Chapter 97:
Lu Mingxi’s complexion changed slightly, and he scolded, "It’s nonsense! What kind of person is Senior Brother Ji? How could he fall so easily?"
Zhang Tianxin and the others looked awkward and shut their mouths.
Having said that, Lu Mingxi’s heart was also a little chaotic. After all, no matter how weak the righteous gods of heaven and earth were, they were entities that could be compared with the powerhouse in the Gods and Spirit realm; the position of gods in the territory of Taichu had changed. There was still no news of Ji Yuenian, so these disciples couldn’t help but think about it.
Not long after, even Jiao Xiuyu and Xu Xiao, who were far away from Eclipse Moon Peak, rushed over.
A lotus leaf landed slowly. Zhao Xiaoyun jumped down from the edge of the lotus leaf, looked at the people gathered outside the Wanxing Court, found Lu Mingxi, and said, "Senior Brother Lu, don’t worry, cousin has already been protected by Taichu Land God, and did not participate in the subsequent battle between the two righteous gods. There should be no serious problems.”
Lu Mingxi recognized Zhao Xiaoyun and breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still a little skeptical and said, "Is this really true?"
Zhao Xiaoyuodded, and said, "It’s true, I saw my cousin being protected by the land god of Taichu. He was sent out of Taichu, and then the land god of Taichu competed with the current land god, Shen Xue. After fighting, the divine body of the land god finally collapsed and disappeared, and the position of the ninth-rank god within the territory of Taichu changed hands from then on."
Those disciples gathered around one after another. Hearing that Ji Yuenian was fine, they couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Some of them really cared about Ji Yuenian’s safety, while more people were worried about their own future and interests, which was humaature.
While talking, Zhan Ming brought more than ten disciples up from Scattered Star Court. Yaoyao said loudly to Lu Mingxi, "Junior brother Lu, what happened to Senior Brother Ji?"
Lu Mingxi took a deep look at Zhan Ming, his eyes were a little inexplicable. "He’s all right, and should be returning to Xingyuan Peak soon."
Zhan Ming lived in the Xingyuan Peak’s courtyard, the Scattered Stars Court, so he would not be unaware that Ji Yuenian’s Qingluan had been sent back, but it took him so long to come to the Wangxing Court to have a look.
Even though the Lu family where Lu Mingxi lived had some connections with the family behind Zhan Ming, he couldn’t help being a little contemptuous of him, but this matter couldn’t be clearly stated at all, so he had to keep it in his heart for the time being.
"It’s fine as long as he’s okay, it’s fine if he’s okay," Zhan Ming said with a look of joy on his face. "Senior Brother Ji is blessed, so I knew he would be fine.”
Qingluan’s high-pitched neighing attracted everyone’s attention, and while waving its huge wings, the blue-feathered Luan bird slowly lifted into the sky, heading towards a faintly approaching figure in the sky.
Ji Yuenian wore a black moon robe, and his long jet-black hair was tied behind a white jade belt. He was surrounded by an incomparably rich Yin Qi of heaven and earth, and he traveled from far away.
The green-robed man in the Divine Sea realm left Ji Yueniaot far from Xingyuan Peak. With Ji Yuenian’s cultivation base at the Late Stage of Xuan Realm, although the Yin Qi of heaven and earth in his blood did not allow him to hover in the air for a long time, it wasn’t a problem for a shorter distance.
"It’s Brother Ji!"
"Cousin!"
"Brother Ji is back!"
Many disciples showed joy on their faces, and they all respectfully saluted the figure above Qingluan Moutains.
Qingluan gradually landed outside the courtyard. Ji Yuenian walked down from the side of the sky, and looked at Zhao Xiaoyun among the crowd.
With just one glance, Ji Yuenian could tell that Zhao Xiaoyun had already begun to practice of ghost transformation , and there were some signs of getting started.
This mantra could raise the Heart Fire by two levels. Although there were not many requirements for aptitude, it had extremely high requirements for understanding. Zhao Xiaoyun was able to grope for the threshold of the real mantra of ghost transformation so quickly, which showed that his comprehension was not bad.
Lu Mingxi glanced at the bustling disciples, frowned, and said, "Senior Brother Ji has returned safely, and he needs to rest in peace. You should all retreat for now. It won’t be too late to pay your respects again after Senior Brother Ji has recuperated for a few days. "
These disciples all showed more or less reluctance on their faces, but Lu Mingxi was the Deputy General disciple, with a high position and authority, and ordinary disciples dared not disobey what he said.
All of a sudden, many disciples retreated after seeing Ji Yuenian. After dozens of breaths, there were only less than ten close disciples left outside the courtyard.
Ji Yuenian took a look at Zhan Ming, Zhang Tianxin and the others, and said, "Go back and practice first."
Zhan Ming and the others did not dare to disobey, and saluted one after another. "Yes, Senior Brother Ji."
After saying that, they left Wangxing Court one after another, and headed back to Scattering Stars Courtyard.
The shield outside the Wangxing Courtyard collapsed, and Ji Yuenian went in first, followed by Lu Mingxi, Zhao Xiaoyun, Jiao Xiuyu and Xu Xiao.
After a few breaths, the light shield outside the courtyard re-condensed, and the surroundings of the Wangxing Courtyard gradually returned to silence. Only two huge blue-feathered Luan birds were left lying outside the courtyard, absorbing the sunlight every moment.
"Senior Brother Ji, after this incident, I realized that most of these people are here just to obtain power and are not worthy of following you at all.”
After taking the primary and secondary seats on the Star Gazing Jade Couch, Lu Mingxi spoke first, with a look of indignation.
After all, Zhan Ming was recommended by him, but his performance this time was very disappointing, which made Lu Mingxi feel a little embarrassed.
Zhao Xiaoyun didn’t know much about the affairs of Xingyuan Peak, so it was inconvenient to say more at this time, but Xu Xiao had been observing Ji Yuenian’s expression, and slowly said, "Although what Senior Brother Lu said makes sense, it isn’t feasible. Not advisable."
Lu Mingxi glanced at him sideways, with a worried look on his face, and said, "I wonder what Senior Brother Xu has to say?"
Xu Xiao was a disciple of Eclipse Moon Peak, with mediocre talent and no background. Lu Mingxi looked down on him very much.
"Senior Brother Ji has not yet entered the Three Realms of the Six Mountains, nor has he ever truly been ranked as the Candidate Holy Son," Xu Xiao mulled over his words, and said eloquently, "Senior Brother Ji’s identity is still the Outer Sect disciple of the Luoxia Mountain Range. Everything is complicated in the Luoxia Mountain Range. Although these disciples are very bad, they have many uses, and we don’t need to pay too much attention to them."
His words were extremely ingenious, using the word "we" to tie himself to Ji Yuenian invisibly. Even if Lu Mingxi had some opinions on his words, it was inconvenient to express them directly.
"As far as I know, these days, Zhan Ming has made a lot of money relying on his position as Deputy General disciple. At least he has nearly made a hundred primeval stones," Lu Mingxi snorted coldly, and did not contend with Xu Xiao. Then, he clasped his hands directly at Ji Yuenian. "Senior Brother Ji, if this continues, it will show that this guy is ruining your reputation, so we have to guard against it!"
Ji Yuenian looked calmly, and said softly, "Xu Xiao’s words are reasonable, but these disciples have benefited from my status as a General Disciple, so it’s time for them to pay back."
