Ji Family Changed Hands
Upon seeing the three Holy Kings emerge from the Small Mountain Village, the Ji family members were overjoyed and hurriedly went to greet them.
"Three Holy Kings, you have finally returned..."
Ji Tianhao was overjoyed and said:
"Three Holy Kings, have you found the ancestral artifact?"
Ji Tianpan and the others were also looking forward to it with great solemnity, after all, it was a treasure that concerned the honor and disgrace of the Ji family.
Upon hearing this, the Grand Heaven Saint King nodded and said:
"Found it."
Upon hearing this, everyone was overjoyed.
"We've really found our clan's treasure? That's wonderful, wonderful!"
"Our clan is destined for great prosperity; Heaven has blessed us!"
"If we can find that ancestral artifact, we may have the chance to have a Saint Emperor rise again, and our Ji family will once again enjoy its former glory!"
Everyone started discussing it excitedly.
Ji Tianhao was overjoyed and burst into laughter. He said:
"Three Holy Kings, the evidence is now irrefutable. Ji Tianjing stole the Ji Family Ancestral Item, and his descendants concealed it. According to the clan rules, we request that the three Holy Kings uphold justice and remove Ji Tianjing from the Ji Lineage genealogy. His descendants shall be forever barred from the Ji family, and all those involved in this matter shall be exterminated!"
As he spoke, he glanced smugly at Ji Tianpan, and even said, seemingly unintentionally:
"Furthermore, Tianhao suggests that we should thoroughly investigate who colluded with him back then, and dig them all out to settle scores!"
He felt that everything was stable.
This time, he had rendered a great service to the Lineage, and he had also captured the lifeline of Ba Ji Tianpan and others.
The once radiant Ji Tianjing, whom he could only look up to, would today be nailed to the pillar of shame of the Ji family.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, the expressions of Grand Gang Saint King and the others changed!
"Shut up!"
The Grand Heaven Saint King hurriedly rebuked him!
The Grand Gang Saint King angrily exclaimed:
"Ji Tianhao, do you want to die?!"
Ji Tianhao's words sent a chill down their spines.
Damn it, even at this point, they're still holding Ji Tianjing accountable? They even want to expel his descendants from the Ji family and wipe them all out??
Is this guy trying to die?!
Now they all understand that Ji Tianjing is Dao Body the Ancestor Emperor Ji Xuanyuan rushing towards the future!
And Ji Yuanqing and the others are not only direct descendants of Ji Tianjing... but now they are also receiving the care of that senior in the Small Courtyard!
Disrespecting them? This is tantamount to wanting the entire Ji family destroyed!
Everyone was stunned by what they saw.
What's wrong with these two holy kings?
Ji Tianhao was also taken aback, and said:
"Two Holy Kings, I... I have no selfish motives whatsoever; it's all for the good of the Lineage..."
The Grand Heaven Saint King could no longer contain himself and directly rebuked:
"Shut up!"
He said coldly:
"For your own selfish gain, you arbitrarily sent people to attack meritorious officials, and nearly brought your Lineage to the brink of annihilation!"
"From this day forward, your position as head of the family is hereby revoked!"
Upon hearing this, Ji Tianhao felt as if he had been struck by lightning!
He was deeply shaken...
What?
He abolished his position as head of the family...
How could this be?
At that moment, he panicked, completely panicked!
What exactly happened in that Small Mountain Village? Why did Tai Tian and Tai Gang, who had initially supported the Holy King, drastically change their attitudes?
"Two Holy Kings, I... I was wrong!"
He hurriedly knelt down, drenched in cold sweat, and said, "But I... I did everything for the Lineage..."
The Grand Gang Saint King glanced at him coldly and said:
"You have committed an unforgivable crime, deserving of ten thousand deaths!"
Then, the Grand Gang Saint King looked at Tai Xuan and said:
"Brother Taixuan, according to clan rules, please take action and cripple all his cultivation, what do you say?"
The Ji family members were all visibly shocked.
