Chapter 252 Chapter Settlement of the Ji Family
This meeting was truly unprecedented.
Led by the four ancient royal families, followed by dozens of other ancient races, they finally arrived in the Holy City under the watchful eyes and expectations of the human race.
Gatherings of this scale are extremely rare in history.
What is even more commendable is that this is a grand event where all the ancient tribes come together to apologize to the human race!
Looking back to the ancient times, the human race has always been just slaves and vassals in the eyes of all ancient races, as lowly as ants and completely ignored.
Who could have thought that after endless years and with the situation changing, it would finally be the time for these high and mighty alien races to bow down to the human race!
"Look, that's an elder from the Primitive Lake. It's said that he has reached the Saint King realm! Hehe, he has to come and apologize!"
"Not only that, the old man over there is the old patriarch of the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest. I have seen his portrait in a ruin, but I didn't expect to get a glimpse of his true appearance today!"
"Isn't that Huang Xu Dao? He is a man of extraordinary talent. It is said that he has already successfully cut off the Dao and is only half a step away from the legendary holy realm. There are even rumors that his strength is even higher than that of the Heavenly Emperor's son!"
“Hehe, no matter how talented you are, can you compare to our human race’s Chai Wudi? When he was a half-saint, he was able to kill the supreme saint king!”
The holy city was bustling like never before. Countless monks were standing by the railings or sitting on the buildings, enjoying fine wine and delicious food while watching the arrival of the various ancient clans.
Some smart merchants in the city even put up various banners:
"The whole world is celebrating the arrival of all races. Everyone who enters the restaurant can enjoy free drinks and 30% off on dishes!"
"Congratulations to the human race, all items in the store are 50% off!"
There were loud sounds of gongs and drums and firecrackers everywhere, and huge crowds of people. Human monks, carrying their elderly and children, took to the streets to watch this grand spectacle.
When the ancient tribes saw such a scene, their already ugly faces turned as black as the bottom of a pot. In the past, they would have been furious and would have run away even in the city.
But now the world has changed, and they have come here to ask for forgiveness. The lesson of the Golden Clan’s demise is right before their eyes. Who would dare to act recklessly on this human territory again?
All he could do was to close his eyes and ears, turn a blind eye, and quickly enter a building that had been prepared with an expressionless face.
This was a negotiation without any suspense. Since the ancient tribes were willing to come and obey orders, they had already lowered their noble heads.
The so-called apology, of course, cannot be just a simple apology, saying "I was wrong" and then letting it go.
The first one, of course, is to ask all the ancient tribes to hand over the culprit of this incident and sentence him to death.
Naturally, the various tribes were unwilling, but under Chai Xin's strong threat, they had to hand over some people one after another.
Of course, these people are definitely not the core figures of each tribe, they are just scapegoats. Chai Xin and the representatives of the major forces are clear about this.
However, whether these people are the culprits or not is actually not important. What is important is a statement and an attitude.
This would have been something that would never have happened in the past.
Who has ever seen an ancient royal family willing to hand over people to a hostile force in order to calm down the situation?
Once this incident started, it completely set the tone for the situation between the two sides - if the ancient tribes wanted to keep things peaceful, they had to lower their profile and bleed heavily!
Finally, after a series of negotiations, the ancient tribes suffered unprecedented heavy losses.
Five million kilograms of divine source and one hundred million kilograms of pure source were the final compensation!
Of course, if you can't come up with so much resources, you can use treasures of equal value to offset it and pay it off within three months.
Naturally, the ancient tribes were extremely reluctant, but when Chai Xin, who was sitting in the main seat, slowly leaned back in his chair and took out a red furnace that was glowing with crystal light, and rubbed it back and forth in his palm, the words of rejection from the representatives of the various tribes were all swallowed back involuntarily.
Not to mention Gai Jiuyou, who was invincible and killed the seven great saints with a wave of his hand, just Chai Xin alone was enough to cause a great disaster to all the ancient tribes!
Originally, Chai Xin, with the realm of semi-saint, had a record of killing the supreme saint king. Now that he has entered the saint realm and has the blessing of the Hengyu Divine Furnace with which he is connected by blood, who knows how powerful he can become?
Besides, his speed of cultivation is simply against common sense. He might be able to overcome the tribulation of the Saint King one day. If he then causes trouble in the Shanmen clan territory like he did to the Golden Clan, who would be able to tolerate it?
As for secretly killing Chai Xin - they don't have the courage to do that!
