Ocean of Clouds City.
Qin Feiyang had heard a lot about this extraordinary city, but it was the first time he'd been there.
It seemed like the headquarters of Joy Heaven was located in the city.
The western district of the city.
A huge mansion was situated at the outskirts of the city.
The mansion occupied an area of a few hundred kilometers, and it had numerous grand halls.
Before the entrance to the mansion.
Four Imperishable Realm bodyguards stood straight and tall.
There was a Qilin statue on each side, and it seemed extraordinarily mighty.
There was a gorgeous plaque on it, and the words' Zhao Mansion 'were inscribed on it.
Swoosh!
Suddenly.
2 figures descended before the entrance.
"Who is it?"
The 4 guards immediately shot their gazes towards them.
Yes!
They were Qin Feiyang and Zhao Xiaojin.
"You are …."
A trace of surprise and bewilderment instantly crept up their eyes when they saw Zhao Xiaojin.
"Why don't they recognize you?"
Qin Feiyang was bewildered.
"I rarely return to the Ancestral Grounds."
"Even if they recognize me, they don't have a deep impression of me."
Zhao Xiaojin spoke softly.
"Is that so!"
Qin Feiyang nodded.
"I'm Zhao Xiaojin."
Zhao Xiaojin gazed at them as she spoke.
"Zhao Xiaojin?"
They were slightly stunned, and then they hurriedly asked, "Are you that Eldest Young Miss who lives in the Alliance Capital?"
"That's me."
Zhao Xiaojin nodded.
"No wonder you look familiar. Eldest Young Miss, please come in."
One of the guards hurriedly went forward to welcome her, and then he gazed at the other guard and shouted, "Quickly report this to the Patriarch."
"Alright."
Hearing this, the other guard immediately ran inside.
…
When Qin Feiyang and Zhao Xiaojin entered the mansion with the guard, it didn't take long for a group of people to arrive.
They were led by 2 middle aged men, and they seemed to be around the age of 40.
One of them was an initial-stage Ruler while the other was a quasi Ruler.
There was a group of maidservants and servants behind them, and the guard who'd gone to report was amongst them.
"It really is Xiaojin."
The 2 middle aged men gazed at Zhao Xiaojin, and their faces were instantly filled with joy.
"Eldest Uncle, Second Uncle."
Zhao Xiaojin hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.
"Alright, alright, alright."
"Last night, I was still dreaming about your family. I didn't expect it to really come true. You're back today."
"Where are your father, mother and Zhao Yang?"
"They didn't come back together?"
The two of them were overjoyed. They looked behind Zhao Xiaojin and asked.
"They …"
Zhao Xiaojin's face immediately darkened.
When the two of them saw Zhao Xiaojin's reaction, their eyelids twitched and they asked, "Did something happen?"
"Let's go to the main hall first!"
Zhao Xiaojin glanced at the maids and servants behind them and smiled faintly.
"Alright."
The two of them nodded and turned around to lead Zhao Xiaojin and Qin Feiyang forward.
About a hundred breaths later.
The four of them arrived in front of a magnificent palace.
Zhao Xiaojin glanced at the main hall and walked in first.
Qin Feiyang was about to follow him in, but Zhao Xiaojin's eldest and second uncles suddenly stopped him.
"Hmm?"
Qin Feiyang looked at the two of them suspiciously.
Zhao Xiaojin's eldest uncle said apologetically, "Be careful, this is the meeting hall of the Zhao family. Outsiders are not allowed to enter."
"It's okay, he's my friend."
Zhao Xiaojin said.
The two of them looked at each other and stopped Qin Feiyang. They smiled and said, "I'm sorry, we've offended you."
"It's okay."
Qin Feiyang smiled faintly and entered the main hall.
The main hall was very spacious, and the decorations were quite luxurious.
"Go and prepare tea."
Zhao Xiaojin's eldest uncle looked at the maid beside him and said something before following him into the main hall.
