Chapter 34: What do you think?

Looking at the cascade flame, Yuan Lianyao lifted her spirits. She slowly stood up and moved closer to her fallen lotus flowers.

The flowers shook gently among the gravel on the ground.

Zhao Dongsheng, Zhao Xi, and others from the Zhao Clan all looked at Zhao Zhenghao.

Yet, Zhao Zhenghao just shook his head to signal them to stay put for now.

For now, An Ziqing hadn’t decided to start her round of attack. She just casually chatted with Yu Yuan.

As for her true intentions of how much destruction she wants to bring to the city, Zhao Zhenghao was still unclear.

That unexplainable soaring flame was also outside of his understanding.

Therefore, the most sensible approach was for him to observe first.

Yu Can also did the same. He ordered everyone from the Yu Clan to stay alert.

The reason for him to do so was that he noticed An Ziqing, even after revealing her identity, she showed a surprising amount of interest in his grandson and even wanted to invite Yu Yuan to the Divine Blood Sect.

The old man remembered that a while ago Yu Yuan told him that the master lived far away from the northern Land of Extinction.

Was he referring to the Divine Blood Sect?

Even though the Divine Blood Sect had been denounced as an evil sect, the sect was still considered to be one of the major sects and about the same as the Cold Shadows Sect.

It would not necessarily be bad if his grandson was able to join the Divine Blood Sect and became one of the core disciples of the sect.

Therefore, Yu Can wanted to wait and see what Yu Yuan would choose.

“This is quite unexpected.”

An Ziqing also noticed a sudden change in the distance. She frowned and said, “So it looks like Yuan Qiufang’s abnormality is also one of your works?”

“Yuan Qiufang!”

Zhao Zhenghao was shocked, his eyes staring at Yuan Lianyao, “Lady Mayoress, your father… is still alive?”

“How is it possible?” Huang Fan, still standing at the entrance of a cave, was also astounded by Yuan Qiufang’s appearance and said, “Yuan Qiufang is supposed to be dead!”

Yu Can reacted the same way. “He is still alive!”

Zhao Zhenghao, Huang Fan, and Yu Can were all of the older generations along with Yuan Qiufang. They were the four pillars of the city.

Of their generation, Yuan Qiufang was their well-deserved leader, far more powerful than the other three.

Before Yuan Qiufang, the Yuan Clan was not the head of the city; instead, the Zhao Clan was the strongest.

Because of his appearance, the situation in Dark Moon City was changed. He led the Yuan Clan to surpass the other three and took control of the Dark Moon City.

It was also for his overwhelming success that Yuan Lianyao, his daughter, was able to successfully take over the position as Mayoress.

She soon stepped into the Profound Realm, and once again overpowered everyone else in the city.

Those of the older generation knew clearly that this person had a short temper. When he got triggered, he could do anything.

The impression that this person had left on anyone had always been fierce!

Knowing that he was still alive, the Yin God of the Divine Blood Sect and other elders had many thoughts going through their heads.

“He’s coming.” Yu Yuan raised his head, stared at the distant sky, and said softly.

“Sister!”

The Yin God of Divine Blood Sect yelled from the clouds in a sharp tone.

The howling was full of panic!

The clusters of blood-colored clouds condensed once again into a giant.

This time it was human-shaped, the Yin God acting as its soul.

A river of flames, containing countless flame runes, swept across the sky.

Everywhere that it went through, the sky cracked into burning pieces, like cotton being lit on fire.

The Sacrifice Formation no longer could cover up the whole sky.

The sun came out!

The bright cheerful sun of the afternoon appeared in the open sky.

Seeing that the situation was turning bad, the Yin God pitifully wrapped the patches of crimson blood around itself.

The crimson blood, layer by layer tightly covered the Yin God.

Without a special formation, a newly formed Yin God would easily be burnt up under the bright sun, making the process extremely painful.

“Looks like your brother’s Yin God can’t form properly at this point.” Yu Yuan said with a calm expression, “The pain that Yuan Qiufang endured will now be experienced by him. As long as one’s attempt to reach Yin God fails, not only will he fall back to the Nuance Realm, but also be poisoned by the excess of power.”

