Chapter 6: The Heavenly Assembly

  Yang Fan's expression turned relieved, even in his most desperate moments, there were still people who treated him as they had before.

  Kinship is indeed the most selfless and genuine emotion in this world.

  Although he and Yang Wei are half-brothers, they grew up together since childhood, and the feelings between them are even stronger than those of ordinary biological brothers.

  "Alright, it's getting late, let's go attend the 'Ask the Heavens Conference' together."

  Yang Fan walked calmly through the bustling Yangjia Village, with Yang Lui walking shoulder to shoulder with him, a hint of complexity in his eyes.

  In the early morning, Yang Fan's white hair was so eye-catching.

  An eighteen-year-old youth with a head of white hair fluttering about, revealing desolation amidst his vicissitudes.

  The ordinary people in Yangjia Village mostly knew Yang Fan. After all, among the three generations of descendants, only he could fly with a sword in the sky.

  In the past, his every appearance could bring about a sensation.

  This time is no exception either.

  Wow!

  A commotion broke out in the crowd, and people couldn't help but start discussing it.

  "What's going on? The first genius of the Yang family from Nanling, how did his hair suddenly turn white. Looking at him now, he seems very weak, is he going to participate in the 'Ask Heaven Conference'?"

  "Most likely he's gone mad from practicing his skills too much. I see that even walking is a bit unstable for him now, in this state, can he still participate in the 'Ask Heaven Meeting'?"

  "Hey buddy, you're also a member of the Yang family, shouldn't you know some inside information?"

  "Huh......" The Yang family's young disciple was slightly stunned, and exclaimed in shock: "Yang Fan Shixiong has actually scattered his powers... He's become a useless person!"

  Waste of effort? Useless person?

  This conclusion immediately caused a sensation, like boiling water.

  "What big news! The first genius of the Yang family from Nanling, has actually become a useless person!"

  In an instant, the news that Yang Fan had become a useless person spread like it had grown wings and flew to every corner of Yangjia Village.

  "Haha, it turns out I've become a useless person. Whatever I say, he didn't fly with his sword today and show off in the sky."

  Some people mock and kick others when they are down.

  "Wooo... I saw that he had a head of white hair, it was very desolate. Now he has also lost his magical powers, I think he's quite pitiful."

  A kind-hearted young man of the Yang family could not help but shed tears.

  The people around him immediately cast a contemptuous gaze at him: "No talent..."

  "It serves him right! He's always been so high and mighty, now he's fallen to his death, let him taste the life of an ordinary person."

  ……

  In the crowd, there were snickers and jeers, but some people remained silent, feeling regretful and sympathetic.

  "Shut up, all of you!"

  Yang Lei finally burst out, his luck and magical powers surging, as he shouted loudly.

  In an instant, the whole scene fell silent, and these ordinary people were all intimidated by his momentum.

  Yang Lei was a cultivator, with a cultivation base in the later stages of Qi Refining. Among the three generations of his family's descendants, he was considered to be quite good. In the past, except for his eldest brother Yang Fan and that Yang Guang who had achieved the Great Circle of Qi Refining, there were few among the three generations of his family's descendants who could rival him.

  "Hahaha...... Yang Lei, I heard your voice from far away, what made you so angry?"

  At this moment, a stout monk with an ugly face walked over from not far away. He was about thirty years old, but had a big belly, fat face and big ears. A pair of small eyes almost closed into a slit when he smiled.

  "Li Pangzi?" Yang Lei was taken aback for a moment, then burst into anger: "Get out of here!"

  Li Baozi's full name is Li Fugui, and he is the nephew of Yang Laozu.

  This son is a frivolous and lustful person, often going to various brothels and gathering a group of friends who share his love for wine and meat. In the Yang family area of Nanling, he frequently commits acts that harm heaven and reason, bullying the weak. Over time, ordinary people in Yangjia Fortress and some young men from good families have come to respect him from afar, while others have grown to hate him deeply.

  Even the host Yang Hong was displeased with him.

  However, Li Pangzi was doted on by Yang's elderly grandfather.

  As the master of the house Yang Hong only had this daughter Yang Man, with no son under his knee, so the old ancestor of the Yang family took great care of this orphaned nephew.

  Lao Zu Ye is a man of great prestige, he is the current first generation of the Yang family in Nan Ling, his status is high, and the decisions he makes are not even dared to be disobeyed by the master of the house.

  So, under the protection of Yang's old ancestor, even if Li Baozi did some evil things in peacetime, no one dared to really punish him. The master of the house also turned a blind eye to this, at most giving a verbal warning.

  In the past, only Yang Fan, the first genius in this family, had severely taught Li Baozi a lesson.

  Li Baozi's complaint to Lao Zu would also be in vain. After all, Yang Fan was the pride of the family, and his master, Liu Changlao, was extremely powerful, being one of the best among the second generation.

  "Hey, isn't this our Yangjiabao's number one talent?"

  Li Pangzi's face revealed a radiant smile, gazing at Yang Fan with ill intentions, but ignoring Yang Wei beside him.

  Three months ago, Yang Fan had severely taught Li Baozi a lesson, and he had been harboring resentment in his heart ever since.

  Now Yang Fan has lost his magical powers and become a useless person. What a delightful thing for Li Hui to see!

  The ordinary people around Yangjia Village, as soon as they saw Li Kuai coming, showed a fearful expression, and in their hearts, they were all resentful to the point of desperation.

  "Thanks to your praise, Yang is now just a useless person."

