80: Chapter 80 Yin He Wants to Kill Me?

Immortal bones sway in the breeze, swallowing the azure sky; the Willow Immortal binds the chill of the nine heavens.

Nine years ago, Yan Chenzhou was discovered to possess the New Wood Physique and was identified as the Reincarnation of the Willow Immortal.

The entire Yan Family's hopes for the younger generation fell upon Yan Chenzhou's shoulders.

Yan Chenyao was six years younger than Yan Chenzhou.

She was still young back then and hadn't yet developed a heart for competition or vying for favor.

But as she gradually grew up, she realized that the elders' attention toward her elder brother was far greater than their attention toward her.

She began to fight and compete.

Occasionally, she could gain a slight advantage.

Yet, the attention of the Yan Family elders remained fixed on her brother.

They even made her yield her cultivation resources to Yan Chenzhou on multiple occasions.

Among these were resources she had obtained through her own efforts.

Yan Chenyao had long harbored grievances against her brother and truly did not wish him well.

Yan Chenyao knew this in her heart, and many in the Yan Family could sense it as well.

But at this moment, the elders in the ancestral hall were saying she had intentionally lost the competition because she didn't want Yan Chenzhou to receive that benefit.

Yan Chenyao would not accept this label.

"Elders, given the difficulty of the Zhai Tian Terrace, I gave my all just to reach the ninth floor."

"That academy Disciple named Li Yuan isn't as bad as you think."

Upon hearing Yan Chenyao's words, a slight smirk appeared on Yan Chang's face beside her.

"Are you implying that we, the elders of the Yan Family, lack discernment and cannot see that young man's potential?"

"Do you think he is more capable than your brother?"

Faced with the elder's questioning, Yan Chenyao was momentarily speechless, her response hesitant and faltering.

"I'm not saying he's more outstanding than my brother... it's just that the man really isn't that bad..."

Yan Chenyao felt that Li Yuan wasn't bad, but she was even more aware of Yan Chenzhou's talent and potential.

The Yan Family had chosen him as the successor, and even the Family's Ninth-Grade Supreme favored him; how could he possibly be bad?

"I should resolve this matter personally."

"I am the one who needs a Medicine Tester, after all. When others help, they are never fully committed."

"I only ask the elders to trouble themselves with arranging another competition opportunity."

As Yan Chenzhou finished speaking, the surrounding elders nodded. "It wasn't easy to find a suitable Medicine Tester; we naturally cannot let this opportunity slip away so easily."

Beside them, Yan Chang also began to speak about the situation.

"The people I arranged also sent some news last night."

"They said this Li Yuan left the academy to rest in seclusion after the Zhai Tian Terrace competition."

"It seems he must have been injured on the Zhai Tian Terrace."

"We in the Yan Family still have a good grasp of where his abilities lie."

"Letting him test the medicine is a good thing for him, not a mistreatment."

The members of the Yan Family nodded.

Afterward, several elders gathered to discuss the next opportunity to arrange a martial arts competition.

There was also the most important point: Yan Chenyao's loss had given Li Yuan an opportunity to prove himself.

The Yan Family had to carefully deliberate on how to smooth this matter over.

Both Yan Chenzhou and Yan Chenyao then left the ancestral hall.

Looking at her brother's back, Yan Chenyao truly hoped that Li Yuan would work harder and surpass him!

Although the possibility was slim, just thinking about it made her feel a bit better.

The outskirts of the Meifengshan Martial Arts Academy.

Yin He and his Disciple had been cultivating outside for the past few days.

But cultivation was secondary; what Yin He really wanted was to run into Li Yuan in these outskirts.

He knew Li Yuan had gone outside to recuperate.

Rumors within the academy said that Li Yuan had been injured on the Zhai Tian Terrace and had gone out to recover.

Yin He's heart was filled with hatred for this young Disciple.