Not to mention that Gai Jiuyou's appearance when Chai Xin was in crisis was equivalent to making his position clear. If anyone dared to kill Chai Xin, he would definitely help again.
Given Chai Xin's current strength, who should they send to ensure success?
Seventy percent of the compensation proceeds went to Chai Xin and the Jiang family, and the remaining thirty percent went to various major forces to benefit from it.
If Chai Xin had not taken action in this crisis, the young men of all major forces would have been doomed, and a gap would likely have occurred, affecting the inheritance of power. Almost all the credit goes to him.
Of course, Gai Jiuyou’s contribution was also not small, but he was like a dragon that was hard to find. When they meet again one day, Chai Xin will take the initiative to mention this matter.
However, all major forces contributed manpower and effort during the negotiations, and they all came from far away, so their work would not be in vain.
Moreover, through this conference, the leaders of all major forces gathered together, and Chai Xin also issued a subtle warning, telling them that an unprecedented crisis was about to come and they should be prepared to deal with it.
All major forces have some speculation about this. After all, the ancient tribes did not revive earlier or later, but chose to revive at this time. Obviously, the reason cannot be just a coincidence.
Moreover, within forces like the Ji family and the Yao Chi family, which have produced ancient emperors, there are actually some fragmentary warnings and prophecies left, as if unprecedented major changes will befall this life.
Therefore, under the promotion of Chai Xin, the major forces initially reached an offensive and defensive alliance among the human race, indicating that before the crisis comes, they will no longer fight each other, but will help each other.
Of course, this alliance is very loose, and Chai Xin can hardly predict how each family will perform.
But he has tried his best. It is impossible to suppress all the ancient families and holy places by force and force them to integrate into one force.
Not to mention him, no one could accomplish such a thing unless the ancient emperor was resurrected or a new person of truth was born.
After the conference ended, the price paid by the ancient tribes for atonement quickly spread throughout the entire Big Dipper star field with the deliberate instigation of various major forces.
Countless human beings were excited and finally felt proud, and they severely suppressed the arrogance of the ancient races.
At the same time, many of the ancient tribes that had been extremely arrogant in the past directly announced that they would temporarily close their mountains and would not allow their younger generations to go out at will in the near future.
Even those who have not closed the mountains have become more low-key than ever when they act outside, and they no longer have the arrogance of the past when they meet humans.
Chai Xin allocated the resources properly and spent several months with Beidou and his old friends. After enjoying some rare peaceful time, he finally planned to set foot on the ancient starry road again.
It is hard to find an opponent for him in Beidou. Even if there are some older generations who are stronger than him, they dare not attack him. It is meaningless for him to stay. Only by going on the strongest ancient trial road can he hone himself better.
Moreover, he still had some grievances to deal with there. However, before leaving Beidou, he brought his seven saint kings to the southern region of the East Wasteland and landed in the Ji family's territory.
It's time to settle those old accounts.
In fact, at the Holy City Conference that day, Chai Xin had already made it clear to the Ji brothers and sisters, asking them to tell Ji family's Holy Master Ji Yuntian that he would visit him soon.
Of course, whether for the sake of Emperor Void or for Ye Fan, he would not go on a killing spree and completely massacre the Ji family.
But none of those who attacked him back then can be spared!
He arrived at the main gate of the Ji family with seven people, and a divine thought swept out: "Ji Yuntian, Ji Boyu, Ji Luan, Ji Hui, Ji Yi..."
He listed hundreds of names in a row, all of whom were later found to be people from the Ji family who had attacked him or ordered people to hunt him down.
Among them, Ji Yuntian is the contemporary holy leader of the Ji family, and Ji Boyu is the extremely arrogant eighth ancestor of the Ji family.
"Everyone come out and die!"
After the name was announced, Chai Xin uttered these six words in a calm tone, without the slightest hint of coldness, but it caused a huge wave in the entire Ji family.
The divine sense swept across the entire Ji family's territory, and could even be clearly heard in many places in the southern region. Countless people knew what was happening here.
Of course, no one dared to step forward to investigate.
Neither the Ji family nor Chai Xin are people that ordinary cultivators can offend easily. If they anger either party just for the sake of watching the fun, it would be a loss.
"This Chai Xin, does he think that just because he is a member of the Jiang family and his strength is comparable to that of a great sage, he can ignore all the heroes in the world! How dare he come to the door of my Ji family and shout that he wants to kill people? How arrogant is he?"
