Lin Yi stroked his chin, no wonder that after this person showed up, even a Demon Clan’s Heavenly Pride like Jingangzi showed a wary expression and chose to keep a low profile.
For the Demon Clan, especially the Royal Family, their lifespans are much longer than those of the Human Clan; seventy years is not considered very long for them.
Moreover, after being cryogenically frozen, the speed at which life passes greatly slows down. Even if someone has been frozen for seventy years, to the one frozen it might only feel like a few years have passed.
However, just as the four Peacock Clan Venerables were looking solemnly at Luan Yu, Lin Yi made a remark that almost made them faint, "I’ve only been frozen for fifty years, and this guy has been frozen for seventy? Isn’t that twenty years more than me?"
This kid really has his own way of doing things, even his focus is different from others!
At this moment, with a "swoosh," a Demon Clan powerhouse couldn’t contain himself and attempted to rush into the Ancient Hall!
But just as he reached the entrance, he was engulfed by a cyan flame that descended from the sky, turning the Demon Clan powerhouse into charred ash.
"This Ancient Hall will be explored first by my Qingluan Clan. Everyone else, stay back!"
The azure flame was precisely released by Luan Yu, who landed in front of the Ancient Hall, already regarding this Phoenix relic as his personal property.
"Damn it! Too domineering!"
Someone in the crowd displayed their resentment. They had entered the Phoenix Ancient Nest, of course, for the Phoenix, and now that the Phoenix was right before their eyes, the Qingluan Clan was blocking their entry—how could anyone tolerate that?
But just as the words left his mouth, his body was enveloped by a cyan flame and burned to a pile of fly ash!
"Anyone else disobeying?"
Luan Yu looked at everyone with a smile, causing all to change color and remain angrily silent.
This person was too brutal; at this time, whoever dared to take action was seeking death.
"I’ve heard that there’s also a Heavenly Pride from the Peacock Clan who has been cryogenically frozen for many years, having once slaughtered the Jiuyou Netherworld Snake Clan, with a terrifying reputation. He surely won’t sit back and allow the Qingluan Clan to monopolize the Ancient Nest!"
A Demon Clan powerhouse whispered stealthily, prompting nods from many others. At that moment, all eyes focused on Lin Yi, clearly hoping that he would stand up to confront the Qingluan Clan.
"Lin Yun, you mustn’t act rashly!"
Several Peacock Clan Venerables immediately sent a telepathic message to Lin Yi. However, they were not encouraging Lin Yi to take action, but rather urging him to abandon the thought, considering that the Qingluan Clan was one of the top Royal Families, which once had the status of the Imperial Family in the Demon Beast World—an emaciated camel is still bigger than a horse and not comparable to the Jiuyou Netherworld Snake Clan.
Unexpectedly, Lin Yi replied with a smile, "Don’t worry. This youngster has been frozen for twenty years longer than I. He must have some strength; I have no plans to clash with him."
However, this statement made those four individuals feel astonished, as it didn’t sound like something Lin Yi would say.
Seeing that Lin Yi did not take action, Luan Yu then snorted coldly, "Good that you know your place, boy; otherwise, I wouldn’t mind killing another!"
Lin Yi’s so-called "distinguished" record didn’t count for much in his eyes. Although both belonging to Royal Families of the Demon Beast World, how could the Jiuyou Netherworld Snake Clan compare with their Qingluan Clan—they weren’t even fit to carry their shoes.
Lin Yi’s behavior definitely disappointed many clan powerhouses, who had fully expected this Demon King, who had decimated the Nine Netherworld Snake, to stand up at this moment and contend with the Qingluan Clan, allowing them to profit from the chaos. They never imagined the opponent would shrink back like a turtle!
Such a young Demon King, merely an empty name!
Many cursed inwardly.
Among the people, only Jingangzi was puzzled. Lin Yi’s behavior was indeed abnormal. A man who dared to confront Jin Lie head-on, how could he possibly fear a Luan Yu?
Lin Yi must have a scheme in mind!
Actually, Lin Yi’s thought process was very simple. Could the Phoenix Relic be that easy to obtain? There were surely great dangers ahead; since the Qingluan Clan was willing to take the lead and scout for dangers, why wouldn’t he take advantage of that?
He didn’t understand why he should jump out at this time.
Led by Luan Yu, the Blue Bird Clan was the first to enter the Ancient Hall, with other clan powerhouses following closely behind. They had to seize the opportunity of this place before other clan experts arrived!
As expected, there were many fortunes to be found inside the Ancient Hall. After entering, the Qingluan Clan discovered several broken pieces of Weapons and Armor, and Magic Artifacts, but all were already in fragments.
However, even as mere fragments, they made Luan Yu and the others’ eyes shine brightly because these were weapons and equipment once used by Phoenix. Although shattered, they still were scarce Holy Materials with immense value.
"These are all my Qingluan Clan’s, seize them quickly!"
Luan Yu immediately ordered the Qingluan Clan’s Venerables to act and plunder the broken weapons on the ground.
Unexpectedly, just as they moved, a Prohibition was suddenly triggered. Black flames sprayed out without any warning, turning one of the Qingluan Clan’s Venerables to ash.
"Not good, there’s a Prohibition here, everyone stop!"
Luan Yu’s face changed dramatically, the power of this Prohibition was extremely terrible, instantly killing one of their Qingluan Clan’s Venerables, leaving no trace of a corpse.
