THE LIGHTNING EMPEROR

Ice Phoenix

***

"What did you say! The people from the Ice Flower Lotus Sect came here to protect the Fang Clan?" 

"Be be true Chief!"

Fu Jianzi sat down with a dull face as he was pressed by the power of the black-robed man before him, clearly indignant at Fu Jianzi's failure.

This was not a failure that the umpteenth time the people who were assigned to seize the Spirit Core Divine Beast that was in the Fang Clan, had done various things, even this time the figure charged Fu Jianzi directly, but the result remained the same.

"Is it possible that Bing Chen himself came to protect the Fang Clan?" ask that figure.

"Yes, he alone came with his seven great powers, strangely the old man with the ancient appearance knew of your involvement!" replied Fu Jianzi.

"Bing Chen's! It has been more than four hundred years I have never met her, the last time I came to the Ice Flower Lotus Sect was about 29 years ago, he said, and I managed to kill his son and son-in-law while Bing Chen was doing his retreat in his secret room, unfortunately I did not manage to obtain the Ice Phoenix Divine Core Spirit Beast!" said the figure.

Fu Jianzi was shocked to hear the figure's complaint, he remembered if Bing Chen said if he wanted to collect the old debt with the Blood Valley Demon Sect, it turned out that there was indeed a personal grudge between them.

"Wasn't Bing Chen's age very old, but why was his grandson still the same age as Fu Lie Wei?" asked Fu Jianzi.

"Bing Chen is indeed very old, even the age of his son is older than you, only he only got offspring after turning 439, while his wife is still 37 years old," the figure replied.

Fu Jianzi's mouth was gaping to hear the story of the figure, he did not expect that Bing Chen's son was very old and unique in getting a very young wife.

"How did he get such a young wife?"

"You can't possibly know, actually Bing Chen's son used the power of his Divine Core Spirit Beast to make him look young."

The figure explained if the strength of the Spirit Core Divine Beast belonging to the Ice Phoenix not only made the person who possessed it become very strong if it did the unification, but just by using just a little bit of the power of the Ice Fenix Spirit Core alone, his Ying Energy could make one become ageless despite being hundreds of years old.

It used to be that Bing Chen had also used the energy of that Ice Fenix's Ying Spirit Core so that he could be ageless, but after his son turned 27, he gave the Ice Fenix Spirit Core to his son, who was the only one who had ever seen him, that made Bing Chen's physique begin to change, whereas his son who held the Ice Fenix Spirit Core became ageless.

Unfortunately when the Blood Valley Demon Sect came to attack the Ice Flower Lotus Sect to seize the Lightning Phoenix Spirit Core, The Spirit Core had been hidden so badly that the leader of the attack killed Bing Chen's son and his wife.

Of course the Ice Flower Lotus Sect Elder's seat became empty, and the subsequent development unknown to the Blood Valley Demon Sect was about Bing Chen's anger and his grudge towards the Blood Valley Demon Sect, and Bing Chen again occupied the Elder seat until finally replaced by Bing Zao Ling, the husband of Bing Chen's grandson.

"Spirit Core Ice Phoenix! If that was indeed the case would it be possible for that Spirit Core to be in that Sect?" asked Fu Jianzi.

"There must be, most likely the one holding the Spirit Core that was between Bing Chen or his granddaughter, could be between her grandson and her husband as well as Bing Chen's great-grandchild, it's just that we can no longer go there because Bing Chen must have been waiting for our members!" answer that figure.

"Did it be before the last attack the Chairman ever faced off against Bing Chen?"

The figure continued his story back to Fu Jianzi that after successfully destroying several large Sects in the Bright Star Continent, they had only gotten information if the Lightning Phoenix Spirit Core had already been taken away by Fang Lin.

Knowing that, the Blood Valley Demon Sect Elder sent out several people to look for Fang Lin's footsteps, back then the people that were sent out were six people, and there were six of them, Four Yu Jing and two Xu Hun Levels 1 and 3, while the figure before Fu Jianzi back then was at the Xu Hun Level 3 stage.

Given Fang Lin's abilities back then were only at the Yu Jing Level 4 stage, so the Blood Valley Demon Sect Elder had only sent out six powers that he thought were more than enough to kill Fang Lin.

