At this moment, Jin Youxi and Liu Weiwei, who had followed and run out, were completely stunned.
The two of them looked at Su Yan in shock.
They had never imagined that this Shiniang's true identity was actually the great-granddaughter of the Dugu family's Martial Saint.
But what did she mean by 'wiping out the Duan family'?
Wasn't it the Devouring Heaven Club that destroyed the Duan family?
And Shiniang is also a Martial Saint!
Jin Youxi and Liu Weiwei felt the information overload was too much.
Their brains couldn't process it all at once.
Dugu Sword Demon snorted coldly.
"Lingyue severed ties with the family back then to be with Su Yuanshan."
"So you don't count as my great-granddaughter, and there is no familial affection between us!"
Su Yan said with a giggle:
"Mom once said that my dad and her grandfather were alike, both stubborn mules!"
A vein throbbed on Dugu Sword Demon's forehead.
Dugu Lingyue was originally the third-generation descendant he valued most in the family.
She possessed extremely high talent in sword arts and had a cold, aloof, and proud personality.
But she lost to her contemporary, Su Yuanshan, in a major competition.
In the end, she was even whisked away by Su Yuanshan.
Dugu Sword Demon was furious at the time.
He demanded Su Yuanshan marry into their family, but was flatly refused.
Watching the genius his family had nurtured suddenly become a member of the Su family of Donghai...
Because Su Yuanshan was inflexible in his actions,
he rampantly killed the playboys of the Sacred Capital, which naturally included people from the Dugu family.
This eventually led to a complete falling out with the Dugu family as well.
He just never expected that when the nine great families targeted Su Yuanshan, his own granddaughter would also meet her demise.
Now, seeing Su Yan again,
he couldn't help but think of that sword prodigy granddaughter from back then.
Even more unexpected was that his granddaughter's daughter was even more of a genius.
At just over thirty years old, she had already reached the Martial Saint level.
Su Yan continued, looking at Dugu Sword Demon:
"Uncle told me that among those who killed my father back then, there were also people from the Dugu family."
Dugu Sword Demon narrowed his eyes.
As a Martial Saint,
he hardly involved himself in family affairs.
Upon reaching the Martial Saint level, one naturally no longer concerned themselves with the family's development.
Unless a major event occurred within the family,
no one would disturb him.
As for the matter of killing Su Yuanshan back then,
by the time Dugu Sword Demon learned of it, many years had already passed.
Regarding the death of his granddaughter Dugu Lingyue,
he merely sighed.
At his level of cultivation, he no longer placed much importance on life and death, whether of others or his own.
Su Yuanshan's death was somewhat expected.
Too rigid, easily broken.
Su Yuanshan's nature was even more unbending than his, a swordsman.
Such an outcome was not surprising.
But now, seeing his great-granddaughter as the leader of the Devouring Heaven Club,
it stirred killing intent within him.
If Su Yan hadn't been so close to Chen Feng, he wouldn't have understood the situation.
The moment he returned to the Kunlun Sanatorium earlier,
he might have just cut her down with a single sword strike.
Dugu Sword Demon looked at Su Yan and asked:
"What is your relationship with Chen Feng?"
Su Yan replied cheerfully:
"Chen Feng is kind of your great-grandson-in-law, you know."
Dugu Sword Demon was stunned!
Chen Feng married the leader of the Devouring Heaven Club?
Then the previous rumors that Chen Feng was with the Devouring Heaven Club... could they be true?
At this moment,
Dugu Sword Demon found Chen Feng even more inscrutable.
He simply couldn't figure out what this young man was thinking.
In his impression,
Chen Feng was just a youth who hadn't been hardened much by society's harshness.
A passionate young man filled with fervor.
In modern terms, a brainless do-gooder.
Wanting to use his own passion to warm the cold world.
But now, with Chen Feng and Su Yan involved together,
it confused Dugu Sword Demon about Chen Feng's stance.
"That kid Chen Feng... he doesn't know your identity, does he?"
Dugu Sword Demon asked.
