Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 531 - 524 Brotherhood Ceremony
This time it was Qi Ning's turn to be surprised. How could Cang Di Yi not know about this?
Could it be that the obliteration of the Ancient Jia Family really had nothing to do with Ding Huan? Otherwise, how could Cang Di Yi not know about it?
Fortunately, Cang Di Yi quickly realized and said somewhat uncertainly:
"When Brother Huan and I first arrived here, Brother Huan said he had some matters to attend to, but he came back very quickly. Could it be that Brother Huan wiped out the Ancient Jia Family in that short time?"
As expected, the information from the Wanjie Commerce is still reliable.
Qi Ning smiled and said:
"Yes, Senior Ding went to the Heavenly Ancient Trading Building in the Ancient Jia Immortal City to appraise treasures. The manager of the trading building coveted those treasures and angered Senior Ding.
In a fit of rage, Senior Ding burned down the Heavenly Ancient Trading Building. Naturally, destroying just one building wasn't enough to vent his anger.
Senior Ding then went to the Ancient Jia Family and slaughtered every single one of them, leaving not even one ant alive."
Upon hearing this, Cang Di Yi finally understood.
No wonder Ding Huan asked him where the largest trading building of the Ancient Jia Family was. It turned out he was seeking revenge for him.
This immense favor, he could never repay in his lifetime.
Cang Di Yi knelt down in front of the Immortal Sect and murmured, "All the wronged souls of the Xuanhuang Immortal Sect, the heavens have eyes, and Brother Huan has avenged us.
I, Cang Di Yi, swear here today, from now on, my life belongs to Brother Huan. If Brother Huan asks me to die, I will not live an extra second.
This oath, all members of the Xuanhuang Immortal Sect bear witness, if I betray this oath, may heaven and earth abandon me."
After speaking, Cang Di Yi respectfully knelt and kowtowed several more times.
After the Immortal Sect was destroyed because of him, Cang Di Yi had only one goal in his life—to avenge the Immortal Sect.
Even if it meant being shattered to pieces, his resolve for revenge would never waver.
Now that Ding Huan had avenged him, his life belonged to Ding Huan.
Xue Xiyun, who stood to the side, had also grown much more sensible. She too knelt before the Immortal Pill Valley and kowtowed.
When she was collecting the bodies of her senior sisters and uncles from the Immortal Pill Valley, Xue Xiyun vowed to avenge them. Little did she know that Brother Huan had already helped her with her deep-seated hatred.
"Thank you, Elder Qi. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have known what was going on." Cang Di Yi bowed once more to Qi Ning.
Ding Huan had given him a bunch of rings. Now he knew where those rings came from.
Brother Huan had told him before that these rings were his, taken from the Ancient Jia Family, but he never understood what that meant.
No wonder he and Xue Xiyun had stayed here for a few days without any disciples from the Ancient Jia Family coming.
To say Brother Huan had exterminated them all is no exaggeration. Even if there were a few survivors, they were probably all on the run now, right?
"No need to be so formal. With such talent, Di Yi, your future is limitless. Just remember not to forget me when you achieve greatness."
Qi Ning was an old hand in various situations and knew now was the best time to get close to Cang Di Yi.
Sure enough, Cang Di Yi said seriously, "Elder Qi, if you don't mind, Xiyun and I would like to acknowledge you as our sister. But I have sworn to follow Brother Huan from now on.
Brother Huan wiped out an entire family for me. It must have affected him somewhat, or else he wouldn't be so eager to go into seclusion..."
At first, Qi Ning thought it was normal, but she widened her eyes when she heard the latter part.
The Great Immortal Governor of the Pangu Great World, affected by killing thousands and obliterating a cultivation family?
Are you joking with me, or are you joking with me?
But these were minor details. She looked seriously at Cang Di Yi: "Since you, Di Yi, are willing to become siblings with me, let's not put it off. Shall we do it today?"
Cang Di Yi nodded: "I have the same idea."
Xue Xiyun quickly added, "Count me in too."
Qi Ning was overjoyed. She set up an altar, lit three sticks of Bloodline Incense, and knelt down:
"Today, I, Qi Ning, form a bond of siblinghood with Cang Di Yi and Xue Xiyun. From now on, I will treat Cang Di Yi as my own brother and Xue Xiyun as my own sister.
I, Qi Ning, will take care of my brother Cang Di Yi and my sister Xue Xiyun with all my might. If I have second thoughts, may heaven and earth abandon me."
Cang Di Yi was deeply moved and, with Xue Xiyun, quickly lit the Bloodline Incense and knelt down: "I, Cang Di Yi, and Xue Xiyun, acknowledge Qi Ning as our sister today.
From now on, the three of us will share fortunes and misfortunes, help each other in times of crisis, and support each other through thick and thin. If we break this oath, may heaven and earth abandon us."
Though at first Qi Ning was making friends with Cang Di Yi to curry favor with Ding Huan, after taking this oath with the Bloodline Incense, she genuinely felt a lot closer to Cang Di Yi and Xue Xiyun.
She held Cang Di Yi's hand and asked, "Brother, do you really not know Senior Ding's background?"
Cang Di Yi replied, "I only know that Brother Huan is from the Pangu Great World. I know nothing else."
Qi Ning sighed, glanced at the place where Ding Huan was in seclusion, and said:
"Senior Ding is the Great Immortal Governor of the Pangu Great World, his reputation even above that of the Heavenly Emperor there. The Heavenly Emperor of the Pangu Great World is his life-and-death friend.
During the Great Immortal Governor's seclusion, the demon race and demon race attacked the Immortal Court, impacting his cultivation. In his anger, the Great Immortal Governor led the Immortal Court Army and annihilated the demon race and demon race.
