The fall of the Yang Family
On the Warm-Cool Mountain, Ning Xiufu looked at the intelligence reports brought up by his subordinates.
His eyebrows were slightly raised.
"How is this possible?"
Ning Xiu Rang sat to the side; he had shed much of the naiveté of his youth.
His cheeks had become more defined, his brow bones slightly raised, and there were faint dark circles under his eyes. He had gained a lot of composure. However, his eyes, while still retaining some of the gentle nature he was born with, were much colder than before, and he no longer easily showed his emotions when looking at people.
Seeing that Ning Xiufu's expression was off, he asked, "What's wrong?"
Ning Xiu Rang and glanced at it, then exclaimed in astonishment, "So many members of the Yang Family have died? And they were all Direct Lineage? Who killed them? Who had the audacity to do that?"
Ning Xiufu shook his head and said, "It's not that I'm targeting anyone."
Ning Xiu Rang even more puzzled. "If it wasn't targeted, why did so many of my Direct Lineage suddenly die? I've never heard of these names before."
Ning Xiufu then picked up a piece of intelligence from the table and read it aloud in a calm voice, "Yang Xifan died at the hands of a Devil Cultivator. That Devil Cultivator killed a Direct Lineage disciple of the Six Truths Abbey and was chased all the way from the west to Great Night Lake by the people of the Six Truths Abbey. Yang Xifan happened to have broken through his cultivation realm that day and came to visit his parents. After seeing his parents, he found the night view of the Lake quite beautiful, so he stayed a little longer. Unexpectedly, he ran into that Devil Cultivator and was casually killed."
The Six Truths Abbey is Immortal Sect on the western shore of Great Night Lake, almost an Ancient Era Dao Lineage bordering the west. It has a manifest Purple Mansion Lord presiding over it, and is known for its inclusive education, even allowing the exchange of laws for laws. Ning Xiu Rang pursed his lips and couldn't help but say, "Devil Cultivator who dared to brutally kill a direct disciple of the Six Truths Abbey Direct Lineage was quite unlucky to be caught by Yang Xifan."
Ning Xiufu shook his head and said, "That's not all."
He picked out another letter from among the few on the shore, unfolded it, and read aloud, "Yang Xichou married half a year ago, betrothed to the Han Family on the Great Night Lake. Five days before the wedding, his cultivation suddenly collapsed, his realm plummeted, and he became a cripple. The Han Family's daughter publicly broke off the engagement and humiliated him in every way. Enraged, Yang Xichou made a pact with her to defeat her honorably in six months. However, six months later, the Han Family woman somehow broke through to the Aperture Opening of the Awakening Realm and killed him on the spot."
Upon Ning Xiu Rang already sensed that something was amiss.
What kind of family was the Yang Family?
Among the immortals of the Inner Vision, Yang Houjia is one of the most prominent figures on Great Night Lake.
On what grounds did the Han Family break off the engagement?
Is it because Yang Xichou's realm has fallen?
That's impossible. Even if he were just a mentally challenged person, let alone someone whose cultivation was broken, if he could climb up the social ladder by marrying into the Yang Family, the Han Family would have no worries for the rest of their lives.
How dare the Han Family break off the engagement?
Isn't that a sign of dementia?
Ning Xiufu then mentioned several more names of Direct Lineage the Yang Family. These were names he had never heard of before; they must have been quietly cultivating and hidden away by the Yang Family.
Now that he has been suddenly killed, many people from various families Lake are keeping an eye on the Yang Family, and naturally, their stories have all been recorded.
Their deaths were incredibly varied and bizarre.
Some people even fell into the water and drowned, which is absolutely absurd.
Ning Xiufu took out the last letter and said, "Yang Xi Yuan. A rogue cultivator with only a nascent stage of Outer Scenery cultivation challenged a Rogue Cultivator who had reached the Lesser or Greater Completion stage of Outer Scenery, speaking with absolute certainty about his intention to launch a rebellious attack. He was killed on the spot."
Ning Xiu Rang exhaled a breath of stale air and asked in shock, "Just who has the Yang Family offended?"
