Chapter 2629 Stop Being Insolent
The person from the Kong family who came was a middle-aged Nascent Soul cultivator, who also carried seven or eight Golden Core cultivators with him. He entered the house in a grand manner at dusk.
The man appeared quite calm, with a hint of pride in his eyes, but also a slight suspicion.
Clearly, Master Jiao had taught him a lesson, but it still seemed a bit uncertain.
When he entered the main hall, he glanced left and right, then looked at the charred remains on the main seat and frowned slightly.
After hesitating for a few seconds, he asked in a deep voice, with obvious uncertainty, "Ancestor Yi He?"
Yi He sent out his divine sense and asked calmly, "Isn't the Kong family composed of two Nascent Soul cultivators?"
The middle-aged man confirmed Yi He's presence and spoke in a deep voice, "Reporting to the Ancestor, Uncle Thirteen is currently in seclusion."
The Kong family wields considerable influence in the Remnant Realm, controlling one of the nineteen fourth-order spiritual veins, and boasting two Nascent Soul cultivators within their clan.
There was also a Nascent Soul protector who came from a rogue cultivator background and married the legitimate daughter of the Kong family.
Needless to say, the Kong family currently possesses the strength of three True Immortals, but only two of them are pure blood relatives with Nascent Soul status.
The middle-aged man was indeed intimidated by Daoist Jiao—after all, there were fewer than sixty Nascent Soul cultivators in the entire Remnant Realm.
The key point is that the ancestor of the Yi family has also returned, and it is said that he has at least two Nascent Soul cultivators with him.
This force was powerful enough to influence the entire world of remnants, so he had no choice but to come, and he also believed that the Yi family would not lie to him.
Yi He was too lazy to say more to him. "I called you here this time to look after the Kong family and settle the past grievances."
The middle-aged man nodded slightly. "I've already heard about it from this Fellow Daoist Jiao. May I ask how he intends to take care of me?"
“I have come here…without any intention of affecting the situation of the survivors,” Yi Hexian stated casually, setting the tone for the visit.
To be honest, he also found it rather boring.
Having witnessed the infinite wonders of the world, the conflicts in this small world seem utterly boring.
However, he couldn't ignore it, so he could only say indifferently, "Summon all four Nascent Soul cultivators of Murong and tell them to control their own dogs."
The Murong family rose to prominence after Yi He left, and currently has four blood relatives who are True Immortals.
Including protectors, worshippers, and in-laws, the Murong family can mobilize at most nearly ten Nascent Soul cultivators.
This already qualifies as one of the top 20% of the combat power in the world of remnants.
"Aren't you being a bit too arrogant?" The middle-aged man looked around and then noticed that two young people were drinking tea on one side of the room.
"Damn it..." He instantly understood; this was Yi He's true source of confidence.
To be able to deceive his senses, one must at least be a strong Nascent Soul cultivator—I wonder what the Yi family's ancestor has encountered over the past few thousand years.
"May I ask who these two fellow Daoists are?"
“You are not worthy to be called a fellow Daoist,” Yi He said indifferently. “I will not argue with you. Go and inform them immediately.”
This part is a bit pretentious, but in reality, in the small world, there's no need to get too involved in karma when leaving the body.
The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment before speaking, "But the Murong family... might not listen to me."
He also knew something about the relationship between the Murong family and the Wang family; in fact, it was the latter that forcibly attached itself to the former.
However, there are only nineteen fourth-order spiritual veins among the remnants, while there are nearly sixty Nascent Soul cultivators, making third-order spiritual veins an important resource.
If a force wants to dominate a region, it will naturally need many followers who run errands and cheer it on.
Therefore, the Wang family's forced purchase of this spiritual vein was at least approved by the Murong family, and there is a high probability that they were secretly pushing for it.
Under these circumstances, it would be virtually impossible to persuade the Murong family.
From the Kong family's perspective, did they really not want to help the three branches of the Yi family at all? Of course not.
For the Kong family, the Yi family was not powerful, but they were very convenient to use for some trivial or shady matters.
Moreover, the families in the Yi and Kong families have all heard of the connection between them.
If the Kong family doesn't step forward to help, there might be people gossiping behind their backs that they're afraid of the Murong family.
However, the Kong family preferred to bear this reputation rather than do anything about it. The key reason for this forbearance was that they couldn't win the fight.
Of course, if the Kong family were facing a life-or-death crisis, that would be another matter, but it's really not worth it for one branch of the Yi family.
It was precisely because of these considerations that even though Master Jiao came forward, the Kong family only sent one True Immortal to negotiate.
"The Murong family won't listen?" Jiao Tan trembled slightly again. "Then that's their own choice. We can't just punish them without teaching them."
“Yi He… Ancestor,” the middle-aged Nascent Soul cultivator took a deep breath and then slowly spoke, “Do you know anything about the Murong family, fellow Daoist?”
He even changed his title from "Ancestor" to "Fellow Daoist"!
He admitted that the other party did have some strength, but the Murong family was powerful and far more than just four Nascent Soul cultivators.
If the Murong family is willing, it is not difficult to gather seven or eight True Immortals.
What middle-aged people are most worried about is that when Yi He's team takes action, they will need the Kong family's help, which would be a huge problem!
"Fellow Daoist?" Although Yi He was also in decline, he could still sense this.
