Father and Son Reunite, the Scene Rivaled an Asura Battlefield!

Yan Jing City, Old City District.

This was an area completely abandoned after the terrifying Beast Tide fifty years ago.

Crumbling walls and broken ruins lay everywhere, overgrown with wild grass.

Shattered billboards made eerie creaking noises in the night wind.

The air was thick with the rotten smell of dust, mixed with the faint stench of dried blood.

Li Xuan'er supported Ye Xuan as they trudged unevenly through the ruins.

Ye Xuan's complexion was even uglier than the surrounding night.

He had no idea why Li Xuan'er had brought him to such a ghostly place.

Ever since agreeing to that humiliating condition, he had become a walking corpse without a soul.

Li Xuan'er seemed completely unaware of his emotions.

She walked ahead, her high heels clicking crisply yet lonely against the gravel path.

At last, she stopped before a church that had already collapsed halfway.

Within the Church Shadow stood a blurry figure.

The person wore a loose black robe, with the hood pulled low, shrouding his entire body in darkness and concealing his features.

He simply stood there in silence, as though he had merged with the ruins.

If Li Xuan'er had not stopped, Ye Xuan might not even have noticed someone there.

"I brought him."

Li Xuan'er's voice rang out in the Dead Silence, carrying a trace of respect that even she herself had not noticed.

The Black Robe Figure slowly nodded.

He moved.

Step by step, he emerged from the shadows.

He walked very slowly. Every step seemed to land upon Ye Xuan's heartbeat, filling him with an inexplicable oppression and palpitations.

Ye Xuan's body tensed instinctively.

He watched this Black Robe Figure of unknown origin warily.

Though he was now useless, the instincts he had possessed as a Martial Artist remained.

He could feel that the Black Robe Figure before him was dangerous!

Extremely dangerous!

It was a terrifying pressure, as though he were facing a sleeping Prehistoric Fierce Beast!

This man was definitely an expert!

An expert far beyond anything he could imagine!

Who exactly was he?

Li Xuan'er actually had someone like this behind her?

Countless thoughts flashed wildly through Ye Xuan's mind.

The Black Robe Figure stopped before Ye Xuan. He said nothing and merely looked at him silently.

Though Ye Xuan could not see the other man's face.

He could feel an appraising, complicated gaze with some kind of penetrating force fall upon him.

Under that gaze.

He felt as if he had been stripped naked.

From inside to out, every secret, every grievance and venomous hatred, had been seen Crystal Clear!

"Who... are you?"

Ye Xuan's voice was hoarse and dry.

The Black Robe Figure did not answer his question.

He slowly raised a hand.

That hand was very clean and very pale.

It did not look like the hand an unparalleled expert should possess.

Then, beneath Ye Xuan's gaze, taut to the limit.

He removed his hood.

The moonlight was cool as water.

It fell upon the face revealed from the darkness.

In that instant!

Ye Xuan's body suddenly stiffened!

His entire body seemed to have been struck from head to toe by a Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, leaving him scorched outside and tender within!

His mind became Blankness!

Boom—

It was the face of a middle-aged man.

His features were handsome and sharply defined. Though the corners of his eyes bore traces of time and hardship, his youthful good looks could still be seen.

And that face...

Actually bore a seventy percent resemblance to Ye Xuan himself!

Old City District.

If Ye Xuan was a wolf cub that had yet to grow up.

Then the man before him was a true Alpha Wolf standing atop the Mountain Peak, looking down upon the world!

"Xuan'er..."

The middle-aged man spoke.

His voice carried a peculiar magnetism, gentle yet containing an authority that could not be questioned.

"You've grown up."

Those four simple words.

Were like a giant hammer weighing a hundred million tons, smashing brutally into Ye Xuan's already crumbling mental defenses!

He...

Who was he?

Why did he...

Look so much like him?

Why did he...

Call his name in that tone?

A ridiculous thought, so absurd that even he found it laughable, surged uncontrollably from the deepest depths of his soul!

Impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

He was an orphan!

He had grown up in an Orphanage!

He had no father!

His mother had died long ago!

"You... you've got the wrong person!"

Ye Xuan practically roared those words.

His body was Trembling Violently. The turmoil and excitement in his heart tugged at every wound on his body, and the agonizing pain nearly made him faint.

Yet the middle-aged man's expression did not change in the slightest.

He merely looked at Ye Xuan silently. Within that complicated gaze was an additional trace of pity and disappointment.

"It seems the hardships of these years have made you forget even your own bloodline?"

He slowly extended a hand, palm facing upward.

Buzz—!

A blood-red flame, as though condensed from the Most Pure blood, ignited out of thin air in his palm!

The instant Ye Xuan saw that Blood Flame!

His pupils abruptly shrank to pinpoints!

At that moment, his bloodline began boiling uncontrollably!

Every drop of blood in his body screamed, cheered, and... submitted!

It was an absolute suppression and resonance originating from the deepest depths of his bloodline!

