Chapter 230 Two slaps to suppress
On the top of the holy mountain, in the Ji family meeting hall.
There are many branches of the Ji family. Except for the brothers who are familiar with Ji Yunge and are accompanying Ji Yunge on his final journey, the rest of the elders and branches have gathered here.
Previously, they wanted to visit Ji Yunge. After all, the latter was the God of War of their Ji family and should be respected on the surface. However, the head of the family, Ji Daoxin, stopped them. Ji Daoxin saw that Ji Yunge could return to the family when he was dead and his spirit disappeared. It's just a nostalgia for certain things in the family.
As for the other people, they may not be able to attract his attention, but will get in the way.
After fighting for the Ji family all his life, before his death, Ji Daoxin hoped that he could leave quietly in the way he liked, without being contaminated by these worldly things.
At this moment, some elders gathered with the elders of each branch to discuss Ji Yunge's return.
"It's a pity that the Yunge War God is about to disappear. Otherwise, if this son returns the Yunge War God's soul, it can be regarded as a great contribution to our Ji family!"
"Yunge is afraid that he will break the rules if he wants to join the Ji family."
"In the beginning, for the sake of the Thirteenth Master, Ji Qingqing was not punished severely. As the legitimate daughter, she committed a serious crime. Now she is only imprisoned for a thousand years and given a lighter sentence. Now if her son is allowed to join the clan, I am afraid it will be a serious crime. What a sign of our clan’s decline!”
"Yes, once this precedent is broken, what will happen to other geniuses who marry foreigners in the future?"
Everyone was talking a lot, and most of them had opposing opinions. Some of them spoke out to incite, and they were secretly a faction headed by Ji Qingyuan.
Ever since Ji Qingyuan broke through the Four Realms one after another and became the new God of War of the Ji family, many people have become friends with him.
On the wicker chair next to Ji Daoxin, an old man with snow-white hair on the temples sat upright, with an air of calmness and authority between his eyebrows. It was Ji Qingyuan.
His eyes were indifferent, and he seemed not to be involved in the controversy, but his arrival and just a word of opposition at the beginning made those who gathered around understand his intentions and charge for him.
"I have promised Yun Ge about this. He is the God of War of my Ji family. He has worked hard for half his life fighting for the Ji family. Now that he can return to his hometown, isn't it worth thanking that young man?"
Ji Daoxin looked calm and said: "Besides, Qingqing's matter has been settled and there is no need to discuss it again. The young man has Qingqing blood in his body, but he is a foreigner. According to the rules, he should be executed, but he did not hesitate to risk execution. You all need to think carefully about escorting Yunge back."
"Master, that young man just wanted to use his escort service to join our Ji family."
An elder said: "It is clear at a glance that you put so much thought into it."
"That's right, trying to borrow the resources of my Ji family to take off is simply wishful thinking!"
An elder with a bad temper said that his grandfather's generation had also been brilliant.
"Everyone, God of War Yunge said before that that young man has a stunning appearance. If our Ji family can really get this talented person, it will not be a bad thing."
There were also people from Ji Yunge's lineage in the crowd who came to discuss things.
"Hmph, my Ji family has no shortage of geniuses. With the resources of our Ji family, even a genius with a little bit of intelligence can be cultivated into a genius. Why do we need such a half-blood hybrid?"
The grumpy elder from before snorted coldly.
As soon as this unceremonious insult came out, several people's faces suddenly changed and they looked sulky.
They are from Ji Yunge's lineage, and Ji Qingqing's children are also considered their juniors, and they are closer by blood.
However, the Ji family prohibits intermarriage, and many people have died or been imprisoned for this. Those with ordinary backgrounds are even more insulted. Although they are angry, they also know that getting angry over this matter will only anger more people.
"To take a step back, even if he is allowed to join the Ji family, will he be considered a concubine or a direct descendant?" an elder asked.
Hearing this, some of the people arguing looked at Ji Daoxin.
The previous arguments became quieter.
Ji Daoxin looked calm and glanced at Ji Qingyuan lightly, knowing that these words were the real reason why the other party came to condemn him.
