"Who?" Yang Qing Shu slapped the armrest of his chair and stood up, asking angrily.
"Yang Qing Shi!" Yang Qing Shu said word by word.
"What?" Everyone, including Yang Qing Shu, sucked in a breath of cold air.
"Yang Qing Shi?" Yang Qing Shu asked, unable to hide his shock.
Yang Qing Shu said in a low voice, "Yes! I was lucky enough to obtain that item! Along the way, I hid myself and slept in the open, but I was ambushed by the pursuers at Tiger Leaping Gorge a hundred miles away. I was saved by someone! That person took the item, but left behind a name and a message! "
Needless to say, the name left behind must be Yang Qing Shi.
"What message?" Yang Qing Shu asked in a low voice.
Yang Qing Shu glanced at Yang Qing Shu and the other Elders, then said, "Before he left, he asked me to bring back a message. He said, I will be back!"
As soon as he said this, the hall fell into silence.
That incomparably domineering figure flashed in everyone's mind. Memories emerged, and scenes of the past flashed, gradually becoming incomparably clear.
After a long time, a bitter smile appeared on Yang Qing Shu's face, saying, "Does he still remember what happened that day?"
Everyone was silent, as if they did not dare to interrupt!
Yang Qing Shu waved his hand, as if he wanted to throw his worries out of his mind. Then, he sorted out his emotions and said to Yang Qing Shu, "Although you did not complete the mission this time, you have done a great service by bringing back this news for the family. What request do you have? You can ask for it! "
Yang Qing Shu bowed and said, "Patriarch, I request to pardon Yang Xuan's crime!"
"This …" Yang Qing Shu did not expect Yang Qing Shu to make such a request, saying, "Do you know what crime Yang Xuan committed?"
Yang Qing Shu said, "I've heard of it!"
Yang Qing Shu said, "Yang Xuan ignored the family rules and killed Yang Cheng in front of everyone. He also cut off the Seventh Elder's arm. Such a crime can be said to be heinous, how can it be pardoned just like that? "
Yang Qing Shu said, "Yang Xuan is young, I request Patriarch to pardon Yang Xuan!"
Yang Xuan is already fifteen years old and is about to become an adult. How is he still young? "Yang Hanwen suddenly interjected.
Yang Qing Shu said, "Eighth Elder, Yang Xuan lost his father at a young age, so it's inevitable that his temperament is somewhat extreme. However, he's naturally kind, so please give him a chance to turn over a new leaf!"
Yang Zhenbei said coldly, "Merits are merits, demerits are demerits. How can you mix merits and demerits together? You don't have to say anymore!"
Yang Xuan said, "But …" Yang Qingshan suddenly interrupted him and said, "Sixth Brother, there's no need to say anything more. We naturally know what to do with Yang Xuan. You don't have to interfere. You should go back and rest first!"
"But Yang Xuan, he …" Yang Qingshu still wanted to say something, but Yang Zhennan suddenly said coldly, "Why aren't you retreating? Are you going to defy the Patriarch's orders?"
Yang Qingshu had no choice but to bow and retreat. His face was filled with worry.
When he returned home and heard about Yang Xuan, he was first overjoyed, then shocked.
He was overjoyed because Yang Xuan could finally practice martial arts, and his cultivation level was high. He was shocked because Yang Xuan was too daring this time, greatly violating the Patriarch's rules. He didn't know what kind of punishment he would receive.
"No matter what, I have to save Little Xuan!" Yang Qingshu said to himself.
After Yang Qingshu left, Yang Qingshan looked at the Elders and said, "Now, we have two decisions to make. One is Yang Xuan's punishment! What should we do? I hope everyone can come up with an idea. The other is the news that Qingshu brought back. How should we deal with it? "
"Regarding Yang Xuan's punishment, I have an idea!" First Elder Yang Zhendong suddenly said.
Everyone looked at him when they heard this. Yang Qingshan said, "First Elder, please speak!"
