119: Theory of Bloodline

Zhou Tianming was somewhat surprised by Li Xiangyun's calmness, but he continued, "As for the second matter, Your Majesty heard that someone in the Li Family awakened the Phoenix Bloodline."

"If it's a male, he will be recruited as a consort. If it's a female, he is willing to seek the Li Family's pearl for the Great Zhou Crown Prince as his wife."

"Second Brother?" Zhou Jingxing was slightly stunned upon hearing this, and he gritted his teeth.

The Second Brother Zhou Jingxing referred to was named Zhou Yuchen, who was also the Great Zhou Crown Prince. His maternal clan was the Qin Family of Zhongzhou.

The so-called Qin Family of Zhongzhou was one of the three great families of Zhongzhou, along with the Chen Family and the Qi Family.

And these three great families were all Nascent Soul families.

At this moment, the power structure of the Great Zhou Dynasty was very clear. The Great Zhou Imperial Family, as a Soul Transformation force, ruled all directions, with six great Nascent Soul families and three great Nascent Soul Sects under its jurisdiction.

However, now with the addition of the Long Family, there were seven great Nascent Soul families.

As the Great Zhou Crown Prince, Zhou Yuchen's talent might not be the most outstanding among the Great Zhou princes, but his Bloodline concentration was the highest among the Great Zhou Dynasty's princes.

And this was one of the reasons why he could become the Crown Prince.

At this moment, hearing that his Imperial Father wanted to marry his Senior Sister to his Second Brother, Zhou Jingxing's expression was uncertain, and he had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

At this moment, Zhou Jingxing even hoped that Li Xiangyun could be tough once more and refuse this request.

Even if this decision would bring about a monstrous flood, he wouldn't care.

Ignoring what others thought, Li Xiangyun, after hearing these words, finally understood the purpose of Emperor Yongchang.

Clearly, the Great Zhou Dynasty had taken a fancy to Li Xiner's Phoenix Bloodline and wanted to claim it for itself.

Or rather, incorporate it into the Bloodline of the Great Zhou Imperial Family.

After all, the Great Zhou Dynasty itself also possessed its own Bloodline – the Azure Dragon Bloodline.

As the ruling core of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the power of the Azure Dragon Bloodline was naturally not low.

But this obviously did not satisfy him.

Firstly, the power of Bloodline is very mysterious.

When two Bloodlines are of similar strength, or not too different, their fusion often fails.

However, it is not impossible for mutations to occur, but the direction of these mutations usually tends towards the worse, and only in very rare cases does it develop in a good direction.

And when one is strong and one is weak, the stronger one will devour the weaker one, strengthening itself, thereby achieving evolution.

The scene from last night had clearly been reported to Emperor Yongchang.

And with the Great Zhou Dynasty's discerning eye, they naturally knew how powerful a Bloodline capable of producing such a great phenomenon was.

It might even be more powerful than their Great Zhou Dynasty's Azure Dragon Bloodline.

And this was also the reason why Emperor Yongchang would choose to act.

After all, no matter how strong Li Xiangyun was, he was still just a Golden Core. Even with a fourth-grade Alchemist, it still couldn't shake the Foundation of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Therefore, the Great Zhou Dynasty could choose to gradually control the Li Family through Zhou Jingxing becoming a disciple.

But the Phoenix Bloodline was different.

This kind of thing might not seem very powerful now.

But its advantage lay in its ability to be passed down.

In other words, as long as there is Bloodline Power, even if future generations are stupid, they won't be too bad.

At the same time, possessing Bloodline Power will invisibly improve the talent of future generations, making them more likely to have a Spiritual Root.

Furthermore, with the same Spiritual Root talent, those with Bloodline Power will achieve higher accomplishments than those without Bloodline Power.

That is to say, Bloodline Power can not only guarantee the lower limit of a Cultivator's descendants but also raise their upper limit.

And how could such power not drive the Great Zhou Dynasty crazy?

After understanding all this, Li Xiangyun was already thinking about how to escape and where to move the Li Family.

After all, Li Xiangyun would never agree to these two conditions.

If it were just the first condition, perhaps he would grit his teeth and agree.

After all, entering court to become an official is entering court to become an official, even if it means being a domestic slave, working like an ox or a horse for the Great Zhou Dynasty.

But for the Li Family, he would accept it!

Even if the road ahead was a mountain of daggers and a sea of fire, with the System, he was confident of his safety and that as long as the Li Family developed, there would eventually be a day for revenge.

But to let Li Xiner marry that so-called Great Zhou Crown Prince, Li Xiangyun would never agree.

Otherwise, he would have agreed back at the Spirit Beast Sect, and wouldn't have waited until now.

Moreover, this time was different from the Spirit Beast Sect incident.

That was purely a marriage alliance, but this time was purely to treat Li Xiner as a breeding machine. How could that be allowed?

Furthermore, judging by Zhou Tianming's demeanor, it was clear that he wasn't finished yet.

So, Li Xiangyun quickly sent a message, telling Li Zhongwen to continue arranging for the clansmen to flee, while he continued to stall for time.

That's right, as soon as Zhou Tianming stated the first condition, he had already begun arranging for the Li Family to flee.

And at this time, the teleportation array he had set up earlier came into play.

With the help of Fire Old, it could perfectly conceal the spatial fluctuations generated when the teleportation array was activated.

So, Li Xiangyun continued with a suppressed, cold voice, "Continue!"

Feeling Li Xiangyun's suppressed anger, Zhou Tianming involuntarily shivered, but then he thought.

No matter how strong Li Xiangyun was, he was only a Late-stage Golden Core, while he was a Golden Core Peak. What was he afraid of?

Even if Li Xiangyun's strength was greater, what then? Did he really dare to make a move?

With this thought, the hint of timidity in Zhou Tianming's heart not only vanished without a trace, but he even felt a bit smug.

After all, this was the Great Zhou Dynasty's domain, and as a Great Zhou Prince, how many people would dare to touch him?

So, Zhou Tianming immediately said proudly, "The third thing is to move the Li Family to the Imperial City of Zhongzhou."

"After all, from now on, the Li Family will be imperial relatives, and even Ice Peak Zhenren will enter court to become an official, so it's naturally better to move the Li Family to the Imperial City of Zhongzhou."

"Ice Peak Zhenren, tell me, isn't this good news!"

After speaking, Zhou Tianming chuckled and looked at Li Xiangyun, waiting for his reply.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiangyun finally understood that they had no intention of leaving the Li Family a way out!

If the first two conditions could be tolerated and accepted by ordinary people.

Then this last condition, even a normal person would not accept.

Because this was already a blatant display of their wolfish ambitions.

If the entire clan were to move to the Imperial City of Zhongzhou, they would truly become fish on a chopping block, unable to escape.

At this moment, not only Zhou Tianming and Zhou Baishui, but even Zhou Jingxing was waiting for Li Xiangyun's answer.

So, meeting everyone's gaze, Li Xiangyun smiled, a loud, wild laugh.

"Hahahaha~"

"What a good plan, truly a good plan!"

Li Xiangyun's voice was filled with coldness, and his chilling words sent shivers down one's spine.

Zhou Tianming and Zhou Baishui vaguely sensed that something was wrong and surrounded Li Xiangyun.

As for Zhou Zhenyue, in his foolishness, he finally showed some cunning and quickly retreated.

At the same time, Zhou Jingxing also saw that things were going south and fled.
