How Dare You Show Such Disrespect?
He couldn't dodge that shot!
"Can this young man withstand a direct attack from the Ming Que's Pride?"
Seeing that terrifying Spear Light, the onlookers were all terrified. This was an attack from the Dao Heart Realm, and there was no way to avoid it.
Only Supreme Movement Technique at certain Unique Skill Realm could temporarily render the Dao Resonance untraceable.
But how old is this boy? He hasn't even spent enough time on cultivation. How could he possibly master it?
Bang!
The Destructive Spear Light arrived in an instant, replacing the air in front of Li Hao, and struck him down in a flash.
A destructive arc of electricity, like lightning, surrounded the Spear Light, lifting the floor beneath Li Hao's feet. Sha Qi of black, spiraling malevolent energy emanated from it, its power terrifying.
Li Hao did not dodge, but simply raised his hand and threw a punch.
The Spear Light struck the fist, creating a blinding aurora that was impossible to see. But the destructive force dissipated immediately, and Li Hao Unharmed.
Ji Mingque's expression changed instantly, and he looked at Li Hao with some surprise and doubt.
Although he didn't use his full strength in that shot, it still had seven or eight tenths of its power, easily piercing through the Three Immortalities Realm expert. Yet, Li Hao blocked it?
The other onlookers were also astonished by the sight.
"That young man actually managed to catch a spear thrust from Ming Que's Pride!"
"Could he have also reached the Four Establishments Realm? He doesn't look that young, but he's a true Heavenly Prodigy!"
"No wonder he received such high praise from Yun Ge War God, he must be really amazing."
"After all, he has the Bloodline of the Ji Family. His mother is a direct descendant, and the Bloodline within him is so strong that it might even be stronger than that of those born out of wedlock!"
Many people started discussing it in surprise, but their tone changed from disdain to some degree of approval of the young man.
Although the Ji Family has a serious conflict Legitimate and Illegitimate Lines, they are uniformly tolerant of the strong. The harsh living environment of the Great Wasteland Heaven has also led the people here to respect the strong.
The power Li Hao displayed silenced many who had previously insulted and belittled him, realizing that regardless of whether this young man could join the Ji Family, he was already a Heavenly Prodigy!
In the Great Wasteland Heaven, the Heavenly Prodigy must not be insulted!
"It seems you do have some skill. Considering you brought Yun Ge War God back, I'll let it go!"
Ji Mingque realized that Li Hao was indeed skilled, so he immediately snorted and decided to back down.
"If you can catch one of my punches, I'll acknowledge you."
Li Hao took half a step forward.
Ji Mingque was taken aback, his face immediately darkening. He said, "You want to challenge me?"
"One shot for one punch, that's what evens out," Li Hao said calmly.
Ji Mingque couldn't help but laugh in anger, saying, "You don't actually think you're qualified to fight me, do you? I was just holding back, I didn't use my full strength. If we were really fighting, you'd be lying on the ground by now!"
"I will show mercy," Li Hao said without arguing.
Ji Mingque's eyes widened in anger, realizing for the first time that there was someone even more arrogant than himself.
"Then you should give it a try!"
He exuded a powerful aura, his Great Meridian were activated, and his hair flew wildly, clearly indicating that he was truly enraged.
Just as Li Hao was about to make a move, a group of figures suddenly rushed over from afar, one of them shouting, "Stop!"
The crowd in the street Square outside the palace all looked over, and when they saw the figure at the head of the group, they were all greatly surprised. Many people immediately knelt down to worship.
"Greetings, War God Qing Yuan!"
"Greetings, War God Qing Yuan!"
The gradually increasing rhythm of voices rang out, and everyone bowed their heads.
When Ji Mingque and the others in mid-air saw Ji Qingyuan and the group of elders arrive, their expressions changed slightly, they stopped what they were doing, and quickly bowed in respect.
Ji Qingyuan remained calm. Although he was born out of wedlock, the Ji Family, regardless of whether he Legitimate and Illegitimate Lines, treated him with the utmost respect. On this Saint Mountain, most of the people bowing their heads were direct descendants of the Ji Family, yet they regarded him as Deity and submitted to him at their feet.
He had already adapted.
