Chapter 668: Chapter 155: Back to the Ancient Dream (47)
“””
Actually, there really is no need to fuss over what to breed, as marriages between different beast races aren’t rare occurrences, and the issue of their children has already been thoroughly examined. Generally, the higher-grade Bloodline Power assimilates the lower one. If the Bloodline Powers are equal, then it is left up to fate, and it’s up to the heavens to decide which Bloodline Power the child prominently displays.
Thus, Shi Feiqing’s worries about a creature with a turtle head and a lion body, or a lion head and a turtle body, are unfounded. It’s highly likely that any child they have would be a lion-hearted beast person without any characteristics of the turtle race.
Unless Gui He could enhance his Bloodline Power and ascend to the Heavenly God Realm, only then might he suppress the powerful Bloodline of the lion-hearted royal family.
Bah, bah, bah, talking about this is useless.
After the banquet, Gui He and Shi Changxin returned to Beast Battle Hall without lingering at the residence.
The night passed without conversation, harmoniously.
The next morning, Gui He got up and returned to the royal turtle family’s mansion in the capital.
After that night’s developnts, he didn’t need to participate in the upcoming combat competition. His renown was now sufficient to gain the attention of his family.
Upon learning of Gui He’s arrival, Turtle Second hastily went out to greet him.
“Ah, Gui He, you are finally back. You had your Uncle Two worried to death.”
Turtle Second warmly ushered Gui He into the mansion, making pleasantries.
After a bout of chatter, Gui He stated his purpose, “Uncle, I wish to et the Clan Leader.”
“Your father?” Turtle Second was stunned, then slightly furrowed his brow. The Clan Leader was Gui He’s father, but his distinct choice not to call him father indicated the estrangent between the father and son.
“Yes, I wish to et the Clan Leader. I wonder if Uncle could help arrange it.”
“Gui He, what are you talking about? He is your father; can’t you et him whenever you want? Just a few days ago, your father sent soone with a ssage asking to bring you back to the clan.”
“Is that so?” Gui He was noncommittal. It had been many years since he had seen his father. He rembered the last ti, even after kneeling in the rain all night, he didn’t even get a backward glance from his father.
Gui He had long since been disappointed with his father. The only thing his father seed to care about was the abilities Gui He possessed.
Regardless, he had to make this visit ho; he had a task assigned by his master that he needed to complete.
After saying goodbye to Shi Changxin, Gui He traveled all the way back to the turtle clan’s territory on the eastern seaboard.
Speaking of the turtle clan’s territory, it was quite extensive, and because it was close to the coast, the aquatic resources were incredibly rich, so sales were quite good.
However, this coastal area was not the true ancestral land of the turtle clan. Gui He still had to cross thousands of miles of ocean before finally entering Turtle Island, a turtle clan paradise isolated from the world.
Many mbers of the turtle clan’s branches lived on the island year-round, almost never communicating with the outside world. Only in this way could they better protect the safety of the turtle clan.
Most of them were engaged in important matters concerning the developnt of the turtle clan, so Gui He had left Turtle Island when he was very young and lived near the coast.
Back then, the old Heavenly God was unwell and continued treatnt with a marine herb, thus living in the turtle clan for over a decade. It was also during that ti that Hong Tian and Gui He t, the two lonely children becoming close playmates, only that… As ti passed, it’s hard to put into words.
Upon landing on Turtle Island, two turtle clan guards bowed and said, “Great Young Master, the Clan Leader invites you to the Grand Ancestral Hall for a chat.”
“Alright.” Gui He said little, but a chill rose in his heart. What was the Grand Ancestral Hall for? It was where the turtle clan decided on important matters. eting him there ant his father had no consideration for family or Bloodline.
Entering the Grand Ancestral Hall, nurous Clan Elders were already seated in order.
Gui He’s father, the current Clan Leader of the turtle clan, was sitting in the chief seat.
Taking a step forward, Gui He knelt and saluted, “Turtle clan’s Gui He, paying respects to the Clan Leader.”
“Dispense with the formalities.” Father Turtle spoke with a smile, “Gui He, your recent trip to the capital truly brought glory to our turtle clan, and your Uncle Two has been endlessly praising your strength.”
“Thank you for the comndation, Clan Leader.”
