Xu Yang Xianjun saw the grave disaster that had occurred in his land and shouted in anger, “Somebody come!”
Patriarch Tai Li was currently in the main hall of the palace with the other two patriarchs. They were attempting to persuade Feng Yuyan to make amends with Mo Ting Xianjun so that the rain wouldn’t continue, but Feng Yuyan rejected this idea.
“Who just yelled?” Patriarch Tai Li was very upset by Feng Yuyan’s stubbornness. He became even more upset after hearing the loud yell.
He opened the door of the main hall and shouted in anger, not caring about who it was.
The oppressive aura radiating from the other person was so strong that his eyes widened as he took in the clear figure in front of him. He almost got a heart attack!
“Fo-Former King, Xu Yang Xianjun!!!”
“Where’s Feng Yuyan?” he asked.
Although Xu Yang had been in seclusion all year round and was devoted to closed door cultivation, he was still aware of who was the current ruler of the Feng Clan. Just uttering that person’s name made his already bad mood turn worse.
“Grandfather?”
When Feng Yuyan had first heard that Mo Ting was going to call his grandfather out of his seclusion to straighten this matter out, he had thought that it was just a bluff, or if not so, then that it would take some time for it to be carried out.
He had never thought that his grandfather would come here this fast!
“You scoundrel! How on earth did you offend Mo Ting Xianjun?” After seeing this heavy rain, he really wanted to know what stupid thing had been done that had brought this disaster upon them.
Heaven is above, earth is below. Mo Ting Xianjun could control rain and make it fall wherever he wanted, but he couldn’t do the same! The power gap between them was too great.
“Grandfather, it wasn’t me who provoked Mo Ting Xianjun. He was the one who was unreasonable and destroyed my ice thorn whip, the magic weapon that is handed down from generation to generation in our family!”
“Shut up!” Xu Yang Xianjun gave Feng Yuyan a fierce look.
“Tai Li, what the hell is going on? Tell me all of it. If even one word of what you tell me is a lie…” Xu Yang swept his gaze at all the people in the hall as he threatened, “Don’t blame this old man for making all your lives difficult!”
“This…”
Patriarch Tai Li glanced at Feng Yuyan. He decided that it was better to listen to the Old King’s commands, and so he told him the truth, narrating all the events that had happened after he had left.
Everything—from how Feng Yuyan had married a pheasant-turned-human after the death of the former queen and had a son with that pheasant. Then how, for that son, he had abandoned Feng Yang, and for that pheasant wife, he had broken Feng Yang’s spiritual roots and expelled him from the clan, even removing his name from the Divine Book…

Patriarch Tai Li bit his lips. “That… I don’t know how Mo Ting Xianjun got to know His Highness Feng Yang. But he said that His Highness Feng Yang was his fiancée, and from what I saw, he protected him very seriously. The person he is most probably referring to is His Highness Feng Yang.”
Xu Yang Xianjun asked Feng Yuyan, “Did you really destroy Feng Yang’s spiritual roots and remove his name from the Feng Clan’s Divine Book?”
Feng Yuyan bowed his head and said nothing.
“Speak! Have you gone dumb?!” shouted Xu Yang Xianjun.
No matter how overbearing Feng Yuyan was, he didn’t dare to make a fuss in front of his grandfather.
“It’s that unfilial son’s fault, he insisted on not giving the Xianjue grass to me! Otherwise, how could I have laid such a heavy hand on him?”
Without saying a word, Xu Yang Xianjun raised his hand and gave him a hard slap. Blood rolled down from the corner of Feng Yuyan’s mouth.
“You ungrateful fool! If it wasn’t for your wife, would you be where you are today? You still have the face to talk about Xianjue grass?!
“Since the Xianjue grass was left by her, it naturally belongs to Feng Yang! How could you even have the intention to snatch it for your woman?
“You are… Someone come here! Bring that woman and her son to me!”
Feng Yuyan was a little anxious. “Grandfather, what are you going to do?”
Xu Yang Xianjun humphed and sat on the throne. “What am I going to do? Of course, clean up your mess! Although the Feng Clan isn’t as prestigious and powerful as the Long Clan, I can’t tolerate you forcing such a disaster onto my clan!”
Not long after, someone brought Chang Siwan and Feng Xi to the main hall.
Although the two of them had been healed by Feng Yuyan, their broken spiritual roots couldn’t be repaired that fast. They looked very weak.
Feng Xi didn’t know what had just happened in the main hall. Upon being called together with his mother, and after seeing his father there, he became excited.
He grabbed his father’s sleeve and asked with red eyes, “Father! Where’s Feng Yang? Did you catch that bitch Feng Yang?”
Feng Yuyan didn’t have the nerve to reply to him in front of Xu Yang Xianjun. He pushed at the hand clutching his sleeve and said, “Be quiet!”
Chang Siwan had never met Xu Yang Xianjun. But after seeing how he was sitting on the throne and how Feng Yang was not saying anything against it, she understood that he must be a distinguished person.
She tugged at her son’s clothes and then stood quietly behind Feng Yuyan, asking in a low voice, “Is there something the King needs me for?”
Her soft and weak appearance distressed Feng Yuyan. He subconsciously brought her closer to him in a gesture of protection.
Xu Yang Xianjun didn’t feel any sympathy for the mother and son who had just entered.
He said coldly, “Yuyan, since you gave Feng Yang two choices, I will let you experience the same today. First, either you beat these two people back to their original forms and drive them away to the mortal world, or second, you can descend to the mortal world with them.”
Chang Siwan immediately turned pale and put her arms around Feng Yuyan. “King?”
Feng Xi glared at the person sitting on the throne. “Where did this old man come from? How dare you order my Father King about?”
