The two continued speaking as they arrived at the Qingyang Manor outside the city.
Ji Yuan had previously observed from afar that the mountain had a Mountain Protection Array, estimated to be a Tier Two Array, which would not be easy to deal with if he were to co alone.
But with Yang Dianfeng accompanying him, he easily entered the manor.
If Ji Yuan’s cultivation were slightly higher, even if they were at the sa Foundation Establishnt early stage, it wouldn’t be so easy to get in, yet he was rely at the Qi Cultivation Stage... the Yang Family had no suspicion.
Moreover, upon entering, he discovered the Yang Family’s exterior appeared solid, but internally it was extrely loose.
It’s likely they never imagined anyone would dare attack them within the Water Dragon Sect’s territory.
Ji Yuan had planned to be settled down and investigated before eting Yang Shunan at the Yang Family, but unexpectedly, after arriving, Yang Dianfeng had him sit in a side hall for a mont while he went to report.
After waiting for no more than the ti it takes for a cup of tea, he returned.
"Brother Qiu, mission accomplished."
"The patriarch is in the mansion; he heard you wish to join our Yang Family, and wants to et you now." Yang Dianfeng rushed in excitedly.
"Oh? That’s great news."
Ji Yuan stood up, rubbing his hands, looking quite pleased.
"Brother Qiu, co with ."
Yang Dianfeng led the way, passing through several courtyards before reaching the mountain summit of Qingyang Mountain, where there was a grand hall comparable to the Chulong Hall.
’Damn, this Foundation Establishnt clan is extravagant; if it were a Golden Core clan, it would be unimaginable.’
Ji Yuan looked at the gold-lined columns, carved with dragons and phoenixes, and couldn’t help but grumble inwardly.
Once he entered the grand hall, he saw a tall, middle-aged man sitting at the main seat, his face slightly gloomy, with temples showing a touch of white, and the left earlobe missing half.
Beside him sat a young man who bore so resemblance, but from appearances, was much older than Ji Yuan.
Additionally, there were many maidservants in the room.
All of them were beautiful in appearance and figure, and each had cultivation.
’Tsk, truly corrupt.’
Ji Yuan stepped forward, cupping his hands, "Loose Cultivator Qiu Qianhai from Hebei greets Patriarch Yang."
This Hebei naturally refers to the area north of the Starfall River.
"Oh? A young friend from the north."
Yang Shunan, upon hearing this, showed so interest.
"Indeed."
Ji Yuan rose and nodded.
"Co, Young Friend Qiu, sit down and let’s talk."
Yang Shunan pointed to the position opposite the young man on his right.
Ji Yuan didn’t hesitate and strode over, sitting down heavily.
Yang Shunan secretly nodded at the sight... judging by the reaction, he probably isn’t here to cause trouble.
Yang Dianfeng outside had already bowed and left.
"Young Friend Qiu, at such an age and with this cultivation, mustn’t be from a typical loose cultivator background?" Yang Shunan, holding a tea cup, gently rubbed it while asking.
"No, I am also from a Foundation Establishnt clan. If Patriarch Yang is afraid and unwilling to accept , Qiu Mou will leave now without a second word."
Ji Yuan spoke straightforwardly.
anwhile, his gaze scanned the nurous maidservants inside the room; too many people, not good for acting.
"Young Friend Qiu, there’s no need for such words."
Yang Shunan chuckled, "Since Young Friend Qiu has co to our Yang Family, you must have so understanding. Let alone Foundation Establishnt clans from Hebei, even here in Henan by the Water Dragon Sect, our Yang Family fears none."
Upon hearing this, Ji Yuan’s face showed a smile.
"Excellent, truly worthy of Patriarch Yang; quick and to the point. I, Qiu Mou, have not chosen the wrong person!"
Yang Shunan couldn’t help but laugh heartily at Ji Yuan’s forthright words.
"In that case, Young Friend Qiu may as well tell us what brought you across the Starfall River to visit the Water Dragon Sect here?"
"This..."
