Chapter 439 Chapter 35 Ji Le Ping

The figure rushed forward rapidly, looking disheveled but with a face filled with excitement. He dashed up to Ji Yun Ge, tears streaking down his aged face:

“Third brother, you’ve finally returned!”

Seeing the old man’s tearful excitement, some people who had gathered around were also astonished. Aside from Ji Yun Ge’s funeral decades ago, they had once again seen this resolute Ji Family War God shedding tears.

“Heavenly Dynasty!”

Ji Yun Ge’s ethereal body also trembled slightly as brotherly reunions brought back a flood of memories.

Meanwhile, on the other floating islands surrounding Sacred Mountain, news swiftly spread through the lofty palaces.

The former War God of the Ji Family, Ji Yun Ge, had returned!

The entire upper echelon of the Ji Family was stirred up, all congregating at Sacred Mountain, making it incredibly bustling.

In front of the Ji Family Ancestral Hall, there were throngs of people, many coming to visit the War God who had perished decades earlier.

Along the way, Ji Yun Ge spoke with his brothers and wife, discussing the events of the years they had missed.

Other sons, daughters-in-law, and grandchildren followed behind the elders, listened quietly without interrupting, only occasionally whispering inquiries in confusion.

Ji Tian Chao and others were emotionally stirred, but they did not interrupt each other. They had countless questions they wanted to ask Ji Yun Ge.

Where had he been these years? How had he been? How did he return? Everyone missed you dearly… and so on, endless things to say.

Ji Yun Ge also shared his experiences over the years, as well as his reasons for returning.

When they learned that Ji Yun Ge had truly been detained by the Meng River, everyone was both shocked and relieved.

Initially, when Ji Yun Ge had fallen in battle, they searched everywhere for his spirit but found nothing, guessing it might have been swept into the Meng River.

Stay tuned to empire

“A Youdu Level Meng River, someone actually cleared it?”

“That young man, who is he, which clan’s prodigy?”

“What? He is from our Ji Family?!”

“Qingqing’s child?!”

As Ji Yun Ge spoke, the crowd grew even more astounded.

The Youdu Level Meng River, their Ancient Holy Clan was not interested, yet they knew that even the Grand Tao of Peace Realm might not be able to clear it, at best they could destroy it, or even if luck was bad, they might fall within it!

And in the Ancient Family, the Grand Tao of Peace Realm was considered top-notch combat power.

Who would want to sacrifice such strength for an unnecessary risk?

Keep in mind, hunting Demons within the Meng River grants no benefit, those Demons are mostly the detained souls, vanishing upon being slain, as long as the Meng River hasn’t been cleared, with its next opening, these souls would reappear.

And hunting a Great Demon King outside at least brings a trove of treasures from its corpse, benefiting the family for generations.

The Great Wilderness Heaven is riddled with numerous Demons, living more perilously. The Ancient Holy Clan might sound imposing, but many things still needed to be managed with tight calculations, not wasting upper-level strength without cause.

Moreover, there was another reason: the Meng River Merit Treasure Vault in Great Wilderness Heaven had been sealed during the Holy War ten thousand years ago!

Even if someone later cleared a Youdu Level Meng River, accumulating a hundred thousand merits, it still couldn’t be reopened, leading to the Meng River in Great Wilderness Heaven being ignored, avoided when possible to not waste effort.

“What cultivation level does that child have, to be able to clear a Youdu Level Meng River?”

“Qingqing actually has a child, we only knew she had privately married into another race, never thought she actually bore offspring!”

Ji Tian Chao and others wore faces of surprise, with complex gazes.

Ji Qingqing was Old Thirteenth’s daughter, who had early on hunted Great Demon Kings for the family, but unfortunately was attacked and fell by a savage beast.

Fortunately, her spirit returned to the Ancestral Hall, and wasn’t swept away by the Meng River.

Not long ago, Ji Qingqing’s whereabouts were exposed beyond the Great Wilderness Heaven, and upon being brought back to the family, they learned she had secretly married into another race.

Out of respect for Old Thirteenth, his brothers helped cover up the news, not spreading it widely within the Ji Family, but they couldn’t keep it from other high-ranking members, so according to family rules, Ji Qingqing was imprisoned.

However, they didn’t plan to imprison her for life, just a thousand years as a punishment.

This was already considered a mild sentence.

Unexpectedly, Ji Qingqing actually had a child who now came knocking at their door.

But since this child had brought Ji Yun Ge back, he might also be considered as having rendered a great service to the Ji Family.

“Right, that child is fifteen this year, already at the Three Immortal Realms, and he can slay Demon Kings, his strength is not even weaker than the Ultimate Study Realm!”

Referring to Li Hao, Ji Yun Ge’s face lit up with a smile, saying:

“I know the family rules, but that child is truly an exceptional prodigy, the most outstanding child I have ever seen, both in temperament and talent, top-notch!”

“I hope you can look after him, having such a Qilin child in our Ji Family, we will surely soar to great heights in the future, reviving the glory of our Prime Ancestor Saint!”

Hearing his high praises, the crowd was also shocked.

A fifteen-year-old at the Three Immortal Realms?

This indeed counts as a prodigy, considered high-end talent within the Ji Family.

And Ji Yun Ge stated that he was not weaker than the Ultimate Study Realm, such a leap in adversity seemed a bit too large!

At once, some were astonished, some skeptical, while others thought Ji Yun Ge, being saved by the young man, wished to repay him, hence deliberately exaggerated his words, even attempting to vindicate Ji Qingqing by doing so.

But Ji Tian Chao and Ji Yun Ge’s other brothers understood that their Third Brother would never lie about this.

Especially on matters concerning the interests of the family, he was always more serious and earnest than anyone.

Thus, no matter how strange the matter, they were willing to believe it.

“Unexpectedly, Old Thirteenth’s grandchild actually has such incredible abilities!”
