Ji Le Ping

The figure rushed over, looking disheveled but filled with excitement. He rushed to Ji Yun'ge's side, tears streaming down his old face.

"Third Brother, you're finally back!"

Seeing the old man's emotional tears, the people who had rushed over from the periphery were also astonished. Apart from Ji Yun'ge's funeral decades ago, they actually saw this decisive and ruthless Ji Family War God shedding tears again.

"Tianchao!"

Ji Yun'ge's illusory body also trembled slightly. Reunited with his brothers after a long separation, he was overwhelmed with memories.

Meanwhile, on the other Floating Islands surrounding the Saint Mountain, the magnificent palaces also quickly received news from the Saint Mountain.

Ji Yun'ge, the former War God of the Ji Family, has returned!

The entire Ji Family leadership was alarmed and gathered on the Saint Mountain, creating a great commotion.

The Ji Family Ancestral Hall was packed with people, many of whom came to pay their respects to the Ji Family's War God who had fallen decades ago.

Along the way, Ji Yun'ge talked with his brothers and wife about the things that had happened over the years.

The other sons, daughters-in-law, grandchildren, and other relatives followed behind their elders, not interrupting, but listening quietly and obediently, occasionally asking questions in low voices.

Ji Tianchao and the others were excited, but they didn't chatter amongst themselves. They had countless questions they wanted to ask Ji Yun'ge.

Where have you been all these years? How have you been? How did you get back? Everyone misses you terribly... and so on and so forth.

Ji Yun'ge also talked about her experiences over the years and the reasons for her return.

When they learned that Ji Yun'ge had indeed been imprisoned by the Mo River, everyone was both shocked and relieved.

When Ji Yun'ge died in battle, they searched everywhere for Ji Yun'ge soul, but couldn't find it, so they guessed that she might have been swept into the Mo River.

"The Nether Capital Tier Mo River has actually been cleared by someone?"

"Who is that young man? Which clan's Heavenly Prodigy?"

"What?! From our Ji Family?!"

"Qingqing's child?!"

Following Ji Yun'ge's words, everyone was even more shocked.

The Ancient Sacred Clan wasn't interested in the Youdu-level Mo River Great Peace Dao Realm might not be able to pass through it; at most, they would destroy it, and if they were unlucky, they might even perish in it if they encountered a particularly difficult one!

Even among the Ancient Aristocratic Family, those at the Great Peace Dao Realm are considered top-tier combatants.

Who would be willing to sacrifice such power to take such unnecessary risks?

It's important to understand that hunting Demon in the Mo River yields no benefit. Most of those Demons are imprisoned souls that dissipate once killed. As long as the Mo River is not cleared, these souls will reappear when it reopens.

Hunting down Great Demon King outside would at least yield a treasure trove from their corpses, which could be brought back to the Lineage to benefit future generations.

The Great Wasteland Heaven Demon is teeming with demons, making survival even more perilous. The Ancient Sacred Clan may sound impressive, but many things require careful planning and balancing; they won't waste their superior combat power unnecessarily.

In addition to this, there is another reason: the Great Wasteland Heaven Mo River of Merit Treasure Trove was closed during the Holy War ten thousand years ago!

Even after someone cleared the Youdu-level Mo River and accumulated 100,000 merits, they were unable to reopen it. As a result, the Mo River in the Great Wasteland Heaven was ignored by everyone, who avoided it whenever possible and were unwilling to waste their energy.

"What is that child's cultivation level? How could he possibly clear the Youdu-level Mo River?"

"Qingqing actually has a child! We only knew she had a secret marriage with someone from another tribe, but we never expected she would actually give birth to Bloodline!"

Ji Tianchao and the others looked surprised, their eyes filled with complex emotions.

Ji Qingqing is the daughter of the Thirteenth Child, who in Thirteenth Child early years hunted Great Demon King for his Lineage, but was unfortunately attacked and killed by the ferocious beasts.

Fortunately, the spirit returned to the Ancestral Shrine and was not swept away by the Mo River.

Not long ago, Ji Qingqing's whereabouts were exposed in the Outer Great Wasteland Heaven and she was brought back to her Lineage. Only then did they learn that she had secretly married into a foreign tribe.

Out of respect for the Thirteenth Child, the brothers helped cover up the news and prevent it from spreading widely within the Ji Family. However, they couldn't hide it from the other higher-ups, so in accordance with family rules, Ji Qingqing was imprisoned.

However, the plan was not to imprison him for life, but only as punishment for a thousand years.

This is already considered a lenient punishment.

Unexpectedly, Ji Qingqing actually has a child, and now she's come knocking on our door.

However, the fact that this child sent Ji Yun'ge back can be considered a great service to the Ji Family.

"That's right, that child is fifteen years old this year, and he's already at the Three Immortalities Realm, but he can kill Demon King, and he's even comparable to someone at the Ultimate Unique Skill Realm!"

