Chapter 2913 How Dare You Hit Me!?
Chapter 2913 How Dare You Hit Me!?
Under normal circumstances, with the Dark Pufferfish's strength, they would not have the qualifications to cooperate with the Bloodians due to their strength. However, their poison could create great value for the Bloodians.
With the Four Species Overlords of the Lonely River falling out with the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves, the Andra clan would definitely attack the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves in order to appease the anger of the Four Species Overlords.
At present, Feng Qing no longer dared to put on airs. He turned to look at the newly promoted confidant behind him, "Bring Fan Lou here!"
As Feng Qing spoke, he shot a look at this member of the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves. However, this confidant, who had just been promoted by Feng Qing, was currently in a flustered state. Feng Qing could clearly feel that his newly promoted confidant had failed to grasp his intentions. If it were Fan Lou, he would definitely understand what his hint meant.
His newly promoted confidant proved ineffective. As the captain of the Forbidden Wolf Team, Feng Nuo should understand the importance of helping Fan Lou recover before bringing him there to ensure that the members of the Four Species Overlords wouldn't notice anything amiss on the surface. This way, they could also appease the anger of the Dark Pufferfish to a certain extent.
There was no direct connection between the other three species of the Lonely River and Fan Lou. As long as the Dark Pufferfish did not pursue this matter, it would be considered over. That was what Feng Qing thought in his heart. However, looking at the Dark Pufferfish envoy's behavior, it was obvious that this matter was not as simple as it seemed. Ink Scar's stance made it clear that he wanted to support Fan Lou.
Feng Qing was furious that the Four Species Overlords of the Lonely River had come to him to seek revenge for Fan Lou. After all, Fan Lou was also a member of the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves. It was only because he had been promoting Fan Lou that Fan Lou had so many opportunities.
Ink Scar's actions had crossed the line. No matter what, the Dark Pufferfish should not interfere in the internal affairs of the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves. Despite his rage, Feng Qing had to face the members of the Four Species Overlords with a smile.
Before Feng Qing could say anything, Feng Xuan, who had been slapped by Ink Scar, shouted angrily, "How dare you hit me?! Do the Four Species Overlords of the Lonely River know whose territory the Scarlet Territory belongs to? I've already pledged allegiance to His Excellency Black Elise. Aren't you afraid of offending His Excellency Black Elise and causing his dissatisfaction, leading to retaliation?! The Elise clan is a Bloodian clan with the bloodline of the queen!"
Since the Andra clan was already dissatisfied with the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves, Feng Qing could no longer abandon his relationship with the Four Species Overlords of the Lonely River.
Before Feng Qing could say anything, Feng Xuan, who had been slapped by Ink Scar, shouted angrily, "How dare you hit me?! Do the Four Species Overlords of the Lonely River know whose territory the Scarlet Territory belongs to? I've already pledged allegiance to His Excellency Black Elise. Aren't you afraid of offending His Excellency Black Elise and causing his dissatisfaction, leading to retaliation?! The Elise clan is a Bloodian clan with the bloodline of the queen!"
Having obtained great benefits from Feng Qing under the Elise clan's name, Feng Xuan had developed the habit of using the Elise clan's name when he encountered trouble.
Fan Lou had already told him not to care about Feng Xuan's backing. Even if they really offended the Elise clan, Ink Scar was willing to go to great lengths to support them.
Firstly, the life and death of the Dark Pufferfish was under Lin Yuan's control and had nothing to do with the Elise clan. Furthermore, if he offended a powerful species for the sake of Lin Yuan's plan, it would be equivalent to him having successfully helped Lin Yuan. The stronger the faction he offended, the more Lin Yuan would owe him a favor!
Ink Scar said with a sinister smile, "Our Dark Pufferfish has never had any contact with the so-called Elise clan. So what if the Four Species Overlords of the Lonely River offended one of the Bloodians? It was the Bloodians who begged us to trade with us. You're not a member of the Bloodians, yet you keep mentioning the Elise clan. Are you abandoning your identity as a Chaos Wind Demon Wolf?!"
Ink Scar looked down on Feng Xuan. It wasn't a bad thing for Feng Xuan to find someone to rely on and climb up the ranks. However, Feng Xuan should never have, under any circumstances, jeopardized the interests of the clan. Yet, his actions against Fan Lou clearly showed a lack of regard for the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves.
Ink Scar had interacted with Feng Qing more than once, and he could sense that Feng Qing had always wanted to be on good terms with the Lonely River's Four Species Overlords. If it wasn't for the fact that Ink Scar had come over to coordinate with Fan Lou's operation, he might really have been moved by Feng Qing's sincerity.
