The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 617 Cosmic Tyrant Framework

”Leave.”

Xina uttered those words, and the younger generation of the Fenrir Clan immediately bowed and silently left the throne room. Now that the matter with Fanir was handled, there was no need for them to remain present.

Inquisitors Amalia, Kanon, and Ekatory watched the group leave but were indifferent. It was better if those younger were not present as they would speak of topics too high-level for them.

”The Fenrir Clan does not shelter criminals and traitors, so we accept the Scarlet Kingʼs verdict. You can take those with a death penalty over their head and Fanir to the Imperial Prison.”

Although Xina was not exactly pleased with Fanirʼs outcome, she did not have any problem seeing the death of the other 16 members of the Fenrir Clan. She had seen their crimes, and if the Scarlet Inquisition Force did not take care of them, she would not allow them to sully their clanʼs Sacred Home.

Kamora and Garon shared the distaste of their Patriarch toward those criminals, so they silently nodded.

”I assume that the Scarlet King also has a plan for the other two hundred and forty-nine members of my clan with criminal charges.”

Xina did not reach her position simply due to her power but also her sharp mind. She could see that Fanir was just one of the reasons why the Scarlet Inquisition Force had come to their Sacred Clan.

Amaliaʼs soft smile remained, but the coldness in her eyes had vanished, replaced by serenity and amiability. Now that she had handled the unpleasant matters came the second part of their mission, which was even more critical.

”The Scarlet King is magnanimous, and while crimes must receive a sentence, there are different types of punishment. I will not bother with those who are only required to pay a fine, as I am sure wealth is not something the mighty Fenrir Clan cares about.”

Xina almost smiled as she heard the words magnanimous. She remembered very well the behavior of that young man upon emerging from the Astral Bloodline Realm and how he mercilessly crippled the Early Divine Ascension Master of the Umbra Clan. She doubted the man even had those feelings, but of course, she would not say them now and continued listening to Amalia.

”The ones that matter and can be shown leniency are those whose crimes demand prison time. They must face punishment for their acts but donʼt need to spend it in the Imperial Prison. The Scarlet King can change the sentence to house arrest for all who committed white collar crimes, as long as Lady Xina ensures they abide by the rules of such restraint and would not show their faces in the empire.”

Xina, Kamora, and Garon smiled as they heard that. There was a massive difference between paying their sentence in the Imperial Prison and under house arrest. First of all, while they would be confined to the Fenrir Clan Sacred Home, the city is massive, so they would have a good enough amount of freedom and still be able to cultivate, something that would not be possible in the Imperial Prison.

Some of them could go into secluded cultivation and emerge once the sentence is completed, killing two birds with one stone.

The upper echelon of the Fenrir Clan was very tempted by that arrangement as many of the names in the file were promising youths who had made stupid mistakes, and they would be happy to help them.

However, the trio knew there was no such thing as a free meal in this world, especially when they spoke of someone like the Scarlet King.

”And how can the Fenrir Clan repay the kindness and mercy of the Scarlet King?”

Xinaʼs voice was solemn, and there was a sharp light as she prepared, wondering what the Godslayer Human was after.

”Cosmic Tyrant Framework and Void Weaver Art.”

The eyes of the three Divine Ascension Masters from the Fenrir Clan widened, and a sense of shock appeared in their hearts as they heard those names.

”¡Impossible!”

Garon could not help but shout. Despite wanting to help the members of the Fenrir Clan, those two techniques were simply too valuable and the most potent core arts of the clan. But before he could say another word, Xina raised her hand.

Garon and Kamora were surprised to see Xina contemplating the idea, but they knew she would not be rash and waited for her to speak.

”The greed of the Scarlet King is truly something else.”

When Inquisitors Amalia, Kanon, and Ekatory heard that statement from the Patriarch of the Fenrir Clan, they did not get angry as they had to admit it was a good description of their leader. However, the word gluttony would be much more fitting.

Xina stared at the trio and began to calculate before a solemn expression appeared on her face.

”Although the Void Weaver Art is an extremely precious and powerful Essence Evolution Cultivation Technique of the Inner Universe Divine System, we can hand it over to the Scarlet King as we have three copies. However, the Cosmic Tyrant Framework is different.”

Amaliaʼs face had the same gravity as that of the Patriarch of the Fenrir Clan as she understood the importance of this task.

”We are aware that the Cosmic Tyrant Framework is a Natural Inheritance your clan found inside the Astral Bloodline Realm five thousand years ago that surpassed the Holy Tier and might even go beyond the Divine Tier.”

Xina, Kamora, and Garon were shocked to hear that. The knowledge regarding the Cosmic Tyrant Framework was a great clan secret since even if they were one of the Ten Great Clans, they were not unassailable, and people might get greedy and try to steal it.

Even though they had distorted the origin of the Cosmic Tyrant Framework and hidden its power, it seems that the Scarlet King was able to find it.

”The Scarlet King seems to know a lot about our clan.”