  Yang Fan's face remained calm and unruffled as he spoke, stretching out his hand to restrain his younger brother who was about to lose his temper.

  "Haha... since that's the case, I'll just call you 'Yang Family's Number One Good-for-Nothing', what do you think, Brother Fan?"

  Li Baozi revealed an innocent and harmless smile.

  "Are you looking for trouble?"

  Yang Lei broke free from Yang Fan's hand, his fingers weaving a spell, and a brilliant light flashed. A wave of scorching heat spread through the air.

  Hooooo...

  Three fireballs shot out from his hand in a row, dazzling flames causing the crowd to panic.

  "Ah! Run quickly!"

  "Oh no, the masters are fighting..."

  ……

  Li Baozi was shocked and didn't expect Yang Lei to dare to attack him, so he hastily took out a blue talisman and infused it with his magic power.

  That blue glyph flashed before him, forming a blue water curtain, with a faintly visible blue light flowing inside.

  Boom! Boom! Boom!!

  Three fireballs hit the blue water screen, and ripples rose on it.

  "Listen up, you little brat, and that 'Number One Good-for-Nothing of the Yang Family', just you wait and see!"

  Li Baozi took advantage of the situation and slipped away safely. It's really a strong move, he is no match for Yang Lei.

  This child usually doesn't have the heart to cultivate, although he has received many spiritual elixirs and secret scriptures from the Yang family's ancestors, he is only a Qi-refining beginner, and his cultivation hasn't made any progress in years.

  "Big brother, let's go. If anyone dares to insult you again, I'll beat him up."

  Yang Lei glared at the people around him.

  Yang Fan smiled faintly: "It's just a fly, brother don't let it affect your mood. Cultivators must avoid being restless and anxious."

  "Big brother! Li Pangzi is so insulting you, how can you not be angry?"

  Yang Lei said with a huff.

  "Calm down, calm down."

  Yang Fan walked forward with a calm and peaceful pace, his composure made Yang Lei admire him deeply.

  "Big brother, I admit defeat."

  Yang Lei couldn't help but smile wryly as he followed his older brother to their family's ancestral home.

  ……

  The Yang family of Nanling holds a "Tianwen Conference" every three years, where the head of the household and elders inspect the progress of their children's cultivation to ensure the good development of the next generation.

  As usual, the Qitian Conference was held at the "Qitian Platform" in Yangjiabu.

  "Qingtiantai" is a high platform of about ten feet tall, made of a kind of black anti-magic stone material, extremely hard.

  A black martial arts platform, over a hundred feet long and wide, stood towering on the ground, looking thick and solemn.

  When Yang Fan and the others arrived at "Wen Tian Tai", a large number of family juniors had already gathered here, one by one wiping their fists and rubbing their palms, looking eager to try.

  The Qian Tian Conference is also an opportunity for the three generations of descendants of the Yang family in Nanling to show themselves. If they perform well, they may receive rewards from their elders.

  Yang Fan's arrival naturally caused a sensation.

  "Brother, you know, Yang Fan was the first in our family just yesterday, but now he's become a useless person."

  "Hmph, I've long heard about it. The Yang family of Nanling has given birth to that so-called 'number one good-for-nothing'."

  ……

  The eyes of all the young men in the family were focused on Yang Fan, and they began to discuss it privately.

  Of course, there were also some family members who looked at Yang Fan with a sympathetic and regretful gaze.

  In short, from this moment on, the family's number one genius who was once crowned with countless halos no longer exists.

  Yang Fan tightly grasped his younger brother's hand, preventing him from acting rashly. In a low voice, he said: "Younger brother, don't be impulsive. If you want to avenge me, your older brother, then from now on, cultivate diligently and strive to surpass these people."

  Yang Lei gazed into his brother's eyes, and from those deep, dark pupils, he saw a detached observation, a confident decisiveness, and a wise tolerance.

  In his elder brother's eyes, there wasn't even a hint of despair or loss.

  Yang Lei's spirit was shaken, and he suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness. He took a deep breath and said, "Big brother, I'll listen to you..."

  Yang Fan smiled faintly, and his pair of dark eyes returned to their usual calm state.

  "It's really strange... Just now, that big brother gave me a feeling that I couldn't see through at all."

  Yang Lei was slightly stunned, looking at the determined face of his elder brother Yang Fang, who had lost his magical powers and become a useless person, but he remained calm and composed.

  Xianhong Space

  Yang Fan crouched down, spread out his hands and touched the green land full of infinite vitality.

  Fresh green light spots, along his arm, entered Yang Fan's body in an orderly manner.

  Endless vitality was repairing his body at an unbelievable speed.

  "Who would have thought this green land had such an amazing effect!"

  Yang Fan exclaimed, saying to the small dog beside the thatched cottage.

  "This is natural, the green land can assist in healing wounds, washing marrow and bones, and even nourish the soul. I'm actually looking forward to seeing what kind of results Master will produce after cultivating 'Xianhong Jue'?" The little dog replied, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes again.

  "By the way, in this Xianhong space, besides me, is there anyone else?"

  Yang Fan suddenly asked out his own doubts.

  Just then, a commotion came from in front of the Heavenly Platform:

  "The landlord is here! Quick, look!"

  "All the elders have arrived... Hmm, why can't I see Chief Elder Liu?"

  The external disturbance broke off Yang Fan's connection with Xianhong in space.

  But just in this short moment, his complexion has improved a lot and he no longer looks pale.

  Xianhong Space, is indeed wonderfully extraordinary!
