Douluo Dragon King: Nine Dragons Break the Abyss

Chapter 347 Revenge
The Yuanen family's ancestral home is located halfway up a mountain.

The Yuanen family has multiplied here for nearly ten thousand years and has long since carved out a flat open space.

A large number of ancient buildings are located here. This place is not only the ancestral home of the Yuanen family, but also the location of their ancestral hall.

At this moment, in a small house next to the ancestral hall, the senior members of the Yuanen family were holding a small meeting to discuss Yuanen Yehui's return to the family.

The gloomy man who spoke first was none other than Yuanen Yehui's second uncle, Yuanen Tianshang.

He wasn't always like this.

Before that accident, he had always been a kind and gentle person. As the second son, he didn't need a strong personality to support the family's future; he only needed to do his job well.

Can--

In the disaster caused by his sister-in-law, Yuanen Yehui's mother, Yuanen Tianshang's wife tragically perished.

He could never forget the sight of his wife covered in blood before she died.

From that time on, he changed his name to Yuan Entianshang, and his whole personality became much more gloomy.

Yuan Entianshang despises fallen angels, and Yuan Enyehui, a girl with the bloodline of a fallen angel, is also within his sphere of hostility.

His angry words immediately resonated with many others, because many of their relatives had also died at the hands of the demons in that disaster.

Sitting on a hardwood chair at the head of the table, a burly old man with white hair and beard looked at the angry crowd below and could only shake his head helplessly.

Even as the head of the family, Yuan Enzhentian could not ignore the thoughts of so many clansmen.

What's more, the one leading the charge was his own son.

"Cough cough~"

A cough rang out, and the somewhat noisy hall immediately quieted down.

After looking around, Yuan Enzhentian slowly said:
“No matter what, Yuanen Yehui is a member of my Yuanen family. Now that she has returned, we have no reason to turn her away…”

Upon hearing Yuanen Zhentian's words, Yuanen Tianshang could no longer sit still.

He stood up abruptly and said urgently:
"Father, have you forgotten what happened ten years ago..."

"Tian Shang!"

Yuan Enzhen interrupted Yuan Entianshang.

Seeing his father's stern gaze, Yuan Entianshang suppressed his anger and reluctantly sat back down in his seat.

“I know you all harbor resentment, but let’s not forget that ten years ago, someone was already held responsible for that disaster. Now, we shouldn’t pass on that hatred to a child.”

Upon hearing this, Yuan Enzhentian could clearly sense that something was amiss in the atmosphere.

He ignored it, but changed the subject:
"but--"

“Yuan En Ye Hui inherited her mother’s Fallen Angel Martial Soul, which is a very unstable factor. So when she comes back this time, I will take action to seal her Fallen Angel Martial Soul and completely eliminate the crisis of the Demon Gate reopening.”

"What's more... this time, Ye Hui isn't alone when she returns..."

At the entrance to the village, three figures stood silently.

The burly Erming paced back and forth, his eyes darting around as if he were curious about everything around him.

Meanwhile, Qian Gu Qi Tian held Yuan En Ye Hui's slender waist and calmly gazed at the buildings on the mountainside in the distance.

Seemingly sensing the tension in the girl's arms, Qian Gu Qi Tian's voice was gentle:
"Don't be nervous, Yoru, I'm here for you."

Yuan Enhui's tightly clenched fist suddenly relaxed, then clenched again.

She rested her head on Qian Gu Qitian's shoulder and whispered, "I...I didn't..."

She was undoubtedly nervous at that moment.

But she didn't want Qian Gu Qi Tian to worry about her.

Qian Gu Qi Tian could see through the girl's thoughts at a glance, but he didn't expose her. He just stood silently by her side.

Erming, who was looking around, suddenly fixed his gaze on the path leading deep into the village, and his eyes gradually brightened.

He could sense a powerful yet intimate aura rushing towards him.

"Coming!"

Erming's voice also caught Yuanen Yehui's attention.

She timidly turned her gaze to where Erming was looking, and vague memories from the past gradually surfaced in her mind.

Are we... going to meet...?

Qian Gu Qi Tian also noticed that many powerful auras were rushing towards this side, the most powerful of which was a being with the cultivation of a demigod at the limit.

Yuan Enzhentian.

Immediately, information about Yuan Enzhentian surfaced in Qian Gu Qitian's mind.

Although the Yuanen family is a reclusive family, its members still travel and explore the continent when they are young.

Therefore, the Spirit Pagoda has collected some information about Yuanen Zhentian, the Limit Douluo.