Ji Yuan seed hesitating upon hearing this.
His gaze swept over the many maidservants present.
Reluctant to speak.
"You all leave."
Yang Shunan waved his hand, the maidservants perford a deep curtsy before gradually exiting the grand hall.
"Alright, Young Friend Qiu, you may speak now."
Yang Shunan stroked his beard with a smile.
Ji Yuan’s gaze shifted to the young man opposite.
"This is my son, Yang Yunxiang. Yunxiang, greet Young Friend Qiu."
Yang Shunan introduced.
Indeed, Yang Shunan was sowhat surprised and pleased by Ji Yuan’s visit.
A cultivator at the peak of Qi Cultivation willing to join the Yang Family was already a delight, and Ji Yuan’s age further heightened the joy.
With so nurturing, he would likely beco a Foundation Establishnt cultivator.
When that ti cos, even if Qiu Qianhai establishes his own independence, it won’t matter.
After all, he’s a talent erging from the Yang Family, the familial bond properly handled could elevate the Yang Family significantly.
"Greetings, Brother Qiu."
Yang Yunxiang rose and cupped his fists towards Ji Yuan.
Seeing his dignified appearance, Ji Yuan wouldn’t have imagined such a nature; once desired, he would stop at nothing to obtain it... Brother, your father is not a Nascent Soul cultivator!
"So, Young Master Yang, my apologies."
Ji Yuan quickly stood and returned the salute.
This ti, he didn’t sit back down. Instead, he turned to Yang Shunan and cupped his hands, slowly stating: "It’s naturally to... kill you!"
"What..."
Before Yang Shunan could react, a mountain-like giant black shadow appeared before him. This shadow, upon materializing, smashed the roof of the grand hall. The massive body ca down with a powerful suction force, preventing him from casting spells or rembering to deploy magical artifacts, his vision darkened as if sucked into a whirlpool.
Together with him, Yang Yunxiang was swallowed.
Ji Yuan was montarily astonished at how smoothly things progressed.
No, I haven’t killed anyone yet... Ji Yuan hastily gestured, "Spit them out, spit them out!"
The Big Toad hesitated briefly, then opened its mouth to spit out two storage bags, knowing they were valuable.
Ji Yuan first paused, disregarding the filth upon them, promptly storing them.
"And the people, spit them out too!"
Ji Yuan spoke quickly, fearing if delayed, they’d be refined by the Big Toad.
For he had witnessed the Big Toad’s digestion ability; a pig down wouldn’t last the ti for a cup of tea before disappearing entirely.
The Big Toad, though puzzled, opened its mouth again, expelling two figures.
In only a few breaths, while previously addressing Ji Yuan as "Brother Qiu," Yang Yunxiang’s body lay rotting, resembling a dead dog.
On the other side, the early Foundation Yang Shunan was "much more formidable," having survived sowhat after being refined by the late-stage Tier Two Big Toad.
He lay on the ground, struggling to rise, but repeatedly failing.
Ji Yuan dared not delay and imdiately cast a Tier Two low-grade Thousand Sword Talisman he obtained from the ancestor of the Water Dragon Sect.
Sword Qi swept horizontally, and Yang Shunan, in his initial Foundation Establishnt, stood no chance to resist, instantly perishing.
Ji Yuan tossed two fireballs, instantly igniting the bodies in fierce flas.
Among them, Yang Shunan’s corpse flared more brightly... indeed, Foundation Establishnt cultivators are quite remarkable, distinct even in death.
Under the flickering flas, Ji Yuan’s face remained calm, his eyes as tranquil as an ancient well.
"Pippi Toad, let’s go!"
Ji Yuan retrieved the Spirit Beast Bag, taking the Big Toad, and swiftly activated the Thunder Falcon Boat, disappearing like a purple lightning bolt.
Perhaps because Ji Yuan acted swiftly and eradicated Yang Shunan imdiately, the Tier Two Array was never even activated.
Killed in one strike, swiftly fled.
Before leaving, Ji Yuan didn’t forget to summon the interface for a glance.
