After successfully fusing with the Seven-Colored Divine Pearl, Lan Yundiao advanced from the 7th stage of the Violet Realm to the 9th stage, becoming the top expert of the Lan family.
Bai Li Hongzhuang and the others were pleasantly surprised by Lan Yundiao's breakthrough. In the Violet Realm, each advancement usually took a long time. They hadn't expected that Lan Yundiao would directly advance two stages after successfully fusing with the Seven-Colored Divine Pearl. It was truly an unexpected delight.
With this achievement, Lan Yundiao was now even more suitable to become the head of the Lan family.
Upon hearing the news that Lan Yundiao had successfully fused with the Seven-Colored Divine Pearl, Lan Jingkuang was devastated. He had kept the Seven-Colored Divine Pearl inside Bai Li Hongzhuang's body all these years, only to have it end up being used to aid Lan Yundiao's breakthrough.
The Seven-Colored Divine Pearl had cultivated within Lan Qingyan's body for so long, accumulating its current energy. Lan Jingkuang never expected that it would ultimately fall into Lan Yundiao's hands. It was a feeling of frustration, like losing a chicken while trying to catch a rice thief.
"Lan Jingkuang, it seems that after nineteen years, I have emerged victorious," Lan Yundiao calmly looked at Lan Jingkuang, perceiving the intense hatred and unwillingness in his angry gaze.
This kind of gaze was not unfamiliar to him. In fact, over the years, he had often looked at Lan Jingkuang with the same eyes.
And now, as he looked at Lan Jingkuang in the dungeon, he couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction and a tinge of sighing in his heart.
"Lan Yundiao, if only I had cut the weeds and eliminated the roots back then!"
Hearing Lan Jingkuang's words, Lan Yundiao chuckled lightly, "Over the years, I have also wished for you to give me a chance to get even. You said you would make me beg for death, but the torment of over a decade is far more terrifying than death itself.
I believe your thoughts were correct, because now, you will also experience that feeling."
Nanyun Xiao's gaze suddenly turned malicious, and a hint of ferocity emerged, "I will return to you everything you have given me, twice-fold!"
"If you dare, then attack me now!" Lan Jingkuang said hatefully.
If he could, he would rather die now and end it all. The feeling of being humiliated was driving him insane.
"Take it easy, the torment you should endure will come in due time. Once I assume the position of the head of the Lan family, that will be the beginning of your suffering."
The elegance that used to grace Lan Yundiao's face had long vanished, replaced by intense hatred.
It was because of his tolerance towards Lan Jingkuang in the past that he had allowed his wife and daughter to suffer such treatment. But now, he would never make the same mistake again. To confront the suffering they had endured all these years, to fulfill his intense hatred, and to satisfy his desire for revenge, he would make sure to multiply it all onto Lan Jingkuang and Yue Manlan.
"You accuse me of cruelty, but aren't your current actions despicable?" Lan Jingkuang's eyes turned red, "If your current deeds were to be known, do you think they would still see you as that elegant and noble Lan Yundiao?"
Lan Yundiao shook his head and said, "Don't try to provoke me. Learning from your experiences over the years, I will never give you and Yue Manlan another chance to appear before the world."
"Tomorrow is the day I assume the position of the family head. If the opportunity arises, I will make you witness everything firsthand."
A smile appeared on Lan Yundiao's face. He knew all too well that, compared to anything else, this was what Lan Jingkuang would find the most unbearable.
