"You also think it's possible, right?"

Ji Feixue's eyes lit up instantly; women always love gossip. In Ancestor Dragon City, the cultivation of Bloodline Techniques is forbidden because practicing Bloodline Techniques implies ties with the Demon Clan. Over two hundred years ago, in a great battle, some humans sided with the Demon Alliance.

These individuals formed what is now known as the Ten Demon Hall, becoming henchmen and lackeys of the Demon Alliance. The Ten Demon Hall has always been listed by Ancestor Dragon City as a sinister, outlawed existence, to be killed without mercy.

But there are exceptions to everything. The Four Holy Beasts also have bloodlines in Ancestor Dragon City, one of which is the Sikong Family's Vermilion Bird Bloodline, acknowledged by the Vermilion Bird Holy Beast itself, serving as the foundation for the Sikong Family to become a First Rank clan in Ancestor Dragon City.

However, over the millennium, aside from the Sikong Family, no other family has successfully acquired the Vermilion Bird Bloodline. After all, the Vermilion Bird Bloodline is inherently formidable, and merging with it is practically a life-and-death ordeal.

Li Feng has exhibited the Vermilion Bird Bloodline, although he isn't surnamed Sikong, it's highly likely he's an illegitimate child of the Sikong Family.

Otherwise, how to explain the origin of his Vermilion Bird Bloodline?

Ji Wuyang has a different perspective on Ji Feixue's suspicion. Because in the Flowers Pavilion, when Li Feng fought Sikong Lie, during the First Grade, he noticed that despite the encounter with Sikong Lie, Li Feng not only didn't fear the Sikong Family but instead displayed cold disdain and ridicule.

If it were anyone else, knowing their background, they might not wet their pants in fear but would certainly not be so presumptuous. In the end, he severely injured Sikong Lie, nearly killed him, and didn't fear retaliation?

On reflection, why does the other party dare? Because he has unresolved ties with the Sikong Family, and he harbors resentment. How did this resentment come about? Isn't it simple? He is of Sikong blood yet ended up in the mixed milieu of the Lower Three Rings.

After discovering his own lineage, wouldn't he resent the Sikong Family? So upon seeing Sikong Lie, he naturally showed no mercy just to prove that though he's an illegitimate son, he's stronger than those privileged young masters.

Ji Wuyang directly supplements his imagination, finding it quite reasonable, and then turns his gaze to Li Feng on the Duel Platform, suddenly standing up.

"Hmm, brother, what are you doing?"

Ji Wuyang answered, "Of course, to handle the aftermath."

Even though Li Feng surprisingly stepped on Zeng Batian, this doesn't mean that Li Feng has secured total victory. This is, after all, a family challenge; Li Feng, strong as he may be, is but one person. The Zeng Family boasts the Zeng Family's Eight Tigers and five Tributes.

Just those openly with Golden Cores number some dozen, and although Zeng Batian is highly skilled, he may not represent the Zeng Family's strongest force. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

If the confrontation were to continue, the Zeng Family could wear down Li Feng through a cycle of battles.

Originally, Li Feng was the lifesaver for his sister, and he survived Zeng Batian's Red Lotus Fire. Since he hasn't perished, Ji Wuyang plans to step forward, protect Li Feng, and return this favor for his sister.

However, unexpectedly, Li Feng, who had remained silent, suddenly astonished everyone, knocking Zeng Batian down and revealing his Vermilion Bird Bloodline.

This gives him even more reason to intervene.

Ji Wuyang leaps from the window, stepping onto his Flying Sword, and comes directly to the air above the Duel Platform, jumping down. Ji Feixue sees Ji Wuyang stepping in but doesn't follow; she's currently under restraint, better not to show up if avoidable.

"I am Ji Family, Ji Wuyang."

Ji Wuyang's voice isn't loud but is clear enough for those around to hear. The people of the Zeng Family, already shocked by Li Feng's revealed Vermilion Bird Bloodline, are utterly stunned.

