Chapter 66

Xu Ziyang smiled and said, "Of course it was made by the daughter herself! Father, isn't your daughter amazing?"

Xu Haoguang's face lit up with joy, and he said in a trembling voice, "Yan'er, did you tell the clan leader about this?"

Xu Ziyang's heart skipped a beat, and she shook her head lightly, speaking firmly, "Father, I don't want the family to know about this, at least not now."

"Why?" Xu Haoguang was taken aback.

"Father!" Xu Ziyang looked at her father with a serious expression and said solemnly, "You've been in the family for fifteen years and should know how cruel it is. I don't want to expose too much about myself before I have the ability to protect myself. My talent in cultivation and talisman making is only known by the clan leader and a few others. If everyone in the clan knew, things wouldn't be so peaceful now. If I were to reveal my talent in alchemy, do you think I would still be safe?"

Hearing Xu Ziyang's words, Xu Haoguang was stunned and then felt ashamed. He had experienced fifteen years of brutal competition in the family and knew how dangerous the world was. Even if the family kept this a secret, if outsiders found out, the danger Xu Ziyang would face would be unimaginable.

Seeing her father's changed expression and ashamed eyes, Xu Ziyang said softly, "Father, don't worry. My current talisman skills are already a great help to the family. When my cultivation improves and the time is right, I will refine a batch of elixirs for the family."

Xu Haoguang nodded, finally calming down from his shock. He turned to Xu Yulian and said, "Yulian, you must hide this Spirit Nourishing Pill well. Don't let anyone know; it concerns Yan'er's life."

"Brother Guang, I understand," Xu Yulian said softly, carefully hiding the vial in her bosom. Her determined expression suggested that even if someone threatened her life, she wouldn't reveal that the Spirit Nourishing Pill was made by her daughter.

"Father, take one and see if you can break through to the eighth layer of the Later Heaven stage!" Xu Ziyang said softly.

Hearing this, Xu Haoguang's eyes sparkled with excitement. He nodded forcefully, put the vial in his pocket, and swallowed the Spirit Nourishing Pill he had just taken out.

Xu Ziyang and Xu Yulian stepped back lightly. Xu Yulian held Xu Ziyang's hand and watched her husband in the courtyard with tension. Xu Ziyang patted her mother's hand, smiled at her, and comforted her not to worry.

Soon, a strong spiritual energy fluctuation emanated from Xu Haoguang. The earth and heaven's spiritual energy entering his body began to accelerate. Although breaking through to the eighth layer of the Later Heaven stage wouldn't cause a dramatic fluctuation, even so, his clothes moved without the wind.

After half an hour, the unusual phenomena around Xu Haoguang gradually disappeared. He opened his eyes, his gaze full of surprise.

"Brother Guang, did you break through?" Xu Yulian rushed forward, excitedly examining her husband.

Xu Haoguang looked at his calm daughter, chuckled, nodded, and said softly, "I broke through!"

Xu Ziyang finished lunch with her parents and left after their repeated instructions. Just around the corner, she saw a group of people gathered in front of her door, the twenty or so new disciples. Seeing Xu Ziyang approach, a woman squeezed out of the crowd, ran to her, and bowed deeply, looking anxious and said, "Sister Ziyang, something bad has happened!"

"Don't panic, what happened?" Xu Ziyang had already guessed what had happened, her gaze sharpened, and she stared at the woman.

"Sister Ziyang, the Brave Gang, the Brocade Gang, and the Lingtian Gang have all come to our Plum Blossom Gang. You should go and see! The gang leader sent me to invite you!"

"Let's go!"

Without a word, Xu Ziyang turned and walked towards the Plum Blossom Gang. She thought to herself, "I've been wanting to fight those few at the twelfth layer of the Later Heaven stage to see how well I understand the Dao of Immortals while suppressing my cultivation to the eleventh layer. I'm about to enter the Inner Hall, and I was worried about not having the opportunity, but they've come to me."

Under her calm exterior, Xu Ziyang was suppressing her excitement as she walked briskly towards the Plum Blossom Gang.

Soon, Xu Ziyang and the others arrived at the Plum Blossom Gang. They saw that the outside of the Plum Blossom Gang was surrounded by people from the three gangs. Hearing the footsteps, they all turned to look. Seeing it was Xu Ziyang, they were all stunned, but when they saw the Plum Blossom Gang woman beside her, they immediately reacted.

Xu Ziyang's cold gaze swept over everyone. Many of the people from the three gangs had seen Xu Ziyang, even at the sixth layer of the Later Heaven stage, trample their senior disciples. Many had also fought alongside Xu Ziyang in the Mystic Valley.

So, when they saw Xu Ziyang walking towards them with a cold expression, they unconsciously moved to the sides, clearing a path in the middle.

Xu Ziyang walked through the crowd with a blank expression and came to the entrance of the Plum Blossom Gang's memorial hall. She saw that over two hundred members of the Plum Blossom Gang were standing outside the memorial hall, their faces filled with anger and resentment, staring at the disciples of the three gangs.

Xu Ziyang turned to the new disciples and said, "Wait here for me, and follow Xu Qingsnow's instructions!"

"Yes!" The new disciples responded in unison, glanced at Xu Qingsnow, and stood behind her.

Xu Ziyang stepped into the memorial hall and immediately felt the tension inside. Xu Huniu, Xu Hualing, and other high-ranking members of the Plum Blossom Gang stood in front of Xu Dongxue's memorial, glaring at the people sitting on the seats.

Xu Ziyang's gaze fell on Xu Gan, Xu Wen, and Xu Tianxiao. Xu Gan still had his usual fierce appearance, Xu Wen was still as flamboyant, holding a folding fan even in winter. Xu Tianxiao still had his cold expression, but Xu Ziyang could immediately sense that the three of them were consciously restraining their aura, looking respectfully at a person in the middle.

Xu Ziyang's gaze turned to that person. He was dressed in black, with an ordinary appearance, but his eyes were filled with a flirtatious look, and his mouth was curled up in a haughty manner.

Seeing Xu Ziyang step in, the black-clad man's expression changed slightly, clearly recognizing her...
