The Ancient Realm Goddess
The Destruction of a Clan

The Gong clan's entourage finally came out of the Tianjun palace with gloom on each other's faces. They feel ashamed that they have just been rejected. The Gong Clan was a great clan in the Celestials. Who would dare to resist the wishes of his young master? Only that Qing girl was brave.

Xie Song looked at Qing Yue'er in astonishment, but there was also a hint of anxiety. “Yue'er, will this be okay?”

“Grandfather, don't be afraid. If we can defeat the Liu clan it means we can also defeat the Gong clan,” Qing Yue'er said calmly. Then he looked at his grandfather with an inexplicable look in his eyes.

“I'm more worried they won't have a place to go home,” he said.

Xie Song did not know what Qing Yue'er said. It was then that Xie Ying Fei suddenly ran in. His face seemed worried about something. “I heard the people of the Gong clan have just come here? They tried to propose Yue'er?”

“Hais. You came late,” grumbled Xie Song.

“Sorry, I just finished my regular meditation,”, said Xie Ying Fei. Then he looked at Qing Yue. “How? Did you reject it?”

Qing Yue'er nodded. Of course he refused. Gong Lanjiang the future successor of the clan? What's the special about that? Even Uncle Wuqing would also be the successor of the clan. Nothing of interest to Qing Yue'er.

“I've been feeling suspicious of what Gong Lanjiang said when we were at Eternal Cloud Peak. It turned out that the boy had planned this,” Xie Ying Fei said. He exhaled his long breath, slightly inexhaustible.

At that moment suddenly the sky that was quite far away from Tianjun palace blackened. The loud thumping sound of several times rang out to shake the Celestial. Xie Song and Xie Ying Fei became shocked. They immediately came out followed by Qing Yue'er at the back.

“What happened?!” Xie Song asked curiously. The sound was heard from the north. He looked at the northern sky and watched the black smoke so thickly soaring.

“Where is it? Is there a fire or what?” Xie Wuqing who had just arrived was shocked and astonished. He heard a thump and felt the ground slightly shake. That led him to come here.

“I don't know either,” replied Xie Song. Then he narrowed his eyes to see what was really going on.

“That's the Gong clan,” said Xie Ying Fei suddenly. Then he immediately looked at Qing Yue'er with full of probing. “You know this?”

Qing Yue'er shook her head weakly. No words came out of his mouth. It seems he understands what is going on. It's just that we can't be sure of the truth.

Xie Ying Fei was skeptical of Qing Yue'er's reply. He placed suspicion on someone, but did not dare to mention that name.

It was not only the Xie family who felt shocked and astonished. Most of the people in the Celestial felt the same way. They did not know what was really happening in the northern sky, or rather in the Gong clan. Suddenly they heard a bang from there.

Lately they had not heard of any major problems in the Gong clan. It was just that yesterday there was news about Young Master Gong Lanjiang who he said today went to the Xie clan to try to propose to Xie Ying Fei's daughter. Then why did they suddenly receive an attack?

No one can guess it right. However, the amount of smoke coming out made them think it was a fire or an internal conflict. For now everyone will just wait for the next gossip.

Meanwhile, Gong Lanjiang's entourage who was on the way back, felt so shocked. They had already covered half the distance of the journey and only half more would he arrive. However, they suddenly saw how the explosion had happened up ahead there.

They saw how the blue sky began to be contaminated by black smoke. Then even thicker smoke appeared to soar into the sky.

As their distance was already quite close, they could feel the vibrations on the ground more clearly. Even the sound of the explosion made them feel sad.

“Uncle, that ... that's what's going on?! Isn't that the direction of Meide's palace?!” Gong Lanjiang asked his uncle. His face implied a lot of fear. The angry feeling previously caused by Qing Yue'er instantly disappeared.

“We have to hurry back!” Gong Liufeng got a bad feeling. Looks like something big happened at Meide's palace.

Finally their group immediately rushed back quickly. When it had arrived there, everyone could not help but be stunned. The palace they live in is fine now can no longer be described with the word ‘ alright.’

The large building was filled with flames and the cries of people trapped inside. There were many ruins thrown up many meters away. It must have been the result of the explosion that had previously been heard.

The towering Meide palace tower was engulfed in flames and only waited a short time to reach destruction. There were many pieces of human limbs lying on the ground. Some were charred, some were bleeding.

Gong Lanjiang could not see that frightening sight. Grief, confusion and despair began to enter his heart. His body trembled and had to force himself to step.

“What are you waiting for?! Quickly extinguish the fire!” The more experienced Gong Liufeng finally shouted furiously. The people in the entourage instead of rushing to put out the fire had just since just wailed in confusion.

“Lanjiang, quickly use your power and extinguish it!”

Finally Gong Lanjiang regained his senses and immediately moved darting forward. He took out spiritual qi and turned it into a source of water to extinguish the fire. For a while, he did not feel that there was anything strange. However, after he expended a lot of energy it turned out that the flames there did not decrease in the slightest.

This made Gong Lanjiang confused. He tried again, but there was no result. It just drains his power.

“Uncle! What the hell's going on? I can't put out the fire at all!” Gong Lanjiang shouted loudly asking Gong Liufeng. However, the man asked also had no idea what was going on. They were equally unable to put out the flames.

“Dad! Daddy's! Did you hear me?” Gong Lanjiang called his father several times. His father was the head of the clan, his strength could not be underestimated. Nothing should have happened to him. At least that was what Gong Lanjiang had expected.

