Arranging a Meeting with the Four Clan Chiefs

Seeing that his three older siblings were in better spirits, the Black Tortoise Clan Chief continued, "Some clansmen had previously received news that a junior had visited the lord, and then a great battle broke out in the Gobi Desert near the lord, which was reserved for sparring and fighting with experts of the same level."

"I'm not sure if there's a causal connection between these two events, nor am I sure if the person who fought the Lord was the junior who visited him, but I suspect that the Lord's reason for summoning us this time is definitely related to these two events, or at least one of them."

These words immediately sparked a discussion among the other three about Fengyun's identity, with some speculating that Fengyun was either Lord God Envoy or a child of the Overgod, just like Beirut.

After all, Beirut is too strong. If it weren't for his connection with the Overgod, which normal Asura powerhouse could spar with such an unparalleled powerhouse as Beirut?

While there are indeed super strong individuals like Beirut who are abnormally powerful and capable of sparring and fighting with him, why would they call Beirut a senior?

As the discussion progressed, the atmosphere became more lively, and it even gradually turned into speculation about whether some Overgod intended to lend them a helping hand and help them get rid of the troubles caused by the Eight Great Families.

Although thinking like this is just wishful thinking, there's nothing they can do. They've suffered so much over the years. If they don't want to have any beautiful thoughts or hopes, the heavy pressure will crush them.

When they arrived at Beirut's mansion and were introduced to Fengyun by Beirut, they learned that Fengyun valued the bloodline of their Four Divine Beast Family and wanted to study it, which was why he had summoned them here. They felt as if they had swallowed a fly and fell into silence.

As the patriarch of the Four Divine Beast Family, a descendant of Super Divine Beast, and a descendant of four Overgod, even in his decline, the pride in his bones has always remained.

Otherwise, faced with the pressure from the Eight Great Families, they would have simply retreated their clansmen to the Sky Altar Mountain Range for secluded cultivation, and there would have been no Blood Battle Valley.

This is why Fengyun was introduced to them by Beirut, and it was Beirut who made the request. If it were anyone else, even if they were in Beirut's mansion, they would have taken immediate action without any hesitation.

It would never remain silent like it is now!

After all, to say you want to study the bloodline of any mythical beast family in front of them is tantamount to slapping them in the face.

Seeing this, Fengyun said directly, "Four clan leaders, this research wasn't for nothing. As a reward, you can ask for anything you want, whether it's the Sovereign’s Might or any other treasures. In addition, I will also consider it a favor I owe to your Four Divine Beast Family."

Upon hearing this, the four men's expressions turned even angrier. After all, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. No matter how down on their luck their Four Divine Beast Family were, and how much their foundation had been weakened, they were still not lacking in all kinds of treasures.

Even after squandering the Sovereign’s Might for so long, they still have a considerable surplus. Even though they are becoming more cautious and strict in bestowing gifts upon their people for the sake of long-term development, they are truly not lacking and are more well-off than the Eight Great Families.

Aside from the Nether Fruit and other supreme treasures that can directly enhance their understanding of the laws, the only truly useful treasures for their Four Divine Beast Family are the Sovereign Artifact.

Sovereign Artifact, even the children and Lord God Envoy Overgod restrictions on obtaining the main artifacts. How could a mere descendant from Beirut be qualified to provide them with them?

Treasures like the Nether Fruit, which help enhance one's understanding of the laws, are rare and hard to come by. They also did not believe that Fengyun could provide these treasures as a reward.

Apart from these things, the Four Divine Beast Family truly lacks nothing else.

As for Fengyun's personal connections, well...

If it were a favor from Beirut, that would be fine, but what about a favor from Fengyun?

Who does Fengyun even matter to those four?!

In the eyes of the four clan leaders, Fengyun was clearly trying to take advantage of their Four Divine Beast Family for free, so it was no wonder they were furious!

However, out of respect for Beirut, they could not afford to turn against him under any circumstances. Otherwise, losing Beirut's protection would be an unbearable loss for their family!

At the same time, the four of them secretly glanced at Beirut. Beirut had asked them for people in order to study the Four Divine Beasts back then.

In their view, Fengyun's request was more likely that Beirut had once again developed a research interest, but was simply using Fengyun, a junior, to voice it, so as not to make them use this as a pretext to ask Beirut to deeply intervene in the troubles between their Four Divine Beast Family and the Eight Great Families.

But when you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. Although offering up your family bloodline for others to study is a humiliating thing to some extent, it's not necessarily a bad thing if Beirut wants to study it.

Because if handled properly, this could also be an opportunity to deepen the connection between their Four Divine Beast Family and Beirut.

If we can take this opportunity to gain more support from Beirut, that would be a good thing, a great thing!

After exchanging another glance, Gesleisen, as the person in charge, directly bowed to Beirut, who was sitting upright, and said, "We are very happy to be able to help young friend Fengyun with his research. I wonder how many clansmen we need to provide this time?"

"Recently, the conflict between our clan and the Eight Great Families has become increasingly intense."

"If too many elite members of the clan are drawn from here, I'm afraid..."

This was a very skillful way of putting it. It was said that he was supporting Fengyun, but it was actually directed at Beirut. He didn't mention any reward at all, only saying that because the war with the Eight Great Families was getting more and more intense, he might not be able to provide many clansmen to help with the research.

This is clearly a message to Beirut that the Four Divine Beast Family are willing to cooperate in the research, and that they know Beirut is the one who wants to conduct the research. They hope that, in consideration of their cooperation, Beirut will intervene in the war between the Eight Great Families and them.

How could someone as shrewd as Beirut not listen to Gesleisen and understand his thoughts?

He shook Gesleisen with a smile, "Gaisleysen, let me remind you, of all the conditions that Fengyun mentioned earlier, the others are fine, but the most valuable thing is the favor he's willing to do."

"Strictly speaking, this kid's favors carry more weight than mine, the lord of the manor!"

After saying that, he turned to Fengyun and said, "Now you know the downsides of being too low-key, right?"

"You can discuss the specific terms with them yourself. I've gathered a few decent juniors; you can get to know them after the discussion!"

"After all, bloodline research is not something that can be completed in a short time. If you encounter any troubles or minor issues during the research process, just have those little guys handle them."

"Hehehe~, I'll give you another gift later, I guarantee you'll like it!"
