519: You Can Try

From his vantage point, Juntian couldn’t see how Feng Wu did it, but everyone else knew she had opened her dimensional space ring.

TianXing was shocked. The medicine she used to drug them wasn’t any ordinary mixture, it was a special formulation the Blood clan used to deal with humans specifically. Once consumed, a person’s internal magic and martial qi were sealed for seven days.

There were places in the human world where internal magic and martial qi were forbidden. Anyone stepping into such a place would have their energy sealed and become ordinary people. Few medicine could create the same effect; almost all of which had been destroyed during the Great War in ancient times.

The few remaining were treasured items.

The precious few the Blood clan had would not have been used under normal circumstances. The ones they had could not be used as an aerosol but had to be ingested to work. This was a troublesome because someone from the Blood clan had to get close enough to the intended target and mix it into their food. What were the odds of that happening? This made the drug impractical and essentially useless.

This changed in recent years when TianXing became a member of the Blood clan. With her help lacing the drug, they were able to kill all four elders and TianXing’s own master. Everyone had been disposed of with the exception of her one senior brother.

The once impractical drug was proving useful once again with the capture of Tianhang and his family.

It was an incredibly potent and effective drug that was impossible to neutralize in under seven days. So then how was Feng Wu able to use her internal qi to access her storage ring?

Feng TianXing couldn’t figure it out. She had tried the medicine to test its efficacy and knew firsthand how well it worked. There were absolutely no issues with the medicine itself!

“You can still use martial qi?!” Nicolas was just as surprised as TianXing. It was his first time seeing someone neutralize the effects of the medicine. He knew better than anyone how effective the it was.

“Why wouldn’t I?” Feng Wu was confused by their reaction. She had always been able to use the internal qi in her body. And with purifying treasures like Xiao Chun and Pure Flame residing in her dantian, poisons were virtually ineffective against her.

It was only because Xiao Chun was in the middle of advancing to the next stage that the drug had any effect earlier.

Pure Flame was temperamental and generally didn’t interfere with Feng Wu unless it was life threatening, so it wasn’t until Feng Wu fell into a coma that the flame removed the toxins from Feng Wu’s body.

TianXing hadn’t bothered checking the drug was still working because of her overconfidence in the drug.

“Interesting. So unexpected to find such a rare human in the human race. If my daughter did not need your blood to become the next blood emperor, I would keep you alive for further study.”

Nicolas attributed the medicine’s lack of impact on Feng Wu to her unique constitution.

“Xiao Wu, you hid such an ability from Auntie. Auntie is so surprised.”[notes] TianXing walked back over to Nicolas still with a smile on her face, but it didn’t quite reach her eyes.

Feng Wu turned away and ignored TianXing. Her aunt had become a bad person and therefore acceptable to ignore.

The slight didn’t bother TianXing in the least; she just kept looking at Feng Wu. In a threatening voice she said, “Xiao Wu, you can think about it. If you hand over Xiao Ye, Auntie will let the three of you leave. If not, none of you will leave Blood Moon forest.”

TianXing didn’t take Feng Wu seriously, because although Feng Wu could use internal qi, she was still just a little second year. There was no threat there. The only reason Feng Wu was even a consideration at all was as medicine for her daughter.

It was just like that day with Feng Ting.[notes] She and Yanran attacked and overpowered Feng Ting without any difficulties. The girl was so weak. She hadn’t taken Feng Ting seriously back then and she wouldn’t take Feng Wu seriously now.

They were just two little girls. Nothing to be concerned about.

Tianhang and Juntian were the only ones TianXing was worried about, but since both of them had their abilities sealed, they weren't going to give her any trouble.

“No.” Feng Wu bit her lip and spoke out clearly.

These bad guys were still trying to eat Xiao Ye. Feng Wu clenched her fists, prepared to hit them if they tried.

“It seems that Xiao Wu wants Auntie to take Xiao Ye herself.” TianXing broke out in a smile. Every single one of her fingernails shone coldly.

“I’m not afraid of you.” Feng Wu declared; her face was very serious.

“Xiao Wu!”

There wasn’t much Tianhang and Juntian could do with their abilities sealed, but it didn’t stop them from worrying.

