181: The women stormed the tower, shattering Xiao Fan's Dao heart!

Thinking of this, Xiao Fan puffed out his chest and intentionally said loudly, "Isn't this the Azure Cloud Sect Old Ancestor?"

"What? Have you also brought people to mooch off my Qin Family's Opportunity?"

He specifically emphasized the words "my Qin Family," trying to regain a bit of a sense of superiority through his status.

Lu Yuan's footsteps paused slightly, and he gave him a faint glance.

That kind of gaze was like a Dragon looking at a grasshopper hopping by its feet.

There was neither anger nor disdain, only a complete disregard.

"Step aside."

Lu Yuan uttered two words.

"You..."

Xiao Fan was choked with rage and was about to lash out.

But then he saw Qin Mengyao step out from behind Lu Yuan, looking at him with a frown and a stern tone:

"Fan'er, do not be rude!"

"Back down at once!"

"Mother..." Xiao Fan's heart ached, his face full of grievance. "I just cleared the fifth floor! I broke the Family record!"

"So what?"

Qin Mengyao said coldly, "This only proves that you were too useless before."

"In front of your Uncle Lu, how can you have the nerve to show off such a small achievement?"

"Get out of the way now, don't block your Uncle Lu's path!"

These words were like a bucket of ice water poured over Xiao Fan from head to toe, chilling him to the core.

He stared blankly at his mother, then at the indifferent Lu Yuan, feeling as if something inside him had shattered.

"Uncle Lu... Uncle Lu..."

"In your eyes, am I really that worthless?"

Xiao Fan gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot, as he silently retreated to the side, but the hatred in his heart grew wildly like weeds.

He clenched his fists tightly, his nails almost sinking into his palms, bringing a sharp, piercing pain.

Beside Lu Yuan, the mother he thought of day and night and craved recognition from—Qin Mengyao—was now clinging to Lu Yuan's side like a young girl in the first flush of love.

The look in Qin Mengyao's eyes as she watched Lu Yuan was something Xiao Fan had never seen before.

It was a look of unreserved worship, admiration, and even a hint of humble fawning.

From time to time, she turned her head to whisper to Lu Yuan, her face flushed with happiness. That gentle, water-like appearance was a world apart from her cold and stern demeanor toward Xiao Fan!

"Why..."

Xiao Fan roared in his heart, his eyes bloodshot. "I am your biological son! I am the flesh and blood you carried for ten months!"

"Why are you so intimate with an outsider, yet completely ignore me, your own son?"

"Lu Yuan... you hypocrite! Just what kind of bewitching potion did you give my mother!"

What made Xiao Fan feel even more stifled was that the head of the Qin Family, Qin Xuanqiong, a Late Stage Body Integration Refining Void Great Power who was usually majestic and feared even by the Family Elders...

...was now also accompanying Lu Yuan, his face full of smiles and his posture extremely low, as if Lu Yuan were the Revered Master of the Qin Family and he was merely a supporting butler.

This kind of treatment, like being the moon surrounded by stars, was something even Xiao Fan, who had just broken the Family record, had never enjoyed in the slightest.

Before this group, he, the so-called "Ancient Sacred Body" and "Qin Family Prodigy," was like an unwanted orphan standing alone in a corner, appearing particularly eyesore and redundant.

"Just wait and see..."

Xiao Fan took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart, a cold arc curling at the corners of his mouth. "The taiyi dharma derivation pagoda cannot be cleared with just talk."

"I want to see just how many floors you vases, who only know how to depend on a man, can clear!"

"When you come out in disgrace, let's see what face you'll have to put on airs in front of me!"

He folded his arms, waiting leisurely to see Lu Yuan and the others make fools of themselves.

Before the pagoda.

Lu Yuan paid no mind to Xiao Fan's malicious gaze. He simply looked up at the towering pagoda, then turned to the ladies behind him.

"Go on."

Lu Yuan smiled faintly. "Don't feel any pressure. Just treat it as an outing and collect some Law Crystal Silk to improve your cultivation while you're at it."

"Yes, Husband (Revered Master)."

The ladies responded in unison, then transformed into five streaks of light, each entering the pagoda's gate.

"Buzz!"

The lights on the first floor of the taiyi dharma derivation pagoda instantly lit up.

Immediately after.

Under the shocked gazes of all the Qin Family Disciples, the light representing the progress began to climb at a staggering speed!

The world inside the pagoda.

Fifth Floor, Fire-Element World.

Lava churned across the sky as several Li-Fire Divine Bulls, condensed from Law, roared and charged out. Each had a terrifying combat power comparable to the Early Stage Golden Core, and they were immortal and extremely difficult to deal with.

Su Yueli stood amidst the sea of fire, but showed no sign of panic.

"Hehe, little bulls, why so fierce?"

She covered her mouth and giggled, her fingers flicking as a pink mist instantly spread out.

The moment they inhaled the mist, the movements of the originally violent Li-Fire Divine Bulls became slow and sluggish, the ferocity in their eyes replaced by confusion.

Su Yueli strolled forward, a purple short blade appearing in her hand as she wove through the herd of bulls like a butterfly flitting through flowers.

"Puff! Puff! Puff!"

As the blade light flashed, the divine bulls disintegrated one after another, turning into wisps of crimson Law Crystal Silk, which she inhaled and swallowed completely.

Fifth Floor, cleared!

At the same time, in another space.

Xiao Yuechan faced the Geng-Gold Sword Qi flying all over the sky with a cold expression. She simply raised her hand, and her Beiming Ice Soul Body erupted in full force.

"Crack!"

The extreme cold swept out, and the incomparably sharp Geng-Gold Qi was actually frozen into ice sculptures in mid-air, then shattered into a sky full of ice shards.

Fifth Floor, cleared!

As a Refining Void Great Power, although Fairy Lengyue's cultivation was suppressed, her understanding of Law far exceeded that of ordinary people.

Relying solely on her own comprehension of the Taiyin Law, she easily froze the Earth-Element Giant Ape of the fifth floor.

She easily cleared the fifth floor.

Outside.

The Qin Family Disciples in the square were already dumbfounded.

"Look! All the lights on the fifth floor are on!"

"My God! They... they all actually cleared the fifth floor?"

"And they're so fast! Much faster than Young Revered Master Xiao Fan just now!"

The sneer on Xiao Fan's face instantly froze.

How is this possible?

These women could all clear the fifth floor? And they made it look so easy?

But this was only the beginning.

"Buzz!"

The lights on the sixth floor lit up.

That was the Domain of the Yin and Yang Law!

Gu Qingxue, dressed in a moon-white palace dress, stood at the intersection of the Yin and Yang Qi.

Opposite her, a Jade Rabbit condensed from the Taiyin Law and a Golden Crow condensed from the Sun Law were emitting a terrifying pressure, attacking alternately with cold and heat.

"taiyin treasure mirror."

Gu Qingxue gave a light shout, and the copper mirror floated above her head.

"True Immortal Image of the Lunar Yin!"

Behind her, although that grand True Immortal Image had its Realm suppressed, its high-and-mighty status could not be erased.
