I Have Countless Past-life Identities-Chapter 173 - 93: Unfilial Descendant, Why Aren’t You Kneeling and Kowtowing to Mr. Ji!?_3

"If you truly hold resentment in your heart..."

"I, as an old man, would not favor my descendants either. Since Chen Gong committed such despicable acts, he will certainly not be able to touch the position of Guardian. When he returns, I will expel him from the mansion and let his lineage fend for themselves."

"At that time, the enmity between you, young man, and him will be no longer connected to my Chen Family. Moreover, I will personally compensate you, how about it?"

Jixia kept staring at the silhouette within the 'Song Ancestral Hall,' one that seemed vaguely like 'Song Chai Xin.'

Chen Zhao couldn't help but say again:

"Young friend, would you like to offer a stick of incense?"

"Inside, there are tributes to the previous Guardian who cleansed Black Mountain of demons. His achievements far surpass mine. If that Celestial Pride were still alive today, he might easily conquer the third and fourth steps single-handedly."

Upon hearing this, Jixia feigned surprise:

"Oh?"

"But I've heard that the previous Guardian was a 'taboo,' having committed unforgivable sins, his achievements wiped away. Why does it differ from what the Guardian's tone suggests?"

Chen Zhao's eyes darkened:

"Pure fabrication, mere rumor, take it not as truth."

Hearing this, Jixia seemed contemplative:

"If that's the case, I also have a top-secret matter to tell Lord Guardian. Would Lord Guardian be willing to enter and listen face-to-face with me?"

"Oh?"

Chen Zhao's white eyebrows twitched as he smiled:

"I'm willing to hear the details."

Saying this, both he and Jixia entered the hall, confronting each other in front of the golden Eight Immortals table. Just as they were about to light three sticks of incense...

They suddenly heard an astonishing voice echoing from one side:

"Chen Zhao."

"Fifty-seven years ago, when I entered Black Mountain, I never saw you possess such spirit."

"Is it truly that times have changed, and human nature is fickle."

"Or is it that holding high position and being accustomed to exerting influence, this Guardian post has nurtured you, making you emulate those demons, Martial Artists, officials that I once subdued comprehensively with my fists..."

"Do you also wish to trample the rules of Black Mountain City?"

Crash!

Chen Zhao tightened his grip on the cane, first with a sudden raise of his head!

As he looked at the unchanged image of 'Song Chai Xin' above, without any manifestation.

He stiffly turned his head, looking towards Jixia standing below Song Chai Xin's image, not knowing when his expression and demeanor had completely changed.

Thus, his eyes slowly widened, and with a scrutinizing glance, he fell into long silence.

The once rosy-clad youth and the present identical spirited young figure slowly overlapped.

Causing Chen Zhao's face to twitch, his gaze suddenly became blurry:

"Song Guardian?"

Even though the appearance is no longer the same.

But the words, this demeanor...

Made him instantly come to a judgment!

Looking at the much older Chen Zhao, whose name was blurted out unconsciously, Jixia smiled:

"You can recognize me even now?"

"It seems that fifty-seven years ago... you too wished to continue listening."

Without any hesitation, he sat at the sacrificial Eight Immortals table.

Jixia even grabbed a handful of offerings, putting them in his mouth, with no reverence at all.

After all, in this world.

Where is there a reason to show reverence to oneself?

Looking at Chen Zhao, whose expression was dumbfounded, Jixia raised his eyebrow, showing a hint of a smile.

Originally, he feared exposing his identity would pose a risk, thus he sought to connect with Xie Mansion as a support.

But with Tantai Yao as a backer...

On this Black Mountain soil, what wouldn't he dare?

Even if Chen Zhao doesn't acknowledge him!

He would still be unstoppable!

...

Chen Gong, with his daughter Chen Qingping, sweating profusely, returned to the Guardian Mansion.

Just a moment ago.

He suddenly received an 'order' from the old man, asking him to quickly return with his daughter.

Thinking carefully about the cause along the way.

Without much consideration, he knew it was mostly due to today's events being exposed.

But this was expected, after all, things had come to this. Other than making swift decisions, there's no other way.

As Chen Gong was pondering how to exonerate himself and his daughter.

Just as he stepped into the main hall of the Guardian Mansion.

He suddenly heard a voice like a rumbling thunder, sternly and gravely:

"Ungrateful descendants, kneel down and kowtow to Mr. Ji without hesitation!?"

Startled at once, he looked up, seeing Old Chen Zhao, furious with hair standing on end!

If only this, it wouldn't be that shocking.

But next to the old man...

The one seated in the main position...

Was dressed in a Profound Robe, extremely young!

It was —

Jixia!