Although the Ji family can deal with foreign enemies unanimously, the conflicts that have been accumulated within the family for thousands of years are still being resolved and chaotic. Especially because of blood and sacred bones, the treatment of legitimate concubines is very different.
For example, concubines can only live on floating islands outside the holy mountain.
Even Ji Qingyuan, a god of war figure, is the same and cannot stay in the Holy Mountain.
Including the character Qing in his name, he is clearly in a high and powerful position, but he is actually a head shorter than his direct descendants of the same age.
This is also because the overall distribution of the concubines of the Ji family is in the middle and lower levels of the Ji family, while the direct descendants hold the real power at the upper level and are generally stronger.
Although Ji Qingyuan is strong and has now become the God of War, he is still a commoner and cannot escape the flaws of his birth.
This difference between direct descendants and concubines has long been deeply rooted in the Ji family, and differences often bring about prejudice and arrogance.
For example, some ancestors are relatives of the emperor. Even if their descendants are homeless and have no food to eat, they will still show off that their ancestors are from an imperial family. They may even go crazy because of this, indulging in the glory of their ancestors and unwilling to accept the reality of their decline.
Or perhaps the ancient aristocracy, even in decline, still despised the suddenly rising wealthy merchants and considered them vulgar.
It is human nature to laugh at one's own strengths and weaknesses.
Even if you are useless and only have a beautiful skin, you will still comfort yourself by laughing at people who are full of economic status and wealth and power, and who are ugly and not as good as yourself.
Not to mention that the difference between direct descendants is indeed huge, and there are differences in strength in all aspects. This is also the reason why direct descendants can firmly occupy the upper echelons.
After all, there are very few examples of people like Ji Qingyuan who were born as commoners but accidentally awakened the sacred bones, and it was only the second example in thousands of years.
Being treated with arrogance for a long time will inevitably breed anger and hatred.
Therefore, Ji Daoxin had already seen through Ji Qingyuan's thoughts and could empathize with him, but he understood that this was a dead end and only a saint could break it.
And he is not a saint. Unless the ancestor is resurrected and can change the situation with the power of the saint's preaching, otherwise the grievances between the descendants will exist forever because of the existence of blood and holy bones.
Now, the young man's coming here is just a gap in the grievances between the Ji family's direct descendants.
The problem is not with the young man, but in Ji Qingyuan's heart, and also in the grievances accumulated by the Ji family over thousands of years.
After a long silence, Ji Daoxin said: "He is Ji Qingqing's child, so he should be a direct descendant, but specifically, we can depend on the concentration of his bloodline. I heard that Yun Ge said that he has the appearance of a genius, and he may have me in his body. The Ji family’s sacred bones are also unknown.”
"If he is born with a holy bone, he should be included in the direct line. If there is no holy bone and his qualifications are ordinary, he will be a commoner. What do you think?"
After hearing his words, many elders' eyes flickered and they communicated with each other.
Ji Qingyuan felt Ji Daoxin's gaze and knew that the person he was really asking about was herself.
But he remained calm and made no statement.
"Master, if he is a concubine, then if he wants to be the genius of our Ji family, it depends on his own strength!"
An elder said.
"That's right. Escorting Yunge War God back can only save his life at most. It's a good thing we didn't execute him. The blood of foreigners who have had an affair dares to come to my Ji family to defile them. Their intentions are ridiculous!"
"Do you agree with him entering the Ji family? I don't agree. Even if he is a concubine, he is not worthy!"
"If you have a foreign bloodline and marry a concubine of my Ji family in the future, wouldn't your bloodline be weaker?"
Everyone started talking again.
Seeing that Ji Qingyuan was indifferent, Ji Daoxin narrowed his eyes slightly, his face became slightly gloomy, and said:
"That's enough!"
The two words were not serious, but they instantly silenced the voices present.
These elders were neither unreasonable nor reckless. They all spoke with purpose and intention. At this moment, seeing that the family leader was being angered, their expressions changed slightly.
