Chapter 2485 - 2485: Mind Your Own Business

The Divine Clan was very annoyed by Wanyan Hongfeng's threats, and furiously said, "Do you really think I have such great ability to turn you into a Five-Winged God? Do you think becoming a Five-Winged God is that easy? You know, even among the Divine Clan, a Five-Winged God is extremely rare. If anyone could become a Five-Winged God easily, then how could they hold such a revered status within the Divine Clan?"

"Whether you can help me become a Five-Winged God, that's your business. This is just my request; you don't have to cooperate with me." Wanyan Hongfeng said with a slight smile, "However, I stand by what I said. If I can't become a Five-Winged God, then I absolutely won't let you go."

"You..." The Five-Winged God was extremely angry, yet had no way to deal with Wanyan Hongfeng. In fact, as Wanyan Hongfeng said, if he really had the ability to deal with Wanyan Hongfeng, he would have killed him and taken over his body long ago. It was because he didn't have this ability that he spoke so many words earlier, trying to bluff Wanyan Hongfeng into surrendering without a fight. He didn't expect Wanyan Hongfeng to turn the tables, especially since Wanyan Hongfeng was even willing to abandon this body to deal with him, putting him in a passive position.

Honestly, if this Five-Winged God had known Wanyan Hongfeng was such a person before, he definitely wouldn't have hidden inside his body. Now it's come to this, he's essentially trapped in Wanyan Hongfeng's body, and a dignified Five-Winged God being threatened in such a way is unacceptable for him.

"You can take your time to think about this; I'm not in a hurry for you to answer me." Wanyan Hongfeng said, "However, there's something I need to make clear to you. Let me give you some advice: try not to mess around inside my body, like trying to seize control as you did just now. Otherwise, I won't be chatting with you so politely. If you dare to seize my body next time, I'll abandon this body just to waste you first!"

"You dare!" The Divine Clan shouted angrily, but his voice was obviously a bit blusterous. In this situation, he was entirely at Wanyan Hongfeng's mercy. Especially with Wanyan Hongfeng holding the Heavenly Cluster Clouds, he had no grounds to challenge Wanyan Hongfeng anymore.

"You can give it a try." Wanyan Hongfeng calmly replied.

After a long silence, the Divine Clan still didn't dare to try anything, as he really didn't dare to provoke Wanyan Hongfeng in this situation.

Feeling the Divine Clan within him fall silent, a cold smile flashed across Wanyan Hongfeng's face. To be honest, he was indeed very scared just now when the Divine Clan tried to snatch his body. But now, he just felt very lucky because he essentially controlled a Five-Winged God. Although this Five-Winged God had no power, he had many cultivation methods that could enhance the strength of their side. Moreover, this Five-Winged God knew many secrets unknown to others, from which he could gain a lot.

Of course, although Wanyan Hongfeng really wanted to utilize this Five-Winged God, he couldn't rush it. After all, this Five-Winged God was inside his body. Although he spoke grandly, he actually didn't want to give up his body. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he wouldn't abandon his body to deal with the Five-Winged God. What he needed to do now was completely control this Five-Winged God, acquire his cultivation methods, and enhance his own power as much as possible.

People outside didn't know what exactly was happening inside the vehicle; Wanyan Second Master was still carrying out Wanyan Hongfeng's orders. Even though they had already pinpointed Ye Qing's group, Wanyan Hongfeng uncharacteristically didn't go to intercept them, which puzzled the members of the Wanyan Family, not knowing what Wanyan Hongfeng intended to do.

Actually, according to the Wanyan Family's current strategy, the most critical thing was to take down the Sword Saint Sect. The Sword Saint Sect had incredibly strong power and was now the only force in Huaxia capable of contending with them. Once the Sword Saint Sect was subdued, the Wanyan Family would essentially hold the greatest power in Huaxia. Even if there were still people who didn't accept the Wanyan Family, they couldn't do anything because there would be no one left to challenge them.

This time, in the battle at the Thousand Dragon Lake, with the Sword Saint Sect's utter defeat, the morale of the Wanyan Family soared to the peak. The Sword Saint Sect was essentially in a rout, in which case, the most logical move would be to pursue the victory, crush the Sword Saint Sect, and bring them under command. This was the reasoning all members of the Wanyan Family understood, but who could have expected Wanyan Hongfeng to give such an order, choosing not to intercept the Sword Saint Sect? What exactly did he want to do?

The members of the Wanyan Family all speculated about Wanyan Hongfeng's intentions, but no one dared to ask. Currently, the Wanyan Family was under Wanyan Hongfeng's control; even Wanyan Second Master, who was closest to him, dared not ask, let alone others. As for Wanyan Hongfeng's orders, they only had to execute them, keeping their questions to themselves.

