I conquer the immortal with my strength.

Chapter 721 The Ancestor's Intention
"Disciple Zhu Qiluo greets the Sect Leader!" Zhu Qiluo woke up with a start and quickly bowed three times respectfully.

After getting up, he respectfully bowed to Cang Yu and addressed him as "Uncle-Master".

Seeing that Zhu Qiluo now had a powerful sect background, and that Danxia Mountain also had a strong backer thanks to this relationship, Zhu Chixuan couldn't help but smile with delight.

"Very good, very good! Today is a joyous occasion, I will immediately order a banquet to be prepared to celebrate!"

"It's best not to make a fuss for now, lest word get out and make Gong Shasong and his wife wary. Also, I see that you've gained some insight, so you should strike while the iron is hot and meditate. Furthermore, although the Blood River True Water in Qiluo's body has been removed, her vital energy hasn't recovered, so she needs to take some pills to recover as soon as possible," Xia Daoming said.

"Teacher, you've thought this through very well," Zhu Chixuan said, bowing.

No sooner had Zhu Chixuan finished speaking than an elder knocked on the door outside the hall, requesting an audience.

The temple doors opened, and an elder with a bulbous nose walked in.

The elder was greatly surprised to find an unfamiliar Golden Immortal in the cave.

"What is it?" Zhu Chixuan asked.

"Reporting to the Ancestor, a messenger has just arrived from Blood Lake Ridge, saying that they have a six-month deadline. If Zhu Qiluo is not sent to Blood Lake Ridge within six months, they will launch an attack on Danxia Mountain!" The elder suppressed his shock and bowed as he replied.

As he spoke, he glanced at Zhu Qiluo unconsciously, and seeing that she was indeed as Zhu Liao had said, her serious injuries and poisoning had completely disappeared, he couldn't help but be surprised.

"This is outrageous! Go and write back to them, saying that we will absolutely not send Zhu Qiluo to Blood Lake Ridge. If they have the guts, let them come and attack Danxia Mountain!" Zhu Chixuan said coldly.

"Now that Zhu Qiluo has recovered from her severe injuries and poisoning, her foundation is intact. She is a promising Golden Immortal from Danxia Mountain, so it is impossible for us to send her to Blood Lake Ridge. However, Blood Lake Ridge is ultimately powerful. Is it inappropriate for us to respond so forcefully? In my opinion, it would be better to offer some generous gifts, and have the Ancestor personally write a letter. Perhaps there is still room for negotiation then," the elder said cautiously.

"Qiluo has done nothing wrong. It's all that Gong Ning's own fault. Why should our Zhu family apologize? Just go and tell the messenger. If they have the guts, let them attack. If they don't, then don't spout nonsense!"

Zhu Chixuan resolutely rejected the order, and a powerful aura burst forth from him, forcing the elder to kneel down involuntarily to accept the command.

Not long after Elder Bulbous Nose left, Zhu Chixuan also left Tianluo Peak and returned to the ancestral cave on the back mountain of the main peak.

Upon returning to his cave dwelling, Zhu Chixuan immediately ordered the elders of his clan to be summoned.

Soon, the clan elders arrived, their faces filled with worry, as summoned.

"Zhu Qiluo has survived a great calamity and her injuries have been completely healed. From this day forward, she will be the first Golden Immortal seed disciple of the Zhu family of Danxia Mountain, second only to me in the clan! If anything happens to me, she will be the Supreme Elder of the Zhu family, and the Zhu family will respect her."

As soon as the elders gathered together, Zhu Chixuan announced an appointment!
The announcement of this appointment caused an uproar among the officials.

"Ancestor, please reconsider! Although Zhu Qiluo's injuries have healed, her cultivation is inevitably damaged and her practice has been delayed. I'm afraid she won't be able to take on the position of the first Golden Immortal seed disciple. Moreover, this is a critical time. Such an appointment is tantamount to publicly challenging Blood Lake Ridge and declaring war."

"Blood Lake Ridge is formidable; if war breaks out, our Zhu family will be in grave danger!"

"..."

After a brief uproar, the elders stepped forward to offer their advice.

"No destruction, no construction! My Zhu family has been complacent for too long. The Zhu family members have lost their edge when facing outsiders, but they are good at fighting among themselves. It is time to use Blood Lake Ridge to hone the Zhu family's edge and unite the people!" Zhu Chixuan said in a deep voice.

