Feng Yun and Mu Wenqian chatted for a while before parting. They talked about various things. Mu Wenqian was also curious about the adventure of Feng Yun. Feng Yun naturally told her that he went with Fan Xingjuan to the Fan Clan to train.
…
At noon, Mu Qing sent a servant to the Cao clan.
As the Cao Clan got the letter, they held a meeting to discuss it.
“Mu Qing sent a letter just now, she said that Mu Clan wanted to sign a peace treaty with our clan. What do you guys think?” The Patriarch of the Cao Clan showed the letter to the elders and asked.
“Hmph, what’s there to think about? Tear it. When two parties have equal standing, they can sign a truce treaty. But our clan naturally stronger them.” One of the elders arrogantly said.
“Hahah… Looks like Mu Qing losing her patience.” Another elder laughed in disdain.
“Well, it is expected. They are hiding in their cave for a month, their business is being suppressed by other major clans continuously. They don’t have many options.”
“What is going on? Why did you call me suddenly?” At this time, a deep voice sounded as an old man appeared in the room. It was none other than the ancestor of the Cao Clan.
“Greeting Ancestor!” All people greeted the old man respectfully. Patriarch explained to the ancestor.
Ancestor pondered for a moment and said with a mysterious smile, “Tell them we are ready to make peace in exchange for treasures of the Mu Clan.”
“Huh!” Ancestor’s word surprised the elders. One has to know that ancestor has the greatest hatred toward the Mu Clan. His son died at the hands of Mu Tian.
“Ancestor, please forgive me, but I can’t understand why should we make peace with them?.” One of the elders couldn’t help but ask out curiously. They were already made up their mind to annihilate the Mu Clan, so why make peace with them?
“The people of that clan will arrive in three days. With their backup, the Black Tortoise Empire won’t able to save the Mu Clan. The Mu Clan is protected by a strong formation. Rather than wasting our time on breaking their turtle shield, it will be easier for us to finish them outside. They definitely won’t invite us to their clan or come to our clan. Most likely they will choose a natural ground for the meeting. We will ambush them during the meeting.” The old man said with a cruel smile. It seemed he already saw the destruction of the Mu Clan.
The ancestor is really wise, this is indeed a great strategy. The elders laughed arrogantly.
“Two days later, prepare a great banquet for the guest, I will personally welcome them. Everyone must write down in their heart that we can’t afford to offend that clan.” The old man looked at everyone and said in a serious tone. Hearing the old man’s word, elders nodded heavily. After saying that, the old man was banished from the room.
Just as the patriarch was about to leave, a middle-aged elder spoke hastily, “Ancestor, the Phoenix Treasure Pavilion is going to hold an auction two days later. It was said that a top treasure is going to appear in the auction. Although they haven’t disclosed the identity of the treasure, they said it was discovered by a rogue cultivator in the secret realm.”
“Oh!” The elder’s words capture the Patriarch’s interest. He said calmly, “Send your men to the Phoenix Treasure Pavilion to find out this mysterious treasure. If it is genuine, then we must get this treasure.”
“Patriarch, The Phoenix Treasure Pavilion has a reputation to hold, they won’t false rumor to attract the crowd.” One of the elders said.
“Your word indeed true.” The Patriarch nodded. The Phoenix Treasure Pavilion was the biggest merchant clan in the Blazing Sun Dynasty. They won’t try to ruin their long-lasting reputation by spreading false rumors.”
“First elder, you will attend the auction personally. Whether the treasure is worthy or not, you will try your best to get it.” The Patriarch said lightly.
“Don’t worry, patriarch. Currently, our clan is the strongest clan in the Blazing Sun Dynasty, nobody can snatch things from our palm. I will bring back the treasure.” The Elder raised his chest proudly and said.
“Hmm!”
…
Soon the Mu Clan received the answer from the Cao Clan.