Although Yuan Enyehui's grandfather was not as powerful as Yun Ming and others of the same era, his strength was not to be underestimated.

Judging solely from the level of martial spirit, the Titan Giant Ape, possessing the most extreme martial spirit power, has the combat strength to challenge opponents of higher levels.

With the support of soul power at the extreme level, his terrifying strength is even more immeasurable.

Of course, the Great Equal to Heaven is not afraid.

No matter how strong or talented Yuan Enzhentian is, he is not necessarily stronger than his ancestor, Erming.

And the eternal Qitian could easily subdue the two Ming emperors.

Now, only Tang Hao, who is determined to take the entire Douluo Continent plane down with him and perish together with Qian Gu Qi Tian, ​​is qualified to have a 50/50 duel with Qian Gu Qi Tian.

Before long, even the weakest of them, Yuan En Ye Hui, could vaguely sense the auras coming from ahead.

Several blurry figures flashed by, and five robust middle-aged and elderly men appeared in front of Qian Gu Qi Tian and his companions.

Yuanen Zhentian, who was in the lead, only glanced at Yuanen Yehui, who was nestled in Qian Gu Qitian's arms, before quickly turning his attention to Qian Gu Qitian and Er Ming.

Especially Erming.

Just from his appearance and physique, Yuan Enzhentian felt a sense of familiarity.

At this moment, Erming really wanted to go up and talk to the Yuanen family members, but he couldn't do so.

Of the three, the one who ultimately stood out was Qian Gu Qi Tian.

Upon seeing his former elder, Yuan En Ye Hui pursed his lips and stood silently behind Qian Gu Qi Tian without uttering a word.

Qian Gu Qi Tian grasped Yuan En Ye Hui's small hand and then noticed that the girl's palm was covered with a layer of sweat.

He stepped forward and addressed the members of the Yuanen family:

"Senior Yuan Enzhentian, I am Qian Gu Qitian. Please forgive my abrupt visit on behalf of Ye Hui."

Yuan Enzhentian said in some shock:
"The young master of the Qian Gu family?!" Qian Gu Qitian was already famous, and he was recognized by the Soul Master world as the strongest person of the new generation.

The future Great Sage Equal to Heaven may very well inherit the mantle of his maternal grandfather, the Great Sage Dieting, and become a new god on the Douluo Continent.

Even the legendary Emperor Qitian was aware of how others perceived him.

Not to mention, he recently took on the role of chairman of the Sun and Moon Federation Strategic Weapons Committee, and is currently enjoying the height of his career.

Putting aside his formidable strength and illustrious status, Qian Gu Qi Tian is also the youngest divine craftsman in the Douluo Continent.

For a long time to come, he will control the forging rights of all four-word battle armors.

No one dared to offend a master craftsman, especially a powerful figure like Yuanen Zhentian who possessed the cultivation of a Limit Douluo but lacked a four-word battle armor.

Seeing the intimate relationship between Qian Gu Qi Tian and Yuan En Ye Hui, the previous impromptu discussion became meaningless.

Yuanen Tianshang, the second young master of the Yuanen family, understood after learning about Qian Gu Qitian's identity that they could no longer treat Yuanen Yehui as they had just discussed.

Even so, he harbored many grievances.

The Eternal Heavenly Emperor smiled and said:
"It's quite daunting that a senior like you knows a junior like me."

“Hey~” Yuan Enzhen waved his hand with a smile and said, “Young man from the Qian Gu family, you are too modest. You have achieved so much at such a young age, your future is definitely limitless.”

What should have been a tense meeting turned into a somewhat harmonious one.

After some pleasantries, Qian Gu Qi Tian got down to business:

"Senior should be able to tell that I've come here because of Ye Hui's matter."

When Qian Gu Qitian mentioned Yuan En Ye Hui, the expressions of the people from the Yuan En family became somewhat unnatural.

This is also something that can't be helped.

Reason told them they shouldn't be indifferent to the fate of the world, but their emotions made it hard for them to accept what was about to happen.

Their conflicted feelings resulted in their distressed appearance.

Yuan Enhui also understood something from the expressions of his uncles and elders.

She held Qian Gu Qi Tian's hand and whispered:

"Brother Qitian, let's go..."

Her tribesmen did not like her.

She didn't want to put Qian Gu Qi Tian in a difficult position.

With a glance back, Qian Gu Qi Tian signaled to Yuan En Ye Hui to rest assured.

Then he said:
"Everyone, I know how much harm Ye Hui's mother caused you more than ten years ago, but none of this has anything to do with Ye Hui, right? At that time, she was just a six-year-old child."

