Leave one's village and hometown?

  Ji Ning suppressed the discontent in his heart, really unwilling to accept it. But looking around at other members of the clan, including his father, Ji Liuzhen, and Shadow Granny, who were all silent. As long as it would allow the Ji clan to continue to thrive and prosper, then leaving home was also bearable!

  "Just bring a piece of vassal token from Xue Long Shan." Ji Jiu Huo said in a low voice, "My Ji family will immediately present the vassal token of Wan Jian City with both hands!"

  "What is your command?"

  Yuandongzi Qi and five others looked at each other, quietly discussing in a low voice.

  "Zi Qi, Shixiong, what should we do?" The green-haired woman transmitted her voice, "Take out the Imperial Edict?"

  "Take out what?" Dongzi Qi looked at the green-haired woman, "He Xiang Shimei, what are you taking out?"

  The green-haired woman suddenly shut her mouth.

  These Zifu cultivators who left the sect and infiltrated various places to establish branches are all of limited potential and can already be considered outer members of the sect. In Daxia City, which is occupied by Yanshan, it is also their foundation! It is also the foundation of some of their tribes, and they have long been intertwined with power, how could they possibly give it up?

  Do you want to take out a summoning token?

  Who took it?

  "This vein of yuan stone is for the Xue Long Shan sect, why should I sacrifice? Let my tribe sacrifice? Every major city in Daxia has two or three Zifu cultivators, and they all need to agree before abandoning the Minister's Order! Who would be willing to give up the foundation that has been built over a long period of time?"

  "We are not willing to give up, do other places' fellow disciples want to take out a big Xia city?" Dongzi Qi shook his head, "My Xue Long Shan has many branches, those branch's fellow disciples will not care about us, how can they be kind enough to abandon a big Xia city?"

  "Anyway, our Jù family can't possibly, I don't agree with it, and my great uncle in the clan won't agree either." That sturdy man hastily said, "Don't consider it anymore, I just don't believe that Ji family would really dare to resist."

  "Uh-huh."

  The green-haired man nodded, "Directly threaten the Ji family! Resistance means extinction! Obeying us can still survive! I believe the Ji family will know how to choose."

  "That's right, this isn't the first or second time." The burly man nodded repeatedly.

  "Let's do it then." The man in gray clothes, Mokusei, also agreed.

  Dongzi Qi glanced at the four junior brothers and sisters, although there were other fellow disciples from the Yanshan branch who hadn't come, it was impossible for everyone to come just because of this one Tian Di Yuan Qi fluctuation. However, these five people already represented all the internal factions of the Yanshan branch.

  "Alright." Dongzi nodded, "Then let's do it this way. As Ju Fanshi said, this kind of thing has already happened more than once or twice."

  Xuelong Mountain has many branches.

  So many branches, how can they occupy so many large cities and towns? By force?

  That's foolish.

  It's all about slaughter and intimidation, but in reality, the vast majority of tribes can only gnash their teeth and swallow them into their stomachs, surrendering voluntarily. Of course, there will also be some killings from time to time, but nothing is absolute, and people like Dongzi Qi are confident that their own strength is absolutely stronger than that of the Ji family.

  ……

  The Ji family is waiting on one side.

  Although heartbroken, unwilling to give up.

  But Ji Ning and everyone else had made preparations to leave their homes, as long as the Ji family continued to thrive, everything was worth it. The Ji family was waiting for a response from Xue Long Shan.

  "Hmm." Dongzi Qi hummed softly, "Jiufei Huo."

  Everyone on the Ji side looked at Duanmu Qishi and Ji Jiu Huo said, "This is already the last bottom line of our Ji family."

  "What's the bottom line?" Dongzi Qi sneered, "The bottom line is meant to be broken! Ji Jiu Huo, you want to exchange the vassal decree of Wan Jian City for another vassal decree? You're dreaming. Now I'll give you two paths to choose from: first, if you defy me, Snow Dragon Mountain, your Ji clan will be exterminated. Second, hand over the vassal decree of Wan Jian City, and Snow Dragon Mountain will allow your Ji clan to continue surviving on this land. Once the Yuanshi mine vein is excavated, the vassal decree of Wan Jian City will be returned to you. This is Dongzi Qi's promise!"

  Everyone in the Ji family changed their faces.

  What?

  Promise?

  Bullshit promise! What's a promise worth? Empty words are going to make the entire Ji clan surrender their vassal decree?

  "Dongzi starts." Ji Jiu Huo was both anxious and angry.

  "Shut up." Dongzi shouted sternly, his eyes cold and piercing as he stared at Ji Jiu Huo. "You have only two choices: to continue living or to be annihilated! It's all in your hands, Ji Jiu Huo. If you choose annihilation... my Bagua Blood Dragon Formation hasn't truly tasted blood for a long time."

  The other four Zifu disciples beside him were also flashing with fierce auras, they were from the sect and had learned some powerful spells, their methods were generally much stronger than the locals. If they really fought... In the old nest, there were three more Zifu disciples, adding up to a total of eight Zifu disciples!

  "Choose!" Dongzi Qiling said coldly.

  The people on Ji's side were so angry that some of their clansmen were trembling with rage.

  "Tribe leader!" All the tribesmen shouted together.

  "Ah ah ah!" Jiǔ Huǒ threw his head back and let out a howl, "I, Jiǔ Huǒ, am ashamed before the ancestors of the Ji family!"

  Ji Ning clenched her teeth, her body trembling slightly.

