Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 532 - 525: Jin Family’s Ancestor Emerges From Seclusion
Ding Huan did not enter the Ancient Jia Family; instead, from the outside, he set the entire Ancient Jia Family ablaze.
With Ding Huan's action, not many dared to get close and watch, or even to sweep their Divine Will over.
In the eyes of onlookers, this was the Ancient Jia Family's enemy acting against them.
Once the Ancient Jia Family killed Ding Huan, any cultivators watching would surely meet a dead end.
Because aside from Chi Feitao, Ding Huan did not leave anyone alive.
So no one knew that Ding Huan's true trump card for destroying the Ancient Jia Family was not the Law Flame but the Bone Devouring Poison.
"Yue Mang, did you not greet such a powerful figure when you were leaving?" Another elder looked at Jin Yuezhu and asked.
Jin Yuezhu's face turned somewhat unsightly: "When I greeted him, he only said one word to me."
"What word?"
"Scram!"
Upon hearing the word 'scram,' everyone's face in the Jin Family's Council Hall turned grim.
The Jin Immortal Clan is not to be disrespected, always having been respected.
Always, it was only the disciples of the Jin Immortal Clan who told others to 'scram.' When had anyone ever dared to say it to their Immortal King?
Due to anger, the Council Hall of the Jin Immortal Clan fell silent, and no one dared to speak for a moment.
If it were someone else, or before the destruction of the Ancient Jia Family, the Jin Immortal Clan wouldn't have waited for Ding Huan; they would have killed him already.
Jin Zongxiong, the Family Head of the Jin Immortal Clan, convened this family meeting with the intention of instructing the clan's disciples not to be too ostentatious outside and to act low-key.
Even he couldn't suppress his raging anger at this moment.
As the patriarch once said, a family that abandons even its basic dignity will not last long.
Jin Yuezhu, being an Immortal King of the Jin Family, represented the face and dignity of the Jin Immortal Clan while outside.
Moreover, when Jin Yuezhu took the initiative to greet the other party, he was brushed off with a simple 'scram,' thoroughly trampling the face of the Jin Immortal Clan.
If there were no outsiders, it might have been bearable, but all the people from Wanjie Commerce witnessed it, which made it difficult for the Jin Immortal Clan to hold their heads high in the future.
What they didn't know was that even Qi Ning from Wanjie Commerce, after answering Ding Huan's question, was also told to scram by Ding Huan.
But Qi Ning simply left and later went to the Xuan Huang Immortal Sect to make ties with Cang Di, as if the word 'scram' meant nothing to her.
"Call the patriarch out. Jin Beiyi, immediately investigate the origin of this person, and what he came here for, and where he is now."
Jin Zongxiong made the decision without hesitation.
The Ancient Jia Family fell mainly because its strongest figure, Jia Buqin, was not around.
The Lu Xing Immortal Land is rather chaotic; the strongest in the Ancient Jia Family, Jia Buqin, was a Late Stage Immortal Emperor, while the others barely reached the level of a Late Stage Immortal King.
As for the Immortal Emperor, over the years, the Ancient Jia Family only produced Jia Buqin.
Similarly, the Jin Immortal Clan, apart from their elder Jin Xingzhi, who is an Early Stage Immortal Emperor, the strongest among the others is just at the Late Stage Immortal King.
Just as Jin Beiyi was about to leave, a disciple reported from outside: "The Palace Master Chi Feiyan of Yihai Palace has come to visit."
Yihai Palace?
Jin Zongxiong was somewhat surprised; he had never heard of this Immortal Sect.
His Divine Will swept outside, quickly spotting Chi Feitao standing outside.
Judging by Chi Feitao's imposing presence, he seemed to be at least a peak Immortal King, with a powerful aura surrounding him, indicating a top-tier Immortal King.
"Invite Master Chi in. Yue Mang, go invite the patriarch and inform him about everything." Jin Zongxiong made up his mind swiftly.
The Ancient Jia Family was wiped out because Jia Buqin, the Immortal Emperor, was not at home.
Regardless of whether this misfortune would befall the Jin Immortal Clan, the patriarch of the Jin Clan had to emerge and take charge.
If the Jin Immortal Clan handled this well, they might replace the Ancient Jia Family as the top Immortal Clan of Lu Xing Immortal Land.
When Jia Buqin returns, they would have a reasonable explanation to offer.
Otherwise, if Jia Buqin found out that the Jin Immortal Clan befriended those who destroyed the Ancient Jia Family, even Jia Buqin could annihilate the Jin Immortal Clan.
After Jin Yuezhu left, Chi Feitao followed him into the Council Hall of the Jin Immortal Clan.
Jin Zongxiong stood up politely and bowed, "Jin Zongxiong of the Jin Immortal Clan greets Daoist Friend."
Chi Feitao also bowed and said, "I come from Yihai Palace in Pangu Great World, and I have a request."
Upon hearing that Chi Feitao was from Pangu Great World, not only Jin Zongxiong but also the others from the Jin Clan appeared significantly more enthusiastic.
Chi Feitao was quite satisfied with their reaction.
He deliberately did not present his Great Immortal Governor's post, wanting to see if he could obtain the Direction Crystal Ball as a Sect Master from Pangu Great World without relying on the title of Great Immortal Governor.
"So, it's Master Chi. Please feel free to ask if Master Chi needs anything, and we will not reject any request we can fulfill." Jin Zongxiong laughed heartily, his tone exceedingly polite.
