[A 5600-character long chapter is presented.]
Ji Luoshan smiled faintly, "Of course. After all, I'm just a branch disciple and not part of the main family. How could he be willing to hand over the family business that he worked so hard for to me?"
Ji He said, "A gentleman dies for his bosom friend. If the family head can be fair to you and truly accept you in his heart, you will naturally pledge your loyalty to him. After all, everything we do has only one purpose, which is to strengthen the power of the Ji family. How could the family head not understand such a simple principle?"
Ji Luoshan said, "As the vice Lord Of The Palace, how could he not understand this principle? However, everyone is selfish. If it were you, would you be willing to hand over your things to an unrelated person?"
Ji He shook his head.
Ji Luoshan said, "That's right. It's understandable that he can do this. However, understanding is one thing. There are some things that we still have to do."
Ji He nodded and immediately said, "Brother Luoshan, no matter what, the family head is powerful. It's not a wise move to deal with him. Why don't we just kill the four women? As long as we kill them, won't everything be fine?"
Ji Luoshan waved his hand and said, "There's no hurry. There's still a thousand years before their wedding. After a thousand years, if I still can't pull him down from the family head's throne, it won't be too late to carry out the plan."
"Brother Luoshan, it's not that I don't believe you, but your cultivation is only in the False Saint Realm. I'm worried that you may not be able to break through to the Great Saint Realm in a thousand years."
Ji He was very worried. The fact that he dared to say such words was enough to prove that the relationship between the two was unusual.
"It's definitely impossible if I cultivate normally. However, as long as I enter the eight Divine Realms, there's nothing I can't do!"
Ji Luoshan said confidently, his eyes overflowing with light.
"Brother Luoshan also wants to go to the Divine Realm?"
Ji He was surprised.
"The Divine Realm is a holy land that countless people dream of. Of course I'm going. By the way, do you want to go? If you do, I can help you unconditionally." Ji Luoshan asked.
"Of course I want to go. However, with my cultivation, I'm afraid that I'll only be humiliated."
Ji He looked dejected. He had cultivated for more than three thousand years and had only barely reached the fifth tribulation. Compared to the countless geniuses in the Deity Realm, he was like an ant in front of an elephant.
Ji Luoshan shook his head and said, "Why do you need to care about what others think? As long as you work hard, it will be fine. Besides, don't you still have me? You're my cousin, so naturally, I won't allow anyone to ride on your head. "
"Brother Luo Shan, I …"
Ji He was extremely touched.
"Alright, enough with the mushy words. This matter is settled. Also, it's best if you don't mention these words in the future. The walls have ears," Ji Luoshan warned.
"Hmph!"
Ji He coldly snorted and sneered: "What's there to be afraid of? Although the six clan elders haven't said anything, as long as one is smart enough, they can see that they are already on your side. Those Ji Clan juniors can't wait to curry favor with you, so why would they inform you?"
Ji Luoshan said, "You're right, but there's nothing wrong with taking precautions. Alright, I'll leave Jiang Moshan to you for now. I'll go meet the six Elders. As long as they agree, Ji Wuhui can forget about stopping me from going to the eight Immortal realms."
"Yes."
Ji He nodded.
… …
"So the Ji Clan isn't peaceful either."
In the Star Realm, Wutian stood on the peak of the divine tree, looking at the scene in the void in front of him, his eyes flickering.
Previously, after leaving Ji Yue Tower, he didn't immediately leave. Instead, he entered the Star Realm to see what Jiang Moshan's purpose in coming to Xiyu City was. In the end, he didn't expect to see this scene and hear such words.
"Little Wutian, perhaps this is an opportunity for us."
Little Wu Hao floated beside Wutian and said thoughtfully.
"What do you mean?"
Wutian didn't understand.
Little Wu Hao said: "We'll send this scene to Ji Wuhui. Firstly, we can negotiate with him to rescue You Hanyun and the others. Secondly, we can trick Jiang Moshan."
After pondering for a while, Wutian nodded and said, "The suggestion is indeed good. Jiang Moshan has a deep grudge with us. If he successfully enters the eight Immortal Realms, with his talent, I believe that he will be an even greater threat to us. However, I'm worried that Ji Wuhui will let You Hanyun and the others off so easily. Moreover, I've changed my appearance and am not related to them. If I rashly raise this request, it will inevitably arouse Ji Wuhui's suspicion. "
Little Wu Hao smiled and said, "The reason is easy. Any excuse will do. As for whether Ji Wuhui will let them off or not, to be honest, even if he doesn't, it won't be a loss for us in our current situation. After all, it's already worth it to trick Jiang Moshan."
Wutian thought for a while and felt that it made sense.
If there wasn't such a matter, he could only snatch it from Ji Wuhui's hands. Now, he might have a chance.
"Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Alright, I'll go and meet Ji Wuhui head-on!"
Wutian clenched his fists, a sharp light shooting out of his eyes!
Today was different from the past. In the past, because of the Heaven Exterminating Battle Physique and the Star Realm, he had no choice but to be cautious.
But now, the Heaven Slaying Sword used great magic power to completely shield him from the Star Realm. Even Lu Lan and Cheng Yu couldn't see his essence.
Therefore, he wasn't afraid of meeting Ji Wuhui at all!
If Ji Wuhui made a move on him later, he could enter the Star Realm. At that time, Ji Wuhui could only watch helplessly!
Little Wu Hao controlled the Star Realm and descended into a remote alley. After Wutian walked out of the Star Realm, he went straight to the Ji Family's ancestral home.
Soon, he arrived at the Ji Family's door.
On both sides of the door, two burly men stood upright. Even though night had fallen and there were few people on the street, even though the Ji Family's reputation spread far and wide and no one dared to cause trouble, they still didn't relax in the slightest. Their bright eyes swept across the front.
When they saw Wutian walking towards them, the two burly men's expressions turned cold and immediately became vigilant.
One of them shouted, "Halt!"
Wutian stopped five steps away and cupped his hands, "Brothers, this one has an important matter to report to Lord Ji Wuhui. Please inform him."
"Looking for Lord Ji?"
The two men were stunned and puzzled, "Why are you looking for the Family Head?"
Wutian shook his head, "This matter is of great importance. Please forgive this one for not being able to tell you."
"Then I'm sorry. Please leave!"
When the two men heard this, they immediately ordered him to leave.
Wutian raised his eyebrows and endured the displeasure in his heart. He continued, "This matter is really very important. Can I ask the two brothers to make an exception and inform Lord Ji first? After this, this one will definitely not shortchange the two brothers."
When they heard that there were benefits, the two men's eyes lit up.
However, for some reason, after the two men looked at each other, they remained unmoved. They shook their heads and said, "The Ji Family has its own rules. If you don't state the reason, we will definitely not inform you."
The two men refused again and again. Wutian finally found some clues.
Who was Ji Wuhui?
He was the underground palace's vice Lord Of The Palace and the Family Head of the Ji Family!
And he had also declared that he had a very important matter to report to Ji Wuhui.
Logically speaking, the two men should have immediately gone to inform him, but now, they were obstructing him one after another.
Moreover, they insisted on knowing his purpose in finding Ji Wuhui.
What right did these two gatekeepers have to ask about Ji Wuhui's matters?
Thus, there was definitely something fishy about this.
A bright light flashed through his eyes. Wutian twisted his voice and transmitted it into the two men's ears, saying, "Brothers, to tell you the truth, I came to find Lord Ji this time because of Ji Luoshan."
"Young Lord Luoshan?"
The two men were stunned.
Then, the two men stared straight at Wutian. One of them asked, "What happened to Young Lord Luoshan?"
Wutian shook his head and said, "I really can't say."
The two men looked at each other and were silent for a while. The man who spoke earlier looked at Wutian and said, "Alright then, follow me. I'll bring you to see Lord Ji now."
"Many thanks, Brother."
Wutian cupped his hands.
Then, Wutian followed a man through the door. Although night had fallen, the place was still brightly lit as if it was daytime.
The man smiled and said, "Brother, it's your first time here, right?"
Wutian nodded.
The man chuckled and said, "I can tell from your expression. Right, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Ji Zhan. May I know your surname, Brother?"
Wutian smiled and said, "Li Buluan."
"Li Buluan? What kind of name is that? "
Ji Zhan muttered to himself. Then, he said in a low voice, "Brother Li, can you tell me in private what crime Brother Luoshan committed?"
"Crime?"
Wutian was a little stunned and asked in confusion, "Why do you say that, Brother Ji Zhan?"
Ji Zhan asked, "Didn't you say that you came to see Lord Ji about Young Master Luoshan?"
Wutian pretended to be innocent and said, "That's right, but I didn't say that your Young Master Luoshan committed a crime!"
"Haha, I see. It seems that I misunderstood."
Ji Zhan said with a silly smile, looking charmingly naive, but there was a flash of light in his eyes.
"Strange."
Wutian murmured.
From the beginning until now, he had been secretly paying attention to the changes in Ji Zhan's expression, including the man who stayed at the door.
Previously, when he said that the purpose of this trip was for Ji Luoshan, he clearly saw a trace of nervousness in the two men's expressions. Even after entering the Ji family, Ji Zhan's expression was still nervous.
However, at this moment, after he said that, it was as if a big stone in his heart had been lifted. The nervousness in Ji Zhan's expression disappeared.
