Chapter 125 Sibling Rivalry
Hearing Huang Qiu's attempt to evade responsibility, Ling Xuzi frowned immediately.
"Your Excellency should know that the Heavenly Tribulation is becoming increasingly severe. Our elders are only at the Nascent Soul stage and still outside. The situation is urgent, and it may be too late to go to the grotto-heavens to invite those seniors who often go into seclusion for decades or even hundreds of years."
Huang Qiu feigned difficulty: "Isn't our clan in the same situation now? When my master Yuan Du last emerged from seclusion, he only accepted one disciple before announcing another thirty years of seclusion. The other senior, Jade Dragon, has long since disappeared. Our clan is special; we currently have no Void Refinement cultivators left. With only a few of us Nascent Soul cultivators appearing, how could Kong Yun possibly take us seriously?"
Xiao Yuxian and Ling Xuzi exchanged a glance, understood each other's thoughts, and then got up to take their leave.
"I never imagined that Your Excellency would be so afraid of the Heavenly Hou clan, not even daring to help your own kind. They say the Dragon Clan is united, but it seems they're not all that great after all! Since Your Excellency is unwilling to intervene, then let's drop this matter! Farewell!"
Huang Qiu was not angered at all by the sarcastic remark he had just made.
Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, Huang Qiu sneered, "You begged me to save someone but dare not reveal the truth? Chi Jinxian's daughter will soon be delivered into my hands; you needn't trouble yourselves!"
Not long after Xiao Yuxian and Ling Xuzi left, Xiao Yuxian's expression changed.
"No! There's something wrong with that Venerable Yellow Dragon!"
Ling Xuzi turned his head, puzzled: "What's the problem?"
"He was too calm, and that's the biggest problem! Do you remember how others reacted after we spread the word?"
"At first, everyone was quite indignant, saying they wanted to wipe out the Tianhou clan, but..."
"But it fizzled out after a few days, right?"
"Hiss~ This certainly doesn't fit the current dynamic between the Dragon Clan and the Sky Hou Clan!"
After exchanging a glance, the two men said in unison, "Huang Qiu suppressed the news!"
Xiao Yuxian recalled that he had previously cast a divination to predict the fortune of Chi Mianxi, and found that it was related to Qixian Island. He thought he could ask Long Qian of Qixian Island for help.
Now it seems that the misfortune has indeed befallen Huang Qiu!
Xiao Yuxian said with absolute certainty, "There's something wrong with this yellow dragon!"
"You think they're colluding with the Tianhou clan? That's unlikely. The two clans have a long-standing feud, and Huang Qiu is about to leap over the Dragon Gate. It wouldn't have any reason to collude with the Tianhou."
Ling Xuzi found it hard to believe.
Xiao Yuxian sneered, "What if it concerns a great opportunity? The Tianhou clan came to Jiangzhou to find Fellow Daoist Chi before, saying they had a great opportunity to offer. I initially thought it was just a ruse to deceive her, but now, judging from Huang Qiu's behavior, it might not be a lie!"
After speaking, Xiao Yuxian's tone turned somber: "This matter is likely to be difficult! However, I previously calculated that we would be safe within six months, so we still have plenty of time. At worst, I can go back and ask an elder from my sect for help!"
"You want to ask a senior from the sect? But judging from Kong Yun's attitude, one Void Refinement cultivator might not be enough to suppress that beast. If you ask two, isn't the price too high?"
In this world, tribulations of lightning and demons are unusually active. Once you reach the Void Refinement stage, calamities don't just occur during the breakthrough; they can occur at any time.
The two Void Refinement cultivators joined forces to fight another Void Refinement cultivator, and they practically shouted to the heavens: "Come on, take me down! Take me down quickly!"
This is also why the Tianhou clan has survived to this day despite the fact that the Dragon Clan has two major tribulations and three major Void Refinement stages.
The only fighting is at the level of Nascent Soul or below.
Of course, if a Void Refiner is fighting against a Nascent Soul Transformation cultivator or a Nascent Soul cultivator, then it is indeed possible to deal with the situation cleanly before the Heavenly Tribulation can react.
