Chapter 684: Bi Rong, Come and Meet Grandfather
"What's the situation now? Are the elders of Juxian Pavilion just going to sit back and do nothing?" Bao Yingjun quickly asked again.
“Master, the Lei family has not taken any action yet. They are just staying in Xianluo City and not going out. The Wei family has not launched an attack either. They are just blocking Xianluo Island and not letting the people from Xianluo Island go out.
As for Juxian Pavilion, it is said that the great elder Chi Rong led people there a few days ago, but the Wei family refused to reconcile, so Chi Rong led people away and there was no follow-up action. "Bao Zhidao replied.
"The Wei family shouldn't have a seventh-rank true immortal, right? Otherwise, there would be no need for them to just blockade the city without attacking. They are obviously afraid of the defense formation of Xianluo City and want to force the head of the Lei family to rush out before the catastrophe comes.
But if the Wei family didn't have a seventh-rank true immortal, how could they have the confidence to not give Chi Rong face? "Bao Yingjun frowned slightly, revealing a hint of confusion.
"It is said that Wei Tian, the young master of the Wei family, is not only a sixth-rank immortal like his father Wei Zhang, but he is also the most proud disciple of the owner of Lingguang Cave in the Nanboshan Sea. It is said that the owner of Lingguang Cave is an extremely powerful seventh-rank immortal in the Nanboshan Sea, and he is also a person who has great hope of surviving the wind and fire disaster and becoming an eighth-rank immortal." Bao Zhidao replied.
"I see, that's no wonder!" Bao Yingjun said with relief, then waved his hand and said, "Go down and keep a close eye on the news from Xianluo Island. Report as soon as there is any news!"
"Yes, disciple!" Bao Zhidao accepted the order and left.
After Bao Zhidao left, Bao Yingjun also got up and left his own cave of practice and came to the cave where the head master practiced.
"Yingjun, come in!"
Bao Yingjun had just reached the door when Qin Ziling's voice was heard from inside, and then the door of the cave slowly opened.
Bao Yingjun entered the cave in a flash, and when he came to Qin Ziling, he said flatteringly, "Brother is really amazing. You can tell that before I even reach the door."
"Stop flattering me and sit down!" Qin Ziling pointed casually, and a cushion rose up next to Bao Yingjun.
"Thank you, senior brother." Seeing this, Bao Yingjun sat down with a smile.
"Tell me, what's the matter?" Qin Ziling asked.
When Bao Yingjun saw Qin Ziling asking about serious matters, the smile on his face immediately disappeared and became very solemn.
"Dear brother, I just got the news that the Wei family in the Nanboshan Sea area has sent a large number of troops to surround and blockade Xianluo Island, attempting to wipe out the entire Lei family..." Bao Yingjun reported the news he had received one by one, including that Chi Rong was afraid of the power behind the Wei family and did not dare to interfere in the affairs of the two families.
After listening to this, Qin Ziling touched his chin and said calmly, "Speaking of which, Lei Keyu and Bi Rong haven't been back to the Lei family for sixty years. It's time for them to go back."
“Hehe, this time when Lei Keyu and Bi Rong go back, they will definitely surprise the Lei family who looked down on them back then!” Upon hearing this, Bao Yingjun’s rat eyes narrowed slightly, leaving only a slit.
"It's time to change the situation where the Chi family is the only dominant family in Juxianhai!" Qin Ziling said.
"Brother, are you preparing..." Bao Yingjun's rat eyes suddenly widened, revealing anticipation and excitement.
"The Pingyu Mountain blessed land is still too small after all, and the Juxian Sea is in a very good location. It is the gathering point of the three major forces. Once the Lei family and the Chi family are on an equal footing, it will be much easier for us in the Wuji Sect to do things." Qin Ziling said.
After saying that, Qin Ziling ordered someone to call Lei Keyu and his wife.
…
Three days later.
To the west of Xianluo Island, at the bottom of a river connected to the estuary, a big fish opened its mouth and spit out a ring.
The ring disappeared as soon as it was spit out, and was replaced by Qin Ziling in a blue robe.
After Qin Ziling appeared, a slight ripple soon appeared in the space around him, and then Zhu Run and Lei Keyu and his wife appeared out of thin air.
After the four people appeared, the water of the river rolled back to both sides, the four people stepped out on the waves, and then flew all the way towards Xianluo City.