Seeing that the patriarch had made up his mind, everyone was worried.

Only the elder with the bulbous nose seemed to be deep in thought. After hesitating for a moment, he cautiously said, "Ancestor, could it be that the Golden Immortal senior is willing to lend a hand? If so, even if we cannot defeat Blood Lake Ridge, we will surely make them back down." "What Golden Immortal senior?" Upon hearing this, all the elders showed surprise and astonishment.

“That’s Qi Luo’s martial uncle,” Zhu Chixuan said calmly.

"Qiluo actually has a master and a Golden Immortal uncle!" Upon hearing this, all the elders were shocked.

"That's right. A few years ago, Qi Luo had the opportunity to join the Qingyuan Sect! This time, she was poisoned and injured, her foundation was almost destroyed, and she was threatened by Gong Shasong and his wife. Her sect was furious when they heard about this and specially sent people to help her. Fortunately, thanks to the people from her sect, Zhu Qi Luo was able to recover from her injuries and her cultivation was even better than before."

However, Blood Lake Ridge has gone too far, so matters concerning the Qi Luo Sect must not be spread outside this hall. I, the patriarch, must deliver a heavy blow to the arrogant and conceited Gong Sha Song and his wife! " Zhu Chixuan said.

This was the explanation that Xia Daoming and Zhu Chixuan had discussed beforehand.

The elders were overjoyed and excited upon hearing this.

"Good, good! Those Gong Shasong and his wife are going too far. If it weren't for the fact that our ancestor is about to undergo tribulation, would we have allowed ourselves to be humiliated like this?"

"Qiluo combines the strengths of both families and is destined to become a Golden Immortal in the future. No wonder the Ancestor wants to make her the first Golden Immortal seed disciple!"

"Haha, once Qiluo can attain the Golden Immortal Dao, our Zhu family will have two Golden Immortals. In the future, even if we look at the entire Chijiang Prefecture, we will be considered to be among the top."

"However, the Blood River True Water of Gong Shasong and his wife is too vicious. If the Ancestor is not careful and gets contaminated and injured by the Blood River True Water, it may affect his tribulation!"

While everyone was pleasantly surprised and excited, they couldn't help but feel a little worried.

The tribulation of a Golden Immortal is no small matter. Seven thousand years ago, the Zhu family had two Golden Immortals, but the other Golden Immortal failed to transcend the tribulation, leaving only Zhu Chixuan as the Golden Immortal in the Zhu family today.

If Zhu Chixuan fails to transcend the tribulation, the Zhu family will have no Golden Immortal to protect them.

The Zhu family would likely find it difficult to preserve their vast Golden Immortal Empire.

"It's alright. I recently had a great opportunity and gained some insights. My cultivation will improve soon, and I'm confident that I can safely pass through this tribulation!" Zhu Chixuan said with a confident expression.

Upon hearing this, the elders' worries vanished, and they were all filled with excitement.

"Remove Zhu Liao's status as a member of the Zhu clan and demote him to an ordinary member!" Just as everyone was getting excited, Zhu Chixuan suddenly said with a grim expression.

“Zhu Liao is exceptionally talented and has now reached the Twelfth Stage of the Dao. He is a disciple who has the potential to become a Golden Immortal. How can he be demoted to an ordinary disciple?” An elder’s expression changed drastically.

Zhu Liao was his direct descendant.

“Go and ask him yourself how he bullied and humiliated Zhu Qiluo. With such character, even if he were to reach the Golden Immortal realm, he wouldn’t know how to protect his family! Let him suffer a bit first. If he can truly repent, then we can discuss restoring his status as a clan member,” Zhu Chixuan said in a deep voice.

"Yes, yes!" Upon hearing this, the elder turned pale, filled with fear and trepidation, and nodded repeatedly.

Now, Zhu Qiluo not only has her own ancestor backing her up, but also the support of her Golden Immortal Uncle. Furthermore, she has recovered from her injuries and her cultivation is even greater than before. Not to mention that Zhu Liao can not bully or humiliate her at will, even he, as an elder, has to be polite to her now and dare not be negligent or offend her in the slightest.

　Sorry, something came up today and I was late. That concludes today's update.
