326: Ji clan genius
Bai Wuxiang gave an awkward smile, "Brother Wu, you worry too much. The people from Ziwei Heavenly Palace are not overbearing; they wouldn't go so far as to make things difficult for you."
"Since that's the case, then let's go take a look."
"This Ziwei Heavenly Palace, it's my first time here. It would be a shame not to experience it…"
Wu Ning nodded slightly and said smoothly.
"However, if the people from Ziwei Heavenly Palace make a move against you then, Brother Bai, please don't say we are close."
Bai Wuxiang sighed, "Brother Wu's words are truly hurtful…"
Little Liuli got up to pour immortal wine for the two of them, looking well-behaved and adorable.
Wu Ning glanced at her and chuckled, "A Liuli Immortal Body, an Immaculate Dao Heart. Brother Bai truly has good fortune. No matter where you go, you have such a beautiful woman accompanying you."
Bai Wuxiang's gaze fell on Little Liuli, and a smile touched his lips, "Thank you for the compliment, Brother Wu."
"However, with Brother Wu's peerless appearance, you must not lack female confidantes, right?"
"I can't compare to Brother Bai. Even that Ziwei Goddess is betrothed to you, which truly makes others envious."
"Yet, Brother Bai, you don't care at all, and even plan to break off the engagement. I wonder how many people will be shocked then."
Wu Ning said with a faint smile.
Bai Wuxiang shook his head slightly, "What kind of status does the Ziwei Goddess have? I, Bai, know I am not worthy of her."
"Moreover, Brother Wu, you might not know, but the Ziwei Goddess already has someone in her heart, and it's precisely that Wu Clan Dao Child who is famous throughout the heavens. This is no longer much of a secret."
"Compared to that person, what am I? Rather than being rejected, it's better if I take the initiative."
Speaking of this, he looked at Wu Ning with burning eyes, "By the way, Brother Wu, you are also from the Wu Clan. I heard that the Wu Clan Dao Child has already advanced to the Dao Lord Realm. Is that true?"
When he first met Wu Ning in the Burial God Abyss, Wu Ning introduced himself as "Wu Murong," and he didn't delve deeper, so he didn't know that he was the Wu Clan Dao Child.
"Naturally, it's true."
Wu Ning chuckled, "If Brother Bai wishes to meet my clan's Dao Child, I can introduce you."
Bai Wuxiang waved his hand, "That won't be necessary. As a mere Immortal Emperor, how can I get to know a Dao Lord Great Power?"
"Very well."
Wu Ning said no more.
Half a day later, the three of them left the restaurant and headed towards the inner city of Ziwei Holy City.
Bai Wuxiang held an immortal pass, and the three of them passed through without any obstruction.
The inner city's territory was no smaller than the outer city's. Most of its residents were the families of Ziwei Heavenly Palace's past Disciples, and after countless years of accumulation and reproduction, it had reached such a massive scale.
In the center of the inner city, there was a giant teleportation passage that led directly to the Thirty-Three Heavens.
Wu Ning and the other two strolled around the inner city for several days before slowly walking towards the central teleportation passage.
At the same time.
A massive, terrifying blue-feathered divine bird entered from the outer city and flew straight towards the center of the inner city.
Bai Wuxiang's gaze swept over, and his brows instantly furrowed slightly.
"Caw—"
The blue-feathered divine bird let out a soft cry, its wings trembling slightly, and it instantly shot to the front of the central teleportation passage.
On its back were several young men and women with extraordinary bearing.
"Ji Wuxiang, it's actually you?"
On the divine bird's back, a Hua Fu Youth with a profound aura immediately saw Bai Wuxiang and quickly controlled the blue-feathered divine bird to stop, looking at him with cold eyes.
"Ji Wuxiang, I haven't heard from you for so many years, I didn't expect you to still be alive?"
"You scoundrel actually dare to show up in Ziwei Heavenly Palace. Do you think we wouldn't dare to touch you here?"
At this moment, the other people on the divine bird's back also saw Bai Wuxiang, and coldness flashed in their eyes.
