Immortal Cultivation Families: The Rise of the Jinling Immortal Clan

"Yes, Yu Hui, calm down and sit down first." Xia Guangyan, who was standing to the side, also did not want to see the two families start fighting, so he quickly tried to persuade them.

Seeing that someone was giving him a way out, Cai Yuandan withdrew all his demonic energy, snorted coldly, and sat down.

He suffered heavy losses this time, not only exposing his identity as a demonic cultivator, but also being severely humiliated by Xia Yuhui.

If he had known this would happen, he would never have come.

"Your Xia family is so arrogant and bullying. This arena battle should not involve taking lives, but that brat is so aggressive, trying to take the lives of my Cai family cultivators. How can I sit idly by?"

"Hmph! This matter is none of your concern. If Liang Chou truly intends to violate the rules, my Xia family cultivators will stop him. You old codger who cultivates demonic arts, how dare you disregard your dignity and attack a junior? What exactly are your intentions?"

"Alright, both of you, please don't be angry. I'll take the liberty of making a decision today. You two are both at fault in this matter, so why don't you each compromise? Clan Chief Xia, please don't pursue the matter of Brother Cai injuring Xia boy, and the competition should continue as it was just now. What do you all think?" Qiu Lin said with a kind expression.

Jin Shengguang, who had the highest cultivation level present, did not make any move, but simply watched the farce with a smile.

The Jin family has always only shown its domineering attitude towards Jinling County when it comes to matters of interest; they have always been indifferent to these trivial matters.

After a brief discussion, the two agreed to Qiu Lin's mediation.

“Cai Yuandan, I know all about the despicable methods your Cai family has used. If your enemies die for no reason in the future, I think you should know the consequences. You'd better protect your own head then.” As soon as he sat down, Xia Yuhui seemed to remember something and warned Cai Yuandan telepathically.

Cai Yuandan's face stiffened, but he did not respond.

A rebuttal without substance is like the barking of a stray dog ​​on the roadside; even if you speak, Xia Yuhui will certainly not care.

Soon, the scene on the arena returned to the one where Xia Liangchou had stepped on Cai Fangtao's head. The surrounding rogue cultivators dared not make a sound, for fear of offending those high and mighty Foundation Establishment cultivators.

However, they also noticed some clues: the Xia family, which used to be at the bottom of Jinling County, seemed to have completely crushed the Cai family.

Meanwhile, on the arena, Xia Liangchou, having regulated the chaotic energy within his body, was contemplating his next move.

At this moment, he must have wanted to kill Cai Fangtao on the spot, but the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Cai family were watching him from afar, which made him feel a lot of pressure.

Finally, Xia Liangchou, with a solemn expression, spat a mouthful of phlegm onto Cai Fangtao's face, and then kicked him off the stage.

Xia Liangchou understood that the reason he let Cai Fangtao go was not because there was a Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Cai family in the distance, but for the benefit of his family.

If he were to actually kill this person today, he might feel a momentary sense of satisfaction, but in the future, the Cai family would inevitably choose to wage war against them to save face. Therefore, he absolutely cannot act in this way.

The referee, Xia Guang'en, who was standing to the side, breathed a slight sigh of relief after witnessing this scene.

Xia Yuhui, seated at the head of the table, nodded slightly in approval, thinking to himself: This young man is adaptable and will surely amount to something great in the future. At this moment, Xia Yuhui had already decided to carefully cultivate him.

"Xia Liang Qiu Sheng!"

"it is good!"

"Ninth Brother, well done."

"Xiao Jiu, cheer up, don't embarrass us!" Xia Yuren shouted from below.

Meanwhile, Cai Yuandan, who was sitting upright in a chair above, had his eyes closed and his lips trembled slightly.

"Next match: Xia Liangxin vs. Xia Liangmu!"

.........

After several fierce battles, the fights between those below the late stage of Qi Refining came to an end. The final results showed that Xia Lianghe ranked first, Xia Liangxin ranked second, and Xia Liangmu ranked third.

