421: Pressuring him, he learned about the Ji family for the first time.
Ji Wuchang's cold words entered Ji Xiao's ears, and Ji Xiao was so frightened that his whole body trembled. He hurriedly nodded.
The moment he lowered his head, a cold light flashed deep in his eyes, but it dissipated in an instant!
“Young Master, rest assured, I would never dare to hide anything!”
Ji Xiao spoke hurriedly, then began to explain how things started!
“Young Master, I come from a branch of the Ji Family!”
“Young Master may not know, but the Ji Family is one of the strongest families on this continent!”
“As far as we know, Young Master, you are also a member of the Ji Family, but we don't know your specific identity!”
“However, our clan elders quietly mentioned that you are the son of someone with extremely high status in the Ji Family, and the Ji Family Bloodline flows through you.”
“But because your identity is special, there is significant controversy within the Family regarding whether to let you return to the Ji Family.”
“Our group of eleven came here following the Fifth Elder. It is a trial for us, but it is also a test for you from the Ji Family!”
Ji Xiao had just reached this point when he was interrupted by Ji Wuchang.
Ji Wuchang's brow furrowed slightly as he fell into deep thought, trying hard to recall memories of his previous life.
He could be certain that in his memories, there was not the slightest mention of anything regarding the Ji Family!
He stared coldly at Ji Xiao and spoke calmly, “You just said your group had eleven people, and I only killed five earlier!”
“Where are the other five? What are their cultivation levels?”
Hearing this, Ji Xiao quickly replied, “The remaining five are not at Star Chasing Mountain. The Fifth Elder arranged for them to participate in the Thousand Cities Great War.”
“As for their cultivation, they are all above us, but not by too much.”
“The strongest is Ji Yunshu. Young Master must be careful of this person. If I am not mistaken, he likely already has a third-layer Dao Severing Realm cultivation!”
“This person is an absolute Genius among the younger generation of the Ji Family. At the same Realm, he is almost invincible in the branch families; only some from the main Family can suppress him!”
“There is something strange about him. Once he encounters a crisis, his strength will instantly skyrocket!”
“Moreover, he is quite favored by the Fifth Elder and possesses many life-saving means.”
“He is the Young Miss's follower, discovered by her from the branch families!”
Ji Wuchang nodded slowly after hearing this, a trace of solemnity appearing in his eyes.
He could kill enemies above his level because, besides his extreme speed, he had pushed every step to the limit since the Acquired Realm.
Consequently, his combat power was naturally extremely formidable.
However, once he encountered a true Prodigy, this advantage would rapidly diminish or even disappear entirely.
Senior Sister Yu Ling was the best example.
In Senior Sister Yu Ling's hands, Ji Wuchang had almost never gained an advantage, and she had many techniques she hadn't even used.
“Who is this Young Miss you speak of?”
Ji Wuchang had a premonition that he would inevitably cross paths with this person in the future, and they might even be rivals.
He didn't know why, but this feeling was extremely strong.
“The Young Miss's name is Ji Zhiyi. She is a woman the Clan Chief brought back from outside and adopted as his daughter. Everyone in the Family calls her Young Miss!”
“I don't know how strong she is, but I know her combat power is terrifying. Even the elders of my branch Family are full of praise for her!”
“If it weren't for the fact that she is a woman and doesn't have the Ji Family Bloodline, she would have long ago been confirmed by the Family as the young clan chief!”
“But the Clan Chief's lineage is sparsely populated. Currently, she is the only one under the Clan Chief's knee. Her becoming the young clan chief is only a matter of time.”
Ji Xiao spoke quickly, while one of his hands slowly retracted into his sleeve, preparing something!
Ji Wuchang's gaze was cold. How could Ji Xiao's small movements hide from someone like him who had lived through two lives?
But it didn't matter. He had never intended to let the other person live from the start. If the other person sought their own death, that was for the best!
What Ji Family? Since they didn't come looking for him in his last life, he might not necessarily need them in this one!
“What is your Fifth Elder's name? What is his cultivation?”
Ji Wuchang spoke again, looking at Ji Xiao with calm eyes.
Hearing this, Ji Xiao hurriedly shook his head and said, “I cannot say that. He is a supreme realm expert. If I mention his name, he will sense it!”
“You don't know the terror of a supreme realm expert. Their means are divine. Once their name is spoken, they will sense it even from ten thousand miles away!”
“Of course, if the distance is far enough, there's no need to worry!”
Ji Wuchang was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but be startled.
Yaoyao had once mentioned this to him, but he had actually forgotten.
Yaoyao had said: “supreme realm experts have already mastered parts of the world's laws, and some can even make their Words Become Reality!”
“Items used by supreme realm experts, such as weapons or decrees, carry their aura and can similarly kill enemies. They are extremely terrifying!”
“A Supreme cannot be insulted. Every Supreme has their own terrifying means!”
“The reason Yaoyao could survive until now was naturally due to her own special means, and of course, it was inseparable from Venerable Fengxing's life-risking rescue!”
Thinking of this, Ji Wuchang remembered Yaoyao saying she had detected the aura of a supreme realm and told him not to contact her unless it was something special.
He had a premonition that the Fifth Elder Ji Xiao spoke of might very well be nearby.
At that thought, he felt the hairs on his body stand on end!
Just as Ji Wuchang guessed, Ji Boshang and Ji Yongming were currently in the sky above them. Ji Boshang's expression was quite ugly.
He hadn't expected this Ji Xiao to be so spineless and to reveal so many things.
Such a coward was simply not qualified to live in this world.
Fortunately, the person he told was Ji Wuchang. If it had been anyone else, Ji Boshang would have already acted to kill them both.
As for Ji Wuchang knowing, he didn't really care. After all, this was information Ji Wuchang had obtained through his own ability.
He would record all of this. This was also one of the ways for Ji Wuchang to increase his own bargaining chips!
“Do you have anything else to say?”
“If not, open up your Divine Soul. I need to leave a Divine Soul mark to feel at ease with you!”
Ji Wuchang's cold voice rang out.
Hearing this, Ji Xiao nodded hurriedly, then a flash of ferocity instantly crossed his eyes.
“I have one more thing to give the Young Master, and that is—go to hell!”
After Ji Xiao finished speaking, he waved the hand hidden in his sleeve, and a small blood-red sword appeared, flying straight for Ji Wuchang.
“With my blood, I sacrifice to the Life-Chasing Sword, never resting until death!”
Ji Xiao roared, slapping his own chest. A mouthful of fresh blood sprayed from his mouth, turning into a blood mist that directly covered the small blood-red sword.
After the small blood-red sword absorbed Ji Xiao's blood, blood-colored runes suddenly lit up on it.
These blood-colored runes buzzed and vibrated, and a terrifying killing intent spread from them.
The moment this killing intent erupted, the flowers, grass, and trees within several yards were instantly turned to powder.
