Chapter 3810: 4.1410 The Sacred Object Ran Away

He was genuinely curious and didn't know how this "Saintess" matter had come about.

Why were both High Priests so emotionally agitated?

"Quick, quick, go invite the Grand Elder out of seclusion!" Another High Priest, beaming, turned and instructed two clan members behind him, "Tell the Grand Elder that the Saintess has appeared."

Everyone: ...

Two Great High Priests, Phoenix Island is almost completely collapsing now. Shouldn't we hurry and leave, which would be more appropriate??

At this very moment, the ten-thousand-year phoenix tree finally broke free from its underground restraints, completely pulling its root system out of the soil.

It spun once, shrinking significantly. After a few more rotations, it had shrunk to about three meters tall, and its canopy was instantly enveloped by a mass of scarlet leaves.

It grew leaves! The phoenix tree actually grew leaves!

Feng Changqing stared at everything before him in astonishment, involuntarily getting up from the ground.

Three days... no, three days haven't even passed yet. Sure enough, the little girl had revived this phoenix tree.

Not only revived, but this phoenix tree actually climbed out of the ground...

"Big Brother, this phoenix tree has become a spirit!" Feng Changfei exclaimed in surprise. "What does it want to do? It's been following that little stoic face. Could it be trying to run away with the stoic face??"

These words perfectly voiced the thoughts of many Phoenix clan members.

That's their clan's sacred object! How can it just run away with a little girl?

It absolutely cannot be allowed to escape!

"Shut up, all of you, shut up!" The two High Priests immediately jumped up, bowed to Qiao Mu, and then turned to scold Feng Changfei, "You brat, what are you saying?! How dare you be so rude to the Saintess?"

What stoic face? Even if the Saintess has a stoic face, she is still the most noble Saintess of the Phoenix clan, hmph!

"It was recorded in the ancient scrolls of our Phoenix clan. When our Phoenix ancestors first discovered this divine realm within the Phoenix Wood Forest, the phoenix tree had already existed within the divine realm."

"One could even say that the reason this area where we cultivate became a divine realm is entirely due to the sacred power released by the phoenix tree with every breath."

"The phoenix tree became the sacred object worshipped by our clan for generations, but it possesses its own autonomy."

"Our ancestors had clear instructions: if one day the phoenix tree autonomously forms its own will and wishes to leave, we must not obstruct it," the Great High Priest said solemnly.

"That's right. By utilizing this divine realm, our Phoenix clan has lived in seclusion for thousands of years, gradually growing stronger. The phoenix tree has always been our clan's sacred object, a benefactor-like existence. Our clansmen can only worship it and must not be disrespectful towards it."

The various Feng clan members looked at each other, then bowed their heads disheartened.

Since the Great High Priests had spoken, they naturally had no reason to forcibly demand that the phoenix tree stay and continue to be their Phoenix clan's guardian god.

But...

Just letting the phoenix tree run away like this felt heartbreaking.

Sigh!

The clansmen all sighed deeply.

It's fate, not luck; what's meant to come will always come.

"Saintess!" The Great High Priest bowed to Qiao Mu, saying with a beaming smile, "This small island is about to sink. We should leave first."

Qiao Mu looked at the two Great High Priests expressionlessly, then suddenly leaped onto the phoenix tree's branches.

At that instant, everyone saw the little girl beneath the tree's crimson leaves, her white gown, skin like ice and bones like jade, and her exquisite jade-colored small face, expressionless.

Just then, a scarlet flower with a claw-like base and several flowing phoenix tail tassels suddenly emerged from between the leaves.
