line: "Not far from the void, Tianling City Lord Yan Shuang's gaze grew sharper, and vast immortal qi continuously overflowed." No Chinese.

line: "Named: Void maybe not; Tianling City Lord title; Yan Shuang person; immortal qi maybe not; but we could include immortal qi? It's a term but not a named entity. Probably not." No Chinese.

line: "If these two don't know what's good for them, then don't blame this city lord!" No Chinese.

line: "Named: this city lord refers to Tianling City Lord? Not a new entity." No Chinese.

line: "But where did this Qing Yun come from? It's not a sect of our Immortal Nation; could it be a great sect from another continent?" No Chinese.

line: "Named: Qing Yun sect; our Immortal Nation maybe a place; other continent maybe not; great sect generic." No Chinese.

line: "Yan Shuang muttered, puzzled, 'Never mind, as long as they don't fight in Tianling City, they can go wherever they like.'" No Chinese.

line: "Named: Yan Shuang person; Tianling City place." No Chinese.

line: "Named

Father, this has nothing to do with that immortal maiden senior; I will handle my own affairs and bear the responsibility.

Named: female immortal senior generic.

This stalemate was quickly broken by a loud voice.

No.

Hmm?

No.

Tianling City Lord Yan Shuang's eyes flickered, and a powerful immortal dao rule instantly sealed off this heaven and earth, enveloping it.

Named: Tianling City Lord Yan Shuang; immortal dao rules generic.

This is the internal affair of the Yun Family, an immortal-level power; how could we let outsiders see it as a joke? Who knows what crazy things the Yun Family might do.

Named: immortal-level force Yun Family; immortal rank maybe not; Yun Family we have.

Huh? I can't see anything!

No.

That space has been sealed by the Tianling City Lord.

Named: Tianling City Lord title.

The experts of the various major powers in Tianling City withdrew their gazes.

Named: Tianling City place; various forces generic.

As for the cultivators in the lower city, they had already withdrawn their gazes the moment they saw the first scene.

Named: lower city maybe not; cultivator generic.

Even the bustling city grew calm.

No.

You're kidding; how could they possibly dare to spy on such a supreme immortal?

Named: supreme immortal generic.

Leaving that aside, if an immortal war breaks out, they'll be the first to suffer.

Named: immortal war generic.

Father, I, Yun Lan, am at least a proper eight-foot man; I dare to do this and bear the consequences!

Named: father generic; Yun Lan person; eight-foot man generic.

I saw that, within the Yun Family beneath the void, Yun Lan held a three-foot green blade against his own neck, eyebrows furrowed in a cold stare.

Named: beneath the void maybe not; inside Yun Family we have Yun Family; three-foot green blade maybe a weapon but not a proper name.

Just as he was about to act, two immortal arts simultaneously stopped him.

Named: immortal arts generic.

Lan'er! What are you doing! When did Father ever plan to take your life!

Named: Lan'er nickname for Yun Lan person; father generic.

The Yun Family Sect Master glared in anger and asked, bewildered.

Named: Yun Family Sect Master title.

How did things come to this? If Lan'er also dies, how will he explain it to her!

Named: Lan'er.

At the same time, the Red Dust Immortal on the other side withdrew his immortal arts and said indifferently, 'My Qing Yun disciple, I will not let him die, not even if the Upper Heavens themselves came.'

Named: Red Dust Immortal title; Qing Yun sect; Upper Heavens place.

You're kidding; if even her own disciples can't be protected, what's the use of her being an elder?

Named: Elder title.

Isn't she failing to live up to the sect master's trust?

Named: Sect Master title.

Enough, have you had enough of the noise?

No.

You've disturbed my peace.

No.

A mighty solemn voice echoed from within the Yun Family's rear forbidden grounds.

Named: Yun Family Rear Forbidden Ground place.

Soon after, an old man with white hair but a ruddy complexion walked slowly forward.

No.

