Yang Ning had invented the Bloodline Jade Pendant several years ago, but its special function meant it was impossible to advertise it extensively and make it popular from the start.

You need someone incredibly bold to test the effects first, and then spread the word privately through word of mouth.

Unfortunately, this monk's dao companion was one of the users.

After the cultivator noticed something was wrong, he didn't rush to lash out. Instead, he bought a matching jade and replaced the child's garment with it. Then, he used the reconnaissance skills he had learned in the military to start tracking his wife. While she was in seclusion, he checked her phone, befriended her best friend, and used words to extract information.

Finally, he arrived at a piece of information that shattered his world.

The child's biological father is very likely a dissolute man from a noble Aristocratic Clan of the sixth rank.

That guy's cultivation level was far inferior to his, but he was also completely helpless against that person!

After all, that man's guards were enough to take on ten of my own!

Should he confront his dao companion about it?

It's impossible. His wife comes from an eighth-rank noble Aristocratic Clan. Even if they confront each other, what can they do? His Lineage, in order to curry favor with that eighth-rank Aristocratic Clan, will never allow him to break up with her!

When anxious and distressed, cultivators can only relieve their worries and anger through external objects.

Coincidentally, the other Tai Heng Army were equally unpopular in their respective homes, and a group of unpopular people naturally started to band together, drinking, chatting, and cursing the world.

They gathered at Tai Heng Bar, run by a veteran, laughing and crying amidst loud music and the sight of women's bare legs, questioning what was wrong with the world, what they had done wrong, and why they were the ones who got hurt.

What was said unintentionally was taken to heart by the listener.

After he recounted his experience, someone nearby thought to themselves, "How come my family situation is so similar to yours?"

My dao companion's pregnancy timing doesn't match up, and my son doesn't look like me at all!

Coincidentally, his son also wore a Longevity Jade around his neck!

The monk returned home, quietly removed the jade from his neck, and then cast an Appraisal Spell.

As expected, they don't support it!

His family situation was different from the previous one. His dao companion was the Holy Maiden of a small sect under the Taiheng Sect, so he simply took the child home and threw the Longevity Jade in front of her.

He kept his visual Law Technique active, observing his dao companion's every reaction. Sure enough, the moment the Longevity Jade appeared, his dao companion's expression started to look strange.

"You, why did you remove the Longevity Jade from the child? It's bad luck!" the dao companion said.

"Are you sure this is Longevity Jade, and not something that can contaminate bloodline Appraisal Spell?" the cultivator said coldly.

The dao companion was stunned, her face immediately turning bitter. "You, you knew everything?"

How much longer are you planning to keep this from me?

"Me, me"

Who is the child's father?

"I can't tell!"

"Um?"

"He wields considerable power; you can't afford to offend him."

"Huh?" The cultivator was taken aback. "What do you care if I can afford to offend you or not? Just tell me!"

"He is Quan Bo," the dao companion uttered a name.

The cultivator fell silent; he truly couldn't afford to offend this person.

Quan Bo not only comes from the Aristocratic Clan sixth-rank officials, but he is also a blogger with hundreds of millions of followers. His video content consists of flirting with all kinds of girls.

Quan Bo has an odd appearance and a sleazy demeanor, so generally no one pays any attention to him.

But as soon as he reveals his family Lineage, the girl's attitude changes completely, like when she sees a Rolls-Royce.

These contrasting videos are interesting in themselves, but what's more, most of the girls that Quan Bo is flirting with are cultivators, which directly tears off the veil of cultivators being high and mighty, telling ordinary people that apart from having higher cultivation levels, these fairies and immortals are no different from anyone else.

They share the same prejudice against the poor and favor the rich, the same obsequiousness towards superiors and bullying of inferiors.

This cultivator had also seen Quan Bo's videos before, and initially thought that the female cultivators were all hired actors. It wasn't until it happened to him that he realized that these female cultivators were not only not actors, but the content was also much more than what he saw in the videos.

Most of them have been placed on the paid channels of Quan Bo!

What honest person could tolerate such an insult?

Tai Heng Army's experience taught him to keep his emotions in check; even though he was seething with anger, he still forgave his wife.

After leaving the bar, he went straight to the Veterans' Bar and found another brother who was also drinking alone.

Yes, he couldn't afford to offend Quan Bo, and his other brother couldn't afford to offend another disciple from a sixth-rank Aristocratic Clan.

But it's just that we can't afford to mess with them, not that we can't beat them.

In fact, having been on the battlefield, they not only improved their cultivation, but also became more proficient in Technique Method than those Aristocratic Clan scions who enjoyed life every day.

Even if they could win, it wouldn't matter; the causal relationship between them is too strong, and it would be easy to find out.

So the monk came up with a solution.

I have a grudge against Quan Bo, but I have absolutely no connection with that cultivator from a sixth-rank Aristocratic Clan.

You have a grudge against a sixth-rank Aristocratic Clan cultivator, but you have absolutely no connection with Quan Bo.

Then you go kill Quan Bo, and I'll kill this cultivator from a sixth-rank Aristocratic Clan. Isn't that enough?

The other guy was a little hesitant, but he was persuaded in just a few words.

The two then discussed how to carry out the operation.

Divine Abilities and Sorcery are definitely not allowed. Everyone's Law Power has different characteristics, and there are special Divine Ability that can track this kind of Law Power. Once you start using it, it will be easy to be found out.

