Chu Yunfei's eyes became cold and he slowly said, "What do you mean?"
Yunque Zi looked at Chu Yunfei and shook his head. "You should go. With your cultivation, you are not my match. Also, you are injured. Brother Chu, don't come back for 1,000 years!"
Chu Yunfei's eyes became even colder and he said, "If I don't agree …"
Yunque Zi let out a sigh and waved his right hand. A piece of black wood flew out from his hand and turned into black fog. At the same time, there was a flash of crystal light and a monstrous aura appeared.
An illusory figure suddenly appeared from the crystal light. In a flash, it arrived in front of Chu Yunfei and gently pushed forward with its right hand.
Chu Yunfei's expression changed and he immediately retreated. At the same time, his left hand formed a seal and celestial spiritual energy condensed in front of him.
However, the palm directly passed through the celestial spiritual energy and pressed against Chu Yunfei's chest at an unimaginable speed.
Chu Yunfei coughed out a mouthful of blood and quickly retreated.
In the blink of an eye, he flew toward the horizon.
"Yunque Zi, the Old Man has left Suzaku!" Chu Yunfei's voice echoed with a hint of sadness.
"Why did you stop me from killing him?" The illusory figure turned around and looked at Yunque Zi.
Yunque Zi's expression was calm as he looked at the illusory figure and said, "As soon as you make a move, Rosefinch's son will notice. Let's go." With that, his body disappeared with the illusory figure.
Almost as soon as they left, a large amount of red light appeared in the sky. In the blink of an eye, the red light turned into the figure of Rosefinch's son.
"Yunque!!
Come out! "
Rosefinch's eyes were filled with anger as he roared. His voice immediately spread in all directions.
"Senior apprentice brother, our battle is unavoidable. Due to our thousand years of friendship, I'll give you three months to heal. In three months, we'll have a decisive battle at the foot of Mount Suzaku!"
Yunque Zi's voice slowly came from the void.
Rosefinch's son took a deep breath. His eyes were gloomy as he muttered to himself, "I know your goal. Yunque, you are playing with fire!" Then his body disappeared.
Somewhere in the void of the Vermillion Bird continent, Yunque Zi's figure slowly appeared. The illusory figure beside him calmly said,
The illusory figure beside him calmly said, "Why give him three months?
We don't have to wait that long to kill this Rosefinch. "
Yunque Zi looked at the illusory figure and said, "The Forsaken Immortal Clan has three nine-leaf shamans, one ten-leaf shaman, and you have an eleven-leaf shaman. With the five of us, it won't be difficult to kill this Rosefinch.
Moreover, although only two Reincarnation Ancestral Spirit Trees have succeeded, two more Ten-leaf Ancestral Spirits will descend within a month. With seven of us, killing the Vermilion Bird will be a piece of cake.
"However, we can't kill this Rosefinch right now!"
The illusory figure pondered a bit and then said, "You have been in the Cultivation Land for too long and have forgotten your origin. Do you remember how many clan members were sacrificed to send you to the country of Rosefinch …"
Yunque Zi's eyes narrowed and he sneered. "First ancestor, I'll tell you one last time. Don't underestimate Rosefinch's son. Rosefinch's son has the Cultivation Planet Crystal. Although it was sealed by the second generation Rosefinch, over the past tens of thousands of years, every generation of Rosefinch has been trying to find a way to break the seal. The last generation Rosefinch even found a way to break the seal. With my understanding of the current Rosefinch's son, if we kill him, he will definitely destroy the Cultivation Planet Crystal and all the cultivators in Suzaku. At that time, with such a big thing happening, the Cultivation Alliance will definitely send people to investigate. Do you think my Forsaken Immortal Clan can fight against the Cultivation Alliance?"
The illusory figure silently pondered.
"If we followed my plan and trained a few people to become the next generation of Rosefinch's son, then our Forsaken Immortal Clan would be able to exist forever. This was the best method, but the Illusory Ancestor was too impatient, so you guys appeared early and destroyed all my plans!" Yunque Zi's expression was gloomy.
"Even my identity was forced by you guys to reveal it to prove that I'm still a member of the Forsaken Immortal Clan. In my eyes, all of this is very boring!"
"First ancestor, if you want my Forsaken Immortal Clan to live on Suzaku forever, then we must obtain the Cultivation Planet Crystal and have the people I train become the next generation of Rosefinch's son. This way, my Forsaken Immortal Clan will be able to control all the cultivators.
"I already have four candidates in mind. If it wasn't for you guys appearing early, it wouldn't have taken more than a few decades to succeed. The plan I spent countless years setting up was destroyed by you guys!
"The two people that the son of Rosefinch has chosen are Qian Feng and Liu Mei.
"Qian Feng cultivates the Rosefinch Method, so I suspect that he is something that the son of Rosefinch prepared to possess. Every generation of the son of Rosefinch has been researching how to possess someone to increase their lifespan. I believe that the current generation of Rosefinch already has this method.
"That's why I found the second candidate, Zi Xin. As long as the son of Rosefinch possesses Qian Feng, he will help Zi Xin achieve her goal. Even if my suspicions are wrong and the son of Rosefinch really wants to train Qian Feng to become the son of Rosefinch, once he becomes the son of Rosefinch, he will inevitably help Zi Xin achieve her goal!