Ink Scar's words were targeted not only at Feng Xuan but also at Feng Qing. Feng Xuan's outburst was one thing, but had Feng Qing been able to control Feng Xuan well, many of the problems wouldn't have happened.
Feng Qing's expression was already unpleasant to begin with, but Ink Scar's words made it even worse.
Feng Xuan was stunned by Ink Scar's words. This was the first time Feng Xuan had failed to achieve the desired effect using the Elise clan's name.
Feng Xuan said fiercely, "Is your Dark Pufferfish challenging the authority of the Elise clan by saying this?"
If Feng Xuan wanted to seek protection from the Elise clan, he naturally had to involve the Elise clan in this matter. For the sake of prestige and reputation, the Elise clan would have no choice but to protect him.
Feng Xuan was not aware that Andre had already asked Lin Yuan through Yi Xue, nor was he aware that he had always been Lin Yuan's pawn. The tiger had already bared its sharp claws at Feng Xuan, so he naturally could no longer seek shelter under its skin.
Upon receiving Lin Yuan's reply, Andre immediately rushed to Feng Qing's residence. As soon as Andre entered, he heard that Feng Xuan was using the Elise clan to threaten the Dark Pufferfish, both of whom were important partners of the Andra clan.
The energy in Andre's body surged, and scarlet ripples surged from his body. All the blood in Feng Xuan's body turned into a sharp sword, flowing backward into Feng Xuan's heart and piercing it like a sieve.
With just one strike, Andre had ended Feng Xuan's life. He did not want to give Feng Xuan a chance to quibble. Lin Yuan had no reason to lie. Hence, Feng Xuan must be lying.
Feng Xuan was originally questioning Ink Scar, putting on an extremely high stance. His sudden death shocked Feng Qing, Ink Scar, and the other members present.
Feng Qing had already sensed Andre's presence when he came in. When Andre suddenly acted against Feng Xuan, he immediately grasped the situation. It meant that Feng Xuan did not have much of a relationship with the Elise clan. Otherwise, even if it was for the glory of the Elise clan, Andre would not have done anything to Feng Xuan.
Feng Qing had long noticed that the Andra clan's relationship with the Elise clan was one-sidedly ambiguous. If the Andra clan did not care about the Elise clan, they wouldn't have directed their anger towards the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves due to Feng Xuan's attempts to gain favor with Lin Yuan.
This situation was the most disadvantageous for Feng Qing and the entire Chaos Wind Demon Wolves. Feng Qing had been deceived by Feng Xuan, which meant that he had made all the wrong judgments. Just over an hour ago, Feng Qing had just offended the Four Species Overlords of the Lonely River because of Feng Xuan's deception.
Andre ignored Feng Xuan and addressed Ink Scar and the other members of the Four Species Overlords of the Lonely River, "I wasn't aware of the situation with the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves previously. Now that I know, I'll ensure that they give you an explanation! Why don't you follow me to the meeting hall? I'll personally bring Fan Lou to the meeting hall to meet you later! Even if it consumes the Andra clan's resources, we will help Fan Lou recover from his injuries."
Andre had witnessed with his own eyes how Feng Xuan attacked Fan Lou, giving him a basic understanding of Fan Lou's injuries. Even if Feng Qing's side was heartless and didn't provide any medical supplies to Fan Lou, the Andra clan's resources would still be sufficient to save him.
It turned out that Feng Qing had treated the benefactor of the Dark Pufferfish in such a manner. No wonder the Dark Pufferfish were so angry. If the Andra clan wanted to continue cooperating with the Dark Pufferfish, the best way was to appease them.
Although they were the benefactor of the Dark Pufferfish, the other three species of the Lonely River had also come to offer help. This was enough to prove that the rumors of discord among the Four Species Overlords of the Lonely River were false, as they were clearly very united. It seemed like the Bloodians knew too little about the Lonely River.
Initially, Andre did not think much of Fan Lou and did not think that Fan Lou was of any value. However, Andre had changed his mind now. Fan Lou was a key figure that the Andra clan and the Four Species Overlords of the Lonely River had befriended.
Ink Scar was still a little worried when he heard this and insisted, "In that case, bring me along to investigate the situation. This matter was done by the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves. As an elder of the Andra clan, you personally killed the fellow who threatened the safety of our Dark Pufferfish's benefactor. We are willing to owe the Andra clan a favor and won't blame you for this!"
Upon hearing Ink Scar's words, Andre no longer persisted. He knew that Fan Lou's situation must be dire at this moment, as could be seen from Feng Qing's actions. As long as Ink Scar didn't blame it on the Andra clan, everything would be fine.
In any case, they were already prepared to abandon the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves. Even if the Andra clan didn't use the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves to appease the Dark Pufferfish, the Andra clan would deal with them sooner or later.