Previously, his secret rivalry with Ji Daoxin was merely for the interests of other illegitimate children.
After all, he is now considered the leading figure among those born out of wedlock, so he naturally shoulders some responsibilities.
Upon seeing the broken gate of the Guest Welcoming Hall and the scene inside, Ji Qingyuan immediately understood the situation. When he saw Ji Yufen kneeling at the feet of the unfamiliar young man, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
What happened?
An elder stepped forward and angrily rebuked him.
His face Anger, but he was pointing it at Li Hao, as if questioning him.
Ji Mingque and the others lowered their heads and did not answer. Ji Boduan, realizing what was happening, hurriedly went to greet them.
"Qing Feng Elder, it's all a misunderstanding. Yu Heavenly Prodigy came here to learn from Young Master Le Ping and simply to Sparring."
"What young master? He's not even a Ji Family yet!"
The elder immediately reprimanded him.
Ji Boduan's expression changed slightly, and he quickly shut his mouth.
"Qingfeng, don't forget what your father's name is!"
In the distance, several figures chased after them. Among them, an elderly Old Woman quickly appeared above the Guest Welcoming Hall, her position subtly shielding Li Hao from view.
"This is the Guest Welcoming Hall! You are being incredibly insolent! What kind of etiquette is this, to Sparring in the Guest Welcoming Hall? Have you no manners whatsoever?!"
She glared hatefully at Ji Qingfeng, then turned her gaze to Ji Mingque and the other Heavenly Prodigy.
Upon seeing the Old Woman, Ji Mingque and the others' expressions changed slightly, and they quickly bowed in greeting.
Ji Qingfeng's face darkened as he said, "Fourth Aunt, since it's a rule, there shouldn't be any favoritism!"
"Who's taking sides? When has my Ji Family ever been so disrespectful as to lay a hand on someone in the Guest Welcoming Hall?" The Old Woman, named Ji Yunyue, was furious.
"It's already a miracle he wasn't killed; he's no longer Ji Family!"
Ji Qingfeng said in a cold voice.
You're a complete bastard!
Ji Yunyue roared in fury, "By all accounts, he's your cousin! Do you really intend to kill your own cousin with your own hands?!"
Ji Qingfeng said coldly, "Every family has its Family Law, and every clan has its Clan Rules. My father was fair and just, so naturally I will be the same. Anyone who makes a mistake will be dealt with accordingly, not just my cousin, but even my own son!"
"Whether he did something wrong or not, the Family Head has already dealt with it. It's none of your business!"
Ji Yunyue was furious. There were fifteen brothers and seven Sisters in their lineage, a total of twenty-two people of the "Yun" generation.
Aside from those who died in battle or died young, twelve remain, but they are divided into two factions and do not interact with each other.
The reason is that many years ago, the father doted on his ninth daughter Ji Tianchao, which aroused jealousy among some of his brothers Sisters, leading to rifts among the children.
After the father's death, this rift was fully exposed, and they quarreled and cut off all contact.
This is the unavoidable hidden wound in the inheritance of the Aristocratic Clan; it is countless and the reasons are endless.
"Snort!"
Ji Qingfeng sneered, his eyes revealing disgust.
More and more people gathered, led by Ji Yunyue and Ji Qingyuan, clearly divided into two factions.
Meanwhile, news from here reached a building somewhere atop the Saint Mountain.
On the beautiful and scenic back hill, a pastoral Small Courtyard lies in front.
Ji Yun'ge's figure grew increasingly faint, drifting aimlessly here.
He looked around at the fertile Farmland and wells, and gazed at the vegetable gardens on the hills, his eyes filled with sadness and heartache.
He paused briefly and said to Ji Tianchao and the others, "You can stay here. Let Xiao Mu keep me company during these last moments."
Ji Tianchao and the others looked at his almost transparent body with sorrowful eyes, trying hard to hold back their tears.
"Third Brother, I won't let any of those who attacked you get away with it!"
Ji Tianchao gritted his teeth and said.
Ji Yun'ge smiled slightly, took his wife's hand, and said, "Just don't forget what you promised me. The fortunes of the Ji Family have arrived, and we will surely rise to prominence in the Future!"
