothes.
While freshening up, a beautiful woman walked in.
"My dear treasure, where did you go last night? I was looking for you all night, and you were nowhere to be found."
"Mother, I went for a walk around Fang Ah County." Rui said proudly.
"You child, were you looking for Water Yao Stones again? I’ve told you countless times, if your gathering of Water Yao Stones in the Human Clan villages is found out, you’ll be punished."
Upon hearing this, the beautiful woman looked nervous.
The Phoenix Clan has been residing in Jiunie Mountain for many years and rarely participates in the affairs of the Ancient Nine Provinces. As a result, even though the Jiu Provinces Hunting is in full swing, Jiunie Mountain remains peaceful, practically a paradise.
As the absolute rulers of Jiunie Mountain, the Phoenix Clan is very strict in controlling its members.
The clan members are not allowed to disturb the lives of the surrounding village inhabitants, let alone commit such atrocities as gathering Water Yao Stones in the villages.
"Mother, you’re too timid. If it weren’t for me looking for over a dozen Water Yao Stones in Human Clan villages, how would Father compete with Uncle for the position of Clan Leader, and how would you seize the chance to become the Clan Chief’s Wife? Are you planning to spend your whole life being submissive to Aunt?"
Rui didn’t care.
"That’s true, your father is indeed better than your uncle at everything, and you are countless times better than your uncle’s useless offspring, yet because of seniority, your father has always been under your uncle. I’ve been dissatisfied with this for years. It’s only thanks to your grandfather’s upcoming ascension that we have this chance." The beautiful woman said with jealousy.
The mother and son discussed a few more things, mostly expressions of jealousy toward their uncle’s family, determined to gain the Clan Leader’s favor and seize the position.
Ye Lingyue listened to bits and pieces, and with her ingenuity, she had already figured it out.
This mother and son are not good people, and Rui’s theft of the Water Yao Stone seems to be related to the Old Clan Leader’s ascension.
"But unfortunately, despite your and your father’s efforts, you only found a dozen Water Yao Stones. That aunt of yours, somehow, helped your uncle find nearly twenty Water Yao Stones. At this rate, I’m afraid your father will lose to your uncle before the deadline."
The beautiful woman looked dissatisfied.
This shortage of Water Yao Stones is precisely why Rui would risk it again, sneaking into the Human Clan village last night.
He originally planned, if he still couldn’t gather enough Water Yao Stones, to make his move around Fang Ah County.
Fang Ah County is much larger than eighteen villages, so more Water Yao Stones could definitely be gathered there.
"Mother, just guess what I did last night. Let me show you something good." Rui said smugly, taking out the Water Bright Crystal.
"Water Bright Crystal? My son, am I seeing things? Is this really Water Bright Crystal? Heaven help us, I never expected my son to be even more capable than your father. Where did you get such a big piece of Water Bright Crystal?"
The beautiful woman’s eyes lit up, almost losing her eyeballs when she saw the Water Bright Crystal.
"I found it in the village. Right, Mother, there’s something I’d like to ask you. Do you know of any bird, except for our Phoenix Clan, that can speak human language and break a Fire Spirit Array?"
Rui remembered encountering Little Wuya that night.
Back then, Little Wuya was in owl form, but Rui had never heard of such a formidable presence among the owl tribe.
"My son, why are you asking this out of nowhere? In terms of fire resistance, the Phoenix lineage in Jiunie Mountain is undoubtedly the strongest. You know that our blood contains the lineage of the Ancient Divine Bird Vermilion Bird. As for other Bird Clans, no matter how powerful, they can’t possibly resist a Fire Spirit Array formed by your primordial essence."
The beautiful woman was evidently infatuated with the Water Bright Crystal.
After appreciating it for a while, coincidentally, the Old Clan Leader called for the mother and son’s presence, so Rui hid the Water Bright Crystal in the house before leaving with the beautiful woman.
As soon as they left, it provided Ye Lingyue an excellent opportunity.
Ye Lingyue’s Primordial Spirit emerged from the Water Bright Crystal.
"It seems the Phoenix Clan isn’t peaceful either. Jiunie Mountain’s perimeter is set with a special Wood Spirit Array Formation, making it difficult for ordinary people to enter. However, I’ve left a mark on the ancient wood’s trunk, hoping that other team members and Little Wuya can find the path when they arrive."
Ye Lingyue pondered.
She was already inside Jiunie Mountain, so she couldn’t waste this good opportunity.
She had to find out if she could possibly encounter Little Wuya’s birth parents before being discovered.
For Little Wuya, Ye Lingyue still felt a bit guilty in her heart.
It was her greed at the time that drove her to snatch the Phoenix Egg. She still remembered the heartbroken expression of Little Wuya’s mother, Ice Phoenix. Thinking back now, it indeed seemed cruel to separate flesh and blood.
Who knows if, after so many years, the Phoenix Couple still remembers their daughter, Little Wuya, who was left behind on Qing Province Continent.
Jiunie Mountain is vast, but finding the Phoenix Couple shouldn’t be difficult for Ye Lingyue.
Judging from the conversation earlier between the mother and son, Ye Lingyue speculated that even in Jiunie Mountain, there aren’t many true Phoenix descendants.
Moreover, these Phoenixes are not true Divine Phoenixes. They appear to be descendants of the Ancient Divine Beast Vermilion Bird, to be precise, demigod beasts.
In the entire Phoenix Tribe, the strongest should be Rui’s grandfather, the Phoenix Old Clan Leader.
Next in strength should be the Old Clan Leader’s offspring and grandsons, so all Ye Lingyue had to do was find the strongest presence in Jiunie Mountain, which would likely be Little Wuya’s parents or relatives.
With this thought in mind, Ye Lingyue’s Primordial Spirit Avatar began to wander within Jiunie Mountain.
