Chapter 2631 The True Venerable Makes a Move
The Yi family's hall was quite spacious, but not much furnishing; it was just the usual items for entertaining guests, with perhaps a screen added in a corner.
This time, however, all the items meant for entertaining guests were removed, and a jade platform was added to the center of the room.
The platform wasn't very high, only about half a meter high, and there were two chairs, with a young man sitting on each side.
Between the two chairs was a small tea table with tea and fruit on it.
In front of the platform is an incense table, and on the black tray on the table is a honeycomb-shaped stone about the size of a human head.
The incense table is secondary; the key is the high platform, which gives people a clear sense of superiority.
Half a meter is indeed not high; let alone a true immortal, even a young child could climb it. However, the flavor it contains is extraordinary.
The two young men did not react at all to the group of people who entered.
One was leisurely sipping tea, while the other had droopy eyelids, seemingly lost in thought.
Subconsciously, the three non-celestial beings released their senses—not divine sense, but pure perception.
Using one's divine sense to scan outsiders is impolite, not to mention the behavior of these two, which clearly indicates they are not normal people.
In just a moment, the three sensed that the two seemed to have no aura at all.
Two True Immortals from the Kong family stepped forward, first bowing to the stone, "Greetings to the Ancestor of the Yi Family."
Then the two bowed respectfully towards the platform, saying, "Greetings, Your Excellencies!"
"Great... Venerable?" The faces of the two True Immortals from the Murong family turned deathly pale in an instant, and their legs trembled slightly.
At this moment, there is no need to say anything more; all the questions and doubts have been answered.
The Yi family ancestor has returned, bringing with him two Nascent Soul True Venerables!
No wonder they don't even bother with the Wang family. There's only one reason—a Golden Core family is not worthy!
The True Immortal of the Cui family was stunned for a moment, and his face turned deathly pale.
Then he took a deep breath, slowly cupped his hands, and bowed very low, "Greetings to the two great venerable ones, this humble cultivator... has a favor to report."
“It’s none of your business,” the young man with droopy eyelids finally raised them slightly and reached for his teacup.
Then he casually added, "Fellow Daoist Yi He, you handle this."
The arrangement of the hall was insisted upon by Yi Wentian; he wanted to highlight the status of the Grand Venerable no matter what.
Qu Jianlei and Han Li disliked this kind of pretentious talk, but in any case, it was ultimately a small cultivator's heartfelt wish.
So they just set up a platform anywhere, as long as it showed their identity.
Now that Qu Jianlei has spoken, addressing Yi He, who is at the Nascent Soul stage, as "fellow Daoist" despite being a Nascent Soul cultivator, his intentions are self-evident.
A surge of divine sense emanated from the coke, "Fellow Daoist Kong, no need for such formalities. Murong family, why are there only two of you?"
“It’s one,” another Venerable One sipped his tea, “the other only exudes the aura of marital bliss.”
Upon hearing this, the two True Immortals from the Murong family trembled like leaves. This was the terror of a True Venerable.
He even sensed the private matters between the worshipper and the Murong family's female cultivator instantly?
The blood relative's nascent soul took a deep breath before forcing himself to speak, his voice trembling, "Great Venerable One, please hear me..."
"Hmm?" Han Li glanced at him coldly. "You think you're worthy to speak to me?"
"I was wrong," Murong Zhenxian took another deep breath, then bowed to the stone, "I'd like to pay my respects to the Yi family's ancestor the day after tomorrow!"
At that moment, his waist was bent extremely low.
"Stop with the nonsense," Yi He said impatiently. "Didn't the two fellow Daoists from the Kong family pass on the message?"
"We dare not!" the two True Immortals from the Kong family said in unison, "We have conveyed the truth, and we beg the Ancestor to investigate."
The stone remained silent, and the room was completely still.
“Ancestor, please let me explain,” Murong Zhenxian said, forcing a smile. “The news has already spread, but unfortunately, the clan’s true immortals…”
"Do you know the consequences of deceiving the Great Venerable?" Yi He interrupted him directly.
Upon hearing this, Murong Zhenxian froze in shock. He had originally intended to make an excuse, claiming that the Nascent Soul cultivators in his clan had gone out.
As a result, the words of the Yi family ancestor told him: You are not only talking to me, please look up and see that there are two True Venerables on the stage!
"Hehe," Yi He chuckled twice, "A Nascent Soul cultivator isn't in the clan, and your Second Elder isn't here either?"
Murong Zhenxian paused for a few moments, then forced himself to speak, "The Second Elder needs to contact and urge the other Nascent Soul cultivators."
“That guy actually came,” Qu Jianlei snorted, and a phantom image flashed out from his body.
The next moment, a figure was slammed to the ground and couldn't move. Who else could it be but the Second Elder of the Murong family?
The five True Immortals were all shocked by what they saw. They had long heard that the True Venerable could roam the world with a thought, but they never imagined that he was so powerful.
“Approaching without entering,” the stone continued to emanate its divine sense, “its heart is wicked.”
"Let me explain!" The Second Elder sensed the room and hurriedly shouted.
He wasn't under any restrictions, but suddenly his body stiffened, and when he came to his senses, he had already been taken into the Yi family.
He wasn't entirely clear about the current situation, but there was no doubt that the two young men on the platform were extraordinary individuals.
