Chapter 567: Chapter 567: Third Master, Cheng Yuan Is Here

An expression of utter ecstasy appeared on Yang Jian’s face.

This feeling of having regained what was lost made Yang Jian ecstatic!

Yang Jian swept Yu Fanghua into his arms. Feeling her familiar warmth, he finally let out a sigh of complete relief.

However, Yang Jian didn’t rashly carry Yu Fanghua back into the house. Instead, he kissed her cheek tenderly, his heart aching for her.

"Fanghua, you’ve consumed too much of your Life Origin these past three days. You need to take care of your body! Besides, the apprenticeship ceremony is about to begin."

But Yu Fanghua was blinded by rage!

She didn’t care if her body would be drained!

’Besides,’ she thought, ’the Merak King Body isn’t all about giving. There are some benefits for me, too.’

"It’s precisely because the apprenticeship ceremony is about to start that we must quickly increase your strength!"

"Why?"

"Huangfu Yanyi is here! Or do you want him to snatch me away?"

BUZZ!

Yang Jian’s mind exploded!

’Fanghua is my woman,’ he thought. ’No one can take her from me!’

’Not even Huangfu Yanyi!’

Yang Jian swept Yu Fanghua into his arms, rushed into the room, and pressed her down firmly onto the large bed!

Perhaps it was because the threat of the Old Dragon King was too great!

At this moment, Yang Jian was exceptionally volatile!

Like a Tyrannosaurus Rex!

Originally, Yu Fanghua had been holding back more than half of her Life Origin because of the Old Dragon King. But now, she held nothing back, pouring it all into Yang Jian!

With the help of a massive amount of Life Origin, Yang Jian’s understanding of the Celestial Dao Laws grew deeper and deeper!

Finally!

He successfully comprehended the seventh Celestial Dao!

BUZZ!

An incomparably powerful fluctuation erupted from Yang Jian’s body!

As long as he could completely fuse the seven Celestial Daos into one, he would give birth to the True Meaning of the Great Dao, which transcended the Celestial Dao Laws!

Unfortunately, the Merak King Body’s effect on advancing to the Martial God realm was already very small.

Yang Jian exhausted all the Life Origin, yet he only managed to preliminarily fuse two of the Celestial Daos, barely peeking over the threshold of a Half-Step Martial God.

Even so, Yang Jian was thrilled!

After all, the old geezers from the Five Great Holy Lands had only just barely managed to reach the threshold of a Half-Step Martial God themselves.

’But as for me, Yang Jian,’ he thought, ’as long as Fanghua can provide a continuous supply of Life Origin, one day, I will be able to step into the palace of the Martial Gods!’

’At that time, what will a mere Martial Arts Venerable of the Ancient Martial Realm matter?’

’Our Jinling Yang Family will become the sixth Great Holy Land!’

’No, our Jinling Yang Family will become the one and only Holy Land in the entire Ancient Martial Realm!’

’The other Five Great Holy Lands will all become vassals of our Jinling Yang Family!’

Having given all of her Life Origin to Yang Jian, Yu Fanghua was visibly exhausted, but her face shone with a crazed light!

’Huangfu Yanyi!’

’So you look down on me now!’

’In a little while, I’ll make myself so far out of your league you won’t even be able to dream of reaching me!’

’I’ll make you understand just what you missed out on!’

Yang Jian slowly retracted his power and looked at Yu Fanghua with concern. "Fanghua, are you okay?"

Yu Fanghua smiled sweetly. "For you to become a Seventh Grade Martial Saint, everything I’ve given is worth it."

"Fanghua... you’re so good to me!"

A well-hidden flicker of disgust flashed in Yu Fanghua’s eyes. ’If Huangfu Yanyi hadn’t been so heartless, do you think you, Yang Jian, would have gotten so much Celestial Dao Origin?’

"We must get revenge for Xiaojiu, and for Qiuyu’s son!"

A terrifying killing intent flickered in Yang Jian’s eyes.

"Fanghua, don’t you worry! Whether that brat Cheng Yuan dares to come or not, this day next year will be the anniversary of his death! Even if I have to chase him to the Nine Netherworld Yellow Springs, I will slaughter him! I will get revenge for Xiaojiu and Qiuyu!"

...

