Chapter 1825: Chapter 1825: Leng Tianying
The cultivators of the Divine Dragon Hall lowered their heads under that gaze, unable to look directly at the other party, and glanced at the fallen Golden Core. Secretly, they thought to themselves, this guy knew that four masters had died, lost four Blood God Weapons, and still spoke unnecessarily.
Don’t be fooled by his calm face. The calmer he appears, the more it indicates his anger. Yet you furrow your brow, isn’t this courting death?
Moreover.
This master is different from the ones who have died; Leng Feiying and the others were merely adopted children of the Hall Master. But this one is the Hall Master’s own child. Although ordinarily he stands equal with the other adopted children, the Hall Master treats them the same.
But if you recklessly equate this master with the others, then death is deserved.
Leng Tianying coldly eyed the crowd in front of him and stepped forward arrogantly, causing the crowd to part and create a passage.
The elite ambushed here, numbering not less than hundreds, included the Divine Dragon Hall’s most elite Blood God Guards, all of whom were Golden Core level bloodline powerhouses.
Leng Tianying passed through the crowd and leapt onto a smaller Candle Dragon, rising into the air gracefully.
Leng Tianying did not impulsively go to the ruins to intercept and kill Li Feng, not because he wanted to use them to remove Leng Feiying and others, but because he was worried that it would expose the grand plan underway.
It would be easy for them to take down Li Feng and the remaining defeated soldiers, but they wanted to capture Ouyang Tianshu, the Xuanwu general from Ancestor Dragon City, which was not possible. There were surely more experts in the shadows from Ancestor Dragon City.
If they fail to eliminate all and the opposition returns, it would alert Ancestor Dragon City to the presence of hundreds to thousands of Divine Dragon Hall members near First Line Pass, despite Ancestor Dragon City’s current vigilance.
But if their numbers were exposed, the high-levels of Ancestor Dragon City would know that war is imminent.
If they manage to eliminate all including Ouyang Tianshu, it would similarly alert Ancestor Dragon City, as Ouyang Tianshu is not just anyone, and represents Ancestor Dragon City’s border patrol generals.
If he falls, Ancestor Dragon City will surely be alerted.
In any case, taking action would destroy the grand plan.
Leaving was the wisest choice, leaving Leng Yuying and Leng Xueying to act as the Yellow Birds behind the mantis stalking the cicada.
The trap ends here.
Despite their failed mission and losing four of the Leng Family’s thirteen Eagles along with four Blood God Weapons, this might lull the border army of First Line Pass.
Small impatience spoils great schemes.
Leng Tianying was focused on stepping into Ancestor Dragon City, and as for the four fallen Eagles, although they were nominally brothers, Leng Tianying always considered them mere man-made weapons of the Leng Family.
The loss was somewhat unfortunate but only slightly.
Leng Feiying led the crowd away without being the last Yellow Bird, while in the ruined camp, Ouyang Qiuhai glanced at Li Feng who seemed in extreme pain before turning to Ouyang Tianshu.
"Father, what’s wrong with him?"
Ouyang Qiuhai’s knowledge was limited, but Ouyang Tianshu was different. He immediately saw the Blood God Claw on the ground and his eyes narrowed slightly.
"If I’m correct, this should be one of the Leng family’s thirteen Blood God Weapons, the fiendish Blood God Claw."
"Blood God Weapons?"
Ouyang Qiuhai blinked, although she had accessed many things while at Nine Layers Mountain, information about the Ten Demon Hall remained confidential, accessible only to those like Ouyang Tianshu.
Sikong Yu looked on curiously as well.
Ouyang Tianshu nodded and said, "Yes, although Ten Demon Hall is nominally one faction, it is actually comprised of ten halls, with Divine Dragon Hall being one of them, led by the Leng family. The Hall Master of Divine Dragon Hall is named Leng Zhuo."
"This person was unknown two hundred years ago but emerged during a catastrophe, backed by one of the top ten Demon Ancestors, the Candle Dragon, reportedly granted by the Candle Dragon for his bloodline, giving him the body of a dragon."
"According to the intelligence from a spy in Divine Dragon Hall, the Hall Master Leng Zhuo used Candle Dragon Fire and Blood Dragon Gold from the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures in Blood Dragon Pool to forge thirteen Blood God Weapons, comparable to the Earth Weapons in our Ancestor Dragon City’s Spiritual Weapons."
"The materials used for Blood God Weapons have long been immersed in Candle Dragon’s aura, absorbing the blood from the Blood Dragon Pool, hence the weapons are imbued with evil nature, and secretly contain Candle Dragon Fire, making them unusable by ordinary folk."
"Leng Zhuo sought people capable of utilizing these Blood God Weapons, secretly cultivating many talents, integrating Candle Dragon Bloodline, for wielding Blood God Weapons, and under the guise of adopting sons and daughters, attracting these outstanding individuals."
"In Divine Dragon Hall, underneath the Hall Master are the Leng family’s thirteen Eagles, core forces and each owns a Blood God Weapon, their strength far surpasses their peers."
"If that’s the case, doesn’t that mean Li Feng has been touched by Candle Dragon Fire?"
Sikong Yu took a deep breath; as the eldest daughter of the Vermilion Bird lineage, she had ample knowledge of the significant battle over two hundred years ago, marking a turning point from prosperity to decline for the Sikong family.
During that battle, Vermilion Bird was heavily wounded by Candle Dragon, with the Sikong family’s core forces mostly lost, leaving only the inconspicuous descendant as Family Head.
Sikong Yu knows the horror of Candle Dragon Fire intimately since its fire attributes are domineering, cold, and brutal, standing in stark contrast to Vermilion Bird Fire.
Ouyang Tianshu nodded solemnly, "Yes, with the Blood God Claw, he certainly will be tainted by Candle Dragon Fire. If not for his Vermilion Bird Bloodline, he would not have endured this long."
"Father, are you saying this bastard will die?"
Ouyang Qiuhai looked at Li Feng struggling amid two contrasting flames.
Ouyang Tianshu fixed his gaze on Li Feng, but still nodded, since even the mighty Vermilion Bird could only be reborn from ashes to rid Candle Dragon Fire, a process that took over two hundred years.
Even if he could achieve a miracle and suppress Candle Dragon Fire, its impact would be hard to erase. A brilliant talent could potentially bring catastrophe under Candle Dragon’s sway.
Ouyang Tianshu hesitated about whether to directly suppress Li Feng.
Sikong Yu bit her lip, not anticipating the situation turning out this way, guessing Ouyang uncle’s intent.
But should she stop him?
