held up the orb and offered it to Jiang Yun. In an instant, the orb vanished.After finishing everything, a look of relief appeared on the man's face. He smiled and nodded slightly before turning to l...The sound of that aged voice caused those rushing towards the sky to involuntarily change their expressions.

Because they all felt a terrifying pressure suddenly descending from the sky, covering them and immobilizing their bodies.

Especially Guan Peng was even more surprised, blurting out, "Old Monster Kong, you're actually still alive!"

A raspy voice echoed once more, "Hmph, that old geezer from the Guan family is still alive and kicking. How could I possibly die before him If I have to die, I'll drag him down with me!"

Even Guan Peng wasn't very clear about the existence of Kong Jia Taishang Ancestor, let alone other people.

However, they could sense that this old monster Kong's strength far surpassed their own!

"Alright, everyone, let's continue the conversation back at my Kong family residence!"

As the elder’s words fell, all of their figures flew uncontrollably towards the Kong family.

As Kong Xuehai and Kong Benchu let out a breath of relief at the same time, they didn't dare to delay. They hurried back to their Kong family home and found Kong Xiu and Kong Meng both unconscious.

Ginger Cloud, has already disappeared without a trace!

Kong Xuehai, with a sweeping gesture of his large sleeve, lifted Kong Xiu and Kong Meng up, sending them out of the room. Then, with a worried expression, he turned to Kong Benchu and said: "Ancestor, will he succeed"

Kong Benchu remained silent for a moment before nodding and saying: "Killing Zong Bai shouldn't be difficult for the powerful being residing within him."

But I'm worried that this will be known to the Wuxing Daozong, and with the Wuxing Daozong's strength, it wouldn't be difficult for them to find him!

Just as Kong Xuehai was about to speak, the sound of Taishang Laozu's voice rang in both their ears at the same time: "What is going on here Is that child who just left Wushang"

Then, a tall and imposing old man with red hair and beard appeared before them. He had a rough appearance, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, and an air of authority that commanded respect.

The two people hurriedly bowed and said, "Greetings to the Supreme Ancestor!"

The old man waved his hand and said, “Alright, just tell me what happened. What’s the meaning behind keeping those people here”

Kǒngběnchū did not dare to neglect. He told everything that had happened to him from the moment he met Jiāng Yún until now.

After hearing this, the elder's eyebrows were already furrowed together and he said: "So, is that Jiang Yun now going after Zong Bai"

"Yes!"

Even I am no match for Zong Bai, how could he have killed him

"He should be able to. Given Zongbai's character, if he wasn't extremely wary of that powerful individual, he wouldn't have been scared off."

After a moment of contemplation, the old man suddenly glared fiercely at the two people in front of him and said: “As the head of the family and ancestor, you are clearly our Kong family’s grievances, but now you want to let an outsider, and moreover, a disciple of the same sect as Wushang, come to solve it for you!”

"You're just sitting here waiting for the fruits of our labor! What can I even say about you people!"

Kǒng Xuéhǎi and Kǒng Běnhū were so chastised that they didn't dare to speak, only bowing their heads.

"Well, things have come to this. There's no point in saying more. Remember, Ginger Cloud has done us Kong family a great favor. No matter if he succeeds or not in the end, you must all repay him well!"

"Yes!"

"You guys continue to stay here and try to control those people. I'll go take a look and see if this little guy is really as amazing as you all say!"

Seeing that the Patriarch Taishang was about to leave, Kong Xuehai hesitated for a moment and then hurriedly mustered his courage and said, "Patriarch Taishang, I have an idea."

The Supreme Patriarch stopped, looked at him and said, "Speak!"

"If Jiang Yun could really kill Zong Bai and completely eliminate the worries for my Kong family, then, I think, I would give him the Fire Spirit Pearl!"

Upon hearing this, a sudden flame flashed in the elder's eyes, causing the room to instantly transform into a sea of fire. The temperature soared wildly, leaving Kong Xuehai and Kong Benchu drenched in sweat.

