1017: C1017 conjecture

C1017 conjecture

Inside the cave, inside the exercise room!

"Young Master, actually, this old servant is not a rogue cultivator, but is from the Shin Clan of the central region."

Yu Haoran immediately went straight to the point and revealed his frank attitude, letting Shen Haokong know that he had probably already guessed that he was not a rogue cultivator from a long time ago.

Fortunately, he had already decided to confess everything to Yu Haoran so he didn't hesitate in the slightest to begin with.

"The Shen family is one of the oldest inherited families of the Profound Sky Continent. We have inherited the blood of the Heavenly Leopard from the ancient times!"

As Shen Haokong narrated his plan in detail, the gaze Yu Haoran looked at him with revealed a hint of admiration and pity, and the wariness and wariness he had towards him gradually disappeared as well.

Shen Haokong was the third son of the previous patriarch of the Shen Clan, and at the same time, he was also one of the most outstanding demon-level disciples with talent and potential, perseverance and comprehension.

However, as inheritances of the bloodlines of the God Beasts of ancient times, although their potential for cultivation was very important, what they cared about the most was the purity of their bloodlines.

But for some reason, even though Shen Haokong's potential was the strongest amongst the clan's young generation, the purity of his bloodline was not even comparable to that of an ordinary clan member.

Although his potential was outstanding and his talent had reached the level of a top evildoer, not to mention that he was the clan leader's own son, he didn't receive much attention in the clan.

If it was only this, the indifferent Shen Haokong would not have minded, but with his outstanding cultivation potential, he displayed a purity far surpassing that of the bloodline of his clan's ancestors, causing him to suffer a lot of jealousy and oppression.

If it was only the suppression of an ordinary disciple, then he would be able to accept it all with his patient personality. But among these people that were suppressing him, he would still be the heir to the family and his half-brother.

Since he didn't want his father to be troubled and didn't want to experience a tragedy that was unpredictable, Shen Haokong chose to leave the family and cultivate alone as a rogue cultivator.

"Elder Shen, have you thought of returning to the Shen Clan?" Yu Haoran probed.

Although Shen Haokong had only casually explained why he left the clan, Yu Haoran was still able to tell from his tone and the tender feelings that flashed past his eyes every now and then when he narrated the clan.

If he still had the thought of returning to the Shen family, then he would at most be able to explain the doubts he had accumulated during this period of time and then keep the method to awaken his Demon Subduing Body.

After all, he didn't dare guarantee that he wouldn't clash with the Shen clan in the future, and he didn't want to cultivate a terrifying opponent.

"Young Master, I'll definitely return to the Shen Clan in the future. However, I'm not lingering on the clan's authority, and I'm not doing it for the sake of the so called fatherly love, brotherly righteousness."

As if he hadn't heard Yu Haoran's probing just now, Shen Haokong's eyes revealed a trace of gentleness as he explained.

"It's for the twin sister that was born at the same time as me!"

"Elder Shen, has your sister never contacted you all these years?" Yu Haoran asked somewhat suspiciously.

The fact that she was able to live in the Shen family meant that the purity of the ancestral bloodline in her sister's body was not bad.

Then, in the dozens of years that Shen Haokong had encountered the internal demon's backlash, could it be that his sister had never contacted him before? Yu Haoran fundamentally did not believe this.

After all, as a family that inherited the bloodline of the ancient Divine Beast, the Heavenly Leopard, they must have some sort of special method of communication, unless Shen Haoran took the initiative to sever all connections.

Facing Yu Haoran's question, Shen Haokong suddenly went silent.

After remaining silent for nearly ten minutes, he raised his head to look at Yu Haoran and ask.

"Young master, do you still remember that in the Tianxingtian Chamber of Commerce's Fragrant Pavilion, I have to ask you how you are able to dispel the Ghost Soul Poison?"

"Of course!" Yu Haoran nodded.

"The reason I chose to leave the Shen clan was because of my brother's jealousy and oppression. The real reason that forced me to leave was because my sister was poisoned by the ghost's soul. I was planning on going out to find a way to cure her poison."

When he mentioned that his sister's body had been poisoned by the ghost, a dense amount of hatred appeared in Shen Haokong's eyes.

"Elder Shen, are you sure she's still alive?" Yu Haoran asked in disbelief.2

According to Shen Haokong's explanation, he had only left the Shen Clan after his sister had been poisoned by the ghost's soul. That would take more than fifty years.

As an expert of the poison dao in his previous life, Yu Haoran knew that it was impossible for anyone to survive for such a long period of time under the Ghost Soul Devouring Poison's erosion.

"I'm sure!"

Nodding heavily, Shen Haokong took out a jade pendant from his storage ring. A jade pendant that emitted a sliver of life force.

"Young master, when a direct descendant of our family is born, the elders of the family will take a thread of their life force and infuse it into the jade pendant. Then, we can use this jade pendant to know the life or death of our clansmen."

He indicated for Shen Haokong to bring over the jade pendant, and carefully felt it.

After returning the jade pendant to Shen Hao, he closed his eyes and began to speculate about the strange thing that was happening.

This was because he was certain that there was no one who would be able to last so long under the effects of the Ghost Soul Devouring Poison.

Even with his strong maternal love, it would be difficult for Yun Xiang, who barely survived, to live past the age of twenty if he did not use the acute poison of the ghost's soul devourer to change his cultivation into a poison.

According to his own understanding of the poison path and then combining it with the characteristics of the Ghost's Soul Devouring ability, an idea gradually surfaced in his mind. However, whether this idea could be verified in the end still needed to be confirmed through some details.

"Elder Shen, how pure is your sister's ancestral bloodline?"

"In the coming of age ceremony, when I accepted the bloodline test of my family, the purity of my sister's ancestral bloodline was nearly 40%. It can be said that she's the person with the highest purity bloodline in the entire past million years of the Shen family's ancestral bloodline."

When he mentioned his sister's excellence, the hatred in Shen Haokong's eyes was instantly replaced by pride.

"Elder Shen, I remember what you said just now. Your choice to inherit the Shen Clan is based on the purity of your ancestor's bloodline. I wonder if your sister has the qualifications to become the Patriarch?" Shen Haokong's answer just now confirmed a step further. At the same time, Yu Haoran continued to ask.

"There's a certain probability of success, but the chances aren't high."

Shaking his head, Shen Haokong revealed a trace of dissatisfaction in his tone.

"Even though the family has always respected bloodlines, they still valued males and females."

"So, the purity of my sister's ancestral bloodline is obviously the highest, but when it came to inheriting the clan, my sister chose the elder brother whose purity is only second to her."

"However, if my sister is able to break through the Martial Saint Realm first, or if she takes the initiative to raise the purity of her ancestor's bloodline to seventy percent, then she will have the chance to become the next Patriarch."
