Chapter 2206 Sunk Cost

Wang Hao's state of retreat was soon broken. There was no way. The token in his hand was inductive. This was his agreement with Jiang Sen. He had to come out to meet him. He was very satisfied with his current state and didn't want to be broken by Jiang Sen. No matter what the other party wanted to do, he had to try his best to stabilize the other party and delay as much time as possible to digest what he had gained during this period of time.

But what surprised Wang Hao was that it was Bai Chenyan who came to see him this time.

"Senior sister, why is it you?" Wang Hao was extremely surprised and understood a lot in an instant. No wonder "Jiang Yuan" could have an intersection with Bai Chenyan. It turned out that the other party had a plan.

I said, how could a girl of heaven look down on a waste.

"Ah... what are you talking about, brother Jiang? Why can't it be me?" Bai Chenyan showed an unexpected look, which confused Wang Hao a little.

He immediately asked: "Why did you come to me, sister?"

"I don't know the details," Bai Chenyan shook her head.

Wang Hao was stunned. You came here by yourself without knowing what you were going to do? After all, he is on par with the late stage of human refining, so why is it so exaggerated?

Bai Chenyan also knew that her words were easy to be misunderstood, and hurriedly said:

"It is the great elder who wants to see you. The great elder heard that you have mastered the law of evil spirit. She has also practiced the way of evil spirit for many years, so she wants to communicate with you!"

"Great elder? But your surname is Jin?" Wang Hao asked with a serious look.

"Yes, I wonder if my junior brother is free?"

"The noble great elder invited me, even if I don't have time, I will take time out!" Wang Hao responded with a smile. He has been in the Feiling clan for a hundred years. Not to mention knowing every combined great cultivator, at least he still knows the top figures of each clan.

As one of the twelve main branches, the Tianpeng clan was once the strongest existence, so he naturally knew about it.

And he was very surprised why the Tianpeng clan declined, and the speed of decline was several times faster than that of the Fire Phoenix clan, but the Dapeng clan, which was close to them by blood, continued to rise and surpassed them.

For this reason, Wang Hao also read some classics.

Among the 72 branches of the Feiling Clan, the 12 main branches are the undisputed main body, and the rest are just their vassals. Among the 12 main branches, there are also high and low divisions.

For example, the often-mentioned upper three clans now refer to the Jiuli, Wuguang, and Chirong clans. They are the most powerful, and their size is several times that of the bottom three clans.

In addition to the upper three clans, there are also the lower three clans, which are the three branches at the end. Of course, this name is not nice, and generally no one will mention it.

The remaining six clans are generally not ranked because they are too close.

The ranking is not immutable. The Tianpeng clan used to be the leader of the upper three clans, which is the position of the Jiuli clan now. When the Fire Phoenix clan was strong, it was also very close to the upper three clans.

It is rumored that the three holy emperors of the Tianpeng clan suddenly died, and the powerful Tianpeng clan was unable to recover because of this.

In the past, the Fire Phoenix clan also formed an alliance with the Wuguang clan to counter the Tianpeng clan. Now it is the other way around. The Fire Phoenix clan must form an alliance with the Tianpeng clan to counter the rising Wuguang clan and several other large clans.

A lean camel is bigger than a horse. Although the Tianpeng tribe has declined, it has not become the last. In fact, their size is still there. The number of people and territory are larger than the Wuguang tribe, and not much smaller than the Jiuli tribe. It’s just that the three top saints suddenly fell, causing their strength to decline rapidly. With their foundation, the possibility of a comeback is very high.

Wang Hao was thinking in his heart, could it be that the Tianpeng tribe has set its sights on the Huofeng tribe?

Although the Huofeng tribe has now become one of the "lower three tribes" and is not as strong as the Tianpeng tribe, the Tianpeng tribe does not have the strength to swallow the Huofeng tribe, right?

If you have to rank them, in addition to the upper three tribes, the Nanlong tribe and the Dapeng tribe are also stronger than the Tianpeng tribe. If the Tianpeng tribe wants to strengthen itself, in addition to dealing with the annexation targets, it also has to deal with the obstruction of other tribes. After all, if the Tianpeng tribe is strong, the tribes with similar strength will also feel threatened. In addition, there are two saints in the Huofeng tribe. According to the rules, it cannot be annexed.

It is not difficult to annex a small tribe without a holy leader, at least in the Feiling tribe, where the law of the jungle is more evident. However, the Fire Phoenix tribe still has two holy leaders, not to mention a Mahayana ancestor.