Seeing that Gui He did not continue the conversation, one of the Elders pounded his cane heavily and said in a deep voice, “Since you have learned such a powerful Secret Technique, why didn’t you return to the turtle clan imdiately to hand it over to us?”
Gui He glanced at the Elder sitting beside him and retorted, “Why should I give you such a Secret Technique?”
“Impudent!” Another Elder rebuked, “You were born a turtle clan mber, and you will die a turtle clan soul. Everything about you bears the mark of the turtle clan, including all that you possess. All should belong to our turtle clan!”
“Exactly, hurry and offer up the Secret Technique, to strengthen our turtle clan and no longer hide and be oppressed by others!”
“””
Series of rebukes sounded by Gui He’s ears, and Gui He’s expression remained calm, not uttering a single word.
It wasn’t until the Clan Elders had scolded enough that Gui He’s father smiled and asked Gui He, “Son, have you made up your mind?”
“I have, I won’t hand it over!”
“What?!”
“How dare you!”
“So bold!”
“Sobody, bring the family law!”
Under the continuous reprimands of the Clan Elders, a group of Gui clan guards ca forward.
“Get out!” As Gui He spoke softly, as his words fell, the Blood Qi Power burst forth violently, creating a shockwave that toppled everyone around.
“Oh, very well, you dare to rebel against your superiors!”
Although it didn’t injure anyone, the dust-covered Clan Elders truly lost face. So they imdiately activated their Bloodline Power, summoning the spirits of the ancestors within this ancestral hall, trying to suppress Gui He.
Each clan’s ancestral hall is a special place where they gather the spirits of their ancestors to protect the prosperity of the clan.
Those who betray the clan will also be suppressed by the spirits inside the ancestral hall, their bloodline temporarily disabled—this applies to anyone below the Heavenly God Realm, including the clan leader.
Before his power had rged, Gui He probably would have collapsed by now. However, after the rger of the Blood Qi Power and the Gui bloodline, the simple bloodline suppression no longer affected him.
Seeing Gui He standing up calmly, the Clan Elders looked horrified: “You… you… impossible, impossible!”
“What’s impossible? This ti, even the ancestors are on my side.” Without another word, Gui He walked directly up to his father: “I want to see the great ancestor.”
“If you hand over the Secret Technique, I might consider letting you et the great ancestor.”
“The Secret Technique can never be handed over unless my master approves.”
“Your master?” Gui He’s father paused before asking, “May I ask for your master’s na, and could you let et him?”
“I can convey your request, but it still isn’t my decision to make.” Despite detesting these old stubborns, Gui He still harbored love for the Gui clan, as he was a mber, and the Secret Technique from Lu Hong was undeniably the best choice for the clan’s strength.
“Then, let’s wait until your master agrees to et ; only then will I let you see the great ancestor,” his father also refused to relent, and both stood rigid.
After a long while, Gui He spoke again, “I must see the great ancestor.”
It seed Gui He’s father had finally caught Gui He’s weak spot, “Let your master co and see .”
“If that’s the case…” No longer considering any father-son affection, Gui He’s Blood Qi Power burst from his body, striking violently at his biological father.
Although his father wasn’t strong in offense, his defense was top-notch, and his response was swift.
Boosted by Bloodline Power, a verdant ripple easily blocked Gui He’s attack.
“Unfilial son! You dare to strike your own father?!” Gui He’s father imdiately flew into a rage.
“At you? No, since you won’t let et the great ancestor, then I will overturn this Gui Island; let’s see if the great ancestor will show up!” With that, Gui He released his Blood Qi Power in full force, and a Blood Qi Shockwave violently erupted.
The central ancestral hall of Gui Island collapsed upon impact, a group of Clan Elders erged from the ruins, cursing continuously.
Watching Gui He advancing towards him, his father similarly cursed, “Have you gone mad?! You dare to destroy the ancestral hall—are you trying to rebel against the clan?!”
“I said, I want to see the great ancestor.”
“This is suicide, soone, seize him!”
Hordes of Gui clan guards erged from all directions, their bloodlines connecting to form a massive, enclosing shield around Gui He.
This was the Gui clan’s famous defensive Xuan Shield on the battlefield, which required multiple people working together, specifically trained, and their Bloodline Power had to be interconnected to operate.
Once this technique was deployed, the shield was like the combined defense power of all its operators, couldn’t be broken at a single point, only through stronger brute force could it be shattered.
