Blinded by Rage?

"Old Ancestor, to which side does that Spirit Stone Vein belong now?" Yang Tianyou asked.

Yang Haoyu said, "It's currently jointly occupied by the Goldwater Sect and the Flamefrost Sect. I don't know the specifics of how they've divided it up internally, but there are at least two Golden Core cultivators stationed inside the mine!"

"What? You want to attack this mine first?" Yang Haoyu asked.

"No, just mineral veins aren't enough. This time, we're going to go big."

"I will break down the gates of the Goldwater Sect directly! I will make them pay a price for injuring you, my Old Ancestor!" Yang Tianyou's expression was fierce. The thought of his Old Ancestor almost dying at the hands of the Goldwater Sect filled him with rage.

In this world, his Old Ancestor Yang Haoyu was definitely one of the people closest to him.

"Break through the Goldwater Sect's Mountain Gate?" Yang Haoyu exclaimed in surprise. "Are you confident? The Goldwater Sect also possesses a Third-Tier Upper-Grade Spirit Vein, and its Sect-Protecting Grand Formation is Third-Tier Supreme-Grade extremely strong defensive capabilities. Even Nascent Soul Cultivator wouldn't be able to take it down in a short time!"

"Hmph, even the strongest fortresses are breached from within. What if I infiltrate the Goldwater Sect?" Yang Tianyou smiled faintly.

"If that's the case, it's feasible, but... it's not easy. Every major power will strictly check the disciples entering and leaving the mountain gate, and it won't be so easy for you to sneak in!" Yang Haoyu shook his head.

"I didn't say I sneaked in myself. Old Ancestor, please look, what is this?" Yang Tianyou opened his palm, revealing a silvery-white surface with two Exotic Insects lying in his hand.

Void Worm, Formless Insect!

"What kind of Gu Insect is this?" Yang Haoyu asked in confusion.

She wasn't interested in the Path of Gu Insects, so she hadn't really looked through her Lineage's "Great Wilderness Gu Scripture."

She certainly knew about the [Exotic Insect Ranking], but only in terms of the names of the various Exotic Insects; she only knew a part of what they looked like.

After all, not everyone is like Yang Tianyou, with such a wide range of knowledge and a bit of everything.

After Yang Tianyou explained the functions of the two Exotic Insects to the Old Ancestor, Yang Haoyu suddenly understood.

"In that case, what should we do?" She handed the decision over to Yang Tianyou.

After saying those words, Yang Haoyu felt a little dazed, but mostly relieved.

Perhaps starting today, she will have to step down from her position as the Lineage's top decision-maker.

Her grandson, Yang Tianyou, will replace her and become the supreme leader of the Lineage!

"Old Ancestor, I plan to have the Wolf Ancestor and Little True Person Yueyang protect the Lineage, and then join forces with Feng Yuezhi, gathering ten Golden Core Combat Strength to annihilate the Goldwater Sect in one battle. Even if we can't destroy them, we'll cripple them and take a huge chunk of flesh from them!"

"Would destroying the Goldwater Sect alert the Luochuan Sect?" Yang Haoyu hesitated.

Yang Tianyou sneered, "Hmph, so what if they've alarmed us? Isn't the Luochuan Sect going to remain inactive? That's perfect, this time we'll let the Great Elder's Line suffer a silent loss."

"Furthermore, this was a reactive response, not an offensive one."

You should know that it was the Goldwater Sect that launched the sneak attack on you, Old Ancestor, and it was also the Flamefrost Sect that first provoked the war and invaded Dragon Valley County!

Morally, they are fundamentally untenable!

"Alright, since you've made your decision, go for it! But there's one thing we need to be careful about: news of your return has probably leaked out. Will this raise their suspicions?"

"No, Old Ancestor! First, I didn't stay in Luochuan City for long. Second, my aura was well-concealed; low-level cultivators wouldn't be able to tell that I've advanced to the Golden Core. Third, even if they knew I'd advanced to the Golden Core stage, so what?"

"A mere newly Early Golden Core cultivator, even if hailed as a genius during the Foundation Establishment Realm, won't attract much attention after reaching the Golden Core."

"The most crucial factors in this battle are, firstly, Fengling and the others advancing to the Third Tier, and secondly, my Late Golden Core combat power. However, these things cannot be discerned by sight alone, and will not arouse their excessive vigilance!"

Yang Tianyou saw everything very clearly.

To put it bluntly, at this very moment, they are in the shadows, while the Goldwater Sect and the Flamefrost Sect are in the open.

Moreover, their strength has already caught up.

In short, it boils down to four words: the advantage is mine!

"Alright, since you've considered everything, Old Ancestor won't say anything more. I'll go back to healing. You should do what you need to do, and let me know when Old Ancestor 're ready!" Yang Haoyu smiled faintly, stood up, and prepared to return to the Bamboo House to recuperate.

Yang Tianyou quickly grabbed her, flipped his right hand, and took out a Storage Ring containing Ancient Vein Jade Fruit and Spirit Root Modification Resources.

