Flames rose in the brazier.
This is a quiet dense forest.
Ji Liao, Ji Xiuniang, and Ji Zihe knelt in front of a tomb in mourning clothes.
There is an inscription engraved on the tombstone, and there are two names written on it, Ji Yong and Ji Shuangyue.
Ji Zihe threw some paper money into the brazier from time to time, while Ji Xiu Niang's smoke ring turned red, obviously she had cried not long ago.
Ji Liao looked at the two names on the tombstone in trance.
His father died when he was young, so Ji Liao had a weak impression of Ji Yong in his heart. He and Ji Shuangyue had been dependent on each other for more than ten years, and they had endured all the hardships and hardships, and tasted all the warmth and warmth of the world.
"Auntie, grandma has returned to dust, don't be too sad."
Hearing what Ji Zihe said, tears welled up in Ji Xiu Niang's eyes again.
Not to mention, Ji Xiuniang and Ji Shuangyue have been together for more than a hundred years. At the end of Ji Shuangyue's life, Ji Shuangyue gave her the chance to live. This friendship is as heavy as Mount Tai, even the kindness of his biological parents. Nothing more.
"You don't understand your grandma." Ji Xiu Niang sobbed softly.
Ji Liao recalled in his mind the scene when he overcame the inner demons. At that time, Ji Shuangyue was pierced by a deep chain through his chest. Although Ji Liao broke through the inner demons, that scene was imprinted in his heart. Became a knot.
"Hey..." Ji Liao exhaled heavily and stood up, "Okay Xiu Niang, it's time for us to go back."
Ji Xiu Niang nodded in response and was helped by Ji Zihe to stand up.
The sound of creaking sounded, and the figures of the three people gradually moved away and disappeared into the dense forest, and the brazier in front of the tomb was also extinguished.
In a main hall of the Ji family, Ji Meng and the people in charge of the Ji family were sparsely present and waiting there.
None of them dared to sit down, they all stood with solemn expressions and hands tied.
The sky darkened, and a crescent moon rose into the sky. Dots of stars were embedded in the dark sky, spreading starlight all over the sky.
The sky is high and out of reach, and the twinkling stars correspond to the people in this world. After the brilliance, only the afterglow remains.
The sound of footsteps came, and all the Ji family members in the hall looked for the sound and looked towards the door.
But he saw a man with long blue hair and handsome features walking slowly outside the door. It was Ji Liao.
Ji Liao's face was completely calm, without any emotion or anger. At this moment, his heart was extremely calm.
Under the gaze of these dozen people, Ji Liao slowly walked to the main seat in the hall and sat down.
"I've met Senior Ji!" More than a dozen people bowed respectfully to Ji Liao.
"Yeah!" Ji Liao snorted lightly.
Looking around, Ji Liao found that apart from Ji Meng, Ji Liao didn't know anyone else among these people. It seemed that after a hundred years, the Ji family had become thinner, and their state of mind was no different from the past. few.
Many years ago, the Ji family also had Ji Changhong, Ji Wuxing and other monks at the first level of Qi. But now, among the dozen or so people in charge, except Ji Meng, they have reached the ninth level of Qi. Externally, everyone else is below the sixth level of Naqi.
Ji Liao recalled the Youlan Sect disciple he caught when he crossed the natural chasm. The disciple once said that the Youlan Sect came to the Ji family and slaughtered them after Ji Liao left. Now these people can kill the Ji family. It is very rare to preserve it for hundreds of years without disappearing from the world.
After everyone sat down, Ji Liao glanced at the people in the hall, and then said calmly, "Do you still remember the instructions given by the ancestors of the Ji family?"
Everyone looked solemn and nodded at the same time.
"This is why I came back this time." Ji Liao said.
"Senior Ji, are you sure?" Someone in the crowd asked at this time, but as soon as he said the words, he knew that he had lost his words, and he quickly raised his hand to Ji Liao, "It's the junior who lost his words."
"It's okay." Ji Liao glanced at the man with a smile and waved.
Ji Liao had no feelings for the Ji family at all, but when he returned here again after traveling for so long, Ji Liao felt that the trees had roots.
He couldn't help but sigh, even if the human race became immortals, they would never be able to break the connection brought by the distant bloodline.
"You have done a great job in maintaining the Ji family's existence in such a large scale despite the catastrophe."
"Thank you, Senior Ji!" Everyone in the hall responded in unison.
"Are you the Ji family's strongest combat force now?" Ji Liao asked again.
The dozen or so Ji family members could not help but feel their cheeks getting hot when they looked at me and me.
"The Ji family has built an underground palace, and there are several hidden direct descendants of the Ji family in it. Their cultivation level is above the seventh level of receiving Qi. But now my Ji family is in a difficult situation and cannot continue to support them in their cultivation." Ji Meng, the clan leader, replied with a sad expression.
Ji Liao had expected it, but was not too surprised. He nodded, then smiled and said, "Is there any place you like in Xianbei?"
"this..."
Dozens of people were stunned when they heard this, not knowing what Ji Liao meant.
