Zither Emperor Chapter 449 Chapter 139 The Spirit in the Black Box Part 2

449: Chapter 139: The Spirit in the Black Box (Part 2) 449: Chapter 139: The Spirit in the Black Box (Part 2) “It does no harm to tell you, for there’s no one in this world who will remember my name anyway.

My name is Phil Jackson.

As for my identity, you’ve probably guessed it, yes, I am the former Tower Master of the Dark Tower.

The current Master of the Dark Tower, Sloan, was my student.”

Upon hearing Phil Jackson’s words, Ye Yinzhu momentarily fell into a brief stupor.

He had indeed suspected a deep connection between Phil Jackson and the Dark Tower, but he had not guessed that Phil Jackson’s identity would be so formidable.

He had personally witnessed the strength of the Masters of Faran’s Seventh Tower, which had already surpassed Zi rank!

If he was the teacher of the Dark Tower Master, how strong must he be!

“What?

Do you not believe me?” Phil Jackson said indifferently.

Ye Yinzhu came back to his senses, “No, why would I not believe you?

It’s just that all this is so sudden, I find it hard to accept in such a short time.”

Phil Jackson’s voice carried a touch of coldness, “Ye Yinzhu, you rescued me from the Demon God Seal, freeing me from that endless darkness.

I already have a general understanding of your current situation.

If I’m not mistaken, you must be part of the Descendants of Dong Long.

It seems your organization is called the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans.”

Ye Yinzhu’s heart tightened, and he responded, “How do you know I’m from the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans?”

Phil Jackson said calmly, “If I lacked even this bit of discernment, how could I ever have bee one of the Masters of Faran’s Seventh Tower?

Perhaps you Descendants of Dong Long have always thought you were well hidden, but in fact, your existence has long been known to Faran.

As the supreme ruler of the Ryuzakinus Continent, Faran would not have control over the entire continent if they were ignorant of such details.”

Ye Yinzhu fell silent, his heart beating rapidly.

The ultimate goal of the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans was to overthrow Faran!

But the enemy was already aware of their existence, and according to Phil Jackson’s words, the actions of the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans were under Faran’s surveillance.

If that was the case, wouldn’t Dong Long be in grave danger?

Although he was not aware of the true strength of the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans, it was certain that pared to the strength of the Masters of Faran’s Seventh Tower and the twelve Faran’s Holy Knights, the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans would be effortlessly swept aside.

Phil Jackson continued, “Back when I was the Master of the Dark Tower, Faran already had all the information about the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans.

Yet, they never took any action against you.

Do you know why?”

Ye Yinzhu shook his head in bewilderment.

Phil Jackson said, “The West Dragon Empire’s total destruction of the Eastern Dragon Empire was a mistake from the beginning, and as Faran matured, we realized how absurd that mistake was.

Therefore, Faran holds no malice towards the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans.

We would even wele the strengthening of you Eastern Dragon descendants, inheriting the incredibly formidable power of your ancestors.

We had even hoped to cooperate with the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans.

Unfortunately, the misunderstandings of the past were too deep, and with the accumulated blood debts, how could the descendants of Dong Long not see Faran as their greatest enemy?

So, we had to let Dong Long be, allowing you to develop on your own, waiting for the best opportunity to seek reconciliation.”

Ye Yinzhu, deeply shaken by Phil Jackson’s words, said, “Senior, even if what you say is true, the blood debts and the hatred for the destruction of our nation, how could they be simply reconciled with words?

Yes, Faran is indeed powerful now, but that does not mean they can suppress the descendants of Dong Long into submission.”

Phil Jackson gave a bitter smile, “It seems now that the hope for reconciliation is indeed slim.

Our generation of Seven Tower Lords once tried to reach a reconciliation, but to the current generation, to Sloan and his peers among the Seven Tower Lords, the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans are probably not even taken into consideration.

After so many years, I am unclear on Faran’s true stance towards the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans.

But what I can be sure of is that Sloan has no sympathy for you; my disciple is notoriously unpromising.

He only believes in his own strength.”

Ye Yinzhu’s emotions gradually calmed down, “Senior, why are you telling me all this?”

Phil Jackson fell silent for a while before saying, “Do you know why Faran once hoped to reconcile with you?”

Ye Yinzhu shook his head and said, “To be honest, I also know that the current Eastern Dragon cannot threaten Faran’s existence at all.

If I were Faran, faced with this potential threat, I would definitely destroy it pletely before the other party grew stronger.”

Phil Jackson said, “That’s right, anyone doing anything has a purpose.

This is especially true for an existence like Faran that’s almost akin to a belief.

The main reason we initially wanted to reconcile with you, the people of the Eastern Dragon, was to hope that we could have your cooperation during the next continental crisis.”

