The Elders Stir, Kong Xuan Takes Control

"Your Highness!"

After a brief silence, an Elder shot to his feet and fixed his gaze on Da Peng. "What exactly is Your Highness planning?"

"Are you seeking the Demon Generals' whereabouts so you can seize this chance to wipe them out?"

At those words, everyone present turned toward Da Peng, their eyes full of expectation.

Because another possibility had occurred to them.

But they did not want that to happen. They did not want it to happen within the Phoenix Clan.

After all, if it did, the Phoenix Clan would inevitably face a crisis—perhaps even a grave threat.

Even if it gave them a chance to venture out, or even to rise again, when that time came...

"Not at all!"

Under their gazes, Da Peng made no attempt to hide his intentions. After looking the Elder over, he said bluntly, "I intend to find where they are. When the time comes, I'll even look for a chance to release them!"

What?!

Release them?!

How could he?!

The hall erupted. Cultivators sprang to their feet, glaring at Da Peng.

This was not what they wanted, nor was it something they wanted to face, much less the outcome they had hoped for.

It ran completely counter to the Phoenix Clan's original will—and to the convictions and duties they all carried in their hearts.

At the thought, the Elder who had spoken cursed outright. "Da Peng, have you gone mad?!"

"Do you think becoming the Phoenix Clan Master means you can do whatever you please?"

"Those are members of the Demon Race! Demon Generals! Do you know how many Phoenix Clan Members they killed?"

"And now you want to release them? You're turning heaven's order upside down! If that's truly what you intend, I will no longer support you as Phoenix Clan
