”I think we should let Jian Xiong decide for herself,” Li Dao replied after a moment of silence.

”Alright, alright, let Xiong'er decide for himself.” Sword Saint nodded as a bright light flashed in his eyes.

”City Lord, I've come to find you today for a matter that I wish to discuss with you.” Li Dao spoke after considering for a moment. Sword Saint was both a title and a name. It was not good to call him by his first name.

”There's no need to be polite. We're family now. If you have anything to say, just say it directly.” The Sword Saint had a smile plastered across his face.

”The sacred beast on top of the Sword Mountain is of great use to me. I would like to ask the mayor to grant it to me.” Li Dao went straight to the point.

The Sword Saint was silent. Fire Phoenix had said that it was a sacred beast from the Sword Crafting City, but it could not communicate with others. Instead, it had injured many people.

”It's not that I don't want to betroth him to you, Fire Phoenix said that he's my Sword Crafting City's holy beast, but he's not my Sword Crafting City's pet. Furthermore, he's unusually vicious.”

When the Sword Saint spoke, he felt somewhat awkward. After all, this was the first time Li Dao had requested for him, but he was unable to do so.

”I think the mayor has misunderstood. I don't want it as a pet, I need it for the Phoenix Blood.” Li Dao explained.

”You want to kill Feng?”

The sword elder was astonished and the expression on his face was unnatural.

”Yes sir!”

He had to kill the four spirits and use their source energy to help him advance to the Immortal Soul stage.

”However, the Fire Phoenix's strength is too strong. Even if we gather the entire Sword Crafting City, we still won't be able to kill it!” I won't hide it from you. The Fire Phoenix was a existence of my Sword Crafting City, and all of the previous Sword Crafting City's lords had thought of slaughtering it, but in the end, nothing had happened. Only the first generation City Lord was able to defeat Fire Phoenix, but he was only injured and not killed. ”

The Sword Saint had told Li Dao the truth, so he did not support Li Dao in slaying Feng.