Yang Zhendong said, "Today, the Sun family sent someone here. I haven't had time to report to the Patriarch!"
Yang Qingshan didn't know why he suddenly mentioned this, so he said casually, "Oh? What did the Sun family send? "
"The Sun family sent someone to talk about the ownership of the iron mine outside the city!"
Outside Taiping City, there was a huge iron mine with shocking reserves.
A month ago, the Sun family and the Yang family discovered this iron mine at the same time. Even the Chen family and the Zhao family received the news and wanted a share of the profits.
For the ownership of this iron mine, the four major families of Taiping City were in an uproar. There had been several bloody conflicts, and more than a dozen people died.
Now, Yang Qingshan was also having a headache over this matter.
Yang Qingshan said, "This matter is very troublesome. I wonder what the Sun family said?"
Yang Zhendong paused and saw everyone looking at him, so he continued, "The Sun family came up with an idea. That is, each of the four families will send a third generation disciple to compete in martial arts. The iron mine will belong to whoever wins!"
Yang Qingshan thought for a while and frowned, "This method is fair. We can totally agree to it. But, who is more suitable to send? "
Yang Zhendong smiled but didn't say anything. Yang Qingshan suddenly reacted. His eyes lit up and he said, "You mean … Yang Xuan?"
The Great Elder Yang Zhendong smiled and nodded, "The Sun family took the initiative to propose this idea. They must be confident. According to the news I received, they will definitely send the third generation disciple, Sun Li."
"Sun Li? Isn't he the number one expert of the younger generation in Taiping City? He has the cultivation of Level Eight inner force! "Yang Zhennan said.
Yang Zhendong shook his head and said, "Wrong. According to the news I received recently, Sun Li has been promoted to Level Nine inner force!"
Yang Qingshan suddenly said, "No wonder they proposed this at this time. I see! Among the younger generation in Taiping City, with the cultivation of Level Nine inner force, he can do whatever he wants! "
Yang Zhendong nodded and said, "So, we will send Yang Xuan to accept the challenge. If Yang Xuan can win and take the iron mine, bringing great benefits to the family, we will allow him to make amends and pardon his crimes!"
Yang Hanwen got up and said angrily, "Is my grandson Yang Cheng's life lost in vain? Is my brother's arm broken in vain? "
Yang Zhendong glanced at him and said lightly, "The family's interests are greater than anything else. Now, except for Yang Xuan, no one in the third generation of the Yang family can defeat Sun Li! If you think it's not possible, you can propose another person! "
"This …" Yang Hanwen was stunned.
"I agree with this idea!" A cold voice was heard. It was Yang Hanwu who had not spoken since he walked into the meeting hall.
Everyone was a little surprised and looked at him.
Yang Hanwu looked calm and no one could tell what he was thinking.
Logically speaking, the one who should not agree was Yang Hanwu. Who knew that he would be the first to express his opinion?
"Big brother …" Yang Hanwen said anxiously.
Yang Hanwu interrupted him and said, "Hanwen, no need to say more. Let's do it this way!"
Yang Qingshan saw the situation and said, "I think the Great Elder's idea is feasible. Does anyone else have any opinions? "
Those who originally wanted to protect Yang Xuan naturally had no objections. And those who originally wanted to punish Yang Xuan, seeing that even Yang Hanwu agreed, there was no point in them continuing to insist. Hence, they all agreed!
Yang Qingshan saw that everyone was in agreement and said, "Since that's the case, this matter is decided! Great Elder, you can send someone to reply to the Sun family tomorrow and set the time and place! "
Yang Zhendong made a sound of agreement.
Yang Qingshan continued, "Now, let's discuss how to deal with the news that Qingshu brought back about that person!"
Yang Zhenxi raised his voice and said, "We'll deal with whatever comes our way. What else can we do?"
The others were all silent. It was hard to say who was right and who was wrong on that day. Moreover, it involved the current family head, Yang Qingshan, so it was not good for them to intervene!
