A frown developed on the beautiful face of the Phoenix Empress as she spoke, "What nonsense are you saying, War Goddess? Do you truly believe that just because you hold the title of a goddess, I dared not move? Has the God clan become so petty that it started massacring innocents?"
The aura around her started to fluctuate, signaling that if Zeng Qingge did not give her a proper explanation, she was ready for war.
Zeng Qingge snorted and threw a burnt carcass in front of her. "What about this then?"
The Phoenix Empress wrinkled her brows and asked, "What is this?"
Zeng Qingge replied, "See for yourself."
The Phoenix Empress inspected the burnt body, and soon her face changed into one of horror and anger. "You witch! You even slaughtered a kid! Do you have no shame?"
Her body trembled with anger as the carcass was that of a young pureblood Phoenix.
Zeng Qingge narrowed her eyes. At first, she thought of explaining it to her, but since the war between the two clans was inevitable, it was better this way.
Both leaders were ready to attack each other. The small sun around the Phoenix Empress floated and turned into the shape of a bird, while Zeng Qingge's sword glowed with a blue illuminance.
Following the actions of their leaders, the armies on both sides were ready to attack once again.
This time, Zeng Qingge's army was greatly outnumbered. Following the Phoenix Empress, thousands of phoenixes had come to accompany her in the war.
The pureblood phoenix could transform into a phoenix on birth itself, while the others had to first strengthen their bloodline to 100% before they were able to turn themselves into a phoenix.
Zeng Qingge surveyed the battlefield, knowing that she could survive, but her army would be annihilated.
The strength of the Fire Phoenix Clan was greater than she had anticipated, and her recklessness had led her to this point. 'I can't turn back now,' she thought, as she continued to channel more and more energy into her sword, causing it to glow like a prime star.
No one would have thought that Xia Tian's small actions would lead to the clash of two of the greatest forces.
Despite doing nothing directly, he effortlessly made both clans go to war. That was Xia Tian, wherever he went, chaos and misfortune followed him around. It could be said that he was the very source of it all.
As the two women were about to break out into a catfight, another figure made a grand entrance. Well, in reality, his entrance was not grand at all, as he simply floated out of a portal.
However, his presence was enough to make him the center of attention.
He was a man with long blonde hair that flowed behind him, giving the impression of a golden aura.
He was dressed in a white robe with intricate golden designs that seemed to glow in the dim light. His eyes were a bright shade of blue, piercing through the darkness like two shining stars.
The man landed gracefully on the air, his eyes scanning the area with a calm and collected expression.
His presence was one of power and authority, and everyone in the vicinity couldn't help but feel a sense of reverence towards him.
It was none other than Eternal Sun, the leader of the God clan. He had come to mediate the conflict between Zeng Qingge and the Phoenix Empress, and his arrival was a sign that the situation was about to be resolved.
Feng Yingying and Zeng Qingge both turned to face Eternal Sun, their eyes narrowing in suspicion. They had heard stories about his manipulative nature, and they knew better than to trust him blindly.
However, Zeng Qingge had interacted with him and knew more than that. He wasn't just manipulative but also a low-key narcissist.
Sometimes, she wondered if he was a eunuch because so many women were ready to throw themselves at his bed, but he accepted none. He wasn't a homosexual either because he avoided contact with males.
Just what was he?
A narcissist with a god complex who looked down on everyone, not worthy to touch his sacred body?
Did a certain Xia Tian have a competition?
Or was he a lite version of him?
That was the only explanation she could arrive at.
Despite being one of his subordinates, he had never commanded her.
It was as if he never did anything at all. Everything was managed by her and the other supreme elders of the clan.
His sudden appearance took her by surprise, and she couldn't help but wonder what he wanted to do.
Personally, she found him quite handsome, but she had no interest in any relationship, especially with a narcissist.
Eternal Sun fixed his hair and looked at both women. "Ladies, violence is not good for your health," he said, causing both of them to shiver and maintain a slight distance from him.
They looked at him with suspicion, wondering what exactly he wanted.
