Chapter 958 - 301: The Presence Within the Bloodline (Part 5)

Each person threw out various conditions, either enticing or threatening, wanting Xu Zhan to hand over the Blood of Dominator.

However, none of the people in the city were naive junior cultivators. After two hundred years of ups and downs, they had seen the cruelty of the cultivation realm and experienced countless deceptions.

How could they believe these people’s words?

"Fellow Daoist Shen Li."

Just as many old monsters outside the light shield were babbling out conditions, two young figures suddenly appeared outside the Dominator’s phantom.

"We have had a brief encounter before, and later Fellow Daoist Shen Li even sent a message to Ning Zhen inquiring about the Mountain Moving Technique."

Outside the Dominator’s phantom, Ning Zhen from the Cyan Moon Dao Sect spoke softly.

Within the phantom, Shen Li quietly watched her without speaking.

Ning Zhen spoke again, "You should understand our Cyan Moon Dao Sect’s style of dealing with matters, fellow daoist."

"Ning Zhen won’t say much about reputation, but the Cyan Moon Dao Sect is at least better than most of the powers present."

"My master said that if fellow daoist hands over the Blood of Dominator to our Cyan Moon Dao Sect, we are willing to reserve a Supreme Elder seat for the Shen Family for generations."

"The power of the Supreme Elder is second only to the Sect Leader; all the Dao Source cultivation techniques of our Cyan Moon Dao Sect can be freely accessed by the Shen Clan members."

"Various resources, magical treasures, and spirit pills, the Shen Clan members also enjoy priority distribution rights."

After Ning Zhen finished speaking, a group of old monsters outside glared angrily at each other.

But noticing the figure not far from Ning Zhen, wearing a cyan Dao robe with a long sword on their back, among these old monsters, only the elders from Cang Kong Mountain and Daqu Secret Realm dared to argue a couple of points, while the rest didn’t dare say a word.

"You can see it, right?"

Shen Wenxing spoke in a low voice, "Among the forces present, the Cyan Moon Dao Sect should be in the leading tier."

"The only ones expected to be able to wrestle with them are Cang Kong Mountain and Daqu Secret Realm."

"The other forces offering conditions and threats should be the second tier."

"As for those who didn’t speak, probably not very strong."

Shen Wen’an nodded.

He had been in the city all along.

Earlier, the Cyan Moon Dao Sect clashed with a force called Golden Palace Secret Realm over the Dragon Tamer’s Mansion on Hidden Dragon Mountain.

Now the people from Cyan Moon Dao Sect appeared here, but the Golden Palace Secret Realm people were missing.

That battle clearly was won by Cyan Moon Dao Sect.

Now, the Cyan Moon Dao Sect not only occupies the Dragon Tamer’s Mansion but also extends their reach to the Blood of Dominator, proving their confidence in their own strength.

"None of these forces are easy to deal with."

"Although there’s the protection of the Dominator’s phantom now, no one can guarantee if the phantom can withstand the repeated strikes of these Nascent Soul True Monarchs."

"It might be possible to use this opportunity to delay things a bit longer."

After a moment’s thought, Shen Wenxing spoke, "When Qi Buyu from Longevity Pavilion self-destructed, although Xu Xiu had taken action."

"But the Dao Source from Yangnao Land hasn’t been completely extracted yet, it’s likely he’s unable to spare himself."

Shen Li picked up the topic, "Then let’s just continue stalling for now."

"But these old guys have lived for hundreds and even thousands of years, they’re not easy to deceive."

"Especially since they’ve just seen Elder Xu take action, they likely won’t give us much time."

Shen Wen’an sighed, "Being able to delay a day is a day."

"I wonder if elder brother and Xu Zhan have met their doom, and what exactly counts as successfully overcoming a doom."

After another round of silence among the four, Shen Wen’an suppressed his doubts, flashed into the void, and looked at everyone through the light shield of the Dominator’s phantom, saying, "The conditions of your excellencies will be discussed with the elders of my family, and a decision on what to do will be communicated later."

"I hope you can patiently wait."

Upon hearing this, the group of old monsters outside the phantom showed different expressions.

Most of them could guess it was the Shen family’s delay strategy, but now, unable to break this strange phantom light shield, it seemed they had no choice but to wait.

In case the other party is indeed scared and contemplates surrender by offering the treasure blood.

At this time, reputation and conditions become very important.

Hence, one by one they politely cupped their hands in salute, smiling and saying things like "No rush, no rush" and "Certainly, certainly."

"Truly despicably hypocritical!"

"These old immortals, their eyes are itching to swallow me whole..."

Listening to the words of the old monsters outside the phantom, and noticing their burning gazes, Xu Zhan muttered softly.

...

Seven Sages Mountain Secret Realm.

Shen Chongming sat cross-legged in front of the massive Thunder Pool stone inscription, with large amounts of electric glows from his body constantly probing into the center of that Thunder Pool in the inscription.

He had indeed been quite tricked by those thunderous creatures.

Wasted a lot of time treating this inscription as a magical treasure for refinement.

The result was that he tried various refinement methods several times, but was never able to refine the inscription.

Concerned about the safety of Yunshui City and his family, just as Shen Chongming was about to give up, he accidentally noticed the Thunder Pool in the inscription, and with a sudden inspiration, he struck it with a streak of lightning.

It was when he saw the Thunder Pool respond that he finally found the proper method to refine the inscription.

For more than a month now, as he continued injecting large amounts of thunder power into the Thunder Pool.

That Thunder Pool clearly showed signs of separating from the inscription.

Massive thunderous snakes flew from Shen Chongming’s body, entering the square foot Thunder Pool, causing its surface to emit a faint glow, like a jade cauldron carved from sapphire.

"It should be nearly done..."
