Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1826: Chapter 1103: I Can’t Hide My Sword Anymore (Part 3)

Que Lingyu promptly bowed and replied, "Yes!"

This meant abandoning Cangyu Mountain, but she had no reluctance; instead, her heart was filled with joy.

Because she grew up on Hidden Sword Mountain, and compared to Cangyu Mountain, she actually preferred Hidden Sword Mountain.

At that moment, a large bird flew up to the clouds and reached the summit.

"Reporting to the True Monarch, there is someone seeking an audience outside the mountain gate, claiming to be a White Cloud Disciple named Yun Fan!" Mystic Gold Lin Nue reported.

Jian Changhe, hearing this, looked at the Heavenly Sword True Monarch. Yun Fan’s purpose was obvious; he was certainly here seeking refuge.

Currently, White Cloud Dao is in Qingli Immortal City, and although Qingli Immortal City is on the northern edge of the Yunxiao Mountain Range, once the Unpredictable Ghost Sect launches an attack, Qingli Immortal City will no longer be safe.

At this time, Yun Fan coming to Hidden Sword Mountain for refuge is only normal.

Heavenly Sword True Monarch frowned, "Ignore them."

Jian Changhe advised, "Founder, Yun Fan and the others still have some strength."

Before he could finish, Heavenly Sword True Monarch waved his hand to interrupt, "We don’t need them."

Currently, White Cloud Dao still has quite a few people left. Yun Fan and Yun Bi are both at the Peak of Foundation Establishment, which makes them outstanding among Foundation Establishment Cultivators. Additionally, there are Yun Chuan, Yun Zhe, Yun Shang, Yun Che, and several other Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

Although there are no Golden Core Cultivators, these brothers united are still a considerable force.

Jian Changhe thought these people could be useful, at least they could help Hidden Sword Mountain face the Unpredictable Ghost Sect’s Ghost Soldiers army.

But Heavenly Sword True Monarch didn’t need these people; his path wasn’t to dominate the world or to spread teachings across the land, but to surpass the past Wanhua Daoist Master.

He didn’t need armies to occupy territory, nor did he need to spread his Sword Dao, nor did he need a large number of cultivators.

For him, having too many disciples at Hidden Sword Mountain wasn’t ideal, because if there were too many disciples, he would need to worry about their cultivation resources.

So for him, maintaining the status quo was best.

As for the Unpredictable Ghost Sect, he had his own ways to deal with them.

...

Outside the mountain gate of Hidden Sword Mountain.

Yun Fan left feeling deeply troubled.

He hadn’t expected Hidden Sword Mountain to turn him away, making him feel incredibly upset.

The former White Cloud Immortal City was so glorious, but now the White Cloud Dao has fallen so much.

Thinking of all the experiences over the years, Yun Fan’s heart was filled with a sense of helplessness.

Starting from the Battle of Dalisi Mountain, White Cloud True Monarch disappeared, several senior brothers and sisters died in battle, then came the attacks from the Earth-shaking Tiger and Golden-winged Eagle clans on White Cloud Immortal City, Yun Hai’s final moment calling down the Heavenly Tribulation.

Then there was the establishment of Sky Cloud Sword Sect, the battle of True Yang Immortal City, and now this.

Even White Cloud True Monarch is dead, let alone those Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

Yun Fan muddledly returned to Qingli Immortal City.

"Senior Brother!" Yun Bi looked at him with some concern.

Yun Fan shook his head, laughed bitterly, "Hidden Sword Mountain refused us!"

Yun Bi, hearing this, didn’t show much emotion, "Then we only have one choice left!"

"What choice?"

"The Yang family!"

Yun Fan fell silent.

Their choices weren’t many; either they hide, or they join other forces.

Hiding was impossible.

Because they had nowhere to hide.

It’s not simply finding a place to hide, and then they would be safe.

Safety was one thing, but what about cultivation?

The Spiritual Wilderness is the safest place. No matter how chaotic the battles get in the Five Domains of Wanhua, the Spiritual Wilderness remains danger-free.

Because no one would fight over the Spiritual Wilderness.

But going to the Spiritual Wilderness means giving up the path.

Without Spiritual Energy, how could they cultivate?

It’s not just the Spiritual Wilderness, any other place without Spirit Veins is meaningless to them.

They can escape Qingli Immortal City now, but what happens after they escape?

The Wanhua Domain is so vast, yet has no place for them.

However, the Yang family does.

The Yang family has a Grotto Heaven, and they can hide there.

"Yang Zhenjun still bears us some goodwill; he should be willing to take us in!" Yun Bi said.

Yun Fan nodded slightly, "I will go to the Yang Family Blessed Land and seek an audience with Yang Zhenjun now!"

This was their last choice. If Yang Zhenshan wasn’t willing to take them in, then they would truly have to give up the path and find a place without Spirit Veins to hide.
