In the meeting hall of the Yang Clan.
All the Sage Elders of the Yang Clan had gathered together. They were discussing two important matters. The first was that a descendant had awakened the Atavistic Bloodline and caused the will of the ancestor to appear, raising the bloodline grade of everyone below the Saint level of the Black Tortoise Bloodline. They had to come up with a plan to deal with this matter. The second matter was that the Great Grandmother was ready to die at any time. Without this great figure holding the fort, the Yang Clan would be in imminent danger.
Yang Qingxing sat on the seat of the clan leader and looked at the Sage Elders around him with a serious expression. These two matters were extremely troublesome. If they were not handled carefully, it could easily cause internal strife in the clan.
Most of the Sage Elders were from the Azure Clan. Only Yang Liuyu, Yang Liuxi, and Yang Mingrong were from the Black Tortoise bloodline. There were also two other Black Tortoise bloodline Sage Elders who had not returned for many years.
"Clan leader, these two matters must be decided as soon as possible. We cannot delay any longer." Yang Liuyu looked at Yang Qingxing and said.
Before Yang Qingxing could speak, Sage Elder Yang Muzhen from the Azure Clan said, "I agree that you should focus on cultivating the atavistic youth. However, he is a descendant of the sinner's bloodline after all. Our clan cannot give him too much support. Everything will depend on the support of the three of you. I believe that with the three of you Sage Elders' abilities, it will be more than enough to cultivate a youth."
Another Sage Elder from the Azure Clan said, "That's right. That youth did not grow up in the Yang Clan and has no sense of belonging. I heard that his character is not good either. I am afraid that we will cultivate an ungrateful person."
Yang Liuxi said in a deep voice, "Don't talk nonsense. Even if that youth is of the sinner's bloodline, now that the great grandmother has brought him back to the clan, their bloodline's past is over. Don't keep harping on this point. You are worried about his character. I think there is no need to worry about this at all. I have seen that youth before. He has a righteous face and is definitely not an evil person."
"Sage Elder Liuxi, you are wrong. A bad person would not write the word 'bad' on their face." The Sage Elder from the Azure Clan retorted.
Yang Mingrong was furious. He slammed the table and said, "Fine. If you don't support him, the three of us will do our best to cultivate him. Don't interfere."
"We're all family. Ming Rong, you don't have to be so emotional." Patriarch Yang Qingxing tried to smooth things over. He continued, "Let's leave him to the three elders. If he needs help from the clan, we'll help him if we can. Also, we really do need to pay more attention to his character. I suggest that we let him live in the clan for a period of time, and let him cultivate and live with the other youths in the clan. Then we can judge whether his character is good or not."
"I agree with the Patriarch's suggestion."
"I agree too!"
…
The elders of the Azure faction agreed with Yang Wu's decision. The three sages of the Black Tortoise faction had nothing to say. They didn't want to be entangled in this matter. As long as the other party allowed Yang Wu to establish himself in the clan, with their ability, wouldn't it be easy to groom a youth?
"Great-grandmother has already asked Qing Feng to send her last words. What does everyone think?" One of the elders asked.
The elders present all maintained their silence. No matter how much internal strife they had, they were all aware of Great-grandmother's position in the clan. With her around, the Yang clan was like a stabilizing force. If she wasn't around and the Xing clan came to invade, they would probably be exterminated.
"Can we ask for help from the Li clan?" One of the elders asked.
"Right now, we're not thinking about asking for help, but how to deal with Great-grandmother's matter," Yang Liuyu said unhappily. After a pause, he said, "I don't think this matter should be made public. I believe Great-grandmother doesn't want to make a big fuss about it either. Besides, we've already welcomed Little Ancestor Taihe back. If we can help him recover to his peak, our Yang clan might still have a chance."
"If Little Ancestor Taihe wants to recover, I'm afraid he won't be able to do it without a hundred years of effort. Besides, it's still unknown whether he'll be able to fully recover." Yang Muzhen said.
"Even with Little Ancestor Taihe's abilities, he can't recover in a short period of time?" Someone asked doubtfully.
"After being burned by the Xing fire for thousands of years, it's already a miracle that he's still alive. If he wants to recover in a short period of time, unless he has the Art of Rebirth, he can only slowly recover. That kind of injury has seeped into his bones." Yang Qingxing said.
"No matter what, we have to give Great-grandmother a proper burial and do our best to help Taihe recover in a short period of time." Yang Mingrong said.
Yang Liuxi said, "The Xuanyuan clan has the Fruit of Rebirth. Can we …"
Before he could finish, Yang Muzhen interrupted him, "If it weren't for what happened eight hundred years ago, perhaps the Xuanyuan clan could make a deal with us. But with the current situation, it's impossible."
"That's right. The Fruit of Rebirth is a divine item. Even though the Xuanyuan clan is no longer pursuing the matter, it's not realistic to ask them to make a deal with us." Another elder agreed.
… …
No matter how much the Yang clan argued in the hall, it didn't affect Yang Jingtao's return to the clan for the time being.
Yang Jingtao's wish of many years was finally fulfilled.
