Chapter 11

Wang Wu was terrified and said, "I swear to be loyal to you, young master!"

"Remember what you said today. If you go back on your word, you'll be like this rock!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a fist-sized rock beside Wang Wu suddenly broke into pieces.

Wang Wu was shocked. "I swear to be loyal to you, young master. If I go back on my word, I'll be like this rock!"

Yang Xuan nodded. "You go first. I'll look for you if I need anything!"

Wang Wu heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly stood up! He bowed to Yang Xuan and left!

After that, Yang Xuan cultivated diligently every night. After half a month, he finally found the opportunity to break through. After his mind was baptized by the golden lightning again, he finally formed the fourth cyclone in his body and successfully entered the fourth level of Qi Refining.

At this time, the four cyclones in Yang Xuan's body were spinning on their own. At the same time, they slowly revolved around the center of his dantian. The speed of the spiritual energy entering his body greatly increased. When he waved his hand, he could feel a great power.

After Yang Xuan's original Golden Moon Slash reached the fourth level of Qi Refining, its power became even greater.

Yang Xuan once tried it in a secluded place. Under the Golden Moon Slash, a tree with four people hugging around it would fall down instantly!

At this point, Yang Xuan's confidence increased greatly. He believed that even if he faced a stronger enemy, he would still have the strength to fight.

Yang Jing's disappearance finally alarmed the higher-ups of the Yang family.

At first, Yang Jing's disappearance did not attract anyone's attention, but as time passed, it finally aroused the suspicion of some people.

After some investigation, Yang Jing seemed to have disappeared into thin air, leaving no trace behind. Finally, the seventh elder in charge of this area, Yang Hanwu, was alerted.

Elder Yang Hanwu was at the ninth level of Internal Strength. He was arrogant and when he heard the news of Yang Jing's disappearance, he was furious and ordered a strict investigation.

After this investigation, he found that Chen Er was also missing with Yang Jing. After further investigation, he finally found out a piece of shocking news.

"What?"

Yang Hanwu stood up abruptly and said in surprise, "Niu Yuan was killed by Yang Xuan?"

"Elder, this is absolutely true. A servant saw it with his own eyes!"

Yang Hanwu frowned. "Why was this matter kept secret for so long?"

The messenger said, "This subordinate heard that on the day of the incident, all the servants who knew about it were ordered to keep their mouths shut by Yang Jing! That's why I was able to conceal it! "

"How preposterous!"

Yang Hanwu was furious. "Yang Jing is really audacious. He actually dared to deceive us about such a big matter. Have you found Xiao Jing?!"

The person shook his head and said, "Replying to Elder, this subordinate did not manage to find the Fourth Chief Steward, but according to this subordinate's information, the last time someone saw the Fourth Chief Steward, he seemed to be heading towards the bamboo forest at the back of the mountain!"

Yang Hanwu pondered for a moment and said, "Bring some people to the back of the mountain to take a look!"

The person replied, "Yes," then bowed and left.

Yang Hanwu sat in the chair, but his brows were deeply furrowed. He was not thinking about the whereabouts of Xiao Jing, but about Yang Xuan.

Yang Xuan, who was born with a crippled body and had yet to reach Level 1 Internal Force after nine years of cultivation, was able to kill Niu Yuan, who was at Level 3 Internal Force, in front of everyone's eyes. Furthermore, it was a one-hit kill.

What exactly was the reason behind this?

Was it because Yang Xuan was good at hiding his true strength for nine years? Or did he have a fortuitous encounter?

The former was unlikely. Not to mention that Yang Xuan was born with a crippled body, he had seen it with his own eyes. Furthermore, he was only a teenager, so there was no way he could be so patient. Furthermore, there was no benefit for him to do this, nor was there any motive.

Thus, there was only the second possibility left. Yang Xuan must have had a fortuitous encounter that changed his body constitution and allowed him to cultivate Internal Force.

Yang Hanwu's eyes lit up. To be able to make a crippled person with no Internal Force reach Level 3 Internal Force in a short period of time, no, to be able to kill Niu Yuan in one move, it should be at least Level 4 Internal Force. Then, this fortuitous encounter must be no small matter.

Miracle medicine? Secret manual?

Thinking of this, Yang Hanwu's eyes flashed with greed. He suddenly raised his voice and said, "Men, bring me Yang Xuan!"

…

At the same time, Yang Xuan was smiling bitterly.

Looking at Yang Jiaxue who kept circling him with a thoughtful expression, Yang Xuan could do nothing but smile bitterly.

"You seem different!"

Yang Jiaxue suddenly stopped. Her face was full of confusion, and her big eyes blinked as she said this.

Yang Xuan said helplessly, "How am I different?"

"You've become fairer again, and your skin is very delicate and shiny! You weren't like this in the past! "Yang Jiaxue said with certainty.

Yang Xuan was speechless.

Yang Jiaxue frowned and said, "Also, I feel that you're different in some way, but I can't put my finger on it!"

Yang Xuan said, "You must be seeing things!"

Yang Jiaxue rolled her eyes and said, "I'm not a three-year-old child, how could I be seeing things?"

Yang Xuan didn't know how to answer Yang Jiaxue's question, so he could only play dumb.

Yang Jiaxue put her face in front of Yang Xuan and looked him up and down. She even touched Yang Xuan's face and studied it for a while before saying, "Something's not right!"

Yang Xuan was slightly surprised and said, "What's not right?"

Yang Jiaxue said proudly, "You must have used some whitening medicine. Otherwise, how could there be such a big change?"

Yang Xuan was speechless.

Yang Jiaxue gave him a look that said, "Tell me, what medicine is it? I want to use it too! "

Yang Xuan didn't know how to answer at all, so he just continued to play dumb.

Yang Jiaxue was about to say something when suddenly, an annoying voice sounded. "Hey, isn't this Twelfth Brother? Long time no see, I really miss you! Ah? Haha! "

"Yes! Twelfth Brother, you and I haven't been intimate for a long time, haha! "

Accompanied by two drake-like voices, two people walked over, one in front and one behind. It was the two brothers, Yang Jiayou and Yang Jiaqiang!

These two brothers were of the same generation as Yang Xuan and often bullied Yang Xuan.

Yang Xuan turned his head and his eyes became cold.

At this moment, Yang Jiaxue suddenly realized what was different about Yang Xuan. It was his temperament.

In the past, Yang Xuan showed more of that kind of sadness, but now it had changed and he was extremely confident.

Sometimes, she even felt that Yang Xuan was emitting an inexplicable aura that made people respect him!

Just as Yang Jiaxue was in a daze, Yang Jiayou sneered and said, "What? Twelfth Brother, why don't you greet your elder brother? "

Yang Xuan was expressionless and didn't say a word.

Although he wanted to pinch Yang Jiaqiang to death, he couldn't deal with the consequences of killing.

His current strength was not enough to override the Yang Family. Moreover, he still had to consider for his mother.

The Yang Jiaqiang brothers were different from Yang Jing and Niu Yuan.

Yang Jing and Niu Yuan were just servants of the Yang Family. If they died, so be it. As long as he recovered his identity, no one would dare to say anything.

But the Yang Jiaqiang and Yang Jiayou brothers were direct disciples of the Yang Family. Once they died, it would definitely cause a huge uproar.

Strength, everything still depended on strength.

If his strength was far above the Yang Family, not to mention killing the Yang Jiaqiang brothers, even if he killed the family head, who would say a word?

Yang Jiaqiang saw that Yang Xuan was ignoring him and couldn't help but be furious. He grabbed Yang Xuan's collar.

Yang Xuan's expression didn't change, and he said word by word, "Let go."

Yang Jiaqiang laughed, "Looks like you're itching for a beating. Fine, let me teach you a lesson today, what it means to respect your elder brother!"

After saying that, a slap flew towards Yang Xuan's face.

Yang Xuan's eyes suddenly turned cold.

Yang Jiaqiang saw that his slap was about to hit Yang Xuan, and his eyes couldn't help but reveal an excited expression. However, in the next moment, Yang Xuan lightly pushed him.

A huge force hit him, and the hand holding his collar suddenly slipped. He couldn't help but take a few steps back, stumbling and almost sitting on the ground.

Yang Jiayou saw this and didn't have time to think. He cursed 'little bastard' and raised his leg to kick Yang Xuan.

Yang Xuan's expression became incomparably cold, and his whole person suddenly emitted a dangerous aura.

In the next moment, this trace of killing intent suddenly converged and disappeared without a trace.

It was all because Yang Jiaxue finally stopped being in a daze. Seeing the sudden change in the situation, she couldn't help but become anxious, and suddenly blocked in front of Yang Xuan, "Stop, stop!"

