Outlaw

Swish!

The eighteen powerful men of the peacock clan in the immortal realm in the main hall took a step forward at the same time and looked at Xia Mengyao coldly. The rolling pressure was gradually released, and the entire hall was immediately filled with an icy chilling air.

The eyes of every powerful human immortal are filled with murderous intent.

The atmosphere became unprecedentedly tense.

Chao Peacock, who was standing in the chief position, narrowed his eyes slightly at this moment, with murderous intent surging: "Oh? Do you want me to Chao Peacock's head? It has been many years, I haven't heard such words. Hahaha!"

The air in the entire hall seemed to have been sucked out.

Gu Shaoyang was so frightened that cold sweat broke out all over his body, and he quickly stood up and expressed his position: "Master Chao Peacock, Xia Mengyao's words do not represent the meaning of my ancient Taoist sect. I personally agree with your meaning very much. I will go back now and report to my elder brother immediately."

"I believe that Taishang Daoxue will definitely agree with your opinion."

After saying that, Gu Shaoyang ran away.

On the one hand, he felt that Chao Peacock's strength was far beyond his imagination, and on the other hand, he felt that Xia Mengyao had offended Chao Peacock. If the peacock gets angry, he may be implicated.

Thirty-six strategies, walking is the best strategy.

However, before he could reach the door, he was stopped by the Great Protector.

Gu Shaoyang was startled and panicked. He no longer had the same arrogant posture as before: "Great Protector, I am going back to Taishang Taoism to convey the meaning of Master Peacock."

The Great Protector said coldly: "It's still very early, so don't be in a hurry."

Gollum!

Gu Shaoyang swallowed and stepped back helplessly, not daring to say anything more.

Deng Deng Deng!

Chao Peacock stepped on the steps of disowning his relatives, slowly sat down on the high platform, and walked towards Xia Mengyao step by step: "Is this your personal intention or the Taiqing Palace's intention?"

The seemingly calm voice actually contained an infinite sense of oppression.

Even if Xiao Beichen was standing not far away, he could feel the smell of suffocation.

What's more, what kind of pressure should Xia Mengyao face in this situation?

But the woman in green didn't show any flicker. She met Chao Peacock's gaze coldly: "What I mean is what Taiqing Palace means. There is no difference!"

Chao Peacock continued to walk slowly: "This is unreasonable. I intend to submit to the Ancient Taoist Sect. After reestablishing the Daqian Dynasty, I still vigorously promote the Taoist Qi Refining Technique. The Ancient Taoist Sect has always been aloof and does not care about the affairs of the secular dynasty. How can I disagree? ?”

"Little girl, don't put your personal emotions above the Dao Sect. I am familiar with many of your elders in Taiqing Palace. If you can't talk, it will be the same if I talk to someone else."

Xia Mengyao said with great certainty: "I am the Palace Master of Taiqing Palace, and you can do the same with other people in Taiqing Palace!"

He asked the peacock, "Why?"

Xia Mengyao said: "It has nothing to do with interests, only trust. Because you once led the Daqian Dynasty to launch a war against my ancient Taoist sect. You even caused great trauma to my Taoist sect. A person who betrayed the Taoist sect, what do you think? Will Taiqing Palace cooperate with him again?"

As soon as these words came out, Chao Peacock fell silent.

Obviously, it hurts.

People in the surrounding worship hall and priest hall also felt very nervous.

If there was only Xia Mengyao standing here, the Peacock clan would not feel much pressure.

However, behind Xia Mengyao... stood the entire Jiutian Taiqing Palace.

Who dares to do anything to this woman?

Chao Peacock and Xia Mengyao looked at each other for a long time.

Finally, he suppressed his anger toward Peacock and smiled slightly: "What you said is all in the past. One hundred, fifty or sixty years have passed, and the grudges have passed. People will change too."

"Why don't we sit down and talk?"

Xia Mengyao said: "Okay."

Chao Peacock breathed a sigh of relief, then waved his hand: "Step back from the Priest Hall and Enshrinement Hall. Xia Mengyao, please follow me!"