Su Yan smiled slightly, the corner of her mouth curling up.
"What! Does Great-grandfather feel I'm not good enough for him?"
Dugu Sword Demon raised his hand, and a sword aura shot into the sky.
Su Yan remained smiling:
"Killing me might be good. It might cool Chen Feng's passionate blood a bit."
Dugu Sword Demon's eyes narrowed further.
He felt that if he killed Su Yan,
he might have to kill Chen Feng as well.
Otherwise, Daxia might produce another enemy like Zhang Bowen.
But killing Chen Feng...
then likely none of Chen Feng's disciples could be spared.
After all, these people were all monstrously talented, one more so than the last.
Especially that Zhao Bing, whom he valued most.
Once these people grew up,
they would inevitably become major troubles as well.
Dugu Sword Demon gradually retracted his sword aura.
The matter of the Devouring Heaven Club,
he decided not to intervene.
He would leave it for the Martial Arts Association to handle themselves.
After all, once Su Yan became a Saint, she would no longer be able to act freely in the Sacred Capital.
The enemies of the Devouring Heaven Club, the remaining seven of the nine great families, all had their headquarters in the Sacred Capital.
And right now, there were more important things than killing Su Yan.
The changes in the Kunlun Mountains.
Dugu Sword Demon withdrew his killing intent.
He stopped paying attention to Su Yan.
Once again, he turned around, staring intently at the sky above the Kunlun Mountains.
At the slowly rotating thunderstorm.
Su Yan smiled and looked at her two shijies.
"You have to keep my secret for me!"
"Your Shifu still doesn't know my true identity."
Jin Youxi asked somewhat incredulously:
"You are the leader of the Devouring Heaven Club?"
Su Yan nodded.
Jin Youxi was shocked.
So, the earlier online suspicions that Shifu was connected to the Devouring Heaven Club... were actually true!
Liu Weiwei frowned and asked:
"Then why did your people attack my Shifu back then?"
Su Yan patiently explained:
"At that time, this Shiniang hadn't yet encountered your Shifu."
"But it was precisely the failure of that operation that made me pay attention to your Shifu."
At this moment, Jin Youxi desperately wanted to call immediately.
To tell Shifu about this.
"Shifu is so kind-hearted. If he finds out Su Yan is the leader of an evil organization,"
"he might very well get a divorce."
"Then wouldn't Shimei and I have another chance!"
But right now, the entire Kunlun City was experiencing a massive blackout.
Mobile phones had also lost signal.
This troubled Jin Youxi somewhat.
But seeing the thunderstorm clouds over the Kunlun Mountains,
her worry immediately turned into concern.
At the same time.
At a small village on the border of the Northern Continent.
Mi Chuan exclaimed excitedly:
"It's coming, it's coming! Old Zhang is awesome!"
"Old Feng, look at this scale! Movie special effects aren't this impressive!"
This place bordered Daxia.
Even part of the sealing fog from the Kunlun Mountains extended onto this continent.
Feng Tengyun's usually impassive expression showed a trace of gravity at this moment.
"The Kunlun Ancestral Vein has nurtured a flood dragon!"
"A brand new era is about to begin."
Daxia, Sacred Capital.
The Western Continent, Southern Continent, Northern Continent.
The three continents' chief executives had just arrived in the Sacred Capital to sign the humiliating surrender agreement.
From now on,
the three continents would become history.
Ye Wujiang and representatives from the other six great families looked at the three continents' chief executives with mockery.
At this very moment, the event was being live-streamed across the entire network.
Ye Wujiang said to the three continents' chief executives with a smile:
"As long as you behave obediently from now on, we're all one family."
While saying this,
though he tried hard to restrain himself, he couldn't help but let the corner of his mouth curl up.
A few representatives from the other six great families couldn't hold back and laughed out loud on the spot.
The three continents' chief executives
cursed inwardly.
"What do you mean by 'behave obediently'?"
"Do you really consider us as part of the family?"
"That old fool clearly has ulterior motives."
...

grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)

transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
