Dragon God Supreme-Chapter 37 - 0: Protecting the Feng Family for One Year
Chapter 37: Chapter 037: Protecting the Feng Family for One Year
Huangfu Yunzhong was the Family Head of the Huangfu family, with extremely high cultivation, already at the Seventh Level of the Yuandan Realm.
Whereas Huangfu Liang, being merely at the First Level of the Yuandan Realm, held only average power within the Huangfu family, with many others far surpassing him in strength.
“Zhentian certainly came for the Qi-Condensing Treasure Powder,” Huangfu Liang thought grimly, otherwise Zhentian would never bother coming to a small place like Unmatched City.
Zhentian had indeed come for the Qi-Condensing Treasure Powder, and it seemed he arrived just in time to save Feng Zhengxiong.
“Thank you, Elder, for coming to rescue me!” Feng Zhengxiong hastily expressed his thanks.
Zhentian’s timing could not have been more perfect; had he been half a minute slower, Feng Zhengxiong would likely be dead.
...
Zhentian took out a Healing Pill and handed it to Feng Zhengxiong, saying, “Take this Healing Pill first and treat your injuries.”
Feng Zhengxiong thanked him once again and quickly swallowed the Elixir.
With a cold glance at Zhentian, Huangfu Liang remained unfazed and said evenly, “Zhentian, I know you are highly esteemed in the Empire. In the past, indeed, the Family Head respected you. But times have changed. Not too long ago, our family’s Chief Alchemist broke through to become a Fourth Rank Alchemist. We are not the same as we used to be.”
“Oh? Then congratulations,” Zhentian huffed coldly, utterly unimpressed.
Seeing Zhentian act unbothered, Huangfu Liang’s face darkened even more.
With the appearance of a Fourth Rank Alchemist in the Huangfu family, there was no reason to fear Tianyan Academy anymore, especially considering the Huangfu family had a genius who was a disciple of Tianyun Sect.
Given this connection, why would the Huangfu family fear Tianyan Academy?
“Zhentian, do you really intend to intervene?” Huangfu Liang asked darkly.
Upon hearing this, Zhentian responded coldly, “Feng Wuchen is a student of our academy. Do you think I should intervene? Don’t forget, Huangfu Qing is also at the academy! As long as they are students of the academy, it is our responsibility to take care of them!”
“I forgot to tell you, in a few days, Huangfu Qing and Mo Ling’er will leave the academy. The Sect Master of Tianyun Sect has already agreed to let them join Tianyun Sect!” Huangfu Liang said coldly, smugly smiling.
“Where they choose to go is none of my concern,” Zhentian replied, his expression unchanged, his voice grave, “You ought to return and ask Huangfu Yunzhong if your Huangfu family truly wishes to be enemies with the academy.”
Huangfu Qing and Mo Ling’er going to Tianyun Sect?
Hearing the news, the Feng family and everyone in Unmatched City were shocked.
The entry threshold to Tianyun Sect might not be as demanding as Tianyan Academy, but Tianyun Sect was the premier sect of the Yanhuo Empire, with a discipleship numbered in tens of thousands, indeed a colossal entity.
As long as one was a genius, upon entering Tianyun Sect, limitless cultivation resources would be at disposal, along with the opportunity to cultivate powerful Cultivation Techniques and martial skills, whereas the academy imposes certain limitations, unable to cultivate strong techniques and skills without meeting specific criteria.
More importantly, Tianyun Sect was far more powerful than Tianyan Academy.
The existence of Tianyun Sect was formidable enough that even the imperial family had to tread carefully.
“It seems that the talent from the Huangfu family has arranged for this,” Feng Wuchen speculated in his heart.
“Big brother Feng, if Mo Ling’er enters Tianyun Sect, her cultivation is likely to advance very quickly,” Ling Xiaoxiao murmured softly.
Feng Wuchen replied calmly, “Tianyun Sect is the Empire’s strongest sect. As long as one has talent, Tianyun Sect will nurture them intensively. Given Mo Ling’er’s aptitude, she should receive considerable attention.”