She only called Xia Mengyao.

As for Gu Shaoyang, he didn’t say much at all.

The Taishang Taoism behind Gu Shaoyang is indeed powerful.

But Gu Shaoyang cannot represent Taishang Taoism.

Xia Mengyao is different, she is the master of Taiqing Palace. The words give people a flavor that can represent the entire Taiqing Palace.

As for Xiao Beichen, Chao Peacock never took another look.

At this moment, Xia Mengyao suddenly pointed at Xiao Beichen: "He must be with me."

Chao Peacock just glanced at Xiao Beichen lightly, and then made his decision: "Okay. Let's go together then!"

In this way, Xiao Beichen and Xia Mengyao followed Chao Peacock through the back door of the ancestral hall, followed a corridor, passed through several courtyards, and finally stopped in the deepest courtyard at the end.

Chao Kongque seemed to be very familiar with this place. After entering the courtyard, his mood improved a lot: "This is the place where I retreat all year round. Except for the high priest and the high worshipper, no third person can enter. Today, I invite You come here to discuss important matters."

Xia Mengyao didn't say anything, just raised her head and looked around.

Xiao Beichen also looked at it curiously.

This is a very grand courtyard, very old.

When Xiao Beichen saw the ancient house of the Peacock clan for the first time, he felt that the ancient house had a history of thousands of years.

But this courtyard seems to be independent of the entire ancient house, and the sense of vicissitudes of time flowing from it is even more ancient. Like a real old man who has been sleeping for many years, possessing indescribable mysteries and sediments.

Chao Peacock seemed to notice Xiao Beichen's curiosity, and explained while leading the way: "This is a relic left from ancient times. The ancestors of my Peacock clan discovered this station thousands of years ago. From then on, we regarded this place as ours." The place where the Peacock Clan settled. For thousands of years, we, the Peacock Clan, have been studying the secrets of this ancient ruins all the time. But the results are not very good!"

"Please!"

Chao Peacock took the initiative to lower his posture, probably intending to talk to his peers Xia Mengyao and Xiao Beichen.

After entering the living room, Chao Peacock took the initiative to make tea for Xiao Beichen and the two of them and started chatting.

He even started to make family arrangements for the first time. She was especially concerned about Xia Mengyao's many things and was very kind.

Xia Mengyao couldn't bear it: "Chao Peacock, you'd better say it directly. There's no need to beat around the bush like this."

He smiled at the peacock and said: "Xia Mengyao is indeed a cheerful person. In this case. Then I will point it out directly. I know the problem you just mentioned is indeed a very serious problem. But this time I surrender to the Taoist sect sincerely. So. I would like to ask the Lord of the Palace to help me, the Peacock Clan, say a few words of kindness to the Taiqing Palace to promote this cooperation."

It turns out that this is the real intention of Chao Peacock.

At this moment, Xiao Beichen suddenly realized that although the Peacock clan was powerful, they still kept their posture low in front of the Taiqing Palace.

Obviously, Taiqing Palace is the most terrifying existence.

Even the peacock clan must bow their knees.

Xia Mengyao said: "How do you want to talk?"

Chao Peacock said: "I was once severely injured by the Wuse Palace of the Taiqing Palace. At that time, the Supreme Qing Emperor was not born yet, but the elders of other clans in the Taiqing Palace complained a lot about me. If the Lord of the Palace can stand up Help me resolve the conflict between the two parties. Except for my head, you can raise any other conditions. I agree to them all!"

Xiao Beichen didn't expect Chao Peacock to be so courageous.

What conditions can be raised?

Is the deterrent power of Taiqing Palace so terrifying?

Didn't Xia Mengyao say before that she would come to the imperial capital and fight to the death with the Peacock clan again?

Why did the Peacock clan become intimidated before the battle even started?

This is not reasonable.

Xia Mengyao held a cup of tea and drank it lightly.

After a while, Xiao Beichen turned to look at Xiao Beichen: "I don't have any requests, what do you want to ask for?"

