Chapter 561: Chapter 561 Better to Just Rob It_1

Carson Flores widened his eyes, "Top ten in the whole Jiuzhou region, those are real masters. One hundred and forty years old, tsk tsk, that’s not an age ordinary people can reach..."

Leah Frost smiled and said, "Isn’t that the truth? Just living to the age of 140 is no small feat; there aren’t many who can achieve that."

Carson Flores laughed, "To break through the confines of life again, it seems one would need to break through to above the Innate level once more."

Leah Frost smiled, "Innate is the limit in this world. To go beyond Innate, you’re no longer mortal. How easy could it be to shed one’s mortal coil?"

Carson Flores subconsciously thought of the Broken Yuan Elixir left by Wilson Weiss, which could be used for a Peak Innate Grandmaster to breakthrough. If such an elixir were to be revealed to the world, it would probably lead those Peak Innate Grandmasters to a bloodbath.

For Wilson Weiss to leave it so solemnly, disregarding the Five Spirits Elixir, it showed how precious this elixir was. After all, not to mention the mortal world, even for cultivators in the Blessed Land of Cave Heavens, achieving Foundation Establishment and entering the Golden Core stage was a significant event.

Carson Flores agreed with a smile, "That’s right. Take that Kaenu Hail, the strongest in Jiuzhou for example, a truly formidable man, yet he has not broken through. Going beyond Innate is adding difficulty upon difficulty."

Leah Frost chuckled lightly, "Cultivating is part luck, part effort, and apart from that, it depends on fate. Kaenu Hail, strong all his life, hasn’t had the chance to enter The Unknown Land, to step onto a higher level. You’re only twenty-seven but have already been led to the gate of the Heavenly Mountain Cave Heaven. Being able to enter the cave, that’s fate..."

Carson Flores asked curiously, "Kaenu Hail is, after all, the top expert in Jiuzhou. It doesn’t make sense for the Blessed Land of Cave Heavens not to give him a backdoor entrance, or is there some inside story that we don’t know about?"

Leah Frost considered, "Perhaps there is, but if he doesn’t tell us himself, how would we know?"

"Indeed."

Carson Flores brought the conversation back, "Let’s talk about the Hoffman Family. Apart from Seth Hoffman, how many Innate cultivators does the Hoffman Family have?"

Leah Frost sighed, "The Hoffman Family is a deeply rooted indigenous family in the Western Capital, with a long history among the local residents. They are populous and deeply entrenched, with many masters emerging. The second and third generations alone, the ’Qing’ and ’Shan’ generations, have quite a few Innate Grandmasters. It’s said that there are over a dozen, and if we go further down, there are even more Grandmasters."

More than a dozen Innates?

And one that could enter the top ten in the world, Seth Hoffman...

Carson Flores praised, "With such a lineup of strength, it’s really impressive. No wonder they are considered the first family in the Western Capital, truly living up to the name."

Leah Frost gave a wry smile, "Isn’t that so? Although there are the Four Sects and twelve surnames, when the family disciples from the other surnames encounter those from the Hoffman Family, they steer clear by a good three feet, not daring to provoke them lightly for fear of trouble."

"Melody Hoffman is greatly doted on by her grandfather Hank Hoffman, and Hank Hoffman’s father Rylan Hoffman is also Innate, while his father is Seth Hoffman..."

Carson Flores immediately understood, "So, just as Messiah Frost is the beloved great-grandson of the Frost Family Patriarch, Melody Hoffman’s bloodline is directly tied to Seth Hoffman. She’s the direct descendant of Seth Hoffman and is therefore so cherished, right?"

"Roughly that’s the idea," Leah admitted.

Leah Frost smiled, "Although they say that a married daughter is like water poured out, the Frost Family, after all, is one of the twelve surnames of the Western Capital. If the Hoffman Family can influence Messiah Frost through Melody Hoffman, indirectly penetrating and controlling the Frost Family, it would be a great strategy without resorting to warfare. So it’s not only Melody Hoffman’s grandfather who would support her out of love, but other members of the Hoffman Family would also lend certain support within their capabilities."

Carson Flores pursed his lips, "Is all this trouble really necessary? The Hoffman Family is so strong; given that the Frost Family only has two Innate cultivators, why not just take by force?"

Leah Frost laughed, "A tiger has the strength to kill other animals, but that doesn’t mean it goes around killing every other animal in its territory. And if they did that, what would the other Sects think? Today it’s my Frost Family, but would it be their turn tomorrow? There are definitely covert power struggles and conflicts, but having strength doesn’t mean you can overtly do whatever you want."

Carson Flores chuckled, "I see. If raw power was enough to take whatever you want, then Kaenu Hail would be the richest..."

Pausing for a moment, Carson Flores stared at Leah Frost, "Auntie, although it’s true we’re not in a good situation, does that mean we just stand by and watch? If my cousin truly doesn’t care for the position, then naturally there’s no need for competition, but I can clearly see he’s interested... Does he have the will but lack the power?"

Leah Frost explained, "The reason Xiao Hang refused so bluntly is he didn’t want to cause you trouble. After all, it could mean opposing the Frost Family Patriarch and the Hoffman Family. Also, a big part of it is because they didn’t help you much when you were bullied by the Vasquez Family, which made them feel quite guilty and embarrassed, so how could they have the face to accept your help?"