As he spoke, he smiled slightly at his wife, then said no more, took her hand, and accompanied her onto the grassy path.
"Father..."
Behind them, Ji Tianchao, along with his son and daughter-in-law, watched the two elderly figures disappear into the distance, their eyes filled with sorrow.
Ji Yunqing gritted her teeth slightly, glanced at the distance behind her, and her eyes revealed hatred:
"Third Brother is about to perish, and those guys won't even come to see him?!"
The Fourth Brother remained silent. He knew who his sixth brother was talking about. When their parents died, the brothers had already fallen apart.
Upon hearing Ji Yunqing's words, Ji Tianchao trembled slightly. He clenched his fists slightly but remained silent.
They stood quietly outside the Small Courtyard for a long time, until they heard Ji Ximu cry coming from inside. They all trembled and tears rolled down their cheeks.
They knew that Ji Yun'ge, the legendary war War God of the Ji Family, had left forever.
"Third Brother!!"
Ji Tianchao roared to the sky, his voice like the mournful cry of a wounded beast.
The Fourth Brother and Ji Yunqing simply clenched their fists, their shoulders trembling slightly, as they tried to control their emotions.
Meanwhile, Ji Yun'ge's children and others beside her burst into tears, sobbing uncontrollably.
At that moment, a figure flew over from afar; it was Ji Yunqing's daughter, Ji Qingmeng.
"Father."
Ji Qingmeng flew over and, seeing the grief on their faces, her expression changed slightly. Not seeing Ji Yun'ge, she immediately realized something.
Ji Yunqing didn't respond for a while. Only when Ji Qingmeng called again did she calm down and turn around, her eyes red, and ask, "What is it?"
"That young man defeated Ji Yufen at the foot of the mountain. Now Ji Qingyuan and Aunt Yun Yue are facing off there. News has also come from the Council Hall that the Family Head has agreed to let the child join the Ji Family, but his Sacred Bone must be tested to determine whether he is considered a direct descendant or a illegitimate child."
Ji Qingmeng regained her composure and quickly spoke.
Upon hearing this, Ji Yun'ge's children, daughters-in-law, and granddaughters were all stunned for a moment.
They all felt a great deal of goodwill and gratitude towards the child who brought their father's spirit back.
The fact that the opponent was able to defeat Ji Yufen shows that what Father said earlier was not an exaggeration at all.
"Ji Qingyuan!"
Ji Tianchao suddenly turned his head, staring at Ji Qingmeng like a wolf. His gaze, filled with sorrow and barely suppressed Anger, though not directed at Ji Qingmeng, made her heart clench.
"This was Third Brother's last wish. I want to see what they're up to!"
Ji Tianchao clenched his fist, suddenly took a step forward, and his figure disappeared in one step.
Ji Yunqing and the others, worried that Lao Jiu would act impulsively, changed their expressions slightly and quickly followed.
In the belly of the mountain.
Ji Yunyue and Ji Qingfeng were arguing about Clan Rules and Family Law, their words sharp and incisive. Ji Qingyuan, on the other hand, remained silent, standing there quietly like a mountain, making those around him feel as if they could hardly breathe.
Bang!
Suddenly, Ji Qingyuan's eyes flickered, and he immediately saw that the ground in the arena had suddenly caved in.
A figure seemed to break through the air, appearing at lightning speed and landing in the arena.
His feet didn't touch the ground, but the bricks and tiles on the ground cracked!
"Tianchao War God!"
Upon recognizing the figure, the crowd outside the arena were all taken aback, their expressions then changed slightly, and they hurriedly began to pay their respects.
This War God is from their direct lineage, which makes him even more awe-inspiring, admired, and loved.
"Ninth Uncle!"
Ji Qingfeng, who was arguing, saw who it was, his expression changed slightly, and his heart Forbidden Zone beat faster.
Although he knew from his father that his grandfather was extremely biased and fond of his Ninth Uncle, and he was influenced by his father and also felt dissatisfied with him, he still felt a sense of trepidation when the other man actually stood in front of him.
The pressure was incredibly strong!
"It's so lively!"
Ji Tianchao's gaze was icy as he surveyed the entire area, quickly noticing Li Hao Guest Welcoming Hall.
