Sacred Phoenix vs. Necrovalley

A friend and I have this ongoing debate on whether or not Sacred will come back even if Necrovalley is on the field. He thinks so because Vampire Lord can come back, and I doubt it would. Anyone able to help?

He is correct. Notice the following:
"Necrovalley" will NOT negate effects that are activated when a card is sent TO the Graveyard or that activate IN the Graveyard or that count cards in the Graveyard

Compared with:
If your opponent controls your "Sacred Phoenix of Nephthys", and it is destroyed by a card effect, because the effect activates in the Graveyard, it is the owner that gets the effect and Special Summons "Sacred Phoenix of Nephthys" during their Standby Phase.

I guess I would just have to ask myself why Sacred Phoenix of Nephthys would be any different than Vampire Lord....
