Chapter 1609: Chapter 1238~1239: Revisiting the Feng Family! The Sanction of the Families!
The people of the Feng Clan had never seen their strong and commanding clan leader speak so courteously to a man, which surprised them all. But when they saw the Demon Dragon obediently sitting like a small dog next to the heroic man, they all revered this seemingly familiar man with respect and moved aside.
"Feng Family Patriarch, there’s no need for formalities! Today, I, the Black Wind Village Chief, came uninvited with just one request. This matter might also concern your clan greatly."
As Jiang Dali spoke, the Feng Family Patriarch’s eyes narrowed instantly, filled with suspicion.
A matter concerning her clan?
Truly, this Black Wind Village Chief would not trouble himself with small matters. If it wasn’t significant, it wouldn’t have prompted this visit. But this significant matter, was it good or bad for her clan?
If this person had malicious intent, what fate would the Feng Clan face?
...
In a locked room on the Jianghu Forum, temporarily opened exclusively for the high-level exchanges of the Four Great Families, representatives of the Wang, Yun, Li, and Zuo families gathered in the room.
Soon after, Ting Shui and Heartbroken Little Knife entered the room, recounting in detail their previous encounter with the Black Wind Village Chief as instructed, then quietly awaited the response from the four mysterious high-level representatives.
They had no idea who these mysterious high-level figures, who only bore their family emblems rather than names, actually were. They could only identify which side they belonged to based on their emblems.
Amidst them, there might even be an elder from the Supreme Alliance. Due to the confidentiality and security of this meeting, it was normal for them not to know the identities of the four.
After listening to the two recount their tale.
The representative of the Wang Family spoke first, decisively, "Given that the Black Wind Village Chief wields such a method, our Wang Family’s stance is to immediately cease hostilities with him."
The representative of the Li Family concurred, "I second that!"
The Yun Family’s representative said, "Given the situation, we might as well choose to cooperate with the Black Wind Village Chief, support him to a certain extent, but with the condition that he doesn’t use such methods on any players, and ensures that no one in the Mixed Martial Arts World learns or uses this method."
The representative of the Left Alliance said, "Indeed, we can’t let this method resurface in the Martial World and be known by the players. That’s the utmost priority. Moreover, I believe the Black Wind Village Chief must be marked as a top-tier dangerous individual, and we should confidentially report this to the Supreme Alliance for necessary sanctions."
Wang Family representative, "Sanctioning someone with such power... With the power of our Four Great Families, that’s impossible. But if the Supreme Alliance is willing to risk using that weapon... it might be possible, though the risk is enormous."
Yun Family representative, "I disagree with the sanctions; the risk is too great. If the snake isn’t killed, we’ll suffer its bite. It’s confirmed that the Black Wind Village Chief’s strength isn’t limited by players; judging by his methods, he doesn’t care about the players’ existence. Once angered, we would suffer great losses."
Li Family representative, "I second that!"
Ting Shui and Heartbroken Little Knife were deeply shocked by what they heard.
The Supreme Alliance actually possesses a weapon capable of sanctioning the fearsome Black Wind Village Chief? What kind of weapon could that be?
Clearly, the Supreme Alliance, composed of the Four Great Families and the twenty-three elders from the six families that failed in the previous Four Families’ competition, is indeed unfathomable and deeply resourceful.
Wang Family representative said, "Three votes in favor. Then... this meeting’s decision is settled. We will cooperate with the Black Wind Village Chief, meet his requests within a certain scope, and should he escalate, we will consider adding him to the top-tier dangerous individual list."
Upon hearing this, both Ting Shui and Heartbroken Little Knife inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.
Thankfully!
It’s apparent that even though the Supreme Alliance holds a terrifying weapon potentially affecting the Mixed Martial Arts World to sanction the Black Wind Village Chief, the risk remains huge.
If... if the attempt to sanction the Black Wind Village Chief, this often miraculous through brute force terrifying guy, fails, the consequences of his fury... might be unpredictable even for the Four Great Families and the Supreme Alliance.
Presumably, the high-level members of the Yun, Li, and Wang families are considering the significant risks involved and are therefore unwilling to take a chance.
