Chapter 31: Becoming the Patriarch, Uncle Wang? Bei Liyuan's eyes darkened,...
Uncle Wang? Bei Liyuan's eyes darkened. How dare this demon come back?
Beitang Feng looked at Uncle Wang: "Aren't you going to pick up Li Yuan? Why are you in this state?"
Uncle Wang said weakly, "Master, on the way back to the Bei Clan, Bei Liyuan was possessed by a demon. After taking possession of him, the demon wanted to kill me to silence me."
Nangong Liuchu was about to step forward but was stopped by Li Youyang.
Uncle Wang added, "If the Patriarch doesn't believe me, just a quick test will tell you. Bei Liyuan has only been possessed for a short time, so he must have the aura of a demon."
Beitang Feng's eyes darkened, and he lightly moved his fingertips to form a formation that enveloped Beiliyuan. A strong murderous aura suddenly emanated from Beiliyuan's body!
Everyone stood further away:
"I was wondering, how could Bei Liyuan, a disciple of Cheng Yanjun, have reached the Void Refinement Realm in just three years? So this is the reason."
"Thank goodness this servant returned just in time. Otherwise, if the demon had become the head of the Bei family, my immortal family would have been in jeopardy."
Beitang Feng raised his hand and summoned his immortal sword, slashing towards Bei Liyuan. Bei Liyuan's eyes darkened as he was about to strike, but the incoming sword strike was blocked by a hooked sickle. At the same time, a sneer of laughter echoed from the void: "What a pity! We were just one step away from success."
Li Youyang's eyes darkened: "We only capture, not kill."
Zhou Gan curled his lips, raised his hand and set up a formation to trap the demon, then swung his sword and slashed at it, seriously injuring the demon.
Li Youyang and Nangong Liuxing stepped forward. Li Youyang's fingertips lightly drew a formation that went straight into the demon's eyebrows. The past scene immediately appeared in the void:
In the study, Beitang Feng was flipping through a book when a demon suddenly appeared. "Beitang Feng, Bei Liyuan has already reached the Void Refining stage. If he participates in the competition, the position of Young Master of the Bei Family will definitely be his."
Beitang Feng's eyes darkened: "How dare the demons come to my Bei family!"
At this point, Beitang Feng suddenly swung his sword, but Zhou Gan easily deflected it: "Master, why are you so anxious? It won't be too late to kill him after you've seen it."
The demon in the scene curled his lips: "Although I am a demon, I am not your enemy. Back then, you went through so much trouble to eliminate Beitang Jing and obtain the position of head of this family. Are you really willing to hand it over to his son?"
Beitang Feng sneered: "In three years, how can a disciple of that useless Cheng Yanjun reach the Refining Void Realm?"
"Hehe! I knew you wouldn't believe it, but you and I have worked together for many years..."
"Stop talking nonsense! The demons have only life and death for me..."
The demon laughed again, then transformed into the appearance of an uncle. "Do you recognize the head of this family? On my way back, I was ordered to kill Bei Liyuan. During our fight, I discovered that he had already reached the Void Refinement Realm. The demon clan's mission for me is to eliminate cultivators with extraordinary talents. Beitang Jing is one, and so is Bei Liyuan. In eliminating Bei Liyuan, you and I are the same. How about we cooperate? After eliminating Bei Liyuan, I will look for another family and never bother with the Bei family again. How do you think?"
Beitang Feng put down the book in his hand and looked at the demon. The demon continued, "After Bei Liyuan wins first place, I will use my uncle as a puppet to frame him as a demon. You will seize the opportunity to kill him. I will then appear to rescue him and confirm his demon identity. After that, my ability is limited and I will not be able to take him away. You human cultivators will definitely kill this alien."
Beitang Feng curled his lips: "Okay, I'll do as you say."
The demon laughed twice and disappeared into the study.
…
Everyone sighed:
"The truth is this! This Bei family master appears bright and cheerful, but I never thought he could be so sinister and vicious behind the scenes!"
"Speaking of which, when Bei Liyuan went to Yunshan Sect and insisted on becoming Cheng Yanjun's disciple, he was mostly forced. He was truly insidious."
As everyone discussed, the magic dissipated, and Li Youyang said calmly: "Kill him."
Just as Zhou Gan was about to take action, a blue-robed disciple stepped forward and said, "Wait a minute, Elder Zhou. I am Lin Ze from the Guanhe Sword Sect. I have been ordered by the Sect Master to search for the demons. Could you please hand these demons over to the Guanhe Sword Sect for disposal?"
In Guanhe Sword Sect, Zhou Gan looked at Li Youyang, and Li Youyang nodded slightly.
