"What?!"
*Boom!*
A terrifying spiritual qi exploded as Wei Jian face twisted with shock and rage.
" Are you sure of this news?!"
" The ancestor is really dead?"
The elders questioned the man with shock and fear.
The cultivation realms were divided into body refining, Qi refining, foundation establishment, golden core, nascent soul, spirit severing, void refinement, Dao comprehension, half-step immortal and mystic ascension.
With Wei Chan being a mystic ascension even half-step immortal cultivators couldn't injure him no less kill him.
" How is it possible?" Wei Jian coldly asked as he stared at the man, his spiritual qi pressing down on every one present.
" Patriarch r-rein in your aura!!"
The elders face became pale as they tried their best to maintain consciousness.
" P-Patriarch I don't know " The man said fearfully.
" Summon Wei Wang for me " Wu Jian commanded.
" Y-yes Patriarch!" The man cupped his hand in salute as he hurriedly left the hall.
Few minutes later, Wei Wang looking tattered and missing an arm walked into the meeting hall his face pale with fear.
" Wei Wang, where's the ancestor? " Wei Jian asked as he stared at Wei Wang coldly, one wouldn't even associate them as family members.
" F-Fa--Patriarch, ancestor Wei Chan was killed by an Immortal from the cloud blossom sect " Wei Wang said as he bowed not daring to lift his head up.
" Nonsense!"
*Boom!*
A wild unrestrained aura burst out of Wei Jian body, some elders fainted while others pale, held on.
Surprisingly Wei Wang bearing the aura, still stayed conscious, " I-It's true, they called him Wenbo, F-Patriarch you have to avenge me!!"
" Nonsense, get out of my sight!!" Wei Jian snort in anger.
*Bang!*
Spiritual qi surged blasting Wei Wang out of the meeting hall.
" Patriarch what do we do?!!"
" If the ancestor is dead, won't our clan be denoted it will only be the four immortal clans soon!!"
The elders stared at Wei Jian in panic, a clan or sect could have the prefix 'Immortal' only when an immortal being reside in that clan or sect, but if there were no immortal the demotion if that clan or sect was sure, for the Immortal thunder clan who had the position for decades this was unacceptable.
*Boom!*
Wu Jian clenched his the arm rest of the throne directly destroying it.
" Patriarch of the Immortal thunder clan, they is a message from the Xuanghuan empire "
A male voice sounded from outside the hall.
Wei Jian frowned slightly as he commanded, " Come in "
The door of the meeting hall was pushed as a man wearing a luxurious purple robe came inside.
" Zhang Lei from Xuanghuan empire greets the patriarch " The man said as he cupped his hand in a salute.
" Hmm " Wei Jian nod curtly as he asked, " What brings the Xuanghuan escort here?"
" The Xuanghuan empire has recently discovered an Immortal realm of unknown root and we plan on gathering all immortals from the Xuanghuan empire for the exploration..... " Still cupping his hand Zhang Lei continued, "Though after the exploration all Immortals must present 50% of what ever they gain, but it is not without repayment as all the disciples from the Immortal sects and clans have an opportunity to access Xuanghuan empire secret realm "
Saying that Zhang Lei bowed hiding a mocking smile.
*Crack!*
The other armrest showed signs of breaking as Wei Jian squeezed it, suppressing his anger.
" Report to his majesty that we will think about it " Wei Jian said.
" Hmm, his Highness will be aware " Zhang Lei nod as he stood up and walk out of the hall.
*Bang!*
"Xuanghuan empire...."
The armrest broke as Wei Jian growled as he and the elders expression darkened.
How could they not see the mocking intent from the Xuanghuan empire?
Unlike they the Immortal thunder clan, who find it below themselves to plant spies in low class sect and clans, the Xuanghuan empire being the only empire in the midst of over a hundred sects and clans had spies everywhere, the death of their ancestor; Wei Chan would have naturally be known to them but they still propose the expedition.
" Patriarch what do we do? " An elder asked.
" Of course we decline do we have any Immortal in the clan again?" Wei Jain said angrily.
"...."
.......
The news of Xuanghuan empire invitation to all immortal clan and sects soon spread as they invited not only the cloud blossom sect and the Immortal thunder clan but also other 34 immortal clans and sect.
But a single news soon overshadowed it, the ancestor of the Immortal thunder clan was dead, killed by a new immortal, this had caused an uproar as the Immortal thunder clan was among the top five immortal clans in the Xuanghuan empire.
" It seems the five immortal clans will soon turn to four "
" Hmph, of course not they are other immortal clans all vying for the position, I just wonder how the Immortal thunder clan will fare "
...
" Do you know the immortal that killed the ancestor of the Immortal thunder clan?"
" I heard it was an elder from the cloud blossom sect just 200 years old"
"Hiss, that young?!"
The topic soon became the most discussed among both mortals and cultivators.
......
Cloud blossom sect.
The second peak.
Yunxi sat in a lotus position as the energy of heaven and earth converge within her, an illusory image of a golden bell soon form around her.
' I've only reached the initial stage of the Buddha's bell, I should also comprehend the shadow step mirage ' Yunxi thought as she reviewed the information of the shadow step mirage.
Unknown to Yunxi the void behind her rippled as a figure step outside; Wenbo.
' Hmm, you should train more after all you're my trump card ' Wenbo thought with a smile.
" Junior brother Wenbo "
A cold female voice resounded in the entire second peak as a link escaping light approached.
Yunxi opened her eyes as she stared at the escaping light in confusion.
" You should go, rest a little " Wenbo said as he pat her shoulder.
" Master?! " Though surprised Yunxi still cupped her hand in salute and then walked off.
Wenbo smiled, " Welcome senior sister Yingxue to my humble abode"
