Chapter 169 Revenge Vanishes
In the heart of the aristocratic lands of the Heavenly Phoenix Continent.

The white marble steps lead directly to the majestic and ancient red gate. On either side of the gate sit two ferocious and majestic lions carved from snowflake jade. The high walls extend outwards, marking the largest family residence area in the aristocratic land.

The boy affixed the clan plaque to the gate and did not inform his family of his return after entering.

Instead, they found a quaint courtyard in the heart of the main residence.

The courtyard has maintained its elegant layout for decades, yet every step reveals a new scene. It is decorated with intricately carved spirit jade, and spirit springs are introduced to irrigate the spirit plants. The top-grade spirit bamboo emits a faint fragrance in the breeze.

These extravagant decorations all suggest that the people living here are living very well.

The boy's gaze gradually turned cold, returning to the way Lin Zhao had looked when they first met.

He strode toward the master bedroom of the courtyard, but before he got there, he bumped into the Ji family's butler.

"Young Master, you're back?!" The butler looked at the young man in surprise.

"Where is Ji Cong'an?" Ji Xiao was too lazy to play games with him and asked directly.

The butler frowned and said disapprovingly, "Young Master, the Master is still your biological father. You should call him Dad."

Ji Xiao crossed his arms: "Father? He doesn't deserve the title!"

Knowing the man's temper, the butler dared not offer any further advice, but he also did not mention Ji Cong'an's location.

"Even if you don't say anything, I can still hear his disgusting sounds of pleasure-seeking." Ji Xiao shoved aside the butler who was blocking his way, and seeing that the butler wanted to follow, he sneered: "If my sister were standing here today, would you dare to touch her?"

The image of a little girl covered in blood stabbing her own father with a dagger flashed through the butler's mind, and he immediately dared not move.

Both of these siblings are crazy.

Ji Xiao took three steps at a time and kicked open the door to the master bedroom. The smell of musk and fish immediately hit him.

He frowned in disgust, summoned his broadsword, and pointed it at the few people inside who were terrified and huddled together: "Ji Cong'an, stay. The rest of you, get out."

Three or four women quickly dressed themselves. When they went out, their features and demeanor, which were somewhat similar to those of the mistresses from years ago, made Ji Xiao feel nauseous for a long time.

After finally managing to tidy his clothes, the man on the soft couch got up and looked at his son, whom he hadn't seen for many years.

"You think you've got enough wings? Daring to draw your sword against your father?"

"My father?" Ji Xiao teleported to the front of Ji Cong'an in an instant, then struck him on the chin with the hilt of a knife.

Ji Cong'an was once a Nascent Soul cultivator, and although he is now only a Golden Core cultivator, he is not someone that ordinary cultivators can challenge.

After instinctively deciding to teach his good-for-nothing son a lesson, Ji Xiao chopped off the five fingers of his raised hand with a knife.

The excruciating pain caused Ji Cong'an, who had only known how to indulge in pleasure for the past ten years, to scream his heart out.

Ji Xiao coldly looked at this man who had become a complete waste. The handsome appearance that had once made his mother fall in love at first sight had long been eroded by wine and women. Without the support of his original Nascent Soul cultivation, his Golden Core cultivation, coupled with the long-term consumption of addictive spiritual drugs, had long since ruined this once first son of a noble family.

"You've actually reached the Golden Core stage? How is that possible?!" Ji Cong'an exclaimed in disbelief, then refused to accept this reality: "You've reached the Golden Core stage, but my Luo Luo..."

The news of the Continental Grand Competition had already spread throughout the entire Tianhuang Plane in recent days. Lin Zhao's reputation as the Phoenix Maiden of Destiny had been further solidified, and the Lin family had even completely escaped the crisis of falling out of the ranks of aristocratic families thanks to the resources given to them by the South China Sea by Lin Zhao.

Ji Xiao, as one of the key players in the Continental Grand Competition, is often mentioned. Along the way, people from the aristocratic families congratulate him when they see him. However, his so-called biological father doesn't even know that his son has reached the Golden Core stage.

How ridiculous. Perhaps all of this man's attention was given to his mistress and her bastard child from back then.

Yes, Ji Xiao and Ji Wantang never acknowledged Chen Luoluo's status as a young lady of the Ji family.

Therefore, Chen Luoluo is only referred to by the extremely contemptuous term "illegitimate daughter of the Ji family," and even Ji Xiao, the son of the Ji family, is unwilling to give her that title.
Although it wasn't anything good, Ji Xiao and his sister wouldn't give it to her if she wanted it.

"Now you know how to feel sorry for your bastard? She was killed by Lin Zhao, why don't you go and get revenge? Coward!" Ji Xiao slapped Ji Cong'an across the face.