In the Ji Family Elders' Hall, the eighth ancestor Ji Boyu said with gritted teeth.
Not far in front of him, the contemporary Saint Master Ji Yuntian also had a livid face and said in a gloomy tone: "If I had known this would happen, I should have used whatever means to assassinate him!"
The other people in the hall had complicated expressions. Some were resentful, some were helpless, but there were also some who looked indifferent and indifferent.
There were even some who gloated and laughed secretly.
Such a big family has so many complicated factions, and the infighting between them is no less intense than that of the secular royal family. They often compete with each other and even fight with each other.
Just like Ji Biyue back then, who had hunted Ji Ziyue unscrupulously.
It is for this reason that the Ji brothers and sisters were so indifferent to Chai Xin's revenge on the Ji family.
No matter how kind their character is, as monks, they will never be stupid enough to plead for mercy for those who want to kill them.
What's more, such a plea would create a great enemy for oneself.
"For the sake of Emperor Xukong, I will only kill these 117 people today. However, if you are unwilling to hand them over, don't blame me for being merciless and killing them."
Chai Xin stood in front of the Ji family mountain gate, and his voice became increasingly cold.
The countless battles and repeated escapes from death objectively promoted his growth, but they were also undoubtedly a deep hatred.
He couldn't do it as easily as Ye Fan did in the original novel!
It's not that he doesn't have tolerance in his heart, but that's for his relatives and friends, not for those enemies who once wanted to kill him!
As Confucius on Earth said -
"How can you repay kindness with kindness? Repay grievances with justice, and repay kindness with kindness!"
Chai Xin was never stingy towards those who had helped him, such as the Jiang family, Wanchu Holy Land, Taixuan Sect, and the seniors of the demon clan.
Whether it is cultivation resources, life-extending elixirs, or magical weapons and Taoist tools, he supplies them all!
This is because there is affection between them. Others treat him Chai Xin with kindness, so of course he, Chai Xin, must repay them with kindness!
Even Elder Li Ying, who had accepted him and Zhang Ziling as disciples, had now entered the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm thanks to his use of resources!
It should be known that it was extremely difficult for Li Ying to reach the other shore realm in the beginning, but she was able to cultivate to the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm in more than 20 years, which was something she could not even dream of!
Of course, it’s not just Chai Xin’s credit. The resources Zhang Ziling invested may not be as much as him, but he put in more effort.
Zhang Ziling brought Li Ying to the sacred place of Yaochi, and always treated her with great respect and care.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Zhang Ziling is now more like Li Ying's master, giving her the techniques and guidance when necessary...
I have said so much just to make it clear that Chai Xin is not a person who kills indiscriminately, but he is a person who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment and never blurs the line.
Although the Jiang family and Yaoguang had done some excessive things to him, they did not openly seek revenge on him because of Jiang Taixu who had done him a favor and Weiwei who had led him to the path of Taoism.
Of course, the Jiang family and Yaoguang were also very capable and had already secretly cleaned up those who had targeted Chai Xin.
Only the Ji family not only failed to clean up the culprits, but also never apologized to Chai Xin!
On the contrary, Ji Haoyue and Ji Ziyue were very wise and apologized to him many times in private.
In fact, this matter is easy to understand. After all, the current Holy Lord Ji Yuntian, who is in power, has personally attacked Chai Xin and even mobilized the imperial army.
How could he deal with himself and thank the world?
In this case, for the sake of so-called authority and his own life, he had no choice but to refuse to admit his mistakes and to cover up for all those "accomplices" back then.
"Chai Xin, I respect you for being the second ancestor of the Jiang family, but you must also respect yourself! This is my Ji family's territory, how dare you come here and fight and kill us? If you don't retreat, don't blame me for bringing out the Void Mirror!"
After a long time, Ji Yuntian finally mustered up the courage and walked out of the Hall of Elders.
Behind him, Ji Boyu was there, and there were also a dozen old men with snow-white hair, all of whom had gloomy expressions and a bit of fear.
"Please give me the Void Mirror?"
Chai Xin smiled coldly, his eyes flashing like lightning, and he raised his hand lightly, and the Hengyu Divine Furnace immediately appeared in his palm.
"Do you think I dare to come here without any preparation? If those old seniors of the Ji family really don't understand the situation and insist on protecting you rotten termites, I will have no choice but to be presumptuous for once!"
It's the end of the month. If you still have monthly tickets, you might as well vote for Muchen. Thank you!