The other members of the God clan looked at him with awe, recognizing his immense power. His aura overshadowed both of theirs easily.
On the other hand, the Phoenix clan members' expressions turned grave. If Eternal Sun attacked, they would have no chance of retaliation.
Some sighed with pity, while others were determined to accompany him to death.
"What do you want?" Zeng Qingge spoke, not showing a trace of respect for him.
Even the Phoenix Empress was stunned, wondering why she was being so disrespectful. 'Isn't she quite disrespectful, does she does not care for her life?'
It wasn't just her; all the cultivators around them had their mouths wide open in surprise.
Some thought that Eternal Sun would get angry and might even kill her, but to their surprise, he laughed.
"Huh?"
"What!?"
"...Is the leader a M?"
Some couldn't help but whisper among themselves. They had never seen Eternal Sun interact with the supreme elders, so it was their first time witnessing it.
Eternal Sun said, "Me? I want nothing. I just heard a lot of noise and decided to pay a visit..."
"But why are you ladies going insane? Did someone steal your husband? Oh, never mind. You both are still virgins. Was it a young lover then? Ehehe~"
His feminine-like giggle made everyone feel chills all over their body.
Now, they were starting to doubt his gender.
While Zeng Qingge and the Phoenix Empress' faces turned red, 'Bastard', both cursed under their breath, finally agreeing upon something.
Some were surprised how the Phoenix Empress could be a virgin. Compared to Zeng Qingge, she was much older. Sensing their weird stares on her, she narrowed her eyes, scaring them away.
Once again, she cursed Eternal Sun for revealing such embarrassing information
It was not like she wanted to be a virgin. She just got so engrossed in her cultivation that she forgot about it.
By the time she reached the peak, she was already too old to go and search for a man.
How embarrassing it would be for an ancestral figure like her to start searching for a man at this age to take her virginity and experience love?
She would rather dig a hole and bury herself than do it.
Thus, she assumed the identity of a leader who did not care about mundane affairs.
Yet, she was surprised by Eternal Sun. Despite being in the presence of two supreme beauties, his eyes were still clear, and there was no lust or desire in them.
'Is he a eunuch?'
She thought to herself, making her expression strange.
Unlike Zeng Qingge bravery, she was grateful for it. After all, if this man wanted to force her, she would not be able to resist his strength. It was good that he did not desire her peerless body.
Finally, she sighed and looked at him seriously. "Eternal Star, ask your subordinate why she suddenly started wrecking havoc in my place? She even massacred a young pure blood Phoenix! Is the God clan declaring war on us?"
Despite the difference in strength, she tried to negotiate on an equal position. After all, she had to maintain the pride of her clan. She was representing the whole Fire Phoenix clan.
The young phoenixes behind her sighed in admiration of the strength of their leader. She was able to hold her stand despite being weaker.
Ignoring her words, Eternal Sun's face became serious as he looked at Zeng Qingge for an explanation.
Despite her disrespect towards him, his authority still held power. After listening to her story, he squinted his eyes as if deep in thought.
Finally, he spoke, "Both the God and Phoenix clans suffered losses. It was likely done by a third party to purposely sow discord between the clans and initiate a war."
His spot-on deduction made Zeng Qingge frown, "Why didn't I think of that?!" She felt embarrassed under Feng Yingying's sharp gaze, "So you killed my people for nothing?"
The Phoenix Emperor spoke with anger. If it was done by a third party, didn't it mean Zeng Qingge carried out a needless massacre?
Eternal Sun sighed.
Why did these women have so little patience?
They never listened and were always ready to fight.
"Phoenix Empress, I will compensate your clan for the damages done by my clan. In return, if you obtain any information about the person behind this, please inform the God clan about it. They are the enemy of both clans."
Announcing this, he left without waiting for Phoenix Empress's approval.
She obviously agreed with him since he was willing to compensate her clan, and left soon after giving a warning gaze to Zeng Qingge.
The latter also sighed and took her army away. The war ended before it even began.
