[A 5600-word chapter is here.]
Ji Luoshan smiled faintly and said, "Of course. After all, I am just a descendant of a branch family, not a legitimate descendant. How could he be willing to hand over the family business he has worked so hard for to me?"
Ji He said: "A man will die for his friend. If the Patriarch can be fair to you and truly accept you in his heart, you will naturally swear allegiance to him. After all, everything we do has only one purpose, which is to strengthen the power of the Ji Family. It is such a simple truth, doesn't the Patriarch understand it?"
Ji Luoshan said: "As the deputy palace master of the underground palace, how could he not understand these principles? However, everyone has selfish desires. If it were you, would you be willing to give 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 understanding, and there are some things we still have to do."
Ji He nodded and said, "Brother Luo Shan, no matter what, the patriarch is very powerful. It is not a wise move to deal with him. Why don't we just go after those four women? As long as we kill them, won't everything be fine?"
Ji Luoshan waved his hand and said, "No rush. There is still a thousand years before their wedding. If I still can't pull him down from the throne of the Patriarch after a thousand years, it won't be too late to implement the plan."
“Brother Luo Shan, it’s not that I don’t believe in you, but your current cultivation is only at the pseudo-saint level. I’m worried that you may not be able to break through to the Great Saint level in a thousand years.”
Ji He was extremely worried. The fact that he dared to say such words directly was enough to prove that their relationship was unusual.
"If I practice as usual, it will definitely be impossible, but as long as I enter the Eight Great Divine Realms, there will be nothing I can't do!"
Ji Luoshan spoke confidently, his eyes shining brightly!
"Brother Luo Shan is also going to the Divine Realm?"
Ji He was surprised.
"The Divine Realm is a holy place that countless people dream of. Of course I have to go there. 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, but with my level of cultivation, I'm afraid I'll just be embarrassed if I go in."
Ji He looked lost. After practicing for more than three thousand years, he had only reached the fifth tribulation. Facing the countless geniuses in the Divine Realm, the difference between him was simply that between an ant and an elephant.
Ji Luoshan shook his head and said, "Why do you need to care about other people's eyes? As long as you work hard, it will be fine. Besides, don't you have me? You are my cousin, I will naturally not allow others to ride on your head."
"Brother Luo Shan, I..."
Ji He was deeply moved.
"Okay, stop saying those cheesy words. This matter is settled. Also, it's best not to mention these things again in the future. Be careful, there may be ears on the other side of the wall." Ji Luoshan warned.
"snort!"
Ji He snorted coldly and sneered, "What are you afraid of? Even though the six elders haven't said it clearly, anyone with common sense can see that they are on your side. Those Ji family members are too busy trying to curry favor with you to inform you."
Ji Luoshan said: "That's true, but it's always better to be on guard. Okay, I'll leave Jiang Moshan to you first. I'll go meet the six clan elders. As long as they agree, Ji Wuhui won't stop me from going to the Eight Divine Realms."
"kindness."
Ji He nodded.
…
"It turns out that the Ji family is not peaceful either."
In the starry world, Wutan stood on the top of the sacred tree, looking at the scene in the void in front of him, his eyes flickering.
Before, after he left Ji Yue Tower, he did not leave immediately, but entered the Star Realm, wanting to see what Jiang Moshan's purpose was in coming to Xiyu City. Unexpectedly, he would see this scene and hear such words.
"Xiao Wutian, this may be an opportunity for us."
Little Wuhao floated beside Wutan and said thoughtfully.
"How to say?"
There is no sky without understanding.
Xiao Wuhao said: "We will send this footage to Ji Wuhui. On the one hand, we can negotiate with him to rescue You Hanyun and the others. On the other hand, we can also trick Jiang Moshan."
After a moment of silence, Wu Tian nodded and said, "This is a good suggestion. Jiang Moshan has a deep grudge against us. If he succeeds in entering the Eight Great God Realms, with his talent, I believe he will be a greater threat to us. But I am worried that Ji Wuhui will let You Hanyun and the others go easily. What's more, I have changed my appearance now and have no relationship with them. If I rashly make this request, it will inevitably arouse Ji Wuhui's suspicion."
Xiao Wuhao smiled and said, "It's easy to come up with a reason. You can find any excuse. As for whether Ji Wuhui will let them go, to be honest, even if he doesn't, it won't be a big loss for us in our current situation. After all, being able to trick Jiang Moshan is already enough."
Wu Tian thought about it for a while and felt that it made sense.
If this didn't happen, he could only snatch it from Ji Wuhui, but now there might still be a chance.
"No venture, no gain. All right, I'm going to go meet Ji Wuhui face to face!"
