"Yes, I'm no good in Master's eyes these days."
With a rift between them, their words couldn't be pleasant.
Afraid that she might lose control of her emotions, Yaohua asked to leave and returned to the Phoenix Clan directly. The two parted on bad terms.
When her elder brothers heard the news of Yaohua's return, they rushed over one after another.
"Little sister, you're finally back!" They surrounded her, showing their concern. "Where have you been these days? Why didn't you tell us?"
"Strange. Why has your aura become so powerful?"
Looking at her elder brothers, Yaohua said with a smile, "I was framed and sent to the Icefield these days. Fortunately, I got the inheritance from our ancestor. Brothers, don't worry."
"The Icefield?" Qingcang's tall and imposing figure appeared, his eyes filled with suspicion and anger. "Who dared to harm my precious daughter and send her to the Icefield!"
Yaohua threw herself into her father's arms. "Father!"
Qingcang rubbed her head and snorted, "You took the clan leader's token and went to see Chongming, but you didn't get what you wanted. Instead, you were harmed and sent to the Icefield. I think you should go to the Immortal Realm less in the future."
Yaohua was sent to the Icefield by the Goddess of Cangshan. In the end, it could only be blamed on Chongming's charm, which made the women jealous and involved her.
But she also knew that if she said something bad about her master at this moment, she would never be able to see her master again. So she coquettishly said, "Don't worry about these unimportant things for now. Father, take a look at whether my divine power has improved!"
Qingcang looked at her carefully and showed a satisfied expression. "Your current realm is even much higher than that of your elder brothers."
Yaohua secretly laughed. Of course! According to what happened in the illusion, her current realm was the highest in the Three Realms. But...
Thinking of what happened in the illusion, a hint of gloom flashed across her eyebrows. "Father, are you about to break through to the Nirvana Realm? Is it the most dangerous time for our Phoenix Clan when breaking through to the Nirvana Realm?"
"Oh, how do you know about these things?" Qingcang was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. "Is it because your perception has improved since your realm has been upgraded?"
Yaohua's mood was a bit heavy. In the illusion, Qingcang was fighting against the Demon Lord when he was about to break through. The evil Demon Lord deliberately forced Qingcang to break through during the battle, and then killed him when he was at his weakest.
Whether the things in the illusion were true or not, she had to prevent her father from dying in the war.
She asked, "If the Immortal Realm asks you to go to war later, can you say that you're going to go into seclusion to break through and send someone else instead?"
Qingcang shook his head. "If the Immortal Realm specifically asks the leader of the Phoenix Clan to go, I'm afraid I can't refuse. Moreover, it's a critical moment now, and the clan leader can't go into seclusion easily. Have you forgotten the tragedy that happened last time when we were in seclusion?"
If they hadn't just left seclusion that time, several of her elder brothers would have died in the natural disaster.
Yaohua bit her lip, and her eyes gradually became firm. "Well then, you should abdicate."
"Ah?" Qingcang thought he had misheard.
The other elder brothers also looked at her in disbelief. "Little sister, what did you say?"
Yaohua drew out her sword and said calmly, "Now that I've received the inheritance from our ancestor and reached the Nirvana Realm before you, with the most powerful cultivation in the world, it's time for me to take over your position, Father!"
The scene of the young girl pointing her sword at her father was extremely pretentious.
The eldest brother, Yanling, seeing that the situation was not good, quickly winked at her.
The second brother, Feng Jing, said helplessly and lovingly, "Silly little sister, how old are you? How dare you provoke Father? Don't joke around. Put down your sword quickly."
The third brother, Junxi, burst out laughing. "Little sister has great skills. Put down your sword quickly. Third brother will play with you."
A few black lines seemed to appear on Qingcang's forehead. "You... Are you sure you want to fight me?"
Yaohua curled her lips. "Father, I've said that you have to abdicate."
Immediately, a clear cry of a phoenix resounded throughout the Phoenix Realm.
A fiery phoenix manifested behind her. After the battle with the Snow Demon, its body became more solid, and its eyes shone with a spiritual light.
The elder brothers' expressions became a bit solemn. "This is..."
But Qingcang stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly, "You can use such supernatural powers, which shows that you've really received the true inheritance from our ancestor. But although my realm is a bit lower, I'm not someone you can easily provoke!"
Immediately, he suddenly stretched out his hand, and the phoenix True Fire, red to the point of being purple, appeared around his body and condensed into the shape of a sword.
Boom!
The two supernatural powers collided, erupting with astonishing explosions and flames.
The whole Phoenix Realm felt the shock and rushed over one after another.
"Who is fighting here?" The powerful old phoenixes flew here first, their eyes full of shock. "When did such a powerful expert appear in our clan?"
"It's Yaohua!" Zhuyuan had just come out of the vegetable garden, still holding two bunches of green vegetables in his hand. Without caring about the mud on his body, he introduced to everyone proudly, "She's received the inheritance from our ancestor and has reached the Nirvana Realm."
"What? The little princess has broken through to the Nirvana Realm?"
All the phoenixes were in an uproar.
Because the battle between the two powerful experts was too intense, they had to retreat far away.
The fiery phoenix and the fiery sword collided in the air, neither giving in to the other.
Yaohua shouted, "Father, is this all your strength?"
Qingcang was also aroused with a bit of fighting spirit. He laughed heartily, "You've just reached the Nirvana Realm by luck and want to replace me. Little girl, you're still far from it!"
Before his voice fell, he saw Yaohua making hand seals with both hands. Then, the phoenix let out a long cry, suddenly turned around, picked up the spiritual sword in its mouth, and rushed towards him.
The sword light became even more dazzling in the flames, shining brightly like a precious stone.
All the phoenixes' expressions changed greatly. They felt the destructive aura in this supernatural power and forgot to speak for a moment. They could only watch helplessly as the sword light broke through Qingcang's fiery sword.
"Bang!"
Qingcang was thrown hundreds of meters away, and the place where he landed became a large crater.
"This... This this this..." An old phoenix came to his senses and slapped his thigh hard. "Oh, this is blatant defiance! How could a child point a sword at their father?"
Although the elder brothers were also very shocked, they subconsciously spoke up for her. "Yaohua didn't do it on purpose."
"Yes, there must be a winner and a loser in a competition. Our little sister is so cute. Of course, she didn't mean to hurt Father."
After a while, Qingcang climbed out of the crater, his face looking a bit bitter. "Daughter, hit lighter in front of outsiders in the future. You have to take care of your father's face."
Yaohua took out the clan leader's token and waved it. "Then, I'll be the clan leader from now on!"
"What?" The phoenixes were in an uproar again.
The sixth brother, Mo Qing, helped his father up and sighed. "Little sister, stop being so naughty."
Before his voice fell, he was directly punched away by Yaohua.
Qingcang frowned. "You—"
Yaohua directly sealed his acupoints, making him unable to move or speak.
The elder brothers looked at each other. "Little sister, are you crazy?"
They tried to persuade Yaohua, but were all punched away one by one.
She waved her hand, and the fiery phoenix spread its wings and circled in the air, holding the cold sword light in its mouth. The phoenixes looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
And she said casually, "The leader of the Phoenix Clan should be the most powerful one. Whoever can defeat me has the qualification to be the clan leader!"
