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 couldnât 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 womanâs 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 couldnât 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 eagleâs miserable state, especially its eyes.
They immediately wanted to fight the Goddess Clan members.
Xia Muqing advised, âFor now we can only make our escape. Otherwise, we will only be sending ourselves to our deaths.â
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 Godâ¦
What was that?
Jin Chao stepped forward and held her hand. âItâs okay. Itâs not too late for us to worry later.â
Xia Muqing tried to retract her hand but she didnât manage to. Glancing at the people behind who were waiting to watch a good show, her face heated up. âBe careful. Let go of me quickly.â
Jin Chao didnât want to push her too hard, so he let go.
They didnât get too far before spotting a group of phoenixes resting on an island in the distance. They actually hadnât 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. âWhy havenât you guys left?â
The leader of the phoenix clan also flew to them and said, âWeâre worried, so we waited for you here.â
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 clanâs 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, âItâs okay. As long as weâre all here, we can rebuild our home.â
The leader also stepped forward to encourage them. âThatâs right. Weâll plant the trees again. One day, the parasol trees will return to us.â
Jiang Yifan added, âAs long as the roots of these parasol trees arenât damaged, they can be reborn.â
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, âOrdinary parasol trees naturally canât, 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.â
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 eagleâs eyes.
