"Xue Ming, why are you here?" Upon clearly seeing the face of the person who arrived, Xue Hai Wuya's expression changed dramatically. This place was a secret even his closest son didn't know about. How could this son, whom he had never given a second glance, possibly know? Moreover, even if he knew, where did he get the audacity to enter?

"Father, I found this blessed land. Why shouldn't I be here?" Seeing Xue Hai Wuya's astonished gaze, Xue Ming replied with a faint smile.

"You found it?" Xue Hai Wuya paused, and the memory of how he discovered this place suddenly flashed through his mind. That day, while dealing with family affairs, Xue Ming burst in to tell him he had found a rare beast, claiming it was immensely powerful and required his personal attention.

He had believed him then. Indeed, he found a Profound Dragon Beast, and not a low-level one either. It was while slaying that beast that he discovered this location. Could it be that Xue Ming had known all along?

"Father, I know your nature; your possessiveness is always so intense. Once you discover such a good place, you would never be willing to share it with too many people. That's why I didn't mention it in front of the clan elders that day. I originally thought that after discovering this place, you might treat me a little better, but all these years, your attitude towards me has remained just as cold. Father, I truly want to ask you, do you really consider me your son?" Xue Ming spoke with deep self-mockery.

"Insolence..." Hearing Xue Ming say this, Xue Hai Wuya became furious. After all, he was his father; how dare a son lecture his father? Even if it wasn't a lecture, just speaking like that was unacceptable! His will was the will of the entire Xue Family. Did his son think he could overturn the heavens?

He sent a palm strike across the void. He didn't intend to kill him immediately; after all, he was still his son. He just wanted to teach him a lesson, so this strike used less than one percent of his strength. He expected to easily send his son flying to the ground, but unexpectedly, Xue Ming's figure flickered, and he dodged it.

Xue Hai Wuya was internally horrified. Unless one was a master of the Ninth Heaven realm, it was impossible to evade this strike. Had his son already reached the Ninth Heaven realm? A massive wave of divine sense swept out, intending to fully ascertain his son's condition. But as it swept over them, his already astonished face turned completely black, his eyes filled with sheer dread, because several figures were revealed under the sweep of his divine sense.

There were three men. He recognized one of them; it was Fang Zhuguo, who was on good terms with his son. But hadn't that fellow perished? How could he appear here?

Another man was pale-faced and gaunt, looking even more like a corpse than his son. The third was handsome and dashing, especially his white hair which radiated an air of dominance, and a pair of star-like eyes staring directly at him.

"Xue Ming, you... you beast! You... it's one thing for you to come here alone, but you actually brought outsiders! You..." Xue Hai Wuya erupted in fury. This was his secret cultivation spot where he often entered seclusion. He could tolerate Xue Ming knowing, but now he had brought so many outsiders! Who knew if he had told anyone else?

"Uncle Xue, please don't be angry. We came here with good intentions for you!" Before Xue Hai Wuya could finish speaking, Fang Zhuguo interjected.

"Good intentions? Do you have the standing to offer that?" Xue Hai Wuya coldly snorted. As the head of the Xue Family, even Fang Zhentian wouldn't dare interrupt him so lightly. By what right did this fellow speak?

He directly threw a punch towards Fang Zhuguo. Weren't you dead? If even that fellow Fang Zhentian didn't care about you, what does killing you matter to me?

With this punch, Xue Hai Wuya used nearly fifty percent of his strength. Even if Fang Zhuguo had reached the Ninth Heaven realm, he couldn't possibly withstand this blow.

But a figure stepped forward, appearing directly in front of Fang Zhuguo. Facing Xue Hai Wuya's terrifying punch, this person met it head-on with a single fist.

A dazzling golden light instantly erupted. A violent force slammed into Xue Hai Wuya's right arm. The immense power directly blasted Xue Hai Wuya backward, his entire arm shattering and flying over a hundred li before finally stopping.

Ye Jingyu's strength was less than Xue Hai Wuya's, and he was directly blasted over three hundred li, but his physical body was far stronger than Xue Hai Wuya's. His fist was merely a bit numb. He casually shook his arm and returned as if nothing had happened.

Seeing that the young man before him could actually block one of his punches, Xue Hai Wuya's expression changed. This was at least a Venerable-level expert. How could someone so young become a Venerable-level expert? Could this be the individual Fang Zhentian mentioned?

"You are Ye Jingyu?" Xue Hai Wuya exclaimed in shock.

"Indeed. I did not expect Uncle Xue to recognize me!" Ye Jingyu nodded humbly, though his face showed complete nonchalance.

After failing to sense Yuan's presence in the Fanlong Empire, he understood that when dealing with demons, he must unite all available forces. Currently, those who could barely contend against Yuan were the major powers of the Guhua Continent. His original plan to unify Dou Hun and then pressure the Guhua Continent had to change.

"Good, good, good. A hero emerges from youth! No wonder my useless son dared to be so bold; he must have found a backer. But do you think you alone can handle me?" Xue Hai Wuya coldly snorted, and his shattered arm began to rapidly regenerate, returning to its original state in an instant.

"Hehe, this junior has no enmity with Uncle. I never intended to deal with Uncle. My uninvited arrival today is merely to seek some cooperation with Uncle," Ye Jingyu smiled faintly.

"Cooperation? Are you worthy?" Xue Hai Wuya coldly snorted, preparing to attack again, only to find that the pale man standing beside Ye Jingyu had suddenly erupted with a powerful aura—an aura no weaker than the Venerable level. Even more terrifyingly, from within his body emerged a Daoist and a Monk, each emanating an aura equal to his own. Furthermore, a girl who looked no older than ten had appeared beside him at some unknown time, her aura also being at the Venerable level.