But that would break the rules; if you can do it on the first day of the month, others can do it on the fifteenth.
Xiao Yuxian's eyes hardened even more upon hearing Ling Xuzi's words.
Everything I've done is for the sake of the new path. If I can use this as leverage, I might be able to persuade the senior members of the sect to join me.
If the master refuses to accept them, I can just become a disciple myself first and then go and take them as my own!
Given their fear of death, they probably wouldn't mind joining the anti-heavenly forces.
Xiao Yuxian finally made up his mind to ask his elders in the sect for help.
the other side
"Kong Lin! You're insane!"
Kong Delin looked at his third sister with disbelief.
Just now, my third sister actually put a dissolving agent in my tea!
Kong Lin looked at her elder brother with a mixture of satisfaction and hatred in her eyes.
"Brother! You've already ruined me once! I can't let my daughter be ruined by you again! My daughter and I owe you nothing!"
"Was I doing this for myself? I was doing it for our Tianhou clan! If I had been a woman back then, I would have taken the plunge myself! I just regret that I wasn't! I didn't want to hurt you either! But I had no choice!"
"There are other women in the clan, why does it have to be me!"
"I am the clan chief! You are the clan chief's sister! We were born to sacrifice ourselves for our people!"
"What does my ethnicity have to do with me? Why does it have to be me? You know perfectly well that I'm already..."
...
Temporarily freed, Chi Mianxi stared in disbelief at the scene of siblings fighting amongst themselves.
After venting her emotions, Kong Lin stopped looking at her older brother and turned to Chi Mianxi instead.
She tossed out an access token and coldly looked at Chi Mianxi: "I've already lifted your restrictions. Aren't you leaving yet? Are you waiting for me to ask you to leave?"
Kong Lin's tone was as cold as ice, which made Chi Mianxi shiver.
After realizing what was happening, Chi Mian glanced at her mother for a moment before activating her access token and disappearing instantly.
Kong Delin looked at Chi Mianxi, who had already escaped, and remembered the agreement he had reached with Huang Qiu. He was instantly enraged and spat out a mouthful of black blood.
"Kong Lin! You are a sinner of my Tianhou clan!"
Kong Lin laughed bitterly: "Hahahaha, a sinner? A sinner? If it weren't for me, my clan would have been wiped out five hundred years ago. You call me a sinner? Were we born lowly? Were we meant to be treated like objects to be disposed of by you?"
Kong Delin said coldly, "Further words are useless! Uncle Yun! Let's do it!"
Kong Lin was startled when she heard the name Uncle Yun.
Unfortunately, before she could react, it was put into a small bottle.
After taking Kong Lin in, a figure slowly appeared; it was Kong Yun.
"Delin, how are you?"
"He's been poisoned by the Dissolving Power Powder, so he probably won't be able to use his magic for a few days."
Kong Yun reached out and checked, then breathed a sigh of relief: "Xiao Lin is quite sensible; the amount she took won't harm your health."
Kong Delin shook his head: "Now is not the time to talk about these things. I can't use my magic right now, and the second brother is still in seclusion. This time, I'll have to trouble Uncle Yun to bring that girl back."
"Leave it to me. By the way, Xiaolin, what are you planning to do?"
Kong Delin's expression changed several times, and finally he could only sigh: "Let's lock her up in the Dragon Subduing Cave. After all, she's my own sister."
Kong Yun nodded, left a bottle of pills, and then turned and left.
...
the other side
Having escaped the clutches of the Tianhou clan, Chi Mianxi, upon leaving their territory, decisively plunged into the East China Sea.
She planned to escape to Seven Fairy Island first, where Long Qian was. Although she still disliked him, as Chen Chunan's friend, he shouldn't abandon her in her time of need.
Once she arrived at Seven Fairy Island, with the protection of the Dragon Clan, she refused to believe that her heartless maternal uncle would dare to capture her.
Oh right, I also need to send a message to Chen Chunan, so he won't be foolish enough to go to the Tianhou clan's location to rescue me again.
