274: The Rise of the Kim Family

Chuan He already understood the Jin Yanshi brothers well enough; she didn't even need to ask who did it.

"Jin Yanshi, back in the day, my sister Chuan Tang and I were known as the Twin Pearls of the Chuan Clan; we had countless suitors."

"Later, I took a liking to you two brothers, married into the Jin Clan, and helped the Jin Clan grow from an obscure little tribe into a medium-sized tribe of nearly two thousand demons."

"Wife, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have been swayed by Yan Yu."

Jin Yanshi 'admitted his mistake' once again.

Chuan He snorted coldly. "That blockhead Yan Yu who only thinks with his lower half?"

"If Chuan Tang hadn't told me that you sent Yan Yu back to the Chuan Clan, I wouldn't have known about such a big matter."

"Bang!"

Another slap, wood splinters flew everywhere, and the table was completely smashed to pieces.

Chuan He stood up and berated him:

"Jin Yanshi, you misappropriated the seven-leaf peach without authorization! How many heads do you have for Father to chop off?"

"Wife, don't be angry. Calm down first."

Jin Yanshi said fawningly, while waving for the other two Great Demon Kings and Jin Hong to leave.

Seeing this, the three of them felt relieved and scrambled out of the hall.

"Wife, listen to me."

"Just now, Hong'er said that Jin Wu is in the Demon Refining Pool..."

Jin Yanshi repeated everything Jin Hong had said, revealing his entire plan without hiding anything.

At a time like this, hiding anything would only lead to more slaps.

A few minutes later.

Chuan He frowned. "Are you sure?"

"Yes, wife, I am ninety-nine percent certain."

"Ninety-nine percent is not one hundred percent. What if an accident happens?"

"Wife, what doesn't have risks? Isn't ninety-nine percent certainty enough?"

Chuan He shook her head. "Answer me, what if?"

Jin Yanshi fell silent.

Chuan He continued. "If an accident occurs, let Yan Yu take the blame."

"No!"

Jin Yanshi refused without even thinking.

"No?"

"You misappropriated over half of the seven-leaf peach; this is a capital offense. Do you want me to be a widow? Or do you want Hong'er to call someone else father?"

Jin Yanshi clenched his fists and still refused. "Wife, no, I can't do that."

"Before Father died in battle, he had two requests: first, to strengthen the Jin Clan, and the other was to take good care of Yan Yu."

"I cannot let Yan Yu take the blame. If an accident really happens, you take Hong and return to the Chuan Clan. Just consider it me failing you."

A few minutes of silence.

Jin Yanshi felt uneasy, waiting for the judgment.

Chuan He suddenly smiled. "At least you still have some conscience."

"Wife, you..."

"If you had agreed to let Yan Yu take the blame just now, I would have killed you with one palm."

"If you can let Yan Yu take the blame today, you could let me take the blame tomorrow."

"How could that be?" Jin Yanshi immediately said to curry favor.

"Enough. I tell you, if Jin Wu really undergoes atavism and awakens the Ape God Bloodline, it will definitely alert the Demigods. We won't be able to keep him."

"Not just us, the Chuan Clan won't be able to keep him either, but our credit certainly cannot be erased."

"Let Jin Yanmao chase after Yan Yu and have Father send people over as soon as possible."

Jin Yanshi nodded. "Good, I will arrange it immediately."

"Hmm, Father is not as narrow-minded as you. If Jin Wu really undergoes atavism, you will definitely be rewarded. I will ask Father to beg for a drop of Ape God blood essence for you, to help you make a Breakthrough to Demon Venerable."

"Really?" Jin Yanshi was overjoyed, bowed, and said, "Thank you in advance, Wife."

"You shameless thing!"

"However, after you make a Breakthrough to Demon Venerable, you won't go looking for a younger one, right?" Chuan Tang changed the subject, narrowing her eyes as she asked.

"Impossible!" Jin Yanshi said righteously.

"Really?"

"I can barely handle you, how would I have the energy to find a younger one?" Jin Yanshi said weakly.

