Chapter 1363 Ji Clan
Chapter 1363 Ji Clan
They never expected that Xiao Ran, who just said to let go of the great elder of the ancient clan, killed him immediately after learning that he had hurt the ancient spirit.
Xiao Ran who killed so decisively made Gu Wenfeng and others feel scared, and at the same time felt that Xiao Ran was very defensive, and he didn't allow others to hurt his disciple in the slightest.
Some warriors of the ancient clan were also very fortunate that they did not harm the ancient spirit, otherwise the fate of the elders of the ancient clan would be their fate.
When Cheng Tong and the others saw this, they were slightly taken aback, and then fell silent, including Tie Tu who had just pleaded for the elder of the ancient clan.
Because the Great Elder of the Gu Clan hurt Gu Ling, with Xiao Ran's behavior, how could he let him go?
"Master Xiao Ran, spare your life, Mr. Xiao Ran, please forgive me!"
Seeing the great elder of the ancient clan being killed by Xiao Ran with one finger, Xu Yang was frightened and begged for mercy.
"Master, he, he just taught Linger a few words." Gu Ling's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly said to Xiao Ran.In her opinion, the great elder of the ancient clan deserved to die.
But she didn't expect that after hearing this, Xiao Ran smiled softly, and said to her seriously: "My disciple of Xiao Ran, no one can teach him a lesson, not even the gods and Buddhas of the heavens."
"Thank you Master for upholding justice for the disciples."
Gu Ling was very moved when he heard the words, tears of joy flashed from her two crystal eyes, but she hurriedly covered them up, so as not to be seen by Xiao Ran and make a joke.
After all, she is now the patriarch of the ancient clan, so she is considered an adult!
Xiao Ran nodded towards him, and then said to Gu Wenfeng: "Take someone to clean it up, and then rebuild and restore, I hope that what the ancient clan looked like before, it will look like it will look like in the future."
"Yes."
Gu Wenfeng hastily handed over his hands to accept the order, then glanced at the body of the great elder of the ancient clan, and sighed in his heart, you are all to blame for what happened today!
At the same time, Gu Wenfeng decided that he must treat Gu Ling respectfully in the future, because Xiao Ran was too defensive.
The other ancient warriors, looking at the corpse of the great elder of the ancient tribe, were all terrified, with cold sweat on their foreheads, and decided in their hearts to serve the ancient spirit carefully in the future, and put her first.
Then, following Gu Wenfeng, they cleared up the ruins around the square, and cleaned up the bodies of Gu Tong's father and daughter, Ji Shanyue's father and son, and the great elder of the Gu clan.
At the same time, restore the dilapidated square, re-erect the Huabiao, build pavilions, plant exotic flowers and plants, and reproduce the vibrant scene.
On the other hand, Xiao Ran and Gu Ling counted the treasure house of the ancient clan, refined various elixirs, and improved the cultivation of the ancient spirit.
What's worth mentioning is that Gu Zhao and Gu Chen were frightened and fearful of what would happen to the great elder of the ancient clan, so they both committed suicide.
In addition, eight or nine years ago, from Linyuan City, the Seventh Elder who welcomed the ancient spirit to the ancient clan was appointed by Xiao Ran as the guardian of the ancient spirit.
Because among the Nuoda ancient clan, only the seventh elder was more sincere towards the ancient spirit.
Gu Tong deprived Gu Ling of his ethereal body blood. She tried her best to stop and persuade her, but Gu Tong put her into a dungeon and was forbidden to go out forever.
Now that Gu Tong is dead, with Gu Ling's help, she regained her freedom. She is naturally very grateful and swears to Xiao Ran that she will protect Gu Ling's safety for the rest of her life.
In the blink of an eye, two days later, everything about the Gu Clan was settled, and Xiao Ran decided to subdue the Ji Clan.
Because he is not familiar with the Ji family and has never been to the Ji family, Xiao Ran called Gu Wenfeng over and told him, "Gu Wenfeng, take us to the Ji family."
"Yes, Young Master Xiao Ran."
Gu Wenfeng knew that Xiao Ran was going to subdue the Ji family, so he was not surprised, and had some expectations.
