Nantian Xiulan wiped the tears out of her eyes and said in a trembling voice. "I understand, My Lord. I will definitely go to your side."
The Divine Phoenix didn't say anything further. She glanced at the prosperous Divine Phoenix Palace with a hint of emotion.
When she first arrived here with a grievous wound, she had no intention of creating a force. It wasn't until she met a kind young woman, who later became the founder of the Divine Phoenix Palace, did she decide to leave her legacy here.
As time passed, she gradually regarded them as her own kind and realized it was her best decision. Even if she died in the future, her bloodline would continue at the very least.
Unfortunately, she couldn't save that young woman in the end.
Nantian Xiulan grew up under the Divine Phoenix's kindness. Her life had nothing but the Divine Phoenix Palace.
As the second-generation Divine Phoenix Palace Master, she had witnessed everything the Divine Phoenix did for everyone. Although the Divine Phoenix might look lofty in everyone's eyes, her care for them was unquestionable.
Nantian Xiulan was also aware that the Divine Phoenix would eventually leave for the Divine Realm one day, and she vowed to follow her and serve her until the end of her life.
At this moment, Nantian Fengyu walked over and asked. "Can I go now?"
The Divine Phoenix glanced at her and said. "Still angry?"
"Hmph!" Nantian Fengyu snorted coldly and said nothing.
She had been practicing diligently because she thought Yun Lintian would fall into the enemy's hand like the vision the Divine Phoenix showed her before. However, everything didn't seem to be like that.
Although she was happy that nothing happened to Yun Lintian, she was still dissatisfied with the Divine Phoenix for preventing her from staying with her good junior brother.
"If I didn't show you that, would you become stronger in a short time like this?" The Divine Phoenix said with a faint smile. "Yun Lintian's progress speed isn't something anyone can chase after. He's destined to be the youngest God Emperor in history. At that time, do you think you can be with him?"
Nantian Fengyu pursed her lips, not knowing what to say.
"Even if you inherit the purest bloodline and possess the strongest Divine Phoenix Soul, it's still far from enough compared to him." The Divine Phoenix said further. "It's because I know your feelings for him that I don't want you to be left behind."
Nantian Fengyu went silent for a moment and said in a low voice. "Thank you."
The smile on the Divine Phoenix's face grew wider as she said. "Go ahead."
Nantian Fengyu hesitated briefly and asked. "Are you really leaving?"
"Why do you ask when you know the answer in your heart?" The Divine Phoenix said calmly.
Nantian Fengyu bit her lips with a tangled expression before saying. "Stay safe. Wait for me there."
As she finished her sentence, she turned around and left directly.
The Divine Phoenix stared at Nantian Fengyu's leaving back for a while and chuckled. "This little girl."
"Although she's a bit rebellious, I can see she genuinely cares about you, My Lord." Nantian Xiulan said with a smile.
The Divine Phoenix looked at her and said. "I'll leave her to you."
"Please rest assured." Nantian Xiulan said firmly.

"She actually… Alas, I don't understand why a woman like her falls for that irresponsible man." Master Bai watched as the dragon's roar dissipated with a sigh.
He turned to look at Yun Xia and said. "Her soul must be worse right now... In fact, you could have made a move, and she didn't have to do this at all."
Yun Xia calmly sipped a tea and asked. "Do you think she would allow me to do so?"
Master Bai opened his mouth, and no word came out.
Yun Xia looked at the clear sky and said further. "I always believe that our fate is in our hands, but I later discovered that sometimes we cannot defy it."
Master Bai let out a sigh and said in agreement. "You're right. As a practitioner, we are supposed to defy heaven and grasp our own fate. However, we are, in fact, too weak to do that… Even the Beyond Heaven King back then couldn't do it."
He turned to look at the sky and said further. "I don't know if that little guy can do what everyone failed to achieve in the end."
"He will." Yun Xia said calmly.
Master Bai was surprised to hear this, but he didn't ask further why she was confident about it.
"He's here." Yun Xia said as the skyship slowly emerged in the sky and descended upon the Heavenly Cloud Mountain.
"Grandma." Yun Lintian jumped out of the skyship with Linlin, Qingqing, and Yun Qianxue before landing not far away from Yun Xia.
"Senior Bai." Yun Lintian turned to greet Master Bai with a smile.
"Congratulations on successfully overcoming the tribulation." Master Bai said. "What are you going to do next?"
Yun Lintian responded. "I'll stay here for a few years to consolidate the foundation of my sect first."
"Well, not a bad idea." Master Bai nodded slightly. He glanced at Pan Zongying and Dai Ling and asked. "Why did you keep these little devils alive?"
Facing the white owl, Pan Zongying and Dai Ling felt as though they were looking at the God Emperor. When they heard Master Bai's question, their hearts sank immediately.
"They are the third-ranked Great Devil's disciples. Maybe they have some usages later." Yun Lintian replied casually.
"Oh? Mo Yan's disciples?" Master Bai looked at Pan Zongying and Dai Ling for a while and said. "Eternal Night Devil's bloodline and Calamitous Sound Demoness's bloodline… No wonder Mo Yan picks you two up."
Pan Zongying's heart shook upon hearing this. Her bloodline was extremely ancient that even many top devils might not be able to know it, but this white owl actually recognized it.
"Senior, are you the White Owl God Emperor?" Pan Zongying couldn't help asking.
Master Bai chuckled and asked. "Where is she now? She still owes me some debts."
Pan Zongying took a deep breath and said. "To tell Senior the truth, I have no idea as well. My Ancestor has been disappearing for more than ten thousand years."
"Oh?" Master Bai was slightly surprised. "Don't tell me she's running away? That's not right. With her personality, she shouldn't do that."
"Big Brother Yun!?" At this moment, Yun Niu ran over and shouted excitedly.
