Chapter 239 Nan Feng’s life is over
Yunxi pretended to be surprised and said:

"What happened? When I saw the Ancestor three days ago, he was in good condition. How could he have died? Was he framed?"

Wei Zongjin was also completely bewildered. He only knew that his father had sent him to inform Yunxi to return to the family as soon as possible, and that was all he knew. He could only reply:
"I don't know, but the patriarch insists that you return to the family."

Yun Xi nodded seriously and said:

"Okay, I'll go back now."

After saying that, he and Wei Zongjin descended Lingxue Peak and headed straight for the Wei family's new ancestral home in Haoran City.

As soon as Yunxi and Zongjin appeared at the door, a Wei family disciple immediately went to inform the family head. By the time the two entered the council hall, almost everyone in the Wei family who had influence had arrived.

Yunxi sat down to the left of the family head, Wei Lingtao, without hesitation, and immediately asked:
"Master, what's going on?"

Wei Lingtao shook his head with a heavy expression and said:
"I don't know either. Before the formation of the core, the family affairs were handled by the elders. Only when they couldn't make a decision would they consult the ancestor. The ancestor's condition has always been very good, without any abnormalities."

After I completed my Core Formation, I did not immediately take over family affairs. I planned to spend a month consolidating my cultivation. This morning, the Sixth Elder went to consult the Ancestor, only to discover that the Ancestor had already passed away.

After speaking, he turned his gaze to the Sixth Elder present.

Yunxi still remembered the Sixth Elder. He was the elder in charge of the family's cultivation hall, mainly responsible for training the younger generation. She had been cultivating under this elder since the family's Qi Induction cultivation began, so she politely asked:
"Sixth Elder, how did you discover the anomaly?"

Although ten years had passed, the Sixth Elder hadn't changed much; he remained energetic and capable. Upon hearing Yunxi's question, he stepped forward and replied:
"This morning, I went to consult the Ancestor about adding a low-grade spiritual vein to the cultivation hall. Just as I was about to activate the array, I discovered that the array in the Ancestor's meditation place was open. I thought the Ancestor had finished his cultivation, so I informed him and went into the inner hall, where I found the Ancestor meditating."

Just as I was about to leave, I sensed something was wrong. With the ancestor's cultivation level, he should have noticed when I entered the courtyard. How come he didn't react at all?
I tentatively called out to the ancestor twice, but he didn't respond. I sensed that the ancestor had stopped breathing, so I went forward to check and found that he had already passed away.

The head of the Wei family chimed in:
"The Sixth Elder immediately notified me and the other elders. We went to Ancestor Nanfeng's courtyard and confirmed that the Ancestor had indeed passed away. Then we sent Zong Jin to inform you."

Wei Lingyue added:

“Yunxi, before you came, we also carefully checked the ancestor’s secluded cultivation place. There were no signs of forced entry, the ancestor had no injuries, and his golden core was intact. The ancestor left peacefully and did not leave any directional marks.”

Yunxi lowered her eyes and thought for a moment before speaking:

"According to the patriarch and the elders, the ancestor was not killed accidentally, but should have died of natural causes."

Wei Lingtao sighed and said:

"Everyone here is family, so you should all know that our ancestor's lifespan is coming to an end. We have been searching for ways to prolong his life. Yunxi sent us a rare and precious medicine, which has made our ancestor's condition better and better. I thought we could hold on until we could purchase the longevity pill, but I never expected this..."

Yunxi also sighed in a mock manner, but still made a suggestion:
“Since everyone has their own guesses, let’s invite a physician to examine him and determine the true cause of our ancestor’s demise. This will give the clansmen an explanation, stabilize the situation in the clan as soon as possible, and send our ancestor off on his final journey.” “Yunxi is right. As long as we determine that it was not caused by human error, that’s fine. Our ancestor has worked hard all his life, and we should let him leave with dignity.”

Immediately, Wei Lingtao began issuing orders, and the entire Wei family sprang into action.

Yunxi said at the opportune moment:
"When the patriarch formed his core last time, I paid a special visit to the ancestor. The ancestor asked to see his great-aunt Wei Chenyin, saying that there had been a misunderstanding between the two of them before."

Now that the Wei family has moved to Haoran City, he didn't want the misunderstanding to continue and hoped that the Wei family could unite as one, so he asked me to mediate and arrange for her to come to the Wei family for a meeting. He just didn't expect this to happen.

Yunxi was telling the truth, but she knew very well that Wei Nanfeng's meeting with Wei Chenyin was not for reconciliation, but purely for showing off. However, this gave her ample reason to bring the matter out into the open.

Wei Lingtao reacted quickly. He remembered what Yunxi had promised him, and his heart skipped a beat. He then licked his lips and said:

"With the fall of Ancestor Nanfeng, the matter of welcoming Ancestor Chenyin back is even more necessary."

The Wei family was new to Haoran City, and it was only with Yunxi's help that they were able to gain a foothold. A few days ago, I advanced to the Golden Core stage. Although this didn't make the other families in Haoran City look at me differently, I wouldn't openly bully them either.

However, now that our ancestor has passed away after his lifespan has run out, our Wei family seems somewhat weak and isolated. Ancestor Chenyin is an inner sect elder of the Haoran Sect, and her cultivation is at the Golden Core stage. Her return to the Wei family would be more beneficial than harmful to us; the family desperately needs her right now.”

The elders in the main hall nodded in agreement. Now was not the time to be sad or upset; the interests of the family were the most important thing.

The older generation of clansmen all knew that Ancestor Nanfeng and Ancestor Chenyin were at odds. In fact, those who knew the inside story also knew that the fault did not lie with Ancestor Chenyin. It was just that because their cultivation was low, they were powerless to change anything and could only accept Ancestor Nanfeng with a bitter face. Now the situation is different. They have other choices. Why not correct their mistakes?
Yunxi only made the first move, and the Wei family head and elders had already discussed the rest. They unanimously agreed that it would be better for Yunxi to invite Wei Chenyin back to the family, so as not to bother two people, and also to hope that Wei Chenyin would not refuse the invitation out of respect for Yunxi.

Yunxi readily agreed, saying that she would try her best to persuade Ancestor Chenyin to return to the Wei family to take charge.

Just then, a noisy commotion came from outside the main hall, with Wei Yunqing's voice being the loudest.

Yunxi turned to look at Wei Lingyue, who was also taken aback. He was clearly surprised that his eldest daughter would cause trouble as soon as she returned. A hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes, but he quickly composed himself and left the council hall.

Yunxi then turned to Wei Lingtao and asked:

"Patriarch, have you sealed off the backyard where Ancestor Nanfeng lives? Don't let any unauthorized people enter."

"Don't worry, no outsiders will go in except for us elders. The isolation formation has already been activated."

Yunxi nodded in satisfaction. She didn't go to Wei Nanfeng's residence immediately after returning to the Wei family in order to avoid suspicion and not want certain people to focus their suspicious gaze on her. However, with Wei Yunqing's return, the situation may have changed.

Sure enough, a moment later Wei Yunqing led a male cultivator into the main hall, followed by a helpless-looking Wei Lingyue. Yunqing glanced around before fixing her gaze on Yunxi, then looked away and loudly addressed Wei Lingtao:

“Patriarch, the death of Ancestor Nanfeng is shrouded in mystery. I suspect that someone harmed him. This matter must be thoroughly investigated.”