“Are you worried she will seek revenge, Brother Feng?” Ling Xiaoxiao inquired.
“Now that our families have openly become enemies, her retaliation is only to be expected, but as long as I am alive, I will never allow today’s events to happen again!” Feng Wuchen stated calmly, his voice growing firmer toward the end, a fleeting ferocity glinting in his eyes.
Looking at Feng Wuchen, seeing the calm in his expression for the first time, Ling Xiaoxiao could feel his anger and intense longing for power.
“Ah, perhaps Brother Feng never wished for the Feng and Mo families to end up like this, he must be in pain inside. Or maybe from today onward, Brother Feng can let it go,” Ling Xiaoxiao reflected sentimentally.
Life is unpredictable; no one knows what tomorrow may bring.
“Huangfu Liang, go back and tell Huangfu Yunzhong, if he truly wants to be enemies with the academy, I am always ready to receive him. If there’s no one else’s business, leave at once!” Zhentian spoke with a chilling intensity, his formidable aura erupting forth, causing Huangfu Liang’s face to turn pale.
Hearing this, Huangfu Liang looked even more upset. The Huangfu family might not fear Tianyan Academy, but he dared not commit to the idea of being enemies with it.
What was Tianyan Academy? It was the academy of the Yanhuo Empire, home to students from the most talented families across the empire.
Even the Empire’s royal talents were all educated at the academy!
Threatening Tianyan Academy implicated countless families of talents; even with the Tianyun Sect connection, the Huangfu family would not dare to declare themselves enemies of Tianyan Academy.
To be an enemy of Tianyan Academy was tantamount to being an enemy of the Empire. To oppose the Empire meant to be a traitor. The Huangfu family could not bear such a stigma.
“That old fox!” Huangfu Liang cursed to himself, his face contorting in anger.
Mo Kun and the others did not dare to speak out, forcibly suppressing their rage, knowing that though the Huangfu family did not fear Tianyan Academy, it did not mean the Mo family felt the same.
“Hmph!” Huangfu Liang let out a harsh cold snort and then turned to leave. Mo Kun and the others could only silently depart.
The appearance of Zhenyuntian had already sealed their defeat.
“Mo Kun, for all that the Mo Family has done today, someday I will make you pay the price!” Feng Wuchen said coldly, his face expressionless.
Feng Wuchen had originally planned not to act against the Mo Family out of consideration for his acquaintance with Mo Ling’er, but the Mo Family’s aggressive actions against the Feng Family today had thoroughly enraged him.
Feng Wuchen’s calmness surprised both Feng Zhengxiong and Xiao Qingqing.
“Hmph! If you have the ability, then try! I don’t believe that Tianyan Academy can protect the Feng Family forever!” Huangfu Liang said disdainfully.
“Feng Wuchen, you killed my son, Mo Yu. I will grind your bones to dust! I will also use the blood of everyone from your Feng Family for his memorial!” Mo Yuankong said viciously, his mind consumed by thoughts of revenge.
Watching the Mo Family members leave, Feng Zhengxiong then ordered those who were injured to be helped to receive medical treatment and the bloodstains on the streets to be cleaned up.
Yu Wanxiong was seriously injured, having broken several bones, but his life was not in danger.
As for the Lin Family, because of the Yang Family’s interference, they were unable to come to support, but hearing that Feng Zhengxiong and the others were safe, Lin Tianxing was relieved.
In the Feng Family’s main hall, Feng Zhengxiong was hospitably entertaining Zhenyuntian. As an Elder of the Academy and a Fourth Rank Alchemist, Feng Zhengxiong dared not neglect such an esteemed presence.
As soon as Zhenyuntian sat down to drink tea, Feng Wuchen took the initiative and said, “Elder, I know why you’re here. I can take the prescription back for you, but I have a condition.”
Zhenyuntian was slightly taken aback. It wasn’t so much that he was surprised Feng Wuchen had guessed his intention, but rather that Feng Wuchen was being so direct.
