Chapter 609: Chapter 608 The Trend of The Times


At that moment, Duanmu Han, who had been sitting in the car, got out.


He walked briskly towards them and called out from a distance, "Yanyang, is this how you treat your guests? We’ve come all the way here, and you just let us stand outside the valley to talk?"


Qin Yanyang quickly called out, "Grandfather," and then said, "It is indeed somewhat impolite to have grandfather and the elders wait here. However, given the deep forests and simple conditions of this place, Yanyang really has no better way to receive everyone. Grandfather, are you still angry with me?"


Duanmu Han chuckled. He understood Qin Yanyang’s nature and said, "I know you, girl, you are wary of outsiders. Never mind, in your heart, grandfather is grandfather, and grandfather is grandfather, you have never been too close to the people of the Duanmu Family."


Upon hearing this, Qin Yanyang felt slightly embarrassed. For some reason, she indeed had never liked visiting the Duanmu Family and seldom interacted with the relatives from the Duanmu Family.


But upon reflecting, she felt that she did not dislike her grandfather, it’s just that, compared to her grandfather, she preferred her grandfather more.


In her memory, this grandfather had always been reclusive and taciturn. Even when she and her mother went to the Duanmu Family to visit relatives, it was hard to see this grandfather.


"Tracing back to the root, both Imperial City’s Duanmu Family and the Hidden Sect’s Duanmu Family belong to the same lineage. Thus, everyone standing here today is family. Facing the future trends, naturally, we should unite and strive forward together," Duanmu Wugou suddenly said.


Qin Yanyang glanced at him and asked, "Just now my husband said, the purpose of your coming out here isn’t as simple as that, right? If it was just about family recognition... hehe, as soon as you knew of Yang Fei’s existence, you should have had his relatives come to meet him and explain everything, instead of having Duanmu Hai and Duanmu Yun run out to kill his second uncle, trying to force Yang Fei into revealing the Taoist Cultivation Technique."


Qin Yanyang’s words were sharply on point, directly making Duanmu Wugou speechless.


Duanmu Wentong burst into loud laughter, exclaiming how delightful it was.


Duanmu Song also wore a look of satisfaction on his face, but he glanced at Duanmu Wugou with a hint of fear in his eyes, then gently tugged at his father to remind him, "Father, do not get agitated."


Duanmu Wentong took a deep breath and steadied his emotions before looking at Qin Yanyang, and said, "You’re right, girl, many things could have been avoided. Unfortunately, some things have already happened, and it’s too late for regrets. But let bygones be bygones; since we are still alive, we need to plan for the future."


Qin Yanyang fell silent.


She had previously consoled Yang Fei, telling him to learn to let go and be magnanimous. She also highly agreed with what Duanmu Wentong had just said.


Let’s not talk about the past. Life is about looking forward.


Yang Fei was someone who did not respond well to harshness, and the genuine display of emotions from Duanmu Wentong and his son Duanmu Song moved him deeply, softening his heart.


He was briefly silent then nodded and said, "I’ve already said before, from now on, as long as the people of the Duanmu Family do not come to provoke trouble, I can let go of past grievances."


"That’s good," Duanmu Wentong said relievedly, "This way, your mother in heaven would be happy too."


Qin Yanyang, considering that the secret of the Spirit Gathering Array might involve the Hidden Sect World, and among them, Duanmu Wugou had a profound level of cultivation and being too close to the Spirit Gathering Array for too long might reveal something, suggested to Yang Fei, "Yang Fei, why don’t we walk outside with the elders and talk while walking?"


Yang Fei looked at her and said, "What’s there to talk about with them?"


Qin Yanyang, a bit helpless, shook the arm she was holding and said, "I told you, let’s not hold grudges. There are some things we still have to face, let’s go, listen to me."


Yang Fei nodded and said to Duanmu Wugou, "Let’s go."


Duanmu Wugou was secretly pleased, knowing that as long as the young man was willing to talk, the purpose of this trip was half achieved.


The group walked along the forest road deep into the mountains, moving away from Yunwu Mountain Valley.


Duanmu Wugou, Duanmu Wentong, and Duanmu Song had other objectives and thoughts, so they weren’t thinking about other matters, but Duanmu Han knew about the experiment base. He sighed internally and helplessly glanced at Qin Yanyang.


Feeling her grandfather’s thoughts, Qin Yanyang gave him a sweet smile and said, "Grandfather, did you come here this time especially to bring a few elders?"


Duanmu Han nodded and said, "Yes, that’s one reason. The second is to see if you could, considering your grandfather’s face, share more benefits with the Duanmu family in the future."


Qin Yanyang chuckled, "You are my grandfather, and the Duanmu family is my mother’s kin. If there really are benefits, of course, you won’t be left out."


Upon hearing this, Duanmu Han felt much better and laughed heartily, "Hahaha, you said it yourself; make sure you don’t forget by then."


"I won’t, Grandfather." Qin Yanyang looked at the others, her words laden with deep meaning, "We are all family after all."


"Yes, one family," Duanmu Wugou chuckled and took the opportunity to say, "In the future, the world’s situation will inevitably undergo earth-shattering changes. If our vast family stands united, no matter how fierce the storms are, we will surely have a place."


Qin Yanyang’s brows raised, and she looked at him, "Do you think that the world’s situation is going to undergo earth-shattering changes?"


Duanmu Wugou nodded and said, "It is an evident fact. I don’t see any reason to hide this from you.


Over the years, we have devoted ourselves to arduous cultivation, yet we have never found the true path to immortality. As a result, the mindset of most cultivators has already changed. If the path to immortality is unattainable, then we should live more splendidly within our finite lives.


Compared to the boredom of the Hidden Sect World, people would rather come to the outside world, which is full of excitement, to enjoy life.


Moreover, there has always been a prophecy in the Hidden Sect that a millennium catastrophe is approaching. Now it seems that it might be due to the constant depletion of spiritual energy in the Hidden Sect, possibly leading to the collapse of the entire Plane World, hence large-scale involvement of the Hidden Sect in the worldly affairs has become inevitable."


Seeing Qin Yanyang’s displeased expression, Duanmu Wugou continued, "I know you’re upset, but I must say, just with your Divine Continent’s secular power, you can’t block the entire Hidden Sect’s army. You should be aware of this, right?"


Qin Yanyang declared sternly, "If necessary, for the peace of Divine Continent, we might have to abandon the Hidden Sect."


Duanmu Wugou shivered slightly and looked at her, "Without the Hidden Sect, Divine Continent wouldn’t exist."


Qin Yanyang snorted, "Times have changed. Your existence is no longer that significant. On the contrary, for a strong and stable country, it has become a threat."


Duanmu Wugou shook his head, "It’s not that easy to eliminate. As long as those peak experts survive, and if their relatives are all dead, do you think they won’t go mad? If they start seeking revenge in their madness, do you think the country can still be stable?"


Qin Yanyang fell silent.


She acknowledged that his words touched a sensitive spot for the secular powers.


It was also a problem that other secular powers were grappling with.


However, now, Divine Continent Country might have a turning point, a possible solution to this problem.


If the Genetic Liquid Medicine is successful, if Yang Fei and she become strong enough, even possibly enabling some around her in the Innate Realm to also break through and become powerful, then Divine Continent would have the capacity to deal with the scourge of the Hidden Sect.


But the question was, would there be enough time?


"That’s why a grand integration is the only way out." Duanmu Wugou offered the solution, looking meaningfully at Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang, "This requires early planning and deep cooperation."
