pted all the offerings, then looked at his grandfather again and said, "Grandfather, I also need a hidden place, preferably with an array to isolate it.""No problem!"Master Ah Gong waved his hand dire...The expressions on the two people's faces naturally made Jiang Yun understand that they obviously knew the identity of the red figure!

Kōng Xuèhǎi and Kōng Běnchū looked at each other involuntarily, as if they were trying to see through the other person's expression whether their guess was the same as theirs.

Looking into each other's eyes, both saw shock and fear reflected back. They both broke into wry smiles.

Kong Benchu sighed and said, "I originally thought that our Kong family could finally live in peace from now on, but I didn't expect that we would still be unable to escape!"

At Ginger Cloud's eyes, a cold glint flashed at Kong Benchu's nonsensical words.

However, he did not press for an explanation, but waited for the two of them to give him one.

"Kong Benchu addressed Jiang Yun and said, 'Jiang Daoist friend, if you haven't seen wrong, then that red figure should be the Huo Xing Elder of the Wu Xing Dao Zong, Huo Qianye!'"

"The Wu Xing Dao Zong has, throughout history, always had five elders representing the Five Elements. Their power and status are second only to the sect leader."

Each and every one of them has at least reached the peak of the Tianren Five Tribulations realm, and perhaps some have even broken through to the Human Dao Conformal Realm.

"Fire Thousand Nights, he's the Fire Elder among them!"

Upon hearing Kong Benchu's words, Jiang Yun's face suddenly showed a look of realization and he understood the reason for the change in expressions of these two people!

He killed Elder Zong Bai of the Five Elements Dao Sect, and soon after, he encountered Elder Huo Xing of the Five Elements Dao Sect. This clearly couldn't be a coincidence!

Even though he was very careful when killing Zong Bai and left no trace, Zong Bai still somehow notified the Wu Xing Dao Sect, which is why this Fire Elder appeared.

Moreover, Huo Qianye probably already knew that he was the murderer of Zong Bai, and appeared when he faced his first tribulation as a Heaven-Human.

Even if he didn't know, given his status and abilities, even just a sliver of suspicion towards me would inevitably lead him to capture me.

At this point, Ginger Cloud had understood everything!

Before I passed out, I was going through a tribulation. At that time, I summoned nine bolts of lightning in succession.

Moreover, with the presence of the power of the Great Dao, he didn't even have a chance to make a move, and could only wait on the sidelines!

Besides Huo Qianye, there were also many cultivators around when I crossed the tribulation back then, and among them must have been Kong Family's Taishang Ancestor.

The Patriarch Kong recognized his own identity and also saw Huo Qiye. In order to save himself, even though he knew he was no match for Huo Qiye, he chose to self-destruct.

Although Gingercloud wasn't sure of the Patriarch Kong's strength, he figured that even self-destructing wouldn't be enough to kill Fire Thousand Nights.

Therefore, Huo Qianye would never let the Kong family or himself off if he was still alive!

"No!"

Ginger Cloud suddenly shook her head and said, "If Huo Qianye knew the identity of your ancestors, then with his temper, shouldn't he immediately come to trouble your Kong family"

"But now it's been a month, and he still hasn't shown up..."

It seems that the reason why Zǔ shang self-destructed was to hide his true identity and prevent Huò Qiān yè from knowing he came from the Kǒng family!

After hearing this from Jiang Yun, Kong Benchu and Kong Xuehai, who had already felt a sense of impending doom, were taken aback at first. But they immediately understood what he meant.

Indeed, Huo Qianye is of what status!

Don't say he's dead, even if he is, the Wuxing Daozong will definitely go to any lengths to avenge him.

... the strength of the Five Elements Dao Sect wanted to wipe out the Kong Family, it would be as easy as crushing an ant.

But even now, the Five Elements Dao Sect has yet to show any signs of activity. That alone is enough to prove that they should have no idea about the true identity of their Supreme Patriarch.

The self-detonation of the Patriarch Taishang not only saved Jiang Yun, but also successfully concealed his identity!