“Chen Er, do not be disrespectful to the Elder!” Feng Zhengxiong reprimanded, but he was surprised to find that Feng Wuchen was very calm at the moment.
Xiao Qingqing and Feng Qianyang could tell that after the recent great battle, Feng Wuchen had become extraordinarily calm, his words carrying not even a hint of emotion.
“What condition?” Zhenyuntian asked indifferently, his profound gaze fixed on Feng Wuchen, thinking to himself, “This youngster is eerily calm, his eyes filled with fighting spirit.”
“Protect my Feng Family for one year! One year is enough!” Feng Wuchen said calmly, needing time more than anything else due to his weakness.
Upon hearing this, the Feng Family’s upper echelons were all astounded; the condition Feng Wuchen proposed was unexpected to all of them.
Now that the Feng Family had fallen out with the Mo Family, who were backed by the Huangfu Family, and behind them was the Tianyun Sect—a terrifying support system, the Feng Family would sooner or later fall to the Mo Family without a powerful backer of their own.
“Good! I promise you!” Zhenyuntian agreed without a second thought, not just for the sake of the prescription but also considering Feng Wuchen’s frightening cultivation speed and miraculous methods.

“Thank you, Elder,” Feng Wuchen said gratefully.
With the protection of Tianyan Academy, Feng Wuchen could put his mind at ease regarding the Feng Family.
“The strength of the Feng Family is still too weak. Compared to the large clans, we are like ants, at the mercy of others,” Feng Zhengxiong said with a helpless, wry smile, as everyone could guess Feng Wuchen’s intention.
“If it wasn’t for the Elder stepping in to help today, I’m afraid our Feng Family would have been finished,” said Xiao Qingqing, her face pale with fright as she recalled the close call Feng Zhengxiong had earlier.
Feng Wuchen wrote down the formula on bamboo slips, then handed them to Zhenyuntian.
The Seven Treasures Qi Condensation Powder didn’t mean much to Feng Wuchen; it wasn’t even considered an elixir, so he didn’t take it to heart.
“Father, Mother, Elder, one year is enough time for us to grow stronger. I absolutely will not let today’s events happen again! Absolutely not!” Feng Wuchen said calmly, yet his words were filled with confidence.
“I believe you can do it,” Zhenyuntian said with a nod and a smile.
Seeing the confidence on Feng Wuchen’s face, Feng Zhengxiong and Xiao Qingqing felt extremely comforted.
“I believe in you too!” said Feng Zhengxiong, nodding excitedly.
“Third brother, with your cultivation speed, we all believe in you! Our Feng Family will definitely become stronger!” Feng Yuan said excitedly.
“Feng Brother will definitely make the Feng Family stronger!” Ling Xiaoxiao said with a sweet smile.
“Feng Wuchen, don’t forget to return to the Academy after a year,” Zhenyuntian added lastly before he left the Feng Family.
Having just been through a great battle, with heavy casualties, the Feng Family naturally had many things to deal with. Now that he had secured the prescription, Zhenyuntian had no reason to stay.
“Father, Mother, my master plans to take me out for training. This way, I can grow stronger more quickly,” Feng Wuchen said, very seriously and calmly, the moment Zhenyuntian had left.
Xiao Qingqing sighed lightly, her voice slightly choked, “From your words just now, Mother can tell, but you have never left Mother’s side since you were little, and I can’t bear to let you go.”
By the end, tears were falling down Xiao Qingqing’s face. Feng Wuchen was the youngest son of the Feng Family and the one they cherished the most, not to mention the family’s current peerless genius; naturally, they had their worries for him.
“Chen Er, go without worries, the family here will be fine. Besides, Elder Zhenyuntian has already agreed to protect our Feng Family for one year. I hope that after a year, I can see you return stronger!” Feng Zhengxiong stepped down and looked at Feng Wuchen with earnest expectation.
Watching the hope in Feng Zhengxiong’s eyes, Feng Wuchen’s tears swirled in his eyes as he choked up, “I will not disappoint Father!”
