Chapter 881: Chapter 732: See Again the Power of Misfortune!

"Let’s get to the point, what exactly is the situation?" After a moment, the three took their seats, and Wang Zijia went straight to the topic.

Yao Wenxuan and Zhu Qi exchanged a glance, with Zhu Qi speaking first, "According to the records of Taiching, there is a Nine Times Seven Aperture Bifurcated Flower with a known origin. Excluding those that were confirmed to be devoured on the spot or completely used up, five occurrences were obtained by various clans."

"In the past half-year, I have been investigating these five clans, through both overt and covert visits, determining that two of them most likely no longer have it."

"Of the remaining three, all direct lines of Taiching, they straightforwardly said they didn’t have it, the refusal obvious. With only half a year since my arrival in Taiching, I couldn’t pursue it any further."

"And now, suddenly, there’s news of an elixir with one of the three clans that denied having it and clearly refused!"

After Zhu Qi finished speaking, she looked towards Yao Wenxuan, who drained the tea in his hand, slowly placed the cup down, and then continued:

"It’s rather coincidental. Previously, Sister Zhu Qi and I were both known for seeking out Spiritual Objects. But since I’ve been preparing to become immortal for the past six months, I handed all the materials to Sister Zhu Qi."

"Then, not long after my ascension, a branch of the Deng family took the initiative to contact me, wanting to use a Seven Apertures Clearing Pill as a bribe to get me to do them a favor."

"The task was quite troublesome, but it seemed worth the attempt."

"I had already agreed, but unfortunately, the other party encountered problems when retrieving the pill, causing the other two branches of the Deng family to disagree, and the deal fell through."

"Afterward, we tried many methods, but the situation only worsened. In the last few days, it seemed like the three factions of the Deng family were on the brink of coming to blows!"

Wang Zijia: "......"

’I seriously suspect that it was originally just a minor conflict, and it’s because of you that things escalated to this state. After all, why didn’t the three factions have any issues before?’

Thoughts flashed through Wang Zijia’s mind, but on the surface, he frowned and said, "The Deng family?"

Upon hearing this, Yao Wenxuan flipped his hand, projecting a phantasm light screen filled with information about the Deng family.

The Deng family was originally one of the core clans of Taiching Palace.

Their Patriarch, Deng Jiuxin, was a genius figure of the Era of Spiritual Qi Revival in the Sixth Era, rising to power with his Ghost Control.

In that grand yet chaotic era, he made his way step by step, gaining considerable fame.

He ultimately ascended as a Profound Immortal, his name renowned throughout Shen Hong.

Leveraging his Divine Powers of soul control, white bones, and earth escape, he became a Celestial Immortal and one of the leading Big Shots of Taiching.

If nothing had gone wrong, he would have undoubtedly become a Profound Immortal!

And a Profound Immortal in the Sixth Era was among the top echelons of power.

In an era where beings of the Saint Third Realm seldom appeared, such an existence was naturally unparalleled in prominence.

Regrettably, he drew the attention of a Foreigner in an inter-world campaign due to being too conspicuous, and they cornered and killed him, not even leaving his ashes behind!

He fell before he could fully achieve Profound Immortality.

The Deng family were the descendants of Deng Jiuxin.

After the Patriarch’s death, although the clan didn’t produce any more geniuses, they still had Earth Immortals among them.

Furthermore, with Deng Jiuxin’s close friend, the Fire Spirit Ancestor ascending to Profound Immortality, wielding the Samadhi True Fire that dominated a palace, becoming one of the rulers of Taiching,

with such connections, although the Deng family declined, they remained one of the core clans.

That’s also why Zhu Qi couldn’t forcefully do anything to them.

The cause of this incident was internal strife within the Deng family.

Since the death of Deng Jiuxin, there were no more immortals in the direct line, and the two remaining Earth Immortals were from the side branches.

This led to the clan splintering into three factions, constantly fighting among themselves!

......

It was a member of the direct line of the Deng family who approached Yao Wenxuan, attempting to use the Seven Apertures Clearing Pill for an opportunity to enter the Fire Spirit Palace of Taiching.

The master of Fire Spirit Palace, the Fire Spirit Ancestor, has already legitimately ascended to Profound Immortality, the very close friend of Deng Jiuxin.

Although there was some remaining kindness, after tens of thousands of years, it’s a bit long even for immortals, and the bond had naturally weakened.

This member of the Deng family’s direct line wanted to send someone into Fire Spirit Palace, either to become a child attendant or a disciple, to reinforce this relationship and revive the family’s fortunes.

There wouldn’t have been a problem if only they hadn’t sought Yao Wenxuan, this jinx.

Things initially went smoothly, but when they went to retrieve the pill from the clan library, they ran into a younger generation Earth Immortal from another branch of the Deng family. This person also had aspirations of ascension and had long considered the last Seven Apertures Clearing Pill in the clan library his own.

Afterward, the two factions naturally clashed, and long-held grudges erupted.

The situation blew up, and the third faction, upon discovering the direct line’s intentions with Fire Spirit Palace, also emerged, wanting to offer their pill to enter the Fire Spirit Palace, stealing the direct line’s opportunity to take control.

Then, the three factions, which had barely maintained a semblance of peace, exploded into chaos.

In the last few days, from hearing that they even started to take up arms, it’s evident how fierce the fighting has become.

......

After Wang Zijia understood the whole situation, there was a period of silence.

Then, turning to look at Zhu Qi, he admonished her as if teaching a lesson, "Now you see how serious it is. In the future, don’t get too entangled with him."

In his words, he pointed unabashedly at Yao Wenxuan.

Zhu Qi nodded seriously, having not initially thought much of it, but once she started to consider it, she couldn’t shake the feeling that something about this guy was just not right!

Yao Wenxuan: "......"

A flurry of confusion and bewilderment overtook Yao Wenxuan, who retorted incredulously, "Immortal Venerate, honestly, what does any of this have to do with me? From beginning to end, it was all their own infighting!"
