Chapter 357: Yanbei Ancient City
Yan Xiaofei, who was obviously in his prime a few months ago and began to show amazing talent, became a dying man a few months later. And Yan Lieyang was also shocked to find that after Yan Xiaofei came to Yanjia Village, he was not guarding the ancestral hall, but was forced to live in a dim wing, like an old man waiting for death, his eyes were full of emptiness.
When Yan Lieyang found Yan Xiaofei, Yan Xiaofei's hair was almost gone, and his teeth gradually fell out. Except for the occasional flash of hatred in his eyes, there was hardly any anger in his eyes.
Yan Lieyang immediately asked Yan Xiaofei the reason, and Yan Xiaofei, who had a complicated expression, hesitated for a moment, but still told Yan Lieyang everything truthfully.
It turned out that after the Beishan Ancestor checked Yan Xiaofei's root bone, he was shocked to find that Yan Xiaofei actually possessed an extremely rare spirit bone. This kind of spirit bone was difficult to find when Yan Xiaofei was young, and only when Yan Xiaofei became an adult would it gradually show its miracles. Yan Xiaofei's cultivation speed suddenly increased before, which was the result of the awakening of this spirit bone.
After struggling a little, the Beishan Ancestor who was in a complicated mood immediately decided to rely on the secret method to extract the spiritual energy in Yan Xiaofei's spirit bones and transfer all of them to Yan Lieyang's body, so that Yan Lieyang's already outstanding talent would change qualitatively again, and he would become a peerless genius that was unparalleled in the entire Tiannan Domain.
After all, compared to the two geniuses who jointly promoted the rise of the Yan family, the appearance of a peerless genius was of greater value to the Yan family. In addition, Yan Lieyang is the direct descendant of Beishan Ancestor, so sacrificing Yan Xiaofei to become Yan Lieyang has become the only choice in Beishan Ancestor's heart.
The purpose of the secret method he taught Yan Lieyang and Yan Xiaofei at that time was precisely to transfer the aura in Yan Xiaofei's spirit bones into Yan Lieyang's body. It's just that Yan Lieyang and Yan Xiaofei didn't notice it at that time, so they obediently cultivated the secret method according to the requirements of the Beishan Ancestor.
The final result was obvious, Yan Lieyang's cultivation speed skyrocketed again, and it only took a few months to become the youngest Martial King powerhouse in the Yan family's history. And after Yan Xiaofei was extracted from the spiritual energy in the spirit bones, his body became weaker and weaker, and now he was only one step away from death.
Beishan Old Ancestor didn't want to affect the reputation of the Yan family after this matter came out, so he sent someone to imprison Yan Xiaofei in the Yan family's ancestral land and let him fend for himself. And Yan Xiaofei also inadvertently learned the truth of the matter from the members of the Yan family who imprisoned him, and the hatred in his heart for the ancestor of Beishan and the high-level Yan family was unprecedented.
But Yan Xiaofei didn't expect that he would be able to see Yan Lieyang before he died, and the other party had been kept in the dark until he met him. After Yan Xiaofei heard Yan Lieyang's inquiry, he had no intention of hiding the truth, and directly told Yan Lieyang everything he knew, which immediately made Yan Lieyang's heart feel like a lightning strike, and his face became extremely pale.
Yan Lieyang, who was extremely guilty in his heart, had a blank mind, and only reacted after a long time, and shed tears of remorse in front of Yan Xiaofei. But he knew that just apologizing couldn't make up for everything Yan Xiaofei had lost, so Yan Lieyang immediately returned to Yan's house to question Beishan Ancestor and ask for a panacea to cure Yan Xiaofei.
When Beishan Old Ancestor learned that the matter was revealed, he had no intention of continuing to hide it, but he also did not have any guilt or remorse on his face. He told Yan Lieyang that everything he did was for the entire Yan family and for Yan Lieyang's future future. Not only that, the Beishan Ancestor also personally told Yan Lieyang that Yan Xiaofei's illness could not be cured at all, and he had only one way to die after the aura in the spirit bone was extracted!
Yan Lieyang was hit again when he heard this, but Beishan Ancestor didn't have any understanding of him, and directly asked Yan Lieyang to be taken down and strictly guarded, not allowing him to leave the cultivation place one more step.
Yan Lieyang learned from the pain, as if he had changed from a teenager to a young man who was in charge in an instant. While pretending to cultivate with all his strength to gain the trust of the Yan family's higher-ups, he cautiously waited for the opportunity to escape, planning to leave the Yan family with Yan Xiaofei to find a way to save his life.
Huangtian lived up to his wishes, and after two months of Yan Lieyang being strictly guarded, he finally found a chance to get out again, and successfully broke through the blockade of the Yan family's high-level and returned to the Yan family's ancestral land to find Yan Xiaofei's traces. It's just a pity that when Yan Lieyang came to the Yan family's ancestral land again, he found that Yan Xiaofei had already disappeared, and no one in Yanjia Village knew where Yan Xiaofei went.
Yan Lieyang had no choice but to go away, looking for Yan Xiaofei's whereabouts in the Ten Thousand Souls Continent, and at the same time asking for elixirs that could cure Yan Xiaofei. However, many years have passed, not only has Yan Lieyang not had any news of Yan Xiaofei, but his efforts to find the elixir have failed.