That night, the Wanyan Family's people returned to Shenchuan City. At this time, the previous Wan Yan Manor in Shenchuan City had been cleaned by Wanyan Hongsheng and his few remaining subordinates. Moreover, Wanyan Hongsheng was waiting outside the manor to welcome back Wanyan Hongfeng and the others.

Watching the Wanyan Family's convoy arriving from afar, Wanyan Hongsheng's face turned tense. After all, it was due to his actions that Wan Yan Manor turned into its current state. Not only was the manor raided, but most of Wanyan Hongfeng's elite left behind were also killed because of his poor leadership. This was a significant blunder; Wanyan Hongfeng certainly wouldn't spare him.

Actually, after hearing that the battle at the Sword Saint Sect had ended, Wanyan Hongsheng considered fleeing, leaving Huaxia, and hiding his name to avoid punishment. But thinking about the Wanyan Family's plan, how they were about to dominate the world, he couldn't bear to leave. The Wanyan Family's plan had been prepared for a thousand years; they were about to take control of the world. As one of the Wanyan Family's most exalted members, the future luxury and wealth was assured. Hence, he was truly reluctant to leave.

Wanyan Hongsheng had thought it through: no matter how Wanyan Hongfeng punishes him this time, he would endure it. After all, he and Wanyan Hongfeng were brothers; Wanyan Hongfeng surely wouldn't want him dead. Later on, if he could do a few impressive things and earn some merits, his status within the family could be reversed, and life would be easier. If he fled now, he'd be on the run for the rest of his life, a prospect he truly didn't want.

As Wanyan Hongfeng's vehicles reached the gate, Wanyan Hongsheng's hands were drenched in cold sweat. He forced a smile on his face and stepped forward to greet Wanyan Hongfeng, only to find that Wanyan Hongfeng's car didn't stop outside but drove straight past him into the yard, leaving Wanyan Hongsheng extremely embarrassed.

No matter what, Wanyan Hongsheng was still deemed the third most prominent figure in the Wanyan Family. Personally welcoming Wanyan Hongfeng here, even if Wanyan Hongfeng didn't get out of the car, he should have at least stopped for some pleasantries, or at least rolled down the window to greet him. Now, with Wanyan Hongfeng driving straight past without even a hello, one could already see Wanyan Hongfeng's attitude towards him.

The people with Wanyan Hongsheng watched him quietly. They weren't too worried since the incident was mainly due to Wanyan Hongsheng and had little to do with them. Seeing Wanyan Hongfeng's attitude towards Wanyan Hongsheng, everyone was whispering, pondering what kind of punishment Wanyan Hongsheng would face.

Wanyan Hongsheng was extremely embarrassed too, not expecting Wanyan Hongfeng to show him no respect at all. This made him somewhat flustered; Wanyan Hongfeng was showing such an attitude outside, how would he punish him later?

As Wanyan Hongfeng and the entourage's cars entered the manor, Wanyan Second Master's car paused here briefly. Wanyan Second Master rolled down the window, looked at the embarrassed Wanyan Hongsheng, and let out a sigh.

Seeing Wanyan Second Master, Wanyan Hongsheng seemed to find his anchor and hurried to the car window, anxiously saying, "Second Brother, I... I really didn't mean it..."

"I know you didn't mean it, but with so many people left by Big Brother all dead, how do you expect me to explain this?" Wanyan Second Master glared at Wanyan Hongsheng in disappointment and said sternly, "You were too eager for success, seeking merit so much that you disregarded Big Brother's words, ultimately causing so many deaths. Not just Big Brother, even I can't forgive you for this!"

"This..." Wanyan Hongsheng's face turned extremely grim, and he muttered, "Second Brother, what... what does Big Brother mean?"

"What do you think he means?" Wanyan Second Master replied sternly.

"I... I really can't figure out..." Wanyan Hongsheng said awkwardly, taking a deep breath, "Do you... do you think Big Brother will punish me?"

"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?" Wanyan Second Master glared at Wanyan Hongsheng and said sternly, "But let me warn you, Big Brother is really angry about this. After we left the Sword Saint Sect, we should've gone to hunt down Ye Qing and the Sword Saint Sect's people, but Big Brother ignored all that and came directly to Shenchuan City. You should understand just how angry Big Brother is. So when you're in front of him later, watch your words. I really don't know how Big Brother plans to punish you. Anyway, you should take care of yourself!"

Finishing his words, Wanyan Second Master waved his hand, and the driver immediately drove into the manor. Meanwhile, Wanyan Hongsheng was left dumbfounded, completely stunned.
