Chapter 1098 - 917: Bringing Humiliation Upon Oneself

The crux of the problem is that we have no idea whether the array Wu Jinliang uses is actually the 'Beidou Spirit-Rejecting Array'. What a joke to ask the whole Phoenix Clan to migrate based on some unfounded claim!

Feng Xi indeed suspects now that the array is not the one discarded by Divine Mountain, and simultaneously wonders if this guy is deliberately making a ridiculous demand as a pretext.

Shi Chun waits with sincere eyes, as long as the Phoenix Clan is willing to migrate, and as long as he gets the clan into his jurisdiction. As for the 'Beidou Spirit-Rejecting Array,' he truly doesn't mind returning it to the Phoenix Clan.

Anyway, he definitely didn't steal it from Divine Mountain. He just robbed it from Qiankun Sect's disciple Zhe Yuren. As for where Zhe Yuren got it from, let them go ask him themselves. Without proof, no one can casually accuse a Heavenly Court official.

The Phoenix Clan followers standing outside and Feng Chi, listening inside the hall, quietly watch the situation.

Feng Chi's bright eyes blink knowingly, sensing this Master's appetite is rather large, but the vision is alluring—imagine the entire Phoenix Clan settling here.

Feng Xi returned to senses, indifferently saying, "You're overthinking it. The Phoenix Clan is vast and prosperous; your mere Dingnan Prefecture can't accommodate it."

Shi Chun replied, "Although Dingnan Prefecture is small, the entire Heavenly Domain is large enough. Rest assured, Chief, if the Phoenix Clan is willing to move, I believe the Heavenly Court won't mind making me the Domain Master here."

This is no empty talk. If he's capable of pulling a chunk out of the West Bull King Court, attracting the entire Phoenix Clan from there, it would surely be a major achievement. Discussing the position of Domain Master would be feasible, which is why he doesn't mind returning the 'Beidou Spirit-Rejecting Array' to the opposing party.

This goal is blatantly exposed, startling Feng Chi—can one really play the game like this?

Even Feng Xi's mouth twitches uncontrollably. He came to find the whereabouts of the 'Beidou Spirit-Rejecting Array,' not to help the other party gain fame and fortune, nor to aid in his promotion. It's absurd, full of fanciful dreams.

He knows the competition for power here in the Heavenly Domain is heating up intensely, and money pours in like rain. His Phoenix Clan certainly doesn't wish to get involved.

He's come to understand what it means to hold onto an opportunity and not want to let go easily.

However, he stepped right into this voluntarily, where guests follow their hosts' wishes—is there a principle that guests can't let hosts speak?

What the host wants to say is their business, whether the guest agrees or not is up to them, so holding back his temper, he replied, "The migration of Phoenix Clan is not as simple as you think, Commander Shi. Let's drop this topic."

Were it not for the desire to trace the situation regarding the 'Beidou Spirit-Rejecting Array,' given such an impolite request from the other side, he would have stormed out by now.

The usually unattainable individuals have come; Shi Chun will not let go easily, sincerely inquiring, "Shi Chun believes there's nothing in this world that can't be negotiated. Please, Chief, what will make the Phoenix Clan willing to migrate?"

Still on this topic, Feng Xi became somewhat angered, showing it on his face, irritably saying, "Commander Shi, listen clearly, the Phoenix Clan doesn't want to migrate."

Shi Chun seriously refuted, "But what if the Phoenix Clan could replace the Dragon Clan, and become the master of the Demon Realm?"

What kind of terrible words are these? Feng Xi was startled, his face color changing, standing up quickly, glancing all around, his throat even shuddered due to nervousness, worried that this might spread.

If it leaked out that he traveled all the way here to discuss replacing the Dragon Clan, how could that realm's master not summon him for tea?

His gaze swept over the bystanders, Feng Xi finally couldn't suppress his anger, rebuking, "Commander Shi, please speak carefully!"

When saying this, he was already making an effort to restrain himself, maintaining demeanor.

Shi Chun rose up with him, earnestly saying, "I truly have a way to help the Phoenix Clan ascend to the great position of master over the Demon Realm. Doesn't the Chief want to hear it?"

Feng Xi is genuinely curious, wondering if the Phoenix Clan can truly resist asking? Will they secretly try to contact him?

Once this is discussed openly, many issues become easier to handle, likely offering greater benefits than the 'Beidou Spirit-Rejecting Array.'

The two Phoenix Clan members standing outside are already listening, feeling their scalps tingle, quickly surveying the surroundings, very tense. If this gets out, what to do?

Can it be explained clearly? Damn, the Phoenix Clan's Chief personally visits this small place; surely it's about significant matters?

Feng Xi lost control again, angrily shouting, "Stop speaking nonsense, shut up!"

He really wants to ask whether this guy has a brain. Is this subject something to discuss openly, intentionally, isn't it?

His face flushed red, eager to smack this obnoxious demon dead!

Just hate that this rogue is cloaked in the skin of a Heavenly Court official!

"Alright." Shi Chun sighed, shifting the topic again, "I can help the Chief find a way to retrieve that array; surely the Chief wouldn't let me busy myself to no avail?"

Realizing his loss of composure, Feng Xi inhaled deeply, suppressing his anger, saying, "What do you want?" Quick to add, "No nonsense."

The underlying meaning was to speak of realistic demands, not those unreliable ones.

Shi Chun straightforwardly stated, "I lack industries that can pay taxes here. It's alright if the Phoenix Clan doesn't migrate—how about moving most of the Phoenix Clan's industries here?"

Feng Xi's expression sank again, wanting to question what kind of self-importance does he have to make such grand demands?

For the sake of the Divine Mountain Formation, he pressed down his anger, saying, "You're overthinking it. Your place needs taxes, and so does the West Bull King Court. Large-scale migration of industry wouldn't be approved by the West Bull King Court either. Old man, I've been clear enough this time, right?"
