"Must the Shao family be destroyed?" Ji Ning was shocked, even if he considered the Shao family a great enemy, in his heart of hearts, Ji Ning also had a desire... a desire to destroy the Shao family in the future, to comfort his mother's spirit in heaven!
The mother's sister, father and many other relatives, all of the Wei Chi family were killed by Shao Yan.
Mother must have wanted to destroy the Shao Yan clan, but the Shao Yan clan was too powerful. So powerful that Wei Chi Shan had never told Xi Yue Jun Zhu that their sworn enemy was the Shao Yan clan, and Wei Chi Xue had also never told Ji Ning. This is an ancient tribe that can rank in the top ten of the entire Daxia Dynasty, a powerful tribe that has spanned from the era of gods and demons to the present day. Who dares to say they can destroy such a tribe?
Ji Ning secretly yearned for it in her heart, but she didn't dare say it out loud.
But unfortunately, the county master is bold!
Ji Ning sensed that hatred and determination to achieve her goal at all costs from his cousin's words!
"This was Father's wish, and now that Father is dead, I will see it through." Xī Yuè Jun Zhuang said gritting her teeth, "Even if I lose my life, even if I fail, I must take a big bite out of the Shǎo Yán family."
"Eldest sister," Ji Ning couldn't help but say, "Don't rush into destroying the Shao Yan family, this matter can't be hurried."
"Of course I know." Xi Yue County Master shook her head, "This idea of mine wasn't even told to my grandfather, because I knew that the entire Daxia royal family, the Xia Meng clan, might have the power to destroy the Shao Yan clan, but the Daxia royal family wouldn't do such a thing. The Daxia royal family is unwilling to cause fear and unrest among the many tribes under its rule, let alone rebellion."
Ji Ning nodded.
The Daxia royal family wants to destroy a large clan, there must be sufficient reason! Can't just find an excuse, after all, the various lords of the world are not fools. The Shao Yan clan must have done something that crossed the line, only then can the Daxia royal family destroy them. Otherwise, if the Daxia royal family wants to destroy whoever they want, how can the other lords be at peace?
I'm afraid it will all rise up and start a great war, at that time this land will probably enter another chaotic era like the "Era of Gods and Demons".
The Daxia imperial clan was able to unify the world initially because many tribes surrendered to them. If these tribes were to rebel, the outcome for the Daxia imperial clan would likely be disastrous.
"So I endured, and only a few people in the Great Summer Palace knew about my affair with Wei Chi Xi Yue. I also told my grandfather not to mention it." said Xi Yue. "I don't want to provoke the Ji clan of the Shao Yan tribe, I will look for opportunities, if I don't make a move, then so be it, but once I do, I must make sure that the Shao Yan tribe is destroyed, even if I can't destroy them completely, I will at least severely wound their vitality."
"Cousin sister. What are you planning to do?" Ji Ning was very puzzled, her cousin's strength seemed ordinary, wanting to destroy the Shao Yan family? Even the Heavenly Immortal Ancestor wouldn't dare say such a thing.
"If I had your talent, I would definitely work hard to cultivate it and become an immortal. Once I become an immortal, I will naturally have plenty of time to slowly deal with it." The Marquise of Xiyue shook her head, "But I don't have that kind of talent, so I must borrow power, I want to borrow the power of the Great Xia imperial family."
"Borrow power?" Ji Ning was taken aback.
"The Daxia imperial family doesn't have enough reason. Then I'll find a way to get one that's sufficient." said Xī Yuè Jùnzhǔ, "Even if it costs my life, I'm willing. But I know even if I don't spare my life, it will still be very difficult. The more difficult it is, the more I'll work hard, and I'll slowly wait. Silently wait."
The County Master of Xiyue was like a venomous snake seeking revenge, quietly waiting for the final moment to strike.
"I will spend my whole life to destroy the Shao Yan family, it's very difficult." Xī Yuè Jùnzhǔ's eyes flashed with determination, "So I will take a husband, I won't marry out, I will take a husband. The children I give birth to will follow the surname 'Chí' that I now publicly use outside. My children will continue to have children, generation after generation without end, my descendants' greatest goal is the Shao Yan family!"