Yang Jiayou resentfully retracted his leg, "Little Xue, move aside, let me teach this brat who doesn't know how to respect his elder brother!"

Yang Jiaqiang also steadied himself, but didn't think about why he was pushed, and only thought that it was because of his carelessness. When he saw that Yang Jiaxue was actually protecting Yang Xuan, he couldn't help but angrily say, "Seventeenth Sister, move aside!"

Yang Jiaxue angrily said, "You two only know how to bully Yang Xuan all day. You must know, he's your brother!"

Yang Jiaqiang was pushed by Yang Xuan, and his face darkened. He angrily said, "Are you going to move aside or not?"

Yang Jiaxue shook her head and said, "No, I want to tell my father about what happened today!"

The few of them were in a deadlock when a guard suddenly appeared and said, "Young Master, Young Miss, Seventh Elder wants to see Young Master Yang Xuan!"

"Seventh Grandpa?"

Yang Jiaqiang and Yang Jiayou looked at each other, not knowing why Seventh Grandpa wanted to see Yang Xuan.

"Do you know why Seventh Grandpa wants to see Yang Xuan?"

Yang Jiayou asked.

The guard said, "I don't know!"

Yang Jiaqiang looked at Yang Xuan unwillingly and said hatefully, "You're lucky, brat. After today, I'll beat you until you're looking for your teeth all over the floor!"

Yang Xuan looked coldly at Yang Jiayou, but didn't say anything.

Yang Jiaxue said angrily, "I'll definitely tell my father about what happened today!"

Yang Jiaqiang then looked resentfully at Yang Xuan, and left unwillingly with Yang Jiayou.

The guard said expressionlessly, "Young Master Yang Xuan, Seventh Elder wants you to see him immediately, you'd better come with me quickly!"

Although this guard called him Young Master, there wasn't the slightest bit of respect on his face. It was just a routine look.

Yang Xuan nodded at Yang Jiaxue and said, "Thank you! I'm leaving! "

After that, he left with the guard.

"Hey, you haven't answered my question …" Yang Jiaxue shouted from behind.

Yang Xuan acted as if he didn't hear her. He didn't even turn his head, but his footsteps seemed to have quickened. After turning a corner, he disappeared.

Yang Jiaxue stomped her feet angrily. "Why are you running so fast? I still have questions to ask! "

Chapter 12

In the Tiger Leaping Gorge, which was a hundred miles away from Peace City, a yellow horse was running desperately with dust flying behind it.

The rider on the horse secretly touched the brocade box in his arms. He was very anxious. The thing in his arms was very important. No matter what, he had to send it home safely.

Suddenly, he slapped the horse's back with both hands, and his entire body abruptly flew backwards into the air.

"Whoosh!"

A long arrow brushed past the knight's legs, causing him to break out in cold sweat in an instant.

After dodging the long arrow, the knight concentrated his Qi in his dantian and used the Thousand Pound Fall Kung Fu. The moment he landed on the ground, his toes touched the ground and his whole body bounced back. With a fierce killing intent, he rushed to the top of a big tree on the left.

"Hahaha, Yang Qingshu, how have you been?" Suddenly, a person shot out from the big tree. His right palm seemed light, but it was heavy. It fiercely collided with Yang Qingshu's fist.

"Boom!" A loud sound came from the place where the two people's fists and palms collided. For a moment, the sand and stones within a radius of three feet were flying and dust was flying.

After a moment, the dust dispersed. A man in his forties with an ordinary appearance was seen. He was wearing a green robe with a longbow on his back. At this moment, he was standing with his hands behind his back and looking at Yang Qingshu with a smile.

Yang Qingshu looked dignified and said in a deep voice, "Who are you?"

The man in green said proudly, "You don't have to ask!"

Following the green-robed man's words, several other green-robed men appeared in the surroundings.

Yang Qingshu was secretly vigilant and said coldly, "What do you mean by this?"

The man in green shook his head and said, "Why do you ask when you already know the answer? Let's not beat around the bush. Put down the thing in your arms and you can leave. I won't stop you! "

Yang Qingshu's heart trembled. He knew that he could not be kind today. He snorted and said, "Sir, if you want the thing in my arms, let's see if you have the ability to!"

At this moment, he was a little anxious. It seemed that the news had been leaked. He was afraid that he would be in trouble today. However, the thing in his arms was very important. Even if he had to risk his life, he had to send it back to the clan.

The man in green did not have a different expression. If it were him, he would not easily hand over the thing.

He didn't want to waste any more words. He waved his right hand and shouted, "Kill!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he shot out like a bolt of lightning, charging towards Yang Qingshu like an arrow released from a bow.

Yang QingShu's Level Eight Internal Strength was fully activated in an instant. His Roaring Tiger Fist danced to the extreme as he struck towards the man in green.

In an instant, Yang Qingshu judged the situation, and he couldn't help but have the intention to retreat.

He made a feint and pretended to charge forward. Just as the man in green was about to defend himself, he suddenly retreated like lightning.

Unexpectedly, the green-clothed man reacted very quickly. In a flash, he took out the longbow on his back, nocked an arrow, and shot it out.

This arrow immediately sealed off his escape route, and Yang Qingshu was forced to fall back into the encirclement.

Yang Qingshu felt the pressure multiplying, gradually unable to bear it. A moment later, his left shoulder was hit, and the pain immediately penetrated his heart, causing his movements to slow down.

At this critical moment, a black shadow suddenly rushed into the battle. "Bang, bang, bang, bang!" Four consecutive sounds were heard, and the four Level Six Internal Strength martial artists all spat out blood. Their bodies flew backwards, and it was unknown whether they were dead or alive.

The green-clothed man was shocked. Just as he was about to retreat, he suddenly felt an irresistible force coming towards him. His body flew out involuntarily, and his vision turned black as he lost consciousness.

Yang Qingshu narrowly escaped death, but he was still in shock. He looked up and saw a masked man in black standing in front of him.

He hurriedly cupped his hands and bowed deeply to the masked man. He said respectfully, "Thank you, senior, for saving my life!"

The masked man didn't say anything. He suddenly reached out and grabbed Yang Qingshu. After a few leaps, he disappeared.

…

Yang Xuan followed the internal guard to the Seventh Elder's place. After reporting to the Seventh Elder, he entered the hall and saw the Seventh Elder, Yang Hanwu, sitting in the main chair with his eyes closed as if he was asleep.

Yang Xuan bowed to Yang Hanwu and said, "Seventh Elder!"

Yang Hanwu's eyes were still closed.

Yang Xuan didn't say anything. He just waited quietly.

After a long time, Yang Hanwu opened his eyes and said slowly, "Yang Xuan, do you know why I'm looking for you?"

Yang Xuan shook his head and said, "I don't know!"

Yang Hanwu slammed the table. "How dare you!"

Yang Xuan didn't move. He remained silent.

Yang Hanwu saw that Yang Xuan couldn't be intimidated. He shouted again, "Did you kill Niu Yuan?"

"Yes!"

Yang Hanwu slammed the table. "Do you know your crime?"

"What crime?"

Yang Hanwu was angry. "You killed a member of your family without permission. How can you be innocent?"

Yang Xuan retorted, "Niu Yuan offended his superiors. He attacked me without permission and was killed by me. What crime is that?"

Yang Hanwu was momentarily at a loss for words. He had forgotten that even though Yang Xuan had been reduced to a servant, he was still a direct descendant of the Yang family. Niu Yuan attacking Yang Xuan was already a capital offense, and being killed by Yang Xuan was only right and proper.

Yang Hanwu narrowed his eyes and stared at Yang Xuan like a poisonous snake. After a while, he said slowly, "How did you do it?"

Yang Xuan was silent.

Yang Hanwu saw that Yang Xuan was silent. He narrowed his eyes and said slowly, "You were born with a crippled body. After nine years of cultivation, you still haven't reached Level One Internal Force. Now, you can suddenly kill Niu Yuan, who is at Level Three Internal Force. I need an explanation!"

After he finished speaking, he suddenly reached out and pinched Yang Xuan's meridian point.

Yang Xuan's eyes seemed to move, but he relaxed after thinking about it and allowed Yang Hanwu to grab his arm.

Yang Hanwu pinched Yang Xuan's meridian point. His Internal Force instantly circulated in Yang Xuan's body, but he couldn't help but frown.

He sensed with his Internal Force and found that Yang Xuan's body was empty. There was no trace of Internal Force.

