Unlimited Investment in the Destined Protagonist: Forging an Eternal Immortal Clan Chapter 17 - The Shocked Yang Xuan, the Fang Family’s Secret

Chapter 17: The Shocked Yang Xuan, the Fang Family’s Secret, Breaking Through to the Soul Palace Realm!

The person who entered was none other than Lu Qingxuan.

Seeing the arrival, Yang Xuan, who had been sitting calmly, imdiately beca serious, stood up, and respectfully said, “Greetings, Your Highness!”

At the sa ti, he released his divine sense, preparing to probe Lu Qingxuan’s cultivation level. However, to his great surprise, he couldn’t sense Lu Qingxuan’s specific cultivation realm at all.

According to the information from his county governor’s office, this second son of the Lu family’s true cultivation wouldn’t exceed the Purple Mansion Realm. But now, it seed that the other party’s cultivation was at least at the Spiritual Pill Realm.

Otherwise, how could he fail to sense it? If it was said that the other party practiced a breath-concealing secret technique, he felt it was unlikely. Moreover, upon closer inspection, he seed to faintly detect a terrifying aura, dormant within the other party’s Physique.

As long as he made the slightest move, he felt that the other party could instantly annihilate him.

Seeing this, his heart trembled, and he quickly withdrew his divine sense, unable to suppress the stormy waves of shock in his mind.

Lu Qingxuan sat directly in the main seat, revealing a perfectly asured smile.

“Lord Yang need not be so polite. I wonder what brings Lord Yang here today?”

Of course, Yang Xuan’s earlier divine sense probe couldn’t escape his perception. Hearing this, Yang Xuan showed an embarrassed expression.

“When Your Highness ascended to your position and held your wedding, I wasn’t in Beiyuan County, so I could only send an elder from my residence to offer congratulations on my behalf. Now that I’ve just returned to Beiyuan County, I’ve co to pay my respects to Your Highness Lu and congratulate you on assuming the title of Prince!”

To Lu Qingxuan, Yang Xuan’s words were obviously just polite pleasantries—how could he not see through them?

Lu Qingxuan smiled, “Oh, is that so? Then Lord Yang is too kind.”

Then, with a aningful tone, Lu Qingxuan continued, “Is Lord Yang truly here today just to congratulate on my ascension? Or is it not about the three great families?”

Seeing Lu Qingxuan being so direct, Yang Xuan pondered for a mont before awkwardly responding.

“Although the three great families fall under my jurisdiction, their grudges and vendettas are naturally not sothing my county governor’s office would interfere with. However, those three families are backed by the Jingyang Royal Mansion, with their influence entrenched in the royal capital, and their overall strength is not weak. I ca here specifically to remind Your Highness Lu that with the three great families eradicated, the Jingyang Royal Mansion will lose so of its tributary resources, which might be disadvantageous to Your Highness.”

Hearing this, Lu Qingxuan remained unconcerned.

“I appreciate Lord Yang coming here specifically to inform of this. If the Jingyang Royal Mansion wants an explanation, they can co to my Lu Royal Mansion themselves.”

How could Lu Qingxuan not know about the forces backing the three great families? But even so, what of it? They killed mbers of his Lu family, and that was a price they had to pay.

Hearing Lu Qingxuan’s words, Yang Xuan imdiately felt relieved.

Since Lu Qingxuan had said as much, even if the Jingyang Royal Mansion questioned him, his county governor’s office could simply direct them to confront the Lu Royal Mansion themselves.

A clash between these two princely mansions was sothing he had no desire to get caught up in.

“Your Highness Lu, there’s one more matter I need to inform you about.”

At this mont, Yang Xuan seed to recall sothing and spoke again.

“Does Your Highness know about a certain secret matter concerning the Fang family?”

“Oh? I’d like to hear the details.” Lu Qingxuan’s eyes flickered slightly. The Fang family had so hidden matter?

After a mont of contemplation, Yang Xuan slowly began to speak.

“Two years ago, the Fang family experienced an internal conflict. At that ti, a child born with the innate Five Elents Dao Bone appeared in a collateral branch of the Fang family. However, the wife of the clan leader from the main branch secretly orchestrated a sche, luring away the elders of that collateral branch.

