Chapter 456 - The Red Phoenix, Who Was Overly Cautious
Chapter 456: The Red Phoenix, Who Was Overly Cautious
At this moment, the Semi-god Realm warriors on the entire Continent were stunned.
All the warriors were staring at the tribulation clouds.
“What happened? Another emperor-level warrior died!”
“Where did so many emperor-level warriors come from?”
“Something big is going to happen!”
In the Dragon Clan, the Five-clawed Golden Dragon was watching the heavenly tribulation from afar.
Although he did not know what was going on, something big was going to happen.
The fall of the emperor-level experts one after another was not a good sign.
“Patriarch…”
At this moment, the voice of a dragon steward came from outside the newly built hall.
“What’s the matter?”
The Five-clawed Golden Dragon glanced at him and asked impatiently.
“The Black Dragon King’s soul tablet has been broken and his soul flicker has been extinguished.”
The Five-clawed Golden Dragon was suddenly shocked.
After being stunned for a moment, he let out a long breath and a complicated look flashed across his eyes.
After a long while, he slowly asked, “When did this happen?”
“A few days ago!”
“Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”
The Five-clawed Golden Dragon’s eyes bulged.
The Black Dragon King was dead.
He died a few days ago.
It seemed like he died after entering Mount Wutong.
He was killed by a Phoenix Clan expert?
Was this a warning?
“Patriarch, you’ve been busy these few days and I can’t disturb you with such a small matter. Many Elders hid in the Forbidden Grounds and didn’t go out, so…”
“I understand. If there’s such a thing in the future, report it directly. There’s no need to look for any elders. Also, keep a close watch on the Hall of Soul Tablets. We have to understand every single life and death moment of the Dragon Clan’s seedlings. It hasn’t been peaceful these past few years!”
The Five-clawed Golden Dragon instructed.
The steward left.
The Five-clawed Golden Dragon raised his head again and stared at the tribulation clouds in the distance that were unwilling to leave for a long time, deep in thought.
Things had exceeded his expectations.
Everything was out of his control.
Were those emperor-level experts who were killed by the Thunder Tribulation really Phoenix experts?
Why were they killed one after another?
“Patriarch!”
The White Dragon King walked into the hall.
“You saw the heavenly tribulation too. We didn’t expect the death of Qing Luan. After Qing Luan, which clan’s emperor-level expert was it?”
The Five-clawed Golden Dragon stared at the White Dragon King.
Although he guessed in his heart, he still needed more guesses.
“I think it’s still the Phoenix Clan. Other than the Phoenix Clan, there aren’t so many emperor-level experts in the world.”
The White Dragon King said without hesitation.
The Five-clawed Golden Dragon nodded.
The White Dragon King’s guess was the same as his guess.
There were no other experts apart from the Phoenix Clan.
Moreover, these few experts who died under the heavenly tribulation appeared after he sent the Black Dragon King to find the Phoenix Clan.
This meant that the Phoenix Clan had sent more than one expert.
“All three of them died under the heavenly tribulation. Sigh!”
The Five-clawed Golden Dragon shook his head.
“The Phoenix Clan hasn’t left the mountain for many years. After they came out, they felt that no one in the world could match them. It was inevitable that they would be careless and be used by the human experts to die under the heavenly tribulation.”
The White Dragon King said.
He had felt the sword will before and after the three heavenly tribulations descended.
Even though it was illusory.
That sword will have only been seen on the Ancestor of the Xuantian Sect.
However, the Ancestor of the Xuantian Sect had used some kind of technique to avoid the heavenly tribulations’ detection.
“If it was one or two, it would be fine. But this is the third one. No matter how careless the experts of the Phoenix Clan are, they wouldn’t be targeted by the heavenly tribulations one after another, right? Moreover, their concealment ability isn’t inferior to our Dragon Clan’s.”
The Five-clawed Golden Dragon said.
They were afraid, but they were afraid of certain situations that they did not understand yet.
One emperor-level expert was killed, then what about the next two?
“It should be that person from the Xuantian Sect!”
“Then why can’t the heavenly tribulations catch that person from the Xuantian Sect?” the Five-clawed Golden Dragon questioned.
“That’s the problem.”
“Sigh, I wonder if the Phoenix Clan will send out experts again?”
“Patriarch, are you worried that the Phoenix Clan’s experts will fall one after another under the heavenly tribulation and the other experts won’t be willing to come out?” the White Dragon King asked.