"I have my maternal grandfather behind me, and I am his only relative. Even if I die, I will ask my maternal grandfather to take care of the Chi family." said Xi Yue County Master, "My maternal grandfather is a heavenly immortal elder of the Great Xia royal family, with his protection, the Chi family will surely become even more prosperous. Until the day when the Chi family gives birth to another heavenly immortal elder or the day when the Shaoyan family is destroyed, my Chi family will truly be restored to 'Chi Family'."
Ji Ning took a deep breath.
The sister's words were full of hatred, and Ji Ning didn't even flinch.
Yes.
My older cousin is different from me.
As a member of the Ji family, even his mother, Wei Chi Xue, didn't hold any grudges against him. His hatred for the 'Shao Yan' family hadn't truly sunk deep into his bones. However, his cousin was a member of the Wei Chi family, and his uncle, Wei Chi Shan, had been cultivating his cousin since she was young, teaching her about the past glories of the Wei Chi family.
Although Wei Chi Shan didn't say who the enemy was, he himself had been diligently cultivating in seclusion, wanting to rebuild his tribe on one hand and seeking power to avenge on the other.
Wei Chi Xi Yue silently watched her father, she knew that his desire was to rebuild the Wei Chi clan and avenge! The revenge was buried in his heart, but as his daughter, she could feel the hatred he had been suppressing all along, so she wanted to fulfill her father's wish - to rebuild the tribe and avenge!
"Yes." Ji Ning's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
"Uncle is the only man of the Wei Chi family still alive, his hatred must be very strong. My cousin also hates the Shao Yan family. And what about my mother?"
"Wouldn't mother hate them if one by one her uncles were killed?"
"But she married Father and became a part of the Ji family, so she never showed it in front of me. Perhaps in private, she would also feel pain and hatred towards her father's relatives." Ji Ning suddenly felt a pang in his heart, realizing that his mother had never passed on this hatred to him, precisely because she didn't want him to seek revenge.
Worry about being like an egg hitting a rock!
"Mother, you worry about me. But I'm still at odds with Shao Yan now."
"That's fate!"
"Mother, if I were just an ordinary peerless genius, it would be difficult to avenge. But I'm not! I have obtained the inheritance of the Chaos God Demon Three Lifes Daoist, and in the future, I will easily obtain Xian-grade treasures, including pure Yang treasures. My divine powers are among the top ten most feared in the three realms. I have every hope of becoming a powerful figure who can dominate the three realms and destroy the Shaoyan clan... I can do it, completely!"
Ji Ning's eyes flashed with determination.
"Sister." Ji Ning looked at her cousin.
"Little brother." Wei Chi Xi Yue looked at her own little brother and said in a low voice, "I've never said these words before, seeing you, everything I've been holding back in my heart just came out, apart from Grandfather, you're the only family I have left."
Ji Ning nodded: "Sister, rest assured, the Heavenly Tribulation for me is nothing but a mere formality, no obstacle at all! Even if it's to become an Immortal... although it's very difficult, I will make it happen. Definitely will make it happen. Dealing with Shao Yan isn't just your business, it's also mine. Shao Yan and I are already sworn enemies, either he'll destroy me or I'll destroy him!"
"Little brother." Wei Chi Xi Yue's heart warmed up a bit.
Although they both knew how difficult it was for them to become celestial beings after crossing the calamity, neither of the siblings would mention this matter now.
At least they have made up their minds.
"We siblings join forces. Let's take down the Shao family." Ji Ning grasped her older cousin's hand.
"Right! Let's join forces and wipe out the Shao Yan clan!" Wei Chi Xi Yue also nodded excitedly, "With our sibling unity, we can cut through metal!"
"When brothers and sisters are of one mind, their sharpness can cut through metal." Ji Ning also nodded heavily.
At this moment, on this day.
While the treasure hunt was still ongoing, and while the Floating Cloud Immortal was waiting on the streets to assassinate Ji Ning, Wei Chi Xiyue and Ji Ning this pair of siblings truly had their hearts connected as one, having a common enemy - the Shaoyan Clan!

Under the pull of two giant green phoenixes, the immortal chariot surrounded by golden flames also took to the air, flying within the Tianbao Mountains. Beside the chariot were some attendants, and surrounding them was a large group of Golden Armored Imperial Guards protecting them.
