At this moment, Qingcang also snapped out of his previous shock.
Before he could say a word, Feng Jing stepped forward. He pretended to dust off the non - existent ash on his sleeve and smiled faintly, "In that case, why not sacrifice this young Immortal Lord of the White Crow Clan to mark the occasion?"
For a moment, everyone looked at the white crow with evil looks in their eyes.
The White Crow Clan had always been domineering and invincible, relying on their control of the Heavenly River Estuary. Who would have thought they'd meet their match today?
Seeing these people approaching, the white crow's heart skipped a beat.
"Don't you forget that my White Crow Clan controls the Heavenly River. Do you dare to touch me?"
"Daddy, what are you waiting for?" Yaohua cooed as she crawled into Qingcang's arms. "The white crows always harass us, and this time they even threatened Uncle the Dragon King. Even if we report this to the Celestial Realm, we're in the right! Even a clay figurine has its limits!"
How could this guy be so blind to the situation? Even at this moment, he still dared to provoke them?
Chongming had intended to show himself, as internal strife among the seventy - two remaining clans in Shenzhou was not beneficial to the current situation. But then he remembered Yaohua's previous worry about her father and brother fighting. Looking at the cute way Yaohua was secretly covering her mouth and smiling with her back to the white crow, he suddenly stopped.
Forget it. The little phoenix is full of tricks. Let's see how she deals with this.
As soon as Yaohua finished speaking, she felt a cold gaze fixed on her.
She looked back, tears welling up in her eyes immediately. She buried her head in Qingcang's arms. "So scary! Daddy, that guy is glaring at me!"
Qingcang glared at the white crow menacingly. "Young Immortal Lord of the White Crow Clan, my daughter is just a child. Can't you even spare her?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Ling and the others surrounded the white crow.
"How dare I?" the white crow said grudgingly. "I was just joking with the two uncles just now. How could the uncles take it seriously?"
Let these people be arrogant for a while. Once he managed to escape safely, he would surely report this to his father and ask him to avenge him!
Yaohua let out a soft cry and turned her head. There were still tears in the corners of her eyes, and her nose was red. Her voice was nasally when she spoke, "Really? Then the Dragon King's people are guests in the White Crow Clan. Can this elder brother be our guest too?"
"Daddy always says we should reciprocate courtesy. Isn't it the same with being a guest?"
Qingcang was slightly taken aback, then burst out laughing. "Right. The young Immortal Lord of the White Crow Clan must not have tasted the Immortal Peaches for a long time. Why not stay in our Phoenix Clan as a guest for a few days? Otherwise, others might say our Phoenix Clan is stingy."
As he spoke, Yan Ling and the others had already taken out their magical weapons.
The white crow had been acting recklessly for a long time. He never thought he'd fall today. But now, being dragged in front of Qingcang, he could only force a smile. "Uncle the Phoenix King, what are you doing? Nephew just sincerely wanted to invite Uncle the Dragon King to be a guest."
However, the situation had taken a sudden turn. No matter how much the white crow tried to defend himself, it was of no use.
Qingcang stroked Yaohua's head. "Thanks to my little treasure. Otherwise, Daddy wouldn't have thought of this."
That white crow had only brought a few people with him and still dared to provoke the Phoenix Clan. How hateful!
But they were also restricted because the White Crow Clan controlled the Heavenly River. It was really frustrating.
Now that the white crow was in their hands, the White Crow Clan would be afraid to act rashly for fear of harming him.
"Brother Nanming is the smart one!" Yaohua shook her head. "If Brother Nanming hadn't mentioned fighting, I wouldn't have come up with this idea."
Nanming immediately felt an itch to ruffle her little hair bun.
The little girl was so cute, fragrant and soft, and so sweet - tongued. Who wouldn't like her?
At this moment, Chongming slowly revealed his figure.
Spiritual power surrounded him, and his expression was cold. Everyone lowered their heads when they saw him.
After all, it was they who had taken the initiative to start a fight just now.
Only Yaohua ran over with a big smile on her face. But before she could hug his leg, the white crow's voice rang out.
"Lord Chongming, save me!"
He tried to break free from Yan Ling and the others' hold, but Mo Qing quietly kicked him from behind. He fell at Chongming's feet. "Please, Lord, stand up for me! They outnumber me and want to kill me!"
Chongming had witnessed everything clearly just now. Since he hadn't intervened before, he wasn't going to meddle now either.
He just lowered his eyes and looked at Yaohua.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Qingcang quickly told his sons to take the white crow away.
Yaohua knew she had been willful just now. She quickly withdrew her hand and showed a well - behaved look. "Daddy God~"
Her childish voice was so sweet and soft that it was really hard to blame her.
Chongming sighed silently. "Don't do this again."
If this white crow had some backbone and fought to the death just now, the three clans would have been in chaos. The situation would surely have been more severe, and countless people would have died or been injured. Most of this would have been counted on Yaohua.
Yaohua let out a soft "oh" and carefully reached out her hand to hold Chongming's finger.
Seeing that Chongming had no intention of blaming Yaohua, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
After the white crow was taken to the Phoenix Clan's prison, Qingcang immediately sent a letter to the White Crow Clan and also sent a few Immortal Peaches. He demanded that they send all the captured Dragon Clan members to the Phoenix Clan.
As soon as the letter was sent, Nanming couldn't help asking, "The White Crow Clan is so arrogant. Why did Uncle still send them Immortal Peaches?"
In his opinion, those Immortal Peaches were better fed to a dog than given to the White Crow Clan!
Qingcang gave the Dragon King a smug look and said, "Yaoyao, explain it to your Brother Nanming."
The Dragon King glared at Nanming in frustration.
"Because we invited the young Immortal Lord of the White Crow Clan to be our guest," Yaohua said with a smile, propping up her little head. "Since he's a guest, we should be polite. This way, we can maintain harmony among the clans."
After hearing about this, Chongming shook his head and smiled. "Little imp."
Originally, according to Qingcang's idea, they could just send a letter asking the White Crow Clan to release the people, and others also thought the same. Now that the young Immortal Lord of the White Crow Clan was in their hands, and the White Crow Clan Chief had always cherished this youngest son, he would surely release the people.
But Yaohua proposed that they should let the young Immortal Lord of the White Crow Clan be a guest in the Phoenix Clan instead of using him as a hostage, and asked Qingcang to send a few Immortal Peaches to the White Crow Clan to reassure them.
In this way, they wouldn't do anything unfavorable to the remaining clans in the middle and lower reaches of the Heavenly River just because the Phoenix Clan had detained the young Immortal Lord of the White Crow Clan.
When the letter reached the White Crow Clan, the clan chief opened it and immediately burst into laughter.
"It seems that Jun was right. The Phoenix Clan is really not as powerful as before. Well, since he still wants to stay in the Phoenix Clan to plan something, let him do as he wishes."
"Chief, what should we do with those Dragon Clan members?"
"Since Jun said we should release them, then release them."
The clan chief waved his hand and then took out an Immortal Peach. "I didn't expect the Phoenix Clan to have such good things. Once Jun's plan succeeds and we occupy the Phoenix Clan, with these Immortal Peaches, it won't be difficult for us to unify the seventy - two remaining clans in the future."
The White Crow Clan Chief stroked his beard and squinted with a smile. "By then, we'll also hold a Peach Banquet like the Celestial Realm did back then."