After all, in Ancestor Dragon City, the only one with the Vermilion Bird Bloodline is the First Rank Sikong Family. Seeing the Vermilion Bird Bloodline, they are bewildered; the intelligence merely indicated that Li Feng came from the Lower Three Rings without any background.

Then what on earth is this Vermilion Bird Bloodline?

Though the reason is unknown, they suspect that Li Feng is very likely connected to the Sikong Family, leaving the Zeng Family in a bind.

Even if they could kill him, they wouldn't dare. With so many eyes watching, if they really killed Li Feng, who possesses the Vermilion Bird Bloodline, what would be the Sikong Family's reaction?

Probably they'd wipe out the entire Zeng Family.

Don't doubt the power of a First Rank family; even if the Sikong Family doesn't have a Nascent Soul ancestor, there are surely Golden Core peak experts.

Not to mention that a family not yet rated has dozens of Golden Cores; a First Rank family's Golden Cores would be even more numerous, and there's legend that these families have guards, all Golden Core cultivators.

As the Zeng Family hesitated on what to do, Ji Wuyang revealed his family name, prompting Zeng Family Head Zeng Chengtian to rise quickly and bow respectfully to the obviously younger Ji Wuyang.

If the Sikong Family being a First Rank family instills fear, then the Ji Family is the royal family of Ancestor Dragon City.

Ancestor Dragon City is governed by eight royal-family clans; their offspring naturally reign supreme in Ancestor Dragon City. To the Zeng Family, an unranked clan, they aren't even ants in their presence.

"Zeng Family Head Zeng Chengtian greets Young Master Ji."

Ji Wuyang ignored Zeng Chengtian, turning instead to Li Feng, squinting, "It's only been a few days, yet we meet again."

The speaker's words were casual, but to the listener, significant; Zeng Chengtian, upon hearing Ji Wuyang's greetings, felt a sinking realization, knowing the Zeng Family had hit hard stone this time.

"Oh, it's you."

Li Feng looked at Ji Wuyang, naturally recognizing him. Although they hadn't fought during the Flowers Pavilion incident, they had crossed paths.

He hadn't expected to encounter him here again.

"What do you want?"

Ji Wuyang looked at the indifferent, unceremonious Li Feng and replied mildly, "I came to mediate."

"Oh?"

Li Feng glanced at Ji Wuyang.

"Don't you think you can wipe out a whole family on your own? This Zeng Family may be lacking, but they have a dozen Golden Cores. If you count some of their trump cards, it might even double. Even with Bloodline support, how many can you fight?"

Ji Wuyang assessed Li Feng's unwilling demeanor, knowing the other harbored possible hostility, understandable given his friendship with Sikong Lie; it was natural to react this way.

Li Feng was quite surprised, looking at Ji Wuyang; why would this fellow help mediate for him, considering he once made his companion spit blood at the Flowers Pavilion? It was more than expecting him to take advantage of his troubles.

Ji Wuyang didn't explain but turned toward Zeng Chengtian.

"Fork over half your family assets to him, and since Zeng Batian lost, he should have died, but my friend needs a servant, so punish him by making him a slave."

"Do you have any objections to my settlement?"

Ji Wuyang dominantly proposed two points, dismissing the mention of the two dead Zeng Family members.

Upon hearing this, Zeng Chengtian felt as though he'd narrowly escaped death, falling to his knees: "Thank you Young Master Ji, my Zeng Family is willing to give another half to Young Master Ji as mediation fee, hoping Young Master Ji is willing to accept."

Ji Wuyang sneered coldly, "Don't be shrewd with me; I'm not short of your money. Divide half as retribution for your failure. As for the rest, I needn't say more."

"Yes, my Zeng Family thanks your generosity, we will not bear any grievances."

Zeng Chengtian quickly kowtowed, knowing he was a mid to late Golden Core strength, Ji Wuyang's power possibly not matching his, yet he dared not show any contempt.

Not only did he not dare, but he also felt grateful; as for his dead son and nephew, not to mention the seventh brother who became a slave, these were irrelevant; preserving the family was paramount.

"Hmm, that's settled then."

Ji Wuyang finished with a wave, turning back to Li Feng, "Come with me, someone wishes to see you."
