Only by her side would he reveal his gentle side and open his heart.

After a moment of warmth, Wen Shang gently released the young girl's small waist and took the comb from her hand. He gently combed her smooth, black hair, his eyes filled with gentleness.

If there were outsiders present, they would think that they were hallucinating, even if it was his grandfather, Wen Yuan Hou.

"Yan Er, I'll be able to avenge your family members soon!"

Wen Shang gently wrapped his arm around Yin Yan's small waist, his hand lightly stroking her silky black hair. As he caressed her cheeks, he spoke gently.

Yan Yan Yan who was leaning on Wen Shang's chest slightly trembled. His beautiful eyes looked at Wen Shang, lightly holding his hand, his eyebrows slightly knitted, and he said softly, "You are preparing to make a move against the Ling Family?"

"En!" Wen Shang nodded. "According to the plan, it won't be long!

Once my Wen Yuan's household has taken over the Soaring Cloud Empire and thoroughly taken control of it, I'll send troops to destroy the Northern Han and avenge you! "

Although their Wen Family had the strength of a quasi-Holy Land, they were still the Ling Family's subordinate in name.

Once the Wen family sent troops to the Northern Han, they would be completely unknown.

And the Ling family stood at the highest point of virtue, joining forces to deal with their Wen Yuan Marquis Mansion.

At that time, their Wen Family's thousand year plan would be completely destroyed.

Also, in these past few years, although he had control over a portion of the Wen Yuan Manor's forces, there were still many experts that could be mobilized.

However, he knew that these experts truly followed the orders of his grandfather, Wen Yuan and Hou Wencheng.

As long as he did not attack, those experts would not be in his hands. They would listen to his commands.

Without those experts, even if he wanted to avenge Yin Yan, it would be impossible for him to do so. As for begging his grandfather, that was even more impossible.

For the sake of the Wen family's thousand year plan, for the benefit of the family, Wen Cheng could do anything he wanted.

If Wen Cheng were to know of this, he would definitely not tolerate the existence of Yin Yan.

In fact, he might even be placed under house arrest.

This was because Wen Cheng had warned him to never have true feelings for a woman.

The reason why he was able to cultivate the Blood Devouring Yin Yang Art was partly because he was forced to do so by his grandfather, Wen Cheng. Otherwise, he would have long since changed his cultivation technique.

In these past few years, he didn't dare to place Yin Yan in the light. He wasn't afraid of other forces, but his grandfather.

He carefully placed her inside the Spring Breeze House, not daring to let even the slightest of information leak out.

This place was filled with his trusted aides and was controlled by him through all sorts of means. No one would betray him.

If he could take revenge in the future, he could find a chance to escape and bring her away from the borders of the Empire of Soaring Cloud, or use extreme methods to force his grandfather to allow them to be together.

This was the suffering of the disciples of large clans. No one knew about it, and many people were even envious.

In such large families, the concept of kinship was weak. Most people cared about the interests of their families. For the sake of the clan, there would always be victims.

As for Wen Shang, although he was the young duke of Wen Yuan's manor and would become the next heir, he was still a member of the sacrifices.

"How confident are you in overthrowing the Ling Family? Also, if you overthrow the Ling family, how will you stabilize the court?

You need to know that the Ling Family has already ruled this region for a thousand years, and is deeply rooted in it. Although she was anxious for revenge, Yin Yan still asked worriedly.

Wen Shang was silent for a moment, and after a long while, he sighed and said slowly, "Fifty percent! Even if our Wen family has been around for thousands of years.

But just as you said, the Ling Family's position in the Primal Region is deeply rooted, and has deep ties with those.

Furthermore, the Ling family used to have a Martial Saint in the past after all. I wonder what trump cards they have, and what methods they are hiding. "

Even if it was him, facing the Ling family of the Ling Xiao Empire, who was once a sacred land, he did not dare say that their Wen family's plan was foolproof and would definitely succeed.

Before it was a complete success, there could be variables.

He never thought that this variable would actually be Ling Yun, the son of his arch enemy that he had never put in his eyes.

Yin Yan also fell silent. She stood up and poured a cup of tea for him. She couldn't help him in any way, she even needed him to worry about everything for her.

"You must be careful!" Yin Yan softly said, "There's no rush to take revenge."

"I know!" Wen Shang finished the tea in his hand in one gulp and nodded.

Yin Yan let out a faint sigh and walked to the dressing table. She placed her hand on a porcelain bottle and gently wiggled it.

Immediately, the walls split apart to reveal a passageway. Inside, it was like a secret room.

"Let's go in!" As Yan Yan Yan looked at the secret chamber, her beautiful eyes revealed a complex expression. She sighed lightly and said to Wen Cheng.

Wen Shang gently embraced her, caressing her face and saying gently, "I'm going in."

With that, he walked into the secret chamber. As he stepped into the secret chamber, the door slowly closed behind him.

Looking at the closed wall, Yin Yan took a long time before she retracted her gaze. She looked at the roof with guilt.

Just as Wen Shang entered the secret room, a bizarre aura came over. If one were to carefully sense this aura, one would be able to sense a subtle aura of life.

Upon entering the secret chamber, he could feel that his cultivation technique had started to automatically circulate. A strange, blood-colored light was being emitted from his body.

In the center of the secret room, ancient spirit patterns were inscribed into the ground, vaguely forming a picture that looked like an altar.

On top of the spirit pattern diagram, there was a flashing spirit array. The spirit array was inverted into a funnel shape.

Above the funnel was the Spring Breeze House. A strange aura was being absorbed into the spirit formation and poured into the spirit pattern below.

If a person with strong Mental Energy was to search along this Spiritual Array, they would definitely be horrified and turn pale.

This was because this seemingly hidden Spiritual Array actually had a strange connection with the entire Spring Breeze House.

And this connection originated from the strange spirit patterns beneath the beds in the Spring Breeze House.

Wen Shang seemed to be accustomed to this place. There was no surprise in his eyes.

The gentle smile on his face from a moment ago disappeared and was hidden.

With a token in hand, he passed through the spirit array and arrived inside the spirit array. He walked straight to the center of the altar-like spirit pattern diagram and sat down cross-legged.

In an instant, the circulation speed of the technique increased by countless times, and with the circulation of the technique, a strange power was swallowed up by Wen Shang.

If one took a closer look, he or she would realize that this strange energy was the energy that the strange spirit patterns had absorbed while men and women were interacting with each other in the Spring Breeze House.

If Ling Yun was here, he would definitely know that it was essence energy.

Like blood essence, Profound Qi was extremely important to a person's life. Blood essence was something only warriors had, and it contained a martial artist's spirit energy essence which was limited. Losing even a drop of it would greatly damage one's vitality.

However, Qi was different, whether or not he cultivated it, he would still have it.

The so-called 'spirit' referred to the essence energy. If one's essence energy was absorbed, it would undoubtedly cause a great deal of harm to people.

Sometimes, Qi represented a person's lifespan.

Now that his Profound Qi was gone, he would naturally die.

Think about the importance of vital energy to people.

As for Wen Shang, he was actually using a strange spirit pattern array to absorb people's essence energy for cultivation. If this were to leak out, there would be no place for him on the continent.