Yang Qingshan saw that everyone was silent and knew that they were in a difficult position. He sighed and said, "That's all we can do. We'd better wait and see! What will come, will come! "
Everyone was still silent, bowing their heads and not saying a word.
…
In the Yang family prison.
Yang Xuan sat quietly on the cold bed.
Although it was called a bed, it was actually just two pieces of old and rotten wood placed on two pieces of mud.
The light in the surroundings was dim and silent, and a pungent smell of rot and mold filled this narrow space.
From the fist-sized hole above the heavy iron door, a faint light shone in, slightly illuminating a palm-sized area on the ground.
This was the Yang family's dungeon, five feet deep. Yang Xuan had been locked up here for seven days.
In these seven days, Yang Xuan had not moved at all except to get up and eat something that was stuffed in through the small hole under the door.
After these seven days of cultivation and recovery, the cyclone in his dantian finally reappeared and gradually stabilized.
That day when he fought against someone of a higher level, he squandered all the spiritual energy in his dantian, causing the cyclones in the void of his dantian to disappear one by one. Finally, the entire dantian became empty, without a trace of spiritual energy.
This made him inexplicably nervous. However, after these few days of cultivation, he finally relaxed. The spiritual energy in his dantian was just overused, and the instantaneous consumption far exceeded the speed of absorption. Therefore, the cyclones in his body disappeared.
This also allowed him to learn from his mistakes. He knew that this seemingly endless amount of Spiritual Qi would eventually be exhausted.
The feeling of emptiness caused by the exhaustion of spiritual energy made him feel so uncomfortable that he almost vomited blood.
In fact, Yang Xuan could not be blamed. He used two dao techniques, the Golden Moon Slash and the Flame Technique at the same time. One must know that no matter which dao technique, no matter which one it was, the power was boundless and the potential was unlimited. The consumption of spiritual energy was also very large.
Not only did he use these two dao techniques at the same time, but they were also super powerful.
The replenishment of spiritual energy could not keep up, so the spiritual energy in his body was naturally exhausted.
However, after these seven days of sleepless cultivation and absorbing spiritual energy from the outside world, the spiritual energy in his body finally recovered to its initial level. Moreover, the five cyclones also reappeared.
After this battle, not only did he have a deeper understanding of the use of spiritual energy, but he also had a deeper understanding of the two dao techniques that he created. Moreover, the will core in the center of his dantian also benefited a lot and became bigger than before.
In the end, on the path of Qi Refinement and True Cultivation, he had always been groping his way forward. There were no techniques to refer to, and no master to teach him.
Don't forget, he was the only cultivator in this world.
Yang Xuan was not worried about his situation. Firstly, he did not think that he was wrong. Secondly, he did not have a good impression of this family. If the family was unfair, he would just rebel against the family and be free from then on.
However, the only thing he was worried about was his mother. He did not know how his mother was these seven days. She must be worried about him. However, no one would make things difficult for her.
A sliver of coldness surfaced on Yang Xuan's face. This time, he had killed Yang Hanwu in a fit of rage, even going so far as to reveal his strength in front of all the elders to cut off one of Yang Hanwu's arms. In truth, this was not an impulsive decision, but a decision he had made after careful consideration.
He did not have a good impression of the Yang family. Therefore, when his strength reached a certain level, he would definitely leave the Yang family. However, the world was dangerous. He could not bring his mother with him. Therefore, he had to leave a way out for his mother.
He believed that after this, even if he left the Yang family in the future, as long as he did not die, no one would make things difficult for his mother.
Power, power!
In the end, it all came down to power.
Yang Xuan's gaze was incomparably determined. Only with unparalleled power could he instill fear in everyone.
He did not need others to respect him, nor did he need others to be grateful to him. He only needed others to be afraid. As long as they thought of him, they would feel a soul-shaking fear from their bones. That was enough!
This was Yang Xuan's idea! Simple and crude, but direct and effective.
With a thirst for more power, he sank his mind into the void of his dantian and began a new cultivation.
