After a brief silence, the Primordial Phoenix finally spoke, "Though I cannot punish you for luring the Rising Phoenix Clan to your side, I can certainly punish you for slandering the Celestial Emperor's name."
"Just because you refuse to believe it doesn't make it slander," Yuan replied calmly. "Still, if you wish to fight, I'll be more than willing to oblige."
The Primordial Phoenix silently swept his gaze over Yuan and the others in the chamber. Alongside Yuan and Feng Yuxiang stood Feng Lingyang, Feng Haoyu, and the Grand Elder. Though his cultivation surpassed them all, he ultimately chose not to act.
"You should be grateful the Celestial Emperor forbade me from touching you," the Primordial Phoenix said. "At least, for now."
Yuan raised his brows in surprise. "Oh? The Celestial Emperor told you not to fight me? How unusual… or perhaps he intends to deal with me personally?"
