Chapter 3 - Scheme

"Sir, what is the reason behind this meeting?" One of Wang Jian's loyal advisors asked. His name is Jie Wan. He had already passed his fifties, but he still appeared just a bit older than a middle-aged man.

He holds a great influence in Wang Jian's court and the previous Wang Jian would usually act on Jie Wan's advice. The idea of having Su Xian cultivate was provided by Jie Wan.

"Capture the warriors of those rebellious tribes," Wang Jian ordered.

"…Sir, wouldn't it be bad if we capture members of these tribes? We have lost many personnel and the reinforcements haven't arrived yet," Jie Wan suggested.

Most of the people in Wang Jian's court agreed with Jie Wan's suggestion.

"That's right, Milord. Sir Jie is absolutely correct. It would be a blunder to rashly act against these tribes. Once the reinforcements arrive, we can state that these tribes are planning a rebellion and use those forces to instantly slaughter them all."

Wang Jian's expression turned grave upon hearing their words.

On surface, this appeared to be a marvelous plan. However, Wang Jian knew that Lin Feng would attack them soon. The reinforcements would probably be too late when they arrive.

Wang Jian has to create a meticulous strategy before that. And it was impossible to do so without acquiring detailed information about Lin Feng.

"…Use all your connections. By the end of the day, I want a member of each tribe in this mansion," Wang Jian ordered domineeringly.

He left the hall, leaving behind an overbearing aura. His advisors were shocked to witness such a great change.

They wore helpless countenances as they left the hall to carry out this order. Fortunately, the task wasn't that challenging.

Each of them held a number of contacts in Zhenguan Region. They captured nine warriors of the tribes. Three warriors belonging to each tribe.

Wang Jian ordered his subordinates to thoroughly interrogate these members and acquire information about the tribes.

By the end of the day, Wang Jian held three thick files in his hands that contained all the information he required.

Apparently, a couple of warriors from the Miracle Angel Tribe witnessed that sight of Wang Jian's warriors ruthlessly beating Lin Feng. Among the warriors of the Miracle Angel Tribe was a young woman who was the tribe leader's only daughter. She pitied Lin Feng greatly and expressed her desire to save him.

After Wang Jian was gone, taking Su Xian with him, these warriors immediately approached Lin Feng to take him to their hideout and heal him.

Wang Jian's men soon arrived to silently kill Lin Feng. These warriors instantly killed these assassins and fled. They were heading to their hideout.

In their hideout, the Miracle Angel Tribe used some special herbs to heal Lin Feng.

However, these herbs seemed to have done something miraculous as Lin Feng's body started glowing brightly. The glow receded soon, but the elders in the Miracle Angel Tribe sensed a very noble and majestic aura from Lin Feng.

They soon found out that Lin Feng actually possessed Holy Light Physique.

The Miracle Angel Tribe is a small community that regards the Light God as its deity. All the warriors who possess Light Element are considered blessed by the Light God.

Meanwhile, Lin Feng actually possessed Holy Light Physique. This meant he was a Holy Son!

The Miracle Angel Tribe's leader, Han Lei, immediately broadcasted this information to the entire clan.

Thus, Lin Feng's prestige quickly rose in the Miracle Angel Tribe.

Very soon, the entire resources of this tribe were accessible to Lin Feng. This allowed Lin Feng to grow quickly.

The leader even betrothed his daughter to Lin Feng. Her name is Han Xifeng. She possessed the purest Angel Bloodline within them. Her Light Element was the purest and most intense. So, she was a perfect match for Lin Feng.

Meanwhile, the other two tribes caught wind of news regarding this Holy Son. They joined forces and decided to secretly attack the Miracle Angel Tribe. They didn't want this tribe to grow in strength.

During this battle, Lin Feng earned a name for himself as he killed many enemies. However, the losses incurred by the Miracle Angel Tribe were too heavy. Thus, they were forced into hiding.

Lin Feng, Han Lei, Han Xifeng, and thirty more members of the Miracle Angel Tribe managed to flee. Unfortunately, these members were heavily injured and were in no condition to battle.

In the location they were hiding, Lin Feng encountered a fortuitous opportunity. He came across a mythical sword that was sealed inside the cave.

After passing a couple of trials, Lin Feng acquired that sword and his cultivation rose dramatically. He broke through to the Spirit Realm.

The name of this sword is Nine Heavenly Lightning Sword. Legends stated that this sword possessed nine colored lightning.

Right now, Lin Feng could only utilize the Golden Lightning. But even this lightning was exceptionally powerful. Even an Origin Realm cultivator would be slightly injured after getting hit by this Golden Lightning Strike.

Thus, Lin Feng utilized the Nine Heavenly Lightning Sword to defeat members of the other two clans and gained their respect.

The mentality of the Crimson Mammoth Warriors was rather simple. As long as Lin Feng could defeat them in one-on-one battle, they would forever be loyal to him.

Meanwhile, the Night Dagger Clan gave up upon noticing that two of the three tribes have already submitted to Lin Feng.

Their skill rested in making surprise attacks. In frontal assault, they were the weakest among the three tribes.

The Crimson Mammoth Warriors and the Night Dagger Clan knew of Lin Feng's betrothal to Han Xifeng. They were worried that Lin Feng would be too biased towards the Miracle Angel Tribe, so they chose the most beautiful woman from their respective tribes and ordered them to seduce Lin Feng.

These beauties had been sheltered and trained by these tribes since their birth. Now that the tribe required their assistance, they naturally didn't back away.

Moreover, they were very satisfied with Lin Feng. He was somewhat handsome, held high status, and was very powerful.

Lin Feng wasn't very experienced in romantic matters and couldn't understand whom he loved truly.

He eventually discovered that it would be better to embrace everyone rather than choose a single lover.

As he finished perusing the catalogue, Wang Jian sighed. It was approximately what he had anticipated.

"Free our prisoners," Wang Jian sent this order to his subordinates.

By prisoners, he naturally meant the members belonging to these tribes that had been imprisoned.

Meanwhile, in the depths of Lush Stream Timberland, all three tribes had gathered for a summit.

The purpose of this meeting couldn't be clearer. It was to decide on an opportune moment to attack Wang Jian's regime.

Wang Jian had just crossed their bottom line by capturing their members in Zhenguan Region.

However, before the session could conclude, they learned that Wang Jian had released the imprisoned members.

This shocked the tribes as they failed to understand why Wang Jian would release them.

They weren't deluded into thinking that Wang Jian had a sudden epiphany, so he released them.

And sure enough, when these members returned to their respective tribes, they all understood Wang Jian's scheme.