"Old Ancestor, this is the Ancient Vein Jade Fruit..." He explained the functions of both.

"Such precious resources, it seems you've gained quite a bit in the Four Symbols Sect's Secret Realm!" Yang Haoyu said meaningfully.

"Barely enough, I've inherited the White Tiger Lineage's Inheritance!" Yang Tianyou chuckled. Only in front of the Old Ancestor and Yunhua would he show such a boastful attitude.

"The White Tiger Lineage's Inheritance..." Yang Haoyu's eyes showed emotion. He didn't ask any more questions, took the Storage Ring, and walked into the Bamboo House.

On the other side, True Person Goldwater of the Goldwater Sect, looking at the intelligence report passed down from the Great Elder's Line of the Luochuan Sect, muttered to himself, "Yang Tianyou of the Yang Household is back? And he's even broken through to the Golden Core Realm. He's quite a troublesome character..."

Despite saying this, True Person Goldwater didn't take Yang Tianyou seriously.

Faced with a chasm-like gap in strength, a cultivator in the Early Golden Core stage can't change anything.

Not to mention, behind them stood two Nascent Soul Cultivators.

Although these two are far away on Luochuan Island, their influence prevents other Golden Core Forces from interfering rashly.

The Flamefrost Sect.

Inside the Palace, Jilian True Person was playing chess with his senior brother Flamefrost True Person.

"I didn't expect that Yang Tianyou of the Yang Household would also break through to the Golden Core stage. In that case, they will have three Golden Core Combat Strength. Moreover, I heard that a few years ago, Yang Tianyou's Bonded Spirit Beast broke through to the Third Tier. I wonder if it's true or not!" Jilian True Person stroked his beard and placed a black stone.

Flamefrost True Person was a middle-aged man with fair skin, dressed in white, and looked quite refined.

He dropped a white robe and said with a light laugh, "One or two Golden Core cultivators are nothing to do with the overall situation. The Yang Household's Purple Moon Trading Company will eventually belong to my Flamefrost Sect!"

"Haha, that's right. As long as Luochuan Sect and Seven Absolutes Sect don't interfere, we'll definitely be able to slowly devour the Yang Household!" Jilian True Person laughed heartily.

"It's because the Goldwater Sect acted too recklessly. They could have used their power to suppress them, so why did they have to break off relations? If the Yang Household's Golden Core cultivators fight desperately, it will result in mutual destruction, which will benefit no one!" Flamefrost True Person shook his head and sighed.

"Senior brother, I actually think that the Goldwater Sect's actions are actually advantageous to us. Think about it, if we ask them for control of the Purple Moon Trading Company when the Yang Household is in danger, would they refuse?"

"Furthermore, even if the Yang Household were to fight to the death and both sides suffer heavy losses, they would definitely target the Goldwater Sect. Yang Haoyu wasn't injured by us."

"No matter how you calculate it, my Flamefrost Sect can extricate itself from this and reap the benefits!" Jilian True Person shook his head.

He may seem rough around the edges, but he is actually a very thoughtful person. His analysis was very logical and insightful.

However, what he didn't know was that Yang Tianyou, whom they didn't take seriously, would become the biggest variable, and the Flamefrost Sect would suffer a great loss from it.

The Feng Household, Clearwind Valley!

Inside the ethereal wooden Palace, Yang Tianyou Feng Household's Golden Core Cultivators sat facing each other.

He first addressed Feng Yuezhi with a solemn cupped-hand salute, saying, "Brother Feng, Tianyou will never forget your great kindness in saving my Old Ancestor's life. This is just a small token of my appreciation; please accept it."

He handed over a Storage Ring.

Feng Yuezhi quickly declined, "Great White, what are you saying? Our two families are related by marriage, it's only right that we help each other."

I, Feng Yuezhi, dare not speak of anything else, but I am absolutely kind to my own family. How could I possibly accept your gift of gratitude!

Besides, your Old Ancestor already gave me a million Spirit Stones to compensate for the destruction of the Clearwind Diagram, how can I accept your gift again?"

"Lineage are Lineage, and personal feelings are personal feelings. This is my personal way of thanking you for the resources, and it has nothing to do with the Feng and Yang Households!" Yang Tianyou insisted.

After repeatedly declining, Feng Yuezhi had no choice but to accept the gift.

Then, he looked at Yang Tianyou and asked, "May I ask what brings you here, Great White?"

"I plan to join forces with Brother Feng to attack the Goldwater Sect!" Yang Tianyou didn't mince words.

From the moment Feng Yuezhi was willing to risk abandoning the clan's most prized possession to save Yang Haoyu, Yang Tianyou became much more sincere towards the Feng Household.

He has become much less formal and only displays this behavior when he is with close friends and family.

"This..." Feng Yuezhi, Feng Qingyang, and Feng Tingwan, the three Golden Core cultivators of the Feng family, exchanged glances, all thinking the same thing, "Could it be that this Fellow Daoist Taibai has been blinded by anger?"
