In her room, a middle-aged woman shed tears, particularly upon discovering a faded, broken jade, the symbol of her son's life, signifying his death. "How... how is this possible? How could my son die? Yu'er went to the western region together with people from the Huan Clan, so no one should have dared to kill him there, but he is dead now." *Crack* Suddenly, a middle-aged man entered the room, but his expression changed to shock at his wife's hands, so he quickly moved to her side and grabbed the broken jade. "This? Isn't this our son's life jade, Yu Xiaoli?" "Yes." Yu Xiaoli nodded to her husband. "What should we do now, Xuan Zan? You should send some people to the Huan Clan in the western region and ask them to take responsibility for our son's death. You can then order them to kill the bastards who couldn't protect our son." "No need." Xuan Zan then stored the broken jade in his storage ring. "I will go there myself to hold them accountable, and I will kill them with my own hands if they cannot give me an explanation." "I will go with you there." Yu Xiaoli wiped her tears before rushing to follow her husband. Just as they were about to leave the clan, an old man stopped them and inquired. "Why are you two in such a hurry?" Xuan Zan immediately showed the Xuan Yu broken life jade to the old man, who was none other than Xuan Zeng, making his face darken. After listening to everything, his killing intent leaked from his body instantly, causing his son and daughter-in-law to tremble. "Let's go! I'll go with you two to that region, and I'll settle accounts with Huang Jingtian for my grandson's death." "Yes, Father." However, they suddenly sensed a calm but terrifying aura moving towards them really fast, and a woman landed in front of them not long after. She looked mature and elegant in a loose purple dress, and her long purple hair flowed down loosely behind her back. Her oval face exuded allure and enchantment; her purple eyes were glazed; her expression was flat; and her thick lips were beautifully wrapped in purple. She has a slender body, but her curves are as beautiful as a flower vase, and her assets are really big around DD-Cup. The two men gulped hard upon seeing the woman's alluring figure, and the charm emanating from her body made their hearts beat fast. However, they immediately lowered their faces so that she wouldn't notice the lust in their eyes, especially since she wasn't just a woman, and the people behind her were several times stronger than them. Yu Xiaoli also lowered her face as she cupped her hands toward the woman. "What brought you suddenly to our clan, Madam Zi'er?" Zi'er did not directly answer You Xiaoli's question, but she observed them one by one, then let out a soft sigh and told them the reason for her arrival. "We already heard about Xuan Yu's death, so my father-in-law sent me here to forbid you all from going to the western region, and he asked me to stop you guys if you insist on going there." "But-" "I didn't come here to discuss this matter with all of you, but I came here to give you clear orders, and I will kill you if you insist on prolonging it." Zi'er interrupted them while releasing her aura, and her powerful aura greatly deterred them. "Moreover, the person who killed Xuan Yu was my sister-in-law, and she had warned him not to do anything to Zhao Ziqin. However, he persisted in pursuing her, even resorting to forceful kidnapping, which ultimately led her to kill him. After hearing Zi'er's explanation, the three people froze in place, but they were truly shocked to learn that Zhao Ziqin had a close relationship with Zhang Lingxue, and she even killed Xuan Yu for her. Zi'er then withdrew her aura before speaking to them again. "Lingxue is on her way back to this region, and she will arrive tomorrow, so all of you can come to our Zhang Clan if you can't accept her death." Without waiting for their answer, Zi'er immediately left the Xuan Clan, leaving the three people frozen in their spots for a long time. After a while, Xuan Zeng took a deep breath before speaking to his son and daughter-in-law. "Zan'er! Xiaoli! I, like you two, want to take revenge for Yu'er's death. However, Young Miss Lingxue is his murderer, and there's no way we can win against the Zhang Clan. I myself don't like to take this decision, but we have no other choice but to accept his death. If we don't accept his death, it will lead to the destruction of our clan and the suffering of others; therefore, we must put this matter behind us. Moreover, you still have Ming'er, and his character is much better than his big brother, so you can start preparing him to become the successor of our clan." After their father's departure, Yu Xiaoli asked her husband. "Are we really going to forget Yu'er's death like this?" "Do you think I want to just forget about our son's death?" With a heavy sigh, Xuan Zan returned the question, hugging his wife's waist as he guided her back into their clan. Janette shook her head at him. "I don't know how to be sure about that myself, especially since my mother never explained it to me, and she always diverted our conversation every time I asked her about it, so I always harbored many questions in my heart about that matter." "All right, you don't need to be this impatient, and we will go straight to your realm after I finish some business." Zhang Fei then sat cross-legged in the middle of the backyard as he took out the profound elemental fruit from the system inventory. "You should leave me alone, especially since I don't know what will happen when I eat this fruit, and my light element might affect you." Janette nodded in understanding and went straight into the house, especially since she was a demon, and Zhang Fei's light element would be bad for her. [Master, I don't think anything bad will happen after you eat this fruit, but your three elements will indeed become stronger afterwards.] Zhang Fei just nodded and immediately ate the fruit greedily, and he started to feel a stirring inside his body a few minutes later, but it only lasted for a moment and disappeared again, confusing him. However, three consecutive notifications suddenly appeared in his mind, starting him. [Congratulations! Your fire element has been upgraded to the intermediate stage.] [Congratulations! Your light element has been upgraded to the intermediate stage.] [Congratulations! Your darkness element has been upgraded to the intermediate stage.] Zhang Fei let out a heavy sigh after reading the three notifications, especially since all three elements had only increased by one stage. 'Initially, I anticipated an upgrade to an advanced level for my elements, but I believe this is sufficient for my current situation, and my light elements will be useful when I visit the Diyu Realm later.' [You are right, Master. After all, there are only demons in the Diyu Realm, and your light element is their nemesis. Even so, you have to be careful when you go there, especially since they are still strong, even though they are not demon cultivators.] 'That's true.' Zhang Fei then tried using the three elements one by one, and the flames that appeared on his palm were brighter and stronger than before, as were the light and darkness elements, making him feel satisfied with all three. 'Not bad! The three of them have become two times stronger than before.' [Anyway, why haven't you done anything about Pang Hong's subordinate yet, Master?] Zhang Fei responded to her question by shaking his head. 'Mei, I'm not in the Sky Jade Realm right now, and Pang Hong will immediately know if I kill that guy, which will bring trouble to Hua'er and the others if he and the Pang Clan attack them. That's why I deliberately delayed it, but I will immediately do something about him after I go back there, so I can protect them if those evil cultivators want to do something bad to them.' Since his mother and the others were still sleeping, Zhang Fei decided to practice some of his other techniques, such as the Clone Illusion Steps and the Nine Cloud Steps. - To Be Continued - === My other novels 1.
