Outside Xianyang City, in the Wind Pavilion:
Thaling, who had not interfered in the battle between Yu Haoran and the Imperial Clan Court, suddenly asked, "Yu Haoran, where do you plan to go next?"
Yu Haoran fell silent after hearing Thaling's question.
That's right!
Where should he go next?
He should leave the Emperor Qin's Kingdom and go to the ruins he had ventured into in his previous life to increase his cultivation and strength.
However, the ruins closest to the Emperor Qin's Kingdom would take at least two to three years. This would violate his agreement with Qin Lingfei.
If he continued to stay in the Emperor Qin's Kingdom, with the Imperial Clan Court's strength and influence, as well as the Emperor Qin's change in attitude toward him, he would probably end up being hunted down like he had in his previous life.
Although Yu Haoran was not afraid of this, he was very annoyed.
Just as Yu Haoran was considering whether to leave the Emperor Qin's Kingdom or stay in the Emperor Qin's sphere of influence to contend with the Imperial Clan Court, he suddenly felt a trace of vigilance.
He raised his head and saw that half of a red 'heart' character had appeared in his hand at a speed that he could not dodge.
As the half of the red 'heart' character landed in his hand, a painting of Qin Lingfei cutting her palm with blood and using the laws of the Heavenly Dao as the foundation appeared in his mind.
"Only when the mountains are flat and the heavens and earth are united can I break with you!"
"In this life, I will not wait for you, and in this life, I will not marry anyone but you!"
After seeing Qin Lingfei's actions appear in his mind, a trace of warmth instantly calmed the sorrow that had arisen from Feng Qingyun and Chu Zhongyu's cold treatment.
As this warmth rose in his heart, Yu Haoran made the decision to continue staying in the Emperor Qin's Kingdom, and he also decided where he would go next.
"Thaling, return to Fuyang City and investigate how my parents were killed!"
As for the decision to return to Fuyang City and investigate the cause of his parents' death, Thaling did not express any opinion, nor did he agree. He allowed Yu Haoran to make the decision himself.
Because of the heaven-defying changes that had occurred to Yu Haoran when he had used the Rank 4, Rank 7 Nirvana Pill to restore his collapsed foundation, Thaling decided to not interfere with Yu Haoran's cultivation and decisions as much as possible in the future, giving him the opportunity to grow independently.
After making up his mind, Yu Haoran did not hurry to leave the pavilion.
First, he took out the Phantom Mask from his storage ring and used the Phantom Mask to change his appearance and aura. Then, he shrunk the black bear to the size of a palm. After that, he left the pavilion and rushed towards Fuyang City.
…!
Ping Yang City, within the Yu Clan!
Ever since Yu Siqi and Yu Haoran's stunning performance in the Sects' Instigation Competition last year, and they had successfully become disciples of the Sects, the atmosphere of the entire Yu Clan had completely changed.
Regardless of whether it was the servants or the direct descendants of the Yu Clan, as long as they passed by the courtyard of the Great Elder and the Blue Dragon Hall Master, they would appear to be very careful. They were afraid of attracting the attention of the Great Elder and Yu Hongyang and infuriating them.
This was because in the eight months since the Sects' Selection Competition ended, nearly a hundred servants, more than twenty foreign experts, and three direct descendants of the Yu Clan had been indiscriminately killed by the Great Elder and Yu Hongyang on the spot.
The extremely oppressive atmosphere and the danger of losing their lives at any time caused many foreign Elders to choose to leave the Yu Clan. As a result, the strength of the entire Yu Clan had decreased by at least thirty percent.
Fortunately, the Wu Clan and the Cheng Clan, who had also felt the pressure of Yu Haoran and Yu Siqi's talent, did not take the opportunity to attack the Yu Clan.
Rainreveling Pavilion!
The Ninth Elder, who was sitting cross-legged in the Cultivation Refining Room, slowly opened his eyes. After exhaling a mouthful of turbid air that had accumulated in his chest, his eyes revealed a trace of helplessness.
Half a year!
It had already been half a year since his cultivation had reached the peak of the ninth grade Martial Master realm. However, no matter how hard he tried, he was still unable to feel the bottleneck of the Martial Ancestor realm. This caused him to uncontrollably doubt himself.
He doubted whether his talent and potential could only reach the peak of the ninth grade Martial Master realm.
"Ninth Elder, are you there?"
Just as the Ninth Elder was doubting his talent and potential, Lin Yun's voice suddenly came from outside the Cultivation Refining Room.
After Yu Siqi and Yu Haoran displayed astonishing talent and potential and became disciples of the Sects, Lin Yun, who had secretly protected the siblings for over a year, suddenly had his position in the Yu Clan greatly increased.
Even the Great Elder and Yu Hongyang, who had a violent temper and would kill people at the slightest provocation, didn't dare to look down on Lin Yun, let alone the Ninth Elder who directly led him.
And all of this came from the hidden pressure of Yu Haoran and Yu Haoran!
After getting up and leaving the Cultivation Refining Room, the Ninth Elder saw Lin Yun standing outside with a flustered expression. He couldn't help but ask with a frown.
"Lin Yun, what's wrong?"
With the rise of his cultivation and status, Lin Yun's actions had become more steady. It was rare to see him so flustered, which made the Ninth Elder feel that something was wrong.
"Ninth Elder, quickly go to the Great Elder's courtyard. The Great Elder and the Third Elder are about to start a fight over the successor of the Clan," Lin Yun hurriedly said when he saw the Ninth Elder walk out of the Cultivation Refining Room.
After hearing Lin Yun's report, the Ninth Elder's expression couldn't help but change. He immediately used his fastest speed and went straight to the Great Elder's courtyard.
"Third Elder, I've already told you more than once. Even if the Yu Clan Patriarch position remains empty, I will never let your grandson, Yu Qing, become the successor of the Clan." The Great Elder, whose anger was already on the verge of erupting, coldly looked at the Third Elder and directly shed all pretense of cordiality.
"Great Elder, it's been almost twenty years!"
Although the Third Elder was also furious that the Great Elder had directly shed all pretense of cordiality, in order to send his grandson, Yu Qing, to the throne of the Clan Patriarch, he forcefully suppressed the anger in his heart and tried to persuade the Great Elder.
"I, Yu Hongqing, have been loyal to you for almost twenty years.
"In the past twenty years, I can be said to be a gun in your hand. I'll do whatever you want me to do. I've never gone against your wishes."
"Now, I hope you can help me one last time on account of my twenty years of loyalty."
"Third Elder, apart from the matter of the successor, I, Yu Hongzhang, will agree to any request you have." Faced with the Third Elder's persuasion, the Great Elder, who was the weakest in his heart, suppressed his anger and promised.
"Great Elder, is there no room for negotiation?" The Third Elder asked for the last time, unwilling to give up.
"No!" The Great Elder shook his head and said firmly.
"If that's the case, then Great Elder, don't blame me, Yu Hongqing, for being ruthless!"
Seeing that persuasion was unable to make the Great Elder agree to the hope he had bitterly pursued, Yu Hongqing's face couldn't help but darken. He planned to directly use force to resolve the matter.
"Brother, come out!" Yu Hongqing turned his head to the courtyard door and called out.