"Hehehe, it doesn't matter. You can choose any treasure land in the Immortal Mountains in the North. I will take it for you." Ji Liao chuckled.
"What...."
Ji Liao's words were like a thunderclap. More than a dozen people gasped at the same time and looked at Ji Liao in disbelief.
"Today's world is dominated by me, Ji Liao. No one can stop me even if I kill all the creatures in Xianbei."
Silence, absolute silence, Ji Liao's words seemed to make everyone in the venue fall into the freezing cold of winter, and they couldn't help but shudder.
Ji Meng's eyes flashed, and finally his eyes turned cold and he gritted his teeth, "Our Ji family wants the gate of Youlan Sect."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and then they realized it and responded in unison.
"Yes, our Ji family wants to replace Youlan Sect."
"The Youlan Sect has bullied others too much and has bullied our Ji family for thousands of years. We must not swallow this tone."
"The Youlan Sect massacred the children of my Ji family, and this time we need to pay with their blood."
Ji Liao smiled and nodded.
Fortunately, the people of the Ji family still have some integrity. They have not lost their spirit due to thousands of years of suppression, and they have not forgotten the teachings of their ancestors.
"My parents rest here, so the ancestral land of the Ji family cannot be abandoned. From today on, no mortals within a hundred miles of the Ji family are allowed to come and go. Whether it is the city or the mortal imperial court, they will all be moved away. If anyone dares to stay, kill!"
The dozen people in the hall were shocked when they heard this, and a thought came to their minds at the same time, that is, the person in front of them is too terrifying. Is this really a direct descendant of their Ji family?
"From then on, the ancestral land of the Ji family was left alone in the world. It was a forbidden land in Xianbei. Only people with the surname Ji were allowed to enter and leave the ancestral land. The person who took over the mountain gate of the Youlan sect was selected by the Ji family, and no one with other surnames was allowed to take over. Also, from now on, the people of the mountain gate of the Youlan sect were not allowed to take over. The land cannot become a sect power, and can only refer to itself as a family to the outside world. Those who enter must also have a blood relationship with the Ji family. If not, they are not allowed to step into the mountain gate." Ji Liao said again.
Ji Liao had his own reasons for doing this.
No matter what, his identity as Ji Liao is always a direct bloodline of the Ji family. If he goes to seek revenge from Taoist Hua Yun, then this matter will inevitably spread, and the Ji family will rise again through his east wind.
In this case, then simply help the Ji family.
Naturally, the Ji family's ancestral land cannot be lost. However, the Ji family's ancestral land lacks spiritual energy and is not suitable for cultivation. In the future, the power will naturally develop to the outside world.
Ji Liao's strict order not to allow the Ji family to become a sect was something he had carefully considered.
The sect force is different from the Immortal Cultivation Family. The sect force recruits disciples. It has a large number of people and involves a lot of people. Due to the relationship between resources, there are often fights with other sects. This kind of thing cannot be controlled at all.
Compared with sects, the Immortal Cultivation Family grows more slowly and does not require many resources. They all have the same surname. Even if something happens inside, it can be solved internally. Relatively speaking, there will not be too many problems. If there is a big dispute, at least you can live a comfortable life.
Ji Liao planted this nail in the ancestral land of the Ji family again. In the future, the people of the Ji family who are in the Youlan Sect will not dare to be too presumptuous. At that time, it was time for Ji Liao to take action.
With Ji Liao's arrangement, the Ji family was divided into two places, one was the ancestral land of the Ji family, and the other was located at the mountain gate of Youlan Sect.
Although both places are members of the Ji family, their functions are completely opposite. Youlan Sect is suitable for cultivation, so the Ji family can send qualified direct descendants there, while the Ji family ancestral land is where some of the true Ji family bloodline inheritance is left. The person controls the Youlan Sect in the distance.
In this way, it will not only protect the Ji family's ancestral land from being abandoned, but also give the Ji family a place to practice, and at the same time prevent the Ji family where the Youlan Sect lives from becoming bigger in the future and disobeying the Ji family's orders. get more.
As a direct descendant of the Ji family, Ji Liao is now in the state of refining the gods. He has experienced so much during this period that he has easily arranged a bright path for the Ji family in the future.
At this time, the dozen or so people in the hall did not understand why Ji Liao made such arrangements, but they did not dare to refute anything. They all took Ji Liao's words to heart and nodded in agreement.
"Okay, I need to stay in seclusion for a while. Soon I will leave for Youlan Sect to meet with Taoist Hua Yun." Ji Liao said calmly.
Then, his figure flashed, and the next moment there was no trace of Ji Liao on the main seat.
After Ji Liao left, the dozen or so Ji family members in the palace breathed a long sigh of relief, and then they surrounded Ji Meng.
"Clan leader, this senior said about driving away mortals, you see..."
"Yes, he also said that he would split the Ji family into two from now on. How can this be done!"
Ji Meng's eyes flashed, and after listening to the words of these people, he gradually understood what Ji Liao was thinking.
He smiled lightly and said, "Just do as he says."
