Chapter 683: Phoenix Blood
Hearing Feng Yun's words, the old Lin and Li Wei's face turned grim.
"City Lord Yun, what is the meaning of this?" Old Li asked with a livid look.
"You both are wanted men. If I were to pass your info to the Phoenix Clan, I am sure I would get a pretty good award. However, I don't want to do that. If you are willing to surrender, I can offer good resources, but if you don't cooperate, I will use force."
They looked at each other and communicated through divine senses.
'Old Li, what should we do now?'
'What else? We have to run. You have seen Feng Yun's battle, do you think we stand a chance against him.'
Old Li and Li Wei nodded inwardly in sync and tried to escape. However, they collided against an invisible wall, unable to get out.
"Shit, this is formation. When did he place the formation? How did he do it?" Old Lin and Li Wei were shocked. They couldn't comprehend how Feng Yun placed the formation around their house without knowing them.
"Looks like I have to use violence." Feng Yun floated in the air, releasing his spirit energy. He punched the old man heavily on the other hand, Yang Xianfeng also took action against Li Wei. Li Wei was a Mid-Stage Sovereign, while the old man was a Late Stage Sovereign.
A few minutes later.
"Surrender! We surrender!" Old Man Lin and Li Wei were kneeling on the ground with bruise faces and broken nose.
"Good!" Feng Yun nodded in satisfaction. "Now, tell me your story, why does the Phoenix Clan want you?"
Old Lin hesitated for a moment before opening his mouth. Turned out, they were originally citizen of the Phoenix Empire.
One day, for the exploration of an ancient ruin, they entered with the people of the Phoenix Clan. The people of the Phoenix Clan found the Phoenix Blood. These two ambushed the Phoenix Clan's people and stole the Phoenix Blood. The steeling the Phoenix Blood, they naturally couldn't stay in the Phoenix Empire, so they escape to the Hell City. They hid their identity and blend in the city.
Feng Yun didn't care about their past. However, his eyes shone upon hearing the name of the Phoenix Blood. The Phoenix Race was one of the Divine Beasts, standing equal to The Dragon Race. Feng Yun possesses the bloodline of a golden dragon, and it was evident that he possesses the awe-inspiring power because of the Dragon Bloodline.
Because of the Dragon Bloodline, Feng Yun's combat strength was higher than his cultivation level and could fight multiple opponent at the same time.
Phoenix Bloodline was not inferior to Dragon's Bloodline.
"Where is the Phoenix Blood?" Feng Yun asked seriously.
Old Lin looked at Li Wei. Li Wei answered slowly, "It isn't on me, I have hidden it someplace safe."
Feng Yun nodded lightly. After that, he placed the soul controlling rune inside their sea of consciousness.
"Ahhh, what did you do... ahhha." Both Li Wei and Old Lin screamed in pain when they felt tearing pain in their mind. That was the result of Feng Yun's soul controlling skill.
"Long story sort. I have just placed a rune in your consciousness that controls your soul, and if you dare to go against my order or betray me, it will explode, causing you to die instantly." Feng Yun explained casually.
"What!" Li Wei and Old Lin exclaimed loudly. They found it hard to believe. They had decided to surrender right now, because they knew they escape later. If Feng Yun's words true, doesn't mean they have to serve Feng Yun for the rest of their life.
They were already plotting how they were going to sell Feng Yun to the Phoenix Clan. They would find a chance to escape and reveal the news to the world that Feng Yun has Phoenix Blood. At that time, Feng Yun would become enemy of the Phoenix Clan.
However, who knew Feng Yun would have strange soul skill. It destroyed their hope of freedom.
"Bring the Phoenix Blood as fast as you could." Feng Yun ordered Li Wei who nodded with a livid expression.
After leaving, Feng Yun looked at Yang Xianfeng and said in a cold tone,"Keep your mouth close, otherwise you will regret it."
"Absolutely, City Lord." Yang Xianfeng answered hurriedly. He didn't have guts to offend this devil. Naturally, Feng Yun wasn't naive to think Yang Xianfeng wouldn't betray him. Greed could change a person's nature. So he made sure Yang Xianfeng remain loyal to him.
After subduing two people, Feng Yun continued to visit other sovereign. After a full day of hard work, he subdued another 11 sovereigns. The eleven sovereigns were all wanted criminals or evil cultivators who harmed innocent lives. Feng Yun showed no mercy and directly made them his slaves.
Now the Dragon City over twenty sovereigns. Yang Xiangfeng, and his six subordinates plus thirteen soul slaves whom Feng Yun had subdued. Now, Feng Yun didn't have to do works himself, he could order these people. After that, Feng Yun gathered them and gave them tasks. Each one of them was responsible for protecting the Dragon City and maintain the peace in the city.
In the evening, Li Wei and Old Lin came to the City Lord's mansion.
"Did you bring it?" Feng Yun looked at the two and asked. Li Wei nodded in response. Li Wei took out a baby human head sized ice crystal from his storage and forward it to Feng Yun.
Feng Yun held the ice crystal in hand, feeling chilling coldness spreading onto his hand. He couldn't help but use his spirit energy to resist the coldness. Feng Yun carefully studied the ice crystal. There was a little red liquid inside the ice, it was the Phoenix's Blood.
"Sir, this is Fire Phoenix's blood, it can't be stored in ordinary vials or containers. It has to seal inside the Millennia Frozen Ice." Old Lin explained.
Feng Yun nodded lightly. Feng Yun grinned happily. After examining the Phoenix Blood with his divine sense, Feng Yun concluded that it was not ordinary blood, it was pure blood essence of Fire Phoenix. It was a priceless treasure that was very hard to find in the world.
At this time, Feng Yun fell in thoughts, the Phoenix Blood was treasure of the Phoenix Clan. If he returned this treasure to the Phoenix Clan, he would get the friendship of the Phoenix Clan, which was one of the strongest ancient clan. But if he didn't return it, he would get their enmity.
This Phoenix Blood would be beneficial to his wives. However, he got another headache thinking of distribution of the Phoenix Blood. He couldn't favor one. Anyway currently other than Long Shu, other's physique wasn't strong enough to absorb the Phoenix Blood so even if Feng Yun wanted to give all Phoenix Blood to one girl, he couldn't.
For he decided to keep it for now, he will think of something later.
"Okay, you guys can go now." Feng Yun send them off. Dragon City was changing, developing rapidly. He has many things to do in the city.
