Chapter 658: What Are We Now?

"Family Head, Lord Shen Yu and Shen Yu have already left Ying City with the Second Master!"

"Finally gone!" After a deep sigh, 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 problems.

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

Fortunately, everything passed without danger; they had finally left.

After tidying his clothes, Leng Hanye hurried to the outside of a small hut. After bowing respectfully outside and receiving permission, he walked inside.

As soon as he stepped 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 awestruck 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 even breathed as lightly 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 after, Leng Family Head Leng Hanyue felt a scorching sensation surge through his entire body, and wisps of power gathered on 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, with not a trace of expression on the boy's face, 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 quickly vanished. 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 kind of waves could they stir up? Moreover, these people were spineless; throw them a few bones, and they would 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 more than stepping stones.

What is called reluctance, what is called sympathy—how is it any different from crocodile tears?

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

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

Once these are harvested, his strength will recover a portion. Once the origin is restored, he will be able to swallow Spirit Qi like a whale and recover to his peak in an instant.

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

At this moment, Shen Yu, who was assumed to have already left, was monitoring every move 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.

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

These people in the iron cages were similar to the bloodline eruption Leng Hanye had experienced before, only they looked even more ferocious, and their bodies seemed to have been clearly altered by bloodline power.

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

If he guessed correctly, the Leng Family was using other people's blood to cultivate the people locked in the iron cages, in order to stimulate their bloodline power 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; after a long while, he muttered to himself with some uncertainty.

"Could it be that the Leng Family is sending their own people to others as food? Ruthless!"

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

The whispering in his ear fell into the ears of Leng Hanye, giving Leng Hanye a slight shock, though a moment later he laughed at himself.

He really was worried and confused; they clearly hadn't seen anything 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 is 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 like birds startled by the mere twang of a bow? If he didn't beat the grass to scare the snake, how could he make them reveal their flaws?

There was definitely a problem with Leng Hanyue just now; he could not 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 already outside the city of Ying City; the distance from here to the Leng Family inside the city was not just ten or eight meters—even someone with 'clairaudience' couldn't reach that far.

If he didn't know who was standing before him, he would have suspected it was some con artist trying to trick him. But regarding Shen Yu's words, he had no choice but to believe. For a moment, he could only be half-believing.

"Do you want to know what I am looking at?"

His Super Perception enveloped the Leng Family, and the Mirror Flower Water Moon he had previously signed in for could create illusions, through which he displayed 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 seeing these Leng Family disciples completely invaded by bloodline power, Leng Hanye was slightly stunned. Didn't his elder brother say it was fine? Why, why would it be like this?

"Lord Shen, this, this..."

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

After just one look, Shen Yu had already made a judgment, then 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 awkward.

Thinking back to Shen Yu's words just now, did it 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 be so degenerate?

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 what he guessed was all fake. That these disciples were 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 drained clean.

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 bloodlines to nourish something he knew 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!"
