After the black slave and Xu Bo left, Nangong Li quickly called Chen Xiang over.
“Is it true that our Bloodline Sacred Land has two Bloodline Masters named Dongfang Qing and Xiang Wentian?” Nangong Li asked in a deep voice.
“Dongfang Qing? Xiang Wentian?”
Chen Xiang furrowed his brows in thought for a moment, then immediately nodded, “Yes, these two fellows. Dongfang Qing is the president of the Bloodline Sacred Land branch in the Great Qi Kingdom of the Five Nations in the Northwest, a Third-Level Bloodline Master. Xiang Wentian is in charge of the Bloodline Sacred Land branch in Xuan Prefecture, a Fourth-Level Bloodline Master. They are currently being held in the confinement room of the branch for reflection.”
“For reflection in the confinement room? What’s going on?” Nangong Li was taken aback.
“I’m not too sure about that either, but I heard that they seem to have sheltered a few disciples from the Five Nations, which caused our Bloodline Sacred Land to be entangled in disputes within the imperial city, so they were confined by the Disciplinary Hall.”
“Right.” Seemingly realizing something, Chen Xiang continued, “Dongfang Qing quickly mastered the new generation Bloodline Instrument issued by the Northern Sky Region and submitted a usage report for the new Bloodline Instrument. You even praised him in person.”
“A new Bloodline Instrument? I remember now.”
Nangong Li suddenly realized, no wonder he felt the name Dongfang Qing was somewhat familiar. Back then, that new Bloodline Instrument was not commonly used by everyone in the Bloodline Sacred Land of the Great Wei Dynasty. It was astonishing that a branch president from the Five Nations could handle it so skillfully.
“Sheltering a few disciples from the Five Nations? What a mess.” Nangong Li said solemnly, “You immediately bring Dongfang Qing and Xiang Wentian over here, and then investigate a person named Qin Chen. It seems he had some conflict with the Feng family and is currently at the city guard office. Find out what exactly is going on.”
“Yes.”
With the president's order, Chen Xiang naturally rushed to handle it.
Given the status of the Bloodline Sacred Land, soon after, numerous pieces of information regarding Qin Chen were submitted.
Upon seeing the information about Qin Chen, Nangong Li frowned slightly.
He never expected that Qin Chen was merely a disciple from the Five Nations.
A disciple from the Five Nations, yet he possessed the ancient Bloodline Technique that Nangong Li yearned for. Just thinking about it was unbelievable.
If it weren't for the contents of the ancient Bloodline Technique still in the letter he had, he would even suspect that the other party was intentionally trying to deceive him.
“Subordinate, pay respects to the president.”
Before long, Dongfang Qing and Xiang Wentian were brought in. Upon seeing Nangong Li, both trembled and greeted him anxiously.
Although they were both Bloodline Masters of the Bloodline Sacred Land, their statuses were far inferior to that of Nangong Li. Normally, they could never have any interaction with him, so hearing the president summon them made their hearts uneasy.
“No need for excessive propriety. I ask you, do you know a young man named Qin Chen?” Nangong Li said in a deep voice.
“Chen Shao?”
Hearing this, Dongfang Qing exclaimed in surprise.
“You know him?” Nangong Li asked solemnly.
“Of course, I know him.” Dongfang Qing hurriedly said, “He is a genius from the Great Qi Kingdom among the Five Nations and has astonishing knowledge about the Bloodline.”
“Oh? Astonishing knowledge? How so?” Nangong Li asked, puzzled.
Dongfang Qing then recounted how Qin Chen casually manipulated the new Bloodline Instrument back in the day.
“That new Bloodline Instrument was something I had a hard time applying for from the dynasty's Bloodline Sacred Land. I can guarantee that, apart from myself, no other Bloodline Sacred Land in the entire Five Nations has it. Moreover, apart from myself, no other Bloodline Master has even seen it, yet Chen Shao was able to manipulate it effortlessly from the start. In fact, the methods I used to operate it were taught to me by Chen Shao.”
