Chapter 624: Chapter 624

The origin lies in the curse that the Wilderness Evil Gods cast upon the Seven Marshals back then.

"The Daoist Collection of East Three Bright Star is very precious, but unfortunately, it has fallen into the hands of Ji Jingqiu. The Ji Family is powerless, letting such an important resource slip into the hands of others."

Li Yinghai muttered to himself:

"The true value of that passageway is not just its direct access to the Nine States, but more importantly, it is Marshal He's legacy, containing Marshal He's connections. That is what's truly invaluable."

"That side is very interested in Ji Jingqiu and East Three Bright Star, believing his rise to power is too rapid. Perhaps he has obtained something left by Marshal He, or an important inheritance."

"If we want to solve our bloodline issues through Hel, we must bypass the Divine Weapon left by Marshal He..."

Li Yinghai said calmly:

"Mr. Mao can rest assured, I won't appear in the forefront of this matter."

A communication from a hidden channel rang out.

Li Yinghai answered, his expression changed, and he abruptly turned back, looking towards the place where he had agreed to meet Ji Jingqiu.

"What's up?" Mao Yanqing asked.

With his status, he naturally wouldn't eavesdrop on Li Yinghai's communications, usually muting his own senses.

Li Yinghai calmed his rapid breathing and said, "Mr. Mao, if you were to take down Ji Jingqiu now, how confident are you?"

Mao Yanqing's eyes hardened, and he said in a deep voice, "Are you serious?"

As Li Yinghai nodded gravely.

Mao Yanqing was silent for a moment, then shook his head: "With Sui Canghai around, and considering this place is the Ancestor Star of the Tianyang Dojo, and this generation's Tianyangzi is still present, Tianyangzi will not stand by if I clash with Sui Canghai. This matter can't be done."

Mao Yanqing looked deeply at Li Yinghai and asked,

"Do you have a legal reason to take down this young man? Can you offer an explanation to all parties? This is the Federation, where law and order still exist, not the Li Family's world where 'I Am Supreme.'"

Li Yinghai fell silent for a long time, then suddenly said: "If the Ke family's idea from the past years could be realized, it would actually be a good thing."

Mao Yanqing remained silent but was also curious about why Li Yinghai suddenly wanted to take down Ji Jingqiu.

Li Yinghai's brows were furrowed, seemingly puzzled and shocked himself, he explained to Mao Yanqing:

"There's news from that side, some of the Ten Directions Sects and even a True Saint Dojo, had put out a bounty on Emperor Heaven Nine Palaces' Ji Jingqiu a few months ago. This message only recently reached the Federation."

Mao Yanqing's complexion was visibly shaken.

Why would Ji Jingqiu, no matter how remarkable, alert the True Saint Dojo and the Ten Directions Sects?!

And even warrant a bounty?

"What's next..." Mao Yanqing said with a grave expression.

Li Yinghai shook his head: "We don't do things that stick out."

He suddenly sneered: "Don't look at Ji Jingqiu's current rise to fame, surrounded by glory as if bestowed by splendid fire and oil, but there are also many who have their eyes on him!"

"The Four Gods Church had also put out a bounty notice for Ji Jingqiu quite early!"

Before parting, Ke Jiran handed Ji Jingqiu an invitation card.

"In a month, the Ke family's 'Dream Night-blooming Cereus' will bloom, and as per tradition, we will invite important figures from all parties to enjoy the event. Ji was not originally included in the invitations, but we are making an exception and hope you will honor us with your presence."

Upon hearing that the so-called 'Dream Night-blooming Cereus' was like the Daoxuan Tea Tree, vaguely transcending the category of Heavenly Medicine and into the realm of Demigod Medicine, Ji Jingqiu immediately accepted the invitation without further declination.

Ji Jingqiu cordially bid farewell to Ke Jiran, then asked Lady La in his mind if she understood the Six Great Families of the Federation.

For instance, how strong was the foundation of the Six Great Families?

[The Six Great Families, led by Mu and Ji, with the other four following suit.]

[The reason Mu and Ji lead is that those bastards from the Mu Family and the scum from the Ji Family stayed in the mortal world the longest, leaving behind the deepest legacies.]

[Ten thousand years ago, the Yanhuang Federation was indeed prominent with seven individuals, and back then, not to mention the Nine Palaces, just He Donghuang alone would pressure many Overlord Forces of the Southern Wilderness Continent to keep quiet.]

[But the bigger the fame, the easier it is to attract malice. When He Donghuang faced problems during his breakthrough, it wasn't just the other three who took action. Some powers from the Three Thousand Yanfu Realms also 'contributed.']

After listening to Lady La's explanation, Ji Jingqiu nodded.

He had also heard a saying from the Elf girl Mu Rouzhi when he was in the Po Suo Half-plane.

——Purely in terms of heritage, any of the Six Great Families could match the royalty of a first-rate civilization of the Great Universe.

This legacy naturally came from the Seven Marshals of the past.

Such as the Divine Weapons left by the Seven Marshals.

He suspected that just those few Divine Weapons alone would possess strength beyond the Seven Realms.

However, he heard that Elder Mu and the others took several Divine Weapons with them when they left this time, and he wondered how many were left in the Federation.

He slightly reviewed the meeting of the day.

There was no need to mention the attitude of the Li Family.

Originally, he thought that the two had come together, one to play good cop, the other bad cop.

But the reaction of Li Yinghai as he walked out the door was very subtle; the two were indeed not from the same faction.

Ji Jingqiu shook his head slightly.

He didn't take Li Yinghai to heart, as the man lacked respect for a peerless genius and was not worth mentioning.

In a novel, that would pave the path to death!

As for the Ke family's attitude...

Ji Jingqiu suspected that this might involve Ke Pingluan's influence and even that Ke Pingluan was fanning the flames, wanting him to be forever inferior.

At this time, Sui Canghai had also returned and gave him a word of warning:

"You need to be careful with the Ke family."

Ji Jingqiu was quite surprised.

He originally thought Sui Canghai would warn him to be careful of the Li Family, especially since the Li Family had previously clashed with Master Sui and Senior Zhuang.

"A hundred years ago, the Ke family truly harbored the ambition to overthrow the official government and establish a dictatorship, even proposing that the Six Great Families become the royal lineage, taking turns to wield power."
