I am the son of the Dragon God in Douluo Continent.

Under Yan Shaozhe's guidance, Xu Xingyu arrived at a room where she saw Ma Xiaotao lying on a cold jade bed with her eyes closed. At the same time, a golden light shield enveloped Ma Xiaotao.

It looks like Mu En personally placed the seal on Ma Xiaotao.

After observing for a while, Xu Xingyu frowned and looked at Ma Xiaotao, because the situation was somewhat different from what he had imagined.

At this moment, Ma Xiaotao's face was pale, and her once healthy body looked as if someone had drastically drained her of her vitality.

A mere riot of evil spirits shouldn't have caused this situation!

Xu Xingyu turned to Yan Shaozhe with a puzzled look, to which Yan Shaozhe could only sigh helplessly and say, "It's my fault."

"You should remember that you and Xiaotao both received rewards for your performance in that inner court assessment, right?"

Xu Xingyu nodded and gestured for Yan Shaozhe to continue.

"The reward that Xiaotao received was a feather from the legendary mythical beast Vermilion Bird, which one of the deans of Shrek Academy obtained by chance a thousand years ago."

"With the help of that feather and your assistance in suppressing her evil fire, Xiao Tao's cultivation level soared like lightning. Before the competition, she had already reached level 70 and was only one spirit ring away from officially becoming a Soul Saint. However, I don't know why this situation has now been caused by that Vermilion Bird feather."

"Although I only heard about it afterward, it's true that the Judgment Sword used by Ji Juechen was an extraction soul tool that possessed both light and darkness elements, right?"

"At the moment when Xiaotao was attacked by that sword, the power of light and darkness eroded Xiaotao's body, and the Yin and Yang Fire within her also merged with that power of light and darkness."

"Finally, her martial soul mutated, and her phoenix bloodline was completely strengthened. Her Yin and Yang Fires also advanced to the ultimate Yang Fire containing the power of light and the ultimate Yin Fire containing the power of darkness, respectively. With the mutual balance of the two elements of light and darkness, Ma Xiaotao should theoretically not have any more problems."

"However, for some reason, that Vermilion Bird feather seemed to sense something and began to absorb Ma Xiaotao's soul power and life power in large quantities. Now, even my teacher, Dragon God Douluo, can only seal it to alleviate Xiaotao's symptoms."

"Your Spirit Pagoda is an alliance with the Soul Beast race. Do you know why that Vermilion Bird feather would do such a thing? As an auspicious being, the Vermilion Bird shouldn't be doing such a thing!"

Xu Xingyu did know the answer to Yan Shaozhe's question. At the same time, he really wanted to punch him directly and give the Vermilion Bird feather to Ma Xiaotao, the holder of the Phoenix Martial Soul!

!

It would be strange if things didn't go wrong! Don't be fooled by the fact that both are kings among bird-type soul beasts, and don't believe the ignorant people who claim that the Vermilion Bird is the Phoenix. The relationship between the Vermilion Bird and the Phoenix clan is as bad as it gets!

As the superior of the Vermilion Bird God in ancient times, Xu Xingyu knew better than anyone else that what the Vermilion Bird hated most were those arrogant and slovenly birds!

In her previous life, Xu Xingyu, who belonged to the Starry Dragon Emperor, had a very good relationship with the Vermilion Bird God, a scroll-related deity. In fact, to some extent, the Vermilion Bird God had an ambiguous relationship with the Starry Dragon Emperor.

The Vermilion Bird Goddess is very cheerful and gentle. She is a subordinate who is younger than the Starry Dragon Emperor but always likes to act as an older sister. If you treat her well, she will treat you well; if you treat her badly, she will not give you a good look.

In some ways, it can be considered a breath of fresh air among the birds and beasts of ancient times.

The Vermilion Bird Goddess disliked the Phoenix Clan the most, not only because of their overly arrogant nature, but also because of some things they had tried to do to her.

After all, the phoenix clan ruled over birds at that time, and the phoenix clan was a strange race that was so arrogant that it believed that all things in the world revolved around it.

This is why the Phoenix Clan always challenges the Dragon Clan. They believe that the leader of the Beast Clan should be from their Phoenix Clan, and only their Phoenix Clan is worthy of it.

Unfortunately, their patriarch, the Phoenix God, also known as the First Phoenix of the World, could not overcome the obstacle of the Dragon God no matter how many times he challenged him.

This is why the Phoenix Clan has always been hostile to the Dragon Clan and the Dragon God, the ruler of the Dragon Clan; their pride does not allow them to be subservient to others.

The biggest reason why the pure-blooded phoenix has been completely wiped out is this arrogance.

Because he was defeated by the Dragon God many times, the Phoenix God harbored resentment towards the Dragon God and had been in seclusion to cultivate in an attempt to surpass the Dragon God.

However, the Dragon God possesses a unique characteristic that is unique in the universe. Therefore, no matter how hard the Phoenix tries to cultivate within the divine realm where the Dragon God resides, it will never surpass the Dragon God.

Therefore, the Phoenix God could only shift its focus to combat power. If its combat power were strong enough, it might be able to challenge the Dragon God, who was of a higher level, and defeat him.

After all, the only thing that restricts cultivation and combat power in the universe is another matter. Therefore, theoretically, as long as one's foundation and combat power are above that of the Dragon God, there is still a chance of winning.

The moment the Vermilion Bird was born, the Phoenix God saw hope of defeating the Dragon God.

The Vermilion Bird Goddess is actually very similar to the Starry Dragon Emperor. She can be said to be the emperor of the bird-beast race, a bird-beast race formed by the condensation of the heaven and earth's fortune, and no less powerful than the phoenix.

However, when the Vermilion Bird was born, the Phoenix did not intend to raise its own imperial beast like the Dragon God did. Instead, it planned to devour it after the Vermilion Bird had become powerful enough, so that it might be able to obtain power surpassing that of the Dragon God.

When the Vermilion Bird God had cultivated to the level of a first-level god, the Phoenix God felt that the time was ripe to devour him in order to evolve his own bloodline.

As it turned out, Suzaku had already sensed the Phoenix Clan's strange attitude towards him, and immediately fled from the Phoenix Clan at all costs.

Not long after, rumors spread that the Vermilion Bird God had become a subordinate of the Starry Dragon Emperor and one of his four sacred beasts.

This enraged the Phoenix Clan, who then planned to snatch the Vermilion Bird back and devour it along with its soul.

This led to a full-scale war between the Phoenix Clan and the Dragon Clan. In the end, the Dragon Clan emerged victorious, while the Phoenix Clan was completely wiped out.

Pure-blooded phoenixes no longer exist on the Douluo Continent, and even the Golden Silver Blue Demon Bird clan, which gave birth to phoenixes, has been eradicated.

Now, only some soul beasts or soul masters who possess the bloodline of the phoenix remain, such as the Emerald Swan Bi Ji, Ma Xiao Tao with the Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul, and so on.

Therefore, it is perfectly normal for Ma Xiaotao to be in this situation. Although the feathers left behind by the Vermilion Bird do not have intelligence, they resonate with the aura of the Phoenix Clan.

Previously, Ma Xiaotao's phoenix aura was too mottled, so the Vermilion Bird feathers were not given much attention. However, under the stimulation of the Sword of Judgment, Ma Xiaotao's martial soul and bloodline underwent a positive mutation, causing her phoenix bloodline to become purer and purer.

This caused the resentment towards the phoenix in the Vermilion Bird's feathers to be aroused, leading to the current situation.
