Chapter 473: The Story of the Phoenix Clan
oice came from the carriage, "Jinmu, have you found that woman"Jin Mu rode his black steed, scalp tingling slightly. "Regarding Your Majesty's inquiry, every brothel in Yun City has been thoroughly se..."Could this be the Bedrock" Li Hai was a little excited, stepping forward to examine the boulder carefully, his eyes gleaming.
Li Yunshan felt guilty because of Qin Luoyan's attitude, so he only glanced at the huge rock in front of him casually. His eyes were still fixed on Qin Luoyan.
Li Hai turned back and saw his absent-minded look. The smile on his face immediately faded a few points, and he growled: "Fan'er, what are you doing in a daze Come here quickly and take a look, this is Panshi"
Li Yunfan came to his senses and walked over to Li Hai's side to take a closer look at the stone. When it came to jade, Li Yunfan was considered an expert. He nodded, "Yes, it's a rock."
His simple answer didn't seem to convey much happiness. But Li Hai almost jumped for joy after receiving his affirmative response.
"I never expected it, the Phoenix Clan's treasure trove is indeed extraordinary, hiding such a large stone slab. This slab is a rare treasure in the world, and it is said that the secret to immortality is hidden on the stone. Two hundred years ago, emperors from all countries united their forces to find only a piece the size of a fingernail. It is said that even this tiny piece could be exchanged for an entire city. And look, the slab here is a full ten feet high! This...simply..."
Li Hai was so excited that his words trembled. Compared to Geng Jin, this rock's value was ten thousand times greater. Not to mention that there were seventy-seven forty-nine smaller caves in this cave dwelling, even without them, this single rock would be enough for the Li family to solidify their power.
"Oh." Li Yunfan's gaze remained dim, only faintly responding to Li Hai's excitement.
Qin Luoyan smirked, a touch of disdain for Li Hai's expression. But her gaze was still drawn to the stone before her, a boulder that seemed to carry an air of legend. She couldn't help but wonder, with such immense wealth at their disposal, how could the Phoenix Clan, so powerful, have fallen into decline
Her mind was still in doubt, so she didn't notice that Li Hai had excitedly reached out to touch the stone. By the time she reacted, it was too late to stop him.
Before anyone could figure out what was happening, the entire cave suddenly began to shake. Dust from the ceiling rained down relentlessly. The cave, which had been as bright as day because of the rock formation, was now shrouded in a thick fog, allowing only a three-foot radius to be seen.
"What's going on" Li Hai whispered in horror.
Qin Luoyan didn't understand what was happening either, she only felt the ground beneath her feet shaking. Fortunately, Xiaolong carefully supported her, preventing her from falling to the ground.
"It seems like the Phoenix Clan's ancestors were punishing outsiders," Qin Luoyan speculated, then instructed Xiaolong, "Help me over there."
Xiao Long now listened to Qin Luoyan's every word, so he helped her walk towards the stone.
Qin Luoyan reached out and touched the stone, her fingertips immediately feeling a chill. She frowned and continued to explore the stone. The incident caused by Li Hai touching the stone earlier should also be traced back to its surface.
As she groped around, she surprisingly discovered that although the stone seemed smooth, its surface still had uneven places. She leaned closer and took a closer look, and amazingly found that lines of small characters were carved on the stone.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly followed the small inscription. Upon seeing it, she realized that the inscription on the stone was a record of the life of the most accomplished ancestor of the Phoenix Clan. The more she read, the heavier Qin Luoyan's mood became.
Originally, the ancestor of the Phoenix Clan was the fifth-generation Saintess of the Phoenix Clan. She expanded the power of the Phoenix Clan to its peak, but as her influence grew, so did her personality. With age, she came to disregard everyone until she met a man.
Perhaps it was fate, the peerless Phoenix Clan saintess gave her heart to that man. Alas, after that man entered the Phoenix Clan and gained the trust of the saintess, he conspired to steal everything from them. To obtain the special bloodline of the Phoenix Clan, he even used his child with the Phoenix Clan saintess as a tool, opening the gates of the clan's secret realm.
In the sacred ground of the Phoenix clan, lies the secret to their unique bloodline and the source of their survival. The man in the sacred ground personally killed his own child, using the child's blood to taint the origin of the Phoenix clan's power. Fortunately, just as he was about to complete this ritual, the Phoenix clan's saint appeared. She used all her strength to thwart the man's plan. However, the Phoenix clan's saint lost her lover and child in an instant, unable to bear the blow, she fell into despair from then on.
The Phoenix clan, because their power source was contaminated, lost their special abilities. Without the protection of their special powers, the Phoenix clan, like an innocent man with a jewel on him, possessing so many treasures and wealth, finally attracted the covetousness of all parties.
Before the Phoenix Clan Saintess passed away, she had her people hide all the clan's wealth in a secret location. She then used the last vestiges of her unique power within her blood to perform a ritual. This ritual would cause a miracle to appear in the bloodline of future generations of the Phoenix Clan, a miracle that would change their destiny.
When Qin Luoyan saw this, her heart suddenly beat violently. She thought she should have understood what the Phoenix Clan Saintess meant by miracle.
As a modern soul, she unexpectedly found herself inhabiting the body of an ancient woman. Isn't that a miracle
So, the Phoenix clan people, were they waiting for her
"Miss, what are you looking at Is this place about to collapse" Xiaolong saw Qin Luo'yan staring blankly at the rock and couldn't help but remind her.
Qin Luoyan came back to her senses, looked at Xiaolong in surprise, and asked, "Can you not see the characters on top"
"What" Xiao Long frowned and shook his head. "I didn't see anything."
Qin Luoyan fell silent, and her heart became even clearer. She was more certain than ever that this body belonged to a descendant of the Phoenix Clan.
On the rock, Xia Zizhi finally revealed the method to activate the mechanism in this cave. It was surprisingly simple: use blood. After all, although the mysterious power within the Phoenix Clan's bloodline had vanished, some special traits still lingered. That meant their unique bloodline couldn't be replicated or impersonated by others.
Seeing the shaking inside the cave growing more and more intense, Qin Luoyan didn't hesitate any longer. She quickly bit her finger and pressed her bloody fingertip onto the rock.
Perhaps her blood had an effect, and the shaking cave quickly calmed down. However, the sudden thick fog did not disappear, but instead became even denser than before. Now she could only see within a radius of ten feet around her. Around her, at this moment, there was only Xiao Long alone. Li Yunfan, Li Hai and others were nowhere to be seen.
