"This is indeed a tough problem," Xiao Ying said. "So, what's your plan, Master?"
"I can learn the Qingming Technique first, and figure out a way for the rest later," Feng Yuqin replied. At present, she didn't have a better solution either.
"Master, you should first find a relatively secluded place to enter the space," Xiao Ying suggested.
Feng Yuqin used her spiritual sense to detect and found a place to enter the space. In the next moment, Xiao Jin came to her with the Qingming Technique in hand.
Xiao Ying estimated that it would take Feng Yuqin an hour to learn it.
But as a result, Feng Yuqin finished learning it in just over half an hour.
Xiao Ying: "..."
"Looks like your estimate of Master was off," Xiao Jin said, dancing with excitement.
He looked as if he had learned something extraordinary or found a treasure that he was really interested in.
"Actually, Xiao Ying's estimate wasn't completely wrong," Feng Yuqin said. "Before I reached the Divine Master level, I would indeed need an hour. But I've noticed that every time I level up, I can learn other skills faster than before."
Hearing this, Xiao Ying and the others couldn't help but wonder what would happen if Master continued to level up in the future.
Would there come a time when she could master anything with just one glance?
As they thought about it, they felt that such a possibility was quite high.
"What should we do now?" Xiao Jin asked.
Xiao Ying and Hun Bing were also curious about what to do next.
"If we had enough time, we could spend some time screening. But now, time is running out. Master has to think of other ways," Xiao Ying said.
"Yes, at least we have to find a way to prevent these people from being controlled," Feng Yuqin paused for a moment and continued. "And we can't let the Demon Clan notice."
"They're all in seclusion, so it should take them some time to notice," Xiao Ying said. "This is a good opportunity for us to act."
Feng Yuqin thought the same way. So now she was wracking her brains to figure out how to prevent these people from being controlled by the Demon Clan without being discovered.
Moreover, it wasn't just the people of the Phoenix Clan. There must be people from other places as well.
She could roughly guess part of the Demon Clan's purpose, but she had to figure out the rest.
"Master, if you can't think of a way for the moment, why not go and check on Mu Weizhu's parents?" Xiao Ying suggested.
"I know where it is," Xiao Jin said immediately. "But I sense a lot of ancient formations there."
"And?" Xiao Ying asked.
Hun Bing said with a grin, "There are also treasures."
"The Phoenix Clan is an ancient race, so it's normal for them to have treasures," Feng Yuqin said.
"Master, do you think the elders and other high - level members of the Phoenix Clan know about this forbidden technique?" Xiao Ying suddenly asked.
"Maybe they do, maybe they don't," Feng Yuqin replied. She didn't know much about the Phoenix Clan, so she had no idea what the people in this ancient race were like.
However, since she was here, she wanted to figure out the situation of the Phoenix Clan and how it was different from what she remembered.
"If we had known that Mu Weizhu would bring Master to the Phoenix Clan, we should have brought more people with us," Xiao Ying said. "Anyway, there's no one more powerful than you among these high - level members. If Lord also came, the two of you could take care of the elders and even the ancestors of the Phoenix Clan."
"Yes, the most powerful people on the Huanglong Continent are only at the Honorary Master level. There's not even a person at the Imperial Master level. Master has already reached the Divine Master level, so it wouldn't be difficult for you to deal with these people," Xiao Jin said.
Feng Yuqin was helpless when she heard their words. "And then what? Who's going to clean up the mess after we deal with these people?"
"We could arrange for people from the Desolate City to take over," Xiao Jin said.
"That definitely won't work. Have you ever thought that the Demon Clan sent ten small squads, with twenty people in each squad. After we killed a few of them in the Fanyue Palace last time, there are still more than 190 of them. We don't even know where they are. I can't just wipe out everyone related to the Demon Clan. Wouldn't that throw the Huanglong Continent into chaos?" Feng Yuqin's words made Xiao Ying and the others realize that they had thought things too simply before.
It was really because they felt that there was no one on the Huanglong Continent more powerful than them.
If they really wanted to compare in terms of strength, only the inner domain of the Xuanyu Realm would have people more powerful than them.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ying said, "Master, is what Lord told you true? Is it really possible for our Huanglong Continent to level up?"
"Since he told me this, it must be true. So we have to deal with these Demon Clan members before that," Feng Yuqin said.
"Master, look. Isn't that the Elder Tianyue who used the Void - Breaking Sword to strike you into the crack back then?" Xiao Jin suddenly pointed at Elder Tianyue, who was teaching a group of disciples not far away.
Feng Yuqin looked over and indeed saw Elder Tianyue. A cold killing intent flashed in her cold eyes.
"Master, some of those people have also practiced the forbidden technique," Xiao Ying said after detecting with her spiritual sense.
"It seems that most of the Phoenix Clan have practiced the forbidden technique," Feng Yuqin frowned and said. "Maybe the Demon Clan is even more ambitious than we thought."
"So the elders of the Phoenix Clan should know about the forbidden technique these people are practicing?" Xiao Ying thought that if that was the case, the people of the Phoenix Clan were really crazy.
Or they had been almost completely controlled by the Demon Clan.
Feng Yuqin could, of course, think of the problems that Xiao Ying could.
However, she didn't think that all the people of the Phoenix Clan had been controlled.
There should still be some people in the Phoenix Clan who were not controlled or had problems after practicing the technique.
Feng Yuqin began to search. With Xiao Jin's spatial domain, as long as they didn't encounter very powerful formations, they could easily pass through other formations without being discovered.
The Phoenix Clan was, after all, an ancient race, and its area was very large.
There were also many ancient relics left behind.
So after she wandered around for a while, she determined the approximate locations of Mu Wenbin, Nan Mu, and the various elders.
However, there were several forbidden areas. The formations there exuded an ancient aura, and she couldn't get close.
Even though she couldn't enter, she could still tell the general situation.
By the time she had explored most of the Phoenix Clan, it was already dark.
"Master, what should we do next?" Xiao Ying asked.
"Go and capture a person who has practiced the forbidden technique for research," Feng Yuqin said. "We must figure out a way as soon as possible."
Xiao Ying and the others also thought that this was a good idea for the time being.
"When we first came here, there were some people practicing on the cliff in the east. We can go there to capture someone for research," Xiao Ying said.
