Chapter 212 She, with unparalleled beauty! (Second update)
Wang Chengzhou, a member of the Li clan, was furious! He had no blood relation to the Li family, nor did Li Lizheng. This was a huge problem!
This opportunity was destined to elude him! What if his son or daughter had come along? The thought only flashed through his mind, but alas, they were still too young. Wang Chengzhou's face darkened, filled with resentment. He was the decision-maker within the Li family! This opportunity should have been his.
Xu Wenbo, Lin Xian, Xiao Tang, and Zheng Laosan could understand Wang Chengzhou's feelings about this scissor. Imagine the resentment and disappointment of finally obtaining something after so much difficulty, only to be told it's not yours.
Although Wang Chengzhou was Li's son-in-law, he never stopped striving for a higher status within the Li family. Otherwise, a son-in-law like him would not be able to hold his head high in front of Li's brothers and the old man.
Competition is fierce within aristocratic families.
I understand how you feel!
"Brother Chengzhou, I don't think you need to worry. Opening the seal requires the bloodlines of the five clans, otherwise we'll all be trapped here! I suggest we look among the people here. Who has the surname Li? Let's select one to verify their bloodline. What do you think, Brother Xiao, Brother Wenbo, Brother Zheng?" Lin Xian suddenly said.
“I think it’s feasible!” Xiao Tang said, squinting his eyes.
“Now that all five families have arrived, we can’t wait any longer, otherwise everyone’s food supplies will be depleted and they won’t have the strength to go out. After the seal is broken, whether it will be safe or dangerous, no one knows. So I also agree to select someone with the surname Li to verify the bloodline!” Xu Wenbo nodded and said.
"I have no objection!" Zheng Laosan chuckled and said directly.
"Who said there aren't any direct descendants of the Li family here?" Wang Chengzhou composed himself and sneered. He was enraged by these four people. These people were shameless to the point of being so high-sounding; weren't they just trying to seize the Li family's position? Hmph, don't even think about it!
"Limin, come out here!"
Everyone was stunned. Had Wang Chengzhou gone mad?
"Second Uncle!" A slender man stepped out from the guard team. He was wearing camouflage, had a buzz cut, and exuded an air of competence.
Everyone was stunned. Weren't these the Li family's bodyguards?
Li Lizheng was dumbfounded. He hadn't expected that there would be a direct blood relative of the Li family in this group, Li Min, who was clearly a pure third-generation member of the Li family! His status was much higher than his adopted son's.
Zhang Guodong was also surprised. He was even more impressed; he hadn't expected such a brilliant move in the team. Li Lizheng was on the outside, while the seemingly capable Li Limin was a true member of the Li family. Thinking about it, it made sense. Representing the Li family, how could they not have a member of the Li family?
Li Limin stayed by Wang Chengzhou's side the whole way, keeping a very low profile, even Zhang Guodong was fooled.
"Haha, good. Old Master Li is indeed amazing!" Zheng Laosan was the first to recover, laughing heartily. A somewhat sympathetic glance swept over the stunned Li Lizheng; both his direct descendants and adopted son were present. Heh heh. This Li Limin. Another hidden descendant.
I have mixed feelings!
Wang Chengzhou naturally saw through Zheng Laosan's intentions, snorted coldly, and said to the distraught Li Lizheng, "This was arranged by the old man, just in case, but you don't need to be discouraged. Although you don't have Li family blood in your veins, your third brother has high hopes for you; you are still a member of the Li family!"
Wang Chengzhou was meticulous. He quickly dispelled the estrangement between Li Lizheng and the Li family. Li Lizheng had been adopted as a child and considered it an honor to contribute to the Li family. Therefore, his words were very effective.
Li Lizheng, the "second uncle," was so moved that his eyes welled up with tears.
"Fourth Brother." At this moment, Li Limin, a young man who had just appeared from the hidden group, addressed Li Lizheng respectfully.
The third generation of the Li family consists of three direct descendants, plus Li Lizheng, their adopted son, making a total of four. Now that Li Limin has appeared, the number of direct blood relatives has increased to four.
"Fifth brother," Li Lizheng said, unusually moved.
Wang Chengzhou admired Li Limin's actions, but now was not the time for others to watch the Li family reunite.
"Limin, come here. Take this seat!" Wang Chengzhou said to Li Limin with a sudden thought.
Li Limin walked silently towards the seat, and Zhang Guodong sensed a mystical power enveloping him. Not only that, Zhang Guodong himself felt a moment of profound confusion, then felt a flick to the head, the sensation receding and dissipating. His mind felt a slight, sharp pain, as if he'd been hit.
I was utterly horrified!
Seeing Li Limin skillfully pull out a dagger in a daze, then cut his finger and drip blood onto the four grooves of the seat, Wang Chengzhou's eyes lit up.
"Just as I thought! Is this how bloodline verification is done?"
A hint of envy flashed in the eyes of Xu Ming, Lin Hongwu, Xiao Ruonan, and Zheng Haixing. In their view, bloodline verification must offer some kind of benefit.
It is equivalent to the status of the first person in each family.
That is indeed the case.
