Chapter 63

In the Hongwu Hall of the Yang family, almost all the important figures of the family were seated here at this moment.

Everyone had just returned from outside Baiyang Town, and the thrilling battle that had taken place was finally over. Now, all the Yang family members felt a great sense of relief.

Although the Yang family had gone through a harrowing experience, they had ultimately emerged unscathed. Everyone knew who was responsible for this, so as they sat in the Hongwu Hall, they would often glance at the young man sitting quietly with their peripheral vision.

The major storm in Baiyang Town had been vaguely heard by other forces. Upon learning the outcome, everyone remembered only one person: Long Chen.

The White family had made two attempts to kill, both because of Long Chen, and it was only through his efforts that they were able to turn the tide and ultimately win. It could almost be said that if it weren't for Long Chen, the Yang family would likely be ghosts in the netherworld by now.

The Yang family members all knew this, so the way they looked at Long Chen had changed dramatically from over a month ago.

This look of reverence mixed with a bit of fear made Long Chen feel a myriad of emotions.

At this moment, the patriarch of the Yang family, who had been in deep thought, finally came to his senses. He scanned everyone with his eyes, and finally fixed his gaze on Long Chen, saying, "Our Yang family has faced two major disasters, but we have ultimately survived unscathed. All of this is due to one person."

There was a hint of choking in the patriarch's voice, and everyone knew the gratitude and excitement in his heart.

"It was he who defeated the White family's young generation in the demon hunting competition and saved you all. Then, he kidnapped the White family's young generation and saved us who had taken poison. Today, it was also he who defeated Bai Sheng and Bai Li, and even a Human Dan Realm expert, and once again saved you all..."

At the emotional part, everyone's eyes were brimming with tears, especially Yang Xueqing. After going through such a major event, her heart had become extremely fragile. Looking at the calm young man across from her, her feelings were far more profound than anyone else's.

After all, he was her own son, and she had once looked down on him.

But it was undeniable that it was her underestimation that gave Long Chen the motivation to become stronger.

The patriarch of the Yang family nodded at Long Chen, saying, "Chen, your performance has left me, this old man, at a loss for words on how to thank you. I know we treated you and your father poorly in the past, but you didn't hold it against us and fought for us. Honestly, I've never been so moved in my life. But saying just 'thank you' is not enough to express my feelings now. I can only say that from now on, the Yang family will be your true home, and we will try to make up for our past shortcomings in the days to come."

The patriarch's words were sincere, and the Yang family members all agreed.

Suddenly being treated this way, Long Chen was taken aback and quickly smiled, "Everyone, don't look at me like that. Although I am handsome, I can't bear so much reverence..."

Long Chen's playful words made the Yang family women giggle, and Yang Qingxuan and others also shook their heads, a smile playing on their lips.

"Don't be so smug. If I hadn't killed that guy, you wouldn't be here today!" Ling Xi, who had just woken up in the Spirit Dawn Sword, pouted and sarcastically said, but her happy little face clearly showed that she was genuinely happy for Long Chen's success.

The patriarch of the Yang family also smiled and shook his head, saying, "Chen, you don't hold it against me, but by saying this, I seem to be being overly sentimental. Alright, let me be practical. Now, there is no more White family in Baiyang Town. From now on, this place will be the Yang family's domain. By eliminating the White family, we have gained a great deal, the most important of which are these three Evolutionary Spirit Fruits. Chen, the credit for these Evolutionary Spirit Fruits is entirely yours, so how to handle them is up to you!"

The patriarch's eyes were sincere, and Long Chen knew he was serious. However, he quickly waved his hands, "Grandfather, you are the head of the family, so you should decide..."

"Don't say that, it makes me feel embarrassed. If you still consider me your grandfather, take these Evolutionary Spirit Fruits."

Saying this, he was about to take out the Evolutionary Spirit Fruits from his Bag of Holding. Long Chen, helpless, could only say, "Alright, then I'll distribute them. There are three Evolutionary Spirit Fruits, and one is enough for me. Another one will go to you, Grandfather. You are the head of the family, and the Yang family needs a Divine Dan Realm expert to anchor it, so you cannot refuse this one."

Long Chen's decision was firm, and the patriarch understood his meaning, so he nodded.

Indeed, the Yang family now only had him at the Dragon Vein Ninth Level, and only he could enter the Divine Dan Realm in a short time to support the family.

"As for the last one..."

Long Chen's gaze shifted to Yang Qingxuan and Yang Xueqing. When he saw Yang Xueqing, his eyes lingered. He actually wanted to give this to Yang Xueqing directly, thinking that if she became stronger, the danger would be less.

However, he also thought that the stronger one became, the more they had to stand at the forefront of the storm. So he said, "Currently, the ones at the Dragon Vein Eighth Level are Uncle and Mother, so let's decide this: whoever reaches the Dragon Vein Ninth Level first will get this Evolutionary Spirit Fruit. What do you think?"