Wang Hao was full of doubts and decided to agree. Anyway, the meeting place was chosen to be Yingfeng Island. Even if the other party had a higher cultivation than him, he would not dare to do anything. He was now a popular holy son. It might not be a big deal if he was ambushed outside. If he was killed in his own territory, the Fire Phoenix tribe would certainly not let it go.

After receiving Wang Hao's affirmative answer, Bai Chenyan left immediately. She was only responsible for passing on the message and did not know the specifics. Elder Jin would definitely not easily reveal such a big thing.

Three days later, on a cliff on the shore of Yingfeng Island, Wang Hao stood with his hands behind his back, watching the clouds roll and unfold!

Suddenly, a golden stream of light flew from the horizon and landed on a huge rock several feet away from Wang Hao in the blink of an eye!

The person who came was petite, with a pair of golden wings on her back, wearing a white dress, and looked like a little girl of seventeen or eighteen years old.

But her aura was strong, and her cultivation was at least in the middle stage of fusion.

As soon as he thought about it, Wang Hao recognized the person who came. It was Jin Miao, the current elder of the Tianpeng clan. The last Mahayana cultivator of the Tianpeng clan was old and weak, and he had been in seclusion for many years. Currently, Jin Miao was the leader of the Tianpeng clan.

In fact, the situation of the Tianpeng clan is much more dangerous than that of the Huofeng clan. The Mahayana cultivator Ying Che of the Huofeng clan is young and strong. Although his strength is only at the early stage of Mahayana, as long as nothing unexpected happens, he can still protect the Huofeng clan for tens of thousands of years. What about the Tianpeng clan? I am afraid that there will be no Mahayana cultivators in a few thousand years.

Although their overall strength is not bad now, they are the most anxious among the twelve branches.

Once there are no Mahayana cultivators, even if they are not annexed by other big clans, they will not be able to continue to maintain such a large territory and interests.

A large number of their affiliated small clans will also leave them, and their strength will be at least 90%.

In that case, it will be difficult for them to make a comeback.

"Junior Wang Hao, meet Elder Jin!" Wang Hao's attitude is very respectful. After all, the other party is a combined cultivation, and his status in the Feiling clan is also higher than his, so he still has the right attitude!

"Haha, Wang Xiaoyou is very smart. I thought you would continue to use the identity of Jiang Yuan!"

Jin Miao's voice is pleasant and smiling, just like a 17 or 18-year-old girl who is ignorant of the world.

"Elder Jin can contact me with the jade pendant, so he must know my identity, but I need to make some things clear first."

Wang Hao paused, his expression became serious: "I came here to seek a chance to merge, and I am not interested in the petty intrigues among the nobles, nor do I want to participate.

Of course, I was able to infiltrate the Fire Phoenix Clan thanks to Jiang Sen, and perhaps there was also your planning, for which I am grateful.

But I am not a thug, and I will not risk my life to do something that is not good for myself. I hope you understand this!"

"Humph, you are very confident? Aren't you afraid that I will tell the Fire Phoenix Clan the secret that you are a human cultivator?"

Jin Miao's eyes turned cold, and the girl's youth disappeared in an instant, with the unique temperament of a superior.

"What's the use of saying it? I have already refined the Phoenix Relics. Even if I was born in the human race, I don't think anyone would have any objections if I say I am a member of the Fire Phoenix Clan!"

Wang Hao was not afraid of any threats. If the secret was exposed before, the Fire Phoenix Clan would probably kill him, but now the situation is obviously different.

How precious are the Phoenix Relics and the Phoenix True Blood? Killing him can only recover some Phoenix True Blood, but the Phoenix Relics will be completely wasted.

The key is that without this "genius" of him, the Fire Phoenix Clan will return empty-handed in this Saint Lord Trial. Can the Fire Phoenix Clan accept such a result?

It is not a new thing for the Fire Phoenix Clan to add new members. For example, Yingjia joined halfway. They were originally a rooster clan and had little connection with the Fire Phoenix Clan.

Later, they were annexed by the Fire Phoenix Clan and became one of the small affiliated families of the Fire Phoenix Clan. But later, a genius appeared, that is, the current Mahayana Patriarch Ying Che, and only then did they complete the turnaround and become the third largest family on par with Ji and Jiang.

If a pheasant can become a phoenix, why can't Wang Hao? The blood in his body is now better than that of the core members of Ji and Jiang. Who dares to expel him?

The sunk cost is too high. No one except Ying Che dares to make such a decision. But once the matter is reported to Ying Che, it will not be Wang Hao who will be punished.

Ji Wanliu, Ying Tianci, Jiang Chunqiu, which one is not responsible?

Is Ying Che willing to give up a Holy Lord? Not necessarily!