"Not bad, at least you know your own limitations."

Then, Chuan He added. "Forget it, after you make a Breakthrough to Demon Venerable, you will be a person of status. I will let you find one, but I must vet her, and I must be satisfied."

Jin Yanshi's eyes lit up. A wonderful life had come suddenly—a Breakthrough to Demon Venerable and finding a concubine. What a blessing!

"Thank you wif..."

"Slap!"

"Ah~~"

"Bang~~"

A tall figure crashed through the wall and flew out of the hall.

"Clan Chief, you called me?"

"Eh, Clan Chief, the injury on your face looks just like mine." Jin Yanmao said curiously.

Hearing this, Jin Yanshi turned slightly, averted his face, and berated him. "What are you talking nonsense for?"

"I called you here for something."

"Clan Chief, please speak!"

"Go chase after Great Demon King Yan Yu now. Go to the Chuan Clan as soon as possible to report the situation and have the Chuan Clan send people over."

"Understood, I'll go now." Jin Yanmao didn't ask further and turned to leave.

Whoosh! In the Jin Clan territory, a figure soared into the air and flew rapidly toward the Chuan Clan.

In the shadows, Xie Zhiyuan opened his eyes and followed.

Back mountain. Chuan He personally supervised, placing the few remaining seven-leaf peaches into the pool. Watching the essence of the seven-leaf peaches flow into the mountain, Chuan He left, relieved.

Demon Refining Pool. Xiao Weiqing was by the pool, getting used to his surging physical strength.

Suddenly. The energy concentration in the pool rose again. Xiao Weiqing immediately entered the pool. He believed that after absorbing all the energy this time, his body would successfully complete Mortal Transformation, and he could enter the Sixth Realm.

Just as Xiao Weiqing continued to absorb Universe energy, one hundred kilometers away from the Jin Clan territory, a figure blocked Jin Yanmao's path.

"Human Race?" Jin Yanmao's eyes brightened, and his heart stirred. "Could there be an entrance to another world here?"

Whoosh! Jin Yanmao flashed, his broad palm grabbing toward the newcomer.

Suddenly. A burst of Mental Energy expanded. Hum~~

Jin Yanmao's body was frozen in mid-air, unable to move. He couldn't help but be terrified; he felt as if he were being held in someone's hand.

In Jin Yanmao's terrified gaze, Xie Zhiyuan slowly turned around, wearing animal skin clothes, a playful look flashing across his slightly weathered face.

"Who exactly are you..." Before Jin Yanmao could finish his sentence, his consciousness dissipated, and he went silent.

Bang! The strong body crashed to the ground.

After disposing of Jin Yanmao's corpse, Xie Zhiyuan returned to the Jin Clan to guard Xiao Weiqing.

Time passed bit by bit. Inside the Demon Refining Pool. Xiao Weiqing absorbed most of the energy again, and his body was completely saturated.

At a certain moment. Xiao Weiqing felt differently about the surrounding world; the surrounding Universe energy particles became active and clearly visible.

"Panel!" Realm: Sixth Realm. Extraordinary Talent: Samadhi True Fire (Level 9). Mental Energy: 60.6. Physique: Spirit Transformation. Innate Skill: ...

"I've entered the Sixth Realm. It feels a bit unreal, but the increase in strength is not fake."

Xiao Weiqing waved his hand, and Samadhi True Fire gushed out. The entire Demon Refining Pool exploded, turning into smoke. Biting the hand that feeds you, indeed.

Rumble~~ The sound reached the outside. Demon Refining Pool entrance. "What is that sound?" Jin Kui said.

"Father, did Jin Wu succeed?" Facing Jin Hong's question, Jin Yanshi's eyes were filled with joy as he nodded. "That's right, he must have succeeded. I feel a powerful aura, stronger than a Great Demon... no, stronger than a Demon King."

"What?" Jin Hong was shocked. Doesn't this mean Jin Wu has directly entered the Sixth Realm?
