Phoenix has deepened its roots in the heavenly court system for many years, laying a solid foundation of human connections. Even if it doesn't bring together a hundred followers after wearing the yellow robe, at least it has some standing to bully an outsider.
She, upon losing her temper and scolding Qingyao, was followed by many gods and divine lords attending the Peach Blossom Festival who also voiced their opinions.
"What are your identities? How dare you challenge the Generalissimo? Quickly retreat!"
"Wilderness dwellers, truly uncultured, where is this? This is the fairy spring, the supreme place of the three realms, not a place where you can run wild."
Old Zhu has always been a kind of character that depends on the power of others. He is not very wise, but he is full of small intelligence. Seeing Phoenix bear the brunt of enemy fire, he completely let himself go and pointed at Qingyao, cursing: "You're not an enlightened person. You don't know how high or far you are. You're arrogant to an extreme, it's ridiculous. Pass my test first and then challenge the Generalissimo."
The Great Spirit even stood up, making a loud wail on the side. With his massive, wall-like body and a face full of anger, just looking at his fierce appearance with his tangled whiskers and raised spear, he really does seem like the first most formidable general in the heavenly court.
Taibai Jinxing and Ji Ziyao were indeed cunning. The two old men hid among the other immortals, their lips moving slightly, seemingly their voices were overpowered by others' curses, but in reality, they didn't say anything.
On the contrary, the Multisensory Tian Wang Maglihai, who had eaten several peach blossoms before, was quite aware. Whether in the heavenly court or on the spiritual mountain, he had to accept the management of someone. Now pretending to be ignorant, he will definitely have a hard time when he returns to the spiritual mountain in the future.
He stood beside the Great Spirit, staring fiercely to express his anger, while holding his jade lute. It seemed as if, once the fight began, he would rush in first.
As the Azure Skies watched them cursing passionately, he couldn't help but feel excited. Without caring about his status as a disciple of the Jie Sect, he directly joined in.
She fears neither Taishou Tianzun nor his consort's maid, several layers of relationships away. Who are you, being that distant?
"You're truly a savage who doesn't know the rules of propriety. Don't you even understand the concept of hierarchy? If not, then today, grandmother will teach you a lesson!"
Bixiao, who has always been careless about hierarchy, now wants to teach others about it. Phoenix just can't help but laugh at this sight.
The number of immortals exchanging fiery verbal attacks on the spot was truly astounding. Zhang Guifang and Ding Ce, both generals with their own armies, disliked such contentious exchanges. They usually just joined in directly when there was business to be handled. The current scene was clearly not meant for combat, but for the likes of old Zhu and Bixiao, these were masters of angry slurs and mockery. In this moment, they lived up to expectations by really irking Qingyao and Chili's five palace maidens to the point where their fingers trembled in anger. Qingyao, being the primary target, even turned pale from anger.
Huang Su scolded, "Are you too scared to come down? If you have the guts, then come and compete with us sisters. Let's see whose carriage is faster. Dare you? You're as timid as a mouse. What kind of flying birds clan, huh? I say it's more like a flying mouse clan!"
Phoenix smiled without speaking, completely disregarding their supposed race of carriages.
Phoenix trusted the tortoise clan and knew that once they were on the field, even if they were exhausted to the point of vomiting or dying, they wouldn't give up the race. Like the race between a tortoise and a hare, taking a break by the side of the road was impossible. But are you alright? I have eight turtles here. You have eight flying birds there. How about we put them on the same starting line to race? Who's dumb, you or me? Why don't you compare yourself with longevity instead?
I've improvised some materials to forge a carriage just for the occasion, as a way to show you my respect. You, on the other hand, are using Kunshan jade directly? The gap between us is so huge. How can you expect me to compete with you? Do you think I'm an idiot?
Whatever our enemies support, we must oppose!
Absolutely cannot be led by the nose by the other party.
She occasionally nodded her head, encouraging Old Zhu and Bixiao, implying that you can speak, say more.
Qingyao and Chigui had been in seclusion for too long, and the immortals they encountered daily probably treated them as lesser deities under the Goddess of Creation. Once they stepped beyond the range of thirty feet from the Mother of Taiyuan, each one's eyes seemed to rise to their foreheads.
They retorted two more times, although they were defending their arguments, the tone of their words was one of superiority and pride that even the most brash immortals could feel. Many immortals were very unhappy with this.
It was already quite contentious to have all the immortals come out and greet in the first place.
The immortals beside Phoenix and Golden Spiritess knew of the origins of Mother Taiyuan, but this was a minority. Most immortals were unaware of the true identity of this goddess.
The Emperor of the Heavens and the Empress would not introduce her at this event. How could they put it?
Should I say "This is the spouse of Taishou Tianzun, everyone welcome" or "This is the lady of Taishou Tianzun's household, let's applaud"?
They don't say anything, and the immortals aren't mind readers either, so they naturally wouldn't know the truth.
"Ignorance is the mother of all courage." As the conversation has already gone this far, I can curse a bit without causing any harm, right?
Since there's the Generalissimo and the General standing in front, can you really kill me for cursing twice? The arrogant attitude of the five palace maidens has attracted more immortals to join the verbal battle.
As Bixiao unleashed all his fiery words, slapping them with labels such as incompetent, arrogant, and lacking in propriety all at once, they were utterly enraged.
"Be quiet!" The five palace maidens' cultivation fused together in an instant, releasing an unimaginable amount of transformations within the seemingly simple Five Elements Dao. The five gem-like treasures that contained boundless spiritual energy exchanged places one after another, while the heavy cultivation energy transformed into a physical force and struck Bixiao directly.
Bixiao's combat strength has always been loose, and if she wasn't careful and was caught off guard by the five enemies who worked in perfect harmony, even with their lowest cultivation being a Golden Immortal, a joint attack would indeed result in her death.
In fact, it would be a strategic move to stand by and let these five individuals fight Bixiao, then provoke the Master of the Way to intervene. However, Phoenix has no habit of having others stand up for her or take a beating on her behalf.
Just a few palace maidens.
Her right forefinger and middle finger joined together, quickly drawing a mysterious incantation. Taishou Tianzun, Wangmu, and Taiyuan did not see the key point in it, but the old Taoist with his eyes half-closed and half-open, Taishang Laojun, opened his eyes wide and carefully looked at her incantation for two times.
With just a single incantation, Phoenix successfully intercepted the combined attack of the five palace maidens of the emperors.
Bixiao was taken aback for a moment, then angrily shouted, "Such impolite people, resorting to violence when they can't argue? You're just a savage! I!"
She gritted her teeth and wanted to summon the Golden Dragon Clips, but Zhao Gongming reached out to stop her, as Phoenix had already made a move.
The five palace maidens paid no attention to Bixiao, following Phoenix's red sleeves as she waved them and the five-colored divine light from Kong Xuan rushed towards their opponent full force.
"Hmm, what kind of spiritual power is this?" Qingyao furrowed her brow, having already felt that the Generalissimo seemed a bit off and had just noticed his formidable strength.
She pushed forward with both hands, and the dense, unusually strong, and fragrantly sweet wood-based spiritual energy transformed into an infinite sea of forests. From a distance, the sea of forests was silent and incredibly serene, but in the shadows, it concealed endless deadly intentions.
