Chapter 286: Feng Zhuo
~~~
Feng Zhuo of the Eternal Flame Clan.
Within the strongest Sects of the Crimson Cloud Empire, few will fail to recognize that name. Feng Zhuo is the strongest prodigy of his generation, a staggering talent that once claimed victory in the Crimson Cloud Tournament. In front of him, every other vaunted genius was made to look like an average person.
He is Lord Feng Shang’s one and only son.
What is he doing here?
“I greet the Emperor of the Storm Dragon Empire,” Feng Zhuo says, dropping to one knee as soon as he enters Liu Jin’s throne room. The young man looks much like his father and his uncle. He has the red hair and golden eyes of the Feng Clan, and his handsome face is only enhanced by the disarming smile he wears. “I can only regret that it has taken so long for our paths to cross.”
“Feng Zhuo of the Eternal Flame Clan, I have heard much of you,” Liu Jin says. “However, I thought you were supposed to be in the Dead Plains.”
When they were sent to the Dead Plains to settle the succession crisis, Feng Hao discovered a hidden room in the ruined temple they were using as shelter. Not only did it possess a powerful barrier that protected them from the Fleshcrafter’s creatures, it was also tied to the Eternal Flame in some way. After all, it was the Eternal Flame that led Feng Hao to it.
A discovery like that could not be ignored. With the succession settled, the Eternal Flame Clan decided to keep investigating the ruins. However, someone skilled in the use of the Eternal Flame would be needed. Feng Hao was too young to be exposed to the Dead Plains for a second time. His parents would never allow it. Feng Zhi was deemed not talented enough, and choosing someone from a branch sect could have been risky in a different way.
