"The Clan Chief truly possesses unique insight. This Junior admires you."
Feng Zaixing smiled and flattered the other party, then gestured for A Ruheng and Yuanen Yehui to sit down. He cleared his throat and looked seriously at every member of the Yuanen Family.
"I am here for two matters. First, to resolve the heartache of this Disciple of mine, and second, to invite all of you to join the world."
"Heartache? Young man, do you think you know everything?"
Yuan En Tianshang grew agitated: "Do you know what our Family has been through?"
"I generally know." Feng Zaixing nodded, his expression calm: "I am the current leader of the Angel Family and I know what a Fallen Angel signifies."
"I suspect Yehui's mother likely Cultivated to Titled Douluo, leading to a tragedy. According to our clan rules, any Fallen Angel Spirit Master who Cultivates the Hell's Gate Spirit Ability must be immediately apprehended, have their cultivation crippled, or even be Sealed away."
"She was only spared because she met me. If anyone else had discovered her, they would have crippled her long ago."
Upon hearing this, Yuanen Yehui's delicate body and beautiful Face trembled slightly. Her lovely eyes fixed tightly on Feng Zaixing, her expression tense.
Yuan En Tianshang's Face stiffened, and the agitated words he wanted to say were caught in his throat, making him feel quite uncomfortable for a moment.
From the main seat, Yuanen Zhentian slowly spoke: "Since that is the case, why did you not Seal her Spirit, and instead allowed her to continue Cultivating?"
"Furthermore, it seems she absorbed a hundred-thousand-year right arm Spirit Bone of the dark attribute?"
Yuanen Zhentian's mental force was outstanding, and he was extremely sensitive to the dark attribute. Since Yuanen Yehui also possessed his Bloodline, after focusing his senses for a moment, he immediately realized something was amiss.
"I believe I am worthy of the title of teacher, and naturally, I must provide my Disciple with the best possible nurturing. This is nothing significant."
The handsome young man, wearing his civil and military robes today, smiled proudly. Previously, after eliminating twelve Hidden Sects, his Spirit Bone harvest was enormous.
It was well known that Major General Feng was always generous. Anyone who respected him as a President received a ten-thousand-year Spirit Bone, and he had specially selected a hundred-thousand-year Dark Demon Tiger right arm Spirit Bone for his Personal Disciple.
As the warm words fell upon her ears, Yuanen Yehui's tightly strung heart relaxed. It seemed the sorrow in her heart was not so overwhelming anymore.
It doesn't matter if you don't acknowledge me. There is always someone in this world who acknowledges me and protects me.
While Yuanen Yehui's mood relaxed, the mood of Yuanen Zhentian and his descendants was far from pleasant. Their eyes twitched, and the way they looked at Feng Zaixing was filled with complex emotions.
You're proud of putting a Fallen Angel on the fast track to development?
And what kind of fortune allows someone to casually produce a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Bone? Our Titan Family doesn't steal or rob, and even our Clan Chief doesn't wear four-word battle armor—
Yuanen Zhentian suppressed his emotions, looking speechlessly at the young man: "So what exactly do you want to do?"
"Do you really want to meet that group of demons?"
"A Senior is indeed a Senior. I want to very much."
Feng Zaixing nodded candidly, a hint of fanaticism even appearing in his eyes: "The Fallen Angels are a coordinate seed placed on the Douluo Star by the Demon Plane. They have the potential to become top-tier Evil Soul Masters. From this, we can deduce that the creatures of the Demon Plane all have the potential to become Evil Soul Masters."
"They invade other planes, and their actions are as evil as can be. I really want to bring them here and kill them until I'm satisfied, to avenge all of you."
As soon as these words were spoken, the hall fell silent. The experts of the Yuanen Family scrutinized Feng Zaixing with expressions as if they had seen a ghost, wondering what kind of Angel successor he was.
He was simply righteous to the point of being wicked.
Yuanen Zhentian recalled the first time he saw this young man, who was frantically chasing down Evil Soul Masters. He took a breath:
"The Tang Sect said you are bloodthirsty by nature. It seems they weren't wrong."
