Rural Doctor Enters the City: Whoever Touches My Wife, I’ll Take Them Down!

Chapter 2116: Threat!

Zhou Yu originally planned to use the Kunpeng divine blood within him to pass the test unnoticed.

Unexpectedly, the woman revealed the truth with a single statement.

However, after a brief moment of surprise, Zhou Yu quickly regained his composure.

"Your insight is astonishing, elder. Indeed, I am not a member of the Peng clan,"

Zhou Yu admitted frankly.

Given the circumstances, he could only bet that the woman had other motives for summoning him.

As long as she didn’t decide to kill him immediately, he’d have room to maneuver.

With his skills, as long as there’s a thread of opportunity, there’s no doubt he can escape.

The woman’s unexpectedness at Zhou Yu’s frank admission was notable.

"You are quite straightforward!"

Zhou Yu said calmly,

"I originally have no conflicting interests with the Peng clan."

"Moreover, I escorted Feng Hai, the young master of the Golden Roc clan, back safely."

"At the very least, I have done a favor for the Golden Roc clan."

"Considering the troubles the Golden Roc clan faces, I doubt you would make enemies recklessly, elder!"

Upon hearing this, the woman raised her eyebrows.

"Enemies?"

"Despite the adversity of the Golden Roc clan’s predicament, do you think you have the qualification to become our enemy?"

Hearing this, Zhou Yu smiled slightly.

"Of course, I don’t have the qualifications."

"But who says a mere nobody can’t cause a major upheaval?"

"Besides, if you don’t intend to kill me, elder, you must have your reasons."

Upon hearing this, the woman raised her eyebrows.

"The genius of the human race indeed has a remarkable mind."

"I’ve already heard about you from Feng Hai."

"For your age, to have such a cultivation realm, you must be a top-level genius among the entire human race!"

Zhou Yu was taken aback, then smiled bitterly and said,

"You overestimate me, elder."

The woman said indifferently,

"However, you are correct. I do have a request of you!"

Zhou Yu’s heart stirred promptly, and he asked,

"Please instruct me, elder!"

"In our Peng clan, every hundred years, there is a very rigorous test."

"This test is crucial to the continuation of the position of Saint Ancestor among the ten royal families; it is the most vital matter among them."

"Passing the test signifies the potential to become the new Saint Ancestor in the near future."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu already guessed what the woman wanted him to do.

However, he remained silent and continued listening.

"The Saint Ancestor is extremely important to our clan."

"Therefore, I need you to help our Golden Roc clan’s young master pass the test and become the Saint Ancestor!"

Zhou Yu took a deep breath and asked,

"Elder, can outsiders partake in the test you speak of?"

The woman said indifferently,

"No!"

"However, the divine blood of Ancestor Kunpeng within you is enough to pass as real, allowing you to blend in."

So that’s how it is.

Zhou Yu’s gaze shifted continuously.

"How can you be certain, elder, that I can help your clan’s young master pass the test smoothly?"

"What if other royal families have even more formidable experts?"

"After all, I’m merely at the Void Refinement Realm."

The woman stated indifferently,

"Because if you can’t do it, you will die in there!"

"Furthermore, the highest achievable in this test is merely the Void Refinement Realm."

"Those beyond that realm cannot enter."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu felt a slight relief and then asked.

"What if I succeeded?"

"Then I will spare your life, and I won’t investigate the origin of the Kunpeng divine blood within you."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu sighed helplessly.

Though it seemed like she was making a request, the reality was Zhou Yu had no other choice.

He could only agree.

Zhou Yu sighed softly.

"Hope you’ll keep your promise, elder. I agree."

The woman nodded.

"Very well."

"Now release your Primordial Spirit; I need to leave a mark."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu’s expression changed.

"Elder, what are you implying?"

"I’ve agreed!"

"Why unnecessary actions?"

The woman stated indifferently,

"If you sincerely agree, then you wouldn’t fear me leaving a mark?"

"Rest assured, this mark will only last for about half a year."

"This half-year is ample time to complete the test."

"If you truly hold to your promise, I will retract the mark myself."

"There is no room for negotiation in this matter!"

After saying that, the woman added another sentence.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu’s expression shifted multiple times, but in the end, he chose to concede.

There’s no choice, given the woman’s cultivation is far too high; he simply had no leverage to bargain.

Zhou Yu could only comply with the woman’s instructions.

Shortly thereafter, the woman left a mark in his Sea of Consciousness.

"Done."

"There is still some time before the test begins."

"In the meantime, you can move freely around the city."

"If you need anything, feel free to contact me."

"I will inform you before the test begins!"

Having been planted with a Primordial Spirit Mark, Zhou Yu had nothing to fear anymore.

He immediately said:

"Elder, I agreed to protect Feng Hai and escort him back because we made a deal, and he promised to give me a Golden Roc Feather."

"This item is extremely important to me; if I could get it before the test, the probability of passing would greatly increase."

"Hope the clan leader will keep the promise!"

Upon hearing this, the woman’s eyebrows rose slightly, and a brilliant gleam flashed in her eyes.

In that instant, Zhou Yu felt an incredibly strong pressure.

Crack!

His feet ground into the floor as a result.

However, Zhou Yu held strong and uttered not a word.

After a long while, the woman flicked her hand, and a feather shimmering with golden radiance flew towards Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu immediately reached out and caught it, then displayed an expression of excitement.

"Thank you, elder!"

"Alright, you may leave now!"

Zhou Yu clasped his fists together as a gesture and then turned to leave.

Shortly after Zhou Yu’s departure, several elderly men with grizzled hair appeared before the woman.

"Clan Leader, you just let that lad leave?"

"He possesses the divine blood of Ancestor Kunpeng; extracting it and infusing it into our clan’s young master would surely enhance our young master’s potential tremendously."

"Indeed, Clan Leader."

The crowd echoed their agreement.

However, the woman waved them off.

"Everyone, it’s not that I haven’t considered this."

"But as you are aware, our clan’s Saint Ancestor has already perished."

"Currently, our largest problem is the royal family’s position, not enhancing an individual’s strength."

"Thus, our top priority is ensuring our young master passes the upcoming test and receives the Saint Ancestor’s legacy."

"Only then can we retain our Golden Roc clan’s royal status."

"But it’s the divine blood of Ancestor Kunpeng, after all!" Some elders found it difficult to let go even so.

The woman stated indifferently,

"I’ve already examined it."

"This youth’s divine blood of Ancestor Kunpeng has already fused with his body, making extraction difficult in a short period."

"That is one consideration."

"Secondly, the Kunpeng divine blood within him is scant; even if we expended tremendous effort to extract it, it wouldn’t be of much use to our Golden Roc clan."

Upon hearing the woman’s words, these elders found themselves speechless despite their reluctance.

"Compared to the life and death of the Golden Roc clan, a mere Kunpeng divine blood is inconsequential."

"Do not sacrifice the greater good for minor gains."

Upon hearing this, the elders trembled slightly and then bowed, saying,

"Clan Leader’s lesson is correct."

"We understand now!"