They were in blood territory and surrounded by over ten thousand blood clan members. Even if they fully recovered their abilities, they weren’t sure they could make it out safely. Odds were high they would get eaten before they could find their way out.

Even with Xiao Wu being able to use her internal qi, their odds of escape were still dismally low.

Faced with such a desperate situation, father and son exchanged a look. They would buy time and use whatever life they had in order to give Feng Wu a chance. Whether or not she could escape would depend on her luck.

“As expected of a girl from Feng house. It’s only a shame you have no manners. Let this elder Auntie teach a few to you.” TianXing moved closer to Feng Wu one step at a time.

Nicolas watched her from the side, his eyes filled with affection.

Yanran and Aubre were afraid but they weren’t going to interfere.

Aubre knew Yanran needed their blood to live, so he had no choice but to be blind to what was going to happen. He looked away and pretended not to see anything.

His family had arranged a marriage to a girl from another aristocratic family, one he did not like, all without his permission or input. Since then his feelings had considerably cooled toward his own family. Now that he met a girl he genuinely loved, there was no way he was going to let her go.

For her part, Yanran was actually really nervous. Her uncle and his family had been really kind to her. But in order for her to live, she needed to balance the purity of the blood in her body. The only way to do that was to drink all their blood.

Her father told her the purity in her bloodline was incredibly rare. As long as she could reach an equilibrium between the two bloodlines in her body, she would gain the formidable power of the blood race and the unlimited potential of the human race.

So even though she felt sorry for her uncle and his family, in order to survive, she had no choice. She hoped they could go in peace knowing the Feng family line would continue. One of her children, once she had children, would inherit the Feng family blood.

Uncle Feng, Brother Juntian, Cousin Feng Wu. . . I’m sorry, but I want to live.

The words in Yanran’s heart were sad but her eyes, when she looked at Feng Wu, were fierce and full of fire. She was thinking about Feng Ye.

She knew Feng Ye was always around Feng Wu. From the first moment she laid eyes on him, she knew he was special. She’d never seen a child with so much pure power before. If she just devour his blood, she knew she would gain immense power, more power than devouring all the blood from everyone in Feng house.

“Feng TianXing, I never expected Feng Yanran was the evil offspring between you and a blood clan. Mother did not mistake, you are our family’s star of misfortune.” TianJiao stepped into the room holding a long sword. Behind her were Jier, Tian Ya and Ming Xi.

Ming Xi and Jier were immediately relieved to see Feng Wu uninjured.

“Xiao Wu!” Ming Xi rushed to her side and worriedly checked her for injuries.

Jier went over to help Tianhang up. Upon seeing the older man was injured, he took out a higher quality healing potion and offered it.

“TianJiao, you’re so courageous. To dare bring the future emperor of the Ancient Silver Moon kingdom here, I really must thank you for this gift. I couldn’t touch him in the human camp, but now that he’s here in blood territory, even if he will be one the four emperors of the human race, he won’t leave here alive.”

TianXing believed it would be beneficial for Yanran to drink Ming Xi. As a descendant of one of the four emperors, he would have the blood of gods.

TianXing didn’t give a thought to the ramifications to killing of the four emperors.

“I wouldn’t even think of escaping. Feng TianXing, you colluded with the Blood clan to murder your own house. This is an unforgiveable crime. We have the right to kill you on the spot.” Murderous intent flashed in Ming Xi’s eyes. It was rare for him to want to kill anyone but TianXing was one of the few he really wanted to kill.

“Kill me?! Haha! You think you can kill me while we’re in blood territory? I must say Your Highness, being praised so much by people has gone to your head.

There are tens of thousands of blood people here. They will rush in to kill you the moment I give the order. How can you possibly kill me?” TianXing laughed at Ming Xi’s ridiculous statement. There was even a hint of playfulness in her smile.

Nicolas looked at Ming Xi in contempt. Clearly this prince didn’t understand the situation. To speak such grand words from such a disadvantageous position was nothing short of stupid. It seemed the future emperor of the Ancient Silver Moon kingdom wasn’t very smart.

“Why don’t we see if I can or can’t?” was all Ming Xi would say.

TianJiao stepped farther in and said, “Your Highness, you can not take this from me. Feng TianXing’s life is mine. I have sworn to kill her since the day my mother died.”
