Seeking the Way of Immortality

"Brother Ning, this time the family bell rang, and it rang nine times, what do you think?"

"Nine times! This has only happened twice in the history of the Dugu family."

"Brother Ning, what do you think we should do this time?"

"It's okay, Grandaunt will give us an explanation."

The so-called Brother Ning, named Dugu Ning, is a member of the Dugu clan of the same generation as Dugu Ba, and is the part of the Dugu family that is against Dugu Qingcheng's line.

This Dugu Ning is only a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator, with average strength, but a very flexible mind, and has gathered a lot of close friends under his command. They always think that the family owes them these years and has used resources on Dugu Yan and others, and they have always been dissatisfied with the family.

On weekdays, they also pretend to obey, relying on being a member of the Dugu family, shouting and shouting outside, pretending to be powerful.

"Okay, we listen to Brother Ning."

On the other side

"The bell rang nine times, let's go to the family hall quickly."

"The bell rang too abruptly this time, I'm afraid it's related to the turmoil in the Five Elements Absolute Land."

"Well, that's right, didn't the three just leave? It's probably related to this matter."

"Don't say these useless things, the ancestors will arrange it."

After the bell rang nine times, except for those who were on missions and training outside, all the members of the Dugu family put down their work and rushed to the family hall.

As the first family in Dingzhou, the Dugu family has always been low-key. There are few rumors about the Dugu family in the outside world, and some cultivators don't even know the existence of the Dugu family.

But in the big sects, the Dugu family is definitely the most terrifying existence.

Similarly, the family hall of the Dugu family covers an area of ​​dozens of acres and is supported by four towering giant trees. There are dragons and phoenixes carved on the giant trees. The floor of the hall is all made of rare and strange stones. It can be said that every stone here is a rare treasure in the world. In the Dugu family, it is just a paving stone, not even a decoration.

This is also the reason why the Dugu family is low-key. The stones in the hall of any sect are of higher quality than those of the Dugu family.

Dugu Qingcheng stood in the air, looking down at all the members of the Dugu family.

The hall was silent. No matter whether they were in the Qi training stage or the Spiritualization stage, they all stood in the hall. No one dared to sit down.

Dugu Qingcheng was their god. With Dugu Qingcheng, they could not be bullied by outsiders. This was also the reason why Dugu Qingcheng had such a high position in their hearts. Even Dugu Ba, who had a high talent for cultivation, could not do it.

Dugu Panlong stood below Dugu Qingcheng and said, "The Dugu family has never rung the bell nine times in the past thousand years, but it rang this time."

Dugu Panlong paused and said, "Needless to say, if it weren't for the emergency, the bell wouldn't ring, and even if it did, it wouldn't ring nine times. The situation is serious, and I'm sure many members of the family have heard the news."

Many members of the family looked moved, as if they knew something, but no one made a sound, because Dugu Qingcheng was there, and she would definitely give the members of the family a satisfactory explanation.

All the members of the family looked at Dugu Qingcheng, expecting her explanation.

Dugu Qingcheng paused and looked at every member of the family, "Since the thousand years, the Dugu family has gone through countless hardships to have today's prominent status. What a pity! The Dugu family has many factions. I really don't know if the Dugu family can still exist after I leave."

Dugu Qingcheng's sudden words made the members of the Dugu family feel awe-inspiring. They only realized at this moment that their ancestor's time was running out! It was not until this moment that they understood why Dugu Qingcheng gradually faded out of the family over the years and no longer asked about family affairs. Even when the Dugu family was fighting with others, Dugu Qingcheng would not show up even if she knew.

They had stayed under Dugu Qingcheng's arms for too long! They no longer had a sense of danger. In their hearts, they always thought that even if the sky fell, Dugu Qingcheng would still be there to support them. They never thought that Dugu Qingcheng was already old.

No matter how strong she was, she was just a woman!

Dugu Qingcheng smiled slightly, and seeing that her words had achieved the desired effect, she continued: "The blood-colored thunder calamity has appeared, and the rare treasures of heaven and earth are about to be born. Perhaps many clansmen think that with the current strength of my Dugu family, we can get a share of the pie, but I want to say that no one in the Dugu family can participate in this Five Elements Jedi event, and those who violate it will be killed without mercy!"

"Grandma, I want to ask, what should the clansmen who are outside do at this moment?"

"Dugu Ning, don't you think that my words are not effective?"

"Grandma, calm down, that's not what my grandson meant Si, grandson just wants an explanation!"

"Yes! Dugu Ba, who is at the level of a god, has already left!"

"Yes, and Dugu Yan, isn't she also in the Five Elements Absolute Land! Could it be that, ancestor, you want to favor Dugu Ba and his daughter?"

"Yes, and Dugu Aojian, why did he suddenly leave the family and go out to gain experience at this critical moment?"

"Hehe, Dugu Aojian hasn't left the family for decades, and Dugu Tingtao doesn't seem to be here either!"

"Ancestor, you are being unfair!"

The clan members complained in unison.

"Shut up, don't think I don't know what you did behind my back these years. Now you dare to challenge the old ancestor. Do you still have me, the head of the family, and the old ancestor in your eyes? If it weren't for the old ancestor, would my Dugu family still exist?"

Seeing that Dugu Panlong was still going to say something, Dugu Qingcheng waved his hand, looking a little tired: "I am not dead yet. Do you think the Dugu family no longer needs me, or have you found someone to rely on?"

The Dugu family members headed by Dugu Ning felt panic for no reason, and even took a few steps back unconsciously.

And their little actions were seen clearly by Dugu Qingcheng and others.

"From today on, all members of the Dugu family and cultivators who enjoy the Dugu family's salary shall not collude with the major sects, fight within the family, go out, and leave the family. No one is allowed to discuss the Five Elements Absolute Land, and no one is allowed to participate in any form. Those who violate the rules will be executed without mercy. Dugu Wuming will handle this matter."

"The blood-colored thunder calamity appears, and the strange treasures of heaven and earth appear. The strange treasures only look for those with virtue, and the Dugu family has none!"

After speaking, Dugu Qingcheng's figure flashed and disappeared, leaving only a group of family members standing in a daze. Dugu Ning and others were even more pale.

The sighs are still there, echoing in everyone's hearts for a long time!

The Dugu family ranks first among the major families in Dingzhou, but it has existed for too long. Some drawbacks are not known to outsiders, and various factions are everywhere. Dugu Qingcheng knows these drawbacks very well, but she also knows that she doesn't have much time! She can't protect the Dugu family for a lifetime.

The turmoil of the whole world was noticed by even the uninformed cultivators. After all, the blood-colored thunder tribulation was rarer than the nine-nine thunder tribulation, not to mention that it was a blood-colored thunder tribulation that countless monsters underwent together.

Since ancient times, the blood-colored thunder tribulation has been a sign of opportunity and blood tribulation.

Not long after the nine-nine thunder tribulation, the blood-colored thunder tribulation appeared again. The hearts of the cultivators in Dingzhou were once again hanging. Some chose to stay away for fear of bad luck and avoid the disaster, while others chose to approach in order to obtain a great opportunity and become famous in one fell swoop.

Even when this news was transmitted to the major states, many cultivators in other states did not hesitate to transmit across states to come here to share a piece of the pie.

And all this, with the wind and clouds stirring, gathered in the Five Elements Jedi!