The Wei family simply blocked the waters outside Xianluo Island and quietly waited for the Lei family's counterattack. They turned a blind eye to any movement of people on Xianluo Island.
Xianluo City, City Lord’s Mansion.
The atmosphere was heavy and depressing.
"The Wei family has made it clear that they want to surround us but not attack, and no one in Juxianhai will stand up for our Lei family. There is no point in wasting time, and it will only wear down our will to fight.
Therefore , I decided that we will charge out in three days, and everyone should go back and prepare well. In this battle, as long as three or five of the sixteen people including Changfu can escape, the Lei family will not be cut off, and there is still hope! "Lei Yanlong said in a deep voice.
"Master, can't you give Changsheng a place?" Lei Yance said in a hoarse voice.
Lei Yanlong looked up at the sky for a long time before he said, "More people means a bigger target, and we also need to have enough troops and strength to attract the people of the Wei family, so sixteen people are already the limit . Changsheng is capable, but his talent and potential are insufficient, so let's create opportunities for other members of the clan!"
"Master, this is unfair! I am less than two thousand years old this year, but I am already a third-grade true immortal. How can I lack talent and potential? And Lei Changfu is already the one who must be protected, why do we have to protect his son too?" Lei Changsheng stood up and said unwillingly.
"Uncle Changsheng, you!" Lei Kening, who looks imposing and has always had a good relationship with Lei Changsheng, looked at him in disbelief when he saw that Lei Changsheng actually called his name.
Sixty years ago, Lei Keyu wanted to take back Tenglong Island from Lei Changsheng. It was Lei Kening who came forward to support his uncle.
"How dare you question the master of the family..." The law enforcement elder Lei Chen stood up suddenly and pressed towards Lei Changsheng with a powerful and majestic aura.
However, before Lei Chen could finish his scolding, someone came in and reported, "Master, Young Master Lei Keyu is back."
"Why would he come back? Didn't he leave Xianluo Islands? Could it be that he has been hiding in Xianluo Island all these years? Bring him in." Lei Yanlong's face suddenly changed when he heard this.
Xianluo Island is very large, with rolling mountains. If Lei Keyu deliberately hid in the mountains and the Lei family did not pay special attention to search, they would not know.
The others' expressions changed when they heard this.
"Master, Lei Keyu is extremely talented. He broke through to the third-grade True Immortal realm sixty years ago. Logically, he should also occupy a place, but you just said that sixteen places are already the limit!" Lei Yance said, with a hint of gloating in the depths of his eyes.
Among the sixteen people this time, no one from his branch was selected. Although Lei Yance knew very well that his branch was indeed a bit disappointing and the clan's decision was correct, he still felt extremely uncomfortable.
Now when he saw Lei Keyu suddenly appear, he felt very happy for some reason.
"Since Ke Yu is still on the island, let's give up Ke Ning's place." Lei Yanlong looked coldly at Lei Yance and Lei Changsheng, father and son, and said in a deep voice.
"Grandfather!" Lei Kening's face changed drastically.
"Father!" Lei Changfu's expression also changed.
"Forget it, you useless things, both of you stay!" When Lei Yanlong saw Lei Changfu and his son speaking at the same time, he looked at them both with great disappointment, and then suddenly spoke.
"Master!"
"Master, you absolutely cannot do this. Lei Changfu is a fifth-rank True Immortal, the hope for the family's future. Everyone else can stay, but he must leave."
All the elders were shocked when they heard this and hurried to persuade him.
"Humph, the family is facing a disaster, and we are willing to protect these sixteen people at all costs. It's not because their lives are more precious than others, but to protect the future of the Lei family and consider the overall situation! But look at them, they only care about their own lives and their sons' lives. Can my Lei family place our hopes on such children and grandchildren?
Lei Changfu was originally one of the main targets of the Wei family, and it was very difficult for him to escape. This is just right. If he stays, he can attract and involve a lot of Wei family forces with his strong strength, and can better seize the opportunity for others to escape. "Lei Yanlong said coldly.
Lei Yanlong's voice echoed in the hall, and the hall was silent.
Just at this moment, Zhu Run, Lei Keyu and his wife came in surrounded by Qin Ziling.
"Grandfather, I don't accept it! Lei Keyu's talent is better than mine, but he didn't listen to you and married a demon slave, which brought shame to my Lei family. He is an unfilial son. Why should I use the lives of other family members to protect his life!" Seeing Lei Keyu coming in with Bi Rong beside him, Lei Kening's eyes couldn't help but reveal resentment and jealousy.