Andre looked at Feng Qing with a sharp gaze, "Feng Qing, I think there are some things that I don't need to say. You lead the way!"
Feng Qing wanted to stall for time, but he did not dare to disobey Andre's orders. Andre, an elder of the Andra clan, was a Holy Spirit expert and was stronger than him. Given the Bloodians' attitude towards their dependent species, if Andre dared to attack Feng Xuan, he would also dare to attack him.
The Chaos Wind Demon Wolves were currently in an absolutely disadvantageous state. It was impossible for the Andra clan to offer support to them.
While the Four Species Overlords of the Lonely River were now filled with hostility towards the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves, their final stance would ultimately depend on Fan Lou's attitude towards them.
As long as Fan Lou remained loyal to the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves, the relationship between them and the Lonely River's Four Species Overlords would be bound to improve.
Feng Qing knew that he had let Fan Lou down, but he did not have much of a choice back then. Feng Xuan had been using the Elise clan to suppress him, and he couldn't afford to offend the entire Elise clan for Fan Lou's sake.
Fan Lou would definitely choose to forgive him after knowing the whole story. Fan Lou had been extremely soft-hearted by his side before, always considering his interests and obeying his orders without question. This time, he would certainly prioritize the benefits of the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves as well.
Fan Lou kept thinking about the rewards that Lin Yuan would give him after completing this mission. His longing for the future made him suppress the pain in his body.
Fan Lou had always been looked down upon because of his bloodline. It was not because Fan Lou's bloodline was weak but because he was extremely ambitious and kept climbing up.
At the level that Fan Lou was in, his bloodline could barely scrape the threshold, and only with the support of others could he enter more deeply. Thus, Fan Lou wished for the enhancement of his bloodline. Obtaining the bloodline of the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves could only increase Fan Lou's bloodline, but it could not allow Fan Lou's bloodline to undergo a transformation and reach his upper limit.
The Bloodian bloodline had an extremely strong infectious ability. It had the potential to transform Fan Lou's life rank. It was not merely Fan Lou's wishful thinking, as Lin Yuan had already made a promise to him.
Just as Fan Lou was thinking about the future, his door was opened from the outside. Feng Nuo walked in quickly. Upon smelling the rancid smell in the room, Feng Nuo frowned and said to Fan Lou in a friendly tone, "Brother Fan Lou, I have some spiritual ingredients here that can help you recover from your injuries. You can simply clean your wounds, and change your clothes. Lord Feng Qing has something to see you about."
Feng Nuo indeed understood Feng Qing's intentions. As the leader of the Forbidden Wolf Team, he had abundant resources at his disposal. Among them were these spiritual ingredients used for healing.
The precious spiritual ingredients in Feng Nuo's hands could heal Fan Lou's damaged roots. However, after considering it for a moment, Feng Nuo decided against giving the precious resources to Fan Lou to use.
Feng Nuo did not know what exactly had happened. The Chaos Wind Demon Wolves' members who came to report did not explain the situation so clearly. Given the choice between Feng Xuan and Fan Lou, Feng Nuo was more optimistic about Feng Xuan. Feng Nuo's bloodline and Feng Xuan's bloodline often had marriage alliances. Feng Nuo could be considered half a cousin of Feng Xuan.
Judging from Feng Qing's attitude towards Fan Lou, Feng Nuo assumed that Feng Qing was preparing to submit to the Elise clan and give up on Fan Lou. With Feng Xuan's personality, he would definitely continue to ostracize Fan Lou, making it impossible for Fan Lou to have a place to stay.
Feng Nuo's thoughts had always been very traditional. Although Fan Lou had the bloodline of the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves, he had always been an outsider in Feng Nuo's heart. Feng Nuo acknowledged Fan Lou's value to the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves, but he did not truly acknowledge Fan Lou's identity from the bottom of his heart. Therefore, he felt that Fan Lou was not worthy of such good resources.
Fan Lou struggled to sit up from the bed and didn't say anything to Feng Nuo. He took the spiritual ingredients from Feng Nuo's hand and pointed at his tattered clothes. Fan Lou's spatial equipment had been taken away by Feng Xuan, and he didn't have any clothes to change into at all.
Feng Nuo felt that Fan Lou was acting strangely. Previously, Fan Lou had always been very amiable to him. However, his attitude towards him now could only be described as cold. Fan Lou's coldness towards him made Feng Nuo very unhappy. It was one thing for Fan Lou to treat him like this when he was still favored by Feng Qing. What right did Fan Lou have to treat him like this now?!
Feng Nuo did not argue with Fan Lou. He took out a set of clothes and threw them in front of him before leaving the room where Fan Lou was imprisoned.