‘Four days later!’ Seeing that the Cao Clan agreed to meet, she felt both relief and tension. Mu Qing knew very well that this meeting will not be peaceful. She shared the news with other members of the clan and asked for their opinion.
This also reached the ear of Feng Yun, Feng Yun’s face frowned slightly. He muttered in a cold tone, ‘Looks like there will be a big battle ahead.’
“Yue, can you contact the high priest and invite some expert for help? There is no need for the High Priest to come himself, just send some experts.” Feng Yun asked Tang Yue. Feng Yun was sitting on the sofa while Tang Yue was sitting on his lap, leaning against his chest.
Tang Yue smiled in response and said, “Don’t worry dear. I have already contacted grandpa, help will arrive soon.”
“Good!” Feng Yun nodded gladly.
“Hubby, you should know that if a person meets an opponent stronger than himself, retreating is the safest option. If you can’t fight, you should run.” Tang Yue said softly. Not long ago, She gave a suggestion to Feng Yun that Mu Clan should leave the Blazing Sun Dynasty.
This was a vast world out there, it was necessary to remain the Blazing Sun City. Naturally leaving the Blazing Sun City means abandoning all the legacy of the Mu Clan.
In the past, the Gu Clan also choose this option and survive the catastrophe.
“I know. But the elders of the clan are not ready to abandon their ancestral ground.” Feng Yun sighed. He already thought of it before. Moving the entire clan from the Blazing Sun City to another place was difficult. But Feng Yun has a cheat item, the Black Pagoda could accommodate thousands of people inside. It was very easy for Feng Yun to bring out the entire Mu Clan from the Blazing Sun City under the nose of everyone.
He already decided that if things went south in the meeting, he will not hesitate to escape with his family. It doesn’t matter if his mother agrees or not, he will escape with her and others members who want to live. If the elders of the clan wanted to die with Mu Clan, they can die. Feng Yun won’t bother with them.
“Yue, I will leave the Black Pagoda to you. In case I don’t return… mm” Feng Yun said with a serious expression. Before he could finish his word, Tang Yue blocked his lips with her finger.
“Don’t say that!” Tang Yue’s said in anger.
Feng Yun removed her hand with his hand and said while holding her gently, “My beloved wife, don’t you know me, the Cao Clan is not capable enough of killing me. I have the protection talisman of two Peak Stage Divines Profound Realm experts with me. Even a few Divine Profound Realm experts can’t hold me back if I want to escape much less a small Cao clan.”
Feng Yun’s voice has confidence as he spoke. It was true after all.
Tang Yue looked at his face deeply and nodded, “Okay!”
“If things go south, gather all the remaining members of the clan into the black pagoda and escape from the Blazing Sun City. The Black Pagoda’s hidden ability is too strong, even a divine profound realm cultivator couldn’t detect it. I am sure you will have no problem escaping from the city safely.” Feng Yun explained the plan quickly.
“I will discuss with my mother and others in advance about this so that when the time comes they will be ready to escape. Although I have confidence in my strength, we must prepare for the worst outcome.” Feng Yun continued.
Hope for the best, prepare for the worst. It was Feng Yun’s motto now. He didn’t want to take a risk where hundreds of people’s lives were on the line.
“I understand.” Tang Yue nodded obediently. Then she looked at Feng Yun and said firmly, “Hubby, I forbid you to die.”
Feng Yun chuckled and said, “I won’t!”
“Knock!”
At this time, someone knocked on his door.
“Young master, are you inside? I brought a piece of news for you.” Feng Yun was familiar with his voice, it was Xiurong’s voice.
“Come in, Xiurong!” Feng Yun said. Without changing their posture.
Xiurong comes inside the room.
“What is it?” Feng Yun curiously asked.
“Young Master, the Phoenix Treasure Pavilion is going to hold a big auction in two days. According to the advertisement, a mysterious treasure gonna auction in the next auction.” Xiurong was affected by the intimate posture of the two people, she bowed and said calmly.
