Chapter 1246: The Uninjured Master

ne other than Liu Tianren, the strongest warrior of 100,000 Mang Mountains who had been used by his grandfather to stop the Wind Tribe's six years of harassment.Ancient wasn't aware of these things, c...Five Sects of the Dao!

These four words were like four mountains, pressing heavily on the hearts of Kong Meng and the others. It made their just-relaxed mood once again become extremely heavy.

Although their home was just within sight, their hearts were filled with anxiety and fear. No one spoke a word as they walked in silence until they reached the gate of Kong's house.

Seeing the appearance of these juniors, although Kong Benchu's heart was also under pressure, as an elder, he had to force himself to cheer up and said to everyone: "You don't have to worry too much. Remember, this is our home. Even the Five Elements Dao Sect, on our Kong family's territory, cannot do whatever they want."

"Alright, you've all worked hard and are tired, so go rest up!"

Kong Benchu's comfort apparently didn't have much effect. Though no one dared to say much, everyone still wore worried expressions and dispersed on their own.

After everyone had left, Kong Benchu then turned to Jiang Yun and said: "Jiang Daoist friend, let me have Meng'er arrange a place for you to stay first. You should rest for a while. I will treat you to a welcome dinner later!"

Jiang Yun knew very well that even though he and Kong Wu Shang were from the same sect and had shown enough sincerity towards the Kong family, after all, he was still an outsider.

And Kong Benchu's heart was indeed not bad. It was obvious that he was trying his best to avoid a direct confrontation with the people from Wu Xing Dao Zong, so he deliberately distanced himself.

As a guest, he couldn't possibly insist strongly on meeting the people of the Wu Xing Dao Zong with Kong Benchu. So Jiang Yun nodded and said, "Okay!"

"Meng'er, welcome Elder Ginger!"

After giving Kong Meng a few simple instructions, Kong Benchu bowed to Jiang Yun and said, “Then, Daoist Jiang, I shall take my leave!”

Looking at Kong Benchu's hurried departing figure, Kong Meng suddenly winked and lowered his voice, "Brother Jiang, why don't we secretly follow him and take a look"

Kǒngmèng's words caused Jiāngyún to be taken aback. "This... isn't quite right, is it"

Being new to the Kong family, Kong Benchu had deliberately kept himself apart. Now, I had to sneakily follow him, trying to eavesdrop on their conversation. Thankfully, I hadn't been spotted yet. If I were caught, my reputation would be ruined!

Moreover, now that Kong Benchu was visiting a master at the Heavenly Tribulation Realm, although he was confident in not being detected, with Kong Meng joining him, it would be hard to say for sure.

However, Kong Meng continued, “Don’t worry, Big Brother Jiang, there is a secret chamber in our Kong family’s council hall with several layers of protective formations. It won’t be discovered.”

"Besides, Guan Jia called for people from the Five Elements Dao Sect, he must want to use their power to force my ancestors to agree to this marriage. This concerns my happiness for life, Big Brother Jiang, please accompany me!"

At this point, Kong Meng's eyes were red-rimmed, tears welling up in their sockets. She looked pitifully at Jiang Yun.

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Jiang Yun could only helplessly say: "Alright, I'll go with you!"

"That's great!"

Kong Meng suddenly burst into laughter. He grabbed Jiang Yun's hand and ran straight toward the Kong family's council hall.

Along the way, they encountered several servants of the Kong family. Although their faces were also filled with worry, when they saw Kong Meng holding hands with a stranger, they couldn't help but be taken aback.

Kong Meng ignored all of that and hurriedly brought Jiang Yun to a secret room, stepping into a small teleportation array.

With the formation's activation, Jiang Yun and Kong Meng found themselves within a smaller, confined chamber.

This chamber is only about ten paces square. The floor and walls are indeed decorated with many spirit stones, arranged in several formations to isolate the area.

And on one side of the wall there was a window, through which you could clearly see a large hall outside.

