Chapter 1038: Sowing Discord Among the Seven Tribes

"Hehe, how amusing. In that case, when we later deal with the ancient tribe, wouldn't we only need to capture Xiao Yan, and then Gu Xun'er would obediently follow our demands?"

Watching Gu Xun'er on the field, Hun Kai thought to himself.

At the same time, the other major families were secretly smirking inwardly.

Originally, the ancient tribe produced a genius of divine‑grade bloodline, and they were still worried about it.

Now it's fine; that genius on the other side is a total lapdog, and will definitely leave the ancient tribe and unite with Xiao Yan.

When that time comes, even if Gu Xun'er possesses the ancient tribe's divine‑grade bloodline, after uniting with Xiao Yan, whose Dou Emperor bloodline is depleted, any child they bear will certainly not have a particularly high lineage.

However, compared with those relaxed ancient races, the other guests from non‑bloodline factions appear much quieter.

After all, they are weaker and lack the boldness of the other Dou Emperor families to speak up.

"I can accept your challenge invitation, but the items you presented are clearly inferior to my exotic fires. So, if you agree to this duel, a draw or a slight win for you, and your injuries are not more than ten percent better than mine, I will consider it my victory. How does that sound?"

Thinking of the things his wives Xian Er and Cai Lin need, as well as the ninth‑rank demon beast's core and essence blood, Lin Feng, after pondering, immediately added another condition.

Hearing this, the Hao Yan beside him immediately tugged at the other's sleeve and whispered, "You brat, why are you so impulsive this time? If you don't accept the other side, she won't be able to do anything to you for a while."

"Continuously hiding like this isn't a solution. Moreover, some things always require someone to act."

Regarding Hao Yan's attempt to stop him, Lin Feng shook his head, then calmly gazed toward Gu Xun'er in the distance.

"Well, alright then."

Hearing this, the ancient dragon clan strongman let out a heavy sigh and fell silent.

And as soon as the latter finished speaking, everyone present instantly perked up, each watching the scene with keen interest.

After all, from Lin Feng's tone, it seemed he was about to accept Gu Xun'er's challenge!

And these people also wanted to see just how powerful Lin Feng, the first genius of Central Continent who rose from the bottom, truly is.

Or whether Gu Xun'er, who comes from today's top power on the Dou Qi Continent and is also the ancient tribe's first genius of the Dou Emperor family, is even more formidable!

However, unlike the other spectators, the representatives from the five clans of Soul, Flame, Thunder, Yao, and Stone...

... are more eager to see just how strong Gu Xun'er, the ancient tribe's first genius, truly is.

After all, although the seven ancient tribes often unite against other non‑bloodline forces, their internal conflicts are equally fierce.

Whenever a tribe becomes powerful, the other major families will certainly devise ways to set obstacles.

When Gu Xun'er heard the conditions Lin Feng proposed, she immediately fell into contemplation.

After all, Lin Feng is not weak, and this condition clearly does not align with her interests.

Therefore, she was naturally a bit hesitant.

And as the others heard Lin Feng's offered terms, almost simultaneously they turned their gaze to Gu Xun'er, awaiting her answer.

As for the ancient tribe elders present, hearing the dialogue between Gu Xun'er and Lin Feng, they all furrowed their brows and watched the scene.

Regarding Gu Xun'er offering so many precious items to gamble with Lin Feng, they felt a slight displeasure.

But considering these belong to their clan leader, they have no right to intervene, so everyone remained silent.

After all, if they used their own belongings for other purposes, they likewise would not want others meddling.

"Fine, I accept. We'll do as you say. In this duel, if I win, I take all your exotic fires; if I lose, I'll give you the complete body of the ninth‑rank heavenly poison scorpion dragon beast I promised earlier, plus a ninth‑rank fire‑attribute demon core and an eight‑color primal stone."

"And during the duel, if it's a draw or I win but my injuries are not more than ten percent better than yours, it will still count as your victory, with the items unchanged!"

