Chapter 538
A thought suddenly flashed through Zhuo Yichen's mind, and he couldn't help but blurt out, "Zhao Yuanzhou, you just said that the Eternal Wood must be used together with the Dragon Fish Clan's Phoenix Pearl to be effective. But the Dragon Fish Clan lives in water, so how could their treasure be of the fire element?"
Zhao Yuanzhou had been striking a cocky pose, but upon hearing Zhuo Yichen's question, he froze, a trace of embarrassment on his face. After a moment, he stammered, "Well... well... I'm not entirely sure. Anyway, my inherited memories say that the Dragon Fish Clan's greatest treasure is the Phoenix Pearl. Furthermore, only by combining the Phoenix Pearl with the Eternal Wood can one achieve the effect of Phoenix Nirvana."
However, Zhuo Yichen was not satisfied with this explanation. He frowned slightly and continued to ask, "But the Dragon Fish Clan lives in the sea, and the Phoenix Pearl should belong to the Phoenix Clan! Everyone knows that water and fire cannot coexist. How could the Phoenix give its own things to the Dragon Fish Clan, with whom it has an uneasy relationship?"
Just as Zhuo Yichen was lost in thought, Hua Yu interrupted him and said with a smile, "Okay, Yuanbao, don't be so serious! Maybe a monster once saved the ancestors of the Dragon Fish Clan, so the Phoenix Clan gave the Phoenix Pearl to the Dragon Fish Clan to express their gratitude! This kind of thing is not impossible!"
After listening to this, Zhuo Yichen thought to himself that this possibility did exist, so he stopped asking Zhao Yuanzhou about the Dragon Fish Clan's Phoenix Pearl.
Zhao Yuanzhou couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after witnessing this scene. After all, the Dragon Fish Clan's possession of the Phoenix Pearl had already occurred long before he was born, and he was completely unaware of it. Furthermore, in his inherited memories, there was no information at all about the Dragon Fish Clan, a race with almost no presence.
You know, Zhao Yuanzhou was chosen by the evil spirit from birth and became a vessel for it. Because of this special identity, he was taken back to the mountain temple by Grandpa Yingzhao as soon as he was born.
Even if he occasionally had the opportunity to go out, it was always accompanied by Grandpa Yingzhao, and his activities were very limited. Therefore, he naturally had no idea about the origin of the Dragon Fish Clan Phoenix Pearl.
At this moment, Hua Yu seemed to suddenly remember something and said at the right moment, "Yuanbao, didn't you agree yesterday that you would accompany Xiaojiu, Xiaoshanshen and the others to the market downstairs today?"
Zhuo Yichen was stunned when he heard Hua Yu's words. Then, his mind quickly flashed back to the scene of him promising Bai Jiu and Ying Lei to go to the market together yesterday. He couldn't help but slap his forehead in frustration, secretly cursing himself for forgetting such an important thing.
Zhao Yuanzhou, who was standing by, saw this and quickly took over the conversation, saying, "Yes, Master Xiaozhuo, Xiaojiu and Yinglei are waiting for you in your room! They've been waiting for quite a while!"
Zhuo Yichen became even more anxious when he heard this. He quickly stood up and, while pulling Zhao Yuanzhou, said to Hua Yu, "Dad, look at my memory! I actually forgot such an important thing! I have to go over there quickly. I can't let Xiaojiu and Yinglei wait too long."
After saying that, Zhuo Yichen didn't care about anything else and hurriedly left with Zhao Yuanzhou. Before leaving, he turned back and said to Hua Yu, "Dad, I'm leaving now! I'll come back to accompany you after I come back from the market at the foot of the mountain!"
Hua Yu looked at Zhuo Yichen's impetuous look and shook her head helplessly, while Xie Yuchen, who was sitting opposite her, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile.
"Ayu, Li Lun sent word that Yuanzheng and his men have arrived at the foot of the mountain where Wufeng's headquarters is."
As soon as Zhuo Yichen left, Zhang Qiling appeared in the room, with a hint of worry in his voice.
