A Family Must Stay Together

The Yan Mo is dead?

Is there anyone who dares to kill the prodigy?

Upon hearing this astonishing news, the intense battle came to an abrupt end.

This news seemed even more shocking than the death of Nanmen Yijian! The rain of swords ceased, the Milky Way reversed course, and vanished into the clouds.

The sound of the flute ceased, and the Beast Tide crawled back into the crevice in the ground.

The shattered space recombines, and the white blade returns to its sheath.

Xiao Ran wiped his sweat... Oh, he hadn't sweated yet.

All that remained was a sky full of Black Flame burning everything.

The black-robed guard clutched his chest, panting heavily.

Although he wasn't injured, he had run out of recovery pills, and continuing would undoubtedly lead to defeat.

Not only Young Master Nanmen ... even prodigies can die! He suddenly couldn't understand the current situation.

The blazing Black Flame did not extinguish for a long time.

Until a figure in blue quietly appeared beside the man in black robes.

She reached out and placed her hand on his shoulder, calming the surging Black Flame.

"That's enough. Senior Yang has done his duty to the utmost, which is admirable. The matter of Young Master Nanmen has been reported to headquarters, and the Dao Alliance will certainly give the Nanmen Family an explanation. But now, you all have more urgent matters to attend to."

Xiao Ran glanced at the person who had come.

This is a scholar in blue robes holding a folding fan.

She was tall and slender, but looked like an ordinary person.

He gives off a refined and cultured vibe, but lacks the artistic flair of Chen Qingyuan; he might just be a pretentious charlatan pretending to be cultured.

But he's a master of fusion!

There are only a few hundred Nascent Body Integration Realm cultivators in the entire Cultivation World, most of whom are old Daoist priests who have secluded themselves and do not concern themselves with worldly affairs; there are very few young people among them.

As soon as he appeared, everyone fell silent.

Now that things have come to this, the black-robed guards have no need to fight anymore, and they've managed to save face.

"I will not disturb the Dao Alliance's business any longer. Farewell."

The black-robed guard glanced at Xiao Ran with a hint of sarcasm before leaving, saying nothing more, but a trace of melancholy appeared in his slightly aged eyes.

He then turned around, took two Golden Core guards with him, and sped north, leaving Chaos City.

North Hanging City.

At the top of the Xing Tian Pavilion, in front of the teleportation array.

Yang Hui suddenly stopped, turned around and said to the two Golden Core guards, "The chaos has arrived. The future belongs to you young people. There is no need to die in unnecessary conflicts. You two have followed me for a long time, and it is time for us to part ways."

The two Golden Core guards naturally understood his meaning.

"The Nanmen Family still has many insightful people, and it won't come to that point. Please allow us to continue following Senior Yang."

"Nanmen Yan was kind to me back then, and I cannot betray the Nanmen Family. This is a dead end. Are you sure you want to follow me?"

"I am willing to follow in the footsteps of my predecessors!"

Yang Hui sighed and took out two very small black pills.

"Then take these two Heart Protecting Pills."

Without a second thought, the two swallowed the pills.

However, Yang Hui shattered his century-old memories with a single Soul-Splitting move.

Donning the cloak, Yang Hui stepped alone into the teleportation array and disappeared into the swirling white light.

Immortal Forest Restaurant, top floor.

The six prodigies sat around a white jade round table.

The surrounding area is filled with the babbling of streams, the chirping of birds, the fragrance of flowers, and the fluttering of bees and butterflies.

However, the atmosphere was extremely cold and devoid of any romantic sentiment.

The scholar in blue paced around the table, hanging his folding fan at his waist as if it were a sword.

It seems even more serious now.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Wen Yushu. I am not very famous in the Cultivation World. In fact, I was the top genius of the Dao Alliance two years ago. It is said that I am the worst Integration cultivator in the Cultivation World. I am the host of this year's Heaven's Chosen Assembly."

