729: Chapter 729: The Outer Clan’s Number One Genius (Fifth Update) 729: Chapter 729: The Outer Clan’s Number One Genius (Fifth Update) The Jiu Xuan Royal Clan is one of the giant powerhouses within the Emperor Domain.

Jiu Xuan Divine Mountain serves as the Jiu Xuan Royal Clan’s stronghold.

Legend has it that the Jiu Xuan Divine Mountain is an ancient divine mountain, moved here by the ancestors of the Jiu Xuan Royal Clan from a remote place and artificially transformed into a mountain range.

Prohibitions are laid on the perimeter of the Jiu Xuan Divine Mountain, making it unaccessible for everyone.

On the outskirts of the Jiu Xuan Divine Mountain, there is a large city built against the mountain, known as Jiu Xuan Divine City.

While the Jiu Xuan Divine City might not be comparable to the Supreme Golden City, it is several times larger than Hegemon City.

“Mother, I am here!”

Within the Jiu Xuan Divine City, Long Yan steps out from the teleportation array, feeling an inexplicable excitement in his heart.

He has finally arrived here.

He has long looked forward to this day, his mother resides here.

“I need to find a way to infiltrate the Jiu Xuan Royal Clan.”

From Qian Qiuxue, Long Yan has gained considerable information about the Jiu Xuan Royal Clan.

The Jiu Xuan Royal Clan is divided into an Inner Clan and an Outer Clan, the Inner Clan consists of individuals possessing the royal bloodline, members of the Huangfu Family, while the Outer Clan consists of ordinary martial artist, who do not possess the royal bloodline.

The Inner Clan and Outer Clan together form the entire Jiu Xuan Royal Clan.

The Inner Clan inhabits the Jiu Xuan Divine Mountain, while the Outer Clan lives in the Jiu Xuan Divine City.

Despite being connected, clear demarcations can still be observed.

Entering the Jiu Xuan Divine Mountain requires much effort, even for those with high status within the Outer Clan.

Subsequently, Long Yan blended into the crowd.

Though the Jiu Xuan Divine City was not as bustling as the Supreme Golden City, it was still very lively, with bustling crowds in the spacious streets.

A short while later, Long Yan entered a pub, chose a secluded corner, casually ordered a few dishes and a pot of wine, and started drinking alone.

At the same time, his mind was pondering various strategies, many of which he ended up dismissing.

To infiltrate the Inner Clan, there was only one way: acquiring the identity of someone from the Inner Clan, which necessitated finding someone from the Inner Clan first.

Fortunately, he had the Hundred Changes Physique, or else things would have been much more troublesome.

“Brother Li, I am truly envious of you for advancing to the Mid-stage of the Wind-Fire-Thunder Realm so rapidly.”

Not far from Long Yan, three young men were seated.

Among them one was tall and robust, the aura between his brows demonstrated his cultivation was clearly at the Mid-stage of the Wind-Fire-Thunder Realm.

The other two were at the Heart Devouring stage.

One of them, clad in a yellow robe, had just spoken.

The other was a youth in a green robe.

“Of course, look who Brother Li is, he is the top genius in the Outer Clan, Li Danqing.

He compares favorably even with some geniuses from the Inner Clan.”

The youth in the green robe had directly played up to him.

“You guys should also work hard on your cultivation.

You will soon break through to the Wind-Fire-Thunder Realm.”

Li Danqing just smiled.

Despite knowing that the two were just flattering him, he felt quite pleased.

“Don’t even think about it for the time being.

If I am adequately prepared, I might have some confidence in breaking through within a year.”

The youth in the yellow robe said, without adequate preparation, he would not stand a chance against the Wind-Fire-Thunder Tribulation.

“By the way, Brother Li, I heard that Huangfu Qingyu personally invited you to the Black Corpse Canyon to slay the Black Corpse King, is it true?”

The youth in the green robe suddenly asked.

“Huangfu Qingyu.”

Long Yan’s eyebrows raised, their conversation fell word for word in his ears and he heard it clearly.

He was naturally familiar with Huangfu Qingyu.

In the Demon Sky Remains, he had crossed paths with Huangfu Qingyu.

Huangfu Qingyu was known as the third genius of the Jiu Xuan Imperial Family, second only to Huangfu Wushuang and Huangfu Haoyue.

“If I could pose as Huangfu Qingyu, entering the Jiu Xuan Divine Mountain would not be a problem, and actions would be much more convenient.”

Huangfu Qingyu was undoubtedly a core disciple in the Jiu Xuan Imperial Family, assuredly having some standing.

If he could assume Huangfu Qingyu’s identity, that would be the best.

Then, he continued to listen to the conversation among Li Danqing and his two companions.

“Your information network seems quite extensive.”

Li Danqing wore a smile as he said, “Indeed, Huangfu Qingyu has invited me to the Black Corpse Canyon to kill the Black Corpse King.

We depart tomorrow.”

“Brother Li, your influence is growing.

Even Huangfu Qingyu personally invited you.

It seems certain that you will join the Inner Clan this year.”

Young man in the yellow robe said in admiration.

It was indeed an honor to be invited by a disciple from the Inner Clan, especially Huangfu Qingyu.

“Huangfu Qingyu has just advanced to the Wind, Fire, Thunder Realm.

He doesn’t have much confidence in dealing with the Black Corpse King.

I’m just there to help.”

Li Danqing knew very well that if he hadn’t advanced to the middle stage of Wind-Fire-Thunder Realm, Huangfu Qingyu would not have invited him.

“Brother Li, please take us with you when the time comes.”

The young man in the green robe said.

Being connected with Huangfu Qingyu would be very beneficial for their entry into the inner clan.

“Alright, I’ll ask Huangfu Qingyu.

If he has no objections, I will bring you both.”

Li Danqing replied, keeping in mind that the Black Corpse Canyon was dangerous; the cooperation of two more individuals would increase their collective strength.

The conversation of the three fell into Long Yan’s ears one word at a time.

A plan had already taken shape in his mind.

It wasn’t until after an hour that Li Danqing and the other two left the pub.

Long Yan also followed them out, persistently trailing behind them.

After passing a street, Li Danqing and the other two parted ways.

Li Danqing continued forward, seemingly having detected something.

He suddenly quickened his steps.

Long Yan also followed up.

Soon, Li Danqing arrived in a grove and then stopped.

“You’ve been sneaking around following me for so long, show yourself.”

Li Danqing turned around and addressed the open space in a light tone.

“Not bad for the number one genius of the Outer Clan to have found me.”

Long Yan walked up slowly, stopping ten meters away from Li Danqing, with a faint smile on his face.

Li Danqing being able to discover him was all part of Long Yan’s plan, the goal of which was to let Li Danqing choose a secluded place on his own.

“Who are you?”

Li Danqing watched Long Yan wrinkling his eyebrows.

He couldn’t ascertain Long Yan’s cultivation level, let alone sense his breath.

Long Yan was stronger than him – this was Li Danqing’s intuition.

“I didn’t want to kill you originally, but I have no choice.

It’s just unfortunate for you.”

Long Yan spoke casually.

There was no animosity between him and Li Danqing.

Deep down, he didn’t desire to kill Li Danqing, but it was only through Li Danqing that he could get closer to Huangfu Qingyu.

Therefore, Li Danqing had to die.

“Do you think you can scare me by playing mysterious?”

Li Danqing scoffed.

He was the first genius of the Outer Clan.

His strength and temperament were incomparable to ordinary people.

As such, he would not be scared by a mere sentence from Long Yan.

Furthermore, even if Long Yan’s strength surpassed his, this was still the Jiu Xuan Divine City.

He had the confidence to protect his life.