Xiao Beichen said: "Chao Peacock, what is the origin of this ancient ruins?"

Chao Peacock said: "As we all know, the ancient era is an era after the ancient times. The rise of the human race only appeared in the middle and late ancient times. But before the rise of the human race, there was an era when demons, dragons and fierce beasts dominated the world. That was the real time. A group of demons are dancing wildly. The human race cannot participate at all."

Xiao Beichen: "You continue!"

Chao Peacock said: "The demons are dancing wildly, and the monster clan is rampant. The strongest among them are the four ancient and alien beasts. The most famous ones are the real dragon and the phoenix. What we are at now is actually the relic left by the ancient phoenix. There are hidden treasures here. Phoenix true fire, and countless phoenix powers. That’s why the aura of my peacock clan’s residence is so rich. It can support the masters who create the realm of land gods.”

Phoenix ruins!

This was the first time Xiao Beichen heard such remarks, and his whole body felt numb.

Although Xiao Beichen has never seen Phoenix, he has heard related legends.

The phoenix and the true dragon have always been synonymous.

Since ancient times, emperors have called themselves the True Dragon Emperor, and queens... have called themselves the Phoenix Nine Heavens.

Many things passed down from ancient times are actually not groundless.

Seeing that Xiao Beichen didn't speak, Chao Peacock continued: "Speaking of which, my Peacock clan can be regarded as Queen of the Phoenix. However, we are not the real Phoenix clan. Our bloodline was diluted and racial mutations were added. In the end, we became Peacock. The real Phoenix bloodline is better than the Phoenix clan. My peacock clan is much stronger."

Xiao Beichen asked: "Isn't that right? Although the strength of the nine ancestral dragons is very strong, they were suppressed by the powerful Tiangong realm masters of Fumen thousands of years ago. Is the Phoenix even more powerful than the nine ancestral dragons?"

He said to Peacock, "Of course."

what?

Is the phoenix more powerful than the nine ancestral dragons?

It's impossible, right?

Xiao Beichen was a little hypoxic!

Chao Peacock continued: "The nine ancestral dragons cannot actually be considered real dragons. They are differentiated and bred from a Yinglong. Yinglong is the real Dragon God of Daxia. It is also the original dragon of Daxia! And The Phoenix does not have so many differentiations and twists and turns. The Phoenix corresponds to Yinglong. It is an existence of the same level."

These words really shocked Xiao Beichen.

Phoenix directly corresponds to Yinglong!

This……

I can't think of anything else.

In fact, the Nine Ancestral Dragons are already very strong.

The reason why I didn't think it was that powerful before was mainly because the ancestral dragon had dragon patterns carved on it. Power is limited. Later, after Xiao Beichen was stripped of the dragon pattern, he truly felt the power of the ancestral dragon.

Zulong is very strong!

But it's not a real dragon yet.

Yinglong is the one!

And Phoenix... can be completely comparable to Yinglong.

Xiao Beichen's breathing sped up a lot.

However, what Xiao Beichen didn't notice was that Xia Mengyao on the side listened calmly from beginning to end. It seemed that such a story was nothing too surprising to her.

Xiao Beichen calmed down and asked deeply: "Is there a phoenix in this backyard?"

Chao Peacock said: "There is a phoenix skeleton. There is also the phoenix true fire. It has existed for thousands of years. For these thousands of years, it is this phoenix true fire that has been protecting and nourishing my peacock clan. Unfortunately, the people of my peacock clan cannot absorb this phoenix true fire. It’s also impossible to use the Phoenix skeleton.”

"But, this is the biggest secret of our Peacock clan. If Palace Master Xia Mengyao is willing to help mediate the conflict between our Peacock clan and the ancient Taoist sect... I can give you the Phoenix true fire and bones. But the premise is... you It must be able to be absorbed and utilized. If an accident occurs and life is in danger, I won’t care.”

Xiao Beichen took a deep breath.

Only now did he understand the true purpose of this old thing called Chao Peacock.

Xiao Beichen turned to look at Xia Mengyao: "What did you say?"