“Tsk tsk.”

Yu Yuan shook his head and continued, “Even after returning to the Divine Blood Sect, it will be hard for him to recover from the fear that this first experience has caused him.”

“Likely that if he attempts to reach the Yin God Realm again in the future, he will be traumatized by such pain and never be able to pass this level, making him stay in the Nuance realm forever.”

The people around him listened to this detailed explanation of the advancing process like listening to an elderly cultivator who had experienced all these already.

But then they realized it was just Yu Yuan, no more than a cultivator who barely reached the Meridian Establishment Realm.

“I’m sorry sister.”

The Yin God said with a sad tone and rushed towards the cave entrance of the Jinluo Mountain.

His real body must be in there.

The Sacrifice Formation was fully torn up and the magical effect naturally went away. The few remaining strands of blood were still clinging on to the thin air but still could not withstand the burning from the scorching sun.

The soul of the Yin God had to return to the body and recover before more permanent damage from the sun.

If anything happened again during this process, then he would be doomed for life.

Therefore, despite his impatient desire to revenge on Yuan Qiufang, he forced himself to calm down and recover first.

Woosh!

The Yin God disappeared into the other side of the Jinluo Mountain, sneaking into a hole on the mountainside that led to his body.

“Useless piece of shit!” An Ziqing cursed quietly.

Swoosh!

Yuan Qiufang’s river of flames drifted above everyone’s heads.

No one could see Yuan Qiufang’s actual figure, but from those signature flames, it was certain that he must be Yuan Qiufang.

“Your father must have been a mighty man.” Yu Yuan said.

“How come my father became so powerful?”

Yuan Lianyao was a little lost. Both her father and herself were both at the Profound realm, but even so, she felt a sense of uncounterable pressure emitting from the flames.

Such power must not have come naturally from her after who had dropped several realms.

“Young master, what have you done to him?” An Ziqing seemed the most surprised out of all of them, “Just then I severely injured him while chasing him into a small hill. He can’t recover this fast with nothing beside him.”

As a maid, she had long observed something was wrong.

She found out that Yu Yuan and Ning Yue insisted on meeting Yuan Lianyao, and Yuan Lianyao even came twice to Yu Yuan’s room to secretly meet him.

When she was setting up the Sacrifice Formation, she first monitored everyone who came in and out of the Manor of the Mayoress.

Sure enough, she saw one night Yuan Qiufang sneaking out with a few of Yuan Clan’s elders.

They went straight to destroy the Sacrifice Formation.

Everyone, except for Yuan Qiufang, was instantly killed, but when she attacked Yuan Qiufang, she was only able to wound him, not being able to kill him immediately.

When she looked for Yuan Qiufang in the dark, Yuan Qiufang was able to use a secret method from the Red Devil Sect to hide his souls from being detected, which temporarily put him out of danger.

At that time, An Ziqing was eager to finish the last setps of the Sacrifice Formation, so she gave up searching after a while and went away.

She thought that after the Sacrifice Formation was activated, her martial brother would easily be able to target Yuan Qiufang and finish him off.

Everything had been working smoothly according to their plan.

But at the last moment, the unexpected still happened.

Her brother did find Yuan Qiufang by using the formation, but he underestimated Yuan Qiufang’s sudden burst of power that was able to destroy the whole formation.

“Young master, what have you done?” She asked again.

“Sorry, I can’t answer that question right now.” Yu Yuan shook his head and mocked what An Ziqing said a moment ago. “And also, I assume that my grandpa’s legs must also be because of you and the Huang Clan’s scheme, so it is hard for me to be on your side.”

“The old man’s legs have nothing to do with us.” An Ziqing tried to explain. “The Huang Clan hired someone else. If they asked us, then we probably would just do something much more severe.”

“Also,” An Ziqing turned her head and looked at Huang Fan. “The Huang Clan is meaningless to us at this point. As long as you want to, I will finish off every single one of them for you right now in front of your eyes. What do you think about that?”