It was just that searching for traces of Fang Lin's existence wasn't as easy as one might imagine, since it had been two years since they had searched for Fang Lin's traces, yet they hadn't managed to find them, either, and by being forced the six assigned people had to search outside the territory of the Bright Star Continent.

In their quest from one land to another, they had precisely obtained information if there was one Great Sect in the border region between the Ice Empire Region and the Green Land Continent region, instead, The sect was the Ice Flower Lotus Sect, there was one of the rare Divine Beasts, the Ice Phoenix.

Knowing that, the six of them went straight to the Ice Flower Lotus Sect to seize the extremely rare Ice Fenix Spirit Core, they were sure that if the people who were very far from the territory of the Bright Star Continent there would be no one who would reach the Xu Hun stage, as for most likely only a Tier 1 Xu Hun alone.

But it turned out that the assumption of the six of them was very wrong, because once they arrived there, it turned out that the Elder of the Ice Flower Lotus Sect, Bing Chen, had the ability of Level 5 Xu Hun.

The fight between the Four Yu Jing and the Two Xu Hun Levels 1 and 3 against a Level 5 Xu Hun and several Yu Jing Ice Flower Lotus Sect made the six of them have to pay a heavy price, the four Yu Jing they brought were all dead, and the fellow who possessed the ability of a Tier 1 Xu Hun had to suffer quite severe injuries.

They had to run for their lives and hide for several hundred years while increasing their cultivation levels by killing and absorbing the blood of people to increase their cultivation levels.

Ever since that incident the Ice Flower Lotus Sect shut itself off from the outside world, Bing Chen closed his Sect out of concern that the news of the existence of the Ice Phoenix was becoming more widespread until Bing Chen finally married one of his new generation disciples and had a son.

Almost Four Hundred years old, the two people who had been hiding finally managed to reach the level of Xu Hun Level 7 while his partner had already reached level 5, the two of them returned to the Ice Flower Lotus Sect and it turned out that Bing Chen was not there.

The two of them directly ransacked the Ice Flower Lotus Sect in order to find the Ice Phoenix Spirit Core, and the attack made Bing Chen's only son and the Sect Elder die along with Bing Chen's son-in-law who had only been in labor for a few days also killed, too, at that time Bing Chen's grandson was only a few days old, it was just that some of the chiefs hid Bing Chen's grandson so that his grandson survived death.

After failing to obtain the Ice Fenix Spirit Core, the two of them finally returned to explore all the way to the Green Land Continent, and that was when they found out that in the Green Mainland Continent there was a small Clan called the Fang Clan.

The two of them were very confident that the Fang Clan must be the descendants of Fang Lin and some of the people of the Fang Clan who escaped from the Bright Star Continent, after the two of them were very sure if the Fang Clan was the one they had been looking for all this time, one of them immediately returned to the Bright Star Continent to report to his Unionist if the people they were looking for had already been found, and the other one was still in the Green Land Continent, it was this figure who was currently in front of Fu Jianzi, and Fu Jianzi called him the Great Chief.

Hearing the story of the Great Chief figure, Fu Jianzi never expected if it turned out that Bing Chen had already reached the Xu Hun stage already since Four Hundred years ago, that meant that Bing Chen was truly the real Expert, and it could be that he would become the true Expert, namely Xu Qin.

A little Fu Jianzi already knew the story of the Great Chief's journey before him, although he still had not reached the peak stage of Xu Hun, but he was also an Xu Hun Elite and deserved to be called the Expert.

"So what should we do now?" asked Fu Jianzi.

"Bing Chen's strength is too great for us to deal with, if Elder were to send just one person who has the ability of Xu Hun Level 9, then I would not hesitate to deal with Bing Chen, then I would not hesitate to deal with Bing Chen, so all we can do right now is wait until the Three-year covenant comes, once the time comes, you don't hold back, because I will raise your cultivation level in the next three years!" answer that figure.

Fu Jianzi heaved a sigh of relief after the Great Chief was about to re-raise his cultivation level, for at least the next three years he could rise to Level 2.
