Angel's Sigh, a Martial Soul Hall Relic? Evil Soul Masters Are Running Rampant (Please Follow)
"Father, stop, stop, stop! I understand what you're saying, but his situation is complicated... Please calm down and listen to me explain..."
Having just thoroughly berated his children and grandchildren, Yue Zhengen now experienced the profound love of an old father. Lezhengyang shook him until his head spun, yet he did not dare use Soul Power to resist.
Lezhengyang set Yue Zhengen down and said with a dark expression, "Speak."
Yue Zhengen straightened his travel clothes, aching over his rumpled outfit. With a pained look, he said, "He has an excellent relationship with the Yu Family and addresses Yu Guanzhi's granddaughter as an older sister..."
After slowly recounting Feng Zaixing's life story, Yue Zhengen looked at his father, whose eyes were narrowed to slits, and felt deeply uneasy.
When he had first seen Feng Zaixing, he had immediately developed a deep appreciation for his talent and had wanted nothing more than to drag him back at once, just as he had dragged that menace Sima Jinchi back to the legion back then.
But before investigating, he had not known. Once he did, he was shocked. Feng Zaixing was still young, but his web of connections was terrifyingly complicated.
Blood God Legion, Primal Body Sect, War God Hall, Yu Family, Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy... Looking at that pile of labels, the only thing missing was "I'm one of the Federation's own" written across his forehead.
Several Four-word Battle Armor Masters were involved. He himself was the War God Hall successor of Yu Guanzhi's faction. Under such circumstances, even Yue Zhengen found it difficult to interfere, as it could easily cause misunderstandings.
All along, the Southern Legion had answered directly to the Angel Family. Not even the Federation's central government could touch it, but correspondingly, the Yue Family could not extend its reach beyond the south.
If they rashly acknowledged kinship, people might believe that the Yue Family was not content with monopolizing the south and wanted to expand toward the central regions. That would be a huge problem. It was a red line they absolutely could not cross, or they would provoke public outrage.
Lezhengyang remained silent for a long while. His wrinkled fists clenched and loosened, then finally he let out a long sigh.
"Then forget it. Even if no one in this generation of the family is suitable, we cannot draw the combined attack of every faction."
"His Body Martial Soul has no legitimate connection to us. Trying to bring him back into the family would only make our Yue Family look opportunistic. The Yu Family gets the advantage this time. Damn it..."
He gritted his teeth furiously, the bones in his hands cracking as he clenched them. His eyes were still filled with unwillingness, but reason had ultimately defeated desire.
Yue Zhengen nodded gloomily. "That's what I thought too. Family inheritance must prioritize stability. Then, Father, should we pay more attention to him in the future?"
"The Yu Family already values him. What flowers does our Yue Family need to add? It won't even be your turn to send betrothal gifts and attend the banquet!"
Lezhengyang waved his hand irritably, flashed back into the Secret Chamber, and slammed the door shut with a boom. Furious curses came from within.
"Get lost, get lost, get lost! Don't bring this kind of headache to your old man again. One more thing like this, and I'll lose a few more years off my life!"
"I'd be happy if you lived for a few more decades, Father..."
Yue Zhengen muttered softly. He sighed, turned around, and said to himself, "If I hadn't known he was Zhengyu and Zhenglei's cousin, I wouldn't have been so furious. Those two cousins combined can't compare to their younger cousin. I'll have Jinchi train them half to death..."
Ming Capital, Purple Radiance Auction House, Free Treasure Appreciation Zone.
Na'er was like a carefree silver butterfly, wandering through a world of rare treasures.
Feng Zaixing wore a pair of Soul Guide Reading Glasses like an old scholar, looking every bit like an archaeology expert. After a busy round of shopping, he bought a large batch of treasures, including but not limited to two pieces of Thousand-Year Whale Rubber, several extremely rare metals, and two Ten-Thousand-Year Spiritual Objects.
There were simply too many good items supplied exclusively to the military. The five hundred million Federal Coins funded by the Long Family were beginning to run low.
Mu Ye followed Na'er around, dazzled by the countless treasures. He could not help secretly thinking that the Primal Body Sect had truly been away from the continent's core circle for too long.
He normally never got to see such things. He could occasionally benefit from Zhen Hua's connections, but he could not Visit Often.
Suddenly, Feng Zaixing's eyes focused. In the Commemorative Coin Area at the edge of his vision, he spotted a row of ancient gold coins with intact, intricate patterns. Their total value was five million Federal Coins.
A sudden intuition struck him. This batch of commemorative coins was fated with him.
"So they're gold coins from the ancient era, perhaps even the Ancient Era?"
After stepping forward to examine them closely, Feng Zaixing discovered that several commemorative coins bore extraordinarily complex patterns on their surfaces. He also saw the note beneath them: "Some commemorative coins are suspected to have originated from twenty thousand years ago or earlier." His expression immediately changed, and he called Mu Ye over.
