ng Qi, who was getting ready to kowtow to the ancestors, was dumbfounded. Seeing the grin on Yang Chen’s face made him shriek, “Bastard!! Give back the treasure!!”
As the elder of the ng clan, other than guarding the spirit tablets, he was also tasked to guard the treasure.
ng Qi kneeled out of respect to the ancestors and the treasure, but he wasn’t expecting Yang Chen to take advantage of this.
He never could have imagined that the young master of the Yang clan would steal sothing from them!
Yang Chen smirked, “Old man, are you silly? Why would you say it out loud? How can I resist the temptation when you’ve said there’s a treasure? Besides, I’ve basically torn down the whole clan. I can’t possibly ignore a treasure. I’m not a fool. I love stealing things from others!”
“You...the Yang clan has been faithful and honest for the past generations, how can their descendants turn out to be soone like you?! You’re inhumane! Despicable!” ng Qi couldn’t co up with better curses.
Yang Chen wasn’t pleased to hear this, “I don’t mind hearing this from my lover but I’ve done nothing to you. Who gave you the right to call inhumane?”
“You...” ng Qi was speechless, “Are you going to return the treasure to ?!”
“Treasure? What treasure? I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Yang Chen started to play the fool. He was used to acting like this.
ng Qi’s gaze was ominous and as if he had made up his mind, he glared at Yang Chen before crossing his arms, “Fine! Listen to ! The ng clan will seek revenge on you for everything you’ve done today! No one will be able to save you then!”
Having said so, ng Qi picked up all the spirit tablets with his True Yuan and stored them in a red wooden box before leaving.
He couldn’t fight in the ancestral hall since it would be disrespectful towards his ancestors.
Besides, he knew that there was nothing he could do to Yang Chen.
Yang Chen could tell that ng Qi was going to look for backups and even if he was worried about it, he’d rather burn the building down first to keep his promise.
Now that his opponent was gone, Yang Chen no longer intended to tear the rest of the buildings down with the space laws.
Yang Chen poured so oil onto the curtains and dropped the candles. Soon, the planks that constituted the fra of the building started to catch on fire.
Since most of the structure of the building was built from wood, the fire started to burn fiercely.
From the parking lot near the yard, ng Kaiyuan and the gang mbers could see the yellow light as plus of smoke rose from the blazing fire.
They heard the crumbling sounds from before but they didn’t dare to go in and minutes later, the fire started.
“Father, did Elder ng Qi fail to stop him?” ng Que asked in disbelief.
ng Kaiyuan’s expression was dark and he spoke with a low voice, “That dude must have cheated. Elder ng Qi is already in the Soul Forming stage, how can he lose to that dude?”
The gang mbers couldn’t hear them as the situation was a ss.
At this mont, ng Qi scurried towards them with a big red wooden box in one hand.
Most of the gang mbers couldn’t recognise him and they turned silent while looking at the big box with astonished expressions.
“ng Kaiyuan, I have to inform the inner sect master about this! We’ll never forgive the Yang clan! Take good care of the spirit tablets and place them sowhere with a good Feng Shui.”
Having said so, ng Qi put the box onto the ground gently.
Hearing his words made ng Kaiyuan wonder if Elder ng Qi wasn’t a match against Yang Chen but he didn’t dare to ask.
ng Qi looked back and glared at the blazing fla before disappearing from sight in the next second.
The gang mbers thought they were hallucinating but the box was still there on the ground.
“Grandfather, what did the elder an by inner sect master?” ng Yue overheard their conversation.
ng Kaiyuan glared at his granddaughter, “Don’t overstep your boundaries! I would’ve told you if you’re allowed to know about it!”
ng Yue pouted and lowered her head but from her expression, anyone could tell that she was thinking about sothing.
“Father, what should we do now? Will he co out here for us?” ng Qin asked worriedly.
ng Kaiyuan looked at his youngest son in disdain, “Why? Are you afraid?”
“Father...don’t mock . I’m worried about everyone’s safety.” ng Qin couldn’t even persuade himself.
ng Kaiyuan snorted, “Your wife and son really did a ‘great’ job for challenging the Yang clan. Are you guys prepared to launch an attack on Beijing next ti?!”
ng Qin’s legs went soft and he kneeled on the ground to beg for rcy, “Father! I knew nothing about this! Zhang Ling and Zhexin did it behind my back...”
Zhang Ling, who was still mourning over her father’s death, stopped crying and kneeled next to ng Qin.
ng Zhexin was worried that his grandfather would bla him and he didn’t hesitate to join his parents on his knees too.
“Kneeling is all you know! Even a kid from the Yang clan can barge into our ancestral hall by himself and he even burned down the ancestral hall! Yet all you guys can do is kneel before ! I would’ve shot you now if it wasn’t for your dead mom! Zhang Ling, Zhexin, don’t expect to show you two any rcy if you make another mistake again!”
ng Kaiyuan yelled at them and no one dared to look up nor talk but they knew that he had let Zhang Ling and ng Zhexin off the hook.
As ng Qin’s eldest son, ng Zhelong was embarrassed to watch his father and younger brother kneel in public.
“Grandfather, I can’t hear any sound coming from inside. Did he leave?” ng Yue asked curiously.
ng Kaiyuan took a long and deep breath, “What else can he do? He’s really a troublemaker, burning our ancestral hall down and leaving as he pleases. Just wait, he’ll definitely suffer the consequences as long as the Yang clan is still present in this world!”
ng Kaiyuan didn’t know that Yang Chen also stole their treasure as ng Qi was too embarrassed to tell him this.
The Southern China Gang sighed at the sight of the fus.
On the other hand, Yang Chen was watching the Absolute Sword Taoist vigilantly.
As the current Hongng ssenger, Absolute Sword Taoist flew over when he noticed a movent with the space laws and when he got here, the ancestral hall was already up in flas!
His expression was dark as he looked at Yang Chen with furrowed brows, “Why did you do this?”
Yang Chen didn’t want to explain the whole situation, “They provoked first and I broke the seal because they had an elder who’s in the Soul Forming stage. I didn’t breach the conduct.”
“You’re in trouble,” Absolute Sword Taoist didn’t want to know the details, “The ng clan may be a clan in the mundane world but their actual support isn’t as simple as you think!”
Yang Chen was startled. Things started to feel odd to him, “You’re making it sound so scary. I thought most of the cultivators with cultivation above the Soul Forming stage have been brought into Hongng? Why would you find a force scary when you’re the ssenger?”
Absolute Sword Taoist sighed, “Honestly, I don’t really know much about it since it’s my first ti as the ssenger and I’ve never been in contact with the mundane world before this. Before I ca here, the supervisor who’s in charge of cultivators in the Huang phase ntioned that the ng clan has a special position in the mundane world and we’re not allowed to cross them or else it’ll bring trouble to Hongng. The hierarchy is deep-rooted in Hongng and ordinary Hongng cultivators like us wouldn’t know about the secrets that the higher-ups do...”