This abnormality was really strange!
Could it be …
Suddenly, a thought flashed in Wutian's mind. He remembered the conversation between Ji He and Ji Luoshan.
Could it be that Ji Zhan and Ji He were Ji Luoshan's men?
"Interesting."
Thinking of this, the corner of Wutian's mouth slightly raised, with a playful smile.
After that, the two of them did not say a word and walked in silence.
Gradually, Wutian realized that something was wrong.
The direction that Ji Zhan brought him was not the center of the Ji family, but a secluded area in the north.
Wutian asked without batting an eyelid, "Brother Ji Zhan, although I have never been to the Ji family, I have heard that Lord Ji's residence is in the central palace, right?"
Ji Zhan chuckled and said, "Brother Li may not know, but the family head only goes to the central palace when discussing matters with the family elders. Normally, he stays alone in Ji Xuan's residence."
"Ji Xuan's residence?" Wutian was surprised.
Ji Zhan explained, "Ji Xuan's residence is in the most northern corner, secluded and elegant. Since the family head is a person who likes peace and quiet, Ji Xuan's residence has become the family head's special place for seclusion."
Wutian suddenly understood and did not say anything more, quietly following behind Ji Zhan.
In fact, he did not believe the burly man's words and was secretly on guard.
After a hundred breaths, Wutian arrived at the door of a side courtyard.
In the side courtyard, hundreds of flowers were in full bloom, the vegetation was verdant and lush. A cool breeze brushed against one's face, bringing a refreshing coolness. The bright moonlight sprinkled down, adding a sense of mystery to the side courtyard.
"The environment here is beautiful, quiet and elegant. It is indeed a good place to cultivate in seclusion."
Wutian mumbled.
"Dong dong!"
Ji Zhan reached out and lightly knocked on the tightly shut door.
"Who is it?"
Immediately, an aged and hoarse voice sounded out from the pavilion within the courtyard.
Wutian's pupils constricted.
He had seen Ji Wuhui and heard his voice before. He belonged to the type that was full of energy.
Therefore, he immediately determined that the person who spoke was not Ji Wuhui at all!
"Grand Elder, I, Ji Zhan, have brought Li Buluan."
Ji Zhan said respectfully.
The grand elder said, "Bring him in."
"It's actually the grand elder of the Ji family. It seems that my guess is correct."
Wutian was greatly alarmed and said angrily, "Ji Zhan, why are you doing this? I've already said very clearly just now that I'm here to see Lord Ji Wuhui, not the grand elder of the Ji family! "
"Haha, Brother Li, don't be anxious. Lord Ji will be here soon, and the grand elder knows that you've come and also wants to see you. Therefore, you might as well talk to the grand elder first."
Ji Zhan said with a smile. He seemed to be friendly and friendly, but Wutian caught a glimpse of killing intent in his eyes!
"I've really troubled Brother Ji Zhan."
Wutian put on a fake smile.
Ji Zhan waved his hand and said, "Brother, you're too polite. Since you've come to the Ji family, you're a friend of the Ji family …"
Before he finished speaking, Wutian sneered and said, "Can't you tell that I'm mocking you?"
Then, he used teleportation and broke through the air.
"Young friend, everyone who comes is a guest. If you just leave like this, others will think that the Ji family has no etiquette and is not a good host!"
But at this moment, the grand elder's calm voice sounded, and a terrifying pressure emerged and pressed toward Wutian.
Immediately, Wutian opened his Heaven Meridian!
But for some reason, he suddenly closed his Heaven Meridian and was imprisoned in midair by the pressure.
Then, Wutian was forcibly taken into an unfamiliar room.
Wutian's expression was slightly flustered as he looked around.
In the room, there was a jade tea table. It was bright and clean, shining with a sparkling luster. On top of it, there was a teapot bubbling, and the fragrance of tea seeped into the heart.
On the four sides of the tea table, there were eight exquisite chairs neatly arranged. And on the chair directly opposite him, there was a white-haired old man in white who was looking at him with a strange expression.
Wutian's expression was slightly frightened. He cupped his hands and said, "Greetings, grand elder."
After looking at Wutian for a while, the grand elder retracted his gaze and laughed, "Don't be afraid, this old man won't hurt you."
"Really?"
Wutian questioned.
The grand elder smiled kindly and said, "This old man is the grand elder of the Ji family. My words carry enormous weight. How can it be false?"
"Hu!"
Wutian pretended to exhale, and the fear on his face gradually disappeared.
The grand elder continued, "Although this old man won't hurt you, this old man hopes that you can cooperate with this old man. Otherwise, this old man won't mind taking your little life."
Wutian cupped his hands and said, "As long as the grand elder doesn't kill this junior, this junior will tell you everything he knows."