Fortunately, this isn't like decades ago. These days, a deadly weapon has emerged: firearms!

Unfortunately, the Teleportation Formation array is unusable now, so they either have to buy guns from a gun shop or order them online and have them delivered by courier.

Fortunately, neither of them lacked patience.

Heavenly Queen, the two electromagnetic pistols arrived.

Eight Heavenly Queen, two scions of sixth-rank Aristocratic Clan were assassinated!

One of them is Quan Bo, who has hundreds of millions of followers!

The entire Taiheng region was instantly shaken!

Although the Nine-Rank System was only recently established, all the Aristocratic Clan recognized its benefits.

Even if they are Ninth-Rank Noble Families, aren't there still unranked aristocratic Aristocratic Clan below them who can be exploited?

Naturally, all the Aristocratic Clan uphold this system. Now that two scions of these Aristocratic Clan have been killed, what does this signify?

This means someone is dissatisfied!

We must investigate! We must investigate thoroughly!

The two cultivators who had committed the murder not only didn't flee, but also went to the scene to see how Taiheng would investigate the case.

Then they saw two cultivators in the Prison Department uniforms escorting a cultivator in a Daoist robe with Bagua patterns as they walked over.

When the monk arrived at the scene, he didn't explore, examine, or search around with a magnifying glass. Instead, he took out a compass and began divination.

The two veterans' expressions changed drastically. Divination techniques? They had this trick up their sleeves?

The two immediately left the crowd without lingering for a moment.

Run! We have to run! Ninth-Rank Noble Families scion dares to kill a sixth-rank Aristocratic Clan scion! This is an act of treason, a capital offense!

If they were in the wrong, they might have surrendered without resistance, but even though they were clearly innocent, they were still the ones who were wronged.

Then I can't just surrender!

But after making that decision, a sense of bewilderment followed.

Where to run?

The two exchanged a glance, and without giving it much thought, they found their target.

Great Xia!

This country, which Lord Hengming explicitly forbade cultivators above the sixth level of Qi Refining to enter, is their natural sanctuary!

As for what to do if one's cultivation level breaks through in the Great Xia Dynasty.

Then let's try to go to another country; at least we'll have a time difference.

The two men escaped, but before they could kill their child and wife, the Prison Department found their home and faced another problem.

As a family member of a prisoner, Taiheng has no concept of human rights or morality, so he will inevitably be held accountable.

The baby was sent to an orphanage, the woman to a brothel; this was their destined fate.

But you wouldn't believe it until you asked—the two babies were actually the children of those two sixth-rank Aristocratic Clan!

This presents a dilemma.

In principle, adultery is also a capital offense. Moreover, aristocratic Lineage are those whose Aristocratic Clan is based on bloodlines, which are of paramount importance. These two people dared to pollute the bloodline of the Aristocratic Clan, and their crimes are unforgivable. They should also be sentenced to death.

But as luck would have it, neither that sixth-rank Aristocratic Clan scion nor Quan Bo had dao companion or children!

Their parents, who had thought their son was dead and their bloodline was cut off, were suddenly surprised to find that they still had a grandson alive. They no longer cared about pollution and immediately sent a message to the Prison Department, asking to save the child and mother.

The main reason is that children in the Cultivation World have early memories; even a 100-day-old baby knows who its mother is. If the child is still an infant, then the mother must be abandoned and the child left behind.

Since the victim's family isn't pursuing the matter, the Prison Department is even less likely to do so.

As a result, the two female cultivators not only escaped any punishment, but their status also rose, from Ninth-Rank Noble Families to a sixth-grade Aristocratic Clan!

The Prison Department and the parents of the two victims had no idea that their actions were setting a very bad precedent.

This matter has generated a great deal of discussion in real life, and it has also caused a huge uproar online.

Someone has already explained the whole story clearly.

What male netizens should be aware of is that there are indeed such things as "Longevity Jade" in this world, which can deceive bloodline test results. Shouldn't they quickly check their own children's necks to see if they have it?

Furthermore, the shopkeeper selling Longevity Jade stated that after this battle, Longevity Jade is now widely known and no longer effective, so they will improve the Longevity Jade.

It might be changed into a Cultivation Method that allows female cultivators to practice during pregnancy, with the assessment results hidden even while the child is still in the womb.

The shop owner argued that every life deserves respect, and even an unborn baby is still a baby, so why should the baby have to pay for the mistakes made by the parents?

This Fa Zheng is absolutely correct. If you dare to refute it, you are indifferent to life, a cold-blooded animal, a treacherous villain, or an undercover agent of the Myriad Saints Alliance infiltrating the Taiheng Sect.

The group of people were completely speechless.

Meanwhile, the female cultivator noticed the plight of the two female cultivators.

Is it possible to achieve great success simply by being pregnant with a child from a prestigious Aristocratic Clan?

To be fair, the experiences of these two female cultivators were very special, rare and difficult to replicate.

But the fairies don't care; if she can do it, why can't I?

Then try to replicate it.

The cultivators were all busy with their cultivation, so bars, dance halls, and KTVs always had dismal business.

But after hearing that the two seniors had met two young masters from the Aristocratic Clan in a bar, the bar and dance hall business suddenly became frenzied.

It wouldn't have mattered if they hadn't tried it; once they did, the cultivators discovered that there were actually such fun places in the world!

Isn't singing more comfortable than cultivating immortality?
