True Lord Qianyang Makes an Issue of It

Before Chen Ning could speak...

Nalan Yao said softly, "Don't worry, Goddess, we're just serving the leader; nothing will go wrong."

Ding Erliang also chuckled lewdly, "Yeah, we're all good people, why would we get into arguments with others?"

Bai Ziyu and Old Man Yang both smiled slightly, indicating that there was no problem.

These guys, who usually pursue Carefree life, are now all saying nice things to each other.

That does seem rather strange.

In fact, they all wanted Chen Ning to gain the protection of the Light God Clan.

That's why he spoke so ingratiatingly.

"Alright, enough talk, come with me into the city."

"Good!"

The group followed Ji Hongyi to the gates of the City of Light.

Anyone entering the City of Light must pass through the city gates.

Otherwise, they will be considered intruders.

No one dared to provoke such a colossal being as the Light God Clan, so they could only obediently walk through the city gate.

"Greetings, Goddess!"

When the members of the Light God Clan responsible for guarding the city gate saw Ji Hongyi, they all clasped their hands in a salute to her.

"Um."

Ji Hongyi gave a soft "hmm" and then prepared to lead Chen Ning and the others into the city.

Although the guards were unaware of Chen Ning and his companions' identities, they made no attempt to stop them since they were with the goddess.

After all, this person is of noble status.

But.

Just then, an untimely voice rang out.

"You were put in charge of guarding the city gates, and this is how you neglect your duties?"

The words had barely left his mouth.

A young man dressed in gleaming golden armor walked slowly towards them.

I saw him.

Ji Hongyi clearly felt some disgust.

The young man smiled and said, "Sister, no, now that you are the successor, shouldn't I, your brother, also call you Goddess?"

"Is there something you need?"

Ji Hongyi's attitude towards this person was extremely cold.

"It's nothing, it's just that my cousin brought so many unfamiliar faces into the city, it's bound to attract attention."

"They are my friends. Do I have to report to you if I bring my friends into the city?"

"Of course not."

The young man smiled, then unleashed a palm strike. The force of the strike was so powerful that the two guards were sent flying and crashed into the city wall.

He vomited blood.

They looked extremely pitiful.

"Mercy, True Lord Qianyang!"

The two men begged for mercy.

The young man showed no sign of stopping. He said coldly, "You dare to slack off on such an important task as guarding the city gate? It seems you don't want to live."

"True Lord Qianyang, spare our lives! We will never dare to do it again!"

However.

No matter how much they pleaded, it was to no avail.

Ji Qianyang raised his foot, about to stomp on the two men.

Just then, Ji Hongyi said coldly, "Enough. I told them not to investigate. It has nothing to do with them. If you have a problem, come at me."

"Sister, I may not have the authority to investigate your friends, but I certainly have the right to discipline those who neglect their duties. Don't make things too difficult for your brother," Ji Qianyang laughed.

What exactly do you want to do?

Ji Hongyi frowned slightly. The two guards were being mistreated out of sheer bad luck; the other party was just trying to give her a hard time.

"Sister, news of Heaven of Profound Understanding has spread. You returned without explaining anything to the clan, and then left again without a word, only returning to the city now. This puts our clan in a very difficult position!"

Ji Qianyang was referring to the time when Ji Hongyi expressed her feelings to Chen Ning in Heaven of Profound Understanding.

That day, all the prodigies of various races were present, and the news naturally spread after they returned to the Vast Land.

At the same time.

It also spread to the War God Clan.

The War God Clan immediately dispatched people to the City of Light to find out the reason for the incident.

Since Ji Hongyi returned to Vast Land and left again soon afterward, the people of the War God Clan were still in the City of Light, and the higher-ups of the Light God Clan were unable to provide an explanation.

The entire clan is waiting for Ji Hongyi to return.

"I came back this time to give Grandpa the clan chief an explanation."

Ji Hongyi's beautiful eyes flickered slightly as she spoke.

"Oh?"

Ji Qianyang glanced at Chen Ning and asked, "Is he the one you secretly admire?"

Have you heard my story?

Chen Ning asked.

"You killed the heir of the Darkness God Clan, and your name is already known Vast Land. Naturally, someone has made a copy of your portrait."

That's all.

He then looked at Ji Hongyi and said, "Sister, your marriage to the chosen one of the War God Clan is a result beyond your control. Don't try to escape by marrying someone from the lower realm. This is your fate, and you can't avoid it..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

Then a poisoned dart flew towards them.

Ji Qianyang's pupils contracted sharply, and he narrowly managed to pinch the poisoned dart between his two fingers at the throat.

"How dare you! You dare to attack me in the City of Light?"

Ji Qianyang was instantly enraged.

Ding Erliang, his face dark with malice, said, "How dare you offend my leader? Try saying another word."

Ji Qianyang, who had always lived a life of luxury, had never been threatened like this before, and was about to take action on the spot.

But the next moment...

Xue Rang took a step forward, and his powerful aura burst forth.

It was like a ferocious beast about to be released from its cage.

This made Ji Qianyang's throat tighten.

These people are not simple...

Moreover, the aura around them was somewhat strange.

"You are... sacrifices?"

Ji Qianyang laughed and shook his head, saying, "Sister, you brought so many ominous people into the city. Have you considered the consequences? Go and cut off that short guy's head, and I'll cover for you. Otherwise..."

Under such circumstances.

Ji Hongyi remained unyielding, coldly replying, "If I were to marry Ning Gucheng, it shouldn't be difficult for me to have the War God Clan help me kill you..."

"What... what do you mean by that?"

Ji Qianyang frowned.

"It's nothing. It's just that, as you said, if I truly cannot defy fate, then I am bound to marry Ning Gucheng. Now that you're making things so difficult for my friend, do you think I'll let you live?"

Listen to that calm voice.

Ji Qianyang broke out in a cold sweat.

His cousin is a woman of strong emotions, capable of both love and hate, and she's willing to do anything. He really can't Deceiving People.

"Sister, for the sake of our kinship, let's just let bygones be bygones regarding that guy's ambush on me."

Ji Qianyang eventually gave in.

He then left.

Ji Hongyi clenched her fists, remaining silent for a long time. After a moment, she took out two top-grade immortal Immortal Pill and handed them to the two injured city guards.

"I'm so sorry, it's all because of me that you got hurt by him."

"Goddess, what are you saying? We don't blame you."

"That's right. Normally, we don't need to investigate guests of important figures in the clan. He's just trying to use this as an excuse. But you, Goddess, should be careful."

"Um."

Ji Hongyi nodded.

Chen Ning asked curiously, "Who is this guy? How dare he talk to you like that?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Hongyi sighed softly, saying with some helplessness, "The Light God Clan, under the leadership of our patriarch grandfather, is controlled by two factions. I belong to different camps, so naturally we are irreconcilable enemies."
