Eternal Beast Taming Family

The raging flames burned silently, but were confined to within one wall.

The Chu family mansion was located in a relatively secluded area with few other residents. Instead, it was a garden with exquisite decorations and unique trees.

The bright red flames seemed to have a life of their own, leaping within the walls, while the suppressed cries of the Chu family's servants and relatives echoed from afar.

Because it was nighttime, and the flames were burning downwards from mid-air along a perimeter of the wall, and because the flames were quite unusual and could not be easily extinguished by water.

Therefore, no one was able to leave the mansion. Even flying spirit-level contract masters tried to force their way out, but as soon as the flames touched them, they would burn endlessly on their bodies.

The crowd, huddled in a corner of the Chu family mansion, watched helplessly as a Spirit Rank Contract Master was reduced to ashes right before their eyes.

Guided by the feathers on the bluebird, Chu Jingxuan and his companions quickly returned to the sky above the Chu family residence.

Looking at the exquisite pavilions in the Chu family mansion, which had been mostly destroyed by the fire, Chu Jingxuan's eyes flashed with immense heartache.

He used his mind to communicate with the bluebird beside him, asking it to blow out the raging fire in order to save the remaining Chu family members who were struggling in the flames.

As if possessing a trace of intelligence, the bluebird, upon hearing Chu Jingxuan's request, slightly spread its wings, and the icy Geng wind flowed from its wings and then transformed into a raging breath that swept towards the sea of ​​fire.

When the cold wind came into contact with the flames, the brightness and size of the flames instantly diminished.

Just as Chu Jingxuan's expression calmed down, the flames seemed to cling to the Geng wind, rising up suddenly with the help of the fire, appearing even more intense than before the Geng wind blew.

Chu Jingxuan's expression instantly froze as he watched the houses rapidly crumble and dissipate amidst the flames, and the Chu family descendants lying on the ground groaning before turning to ashes.

His eyes were red-rimmed, and he shouted hoarsely, "What's going on? Why can't I put out this fire? Wind-Piercing Azure Bird, hurry, put out the fire!"

Nan Li's figure appeared silently beside him. "Do you think my fire is ordinary fire? This fire can burn everything. As long as you can't extinguish it all at once, it will use its power to burn even more fiercely."

Looking at the Chu family members struggling in the sea of ​​fire, Nan Li's expression was one of innate coldness. She had seen far more tragic scenes in Tianyuan Sea, and this was only the death of a few people.

Chu Jingxuan turned around, his resentful gaze fixed on Nan Li.

"Who are you? Why are you helping him? You clearly don't have the blood of the Chu family."

Nan Li smiled slightly, "I am the fiancée of Young Master Chu!"

Nan Li's words seemed to remind Chu Jingxuan of something. He said with a ferocious expression, "My Chu family is backed by the Fang family, a seventh-rank family in Huanyun City. Although you are a Domain Rank cultivator, you are only at the initial stage. If you were a rogue cultivator, they would be people you cannot afford to offend."

If I stop now, I can pretend none of this ever happened.

Chu Jingxuan said these words because, from the direction of the ancestral hall, he could still see his closest relatives barely holding on, protected by a thin membrane.

However, upon hearing Chu Jingxuan's words, Nan Li seemed to have heard a joke. She chuckled a few times before replying:

"If the Fang family wants to help you get revenge, you can send them to me. Or I could go to the Fang family myself and see if they'll help you get revenge, or if they'll treat me to a feast."

Seeing the girl's fearless demeanor, Chu Jingxuan felt as if he had fallen into an abyss. He knew that behind this girl was probably a large, long-established family.

"Hehehe..."

Chu Jingxuan laughed, appearing almost insane.

"Heaven has severed the bloodline of my Chu family, but I never imagined that my Chu family would continue for ten thousand years..."

From a seventh-rank aristocratic family that oversaw the construction of Chuyan City, they have fallen to such a lowly eighth-rank family.

"But for me... it seems I'm destined to perish."

Seeing their grandfather's appearance, the young men following Chu Jingxuan showed expressions of panic and sorrow, one of them even shouting:

"Grandfather, we still have the Wind-Black Azure Bird. Let's escape. We still have a chance."

At this moment, Chu Jingyu and Chu Qinhui arrived late, and happened to overhear the young man's words.

Chu Jingyu looked at Chu Jingyu from afar and said loudly, "With so many people, I'm afraid we can't take them away with just the remnant will of this domain-level source beast, right?"

Could it be that the eldest brother still intends to leave alone, using this lingering resentment as a pretext, just like he did more than a decade ago, abandoning these descendants as mere pawns?

Chu Jingyu's words were truly hurtful, directly causing the expressions of the young people to change.

Chu Jingxuan didn't turn around, but he knew what his descendants were thinking. He glanced back at the location of the ancestral hall, then at Chu Qinhui and Chu Shengyuan.

Judging from their somewhat familiar faces, they were Chu Jingyu's descendants.

With a sigh, he said, "I am not as good as you in raising children and grandchildren, but I am old and my heart has softened. Perhaps this is the inevitable karmic retribution of life."

As he spoke, his spiritual energy gently dissipated and was then channeled into the lingering spirit of the "Wind Mystic Azure Bird".

The radiance on the "Wind-Soaring Azure Bird" gradually brightened, and its aura grew stronger little by little.

Chu Jingxuan slowly landed on the ground, and the aura of a contract master on his body completely dissipated, turning him into an ordinary person without spiritual power or cultivation level.

His figure instantly hunched over, his white hair turned even more withered and yellow, losing the luster nourished by the spiritual power of the Contract Master.

He coughed lightly twice. "Go, and never come back. Don't even think about avenging the Chu family... Let this feud end with this generation."

It was unclear whether he was speaking to his descendants or to Chu Jingyu.

The "Wind Mystic Azure Bird" glanced at Chu Jingxuan, then the radiant light of its feathers connected to several young people. With a slight flap of its wings, it traversed an immense spatial distance and arrived at the edge of the city wall.

Before the young men could even show their joy, an old woman whose age was impossible to discern appeared silently before them. She simply waved her hand gently, as if to ward off something.

The "Wind-Soaring Azure Bird" seemed to have suffered some kind of heavy blow, turning into a burst of brilliant light and instantly dissipating.

The young people, along with the radiant light, transformed into feathers and vanished completely into the world.

The descendants who carried Chu Jingxuan's last hope ultimately could not escape Chuyan City.

Standing on the street, Chu Jingxuan saw everything. He gagged, and the spiritual light in his eyes completely disappeared. He suddenly regretted why he had saved the last bit of spiritual power in his eyes.

To allow himself to see from such a distance how easily they were wiped out.

Chu Jingxuan looked at Chu Jingyu with a sorrowful expression, "Hahahaha, brothers fighting amongst themselves. What happened to my Chu family will surely happen to your Chu family as well."

These words contained the desperate curse of a decaying old man. Looking at Chu Jingxuan's resentful expression, Chu Jingyu seemed to think of himself many years ago.

Seeing his child cursed, he had harbored the same resentment countless nights. But seeing the old man in this state, all that resentment finally dissipated, and he felt a slight sense of satisfaction.

Chu Jingyu walked slowly to Chu Jingxuan's side, leaned down slightly, and whispered in his ear:

"Your own flaws will not be passed on to your descendants. I will show you a new Chu family standing in a place you cannot even look up to."
