Chapter 385: 385: The Phoenix Family

"It just so happens that the Wuqu Academy and the Feng family have some matters to discuss recently, so you two should go together. Teacher Han, come over here; let me introduce you to Teacher Han, a high-tier expert of the Spirit God Realm."

"This time, let Teacher Han be in charge of the entire trip to the Feng family. You should get to know each other. Teacher Han, I entrust these two brats to you. Help me see if there are any problems with the Feng family."

"Inviting geniuses to study at Wuqu Academy is something I hope the Feng family can contribute to as well. Our Wuqu Academy's source of students requires the joint efforts of all the major families to have a better tomorrow."

On the way, he planned and calculated the things he would experience at the Han family this time. It would mainly be Teacher Han coming forward to see what the Feng family's attitude was.

If the Feng family had any suspicion or evidence of colluding with the evil cult, Wuqu Academy would strike without hesitation to annihilate the Feng family. The Perished World could not afford to have any crises appear.

As soon as the few of them arrived at the Feng family, they were warmly welcomed by the Feng family's Great Elder. The Feng family head had been stationed in this Sin Prison for a long time and had not chosen to return.

"Teacher Han has come with some requests from Wuqu Academy, so my Feng family dares not be negligent. Let's go inside and talk. This is our family head's daughter, Feng Yun."

"Feng Yun, you take these two to show them around the Feng family. If there are any problems, you must report them to me in time. I will discuss the matters and quotas for entering Wuqu Academy this time with Teacher Han."

Feng Yun took the two to tour the Feng family. Chen Ang began to probe halfway through and spoke first: "Feng Yun, I want to ask, why has the Feng family been in open and secret struggles with the Long family all this time? Your two families are like fire and water; what is going on with this situation? Have you never thought about reconciling?"

Feng Yun shook her head helplessly, "To be honest, I am not very clear about this situation. Father is the head of the Feng family, but overall, he cannot decide all the affairs of the Feng family. Most of the Feng family's major matters are managed by the Great Elder—the old man from just now."

"As for the matters between the Long family and the Feng family, it is a historical legacy issue. Father has always thought about finding the Long family to reconcile, but unfortunately, there is too much opposition within the clan. As the head of the Feng family, he must find a way to stabilize his rule first."

"If he causes too much dissatisfaction among the people, this position of family head will likely become the Great Elder's. The Great Elder is not suitable to hold the position of family head."

Chen Ang saw that Feng Yun was quite easy to deceive, so he thought about fishing for information. He asked: "Do you recognize this token? We picked it up on the road."

Feng Yun said in confusion: "Isn't this the token that the Great Elder's grandson, Feng Tian, lost? How is it in your hands?"

Hearing this, Chen Ang understood a little and couldn't help but ask: "Who exactly is this Feng Tian?"

"Feng Tian can be considered a genius rarely seen in our Feng family in a hundred years. He is the Great Elder's precious grandson with extremely high cultivation talent. Feng Tian lost this token a while ago; I didn't expect you to have picked it up."

The two walked on the road with Feng Yun for a while when they were suddenly blocked. Feng Yun couldn't help but laugh: "This is Feng Tian, the owner of that token. I didn't expect to run into him here."

Feng Tian said: "You two, where is my token? It's been lost for quite a long time, and I haven't been able to find it."

Chen Ang understood that these were all polite words and said with a smile: "This token was picked up on the road. It just so happened that we saw it had the Feng family's mark, so we brought it over. I didn't expect it to be yours, Feng Tian."

"Alright, then let Sister Feng Yun take you around to play here. I will leave first; I happen to have some things to deal with."

After Feng Tian left, he quietly returned to his room. A man in black appeared behind Feng Tian and questioned him loudly: "What is going on with your token? Why was it obtained by people from Wuqu Academy?"

Feng Tian said with some dissatisfaction: "Are you still going to manage these things? Just do your own job well. I gave this token to my subordinate to handle things, and I don't know why it appeared in the hands of Wuqu Academy."

"However, now that the token is back in my hands, there shouldn't be any big problems. You, on the other hand, be careful during this time. Don't affect the Demon Lord's grand plan, or we will all end up with no place to be buried."

The man in black couldn't help but say: "Rest assured, I am definitely much more cautious than you. You should be the one to pay more attention. It's fortunate that the token was successfully retrieved this time without anyone else discovering the situation."

"Otherwise, your entire Feng family would be razed to the ground. How about it? Has your grandfather agreed to our request? With your grandfather's help, you will be like a fish in water throughout the entire Feng family."

"I also know that you and your grandfather are very close. Now is the time for you to show your loyalty. I am considering it for your sake. With your grandfather's support, things will be much more convenient in the future."

"You wouldn't want your grandfather to die, would you? You should know something about the situation between the Outer Realm Demon Race and the Perished World. You simply cannot defeat the Demon Race; you are just struggling to hold on."

