As for her, she would stay in the clan and live her remaining life alone. “Perhaps all my glory and favor came from my husband.” Cao Yunyu felt sorrowful.
Her father, Cao Yu, had more than ten children. The purity of her bloodline was only in the middle.
The reason why he doted on her so much back then was probably not only because he had hope for her, but also because he wanted to use her to form a marriage alliance and stabilize his status.
All these years, Cao Yunyu had only wanted to take care of her husband and children and had delayed her cultivation. Now, she had lost the husband of a martial arts genius, Yu Chongxiao. The family background that she was once proud of had actually long had nothing to do with her.
Her own strength was the foundation.
She should have cultivated diligently back then.
Unfortunately, she only understood this principle now.
“Xuewei, remember! When you reach your father’s side, don’t be naughty. You have to be obedient! You have to cultivate hard! Do you understand?” Cao Yunyu squatted down and caressed her daughter’s tender face.
“Mother, I’ll remember everything!” Cao Xuewei replied with a puzzled expression. “Mother, aren’t you going with me?”
“Mother will go after settling the matters here.” Cao Yunyu smiled.
“Yes!” Cao Xuewei nodded heavily.
“Alright, follow me.” Cao Yunyu stood up and quietly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
When the carriage arrived, she held the oil-paper umbrella and carried her daughter into the carriage.
The carriage slowly drove on the s.p.a.cious inner street of the Cao family’s mansion.
“As a descendant of an aristocratic family, you insisted on marrying a martial artist. This is the outcome.’
“How can martial artists compare to us descendants of aristocratic families?”
“After all, he’s an outsider. He abandoned his wife and son once he gained power.”
“A fallen phoenix is inferior to a chicken. This is the logic.”
On the way, the Cao family disciples saw this. Some ignored them, some watched coldly, and some directly mocked them.
Cao Yunyu covered her daughter’s ears and endured these bone-chilling words alone.
Human nature was as such, and even family members could fall out to this extent.
“How dare you! Suddenly, just as the carriage was about to leave the inner street, a shout sounded.
“Who are you? How dare you criticize my daughter like this!”
“It’s Father?!” Cao Yunyu was stunned and lifted the curtain.
An old man in luxurious clothes with white hair and a youthful face stood at the corner of the street. He had his hands behind his back and looked around the field angrily.
“Greetings, Family Head!”
The Cao family disciples who had mocked Cao Yunyu earlier knelt on the ground and trembled.
They all knew that Cao Yunyu was hated by Cao Yu. Otherwise, who would dare to say that about the Family Head’s daughter?
However, things were different from what they had expected.
“It’s Grandpa!” When Cao Xuewei saw the old man in luxurious clothes, she jumped off the carriage excitedly and ran towards him.
“Xuewei, run slowly.” Seeing Cao Xuewei running over, Cao Yu’s originally gloomy face suddenly revealed a wa_rm smile. He squatted down and hugged Cao Xuewei.
“Grandpa, 1 haven’t seen you in a long time. Where did you go?” Cao Xuewei giggled and grabbed Cao Yu’s beard.
“Grandpa has been cultivating in seclusion recently, so I didn’t come out to see Xue Wei. Be gentle! Don’t pull out Grandpa’s beard,” Cao Yu said with a smile. “Greetings, Family Head.” Cao Yunyu came in front of Cao Yu and bowed respectfully.
“Yunyu, we’re father and daughter. Why are you so distant? Are you still blaming me?” Cao Yu gently put down Cao Xuewei.
Cao Yunyu shook her head. Back then, when Yu Chongxiao left the Cao family, Cao Yu scolded her for being useless and not being able to keep Yu Chongxiao. He even said that he didn’t have a daughter like her. Today, he looked like a benevolent father again. She couldn’t tell if he was telling the truth.
“You’re leaving today?” Cao Yu looked at the carriage behind her in surprise. “Husband will come to bring Xuewei to the Qian Heaven Palace,” Cao Yunyu told the truth.
She had long reported this matter to the family. As the Family Head, it was impossible for Cao Yu not to know.
“Since my good son-in-law is coming, why didn’t anyone inform me?!” Cao Yu looked angry and scolded.
“Yunyu, aren’t you going with your husband?” Cao Yu changed the topic.
“I’m from the Cao family. How can 1 leave?” Cao Yunyu shook her head. Back then, she was the one who rejected Yu Chongxiao. How could she leave with him now?
