96: Chapter 96 Assassination, Tracking

Yan Chenyao's words were clearly a complete retort, throwing back exactly what Yan Chenzhou had said to her before.

The always confident and conceited Yan Chenzhou was losing face like this for the first time in so many years.

Yan Chenzhou's expression was ugly, but he couldn't find any other words to argue back.

"Enough, Yan Chenyao, are you still a Yan family member?"

"Does it make you feel good to see your own Family suffer?"

Unable to bear seeing her son suffer, his mother spoke up to scold Yan Chenyao from the side.

Yan Chenyao, who had originally let it go, immediately dropped her expression.

"Auntie wants to step out and judge now? Why didn't anyone say anything when I was being scolded earlier!"

"Am I not a Yan family member?"

"When I was suffering and being wronged, why didn't you speak up for me!"

"Seeing Yan Chenzhou humiliated really does make me feel good."

"As for this Drug Trial Opportunity, I advise you to stop thinking about it."

"Lacking the ability of others yet wanting them to help with Drug Trials—how thick-skinned."

After saying this, Yan Chenyao turned and left directly, no longer staying in the ancestral hall.

Yan Chenzhou's mother shouted from the side that she was rebelling, saying Yan Chenyao had no manners.

However, the other Yan Family elders around them couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

The Yan Family did not belong to just one person.

Even if they were biased, it shouldn't be too excessive.

Moreover, it now seemed that Yan Chenzhou was not as outstanding as they had expected.

He was not like the Yan Family Head in his youth, who surpassed others by a massive margin.

"Arguing back and forth, this matter still needs a resolution."

"How exactly should the conflict between Chenzhou and that Li Yuan be handled? Give us a straight answer."

"Once we decide, let's not dwell on it anymore."

Yan Chang stood up and asked for the opinions of everyone in the ancestral hall.

Yan Chenzhou's mother's opinion was very clear.

Use force.

Forget about reputation and prestige; use the Yan Family's powerful influence to threaten him.

Furthermore, the threat she spoke of wasn't just breaking a promise.

It wasn't just that they wouldn't help Li Yuan with Drug Trials after losing to him.

They also wanted to use the Yan Family's power to force Li Yuan to conduct Drug Trials for Yan Chenzhou.

"For the Yan Family to have developed to this day, some benefits should rightfully be ours."

"Being too concerned with rules and reason will only drag the Yan Family down."

"This child, Chenzhou, is the future of our Yan Family."

"We absolutely cannot let this Medicine Tester go."

"Didn't the heavens make him appear just for Chenzhou?"

"If we don't seize this Opportunity, we would be failing the heavens' kindness."

Yan Chenzhou's mother spoke quite passionately.

She did her best to inspire those around her to make up their minds.

"I can tell you all, if we don't take control of this Li Yuan, he will soon be snatched up by other forces."

"Everyone can see that this Li Yuan's future potential isn't high."

"But he can influence Chenzhou, and influence our Yan Family..."

Yan Chenzhou's mother was lying through her teeth.

Li Yuan, clearly at a younger age, had forced Yan Chenzhou to be afraid to even make a move.

Yet in his mother's eyes, Li Yuan's future potential was still not high.

The other Yan Family elders clamored and discussed for a long time.

Finally, a letter was sent in from outside, allowing everyone to reach a consensus.

The contents of the letter were from the Yan Family Head, that Ninth-Grade Supreme.

There were only three words in the letter: [Seize the Opportunity].

Once these three words appeared, the Yan family members no longer had any hesitation.

These three words already made his opinion clear.

He wanted the Yan Family to fight for Yan Chenzhou.

Opportunities are not waited for; they are fought for and seized.

The Yan Family Head's path of cultivation was the same; he didn't achieve what he has today by waiting at home.

Since the Ninth-Grade Supreme of the Family knew and had made arrangements.

Then what did Yan Chang and the others have to hesitate about?

Just do as their Family head said.

First, they would learn about Li Yuan's identity and background.

The opinion of Meifengshan Martial Arts Academy could be temporarily ignored.

Disciples of the academy all had their own respective powers they belonged to; they weren't raised in the academy.

If they could get the consent of the power behind Li Yuan, then the Yan Family could legally ignore the academy entirely.

The discussion ended, and everyone was assigned their respective tasks and began execution.

The Yan Family was a very large power.

They also had many channels for gathering information.

Li Yuan's identity, background, and situation at Yingyang Pass would soon be investigated thoroughly.

In half a month at most, they could go to Yingyang Pass to settle the matter.

While the Yan Family was discussing this, Qianqiu Mountain also began to discuss the matter.

Unlike the Yan Family's demand to fight aggressively.

Qianqiu Mountain mostly chose to compromise.

Ruan Xingqiao was to bow her head and admit her mistake; if Li Yuan made any demands, they could be granted as long as they didn't harm the Sect's interests.

Qianqiu Mountain's decision showed their abandonment of Ruan Xingqiao.

In the eyes of the rulers of Qianqiu Mountain, by defeating Bai Zhaowei and Yan Chenzhou at the Tian-grade Talent Conference.

Li Yuan would soon be able to climb into a top-tier power.

As long as Li Yuan was willing, many powers would be willing to recruit him.

Ruan Xingqiao's talent was actually quite good for this generation, but she was too obedient.

For a major Sect, it was acceptable for a problem to arise in this generation.

It would just mean waiting another twenty-odd years.

Additionally, there were many factions within Qianqiu Mountain, not just the Ruan family lineage.

Taking this Opportunity, the power dynamics within Qianqiu Mountain would also change.

In a wing room on the back mountain, Ruan Xingqiao looked at her parents.

The two had already scolded Ruan Xingqiao.

Especially since all of this was because of that Meng Guidu.

Because of a traitor, so many troublesome things had happened.

But after the scolding, the matter still had to be resolved.

Ruan Xingqiao was their biological daughter; they couldn't really leave her to fend for herself.

In this Small courtyard, their Family finally reached a consensus.

Strike and eliminate this young man, Li Yuan.

This young man's strength was truly extraordinary.

He even already had the ability to fight against mature Martial Artists.

It was precisely for this reason that they had to act faster to deal with him.

Time was on Li Yuan's side.

In a few more years, Li Yuan would be even stronger, perhaps even stepping into the Sixth-Grade or Seventh-Grade.

At that time, if they wanted to act against Li Yuan, they would have to invite Eighth-Grade experts from the Sect.

"Since we've decided, let's not hesitate."

"A mere Corpse-collecting soldier from Yingyang Pass who happened upon some small Opportunity."

"There are countless Opportunities in this world, and many young people find them, but very few truly grow up."

"He doesn't know restraint or caution, so what he encounters is exactly what he deserves."

After their discussion, Ruan Xingqiao's Family set out from Qianqiu Mountain that very night.

Since they were going to act, they had to move quickly.

The World Talents Convention had just ended, and the various powers had not yet fully recovered.

There would likely be gaps in the security of the guards around Li Yuan.

But for them, there was only one chance.

If they failed once, the difficulty of acting against Li Yuan again would surely skyrocket.

If they succeeded, the current crisis they faced would likely dissipate.
