Chapter 1992
1992 What a Venomous Tongue!
This was so the Holy Lady could not help the lifeform to trade plant-type feys with the Sacred Wood bloodline for Creation Master resources from the factions.
Thirdly, Lin Yuan could stir trouble using the spirit springs.
Lin Yuan just happened to have the fish-species carcinoma fey he got from the Yi family’s treasure vault that was called the Bloodline-Cutting Black Carp.
The Bloodline-Cutting Black Carp’s entire body was black, and it looked no different from a regular river fish. Even an experienced fisherman might not be able to tell the difference between the two.
The Bloodline-Cutting Black Carp was an enormous disaster to feys with bloodline power in their bodies because it was attracted to bloodline power and would absorb it from the bodies of other feys to evolve and mutate itself.
The Bloodline-Cutting Black Carp was actually not like insect-species carcinoma feys that were a threat to the safety of humans.
But whenever the Bloodline-Cutting Black Carp appeared in a large lake or river, it would become difficult for Creation Master to find rare feys with bloodline power there again.
Human spirit qi professionals needed to contract feys to become stronger, but the Bloodline-Cutting Black Carp cut into the benefits of spirit qi professionals who were affiliated with water-type fish-species feys.
This was why the Spirit Guards had no choice but to a.s.sign the lowest grade of carcinoma feys to the Bloodline-Cutting Black Carp, F-grade.
Once the Bloodline-Cutting Black Carp absorbed enough bloodline power, it would be able to rely on itself to reach Fantasy Breed and eventually Myth Breed.
Lin Yuan felt that he just needed to toss the Bloodline-Cutting Black Carp into any spirit spring so it could start to absorb bloodline power freely. The lifeform in the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm could not hide even if it wanted to!
Just as Lin Yuan was about to split up from Ding Chengshuo so they could search for spirit springs individually, he heard a mocking voice say, “Hey! Ding Chengshuo! I didn’t expect you to still have a seat on the council this year! You managed to grow even though you’ve only been developing amongst tumbleweeds for so many years!
“But this time, no matter what interesting thing you find, you have to let Second Master Su take a look first! The Yu family is not around to protect you this time! Even if the Yu family is here, they won’t be able to protect you while Second Master is here!”
Ding Chengshuo immediately frowned and looked in the direction of the voice.
This was when he saw a short middle-aged man with extremely nefarious features looking at him with derision and resentment.
This man happened to be part of the Su family’s group.
The Su family had nine seats on the council and a total of 18 people on their team.
Since the Yang family had not arrived, they had the largest group out of the factions that had entered the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm.
Ding Chengshuo was well-acquainted with the short man with nefarious features.
He had his share of suffering at the hands of Meng Xiu over the years.
Once Ding Chengshuo detached himself from the Yu family, he wanted to build his own Creation Master family in the central region. However, he was eventually forced out to the remote region because of Meng Xiu.
The root of the matter was that when Ding Chengshuo entered the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm for the first time, he had fought over a plant-type fey with the Sacred Wood bloodline with Meng Xiu and won.
Meng Xiu had hated Ding Chengshuo ever since. Whenever he had the opportunity, he would make life difficult for Ding Chengshuo.
It was difficult for Ding Chengshuo to understand how someone could be so petty.
Previously, the Yu family had helped to defend him because he had been a part of them. Thus, Ding Chengshuo did not have to fear Meng Xiu.
Now, he was traveling with Lin Yuan, who was many times more powerful than the Yu family. As such, there was even less reason for Ding Chengshuo to fear Meng Xiu!
Not only did he not have to fear Meng Xiu, but he did not have to fear the Su family either.
However, Lin Yuan clearly had a goal to achieve in the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm, so Ding Chengshuo did not want to bother Lin Yuan over his trivial personal issue.
Hence, he swallowed Meng Xiu’s jibe.
When Ding Chengshuo did not reply, Meng Xiu continued. “Ding Chengshuo, doesn’t the Ding family have two direct descendants who are worth something? Why didn’t you bring any of them but such a young disciple instead?
“No matter how I look, this person doesn’t resemble the Ding family very much. I thought everyone from the Ding family had single-eyelids like fishes. Why doesn’t this disciple have it? Did the Ding family adopt him from another family?”
Meng Xiu’s words were extremely venomous. It would be difficult for anyone with dignity and a backbone to swallow them without protest.
Ding Chengshuo was no exception.
He immediately saw red when he heard what Meng Xiu said. He itched to summon his feys and duke it out with Meng Xiu.
Not only had Meng Xiu insulted his family’s appearance, but he had even poked fun at his procreative ability.
When the Su family’s juniors heard what Meng Xiu said, they could not help but sn.i.g.g.e.r and look at Ding Chengshuo with derision.
The Su family was one of the three largest families in the Divine Wood Federation.
The family’s older generation had experienced their share of conflicts and no longer bared their fangs so easily.
However, the Su family’s juniors were at their most prideful and looked down on someone like Ding Chengshuo, who was the City Lord of a remote city.
Although Ding Chengshuo was a Cla.s.s 4 Creation Master, he was still undeserving of respect in the eyes of the Su family’s juniors.
At that moment, a pleasant voice said, “Does everyone from the Meng family have such a venomous tongue? Are you all actually born from snakes? I wonder if the Meng family has awakened their beast pattern?”
This seemed like a regular counter to Meng Xiu’s hateful words, but it was a knife driven straight through Meng Xiu’s heart.
The most shameful part of the Meng family’s history was that one of their daughters had run off from her engagement with a snake-species fey in human form.
When the head of the Meng family caught them and killed the snake-species fey, he discovered that not only had she given birth to a child, but that the child had also awakened his beast pattern.
The beast pattern was not the specialty of the Azure Federation, but it was the reason that boosted the Azure Federation to become one of the three major federations.
Not every child of a fey and human could awaken their beast pattern.
But once the child of a fey and human who had awakened their beast pattern contracted the fey that corresponded to their beast pattern, they were guaranteed to be able to reach thearch-cla.s.s.
This was the only thought that existed in the head of every Meng member’s mind besides hatred.
The Meng family previously did not have any thearch-cla.s.s experts, so gaining one was of utmost importance to them.
With a thearch-cla.s.s expert, they would be able to move up from their position as one of the Divine Wood Federation’s mid-ranked factions to one of the upper ranks.