“Continental crisis?

Are you referring to that sealed Abyss?” A thought struck Ye Yinzhu, and he figured out the crux of the problem.

Phil Jackson said, “The Abyss, that is a terrifying existence.

Even we, the successors of Faran, can only see its power from the records.

Since you know about the Abyss, you naturally understand that the Divine Source’s original seal was set by the ancestors of the Eastern Dragon, and it was the last forty-seven Divine Dragon Heroes who used their bodies to seal the Abyssal Rift, preserving our continent.

You, the people of Dong Long, are the true descendants of the Divine Dragon.

If the original seal were to break, in our calculations, probably only you, the descendants of the Eastern Dragon, would be able to repair the seal.”

Ye Yinzhu listened quietly to Phil Jackson, and said, “Senior, when the Spirits of Abyss ran rampant long ago, the continent was in a rather primitive state, and the stronger species were the Beastmen.

After so many years of development, humans have already bee stronger.

Not to mention anything else, just the strength of the seven Tower Masters of Faran’s Seventh Tower has already surpassed the mighty beings of Zi rank.

Coupled with the massive forces of mages and Faran’s Holy Knights, isn’t that enough to contend with the Spirits of the Abyss sealed within?

I once heard my father say that when the Queen Demon Mother, leader of the Demon Spirits, was against our Eastern Dragon ancestors, the Divine Dragon King severely injured her, and she retreated to the Abyss with the remaining seven Demon Mothers.

Even if they reappear, Faran should be able to put them to death now, right?”

Phil Jackson laughed, his laughter bearing a trace of desolation, “Child, you think too highly of Faran.

Or rather, you underestimate the strength of the Eastern Dragon Empire in those days.

When the Abyss Rift appeared and the Demon Spirits descended to the mortal realm, it was pletely a one-sided massacre for other races, it was entirely reliant on your Eastern Dragon’s power to force back the Demon Spirits to the Abyss!

Let me tell you this.

The strength of each Divine Dragon from your ancestors of the Eastern Dragon Empire was not weaker than the current Faran’s Seventh Tower.

Your mighty warriors of the Eastern Dragon could even form an army of Zi rank that exceeded a hundred thousand strong.

Even with such power, they could not pletely destroy the Demons of Abyss, and it was with the help of other races on the continent that they were driven back.

Now, Faran’s power is not even one-tenth of the Eastern Dragon Empire back then, and there is no existence equivalent to the Divine Dragon King that is as powerful as a god.

How do you think we could contend with the Spirits of Abyss?”

Ye Yinzhu heard about the true strength of his ancestors for the first time, not to mention himself, even his father and grandfather didn’t know how powerful the Eastern Dragon Empire truly was back then.

How much of the Eastern Dragon Empire’s civilization has been lost in the long river of history and in the wars of destruction.

An army of a hundred thousand Zi rank?

What an existence that would be!

Phil Jackson continued, “Now that our conversation has reached this point, I might as well tell you a secret.

Those forty-seven Divine Dragon Heroes who used their bodies to seal the Abyss Rift didn’t really die.

Although their bodies have bee part of the seal, their mighty spirits are still alive.

The so-called reinforcement of the seal is merely us continually infusing Elemental Energy into their spirits, helping them guard the seal.

It’s somewhat tragic; these forty-seven predecessors of yours do not know about everything happening in the outside world, in their minds, the Eastern Dragon Empire was destroyed by the Demon Spirits at that time.

Although Faran once thought of reconciling with the people of Dong Long and allowing them to municate with those powerful Dragon Souls, possibly regaining some of the Eastern Dragon’s true strength, we were afraid.

Afraid that the powerful Dragon Souls, upon learning the truth, would no longer guard the seal, and afraid that the people of Dong Long, once powerful again, would overthrow Faran and even overturn the entire current pattern of the continent.”

Ye Yinzhu’s expression turned much colder, a faint light circulating in his eyes, “Senior, then why are you telling me this?

Are you not afraid that after I take the true facts back to the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans, we will take action?”

Phil Jackson sighed, “In fact, it was a matter of time.

Without any action from you, Slone and the others would likely act against you.

Although the seal is unstable, they are even less willing for you and your ancestors’ Dragon Spirits to make contact.

Once the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans bee strong enough, they will feel it first.

With the current strength of the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans, you are far from being able to contend with Faran.

If one day Faran decides to pletely destroy the Eastern Dragon immigrants and erase the history belonging to the Eastern Dragon from this world, that will be the doomsday for the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans.

Of course, it’s also possible that Faran will realize the key point, pletely let go of its position and all reservations, and cooperate with the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans.

But you should understand the difference in the odds of these two possibilities.”(To be continued.