He couldn't help but be curious. Unwilling to give up, he carefully searched again. The result was the same. There was no trace of Internal Force in Yang Xuan's body.

Yang Xuan caught the change in expression on Yang Hanwu's face. He couldn't help but feel relieved. It seemed that the strange vortex in his dantian couldn't be felt by outsiders.

This also allowed him to put down a stone in his heart. No one was willing to let their secrets be seen clearly by others.

Yang Hanwu released Yang Xuan's meridian point. He was puzzled.

Logically speaking, since Yang Xuan could easily kill Niu Yuan, who was at Level Three Internal Force, he should at least be at Level Four Internal Force. But now, under his Internal Force perception, Yang Xuan's body didn't have a trace of Internal Force. It was the same as before.

But Yang Xuan was still a piece of trash. How could he have killed Niu Yuan?

A series of questions filled Yang Hanwu's mind.

Yang Xuan was relieved. He stood quietly and didn't say a word.

Yang Hanwu pondered for a moment, but he still couldn't figure it out. He stared straight at Yang Xuan, his eyes full of suspicion. He said word by word, "Yang Xuan, you don't have any Internal Force in your body. How did you kill Niu Yuan?"

Yang Xuan finally spoke, "That's my problem. Seventh Elder, you don't have to worry about it!"

Yang Hanwu was stunned. In terms of seniority, he was Yang Xuan's Seventh Grandpa. In terms of status, he was even an elder of the family. But now, Yang Xuan was facing him with an indifferent expression, as if he didn't put him in his eyes at all. This kind of attitude was something that not even the head of the family, Yang Qingshan, had ever shown, let alone an ordinary third generation disciple.

Yang Hanwu was furious.

However, he had never considered that ever since Yang Xuan had been born, he had never shown the slightest bit of reverence for Buddha. Furthermore, he had allowed his juniors to bully and humiliate Yang Xuan. How could Yang Xuan possibly respect such a person?

"You little bastard, how dare you talk to me like that. Tell me, who gave you such courage?"

Yang Hanwu slammed the table and shouted angrily. His voice was like thunder, shaking the doors and windows.

Yang Xuan looked at Yang Hanwu calmly. He would rather break than bend. In the face of anyone, he would never back down.

Yang Hanwu's face was filled with anger, "What an unruly brat. Today, I'll teach you a lesson. I'll let you know what rules are."

After saying that, he suddenly slapped Yang Xuan's face.

Yang Hanwu's cultivation was extremely profound, having already reached the peak of Inner Force Stage Nine. Although he had only used a third of his strength in this attack, it was still no small matter. Furthermore, he wanted to test Yang Xuan's strength, so he naturally used more strength in his attack.

For a moment, a gust of wind blew in the hall. The whistling sound was endless, and Yang Xuan's clothes fluttered in the wind.

Yang Xuan's face changed. He knew that Yang Hanwu's cultivation was at Level Nine Internal Force, but he didn't know that a casual attack could cause such a huge commotion.

However, he wanted to test his strength, so he didn't dodge. He clenched his fist and punched towards Yang Hanwu's palm.

Ever since he became an Aura Refining cultivator, his body had been tempered and transformed by spiritual energy. Although he knew that his strength had increased greatly, he had never been able to compare himself to what extent his strength had reached. At this moment, seeing Yang Hanwu make a move, he inwardly exclaimed, "Good timing!" Spiritual energy surged as he attacked with all his strength.

"Bang!"

As the fist and palm met, Yang Hanwu's heart skipped a beat. He could feel an irresistible force coming from Yang Xuan's fist, smashing his internal energy to pieces as it continued to rush towards his body without slowing down.

Yang Hanwu's shock was no small matter. His internal energy began to circulate rapidly, and he increased his strength as he fiercely pressed down on Yang Xuan.

Yang Xuan immediately felt as if a huge mountain was crushing down on him, and an unparalleled wave of energy instantly drowned him out.

"Boom!"

A strong wind blew, and the tables and chairs were suddenly sent flying. An empty space about six meters in diameter appeared in the center of the hall.

Chapter 13

Yang Xuan felt an unstoppable force coming at him, and his body involuntarily retreated.

"Teng, teng, teng, teng, teng!"

Yang Xuan only managed to stabilize himself after taking seven steps back. His blood was boiling, and he could not help but be shocked. How could a Stage Nine inner force attack him so fiercely?

What Yang Xuan did not know was that the shock he brought to Yang Hanwu was even greater.

The moment they exchanged blows, Yang Hanwu's body swayed, and he could not help but take a step back.

His face turned ugly, and he said in a low voice, "The peak of Stage Seven inner force!!!"

His voice was filled with disbelief.

Yang Hanwu was shocked. A few months ago, this person was still a piece of trash with no inner force. Today, he could face him head-on, and he only took a few steps back.

He was at Stage Nine Internal Force. Even if he only used fifty percent of his strength, it was still not a small matter. Yet, Yang Xuan was able to withstand it unscathed. Only someone at the peak of Stage Seven inner force could do this.

In an instant, Yang Hanwu's eyes lit up with eagerness as several thoughts ran through his mind.

"This kid must have had some kind of fortuitous encounter, or maybe he ate some kind of treasure to be able to reach the peak of Stage Seven in such a short period of time. Also, he must have some kind of treasure on him that can hide the presence of his Inner Force so that I can't detect it."

Yang Hanwu's eyes flashed with greed.

At this moment, Yang Xuan finally understood the level of his strength.

Stage Four inner force, in terms of strength alone, was equivalent to the peak of Stage Seven inner force.

He could not help but feel excited at the thought of this.

His yearning for strength had finally become a reality at this moment. From now on, he would no longer have to look at anyone's face, nor would he be afraid of anyone.

Yang Xuan stared at Yang Hanwu fiercely.

He did not have a good impression of this seventh grandpa of his.

Yang Hanwu had a grandson who was usually arrogant and domineering. He often bullied Yang Xuan, but Yang Hanwu turned a blind eye to it, and even deliberately allowed it.

He did not want such a grandpa.

Yang Hanwu said in a low voice, "Yang Xuan, hand over the treasure on you, and I can make the decision to restore your status as a direct descendant of the Yang family. From now on, you will be a superior person!"

Yang Xuan was stunned. Where did he get the treasure from?

Then, he realized that with such a huge change in his body, it would be strange if others did not suspect that he had some kind of treasure.

However, not to mention that he didn't have any treasures on him, even if he did, why would he give them to Yang Hanwu?

Seeing the undisguised greed in Yang Hanwu's eyes, Yang Xuan only sneered in his heart.

"And if I don't?"

Yang Hanwu's face turned cold. His eyes were filled with murderous intent, but he suppressed it and said, "Yang Xuan, as long as you hand over the treasure on you and tell me how you reached Stage Seven in such a short time, I will not only restore your status as a direct descendant of the Yang family, but also teach you a high-level martial arts technique!"

In this world, high grade martial techniques were extremely rare and hard to come by. If it were anyone else, they would definitely be overjoyed and nod their heads in agreement. But to Yang Xuan, the only cultivator in this world, it was as worthless as dirt.

Yang Xuan sneered, "Seventh Elder, I don't have any treasure on me, so don't waste your time."

Yang Hanwu was furious, "Yang Xuan, don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. I'll ask again, will you hand it over or not?"

Yang Xuan was resolute, "No!"

At this moment, although he was facing a Stage Nine Internal Force expert, he was not afraid.

Yang Hanwu finally flew into a rage. No longer caring about his dignity, he crossed his palms and suddenly grabbed at Yang Xuan.

With this grab, a strong wind blew in all directions, and the momentum was even greater than before. A huge wave of air rushed over, making it difficult for people to breathe.

But Yang Xuan was not afraid. He was ready to use the Golden Moon Slash.

At this moment of imminent peril, a voice suddenly rang out.

"Stop!"

Following this shout, a figure suddenly flashed between the two. With his back to Yang Xuan, he held Yang Hanwu's hands.

"Seventh Elder, what are you doing?"

Yang Hanwu took advantage of the momentum to jump back and stabilize himself. He looked up and saw a hale and hearty old man standing in front of him. It was the Third Elder, Yang Zhenxi. Yang Hanwu's heart sank.

Yang Zhenxi looked at the scene in the hall and turned his head to look at Yang Xuan. A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. If he remembered correctly, Yang Xuan was born with a crippled body and could not cultivate. But now, how could he …?

He did not have time to think about it. He turned his head and said angrily to Yang Hanwu, "Seventh Elder, what are you doing?"

Yang Hanwu suddenly smiled, "Third Elder Brother, how come you have time to come today?"