The Marquis of Xiyue and Ji Ning sat together on the immortal carriage, Bai Shui Ze crouched beside them, while Xiao Qing circled around Ji Ning's arm.
Previously, the county master Xueyue pulled Ji Ning to sit in a sedan chair. Those female soldiers and attendants opened their mouths to think it was inappropriate, worried that Ji Ning would assassinate the county master. However, the county master insisted... They naturally had no way.
"In the imperial capital, it's too common to lure some geniuses and ride together in a carriage. The Moon Sorrow County Princess transmitted her voice, 'Is inviting a genius, me sitting on an immortal carriage, you flying below? This is also too disrespectful to a peerless genius, right?"
Ji Ning couldn't help but smile wryly.
"You'd better not stay at the Yinglong Guard headquarters. Although it's safe, there are many people and prying eyes, and the Yinglong Guards of the Shi family will definitely be monitoring you, and all your movements will be discovered. It's better to stay in my Yanwang Mansion, where no one will disturb you."
"Uh-huh." Ji Ning nodded.
Although the original plan was to stay at Yinglong Wei's headquarters, 'Yinglong Shen Shan', during the Great Xia Wangdu period. That is an absolutely safe place, after all, Yinglong Shen Shan is slightly higher than Tianmang Temple, and the martial power hidden in Yinglong Shen Shan is also endlessly frightening, even the Tianshen Old Ancestor dare not go there to make trouble.
No matter how well you plan, you can't keep up with changes. I ran into my cousin and went to a royal palace of the Great Xia Dynasty, which was naturally extremely safe.
"Two of these Golden Armor Imperial Guards are immortals?" Ji Ning transmitted his voice to ask.
"My younger brother is indeed exceptional. This hundred-strong Golden Armor Forbidden Troop, ninety-eight of whom are Yuanshen Dao people, and the other two are scattered immortals. This is the absolute elite of the Great Xia Imperial Clan's Forbidden Troop, originally bestowed upon my uncle, who then ordered them to follow my command. I brought out only two small squads this time. Each squad consists of one Scattered Immortal and forty-nine Yuanshen Dao people, capable of forming a grand dao army formation. With both squads joining forces, even several tens of Scattered Immortals would find it difficult to break through." Princess Xiyue transmitted her voice.
Ji Ning's astonishment.
The Great Xia Imperial Clan's move was indeed extraordinary.
"When the time comes, just send out a small team and you can wipe out that Snow Dragon Mountain." The moonlight flashed in Xī Yuè's eyes, "I'll let my grandfather tell ān Bó Běi Shān about it, and ān Bó Běi Shān will definitely not say much. A sect without even a single land immortal or scattered immortal, if destroyed, then so be it."
Ji Ning nodded, previously in the building they also discussed that Yu Shan was killed by people from Xue Long Mountain, and Yu Tong and Shui Yi had already been killed. There is only one more, Dong Qi, who is on Xue Long Mountain. He himself did not dare to linger and fight on Xue Long Mountain because he was being pursued by the Shaoyan clan, if he were surrounded then it would be over.
Mie Xue Long Shan? It's a bit of trouble for Ji Ning.
It's much easier than sympathizing with County Master Xueyue.
……
"How can it still not come out?" The Floating Cloud Immortal frowned as he waited on the street for a long time, and he had been waiting here for a good while now.
Whoosh.
Suddenly, a green-clad servant emerged from the Tianbao Mountain headquarters and transmitted a message: "Senior, Ji Ning has come out, but he's following behind the Xiyue Princess."
"Xī Yuè Jun Zhu?" Floating Cloud Immortal was taken aback.
In almost just a few breaths, only to see the extremely beautiful and noble two qinglian divine beasts pulling a chariot surrounded by golden flames, a woman in green clothes was sitting with Ji Ning, with Bai Shui Ze crouching beside them, and behind them was a group of Golden Armor Forbidden Troops emitting a powerful aura.
"This...this..." Floating Cloud Immortal was completely stunned, "Two-headed Divine Beast Qing Luan? One hundred Golden Armor Forbidden Troops? How...how did I assassinate?"
