Chapter 377: Chapter 334 Ji Family Changes Leadership_1
Seeing the three Saint Kings emerge from the small mountain village, the people of the Ji Family were overjoyed and hurriedly went up to meet them.
“Saint Kings, you’re finally back…”
Ji Tianhao was extremely delighted and said,
“May I ask the three Saint Kings… have you found the Ancestral treasure?”
Ji Tianpan and the others were also very solemnly anticipating the answer, after all, it was a treasure related to the honor and disgrace of the Ji Family.
Upon hearing this, Taitian Saint King nodded and said,
“We’ve found it.”
At these words, everyone was even more ecstatic.
“Truly found our clan’s treasure? That’s wonderful, absolutely wonderful!”
“Our clan will flourish greatly, favored by the heavens!”
“As long as we can find that Ancestral treasure, we might have the possibility of a new Saint Emperor arising. Our Ji Family, will see another era of glory!”
Everyone began discussing excitedly.
And Ji Tianhao was even more overjoyed, bursting into great laughter as he said,
“Saint Kings, now with conclusive evidence, Ji Tianjing stole the Ancestral treasure of our Ji Family, and his descendants hid it without reporting. According to the clan rule, please preside over justice, Saint Kings, and remove Ji Tianjing’s name from the Ji Family genealogy, his descendants, henceforth must not enter the Ji Family, and all those involved in this matter must be completely exterminated!”
He said this, a look of triumph on his face as he glanced at Ji Tianpan, even adding somewhat pointedly,
“In addition, Tianhao suggests that we should thoroughly investigate who else conspired with him at that time. They should all be dug out and settled!”
He felt that everything was secure.
This time, he had made great contributions to the family, and he had also seized the lifeline of Ji Tianpan and others.
The once dazzling Ji Tianjing, who he could only look up to, would today be nailed by him to the pillar of shame of the Ji Family.
But no sooner had he finished speaking than the Taigang Saint King and the others’ expressions changed simultaneously!
“Hold your tongue!”
Taitian Saint King urgently rebuked!
Taigang Saint King even said angrily,
“Ji Tianhao, do you wish to die?!”
His words made their hearts tremble.
Damn it, even at a time like this, still holding Ji Tianjing responsible? To expel his descendants from the Ji Family and completely exterminate them??
Is this seeking death?! Now, they all understood that Ji Tianjing was nothing less than the figure of Ancestor Emperor Ji Xuanyuan charging into the future!
And Ji Yuanqing and others were not only the direct descendants of Ji Tianjing… but now they were also under the care of the Senior from the small courtyard!
Disrespectful to them? This was wishing for the destruction of the entire Ji Family!
Seeing this, everyone was dumbfounded.
What happened to the two Saint Kings?
Ji Tianhao was also shocked and said,
“Saint Kings, I, I have no personal agenda, everything is for the good of the family…”
Taitian Saint King couldn’t hold back any longer and directly scolded,
“Be quiet!”
He coldly said,
“For your personal gain, you presumptuously ordered people to move against meritorious officials, almost leading our family to an irreversible disaster!”
“From today onward, your position as the family head is revoked!”
Hearing this, Ji Tianhao was struck as if by thunder.
His mind was greatly shaken…
What?
Revoke my position as family head…
How could this be so?
At this moment, he panicked, completely panicked!
What exactly happened in the small mountain village? Why did the attitudes of Taitian and Taigang, two Saint Kings who initially supported him, change so drastically?
“Saint Kings, I, I was wrong!”
He quickly knelt down, sweat dripping down, and said, “But I, everything I did was for the family…”
Taigang Saint King looked at him coldly and said,
“You have committed an unforgivable grave sin, for which death a thousand times over would not atone.”
Then, Taigang Saint King turned to Tai Xuan and said,
“Brother Tai Xuan, according to the clan rule, please make your move and strip him of all his cultivation, shall we?”
The people of the Ji Family were even more shocked at this moment.
