Two elders of the Mink Clan, after all were Immortal Emperor Realm Experts. Even though they did not exert their full force when releasing pressure, ordinary Immortal King Realm Experts could not maintain their posture at all.

The Lightning Mink only retreated a few steps, which already surprised the two Mink Clan Leaders. That Fang Bai didn’t even move was even harder for them to believe, making them suspect that this three-tier Immortal King Realm Expert had true combat strength far from simple as it appeared.

However, their attention immediately focused on the Lightning Mink.

They already saw that the Lightning Mink was their kin, yet its aura seemed different from theirs. Especially upon seeing the Lightning Mink dressed in blazing silver attire, with silver gleams reflecting in its eyes, they suddenly became excited, their gaze toward the Lightning Mink hot and intense.

Just like the Immortals in the Immortal Realm, the talents and qualities of the Mink Clan offspring vary, and these differences determine the future achievements of the Mink Clan children.

Among Immortals, there exist innate Spiritual Roots, and the more roots, the better the talent and potential, the higher the future achievements.

In the Mink Clan, the color of the fur represents the quality of talent.

All members of the Mink Clan are born with white fur, and most remain this way throughout their lives. Such Mink Clan members are the most ordinary, akin to an Immortal in the Immortal Realm without innate Spiritual Roots.

However, some Mink Clan members with extraordinary bloodlines will see changes in their fur color during growth and cultivation level advancement, undergoing a transformation from white to grey, silver, and finally black.

It is said that the ancient Mink Clan Great Emperor bore black fur, and when they transformed into human shape, their fur became a black robe.

The two Mink Clan elders immediately recognized that the silvery robe the Lightning Mink wore was transformed from its fur.

The blazing silver robe and the cold, noble temperament made this Lightning Mink, with merely a tier-one Immortal King Realm cultivation level, evoke a desire in the two proud Mink Clan elders of the Immortal Emperor Realm to bow before him.

"Such a young Mink Clan kin with fur already evolved to silver; his bloodline must be extraordinary! His future achievements are incalculable!"

After examining the Lightning Mink for a while, the two Mink Clan elders exchanged a glance and gave this assessment.

Having seen the two elders of the Mink Clan staring fervently at him, the Lightning Mink, though emotionally stirred, maintained a cool appearance, his chin slightly raised with pride.

Fang Bai brought the Lightning Mink here to "acknowledge ancestors and return to the clan," expecting that things might not be smooth, even preparing to reveal his true identity and play the Mingxin Immortal King card to ensure the Mink Clan accepted the Lightning Mink.

However, seeing the two Mink Clan elders so excited, Fang Bai felt he had perhaps overdone it.

Fang Bai was now certain that as long as the Lightning Mink agreed, Mount Luohu’s Mink Clan would undoubtedly accept him and even focus on nurturing him.

In his past life, Fang Bai had dealt with strong Mink Clan members, learning much about the Mink Clan. Discovering the Lightning Mink’s fur had evolved several times, he understood it had an extraordinary bloodline, standing out within the Mink Clan.

The current Mink Clan had weakened, to the point of being bullied and slaughtered by three major Demon Clans. Every Mink Clan child hoped for the emergence of another Great Emperor level expert to lead the Mink Clan’s resurgence, to shine again.

The Lightning Mink, with extraordinary bloodlines, had unlimited potential for future achievements, precisely the hope of the Mink Clan, and the two elders realizing he could bear the expectations of the entire clan, couldn’t help but be excited and eager to recruit him.

Seeing the Lightning Mink’s prospect of merging with the Mink Clan, Fang Bai felt much relieved, then pretended dissatisfaction asking, "An old friend visits, why does Mingxin Immortal King not come out to greet? Perhaps upon advancing to Immortal Emperor Realm, he looks down upon past immortal friends?"

Both Mink Clan elders visibly darkened at Fang Bai’s mention of Mingxin Immortal King.

"This Immortal Friend’s timing is unfortunate..."

One Mink Clan elder sighed, saying, "Mingxin Immortal King advanced to Immortal Emperor Realm a millennium ago, becoming one of our clan’s four elders. But later, in a battle against the three major Demon Clans, he suffered serious injuries..."

The other elder’s fist clenched tightly, with two burning fires in his eyes.

"Indeed, he’s advanced to Immortal Emperor Realm... Oh, how is Elder Mingxin doing now?"

Although not close comrades, Fang Bai had known Mingxin Immortal King, and hearing of his severe injuries, asked with concern.

The speaking elder shook his head, saying, "Qi Sea destroyed, meridians completely severed, only a wisp of consciousness remains. We’ve placed a Soul-Stabilizing Bead on him to maintain his vital force unextinguished..."

Upon hearing "Soul-Stabilizing Bead," Fang Bai was slightly moved.

The Soul-Stabilizing Bead is an unparalleled treasure of the Immortal Realm; it’s rumored that only a few exist across the Immortal Realm, able to absorb Five Elements Immortal Qi and when placed on a dying Immortal, can sustain their life force indefinitely.

Judging by what the Mink Clan elder said, without the Soul-Stabilizing Bead, Elder Mingxin might have already fallen.

The former leader of the Mink Clan had long fallen, now the Mink Clan entirely relied on the support of four elders, so the loss of any elder would be a tremendous blow to the Mink Clan.

"For the sake of past acquaintance, I wish to see Elder Mingxin! I wonder if the two elders might make an exception?"

Fang Bai asked.

For the Lightning Mink’s sake, should there be hope for treating Elder Mingxin, Fang Bai would not hesitate to aid. Furthermore, among the Mink Clan, there were still a few Immortal Emperor Realm Experts overseeing, forming good ties with them could assist in his future vengeance against the eight Immortal Emperors.

"This..."

The two Mink Clan elders felt somewhat troubled. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Truthfully, considering Elder Mingxin’s tragic condition, they didn’t wish for any outsider to disturb him. But the person was already an acquaintance of Mingxin Clan Leader, refusing them a face-to-face meeting would seem overly unkind.

Additionally, the two Mink Clan elders saw clearly that the extraordinary Mink Clan bloodline kin standing by Fang Bai seemed willing to follow Fang Bai’s lead. If Fang Bai leaves in anger, what if he follows suit? What then?

"I’ll accompany him to see Elder Mingxin! He possesses profound abilities and may possibly heal Elder Mingxin!"

The Lightning Mink, who had maintained a cold demeanor without speaking, suddenly said.

The two Mink Clan elders pondered individually, exchanged glances, and finally nodded in agreement, though they overlooked the Lightning Mink’s last words.

What a joke, since Mingxin Clan Leader was severely injured, the other three elders of the Mink Clan successively went forth, visited experts across the Immortal Realm, sought countless Immortal Pills and elixirs, hoping to heal Elder Mingxin, but none worked, what could this tier-three Immortal King Realm Immortal do?

A moment later, inside a stone house halfway up Mount Luohu, Fang Bai and Lightning Mink met Elder Mingxin.
