"Until that decisive battle determining the destiny of the two races, when the two peoples clashed, the slaughter made bloodlines boil, and the Demon Clan activated the secret technique."

"In an instant, those who cultivated bloodline power were summoned. The more they surpassed the ancestral limits and regressed, the more they were bewitched, and under that secret technique, many even transformed into forms indistinguishable from the Demon Clan."

"Moreover, under the secret technique, these people were utterly uncontrollable, their bodies completely manipulated by bloodline power, and they began to fiercely counterattack the Ancestor Dragon army."

"Meanwhile, it was the same in the rear at Ancestor Dragon City. Countless cultivators of bloodline power became uncontrollable, seemingly transforming into demon beasts, wreaking havoc and destruction. What was initially a victorious situation was overturned in an instant."

"Not until then did the Demon Clan's millennia-long scheme surface. Humanity suffered a disastrous defeat. If not for our Ancestor Dragon City also being filled with strong individuals at the time, and the most powerful Holy Beast bloodline, which remained unaffected due to the Holy Beasts' neutrality, the strongest group stabilized the situation and repelled the Demon Clan's counterattack. In that battle, our Ancestor Dragon City would have faced extinction."

As Bai Yi slowly recounted, Zheng Changge and Zeng Jingtian both gasped, realizing that the Demon Clan's scheme was so deep and terrifying to even think about.

"No wonder Ancestor Dragon City has banned the path of bloodlines, forbidding anyone from cultivating it, to prevent history from repeating itself, right?"

Zheng Changge said.

Bai Yi nodded: "Yes, exactly."

"It's said that the Ten Demon Hall, which sided with the Demon Alliance, consists of a group of rebels. Could they be the people who cultivated bloodline power back then?"

"Yes, after that great defeat, the entire Ancestor Dragon City was in a state of panic, especially with many people dying tragically inside the city and the battlefield betrayals. So, when suppression took place, there was inevitably some ruthlessness."

"In the end, some were killed, but a few managed to escape. These people eventually founded the Ten Demon Hall, becoming lackeys of the Demon Alliance."

"And this Li Feng?"

Zheng Changge cast a hostile glance outside at Li Feng, who seemed undying like a cockroach and was even starting to turn the situation around, pounding Feng Guang.

Bai Yi shook his head slightly: "The Vermilion Bird bloodline is not among the taboos, nor is any Holy Beast bloodline, because the Holy Beasts are not related to the Demon Alliance and have always been friendly with our Ancestor Dragon City, so they cannot be touched."

"If Li Feng had fused with some other bloodline, he would have been crushed long ago, but he awakened the Vermilion Bird bloodline, so we can't use that as a reason to kill him."

"However, I didn't expect this guy not only awakened the Vermilion Bird bloodline but also broke the bloodline limits and gained the Vermilion Bird Undying Body such a talent."

Bai Yi spoke with gritted teeth. The Vermilion Bird Undying Body is a talent of the Holy Beast Vermilion Bird. Legend has it that the Vermilion Bird is undying; even if slain, it can be reborn from flames, even becoming stronger after resurrection.

Setting aside the envy caused by the Vermilion Bird bloodline, breaking the bloodline limits and gaining this extraordinary talent would likely make even the Sikong family envious.

"Does this mean he can't be killed?"

Zheng Changge said with a grim look.

Bai Yi shook his head and said, "The Vermilion Bird Undying Body doesn't mean he can't be killed, but if you don't have crushing power, it's almost impossible to kill him unless the Golden Core Pinnacle or even Nascent Soul ancestors act to completely obliterate the opponent."

"However, after breaking the bloodline limits, the concentration of bloodline within Li Feng is enough to establish a connection with the Holy Beast Vermilion Bird. Without a reason, forcibly acting against Li Feng might incur the Vermilion Bird's hostility."

"Even the Eight Families are unlikely to risk universal condemnation to do such a thing."

"So does this mean Li Feng can't be killed?"

Zheng Changge was visibly upset because if Li Feng survives, he is sure to rise high in the future.

"Yi Shao, is there really no way?"

"We've reached this point, and Li Feng cannot be left alive." Zeng Jingtian said through gritted teeth. Previously, Zeng Jingtian didn't take Li Feng seriously, even if he embarrassed the Zeng Family, Li Feng had no backing or power, so his personal strength didn't matter much.

Had it not been for the young master of the Ji Family's intervention, Li Feng might not have left alive.

Bai Yi squinted at Zeng Jingtian. He and Zheng Changge were behind the scenes and had not shown themselves, but the Zeng Family had always been the vanguard in trying to kill Li Feng. With Li Feng's rise, the Zeng Family would be the first to fall.

"Li Feng cannot be allowed to live."

"This time, your Zeng Family should be prepared as well. Have the Eight Families exhaust all efforts, and with your Zeng Family giving everything, although Li Feng broke the bloodline limit and gained the Vermilion Bird Undying Body, he doesn't seem to be able to control this power."

"And although the Vermilion Bird Undying Body claims to be undying, it doesn't mean unlimited recovery. If you strike him hard enough and he suffers continuous heavy injuries, when the feedback from the bloodline power runs out, that will be his end."

"Or rather, now is the last chance to kill him. Otherwise, once he digests the bloodline feedback power, he will surely rise to another level."

"You should know that the reason the bloodline path was so popular back then was because, as long as the bloodline improved, it could be infinitely boosted, with no bottleneck to speak of. Breaking the first bloodline limit, he might already rival the Golden Core Middle Stage."

"If he fully digested and controlled this power, even a strike from the Golden Core Late Stage might not kill him."

Bai Yi said through gritted teeth.

"Alright, I'll go make the arrangements." Zeng Jingtian stood up, as the Zeng Family had no retreat now.

"Hmm, go ahead. I'll have the Hidden Guard ready to take action at a critical time." Bai Yi gave Zeng Jingtian another assurance.

"Yes, Yi Shao."

Zeng Jingtian turned and left the room, and after he left, Zheng Changge turned to Bai Yi: "I didn't expect a small fry like Li Feng to be such a hassle."

Bai Yi took a sip of tea.

"Do you think we can recruit Li Feng for our own use?" Bai Yi asked suddenly.

Zheng Changge was taken aback: "Yi Ge, what are you thinking? Didn't you just want to kill Li Feng, why the sudden change of heart?"

Bai Yi replied, "That was before, now is now. Previously, I thought Li Feng was nothing more than a dispensable pawn, far less useful than the Zeng Family. Now that Li Feng has opened the first bloodline limit, killing him may not be so easy."

"With the Eight Families taking action, and the Zeng Family making an effort, even with the Vermilion Bird Undying Body, Li Feng is unlikely to escape death, right?"

Bai Yi chuckled: "That's why I sent Zeng Jingtian to try. If they can eliminate Li Feng, it's simply his fate; if the Zeng Family fails, then the Zeng Family cannot be preserved."

"After all, killing Li Feng is all on the Zeng Family's head, what does it have to do with me?"