Ever since Li Yuan arrived at the Meifengshan Martial Arts Academy, he had been constantly plagued by trouble.

He had originally hoped to rely on the new Disciple he had found to regain some of his dignity.

After the Zhai Tian Terrace competition, Yin He knew there was no hope.

The Disciple he had found was naturally inferior to Li Yuan.

He had wanted to rely on his so-called guidance and the Disciple's excellent talent to catch up from behind.

But Li Yuan could reach the eleventh floor of the Zhai Tian Terrace!

With such talent and potential, it was only a matter of Li Yuan surpassing others; how could anyone else surpass him?

Previously, Yin He had constantly cursed Li Yuan for being arrogant and conceited, claiming he was all talk and no real skill.

After these few incidents, he began to recognize his own shortcomings.

He, Yin He, truly lacked discernment, unable to see where a person's true talent and potential lay.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have viewed Li Yuan so poorly.

At this moment, Yin He acknowledged Li Yuan's talent and potential.

And precisely because he acknowledged it, he wanted Li Yuan to disappear from this world even more.

If Li Yuan were allowed to keep growing, one day he might even be surpassed by him.

At that time, when Li Yuan slapped his face in public again, he wouldn't even have the strength to fight back.

So, it would be better to strike before he has fully grown!

Yin He had already made up his mind.

Right now, Li Yuan and the Yan Family had a grudge; if something happened to Li Yuan, the first thing everyone would think of would definitely be the Yan Family.

As an Instructor of the academy, attacking an academy Disciple was a major taboo.

But in such a remote location, there were no witnesses.

It wasn't uncommon for someone to perish in an accident while out cultivating.

Once Li Yuan went missing and things settled down in a couple of years.

The backers behind Yin He could then restore him to his original position.

Yin He now only hoped that Li Yuan would return to the academy from this direction.

When Li Yuan left, he had headed in this direction.

Waiting idly for the prey—he didn't know if he would have the chance to catch it.

If he didn't encounter him, then it would truly be heaven denying him this chance, intending to torment him for the rest of his life.

At this thought, Yin He couldn't help but pray to the heavens, praying that he could intercept Li Yuan here.

At the same time, Li Yuan had stabilized his strength and was on his way back to the academy.

Having stepped into the Ninth Grade Middle Stage, what he saw before him was closer to the essence of the world.

Even for a bird soaring in the sky, Li Yuan could now see its next trajectory.

After returning to the academy and gaining some benefits through the Corpse Looting Technique, his Ninth Grade Great Perfection should be close at hand.

Rushing all the way back, Li Yuan didn't bother to hide or avoid anyone.

In these wilderness areas, he actually felt fewer constraints.

If he encountered any trouble, he would just raise his hand and deal with it.

Half an hour passed, and Li Yuan reached the outskirts of the Meifengshan Martial Arts Academy.

Walking further, the surroundings would become more bustling.

Li Yuan restrained his Aura, preparing to return to the academy.

Just then, an Aura faintly leaked out from the distance.

It seemed intended to be hidden, but before Li Yuan, it couldn't remain concealed.

With a bit of curiosity, Li Yuan walked toward that direction.

After getting a little closer, he clearly saw it was Yin He and his young Disciple.

Li Yuan had no intention of hiding either, walking over quite openly.

Seeing Li Yuan, Yin He was momentarily stunned.

Snapping back to his senses, his face was instantly flooded with immense excitement.

"Interesting, very interesting. Heaven truly has shown me mercy."

"I thought I had missed you, but I never expected you would be led right to me!"

Yin He's excited appearance left Li Yuan somewhat bewildered.

Yin He didn't waste any more words, his hand already gripping his longsword.

The sharp blade gleamed with a silver light, announcing its next move—it was about to drink blood.

"There are many paths back to the academy. Earlier, I was truly worried—worried that you wouldn't take this direction."

"Blessings from the immortals and gods; my thoughts and desires have been rewarded."
