Chapter 440: Story (II)
"How is it not possible?"
Kong Yu's face darkened, gritting his teeth as he continued, "The ancestor's son was killed before him, yet in his confusion, he ended up playing a game with that boy about holding on for the duration of an incense stick! He even lost and became a laughingstock! Funny, isn't it?!"
Kong Yu laughed bitterly, then continued softly with a pained expression, "The people we sent out lost their minds and became fools to be consumed as mere fodder by the enemy. Ultimately, even our ancestor, who was at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm, also fell to that boy. He desecrated our family's immortal mountain, dismantled the Kong Family, and eventually returned to the north."
"Where was Daoist Master Changxi?" Li Xuanxuan asked, his throat dry from listening to the story.
Kong Yu replied softly, "Daoist Master Changxi did eventually break through and return. However, within three years, our Kong Family was scattered and nicknamed the One Stick of Incense Clan. Terrified, Daoist Master Changxi relocated from Xu State, leading to the founding of Profound Peak Gate."
The story left Li Xuanxuan's back drenched in a cold sweat. He sighed as realization dawned upon him.
No wonder Profound Peak Gate is in its current state of decline—most of their cultivators have perished, and they have yet to recover from this incident...
Kong Yu continued with a sorrowful expression, "The disaster that befell my Kong Family is a tale of utter helplessness. I can only imagine how much despair my ancestor must have felt when faced with such calamity. This incident stirred up a sensation in Xu State, and the surviving clan members who scattered among various families were well-known."
Li Xuanxuan asked curiously, "Do you know the name of that person back then…?"
