The Blood Of The Lord

Chapter 07: Zhao Long's plan

While Chen Wu was training under Elder Yuan's tutelage, outside the Tianlong Clan, a dark plan was being prepared by someone he never expected.

Zhao Long, the leader of a rival clan who has long harbored a grudge against the Tianlong Clan, sits in his private chamber decorated with ancient symbols of his clan. In front of a long table covered in maps and scrolls, a guard stood alert.

"So, he passed the blood test?" Zhao Long asked in a low but threatening voice.

The bodyguard nodded. "Yes, Mr. Zhao. Chen Wu successfully passed the test and now seems to have mastered the power within him. Very great power."

Zhao Long turned his chair around, his sharp eyes staring at the map of the Tianlong Clan territory spread out on the table. "Great power?" He laughed softly, his tone calculating. "Such power is very dangerous, but also very easy to use for our purposes."

The bodyguard looked confused. "What do you mean sir?"

Zhao Long pointed his finger at the center point of the map, where the location of the Tianlong Clan was clearly printed. "Chen Wu is a huge threat to us, of course. However, he can also be a very useful toolI won't let his power grow like that without control. I have a plan to take advantage of it."

In Zhao Long's base, an elite group of clans known as the Black Shadows are being prepared for an important mission. They are an elite force consisting of well-trained soldiers, who have extraordinary abilities in disguise and deep attacks. Their mission this time was to trap Chen Wu, draw him out of the Tianlong Clan, and control the blood flowing in his body.

"What's our plan?" asked the leader of the Black Shadows, a large man with his face covered by an eye patch.

Zhao Long smiled evilly. "We will send them to poison Chen Wu's consciousness. We will plant shadows of doubt and hatred in his mind everyone he trusted, we made enemies. In fact, we will send a fake messenger who claims to be someone who knows his mother's past. Everything will lead Chen Wu into the trap we have prepared."

The Black Shadow Leader nodded. "So, we're going to manipulate him until he can no longer differentiate between friend and foe?"

“Exactly,” Zhao Long replied, his smile growing wider. "When he feels cornered, he will come to us. He will come for help, and then... his blood will be ours."

Meanwhile, Chen Wu felt a huge change in himself. After successfully controlling the power in his body, he felt that something was starting to attract attention out there—something bigger than anything he had encountered before.

One night, when he was practicing alone outside, Mei Lin came over with a worried expression. "Chen Wu, there's something strange. Some of the clan disciples are starting to look at you in a different light. They seem to have heard something about you—something I'm not sure is true."

"What do you mean?" Chen Wu asked, stopping his practice and looking at Mei Lin.

Mei Lin shook her head. "There are whispers about your mother. That someone knows who she really is, and they're pretending to know your past. I'm afraid they're trying to manipulate you."

Chen Wu felt his heart flutter. His mother was one of the biggest secrets in his life—all this time he only knew that his mother was imprisoned by the clan, without knowing the exact reason why. He never asked too many questions, but now, feelings of anxiety began to haunt him.

“Someone is trying to manipulate me?” he muttered quietly, mostly to himself. “This cannot be tolerated.”

Elder Yuan, who happened to be passing by, stopped in his tracks hearing their conversation. “Chen Wu,” he said in a deep voice, “don't believe everything that comes to youOur enemies will not stop trying to destroy you."

Chen Wu nodded, looking at the elder intently. "I know. But I also know, I have to dig deeper into my mother. There's something she's hiding, and I feel like it's related to my powers."

Elder Yuan sighed. "There are things that most people shouldn't know. Some secrets are better kept buried, but if you really want to find them, then you have to be prepared for the consequences."

Chen Wu didn't say anything, just stared at the road in front of him. He knew that this journey would not be easy. The world he knew began to collapse, and his enemies not only came from outside, but also from within himself.

Outside the Tianlong Clan, Zhao Long's plans continued to progress smoothly. The Black shadow had spread to various corners, manipulating the news and planting doubts in the minds of the clan leaders and disciples. In an instant, rumors about Chen Wu's mother spread, with false details beginning to blur the line between truth and lies.

Chen Wu, who was getting deeper in his search, didn't realize that a huge trap was waiting ahead. However, one thing is certain—his newfound strength will be tested more severely than ever before.
