Ji Yichuan walked alone on the stone road, his brow furrowed in thought. He knew that this times event was also a disaster for the Ji family, but to stand tall on this land, one had to go through many disasters! If they could endure it, their clans foundation would grow stronger and their power would naturally increase. If they couldnt endure it, then it would be extinction! If some of their people managed to escape and preserve a bit of their bloodline, that would already be a good thing.

  "Master."

  "Master." Some servants were also on the side, respectfully kneeling and welcoming him.

  Ji Yichuan entered his own mansion and walked towards the courtyard where his wife usually stayed. Suddenly, a female servant rushed out in a hurry, and as soon as she saw Ji Yichuan, she was so frightened that she knelt down directly.

  "Whats the hurry? Whats going on?" Ji Yichuan frowned and asked.

  "Master." The maids face turned white and she was flustered, "The mistress, she... the mistress..."

  Ji Yichuans expression changed in an instant: "How is Xueer?"

  "Madam has fainted!" The maid exclaimed anxiously.

  "Fainted?" Ji Yichuans face suddenly turned pale, how could a skilled Qi cultivator like him faint, and his wife fainted probably for only one reason.

  "Xue Er!" Ji Yichuan instantly turned into a gust of wind and vanished on the spot.

  ……

  Inside the house.

  Wei Chi Xue Zheng was quietly lying in bed, her complexion slightly pale, but her face still as beautiful and calm as ever.

  "Xue Er." Ji Yichuan suddenly appeared in the house, looking at his wife lying there, and then walked forward to take a closer look. He couldnt help but turn to the maid on one side, "Whats going on?"

  That maid was also trembling and had already knelt down: "Master, the mistress was drinking tea just now, everything was fine, no one touched the mistress or spoke to her. The mistress suddenly fainted and fell over. We were in a panic, I carefully carried the mistress back into the house while Ryouma went to call you."

  "How could this be." Ji Yichuans face showed a painful expression, "How could this be! Hurry up, you go and get the Wu Shi to come over immediately."

  "Yes." The maid rushed out, leaving only Ji Yichuan alone in the house.

  Ji Yichuan sat on the edge of the bed, looking at his wife, and stroking her face with his hand. He murmured: "This day, did it still have to come? When you were going to give birth to Ninger, I was afraid that this day would really come. I didnt believe it, I didnt believe it, I must still be able to live on, and I still want to accompany you in watching our son grow up into a great hero."

  A moment.

  An old man with a big beard, wearing dirty animal hides, walked in. His body naturally carried the fragrance of grass. Sorcerers and medicine men are a group of people who have studied the herbs of heaven and earth very well. This endless land is indeed mysterious, giving birth to many strange creatures. Even if it seems like ordinary herbs, as long as they are mixed together, they can produce some amazing effects.

  And this witch doctor is the strongest one in all aspects of the Western House of Ji.

  "Shaman." Ji Yichuan looked at the old man with a big beard, "My wife just fainted for no reason, take a look."

  "Please step back." Cao Wu Shi said hoarsely, Ji Yichuan retreated to the side and made way for him, while Cao Wu Shi stretched out his dry, chicken-like hand and placed it on Erye Xues forehead. Suddenly, a green light appeared in Cao Wu Shis palm and began to slowly seep into Erye Xues body.

  A thick fragrance of medicine wafted out.

  The shaman closed his eyes, and after a long time, the shaman withdrew his right hand. The originally unconscious Wei Chi Xue also trembled with her eyelashes, then opened her eyes.

  "Xue Er." Ji Yichuan was overjoyed and rushed forward at the same time, looking towards the boatman on the side, "How is my wife?"

  "Please forgive me for my humble abilities." The boat witch shook her head, "Its better to go ask the clan leader instead."

  "Tribe leader?" Ji Yichuans heart tightened.

  The clan leader, also the leader of all five branches of the Ji family, was named Ji Jiu Huo. A nearly four-hundred-year-old old man, the true ancestor of the Ji family. Of course, he was also a Zifu cultivator! Ji Jiu Huo liked to study and had made great achievements in array formations, poisonous substances, and medicine. In terms of healing, he was far superior to this young witch doctor.

  "Ill take Xueer over right away." Ji Yichuan said repeatedly.

  "No." The boatman said, "The leader must not be careless, the leaders wife cant withstand bumps now, its best to rest quietly. If we can invite the clan leader over, that would be even better." The boatman stopped here, he also knew that inviting the clan leader was a very difficult thing.

  Ji Yichuan nodded and immediately ordered a nearby maid: "Hurry up and invite General Ji Honghua."

  A moment.

  Ji Honghua walked in wearing a red dress: "Yichuan, looking for me?"

  "Hua Gu." Ji Yichuan looked at the newcomer and said, "I invite you to ride the Qingyan bird to the Zong Fu, please ask the clan leader to come to our Xifucheng for a visit."

  "Invite the Patriarch?" Ji Honghua was shocked, the Patriarch had long since retired from worldly affairs, devoting himself to research and cultivation... Even if it were Western Mansions Master Ji Youyang who went to invite him, it was uncertain whether the Patriarch would come. "Ill go invite him, will he come?"

