Ancient Canyon

After putting away the True Ember, Yuan quickly made his way toward the exit, unwilling to remain in the Phoenixes' territory any longer.

Neither the young man nor the young lady tried to stop him. In fact, they also wanted him to leave as soon as possible.

Once they left, Yuan and Yingzi began flying back to the Mystic Valley.

"Fuck, this is why I hate royalty. They do as they please and treat us like dirt." The young man sneered in disdain once they were alone.

"We did call him a fake first…" The young lady sighed out loud.

"I don't understand what went wrong. As far as I can tell, he definitely didn't have the bloodline of an Ancient Phoenix. Yet, he was able to use Phoenix's Influence on me despite his lack of cultivation."

"Haa… forget it. It's already in the past."

Three months later, Yuan and Yingzi made it back to the Mystic Valley in one piece.
