"He doesn’t dare."
The first ancestor of the Ji Family spoke lightly.
The five Supre Elders looked at each other.
Xu Qingfeng once triggered the Nine-Colored Thunder Tribulation, successfully counter-killing a total of ninety-three thousand people from the forces of the Hundred Clans in the Immortal Domain, thus breaking the shackles of talent and condensing the first thousand-foot Human Race’s Destiny Candle.
At that ti, Xu Qingfeng had not yet beco a Venerable, yet he clashed with the younger generation of the ancient Tao Lineages in the Immortal Domain. Now that he has reached the Emperor Realm, it indeed makes people dare not relax.
"Master Senior Uncle, I think Xu Qingfeng might really... dare."
The voice of the second Supre Elder was not strong, as opposing the head of the seven elders of the Ji Family was no small matter.
"You are still too young and do not have a long-term vision. It’s just an Emperor Realm."
The first ancestor of the Ji Family said indifferently, "Not to ntion the other eight palaces in the Nine Kings’ Palace, haven’t we killed enough in the Emperor Realm from our Ji Family?"
The five Supre Elders dared not say more, clasping their fists in a gesture of respect. Since the first ancestor said so, there should be no issue.
And indeed.
The younger generation of the Ji Family only nearly killed Xu Qingfeng’s daughter, and she hasn’t died yet, but the Ji Family paid the price of two Quasi-Emperors and nearly five hundred Celestial Venerables.
Xu Qingfeng really should be satisfied with the results.
Thinking of this, the heavy stone in their hearts slowly set down, and the first ancestor’s divine sense gradually faded into the plaque.
"Let Xu Qingfeng go for now today, when the Era of the Emperor’s Fall cos, and seven ancestors exit seclusion, it will be his death day!"
The sixth Supre Elder’s face showed a vicious light.
"But I still feel sowhat uneasy."
The second Supre Elder, a charming matron capable of breaking any man’s heart with her brow creasing, was also the one who spoke earlier with doubt.
"The Master Senior Uncle has spoken, why worry?"
"Second Senior Sister, rest assured."
"I hope it’s just my illusion."
The second elder sighed lightly and prepared to leave with the other elders.
In the center of the ancestral hall stood seven plaques representing the seven ancestors of the Ji Family.
The walls on the left and right displayed life plaques of all the direct bloodlines of the Ji Family, arranged by the high and low realms.
At the top were seven jade-green life plaques, of which two were shattered, representing the death of two Supre Elders of the Ji Family.
Further down.
There were over a hundred life plaques representing the Ji Family’s Immortal Venerable Realm cultivators, of which thirty-seven shattered at this mont.
"Bang"
"Bang"
"Bang"
"..."
The continuous bursting of the life plaques stopped the five elders in their tracks, their eyes filled with horror, as Xu Qingfeng had truly dared to kill the Ji Family’s Immortal Venerables!
Moreover.
When the life plaques shattered, they captured the holder’s last monts, all killed by a long blade descending from the heavens.
Before the last scene dissipated, it was accompanied by a very calm voice:
"It seems the Ji Family is not willing to give Xu an explanation."
"Xu Qingfeng!!!"
The five elders gritted their teeth.
The Immortal Venerable Realm, anywhere within the Four Immortal Domains, could establish a school or sect, sufficient to protect the Tao Lineage for ten thousand years.
Even a family like the Ji Family, existing since a reincarnation cycle ago, required imnse resources to nurture an Immortal Venerable Realm cultivator.
Today, nearly forty percent of Immortal Venerable cultivators were lost at once, including nearly fifty percent of Celestial Venerable losses and the death and fall of two Quasi-Emperors.
Xu Qingfeng was not only stripping the skin off the Ji Family but also breaking their bones and stomping their face hard.
It was too malicious.
Too arrogant!
The five elders once again knelt before the ancestral hall, with sorrowful eyes.
Yet this ti.
The first ancestor’s voice did not appear.