“Afterward, this clan leader’s wife dug out the child’s innate Five Elents Dao Bone and transplanted it into her own teenage son. When this act was discovered by the mbers of that collateral branch, the child had already died. Imdiately, the people of that branch clashed fiercely with the main branch, demanding an explanation from the main branch and the clan leader’s wife. In the end, to appease that branch’s mbers, the clan leader had no choice but to execute his wife. And when his son saw his mother killed in front of the clan mbers, he harbored hatred and left ho from then on.

“Half a year after that incident, my county governor’s office received news that this prodigy, who had received the innate Five Elents Dao Bone, had joined the Cangxuan Dao Sect and has beco a true disciple of an elder there. Now, with the Fang family destroyed by Your Highness, once this Fang family prodigy learns of this, it’s hard to say whether he might target Your Highness’s Lu Royal Mansion! Although this prodigy harbors resentnt toward the Fang family, they are still his clansn, tied by blood. Who knows if he might seek revenge for them?”

Hearing Yang Xuan finish recounting this secret, Lu Qingxuan hadn’t expected that the Fang family had once faced such internal strife. The fact that the Fang family produced a prodigy who joined a third-tier sect like the Cangxuan Dao Sect was sowhat surprising to him.

Sects like the Cangxuan Dao Sect, Qingyun Dao Sect, and the Lingyun Dynasty were all third-tier powers in the northern part of Beihan Prefecture, each with at least three Nirvana Realm experts, and possibly even hidden powerhouses at the Ascension Realm.

A family like the Lu Royal Mansion truly couldn’t contend with such forces.

However, given a bit more ti, he was confident that his Lu Royal Mansion could quickly rise to beco a third-tier family power as well.

“I’ve taken note of this matter. Thank you, Lord Yang, for coming here to inform .”

Lu Qingxuan’s opinion of Yang Xuan improved sowhat, appreciating that he’d shared this information.

This at least gave the Lu Royal Mansion advance warning of a potential enemy they might face.

At the sa ti, Lu Qingxuan regarded Yang Xuan more highly. To have grasped such a secret about the Fang family, it seed the county governor’s office had eyes and ears everywhere!

“Your Highness is too polite!”

Yang Xuan showed no trace of pride and responded with a smile.

Afterward, Yang Xuan offered a few more flattering words to Lu Qingxuan before proposing his departure.

Lu Qingxuan nodded, instructing the Grand Elder to personally escort Yang Xuan out of the Lu Royal Mansion.

Watching Yang Xuan’s retreating figure, Lu Qingxuan fell into deep thought.

“It seems the developnt of the Lu family needs to accelerate further!”

Unintentionally, they had now entangled themselves with a third-tier sect, a force the Lu Royal Mansion couldn’t currently oppose.

This inevitably added a few more considerations to his mind.

However, what Lu Qingxuan didn’t know was that the Fang family prodigy wasn’t currently at the Cangxuan Dao Sect but had gone out to gain experience. This, in turn, bought the Lu family so valuable ti to develop properly.

After pondering for a while, Lu Qingxuan resud his cultivation.

Ti passed, and half a month flew by in the blink of an eye.

Lu Qingxuan’s cultivation successfully broke through to the ninth layer of the Spiritual Pill Realm.

With a flip of his hand, a cultivation breakthrough card appeared in his palm.

As Lu Qingxuan used this cultivation breakthrough card, he soon advanced to the Soul Palace Realm.

The Soul Palace Realm, as the na suggests, is a stage where one primarily focuses on condensing the soul palace and strengthening the divine soul.

After breaking through to the Soul Palace Realm, Lu Qingxuan didn’t rush to continue cultivating. Instead, he left the hall and headed toward Ling Xiyue’s location.

Every so often, he would check on Ling Xiyue’s condition as she nurtured their unborn child.

After all, this was his first child, which made Lu Qingxuan take it especially seriously.

It wasn’t until a few days later that Lu Qingxuan returned to his own hall and resud his cultivation.