"We evil cultivators have long since defected to the Demon Race and have even obtained the support of the Demon Race's master. Once we conquer the Perished World, half of the resources will belong to us. This is a once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity."

"You wouldn't want your grandfather to lose his life because of this, would you? I hope you can seriously consider this matter. Is moral righteousness in your heart more important, or is being alive more important?"

"Everything is for you to choose yourself, and I won't participate too much. I believe you are a smart person and will make a smart choice."

364: Hidden Danger

"Think about the gap between the Perished World and the Outer Realm Demon Race. How many casualties has the Sin Prison suffered every year for so many years, and how many people have died in the Feng family? But what is the result in the end?"

"The Feng family was once at its peak, but after the Sin Prison constantly wore down our manpower, we began to slowly decline. Others have started to treat the Feng family as a scapegoat. Is this what you want to see?"

"You know what kind of personality the Feng family head has. He still wants to reconcile with the Long family as before. Such a family is completely unworthy of your dedication. Take my advice: help the Demon Race do things properly. In the future, when the Perished World is broken and completely fallen, we will protect your lives."

"If you continue to be obsessed and refuse to wake up, then don't blame me for being ruthless as a subordinate. Now is a critical moment; you cannot drop the ball."

When the people from Wuqu Academy returned to their rooms to rest, Feng Tian quietly came to the Great Elder's room and said: "Grandfather, I came here today because I hope you can agree to one thing for me."

The Great Elder didn't know what had happened yet. Looking at his grandson's dejected appearance, he couldn't help but ask: "My good grandson, what's wrong? Is there something the matter?"

"I have now joined the evil cultivators and chosen to stand on the opposite side of the Perished World. I hope you can lend me a helping hand."

Hearing this, the Great Elder couldn't help but frown, "I don't want to be a sinner of the Feng family. From today on, you must immediately cut off contact with the evil cultivators. Do you hear me?"

Feng Tian couldn't help but burst into tears, "Grandfather, just listen to my advice. How powerful the Demon Race's strength is, don't you know in your heart?"

"The world core of the Perished World is now gradually withering. The world core will slowly lose its power for defense, and everyone in the entire Perished World will suffer a catastrophe."

"Only by choosing to cooperate with them can we survive in these troubled times. I also know that you value the Feng family exceptionally, but in this situation, we must make a trade-off."

"Your grandson has already become an evil cultivator and cannot change it. Even if you want to kill your precious grandson, I have no complaints."

The Feng family's Great Elder saw this scene and couldn't help but sigh, "Sigh, don't worry. No matter what, I am still your grandfather. I will find a way to help you handle this matter. Let the person behind you talk to me."

A man in a black robe appeared behind Feng Tian and said with a smile: "Greetings, Great Elder of the Feng family. I am the person behind the scenes. I wonder what your instructions are?"

The Great Elder frowned and couldn't help but say: "Why did you look for my grandson in the first place?"

"This matter is not something you and I can discuss. Saying so much has no meaning. Today, I will ask you one question: are you willing to help the evil cultivators and welcome the arrival of the Demon Race together?"

"Hmph, if it weren't for my grandson's sake, I would have punched you to death long ago. I will absolutely not get involved in the Demon Race's affairs."

That person radiated the cultivation of the peak of the Sovereign Realm, catching the Feng family's Great Elder off guard.

"The experts of the Sovereign Realm are all stationed in the Sin Prison. Basically, those in the Perished World are all of the Spirit God Realm. How much damage can a peak Sovereign Realm expert like you cause to the entire Perished World? It is simply immeasurable."

"I want to know, how many experts like you are hidden in the Perished World?"

"At least dozens. This is a very good opportunity. I hope you can cherish it. I don't hope that we can become enemies."

"Happy cooperation. We are smart people. I hope that with your help, the Feng family can escape a catastrophe when the Demon Race invades. I need you to take extra care of my grandson."

The man in the black robe smiled: "Happy cooperation. Believe me, Great Elder, you will definitely be very satisfied with our performance. Look at your grandson; since he followed us, his strength has completely advanced by leaps and bounds."

"He is a key cultivation target of our evil cultivators. Now he possesses the cultivation of the Ninth Tier. In a while, he will definitely be a Spirit God Realm expert. How many people can reach the Spirit God Realm at such a young age? Where your Feng family will go in the future still depends on your decision."

"Rest assured, I will try my best to let the people of the Feng family support you. How the situation will be still needs to be constantly discussed. Anyway, we are grasshoppers on the same boat; we must advance and retreat together."

On the other side, Teacher Han brought the two from Wan Shitong to the room and said: "How is it? How did the investigation into the matter go?"

Wan Shitong smiled: "According to the current situation, we investigated that the token belongs to the Great Elder's grandson, Feng Tian. We did not find any traces. It seems that this matter really has nothing to do with the Feng family."

Teacher Han smiled: "It's best if the Feng family has nothing to do with it. The Feng family has already agreed to our request to go to the academy, and they will also send ten peerless geniuses every year. Feng Tian is one of them."

