Chapter 1214: Chapter 1212: Heading to the Secret Place (Extra Update)

Although Duanmu Qingyun is the son of the Duanmu Clan Leader and the true Young Master of the Duanmu Clan, because he has been unable to breakthrough to the Celestial Beings Realm, many people of the Duanmu Clan look down on him.

On the other hand, Duanmu Fei had broken through to the Celestial Beings Realm quite early and was recognized by the Duanmu Clan as the strongest among the younger generation, the pride of the Duanmu Clan.

Even many people believe that the future Clan Leader should be Duanmu Fei, compared to Duanmu Qingyun, they respect and admire Duanmu Fei more; hence, these guards were now heeding Duanmu Fei’s words.

"Stop!"

Just as these guards were about to take action, a commanding shout rang out, as they saw Duanmu Yang, the Clan Leader of the Duanmu Clan, and Miss Duanmu Yunlei of the Duanmu Clan walking over.

"Father!"

Duanmu Qingyun, seeing Duanmu Yang, quickly bowed and called out.

"Clan Leader!"

Duanmu Fei also retracted his aura and bowed his head towards Duanmu Yang, calling out with a tinge of respect, while the remaining Duanmu Clan guards respectfully greeted Duanmu Yang.

"Clan Leader Duanmu!"

Xiao Yifeng spoke up upon seeing Duanmu Yang.

"Mr. Xiao, how come you are here, and what is all this about?"

Duanmu Yang said in a grave voice as he looked at the scene.

"Clan Leader, these two people trespassed into the Duanmu Clan without permission; I questioned them, and he attacked me, injuring me. I plea to the Clan Leader for justice."

Duanmu Fei directly spoke to Duanmu Yang.

"Father, don’t listen to Duanmu Fei’s nonsense. Brother Xiao came to our Duanmu Clan in search of Ningxin Grass, and it was Duanmu Fei who deliberately stirred up trouble, so Brother Xiao had to retaliate."

Duanmu Qingyun quickly spoke up.

"You..."

Duanmu Fei’s expression darkened, just about to speak.

"Enough, stop talking. Fei, this might all be a misunderstanding. You head back first."

Duanmu Yang said looking at Duanmu Fei.

"Clan Leader, this..."

"What, are you not listening to me now?"

Duanmu Yang glanced at Duanmu Fei with a solemn expression.

"Clan Leader, I dare not!"

Duanmu Fei’s expression changed, he quickly bowed his head, casting a cold glance at Xiao Yifeng before turning and leaving the place.

"I’m sorry to have embarrassed you, Mr. Xiao."

Duanmu Yang said to Xiao Yifeng.

"No problem!"

Xiao Yifeng shook his head.

"This Miss Yan’s heart channels have been shattered by a powerful palm force, hanging by a thread; only Ningxin Grass can reconsolidate her heart channels, giving her a chance to survive."

Duanmu Yang spoke while looking at Yan Ruyu.

"Yes, I heard that the Duanmu Clan has this Ningxin Grass, so I came specifically to request one, I sincerely hope Clan Leader Duanmu can oblige."

Xiao Yifeng earnestly spoke to Duanmu Yang.

"This Ningxin Grass is extremely precious, although I am the Clan Leader of the Duanmu Clan, I cannot just give Ningxin Grass to an outsider."

"I need to consult with the Elders. You can stay in the Duanmu Clan for now; we have some life-sustaining Spiritual Medicines which Miss Yan can take to temporarily preserve her life," Duanmu Yang said indifferently.

"Thank you Clan Leader Duanmu!"

Xiao Yifeng immediately expressed his gratitude.

In a room of the Duanmu Clan, Xiao Yifeng gently placed Yan Ruyu on the bed, while Duanmu Yunlei stood by watching.

"Mr. Xiao, is this lady your wife?"

Duanmu Yunlei asked Xiao Yifeng involuntarily.

"Yes!"

Xiao Yifeng nodded.

"This sister is so fortunate to have such a good husband like you!"

Duanmu Yunlei said softly.

"What good husband am I? If it weren’t for me, Ru Yu wouldn’t have been injured so severely, nearly dying. She has already nearly died once for me, and now her life is hanging by a thread again because of me. I don’t consider myself a good husband; I can’t even protect my own woman,"

Xiao Yifeng looked at Yan Ruyu, speaking with a face full of guilt, clenching his fists tightly, with a hint of regret and resentment in his eyes.

"Mr. Xiao, you shouldn’t blame yourself. I believe this sister also won’t blame you. You’ve already done what you could, and I believe she will get better."

Duanmu Yunlei spoke up.

"Thank you!"

Xiao Yifeng nodded.

Meanwhile, in another room, Duanmu Fei’s expression was gloomy as water, his eyes flashing with a cold gleam.

"Damn him, daring to hit me, and twice at that! He made me look like a fool; I must make him pay with his life!"

Duanmu Fei clenched his fist, emitting a roaring sound.

"Xiao Fei, what has gotten into you?"

At that moment, an elderly voice sounded, and a figure in a white robe with greying hair slowly entered. It was Duanmu Fei’s grandfather, Duanmu Clan Great Elder, Duanmu Hai.

"Grandfather, it’s good that you’ve come!"

Duanmu Fei told his grandfather about what just happened.

"Hmph, this kid really has some nerve, and Duanmu Yang as well, daring to openly side with an outsider. Seems he no longer regards me as important,"

Duanmu Hai coldly huffed.

"Don’t worry, since that kid dared to hit you, he only has one path—death. And that Duanmu Qingyun, since he brought the person, he can go to death as well,"

Duanmu Hai said with a cold glint in his eyes.

"Grandfather, are you saying...?"

Upon hearing his grandfather’s words, Duanmu Fei’s expression changed, with a surprised look in his eyes.

"We’ve waited long enough; it’s time to take action,"

Duanmu Hai said, his eyes flashing with a cold, indifferent light.

"Great, this time I will make sure Duanmu Qingyun is finished, and Duanmu Yunlei, I will enjoy her thoroughly."

Duanmu Fei’s mouth curved into a sinister smile, his whole demeanor eerily excited.

The night fell, covering the Duanmu Clan in darkness.

Xiao Yifeng was sitting in his room cultivating when suddenly a knock on the door sounded.

Xiao Yifeng opened his eyes and walked over, opening the door where a Duanmu Clan guard stood.

"Sir, the Clan Leader asks that you come to the secret area."

The guard said to Xiao Yifeng.

"The secret area? Could it be for the Ningxin Grass!"

Hearing ’secret area,’ Xiao Yifeng immediately thought of the Ningxin Grass growing there, his emotions visibly excited.

"Then let’s hurry!"

Xiao Yifeng said to the guard, who then led Xiao Yifeng to the secret area.

This secret area was deep inside Duanmu Clan territory, a very secluded spot without any population, and there was a large door, surrounded by eight pillars.

"Duanmu Brother, what brings you here too?"

"I wanted to ask you the same thing,"

Xiao Yifeng arrived and saw Duanmu Qingyun was also there, his eyes flashing with surprise.

"It was the Clan Leader who said to meet me in the secret area,"

Xiao Yifeng said.

"The guard also told me my father summoned me here, so I came,"

Duanmu Qingyun said, suddenly frowning, his gaze sharply focusing on the two guards who had brought him and Xiao Yifeng here.
