Chapter 1272: Still Don't Understand

ext, with every word Ginger Cloud uttered, a corresponding elemental object would rise above one of his fingertips.As soon as he finished speaking those five words, five distinct elements materialized...Within the Kong family, every single member of the Kong family suddenly felt their hearts sink heavily, a profound sense of loss sweeping over them all in an instant.

It seems that something extremely important has been lost in their lives.

"Supreme Ancestor!"

"Grandmaster!

"

After a shudder ran through both Kong Xuehai and Kong Benchu, they simultaneously opened their mouths, locking eyes. In each other's gaze, they saw profound shock and sorrow.

Kong Meng, who had long since awakened from his coma, became incredibly pale. He clutched at his chest with force, tears streaming down his face as he knelt on the ground with a thud.

The existence of the Taishang Patriarch is a secret known to only a few within the Kong family.

Therefore, only they, when feeling this profound sense of loss rising within them, could immediately understand that the Patriarch of their clan, the elder who had protected the Kong family for thousands of years, was gone forever!

Just a moment later, within the land of Kong family, Kong Xuehai's Dao Spirit avatar also suddenly opened his eyes. He looked at the blood-colored light appearing before him, and the unconscious figure wrapped inside it.

Ginger cloud!

Before his self-destruction, the Kong Family Ancestor used a mouthful of his own blood essence to envelop Jiang Yun, and in a special way, safely sent him back to the Kong Family.

……

Within the rift where Jiang Yun crossed the tribulation, in a darkness spanning tens of thousands of miles, there were countless embers that refused to be extinguished.

Although these flames were not large, their burning made this darkness as if it were paper, twisted and deformed.

"Rip!"

Suddenly, a piece of darkness was forcefully torn open by a hand, and a red figure walked out from within.

This person's entire body was drenched in blood. Their face, which was already covered with countless scars, bore several fresh wounds as well.

Especially, one of his arms was completely gone, and at the place where it had been severed, a wisp of flame was still burning wildly.

Of course, he is Huo Qiye!

The self-detonation of Kongjia's ancestor didn't kill him, but it did injure him, even destroying one of his arms.

At this moment, Huo Qianye's face had twisted into a ferocious grimace. He didn't even look at the burning flames where his arm had been severed. Gritting his teeth, he said: "I finally understand, the reason you self-destructed wasn't just because you weren't my match. Your true purpose was to conceal your real identity!"

But, do you think that you could fool me like this

Even though you've tried your best to avoid using your path, unfortunately, like me, you practice the same kind of path!

"Whether it's a sect proficient in the Way of Five Elements or a cultivator, almost all of them are recorded within my Wǔxíng Dàozōng."

And those who have mastered the way of fire and reached the realm of Heaven and Man's Five Tribulations, are even rarer!

"Don't worry, I will definitely know who you are!"

Then, I will throw your relatives, your fellow disciples, everyone who has a relationship with you, all into the sea of fire!

"As for that cultivator who killed Zong Bai, I will also find him!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Huo Qianye's figure vanished from its original spot. He turned back to the Five Elements Dao Sect to find out the true identity of the person who had blown himself up!

……

In the Realm of Extinction, Jiang Yun's physical body and Dao body wore grim expressions and looked cold.

Although he knew something was wrong with his host's body, he had no idea what it was.

He only felt a tremendously powerful force surge within his original body, and then his original self lost consciousness, falling into a coma, severing the connection between them.

The only thing that set his mind at ease was that he, at least, was still alive!

And Tianluo, who was sitting opposite him, showed a look of interest and said: "Well, according to my method, your main body should have successfully passed the first tribulation of heaven and human, right"

"Your tribulation is over, but not in the way you intended," the Fleshly Realm Sovereign said coldly.

"Didn't you" Tianluo was taken aback for a moment, then shook her head and said, "That can only mean your true self didn't understand what I just said at all, wasting my good intentions!"

The physical body arched his brow slightly and said, "Aren't you just making me, with the power of nine clans, go against the might of the Dao"

“Counter” Tianluo shook his head again. “You and your main body, you still don’t understand, don’t you”

As the words left his lips, Tianluo rose to his feet and moved slowly away, his figure gradually fading until only Jiang Yun's physical body remained seated, pondering the meaning behind Tianluo's words.

……

Time flies, and it's already been a month!

This past month has been the happiest one for the Kong family in decades.

Because a lot of big things happened this month!

First, of course, is Kong Wushang's return;

Although Kong Wushang was suddenly taken back to the Kong family after the competition due to a relapse of his injuries, news has spread that his condition is gradually improving.

Next, there's the Guan family, who have been fighting the Kong family for decades. It's unclear whether it was Guan Zhifei's defeat in battle or some other reason, but they suddenly began to scale back their influence and even returned some of the businesses and territories they had seized from the Kong family.

The last major event is that Zong Bai, the elder of the Wuxing Daozong and the mountain that has always pressed down on the Kong family these years, was killed by an unknown mysterious person!

These three major events, especially the last one, caused quite a stir throughout the Kong family!

This also means that from now on, the Kong family can truly sleep soundly and no longer have to worry about the threats from the Guan family and Zong Bai.

And without these external pressures, the Kong family members could cultivate with peace of mind.

Besides, once Kong Wushang has recovered, it won't be long before the Kong family can return to its former glory, and even surpass it.

However, compared to the joy and ease of other members of the Kong family, Kong Xuesai and Kong Benchu spent this past month in extreme gloom!

The fall of the supreme ancestor made them too afraid to tell anyone, and they didn't dare to investigate the truth behind the ancestor's death.

I can only bury this immense sorrow deep within my heart, and every day I must force a smile to face my own people.

Besides, what they worried about most naturally was Jiang Yun!

They had no idea what Ginger Cloud had experienced when he killed Zong Bai. Their divine sense couldn't penetrate Ginger Cloud's body, so for Ginger Cloud, who was always in a coma, they were completely helpless.

All they could do was send one person down to the earth each day to watch over Jiang Yun, waiting for him to wake up.

Today, it is Kong Benchu's turn to guard Ginger Cloud!

Looking at Jiang Yun, who had been asleep for a whole month, Kong Benchu sighed and couldn't help but think back to the first time he met Jiang Yun.

Actually, that day, Kong Xiu carefully checked every passenger who boarded the ship, including Jiang Yun.

But at that time, in Ginger Cloud's own eyes, there was nothing peculiar about himself.

But it was this ordinary young man who not only repeatedly saved himself and others, but also saved his entire family!

Now the Kong family has seen a glimmer of hope for revival, but Jiang Yun lies here unconscious. This fills Kong Benchu's heart with immense guilt.

"Ginger friend, wake up quickly!"

Just as the sound of Kong Ben's voice fell, a groan suddenly came from Jiang Yun's mouth.

"You're awake!"

Kong Benchu was taken aback for a moment before his face lit up with joy. He immediately rushed to Jiang Yun's face.

Gingercloud was indeed awake, but before his eyes could open, he urgently said, “Quickly, look at my back!”