A hint of mockery flashed in Bai Wuxiang's eyes, and he said indifferently:
"Ji Wuxiang is already dead. My name is Bai Wuxiang. Don't make a mistake."
"Bai Wuxiang… you scoundrel actually have self-awareness. You are not worthy of the surname Ji!"
Wu Ning casually glanced at the few people on the divine bird's back: three men and two women. Except for the white-robed Young Master leading them, who was at the Immortal Emperor Realm Middle Stage, the other four were all at the Quasi Immortal Emperor Realm.
With such meager cultivation, he wondered where they got the courage to mock Bai Wuxiang, who was at the Immortal Emperor peak.
They probably still lived in the past, thinking that even if Bai Wuxiang, after escaping from the Ji Clan, had extraordinary talent, without the support of a powerful force, he couldn't possibly be that strong.
How could he compare to them, the Prodigies of the Ji Clan?
…
"Bai Wuxiang, surrender! If you obediently return to the clan with us to be punished, you can suffer less pain!"
The Hua Fu Youth stepped off the divine bird's back, standing in mid-air, looking down at Bai Wuxiang from above.
"Young Master…"
A divine sword appeared in Little Liuli's hand at some point. She looked at Bai Wuxiang, her eyes showing a questioning look.
"Hmm?"
The Hua Fu Youth's gaze immediately fell on Little Liuli. He said with interest, "You scoundrel, your luck with women is quite good. You actually have such a stunning little beauty by your side."
"Little beauty, I am Ji Feng of the Ji Clan. I happen to be in need of a personal maid. How about you follow me from now on?"
Killing intent flashed in Little Liuli's eyes. She looked at him coldly without speaking, completely different from her usual naive appearance.
Bai Wuxiang reached out and shielded her behind him, his voice cold, "Ji Feng, are you looking for death?"
Ji Feng sneered, "Bai Wuxiang, do you still think it's like before?"
"Once, your talent was extraordinary, and I was inferior to you. But now, with the clan's support, my cultivation has already reached the Quasi Immortal Emperor Peak, and I will be able to Breakthrough to Immortal Emperor soon."
"And you, a scoundrel who betrayed the Family, what do you have to fight me with?"
"Quasi Immortal Emperor, is it very strong?"
Bai Wuxiang's expression was disdainful; he was truly a frog at the bottom of a well.
"Whether it's strong or not, you'll know if you try!"
Boom!
Ji Feng's eyes were fierce, and a powerful Quasi Immortal Emperor Qi instantly erupted from his body.
"That's enough."
Just then, the white-robed Young Master on the divine bird's back spoke indifferently, "This trip is to attend the Ziwei Goddess's birthday. Other matters can be discussed later. We cannot be disrespectful in Ziwei Heavenly Palace."
Ji Feng immediately restrained his aura and coldly glanced at Bai Wuxiang, "Consider yourself lucky!"
"However, after the Goddess's birthday banquet ends, I wonder if you'll still have such good luck!"
After speaking, he turned and flew back onto the divine bird's back.
Bai Wuxiang's eyes were deep, constantly restraining something, and he didn't make a move.
The white-robed Young Master glanced at him indifferently, then controlled the blue-feathered divine bird and rushed into the teleportation passage.
As for Wu Ning beside Bai Wuxiang, he was like a transparent person; they merely glanced at him casually and didn't pay any attention at all.
…
"Brother Bai, you are too tolerant. If anyone dared to speak to me like that, I would have slapped them to death long ago."
Wu Ning said indifferently.
"I once promised my mother that unless absolutely necessary, I would not actively attack anyone from the Ji Clan."
Bai Wuxiang revealed a hint of bitterness.
This was something his mother asked him to promise before she died.
He knew his mother wanted to protect him. The Ji Clan was a vast power, and he was weak at that time. If he actively attacked someone from the Ji Clan, it would be no different than an egg hitting a rock.
He didn't want to go against his mother's dying wish, unless he possessed the strength to contend with the Ji Clan.
But currently, it was clearly far from enough.
Wu Ning said nothing more.
Subsequently, the three of them stepped into the teleportation passage, and their figures instantly disappeared.
