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

Chapter 1704: Chapter 1704: Xun Ningyuan’s Suspicion, Heading to the Xuanyuan Clan

It must be said that one cannot simply be an ordinary person to sit in the position of the head of the Xu Family.

Their vision and intellect must have their own unique features.

Otherwise, how could they possibly control such an ancient aristocratic family with millions or even tens of millions of years of heritage?

They couldn’t possibly stand out from among other highly talented candidates for succession without reason.

Although some underhanded methods may have been used.

But... even underhanded methods, as long as they lead to success, are good methods.

Only the victor has the right to discuss what is right and wrong.

Naturally, the Xu Family does not care about this; as long as your methods can bring success, it means you have the qualifications to become the head of the family, otherwise you could only wait to be devoured by other aristocratic families and sects!

The cultivation world is such a cruel place.

Not to mention the Chaos Realm, which is even more chaotic.

Xun Ningyuan’s eyes, sharp as an eagle’s, kept scanning over Xu Yeming as if seeing through him completely.

Standing before Xun Ningyuan, Xu Yeming felt as if he had been stripped bare.

However, with previous experience traveling among various Beast Race powers on the Demon Beast Continent while concealing his identity, coupled with the surge of various bloodline powers within him,

he was able to barely maintain his composure without revealing any flaws.

It’s just that under such breath and gaze pressure, maintaining one’s state of mind is extremely difficult, and even his qi and blood begin to surge!

By forcibly stabilizing his state of mind, the Five Organs and Six Orifices shook and he grew slightly pale. Raising his head to look at Xun Ningyuan, he met his gaze and said, ”Nothing happened, I just felt that since it was a place where Xu Yeming had lived, it might be possible to find some clues there.

After all, just waiting there foolishly wouldn’t reflect any value.”

”Oh?” said Xun Ningyuan, raising an eyebrow with interest, ”Did you find any clues?”

Xu Yeming nodded and said, ”I merely learned about their purpose in going to Cangxuan Academy.”

”Let’s hear it.”

Xu Yeming did not lie, but told the truth: ”They went to Cangxuan Academy to search for clues about his father, but I do not know how far they have progressed.”

Very few people knew that Xu Canghai had spent time at Cangxuan Academy in the past.

After all, Xu Canghai had concealed his tracks when he went there.

So, when Xu Yeming revealed this, Xun Ningyuan couldn’t help but nod, ”Although this clue is very general, it is still better than nothing.”

After speaking, that cold gaze also swept over the Purple Fire Domain God and the walking-stick elder.

The Purple Fire Domain God couldn’t help but lower his head in embarrassment; as a powerful being of the Domain God Realm, he had failed to capture a minor from the Divine Realm who was undergoing a lightning tribulation.

No wonder Xun Ningyuan was dissatisfied with him.

Xun Ningyuan turned his gaze back to Xu Yeming and said, ”I am aware of what you have done these past few days. Since you have proven your strength, it’s only right that you get more resources.

However... these are not for you to take for nothing.”

Xu Yeming’s heart tightened, and he immediately asked, ”What are your orders, head of the family?”

Xun Ningyuan nodded and said, ”You’ve heard of Sky Heart Valley, haven’t you?”

Xu Yeming hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

”Well, then later on, you will accompany the Purple Fire Tributor for a trip. Consider it a sort of tempering experience. Sky Heart Valley also contains some opportunities; it would be best if you can obtain them,” Xun Ningyuan waved his hand, signaling Xu Yeming to go back and wait for the news of departure.

After Xu Yeming disappeared from the sight of the elders,

Xun Ningyuan looked at the Purple Fire Domain God and asked, ”How is it?”

The Purple Fire Domain God looked in the direction Xu Yeming left and then shook his head, ”No abnormalities. There are no signs of being possessed or of Xu Canghai’s son’s aura. The bloodline essence within him is still that of Xu Luo’s.”

The other elders felt a chill in their hearts upon hearing this.

It turned out that Xun Ningyuan was doubting Xu Luo’s identity!

But that’s normal. After this incident, the extent of Xu Luo’s strength increase was far too abnormal.

It already exceeded what could be explained by talent alone.

Perhaps, it can only be explained by hidden strength and a moment of enlightenment.

Xun Ningyuan nodded upon hearing the reasoning of the Purple Fire Domain God, but he did not relax his vigilance. Instead, he said, ”You should keep an eye on him too, and if he shows any signs, immediately seal his strength and bring him back.

Remember, do not give him any chance!”

The Purple Fire Domain God nodded, ”I understand.”

”Alright, make preparations and we will set off tomorrow.”

After saying this, Xun Ningyuan disappeared on the spot, his presence completely gone, as if he had never been there.

After Xun Ningyuan disappeared.

The cane-wielding elder couldn’t help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

He hadn’t considered this point before. Now, recalling what Xun Ningyuan said, he realized that the recent events surrounding Xu Luo were indeed unusual.

If it really is as Xun Ningyuan described.

The consequences would not be something he could bear.

...

Meanwhile, Xu Yeming immediately returned to his small courtyard.

On the way, he encountered Xu Qing, who looked listless. On seeing Xu Yeming, Xu Qing remained silent, just slightly lowered her head and sidestepped to leave.

Xu Yeming didn’t make much of it and, after returning to his courtyard, began discussing the matter with Hong Ying and Blackie.

”It seems, Junior Brother Xu, you are at risk of being discovered at any time,” Hong Ying frowned slightly and said: ”It’s just that you stood out too much before, arousing their suspicions.”

Blackie simply shrugged, ”If discovered, so be it. We can still look for clues elsewhere, it will just be a bit more troublesome.”

Hong Ying rolled her eyes at Blackie upon hearing this, thinking how he really didn’t know what fear was!

Xu Yeming, somewhat amused and exasperated, said, ”I was prepared for this possibility from the start. If I hadn’t acted this way, it might have taken a much longer time. I hope to gain something from this trip to Sky Heart Valley.”

He also understood that Xun Ningyuan sending him to Sky Heart Valley was in part because he got wind of Xu Yeming’s purpose in going to Cangxuan Academy; hence, he must have assumed Xu Yeming had clues about Sky Heart Valley and might go to that place.

On the other hand, it was to test him.

So, Xu Yeming was aware of the risks involved.

However... risk always comes with opportunity.

He would inevitably make a trip to Sky Heart Valley sooner or later, where he might find the clues.

...

After some discussion, the next day arrived quickly.

Owing to the special nature of the trip, Blackie and Hong Ying, disguised as guards and maids, could not accompany him. However, they were inside the Portrait Of Emptiness, and the Portrait Of Emptiness was within Xu Yeming’s interspatial ring...

Arriving at the Xu Family’s main gate, the Purple Fire Domain God, the cane-wielding elder, and... Xu Chen were already waiting outside.

The Purple Fire Domain God saw Xu Yeming approaching and said indifferently, ”First, we will go to the Xuanyuan Clan. Someone from the Xuanyuan Clan also wishes to join the journey.”

The Xuanyuan Clan?

Xu Yeming felt puzzled.

It wasn’t strange for the Xuanyuan Clan to want to join the journey, but... why purposefully make a trip to the Xuanyuan Clan?
