239: Chapter 239 I'll fuck your ancestors

The air in front of the mountain gate seemed to have frozen.

Chi Wanhe's large eyes blinked, looking toward Chi Shuying with an obvious question.

"Old Ancestor, is this… do we really have a connection with them?"

Chi Shuying's willow-leaf eyebrows furrowed slightly.

The other party spoke with certainty and had even produced an item for verification. Could it be that the Family's Legacy truly had gaps? The Lan Kingdom's Chi Family… really originated from the Hu Kingdom?

But regardless, she would not give them her essence blood.

After all, this was merely the other party's one-sided story. Whether there was a real connection, and whether it was true or false, now that she had a direction, she only needed to send people to investigate, and she would soon be able to reach a conclusion.

"Verify it! Hurry up and verify it!"

"Exactly! Whether it is true or false, we will know with a single test!"

"Sect Master Chi, don't hesitate, let us have a look!"

The surrounding Cultivators who were watching the show could no longer restrain themselves, whispering and urging her, and countless curious and probing gazes focused on Chi Shuying, forming an invisible pressure.

Everyone wanted to know if this seemingly cliché scene of recognizing relatives was true or false!

Just as Chi Shuying was about to speak—

"Heh."

A light, faint laugh broke the stagnation in front of the mountain gate.

A mysterious black-clad figure appeared in front of Chi Shuying and Chi Wanhe. He stood tall and straight, his gaze sweeping calmly across the scene. An invisible sense of majesty spread out like a tide, instantly suppressing all the clamor.

"Sect Master!"

Chi Shuying and Chi Wanhe's eyes lit up simultaneously.

The Chi Family's Old Ancestor Chi Zhengyang, the Family Head Chi Chengye, and the others' expressions changed slightly. They hurriedly bowed and saluted, lowering their postures extremely low, speaking in unison:

"Greetings to Moonshadow Heavenly Venerable!"

Chi Zhengyang steadied himself, as if startled by Ling Hao's appearance, and a deeper smile piled up on his face:

"Moonshadow Heavenly Venerable, you have come at just the right time! This is a Family matter regarding our Chi Clan retrieving a Bloodline that had been lost outside. I ask that you persuade niece Shuying not to harbor resentment because of the old grievances of our ancestors. My Chi Family has absolutely no other intentions; we only hope for our relatives to be reunited!"

"In the future, if any of my Chi Family Disciples wish to enter the Wind Spirit Sect to cultivate, they will certainly walk the Ten Thousand Flower Heavenly Steps properly and enter based on their own ability! We will never rely on blood relations to open back doors or do anything that damages the interests of the Wind Spirit Sect or the Moon Shadow Sect!"

He said these words in a high-sounding and sincere manner, and many surrounding Cultivators nodded secretly upon hearing them.

However, Ling Hao's gaze did not linger on him, but went straight past him, landing on the "Grand Elder" who had been silent behind him.

Ling Hao's lips curled into a smile that wasn't quite a smile, and his tone was calm and waveless:

"This Elder, what is your surname?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the smile on Chi Zhengyang's face froze instantly, and his heart suddenly began to beat wildly!

Cold sweat soaked his back almost instantly.

Chi Chengye reacted extremely quickly and hurriedly rushed to answer:

"Reporting to the Heavenly Venerable! This, this is naturally an Elder of my Chi Family, so of course he is surnamed Chi! His name is…"

"Surnamed Chi?"

Ling Hao chuckled, but that laughter made everyone from the Chi Family feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave.

"Since when did your Chi Family produce a Tribulation Transcendence Stage mighty Cultivator? And allowed a Sixth-Rank Family to advance to the Eighth-Rank?"

Boom—!

It was as if a thunderclap had exploded in everyone's minds!

Tribulation Transcendence Stage?! Eighth-Rank power?!

The Cultivators were completely dumbfounded, looking at the "Grand Elder" in disbelief.

An Elder of a Sixth-Rank power is in the Tribulation Transcendence Stage? How is this possible?! This "Grand Elder's" Aura clearly looked like he was in the Soul Transformation Stage…

The "Grand Elder" whose identity had been exposed had a drastic change in expression! He believed his disguise was seamless and he had a precious treasure secretly passed down by the Niding Alliance to conceal his Aura and appearance.

Logically speaking, it should be impossible to see through it unless one is within one major Realm!

This Ling Hao… how did he see through it at a glance?!

Damn it! That fellow Zhu Wutong clearly swore that Ling Hao only had the cultivation of the second or third layer of the Tribulation Transcendence Stage! This Thousand-Faced Profound Mechanism Pendant of mine is enough to deceive anyone below the Middle Stage of the Tribulation Transcendence Stage! Could it be… that Zhu Wutong's intelligence is wrong?!

Could it be that this Sect Master of the Moon Shadow Sect is actually a Mahayana Supreme?

But at this moment, he had no time to think!

Facing Ling Hao's questioning, he forced himself to remain calm, and instead revealed a hint of grievance on his face, as if he had been wronged:

"Moonshadow Heavenly Venerable! You are in a high position of power, but you cannot slander me out of thin air! I, the Chi Family…"

"In front of this Seat, you still want to hide your head and show your tail?"

