Big Bodhi

Ji Quexue had only ignited her Heart Fire a few days ago, and she had almost no experience fighting against anyone. Now, seeing the Third Elder attacking her with absolute power, she couldn’t help but panic; her turned incoherent and chaotic. She was at a loss to her next move.

<em class="chakra-text css-0">Boom!

A weak and frail figure stood in front of Ji Quexue, and directly confronted the palm strike of the Third Elder, which contained Profound energy. The figure flew away like a broken doll.

"Mother!" Ji Quexue came back to her senses, she looked back at the petite figure that flew out, and her mind was in a state of utter confusion.

The Third Elder sneered and wanted to attack Ji Quexue again, but suddenly the imposing power aura of the initial stage of True Dao Realm flew out, suppressing the Third Elder.

Surprisingly, Ji Hong, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground adjusting his breath, stood up and looked at the Third Elder with killing intent in his eyes!

Under the imposing power of the True Dao Realm powerhouse, the Third Elder’s scalp became numb, his complexion changed greatly, and he quickly retreated backwards.

Ji Hong's body was surrounded by a profound aura, and he covered several meters in one step. He said coldly, "Ji Luoyang, you are courting death!"

On the other side, Ji Quexue walked towards Xu Lian'er's body which was gradually losing temperature. Looking down at the woman whose life force was rapidly exhausting away, she yelled desperately, "Mother, wake up, Mother, I shouldn't have said those words to spite you! Mother! Mother, look at me!"

She shook Xu Lian'er's broken body frantically, and tears rolled down her eyes like beads with a broken thread. Many people from the Ji family saw this tearful scene, and their eyes were more or less overwhelmed with myriad of emotions.

The Third Elder, Ji Luoyang, felt uncomfortable looking at the scene. Under Ji Hong's violent attack, he dodged left and right, appearing like he was suffering a lot.

If it wasn't for Ji Hong who was seriously injured by Ji Luoyan's sword attack during his previous confrontation, Ji Luoyang would have already died under his hands a long time ago.

After weighing the pros and cons, Ji Luoyang had no choice but to retreat.

Ji Hong's eyes were blood-red with anger, he stared at Ji Luoyang, and growled, "I only realized it a few breaths ago that Lian'er and Quexue are the most important people to me. They stood up for me in such a difficult time! And you... I'm going to tear you to pieces!"

After the words fell, Ji Hong gathered all his Profound energy in his right palm, and slashed at the Third Elder, Ji Luoyang!

<em class="chakra-text css-0">Boom!

Although Ji Luoyang was extremely frightened, he still stood there without budging.

The blazing white sword light rose up and slashed its way through dozens of feet, directly blasting Ji Hong away, midair.

Ji Hong spewed out a mouthful of blood, fell to the ground, crouching, barely raising his head to look at the handsome young man in the snow-white robe, and roared resentfully, "Ji Yuenian!!!"

Ji Yuenian carried the wooden sword behind him, he did not look at Ji Hong, but commanded Ji Luoyang, "Ji Hong wanted to split my soul and take my Heart Fire. Although the sin he bears is unbearably heavy, but after all he's my father, drag him into the Hall of Imprisonment for the time being and imprison him."

Outside the Hall of Tranquility, thousands of people stood silent.

"This... Ji Luoyang obeys your orders, master!"

Ji Luoyang was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he realized that he had escaped death. Overjoyed in his heart, he quickly thumped and knelt on the ground, looking extremely humble.

At this point, the only remaining of the six Elders of the Ji Family Elders' Association was the Third Elder, Ji Luoyang, who was in the initial stage of the Profound Realm.

"Ji Yuenian, you have to die! You pretended to have forgotten everything, and acted like a cripple who could not cultivate. What's wrong with me taking your Heart Fire to enhance the Ji family's heritage!" Ji Hong seemed like he wanted to pierce Ji Yuenian with a thousand swords. "You disregard human relations, how dare you treat me like this!"

Ji Luoyang secretly glanced at Ji Yuenian's expression, thought for a moment, and walked forward quickly with several Ji family guards, dragging Ji Hong down.

"Ji Yuenian, you killed my mother!"

The voice of resentment drifted over, and Ji Quexue's pale face was full of tears as she desperately rushed over with a long sword.

Ji Yuenian frowned slightly, flicking the sleeves of his snow-white Daoist robe, and several streaks of the azure, Profound energy swept out, directly blasting the girl's thin body into the depths of Hall of Tranquility.

"Drag this girl and imprison her."

"Yes, Lord Patriarch!"

Xu Jianghe hurried forward and walked towards the depths of the Hall of Tranquility with a dozen guards.

Ji Yuenian looked at the densely packed Ji family in Anyang City and said, "Ji Luoyan planned to harm me, and Ji Hong wanted to take my Heart Fire, and kill me. Both of have committed heinous crimes. Does anybody have disputes?”

"We are convinced."

No matter what they thought in their hearts, the thousands of Ji family members at this time all agreed in unison, and no one dared to express the slightest objection.

Only Ji Baiyu of the second house, Ji Liuguang of the third house, and the others appeared pale, praying in their hearts that Ji Yuenian would not pay attention to them.

Ji Bugui was attacked by Ji Hong earlier, but now that he had barely recovered some vitality, he staggered forward. He said respectfully, “Lord Patriarch, how should we deal with the descendants from the second house? How should we deal with Ji Luoyan’s descendants?”

As soon as these words came out, Ji Liuguang breathed a sigh of relief, but Ji Baiyu and the rest of the second house's faces changed drastically, looking at Ji Bugui with resentment, and they wished nothing more than to rush out and sew his mouth.

Ji Yuenian glanced at the people in the second house at will, and waved his hand lightly, "I will go to Heyun Temple at the dawn, and you can do whatever you want with the Ji family."

Sixteen years ago, Zhao Yinyue died reaching the end of her life. Ji Yuenian was extremely lonely since he was born. Although Ji Hong took him seriously on the surface, Ji Yuenian was clearly aware of Ji Hong's cruel and ruthless nature.

Even if the resources of the Ji family he was allotted were clearly skewed. It was only because of his for the Grade 6 Heart Fire sequence.

Moreover, the most important thing was that Ji Yuenian's heart still held a hint of suspicion. The fact that Zhao Yinyue died at the age of only 16 might have some kind of unknown connection with Ji Hong, but he had not found a clue yet.

Ji Bugui was at a loss, and shook his head again and again, "Lord Patriarch, what virtues and abilities do I have, and how dare I be so arrogant?"

Ji Yue smiled slightly, turned his head and said to the people of the Ji family in Anyang, "From now on, Ji Bugui is the head of the Ji family in Anyang, and the Third Elder, Ji Luoyang, will be the Grand Elder of the Ji family. Do you have any objections?"

The Ji family couldn't survive without an Elder at True Dao Realm. Several Elders had died. The only one left in the Ji family with Heart Fire was Ji Luoyang, which was also the reason Ji Yuenian spared his life.

"This... Ji Bugui is the son of the concubine of the fourth house, how can he take charge of the Ji family at such a juncture?"

"My lord, are certain of the decision?"

"I also ask the head of the family to rethink your decision!"

Sensing that Ji Yuenian was about to leave, several senior members of the Ji family with great experience all rolled their eyes and had a few complex train of thoughts go through their minds.