Hua Yu was sitting by the window, holding a book in his hands. Hearing Zhang Qiling's words, he slowly raised his head and looked at Zhang Qiling. Zhang Qiling's face was solemn, and he was obviously worried about the expedition.
Hua Yu sighed softly, put down the book in her hand, and poured a cup of tea for Zhang Qiling. Zhang Qiling sat in the seat that Xie Yuchen had given up, and reached out to take the teacup that Hua Yu handed over, but did not drink it but kept holding it in her hand.
"Let Li Lun take good care of Yuanzheng. This kid is paranoid and stubborn. I don't know whose temperament he inherited from!" Hua Yu frowned and said helplessly.
Xie Yuchen watched from the side, feeling somewhat helpless. He knew Yuan Zheng's personality was indeed a bit of a headache.
"Daddy, father! I'll take my leave first!" Seeing that Hua Yu and Zhang Qiling seemed to have something to talk about alone, Xie Yuchen tactfully suggested leaving, bowed to the two of them, and then turned around to leave the room.
"Xiaohuaer, your nerves have been tense before. Now that you have finally relaxed, why don't you go to the market at the foot of the mountain with Yuanbao and the others. Your father and I have something to say alone, and I will meet up with you after we are done talking." Hua Yu turned to look at Xie Yuchen and said gently.
Hua Yu knew that ever since he and his brother were sent to this world by the magic circle modified by Pangu, even seeing Xiaohua holding on alone, his nerves had been tense and had reached a critical point. Now that he had finally come to them by faking his death, how could he let Xiaohua continue to worry about his brothers' affairs.
He has always hoped that his children can grow up carefree, but unfortunately, God plays tricks on people and always creates some unintentional accidents for them, making them experience setbacks.
"Okay! Then I'll wait for Daddy and Father to come at the foot of the mountain!"
Xie Yuchen didn't know how long it had been since he had gone out with his dad and father. Now that his dad suddenly proposed, he would not refuse.
Hua Yu and Zhang Qiling watched Xie Yuchen leave, then sealed off the entire room to ensure that no one could hear any news.
"Brother, what's wrong? Why do you look like that? Is there something wrong with the expedition?" Hua Yu noticed something was wrong the moment Zhang Qiling came in, but because Xie Yuchen was there, she suppressed her inner question.
"I went to Wufeng's place secretly and found that the mechanism inside was very familiar. It seemed to be the work of the Zhang family." After thinking for a moment, Zhang Qiling decided to explain it to Hua Yu.
"What?" Hua Yu looked at Zhang Qiling in shock. "Brother, you must be seeing things! How could the mechanism in Wufeng's headquarters be related to the Zhang family? Could it be possible?"
Zhang Qiling nodded. "You and I think the same. Perhaps Pangu's ambitions aren't limited to just one small world. The Zhang family once fell apart. No one knows how many weak-willed members of the Zhang family Pangu tricked into working for him with his big mouth."
Hua Yu also sensed the seriousness of the matter. "If this is really the case, then how many people did Pangu transport to how many small or medium worlds?"
Zhang Qiling shook his head, indicating that he wasn't even born when the Zhang family was in turmoil. "No one knows exactly how many people were killed in the Zhang family. It was a chaotic time. Not only were there betrayals from our own people, but there was also the coveting of the Wang family. So even if there were deaths, no one would have been able to record them in detail."
Hua Yu tightly grasped the scroll in her hand. "For now, our only option is to ask Father and the others for deduction. We alone cannot contend with Pangu's remnant. After all, he is a saint who has proven his Dao through strength. His abilities are hundreds, if not thousands, of times greater than our two Daluo Jinxians."
Zhang Qiling also agreed with Hua Yu's proposal and asked Daozu and Mozu to intervene in the actions of Pangu's remnant. Only in this way could his range of activities be restricted. As for those people sent to various worlds by him, they could only wait until Pangu's remnant itself was resolved before going to eliminate them one by one.