Ling Hao's eyes suddenly turned cold, his right hand lifted casually, and he pressed down in the air toward the "Grand Elder"!

A terrifying pressure like the heavens collapsing descended!

"Pfft!"

The "Grand Elder" was struck as if by a heavy hammer, his protective spiritual light shattered instantly, and his disguise could no longer be maintained!

He let out a muffled groan, his figure staggering back several steps. His Aura of the early Tribulation Transcendence Stage erupted, unable to be concealed any longer, and it carried an strange fluctuation of cold, decaying, and thick bloody Aura.

Ling Hao narrowed his eyes, feeling that familiar and disgusting Aura. It was exactly the same as what he had felt on the Erosion Source Blood Tree in the northwest of the Qing State.

Ling Hao's cold voice rang out through the mountain gate,

"Niding Alliance!"

"My god, it really is Tribulation Transcendence! Is this Chi Family that awesome? They quietly cultivated a Tribulation Transcendence Heavenly Venerable?"

"Bullshit! Didn't you hear the Moonshadow Heavenly Venerable say this is the Niding Alliance?"

"Niding Alliance?!"

"What kind of power is that?"

"I don't know! But it doesn't sound like anything good!"

"I seem to have heard my Sect Elders mention it once, saying they are a bunch of rats in the gutter, specializing in sabotage, and everyone should kill them!"

The scene in front of the mountain gate exploded! Most Cultivators were confused, but a few experienced Cultivators or those from large Sects changed their expressions instantly, looking at the "Grand Elder" with eyes full of disgust and fear.

"Hall Master Cangwu? What is it?"

Ling Hao's gaze was as sharp as a blade,

"You want to use the Chi Family's name of recognizing relatives to plot against the pillars of my Moon Shadow Sect?"

Gongsun Gai's face was livid. He had originally intended to use the Chi Family's "Ancestral Source Kinship Jade" and secret techniques. As long as he obtained a strand of Chi Shuying's hair and a drop of her essence blood, he could cast the "Blood Soul Thread-Tying Curse" to silently control this Wind Spirit Sect Master and then infiltrate the Moon Shadow Sect!

But he never expected that in front of Ling Hao, all disguises and calculations… would be useless!

"Since you have come, then stay."

Gongsun Gai heard this, and a flash of wild rage at being looked down upon crossed his eyes! Although his identity had been exposed, he surmised that this was just a coincidence because the Sect Master of the Moon Shadow Sect happened to have a precious treasure that countered him.

As they were both in the Tribulation Transcendence Stage, how could he just sit and wait for death?

Gongsun Gai laughed wildly, and the erosion qi around his body exploded, his Aura soaring into the sky, temporarily breaking through part of Ling Hao's pressure blockade.

"Ling Hao! Even if you saw through it, so what?!"

Gongsun Gai shouted sternly,

"Since we are both in the Tribulation Transcendence Stage, you only have the cultivation of the second or third layer, yet you dare to boast about keeping this Seat here?!"

"Oh?"

Ling Hao raised an eyebrow slightly, as if he had heard some interesting joke,

"Is that so?"

Before his voice had faded, Ling Hao pressed his fingers together like a sword and tapped gently toward Gongsun Gai!

A ray of Chaos Qi finger radiance broke through the air! It wasn't fast, but it made Gongsun Gai's soul fly out of terror. He felt a terror far beyond his imagination from this finger!

That was definitely not power that the second or third layer of the Tribulation Transcendence Stage should have!

This power… something is wrong!

Zhu Wutong, I f*** your ancestors!!!

Gongsun Gai exhausted all his strength to sacrifice several defensive Spirit Treasures, the erosion qi around his body surging to the sky as he tried to tear open space and escape.

"Zhu Wutong! I f*** your…!!!"

The rest of the words were not spoken, or perhaps, this was the complete sentence?

In front of this finger of Ling Hao's that contained Chaos Qi, all resistance was futile!

The finger radiance ignored the obstacles and easily pierced through Gongsun Gai's protective Devilish Qi and the layered light curtains of his Spirit Treasures, sinking into the center of his eyebrows and destroying his spirit.

Gongsun Gai's body stiffened suddenly, the unwillingness and wild rage in his eyes frozen instantly, and then his expression dimmed, and his Physical Body dissipated without a trace.

The Cultivators who were just clamoring a moment ago dared not even breathe loudly now. Tribulation Transcendence against Tribulation Transcendence!

The Sect Master of the Moon Shadow Sect could actually kill a Tribulation Transcendence mighty Cultivator with a single finger!

What a terrifying gap!

What terrifying strength!

The Chi Family's Old Ancestor Chi Zhengyang, the Family Head Chi Chengye, and the others were even more pale, trembling like chaff, falling to their knees with a thud, kowtowing like pounding garlic.

Ling Hao's gaze turned to the "Ancestral Source Kinship Jade" floating in Chi Zhengyang's hand.

He grabbed it from the air, and the jade flew into his hand.
