Ao Yu waved his hand and said,
"You are carrying your brother, making it difficult for you to leave safely. Just go on your own, and don't forget to take revenge for me and our father."
After saying this, Ao Yu weakly closed his eyes, exuding an overwhelming sense of resentment. At this moment, if he had the ability, he would surely fight Aotian to the death.
Aofeng's eyes turned slightly red, and then he firmly said,
"Brother, don't worry. I will definitely remember this deep-seated hatred!"
As he spoke, a chilling aura spread in Aofeng's eyes.
"Kekeke, the resentment from both of you is truly intense..."
Suddenly, a strange laughter echoed in the room. Then, a figure shrouded in a black robe appeared mysteriously in the room.
The figure wore a black cloak that concealed their face, and their voice sounded very peculiar, making it impossible to determine whether they were male or female or what their identity was.
"Who are you?" Aofeng exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the newcomer and instinctively took a step back.
Meanwhile, Ao Yu, who had his eyes tightly shut, suddenly opened them and looked warily at the mysterious figure in black.
"Kekeke, it doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that I can help you kill the person you want to kill," the figure in the black robe said with a sinister smile.
Hearing this, Aofeng's expression brightened as he asked,
"Can you help us kill Aotian?"
"Kekeke, I cannot personally kill him; otherwise, those bastards in Xuantian Academy would notice. However, I can grant you immense power so that you can suppress Aotian with a mere gesture."
Upon hearing the first half of the black-robed person's words, the two brothers showed disappointment. But when the latter part was spoken, they trembled with excitement.
"Kekeke, are you two interested?"
The two brothers exchanged a glance, both seeing the resentment in each other's eyes. They then nodded simultaneously and respectfully addressed the figure in black robes:
"Senior, as long as you grant us the power to slay Aotian, we will serve you without hesitation, willing to go through fire and water for you!"
"Kekeke, congratulations on making the right decision!"
The figure in black laughed eerily and waved his sleeve. Suddenly, the Ao Yu brothers vanished mysteriously.
The figure in black also transformed into a streak of black light, shooting out of the window and soaring into the sky at an astonishing speed, unnoticed by anyone.
At this moment, a great fire raged within the Zheng Family, flames gradually spreading throughout the Zheng Family Mansion. Outside the Zheng Family, countless people gathered to watch, knowing that the colossal Zheng Family of Ning City had been completely reduced to ashes.
The names Aojia, Young Master, and Aotian had truly become renowned throughout Fengyun Nation. While it might not be surprising to destroy the Zheng Family, doing so while Zheng Kongqiang, a Spirit Realm Martial Artist, was present made it quite remarkable.
After all, Human Spirit Realm practitioners were considered dominant figures within Fengyun Nation. The fall of any Human Spirit Realm warrior would undoubtedly stir up significant waves within Fengyun Nation.
However, what was truly astonishing was not just this news but that Bai Xin of Ice River Sect had been defeated by Aotian.
Who is Bai Xin? He is one of the Four Young Masters of Fengyun in Fengyun Nation, a true pinnacle among the younger generation. Yet this outstanding figure was defeated by a mere youth; how could such news not shock everyone?
At the same time, Aotian's actions within Azure Cloud Sect's territory spread throughout Fengyun Nation, leaving people utterly dumbfounded.
Azure Cloud Sect could be considered a giant within Fengyun Nation; however, Aotian stirred up chaos there, slaying numerous Azure Cloud Sect experts and ultimately managing to escape unscathed. Such explosive news left everyone in shock.
Aotian's reputation grew larger and larger, gaining many admirers within Fengyun Nation. He himself was revered as one of the Four Young Masters of Fengyun, taking Bai Xin's place.
Of course, while many admired Aotian's deeds, there were also many who felt pity for him. The enemies he had provoked were simply too powerful; they did not believe Aotian could grow safely from here on out.
Aotian's actions within Azure Cloud Sect's sphere undoubtedly crossed their bottom line. Based on Azure Cloud Sect's past behavior, they would never let Aotian off easily.
Moreover, having insulted Bai Xin and then killed Zheng Kongqiang in Ning City would surely infuriate the massive Ice River Sect as well.
After all, Bai Xin is the Young Master of the Ice River Sect, and stepping out of the Ice River Sect is equivalent to being a symbol of the sect. Aotian's actions towards Bai Xin undoubtedly humiliated him, which infringed upon the dignity of the Ice River Sect.
Moreover, Zheng Kongqiang is a disciple of the Ice River Sect's leader. Aotian killing Zheng Kongqiang was akin to delivering a hard slap to the face of the Ice River Sect's leader. Therefore, everyone had little hope for Aotian's future.
The crowd quietly observed, as they did not believe that the Azure Cloud Sect and Ice River Sect would remain indifferent towards Aotian. It was possible that in just a few days, Ning City and the Aojia would be completely wiped out by these two giants.
Time slowly passed, and several days went by in the blink of an eye. What surprised people was that both the Azure Cloud Sect and Ice River Sect showed no signs of action at all.
The former could be understood, as Aojia was outside their sphere of influence; they had to consider the repercussions if they wanted to destroy Aojia. However, it was puzzling that the latter remained indifferent as well.
After all, strictly speaking, Aojia belonged to the territory of the Ice River Sect. It was clearly not difficult for the Ice River Sect to annihilate a small Aojia.
