Big Bodhi

The mansion above the star abyss, the spiritual residence of Ji Yuenian.

"Senior Brother Ji’s Star Courtyard’s strength is really frightening," Chu Lingyue stood outside the courtyard, and looking up at the majestic and magnificent attic, he sighed. "Such a complex Qi gathering forbidden array, I’m afraid it also has the effect of transforming starlight. It’s really wonderful."

Zhao Xiaoyun and Zhao Yanran were amazed and clicked their tongues repeatedly.

Zhao Yanran took a step forward, put out her Outer Sect Order Talisman, and tried to send a message into the forbidden formation in the courtyard. As the mysterious light circulated, it was blocked by the light shield.

"I’ve already said that cousin should not be in Xingyuan Peak at this time, we would better wait a little longer," Zhao Xiaoyun shook his head, still feeling the faint light spreading out from the Star Courtyard, filled with heaven and earth Qi. "The courtyard where we live is really humble. Compared with my cousin’s, I’m afraid it’s no different from a beggar’s hut."

"The beggar’s hut is not bad. At least there’s still a large or small Qi Gathering forbidden array in it." Zhao Yanran gave him an annoyed look. "I went out to visit the lower region of the mountain peak a few days ago, and I saw the courtyards of handymen disciplines, and only then did I know what a real hut is."

Zhao Xiaoyun became interested at that moment, raised his eyebrows, and said, "I have been living in the middle courtyard of Cicada Peak, and I have never met a handyman disciple. Tell me about it in detail."

Zhao Yanran frowned slightly, and said slowly, "The courtyard of the handyman disciples not only doesn’t have a Qi gathering forbidden array, but it’s also extremely basic. Each person only has a stone room that can’t be considered spacious, and has nothing else."

On the other side, Chu Lingyue suddenly said, "The handyman disciples need to go out to work every day, planting spiritual fields and valleys, repairing the attics everywhere on the mountain, and serving as pill boys, medicine boys, etc, for some foreign sect disciples. They are all extremely hardworking, even so, after two months of busy work from morning to night, they only earn a single piece of primeval stones."

Zhao Xiaoyun was a little puzzled, and said, "Why do you know everything about the servants so clearly?"

Chu Lingyue’s expression turned a little gloomy, and she said in a low voice, "You should still remember Shen Ye from Taichu who was sent into the same mountain peak as me? He just arrived, and accidentally offended the deputy master in the peak, and was directly demoted to lower court as a handyman. It’s extremely difficult for him to have a chance to stand up again."

The Shen Family was a small family in the ancient city of Taichu. It never had a sense of existence among the powerful and cultivation families of the Zhao family and the Chu family. However, Shen Ye was a person who came from the ancient city of Taichu together with them, so Zhao Xiaoyun and Zhao Yanran were both a little embarrassed for him.

"Wasn’t Zhao Sixing’s lesson enough?" Zhao Yanran sighed. "This is the Luoxia Mountain Range. Although we have some status in the ancient city of Taichu, we can only keep our tails low and our heads bowed here."

While they were talking, a deafening sound reached their ears from afar.

Soon, the sound of buffeting wind echoed closer and closer.

"Could it be … cousin?" Zhao Xiaoyun raised his head and looked at the huge shadow that was gradually approaching, with an excited expression on his face.

Chu Lingyue and Zhao Yanraever opened their mouths; they both watched in shock as the huge Luan Bird slowly descended, casting a large shadow on the Star Courtyard.

Luan Bird gradually gathered her wings and landed on the side of Star Courtyard.

Another Blue-feathered Luan Bird followed closely behind and landed.

"Cousin!"

Zhao Xiaoyun raised his head, and yelled loudly towards the handsome young man in a dark black moon robes, "Cousin, something happened to Ji’s family!"

The light in Ji Yuenian’s eyes fluctuated slightly. Surrounded by the Yin energy of the world, he walked down from Luan Bird’s head, and said, "Speak."

Jiao Xiuyu, Xu Xiao, Lu Mingxi and the others jumped off the two Blue-feathered Luan Birds one after another, and looked at Zhao Xiaoyun and the others curiously.

