Primordial Cultivator

The conspiracy of the Misty Forest was coincidentally spotted by Yang Wei during his inner disciple examination but as the mysteries continued to unveil themselves, Yang Wei found himself going deeper into the troubles.

With Tang Xin\'s appearance now known by everyone and the fact that he had been alive this entire time. It could only mean that Tang Xin had finally got the perfect opportunity.

\'The envoy from the Central Zone.\' Yang Wei thought.

The timing between the arrival of the envoy and Tang Xin was too much of a coincidence.

"Looks like you two came to the same conclusion as I am." Elder Jing suddenly said when she noticed the complexion between Elder Shan and Yang Wei.

Elder Shan smiled bitterly. "If Tang Xin managed to do something against the envoy then I feared our Phoenix Kingdom would be eradicated."

Yang Wei nodded his head in agreement.

"If Tang Xin\'s goal is to create a war between the Central Zone\'s envoy and us then we\'ll have to stop him at all cost." He added.

Elder Jing stayed silent for a moment before taking out a map of the Phoenix Kingdom.

The Phoenix Kingdom was bordered by many small villages, forests, and sects.

However, there was one particular area that had a circle marked around it.

Elder Jing pointed there and said, "This circle area is the only path toward the Central Zone. It\'s heavily guarded by experts from the Nascent Soul realm and even Houtian realm."

"What\'s the point of telling something we already know?" Elder Shan raised an eyebrow at her. "The path to the Central Zone had been blocked for a long time and was only opened when the Envoy decided to come to us."

Elder Jing looked at Elder Shan and sneered. She then asked, "When was the last time an Envoy decided to come toward the Phoenix Kingdom?"

Elder Shan pondered for a brief moment and before she knew it, Elder Shan became shocked by the connection.

Meanwhile, Yang Wei was the only one confused in the room since he doesn\'t have any prior knowledge regarding their conversation topic.

"It would be helpful if someone could explain things to me instead of showing a shocked expression and gasping for air." Yang Wei said as he glanced at the two of them.

Elder Jing giggled as she forgot about Yang Wei. "Yang Wei, the border between the Central Zone and the Phoenix Kingdom could only be opened by the people from the Central Zone."

And she continued, "The last time an Envoy decided to come to the Phoenix Kingdom was 15 years ago and Tang Xin\'s disappearance was 14 years ago."

Elder Jing was waiting for a shocked expression from Yang Wei but unexpectedly, Yang Wei was calm and tranquil.

"Huh?" Elder Jing became dumbfounded by his reaction. "Do you not see the connection here? Tang Xin had been hiding for the chance of entering the Central Zone when the border opened up by the Envoy."

"I know what it means, Jing Feng." Yang Wei replied with a chuckle.

Sometime later, Elder Jing\'s communication device started beeping as she took it out.

"Little Jing, did you hear about the news?" Kong Yusheng\'s voice resounded from the communication device.

However, from his tone of voice, Kong Yusheng was in a panic. Elder Jing became alarmed by the frantic Kong Yusheng as she asked him what happened.

"What news do you mean, Kong Yusheng?" Elder Jing asked.

"The Phoenix Sky Sect had failed miserably in their expedition against the people in the Misty Forest." Kong Yusheng said. "There were multiple deaths and the bandits in the Misty Forest were much stronger than we initially thought."

"As of this moment, the Phoenix Sky Sect had been gathering multiple sects for another round of the fight against the bandits in the Misty Forest. We are also summoned and required to hand out 100 disciples."

Elder Jing\'s expression darkened as she knew what the Phoenix Sky Sect wanted to do.

They had lost a lot of their manpower and subsequently, their sect was now weakened.

To prevent others from harboring evil intent toward them as they tried to recuperate their strength, the Phoenix Sky Sect resorted to ordering a mandatory summon of force from every sect.

Hence, the 100 disciples they were required to send out would most likely become cannon fodder for others and it was a disgusting yet effective move to balance the power between sects.

"The Phoenix Sky Sect is indeed shameless." Elder Shan intervened as she shook her head.

Although she said it nonchalantly, it was clear that Elder Shan was equally disgusted by their conduct and was glad that she was not part of their filthy sect.

"They may be shameless but what could they do? The Envoy is arriving soon for the upcoming sect tournament and it was the truth that they had failed the expedition." Kong Yusheng said.

Elder Jing nodded her head. "Not to mention, Tang Xin is the one most likely behind the bandits\' force and if we don\'t do something to stop them then I\'m afraid we would lose more than just 100 disciples."

"Are we going to eliminate the traitors in our sect now, including the grand elder?" Yang Wei suddenly said.

"Grand Elder? What do you mean by that, Yang Wei?" Kong Yusheng was dumbfounded as he asked.

Yang Wei then proceeded to explain the information he gathered to Kong Yusheng and how a grand elder was secretly funding a secretive place to cultivate talents.

"Sigh, they really haven\'t given up on the secrets hidden in our Feather Wind Sect." Kong Yusheng muttered in an exhausted tone.

"Little Jing and Elder Shan, I shall leave this matter about the mandatory summon to you two. I\'m going to head toward the Grand Elder Hall and might not be present for a long time." Kong Yusheng added as he shut off the communication device.
