339: Rongcheng Clan

Rongcheng Duandao looked deeply at Ji Wuchang, then smiled and spoke, "Little friend Ji, have you ever heard of my Rongcheng Clan?"

Ji Wuchang was slightly stunned and hurriedly shook his head; he truly had never heard of it!

A bitter smile appeared at the corner of Rongcheng Duandao's mouth, and a flash of anger crossed his eyes, but he finally spoke slowly.

"The Rongcheng Clan's founder, Rongchengzi, was one of the twelve capable ministers under Great Emperor Tianchen back then, in charge of calendar creation!"

"It can be said that the Rongcheng Clan was one of the strongest clans on the Tianchen Continent back then, on par with the Ji Clan, the Yu Clan, the Li Clan, and others."

"At its peak, the Rongcheng Clan was presided over by a Saint and had dozens of Supreme experts!"

"But then the Outer Realm Races invaded, and Great Emperor Tianchen led everyone to resist the foreign enemies together."

"After this battle, Great Emperor Tianchen fell, the Rongcheng Clan's Saint died in battle, and not even one in ten of the Supreme experts remained!"

"Originally, it was thought that they could recuperate after this battle, but a great war broke out between the Ji Clan and the Li Clan. The Rongcheng Clan had a close relationship with the Li Clan and was drawn into it!"

"After this battle ended, the Rongcheng Clan completely declined, with only one heavily injured Supreme leading the clansmen to flee!"

"But misfortunes never come singly; the Rongcheng Clan was targeted by the Hall of Ten Thousand Souls and fought several battles with them in succession."

"If strong reinforcements hadn't appeared in time later, the Rongcheng Clan would have already been wiped out."

"However, the Hall of Ten Thousand Souls placed a curse on the Rongcheng Clan, causing the person with the strongest Aptitude in every generation to suffer from Cold Poison and die!"

"Moreover, the Cold Poison grows stronger with each generation, and only after dozens of generations will there be a glimmer of hope for the final generation!"

"The Young Miss is the last generation of the Rongcheng Clan to endure the Cold Poison. If she dies, the Bloodline Power of the Rongcheng lineage will completely disappear!"

"If she can overcome the Cold Poison and Cultivate again, then the Rongcheng lineage can reactivate its Bloodline Power and restore the glory of the Old Ancestor!"

When Rongcheng Duandao said this, he stopped, a pained expression appearing on his face.

Cold Qi suddenly filled the air around him, making even Ji Wuchang shiver involuntarily.

Rongcheng Duandao seemed to have expected this; with a leap, he stood on top of a large tree not far away, and only then did the cold Qi on his body completely erupt.

With Rongcheng Duandao as the center, the large tree quickly froze.

The Big Black Bull stopped and let out occasional 'moo' sounds.

The carriage curtain was also pulled open, revealing Rongcheng Yiyun's pale face, which was filled with worry.

However, compared to yesterday, her complexion was clearly much better, and there was already a hint of color!

The cold Qi on Rongcheng Duandao's body was controlled by him in just a few minutes. He leaped down from the tree, his face turning slightly pale.

Rongcheng Duandao struck out with a palm, and the tree that had just been frozen was directly blasted into fragments!

Ji Wuchang sighed; he somewhat understood. Everyone in the entire Rongcheng Clan was under the power of a curse and had to endure the pain of Cold Poison.

But the pain of the Cold Poison each person had to endure was different.

He stood there stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say!

The carriage curtain was slowly lowered. Seeing that Rongcheng Duandao was fine, Rongcheng Yiyun finally felt relieved.

The carriage slowly moved forward again, and the cold Qi on Rongcheng Duandao's body gradually dissipated, finally disappearing completely as if it had never appeared.

"Little friend Ji, the reason I told you so much just now is actually because I have an unreasonable request!"

"Since Little friend Ji can help the Young Miss suppress the Cold Poison in her body, I would like to implore Young Master Ji to stay by our side for this period of time!"

"Of course, if Young Master Ji has things to attend to, feel free to do so. You don't need to worry about us; we will just follow!"

After Rongcheng Duandao finished speaking, he looked at Ji Wuchang, and a hint of pleading actually appeared in his eyes.

Ji Wuchang frowned slightly; to be honest, he felt very conflicted.

He had originally intended to bid them farewell shortly and rush to Xinglong City to participate in the Academy Dao Discussion!

Moreover, he also knew that Rongcheng Yiyun's Cold Poison was extremely terrifying; he had merely absorbed some cold Qi that had dissipated when her Cold Poison erupted.

The cold Qi contained within her body was at least several hundred times stronger than what had erupted.

Relying on himself to resolve it, he really didn't know how long it would take.

But he also knew that he was now their life-saving straw, and this trouble would not be easily shaken off.

"Ji Wuchang, agree to it!"

"Although the Rongcheng Clan has declined, a starved camel is still bigger than a horse; they still have a great deal of influence!"

"The Rongcheng Clan also has a big secret that I will tell you later. It can make your cultivation progress by leaps and bounds, and even allow you to directly cross a major Realm!"

Just as Ji Wuchang was in a dilemma, Ji Yaoyao's voice sounded in his ear, making him slightly stunned.

He didn't expect that Ji Yaoyao would actually want him to agree to this.

He naturally trusted Ji Yaoyao, so after thinking for a moment, he spoke to Rongcheng Duandao:

"Senior Broken Blade, to tell you the truth, I need to rush back to Xinglong City as soon as possible to participate in the Academy Dao Discussion."

"After this matter, I might join the Heavenly Star Sect!"

"If Senior Broken Blade can come with me, I am willing to lend a helping hand when Miss Yiyun's Cold Poison acts up!"

Rongcheng Duandao was actually quite worried that Ji Wuchang would refuse directly, as the other party was the only Opportunity they had found in all these years.

To them, Ji Wuchang was like a life-saving straw. Regardless of whether he could completely resolve Rongcheng Yiyun's Cold Poison, they had to keep him by their side first.

Now that Ji Wuchang said this, it was equivalent to agreeing, which made Rongcheng Duandao breathe a sigh of relief.

"Alright, everything will be done as you say. We will speed up our journey right now!"

Rongcheng Duandao spoke directly, a hint of joy appearing in his eyes!

Ji Wuchang's expression was calm. He agreed to Rongcheng Duandao for another reason: he had quite a few enemies now.

He couldn't see through Rongcheng Duandao, but his strength was bound to be high. By his estimation, the other party should at least be a Dao Severing Realm expert!

With such an expert by his side, his safety would have a greater guarantee.

Before Rongcheng Yiyun's Cold Poison was completely cleared, Rongcheng Duandao would never let anything happen to him.

Ji Wuchang sat on the Big Black Bull's back, and a powerful aura erupted from the bull.

At this moment, the Big Black Bull actually revealed the pressure of a Rank Six Vicious Beast.

The sound of wind rose beneath the Big Black Bull's four feet, and spiritual energy actually gathered automatically.

Just then, the Big Black Bull's four feet left the ground, and its body turned into a black light, pulling the carriage directly into the air.

Rongcheng Duandao sat on the carriage shaft and slowly closed his eyes, as if he were dozing off!

Ji Wuchang only felt the wind whistling in his ears. The Big Black Bull's speed was very fast; in just one stick of incense's time, it had run hundreds of miles.

Moreover, the Big Black Bull's speed was getting faster and faster. At this rate, they would be able to reach Xinglong City in about an hour!