"Even if Feng Tian really has a relationship with the evil cultivators, he won't be able to stir up any waves within Wuqu Academy. With the Dean there, he is a needle that calms the sea; no one dares to be presumptuous."

Chen Ang thought for a while and agreed. Indeed, even if Feng Tian really had a problem, with the Dean's suppression and help within Wuqu Academy, it could be easily investigated.

Early the next morning, after discussing and finishing everything, they prepared to return to Wuqu Academy.

After the few left, the man in the black robe smiled and said: "Your task is very simple: learn some mysterious techniques to hide your aura within a year. There is a Dean with terrifying strength inside Wuqu Academy."

"Under normal circumstances, it is very troublesome for others to play tricks under his nose. We evil cultivators happen to be able to hide our aura. We will insert you into the list of Wuqu Academy."

"It is to let you learn the skills of Wuqu Academy. In the future, after graduation, become a shining genius in the Sin Prison. When the Demon Race needs it, give a destructive blow. With internal and external cooperation, we can completely open a gap and welcome the arrival of the Demon Race."

Feng Tian couldn't help but ask: "There should be quite a few geniuses like me, right? It seems your ambition is quite large. To be able to win over so many geniuses among the major families, you have some skills."

"No way, we are a group of mice living in the dark. Everything exists to find ways to make our own strength greater. This time is a very good opportunity."

"The Demon Race provides us with enough energy. Can you believe it? Before serving the Demon Race, my strength was just a small ant of the Sixth Tier. It was as easy as pie for others to kill me."

"After the help of the Demon Race and my own continuous cultivation, I have today's realm. I am very grateful for the existence of the Demon Race. It was they who gave me the opportunity for a new life."

"As for the life and death of the entire Perished World, what does it have to do with me? Survival of the fittest. At that time, they didn't choose to help me, so why should I choose to help them now?"

365: Qilin Tattoo

"In your eyes, for those of us who have no status or background and want to keep getting stronger, besides choosing to cooperate with the Demon Race and wallow in the mire, do we have any other way?"

"I've said a bit too much to you today. I hope you can work hard and strive to reach the peak of the Ninth Tier within a year. Through continuous training, you can reach a higher realm."

Feng Tian didn't say much about this. Now they were grasshoppers on the same boat. It was just simple cooperation to achieve their goals; there was no need to develop into friends.

Chen Ang returned to Wuqu Academy and told the Dean everything. The Dean was also very worried about this. But helplessly, he chose to take a step back for the time being to see.

"The Feng family has indeed made significant contributions to the entire Perished World. Without solid evidence, it is really not easy to take action against them. It seems that some things must be handled as soon as possible, otherwise, it is easy for accidents to occur."

Chen Ang returned to his room, thinking left and right, always feeling that an accident would happen, but he couldn't say exactly what the situation was. Feng Tian was definitely hiding something.

He wasn't in a hurry. When he came to Wuqu Academy, with the Dean's help, there shouldn't be too big a problem. He began his daily cultivation, finding Master Wu Tian. What he had to do was to break through to the Spirit God Realm as soon as possible.

The Dean said that if he wanted to exert his strength to the extreme, he must go to the Sin Prison. The danger coefficient was very high, but the benefits were equally huge. With the help of the Sin Prison, he could save a lot of trouble in the future.

Wu Tian looked at Chen Ang cultivating so hard and couldn't help but laugh: "You brat, your strength is indeed much stronger. It has to be like this. Take it slow, and you will have unexpected gains."

"Now you are in the stage of consolidating your foundation. You must not go astray. This is a good thing I carefully prepared for you. Drink it."

Looking at the blue liquid in Master Wu Tian's hand, he couldn't help but say: "Master, you aren't harming me, are you? Are you sure this thing isn't poisonous?"

"As a master, could I pit my own disciple? After you take it, your body will have a very good reaction. It is a fortuitous encounter I carefully found for you."

Chen Ang scoffed at this. Others didn't know what the situation was, but he knew that his master definitely didn't have good intentions. After taking it, his body began to undergo some special changes, and cracks began to appear all over his body.

Master Wu Tian said in confusion: "That's not right. The essence blood is not enough. How about this, there is a medicine barrel over there, filled with various herbal juices. You go soak there for a while first; it can play a soothing role."

Hearing this, Chen Ang was half-believing. He believed Master Wu Tian's words, but he didn't expect Wu Tian to push him into a pit of fire. The pain on his body became even more unacceptable, and he was directly pained into a faint.

Wu Tian revealed a mysterious smile and said: "Oh my, you brat, I forgot to tell you. This is a good thing, but your ability to endure is so poor. It is the essence blood of a Water Qilin."

"As for the herbs in the barrel, they are worth a fortune and took a lot of effort to get. Just consider it your master's love for you. You actually have such a poor body that you can't even endure it. But it's fine, even if you faint, the medicinal properties will continue to be absorbed in your body."
