Yun Che and Qianye Ying'er stayed in the Tiangang Cloud Clan, spending half of their time practicing and the other half wandering around the clan, silently observing everything here.
The land of ancestors... For him who had lost all his family ties, he could not completely ignore this place.
Previously, Yun Shang was always depressed because she was immersed in the pain of losing her father. This time, she returned to the clan, perhaps because she was blessed by heaven, or because she got rid of the shadow, she became much happier, and her face always had a smile that could melt the heart... Especially when she ran to find Yun Che every day.
The news that she was about to be appointed as the young patriarch had spread among the clan. In the haze of the approaching deadline, this matter and the miraculous changes in Yun Chang were particularly exciting.
On the third day after returning, a voice arrived as expected outside the Thunder Region.
"Sin Cloud Clan, today is your last chance!" This was an arrogant voice with heavy pressure: "Hand over the 'Saint Cloud Ancient Pill' obediently, and I promise to send that little girl back unharmed within three days. Otherwise... she will end up like the previous few people!"
Half of the people who secretly left the Sin Domain that day to take Yun Shang away were captured by Jiuyao Heavenly Palace, who threatened their lives... However, the Holy Cloud Ancient Pill was too important to the Tiangang Yun Clan, so they could not hand it over. They could only watch with tears in their eyes as the captured clansmen were slaughtered.
In the Thousand Wastelands Realm, anyone from the Yun clan who walked out of the Sin Domain without the permission of the Thousand Wastelands Divine Religion could be legitimately killed... In this situation where the other party was clearly being despicable and cruel, they did not even have the qualifications to blame or denounce them.
Perhaps they had forced the captured members of the Yun clan to reveal some things about Yun Chang, and the Jiuyao Palace used this as a threat... and also hit the weak spot of the Tiangang Yun clan.
Just as Yun Xiang and Yun Lu said before, if Yun Shang had not returned safely, they would have really handed over the Holy Cloud Ancient Pill.
"Finally they're here." This time, facing the Jiuyao Heavenly Palace coming to their doorstep, the Tiangang Yun Clan was no longer nervous.
“It’s Cang Jian.” Clan leader Yun Ting looked up at the sky with a grim expression. “It’s him this time. I heard that he lost the sword that guards the palace and the most outstanding disciple of this generation of Jiuyao Tiangong some time ago. It seems that he is eager to make meritorious deeds to atone for his sins.”
"Yun Jian, Yun Fu, Yun Hua." Yun Ting shouted, "Go meet him."
"Yes." The three Yun clan elders' bodies were filled with mysterious energy, and their arms were shining with mysterious energy.
"Let me do it." Yun Xiang took a step forward, his eyes like a hungry eagle: "I am enough to deal with a mere Cang Jian! I have been bullied to this extent by them for the sake of Ji Shang'er's safety, it's time to get some back!"
After saying this, without waiting for Yun Ting to respond, he had already soared into the air, passed through the thunder area, and faced a person in the air from a distance.
"An eighth-level God Lord should be a big shot in this Thousand Wasteland World. Cang Jian? Sounds a little familiar." Qianye Ying'er glanced to the south.
“The Palace Master of the Hidden Sword Palace of the Jiuyao Heavenly Palace, Beihanchu’s master.” Yun Che said.
"It's really fate." Qianye Ying'er sneered coldly, then closed her eyes and leaned forward, ignoring the noise outside.
The one who came to Jiuyao Heavenly Palace was none other than Cangjian Venerable. During this period of time, he had experienced many ups and downs in his life. His disciple Beihanchu became a Divine Lord at the age of less than ten generations, and was honored on the Northern Territory Divine Lord Ranking. What an honor! But he died before his month was up!
He died in a small middle star realm, and no trace of his body was left!
He rushed over desperately, but met a man who almost frightened him to death... He could only swallow Beihan Chu's death, and the entire Jiuyao Palace had to swallow it honestly. Not to mention being angry and pursuing the matter, they didn't even dare to say a word.
The Chief Palace Master's anger will undoubtedly be vented on him.
If we can successfully obtain the Holy Cloud Ancient Pill today, we can also appease the Chief Palace Master's anger a little.
“So it’s the young clan leader.” Facing Yun Xiang, Venerable Cang Jian put his hands behind his back and smiled faintly: “I have confirmed that the little girl named Yun Shang has a purple magic aura that has never appeared in your Zuiyun clan. This is a miracle for the entire clan. It is a good deal to exchange her for a mere Saint Cloud Ancient Pill.”
Yun Xiang silently made a gesture with his left hand and said with a faint smile: "Shang'er's life is in danger. Not to mention one ancient pill, even hundreds or thousands of them are not worth it."
