Inside the main hall.
The patriarch of the Void Behemoth Clan sat at the head of the table.
However, he looked extremely old and frail, with white beard hanging down around his eyebrows. He sat there hunched over with his head down, his eyes drooping listlessly.
Apart from the Grand Elder, the other elders stood on either side of the throne.
Upon seeing Xiao Shitou enter, after scrutinizing him for a moment, the man standing second in line said, "I've heard that the Holy Son has perfectly inherited the mantle of our ancestors; our Void Behemoth Clan has a worthy successor."
After the First Elder's introduction, I learned that this person was the Second Elder.
He was also the most skilled warrior among the elders.
The other elders had somber expressions, and the atmosphere was extremely heavy.
The Grand Elder said softly, "He's usually quite approachable, but the current situation is different. Please don't mind, Holy Son."
Xiao Shitou waved his hand to indicate that he didn't care.
At this moment, the clan chief, seated at the head of the table, spoke up, "In principle, a succession ceremony should be held for you, but due to the special circumstances, it will be held after this matter is resolved."
Xiao Shitou cupped his hands and said, "No need, Senior. The noble family's affairs are of utmost importance."
Upon hearing this, the other elders looked at Xiao Shitou with even greater kindness.
The Void Behemoth Clan extremely xenophobic, but very friendly to its own kind.
There were basically no internal conflicts; everyone was united against external threats.
The clan chief stretched out his trembling hand, and although they were still dozens of meters apart, his hand appeared on Xiao Shitou's head and gently touched it.
The clan chief said, "Good child."
Xiao Shitou Xiao Shitou was a little surprised. Normally, he could immediately sense any powerful person crossing space or any slight fluctuation in space around him.
But when the clan leader struck, Xiao Shitou didn't detect the slightest spatial fluctuation.
The clan chief, seemingly able to read people's minds, smiled and said, "Don't worry, you'll be able to do that in the future."
At this moment, the space in front of Xiao Shitou was torn open from the inside out, and the Kong Zhuxin emerged from it.
The clan leader asked, "Has the location been locked?"
Kong Zhuxin nodded, her expression calm, but her pupils trembled.
The surrounding space was shattered into pieces, like petals falling and withering.
"Then you should go there yourself. Even if we, the Void Behemoth Clan, die, our corpses cannot be left to languish outside. We must return to our roots." With that, the clan leader opened his eyes, his cloudy gaze seemingly piercing through space and reaching the entire Soaring Realm.
"Perhaps our Void Behemoth Clan has been silent in the myriad realms for too long, making them forget our style of doing things... Bring the murderer back, and don't let any of the forces behind the murderer escape."
The dying clan chief spoke with a palpable murderous intent.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Shitou thought, "The Soaring Realm?"
He immediately raised his hand and said, "I'll go too!"
"What are you doing going to join in this fun?" The First Elder was startled. "This isn't a game. A force capable of killing the royal family of my Void Behemoth Clan is no ordinary power!"
The clan chief looked at Xiao Shitou with a kind expression and asked, "Why do you want to go?"
Xiao Shitou rolled up his sleeves, his voice filled with righteous indignation and passion. "I'm now practically a member of the Void Behemoth Clan! That someone dared to kill one of my own kind fills me with rage, so I'm going to do my part!"
"Speak like a human." Kong Zhuxin glanced at him.
Xiao Shitou immediately said, "My senior brothers and sisters are also in the Soaring Realm, so I'll go find them."
"In that case, take him with you." The clan chief nodded.
The First Elder hurriedly said, "Clan Chief, this is inappropriate! The Holy Son has only just received the ancestor's mantle and needs to consolidate his power before he can better absorb the ancestor's insights. Moreover, the other party will inevitably be in great danger. What if..."
Kong Zhuxin to herself, "Are you saying I can't protect him?"
Grand Elder: "..."
The Second Elder chimed in, "I think it's feasible. Closed-door cultivation is nowhere near as effective as real combat, and it also allows one to observe the Supreme Elder in action up close, which is extremely beneficial."
The patriarch nodded finally, delivering the decisive blow. "Protect the Holy Son."
Kong Zhuxin narrowed her eyes slightly. "Don't worry, I won't let any member of my clan die in front of me, Non-Self die."
On the other side, the Yin-Yang Heavenly Pool.
On the other side of Yang Dao White Pool, Ye Qiubai, Hong Ying, and Ning Chenxin had also been comprehending for ten days.
Looking at their condition, the Chu Clan's eldest elder couldn't help but sigh, "Third Young Master, your friends' talent is truly astonishing. This speed is even faster than when you first comprehended the Dao of Yin, isn't it?"
Chu Yan nodded, his gaze fixed on Hong Ying, and smiled, "It took me more than forty days to complete my comprehension back then, but they already show faint signs of integrating it into their own Great Dao."
No wonder he's that person's apprentice.
However, it's normal for him to be faster than Chu Yan.
After all, Chu Yan had never been to the Changsheng Realm.
The Dao of Yin and Yang Dao of Yin and Yang already abundant within the Changsheng Realm, and the Nine Nether Yellow Springs Grand Array is even more permeated with them.
When Lu Changsheng created the Changsheng Realm, he used the Great Dao of Yin and Yang as the main principle, with the Yang Dao constructing the sun and the Dao of Yin constructing the moon.
Having been immersed in the Great Dao of Yin and Yang and Yang for a long time, even without conscious effort, one's body retains memory, resulting in a higher affinity compared to others.
Chu Yan grinned. "As expected of the woman I've chosen."
Upon hearing this, the First Elder said helplessly, "Third Young Master, as the heir to the family head, your marriage has already been arranged."
"Does the Grand Elder think I would accept a marriage alliance?" Chu Yan scoffed.
The elder waved his hand, "I won't argue with you. Let your father worry about this."
At this moment.
Ye Qiubai's side made the first move!
All eyes turned to them.
Deputy Hall Master Lin glanced at Yang Shao, who was still deep in comprehension, and sighed inwardly.
Some of those who failed to comprehend the opportunity looked at Ye Qiubai with greed in their eyes, their minds filled with thoughts of seizing the fortuitous opportunity to comprehend it.
But it was only a fleeting moment.
After all, he was protected not only by the Chu Clan, but also by a figure from Mount Qingcheng.
Although they had just contradicted Deputy Hall Master Lin, they were still members of the Supervisory Sacred Hall.
A vortex of ocean currents appeared around Ye Qiubai, and many Dao of Yang were Ye Qiubai into his body.
The Intent of Unending Life merges with the Dao of Yang.
The Primordial Sword Scripture is fundamentally guided by the Intent of Unending Life.
The Intent of Unending Life also has something in common with the Dao of Yang.
It's quite normal that Ye Qiubai was the first to achieve enlightenment and succeed.
But.
Just as everyone's attention was focused on Ye Qiubai.
In the distance, a woman shrouded in a purple robe, which could not conceal her curvaceous figure, crushed a talisman and vanished without a trace.
The next moment.
The space to Ye Qiubai's left suddenly distorted.
The Chu Clan's Grand Elder and Qu Lü were the first to change their expressions, both pointing in that direction!
But it was too sudden.
A dagger had already torn through space, piercing straight towards Ye Qiubai's temple!
This dagger possesses spatial attributes, and it's of a high level!
Someone has meticulously planned an assassination attempt against Ye Qiubai and his group!