The moment his eyes met the boy's, he knew that the boy was the one who had brought his third brother back.
He noticed another young man fast asleep at Li Hao's feet and recognized him as Heavenly Prodigy the Ji Family's younger generation.
Ji Tianchao glanced at Ji Yunyue, nodded slightly to his fourth sister, and then turned his gaze to Ji Qingyuan.
Ji Qingyuan merely met his gaze indifferently, but their eyes seemed to subtly collide with countless undercurrents, sparking unseen flames.
Ji Tianchao's eyes were icy, but he didn't immediately erupt in anger. He waited until the entire room quieted down before taking a deep breath and saying in a chilling voice:
"My Ji Family is Ancient Sacred Clan, where martial prowess is revered!"
"Regardless of his background, this young man has done a great favor to our clan by returning the Yun Ge War God!"
"Who dares to act so presumptuously here?!"
These words resonated throughout the hall. Many people of lower cultivation levels felt their Qi and Blood surge, and their eardrums throbbed with pain.
Those who had taken to the air to watch the spectacle were also Divine Soul, and quickly withdrew their Divine Soul, no longer daring to take to the air.
This was the might of the Ji Family War God; tens of thousands of people in the streets Square were all silent and dared not utter a word.
Ji Qingfeng's expression changed slightly. He wanted to speak, but when he saw Ji Tianchao's cold gaze, he dared not utter a word.
He could argue with his aunt Ji Yunyue, but he was genuinely afraid of his Ninth Uncle.
"Are you the ones who dare to be so insolent here?!"
Ji Tianchao looked at Ji Mingque and the other Heavenly Prodigy.
Ji Mingque and the other Heavenly Prodigy' expressions changed drastically. They wanted to speak in their defense, but Ji Tianchao's next sentence silenced them:
"Bring your parents to see me!"
"Speak of Family Law rules, speak of Clan Rules! Today I will uphold Clan Rules! To start a fight in the Guest Welcoming Hall —has the entire Ji Family's etiquette been thrown into chaos?!"
Ji Tianchao roared, and everyone was terrified.
This Tianchao War God is not like Ji Qingyuan. He has been War God for many years and has fought alongside Yun Ge War God, accumulating immense prestige.
Moreover, Innate Sacred Bone and has the potential to Sainthood-Seeking in the Future. Who knows, one day he might have one foot in the Sage Entry!
Ji Qingyuan frowned slightly and said, "Isn't it inappropriate for the Tianchao to reprimand our clan's Heavenly Prodigy on behalf of a foreign race?"
Ji Tianchao's eyes widened, his entire body radiating rage, like a Male Lion about to roar at any moment:
"You have a problem with that? Qing Yuan, as the War God, you're not taking charge here, but letting them run wild. What kind of behavior is this!"
He also publicly reprimanded Ji Qingyuan, showing no mercy whatsoever!
Ji Qingyuan's expression changed drastically. He was about to speak when Ji Tianchao interrupted him with Anger words:
"What foreigner? He also has the Bloodline my Ji Family!"
"He sent the Yun Ge War God, back to our clan, allowing his War God to return to its homeland and rest in peace. Who among you can claim such a feat?!"
His words were filled with Anger, as if he were about to erupt in fury at any moment.
These words caused a slight change in the expressions of everyone present, and they all fell silent.
"Ji Tianchao, these are two different things. We are naturally happy that Yun Ge War God has returned..."
Ji Qingyuan said.
But before he could finish speaking, Ji Tianchao interrupted him again, his hair flying with rage, and he roared:
"Happy? My third brother hasn't even left yet, and you're already making things difficult for the child who brought him back. Do you want him to leave with resentment?!"
Ji Tianchao grew increasingly Anger as he spoke, pointing angrily at Ji Qingyuan: "Back then, my third brother slew demons and eliminated monsters for the Ji Family, causing other Saint Clan to retreat and flee. Which of you didn't benefit from his Lower Vehicle and support?"
"Just because he sent my third brother back to the Ji Family, he deserves your homage. How dare you insult him like this?!"
"This isn't just insulting him, it's insulting my third brother, it's insulting the Ji Family War God whom you worship!!"
