Library of Heaven’s Path - Chapter 2184

Clans that had existed for thousands of years were known to have many branches and branches. Their descendants could be killed, trapped, or stumbled upon fortuitous encounters when they ventured out to train, never to return. But in truth, there were still descendants of the Sky of Cloud Dragon who were still alive in the world.

It was similar to how the Sky of Cloud Dragon had announced to the entire Firmament that anyone who discovered the Dragon Bloodline would be prohibited from taming or trading it. The purpose of this was to bring the scattered branches back to the Firmament.

Given Zhang Xuan’s current situation, he could easily impersonate a branch of the Sky of Cloud Dragon and head to the Firmament to participate in the examination.

As long as there was nothing wrong with the bloodline, there would be no danger.

As for who it was …

Most of the branches had lost their heritage for thousands of years, so where was he supposed to find them?

There was no way he could find them at all!

“I guess I’ll do that then.”

After confirming that there was no problem, Zhang Xuan began making his way toward the closest branch of the Three Premier Clans.

This was the territory of the Infernal Feather Conferred God King. The buildings along the streets were all crimson in color, and the scorching sun shrouded half of the city.

If not for the fact that the people living here were all Gods, they would not have been able to last even a minute longer.

Zhang Xuan’s physical body had been tempered by the Lucid Lunar Lake, making it comparable to high-tier Celestial God artifacts. This bit of heat was nothing to him.

Along the way, Zhang Xuan asked around for the location of the Infernal Phoenix Clan’s residence.

It was a massive residence, and just like the Qi Clan’s residence, it was surrounded by a massive formation that prevented anyone from entering.

Zhang Xuan did not rush over. Instead, he found a large tavern on the other side of the street.

The guard did not know much about the Three Great Clans. There were all sorts of people here, so perhaps he might be able to find out some useful information. At the very least, he would not be completely clueless.

Zhang Xuan found a table by the window and ordered some wine and meat. Barely after he took a few bites, the doors to the tavern suddenly creaked open, and a figure staggered and fell to the ground.

“Scram!”

Following this, two young men walked out with a prideful aura.

“Feng Chao and Feng Xiang, don’t go too far!”

The young man struggled to his feet with clenched fists.

He looked to be in his twenties, and there was a flame-colored mark between his eyebrows. His face was unhealthily pale, and he should have suffered some serious injuries.

“Going too far?” The young man named Feng Chao sneered, “Feng Jiu Ge, do you think this is still the same as it was two years ago? Right now, you are no longer a genius. Your bloodline has been completely burned away, and you have been completely expelled from the core! Scram, lest we make a move. Otherwise, don’t blame us for being impolite … ”

“Two years ago, your talent and strength allowed you to strut around before us. But now … you are nothing! He was just a useless piece of trash! If you don’t hurry up and leave, no one will dare to say anything even if I throw you into a beast cage! ”

Feng Xiang snorted.

Creak! Creak!

The young man named Feng Jiuge clenched his fists tightly. It seemed like he wanted to say something, but in the end, he did not say anything. Instead, he turned around and left with a sad look on his face.

“What a pity!”

A few years ago, Feng Jiuge was the most dazzling genius of the Inferno Phoenix Clan. However, due to an accident, his bloodline was destroyed, and his cultivation stagnated. In fact, it even regressed significantly. Eventually, he was expelled from the core of the Inferno Phoenix Clan, and now, he’s the target of everyone’s bullying!

“That’s how it is for the offspring of the Inferno Phoenix Clan. Those who have the strength and bloodline are the core disciples that everyone respects. Without those two, their standing will plummet to rock bottom!”

“With the collapse of the spiritual energy in the surroundings, even the Inferno Phoenix Clan has limited resources. Those who aren’t core disciples have no resources to support them, so their accomplishments are limited. There’s nothing they can do about it …”

…

There were quite a few people in the tavern who saw this sight, and they began discussing with hushed voices.

After listening for a moment, Zhang Xuan came to a realization.

Two years ago, Feng Jiuge had been one of the most dazzling geniuses of the Inferno Phoenix Clan. Despite his young age, he had already reached middle-tier Celestial God, and his comprehension of battle techniques was unparalleled among the younger generation.

However, it was a pity that luck didn’t always come to him. One time, the star of the Inferno Phoenix Clan went out to train, and not only did he sustain severe injuries, his bloodline seemed to have been stripped away as well, vanishing without a trace.

After he recovered from his injuries, the resources that he was provided with plummeted, and his standing in the Inferno Phoenix Clan came into question. A few days ago, he had his bloodline tested once more, and the purity of his bloodline had dropped to a level that even ordinary disciples could not match up to. As a result, he was stripped of his identity as a core disciple and chased out of the clan.

Unwilling to accept the humiliation, he tried his best to regain his former standing, but he ended up being injured by Feng Chao and Feng Xiang, resulting in the current situation.

“Back then, he was the star of the Inferno Phoenix Clan, and everyone looked up to him. Even the experts on the Board of Potential God Kings would have to address him as their brother. Feng Chao and Feng Xiang were the ones who put their lives on the line the most. Now that they have lost their status, it’s only natural for them to retaliate the most!”

“That’s just how humans are. Back then, they were like dogs, but the more humble they were back then, the more vicious and arrogant they are now!”

The crowd shook their heads.

In the Firmament, one’s cultivation was the strongest. Without strength, one was nothing.

There was no one else to blame for this.

Amidst the discussions, the injured Feng Jiuge walked into the tavern and sat down not too far away, gulping down mouthfuls of wine.

Zhang Xuan turned his gaze over.

The cultivation of the genius of the Inferno Phoenix Clan was indeed not too high. He was only a low-tier Celestial God, and his zhenqi was weak as well. From the looks of it, not only was he unable to make a breakthrough, his cultivation might even fall once more.

“His cultivation has fallen? What did he go through? ”

Zhang Xuan was perplexed.

Under normal circumstances, unless one’s meridians were completely destroyed due to severe injuries, it would be very difficult for one’s cultivation to fall once one reached a certain level.

Just as everyone had said, the other party’s physical condition was similar to his. At his peak, the other party was a high-tier Celestial God, just like him. However, at the moment, the other party’s cultivation might even fall from the Celestial God realm.

Just what in the world happened to him for him to suffer such a backlash?

“Let me take a look …”

Activating his Eye of Insight, Zhang Xuan took a closer look at the young man before him, and a deep frown appeared on his forehead.

“Killing intent?”

The young man before him actually harnessed an intense killing intent. Even though he had concealed it well, it was still unable to escape the detection of his Eye of Insight.

“As long as one has been through battle, there are many people who possess such killing intent. This is especially so for soldiers and generals who have entered the battlefield. It’s the same for Zhuo Feng back then, just that … ”

Zhang Xuan was perplexed. “His killing intent is actually somewhat similar to that of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe?”

The fact that the young man named Feng Jiuge harnessed the killing intent of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe piqued his interest.
