Yun Fan was speechless. The old guy was already thinking of killing him before he had even started settling accounts. How could his heart be so large?
However, it was normal. After all, the old guy didn't know that he had already broken through to the middle stage of Golden Core.
As for Yang Can, at most, he had reached the peak of the early stage of Golden Core, one step away from the middle stage.
"Just you?"
Yang Can was the first to attack, charging at Yun Fan.
"Little junior brother, be careful!"
Yang Xuejian was shocked. At this moment, Yang Can had already bypassed her and was killing Yun Fan.
"Boom!"
Yang Can struck Yun Fan with a palm. The impact was enough to collapse a small mountain in an instant.
But Yun Fan stood his ground. Instead, Yang Can was forced back, revealing a look of horror.
"How can you be so strong?"
He looked at Yun Fan in disbelief. Just before, he was just a kid at the half-step Golden Core stage whom he could easily crush.
Who would have thought that after only a few days, Yun Fan had already grown to a point where even he could not shake him.
Yun Fan said, "You don't need to know this. You just need to know that you might die next!"
"Hmph! Petty tricks!"
Yang Can snorted coldly and launched another fierce attack on Yun Fan.
However, this time, Yun Fan did not remain inactive as he had before. This time, he also made a move.
With one strike.
Yang Can was sent flying back like a kite with a broken string. It was no help. With Yun Fan's current strength, facing a warrior at the early stage of Golden Core was an instant kill, without any suspense.
Yang Can also realized that he was no match for Yun Fan, and the gap between them was like a chasm.
Just as Yun Fan was about to make another move, he realized that Yang Taicang had already blocked in front of Yang Can.
Yun Fan quickly withdrew his hand. Although Yang Can was not a good person, Yang Taicang was a very good person. He could not kill Yang Taicang.
"Young friend Yun, please spare my father's life!"
Yang Taicang pleaded with Yun Fan.
Yun Fan said coldly, "You know, he and I are mortal enemies! He has also schemed against me!"
"I know!"
Yang Taicang said to Yun Fan, "Although master has schemed against you, he did not kill you himself. I know that it is right for you to kill him, but you still have to consider the eldest young lady's feelings!"
Yun Fan looked at Yang Xuejian. Cong Ge, who had recovered from his shock, did not know what to say.
On one hand, he was her junior brother, and on the other hand, he was her father. Therefore, she hesitated at this moment, not knowing whether to intercede!
Yun Fan saw this and knew that it was difficult for his sixth senior sister. Therefore, he withdrew his hand.
"Patriarch Yang, one does not become the patriarch by being ruthless and merciless. Today, for the sake of my sixth senior sister, I will let you go. But if you provoke me again, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Yun Fan said coldly.
He knew that even if he killed Yang Can, his sixth senior sister would not blame him, but he did not want to make things difficult for his sixth senior sister.
Therefore, he decided to give Yang Can a chance. As for whether he cherished it or not, that was not his business, and it depended on Yang Can himself.
Yang Can did not feel relieved. He was in a daze, doubting his life. Was his philosophy really wrong?
At this moment, he said to Yun Fan, "I will not owe you any favors. You let me go, and from today onwards, Little Xue will be the patriarch of the Yang family!"
He wanted Yang Xuejian to take the throne to offset Yun Fan's mercy.
But Yang Xuejian said, "I don't want to be the patriarch!"
In the past, she wanted to be the patriarch because Yun Fan was not strong enough. She became the patriarch of the Yang family just to better help Yun Fan.
Now that Yun Fan was so strong, she had no need to be the patriarch. She could not feel any familial affection here.
She felt that the secular Guigu was more suitable for her, and living there was what she longed for.
At this moment, Yang Taicang quickly said, "Eldest young lady, the Yang family needs you to be the patriarch, because only you can change the Yang family. I hope you will not refuse!"
Although his strength was not high, he had seen through everything. All the ancient families were starting to decline in this era.
The Yang family was no exception. Yes, it was precisely this ruthless and merciless nature that made these ancient families selfish and isolated.
He saw love and tolerance in Yang Xuejian, so in his opinion, Yang Xuejian was the most suitable person to be the patriarch.
Moreover, now was the best opportunity!
Yang Can said with a look of defeat, "Little Xue, he is right. Perhaps I was wrong before!"
Originally, Yang Can believed that his path was correct, but Yun Fan's words had enlightened him. If his previous path was correct, why was the Yang family declining?
On the contrary, after the Old Heavenly Master fell into the forbidden area, Guigu had already declined, and the disciples had dispersed.
However, because of Yun Fan's rise, the disciples of Guigu were united again and ushered in a second spring.
He absolutely did not believe that Yun Fan had united the disciples of Guigu through force. It was love, tolerance, and care.
But these were the qualities he lacked.
