"Are you just letting them go like that?"
After leaving the three behind, he went directly to Xuanwu Avenue, and Tian Wenxin asked Li Feng, "And what's the aning of you letting them leave Ancestor Dragon City with people? Preparing an escape route ahead?"
Li Feng turned around to face Tian Wenxin's questioning.
"You can call it an escape route. I need to make a trip to the Vermilion Bird Sacred Land."
"Going to the Vermilion Bird Sacred Land?"
Tian Wenxin paused for a mont, then Li Feng took a deep breath and said, "Earlier, I was almost killed, but the Bloodline Power erupted and manifested the Vermilion Bird True Body. This alard the Vermilion Bird Holy Beast, and it was the Vermilion Bird that controlled my body with a wisp of Divine Sense, which allowed to defeat Zeng Jingtian and the others."
Upon hearing this, Tian Wenxin thought: No wonder Li Feng seed to have divine help before—it was the Vermilion Bird truly descending to wreak havoc. You have to know, the level of the Four Holy Beasts is even above the Nascent Soul, existing even before the appearance of Ancestor Dragon City.
"Is it the Vermilion Bird Holy Beast asking you to et it?"
Tian Wenxin glanced sideways at Li Feng.
Li Feng nodded, "Yes."
Upon receiving this confirmation, Tian Wenxin's heart skipped a beat. Li Feng is on the brink of sothing big. You only need to look at the Sikong Family to see how powerful the Vermilion Bird is; it's their advantage of having the Vermilion Bird Bloodline that got them into the top twenty-two families of Ancestor Dragon City.
Being summoned by the Vermilion Bird, Li Feng's future may be limitless, and with my son apprenticed under Li Feng, the prospect of revitalizing the Fang Family is not as bleak.
If he goes to et the Vermilion Bird and gains so opportunities, it would be even more delightful.
"Yes, and we have to go quickly."
With that thought, Tian Wenxin not only won't stop Li Feng but strongly supports him: "Moreover, not only do you need to go, but we all must go."
Li Feng turned to look at the slightly excited Tian Wenxin, who also seed to realize her slight loss of composure, coughed, and said: "There's no other option; if you leave, no one will be there in the Li Family to hold the fort."
"You can't just leave and let the family be wiped out the mont you're gone. You wouldn't let us suffer such an undeserved disaster, would you?"
"If you leave with and return to Ancestor Dragon City later, who knows how long it's going to take? And going to the Vermilion Bird Sacred Land won't be smooth sailing either."
The Fang Family isn't like Li Batian, who sold himself to Li Feng as a family retainer. The Fang Family moved into the Li Family because Fang Zhoushan apprenticed under Li Feng, seeking only a temporary place to stay.
In reality, the Fang Family is still independent.
"I understand all of this, but compared to the potential dangers along the way, staying in Ancestor Dragon City is likely to be catastrophic. The Zeng Family won't spare my Fang Family, so if you have to leave, my Fang Family will have no choice but to follow you."
Tian Wenxin realized she was acting quite shalessly; although her son is Li Feng's disciple, the future of the Fang Family isn't his responsibility.
"Then we need to figure out how to leave Ancestor Dragon City."
If Li Feng were to leave alone, it would be simple; he could leave right now. But he can't just leave without bringing Zi Yan and the other two won.
Taking these three won is manageable, but what about Li Batian's family and the entire Fang clan? Despite most of the Fang Family being killed, there are still dozens who escaped.
Not to ntion the Zeng Family's trap that captured Fang Family mbers as bargaining chips, and those people are still in the Duel Arena—up to hundreds of people.
"In the Duel Arena, what are you planning to do about those hundreds of Fang Family mbers?"
Upon hearing this, Tian Wenxin was also greatly troubled. Though they saved these people, how to accommodate them has beco a dilemma.
They can't be brought to the Li Family.
She's currently residing at the Li Family. If she brings hundreds more, it would be like invading the nest—she herself feels it's excessive.
"Can they be accommodated in the estate outside the city?"
Tian Wenxin thought about it; although many of these people aren't direct family mbers, they have contributed to the Fang Family for years; so have served for generations. This is the foundation of the Fang Family—if abandoned, it's hard to say how many years it'll take to cultivate such loyalty again.
Li Feng shook his head.
"The war slaves taken away by Lei Ba are useful to , and outside Ancestor Dragon City isn't safe. It's a lawless land compared to Ancestor Dragon City, and hiding hundreds of people would be nearly impossible."
"The Zeng Family suffered significant losses this ti; if they can't find us, these people would all be scapegoats."
"Then what can be done? I can't possibly ignore them."
Tian Wenxin gritted her teeth.
"Li Feng, I know my request is excessive, but these people have served the Fang Family for generations—I can't just stand by and let them fall into the Duel Arena, that's a place that devours people whole."
"I beg you."
Tian Wenxin looked pleadingly at Li Feng.
Li Feng, looking at Tian Wenxin, couldn't help but admit that she is very captivating—the charm that drove Zeng Family's second lord to willingly act as a stepfather and repeatedly pressure her. Especially her pitiful pleading, which few n could resist.
Li Feng exhaled after a while: "I can't take them along the journey, not even the ones currently at my Li Family. I'm only your son's master, not the head of the Fang Family."
"Do you want to be the head of the Fang Family?"
Suddenly, Tian Wenxin approached Li Feng, her full figure almost touching his body, a faint fragrance wafting into his nostrils.
Li Feng lowered his head to look at Tian Wenxin: "What are you doing?"
"You know what I'm talking about."
Tian Wenxin pressed on, her whole body almost leaning into Li Feng's embrace.
"Besides, I know you've been craving . If you feel disconnected from the Fang Family and unwilling to intervene, I'll give you a reason."
"I'll be your woman, then the Fang Family's affairs naturally concern you. I don't ask much; just help my son restore his position as head of the Fang Family, and I, Tian Wenxin, vow to be at your disposal for life."
Tian Wenxin bit her lip, almost staking everything.
Previously, she wouldn't have chosen this, but after the battle at Underground Palace City and Li Feng's potential trip to the Vermilion Bird Sacred Land, Tian Wenxin knew she had to make a bet.
The Fang Family is now like a stray dog, with few chips left to leverage. The only chip she can offer is herself.
She was once one of the ten beauties of Ancestor Dragon City; although that was a generation ago, Zeng Xingtian was infatuated with her not rely because she was a Fang Family lady, but because of her unwavering beauty, stunningly charming the world, capable of laying cities to waste.
Li Feng isn't foolish; naturally, he understood Tian Wenxin's choice, which even slightly tempted him.
"I still have so connections at Flowers Pavilion that could shelter so of your Fang Family mbers. The background at Flowers Pavilion is complex; they likely won't trouble Fang Family mbers who sold themselves as slaves."
"But most mbers still need to leave Ancestor Dragon City. Have your Fang Family disperse and sneak out of the city. As long as I haven't left Ancestor Dragon City, no one will pay attention to the Fang Family's old, sick, and weak."
"Are you planning to hide them in the Zeng Family's estate?"
Li Feng shook his head: "That's just a temporary shelter—it's not safe for them to go there; the best option is to go to the Refugee Village."