  "Go and tell him directly that I, Ji Yichuan, have a matter of life and death to discuss. Ask the clan leader to come to Xifeng City, and he will definitely come."

  Ji Honghua nodded and said, "Alright, Ill go to Wan Jian City."

  The Great Xia Dynasty built countless cities on the endless land, and the Ji family only occupied one, which is the Wanjian City, where the Zongfu of the five Ji families is located! As for Dongfu City, Xifeng City, Nanfu City, and Beifu City, they belong to the Ji familys own construction and are not special.

  "Trouble." Ji Yichuan thanked.

  Ji Honghua immediately left and quickly rode the Qingyan bird to leave Xifucheng and head towards Wanjiancheng!

  ……

  The maid in the house also retreated, leaving only Ji Yichuan and his wife Wei Chixue.

  "A river." Yu Chi Xue smiled and looked up at her man.

  "Xue Er." Ji Yichuan sat on the edge of the bed holding his wifes hand.

  Wei Chi Xue gently shook her head: "I know, you also know. At the beginning, when I returned from the North Sea and encountered difficulties on the way, it was already good to be able to survive by luck. These ten years have been very peaceful and happy for me, I am very satisfied."

  "If, if you hadnt given birth to Ninger back then..." Ji Yichuans voice was a little hoarse.

  Wei Chi Xue gently shook her head: "This is our child, I must give birth to it, even if using secret techniques will shorten my life by a few years, its worth it! When I was seriously injured before, if I hadnt given birth to Ning Er, I wouldnt have known if I could still get pregnant in the future. Ning Er is your and my flesh and blood, and also the exchange for my big brothers life."

  "Big brother." Ji Yichuan still remembered that great calamity on his way back home all those years ago.

  That great calamity changed the fate of three people.

  Wei Chis siblings and he Ji Yi Chuan.

  "Take my sister away quickly! Hurry up!"

  That tall and majestic back figure and that angry roar, Ji Yichuan had never forgotten.

  "If I had given up on Ninger, I might have been able to live a few more years, but I wouldnt have had our child and I would regret it for the rest of my life. He is the bloodline of the Ji family, as well as the bloodline of the Wei Chi family." Wei Chi Xue said softly, "In these ten years, having you by my side, and also having an extremely intelligent son...I am incredibly happy, incredibly fulfilled. These ten years have been the happiest for me."

  Ji Yichuan gently held his wifes hand.

  "Ning Er is my pride." Yu Chi Xue said slowly, "Giving birth to Ning Er, I have no regrets."

  "Uh-huh." Ji Yichuan nodded slightly, "I understand, I understand. It wont take an hour, the clan leader will be here soon. Lets let the clan leader see, maybe its not that bad."

  Wei Chi Xue nodded: "If I can live for another year or two, this matter will not be told to Ning Er. If I wont live much longer, let Ning Er come back." Then Wei Chi Xue looked at her husband, her eyes shining brightly: "Yi Chuan, with you and Ning Er in this life, I am really very happy."

  "Uh-huh." Ji Yichuan looked at his wife and said softly, "Me too."

  ……

  Ji Yichuan and Wei Chi Xue did not know that at this moment, their son Ji Ning was in a desperate situation. The great mountain at the border of the Ji and Tie Mu territories looked ordinary from afar, but once you ventured inside, you would be trapped in endless black fog and never come out again.

  Surrounded by a halo of lotus flowers, Ji Ning sat cross-legged and meditated on the "Nine Volumes of Array Methods", constantly deducing and trying to break through the formation as soon as possible.

  ……

  Inside the mountain

  Wails and curses came from all directions in the mountains, with sounds of mad begging and crying that never stopped. On the mountain were pillars, with men and women tied to them, and at a glance, there were over a hundred men and women covered in scars.

  Beaten, insulted, tortured... all sorts of means were used on these people.

  "Born with a noble spirit? You still think youre born with a noble spirit? Haha, thirsty yet? Drink some delicious urine to quench your thirst!" Each and every one of the sturdy men were crazily torturing.

  In the middle of the mountain, there were six men and women standing, dressed in magnificent attire, calmly watching everything.

  "In the Yanshan region, Ive purchased over a million ordinary slaves and caught nearly a hundred innate spirits, but its still far from Masters requirements." A black-clothed woman with a scorpion on her shoulder slowly said.

  "Senior brother is outside capturing the pre-heavenly born spirits, and soon we will have enough." A handsome young man smiled and said, "However, one of the spirit beasts under Masters command, Black Needle, was killed by the enemy during the battle in the great array. What do you think we should do, fellow senior brothers and sisters?"

  "Brother is talented, let brother go instead."

  "Junior brother..."

  Next to him, all the men and women looked at this handsome young man. The handsome young man saw that his face turned black, these brothers and sisters were not ordinary people. Although each of them had extraordinary means, since they knew that the guy inside the formation could easily kill the spiritual beast Black Needle, none of them were willing to go in, after all, there was still a little risk in going.

  Suddenly, the ground on one side of the mountain began to rotate, and a piece by piece iron plate moved away, revealing an entrance to a passageway. The dark passageway had a hint of green light, and a cold aura was also emitted from it.

  "Master." The six men and women chorused respectfully.