Wu Tian clenched his fists, his eyes gleaming with brilliance!
Things are different now than in the past. In the past, because of the relationship between the Heaven-Destroying War Body and the Starry Realm, he had to be cautious.
But now, the Zhanluo Divine Sword has used its great power to completely shield itself from the starry world. Even Lu Lan and Cheng Yu find it difficult to discern its true nature.
Therefore, he is not afraid to meet Ji Wuhui at all now!
If Ji Wuhui attacks him later, he can enter the starry sky. At that time, Ji Wuhui can only stare blankly!
Little Wuhao controlled the Star Realm and landed in a remote alley. After Wutan walked out of the Star Realm, he went straight to the Ji family's ancestral home.
Soon, he arrived at the door of Ji's house.
On both sides of the door, two burly men stood straight. Although night had fallen and there were few pedestrians on the street, and although the Ji family was well-known and no one dared to cause trouble, they still did not relax at all and scanned the front with their sharp eyes.
Seeing Wutan walking towards them, the two big men's expressions turned cold and they immediately became alert.
One of them shouted, "Stop!"
Wu Tian stopped five steps away and bowed, saying, "Two brothers, I have something important to report to Master Ji Wu Hui, please let him know."
"Looking for Master Ji?"
The two were stunned and asked in confusion: "Why are you looking for the master?"
Wu Tian shook his head and said, "This matter is of great importance. Please forgive me for not being able to tell you."
"I'm sorry, please go back!"
Upon hearing this, the two of them immediately ordered them to leave.
Wu Tian raised his eyebrows, suppressed his displeasure, and continued: "This matter is really important. Can you two brothers please be flexible and report to Lord Ji first? I will definitely not miss out on the benefits for you two brothers afterwards."
When they heard there were benefits, their eyes lit up.
However, for some reason, after the two looked at each other, they were not moved at all and shook their heads and said, "The Ji family has its own rules. If you don't explain the reason, we will definitely not inform you."
After the two of them refused again and again, Wutan finally discovered some clues.
Who is Ji Wuhui
He is the deputy master of the underground palace and the patriarch of the Ji family!
He also stated at one point that he had something very important to report to Ji Wuhui.
Normally, the two should have gone ahead to report immediately, but now they were blocked one after another.
Moreover, she was determined to know the purpose of his search for Ji Wuhui.
Let me ask you, what qualifications do two gatekeepers have to ask about Ji Wuhui's affairs
Therefore, there must be something fishy going on.
A gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and Wu Tian twisted his voice into a line, which was heard by the two men, and said: "Brothers, to be honest, I came to see Master Ji this time because of Ji Luoshan's matter."
"Young Master Luo Shan?"
The two big men were stunned.
Then, the two of them stared at Wu Tian, and one of them asked, "What happened to Young Master Luo Shan?"
Wu Tian shook his head and said, "I really can't say that."
The two looked at each other in silence for a while. The man who had spoken before looked at Wu Tian and said, "Okay, come with me. I will take you to see Master Ji now."
"Thanks, brother."
Wu Tian bowed.
Then, Wutan followed a big man into the gate. Although night had fallen, the lights were still on, just like daytime.
The big man smiled and said, "Brother, this is your first time!"
Wu Tian nodded.
The big man laughed and said, "I can tell from your expression. Oh, by the way, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Ji Zhan. What's your last name, brother?"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "Li Bu Luan."
"Isn't it a mess? What kind of a name is that?"
Ji Zhan muttered to himself, and then whispered, "Brother Li, can you tell me in private what Brother Luo Shan has done wrong?"
"Committing a crime?"
Wu Tian was slightly stunned, and asked in confusion: "Brother Ji Zhan, why do you say that?"
Ji Zhan asked, "Didn't you say earlier that you came to see Master Ji because of Young Master Luo Shan's matter?"
Wu Tian pretended to be innocent and said, "That's right, but I didn't say that your young master Luo Shan committed any crime!"
"Haha, I see. It seems I misunderstood."
Ji Zhanhan smiled, looking naive, but a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
"strangeness."
Wu Tian muttered.
From the beginning until now, he has been secretly paying attention to the changes in Ji Zhan's expression, including the person who stayed at the door.
Earlier, when he said that the purpose of this trip was for Ji Luoshan, he clearly noticed a hint of nervousness in the expressions of the two men. Even after entering the Ji family, the nervousness in Ji Zhan's expression was still there.
However, after hearing what he said, it was as if a huge stone had been lifted off Ji Zhan's face, and the tension on his expression actually disappeared.
This is unusual and really strange!
Could it be...
Suddenly, an idea flashed in Wutan's mind, and he remembered the conversation between Ji He and Ji Luoshan.
