Chapter 2487 - 2487: Even Blood Brothers Can Be Killed

Watching Wanyan Second Master exit the hall, a cold smile appeared on Wanyan Hongfeng's face. He slowly walked over to sit beside the chair, speaking coldly, "Great deity, now you see, this is how things are done in the Wanyan family. For the family's greatest interest, I can sacrifice even my own brother. Is there anything I wouldn't do? Do you really think I cannot give up this body? I'm telling you, I can abandon this body at any time, I can let this body perish with you at any moment. So, I advise you not to speak nonsense to me. I want your best cultivation method, I also want to become a Five-Winged God!"

Clearly, these words were meant for the Five-Winged God. Actually, as Wanyan Second Master thought, Wanyan Hongsheng's mistake wasn't quite deadly. However, Wanyan Hongfeng chose to send him to the dungeon, aiming to make an example out of him, to show the Five-Winged God his ruthlessness. If he can kill his own brother, what else couldn't he do? He wants this Five-Winged God to know that he can abandon this body at any time.

Of course, Wanyan Hongfeng wasn't truly going to kill Wanyan Hongsheng, after all, that was his own brother. He did this, firstly, as an example, secondly to scare Wanyan Hongsheng. Recently Wanyan Hongsheng had failed at several tasks, which made him quite annoyed. So, he just happened to use this opportunity to frighten Wanyan Hongsheng, teaching him to be careful in the future, and not make similar mistakes.

Wanyan Second Master naturally couldn't know these situations, he still thought Wanyan Hongfeng truly wanted to kill Wanyan Hongsheng. And Wanyan Hongfeng couldn't explain these things to him, once expressed, the Five-Winged God inside would know, which wouldn't have the intended deterrent effect on the Five-Winged God, and that's not the outcome he wants. Therefore, Wanyan Hongfeng simply didn't mention this matter, only letting Wanyan Second Master catch the person.

A moment after Wanyan Hongfeng finished speaking, the voice of the Five-Winged God finally rang out, "No wonder the Wanyan family has reached its current scale, your actions are indeed ruthless. However, I'm still telling you, I can't help you become a Five-Winged God. To become a Five-Winged God, it's not just about cultivation techniques, but also innate talent, and a lot of postnatal conditions. Every Five-Winged God appears among millions, it's not just that teaching you the technique makes you one!"

"You don't need to worry about innate talent and those postnatal conditions, just teach me the technique." Wanyan Hongfeng replied coldly, internally sneering continuously. Because he's very proud of his own talent, he had already become a master of Unity of Heaven and Man before reaching a hundred years old, which is considered outstanding talent. When this Five-Winged God talks about talent, how could he care?

The Five-Winged God fell silent once more, after a while, he spoke, "It's not that I don't want to teach you this technique, I also want you to become a Five-Winged God, then I could escape this situation. But my method is not suitable for your cultivation."

"What's not suitable? If I cultivate it, will I experience Qi Deviation?" Wanyan Hongfeng asked coldly, with a hint of joy, as the Five-Winged God finally showed signs of relenting.

"Not quite that way, just that, this cultivation method might cause changes to your body," the Five-Winged God said, "As you can see, the appearance of the Divine Clan differs from humans. God's bodies are formed to exhibit greater power. If you cultivate the Secret Technique of the Divine Clan, your body is bound to change."

Hearing these words, Wanyan Hongfeng felt much more at ease, saying, "That's my concern, you don't need to worry, just pass the technique to me."

After another period of silence, the Five-Winged God finally asked, "Are you sure you want to learn?"

"I'm very sure!" Wanyan Hongfeng replied affirmatively, "Don't utter these unnecessary words, hurry and pass the technique to me!"

"Alright then!" The Five-Winged God said, "I can pass the technique to you, but there are two things we need to clarify first."

Wanyan Hongfeng couldn't believe the Five-Winged God finally agreed, and his heart surged with joy. He suppressed his inner excitement, saying, "Go ahead."

The Five-Winged God said, "First, remember your promise when I've taught you the technique. Once you become a Five-Winged God, you'll let me go!"

"Of course!" Wanyan Hongfeng laughed, "However, by that time, perhaps my Wanyan family's control over the world will define a new Divine Clan. By then, whether you want to leave or not will be another matter!"

The Five-Winged God was hardly moved by Wanyan Hongfeng's words, coldly continuing, "The second matter is about the very thing I mentioned earlier. My technique is that of the Divine Clan; the cultivation method is different from Huaxia's and has many special aspects. While cultivating, there might be discomfort in your body. However, this is due to the technique's unique aspects. If you can endure, then I can pass it to you. If not, consider what I said was nothing!"