The disciple bowed and thanked him, then left with the demon sword. Before leaving, he gave Li Youyang a meaningful look.
…
Zhou Gan looked at Beitang Feng and said, "I haven't been back to the Bei family for a long time, but I remember that the position of Bei family head had to be won through a martial arts competition. Beitang Feng, after Beitang Jing's death, were you involved in this process?"
Bei Tang Feng clenched his fists, and Zhou Gan continued, "Since there is no one, he can only be considered the acting head of the family. This saves us from going through the trouble of taking the position of head of the family. Now that Bei Liyuan has successfully won the qualification to succeed him, I hereby declare that Bei Liyuan will officially succeed him as the head of the Bei family. Does anyone present object?"
Beitang Feng sneered: "Zhou Gan, you think you can abolish my position as the head of the family with just a few words? Aren't you too naive? The Bei family today is my Beitang Feng's Bei family...ah!"
Following a scream, Beitang Feng was seriously injured. Zhou Gan curled his lips and said, "A few words won't do it, but what about my cultivation as a quasi-saint? Are you dissatisfied?"
After saying this, he swept his cold eyes over the elders, and no one dared to say anything.
Beitang Feng stood up weakly: "Zhou Gan, you want to use Bei Liyuan to control the Bei family..."
Zhou Gan laughed: "I want to control the Bei family, but I need Bei Liyuan's help? If it weren't for the old man's promise, do you think I would be willing to stay here! My agreement with the old man still has a hundred years. Bei Liyuan's cultivation is still low, so I will allow you to go out and practice for a hundred years. During this hundred years, I will stay in charge of the Bei family. After a hundred years, I will return the jade intact. The affairs of the Bei family will no longer have anything to do with me."
Bei Liyuan bowed and said, "Thank you, Elder Zhou."
Beitang Feng clenched his fists tightly. He had worked so hard, but in the end, all he got was these past ten years of suffering! Beitang Jing! Beitang Jing!
Elder Zhao said loudly, "Dear guests, the Bei family needs to take care of some matters. Please disperse first. The Bei family will come to apologize at another time."
…
"I never expected that the Bei family would change so suddenly. I don't know whether it will prosper or decline in the future!"
"It's hard to say. With Zhou Gan in charge, there will be no problem within the next hundred years, but after that, it all depends on Bei Liyuan's luck."
"I can't believe that Bei Liyuan suddenly became the patriarch of the Bei family overnight. What a twist of fate! Doesn't it mean that Bei Liyuan broke off the engagement with the young master of the Wang family because he really doesn't like him?!"
"Now that you mention it... it reminds me of something. Years ago, there was a rumor that Wang Qingyue seemed to have a pure Yin body."
"Pure Yin Body?! This is a top-grade furnace cauldron. It can't be real, otherwise he wouldn't have been abducted by a high-level cultivator long ago! Hmm... not necessarily. After all, he is the young master of the Wang family. How many cultivators would dare to abduct him! Besides, he is not the only furnace cauldron in the world. There is no need to take such a big risk. Bei Liyuan, who broke off the engagement, probably doesn't know about this."
"Of course they don't know. The Wang family is powerful, and Wang Qingyue is a top-notch furnace. Only a fool would refuse such a good thing that would bring both fame and fortune."
As they were discussing, Patriarch Wang stepped forward and said, "Young Master Bei, can we have a few words in private?"
Bei Liyuan: "No need, the Bei family still has trivial matters to deal with..."
Patriarch Wang said hurriedly, "It's just a few words, it won't take long."
Bei Liyuan looked at Li Youyang, who was chatting with Zhou Gan. Nangong Liuchu patted his shoulder and said, "Master is chatting with old friends and can't pay attention to you. Senior brother has said it, you go."
Bei Liyuan nodded and walked to the side of the head of the Wang family.
Patriarch Wang whispered, "Qingyue has a pure Yin body. You should know that practicing dual cultivation with him will benefit you immensely. As for your previous marriage..."
Bei Liyuan interrupted: "I am not destined to marry Prince Wang. I ask the head of the Wang family to find another suitable partner for him."
Patriarch Wang's face darkened instantly, and he said in a deep voice, "Bei Liyuan, do you think you can rest easy just by becoming the Patriarch of the Bei Family? Bei Tangfeng has been running the family for many years. Without the support of our Wang Family, how long could you have sat on the throne of the Bei Family?"
Bei Liyuan said coldly, "There's no need to trouble Patriarch Wang about this."
Patriarch Wang flung his sleeves and left angrily: "Bei Liyuan, one day you will regret this!"
Wang Qingyue clenched his fist silently and said, Bei Liyuan, I will make you pay back a hundredfold or a thousandfold for the humiliation you suffered today!