"Bloodthirsty by nature doesn't sound good. I prefer decisive in killing."
Feng Zaixing shook his head. A fiery starlight swept across his Face, transforming into an iron-firm killing intent. Listening to his words, it was as if one could see a brutal battlefield where blood flowed like the sea and corpses piled up like mountains.
"I intend to permanently solve the trouble caused by the Fallen Angels. As long as Feng is here for a day, I will absolutely not allow these demons and monsters to infringe upon my domain even slightly."
"How can we passively endure beatings in this world? I will use their fresh blood to irrigate an even more beautiful Douluo Star; Where the invader can go, I can also go!"
As these words fell, the eyes of the many experts of the Titan Family revealed hatred and excitement. Who among them did not want revenge?
"I do not doubt your talent or your style."
Yuanen Zhentian clearly remembered that four years ago, when the young man abducted his granddaughter right in front of him, he was only a Spirit Elder. In the blink of an eye, he had become a Spirit Emperor. This speed was much faster than that of his eldest son, Yuan En Tiandang, whom he was so proud of.
For the past four years, he had been paying attention to news about Feng Zaixing, or passively learning about him, because this person would occasionally cause a huge stir that spread throughout the Federation; it was impossible not to know.
"Let's discuss the second matter: Our Titan Family has been a Hidden Family for many years. We are accustomed to being mountain folk and are not used to complex rules."
Yuanen Zhentian stared fixedly: "I might as well tell you that the Tang Sect has also persuaded us to join the world. Their conditions for Cultivation resources are very generous, and they even promised this old man the position of Tang Sect Vice Sect Leader."
"They also said that the Federation intends to suppress all Hidden Families, and no one can remain unscathed. What do you say?"
"If they were truly innocent Hidden Families, how foolish would the Federation have to be to recklessly start killing and sever its own arm?"
Feng Zaixing sneered: "I admit I strike hard, but the individuals I eliminated all deserved to die. Colluding with Evil Soul Masters was merely a common problem; their continued existence would only damage the reputation of the Hidden Sects."
His gaze swept around, and he chuckled softly: "Of course, acting this way easily causes misunderstandings, which is why I came here, to draw a line for everyone in the world."
"The Titan Family stands upright. This is what a true Hidden Family looks like. I can represent the Federation in giving the Titan Family the honor of 'Hidden Model.' If you truly do not wish to join the world, please continue to maintain this status."
"But if you are interested, I, Feng, can also show sincerity. The position of Director of the Federal Investigation Bureau can be handed over to the Clan Chief. I am very familiar with the Divine Craftsman and can ask him to forge four-word battle armor for the Clan Chief."
As he spoke, he took out a Divine Craftsman token, inscribed with the two characters "Zhen Hua." Everyone's eyes twitched.
In this era, complete seclusion as a Hidden Family is impossible. Who has not heard the name Zhen Hua?
Yuanen Zhentian frowned, saying meaningfully: "The Federation's bottom line is that we must not help either side, correct?"
Feng Zaixing nodded gently, meeting the other party's deep gaze: "Even if the Titan Family does not join the world, there are many areas where we can cooperate. But if you choose the Tang Sect, the subsequent events might be beyond my control."
"One statement from the Tang Sect isn't entirely wrong: the Federation truly intends to suppress them and Shrek. After all, no one can tolerate a state within a state and an arms dealer who supplies weapons to hostile continents."
"Without them, the Federation's power would not be dispersed. The Holy Spirit Cult would have been destroyed long ago, and the Douluo Star would have been unified. We could gather the strength of the entire planet to explore space and open up greater living space.
"The Clan Chief can relay these words to the Tang Sect."
His words were calm and powerful, yet contained hidden barbs, causing Yuanen Zhentian and the experts of the Titan Family to fall into contemplation.
A moment later, Yuanen Zhentian inhaled deeply and slowly exhaled: "You are more candid than the Tang Sect, and your conditions are more tempting."