The old man's figure was ethereal, as if he had merged with heaven and earth; every gesture radiated supreme immortal heavenly might.

Named: immortal heavenly might generic.

Upon seeing the arrival, the Red Dust Immortal and Tianling City Lord Yan Shuang's pupils contracted—above the Earth Immortal Realm!

Named: Red Dust Immortal; Tianling City Lord Yan Shuang; Earth Immortal Realm cultivation realm.

Yun Family Elder Ancestor, a supreme being of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, Yun Dao!

Named: Yun Family Elder Ancestor; Supreme Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivation realm; Yun Dao person.

City Lord Yan Shuang exclaimed in astonishment, 'I never expected to shake even this person out!'

Named: City Lord Yan Shuang.

Elder Ancestor.

No.

Yun Family Sect Master Yun Wei, upon seeing him, hurriedly spoke and flew down, saying, 'With the Elder Ancestor present, today's affair is settled!'

Named: Yun Family Sect Master Yun Wei person; Elder Ancestor generic.

The sword is meant to kill others, not oneself.

No.

The Yun Family Elder Ancestor slowly walked up to Yun Lan and said lightly.

Named: Yun Family Elder Ancestor; Yun Lan person.

Yun Lan's sword slipped from his hand and fell to the ground.

Named: Yun Lan.

'Elder Ancestor,' Yun Lan said respectfully upon seeing the arrival.

Named: Elder Ancestor generic; Yun Lan person.

The old man said nothing more, looked up, and said, 'City Lord Yan, long time no see.'

Named: City Lord Yan.

The old man's kind face broke into a smile, then he looked toward another woman and said, 'This must be the elder from Yun Lan's sect.'

Named: elder from Yun Lan's sect; sect generic.

Even a single elder possessing such cultivation as yours shows that your Qing Yun sect is truly not simple.

Named: Elder; Qing Yun sect; cultivation level generic.

Upon hearing this, the City Lord of the Void Yan Shuang immediately turned and flew down, humbly smiling, 'Senior Yun, long time no see; your cultivation has only grown deeper.'

Named: City Lord of the Void Yan Shuang; Senior Yun generic.

Before this person, he dare not act arrogantly; recalling when he had not yet become city lord, he had even received guidance from the Yun Family Elder Ancestor.

Named: city lord generic; Yun Family Elder Ancestor.

This favor, however, is too great.

No.

I have already understood this matter; the fault does not lie with Yun Lan, nor with his sect Qing Yun.

Named: Yun Lan; sect Qing Yun.

If there's blame to assign, it can only be for your previous overindulgence of Yun Huang.

Named: Yun Huang person.

As a result, he developed a spoiled, decadent nature, utterly ruining the reputation of my Immortal Lan Yun Family—hmph!

Named: Immortal Lan Yun Family maybe not; Immortal Lan Yun Family maybe a phrase: Immortal Lan Yun Family could be Immortal Lan Yun Family. Might be a named entity: the Yun Family with the prefix Immortal Lan. But it's likely a descriptive phrase: my Immortal Lan Yun Family. Not a proper name. We'll ignore.

The old man gave a cold snort and said to the head of the Yun Family before him.

Named: Yun Family Head title.

The Yun Family Sect Master dared not retort; the pain of losing his son was too intense, and now thinking back, his previous actions were somewhat improper.

Named: Yun Family Sect Master.

Huang'er, in order to secure the position of young master, actually harbored murderous intent toward Lan'er.

Named: Huang'er nickname for Yun Huang person; Young Master title; Lan'er nickname for Yun Lan person.

After all, it's only his fault for not taking these seriously; he believed that those lowly cultivation small families always have open and covert struggles, let alone his vast Yun Family.

Named: small clans generic; Yun Family.

Competition is also a good thing; many people make rapid progress through competition.

No.

Who would have thought…

No.

But this is also not a reason for the Qing Yun Sect to intervene; Yun Family matters have their own family rules for judgment.

Named: Qing Yun Sect; Yun Family matters generic.