So without saying a word, he began to defend himself, "It was the Wang family that plotted to seize the Yi family's spiritual vein; my Murong family had only heard about it."
This is where things get interesting. There's an old saying that even an upright official finds it hard to settle family disputes. This isn't a family dispute, but people will still have their own version of events.
The Second Elder was truly remarkable; he instantly grasped the situation and decisively set aside his arrogance to get to the heart of the matter.
Whenever there's a controversial issue, shouldn't we say something about it? He wanted to buy himself some time.
However, he was met with a cold snort in response, and the handsome True Venerable on the high platform spoke.
"Get this straight, I painstakingly cultivated to the point of being able to leave my body, not so that I could reason with a Nascent Soul cultivator!"
"Out of body... Great Venerable?" Even though the Second Elder had some guesses in his mind, he couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.
Upon hearing this, the other two True Immortals from the Murong family trembled even more violently.
The Cui family immortals were terrified and dared not even breathe: This was indeed the behavior of a true venerable, completely unreasonable!
"What a nuisance," Han Li said impatiently, and a phantom image split off from his body and shot away.
"I'll go and grab those guys. They dare to talk back... What a waste of time."
Qu Jianlei shook his head, "He's a Nascent Soul cultivator after all, yet he only knows how to use flattery and sophistry. Fellow Daoist Yi He, the atmosphere in the Remnant Realm is not good."
“It wasn’t like this before,” a divine sense fluctuation emanated from the stone again, “I’m sorry you had to see this.”
Yi He and Qu Jianlei have a long-standing friendship; Yi He was even referred to as a senior in the past, so there was no deliberate distance between them when addressing each other.
However, his use of the slang "you and me" to address the true master is a phrase that would truly terrify anyone who heard it.
The two True Immortals from the Kong family exchanged a glance, showing some surprise.
The second elder of the Murong family had just stood up from the ground when he heard this, but his legs went weak and he sat down again with a thud.
Han Li separated a figure and came outside. With a thought, a large hand suddenly reached out and grabbed something thousands of miles away.
The next moment, several figures were captured, slammed to the ground, and had their cultivation suppressed.
Among these people, there was a True Immortal, as well as Golden Core cultivators and Foundation Establishment cultivators, all of whom he captured.
Immediately afterward, Han Li looked in another direction, "Huh, going back and hiding in the great formation... will that work?"
It turns out that the last True Immortal of the Murong family has returned to the family, and remarkably, he has actually activated the great formation.
The grand formation wasn't just activated; it had been in place for some time, which shows that this family is quite cautious in their actions.
However, could a mere Nascent Soul level mountain-protecting formation withstand a strike from the Nascent Soul stage? A cold smile appeared on Han Li's lips.
"Wait a moment," Qu Jianlei's voice came, "Don't damage the spiritual vein."
“It’s no big deal… just a mere fourth-tier,” Han Li muttered. “But whatever, let’s give this realm some face.”
The next moment, the entire Murong family's residence was frozen solid by the immense cold air.
Immediately afterwards, a large hand appeared above the cold air, and with a flick of its finger, the protective shield of the great formation instantly collapsed.
"What's going on?" Tens of thousands of kilometers away, two True Immortals were traveling side by side when they suddenly felt that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth had become disordered.
Following their intuition, the two turned their heads to look, and were immediately dumbfounded. "That's...that's the Murong family?"
"This...this can't be the work of a True Immortal, can it?" another True Immortal exclaimed in horror. "Who invited this?"
Over the past thousand years, the Murong family has become increasingly prosperous and has frequently taken the initiative to attack, which has aroused a lot of resentment in the world of remnants.
It's not surprising that someone is now taking action to deal with it.
However, this move was far too ambitious—it directly broke the Murong family's great formation?
“The grand formation isn’t activated at its highest level,” one of the True Immortals analyzed. “It might not be a powerful being making a move… Shall we go and take a look?”
He wasn't there to provide assistance; he just wanted to go and watch the drama unfold.
"If you want to die, go ahead," another True Immortal flatly refused. "Even if you're not a great power, how much worse are you?"
Under normal circumstances, it is indeed impossible for the mountain-protecting formation to be activated at its highest level of defense.
However, the Murong family's formation has clearly improved its defensive level, far surpassing its usual daily strength.
This was clearly something the Murong family had anticipated, anticipating potential trouble, which is why they took this action.
Otherwise, not only would the consumption of spirit stones increase significantly, but the entire formation would also suffer some damage.
"This is... I heard the Kong family is targeting them?" The previous True Immortal said that he had heard some rumors recently.
The Yi family was basically ignored by the two of them; they were just a small Golden Core family.
Of the remaining immortals, nearly half have heard of this matter.
However, everyone who knew about it believed that the Kong family and the Murong family were about to clash.
"The Kong family's move... truly lives up to their reputation as a long-established family!"
But the next moment, the two of them were both startled again, "True...True Venerable?"
After the giant hand shattered the defensive array, it reached down, grabbed a person, and disappeared.
The two True Immortals, who had been paying attention earlier, vaguely sensed the identity of the person who had been captured. "Is it the Grand Elder?"
The eldest elder of the Murong family was extremely powerful, and he was hiding in his own protective formation, yet he was captured so easily.
Only a True Venerable could achieve this effect; even the strongest Nascent Soul cultivator probably couldn't.