"However, the Titan Family was rescued by Shrek Academy during a time of crisis. We cannot be ungrateful, so please allow us to remain a Hidden Family."
Feng Zaixing smiled, as if he had expected this, and cupped his hands: "Senior is clear about grievances and gratitude. This Junior admires you.
However, this Junior has one more request, and hopes you will grant it."
His gaze fell upon Yuanen Yehui.
Yuanen Zhentian looked at his stubborn granddaughter and nodded gently.
"Alright. Since you, a Major General, have personally come to my door, I cannot refuse to give Face. I will allow the father and daughter to meet."
Having said that, he stood up and instructed: "Tianshang, take them over. I am going to meet the people from the Tang Sect."
Yuan En Tianshang reluctantly agreed.
At the Tang Sect's residence, Yuanen Zhentian arrived, offered an apology, and politely declined the Tang Sect's invitation, stating that he wished to remain a Hidden Family.
Smiling Tiger's smile vanished for an instant, but quickly reappeared. He suppressed his restless subordinates and requested to stay for a few more days.
"That is naturally up to you. You may stay as long as you wish." Yuanen Zhentian drifted away.
After he left the separate courtyard, Smiling Tiger's smile dissolved. Tang Yan and the others were furious, their spirit power surging as if they couldn't wait to fight someone.
"Your Excellency, this man is truly ungrateful! Shrek bestowed a great favor upon them!"
Tang Yan's eyes were bloodshot. Some of the hatred originally directed at Feng Zaixing even shifted onto Yuanen Zhentian.
"Yes, Your Excellency, he must have believed the little thief's nonsense and rejected our good intentions!"
"Maybe he has already conspired with the little thief and intends to become a dog for the Federation!"
A cacophony of voices sounded in Smiling Tiger's ears. The Face of this smiling Douluo also sank, and he yelled: "Shut up! Don't forget where this is."
Everyone was startled. Yuanen Zhentian's demigod Peak might surfaced in their minds, causing them to feel somewhat apprehensive.
Smiling Tiger frowned tightly and said with his eyes closed: "First, inquire about the movements of the Federation's visitors. Regardless, we must clarify the situation here and report to the Palace Master."
"Yes." The three great experts responded in unison.
Tang Yan's eyes darted around, and he whispered: "Your Excellency, I see that the old man cannot be persuaded. Right now, there is only one way to make him wholeheartedly join us."
Smiling Tiger turned his head: "What method? Speak quickly."
"Kill Feng Zaixing and A Ruheng! Or at least kill Feng Zaixing!"
Tang Yan made a throat-slitting gesture and said fiercely: "The little thief Feng and the others just arrived, and Yuanen Zhentian immediately rejected us. If that boy keeps feeding him nonsense for a few more days, the old man might bind all of us and hand us over to the Federation as a sign of allegiance."
"Only by killing the little thief Feng can we deter him and cut off his retreat. Then, if we create some misunderstandings, the old man will have no other choice."
As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of the two Titled Douluo lit up.
"Your Excellency, what a brilliant scheme." "Your Excellency, this plan is feasible."
"This—"
Smiling Tiger hesitated. He still had some affection for the Body Sect, and Feng Zaixing and the other person represented the hope for the Body Sect's revival.
Tang Yan urged anxiously: "Don't hesitate, Your Excellency! This is a matter of life and death. Once the Hidden Families are finished or surrender to the Federation, the Clear Sky Sect and the Tang Sect will be finished!"
"Yes, Your Excellency—"
"Don't hesitate—" The two Titled Douluo urged him together.
Smiling Tiger remained silent for a long time, his expression constantly shifting, until finally, a look of ruthlessness appeared.
"Very well. I am a member of the Tang Sect after all—However, we must act meticulously. First, find out their location and inform the Palace Master."
"Do not kill A Ruheng. Leave him to create a misunderstanding. The target is Feng Zaixing. We move tonight, and success is mandatory!"
"Yes!"