"No... that's impossible..."

All color drained from Ye Xuan's lips.

He collapsed weakly to the ground, completely losing the strength to resist.

No matter how unwilling he was.

But...

A fact was mercilessly laid before Ye Xuan!

He knew.

He no longer needed to doubt it.

The man before him.

The man who brought him endless oppression and Fear.

Really...

Was his...

Father!

Lin Family.

Back Garden

The sunlight was just right, and the breeze was gentle.

Lin Yuan lay comfortably on his exclusive Lounge Chair, covered by a soft Cashmere Blanket, sleeping soundly.

His life these past few days had remained as leisurely and dull as ever.

Other than sleeping, he merely changed locations to sleep.

[ Ding! Detected that the host successfully "gave up" in public for over 24 hours, achieving the "Social Terrorist" achievement. Reward: minor cultivation increase!]

[ Ding! Detected that the host has continuously refused to communicate with others over two hundred times, achieving the "King of Isolation" achievement. Reward: introductory volume of the Heaven Grade Low Rank Skill Book: Great Dream of Eternity!]

[ Ding! Detected that the host's total "lying flat" time has surpassed one hundred hours, achieving the milestone achievement "Ultimate Salted Fish King." Reward: one Mystic Grade Top Rank Pill, Mystic Dragon Crimson Blood Pill!]

These days.

The rewards arrived on schedule.

As for the turmoil triggered by the Su Family Banquet afterward.

Things like the Chen Family being tied to the war chariot, the Liu Family flying into a rage, and that girl named Chen Ruoxi locking herself in the lounge for several hours before coming out...

None of it had anything to do with Young Master Lin.

Could anything in the world be more important than sleeping?

Just as he was at a crucial moment in his date with Duke of Zhou's Daughter.

Boom!

An energy more vast and pure than any before, like the Nine Heavens Milky Way pouring down in reverse, instantly surged into his Limbs and Bones!

Lin Yuan's cultivation bottleneck, which had remained at Qi Sea Realm First Level, did not even last a second before it was directly shattered with the force of decay crumbling away!

Qi Sea Realm Sixth Level!

Achieved!

The entire process did not even leave the slightest ripple on his peaceful sleeping face.

He merely smacked his lips impatiently in his sleep and Turned Over.

Mm...

It seemed he had broken through.

Not bad. At Qi Sea Realm Sixth Level, the spiritual energy within his body had become much richer. He could sleep even more soundly from now on.

As for that Great Dream of Eternity skill...

Lin Yuan casually swept it with his Divine Sense.

Oh, a skill that could operate on its own during sleep, tempering both the soul and the body.

Not bad, not bad. It was practically a divine skill custom-made for this young master!

From now on, even the time spent cultivating could be saved. He could devote himself wholeheartedly to the great cause of sleeping!

System, you really understand me!

Lin Yuan nodded in satisfaction, preparing to continue sleeping.

But speaking of which...

Where exactly had that guy Ye Xuan gone?

Logically, his Dao Heart had shattered and he had become a wanted criminal. The Martial Dao Alliance should have captured him long ago.

But several days had already passed, and there had not been the slightest news.

It was as though he had vanished from the face of the earth.

Lin Yuan began unconsciously recalling the plot of the Original Work.

In the Original Work, though Ye Xuan's public identity was that of an orphan, he actually had a father.

And his father was no small figure.

That was a thoroughgoing, behind-the-scenes figure who stirred up storms across the world...

A Super Arch-villain!

The leader of a mysterious organization called the "Divine Court"!

This organization had gathered countless Heretics and Evildoers, as well as Desperadoes dissatisfied with reality, and had always been devoted to overthrowing the existing Order and establishing their so-called "Kingdom of God."

In the Original Work's plot, Ye Xuan's Father would personally appear in Yan Jing City at the crucial point of the "Wilderness Hunt" for the sake of a certain plan.

Then, through a twist of fate, he would recognize Ye Xuan.

And then came a melodramatic play of the "Righteous Son" battling the "Evil Father"—Love and Hate Intertwined, a Love-Hate Relationship.

But now...

The plot had already been warped beyond recognition by the flutter of this butterfly's wings.

Ye Xuan had fallen into the abyss ahead of time and become a Lost Dog.

As for that woman Li Xuan'er, no one knew where she had gone.

If those two got together...

Could it be...

That Ye Xuan had gotten in touch with his Villain father ahead of time?

A "Former Protagonist" whose cultivation had been crippled, filled with hatred for the entire world.

A "Super Arch-villain" brimming with ambition, determined to overturn the world.

If this Father and Son pair got together early...

Then the fun would be enormous!

Thinking of This, even Lin Yuan's salted-fish heart could not help but ripple slightly.

Things seemed to be getting more and more interesting.

He slowly Closed His Eyes, a teasing smile playing at the corners of his mouth.

Whatever.

No matter how they struggled.

Before this Young Master's absolute strength, they were nothing but Worthless Trash, not worth worrying about!
