After all, only by breaking into the top ten could one enter the Inner Sect of the Heavenly Sword Sect for training. With this status, other hostile forces would think twice before acting against the Yun Family, showing at least some caution.
As for Kong Xiong, who had leaked information, Yun Fan would never allow him to return alive. If it weren't for his betrayal, Yun Ding wouldn't have died here.
Standing aside, Wu Yao watched as several members of the Yun Family chatted among themselves. He felt somewhat awkward; after all, his relationship with them wasn't particularly close. They had only exchanged nods in the past, and lingering here felt out of place.
Moreover, with Yun Fan having killed so many Yan Family disciples, he was bound to offend Yan Zhenqing and even the Yan Family behind him. The Yan Family was backed by a powerful ancestor from the Tianyuan Realm; if Wu Yao got involved, his small Wu Family could be wiped out in an instant.
For safety's sake, he decided it was best to distance himself from them and find a corner to hide in. He could wait a few days until the assessment was over and then return to his family to train in peace.
Having made up his mind, Wu Yao clasped his hands together and spoke loudly. "Yun Fan, thank you for your earlier assistance. I will remember this kindness. If you need anything in the future, just let me know."
"With my strength, it's difficult for me to enter the Sect," he continued. "So I plan to find a safe place to hide until the assessment ends and then return home to train properly in Dongyang County City."
Yun Fan nodded calmly upon hearing this and showed no intention of keeping Wu Yao around. After all, he wasn't a disciple of the Yun Family; there was no reason for him to take care of him.
Seeing this, Wu Yao slightly cupped his hands in farewell and left, gradually disappearing into the forest.
Once Wu Yao had departed, the atmosphere among the remaining members of the Yun Family became more relaxed; after all, it was somewhat inconvenient to speak freely with outsiders present.
Yun Fan turned to Yun Tian beside him and said slowly, "Brother Tian, take out your token."
Yun Tian was taken aback for a moment, seemingly puzzled, but he still retrieved his token from within his robes.
Yun Fan glanced at it and noted that he had only over forty points, ranking over twenty thousand—there wasn't much difference.
Considering that countless talented disciples were participating in this assessment and many were quite powerful, breaking into the top two thousand would require at least reaching the late True Essence Realm.
With Yun Tian at the peak of True Essence Realm's third layer being able to rank over twenty thousand was quite impressive; after all, most disciples at this level were typically around the mid-stage of True Essence Realm.
As for those ranked beyond twenty thousand, they were mostly ordinary disciples who had just entered True Essence Realm or were at its first or second layers—very weak overall. Their tokens probably only contained a few points or a dozen at most.
In an instant, he lightly swept his card, and five hundred points were deducted, allowing Yun Tian's ranking to smoothly enter the top thousand.
Seeing this, Yun Tian's face lit up with joy, but he still shook his head and refused. "Yun Fan, these points are hard-earned by you. If you give them all to me, what if it prevents you from entering the Sect?"
Before Yun Fan could respond, Yun Yan smiled and said, "Brother Tian, just accept it. With Xiao Fan's strength, entering the Sect is a certainty. He just wants to ensure that both of us can enter the Heavenly Sword Sect to train well and protect our family in the future."
Upon hearing this, Yun Tian nodded earnestly, showing no intention of declining. He looked at Yun Fan with admiration; after all, he was the pride of their Yun Family.
Soon, they arrived at the place where Yun Ding had fallen and discovered a headless corpse—it was indeed Yun Ding. The group fell silent, their moods heavy as they prepared to clean up the body and take it back to the family for a proper burial.
