Legend of Swordsman

It was also Night Lingxiao’s father.

“Yue Wudao!”

Buzz!

In the backyard of the clan, an old figure suddenly appeared outside the clan gate.

“Xiao’er?” Yue Wudao’s voice trembled slightly.

His children were all extraordinarily talented. Not to mention his eldest son, Yue Lingyun, who became the master of the Blood Robe Sect, even his eldest daughter, Yue Lingxiao, had become a Fifth Tribulation Universe Master at an early age.

But then she mysteriously disappeared.

After searching for so many years, she actually came back. How could he not be happy?

When Hu Qing saw the person he wanted to see, he gently took off his black robe, revealing the figure of Yue Lingxiao.

And at that moment, Yue Lingxiao regained consciousness.

Originally forcibly taken away and then losing consciousness, upon regaining it, she saw her father and the familiar clan mansion.

Yue Wudao was in a great mood, he stepped forward and grabbed his daughter’s hand, showering her with questions and concern.

But Yue Lingxiao was a bit at a loss.

She glanced at Hu Qing, but she had no impression of him whatsoever.

Everything felt like a dream.

“Let’s go, back home!” Yue Wudao pulled his daughter towards the mansion. It was only then that he noticed Hu Qing standing beside them. If he hadn’t seen him with his own eyes, he wouldn’t have noticed Hu Qing’s presence.

Only then did he realize, and he turned to look at his daughter, obviously wanting Yue Lingxiao to introduce him.

But he couldn’t see through him; he must be a super strong individual.

At least a Universe Master of the Seventh Tribulation.

But Yue Lingxiao didn’t know who Hu Qing was!

Before the awkward silence could set in, Hu Qing took the initiative to introduce himself, “I am Tianji. I happened to come across the search for relatives message sent out by the Yue Family, and I found Miss Yue unconscious in the Desolate Land, so I brought her back!”

Desolate Land?

Unconscious?

Yue Lingxiao didn’t believe it in her heart. She was certain that the monk in front of her had taken her away.

But she couldn’t say these things now, so she didn’t refute.

She didn’t believe it, but Yue Wudao did!

Upon hearing that the person who saved his daughter’s life was visiting, Night’s family warmly welcomed Hu Qing into their ancestral home.

Word of this quickly spread.

Even their eldest son, Ye Lingyun, was summoned back.

A banquet was arranged within the family to celebrate their daughter’s return and to express gratitude to Hu Qing.

The feast concluded late into the night.

Hu Qing was accommodated in a guest room.

As for Ye Lingxiao, her return to the family was somewhat involuntary. She didn’t harbor much affection for this family; otherwise, she wouldn’t have hesitated to return.

But today, seeing her father’s attentiveness, she felt a sense of wavering and confusion.

It all felt like a dream.

After the banquet, ostensibly to retire for the night and ease the tension, she actually slipped into Hu Qing’s guest room.

This was Ye family’s ancestral home, where nothing escaped the eyes of Ye Wudao.

He stood with his hands behind his back, facing the window, with his eldest son, Ye Lingyun, behind him.

“Lingxiao has returned. The plan we made originally shall continue!” Ye Wudao’s once amiable expression was replaced by a sinister look.

Ye Lingyun’s expression shifted slightly as he respectfully said, “Father, about that person…”

“Hmph!” Ye Wudao snorted coldly. “Tomorrow, give him some treasures and send him away. If he refuses to leave, then… dispose of him!”

Ye Lingyun swallowed hard, feeling his father’s words were somewhat extreme. He was a Universe Master at the Seventh Tribulation, yet he couldn’t sense any aura from Hu Qing. How was he supposed to handle this?

“But, Patriarch is currently in seclusion. Who will handle this?”

“You need not worry about that. I have a solution!” Ye Wudao sneered. “Lord Xilu hasn’t absorbed any cultivators for a long time. That Tianji is probably a high-level cultivator at the Eighth Tribulation, and unlike the strong ones in the Ancient Moon Spacetime, no one would care if he’s eliminated!”

At the mention of Xilu, the contemporary Blood Cloth Sect Master, Ye Lingyun couldn’t help but shudder.

That was a monster.

He had always been extremely wary, but with his father and the Patriarch cooperating with Xilu, he had no choice.

Seeing his son’s unease, Ye Wudao comforted him, “Alright, I’ll take care of it personally. You don’t need to intervene. Just ensure everything we need is prepared. This time, our Ye family’s overall strength will soar…”

The entire Ancient Moon Spacetime was quite stirred up now.

With the disappearance of the Ancient Moon Ruins, the Ancient Moon Spacetime lost its burden.

There would emerge a large number of strong individuals in the future.

By then, their eight-star sects, and even the Ancient Moon Sect, might be replaced.

Changes had to be made now, which meant attaching oneself to the thighs of the powerful.

Cooperate with the strong and share everything.

Previously, as the power of the Ancient Moon Spacetime waned, they had to rely on the Ancient Moon Sect to maintain their position.

Moreover, few strong individuals were born at that time, and they could handle it themselves.

But advancing further was difficult.

Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.

19 eight-star sects, regardless of the disparity in their strengths.

No one dared to overstep.

But this balance would soon be broken.

Ye Wudao harbored great ambitions in his eyes, though he was a Scattered Tribulation, he still hoped for a resurrection.

Anything was possible in the future.

Ambition was only natural.

“Divine Wood King of the Ancient Wood Continent has already rebuilt the Ancient Wood Sect. His own strength surpasses that of the Universe Master of the Eighth Tribulation level. And the Patriarch of the Bai Family of the Primordial White Heaven, not long ago, somehow got associated with

Jian Wushuang, gaining a burst of Life force, and the overall strength of the family erupted again.

“And the Ancient Moon Sect also gained Life force, probably because of that Jian Wushuang. They are all getting stronger. How can my Ye Family afford to stagnate?”

Ye Wudao tone was low as he turned to look at his son, “Some sacrifices are necessary, for the family!”

However, Ye Lingyun didn’t think so, but he didn’t refute his father either.

He was a Universe Master, he had a better future, and he had the pride of a strong individual.

To enhance the family’s strength, sacrificing his sister.

Then the next time to enhance the family’s strength, would it be his turn to be sacrificed?

Speaking of it step by step, sacrificing just one sister.

That would still be a very embarrassing thing and would become a stumbling block for his Dao Heart.

After a moment of silence between father and son, Ye Lingyun took his leave.

He didn’t want to stay in this family for long, because the chill was heavy!

Outside the mansion.

Within the guest room.

Hu Qing saw Ye Lingxiao enter through the door, and he knew the purpose of her visit. With a flick of his finger, he froze the spacetime, even the Ye Family Patriarch couldn’t peek into this place.

“Who are you exactly?” Feeling the stillness of the surrounding spacetime, Ye Lingxiao was first scared, then pretended to be calm, “What’s the matter, are you afraid?”

Hu Qing sat cross-legged on the soft couch, lifted the teacup with his hand, took a sip of tea, and calmly said, “You’ll know my identity later. For now, just remember

one thing, I won’t harm you!”

“Heh!” Ye Lingxiao didn’t believe it, “You won’t harm me? Then why did you send me back to the Ye Family?”

She wasn’t a fool, she knew some of the Ye Family’s plans, so she had been avoiding coming back.