Mentioning Li Hao, Ji Yun'ge smiled and said:

"I know the Clan Rules, but that child is truly an unparalleled Heavenly Prodigy, the most outstanding child I've ever seen. His character and Heavenly Talent are both top-notch!"

"I hope you can look after us. With this Qilin Child in our Ji Family will surely rise to great heights and restore the glory of our Progenitor Sage!"

Hearing his high praise, the onlookers were all shocked.

The Three Immortalities Realm at Fifteen?

This is indeed Heavenly Prodigy; even within the Ji Family, he is considered a top-tier Heavenly Talent.

Ji Yun'ge said that the opponent was no weaker than the Unique Skill Realm, which is a bit too much of a leap in adversity!

For a moment, some were shocked, some were skeptical, and some thought that Ji Yun'ge had been saved by the young man and therefore wanted to repay him, so she deliberately exaggerated the story, or even wanted to use it to absolve Ji Qingqing of her sins.

However, Ji Tianchao and Ji Yun'ge's brothers knew that their third brother would never lie about this.

Especially when it comes to matters involving Lineage interests, this third brother is more serious and earnest than anyone else.

Therefore, they are willing to believe even the most bizarre things.

"I never imagined that the Thirteenth Child's grandson would have such abilities!"

"If the Thirteenth Child knew, it would probably make up for the regret that Qingqing made when she did something wrong."

"Qingqing is a reckless child, but her child seems quite good. Let's talk to the Family Head later. Such Heavenly Prodigy should be given special consideration, even if it's an exception..."

Ji Tianchao and several other old comrades said to Ji Yun'ge.

They felt gratified and delighted that such Heavenly Prodigy could be born among their descendants.

Ji Yun'ge laughed. He believed that as long as Li Hao displayed his Heavenly Talent and competed for the top spot among the Heavenly Prodigy, he would definitely be able to find a place in the Ji Family.

After all, the Ji Family is relatively tolerant towards top-tier Prodigy.

Besides, that child is, after all, half a Ji Family.

Where is that child? We haven't seen him.

"He's at the foot of the mountain. I told him to wait there. You can send someone to pick him up later, but we need to report this to the Family Head first."

Ji Yun'ge said.

Everyone nodded slightly; such an important matter indeed required the Family Head's permission first.

Soon, they arrived at the Ancestral Shrine and saw Ji Daoxin, the current Family Head of the Ji Family, already waiting there.

The other party was Ji Yun'ge's uncle, from her father's generation. He was dressed in luxurious clothes, with snow-white hair and beard. He stood there quietly, like a quiet Snow Mountain lotus on a snowy mountain, giving off a sense of transcendence.

Ji Daoxin had a kind face, deep-set eyes, and a gentle gaze, like a kind and ordinary old grandfather.

However, the Ji Family is Ancient Sacred Clan that establishes its path through martial arts. The Great Wasteland Heaven also follows the Principle of respecting the strong. The person who can serve as the Family Head must be the strongest in the Ji Family.

At this moment, Ji Daoxin looked at Ji Yun'ge, who was being surrounded by people in the crowd, from afar. He smiled, but soon his eyes narrowed slightly, his expression changed, and the smile on his face disappeared.

Ji Yun'ge also saw the other person, and their eyes met. When Ji Yun'ge saw the change in the other person's expression, she immediately knew that her affairs had most likely been discovered.

"Yun Ge greets the Family Head!"

Ji Yun'ge stepped forward and bowed in greeting.

Ji Tianchao and the others standing nearby also quickly bowed.

The younger generation, on the other hand, knelt down to pay their respects.

In an instant, only Ji Daoxin remained standing upright in the arena, while everyone else was bent over or kneeling on one knee.

Ji Daoxin at Ji Yun'ge for a long while before letting out a soft sigh and saying:

"In these final moments, do whatever you want; there's no need for these formalities."

Ji Yun'ge's eyes narrowed slightly, and she nodded, saying, "Thank you Family Head."

Their conversation fell like a thunderclap in the otherwise silent room!

Ji Tianchao and his brothers, who were standing beside Ji Yun'ge, were suddenly jolted and stared at their Family Head in shock.

"Family Head, what did you say...?"

Upon seeing Ji Daoxin shake his head slightly, Ji Tianchao's heart skipped a beat, and he turned to look at Ji Yun'ge:

"Third Brother, what do you mean by 'final moments'? You've been here all along since you came back."

Ji Yun'ge sighed inwardly. There was no way to hide it now, so he revealed his Love Dao.

When they heard Ji Yun'ge say that she was deeply corrupted by the Mo River and would soon dissipate, everyone was shocked. Many of those who had been crying tears of joy earlier now covered their faces and wept.

"No, that's impossible!"

Ji Tianchao roared, trembling all over, unable to accept this.

Having just reunited, they must part again, and this time it will be a final farewell?

