"So this is the reason why I haven't heard about you despite being a King realm expert. This does answer all the questions I had about you. Moreover, with a legendary pill and the attainment of the founder of enslavement path, it's no wonder that you are a King realm expert at only 39. If even with the Beast Sovereign's inheritance you weren't able to become a king realm cultivator, that would be more suspicious."

Fanrong nodded, unable to find anything suspicious about Ashen anymore. Anything she thought of pointing out was answered by this story.

Moreover, if something didn't make sense, just the name of Beast Sovereign was enough to make sense of it.

This was the reason why Ashen chose this story as his backstory.

This story does wonders for him. First, it makes him the successor of the most revered person in the Zhuji tribe, giving him the status even above the matriarch of the tribe.

It also explains his skills that differs from conventional enslavement path skills.

It even explains his sudden appearance as a king realm expert.

Any other story just didn't do this much.

They had loopholes that could arouse suspicions about him, but not this one.

Any loophole could be explained just with the name of the Beast Sovereign.

This story did one more thing that Ashen wanted to achieve and that was to give rise to Fanrong's greed.

Wait! If he is the successor of the Beast Sovereign then does that mean he will have the same strength as him in the future?

Even if not the same, he should atleast achieve half of it, right?

I have just lost Uncle Shizi, the only king realm cultivator on my side who was supporting me as the successor of my mother's throne.

My brother already has three king realm cultivators of the northern prefecture supporting him, If I don't do something fast, I will be left behind, unable to catch up.

If I can make Huan Tian come to my side and support me, won't that close the gap between me and my brother a little?

Also, with his status as the Beast Sovereign's successor, he might even be able to have more influence than the three cultivators on my brother's side.

He even has two tiger kings as his spirit beasts. Isn't he already stronger than your average king realm cultivator?

Yes, I need to convince him to join my side at any cost.

That's the only way I can have any hope of becoming the successor to my mother's throne.

As she was making up her mind and getting ready to speak to Ashen, Moyun's voice entered her ears:

"Master, we are here."

She looked around and noticed that they were still in the forest so what did Moyun mean, she wondered.

And she soon received her answer upon witnessing the huge number of tigers in front of them, gathered and bowing to Ashen.

There were even three King realm tigers of different species with their army behind them.

Ashen stood up, yelling like a commander who was about to head to battle with his army:

"My family, are you ready? Today we are going to start our journey for my revenge!"

"Grrr!" Multiple enthusiastic growls filled the forest before Ashen sat down and ordered: "Follow after me!"

Moyun again began to walk at the previous slow pace as around a thousand tigers followed after him.

Is this what he meant when he said he went on to enslave the other tiger kings over the past few days?

I thought he meant that he enslaved this infernal flame tiger king, but enslaving this large army in a few days, it seems I have underestimated him too much.

I have to get him to join me at any cost. I can't let this golden opportunity go to waste.

"Lord Huan Tian, what do you mean by getting revenge?"

Fanrong was afraid that maybe their Zhuji clan had wronged him somehow and if that was the case, she needed to apologize and make him forgive them. Get full chapters from novelꞁire.net

Though she found this possibility extremely low due to the fact that he didn't show any malice towards her even after finding out her identity.

Ashen, on the other hand, smirked upon hearing her call him lord.

It appears that power does always bring respect.

He then answered her in a serious and emotional tone filled with a slight anger and frustration. He didn't have to work on his expression since he was sitting in front with his back turned to her.

"It's the Xue Mo tribe! Around four years ago, my whole village was massacred by Xue Mo tribe's cultivators who had invaded our tribe and were being chased by Zhuji tribe cultivators. Fortunately, I was in the forest when that happened and I was able to escape being massacred, but after receiving this inheritance, I have the power to exact my revenge upon those beasts!"

Fanrong was relieved to hear that it wasn't her tribe that was at fault.

"Oh, I had also heard about that incident. Multiple small villages were massacred by them."

Fanrong tried to appear frustrated by the incident, however, she couldn't.

There were more than a million villages like that in the Zhuji tribe, If she felt sad for each and every one, then she might have to live her remaining life by being sad every day.

Ashen also knew that and hence, he ignored her pitiful act as he clenched his fist and grunted:

"I'll make them pay for what they have done!"

The reason he had chosen Huan Tian as his target to steal identity was this.

He really had animosity toward the Xue Mo tribe as this incident was true.

Moreover, since his village had been massacred, Huan Tian had been living alone near the forest entrance and no one knew about him.

Nobody recognized him and this made it easier for Ashen to act however he wanted without being pointed out as something unusual of Huan Tian.

Another reason was his tiger spirit. Since enslaving tigers was difficult and nigh impossible, by succeeding in doing that, Ashen was proving that he had really received the Beast Sovereign's inheritance.
