Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family

Chapter 241: It seems that this Mr. Han is a true gentleman!

Blackwater Pool, Xiahou Family.

A divine rainbow descended, revealing a middle-aged man clad in a black brocade robe.

”Ancestor.”

The Xiahou clansmen at the entrance bowed respectfully upon seeing their ancestor return.

”Hmm”

Xiahou Wuwo nodded indifferently and entered the Family estate.

”Ancestor, we have just finished the investigation. This woman entered the back mountain of our clan through Xiahou Xuan.”

At this moment, the Xiahou Family Head turned to address their ancestor.

”Xiahou Xuan?”

”For such a grave mistake, death cannot absolve him of his guilt. Cast him into the Blackwater Pool and refine him into a Yin corpse.”
Xiahou Wuwo paused mid-step, then spoke indifferently.

”Yes.”

The Family Head nodded in response.

Xiahou Xuan might be an elite member of the Family,

But for such a serious error, he naturally could not be forgiven.

Moreover, the corpses of the Xiahou Family’s descendants were all refined into Yin corpses upon death, transforming into the foundation of the Family.

He looked towards Xiahou Wuwo, continuing to inquire, “Ancestor, were you able to capture and kill that woman?”

”That girl was rescued by someone from Qingyun Sect, but she was afflicted with my Heavenly Yin Corpse Poison, and the poison reached her heart immediately. She cannot live much longer.”

Xiahou Wuwo spoke in a serious tone as he took a seat in the Family’s grand hall.

”Rescued by Qingyun Sect?”

Just as he finished speaking, a voice devoid of any warmth or emotional fluctuation sounded.

And then,

A bronze coffin burst forth from the depths of the Xiahou estate and landed in the middle of the grand hall.

Within the coffin was a stiff-faced old man with no beard under his chin and ashen-grey skin with dark red eyes.

”Ancestor.”

”Ancestor.”

Upon seeing the coffin’s occupant, both Xiahou Wuwo and the Family Head respectfully bowed.

”Replying to the ancestor, I was just about to kill that girl when a Qingyun Sect Spiritual Vessel arrived and rescued her.”

”However, she has already been struck in the heart by corpse poison and surely cannot live long.”

Xiahou Wuwo explained.

”This girl’s appearance in our Xiahou Family suggests that Qingyun Sect has long suspected our family of dealing with the Demon Path.”

”Now that she has encountered trouble within our Blackwater Pool territory, our Xiahou Family cannot be separated from this affair, whether she dies or not.” ṟἁℕȪꞖÈS̩

Xiahou Jie spoke in a chilling and uncanny voice.

After speaking, he turned to the Family Head and commanded, “Wu Xu, now discreetly send some of the direct descendants out of Jiang Country and into Yue Country and Jin Kingdom.”

”Yes, ancestor.”

The Family Head immediately answered.

”Ancestor, is this really necessary?”

”The Sect Master and the Five Poisons Cult Leader will soon challenge Li Duanxuan.”

”As long as Li Duanxuan is defeated, once the Jin Kingdom’s army invades Jiang Country, with our internal support and their external assault, our Xiahou Family can achieve great things.”

”At that time, the Sect Master might even bestow the subsequent Cultivation Techniques and the method to create elixirs, helping you advance even further, ancestor!”

Xiahou Wuwo spoke up.

”The subsequent Cultivation Techniques, another step further.”

Xiahou Jie’s ashen and uncanny face gave a cold sneer that was frightful to behold.

His descendants were not aware of the inner workings of the Heavenly Corpse Sect, he had come out from the Heavenly Corpse Sect, not knowing what was happening within his own sect.

He spoke with a cold and authoritative voice, “Li Duanxuan has dominated Jiang Country for five hundred years, and upon breaking through to Nascent Soul True Lord, he slew a Fourth Rank Demon King.”

”Now his strength is unfathomable. It would not be easy for the Sect Master of the Heavenly Corpse Sect and the Five Poisons Cult Leader to repel this killer star.”

”Even if the Heavenly Corpse Sect Master and the Five Poisons Cult Leader could drive Li Duanxuan back, an invasion by Jin Kingdom would take years, if not decades.”

”If Qingyun Sect’s army presses upon us before that, how can our Xiahou Family hold out until that day arrives?”

Xiahou Jie’s voice was chilling as he spoke.

”Ancestor, since it’s like this, why don’t we abandon Blackwater Pool outright?”

Xiahou Wuwo, with a grave expression, said to his ancestor.

”Abandon Blackwater Pool.”

Xiahou Jie’s ashen face was as rigid as metal, with dark evil Qi flowing from his nostrils and mouth, like tiny snakes.

”Once we abandon Blackwater Pool, where can our Xiahou Family go?”

”Once it is confirmed that we’ve colluded with the Demon Path, leaving Jiang Country would be a wild and foolish dream.”

”By that time, the Heavenly Corpse Sect in Jin Kingdom would also view us as traitors, leaving no place for our Xiahou Family.”

”Furthermore, I have transformed myself into ‘The Dark Demon Corpse’, and now my life force and mana are connected to the veins of Blackwater Pool, making it impossible for me to leave this place.”

Xiahou Jie’s voice was icy, with surging evil Qi all around him.

He saw Xiahou Wuwo’s troubled expression and said, with an unfluctuating voice, “Don’t worry, it won’t be easy for Qingyun Sect to destroy our Xiahou Family here at Blackwater Pool. They would need to pay a heavy price.”

”As long as we hold out until the Heavenly Corpse Sect and the Five Poisons Cult drive back Li Duanxuan, the crises facing our Xiahou Family will also be resolved.”

”Now that Qingyun Sect has discovered our relations with the Heavenly Corpse Sect, there is no need to hide any longer. Convert the Family’s Great Formation into the Ten Thousand Corpses Mysterious Yin Formation!”

Xiahou Jie continued.

”Yes, ancestor.”

Both of them nodded in response.

Knowing that their ancestor was sending the direct bloodline out of Jiang Country as a precaution.

And now that things had come to this point, the Xiahou Family had no other choice.

…

On the third floor of the Spiritual Vessel, in a luxurious guest room.

”True Immortal, the poison within Fairy Qing Yi is extremely domineering. It has already invaded her heart meridians. I am powerless to help.”

A woman in green garments cautiously reported after examining Chu Qingyi’s condition on the bed.

”Hmm, you’ve worked hard.”

Chiyun True Immortal’s face showed a trace of disappointment.

She also knew that the poison in Chu Qingyi’s body was extremely tough and difficult to handle.

Otherwise, as a False Core Immortal, she wouldn’t need to seek help on a Spiritual Vessel, asking others to save Chu Qingyi.

This was a situation with no other solution.

Looking at Chu Qingyi, lying there with chaotic and weak breaths.
