Chapter 391: 383: Drawing the Snake Out of Its Hole
“Your family, without exception, will be exterminated!”
“I wonder if you’ve heard of the Bloodline Tracking Skill. With such a secret skill, no one in your lineage will be able to escape.”
With that, He Song did not elaborate any further. Instead, he simply gazed at Master Lie Feng while secretly sensing the whereabouts of Xu Jie in his heart.
Once Master Lie Feng takes action.
Xu Jie will naturally sense it.
When the time comes.
Whether he rushes from Eight-vein Immortal City to this place.
Or immediately goes to where the Master Guardians of Eight-vein Immortal City reside, seeking protection.
It will reveal whether Master Lie Feng is intending to tip him off, or lead him into the array.
By then, He Song will naturally respond accordingly.
However, He Song already has a contingency plan for whatever Master Lie Feng might do.
If Master Lie Feng is as he said, truly luring Xu Jie to this place and leading him into the array, then it would indeed be win-win.
In the Golden Elixir Array, even if Xu Jie has formidable mana, it would still be hard for him to escape from He Song.
If Master Lie Feng intends to tip off Xu Jie in advance to seek protection instead.
The four Master Guardians residing in the Eight-vein Immortal City, who at most are at Mid-stage Foundation Establishment, will presumably be no match for the Golden Armor Guards under He Song’s control.
Whether Xu Jie will survive or not.
Depends on what He Song ultimately decides.
Therefore.
After telling Master Lie Feng the pros and cons, He Song waited for his response.
As for the Bloodline Tracking Skill that he mentioned.
It was purely a bluff made convincingly by He Song.
There might be such a secret skill in the world, but He Song certainly does not possess it yet.
Inside the Divine Thunder Array.
Upon hearing He Song’s words and understanding the pros and cons, Master Lie Feng’s previously dim eyes showed a hint of brightness.
“Thank you, Sir, thank you, Sir! Rest assured, Sir, I will surely coax Xu Jie to leave the city obediently!”
In the Cultivation World, the importance of bloodline descendants is needless to say.
Although Master Lie Feng knew he wouldn’t escape death, He Song’s promise gave him hope that his bloodline would survive.
Although he doesn’t know if this bloodline will embark on the path to immortality, or if it will be eradicated halfway, the certainty of its survival provides some solace.
Since He Song has already spoken, there’s no need to deceive him about this final matter.
This bloodline will definitely be kept alive.
Knowing that his family lineage wouldn’t be annihilated after his death, Master Lie Feng’s originally determined mind was further consolidated.
For the continuation of his bloodline.
Xu Jie.
Must die!
After making the decision, Master Lie Feng thanked He Song respectfully, then swiftly picked up a piece of paper and wrote on it using his mana.
After finishing, Master Lie Feng even intentionally turned the paper over, signaling He Song to read it.
He Song glanced at it.
His expression revealing a slight surprise.
The letter Master Lie Feng wrote to Xu Jie wasn’t long.
However, its content was carefully crafted.
There were both truth and lies intermingled.
The information ranged from the agreements before they set off, to the process of plotting against He Song, then to the disagreement over division, all recorded on paper.
Finally, Master Lie Feng asked Xu Jie to come to where they were gathered, intending to first give Xu Jie his share, then they would continue their argument.
According to He Song’s guess.
If I were Xu Jie, seeing the four people fall out over how to split things, I probably would have been concerned about getting my share.
Then when they see Master Lie Feng claim, due to Xu Jie’s status as the Sub-Pavilion Master of the Subordinate Treasure Pavilion, that Xu Jie’s share would be given to him first before the dispute, they probably would have believed it to be true, and instantly hastened to this place.
After seeing the letter written by Master Lie Feng, He Song quickly nodded his head.
Only when Master Lie Feng confirmed that He Song had seen the letter and had no objections, did he put the paper into his Sound Transmission Amulet.
As soon as mana was expelled.
The piece of paper in Master Lie Feng’s hand instantly disappeared into his Sound Transmission Amulet.
After everything was done, Master Lie Feng sighed deeply, said no more, and just silently looked in the direction of the Eight-vein Immortal City.
A sense of desolation flashed across his eyes.
He knew that he was bound to die today.
But before his death, to see the enemy who made him fall to this state die first, was somewhat gratifying.
It’s just a pity that the Foundation Establishment Clan he painstakingly established would likely be left with only one descendant after this.
Who knows if this last remaining branch could rise again and step into the Cultivation World?
If it can, then he can die without regrets.
Eight-vein Immortal City.
When Xu Jie received the letter from Master Lie Feng, his reaction did not surprise He Song.
Seeing the four have killed He Song in such a short time and begun to quarrel over distribution.
Xu Jie hesitated in his heart.
But in the end, due to his own greed and Master Lie Feng’s promise to give him a share first,
He chose to quickly head towards where He Song and Master Lie Feng were.
When He Song sensed that Xu Jie had left the Eight-vein Immortal City and was quickly approaching his location,
A flash of satisfaction crossed his gaze towards Master Lie Feng.
Very good.
Master Lie Feng didn’t play any tricks.
Since that was the case, there was no need for He Song to renege on what he promised him.
As thoughts flashed through his mind, He Song looked at Master Lie Feng, deciding in his heart that after settling this matter, he would do as previously stated – leave a bloodline for Master Lie Feng.
Leaving a bloodline for him was a small effort for He Song,
Moreover, even if a bloodline is left, He Song didn’t promise Master Lie Feng that he would take care of his descendants.
After leaving this bloodline, whether they live or die has nothing to do with He Song.
In doing so, He Song wouldn’t need to make any sacrifices.
He just needed to quietly take away a rootless girl from Master Lie Feng’s clan.
When you cut the grass, remove the roots.
This Master Lie Feng will inevitably die by his hand in the future.
Although his clan members are oblivious to all of this, He Song doesn’t want to be confronted with revenge in the future years.
He will take away a rootless girl, take her thousands, if not tens of thousands, of miles away.
The odds of this girl surviving are extremely slim.
Furthermore, without a spirit root, she naturally won’t have the potential to cultivate and become stronger.
Even if she barely survives, gets married, has children and extends her lineage, for her descendants to step into the Cultivation World or even return to the Eight-vein Immortal City, it would be extremely difficult.
Moreover, the girl that He Song will take away will bear a child with Master Lie Feng’s bloodline, but it would definitely take on a different surname.
With a changed surname,
All they have is a bit of Master Lie Feng’s lineage in their blood.
How come it’s about revenge then?
In this way, He Song won’t have to worry about the extremely small probability of revenge from any successive generations.
Furthermore, he has genuinely left Master Lie Feng with a bloodline.
Although this bloodline will likely dilute quickly with time.
And it might even wither away before long.