"If you have any opinions, let the elders' assembly vote!" Ji Daoxin said with a cold face.
After hearing this, many people's expressions changed slightly. Among the elders, the number of direct descendants was the largest. If a meeting was held and Ji Yunge's lineage came forward to spread the favor, the final decision might make that young man directly become a direct descendant!
They are quarreling now because they hope to skip the elders' meeting directly. After all, every time the elders' meeting is held, it is not a good thing for the Ji family and has a greater impact. Many elders are either in retreat or guarding one side, and not all of them can come.
But once the conference was held, those elders had to be summoned.
Ji Qingyuan narrowed his eyes slightly and said slowly: "Everyone, since the head of the family has made a decision before, I agree with the head of the family."
"In our Ji family, we only respect the strong. Whether he is a direct descendant or a concubine depends on whether the young man is strong or weak!"
"If he has a holy bone, wouldn't it be ridiculous to expel him from my Ji family? If it spreads to other ancient saint clans, I'm afraid it will make people laugh out loud!"
"Since Yunge War God favors him so much, he must have some merits. Why not let Qingshuang test him."
He didn't speak before, but now that he said something, the place fell silent.
Ji Daoxin's eyes narrowed slightly, and the words "the strong are only respected" in the other party's words obviously meant something.
The latter is already the God of War, but still bears the name of a concubine. This is to take the opportunity to tell others that a powerful concubine is not inferior to his direct descendants. His purpose is to let his descendants enjoy the same treatment as his direct descendants!
Although Ji Qingyuan is now known as the God of War and no one dares to look down upon him face to face, the other party's move is to speak out for the other concubines who supported him on the road to success.
Thinking of all the things involved, Ji Daoxin secretly sighed in his heart, knowing that a war between prostitutes and concubines broke out in the Ji family thousands of years ago, and he was afraid that it would happen again.
"What Qingyuan War God said makes sense. There are countless monsters in our wilderness. The weak prey on the strong. Since ancient times, the strong have been respected and the weak have bowed!"
"That's right, it depends on whether the boy is strong or weak."
Many high-ranking officials immediately spoke up and felt refreshed after repeating Ji Qingyuan's words.
There are also weak people in the direct lineage, and there are strong people in the concubine family, but the strong people in the concubine family always feel that they are a little short in front of the direct lineage. This feeling of depression and anger has long made them feel aggrieved.
Originally, the senior officials of the Ji family, who had nothing to do with Ji Yunge or Ji Qingyuan, wanted to speak up and discuss it from an "objective" perspective. However, seeing that Ji Qingyuan and the head of the family had reached a consensus, they knew that there was no need to discuss it further.
"In that case..."
Ji Daoxin was about to speak when suddenly a figure rushed from outside the meeting hall and stopped at the door:
"Report to the head of the family, something happened down the mountain."
"Um?"
Ji Daoxin was slightly startled, and his spiritual thoughts quickly enveloped him. He did not ask, but directly investigated.
"What's up?"
The elder next to him didn't dare to release his spiritual thoughts so unscrupulously, covering the entire holy mountain, and asked doubtfully.
"Ji Yu Fen Tianjiao is fighting with that outsider!" the guard who reported the news said quickly.
Hearing this, everyone was stunned and looked at each other. An elder asked: "Is the outsider you are talking about the young man who sent Yunge War God back?"
"Yes, it's him." The guard nodded.
"This is simply unreasonable!"
"You actually dare to fight with my Ji family's genius when you first come here. It's so arrogant!"
"That's fine, let Ji Yufen teach him a lesson, so that he doesn't have to worry about the world. Isn't my Ji family a place where he can act wildly?"
Many people became angry.
Ji Qingyuan stood up and noticed that Ji Daoxin was using his spiritual sense to explore, but he was not Ji Daoxin, nor was he a direct descendant of the Ji family. Although he was the God of War, he could not explore everywhere in this holy mountain. He immediately cupped his hands slightly and said:
"I originally wanted Qingshuang to test it, but it doesn't seem to be necessary now. I'll go and see how this genius is doing. The half-blood of his direct lineage should also be very powerful."
