Chapter 191: Chapter 189 Crisis

"Father, according to what you say, are we just going to watch Grandfather suffer in the Dragon Abyss Sect?"

"Alas..."

Yi Zhantian sighed, "Then what else can we do?"

"No, I must go rescue Grandfather."

Yi Mu summoned her Flying Sword, leaping onto it, ready to leave.

Yi Zhantian sternly said, "Mumu, if you want our Yi Family to be exterminated, then go ahead."

Yi Mu suddenly remembered what her Master Xiao Yaozi had said, and thought to herself, "Is the Yi Family really at the brink of survival?"

Yi Mu descended from her Flying Sword, eyes red with grievance, "Father, I will not go."

Yi Zhantian turned around and said, "Send the White Jade Arhat to the Jiang Family."

Yi Mu said, "Father, the White Jade Arhat is the only token to join the Dragon Abyss Sect. Are we really going to hand over this opportunity?"

Yi Zhantian turned around and said, "Among the Five Great Cities, our Yi Family has held sole possession of the White Jade Arhat for decades, long causing the other Four Major Families to be dissatisfied. In recent years, our family members in the Dragon Abyss Sect have been suppressed due to your Grandfather’s matter. Do you think we can still keep the White Jade Arhat?"

Yi Mu did not agree, and said, "Father, don’t forget, your daughter has studied under an Immortal Master for ten years and has now reached the Foundation Establishment Stage. We don’t need to fear their family members!"

"Daughter, you still don’t understand. Although your cultivation is unparalleled in the mundane world, do not forget the positions of their ancestors in the Dragon Abyss Sect. If you harm their family members as a Cultivator, not only will your Grandfather’s life be in constant danger, but our Yi Family members will also lose their lives!"

Yi Mu finally understood the consequences of forcefully keeping the White Jade Arhat and, no longer being willful, said, "Father, I know what to do."

Yi Zhantian finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Mumu, accompany your father to deliver the White Jade Arhat to the Jiang Family and apologize to them."

Yi Mu did not expect that retrieving the White Jade Arhat would bring about such disaster. Reluctantly, she followed behind Yi Zhantian toward the Jiang Family...

After leaving the Jiang Family, Yan Rufeng flew towards Cangxuan City. Just as he was about to arrive, he suddenly noticed a group of people ahead, among them, a woman with an unhappy face. Upon closer look, it turned out to be Yi Mu.

Yan Rufeng thought, "Why is Mumu with that group?"

Without overthinking, Yan Rufeng released his Divine Sense to investigate closely.

Along the way, Yi Mu kept mumbling, "Unable to use Sword Flight, such a long journey, who knows when we’ll reach the Jiang Family."

Hearing this, Yan Rufeng wondered, "What is Mumu going to the Jiang Family for?"

Unable to understand, Yan Rufeng decided to follow behind Yi Mu to figure things out.

Three days later, outside the gates of Mujiang City, the Jiang Family, Yi Zhantian approached the guards, cupping his hands and saying, "I am Yi Zhantian, Patriarch of the Yi Family from Cangxuan City. Please inform your Family Head that I have important matters to discuss with him."

The Jiang Family guards returned the salute and said, "Master Yi, please wait a moment. I will notify our Family Head immediately..."

Yan Rufeng listened carefully and, retrieving his Divine Sense, was startled. He thought, "Strange, why does Yi Zhantian look so much like Niuniu’s deceased father? Could it be that Niuniu’s father was reincarnated on Canglong Star? But he only died ten years ago. What’s going on..."

Deep in thought, Yan Rufeng took a long breath and muttered to himself, "It seems I need to visit the Netherworld to find the reason..."

Jiang Yuan, the current Family Head of the Jiang Family, received the news of Yi Zhantian’s visit and greeted him with a smiling face.

"Brother Yi, what brings you here?" Jiang Yuan asked with a smile.

Yi Zhantian was taken aback, "Jiang Yuan, what about your Family Head Jiang Tao?"

"Dead!"

"What, Jiang Tao is dead?" Yi Zhantian said in disbelief.

Jiang Yuan said, "Brother Yi, I, Jiang Yuan, am now the Family Head of the Jiang Family. You can discuss any matters with me."

Yi Zhantian became puzzled, thinking, "What happened to the Jiang Family? How could a servant become the Family Head? This is too unbelievable..."

Having come to make amends for Yi Mu’s theft of the White Jade Arhat, Yi Zhantian’s heart was already anxious, fearing Jiang Tao’s wrath and its consequences. Who knew Jiang Tao was already dead, lightening his burden considerably.

Yi Zhantian managed a faint smile and said, "In that case, Brother Jiang, let’s go inside and discuss."

Jiang Yuan respectfully led Yi Zhantian and his group to the reception hall, where he personally poured tea for them and asked with a smile, "Brother Yi, you can now state your business."

Yi Zhantian never expected Jiang Yuan to act this way, thinking, "What has happened to the Jiang Family? Why does everyone seem so afraid of me? Though Jiang Yuan was once a servant, he is now the Family Head. Why is he so humble before me..."

Yi Zhantian stood and cupped his hands, "Brother Jiang, a few days ago, my young daughter mistakenly took the White Jade Arhat. Upon learning this, I hurried to bring it back to apologize. Please, Brother Jiang, forgive my daughter’s ignorance and youth."

Jiang Yuan became the Family Head of the Jiang Family entirely because of Yan Rufeng, who had said before leaving that anyone harming the Yi Family would face annihilation.

Jiang Yuan never expected Yi Zhantian to bring the White Jade Arhat to apologize, feeling both flattered and fearful of accepting it. He immediately knelt, exclaiming, "Brother Yi, please spare our Jiang Family."

Yi Zhantian was shocked, thinking, "What is going on? Why is Jiang Yuan asking me to spare him?"

"Brother Jiang, please speak while standing!"

Yi Zhantian pulled Jiang Yuan up and asked, "Brother Jiang, can you tell me what exactly is going on?"

"Brother Yi, don’t ask. If I receive the White Jade Arhat today, our Jiang Family will be doomed..."

Of course, Jiang Yuan wouldn’t reveal the truth. With a few simple words to convey his stance, he then pushed Yi Zhantian out. Unaware of the truth, Yi Zhantian insisted on leaving the White Jade Arhat, but Jiang Yuan refused to accept it no matter what. After much difficulty, Jiang Yuan finally managed to see off Yi Zhantian and his daughter...

On the way back, Yi Zhantian plunged into deep thought.

Yi Mu, smiling and carefree, sat on horseback, humming a tune.

Yan Rufeng, concealing his cultivation, continued to follow from a distance.

Suddenly, Yi Zhantian raised his head and asked Yi Mu, "Mumu, do you have anything to do with the Jiang Family’s refusal to accept the White Jade Arhat?"

Yi Mu, feeling wronged, said, "Father, I wanted to ask you the same thing. Why are the Jiang Family members so afraid of us..."