Because of his appearance, not only did he lose his chance to save his life, but even his father was implicated.
"That's right, why should we use the lives of other family members to protect Lei Keyu's life? Since the fewer people there are, the smaller the target will be, and Lei Keyu is at least a third-rank true immortal, then let him stay and fight for the family. Back then, he decided to marry a demon slave, which brought shame to the family. Today, it's his turn to make amends for his crime and make meritorious contributions for the family!" Lei Changsheng said.
"No wonder my Lei family has ended up like this today, you are all a bunch of short-sighted bastards. Even the family is about to be destroyed, and you are still fighting here, and you have to use the demon slave to humiliate Ke Yu?
Today I will tell you clearly why I decided to protect Ke Yu as soon as he came. It is not only because his talent and potential are higher than yours, but also because he was willing to give up the support of the Lei family and live in poverty for Bi Rong.
This kind of friendship, this kind of loyalty, and this kind of firm will and belief are what the Lei family needs most now, and what we can fully trust. As long as one such child escapes, there will be hope for our Lei family.
Do you think that because I was angry with Ke Yu, I was completely disappointed in him? You are wrong. In fact, I valued him more in my heart. I also wanted to use that incident to temper his will. He did not let me down! "Lei Yanlong said in a deep voice.
Everyone was silent.
Lei Keyu's expression became very serious, and something flickered faintly in his eyes.
He always thought that his grandfather was extremely disappointed in him, but he didn't expect that even though his grandfather was angry, he was still thinking about him in his heart.
"But a witch is a witch. Could it be that the head of the family is pinning his hopes on a witch to revitalize the Lei family in the future?" Lei Yance was silent for a moment, and said somewhat unconvinced.
"Enough! The situation has already become like this, where does your sense of superiority still come from? You open your mouth and call me a witch, and close your mouth and call me a slave girl!" Qin Ziling finally spoke when he saw this.
"Who do you think you are? Do you think you can come in here? Get here right now..." Lei Yance became furious when he saw Qin Ziling actually scolding him.
"Old thing, do you want to die?" Zhu Run had disliked Lei Yance for a long time. Now that he saw that he dared to scold his eldest brother, he didn't care whether he was Lei Keyu's elder or not. He shouted angrily, and a huge flaming handprint rose behind him, and he slapped Lei Yance.
Zhu Run is now a sixth-rank True Immortal, and he also has the blood of the ancient ferocious beast Zhu Yan. Once the power of his blood is stimulated, even a seventh-rank True Immortal can barely fight against him. How powerful is he.
Lei Yance is just a fourth-grade True Immortal, and he is a very ordinary person among the fourth-grade True Immortals.
What Zhu Run did was disastrous!
The terrifying force suddenly sealed off the space around Lei Yance.
Lei Yance's face changed drastically. As soon as the immortal power in his body surged, it was suppressed by the invisible power emitted by the flaming handprint. He couldn't even use his immortal weapon.
"Sixth-rank True Immortal!" The Lei family elders and some knowledgeable young men in the hall all changed their complexion and looked frightened.
Lei Yanlong's face also changed drastically. The immortal power in his body suddenly circulated. He raised his hand in the air, but seemed to remember something and put the hand back.
“Bang!”
Lei Yance didn't even have a chance to resist and was pinned to the ground by the huge flaming handprint.
"Father!" Lei Changsheng cried out in grief and anger upon seeing this, but did not dare to step forward.
The hall was dead silent.
Everyone looked at the scene in front of them in shock, with cold sweat breaking out on their foreheads.
Earlier, when Qin Ziling and his three companions came in to see the situation of the Lei family and their attitude towards Lei Keyu and his wife, they deliberately restrained their aura. In addition, everyone knew Lei Keyu's cultivation level and their attention was on him, so they didn't pay much attention to Qin Ziling and the other three.
As a result, they never dreamed that one of the people who came with Lei Keyu was actually a sixth-grade true immortal!
"So you are a master, fellow Taoist. I am sorry for not coming to welcome you. Could you please let my cousin go first?" Lei Yanlong glanced at Lei Yance under the huge flaming handprint and bowed to Zhu Run.
Zhu Run did not answer Lei Yanlong, but looked at Qin Ziling.