Originally expecting the Five-Winged God to mention other conditions, Wanyan Hongfeng didn't anticipate such a speech. It mattered little to him; the new technique, if it were entirely smooth, he'd be suspicious. The Five-Winged God's words made him feel that the deity had really accepted his fate, thus saying such things.

"You needn't worry about that; as long as you don't tamper with the technique, any discomfort won't be an issue!" Wanyan Hongfeng paused, coldly saying, "However, don't say I didn't warn you. If you tamper with the technique, I swear I'll ensure you suffer a hundredfold of pain!"

The Five-Winged God coldly responded, "Hm, you don't need to scare me, this deity isn't shameless enough to tamper with the technique. Besides, this deity hopes you can become a Five-Winged God and then let me out!"

"Well, it's good that you know." Wanyan Hongfeng chuckled, "Alright, now you can speak; start passing your technique to me."

The Five-Winged God sighed, slowly reciting a set of cultivation techniques. Upon hearing his words, Wanyan Hongfeng paused, saying, "You...what kind of technique is this? Why does it involve absorbing human blood?"

"This is the universal technique of the Dark God Clan, called the Blood Scripture. Human blood is the essence of the human body; absorbing it gathers this essence, simultaneously transforming your body while quickly enhancing strength," the Five-Winged God explained, "My Dark God Clan's cultivation speed far surpasses that of the Light God Clan, because of this Blood Scripture. Once you cultivate, you'll understand how beneficial absorbing human blood is to enhancing power!"

With skepticism, Wanyan Hongfeng noted that while this technique had no particularly distinct elements apart from what he knew, the method of cultivating internal energy was different. But the aspect of absorbing human blood was far too peculiar, he had never heard of it before. Cultivating martial arts, involving human blood absorption? That's just too strange!

After pondering awhile, Wanyan Hongfeng underlined his threat harshly, "You know, if you dare deceive me, your fate will be most tragic!"

The Five-Winged God responded coldly, "Hm, you needn't assault me with these empty threats. Once you start cultivating, you'll come to understand. Once you've cultivated some time, you'll deeply crave human blood, which is the greatest characteristic of the Blood Scripture. You'll then grasp the truth of my words!"

Wanyan Hongfeng didn't say more, slowly stood up, and tapped the communicator on the table. Soon, a frantic man entered outside, bowing, "Family Head, any orders?"

"Bring Second Brother over." Wanyan Hongfeng said coldly.

"Yes!" The man quickly rushed out, before long, Wanyan Second Master rushed inside.

Entering the hall, Wanyan Second Master still bore a smile, since he thought Wanyan Hongfeng had changed his mind and would spare Wanyan Hongsheng.

"Brother, what's the matter?" Wanyan Second Master asked, excitedly looking at Wanyan Hongfeng, hoping he would release Wanyan Hongsheng.

However, in the end, he was disappointed. Wanyan Hongfeng didn't mention Wanyan Hongsheng; instead, he announced loudly, "I need to retreat for a period, during which all family affairs are left to you."

"Huh?" Wanyan Second Master was stunned, he hadn't expected Wanyan Hongfeng called him to not release Wanyan Hongsheng. Even more surprising was Wanyan Hongfeng's sudden retreat. Presently, such a chaotic situation worldwide, Wanyan Hongfeng's retreat, what does it mean?

Wanyan Hongfeng continued, "During my retreat, do not spare Ye Qing and the Sword Saint Sect. Find Ye Qing, recover the Sun Shooting Bow. Also, bring the Sword Saint Sect under our command!"

Wanyan Second Master murmured, "Brother, with your retreat, relying solely on us, this might...might be a bit difficult?"

Wanyan Hongfeng said coldly, "What's difficult about this? Our Wanyan family has six beyond peerless masters; while I retreat, there are still five. Let Corpse Ghost Dragon wield the Minghong Knife's scabbard, that'll keep us invincible. Besides, we have millions of Long-toothed Rats, plus so many peak masters, dealing with the Sword Saint Sect poses no difficulty whatsoever!"

"This…" Wanyan Second Master awkwardly scratched his head, saying, "Then…I'll do my best!"

"Hm!" Wanyan Hongfeng nodded in satisfaction, saying, "Second Brother, your handling, I trust in you. I believe you will not disappoint me. Alright, I won't say more, everything here is handed to you. During my retreat, if there's nothing absolutely urgent, try not to disturb me!"
