As the Light Palm was about to strike Aotian, he felt the flow of blood within him slow down, and the operation of the Transformation Technique became severely obstructed.
Just when the Light Palm was less than a foot away from Aotian, it strangely halted. Upon closer inspection, one could see that cold sweat had covered Aotian's forehead.
"Thud."
At the moment when Aotian awaited his fate, the once imposing Light Palm suddenly shattered into countless specks of light, scattering with the wind.
"This, this..."
Aotian stared in disbelief at the scene before him, completely baffled by what had just happened.
"Hehe, little brother, today I was reckless. I apologize to you here. I have urgent matters to attend to, so I will take my leave!" Iron Sand Cold was drenched in sweat, looking utterly disheveled. After speaking, he hurriedly led his men away.
Aotian was left in confusion, not understanding what had transpired. He thought he was about to lose his life at Iron Sand Cold's hands, yet he had fled and even admitted his fault. Could it be that he had been "cursed"?
After pondering for a long time without arriving at any conclusion, Aotian helplessly shook his head, attributing it to a stroke of good luck, and continued on his way to Ning City and the Aojia.
"Elder, why don't you go meet that young fellow?"
Not long after Aotian left, two figures in black robes appeared ghost-like on the hilltop. Their faces were those of the mysterious individuals who had watched Aotian's match in Desolate City Arena.
"No rush. Although that young fellow has good cultivation talent, his temperament still needs verification. Let's follow him for a while longer and see if he is indeed someone worth nurturing before bringing him into the academy."
"Hehe, it seems the elder holds that young fellow in high regard..."
The elder smiled without speaking. In a flash, both figures vanished like ghosts.
"Big Brother, we are about to kill that bastard, why are we retreating?!"
On the other side, members of the Iron Sand Adventure Team were on their way back. Tiesha Lan could no longer contain her confusion and asked Iron Sand Cold.
Iron Sand Cold let out a bitter smile and said, "Do you think I don't want to kill him? Just now, a mysterious warrior immobilized me with his aura and sent me a message saying that if I harmed that little guy named Aotian, he would wipe out our Iron Sand Adventure Team."
"What?!"
Tiesha Lan looked incredulous, not expecting that she had just circled around Yama Palace and returned.
"Could it be a warrior from the Human Spirit Realm?" Tiesha Lan asked with a trembling voice.
The Human Spirit Realm, even in Fengyun Nation, is extremely rare. No one expected that behind Aotian stood a warrior from the Human Spirit Realm. If this news got out, it would likely cause a huge uproar within Fengyun Nation.
Iron Sand Cold moved his lips as if he wanted to say something but ultimately remained silent.
That kind of aura probably wasn't something a warrior from the Human Spirit Realm could possess...
Ning City, a medium-sized city within Fengyun Nation. In this city, three major families stood tall.
Aojia, Zheng Family, Ning Family. The three major families engaged in open and covert struggles, while other forces in Ning City mostly relied on these three powers.
At this moment, within Aojia.
In the main hall of Aojia, Aotian, Pater Aotian, and Aojia Second Master Ao Gong sat facing each other.
After nearly a month of relentless travel, Aotian finally returned to Aojia.
“Tian'er, I didn't expect that these months of training would allow you to break through to the Innate Realm. It seems that your efforts were not in vain,” the head of the Aojia family, Pater Aotian, said with a smile. His face was filled with satisfaction when he spoke about Aotian's breakthrough.
“Hehe, I had some fortunate encounters, which led to my breakthrough!” Aotian replied lightly.
“Haha, great! By the way, where is Yan'er?” Aotian asked curiously.
“Father, Sister Yan is completing a very important inheritance, so she might not be able to attend this year's Annual Meeting,” Aotian answered.
“Oh?!”
A hint of surprise flashed in Aotian's eyes. Generally, only those who have reached a very profound level of cultivation can leave an inheritance for future generations. It seems that Yan'er has had quite a fortune this time. After all, in Fengyun Nation, few can obtain an inheritance.
“The Annual Meeting is in a few days. You should go rest well; I still need to discuss matters regarding the Annual Meeting with the elders.”