Xia Mengyao said: "I think Chao Peacock is very sincere."

Xiao Beichen: "..."

its not right……

You are not such a person.

Why did the style of painting suddenly change?

But Xiao Beichen didn't say much.

He has achieved more than half of his purpose here. Next came the conflict between the Peacock clan and the Taiqing Palace. It's not easy for Xiao Beichen to interfere. The only thing he can do is...if Chao Kongque wants to do something bad to Xia Mengyao, just do it directly and be done with it.

Xia Mengyao suddenly stood up: "Chao Peacock, if you are willing to hand over the Phoenix True Fire and Phoenix Bones, I can help you and allow you to submit to the Ancient Taoist Sect."

Chao Peacock said seriously: "Are you sure you can make the decision?"

Xia Mengyao said firmly: "I am the Palace Master of Taiqing Palace, and I keep my word."

Chao Peacock said: "Okay, I will take you to the cave of the Phoenix Ruins now. Follow me!"

Chao Kongque was also a nimble person. He immediately led Xiao Beichen and two others out of the backyard, passed through a large deserted square, and finally entered the entrance of a large cave.

Just standing at the entrance of the cave, Xiao Beichen felt that it was filled with the tyrannical power of the Phoenix!

Surpassing the nine great ancestral dragons, he can even compete with the power of Yinglong Fire.

Very strong!

Suffocating!

Chao Peacock said: "The Phoenix ruins are inside, you go in. In any case, when you come out, the grievances between our Peacock clan and the ancient Taoist sect have been resolved. If you die in it, it has nothing to do with me."

Xia Mengyao said calmly: "Okay."

After saying that, Xia Mengyao took Xiao Beichen and walked into the cave.

The Chao Peacock stood calmly at the entrance of the cave, looking calm.

Not long after, a woman in white and an old man in blood came over.

The woman in the white cloak is the high priest of the Peacock clan.

And the other old man wearing a bloody cloak is the great worshiper of the Peacock clan.

These two people can be regarded as Chao Peacock's right-hand men.

The high priest said: "Master Peacock, do you really let Xia Mengyao enter the Phoenix Ruins? What if they get the treasures and inheritance inside? It will be very detrimental to my Peacock clan."

The great worshiper said: "That's right. This Phoenix relic is the highest treasure of our Peacock clan. It must not be passed on to outsiders."

Ha ha!

Chao Peacock smiled faintly and said: "They can't take away the relics inside. They will either die inside or return empty-handed. Our Peacock clan has just emerged from the mountain not long ago, and we are still unable to fight against the ancient Taoist sect. We need some time to prepare. . It is very important for us to ease the conflicts between the two sides."

Even so, the high priest and the high priest still felt an unspeakable sadness.

Chao Peacock smiled lightly and said: "Open up the situation. Now everyone from the Chenzhou League has come to the imperial capital. Lu Pao'er even took action personally and had a fight with me. This person's strength is too tyrannical. We, the Peacock clan, We cannot face the Ancient Dao Sect and the Chenzhou Alliance at the same time. Once we take care of the Chenzhou Alliance, it will be time to decide life and death with the Ancient Dao Sect again."

After hearing this, the high priest and the high priest breathed a sigh of relief.

"Master Peacock is still thoughtful. We will listen to you in everything!"

“We are very relieved to have someone who is working on the project to plan the project!”

Chao Peacock breathed a sigh of relief: "What's more, only people with Phoenix bloodline, or people with similar bloodline, can get the inheritance of Phoenix. It's impossible for the two of them... Don't worry."

……

Xiao Beichen and Xia Mengyao walked along the cave.

The power of the Phoenix that filled the surroundings became more and more intense.

Xiao Beichen said: "Why did you agree to Chao Peacock's proposal? He just doesn't dare to face the Chenzhou League and the Ancient Taoist Sect at the same time, so he wants to ease the conflict with your Taiqing Palace. This kind of person is evil-minded. Wait until they deal with it. If we find out about the Chenzhou Alliance, we will immediately use our hands to deal with you."

Xia Mengyao: "I know."

