Shen Yanxiao’s eyes reddened. Be it Shen Ling or Shen Feng, they had not asked for her to save them the moment they saw her. Instead, they asked for her to leave immediately. They did not care about their safety and only wanted for her to be safe and sound. How could she remain untouched by such deep feelings?
“Grandfather, I won’t leave. Don’t worry, I have my own means to deal with them. I will bring you and Fifth Uncle away from this place and personally end Shen Duan and Shen Yue’s feeble life.” Shen Yanxiao tightly grasped Shen Feng’s trembling hands. She found his head full of white hair exceptionally glaring.
“Sigh, you don’t know the severity of this. This is not something you can interfere with. Your uncles have led the wolf into our house. The Vermilion Bird Family is doomed.” The betrayal of his biological sons and the attack of an expert had caused Shen Feng to feel despair.
Shen Yanxiao furrowed his brows. She knew that Shen Feng was referring to the Broken Star Palace.
“Is grandfather referring to the Broken Star Palace?”
Shen Feng was stunned. “You already know?”
Shen Yanxiao nodded. “Shen Yifeng acknowledged Ruan Yingzhe from the Broken Star Palace as his teacher. Fifth Uncle has also told me about the general situation of that organization. I know that he is a second class expert, but so what? Our Vermilion Bird Family are no pushovers.”
“The Broken Star Palace is not as simple as you think. Your Fifth Uncle doesn’t know much.” Shen Feng sighed. “Do you know that during the war between gods and devils, humans had also participated? Humans stood on the side of the gods to fight against the devils, and in order to show their appreciation, the gods used their powers to raise numerous experts to a frightening level. When the war ended, the God race fell and the Devil race had been chased back to their world. In the end, there was a huge discrepancy between those human experts who had received god’s power and their peers who did not. With all of them witnessing the most tragic battle in the world and getting tired of it all, they all retired and collectively built the Broken Star Palace to reside within.”
“Thousands of years after that war, the Brilliance Continent had experienced countless calamities, but those experts of the Broken Star Palace rarely appeared. They only provided assistance to suppress the demons when the four countries were founded. The origin of our five families and the Broken Star Palace can be traced back to the war, as the five mythical beasts joined hands with the humans to fight alongside those experts to resist the devil’s invasion. The rules of the Broken Star Palace throughout different generations have been to respect the strong, and those who had gone through second class promotion possessed absolute power in the Brilliance Continent. The difference between their strength and those normal people were too vast, so to avoid an unbalanced power dynamic in the world, they invited all those second class experts to the Broken Star Palace.”
“After thousands of years, the Broken Star Palace has gathered countless second class experts, and no one know of their exact strength. But several days ago, Ruan Yingzhe from the palace had suddenly appeared in the Longxuan Empire and stood on Shen Duan’s side to seize the Vermilion Bird Family. I have no idea why they have suddenly interfered in the Brilliance Continent’s internal affairs, but it was the first time after hundreds of years since someone from there had appeared in the public eye. This is not a small matter, and regardless of the reason behind their actions, Xiaoxiao, you are not their opponent.” Shen Feng tried his best to persuade Shen Yanxiao.
After she heard the story, she was slightly stunned.
Unexpectedly, the Broken Star Palace appeared after the war, but Xiu did not seem to know of their existence.
“Xiu, you don’t know the Broken Star Palace?” Shen Yanxiao asked in her mind.
“I don’t know anything that happened after the war between gods and devils.” Xiu indifferently answered.
“…” He did not know anything related to the aftermath of the war, didn’t that mean…
Xiu existed when the war unfolded?
