Chapter 206: Something’s Terribly Wrong!

“Don’t kneel to him!”

　　Outside, the old man shouted angrily: “Grandson, don’t worry, even if I gave him a hundred guts, he wouldn’t dare kill us. Don’t be afraid of dying!”

　　The grandson said nothing, and simply kowtowed heavily to Ye Tianming again, “Brother, please spare my life!”

　　Seeing this, the old man still wanted to say something, but Ye Tianming glanced at him and gently pressed down with his right hand. The old man was immediately suppressed and fell to the ground, unable to move.

　　This time, the other party couldn’t even speak.

　　Ye Tianming looked at the man kneeling before him and smiled, “What’s your name?”

　　Seeing that Ye Tianming had no intention of taking his grandfather’s life or his own, the man immediately breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, “Brother, my name is Tianyu, and this beside me is my sister Tianyun.”

　　Ye Tianming nodded, “Tell me in detail.”

　　Tianyu said, “It’s like this. We are a vassal family of the Tian Clan. Many years ago, we received orders to search for the Tian Clan’s young miss, because it was said that an internal conflict had once occurred within the Tian Clan, and the young miss was taken away from the clan by her servant. The Tian Clan later investigated and found that they had come here.”

　　As he spoke, he paused, then continued, “We have been searching all these years. Not long ago, we found the body of the guard who had escorted the young miss in a village at the foot of the mountain. After much inquiry, we learned that he had brought a young girl to the village back then, and that girl is…….”

　　At this point, he looked toward Canghan nearby.

　　Ye Tianming turned and glanced at Canghan, then said, “It’s her?”

　　The man nodded, “Yes. We have already notified the Tian Clan through special means, and their people will be here soon to take her.”

　　Ye Tianming asked, “What kind of clan is the Tian Clan? From the real world?”

　　Tianyu shook his head, “I’m not too sure myself. My grandfather probably knows more.”

　　Ye Tianming glanced at the old man being suppressed on the ground outside, then said, “The Tian Clan’s people are coming to take her?”

　　Tianyu nodded, “Yes, and they’ll be here very soon.”

　　As he said this, he carefully stole a glance at Ye Tianming.

　　Ye Tianming nodded, “You may go. I’ll ask the Tian Clan directly when the time comes.”

　　Tianyu felt a wave of relief wash over him. He quickly pulled the woman beside him to her feet and left. Once outside, he hurried to help the old man up, but found he couldn’t get close at all. He had no choice but to turn and look at Ye Tianming, his eyes full of pleading.

　　Ye Tianming waved his hand, and the mysterious force suppressing the old man instantly vanished, freeing him.

　　After regaining his freedom, the old man still looked utterly defiant. He immediately stood up and glared furiously at Ye Tianming, about to speak, when the young man grabbed him and ran, saying in a trembling voice as they fled, “Grandpa, don’t push it, we can’t win this one.”

　　In no time, the three of them disappeared into the distance.

　　Ye Tianming looked toward Canghan, who had remained silent the whole time, and smiled, “This is something worth being happy about, isn’t it?”

　　Canghan looked at him and said softly, “But they were the ones who abandoned me back then.”

　　Ye Tianming thought for a moment, then said, “This matter may not be so simple, because the person back then was clearly trying to protect you. So there may well be more to this story.”

　　Canghan lowered her head, “I…….”

　　Ye Tianming said, “What is it?”

　　Canghan said softly, “I don’t want to leave here.”

　　Ye Tianming smiled, “It’s not like we won’t be able to see each other again. Besides, from what they said, your background is probably quite extraordinary. Who knows, your teacher may need your help someday.”

　　Canghan was about to speak, but just then, Ye Tianming suddenly turned his head toward the horizon. From the far end of the sky, wave after wave of powerful auras came sweeping in.

　　Ye Tianming said, “They’re here.”

　　Then he looked at Canghan and smiled, “Let’s go out and meet your family.”

　　With that, he took Canghan’s hand and walked outside.

　　Once outside, above the Fomo Sect, a spatial tunnel a hundred zhang wide had opened in the sky. At the very front of that tunnel stood an old man holding a staff, dressed in a black robe covered in runic patterns. Behind him stood over a hundred powerful warriors clad in dark gold armor.

　　When they appeared in this realm, the entire world began to feel illusory.

　　The earlier trio of grandparent and grandchildren were also present. The grandfather stared at Ye Tianming with great displeasure, while the grandson Tianyu wore a face full of smiles and courtesy.

　　Canghan, standing beside Ye Tianming, was at a loss when she saw this imposing sight.

　　In the sky, the lead elder glanced at Ye Tianming, then finally let his gaze settle on Canghan.

　　Ye Tianming said, “Let’s go up.”

　　With that, he brought Canghan before the elder and the others.

　　The elder suddenly gave Canghan a slight bow, “Greetings, young miss.”

　　Canghan turned to look at Ye Tianming. Ye Tianming smiled and said, “They should be your clanspeople. Go on.”

　　Canghan kept her head down and said nothing.

　　Ye Tianming gently patted her shoulder, “Go on. Follow them, and you’ll be able to see your parents.”

　　Canghan looked up at Ye Tianming, her eyes already glistening, “Teacher, will we be able to see each other again?”

　　Ye Tianming nodded, “Definitely.”

　　Canghan said earnestly, “When I go back, I’ll train hard. One day I’ll definitely be able to help you, Teacher.”

