Chapter 129: What blood ties? It is nothing more than being driven by profit!

After hearing Jiang Che's warning, Luo Shuiyan and the others all became alert.

"Who could it possibly be, showing up at a time like this?"

"Why would a Nine-Star Venerable-level Beast Master with such formidable strength come looking for us?"

One must know that an old monster at the Nine-Star Venerable level possesses strength that is far from ordinary.

Such a powerhouse is absolutely not on the same level as Yin Zhong or the Qi Family brothers.

One must understand that in the path of cultivation, the further one progresses, the more the gap between each level becomes like a natural chasm, difficult to cross.

Even those supreme geniuses or powerhouses with many extraordinary methods can at most only fight across a few levels.

A Nine-Star Venerable is a top-tier powerhouse just one step away from entering the Saint level! Their strength is terrifyingly immense; even in the Imperial Capital, they are at the peak.

Even if ten Yin Zhongs came, they might not be a match for a powerhouse of this level.

Fortunately, everyone had already returned to Tianque Academy.

With the Saint-level Elder Guo presiding, Luo Shuiyan and the others were not worried about their safety.

They were just very curious about who this person appearing now could be. High up in the distant sky, Elder Guo was conversing with that mysterious powerhouse.

"I have truly troubled you with the care you've provided during this time, Elder Guo."

As he spoke, this mysterious old man thanked Elder Guo very politely.

Then, Elder Guo waved his hand and actually did not stop this Nine-Star Venerable-level Beast Master.

When this top powerhouse arrived in the villa's courtyard, Yi Zimeng's expression changed significantly.

Because she was more than familiar with the person slowly descending from the sky.

This Nine-Star Venerable-level Beast Master was none other than the ancestor of the Imperial Capital Yin Family, Yi Zimeng's great-grandfather, and the foundation upon which the Yin Family stood.

"Zimeng, you have truly suffered during this time."

The old man arrived in the courtyard, hurried forward, and looked at Yi Zimeng with a hint of apology on his face, speaking kindly.

"Excuse me, whether I have suffered or not has nothing to do with you."

Facing this great-grandfather of hers, Yi Zimeng showed no mercy, her eyes gradually turning cold.

"Zimeng, I am now aware of the beastly acts that the animal Yin Zhong committed before!"

"He deserves to die for daring to harm his own kin; now, he has received the punishment he deserved..."

"Since the sinner of the past has been executed, Zimeng, why don't you return to the Yin Family with me, your ancestor."

"From now on, you will be the new Head of the Family of the Imperial Capital Yin Family. Rest assured, all kinds of cultivation resources will be prioritized for you, and the Yin Family will do its utmost to cultivate you!"

The Yin Family ancestor did not get angry at Yi Zimeng's attitude; instead, he continued to smile kindly.

Clearly, he already knew that Yin Zhong had died in the Canglan Mountain Range.

And having heard of the brilliant battle records Yi Zimeng had achieved recently, he had come for a sudden visit.

Hearing these words from the Yin Family ancestor, everyone was immediately astonished.

They never expected that the Yin Family ancestor would personally come from the Imperial Capital to invite Yi Zimeng back to be the Head of the Family! One must know that the Yin Family is vast and powerful, one of the Four Great Noble Families of the Imperial Capital.

Everyone did not expect that Yi Zimeng could inherit such a massive family business at her age.

"Heh, I'm truly sorry, but the affairs of the Yin Family have nothing to do with me, and I certainly won't be this Head of the Family."

"Also, my name is Yi Zimeng now!"

Yet, faced with such a great temptation, anyone else would likely be moved.

But Yi Zimeng refused directly without even thinking.

"Zimeng, I know you are sad and resentful in your heart, but no matter what, the blood of my Yin Family flows through you."

"You share blood ties with countless descendants of my Yin Family and are the eldest daughter of the Yin Family. Can you bear to watch the Yin Family gradually decline?" Seeing Yi Zimeng's attitude so cold, the Yin Family ancestor attempted to use blood and family affection to move her.

However, having already lost her closest relatives, Yi Zimeng had long since grown up and was not buying his act at all.

"Heh, you certainly speak in a high-sounding way!"

"Blood ties? When my father and my brother were harmed by treacherous people, did those blood relatives ever reach out to help?"

"They even died at the hands of those so-called blood relatives!"

"Even my escape from the Imperial Capital was because my father's old subordinates protected me with their lives; it had nothing to do with any so-called blood relatives!"

"And you, knowing full well that Yin Zhong committed such beastly acts, you even tacitly allowed him to become the Head of the Family. Did you ever consider our family at all?!"

"Now that you're worried about the Yin Family's decline, you come to find me to return and preside over the family. Your plan is truly well-calculated!"

Yi Zimeng's cold mockery immediately left the Yin Family ancestor feeling deeply ashamed.

He remained silent for a moment, unable to speak.

When Yi Zimeng's father and brother were harmed, he had indeed been furious after coming out of seclusion.

But by then, the matter was already settled, and Yin Zhong was the only hope left for the Yin Family.

If he had dealt with the father-son duo of Yin Zhong and Yin Kou, the Yin Family's strength would have suffered a fracture.

It was even very likely that the entire Yin Family would have been wiped out within a hundred years.

As the ancestor of the Yin Family, he dared not make such a decision.

Furthermore, he initially did not know that Yi Zimeng had escaped during that bloody struggle for power.

Afterward, Yin Zhong told him that Yi Zimeng was already dead.

This also caused the Yin Family ancestor to completely abandon the thought of dealing with Yin Zhong.

After all, no matter what, the Yin Family had to come first.

Considering these things, the Yin Family ancestor did not pursue the power struggle; otherwise, he would have definitely gone out to find Yi Zimeng first.

"Zimeng, I am truly sorry. It is all my fault, your ancestor. I was muddled for a moment. It was that animal Yin Zhong who told me you had already died, and that is why I..."

The Yin Family ancestor still spoke full of apologies.

He knew that he was in the wrong this time, so even with Yi Zimeng's cold attitude, he felt not the slightest dissatisfaction.

"Heh, what family blood ties? What they plot for is nothing more than profit above all else!"

"If Yin Zhong hadn't died, if I hadn't achieved what I have today, how could you possibly have come looking for me?"

The more Yi Zimeng spoke, the angrier she became; the blood feud left her with immense resentment toward the Yin Family in her heart.

It was not just Yin Zhong she hated, but the entire Yin Family that had stood by and watched.

"Zimeng, actually, I think you could accept the position of Head of the Family of the Yin Family."

"These things of the Yin Family were originally your father's; now that Yin Zhong is dead, you should all the more reclaim what belongs to your father."

Luo Shuiyan walked to Yi Zimeng's side at this moment and whispered in her ear.

Yi Zimeng listened to Luo Shuiyan's words more than anyone else's right now; she, who had just been in a fit of rage, began to ponder slightly after hearing Luo Shuiyan's words.

"Moreover, Zimeng, the Imperial Capital Yin Family is one of the Four Great Noble Families of the Imperial Capital; such a massive family must surely control many resources."

"This is very beneficial for our subsequent cultivation."

"I personally feel that for the sake of your father and brother, you should all the more take control of the Yin Family again..."