“Huh?! With my good son-in-law’s character, he definitely won’t abandon you. As long as you ask, he will definitely bring you back with him.” Cao Yu waved his hand.
“…” Cao Yunyu was silent. Cao Yu kept calling him a good son-in-law, as if he wasn’t the one who scolded Yu Chongxiao back then.
Cao Yunyu felt that something was amiss.
In two years, Cao Yunyu was no longer the willful and innocent young lady from back then.
“By the way, could it be that my good son-in-law is in the city now? Why don’t
I go with you? I heard that he’s now highly valued by Perfected Han of the Qian Heaven Palace. I wonder if he’s already improved in the Martial Dao after not seeing him for a long time?” Cao Yu carried Cao Xuewei with a smile. “The few of you, go to the Punishment Hall and receive your own torture!”
When Cao Yu walked out, he looked at the disciples kneeling on the ground and said with a cold expression.
“Family Head, please forgive me!”
“Please forgive me, Miss Yunyu!’
When everyone heard this, they begged for mercy repeatedly. However, they were quickly taken away by the torturer.
“Yunyu, why aren’t you leaving?” Cao Yu turned around and smiled at Cao Yunyu when he saw that she was still standing at the same spot.
“Yes.” Cao Yunyu nodded and followed behind Cao Yu. She felt that he was becoming more and more unfamiliar.
Perfected Firmament Sky’s death caused a true earthquake in the nine grotto-heavens and the entire Origin World.
Han Zhao’s name undoubtedly became the most common name mentioned by a group of peak experts again.
Although Han Zhao refused to admit it, everyone knew that he was the most suspicious.
Perfected Immaculate of the Kunlun Heaven was even more certain that he was the murderer.
However, without enough benefits, the Devas and the Holy Lord would not easily join forces.
Now, they lacked a chance to deal with Han Zhao, a chance to attack together.
As for Han Zhao, after experiencing this matter, he gradually lay low.
Twenty years pa.s.sed quietly.
Such a long time was enough for an ignorant child to grow into the pillar of a family.
However, to a Divine Power Realm martial artist, it was only a few seclusions.
For a full twenty years, Han Zhao dual cultivated with the women most of the time and guided his children in their cultivation.
Among them, Han Yan, who had heavy responsibilities, naturally became the focus of his nurturing.
It was mainly because Han Nianxuan, who had the Holy Spirit Body, was extremely talented. She almost did not need Han Zhao’s guidance. As long as she provided sufficient cultivation resources, Han Nianxuan cultivated to the Perfected Seven Fiend realm without any obstruction.
However, because the wind, ice, and lightning fiendish qi were very difficult to absorb, Han Nianxuan’s cultivation progress slowed down greatly.
After all, the process of absorbing the Three Wonders’ fiendish qi was much more troublesome than Han Zhao’s.
First, Han Zhao had to capture spirit beasts of the wind, ice, and lightning attributes. Then, he had to use their flesh and inner core to refine pills.
Then, Han Nianxuan swallowed a pill and absorbed the fiendish qi inside.
Although her cultivation progress slowed down, Han Nianxuan’s strength did not slow down.
At only 31 years old, she had already obtained Han Zhao’s legacy.
Other than cultivating the Longevity Technique to the Perfection of the Fourth
Level, she had mastered all the ten corresponding martial arts of the Ten
paths martial Arts.
Moreover, she had also fused the Heaven Fiend Demon Technique taught by Lu Yingxuan and the Nirvana True Demon Technique taught by Han Zhao, creating a brand new path.
The current Han Nianxuan was so powerful that she could be said to be the number one person in the Fiend Condensation Realm in the Qian Heaven Palace. She could even deal with a Three Revolution Pseudo Divine Power Realm elder.
Although Han Yan had received Han Zhao’s special nurturing, the difference in apt.i.tude still put a considerable distance between him and Han Nianxuan.
The current Han Yan had only just broken through to the Seven Fiend Realm.
However, the Three Yang Body had a relatively high increase in the cultivation method of the Yang attribute. Therefore, with the help of various top- grade and Saint- grade Fire Marrow Pills and Golden Body Pills, Han Yan also cultivated the Indestructible Vajra Divine Technique to an extremely high level.
The Lesser Divine Power strength of the “Sun True Astral” that he condensed was so powerful that even Han Nianxuan did not dare to face it head-on.
After twenty years of raising children, it was finally time to collect the Qian Heaven Palace..