Xu Yang Xianjun snorted disdainfully. “Tsk, such things are best kept under the table. Feng Yuyan, make your choice now! Haven’t you seen the way the heavy endless rain is falling outside? Look at what you have done! Will you involve the whole clan and bring harm to them for the things you did by yourself?”
Feng Yuyan looked at Chang Siwan and Feng Xi, pondering for a while.
Chang Siwan turned ghastly pale with fright. If she was beaten back to her original form and driven off to the mortal world, how would she be able to have a good life in the future?
She had spent so many years cultivating to transform into the human form, and had then worked hard for so many years before she could ascend to Fengtai Mountain. At that time, the only thing that had mattered to her was how to seduce Feng Yuyan, she had spared no effort to be with him.
Feng Xi had been in a bad mood ever since his spiritual roots had been broken. And now, with this strange old man pressuring his father to make a stupid choice, he became even angrier.
“This rain wasn’t caused by Father King! It was that bitch Feng Yang! If it weren’t for him seducing Mo Ting Xianjun, this misfortune wouldn’t have fallen on our clan. You should find them, and not discuss such nonsense with us here!”
Xu Yang Xianjun said coldly, “Feng Yuyan, is this the son you value? Has no respect for his elders, possesses only mediocre ability, such a person doesn’t even deserve to carry Feng Yang’s shoes!
“I witnessed Feng Yang’s birth with my own eyes, so I know that your constitution isn’t as good as his was even then. It’s fine if you didn’t pay attention to him, but how could you beat him into becoming a waste like that?
“Did you forget what you promised me when I left the Clan to enter seclusion? Is this how you protected Feng Yang? Do you know that he is the child who is most likely to attain the title of a Xianjun in the future in our Clan?
“Now that the situation is like this, he will probably never come back!”
Feng Yuyan’s expression was grim. It would be good if that son of his didn’t come back.
Feng Yang was younger than him, but his constitution was better than his, which meant that he would be stronger than him in the future. The strength of his power was exactly the same as his late mother’s.
This was the main reason why Feng Yuyan had suppressed his son.
But, such a thing couldn’t be told to Xu Yang, so he just kept quiet.
Xu Yang Xianjun’s expression was cold. “It seems that you’ve already made up your mind. If that’s the case, I think the throne is not something you can shoulder for the time being. You can’t manage your own children, how can you rule the Clan?
“After I’ve dealt with these two, go to the back mountain to repent!”
When Feng Yuyan didn’t respond, Xu Yang Xianjun’s expression turned even colder. “What is it? Do you want to go down to the mortal world with them?”
Chang Siwan grasped Feng Yuyan tightly and pleaded, “King, this concubine doesn’t want to be separated from you.”
However, Feng Yuyan clearly knew that if he chose to be together with her and Feng Xi, he would never get the throne back in the future.
He gritted his teeth. “Okay, let them go to the mortal world. But Grandfather, please don’t hurt them.”
Chang Siwan knelt down abruptly. A loud noise sounded as her knees collided against the floor.
Feng Xi, who still hadn’t understood why the situation had turned into this, yelled, “Father, what are you talking about? I don’t want to go to the mortal world! I’m not going!”
Xu Yang Xianjun couldn’t stand these wild creatures making trouble anymore. He cast a spell on the two, and beat Chang Siwan and Feng Xi back into their original forms.
One of them turned into a pheasant with brightly colored feathers, while the other was a creature none of them had ever seen before. It didn’t look like a pheasant or a phoenix. Perhaps it was a hybrid of a phoenix and a pheasant, but its proportions were very strange.
Feng Yuyan had never seen Feng Xi’s original form. Upon seeing him now, he felt an indescribable feeling. Until now, he’d thought that his son was also a phoenix like him.
Xu Yang ordered, “Send them to Feng Yang. Let him decide what to do with these two. If they hadn’t instigated you, you wouldn’t have insisted on taking his Xianjue grass.”
Chang Siwan and Feng Xi, who had become a pheasant and a little phoenix-pheasant, were so scared that they immediately circled around Feng Yuyan.
Feng Yuyan just glared at them and didn’t say anything, not even pleading for their safety anymore.
He’d never thought that such a development would take place. He had never considered that their original forms would be like this…
Xu Yang Xianjun frowned. Although he didn’t really like these two pheasants, Feng Yuyan’s current reaction was disappointing enough.
It was no wonder that the Feng Clan’s status had been declining in recent years. With such a selfish king reigning, it was simply impossible for them to prosper.
“Former King, are you leaving now?” Patriarch Tai Li saw Xu Yang Xianjun pick up the two pheasants.
“Why not? Will the rain stop if I do nothing? I’ve been away for 20 years, but this clan is no better than it was at that time! Shame on you!”
He shot a glare towards Feng Yuyan. “What are you standing there for? Follow me, you have to apologize to Feng Yang!”
Feng Yuyan snapped back, “Why should I apologize to him? He is my junior!”
“Junior? The junior you speak of is about to become the Queen of the Long Clan! You still don’t understand? There is no one who is stupid enough to provoke Mo Ting Xianjun, but you!
“I am much older than him, I am already more than 500 years old, but I still need to respect him every time we meet! Do you still not understand?”
Xu Yang Xianjun opened the portal bitterly and began to reconsider whether he should let Feng Yuyan continue to manage Fengtai Mountain.

Wow..i didn’t expect the granpa so fiery😎😎😎
“Feng Yuyan had never seen Feng Xi’s original form. Upon seeing him now, he felt an indescribable feeling. Until now, he’d thought that his son was also a phoenix like him. ”
How did this dumb person become King?
I wonder what happened to Feng Yang’s grandfather. I mean why is his great-grandpa having to leave it to this idiot grandson and not his son?
