Chapter 1109: Bloodline Exposed

The Feng Clan Clan Chief also nodded and said, "I know what you're worried about! But for now it doesn't seem harmful, does it?"

Then he asked the Elder, "Did you find anything?"

The Elder shook his head, "The previous matters can't be traced! He appeared out of nowhere!"

Grand Elder continued, "That's exactly why I find it suspicious! A talent like this, could he have no backing?"

The Feng Clan Clan Chief said slowly, "We'll take it one step at a time. So far I haven't seen any other agenda; everything he does benefits our Feng Clan and indeed targets the Cheng Clan."

The Elder agreed, "Indeed! Our common enemy with the imperial court is the Cheng Clan. From the way he set up the Cheng Clan's celestial strongman, he is definitely targeting the Cheng Clan."

Moreover, he's unlikely to be from the imperial court. We later discovered that at the Ninth Princess's marriage‑seeking banquet, Emperor Xia seemed wary of his rise and intended to eliminate him.

But for some reason, Emperor Xia changed his mind on the spot, and now is courting and supporting him.

If Ye Liuyun could hear their conversation, he would certainly be surprised by its content.

The Feng Clan conducts detailed investigations on everyone who cooperates with them.

For a figure like Ye Liuyun who appeared out of nowhere, they are even more cautious.

Moreover, as Ye Liuyun becomes increasingly important to the Feng Clan, they must treat him with even greater care.

The Clan Chief thought for a moment, "There must be information we haven't noticed! Emperor Xia is always decisive and doesn't change his mind lightly! And from Ye Liuyun's temperament, he isn't easily controlled either!"

"Could it be that a greater force behind him has reached some agreement with Emperor Xia?" Grand Elder wondered.

"A greater force?" the Elder shook his head repeatedly, "Aside from the Cheng Clan and the Alien Evil Artifact, no other power could threaten Emperor Xia! And Ye Liuyun is clearly opposing those two forces!"

The Feng Clan's leadership would certainly doubt the suddenly emerged Ye Liuyun. Yet the benefits he brings make them unable to refuse.

"Stop thinking about it; since there's no evidence, we should trust him. Don't ruin a good cooperation."

In the end, the Clan Chief made the decision himself.

"Yes!"

Grand Elder and the Elder both responded in agreement and stepped out.

Inside the Grand Hall of council, only the Clan Chief remained.

He stared at a stone pillar beside him and muttered to himself.

"It actually bears our Feng Clan bloodline… how interesting!"

That pillar looked no different from the others in the hall.

But only the Clan Chief knew it was a pillar that could test for Feng Clan bloodline, usually used to verify whether a visitor truly carries it.

Since he had never considered that Ye Liuyun might have Feng Clan blood, he never paid attention to it.

Until Ye Liuyun's last entrance, he inadvertently discovered that the pillar indicated Ye Liuyun possessed Feng Clan blood, making him effectively a Feng Clan disciple.

This discovery has continually puzzled him. If he were truly a Feng Clan disciple, he couldn't have hidden origins.

But he didn't tell anyone else, merely observing Ye Liuyun's actions, which all turned out beneficial to the Feng Clan.

So today Feng Changming appointed Ye Liuyun as Team Leader, and he quickly made his decision.

Including his conversation with Grand Elder and the Elder, it was clear they trusted Ye Liuyun more.

Ye Liuyun could not have imagined that Clan Chief Feng Yunxiao had already seen his Feng Clan bloodline.

He was currently discussing the Team Leader matter with Feng Changming.

Sure enough, Ye Liuyun demanded absolute authority; otherwise he would rather be an ordinary member.

As an ordinary member, he would have no responsibility and could simply walk away to do his own thing.

But as Team Leader, his duties are heavier, needing to consider the safety of most disciples.

Yet, because he is becoming increasingly important to the Feng Clan, he doesn't mind taking extra trouble.

After all, if the Feng Clan falls, he would have to face the Cheng Clan alone; better to unite with the Feng Clan to confront the Cheng Clan.

Especially since the Great Xia Empire is also dealing with the Cheng Clan now—a rare opportunity.

He must seize the chance, strike the Cheng Clan so they cannot retaliate, and then openly release his mother.

Feng Changming directly agreed to Ye Liuyun's request, handing over all these Feng Clan disciples to Ye Liuyun with full authority.

His collective training of the disciples should end here. Continuing would yield little improvement; better to let Ye Liuyun rehearse a battle formation to unleash collective power.

No one knows what unexpected situations might arise in the Secret Realm. Preparing multiple plans will always be safer.

Next, the two of them discussed many details regarding the battle formation rehearsals and personnel selection.

"In the end only fifty people can enter the Secret Realm, so there's ample room for selection."

Feng Changming told Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun shook his head, "The numbers are large, but elite troops are scarce!"

Feng Changming was also helpless; the Feng Clan truly lacks outstanding individuals, so they can only choose from what they have.

"No wonder the Feng Clan is suppressed by the Cheng Clan; among the younger generation there are truly no strong ones!"

Ye Liuyun only thought that in his mind, saying nothing.

After he and Feng Changming roughly set the training plan for the next twenty‑plus days, he returned to rest.

His own cultivation realm should also be raised.

Last time in the Ancient Ape Secret Realm, he obtained a large amount of high‑rank Ancient Ape Core Pills, his best resource for advancement.

He and his two clones were both striving to improve. For Wu Qingcheng and others, Ye Liuyun also supplied Spirit Stones and various resources, ensuring they need not worry about consumption.

He also told his parents and Feng Wanru about obtaining the Team Leader qualification, which made them unusually pleased.

His parents never imagined their son, coming from a small place, could become the leading figure among the Feng Clan's elite disciples.

Feng Wanru was even happier, as if Ye Liuyun's progress brought her more joy than her own improvement.

During this period Ye Liuyun was busy with training, and she never went over to disturb him.

She also found it odd; after a few days without seeing him, she missed Ye Liuyun especially.

She wanted to go see him, but Ye Liuyun was too busy to invite her, and she felt embarrassed to go on her own.

And she went too often; she also feared being discovered, so she could only endure it.

"You stinky brat, you actually don't think of me! Just you wait until I finish perfecting my sword technique, then I'll deal with you!"

Feng Wanru, after sulking for a bit, began to cultivate the sword technique again.