"What’s going on? Hasn't the Ice River Sect received any news?"
"I don't know; it's truly perplexing that the Ice River Sect hasn't made any move."
"I think this is just the calm before the storm; perhaps the Ice River Sect is preparing a deadly strike!"
"I’m not so sure. Do you think it could be that the Ice River Sect is concerned about Aotian and Bai Xin's duel?"
"Hey, brother, what kind of joke are you making? Aotian killed a disciple of the Ice River Sect's leader; how could such hatred be suppressed by an unfounded verbal duel? Besides, while the duel only stated that the Ice River Sect wouldn't interfere in matters between Zheng Ao and his family, it didn't say they couldn't seek revenge for Zheng Kongqiang."
"Exactly, let's just wait patiently; I believe the Ice River Sect will act soon..."
Despite all the external discussions, both the Azure Cloud Sect and Ice River Sect still showed no signs of movement, as if they hadn’t heard any news at all.
Time flew by like a fleeting shadow; several more days passed quietly. However, neither the Ice River Sect nor Azure Cloud Sect took any measures. This left everyone confused and secretly lamenting Aotian's formidable power.
Most people now believed that Aotian must have some unknown yet extremely powerful trump card, which is why both the Ice River Sect and Azure Cloud Sect chose to avoid conflict.
However, very few believed this theory. After all, if these two giants were determined to annihilate Aojia, no matter how Heaven-Defying Aotian's methods were, he would likely not escape disaster.
Today, the doubts in everyone's hearts were completely resolved.
A message spread from Xuantian Academy, and its content was simple yet shocking. It essentially stated that Aojia's backing is Xuantian Academy; anyone who dares to take action against Aojia is an enemy of Xuantian Academy, which will do everything in its power to annihilate the aggressor.
No wonder Aojia has remained safe and sound until now; it turns out that Xuantian Academy stands behind him. Everyone couldn't help but feel enlightened.
Xuantian Academy's status in Fengyun Nation is self-evident; even the Ice River Sect and Azure Cloud Sect are inferior to Xuantian Academy in terms of foundation.
If Xuantian Academy is determined to protect Aojia, then even the strong Azure Cloud Sect and Ice River Sect would not dare to act recklessly.
After understanding why Aojia could stand firm, people couldn't help but feel a mix of envy and jealousy. Of course, no matter how others envied him, it was something they could never attain, as it is directly linked to one's own capabilities.
Xuantian Academy has always maintained a transcendent position within Fengyun Nation and generally does not release news like today. However, now that it has done so, there must be a reason behind it.
Ultimately, everything stems from Aotian. If it weren't for Aotian's astonishing strength and the potential that caught the attention of Xuantian Academy's higher-ups, how could Xuantian Academy stand up for Aotian and protect Aojia?
In essence, Aojia's current situation is largely due to Aotian's contributions. Because of Aotian, Aojia has been preserved and gained fame in Fengyun Nation.
The members of Aojia are clearly aware of this point and hold an almost fanatical admiration for Aotian. Especially among the younger generation of Aojia members, their admiration for Aotian borders on blind worship.
However, regardless of how others view Aotian, he remains indifferent. In his eyes, only strength matters.
Facing the Ice River Sect and Azure Cloud Sect while still being restrained undoubtedly indicates that he is still weak at this moment. Therefore, Aotian's desire for strength has grown even stronger.
In these past few days, Aotian's injuries have mostly healed, and his combat power has returned to its peak state. He even feels that he has qualified to challenge the Innate Nine Levels.
It must be said that practical combat is the best way to enhance a martial artist's cultivation. The battle between Aotian and Bai Xin, a prominent figure in Fengyun Nation, has greatly benefited him. His practical experience and martial insights have undoubtedly advanced by leaps and bounds.
At this moment, Aojia is bustling with activity as countless martial artists come to visit, aiming to get closer to one of the new generation's Four Young Masters of Fengyun—Aotian.
However, Aotian is not interested in such matters at all; he prefers to stay quietly in his room while all the attention is drawn towards him.
At this moment, Aotian sat cross-legged on the bed, the Heaven Devouring Seal continuously emanating a devouring power, helping Aotian absorb the Heaven and Earth Profound Qi more quickly.
After a long while, Aotian let out a long breath, his eyes shimmering with brilliance that resonated deeply.
"It's about time; I can try to break through to the Innate Nine Levels now..."
Feeling the surging energy within him, Aotian murmured.
He then took out a large amount of Mysterious Origin Stones from his Storage Ring, preparing to break through to the Innate Peak realm.
Mysterious Origin Stones are formed from pure Heaven and Earth Profound Qi, and for martial artists, a large quantity of Mysterious Origin Stones is equivalent to some Elixirs.
Many martial artists also choose to use Mysterious Origin Stones when breaking through their cultivation realms. This is also why Mysterious Origin Stones have become the main currency in the Dragon God World.
Aotian had slain numerous Qingyun Sect High-Ranking Officials in the northern part of Fengyun Nation, and each of these individuals had vast amounts of Mysterious Origin Stones in their Storage Rings.
Naturally, Aotian would not let go of "dead men's wealth," which is why the number of Mysterious Origin Stones in his Storage Ring had reached a terrifying figure.
