"Are you happy to be his slave?"
In Man Yu, in a forest. Godly Ancestor Tu Jin was wearing a plaited bamboo hat. He was shouting and looking at a mountain range.
Behind him, an old man was happy as he answered, "No! He was wearing a golden robe, but sighed helplessly, not daring to refuse. If he did, he would be killed. He didn't want to die. He had been cultivating really hard for tens of thousands of years. If he died, what would be the point of it all?
"Ju Ying, why are you angry?" asked Godly Ancestor Tu Jin, turning around and staring at Godly Ancestor Ju Ying.
Godly Ancestor Ju Ying's expression fell under the pressure. He even started suffocating. Even as his face became red, he forced a smile and said, "I will be happy only if he becomes an overlord!"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, Master, I am sure. When Lin Feng becomes an overlord, I will be happy to be his slave," replied Godly Ancestor Ju Ying firmly.
"Haha! What a joke! If Lin Feng became an overlord, you wouldn't be qualified to be his slave!" jeered Godly Ancestor Tu Jin loudly.
When Godly Ancestor Ju Ying heard that, his face turned even redder. He felt sad and hurt. Indeed, if Lin Feng became an overlord, he wouldn't be qualified to be the man's slave anymore. With time, Lin Feng would have more and more slaves of the Godly Ancestor layer, and they would be at least Spiritual Godly Ancestors.
But there was a secret many people didn't know. Only he knew.
"Master, if Lin Feng became an overlord, I would have the Gigantic Hawks Clan endorse and support him."
"What? The Gigantic Hawks Clan? The Gigantic Hawks Clan back then didn't…?" Godly Ancestor Tu Jin's showed his astonishment. Even as an Ancestor of the Five Cardinal Points, he was surprised.
Long ago, the Gigantic Hawks Clan was a second-grade clan, with many outstanding cultivators. All the members of the Gigantic Hawks Clan had gigantic hawks. A hawk and a cultivator together were enough to compete with an ordinary Godly Ancestor.
The leader of the Gigantic Hawks Clan used to be one of the overlords of the List of the World of Battles, and he was at the top of the list. Unfortunately, a few overlords plotted against him and killed him. Godly Ancestor Ju Ying had managed to survive, along with another handful of people.
He had known that, but he didn't know about what Godly Ancestor Ju Ying had just told him. It was simply astonishing. If the Gigantic Hawks Clan hadn't been completely destroyed, if their beasts and they rose again, the world order would be shaken.
"Master, it's the truth. You're the only person I have ever told. Back then, the Gigantic Hawks Clan was destroyed by the Cavaliers of the Desert, but we weren't completely destroyed.
"You remember back then, when four people escaped? I was one of them. A hundred thousand years have passed. The four of us had over three hundred children who gave birth to our grandchildren. A hundred thousand years have passed. We now have fifteen Godly Ancestors, ten ordinary Godly Ancestors and four Spiritual Godly Ancestors. One of them is the hope of the Gigantic Hawks Clan; he has already broken through to the Holy Godly Ancestor layer.
"We don't want anyone to find out about us, so we are independent and travel around. But someday, when he breaks through to the next Godly Ancestor layer, we will rise again and try to become overlords.
"This is a secret. You're the only one who knows now. I hope you can keep this secret for yourself. At least, please do it for my father!" said Godly Ancestor Ju Ying. He seemed sad and dispirited. If the Ancestor of the Five Cardinal Points hadn't been friends with his father, Godly Ancestor Ju Ying would have died a long time before. He wouldn't even have had the opportunity to become someone's slave.
The world was cruel. Long ago, they were good friends, and now he had given him to Lin Feng as a slave.
Godly Ancestor Tu Jin was silent. Any overlord or Ancestor of the Five Cardinal Points would have been startled. The Gigantic Hawks Clan used to be a legendary clan!
If they hadn't been destroyed by the Cavaliers of the Desert, the Gigantic Hawks Clan would have become one of the strongest clans in this world!
"Ju Ying, will you bring him to your clan when he becomes an overlord?" Godly Ancestor Tu Jin sighed. He looked very serious. He wanted to be sure, because he didn't want him to regret afterwards.
"Of course I won't regret. Of course, I hope he can help us get our revenge and annihilate the Cavaliers of the Desert!" said Godly Ancestor Ju Ying, clenching his fists. An ice-cold Qi emerged from his body as Godly Ancestor Tu Jin watched. Godly Ancestor Ju Ying had endured the pain for a long time. He had never forgiven the Cavaliers of the Desert!
"I can't promise you anything. Lin Feng has a bad temper. Nobody can force him to do anything. Unless you ask him directly and he agrees, I don't think it's possible," said Godly Ancestor Tu Jin not confirming anything. Lin Feng didn't have a good temper. He rarely accepted other's requests.