Xu Wenbo's second-generation bloodline verification has been successful. His physical attributes have been initially modified, making him five times stronger than before! Furthermore, a trace of his aura has been retained, enhancing his body's ability to sense plants. This is a rare instinct that will prove invaluable later on!
It can be said that the five people who have verified their bloodline will have an advantage over everyone else present in finding better opportunities!
However, this place is currently sealed off, and they cannot currently detect the plant scents from the forest. Even the improvement in their physical abilities alone is something to be envied.
Everyone held their breath and stared at Li Limin.
After a long while, Li Limin plopped down in his seat, opened his eyes, and looked radiant.
Even a fool could see that this drop of blood, used to verify bloodline, was no ordinary test.
Wang Chengzhou asked nervously, "Limin, has it been verified?"
This is the most important thing!
"Second Uncle, it passed!" Li Limin said excitedly. "However, I won't be able to get up for a while."
"Alright, alright, we'll all wait!" Wang Chengzhou said happily. Since he had no hope of this good fortune, it was fine if the Li family's descendants received it. Building a good relationship with this nephew Li Limin was more important than anything else. He seemed to anticipate that the entire Li family would be thrown into turmoil because of this.
"I never expected Li Limin to be so well hidden. This time, two members of the third generation actually came. Which family does Li Limin belong to?" Lin Hongwu's eyes flickered as he looked curiously at Li Limin sitting in the seat with the character "Li" on it.
It's impossible not to be jealous.
The one who can sit in that position is very likely to be the third generation of Fengdi!
Xu Ming, Xiao Ruonan, and Zheng Haixing also had very complicated feelings.
Time passes by minute by minute, but for some people it feels like years.
Li Limin finally stood up from his seat, his face beaming with excitement as the transformation was complete!
"Second Uncle, it's done!"
Wang Chengzhou didn't know what had happened to his nephew, but he sensed a significant difference and nodded with satisfaction.
"Brother Xu, Brother Xiao, Brother Lin, Brother Zheng, now that everyone is ready, shall we open the seal now?" Concubine Chengzhou said to the four of them.
The four exchanged a glance, all feeling excited. The seal was about to be broken; perhaps a true opportunity was about to arrive? What kind of opportunity would lie beyond the seal?
"I have no objection. You can open it whenever you want," Zheng Laosan said first.
"How about we rest for half a day before opening it? We've all traveled a long way and are exhausted. If we encounter any danger, we'll be better able to deal with it if we're in good shape!" Xu Wenbo said after thinking for a moment.
Everyone agreed that the suggestion made sense.
Let's all take a half-day break.
The green moon in the sky had only sunk halfway down, and time seemed to stretch much longer here than outside. After half a day, everyone's energy and stamina were at their peak.
Xu Wenbo, Xiao Tang, Lin Xian, Zheng Laosan, and Li Limin stood in front of the seal, each holding a dagger, while the others stood behind them, waiting for this exciting moment.
With a "whoosh," Xu Wenbo cut his finger first, sprinkling a few drops of blood onto the seal before him. The seal rippled instantly, as if responding to the crowd.
This bloodline seal truly requires the bloodlines of the five surnames to be broken!
When Xiao Tang was the second to act, the seal trembled even more violently! When the blood of Lin Xian, Zheng Laosan, and Li Limin spilled onto the seal, it began to change drastically, growing thinner and thinner until finally disappearing like water!
"The seal has been broken!" the crowd cheered!
With the seal broken, the scenery before them changed drastically. The towering trees that once stood there were gone, replaced by a vast green wasteland! This wasteland seemed boundless and filled with an ancient aura.
Just then, a green and white light streaked across the sky at an absurdly fast speed, bringing with it waves of oppressive power. The closer it got, the greater the oppressive power became. The people on the ground could not withstand it at all, and their legs went weak, causing them to kneel down with a thud.
"Oh my god, what is this?"
Even Xu Wenbo and the others were forced to kneel down. However, they felt a sense of warmth and familiarity from the aura behind the oppressive force.
"They're here! They're here!"
"Not good!" The oppressive force arrived incredibly quickly. Of everyone present, only Zhang Guodong withstood the immense pressure. Only after everyone else succumbed and knelt down did he realize how different he was, collapsing to the ground with a thud. He felt horrified!
The green and white light reached above them in the blink of an eye, followed by a surprised exclamation. Zhang Guodong felt as if he had been seen through. He only breathed a sigh of relief after the other person's gaze left.
"We almost got exposed!"
In Zhang Guodong's perception, atop a green and white cloud, a stunningly beautiful young woman looked down upon the crowd. She was as pure as a snow lotus, as beautiful as a celestial being; her natural aura was captivating. Yet, she remained completely silent and unsmiling!
"Have the descendants of the Xiao, Xu, Lin, Zheng, and Li clans all arrived?" The woman's voice, high and mighty, coldly reached everyone's ears, startling them and bringing them back to their senses.
"Very good! Before entering the wasteland, I would like to remind everyone that everyone who enters here will have a chance to obtain a demon seed! The five bloodline inheritors will have the additional reward of a king-level demon seed."
"May I ask, Ancestor, what is a demon seed? And what are its ranks?" Xu Wenbo asked, suppressing his excitement. The woman didn't even flinch at his immediate address of "Ancestor," accepting the question calmly.