This result was not unexpected. Xia Liangxin and Xia Lianghe were both exceptionally talented, while Xia Liangmu, with his age advantage, defeated the other members of the Liang generation.

In this battle, Xia Lianghe was the one who stood out the most.

He somehow found a powerful lion-tiger eagle, which was exceptionally fierce in battle and whose strength was enough to rival that of a typical late-stage Qi Refining cultivator.

Thanks to the eagle's assistance, Xia Yuhui was unable to ascertain Xia Lianghe's true strength.

However, Xia Yuhui knew very well that Xia Lianghe was the most promising junior among the Liangzi generation that should be given special attention and cultivation, and there was no doubt about that.

Soon, battles began with cultivators at the late stage of Qi Refining and above. This competition was exceptionally exciting, with many cultivators at the seventh and eighth levels of Qi Refining, and even a few experts at the ninth level of Qi Refining.

The Cai family also sent two cultivators at the ninth level of Qi Refining, but they were easily defeated by Xia Yufeng and Xia Yuren, two of the four outstanding members of the Xia family.

Now, both of them have reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, and Xia Yufeng seems to have mastered the family's body refining technique to perfection. Some mid-grade magic weapons can no longer cause him any real harm when they strike him.

After the arena battle ended, the entire ceremony also came to a close. Most of the food on the cultivators' tables had been eaten, and some cultivators had already left.

Xia Yuhui and Xia Guangyan remained calm and politely saw the Foundation Establishment cultivators out the door. Only after everyone had left did they remove their disguises.

"Alas, I am really not good at this kind of thing. Talking to these people is more tiring than fighting with others."

"As the clan leader, you must shoulder the responsibilities of the clan leader, otherwise my Xia family ancestors might crawl out of their graves and teach you a lesson." Xia Guangyan joked with a smile. He was quite adept at handling this situation. After all, he had cultivated in the sect since childhood. If he couldn't even handle this kind of thing, he would probably have been devoured by his fellow disciples long ago.

“Yes, Yuhui, there will be many more things like this in the future. You’ll get the hang of it after experiencing it a few more times. Besides, judging from your performance just now, you don’t seem to be clueless.” Xia Guangchang and Xia Guangyang walked up from behind.

Xia Yuhui touched his nose. "Where? I've always stayed in the family, how could I learn these things?"

"Hehe, you brat, stop talking nonsense. Chen Ruhai from the Chen family wants to see you. Let's all go see him together. He just discussed with me his desire to become a vassal of the Xia family."

"Oh, I do know this person, and I know his personality. This kind of person probably doesn't genuinely want to become a vassal."

"Sigh, he's not alone."

Soon, the four arrived at the council hall. Chen Ruhai was standing respectfully at the door waiting for them. As soon as they arrived, he immediately bowed respectfully to each of them.

"Chen Ruhai of the Chen family pays his respects to the two seniors and the two elders."

“Fellow Daoist Chen, there’s no need for such formalities. There’s no need for such grand gestures between us. Come, let’s go inside and talk in detail.”

After speaking, Xia Yuhui led Chen Ruhai into the hall, with Xia Guangyan and the others following closely behind.

"Senior Xia, my Chen family was once an appendage of the Xia family. However, fifty years ago, a sudden change occurred, forcing us to break away from the Xia family. Now, I will tell you the truth: the Xia family has risen again, and my Chen family is willing to serve the Xia family once more."

After everyone was seated, Chen Ruhai hurriedly addressed them.

Since parting ways with the Xia family, the Chen family's situation in Jinling County has deteriorated. Not only has their strength not improved, but it has also been greatly weakened. Currently, the strongest members of the family are only two at the ninth level of Qi Refining.

As for the idea of ​​becoming a Foundation Establishment family, it's nothing short of a pipe dream. In terms of territory, the Chen family only has a mid-grade first-level spiritual vein. In terms of industry, the Chen family also lacks advanced cultivation techniques. A family like theirs would find it difficult to rise to prominence without the guidance of a genius.
