Condemning the Heavens

Chapter 460: 460

Xue Wei was silent when hearing what Lin Xiao said . "Could it be that these Diviners are unaware of what a Sovereign Beast is?" he asked hesitatingly .

"The Chang’an continent has beasts, but the Sovereign Beasts are known as legends there . To meet them is as difficult as finding a specific drop of water in the sea, so maybe they just assumed that they would be able to tame the Sovereign Beasts?"

Lin Xiao was also slightly hesitating, not sure what might have caused the Diviners to boast with having the skill to tame a Sovereign Beast .

"Do you think that they might have already tamed one of the Vermilion Birds?" Luoluo suddenly asked, and the others looked at her, only to see her grave expression, and the doubt in her eyes .

"If they had not tamed at least one of the Sovereign Beasts, do you really think that they would announce to the entire continent that they would gift these beasts as companions? If they fail, they will end up harming themselves instead of actually solving their problems . "

Hearing Luoluo’s words, Xue Wei and Lin Xiao, descended into silence again . What she said made sense, it would be very harmful to the continent leaders if they had promised something that tempting, but were unable to fulfill the promise .

"Do you think perhaps it is a trap?" Hei Gou suddenly asked . "Maybe they are actually not gifting the Vermilion Bird Clan members to anyone, but they are spreading the rumors for the sake of having a lot of soldiers of the Demon Phoenix Continent gather in an attempt to rescue them, and then set up a Banquet of Hongmen?"

"You think it is either a Banquet of Hongmen, or somehow the Diviners have managed to learn how to tame a Sovereign Beast?"

Xue Wei was wondering what the most likely scenario was . He was not comfortable, no matter which one of the possibilities it was . He knew that if the Diviners had managed to learn how to tame Sovereign Beasts, he too would be in a tough position . But if it was a trap, then the Demon Phoenix Empire would be in a tight spot, as they would lose a lot of soldiers .

Xue Wei sighed . "Either way, we cannot go there," he said . No matter what the real reason behind this rumor spreading everywhere was, he knew it was not worth it to investigate .

If it was a Diviner, he might end up domesticated as well, and if it was a trap, he would end up dead . It was much better to stay away .

But this also explained why they had not encountered any soldiers so far . All the soldiers were with the Vermilion Bird Clan members, as such, it was easier for them to move around, but it also meant that the land was unoccupied .

However, Xue Wei and his friends looked around, not sure what to do next . If there were no soldiers, they would not be able to fight, but they could not go where the soldiers were as there were too many gathered together, and some of them were King and Emperor ranked experts .

Lan smiled as he leaned against a tree trunk that was on the hill, looking at Xue Wei and the others’ careful expressions . He knew that Xue Wei was actually very concerned about his friends, and the reason he had not gone to see the situation around the Vermilion Bird Clan Members was because of them .

Xue Wei had enough faith in his own speed and ability to escape . He was a Sovereign Beast, a Holy Son, so he had specific abilities that would make it possible for him to flee from even King and Emperor experts, but if he had his friends with him, then they would without a doubt be implicated, and he was unwilling to see this .

Since this was the case, Lan did not mind helping out for once . He needed to see Xue Wei fight; he had to see the world burn for a chance to unlock the laws of the world .

Since he could help Xue Wei and he could help himself at the same time, why not try it out?

"There is a group of experts from the Demon Phoenix Continent around seven hundred miles to the southeast . They are a couple of thousand experts, and there are five King ranked experts, and one Emperor ranked expert amongst them .

"If you want to face off against the soldiers, you might want to team up with them before going to the Vermilion Bird Clan members’ rescue?"

Xue Wei narrowed his eyes when he heard what Lan said . He could not help but feel that something was off with him, helping them so readily, but he could not help but shake his head and accept his advice .

"We will set off now then," he said, and while he was not sure why Lan had suddenly decided to help him, he would accept the help graciously .

"Thank you," he said to Lan, who just laughed and waved his hand . "No problem, I am also helping myself," he said, and Xue Wei nodded his head .

He knew that Lan had something he wanted to obtain from him going to save the Vermilion Bird Clan members, but he was not sure what it was .

Xue Wei felt relieved . As long as Lan wanted something from it, the chances of it being a trap were small .

He had to admit that Lan’s plans were making him slightly hesitant and worried . He could not help but feel that Lan’s ideas had all ended with Xue Wei shedding blood, sweat, and tears .
