This time, Ye Kong's homecoming was unprecedentedly grand. The sects of Cangnan, the Shadow Clan, the Black Robe, and several large sects of Yunyao were all accompanied by sect masters.
Each of them represented the top old immortals in this world. It was rare to see them, but now they were all here!
The An Kingdom's emperor, An Huajian, had nothing to do with Immortal Ye except to say a few words to him. He was extremely noble in the mortal world, but in front of the sect masters, he was nothing. The sect masters kept talking to Ye Kong, so how could he have a chance to speak?
However, a man with an Eight Trigrams Talisman threw him a jade pendant and said, "The reception this time is not bad. The An Kingdom's royal family can have a disciple of the Hunyuan Sect, with or without Spirit Roots."
An Huajian's eyes were filled with tears as he quickly knelt down and kowtowed. Although the An Kingdom was related to the Spiritual Medicine Mountain, they only accepted disciples with Spirit Roots. Although the royal family had many descendants, there had never been one with Spirit Roots. But now, with this jade pendant, the An Kingdom's royal family could finally have an immortal cultivator!
Of course, Ye Kong didn't care about these small things. He had already walked to the Ye Family's gate surrounded by many sect masters.
Standing at the bottom of the steps, Ye Kong looked up at the golden words "General of the South's Mansion" in the drizzle and felt endless emotions in his heart. Although it wasn't the first time he had come back to pay his respects, he still felt endless emotions.
"It's been so many years." Ye Kong let out a sigh and heard his mother sobbing softly. It seemed that Chen Jiuniang had more feelings for Southern City.
"Mother, let's go in." Ye Kong comforted his mother and continued walking inside.
Just as he was about to go in, he saw a few old men kneeling at the door. Although it was drizzling, their bodies were already wet.
Ye Kong stopped and asked, "What's the meaning of this?"
Someone immediately stepped forward and said, "Eighth Young Master, these are the descendants of the Ye Family's servants and the old neighbors of the Ye Mansion. They are here to welcome you."
Ye Kong said angrily, "Who arranged this welcoming ceremony? Don't they know it's raining?"
Ye Kong and the others were either immortals or cultivators. Thus, they were not affected by the rain. However, it was different for mortals. The few old men found it hard to endure the rain.
Ye Kong wanted to punish the local officials, but he heard the old men say, "Eighth Young Master, we are willing to do this. To be able to see you, an old man, is worth it even if we die."
Another old man said, "Eighth young master, I don't know if you remember Liu Changqing, he is the Ye family's guard, he is my father. My mother is also a maid of the Ye family. It's all thanks to you that they can be together. When my parents passed away, they still remembered you … "
After saying that, the old man started wiping his tears. Ye Kong nodded slightly, and went forward to help these elders up, saying, "I remember, I remember."
Another old man said with tears in his eyes, "With Eighth Young Master protecting our An Kingdom and Nandu, we're all living a good life. It's all thanks to Eighth Young Master, so a little rain is nothing. Everyone's been waiting happily."
Ye Kong looked back and saw that the streets were already filled with the people of Nandu City. They were all welcoming him in the rain. Many of them were old people and children.
Ye Kong was touched and raised his hand to point at the sky. A ray of resplendent white light shot out from Ye Kong's fingertip. That ray of white light pierced through the layer of clouds above the light rain.
Ye Kong opened his mouth and said lightly. "Disperse."
After that, the white light that pierced the clouds exploded, forming a large fog of light. Wherever the fog of light went, the clouds were all shattered into pieces the size of mahjong tiles. Then, those pieces were quickly melted by the fog of light.
In the blink of an eye, the sky within ten thousand miles became clear.
He raised his hand and changed the weather. The mortals had never seen such a method before. All the people in the city knelt down and said, "Eighth Young Master is mighty! Long live Eighth Young Master! "
Not to mention mortals, even cultivators were terrified when they saw this. Cultivators could also change the weather. However, they had to set up an array formation or use various divine abilities.
Those were more troublesome. They had to prepare a lot and do a lot of work. They were not as calm as Ye Kong. He raised his hand, pointed, and said softly. With a wave of his hand, the clouds within ten thousand miles melted, and the sun shone. This was a true immortal method!
Ye Kong stopped the drizzle and the sky cleared up. He relaxed and supported his mother. "Mother, the dead are gone. Don't hurt your body with sorrow. Let's go in."
Ye Kong and his family entered the Ye Family Ancestral Hall to pay their respects. Even the big shots of the big shots went in to kowtow and offer incense. After all, the dead were the most important.
If Ye Haoran knew that so many immortal masters kowtowed to him in the afterlife, he would be able to rest in peace!
After the Ancestral Hall, Ye Kong went to the cemetery to visit the Lu brothers who were buried there. According to their request, they were also buried in the Ye Family cemetery.
Actually, Ye Kong's feelings for Lu Jun and Lu Yi were even deeper than those of the Ye Family. Thinking back to the few times when Ye Kong was in trouble and had to escape, it was always Lu Jun and Lu Yi who helped him take care of his mother. If it wasn't for the Lu brothers, Ye Kong's mother, Lu Qin, Xiao Hong, and Ye Kong's children would have all died.
Lu Jun's son was now a perfected Golden Core cultivator. He said with red eyes, "Father passed away three years ago at the age of 129. When uncle heard that my father passed away, he was also extremely sad. My father's funeral had just ended, and he also passed away … Before they left, they all left with smiles on their faces. They often said that they had no regrets in this life. To be able to follow Eighth Young Master was their greatest fortune. If there was a next life, they would still follow Eighth Young Master. "
Ye Kong nodded and sighed. "They have no regrets, but I, Ye Kong, do! Everyone else thinks that it is their fortune to be with me. But only I know that I, Ye Kong, have these two brothers. It is my, Ye Kong's, fortune! "
Ye Kong said emotionally. His eyes turned red. Lu Jun's son and Lu Yi's daughter kept crying.
It was the Seven Stars Sect's Sect Leader, Tan Qingwei, who came out and said, "The dead cannot come back to life. But just now, we talked about reincarnation. If Immortal Ye is willing, I have a way."
Ye Kong hurriedly said, "What way? Tell me."
Tan Qinghuai said, "The mortal world's law is that when a person dies, their soul will leave their body. Some will stay in this world and become ghosts. Some will return to the Underworld and enter reincarnation. The Lu brothers died of old age. Their souls must have returned to the Underworld. "
"Ordinary people like the Lu brothers will be refined in the Underworld for twelve months. That is to say, one year. After one year, they will reincarnate. I believe the Lu brothers have already reincarnated! "
Ye Kong thought of something. He nodded and said, "That's right. The Lu brothers did me a favor in my previous life. I have no way to repay them. If I can know where they will reincarnate, I can repay them in my next life."
Tan Qingwei nodded and said, "That's right. My Seven Stars Sect has some techniques that can calculate the time of reincarnation. It's just that the place of reincarnation …"
At this moment, Divine Lord Yi Tong walked out and said, "Damned Old Tan, you always think about me. Are you thinking about me?"
Ye Kong said, "Senior Yi Tong, I have to ask for your help again. Last time, my wife, Zixuan, also asked you to calculate her location. It was very accurate."
Yi Tong said, "Alright, alright. Since Immortal Ye has a favor to ask of me, of course I have to help."
