Xu Jian was at a loss for words. If Xu Lai's first point could be considered speculation, then the second was definite evidence.
Although Yun Ji's combat power rivaling that of a Martial Ancestor didn't seem astonishing to him, the thought of this powerhouse being born amidst the Yun Clan's scattered and tumultuous decline after their downfall moved him.
He felt as though he could see a young figure, overwhelmed by a raging hatred in his heart, solely focused on becoming stronger.
Yet such a capable young man was not the chosen successor of the Yun Clan. It wouldn't matter if Yun Xiu were of an older generation like Yun Ji's aunt, but she was actually Yun Ji's younger sister. By that logic, it could only be as Xu Lai had said—the other members of the Yun Clan must have recognized something superior in Yun Xiu. Otherwise, why would they entrust the Divine Artifact, which symbolizes the family leadership succession, to Yun Xiu?