Yang Zhenxi's voice was like thunder, "Don't play dumb with me. Tell me, what is going on?"

Yang Zhenxi was at the peak of Stage Nine Internal Force. His personality was explosive, and he could not tolerate sand in his eyes. He had worked hard for the family all his life. For the family's benefit, he would give up everything.

Yang Hanwu laughed, "It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding! Yang Xuan is successful in his cultivation. I just wanted to test my strength by exchanging blows with him! Yang Xuan, don't you think so? "He then looked at Yang Xuan with a warning look in his eyes.

Yang Xuan sneered in his heart, but his face was expressionless.

Although Yang Zhenxi looked rough, his eyes were sharp. How could he not know that Yang Hanwu was making excuses? But now was not the time to ask, because there was a bigger question in front of him.

He turned around and looked at Yang Xuan. His eyes were full of doubt, "You've cultivated Internal Force?"

Yang Xuan hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Yes!"

He did not hate the Third Elder, Yang Zhenxi, because he knew that this person was always fair and impartial. He had no intention of playing favoritism.

Yang Zhenxi suddenly reached out his hand to Yang Xuan. Yang Xuan did not dodge and let Yang Zhenxi feel his pulse.

Yang Zhenxi's internal force circulated in Yang Xuan's body, but he frowned, "You don't have any internal force in your body!"

At this time, Yang Hanwu interrupted, "Third Elder Brother, I also thought it was strange, so I tried to test Yang Xuan. I didn't expect Yang Xuan to have reached the seventh level of Internal Force. I was just about to try again, but you came!"

Yang Xuan glanced at Yang Hanwu with a faint smile on his face, which made Yang Hanwu angry.

Yang Zhenxi was surprised, "Seventh level of Internal Force? You've reached the seventh level of Internal Force, but why can't I feel any trace of it in your body? "

As he spoke, he released Yang Xuan's wrist, frowning as he asked, "Yang Xuan, why don't you tell me what happened?"

Yang Xuan said, "One night a few months ago, I was very upset, so I went to the back of the mountain alone! I sat by the lake and stared blankly! "

He organized his words and continued, "After a while, I heard a noise beside me. It turned out to be a wild rabbit, so I wanted to catch it and make it into meat soup. But who knew that the rabbit was so agile that I couldn't catch it. "

"I followed it all the way. I didn't know how far I ran, but after a few turns, the rabbit suddenly disappeared! I searched for a long time and finally found a big hole behind a big rock. The hole was only the size of two people and was covered by vines and wormwood. If I didn't look carefully, I wouldn't have found it.

Out of curiosity, I climbed down along the vines! "

"The hole was about four feet deep. When I reached the bottom, I didn't find the rabbit, but I found a stone platform. There was a stone bowl on the stone platform, and the bowl was half filled with water!"

Yang Zhenbei and Yang Hanwu's hearts skipped a beat. It seemed that the key was the water in the bowl.

Yang Xuan continued, "The water was very clear, colorless, and tasteless. I just thought it was rainwater. I was tired at the time, so I picked up the stone bowl and drank the water!"

"And then?" Yang Hanwu's breathing quickened as he asked.

"And then I went back to sleep!"

Yang Xuan glanced at him! Yang Zhenxi also frowned and asked, "And then?"

Yang Xuan said, "And then, I inexplicably cultivated inner force!"

Yang Xuan's words were 100% true, and 100% false.

He knew that the key to lying was to use the truth to form a lie. The first 90% of what he said was true. The hole also existed, and it was Yang Xuan who accidentally found it.

There was also a stone platform and a stone bowl in the hole, but there wasn't any water in the stone bowl. It was empty. Of course, the story of drinking it was also fabricated.

Yang Zhenxi and Yang Hanwu looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

A bowl of water would never turn a person who couldn't practice martial arts into a martial arts genius. To reach the seventh level of inner force in such a short time, there was only one possibility to achieve such a miraculous effect, and that was …

That bowl of water must be some kind of treasure!

Yang Hanwu glared at Yang Xuan. "Why didn't you report it? Why did you secretly swallow it? Do you know …"

Yang Zhenxi interrupted him and looked at Yang Xuan. He said in a low voice, "Do you still remember the location of the hole?"

Yang Xuan nodded. "I remember!"

Yang Zhenxi made a prompt decision. "Let's go!"

After saying that, he grabbed Yang Xuan and rushed out of the room.

Chapter 14

Relying on his memory, Yang Xuan led Yang Zhenxi and Yang Hanwu to that secret place.

Yang Zhenxi observed the surroundings. There were few people here and it was very secluded.

However, Yang Hanwu was not in the mood to observe. He asked Yang Xuan, "Where is that cave?"

Yang Xuan pointed in a direction.

Yang Zhenxi and Yang Hanwu rushed in the direction Yang Xuan pointed at.

The three of them turned around a huge rock and saw vines intertwining with weeds. Looking around, there was no trace of a cave.

Yang Zhenxi nodded inwardly. This place was indeed very secretive. He could not help but believe half of Yang Xuan's words.

Yang Hanwu suddenly stepped forward and slapped behind the rock. A huge palm wind swept past and the vines and weeds were uprooted.

After the palm wind passed, a dark cave entrance was revealed. Yang Hanwu was about to jump down when he suddenly turned around and said to Yang Xuan, "You go first!"

Yang Xuan laughed, his eyes full of mockery. He immediately took the lead and jumped down.

Seeing Yang Xuan jump down without hesitation, Yang Hanwu felt that he was being too careful. He smiled at Yang Zhenxi and jumped down as well.

Yang Zhenxi shook his head but did not say anything. He then jumped down as well!

The cave was about ten meters deep. It was narrow on the outside and wide on the inside. The cave entrance was small, but the bottom of the cave was very spacious and flat.

When Yang Hanwu and Yang Zhenxi landed at the bottom of the cave, the first thing they saw was a stone platform half the height of a person in the middle of the cave. It was covered in moss and weeds. On top of the stone platform, there was a white stone bowl.

The two of them quickly grabbed it and saw that the stone bowl was empty. There was no liquid at all.

Yang Zhenxi did not find it strange, but a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

Yang Hanwu's face was filled with disappointment. He even glared at Yang Xuan who was standing to the side.

Yang Xuan shrugged, a faint smile on his face.

Yang Zhenxi looked around and searched inch by inch. However, the cave wasn't big. As far as his eyes could see, he could see everything. Other than the stone table and bowl, there was nothing else.

With nothing to show for it, Yang Zhenxi picked up the stone bowl and leaped back up. Yang Zhenxi looked around again and memorized the features of this place.

After returning to the clan, Yang Zhenxi let Yang Xuan return by himself, while he and Yang Hanwu hurriedly reported to Yang Qingshan.

Before he left, Yang Hanwu did not forget to glare viciously at Yang Xuan. His gaze was sinister, like a venomous snake that could devour a person at any time.

Yang Xuan was not to be outdone. He sneered at Yang Hanwu, his eyes cold.

By the time Yang Xuan returned to his residence, it was already dinner time. Qian Shi had already prepared dinner and was waiting anxiously with a face full of worry. Seeing that Yang Xuan had returned, she finally relaxed and scolded him, "Little Xuan, why are you only back now?"

Yang Xuan's heart warmed. Although his mother was scolding him, her concern for him was obvious.

Being an orphan in his previous life, he placed great importance on family in this life. Only in front of his mother would he reveal his true feelings.

"Oh, I was delayed by something!"

Immediately changing the topic, he laughed, "Hehe, Mother, what delicious food did you make this time?"

Qian Shi did not suspect anything and lightly hit Yang Xuan's head, "Next time you come back late, there won't be any food!"

Yang Xuan laughed mischievously, picked up the bowl and began to eat.

After dinner, Yang Xuan accompanied his mother for a while before returning to his room.

Sitting cross-legged on his bed, Yang Xuan's consciousness sank into his dantian.

Currently, there were four cyclones neatly arranged in his dantian, constantly rotating.

Spiritual energy constantly flowed into the cyclones, and with every bit that flowed in, the cyclones grew stronger.

The fourth layer of Qi Refining was already so powerful. Who knew what level he would reach when he reached Foundation Establishment or Golden Core?

Sighing, he thought of the martial arts technique he created, Golden Moon Slash.

With a thought, a crescent moon with a faint golden glow formed in front of him, shining with a beautiful radiance.

Yang Xuan knew that although the crescent moon was beautiful, it was extremely powerful.

For him, the only cultivator, Golden Moon Slash should be a Daoist technique and not a martial arts technique.

Unfortunately, this was the only Daoist technique he knew. Yang Xuan sighed inwardly.

