The succession of a family would always be a complicated matter, especially for a powerful family. There were numerous people covetously eyeing that position. But since her grandfather doted on her the most, he wanted her to be the successor of the family

Yan Jin, please help me support eldest brother.

Mu Ru Yue raised her head slightly as she instructed gently.

Suddenly, a black figure flashed over and landed by Xiao Fengs side. With a raise of his arm, he carried him onto his shoulder. With a raise of his sword-like brows, his black and tremendously domineering eyes focused on Mu Ru Yue.

Little girl, it was too risky today. If you didnt make that sudden breakthrough, perhaps you would have died. Hence, this senior has to increase his power. You help me to keep an eye out for an at least six-thousand-year-old medicinal plant. Only with that medicinal plant can this senior make a breakthrough.

Once Yan Jin broke through, he would reach the Mystic realm.

Mu Ru Yue indeed needed someone of such power

Lets go. Mu Ru Yues brows rose as she shifted her gaze to Yao Yun Qing and said, Lets return to the inn.

Yao Yun Qing was stunned. But

Since you are worried about Elder Zhang, how about we head back to check on him? If something were to happen to him, you will probably regret it for your entire life.

The girls voice entered her ear with the wind, making Yao Yun Qings body stiffen.

Thats right, if Elder Zhang died, she would live her entire life in regret

Alright, lets head back!

Her eyes was resolute at this instant.

No matter what, she didnt want to continue being protected behind Elder Zhang

Peng!

Inside an inn, a pair of hands struck heavily on Elder Zhangs chest, sending him flying. When he collided against a wall, a trace of blood seeped out of the corner of his mouth beneath his mustache as he looked mockingly at Hei Zhi.

What are you smiling for? Hei Zhi chuckled coldly as he continued, You are already dying, but you can still smile?

Im smiling? Why cant I smile?

Elder Zhang burst out laughing. With mockery in his laughter, he looked coldly at Hei Zhi. Even if this old man dies, the young mistress will definitely live. Once she inherits the family, it will be your death day! The young mistress will certainly avenge me then.

Hei Zhis expression was cold and an overflowing aura surge forth again, shooting toward Elder Zhang like a whirlwind.

Booom!

A hole was created on the wall as Elder Zhang was sent flying out of it with endless blood flowing out of his mouth.

Blood stained his robes red, yet he still had a smirk on his face as though mocking Hei Zhi.

Haha! You wont be able to live much longer after I die and you will come and accompany me. In that case, this old man can die without regret.

He shut his eyes after he said that

He had already reached his limit after battling for such a long time against Hei Zhi. He wouldnt be able to continue to accompany and take care of the young mistress from now on.

But it was sufficient if his death could give her a chance of survival.

He could die without any regret

Suddenly, the elder opened his eyes as a sharp dagger-like gaze shot toward Hei Zi. Following that, his bodys aura expanded like a balloon that was about to burst.

You are going to self destruct?

Hei Zhis expression changed drastically with a trace of astonishment in his eyes.

This old man was really seeking death. An expert that self destructs was akin to having his soul explode into smithereens, making him unable to reincarnate.

Generally, people wouldnt choose to self destruct when they lose but he had chosen this path
