Ping Yang City, within the Yu Clan!
After hearing the Ninth Elder's assurance, Yu Haoran nodded and did not express any opinion.
Subsequently, he cast his gaze towards the Third Elder and said indifferently, "You say it!"
"The matter is exactly the same as what the First Elder said." In response to Yu Haoran's command, the Third Elder immediately replied.
"Third Elder, did I ask you to repeat the First Elder's words?!"
With a solemn expression, Yu Haoran sternly reprimanded.
"Describe in detail what you saw with your own eyes!"
"Yes, yes!"
After hearing Yu Haoran's reprimand, the Third Elder immediately panicked and repeatedly said yes. Then, he described in detail his experience at that time.
"Ninth Elder, I'll have to trouble you to bring the four Hall Masters here." After hearing the Third Elder's narration, Yu Haoran closed his eyes and tidied himself up. After opening his eyes, he instructed the Ninth Elder.
"Okay, I'll go now!"
In response to Yu Haoran's command, the Ninth Elder subconsciously nodded and complied. Then, he executed a movement technique and left the courtyard.
After the Ninth Elder left the courtyard, Yu Haoran's gaze turned towards the Cheng Clan's crowd. He was dressed in brocade clothes and had an elegant temperament. He was a middle-aged man around forty years old.
"Cheng Qichen, the secret battle that year had nothing to do with your Cheng Clan. Why did you suddenly appear on the battlefield?"
"This …!"
In response to Yu Haoran's questioning, the Cheng Clan's Patriarch, Cheng Qichen, subconsciously glanced at Yu Hongzhang. His eyes flashed with a trace of hesitation.
Yu Haoran ordered as he condensed a trace of origin energy on his middle finger and directly shot it through Cheng Qichen's shoulder, "Speak!"
Reaching out to cover his shoulder that was shot through by the origin energy, Cheng Qichen looked at Yu Haoran with a frightened expression.
In the beginning, he was afraid of Yu Haoran only because he could command the dragon above his head. He did not think that Yu Haoran's strength was that strong.
However, with just a strand of condensed Origin Energy, he was able to directly penetrate his shoulder. This meant that the other party's cultivation had at least broken through the Martial Arts Grandmaster realm.
It had been less than nine months since the Sect Selection Competition last year. Yu Haoran had gone from the Martial Disciple Realm to the Martial Warrior and Martial Master Realm, directly breaking through to the Martial Ancestor Realm.
The strength of the sect made him yearn for it, but Yu Haoran's talent made him feel fear.
Therefore, Cheng Qichen, who originally wanted to hide some secrets for the Great Elder, quickly explained.
"Young Hero Yu, just before your parents fought with that group of mysterious people, I secretly received a reminder from your Yu Clan's Great Elder, Yu Hongzhang."
"It's said that Yu Hongzhi and his wife are being besieged by strong enemies. If we can help the strong enemies kill Yu Hongzhi and his wife, then our Cheng Clan will be able to break free from Yu Hongzhi's suppression and make a complete comeback."
At this point, Cheng Qichen saw Yu Haoran frown slightly. He was afraid that Yu Haoran would misunderstand that his parents' death was related to the Cheng Clan, so he hurriedly continued to explain.
"However, when I led the Cheng Clan's experts to the battlefield, we discovered that the enemies besieging your parents had not only made their move in advance, but their strength was also too strong."
"One person. There was only one person on the other side. Within three moves, he defeated and heavily injured your parents. In one move, he killed all of your parents' subordinates."
"Cheng Qichen, give me a detailed explanation of the martial skills that the other party used." Hearing that Cheng Qichen had personally witnessed the other party's attack, Yu Haoran hurriedly asked.
"He did not use any martial skills. He only used the Foundation Fist Technique's Straight Punch, Swing Punch, and Hook Punch." Facing Yu Haoran's questioning, Cheng Qichen carefully recalled the scene he had seen and replied with a shocked expression.
Using only the Foundation Fist Technique's Straight Punch, Swing Punch, and Hook Punch, he was able to defeat and heavily injure his parents, who had reached the Martial Ancestor Realm after joining forces.
This situation showed that the other party's strength had either reached a certain level, or his background was not ordinary.
Because the higher one's cultivation, the stronger one's strength, the more one would realize the importance of one's foundation. Therefore, the top forces in the Tianxuan Continent placed great importance on the foundation training of their disciples in the early stages of cultivation.
However, with just this bit of information, it was not enough to deduce the identity of the murderer.
Therefore, Yu Haoran's gaze turned to the Wu Clan's Patriarch, Wu Zhipeng.
Facing Yu Haoran's gaze, Wu Zhipeng subconsciously touched his shoulder.
"Patriarch Wu, you can rest assured."
Facing Wu Zhipeng's startled actions, Yu Haoran said in a gentle tone.
"For Zhengjun's sake, I will not harm you or the Wu Clan's people."
Although Wu Zhengjun's relationship with the Wu Clan was shallow, the Wu Clan was where he had grown up. He had not been oppressed and humiliated like himself, so he still had a certain sense of belonging to the Wu Clan in his heart.
Therefore, he did not want to hurt the brotherly relationship between him and Wu Zhengjun because of his extreme methods.
Of course, if the Wu Clan was directly related to the murder of his parents, then the result would be a different story.
"Young hero Yu, how is Zhengjun now?"
Hearing that Yu Haoran would not harm the Wu Clan's people for Wu Zhengjun's sake, Wu Zhengpeng could not help but feel his face turn red.
After all, during the Clan Selection, Wu Zhengjun had almost died at the hands of his own son, Wu Junda.
If it weren't for Wu Zhengjun's special physique breaking out at the critical moment, his strength skyrocketing to turn defeat into victory, and he became Yu Haoran's fellow disciple, he was afraid that the situation he was facing now would be exactly the same as Cheng Qichen.
Therefore, Wu Zhengpeng, who felt resentment and guilt in his heart, could not help but want to know Wu Zhengjun's current situation.
"Junior Brother Zhengjun is doing very well now. He had just broken through to the Martial Ancestor Realm some time ago and is now in Xianyang City of the Emperor Qin's Kingdom."
Thinking of how Wu Zhengjun had unreservedly trusted him and followed him, Yu Haoran's heart softened and his attitude towards Wu Zhipeng became much gentler.
"What, Zhengjun has already broken through to the Martial Ancestor Realm?" Hearing Yu Haoran mention Wu Zhengjun's realm, Wu Zhipeng asked in disbelief.
"When I parted ways with Junior Brother Zhengjun, he was already at the early third grade of the Martial Ancestor Realm." Nodding, Yu Haoran replied.
Then, he began to ask Wu Zhipeng about the details of the secret battle that happened that year.
"Clan Leader Wu, please carefully recall the process of my parents' murder. I hope you can find clues left behind by the murderer."
It was because of Yu Haoran's gentle attitude and Wu Zhengjun's astonishing cultivation talent that Wu Zhipeng decided to help Yu Haoran.
"Young Hero Yu, actually my experience is similar to Clan Leader Cheng's. I also secretly received a notice from the Great Elder of the Yu Clan and led the Wu Clan's experts to the battlefield. Then, I saw the process of your parents being severely injured by the enemy."
Speaking of this, Wu Zhipeng glanced at the City Lord of Ping Yang City and then walked to Yu Haoran's side and said in a low voice.
