"Second brother, listen to me!" said Fu Zhuji.

  "Big brother." (This chapter is uploaded by a friend) Ji Lie closed his eyes, and then suddenly opened them and growled, "No need to say more, from today on, Ji Ning will be the successor of the Ji familys master. I, Ji Lie, will also follow his orders and be loyal to him. For the sake of the Ji familys Western Manor, I will go to war without any disobedience. I have great admiration for Ji Ning, but as for you, I am not convinced!"

  Ji Lie Huo stood up and turned around to leave.

  "Father." Ji Wuyue also shouted beside him and followed closely behind.

  Ji Yu Yang silently watched Ji Lie leave, but a hint of a smile appeared on his face. He was very clear that his second brother, Ji Lie, had a fiery personality and was extremely fond of fighting. He would yield to the strong, but not to the weak! From their youth until now, in terms of actual strength, Ji Yu Yang was no match for his second brother. Of course, Ji Lie wouldnt submit. However, Ji Lie had said before... as long as Ji Yi Chuan became the master of the manor, he would have no objections whatsoever.

  Ji Ning is even more demonic than his father Ji Yichuan, and he defeated seven opponents to win the Golden Sword in a crushing manner, so naturally Ji Lie was also impressed.

  Clothes are just clothes!

  I wont accept it!

  He Ji Lie had never gotten along with his older brother, Ji Yu Yang, for his entire life.

  ……

  Late afternoon

  The Xueyan Hall of the Jis Western Manor is holding a grand banquet, and the heir has finally made up his mind. It is an important matter for the Jis Western Manor. When Ji Youyang retires and Ji Ning takes over, Ji Ning will also take on the role of Zhixing. And as Ji Youyang is a pre-heavenly spirit and the former manor lord, he will also hold the position of Zhixing.

  The Ji familys Western Manor has ten major executives, and some matters related to the fate of the Western Manor are decided jointly by the ten major executives. Once Ji Ning takes power, the weakest of the current ten major executives will have to step down! The balance of power will also change, and it is easy to imagine that the power of the direct descendants in the future will be even stronger.

  "Oh no, oh no!"

  Only in the great hall were thirty or more barefooted and nearly half-naked beast skin girls dancing.

  On both sides of the rear of the grand hall, there were musicians playing and beating instruments such as drums, bells, and chimes. The sound of the instruments was either low and deep or empty and ethereal, echoing in the grand hall. Inside the grand hall, a group of people from the Western Mansion of the Ji family, who held the highest power, were making toasts and changing cups, with loud laughter.

  Ji Ning, as the heir of the prefecture master, also sat alone in a separate seat, with a table in front of him, on which were placed all kinds of delicious food.

  "Hua hua hua ~~" The beast skin girl holding a large wine jug stood by, seeing that Ji Nings beast head wine cup was empty, and helped to pour it full, with dozens of pounds of large wine jugs, but the beast skin girl poured it out without spilling a single drop.

  "Its really a different flavor." Ji Ning watched with a nodding head.

  In addition to Jingning, another one next to it is sitting with more than one person.

  Ji Yichuan sat naturally on the central couch, Wei Chi Xue also attached to one side, and next to it was a snow-white big dog, which was the divine beast Bai Shui Ze.

  Those who can sit alone in the main hall of Piao Xue Temple are all high-ranking members of the Ji familys Western Manor. Even Mu Yans mother, Wei Chi Xue, had to be brought in as Mrs. Ji Yichuan and didnt have the qualifications to sit alone.

  ……

  One by one, the congenital spirits came, either with their families or with the spiritual beasts they had domesticated.

  It was soon night, and the musicians and dancers all retired one by one. Even the waiting maids were dismissed, and it was time to discuss some important matters. If they were going to talk about something extremely confidential, even the family members and spirit beasts present would have to be dismissed.

