Lu Xuan decided that he needed to make a trip to the Octagonal Sacred Hall. He immediately asked Zhao Ying about the war between the Nangong family and the Octagonal Sacred Hall.
Zhao Ying pondered for a moment and said, "I don't know much about these things. You'll have to ask your father for the details. However, I have a general understanding of the situation. Although the Nangong family has some foundation, it's impossible for them to fight against the Octagonal Sacred Hall controlled by the Sikong family alone. "
"After the matter at the sealed land, the Sikong family decisively attacked the Nangong family. They wanted to destroy the Nangong family quickly, but the hidden strength of the Nangong family exceeded their expectations. This caused the Sikong family to fail on the verge of success. The patriarch of the Nangong family, Nangong Yan, is an extremely decisive person. When he realized that the Sikong family had completely fallen out with them, he immediately led the Nangong family out of the Octagonal Sacred Hall's Sky Saint City. The battle between the two sides fell into a stalemate."
"Not only did they fail to destroy the Nangong family, but they also left behind a hidden threat. This was naturally difficult for the Sikong family. Because of this, the Sikong family couldn't ally with the Illusory God Sect to attack the Myriad Shark Island and the Jiuhua Alliance. Instead, they gathered all their forces to encircle the Nangong family."
"I have to say that the Sikong family's management of the Octagonal Sacred Hall is extraordinary. Within half a year, even though the Nangong family was in the dark, they were still heavily injured by the Sikong family. Of course, they also paid a great price. However, compared to the losses the Nangong family suffered, it's nothing. The patriarch of the Nangong family, Nangong Yan, was killed by the Sikong family in battle."
Hearing this, Lu Xuan was taken aback. Nangong Yan had actually died. This was definitely a fatal blow to the Nangong Clan that was in a precarious situation. Once the Nangong Clan was unable to stabilize the situation, it was very likely that the Sikong Clan wouldn't even need to do anything.
Zhao Ying continued, "Fortunately, there are still many hidden elders in the Nangong family. They relied on their own power to forcibly stabilize the situation, and quickly elected a new patriarch."
Zhao Ying glanced at Lu Xuan and said, "The new patriarch is someone you're familiar with. It's Nangong Lie."
Lu Xuan nodded. Although Nangong Lie's strength was not considered top-notch, he was very steady and capable. Furthermore, he was also a direct descendant of the Nangong family, so he was the most suitable person to take charge of the Nangong family. Nangong Yan had fallen for a long time. For the Nangong family to be able to resist the Sikong family, Nangong Lie must have played a big role. Nangong Lie must have played a big role.
Zhao Ying continued, "When Nangong Yan was in charge of the Nangong family, we also contacted him and offered to help, but he declined. I think he didn't trust us. However, after Nangong Lie came to power, he stood his ground and took the initiative to contact the Jiuhua Alliance to ask for help. Zhao Ying continued, "When Nangong Yan was in charge of the Nangong family, we contacted him and offered to help. However, he declined. It seems like he didn't trust us. However, after Nangong Lie came to power, he stood his ground and contacted the Jiuhua Alliance to ask for help.
"As for the Nangong family's request for help, your father immediately agreed. He sent some of the Jiuhua Alliance's experts to Octagon Temple through a secret transportation array. It was with the Jiuhua Alliance's help that the Nangong family was able to stabilize the situation. Even now, they are still fighting the Sikong family. However, Octagon Temple is the Sikong family's home ground. It's impossible for the Nangong family to completely suppress the Sikong family. Until now, they are still in a stalemate. "
"I see." Lu Xuan nodded. That was good news for him. The Sikong Clan had yet to completely clean up their internal strife, and the Holy Temple of Eight Corners still had people from the Jiuhua Alliance lurking in the shadows. If he went to the Holy Temple of Eight Corners now, his chances of success would be much higher.
Seeing Lu Xuan's expression, Zhao Ying couldn't help but ask, "Xuan 'er, you're not really going to Octagon Temple, are you?"
Lu Xuan had mentioned it before, but Lu Xuan left for Mount Jiuhua, so Zhao Ying didn't think about it for a while. However, now that Lu Xuan had come out and Bing 'er's injuries hadn't improved, based on her understanding of Lu Xuan, it was highly likely that Lu Xuan would take the risk and head to Octagon Temple. Zhao Ying's face was filled with worry when she thought of this.
When Lu Xuan was training on Mount Jiuhua, Zhao Ying was constantly worried about him. Now that Lu Xuan had finally returned safely, she never expected him to want to go to the Holy Temple of Eight Corners. In comparison, the danger level of the Holy Temple of Eight Corners was definitely more than ten times that of Mount Jiuhua!
Lu Xuan took a deep breath. "Mother, you've seen the situation now. It's been a year, and Bing 'er hasn't gotten any better. Aside from going to Octagon Temple to get the antidote, I'm afraid there's no other way to save her. I don't want to drag this out any longer."