After observing for a while, Yang Xuan dispersed his spiritual energy, and the golden crescent moon disappeared into the air.

Yang Xuan sighed in his heart, but at the same time, he also felt a little emotional.

The fourth layer of Qi Refining. The power of the four cyclones in his dantian was actually at the peak of the seventh layer of Qi Refining.

This was also the first time he clearly understood his own strength.

If this continued, three cyclones were equivalent to the sixth layer of Qi Refining. Two cyclones were equivalent to the fifth layer of Qi Refining. No wonder he was able to kill Niu Yuan with one palm.

He also thought that if he went one step further and formed the fifth cyclone, he would be equivalent to the eighth layer of Qi Refining. And his sixth uncle, Yang Qingshu, was also at the eighth layer of Qi Refining.

Then he thought of Yang Hanwu. Yang Xuan sneered in his heart.

This person was extremely arrogant and greedy. Yang Xuan did not have a good impression of him.

Although he was at the peak of the ninth layer of Qi Refining, Yang Xuan was not afraid of him. This was because he still had his trump card, Golden Moon Slash.

Yang Xuan believed that if he was caught off guard, even Yang Hanwu, who was at the peak of the ninth layer of Qi Refining, would suffer a great loss when faced with his Golden Moon Slash.

Above the peak of the tenth layer of Qi Refining was the Connate Stage.

A Connate Stage master's every move could trigger the Qi of Heaven and Earth.

In that case, was the Qi of Heaven and Earth cultivated by martial artists the same as the Spiritual Qi he cultivated?

Yang Xuan guessed in his heart.

He felt that the Spirit Qi he cultivated was of a higher level than the Connate Stage power used by Connate Stage martial artists.

Yang Xuan's eyes shone brightly like never before.

Above the Acquired Stage was the Connate Stage.

Hundred Disperse Sky, One Line Sky, Three Flowers at One's Prominence, Five Qis Collecting in Mind …

These legendary martial arts realms flowed through his mind one by one.

"I wonder who is stronger, compared to me, a self-cultivator?"

Yang Xuan thought to himself. His eyes were filled with determination.

"Spirit Qi!" Yang Xuan said.

His voice was ethereal and low, but it was unusually majestic. In an instant, it seemed to resound through the entire world.

"Spirit Qi!" "Spirit Qi!" "Spirit Qi!"

Suddenly, the world seemed to be filled with this voice, reverberating back and forth.

Suddenly. "Boom!" A huge lightning bolt suddenly cut through the sky and pierced the firmament. Suddenly, the world trembled. It seemed that these two words had revealed the secret of heaven and caused the world to be furious.

When the two words blurted out, Yang Xuan felt for the first time that the Spirit Qi particles in the world cheered at the same time. They seemed to be happy that Yang Xuan called out their names, but also seemed to be celebrating that Yang Xuan gave them names.

They jumped, cheered, and sang all the way, madly rushing toward Yang Xuan's Dantian.

For a moment, Yang Xuan's Dantian was agitated. Endless Spirit Qi from the outside world rushed in at a crazy speed, causing the four cyclones to expand at a terrifying speed.

In just a moment, the golden lightning bolt appeared from the void again and began to bombard with a destructive momentum.

The cyclones continued to expand, and the golden lightning's momentum became more and more vast. After an unknown period of time, the four cyclones finally merged into one in Yang Xuan's anticipation.

The golden lightning stopped bombarding and began to prepare for the final attack.

The huge cyclones rotated slowly, like a solemn army, waiting for their commander.

It's coming!

Yang Xuan was fearless. He laughed loudly, and his mind turned into a stream of light with incomparable confidence and entered the cyclones.

For a moment, the huge cyclones seemed to have a backbone. They surged wildly and issued the strongest challenge to the brewing golden lightning.

Five golden dragons with boundless power were born from the void. In the face of Yang Xuan's challenge, they roared in unison.

The cyclones were ready, and the sound of horns and drums could be vaguely heard. They emitted a momentum that could swallow mountains and rivers, as if a powerful army was ready to charge at any time.

"Boom!"

In the next moment, the five golden dragons roared even louder and rushed over with unparalleled momentum.

Yang Xuan roared, "Come on!"

The loud voice echoed in the void, and the world roared.

"Boom!" No one could describe the power generated by this collision. The huge and immeasurable power swept through the entire Dantian in an instant, making Yang Xuan's body, which was sitting cross-legged on the bed, tremble violently.

The five giant golden dragons shuttled back and forth, bombarding Yang Xuan time and time again with tremendous power, causing thunderous booms to ring out incessantly.

However, Yang Xuan's mind was incomparably strong at this moment. He led a powerful army formed by spirit qi and resisted to the death.

After an unknown period of time.

The five golden dragons finally roared in unison, and then with a loud bang, they exploded in an instant, turning into a huge golden net that wrapped Yang Xuan's mind and the huge cyclones.

Ecstasy surged in his heart. Yang Xuan knew that he had succeeded again. He had taken another step forward on this unprecedented cultivation path.

At this moment, his will was incomparably firm, and his confidence was incomparably strong. He firmly believed that on this path, he would keep moving forward until he reached the peak.

Like the beginning of the world, the giant golden cocoon exploded with a bang, turning into specks of golden light again and drifting in the void, dormant and waiting for the next opportunity.

In the center of Yang Xuan's Dantian, the five cyclones were arranged neatly in the shape of plum blossoms, rotating slowly. A large amount of spirit qi from the outside world poured into the cyclones, and the speed was more than twice as fast as before.

Yang Xuan was surprised to find that the changes in his Dantian this time were not just the cyclones. In the center of the five cyclones arranged in the shape of plum blossoms, Yang Xuan's light of mind was left there, and it became the center of the entire Dantian.

This light of mind resonated with Yang Xuan's mind from afar, and an inexplicable feeling surged in his heart.

His entire Dantian also underwent a huge change. In the vast void, there were no longer only specks of golden light that could turn into golden lightning. Instead, there was a lot of wandering spirit qi. These spirit qi were like waves, and from time to time, there would be waves. It was very mysterious.

Qi Refining Level Five, success.

Chapter 15

Yang Xuan opened his eyes. As far as his eyes could see, it was as if a bolt of lightning had formed, illuminating the dark room.

Lightning in the room! Yang Xuan's eyes had reached the realm of lightning in the room.

Yang Xuan's heart was filled with joy.

Before tonight, he would never have thought that he would gain so much, breaking through to Qi Refining Stage Five in one night.

At this moment, he felt that his body was filled with an enormous amount of energy.

Especially the light in the center of the cyclone. It was connected to Yang Xuan's mind, allowing Yang Xuan to use spiritual energy more easily.

"Phew!"

Yang Xuan let out a long breath. His eyes were filled with power. For a moment, it was as if a huge aura had risen, making him a high and mighty god, looking down on the world.

…

Yang Zhenxi and Yang Hanwu hurried to the Clan Leader, Yang Qingshan.

"Clan Leader, this is what happened!"

Yang Zhenxi finished narrating the entire incident and looked at Yang Qingshan, waiting for him to make a decision.

Yang Qingshan looked at the stone bowl in his hand carefully. However, no matter how he looked at it, even when he used his inner energy to probe, it was just an ordinary stone bowl. There was nothing special about it.

"Have you searched the cave carefully?" Yang Qingshan frowned.

Yang Zhenxi said, "We have! Other than this stone bowl, we didn't find anything else! "

Yang Qingshan pondered for a moment and said, "Men, summon all the elders to the Hall of Elders!"

The stone bowl was passed around in everyone's hands. However, everyone was frowning, their faces full of doubt.

They couldn't see anything special about this stone bowl. They discussed for a long time but still couldn't come to a conclusion.

Putting this question aside, Yang Qingshan's second question made some of the elders fall silent.

No one had any objections to restoring Yang Xuan's status as a direct descendant. Other than Yang Hanwu, who looked sullen, everyone else voted in favor of it.

Although Yang Hanwu was unwilling, he could only go with the flow. In the end, he expressed his approval.

However, Yang Hanwu was not in favor of granting a house to Lin Li.

For the direct descendants of the Yang family, as long as they reached the fifth stage of Inner Force, they would be granted a house by the family.

According to Yang Hanwu's test, Yang Xuan had already reached Stage Seven of Internal Force. Such an outstanding disciple should have enjoyed more resources.

However, when Patriarch Yang Qingshan proposed to bestow the Yuexin Garden to Yang Xuan again, he was strongly opposed by Yang Hanwu.