Could it be that Ji Zhan and the other two are Ji Luoshan’s men
"interesting."
Thinking of this, Wutan's mouth corners slightly raised, with a playful smile.
The two of them walked forward in silence without saying a word.
Gradually, Wu Tian discovered something was wrong.
Because the direction Ji Zhan took him to was not the center of Ji Mansion, but a secluded area in the north.
Wu Tian asked calmly: "Brother Ji Zhan, although I have never been to the Ji family, I have heard that Lord Ji's residence seems to be the palace in the central location!"
Ji Zhan laughed and said, "Brother Li, you don't know that the patriarch only goes to the central hall when he is discussing matters with the elders. Normally, he stays alone in Jixuanju."
"Ji Xuanju?" Wutan was stunned.
Ji Zhan explained: "Ji Xuan Ju is located in the northernmost corner, it is quiet and elegant, and the owner of the family is a person who likes quietness, so Ji Xuan Ju has become the owner's exclusive retreat place."
Wu Tian suddenly realized, and without saying anything more, he followed Ji Zhan quietly.
In fact, he didn't believe what the big man said at all, and he became secretly alert.
A hundred breaths later, Wutan arrived at the gate of a villa.
Inside the villa, flowers are in full bloom, grass and trees are lush, and the breeze blows on your face, bringing a refreshing coolness. The bright moonlight shines down, adding a sense of mystery to the villa.
"This place has a beautiful environment, is quiet and elegant, and is indeed a good place for health and retreat."
Wu Tian muttered.
“Boom boom!”
Ji Zhan reached out and gently knocked on the closed door.
"who?"
At this moment, an old and hoarse voice came from the attic in the villa.
Wu Tian’s pupils contracted.
He had seen Ji Wuhui and heard his voice before. He was the type with a strong voice.
Therefore, he immediately determined that the person who spoke was not Ji Wuhui at all!
"Great clan elder, I, Ji Zhan, have brought Li Buluan here."
Ji Zhan said respectfully.
The elder of the clan said, "Bring him in."
"It turns out to be the elder of the Ji family. It seems to be just as I guessed."
Wu Tian was shocked and said angrily: "Ji Zhan, why are you doing this? I have made it very clear just now that I am here to see Master Ji Wuhui, not the head of the Ji family!"
"Haha, don't worry, Brother Li. Lord Ji will be here soon, and the elder of the clan knows you are coming and wants to see you, so you might as well talk to him first."
Ji Zhan smiled, seemingly friendly and approachable, but Wutan caught a hint of murderous intent in his eyes!
"I'm really sorry to trouble Brother Ji Zhan."
There is no justice in the world, and one can only smile with one's lips but not with his eyes.
Ji Zhan waved his hand and said, "Brother, you are too polite. Since you have come to the Ji family, you are a friend of the Ji family..."
Before he finished speaking, Wu Tian sneered, "Didn't you hear that I was laughing at you?"
Then, he teleported away through the air.
"My friend, everyone who comes is a guest. If you just leave like this, others will think that my Ji family is impolite and did not entertain you well enough!"
But at this moment, the clan elder's calm voice was heard, and a terrifying pressure emerged and pressed towards Wutan.
Immediately, Wutan opened the Heavenly Vein!
But for some reason, his Heavenly Meridian was suddenly closed and he was trapped in mid-air by the pressure.
Immediately afterwards, Wutan was forcibly taken into a strange room.
Wu Tian looked a little panicked and looked around.
In the room, there was a jade coffee table, which was smooth and flawless, with a crystal luster. On it, a teapot was bubbling, and the fragrance of tea was refreshing and intoxicating.
Eight exquisite chairs were neatly placed around the coffee table, and on the chair directly opposite him, a white-haired old man in white clothes was leaning against it, looking at him with strange eyes.
Wu Tian looked a little terrified, and said with a bow, "Greetings, great clan elder."
After looking at Wu Tian for a while, the elder of the clan retracted his gaze and said with a chuckle, "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."
"real?"
Wu Tian questioned.
The elder smiled kindly and said, "As the elder of the Ji family, my words are my bond. How can they be false?"
"call!"
Wu Tian pretended to exhale, and the panic on his face gradually dissipated.
The elder of the clan said again: "Although I will not harm you, I hope that you can cooperate with me. Otherwise, I will not mind destroying your life."
Wu Tian bowed and said, "As long as the elders of the clan don't kill me, I will tell you everything I know."
"You are very sensible. People who are sensible will naturally live longer."
The elder of the clan laughed, with a hint of contempt in his tone, and asked, "Tell me, what do you want to see the head of the clan for?"
