"Wait," a Fen Family elder coughed and said slowly, "wait for the day when the divine awakens, when the God of Heavenly Flame returns, all will be settled."
The other high-ranking members of the Fen Family silently nodded their agreement.
"Before the return of the God of Heavenly Flame, let us not make unnecessary moves or draw the attention of Xia Country. We are the last embers of the old era; if we too were gone, when the God of Heavenly Flame returns, he might be deceived by these cunning people of Xia Country," another elder cautioned.
In the secret room, the current elders of the Fen Family reached a consensus.
The next day, word reached the upper echelons of Great Xia.
The Fen Family's top ranks were purged once again, this time more thoroughly than before.
Much of the remaining family elders had perished.
Chen Xing also received the news, and he was instructed to keep a close watch on the two young Beast Tamers attending from the Fen Family.
