Chapter 980: Take the initiative
Wan Qiwei never believed that Ranxi would be trapped and die in the secret realm. How could a cultivator who could obtain a divine-level cultivation technique die so easily in a secret realm? Moreover, the other party also had merits, so being trapped must be temporary. The next time the secret realm opened, his speculation would be verified.

Moreover, Wanqiwei could sense that Ranxi did this not only to prevent the evil immortal from succeeding, but also to repay the favor to the Wanqi family. With more than half of the immortals who entered the secret realm suffering casualties, the Wanqi family only lost one person, which can be said to be the least casualty, and within an acceptable range.

Now that he has learned that the evidence used to destroy the Jin family was provided by Ran Xi, he admires her foresight even more. This left the Jin family with no way out and even dragged the City Lord's Mansion into the operation, completely eliminating this potential threat to the Wanqi family.

Wan Qiyou, standing to the side, felt somewhat conflicted, but he quickly recovered and said to Kuang Mei at the head of the table:

"Lord, this matter must be resolved as soon as possible. If the Jin family succeeds in sowing discord, Wanhao City will surely fall into chaos."

Kuang Mei nodded and said:
“I know, that’s why I invited you here immediately. Next, we’re going to put on a show together to keep the Jin family calm while secretly making preparations.”

"I understand, and I will do my best to cooperate with the City Lord's Mansion."

Wan Qiyou immediately made a promise.

After that, things became much easier. Three days later, rumors began to circulate in Wanhao City that the Jin family disciples who entered the secret realm had been killed by the Wanqi family's guards, and that photos of them had been leaked, further confirming the truth of the rumors.

The Wanqi family naturally refused to admit it, repeatedly denying these rumors and even saying that the photos were taken out of context. However, when the other party asked them to produce the complete photos and evidence, the Wanqi family could not produce them, which made their denials increasingly weak and powerless.

In an instant, the reputation of the Wanqi family in Wanhao Immortal City plummeted, and the Jin family took the opportunity to spread rumors that the Wanqi family was retaliating against the Jin family and trying to incite the city lord's dissatisfaction with the Wanqi family.

Ten days later, the City Lord's Mansion once again invited the elders of all the families in the city and announced that it would release the results of the investigation into the abnormal situation in the Fire Forging Secret Realm.

Wan Qiyou led Wan Qiwei to the City Lord's Mansion, where they encountered Elder Jin Hao at the entrance. Both of them had dark faces and were clearly preparing to take this opportunity to completely break off relations.

However, the outcome was beyond everyone's expectations. Kuang Mei took out the recording jade earring provided by Ran Xi and released the complete recording jade content, instantly making Jin Hao realize that things were going to go wrong. He wanted to send a message to his family, but Kuang Mei waved him off.

“Jin Hao, if you were just angry and wanted to attack the disciples of the Wanqi family, everyone in the secret realm would rely on their own abilities, and I, the city lord, could turn a blind eye. But your mistake is that you colluded with the evil immortal. This reason is enough to send your Jin family to the brink of annihilation.”

Jin Hao's eyes were bloodshot with rage. Limited by his cultivation level, he was firmly pressed to the ground, blood seeping from the corners of his eyes. He struggled to move his head and said:

"You hypocritical bunch, don't think I don't know your true purpose. Isn't it to steal the treasure the Jin family uses to explore the immortal veins? Even if the Jin family is wiped out, you might not be able to find it. And even if you do, how will you, with so many families, divide it up? Hahaha!"

Jin Hao's arrogant laughter made everyone present turn cold. Then he looked directly at Wan Qiyou and snorted:

"Wanqi You, you old scoundrel! This time, our Jin family was defeated by an ascended cultivator, not by your Wanqi family. If it weren't for Wei Yunxi, not a single disciple of the Jin family would have survived the secret realm!"

After saying that, he wanted to self-destruct his immortal infant, but how could Kuang Mei let Jin Hao succeed? He had already taken out his immortal infant first and said coldly:

"Jin Hao, you can't die now. If you don't reveal the whereabouts of the Evil Immortal, you'll be subjected to soul-searching." With that, he casually sealed Jin Hao's immortal infant, then addressed everyone present:

"Whatever your purpose may be, you must put it aside now. It concerns the Evil Immortal. Don't be swayed by his words. Take down the Jin family and the Evil Immortal behind them first."

"Yes, City Lord!"

Although Jin Hao saw through everyone's thoughts, they were not embarrassed. Now they had to consider the overall situation. They did not want the evil immortal to raid their home. So after seeing the conclusive evidence of the Jin family's collusion with the evil immortal, they all left the city lord's mansion and led their clan disciples to participate in the battle to besiege the Jin family.

Two quarters of an hour later, a huge pillar of light shot straight into the sky from the Jin family's territory. Two breaths later, the pillar of light began to spread throughout the entire territory, instantly covering the Jin family. The next second, the pillar of light turned blood red.

Five breaths later, the crimson pillar of light completely disappeared, leaving behind a pile of corpses, including disciples of the Jin family and immortals who had participated in the siege of the family. They had all had their cultivation, essence, blood, and immortal infants drained, and had perished silently.

Only then did the immortals realize the Jin family's hidden plan: they had set up an evil array centered on the Jin family, intending to sacrifice all the immortals in Wanhao Immortal City. Fortunately, Kuang Mei's solution was simple and brutal: to encircle and annihilate the Jin family as quickly as possible. Otherwise, it wouldn't be these immortals who would be dying now.

Because the Jin family brought this upon themselves, they were truly wiped out this time. Moreover, because of their actions, the Jin family became like rats crossing the street. Even the Jin family disciples who were lucky enough to escape this calamity had no choice but to cultivate in seclusion and fade out of the Central Immortal Realm.

However, the negative impact of this incident did not end there. Because Kuang Mei acted decisively, although the Jin family did not succeed completely in the end, some Jin family immortals and some disciples who participated in the siege were still sacrificed. Where the sacrificed power went became the next thing they needed to investigate.

At this point, the Central Immortal Realm entered a state of outward relaxation but inward tension. It began to investigate and eliminate evil immortals who had infiltrated the Central Immortal Realm. Before opening any secret realm, the identities of the immortals entering the realm would be strictly screened to ensure that the accident in the Forging Fire Secret Realm would not happen again.

Because Wan Qirui and Wan Qiyin accepted the inheritance, they broke through to the middle stage of the Heavenly Immortal realm in just four hundred years. Then they remembered everything and met privately.

Wan Qirui opened her round eyes and said:

"Sister Yin, we have come this far thanks to Fairy Ranxi's kindness. Wan Qiye and Wan Qili did not die unjustly, but should we tell the family about this?"

Wan Qiyin remained aloof as ever, though her feelings were somewhat complicated this time. Nevertheless, she spoke:
"In order to help us clear our names, Fairy Ranxi pinned the deaths of Wan Qiye and Wan Qili on the evil immortal who was possessed by the Jin family. We don't need to deny it, lest we incur the hatred of their blood relatives."

However, we can tell our family about our inheritance and explain that we were able to enter the Inheritance Stele with the help of Fairy Ranxi.

Her denial is easily explained: it was entirely to protect us. Furthermore, once inside the Inheritance Monument, we won't remember anything that happened before, and I believe the elders will understand.

Wan Qirui nodded repeatedly, clenching her fist as she said:
"After learning that we sisters have inherited the legacy, the elders will definitely focus on nurturing us. We will not become pawns for the family's expansion, as Wan Qiye claims."