Long Chen's decision was met with no objections from the Yang family members.

Now, for them, the safety of their family was the most important. Who became stronger was not a concern. After these two major disasters, the Yang family was finally united, tightly bound together.

The patriarch's gaze shifted to the door, looking at the sky outside, which was gradually turning a deep red, with the sunset spreading across it, incredibly beautiful.

"When the sun rises tomorrow, our Yang family will also face a true rebirth..."

In the patriarch's vision, a new family would soon emerge in Baiyang Town. This family would not only have a Divine Dan Realm expert but also a super genius of the highest level.

With the patriarch as the pillar and Long Chen's immense potential, the Yang family members were all very reassured.

However, as everyone was immersed in the joy of finally being able to develop peacefully, Long Chen's brows gradually furrowed. After distributing the Evolutionary Spirit Fruits, he tapped the table and said calmly, "Everyone, in the Great Wasteland Mountains, the Blood Yuanzi who died was one of the eight protectors of the Crimson Blood Holy Sect in Yuanling City..."

Thinking of this, Yang Qingxuan's face also changed. He probed, "Blood Yuanzi wanted the Evolutionary Spirit Fruits and must have secretly come to Baiyang Town. If that's the case, they probably don't know it was us who did it, right?"

The patriarch's brows also furrowed again, and he shook his head, "The death of a protector-level figure will definitely be investigated. Blood Yuanzi was close to the White family, so it won't be hard for them to trace it back to Baiyang Town. Many people know what happened in Baiyang Town..."

Hearing this, the other Yang family members' faces turned pale again, and the originally relaxed atmosphere became tense once more.

Yang Qingxuan shook his head with a bitter smile, "This is truly a time of troubles for our Yang family. Father, do you know the specifics of the Crimson Blood Holy Sect?"

The patriarch's face darkened, "The Crimson Blood Holy Sect may not be well-known in the vast Yuanling City, but in our area, it is extremely notorious. It is said that the Crimson Blood Holy Sect has eight protectors and four elders, each at least at the Human Dan Realm level, and the four elders are all accomplished Human Dan Realm experts. According to rumors, the leader of the Crimson Blood Holy Sect has already reached the terrifying Earth Dan Realm!"

Hearing this, the Yang family members all drew in a sharp breath, and even Long Chen's face turned very grim.

"Facing the White family and Blood Yuanzi was already difficult for us. If we face the Crimson Blood Holy Sect, our small family would be wiped out a thousand times over. Can I protect the Yang family today, and in the future?"

"Even at the initial Human Dan Realm, I am not sure I can match them, let alone the accomplished Human Dan Realm, and the higher-level Earth Dan Realm is something I can't even imagine! Is the Yang family truly at a dead end?"

Looking up at Yang Lingqing and Yang Xueqing, the two people he had sworn to protect, Long Chen felt a glimmer of confidence. This immense responsibility made him stand firm.

"No, I can't just watch them die in front of me. I might as well die myself..."

The pressure on his heart became even heavier. Thinking of the Earth Dan Realm, Long Chen first felt a sense of powerlessness, followed by determination.

"No matter what, I will do my utmost. If they want to destroy the Yang family, they will have to step over my dead body!"

Long Chen had made up his mind. He was now the strongest in the Yang family, so he absolutely could not back down!

Thinking of the Crimson Blood Holy Sect, the Yang family was filled with gloom. Even Yang Qingxuan could only console himself with the excuse that the Crimson Blood Holy Sect might not discover that Blood Yuanzi was killed by the Yang family.

The patriarch of the Yang family was not so naive. He knew that the Crimson Blood Holy Sect was notorious, and if those ruthless people found out it was the Yang family who did it, the suffering the Yang family would face would be far more than just being wiped out.

"I need to enter the Divine Dan Realm as soon as possible. If the Crimson Blood Holy Sect discovers us, I will do my best to send Chen and the young generation away. With Chen's strength, I believe he can restore the Yang family and avenge us in a few years!"

Thinking this, the patriarch's expression was resolute.

At this moment, Long Chen, who had been silent, suddenly spoke. Everyone looked up, eager to hear what he had to say.

Long Chen also recalled the information he had obtained from Chen Xiongzhou and the others in the Burning Heaven Mountains.

"The Crimson Blood Holy Sect is far away in Yuanling City. It will take them some time to discover us and take action. The first expert they send will likely not be too strong. If Grandfather enters the Divine Dan Realm, you should be able to handle it."

"More importantly, the Lingwu Family in Yuanling City often recruits outsiders from outside. With my potential, I believe I can become an outsider disciple of the Lingwu Family. Once I become an outsider disciple, I will be a true member of the Lingwu Family, and they will provide us with greater protection. For me, only by going to such a large place can I have a broader space for improvement. Therefore, I have decided to set out for Yuanling City!"
