The one who have entered was called Fang Zeng he was one of the smart ones in the family he was also the closest with Shadowslash.

He then came greeted him as he looks at him with admiration unlike his brothers he was leaning on the path of geniuses but because this continent is bias towards strength he was shunned to a corner by his family causing him to feel lonely and despondent.

​​

That is until Shadowslash came to this territory when the two of them met the two immediately hit it off as the two of them are considered much more intellectual compared to the other beastman in this part.

Shadowslash also started training him in spiritual sense technique he was now getting more smarter and stronger so he saw him as his master.

Shadowslash smiled as he looks at Fang Zeng and spoke "Fang Zeng have a seat I have many things I need to discuss with you"

Hearing this Fang Zeng immediately sat down he did not know that his mother and step mothers also his sisters were looking at him angrily his attention is all focus towards Shadowslash.

"I have heard that you have finally managed to nurture your very own force so tell me how strong they are of course don't tell me your trump cards or secrets I just want to assess how strong your group is".

Fang Zeng became excited and nervous he then spoke "My group is only mediocre in strength most of them were Bone Tempering Rank only my right hand man is a Marrow Tempering Rank warrior in our group".

"There are only 29 of us and our job mostly being merchants while sometimes we would hunt bandits for extra earning".

Shadowslash nodded he then gave some tips to Fang Zeng "Since you wanted to create a powerful merchant group you need both intelligence and strength and from what you have told me only you is the only one able to calculate in your entire group".

Fang Zeng shook his head as he explained "Actually one of the younger ones in my group knew how I am now teaching some basic math just like you have taught me our group is progressing quite well since this territory is owned by father but I know that we wouldn't able to smoothly do the same thing to other territories".

Shadowslash smiled as he patted his shoulder he then gave him one more tip "You also should verify the loyalty of new members of your group after all as long as there is one traitor it would spell trouble to your entire group".

Fang Zeng nodded actually he had already scanned his group and knew that they were all loyal to him as most of them were slaves that he had rescued from the bandits.

He was also working great as merchant as he was quite close to Shadowslash most of his venture would always involve Shadowslash's territory.

Since there are no bandits near or around the territory of Shadowslash their group have an easy time arriving at Shadowslash's city obtaining funds for their operation and for their group.

Because of this his father was now proud of him and their territory was earning more money because of him.

His father have now dispatched many of his subordinates to protect him from all cost.

Fang Zeng did not know his right hand man was also his father's subordinate he was just happy to have someone strong to protect their group.

While Shadowslash and Fang Zeng was discussing about their ideas and plans for their territory or group another batch of people entered the mansion.

The entire atmosphere become heavy as the entire family except for Fang Gui and Fang Cang have arrived.

The sons of Fang Gui was very despondent right now as they were always vying for the seat of their father but they also know that they have no chance as long as their brother Fang Cang exist.

Fang Zeng is the only who wasn't interested in their struggle as most of his bloodline came from his mother which was from clear spirit lion clan.

The one dominating his brothers' bloodline is the divine raging lion bloodline which always vie for supremacy.

Because the entire atmosphere inside the room is quite heavy Fang Zeng stops talking as he felt the mood in the entire room.

For Shadowslash he doesn't care since this is a family problem so as an outsider he shouldn't meddle in such an affair.

After a while Fang Gui finally arrives next to him was a great a man that resembles him next to the man were another two old man the aura that they exudes caused Shadowslash to tense as his extinct told him that these two old men were terrifying.

Suddenly his dragon bloodline reacted as his aura clashed together with the two old men causing sparks to fly.

The expression of the two old man changed as they looks at Shadowslash while Shadowslash on the other hand looks at them with interest.

The three looks at each other with their aura still colliding causing the people except for Fang Gui and the man besides him to feel breathless.

After a while the three of them stops as the man besides Fang Gui walks towards Shadowslash and smiles he then greeted him "You must be Leo I have heard many things about you".

Shadowslash smiled as he answered back "You must be Fang Cang the pride of Westward City you truly honor your reputation".

The two then shook hands as Fang Cang sat the two old man also sat down in a corner while Fang Gui sat on the most important seat of all which was in the center of the room.

He then coughs as he spoke "I have gathered all of you here to announce something I will announced this in public tomorrow".

The expression of his sons changed as they look extremely ugly the eldest amongst them even started breathing rapidly.

The only ones who haven't had any reaction were Fang Cang, the two old men that came with him, Shadowslash, Fang Zeng and Fang Cang's mother.

Fang Gui continue "All of you knew that I am now growing older so I have decided to abdicate my position as the city lord and I have decided to appoint Fang Cang as the city lord".

The entire atmosphere became heavy as most of the people inside the room feel disappointed but they couldn't do anything to change their father's decision.

Even the oldest brother among them knew that wether in reputation and strength he was totally no match against a genius like Fang Cang.

Suddenly a voice sounded out from the silent room and because the room was extremely silent the sound of the voice is extremely loud.

"I disagree" Hearing this everyone was shocked but when they saw who have said such words their shocked amplified.

The one who have spoken was actually Fang Cang shocking everyone except for Shadowslash who have sensed something since the beginning and the two old men sitting in the corner.

Fang Gui was first angry but seeing it was Fang Cang who have spoken his anger turned into shock and confusion.

"Father I have been recruited to be one of the candidate to be an elder in Majestic Lion Academy so I will be too busy to take care of your city".

Hearing this Fang Gui did not become disappointed on the contrary he became excited he then grabs the hands of his son and asks "Really?".

Fang Cang nodded with confidence written in his face he then released his aura as the aura of a 4th gate Xiantian Realm warrior or mid stage Xiantian Realm warrior bore down on everyone inside the room except for Shadowslash and the two old men who shook the pressure with ease.

Fang Cang was just basking to his own glory when he saw this he was quite shocked as before he felt that Shadowslash was quite strong now he just felt he was unfathomable.

The two old men then claps their hand as the pressure disperse they then spoke "Now that the announcement is out of the way we are now planning to meet with one of the elder of the dragon clan".

This time everyone was shocked to the core just as they were still dazed by the news the two old men left.

Fang Cang on the other hand looks at his father and coughs as the daze of everyone inside the room dispersed Fang Gui saw that his sons except for Fang Cang and Fang Zeng were looking at him with intense gaze.

So he announced "Since Fang Cang is unable to watch over Westward City so is now not s suitable candidate to be the city lord I have decided to announce that the next city lord will be the first one of any of you to achieve the Xiantian Realm".
