Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"Old Chen!"

Seeing Chen Jinnan shield Ren Tianxing from a fatal sword strike with his own body, Han Che, who was also badly injured, got up from the ground not far away. His old face was full of rage, and he could not hide his murderous aura. "Damn Yun family traitors...!"

"How dare you, how dare you...!"

As the top expert in Luochuan Prefecture, Han Che was quite old, several generations older than Chen Jinnan, the commander of the Imperial Guards. However, the two were very close friends and had even been drinking buddies for many years.

Therefore, seeing Chen Jinnan die tragically at the hands of the Yun family rebels, Han Che naturally could not remain calm and was completely enraged!

"Chen Jinnan..."

Compared to Han Che's immediate outburst of rage, Ren Tianxing, who had narrowly escaped death, remained unusually calm, showing no sign of emotional fluctuation. "I will absolutely not let you sacrifice yourself in vain...!"

Ren Tianxing frowned, his fists clenched tightly beneath his dragon robe, as if he were deliberately suppressing the anger in his heart.

As the saying goes, a general should not wage war out of anger!

Therefore, even though Ren Tianxing was furious at the moment, he did not lose his rationality.

Because compared to avenging Chen Jinnan, the most important thing right now is to quell the Yun family rebellion and resist the siege of the remnants of the Wusheng Sect!

"Father, the dog emperor has lost another henchman. This is truly a cause for great joy..."

After killing Chen Jinnan with a single sword strike, Yun Ting descended from the sky once more, slowly landing in front of Yun Xiaotian. His face remained calm and composed, as if he had merely crushed an ant with a flick of his wrist.

After all, he is now a half-step Yuanhai Realm expert, while Chen Jinnan, who died beside him, was only at the fifth level of the Spirit Soul Realm. Naturally, he was no match for him!

"Ting'er, well done."

Yun Xiaotian glanced at Yun Ting beside him, then twirled his rat-like mustache. A rare look of satisfaction appeared on his lewd and ugly face, as if he thought highly of his eldest son.

As the head of the Yun family, the most prestigious family in Dongyun Kingdom, Yun Xiaotian himself is ugly and short, but his eldest son, Yun Ting, is naturally handsome and has an extraordinary temperament, making him a true beauty.

In addition, Yun Ting's talent and comprehension are also extraordinary. Although he is only in his early thirties, his cultivation has already reached the half-step Yuanhai Realm, which is more than ten times stronger than his good-for-nothing second son, Yun Haoxuan!

Therefore, seeing Yun Ting's outstanding combat performance, Yun Xiaotian was naturally gratified, feeling that there was someone to carry on the legacy.

"I dare not accept such praise!"

Faced with Yun Xiaotian's praise, Yun Ting showed no arrogance or complacency. He simply cupped his hands in greeting and said, "My achievements today are inseparable from Father's guidance. Right now, I've merely done what I should be doing..."

"Hahaha! You truly are my good son...!"

He laughed heartily again, a strange glint in his eyes. His tone was slightly wistful as he said, "It's a pity that one dragon can't give birth to two tigers. If that good-for-nothing brat Haoxuan were as excellent as you, his elder brother, I would have no regrets..."

Not far away, a gaunt figure in a green robe slowly reappeared.

"Damn it! These two guys are riding high on their success, they've even forgotten all the credit I, the protector, have received..."

Seeing that the Yun family father and son completely ignored him, Liao Fusheng frowned slightly, and then put the purple gourd back in his hand, seemingly feeling somewhat displeased.

Because the reason why the Yun family father and son have become so powerful is entirely due to his strong support as the Poison Protector of the Wusheng Sect!

"Tch! If it weren't for the Venerable One's order, how could a bunch of ants from a small, remote country in the Eastern Xuan Region have obtained the life-defying elixir that I, the Protector, have meticulously crafted..."

Liao Fusheng glanced once more at the Yun family father and son not far away, then seemed to remember something, a sinister sneer appearing on his lips. "Very well! For the sake of the Holy Church's revival, this protector will reluctantly play along with you bunch of ants from small countries..."

"In any case, you bunch of ants will ultimately become stepping stones for the revival of the Holy Church...!"

...

Outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the atmosphere gradually became tense.

"So this person has been hiding their true strength all along...!"

Ren Tianxing glanced at Yun Ting, who was standing not far away with an imposing aura and holding a spirit sword, and his expression became even more solemn.

