Desolate Era: Hatching a Phoenix at the Beginning
Chapter 147 Tracking of the Yan Family
A smell of blood came from the courtyard. Although it wasn’t strong, it made Li Min feel deep fear. He couldn’t help but take a few steps back, wanting to open the back door again and run away. At this moment, a voice sounded. “Stop.”
Li Min froze. He slowly stopped and looked in the direction of where the voice came from.
Behind the collapsed Pavilion was a circular hole and a man in black stood in front of the hole. That voice was from him.
“I heard from the people here that it was you who sent the message?” That person asked Li Min and waved a white jade tablet in his hand.
Even without explaining much, Li Min could feel that the white jade tablet was the cultivation art tablet of the Fire Suppression Art. It was the same one that his family had used to contact the Yan family. The other cultivation art tablet that had been cast a spell must be in the Yan family’s hands.
“Did Mr. Yan send you?” He looked at the cultivation art tablet that symbolized his identity and quickly bowed, carefully replying, “After the Pavilion was burned and robbed, Demon Flame Mountain transformed into a huge mutated beast and disappeared. Father and I didn’t dare to hide it, so we sent out the news together.”
“Hm, you’re really smart.” That person sneered. “When did the robbery of the Pavilion happen? If not for the matter of Demon Flame Mountain becoming bigger, how long were you planning to hide it from us?”
“The Pavilion was robbed not long before the incident of Demon Flame Mountain. At that time, our family was targeted by the City Lord Residence, in order to not expose the underground palace, we were so busy that we forgot to inform Mister Yan.” Li Min’s face was covered in cold sweat as he quickly answered.
He knew that his intention to hide the robbery of the treasures in the underground palace had already been exposed, but he still could only choose to make up some lies. Otherwise, he had no doubt that the other party would immediately kill him. So, he could only find some excuses to buy time, hoping to find a way to survive.
However, this was clearly useless in the other party’s eyes. That person walked over quickly and couldn’t be bothered to speak. He directly threw something into Li Min’s arms.
Li Min lowered his head and saw that it was actually a head that was covered in blood. It was his right-hand butler’s head. He immediately cried out in fear and threw the head away. If the people of Fan City outside hadn’t gone to the streets to watch the fun, his scream would definitely have attracted someone.
Li Min covered his mouth and carefully looked at the man in black in front of him. Seeing that he had caused someone to die, his heart was filled with relief that the other party had yet to do something to him. How would he still dare to have any thoughts of hiding anything? He immediately told the man the truth.
After he explained everything, the man in black silently grabbed his collar and dragged him into the house.
“On account that the Li family and my family have been working together for such a long time, I won’t kill you.” That person sat down and said to Li Min, “However, you have already made a huge mistake by hiding the news for such a long time. Do you understand?”
“I do. May I know how I can rectify our mistake? I’m willing to do my best to make up for the losses I’ve caused you. I hope you can give me a chance.” Upon hearing this, Li Min immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. After all, the house was already covered in blood. A few high-level servants and nameless juniors of the Li family were lying in the room. They were beheaded and the suppressed cries of the women and children could vaguely be heard from the room behind. This scene had long terrified Li Min.

“Of course it’s for communication— Li Min answered hesitantly.
“It seems that your ancestors didn’t pass on its true function to you. The communication function is just an additional function.” The man in black shook his head. “This cultivation art tablet is a key to the Mystic Realm. It can send the owner into the Mystic Realm of the creator. Back then, it was precisely because of this consideration that my ancestors asked you to help monitor the situation. And yet, you hid the news and sealed its corresponding Mystic Realm. My family lost a precious treasure because of this!”
The precious treasure referred to the ice and fire arrays where a huge number of Feather Dragons were reared, which had been sealed forcefully for more than 20 years. However, it was impossible for him to tell Li Min such details.
The man in black paused. Seeing that Li Min was trembling and unable to speak, he softened his tone and added, “If you want to help our family find that precious treasure, you have to find the whereabouts of the thief who stole the secret treasures at that time.”
After some threatening, this question was what he really wanted to ask.
Before meeting Li Min, he had tracked down the remaining Spiritual Energy in the underground palace ruins, but he still hadn’t figured out where the thief went. The city was filled with good and bad people. News couldn’t be trusted completely. After having no contact for more than twenty years, he certainly couldn’t choose to trust Li Min directly. Therefore, he could only give him a small punishment and intimidate him without harming the lives of the Li family. Only then could he be sure that Li Min would tell the truth.
However, Li Min hesitated.
“That thief was extremely fast. After breaking through the underground palace, he quickly escaped, leaving only an afterimage. It looked like he was flying towards the East.” He said with uncertainty, “After that, the City Lord Residence targeted us and used the reason that the treasures in the mansion were stolen to track us down. We could only send a small number of people to investigate it. According to the aura, that thief went near the forest in the east and his aura disappeared—
Li Min indeed had some Pseudo-Divine Beasts that were more sensitive to Spiritual Energy. However, he couldn’t detect the Divine Beasts that had a certain type of Spiritual Energy. It was already quite difficult for him to track the thief to such a long distance.
“Then, did you track down the people who burned the Pavilion before?” The man in black continued to ask, “They attacked the underground palace repeatedly. There’s a high chance that these two groups of people are the same.”

“This is impossible to track!” Li Min became more confident this time. “When the Pavilion was burnt by fire that couldn’t be extinguished, I sent someone to track the Spiritual Energy inside However, the Spiritual Energy seemed to have been gathered on the flames in the Pavilion. There were no signs of mutated beasts setting fire to it at all. It was more like they had preserved the tinder beforehand and deliberately set fire to prevent being tracked down!”
Then, as if he was afraid that the man in black wouldn’t believe him, he took out a small white Spirit Stone box from the pendant on his clothes and handed it over.
“I originally planned to investigate this in the future, so I kept a little tinder from the Pavilion. It’s in this box!”
The man in black took the small box and opened it gently.
“Great Sun True Fire.” He immediately recognized it. “The person who stole the treasures in the underground palace has the Great Sun True Fire of the Immortal Phoenixes?”

“Now that things have come to this point, it’s already something you can’t make up for,” the man in black said coldly. He handed the cultivation art tablet of the Fire Suppression Art to Li Min again. “Do you know what special use this cultivation art tablet has?”“Of course it’s for communication— Li Min answered hesitantly.
“It seems that your ancestors didn’t pass on its true function to you.