With that said, he smiled faintly, said goodbye to the master of the family, and left outside the palace.
As he stood up, everyone else said goodbye to the head of the family without further delay, and set off to watch the show.
"That child..."
Several people of Ji Yunge's background also changed their expressions slightly. They didn't expect the child to be so impulsive. They quickly stood up to say goodbye and hurried away to avoid the other party suffering a lot.
The others looked at Ji Daoxin, but saw a slightly surprised look on his face, and did not stop Ji Qingyuan and others from leaving.
…
…
Bang!
A figure suddenly flew out, broke through the door panel of the guest reception hall, and rolled down to the street outside the hall.
Next to him, a young man stood with his hands behind his back, his face changed slightly, and he looked forward gloomily.
Outside the door, Ji Boduan's expression also changed. He didn't bother to help the young man who rolled out, and quickly ran to the middle of the people in the hall: "Everyone, calm down, this is the guest reception hall, and no force is allowed."
"Get away!"
The young man standing with his hands behind his back said directly.
Ji Boduan's expression changed, a little ugly.
The young man ignored him, but stared closely at the young man sitting peacefully in front of him. He had previously asked the pursuer beside him to do something, but he was too lazy to get his hands dirty. Unexpectedly, the other party was very powerful and could easily kill this young man. A seeker was defeated.
The young man was none other than Ji Yufen, one of the geniuses of the Ji family. Seeing that he was similar in age to Li Hao, he wanted to come and teach him a lesson. After all, he would not be called a bully.
The pursuers around him are also geniuses of the Ji family, but they are still a little short of the genius, so they choose to follow the genius. In the future, when the genius rises to the top, these pursuers will also benefit and may be promoted to the top of the Ji family.
"It seems like you really have something. No wonder you dare to be so arrogant. Do you think you can squeeze into our Ji family just by doing this?"
Ji Yufen said with cold eyes.
He strode towards Li Hao, wanting to teach Li Hao a lesson himself.
"Master Yu Fen, you can't break the rules..."
Ji Boduan quickly stepped forward to stop him.
"roll!"
Ji Yu Fen suddenly burst out with momentum. At such a young age, he actually exuded the aura of the Three Immortal Realms, and climbed to the top, reaching the Immortal Realm!
He yelled angrily, knocking Ji Boduan back, then stepped out like a dragon and stood in front of Li Hao.
"It's still too late to change your surname and get out of the Ji family!"
He was condescending, looking down at the young man sitting upright in front of him.
Li Hao paused for a moment as he held the tea cup for guests.
"Who are you?"
Li Hao turned to look at him.
"You don't need to know who I am, and you don't deserve to know!" Ji Yufen's eyes were cold.
Li Hao withdrew his gaze calmly, raised his head and drank the tea in the cup before saying: "I ask who you are, not because I really want to know who you are, but I just want to say, what are you? Who cares what my last name is?"
"Because this is the Ji family, and because you are a bastard, you don't deserve the surname Ji!"
Ji Yufen said angrily.
A cold light flashed across Li Hao's eyes. He glanced at the angry-faced young man, then slowly put down the teacup and stood up slowly.
Ji Yufen was not in a hurry to take action and was unwilling to make a sneak attack.
As a genius, he has his own pride.
He looked angrily at Li Hao, who was shorter than him when he was sitting, but now stood taller than him. The other person was not as old as him, but taller than him.
This made Ji Yufen's face look a little ugly.
"It seems that the Ji family's family training is generally not very good." Li Hao said softly.
Immediately before the young man in front of him could get angry, there was a loud slap in the face.
Ji Yufen's head tilted to the side, his brain was buzzing, and blood sprayed from his mouth. The "Kun Yu Treasure Body" he practiced was actually broken by Li Hao's slap.
"It's hard to do anything, I'll educate you for your parents."
Li Hao's eyes were indifferent, and then he raised his head to look outside the guest reception hall. Feeling the atmosphere of the crowds, he said coldly: "Whose child is this? Do you want me to kill him on the spot before you come to collect it?" Corpse!"
