"Guards take the lion back to the clan and heal him," Xavier ordered. Since he belonged to one of the tribes serving his clan, he decided to save him.
"Yes, prince." Two of them went forward and checked his injuries at first. When they finished, their expression became ugly.
"Prince, it will be too late if we do that. His heart has stopped functioning."
"I believe only a fairy pill can do something."
"Is that so?" Xavier took out an orange pill from his spirit ring and threw it in their direction without any hesitation.
Seeing how generous he was, Davion's eyes sparkled. "A wealthy bastard."
"You...don't tell me…" Siena panicked when she guessed his thoughts. Was he trying to plunder them?
"What do you think?" He put his hands back acting mysterious once again.
"You stop. Don't create more trouble. I might be able to help you." Siena grabbed his right arm.
"How?" He was surprised.
"Just wait and see. But you will owe me a big favor." Without giving him a chance to reply, she walked ahead and said, "Prince of the White Tiger Clan, I can't let you have him."
"Eh! Who might you be?" Xavier coldly asked. He didn't put her in his eyes. After all, he was the overlord of this region. Even Venerable Experts had to give him face.
"I'm Siena, the third princess of the Phoenix Clan." She released her powerful white flames and an apparition of a beautiful white phoenix a thousand feet long was formed behind her.
The moment it appeared, the guards immediately felt their blood boiling and fell on their knees. Although they were from the White Tiger Clan like their prince, there was still a considerable gap in their bloodline.
This was because he was the direct descendent of a Saint Realm expert and had inherited a deeply concentrated bloodline filled with tremendous power. This type of bloodline was known as Royal Bloodline.
Looking at the phoenix behind her, Siena also seemed to possess one. As for them, they had diluted bloodlines that had been weakening every generation.
"Wow, who could have thought that she belonged to one of the four major clans?" Davion was shell-shocked. Furthermore, the bloodline pressure brought by her was completely at the next level when compared to the time in the library.
"If she had revealed this power against Hector, then I am sure that the battle would have been won by her in a jiffy." He thought and then released a portion of his majestic aura to resist her.
Xavier also had a similar expression to Davion. He couldn't believe what he was witnessing.
"From what I've learned, no members from the Phoenix Island have set their foot on this land since thousands of years ago. So, why now? Especially it is a princess too."
Next, he emitted his bloodline power as well, forming the shape of a gigantic white tiger that didn't lose out to the phoenix in any way.
"Phew" The guards sighed in relief with its emergence as the uncomfortable feeling disappeared straight away.
"He is indeed the pride of our clan."
"Although we have a higher cultivation base, we are not his match."
"Yes. He seems to be even stronger than the phoenix princess."
The guards gossiped with worship written on their faces when they noticed the projection of the white tiger increasing in size steadily. In a few seconds, it became twice bigger than the phoenix.
"Princess, it seems like your cultivation is a bit lacking." Xavier withdrew his aura and smiled. He acted quite friendly, unlike his previous self. He knew that it was unwise to offend her.
Siena too contained her aura and politely replied, "Of course. The younger one needs time to catch up. Perhaps, my elder sisters can entertain you the next time we meet."
"Haha, it will be my pleasure." Xavier forced out a laugh. But inside he was cursing at her.
"Damn, she is very cunning. Not only did she lower her stance by admitting being weaker and younger but she even revealed that her elder sisters were more powerful than her."
In this way, she didn't lose her face as well as the reputation of her clan. In addition, she also created a good impression among the witnesses here. After all, what she said seemed to make sense.
In general, the first prince should actually be fighting the first princess. This was what she was referring to indirectly.
"Our prince is a fine example of a gentleman."
"Of course, he is. How can the first prince bully the third princess?"
"Yes. Only the first and the second princess might be worth his time."
"So, do you think he can defeat them?"
"Who knows? But I believe that our prince can certainly win."
The guards discussed in an excited tone. This was due to the fact that nobody had seen the future heir to the thrones among the big clans facing off against each other.
Xavier's mouth twitched when he heard them talking. Since they were praising him like this, he definitely couldn't go harsh on her. He had to think of other ways to deal with her.
Thus, he inquired curiously, "So, princess, why do you want to protect him? You should know that he is a criminal. Not only did his ancestors betray us, he even destroyed this city showcasing that he is a vile person."
From the people escaping this city, he had heard about the wicked deeds done by this man.
"Son of a bitch. Hope you have a gruesome death." Davion jinxed him within his heart. How dare he sully his name?
"Humm, like you, our Phoenix Clan has also ordered me to capture him. I need to bring him back at once." Siena lied without shuttering a single word.
"Are you sure?" Xavier felt that the things were getting out of his hands. In addition, he was getting more interested in him. How can he catch the attention of his father; a saint and someone from the Phoenix Clan as well?
"Why should I lie to you? I heard that his ancestor stole a rare treasure from our clan." She slapped his back expressing her anger.
"Damn, you." Davion was getting irritated. Why were they putting the blame of someone else's ancestor on him?
"Then what do you suggest, princess?" Xavier asked.
"I will take him with me for a couple of days and return him to you after our work is finished." Siena thought for a while before replying.
"Eh! Isn't your clan far away from here? I guess it will take a long time. So, why don't you lend him to us first? After all, my clan is right near here and we can show you the hospitality of our White Tiger Clan during this time." Xavier suggested.
Remembering the dangerous look given by his father when he was assigned this mission made him scared to return back empty-handed.
"Prince, are you doubting us?" Siena was displeased.
"How can that be?" Xavier shook his head denying that thought.
"Ok! Then we will be leaving." Siena bowed, pulled Davion's arm, and slowly walked away.
"Wait! Wait.." How could he let them go this easily?
"Prince, you are bothering us. What else do you have to say?" Annoyance could be felt from her voice. She acted tough trying to pressurize Xavier into giving up.
Xavier became angry with the change in her tone. Nevertheless, he controlled himself and said firmly while gazing straight at Davion's eyes, "I have always been the admirer of your ancestor; the King of Flames."
"Despite the fact that he betrayed us in the end, this doesn't take away his achievements and his glorious past. Especially the destructive flames that he cultivated in his life."
"Where are you getting at?" Davion didn't understand why he was spouting so much bullshit. He even started bootlicking him.
"I want to witness those flames. I want to see how they could rival the flames of the Phoenix Clan and the Dragon Clan." Xavier got to the point.
"That's it?" Davion raised his hand and was about to show it to him, but he interrupted him.
"I challenge you to a duel. In this way, I can feel it and can have a better understanding."
"How can he fight you? You have a higher cultivation base with a royal bloodline on top of that. He is not your match." Siena declined this request. Did she think of her as a fool?
"No! You are mistaken, princess. How can I be that shameless? I wanted him to fight with one of my guards. I am sure you will not deny this simple request, won't you?" Xavier gave her a warm smile making it difficult for her to reject.
Siena turned towards Davion indicating what to do. Davion nodded and said, "I agree."
"But I have a condition." Siena abruptly spoke.
"What is it?" Xavier became happy. It seemed like he could proceed with the next course of his plan.
"After the battle, your White Tiger Clan should allow us to leave and not bother us anymore." Siena declared.
"I will if he wins. Otherwise, he has to come with us.." Xavier smirked.
