“So what’s Senior planning to do?” Yun Lintian asked.
A look of determination appeared on Guchang’s face for a short moment and disappeared. He let out a long, helpless sigh. “It’s fine if I am alone, but I’m clearly not. My father has sacrificed everything in order to keep me and everyone here safe. I cannot drag everyone down because of my hatred… I can kill a few dogs at most as I did before.”
Yun Lintian nodded in an understanding manner. People here had been living under this condition for too long, and they were used to it already. Even if they genuinely wanted to take revenge and return to the glorious past, they didn’t have the courage to do so.
Yun Lintian thought for a moment and asked cautiously. “Senior, what would happen if the bloodline seal is lifted?”
During these two weeks, Yun Lintian had studied a lot about the bloodline seal, and he had already found a way to lift the seal. After learning what Guchang’s father did, Yun Lintian had the intention of helping Guchang. That was why he asked this.
A strange light flashed through Guchang’s eyes as he looked at Yun Lintian. “For us born in half-human and half-profound beast, we are, in fact, not much different from the true profound beast. Our talent is defined by the purity of the bloodline. That is to say, without the bloodline, we are nothing but slightly above average humans at best.”
“Once the blood seal is lifted, our talent will return, allowing us to unleash our true strength. Throughout the history of our Crimson Ox Clan, the main lineage has always been the dominating side. Those people from the collateral lineage could never be compared to us.”
Guchang paused and asked directly, with a hint of expectation in the depth of his eyes. “Can you lift the seal?”
Yun Lintian did not hide it. “I indeed have a way. However, once the seal is lifted, I’m afraid those people will detect it.”
“Really!? You can do it?” Guchang lost his calm upon hearing this. He completely ignored the second sentence, as it didn’t matter. As long as the bloodline seal was gone, does he need to fear anyone?
“Technically, yes. I need to try first.” Yun Lintian didn’t lie about it. After all, he had never done it before.
Guchang’s complexion flushed with excitement. His hands involuntarily clenched into fists. He had dreamed about this countless times, and now the opportunity appeared in front of him. He was unwilling to give up.
He took a deep breath to calm down and said with a solemn expression. “I know it’s a shame to ask this after everything you have done, but can you please help me again? If I am fortunate enough to take back what belongs to us, I will give everything I have, even my life.”
“Senior Guchang’s words are too heavy. Helping you doesn’t cost me anything. Besides, we didn’t know yet whether it works or not.” Yun Lintian could understand Guchang’s feeling well.
Yun Lintian decided to help Guchang out because he felt it was a good investment. It was uncertain whether Guchang could take back the Crimson Ox Clan, but once he succeeded, Yun Lintian would gain a powerful ally in the Western Continent.
Guchang nodded his head heavily without saying anything further, as it was unnecessary to express his gratitude over again.
“Brother Mu, Father! I’m back!” Fan suddenly walked into the house with a giant wild boar on his back. Since the relationship between Yun Lintian and him got better, he changed the way he called Yun Lintian from Benefactor Mu to Brother Mu.
Fan threw the wild boar onto the ground and said happily. “Look at what I got today. I found this at the back of the village.”
Yun Lintian and Guchang smiled. During this period, Fan had become more lively, entirely different from the past when he was shrouded with a gloomy aura all day long.
As Yun Lintian was about to say something, Linlin, who was lying on Yun Lintian’s lap, suddenly sent a sound transmission to Yun Lintian. “Big Brother Yun, there’s Abyssal Energy in this wild boar.”
Yun Lintian’s expression changed slightly, and he quickly opened Eyes of Heaven. A small group of black energy immediately appeared in his vision. Judging from its appearance, this wild boar should get it recently as the Abyssal Energy hadn’t yet wholly spread to every part of the wild boar’s body.
Guchang noticed the slight change in Yun Lintian’s expression. He couldn’t help asking. “What’s wrong, Little Brother Mu?”
Yun Lintian looked at Fan and asked with a serious tone. “Have you found any other beasts nearby?”
Hearing this, Fan looked at Yun Lintian in puzzlement while replying. “No. There’s only this wild boar around that place.”
Yun Lintian touched his chin, thinking for a moment, and turned to Guchang. “Senior, have you ever heard about Abyssal Poison?”
Guchang’s pupils shrank instantly. He quickly waved his hand and brought Fan to his side before checking Fan’s body carefully. Soon, he heaved a sigh of relief and said. “Thankfully, you are fine.”
Fan was even more confused by his father’s action. “What’s going on, Father?”
Guchang didn’t reply immediately and turned to look at the wild boar. A moment later, he waved his hand, and the wild boar instantly spread into two pieces. At this time, a gloomy black aura gradually floated out of the wild boar’s body.
Fan was shocked upon seeing this. He could feel an extreme danger coming from the black aura. “W-what is that?”
“Abyssal Poison,” Guchang said with a heavy expression. “How could it appear again?” .
Yun Lintian used his profound energy to envelope the black aura before sprinkling some of Profound Spiritual Liquid on it. Instantly, the black aura disappeared completely.
This action surprised Guchang. He didn’t know before the Abyssal Energy could be dealt with by the Profound Spirit Liquid.
Upon seeing there was no single trace of Abyssal Energy left, Yun Lintian turned to Guchang. “So, Senior knows about it.”
