y asked, "Senior Brother Jiang, we've already memorized the formation. Has something happened"Jiang Yun nodded. "That's right, I just learned from Huo Duming that after we enter the Mirage Tower, the...For Guan Peng's first proposal, Kong Benchu and Kong Xuehai, who weren't looking too happy to begin with, now looked even worse.

However, when they heard the three words "Fire Spirit Pearl," their faces turned even uglier.

Kǒng Xuèhǎi took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing the anger in his heart. He said coldly, "Guān Péng, if I'm not mistaken, I think your true purpose is to get my Kǒng family's Fire Spirit Pearl, right"

Kong Benchu didn't speak, and his gaze wasn't on Guan Peng, but on Zong Bai, who had his eyes slightly closed!

"Guan Peng let out a hearty laugh and said: 'No matter what my intentions are, if your Kong family wants to continue existing, if you want to protect all your family members, there are only these two options now presented before your Kong family.'"

"Father, you are wrong!" Suddenly, Guan Zhifei from the side smiled and said: "Actually, the Kong family has a third way, which is to marry Miss Meng to me. From then on, our Guan and Kong families will become in-laws!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Guan Peng burst into laughter and said, "I'm getting old, and my mind is not as sharp as it used to be. I actually forgot about this third path!"

"Master Kong, think carefully, which path will you choose"

Kong Xuehai's eyebrows shot up, and he was about to explode with anger.

He wouldn't choose any of these three paths!

However, just as he was about to open his mouth to refuse, the aura emanating from Zong Bai suddenly surged at this moment.

"Boom boom boom!"

All the furniture in the hall, tables and chairs alike, shattered under this oppressive aura, exploding into fragments.

Even in the dark, Jiang Yun could clearly see that the spirit stones on the surrounding walls were trembling violently.

Obviously, the formation they had arranged was also unable to withstand this aura, and it seemed like it was about to explode.

In order to prevent his improper eavesdropping behavior from being exposed, Jiang Yun had to take out a few spirit stones and play them with his fingers, injecting them into the original formation on the wall. He strengthened the formation, and only then did he manage to protect this secret chamber.

Kong Meng was completely unaware of Ginger Cloud's actions.

Because at this moment, her hands were clenched into fists, and anger glinted in her eyes as she stared fixedly at Zong Bai and the Guan family members in the hall!

Clearly, Zong Bai was warning the Kong family. Apart from the three paths offered by the Guan family, there was no fourth way out for the Kong family unless they chose to disappear forever!

Looking at the hall, which was now in utter disarray, Kong Xuehai's excitement had indeed subsided.

This is the terrifying power of a celestial being at the fifth tribulation realm. Even if Zong Bai was willing, he could have just shattered his own body into pieces like those pieces of furniture earlier!

As the head of the family, Kong Xuehai could disregard his own life, but he couldn't ignore the safety of everyone in the Kong family.

Therefore, he had to begin considering the three paths that Guan Jia had proposed to his family.

However, the three paths, no matter which one is chosen, are actually dead ends for the Kong family.

Although Guan Zhifei is arrogant and lewd, he is not a wastrel.

On the contrary, he is extremely talented and diligently cultivates.

It is said that he could have entered the Daoist realm long ago, but the Guan family hoped to find a suitable world for him to become the master of, so they kept him suppressing his cultivation and prevented him from breaking through.

Furthermore, he has now become a disciple of Zong Bai. His future prospects are limitless.

Among the younger generation of both families, no one could compare to him.

Except...one person!

Kong Xuehai's mind couldn't help but think of his own son.

Even though Guan Ji possesses remarkable talent for flying, he still falls short compared to his son, Kong Wu Shang.

If his own son hadn't disappeared, then relying on the Kong family's resources, Kong Wushang's strength would now be definitely no weaker than Guan Zhifei!

It's a shame...

Shaking his head, Kong Xuhai didn't continue to dwell on these pointless matters. Instead, he pulled his thoughts back to reality.

The first path definitely won't work, and the second one is even worse!

The Fire Spirit Pearl, that was the Kong family's most prized possession, and it was precisely because of this pearl's existence that the Kong family could have its current scale.

Without the Fire Spirit Pearl, the Kong family will fall into decline.

To surrender this pearl is to surrender the future of the Kong family.

Now it seems that the third path is the most suitable.

His own son had been missing for decades, his life and death unknown. Now, in order to protect the family's safety, he had to sacrifice his daughter's happiness. How could he bear it

Moreover, even if Kong Meng were truly married to Guan Zhifei, let alone what kind of treatment she would receive in the Guan family, since the Guan family was fundamentally after the Fire Spirit Pearl and aimed to annex the Kong family, this path would only allow them to temporarily abandon their pursuit of the Kong family.

In a short while, the Guan family will inevitably find other reasons to attack the Kong family.

Unable to bear it any longer, Kong Xuehai turned his gaze towards Kong Benchu, seeking the patriarch's advice with his eyes. Yet, Kong Benchu remained just as silent.

Whatever Kong Xueshai could think of, he naturally also thought of it, so he didn't know what to choose.

Even with the reinforcement of Jiang Yun, a renowned expert, invited by his family, Guan's family still managed to secure Zong Bai.

In any way you look at it, Gingercloud and Zongbai are simply incomparable.

Needless to say, Zong Bai being an elder of the Wuxing Daozong, he truly has the support of the entire Wuxing Daozong behind him.

Therefore, Ginger Cloud's arrival will not help the Kong family's current situation at all.

Inside the hall, there was an eerie silence. Neither Guan's father nor son urged them, but instead watched Kong Xuedai and Kong Benchu with smiles, waiting for their decision.

They don't care which path the Kong family chooses, because either way it's a dead end!

What they want is for the Kong family to disappear forever.

After a while, Kong Benchu finally transmitted a voice to Kong Xuechao: "Perhaps we should ask Meng'er to make some sacrifices!"

Kong Xuehai remained silent and did not respond.

And then Kong Benchu continued, "Sacrificing Meng'er can buy some time for our Kong family."

"During this time, we can secretly send some promising children away, far away."

"Let them hide their names or join other sects, at least it will guarantee that the Kong family incense won't be extinguished!"

By then, we old folks can rest assured and go to the Guan family, bring Meng'er back, and seek justice for her, for our Kong family!

As soon as Kong Benchu finished speaking, Kong Xuehai suddenly raised his head and stared fixedly at his ancestor.

He naturally understood the meaning of the ancestor. The ancestor was going to fight the Guan family to the death!

However, before that, the Kong family needed to ensure the continuation of their ancestral line, so they needed to ease the vigilance of the Guan family, giving the Kong family enough time to do these things.

Although this method is too cruel, because it sacrifices not only Meng'er alone, but also a large number of Kong family members.

But this is indeed the only way to keep the Kong family bloodline going.

After all, as long as the Guan family exists, the Kong family will never find peace!

Although they may not be able to achieve the same outcome as Guan's family, at least they can make Guan's family pay a price and weaken their strength. This way, Guan's family will have no time to search for Kong's descendants.

Thinking of this, Kong Xuehai's eyes showed a resolute look. He finally nodded lightly and prepared to open his mouth to give his answer.

However, at that moment, a dazzling light suddenly flashed in the hall!

A figure stands in the light!