「Meanwhile.」

Cheng Yuan and his group walked out of the Dragon Flame Inn and headed straight for the Jinling Yang Family estate.

The auras of their group were so powerful that the Martial Artists on the road moved aside to avoid them.

Many of the Martial Artists who had come to observe the ceremony pointed and whispered about them.

"Who are those people? Why are their auras so strong? Especially those two old men! I don’t even dare to look straight at them!"

"You must be living under a rock! That’s the Old Prince of the Dali Duan Dynasty, and the other one seems to be the Supreme Elder of the Silver Moon Sect!"

"I heard the Old Prince’s time is almost up and he’s in life-or-death seclusion. It just goes to show how influential the Old Matriarch is, to actually be able to invite him over!"

"Who’s that young man? Is he a son or nephew from the Dali Duan Dynasty?"

"Possibly. He’s probably some illegitimate son of Prince Duan. Otherwise, why would he come to the apprenticeship ceremony wearing casual clothes? Look around, who here isn’t wearing a training uniform?"

...

Cheng Yuan’s mouth twitched uncontrollably. How did he suddenly become his second brother’s illegitimate son?

’Then again,’ he thought, ’it seems I really am the only one in casual clothes...’

Soon, the group arrived at the main gate of the Jinling Yang Family estate.

Yang Lingzhi and Yang Haoyu came forward with great enthusiasm. The two ignored Li Baizhan and Yang Qianhuan, smiling as they looked toward the Old Prince and Master Geng Di.

Yang Lingzhi cupped his hands and said, "Old Prince, Master Geng Di, your presence brings splendor to our humble Jinling Yang Family! Please, come in! The seats for the Dali Duan Dynasty and the Silver Moon Sect are ready. Please, follow me!"

The Old Prince and Master Geng Di paused. Not wanting to be separated from Cheng Yuan, they looked to him with questioning gazes.

Cheng Yuan gave a slight nod, indicating that it was fine, and only then did the two of them agree.

"Very well. Please lead the way, Eldest Master Yang."

Led by Yang Lingzhi, the members of the Dali Duan Dynasty and the Silver Moon Sect entered the Jinling Yang Family estate first.

Because of the Old Dragon King, Yang Haoyu was full of hostility toward the people from Dragon Flame.

Especially now that he had reached the rank of Half-Step Martial Saint, he didn’t give Li Baizhan and Yang Qianhuan, two mere Martial Emperors, the time of day, acting as if he couldn’t even see them.

As for Cheng Yuan, who stood beside them, Yang Haoyu treated him as if he were completely invisible.

Yang Haoyu bypassed the three of them and smilingly greeted the next group of guests. "Honored guests, from where do you hail? I am Haoyu, it is a pleasure to meet you!"

The other party quickly cupped his hands in a salute. "I am Zuo Lengxuan, Sect Leader of the Songshan Sect! Greetings, Third Master!"

"Ah, Sect Leader Zuo. Please, come in. The seats for the Songshan Sect have already been arranged!"

Yang Haoyu spoke politely, but he didn’t personally escort them. Instead, he gestured for a servant to come and lead the way.

After all, Zuo Lengxuan was only at the Emperor Level Peak; he wasn’t worthy of being personally escorted by Yang Haoyu.

Zuo Lengxuan didn’t dare show any dissatisfaction with this, obediently following the servant into the Jinling Yang Family estate.

Li Baizhan had a calm personality, but Yang Qianhuan couldn’t stand this kind of disrespect!

"Yang San Lang, are you blind? Can’t you see us? Get over here and lead the way!"

Yang Qianhuan didn’t lower his voice, drawing the attention of many people.

Chang Yingjiu, who had been Yang Haotian’s personal guard, was demoted to a gatekeeper for dereliction of duty.

Hearing the commotion, Chang Yingjiu subconsciously looked over. His expression was calm when he saw Yang Qianhuan, but when he saw Cheng Yuan, his face changed dramatically!

Cheng Yuan!

Cheng Yuan was here!

Chang Yingjiu stared at Cheng Yuan with a look of venomous hatred. It was this bastard who had killed Master Jiu, causing his own status in the Yang Family to plummet!

’Today, Cheng Yuan will definitely die!’

Chang Yingjiu quickly walked over to Yang Haoyu and whispered in his ear, "Third Master, Cheng Yuan is here! He’s the one in the casual clothes."
