Chapter 2120: Abyssal Underground

Under the weight of many gazes, Feng Haoyu let out a heavy sigh before speaking.

"Honestly, I don’t know what to say or even feel. Betrayed? Not necessarily. I swore my loyalty to him not because of his bloodline, but because of his ability and something else. So even if he isn’t truly a Primordial Phoenix, as long as his abilities are real, I have no reason to complain. And... there’s just something about him—something that makes me attracted to him. I can’t explain it."

He then turned to his mother and continued, "I’m sorry, Mother, for making such a decision without consulting you. I acted on my instincts."

"Since it’s your decision, I will respect it," she replied. "However, now that you know he might be a fraud, what will you do? Unless you’ve performed a ritual, you can still withdraw your allegiance, as a verbal declaration isn’t technically binding."

"Just like you, I’ll wait until the gathering before making my decision. There must be a good reason why Feng Yuxiang—a true Primordial Phoenix—would follow someone like him," he said.

Hearing this last remark, the elders couldn’t help but agree. It was indeed strange. They could understand why someone might follow the Celestial Emperor, the most influential figure in the Nine Heavens—but Yuan? No one present even knew his true identity.

In their eyes, he was just a human who could somehow transform into a phoenix.

"..."

While everyone in the room pondered deeply yet failed to find a convincing reason, the leader’s mind settled on one possibility. However, she kept it to herself, as voicing it aloud might make her sound utterly insane.

Meanwhile, after leaving the Rising Phoenix Clan for the second time, Feng Yuxiang asked Yuan, "What are we going to do for the next three months?"

"How far away is the Undying Fiery Summit?" he asked.

She pondered for a moment before responding, "If we take the teleporters, it’ll only take twenty days to get there."

"Are there any good hunting grounds near that place? I want to spend this time hunting magical beasts."

"Hunting magical beasts?" Feng Yuxiang raised an eyebrow at the unusual activity. "If you’re looking for strong ones for training, I’d recommend—"

"No," Yuan cut in abruptly. "I don’t care how strong they are. I only care about numbers. I need to kill around a hundred million, after all."

"A hundred million?!" Feng Yuxiang exclaimed after hearing this astronomical number.

"Why in heaven’s name do you need to kill so many magical beasts?" she couldn’t help but ask.

"It’s for a quest."

"..."

Feng Yuxiang fell silent for a moment to ponder. Then, she spoke, "If you want numbers, you should visit the Abyssal Underworld. All sorts of insect-type magical beasts dwell there, and they typically come in massive numbers, such as the Abyssal Crystal Ants."

"Sounds like just the place I want to go. How far is it?"

After some calculations in her head, Feng Yuxiang replied, "A month, but it’s quite close to the Undying Fiery Summit."

"Alright. Lead the way."

Feng Yuxiang summoned her flying treasure, and the two sped away. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

After several teleportations and a month of travel, they finally arrived at their destination.
