795 Zhao Family's Response
In the Zhao family of Shangyang City, the courtyard built from white jade was intricately arranged. The pavilions were all exquisite and beautiful, like a paradise.
However, at this moment, more than ten elders were sitting in the hall of the Zhao family. They were all of high status in the Zhao family, and had reached the level of half-peak Chaotic lifeforms. They could even be considered to be at the apex of the realm.
Beyond this house, every elder would be an extremely powerful entity.
This was the Zhao family, a 100,000-year-old family. They had once given birth to an invincible Perfected Person, and their foundation was profound, far from what other families could compare to. Hence, even though no one from the Zhao family had ever cultivated to the level of a Chaotic lifeform since the disappearance of their ancestor, they were still the hegemon of Shangyang City!
The current family head, Zhao Chuanxi, was the top genius of the Zhao family when he was young. He had once defeated his peers in several surrounding large families, and become the strongest person among the younger generation!
He was once reputed to be the top genius in the Zhao family, who had the greatest chance of metamorphosing into a Chaotic lifeform. Unfortunately, Zhao Chuanxi still could not metamorphose into a Chaotic lifeform. Nonetheless, he was in charge of the entire Zhao family, wielding great authority with austerity.
"Elders, I summoned you here to discuss a major matter. Not long ago, the Li family of Red Phosphorus City sent news that they were willing to submit to our Zhao family. They also provided us with a clue that a natural Chaotic lifeform, Ao, had appeared in Red Phosphorus City. Hence, I sent Zhao Lin and nine peak half-Chaotic lifeforms there, and had them bring the Exquisite Pagoda to suppress Ao.
"I thought success was almost certain, but today, I received news that a mysterious person called Lin Feng is Ao's master. He destroyed the Zhao family's Exquisite Pagoda, killed nine peak half-Chaotic lifeforms, and captured Zhao Lin alive. What do you think we should do?"
As soon as Zhao Chuanxi finished speaking, all the elders in the hall paled.
"What? Someone actually dared to destroy the Zhao family's Exquisite Pagoda, killed nine peak half-Chaotic lifeforms, and captured Zhao Lin alive. This is unforgivable!"
"We have to send experts to capture this Lin Feng immediately. Otherwise, how can our Zhao family maintain its authority?"
"This is the most serious provocation to our Zhao family! We can't tolerate it!"
"That's right. If this matter isn't handled properly, the prestige of our Zhao family will be lost. I'm afraid some of the factions under our command will also be tempted to act out."
These elders of the Zhao family were used to being high and mighty. With the Zhao family's power and influence, how could they be wary of anyone? For example, Ao, a natural Chaotic lifeform, was something that could be captured at will to them. This was because the Zhao family had such strength.
The Zhao family did not have to fear Chaotic dire beasts that were natural Chaotic lifeforms at all. However, things seemed a little different this time.
Zhao Chuanxi pondered for a moment and said, "Elders, I've already investigated Lin Feng in the Red Phosphorus City as soon as I received the news. He likely isn't a cultivator from the Incendium Continent, but a cultivator who travels the Chaos."
"A cultivator in the Chaos?"
"But so what? Is our Zhao family afraid of a mere cultivator in the Chaos?"
"That's right. The ascetics in the Chaos are all very powerful, but while others may fear them, our Zhao family does not!"
This identity of a cultivator in the Chaos was already shocking enough. Even many small families with long histories and deep foundations absolutely did not dare to offend a cultivator traveling in the Chaos.
However, the Zhao family was different. The Zhao family was a 100,000-year-old family. Its foundation was unimaginable to other families.
"After analysis, this Lin Feng is probably not just a traveler in the Chaos. He is also very powerful. There is more than a 60% chance that he is a true Chaotic lifeform!"
Boom.
As soon as Zhao Chuanxi finished speaking, the hall fell silent. The elders, who had been arguing and looking flustered just now, fell silent. The entire hall fell into dead silence.
If a Chaotic lifeform was a cultivator, they would be a Perfected Person, a Revered Person! No matter how they were addressed, it could not change the fact that a cultivator who was a Chaotic lifeform was above all half-Chaotic lifeforms.
In the Incendium Continent, a Perfected Person was capable of establishing a 10,000-year-old aristocratic family and dominating a region. Even claiming respectable titles or becoming ancestors was nothing out of the ordinary.
It was also because a Perfected Person had once appeared in the Zhao family that it quickly rose to power, becoming the current 100,000-year-old family that dominated the entire Shangyang City.
Bang.
One of the elders smashed his walking stick on the ground with a sharp sound.
"What? You are scared of a fellow who just seems to be a Perfected Person from nowhere? Truly ridiculous. Others might be ignorant, but do you not know the Zhao family's foundation? Hmph, it's one thing for that person to travel the Chaos, but does he think he can do whatever he wants in the Incendium Continent just because he's a Chaotic lifeform? That's truly absurd!"
Although the elder who spoke was old and frail, his entire aura was extremely imposing, like a sharp blade. No one dared to underestimate him.