Disheartened, Yan Lieyang never returned to the Yan family, and has been wandering around the Ten Thousand Souls Continent. It wasn't until he became the inheritor of the Tower of Babel by chance that Yan Lieyang once again had a way forward, determined to exhaust his life's energy to find the successor of the Tower of Babel and change the fate of the entire Ten Thousand Souls Continent.
Ye Ye fell into silence after listening to Yan Lieyang's explanation, and his mood was as complicated as Yan Lieyang.
Now he finally understood why Yan Lieyang was inappropriate to let the young master of the first family of the Tiannan Domain go, and he wanted to fight against the Heavenly Dao Academy with him to the end. Perhaps for Yan Lieyang before, the Yan family has long become his past. If it weren't for the last resort, he would never want to have anything to do with the Yan family again.
But in order to help Ye Ye and Mohai Ancient City reverse the predicament, Yan Lieyang resolutely returned to the Yan family, and successfully persuaded the Yan family to come forward to contain Wei Yan. This kindness, Ye Ye firmly remembered in his heart. But on the surface, Ye Ye remained silent, and quickly shifted the topic to their actions after arriving at the ancient city of Yanbei.
Because Yan Lieyang was familiar with the ancient city of Yanbei and the Yanbei Mountains, even if Ye Ye didn't ask for it, he planned to act as Ye Ye's guide and take Ye Ye to the ancient city of Yanbei to contact the Yan family.
Just as the two were secretly discussing their plans after arriving at the ancient city of Yanbei, in the ancient city of Yanbei at the foot of the Yanbei Mountain Range, a handsome young man was discussing the recent events of the Yan family with several other young men and women in a hall of the City Lord's Mansion.
And when they said it, there was always only one core of the discussion, that is, the huge impact that the sudden appearance of Yan Lieyang had on the current pattern of the Yan family.
Because after Yan Lieyang left, several ancestors of the Yan family had re-selected a Yan family disciple named Yan Tianran to cultivate hard. After Yan Tianran cultivated to the peak realm of the Martial King, Yan Zhendong, the head of the Yan family, officially announced Yan Tianran's existence to the outside world, and canonized him as the young master of the Yan family, letting him lead all the younger generation of family members of the Yan family.
Originally, Yan Tianran had been unanimously recognized by the Yan family through his strong strength and extraordinary means, and became the best candidate to succeed Yan Zhendong as the head of the family. But Yan Lieyang's sudden return completely messed everything up, especially after the news of Yan Lieyang or his escape from Tongfeng Valley came out, almost all the top officials of the Yan family were more optimistic about Yan Lieyang.
Although Yan Zhendong did not reveal the meaning of abolishing Yan Tiantian and making Yan Lieyang the young master of the Yan family, Yan Lieyang's influence among the younger generation of the Yan family has increased day by day. Some of the young men and women who had sworn to follow Yan Tianran had gradually stopped appearing in front of Yan Tianran, and instead began to inquire about various news about Yan Lieyang through various means.
Because Yan Lieyang's strength was strong enough, after he returned to the Yan family, the high-level Yan family did not continue to hide his existence, and let all kinds of news about Yan Lieyang gradually flow out. After the younger generation of the Yan family learned about Yan Lieyang's experience, they respected him even more. The once prosperous Yan Tianran Mansion has now become a crowd, and only a few of Yan Tianran's followers are still loyal to him.
Today, these followers of Yan Tianran gathered again in the courtyard where Yan Tianran lived in the City Lord's Mansion, and while scolding those who saw the wind and steered the rudder for being disloyal and unjust, they had to admit that Yan Lieyang's rise in the Yan family was unstoppable.
In the hall, the young man sitting in the first place was the current young master of the Yan family, Yan Tianran, who sat in place with a smile and did not speak while listening to everyone express their personal opinions on Yan Lieyang.
In fact, since Yan Lieyang appeared, Yan Tianran has been cautious in his words and deeds, and others don't know what his attitude towards Yan Lieyang is, so he has been carefully figuring out Yan Lieyang's psychology when he speaks, for fear that he will accidentally anger the other party and bring trouble to himself.
A young woman sitting not far from Yan Tianran saw that Yan Tianran was silent, and couldn't help but muster up the courage to say loudly to everyone: "Although Yan Lieyang has a lot of appeal among the younger generation now, I think it is still impossible for him to replace the position of the natural young master in the Yan family. After all, Yan Lieyang had openly confronted Beishan Ancestor, and Beishan Ancestor couldn't make Yan Lieyang become the young master of the Yan family for the sake of his own face!"
"Yes, Yan Lieyang has offended the Beishan Ancestor, and it is impossible for him to enter the power core of the Yan family again!"
"Who made him dare to offend the ancestor of Beishan without knowing the height of the sky!"
"The status of the natural young master is as stable as Mount Tai, Yan Lieyang can't be the opponent of the young master at all!"
As soon as the young woman finished speaking, the other followers of Yan Tianran immediately opened their mouths to echo, wanting to please Yan Tianran.
However, Yan Tianran did not show an approving look on his face as they expected.
He just smiled lightly, and then said to the young woman and the others: "You don't have to pat me on the back, and you don't have to deliberately say something nice to make me feel at ease." I, Yan Nature, am not a narrow-minded person, if Yan Lieyang is really better than me, what does it matter if I give him the position of young master?"
Yan Tianran's expression was calm when he said this, and his voice was loud, as if he really didn't care about the position of the young master of the Yan family.
