Xu Zimei easily defeats Zhu Tiangang, revealing his true, terrifying power. Zhu Tiangang recognizes Xu Zimei as the demonic figure who massacred the Sixteen Monster Race. Xu Zimei then confronts the Monster Fire Phoenix family at the Flame Mountain portal, demanding entry. The new clan leader, Feng Jiu, and Elder Jin discuss their inability to stop him.

"Since you can't stop it, why bother resisting," Feng Jiu said sarcastically with a smile.

"Otherwise, the outcome will be the same as Zhu Tiangang's."

"Your Highness, if we can win him over, maybe the crisis of the Monster Race can be resolved this time," Elder Jin said with some interest.

"Win him over?"

"I would like to, but for a powerful figure of this level, what kind of price do we need to pay to move him?" Feng Jiu asked.

She is a realist.

The heavy burden of the Monster Fire Phoenix Clan weighs on her shoulders, and during this time, she has witnessed too much treachery and deceit.

Responsibility spurs growth.

At this moment, Feng Jiu considers problems with more clarity.

The Monster Fire Phoenix Clan currently has very little that can entice others.

"Let's see what he says. Since he has come to find us of the Monster Race, he surely has a purpose," Elder Jin said.

"As long as we can bear it, we can agree to anything."

For the Monster Fire Phoenix Clan, there is nothing left they can't afford to lose.

With strong enemies surrounding, resolving threats from other Monster Clans and then surviving is the key.

.....

Xu Zimei looked up, and saw the entrance to Flame Mountain slowly opening.

Feng Jiu personally led Elder Jin, the Luan Bird Clan, and the strong from the Long-haired White Dog Clan out.

It was evident that they were very solemn.

Upon arriving in front of Xu Zimei, everyone bowed slightly.

To Xu Zimei, they all greeted in unison, "Welcome, senior, to Phoenix Imprisoning Phoenix."

Xu Zimei looked at them with interest.

He said, "Weren't you just not allowing me to come in?"

"Senior, my words don't count," Elder Jin said with a smile.

"It's our Highness' decision."

Xu Zimei glanced at Feng Jiu.

From her, he could feel the kind of arrogance that befits a Phoenix.

Wearing a long golden robe draped over her, her skin wasn't fair, but rather had a faint golden hue.

Her eyes lively and bright, like the king of birds, with long hair smooth and flowing down her shoulders to her waist.

"You resemble the strong ones of your clan," Xu Zimei said.

"Strong ones?" Feng Jiu seemed puzzled.

"Your Pure Yang Phoenix Emperor," Xu Zimei said.

The Pure Yang Phoenix Emperor was undoubtedly the most powerful existence in the Monster Fire Phoenix Clan, and if he had not died at Xu Zimei's hands, the Monster Fire Phoenix Clan wouldn't have declined.

"You know our ancestor?" Feng Jiu hurriedly asked.

If the powerful figure in front of her was a friend of their ancestor, perhaps this time they were saved.

Compared to Feng Jiu's excitement, Xu Zimei was indifferent as he said, "You didn't know?"

"I was the one who killed your ancestor."

His words silenced everyone immediately.

Everyone felt as if they were suffocating.

Back then, the strong ones of the Sixteen Monster Clans were slaughtered, and the entire Monster Race's situation forever changed.

It was because of this man in front of them.

No one expected Xu Zimei to reveal himself.

Nor did they expect Xu Zimei to return.

Feng Jiu and Zhu Tiangang had the same thought and couldn't help asking, "What do you intend to do, to finish us off?"

"You little ants are really naive. If I wanted to finish you off, why would I bother talking to you here?"

Xu Zimei said indifferently.

They looked at Xu Zimei, and logically, they should have hated him.

But now, none of them dared to reveal even a hint of hatred.

Perhaps when someone becomes powerful to a certain extent, you don't even dare to entertain the thought of opposing them.

"May I ask why you have come again, senior?" Elder Jin braved the question.

"Does anyone know about Great Emperor Tianqi?" Xu Zimei asked.

Feng Jiu seemed puzzled and glanced at the others.

At this point, a white-haired elder stepped out.

"I know!"

This white-haired elder was the Clan Leader of the Long-haired White Dog Clan.

Named Quan Lao.

He rarely spoke, serving as a loyal supporter of the Monster Fire Phoenix Clan.

The Long-haired White Dog Clan played a significant role in this battle.

Compared to the Gold Pangolin Clan, they were even more low-key.

"Quan Lao, you know?" Feng Jiu asked hurriedly.

Quan Lao nodded slightly and said, "Actually, I am fortunate because Great Emperor Tianqi's descendants once resided in our clan's former territory."

Xu Zimei squinted his eyes and said, "Continue, where are their descendants now?"

"If I tell you, can you help us through this crisis?" Quan Lao couldn't help asking.

"You are in no position to negotiate with me. If you don't speak, I can also perform a Soul Search."

Xu Zimei said calmly.

Sometimes he couldn't understand what these ants were thinking.

Did they truly think that with some information, they were on the same level as him?

Feng Jiu quickly replied, "Quan Lao, just tell him everything you know."

Initially, they thought this situation was an opportunity for the Monster Fire Phoenix Clan to perhaps win Xu Zimei over.

But after learning Xu Zimei's true identity, they no longer held that hope.

They only hoped Xu Zimei would leave soon without harming them.

Quan Lao thought for a moment, and finally said, "In the beginning, the place we Long-haired White Dogs managed was named Monster Soul Cliff, spanning several thousand square kilometers."

"Initially, I was unaware of Great Emperor Tianqi's matters."

"Then, a certain time ago, a powerful figure suddenly came to our area asking about Great Emperor Tianqi."

"From that day on, I started investigating."

Xu Zimei nodded slightly.

The strong figure Quan Lao mentioned was likely Thousand Calamities Doomsday.

After almost finding Great Emperor Tianqi's clue, they probably went to the Cangxuan Realm.

Xu Zimei was now following the path the other had come previously.

"Proceed," Xu Zimei said.

"Later, after some investigation, I did find some things about Great Emperor Tianqi."

"Back in the day, Great Emperor Tianqi was a true powerhouse, and the Tianqi Family once flourished because of him."

"But later, for reasons unknown, Great Emperor Tianqi suddenly vanished, and the Tianqi Family gradually declined, eventually becoming secluded."

"Under Monster Soul Cliff, a few families were living. They are hidden deep in the mountains, never communicating with outsiders."

"After many inquiries, I discovered they are descendants of Great Emperor Tianqi."

"If you want to find them, you should go to Monster Soul Cliff."

"Back then, Monster Soul Cliff was occupied by the Tyrannosaur Clan, and we were forced to retreat, as we didn't submit to them."

"Not sure about the current situation, they might be hiding in the mountains."

Xu Zimei nodded slightly.

He said, "Did the strong figure who came to you say anything else?"

"No," Quan Lao shook his head slightly.

"Alright, that's all for now," Xu Zimei nodded slightly.

He looked at Feng Jiu again.

He said, "Your ancestor was killed by me. If you want revenge, I'll be waiting."

"But don't be too weak; I couldn't be bothered to kill ants."