Chi Feitao knew Jia Buqin because Chi Feitao's master and Jia Buqin were considered friends; over time, Chi Feitao and Jia Buqin became friends too.
Of course, apart from Chi Feitao being the Immortal Sect Master from Pangu Great World, the more important reason is that Chi Feitou's master is also an Immortal Emperor.
As for Jin Xingzhi from the Jin Family, he had never met Chi Feitao.
Therefore, Chi Feitao received a proper reception as an Immortal Sect Master at the Ancient Jia Family, but here at the Jin Immortal Clan, it was merely formal politeness.
"It's like this, as I inadvertently left Pangu Great World, when I tried to return, I couldn't find the Void Position of Pangu Great World."
"So, I came to the Jin Immortal Clan to request a Direction Crystal Ball for Pangu Great World, and to visit you as well."
Chi Feitao spoke respectfully and took out a Jade Box filled with gifts.
Upon hearing Chi Feitao's request, Jin Zongxiong fell silent.
To acquire a Direction Crystal Ball for Pangu Great World from the Jin Immortal Clan, that was unrealistic.
Such an item, not to mention a low-level Immortal King like Chi Feitao, even someone with greater backing multiple times over wouldn't stand a chance.
The Direction Crystal Ball for Pangu Great World was the Jin Immortal Clan's reliance and the place where they could achieve Immortal Emperor status in the future.
How could such an item be given to anyone lightly?
If Lu Xing Immortal Land were filled with Immortal Emperors, how would the Jin Immortal Clan rule over it?
"Master Chi, the Direction Crystal Ball for Pangu Great World has always been under the control of our patriarch. Why not rest for a while, and we will report to the patriarch for you?"
Jin Zongxiong thought Chi Feitao was being unrealistic, but still maintained a façade of politeness.
It was a sensitive time, with the Ancient Jia Family just being destroyed, so the Jin Immortal Clan should avoid making new enemies.
"Naturally." Chi Feitao felt slightly displeased.
In the eyes of the Jin Family, the Direction Crystal Ball for Pangu Great World seemed invaluable, yet to him, it was nothing.
Pangu Great World, he had lived for over a million years. What was so special about it?
"Someone, bring out the best Immortal Spirit Tea and Immortal Spirit Fruit." Jin Zongxiong heaved a sigh of relief and ordered loudly.
Before the patriarch came out, he did not want to make any decisions.
...
Jin Xingzhi was quite displeased; once again, he was woken from closed-door cultivation by these unfilial descendants.
He decided that after this, he would no longer cultivate at home.
"What's the matter?" Jin Xingzhi stared coldly at Jin Yuezhu before him.
He was familiar with this junior; Jin Yuezhu had potential and he planned to take him to Pangu Great World for Immortal Emperor level in the future.
Jin Yuezhu knelt respectfully: "Patriarch, the Ancient Jia Family has been destroyed."
"What?" Jin Xingzhi immediately frowned.
The Ancient Jia Family had Jia Buqin; who would dare to act against them?
"Just a few days ago, a young man used Law Flame…"
Jin Yuezhu explained every detail meticulously.
After listening, Jin Xingzhi didn't speak for a moment; he was deep in thought about the Law Flame.
After a while, he asked, "The Ancient Jia Family was destroyed, and Jia Buqin didn't return?"
"Yes." Jin Yuezhu replied, pausing to add:
"We were about to discuss how to handle it, but then someone arrived, claiming to be an Immortal Sect Master from Pangu Great World, requesting a Direction Crystal Ball for Pangu Great World."
"Ha ha…"
Jin Xingzhi chuckled, breaking the closed-door restriction: "I want to see what kind of confidence this Immortal Sect Master from Pangu Great World has to ask my Jin Immortal Clan for a Direction Ball."
"Yes." Jin Yuezhu quickly led the way.
Leaving the cave mansion, Jin Xingzhi suddenly recalled something and asked casually: "What is the cultivation level of the young man who destroyed the Ancient Jia Family using Law Flame?"
Jin Yuezhu hesitated and said:
"At first glance, he appears to be a Luo Tian Immortal. However, his strength is likely far beyond that; I witnessed him effortlessly kill Jia Zhong and Jia Jian, displaying extraordinary prowess. I approached to greet him intending to forge a good relationship, but he told me to scram.
But I am sure he is not an Immortal Emperor; the Family Head and the elders estimated he should be at the peak or perfected stage of the Immortal King."
Jin Xingzhi's eyes turned icy: "You greeted him politely, and he told you to scram?"
"Yes."
"Very good."
Jin Xingzhi simply uttered two words; let's see if you have the teeth to chew on the dignity of my Jin Immortal Clan.
...
Chi Feitao was sipping Immortal Spirit Tea, chatting idly, feeling bored.
He had thought this would be a trivial matter and didn't expect the Jin Immortal Clan to be so evasive.
"Patriarch…" The respectful greeting of the elder leader by everyone in the Council Hall shook Chi Feitao from his thoughts.
He quickly stood up and bowed with an immortal salute: "Chi Feitao of Yihai Palace greets Daoist Friend Jin."
Jin Xingzhi is an Immortal Emperor, while Chi Feitao is at the peak of Immortal King.
Technically, Chi Feitao should address Jin Xingzhi as "senior."
However, as a Sect Master, calling Jin Xingzhi "Daoist Friend" was not inappropriate.
Jin Xingzhi scrutinized Chi Feitao for a while, then coldly said, "What makes you say you're from Pangu Great World?"