"Teacher, I'm interested in these commemorative coins. Come take a look."
"Zaixing, what did you find?"
Mu Ye led Na'er over. The moment his gaze fell on them, his brows rose, and he sent a telepathic message. "Zaixing, these commemorative coins come in different forms. Their dates are difficult to determine."
"I know. I'd like you to see whether the patterns on their surfaces contain inscribed arrays. Ancient texts record that the arrays from the Martial Soul Hall Period of the Ancient Era were very different from today's Soul Guide arrays. You are an expert in this field."
Feng Zaixing spoke slowly. Mu Ye was a Rank 9 Mecha Manufacturer, specializing in engraving Soul Guide arrays during the crafting of Battle Armor and mecha, turning forged rare metals into finished products.
"You suspect this batch of commemorative coins truly contains relics from the Martial Soul Hall Period?" Mu Ye became interested.
"I feel an indescribable sense of familiarity, as though these commemorative coins have a special pull on me. It comes from... Sacred Soul Power and my Martial Soul." Feng Zaixing's expression turned solemn.
"Sacred Soul Power and your Martial Soul? You mean..."
Mu Ye's pupils contracted violently. Not a trace of carelessness remained in his heart as he inspected the two rows of commemorative coins one by one, not daring to overlook the slightest detail.
The only thing that could make Feng Zaixing's Martial Soul resonate was the Six-Winged Angel of old. In those days, every generation of the Six-Winged Angel Qian Family of the Martial Soul Hall had produced a Limit Douluo.
If these were relics of a suspected Limit Douluo from the Ancient Era, he could not possibly take them lightly.
Without hesitation, Feng Zaixing directly swiped his card to buy the commemorative coins, took them out, and handed them to Mu Ye for research.
"A rare gamble. I hope it pays off."
After confirming that several gold coins contained an extremely faint Same Origin Aura, Feng Zaixing's expression remained unchanged, but inwardly he was overjoyed. He eagerly anticipated what the old predecessors had left for future generations.
At the same time, he held another hope. Ten thousand years later, Qian Lei of that generation's Shrek Seven Monsters had purchased an ancient gold coin and obtained the Little Behemoth, also known as the dragon-eating beast, from within. It was practically a treasure that had fallen from heaven, and even the bag containing the Little Behemoth was an unparalleled treasure.
Unfortunately, the Heavenly Sacred Winged Divine Tiger had entered a deep sleep after its cultivation advanced to ten thousand years. Otherwise, he could have let it take a look.
"Ahhh! I'm so angry! Those damned Sun Moon Federation people have no manners at all! Don't let this princess find out who those bastards are!"
On the road from Spirit Pagoda to Monster Academy on the Star Luo Continent, Dai Yuner had returned in a disheveled state. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, wishing she could bite Feng Zaixing and Yu Xin to death.
Ye Zhi wore a helpless smile as she carried several large bags. "Little Princess, we've been shopping with you from the afternoon until now. You still haven't calmed down?"
Today had been even more pleasant than New Year's for the luxury goods district of Star Luo City. Her Highness Dai Yuner had spent money like water, only stopping when even her Storage Ring could no longer hold everything. She had made an outstanding contribution to Star Luo City's tax revenue.
Teng Teng walked behind them with a large pack on his back, his face full of misery. Fourth Prince, your little sister is truly hard to serve. This is torture. They had not even eaten yet.
Did girls never get tired from shopping? As a Soul Elder, he felt like his legs were about to break from walking, yet Dai Yuner seemed completely unaffected.
"I'm not calming down. And Sister Ye Zhi, Brother Teng Teng, aren't you angry too? Those two were too awful."
Dai Yuner pouted, already branding Feng Zaixing and Yu Xin as terrible villains in her heart.
Ye Zhi and Teng Teng looked at each other speechlessly. Of course Feng Zaixing and Yu Xin had been awful, but since they Could Not Defeat them in direct strength, there was nothing they could say. Who had told them to deliver themselves right to the door?
Outside Monster Academy, traffic flowed endlessly. As Dai Yuner continued muttering under her breath, she caught sight of her fourth brother, Dai Yueyan, speaking anxiously with an imperial physician. Her expression changed, and she hurried over to ask.
"Fourth Brother, what happened? Why are there so many people?"
"We went outside for a practical combat class and were attacked. Your Second Brother and Brother Long were both injured." Dai Yueyan gritted his teeth and said in grief and indignation, "Those damned Green Skull Organization bastards actually dared to ambush us. If Brother Long hadn't blocked that strike for me, you might not be seeing me now..."
Overwhelming hatred burst from the fourth prince's tiger-like eyes. He Clenched Fist tightly and said with grief and fury, "Brother Long is out of danger now, but your Second Brother... Sigh!"
"The Imperial Advisor personally set out in pursuit. I hope there will be good news. We will not rest until we die with those bastards!"