"No need."
"The others are waiting outside."
Zhao Xiaojin said.
Hearing this.
Zhao Xiaojin's eldest and second uncles looked at each other and felt more and more uneasy. They waved to the maids and servants and closed the door of the main hall.
"Little Jin, what exactly happened?"
The two of them walked in front of Zhao Xiaojin and frowned.
Zhao Xiaojin sighed. With a wave of his hand, the corpses of Zhao Eryong and the other two appeared.
"This is …"
The two of them froze.
Zhao Xiaojin's eldest uncle bent down and stared blankly at the bloody corpses of the three.
"Xiaojin, what's going on?"
"Who killed them?"
All of a sudden.
He raised his head and stared at Zhao Xiaojin, roaring with bloodshot eyes.
Zhao Xiaojin remained silent.
"Hurry up and tell me!"
Zhao Xiaojin's second uncle urged. He also looked like he was about to crack his teeth.
"They died in the hands of the Tenth Elder's grandson."
Zhao Xiaojin said.
"Tenth Elder?"
The two of them were slightly stunned and asked, "Which Tenth Elder?"
"The Tenth Elder of the Rogue Cultivator Alliance."
Zhao Xiaojin said.
"What?"
"Why did his grandson kill Third Brother?"
Their expressions changed abruptly.
Zhao Eryong was ranked third, so they called him Third Brother.
However …
Zhao Eryong was born with better talent than them. Coupled with the fact that he had joined the Rogue Cultivator Alliance and received good resources, his cultivation was stronger than theirs.
"It's all in the past. Let's not talk about it."
"Help me prepare a burial for them."
Zhao Xiaojin sighed.
"Why didn't you mention it?"
"Even if he's an elder of the Rogue Cultivator Alliance, he can't kill the innocent!"
"Xiaojin, tell Big Uncle and Second Uncle honestly. Did your father do something wrong that brought about his death?"
The two of them said.
"No."
Zhao Xiaojin shook her head.
"Don't ask anymore. Just do as she says and let her be quiet for a while."
Qin Feiyang sighed.
"But …"
The two of them frowned.
"Don't worry, the grandson of the Tenth Elder and his accomplices have already died in our hands."
"Zhao Eryong and the others have also been avenged."
Qin Feiyang said.
"They're already dead. What's the use of taking revenge?"
"That's right. Even if we take revenge, can they still be resurrected?"
The two of them lamented.
"They can't be resurrected, but they won't die in peace."
Qin Feiyang said.
"Sigh!"
The two of them sighed and turned to look at Zhao Xiaojin. "Xiaojin, have a good rest. You don't have to worry about Third Brother and the others. We'll arrange it."
With that, the two of them opened the door and left quickly.
…
Zhao Xiaojin waved her hand and closed the door. She looked at Qin Feiyang and said, "I still can't accept it."
"Then what do you want?"
Qin Feiyang asked.
"I want the Tenth Elder's life!"
Zhao Xiaojin said word by word, her eyes full of resentment.
Qin Feiyang was taken aback. He muttered to himself, "This … isn't impossible …"
"Hmm?"
Zhao Xiaojin immediately looked at Qin Feiyang in surprise.
"However, you have to work hard and cultivate to reach the Tenth Elder's level first."
Qin Feiyang said.
Hearing this, Zhao Xiaojin suddenly felt helpless.
The Tenth Elder was a peak figure in the Rogue Cultivator Alliance. His strength was unfathomable. It would be difficult to catch up to him!
"You have to believe in yourself. You can do it."
Qin Feiyang smiled faintly.
"Can I really do it?"
Zhao Xiaojin looked at Qin Feiyang.
Qin Feiyang didn't answer. He sat in front of the table and lowered his head in silence.
Seeing this, Zhao Xiaojin sighed and said, "It seems that you don't have much confidence in me."
"No."
"I'm thinking about whether I should help you."