When everyone saw that Zhu Run obviously wanted to ask Qin Ziling for instructions, they all felt a chill running up their spines, even Lei Yanlong was no exception.
As for Lei Yance who was suppressed under the big handprint, as well as Lei Changsheng, Lei Qiang and other three people who knew Qin Ziling, they were already frightened to death when they saw that Zhu Run, a sixth-grade true immortal, actually had to ask Qin Ziling for instructions!
Back then, they had framed Qin Ziling and robbed him halfway.
Law Enforcement Elder Lei Chen had another feeling that was indescribable.
"Since Mr. Lei has spoken, let's let this old thief go first. We can settle all the old and new accounts with them after this matter is over!" Qin Ziling said lightly.
"Yes, big brother!" Zhu Run bowed slightly, and then retracted the flaming handprint.
Lei Yanlong's expression changed slightly when he saw this, and a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes.
Seeing this, Lei Chen quickly moved closer to Lei Yanlong and muttered a few words.
Lei Yanlong's face changed drastically when he heard this, and he quickly bowed to Qin Ziling and said, "So you are Ke Yu's friend, Mr. Qin. I am sorry for the incident sixty years ago. Please, Mr. Qin..."
"I'm not here for the incident that happened sixty years ago. I just want to ask you one thing." Qin Ziling waved his hand to interrupt Lei Yanlong.
"Please speak, Mr. Qin." Lei Yanlong was slightly stunned, then quickly spoke modestly and politely.
"Do you, the Lei family, recognize Bi Rong as your granddaughter-in-law or not?" Qin Ziling asked.
"I didn't agree before, but later when I saw Ke Yu's determination, I actually accepted it in my heart. But I am the head of the family and the grandfather, so I can't say this on my own initiative. I need Ke Yu and Bi Rong to make some gestures before I can follow the trend.
It just so happens that Ke Yu seems to be humble and easy to talk to everyone on the surface, but he is actually arrogant and stubborn in his bones. He doesn't want to let Bi Rong down, so he holds his breath and wants to prove something through his own efforts. I think this might be a good opportunity for him to hone his skills, so I just let him go. "Lei Yanlong said.
Qin Ziling knew that Lei Keyu had always held a special place in Lei Yanlong's heart since sixty years ago, when Lei Yanlong specially ordered Lei Yu to deliver the second-grade "Du'e Xiandan" to Lei Keyu, and later when the law enforcement elder Lei Chen handled matters impartially.
The reason why I asked this question today was simply to ask Lei Yanlong, the head of the family, to give Bi Rong an explanation in front of everyone in the Lei family.
Since Lei Yanlong had made his words so clear, Qin Ziling would not embarrass him. He nodded to Lei Yanlong, then turned to Bi Rong and said, "In that case, Bi Rong, come and pay your respects to grandfather. You have forgotten everything that happened before. This time, you help solve the Lei family's problem."
"Yes, Master!" Bi Rong bowed to Qin Ziling and accepted the order, then walked to Lei Yanlong, knelt on both knees and kowtowed, saying: "Bi Rong greets Grandfather!"
As he kowtowed, a powerful aura surged out from Bi Rong, like an overwhelming tidal wave, and it even gave people the feeling that the entire hall had turned into a sea of fire.
This momentum is actually no less than that of Zhu Run's just attack.
"Sixth-rank True Immortal!"
Everyone in the Lei family was so shocked that they almost slipped off their chairs. Their hearts were pounding and they couldn't control themselves.
Sixth-grade true immortal!
The evil witch and slave who had been belittled, humiliated, despised and driven out of the Lei family by them turned out to be an extremely powerful sixth-grade true immortal!
"Okay, okay! Get up quickly. It's your grandfather and the Lei family who are sorry for you!" Lei Yanlong was also stunned. It took him a while to come back to his senses. He quickly reached out to help Bi Rong up, tears streaming down his face, looking ashamed.
"Grandfather, let's not talk about the past anymore. Please give the order now and let Bi Rong go out and destroy the enemies who dare to besiege us!" Bi Rong clasped his fists, his red hair flying behind his head like flames.
Everyone was suddenly awakened when they heard the words. They were all cheered up and full of fighting spirit. Even Lei Yance, Lei Changsheng and Lei Qiang were cheered up.
If they fight with the Wei family, the children of the Lei family will surely die.
Now, no matter how Lei Keyu and Bi Rong would punish them afterwards, their lives and those of their families were at least saved.