  But the distant Dongzi Qi and others were watching this scene with a cold smile, choosing to abandon their tribal roots was indeed shameful to their ancestors, but dare these aborigines resist? Resistance means death!

  "Go die!" Ji Jiu Huo suddenly flung out six black small balls, transforming into six streams of light that flew directly to the faces of Dongzi Qi and his five companions.

  "It's a Thunderbolt Pearl!"

  The five Purple Mansion cultivators were greatly shocked, they were from a sect and immediately recognized that this was the most common but also very sinister Thunderfire Pearl, containing the power of thunder and flames, extremely violent. Once the yuan force ignites... it will immediately explode, with an extremely shocking power, if six Thunderfire Pearls suddenly exploded at close range, even Purple Mansion cultivators might perish.

  "These aboriginal tribes really have some treasures, and they can even take out six Lei Huo pearls in one breath." Dongzi Qi had this thought while dodging quickly.

  The five Zifu monks from Xuelong Mountain quickly dispersed in all directions.

  Boom!!!

  A mighty thunderous force exploded, dazzling lightning snakes surged in all directions, and the flames even burned the surrounding land, causing the earth to shake violently for a time. The power was indeed astonishingly fierce.

  "Begin!" Jiufei's eyes were even more crazed after he had just thrown out six explosive fireballs.

  Wow wow~~~~

  All around, the vast wilderness and mountains were shrouded in a boundless, eerie fog that obscured everything. Even for someone with exceptional eyesight like Jing Ning, visibility was limited to just three zhang ahead.

  "Not good." Just dodged, still with a hint of complacency and disdain in his heart, Dongzi suddenly saw the misty aura born out of thin air, and his face changed color, "It's an illusion array!"

  "That cunning old man threw six fireballs earlier, not to kill us, but to make the five of us scatter and distance ourselves from each other while dodging." Dongzi Qi's face changed greatly as he looked at the surrounding misty air, his mortal eyes could only see two zhang far, earlier because they encountered the fireballs, they all dodged with all their might, retreating as far as possible.

  Those junior brothers and sisters were all at least dozens of feet away from him. As long as they were more than five or six feet apart in this maze, they would be influenced by the main array, and their distance from each other would become farther and farther.

  "This ninth fire is going to completely separate us five." Dongzi Qi was both angry and anxious.

  "Big Brother!" A voice came from afar, "It's a maze array, we've been separated. That Jiufei old thief wants to defeat us one by one! They'll definitely have several Purple Mansion cultivators join forces to take on one of us at a time, taking us down individually!"

  Although the ears hear the sound, in the maze, the direction changes, and it is impossible to distinguish.

  "Are all of you together?!" Dongzi Qi shouted hastily.

  "A girl's voice rang out: 'I'm with my brother.'"

  "I am alone."

  "I am alone too."

  The other two voices, however, made Dongzi Xing's heart turn cold. He understood that the Hu brothers and sisters were together, but he, Dongzi Xing, Jusang, and Muxi were all completely scattered apart. Even if the Hu brothers and sisters joined forces... once they encountered an attack from the Ji family side, it would be extremely dangerous.

  "This time I really fell into that old man's hands." Dongzi Qi said hastily and angrily, "But how did he set up his formation ahead of time?"

  ……

  When five purple mansion cultivators from Xue Long Shan were trapped in the maze, they were anxious and worried, while the Ji family was both excited and shocked.

  "Tribe leader, why did you suddenly make your move?"

  "What's with this, this, this, and this formation?"

  Every member of the tribe was somewhat bewildered.

  Ji Jiu swept his gaze around the surrounding people, and growled: "My Ji family is not a soft persimmon, everyone has bullied us to our heads, and poured shit on our faces. Can we still tolerate it? Rather than walking in hiding, it's better to have a big kill, and my Ji family will have a chance to survive."

  "Listen to my command." Jiufei Huo ordered directly.

  Every ethnic group obeys orders.

  "North Wind, take them back and have them immediately board the flying birds, departing from Mount Yan in three separate routes." Ji Jiu Huo said, "This is the bloodline that our Ji clan must pass down."

  "Yes."

  "Ji Dongze, you immediately go to Yanshan City. Report to the Great Xia Dynasty that there is a yuan stone mine vein in our Ji family's territory. This matter is handed over to you, remember to arrange several troops. It must be ensured that one troop arrives at Yanshan City."

  "Yes."

  "Others, all non-Zi Fu disciples return to Wan Jian City. We'll take care of this place. Everyone go."

  This group of people from the Ji clan all knelt down with a thud, looking at Ji Jiu Huo, Ji Yi Chuan, Ji Liu Zhen, and Ji Ning, then quickly left without saying much.

  "It's just us few left now." Ji Jiu's gaze swept over the people around him, "The five Purple Mansion cultivators from Xue Long Shan who were so arrogant have already been separated by the grand formation. We only need to take them down one by one and we can eliminate all of them!"

  "Ji Ning." Ji Jiu Huo looked at Ji Ning, "You are the hope of my Ji clan, and you are also the future of my Ji clan. If things really go south, use the Wanli Wuxian symbol to escape immediately! As long as you're alive, my Ji clan will not be exterminated!"

  "Yes." Ji Ning gritted his teeth in response.

  "Get ready for a killing spree!" Ji Jiu Huo burst out laughing, "It's been so many years since I've been this crazy, I feel like I've suddenly become young again, just like the first time I got married, full of anticipation!"