At this moment, he finally understood why Yun Ting had not made a move during Ren Xuanfei's coming-of-age ceremony, and why he had suddenly resigned due to illness halfway through.

It turns out that all of this was part of the Yun family's rebellion plan, and also to make Ren Tianxing and Chen Jinnan and others lower their guard.

However, what puzzled Ren Tianxing the most was how Yun Ting managed to break through to the half-step Yuanhai Realm in just one year!

It should be noted that even a year ago, Yun Ting was only at the fifth level of the Spirit Soul Realm, almost on par with Chen Jinnan, the former commander of the Imperial Guard. Now, the former's breakthrough speed is simply monstrous!

"Your Majesty, it seems that we two are destined to die here today..."

With a leap, Xu Liancheng landed to Ren Tianxing's left. He grinned, a look of relief crossing his face, as if he had completely resigned himself to his fate.

After all, there was less than an incense stick's time before the effects of the Poison Cleansing Pill wore off, and he and Ren Tianxing were already at their limit, exhausted. It was simply unrealistic for them to turn the tide and kill Yun Xiaotian and Liao Fusheng, two Yuanhai Realm experts!

Moreover, Yun Ting, standing to the side, was no pushover either. With his cultivation at the half-step Yuanhai Realm, he was more than capable of sweeping away all the young masters from aristocratic families and righteous experts present!

"Is Ren Tianxing's Yuan Qi aura becoming increasingly weak?"

Seemingly sensing something as well, Liao Fusheng's gaze shifted, finally settling on Ren Tianxing, who was covered in blood not far away. His eyes narrowed slightly. "Hmph, it seems that Xu's Poison Cleansing Pill isn't truly invincible after all; it also has a time limit..."

Thinking of this, Liao Fusheng also stepped forward, then looked at the Yun family father and son beside him, "Hehe, the Yun family head is unparalleled in strength, and now with the help of young master Yun Ting, the situation is almost settled."

"I suppose there's no need for me to intervene further?"

Liao Fusheng said in a low, melancholy tone.

"Protector Liao is too kind."

Upon hearing this, Yun Xiaotian flicked his sleeves and said, "The reason why I and the entire Yun family are where we are today is entirely due to the strong support of Protector Liao and the Holy Sect. When I destroy the Ren clan and unify the Eastern Yun Kingdom, I will repay them tenfold!"

"Father, as the saying goes, 'Why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut?' Dealing with someone as insignificant as Ren Tianxing doesn't require your personal intervention at all..."

Just as Yun Xiaotian was about to make his move, Yun Ting suddenly stepped forward, stopping him. "Let me take this dog emperor's head for you now!"

"Hehe, very good."

Seeing that Yun Ting was going to help him, Yun Xiaotian nodded slightly, his face showing appreciation.

"stop!"

Suddenly, another angry roar came, interrupting Yun Ting's intention to make a move, and also making everyone present feel a chill, turning their heads to look.

"Stop it, all of you!"

Suddenly, a figure in brocade robes broke through the encirclement and fought his way to the Yun family father and son. His face was full of disbelief. It was Yun Haoxuan, the second young master of the Yun family and Yun Ting's younger brother.

"Haoxuan!"

"Second brother?"

Upon seeing that the newcomer was Yun Haoxuan, not only were Yun Xiaotian and Yun Ting taken aback, but even the Poison Protector Liao Fusheng beside them showed surprise, seemingly somewhat unexpected, "This kid is Yun Xiaotian's good-for-nothing son?"

"Tsk tsk, after more than twenty years of cultivation, his cultivation level is only barely at the eighth level of the Meridian Opening Realm. He's really quite a waste..."

A playful smile appeared on Liao Fusheng's lips.

After all, this second young master of the Yun family was not only far inferior to Yun Ting in all aspects, but also had a low profile within the Yun family, almost like a nobody, no different from ordinary spoiled brats from aristocratic families.

Therefore, even the Yun family warriors and the Fengbo Tower spy didn't usually pay much attention to Yun Haoxuan, this spoiled brat.

"Father, elder brother, why have you allied yourselves with these demonic cultists?!"

"Could it be that all your usual talk about the irreconcilable conflict between good and evil, and all your earnest teachings, were just lies to me...?"

Yun Haoxuan looked excited, seemingly unable to believe that his trusted father and elder brother had actually colluded with the remnants of the Wusheng Demonic Sect and even rebelled in public!