Venerable Hidden Sword smiled even more: "So, Young Clan Leader has figured it out?"
“Yes.” Yun Xiang stretched out his arm, lightning flashing in his palm: “This is the Holy Cloud Ancient Pill, you of Jiuyao Heavenly Palace must keep your promise!”
"Hahahaha, of course." Venerable Cangjian laughed, turned his eyes away, and then his face changed suddenly.
Snap!!
The lightning exploded and turned into the Heavenly Dragon Thunder God Spear in Yun Xiang's hand, sweeping up thousands of feet of black air and tens of thousands of purple lightning bolts and attacking the Cang Jian Master directly.
"You!" Venerable Cangjian made a hasty move, and the power of the two eighth-level gods collided in the air, spreading out an extremely large disaster area.
"Shang'er has returned to the clan safely. Your Jiuyao Tiangong is at least a 300,000-year-old clan, yet you actually did such a despicable and shameless thing... Do you really think that my Tiangang Yun clan is easy to bully!"
Yun Xiang roared to the sky, and amidst the thunder, his left arm suddenly flashed with blue light, and the blue profound energy transformed into a huge thunder dragon, which blasted down.
Both Venerable Cang Jian and Yun Xiang were eighth-level Divine Lords, but in terms of profound strength, Venerable Cang Jian was far superior to Yun Xiang… However, the "Tian Gang Divine Power" unique to the Tian Gang Yun Clan was enough to make them invincible in a battle of the same level, and the blue "Tian Gang" that could add six points of their own strength could easily create a crushing momentum.
Boom!
Amidst a loud noise like the sky exploding, Yun Xiang, who was slightly weaker in strength, defeated the Nine Yao Sword Formation of Cang Jian Zun with the help of Tian Gang's divine power and knocked him back dozens of miles in the air.
This was the first time that Cang Jian Zun fought Yun Xiang. He never dreamed that he, who was so powerful in the Thousand Wasteland Realm, would be suppressed so easily by the younger generation of the Zuiyun Clan. He roared, "Zuiyun boy! Your Zuiyun Clan is about to die! My Jiuyao Heavenly Palace has been on good terms with the Thousand Wasteland Divine Sect for generations. If you hand over the Holy Cloud Ancient Pill, my Jiuyao Heavenly Palace can even persuade the Thousand Wasteland Divine Sect with kind words. If you are stubborn and refuse to change your ways...your entire clan will die without a burial place!"
Yun Xiang's face suddenly turned ferocious, and the Tianlong Thunder God Spear let out an angry dragon roar. Behind him, the power of the Thunder Realm was also affected. Combined with the Tiangang divine power, the three forces pressed down on Master Cangjian.
“Wow!!”
In the distant sky, a scream flashed by for a moment, and in the sky full of thunderclouds, Venerable Cangjian fled in a panic and soon disappeared into the dim sky.
Suddenly, the Tiangang Cloud Clan heard earth-shaking shouts. After enduring too much darkness and depression for too long, this time they finally had a chance to vent their hatred.
Yun Xiang fell from the sky, with lightning still on his body, and his hair flying in the flashing lightning, like a god descending from heaven, majestic and awe-inspiring. Young men and women from the Yun family came quickly, surrounded him, raised their arms and cheered, and looked at him with eyes full of stars.
"Hehehe." Yun Ting nodded slowly, stroking his beard and smiling.
Yun Xiang just turned five thousand this year, but he is already an eighth-level God. He is also the current young patriarch and guardian god of the Yun family. His talent is even better than his back then... In the future, he may become a God Lord.
He and all the elders of the Cloud Clan have secretly made up their minds that no matter what the outcome of the Tiangang Cloud Clan is after one month... they will do everything they can to protect Yunxiang and Yunshang.
"Is that the 'Xuan Gang' you mentioned? It's so powerful?" Qianye Ying'er's eyes flashed with a strange light: "Why have I never seen you use it?"
“It cannot be interfered with by the power of the Heretic God.” Yun Che said: “So it is useless to me.”
"I see." Qianye Ying'er didn't doubt it, because he had never used this kind of power when he was beaten to the point of death by Luo Changsheng during the Conferred Gods Battle. But immediately, her eyes flashed, and she asked again: "The 'Illusionary God Technique' you used during the Conferred Gods Battle, could it be that you used the Xuan Gang?"
Yun Che frowned and said, “Women who are too smart are really annoying.”
………
Yun Xiang defeated Venerable Cang Jian and at the same time, he got rid of his anger and greatly boosted the morale of the Tian Gang Yun Clan. Next, the Tian Gang Yun Clan began to prepare for the clan ceremony.
