Chapter 33

"Although this is called a hunt, it's actually a selection process to choose suitable candidates from among our many descendants to cultivate the first heir of the family. If we miss this opportunity, we won't have a chance to vie for the family's leadership in the future!"

The Yang family's hunting party slowly moved forward, and at the back, a young man in black had a gleam in his eyes, revealing a strong ambition.

"Right, we mustn't miss this opportunity! Our strength is the highest among the many descendants. If we work together, we can definitely make a stunning impression. At that time, whoever becomes the first heir, the other will have supreme power!"

The young man in blue beside the young man in black smiled, the corners of his mouth lifting.

"To be honest, we should thank Yang Jun, the waste! Think about it, someone who can spend over a million taels of silver at once and casually auction off a martial technique like the Three Waves of the Yangtze River, how could such a person's status be low? Yang Jun, the waste, actually followed and attacked him, he deserved to die!"

"Hehe, without such a fool, when would we have a chance to stand out? What I'm most worried about is Yang Yan. If he returns at this time to compete for the position of the first heir, it might cause us some trouble..."

"You're overthinking it. Yang Yan was indeed a capable person before, but now... without the family's support and no supply of medicinal pills, his cultivation and advancement are very slow. I heard he's only at the middle stage of the Fourth Level of the Qi Sea Realm! Far inferior to our two at the late stage of the Fourth Level!"

"Middle stage of the Fourth Level? But he is the son of the Clan Head. The Clan Head has only two sons, Yang Jun and him. With Yang Jun dead, I'm afraid the Clan Head will favor him..."

"I didn't expect you to be so timid despite your strength. What can the Clan Head do? When Yang Yan left the family, all the elders were present. If the Clan Head really dared to appoint a waste who left the family on his own, your father, the Grand Elder, and my father, the Second Elder, would definitely jointly impeach him. At that time, his position as Clan Head would be in jeopardy!"

"That's true..."

The two young men in black and blue analyzed the situation with ease, clearly showing their high status in the family.

"Hmm, why did the people in front stop? Let's go and see!"

Just as the two were imagining how they would make a stunning impression, the slowly moving group suddenly stopped. The two exchanged glances and simultaneously spurred their horses forward.

"What's going on? Why did they stop?"

Before they reached the front, they heard a stern voice, followed by the sound of hooves. A middle-aged man on horseback rode over.

Behind the middle-aged man were several elders, each with a solid aura, their true qi almost tangible, and any slight movement would generate an overwhelming force!

Sixth Level of the Qi Sea Realm, the Formation of True Qi!

The middle-aged man's strength was even greater. When his true qi circulated in his body, it would form a golden, impenetrable armor on his surface, resistant to blades and spears!

Seventh Level of the Qi Sea Realm, the Armor of True Qi!

These people were none other than the Clan Head of the Yang family, Yang Tiecheng, and the various elders!

"Reporting to the Clan Head, it seems there was a battle in the valley ahead... I feared danger, so I made everyone stop..."

As the middle-aged man finished his question, a young man in front saluted and answered.

"Battle? You all wait here, I'll go and check with the elders!" Hearing this, the middle-aged man, Yang Tiecheng, frowned and stopped the young men in black and blue from coming over. He waved his hand and led the elders forward.

After walking a couple of miles, they saw a valley in front of them, the exact location of this hunt, the Luoshui Canyon!

Riding forward for a while, they indeed saw a mess inside the valley, with trees covered in scorch marks and the ground pitted as if it had just experienced a battle.

"It seems the battle just ended, not long ago!"

Everyone dismounted and walked forward, examining the scene for a while and forming a judgment.

Judging by the scorch marks on the trees and the pits on the ground, the destruction must have occurred not long ago, at most a dozen minutes!

In other words, a dozen minutes ago, there might have been a battle here!

"Hmm? Clan Head, look at these pits..."

Suddenly, an elder pointed to the marks left by the battle on the ground, his previously calm face turning pale.

Following his finger, there was a pit not far away. These pits were all the same size, with their depth and position as if precisely calculated, completely identical!

Moreover, each pit was formed by a powerful attack, smooth as a mirror, and even more shockingly, the surrounding area was completely undamaged, not even a blade of grass near the pits was harmed!

Logically, creating so many pits on the ground would definitely cause energy to spread, damaging everything around. But now, these pits seemed to have been measured, even the distance between each pit was equal, indicating only one thing...

"The person who fought has incredible control over their power!"

Yang Tiecheng's face turned serious as he slowly spoke his conclusion.

If it was a battle, no one would deliberately measure the ground to create pits! The only explanation for this situation is that one person was chasing the other, and these pits were created by the pursuer using a special martial technique!

The pits created by the martial technique were so neat, showing that the person's control over their power was simply terrifying!

At a certain level of cultivation, one knows that in a battle, it's not always better to have more power. Too much power would waste energy. Every attack must have a limit, and only by controlling the power within that limit while still being able to injure the enemy can one be considered a supreme expert!

Clearly, the person who created these deep pits not only achieved this but did so perfectly!

"To control power so precisely, the person's strength is likely at least the Qi Master level, a generation's grandmaster!" an elder also said with lingering fear.

Eighth Level of the Qi Sea Realm, Qi Master, a generation's grandmaster, such strength is hard to find an equal in Luoshui City, and even in the entire Divine Wind Empire, they would rank high!

"Quick, look at this hole!" Suddenly, another elder pointed forward.

Following his finger, everyone looked and simultaneously turned pale, as if they were made of gold paper.

In front of them was a huge rock, over ten meters in diameter, with a hole the size of a finger on it, occasionally revealing a glint of light. At first glance, everyone understood that the hole had penetrated the entire rock!

A hole the size of a finger... it must have been created by a finger!

To pierce through a rock over ten meters in diameter, and that rock being extremely hard granite, how strong must the finger strength be?

How could there be such a powerful existence in Luoshui City?
