Everyone’s eyebrows jumped when they saw the eighth elder of the Heavenly Gate Sect.

“That’s Shi Tianyuan, the eighth elder of the Heavenly Gate Sect, right?”

“Yes, you’re right!”

“I remember that the eighth elder’s daughter is called Shi Yingying. Shi Yingying has a singular fire spirit root and is extremely talented.”

“No wonder his son said that his mother is a favored daughter of the heavens.”

“It’s a shame that she has lowered herself for the sake of love.”

“No. I heard that the Heavenly Gate Sect and the Shan family are nemeses. How did the two fall in love?”

“Didn’t the child say that his mother married Shan Lingfei under a disguise?”

…

The Shan family had no idea that the unremarkable bitch was actually Heavenly Gate’s Shi Yingying. In terms of status, Shan Lingfei was indeed not worthy of her. After all, the Heavenly Gate Sect was now the biggest sect in the Nine Heavens Continent, while the Shan Family only had their former glory. The Shan family was now a third-rate family.

However, when the head of the Shan family thought about how his family had welcomed the daughter of their nemesis into the Shan family… His face darkened further.

“Grandpa, why are you here?” Shi Letong asked nervously when he saw his grandfather. He was supposed to do his trial, but he came to seek vengeance alone.

Eighth Elder glared at him and said sternly, “Shi Letong, you sure are reckless. How can you come alone to take revenge? Don’t you know how dangerous it is?”

Shi Letong curled his lips and said, “These are all old artifacts. It’s not like I can’t beat them. What’s there to be afraid of?!”

Everyone, “…”

What an arrogant kid!

“Shut up! How dare you talk back to me?” Eighth Elder shouted sternly. “Even if they’re old, their cultivation levels are higher than yours.”

Shi Letong said, “But they framed and killed my mother fourteen years ago. As her son, I definitely have to avenge her. Otherwise, I’m not worthy of being her son!”

Eighth Elder was silent for a moment and said, “But you could have told me about that.”

Shi Letong said with some sadness. “The sect and the Shan family have a deep grudge. I’m afraid that if I tell everyone I have the blood of the Shan family in me, the masters and grandfather won’t like me anymore.”

The eighth elder, “…” So that’s why. No wonder the child has been paying attention to the movements of the Shan family.

At first, they thought it was because of the grudge between the two families. They didn’t think that the reason was actually so personal.

Eighth elder sighed lightly and said, “Tong ‘Er, you’ve suffered too much!”

‘It looks like Tong ‘Er had known about his background a long time ago, but he hid it very well. He played and laughed like he was the happiest kid in the world.’

Shi Letong looked at his grandfather and asked carefully and softly, “Grandfather, do you still like me?”

“Of course!” At this moment, the first elder flew over and said, “Child, the Shan family is the Shan family, and you are you. Plus, you also have the blood of the Heavenly Gate Sect. You are a member of our Heavenly Gate sect, and you are our good grandson.”

“Child, you are still young. Why worry your mind over things like this?” The third elder comforted.

“Why did you hide such a huge thing in your heart? Why didn’t you tell your grandfather?” The sixth elder said with a heartache, “We would have understood.”

“Third grandfather, sixth grandfather…” Shi Letong began to cry.

It was a cry of relief and gratitude.

“Child, you must have faced a lot on your own!”

From their conversation, Shan Lingfei also understood that his son had known his true identity all these years, but he had kept it a secret. He had born all the grievances silently.

At the thought of this, Shan Lingfei’s eyes burned with anger, and his sharp gaze shot toward the person who had hurt his wife and son. With anger, he asked sharply, “Elders, do you still think that Xiaohe is not good enough for me?”

The Elders’ faces were red, and they were both embarrassed and angry.

With Shi Yingying’s identity, of course, she was good enough for Shan Lingfei.

The fifth elder of the Shan family snorted and said, “So what? Have you forgotten that the bitch…”

“You old fart. You’re still insulting my mother?! Go to hell!” Shi Letong was furious when he heard this.

With that, a ball of flame emerged from his palm. The ball of flame turned into a fire dragon and flew directly toward the fifth elder of the Shan family.

“Fire Dragon Technique? Does this mean the child has a double spirit root?”

“Double spirit root? But can they be cultivated together? Fire and water are incompatible.”

“But is there really someone who can cultivate with double spirit root? That’s impossible, right?”

People couldn’t believe what they saw.

When the fifth elder of the Shan family saw the fire dragon, he was stunned for a moment. Then, a disdainful and sarcastic look appeared on his face. “Brat, don’t you know that water can restrain fire?”

Then, he used the water spirit spell to extinguish the fire dragon.

However, to everyone’s surprise, the fire dragon did not get extinguished. Instead, the fire dragon overwhelmed the water dragon. The fire dragon trapped the fifth elder.

Shi Letong said proudly, “Isn’t water supposed to restrain fire? Try to extinguish it then!”

His actions shocked everyone. As real cultivators, they knew what had happened. This young man’s cultivation level was higher than the elders. It was why he was able to use his fire dragon to overwhelm the elder’s water dragon.

“How… How is this possible? How old is this child? His cultivation level is already above the aurous core stage?”

“No wonder he came to take revenge.”

“But… he has a double spirit root, right? How did he manage to cultivate above aurous core stage when normally, people with double spirit roots are trash?”

The surrounding people were all shocked by the young man’s cultivation, and the Shan family members were even more so.

A genius, this was a true genius. He managed to cultivate to the aurous core stage at the mere age of 13. What kind of genius was this? A genius like this wouldn’t appear for 100,000 years!

The last true genius of the Nine Heavens Continents was Shan Feiyu from 10,000 years ago. However, when Shan Feiyu was in his teens, he was only in his Qi cultivation stage. So this young man was even more talented than Shan Feiyu.

The Shan family was shocked by Shi Letong’s talent and talent. At this moment, they were truly regretting it.

If they had known earlier…

They should have let the bitch give birth to the child and then decided on his future after testing his aptitude. They could kill the mother and keep the child. But now, they had offended their Shan Family’s real genius.

The head of the Shan family could not stand such humiliation. He was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot.

“The head of the Shan Family appears to have vomited blood from anger.”

“How could he not?” Someone mocked. “They were so blind to kick their genius out of the door. If I were in his shoes, I’d vomit blood too.”

“It’s worse than that. They have made this rare genius the mortal enemy of the Shan family.”

“Haha, what a joke.”

Everyone was mocking the Shan family.

After the Shan family head spat out a mouthful of blood, he shouted at Shan Lingfei, “Shan Lingfei, you bastard, are you going to stand and watch as this vile spawn attacks us?” The old man was so shameless. The eight elders of the Shan family had already tried to kill the child, and now they were asking the child’s father to kill his own son?

All of them revealed looks of disdain and contempt towards the Shan family head.

Shan Lingfei stood in front of the child and looked at his father with an ice-cold gaze as he said coldly, “Father, the vile spawn that you speak of is Xiaohe and my biological son. Do you want me to kill my son? Have you lost your mind?”

“Bullshit! He’s not your son. He’s the vile spawn Shi Xiaohe gave birth to with someone else!” Master Shan was furious when he heard Shan Lingfei’s words. “Shan Lingfei, don’t be fooled by him!” Even now, he was trying to deceive Shan Lingfei.

“Old Man, you’re the vile spawn!” Shi Lingfei cursed