Ginger Cloud didn't go to the hall first, but scanned this secret room. He understood in his heart that the purpose of this secret room was definitely for the Kong family to arrange assassins.

Inside the hall, besides Kong Benchu who had just entered, there were four other people.

From where they were sitting, it was clear that the Kong family had two people, while the Guan family had three.

Jiang Yun's gaze swept over the five people before landing on the three from the Guan family.

Three people from the Guan family, two elders and one young.

The man in his thirties, wasn't particularly handsome, but there was a proud look in his eyes and between his brows.

In Jiangyun's opinion, he should be the person Guanjia introduced to Kong Meng - Guan Zhifei!

As for the two elderly men, one was dressed in brocade robes, slightly plump, and had a smile on his face.

Another elderly man appeared to be only in his fifties. He was thin and had a goatee.

Ginger Cloud's eyes fixed straight on this person.

Although this elder had his eyes closed, the powerful aura emanating from his lean body clearly indicated that he was the formidable expert of the Heavenly Human Five Tribulations Realm from the WuXing Dao Sect.

And upon seeing this elder, Kong Meng couldn't help but exclaim, "Oh! It's him!"

Jiang Yun's heart moved. "Could he be Master Wushang"

"Yes!" Kong Meng nodded repeatedly. "He's an elder from the Wuxing Daozong, named Zong Bai."

"Back then, my older brother became his disciple. He was very kind to our Kong family. However, ever since my older brother went missing, his attitude towards our Kong family has changed."

At this moment, a middle-aged man from the Kong family spoke up in the hall: "Guan Peng, matters between our two families should be settled by our two families."

"But today you invited Elder Zong here, don't you intend to use Elder Zong's reputation to bully my Kong family"

This man is the head of the Kong family, Kong Xuehai, and the Guan Peng he mentioned is the old man in brocade, the head of the Guan family.

Guan Peng shook his head and said, "Brother Kong, your words are wrong. Although the previous conflict was between our two families, a private matter, it now involves Elder Zong."

Because, Zong Senior is now Zhi Fei's master!

As soon as those words were spoken, Kong Xuehai and Kong Benchu couldn't help but glance at each other. Their expressions instantly turned grave.

The Bai clan has always been at odds with the Kong family, and now Guan Zhifei has become his disciple. That means he's definitely going to support the Guan family fully!

Guan Zhifei also sneered coldly: "Master Kong, today Master came here specially to propose marriage for me, which also gives your Kong family face. I think you shouldn't refuse my master's face, right"

“This…”

None of them dared to speak.

Guanjia and the Kong family have completely torn apart. At least the Kong family still has a fighting chance, but now that Zong Bai has entered the fray, it means that the Wuxing Daozong has also entered the situation.

Even if the Kong family had the greatest courage, they would not dare to confront the Five Elements Dao Sect head-on!

After a moment of silence, Kong Benchu stood up and bowed to Zong Bai. "Senior Zong, in principle, we should certainly give you face since you've come in person, but…"

Before Kong Benchu could finish his words, Zong Bai, who had been keeping his eyes closed all along, suddenly opened them slightly.

Just as he was about to speak, two cold lights shot out, locking onto Kong Benchu's face. Kong Benchu trembled instantly, and the words behind him died in his throat.

At this moment, Guan Peng suddenly smiled and said, "Master Zong, please calm your anger."

With Guan Peng's opening, Zong Bai actually closed his eyes again.

Guan Peng looked at Kong Benchu and said, "As the saying goes, a forced melon is not sweet. We don't want to make things difficult for others, so how about this I have a compromise proposal."

Kong Benchu and the other two continued to stare silently at Guan Peng, unable to figure out what he was up to.

Guan Peng continued, "Although our two families have been fighting for so many years, my Guan family is not willing to truly exterminate the Kong family. So I can give your Kong family two options."

"The first rule: Among your younger generation of the Kong family, if anyone can defeat Zhi Fei, then this marriage is off!"

"The second option is that Kong Meng doesn't marry Zhi Fei, but you have to hand over your Kong family's Fire Spirit Pearl!"
