Cultivation Online novel Chapter 2133

"It's already been half a year, and not a single clan has sided with the Young Master..." Feng Yuxiang sighed, her voice echoing softly through the empty chamber.

The words of the Primordial Phoenix still lingered in her mind, gnawing at her optimism day after day.

She couldn't help but wonder what would happen if none of the Royal Phoenix Clans chose to side with Yuan and instead continued their allegiance to the Celestial Emperor.

A few days later, the chamber doors creaked open, and a lone figure stepped inside.

Feng Yuxiang turned, expecting to see one of the clan leaders-only to be disappointed.

"Oh... It's just you," she muttered, her tone tinged with disappointment. "What do you want?"

Feng Haoyu bowed slightly and said, "I wish to swear my allegiance to the Immortal Monarch-or rather, to reaffirm my loyalty to him."

"That's cool and all, but what about your family? Where are they?"

Feng Haoyu let out a heavy sigh. "It's complicated. While most of my clan wishes to follow the Immortal Monarch, they can't simply pledge loyalty without first seeing what the others decide. In other words... they're waiting."

"That's bullshit," Feng Yuxiang said with a deep frown. "Why should it matter what the others do? The Ten Royal Phoenix Clans are separate clans, not one united background."

Feng Haoyu shook his head. "You probably don't know this since you were barely with us, but despite the name, the Imperial Vermilion Phoenix Clan holds the most authority. In the end, their word is what carries the most weight."

"Why is it that way?" Feng Yuxiang asked.

"Because originally, there was only one Royal Phoenix Clan-the Imperial Vermilion Phoenix Clan. But after the Ten Royal Dragon Clans were established, they chose to expand their influence by mirroring the dragon clans, creating the Ten Royal Phoenix Clans."

The dragon and phoenix clans had been rivals since ancient times. Unwilling to fall behind the Ten Royal Dragon Clans, the phoenixes established their own Royal Clans, selecting the most qualified among them to rise to that position.

"So you're telling me that unless the Imperial Vermilion Phoenix Clan sides with the Young Master, the others will not do so?"

"Well, it's not impossible, but it's very unlikely."

"I cannot fathom why they would choose the Celestial Emperor over the Immortal Monarch. Yes, the Celestial Emperor is powerful and influential, but their bloodlines would benefit far more under the Immortal Monarch," Feng Yuxiang said with a sigh, shaking her head in frustration.

"Honestly," Feng Haoyu replied, "while the Immortal Monarch was a legendary figure in the past, countless years have passed since then. To the Ten Royal Phoenix Clans, who never had any direct ties to him, he doesn't really hold a place in their eyes."

Hearing this, Feng Yuxiang fell silent.
