189: Wei Yan's investment ended and he left
“Let’s go!”
Miyamoto Seiichi led the young Novice Lords of the Western Alliance away.
His expression was uncontrollably twisted.
He had pulled many strings and exerted immense effort to become the leader of this expedition.
His goal was simple: to bask in the glory of Miyamoto Kota and John, to show off and gain prestige.
As it turned out, not only did he lose face completely,
he also lost one Rank 7 and one Rank 8 War Treasure.
Especially the azure wind sword, which made his heart bleed.
He just wanted to leave this place, this sorrowful land, as quickly as possible.
“Brother Miyamoto, have a safe journey. I won’t see you off.”
Wei Yan said with a beaming smile, like a wily old fox.
“Hmph!” Miyamoto Seiichi snorted coldly, cast a final glance at Li Feng beside Wei Yan, and turned to leave.
Soon, the Lords from the Western Alliance disappeared from sight.
Wei Yan dismissed everyone, leaving him and Li Feng alone.
“Li Feng, you used a battle formation just now, didn’t you?” Wei Yan asked once only the two of them remained.
Hearing this, Li Feng was surprised.
According to the two water and fire imps, battle formations were the means of True Gods.
Few people in the Middle World knew about them, let alone in a Small World where there were no True Gods.
“Try not to use battle formations in the future. Once the three major powers of the Middle World find out, they might guess that you’ve obtained a True God’s inheritance, and then it will be troublesome.”
Wei Yan patted Li Feng’s shoulder, earnestly cautioning him.
“Oh, by the way, add me as a friend. I’ll send you something good.” Suddenly, a smile appeared on Wei Yan’s face.
Li Feng was stunned, but he didn’t refuse Wei Yan’s friend request.
As soon as the friend request was accepted, Wei Yan immediately sent an item to Li Feng.
“A Rank 8 War Treasure? This is too valuable.”
Li Feng was startled and wanted to refuse.
There was no such thing as a free lunch, and he absolutely dared not accept such a freely given treasure.
“Speaking of which, I have you to thank for obtaining this War Treasure.” With that, Wei Yan recounted the details of his recent bet with Miyamoto Seiichi to Li Feng.
“Heh heh, I even gained a Rank 7 War Treasure. Just accept this one. Consider it my investment in you. When you become powerful in the future, you can return it to me with interest.”
Wei Yan patted Li Feng’s shoulder, laughing heartily.
Afterward, he sent Li Feng two blueprints: an Advanced Castle Blueprint and a Top-tier Castle Blueprint.
Although these two blueprints were precious, they were only relatively so.
For a powerful individual like Wei Yan, they weren't difficult to acquire, and he still had many.
Since it was an investment, Li Feng no longer stood on ceremony and accepted everything.
“Although I also have extra Temple Blueprints, according to the seniors of Soaring Dragon, it’s best for you to acquire these truly rare treasures yourselves. If others pave the Lord’s path for you, you will only find your path narrowing.”
Wei Yan said to Li Feng after giving him the two blueprints.
“I understand.” Li Feng nodded.
For him, obtaining Temple Blueprints in the future wouldn't be difficult, and he didn't have much emotional fluctuation about it.
However, he wasn't an ungrateful person either.
He kept Wei Yan’s kindness in his heart.
Just as Wei Yan said, when he became powerful in the future, he would naturally repay him with interest.
“Oh, by the way, the old fellow from the Taiyi Alliance contacted me earlier, saying they were willing to redeem their people. If you’re willing, I can help you negotiate with them.” Wei Yan said with a chuckle.
He was very happy to help with such a negotiation where he could make exorbitant demands.
Having lived for over a thousand years, many joys had already diminished in his life.
Watching rivals of the same level suffer setbacks, or even turn pale, was still quite interesting.
Hearing this, Li Feng’s expression shifted, and he suddenly remembered that there were still over a hundred Novice Lords of the Taiyi Alliance imprisoned in the dungeon on the first floor of his castle.
The Taiyi Alliance might not care much about the others.
But Gerard definitely tugged at the heartstrings of the Taiyi Alliance’s higher-ups.
In this year’s World Prodigy List, Gerard ranked nineteenth, which was a very high ranking.
In the past, Gerard could have almost vied for the top spot among Novice Lords, and he had the potential to become a god in the future.
Although the Taiyi Alliance was a world-class organization, it was not a large country, and its internal population was not large.
They usually poached talent.
They hadn’t been able to acquire a genius Lord of this caliber for decades.
Therefore, they valued Gerard greatly, even contacting Wei Yan, hoping to redeem him through negotiation.
“I…” Li Feng was about to speak.
“Don’t agree.” In his mind, Waterman Bengka’s voice suddenly rang out, “You can keep these genius Lords in your hands; they can make your territory even larger.”
“I’ll think about it some more.” Li Feng shook his head.
“Hmm, they are Novice Lords after all. Releasing them now also poses a certain potential threat to you. It’s indeed better to wait.” Wei Yan nodded.
Clearly, he misunderstood Li Feng.
For Li Feng, he had never taken Gerard and the others seriously from beginning to end.
Especially now that he had obtained a True God’s inheritance, it wouldn’t be long before he would completely rise to power.
Li Feng didn't offer any further explanation for this.
Swish!
About ten minutes later, under Wei Yan’s gaze, Li Feng stepped into the Void Teleportation Gate and was teleported back to his territory.
Tenglong Headquarters was a vital area of Soaring Dragon. It not only housed a large number of geniuses but also several important Mythical-grade buildings and the national treasury.
The seniors of Soaring Dragon had spent a lot of effort to find this place. Only by using the Void Teleportation Gate could one teleport there; as for teleportation scrolls and the like, that was pure wishful thinking… (Third update, 11 chapters still owed)
