The Hidden Phoenix Clan

Yang Tian continued to stare at Feng Baichuan's face, his expression was extremely neutral. It didn't even appear that he was asking a question, but that he knew it as a fact!

Meanwhile, Lan Xueruo's mind finally registered Yang Tian's words, and she exclaimed loudly, "Phoenix?! As in the Divine Beast worshipped by the Divine Phoenix Empire?"

A bitter smile appeared on Feng Baichuan's face as he heard her question but slowly nodded his head. She was genuinely flabbergasted at this information.

Lan Xueruo never expected there to be another clan with the Phoenix Bloodline! If the Divine Phoenix Empire got to know of this location… It would be a tragedy for this small clan living in this mountain range.

Meanwhile, she turned her eyes to Yang Tian and wondered just how he knew of this fact.

Feng Baichuan also stared at Yang Tian and asked him, "How did you know that we are cursed clan?"

"Why do you think so? It's because I have seen other tribes that have been cursed by the Phoenix Spirit," He shrugged as he finished speaking.

"What?!" Feng Baichuan and a few of the other Phoenix Tribe members behind them shouted in shock.

"There is no way that's possible! As far as I know, only the Divine Phoenix and our clan are the only ones with the Phoenix Bloodline… I have never heard of any other Phoenix Clan in our clan records…"

Even Jasmine was surprised for some time, but then she understood that her brother might have visited the Flame God Realm and found out about the information of cursed clans there.

Meanwhile, as Yang Tian heard Feng Baichuan's words, he stared at him with a look of contempt while speaking coldly, "Hmph… The world you know of is 'too small.' There are a lot of things you don't know… like the method of dealing with the cursed mark."

Immediately as he finished speaking, Feng Baichuan's eye flickered with a strange emotion, an emotion that could be called hope.

Yang Tian felt a little strange as he could feel someone grabbing his legs from behind. This was weird… And he was resisting the temptation of turning around and kicking whoever the fuck was grabbing his legs.

Another second passed, and he felt another pair of hands grabbing his legs.

He then looked at Feng Baichuan's face and noticed that the man had also turned his eyes towards Yang Tian's feet.

Even though Yang Tian had expected something of this sort to happen, it definitely wasn't to this extent.

He heard pleas from behind, "We beg you, the noble saviour, to free us from this curse."

As Yang Tian heard their pleas, he wanted to laugh out loud. This was far too easy…

Feng Baichuan stared at Yang Tian for a short period before speaking, "Please tell us how we can remove this curse… We will be willing to pay you in any way we can."

Even Lan Xueruo turned towards Yang Tian. From her facial expressions, it appeared that she was ready to ask Yang Tian to help these people.

Before she spoke though, Yang Tian raised his arm and said, "You don't need to request me all that much. It's not that I don't want to help you, it's more of the fact that I can't help you. The only one who can help you is someone with the Phoenix Bloodline. Only by burning that mark with the Phoenix flames can the curse be removed…"

Feng Baichuan and the rest of the elders who were grabbing hold of Yang Tian's feet were disappointed upon hearing his words.

The people who were grabbing Yang Tian's feet slowly stood up, distress visible in their eyes.

They turned to look at Feng Baichuan with an expectant look in their eyes.

"Even though this place is the centre of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, the fact that not a single beast lives in this area means that the Phoenix Essence is strongly concentrated around this area." Yang Tian paused a little, enjoying the shocked look on Feng Baichuan's face.

He slowly continued, "It's here, isn't it? The Phoenix Spirit and the trial set up by the Phoenix Spirit?"

"This…" Feng Baichuan had no choice but to remain silent.

"I want to try my luck in this Phoenix Trial. If I do acquire the Phoenix Bloodline, I will break the curse of all the people here." Yang Tian said with a stern and solemn look on his face.

However, Feng Baichuan still couldn't make up his mind. It appeared that he was worried about something.

Yang Tian then added with a light shrug, "I can give you my word that I would break your curse if I do acquire the means. It's your choice whether to trust me or not. Don't worry, take your time and discuss it with your other clan members."

He then stared at Lan Xueruo, who bit her lips but didn't say anything, "So, you want to talk to them for some more time or come with me, Lan Xueruo?"

"I… I will come with you, Yang Tian." She said with a hint of hesitation. It wasn't that she didn't want to talk to the Phoenix Clan. It was mostly because she could do nothing to help them.

She didn't want to remain here and continue to feel helpless. She also felt that it would be a better idea to grab more information from Yang Tian and know of some other way to break their curse.

Yang Tian and Lan Xueruo were at some distance away from the Phoenix Clan. Almost the entire Phoenix Clan knew where they were living. The distance was short from their clan after all…

The elders of the whole Phoenix Clan erupted in fierce discussions. Many elders were speaking against Feng Baichuan and asked him to let Yang Tian attempt the Phoenix Trial.
