Otherwise, the elders would have no way to save face in Qingmu City. The Bennett Family produced such a good-for-nothing—this will forever be The Bennett Family’s pain.” The elder with the thin face turned his head as he spoke, and out of the corner of his eye noticed someone, looking a bit surprised, he said, “How strange, why is he here too?”

“It seems to be The Carter Family’s John Carter from Qingzhou. What is he doing here?” The chubby-faced elder was also puzzled and stroked his beard in confusion.

“You two don’t know yet? The Carter Family has some ideas.” The Bennett Family elder Matthew Bennett said with a smile.

“Ideas? What ideas?” asked the chubby-faced elder Frank Bennett. The thin-faced elder Stephen Bennett also pricked up his ears. Clearly, everyone was eager for gossip.

“John Carter is the chief steward of The Carter Family, and The Carter Family is a major family in Qingzhou City, a first-class clan. The childhood engagement between Alice Carter and William Bennett was because, back then, William Bennett’s adoptive father, the King of Qingzhou, Robert Foster, was still around.

Back then, the The Foster Family was the number one dominant clan in Qingzhou, with even ‘Heavenly Martial Realm’ experts among them. Unfortunately, after the new king of Zhao ascended the throne, he deliberately suppressed the The Foster Family. And ever since that ‘Heavenly Martial Realm’ ancestor of the The Foster Family fell, Robert Foster also disappeared.

On top of that, several of The Foster Family’s enemies joined forces to strike, and from then on, the The Foster Family’s status plummeted. In just over a decade, the The Foster Family has already been erased from Qingzhou City. Even the title of ‘Iron-Cap King’ was taken back by the Zhao royal family.

Now, they don’t even count as a third-rate family. I heard that nowadays, the The Foster Family doesn’t even have a ‘Earth Martial Realm’ expert left. The once all-powerful The Foster Family has become history in Qingzhou.” Matthew Bennett sighed as he spoke.

“I see. In the past, The Carter Family still had some misgivings about The Foster Family, afraid that a starved camel would still be bigger than a horse. Now that The Foster Family is finished, there’s nothing left to fear. So, they want to ‘kick’ William Bennett out, right?” Frank Bennett said.

“That would be normal for anyone. William Bennett is a good-for-nothing, he’s never succeeded in ‘vein awakening’, not even considered a martial artist.

And that Alice Carter from The Carter Family is one of the six great geniuses of Qingzhou. She possesses the ‘Fire Sparrow’ blood will. When her blood will awakened, a fire sparrow surrounded by a ball of flames soared from her body, and the heat instantly scorched all the grass and trees within ten meters.

The ‘Fire Sparrow’ may not be an ancient divine bird, but it’s still an extremely fierce raptor. And Alice Carter is only fourteen this year, a year younger than William Bennett. She’s already awakened her blood will and become a ‘lower human martial realm’ expert, able to simultaneously vibrate eight bloodlines in her body to absorb the world’s energy.

Compared to her, William Bennett is just a pile of stinking dog shit, a toad gazing at a swan. I heard that half a year ago, The Carter Family already contacted Charles Bennett, probably with the intention of breaking off the engagement.

However, Charles Bennett has always refused. I heard that several times when people from The Carter Family came, they ended up arguing with Charles Bennett in the house. Now that John Carter, the chief steward of the Liu residence, has come, maybe something will happen. Let’s just wait and see.” Matthew Bennett said.

For bloodline cultivators, when they reach the great circle of the “Vein Pulsation Realm,” they must break through to the “Human Martial Realm,” and at this moment, only by awakening the “blood will” can they enter. Otherwise, you’ll remain in the Vein Pulsation Realm for life.

“Blood will” is the “will” of the blood. It’s just a vague intention, not a physical object. It looks like a misty, illusory shadow. But it’s precisely because of the “blood will” that you can activate your bloodline abilities—speeding up the absorption, purification, mutation, transformation, and storage of bloodline energy, and finally using martial techniques to attack.

The “blood will” is like a catalyst for the bloodline, enhancing the blood’s power. Because of it, the owner’s body is easier to control.

Before long, The Bennett Family’s clan leader Robert Bennett arrived with several core elders. Charles Bennett, being one of the committee members, naturally walked straight to the podium with his chest out.

“Charles Bennett, you still have the nerve to sit at the podium?” At this moment, a discordant voice rang out harshly, audible to the whole hall.

“As a committee member, don’t I, Charles Bennett, have the right to sit here? Or do you, Samuel Bennett, a piece of trash who couldn’t even become a committee member, have the right to sit here?” Charles Bennett glanced at him and sneered.

“You still have the nerve to talk? Look, which of the committee members’ sons or grandsons sitting on the podium isn’t at least a ‘Wood Rank’ martial artist? Even among us ordinary elders, whose sons or grandsons haven’t become martial artists? Only you have completely disgraced our The Bennett Family of Qingmu City. Your son is a good-for-nothing, and you’re not much better—just a maggot crawling out of a cesspit.” Samuel Bennett’s voice was rough and loud.

“That’s right, Charles Bennett, if you’re not up to it, don’t just occupy the seat and do nothing. Hurry up and get off the stage, this committee member should be chosen from among us.” Elder Stephen Bennett also mocked. The two of them were clearly in cahoots.

“Clan leader, is there a rule in the clan that a committee member’s descendants must be martial artists?” Charles Bennett turned to look at Robert Bennett and asked.

“There’s no such rule, but, Charles, shouldn’t our The Bennett Residence at least save some face?” Robert Bennett didn’t say it directly, but the meaning was clear. Your son William Bennett has embarrassed the The Bennett Residence.

“Clan leader, what do you mean by that?” Charles Bennett immediately glared angrily.
