Aunt Ru Fengwu and the two entered the palace, leaving only Xiao Yang and Baimei waiting outside.

Xiao Yang paced in the corridor in boredom, looked around at the magnificent palaces around him, looked at the palace guards who came and went, and after careful induction, he found that each of them had at least the cultivation of the Golden Immortal, and from time to time there were also the leaders of the Taiyi Golden Immortal patrolling back and forth, and even he sensed that there were several Great Luo Xiuwei leaders guarding around the hall not far away, which surprised him greatly.

The guardian power under this volcanic pool has surpassed that of the Lingxiao Treasure Palace, is the Phoenix Clan already strong enough to be comparable to the Demon Clan?

Xiao Yang thought about it secretly for a while, and finally shook his head, only sighed secretly, and said in his heart: "No wonder Emperor Jun Taiyi retreated when he attacked the Dragon Clan, a Phoenix Clan is so powerful, then the Dragon Clan is probably not as simple as it seems." ”

"What is the eldest prince thinking?" Bai Mei saw his thoughtful appearance and stepped forward to ask.

Xiao Yang shook his head with a wry smile, did not answer, but changed the topic, and asked Bai Mei: "By the way, Bai Mei, I haven't asked, according to your cultivation in the early stage of Da Luo Jin Immortal, you don't want to dominate one side in the flood wilderness, but if you survive, there should be no problem, why did you choose to lead the clan to join the Phoenix Clan?"

"This, this ......" Bai Mei thought that Xiao Yang was asking for the guilt, after all, her Xianhe clan was also a member of the demon clan, and now she led the clan to join the Phoenix clan, which was tantamount to betraying the demon clan, so she lowered her head and didn't know how to answer.

After a while, she secretly glanced at Xiao Yang a few more times, and saw Xiao Yang with a smile on his face, and he didn't mean to question, and his heart relaxed slightly, but she was still nervous, and stammered for a long time, and finally she gritted her teeth, knelt down, put down the small bamboo basket in her hand, kowtowed and said: "I hope the eldest prince is considerate, Bai Mei led the clan to join the Phoenix Clan, it is a last resort!"

Xiao Yang was stunned, he just asked casually, he didn't expect Bai Mei to react so much, looking at Bai Mei lying on the ground, but he couldn't see the expression on her face, Xiao Yang sighed lightly: "It's because the Lich Tribulation is coming, and the demon master Kunpeng has rebelled, so you all secretly take refuge in others to seek a way to survive, but?"

"What the eldest prince said is only one of the reasons, but not all, Bai Mei had to make this choice for the sake of the ethnic group. Bai Mei still crouched on the ground and said.

When Xiao Yang heard this, he just nodded, and did not speak again, he did not reprimand Bai Mei was greedy for life and afraid of death, because he himself was also greedy for life and afraid of death at the beginning, otherwise when the lich fought for the first time, how could he cheat death and hide in the western Sumeru Mountain?

People do whatever it takes to live, this is instinct, whether this instinct is the unparalleled perseverance that people praise, or the betrayal of faith and morality that people spurn, but this instinct cannot be denied, so he understands Bai Mei's choice in his heart, but it is impossible to say that he agrees.

Just like now, he denied his decision to hide in Mount Meru, and he also disapproves of Bai Mei's betrayal and helplessness.

Xiao Yang thought for a long time, half a cup of tea passed, and the white eyebrows lying on the ground still didn't hear Xiao Yang's voice, she couldn't help but slowly raise her head, seeing Xiao Yang falling into deep thought, she thought about it a little, and called: "The eldest prince?

"Huh?" Xiao Yang woke up suddenly, turned his head and saw that Bai Mei was still kneeling, and couldn't help but stretch out his hand and smile: "You get up, I haven't held you accountable, you don't have to be like this." ”

He paused, saw Bai Mei slowly get up when he heard this, and laughed at himself: "Even if I want to hold you accountable now, I don't have that ability, the demon clan is already sunset, the phoenix clan is thriving, and the good birds choose trees to perch, what can I say? What do I have to say?"

