Chapter 275: The Esteemed Figure in Others' Eyes

"Quick... quick, have the best chef in the clan prepare the most lavish feast."

Yao Tian scrambled and rolled as he fell from the void, then immediately roared, his voice so loud that the entire Yao clan could hear.

For this trial in the Burial Sea Demon Land, Yao Tian had not sent the clan's children. From the moment the situation in the Burial Sea Demon Land arose, Yao Tian felt that there must be a reason behind it.

As the sole ruler of Burial Demon City, the Yao clan had trained countless disciples over the years, some even stronger than his own children. Thus, there was no need to take risks.

"Clan leader, what..." The Yao clan steward came running from not far away, looking around. Why hadn't the disciples who went with the clan leader returned? And why was the clan leader so flustered? Had something happened?

"Quick, give orders. Have the best chef prepare the finest, most lavish meal. If it's not ready within one incense stick's time, they'll all be beheaded." Yao Tian said sternly.

The Yao clan steward was stunned, utterly astonished. He had never seen the clan leader so urgent. But after so many years in the Yao clan, the steward quickly sprang into action.

At that moment, a figure descended from the sky. When some clan disciples saw the figure, their hearts trembled—such a powerful aura.

"Ancestor..." Yao Tian, seeing the arrival, hurried forward to greet him, but inwardly felt aggrieved. In that dangerous moment just now, the ancestor had abandoned him.

But after all, the other party was the ancestor, and also his grandfather. Even if he was angry, there was nothing he could do.

"This opportunity is rare. Give orders for the children to come with me later. If we can build a good relationship with that one, it will be a solid backing for the Yao clan." The Yao clan ancestor said steadily.

He had his own thoughts. That terrifying existence seemed young, but it was hard to estimate his true age. If he brought the clan's children along and, by luck, one of them built a good relationship with him, that would be a trump card for the Yao clan.

Although the Yao clan was a very powerful family in the Eastern Spirit Continent, fortunes could change unpredictably. It was hard to guarantee that the Yao clan could be passed down for generations.

If one day the Yao clan faced annihilation, they could go and plead, and perhaps that person, remembering their past connection, would come to help.

For the Yao clan, this was the greatest trump card. Though it might be useless in ordinary times, at a critical moment, it could be the key to turning the tide.

"Yes, Ancestor." Yao Tian nodded. His figure instantly turned into several beams of light, bringing over his sons.

Soon, the five young masters of the Yao clan were brought by Yao Tian. They didn't know what had happened, but along the way, hearing their father's words, they understood.

They were to build a good relationship with a terrifying great cultivator.

And what excited them even more was that whoever could build a good relationship with that great cultivator would become the next clan leader of the Yao clan.

Thus, upon hearing this, the five were filled with excitement.

No matter what, even if they had to abandon all dignity, they had to build a good relationship with that great cultivator.

"Great-grandfather..." The five who had arrived at the scene, seeing the old man, respectfully addressed him with excitement.

This was the greatest trump card of the Yao clan—the only Great Heavenly Realm Perfection stage expert.

The reason Burial Demon City could be stationed in the Burial Sea Demon Land for so long was all because of this great-grandfather.

"Mm." The Yao ancestor nodded, and a sharp light suddenly burst from his murky eyes.

"Where is that child Wu Xie?" the Yao ancestor asked.

The five were taken aback. Sixth brother? Why bring that waste here? In their eyes, that waste had poor talent, poor brains, and spent all his time indulging in pleasure. What use could he be?

"Ancestor, that child Wu Xie is idle and disrespectful. I'm afraid if he angers that person, it will cause trouble." Yao Tian also said worriedly.

"Go, call him over. He is a member of the Yao clan; he cannot be left out." The Yao ancestor said with displeasure. He genuinely liked Wu Xie as a child.

But the child was also pitiful, lacking talent. In the Eastern Spirit Continent, if a child from a major family lacked talent, they were basically branded as a waste.

"Teng Fei, go and fetch your younger brother." Yao Tian said.

"Yes, Father." Yao Teng Fei, the fifth young master, had a look of disdain in his eyes, but since the ancestor had spoken, he had to obey. So he headed toward Yao Wu Xie's residence.

At that moment, inside Yao Wu Xie's residence.

Yao Wu Xie was still studying the things in his mind.

"Titanium-level Demon Body"?

What kind of thing is that? Cultivate by being beaten? Is that a joke? Brother Lin, really, could such a technique exist in this world?

But thinking of Brother Lin's serious expression, Yao Wu Xie rubbed his chin and made a decision. Since he would have plenty of opportunities to be beaten in the future, he might as well learn it.

"Sixth brother." Just as Yao Wu Xie was about to go out for a stroll, Yao Teng Fei's call came from outside the door.

Yao Wu Xie's expression changed. Does it have to be like this? Are they addicted to beating me? Do the five brothers have to take turns beating me every day?

Then Yao Wu Xie sighed helplessly. It seemed he couldn't avoid it. This was a good chance to test whether the "Titanium-level Demon Body" was useful.

After taking a deep breath, Yao Wu Xie pushed open the door and went out.

"Fifth brother, come on, I'm ready." Yao Wu Xie spread his arms, prepared to be beaten.

"Waste, come with me. The ancestor is looking for you." Yao Teng Fei looked at Yao Wu Xie's half-dead appearance and snorted disdainfully.

He didn't know why the ancestor valued Yao Wu Xie so much. From head to toe, he saw nothing extraordinary.

Yao Wu Xie was stunned, then delighted.

"Great-grandfather..."

...

When Yao Teng Fei brought Yao Wu Xie over, the others also showed disdain.

But with the ancestor present, they dared not act recklessly.

"Great-grandfather..." Yao Wu Xie, seeing the old man, immediately stepped forward to greet him respectfully.

He knew that the only reason he hadn't been killed by his five older brothers was because the ancestor was still alive.

His father didn't care for him; only his great-grandfather did.

Yao Wu Xie knew that the day his great-grandfather was gone would be his doom.

"Mm, not bad. Your cultivation has improved quite a bit since I last saw you." The Yao ancestor stroked his beard and nodded approvingly.

"Hehe..." Yao Wu Xie's face reddened slightly, feeling a bit embarrassed by the praise.

The five young masters of the Yao clan felt even more disdainful. In three years, his cultivation had only made a tiny breakthrough. What was there to be smug about?

Time passed quickly.

The steward led the servants, bringing over all the prepared dishes. Each dish was extremely precious, made from the Yao clan's most valuable ingredients.

The Yao ancestor nodded, waved his sleeve, and led everyone through the void.