Yuexin Garden used to be the residence of Yang Xuan's father, Yang Qingtian. After Yang Qingtian's death, coupled with the fact that Yang Xuan was born with a crippled body, there was no one in the clan to take care of him. As a result, he and his mother were forced to move out of Yuexin Garden.

However, there was a problem with this, and that was that this garden was currently owned.

The one living in this house was Yang Hanwu's grandson, Yang Gong.

As such, if he returned the house to Yang Xuan, it would be a resounding slap to Yang Hanwu's face. How could Yang Hanwu agree to this?

However, perhaps it was to compensate Yang Xuan, or for some other reason, but Patriarch Yang Qingshan was very insistent. In addition, the other elders also felt that it was only right that the minority should obey the majority. Thus, the matter was settled.

However, in order to save Yang Hanwu's face, Yang Qingshan gave Yang Gong a bigger house. It was a happy ending for everyone.

Although Yang Hanwu was dissatisfied, he couldn't do it alone.

The next morning, Yang Xuan was called to the family's meeting hall.

When Yang Xuan entered the hall, the eight elders, including Patriarch Yang Qingshan, looked at Yang Xuan as if they were looking at a rare animal. This made Yang Xuan's hair stand on end.

"Yang Xuan, I heard that you can already practice martial arts and that you've reached Stage Seven of Internal Force? Is that true? "Yang Qingshan was the first to speak.

Yang Xuan nodded and said, "Yes!"

Yang Qingshan gave Patriarch Yang Zhendong a look and said with a kind expression, "Yang Xuan, it's not that I don't believe you, but this matter is very important. Are you willing to let Patriarch Yang examine you?"

Yang Xuan already knew that this was unavoidable and nodded in agreement. Thus, Yang Zhendong stepped forward and circulated his internal force in Yang Xuan's body. He couldn't help but frown.

Although he had heard Yang Zhenxi say that he couldn't detect any trace of Internal Force in Yang Xuan's body, he knew that Yang Zhenxi was telling the truth after experiencing it himself.

He secretly gave Patriarch Yang Zhendong and the others a look and said to Yang Xuan, "Yang Xuan, you don't have any Internal Force in your body. Tell me why."

Yang Xuan said, "Patriarch, I don't know either!"

Yang Zhendong thought for a moment and said, "Try attacking me with all your strength!"

Yang Xuan looked troubled and said, "Patriarch, this …"

Yang Zhendong said, "It's okay. Just attack me with all your strength. If you can hurt me, then you're capable!"

Yang Xuan had five cyclones in his body, which was equivalent to the peak of Level Eight Internal Force. However, Patriarch Yang Zhendong was at Level Ten Internal Force, just like Patriarch Yang Zhendong!

If Yang Xuan used the Golden Moon Slash, Patriarch Yang Zhendong might be injured if he was caught off guard.

Of course, Yang Xuan couldn't do that at this time. Thus, he only mobilized 70% of his spiritual energy and threw a punch at Yang Zhendong.

With this punch, a whirlwind suddenly blew in the hall.

Yang Zhendong was not careless. He suddenly stretched out his palm and mobilized his Internal Force at the same time, colliding with Yang Xuan's fist.

"Bang!"

The fist and palm collided, and the energy overflowed. Everyone's face changed.

A huge wave of Qi rolled out and spread in all directions. Seeing that it was about to affect everything in the hall, Yang Qingshan waved his hand and the overflowing energy suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Yang Zhendong's face was filled with a shocked expression.

Yang Xuan took a large step back, wobbling for a moment before he managed to stabilize his body.

However, at this time, Yang Xuan's heart was filled with shock.

Level Ten Internal Force was not something an ordinary martial artist could compare with.

Yang Zhendong's eyes flashed. He looked at Yang Xuan for a long time, his old eyes shining. After a while, he said to Yang Qingshan and the other Patriarchs, "You really are at Level Seven Internal Force!"

Everyone in the hall, including Yang Qingshan, looked at Yang Xuan with burning eyes. They looked at him as if he was a piece of meat that made people drool.

Although Level Seven Internal Force was nothing to them, when they thought about it, Yang Xuan only took less than a month to reach Level Seven Internal Force.

This kind of cultivation speed could be said to be rarely seen in a hundred years.

For a moment, everyone thought of the nameless liquid that Yang Xuan drank. They were filled with regret. Why did Yang Xuan have to encounter such a good thing?

After sorting out his emotions, Yang Qingshan said, "Yang Xuan, since you are already at Level Seven Internal Force, I will restore your status as a direct descendant of the Yang Family. Your benefits will be the same as those of a direct descendant! This is your direct descendant's token. Take it! "

He waved his hand and someone brought a bronze token on a wooden tray.

Yang Xuan silently took the token. His face was expressionless.

Yang Qingshan continued, "According to the rules of the family, direct descendant disciples with Level Six Internal Force and above can use the token to enter the family's library at any time to read books! There are all kinds of martial arts stored in the library. You can choose to practice any of them. "

Yang Xuan's heart skipped a beat. The family's library was rich in books. Perhaps it would be of help to him on the path of cultivation.

As for the various Martial Skills, they might be extremely attractive to other disciples, but to Yang Xuan, they were not worth a single cent.

Yang Qingshan paused and glanced at Yang Hanwu. At this moment, Yang Hanwu was looking down, as if he had fallen asleep.

He looked away and said to Yang Xuan, "According to the rules of the family, any direct descendant disciple with Level Five Internal Force and above can get a house. I have discussed with the elders and we have decided to give you Yuexin Garden! Are you satisfied? "

Yang Xuan was stunned. To be honest, he had expected to be given a token after his status was restored. He had also heard about being given a house.

If it was any other house, he would not be surprised. But this Yuexin Garden … Yang Xuan clearly remembered that the current owner of Yuexin Garden was Yang Hanwu's grandson, Yang Gong. Would Yang Hanwu agree?

Thinking of this, he could not help but look at Yang Hanwu. He found that Yang Hanwu seemed to be asleep and did not say anything. He did not know what was going on!

However, Yuexin Garden originally belonged to him and his mother. Even if the patriarch did not say anything, he would ask for it. He just did not expect the patriarch to give it back to him directly.

Then, Yang Qingshan and the elders asked about the nameless liquid in detail. Yang Xuan was already prepared. He answered them one by one without any flaws.

Everyone sighed after listening. It seemed that the nameless liquid in the stone bowl was an unknown treasure. They did not know if it was formed naturally or placed there by someone.

However, no matter what the reason was, the elixir had already been swallowed by Yang Xuan. He could not spit it out even if he wanted to. As for the fact that Yang Xuan's Internal Force could not be detected, it must be the effect of the elixir.

For a moment, everyone could not help but sigh at Yang Xuan's good luck.

However, there was one more cultivation genius in the family. To everyone except Yang Hanwu, it was a great joy.

In the end, the Great Elder Yang Zhendong proposed to put the stone bowl back to its original place and designate the area around the cave as a restricted area. They would also send people to guard it to see if it could produce any more elixirs, even if it was just a drop!

This proposal was supported by everyone. They all thought of this possibility: If the elixir was naturally produced, it might produce more.

Only Yang Xuan laughed in his heart. Even if the stone bowl was placed there for a hundred or a thousand years, it would not produce any elixirs.

However, he would not say these words out loud.

Coming out of the meeting hall, Yang Xuan remembered that his mother was still in the dark about this series of events.

He could not help but feel a headache. He did not know how to explain it to his mother.

Chapter 16

What Yang Xuan didn't know was that when he regained his status as a direct descendant and received the news of Yuexin Garden, a well-informed servant had already informed Qian Shi about it.

The servant's face was full of congratulations, and his fawning attitude was obvious.

From now on, Yang Xuan's mother would no longer be a servant like them, but a noble madam. As the saying goes, a mother's status depends on her son.

However, contrary to the expectations of the messenger, when Qian shi received the news, she did not reveal any joy. Instead, she turned around and walked into her room, closing the door with a bang. Only the people in the courtyard were left staring at each other in dismay.

Qian Shi, who had returned to her room, stood silently in front of Yang Xuan's father, Yang Qingtian's memorial tablet.

After a while, she leaned forward and gently stroked Yang Qingtian's memorial tablet. Her eyes started to turn red, and she showed a gentle and nostalgic expression.

After a long while, she murmured, "Qingtian, do you know? Our child can practice martial arts, and your family has also returned your house to us! I should be happy, but … "

A teardrop rolled in her eyes and finally fell, smashing heavily onto the spirit tablet.

"But, Qingtian, I'm scared! Do you know? I'm very scared! I'm scared that Xuan 'er will be like you, and leave one day, and never … never come back! "

The memorial tablet was silent, as if it was silently listening.

