Chapter 322: You Really Dare to Think

"Family Head, Lord Shen Yu has already left Ying City with Second Master!"

"Finally gone!" He let out a deep sigh, then Leng Hanye waved his hand, signaling his subordinates to withdraw.

Taking two deep breaths to calm his nervous mood, he recalled his performance just now; other than being a bit nervous, there didn't seem to be any other flaws.

Besides, who in the pugilistic world wouldn't be nervous when meeting Shen Yu? His performance should be considered normal.

Fortunately, everything was safe and sound; they had finally left.

He straightened his clothes, then Leng Hanye hurried outside a small hut. After bowing respectfully outside and receiving permission, he walked in.

As soon as he walked inside, Leng Hanyue plopped down onto his knees, his head nearly touching the ground, appearing exceptionally respectful.

Before him was a little boy who looked only eight or nine years old. Although he looked like a child, there was a deeply sinister air between his brows.

Especially those eyes, which were like bottomless abysses, making one feel awe-struck just by looking at them.

Kneeling before the little boy, Leng Hanyue trembled all over, as if terrified of something. Let alone raising his head to look, he kept his breathing as light as possible.

"Ancestor, they have left!"

"Very good, you did well!"

He replied indifferently, then the little boy reached out and tapped lightly in front of him; the space where his finger touched seemed to ripple slightly.

Immediately, Leng Family Head Leng Hanyue felt a scorching sensation surge through his entire body, and wisps of power gathered upon him; his strength seemed to have advanced a step further.

This feeling of rapidly increasing strength made one unable to help but be addicted to it. The Ancestor before him was even more someone to be both loved and feared.

"Thank you, Ancestor, thank you, Ancestor! My entire Leng Family is willing to go through fire and water for you!"

"Going through fire and water is unnecessary; just bring today's food!" He glanced at him indifferently, the boy's face devoid of any expression, as if he were not looking at a living creature.

"I am in a good mood today, so make it ten!"

"Yes!" A flash of reluctance crossed his eyes, but it vanished quickly. By the time he raised his head again, only respect and fear remained.

"Ancestor, I will go prepare it now!"

"Heh, ants!" After Leng Hanyue left, the child saw that fleeting expression, but so what?

They were merely cattle and sheep he kept in captivity; what waves could they possibly make? Moreover, these people were spineless; throw them a few bones, and they could be as loyal as dogs.

He only needed to bestow a little favor, and these people would betray others without hesitation. What clansmen, what relatives—to them, they were nothing but stepping stones.

So-called reluctance, so-called sympathy—what difference was there between that and crocodile tears?

Ultimately, this Spirit Qi was still insufficient to support his full recovery; otherwise, that expert from just now would already be a meal on his plate, rather than him having to avoid the sharp edge like this.

Fortunately, he had planted the Seed early on; after so many years of sprouting and blooming, now was the time for the harvest.

Once he harvested these, his strength would recover a portion. Once the source was restored, he could whale-swallow Spirit Qi and recover to his peak state in an instant.

In this Great Contention Era, it was finally his turn to take the lead!

At this moment, Shen Yu, who had been assumed to have left, was monitoring every movement here from outside the Leng Family.

He watched as Leng Family Head Leng Hanyue entered that small hut, and after coming out, his strength had increased quite a bit.

Afterwards, several people locked in Vajra Iron Cages were personally brought by Leng Hanyue to the side of the hut, seemingly intending to send them inside.

These people in the iron cages were similar to the bloodline outbursts from before, only they looked even more ferocious, and their bodies seemed significantly altered by the power of the bloodline.

Moreover, the iron cages were covered in traces of fresh blood; this blood did not look like it belonged to those Leng clansmen locked inside.

If his guess was correct, the Leng Family was using other people's blood to cultivate those locked in the iron cages, in order to stimulate the power of their bloodlines to the maximum.

So now, why was Leng Family Head Leng Hanyue sending these Leng clansmen into this small hut?

