175: The ancestor was attacked
Subsequently, he had someone help Old Ancestor Jin Xiao Zhi back first.
Although Old Ancestor Jin Xiao Zhi was injured, she refused to leave.
She pushed away the two people who wanted to help her, and said with a smile, "Let me watch a bit longer."
"I have to see the play through to the end."
Jin Qiuyan flicked her sleeves, too angry to say anything.
You're on the verge of death.
At this moment, Wanyan Zhuo took a step forward, the Killing Intent on his face even more intense than before.
Originally, Old Ancestor Jin Xiao Zhi's appearance had made him anxious, fearing that Old Ancestor Jin Xiao Zhi would intervene to stop him.
Now that Old Ancestor Jin Xiao Zhi was injured and poisoned, she no longer had the strength to stop him.
He felt that he could finally kill Yang Ming.
Now, the only stumbling block was Jin Qiuyan.
"Jin Qiuyan."
"Just now, Old Ancestor Jin Xiao Zhi said very clearly that she would not interfere with Yang Ming's matter."
"She is your Old Ancestor."
"You should listen to her."
"I hope you will not meddle in this matter again."
Jin Qiuyan impatiently said, "I don't have time to talk about this with you right now."
"Our Old Ancestor is injured."
"I need to take her back for treatment immediately."
"You and Yang Ming's matter can be discussed later."
He said to Jin Yanxi and the others, "Please invite Wanyan Zhuo to the guest room to rest."
Jin Yanxi immediately walked in front of Wanyan Zhuo, her face as cold as frost.
"Please."
Behind her stood several other powerful individuals from the Jinling Family.
Although these powerful individuals were not as strong as Wanyan Zhuo, standing there, they showed no fear.
The Qi on their bodies merged together, making Wanyan Zhuo tremble with fear.
Especially Jin Yanxi in front of him, her strength was truly remarkable.
If he were to truly fight them, even if he could win, it would not be easy to kill Yang Ming.
Moreover, the Jinling Family was full of powerful individuals.
How many other Old Ancestors had not yet appeared?
"Please."
Jin Yanxi repeated, staring aggressively at Wanyan Zhuo.
Wanyan Zhuo snorted coldly and said to Jin Qiuyan, "I can wait a bit longer."
"But you must guarantee that Yang Ming will remain in the Jinling Family."
"Don't worry."
Jin Qiuyan left these words and helped Old Ancestor Jin Xiao Zhi away.
Yang Ming looked down at his wound and also left.
The matter temporarily ended.
Everyone was still immersed in the events, whispering to each other.
No one expected that the Old Ancestor of the Jinling Family would actually be ambushed.
And the person who ambushed her was Jin Chanyue of the Jinling Family.
Jin Qiuyan and the others accompanied Old Ancestor Jin Xiao Zhi back to her room.
While Old Ancestor Jin Xiao Zhi was recuperating, Jin Qiuyan asked her how Jin Chanyue should be dealt with.
Old Ancestor Jin Xiao Zhi remained silent.
Such a person should be killed.
However, Jin Chanyue was someone she had watched grow up since childhood.
She couldn't bring herself to say the word 'kill' or bear to do it.
Jin Yanxi, who was standing by, suddenly said coldly, "Those who make mistakes must bear the consequences."
"Daring to harm the Old Ancestor is equivalent to betraying the Family."
"Attempting to put our Jinling Family in danger."
"Such a person cannot be kept."
Jin Yanxi and Jin Chanyue were like sisters.
Were they even relatives?
When she spoke, no one else had anything to say.
Jin Qiuyan pondered for a moment, silently glancing at the indifferent Jin Yanxi.
She silently looked at the indifferent Jin Yanxi.
She handed the matter over to Jin Yanxi.
The next day, Jin Chanyue disappeared.
While Old Ancestor Jin Xiao Zhi was recovering from her injuries, Yang Ming was also healing in the courtyard.
It was unclear whether it was to supervise Yang Ming or to protect him, but the Jinling Family sent four powerful individuals to guard Yang Ming's door.
At the same time, Jin Qiuyan ordered someone to quickly notify the Luoyue Sect about this matter.
Although the Jinling Family had a certain relationship with Yang Ming, they could not afford to offend the Tian Dao Sect for his sake.
This was because the wife of the Tian Dao Sect's Sect Leader was also from the Jinling Family and held a certain prestige within the Jinling Family.
Therefore, they found it difficult to intervene.
They could only notify the Luoyue Sect, hoping that the people from the Luoyue Sect could arrive at the Jinling Family in time to save Yang Ming's life.
The poison in Old Ancestor Jin Xiao Zhi's body was quickly cleared.
Fortunately, it was not a rare poison and did not cause her much harm.
As for the stab wound, it was negligible.
By the fourth day, she had basically fully recovered.
Originally, she wanted to go out and walk around to show everyone that she was fine, to reassure everyone.
Otherwise, many people would worry, especially rival forces, who would surely cause trouble if they saw that she was also in trouble.
She did not want to bring more trouble to the Family.
However, Jin Qiuyan would not let her go out.
Not only did he not let her go out, but he also told her that she must pretend to be seriously injured.
Old Ancestor Jin Xiao Zhi was very unhappy.
Why did she have to pretend?
Wouldn't that damage her reputation?
She originally thought that Jin Qiuyan was doing this to protect Yang Ming and buy time.
However, Jin Qiuyan shook his head.
"I'm not doing this to protect Yang Ming."
"I want to go fishing."
"Fishing?"
"Fishing for what?"
Old Ancestor Jin Xiao Zhi looked puzzled.
Jin Qiuyan chuckled softly and whispered a few words into Old Ancestor Jin Xiao Zhi's ear.
Old Ancestor Jin Xiao Zhi suddenly understood and said with a laugh, "Good, good, good."
"Then let's go fishing."
The next day, the news of Old Ancestor Jin Xiao Zhi's worsening condition spread like wildfire.
The Jinling Family was in turmoil.
No one expected Old Ancestor Jin Xiao Zhi's condition to be so bad.
Losing an Old Ancestor was an extremely heavy blow to them.
Large families or forces all had Old Ancestors like Old Ancestor Jin Xiao Zhi, but their numbers were extremely scarce.
Losing one meant losing a portion of their strength.
If an enemy had one more Old Ancestor than you, they could completely crush you.
This was a very terrifying thing.
Jin Qiuyan issued a strict order that no one was to spread this matter.
However, because the Jinling Family had just held a grand event a few days ago, the guests had not left due to Yang Ming's matter.
Therefore, they already knew about this.
Jin Qiuyan could command the people of the Jinling Family, but he couldn't control the mouths of others.
This matter spread like wind and quickly reached the entire Yun Province.
The Jinling Family was an extremely complex Family, having certain relationships with various forces.
However, these relationships varied in importance.
Some had close ties with the Jinling Family, while others had shallower relationships.
Of course, there were also some forces that had grievances with the Jinling Family.
For example, the Seven Stars Sect and the Qingyun Sect of the Twelve Sects of Yun Province.
These two Sects had grievances with the Jinling Family thousands of years ago.
The two sides were at loggerheads, and on several occasions, they almost annihilated each other.
Such hatred could no longer be resolved.
In addition to Yun Province, the Jinling Family also had enemies in other places.
And these enemies were far more powerful than those in Yun Province.
Yun Province was the smallest and weakest province on this continent.
It simply couldn't compare to the other eight major provinces.