"Alright, so let's forget about it for the time being. Now you know my secret and for this year I will still be his slave."
"Alright. If he becomes an overlord someday, he will probably accept your request. If he becomes an overlord, he will be one of the strongest cultivators in the World of Battles. Everybody will respect and fear him. At that time, the Cavaliers of the Desert will understand what remorse is."
"Master, it's a deal."
"Alright, deal."
"What do we do now? What should we do for him, ah, I mean, for my Master?"
"Go to Jing City. The auctions will start the day after tomorrow. I've heard a Godly Tao Skill will be auctioned off there. I want you to protect Lin Feng and help him obtain the Godly Tao Skill.
"Alright, I'm going then."

Godly Ancestor Tu Jin watched Godly Ancestor Ju Ying leave and grinned. One more step forward in his plan. The whole thing would really start once Lin Feng broke through to the Godly Ancestor layer.
Kun Dao, my disciple, wait and you'll see! Soon, your worst nightmares will become reality!
Godly Ancestor Tu Jin took a deep breath. His face was distorted with ferocity, but he was wearing a plaited bamboo hat, so nobody saw it. There was nobody else in these mountains, anyway.
Ni Huang, what is that supposed to mean? Why do you want your daughter to marry Lin Feng?, Godly Ancestor Tu Jin wondered. He couldn't help but consider what she was trying to do. Could it be that she had guessed Asura was Lin Feng? Or was it something else?
All in all, Ni Huang definitely had ulterior motives. Otherwise, she wouldn't have done that to her beloved daughter, who she loved deeply.
Such mysteries didn't make him feel any better…
——
Godly Ancestor Tu Jin was worried, but Lin Feng wasn't concerned about anything.
He had a year to travel, gather experience, explore the world, stabilize his cultivation, develop the Lin Clan, and turn it into a dazzling group in the World of Battles.
Nobody could prevent him from making the Lin Clan a dazzling and influential group!
Lin Feng sat down on a chair. He knew exactly what he wanted to do in detail. His children and women would break through to the Great Supreme God and Godly Ancestor layers within a century. The Lin Clan would then be one of the most powerful groups in the world.
Of course, Lin Feng thought that one hundred years was long, but if other people knew what he was thinking, they would be dumbstruck. Ordinary cultivators who took ten thousand years to break through to the Godly Ancestor layer were already considered geniuses… and Lin Feng thought a hundred years was long?
Lin Feng didn't go down the mountain. He had nothing to do there. All those big men were boring, and even worse, some of them were like the three morons, the evil tyrants.
Thinking about the three evil tyrants, Lin Feng thought he should ask Song Chou Jiu how they had been or how they were going to be punished.
Dong! Dong!
Someone knocked at the door but not too loud, perhaps to show respect.
"Come in!"
An almost three-meter man came in and looked at Lin Feng extremely respectfully. He looked rather awkward.
Lin Feng smiled and asked, "How can I help you?"
"Hey, hm, eh… Big Brother, … Ah, no! Young Prince! I… I… Brother! I…" The big man was tongue-tied after seeing Lin Feng. He didn't manage to say anything.
"Ah! Spit it out! Leader Song wants to see me?"
"Uhhh… Yes!"
"Does it have anything to do with the auctions?"
"Ah…! I think so!"
"Where is he waiting for me?"
"Uhhh… I'll lead the way. Yes, I remember, the leader wanted me to bring you there," said the big man, scratching his head. He looked amusing.
Lin Feng smiled and sighed speechlessly. Those people were strong, but had mental deficiencies!…
People in Man Yu were different from the legends they heard about Man Yu outside. According to the stories, the Region of the Eight Corners was a place where cruel and ferocious cultivators lived, a place where people committed every imaginable crime. But Lin Feng hadn't seen anything like that here yet. There were many good people in Man Yu.
Of course, the other territories of Man Yu might be completely different…
"Wait for me, I need to go upstairs first," Lin Feng said to the big man. He had to call down Qian Jin Cai Yue and Qing Huang Tian.
Qian Jin Cai Yue had given him a billion godly coins the day before. She had lots of money. No wonder she was a princess. The Celestial Pavilion of Enchantments was the patron of the auction house, so they had money.
But Lin Feng didn't want it. He had no reason to take her money.
—
Ten minutes later, Lin Feng and the two women came down the stairs. The big man looked dumbstruck. He just stared blankly at the two beautiful women for a long time.
"Ehh… I'm so happy to have you as a brother!"
"Why?"
"You're so strong! And your women are so beautiful! I also want to sleep with women!"
"…"
"Let's go! Go, go, go!"
"Alright, alright! Hey, will you show me how to get chicks?"
"Bastard!"
