Chapter 103: Conditions!
"LET ME SEE WHO DARES TO TOUCH MY DAUGHTER!!!"
The clouds split apart as a man with a long red beard and hair, a chiseled and masculine face, a well-defined body and muscular arms, and red fiery eyes, adorned in the Phoenix Feather Sect's uniform, emerged elegantly with a powerful aura.
"Father!! At last, you came! I thought you would take forever to come!!" Feng Xue said along with a joyous expression, her face relieved of any worries.
Her Father, the ancestor of the Phoenix Feather Sect, looked down at her with a smile and gave her a nod while descending.
However, when he was about to enter the arena space, a transparent barrier appeared, stopping him in his tracks.
Seeing the barrier appear, he wasn't worried at all. He was confident in breaking this barrier with a single strike.
He raised both of his hands towards the sky, with his palms facing upwards.
Slowly a small ball of fire appeared above his hands before beginning to enlarge in diameter.
Using the new understanding that he had gained of the Flame origin law after ascending to the pseudo-emperor realm, he increased the size of this small ball of fire around the size of the arena itself.
It appeared as if he had created a small sun of his own.
"Crimson Sky Sect, Let me see if your feeble barrier can stop this!" His confident voice resounded in everyone's ears.
Saying that, he sent this small sun directly toward the barrier to ram into it.
Everyone looking at the sky witnessed this small sun get bigger as it approached the barrier.
Their faces were red from the light of the flames and it was only because of the barrier that they couldn't feel the heat, however, they could easily discern the heat that this attack carried.
Most were frightened as they shivered in their places, looking at the sky.
Only Chen Lao and Ashen's expressions were calm.
BOOM!
The Sun rammed into the barrier, resulting in a huge impact that seemed to have shaken the earth itself.
The sun, after the collision, exploded, gushing out an immense amount of heat.
It appeared as if the flames from the explosion were going to engulf everything in their path.
Everyone was sure that the barrier would break any second under this amount of force and heat.
However, it was only after the flames had disappeared that everyone noticed the barrier.
It was fine and not just fine, but without a single scratch on it.
Everyone's pupils enlarged in shock and awe at the barrier, while Feng Tianlong was bewildered.
"W-What? What kind of barrier is it to stop my attack? Even the sect's formation couldn't stop me but this barrier, it is different!" Feng Tianlong contemplated in his mind with a tense expression.
He was sure to break this barrier with that attack, but now that it had failed, he was considering other options.
At this moment, Chen Lao flew to the sky before stopping just behind the barrier.
He cupped his hands and bowed before greeting this senior who was in a bewildered state: "Junior Chen Lao greets senior Feng Tianlong!"
Feng Tianlong was jolted out of his thoughts by Chen Lao's greeting as he nodded at him.
"Senior Feng, I'd like to explain the situation to you if you would hear me out.." Chen Lao expressed his intent in coming in a respectful manner.
Feng Tianlong nodded, giving his permission: "Go on!"
Chen Lao explained the whole situation to him about how Ashen had gained control of every king realm expert with the scarlet mind Schine and everything that had occurred afterward.
"Senior Feng, now His Highness Ashen has two conditions for you!"
Feng Tianlong remained silent for a while, digesting all the information.
He then opened his mouth, speaking calmly: "I understand. To expand his faction, this royal ninth prince has turned you all into his slaves. Well, I can't blame him since it was his merit that made it possible for him to gain control over ten king realm experts in one go."
"But..., I can't allow him to have control over my daughter's life. Let's do this, inform his highness that I'd also join his faction if he let go of Feng Xue and remove her insect. He should be content with this. Now go!"
Chen Lao was dumbfounded by the calm attitude and confidence of Feng Tianlong even after knowing about the situation.
"But Senior, please listen to the conditions..." Chen Lao tried to say but before he could complete, Feng Tianlong shot him an angry glare.
"Sigh, alright I'll go and inform his highness!" Chen Lao sighed and left to inform Ashen of Feng Tianlong's intentions.
Ashen heard Feng Tianlong's request before rubbing his chin in thought.
Soon, he spoke: "So, he didn't even hear my conditions. Alright go and tell him about my conditions and if he accepts, he can save her daughter's life!"
"Yes, Your Highness!" Chen Lao said before leaving.
"Sigh, I've been reduced to mere messenger now!" Chen Lao sighed before stopping in front of Feng Tianlong again.
"So, what did he say?" Feng Tianlong asked calmly in his commanding tone.
"He said you do not have the right to propose conditions to him. If you want to save your daughter's life, you have to agree to his conditions." Chen Lao informed with a small smirk.
"What?? He dares to say this? If this barrier wasn't this strong, I'd have shown him his place. Don't think I can't break this barrier. It is just that I don't want to force where matters can be resolved peacefully!" Feng Tianlong Threatened with wide eyes.
Chen Lao bowed as he calmed him down: "Yes Yes Senior, I know about your immense strength. Now, please listen to his highness' conditions!"
"Sigh, go on!" Feng Tianlong said with a sigh, paying attention to Chen Lao.
Chen Lao nodded before beginning to quote the conditions: "First, you have to sacrifice the two disciples that Feng Xue is protecting."
"Second, you have to also ingest the insect and recognize His Highness as your master"

"If you do this, His Highness promises to not harm you or your daughter!"
"What?? You Dare?" Feng Tianlong roared in anger with wide eyes filled with fury as he began to conjure another huge attack.
