Leaking the secret

Meanwhile… The Divine Phoenix Sect was in turmoil right now.

The Emperor of the Divine Phoenix Empire, and the sect master of the Divine Phoenix Sect, Feng Hengkong was seated with Feng Feiyan, the Grand Elder of the Divine Phoenix Sect and some other elders.

"Someone has stolen half of the spirit medicines and a lot of our reserved Purple Veined Divine Crystal. Moreover, this all has happened so secretly, with us not even getting a slight suspicion." Feng Hengkong said while speaking to the elders.

A sneer appeared on his face as he added, "Whoever has contributed in this matter should step forward now and reveal yourself… Otherwise…Do not blame me for being merciless!"

He released a strong aura which had overpowered nearly all of the elders there.

At that moment, Feng Feiyan spoke with a calm tone, "You should all realise that this matter would be a massive setback for the Divine Phoenix Sect. Are you sure you want to betray the Divine Phoenix Sect? If the Divine Phoenix Sect falls, so will all of you…"

"But Sect Master, Grand Elder, I really had no hand in this matter. Not even my descendants did…Otherwise, I would have definitely beat it out of them." An old elder started speaking… And many other elders stepped forward and said similar things.

For some time, Feng Hengkong continued to listen to them when he clenched his fists and remembered something, "I remember now… There are rumours of a thief in the Divine Phoenix City… His ability to conceal himself is impressive, and he is swift. Maybe this matter is related to him."

A decisive look appeared on his face as he said, "Send out all the experts! Find him at all costs!"

Many elders were dispatched once they were given this order.

Only a few elders remained…

Feng Feiyan stared at Feng Hengkong, "Brother, the Blue Wind Empire's situation has started to become a little complicated. The Emperor now is Cang Lin… Although not a very strong person, he does possess a decisive attitude. Cang Lin has somehow reigned the Xiao Sect from doing what they pleased and has the support of the Heavenly Sword Villa… He does not appear to have any thought of going against us. What should we do now? If this goes on… We wouldn't be able to wage war upon them."

A ruthless glint could be seen within Feng Hengkong's eyes as he said, "Send one of the Divine Phoenix Sect members to the Blue Wind Empire… and once he reaches there… Kill him. We will place the blame on the Blue Wind Imperial Palace. It should be enough of a reason to wage war on that Empire."

Feng Feiyan understood what Feng Hengkong meant. The person going to the Blue Wind Imperial City couldn't be too weak or too strong… This matter was to be treated very carefully.

Feng Feiyan and the rest of the elders soon took their leave as well.

Many experts of the Divine Phoenix Sect tried to find Hua MInghai and his wife, but they could only return unsuccessful after searching for a day.

Some of them stumbled upon Yang Tian's house, which was on the outskirts of the Divine Phoenix City.

Before these people at the chance of even seeing Cang Yue or Chu Yuechan, sadly enough, they encountered Yun Canghai, who did not hesitate in killing these experts immediately! This was the instruction given to him by Yang Tian.

This all had occurred a few days before Yang Tian had returned back from the Moon Slaughter Devil Nest.

It had been a few days since Yang Tian had returned. And Yang Tian went off to meet Feng Xue'er who was in the Phoenix Perching Valley.

As he reached the location, he found her unconscious.

Yang Tian noticed that her cultivation had already broken through to the 8th Level of the Tyrant Profound Realm… Another two months and it would be Half-Step Sovereign Profound Realm.

This was good… Yang Tian had been waiting for the time when Feng Xue'er would go to sleep.

This meant that he could proceed to the final phase of his plan. The destruction of the Divine Phoenix Sect!

In reality, Yang Tian didn't need to do anything much.

He just had to spread a rumour in the civilians of the Divine Phoenix Empire that the Phoenix was dead now.

Not many people believed it at first, but this rumour was still a topic for discussion. There were two groups in the Divine Phoenix Empire… One was saying that the rumours were right, and the Phoenix God was genuinely dead. And the other group was saying that the rumours were wrong as there was no way the Divine Phoenix would fall.

The Divine Phoenix Sect soon heard about these rumours and Feng Hengkong was immediately frightened.

"Fuck! Who released this information?!" There was no other way for this information to be out.

Someone had leaked it… But who could it be?

However, the Divine Phoenix Sect didn't make any move against these rumours. Taking action would mean that they are verifying that the Divine Phoenix was truly dead.

At most, the rumours would continue for 2-3 months… After that, it would surely disappear from everyone's mind.

They weren't wrong in that. Most rumours would indeed get dispelled that quickly…

It had been a week since the rumours had started. Right now, they were at the height of popularity in the Divine Phoenix Empire. Feng Hengkong, Feng Feiyan, and other elders expected it to start falling from fame from this week.

But there was an unforeseen event which stunned them completely! Something which had destroyed all hope within them.
