The story of the extermination of the clan is complicated, and it was actually caused by the heirloom jade that Song Siyao unexpectedly obtained.
Legend has it that the secret to ascension to immortality is hidden within a piece of jade passed down through generations, and countless people covet it.
One force among them never stopped searching, and when Song Siyao was brought back, they were investigating the City of Chaos.
The Yunyin Clan had a profound foundation, and its barrier could not be easily broken. However, the incident happened suddenly and they were unprepared. In addition, the traitors colluded from within and without, which led to the destruction of the family, which had been passed down for thousands of years, in that fire of annihilation.
Upon waking up and learning of the enemy's existence, she took some drastic measures, ensuring that those people would not be able to trace the Cloud Hidden Clan this time.
However, the Heirloom Jade remains a hidden danger. The Yunyin Clan has been living in seclusion for a thousand years, proud and noble, and has always been full of confidence. But Song Tingwan knows clearly that the changes over the past thousand years have been too great, and there are many more forces coveting the Heirloom Jade than just that one.
The Cloud Hidden Clan couldn't protect their younger sister.
She wanted to find a place that could protect them and help Song Siyao grow up so that she would at least have the ability to protect herself.
Furthermore, the Yunyin Clan was completely innocent. Now that she knew why the clan was wiped out, she naturally wouldn't let this matter implicate her family.
After thinking about it for several days, she finally decided to take her younger sister away from Yunyin.
Her goal is the four great sects, which will stand for thousands of years and be respected by all six realms. Such sects are enough to protect them.
What puzzled Song Tingwan was that, seeing her determination to leave, the clan leader, after a secret talk with her father, who was the high priest, actually allowed the most talented members of the clan to leave with them and join the four major sects together.
This is the proud, reclusive family that has lived in seclusion for thousands of years. In the fragments of my mind, the Yunyin Clan looks down on sects and even on the immortal lords.
What moved Song Tingwan was that even when Yunyin Mountain was engulfed in flames, her family refused to reveal Song Siyao's whereabouts, even at the cost of their lives.
The Hidden Cloud Clan is a proud family that is embroiled in internal strife but united against external threats.
.
"Si Yao, I can't walk anymore."
Song Tingwan was exhausted from walking; her lips were pale, and she leaned wearily against her younger sister's thin arms.
She had no intention of joining a sect; her original intention was simply to send Song Siyao into one. Once Song Siyao chose a sect, she could spend some spirit stones to settle down at the foot of their sect.
Unexpectedly, Si Yao, who could easily reach the summit in half a day, stayed here for her sake. Even though he was tired himself, he still gritted his teeth and helped her up step by step.
"Rest where you are."
Song Siyao, his face tense, helped her sit down, completely disregarding the dust that had settled on her magnificent robes.
She pursed her lips and turned her head away, showing a strong resistance to the person leaning against her, clearly not used to such intimacy.
She had only been home for a month, and had only spent half a month with her indescribably beautiful older sister.
During those sixteen years away from home, I endured hunger and beatings, fought among crowds, and snatched food from wild beasts.
She has no concept of family.
They helped her simply because they rescued her from the slave arena of the Chaos City.
That's all.
"Oh, you haven't gone up yet. But then again, it would be a miracle if you could even get up there with your physique."
The young cultivator who came upon hearing the noise was dressed like a noble young master, arrogant and haughty, looking at them with disdain.
Song Siyao ignored him as if she hadn't seen him.
There's never any nonsense in the arena; if you're going to fight, then fight; if you're dead, then shut up.
But the Cloud Hidden Clan members were so boring, and the Love Mouth People, mindful of their father's status as High Priest, refused to fight.
Song Tingwan's smile remained unchanged, but as she lowered her head and lifted her skirt, the words that came out were ambiguous and not very pleasant to hear.
"So it's Seventh Brother."
“We also want to go up, but we are not like Seventh Brother. He has enjoyed decades more of family resources than my Siyao, yet he is still behind us.”
Her gaze drifted towards Song Tingqi, gentle, her eyes crinkling as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
"you!"
The sisters' gazes were full of provocation in Song Tingqi's eyes. He clenched his fist and gave a cold laugh, "There's no need to waste words with two pieces of trash like you. You can't even climb this Heavenly Ladder. Don't embarrass our Yunyin Clan."
"There's no need for Seventh Brother to trouble himself with that."
Song Tingwan smiled as she watched his retreating figure.
Before leaving home, the clan chief told them that Song Tingwan would be in charge of this trip and that they should consult with her on everything.
How could those chosen ones be willing to submit to a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator like her, who was in poor health?
They were unconvinced, but Song Tingwan didn't get angry. Every time, she would respond with a gentle smile, leaving them speechless.
.
On the Heavenly Ladder, the cultivators who reached the top rested and waited for the next round of trials to begin.
Meanwhile, atop the Heavenly Ladder, the elders of various sects observed the diverse beings there, searching for promising talents to take under their wing.
"These two sisters are quite interesting."
In the first case, Elder Fuqu of the Sword Inquiry Sect pointed at the projection stone and became somewhat interested in watching the two sisters supporting each other.
The composed and dignified immortal lord beside her glanced at her, saw that the sisters were exceptionally beautiful, and shook his head helplessly.
"Fuqu, you still judge your disciples by their looks."
Elder Fuqu was born with a graceful and noble appearance, and her fairy dress made her gaze shine brightly. "The disciples of my Fuqu Peak are all exceptionally beautiful. Look at you poor sword cultivators who have no sense of romance. No wonder my disciples dislike you."
The leader of the Sword Path, the sect master of the Sword Inquiry Sect, sighed, "If your pill cultivators could make your pills a little cheaper, we sword cultivators wouldn't have to chase after you for bargaining every day."
Elder Fuqu smiled at him and said, "No way, get lost."
The sect leader reluctantly withdrew his gaze. When the topic of alchemy was mentioned, he frowned and seemed lost in thought.
His old wounds were difficult to heal, and even Fuqu was helpless. Now he could only place his hopes on the elusive Sleeping Fairy.
