41 Deep sleep

After she killed all the Mercenary Group, Lan Xueruo turned towards Yang Tian. Surprisingly though, there was no hint of hatred within her eyes as she gazed at Yang Tian.

Even Yang Tian was a little surprised as he had thought that Lan Xueruo would hate him a lot for this matter. But he believed that even if she hated him, she wouldn't let go of a genius who could fulfil her father's wish.

"You don't hate me?" Yang Tian asked while staring at Lan Xueruo with a calm and neutral look.

"No… I realise that this was something I should have done earlier. Earlier, I was intent on keeping my hands clean just to have a clear conscience… But I realise now that if the matters are out of hands, I must not hesitate to be decisive, because my hesitation can kill someone close to me…" Perhaps the fact that someone was killed because of her was a much more significant impact on her than he had imagined.

But other than some discontentment, Yang Tian didn't care. Out of the 200 or so Phoenix Clan Members, he didn't care if one or two died. It's not like they were personally related to him.

They helped him out in giving the Phoenix's Trial a try, and he helped them by removing their cursed marks. They were pretty even in that regard.

Moreover, he had even suggested them earlier that they should store food and water in the seal and told them that the Phoenix Spirit wouldn't mind. This was the whole reason why these Phoenix Clan Members could even keep their lives. Needless to say, he had also killed the Black Demon Mercenary Group,

But still, he didn't mention it right now. If he mentioned it right now, these Phoenix Clan Members would start thinking of all possible ways to repay him. Maybe they might even do so soon. But this was not what Yang Tian wanted.

He wanted to make them his underling…

At this moment, he heard Jasmine's voice resound in his head, "I didn't think this girl would say that to you. She is not as bad as I initially believed her to be." It was quite rare for Jasmine to praise someone. And that was especially true when the person in question was Lan Xueruo.

"She will be useful to us…but for that, she needs to open her eyes even more. This is still not enough." Yang Tian said to Jasmine with his Spiritual Pulse.

Jasmine was curious about what Yang Tian planned to do next to develop Lan Xueruo.

"Alright then, it's time for you to go to deep sleep. I will wake you up by sending a Spiritual Pulse to your body if something dangerous or interesting happens." Yang Tian's spiritual pulse resounded within Jasmine's half-spiritual body.

She frowned a little as she heard Yang Tian's words. She asked him while trying to keep her voice neutral, "You don't like my presence, right?"

Yang Tian responded by shaking his head and replying to Jasmine, "It's not that I don't like your presence. It's just that I want you to solve that Absolute God Slaying Poison within your body. You must regain the peak of your original strength as quickly as possible. Because only then would we be able to save Caizhi."

"Caizhi?! Is she in any danger?!" Jasmine was startled upon hearing Yang Tian mention Caizhi. She asked him with an anxious appearance.

"I am not sure. But considering that her elder brother had died, and her elder sister is missing. What do you think is going on inside her head? She is probably devastated… With her history, she hated herself. But now… She hates the entire world, as well. Do you know, this sort of disposition is perfect with the Heavenly Wolf Star God's powers. You can imagine the rest, right?" Yang Tian asked Jasmine with an indifferent look on his face.

"Caizhi…" Jasmine closed her eyes as she remembered about her sweet little sister. She was well aware of the personality of her little sister. What Yang Tian had said could indeed be true… In fact, it was more likely to be real than false.

And if she really had inherited the power of the Heavenly Wolf Star God just like Yang Tian had said, knowing her wicked father… She was sure that he won't hesitate to use Caizhi as a replacement for the dead Xisu and missing jasmine.

"Although, Caizhi has inherited the powers of the Heavenly Wolf Star God and it's somewhat unknown if the Star God Emperor would use her as a Blood Sacrifice or not. But if they find you, Caizhi and your fate will definitely be sealed. That is why you cannot allow the Star God Realm to find you… At least not until I am ready. But you must still reach the peak of your power since many unexpected events may happen in the future. You must be ready at that time…" Yang Tian's voice was solemn and severe by the time he finished speaking.

Jasmine understood his point and said, "Alright… I do agree that you are right about this. Although there is a low chance that someone from the Divine Realm will encounter this low-level planet, such a possibility is also not unlikely."

"I…I will see you later." She said with a soft voice and slowly closed her eyes.

After Jasmine had fallen into the deep sleep, Yang Tian turned back towards the Phoenix Clan and said to Feng Baichuan, "You should increase your cultivation base as best as you can. Once you reach a certain level, I might give another gift to your Phoenix Clan."

"We obey your words, benefactor Yang Tian. From now on, you can command this Phoenix Clan however you see fit…" Feng Baichuan was going to continue speaking, but Yang Tian raised his palm.

He said with a hint of indifference on his face, "I am not planning on becoming your chief. You have done a good job in all these years… Just continue to increase your cultivation base and get stronger. When your strength is sufficient, I will look for you."

"Yes, benefactor…" Feng Baichuan continued to keep his head down. It wasn't just the fact that the Phoenix Clan owed him a great favour. It was more because Yang Tian had passed the trials set down by the Divine Phoenix.

His respect originated from the fact Yang Tian now had the Phoenix Origin Blood within him.

Now that he had dealt with the Phoenix Clan, he was going to walk outside. At that moment, Feng Xian'er emerged from behind her mother's body and hugged his legs, "B-Big Brother… When Xian'er grows up, Xian'er will definitely take care of you."

Yang Tian had a hint of a smile as he heard Feng Xian'er. He bent down and slowly patted her head while speaking with a small smile, "I will wait for Xian'er to grow up then… Take care of me at that time."

The little girl's face bloomed like a flower. She frantically nodded her head and pecked his cheek before running back to her mother's side.

Yang Tian touched the cheek which was pecked by Feng Xian'er and held that part for some time. He naturally didn't like Feng Xian'er like that. She was like a little sister to him.

He soon walked towards Lan Xueruo's position. It was time to leave for the Blue Wind Profound Palace.
