The Ancient Rare Phoenix: Colourful Flames - Chapter 24
Somewhere up in the air, a huge massive monstrous black double-headed crow was rapidly flying toward the direction of the Red Mist City. It was at Early Stage Heavenly Origin Realm.
On top of it, a blue-haired old-man and a mid-aged man were sitting and meditating. The blue-haired old-man was grandpa Shi and the mid-aged man was Wong Lei.
Grandpa Shi opened his eyes and looked at Wong Lei who was still immensely meditating to calm his anger and distract his thoughts.
He took out a Thought Exchange talisman High Rank 10 Origin Mortal Grade. It had many ancient and unknown engraving with tiny golden outlines twinkling constantly. This talisman could reach anywhere within Ice Empire. He used his Qi and activated it then silently started sending his thoughts toward the other end.
Once it was connect to other end, he said.
” Old Ning, I’ve got an urgent favor from you right now. Hope you give me some face for old time’s sake and do it for me. ”
After a while, other end said.
” Old Shi, Since you’re really asking me for old time’s sake, I really cannot decline you. Just say it, I’ll do it as soon as I can. ”
Grandpa Shi was already expecting for this reply and he said.
” I need you to handle one of your Liu Clan branch. My granddaughter was bullied by the grandson of that branch head. In return my granddaughter retaliated and ordered her guard to kill him in the heat of the moment. After he died, she hurriedly escaped.
Anyhow my granddaughter is safe but right now they held my adopted-granddaughter along with her guard with them. I just need you to order not to do anything against her till I reach there. Finally I need you to promise that you wouldn’t interfere with this matter. As long as you do, I’ll only take care of those involved party and not the whole branch. ”
The other end completely stayed silent and finally with a sigh, reply came.
” As long as you show some leniency, I promise you to not interfere in this matter and this will the only time I will be giving you some face. Tell me which one is it? ”
Grandpa Shi finally felt relieved and said.
” It’s the branch from the Red Mist City. ”
The other end asked again dubiously in shaky voice.
” Which city did you say? ”
Grandpa Shi frowned at his shaky voice but still replied.
” Red Mist City ”
Instantly the other end connection was cut off. Grandpa Shi was startled by this and started to check
the talisman if it was suddenly broken. After checking it, he noticed nothing was wrong. He was little bit worried then activated it again to ask again. Before he could try to send his thoughts, other end just loudly roared in his mind.
” Old Shi, You Bastard! From now on, our life has nothing to do with each other. So you better not step into the Red Mist City. Even though you’re at Early Stage Supreme Mortal Realm, you are but just one person. You might be able to scare some Clan with your Realm but we are not among them. For our old time sake’s, I advise you to better turn back and worry about your granddaughter and start to hide somewhere we could not reach. If you dare to come there, don’t say this old man here didn’t warn you. ”
Crushed sound was heard then the connection was completely cut off again. Grandpa Shi froze before started to think over everything what just happen again.
He started frowning and couldn’t really comprehend from where his old friend got the guts to talk like that to him. He was only giving respect to him by letting him know beforehand so he doesn’t stain on their old friendship but suddenly he got threatened by him.
He abruptly stopped his mount up in the air before releasing his deadly aura everywhere to show how much he was enraged just now. He loudly shouted.
” Old Ning, Since you dare to challenge me, let me see how capable your Liu Clan is. If it is not, then there shall be no Liu Clan in Ice Empire. ”
While Wong Lei was startled by the aura pressure and opened his eyes to only see his father being angered so much, which he hadn’t seen for long time. He shuddered and tired to call him in fear but no voice came out.
Finally after a while, grandpa Shi calmed down and looked at his son before beckoning at his mount to start flying toward the Red Mist City.

At the Imperial Palace City, Main Liu Clan
Right after fiercely crushing the talisman, Liu Ning stood up and walked out from his courtyard. He was the old Patriarch of the Liu Clan, the Peak Stage Sovereign Mortal Realm. Usually he wouldn’t interfere about the Clan stuffs but now it was very important.
He directly entered the Clan hall meeting while everyone bowed and greeted him.
He looked around and sat on the head seat before sending out everyone, except Clan Patriarch and grand Elders.
After everyone left, Patriarch Fu cautiously asked seeing him with worried face.
” Old Patriarch Ning, is there something wrong? ”
Old Patriarch Ning looked at Patriarch Fu and gravely explained everything he heard from Old Shi.
When they heard, they got shocked then everyone had very awful expression.
Patriarch Fu feel very sad to hear Hou has dead as he was waiting for his awakening ceremony in 2 years. He did liked him even though he was arrogant and shameless. He just bitterly sighed.
After all stayed silent for a while finally Patriarch Fu spoke.
” Old Patriarch Ning, Do you think Wong Shi will go to the Red Mist City? ”
Old Patriarch Ning nodded his head and seriously said.
” I know that Old Shi too well, He’ll definitely go there, even if someone told him there is a dead road ahead. But that’s not what I’m really worried about. It’s the Empress Bing. ”
” Even after Crown Prince Xiu successfully inherited Royal legacy and acknowledged by the guardians’ of the Monarch Zhu legacy. Emperor still has been maintaining the same attitude like waiting for something. It has been like this in the Imperial Palace City since 2 years ago, staying same calm as if getting ready for big storm. Thus all the Clans and Sects have been staying extra vigilant. None of them wanted to offend anyone relating Royal Family. ”
” Now that, Hou is dead. Empress Bing will be back in fury in the Imperial Palace City. I think Emperor is just waiting for her and he definitely will use Empress Bing and direct her anger towards all those enemies who plotted against them years ago till she cools down. ”
” And if we somehow offend her during this time then even we wouldn’t be spared at all. As for what we need to do is help Empress Bing in Red Mist City at any cost to show our Liu Clan Loyalty toward her. ”
Everyone nodded their headed in agreement as they somehow could already guess what will happen.
Patriarch Fu looked at Old Patriarch Ning and seriously said.
” Don’t worry Old Patriarch Ning, I’ll summon everyone within an hour before rushing toward the Red Mist City. No matter what we’ll give justice to Empress Bing for Hou’s Death. ”
After saying that, he bowed at Old Patriarch before leaving the hall. All the grand elders also left to prepare. While Old Patriarch Ning just sighed thinking it was gonna be a very brutal battle against Old Shi.