At this moment, Yang Can said to Yang Xuejian, "Little Xue, you must promise me to take the position of patriarch. From now on, I will no longer manage the Yang family. I just want to see the secular world!"
This was Yang Can's request. He also wanted to see the secular world and how Yun Fan had achieved this.
Yang Xuejian was still in a dilemma. At this moment, Yun Fan smiled and said, "Sixth Senior Sister, I think you are indeed suited to be the patriarch!"
"Then! Alright!"
Yang Xuejian did not refuse anymore. She knew that her strength was very weak. Only in the Yang family could she rise quickly.
Then she would have more capital to help Yun Fan.
Yang Taicang breathed a sigh of relief. He had decided that no matter how difficult it was, he would do his best to assist Yang Xuejian.
Before leaving, Yang Can met with Yun Fan.
At this moment, he asked Yun Fan, "Did you borrow the power of the demonic path to break through to this stage?"
If it was really the power of the demonic path, then he could only say it was terrifying. A young man in his early twenties had reached this stage. In the future, becoming a land immortal would not be his goal, but only a natural progression.
Transcending land immortals was the goal.
Yun Fan said, "No. First of all, I did not become a demon. Secondly, I relied on the flawless Great Return Pill left by my Guigu predecessors to advance further!"
He would naturally not admit that he had become a demon. This was his secret. In fact, the power of the demonic path had not helped him much.
It had only made his strength more profound. The real thing that helped him break through was that flawless Great Return Pill.
"So that's how it is!"
Yang Can was the first to react. A thousand years ago, wasn't it the Guigu Heavenly Master who took that demon king to their deaths together?
At the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. As long as Yun Fan had not become a demon, then his daughter and the Yang family were safe.
At this moment, Yun Fan asked, "Patriarch Yang, do you know anything about the situation of that demonic martial artist a thousand years ago?"
At this moment, he remembered the words on the stone wall. In his opinion, the truth was definitely not as simple as it appeared on the surface.
Otherwise, his Guigu predecessor would not have said that he had been used.
Yang Can shook his head and said, "I don't know. Although the Yang family is an ancient family, you also know that the real powerhouses are those sacred lands!"
"The ones who led the charge back then were those sacred lands. Therefore, those sacred lands might know the reason. We only know that that demonic martial artist had become a demon and was cruel and merciless, and had to be eliminated!" Su Dan Novels.
Yun Fan was somewhat disappointed, but not overly so. First of all, in that battle, the ancient families were not the core forces. Those ancient sacred lands were. Secondly, a thousand years had passed, and Yang Can was even less likely to know.
"That demonic martial artist who entered the demon path back then had not yet harmed the ancient families, so we don't have much record. The books only record that the sacred lands suffered heavy casualties and were difficult to suppress. Later, they invited the contemporary Guigu Heavenly Master to perish together with that demonic martial artist!"
Yang Can told Yun Fan everything he knew.
At this moment, Yun Fan said, "It seems that things are not that simple!"
He could see that the predecessor who left the writing was filled with resentment and anger, and the Guigu predecessor's writing was the same.
"However, you must be careful. Although the Ji family and the Jiang family were spreading rumors that you had become a demon, these two families have been annihilated. And you have already been labeled as a demon. Therefore, even if you explain, it will be of no use! After all, those sacred lands are more ruthless and merciless than our families. They would rather kill by mistake than let go!"
This was Yang Can's reminder to Yun Fan. What he meant was that once Yun Fan was labeled as a demon, he would have only two choices: either fight or die. He would never be believed just by explaining. The reality was so cruel.
Similarly, Yun Fan understood this, so he said, "Thank you for the reminder. Since I have already stood on their opposite side, I will continue to walk this path!"
"I will never compromise with death!"
This was Yun Fan's character.
At this moment, he asked Yang Can again, "Patriarch Yang, before I came to the Yang family, I had a battle with a woman from the Yaochi Holy Land. She had peerless beauty, like a fairy. Although she was wearing a veil, I could feel that she was very beautiful. It would not be an exaggeration to describe her as the most beautiful woman, but I was not her match. After only a few moves, I was defeated!"
Yun Fan frankly admitted that he was not her match.
Yang Can heard this and asked, "Did she not say a single word to you?"
"That's right. I even suspect that she is mute!"
Yun Fan said dejectedly.
"I know!"
Yang Can said directly, "She is the Saintess of Yaochi, known as the most beautiful woman in a thousand years!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Fan's eyes lit up. He did not expect that woman to be the Saintess of Yaochi. He admitted that she deserved the title of the most beautiful woman, as she indeed had the strength.
She was definitely not comparable to those fake "most beautiful women in a thousand years" who were constantly hyped up in the secular world. Not even her toes could compare.
