Chapter 116: Chapter 116: Breakthrough in Desperation, Shocking All Around

Just when Fang Hao thought he was certain to win, "Ye Lingyue," who was still sitting beside the bed, revealed a smug smile of successful conspiracy.

She was just waiting for Fang Hao to leave Governor Lan’s body so that she could heal him.

Suddenly, she raised her right hand, and on it, a blinding black light flashed.

In the black light, a cauldron the size of a fingernail grew bigger and bigger, levitating in midair.

The black light emitted by the Black Cauldron, like an unavoidable spider’s web, enveloped Fang Hao’s soul body.

The Qian Cauldron produced a strong suction force, drawing Fang Hao’s soul body into it.

"Impossible, you’re just a Third Rank Alchemist, how could you possibly cultivate a Solid Rank..." Fang Hao screamed in misery, but, sadly, he never had the chance to get an answer.

After the Qian Cauldron completely devoured Fang Hao’s soul, it hummed contentedly like after a satisfying meal, spun around, then turned into a black light, and transformed into a Cauldron Seal, returning to Ye Lingyue’s right hand.

Ye Lingyue glanced at the Qian Cauldron again; Fang Hao’s Evil Method had turned into a pool of bloodwater, and then she looked at the Qian Cauldron in her hand, which emitted a bright black glow.

At this time, Governor Lan on the bed uttered some delirious mumbling.

Ye Lingyue came back to her senses and walked over to find that the engorged redness on Governor Lan’s face and body was fading away.

Ye Lingyue breathed a sigh of relief. After killing the Evil Alchemist Fang Hao, Governor Lan’s old illness was naturally cured. Just as she was about to take Governor Lan’s pulse, a dazzling light burst forth from his body.

The light was black and white, forming a Yin Yang symbol, a Taiji Bagua talisman-like pattern.

The pattern turned into a light column, emitting a brilliance that shot straight into the sky.

It was already night, and the light column illuminated the entire Li City as if it were daylight.

The residents of the city saw this phenomenon and came out one after another, discussing the light pillar emanating from the governor’s mansion.

Inside Feng Residence, Feng Xun also saw the light column, and Old Sir Mu remarked beside him,

"It seems that Governor Lan has made a breakthrough."

"Lan Yingwu is indeed a hero among men. It’s Emperor Xia’s incompetency that led him to fall from grace. After this ordeal and breakthrough, he will certainly achieve greatness," Feng Xun said, squinting his phoenix eyes at the light pillar with a complex and blurred gleam in his eyes.

"What happened?" Lan Cai’er and others who had been waiting outside the room heard the noise, couldn’t help but burst through the door, and were breathless with disbelief upon seeing the transformation befalling Governor Lan.

That was...

"Father, father is going to break through, to the Reincarnation Realm!" Lan Cai’er exclaimed.

Reincarnation Realm?

Ye Lingyue had never encountered a master of the Reincarnation Realm, so she did not know the significance of this Taiji light column.

For Martial Artists, the Reincarnation Realm represented a threshold.

Within the territory of Daxia, there were no more than a hundred masters who could break through to the Reincarnation Realm.

After the appearance of the Reincarnation Light Column, a tremendous force gradually formed within the pillar.

Lan Cai’er and everyone else at the governor’s mansion knew that this was a crucial moment for their father’s breakthrough, and they were so nervous they dared not breathe too loudly.

This Reincarnation Light Column was impressive and not only illuminated Li City but was also perceived even thousands of miles away in the Daxia Capital.

On the black Xuanwu Stone-paved street, inside a mansion of a grand residence deep in a secluded courtyard of a wing room.

In the empty room, an old man with white hair sat cross-legged; his head full of white hair looked like a proud, solitary, snow-covered peak standing in the world.

He possessed eyes full of wisdom, a feature obtainable only through experiencing countless vicissitudes of life.

Yet, unlike his insightful eyes, his face was free of any wrinkles, smooth as a jade dish, handsome and imposing,

The chamber was not lit.

At this moment, the sound of two pairs of footsteps could be heard from the courtyard.

Two men flew through the air and arrived, one clad in a snow robe with golden threads, his elegance and every move exuding an oppressive nobility.

The second man appeared slightly younger, more handsome, with bright eyes and a face like fine jade. Despite being in his forties, he looked well-maintained, no older than twenty-eight or twenty-nine.

As soon as the two landed, they kneeled down in unison towards the chamber.

"Father."

This deep and quiet courtyard was part of the Hong Residence, one of the four great noble families of Daxia.

In the chamber sat the infamous Noble Marquis of Daxia, Hong Qingyun.

The other two men, both resembled the white-haired Martial Artist, were none other than Hong Qingyun’s Eldest Son, Heir Hong, and the bastard son, Hong Fang.

"That direction is Li City," Hong Qingyun’s voice echoed throughout the courtyard.

Without stepping out of the chamber, he was already aware of everything happening outside.

"Could it be... Lan Yingwu?" Heir Hong frowned.

"I fear it’s him. But why could Lan Yingwu make a breakthrough?" pondered the third son, Hong Fang.

As representatives of Noble Marquis, Hong Residence possessed absolute authority in Daxia, but thirty years ago, the rise of commoner strength led by the Marquis posed a threat to the Four Great Noble Marquis, including Hong Residence.

To serve as a warning to others, Hong Residence had been secretly suppressing the Marquis and civilian officials like Lan Yingwu.

This time, with Governor Lan injured and unlikely to achieve a breakthrough, Heir Hong seized the opportunity to submit a memorial, unifying the Four Great Noble Marquis to strip Lan Yingwu of his military power and demote him to the remote Li City.

Believing that Lan Yingwu would never have the chance to turn his fate around, Heir Hong had already recommended his own confidant to take over Lan Yingwu’s position as General.

Little did they know that before the new General could settle in, Lan Yingwu had made a breakthrough in Li City.

The Reincarnation Light Column emerging from Governor Lan’s breakthrough was quite a spectacle, and surely it also caught the attention of the Marquis’s people.

If nothing unexpected happened, Lan Yingwu would soon be recalled to the Imperial City, which would definitely affect the interests of Hong Residence.

"Send a gift to Li City to congratulate Governor Lan on his achievement," Hong Qingyun said just one sentence, and the chamber returned to its calm state.

The Heir Hong outside the room paused slightly, not understanding his father’s intention.

Hasn’t father always been at odds with the Marquis, forcefully suppressing Governor Lan and the others? This time...

"Big brother, father means for you to send someone to Li City to investigate the reason behind Governor Lan’s breakthrough," Hong Fang said in a hushed tone, his eyes flickered with understanding of Hong Qingyun’s intent.

Heir Hong coughed, his face not looking too pleased, and without thanking him, glared at Hong Fang and left with a flick of his sleeves.

Hong Fang, however, let out a cold laugh and also disappeared into the courtyard.

Inside the chamber, Hong Qingyun sighed deeply.

Between his two sons, when it came to cunning and scheming, the third son Hong Fangfar surpassed the Eldest Son, Heir Hong.

Who will inherit the great enterprise of Hong Residence in the future remains to be seen with further observation.
