Armipotent

Chapter 2232 Proposal (1)

Phoenix was considered on the same level as Heavenly Beast on their own. A mythical creature with power many desired. Not just the Sacred Realm, but also the people from the God Realm.

The phoenix fire didnʼt just contain destruction, but also contained healing ability. That was what the current patriarch tried to achieve, the perfect and pure phoenix fire. That was why they killed the phoenix and used its remnant to generate phoenix inner energy to help with their cultivation.

Even so, they failed to achieve the desired result. Hundreds of years passed, and they could not reach their goal after slaughtering the phoenix. It was not that they didnʼt make progress, but it was far from the desired result they wanted.

Feng Zhan was one of the few who opposed the idea of slaughtering the phoenix. But he didnʼt have the authority or the power to stop his brother and others from his family. However, he was the first one to achieve their goal.

Accepting the System was the way to achieve the perfect phoenix fire. The System told him that he had awakened the phoenix bloodline, and he further enhanced his bloodline from the trial. That made his fire even better than the ordinary phoenix.

Of course, Feng Zhan kept it secret from his family. Keeping it secret while stationing himself away from his family. He tried to get stronger on his own because he knew one day retribution would come to his family.

The retribution truly came because the man who was stronger than him attacked the Feng Family. From that short conversation, this outsider was under contract with the variant phoenix for revenge. He was not surprised that an outsider was willing to go this far to obtain a phoenix.

Feng Zhan knew the outsider had a way to extract bloodline from the beast. This outsider might try to get the phoenix bloodline for himself or his people. Whatever the reason, this was a great boon for the outsider. Just as the outsider mentioned, this was no different from what the Feng Family did to Phoenix, committing slaughter for power.

”What if I say that I can give you what you want, but with conditions?”

Feng Zhanʼs words caught Tang Shaoyang off guard, as did the Grand Elder behind him. The Grand Elder had a disbelief look on his face, understanding the words that Feng Zhang just said. It meant Feng Zhan would direct his sword toward his own family instead of protecting the Feng Family.

Tang Shaoyang let out a chuckle, ”It seems you are under a misconception that I need your help to get what I want.”

”No, I am not. I know well what my family faces, hence I offer the proposal. The conditions are not asking you to spare my life or the otherʼs in responsible for the phoenixʼs slaughter.”

Feng Zhan didnʼt fail to surprise Tang Shaoyang again. It seemed Feng Zhan knew he was no match for Tang Shaoyang. Of course, Tang Shaoyang was not going to believe the manʼs words. He was not that naive.

”The conditions are to spare the people and the city, along with the Feng Familyʼs children. In exchange, I will give you the list of who was involved in the phoenixʼs slaughter and help that phoenix for her revenge as well.”

He mentioned the children, but not the women and the elderly. It was clear what Feng Zhan tried to do. It was to secure the Feng Familyʼs future, to ensure the Feng Family didnʼt disappear.

”Why should I believe…” Tang Shaoyang didnʼt finish his words as Feng Zhan grabbed the Grand Elder by the neck.

Then the Grand Elderʼs whole body burned in golden-crimson fire. The quality of Feng Zhanʼs fire was completely different than the Grand Elderʼs. The Grand Elder screamed in pain as he could not believe what Feng Zhang did to him.

”WHY!? WHY ARE YOU BETRAYING THE FAMILY! WHY!?”

The Grand Elder kept questioning Feng Zhang while in pain. Meanwhile, Feng Zhang had his head lowered, not looking the Grand Elder in the eyes. The guilt was obvious in his eyes.

Tang Shaoyang didnʼt wait for Feng Zhan to finish off the Grand Elder, as he snatched the Grand Elder. He crushed the Grand Elderʼs neck and quelled the golden-crimson fire. It was not that many feet for quelling the fire. He just used his Chaos Energy to get rid of Feng Zhanʼs energy that fueled the fire.

After hearing the killing notification, he put the body into his inventory, ”I will take the bodies. Not just him, but the other dead bodies as well as the phoenix bodies in your training hall.”

Feng Zhan could not sense the movement from Tang Shaoyang. He thought no one could remain undetected when he reached the God Realm, getting talent, and even enhancing his bloodline. He was wrong about it, so this was the rumored new monster from the Executive Administrator.

His return was about to update the situation in the God Realm, and more importantly, about the new Executive Administrator. He got information that the new Executive Administrator was in the Sacred Realm.

He was about to tell his family about the Executive Administrator, to ensure not to offend this new Executive Administrator, who had left unscathed after making a scene at the Hurakan Kingdomʼs kingʼs birthday celebration.

That was why he returned to make sure that no fools from his family crossed paths with Tang Shaoyang. Alas, he found the man with the exact sketch of the Executive Administrator in his secret realm. He wished the Executive Administrator were here for the phoenix bodies they stored for training.

On top of that, he was here to help the phoenixʼs revenge. His fighting spirit told him to give it a try to fight the Executive Administrator, but his rational mind told him to ensure the Feng Family does not disappear from history.

Another thing he was being reminded of was that Tang Shaoyang hadnʼt gone all out yet. While there was no complete information, he managed to gather a little bit of information about the class and bloodline.

Tang Shaoyang was known for having a dragon bloodline, one of the strongest types of dragons. Another problematic issue was the class. His class was also known for being absurdly strong, which led to a big alliance, the likes of Nirvana Alliance, seeking its eradication.

He knew little to nothing about the Spirit Contractor, but he was not going to risk the whole cityʼs safety just to find out about it. That was why he offered the proposal.

”You seem to know about me?” Tang Shaoyang looked Feng Zhan in the eyes.

”Yes. I am in charge of the Feng Familyʼs branch in the God Realm. While we donʼt have an interest in expanding our influence outside there, we need to keep up with the God Realmʼs power structures. Your name is always the headline in the information guild.”

There was no need to hide from Tang Shaoyang. He was seeking mercy.

”So the Feng Family owns an information-gathering guild?” Tang Shaoyang asked with a thoughtful look on his face.

Feng Zhan didnʼt know why Tang Shaoyang asked, but the Feng Family had their own people for information gathering. While it was not official and not as extensive as the information gathering faction, it was quite decent.

”We do, but ours is not as extensive as the actual information faction.”
