Chapter 20

Today I woke at 4 and after training and taking my bath I started to observe the things which I had taken from Shen Hong when he is dead.

I had taken his interspatial ring and also his demon spirit in a soul stone which was the Sacred Flaming Condor.

It was a very powerful demon spirit as it has fire affinity and it can also fly. I had taken it so that later I can upgrade it to God Rank Demon Spirit by using the Nightmare Demon Pot.

I cannot use the items in the interspatial ring right now as it needs soul force to open it.

I placed the items in my inventory then go to the treasury and from there I took 200 Million Demon Spirit Coins and then go to my room and started cultivating.

At 6 I stopped my cultivation and after wearing my new clothes I go outside the mansion where a beautiful carriage and Shen Yuan and Shen Xiu are already there.

We sat in the carriage and after 15 minutes we arrived in front of the Snow Wind Family Mansion.

An elder of Snow Wind Family was standing there and said "Greetings everyone I am Ye Xiu an elder of the family, please follow me to the meeting hall."

"You too elder Ye Xiu, please show the way." I said.

He nodded and started walking inside the mansion while we followed him, after some minutes we were in front of a big door. As the door opened the members of the noble families and the Divine Family were already sitting inside by the big table sides.

Ye Zong stood up from the main chair and said "Welcome to the new Patriarch of the Sacred Family and their members, please take your seat."

I also greeted him and then sat with Shen Xiu by my side.

"So as everyone knows why we are here, we will start the discussion with the Sacred Family as they have suffered the most from this attack."Ye Zong said.

He looked towards me and then said "Why don't the new Patriarch tell us the details about the attack?"

I nodded then said " We were attacked by 10 members who either suicided or were killed in last. And from our investigation there was one more person who assassinated my father, brother and Elder Shen Ming."

"After the investigation we found that one of our member was missing and deduced that probably he colluded with the Dark Guild or perhaps was their member from the start." I said.

Ye Zong replied "But it still doesn't clears that how he was able to kill a 5 Star Black Gold Rank Expert without even making a sound. And what was the purpose."

I said after taking out a box and opening it, which had nothing in it but it can be seen that there was a scroll there, "We also don't know how he did it but for the matter of their purpose I think it was this box. It was found next to Shen Hong's body and from my perspective I think it was a very powerfull cultivation technique."

Everyone nodded and then Ye Zong said "We and the other two Major families were also attacked but with only 5 - 5 members of Dark Guild each. But the casualties were big because we were ambushed and from their suicidal technique."

The other family heads nodded then an elder looked towards me said mockingly "We really are very sad for Shen Hong's loss but City Lord the Sacred Family is now just a noble family now."

Ye Zong looked towards me and then I replied to him "Our family member Shen Yan has already brakethrough to the Black Gold One Star."

Ye Zong nodded and the elder now seems red as he was embarrassed and said "Sorry for my impudence, Lord Shen fei."

"Next time be careful about what you say." I said to him.

"City Lord I would also like to propose that everyone should investigate in their family for the members of the Dark Guild and City Lord should also investigate the whole Glory City." I said to everyone.

"You are right, everyone here will definately do this. And as the purpose of the meeting is finished we should go do our work." Ye Zong said.

After that everyone started to leave and when everyone left I looked towards Ye Zong and said "City Lord as my brother is dead, I will compensate 10 million for the marriage annulment."

"It isn't necessary, we know that it could not be avoided." He replied.

"City Lord there is another thing for which I want your favor." I said to him.

"Well tell me about it." He said.

"City Lord you know that our founder has made many Inscription from which one of them is Scarlet Sunburst Inscription Pattern." I said.

"Yes I know about his inscriptions, he was genius in it." He said.

I said as I took a book out and gave to him "Well City Lord, the Scarlet Sunburst Inscription Pattern, which he claimed was created by him, was stolen from the Lightning Flame Burst Pattern (Book of Divine Lightning Fire ). This is a breach of the Demon Spiritualist Code Of Conduct  and a stain on the family's reputation."

He started to see the Lightning Flame Burst Pattern and then said "You are true, now tell me what do you need from me."

I smiled and said "City Lord I would just want you to reform the Scarlet Sunburst Inscription Pattern details as it was made by our ancestor by making a simpler version of Lightning Flame Burst Pattern. This way our ancestors and family reputation will not be tarnished and from what I know no one has read that book yet so it will not be exposed and even if it is exposed it is the truth that it is a simple version of Lightning Flame Burst Pattern, I would like to offer 20 million Demon Spirit Coins for this."

"Are you bribing me." He said sternly.

"I am not, I just want you to think it as if you expose it then our family reputation will decrease but nothing more than that and our relationship with your family will also be tarnished. So what do you choose hatred or cooperation from us." I also replied to him with a hard face.

He stayed silent for sometime then said "50 Millions."

"30"

"45"

"35"

"40"

"Deal." I said then took out 40 Demon Spirit notes each of 1 million value and gave him.

"Well then now if you don't need anything else, leave." He said.

"Happy Cooperation City Lord." I said and then go outside the mansion where Shen Yuan and Shen Xiu were waiting for me.

"What took you so long. Shen Xiu asked.

"Just completing a deal for not having future problems." I said then sat in carriage as we go to our mansion.

I was happy as now Nie Li will not be able to target us with the inscription help. After I arrived there we ate the dinner then I decided to sleep as it was a very exhausting day.
