The complexion of Kong Zikang in the Kong family was extremely ugly, his eyes radiating malice.
He never expected Murong Beiye to reach the Dao Realm in seven steps, achieving the low-grade Dao Realm!
How many Dao Realm experts were there in Jinling?
At most five, and three of them were within the Murong royal family. Now with Murong Beiye's breakthrough, it meant the Murong royal family had four Dao Realm existences!
Dao Realm!
And four of them!
This is simply…
The Murong royal family was about to reach its peak!
Looking at the figure in the sky, a trace of jealousy appeared in Kong Zikang's eyes.
Back then, Murong Beiye was Jinling's number one genius. At twenty-three, he had reached the low-grade Zhubian Longxiang. The old man from Wanfo Temple once said that as long as Murong Beiye didn't die prematurely, he would definitely achieve the Dao Realm!
Back then, they thought that after Murong Beiye crippled his own cultivation, his martial path was over for good. But who would have thought that not only did his martial path not end, but after decades, he would reach the Dao Realm in seven steps and descend upon the Kong family!
Now that he had reached the Dao Realm, the only ones in the entire Kong family who could contend with him were an old ancestor and a guest elder!
"Boom!"
Murong Ye waved his hand, and the two cold women holding Murong Hanqi were sent flying, their lives unknown.
"Kong Zikang, you threatened me with my daughter, who gave you the guts?"
Murong Ye landed on the ground, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
However, it was at this moment that an old man with white hair appeared beside Kong Zikang. Kong Zikang instantly seemed to gain a soul, sitting on a grand chair with a resolute posture, a sinister smile on his face. "Murong Beiye, since we've already fallen out, I might as well be direct. My Kong family was fully involved in what happened back then. Your first love and your mother were also part of my plan.
Originally, the plan was to bring down the Murong royal family. After my Kong family annexed everything belonging to the Murong royal family, we would become the Kong clan royal family. But things took a turn, and you crippled your own cultivation, which prevented our subsequent plans from being executed. Even with later remedies, we couldn't achieve our desired outcome.
Later, the Murong family, along with the Yan clan royal family, retaliated fiercely against my Kong family. My father had no choice but to negotiate with you. Otherwise, do you really think you could suppress my Kong family?"
Back then, Murong Beiye was still Jinling's number one genius, cultivating at the Jinling Lihuo Sword Sect. The Lihuo Sword Sect was very powerful then, with a Dao Realm expert presiding over it. It was a top force in the entire Jiangnan region, and that Dao Realm expert of the Lihuo Sword Sect was known as the Sword Saint.
This Sword Saint was also Murong Beiye's master.
Kong Zikang, Murong Beiye, Song Boran.
These were the genius figures of the three families back then. The relationship between the three families was very good, and naturally, they became sworn brothers under the watchful eyes of their elders.
Suddenly, one year, Murong Beiye brought back a girl. Many things happened that year. Kong Zikang fell out with the other two because this girl was someone he had liked for a long time. After this, Murong Beiye and Kong Zikang became adversaries.
Kong Zikang also hated him because of this incident. Under his manipulation, a conspiracy against the Murong family began to unfold.
However, no one expected that in an accident, Murong Beiye was supposed to die, but this girl took a sword for Murong Beiye and perished.
This incident completely intensified the conflict between the two sides, and this conflict eventually evolved into a struggle between two families.
Yan Fengqing, the Queen of the Murong royal family, also died in this conflict.
This infuriated Murong Renjing, who, in alliance with the Song family and the Yan clan royal family, completely crippled the Kong family. They were ordered to remain in seclusion for fifty years. After paying a considerable price, the Kong family managed to survive.
But this matter continued.
If it weren't for Kong Zikang, none of these things would have happened. The girl he liked wouldn't have died, and his mother wouldn't have died!
It was all due to Kong Zikang's jealousy.
His mother, Yan Fengqing.
After being captured by an old ancestor of the Kong family, Murong Beiye was ordered to cripple his cultivation, or Yan Fengqing would be killed.
Murong Beiye agreed and crippled his cultivation on Denglong Stage, his blood staining the Denglong Stage. But in return, that old ancestor of the Kong family snapped Yan Fengqing's neck, and she died on the spot.
Although that old ancestor also died on the Murong royal family's territory in the end, Yan Fengqing's life could never be exchanged for anything!
"The revenge for Chu Yi's death, the revenge for my mother, and the revenge for you hurting my daughter today, I will settle them all!"
In the Murong royal family.
Murong Renjing and a group of high-ranking officials from the Murong family watched in the direction of the Kong family, all frowning.
"That expert reached the Dao Realm today? Haven't you found out yet?"
Murong Renjing asked slowly. A Dao Realm expert was definitely a coveted prize for all parties, especially for royal families like theirs. Having a Dao Realm expert as a family guest elder was a form of deterrence and also a way to conceal the family's strength.
"No, on Kong family territory, we are unsure if it is a Kong family member."
The butler shook his head slightly.
Murong Hongjun's expression changed when he felt that aura. "Big Brother's aura."
Murong Renjing was startled and immediately narrowed his eyes. "You mean Beiye is back, and he's fighting in the Kong family now? Are you sure?"
Murong Hongjun nodded. "I'm sure. This is definitely Big Brother's aura! Although I don't know why he suddenly reached the Dao Realm, I'm absolutely certain!
After Big Brother crippled his cultivation back then, the remaining half of his martial energy was entirely poured into me. I am very familiar with Big Brother's aura!"
Murong Renjing gave the order without hesitation. "All experts in the Murong family at the Zhubian Longxiang level and above, follow me to the Kong family!"
"Yes!"
At this moment, within the Kong family.
"Boom!"
Murong Ye attacked in rage. The combined forces of the Tian clan were still unable to harm Murong Ye in the slightest.
This was simply too unbelievable. A person who had been crippled for twenty years had suddenly reached the Dao Realm before their very eyes today!
The old man, whose real name was Kong Lie, stood with his hands behind his back and spoke with ill intent. "Murong Beiye, even if you are the son of the old Murong King, you are acting so presumptuously in my Kong family today. Do you really think this is your Murong family's territory?
I advise you to stop, otherwise, I won't mind taking action. By then, neither you nor Murong Yuhan will be able to leave my Tian family. Don't blame me for ruthlessly killing you!"
Boom!
But it was at this moment that the roar of engines could be heard, and beams of light illuminated the entire Kong family, as if it were daytime!
"Today, whoever dares to touch him, I will exterminate your nine generations of the Kong family, leaving not a single one alive!"
"If you don't believe me, feel free to try!"