The Ranger stuck his bundle of straw and longsword upside down in the ground, crossed his legs, and laughed:

"There's another identity you forgot to mention: the host of the last Heaven's Chosen Assembly. You can't just pretend that you were beaten up by the Heavenly Pride Lingzhou Yue in the last tournament and that this is your first time hosting the tournament, can you?"

Wen Yushu's gaze sharpened, but he maintained his elegant smile.

"You're right. I was too ashamed to come to the main meeting, but the higher-ups assured me that the seven prodigies of this year combined couldn't beat me even with a single finger, so I agreed to come. After all, who wants to embarrass themselves?"

The Ranger was taken aback, then covered his face to suppress a laugh.

"You're quite interesting, much more interesting than the others in the Dao Alliance."

With Wen Yushu having dealt with the troublemaker, the meeting immediately became much more harmonious.

But the atmosphere remained serious.

Wen Yushu stood still, without moving an inch.

"Unfortunately, this year's Heaven's Chosen Assembly is even more troublesome than the last one. First, a prodigy went missing, and now another prodigy has killed the young master of the Nanmen Family."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yuan Guang immediately corrected him.

"Don't get it wrong. It was the young master of the Nanmen Family who forcibly abducted a woman. We four prodigies stood up for justice and killed the young master of the Nanmen Family to rid the people of this scourge."

Xiao Ran was stunned. He hadn't expected that Xuan Yuan Guang was so determined to form a united front that he was even willing to take responsibility for killing a young master from a powerful family.

Wen Yushu turned cold.

"Who killed them is not the point. The point is that the people killed were from the Four Great Families. I have the right and the ability to arrest you immediately and take you to North Hanging City for trial."

The Ranger swordsman curled his lip and continued, "But you have to give us a chance to redeem ourselves, right? It's the same old trick. Is the Yan Mo still alive and needs our rescue?"

"Unfortunately Yan Mo is already dead."

Everyone was speechless.

Wen Yushu did not elaborate further, but instead said:

"The events in Flamefree City have shocked the Dao Alliance. Xiao Tianjiao, the person involved, is also here. The most important thing for the entire Cultivation World now is to capture this Demonic Dragon."

The Ranger immediately interjected, "The events in Flamefree City were thanks to Zongzhi Mountain, and have nothing to do with the Dao Alliance. I propose that the Five Great Powers form a Dragon Hunting Team of Prodigies and compete with the Dragon Hunting Team of the Wraith Punishment Bureau to see who catches the dragon first."

Xiao Ran was slightly taken aback.

I thought it was Xuan Yuan Guang who made the suggestion, but it turned out to be Ranger who did, which shows that the two of them are indeed very good friends.

"That's a good idea."

Xiao Ran put away the dragon bone and was the first to raise his hand in approval.

Murong Yu also raised her hand, making the exact same gesture as Xiao Ran: "I will go with Junior Brother Xiao."

No, if you agree, you agree, but why are you acting with me? I have an old man...

Ahem, I do have Master!

Xiao Ran trembled with fear.

Me too.

Xuan Yuan Guang nodded and said:

"If Lu Pingtian of the Saint Demon Sect can bring in a replacement Yan Mo, he will definitely agree."

Everyone looked at Hua Lian and Wu Yu.

Wu Yu sat upright, and it was unclear what he was saying.

I thought to myself, "Don't look at me like that, I'm just here to make up the numbers."

Hua Lian crossed her arms and said confidently, "You guys can do whatever you want, but Junior Brother Xiao will be teaming up with us."

Xuan Yuan Guang frowned.

"Why?"

Hua Lian said earnestly, "Because I'm going to have his child soon, and the whole family needs to be together."

"Puff--"

Xiao Ran had just taken a sip of tea when he looked down and spat it out, soaking his crotch. He was reminded of a night when he was thirteen.

The Ranger had a sullen face.

Damn it, when they recruited me, why didn't anyone have a child for me? How can a top talent from the main branch have no shame? "So, are there really no normal female talents in the Dao Alliance?"

