Urban's Fury: The War Dragon God
Chapter 1748: Sikong Yu’s Worries
Xu Kaishan stood up and walked towards Li Feng.
People around them frowned. Was this man still unconvinced?
Li Feng also noticed Xu Kaishan coming over, and furrowed his brows slightly. Was he unconvinced and planning to fight again?
But when Xu Kaishan approached, he suddenly clasped his fist: "Besides the former Flag Master, I, Xu Kaishan, have never submitted to anyone, but today I concede."
"You indeed have the capital to be arrogant. From today onward, I, Xu Kaishan, am willing to charge into battle for the Flag Master."
With that, Xu Kaishan directly knelt on one knee, pledging allegiance to Li Feng.
"This Xu Big Eyes, really has no shame."
Yue Shan and the others looked at Xu Kaishan kneeling directly, showing disdain. When contending for the Flag Master position with them, this guy was unyielding, stubborn as his axe. But now, he knelt faster than anyone.
Though they spoke like this, Yue Shan and the others were powerless to change things. In the Nine Layers Mountain, power speaks volumes, and Li Feng defeating them one against five, complete victory, left no room for argument.
Yue Shan took a deep breath and stepped forward, "Yue Shan greets the Flag Master."
Seeing Yue Shan lower his head, Hu Feiqi, Peng Hai, and Liang Hongying exchanged glances, and all stepped forward to greet.
This is the rule, the victor becomes king.
Seeing the five Generals submit, all the lesser Generals and even the warriors in the Vermilion Bird Camp pounded their chests in a Guard salute.
"Greetings to the Flag Master."
Initially, only a few dozen voices were in unison, but soon hundreds to thousands joined in. These were men practicing martial arts, and the synchronized voice of thousands echoed like a bell. It could even be heard by the Azure Dragon Camp and White Tiger Camp on the east and west sides.
Seeing Li Feng become the people’s favored choice, Qing Yi, the sidekick of Sikong Yu, pursed her lips and unhappily slipped back to the White Tiger Camp.
"Miss, something bad has happened."
Qing Yi lifted the tent flap and entered. Although the tent was small, it was fully equipped. Looking at Sikong Yu holding a book scroll, Qing Yi, slightly breathless, spoke.
"Li Feng became the Flag Master?"
Sikong Yu raised her eyes and said.
"Ah, Miss, you already know?" Qing Yi said.
Sikong Yu put down the book scroll, "With such a commotion in the Vermilion Bird Camp, it’s hard not to know. Besides, the five Generals in the Vermilion Bird Camp have similar strengths, and it’s not easy to distinguish between primary and secondary."
"But now the camp is filled with cheers for the Flag Master, leaving only one possibility, that Li Feng subdued these five Generals. After defeating them, there should be no objections from anyone in the Vermilion Bird Camp."
Sikong Yu analyzed and looked at Qing Yi, "Tell me the specifics."
Qing Yi pursed her lips, "Miss got it almost right, but this Li Feng is really more powerful than expected. He actually challenged all five at once. Originally, I thought he would surely lose, but he used the innate ability of the Vermilion Bird Bloodline."
"He was initially getting beaten, but suddenly sprang back to life as if reborn and then swept across the dazed five Generals."
Sikong Yu responded with an "oh": "The Vermilion Bird Undying Body, huh."
Sharing the Vermilion Bird Bloodline, and with the Sikong family inheriting it for thousands of years, Sikong Yu, the legitimate eldest daughter, was well aware of how many bloodline talents the Vermilion Bird Bloodline could awaken.
Besides, the intelligence from the Underground Palace City battle had reached her ears long ago, although the news was delayed on the Nine Layers Mountain side, and many didn’t know yet.
"Miss, how could this obscure person from the Nine Streams awaken the Vermilion Bird Bloodline, and not only that, awaken such a formidable talent? He’s actually more impressive than the legitimate sons of the family."
"Only the Miss can match him."
Qing Yi raised her eyes to look at her lady.
Sikong Yu shook her head lightly, "This Li Feng constantly surprises me. I initially thought that even though his bloodline was awakened, it would take at least three to five years to grow. But in just ten days to half a month, he’s defied my expectations."
"Perhaps, I can’t delay any longer."
Sikong Yu knew that Li Feng was now a hot commodity. Initially, when Li Feng had just awakened his bloodline, he might have been noticed by their family, but without understanding where Li Feng came from, the Sikong family would not act rashly.
Moreover, the women in the family wouldn’t think of marrying this Li Feng, as someone from the unsophisticated Nine Streams couldn’t possibly match the noble Sikong family.
But after the Underground Palace City battle, where Li Feng surpassed the bloodline limits at the brink of life and death, even being possessed by the Vermilion Bird and sweeping across his enemies, he suddenly became highly sought after.
Her half-sister was already enamored.
Now Li Feng has entered the Nine Layers Mountain, one of the top ten Sects, and has been evaluated as a Commander in the Martial Strategy Hall. Now he has won the title of Flag Master of the Vermilion Bird Camp by his strength.
His previously humble background is no longer an obstacle and even adds to his appeal. A supreme genius emerging from humble beginnings, such people have been throughout history, and they always create a tide in the era.
Though the Sikong family has a special interest due to the Vermilion Bird Bloodline, Li Feng does not inevitably belong to the Sikong family.
The Sikong family is indeed one of the twenty-two First Rank families, prominent in Ancestor Dragon City, but there are twenty-one other families at the same level, not to mention the eight Royal Families above.
These families would also be interested in Li Feng. After all, winning over Li Feng might mean their descendants inherit the Vermilion Bird Bloodline, and it’s clear to other families how the Sikong family rose to prominence.
Therefore, with an additional branch possessing the Vermilion Bird Bloodline, these families would certainly be very interested. Besides, within these families, there are many offspring, and not all are legitimate daughters. The positions of secondary and illegitimate daughters in the family are not high.
So to tie down a supreme genius, each family would not be stingy with their daughters.
Sikong Yu, although priding herself on her outstanding looks and top-tier family background, realized through several interactions with Li Feng that he was not a man who would easily succumb to such allure.
Much less marry into the family.
While Sikong Yu was worrying about Li Feng, Li Feng was led to his residence, the core of the Vermilion Bird Camp, the Flag Master Mansion.