Under Yang Jinghai's leadership, the Yang clan held a simple ceremony for Yang Jingtao, allowing him to return to the Yang clan. Yang Jingtao's ancestors were re-recorded in the clan records.
Originally, the clan elders had discussed not allowing Yang Jingtao's ancestors to be recorded in the clan records. After all, they were of the Blood of Sin. If the descendants could be cleared of their crimes, they could only allow the descendants to return, not the ancestors. But with the appearance of Great-grandmother and Yang Wu's great contributions, their ancestors were allowed to be recorded in the clan records.
Yang Jingtao was able to welcome his ancestors back to the clan. He hugged the clan records and cried for an entire night. He really wanted to share this moment of joy with his grandson. Unfortunately, his grandson seemed to have important matters to attend to and couldn't see him for the time being. He could only cry in joy alone.
Yang Jingtao had destroyed his own bloodline when he was in the outer court of the Yang clan. Even though his cultivation level wasn't affected, the power of his bloodline was difficult to recover. He didn't feel disappointed because of this. On the contrary, he had paid so much. If he could protect the bright moon and the clouds, it was all worth it.
Moreover, he had a grandson that he was proud of. He was satisfied with this life.
Who knew that a few days ago, his destroyed bloodline power suddenly recovered and improved rapidly. All of this was unexpected. He faintly felt that all of this had something to do with his grandson.
After his bloodline power recovered and improved, he was full of hope that his future days would be better.
Yang Jingtao didn't get carried away because of this. He planned to make some friends in the Yang clan, hoping to integrate into the clan. However, the Yang clan members living here all looked at him with a superior gaze. They didn't put him in their eyes at all, which was a big blow to him.
Fortunately, Yang Hongchang and Yang Jie continued to come to congratulate him, which made his residence a little livelier.
This time, it wasn't just the two of them who came. Shu Yujun, Lei Zongjun, Yang Ba, Bai Luoyun, and the Five Heroes of the Roaming Sword also came.
The reason why they could enter the Yang clan was that Shu Yujun and Wang Yuyang paid a visit in the name of the Heng Mountain Sect.
The Heng Mountain Sect was a first-class force of the Five Mountains Sect. It was stronger than the current Yang clan. After the Yang clan learned that Shu Yujun was the daughter of the Heng Mountain Sect's leader, they became extremely enthusiastic. If they could gain the friendship of the Heng Mountain Sect, the Yang clan would naturally be happy.
The Yang clan was in troubled times. Shu Yujun came to visit Yang Jingtao after paying a visit to the patriarch of the Yang clan.
On this day, Shu Yujun was dressed in a dignified and elegant manner. With a bright and beautiful face and an exquisite figure, she exuded a valiant and capable charm. Wherever she went, the breathing of the Yang Family's youths became rapid.
Shu Yujun was the eldest daughter of the Heng Mountain Sect. Her temperament was so outstanding that even the arrogant Yang clan members were attracted to her.
With Shu Yujun's beauty, she was considered one of the top young women in the Transcendent World.
After coming out of the City of Redemption, she successfully broke through to the top-level Heavenly Fish Realm. Her temperament was even more extraordinary.
"You're all here. Come in quickly." Yang Jingtao saw these familiar faces and warmly welcomed them into the house.
Yang Jingtao was now living in the periphery of the Yang clan. It was basically a place where the collateral relatives lived. Fortunately, he was arranged a small courtyard. When Yang Wu returned, there would be a place to stay.
"Grandpa, why did the Yang clan arrange such a remote place for you?" Shu Yujun had lived a luxurious life since she was young. Seeing how the Yang clan treated Yang Jingtao, she was dissatisfied.
Yang Hongchang and Yang Jie both showed a hint of embarrassment. They did not know how to answer. Both of their realms had improved. Yang Hongchang had reached the top-level Heavenly Fish Realm while Yang Jie had reached the Heavenly Fish Realm. Their bloodline power had increased by 10%.
"It's good to have a place to stay in the inner courtyard. The Xuan Qi of Heaven and Earth here is very rich. I'm very satisfied." Yang Jingtao said contentedly.
"My lord, there are no servants here. Why don't I stay and help?" Bai Luoyun said.
The Five Heroes of Roaming Sword also said in unison, "We're willing to stay."
They had chosen to follow Yang Wu. Naturally, they prioritized Yang Wu's matters.
"I appreciate your kindness. We'll talk about it when Wu 'er comes back." Yang Jingtao said with relief.
"Yang Hongchang, when will Yang Wu come back?" Shu Yujun turned around and asked Yang Hongchang.
Yang Hongchang shook his head and said, "I don't know about this. I asked the elders and heard that he has come back. It's just that it's not convenient for him to show up."
"You'd better pray that nothing happens to Yang Wu. Otherwise, I'll definitely persuade my father to be rude to the Yang clan." Shu Yujun said strongly.
Now, her heart was tied to Yang Wu. She treated him as her man and did not want anything to happen to him.
Yang Jie said, "We don't want anything to happen to him either. I think he'll be fine too. I believe we'll meet again soon."
"You don't have to worry. My lord is fine." Yang Ba said seriously as he covered his heart. He sighed in his heart. "My body was reborn because of my lord's blood. If he dies, I'm afraid I won't be able to live either."
