Chapter 641: The Arrival of the Crystal Phoenix

"ENOUGH!"

A cold voice rang out at this moment, and in the next instant, Mei Gongzi's expression slightly changed. She felt an overwhelming pressure, as if the entire sky collapsed instantly, descending upon her.

At that moment, two figures almost simultaneously appeared beside her.

The Peacock Great Demon King's wings spread out behind him, shielding his daughter. His divine consciousness erupted with full force, soaring crazily as he collided with the opponent without hesitation.

Beside Mei Gongzi, a masked bald man appeared. His divine consciousness instantly merged with hers, boosting her aura immensely.

Mei Gongzi looked in surprise, and the masked Tang San smiled slightly and nodded at her.

Yes, he was here. In fact, he’d been here from the beginning.

When Mei Gongzi left, he had already woken up, but he said nothing. Today was her stage, so he simply watched quietly from the sidelines, watching over her without interfering. Only when a truly formidable enemy appeared did he come to her side to face it together.

However, Mei Gongzi's joy only lasted momentarily before her mood sank again. Precisely because she had reached the god level, she could better sense how powerful the overwhelming pressure was, along with a very familiar aura. She knew who it was.

That guy was finally making his move.

When the Ice Phoenix Hu Mengyu appeared, Mei Gongzi had actually already guessed it. But when the one behind him really showed up, it still brought her tremendous psychological pressure.

With a flick of her foot, the spatial prison beneath her shot out, flying a hundred meters away before the spatial power dissipated, releasing the disheveled Hu Mengyu.

In the distant sky, figures flew rapidly closer. Among them was a huge, crystalline figure radiating dazzling light under the morning sun, as if another sun had appeared in the sky.

Beside it were other flying figures, each radiating dazzling brilliance and powerful auras.

The Peacock Demon clan also reacted at this moment. All god-level powerhouses, even the queen consort who had been confronting the Peacock Great Demon King earlier, had already taken flight, releasing their bloodline auras. They stood protectively on either side of the Peacock Great Demon King, whose face had turned somewhat pale from bearing the brunt of the opponent’s divine consciousness assault.

A resounding phoenix cry echoed through the heavens and earth, shaking the entire world.

A dazzling beam of light flickered in the sky, followed by a dozen phoenix cries that resonated with it.

The one appearing at this moment to interfere with the Peacock Demon clan's inheritance ceremony could be none other than the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor!

The immense pressure made the entire mountain seem to tremble. The expressions of all the Peacock Demon clan powerhouses became extremely grave.

The last time the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor came, the Peacock Great Demon King was in his prime, yet even so, he had barely managed to withstand the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor by leveraging the Peacock Demon clan's long-standing heritage in Kali City.

But this time? The Peacock Great Demon King's old injuries had not healed at all. What power did he have left to resist now? Although the Peacock Demon clan had several Great Demon Kings and a dozen Demon Kings, a lineup not inferior to the opponent's, the power of an Emperor could not be measured in terms of Great Demon Kings and Demon Kings.

The voice of the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor echoed from afar, "Originally, I was going to miss this. But I heard that your ceremony was delayed by five days, so I decided to join in the fun. Wang Qing, do you know that if you hadn't exposed your daughter at the Ancestral Court, I might have waited a bit longer until the time was more opportune to come. But you brought her to the Ancestral Court, and she trampled upon everyone to become the absolute champion. At that moment, you should have realized the consequences. Last time, you managed to keep me away thanks to the Sword Saint Demon Emperor; this time, I want to see what power you have left to stop me."

The Peacock Great Demon King stared coldly at him without rushing to speak. The powerful members of the phoenix race had already arrived. This time, there were no vassals from other clans; all who came were from the phoenix race.

The Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor's handsome face carried a cold and superior expression as his gaze swept over the powerhouses of the Peacock Demon clan. "The phoenix is the king of all birds, and that includes the peacocks. I allow you to submit to me. Wang Qing and his daughter must die, but as long as you are willing to submit, you will remain part of Kali City, and the Peacock Demon clan will continue to exist."

"Bullshit! When our ancestors were still around, where were you phoenix demons? Back then, the world only knew the Celestial Fox controlling fortune and the Peacock peering into the secrets of the heavens. Where was your phoenix race?" the queen consort's angry voice rang out. Despite her extreme dissatisfaction with the Peacock Great Demon King when it came to the clan's inheritance, she still chose to stand by her husband when a formidable enemy arrived.

The Peacock Great Demon King turned to look at his wife. Despite facing the immense pressure of the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor, a slight smile appeared on his face. He reached out and took his wife's hand, "Look at you, still so impulsive, still preferring to break rather than bend."

The queen consort struggled but couldn't free her hand from his. She looked away and said coldly, "This is our mortal enemy. How can we bend?"

Indeed, not a single one of the Demon Kings or Great Demon Kings of the Peacock Demon clan was swayed by the words of the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor. The two clans were natural enemies; submitting to a mortal enemy was no different from death.

Wang Han, who was still standing beside the queen consort, sighed lightly. "Your Majesty... the clan leader is right. Our real hope lies with Little Mei. Our clan’s greatest regret is that we don’t have an Emperor, and who else can accomplish that but her? Clan Leader, let us old ones hold them off. You take the young clan leader and leave. We will buy you some time. Only if the young clan leader survives does our clan have a future. There will always be a time for a comeback."

The Peacock Great Demon King didn't directly answer him but turned to look at the queen consort beside him and asked, "What do you say?"

"Get lost, all of you. Take all the youngsters and leave. We'll stay. I never want to see you again, you bastard. I'll consider myself blind for life." The queen consort angrily shook off the Peacock Great Demon King's hand.

In an instant, all the Demon King-level members of the Peacock Demon clan radiated a brilliant silver light, causing the space element in the air to fluctuate violently. Even the castle in the ancestral land of the Peacock Demon clan behind them emitted a faint silver glow.

These Demon Kings were all determined to face death.

The Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor had only brought members of the phoenix race with him, and no vassals from other races, indicating that this time his arrival was different from the last.

Last time, he was here with a declared purpose, backed by the righteousness of the Ancestral Court. He was, of course, intent on making trouble for the Peacock Great Demon King, but under public scrutiny, he couldn't truly harm the Peacock Demon clan. Becoming Kali City Lord required much more maneuvering.

But this time, the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor had made up his mind. He had brought only the strong members of the Phoenix Clan, clearly determined to eradicate the Peacock Demon clan with a decisive, lethal strike.

The powerhouses of the Peacock Demon clan were naturally not idiots. From the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor's words just now, they understood why he was choosing to act before the timing was fully ripe. There was only one possible reason: he felt threatened.

This threat, of course, did not come from the weak and injured Peacock Great Demon King, but from Mei Gongzi, who had won the Ancestral Court's elite competition. His arrival was essentially a testament to all the Peacock Demon clan of Mei Gongzi's astonishing potential. Among the entire young generation, she was one of the very best, if not

the

very best.
