“At my engagement banquet with Su Qianyu, Fang Han crippled my cultivation. My father and uncle were both high-level Martial Grandmasters, and my grandfather was an expert in the early stage of Foundation Establishment. Even so, they all died at the hands of the Fang family. And in my opinion, it is very likely that Fang Han was the one who poisoned them.”

His voice trembled slightly, and the hatred in his heart surged like a raging tide.

“This Fang Han is no ordinary person. He must have had an extraordinary encounter. Moreover, if Su Aiai really is a Nine-Colored Demon Body, she may have already been refined and absorbed by Fang Han. It is precisely because of this that this kid is able to defeat your ancestor.”

Elder Xue Lian closed her eyes and pondered for a long time before slowly opening her mouth to analyze.

"Your ancestor has probably really met with misfortune. From now on, you will stay by my side and become my last disciple." Elder Xue Lian's tone was tinged with pity, and her gaze towards Wu Lei became more affectionate.

"Thank you, Master!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Lei immediately knelt down before Elder Xue Lian with a thud and kowtowed several times.

“Your ancestor really doted on you; he even gave you that demon’s dantian.”

Elder Xue Lian sighed softly, raised her hand and made a gesture. An invisible force, like a gentle spring breeze, instantly lifted Wu Lei up steadily.

"Yes, Master."

Wu Lei replied respectfully that he had not concealed anything about the matter and had told him the truth.

"My junior brother has spent decades of painstaking research and finally succeeded in fusing the bloodline of the demons with our human bloodline. But you must understand that this is a forbidden technique that is considered extremely rebellious by other sects and the mortal world. Therefore, you must never let anyone know that you have been fitted with a demon's dantian."

Elder Xue Lian's expression turned extremely serious. Her gaze was fixed on Wu Lei as she solemnly instructed, "Currently, besides your mother Xiao Yu and Xue Feihu, only your master and the sect leader know about this matter."

"Disciple understands!"

Wu Lei nodded quickly, his expression firm, fully aware of the seriousness of the matter and daring not to slack off in the slightest.

"Please wait here patiently. This matter is of great importance. I need to personally meet with the sect leader to make a decision."

Elder Xue Lian looked at Wu Lei with a solemn expression and slowly spoke.

Then, Elder Xue Lian gently flicked her sleeve, her spiritual energy rippled slightly, and her figure vanished from the cave like a wisp of smoke.

Wu Lei could only wait anxiously in the somewhat empty cave.

He paced back and forth in the cave, glancing at the entrance from time to time, his heart filled with trepidation and unease.

Time seemed to slow down, each minute and second feeling like torture.

After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, a gentle fluctuation of spiritual energy suddenly emanated from the cave entrance.

Then Elder Xue Lian's familiar figure reappeared, her steps slightly hurried, her expression still somewhat solemn.

"Master, what did the Sect Leader say?"

Seeing this, Wu Lei hurried forward and asked anxiously.

"The sect leader said that your ancestor Wu Qiang has indeed died and disappeared."

Elder Xue Lian sighed softly, her voice filled with regret and helplessness.

A hint of pity flickered in her eyes as she looked at Wu Lei and slowly said, "Moreover, the sect leader also made it clear that this is, after all, something that happened in a small place like Yanming City. Ultimately, the Wu family's revenge will have to be taken by the Wu family members themselves. As a powerful sect, the Qingxuan Sect's higher-ups cannot personally intervene just to stand up for the Wu family. Such an action would likely damage the Qingxuan Sect's reputation."

Upon hearing these words, Wu Lei felt a sudden weight lift from his heart, as if a huge boulder had pressed down on him.

His eyes dimmed instantly, his facial muscles twitched slightly, and his anger and resentment surged like a tidal wave.

"Wu Lei, don't be anxious."

Seeing this, Elder Xue Lian quickly comforted him, "You have fused with the demon's dantian, which is unprecedented in the Qingxuan Sect. The sect will definitely nurture you with great effort, and I will also assist you with precious pills to help you improve your cultivation until you reach the Divine Sense Realm. At the end of the year, you can return to Yanming City to participate in the Dragon and Phoenix Assembly. Given Fang Han's personality, he will definitely participate as well. If you can kill him at the assembly, you will not only avenge your blood feud but also enhance the prestige of our Qingxuan Sect."

"Yes, Master! I will definitely win the championship at the Dragon and Phoenix Tournament! After I kill Fang Han, I will surely annihilate the Fang family!"

Wu Lei clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with a resolute killing intent, and the killing aura emanating from his body seemed to materialize, surging violently.

At this moment, the flames of revenge burned fiercely in his heart, as if he wanted to burn all obstacles to ashes.

...

In the days that followed, Wu Lei stayed on Snow Lotus Peak to cultivate.

Xiao Yu and Xue Feihu also became outer disciples of the Qingxuan Sect.

Half a month later, Lin Yin Pavilion suddenly attracted the attention of almost everyone in Yanming City.

Because Lin Xunhuan actually built a new nine-story Divine Weapon Pavilion next to the Lin Yin Pavilion, which specializes in selling weapons.

Of course, these weapons were mostly made by the Fang family's weapon-refining pavilion, especially some of the high-grade spiritual weapons, which were made by Fang Han.

The Divine Weapon Pavilion was actually just a sales agent for the Fang family's weapons.

However, the only people who knew about this situation, besides the Fang family, were the people from the Lin Yin Pavilion, the Divine Weapon Pavilion, and the Ye family of the City Lord's Mansion.

As for ordinary weapons and low-grade and mid-grade magical artifacts, they were originally made in the Wu family's weapon-refining workshop and are also sold in the Divine Weapon Pavilion.
