Chapter 916: Chapter 916: Maneuvering
Ji Fenglie was in a great mood at this moment. Qi Tianxin and the Ten Great Families were utterly fooled by him; although they knew he was in the Tear Luo Desert, they could not block him and were repeatedly slipped away from.
"The Great Demon is truly beyond imagination. I thought I already had exceptional talent, but compared to him, I still fall short." Ji Fenglie looked at the Grand Saint sitting cross-legged on another lotus leaf, feeling slightly complicated.
Initially, he believed he had already highly valued Chen Guan, but upon witnessing the abilities of the Grand Saint Taihu and Tailian, he realized he had underestimated.
A mere human could make these top-tier Secret Spirits obediently follow orders, even a Celestial King might not be able to accomplish that.
It’s not just about having these Secret Spirits obey; even killing them is not an easy task. At least Ji Fenglie was very clear that his own power might not surpass any of them.
To kill such cherished Secret Spirits is already an extremely difficult task; having them follow your command is even harder.
"The Great Demon truly lives up to the name Great Demon," Ji Fenglie secretly marveled.
What Chen Guan did, some of which he dared to imagine but not dare to do, some he didn’t even think of.
Slaying top-tier Secret Spirits to acquire top-tier pets; Ji Fenglie did consider it, but taming top-tier Secret Spirits was simply not something humans do, he never thought about it.
Experts from Qi Tianxin and the Ten Great Families were in the Tear Luo Desert, searching for Ji Fenglie’s tracks.
Previously, they couldn’t find any trace of Ji Fenglie, using various methods of localization, yet unable to find him.
Even Qi Tianxin’s All Under Heaven failed to bring Ji Fenglie out.
But a few days ago, someone actually used the bloodline localization method to determine Ji Fenglie’s location.
This bloodline localization method uses the blood of direct relatives to pinpoint a person’s position.
However, this technique requires blood from relatives within three generations.
It’s definitely not feasible to locate the Great Demon, but there’s someone among the existing Ji Family elders with blood ties to Ji Fenglie, and using his blood positioned Ji Fenglie.
Everyone thought this was the only feasible method, but in truth, it was because Ji Fenglie had emerged from the Secret Realm Pearl, allowing the bloodline localization technique to function.
Now, using other methods to find Ji Fenglie would equally be successful.
Because Chen Guan didn’t intend to let Ji Fenglie hide his whereabouts anymore, even if others used different abilities to track him, it didn’t matter, it was just a matter of when they would realize this.
These days, they followed the bloodline localization method, but still couldn’t catch up to Ji Fenglie. freewebnovel.cσ๓
However they surrounded and intercepted, they still couldn’t pin down Ji Fenglie.
Qi Tianxin came to the Tear Luo Desert too, but he arrived only as an illusionary projection, not in person.
After yet another empty pursuit, Qi Tianxin’s gaze lingered on the place where Ji Fenglie should have been, frowning as if pondering something.
"Old Qi, did you discover anything?" Feng Wenzheng approached; they were responsible for this direction, but they failed to intercept Ji Fenglie, not even seeing him.
"Despite numerous attempts, we haven’t seen Ji Fenglie. Can the bloodline localization technique really pinpoint him?" Qi Tianxin said absent-mindedly without shifting his gaze.
"There’s indeed traces of Primordial Energy fluctuations there, it shouldn’t be wrong. This further confirms Ji Fenglie is likely with the Great Demon; otherwise, with his skills alone, he couldn’t evade us all," Feng Wenzheng replied.
"The Primordial Energy fluctuations don’t belong to Ji Fenglie, but to say they belong to the Great Demon, that’s uncertain too," Qi Tianxin pondered as he sensed.
"If not the Great Demon’s, then whose could it be?" Feng Wenzheng asked puzzled. "The Great Demon saved Ji Fenglie from the Ji Family; many witnessed it, it shouldn’t be wrong."
"They only saw someone use the Celestial Demon Disintegration Technique; they didn’t see that person was the Great Demon," Qi Tianxin replied.
"What do you mean?" Feng Wenzheng pressed on.
"Perhaps that person merely knows the Celestial Demon Disintegration Technique but isn’t the Great Demon himself," Qi Tianxin explained.
"Besides the Great Demon, who else in the world can use the Celestial Demon Disintegration Technique?" Feng Wenzheng couldn’t think of anyone.
"I mentioned before, I saw Chen Guan’s Celestial Destiny Star; it’s the Demon Star," Qi Tianxin revealed.
Feng Wenzheng shook his head with a bitter smile, "You say Chen Guan is the descendant of the Great Demon, but most Families won’t believe it; even if some do, considering Chen Guan’s current relations with several Families and his position in the Ancestral Court, no one would really make a move against him."
"So what you mean is, the one who saved Ji Fenglie is Chen Guan?" Feng Wenzheng added.
"They don’t believe, that’s their foolishness. The Ten Great Families will fall because of the Demon Child, that’s the Ghost Daoist’s prophecy. If they don’t eliminate Chen Guan early, they’ll face backlash later," Qi Tianxin said calmly.
Feng Wenzheng shook his head, choosing not to say more, thinking Qi Tianxin was a bit obsessed.
He spoke words no one would believe, only thinking he wanted to settle a personal vendetta, given his deep-seated grudge with Chen Guan; wanting to drag Chen Guan down was quite normal.
Qi Tianxin also knew that no one would believe him now, and his current circumstances made it difficult to rally a large number of strong individuals.
Not even the Feng Family believed him, let alone other families.
But Qi Tianxin felt certain this matter involved Chen Guan, particularly since Feng Wuci disappeared while going to trouble Chen Guan’s parents.
The Feng Family investigated the Chen Family too; everything was normal at Chen Guan’s home; Chen Xinghe and Chen Yulian showed no abnormalities, nor were there signs of a fight at the Chen Family, and there was no trace of Feng Wuci’s presence sensed. Hence, they concluded it wasn’t related to Chen Guan’s family; they assumed Ji Fenglie ambushed him en route to the Chen residence.
But Qi Tianxin felt the incident was too coincidental and far too simple.
He couldn’t persuade the Ten Great Families himself, so he’d act alone instead. Previously, Feng Wuci took the last Ninth Awakening cultivator team to the Chen Family, and none returned. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
No matter if it’s Chen Guan or not, to rescue Feng Wuci, they must find Ji Fenglie.
Chen Guan was growing quickly, and if indeed related to Chen Guan, this might be his last chance to kill him.
Given time, Chen Guan would possibly grow to a point where he couldn’t be killed.
"Whatever the case, we must find him first." Qi Tianxin withdrew his gaze, turning to Feng Wenzheng: "Wenzheng, could you do me a favor?"
"What kind of favor? You know my authority within the Feng Family is limited, and I must act on orders..." Feng Wenzheng hesitated.
"I need to use All Under Heaven again, forcibly summon Ji Fenglie," Qi Tianxin stated.
"Didn’t it fail in the past?" Feng Wenzheng frowned.
"It failed previously, but might not necessarily fail now," Qi Tianxin replied, looking at Feng Wenzheng. "The bloodline localization’s success perhaps signifies that the forces protecting Ji Fenglie have lost effectiveness, not that only the bloodline technique works."
"So you mean, have everyone gather, to prevent Ji Fenglie’s escape after summoning him?" Feng Wenzheng grasped Qi Tianxin’s intention.
"Nobody believes me now, so only you can manage this," Qi Tianxin stated firmly.
"Alright, I’ll try, but I can’t guarantee convincing everyone," Feng Wenzheng met Qi Tianxin’s gaze for a long time, gritted his teeth and agreed.
