Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor-Chapter 1178 - 1175: Ji Lingling’s Accusation!

After secretly making up his mind, he put on a facade of deep-seated hatred and angrily rebuked the Pu family father and son, as well as the Inner Sect Elder of the Black Cloud Sect, Du Huoyang.

The way he looked heartbroken, it seemed as if it was not the Ji Family that had been wiped out, but his own Hong Family.

His act was indeed impressive, making Ji Lingling, who had just suffered the calamity of family extermination and was harshly reprimanded by her second uncle without understanding the situation, feel a sense of goodwill towards him.

However, though Hong Pu could deceive the naive and young Ji Lingling, he could not fool the old fox, Ji Hongguang.

Ji Hongguang could clearly see that Hong Pu had no intention of avenging the Ji Family; he was merely interested in pursuing Ji Lingling.

Moreover, he knew that Hong Pu was a young and promiscuous man, often using the pretense of discussing cultivation insights to lure young and beautiful female disciples into his cave residence for his pleasure.

The majority of female disciples were rather willing to engage with Chief Disciple Hong Pu, seeing it as an honor rather than a disgrace.

It seemed that their Chief had once again set his eyes on Ling’er, intending to add her to his harem.

Yet, Ji Hongguang did not intend to stop this; instead, he was planning something else.

Now that the Ji Family had been exterminated, if he wanted to rise within the Spiritual Spring Sect, he needed to latch onto the big tree that was Hong Pu.

As long as he pleased Hong Pu, when he eventually attained the position of Sect Leader, how could he not secure a seat among the sect elders for himself?

And wasn’t this the perfect chance to curry favor with Hong Pu right now?

Sacrificing a niece to secure his glorious future was a bargain that was worthwhile no matter how calculated.

Moreover, he wasn’t pushing his niece into a fire pit; he was finding her a solid place to belong.

After all, who could offer a more powerful position than being the companion of the Chief Disciple of the Spiritual Spring Sect?

With this in mind, Ji Hongguang actively assumed the role of Hong Pu’s supporter, speaking good words on his behalf.

He even took the initiative to apologize to Ji Lingling, saying that his previous words had been harsh and asked her not to take them to heart.

Ji Lingling, being a kind-hearted girl, couldn’t withstand such a barrage of attacks and immediately regarded Hong Pu as a savior, thanking him profusely.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Hong Pu again pretended to be deeply considerate.

"Junior Sister Ling’er, this matter involves not only the Tianyang City Lord Manor but also the Black Cloud Sect. It’s of great importance and requires careful planning."

Upon hearing Hong Pu suddenly change his tone, Ji Lingling felt a sense of unease.

She gently bit her lip, resolutely saying, "Brother Hong, as long as you can avenge the Ji Family, Ling’er is willing to serve you wholeheartedly!"

After pondering for a moment, Hong Pu pretended to be in a difficult position and said, "I happen to have an extremely tricky situation right now which needs Junior Sister Ling’er’s assistance!"

Upon hearing Hong Pu’s words, Ji Lingling’s heart skipped a beat, sensing something bad was about to happen.

Immediately, she steeled herself and asked, "Brother Hong, what do you need Ling’er to do?"

After thinking for a moment, Hong Pu said, "Junior Sister Ling’er, here’s the thing. I’ve been cultivating a Mysterious Technique that involves Yin Yang Cultivation and I need a female partner to assist me in breaking through the bottleneck to advance to the Nascent Soul Realm. You are precisely the most suitable candidate. Would Junior Sister Ling’er be willing to help me?"

After finishing his words, without waiting for Ji Lingling’s response, he quickly added another sentence.

"If you are willing to help, once I break through to the Nascent Soul Realm, I will personally go to Tianyang City and utterly destroy the Pu family, avenging your blood feud!"

Hearing Hong Pu’s outrageous demand, Ji Lingling was struck as if by a thunderbolt, her mind buzzing and going blank.

For some reason, at that moment, the image of Li Chen kept appearing in her mind.

If she hadn’t met Li Chen, regardless of how excessive Hong Pu’s demands were, as long as it meant avenging her, she would have agreed without hesitation.

As long as revenge could be achieved, she was willing to do anything. Even if it meant sacrificing her purity, she would not hesitate.

But...

Yet, whenever she thought of Li Chen, she felt a deep, piercing pain.

"Brother Hong, this matter can never be, please find another woman!"

Seeing Ji Lingling dare to reject him, Hong Pu’s face immediately darkened.

Seeing this, Ji Hongguang immediately scowled and scolded Ji Lingling.

"Ling’er, your headstrong behavior has already led to our Ji Family’s destruction. Now is our only chance for revenge, do you still intend to be stubborn and waste it?"

Ji Lingling, with tears in her eyes, shouted towards Ji Hongguang, "But..."

Before she could finish her words, Ji Hongguang again yelled furiously.

"But what? Our entire Ji family, hundreds of lives, all died because of your recklessness. Making a small sacrifice, isn’t it deserved?"

"Moreover, Hong Pu is the Chief Disciple of our Spiritual Spring Sect, the future Sect Leader. Practicing Yin Yang Cultivation with him is something many women long for. You actually feel aggrieved, not knowing your blessings, you’re just being unreasonable and making trouble!"

Hearing her uncle’s reprimand, Ji Lingling finally understood something, immediately letting out a sorrowful laugh.

"Second Uncle, you keep calling me headstrong and troublemaking. Isn’t it because you want to use my purity to curry favor with your Chief Disciple, the future Sect Leader, for your own bright future?"

"I see it clearly now, you never intended to avenge Grandfather and them. You only think about your own interests, your own future. To think I even regarded you as my most beloved uncle. Unfortunately, you are unworthy, unworthy!"

The final "unworthy" was screamed by Ji Lingling almost hysterically.

Seeing his true nature exposed, Ji Hongguang was immediately enraged, raising his palm and giving Ji Lingling a loud slap.

"Shut up! If it weren’t for you being a femme fatale, how could our Ji Family have encountered such a catastrophe? Now, you little wench, you dare accuse me, truly rebellious!"

Ji Lingling, slightly stunned by Ji Hongguang’s slap, covered her burning face and shouted angrily, "I will take revenge for the family myself. From now on, I have nothing to do with you, Ji Lingling!"

Having said that, she ran outside crying.

Seeing Ji Lingling trying to run, Ji Hongguang feared the situation would get out of control and quickly stepped forward to seize her firmly.

Worried that Ji Lingling might struggle and cause a commotion, bringing unnecessary trouble, he even knocked his niece unconscious.

At that moment, Hong Pu’s face also darkened instantly.

Clearly, the way things had developed did not please him.

Seeing this, Ji Hongguang hurriedly stepped forward to apologize, saying Ji Lingling had been spoiled by her family, not knowing the difference between good and bad, and hoped Chief Hong would not take offense.

Hong Pu glanced at Ji Lingling again, letting out a resentful grunt.

"Hmph, tonight, send your niece to my cave residence!"

Ji Hongguang nodded repeatedly, assuring it would be done.

Suddenly, he seemed to think of something and urgently asked, "Chief Hong, what should be done about the Loose Cultivator named Li Chen who came with Ling’er?"

Hong Pu glared at him disdainfully, saying, "Just a Loose Cultivator, get rid of him directly. Do you need to report that to me?"

Finishing his words, he no longer paid attention to Ji Hongguang, leaving in anger and resentment, flicking his sleeves.
