Chapter 70: Stirring Action, Yearning for System Points

"Sigh... Ren Jiaxing has wronged our Ren Clan. Even I have no words to defend him. The decision rests with the Clan Chief."

The Second Elder sighed deeply, not daring to raise any objections.

The value of Ren Qirui's life far surpassed that of a hundred Ren Jiaxings, even the Boundless Realm Second Elder. Since Ren Qirui's birth, the entire Ren Clan's resources had revolved around him, investing countless heavenly and earthly treasures. Ren Qirui lived up to expectations, standing among the top-tier prodigies of the Eastern Region.

"By the way, Patriarch, who's behind this? We're going to avenge Qirui. We'll tear the perpetrator to pieces! And then, we'll bring Qirui's remains back and lay him to rest!"

The Ren Clan Chief's temple throbbed, his anger building up. He addressed the Patriarch with frustration.

Seeing the scene, everyone present expressed their determination, vowing to make the culprits pay a heavy price and understand the consequences of provoking the Ren Clan.

After all, the Patriarch had summoned them, even bringing along the Five Elements Formation Flags. Clearly, significant action was on the horizon. In their hands, the flags could form a powerful array, nearly reaching Heavenly-tier formation. Moreover, they could channel their power into a single person, causing their strength to surge dramatically.

"No, the assailant is from the Northern Region. It's not the Wang Clan or the Zhao Clan!"

The Ren Clan Patriarch rubbed his forehead and suppressed the urge to smack the younger generation, speaking patiently.

"What? Someone from the Northern Region could defeat a clone of the Patriarch!?"

"Could it be a hidden powerhouse from the Northern Region? Then, Patriarch, were you able to ascertain the opponent's cultivation realm?"

Upon hearing the Patriarch's words, the Grand Elder couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, and the others frowned as well. They had never thought that the Northern Region, that forsaken place, could harbor such a mighty expert!

"I saw clearly. The opponent is at the First Heaven of the Qi Sea Realm. Don't ask further. What I saw was indeed the First Heaven of the Qi Sea Realm. Perhaps the opponent possesses some secret technique to conceal their true cultivation.

"In any case, that clone of mine was shattered by a single finger from that Qi Sea Realm First Heaven guy!"

Ren Clan Patriarch sighed and truthfully conveyed what he had witnessed.

"Qi Sea Realm, First Heaven!? I see. So, they must be concealing their cultivation..."

Their Holy Mountain didn't have a sect leader and was ruled by seven Elders collectively. They all nurtured disciples and were formidable Divinity Separation Realm experts. Currently, four of them were in seclusion, leaving only the three of them available, which was sufficient.

"That's a good idea!"

The other two Elders didn't decline. Li Shenruo was the most promising disciple of the Holy Mountain, and no accidents could be tolerated. Therefore, they immediately set off for the Northern Region.

"Elders, Elders, are you going down the mountain to have fun? Can I join you?"

Just as the three were about to depart, a figure full of energy suddenly appeared, bounding towards them. With a pure and innocent expression and exceptionally bright eyes radiating an air of... crystal-clear foolishness.

"We're not going for fun, we're... Forget it, there's no time to explain. Let's go, you can come with us down the mountain."

The Grand Elder wanted to explain to Li Yourong, but considering his limited intelligence, he figured that even if he tried, it might take until nightfall to make him understand. So, he simply agreed, and the three, accompanied by Li Yourong, set off in the direction of the Northern Region.

...

Illusory Mountain, Heavenly Dao Hall.

"Ah, Qiu! Caught a cold? Impossible. Could it be Yanran misses me, her master?" Seems like it, hehe."

As Chen Daoxuan, who had been cultivating diligently while lying on a reclining chair, suddenly sneezed and rubbed his eyes, he woke up. Thinking that his disciple's participation in the secret realm was nearing its end, he lost interest in sleeping.

Casually plucking a handful of tea leaves from the Enlightenment Tea Tree beside him, he got up and went to the pavilion to brew some tea. While sipping from his cup, Chen Daoxuan's brow slightly furrowed.

"I thought I would make a fortune after helping Yanran deal with her enemies, but killing the clone didn't grant any rewards. Currently, I only have a little over three thousand system points left. When will I ever accumulate enough to break through to the Void Sky Realm?

"Sigh, system points. I wish some kind soul could gift me some system points. I'd definitely show my gratitude!"

Chen Daoxuan felt a pang of regret, considering that he spent a thousand system points but only earned back nine, resulting in a net loss. Earning system points these days was truly difficult!

"I hope Yanran gains a lot this time and lets this master of hers make a small fortune and break through to the Void Sky Realm. When will these hard days come to an end..."