He spread his hands in Ranger manner.

Murong Yu frowned slightly, glanced at Hua Lian, and then at Xiao Ran.

"Let's hear what Junior Brother Xiao has to say."

Xiao Ran didn't dare to speak recklessly, but he was also embarrassed to embarrass Hua Lian in public.

"I have to listen to my Master on this matter."

Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief...

Wen Yushu took out six Jade Slip and threw them on the table.

"The Dao Alliance has far more resources than you imagine. The contents of the Jade Slip may offer some inspiration for your cultivation."

The six people looked at each other, then each took one, opened it, and took a look.

Inside was a white cloth with rubbings, and incomplete, heterogeneous characters were engraved on it.

The moment they saw the alien script, their minds went blank, and they simultaneously felt the profound laws of the Dao penetrating deep into their souls.

It's indescribable, ineffable; it can only be felt, not expressed in words.

The six people looked astonished and fell silent, too shocked to speak.

Even Hua Lian and Wu Yu were seeing this thing for the first time.

Murong Yu, in particular, underwent a dramatic change in demeanor, her face flushed slightly, giving the impression that she was about to undergo a metamorphosis.

Xiao Ran thought to himself, "Isn't this Ancient Stele?" Although the inscription retained very little information after being rubbed many times, it was still very impactful for someone seeing it for the first time.

Isn't this thing a top secret of the Dao Alliance?

Xuan Yuan Guang frowned deeply.

Although this was the first time he had seen the inscription, he had heard about it from the patriarch. It was said to be one of the most core secrets of the Dao Alliance. Was it really being used to attract geniuses? Were the geniuses of this generation really that strong? Or was it just that Xiao Tianjiao and his disciple were so strong? He suddenly had the feeling that the dragon bone had been given away for nothing.

Wen Yushu folding fan and slowly paced back and forth, saying:

"Don't be too happy yet. This is just a replica that has been made three times. It doesn't even contain one percent of the original information. As for whether you can get the original inscription, that depends on your potential."

Offer high rewards first, then set entry requirements.

This immediately piqued the interest of the prodigies.

Wen Yushu stopped pacing.

"Perfect timing, now we have a rather troublesome enemy in front of us."

"A few days ago, Lu Pingtian of the Saint Demon Sect was ambushed by a mysterious person in the Western Dark Forest. He was missing for several hours before being found, and it seems that he has some mental problems since then."

"Yesterday evening, Heaven's Chosen Murong encountered Wraith Beast in the Eastern Dark Forest; at the same time, Xiao Tianjiao was attacked by Wraith being in the Western Dark Forest. Fortunately, the two managed to escape."

"Early this morning, three members of the Yan Mo group disappeared in the north. The Yan Mo operates in the form of giant Yan Armor, which are controlled by Yan Armor. The puppeteers' bodies have been found, but the Yan Armor have vanished without a trace."

Hua Lian frowned slightly.

"So someone deliberately provoked the Dao Alliance?"

Wen Yushu paced around the round table again.

"It could be a provocation, it could be for the Yan Armor, or it could be for some prodigy."

"Before the incident, the four teleportation arrays around Chaos City had already activated spatial barriers. It was impossible for the enemy to escape with the giant Yan Armor. They must still be within a radius of three thousand miles of Chaos City. However, the enemy is well-versed in spatial magic and has not yet been found."

Xuan Yuan Guang:

"So our mission is to work together to find the giant Yan Armor?"

He emphasized the word "joint efforts" with a drawn-out tone.

Wen Yushu nodded slightly.

"Exactly."

This task is not simple...

The Ranger took a sip of tea and pursed his lips.

"Your single finger is stronger than all of ours combined, so why don't you look for it yourself?"

Just as Wen Yushu was about to explain, he suddenly heard a woman's voice, cold as the Hanging Moon and intoxicating as the ocean tide, coming from the west—

"I'd like to see whose fingers are stronger than my apprentice's!"
