248: Xiao Ling'er

In the end, the two younger sisters were taken away by Xiao Dou.

Xiao Dou had actually heard what the two younger sisters transmitted to Chen De before they left.

What realm were the two younger sisters in? Only the Di Gang Realm!

And Xiao Dou? He was at the peak of the Piming Realm!

Trying to hide a voice transmission from Xiao Dou?

Impossible!

Their voice transmissions in front of Xiao Dou were no different from directly whispering in his ear.

Perhaps the only difference was that he heard it even more clearly.

If not for this time, Xiao Dou probably would never have imagined it.

His pure, refined, well-behaved, and adorable daughter would say such wild and audacious words.

In comparison, although Xiao Shao also transmitted a message, it was still relatively normal.

Hearing such words, what a huge blow it was to the heart of an old father!

Chen De only felt a little regret.

Originally, Chen De thought he could once again enlighten two innocent girls who were new to the world.

He didn't know when, but Chen De had developed a sense of mission.

A sense of mission to willingly sacrifice himself and save others.

Perhaps Chen De's morality had improved again.

It's just a pity that the light of righteousness ultimately did not shine upon the two younger sisters.

Chen De then stopped thinking about it and began to ponder another matter.

What Chen De was thinking now was how to force these clans to reveal their trump cards.

Let them fight among themselves, test the waters for Chen De, and see what other secrets in this world Chen De didn't know about.

That Black-Robed Figure last time truly shocked Chen De, making him deeply realize the complexity of this world.

Whenever Chen De thought he was invincible in this world.

That Black-Robed Figure would always appear, shattering Chen De's illusions and revealing the bloody reality.

That Black-Robed Figure improved his strength even faster than Chen De.

After two consecutive times, Chen De no longer dared to be as arrogant as before.

Now Chen De had truly reached a bottleneck, and if that Black-Robed Figure made another move, wouldn't Chen De be finished?

Therefore, having the most powerful forces on the continent test the waters for Chen De would be the best outcome.

But the prerequisite was that Chen De had to extricate himself first.

He didn't want to test the waters, nor did he want to test the secrets of this world.

It was better for someone more powerful to do such things.

Chen De thought for a moment and came up with a very simple method: instigation.

He would find a way to make these Eight Clans fall into civil war, fighting each other.

Chen De would then secretly fan the flames, stir up conflicts, and make them beat each other's brains out.

Once the true fire of battle erupted and everything became irreversible.

They would naturally reveal their trump cards.

During this process, Chen De could also find a way to divert the fire onto the Black-Robed Figure at the appropriate time.

Regardless of his identity, anyone among the Eight Clans who saw such a heaven-defying existence would be extremely wary.

At that time, they could use their trump cards to help Chen De test that Black-Robed Figure.

That Black-Robed Figure never dared to show his true face, and it seemed no one here had heard much about him.

What did this mean? It meant there was something outside that he feared.

If the Black-Robed Figure was wary, Chen De naturally was too.

It was possible there was something that could kill him.

For an existence that could be fought but not killed.

Chen De couldn't just simply let him go and not care about anything.

After three consecutive confrontations, with Chen De defeating him twice, Chen De definitely wanted to leave something on him.

The first defeat was fine, but the second time, while violently beating the Black-Robed Figure, Chen De left a bit of black liquid on him.

As long as it was in stealth mode, let alone an existence like the Black-Robed Figure who was close to the Heavenly Imperial Realm, even a true Heavenly Imperial Realm expert wouldn't discover it.

Chen De had always kept track of his movements.

At that time, then...

Chen De thought, planned, and moved towards Xiao Miao's residence.

Currently, Chen De was mainly thinking about where to start implementing his plan.

The method he would ultimately use was undoubtedly the old one: framing and shifting blame, using it on both sides.

However, he had to use some more influential figures.

Otherwise, if those small soldiers died, they died.

Just look at how indifferent the Xiao Clan was to those with low Bloodlines.

If only small characters died, they wouldn't care.

They might just laugh it off and be done with it.

As Chen De was flying, someone came to stop him again.

Chen De recognized the person; it was a subordinate of Xiao Miao's aunt, Xiao Linger.

When Chen De saw him, he knew what he was there for.

For Seven-Star Bloodline existences, if the Bloodline strength of the two partners wasn't very high, it was still possible to give birth to a Six-Star Bloodline.

