Chapter 501 The Son of the White Emperor (1/2)
It was a phoenix that was as black as ink. If Shen Lian saw it, he would think that it looked similar to the serene bird, Qianmo. Not only from its appearance but more importantly, the pair of eyes was exactly the same.
Yinglong let out a deep roar, and the storm went towards the black phoenix. The dragon breath within the storm could destroy gold and even break the jade.
The black phoenix flapped its wings, and the storm was dispersed. Its powerful claws grabbed hold of the black steel pillars. The fire of the Netherworld flowed towards it. It let out a burp, and its sharp eyes were cold as it faced Yinglong up front.
Yinglong belonged to a noble dragon clan, and it was very likely that it had cultivated for more than ten thousand years. Normal living things could only bow down to it as they shook.
The black phoenix was not afraid of Yinglong's authority. After roaring for a while, Yinglong lost interest and began to stay in its Dragon Pond.
The black phoenix turned to look at Emperor Xia. It opened its mouth, and a letter dropped out. The letter was made of gold leaves. On top of it carved a dense amount of ancient writings, which finally fell on Emperor Xia's hand.
The followers of Emperor Xia quickly recognized where the black phoenix came from. They were all shocked.
The Eastern Barbarians had existed longer than the Xia Clan. Even Yinshang to some extent was divided out of the Eastern Barbarians, but the only difference was that the Shang Clan had broken off from the Eastern Barbarians' civilization and became a real kingdom.
There were a lot of worthwhile people that were recognized by the Xia Kingdom came from the Eastern Barbarians' side. The owner of the black phoenix was one of them.
To be exact, he was not human. He was a half demon.
He should be twenty by now.
His name was Yunyang. He was accompanied by five phoenixes when he was born. The High Priest had predicted that Yunyang was born out of thefor visiting.
After reading the letter, Emperor Xia appeared calm, but cracks began to appear on the stone pavement underneath his throne showing how disturbed he really was.
The black phoenix flapped its wings again before it flew towards the sky. Emperor Xia pumped his palm forward, blood mist and several tens of black feathers which were as if made of black steel fell from the sky. Still, they did not manage to keep the black phoenix there.
As Emperor Xia did not manage to kill it, he stopped pursuing it.
Subsequently, people found out the content of the letter. The son of the White Emperor, Yunyang would build a country in the east, and with Qiong Sang being the capital. He too would marry the most gorgeous girl from Youshi - Meixi.
People from Diqiu finally understood why Emperor Xia had the intention to conquer Youshi. Previously he asked to marry Youshi's Meixi, but Youshi rejected.
This angered Emperor Xia, and hence the idea of attacking Youshi.
The reason why Youshi dared to go against Emperor Xia was naturally that of the son of the White Emperor, Yunyang. If one day this person became somebody, perhaps it would be as predicted by the High Priest, that he would be the king of the unified Eastern Barbarian, and the next Tianyi.
The next day, Emperor Xia discussed this matter with his officials during the morning meeting.
No one knew what the authoritarian Emperor Xia thought, but as it involved the fortune of the country, Xiahou, Youhu and the rest of the twelve aristocrats and the Xia Clan discussed seriously about the issue as it would affect their fundamental benefits.
