Chapter 775: Chapter 511: Fan Family

Yun Family…

Upon hearing the identity of the people before him, the Gatekeeper Heavenly General’s face turned slightly pale, cold sweat seeping from his forehead and temples, and his body subtly trembled.

Although the Yun Family does not rank in the top ten of the current Great Universe, there is still an Ancient Ancestor alive within the clan. Rumors have long circulated in the Great Universe that the old ancestor of the Yun Family is nearing his end, but the body of an insect remains unconsciously alive even when dead, and the Ancestral Realm is still the Ancestral Realm.

Its mighty power is such that overturning the Lin Xian Three Clans would likely be a matter of lifting a mere finger.

The two felt a surge of panic in their hearts. Considering their status and position, if a friction between the Yun Family and the Lin Xian Three Clans were truly incited, they would likely be eliminated in an instant, to appease the Yun Family’s wrath.

The Sword-carrying Heavenly General could no longer hold on, his posture slouched, and he dropped to one knee directly, while the Spear-carrying Heavenly General beside him hastily bowed, burying his head deeply, almost touching the cold Jade Steps, speaking in a trembling voice:

“It is my fault for being blind, failing to recognize Emperor Taishan, and offending the Young Master. Truly, my sins deserve death! I implore Young Master Tianji for forgiveness!”

“We shall immediately make way, dare not obstruct the Young Master’s majestic carriage.”

The few Yun Family disciples who jumped out were evidently pleased with such a reaction, turned around to look at Yun Tianji, and bowed, saying: “Young Master, please.”

Yun Tianji’s expression remained icy, looking at the few proud and boastful Yun Family disciples before him, a trace of mockery flashed in his eyes.

Initially discarded as a worthless rag, they now suddenly seek him out, merely because the Heaven Burial Palace is about to open, and the various clans need candidates to compete for the Heavenly Fate.

He did not spare a glance at the two Heavenly Generals prostrated on the ground, simply brushed his sleeve lightly.

“Let’s go.”

At his command, more than a hundred cultivators followed closely behind Yun Tianji, passing by the two trembling Heavenly Generals, and grandly entering Falling Leaves Heaven.

Not until the grand hundred-men entourage completely disappeared at the end of the Heaven-Reaching Jade Steps, merging into Falling Leaves Heaven, did the two Gatekeeper Heavenly Generals finally feel relieved.

“Yun Family… the direct lineage of the Ancient Ancestor…” The Spear-carrying Heavenly General spoke hoarsely, with a tremor of having survived a disaster: “How could such a personage come from the Lower Realm?!”

“Report immediately!” The Sword-carrying Heavenly General shuddered, took out the Communication Jade Talisman.

This is a matter of great importance; the direct lineage of the Ancient Ancestor accompanied by a hundred people ascended to Falling Leaves Heaven, this news must be reported immediately, otherwise if any mishap occurs, even ten heads of theirs would not suffice.

Report? How to report?

Gripping the Communication Jade Talisman, the two were momentarily stunned, exchanged a glance, and instantly understood each other.

The earlier event must not be reported truthfully.

Whether it’s the Yun Family disciples addressing the three clan ancestors by name or saying they should show some respect to the three clans, none of this can be reported.

Disaster stems from the mouth!

If those words were reported as they were, once it spreads, the Lin Xian Three Clans, especially the three supreme Mythical Realm ancestors, would definitely not tolerate such an affront for the sake of face and clan dignity.

Even knowing the terror of the Yun Family Ancient Ancestor, they would surely posture somewhat, at least seeking an explanation from the Yun Family; otherwise, where would the dignity of the Three Clans be? How could they stand firm in the Near Immortal Realm?

And once matters escalate, evolving into friction or even conflict between the two major forces, no matter the final result, these two small Gatekeeper Heavenly Generals, as the protagonists that sparked the event, would definitely be the first to be crushed as cannon fodder.

In the rage of the Three Clans, taking their anger out on them for instigating, the Yun Family might also resent them for being too talkative and causing trouble, neither side would let them off easily, and the final outcome might be the complete obliteration of their being.

Cold sweat soaked the backs of the two once more, they fell silent for a long time, understanding each other without words, quickly reached a consensus, and began to carefully draft a message, choosing their words cautiously:

[Report to the superior: At the third quarter of noon today, an anomaly occurred at the Heaven-Reaching Jade Steps. The direct lineage child of the ‘Yun Family’ Ancient Ancestor, ‘Yun Tianji’, ascended to the Upper Realm with his retinue and followers totaling one hundred and thirty-seven people, among which are dozens of Seventh Order Perfection, an unprecedented grand scale. The two of us confirmed their noble identity as the direct lineage of the Ancient Ancestor beyond a doubt. To avoid causing complications and offending the direct lineage, which might provoke unnecessary trouble and disturb the overall stability, we took special measures by waiving their Ascension Tax and have already courteously allowed them to enter Falling Leaves Heaven smoothly. This is to report.]

Upon sending the information, the two slumped to the ground, leaning against the cold Jade Steps, their hearts pounding.

Buzz—

In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the Communication Jade Talisman began to vibrate intensely, the reply arrived.

The message from the Jade Talisman was extremely brief, just a few words, yet it made the two feel as if they were granted amnesty, a flush of color appeared on their ash-like faces.

[Understood, your handling was appropriate, prioritizing the greater picture; there will be generous rewards, no need to attend to subsequent matters.]

Upon receiving the message, the two breathed a sigh of relief, as for the so-called generous rewards, they were no longer concerned, merely preserving their lives was already a fortunate outcome.

……

……

To Yun Tianji, the Upper Realm was not at all unfamiliar.

By Grandpa’s side, he had witnessed numerous unimaginable scenarios, even entering the River of Space-Time, witnessing clashes among the Ancestral Realms.

The world he saw was beyond the reach of what many cultivators could see in their entire lifetimes.

Yun Tianji took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the surging mana within his body, gradually adapting to the world before him.

While Yun Tianji remained silent, a Yun Family disciple raised his hand, a flash of light at his fingertip, as a Jade Talisman shattered, transforming into a stream of light, and instantaneously pierced through the layers of space-time ripples, disappearing at the horizon.
