"The Strongest Martial Emperor in the City"!
Although the Phoenix Clan lost a practitioner, the practitioners of other monster clans did not suspect that it was the Dragon Clan who was behind it. After all, the Hundred Veins Origin Area was dangerous in itself, and it was not surprising that a practitioner died there. Some of their companions had died there, but they did not expect that the practitioner who died in the Phoenix Clan was killed by the Dragon Clan.
He first killed the practitioners of the Phoenix clan, and now he wants to kill them all. Anyone would fight to the death!
Ji Hong's eyes fixed, and he immediately looked at Ao Yong and his group not far away, and asked coldly, "Is this true?"
“We did have a conflict with the Phoenix Clan in the Hundred Veins Origin Area and killed one of their companions, but…” Ao Yong paused for a moment and continued, “But we only fought for treasures. It has nothing to do with the grudge between the Dragon and Phoenix Clan. It’s a personal grudge. Moreover, in the Hundred Veins Origin Area, fighting between practitioners is not restricted!”
The fighting in the Blood River Ruins is unrestricted. Even neutral factions and even the practitioners of the Qilin clan themselves may engage in fighting and slaughter. It is not surprising that the practitioners of the Dragon and Phoenix clans, who are not on good terms with each other, would also engage in fighting.
However, Ji Hong had already stepped forward on behalf of the Qilin clan to restrain the fight between the Dragon and Phoenix clans. If the Dragon and Phoenix clans continued to fight as two major factions at this time, it would be a disregard of the rules of the Qilin clan, and the Qilin clan could naturally intervene.
But at this moment, Ao Yong changed his concept. He acknowledged the fight between the two sides in the name of competing for treasures and opportunities. The Qilin clan could not dare to kill practitioners for personal grudges, so naturally it would be bad for them to directly intervene in the matter!
Although everyone understood that the fight between the Dragon and Phoenix cultivators was definitely not as simple as competing for treasures or opportunities, Ao Yong now refused to admit that the conflict was caused by the old grudge between the two tribes, and other cultivators could not force him to admit it.
Hearing Ao Yong's words, Ji Hong's brows furrowed. Obviously, he also realized this, but the Qilin clan itself was a neutral faction and could not interfere too much in the feud between the two clans. Now that Ao Yong had an excuse, he could not directly attack the practitioners of the Dragon clan, otherwise he would interfere in the fight between the Dragon and Phoenix clans.
Thinking of this, Ji Hong's eyes swept over Ao Yong and the others, and he said coldly, "Whether it's a personal grudge or a feud between the two clans, in the Qilin Star Region, you'd better be honest to me. If there is a next time, don't blame me for being merciless."
Hearing this, Ao Yong and others couldn't help but feel relieved. Ji Hong said this, obviously he didn't intend to pursue the matter further. This was good news for everyone in the dragon clan.
"Yes, we juniors will definitely keep your instructions in mind." Ao Yong and others responded respectfully.
Bai Yan, who was standing by, saw this and said unwillingly, "Senior..."
"What? Do you have any objection to the emperor's handling of the matter?" Ji Hong looked at Bai Yan.
Before Bai Yan could speak again, Feng Qi hurriedly said, "The juniors and others naturally have no objection to the senior's handling of the matter. Everything is subject to the senior's orders."
They were naturally a little dissatisfied with Ji Hong's handling of the situation, but they couldn't say such things. After all, Ji Hong was close to the level of an emperor, and this was a star field controlled by the Qilin clan. To question the strong men of the Qilin clan was to seek one's own death.
If Ji Hong had not arrived, even if Ao Yong and the other two had successfully retreated, Xuan Heng would probably have been seriously injured. Now, this result is already a good result for the dragon clan, so there is naturally no need to stay.
"Senior, we'll take our leave first." Ao Yong and others bowed slightly to Ji Hong, then turned into streams of light and disappeared into the depths of the void.
As for the Phoenix Clan, although they were unwilling, they dared not go against Ji Hong's decision and could only watch Ao Yong and his group leave.
Feeling the shadow clone's great loss of origin, Yang Qi couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The shadow clone's lost origin could not be restored. As a result, the shadow clone's strength would inevitably be greatly reduced. He could only let it annihilate itself and then condense again.
Fortunately, the loss of the shadow clone will not have much impact on Yang Qi. It only takes some time to re-condense and recover.
Just when Yang Qi and others were about to say goodbye and leave, Ji Hong suddenly looked at Yang Qi and asked, "Are you Yang Qi?"
"It's me, the junior." Yang Qi said respectfully.
Upon hearing this, Ji Hong said directly, "Follow me."
Um
As soon as these words came out, the faces of Feng Qi and the other three beside him changed. Feng Qi even said directly, "Where are you going to take Fellow Daoist Xu Xing?"
As soon as these words came out, Ji Hong's eyebrows raised, his face suddenly darkened, and he looked at Feng Qi and the other three, and said indifferently, "Do I need to explain to you that I want to take him away?"
"Senior, you misunderstood. Fellow Daoist Feng Qi was just concerned about me. Please forgive me." Yang Qi gave Feng Qi a reassuring look and continued, "If you want to attack me, you can easily kill me at any time. Why bother?"
"You do have some self-awareness." Ji Hong looked at Yang Qi with admiration.
After all, Ji Hong is a strong man close to the level of the Emperor. If he wants to deal with a cultivator at the peak of the five-star Martial Emperor, why should he be timid and just kill him directly.
Feng Qi also reacted at this moment. He looked at Ji Hong in front of him and said respectfully, "Please forgive me, senior."
“Forget it this time.” Ji Hong glanced at Feng Qi, and then took Yang Qi with him, turned into a stream of light, and disappeared directly from the sight of Feng Qi and others.
Bai Yan, who was standing beside him, looked at Ji Hong and Yang Qi who were leaving with a worried look on his face. He looked at Feng Qi beside him and said, "Brother Feng Qi, Taoist friend Xu Xing..."
Feng Qi thought for a moment after hearing this, and then said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Xu Xing has a special identity. Even if he is from the Qilin clan, I believe they won't make things difficult for him."
Yang Qi is not just a cultivator at the peak of the five-star Martial Emperor level, he is also a member of the entire Phoenix clan recognized by the entire Phoenix clan, and even more so a disciple recognized by the Holy Lord Taixu. Even the Qilin clan cannot kill Yang Qi for no reason, otherwise they will inevitably invite revenge from the Phoenix clan and the Holy Lord Taixu.
The Qilin clan has always been low-key. Although they definitely stand on the side of the monster clan when facing the human race, the Qilin clan usually does not target human practitioners, and naturally they will not target Yang Qi!
At this time, Ji Chen, who had rushed over, said, "Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Feng Qi. Senior Ji Hong is a very easy-going senior in my Qilin clan. He shouldn't embarrass Yang Qi."
"I hope so."
Feng Qi thought to himself that facing Ji Hong, they had no power to resist and could only hope that Ji Hong was wary of Yang Qi's identity and would not do anything bad to Yang Qi.