After all, failing in such a policy significantly affecting the entire positive structure of the Mixed Martial Arts World would mean the current Four Great Families would face reevaluation, giving the six families who once failed to compete with the four families another chance to take charge.
...
In a modest yet spacious and tall guest hall within the Feng Clan, Jiang Dali pulled out a box from inside his robe.
The box was gold-leafed with red velvet lining and had a circular recess, in which a small porcelain bottle emitting warmth was nestled.
Almost the instant the porcelain bottle appeared, the previously calm yet slightly curious Feng Family Patriarch’s expression drastically changed. She leapt from her chair in surprise and exclaimed, "Phoenix Blood?"
Whoosh!—
In a flash, her figure, swift as the wind, shot toward Jiang Dali, reaching for the porcelain bottle in Jiang Dali’s hand.
With her terrifying speed, she easily outmatched the likes of Li Chimei, rivaling that of Dongfang Bubai, traversing three feet almost without a blink.
Yet in Jiang Dali’s current eyes, her speed, though fast, seemed to slow down rapidly. He could even see the ripples of air she stirred and the dust swirling in the wind.
This indicated his thought process and speed had surpassed hers by a wide margin.
Hence, when the Feng Family Patriarch’s palm passed through the porcelain bottle, she grasped at empty air. Jiang Dali chuckled softly, flicked his fingers casually, and effortlessly sent her flying several feet away, turning her face pale as paper.
Jiang Dali suddenly displayed a peculiar smile, reclined in his chair, and calmly said, "Patriarch, you’re a bit too anxious? Since I brought this item here, I naturally want to show it to you. There’s no need to snatch it. In this world, except for things I offer, no one can take anything from my hands."
The Feng Family Patriarch felt her wrist numb, unable to utilize her Inner Strength normally, shocked at not even seeing him make a move yet being countered so easily, and sighed, "Your Divine Skill has reached such heights, capable of traversing the world. Why play with a woman like me? But... I’m curious, where did you acquire this Phoenix Blood?"
Jiang Dali’s eyes gleamed brightly, having received panel notifications confirming that the bottle indeed contained Phoenix Blood without a doubt.
Initially, when he found traces of blood left by Shakyamuni, it couldn’t be confirmed, nor did the panel provide any notification.
But getting the Feng Family Patriarch’s acknowledgment now, the panel has sent a notification as well. The attributes of the Phoenix Blood within the bottle have changed.
"[Phoenix Blood]
Category: First Grade Wonder
Effect: Increases one’s Power by two cycles after consumption, granting a limited Phoenix Bloodline, impervious to mundane fire.
Description: This is the blood of the Phoenix, one of the Four Spirits. Although it’s not the Phoenix Essence Blood, it’s still extremely precious. It’s unclear why it existed within Shakyamuni’s body, perhaps linked to the past demise of the Phoenix.
Note: Without a Power of ten cycles or unique constitution, consuming this Phoenix Blood is akin to courting disaster."
Jiang Dali looked at the porcelain bottle in his hand. With a slight twist, he removed the stopper, releasing a wave of heat, and said, "Seems like this... really is Phoenix Blood. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have lost your composure, Patriarch. You’re curious where I got this. Can’t you make a guess?"
The Feng Family Patriarch paused, "I’ve heard you tamed the Phoenix of Sword Casting City. That Phoenix is their Holy Beast. I visited the Sword Master seeking it myself, but he wouldn’t allow it. To obtain Phoenix Blood this pure from a bird that only had slight Phoenix True Blood it’s unlikely..., unless you have extracted the Phoenix’s Essence Blood..."
At this, the Feng Family Patriarch’s face showed a rare hint of lamentation, "If you don’t value the Phoenix, why not give it to our clan..."
"Hahaha!"
Jiang Dali burst out laughing, interrupting her, "What nonsense are you spouting? You still can’t piece it together?"
"What?!"
The Feng Family Patriarch furrowed her brows, widening her eyes in a sudden terrifying realization, "Could it be..."
"That’s right!"
Jiang Dali grinned weirdly, his face turning serious, "This Phoenix Blood, I acquired it from an enemy... I extracted it from his body!"