Zhao Xiaoyun secretly looked around for a second, and found that almost all of these people were elite disciples of the Xuan Realm, with a strong and aggressive aura around them, especially Ji Yuenian as the leader.

He couldn’t help but admire Ji Yuenian even more in his heart. He soon calmed down, and said, "Reporting to my cousin, not long ago, Ji Hong and Ji Quexue, the previous heads of the Ji family, escaped from the Ji family’s dungeon and disappeared."

Ji Yuenian laughed a little, shook his head, and said, "Ji Quexue was pierced through the Jianggong point by Ji Bugui and others a long time ago, and her Heart Fire is no different from being completely extinguished. Now, she should be nothing more than an ordinary person. Why bother making such a fuss?"

"Cousin, Zhao Xiaoyun didn’t finish." Zhao Yanran glanced at Zhao Xiaoyun, took a step forward, and said softly, "A few days after the two disappeared, Ji Quexue returned to Anyang City on her own initiative and surrendered herself again voluntarily."

"What happened next? Did Ji Quexue start a murder and kill countless people in the Ji family?" Ji Yuenian asked in a young voice.

"Cousin, how do you know!?" Zhao Xiaoyun and the others were all stunned, dumbfounded.

Ji Yuenian flipped his palm and took out a three-feet long sword, on which intricate but faint sword light wriggled as if they were alive.

"This sword is the Ji family’s blood spiritual weapon, and its power has become more and more rampant in recent days, so I connected it to the change of the Ji family, and had some speculations for a long time."

Zhao Yanran exclaimed, glanced at the long sword, and said, "My cousin’s guess is not far from the truth. Ji Quexue seemed to have become extremely powerful, as if she had completely changed into a different person. She slaughtered the bloodine descendants of the Ji family. They fled the ancient city of Taichu, and even Taoist Hexuan, who is in the upper stage of the True Dao Realm, was alarmed."

Ji Yuenian sensed the aura of the blood within the Sword, and said, "There are only a hundred people left in the Ji family. This time, I’m going back to the ancient city of Taichu."

Zhan Ming came over, glanced at Zhao Xiaoyun and the others, and clasped his hands towards Ji Yuenian, saying, "Senior Brother Ji, it is extremely cumbersome for Outer Sect disciples to leave the sect. In addition to the approval of the main hall of the mountain peak where they are located, they also need to go to Mountain service peak to report. The review of the Zongwu Temple in Mountain Service peak has always been delayed, and it will take at least three days."

Lu Mingxi smiled from one side and said, "If Senior Brother Ji wants to leave the sect today, I know a good disciple in the Zongwu Hall of Mountain service peak, who can save a lot of inconvenience."

Ji Yueqing flicked his sleeves and said, "I’ll trouble Junior Brother Lu for the review of the Zongwu Palace."

Seeing this, Zhao Xiaoyun hurriedly stepped forward to salute Lu Mingxi, and said, "Senior brother, can you give me a hand, I want to go back to the ancient city of Taichu with my cousin."

Lu Mingxi’s expression was a little strange, and he turned his head to look at Ji Yuenian, with an intent of inquiry in his eyes.

Ji Yueniaodded, and said, "Count this person in as well."

Zhao Yanran had never dared to speak casually. Seeing that she seemed to be left behind, she couldn’t help but walk forward and say, "Cousin, I …"

"You and this girl don’t need to go back, Zhao Xiaoyun is enough to deal with some chores." Ji Yuenian flicked his sleeves slightly, turned his head towards Zhan Ming, and said, "Give these two girls ten primeval stones, and send them back to the place where they are reside."

Without any hesitation, Zhan Ming directly took out twenty primeval stones from his storage bag, and handed them to Zhao Yanran and Chu Lingyue.

"I’ll give you the Token of the Star Courtyard and the General Disciple Token. When I’m away, you can exercise the authority over all the disciples." Ji Yuenian took out a token and handed it to Zhan Ming.

With this token, even if Zhan Ming wanted to earn fifty primeval stones, it would be easy. At that time, he couldn’t help but look happy, took the token, and respectfully bowed. "Thank you, Senior Brother Ji!"n"