This scene left Shen Yu somewhat puzzled, and after a long while, he muttered to himself with some uncertainty.

"Could it be that the Leng Family is sending their own kin to others as food? How ruthless!"

"Lord Shen, what do you mean by sending their own kin to others as food? Didn't we find nothing at the Leng Family just now?"

The murmuring voice fell into the ears of Leng Hanye, causing Leng Hanye to be slightly startled, though a moment later he laughed in spite of himself.

He really was letting concern cloud his judgment; they had clearly seen nothing at the Leng Family just now. His eldest brother was a bit abnormal, but it only made people slightly suspicious; it hadn't reached the point of being definitive.

It must be Lord Shen guessing, right? But this guess was too far-fetched.

"Just because you can't see it doesn't mean I can't. Even from here, I can still see everything happening in the Leng Family. That brother of yours has a ruthless heart!"

His gaze was cast into the distance, seemingly piercing through space to descend upon the Leng Family.

If he didn't go to the Leng Family to show his face, how could he make the Leng Family members become birds startled by the mere twang of a bow? If he didn't beat the grass to startle the snake, how could he make them reveal their flaws?

There was definitely something wrong with Leng Hanyue just now; he couldn't penetrate his Spiritual Sea. This was not something a mere Leng Family Head could achieve.

"You can see the Leng Family from here?" He looked at Shen Yu in disbelief. They were outside the walls of Ying City; this was not ten or eight meters away from the Leng Family inside the city. Even a person with 'wind-following ears' couldn't reach that far.

If he didn't know who was standing before him, he would have suspected this was some con artist trying to scam him. But because it was Shen Yu, he had to believe it. For a moment, he could only be half-doubting.

"Do you want to know what I saw?"

His Super Perception enveloped the Leng Family, and the Mirror Flower Water Moon he had previously 'signed in' for could create illusions, which he used to display everything he perceived before Leng Hanye's eyes.

At this time, the scenes unfolding in the Leng Family were displayed before Leng Hanye's eyes, almost shattering his worldview.

Especially when he saw these Leng Family disciples completely invaded by the power of the bloodline, Leng Hanye was slightly stunned. Didn't his elder brother say everything was fine? Why, why was it like this?

"Lord Shen, this, this..."

"The bloodline power has completely erupted, eroding their intelligence; their spirits have completely collapsed!"

Just by taking one look, Shen Yu had already made a judgment, then he shook his head. "They are now completely controlled by instinct; there is no saving them!"

"How could it be like this!" These Leng Family disciples were not only locked in Vajra Iron Cages, but their bodies were also chained up.

This didn't look like they were being rescued; it looked like they were being kept in captivity like dogs. No matter how he looked at it, it felt wrong.

Recalling Shen Yu's words from just now, did that not mean these Leng family members were to be sent to others as food? What kind of joke was this!

How could his own brother do such a thing, and how could his own clansmen fall so low?

But the more he looked, the more he felt something was wrong, and the more he felt that what Shen Yu said was right.

However, in Leng Hanye's heart, there was still a sliver of hope, hoping that his guesses were all false. Perhaps these disciples were being locked up like this just for their own good!

Yet after waiting for a period of time, not long after these cages were sent into the small house, they were dragged back out, only what was carried out this time were piles of desiccated corpses.

Clearly, all the power of these clansmen had already been completely drained.

What Shen Yu said was true; inside the house, there existed someone capable of absorbing the power of these Leng Family disciples, and the clansmen were being consumed just like food.

Moreover, these clansmen were personally sent over by his own elder brother, the Family Head whom all the clansmen respected.

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible, how could it be like this!" Under the impact of these scenes, Leng Hanye felt as if he were going insane.

This was clearly using Leng Family disciples who had awakened their bloodline to nourish something he knew absolutely nothing about.

Using the lives of his own clansmen to achieve his own goals—what did that make their Leng Family, and what on earth was his elder brother doing?

"Our Leng Family is a prestigious aristocratic clan, a prestigious clan! What are we now!"
