269: Chapter 270 The Sun Family's Decision

That is, the divine bone does indeed possess an attraction to Demons, but this item is too high-end for an average Demon, much like a wolf pup facing a dead ancient behemoth.

Even if they know it is a good thing, they dare not approach it easily.

Therefore, trying to lure monsters with this finger bone is basically unfeasible.

Even if a Demon were truly lured over, its grade would likely be ridiculously high.

By then, let alone killing it, whether one could even keep their life would be questionable.

After all, Demons are different from others; this thing's methods are too bizarre. I fear that before one could even log off, they would be killed by the Demon without even realizing it.

With this thought, Lin Ye decisively put the finger bone back into his void ring.

He only wanted to Cultivate in peace and earn some extra money on the side; he had no intention of courting death.

Without further thought, he activated the sundial of time, and the golden time acceleration Domain slowly unfolded in the courtyard.

"Xiao Jun." He called out softly.

Xiao Jun, who was playing in the tree, heard the voice and immediately slid down from the branch, running over while swinging its four short legs.

The growth cycle of the Dragon Clan is extremely long, but with the tenfold acceleration of the sundial of time, coupled with the astonishing foundation provided by the divine flesh, Xiao Jun's growth speed would surely not be much slower than his own.

Closing his eyes, his Blood Qi Power flowed steadily along his Meridians, following a specific breathing rhythm.

Xiao Jun lay quietly at Lin Ye's feet, its body also rising and falling slightly.

With each breath, it resonated with the Qi in Lin Ye's body, and the luster on its scales became a bit brighter.

Influenced by Xiao Jun, the circulation speed of Lin Ye's Blood Qi Power also quickened slightly, and even the quality of his Blood Qi Power was steadily improving.

This was the Blood Qi Power feedback that the Black Mountain Dragon Lord had spoken of.

However, compared to directly consuming divine flesh, this indirect feedback was much slower, but it had the advantage of being stable, with no risk of losing control.

As the saying goes, to forge iron, one must be strong oneself.

If the strength of the Physical Body cannot keep up, blindly improving the quality of Blood Qi Power will only produce counterproductive results.

Xiao Jun is different; possessing the Dragon Clan Bloodline, its Physical Body strength far exceeds that of a human.

Furthermore, since it was derived from divine flesh in the first place, there would be absolutely no rejection reaction.

Man and Dragon, they stayed quietly in the courtyard, Cultivating like this.

Meanwhile, in the inner hall of the Sun Family mansion, the atmosphere seemed somewhat frozen.

Family Head Sun sat in the main seat, his expression as gloomy as molten iron.

A map of the outer city was spread out on the long table in front of him, with the location of the Flying Eagle Gang's headquarters heavily circled in cinnabar.

On both sides of him sat seven or eight core members of the Sun Family, including elderly men with gray hair and beards, as well as men in their prime.

These people all had grave expressions, and the faces of the few middle-aged men even showed obvious resentment.

"Everyone, you must surely know about the matter of the Flying Eagle Gang Leader being a Demon."

Family Head Sun spoke slowly, his voice low but still steady.

"Second Brother, we must arrange for someone to take over the Flying Eagle Gang as soon as possible. We cannot let the downfall of the Flying Eagle Gang Leader affect the Sun Family's layout in the outer city."

Family Head Sun looked at a middle-aged man with a sinister face sitting in the lower seat.

Although the Flying Eagle Gang Leader was dead, the foundation of the Flying Eagle Gang remained.

This was an important link in their Sun Family's influence; many of the Sun Family's businesses relied on the Flying Eagle Gang to provide secret protection.

"Big Brother, rest assured. Although the Flying Eagle Gang Leader is gone, several hall masters within the Flying Eagle Gang are our people.

As long as a new gang leader is re-elected, the Flying Eagle Gang will not escape our control and will still be a blade for our Sun Family!"

Family Head Sun nodded upon hearing this: "Hmm, that is true, but the choice of a new gang leader must be prudent.

They must be able to hold down the situation, yet not have any connection to Demons.

Therefore, my opinion is to send someone from the Family over.

Who do you think is suitable to go?"

