The crowd was stunned, having never witnessed such shamelessness. What about the dignity of a genius? Shouldn't one rely on oneself and prove their worth through experience?
Long Xin shot a cold glance at Yun Zhi Yue and said, "You can't possibly hide away forever. We're waiting for you out here."
Feeling frustrated, the crowd retreated. It was then that Yun Zhi Yue landed in front of Han Xi and handed over the Chaos Pearl.
She was indeed a beauty; no wonder my brother had his eyes on her. But don't take it too seriously—he's quite the scoundrel.
Han Xi's gaze shifted slightly. "The brother you're talking about is Yun Shijiu?"
"Yes, he's the third in our family. Didn't he mention me to you?" Yun Zhi Yue replied.
Han Xi remained silent, but Qiu Yu beside her had a strange expression. "Yun Shijiu did say he had siblings, but he claimed to be the eldest."
Yun Zhi Yue couldn't help but laugh in anger. "That little rascal is trying to turn things upside down! How has he been?"
The expressions of both women darkened, and Yun Zhi Yue furrowed her brow. Indeed, that boy had gotten himself into trouble.
They helped each other up and found a place to settle down temporarily to stabilize their injuries before discussing further.
Yun Shijiu's entry into the Han She Clan meant entering the Heavenly Realm. With his astonishing talent and the support of the Han She Clan, he was quickly approaching Heavenly Peak, which drew the attention of many powerful clans.
The Han She Clan had once been glorious but gradually declined due to their ventures into the Imperial Realm and facing oppression from the Dragon Clan.
Naturally, attracting such a genius from the lower realms would raise eyebrows, and many clans were eager to recruit him. Only the Dragon Clan sent assassins after Yun Shijiu.
Unexpectedly, he managed to turn the tables and kill them instead, but he was gravely injured and on the brink of death. In desperation, he consumed a Dragon Clan corpse, which backfired due to its bloodline, leaving him unconscious and his life force dwindling.
With a Dragon Clan member dead, they wouldn't let it go easily. However, since it was an assassination without a body found, they had no justification for openly exterminating the Han She Clan and thus sought trouble at every turn.
Chaos Power could refine one's body and enhance potential. In Han Xi's view, as long as there was enough Chaos Power, it should suppress the Dragon Clan's bloodline and help Yun Shijiu awaken from his state.
This prompted her to take risks by bringing people along for rescue, but they were pursued by the Dragon Clan’s forces, leaving only the two of them now.
After hearing all this, Yun Zhi Yue didn't express gratitude for their risky endeavor to save her brother; instead, she coldly remarked, "You know my brother's condition and want to use him to help your Han She Clan rise again?"
Qiu Yu's expression tightened while Han Xi boldly admitted it. "Yes, Nie Long is our clan's mortal enemy. By taking in Yun Shijiu, we are betting our entire clan's fate on him. I would do anything for Yun Shijiu if it means securing a future for my Han She Clan."
Yun Zhi Yue asked in confusion, "Why does the Dragon Clan want to suppress you?"
Qiu Yu replied with indignation, "It all stems from a prophecy. Many years ago, when the soul of the Dragon Ancestor stirred, it foretold that a flood dragon would become a true dragon—Shuang Wei Di."
From that point on, all serpentine creatures were hunted down by the Dragon Clan, and the Serpent Clan fell into dire straits. Our Han She Clan's Imperial Realm was lost during that time.
Although everything was done without a trace, it was undoubtedly connected to the Dragon Clan and the Heavenly Emperor of that era. The Dragon Clan was simply too overbearing!
Yun Zhi Yue was puzzled. "Serpents turning into dragons, Shuang Wei Di? The Dragon Clan's bloodline is passed down through generations; other species cannot transform into dragons. According to the prophecy, can serpents become dragons? What does Shuang Wei Di mean?"
Han Xi shook his head. "The first part is clear, but no one understands the rest. However, this statement has led to the near extinction of serpentine creatures, and still, no one comprehends it better."
Yun Zhi Yue didn’t dwell on it. "The Wu Zong people cannot follow me out of Wujie. Bringing my master along would be too far-fetched, so if we want to rescue Shijiu, we have to rely on ourselves."
"First, absorb all the Chaos Power and strive to recover from your injuries and break through to Heavenly Peak. We might still have a chance," he continued.
"No, this Chaos Power should be given to Yun Shijiu."
Before Han Xi could finish his sentence, Yun Zhi Yue interrupted him. "Don't worry; after you break through, I will take you to search for him. At least in Wujie, no one dares to touch me."