Although Xiao Ran has the final say on everything in the ancient clan today, but after all, the ancient spirit is the patriarch.
It's just that, now that Gu Ling's cultivation base is low, it's only Xiao Ran who cares about it.
Gu Wenfeng could tell that Xiao Ran really loved Gu Ling very much, and felt that when Gu Ling became stronger in the future, he would definitely become a veritable patriarch of the ancient clan.
Then, after Xiao Ran conquered the Ji Clan, the Ji Clan had to obey the orders of the Gu Clan and respect the Gu Clan from now on.
After all, with the strength of the Ji clan, they couldn't resist Xiao Ran.
Therefore, Gu Wenfeng is willing to lead the way.
Moreover, he felt that if Ji Chao, the patriarch of the Ji clan, knew current affairs, he should choose to surrender to Xiao Ran immediately.
From the ancient clan to the Ji clan, the journey is not far away. They set off at noon, rest for one night in the middle, and arrive at the sphere of influence of the Ji clan early the next morning.
The power of the Ji Clan is almost the same as that of the Ancient Clan. There are countless small forces under their command. All of them respect the Ji Clan and obey the orders of the Ji Clan.
The Ji Clan's mountain gate is different from the Gu Clan's mountain gate. There is no formation, and it is located in a mountain range with thick fog.
In the center of this mountain range, there is a mountain peak piercing into the sky, which is over a thousand feet high. The mountains are shrouded in clouds and mist, and the birds are extinct.
But around the peak, there are streams, waterfalls, fiery trees, silver flowers, and birds flying happily, showing a peaceful scene of Taoyuan.
The strange thing is that this mountain peak is connected with the surrounding peaks by cold iron chains, like iron chains crossing a river, creating an independent space.
Xiao Ran was amazed by such a sight, he never thought that the Ji Clan was built in such a place, it is really unique!
Gu Wenfeng bent over, stood behind Xiao Ran, and respectfully introduced the basic situation of the Ji clan to Xiao Ran, focusing on Ji Chao, the ancestor of the Ji clan.
Like him, this Ji Chao is also an old Void Immortal King, who broke through the Void Immortal Realm even seven or eight years earlier than him.
Therefore, Ji Chao's background is profound, and his strength is a bit stronger than Gu Tong and Ji Shanyue, and he is on par with Gu Wenfeng.
Of course, Gu Wenfeng knew that no matter how powerful Ji Chao was, he would be vulnerable to Xiao Ran, so he hoped that Ji Chao would take the initiative to submit to Xiao Ran.
Cheng Tong, who had been standing beside Xiao Ran, looked at Lingfeng in front of him, listened to what Gu Wenfeng said, and nodded noncommittally.
Xiao Ran beheaded Gu Tong and Ji Shanyue, how can a mere Ji Chao be able to contend?
"who?"
At this moment, two elders of the Ji clan who guarded the mountain suddenly flew out from above the Lingfeng Peak, and shouted at the three of Xiao Ran, quite dignifiedly.
However, when they saw Gu Wenfeng, they were all taken aback, and immediately bowed their hands and saluted: "I have seen Senior Gu Wenfeng."
"I'm here to meet Ji Chao's old friend, you guys lead the way." Gu Wenfeng said with a smile and waved.
"Ok."
The two elders guarding the mountain did not dare to neglect, and nodded in agreement.
But when they saw Xiao Ran and Cheng Tong, they couldn't help asking: "Senior Gu Wenfeng, are these two your friends?"
"That's right." Gu Wenfeng nodded with a smile, and said, "I brought them here, so you can rest assured."
The two elders guarding the mountain nodded upon hearing this, and immediately led Xiao Ran and the others into the Lingfeng Peak.
However, Xiao Ran walked in front of Gu Wenfeng, which made the two elders of the Ji clan quite puzzled, what is the origin of this young man?
However, Gu Wenfeng didn't mean to take the initiative to speak, and they didn't dare to ask more.
After all, Gu Wenfeng is the king of virtual immortals, the ancestor of the ancient clan. In terms of status, cultivation and strength, he far exceeds them, and is not at the same level at all.
"Shh!"