They're really going to cripple Ji Tianhao?
What exactly happened...?
"Unbelievable, what on earth happened in this Small Mountain Village...?"
"The two Holy Kings' attitudes have completely changed..."
"It's not because Ji Tianhao disobeyed the decree of the Grand Profound Saint King and secretly sent people to suppress Ji Tianjing's descendants... but because of the great calamity he brought to the Ji family!"
The crowd whispered and speculated.
They could all tell that the three holy kings had entered the Small Mountain Village... it seemed they had almost gotten into serious trouble.
What could possibly make them so resolute, so fearful and awe-inspiring, even to the point of wanting to cripple Ji Tianhao...? What secrets lie hidden in this mountain village?
Ji Tianhao knelt on the ground, his face deathly pale, his heart filled with despair!
Upon hearing this, Ji Taixuan nodded and immediately said:
"In that case, I will abolish his cultivation!"
However, as soon as he finished speaking...
Ji Tianhao, who was on the ground, suddenly vanished from his spot and reappeared a thousand meters away. He tore through the void with his large hand and was about to flee!
He didn't want to become a useless person!
His movements were incredibly fast, shattering the void as he stepped inside!
Once the Void Path is activated, even a Saint King would have to go through considerable trouble to track it down.
However, Ji Taixuan simply snorted coldly and raised his hand!
In an instant, a space-time confinement was almost entirely imprisoned, and all the void passages suddenly shattered!
"Ah--"
A shrill scream rang out, and Ji Tianhao fell directly out of the void.
He crashed heavily to the ground, coughing up blood. His eyes, filled with terror, stared at Ji Taixuan as he said:
"No... you... you... Great Sage!?"
Great Sage!
The many sage rulers and saints of the Ji family were even more shocked.
The Great Sage...
It should be understood that a person of this rank is... within the entire Ji family.
They're all gone!
The three Holy Kings represent the pinnacle of combat power!
Moreover, the lives of the three Holy Kings were nearing their end, meaning it was almost impossible for the Ji family to produce another Great Saint.
Yet today, having merely entered a Small Mountain Village, Ji Taixuan has already broken through to the Great Sage Realm?
This Small Mountain Village... it's terrifying!
They looked at Ji Taixuan, their eyes instantly filled with awe, and then they all knelt down!
"Greetings, Great Sage!"
"Greetings, Great Sage!"
They shouted in unison!
"Stubborn to the end!"
The Grand Profound Great Sage shook his head and immediately snapped his fingers.
"Ah--"
Ji Tianhao let out a miserable cry. At that moment, all his cultivation was wiped out, and he fainted.
Everyone wore complex expressions.
The Grand Profound Great Sage glanced at everyone and said:
"The three of us have determined that Ji Tianjing not only did not steal the clan's ancestral artifacts, but he also risked his life. It can be said that without him, the ancestral artifacts would never have appeared."
"His descendants are the direct descendants of the Ancestor Emperor; the ancestral property rightfully belongs to them!"
He didn't elaborate on the reason, because the secret of the Ancestor Emperor rushing into the future and seizing a lifetime's fortuitous opportunity was not to be easily revealed to others!
At this moment, the many holy rulers and sages of the Ji family were all shocked, but they dared not doubt it in the slightest.
Immediately afterwards, the Grand Profound Great Sage looked at Ji Yuanqing with utmost solemnity, cupped his hands in greeting, and said:
"We beseech the direct descendants of the Ji Ancestor to return to the Ji family and assume the position of family head!"
He was extremely sincere!
The Grand Heaven Saint King and the Grand Gang Saint King also bowed directly and said:
"We beseech the direct descendants of the Ji Ancestor to return to the Ji family and assume the position of family head!"
The three powerful figures simultaneously bowed in respect!
"You... you are a descendant of Tianjing?"
Ji Tianpan was also excited and said:
"We beseech the direct descendants of the Ji Ancestor to return to the Ji family and assume the position of family head!"
In an instant, the rest of the crowd also spoke in unison.
