Chapter 638: Chapter 638
"Today is not suitable for combat, both parties should step back for now."
An elder, with hands clasped behind his back and an imposing demeanor, suddenly fixated his gaze on Ji Jingqiu.
Ji Jingqiu momentarily countered the oppressive force of heaven and earth using the Heaven and Earth Dojo!
The elder slightly smiled and nodded: "Truly worthy of being our Federation’s Heavenly Pride."
Although it was only for a moment, the difference was fundamental.
He waved his hand, dispelling the gathered Power of Heaven and Earth, returning everything to nothingness.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please take your seats. There are still guests on their way, let’s not delay the auspicious time."
A young man entered, his speech mild yet undeniable, to the point where even Ke Jiran, who was the host, bowed his head in respect and respectfully called out "Little Ancestor."
The newcomer was naturally Ke Pingluan.
With a Heavenly Person and a Great Grandmaster of the Ke family taking the lead, everyone had to show respect since this was the Ke Family Ancestor Star.
"Ji, please join me in the seat of honor," invited Ke Pingluan.
The conflict halted by Heavenly Person Ji Jingqiu lightly nodded and passed by Tianqingzi.
At that moment, Tianqingzi suddenly used Spirit Communication to pass a message to Ji Jingqiu then also turned his head back to his side.
Ji Jingqiu’s expression briefly hesitated, then returned to normal, but he felt somewhat strange inside.
Just now, this Heart Image expert from the Three Thousand Yanfu had sent him a message.
"Thank you Ji for removing my junior, Lord Tianyang, from my path. In the future, we might have opportunities to cooperate."
Wow, serious business!
But speaking of it...
Ji Jingqiu, with a puzzled look, used Spirit Communication without a trace.
"Which one is Lord Tianyang?"
The figure who was walking towards his companions suddenly stumbled, awkwardly rejecting the help from the others.
The remaining five had serious expressions. Given Tianqingzi’s past reputation, they had always felt he had not exerted his full strength due to some reservations, but now...
Even Tianqingzi, a steady Heavenly Person nearly at the Heart Image Peak, suffered internal injuries at the hands of Ji Jingqiu?
Tianqingzi turned back and gave Ji Jingqiu a deep look, confirming he wasn’t joking.
He couldn’t help but laugh at himself.
Did even his outstandingly talented junior ultimately fail to leave even the slightest mark in Ji’s mind?
With the death of Lord Tianyang, even someone like him now qualified to vie for the inheritance of the Supreme Method.
Ji Jingqiu was very honest; he really didn’t remember who "Lord Tianyang" mentioned by the other was.
But perhaps, it was a Martial Artist from the final trial on the Ancient Road?
Ji Jingqiu seemed to recall something.
During the day of the final trial, while he was chasing a Goddess from the Four Gods Church, she had escaped for most of the day and seemed to have called out that name.
"Lord Tianyang! Join forces with me to slay this fiend!"
Ji Jingqiu sighed softly.
What grudge, what enmity? To cross the entire battlefield just to drag someone else down.
He refused to take the blame for this, suggesting they go settle the account with the Wilderness Four Demons at Heavenly Saint Lake.
Ji Jingqiu and Ke Pingluan sat together in the seat of honor.
"Thank you, Ji," Ke Pingluan transmitted his gratitude.
"A trivial matter," Ji Jingqiu responded with a bright smile, "we must discuss some philosophies together later."
Ke Pingluan’s eyes shimmered with intensity but did not refuse.
The banquet was yet to start; it was a good chance for Ji Jingqiu to inquire about Ke Pingluan’s views on certain matters face-to-face.
Among them were their attitudes concerning the All Realms and the internal disturbances and strife within the Ke family.
"As for certain things, the attitudes of the families indeed vary."
Ke Pingluan sighed softly,
"In fact, my grandfather has always believed that we, the descendants, should accomplish something noteworthy, not being inferior to our ancestors; under such family guidance..."
Ji Jingqiu understood; Ke Pingluan’s appearance was basically out of a typical "not content with obscurity" scenario from those of the Ke family.
No wonder the people of the Ke family were never quite obedient...
"As for the Mu Family’s representative, he had always held one belief, he thinks for us ’spoiled rich kids,’ the most successful venture is not to venture at all."
"And since he is the oldest Great Grandmaster remaining in the Federation, with him around, many ideas like my grandfather’s were suppressed."
"Now that he has passed... certain individuals from the Six Great Families being restless is inevitable; not to mention longevity, how many can resist the worldly temptations?"
Hearing this, Ke Pingluan also couldn’t help but fall silent.
He hated these messy affairs, yet now as the highest-ranking person in the Ke family, he had to step forward to ’administer justice’ on behalf of some.
Ji Jingqiu remained silent, then silently commended.
Truly a venerable elder from the Mu Family.
Seeing right through it all!