“If we were on the Phoenix Clan’s side, what would you do?”
“This… Patriarch, I think we should inform the Phoenix Clan of what happened outside. After they understand the situation, they definitely won’t send out any more careless experts.”
“Who should we send to inform them?” the Five-clawed Golden Dragon asked. Seeing that the White Dragon King seemed to have opened his mouth, he said, “The Black Dragon King is already dead. I’m afraid he died in the mouth of the Phoenix Clan.”
“What? The Black Dragon King is dead!”
The Black Dragon King was dead.
Then who should they send?
If the Black Dragon King was not dead, there might still be experts who were willing to head to Mount Wutong.
But the Black Dragon King was dead.
Originally, the experts were not in the mood to head to Mount Wutong. Now, who would have the courage to send themselves to their deaths?
The matter had fallen into trouble.
At a certain mountain peak in the Shining Heaven Territory.
The Red Phoenix’s eyes became even more cautious when she saw Qing Luan and Fire Glass being killed by the heavenly tribulation.
“Should I go back and inform them of the situation, or continue to inquire?”
Hesitation!
It was too dangerous outside.
If she returned now, she would not receive any punishment based on the information regarding the death of Qing Luan and Fire Glass.
However, she still didn’t understand many of the things that the Fire Phoenix had told her.
At the very least, she had to find out about the situation of the various major factions in the world before returning.
“Sigh, be careful. If there’s really something wrong, return immediately.”
After thinking about it, she felt that she should find out more.
It wasn’t easy to come out once.
In the mountains, a gorgeous little bird flew past.
It flew toward the beasts.
Two months later, the little bird entered the beasts’ territory.
It let out a light breath and continued to move forward.
Plop! Plop!
The sparrowhawk hovering in the sky seemed to have discovered something and pounced toward the little bird.
Pa!
The sparrowhawk pounced over, and the little bird flapped its wings and sent the sparrowhawk flying.
Worried that its aura would leak out, the little bird did not dare to use any strength, much less use its vital essence.
The sparrowhawk was sent flying and did not suffer any injuries.
Chirp!
The sparrowhawk that was sent flying was furious.
A little bird actually dared to counterattack and even sent it flying.
His pride was damaged.
How was it going to survive in this mountain in the future?
It turned around in the air and pounced toward the little bird.
Pa!
It was sent flying again.
Chirp!
The sparrowhawk was furious this time.
It flew toward the little bird without any regard for its life.
“Are you done yet?!”
The Red Phoenix cried out in her heart.
That was depressing!
If it wasn’t for the fact that she was afraid of the heavenly tribulation and was afraid of being discovered by the experts of this world, she would have smacked this scoundrel to death long ago.
When the sparrowhawk pounced over again, the Red Phoenix couldn’t bear it any longer.
Her claws faced upwards, revealing her sharp nails.
Pfft!
A claw tore open the sparrowhawk’s head.
Chirp!
A miserable cry reverberated in the mountains.
The sparrowhawk’s carcass fell.
The Red Phoenix looked up at the sky.
“Fortunately, the heavenly tribulation wasn’t disturbed.”
If she revealed a trace of her aura at this time, she would be finished.
Even if she hid her tracks again, she would be hunted down after being discovered by that human emperor-level expert.
“How did that human expert hide under the heavenly tribulation?”
The Red Phoenix had been thinking about this question along the way.
Qing Luan and Fire Glass were both blocked by the sword qi.
One of the culprits behind the deaths of the two Phoenix Clan experts was obviously this human emperor-level expert.
“Could it be that the emperor-level expert has joined forces with the Heaven Path to murder the Demon Clan’s emperor-level expert everywhere? If that’s the case, wouldn’t the Demon Clans be in great danger? No wonder the Dragon Clan requested for help.”
The Red Phoenix muttered.
Flapping its wings, it continued to fly forward.
“No, let’s first find out if the expert who used sword intent is human. Also, let’s find out if our Demon Clan emperor-level expert has fallen.”
Chirp chirp!
The Red Phoenix hadn’t flown far when another sparrowhawk pounced from the sky.
“How annoying!”
The Red Phoenix said impatiently, flipping over and grabbing the sparrowhawk’s head off.
She flew for another two days.
When she reached a mountain ridge, a few similar red male birds chased after the Red Phoenix and howled incessantly.
The Red Phoenix was annoyed by the noise.
She had originally hidden her cultivation to avoid the heavenly tribulation.
She did not expect that there would be so much trouble.
