Chapter 1985 — Going Alone

The finest medicinal materials and heavenly treasures from the Feng Family had also ceased to be supplied to Feng Nitian. In the Ancient Families, everything ultimately came down to profit. No matter how many heavenly treasures Feng Nitian consumed, he could not recover. Even if the Great Restoration Pill and the Meridian-Clearing Pill were used together, at best they could return him to ordinary good health. His damaged meridians could never be fully restored, making continued cultivation utterly impossible!
Even the alchemists of the Mysterious Pill Sect were powerless... Feng Tianhu was therefore consumed by grief and anger. Feng Nitian had been his only hope. He did have a younger son, but compared with Feng Nitian, the boy's aptitude was abysmal. He spent his days eating, drinking, playing, and indulging himself, and was no material for cultivation at all...
Of course, although the Feng Family had abandoned Feng Nitian, Feng Tianhu himself had not!
On the one hand, he sent people to investigate the identity of whoever had injured Feng Nitian; on the other, he had them search for a miracle doctor or a spiritual medicine capable of healing him.
Naturally, he knew that the resources at his disposal were limited. If he wanted to search on a large scale for spiritual medicines and heal Feng Nitian at any cost, he first had to climb to the summit of power within the Feng Family. He had to become the heir apparent. Only then would he be able to command greater resources, and only then could Feng Nitian be cured!
"Feng Tianqi, you actually had the nerve to make snide remarks at the family council when it wasn't your son who was injured. If I don't make things difficult for you, I'll be letting you off far too easily!" Feng Tianhu shook his head and spoke in an even voice...
Yet the moment he finished speaking, his phone rang. Feng Tianhu picked it up. A low male voice came from the other end. The caller was Feng Sanku, one of Feng Tianhu's subordinates and the informant he had dispatched to the secular world to gather intelligence. He was also one of the more outstanding third-generation disciples of the Feng Family, possessing peak late-stage Mysterious Rank strength.
The Hidden Families had once agreed that Earth Rank experts were not to enter the outside world at will. Though this was a regulation on the level of the Hidden Families, it had been established by the Hidden Family Arbitration Association. The association's First Elder was a figure capable of contending with the Ancient Sects, while its founder was even more terrifying. Even the Ancient Sects and Ancient Families had to show him considerable deference. Although he had already departed, his prestige remained, and so the Ancient Sects still refrained from sending Earth Rank experts into the secular world.
But things were different now. Since the Hidden Families had already broken the rules and sent an Earth Rank expert into the outside world without suffering any punishment or restrictions, the Hidden Family Arbitration Association had not reacted in the slightest!
