106: Chapter 106 People from Eagle-Soaring Pass

What Yan Chenyao said was also the true thought in her heart.

She had seen the exchange between Li Yuan and Bai Zhaowei very clearly.

Looking at the younger generation, Li Yuan was indeed very formidable.

Since he could force her elder brother, Yan Chenzhou, to not dare to make a move, who would dare say Li Yuan was incapable?

But if it was said that Li Yuan killed Yan Wudi, she absolutely would not believe it.

Yan Wudi was the second-ranked expert of their Yan Family; if he were placed in any other power in Da Shun, Yan Wudi would be a figure at the level of a Sect Master.

The number one person below the Ninth-Grade, in many cases, he could even be said to be a Family's trump card.

A character like Yan Wudi was not an opponent to be compared with the younger generation.

The other Yan Family elders around them also nodded slightly.

Their views were basically consistent with those of Yan Chenyao and Yan Chenzhou.

On what basis could a young man kill Yan Wudi?

Even the Headmaster of Meifengshan Martial Arts Academy shouldn't be his match.

Thinking of this, Yan Chang's brow remained tightly furrowed.

"The information we have currently obtained all says that this matter is true."

"Furthermore, Second Master Yan is currently completely out of contact..."

"We should just go and take a look at Second Master Yan's Life Tablet; if his life is in danger, the Life Tablet will naturally have issues."

Yan Chenzhou's reminder caused everyone around to suddenly realize.

For elders like Yan Wudi, their Life Tablets were enshrined in a higher ancestral hall.

Usually, most members of the Yan Family were not qualified to go and see them, so everyone had forgotten about this.

When a person's life fades away, the Life Tablet will also break.

Everyone was saying Yan Wudi was dead, so they just needed to go and look at the Life Tablet.

Thinking of this, several Yan Family elders stood up and led everyone toward the depths of the ancestral hall.

Yan Wudi's Life Tablet, just like that of the Yan Family's Ninth-Grade Supreme, was enshrined separately.

The group performed a formal salute before entering the depths of the ancestral hall.

Looking at the Life Tablet enshrined above, several people rubbed their eyes.

After seeing something, they rubbed their eyes even harder.

While rubbing their eyes, several people moved closer.

The members of the Yan Family were not lacking in martial arts strength; even Yan Chenyao was at the Sixth-Grade.

Their eyesight was very strong; even without getting so close, they could see clearly.

But at this moment, several people unconsciously drew closer, walking right up to it.

Until they reached the front of the sacrificial altar.

On the Life Tablet enshrined there, several cracks were spread across it.

The stronger a Martial Artist's strength, the more solid and resilient their Life Tablet would be.

Because of its solid quality, the possibility of a Life Tablet developing cracks was extremely small.

If it wasn't for that reason, then it meant that their Second Master Yan was truly dead.

Thinking of this terrifying outcome, Yan Chang unconsciously reached out and touched the Life Tablet.

With a light touch, the Life Tablet fell apart into several pieces along the cracks.

Seeing this scene, the lips of several Yan family members trembled incessantly.

Yan Chang and several Yan Family elders looked like they wanted to speak.

But at this moment, their trembling lips made them completely unable to speak.

Their Yan Wudi, Second Master Yan, was really... dead...

The evidence of the shattered Life Tablet, combined with the news coming from various channels, was ironclad proof.

Second Master Yan, an Eighth-Grade Great Perfection, had died at the hands of a young man...

The crowd was silent for nearly fifteen minutes.

Yan Chang's trembling lips finally spat out the words: "I need to find the Family Head, I must find the Family Head..."

Saying this, Yan Chang immediately left the ancestral hall.

Since Yan Wudi was dead, this matter was no longer something he could decide.

Generally speaking, they could not go to disturb their own Ninth-Grade Supreme.

But under the current situation, they had to ask the Family Head for his opinion.

At the same time, the news also spread to all parts of Da Shun.

In the Capital of Da Shun, such high-impact news would naturally not be missed by those in the capital.

In the main hall, a middle-aged man was listening to the report from a servant below the steps.

This was already the sixth servant to come and report.

To ensure the news obtained was true and valid, these high-ranking individuals usually arranged for multiple independent scouts to collect information.

This time, he not only finished listening to the news from the scouts he arranged himself but also sent people to buy information.

The purchased news was still consistent, so he finally believed it.

He called his subordinates over to ask about the matter.

"Regarding this young man named Li Yuan, what do you think?"

"Is he really as mysterious as the rumors say?"

Hearing this, the subordinate first bowed, and only after bowing did he respectfully report.

"In response to Your Highness, when I first heard of this, I also did not dare to believe its authenticity."

"But after multiple verifications, it is confirmed that at that time, he truly had such ability."

"Too many people saw it; Yan Wudi indeed died at the hands of Li Yuan."

The Prince sitting on high tilted his head slightly and pressed, "What do you mean by that?"

"What do you mean he 'truly had such ability at that time'?"

Seeing his Prince catch the implication in his words, the subordinate quickly followed up with an explanation.

"According to our inquiries, we discovered that this young man named Li Yuan has some connection with that mysterious Ninth-Grade in Yingyang Pass."

"The methods of a Ninth-Grade Supreme are profound and mysterious; among them is a technique that allows a Martial Artist to inherit a portion of their abilities for a short period."

"If nothing unexpected happened, although Yan Wudi is said to have died at the hands of the young man Li Yuan..."

"...in reality, he ran into that mysterious Ninth-Grade Supreme."

Hearing this, the Prince couldn't help but frown.

"Before the Yan Family went to cause trouble, did our people go to find Li Yuan?"

"In response to Your Highness, we were just one step too late."

"On the Yan Family's side, Yan Wudi's sudden visit disrupted our plans."

"We had originally planned to go on that day as well."

This answer from the subordinate made the Prince quite satisfied.

To not have been entangled in such a troublesome matter was indeed good luck.

"That's not bad then; let the Yan Family go and contend with them."

"Speaking of which, it just so happens that we have no information about that mysterious Ninth-Grade Supreme."

"Taking this opportunity, we can fish for some useful information."

In the past few days, the most popular topics in the capital were also these.

Meifengshan Martial Arts Academy, which had been on the path of decline, also saw a boost in its reputation.

With the appearance of such a young Disciple, the academy was the first to benefit.

Some hesitant small powers, after wavering, heard that its reputation had risen even further and were now willing to send their own juniors there to cultivate.

When Li Yuan spoke with the elders of the academy, he also very frankly stated that his strength might exceed their expectations.

He could handle the crisis brought by the Yan Family himself.

If the Yan Family came to cause trouble again in the future, the academy elders wouldn't need to take action; they just needed to stay out of it.

He would have a way to handle all the trouble.

After Yan Wudi's death, another half month of peaceful days passed.

Half a month had passed, and the Yan Family hadn't come looking for him.

Instead, the City Lords Mansion of Yingyang Pass sent someone over.

Li Yuan knew the person who came; it was Lei Jun, the lieutenant by Wang Jiuxing's side.

After Lei Jun arrived at the academy, he immediately found Li Yuan.

He came to persuade Li Yuan, the reason being that Li Yuan would bring trouble to that mysterious Supreme and make enemies for him.

"Five days ago, that mysterious powerhouse came to find the City Lord..."
