Immortal Cultivation Families: The Rise of the Jinling Immortal Clan

After taking the pills, Xia Yuhui turned and left. The family members must have been waiting for a long time; it was time to give them a boost of morale...

Inside the family council hall, a long table was placed horizontally, with eleven late-stage Qi Refining cultivators from the Xia family seated at either end. On the left, the older generation of the family, led by Xia Guangchang, sat upright; on the right, the younger generation of the family, led by Xia Yuhua, sat upright.

Among these people, there were three cultivators at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining: Elder Xia Guangchang, Second Elder Xia Guangyang, and Xia Guangyao, who looked dejected.

In addition, Xia Yuhua, Xia Yuren, Xia Yufeng, and Xia Guangze, who narrowly escaped from the last battle, have all reached the eighth level of Qi Refining. As for the others, they are all at the seventh level of Qi Refining.

However, among the cultivators at the seventh level of Qi Refining, in addition to the three of the Guang generation—Xia Guangjian (ranked 13th), Xia Guangwu (ranked 16th), and Xia Guangfang (ranked 18th)—Xia Yuyao, the third of the Yu generation, unexpectedly broke through to the seventh level of Qi Refining at the age of 42.

These people are not all of the Xia family's late-stage Qi Refining cultivators. In addition, there are two other late-stage Qi Refining cultivators, but they are not of the same surname and therefore are not qualified to attend this meeting.

At this moment, apart from the First Elder Xia Guangchang and Xia Yuhua, the rest of the Xia family's high-ranking members were whispering among themselves about when they would be summoned here.

"Hey! Eighth Brother, the First Elder summoned us here, it seems he's waiting for someone. Do you think it might be Uncle Yan from Guiyun Sect who broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage and returned to the family?" Xia Yuyao nudged Xia Yufeng beside her and asked.

"Sigh, Third Sister, even you don't know, how could I possibly know?" Xia Yufeng, who was lost in thought, was interrupted and replied helplessly.

Xia Yuren, who was sitting in front of Xia Yufeng and fiddling with a tortoise on the table, heard their discussion and immediately said, "Perhaps there is only this possibility. Originally, my elder brother was preparing to gather us together to escape the ancient kingdom. But now he has suddenly stopped. This can only mean that a new Foundation Establishment cultivator has appeared in the family."

Upon hearing this, even the usually stern and unsmiling Second Elder Xia Guangyang trembled slightly, clearly unable to conceal his excitement.

Xia Guangyao, who had been keeping his head down and remaining silent, turned around excitedly upon hearing this, "Elder, is this true?"

"You will understand once the others arrive." Xia Guangchang did not tell everyone the truth, since Xia Yuhui had not instructed him to do so.

Although Xia Guangyao did not get the answer he expected, a name suddenly popped into his mind—Xia Yuhui.

Meanwhile, Xia Yuhua, who was sitting on the other side, was constantly being shaken by Xia Yuren, but she remained silent.

Just then, the door outside suddenly opened, and Xia Yuhui appeared on the main seat almost instantly. Everyone was surprised, and the thought of how fast he was moving came to mind.

Xia Yuhua and Xia Guangchang immediately stood up and bowed, "Welcome, clan leader!" Clearly, the two must have discussed this beforehand, otherwise Xia Yuhua would not have acted this way.

When everyone saw that the newcomer was Xia Yuhui, they all stopped what they were doing. They were even more shocked to see the two representatives of the family bow to Xia Yuhui and address him as the clan leader. However, when the jade pendant on Xia Yuhui's waist came into view, they also immediately bowed respectfully.

Xia Yuhui raised his arm slightly, and a magical force lifted everyone up. He then said slowly, "Everyone, I have now broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage and have succeeded to the position of clan leader according to the last wish of the old clan leader. In the future, I hope that you will all address me as clan leader when holding important meetings, and I will not forget to treat you with the respect due to a junior in private."

Sensing the magical power emanating from Xia Yuhui, everyone was startled, but quickly regained their senses. Such powerful magical power had only been felt by the old patriarch, and Xia Yuhui's ability to wield such power speaks volumes about his cultivation level.

The composed Xia Yuren immediately spoke in a deep voice: "Hehe, Fifth Brother, you have succeeded. My family has hope now."

Xia Yufeng: "In this light, my Xia family is still the same Xia family, not some Qi Refining Xia family."

"Yu Hui, do you know how your 15th uncle died? You must avenge him!" Xia Guangze roared in a deep voice, his eyes turning red as soon as he learned that Xia Yu Hui had achieved Foundation Establishment.

“That’s right, Yu Hui. And what about the clansmen who have been hunted down by these two families in recent years? Do you know how many people my Xia family has lost in these years? Even you are now wanted by these two families with a bounty of 2000 spirit stones.” Xia Yuyao said solemnly.

As soon as these people finished speaking, the others began to recount the injustices they had suffered over the years.

Xia Yuhui did not stop him, but listened silently, his hands clenched tightly and trembling slightly.

"Alright, everyone shut up. Let's hear what the clan leader has to say." Xia Guangchang, who was standing to the side, finally couldn't hold back and interrupted everyone sternly.

After everyone quieted down, Xia Yuhui slowly spoke, "Don't worry! I will repay the humiliation my family has suffered a hundredfold or a thousandfold. Neither of those two families will escape."

Upon hearing Xia Yuhui's promise, everyone showed expressions of relief and joy, some even unable to contain themselves and began to sob softly.

"Now, do not spread the news of my breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment stage, not even to other members of the family. If anyone asks, say that I am no longer in the ancient kingdom. Give me three years. After three years, I will take action. What you must do now is to guard the mountains and not go out for three years. After three years, I will personally lead you to avenge our defeat."

Upon hearing these words, everyone was extremely excited. However, Xia Guangchang solemnly advised, "Clan leader, I know your intentions, but you must not rush into revenge. The Cai family and the Chimu family have four Foundation Establishment cultivators on the surface. With the current strength of the Xia family, it is difficult to contend with them. Even when the old clan leader was alive, we could only be bullied by the two families."

Xia Yuhui's lips curled slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, Elder. This time, it's not that my Xia family is directly confronting the two families, but rather that Linggui Daoist is stirring up trouble in Jinling County from the rear."

"Well, this..."

"Alright, Elder, I have my own plans and will not implicate the family."

In the end, Xia Guangchang reluctantly agreed.

"Alright, quickly go and restrain the clansmen, ordering them to stay within the clan and not to go out. They must not even entertain any thoughts of organizing a counterattack. Oh, and Third Sister, you stay here."

Everyone was taken aback, glancing at Xia Yuyao with a puzzled look, but ultimately remained silent and departed. They had arrived with sorrowful faces, but left with light steps, as if the Xia family of yesteryear had returned.

Xia Yuyao, sitting upright in the chair, had a solemn expression and her hands were clenched tightly, looking very nervous.

After everyone left, Xia Yuhui stepped forward and said, "Third Sister, stop pretending. Now that I have reached the Foundation Establishment stage, I can see through your demonic aura. Do you know that acting in this way violates the family rules?"

Seeing that her scheme had been exposed, Xia Yuyao was extremely anxious and quickly stood up. "Fifth brother, I know you care about me a lot. Third sister begs you, please don't expel me from the family. I was just confused at the time. Last time the family faced a crisis, you all went to help, but I could only be trapped in the market like a cripple. Do you know how helpless I was then?"
