Chapter 3562: Ancient Dao Sect Applies Pressure, Ji Tian Returns

~7 min read 1,344 words

"Ancient Dao Sect!"

Ji Nanshan, Ji Chengye, and others frowned upon hearing this.

Among the forces guarding the Boundless Sea, the Ancient Dao Sect is considered an extremely strong force.

However, their arrival is not a good thing for the Ji Clan.

Because the Ji Clan knows that the Ancient Dao Sect has long coveted their clan's top-tier Emperor weapon.

In a guest hall of the Ji Clan,

several figures sat leisurely.

They were all wearing ancient robes, with a calm and relaxed posture.

They are the elders and deacons of the Ancient Dao Sect.

On this side, clan head Ji Chengye, Ji Shuiyao, and others all appeared.

Ji Nanshan did not appear.

"Clan head Ji."

The leading Ancient Dao Sect elder revealed a faint smile.

Although he was smiling, he didn't even stand up, but sat there calmly.

"What is the intention of your Ancient Dao Sect coming here?"

Ji Nanshan said indifferently.

The Ancient Dao Sect elder didn't answer directly, but looked at Ji Shuiyao behind Ji Chengye.

He sighed: "The girl of the Ji Clan is indeed extremely water-like and moving, worthy of the title of the first beauty of New Moon City."

This remark seemed like praise, but it made Ji Shuiyao frown.

The Ancient Dao Sect elder said: "Clan head Ji, why pretend to be confused?"

"You should know what our Ancient Dao Sect's intention is coming here."

"This Ji girl has extraordinary talent, but your Ji Clan doesn't seem to have extra resources to cultivate her, right?"

"And our Ancient Dao Sect's Saint Son has taken a fancy to this girl and is willing to marry her."

"This girl will definitely get many resources for cultivation in our Ancient Dao Sect later."

"Even, the Ji Clan and our Ancient Dao Sect can unite and become one family; wouldn't that be good for both sides?"

The Ancient Dao Sect elder's words made Ji Chengye's face cold and hard like iron.

What marriage, it's nothing more than wanting to annex his Ji Clan.

Of course, the main thing is still the Ji Clan's top-tier Emperor weapon.

The Ancient Dao Sect has coveted it for a long time.

It's just that the Ji Clan is a family guarding the Boundless Sea and also bears the name of the Jun Clan's vassal force.

If the Ancient Dao Sect were to rob it openly, it would be a bit unreasonable.

Not only would it attract many accusations and damage their prestige,

but in the future, it might also give people something to talk about.

The Jun Clan is just not prominent in the vastness, not completely disappeared.

If they return in the future,

even if a Ji Clan is not enough for the Jun Clan to care about,

but as a vassal force, they wouldn't let it go easily.

So, the Ancient Dao Sect chose the way of marriage.

Even if there are any accidents later, they have a reason to say that the two families have already married.

At this time, Ji Shuiyao said: "Thank you for the kindness of the Ancient Dao Sect and that Saint Son, but unfortunately, Shuiyao knows she is not worthy, so..."

"Hey, Ji girl, don't belittle yourself."

"Our Ancient Dao Sect Saint Son is extremely satisfied with you."

"Even the day for the marriage has been chosen," the Ancient Dao Sect elder said.

"What..." Ji Shuiyao's face turned slightly pale.

"You are going a bit too far," Ji Chengye also said coldly.

He understood that the Ancient Dao Sect had chosen the time well.

They came to apply pressure just when their Ji Clan had another powerhouse fall.

Now, the entire Ji Clan's pillar is Ji Nanshan at the peak Emperor level.

And the Ancient Dao Sect has three peak-level Emperors!

It is even rumored that there is a transcendent Emperor-level ancestor.

Compared to those major forces in the center of the vastness, the top hundred races, etc., it might not count for much.

But in a remote place like the Boundless Sea,

three peak-level Emperors, plus one transcendent Emperor,

not to say they are kings, but they are definitely a behemoth.

This is also the reason why the Ji Clan is hard to resist.

Seeing Ji Chengye's face, the Ancient Dao Sect elder shook his head and smiled.

"I know that your Ji Clan is still immersed in the glory of the past."

"I know that you, the Ji Clan, are still wallowing in your past glory."

"But now, are you still holding onto useless delusions?"

"Let alone whether the Jun Clan will appear in the vastness again, even if they do, what kind of onion is your declining Ji Clan? They probably forgot about you long ago."

The Ancient Dao Sect elder's words were like sharp thorns, mercilessly piercing the hearts of the Ji Clan members present.

Because the Boundless Sea is far from the central area of the vastness, if one doesn't deliberately inquire,

the news of Jun Xiaoyao, a Jun Clan member, appearing didn't spread to the Boundless Sea that quickly.

Ji Shuiyao bit her jade lip and said: "But no matter what, our Ji Clan is ultimately the Jun Clan's vassal force."

"If the Jun Clan appears, they will not ignore us."

In Ji Shuiyao's heart, the Jun Clan is a family that stands tall.

How could they completely abandon their vassal forces?

"Heh..."

Hearing this, the Ancient Dao Sect elder sneered even more.

"Girl, you are still too young; are you still dreaming?"

"Do you still want to have any relationship with the Jun Clan people? Ridiculous!"

With the Jun Clan's status, any one of them who walks out is a dragon or phoenix among people.

Even if the Jun Clan reappeared, could a person like Ji Shuiyao climb the high branch of the Jun Clan?

The Ancient Dao Sect elder's mockery made Ji Shuiyao blush, and she also felt a sense of humiliation.

"Enough..."

Ji Chengye clenched his fists tightly, his expression cold.

And just at this time,

outside New Moon City,

a man appeared.

"New Moon City, long time no see; I actually have a trace of nostalgia."

This man's face looked ordinary, and his aura was even more restrained.

He belonged to the kind that couldn't be found in a crowd.

However, when he came to New Moon City,

some cultivators around looked at him and were stunned.

"That person... why does he feel like that one from the Ji Clan?"

"Is it really him? That Ji Tian who left the Ji Clan in a fit of anger has actually returned?"

When they saw this man, all the cultivators around were surprised.

In the early days, the matter of Ji Tian leaving the Ji Clan was also a big deal.

After all, Ji Tian was a rare genius and had quite a reputation in the entire Boundless Sea before.

His departure could be said to have dealt a not-so-small blow to the Ji Clan.

Others even mocked the Ji Clan, feeling that the Ji Clan was too pedantic and stubborn, even driving away the genius in the clan.

And now, after such a long time,

no one expected

No one had expected that Ji Tian would actually return.

"Why do I feel that this Ji Tian's aura has become increasingly unfathomable?"

"That's right, when Ji Tian left the Ji Clan, he was only at the Quasi-Emperor cultivation base; could he have already attained the Dao now?"

Many cultivators cast their gazes upon Ji Tian, all with a sense of appraisal.

Yet Ji Tian did not care in the slightest.

These people had no idea what he had experienced.

In short, his return this time was to set the Ji Clan back on the right track.

There was no need to continue following those pedantic orders and agreements.

And on the way to the Ji Clan, Ji Tian also learned about the Ancient Dao Sect coming to force a marriage.

Furthermore, the target was his cousin, Ji Shuiyao.

Ji Tian furrowed his brows, his figure instantly flashing away.
