Ji Tianxing had returned alive, and had even successfully obtained the azure crystal!
Ji Rufeng, Ji Changhe, and the others had been smug just now, saying that Ji Tianxing was dead for sure.
Now, the two of them and the rest of the Ji family felt as if they had been slapped in public. They were so embarrassed that they almost vomited blood.
However, Ji Tianxing had followed the family rules and successfully passed the test to obtain the Azure Crystal.
This left Ji Rufeng, Ji Changhe, and the rest speechless. They had suffered a crushing defeat!
No matter how unwilling they were, they had no choice but to accept this result and acknowledge Ji Tianxing as the Family Head!
Ji Tianxing glanced at Ji Rufeng and the rest mockingly before leaving the main hall with a cold smile.
He returned to the Breezy Courtyard and immediately entered the secret chamber to treat his injuries and restore his strength.
…
In the Celestial Forest Court, 3,000 meters away from the Ji Mansion.
It was still the same tall tower in the manor. At this moment, a young man and a young woman were standing at the top of the tower.
The young man in a long silver robe was Bai Wuchen. The young woman in a plain white dress with long hair was Yun Yao.
She stood proudly against the wind and looked into the distance. Her beautiful face revealed a look of astonishment.
"Just now, I sensed a trace of … a dragon's aura? A dragon's aura appeared? "
She had always been cold and aloof. It was rare for her to be so surprised.
Bai Wuchen frowned when he heard her murmuring. His expression was one of surprise.
"Dragon's aura? How could a dragon's aura appear in the Imperial City of the Green Cloud Imperial City? "
"Grand Senior Sister, could it be that you sensed wrongly?"
Yun Yao frowned. She was still focused on the dragon's aura, trying to find the source of the dragon's aura.
Unfortunately, the dragon's aura only appeared for a moment before it disappeared immediately.
When she heard Bai Wuchen's question, she shook her head gently and said firmly, "Junior Brother Bai, don't forget that I have the Celestial Spirit Sacred Constitution bloodline. I'm very sensitive to the aura of different races. I can't be wrong!"
"Although the dragon's aura only appeared for a moment before it disappeared, I really sensed the dragon's aura!"
When she mentioned the bloodline of the Celestial Spirit Sacred Constitution, Bai Wuchen stopped smiling and his face became serious.
"Since Grand Senior Sister's senses can't be wrong, then a dragon really did appear in the Imperial City of the Green Cloud Imperial City."
"But that's impossible! How could a dragon's aura appear in the small Imperial City of the Imperial City? "
"Isn't the dragon Clan residing in the Endless Eastern Sea? How could they cross hundreds of millions of miles and come to the Imperial City? "
Bai Wuchen was still in disbelief.
Yun Yao frowned and recalled for a moment. Then, she suddenly thought of something and her eyes flashed.
Of the spiritual Spiritual Constitution Spiritual spiritual spiritual Spiritual Spiritual spiritual Spiritual spiritual Constitution spiritual spiritual spiritual spiritual spiritual spiritual Spiritual Spiritual spiritual spiritual spiritual spiritual spiritual Spiritual spiritual spiritual spiritual spiritual its it the spiritual spiritual spiritual spiritual it.
Bai Wuchen nodded and said, "The Yong 'an Region's Shenhui Sect? I have also heard of this sect. It was once flourishing and controlled the entire Yong 'an Region. "
"A hundred years ago, after the Shenhui Sect went through a disaster, its strength declined a lot. However, the Shenhui Sect has recovered and is still one of the top three sects in the Yong 'an Region. "
"Yes, that's true." Yun Yao nodded slightly and continued, "A hundred years ago, when the Shen Hui Sect was in trouble, many masters and elders of the sect fled the sect. No one knows where they went."
"Along with those elders and experts, many rare spiritual beasts and a divine flood dragon also disappeared!"
