Chapter 171: Re-encountering Xiao Tian
Yang Feng and Jin Gang returned to the villa, but Huo Lie and others were already waiting inside. However, when they saw Jin Gang's pig-like appearance walking in, they all burst out laughing. Normally, Jin Gang would often beat them up during training, even the gentle Water Rou couldn't escape his wrath. Seeing Jin Gang being beaten into a pig-like state, their hearts felt extremely relieved!
Jin Gang looked at the laughing Huo Lie and others, his heart was extremely depressed. However, with Yang Feng here, he couldn't do anything to Huo Lie and the others. But in his heart, he thought that next time when training Huo Lie and the others, should he increase the intensity of the training? Who let them dare laugh at him like this? They should receive such punishment!
Yang Feng looked at Huo Lie and the others, waiting until they had finished laughing before speaking to Huo Lie, "This time I've brought you all here is because there's something very important that I need to tell you, but after hearing it, you might not be able to accept it. However, I still have to tell you this thing." Although Yang Feng thought that Huo Lie and the others would be unable to accept what he was about to tell them, in the end he decided it was better to just say it directly. As for whether or not they could accept it, that would depend on their own decisions.
Huoli and the five of them listened to Yang Feng's serious tone, standing up straight with a solemn expression, listening to what Yang Feng was about to tell them. However, Yang Feng waved his hand, letting them sit down first before starting to recount the history of the Twelve Ancestors' Witchcraft and the Witch Clan.
They listened to Yang Feng's stories about the ancient world, and at first, they were fascinated by the things they had never heard of before. They found it very magical and interesting to hear about the twelve ancestral witches being so powerful. However, when they heard about the downfall of the twelve ancestral witches, Chi You establishing the Jiuli Witch Tribe and competing with the Xianyuan Human Tribe for dominance, Chi You's defeat, and the Jiuli Witch Tribe being pursued and killed by the Human Tribe, they also felt sorry for the witch tribe.
And in the end, Yang Feng said that the twelve ancestral witches left behind their bloodlines in the mortal world. When the ancestral witch's bloodline awakens, those who possess this bloodline can manipulate earth, water, fire and wind powers. They already understood what Yang Feng wanted to tell them by this point, but as Yang Feng had expected, Huo Lie and the others couldn't accept it for a while after hearing these things. Except for Jinkang, he was actually excited when he heard Yang Feng's words!
"Haha, Number One, you're saying I'm also a descendant of that shameful thing?! That means we're from the same clan! Haha, so that makes me, Jīn Gāng, a Huá Xià person too?! Haha, great!" Jin Gang excitedly said to Yang Feng.
Yang Feng looked at Jin Gang's excited expression and didn't know what to say either. He said to Jin Gang, "Uh, Jin Gang, as for whether you are the descendant of Zu Wu Shou's bloodline, I'm not very clear about it either. We'll have to go back and ask my grandfather to be sure. However, I reckon it should be, after all, during the Hong Huang era, the entire Hong Huang continent was under the rule of the Witch clan, perhaps the tribe that Zu Wu Shou collected was from a very distant place."
Jin Gang became even more excited after hearing Yang Feng's words, and hastily said to Yang Feng, "One, then you quickly go back and ask your grandfather, see if I am really the descendant of that traitor!"
Yang Feng looked at Jīn Gāng, who was urging him to hurry back and ask for clarification, and smiled, saying, "I say, Jīn Gāng, what's the rush? Just calm down for a bit. Later on, I'll take you back to meet my grandfather directly!"
Jin Gang finally calmed down after hearing Yang Feng's words, but his face still looked very excited. This made Yang Feng feel very strange, and he really didn't know why Jin Gang was so happy when he heard the news. In fact, Jin Gang was so happy because Yang Feng said that he might also be a member of the Wu tribe. That way, he would have his own people again. To be sure, the small village where Jin Gang used to live had been killed by soldiers during an armed conflict in the area, and Jin Gang had always thought that he no longer had any relatives left, only himself. But now, he suddenly heard that he still had relatives, and even brothers, so how could he not be excited?
However, the five of them remained silent. Their silence was not because they couldn't accept that they were also from the witch tribe, but because they couldn't accept the deep-seated hatred between the witch and human tribes. They didn't know if accepting their identity as witches would mean they had to take actions against humans, which was something they didn't want to see happen. After all, the five of them had grown up as orphans, raised by the Huaxia government, and for so many years, they had been working to protect the country and the Huaxia government. It was indeed difficult for them to accept this sudden turn of events.
Yang Feng looked at Huo Lie and the others, who were silent there, without urging them, quietly waiting for them. After a long time, Huo Lie finally raised his head, looking at Yang Feng, then said to him, "Captain, we can accept our identity as witches, but we will not do anything that betrays the people of Hua Xia and the government, because we are nurtured by the country, if there is no country, we would not have survived until now, probably died in childhood. However, our strength is given by you, Captain, and you also have a favor for us, your orders will be executed absolutely, but on one condition: it must not harm the interests of the country and the people!"
Huoli is the core of the five-person team, and what he says represents the voice of others. The earth dragon, golden monkey, water softness, and peeping Tom who were present all nodded in agreement with Huoli's words, indicating that they also meant the same thing.