However, considering that Kunxiu had left him with four descendants, he decided not to hold it against her—mainly because he also found it boring.
"Tell them that they have five days. If they cannot come, the Murong family has no reason to exist... They were outsiders to begin with."
Do you know what you're saying? The middle-aged man was taken aback at first, then a bitter look appeared on his face: Is he out of his mind?
However, when his gaze swept over the two young men sitting there again, he was startled—I am not worthy to be called a fellow Daoist!
Then a look of realization dawned on his face, followed by a hint of surprise. He asked in a trembling voice, "May I ask who these two gentlemen are...?"
Yi He spoke calmly, "Don't be presumptuous in front of the Great Venerable. I'm already showing you respect by allowing you to stand."
"Great, Great, Great Venerable?" The middle-aged man slowly closed his eyes. "Ancestor, I'm a little confused. Please allow me to calm down."
A dozen or so breaths later, he opened his eyes, bowed respectfully to Qu Jianlei and Han Li, but didn't dare to say a word.
Then he looked at the one-eyed man and said with a wry smile, "Young man, why didn't you say so earlier? You made me feel rude."
"I dare say it!" The one-eyed man was quite calm, even showing a bit of amusement.
Because of this plea for help, the Kong family remained quite arrogant towards him, even though he was following Senior Jiao.
He spread his hands, looking completely innocent, and said, "As for the matter of the Great Venerable One, let alone me, even a True Immortal wouldn't dare to mention it."
"Alright," the middle-aged man said, not daring to argue. Although he was a Nascent Soul cultivator and the other party was only a Foundation Establishment cultivator, what could he do when Yi He returned?
He never imagined that not only would the Yi family patriarch return after four thousand years, but he would also bring two Grand Venerables with him!
Damn it, no one would believe this even if it were written in a storybook. What happened to the promised 2,000-year lifespan for a Nascent Soul cultivator?
He even had some doubts: were these two young men, who showed no sign of authority, impersonating the true venerable one?
However, he couldn't even sense the other party's aura, and the Yi family patriarch had declared that they could not be killed without being taught a lesson!
Thinking of this, he spoke respectfully, "Ancestor Yi He, I would like to invite Uncle Thirteen to pay a visit, is that alright?"
"Isn't he in seclusion? Hmph," Yi He snorted, "Forget it, it's the Yi family's descendants who are disappointing, it's not your fault, go quickly!"
The middle-aged man respectfully withdrew from the hall and disappeared in a flash.
This time, the Kong family's true immortal arrived even faster, in just three days, and they even entered under the cover of night.
The old immortal who came this time is actually not that old, only a little over 1,400 years old.
However, he had participated in many fierce battles and was said to be in poor health, so he rarely showed his face.
This person knows more about Master Kong and can even mention the true immortals of the Kong family from that era.
After talking with Yi He for about two or three minutes, he was basically certain that the other party was indeed the legendary founder of the Yi family.
The old immortal was very curious about how the other party had managed to hold on until now.
However, Yi He did not explain further, only stating that he had suffered a lot during that great battle.
We can only find topics to talk about when discussing "ancient people," and this kind of communication usually doesn't last long.
The key point is that Yi He had no intention of saying more to him—it had nothing to do with arrogance, but rather that he simply couldn't find that feeling anymore.
What the old immortal most wanted to know was, of course, the origins of the two True Venerables.
However, Yi He couldn't explain it too clearly. He just said that he was half-dead and it was normal for him to have some unexpected opportunities.
Most importantly, he stated that the True Venerables had no interest in this small realm—which should be the most pressing concern for cultivators in this realm.
His return this time is simply because the True Venerables want to fulfill their own wishes.
It sounded like he was nearing the end of his life, but that wasn't what the two True Immortals of the Kong family were concerned about.
Most importantly, these two True Venerables were actually there to escort Ancestor Yi He to the Lesser Realm.
To use a metaphor that they could understand best, two Nascent Soul True Immortals escorting the remnant soul of a Golden Core cultivator back home—what does this represent?
This shows that the relationship between the Yi family's ancestor and these two great figures was exceptionally good.
Or perhaps it might involve some treasures... but I dare not think about that too much.
As for how long the Yi family's ancestor could live in this state, that's something I dare not even ask.
The three of them talked for about ten minutes, and then they ran out of things to say.
At this moment, the two True Immortals of the Kong family were extremely annoyed. If they had known this would happen, they should have studied the life of True Immortal Kong more thoroughly back then.
Then Yi He said that he was a little tired and asked the two of them to go to the Murong family and convey his message.
"Remember, five days. No exceptions. What a fuss it is for you Great Venerables."
Two days later, a major news broke in the community of relictment.
The two True Immortals from the Kong family rushed to the Murong family to inform them that the Yi family's ancestor had returned and asked them to pay him a visit!
There were only two True Immortals at the Murong family home, and not far away, there was another True Immortal serving as an attendant.
The Three Immortals found this request rather absurd.
If they weren't very familiar with the Kong family's ways, and if it weren't for the fact that two blood relatives had both reached the Nascent Soul stage, they would definitely think the other party was crazy.
The Kong family's foundation among the remnants is indeed very deep, while the Murong family is far inferior. However, in terms of current strength, the order is reversed.
The second elder of the Murong family flatly rejected this request, deeming it extremely unreasonable.
