Chapter 955 Countermeasures
When the ashes were brought to Jinlong, he did not accept them, but coldly said:
"Jin Lai has already been expelled from the clan after doing something that disgraces the family and implicates the clan. He will have to pay the price for what he did."

With that, she swept her sleeve and scattered Jin Lai's ashes into the air, truly turning his bones to dust. The reactions of those around her varied, but Yunxi sensed from their gazes that they were more wary of the Jin family. The fact that they were willing to go to such lengths to extricate their family from the situation showed just how ruthless they were.

No one believed that Jin Lai could steal the immortal stone vein on his own. Moreover, Wanqi was not an unknown family in Wanhao Immortal City. Even so, his family was still robbed. It was impossible for a single Great Luo Golden Immortal to do this. It could only mean that the entire Jin family was involved. Jin Lai was just unlucky and became the scapegoat.

The Jin family's decisive and thorough abandonment shows that they have big ambitions. There were already some rumors circulating in the city before. Although they thought it was probably the Wanqi family who spread them, seeing Jinlong's attitude today, they believed at least half of it. They would investigate the other half themselves. Having a venomous snake lurking around them made them feel unsafe.

Jinlong seemed oblivious to the change in atmosphere. After grinding Jinlai to ashes, he prepared to leave, but Wanqiyou blocked his way.

"Jinlong, can the Jin family give the Wanqi family the compensation they promised today?"

In front of the Lord of Kuangmei City, Jinlong naturally dared not go back on his word. He took off a storage ring from his finger, erased the divine sense imprint, and tossed it to Wanqiyou.

Wanqiyou scanned the area with his divine sense, confirmed that the compensation of immortal stones was sufficient, and then flashed away without stopping the golden dragon from leaving.

With the matter settled, City Lord Kuangmei also slipped away from his seat. Deputy City Lord Xue Ling gave a concluding speech, and then everyone dispersed in twos and threes. Yunxi followed Wanqiwei and successfully returned to the Wanqi family's ancestral land.

This time, Wan Qiwei once again escorted Yunxi back to the courtyard, and brought up the previous topic again:
"Ranxi, what's your decision?"

Yun Xi smiled slightly and said:

“Young Master Wei, I have decided to stay here, hoping to gain the protection of the Wanqi family.”

Upon hearing this, Wan Qiwei finally smiled and nodded, saying:

"Welcome to Wanqi Family."

Yun Xi continued:

“Young Master Wei, because the incident happened so suddenly, I didn’t even have time to consolidate my cultivation. So I have to go into seclusion for a while. Even if I join the Wanqi family, I hope to rely on my own strength. I can’t stay in the Wanqi family forever because of gratitude. I believe the Wanqi family doesn’t want to support idle people.”

Wan Qiwei nodded and said:
“You really need to go into seclusion to consolidate your cultivation and also temporarily avoid the Jin family’s malice. You can come out of seclusion after things have completely settled down. This is also to protect yourself.”

"Thank you very much, Young Master Wei."

Yunxi bowed and thanked her, then personally escorted Wanqiwei out of her courtyard. This time, the formation in the courtyard was closed. In order to gain Yunxi's trust, Wanqiwei handed her the array plate that controlled the formation in the courtyard, which Yunxi accepted with a smile.

The next day, the formation in the courtyard was raised again, and Yunxi hung up a sign that said "Seclusion" and went into complete silence.

At that time, Wan Qiyou was meeting Wan Qiwei in the back hall:
"Has everything been taken care of regarding Ranxi?"

"Yes, Elder, she has agreed to accept the protection of the Wanqi family and choose to join the Wanqi family. However, she proposed to first go into seclusion to consolidate her cultivation before serving the Wanqi family. I have agreed."

Wan Qiyou nodded and said:
"This is a good way to handle it. It avoids the Jin family and allows her to be protected by the Wanqi family, so that she can repay the favor later."

"Elder You, the Jinlai lineage is preparing to leave Wanhao Immortal City. Is there anything we should do?"

Wan Qiyou shook his head and said:

"Send people to follow them and find out where they are. Don't take action for now. If something happens to Jinlai's people now, they will definitely pin the blame on the Wanqi family."

"But if we don't take action, what if other families make a move? Won't they hold us responsible too?"

"Don't worry, everyone's smart enough to know. Right now, they're only concerned about how the Jin family discovered the immortal stone mine on the Wanqi family's territory. They're all watching the Jin family, so we're not in a hurry to make a move." "Yes, I'll have people keep an eye on the Jin family. If they make any moves, they definitely won't escape our surveillance."

"Okay, go and make the arrangements."

Wan Qiwei received the order and left the inner hall.

Just as Wanqiyou had guessed, the other families in Wanhao Immortal City were also secretly investigating how the Jin family had found the Wanqi family's immortal stone mine.

Since Jin Lai was executed, the Jin family has kept a low profile. They even activated a clan protection formation and retreated to their clan territory. The Jin family disciples who were training outside became more and more cautious, even concealing their origins and weakening their presence.

Meanwhile, the seven people who were sent back to Wantu Immortal City by Wanqiwei successfully entered the city after completing the entry registration, and briefly gathered together in a teahouse in the city.

Once the protective barriers around the private room were removed, Tianyun was the first to speak:

"Nobody's watching us."

Everyone then relaxed a little.

Minghong looked at Haoran and asked:

"Brother Haoran, when we left, Ranxi hinted that we should not contact her proactively, nor should we believe any messages she had relayed through a third party. What did she mean by that?"

Haoran stroked the teacup and replied:
"Ranxi should have a plan to escape unscathed, but she doesn't want us to become bargaining chips for the Wanqi family to use against her, so she wants us to stay quietly in Wantu Immortal City to consolidate our cultivation."

"We can leave here in three years. As long as we integrate into the Central Immortal Realm, I believe the Wanqi family won't go through the trouble of searching for us. Once we're safe, Ranxi won't be at their mercy."

Haoran understands his junior very well.

Mingjia took a sip of the immortal tea, feeling a warm current flow into his stomach, which he absorbed in a moment. Only then did he speak:

"Actually, we don't need to stay here for three years at all. I took a look around on the way into the city. Most of the people here are ascended cultivators, and their strength is all at the Earth Immortal Realm. The Immortal Realm's decision to let them stay here for three years is just a transition and also to protect them."

But every one of us here is at the Celestial Immortal Realm, possessing the ability to protect ourselves. At least after leaving Myriad Paths Immortal City, we won't be easily bullied. So why cling to this place for three years?"

Mingjia's words made everyone's eyes light up, and they felt that what he said made a lot of sense.

Hao Yan raised her narrow eyes and said with a smile:

“Mingjia is right. In fact, we can leave Wantu Immortal City together after we are familiar with the immortal-level cultivation techniques. As long as we don’t leave at the same time, we shouldn’t attract too much attention.”

Haohui chimed in:

"Indeed, we should try our best to gather information about the Immortal Realm before leaving, and make full preparations before departing."

As long as we don't enter the Immortal City, we won't need our identity jade tokens, and at least our whereabouts won't be easily traced.

Shi Jun nodded and said:

"Haohui is right. After we become familiar with the technique, training is the fastest way to master it. We can choose a mountain range and train there for ten years. The Wanqi family will not have time to look for us."