Yang Feng smiled and said, "What?! You think I want to do what? Oppose the country? Rest assured, I don't have such a big ambition. I told you these things just to let you know that there is witch tribe blood flowing in your bodies. As for making you do something unfavorable to Huaxia, I can guarantee that this kind of thing will absolutely not happen."
Huǒ Liè heard Yang Fēng say this, the expression on his face obviously relaxed a lot, but he still had some misgivings, and asked Yang Fēng, "Captain, didn't you just say that the Wū Zú and Rén Zú have such deep hatred, and now you are recognized by the True Dragon Purple Qi as the True Dragon Heavenly Son, representing the fate of Huā Xià's human world. Doesn't this mean that the Wū Zú will rise up, and the Rén Zú will suffer?!"
Yang Feng smiled after hearing Huo Lie's words, then said, "As for this thing called 'qi operation', I don't really understand it either. Even if I were to grasp the qi operation of the Huaxia human world, it wouldn't have any impact on our Huaxia ethnic group. It would just be a matter of dividing half of the qi operation to our Wu tribe, allowing our Wu tribe's qi operation to last a bit longer. Because in my body also flows the blood of the Huaxia ethnic group, even if I really did grasp the Huaxia human world's qi operation one day, there would still be half that represents the Huaxia ethnic group!"
Yang Feng really didn't think about doing anything harmful to the Huaxia people, he didn't have that ambition, he just followed Chi Zheng's orders and did what he was told, all for the sake of allowing the Witch tribe's bloodline to live a better life. As for who held the ruling power over the entire Huaxia, Yang Feng wouldn't care about those things at all. And in fact, after countless failures over millions of years, Chi Zheng had also become quite indifferent to the idea of ruling power. Chi Zheng's wish was simply to allow the Witch tribe to continue their legacy for a longer period of time.
Moreover, after millions of years of development, except for the Jiuli Witch tribe in Xijiang Miao Village who still retain the tradition of not intermarrying with the Han people, where else is there a distinction between ethnic groups and witch tribes in Huaxia? It's like Huoli and his family, although they have the blood of their ancestors and have already awakened, but their bodies are also flowing with the blood of the Huaxia people, the ethnic group and the witch tribe have merged to such an extent. Now, who can say clearly whether it is the human race or the witch tribe that rules over the land of Huaxia?
Huǒ Liè was delighted to hear Yang Feng's words and naturally accepted that he was a descendant of the Wu tribe. He also agreed to go to the Xī Jiāng Miáo village later, after all, it was Yang Feng's grandfather they were going to see, and they couldn't very well refuse. Moreover, Yang Feng had asked them to help find the Yǔ Wáng Jiǔ Dǐng, and they had agreed, promising to search with all their heart, for the matter of the Yǔ Wáng Jiǔ Dǐng was not only related to the fate of the Wu tribe but also to that of the human tribe.
"After the serious talk, Huo Lie said to Yang Feng, 'Captain, there's something that will definitely make you very happy. The captain of Tian Zu, Guo Xiao Tian, is back! And it seems like his previous injuries have not only healed, but he's even more powerful than before!'"
Yang Feng heard what Huo Lie said and immediately became excited. When he learned that Xiao Tian was at the Guoan 9th Bureau base, Yang Feng couldn't sit still anymore. He brought Huo Lie and a few others to rush to the Guoan 9th Bureau base.
This time, the two disciples of Huashan Sect who were guarding the entrance of National Security Bureau No. 9 were still the same as last time. However, when they saw Yang Feng walking over, they didn't dare to speak coldly like last time, and their attitude towards the five members of Team D had also changed. The two of them immediately gave a standard military salute when Yang Feng approached the entrance. Yang Feng wasn't a petty person either, so he returned a military salute before entering the elevator and going into the base.
Upon entering the base, Yang Feng had Huo Lie go inform Guo Xiao Tian. Soon after, Guo Xiao Tian's tall figure appeared before Yang Feng. Guo Xiao Tian's face was also visibly excited, and upon seeing Yang Feng, he gave him a big hug. Although nothing was said, their brotherly affection was already evident.
After the hug, Yang Feng looked at Guo Xiao Tian and found that it was indeed as Huo Lie had said. Guo Xiao Tian's dantian zifu not only fully recovered but also reached the late stage of foundation building. It seems that the Guo family must have someone like Yang Tian who can repair Guo Xiao Tian's dantian zifu, otherwise, it would be impossible to recover from being crippled.
"Haha, Ah Feng, how's it? Can't you feel that I'm even more powerful now?! That little brat who injured me last time was lucky to have escaped quickly. If I had found him, I would have taught him a good lesson!" Guo Xiao Tian laughed loudly as he spoke to Yang Feng.
"Haha, big brother, that kid has already been taught a lesson by me. If I had waited for you to do it, the Huanghua vegetable would have gone cold!" Yang Feng said with a smile to Guo Xiao Tian.
"Huh? So it was you who played the trick, I was wondering why I couldn't find that rascal. But never mind, we brothers are all the same in teaching him a lesson. Ah, right, Ah Feng, there's something I want to tell you, don't get anxious after hearing it." Guo Xiao Tian said to Yang Feng.
Yang Feng heard that Guo Xiao Tian actually had something to say to him, and he wasn't even allowed to be impatient, so he became a little curious, and quietly listened. However, when Yang Feng heard the thing, his entire body's anger was already ignited!
