Ancestor Mo's Six Hundredth Birthday
The person had not arrived, only their voice could be heard.
It was like a silent abyss, about to overturn the heavens and the earth.
Qian Kongye felt a chill run down his spine, and then he saw a golden streak of light fall from the sky, transforming into a simple letter that landed in his hand.
Looking at the letter in his hand, Qian Kongye felt a sudden relief from the pressure and quickly bowed, saying, "I am Qian Kongye, greetings, senior."
"I have also heard of True Person Mo's fame, which resounds throughout the six kingdoms."
At the Dark Ink Mountain, divine light filled the sky, and celestial mist swirled around. A gentle voice rang out. "Since True Person Mo's six hundredth birthday is approaching, then I should naturally pay him a visit."
"This is my formal invitation. Since you are True Person Mo's disciple, please deliver this to True Person Mo."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qian Kongye breathed a huge sigh of relief.
He had been fooled when this being had spared him; he had assumed this Golden Core True Person was about to kill him.
It turned out to be an overreaction; the senior didn't intend to kill him, but merely wanted him to deliver a letter.
"This senior's aura is no less than that of my master; his strength is probably among the strongest in the Golden Core realm."
"For a top-tier Golden Core realm like him, even ordinary Golden Core realm cultivators would have to fawn over him. With my mere Purple Mansion cultivation, there's no reason for him to bully me. The fact that he asked me to deliver a letter is only out of respect for my master."
With this in mind, Qian Kongye felt slightly reassured.
He carefully put the letter away, bowed solemnly, and said, "Thank you, senior. I will personally deliver this letter."
Go ahead.
At the Dark Ink Mountain, the brilliant celestial light subsided.
The various Lineage hidden in the shadows were terrified and scattered in all directions. In an instant, the news that the Chen Clan had acquired a Golden Core realm expert was also spread.
No one could have imagined that the Chen Clan would suddenly have dealings with a Golden Core realm ancestor. However, the countless cultivators who had been kicking them while they were down were now terrified and began to search for information everywhere, trying to find out what had happened to the Chen Clan.
At the summit, Chen Nianzhi and the Qi Chen Clan looked at the three figures before them with immense joy.
The leader was a man dressed in white, with a tall and slender figure.
He was dressed in white, his long black hair held up by a white jade hair crown, like a banished immortal descending to earth, his charisma unparalleled.
They didn't recognize this person, but they did recognize Chen Xuhuan and Chen Xuling beside him.
The group quickly realized what was happening and their faces lit up with joy. Old Ancestor Chen hurriedly stepped forward and said, "This old man greets the True Person."
"No need for such formalities."
Chen Nianzhi helped him up. Although their blood ties were quite distant, judging from his age, this person was probably of a higher generation than the Old Clan Leader, so he didn't put on airs.
Not far away, Nianchuan and Chen Xianye landed and nodded slightly.
"Quickly prepare tea," Old Master Chen instructed, then quickly stood up and said, "Please follow me."
"True Person have saved my Qi Chen Clan from dire straits; I am eternally grateful."
The group ascended to an elegant pavilion atop the mountain, where Old Ancestor Chen personally poured Chen Nianzhi a cup of tea.
This spiritual tea is only of the Tier 2. Although it is the best spiritual tea of the Qi Chen Clan, it is still too meager to serve Golden Core True Person cultivator.
Old Ancestor Chen understood this as well, and said somewhat awkwardly, "This spiritual tea is of poor quality; I'm sorry to have embarrassed True Person."
"It's alright."
Chen Nianzhi shook her head. Compared to the Chen Clan's Heaven-and-Earth Spirit Tea, this Tier 2 spirit tea was indeed rather meager.
However, he was not a picky person, and he had not come here to drink tea. He glanced at the scenery in the mountains and said with a smile.
"This Dark Ink Mountain is shrouded in ethereal mist, with pavilions and towers scattered in a well-ordered and elegant manner. It is truly a rare Spirit Mountain blessed land in the mortal world."
"True Person flatter me, Master. We have managed Dark Ink Mountain for eight hundred years, and this is the only thing we can praise."
Old Master Chen smiled slightly, but there was also a hint of self-satisfaction in his expression.
Realizing he was easy to talk to, the Chen Clan family members relaxed and boldly began to recount the experiences of the Qi Chen Clan over the years.
Chen Nianzhi listened quietly. The Qi Chen Clan was not doing well. Although Ancestor Mo did not pursue the matter of that year, the Chen Clan was not well received by the immortal clan of Bright Province.
Back then, our ancestor Chen Xuanyuan fled to the Chu Kingdom because of the Ancestor Mo. Now that the Chen Clan of Qingyuan Mountain has prospered, it is time to settle the score for what happened back then.
Thinking of this, Chen Nianzhi calmly said, "Then I will naturally go and meet with Ancestor Mo."
"As for your Karmic Retribution in the Qi Kingdom, let Xian Ye and Nianchuan handle those who took advantage of your misfortune during this time."
"Thank you, Ancestor."
"..."
Bright Province, the Ink River Mountains.
As the only Tier 4 Spirit Vein in Bright Province, the Ink River Mountains are occupied by the renowned Golden Core realm cultivator, Ancestor Mo, from the Qi Kingdom.
At this moment, in a cave atop the Ink River Mountains, the Ancestor Mo looked at the letter in his hand and smiled slightly.
"So it was the sword immortal of the Chu Kingdom. Chen Xuanyuan has truly produced a fine descendant."
"Master, did he really come here to offer birthday wishes?"
Right in front of Ancestor Mo, Qian Kongye asked, his face somewhat pale.
Ancestor Mo shook his head, his face somewhat melancholy, and said, "He came here not only to offer birthday wishes, but also to get revenge."
"Back then, Chen Xuanyuan's defeat was simply due to his inferior skills, and I never pursued the matter with the Chen Clan family, so he most likely won't cause trouble because of it."
"But you have ostracized the Qi Chen Clan for many years, so he has to make us compensate the Qi Chen Clan for the losses we have suffered over the years."
Hearing this, Qian Kongye gritted his teeth and said somewhat unwillingly, "The decline of the Chen Clan family is ultimately due to insufficient strength. We, Mo Chuan Shan, have never wronged them."
"As for the Beast Turmoil, which immortal clan in our Qi Kingdom hasn't suffered casualties? If we were to truly investigate, the Chen Clan would have been wiped out long ago."
"No need to say anything more."
Ancestor Mo shook his head, looking at him intently. "I haven't interfered in the feuds between the various immortal clans of Bright Province for many years."
"But you really didn't get involved?"
Qian Kongye's heart trembled. Although his master did not pursue the Chen Clan, it was an indisputable fact that he had secretly allowed other immortal clans to seize the Chen Clan's property.
However, as a disciple, he wanted to avenge his master's actions back then, so Ancestor Mo turned a blind eye.
Seeing that Qian Kongye remained silent, Ancestor Mo sighed, "Chen Nianzhi may possess the potential of Nascent Soul True Lord. Unless absolutely necessary, we should not make him our mortal enemy."
"Moreover, we are all of the Ji Continent Human Race, and we may need to help each other in the future. We cannot blindly suffer losses in internal strife."
"Chen Nianzhi sent you with this visiting card, she must have the same idea. So before a blood feud develops, have someone take stock of the Chen Clan's losses over the years."
"I'll meet with Chen Nianzhi, but I'm afraid we'll have to fight to resolve this grudge. Whatever the outcome, you should make up for the losses they suffered back then."
"This..."
Qian Kongye's expression changed, but seeing the resolute look on Ancestor Mo, he still nodded.
"I see."
"..."