…
Three days later, the affairs of the Bei family were almost dealt with, and Bei Liyuan returned to Yunshan Sect with Li Youyang and Nangong Liu.
After returning this time, Luo Yinzhu's attitude towards Bei Liyuan changed completely. Not to mention that he was the future head of the Bei family, the fact that he entered the Void Refinement Realm in just three years was enough to shock him. He dared not neglect him at all, and even his attitude towards Li Youyang became much better.
Because of Bei Liyuan, Yunshan Sect began to accept many talented disciples. In just ten years, Yunshan Sect took another step forward and became one of the top 20 sects. This time, the top 20 sects were ranked by their real strength, not by spending money.
In addition, with Nangong Liuchu's intervention, the Yunshan Sect had the lowest price among all the sects when purchasing spiritual materials. With Li Youyang around, the sect had almost no shortage of spiritual stones. The only thing it lacked was a famous teacher.
Luo Yinzhu began to spend a lot of money to recruit elders into the sect, intending to further expand its strength.
In the past ten years, Yunshan Sect has undergone a lot of changes, but Chengyan Hall remains the same as before, with only three people and a very peaceful atmosphere.
That day, Bei Liyuan successfully ascended into the Golden Immortal Realm. Nangong Liuchu was stunned. "Junior Brother, your talent is truly incredible! It took me three hundred years to reach the Golden Immortal Realm, and you haven't even taken thirty. It's true that comparison kills! Also, how come you've grown taller? You're already half a head taller than me!"
Bei Liyuan smiled and looked up at Li Youyang who was sitting under a pear tree drinking tea in the distance. Ten years had passed, and his master seemed to have become even more deserted.
"What's wrong?" Nangong Liuchu followed Bei Liyuan's gaze and said, "You've been in seclusion for three years. Master would occasionally come out, but most of the time you stayed in your room reading."
Bei Liyuan hummed, walked to Li Youyang's side, and called softly, "Master, your disciple has successfully ascended to the Golden Immortal Realm."
Li Youyang put down the teacup and said, "Give me your hand."
Bei Liyuan did as he was told. Li Youyang gently grasped Bei Liyuan's wrist and probed into his spiritual energy. After a moment, he released it. "After you ascend, I won't have anything else to teach you. You can travel around like Nangong Liuchu to increase your cultivation and knowledge."
Bei Liyuan was slightly startled. Did the master no longer want to care about him? He knelt hurriedly and said, "Master, I have done something wrong to make you angry."
Li Youyang:?
Nangong Liuchu hurried over and helped Bei Liyuan up: "We cultivators are all like this. After ascending, we are considered to be leaving the sect. We will only seek out the master again if there is a very difficult problem to solve. In other words, after ascending, we have to walk the path on our own."
Bei Liyuan breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought Master didn't want me anymore."
Nangong Liuchu was speechless. This junior brother was too dependent on his master.
Li Youyang frowned slightly. Why were all his disciples so clingy? Nan Liujing was also like this after he ascended to heaven. He stayed by his side all day long and would only go out for training when he was not around. Did he teach his disciples the wrong way again?
"Li Yuan, you're all here." Luo Yinzhu hurried over. "Guanhe Sword Sect's leader, Nan Liujing, will be visiting Yunshan Sect in three days. To show respect, I thought we should go together to greet him. Please get ready."
Li Youyang's eyes darkened. Bei Liyuan and Nangong Liuchu spoke almost at the same time: "We have already made an appointment with our master to go out for training and will leave later."
Luo Yinzhu was stunned for a moment. That was truly unfortunate. After all, Nan Liujing's visit to Yunshan Sect didn't necessarily require the presence of all the sect members. "Well... well, then you should go and come back early. If you can make it, that's great. If you can't, forget it."
…
Three days later, Nan Liujing and the elders arrived at Yunshan Sect. Luo Yinzhu and all the important figures in the sect came to greet them in person.
Arriving at the main hall, Nan Liujing asked directly, "Which one is Elder Li Youyang?"
Luo Yinzhu was stunned. Why did so many people choose to look for Cheng Yanjun? "Master Nan, it is unfortunate that Elder Li and his disciples are away traveling. We don't know when they will return."
Nan Liujing asked again: "Where did you go?"
"This... they didn't say it when they left."
"When did you leave?"
"Three days ago."
A hint of sadness flashed across Nan Liujing's eyes. Does Master not want to see him?
"Is there something Master Nan wants to see Elder Li about? If it's urgent, I can send a message and ask them to come back as soon as possible."
Nan Liujing clenched his fist silently: "Thank you, Sect Master Luo."