Tears flowed down Qian Shi's face like pearls from a broken necklace. The more she cried, the sadder she became, as if she wanted to cry out all the grievances she had suffered all these years!

"Qingtian, tell me, what should I do? What should I do? Xuan 'er has already grown up, and has become promising, but I'm really scared, scared that he will embark on the same path as you, scared that he will leave one day, and come back with a cold corpse … "

Qian Shi touched Yang Qingtian's memorial tablet in a daze, and her tear-filled eyes revealed endless worry and gentleness.

… …

A shocking news exploded in the Yang family.

— — Yang Xuan cultivated to the seventh level of inner force, regained his status as a direct descendant, and was given Yuexin Garden.

Once this news spread, it was like a heavy bomb, causing a huge commotion in the Yang family. For a moment, everyone was talking about it.

"Did you hear? Yuexin Garden is going to change owners. "

"Of course I heard. I also know that the one staying in Yuexin Garden is Twelfth Young Master."

"Ah? That useless young master? "

"Shut up, do you want to die? Twelfth Young Master is now at the seventh level of inner force, and killing you and me is as easy as squashing an ant! "

"Ah, it was a slip of the tongue! Isn't Twelfth Young master unable to practice martial arts? Why is he at the seventh level of inner force? "

"I don't know. Anyway, it's definitely Level Seven Internal Force."

's' ''s's' ''s,'s, the other young masters's of course, is, he''s, he '''s,'s' '''s, ''s's's's

Yang '''s, '' '''t's.. '''t, ''t''s of Yang '' '' ' Luckily, we didn't have much interaction with Twelfth Young Master before. Those servants and maids who used to laugh at him will have a hard time in the future. For example, Niu Yuan was killed by Twelfth Young Master with one punch. "

"Tsk, tsk, Niu Yuan was looking for death. I heard he was the one who initiated the attack."

"That's right! Let's just wait and see! "

For a moment, everyone was talking about it.

As for those servants who had mocked and bullied Yang Xuan in the past, they were now feeling uneasy and panicked.

At the same time, the news spread among the direct disciples of the family.

"What? That useless young master has reached the seventh level of inner force? "

Yang Jiaqiang slammed the table and roared, "I don't believe it!"

Yang Jiayou said, "It's definitely true. The First Elder tested it himself, so it can't be wrong! "

Yang Jiaqiang was furious, "How did this happen? How did he suddenly reach the seventh level of inner force, one level higher than you and me?"

Yang Jiayou shook his head, his face was full of helplessness, "Who knows? I also heard that the head of the family gave Yuexin Garden to Yang Xuan again. "

Yang Jiaqiang was stunned, "Yuexin Garden? Isn't that Yang Gong's place? "

Yang Jiayou nodded, "Yes, but it was originally Yang Xuan and his mother's house, but it was taken by Yang Gong. Now, it has been returned to its rightful owner."

Yang Jiaqiang rolled his eyes, "Yang Gong's grandfather is the Seventh Elder, so he's willing?"

"I don't know!"

Yang Jiayou said worriedly, "You and I used to bully Yang Xuan. Now that he has turned over a new leaf and his cultivation is higher than yours and mine, do you think he won't take revenge?"

Yang Jiaqiang's face turned ugly. Obviously, he also thought of this and said, "How many days did the head of the family give Yang Gong to move out?"

"Three days!"

Yang Jiaqiang suddenly sneered, "Yang Gong is arrogant and domineering, and he also has a cultivation of the seventh level. How can he be willing to give up the house? I think, there will be some twists and turns, let's wait and see!"

At the same time, in Yuexin Garden, the hall was a mess. Yang Gong had already smashed a lot of things, but he was still angry.

"You want me to give Yuexin Garden to that trash, don't even think about it!"

As he spoke, he angrily smashed an expensive vase into pieces.

"Who said it wasn't? Young master, this Yang Xuan is just a trash. I don't know what kind of luck he had, but he actually cultivated to the seventh level. How can he be compared to you? The head of the family gave Yuexin Garden to Yang Xuan, really … tsk tsk! "

Yang Gong's lackey Sun Ming flattered.

Yang Gong was still angry, "What did grandfather say?"

Sun Ming's face showed a trace of embarrassment, "The Seventh Elder said …"

Yang Gong said angrily, "Spit it out!"

"Yes, yes, yes, the Seventh Elder said to let you move out of Yuexin Garden!" Sun Ming said.

"What? Grandfather really said that? "Yang Gong was in disbelief.

Sun Ming said, "The Seventh Elder's verbal order is indeed so!"

Yang Gong said angrily, "How can grandfather not speak for me, doesn't he know that I am his grandson?"

"Ping ping pang pang!" The sound of things being smashed came from the hall again.

"The Seventh Elder has arrived!" The guard outside the door suddenly shouted.

Then, Yang Hanwu walked in with a gloomy face.

"Grandfather!" Yang Gong couldn't help but call out.

Yang Hanwu said to Sun Ming with a gloomy face, "You leave first!"

Sun Ming hurriedly bowed and retreated.

"Grandfather! I … "

Yang Gong saw Yang Hanwu's gloomy face and felt his hair stand on end. He couldn't say what he wanted to say.

Yang Hanwu said angrily, "Look at you, what do you look like? Ah? My face is lost because of you! "

Yang Gong said submissively, "But, grandfather, what virtue and ability does that Yang Xuan have to make me move out of this house?"

Yang Hanwu said, "Hmph, although I made you move out of here, I gave you a bigger house, what else do you want?"

Yang Gong said, "But I just can't take this lying down. Grandfather, think about it, I am living well here, but now I am forced to move out, how can I raise my head in front of my brothers and sisters at home?"

Yang Hanwu's face cleared up, said, "You said I don't want to help you, but this is the decision of the patriarch and the other elders, how can I speak alone?"

Yang Gong said, "But, if I move out of here, it won't just be me who loses face!"

Yang Hanwu said angrily, "You think I don't know? But this matter is already a foregone conclusion, what can I do? "

Yang Gong's face suddenly turned ruthless, said hatefully, "If I defeat Yang Xuan in front of everyone, let's see if he has the face to accept Yuexin Garden."

Yang Hanwu warned, "Chen-er, I warn you, don't have this kind of idea. That Yang Xuan may have only cultivated for a short time, but his cultivation method is strange, you are not his opponent, don't humiliate yourself."

Yang Gong said, "Grandfather, how can you boost other people's morale and diminish your own. I don't believe that he, a trash who has only cultivated for a few months, can be my opponent. Grandfather, don't worry, I will definitely beat him until his teeth fall out! "

Yang Hanwu saw that Yang Gong didn't listen to his advice and no longer explained, only angrily warned, "I warn you, get rid of this idea as soon as possible! If you dare to make a move without permission, I will ground you for a year! "

Yang Gong saw that his grandfather was angry, he didn't dare to say anything, bowed his head, but a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

Yang Hanwu didn't notice this trace of ruthlessness, and left after a few more words of comfort.

After Yang Hanwu left, Yang Gong's face was fierce, gnashing his teeth: "Yang Xuan, just you wait, I will definitely make you lose face in front of everyone!"

… …

The news of Yang Xuan regaining his status as a direct disciple spread like wildfire, causing a huge wave in the Yang family.

As for Yang Xuan, the person involved, he still acted as if nothing had happened, doing what he was supposed to do.

However, all the servants became respectful when they saw Yang Xuan, their eyes faintly flashing with fear.

Some of the servants who used to ridicule Yang Xuan actually knelt on the ground when they saw Yang Xuan walk by, trembling all over, begging for mercy.

Yang Xuan saw this, laughed loudly, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart at the benefits of strength.

If today he was still the trash who couldn't cultivate, who would fear and respect him?

At this moment, Yang Xuan's desire to become strong was incomparably firm.

He deeply felt that only with strength, only with great strength, could he gain the respect and fear of others in exchange for one's strength.

However, when Yang Xuan told this news to his mother, he expected to see his mother's expression of shock and then surprise.

However, what Yang Xuan didn't expect was that his mother only smiled at Yang Xuan, replied that she understood, and didn't say anything else.

Even after careful observation, Yang Xuan actually found a trace of sadness and worry in his mother's eyes. Moreover, the attentive Yang Xuan found that his mother slept very late at night. Yang Xuan sneaked a peek and found that his mother was hugging his father's memorial tablet, quietly wiping her tears.

Seeing this scene, Yang Xuan's excitement for the past few days was finally diluted, and he became calm again.

