Chapter 1075: Vicious Stepmother, Boldly Strikes

When the aura of the Extreme Yang Body appeared, it immediately drew the attention of Xinran Zhanglao and Qinglong Daoren; that scorching aura might go unnoticed by those of average cultivation, who cannot sense it.

But in their eyes, Huang Yang at this moment was like a sun, scorching and burning.

His body of scorching fire elements stood out uniquely throughout the Mangshan Mountain Range.

Huang Yang's cultivation is not strong; had it been a bit stronger, the surrounding flora would likely have been burned and withered.

"The Extreme Yang Body, combined with the Flame Yang Bone, when fused, raises his innate talent to a higher level. In fact, the Extreme Yang Body is already powerful; if well developed, it surpasses the Flame Yang Bone in strength."

"Taking shortcuts will instead prevent his Extreme Yang Body from exerting its full power; this young man may have to spend more time in the future to block the influence of the Flame Yang Bone."

In the short term, the fusion with the Flame Yang Bone indeed brings him many benefits; it can activate the Extreme Yang Body, causing his innate talent to surge to a terrifying level. In reality, this leads to underdevelopment of the Extreme Yang Body, preventing a complete Extreme Yang Body, as he relies on the Flame Yang Bone and neglects training the Extreme Yang Body.

This creates a problem: the Extreme Yang Body is neglected. In the future, after the Flame Yang Bone's potential is exhausted, this young man will realize the Flame Yang Bone is not very strong, because it was not originally his bone and does not belong to him.

Later, the repulsion will increase; the higher the cultivation, the more likely problems arise.

After all, what is not one's own ultimately does not belong to them.

When the Extreme Yang Body is forged to later stages, no bone in the body is weaker than the Flame Yang Bone; there is no need to covet a tiny Flame Yang Bone.

Qinglong Daoren saw the problem at a glance; it is the height determined by his realm, which members of the Huang Family may not perceive.

Huang Yang is the same; this time he came, likely having sensed the news that Huang Yan is still alive, and came to cut the weed at its root.

The Flame Yang Bone itself belongs to Huang Yan and is connected.

As long as Huang Yan lives, Huang Yang and his allies cannot be at ease, especially the stepmother; this time, she even let Huang Yang come, indicating that something has happened within the Huang Family that prevented Luo Feifei from arriving.

"You are right, but this young man risked venturing into the Mangshan Mountain Range just to kill that young man?"

Xinran Zhanglao was somewhat puzzled; some people will spare no cost to kill a threatening individual.

The Mangshan Mountain Range is so dangerous, yet they still allow Huang Yang to enter it.

Perhaps it is a matter of having no other options.

"Do you intend to tell that young man about this?" Xinran Zhanglao asked.

Qinglong Daoren nodded: "Of course he must be told; it is his matter, and how he handles it is for him to decide."

Xinran Zhanglao worried: "Huang Yan's cultivation hasn't recovered, and his strength is insufficient; he is not a match for the other young man outside. If they meet, Huang Yan may be killed. Would you allow your senior disciple to be killed?"

Qinglong Daoren shook his head: "Naturally we won't let them meet. The other young man outside may not dare to enter the Formation; if he does, let him stay inside the Formation for a while and be thoroughly tormented."

Xinran Zhanglao understood; the Formation outside is a fine Formation, suitable for tormenting people.

Huang Yang's mind is malicious, wanting to hunt Huang Yan; thus, let him endure the torment fully.

Afterwards, let Huang Yan strike, defeat him, and reclaim his Flame Yang Bone; this plot is very familiar, yet it remains intriguing.

Huang Yang stood outside, looking at the mist before him; the Formation enveloped the scene, and the Flame Yang Bone in his chest emitted a scorching aura, telling him that Huang Yan was hiding inside, and to kill him he must enter the Formation.

But the Formation before him was rather dangerous; he could neither see through nor penetrate it.

Recklessly entering it would lead to a terrible outcome.

"Huang Yan is inside; if he does not die, his mother cannot be at ease."

"If father and grandfather learn that the elder brother is still alive, the mother's deeds will be exposed, and both mother and I will be punished. Only if the elder brother dies will everything be settled, allowing mother and I to be at peace and avoid punishment."

"Within the Huang Family, only I can exist, the elder brother—sorry."

Huang Yang must do this; on one side is his mother and himself, on the other is familial affection.

The elder brother is merely a half‑sibling; he would not abandon his mother and his own future for him.

He has obtained the Flame Yang Bone; it is his and cannot be returned.

"Elder brother, today you must die—not because the younger brother insists, but because your existence affects the younger brother."

"Please forgive the younger brother's cruelty; I, the younger brother, am also forced into this."

Huang Yang gritted his teeth and entered the Formation.

At once, Qinglong Daoren sensed it; he appeared beside Huang Yan, who halted his cultivation. He seemed to sense it as well, staring at the Formation, searching for Huang Yang's figure.

"Master," Huang Yan said respectfully.

"You sensed it too, didn't you?" Qinglong Daoren asked lightly.

Huang Yan nodded: "Master, is that my brother who came? Is he here to kill me?"

Qinglong Daoren smiled: "Correct, your brother has merged with your Flame Yang Bone; now the Flame Yang Bone and he are one. He likely used the Flame Yang Bone to sense your presence, so he specifically came to kill you."

"Your existence has affected his future and their status, prompting him to hurry to kill you."

"Perhaps your father and grandfather have returned, which is why they are so eager to kill you."

Huang Yan instantly understood; his grandfather cherished him, seeing only himself in his eyes.

As for this brother, the grandfather does not cherish him; even if he is outstanding, he is born of a concubine and not the legitimate grandson.

A bastard remains a bastard; even if the father loves him, it cannot sway the grandfather's decision.

In the Huang Family, the grandfather's authority is paramount; even the father cannot defy it.

"My grandfather loves me dearly; I have grown up with him. Now that he has returned, they are eager to kill me. Perhaps he does not yet know what they have done; if he learns, he will surely kill that vile woman, even if the father pleads, that vile woman cannot live."

In Huang Yan's eyes were only warmth; within the Huang Family, only the grandfather treated him well.

He gave him a childhood of affection; only then could he obtain resources in this household and grow rapidly.

And that stepmother, knowing this, chose to act.

"This is a matter for your Huang Family; resolve it yourselves," Qinglong Daoren said. "I can only ensure you are not bullied, that's all. Huang Yang, this young man is now in your hands; he is currently inside the Formation. Let the Formation torment him for a while."

"Disciple understands," Huang Yan clasped his hands; he would not foolishly go to his death—now he is no match for Huang Yang.
