"Look … Look at what?" Hong Qiang's mouth twitched.
Elder Zhao said, "Look at what happens to those who offend this young man!"
"I still don't understand." Hong Qiang was confused.
"Let me put it this way, Master. Do you know what the word 'bloodline' actually means?" Elder Zhao asked.
Hong Qiang frowned. He more or less understood that the word did not refer to the bloodline that he imagined. The Hong family was a family that once had a Nascent Soul Realm ancestor. Although he had fallen many years ago, the Hong family was not weak.
However, he had no idea what a bloodline truly represented.
Elder Zhao was an elder of the Hong family and had been with the family for many years. It was said that he owed the Nascent Soul Realm ancestor a favor and swore to protect the Hong family for a hundred years. That was why Elder Zhao had come to the Hong family decades ago and had never left.
As for Elder Zhao's background, no one in the Hong family, including Hong Qiang, knew.
However, Elder Zhao was very knowledgeable. This was something that everyone in the Hong family knew. There were very few things that Elder Zhao did not know.
Elder Zhao looked at Hong Qiang, who was shaking his head, and sighed. "Bloodlines are divided into five categories. The red bloodline is the lowest, followed by orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple. The purple bloodline is the highest!"
"Bloodlines are divided into colors?" Hong Qiang's mouth twitched, unable to understand.
"That's just a saying. It doesn't mean that your blood is that color." Elder Zhao explained, "In this world, most people … do not have the power of a bloodline! In other words, we don't even have the lowest red bloodline! "
Gasp!
Hong Qiang's mouth twitched as he took a deep breath. He looked at Elder Zhao in disbelief.
Elder Zhao nodded. "I'm the same as you. However … there was a senior with a yellow bloodline in my sect! The speed at which that senior increased his cultivation was astounding! At the same time, the moment his bloodline awakened, he was brought into a mysterious world! "
"A mysterious world?" Hong Qiang and Hong Tianlan felt like they were listening to the Bible.
Elder Zhao shook his head. "That world isn't something we cultivators can explore. I don't understand it either. But the stronger the bloodline, the faster the cultivation. At the same time, in the same realm, the one with the stronger bloodline will always have the upper hand! "
As Elder Zhao spoke, his face gradually turned serious. "That young man definitely did not mention the word bloodline unintentionally. He was testing us!"
"Probe?" Hong Qiang frowned.
"That's right, he's testing us to see if we are qualified to be his enemies … or friends!" Elder Zhao said with certainty.
"That exaggerated?" Hong Qiang and Hong Tianlan were in disbelief.
Elder Zhao said, "He was able to block Hong Yue's attack with just one hand, which means that his body is almost indestructible. Then, he mentioned the bloodline. At this point … his identity was already on the verge of being revealed! But this is no longer something we have the right to know. "
"Oh my god …" Hong Tianlan's mouth twitched. His heart was filled with emotions. He actually felt a sense of glory.
I, Hong Tianlan, actually had such a pleasant conversation with such a top-notch genius?
Hong Qiang's mind was also in a mess. He muttered, "What is such a genius doing here?"
Elder Zhao sighed. "I presume … the news of the ruins has been leaked!"
When the ruins were mentioned, Hong Qiang's expression instantly became serious. "Then … what should we do?"
Elder Zhao smiled mysteriously. "At this time, we're definitely not the only ones who are anxious! This person is indeed someone we can't afford to offend. But the problem is … not everyone can deduce his identity! "
Hong Qiang's eyes suddenly lit up. For the first time that night, his face revealed a smile. He said excitedly, "Right! There's still that wolf and tiger in Silken City! "
Elder Zhao smiled lightly. "Indeed!"
…
Silken City, west of the city.
Jin Clan.
An old man that looked to be around 50 years old sat at the seat of honor. His eyelids drooped as he attentively tasted the tea in his hand.
A young and pretty woman stood there. In the beginning, she was still able to maintain her composure and wore a light smile on her face. She stood there with great self-restraint.
But gradually, as time slowly passed, the woman started to feel slightly uneasy. Even though she was born in a small town, the education she received since she was young told her to be polite and well-mannered. Especially not to be disrespectful in front of others.
She couldn't even be disrespectful!
Actually, with her cultivation at the Congenital Realm, not to mention 10 minutes, it was fine even if she stood there for a few days and nights.
But the shapeless aura emitted by the old man was truly too shocking!
The old man didn't reveal even a trace of his aura, but the woman just had to feel that the old man only needed a thought to make her die countless times!
This woman was naturally Fang Lan.
The old man in his 50s was the Jin Clan's Patriarch, Jin Dongnan!
This was a name that resounded throughout the entire Silken City. But the reverence most ordinary people had towards this name basically came from this person, the Patriarch of Silken City's Jin Clan. To those cultivators that had the qualifications to know some things or some extraordinary people, this name was too terrifying.
Because Jin Dongnan was a Golden Core Realm cultivator!
Otherwise, why would a large clan like the Hong Clan be afraid of the Jin Clan? Because the strength of the Hong Clan was already capable of firmly suppressing the Hong Clan. Yes, the Hong Clan also had a Golden Core Realm expert, Mr. Zhao. But no matter how much Mr. Zhao protected the Hong Clan, he was still surnamed Zhao in the end.
But Jin Dongnan was a genuine member of the Jin Clan!
Who would believe that a clan that was capable of fostering a Golden Core Realm expert didn't have any hidden resources?
Fang Lan knew why the old man before her would take her down a notch. The reason was extremely simple. Although Jin Tiegang had given her this opportunity and allowed her to 'encounter' the Patriarch, Jin Dongnan, before meeting Jin Ming. But she was afraid that she wouldn't have the chance to speak, so she knelt down before Jin Dongnan in front of everyone and begged him to uphold justice for her.
Seizing the opportunity when Jin Dongnan was slightly stunned, Fang Lan spoke directly.
"I'm not willing to marry Jin Ming!"
Although the people that heard these words were all trusted aides of the Jin Clan and they weren't afraid that someone would go out and spread rumors, but many people heard it in the end.
What sort of clan was the Jin Clan? What was Jin Ming's identity?
It wasn't an exaggeration to say that in terms of status, the Jin Clan was equivalent to a vassal king in the secular world. Jin Ming was the true son of a vassal king, and he was a prince!
Now, a beautiful young lady that came out of nowhere had charged before the Jin Clan's Patriarch and shouted loudly that she wasn't willing to marry his son.
Even if this young lady had a million grievances, but to Jin Dongnan, this matter caused him to lose a considerable amount of face!
This kind of old and experienced figure practically saw through Jin Tiegang's thoughts with a single glance, and after fiercely glaring at Jin Tiegang, he asked someone to bring Fang Lan over to him.
Thus, the scene from before occurred.