After pondering for a moment, Gu Xun'er immediately nodded and accepted the latter's terms.

After all, she didn't think she would truly lose to the Lin Feng before her.

Gu Qingyang's earlier loss was simply because he didn't understand the opponent's physique, which had cultivated to that level, and was also sabotaged by Lin Feng midway.

Now, she already knows his tricks and most of his combat techniques.

She refuses to believe that, in this situation, she, equipped with numerous top‑tier ancient tribe methods, would lose to him!

"Jie Jie, this is interesting. I actually want to see which of Lin Feng and Gu Xun'er is stronger."

Seeing both sides reach an agreement, the other ancient families instantly looked at the arena with smiles, their faces entirely relaxed.

Lin Feng and Gu Xun'er fighting to the point of bloodied heads is the scene he most wishes to see.

Ideally, if the two could perish together in this duel, that would best serve his interests.

After all, whether it's Lin Feng, the non‑bloodline genius, or Gu Xun'er, the ancient tribe's divine‑grade bloodline genius, they are people they'd rather not see; it would be best if they both died, hehe.

"Whoa!"

When the others heard that the two were truly about to duel, a sudden uproar erupted throughout the arena.

Soon after, some whispered, "Lin Feng actually risks a duel over some items with Gu Xun'er—he's doomed. Can't that guy see that Gu Xun'er is targeting him?"

"Damn, that's a complete ninth‑rank heavenly poison scorpion dragon beast, plus a ninth‑rank fire‑attribute demon core and an eight‑color primal stone. They've sold us, we can't even get such top‑grade items. If it were given to me, I'd rush right now and go lick Gu Xun'er!"

"And it's the kind where I can lick any part!"

However, as soon as the former finished speaking, a young man beside him meekly said, "Grandpa, you're old; if there's a chance, maybe you should let me handle this."

"Bang!"

As soon as the former finished speaking, the young man's back of the head was struck hard.

"You brat, even if I wanted to lick, it wouldn't be right; you damn well stay quiet. No need to scream, just let me watch in peace!"

As he spoke, the old man wore a face full of resentment, like iron that failed to become steel.

However, his earlier words already revealed his nature; the young man, no matter what the other said, kept cursing him inwardly.

Meanwhile, as those around continued their heated discussion, Lin Feng suddenly stood up.

"Lin Feng, be careful."

Seeing the former stand, the Hao Yan beside him immediately reminded him.

He also knew that this time he couldn't dissuade the kid.

"Hmm."

Hearing that, Lin Feng gave a slight nod, then with a swift motion, he suddenly appeared not far opposite Gu Xun'er.

"Since you both have agreed, I, the old man, will respect your opinion. For this contest, stop when you reach the limit; begin."

As soon as the words fell, he stepped aside and retreated.

Having learned from the previous experience, as he left he immediately waved his palm, forming a transparent semicircular spatial shield.

This shield, though made casually by the former, was many times stronger—by an unknown factor—than the spatial shield used when Xiao Yan and the ancient demon contested.

"Lin Feng, you repeatedly bullied brother Xiao Yan, were malicious, refused to give him the exotic flame, causing his battle Qi to stagnate, and he was injured by the ancient demon in the recent contest. This time, I, Gu Xun'er, demand you repay with your life!"

Seeing that everything was ready, Gu Xun'er stopped pretending to be refined; the friendly façade vanished in an instant, and she stared at Lin Feng with a face full of murderous aura.

"???"

Hearing the former's bizarre remarks, Lin Feng's mind was instantly filled with countless question marks.

And the expression on his face seemed to say, "Are you a monkey sent to be a clown?"

After a while, Lin Feng finally managed to regain his composure, then gave a cold sneer toward the extremely beautiful face opposite him and said, "Gu Xun'er, is there something wrong with your brain? Xiao Yan kept coming to trouble me repeatedly, okay?"

"Less than a year ago, he even crossed the line by taking advantage of my wife's absence, using them to lure me over. Such conduct, it's not an exaggeration to say everyone would call for his beating."