After a while, two elders of the Ji clan led Xiao Ran and the others through the cloud and mist lingering outside the mountain peak, and saw a tall stone gate in the middle of the mountain peak.
This stone gate is more than a hundred feet high and more than ten feet wide. It is shining with silver light and looks magnificent. There are twelve Ji clan warriors standing on both sides.
"Open the door!"
As soon as the two elders of the Ji clan waved their hands, 24 warriors of the Ji clan opened the stone gate and invited Xiao Ran and the others to enter.
Walking through Shimen, a huge basin and plain appeared in front of the three of Xiao Ran. There were fire trees, silver flowers, spirit flowers and spirit trees everywhere, like a paradise.
On this basin plain, there stands a huge city, which is even more than half the size of the ancient city.
Nine city gates were opened in the city, and two ancient characters were engraved on the top:
Himejo!
These two words are extremely eye-catching, even if they are separated by hundreds of miles, the three of them, Xiao Ran, can see them clearly.
They are all Immortal Kings with excellent eyesight, let alone seeing things that are hundreds of miles away, they can see things clearly even three to five hundred miles away.
Ji City is very prosperous, not only divided into inner city and outer city, but also into four cities, east, west, north, south, almost the largest city that Xiao Ran has seen in Zhongzhou.
When Xiao Ran saw it, he couldn't stop tutting.
This Ji city is so big, it is quite suitable for the ambitious father and son Ji Shanyue and Ji Guhong.
It's a pity, they probably never thought until their death that one day, Xiao Ran would set foot in Jicheng and want to subdue the Ji clan, right?
Smiling slightly, Xiao Ran gave Gu Wenfeng a deep look.
"Shh!"
Without saying a word, Gu Wenfeng flew out immediately, passed Xiao Ran, walked to the front, and stopped ten miles away from Jicheng.
Then, he took a deep breath, condensed a mass of power from heaven and earth, and spit it out from his mouth: "Brother Ji Chao, old friend is here to see you, please come out and talk."
This sound was very loud, like the sound of a drum in the evening and a bell in the morning, resounding over Jicheng, so that all the warriors of the Ji clan in the city could hear it.
"It's Senior Gu Wenfeng who came to see the ancestor."
"Hey, why didn't the patriarch and the young patriarch come back with Patriarch Gu Wenfeng?"
"That's right. It has been three days since the patriarch and the young patriarch went to the ancient clan. It's really strange why they haven't come back yet."
Many members of the Ji family knew Gu Wenfeng, and they bowed their hands to Gu Wenfeng from afar, very politely.
However, they were very puzzled, why didn't they see Ji Shanyue and his son?
But they didn't think much about it. After all, Ji Shanyue is the patriarch of the Ji Clan, the king of Xu Xian, what can happen if he goes to the Gu Clan?
It's just that Gu Wenfeng came to Ji Chao with such a big fanfare, which made them very puzzled and surprised, because Gu Wenfeng had never done this before.
"Old friend, why are you here?"
Just as the Ji clan was guessing, a hearty voice suddenly came out from within Jicheng, with a bit of vigor.
Obviously, the owner of the voice is not young.
Sure enough, before the hearty voice fell, Xiao Ran saw an old man with white hair, wrinkled face, and a pair of long white eyebrows coming out.
The old man with long eyebrows is the ancestor of the Ji clan, Ji Chao!
He is tall, with thick and powerful hands and feet. Although his face is old, his eyes are as bright as a mirror, showing a sense of vicissitudes.
He walked with his hands empty, and the wind was blowing vigorously, setting off a hot wind, and the air was reflected in the color of flames, as if it was about to be ignited.
"Meet the ancestors!"
As soon as Ji Chaofu came out of the city, the warriors of the Ji clan bowed their hands and saluted wherever they passed, and some younger generations even knelt down on the ground, their attitude extremely respectful.
It can be seen from this that Ji Chao's status in the Ji clan is really high, and the name of the ancestor is definitely not in vain.
Seeing Gu Wenfeng coming, he was very happy, and he cupped his hands from a long distance, and said with a smile: "Old friend, I didn't expect you to come to the Ji family. It's really great. This time, you and I want to Have a good exchange of martial arts."