They were really going to strip Ji Tianhao of his cultivation?
What on earth happened…
“Unbelievable, what exactly happened inside this small mountain village…”
“The attitudes of the two Saint Kings have completely changed…”
“It’s not because Ji Tianhao defied the will of Tai Xuan Saint King and privately ordered people to suppress the descendants of Ji Tianjing… but because of the huge calamity he brought upon the Ji Family!”
The crowd whispered and speculated among themselves!
They all understood that when the three Saint Kings entered the small mountain village… it seemed that a great disaster was nearly unleashed.
What could have been so consistent in their decisive attitude, fear, and reverence to the point of stripping Ji Tianhao of his status… what exactly was hidden in that village?
Ji Tianhao knelt on the ground, his face turning pale, heart ashen!
Tai Xuan nodded at the words and immediately said,
“In that case, I will strip him of his cultivation!”
But as soon as he finished speaking.
Ji Tianhao on the ground suddenly disappeared from where he was and appeared a kilometer away, tearing the void with a big hand, ready to flee!
He did not want to become a cripple!
His movements were extremely quick, shattering the void; he had already stepped into it!
Once the void channel was opened, even Saint Kings would have some trouble tracking him down.
However, Tai Xuan snorted coldly and raised his hand!
In an instant, an entire space was almost entirely locked down, and all the void channels suddenly exploded!
“Ah—” A shrill scream rang out, and Ji Tianhao fell from the void channel.
He crashed heavily onto the ground, coughing up blood, and the look in his eyes towards Tai Xuan was filled with horror as he said,
“No… you… you… Great Saint!?”
Great Saint!
The many Saint Monarchs and Saints of the Ji Family were also shocked.
Great Saint…
You must know, such a level of character, within the entire Ji Family…
No longer existed!
The three Saint Kings were the highest combat power!
Moreover, the lifespans of the three Saint Kings were almost at their end, meaning that the Ji Family was almost certain not to have another Great Saint.
However, today, just by entering the small mountain village once, Tai Xuan broke through to the Great Saint Realm?
This small mountain village… was too terrifying, wasn’t it?
They looked at Tai Xuan with immense reverence in their eyes, and then, they knelt in unison!
“Greetings, Great Saint!”
“Greetings, Great Saint!”
They called out in unison!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
“Obstinate and ignorant!”
Tai Xuan Da Sheng shook his head and immediately flicked his finger.
“Ah——”
Ji Tianhao let out a miserable scream, and in that moment, his entire cultivation level was erased; he fainted on the spot.
The expressions of the people around were complex.
Tai Xuan Da Sheng, at this moment, glanced over the crowd and said,
“The three of us have already ascertained that Ji Tianjing did not steal the ancestral artifact of our clan. On the contrary, he sacrificed his life and forgot about death. It can be said that without him, the ancestral artifact would not have appeared.”
“His descendants are the direct lineage of the Ancestor Emperor; the ancestral artifact rightfully belongs to them!”
He did not elaborate further, for the secret that the Ancestor Emperor had soared towards the future, borrowing an era of opportunity, could not be easily revealed!
At this moment, the various Saint Monarchs and Saints of the Ji Family were shocked, yet they dared not doubt his word.
Straight after, Tai Xuan Da Sheng solemnly looked towards Ji Yuanqing and, with utmost seriousness, clasped his hands in salute, saying,
“Please, the direct lineage of Ji Ancestor, return to the Ji Family and take up the position of the family head!”
He was extremely sincere!
The Taitian Saint King and Taigang Saint King also paid their respects and said,
“Please, the direct lineage of Ji Ancestor, return to the Ji Family and take up the position of the family head!”
Three powerful beings, bowing at the same time!
“You…you are a descendant of Tianjing?”
Ji Tianpan was also moved and said,
“Please, the direct lineage of Ji Ancestor, return to the Ji Family and take the position of family head!”
At that moment, all the others also began to speak in chorus.