"But …" Zhao Ying wanted to say something, but stopped. She wanted to dissuade him, but didn't know where to start. Lu Xuan and Zhao Bing 'er were both precious to her. The best outcome would be for Lu Xuan to get the antidote and return safely. But she was afraid that the worst would happen. What if something happened to Lu Xuan in Octagon Temple?
Lu Xuan knew what Zhao Ying was worried about. He smiled and took Zhao Ying's hand. "Mother, I haven't been by your side since I was young, but you've been with me for a long time. All these years, I've always been able to turn misfortunes into blessings. I'm blessed with a long life, and I was able to survive a deadly situation when I was young. This little danger is nothing. Besides, I'm not facing Octagon Temple this time. The Nangong family is there, and the Jiuhua Alliance is there as well. Nothing will happen. I won't die so easily. After all, mother, you're waiting for me."
Zhao Ying wanted to say something, but stopped. She sighed. "You should think about how to convince your father. He values you more than I do. He won't let you take such a risk."
At this moment, Ye Haoran, who had not spoken since the beginning, also frowned and said, "I did not know that you had such thoughts. Xuan-er, second uncle will have to properly lecture you. You are currently the only direct descendant of our Ye Clan. How can you easily take such a risk? I definitely don't approve of this. "
Lu Xuan smiled and said, "I still have Xuanxuan. Besides, nothing will happen to me. I only have one life, so I'll take care of it."
Ye Haoran looked at Ye Xuanxuan and shook his head. "Xuanxuan is a girl after all. No matter how suitable she is to inherit the position of the family head, she won't be considered unless it's absolutely necessary. After all, this involves the inheritance of the entire family. We can't be careless."
Ye Xuanxuan listened at the side and pouted. Although she wasn't very satisfied with her father's words, she didn't mean anything else. She herself didn't have the slightest intention of inheriting the position of the family head.
At that moment, footsteps sounded from outside the door. Zhao Ying stood up and smiled. "Your father must have returned. I just sent someone to inform him."
As expected, Ye Wuhen appeared at the door with a person. The person behind him was Ye Hao. Ye Hao had followed Ye Wuhen for so many years, so his ability was quite impressive. Hence, Ye Wuhen often brought him along to do things together.
In order to keep Lu Xuan's identity a secret, Zhao Ying didn't tell Ye Wuhen what was going on. She only told him to come back when he was free. At that moment, when Ye Wuhen saw Lu Xuan, she immediately revealed a hint of joy and said, "Xuan 'er? You're back so soon? "
In Ye Wuhen's expectation, it wouldn't be unexpected for Lu Xuan to spend another two years. She was a little surprised that he came back so early. However, Ye Wuhen stopped in her tracks and looked at Lu Xuan from head to toe. With a hint of disbelief, she said, "You … Could it be that you've already passed the Eighth Mountain?"
Ye Wuhen had also passed Mount Jiuhua, so she was naturally clear about the situation in Mount Jiuhua. Once she sensed Lu Xuan's unconcealable murderous aura, she guessed it.
"Indeed. At least I didn't let you down, father." Lu Xuan stood up and said with a smile. Ye Wuhen had sent him to Mount Jiuhua as soon as they met. Obviously, she valued him very much. This time, he was able to pass the Eighth Mountain, which was the best reward for Ye Wuhen.
Ye Wuhen laughed, walked up, and patted Lu Xuan's shoulder hard. She said, "Good, good. You're indeed my son. I thought it would be good if you could pass the Seventh Mountain within three years. I didn't expect that it would only take you a year to pass the Eighth Mountain. You've reached the same level as me. Even I can't pass the Ninth Mountain now."
After a pause, Ye Wuhen continued, "You're at the Fifth Level of the Great Void Realm. Very good. In a year, your strength has increased by three levels. It's a miracle. The next generation of the Ye Clan depends on you."
Lu Xuan smiled. He didn't take Ye Wuhen's effort to heart. However, Ye Hao, who came in with Ye Wuhen, heard this, and a trace of imperceptible malice flashed in his eyes. Ye Wuhen's casual words undoubtedly revealed that Lu Xuan was the true successor of the Ye Clan. Although Ye Hao had guessed it since Lu Xuan came back, he still felt uncomfortable when he heard Ye Wuhen say it.
What made him even more jealous was that in just a year, Lu Xuan had reached the Fifth Level of the Great Void Realm! He still remembered that when he met Lu Xuan a year ago, Lu Xuan was only at the Second Level of the Great Void Realm. There was still a gap of two levels between them. But now, a year had passed, and Lu Xuan had surpassed him by one level!
All of this was because Lu Xuan had made a trip to Mount Jiuhua! It was only because he didn't have the bloodline of the Ye Clan that he couldn't enter Mount Jiuhua!
This extremely "unfair" treatment in Ye Hao's eyes made him feel extremely unbalanced.
