Chapter 90
From behind, Zhao Gongming piloted a golden flying sword, merging body and sword as one. His face was ashen and grim. "Fang Jin, Fang Shui..."
He was already advanced in years, approaching the two-hundred-year limit, and the Zhao Family's Dao Foundation ancestors had dwindled until only he remained!
Once his lifespan ended and he passed into seclusion, the Zhao Family would face immediate collapse!
That was why he had previously nurtured his direct-line descendant Zhao Wuxu, feeding him to Li Rulong through the human pill method.
Yet he never expected Li Rulong to use the intercalation technique to swap fate and instead devour his own grandson!
The matter involved too many Purple Mansion schemes. Zhao Gongming dared not probe too deeply; he could only swallow the bitterness with broken teeth and turn to cultivating another genius in the clan—Zhao Wufeng!
After setting aside his preconceptions, Zhao Gongming was delighted to discover that this child possessed the bearing of an ancient sword cultivator. His talent surpassed even Zhao Wuxu.
Previously, the family's resources had all poured into Zhao Wuxu, making Zhao Wufeng seem somewhat mediocre by comparison.
But once the resources shifted in his favor, he immediately bloomed with dazzling brilliance. Recently he had cultivated to the perfect ninth layer of Qi Ingestion and was preparing to form his Dao Foundation.