  "Gentlemen." Ji Yu Yang smiled and said, "Todays Golden Sword Ceremony has just ended. At the age of ten, Ji Ning defeated all his opponents with a single sword, becoming the winner of the Golden Sword and naturally becoming the successor to the lordship. However, Ji Ning is still young... Let him grow up a bit more and experience more before taking over as the lord. I think its best to wait until he turns twenty years old. What do you gentlemen think?"

  "Good."

  "Good."

  "Ji Nings talent is no less than that of Yi Chuan, and he is the most suitable candidate for the master of the mansion." All the other attendants nodded in agreement, including Ji Lie, without a single objection.

  Ji Yichuan, who was sitting beside him, also rarely showed a hint of a smile and said, "Master."

  "A river, whats going on?" Ji Youyang looked over.

  "I want something for my son," said Ji Yichuan.

  "What is it?"

  " Wanli Wuzongfu!" Ji Yichuan said solemnly, and as soon as the words left his mouth, the entire grand hall fell silent, with many of the innate spiritual beings exchanging glances filled with shock.

  "Want the Wanli Wuzong Symbol?" Ji Yu Yang furrowed his brow and looked at Ji Ning, asking, "Ji Ning, do you want this Wanli Wuzong Symbol?"

  Ji Ning sat there, holding a wine cup with an animal head on it, and was taken aback for a moment. He looked at his father and nodded, saying, "Yes."

  Ji Yichuan said with a smile: "Since Ji Ning is going to be the next master of the manor, this Wanli Wuzong symbol should be fine, right?"

  "Alright." Ji Youyang nodded, took a deep breath, and flipped his hand. A jade symbol emitting a jade light appeared in his hand. The symbol had complex patterns like heavenly script, and strange waves were emanating from it, causing the surrounding air to distort. Ji Youyang threw it directly at Ji Yichuans face. "Yichuan, this Wanli Wuzong Symbol is the treasure of our Ji familys Western Manor. It must not be used lightly."

  Ji Yichuan nodded: "I understand."

  ……

  Late at night, on their way back from Ukifunes residence, Kinu and her parents walked together with Shirakawa.

  "Father, mother." Ji Ning asked in confusion, "What is the Wanli Wuzong symbol, Father? What do you want to use the Wanli Wuzong symbol for?"

  Wei Chi Xue smiled at her son: "This is why your father let you participate in the Golden Sword Ceremony and win the Golden Sword, only then will he allow you to go out. Because only by winning the Golden Sword and becoming the next master of the mansion can you get the treasure of the town hall, Wan Li Wu Zong Fu."

  Ji Yichuans face turned cold as he said, "The Wanli Wuzong symbol is an extremely precious talisman. It was obtained by a distant ancestor of mine from the Western Ji Manor three hundred years ago through a coincidence. At that time, he had obtained three talismans, but used two... Only this last remaining talisman has become the treasure of our manor."

  "Whats it for?" Ji Ning asked.

  Ji Yichuan smiled and said: "As long as you use the Wanli Wuyin symbol, you can instantly reach any place within a thousand miles."

  "What." Ji Ning was shocked, able to reach any place within a radius of ten thousand miles in an instant?

  "This Taoist symbol is something that cant be bought even if you want to, and its only obtained through the luck of our ancestors." Ji Yichuan sighed, "For us, the Ji family, to obtain a treasure of this level... is already a great fortune. You are the next master of the manor, I can only take out this Wanli Wuzong symbol in your name, and no one can object."

  He handed over a jade sword with blood on it to Ji Ning: "This jade sword was tempered by my own blood for a long time, no matter how far away you are, I can sense the location of this jade sword. Youd better carry it with you when you go out this time. Remember, once you encounter danger, immediately break this jade sword, and I will know it instantly. I will use the Wanli Wuyin symbol to arrive at your place in an instant and save your life."

  "Ah." Ji Ning suddenly understood why his father needed the Wanli Wuyin symbol.

