Inside the cultivation room of the cave!
"Young Master, I'm actually not a Loose Cultivator. I'm from the Shen Clan of the central region."
Yu Haoran went straight to the point and expressed his honesty. Shin Ho-kong knew that Yu Haoran had already guessed that he wasn't a Loose Cultivator.
Fortunately, he had already decided to be honest with Yu Haoran, so he didn't hesitate and started to explain his background and background in detail.
"The Shen Clan is one of the most ancient clans in the Tianxuan Continent. We have the bloodline of the Heavenly Leopard from ancient times …!"
Following Shen Haokong's detailed narration, Yu Haoran's gaze towards him revealed a trace of admiration and pity, and the vigilance and wariness he originally had towards him gradually disappeared.
Shin Ho-kong was the third son of the previous clan leader of the Shen Clan. At the same time, he was also the most outstanding disciple in terms of talent, potential, perseverance, and comprehension.
However, as a clan that had inherited the bloodline of ancient divine beasts, although the potential for cultivation was important, what they really valued was the purity of their ancestral bloodline.
But for some reason, although Shin Ho-kong's potential was the strongest in the younger generation of the clan, the purity of the ancestral bloodline in his body couldn't even be compared to an ordinary clansman.
Although his potential was outstanding, his talent was at the level of a top genius, and he was also the clan leader's son, he didn't receive any attention in the clan.
If it was just that, the indifferent Shin Ho-kong wouldn't have cared. However, his outstanding potential for cultivation allowed him to display a bloodline that was much purer than the descendants of the clan's ancestors. This caused him to suffer a lot of jealousy and suppression.
If it was only the suppression of ordinary descendants, his forbearing character would have allowed him to accept it. However, among these people who suppressed him, there was also his half-brother who had the same father but a different mother.
Since he didn't want to make things difficult for his father, and didn't want an unpredictable tragedy to happen in the future, Shin Ho-kong chose to leave the clan and cultivate alone as a Loose Cultivator.
"Elder Shen, have you ever thought of returning to the Shen Clan?" Yu Haoran probed.
Although Shin Ho-kong had only briefly explained why he was leaving the family, Yu Haoran could tell from his tone and the tenderness that flashed through his eyes from time to time that he was still deeply reluctant to part with the family.
If he still held onto the idea of returning to the Shen Clan, then the most he could do was to explain the doubts that had accumulated in his heart during this period of time, and then preserve the method to activate the Demon Subduing Physique.
After all, he couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't come into conflict with the Shen Clan in the future, and he didn't want to nurture a terrifying opponent.
"Young Master, in the future, I will definitely return to the Shen Clan. However, it is not because I am reluctant to part with the clan's power, and it is also not because of the so-called father-son relationship or brotherhood."
As if he didn't hear Yu Haoran's probing just now, Shin Ho-kong's eyes revealed a trace of tenderness as he explained.
"It's for my twin sister who was born at the same time as me!"
"Elder Shen, could it be that your sister hasn't contacted you in all these years?" Yu Haoran asked with some doubt.
To be able to live in the Shen Clan for so long, it meant that the purity of the ancestral bloodline in his sister's body was still not bad.
Then, in these tens of years when Shin Ho-kong suffered from the backlash of his heart's demon, could it be that his sister hadn't contacted him? Yu Haoran didn't believe this at all.
After all, as the inheritor of the ancient divine beast Heavenly Leopard's bloodline, there must be a special method of communication, unless Shen Haoran took the initiative to cut off all contact.
Faced with Yu Haoran's questioning, Shin Ho-kong suddenly became silent.
After a full ten minutes of silence, he raised his head to look at Yu Haoran and asked.
"Young Master, do you still remember that time in the Heavenly Earth Chamber of Commerce's You Xiang Pavilion, I asked you how to remove the Ghost Soul Devouring Poison?"
"Of course I remember!" Yu Haoran nodded.
"At that time, the reason why I chose to leave the Shen Clan was because of my brother's jealousy and suppression. The real reason why I decided to leave was because my sister was poisoned by the Ghost Soul Devouring Poison. I planned to go out and find a way to remove the poison for her."
When mentioning the Ghost Soul Devouring Poison in his sister's body, Shin Ho-kong's eyes were filled with deep hatred.
"Elder Shen, are you sure she's still alive?" Yu Haoran asked with some disbelief.
According to Shin Ho-kong's explanation, he chose to leave the Shen Clan after his sister was poisoned by the Ghost Soul Devouring Poison. The span of time was over fifty years.
As an expert in poison in his previous life, Yu Haoran knew that it was impossible for anyone to survive for such a long time under the corrosion of the Ghost Soul Devouring Poison.
"I'm very sure!"
Nodding heavily, Shin Ho-kong took out a jade pendant from his storage ring. It was a jade pendant that emitted a trace of vitality.
"Young Master, when the direct descendant of our inherited clan is born, the clan elders will intercept a trace of vitality and integrate it into the jade pendant. Then, through this jade pendant, we can know whether the clansmen are alive or dead."
Hinting Shin Ho-kong to hand over the jade pendant, Yu Haoran carefully felt it.
After returning the jade pendant to Shen Hao, he closed his eyes and began to speculate about this strange matter.
Because he was very sure that it was impossible for anyone to survive for such a long time under the corrosion of the Ghost Soul Devouring Poison.
Even Yunxiang, who barely survived because of her strong maternal love, if she didn't use the Ghost Soul Devouring Poison to cultivate poison, it would be difficult for her to live past the age of twenty.
According to his own understanding of poison, then combined with the characteristics of the Ghost Soul Devouring Poison, an idea gradually emerged in his mind. However, whether this idea could be confirmed or not still needed to be confirmed through some details.
"Elder Shen, how pure is the ancestral bloodline in your sister's body?"
"During the coming of age ceremony, when she underwent the clan's bloodline test, the purity of the ancestral bloodline in my sister's body was close to forty percent. It can be said that she has the highest purity ancestral bloodline in the Shen Clan in the past million years."
When mentioning his sister's excellence, the hatred in Shin Ho-kong's eyes was instantly replaced by pride.
"Elder Shen, I remember you just said that the selection of the Shen Clan's successor is based on the purity of the ancestral bloodline. I wonder if your sister has the qualifications to become the Clan Leader?" At the same time that Shin Ho-kong's answer confirmed his conjecture, Yu Haoran continued to ask.
"There is a certain probability, but the hope is not great."
Shaking his head, Shin Ho-kong's tone revealed a trace of unwillingness.
"Although the clan has always adhered to the principle of bloodline, deep down, it still values males over females."
"Therefore, although the purity of the ancestral bloodline in my sister's body is clearly the highest, when the clan decided on the successor, she chose her brother, whose bloodline purity is second only to hers."