Hearing Li Hao's words, everyone outside the hall was shocked. Many of them saw this scene through their souls. Ji Yufen, who was similar in age to Li Hao, was actually slapped in the face by Li Hao!
“You, you!”
At this moment, Ji Yufen also reacted, with a look of disbelief on his face, but then he felt that the blood all over his body seemed to be rushing straight to the top of his head, and he felt like he was going to explode.
"You are looking for death!!"
He roared, and the breath all over his body suddenly surged. In an instant, his flesh and blood swelled, making a crackling sound.
Behind it, the shadow of an ancient ferocious beast, Kunpeng, appeared, containing extremely ferocious and violent power.
But before he could take action, a second round of applause followed.
This time, he slapped his head directly into the stone slab at Li Hao's feet and smashed it in deeply!
The phantom of Kunpeng was also slapped away and turned into a phantom.
"Why, do you have to be beaten to death by me?"
Li Hao retracted his palm and slowly glanced outside with cold eyes.
The people who came to watch earlier almost screamed in surprise. It was unbelievable that this young man actually suppressed Ji Yufen with a raise of his hand and slapped him unconscious with two hands!
Next to him, Ji Boduan's eyes widened in shock, a little stunned.
Although he knew that Li Hao would escort Ji Yunge back, with Ji Yunge's strength, it was not certain who would escort whom.
As for the age of this young man, he is only fifteen or sixteen years old. Even if he is a prodigy of the Ji family, like Ji Yufen, he is one of the youngest among the prodigies. In a declining state, it is possible to realize the Tao Heart at any time.
But at this moment, he was easily defeated by Li Hao?
“What a arrogant tone!”
In the high sky outside the hall, several figures appeared, exuding a majestic aura, without hiding it.
They have extraordinary clothes, majestic air, and cold eyes. They are all the geniuses of each branch of the Ji family.
"This is the Ji family. How dare you hurt people at will? Did you secretly learn my Ji family's skills from your mother? In that case, don't blame me for bullying the big ones and being rude!"
One of the young men stepped out, and the power in his body was suddenly revealed, and it was the aura of Si Lijing.
Everyone who came from far and near to watch was astonished.
"That's Ji Mingque, he's considered a strong one among the geniuses."
"That foreign kid just defeated Ji Yu and Fen Tianjiao, he seems to be quite strong!"
"Without any means, War God Yunge wouldn't praise him so highly. He said that he will become the pride of our Ji family. It seems that he is indeed capable."
"However, does this person think that my Ji family is just a poor place where he used to stay? Even if he is a genius, he has to lie down and be submissive in my Ji family!"
"I think that since this person escorted Yunge War God back, he has done a service to my Ji family after all. Wouldn't it be inappropriate to treat him like this?"
Many people's souls flew out, watching this place from a distance, and talking about it.
Li Hao frowned slightly. He didn't expect that the Ji family was so xenophobic. He thought that most people would be as reasonable and reasonable as Ji Yunge. It seemed that Ji Yunge was only a small part of the Ji family.
"Yunge War God said you are a genius, right? In that case, if you want to join my Ji family and join me and others, it depends on whether you have the ability!"
The young man named Ji Mingque had cold eyes and stood in the void looking down at Li Hao. He was more mature than Ji Yufen and did not rashly use his own dissatisfaction as a reason to attack before the superiors said anything about how to deal with Li Hao.
"Wouldn't it be an insult to me to be placed side by side with you and others?"
Li Hao said quietly.
"You're looking for death!"
Ji Mingque was startled for a moment, and a cold light suddenly shone in his eyes. He thought they were already proud enough, but in the end, the young man in front of him turned out to be even more arrogant!
"If you can block my shot, I will recognize you!"
He suddenly took action and pulled out the spear, revealing the space between heaven and earth.
The gun light condensed, containing the ultimate power of martial arts. The terrifying gun power condensed into a point and suddenly swung towards Li Hao.