　　Ye Tianming laughed heartily, “I’ll be waiting.”

　　Canghan suddenly gave Ye Tianming a gentle hug, her voice trembling, “Teacher, I will remember you forever.”

　　With that, she let go of Ye Tianming and walked toward the elder.

　　Canghan stepped up to the elder. The elder glanced at Ye Tianming in the distance, then looked at Canghan, “Young miss, please.”

　　With that, he led Canghan away into the distance.

　　When Canghan stepped onto the spatial tunnel, she suddenly turned back to look at Ye Tianming. Ye Tianming was smiling and waving at her.

　　Canghan managed a smile and waved back.

　　Soon, the spatial tunnel activated, and the group disappeared into the distance.

　　Watching Canghan disappear, Ye Tianming felt a touch of sadness, but it quickly turned to joy — a genuine happiness felt from the heart for Canghan.

　　He turned and walked back down. When he returned to the front of the main hall, he saw Jidian standing at the entrance watching him.

　　Ye Tianming smiled, “You haven’t left yet.”

　　Jidian stared at him, “Where’s that old dog?”

　　Ye Tianming said, “The senior had some matters to attend to, so he left.”

　　Jidian said, “I heard you’re going to compete against Yang Jia in a universe-wide contest?”

　　During this time, he had learned a few things, and what surprised him was that the person before him was actually going to fight Yang Jia to the death.

　　Ye Tianming nodded, “Yes.”

　　Jidian said, “I should warn you — watch out for those two swords in his hands.”

　　Ye Tianming gave a slight nod, “Thank you.”

　　With that, he walked into the main hall.

　　Jidian watched Ye Tianming, furrowed his brow, and after a moment of silence, turned and left as well.

　　Inside the main hall, Ye Tianming took out his senior brother’s book and began to read. After a long while, he suddenly set the ancient tome down and said, “Canghan, time to eat.”

　　No response.

　　Ye Tianming was about to call out again when suddenly, as if remembering something, he froze for a moment, then let out a soft sigh.

　　On the other side.

　　The rune-robed elder of the Tian Clan brought Canghan to a stretch of starry sky. He turned to face her, “Young miss, we need to awaken your Tian Clan bloodline.”

　　Canghan was puzzled, “Tian Clan bloodline?”

　　The robed elder nodded, “Our Tian Clan bloodline is the foremost bloodline among all the clans across the heavens. The Tian Clan bloodline within you is of the highest and purest grade. However, since you have never cultivated, the bloodline has not manifested, and we need to actively awaken it for you.”

　　Canghan hesitated slightly.

　　The robed elder said gently, “There’s nothing to fear. It will be over in a moment.”

　　Canghan nodded, “Alright.”

　　The robed elder opened his palm, and a beam of runic light shot into the sky, shattering the void and forcibly carving out a brand new spatial passage. Soon, from within that new passage, a beam of golden light fell straight down, enveloping Canghan.

　　Boom!

　　Canghan’s face turned as pale as paper, filled with terror.

　　The robed elder and the others watched Canghan with faces full of anticipation, but soon, the golden light simply vanished.

　　”Fools!”

　　A voice suddenly came from the far end of that spatial passage.

　　The robed elder’s face instantly turned as pale as paper. He spun around and glared furiously at the trio of grandparent and grandchildren nearby, roaring, “A bunch of idiots. She is not our Tian Clan’s young miss at all. There isn’t a trace of Tian Clan bloodline in her!”

　　The trio was completely stunned.

　　The grandfather’s face was filled with disbelief, “Impossible. We received confirmed information that the guard brought her…….”

　　”Silence!”

　　The robed elder let out a furious roar, and the grandfather’s physical body shattered instantly.

　　The grandfather immediately fell to his knees, trembling, “This subordinate deserves death, this subordinate deserves death…….”

　　The robed elder’s face was expressionless, “Go and search. The young miss must still be somewhere in this universe.”

　　The grandfather glanced at Canghan and said trembling, “What about her?”

　　The robed elder looked at Canghan, who stood nearby at a loss, “An ant.”

　　Canghan’s face turned as pale as paper. She was terrified beyond measure.

　　How could an ordinary person withstand the oppressive might of such a powerful being?

　　The robed elder suddenly turned to look at the trio of grandparent and grandchildren nearby and said angrily, “Why aren’t you going to search?”

　　The trio hurriedly withdrew.

　　The robed elder took a deep breath, his expression still dark.

　　If it weren’t for the fact that this place was suppressed by the Dao laws of the Guanxuan Sword Master, why would the Tian Clan need to work through three useless pawns?

　　The moment they made a move here, they would draw the suppression of the Guanxuan Sword Master’s Dao laws.

　　The robed elder looked up toward the depths of the sky, “To think that this Guanxuan Sword Master actually has some real ability…….”

　　On the other side.

　　Ye Tianming was reading in the main hall when suddenly a young man came running in. Seeing who it was, Ye Tianming was taken aback, “It’s you.”

　　The young man was none other than Tianyu.

　　Tianyu said urgently, “Brother, something’s wrong. That young lady Canghan…….”

　　With that, he quickly explained what had happened.

　　After hearing it all, Ye Tianming’s expression changed instantly. The next moment, he roared, “Xiaohun.”

　　Hum!

　　The Tianming Sword, which had been resting nearby, suddenly transformed into a streak of sword light and shot out, because Ye Tianming was already at the far end of the horizon
