Before long, the master and his disciples arrived at the ancestral temple under the guidance of the imperial guards.

As expected, the life tablets of all members of the royal family were placed on the stand.

However, almost all of them had been shattered into powder, with only one piece in the corner remaining intact.

"Go."

Seeing this, the group nodded encouragingly to Ji Fanya.

"Um."

Ji Fanya clenched his fist, took a deep breath, and slowly walked over.

That fate tablet felt smooth and soft to the touch, with a faint warmth.

The nameplate, carved with orchid patterns, clearly reads: Princess Fenghe, Bei Qingling.

"Bei Qingling..."

Looking at the life tablet in his hand, Ji Fanya gently stroked it, his eyes welling up with tears.

So, his mother's name was Bei Qingling.

Finally, I know my mother's name.

The life tablet is still intact, which means that Mother is really alright, really alright.

After confirming that Madam Ji was unharmed, the master and his disciples exchanged glances and smiled with relief.

Although I haven't seen the person, as long as they are still alive, and cultivators have a longer lifespan than ordinary people, I believe that we will surely meet again someday.

After confirming that his mother was truly safe and sound, Ji Fanya finally felt relieved.

After that, Fan Qiyue instructed the palace servants to prepare a palace for the master and his disciples to stay in temporarily.

Because they held the State Seal of Bu Jiang, and these palace servants were all shrewd and knew how to act, they treated the men as if they were the ruler and served them very well.

As for the auction, after some discussion, everyone decided to hold it directly in the palace.

That afternoon, news of the auction registration was released.

There are countless kinds of auctions in the world, but auctioning off an entire country is absolutely unprecedented, and the whole imperial continent is shaken.

Although the people of the Eastern Yan Dynasty were all feeling miserable, the thought that the infamous "Black Martial Gang" was now living in the palace made them all dare not speak out and choose to remain silent.

As for why the masses didn't organize a resistance, well...

"The wrath of Heaven or Man can overthrow a dynasty"—this is absolutely no joke!

Although the country has changed hands, at least the country still exists; it's just a change of power. They can still live a good life.

But if they cause trouble for the "Black Warriors Gang," they can't guarantee the consequences.

Therefore, when gods fight, it's best for mortals to stay put and avoid getting involved.

That's how ordinary people think, but it's different for those with power and influence.

This was a great opportunity for them to enhance their strength. Therefore, soon, not only the top families of the Eastern Yan Dynasty, but also the sects in the vicinity and the royal families of neighboring countries sent people over.

Every dynasty's ruler has ambitions and naturally wouldn't mind expanding the territory further.

Jun Feijue and his group naturally didn't care about these things; all they wanted were resources.

Seven days passed quickly, and while everyone was still cultivating, a palace servant delivered a letter.

"Master, it's from the Western Zhou. They said the situation there has basically stabilized, and the new ruler wrote a letter to express his gratitude."

Fan Qiyue took the letter, opened it, glanced at it, and said, "It also said that if the women of the Ji family want to go back, they are very welcome, and the Ji family mansion will be returned. If they want a title or anything, that's no problem."

"They're at least somewhat sincere."

Upon hearing this, Ji Fanya thought for a moment before saying, "I'll ask them when we get back."
