Chapter 370: The Blood is Ablaze
Seeing Shen Liyang and Wei Lilan's figures disappear one after the other and the house's main door being locked again.
"Snap" went the sound.
Xu Huifang felt as if all the strength in her body had been drained, her hand involuntarily loosened, and the extremely sharp dagger fell to the ground, fresh blood still oozing from her throat.
She staggered toward Xu Nansheng and Xu Ziyi, looking at their shattered kneecaps, her face filled with pain and self-blame. Why had Heaven treated her so? She really must have been blind back then!
Xu Nansheng looked at Xu Huifang, squatting down with red-rimmed eyes, sighed, and said, "Huifang, Ziyi and I are alright. Now is not the time to be sad, nor is it the time to despair. What if Feng can make it here? Regardless, let's hold on till tomorrow before we talk."
"If we can't wait for Feng, then we need not wait for those bastards to make their move, we can end it ourselves. I believe as long as Feng is still alive, he will avenge us. It's just a pity that I won't get to see the Shen Family begging for mercy."
Xu Huifang sniffled. She helped Xu Nansheng and Xu Ziyi to the sofa beside them and tended to their broken kneecaps. The look in her beautiful eyes flickered, and she couldn't help but mutter to herself, "Feng, can you appear this time? I'm so useless as your mother, I should be protecting you. Instead, I need you to protect us. I owe you too much, too much, and I'm afraid I can never repay it in this lifetime."
"If there really is a next life, then I hope I can still be your mother, and in the next life, I will definitely make it up to you, accompanying you as you grow up."
The lights in the room, not very bright, blinked on and off.
This room had not been lived in for a long time, naturally, the electric light was not too reliable.
Xu Huifang, Xu Nansheng, and Xu Ziyi did not speak again. They exchanged glances. What could they do now? They couldn't do anything at all! They could only wait for Shen Feng's arrival.
Outside, the night was pitch-black.
The moon in the sky was obscured by dark clouds, and slowly a cold wind began to rise, it seemed like rain was coming.
At this moment.
Inside the most luxurious villa in the Shen Family estate's great hall.
A white-eyebrowed elder sat on a luxurious sofa, he was the former Family Head of the Martial Arts World's Shen Family, the one who discovered that Shen Feng possessed the Immortal Yuan Blood!
He was now the Supreme Elder of the Martial Arts World's Shen Family, named Shen Qingsong.
Compared to the past, he looked much older. After all, more than twenty years had passed. Still, his complexion was very ruddy, and a strong aura, invisible and untouchable, lingered around him.
Next to Shen Qingsong sat an elder who was much younger than him and a man in his thirties.
The elder, who appeared to be in his sixties and looked much younger than Shen Qingsong, was his son Shen Yanzhou, the current Family Head of the Martial Arts World's Shen Family and the man with the sinister corner in his eyes from back then.
The last one, a man in his thirties, handsome with a very ornate robe, had an unnaturally pale face. He was Shen Qingsong's grandson, Shen Quantian, the five-year-old boy from back then whom White Eyebrow Elder Shen Qingsong had called "Tian'er."
These three were the main culprits who had stolen the Immortal Yuan Blood from Shen Feng's body all those years ago.
Shen Quantian was now known as the First Young Master of the Martial Arts World, with rumors suggesting his cultivation had reached the Middle Stage of Innate, undoubtedly making him the top among the younger generation.
But, except for Shen Qingsong and Shen Yanzhou, no one knew he had been concealing his true cultivation level. The Shen Family possessed secret methods to hide one's cultivation, and in today's Martial Arts World, this was exceedingly rare.
This secret method was inadvertently obtained by Shen Qingsong fifteen years ago.
```
Actually, Shen Quantian's true cultivation had already reached the Innate Peak.
A thirty-year-old Peak Powerhouse, if this news were to spread, then the Martial Arts World would probably completely boil over.
His title as the number one young master of the Martial Arts World would indeed be well-deserved.
Shen Quantian reached the Innate Peak at thirty precisely because he had seized Shen Feng's Immortal Yuan Blood years ago.
Of course, when Shen Qingsong and Shen Yanzhou managed to get their hands on the Immortal Yuan Blood, they were already quite old, so their capacity to merge with it naturally wasn't as good as Shen Quantian's.
However, they had now nearly stepped half way out of the Innate Peak, just a small step away from advancing completely to the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Shen Quantian's face was filled with an air of indifference as he said to Shen Qingsong, "Grandfather, the Shen Family of the Capital City cannot locate a single living person, we have taken quite good care of them over the years. It seems it is time for the Shen Family of the Capital City to change rulers."
Shen Qingsong picked up the teacup on the table in front of him, blew on it, then took a sip, and as the fragrant tea slid down his throat into his stomach, he calmly said, "Tian'er, be patient, as long as that boy is still alive, sooner or later he will fall into our hands. It's just that I don't know if he has regenerated the Immortal Yuan Blood in his body."
Shen Yanzhou said with a stern face, "Tian'er, listen to your grandfather. You are too hasty in your actions. Someday the entire Earth will be under our control. Let's extract the bone marrow from Xu Huifang and the others tomorrow."
"It's very likely that they've resumed their cultivation path because of the Immortal Yuan Blood. If their bodies have indeed produced Immortal Yuan Blood, then their bone marrow must have changed, and the marrow containing elements of the reborn Immortal Yuan Blood can be said to be the essence."
Shen Quantian furrowed his brow and said, "But, back then, Xu Nansheng and Xu Ziyi didn't have the Immortal Yuan Blood!"
Shen Yanzhou replied, "Tian'er, nothing is absolute. Since Shen Feng and Xu Huifang's bodies could produce Immortal Yuan Blood, it's possible that Xu Nansheng and Xu Ziyi's bodies might suddenly do so too. Generally, Immortal Yuan Blood is present at birth, but that's not always the case."
Shen Qingsong nodded and said, "Tian'er, be patient. We must act with reason and evidence. We are here to handle some people because of the deaths of Shen Tianzhi and the Fifth Elder. We have always been reasonable and don't kill unreasonably. Everything will become clear tomorrow."
"At all the major international airports across the country, I have already arranged for some people. The moment Shen Feng shows up, I will immediately know."
...
Time fast forwarded.
One hectic night passed by quickly.

When the sun began to rise high, the city of the Capital City was already bustling with activity.
An international flight from abroad landed steadily at Capital City International Airport.
Shen Feng and Xia Baikang along with others stepped down from the plane.
Setting foot on the land of the Capital City, Shen Feng couldn't help but recall the scene of his infant self being drained of blood by the White Eyebrow Elder Shen Qingsong and others.
Although his temperament had become very strong, the grievance of blood drained had to be avenged.
On the surface he seemed very calm, but inside his body, a killing intent was already surging.
Blood had been ignited!
It called for endless slaughter to quell!