Ji Yuanqing was stunned...
His expression was incredibly complicated.
Before this, he had also hoped...
However, after what happened before, his heart had grown indifferent.
He immediately shook his head and said:
"I have made up my mind to lead our people to serve before the Lord of the Desolate Heavens."
"Thank you, venerable Old Ancestor, but I cannot return."
He addressed the Grand Profound Great Sage and the others.
The group all looked somewhat disappointed.
If it weren't for Ji Tianhao... how could Ji Yuanqing have rebelled against his clan?
"To be able to serve before the Lord of the Desolate Heavens is an unparalleled blessing."
The Grand Profound Great Sage Xuan spoke up, saying:
"In this way, you will be the Holy Lord of the Ji family, but you will not need to personally manage the affairs of the Ji family... You can choose someone you trust to take over the position of family head, how about that?"
There was a hint of earnestness in his eyes!
The Ji family members wore even more complicated expressions. A great sage of his generation... was now... somewhat humble?
What kind of terrifying being lies behind Ji Yuanqing?
Ji Yuanqing was also in a bit of a dilemma!
"Senior Ji,"
At this moment, Huo Ling'er suddenly spoke to Ji Yuanqing, saying:
"Senior Li first bestowed great fortuitous opportunity upon the Grand Profound Saint King and others, and then asked you to escort Senior Tai Xuan and the others out... Perhaps, this was precisely his intention!"
"Senior Li may have the intention to show mercy to the Ji family. Ling'er thinks you don't need to refuse!"
Upon hearing this, Ji Yuanqing was also taken aback.
So, Senior Li had such a profound reason for asking him to escort his clansmen out!
Thinking of this, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and say:
"Very well, since that's the case, Yuan Qing will respectfully comply."
"However, I have one request!"
Upon hearing this, the Grand Profound Great Sage and the others were overjoyed and immediately said:
"Your Holy Lord, please speak, and we will certainly obey!"
Ji Yuanqing said solemnly:
"The entire Ji family must obey the orders of the Desolate Heaven Alliance and serve the Lord of the Desolate Heavens!"
Upon hearing this Grand Profound Great Sage, the Grand Heaven Saint King, and others did not hesitate at all, immediately bowing and saying:
"We obey!"
They were even very excited!
If anyone dares to say that the Ji family should submit to someone, then Clan War will likely break out!
But to be able to work for the Lord of the Desolate Heavens? This is an incredible blessing!
I can't even get it if I beg!
"These two are none other than Huo Miss Ling'er, the leader of the Desolate Heaven Alliance, Mu Qianning!"
Ji Yuanqing then introduced Huo Ling'er and Mu Qianning.
"We pay our respects to the Alliance Leader!"
The Grand Profound Great Sage and others bowed directly in respect.
Huo Ling'er and Mu Qianning exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with complex emotions.
They never imagined that one day... the Ji family, an imperial clan, would actually become a member of the Desolate Heaven Alliance?
"This is perhaps what Senior Li would like to see as well."
Mu Qianning spoke.
Huo Ling'er also took a deep breath and said:
"From this day forward, the Ji family will be a member of the Desolate Heaven Alliance, serving together the Lord of the Desolate Heavens!"
And at this moment.
Inside a mysterious hall somewhere in the Immortal Realm.
The three Old Saint Kings of the Heavenly Human Clan were extremely solemn.
"Reporting to the three Holy Kings, the protective array here has been fully activated!"
A middle-aged man spoke solemnly.
This middle-aged man is none other than Tian Haochu, the Holy Lord of the Heavenly Human Clan!
After the three Holy Kings returned, they secretly summoned the strongest members of their clan.
At this moment, all the strongest individuals have dispersed to various locations to support the protective formation of this place.
"Very good!"
An Old Saint King spoke, saying:
"We will be casting Emperor bone for our Ancestor Emperor. This matter is a top secret and must never be known to the outside world!"
"Let's go, let's enter the top-secret hall!"
They simply vanished from the spot.
