Capítulo 1721: Chapter 1000:

For the dream of becoming Immortal, for the sake of eternal life, and to become the number one in the Cultivation World, what does robbery even mean?

Many believe themselves to be righteous, yet they harbor greed; it’s just that their greed remains hidden, acting in the shadows!

Without robbery or plunder, relying solely on one’s ability, many can’t go far!

Robbery doesn’t necessarily mean success. Without formidable ability, one won’t possess good things, and even if obtained, such possessions won’t remain long!

This is the Cultivation World: even if you have a Storage Bag, some Magical Treasures for storage, if someone stronger wants to rob you, how do you keep your treasures?

Unless you consume it. Some, after acquiring good items, don’t consume them immediately, hoping an advanced Alchemist can refine them into Pills, enhancing the effects upon consumption!

Just like now, many who’ve obtained Spirit Fruits or Spirit Grass don’t consume them immediately. They gather these items to refine them into Pills according to their properties!

Spirit Fruit isn’t only useful if consumed; it can be soaked with herbs for even better effects!

After numerous battles, the group finally returned to the city!

They each returned to their Clans, and many formed friendships during this battle!

They are extremely grateful, thankful for the help of a family!

This gratitude isn’t just verbal; when they return to their Clan, they must inform them and then personally thank them!

Ye Xuanlong and a group returned to the Clan, but at this time, the Clan was gathered, leaving him no time to rest!

Among this group of travelers, someone died; how did they die?

Before they returned, those guarding the Soul Lamp had reported how many from the Clan had died?

Two days had already passed since this was discovered!

The Clan was in constant meetings, resulting in only one Elder and a few less capable individuals going to welcome the returnees.

The biological son was back, yet the Family Head and Mistress were not very happy!

No small talk or concern was shown!

Many looked at Ye Xuanlong with suspicion, as if already believing that the deaths of the impostor and others were connected to him!

The impostor’s red lamp was extinguished, and the Soul Lamps of those sent to protect him were also extinguished, which would have sent a light and shadow reflection at the moment of their deaths!

Even from afar, these reflections could show the Clan members the last moment of the person whose Soul Lamp was extinguished!

It was this Elder and his descendants; the deaths of so many in one night were due to an array designed by the Ancestor, who placed a Magical Treasure at the Soul Lamp’s location!

The Ancestor was also involved, as well as the former Family Head, his Mistress, and the current Family Head and Mistress.

Elders of all sizes, stewards, and other members of the Clan, regardless of gender or age, had gathered in the square, particularly those who hadn’t gone to the Celestial Mansion Secret Realm!

The returned group didn’t see the gathering as a welcome!

Not all returned, after all!

Among them, some died in the Heavenly Mansion Secret Realm!

Their bodies were brought back by those who returned!

Ye Xuanlong faced the suspicious glances without any hint of guilt!

Confidently believing that no one knew he had killed, and if this was mere conjecture, without evidence, as long as he didn’t admit it, no one could pin the blame on him!

His adoptive parents and brothers were dissatisfied, glaring at others.

When Ye Xuanlong killed the impostor, he created a barrier, so neither the group nor the Guards saw the process, feeling no guilt!

Their expressions were genuine; they couldn’t agree with the false accusations against their family!

The Guards questioned had a memory lapse, with no recollection of the heir committing murder in their minds!

Others didn’t believe their words, but couldn’t prove them false!

These Guards were sent by the former Family Head to protect Ye Xuanlong.

Entering the Heavenly Mansion Secret Realm, they returned with many good things, yet the Clan members still showed them no favor!

The issue with the impostor was, of course, one reason!

The impostor’s original family supporters, those backing the Elder, were still hiding within the Clan!

Supporters of the impostor were unwilling to accept, seeking revenge, wanting Ye Xuanlong for killing the impostor!

“Oh, how pitiful I am! Switched at birth, returning to the Clan to find no maternal or paternal love, now not trusted by relatives, why did I even come back? I should leave!”

Ye Xuanlong lamented pitifully!

“Son, let’s leave, let’s go somewhere better to cultivate.”

His adoptive father’s protective instincts were strong. Though not his biological son, he was a child raised from a young age; they’d shared more feelings during their cultivation days!

Being not by blood meant little difference!

“Yes, let’s leave, find a better place for cultivation. Even returning to our hometown is better than being wrongly accused here!”

His adoptive mother wiped her tears; she’d experienced many battles this day as a woman.

Though cultivated, she still feared!

Without this son’s strength, the young son under his protection was also afraid!

The family stood together, enduring hardships and happiness so long as they were united!

Having witnessed the darkness of the great family, the young son returning felt it could be harsher than being outside!

Returning to the Clan wasn’t about good food leading to happiness!

Like now, forcing the son to confess to the crime!

“Yes, yes, yes, let’s leave, we’ll find a better Immortal Sect to enter.”

A few youths chatted angrily, glaring at others who looked their way; they didn’t want to stay any longer, disdainful of those born wealthy!

The younger brother returned to rejoice, but unhappy, the Clan wouldn’t be joyful either.

Seeing his family’s support moved Ye Xuanlong, leaving him guilty for deceiving them!

To avenge, he killed the impostor, void of regret!

Allowing an impostor to live his life brought constant danger to himself and his family!

He came to terms with it, no longer needing parental love, no longer grieving for their absence!

Rebirth didn’t provide the love of biological parents, nor would it bring heartache now!

His adoptive parents’ love sufficed!

He even thought of taking his adoptive parents and brothers to a better place for cultivation; the Clan couldn’t keep them!

Youths of their kind would embark on training at some Immortal Sects!

Inside the Clan, positions were vulnerable to theft by some!

Ye Xuanlong felt the pressure in becoming the next Family Head’s heir!

So young, with many unexplored places in cultivation waiting for him!

Possessing strength, traveling was preferable!

Taking the adoptive family for a journey would serve them well!

A year of lurking within the group served the sole purpose of returning to the Clan!

Avenging was done; it was time to leave with them!

“Leave if you must; no one’s stopping you!”

The Wife of the Family Head mourned losing her foster son. Her biological son’s rebellion broke her, lacking the intimacy of the foster son.

A child not raised personally bore no connection!

Moreover, there was a possibility the biological son killed the foster son.

Evidence absence aside, proof would result in punishment!

No intent to kill her son was there though resentment lingered!

The Family Head patted his wife’s back, sadness befalling him initially having two sons, now one died a month gone!

Saddened, unlike his wife, he didn’t castigate the biological son!

Though suspecting his biological son, evidence paucity left the sadness unresolved, prohibiting comfort for the son!

“Okay, okay, don’t speak thoughtlessly; without evidence, don’t speak!”

Grandfather Ye, the former Family Head, naturally shielded his grandson!

One son dead meant prioritizing the living, his biological heir!

How could a true grandson be driven away?

Aware of his son’s and daughter-in-law’s disregard for their biological son, he regarded them as foolish, alongside his wife deciding to raise the grandson with them!
