The Master of the Other Shore Hall, Nan Fu of the Branch Family

Upon hearing her words, Nan Xunran merely raised her eyes slightly, her expression unchanged, without the slightest ripple.

He had heard such words far too often, and countless people had made similar pronouncements in front of him; he was already quite used to it.

Other Shore Hall

Yao Nian was tall and graceful, like a poppy blooming in the darkness, alluring and captivating.

She was standing on a dying man, whose throat was deeply pierced by a sharp knife, from which blood was gushing out.

But he was still breathing, emitting indistinct gasps.

Yao Nian's face showed no pity. She sneered and slowly inserted her hand into the man's wound, her voice chilling. "How could you betray me?"

Behind her stood a dense crowd, all silent and trembling, their heads bowed, barely daring to breathe.

Yao Nian turned and surveyed the crowd, coldly saying, "This is the consequence of betraying me."

The crowd nodded hastily, their bodies trembling, fear spreading in their eyes.

At that moment, a dark figure quickly stepped forward, bowed, and respectfully handed her a clean white handkerchief.

Yao Nian took the handkerchief and carefully wiped the blood from her hands, then asked, "Has the Nan Clan made any moves?"

"The Divine Son of the Nan Clan has gone to attend the succession ceremony of the Hidden World Wei Clan's young master."

The person who answered lowered his head, his voice trembling slightly, afraid that he might offend the killing god in front of him if he was not careful.

The man paused, made a throat-slitting gesture with his right hand, glanced cautiously upwards, and tentatively said, "Should we...?"

Upon hearing this, Yao Nian gave him a cold glance. "Don't you know the strength of the Nan Clan's divine son? Are you trying to kill him or me?"

The man's face turned ashen instantly, his legs went weak, and he hurriedly bowed, "I... I'm so sorry, sir!"

Yao Nian snorted coldly, her eyebrows furrowed, and threw the blood-stained handkerchief in her hand hard at his face.

Then, she glanced around, abruptly flicked her sleeve, and shouted sternly, "All of you, behave yourselves! If the Nan Clan notices anything amiss, none of you will live!"

Upon hearing this, everyone trembled and shouted in unison, "Yes, sir!"

Yao Nian tilted her head slightly, her fair neck stretching out a graceful line, and coldly uttered a few words: "All of you, step back."

The crowd responded in unison, "Yes!"

Having said that, he turned and left in a panic, his steps unsteady.

After everyone left, Yao Nian was left all alone.

Her fingers gently traced the cold blade, a maniacal smile playing on her lips as she murmured, "Nan Fu, our feud will soon be settled."

Her eyes were filled with endless hatred.

Wei Clan

A system notification flashed before Nan Xunran's eyes:

[Detected: Yao Nian, the Daughter of Heaven’s Mandate]

[Other Shore Hall]

[Mid King-Sealing Realm]

[Golden Finger: A treasure that can temporarily boost cultivation by three levels]

[Experience: Once Nan Fu of the Nan Clan, later established the Other Shore Hall to seek revenge]

[Heaven’s Mandate Points: 3298/3298 points]

[Current favorability: 50 points]

Nan Xunran frowned slightly and asked, "Nan Fu?"

The System Light Orb circled and danced around him, their light flickering. "He is the head of the four branch families."

Why was the entire family wiped out?

The System Light Orb spun in the air and said, "Nan Fu's son coveted Yao Nian's beauty and wanted her to be his concubine, but not only did he fail, he was also killed on the spot by Yao Nian."

Nan Fu was furious about this and, in order to avenge his son, he slaughtered the entire Yao Clan.

Yao Nian was thrown off a cliff by him, but she was lucky and escaped death.

Although she wanted revenge, the disparity in strength was too great. After all, Nan Fu was Nan Clan, and even if she could kill Nan Fu, she would find it difficult to escape the Nan Clan's punishment.

The System Light Orb floated up and down as it continued to narrate, "Yao Nian is quite capable. Although the Other Shore Hall has not been established for long, it has already become famous."

When he killed Nan Fu's son, he went straight for the kill without hesitation.

After listening, Nan Xunran simply nodded slightly with a faint expression.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, a cold glint flashing in his long, narrow eyes. He thought to himself: It's time to change the head of the Fourth Elder lineage. As for Yao Nian, since she wants to harm the Nan Clan, I should just kill her.

Then, he slowly stood up and steadily stepped out of the room.

Outside the door

Wei Yan outside the door, her gaze never leaving the tightly closed door.

She knew Nan Xunran's habits well; each time she came to the Wei Clan, she would only stay for a maximum of two days.

In the silence, the faint sound of a door being gently pushed open could be heard. Wei Yan looked up at the sound and softly called out, "Divine Son Xunran."

She thought to herself, "The habits are still the same; they haven't changed at all."

Nan Xunran slightly raised her eyes, gave a soft "hmm," her voice clear and cool, like a secluded mountain spring.
