Yuan Hong generally doesn't get involved in affairs; most matters concerning the Yuan family are decided jointly by the family head and elders.
However, the matter of waging war against the Black Fiend Immortal Palace is of great importance, and Yuan Guangxu felt it necessary to inform Ancestor Yuan Hong.
Yuan Hong frowned slightly upon hearing the report.
"The people from the Black Fiend Immortal Palace are indeed suspected; they can indeed act silently."
Have you sent someone to negotiate with them? What did they say?
Yuan Guangxu said helplessly, "I asked them, and they flatly denied it, saying they didn't do it."
Yuan Hong paused for a moment, "Let's put this matter aside for now. We can't rule out the possibility that someone has ulterior motives and is trying to sow discord between us."
Yuan Guangxu smiled bitterly, "Ancestor, I'm afraid we can't suppress it. Most of the disciples in the clan believe that it was done by the Black Fiend Immortal Palace. They wish they could have a big fight with them."
Yuan Hong frowned even more deeply, and after a long while, he sighed softly.
"Well, the Black Fiend Immortal Palace will have to be dealt with sooner or later. Regardless of whether they were responsible for this incident, let's prepare for battle as soon as possible."
Although our Yuan family is powerful, we should not make our clansmen make unnecessary sacrifices.
The Black Fiend Immortal Palace has offended many people over the years. We can unite with other forces, large and small, to repeat what happened back then and strive to wipe them out this time.
You should personally visit the Yan family to seek their cooperation and agree on a post-war distribution plan.
Let's go to the merchant's office too. Even though the chances are slim, it's worth a try.
As Yuan Guangxu listened to Yuan Hong's arrangements, he was completely convinced. The old fox was indeed shrewd; if everything went smoothly, the Yuan family's losses would be minimized.
He calmed his enraged clansmen and decided to make all the necessary preparations before taking action.
...
Black Fiend Immortal Palace.
The Second Lord, Kurosaki, learned of the recent events and narrowed his eyes.
"So many people from the Yuan family have died, and they were all very important people. I'm pretty sure it wasn't our people who did it, but the Yuan family wouldn't think that way."
The targeting and purpose are too strong; this blame will likely fall on our Immortal Palace.
I wonder who has the courage to risk offending both of our families to do such a thing.
That's good. I've wanted to take action against the Yuan family for a long time, but my elder brother has always refused.
This presents an opportunity; let's wait and see how things develop.
If the Yuan family really wants to fight, that suits me perfectly. This time, even my elder brother can't stop them.
Don't let me find out who you are. If you dare to use our Immortal Palace, I'll make sure you suffer a terrible fate.
Yuanhong, I hope you won't let me down.
...
Qin Feng's hard work during this period has yielded considerable results, killing dozens of members of the Yuan family, including nearly twenty True Immortals.
He achieved his goal and had enough resources for cultivation; it was truly killing two birds with one stone.
After doing all this, he planned to take it slow and let things ferment, as he understood the principle of moderation.
This made the Yuan family feel that the Black Fiend Immortal Palace was testing their bottom line.
He took Ao Ling to find a place to hide and cultivate for a while before making any further moves.
He gave a small portion of the immortal crystals to Ao Ling.
Since arriving in the Immortal Realm, Ao Ling has thrived like a fish in water, her cultivation level has risen rapidly, and she is already not far from becoming a Xuanxian (a high-level immortal).
She obediently accepted the immortal crystal and went to find a place to cultivate, confident that she could break through to the Xuanxian realm.
Qin Feng then took out a large amount of immortal crystals and spread them around him. He had been running around a lot during this period and had gained a lot, but his cultivation had fallen a bit, so he needed to make up for it.
The immortal crystals surrounding the two of them quickly turned into useless stone powder as they circulated their cultivation techniques, releasing a misty immortal aura from them.
The wisps of smoke quickly drew them in, entering their bodies as the energy flowed.
The immortal crystals were collapsing at an increasingly rapid pace, and the wisps of immortal energy were whipped into a storm that poured into the two of them.
Qin Feng's cultivation level was improving little by little at an astonishing speed, as if there were no bottlenecks, and the realm of Celestial Immortal was no longer far away.
Ao Ling was not to be outdone; her cultivation level quickly reached the peak of the Emperor Realm, and she had already touched the threshold of the Profound Immortal Realm.
Her eyes were closed, and she was immersed in a state of selfless cultivation.
Suddenly, a sound came from within her, a sound that was quite mysterious.
It seemed so large that it made her body tremble, yet it also seemed so small that only she could hear it.
This seemed to unlock some kind of shackles for her, making her mind clear and giving her a refreshed feeling.
Her aura suddenly broke through the Great Emperor Realm and entered the Profound Immortal Realm, along with all her past memories.
Ao Ling's eyes remained closed, and her mind was filled with images of her past.
These things felt as if she had experienced them herself.
Many of her memories were of her time with Qin Feng, and now she understands why she felt so close to him and so dependent on him when she first saw him.
There was a reason for all of this. They had a deep bond in their previous life. Although she had no memory of it, her intuition guided her.
In their previous life, they spent a long time together. She had followed Qin Feng since she was a little dragon, and the two were like family.
Like Qin Feng, she couldn't see the faces of her enemies in the fragments of her previous life before her reincarnation.
Before she could savor the moment any longer, a clap of thunder from the sky interrupted her.
Her tribulation to become a Mystic Immortal is about to begin.
Ao Ling slowly opened her eyes and found the world somewhat dark. She did not look up at the sky immediately, but instead looked towards where Qin Feng was.
Qin Feng had stopped cultivating at some point and was looking at her with concern. Noticing that her gaze was somewhat different from usual, he gave her a bright smile.
Looking at his infectious smile, Ao Ling felt inexplicably at ease. Recalling the past, two crystal tears slid down her pink cheeks from the corners of her eyes.
Hearing the rumbling sound, she temporarily composed herself and looked up at the dark, gloomy sky.
Such a comfortable environment couldn't make anyone happy, but Ao Ling couldn't help but smile, a slight smile always on her lips.
The past life is gone, but the present life continues. Isn't it a joyful thing to have a connection across two lifetimes?
Heavenly lightning shows no mercy to those who seek the Dao, nor does it try to guess what people are thinking. It only strikes when it is time to strike, orderly and merciless.
Boom!
Silver lightning bolts danced wildly, tearing through the gloomy sky, falling from the high heavens and rushing towards Ao Ling.
Its figure flickered and leaped, as fast as teleportation.
Ao Ling watched the tribulation lightning fall silently, without making a move, as if she were stunned.
In an instant, the lightning serpent shattered and struck Ao Ling fiercely.
Ao Ling remained silent and endured it all.
This fierce bolt of lightning did not pose much of a threat to her.
She simply revealed her true form so that the tribulation lightning could properly temper her dragon body.
Qin Feng didn't try to participate in the lightning tribulation this time; he simply watched her quietly from the sidelines.
Ao Ling's Xuanxian lightning tribulation went very smoothly and she passed it perfectly, and is now absorbing the rewards from heaven and earth.
Seeing that she was alright, Qin Feng resumed his cultivation.
Now is not the time to be idle. He should break through to the Celestial Immortal Realm as soon as possible and then carry out the next step of his plan.
He killed members of the Yuan family before, so it should be the Black Fiend Immortal Palace's turn next.
They are all his enemies; showing favoritism is wrong.
