Chapter 1352: The Bai Family's Scheme, Huang Longji Leaves the Ancestral Hall

The Huang family's ancestral hall.

Huang Longji was sealed here, with people watching all around; he could not leave and had no contact with the outside world.

Inside and outside the ancestral hall, guards were posted, and a formation sealed it; as a crippled person, he could not escape even with wings.

People watched him inside and out; he could go nowhere, only able to wait for death.

This was Huang Yan's punishment of him, and all Huang Yan could currently do; perhaps he lacked the ruthlessness to take that step, otherwise Huang Longji would have been killed long ago, why keep him until now?

At night above the ancestral hall, a figure approached silently; he lurked for a while, found a gap, and soundlessly passed through the formation into the hall, where Huang Longji was kneeling on the ground, paying respects to the Huang family's ancestors.

That figure slowly descended, condensing from black qi, gradually becoming clear; he stood behind Huang Longji, gazing at this hunched silhouette, emitting a decadent aura—this failed man, still alive now, was already very fortunate.

Huang Longji's body stirred; he rose, turned, and glanced at the figure before him—a vague shape formed of black qi, repulsive, its aura making him deeply dislike it.

"Bai Family Second Elder, I don't know why you have come to see me."

His tone was calm, his gaze plain, making no ripples; he seemed unafraid of this person before him, not worried that he had come to kill him, and Huang Longji simply stared.

That plain gaze gave the Second Elder a jolt; even though Huang Longji had failed and fallen into obscurity, he remained just as before, his eyes holding no self, or rather, he had never regarded this person as an enemy.

That kind of gaze made the Second Elder thoroughly dislike him.

"Huang Longji, you, a failure, dare to look at this Elder with that gaze? Look at yourself now—a living failure, only able to linger among these rotten tablets."

"If I were you, even in death I would not resign myself to staying here."

"As the Family Head of the illustrious Huang family, to fall to such a state—tsk tsk."

Mockery, contempt, disdain.

The Bai Family Second Elder, the Guixin Elder, spoke venomously; his gaze too was full of contempt.

At this moment, Huang Longji truly did not deserve a second glance from him.

"Guixin Second Elder, you didn't come to the Huang family ancestral hall just to mock me, did you? If so, you may go back."

The Guixin Second Elder's pupils contracted, then he laughed.

"Hahaha, Huang Longji, Huang Longji, this Elder will now point you to a path; if you are willing, I can help you restore your cultivation and leave the ancestral hall to return to the Huang family."

Huang Longji was not overly excited, but coldly asked: "What must I give?"

"Clap clap." The Guixin Second Elder applauded, saying: "Chatting with you is truly pleasant; I can give you anything you want, but I want Huang Yan."

"Huang Yan?" Huang Longji narrowed his eyes, musing: "Did that brat Huang Yan offend your Bai family, prompting you, the Bai Family Second Elder, to come personally? It seems my son has done something remarkable, worth your coming to disgust him."

"You only want Huang Yan? What else?"

That demand is too simple.

Huang Longji is no fool; there must be some hidden motive.

"This Elder only wants that person, Huang Yan, alive—not a corpse." The Guixin Second Elder reiterated.

Only a living Huang Yan has value, from whom he can obtain opportunity.

Huang Longji stared at him and extended his right hand: "All right."

If it is this, he can agree.

Hearing this, the Guixin Second Elder burst into laughter: "Hahaha, Huang Longji, you are a smart person; I greatly admire you."

"Drop your resistance, and this Elder will now help you restore your cultivation."

"Tsk tsk tsk."

The Guixin Second Elder's body turned into black qi, entering Huang Longji's body; the next moment, Huang Longji's body was enveloped by black qi, and immediately a wave of true qi burst forth within him.

The true qi surged, the black qi spread, instantly enveloping the entire ancestral hall.

After half an hour, Huang Longji regained his cultivation; his body and eyes were filled with black qi.

Everything about him turned into black true qi.

"Ghost qi?"

"Guixin Second Elder, you actually cultivate ghost dao techniques; the rumor is true."

"This person is no pushover; this time he will certainly not be simple."

Huang Longji clenched his fists; he would return to the Huang family, take revenge, and reclaim everything that was his.

This time, he could not possibly fail.

As for the Guixin Second Elder, he didn't care; that person wanting to control him was just dreaming.

"Creak—"

The door opened; Huang Longji walked out—the formation could not restrict him, nor could it stop him.

The guards outside watching him all retreated, staring at Huang Longji in fear.

Huang Longji stared at them, saying nothing; merely his gaze made them dare not act.

Huang Longji walked forward; the people who had come to surround him froze in place, not daring to act or advance.

"Have they come?"

He raised his head, gazing into the distance, and sensed Huang Yan's aura.

There were also two unfamiliar auras; he glanced at these people and said lowly: "Scram."

Those guards all withdrew, not daring to surround him again, nor wanting to die.

Moments later.

Three figures descended; Huang Yan and Chen Qinglian landed together, Huang Yan smiling, his gaze fixed on Huang Longji's silhouette; that black aura made him very dislike it.

"Senior Brother Haoyang, it seems you were right again—they really would act on the ancestral hall side? And they even released my father—tsk tsk."

Huang Yan saw Huang Longji, his face relaxed, not looking like he faced a formidable foe.

Qi Haoyang smiled: "Within the Huang family, aside from him threatening you, who else could threaten your junior brother's status?"

"Moreover, this person can still restore his cultivation; it seems the Bai family also has capable people."

"Junior brother, can you handle this?"

Huang Yan nodded lightly: "No problem, he just recovered some cultivation, not fully recovered yet, and even if he did recover his cultivation, he'd be merely outwardly strong but inwardly weak."

Chen Qinglian teased: "Junior brother, you'd better be careful, this person's aura is not simple."

"Senior Brother Qinglian, I know." Huang Yan heard the words, nodded slightly, he naturally could see it.

Walking forward, he faced his father again; his cultivation had partially recovered, but in a short time it was impossible to fully recover.

As for Huang Yan, his strength advanced rapidly; not long ago, he advanced to the first level of True Destiny, how could he fear this father before him?

"Huang Longji, you sinner, still dare to walk out of the ancestral hall? Do you know what this act signifies?"

Huang Yan pointed at Huang Longji and shouted angrily: "Grandfather ordered you to atone in the ancestral hall, yet you dare to sneak out—do you really think I wouldn't dare kill you?"