“Yes, Father. I will take my leave now…”
That night, in a brightly lit room, three people sat facing each other. The individuals were Ao Gong and his two sons, Ao Yu and Aofeng.
“Father, did that bastard really break through to the Innate Realm?” Aofeng couldn't help but ask.
It should be noted that despite his desperate training over the past few months, he had only reached the peak of the Acquired Realm and was still some distance from the Innate Realm. Hearing that his former rival Aotian had actually broken through to the Innate Realm naturally made him feel envious.
“Hmm, indeed. I saw it with my own eyes in the main hall; he is undoubtedly in the Innate Realm,” Ao Gong said darkly.
Having coveted the position of family head for many years, Aotian's breakthrough to the Innate Realm was certainly not good news for him.
"Yu, if we face off at the Annual Meeting, can you handle him?" Ao Gong fixed his gaze on Ao Yu, who sat silently beside him.
Ao Yu pondered for a moment and said, "In these past few months of cultivation, I have broken through to the Innate Second Layer. Dealing with someone who has just broken through to the Innate Realm shouldn't be a problem!"
"What I want is not a 'should' but a 'must!'" Ao Gong's expression was as dark as if it could drip water.
"Father, why not ask our elder sister to come back and deal with that Bastard?" Aofeng seemed to think of something and immediately spoke to Ao Gong.
Ao Gong was slightly taken aback and said, "A few days ago, Ling'er just sent a message back."
"What did our elder sister say in the letter?" Ao Yu and Aofeng asked simultaneously.
"Ling'er has been accepted as a closed-door disciple by an elder of the Azure Cloud Sect," Ao Gong said word by word.
"What?!"
The two were first stunned, then their faces filled with overwhelming joy. They understood very well what it meant for their elder sister to be accepted as a disciple by an Azure Cloud Sect Elder. It meant that their elder sister was very likely to become an elder of the Azure Cloud Sect.
To them, an Azure Cloud Sect Elder was an unattainable existence, yet now their elder sister might become one. How could they not be exceptionally excited?!
"Ling'er mentioned in her letter that she is currently breaking through to the Innate Fivefold. Her strength is likely not any weaker than Aoyan," Ao Gong said, his tone filled with excitement.
"Then father, what are we waiting for? Let's have our elder sister come back and suppress the situation!"
"Alright, I'll send her a message right now..."
In another room, Aotian and his son were also sitting quietly.
"Tian'er, tell me, what exactly caused Yan'er to delay the Annual Meeting?" Aotian looked at Aotian with wise eyes.
"Indeed, I can't hide anything from you, Father!" Aotian said with a bitter smile.
"Of course, I'm your father. How could I not know your capabilities?!" Aotian scolded with a laugh.
Aotian chuckled awkwardly and then proceeded to tell Aotian everything about Aoyan in detail.
After a long while, Aotian sighed and said, "I didn't expect Yan'er to be from the Ice Phoenix Clan..."
"By the way, you little rascal, didn't you say you were only training near Ning City? How did you end up in the Eternal Night Forbidden Zone? Are you trying to fool your old man?!" Aotian's eyes widened as he stared fiercely at Aotian.
"Well, that is..." Hearing his father reprimanding him, Aotian couldn't help but break into a sweat.
"Forget it. Seeing how quickly your cultivation is progressing, I won't hold it against you. But if you can't achieve good results at the Annual Meeting, just wait and see how I deal with you!" Aotian shot a sidelong glance at Aotian and said.
"Yes, yes, yes..."
"However..."
Aotian seemed to think of something and furrowed his brow tightly.
"What's wrong, Father?" Aotian asked cautiously.
"Ao Yu may have already broken through to the Innate Second Layer. Be very careful if you encounter him!" Aotian said with a serious expression.
"Don't worry, Father. A mere Innate Second Layer warrior won't cause much trouble!" Aotian replied confidently.
What a joke! If I can handle Shangguan Jin, then dealing with Ao Yu should be a piece of cake. If I can't even manage that, I might as well just buy a block of tofu and end it all!
Aotian reminded Aotian once more before finally stepping out of his room.
Standing in the courtyard, Aotian gazed at the bright moon hanging high in the sky and sighed, "I hope that woman doesn't show up during the Annual Meeting; otherwise..."
