If I could take advantage of this opportunity to return to Huaxia, not only would I gain access to Huaxia's vast market, but I could also rid myself of the threat of the Hand of Death. It's practically a plan that kills two birds with one stone!

Chen Gui had initially thought this would be an easy matter. Although Yanjing had the Chaoyang Biotech Group, Chen Gui didn't take it seriously. After all, it was only a group established for less than twenty years. In terms of foundation, it couldn't possibly compare to the Asia-Pacific Biotech Group.

But reality had given Chen Gui a resounding slap in the face. Between the Asia-Pacific Biotech Group and the Chaoyang Biotech Group, Secretary Lin actually leaned toward the Chaoyang Biotech Group.

It was true that if the Asia-Pacific Biotech Group was willing to settle for being a subordinate, it could still participate in the Biotech Park project. However, for a large multinational corporation to lose out to a private company from Huaxia, that was unacceptable to Chen Gui!

Chen Gui was a highly ambitious Family Head. His aspirations were never about clinging to a corner for survival. Otherwise, he could have easily submitted to the Hand of Death from the start!

"There's a meeting tomorrow. By then..." Chen Gui clutched the wooden puppet in his hand, a fervent gleam flickering in his eyes.

If he could successfully control Lin Feng, the Asia-Pacific Biotech Group's expansion in Huaxia would be smooth sailing and unstoppable!

...

The next day, Ling Feng was summoned to the Dragon Group by a phone call from Long Guangyi. To Ling Feng's astonishment, Long Guangyi informed him that he had agreed to Liu Chengfeng's proposal to split the Dragon Group into two!

"That's impossible!" Ling Feng stared at Long Guangyi in disbelief. This approach was clearly weakening the strength of the Dragon Group!

"You're wondering why I agreed with my senior brother's proposal, aren't you?" Long Guangyi looked at Ling Feng's puzzled expression and said, "In truth, I have the same thoughts as my senior brother."

With his hands clasped behind his back, Long Guangyi stood by the window and said, "Before dealing with external threats, you must first settle internal affairs. But those old fossils can never be swayed by my words. They would never believe that the calamity in the Underworld is about to begin!"

At this point, Long Guangyi sighed and said, "Instead of wasting effort trying to persuade them, it's better to simply drive them out of the Dragon Group. Although the Dragon Group's strength will be somewhat diminished, its combat effectiveness will be stronger than ever before!"

Ling Feng frowned. "Master, what about those who leave the Dragon Group?"

"Of course, they'll be handed over to my senior brother!" Long Guangyi laughed boldly and said, "This way, dividing the Dragon Group into two parts is the best strategy. I'll lead one part to open new territories, and my senior brother can take those old fossils to guard Huaxia. After thinking it over, I believe this might be the ideal cooperation model."

Saying this, Long Guangyi fixed his gaze on Ling Feng. "Ling Feng, don't forget the promise you once made. I need you to become my sharpest blade in conquering new territories. Do you understand me?"

Ling Feng was silent for a moment before nodding. "Don't worry. I, Ling Feng, keep my word. I will fulfill my promise."

Long Guangyi smiled. "Good. Honestly, I wasn't too worried you'd go back on your word. But this time, I'm mainly talking to you about your cultivation."

"My cultivation?" Ling Feng's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Long Guangyi had noticed the Power of the Abyss within him?

Since returning, Ling Feng had been suppressing the Power of the Abyss within him, fearing that others would discover it. Now that Long Guangyi had pointed it out, Ling Feng naturally felt wary.

"That's right. While your strength is formidable and you've progressed rapidly, it's not without flaws." Long Guangyi looked at Ling Feng and said, "I know that most of your power comes from unlocking your Gene Lock through gene experiments. While you possess great strength, you can't fully wield it yet."

"Although I am your master, I'll admit that I have never passed down our Dragon family's cultivation technique to you!" Long Guangyi said with feeling, "So, during this time, I intend to pass the Dragon God Decree to you!"

Ling Feng's eyes widened. To be taught the Dragon God Decree—was Long Guangyi out of his mind? Why would he want to impart the Dragon God Decree to him?

As Long Guangyi's disciple and Liu Chengfeng's son-in-law, Ling Feng had some understanding of their training in the Dragon God Decree!

It was said that the Dragon God Decree was the cultivation technique practiced by the Divine Dragon under the Xuanyuan Saint Emperor. It possessed unfathomable powers. However, over the course of countless years, the Dragon God Decree had become severely fragmented. From the original nine scrolls, only two remained. Even so, with just those two scrolls, the Long family had maintained its reputation as a martial arts dynasty in Huaxia!

Perhaps because the Dragon God Decree was excessively powerful, while the Long family gained immense strength, they lost the ability to expand their lineage. The family had always passed down its legacy through a single successor, possibly due to the aftereffects of cultivating the Dragon God Decree.

But regardless, the Dragon God Decree was the most powerful cultivation technique on Earth. Even Bai Feifei didn't yet have the qualifications to study it!

Back in the day, Liu Chengfeng had endured more than a decade of trials before being taught the Dragon God Decree by his master!

"Why?" Ling Feng frowned and asked.

Though Ling Feng didn't articulate the question, Long Guangyi understood what he was asking.

"Naturally, I have my reasons for passing down the Dragon God Decree to you!" Long Guangyi spoke sternly. "In truth, every mission you've undertaken over the past six months has been a test from me! Though you don't like me, out of respect for my senior brother, you still acknowledged me as your master. Moreover, you've carried out every task I've assigned without any complaints or hesitation! I trust my eyes, and I trust in your character."

Ling Feng fell silent. Despite Long Guangyi's offer to teach him the Dragon Emperor Art, there wasn't a trace of joy in Ling Feng's heart.

The Dragon Emperor Art was indeed powerful—Ling Feng knew that well. Even now, Ling Feng wasn't fully confident he could defeat Long Guangyi. That alone was evidence of Long Guangyi's strength and, by extension, the power of the Dragon Emperor Art!

But Ling Feng had no desire to learn the Dragon Emperor Art from Long Guangyi because he didn't want to grow overly entangled with him! While acknowledging Long Guangyi as his master had been a matter of circumstance, learning the Dragon Emperor Art would solidify their master-disciple bond. This was something Ling Feng sought to avoid!

After all, Long Guangyi had caused Liu Chengfeng profound pain and brought immense sorrow to Ting Yu!

"Master, you're too kind," Ling Feng said softly. "The only reason I've been willing to carry out missions is for Uncle Liu. My aim has simply been to acquire his antidote."

Long Guangyi's sharp eyes fixed on Ling Feng, his gaze radiating intensity. "Ling Feng, are you rejecting me?"

Ling Feng said nothing, but his silence was all the answer Long Guangyi needed.

Long Guangyi was furious. He had never imagined that anyone in the world would turn down the chance to train in the Dragon God Decree, let alone his own disciple!
