I See the Aura of the Great Emperor in All My Disciples

Chapter 1699: Chapter 1699: Challenging Xu Qing! (2/4)

Xu Qing stared at Xu Luo before him, his expression gloomy, his hands tightly wrung.

He had not anticipated that Xu Luo, who hadn’t made any progress over the years, would suddenly erupt at this moment!

This turned the mockery and those sworn promises to snatch the privileges from his hands into what seemed like a joke!

He wanted to refute Xu Luo’s words, but the reality before him made it impossible to even open his mouth.

Any rebuttal now would carry no weight whatsoever.

With that thought, Xu Qing’s complexion soured, and he turned away to leave immediately.

What was there to stay for?

To continue staying here would just be to lose face further!

Seeing this, the direct lineage members quickly changed their attitude, flocking to Xu Yeming to offer their insincere flattery and to curry favor.

”I always knew Xu Qing was no match for you, Brother Xu Luo!”

”Alas, Brother Xu Luo’s talent is as outstanding as ever! Given time, you might truly surpass Xu Yuan!”

”That’s right, after all, Brother Xu Luo is the face of the younger generation of the Xu Family now!”

Hearing this flattery, Xu Yeming did not respond, merely giving them an indifferent glance.

Seeing that they were only embarrassing themselves, the crowd managed a sheepish laugh before saying their farewells to Xu Yeming and dispersed.

Sometimes it’s just like that.

When you’re at the foot of the mountain, others will only ridicule you or ignore you outright.

But the moment you stand at the summit, those who once mocked and looked down on you will come over and try to ingratiate themselves with you!

And that was exactly what Xu Han was doing right now.

Xu Han managed to force a smile, although tinged with a trace of desolation, her eyes filled with regret, she said, ”Brother Xu Luo... I’m sorry, congratulations.”

Xu Yeming replied with a smile, ”It seems what I said wasn’t wrong, now you’ve discarded your pride, haven’t you?”

Seeing that Xu Luo did not reminisce about the close relationship the two had shared when they were younger, Xu Han’s eyes quickly reddened, and after choking back a sob, she turned and ran off.

Xu Yeming watched Xu Han’s departing figure, feeling no pity.

He was well aware that her distress was only because everything she had done over the years had been negated.

There was nothing there to pity; it was a self-inflicted plight.

At that moment.

Xu Chen suddenly approached, speaking lightly, ”It seems you’ve regained your confidence?”

Xu Yeming was slightly startled, looking toward Xu Chen, alert in his heart.

No matter how closely he imitated Xu Luo, someone with a discerning eye would be able to notice something amiss.

Xu Chen nodded slightly and said, ”That’s good, it seems my analysis was not wrong. It was just a lack of self-confidence that prevented your breakthrough. If Xu Qing had acquired the privileges, with his talent and state of mind, he’d be incapable of leading the younger generation of the Xu Family against the other aristocratic families.”

Having said that, Xu Chen nodded to Xu Yeming and then turned and left cleanly and directly.

Hong Ying commented with a laugh at his side, ”It looks like not all the younger generation of the Xu Family are so bad.”

Blackie nodded, ”If they were all like the others, the younger generation of the Xu Family would truly be doomed.”

Xu Yeming heaved a sigh of relief, thankfully not being exposed.

Afterward.

Xu Yeming, following the requests of the cane-wielding elder, went to the library to get the latter half of the Eclipse Netherworld Record, and it wasn’t just for show; Xu Yeming indeed intended to master the Eclipse Netherworld Record fully.

According to the cultivation technique’s characteristics of the Eclipse Netherworld Record, when combined with his own Xu Family bloodline, as well as the bloodline power of the Candle Dragon from the Great Wilderness Beast Heart, it would yield impressive results.

Moreover, a Soul Divergence Realm peak cultivation technique could help compensate for Xu Yeming’s own lack of offensive methods.

Of course, the Eight Desolate Ruins of the Realm God would still take precedence.

And during these days.

Besides cultivating, Xu Yeming was also trying to find clues.

According to Xu Yeming’s speculation, the death of the Miss from the Xuanyuan Clan may have involved something suspicious.

Therefore.

Previously, Xu Canghai mentioned that the current head of the Murong family was once his father’s rival for the position of head of the Xu Family.

Perhaps, this matter is related to the current head of the Xu Family?

However, it isn’t easy to meet the head of the Xu Family.

Without being summoned personally, even using the identity of Xu Luo would not allow one to meet him easily.

Hong Ying and Blackie also could not move freely within the Xu Family due to the roles they were playing, unable to effectively help Xu Yeming.

This directly led to Xu Yeming and the others having no choice but to wait earnestly for an opportunity.

However, after the evaluation of cultivation techniques, those two detestable characters, Xu Qing and Xu Han, at least did not appear in his sight anymore, which was a good thing.

This allowed Xu Yeming to cultivate in peace within the Portrait Of Emptiness for quite some time.

Successfully advancing to the fifth level of the Eclipse Netherworld Record.

Perhaps, rapidly improving his realm and demonstrating his value

could attract the attention of the head of the Xu Family, that way there would be more chances to be summoned by him.

Inside the Portrait Of Emptiness.

Blackie asked beside him: ”Junior Brother Xu, it has only been four days outside, and you have broken through again; wouldn’t this raise suspicions within the Xu Family?”

Xu Yeming shook his head and said: ”No, just as Xu Chen said before, what he said can serve as an excuse. Moreover, I don’t have much time; the longer I stay in the Xu Family, the more dangerous it becomes. Even if there are suspicions, I need to quickly change the situation.”

Hong Ying said beside him: ”Just do it as Junior Brother Xu sees fit.”

After all, this was Xu Yeming’s own affair.

He had to overcome this obstacle himself before he could truly sharpen his own blade.

”However... how to attract the attention of the upper echelons of the Xu Family? It’s not like I can just go outside and shout that I’ve broken through, right? That would be too inconsistent with the persona of Xu Luo.”

After thinking for a moment.

Xu Yeming suddenly thought of Xu Qing and Xu Han.

His eyes suddenly lit up.

I’ve got it!

And thus.

The next moment.

News of Xu Luo challenging Xu Qing spread within the Xu Family!

The reason was simple; unable to endure the sarcasm from Xu Han, Xu Luo could not hold back his desire to teach him a lesson!

Of course, others scoffed at this reason upon hearing it.

Obviously, it was because Xu Han and Xu Qing were too close, and coupled with Xu Luo’s outstanding performance in the evaluation of cultivation techniques, he could not help but want to retaliate.

Of course.

Their thoughts matched exactly with Xu Yeming’s plan.

In this way, the duel’s name was justified.

Soon.

The cultivation field was surrounded by a crowd.

Xu Yeming stood calmly at the center.

When he saw Xu Qing and Xu Han arriving together, he then opened his eyes and smiled, ”I thought you would be afraid.”

”Afraid?” Xu Qing’s expression was dark as he snorted: ”How could I be afraid? Although your realm in the Eclipse Netherworld Record is higher than mine, we are at the same cultivation realm, and there’s still a chance to defeat you.”

Xu Yeming nodded.

The other party, like the former Xu Luo, was at the fourth level of Thunder Tribulation.

However...

Xu Yeming smiled, and the aura of the Fifth Level of Thunder Tribulation burst forth!

”Sorry, but my cultivation realm has also broken through.”
