Chapter 951: Sacrificing Pawns to Save the Chariot
Wan Qiyou understood, and simply stroked his beautiful beard, saying:
"Lord Xue, rest assured, I know what I'm doing. I know what I can and cannot say. But if the Jin family's compensation this time does not satisfy the Wanqi family, then I cannot guarantee anything."

Xue Ling nodded and said:
"I am already aware of the dispute between your two families. I will explain the specific situation to the city lord. As for the Jin family's attitude towards this matter, the city lord's mansion will also pay attention. After all, the Immortal Lord entrusted Wanhao Immortal City to the city lord, so the city lord naturally has to maintain the stability of the immortal city."

Wan Qiyou immediately cupped his hands and said:

"In that case, the Wanqi family can rest assured. If the losses from the immortal stone mine can be recovered, the Wanqi family will certainly hand over no less immortal stones."

Xue Ling knew that the Wanqi family was more particular about things than the Jin family, so he nodded and was then personally escorted out of the Wanqi family's territory by Wanqi You.

After Wan Qiyou returned to the council hall, he looked at Wan Qiwei and said:
"Tell me exactly what happened."

"Yes, Elder You."

Wan Qiwei briefly recounted what had happened, but Elder You frowned as he listened.

"The Jin family is truly remarkable; their reach is incredibly far. Those two maids must not die. We must find out why they betrayed the family, and if necessary, we can even perform a soul search."

After this dispute with the Jin family is resolved, their families will be moved out of the Wanqi family's ancestral land. The traitors and their families will not be entitled to receive any support from the family.

"Yes, Elder You."

Wan Qiyou continued:
"We should try to win over that ascended female cultivator named Ranxi. She is not only powerful but also intelligent. Even when she came to our Wanqi family's territory, she did not let her guard down. We cannot just be after her cultivation techniques."

"Yes."

After giving his instructions, Wan Qiyou waved for Wan Qiwei to leave.

In fact, after learning that Ranxi had taken away the cultivation techniques from the Cultivation Techniques Pavilion, he was tempted to get his hands on them, but Wan Qiwei dissuaded him.

"Elder You, even if we search her soul now, we can only obtain her Golden Immortal Realm cultivation techniques. We can't get any techniques beyond that. Moreover, when we search her soul, the cultivation techniques will be returned to the cultivation technique pavilion because the owner's sea of ​​consciousness is damaged."

Most importantly, those cultivation techniques all originated from the divine realm. They only recognize one master, and if the master perishes, they will return to the cultivation technique pavilion to wait for the master's reincarnation before retrieving them.

Such opportunities are usually only encountered by powerful beings in the divine realm who have reincarnated and started anew. Moreover, during the time I was in place of Shi Jiu, I also read through some jade slips that were not considered confidential.

One of the records tells of a powerful being from the divine realm who was reincarnated and rebuilt because her cultivation technique was coveted. She reincarnated nine times before ascending back to the divine realm. The first thing she did upon returning to the divine realm was to destroy the sect that coveted her cultivation technique. She spared not even a single immortal beast from the entire sect. This even alarmed the Immortal Emperor. Even though the Immortal Emperor intervened, he could not save the sect and even knocked it back down to the Immortal Lord realm.

From then on, the cultivation techniques in the last row of the cultivation technique pavilion became taboo. If those techniques did not wish to be used, even the guardians of the pavilion could not find them.

But Ranxi found it and even made the cultivation technique recognize her as its master. She must have an extraordinary background and a limitless future. We'd better befriend her.

The theft of the immortal stone mine this time brought her into contact with our Wanqi family, which is why I reminded the elder to agree to the deal with her. Only by having this connection can we gradually get closer to her.

Even if our Wanqi family wants to obtain her cultivation techniques, we need her to willingly hand them over, not to steal them. To do so would be to create a powerful enemy for the Wanqi family.

Ultimately, Wanqi You, adhering to the principle of "better safe than sorry," agreed to the deal with Ranxi, sending her companions away and letting her stay in the Wanqi family's ancestral land. However, he did not expect that Ranxi's appearance would also bring out a traitor in their Wanqi family.

Upon returning to the Jin family ancestral land, Jinlong went to see the other elders and angrily threw the image-recording jade at them for them to see. The other two elders of the same rank frowned after looking at the image-recording jade and muttered complaints under their breath:

"Jin Lai is becoming increasingly reckless in his actions. He actually let the Wanqi family catch him red-handed. How could he be so careless?"

Jinlong, wielding a large sword and riding a golden horse, sat in his chair and said coldly:
"The problem stemmed from the miners that Jinlai bought. One of the ascended female cultivators had an earring made from a recording jade, which perfectly captured all of Jinlai's actions."

The City Lord's Mansion should know about this now, which is very detrimental to our Jin family. The City Lord's Mansion has long been dissatisfied with the Jin family. Let's discuss how to handle this matter.

One of the elders said coldly:

“In that case, let’s push Jin Lai out. This is his personal decision, and we must not let it implicate the entire Jin family.”

Another elder held a different opinion:

“If Jinlai is convicted, who will be willing to work for the family in the future? This will discourage them.”

Jinlong is also considering the same issue:
"In that case, let's act both openly and covertly."

"how do you want to do it?"

"Explain to the clansmen in private that Jin Lai sacrificed himself voluntarily for the family, and reward the clansmen of Jin Lai's lineage by providing them with ample cultivation resources and immortal stones."

However, on the surface, they were moved to more remote places to avoid trouble, since Jin Lai had taken the blame and their lineage had been implicated, so they had no choice but to leave.

"We should take this opportunity to send a portion of the Jin family away from Wanhao Immortal City to explore the newly returned Weiling Realm. If we can seize a good piece of territory first, it won't be a loss for us; it will also provide the Jin family with a backup plan."

The other two elders exchanged a glance and understood Jinlong's meaning. However, this meant that Jinlai and the disciples who had fallen into the hands of the Wanqi family would have no chance of survival.

Jinlong noticed their hesitation and waved his hand, saying:
"This is the safest method I can think of, but we also need to be wary of the Wanqi family demanding an exorbitant price. You'd better be prepared and have some immortal stones ready."

After saying that, he turned and left the family's council hall.

On the other side, Yunxi finally got the chance to testify five days later. This time, both sides went directly to the City Lord's Mansion, where City Lord Kuangmei personally handled the dispute between the two families.

Kuang Mei possessed the cultivation level of a Luo Tian Shang Xian Jing (a high-level immortal realm in the heavens), and was a body cultivator. However, he was a rare immortal who was thin despite his body refinement, though every inch of his skin contained boundless power.

Because of his physical cultivation, he had a fiery temper, which is why he appointed Xue Ling, a more tactful Nine Heavens Mystic Immortal, as the deputy city lord. The two complemented each other and managed the Wanhao Immortal City very well.

The reason this dispute between the Jin family and the Wanqi family has escalated to Kuangmei is because it involves the illegal mining of immortal stone veins. Moreover, the Jin family is not mining immortal stones from their own territory, but rather secretly mining those from the Wanqi family.

After listening to Xue Ling's entire account, Kuang Mei scoffed and said:

“The Jin family has become increasingly arrogant in recent years, even capable of doing things like this. The Wanqi family suffered a loss at the hands of the Jin family before, and this time they will definitely seek revenge with interest. So we will lend the Wanqi family a hand.”
