Situ Yunlei

Of course, the price of being sealed within the Ancestor Coffin is that they can no longer cultivate. They can only slowly die like this, until one day the time slowed by the Dust Blood Stone is no longer enough, and their lives come to an end.

But the benefit is that they can live much longer, giving them more time to protect their families.

Generally, these old relics do not emerge easily, because each time they leave the seal of the Dust Blood Stone, it consumes a lot of lifespan. Moreover, the Dust Blood Stone is very valuable, and small families can hardly afford it.

Unless it reaches the point of annihilation, ordinary people will not easily open the Ancestor Coffin.

"Are you really sure you want to be enemies with my Situ Family?" the First Elder said sternly.

"Situ Mang, your Situ Family will be destroyed today," Wan Cangqiong replied.

"Open the Ancestor Coffin," the First Elder roared, and the black coffin lid was opened bit by bit.

The seal, which had been sealed for decades, finally saw the light of day again.

An invisible aura condensed in the sky, and a sigh came from the coffin, "Has our Situ Family finally reached this point?"

The person in the coffin did not know what was happening outside, but he understood that the moment the Ancestor Coffin was opened, it meant the Situ Family was on the verge of annihilation.

Apart from this reason, the Ancestor Coffin would not be opened under normal circumstances.

"Old Patriarch, we are incompetent. We have not led the family business you passed down to glory, but instead have caused this situation," the First Elder said sorrowfully, kneeling before the Ancestor Coffin.

"Where is Yuntian?" the voice from the coffin sounded again.

"The Patriarch is dead, and the murderer has not yet been found," the First Elder said truthfully.

"Life is like a dream," the person in the coffin sighed.

Then, with a "swish" sound, the coffin lid was completely opened, and an old man with a youthful complexion and white hair walked out.

The old man was wearing a light cyan robe, with many white cloud patterns embroidered on it.

His temples were full of white hair, he was not tall, and his skin was somewhat withered, clinging tightly to his bones.

At first glance, this old man looked like an ordinary elderly person in his twilight years, but his eyes glinted with sharpness, and his aura was like a surging tide, rapidly strengthening.

His aura stabilized at the peak of the True Meridian Realm, almost breaking through to the Empty Meridian Realm before stopping.

Everyone often says the path of martial arts is difficult, As difficult as climbing to the heavens, Each step a heaven.

It is this small barrier between the True Meridian Realm and the Empty Meridian Realm that has trapped the old man before him for his entire life.

In fact, there are many people like the old man. Those who walk alone without the support of major forces and resources, many of them spend their entire lives still hovering in the Condensing Pulse Realm.

"Situ Yunlei?" Wan Cangqiong looked at the old man and asked.

"Youngsters from the Wan Family, and youngsters from the Wang Family, you are all very good," Situ Yunlei said, squinting as he looked at the people surrounding the Situ Family's perimeter.

"Senior Situ, we all respect you, but some things are beyond our choice," Wang Cheng said.

"There's no point in talking too much. My old bones haven't moved in a long time either," Situ Yunlei chuckled heartily, then his aura surged like a rainbow, and he charged directly at Wang Cheng and Wan Cangqiong.

Neither of them dared to be too careless. Although they were all at the peak of the True Meridian Realm, the opponent had been famous for a long time. The two of them attacked Situ Yunlei simultaneously.

"Defend our home, charge!"

The First Elder roared at the disciples behind him and rushed out first.

Then, the disciples of the three families also got into a melee.

Although the Situ Family disciples were brave, they were ultimately outnumbered. Under the combined efforts of the Wang and Wan families, they were pushed back step by step.

Although Situ Yunlei could suppress Wang Cheng and Wan Cangqiong at the beginning, as the battle continued, he was old after all, and his stamina was gradually becoming insufficient.

In this battle, more than half of the Situ Family was destroyed, and bodies were lying around one after another.

Seeing Wang Cangqiong and the other two fighting more fiercely, Situ Yunlei gritted his teeth and became ruthless. Ignoring their attacks, he intended to fight with his life.

He unleashed the Flying Cloud Palm, accumulating thousands of white clouds. An astonishing aura erupted from his palms.

His palms struck the chests of Wan Cangqiong and the other two. The white clouds exploded, and the immense shockwaves scattered all three of them.

Wan Cangqiong and Wang Cheng both spat out a mouthful of blood, and Situ Yunlei was also not lightly injured.

He had just taken a punch and a kick from the two of them. His throat felt sweet. Although he forced himself to swallow the blood, his internal condition was not good. His internal organs churned with pain, and his face was pale.

"Are you still going to fight?" Situ Yunlei straightened his body slightly, his green robe like a gown, his white hair like snow, and asked indifferently.

"Fight," Wan Cangqiong roared, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. Just as he was about to attack again, he was stopped by a voice.

"Everyone, can you calm down first and let me say a few words?" Xu Zimo walked over step by step under everyone's surprised gaze.

The First Elder looked at Xu Zimo and quickly said, "Young Master Xu, I hope you can uphold justice for us."

Wan Cangqiong frowned and looked at Xu Zimo, asking, "Is Young Master Xu representing the Sacred Sect?"

"No, no, no, the Sacred Sect will not interfere in any fair competition," Xu Zimo shook his head. "I represent myself alone."

"What does Young Master Xu mean?" Situ Yunlei pondered for a moment and asked Xu Zimo.

"This is a matter for your three families; it is indeed inconvenient for an outsider like me to interfere," Xu Zimo said with a smile. "However, if your Situ Family is willing to become my personal subordinate force, I can help you through this difficult time."

Upon hearing Xu Zimo's words, Situ Yunlei was stunned. Undoubtedly, this matter would greatly benefit their Situ Family.

They could not only escape the current crisis but also latch onto the powerful Xu Zimo, gain his resources, and then develop and grow stronger.

But the question was, would the Situ Family truly remain the same Situ Family after becoming Xu Zimo's subordinate?

"In addition, I can also help you find the murderer of Situ Yuntian," Xu Zimo continued.

"You know who the murderer is?" Situ Yunlei asked, his eyes flashing with sharp light.

"I naturally wouldn't speak carelessly," Xu Zimo said casually. "I'll give you three minutes to consider. Don't feel too pressured; after all, this is a cooperation based on mutual willingness."

"I agree," Situ Yunlei said. Knowing he had no other choice, he readily and directly agreed.

"Now, can you tell me who murdered Yuntian!"

As soon as Situ Yunlei finished speaking, he saw the three elders of the Situ Family beside him suddenly attack.

With a sword, a punch, and a palm strike, the three of them struck Situ Yunlei. Situ Yunlei didn't even have time to react before he was severely injured.