Xiao Miao's aunt, Xiao Linger, was one such individual, a Six-Star Bloodline with Piming Realm cultivation.

Bloodline level did not mean the final cultivation level one could achieve.

More often, it referred to the strength of the cultivation technique.

For example, a Bloodline that couldn't even light up a single star didn't mean he could only stay in the Qi Sea Realm.

It just meant his cultivation technique level was only equivalent to the Earth-tier.

If one were to judge the final cultivation one could achieve based on Bloodline level.

Then wouldn't those outside with no cultivation not even be able to break through the Qi Sea Realm?

For example, Old Man Cao, according to the Xiao Clan's classification, would be a zero-star Bloodline.

But didn't he still achieve the Half-Step Piming Realm?

It's just that in these clans, Bloodline powerhouses are more valued, and they themselves have huge advantages, receiving greater cultivation.

That's why the gap between Bloodline powerhouses and Bloodline weaklings in the clan is so large.

Another example is Xiao Linger; although she only has a Six-Star Bloodline, she also broke through to the Piming Realm.

It's just that her cultivation technique can only rival a mid-grade Heaven-tier technique, unable to light up the seventh star.

The clan chooses high-Bloodline individuals simply because, compared to low-Bloodline individuals, the return on the same investment is greater.

Even Bloodline powerhouses, even if they don't cultivate the clan's inherited techniques and cultivate other techniques, still have an advantage over ordinary people.

The Bloodline itself is a special physique.

It's just that without a tailor-made cultivation technique, the effect isn't as great.

However, growing up in such a clan, a Seven-Star Bloodline almost became Xiao Linger's obsession.

Therefore, Xiao Linger vowed to only marry a Seven-Star Bloodline in her life.

In her youth, she had also thought about combining with her clan leader brother, but her Bloodline was too low, and her repeated schemes came to naught.

At that time, the clan had also arranged for her to marry a Six-Star Bloodline of the same level, but she was unwilling and unresigned.

At that time, the clan was full of skeptical voices.

Because giving birth to offspring would affect one's own Bloodline.

There was no need to waste this precious opportunity on a Six-Star Bloodline.

Combining with another Seven-Star Bloodline would also increase the chance of giving birth to a Seven-Star Bloodline.

So, Xiao Linger's efforts were always in vain.

From then on, the clan's skepticism never ceased.

But this only strengthened Xiao Linger's resolve.

And these skeptical voices gradually disappeared when Xiao Linger broke through to the Piming Realm.

However, no Seven-Star Bloodline was still willing to combine with her.

By now, it was almost impossible to succeed with clansmen of her generation.

So, she set her sights on Xiao Miao, the strongest Bloodline in tens of thousands of years.

Combining with Xiao Miao, even if she only had a Six-Star Bloodline, it was almost 100% certain to give birth to a Seven-Star Bloodline.

Therefore, openly and covertly, Xiao Linger had seduced and hinted at Xiao Miao countless times.

However, Xiao Miao still adhered to the principle of marriage within the same generation, never letting Xiao Linger succeed.

But this time, Chen De could go and see.

Chen De was just looking for an influential figure, and here one was delivered to his doorstep.

So, without waiting for the person to speak, Chen De said first, "Let's go!"

The person was stunned; he hadn't even spoken yet, and then came surprise.

His boss had finally succeeded after all this time.

What was this?

This was a great achievement!

So he quickly led the way for Chen De, "Young Master, please come this way!"

Thus, Chen De was led to a picturesque place with clear waters.

He walked into a mountain and arrived at a courtyard built inside.

Inside, there was a woman who looked like a young married woman, dressed entirely in black silk, waiting for something.

She was only wearing a full silk garment, with nothing else underneath, perfectly showcasing her figure.

Chen De didn't know why there was black silk here, perhaps it was the wisdom of the ancients.

After all, in a big forest, there are all kinds of birds.

Her figure was perfectly curved, with a voluptuous bust and derriere, and two small grapes bulging on her chest.

A swan neck, a butterfly waist, and a peach-shaped bottom, all three combined in one.

Her long, fair legs, clad in black silk, splashed water by the courtyard's bathing pool.

She stood up, a charming and alluring smile on her lips, and swayed her hips as she walked towards Chen De.

Chen De noticed that the tight, full-body silk had a hole in a certain spot.
