Ancestor Yiling is not dead, and is preparing to seek revenge on Immortal Sect.
This is the talk of the town in recent days, from the Immortal Sect to the common people. It's inevitable, after hundreds of years, such a founding ancestor has finally emerged. Anyone associated with the name "Wei Wuxian" always manages to stir up a storm.
Some say it couldn't possibly be Wei Wuxian, after all, he died under the watchful eyes of the public, devoured by a thousand vengeful spirits, not even leaving behind a bone fragment. But others argue that the Ancestor Yiling is capable of anything, even if he died once, who's to say he couldn't return to the mortal world!
Overnight, blood writings appeared in dozens of towns, but the common folk mostly treated it as a topic for idle chatter. Though they feared the Ancestor Yiling's infamous name, none had witnessed his evil deeds firsthand. The ones truly afraid were the "executioners" wielding swords and knives.
Golden Forest Platform The grand hall, gathering hundreds of families, the scene is similar to the past Qi Mountain endless night, just in a different place.
The crowd is filled with worry, no one dares to speak up, no one wants to break the deadlock. It's Jin Guangshan at the head of the table who speaks first, but the question he raises triggers even greater panic.
"Master Nie Why hasn't he come?"
*(sighs)* "To be honest with everyone, my eldest brother... has gone missing."
"What?! Master Nie is missing?"
"How could Red Mountain Prince go missing? Could it be the work of Wei Wuxian?"
"Can Ancestor Yiling defeat Red Mountain Prince?"
"Well, Wei Wuxian has fought off thousands before, you've seen it yourself. Maybe it really is him coming back!"
"Could it be that he's here to take on Master Nie as a show of force?"
"The scene was once very ugly, and the usually pretentious Immortal Sect seemed unable to continue their act, turning the Golden Forest Platform hall into a noisy marketplace. Jin Guangshan said something twice but no one paid any attention. He pinched the bridge of his nose, ordered some wine to be brought, took a few sips to relieve his fatigue, and waited for the commotion to die down before speaking again."
The wine in the pot is called "Golden Wind Dew," brewed by a family of wine merchants according to their ancestral secret recipe. Although it is wine, it does not intoxicate, but has the effect of gathering essence, concentrating the spirit, and dispelling fatigue. Jin Guangshan is getting older, and his foundation has long been repeatedly overdrawn in the joy of daily women. He relies on various prescriptions for long-term conditioning, and is supported by the high-quality golden elixir he cultivated in his youth, which is why he has not completely fallen apart.
The noise in the main hall was annoying, so Jin Guangshan simply drank the whole pot of wine. Only then did his spirit clear up, and he activated the long-unused golden elixir, and with the added spiritual power, he said, "That's enough," neither lightly nor heavily, neither fast nor slow, just enough to suppress the panic in the hall.
"Nephew Nie, first explain the situation clearly."
"I... I... I was also poisoned before my eldest brother went missing. I don't know the details of what happened."
Nie Huaisang has never spoken in such a big occasion before. After saying just a few words, he started to shiver. Coupled with his recent recovery, he still looked fragile. Helplessly, he could only cast a pleading look at Lan Xichen across from him.
"Gold Master, Huaisang is still weak. Let me speak instead."
"Thank you, Brother Xichen."
"No need to thank me, please have a seat."
Nie Huaisang reluctantly sat down with the help of the table, while Nie Yang quickly cooperated with his coughing, patting his back to help him breathe easier, looking worried. The various guests present all had their own calculations in mind as they watched this scene.
Lan Xichen briefly explained the poisoning of Nie Huaisang and the disappearance of Nie Mingjue in Xi Ping County, which made the various families even more uneasy. The sudden death of the cultivator from the the Nie Family overnight quickly fueled the already deep-rooted suspicions.
If during the previous siege of the Burial Mounds, most of the Immortal Sect were eager to follow the lead of the Jin and Jiang families, especially those smaller Immortal Sect that hadn't yet made a name for themselves in the Sunshot Campaign, this time almost no one dared to step forward. It's a joke, it's obvious that they've come back for revenge, and stepping forward at this time is simply seeking death.
This principle is understood by all, and Jin Guangshan understands it even better.
"Last time, we were fortunate to eliminate the Burial Mounds, thanks to Grandmaster Jiang taking the lead. Naturally, the credit for beheading Wei Wuxian goes to Grandmaster Jiang. Moreover, no matter how you put it, Wei Wuxian was ultimately the first disciple of the former leader of the Jiang Clan. Since he was an old acquaintance of the the Yunmeng Jiang Family, it's still up to Grandmaster Jiang to continue leading us."
"Gold Master is joking. Wei Wuxian has long betrayed our the Yunmeng Jiang Family, he can't be considered an old friend."
"So, does Grandmaster Jiang mean... unwilling?"
" Ancestor Yiling caused chaos in the cultivation world, threatening the safety of many sects. As a member of the the Yunmeng Jiang Family, we naturally cannot shirk our responsibility as an Immortal Sect member."
"Very well said! Grandmaster Jiang is truly the son of the old master Jiang, decisive and resolute! The heart to eliminate Ancestor Yiling is the same for the Jin. However, Jin has lost his son and daughter-in-law, and his eldest grandson is young. Recently, Lanling has also been uneasy..."
"Gold Master only needs to send a hundred cultivators to assist me from the side."
Although Jiang Wanyin's tenure as the sect leader was short, he could see through Jin Guangshan's intentions. But he was caught off guard by Jin Guangshan, who tightly grasped onto Wei Wuxian's background in the the Yunmeng Jiang Family, hitting his sore spot of past desire for his father's approval, and then bringing up Jiang Yanli and Jin Ling. Even though Jiang Wanyin knew there was a pit ahead, he had no choice but to jump in headfirst. At this point, he had no other way to go, and the last trace of reluctance in his heart had been completely extinguished.
The Jin and Jiang families have opened their mouths, and the affiliated Immortal Sect naturally cannot be negligent, but it is not as active as last time. They have come up with various reasons for delay or indirectly declined, only sending a few people to assist the Jiang family in searching for Ancestor Yiling's information in various places in the cultivation world. Jiang Wan Yin watched with frustration, but there was nothing she could do.
The the Nie Family directly declined, the reason is obvious, the sect leader is missing, and the Second Young Master is weak and unable to attend to it. As for The Lan family...
