Qing recognized this Phoenix; upon first entering the Phoenix Nest and after the Feng Si ritual, it was this Phoenix that had seized the Green Bird's body to meet him. It gave Qing a set of Secret Books—recording the preferences and taboos of each member of the Phoenix Clan.
Its name was Feng Qi, with dark flames that carried an aura of the Netherworld.
Upon seeing Feng Si and Qing, it let out a long cry and, flapping its wings, descended to them.
The people from Sword City Mountain had not all come out; Feng Qi's aura ran wild, shrouding the entire sky with dark clouds, and the air was chilling with Yin Qi. It was not a place suitable for ordinary cultivators to live.
"Little guy, you've gotten stronger since I last saw you!" Feng Qi, fluttering its wings, hovered over Qing's head and looked down at him.
Unlike Feng Si who had shrunk in size, it remained at its original size, casting a shadow so large it eclipsed the sun while floating in the air.
