Chapter 2135: The Sage Awakens on the Sacrificial Altar VS The Tomb-Raiding Woman (30)
Qing Yao suddenly saw the light.
So, it turned out to be like this.
Her position in his heart was different from others.
He liked her.
...
Gu Shengyin, who was rushing back to the Phoenix Family clan, had no idea that Qing Yao was lying alone, naked on the ground of the Extreme Southern Land, having understood her own feelings.
She still remembered the promise she made to Huang He, to recuperate and then return to the clan to officially announce Huang Tian’s return.
Huang Tian’s lifelong dream was to protect the entire Phoenix Family clan, and Gu Shengyin would naturally continue her dream.
As long as Huang Tian existed, so would the Phoenix Family.
However, before Gu Shengyin could hurry back, the Ancestral Phoenix Order in her hand suddenly lit up.
The voice of Ancestor Huang He emerged: "Aunt, the family is in trouble!"
Just this brief sentence made Gu Shengyin’s heart shudder.
What type of person was Huang He?
A dignified Mystic Saint powerhouse, an entity akin to the Peak of the entire Tianxuan continent.
What kind of enemy could cause him to be so panic-stricken?
Without further thought, Gu Shengyin accelerated to the maximum, heading toward the Phoenix Family clan.
At the same time, she called out to the "dormant" system.
"System, help me check what’s happening with the Phoenix Family clan."
The system quickly provided an answer: "The Yin Family, which has always been at odds with the Phoenix Family clan, today allied with several other families and suddenly launched a surprise attack on the Phoenix Family clan."
"A surprise attack?" Gu Shengyin frowned.
This incident seemed somewhat unusual.
After all, the Phoenix Family clan had Mystic Saint powerhouses. Unless the adversary was confident enough to keep the clan’s two Mystic Saints here today, otherwise, the retaliation of the two Mystic Saints would not be something any family could underestimate.
However, when the system reported which families were cooperating with the Yin Family, Gu Shengyin fell into silence.
These families were all well-known for their intelligence on the Tianxuan continent; even if not comparable to the Phoenix Family and Yin Family, they had at least one Mystic Saint powerhouse — otherwise, the Yin Family wouldn’t bother with them.
So, a bigger question arose.
What could be worth them taking such risks?
Families like the Phoenix Family, which have lasted for thousands of years, have relatives spread across the whole continent, with most of their descendants not residing in the clan.
Whether they succeed this time or not, even if they do, they will face the furious counterattack from the surviving descendants of the Phoenix Family.
Since they made such plans, they must be certain that what they could obtain from the Phoenix Family would compensate for any losses they might face.
What exactly was it?
This reason, the system stated it could not find out either.
Gu Shengyin didn’t delay, rushing toward the Phoenix Family clan.
Meanwhile, within the Phoenix Family clan.
The lavish courtyard had already turned into a complete mess.
Led by Huang He, the two Mystic Saints of the Phoenix Family protected the surviving clan members behind them, angrily staring at the people in front.
Behind them was the Holy Land of the Phoenix Family clan, with no retreat left.
And ahead, were the predatory enemies.
Ancestor Huang He’s expression darkened: "Yin Jiao, why are you leading these people to attack my Phoenix Family clan?"
Despite his anger, he was genuinely puzzled.
The Phoenix Family clan had always been low-key; though disdainful of the Yin Family’s arrogant behavior, the two sides had never meddled in each other’s affairs, without any deep personal enmity.