"The third person I chose is Zhou Wutai. This child has the blood of the Azure Dragon in his body, so I can feel the continuation of the ancient Azure Dragon Clan. Since the Azure Dragon Clan helped my Forsaken Immortal Clan before, I made him one of the candidates to become the next Rosefinch. For him, I went to the Four Sect Alliance. He is the person I'm going to use to deal with Liu Mei.
"However, what's interesting is that I met a cultivator named Wang Lin at the Four Sect Alliance. That child's talent is mediocre and there's nothing special about him. However, he was able to comprehend the life and death domain, which caught my attention.
"On a whim, I made him the fourth candidate.
"Originally, I didn't pay too much attention to him, but Wang Lin's development shocked me. He cut off Red Butterfly's arm in the Celestial Realm, and after returning to Suzaku, his cultivation increased rapidly. Then, he caught the attention of the son of Rosefinch.
"The Soul Refining Sect's Du Tian also treated him as a direct disciple to inherit the one-billion-soul soul flag.
"Also, this person has too many secrets; sometimes, even I can't see through him.
"In the end, I made him the executor of my Rosefinch plan!
"Even now, he is still the executor!
He is also the most important part of my Rosefinch plan! "
Yunque Zi calmly said.
The figure pondered for a bit before looking at Yunque Zi. His eyes became cold and he said, "This explanation is still not enough."
Yunque Zi's eyes became serious and he said, "I don't know if the power of the Cultivation Planet Crystal will affect my Forsaken Immortal Clan. If it does, then all of the clan members born over the past tens of thousands of years will die along with the Cultivation Planet Crystal. Neither you nor I will be able to escape!
Is this explanation enough? "
The figure pondered again. After a long time, he let out a sigh and said, "Who did you choose to be the first person?"
Yunque Zi faintly smiled and said, "After the executor completes my plan, if there are no accidents, the first person I chose will become the next son of Rosefinch!"
The figure finally asked, "Why did you give son Rosefinch three months?"
"Because I want to wait for him to sacrifice the Cultivation Planet Crystal!
If the Old Man doesn't make a move, then he won't give son Rosefinch any chance! "
Next to the last ancient transfer array to Chu, Wang Lin looked at the burly man who had taken off the straw hat. His heart skipped a beat, but his expression didn't change at all. He faintly smiled and said, "Long time no see, brother Zhou!"
The burly man put the straw hat on the side, touched his bag of holding, and took out a table. There were two cups of wine on the table. He smiled and said, "Brother Wang, I'm craving for wine. Do you still have any of the wine from back then?"
Wang Lin's eyes faintly lit up as he looked at the straw hat. He slapped his bag of holding and a celadon wine jug appeared in his hand. Looking at the wine jug, Daniu's figure flashed through his mind. After all these years, he only had less than 10 jugs of wine left.
After putting the wine on the table, Wang Lin sat down, poured a cup, and drank it all in one gulp.
Zhou Wutai chuckled and filled his cup with wine. He took a sip and sighed, "The wine is still the same as before, and the people are still the same. Unfortunately, as time has passed, our attitudes have become more and more pedantic.
As the old saying goes, things remain the same, but people change. In my opinion, things have changed for you and me. "
Wang Lin remained silent. He held the cup and didn't say anything.
"Brother Wang, aren't you curious why I didn't die?
I still remember when you took the Rain Cauldron from me. "Zhou Wutai looked at Wang Lin with a smile that didn't seem like a smile.
Wang Lin's expression remained the same as he said, "Instead of letting Red Butterfly take advantage of me, I believe that even if I didn't take it, brother Zhou would have made a choice."
Zhou Wutai laughed, poured another glass of wine, and said,
"Let's not talk about the past. Brother Wang's reputation has been famous on Suzaku for many years. Because of this, I offer you a toast!"
Wang Lin smiled, picked up the cup, and drank it all in one gulp.
Zhou Wutai's eyes lit up and he said, "Brother Wang, I offer you another toast. This is to thank you for sealing Xue Yu and killing Li Yuanfeng!" After he finished speaking, he drank the wine.
After two cups, the two of them suddenly became silent.
After a while, Zhou Wutai raised his head and looked into the distance.
He slowly said, "Wang Lin, senior wants you to go find him … He will teach you how to use the Skylark hat."
The moment he saw Zhou Wutai wearing the straw hat, Wang Lin had already guessed that Zhou Wutai was related to Skylark. Based on Wang Lin's analysis, Skylark's straw hat wouldn't be easily given away.
The moment he saw the straw hat, Wang Lin also understood why Zhou Wutai didn't die.
Wang Lin calmly said, "Tell Skylark that I won't go find him!"
Zhou Wutai revealed a complicated expression and said, "Brother Wang, we are all pawns. As far as I know, senior has given the straw hat to four people. You should know one of them. Her name is Zi Xin!"
Wang Lin's eyes lit up and he sneered.
Zhou Wutai shook his head and stood up. He grabbed the wine jug and said, "Brother Wang, can you give me this half a jug of wine?"