What made Yun Fan even more speechless was how could the Saintess of Yaochi be so strong? He thought that the Yaochi Holy Land was at the Golden Core stage, and he was also at the Golden Core stage.
He should have been able to defeat the Saintess of Yaochi. In fact, he was no match for her at all. They were not even in the same league.
This was very unsolvable. What troubled him the most was why the Saintess of Yaochi would travel such a long distance to the secular world to abduct women related to him.
Yang Can saw Yun Fan's worry and reminded him, "It is normal that you are not her match. You should know that the Saintess of Yaochi is the most talented prodigy of the Yaochi Holy Land in a thousand years, and she is destined to reach the level of a land immortal in the future!"
If Yun Fan could defeat her, then he would be surprised.
"Let's not talk about this for now. Do you know why the Yaochi Holy Land and our Guigu sect are enemies?"
Yun Fan pressed. Previously, his father-in-law, Feng Yidao, had mentioned it, but it was not comprehensive, and he did not know the reason.
Therefore, he asked Yang Can again.
Yang Can said, "Actually, this can be traced back to the romantic affairs of the Old Heavenly Master decades ago!"
Although he did not express it verbally, he felt contempt in his heart. As expected, what kind of master would teach what kind of disciple.
The Old Heavenly Master had a lot of romantic affairs, and Yun Fan was even better than the Old Heavenly Master.
This was a typical case of the upper beam being crooked and the lower beam being twisted.
If Yun Fan knew his thoughts, he would definitely cry out in injustice.
Is it my fault for being handsome?
"It is said that the Old Heavenly Master was the most handsome man in the world when he was young! He attracted the admiration of countless beautiful women!"
Yang Can said.
"Uh..."
Thinking of his master's unkempt appearance and his constant drunkenness, he did not recognize him as the most handsome man!
Yang Can continued, "The Yaochi Holy Master at that time was also a rare beauty in the world. According to internal information, the Yaochi Holy Master and the Old Heavenly Master had a relationship back then, but in the end, the Old Heavenly Master became a heartbreaker, so the Yaochi Holy Master was enraged and vowed to personally kill the Old Heavenly Master one day!"
"Holy crap!"
Yun Fan could only exclaim. He asked awkwardly, "Patriarch Yang, is this internal information reliable?"
"It should be reliable!"
Yang Can said uncertainly, "Anyway, that's how it's spread. After all, the Yaochi Holy Master at that time broke the rules of the Yaochi Holy Land, which forbids women from marrying, and got together with the Old Heavenly Master. It has to be said that her sacrifice was also very great!"
"What she got in return was ruthless betrayal, so it is very normal for her to utter that harsh remark. Later, she did achieve it. After the Old Heavenly Master was tricked by her and fell into the forbidden area, his life and death were unknown!"
At the same time, the two of them shivered. This bloody lesson told them that it was better to offend a villain than a woman.
At this moment, Yun Fan said, "I understand!"
In his opinion, the Saintess of Yaochi dealing with him and abducting his women was probably for this hatred, but he felt wronged.
Why should he bear the consequences of the old guy's romantic debts?
However, it was too late to say this now. In the end, he had to silently bear all of it.
Afterward, Yang Can bid farewell to Yun Fan and went to the secular world. Yun Fan directly recommended him to Jiangnan. Don't forget that he had schemed against the angel.
It was fine if other angels were resurrected. After all, Yang Can was a Golden Core master. With Yang Can guarding him, it was very stable.
"Little junior brother, the Yaochi Holy Land has sent an invitation, inviting the geniuses of our Yang family to participate in the Yaochi Holy Convention! But I don't want to go, what should I do?"
Yang Xuejian was a little depressed, mainly because her strength was not good, so she would not gain anything even if she went.
The Yaochi Holy Convention was held once every ten years and was very grand. It invited the geniuses from various forces in the small world, but those geniuses started at the half-step Golden Core stage. She, a martial artist at the Foundation Establishment realm, was not good enough.
Yang Taicang said, "Eldest young lady, you don't need to worry. It's fine if you don't go. After all, many forces do not send their geniuses every year. Not every genius has the strength of the Golden Core realm!"
Upon hearing this, Yang Xuejian finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, Yun Fan had his own ideas, so he asked Yang Taicang, "Old Yang, if I replace my sixth senior sister, will it bring disaster to the Yang family?"
"No!"
Yang Taicang said directly, "The Yaochi Holy Convention sent many invitations. They don't recognize people, only invitations. As long as you have an invitation, they will not make things difficult. If you don't have an invitation, then even if you are outstanding, they will not let you in. Therefore, some geniuses who are very powerful but do not have invitations often snatch others' invitations!"
"That's easy then. As long as I disguise myself, I can sneak in!"
Yun Fan was worried about not finding a way to save people, but now, for him, it might be an opportunity. As long as he seized this opportunity, saving people would not be so unrealistic.