Only then did he suddenly remember Ji Yun'ge's words, which asked them to take care of the child.

Why not take care of yourself?

So it was going to disappear completely!

Realizing what had happened, Ji Tianchao's eyes immediately reddened, his face filled with grief. He said, "Third Brother, why, why did this happen?"

Ji Yun'ge sighed inwardly and gently patted his shoulder, "Tianchao, from now on, while I'm away, you must assist the Family Head well in guarding the Ji Family, and don't be as reckless as I was."

"But Third Brother, you've always been calm and collected; I'm the impulsive one..."

Ji Tianchao's voice was slightly choked.

Ji Yun'ge smiled and said, "We're all getting old, why are we still crying all the time?"

As he spoke, he patted the other man on the shoulder again, indicating that they should pay attention to their image. How could the two dignified Ji Family War God be so mournful?

Turning to look at the Family Head Ji Daoxin, Ji Yun'ge immediately recounted Li Hao's situation.

Ji Daoxin looked slightly surprised, but when he saw Ji Yun'ge's solemn eyes, he knew that this was her dying plea.

He sighed inwardly and nodded slightly, "I will consider this matter. If that child is truly as outstanding as you say, he can certainly become the Ji Family Prodigy. But if his strength is insufficient... I can only spare his life at most."

Seeing the Family Head make such a promise in person, Ji Yun'ge knew that this was the greatest concession he could make, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, Family Head."

Ji Yun'ge bowed.

"In these final moments, you're actually pleading for a child? Don't you have any other hopes?"

Ji Daoxin said, "You died in battle, rendering great service to the Ji Family. What do you want? Just tell me."

Ji Yun'ge smiled and said, "The Family Head should have already granted me what I wanted. These children are all doing well, so I'm at ease."

Seeing this, Ji Daoxin gave him a deep look and said, "Go, offer incense to our ancestors, and do whatever you wish."

Ji Yun'ge, then bowed again as a gesture of gratitude to the uncle.

Then, he glanced at his brothers, seeing their sorrowful expressions, smiled, and said:

"I rarely come back, don't look so sad. It's not worth shedding tears for me twice..."

"Third Brother!"

Upon hearing this, the group felt even more heartbroken.

His son stepped forward, choking back tears, and said:

"Dad, you will always be my pride. Mother has cried for you day and night, and has shed tears more than once!"

Ji Yun'ge's heart trembled slightly as he looked at his wife, his eyes brimming with tears. Although she didn't say anything, he knew that he had hurt her deeply once again.

He suddenly felt a pang of sadness, as if something was tearing him apart. He wanted to put on a carefree smile, but he couldn't manage it.

Finally, he turned away from everyone and whispered, "I'll go talk to the Thirteenth Child for a bit."

As he spoke, he walked into the Ancestral Shrine.

As news of Ji Yun'ge's return spread, more and more people gathered on the summit of Saint Mountain.

Soon, they learned that although Ji Yun'ge had returned, she would not be able to return to the Ancestral Shrine and would soon disappear.

Moreover, this Ji Family War God, whose soul was trapped in the Mo River, was returned by a young man.

Ji Yun'ge's high praise for Li Hao spread throughout the Ji Family, and everyone knew that the young man was an unparalleled Heavenly Prodigy.

Before long, a group of young figures flew down the mountain, swooping down the snow-white steps to the huge mountain gate.

Soon, they saw a boy standing on the grass outside the mountain gate, seemingly taking a stroll, looking around.

"Hello!"

One of the richly dressed youths shouted at Li Hao, "You're the one who brought back Yun Ge War God, aren't you? What are you looking around for?"

Upon hearing this, Li Hao slowly turned his head, intending to say that his name was neither "Hey" nor "Chu Yuxun".

But seeing the other person's cold eyes, he lost the will to say anything more and did not respond.

At this moment, more figures rushed over from behind, including a middle-aged man. He saw the young man being surrounded and scrutinized by many of the younger generation of the Ji Family outside the mountain gate, and quickly went Past.

"Have you been waiting long? I was ordered to come and take you up the mountain."

The middle-aged man smiled warmly when he saw Li Hao; he was sent by Ji Yun'ge's sixth brother to meet Li Hao.

"Fine."

Seeing that the other party was polite, Li Hao smiled and responded in kind.

Although the wait was a bit long, he didn't find it boring. Instead, he used the time to carefully examine the Sacred Land of the Ji Family.

Every blade of grass and every tree here—this is where that mother once lived...

He found it very novel.

"You can just call me Ji Boduan. What's your name?" Ji Boduan asked.

Li Hao was about to speak when he suddenly Pause. He wanted to mention Ji Hao, but then he remembered that the younger generation around him seemed to be somewhat hostile towards him. Since he was new here and hadn't figured out the situation yet, it was best to keep some information to himself.

He thought of another name, the name the woman had prepared for him but never used.

Just call me Ji Le Ping.

Li Hao said.
