"Oh, that's the Lan City Lord who was disowned by the Grand Dean!" Upon hearing the young cultivator's words, everyone suddenly realized who he was.

They had never met Cang Xiong, but Cang Xiong name was well-known. After all, he was the father of Grand Dean Cang Lan, and Cang Lan had caused such a scandal that spread throughout the entire Azure Dragon Continent.

"This Cang Xiong is quite powerful! It's been almost eight hundred years since the Grand Dean Cang Lan severed ties with her father! Look at his blood and qi, so surging, he's in his prime!" A great figure exclaimed in amazement as he looked at Cang Xiong in the Tribulation Book World.

"That's true. Judging from that, her father's cultivation must have reached the late stage of the Spirit Saint realm." Another important figure nodded slightly in reply.

"It seems that the land of Zhao State is also full of hidden talents!" the group exclaimed.

"Wow!!!"

Suddenly, a baby's loud cry came from the sky, and everyone immediately stopped talking and looked up.

"It's born! It's born! Congratulations, sir, on the birth of your precious son!" Upon hearing this cry, the family members surrounding Cang Xiong bowed and offered their congratulations.

"Hehe, good, good!" Cang Xiong couldn't help but smile, but he couldn't completely relax until he received definite news.

"Wah wah wah"

The baby's cries continued incessantly inside the room. The baby seemed to have a very good lung capacity, and its voice was particularly loud. Cang Xiong's face grew even happier as he listened to the baby's loud cries. The louder the cries, the higher the chance that it was a boy.

"Crunch"

At that moment, the door to the room opened, and a midwife came out carrying a baby wrapped in a swaddle.

However, the midwife did not show much joy on her face.

Everyone in the courtyard was watching the midwife. Seeing her expression, they all felt a chill in their hearts. The joyful atmosphere instantly turned cold and desolate, even bone-chillingly cold.

"Congratulations, City Lord, it's a young lady." The midwife came to Cang Xiong's side, bowed deeply, held the swaddling clothes in her hands and presented them, forcing a smile and saying dryly.

"Smack!"

Cang Xiong slapped the midwife across the face, sending her flying and the baby in her arms being tossed into the air.

"Ah!"

This caused a scream from the crowd.

Cang Xiong didn't even glance at him, and left with a sullen face and his back turned.

Fortunately, a quick-thinking family member caught the falling baby; otherwise, the baby would have surely died if left to fall.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, causing the entire background to tremble.

"Click"

A bolt of lightning struck the massive background in the sky, and the moment it appeared, the entire background seemed to have been split in two.

"Splash!"

It started raining heavily.

"My God, blood!" a cultivator exclaimed, quickly activating his Spiritual Power to create a protective shield that blocked the 'blood rain' falling from the sky.

Why is there bleeding?

"Could this be a warning of impending disaster?"

"What's going on here?" In mid-air, a powerful figure frowned as he looked at everything and said in a deep voice.

The other important figures Levitate in mid-air also frowned, looking at everything with suspicion.

In the Bookstore's backyard, after witnessing all this, Ma Feifei instinctively ran into the Bookstore and stood before the Four Spirit Pillars, observing the three pillars of light that were constantly emitting various kinds of light.

"It seems the energy has weakened a bit, not as strong as before." Ma Feifei touched a 'dragon pillar', feeling the energy inside, and muttered to himself.

"Could this be related to Cang Lan's tribulation?" Ma Feifei asked, frowning.

Thinking of this, Ma Feifei ran out again and found that the blood rain had stopped falling from the sky and there was no blood on the ground.

"This blood rain is so strange; it sinks into the ground as soon as it drips," Zhang Caicai said curiously, squatting down and touching the ground.

Upon hearing this, Ma Feifei suddenly felt a bad premonition. Once again, Ma Feifei looked up at the Tribulation Book World in the sky.

Ma Feifei could roughly guess the plot. The Lan City that appeared now was not the Lan City of this time period, but the time period when Cang Lan was born, which should be at least close to a thousand years ago.

The scene that just happened needs no further explanation; it was the birth of Cang Lan. The baby who was innocently flung away by Cang Xiong's slap was Cang Lan, the Grand Dean Vast Academy.

The reason is quite simple: Cang Xiong had hoped that Cang Lan would be a son, but it turned out to be a daughter. Cang Xiong, who already had forty-eight daughters, was naturally unhappy. On the contrary, the huge contrast caused him to slap the midwife and he didn't care at all about the life or death of his newborn daughter.

So here's the problem: the moment Cang Xiong unleashed his fan, lightning struck from the sky, seemingly splitting the projection in two, and a brief shower of blood fell. Is this related to the plot?

"Perhaps this is the beginning of a calamity?" Ma Feifei thought silently as he watched the unfolding events in the sky.

Meanwhile, the plot was still unfolding. Because she was a daughter, the newborn baby was not loved by Cang Xiong, and even the Cang Residence family members were indifferent to her, showing none of the enthusiasm and anticipation they had before her birth.

Consequently, the concubine, who was also Cang Lan's mother, suffered a dramatic fall in status, going from a beloved noblewoman to a lowly servant girl who was looked down upon by everyone.

If it weren't for her status as a concubine of Cang Xiong, she probably wouldn't even be as good as a servant.

However, Cang Lan's mother did not despise Cang Lan, but instead took good care of her. As for Cang Lan's father, Cang Xiong, he never saw Cang Lan again after that incident. He even wrote Cang Lan's name on a piece of paper and had it handed to him by a servant.

"From today onwards, you must remember your identity. You are Cang Lan, the forty-ninth daughter of Cang Xiong, the city lord of Lan City!" The steward said solemnly, looking at the baby held in the mother's arms.

"Cang Lan!"

"The Grand Dean!"

"It really is her!"

When the steward uttered those two words, the cultivators below were all shocked, and even the important figures in mid-air were stunned.

"I never imagined it would be the Grand Dean when he was just born!" an elderly man with a sage-like demeanor exclaimed.

"Yes, I thought this Cang Xiong was a powerful figure living in seclusion, but I never expected this to be a scene from the past," a middle-aged man in black robes said with a complicated expression.

"When the Grand Dean was born, it must have been nearly a thousand years ago, right?" another middle-aged man in fine clothes asked.

"Pretty much. The Grand Dean is truly a prodigy. He's not even a thousand years old, yet his cultivation has already reached its peak," a prominent figure remarked.

"But... why is there a scene here showing the Grand Dean being born?"