Fortunately, the flame in the old man's eyes extinguished instantly, and the temperature in the room returned to normal.

The elder sighed and said, “This Fire Spirit Pearl is the root of our Kong family's strength. I don't know how many people covet it.”

"This time, it seems Guan Peng is looking for the Fire Spirit Orb from us. But if I'm not mistaken, the one who truly wants the Fire Spirit Orb should be Zong Bai!"

However, given his status, it would be embarrassing to ask directly, so he took Guan Zhifei as his disciple and allowed the Guan family to intercede on his behalf.

"Fire Spirit Orb, Fire Spirit Orb, it's a good thing, but with our family's current strength, keeping it is truly just a hazard!"

The old man shook his head and let out a long sigh, "Enough is enough. My time is running out, and I'm too tired to worry about these trivial matters. You decide."

After uttering this phrase, the elder's figure vanished without a trace, leaving only Kong Xuehai and Kong Benchu!

After wiping the sweat from their foreheads, Kong Benchu smiled wryly: "The temperament of the Supreme Ancestor is still the same as before."

Kǒngxuéhǎi also helplessly said, “Who can say otherwise Fortunately, the ancestor finally agreed.”

As they were speaking, the ground before them suddenly cracked open, and a person emerged from within. He looked exactly like Kong Xuehai!

There was no surprise on either of their faces at his arrival. Kong Benchu sighed and said, "You've really made up your mind"

"Yes!"

Answer him, it would be another Kong Xuhai, or to put it another way, it would be the spirit-body incarnation of Kong Xuhai.

The Fire Spirit Orb, as the most important treasure of the Kong family, has always been kept by the patriarch.

To ensure the safety of this treasure, the chieftain would also specially dispatch his own Dao spirit avatar, carrying the Fire Spirit Orb and hiding it within the Kong family's underground, which was equipped with various protective measures.

While people live, the pearls are cherished. Even after death, one should strive to ensure the safety of the pearls as much as possible!

Therefore, this treasure is of great importance to the Kong family.

Kong Xuhai's Dao Spirit incarnation opened its mouth and spat out a fist-sized, crimson orb, the Fire Spirit Pearl.

The entire bead, it seemed as if it were condensed from a flame.

And within the pearl, faintly visible, there was also a hazy shadow.

Although it's unclear what it is, all Kong family members who have cultivated with the Fire Spirit Pearl can clearly sense its shadow and possess spirituality.

Therefore, the Kong family named this pearl the Fire Spirit Pearl.

The Fire Spirit Pearl was inadvertently obtained by the Kong family's ancestors. They discovered that as long as they held this pearl, their cultivation of fire-based techniques would be twice as effective. Since then, it has been treasured as a family heirloom and passed down through generations to the present day.

It was precisely because of the existence of this Fire Spirit Orb that the Kong Family not only had most of its members specializing in fire-based martial arts, but also gradually saw their strength increase.

Looking at this fire spirit orb, both Kong Xuehai and Kong Benchu were silent.

A moment later, Kong Benchu spoke, “Let’s put that aside for now. What we need to do is properly entertain our good friends, especially the Guan family!”

A cold light flashed in Kong Xuehai's eyes as he said, "That's right. Even if Jiang Yun can't kill Zong Bai, we must make the Guan family pay for what they have done to my Kong family over the years!"

The Spirit Avatar swallowed the Fire Spirit Orb back into its body and disappeared underground once again. Kong Xuhai and his companion also vanished in a flash of light, leaving the place.

They didn't know that the moment Kong Xuehai's Dao Spirit avatar took out the Fire Spirit Orb, he was already in the realm of cracks, secretly chasing Jiang Yun who was following Zong Bai, but suddenly stopped.

Jiang Yun's brow furrowed slightly, her wrist flipped, and in her palm appeared the Spirit-Conjuring Brush she had refined.

Because, just now he suddenly felt it, a trace of change appeared within the Refining Demon Pen.

But this change didn't come from Xiao Fu and the other five monster beasts, but from—the Firebird!
