Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy novel Chapter 400

Chapter 400: Chapter 402: The Phoenix Shows Its Might, Who Else But Me [5/7]

"What? Dragon Country really intends to make a move against us?"

The elderly, the weak, women, and children—how would they have heard the news? Living in the mountains, they were completely unaware of the outside world. All they knew was that their Fusang and Dragon Country had long kept to themselves without interference. But now, a powerful expert from Dragon Country was coming to their lands? And according to the Mountain King, this expert was going to kill them for no reason at all?

"That’s right! He refuses to let us go," the Mountain King twisted the truth. He wanted the elderly, weak, women, and children to join him in facing the enemy—the more, the better. After all, the Martial Emperor of Dragon Country was the one who had slain the Sword Saint of Fusang and shattered the Demon Blade itself.

"Then we’ll fight him with everything we have!" an old grandmother roared.

"Right! When I went down the mountain for school, my history teacher told us the people of Dragon Country are ungrateful," a child added, gnashing his teeth in anger. "Back then, we tried to lead them toward prosperity, but they rejected our help and even attacked us."

"Good, good, good!" The Mountain King, Xu Tiandi, was very pleased with their reaction. "With unity of purpose and one heart, no matter what foul demons come from Dragon Country, what do we have to fear?"

Aboard the phoenix, Wu Tian’s ears twitched. He heard everything happening on Wakayama below, every single word.

They’re descendants of Xu Fu and his followers, and they still want revenge against Dragon Country? A cold light flashed in his eyes.

"As descendants of Dragon Country, living in Fusang is no crime," Wu Tian’s clear, resonant voice boomed from the sky above. "But you have forgotten your roots and abandoned your heritage. This is unforgivable."

The Mountain King sneered, "What do you know? What do you know? It wasn’t us who betrayed our ancestors, it was you! Do you have any idea how arrogant and tyrannical Qin Shi Huang was back then?..."

"Shut up," Wu Tian interjected coldly.

Even if these people were related to the Six Kingdoms, they couldn’t have been royalty—just commoners. Where did all this hatred come from? All this resentment?

When Wu Tian told him to shut up, the Mountain King couldn’t stand it. His surname was Xu, and as a descendant of Xu Fu, he was revered in Fusang. Glaring furiously at Wu Tian, he said coldly, "This phoenix is a fake, isn’t it? A counterfeit produced with genetic synthesis and biotechnology. It’s all show and no substance!"

If Wu Tian weren’t on the phoenix, they would have certainly claimed it was real. How prestigious would it be to announce that Fusang had a phoenix? But since the creature belonged to Wu Tian, it had to be a fake. It simply had to be.

"You came to Fusang alone, so this is where you will die." The Mountain King waved his hand. "Everyone, attack! Slaughter him!"

Immediately, the mountain dwellers nocked and loosed their arrows.

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!

The sound of arrows piercing the air echoed through the mountains. Among them was a master archer whose arrows never missed. His family had practiced archery for generations for one purpose: to one day return to Dragon Country and kill one or two famous figures. Wu Tian, of course, was one of them.

Today, I will shoot your head to pieces and make my name in the Martial Arts World with a single arrow! In his confidence, he had even engraved his name on the arrowhead. At that moment, the arrow flew. It seemed capable of piercing through anything, a brilliant streak in the volley.

However, what happened next was dumbfounding.

Wu Tian had no intention of dealing with such trash himself. He muttered something under his breath, the words inaudible to those below.

The phoenix, however, heard him. He was teaching it a cultivation technique. Dad finally understands how to make a deal! the phoenix rejoiced.

Immediately, the phoenix began to channel the cultivation technique Wu Tian recited and dove straight toward the volley of arrows.

"If it’s not a bird of Fusang, then even if it’s a phoenix, it must be a fake! And it must die!" The Mountain King hadn’t expected the phoenix to be so stupid. Instead of dodging, it plunged right into the arrow volley. What is this if not courting death?

The Mountain King was already making plans. I’ll take the phoenix to the Eastern Capital later and hand it over to our scientists. We’ll surely be able to create a Fusang phoenix then. The omen of ’A Phoenix Cries on Mount Qi’ will come true! Moreover, I might be able to uncover the secret of the elixir of life from it! Perhaps, in my generation, the search will finally succeed. Then, I will shine as brightly as the sun and the moon and exist as long as heaven and earth!

Damn it! It’s you, you old geezer, who called me a fake! I am the Phoenix Ancestor, a descendant of the pure bloodline!