Chapter 17

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Early in the morning, Yang Xuan and his mother got up to pack up their things.

In fact, there was not much to pack. It was just a few pieces of clothing and some other things that could not be thrown away.

After moving to Yuexin Garden, the family would naturally provide them with daily necessities and servants. This was also the treatment that a direct descendant should receive.

After packing up, Yang Xuan and his mother walked towards Yuexin Garden.

Behind them, Wang Wu was in high spirits. He shouted at the servants, picked up the few things that were left and followed behind.

Along the way, Qian Shi's mood was complicated. Looking at the road that was becoming more and more familiar, she did not know what to feel.

On the other hand, Yang Xuan was calm and unperturbed.

After turning a corner, they finally arrived at Yuexin Garden.

Looking at the familiar door and the familiar scenery, Qian Shi's eyes were filled with tears. This place carried too many memories. After so many years, she did not expect to have the opportunity to return here.

Wang Wu went up and banged on the door, shouting, "Open the door, open the door, the twelfth young master is here, why are you not opening the door to welcome him?"

The banging on the door spread far and wide.

However, the door seemed to be rusted and did not move. In the courtyard that was separated by a door, there was no sound at all.

Yang Xuan's brows furrowed slightly. Logically speaking, the servants assigned to her by the clan should have already been waiting here to welcome her. However, at this moment, not only was there no one to welcome her, she did not even answer the door when she called.

Wang Wu banged on the door again for a long time. Just when Yang Xuan was about to lose his patience, a voice finally came.

"Is that the dog barking outside the door?"

A cold sneer rose from the corners of Yang Xuan's mouth. He was all too familiar with this voice.

A few people walked out of the door. The one leading was Yang Hanwu's grandson, Yang Gong.

Wang Wu was stunned. He glanced at Yang Xuan and gritted his teeth, "Young master Gong, young master Xuan is here to take over Yuexin Garden. Please leave."

Yang Gong snorted and said disdainfully, "Who do you think you are to bark here? Get lost."

Wang Wuyi choked. A trace of anger flashed in his eyes, but he suppressed it.

Yang Gong sneered and asked, "Ha, isn't this the twelfth young master, Yang Xuan? What are you doing here so early in the morning with a dog? "

Not far away, figures flickered. It was unknown how many pairs of eyes were looking at this place.

Yang Xuan coldly looked at Yang Gong: "Take your people and get out of here!"

Yang Gong's eyes burned with anger: "What did you say?"

Yang Xuan didn't say anything. His eyes were cold as he looked at Yang Gong.

Yang Gong was so angry that he laughed. "Good, good, good, good. Yang Xuan, you've become so successful that you don't even put me in your eyes. Since that's the case, let me see what ability you have to take over Yuexin Garden."

With these words, his body abruptly sank as he shot towards Yang Xuan like an arrow, his right leg whistling through the air as it swept towards Yang Xuan.

Qian Shi and some of the servants who came with Yang Xuan didn't expect Yang Gong to attack directly. They were stunned for a moment.

After all, Yang Gong's cultivation was at the seventh level of Internal Force. This kick was powerful and heavy. It actually covered the space in front of him.

"You're courting death!"

Yang Xuan's eyes flashed with killing intent. The spiritual energy in his body surged. His body was as still as a mountain. His right hand shot out like lightning and gently pressed on Yang Gong's right leg.

The next moment, Yang Gong let out a loud scream. A mouthful of blood sprayed into the sky. His whole body flew up involuntarily. With a bang, he broke through the gate of Yuexin Garden and fell into the courtyard.

Everyone was stunned.

Several people who were secretly observing the situation gasped in shock.

Yang Jiaqiang and Yang Jiayou, who were hiding on the side, were stunned. Their mouths were wide open. For a moment, they seemed to have lost the ability to think.

They never thought that Yang Gong, who was at the seventh level of Internal Force, would be so weak in front of Yang Xuan. He was actually sent flying with a single palm.

All of a sudden, something called fear slowly crept into their hearts. As they stared at the casually standing Yang Xuan, their eyes were filled with fear.

The servants who followed Yang Gong were also stunned. They even forgot to move. They stood there in a daze and stared blankly at Yang Xuan. It seemed that they still hadn't recovered from the scene just now.

Qian Shi was stunned for a moment. Although she didn't know how good Yang Xuan's martial arts were, she saw that Yang Xuan only used one move to send Yang Gong flying.

For a moment, she thought of her husband, Yang Qingtian. Her heart was inexplicably complicated.

Among the people present, the only one who was wild with joy was Wang Wu.

He had long been loyal to Yang Xuan. The stronger Yang Xuan was, the higher his status would be.

However, in addition to being happy, he was also shocked. Unknowingly, Yang Xuan had reached such a level. A master of the seventh level of Internal Force was sent flying by Yang Xuan with just one move. He couldn't help but be grateful for his choice.

Yang Gong screamed, "My leg, my leg!"

His right leg was limp and drooping on the ground. He had lost all feeling. Blood flowed down his trousers. Not long after, a pool of blood formed under his body.

Yang Xuan's press wasn't simple. In just one press, spiritual energy surged and instantly destroyed the meridians in Yang Gong's right leg. If it wasn't treated in time, Yang Gong's leg would be crippled.

Yang Xuan walked over step by step. The murderous intent in his eyes didn't diminish. He came to the front of Yang Gong who was screaming.

Yang Gong endured the pain and gritted his teeth, "My leg, you bastard, you bastard, I want you to die, I want you to die …"

A cold smile appeared on Yang Xuan's face. He suddenly bent down and grabbed Yang Gong's neck. He lifted Yang Gong up with one hand.

Before Yang Gong could react, he whispered in his ear, "You want me to die? Then go to hell! "

His voice was incomparably cold, as if it was ten thousand years old ice.

Looking at those emotionless eyes of Yang Xuan, a huge sense of fear suddenly engulfed Yang Gong. He was only a youth of about 10 years of age. He was used to playing around and fighting, but when had he ever seen such a scene before?

At this moment, he suddenly realized that Yang Xuan would really kill him. With this thought, Yang Gong was finally afraid.

"No … no, no, you can't kill me. My grandfather is an elder. You can't kill me!"

Yang Gong trembled. He felt Yang Xuan's hand gradually increase in strength. His breathing became difficult. The feeling of suffocation began to hit his brain like a tide.

"So what if I kill you?"

Yang Xuan looked at him without any emotion. The murderous intent in his eyes was not concealed.

Yang Gong finally collapsed.

"Don't, no, no, don't kill me, don't kill me …" Yang Gong was inexplicably frightened. He cried out involuntarily, even ignoring the pain in his body.

Yang Xuan's hand continued to increase in strength. His eyes became more and more ruthless.

Yang Gong felt that it was more and more difficult to breathe. He struggled with all his might, but Yang Xuan's hand was like steel. It didn't move an inch.

Yang Gong used all his strength to cry out, "I beg you … I beg you … I was wrong. Don't … don't … kill …"

At this moment, something called regret filled his heart. If he was given another chance to choose, he would never go against Yang Xuan again.

The two brothers, Yang Jiayou and Yang Jiaqiang, were trembling from head to toe as a huge wave of fear enveloped them. Seeing Yang Gong, who was at the seventh stage of the Inner Strength Stage, helplessly waiting for death in Yang Xuan's hands, their fear of Yang Xuan was infinitely magnified.

As Yang Xuan's hand increased in strength, Yang Gong was already breathing more than he was inhaling. His hands and feet slowly stopped struggling. Death was so close to him that even his eyes began to slacken.

"Do you still dare to go against me?" Yang Xuan said coldly.

Yang Gong seemed to have heard the most beautiful voice in the world, "No … no … I don't dare, I don't dare anymore."

Yang Xuan's right hand loosened. With a plop, Yang Gong fell to the ground like a dead fish.

After circling around the gates of hell, Yang Gong's face was ashen. He took in large mouthfuls of air that he usually disdained. For the first time, he felt that life was so beautiful.

A trace of a smile crept up Yang Xuan's mouth. He knew that Yang Gong had completely lost the qualifications to go against him. This feeling of stepping on the enemy's body and soul made him feel infinitely wonderful.

He realized that he seemed to like this feeling.

The few servants that Yang Gong brought with him were incomparably terrified. They hurriedly carried Yang Gong away for treatment.

Yang Xuan looked at the respectful and even fearful eyes of the servants. He smiled and turned his head to look around.

The people hiding in the dark felt their hearts skip a beat. They knew that things were not going well and quickly retreated.

The two brothers, Yang Jiaqiang and Yang Jiayou, had already escaped