Qin Feiyang shook his head and waved his hand. A soundproof barrier appeared.
"Help me?"
Zhao Xiaojin was stunned. She suddenly remembered Qin Feiyang's identity. If Qin Feiyang used the Sovereign Divine Weapon, wouldn't it be easy to kill the Tenth Elder?
"Don't think too much."
"Although I have a Sovereign Divine Weapon, it's not something I can control."
"Besides, revenge is more meaningful if you do it with your own hands."
"The help I'm talking about is increasing your potential and comprehension."
Qin Feiyang said.
"Increasing my potential and comprehension?"
Zhao Xiaojin was stunned. How could such a thing be possible?
"Your father is also my subordinate. I do have a duty to help you."
"However, some things are too important. I have to consider it carefully and see if you are worthy of my trust."
Qin Feiyang said.
"You can trust me!"
Zhao Xiaojin hurriedly said.
As long as she could increase her potential and comprehension, as long as she could catch up to the Tenth Elder, she would do anything!
"Really?"
Qin Feiyang looked at her.
"En."
"I swear on my parents' souls."
Zhao Xiaojin nodded.
Qin Feiyang looked deeply at Zhao Xiaojin and said, "Okay, after dealing with your father's funeral, follow me to the Black Tortoise World."
"Okay."
Zhao Xiaojin nodded.
Although Qin Feiyang didn't say how to help her increase her comprehension and potential, the confidence in Qin Feiyang's brows made her not doubt it.
…
At the same time.
Outside!
Zhao Xiaojin's eldest uncle and second uncle were walking side by side, and their faces were covered in sorrow and worry.
"Big Brother, our Zhao Clan was able to gain a foothold in Ocean of Clouds City in the past because of Third Brother. Now that Third Brother has been killed, it's equivalent to us losing our backing. What would our Zhao Clan do in the future?"
Zhao Xiaojin's second uncle sighed.
"I'm worried as well!"
"I never expected that Xiaojin would return with such bad news."
"I can't figure it out. How did they offend such a terrifying existence like the Tenth Elder?"
Zhao Xiaojin's eldest uncle shook his head.
"Yes!"
"Do you think people like us can afford to offend someone at this level?"
"Alas!"
"Our Zhao Clan's future is worrying!"
"Let's not talk about losing Third Brother for now. Let's talk about the Tenth Elder."
"Third Brother's family offended the Tenth Elder. Moreover, according to what that fellow said, they even killed the Tenth Elder's grandson."
"If the Tenth Elder is really a vengeful person, then he will probably drag us down with him in the end!"
Zhao Xiaojin's second uncle sighed.
Zhao Xiaojin's eldest uncle's gaze instantly shook when he heard this, and he spoke in a low voice, "I hadn't thought of that. Now that you've mentioned it, it really is bad."
"So, we have to think of a way."
"Why don't we take the core disciples of the clan with us once we bury Third Brother and the others, conceal our identities, and leave the city?"
Zhao Xiaojin's second uncle spoke softly.
"Leave the city?"
"Then what about our huge estate?"
Zhao Xiaojin's eldest uncle frowned.
"Why bother about the estate now? Staying alive is more important!"
Zhao Xiaojin's second uncle exclaimed.
Zhao Xiaojin's eldest uncle's face changed indeterminately, and he shook his head, "I'm truly unable to give up on such a huge estate. However, we can hide for now and lay low until the situation changes. If it really doesn't work out, then we'll conceal our identities!"
Zhao Xiaojin's second uncle pondered deeply for a moment, and then he nodded, "Alright, then it's decided."
"Yes."
Zhao Xiaojin's eldest uncle nodded.
"Both of you are very sensible!"
Just as the two of them finished speaking, a cold laugh suddenly sounded from the void beside them.
"Who is it?"
Both of them were shocked, and they hurriedly swept their gazes towards the side, yet they weren't even able to see a shadow.
