"Is that so? The first step is complete..." Liu Ziru's voice came from the jade pendant.
Ye Qiubai smiled wryly, "The first step is complete, but the rest will be even more difficult."
"That's true. After all, Xu Yeming is posing as the most promising young member of the Xu Clan, so he naturally receives a lot of attention. He could easily be exposed if he's not careful." Liu Ziru said solemnly, "I will expedite the dispatch of people to assist Xu Yeming in accomplishing what he wants to do."
"And you, kid, since you're all set over there, come join us. Staying there is riskier."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qiubai nodded in agreement.
After speaking with Dean Cangxuan, he put on the black robe given to him by Lu Changsheng and left Cangxuan Academy overnight.
The locations of High Antiquity Aristocratic Clan were either extremely secluded or guarded by countless people like an impregnable fortress.
The Xuanyuan Clan is protected by many formations and powerful guards, while the Xu Clan Xu Clan is located in a series of desolate mountains, surrounded by mountains on all sides.
As Xu Yeming followed Xu Tianguang and Elder with the cane through the mountains, they could hear a series of enormous beast roars, which alone made Xu Yeming feel a sense of oppression.
After crossing the mountains, there were layers of formations.
Only those with the Xu Clan blood can freely pass through this formation.
It can be said that those who are not from the Xu Clan not only have to pass through these mountains, which are home to countless powerful Devil Beast, but also have to pass through the formations. It is virtually impossible for outsiders to enter.
After passing through the formation, there was a mansion that looked quite old.
The Xu Clan's mansion was not as large as the Xuanyuan Clan's, which resembled a city. It was much smaller in scale, but it was still well-prepared.
Soon, Xu Yeming's first test arrived.
Xu Tianguang disappeared immediately after entering the Xu Clan.
As the Supreme Elder, he only appears when there is a major situation in the Xu Clan; otherwise, he is rarely seen.
The elder with the cane then looked at Xu Yeming, " Xu Luo, you need to catch up on your cultivation progress. Look at Xuanyuan Che! If you continue like this, the gap will widen, and that would be a waste of the resources the Xu Clan has been allocating to you..."
At this point, Elder Cane shook his head slightly. "If Xu Yuan were still alive, he probably could have overshadowed Xuanyuan Che and the younger generation of the other families. What a pity..."
Xu Yeming didn't have any other thoughts about such comparisons, but after searching Xu Luo's soul, he discovered...
Xu Luo has always used arrogance to mask her anger and inferiority complex.
The reason for this is that he has been constantly compared to the deceased Xu Yuan.
What would Xu Yuan do in this situation?
After thinking for Xu Yeming snorted coldly and said, " Xu Yuan can do, I, Xu Luo, can also do! I will prove that I am no worse than Xu Yuan, and I will not waste the Lineage's investment in me."
As expected.
Elder Cane, upon hearing Xu Yeming's words, did not suspect anything. Instead, he nodded and said, "It's good that you have this idea. Then hurry up and cultivate, and cultivate the Lunar Eclipse Nether Record to the fourth level! I will come to check in a few days. If you are surpassed by other direct descendants, you should understand the consequences, right?"
Lunar Eclipse Nether Record.
This is Cultivation Method that only direct descendants of the Xu Clan can practice.
It is also a rare Cultivation Method at the peak of the Realm God Realm!
Only High Antiquity, top-tier Aristocratic Clan like the Xu Clan could possess such a level of Cultivation Method.
Xu Yeming nodded, and the first four levels of the Lunar Eclipse Nether Record were placed in Xu Luo's spatial ring.
He now needs to quickly cultivate the Lunar Eclipse Nether Record to the third level, otherwise he will easily be discovered.
"I see."
Xu Yeming nodded and, following the memories he had gained from the Soul Search, headed towards Xu Luo's room.
Seeing this, Elder Cane shook his head slightly and immediately headed towards the patriarch's mansion to report on what was to come.
One can imagine how furious the head of the family would be.
Even with the intervention of the Supreme Elder, the opponent still managed to escape.
Thinking about this...
The elder with the cane clenched his fists, his eyes darkening, and said, "What exactly happened? What methods did they use to escape from Xu Tianguang and Xuanyuan Wuji...?"
But he hadn't expected that.
The three people the Xu Clan hates most now, besides Xu Canghai Bai Qingxin, Xu Yeming, who has disguised himself as Xu Luo and infiltrated the Xu Clan.
As Xu Yeming followed the route he remembered to Xu Luo's residence, a man and a woman walked towards him.
"Hey, isn't this Xu Luo? Didn't you go out on errands with the elders? How did it go?"
The man's name is Xu Qing, and the woman's name is Xu Han.
She is also a top-tier genius in the Xu Clan, but she is slightly inferior to Xu Luo.
He and Xu Luo were extremely at odds on ordinary days.
What's even more dramatic is that... Xu Han and Xu Luo were childhood playmates, almost like childhood sweethearts.
However, as the Xu Clan constantly compared Xu Luo and Xu Yuan, and both grew up, Xu Han began to distance herself from Xu Luo and wanted to get closer to Xu Yuan.
Xu Yuan ignored it after his death.
Xu Han could never return to Xu Luo's side, having already made the decision to leave him.
So he turned around and befriended Xu Qing, whose talent ranked behind Xu Luo's.
This kind of thing is actually quite common.
A wise bird chooses its tree to perch on, and it's not entirely wrong to associate with people who are more talented for one's own benefit.
There is no absolute right or wrong in this world.
However, this kind of thing would be disgusting and nauseating no matter who it happened to.
Unlike others, Xu Luo did not lose control of his emotions when facing Xu Qing and Xu Han. Instead, he suppressed his anger and appeared very calm.
The angrier you get with someone like that, the happier they become.
Xu Luo clearly understood this principle as well.
So Xu Yeming simply nodded and tried to walk around them.
Seeing this, Xu Qing's face darkened, while Xu Han bit her red lips lightly, looking somewhat unwilling.
" Xu Luo, in the few days you were gone, my Lunar Eclipse Nether Record has already broken through to the third level! The same level as you!" Xu Qing suddenly shouted, then sneered, "Moreover, I can sense that it won't be long before I break through to the fourth level."
Do you think that if I break through before you, and then surpass you, the Lineage will pour resources into me and abandon you?
Xu Han chuckled softly, " Xu Luo, you need to step up your game too. You're just a replacement for Xu Yuan; once you're surpassed by someone else, being abandoned is inevitable."
In response to this...
Xu Yeming didn't feel angry; he only felt ridiculous.
Anyway, he's not Xu Luo.
He waved to the two people behind him and then walked towards Xu Luo's room.
He didn't have time to argue here; he needed to start cultivating the Lunar Eclipse Nether Record from the first level... Time was running out...
=============
PS: I've made it this far... and I've compiled a summary of the upcoming plot regarding Xu Yeming's undercover work within the Xu Clan.
These two chapters are the minimum for today's update. I'll continue with the remaining 17 chapters after I wake up.