How could outsiders be allowed to interfere?

No.

Lan'er possesses many life-saving items given by him; with those people Huang'er has, they simply cannot harm him.

Named: Lan'er; life-saving items generic; Huang'er.

The matter is indeed exactly as such.

No.

At that time, seeing Yun Huang not only insult him but also insult his own sect, Yun Lan planned to bring out his life-saving treasure.

The sect's seniors had already made a move before him.

This is also no solution; if someone outside one's own sect insults the sect and its disciples, should we not suppress and kill them but leave them for the New Year?

Seeing his attitude, the Yun Family elder ancestor knew he was dissatisfied, but what could be done?

A casually dispatched elder of the Qing Yun sect has cultivation comparable to the head of your Yun Family; this mysterious Qing Yun must possess many stronger beings.

The troubled Yun Family could be overthrown at any moment.

The Red Dust Immortal in the Void also nodded; the Yun Family elder ancestor is quite sensible.

However, such people are often the most frightening.

"Yun Lan, go on; follow the sect's seniors back."

The old man sighed and said to Yun Lan beside him.

"Elder ancestor, father……"

Yun Lan paused, then hesitantly looked toward the elder ancestor and father.

"Wait, since things have come to this, it's time to tell you the truth."

Upon hearing this, the great Yun Family Immortal Lord's heart jolted.

His eyes filled with reluctance and memories; after a moment's hesitation he said, "The elder ancestor is right—I can no longer hide the truth from you; you have the right to know it."

Yun Lan, however, was completely bewildered—what truth? What truth?

What are father and the elder ancestor saying?

The Yun Family Immortal Lord, feeling forlorn and reluctant, said: "Lan'er, actually you are not my son, nor the Yun Family's second young master."

This news struck like a bolt from the blue, leaving Yun Lan's head spinning.

This……

"Your mother comes from a major power in the outer realms; as for your biological father, I… do not know."

"Back then, your mother brought you, still in swaddling, to a place in the Qing Gu Tian Yu, where you were injured by bandits; I rescued you."

"Later, she left in haste for some unknown reason, and before departing she entrusted you to me, which is why…"

The Yun Family Immortal Lord muttered to himself, his eyes continually flashing with memories.

Upon hearing this, Yun Lan was momentarily lost and at a loss.

That child being spoken of must be him.

Then who is my father? Who is my mother?

"Go on, Lan'er."

"The Yun Family will always be your home."

"I also don't know your mother's origins; before she left, she only left this token."

Having said that, the Yun Family Immortal Lord's hand produced a pure white token, its immortal light shimmering, engraved with the character "Mu".

After saying that, his heart, which had not stirred in tens of millions of years, began to faintly ache.

Huang'er has died, and Lan'er is about to depart……

It is said that immortals have no seven emotions and six desires, but can one without them still be called a person?

Yun Lan took the token and was momentarily dazed.

"Father, you will always be Lan'er's father."

Yun Lan knelt heavily on the ground, gazing at his father's forlorn figure, and said solemnly.

Since he could remember, his father had treated him well.

The elder ancestor and the Yun Family also treated him well.

Although there were villains targeting him, they were all sent by Yun Huang… the elder brother.

Now that his father has lost his son, if he too were to leave……

"Father, I have gone to the sect to cultivate; once my cultivation is accomplished and I ascend straight to the Qing Yun, I will be able to protect the Yun Family and protect you."

Yun Lan performed a heavy grand salute; without the Yun Family there would be no present him, without his father's nurturing he could not have reached this point.

"Lan'er… go on."

The Yun Family Immortal Lord finished speaking in a deep voice, then turned and left; he……

The Yun Family elder ancestor stroked his beard satisfactorily; he was very pleased with Yun Lan's disposition.

Perhaps this is now the best situation.

Afterwards, he gave a meaningful glance to the departing Yun Family head in the distance.

After this experience he should be able to advance further; after all, breaking through to the Heavenly Immortal requires……
