"Big Brother, what are you still thinking about? Let the great nephew break off the engagement if he wants to."
"It's just a declining Xiao family, and moreover, that girl from the Xiao family has already become a waste, how can she be worthy of being the great nephew's wife."
Seeing Zhao Jingzhi lost in thought, Zhao Shaoyun, standing by his side, pouted and said.
After Zhao Yan and Zhao Qianxing finished their friendly match, the smile on his face had not ceased.
Seeing Zhao Jingzhi about to blame his great nephew, he said with a serious expression.
"Shaoyun, what kind of expression is that? How could I possibly blame Yan'er?"
"I am thinking about the Emperor of Heaven's Ancient Jade."
"There are nine pieces of Emperor of Heaven's Ancient Jade, and our Zhao family already possesses five. I am determined to obtain this ancient jade from the Xiao family."
"If I weren't worried about alerting them, I wouldn't have arranged a marriage contract for Yan'er."
Glancing annoyedly at Zhao Shaoyun, Zhao Jingzhi slowly said.
"Emperor of Heaven's Ancient Jade?"
Hearing his father's words, Zhao Yan's eyebrows twitched slightly. How did these four words sound so familiar?
"Yes, it is the Emperor of Heaven's Ancient Jade. There are rumors that if all nine pieces of Emperor of Heaven's Ancient Jade are gathered, one can open the secret realm left by the Emperor of Heaven and obtain everything he left behind."
"From ancient times to the present, even counting those ancient emperors, the Emperor of Heaven could absolutely rank among the top three."
"Yan'er, since you have already broken off the engagement, do you need to use even more ruthless means?"
"As long as we dig up the entire Xiao family three feet deep, we won't have to worry about not finding the Emperor of Heaven's Ancient Jade."
Zhao Junlin's eyes flickered slightly, and he continued speaking faintly, following his son Zhao Jingzhi's words.
"Grandfather, there's no need. I will personally make a move for the Emperor of Heaven's Ancient Jade when the time comes."
Seeing a hint of ferocity flash in the old man's eyes, Zhao Yan quickly said.
His grandfather was too ruthless, wanting to slay his little benefactor so quickly.
Fortunately, he returned and brought up this matter himself. If his grandfather had noticed,
and eliminated his little benefactor before he could even realize it, he would have truly cried.
"Alright, I have seen that girl's grandfather. Her appearance is quite good. If grandfather takes a look, perhaps he can cure that girl."
The old man stroked his beard, gave Zhao Yan a meaningful glance, and said with a chuckle.
"Grandfather, it's better not to. I can handle my own matters myself."
Looking at the old man's meaningful face, Zhao Yan blinked.
To let his grandfather take a look; if Old Granny Xiao Yanyan were to see through it, it would be difficult to salvage the situation.
"Old Man, since Yan'er wants to resolve this himself, let him resolve it himself."
"What is the second matter?"
Zhao Jingzhi also wore a smile on his face, then patted Zhao Junlin's shoulder and asked.
"Does the clan have any spirit items that can conceal my appearance, cultivation realm, and spiritual power attributes?"
"It's best if it can evade the detection of a Title Venerable, and if it can also conceal from a Saint, that would be even better."
Ignoring the unfathomable smiles of his father and grandfather, Zhao Yan said calmly.
"Great nephew, do you have any unspeakable difficulties? Your second uncle can help you, just say it."
Hearing Zhao Yan's words, Zhao Junlin and the other two exchanged glances, and then Zhao Shaoyun spoke.
"Sorry, Second Uncle, I have my own plan."
If his grandfather and the others could influence the Fated Female Lead, then he would definitely lie flat and let the clan handle it.
But in this world, only he himself could influence the Son of Heaven, and furthermore, he still had to obtain rewards from the Son of Heaven.
"It's alright, grandson. I'll go ask at the ancestral land for you later."
"I will definitely find a spirit item that satisfies you."
"By the way, this is the token of the clan's Seventh Venerable, take it."
Hearing Zhao Yan's words, Zhao Junlin nodded and handed a jade-colored token to Zhao Yan.
"Old Man, Big Brother, if you've finished your chat, I'll take the great nephew for a stroll."
"And let the great nephew taste some real good tea."
Seeing that everyone had fallen silent, Zhao Shaoyun put his arm around Zhao Yan's shoulder and walked out.
"Grandfather, Father, I'll go with Second Uncle then."
Seeing Zhao Shaoyun put his arm around him and walk out, Zhao Yan turned his head and said to the two.
"This brat."
Seeing Zhao Shaoyun directly drag Zhao Yan away, Zhao Junlin cursed softly.
He originally wanted to chat with his grandson a bit longer and sound him out to understand his hidden strength and what this Fourth-Grade Spirit Array was all about.
It seemed he could only wait for next time. Zhao Junlin stroked his beard, his face still showing unconcealed joy.
"Father, since Yan'er has already become the Seventh Venerable, that Xie family."
Zhao Jingzhi seemed to recall something, and a hint of coldness appeared in his eyes.
"Then let's first cripple a few of their Title Venerables to whet our appetite, and then we'll continue to observe."
Zhao Junlin said calmly, deciding the fate of Spirit Martial Artists who were considered mainstays even among top aristocratic families in just a few words.
"That works too."
"Uncle Ruan He."
Zhao Jingzhi nodded in agreement, then looked towards a dark corner and slowly said.
As soon as he finished speaking, a White-Haired Old Man, dressed in a black robe and with a slender build, walked out from the darkness.
...
"Qingyan, what was wrong with you just now?"
On the path made of White Jade, remembering Zhao Qingyan's and Zhao Yan's actions, the Gloomy Old Man asked the Elegant Maiden beside him.
"Uncle, I'm fine. I'm just feeling a bit unwell."
After a moment of silence, the maiden said slowly.
"Qingyan, your Innate Dao Body should be able to suppress your Evil Nether Demon Emperor Body, right?"
Seeing Zhao Qingyan's complexion looked a bit unwell, Zhao Xiu asked with concern.
"Uncle, please rest assured. The demonic qi within me cannot break through the Daoist Charm of my Innate Dao Body. You can be completely at ease."
Zhao Qingyan's expression was calm, and her tone held an unquestionable certainty.
The Evil Nether Demon Emperor Body is the physique of a top-tier Demon God from ancient times.
As the Evil Nether Demon Emperor Body continuously strengthens, its corrosion on one's temperament will increase exponentially.
It will gradually make the possessor cold-hearted and ruthless, becoming addicted to slaughter, and is a notoriously taboo physique.
If discovered in Great Xia, one would immediately have their Sea of Consciousness abolished.
Although this physique is incredibly powerful, it causes one to lose reason and become a monster that only knows slaughter.
Legend has it that in ancient times, in order for the Human Race to slay the possessor of this Demon Body, one Great Emperor even perished with him.
However, the Innate Dao Body on Zhao Qingyan can perfectly suppress the erosion of her temperament by the Evil Nether Demon Emperor Body and the demonic qi it emits.
Having this physique is not a bad thing for Zhao Qingyan; on the contrary, it can complement her Innate Dao Body.
"Then I can rest assured, my uncle."
Looking at the maiden's calm Beautiful Eyes, a smile also appeared on the Gloomy Old Man's face.