“Uhuk!”

Suddenly Gong Lanjiang heard a coughing sound from the back of the building. He immediately ran over there and checked who was still alive.

“Dad!” Gong Lanjiang immediately approached his father and stared nanar at the man's state. The man who was previously extremely strong and authoritative, was now already filled with fear and despair. “Dad, I'll help you!”

Gong Lanjiang channeled his spiritual qi and restored a bit of his father's state. It really scared her feelings. He still depends a lot on that guy.

“Who did this?! Who, Dad? Me, I won't let him go so easily!”

“Stop that shit of yours! You don't have anything else, who can you beat?” Gong Lanjiang's father, Gong Luyao, looked at his son with displeasure.

“What is that guy? What is such a strong person that we won't be able to defeat him?” ask Gong Lanjiang. He didn't feel like giving up.

“Stupid! I really don't know why I could have a child as stupid as you! If he was just an ordinary person, do you think he would be able to make our palace become like this?!” Gong Luyao finally handed over the paper she had desperately protected against burning. “Open your eyes and read this!”

Gong Lanjiang finally received the paper from his father and immediately opened the contents. There were written sentences that were not so long, but when read inexplicably made Gong Lanjiang not dare to argue.

“A warning because someone has dared to approach my girl.”

Gong Lanjiang's hand holding the paper seemed to tremble. A warning? Even after destroying the Gong clan, that person said this was just a warning? What about the real punishment? Wouldn't that be scarier than this?

“This is all because of your gluttony! If you don't force a girl too much then our Gong clan won't be destroyed like this!” Gong Luyao wanted to continue scolding her son, but she did not have too much strength. He coughed a few times and immediately spat out a mouthful of red blood.

“Dad! I'm sorry, really! Don't go, I just have you here!” Gong Lanjiang knelt beside his father. Although he was often annoyed at the rules of the father, deep in his heart he was unwilling to lose the figure of the old man.

Gong Luyao sighed sadly. “Forget about that Qing girl. I think the girl in question is him. You really .... I won't die now, Lanjiang. Don't cry like a whiny girl!”

“I didn't know there was someone who already had Qing Yue'er. If I knew, I couldn't possibly force this,” Gong Lanjiang replied softly.

“Basically you have to change your vices. Look, there's nothing left here. The fire was .... why would not it be extinguished, heh?!” Gong Luyao shouted furiously. He pushed Gong Lanjiang away and tried to stand up limping.

“Liufeng, is this really unwilling to go out?”

Gong Liufeng shook his head in resignation. “No. It will be an eternal sea of fire. May never be extinguished for good.”

Gong Lanjiang who heard this could only fall silent on the ground. There was nothing that could be saved from the Gong clan. Not a single one. Regret began to creep into his heart. He should still be able to stay in the great palace, he should still be able to enjoy the people serving him, he should still be able to live quietly.

However, it would never be able to get her again just because of her vices. Just because of his greedy desire.

“What have I done?” Suddenly the question rotated many times inside the brain and went down to strangle his neck. Gong Lanjiang felt asphyxiated. Not because someone was strangling him, but because of a sense of regret that was too big and made it difficult to breathe.

The eternal flame will never be extinguished. And will forever remind him of his great mistakes and losses.

***

News of the destruction of the Gong clan instantly spread. People are still shocked by this sudden event. The culprit is not revealed and it makes them second-guess.

Within the Xie clan, Xie Song was also still guessing who would have dared to do that. He suddenly recalled Qing Yue'er's earlier remark. The girl said she was more worried that Gong Lanjiang's entourage would have nowhere to go. Then this suddenly happened.

Xie Song rubbed his chin. “Could the girl have guessed about this?” He doesn't know. If that's true, then .... Xie Song did not know how to comment.

Meanwhile, the perpetrator behind the creation of the eternal flame was lying lazily within his own dimension. The flames adorned a vast dimension. The red color completely dominates the place. Suddenly he heard footsteps approaching. He pretended to close his eyes peacefully.

“Jingtian, tell me now. Are you the one who wiped out the Gong clan?” I heard that sound from the side. Mo Jingtian was unwilling to say anything and simply closed his eyes unwillingly facing Qing Yue'er.

“What's wrong with you? Are you ignoring me?” Qing Yue'er became astonished.

“Are you going to scold me?” asked Mo Jingtian.

“Do I look like someone who is angry?” Qing Yue'er asked back. Of course he wouldn't have gotten into trouble if it was Mo Jingtian who had already done it. After all he himself also hated Gong Lanjiang. “I'm actually happy.”

Mo Jingtian finally opened her eyes. He looked at Qing Yue'er intently. “You happy?”

Qing Yue'er nodded. Then she smiled seductively. “What is the sign that the venerable Mr Mo has just felt jealous?”

Mo Jingtian was unwilling to admit it. He shook his head and replied, “I just want to teach a lesson because of his arbitrary attitude.” He's alibi.

Qing Yue'er rounded her mouth for a long oh. His eyes looked incredulous at the answer he had just heard. “Then, is there no one who survived there? I just heard the news that the fire can't be extinguished.”

“Indeed will not be able to extinguish, even if the water in the sea spilled. I made sure the head of the Gong clan did not die,” Mo Jingtian replied. “That fire would be nice to warn others not to play around with just any girl,” he added expressionlessly.

Honestly speaking Qing Yue'er felt quite flattered. The man wouldn't say it, but he knew that Mo Jingtian didn't feel happy to see another man approaching him.