Completely becoming the core of the entire clan, Yun Shang was surrounded by people almost every moment. She would go to Yun Che every day and tell him what she had done that day.
"Today, I taught the clan leader the new Tiangang Leiyun Kung Fu. He was very excited. However, he learned very slowly, much slower than I did at the beginning... No, it should be the senior who taught him well. Hehe."
………
"Today, the elders have specially opened the forbidden land of the ancestors that has been sealed for many years. From now on, I will practice there. Every day, there will be many people to guide and assist me in practicing together."
………
"...They said that all the highest-quality resources in the clan will be used on me...Tomorrow, the elder grandfather will refine Feiling Pill and Qiyun Fairy Dew for me. I don't know how long it will take to complete. I may have to come to see the senior later."
………
"Look, this is the Tiangang Treasure Robe, which can only be worn by the clan leader. The clan leader gave it to me in advance... Well, I don't know why, but I'm not very happy. I'm still a little tired today... But I will work harder."
………
Ten days later, the Tiangang Yun Clan held a grand ceremony, and Yun Chang was appointed as the young clan leader. All the Yun Clan members were present, and the glimmer of hope in their eyes and hearts was all focused on her delicate body.
After that, Yun Shang, who was now the young clan leader, still went to see Yun Che every day, but she went later and later, and stayed shorter and shorter... Most of the time, she was called away just after she arrived.
The faint smile on his face became less and less, and more and more forced.
On this day, as night fell… Yun Shang gently pushed the door open and looked at Yun Che. She didn’t say a word, then hurriedly took a few steps forward, fell on top of him with no effort, and closed her eyes.
“What happened?” Yun Che asked.
Yun Shang shook her head in his arms and said softly, "No... I'm just a little tired. But... there are still many things I haven't done... haven't learned..."
“If you’re tired, just take a good rest. There’s no need to push yourself so hard.” Yun Che said.
Yun Chang still shook her head, her voice filled with fatigue that she could finally no longer conceal: "It's me... I'm not motivated enough... The best things in the entire clan were given to me... They said that I am the hope of the entire clan, I... I can't let them down..."
"Shang'er!"
As soon as the shouting ended, the door was pushed open. Yun Xiang walked in hurriedly and saw Yun Shang falling on Yun Che... His brows sank suddenly.
Yun Shang slowly stood up: "Brother Xiang."
Looking at Yun Shang, Yun Xiang smiled: "The 'Tian Gang Yun Ling Formation' prepared for you by the seventeen elders has taken shape, and can refine a more refined thunder body for you. The Grand Elder also took the risk to hunt for three drops of Thunder Dragon Blood for you... Go quickly."
“Yes, I understand.” Yun Shang nodded and gave Yun Che a somewhat reluctant but still sweet smile: “Senior, I have to go to the ancestral temple. See you tomorrow.”
Yun Shang left... But Yun Xiang did not leave. Instead, he stood there, looking directly at Yun Che.
“Do you have anything to say?” Yun Che asked.
“Brother Yun Che,” Yun Xiang smiled and said in a gentle voice, “You two have been guests of my clan for many days. When will you be leaving?”
“Kick the guest out?” Yun Che’s response was simple and cold.
The smile on Yun Xiang's face gradually disappeared, and his voice also became cold: "You two saved Shang'er's life, which is a great favor to my Tiangang Yun Clan. You all see where my Tiangang Yun Clan is now, and you should also know what Shang'er means to my clan."
“So what?” Facing the aura that Yun Xiang had clearly released deliberately, Yun Che’s expression remained unchanged.
"Shang'er is the hope and treasure given by God at the end of our tribe's nightmare that has lasted for thousands of years! She is now our tribe's young leader and the future leader! Her safety and her future are more important to us than anything else in the world. We, the Tiangangyun tribe, will not allow anyone or anything to interfere with her... especially emotionally!"
Yun Che: “…”
"Leave here as soon as possible, the farther the better!"
Hiss!
Thunder flashed on Yun Xiang's fingertips: "Otherwise... even if you saved Shang'er's life, I will not... show mercy!"
Snap!
The lightning struck down, instantly tearing the ground in front of Yun Che apart. The remaining lightning flashed and roared for a long time.
"That's all I have to say!" Yun Xiang turned around and left coldly.
Yun Che did not move at all, and he did not even glance at the lightning that struck his feet.
"Kill him?" Qianye Ying'er asked slowly, casually as if pointing at a flea on the side of the road.
“…” Yun Che did not speak, only his brows began to slowly tighten.
