Chapter 49: The Virtuous Wife Supports My Ambition to Reach the Clouds; I Carry My Wife to Step on the Blue Clouds

The Demon Race's plan is, for the time being, unknown to anyone.

As far as the Tianxuan Continent is concerned, the last time the Demon Race ran rampant was ten thousand years ago.

Ever since the Demon Race was beaten back by the Human Race's Great Emperors and their powerhouses were buried, Tianxuan has not been troubled by the Demon Race.

And that place also formed the most terrifying Shanggu Zhanchang.

Countless remains of Immortals and the corpses of the Demon Race fell in the Shanggu Zhanchang, forcibly turning that place into a grand formation of baleful energy that no one can enter!

The bloody lesson of the Demon Race is still there.

No one would even think about the possibility of the Demon Race invading again.

No one.

Especially since the current powerhouses of the Human Race have almost all set their sights on the upcoming auction in Wanren City.

Life-Extending Pill! Demon-Eliminating Pill! Two types of pills that every cultivator is bound to go crazy for.

If they were to fall into the hands of a single faction, it might be enough to overturn the situation on the Tianxuan Continent.

And right now, the person controlling them happens to be a super family that does not associate with any faction.

Wanren City, the Lu Family!

The people of Dongzhou are in an uproar, and apart from Zhong Zhou, the other continents are all using their own paths to find ways to enter Dongzhou.

There are only two goals.

Befriend Lu Ren and obtain the pills or the Pill Formula.

Or...

Kill Lu Ren, wipe out the Lu Family, and obtain the Pill Formula!...

Qingyun Sect.

It is still the familiar Luoyun Secret Realm, and the familiar old man, eyes closed, sitting quietly like a withered tree, unmoved by anything in the world.

A footstep entering this place makes the old man's eyelids tremble slightly.

Then, Qingyizi slowly opens his eyes, looks calmly at the person who disturbed him, and speaks a few words.

"Ji Han, you shouldn't have come."

"I have said that I will not help you again, and I will certainly not help the Qingyun Sect again."

Ji Han is none other than the Sect Master of the Qingyun Sect!

He looks at Qingyizi with a complex expression, and after a moment of silence, he moves slowly.

First, one of his feet steps back.

Then, he lifts his robe.

"Thump!"

If anyone were here, their eyes would surely pop out in shock!

The dignified Sect Master of the Qingyun Sect, whom some cannot even get a glimpse of, whose strength is unfathomable and immeasurable, who has never revealed himself before others, a powerhouse firmly seated in the top hundred of the Thousand-Year Ranking...

At this moment, he is actually kneeling!

He kneels on both knees, kowtowing in silence; the moment his head hits the ground heavily, it is held firmly by a massive force, making it impossible to touch the ground.

Qingyizi's eyes are wide open, staring coldly at Ji Han, his tone even more chilling.

"Get out!!"

One sentence, one word.

It contains immense pressure and force; the roar directly shakes the unprepared Ji Han until his internal organs bleed.

Yet Ji Han remains motionless, maintaining the kowtowing posture, his voice hoarse: "I beg the Ancestor to come out of seclusion and help my Qingyun Sect once more!"

Before Qingyizi can speak, he presses his head down harder and shouts at the top of his lungs.

"I only ask you to help my Qingyun Sect one last time; after this, I, Ji Han, will definitely not interfere with any of your affairs..."

"Father!"

Qingyizi's originally furious expression calms down in an instant.

It is as if a basin of cold water had been poured over boiling hot water.

He slowly narrows his eyes.

"You, have you thought it through?"

Ji Han lifts his head bitterly and nods forcefully, "I have thought it through, I beg you to act."

The moment the word 'father' is uttered, it signifies that the bond between father and son is completely severed.

Qingyizi gazes at his son, his aged face devoid of any expression.

The past is not worth looking back on; ever since he changed his name to Qingyizi, he gave Ji Han three chances. Each chance could be used to have him help with one thing.

Ji Han has already used the first two chances.

The third chance was Ji Han begging him to guard the Luoyun Secret Realm.

Even though Qingyizi knew that Ji Han was trying to bind him completely to the Qingyun Sect, he agreed.

And now...

This is the fourth time.

It is the final chance, obtained by using their father-son bond as leverage.

Ji Han lowers his head, not daring to look into Qingyizi's eyes at all.

He says hurriedly: "The Lu Family of Wanren City, the Lu Ren you let go that day, holds the Life-Extending Pill and the Demon-Eliminating Pill in his hands; my Qingyun Sect must possess at least one of those Pill Formulas."

"I earnestly hope the Ancestor will help."

There is a hint of resentment in his words.

If Qingyizi hadn't let Lu Ren go that day, perhaps he could have forced Lu Ren to voluntarily trade the Pill Formula for a chance at survival, and there would have been no need to offend Ming Zhen.

Now look at the mess.

Lu Ren was let go.

Ming Zhen, blinded by rage, wanted to rush out and fight Lu Ren to the death, but was instead injured and suppressed by Qingyizi.

The Pill Formula was not obtained either.

It is all to blame...

Tsk! Ji Han dared not dwell on it and hurriedly dismissed the thoughts in his mind.

But how could he have known that an ancestor like Qingyizi could see through what you were thinking with just a single thought or a micro-expression?

A long time passed.

Ji Han could only feel a chill running down his spine.

He had no idea how much time had passed.

Only then did he hear the sound of fabric rubbing, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw two cloth shoes walking past him one after the other.

In his ears was the voice left behind by Qingyizi, calm and without a ripple.

"Agreed."

"I grant your request, Sect Master Ji."

"From now on, grievances are settled, and affection is completely extinguished..."

A sudden surge of panic welled up in Ji Han's heart.

But he forcibly suppressed it and comforted himself.

Nothing will happen.

As long as he can obtain one of the formulas, the Qingyun Sect will be on the verge of becoming a top-tier sect; by then, he will not need to look at anyone's face to act, and perhaps the ancestor will have a change of heart and realize that his decision was correct.

Yes! That's right!

That is exactly it!

At the foot of the Qingyun Sect mountain.

Qingyizi slowly turned his head and glanced at the stone tablet of the Qingyun Sect.

On it, the three large characters "Qingyun Sect" were written vividly and with wild, sweeping strokes, full of sharpness and arrogance; one could faintly see the appearance of the person who wrote these three characters back then, full of ambition and a spirit of progress.

He looked back at the plaque of the Qingyun Sect, and before his eyes, he could still see that woman laughing happily back then.

"Let's call it the Qingyun Sect!"

"A virtuous wife supports my lofty ambitions, and I shall walk the blue clouds with my wife; when our Qingyun Sect prospers, you must not forget this virtuous wife of yours, hee hee!"

"If we have a son, let's call him Ji Han, and if we have a daughter, let's call her Ji Shuang—'a single sword brings frost and cold to fourteen continents.' Hey, Ji Shisi, you old blockhead, are you listening to me?"

"..."

All the events of the past have become like smoke passing before one's eyes.

Qingyizi slowly turned his head, gently stroked the exquisite bone pendant on his neck, and walked toward the direction of Wanren City like an ordinary old man, one step at a time, never looking back again.

If Ji Han thought that he was about to undergo Ascension and used their final father-son bond to force him to do things for the Qingyun Sect, then he was gravely mistaken!

Beyond the Emperor Realm is not Ascension! To ascend at the Emperor Realm is certain death! Although Ming Zhen was suppressed by him, he could also resolve the baleful energy in Ming Zhen's heart.

What a pity!

What a pity!

From now on, perhaps there will be no more Qingyun.
