In the Qinling Mountains, within the Leng Clan's mansion!
Yu Haoran's furious roar caused the seven thousand or so Leng Clan members in the mansion's square to quickly recover from their shock.
Recalling the scene displayed by the memory crystal, their gazes towards Cold Cloud were filled with disbelief and deep disgust.
"Clan leader, what else do you have to say now?!"
Yu Haoran took the initiative to present irrefutable evidence to let the old man know that he had to quickly make a decision. Otherwise, the Leng Clan that had lost three of their strongest ancestors would very likely encounter a truly unavoidable calamity of clan annihilation today.
Anything could be faked, but the memory crystal condensed by the soul could not be faked. Therefore, Cold Cloud, who knew that he could not prove it, simply did not continue to hide it when faced with the old man's questioning.
"That's right, I did kill Mengyao with my own hands. My goal was to obtain a drop of Blood Phoenix essence blood in her body."
Cold Cloud raised his head to look at the thousands of clansmen in the square and finally stopped at the old man who had questioned him earlier. There was a trace of madness in his eyes as he roared.
"Elder Chen, do you think I'm doing this just for myself?!"
"Since the ancient times, our Leng Clan has encountered a total of nine clan annihilation crises. Although we have successfully survived with the special secret technique of our ancestor's bloodline, the clan's strength has been weakened to the extreme."
"Now, the clan only has five Emperor Wu ancestors who are in a state of hibernation. Not to mention the four great guardian clans that have Martial God ancestors, even the Zhou and Shang clans that have more than twenty Emperor Wu ancestors and demigod-level experts watching over them, our Leng Clan is not just a little bit inferior."
Cold Cloud turned his head to look at the white-haired old man who was Emperor Wu, his eyes filled with anticipation as he asked.
"I'm sure Ancestor Junming knows best just how heaven-defying the effects of the Blood Phoenix essence blood on the cultivation and strength of our Leng Clan members are!"
"That's right, I know!"
In the face of Cold Cloud's interrogation, Leng Junming nodded to confirm and explained to the people present in detail.
"With the Clan Chief's talent and potential, a single drop of the Blood Phoenix's Blood Essence would allow him to break through to the Martial Emperor realm in ten days, reach the peak of rank 9 Martial Emperor realm in twenty years, and become a Demigod in fifty years."
"Ancestor Junming is right. If I, Cold Cloud, can become a Demigod within fifty years, I'll be able to lead the Leng Family to become a first-rate family in the Tianxuan Continent. "
After receiving confirmation from Cold Cloud, Leng Junming spoke in a selfless manner.
"At that time, I'll be able to obtain countless resources with my powerful cultivation as a Demigod. Then, I'll use these resources to help more of my clansmen become Martial Saints and Emperor Wu, or even become False Gods."
After that, he lifted his head and looked at Lin Mengyao who was behind Yu Haoran. Two streams of tears rolled down from the corner of his eyes as he continued speaking with a sorrowful expression.
"I, Cold Cloud, am not a cold-blooded person. How can I be so heartless as to kill my own flesh and blood?!"
"Everything that I'm doing now is for the Leng Family. I'm doing this to restore the Leng Family's supreme glory from ancient times!"
After listening to Cold Cloud's eloquent explanation, the disgust in the clansmen's eyes was gradually replaced by gratitude. They even had the urge to pledge their loyalty to Leng Junming.
However, at this moment, there was the sound of clapping in mid-air.
Clap! Clap! Clap!
"Everyone says that I, Yu Haoran, am a person who is eloquent and can talk the living to death and bring the dead back to life. However, after listening to what you just said, I'm ashamed of my inferiority!" Yu Haoran stopped clapping and put away the Memory Crystal.
"Yu Haoran, what do you mean?" One of the clansmen who was most affected by Cold Cloud's words immediately rebuked angrily after hearing Yu Haoran's seemingly praising but actually mocking words.
"Mengyao, after successfully activating the inheritance of the Blood Phoenix Bloodline in her body, her talent and potential have directly advanced to the level of a top demon. She is not inferior to me, Yu Haoran."
Ignoring the other party's rebuke, Yu Haoran turned his head and looked at Lin Mengyao who was lying on his shoulder as if she was sleeping. He introduced her with a gentle expression.
"According to the speculation of a demigod senior, Mengyao, who has the inheritance of the Blood Phoenix Bloodline, can break through the Emperor Wu Realm in half a year, advance to the peak of the Emperor Wu Realm in five years, and have a 70% chance of entering the Martial God Realm in twenty years. All of this is only because of the inheritance of the Blood Phoenix Bloodline in her body."
"If she can receive the support of the Hidden Dragon Fortune, as well as the help of a rare genius in alchemy like me, she will have the hope of entering the Martial God Realm in ten years."
Retracting his gentle gaze from Lin Mengyao, Yu Haoran looked at the over seven thousand people in the square and finally stopped on Cold Cloud. He then asked with a cold smile.
"Cold Cloud, with Mengyao's personality of treating family as important as her own life, if the Leng Clan is led by her, I'm afraid it won't just become a first-rate clan in the Tianxuan Continent!"
"With the special relationship between Mengyao and I, Yu Haoran, the Leng Clan's clansmen won't just break through the Martial Venerable Realm and Emperor Wu Realm!"
Faced with Yu Haoran's continuous questioning, Cold Cloud couldn't help but take three steps back. At the same time, a thoughtful and suspicious look appeared in the eyes of the Leng Clan's clansmen.
"Cold Cloud, no matter how extravagant your words are, you can't hide your selfish actions. Your human nature is worse than a pig or a dog. You will die without a doubt."
Ignoring the change in attitude of the Leng Clan's clansmen, Yu Haoran made a conclusion about Cold Cloud's character and destiny.
"Yu Haoran, even if everything you said just now was true, so what!"
Cold Cloud, who was already powerless to refute, was too lazy to continue refuting. He also didn't want to argue for the sake of his clansmen who would never have any interaction with him in the future.
At the same time, he said proudly as he felt the energy of the Escape Talisman that had been successfully activated.
"Anyway, I've already obtained the blood essence of the Blood Phoenix in Lin Mengyao's body. Moreover, I can use the Heaven-Ranked Escape Talisman to leave your Central Region. Even if you want to kill me, you won't have the chance."
When he felt the teleportation power formed by the Escape Talisman begin to pull his body away, Cold Cloud threatened even more proudly.
"Yu Haoran, you have the blood essence of the Blood Phoenix to upgrade your ancestral bloodline, as well as the storage device left behind by the three ancestors of the Emperor Wu Realm. I have enough confidence to successfully advance to the peak of the Ninth Grade Emperor Wu Realm within five to ten years."
