Chapter 63 The Ji Family and the Royal Family
……
Finally, Ji Chen returned to his Zuimo Ju.
However, the news that he defeated Wan Lei quickly spread within the Yuhua Sect.
"Even Wan Lei, who is at the eighth level of the Condensed Veins Realm, was defeated?"
"Not only that, Wan Lei's cultivation has been abolished, and his ranking on the Hidden Dragon List will also be replaced by Ji Chen."
"How long has it been since Ji Chen entered the inner sect? Is he already the 89th-ranked expert on the Hidden Dragon Ranking?"
Many people were surprised and were talking about it everywhere.
There are thousands of disciples in the inner sect, but only a hundred are listed on the Hidden Dragon List. All those who can make the list are the real leaders in the inner sect, and none of them are simple characters.
But Ji Chen had just entered the inner gate for less than a month, and he had already squeezed into the 89th place.
Moreover, many people are speculating that with his current true strength, he must be ranked higher, at least in the top 50!
Ji Chen was completely unaware of these remarks. At this moment, he had returned to Zuimo Ju.
Sitting cross-legged under a tree, Ji Chen was carefully analyzing something in his mind.
"Using 10,000 spirit stones to find Wan Lei to teach me a lesson is obviously not Hua Tian's style. Let's not talk about how he, an inner sect disciple, got so many spirit stones from. If he really wanted to, he could just do it himself."
As the tenth ranked expert on the Hidden Dragon List, Hua Tian’s cultivation had already entered the Spiritual Transformation Realm.
Although Ji Chen has many trump cards, he has never really fought with a strong man in the Spirit Transformation Realm to this day. Therefore, if he really faced Hua Tian, he was not sure how much chance he had of winning.
"Most likely someone wanted to deal with me, and this person found Hua Tian. The 10,000 spirit stones that Hua Tian gave to Wan Lei must have come from that person's hands."
"Who will it be?"
Ji Chen narrowed his eyes, "Ji Yanran? Or Ji Xueruo?"
"Or... is it Ji Xiaotian? Ji Wushuang?"
These were the first four people that Ji Chen thought of, but he couldn't be sure which one had bribed Hua Tian this time.
Just as Ji Chen was puzzled, Han Mu arrived.
It is now late at night, and Han Mu never comes to see me at this time.
In other words, he came here most likely for something important.
"The headmaster sent a message asking you to go to the main hall."
Sure enough, he brought such news to Ji Chen.
"Oh?"
Ji Chen couldn't help but frown when he heard that. It turned out that the headmaster wanted to see him?
I didn't think much about it, it must be because of what happened during the day.
Soon, he walked out of Zuimoju and went deep into the inner gate.
Ji Chen came to the back mountain, under a main peak.
Following an ancient bluestone staircase all the way up, Ji Chen soon reached the top of the mountain.
Looking around, there is a huge plain here, and in the front of the plain, there is an ancient temple, which is a little old and dilapidated, and has existed for who knows how many years.
Yuhua Hall.
The headmaster Xiao Yin was among them.
Ji Chen came to the front of the palace gate, bowed slightly, and bowed inside, "Disciple Ji Chen, I am summoned to meet the master."
"come in."
A faint voice came from the hall.
Ji Chen walked in without hesitation.
All the furnishings in the hall appear very simple.
Right in front of him, there was a figure sitting cross-legged on a cushion. It was the headmaster Xiao Yin.
"The Elders' Pavilion has already investigated Wan Lei's matter thoroughly. It is true that he was bribed and his cultivation was abolished. It can only be said that he brought this upon himself."
Xiao Yin, who had his eyes closed, slowly opened them and looked towards Ji Chen.
"Who bribed him?" Ji Chen pondered and then asked.
"There are not many clues. We have only found Hua Tian so far." Xiao Yin said, "Although Hua Tian has a good talent, his background is actually ordinary. He really can't take out 10,000 spirit stones. That is to say, there are other people behind him. Do you have any grudges with anyone?"
Since it concerns Ji Chen's safety, Xiao Yin naturally dare not be careless.
After all, this is a super genius who possesses nine spiritual veins and has comprehended the sword intent.
Any damage to Ji Chen would be a huge loss to Yuhua Sect.
"The most likely possibility is the Ji family."
After a moment of silence, Ji Chen spoke like this.
"Ji family?"
When Xiao Yin heard this, his brows suddenly frowned.
Although he knew that Ji Chen had severed ties with the Ji family long ago, he was not clear about the reason.
Moreover, no matter what, Ji Chen has the blood of the Ji family flowing in his body. He was once the young master of the Ji family. No matter how you think about it, the Ji family would not hate him to this extent, right?
"Who do you think it will be from the Ji family?" Xiao Yin asked again.
"The most likely possibility is Ji Xiaotian's son, Ji Wushuang!" Ji Chen thought carefully and said so.
Xiao Yin fell silent and said nothing.
"If one day, the Ji family and I completely fall out, what will happen to the Yuhua Sect?" At this moment, Ji Chen suddenly spoke.
"There has never been any grudge between my Yuhua Sect and the Ji family. However, since you are a disciple of the Yuhua Sect, the sect will naturally stand on your side." Xiao Yin said seriously.
If it were an ordinary disciple, he would definitely not be able to get the support of Yuhua Sect.
But Ji Chen is different. He is an unparalleled genius with nine spiritual veins. For him, it is absolutely worth it for the Yuhua Sect to go against the Ji family.
"but……"
Xiao Yin pondered and spoke again, "You were once a member of the Ji family, so you should know that there is a bigger force behind the Ji family. If you really turn against them, it will be very troublesome."
"The Royal Family of Yun Kingdom!"
There was a gleam in Ji Chen's eyes.
He also knew something about this matter, but not much.
"The strength of the royal family is beyond doubt. Over the years, they have developed very rapidly and are almost comparable to our Yuhua Sect during its most glorious period in the past."
"Ji Xiaotian... is the son-in-law of the royal family. Many people may not know this, but you should be very clear that your mother is the queen of Yun Kingdom!" Xiao Yin said.
In the entire Yun Country, only a handful of people knew this information, and he was one of them.
Even Ji Xueruo and Ji Yanran, the two jewels of the Ji family, may not know.
The reason why Ji Chen knew this clearly was because he learned about it by chance in his previous life.
"If the matter involves the royal family, it will be more complicated and difficult than imagined. However, you have extraordinary talent and your future achievements are unimaginable. With nine spiritual veins, as long as you are given enough time, in the future, even the royal family will hardly pose a threat to you."
"If you have no second thoughts about the Yuhua Sect, the sect will naturally stand by you forever." He looked at Ji Chen and spoke very seriously.
Ji Chen clasped his fists slightly and said nothing. He just wanted to know the attitude and position of Yuhua Sect.
"Have you ever heard of the Yehuang Ruins?" Xiao Yin suddenly asked.