After he finished speaking, he suddenly seemed to understand something, looked up at Ning Xiufu, and Ning Xiufu was also looking at him. Everything was understood without words.
All the gentleness and kindness in Ning Xiu Rang's eyes vanished, replaced by a chilling hatred. "Good, good, good to die, the more the better."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but burst into tears again.
Ning Xiufu looked at him quietly without saying a word.
Ning Xiangyi died after failing to break through his cultivation in seclusion; Ning Xinping was plotted against a hundred years ago, forming the "Unchaste Offering," and died in the Southern Border for the sake of the Wisdom King; Ning Xiuqing's chivalrous spirit was never displayed, and he was cursed to death simply because of a so-called warning from the Yang Family; Xiu Cong left his hometown and lived cautiously and humbly in the Pivot Court, always in fear; Ning Xiufu severed ties with Yang Bozhuo and died in confinement on Warm-Cool Mountain, never to experience romance again; Ning Xiu Rang unable to support his Ning Household and was always on the move, never having a moment's rest, only seeking some peace of mind...
The once-powerful Ning Family has been reduced to the lackeys of the Yang Family. The Ning Family's hatred needs an outlet.
The feud with the Ning Family needs to be settled.
The Pivot Court represents an unseen grudge, while the Yang Family is right before our eyes...
Ning Xiufu walked over, gently patted his younger brother's shoulder, and whispered, "Let's see how he falls."
--
Nine years later.
On Mount Huayu, Yang Houjia was cultivating in his quiet room when he suddenly sensed an unusual aura. He looked down at a jade pendant at his waist, which was emitting a faint light.
The jade tablet connects to Yang Xicheng's secluded cave abode. Now that the jade tablet is lit up, Yang Xicheng will surely emerge from seclusion.
He didn't have time to think about anything else, so he immediately left the pass, built a wind tunnel, and rushed towards the secluded cave abode in Yang Xicheng.
Upon arriving at the destination, the young man stood quietly, his face expressionless. When he saw Yang Houjia Lai, he bowed respectfully and said earnestly, "Ancestor, Xicheng has fulfilled his mission and lived up to the expectations of his brothers."
Yang Houjia's eyes showed emotion, and he grabbed Yang Xicheng's wrist tightly. "Good, good, good."
He said "good" three times in a row. Yang Xicheng has now broken through, and with the Divine Ability Treasure in his Ning Household, it is not impossible for him to reach the Purple Mansion in the future. The Yang Family finally has hope.
However, what truly reassured him was that Yang Xicheng had broken through, which proved that what he had done was not wrong, and that the deaths of those who died were not in vain.
"Alright, from now on, I will do my best to help you cultivate and achieve the Purple Mansion. You don't need to worry about anything..."
As Yang Houjia was speaking, he suddenly realized that Yang Xicheng had not responded for a long time.
As if sensing something, he looked up and saw a man in a purple robe standing behind Yang Xicheng.
Yang Houjia glanced at the man, and suddenly two eyes popped out, transforming into two purple snails that vanished. From the empty eye sockets, faint purple blood began to gush out.
"Yang Houjia Jia cannot die now, otherwise the Lake will lose its balance of power, which will be very troublesome."
Another voice rang out.
Changshu glanced at Changyin, shook his head, and said, "Why be afraid of Chi Sui?"
True Lord Changyin said coldly, "Fine, then go see him. Under the influence of [Azure Ram], I will not save you."
Why not give it a try?
True Lord Changyin had no time for further words. He grabbed Yang Xicheng, pierced through the Unseen, and headed Overseas.
Changshu stood with his hands behind his back, quietly watching Changyin leave, and said calmly, "I just need a sword wound to help me refine Changze."
Not long after.
Li Fuchan, who was in seclusion, suddenly opened his eyes and saw a hand reaching out from the Unseen and grasping his.
The next moment, Li Fuchan was lifted into the Unseen.
His eyes were sealed by Divine Ability, and he could only sense that there was another person standing beside him.
It should be Wei Xinyun.
"It's about to begin."