Upon hearing this, a rugged-looking middle-aged man immediately stood up: "Big Brother, I recommend Hall Master Feng.

He is already a retainer of the Sun Family, and he has always been patrolling the towns under the county city. He basically had no interaction with the Flying Eagle Gang Leader on a daily basis, so I imagine he won't be noticed by the Demon Suppression Division.

This person's cultivation has also reached the Peak of the Seventh Rank; he is definitely a reliable candidate."

The one speaking was the Sun Family's third brother, and as for the Hall Master Feng he mentioned, he was actually his subordinate.

The Sun Family is a large Family, and since it is a Family, internal factional struggles are unavoidable.

These are all common ailments of noble families and cannot be avoided.

Family Head Sun glanced at his third brother, who met his gaze without any avoidance.

Considering that the Sun Family is currently in a precarious situation, it is not appropriate to stir up internal strife.

Since the third brother wants to control the Flying Eagle Gang, let him control it.

As long as he is still the Family Head, the other branches cannot turn the sky upside down!

With this thought, Family Head Sun nodded, effectively approving the proposal, and then changed the subject: "The Flying Eagle Gang's matter is easy to handle, but the Demon Suppression Division side is likely not easy to fool.

That old guy Shen Lian is impervious to reason; wanting him to loosen his grip, relying on our Sun Family alone is likely not enough. Do you have any countermeasures?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the hall instantly fell into silence.

The Demon Suppression Division is a blade hanging over their Sun Family's heads, and one never knows when it might suddenly fall.

As for rising up to resist, that is even more impossible.

The Sun Family is indeed not afraid of the Demon Suppression Division branch in Qingfeng County.

But the Demon Suppression Division is famous for protecting its own.

Back then, a dignified second-rate Sect was razed to the ground by a high-ranking official of the Demon Suppression Division just because they accidentally killed a Demon Suppression Guard.

Their Sun Family does not believe they can be compared to a second-rate Sect.

Let alone a second-rate Sect, even a third-rate Sect could firmly suppress them.

Therefore, regarding how to deal with the Demon Suppression Division's questioning, no one dared to easily express their opinion.

Even the Sun Family's third brother, who has a relatively irritable personality, remained silent at this moment.

Looking at the silent crowd, Family Head Sun tapped his fingers on the tabletop twice, then spoke slowly: "My idea is to go find the Wang Family!"

Once this was said, the expressions of the few people present shifted slightly.

Family Head Sun ignored the strange expressions of the others and continued to explain:

"The Wang Family's Fifth-Rank Old Ancestor can have a say even in the Commandery City.

"As long as he is willing to come forward, the Demon Suppression Division will not pressure the Sun Family too tightly.

As he spoke, he raised his head, his gaze sweeping over everyone present: "I will send someone to prepare a generous gift to invite the Wang Family's Old Ancestor to come forward and mediate.

Being fellow noble families, I believe the Wang Family should understand the principle that if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold.

Today, the Demon Suppression Division can take the Sun Family as their target; tomorrow, it might not necessarily be their turn.

"As long as the Sun and Wang families join forces, no matter how overbearing the Demon Suppression Division is, they will have to weigh the consequences of offending two great noble families at the same time."

Just then, an elderly man with gray hair and beard suddenly spoke: "Family Head's words are very true, but the Wang Family's Old Ancestor has a reclusive personality. Ever since he retired to his hometown, he has rarely concerned himself with external affairs.

To invite him to come forward and mediate, relying on ordinary generous gifts is probably not enough."

"I know." Family Head Sun waved his hand.

"So I am prepared to concede 20% of the profits from the Qingfeng Chamber of Commerce."

"What?!"

Hearing this, the Sun Family's third brother stood up with a start.

No other reason, simply because he was one of the behind-the-scenes shareholders of the Qingfeng Chamber of Commerce.

Although the earnings of the Qingfeng Chamber of Commerce belonged to the Family, as the actual controller, he could still obtain considerable benefits from it.

Now that 20% of the profits were being conceded all at once, how could he continue to line his own pockets?

"What? Do you have an objection?"

Family Head Sun's tone was somewhat cold.
