Luo Family.

The entrance to the forbidden zone was already crowded with people, almost all the members of the Luo Family were gathered here.

Three days ago, the Luo Family's young master decisively entered the forbidden zone, breaking through to the Zhiwei Realm overnight. This news almost swept through and shocked the entire Luo Family!

How terrifying is the forbidden zone of the Luo Family? Even some Zhiwei Realm experts turn pale at the mention of the forbidden zone.

Those who enter the forbidden zone are almost all people who have committed grave mistakes, unforgivable persons destined to die. The Luo Family would throw them into the forbidden zone to suffer the most cruel punishment in the world.

Who is the Luo Family's young master? Not only is he the most outstanding talent in the Luo Family, but he is also the sole son of the Family Head! His status can be said to be resplendent to the extreme!

Moreover, Luo Yan had long since made a prominent name for himself among various Hidden World Families, those so-called geniuses in those families weren't even on the same level as adversaries against Luo Yan.

Even saying Luo Yan is the most outstanding young person in the entire Cultivation World is definitely not exaggerated! At least, in the eyes of the Luo Family, everyone believes this to be the case!

Yet why did this outstanding young master of the Luo Family remain silent and step into the forbidden zone, a place of nine deaths and one life?

The Luo Family is an Overlord Level Hidden World Family, a mere investigation clearly laid out everything that happened during the grand competition for the Luo Family members.

A brat, appearing from who knows where, suddenly launched a surprise attack on the family's young master during the competition, causing the young master to fall comatose!

The news has already fermented and is unstoppable! Everyone feels like there's a raging fire burning in their chest!

A mere boy with such lowly status dared to attack the young master!?

It's as laughable and tragic as a beggar daring to assassinate a Prince!

"The world has degraded! People's hearts are not what they used to be! Such ruffians exist in our foundation!"

"It seems our Luo Family has been dormant too long, even some lowly beings dare to ride over our heads!"

All the members of the Luo Family were seething with anger, just as they were about to capture and kill the ruffian, the young master of the Luo Family suddenly walked out from the forbidden zone, commanding everyone not to continue investigating the matter.

More shockingly to everyone was that the young master had broken through to the Zhiwei Realm overnight!

A twenty-five-year-old Zhiwei Realm expert, rare in the world!

In an instant, those who initially gritted their teeth at Xu Fan instead broke out in cheers and laughter.

The young master's extraordinary talent, breaking through to Zhiwei in his twenties, given time might exceed further, reaching a higher realm, leading the Luo Family to ultimate glory!

Compared to this, a mere Xu Fan isn't that significant anymore.

Before our young master, all geniuses pale into insignificance!

Today is the day our young master exits the forbidden zone, everyone is gathered at the entrance, awaiting Luo Yan's emergence.

Thump, thump, thump!

Heavy footsteps echoed, carrying a peculiar rhythm that reverberated in everyone's ears, as if pounding on their hearts, making them feel a little breathless.

A blood-red figure slowly walked out of the forbidden zone, long hair wildly flailing, lifting his head, those originally pitch-black eyes now scarlet!

Upon seeing these scarlet eyes, those intending to cheer suddenly fell silent, all feeling an invisible pressure enveloping them as if stared at by the grim reaper.

"Welcome, young master back!"

Among the crowd, the butler Luo Lin gritted his teeth, withstanding the pressure, first kneeling to the ground, congratulating Luo Yan.

Everyone suddenly realized and followed suit, kneeling, congratulating Luo Yan.

"Welcome, young master back!"

"The young master truly has extraordinary talent! Breaking through to Zhiwei in his twenties, rare in history!"

"Quickly prepare! Prepare a bath and change of clothes for the young master!"

In no time, the Luo Family was filled with cheers and laughter.

…

Lan Family.

In contrast to the bustling Luo Family, the Lan Family was eerily quiet.

Though the Lan Family's numbers aren't less than the Luo Family, at this moment all Lan Family servants worked in trepidation, head lowered, busying themselves, not daring to make a sound.

Three days ago, the Lan Family's young lady entered the Ruthless Path, overnight all her beautiful hair turned snow-white, the Family Head was furious, all senior Lan Family members were furious.

At such a juncture, who would dare cause trouble for themselves?

Deep within the Lan Family, in a small courtyard, a group of people were standing.

Despite being March's sunny day, the seemingly ordinary courtyard was completely covered and submerged in ice and snow, occasionally swept by howling winds, piercingly cold.

The expressions of those standing in the courtyard were even more chillingly terrifying, with each breath unfurling waves of daunting power, none among them was weak!

These were the senior members of the Lan Family, three days ago, Lan Xinyi covered the Lan Family hall in ice and snow, then entered the courtyard for cultivation without uttering a word.

Lan Tongxuan led the senior Lan Family members in arduous waiting, today marked the third day.

"Miss, please come out! The Family Head has been waiting three days and nights for you. Whatever grievance you have suffered, come out and talk with us, we'll help vent your anger!"

"Yes, miss, please come out."

Numerous senior members affectionately called out, their voices incredibly heartfelt, yet no sound came from the courtyard, only the howling of the cold wind.

At the center of the group, Lan Tongxuan's face held immense pain, tears glistening in his eyes.

As Family Head, Lan Tongxuan busily ran around for the Lan Family's sake day after day, in ten years he hadn't had heartfelt, open conversations with his daughter, now he's full of regret!

"Xinyi, I beg you, come out now, from now on I won't do anything, just accompany Xinyi, would that be alright?"

Facing the direction of the courtyard, Lan Tongxuan's tiger eyes streamed tears, wetting his face.

At this moment, Lan Tongxuan laid down all his dignity and pride, with tearful pleas, solely to turn his daughter's heart back.

Lan Tongxuan's state moved everyone!

Yet the courtyard remained firmly locked, the ice thick and cold.

Amidst the ice and snow, Lan Tongxuan's upright figure suddenly shrunk down, like an ordinary middle-aged man, or rather, a simple father.

After waiting more, seeing the still tightly closed door, despair flashed in everyone's eyes.

Once on the Ruthless Path, all emotion is forsaken.

However, at this moment, the cold wind suddenly eased.

Creak.

The door was pushed open, a chilling silhouette stepped out, paused, then departed.

Lan Tongxuan stared dazed at the chilling silhouette, shivering all over, "Zhiwei Realm!"