"Plop"

Before Xiao Yang's words fell, Bai Mei, who had just stood up slowly, knelt down again, and she kept kowtowing and said: "The eldest prince, if it is not Bai Mei's forgetting of righteousness and betraying the demon clan, it is really Bai Mei's last resort." ”

Seeing that Xiao Yang only glanced at her, he no longer paid attention to her, so she explained: "Bai Mei was originally the princess of the Xianhe clan, and her father was the patriarch of the Xianhe clan, but during the Lich World War II, both parents and the Wu clan died together. Suddenly, the crane clan lost its support, eldest prince, you also know that there are many demon races, not all of them can live in peace, and they are also rivals and natural enemies. If the two clans fight each other as natural enemies, in this case, the Heavenly Emperor and Demon Emperor will not care, and it just so happens that the Crane clan is close to the natural enemy snake clan. After the Lich World War II, the Serpents launched an attack on us. ”

As he spoke, Bai Mei fell into memory.

"On that day, the patriarch of the snake clan led countless pythons and poisonous snakes to attack the habitat of the crane clan, because my parents had just gone, and I had just taken power, and before I could recover from my grief, I was attacked by the snake clan. In that battle, I couldn't command the crane clan to resist in an orderly manner, and no one could resist the patriarch of the snake clan, we were naturally defeated, countless clansmen died, blood soaked the habitat of the crane clan, the crane's wailing sound, endlessly, eyes full of countless cranes' corpses, even my brother Baihe and I were separated, no one was born, no corpse was dead, huh. ”

Bai Mei talked about her brother Bai He, crying sadly, she shed tears, telling herself about the misery of the Xianhe clan after the Lich World War II, Xiao Yang frowned, looked at Bai Mei, thinking that this is nature's survival of the fittest, Emperor Jun Taiyi does not interfere with such natural enemies to fight each other, so he can only sigh leisurely, and asked, "And then?"

Listening to the question, he took a deep breath, wiped the tears from his face with white eyebrows, and continued: "Then, of course, I led the remnants of the clan to flee all the way, and the snake clan chased after him, and finally arrived at the border of this Nanming volcano, but he was rescued by Princess Linglong. ”

"After that, you took refuge in the Phoenix Clan and became Feng Linglong's personal girl, but so?" Xiao Yang guessed.

Bai Mei had already controlled her emotions at this time, and her tears were wiped away, returning to her usual appearance, but her red eyes still made people see that she had just cried.

In the face of Xiao Yang's question, she did not deny it, nodded calmly and said, "What the eldest prince said is right, that's it." ”

After Xiao Yang listened, he was silent, he never expected Bai Mei to have such a life experience, maybe among the demon clans who took refuge in others, many demon clans were like Bai Mei.

In the battle of the lich, the high-level of the clan died, and the natural enemies who survived after the war attacked, and Emperor Jun Taiyi didn't care about the battle between the demon clan and the natural enemies of each other, so the desperate clan had to take refuge in others, which may not be their fault, which made Xiao Yang understand that the hodgepodge of the demon clan was not only an internal trouble for Kunpeng, but at the beginning of its establishment, it was in the internal struggle, it grew up in the internal struggle, and it may also die with the internal fighting.

After thinking about it, Xiao Yang shook his head, threw the demon clan who was about to die out of his mind, glanced at the kneeling white eyebrows and said: "You get up, I didn't mean to ask you, I just wanted to ask you about your thoughts and situation when you took refuge in others, and now I understand it all, and I can't blame you." ”

Bai Mei listened to his gentle tone, although his expression was light, but there was no harsh blame, he was relieved, stood up slowly, bowed, and thanked: "Thank you for your understanding." ”

Xiao Yang waved his hand, staring at the palace in front of him, and muttered to himself: "It's not easy to be born in the wilderness, I don't know whether I should be happy to be immortal, or I should be worried about the danger of my life at any time, I should do it myself, and I can't make a mistake." ”

After speaking, he closed his mouth and didn't say anything more, and when Bai Mei saw this, he didn't dare to speak again, but stood quietly behind Xiao Yang, waiting with him for the words of the people in the palace.

After a while, Aunt Ru's voice finally came from inside: "Qingyang Daoyou, white-eyed girl, you all come in." ”

Xiao Yang looked at the splendid palace in front of him, smiled and stepped forward, carrying a small bamboo basket with white eyebrows, and followed.