"Thirteenth Elder, we all know that Zhao Lin is your son, but you can't ignore the interests of our Zhao family. Do you know the consequences of making an enemy out of someone who's suspected to be a Perfected Person and Chaotic lifeform?"
"That's right, Thirteenth Elder. You don't even take a Perfected Person seriously now? Why don't you personally bring men over to save Zhao Lin?"
"Fine, I'll go. As long as Patriarch can give me 800 Qilin Guards, I'll definitely be able to kill that Lin Feng and capture Ao alive!"
Wherever there were people, there would be conflict, let alone in the Zhao family, which was a 100,000-year-old family. It was impossible for them to be united internally, and there were all kinds of conflicts. It was already commonplace for these elders to be at odds.
"All right, everyone, there's no need to argue anymore. Everything is for the Zhao family! This Lin Feng is very likely a Perfected Person who's a Chaotic lifeform. If that's the case, it's indeed very troublesome. However, our Zhao family has 800 Qilin Guards. If we mobilize 800 Qilin Guards, even if the other party is a Perfected Person, we can definitely kill him. But the key is, is it worth it?"
Zhao Chuanxi's expression was very calm. The 800 Qilin Guards of the Zhao family were the reason!
These 800 Qilin Guards were the foundation of the Zhao family. All of them were half-Chaotic lifeforms, though they were all half-Chaotic lifeforms that had been forcefully enhanced through special methods, and were slightly inferior to ordinary half-Chaotic lifeform cultivators.
However, they did not need to cultivate any martial arts or spells. They would only cultivate the Minor Dipper Demon Subduing Array imparted by the Zhao family!
The Minor Dipper Demon Subduing Array was imparted by the ancestor of the Zhao family back then. Others might not know, but Zhao Chuanxi knew the truth very well. The ancestor of the Zhao family was not an ordinary Perfected Person, but an advanced Chaotic lifeform. He was countless times stronger than those ordinary Perfected Persons.
This Minor Dipper Demon Subduing Array was imparted by that Perfected Person in the Zhao family. The array would be at its best when formed by 3,600 half-Chaotic cultivators, and could even contend with advanced Chaotic lifeforms!
Unfortunately, even with the Zhao family's foundation, forcefully producing 800 half-Chaotic lifeforms was already their limit. Even the Zhao family could not afford any more.
However, the Minor Dipper Demon Subduing Array formed by 800 half-Chaotic lifeforms was also enough to kill ordinary Perfected Persons. This was also the strongest trump card the Zhao family relied on to dominate Shangyang City in the past 100,000 years, and extended their sphere of influence for thousands of kilometers in radius!
"The 800 Qilin Guards must not be mobilized lightly." An elder objected.
After all, the 800 Qilin Guards were the Zhao family's trump card. They were their greatest reliance, and also their strongest method of deterring the forces of the various surrounding factions. How could they be used at will?
That was, unless there was a huge profit in it for the Zhao family.
"Heh, is one Ao enough? That's a natural Chaotic lifeform. If we get this natural Chaotic lifeform, and the Zhao family nurtures it carefully, it will be another trump card of our Zhao family! Moreover, Lin Feng can travel the Chaos. How can he be ordinary? Think of all the good things we obtain by killing him."
The Thirteenth Elder was determined to mobilize the Qilin Guards to kill Lin Feng.
The many elders also entered a discussion. Indeed, this was an opportunity, but there were also some dangers. Ao was a natural Chaotic lifeform. Once it was subdued by them, it was obvious how beneficial it would be to the Zhao family.
After a long while, it was still the patriarch, Zhao Chuanxi, who said, "Elders, I'm more inclined to accept the Thirteenth Elder's suggestion. Everyone is just worried that an accident will happen if we mobilize the Qilin Guards. It's actually very simple. I'll let Zhao Chuanlong lead the 800 Qilin Guards. What do you think?"
"Zhao Chuanlong? If the patriarch is willing to deploy Zhao Chuanlong, I have no objections."
"That's right. If Zhao Chuanlong is willing to go, I can rest assured."
A smile appeared on Zhao Chuanxi's lips. He said indifferently, "I've already asked Zhao Chuanlong's opinion. Zhao Chuanlong is very excited to be able to lead 800 Qilin Guards to surround and kill a cultivator suspected to be a Perfected Person. He's also willing to go!"
"Haha, if Zhao Chuanlong goes, this matter will be more than halfway done!"
"That's right. Zhao Chuanlong is the strongest person in our Zhao family. He's already at the critical point of metamorphosis, and needs a fierce battle to help him undergo metamorphosis. This Lin Feng is the most suitable person."
"Perhaps after this battle, our Zhao family can have another true Perfected Person, who will lead our Zhao family to prosperity!"
The elders all nodded in agreement. They were clearly very confident in Zhao Chuanlong.
"All right, it's settled then!"
Zhao Chuanxi immediately made the decision. As the patriarch, he conveyed the order to Zhao Chuanlong. Moreover, he personally assigned the 800 Qilin Guards under Zhao Chuanlong's command, before they headed to Red Phosphorus City!