Wu Tian glanced at the room and muttered in his heart, "This place is definitely not what Ji Zhan said. It is Ji Wuhui's residence. The real owner must be a great elder. But why haven't I seen Ji Luoshan? Before leaving Ji Yue Tower, I clearly heard Ji Luoshan tell Ji He that he was coming to meet the six great elders."
After a moment's hesitation, Wutan decided to answer truthfully just in case.
"I accidentally heard the conversation between Ji Luoshan and Ji He before, and they wanted to harm Lord Ji. So, I was blinded by greed and wanted to report Ji Luoshan in front of Lord Ji."
After Wutan finished speaking, he secretly paid attention to the expression of the patriarch's elder.
However, the clan elder was not surprised at all when he heard this, which showed that he condoned Ji Luoshan's rebellious behavior.
In other words, Ji Luoshan's backer, Ji Luoshan's reliance, is none other than the great clan elder!
"I see."
The elder suddenly realized, brewed a cup of tea, drank it slowly, and then asked playfully: "Do you know what the relationship between Luo Shan and this old man is?"
"I'm new here, so I don't know anything yet."
Wu Tian shook his head.
The elder of the clan smiled and said, "Luo Shan is my grandson, and he is my biological grandson."
Wu Tian’s eyes fixed.
After hearing this, all my previous doubts were finally answered.
"Haha, when we were at Jiyue Tower, I thought you were just a clown, but I didn't expect that I would be so wrong. It turns out that you are actually an extraordinary person."
At this moment, a faint laugh was heard, and the door was pushed open. A young man in fancy clothes and five old men in white clothes entered one after another.
The person who spoke was the young man in Chinese clothes.
And who else could he be if not Ji Luoshan
As for the other five people, there is no need to guess that they must be the other five elders of the Ji family.
Wutan secretly rejoiced in his heart, fortunately he had been careful before and told everything truthfully, otherwise he would have been exposed.
Ji Luoshan and the five elders took their seats one after another, then looked at Wutan with interest, with a hint of amusement on their lips.
The elder drank a cup of fragrant tea, looked up at Wu Tian, and said with a smile: "You are very honest, but if I let you go like this, there is no guarantee that you will not go to Ji Wu Hui again and tip him off, or spread the news outside, so I can only kill you. I believe you should understand my difficulties."
"Haha, breaking one's promise and getting rich, it turns out that the great patriarch of the Ji family is just like this."
Wu Tian sneered.
Upon hearing this, a strong murderous intent flashed in the eyes of the five elders and Ji Luoshan at the same time!
The elder of the clan laughed and said, "How dare you be so arrogant in front of me? I didn't know you were so courageous!"
Wu Tian said: "The elder of the clan is determined to kill me. It seems that I can't escape today. In this case, can you let me be a clear-headed ghost?"
"What do you want to know?"
The clan elder spoke calmly, not in a hurry to kill and silence the witness.
The five clan elders also looked indifferent.
Because they were confident enough that even if Ji Wuhui came in person, he might not be able to get this person away from them.
Of course, when it comes to individual combat power, they admit that they are not as good as Ji Wuhui's opponent, but if they join forces, even Ji Wuhui will probably have to think twice before taking action.
Wu Tian asked, "I want to know, was it your idea for Ji Luoshan to murder Ji Wuhui and usurp the position of the head of the family?"
"yes."
The elder of the clan nodded and admitted straightforwardly, saying, "Although Ji Wuhui is quite capable and has a strong backing, he lacks courage and is too selfish. It is impossible for him to make the Ji family truly strong. Therefore, the Ji family needs a new leader."
Wutan was secretly surprised. He didn't expect that the clan elder's ambition was so big. It was not enough to dominate Xiyu City, he wanted to step onto a bigger stage.
Then, he glanced at Ji Luoshan and asked doubtfully: "Do you think Ji Luoshan has the courage to do this? And you should know that Ji Wuhui's adoptive father is Cheng Yu Tianshen. Aren't you afraid that Ji Wuhui will ask Cheng Yu Tianshen for help?"
“Of course there is. Luo Shan’s current strength is not as good as Ji Wuhui’s, but with his talent, it is only a matter of time before he surpasses Ji Wuhui. As for the God Cheng Yu, haha, as long as we do it secretly, he can’t do anything to us. Maybe because of Ji Wuhui’s death, he will take better care of us than before and give us a great fortune!”
The clan elder laughed.
"The elder of the clan is really good at calculating. I admire him."
Wu Tian gave a thumbs up, but secretly said, "Xiao Wu Hao, did you write it down?"
"Don't worry, not a single word will be missed."
Xiao Wuhao laughed wickedly.
