As the eldest son of the Yu family, Yu Liang naturally knew a great deal about these matters.

If Han Xiangting hasn't made a breakthrough yet, then Han Jianghe's visit to discuss marriage this time is a bit too hasty.

Upon hearing this, Han Jianghe's smile deepened, his brows revealing undisguised arrogance:

"That's true. Xiang Ting is quite talented; he recently broke through to the Nascent Soul stage."

In about another month, the cultivation level will be completely stabilized.

"At that time, my Han family will formally come to propose marriage and finalize this engagement."

When he mentioned "Xiang Ting," his tone was full of pride, as if this nephew was the greatest honor his Han family had ever received in a century.

In fact it is.

Those who can be called the chosen ones naturally possess exceptional talent and good fortune.

It is obvious that Han Xiangting is a junior member that the Han family is focusing on cultivating.

Yu Liang was quite surprised and remained silent for a while before saying:

"As expected of the Han family's chosen one."

To break through to the Nascent Soul stage after only a dozen years of cultivation—I am indeed inferior to him in terms of talent.

That was a genuine statement.

He considered himself to have good talent, but it took him a hundred years to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Han Xiangting's breakthrough at the age of twenty is indeed quite remarkable.

However, despite his admiration, Yu Liang quickly regained his composure and said calmly:

"As for the marriage, you'll have to go to my father."

If he agrees, the Yu family will naturally not go back on its word.

Han Jianghe laughed heartily:

"That's natural."

My purpose in coming here was to propose marriage to Uncle Yu in person.

I arrived here before I even had a chance to go there.

Once this matter is settled, I will personally pay you a visit.

He spoke flawlessly, but Yu Liang grew increasingly wary.

Han Jianghe's words implied that he had already considered the marriage a done deal.

This made him, as the older brother, feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Just then, Han Jianghe suddenly changed the subject:

"But before that, there's one more thing we need to take care of."

Yu Liang asked in confusion, "What is it?"

Han Jianghe said calmly, "Deal with one person."

His tone was nonchalant, as if he were talking about a trivial matter.

Yu Liang was even more surprised and asked, "Who is it that requires you to make a special trip?"

"With your status, Han Jianghe, wouldn't it be easy to solve this by simply sending a few of your men?"

Han Jianghe shook his head: "Of course I will send someone."

However, I still don't know this person's exact name.

But the other party was wearing the clothes of a minor sect.

Yu Liang frowned: "What sect?"

"Cangxuan Sect".

"The Cangxuan Sect?"

Yu Liang pondered for a moment before suddenly realizing what was happening.

"I know the Cangxuan Sect. It's a small power under the jurisdiction of my Yu family."

"What, did they offend your Han family?"

Han Jianghe said, "No, that's not true."

However, I overheard an elder of the Yu family mention that my uncle saw a man in the mirror image technique he used with my younger sister, Yu Lan.

It is said that this person has an unusual relationship with his younger sister, Yu Lan.

As you know, Xiang Ting's marriage to your younger sister is imminent.

There's no need to keep this kind of person around so that the marriage between the Han and Yu families can proceed smoothly.

"You don't even know who he is, and you're going to kill him?"

Han Jianghe smiled indifferently:

"It's okay if you don't know."

"Just wipe out the Cangxuan Sect. It's just a small sect at the Golden Core stage; destroying it is fine. Why bother investigating them one by one?"

He spoke of it casually.

But everyone understood the ruthlessness in his words.

In his eyes, the hundreds of lives of the Cangxuan Sect were no different from ants on the ground.

Yu Liang frowned deeply, a clear displeasure flashing in his eyes.

Although he was a decisive and ruthless person, he never killed innocent people indiscriminately.

The Yu family has been operating in Nanhua County for many years, relying on a clear system of rewards and punishments, and a combination of kindness and severity.

He simply could not condone Han Jianghe's practice of wiping out entire families at the drop of a hat.

"Han Jianghe, you are a Nascent Soul stage expert, yet you have such a strong desire to kill. You are not afraid of being laughed at by people if you talk about dealing with a small sect in the Golden Core stage."

My Yu family has been established in Nanhua County for many years and has never bullied others by abusing our power.

If your Han family does such a thing, it won't just be your family's reputation that's lost.

He paused, then continued:

"What can a small Golden Core sect change regarding the marriage between the Han and Yu families?"

I know my sister Yu Lan's personality. Let alone a disciple of the Cangxuan Sect, even if it were a god descending to earth, she wouldn't give it a second glance if she didn't like it.

If she truly favors someone, then wiping out their entire family will only make her more resentful.

"I think we should just let this matter go; there's no need to kill innocent people indiscriminately."

If my sister Yu Lan found out, she would absolutely not agree.

Yu Liang's words were well-intentioned and earnest.

He knew his younger sister too well; although Yu Lan appeared gentle, she was incredibly stubborn at heart.

If she finds out that the Han family killed innocent people indiscriminately for the sake of marriage, she'd be lucky if she didn't turn against the family on the spot, let alone marry into it.

But Han Jianghe clearly didn't think so.

The smile on his face faded slightly, but it still lingered at the corners of his mouth:

"Brother Yu, you are mistaken."

The marriage between the Han and Yu families must not have the slightest flaw.

The Cangxuan Sect must be destroyed.

After all, Yu Lan is going to be the daughter-in-law of the Han family.

How can you allow her to have an affair with another man?

If word gets out, where will the Han family's reputation be?

His words already carried a hint of harshness.

Destroying a small sect is like killing a swarm of ants; Han Jianghe doesn't care at all.

Yu Liang's expression turned completely cold.

The atmosphere fell silent.

Yu Liang stared at Han Jianghe and said, word by word:

"The Han family is so murderous; even if my father knew, he wouldn't agree."

If you don't believe me, you can go and ask him yourself.

This statement is already using the head of the Yu family to intimidate people.

Han Jianghe remained silent for a while, then the smile on his face finally returned.

He knew that there was no point in arguing with Yu Liang here, and that the Cangxuan Sect absolutely could not be allowed to remain.

So they changed the subject:

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore."

Han Jianghe waved his hand, as if the unpleasantness from earlier had never happened.

"The most important thing right now is to break the barrier outside this cave."

Brother Yu, how about we work together?

Yu Liang glanced at him, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay."

He now needs manpower to break the formation, and the more mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators he has, the better his chances of success will be.

As for Han Jianghe's little schemes, we'll deal with them after we break the formation.

Han Jianghe felt somewhat relieved when he saw that Yu Liang had agreed.

His gaze then fell on Lin Feng, who was standing to the side.

He sized up the young man in black robes, noticing that the man bore no sect insignia.

His cultivation aura wasn't very obvious, so I felt a bit contemptuous of him.

"Brother Yu, does a rogue cultivator like you deserve to stand here?"

"Does he also want a share of the pie?" Han Jianghe's tone was full of disdain, as if he were looking at a beggar who had mistakenly entered a grand banquet.

Yu Liang glanced at him and said calmly:

"This is Fellow Daoist Ji Canghai."

Their strength is no less than mine.

If he's not qualified, then the people you brought are even less qualified.
