Chapter 367 The Three Great Families of the Desert
In another oasis in the desert, there is a group of yellow buildings, which is the Sha family.
"Master, the men we sent to kill Feng Mei have all been killed!"
A middle-aged man sat in the room and, upon hearing the servant's report, slowly put down his teacup.
This man was none other than Sha Wuren, the head of the Sha family, and his son Sha Tian stood behind him.
Next to Sha Wuren sat another person, who, though expressionless, gave off a sinister feeling.
"Besides Feng Dao, how come the Feng family has other experts?" Sha Wuren asked.
"I heard that a strange young man came to the Feng family. It was this young man who saved the Feng family and even killed Gu Tong!" the servant continued.
"Gu Tong was killed?" Sha Tian grinned.
"Yes," the servant replied respectfully.
"Could it be that you're also here for the dragon's treasure?" Sha Wujing asked doubtfully, glancing at the mysterious man sitting next to him.
"Regardless of the reason, kill them all," the mysterious man said coldly.
Sha Wuren nodded respectfully and said, "Don't worry, Lord Liangtian. We just need to wait a bit. That old fellow Gu Xi will definitely avenge his son. Then we can reap the benefits."
……
The temperature difference between day and night in the desert is extreme. It is hot and dry during the day, but becomes cold and biting after sunset.
Leng Yun sat in the VIP seat at the banquet, between Feng Dao and Feng Mei.
All the elders of the Feng family came here, and everyone kept toasting Leng Yun to thank him for saving their lives.
Leng Yun was not a strong drinker and had a slightly tipsy face, but she found it hard to refuse the Feng family's hospitality.
"Brother Leng Yun, I must thank you properly tonight!" Feng Dao said with a smile.
Leng Yun said, "You're welcome. It was just a small favor."
"Alas, it's all my fault for being careless and falling into that scoundrel's trap. Otherwise, even a mere bronze-level expert would dare to run wild in our Feng family," Feng Dao sighed.
"By the way, what exactly happened?" Leng Yun asked.
“In this desert, there are three oases, and each oasis is home to a family, known as the three great families of the desert,” Feng Mei interjected.
"The three major families of the desert?" Leng Yun repeated.
Feng Mei nodded: "Yes, it's the Feng family, the Gu family, and the Sha family. You've met Gu Tong and Sha Tian before."
Leng Yun nodded. He knew that survival in this desert was not easy, especially since they were neighbors with the Dragon Clan, which was why the overall strength of these three families was not weak.
“Although our three families appear to be on good terms, we all have our own selfish motives in private,” Feng Dao said without any attempt to hide it.
Feng Mei continued, "That's right. In the past, because of the Dragon Clan, our three families united to resist external enemies. But now, as soon as the news of the Dragon Girl's transformation spread, the Gu family immediately turned against us!"
"On one hand, they want to annex our Feng family, and on the other hand, they want to obtain the Xuan-rank manual that the young lady just acquired," said an elder of the Feng family.
Leng Yun remained silent for a moment, sighing inwardly. He thought that when Grand Tutor Pang handed the secret manual to the three of them, he certainly hadn't expected this outcome.
"By the way, how did you discover Grand Tutor Pang?" Leng Yun asked.
Feng Dao said, "This happened a few months ago. I was out on business and passed by a jade shop. I discovered that the owner had an impressive background. Upon getting to know him, I found out that he was one of the four famous emperors of Fanglai Kingdom!"
"So my father wanted me to curry favor with Grand Tutor Pang and get him to take me as his disciple, but unfortunately, Grand Tutor Pang thought my aptitude was too poor." Feng Mei looked disappointed.
Leng Yun smiled and said, "Don't be sad. Those who seem to have poor aptitude in Grand Tutor Pang's eyes are probably geniuses in other people's eyes."
Feng Dao looked at Leng Yun and Feng Mei with a smile, and secretly gave Feng Mei a look.
Feng Mei understood, blushed, and gave a shy smile.
"Brother Leng Yun, have another drink." Feng Mei picked up her wine glass and subtly moved closer to Leng Yun.
Leng Yun only smelled a fragrant aroma and, without thinking much, drank a glass of strong liquor.
"I think it's not just the Gu family who want to deal with you," Leng Yun said calmly.
"Hmm?" Feng Dao's heart stirred. "May I ask, young brother Leng Yun, what does this mean?"
Leng Yun continued, "When we were in the woods, several men in black tried to kill Feng Mei. Judging from their martial arts style, they shouldn't be from the Gu family."
Feng Dao immediately fell into deep thought, a hint of seriousness appearing in his eyes: "Could it be the Sha family?"
"It seems that the Dragon Girl's transformation will shatter the peace that has lasted for more than a decade in the desert!" sighed an elder of the Feng family.
Taking the opportunity, Leng Yun asked, "What exactly is going on with this dragon race?"
“I know, the Dragon Clan is a mysterious tribe, and all the people in the tribe have snake tails and human bodies,” Feng Mei interjected, her breath sweet as orchids in Leng Yun’s ear.
"A snake-tailed human body?" Leng Yun asked curiously, "Isn't it a dragon?"
Feng Mei nodded: "Yes, dragons and snakes are one family. Only when they cultivate to a certain level will they transform into dragon tails and be able to fly in the sky."
Leng Yun looked at Feng Mei with amusement, her expression full of envy for 'flying in the sky,' without revealing that she herself could also fly in the sky.
“If you continue to cultivate, it will be like the Dragon Maiden of the Dragon Clan. To break through to the Martial Realm, she will transform into human form. If the transformation is successful, she will be reborn and her strength will reach the Star Martial Realm,” Feng Dao added.
Feng Mei moved even closer to Leng Yun, almost touching his face, and continued, "The dragon race lives deep in the desert. There are many experts in the race, the most powerful of whom is the dragon girl."
"But why would the Dragon Girl's transformation attract so many experts? Is it for revenge?" Leng Yun asked.
"One aspect is revenge," Feng Dao explained. "Because the dragons are ruthless and have killed many people on the Fanglai Continent, everyone is usually wary of the dragon girl, and this is the perfect opportunity."
"On the other hand," Feng Mei said smugly, deliberately lowering her voice, "I've heard that there's a treasure among the dragons, so everyone wants to get it."
"What treasure?" Leng Yun asked curiously.
Feng Mei twirled her long hair with her fingers as she said, "I heard it's a blue light that has the power to cleanse everything."
"It really is a blue light!" Leng Yun sighed, thinking to himself that this operation was not going to be easy.
As they spoke, Leng Yun felt a little dizzy. The Feng family's strong liquor was indeed potent; it was starting to make her drunk.
"Brother Leng Yun, you've had too much to drink. Let me help you to rest." Feng Mei looked shy and lowered her head to support Leng Yun's arm.
Leng Yun only felt the fragrant aroma and the soft, warm touch, and did not resist, so she followed Feng Mei.
Behind them, only Feng Dao, grinning, and the Feng family elder, who wore the same wicked smile...
