Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 1920 Reminder

Richard's eyes flashed with anger. He decided that he would not show the traitor any mercy once hefound out who it was. However, this was not the right time to pursue that matter just yet.

"Chief Richard, you have until tomorrow to think this through. As soon as you come up with adecision, send someone to inform me. We'll be staying in the Breeze Tavern in the Wankong City. Ilook forward to working with you soon.” Seth had finally achieved the purpose of his visit, so hestood up from his seat and left with his men.

In his anger, Richard slapped the arm of his chair hard right after Seth took his leave. Nobody in thehall had seen their patriarch this infuriated, so they did not dare to say a word.

Of course, they all could understand why Richard reacted that way. Their clan had always had a hardtime struggling among the great clans. Now that they finally found a legendary chose one, theywere hopeful that they could turn the tide and change their fate in the upcoming trip to theEthereal Valley—until the Myriad Spiritual Hall learned about their secret and was now using it toget the better of them. Surely, such trickeries could throw anyone off their balance.

When he had finally calmed down, Richard waved his hand and asked everyone to go. "You're allfree to leave. Alex, you stay back.”

They immediately complied, leaving only Alex and Richard in the hall.

"Father, we must replace out who did this at once!" Alex was so mad that her fury manifested in hervoice.

"Yes, we will. But right now, we have more important matters to deal with. We can't let the MyriadSpiritual Hall spread this information everywhere else. We might have to compromise,” Richardexpressed discreetly.

"If we do that, we're most likely handing them our position in the five great clans on a silver platter.This compromise will do us more harm than good," Alex said worriedly.

"That's true. Can you think of something else we can do?"

Although she had expected the question, Alex was rendered speechless. She knew that the MyriadSpiritual Hall would easily disclose the information to the public as soon as the Wankong Clan chosenot to cooperate with them.

While she was quiet, Richard then continued, "We can't let them have their way, so we have to makesure that we'll get more benefits from this alliance than them. I don't know how we can do that yet,but I'm certain they won't make things easy for us.”

Alex finally raised her head and stated, "Father, I might have an idea.”

"Alright, let's hear it."

"I think maybe we can send the chosen one himself to negotiate with the Myriad Spiritual Hall,” Alexsuggested.

"We're sending Rookie?" Obviously, the patriarch was surprised to hear this unexpected proposal."Yes. If we go there to negotiate for our own benefits, we'll easily be swayed because ourperspective only lets us look at the clan's possible gains and losses. But, if we send the chosen oneto negotiate for us, we are more likely to win more than what we'll lose. Besides, it's Rookie who willenter the Ethereal Valley, so he has the final say on what we and the Myriad Spiritual Hall will getfrom this quest. Therefore, no matter what request Rookie makes, they wouldn't be able to say no,"Alex thoughtfully explained.

"You make a good point, but do you think Rookie will agree to this?"

"He might. I'll try and persuade him."

"Alright. Then, I'll leave that to you." Despite knowing that they were left with no other choice,Richard felt a little encouraged after his discussion with Alex.

Alex then went straight to the Spring Cloud Pavilion to visit Rocky and Vivian and inform themabout the Myriad Spiritual Hall's request for an alliance.

Upon hearing Alex, Vivian snorted, and then commented, "Ha! Aren't they cunning? They're makingit way too obvious that they're desperate to enter the Ethereal Valley.”

"Their actions had forced our clan into this predicament. Once word about Rookie gets around, thefour great clans will covet his gift. They will stop at nothing to coerce us into handing you over,"Alex elaborated further.

Rocky was deep in thought before he remarked, "Your misgivings have paved the way for theMyriad Spiritual Hall to take advantage of you by forcing you into this alliance.”

"What do you mean?" Alex could not make sense of what Rocky said.

"Tell me, do they have any evidence to prove my identity?" Rocky astutely asked.

Alex was incredibly stunned that her jaw almost dropped. What Rocky implied did not cross hermind once, so it had given her a sudden enlightenment.

"Let them spread the news if that's what they'll do. We can just wait and see if the other clansbelieve it to be true,” Rocky recommended confidently.

"Well, what if some of them actually believe it?"

"Even if they do, they won't make a move without investigating first. Nobody would provoke yourclan for no reason. Besides, there isn't much time left before the Ethereal Valley opens. I don't thinkthey'd want to waste that on a rumor that doesn't have any conclusive evidence," Rocky pointed outtactfully.

"That makes sense.”

"Don’t forget, your clan is one of the five great clans for a reason. Don't let any of yourapprehensions engulf you, since that's exactly how the Myriad Spiritual Hall tried to get the best ofyou. Send your men to refuse their proposal. If Seth keeps causing trouble, I'll deal with him myself,”Rocky continued, assuring Alex.

The longer Alex pondered over his words, the more she was convinced. She then bid them goodbyeand left the pavilion.

As soon as Alex was out of sight, Rocky turned to Vivian and smiled. "Get ready, Miss Vivian.Something huge is about to happen tonight.”

As though she fully understood what Rocky meant, Vivian simply nodded.

Meanwhile, Alex returned to her father and told him about Rocky's take on the matter. The patriarchagreed that it would disgrace and embarrass their family name if they were to accept the deal withthe Myriad Spiritual Hall.

Moreover, just as Rocky had emphasized, the Myriad Spiritual Hall had no evidence to prove hisidentity at all. Hence, there was no reason why they should feel threatened by them.

Right after his conversation with Alex, Richard sent his men to the Breeze Tavern and sternly refusedtheir request.

"Damn it!" Seth got so mad that he swept the tea set off the table and into the ground.

"Young master, it seems they want it the hard way! Let's show them that they were wrong to rejectour offer. Tonight, I will send my men to sneak and capture the chosen one,” a premium-stageSpiritual Emperor quickly suggested.

"Are you sure you can do this?" With knitted brows, Seth took interest in this plan.

"They won't have any idea what's about to hit them. Besides, we were told that the chosen one ismerely a Spiritual King. We'll make a feint to distract their people, then we'll capture the chosen one.It can't go wrong!" The Spiritual Emperor sounded so confident.

"Alright. Now, go get ready. Do not fail me." Seth sharply ordered.

The Spiritual Emperor bowed in respect, then left in a hurry.

Later that night, even though the entire Wankong Clan residence was still alive with lights, silencefilled the air. No one was out except for the night patrols.

Slowly, a dozen figures crawled up a high wall on the east side, and then jumped inside.

They sneaked into the first and second tiers of the Wankong Clan residence without getting noticed.Not long after, some of the buildings in those areas suddenly burst into flames. As the fire spreadquickly, lots of people either got burned to death or severely injured. The havoc soon alarmed theentire clan.
