Chapter 1052: Chapter 9 Spirit Might King (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Yu Clan.

Ever since Lin Yuan followed Lord Qingfen to the Domain City, the Yu Clan’s days have been exceedingly comfortable.

How could they not be?

The Great Venerable Qingfen personally arrived to take Lin Yuan away. Such an honor—how many people in the Qingfen Domain can claim the same?

“The Domain City is far too vast, full of intrigue. I wonder if Yu Yan can adapt to life there.”

Yuchi Ling sighed deeply, worried about his son.

“If one seeks great achievements, they must venture to greater places,” Yu Chaolong said beside him. “If he stays in the Yu Clan, no matter how gifted Yu Yan is, his potential will be stifled. At best, he’ll only reach the level of our elders in the future.”

“By going to the Domain City and staying close to Lord Qingfen, Yu Yan stands a great chance of ascending to the Sovereign realm—maybe even…”

Yu Chaolong stopped short of saying that Yu Yan might have a slim hope of touching the Great Lord realm.

Under Lord Qingfen, disciples reaching the Sovereign realm were not unheard of, but even then, they didn’t seem to earn any special recognition from the Great Venerable himself.

“I’m just a little worried,” Yuchi Ling responded, “worried that Yu Yan might be bullied in the Domain City—after all, he’s not strong enough yet.”

“Bullied?”

Yu Chaolong fell silent for a moment. With Lord Qingfen’s favor, on the surface, certainly no one would dare to harm Yu Yan. But in secret—and even more insidious ways—who knows?

“The tallest tree in the forest will be the first to be felled.”

Lord Qingfen had shown such overt preference for Yu Yan—what must the other senior disciples be thinking?

If it’s a short duration, it may not matter. But over time, undeserved favor without strength to match could become more of a liability than a blessing.

“This…”

Yu Chaolong couldn’t help but feel worried as well.

Just then.

From outside came the ripples of spatial distortion; a figure descended and rushed straight into the Yu Clan’s household.

“Patriarch, something major has happened in Domain City—something major!” This was one of the Yu Clan’s warriors, tasked with gathering intelligence from the outside world.

“Domain City? Something major?”

Yu Chaolong’s heart tightened. His son was currently in Domain City—could it have something to do with Yu Yan?

Yuchi Ling, standing beside him, clearly had the same thought, his expression equally tense.

“What major event happened in Domain City?”

A few Yu Clan elders appeared, their faces grave.

“Young Master Yan—Young Master Yan…” The warrior from the Yu Clan paused, his expression tinged with disbelief, clearly shaken by the news he had received.

“What happened to Yu Yan?”

Yu Chaolong furrowed his brow tightly; even if Yu Yan had caused some major trouble in Domain City, there was no reason to beat around the bush like this.

“Young Master Yan has become a Great Lord.”

The Yu Clan warrior steadied himself, his voice trembling slightly.

Upon hearing this.

Including the Yu Clan elders, everyone fell into stunned silence.

A Great Lord?

Yu Yan?

“Are you spouting nonsense?”

Yu Chaolong immediately reacted.

“Patriarch, this is absolutely true—Lord Qingfen himself said so,” the warrior promptly replied.

When he first received the news, he had thought it was a hoax, but after multiple confirmations—especially regarding the calamities in Qingfen City caused by the Purple Dream Domain—it became undeniably clear: Young Master Yan had indeed become a Great Lord.

“I’ll go inquire further.”

The Yu Clan elders exchanged glances and immediately reached out to their connections to verify the news from Domain City.

Yu Chaolong did the same.

After a short while.

The elders of the Yu Clan opened their eyes, their faces alight with excitement.

In truth, even if they didn’t inquire, soon enough many factions would proactively contact the Yu Clan, eager to inform them and build favorable ties.

“A Great Lord—Yu Yan has indeed become a Great Lord.”

“According to Lord Qingfen, he had discovered Yu Yan’s exceptional talent and aptitude a long time ago when he happened to pass by the Yu Clan. He then quietly accepted Yu Yan as his disciple.”

“This was kept secret, though, until Yu Yan ascended to the rank of Great Lord. Lord Qingfen himself came personally to take him away.”

“Who would have thought? Yu Yan actually ascended to the rank of Great Lord within the Yu Clan? Such hidden brilliance—how could I, an elder, not have noticed?”

“And that Dongyang Family—they dared to attempt to assassinate Yu Yan? To assassinate a Great Lord? Hahaha! It’s fortunate Yu Yan didn’t even bother to retaliate at the time.”

The Yu Clan elders were beside themselves with emotion, their excitement uncontainable.

They had no reason to doubt the narrative—after all, without Lord Qingfen’s covert guidance and cultivation, how could Lin Yuan possibly ascend to the Great Lord realm?

“My son—he’s ascended to the Great Lord realm?”

Yu Chaolong, too, was overwhelmed with shock. He had expected Yu Yan to perhaps, after countless years of struggle, barely touch the threshold of the Great Lord realm—yet now it had already happened?

“Yu Yan…” Yuchi Ling was equally thrilled. At the very least, as a Great Lord, there wouldn’t be anyone in the entire Domain City who would dare bully him.

“Many factions are already preparing to visit our Yu Clan…” one of the elders remarked.

Their purpose, of course, was to pay homage to the newly ascended Great Lord, Yu Yan.

“Elder, I believe our most urgent task for now,” Yu Chaolong interjected, “is to reform the atmosphere within our Yu Clan.”

Originally, when Lin Yuan was taken to Domain City by Lord Qingfen, the Yu Clan had risen to the ranks of the top-tier families, and Yu Chaolong had begun to sense that some members of the clan were growing increasingly arrogant and reckless.

Yu Chaolong had already intended to deal with this sooner or later—but now, with news of Yu Yan’s ascension to Great Lord, he decided it couldn’t wait any longer.

If left unchecked, certain members of the Yu Clan might exploit Lin Yuan’s reputation to commit all sorts of misdeeds and troubles.

Yu Chaolong was acutely self-aware; while he couldn’t offer much to help Lin Yuan, he certainly wouldn’t allow anyone to drag Lin Yuan down.

“Naturally.”

The Yu Clan elders nodded in agreement without hesitation.

An arrogant and unrestrained clan was certainly not a good thing.

…

Qingfen City.

Sky Burning Court.

Lin Yuan and Lord Qingfen sat facing each other.

“So, this Purple Dream Domain—this was their scheme all along!”

Lord Qingfen looked at the Myriad Formation Crystal in Lin Yuan’s hand, a flicker of dread flashing across his face.