Ji Yuanqing was suddenly stunned…
His expression was very complex.
Before this, he too had hoped…
But, after recent events, his heart had cooled.
He immediately shook his head and said,
“I have decided to lead our branch’s clansmen in service before the throne of the Lord of the Desolate Heavens.”
“Thank you, venerable ancestors, but I cannot return.”
He spoke to Tai Xuan Da Sheng and the others.
Their expressions were slightly disappointed.
If it weren’t for Ji Tianhao… why would Ji Yuanqing have left the clan?
“Being able to serve before the throne of the Lord of the Desolate Heavens is a supreme fortune,”
spoke Tai Xuan Da Sheng,
“thus, you will be the Saint Lord of the Ji Family, but need not personally manage Ji Family affairs… You may choose a trusted person to assume the position of the head on your behalf, how about that?”
His eyes carried a hint of earnestness!
The people of Ji Family had even more complex expressions; a Great Saint, at this moment… seemed somewhat humble?
What terrifying existence stood behind Ji Yuanqing…
Ji Yuanqing was also somewhat troubled!
“Senior Ji,”
at this time, Fire Spirit suddenly addressed Ji Yuanqing, saying,
“Senior Li had first bestowed great opportunity upon Tai Xuan Saint King and others, and then had you send Tai Xuan and others out… Perhaps, this is exactly what he intended!”
“Senior Li might have pity for the Ji Family, Ling’er feels that you need not refuse!”
Upon hearing this, Ji Yuanqing was taken aback.
So, Senior Li had let him send out his clansmen with such profound meaning?!
With this thought, he could only grit his teeth and say,
“Fine, if so, Yuanqing will respectfully comply with the wishes expressed.”
“However, I have one condition!”
Upon hearing this, Tai Xuan Da Sheng and the others were overjoyed and promptly said,
“Please speak, Saint Lord, we shall surely obey!”
Ji Yuanqing stated solemnly,
“The Ji Family, from top to bottom, must follow the decrees of the Desolate Heaven Alliance and serve the Lord of the Desolate Heavens!”
Tai Xuan Da Sheng, Taitian Saint King, and the others, upon hearing this, did not hesitate at all, clasping their hands in salutation and saying,
“We shall obey the command!”
They were even excited.
If anyone dared to say that the Ji Family should submit to someone, it would likely lead to a clan war!
But to work for the Lord of the Desolate Heavens? This was an enormous blessing!
They couldn’t even beg for such an opportunity!
“These two ladies are Miss Fire Spirit, the Alliance Hierarch of the Desolate Heaven Alliance, and Miss Mu Qianning!”
Ji Yuanqing immediately introduced Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning.
“We, pay our respects to the Alliance Hierarchs!”
Tai Xuan Da Sheng and the others paid their respects right away.
Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning looked at each other, their eyes also filled with complexity.
They had never imagined that one day… the Imperial Ji Family would become a part of the Desolate Heaven Alliance?
“This, perhaps, is also what Senior Li wished to see,”
said Mu Qianning.
Fire Spirit also took a deep breath and said,
“From this day forward, the Ji Family will be a member of the Desolate Heaven Alliance, together serving the Lord of the Desolate Heavens!”
…
At that moment,
within a mysterious great hall in the Immortal Domain,
the three Old Saint Kings of the Celestial Tribe were solemn to the extreme.
“Reporting to the three Saint Kings, the protective formation of this place has been fully activated,”
a middle-aged man said gravely.
This middle-aged man, was the Saint Lord of the Celestial Tribe, Tian Haochu!
The three Saint Kings, after their return, had secretly summoned the strongest of their tribe.
At this moment, all the strongest were already dispersed in various places, supporting the defensive formation of this place.
“Very well!”
One of the Old Saint Kings said,
“We shall forge the Imperial Bone for the Ancestor Emperor. This matter is top secret and must not be leaked to the outside world!”
“Let’s go, we shall enter the secret sanctuary!”
They disappeared instantly from their spot.
