Chapter 1843: Chapter 1840: The Tracking Dog Reappears
Ling Fengās proposal placed Hei Shi in an undefeated position, and Ling Feng handed the initiative to Hei Shi, making Hei Shi very excited.
"Is this really the Blood of the Dragon God?" Hei Shiās voice carried a hint of hoarseness and trembling.
If this is truly the Blood of the Dragon God, wouldnāt it mean his wife can be saved? But where did Ling Feng obtain the Blood of the Dragon God? Could he really not be deceiving him?
Getting it too easily made Hei Shi feel a hint of worry.
Ling Feng shrugged and said, "If you canāt recognize the Blood of the Dragon God, I believe your wife definitely can. As she carries a Half-Dragon Bloodline, the Blood of the Dragon God will have a natural suppressive power over her. Anyone with a Dragon Clan Bloodline wonāt possibly confuse the Blood of the Dragon God!"
Hei Shi held the Jade Bottle, his wrist trembling slightly, and stared straight at Ling Feng: "If... this really is the Blood of the Dragon God and can save my wife, then I, Hei Shi, owe you a life!"
"Donāt say it so seriously!" Ling Feng said, "When the time comes, just hand over the Avatar Embryo to me! This is a transaction, so you donāt need to be too emotionally invested!"
"Alright, I understand!" Hei Shi, though somewhat simple-minded, wasnāt foolish. He put away the Jade Bottle and then patted Ling Feng a few times, lifting the seal on Ling Fengās cultivation.
"You..." Ling Feng was a bit surprised; wasnāt Hei Shi afraid heād escape?
Hei Shi sighed and said, "Youāre right; thereās originally no enmity between us. I want to use your power to escape Storm Sectās pursuit, and thereās no need for us to act like enemies. Moreover, since you trust me, I canāt betray that trust, right?"
Ling Feng laughed and then extended his fist: "I actually think we can become friends!"
Hei Shi also laughed, then extended his right hand to lightly bump Ling Fengās fist.
"Is your wife a descendant of the Dragon God? How does she have a Half-Dragon Bloodline?" Ling Feng curiously asked.
Hei Shi nodded and said, "Thatās right, her ancestors indeed have the Dragon God Lineage, but by her generation, itās already very thin. However, inexplicably, these past few years, the concentration of Dragon Blood in her body has greatly increased, causing the fragmented Half-Dragon Bloodline to make it impossible for her to withstand the backlash of the bloodlineās power!"
Saying this, Hei Shiās face revealed a hint of pain: "This probably happened because while we were researching the Avatar Embryo, her body was affected by Star Core Power, causing this situation. So Iām using the Avatar Embryo as an auction item, both to save my wife and to prevent her from further researching it."
Ling Feng was somewhat surprised; from Hei Shiās words, it could be inferred that Hei Shiās wife should be a research talent. In the Ancient Ruins, who knows how many people want to study how to harness the power of the Star Core, but they all failed.

Though Hei Shiās wife has yet to succeed, itās clear her research direction has inspired many.
"Big Brother Heishi, your wife is extraordinary!" Ling Feng sighed.
Hei Shi showed a proud face: "Of course, my wife is the best wife in the world and the greatest researcher of Star Core Power."
Seeing Hei Shiās proud demeanor, Ling Feng couldnāt hold back his laughter; this Hei Shi really is a naive yet slightly lovable guy.
As Ling Feng expected, the people from Storm Sect already arrived at the front hall.
"Head of Cheng Family! We are here under Elder Ye of Storm Sectās orders to ask if your household has noticed a mysterious black-clothed person?" The Storm Sect expert leading the group asked gravely: "That guy attacked our Elder Ye, and according to our informants, he escaped nearby!"
The Head of Cheng Family feigned surprise and asked: "Attacked Elder Ye? How is Elder Yeās condition? Any serious injuries?"
"Elder Ye is fine, Head of Cheng Family, have you seen him?"
The Head of Cheng Family shook his head: "No, we havenāt noticed any unusual black-clothed person, but if we do, we will definitely capture him and hand him over to Storm Sect!"
"Thank you, Head of Cheng Family, we will be going!"
After all, Cheng isnāt a minor sect, and the Storm Sect expert leading the group dared not forcibly search, having to rely on Chengās cooperation.
But this search is destined to be fruitless; others might give face to Storm Sect, but Cheng certainly wonāt! After all, Ling Feng is also the "criminal" that Storm Sect seeks.
At Storm Sectās branch, Elder Yeās expression was grim; it was supposed to be a sure thing, but he ended up getting caught off guard and letting the suspect escape.
"I must find him; even though he managed to escape my Silencing Domain, he canāt get far now. Any news from the search team?"
The young man beside him said, "Grandfather, the search team has scoured the surroundings and found no trace of the black-clothed person. The areas left are only the various family territories, which weāre... not easy to search. Since pursuing just one person could offend many families, it could be highly detrimental to us!"
Elder Ye frowned: "Thatās true; if we provoke widespread anger, Storm Sectās upper echelons wonāt spare me, especially since weāre just a branch. This is quite a predicament."
"Grandfather, we should use the Tracking Dog!" the young man said, "We still have the blood trace of the black-clothed person; using the Tracking Dog, thereās a good chance of finding him!"
"Thatās a good idea!" Elder Ye nodded, "Alright, Iāll leave the tracking of the black-clothed person to you. If you find him, you will be greatly rewarded!"
"I promise to complete the task!" The young man nodded firmly, his face showing determination.
The Tracking Dog is specially bred by Storm Sect to track down criminals. Previously, Qiancheng also used the Tracking Dog to find Ling Feng, but Ling Feng ultimately managed to escape.
And this time, the young man leads a team of Storm Sect experts, following the Tracking Dog towards the Cheng family.
Clearly, the Tracking Dog has picked up the scent of the black-clothed person.
"Is this the Cheng family?" The young man frowned, "Is the black-clothed person hiding within the Cheng family? Did you guys come to Cheng before?"
"We did, but the Head of Cheng Family said they hadnāt noticed the black-clothed person!" the expert beside the young man said gravely.
"Havenāt noticed? Could it be that Cheng also wants to snatch it away?" The young manās face showed a cold expression: "If the Head of Cheng Family really didnāt notice, heās incompetent! But if he noticed and wouldnāt say, then it shows he has other intentions for the Avatar Embryo!"
"Interesting, letās go in, I want to properly meet this Cheng Family!"