"In that disaster, you lost your loved ones, but didn't Ye Hui also lose her parents?"

"Of course... I don't mean to persuade you all to let go of your hatred. I'm not here to spout empty platitudes either. After all, one shouldn't advise others to be kind without experiencing their suffering. I'm here simply to ask you all one question—"

"Do you want revenge? Revenge against the demonic dimension that killed your loved ones."

There was silence.

revenge……

Seeing that everyone remained silent, Erming said with a hint of disappointment:
"The Yuanen family, who inherited the Titan Ape, are they just a bunch of cowards who only grow muscles but not courage?"

This statement immediately drew criticism from some people.

He was a short, middle-aged man who glared angrily at Erming, his eyes bloodshot.
"How dare you insult my Yuanen family?! Revenge? Do you think we don't want that?!"

"Tianlin, shut up!"

Yuan Enzhen shouted.

Normally, the reforms of the Yuanen clan leader, Yuanen Zhentian, would be enough to intimidate everyone. But now, seeing someone insult the entire Yuanen family, how could Yuanen Tianlin, who was already short-tempered, tolerate it?

"No!" Yuan Entianlin continued angrily at Erming, "How could an outsider like you know how powerful the Demon Plane is! That night, there were no fewer than three Limit Douluo-level demons who came out of the Demon Gate alone!"

Yuan Entianlin's voice trembled as he spoke his last words.

If it weren't for the original works of other organizations that night, the Yuanen family would probably have been completely wiped out.

Who doesn't want revenge?
With their strength, it would be suicide for them.

Erming didn't say anything more.

He could sense the fear, anger, and despair emanating from his junior colleague...

Even after all these years, the Emperor Qitian remained calm and composed.

He said calmly, "I will take action."

Those four simple words were like a thunderclap from a clear sky, drawing everyone's attention to him.

The information contained in these four words is undoubtedly enormous.

Yuan Enzhentian said with some uncertainty:

"You mean, the Qian Gu family will assist us?"

The Qian Gu family is now the only god-level family on the Douluo Continent. If Qian Gu Qi Tian can persuade his maternal grandfather to take action, then the Yuan En family's revenge against the Demon Plane will undoubtedly become a possibility.

Therefore, Yuan Enzhentian changed his address to the more respectful "you" when addressing Qian Gu Qitian.

A thousand-year-old emperor smiled slightly:
"Senior, shall we discuss this here?"

"Oh, oh~" Yuan Enzhentian finally realized, "Look at how senile I am, let's go inside and talk, let's go inside and talk."

Soon, several soul-guided vehicles arrived, and everyone boarded them, heading towards the clan's territory halfway up the mountain.

To show respect, Yuanen Zhentian took Qian Gu Qitian and the other two directly to the ancestral home of the Yuanen family.

It's just right; Yuan Enhui, who has been away from home for many years, should also pay respects to his ancestors.

Upon entering the ancestral home, a different aura immediately wafted over. Erming quickly determined that it was the scent of a plant, a very refreshing scent that gave one a sense of calm and tranquility. Clearly, the wood used in the construction of the ancestral home was extraordinary.

Upon entering the gate, one is greeted by a spacious courtyard. This architectural style is typical of classical architecture in the Douluo Continent, reflecting the traditions of the Yuanen family.

The front yard of the mansion is surrounded by a colonnade of individual wooden pillars, each seemingly emanating an aura of stability and grandeur. Passing through the front yard from the side, one arrives at the middle courtyard, where the first thing one sees are two large characters: Ancestral Hall.

This appears to be the largest room, or rather, hall, in the entire mansion. The characters for "ancestral hall" are subtly incorporated into the design, clearly the work of a renowned calligrapher.

Yuan Enzhentian led the group into the ancestral hall.

Compared to the rustic exterior, the interior of the ancestral hall is resplendent with gold and exquisite craftsmanship in every detail. At the front of the hall is a huge tiered table, on which rows of memorial tablets are arranged in a pyramid shape from top to bottom.

Each memorial tablet has a name and the date of birth and death recorded on it. Looking up, at the very top there is a memorial tablet that reads, "The Tablet of My Late Mother, Xiong Xiaoling".

Erming's gaze was completely fixed on the three characters "Xiong Xiaoling" on the memorial tablet, and his copper bell-like eyes were slightly dazed at this moment.

He didn't notice at all that next to the memorial tablet was a statue. The statue was not big, about the same height as the memorial tablet, about thirty centimeters tall. It was a monkey beating its chest with both hands. The appearance was very lifelike, but perhaps because it was a little small, it looked a bit silly and cute at first glance.