Although neither he nor Ji Wantang liked Chen Luoluo, they never targeted her. They only killed her scheming mistress who had killed the legal wife and wanted to take her place.

However, this does not mean that Ji Xiao does not dislike her.

Therefore, after Lin Zhao killed Chen Luoluo, the entire Ji family didn't hold it against Ji Xiao because of his attitude.

Ji Cong'an, tears streaming down his face, still refused to accept reality: "You're her brother, why don't you avenge her? Kill that useless phoenix from the Lin family!"

Ji Xiao was amused by his words: "Brother? I only have one sister named Ji Wantang. That bastard is Chen Mianmian's daughter, not my mother Xiao Changyi's daughter."

However, when Lin Zhao was mentioned, Ji Xiao pressed the blade against Ji Cong'an's neck: "You were the first person to suggest changing Lin Zhao's Phoenix Luck, but I don't believe you had such good intentions towards us siblings. Who instructed you? Was it your doing that Chen Luoluo took the opportunity to steal the Phoenix Luck?!"

Ji Cong'an was startled by the cold blade. His senses returned, and he felt the killing intent emanating from Ji Xiao. Never before had he been so certain that this rebellious son wanted to kill him. He quickly said, "I'll tell you! It was a man in black! He said he had a way to make Luo Luo a Heavenly Phoenix Maiden, which is why I proposed the plan to the family! But, Xiao'er, regardless of my motives, look at Wan Tang—didn't she gain more benefits? Besides, that man didn't help me at all. It was Luo Luo who earned that three-tenths of the Phoenix Luck herself. This shows that the Phoenix Luck should have belonged to Luo Luo! It was just… the shameless Lin family's useless Phoenix Maiden who stole it!"

Upon hearing this result, Ji Xiao felt an absurd sense of urgency: "Are you aware that the Three Venerables have recently been investigating the connections between various forces and the Ancestral Dragon Continent?"

Ji Cong'an's eyes widened, not understanding why Ji Xiao would bring this up, but his survival instinct compelled him to defend himself: "I didn't do anything with Zu Long..."

He was thinking of something and couldn't speak.

That man in black, is he from the Ancestral Dragon Continent?!

Ji Xiao plunged a knife into his chest: "Wan Tang killed Chen Mianmian back then, so today I'll kill you, so Wan Tang won't have to bear the hatred of losing her mother alone."

Looking at the man at his feet, struggling to survive and still clinging to life, trying to crawl out and call for help, Ji Xiao wiped the blood from his hands.

"When you and Chen Mianmian poisoned my mother, causing her to suffer a difficult childbirth and become weak and ill, ultimately leading to her death, you should have known this day would come." He threw the blood-stained handkerchief at Ji Cong'an's face.

“Actually, if you bring Chen Mianmian in, it’s not that your mother can’t accept the two of them. But why are you so greedy? You want the full support of the Xiao family behind your mother, and you also want your so-called lover to be the legal wife.”

Ji Cong'an's breath grew weaker and weaker. As he approached death, he swallowed a mouthful of blood and recalled how spirited he was when he, as the eldest son of a prominent family, married the eldest daughter of the Xiao family, who was also from a prominent family.

As for bringing Chen Mianmian into the mansion while Xiao Changyi was still alive? He had never thought of that.

Rather than having her beloved subservient to Xiao Changyi as a concubine, it would be better to let her be a lady in charge of the household. After Xiao Changyi dies, Luoluo will inherit the phoenix fortune of the Lin family's deposed phoenix and become a phoenix maiden destined for heaven. Mianmian can then become the matriarch of the Ji family by virtue of her daughter's status.

Unfortunately, despite all his scheming, he never expected that the two children left behind by Xiao Changyi, that weak and incompetent woman, would be taken by Ji Wantang after she forcibly transferred six parts of Lin Zhao's Phoenix Luck to a powerful figure from the Ancestral Phoenix Continent.

Even at such a young age, Ji Xiao had already noticed that he and Chen Mianmian had poisoned Xiao Changyi, and he investigated the truth and handed over the evidence to the Xiao family.

In order to appease the Xiao family's anger and to make Ji Wantang, who was favored by the Ancestral Phoenix Continent, his cultivation was crippled.

Ji Wantang discovered the place where Chen Mianmian was hiding and, in front of him, slowly tortured his beloved to death with swords.

No, these two children are evil spirits. They are not children, they are evil spirits!
In a fit of rage and terror, Ji Cong'an breathed his last.

Ji Xiao gave him a disgusted look and cursed, "You're a rotten person who still has to clean up the mess for your family even after you're dead."
