The door to the front of the courtyard was opened, and a woman walked in. She slowly put away the clothes in the courtyard, and the silver jewelry hanging from her waist made a tinkling sound as she moved.
Xia Muqing and the rest were pressed tightly against the wall. It was a small blind spot. The woman couldn’t see them from the courtyard, but if she turned around, she would spot them.
The woman put away all her clothes and turned to walk back into the house. Xia Muqing and the others took the opportunity to quickly change their hiding spot and avoided the woman’s vision once again.
After the woman left the backyard, a horn suddenly blared outside.
The woman quickly threw her clothes down and scrambled towards the sound of the horn with an ecstatic expression.
Xia Muqing and the rest couldn’t figure it out, but it was a good opportunity.
The few of them quickly ran towards the place where the Phoenix Clan was imprisoned.
Along the way, everyone from the Goddess Clan could be seen running towards the direction of the sound of the horn. Everyone looked ecstatic.
Xia Muqing led the Azure Cloud Eagle couple to the destination first. Jin Chao and Jiang Yifan rushed over with Radiant Sun and the black eagle.
The Azure Cloud Eagle couple, who had been overjoyed to unite with their son, turned furious when they saw the black eagle’s miserable state, especially its eyes.
They immediately wanted to fight the Goddess Clan members.
Xia Muqing advised, “For now we can only make our escape. Otherwise, we will only be sending ourselves to our deaths.”
The black eagle also comforted its parents before the group quickly left through the passageway the Phoenix Clan leader had told them about.
After leaving that place, Xia Muqing looked at the island in the distance. She was very concerned about the strange behavior of the Goddess Clan earlier on. She had a feeling that something bad was happening. And that Magus God…
What was that?
Jin Chao stepped forward and held her hand. “It’s okay. It’s not too late for us to worry later.”
Xia Muqing tried to retract her hand but she didn’t manage to. Glancing at the people behind who were waiting to watch a good show, her face heated up. “Be careful. Let go of me quickly.”
Jin Chao didn’t want to push her too hard, so he let go.
They didn’t get too far before spotting a group of phoenixes resting on an island in the distance. They actually hadn’t left.
The little phoenix circling the sky spotted them and swooped down in surprise.
Xia Muqing caught its little body and poked its nose with a grin. “Why haven’t you guys left?”
The leader of the phoenix clan also flew to them and said, “We’re worried, so we waited for you here.”
On their journey back, the Azure Cloud Eagle couple carried the black eagle on their backs while Xia Muqing and the others sat on the phoenixes. This time, their journey back was much faster. Two days later, they landed in the depths of the Sunset Mountains, where the phoenix clan’s residence was.
The phoenixes looked at their ruined home and became a little sorrowful. Especially their parasol trees, which had practically accompanied them since they were young. Now, they were burnt to ashes.
Xia Muqing patted the little phoenix in her palm and said, “It’s okay. As long as we’re all here, we can rebuild our home.”
The leader also stepped forward to encourage them. “That’s right. We’ll plant the trees again. One day, the parasol trees will return to us.”
Jiang Yifan added, “As long as the roots of these parasol trees aren’t damaged, they can be reborn.”
The phoenixes were all surprised to hear this. As the companion of the parasol trees, they had never heard of such a thing.
Jiang Yifan said, “Ordinary parasol trees naturally can’t, but these trees have absorbed your flame energy all year round. You have the ability to undergo nirvana and be reborn, so they naturally can do the same.”
The phoenixes cheered.
Jiang Yifan began to teach the phoenixes how to resurrect the parasol trees. Xia Muqing led the Azure Cloud Eagles to an empty spot and continued to treat the black eagle’s eyes.