By annihilate, I mean not just driving the demons out of the Immortal Court, but eradicating every living being of those two races.
Not only that, it is said that the Heavenly Emperor of the Demon Clan, Peng Xueshan, was also killed by his hand.
After that, the gods courted death by nailing the Great Immortal Governor's Dao partner. The Great Immortal Governor immediately led the Immortal Court Army into the gods' territory, leaving not a single ant alive.
The Heavenly Emperor of the gods, Feng Huan, was captured alive by the Great Immortal Governor, his body nailed in the void, and his divine soul burned with the Law Flame for a hundred years.
Now, the Human Tribe, led by Emperor Xingpan, is about to unify the Pangu Great World due to the Great Immortal Governor's dominance..."
At this point, Qi Ning gave Cang Di Yi a meaningful look.
Although she did not continue, the implication was crystal clear.
Would someone like that be troubled by exterminating the Ancient Jia Family?
Being naive is fine, but don't assume everyone is as naive as you, alright?
Cang Di Yi's jaw dropped. He had never imagined the Brother Huan he knew could be such a ridiculously powerful and terrifying figure.
Not only was he the Great Immortal Governor of the Pangu Great World, but he was also leading the Human Tribe to unify the Pangu Great World?
Thinking back to when Ding Huan said he had killed several Heavenly Emperors, he thought it was lunacy, a ridiculous bluff.
Now he knew it was true.
Some things were incredible to him because his vision and strength limited his thinking, not because they were impossible.
"I see." Cang Di Yi finally let out a long breath.
Qi Ning looked at Cang Di Yi and Xue Xiyun. Initially, she had indeed befriended them because of Ding Huan, but now she genuinely liked these brother and sister.
She had roamed the void for the Wanjie Commerce, had seen her share of hypocrites, and she herself was no saint.
Meeting pure-hearted siblings like Cang Di Yi and Xue Xiyun was a first for her.
…
The Jin Family Immortal Clan.
In the entire Lucida Immortal Land, the Ancient Jia Family was recognized as the number one cultivation family.
The Jin Family Immortal Clan was undoubtedly second.
The Jin Family Immortal Clan also had an Immortal Emperor, Jin Xingzhi.
He also achieved the Immortal Emperor rank in the Pangu Great World.
At this moment, the Jin Family Immortal Clan was holding a family conference. All the Immortal Kings of the Jin Family were present in the council hall, except for the family patriarch, Jin Xingzhi.
The sole agenda of this family conference was to discuss the obliteration of the Ancient Jia cultivation family.
Since the Ancient Jia Family was exterminated, overnight, all their shops, rest buildings, and workshops across the entire Lucida Immortal Land were ransacked.
Originally the largest cultivation family in the entire Lucida Immortal Land, their trading buildings and shops were everywhere.
But as fantastical as it was, overnight, not even a trace of the Ancient Jia Family's shops remained in the Lucida Immortal Land, nor any disciples of the Ancient Jia Family.
The cultivation world is cruel like that, cruel enough to leave you no time to react.
The Family Head Jin Zongxiong's gaze swept over all the Jin Family's Immortal Kings. In the dead silence of the council hall, where even a pin drop could be heard, he finally spoke:
"I believe everyone understands the reason for today's family council. The Ancient Jia Family has been annihilated, and it took no more than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
Moreover, the person who wiped out the Ancient Jia Family was a single individual.
Although we still don't know where this person came from, it doesn't change the fact that I need to tell you all: the next could be our Jin Family…"
One of the Jin Family elders stepped forward:
"Patriarch, the reason that strong individual destroyed the Ancient Jia Family was, firstly, that the Ancient Jia Family's Immortal Emperor Jia Buqin was not in Lucida Immortal Land, and secondly, the Heavenly Ancient Trading Building of the Ancient Jia Family went too far.
They shamelessly attempted to seize that strong individual's magical treasure, which angered that strong individual." freewēbnoveℓ.com
Jin Zongxiong sneered: "Heh, how many times do you think our Jin Family has done such things?"
Everyone fell silent.
In terms of seizing others' magical treasures, resources, and silencing people, the Jin Family Immortal Clan was just as guilty, with blood-stained hands like the Ancient Jia Family.
They had often robbed treasures and forced transactions, sometimes even more aggressively than the Ancient Jia Family.
"If that person dares to come, we will have the patriarch leave seclusion," another Immortal King from the Jin Family suggested.
Unlike the Ancient Jia Family, their patriarch, Immortal Emperor Jin Xingzhi, had not left the Lucida Immortal Land; he was merely in seclusion.
Jin Zongxiong snorted: "Stop talking about having the patriarch come out of seclusion for every little thing. How many years has the patriarch been stuck at the early stage of the Immortal Emperor? How will he make progress if he has to come out of seclusion often?"
He then looked at a young Immortal King: "Yue Mang, you've seen this person. Tell us what you observed."
Jin Yuezhu stood up and said solemnly:
"He doesn't seem very old. I'm not sure if his cultivation has reached the level of an Immortal King. But he killed Jia Zhong and Jia Jian with great ease.
I don't think he's in the realm of an Immortal Emperor. I suspect that the cultivation he revealed was not even at the level of an Immortal King.
He should be an Immortal King, perhaps even at the peak of Immortal King."
Jin Zongxiong nodded:
"It's likely he is at the peak Immortal King stage. His fire is particularly terrifying. According to my information, his fire may be a Law Flame.
Once contaminated by this flame, it cannot be extinguished. He used it to destroy the Heavenly Ancient Trading Building and the entire Ancient Jia Family."