"It's said that there's a young elder in the Divine Hui Sect who's good at refining artifacts. It was this person who took the divine dragon with him when he escaped from the Shenhui Sect! "
"That person took the divine flood dragon and left the Shenhui Sect, then disappeared. Later, the Shen Hui Sect sent people to search the entire Yong 'an Region, but they couldn't find it. "
"People from the Shenhui Sect even came to the Tianchen Region to search for it for many years, but they couldn't find anything in the end."
Bai Wuchen raised his eyebrows and his eyes sparkled. He asked tentatively, "Senior Sister, do you mean … the dragon breath you sensed just now has something to do with that?"
Yun Yao shook her head and said calmly, "I don't know if these two things are related."
"It's just that when I sensed the dragon breath just now, it reminded me of the past that Master told me."
After a moment of silence, she said again, "Junior Brother Bai, our sect's entrance competition is in three days. How's the preparation for it going?"
Bai Wuchen smiled and said, "Senior Sister, don't worry. The competition is ready. With Junior Brother Hao and the three deacons supervising it, there won't be any mistakes."
"But … there's something I need you to make a decision on."
Yun Yao looked straight ahead and asked calmly, "What is it?"
Bai Wuchen explained, "Among the young disciples who passed the entrance test last month, there was a girl named Ling Yunfei. She was ranked seventh in terms of talent and strength."
"But she was killed a few days ago. Now there's a vacancy for the entrance competition. How will you deal with it, Senior Sister?"
Yun Yao looked in the direction of the Ji Mansion. An imperceptible light flashed in her eyes.
After a moment of silence, she said indifferently, "Since there's a vacancy, we'll give those who didn't pass the entrance test a chance."
"Junior Brother Bai, you'll be in charge of setting up an Illusory Weapon Xuan Formation in the city square and announce it to the whole city."
"If a young warrior can pass this formation in three days, he or she will get the vacancy and participate in the entrance competition in three days."
Bai Wuchen was stunned. He didn't show it on his face, but he thought to himself, 'Why is Senior Sister doing this? Could it be that she has other intentions? '
But he didn't ask. He just nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, I'll do as Senior Sister says."
Then, Bai Wuchen bid farewell to Yun Yao and left the top of the pagoda.
Yun Yao was left standing alone at the top of the pagoda. Her eyes were deep in thought. Her figure was extremely slender under the light of the setting sun.
…
Late at night, the Ji Mansion was very quiet. Only a few courtyards were lit with lanterns.
Ji Tianxing healed himself in the secret chamber for six hours. When he was fully recovered, he walked out of the secret chamber.
He was about to call Huan 'er and ask her to bring some food from the kitchen.
At this moment, there was a slight sound of wind in the small courtyard outside the house.
Nine black figures cut through the night like ghosts and landed lightly in the courtyard.
These nine figures were all dressed in black, with masks on their faces and swords on their backs. All of them had extraordinary strength.
Eight of them stood in two rows in the courtyard. The leader walked to the door and reported in a low voice, "Young Master, Mu Shan requests to see you!"
Ji Tianxing had already sensed that someone had sneaked into the courtyard. He held the Black Dragon Sword in his hand and was on guard.
He thought that the other party was an assassin sent by Second Uncle Ji Rufeng to assassinate him.
After all, he had successfully passed through the forbidden area and obtained the blue crystal. He was now the rightful successor to the position of Patriarch.
Second Uncle Ji Rufeng had failed at the last step. It was very likely that he was planning to assassinate him.
However, when Ji Tianxing heard the voice outside the door, he immediately let down his guard and a smile appeared on his face.
He put away the Black Dragon Sword and said in a low voice, "Come in!"
The man in black named Mu Shan immediately opened the door and led the eight men in black into the room.
After entering the room, Mu Shan and the others walked to Ji Tianxing and knelt down on one knee.
"Mu Shan, the vice leader of the Shadow Sword Hall, greets the Young Master!"