"You are very tactful. Tactful people can naturally live longer."
The grand elder laughed, his tone carrying a trace of contempt. He asked, "Speak, why have you come to find the family head?"
Wutian glanced at the room and muttered in his heart, "This place is definitely not Ji Wuhui's residence as Ji Zhan said. The real owner must be the grand elder, but why haven't I seen Ji Luoshan? Before leaving Ji Yue Tower, I clearly heard Ji Luoshan say to Ji He that he wanted to meet the six grand elders. "
After pondering for a while, Wutian chose to answer truthfully just in case.
"This junior accidentally overheard the conversation between Ji Luoshan and Ji He. They wanted to harm Lord Ji, so this junior was blinded by greed and wanted to report Ji Luoshan in front of Lord Ji."
After saying this, Wutian secretly paid attention to the grand elder's expression.
He saw that the grand elder was not surprised at all. From this, it could be seen that he had tacitly approved of Ji Luoshan's rebellious actions.
In other words, Ji Luoshan's backer, Ji Luoshan's backer, was the grand elder!
"I see."
The grand elder suddenly understood. He brewed a cup of tea and slowly drank it. Only then did he playfully ask, "Do you know the relationship between Luoshan and this old man?"
"This junior has just arrived, so I don't know."
Wutian shook his head.
The grand elder smiled and said, "Luoshan is my grandson, and he is my biological grandson."
Wutian's gaze focused.
Hearing this, Zhang Xuan finally had an answer to all of his questions.
"Haha, when we were in the Ji Moon Tower, I thought you were just a clown. I didn't expect that I would actually misjudge you. Turns out, you are actually an amazing person."
At this moment, a light laughter sounded. The door was pushed open, and a well-dressed youth and five white-clothed elders entered.
The one who spoke was the well-dressed youth.
If he was not Ji Luoshan, who else could he be?
As for the other five, there was no need to guess. They were the other five grand elders of the Ji Clan.
Wutian secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, he had been careful and told the truth. Otherwise, he would have been exposed.
Ji Luoshan and the five grand elders sat down one after another, then looked at Wutian with interest, a trace of playfulness on their lips.
The grand elder drank a cup of fragrant tea and raised his head to look at Wutian. He said with a smile, "You are very honest, but if I let you go like this, it is hard to guarantee that you won't go find Ji Wuhui and inform him, or spread the news outside. Therefore, I can only kill you. I believe that you can understand this old man's difficulties."
"Haha, so the grand elder of the Ji Clan is nothing more than this."
Wutian sneered.
Hearing this, the five grand elders and Ji Luoshan's eyes flashed with a strong murderous intent.
The grand elder laughed and said, "You actually dare to be so arrogant in front of this old man. I didn't think that you would have some guts!"
Wutian said, "Since the grand elder insists on killing me, it seems that I will not be able to escape today. Since that is the case, can you let me die knowing the truth?"
"What do you want to know?"
The grand elder said indifferently, not in a hurry to silence him.
The five grand elders were also indifferent.
Because they were confident that even if Ji Wuhui came personally, he might not be able to escape from their hands.
Of course, in terms of individual battle strength, they admitted that they were not a match for Ji Wuhui. But if they were to join forces, even Ji Wuhui would have to think twice before making a move.
Wutian asked, "I want to know, Ji Luoshan plotting to kill Ji Wuhui and usurp the position of the clan head, was it your idea?"
"Yes."
The grand elder nodded straightforwardly and admitted, "Although Ji Wuhui's strength is not bad and his backing is very strong, he lacks courage. In addition, he is too selfish. It is impossible for him to make the Ji Clan truly strong. Therefore, the Ji Clan needs to change the leader."
Wutian was secretly shocked. He didn't expect the grand elder's ambition to be so big. Dominating Xiyu City was not enough, he wanted to ascend to a bigger stage.
Then, he glanced at Ji Luoshan and asked doubtfully, "Do you think Ji Luoshan has such courage? Furthermore, Ji Wuhui's foster father is God Cheng Yu. Aren't you afraid that Ji Wuhui will ask God Cheng Yu for help? "
"Of course. Luoshan's current strength is not comparable to Ji Wuhui, but with his talent, surpassing Ji Wuhui is only a matter of time. As for God Cheng Yu, hehe, as long as we do it secretly, he won't be able to do anything to us. Perhaps, because of Ji Wuhui's death, he might even take care of us more than before and give us a great fortune!"
The grand elder chuckled.
"Grand elder is truly scheming. Junior is impressed."
Wutian gave a thumbs up while secretly transmitting his voice, "Little Wu Hao, did you record it?"
"Don't worry, I didn't leave out a single word."
Little Wu Hao laughed sinisterly.
