Dethrone me, I don't want the throne anymore, why are you so angry?

Xu Yunting was speechless. "Old Ancestor, how can you compare yourself to a mortal?"

"How can I appear powerful if I don't compare myself with them? Without black, how can there be white? Only by comparing myself with ordinary people can I appear to be the most powerful. You don't even understand this truth." The old man curled his lips.

Xu Yunting waved his hand, obviously not wanting to say anything more about this matter. Instead, he took out the repaired Chunyun Sword and said, "Ancestor, the Chunyun Sword has been repaired. I'll leave the rest to you."

The old man took it and weighed it for a moment before saying, "It's only half a handle. Did you make up the rest with new refining materials?"

Xu Yunting nodded. "We used the same materials as when we created Chunyun. Old Ancestor, are you sure you can use this sword to collect Xinru's remaining soul?"

The old man sighed, "That should be the case. That place is a little special. It might be where Guan Xinru's soul is kept, but I can't guarantee it."

"Do your best. Sorry for troubling you, ancestor." Xu Yunting said.

The old man looked at Xu Yunting deeply and asked, "You have wasted so much energy. Are you trying to retrieve Guan Xinru's remaining soul or to use it to control Li Daoyi?"

Although the old man usually stays in the Xu family's ancestral land, it does not mean that he knows nothing about what is happening outside.

Especially Guan Xinru, who was also the person chosen by the old man.

Xu Yunting's expression changed slightly, and he immediately said, "Li Daoyi is the controller of the Dark Palace. If we can control him, it will be a hundred times more beneficial for the Xu family."

"Don't you have any intention of saving your goddaughter?" asked the old man.

"As the head of the Xu family, I have to fulfill my responsibilities as a head of the family. I have no choice in many things. Everything I do can only be based on the Xu family." Xu Yunting said with a bitter face.

"Let go when it's time to let go. Shenzhou will be fine without anyone. You gave your identities yourself. Since you want the identity of the head of the Xu family, don't make yourself feel helpless. It's your own choice. Let's go." The old man waved his hand.

Xu Yunting turned his head and glanced at Ye Yu in the distance. He was a little dazed for a moment, as if he saw Yunxi's figure.

Then he bowed to the old man and left the Xu family's ancestral land.

Shortly after Xu Yunting left, Ye Yu's eyes, which had been silent for half a month, slowly opened, and a ripple spread out from Ye Yu as the center.

Wherever it passed, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth automatically gathered together, as if being pulled.

The old man looked at this scene and used the power of his soul to attract the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. This was a sign of a magic-level soul.

Ye Yu exhaled a breath of turbid air, feeling the tremendous power in his body, his soul had completed the transformation.

The old man came in front of Ye Yu, pursed his lips, and was about to say something, but saw Ye Yu stand up and bow to the old man, "Thank you for your teachings, senior. I owe you a favor."

Listening to Ye Yu's words, the old man was speechless. He had wanted to ask Ye Yu how he could be so calm, but after this incident, how could he open his mouth? He immediately coughed dryly and waved his hand, "It's not a big deal, it's all a small matter. Okay, if you have nothing else, you can go first. I have something to do next."

As he spoke, Ye Yu saw the Chunyun Sword in the old man's hand, but he didn't say much. It was none of his business, so why bother?

Then the old man waved his hand, and when Ye Yu came to his senses, he was already in the courtyard.

After returning to the Xu family's area, Ye Yu subconsciously used the power of his soul to scan and immediately found that there were many more auras in the Xu family, auras that did not belong to the Xu family, and among them there was a familiar aura.

It belongs to the fat monk Gong Jiuxiao.

After Ye Yu pondered for a moment, he went over there.

Not long after, Ye Yu saw the fat monk in another courtyard. At this moment, the fat monk was obviously not in good spirits. There were many delicacies on the table in front of him, but he didn't move.

"Why are you here?" Ye Yu asked.

The fat monk turned around when he heard this. When he saw Ye Yu, his eyes lit up, but soon dimmed. He just smiled bitterly and said, "How come you were caught too?"

"Caught him?" Ye Yu didn't quite understand what the fat monk meant.

Then the fat monk told everything that had happened to him.

During the time that Ye Yu was in seclusion in the Xu family's ancestral land, the four major families including the Xu family, and even major forces began to search all over Shenzhou for talented independent cultivators.

Although the fat monk is a Buddhist and usually doesn't act very seriously, this cannot conceal his powerful fighting ability.

Naturally, he was also targeted.

After hearing what the fat monk said, Ye Yu frowned. It seemed that this time's family competition really stirred up the forces of the entire Zhongzhou. This would probably create opportunities for those royal families again.

"If you get caught, then you get caught. With your personality, you won't be able to lose your appetite." Ye Yu said with a smile.

As for the affairs of the royal family, Ye Yu was too lazy to think about it. This was not something he should consider. With Ye Yu's current ability, what would be the point even if he considered it.

The fat monk said with a bitter look on his face: "Qianqian was taken away. I don't know what to do now."

"Isn't it a good thing that Gu Qianqian was taken away?" Ye Yu suddenly laughed.

The fat monk was stunned. "There's no one like you. It's fine if you can't help, but you're still smiling here. I'm serious."

Ye Yu waved his hand. "They took Gu Qianqian away just to control you. Don't worry about her safety. Otherwise, Gu Qianqian would have been killed long ago. Why would they bother to capture her? It seems the Xu family values ​​you very much."

"As long as you demonstrate sufficient value, Gu Qianqian will be much safer in the hands of the Xu family than with you."

The fat monk was stunned when he heard this, and slapped his forehead suddenly, "Yeah, you are right."

After figuring it out, the fat monk's appetite was whetted and he immediately started to pick up the food on the table.

Ye Yu watched silently. It could be seen that the Xu family was very attentive, otherwise they would not have understood the fat monk's habits so clearly. This also proved that the Xu family's situation had indeed reached a point where it was not optimistic.

"Have you signed a contract with the Xu family?" Ye Yu suddenly asked.

The fat monk had something stuffed in his mouth. After swallowing it with great effort, he asked, "What contract?"

Ye Yu raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and then a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Master-servant contract, it seems that it is not too late."

"Oh, as for that thing, just sign it. It doesn't matter." The fat monk waved his hand nonchalantly.

"You have no choice after signing it. What if they use this contract to force you to break the rules? You will die if you resist. If you die, what will happen to Gu Qianqian?" Ye Yu said lightly.

The fat monk's face suddenly darkened, "What should we do?"