Xiao Beichen was surprised: "Then you return it?"

Xia Mengyao looked back and smiled: "Because I came here for the Phoenix True Fire and Bones."

Xiao Beichen suddenly realized that something was not right.

Xia Mengyao... also started to become wealthy.

Xia Mengyao continued: "When I said I wanted her head before, it was just to make the matter more serious. In the end, it was for bargaining."

Xiao Beichen said: "Then what is the attitude of your Taiqing Palace towards the peacock?"

Xia Mengyao said as she hurried on: "Are you worried that I have violated the will of Taiqing Palace and cannot explain to the superiors?"

Xiao Beichen said: "Yes!"

Xia Mengyao shook her head: "Don't worry. In fact, the attitude of my Taiqing Palace... is that I have no attitude."

Xiao Beichen was stunned: "No attitude?"

Xia Mengyao said: "In other words, my attitude is... the attitude of Taiqing Palace."

Xiao Beichen shook his head: "I don't understand."

snort!

Xia Mengyao snorted: "You are just an idiot."

Xiao Beichen scratched his head and didn't know what to say.

Xia Mengyao continued: "You don't think like the people outside, I, the master of the Taiqing Palace, am the puppet of the Supreme Qing Emperor, do you?"

Xiao Beichen felt a little horrified in his heart: "Isn't it...isn't it?"

Xia Mengyao shook his head: "Do you think that with my personality, I will become a puppet? I will become the Taiqing Palace, not because I care about the title. But because of... the responsibility on my shoulders. And my ability. Too In the Qing Palace and under the Wose Palace, I am the number one person. The Wose Palace doesn’t care about things. So, in the Taiqing Palace... I have the final say."

This was said a bit implicitly.

But Xiao Beichen got the key - Xia Mengyao is very, very strong. It might be beyond Xiao Beichen's estimation and imagination. She can control the entire Taiqing Palace.

This……

Xiao Beichen stared blankly at the beautiful woman in front of him, speechless for a long time.

Xia Mengyao pulled Xiao Beichen: "You idiot, don't be in a daze. Let's go. Find the Phoenix True Fire and the Bones. If I get these two things, I can... attack the Colorless Palace!"

She said something that made Xiao Beichen's scalp tingle.

At this moment, Xiao Beichen suddenly realized that he didn't understand Xia Mengyao very well.

This woman is so mysterious.

What to do?

The two of them walked to the end of the cave and saw the remains of the Phoenix.

In the huge stone chamber, a huge phoenix skeleton stood in the center.

Although there are only bones left, the grace and aura displayed by this phoenix are still shuddering. Even a powerful being like Xiao Beichen felt insignificant when facing this phoenix skeleton.

"This is the skeleton of the phoenix, it's really strong!"

"Hey, there is a golden flame at the core of the Phoenix skeleton. Is this the real fire of the Phoenix?"

Xia Mengyao nodded: "That's right. This is the top secret for the prosperity and strength of the Peacock Clan. My ancient Taoist sect has tried to take away these two things many times and failed. This time because the Chenzhou Alliance has brought huge pressure to the Peacock Clan. .They were finally willing to give up such an opportunity."

Xiao Beichen circled around the phoenix skeleton and finally said: "This phoenix skeleton is too terrifying. Can you really take it away?"

Xia Mengyao said: "You can't do it by force. The Peacock clan has a small amount of Phoenix blood in their bodies, and they can absorb some of the secrets of the Phoenix's true body. But their blood is too thin to take away these two things. Unless they have the true Phoenix blood. Only those who are qualified can take away these two things.”

Xiao Beichen finally realized something: "You...can take it away?"

Xia Mengyao nodded: "Chao Peacock knew that it would take someone with Phoenix blood to take it away. She also expected that we would fail. But she was wrong..."

"Because I have pure Phoenix bloodline in my body!"

hiss!

Xiao Beichen took a breath of air and looked at Xia Mengyao blankly.

It was as if he was meeting this woman for the first time.

Pure Phoenix bloodline... doesn't that mean Xia Mengyao...