Speaking, Lin Feng pointed at the crowd below and continued, "Moreover, the people here are not that weak; they all still remember. In less than a year, you want to call a deer a horse, claiming that because Xiao Yan was away, I tried to capture you and make you a slave, right?"

The audience below, upon seeing this scene, also shouted that it was bizarre.

But considering they were still on Ancient Clan territory, they could only remain silent for the time being.

However, most of those who are not bloodline cultivators have already set their sights on other ancient races.

After all, the first prodigy of the Ancient Clan is so bizarre that there may be no good future ahead.

Better to get along with other ancient races and join their sects.

As for those of the Ancient Clan, compared with the previous people, their faces showed a few more hints of anger.

After all, Gu Xun'er is the daughter of the Chief of the Ancient Clan and the clan's top prodigy.

Now that the other side says that, they are naturally angry.

Not to mention, the vast majority of young people in the Ancient Clan all have that kind of feeling toward Gu Xun'er.

To them, she is a lofty goddess.

Now that their goddess is insulted by an outsider like this, if the setting weren't inappropriate, they would have already gone up to Lin Feng to fight to the death.

Meanwhile, on the stage, Lin Feng continued to keep attacking Gu Xun'er.

"I didn't kill Xiao Yan; such a favor, it's not excessive for him to bow before me a few times. Yet when it comes to your words, it's as if I have been coveting Xiao Yan's exotic flame all along, repeatedly cutting him down. According to your view, all the exotic flames in the world should belong solely to Xiao Yan."

"If others possess exotic flames, that is an unforgivable crime; they must surrender the exotic flames."

At this point, Lin Feng swiftly changed tack and continued, "You haven't even become Chief of the Ancient Clan yet, and you're already snatching my exotic flame. I know the Ancient Clan's inherited exotic flame is the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame; after you become Chief, will the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame still be given to Xiao Yan?"

"Oh, right, the Flame Clan still holds several top‑ranked exotic flames on the rankings. If you become powerful later, will you have to wipe them out and seize their exotic flames for Xiao Yan?"

Having said that, Lin Feng recalled that the Yao Clan also has exotic flames, and provoked further: "I've never seen the Ling Clan, so I'm not sure; the Stone Clan I haven't observed any exotic flames on them. However, the Yao Clan, whose strength is slightly weaker than the Flame Clan, has many alchemists, so they also possess exotic flames."

"Given your temperament, Miss, if you become Chief of the Ancient Clan in the future, I'm afraid the Yao Clan might be completely wiped out. As for the reason, I think it's because they didn't surrender exotic flames to Xiao Yan. After all, in the eyes of this Ancient Clan young lady, the entire Battle Qi continent only has your brother Xiao Yan qualified to possess exotic flames."

"Swish~"

Hearing the former's words, the group from the Yao Clan and the Flame Clan both showed slightly sullen expressions.

Their gazes toward Gu Xun'er also quietly added a hint of wariness.

Although they knew Lin Feng's remarks were not without the intent to sow discord.

But seeing Gu Xun'er's current actions, the future remains truly unpredictable.

Even if the former grows up without exterminating a clan and seizing flames as Lin Feng described.

But the possibility of using other means to forcibly compel them to hand over exotic flames is extremely high!

As for the Ancient Clan Elders, upon hearing Lin Feng's words, their expressions also grew a hint of ominousness.

It was fine if they kept silent, but once they opened their mouths, damn, they also developed some knots in their hearts.

After all, judging from what this young lady has done for Xiao Yan, it really could happen.

"Squeak!"

As soon as the former finished speaking, the opposite side's Gu Xun'er, whose breathtakingly beautiful face, instantly turned a pallid blue.

Then she pointed at Lin Feng, fuming, "Spurious arguments! You have repeatedly injured brother Xiao Yan, snatched his bone spirit cold flame and the Yao elder's talisman; those are ironclad facts. Now you dare to omit all that? I think you're just babbling, sowing discord among our seven ancient clans!"