  Ji Yichuan shouted: "You go out and make a name for yourself, but dont leave my Xifeng City too far behind. This Wanli Wuzong symbol can only take you a maximum of 10,000 miles away. I can sense the location of the jade sword to know how far youve gone. Once I sense that youve left Xifeng City more than 10,000 miles away, Ill immediately come and capture you, locking you in the dungeon for three years!"

  Ji Ning blinked, and was locked into the dungeon. The dark prison that never saw sunlight was where the Ji familys Western Manor imprisoned death row inmates and serious offenders.

  "Remember, son." Ji Ning replied in succession.

  Ten thousand miles away?

  Thats enough, after all, the western capital of the Ji family only has a jurisdiction of several thousand miles, and further west is the territory of other powerful forces.

  "Ning Er." Wei Chi Xue asked with concern, "When are you planning to go out and make a name for yourself?"

  "Get ready." Ji Ning nodded, "In three days."

  ……

  Three days have passed in the blink of an eye.

  Early in the morning, it was still a bit dark, inside Ji Nings house.

  "Ning Er, take all of these." Yu Chi Xue waved her hand, and on the bed appeared two large stacks of animal hide clothing along with some other miscellaneous items.

  "Mother," Ji Ning couldnt help but say, "Ive prepared everything myself, clothes, food, and daily necessities."

  "Let you bring it then," Ji Yi Chuan said coldly. "These were all made by your mothers own hands, one stitch at a time."

  Ji Nings heart skipped a beat, and he couldnt help but glance at his mother. Wei Chi Xues gaze had been fixed on her son the whole time. Ji Ning could feel the boundless love in his mothers eyes... From childhood to adulthood, his mother had always taken care of him meticulously, making him feel like everything to her. This time, when he went out to make a name for himself, his mother was probably really worried.

  A child travels a thousand miles and his mother worries, let alone when he himself goes out to make a fortune.

  "Father." Ji Ning felt a sense of heaviness and changed the subject, "This time I go out, will Ji Lie secretly..."

  "It wont happen." Ji Yichuan said coldly, "The reason why the Ji family can survive to this day on this land is because of unity. Absolutely no internal strife is allowed. Those who violate this rule will be hunted down by the five branches of the Ji family! Moreover, I am also very clear about Ji Lies temperament. He just doesnt obey Master Ji Qiuyang, but in his heart, he is still for the sake of the Ji family. And he has a proud bone, and would not stoop to doing such things."

  Ji Ning nodded as if she was deep in thought.

  "Dont worry, Ji Lie," Ji Yichuan shouted, "What you should be worried about is the great demons. The great demons have different innate abilities and methods, and even the congenital spirits of my Ji familys Western Manor often die in battle. Let alone you, who havent become a congenital being yet!"

  "Never mind." Yu Chi Xue continued, "Since my son is going out on an adventure, I shouldnt say anything pleasant. Ning Er, mother has something for you." As she spoke, a golden book appeared in her hand, its pages like gold foil. On the cover of the book were four ancient large characters - "Wind Wing Escape Method".

  "This is a body technique, and its also the most precious set of immortal devil secret arts that Mother possesses. Wait until you become a pre-heavenly born spirit before looking at it again." Wei Chi Xue instructed, "Also, you must not pass it on to anyone from the Ji family."

  "Yes." Ji Ning nodded.

  Like mother teaching her own "Wind Shadow Steps", only she would! Because the Ji family doesnt have this set of steps, Mother also instructed herself... to prohibit passing on "Wind Shadow Steps" to other members of the Ji family. And this "Wind Wing Escape Method" is also owned by Mother, prohibiting it from being passed on to other members of the Ji family.

  "Alright, lets get going." Ji Yichuan said, "If were leaving, then lets leave. Lets be decisive about it."

  "Father, mother, Im leaving." Ji Ning looked at his parents.

  He immediately turned around and walked out, outside Mafuyu and maid Akiho had been waiting.