Just when the two of them were relieved, Jiang Yun suddenly stood up and said, "Two, I'm leaving!"

Jiang Yun's sudden decision to depart left Kong Benchu and the others stunned once again. "What's going on" they exclaimed.

Jiang Yun said in a deep voice, "Fire Qiangye may not know the identity of your ancestor, but he saw my appearance!"

He may not come to trouble the Kong family, but he will certainly send people to track down my identity and whereabouts!

"If I continue to stay at the Kong family, if the people from the Five Elements Dao Sect suddenly arrive, it will only bring greater trouble to your Kong family, even a catastrophe. Therefore, I must leave."

"This…" Kong Benchu and Kong Xuehai's expressions couldn't help but change again.

They naturally knew that Ginger Cloud was telling the truth.

Zong Baihao, after all, was an elder. He was killed by Jiang Yun, and the news spread far and wide, known to everyone.

If the Wulin Daozong doesn't avenge their master, then their entire sect will have lost all face.

But, Jiang Yun was being pursued by the Five Elements Dao Sect entirely because he was helping his own Kong family.

Now that Ginger Cloud is in trouble, she wants to leave proactively to avoid implicating the Kong family. How can we just stand by and let her go

Kong Benchu said sincerely, "Daoist Jiang, we understand your worries!"

But we can't let you leave just like that. This matter started because of my Kong family, so naturally, it should be ended by my Kong family!

"Even if it means sacrificing the lives of every member of the Kong family, we will do everything in our power to protect you!"

"And, you could also transform into an unscathed form first and continue to stay in my Kong family, waiting for a while to see the situation before making any decisions."

Jiang Yun shook his head and said, "I appreciate your kindness. My shape-shifting technique can indeed fool many people, but one must always be prepared for the unexpected!"

"If I show even a slight weakness or slip up, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Besides, I'm alone. It's more convenient for me to act. Even if the WuXing Dao Zong wants to kill me, it won't be so easy!

Actually, Jiang Yun didn't worry at all about the pursuit of the Five Elements Dao Sect. He just didn't want to implicate the Kong family.

Next, no matter how Kong Benchu and Kong Xuehai tried to persuade him, Jiang Yun was determined to leave.

Out of helplessness, Kong Benchu could only say: "Friend Jiang, the grace of saving the clan is immeasurable. I have no way to repay you."

"You can leave if you want, but you have to take our gift!"

As he spoke, Kong Xuehai's Dao Spirit avatar within the forbidden zone took the initiative to step out. It opened its mouth and spat out a red orb, holding it in its palm and offering it to Jiang Yun.

"Ginger, my friend, this is the only thing my Kong family can still offer. It's the Fire Spirit Orb. Please accept it!"

When Gingeryun first arrived at the Kong family, he hid in the dark and eavesdropped on Guan Peng and Kong Benchu's conversation. He heard that the Guan family wanted this Fire Spirit Pearl.

Although Jiang Yun didn't know what use the fire spirit pearl had, seeing the Kong family's protection of it, he naturally knew that this object was extremely valuable.

Therefore, Ginger Cloud waved his hand and said, "No need, still the same thing, I appreciate the kindness, but this is a treasure of your Kong family, I cannot accept it!"

Kǒng Xué hǎi explained: "Elder Ginger, the Huolingzhu is extremely beneficial for cultivating the Way of Fire. I see that you are also proficient in the Way of Fire. Keeping this orb with you will help you attain enlightenment sooner!"

Kong Xuehai hadn't said anything, but as soon as he uttered the words "Enlightenment," a wry smile couldn't help but appear on Jiang Yun's face.

Not to mention a single Fire Spirit Orb, even if there were ten or a hundred Fire Spirit Orbs stacked together, they wouldn't be able to help one achieve enlightenment!

Jiang Yun shook his head again: "My cultivation is rather eclectic, this Fire Spirit Orb is not very useful to me, so, the two of you should quickly put it away..."

Jiang Yun's words were cut short.

Because he clearly felt it, the Firebird in the Alchemy Pen was suddenly trembling violently at this moment!