Instead, it was another woman’s worn voice: "It’s over, the Era of the Emperor’s Fall is upon us, we cannot leave the Nine Kings’ Palace right now."
"Master, are we just going to let Xu Qingfeng..."
The second elder was reluctant, but her master interrupted, "Seal the Ji Family’s barrier, and unless ordered by us, no one may leave."
"Yes, Master."
"Yes, Senior Uncle."
...
...
Immortal Domain.
Xu Lai waited for a long ti for any Emperor Realm pressure to arise, but none ca, and his eyes gradually narrowed.
He had killed all the Celestial Venerables and Immortal Venerables of the Ji Family hidden or traveling in the Immortal Domain, yet the Ji Family’s old ones refused to show themselves.
Were they afraid?
Or temporarily unable to appear?
"Truly an old tortoise." Xu Lai was sowhat disappointed.
Originally, he wanted to use the opportunity to cut down one or two of the Ji Family or Nine Kings’ Palace’s old geezers, but they didn’t take the bait at all.
However, the gains were certain.
The Ji Family’s upper and middle combat strength drastically decreased, which would save many lives in the Heavenly Court when the Era of the Emperor’s Fall cos.
Also, in the Immortal Domain, more creatures would survive.
"Let’s go back."
Xu Lai patted his daughter’s small head.
Xu Yiyi blinked her eyes, "Daddy, weren’t you going to take Yiyi to kill people?"
"...It’s done."
"Huh?"
Xu Yiyi’s little face was bewildered.
She had been full of excitent, ready and eager for a battle, looking forward to killing back and forth seven tis with her father, when they just took a few steps in the starry sky and t a weird uncle.
And then it was over?
Wasn’t it just a walk?
What’s there to hide from mama about this.
"Ahem."
Xu Lai awkwardly rubbed his nose, having killed too quickly and forgotten to let his daughter observe the details, but it was not a big issue.
"Next ti, I’ll let you watch carefully."
"Mmm, mmm, mmm."
The little girl nodded expectantly.
Chang’an City was now safe, and Xu Lai took Yiyi back to Haitang Court. He wanted to let her mother see her daughter, so she wouldn’t keep worrying.
"Aunt Master!"
Seeing Yu Guiwan at ho, Xu Yiyi happily lunged at her, completely ignoring Ruan Tang behind, who had opened her arms, waiting to hug her daughter.
"Yiyi, where’s your little aunt?"
"Oh, mama’s here too."
"..."
Ruan Tang’s heart broke.
This is the so-called little cotton-padded jacket? How warm it really is.
"Pfft."
Yu Guiwan smiled and pinched Yiyi’s cheeks, "Just like your father, don’t tease your mama, she’s worried about you."
"Swish!"
Xu Yiyi dove into Ruan Tang’s arms, tears welling up on her little face, "Mama."
"Why are you crying?"
Now it was Ruan Tang’s turn to be at a loss.
"I really, really missed mama."
"... If you missed , why didn’t you co ho? You’ve been out having fun with your aunt for so long, weren’t you happy?"
Happy?
There was definitely happiness, but more was sadness.
In Chang’an City, every day she had to be prepared for life and death separations, like today many Martial Artists and cultivators who were good to her had passed away.
Yiyi didn’t speak, nuzzling in her mother’s embrace, "Mama, I’d like to sleep with you tonight."
"Sure, sure, I’ll go make your bed."
Ruan Tang smiled gently, "You haven’t been ho these days, your room hasn’t been tidied up much."
After mama left.
Xu Yiyi quietly asked, "Aunt Master, does cultivation always co with death?"
Yu Guiwan was taken aback.
Her realm was high, she could see the rich blood aura surrounding Xu Yiyi, and she knew Yiyi had been seriously injured recently.
This question made Yu Guiwan think of her father and two junior brothers, her expression dimd for a mont but soon recovered.
Yu Guiwan smiled and said, "That’s right, walking the path of cultivation is just like that, you always lose more than you gain."
