Ji Xuan was shocked. She never expected that the Second Elder would openly plot against her Xuanyuan Dao Body, and a sense of despair washed over her.

"Second Elder, how could you do this!"

Second Elder Ji Yun said expressionlessly, "Ji Xuan, I have no grudge against you, but Ji Lan fused with the Xuanyuan Immortal Sword for the future of the entire Ji Clan, so I have no choice but to sacrifice you!"

"you……"

Ji Xuan's voice trembled as she turned to look at the Grand Elder, Ji Chang.

Grand Elder Ji Chang has always stood by her side.

At this critical moment, Ji Xuan hoped that he could stand up and say a few words for her.

"Why!"

The Grand Elder Ji Chang closed his eyes, his face showing pain.

"Hehe, don't expect anyone to speak up for you. If it weren't for Ji Lan's strong outburst today, which salvaged the reputation of our Ji clan, we would already be trampled underfoot by the Chi clan!" Second Elder Ji Yun said indifferently.

Many members of the Ji clan below the stage echoed the sentiment.

"That's right, the Chi tribe came to provoke us. Logically, it should be you, the Heavenly Maiden, who should have saved our face, but who told you to be such a good-for-nothing!"

"That's right, what's the point of clinging to the Xuanyuan Dao Body if you're a useless piece of trash? Hand it over as soon as possible. Treasures have always belonged to the virtuous. What our Ji clan needs is an emperor who can protect us, not a useless celestial maiden!"

"Hand over the Xuanyuan Dao Body, stop wasting time!"

"Exactly, that's too selfish! We only tolerate your failures time and time again because you're the granddaughter of the former clan chief. If it were any other clan member, they would have kicked you out long ago!"

"That's absolutely right. People should have some self-awareness and not make things too ugly!"

"..."

The many Ji clan members below the stage chimed in with their own opinions.

Each word was like a sharp knife, piercing Ji Xuan's heart.

She trembled all over, her heart filled with confusion.

It wasn't that she cared about the Xuanyuan Dao Body.

It was the attitude of the Ji clan towards her that she found unacceptable.

"Xuan'er..."

A somber voice rang out.

Ji Xuan looked up and saw that the person speaking was the Grand Elder.

"For the sake of the Ji clan, you should make some sacrifices!"

These words chilled Ji Xuan to the bone.

She stopped trembling.

When a person is extremely disappointed, they will not be afraid of anything.

Ji Xuan straightened her back and then bowed deeply to the Grand Elder.

"Yes, sir!"

With a single step, Ji Xuanlian unleashed a surge of spiritual energy within her, causing her meridians to rupture instantly under the immense impact.

She suppressed the churning blood in her chest and slammed her right palm down hard.

puff!

Semen and blood spurted out.

Ji Xuan reached out and grabbed, and before the essence blood even hit the ground, it was already condensed into a ball of blood.

In the center of the blood sphere, there was a golden longsword.

It looks exactly like the Xuanyuan Immortal Sword.

"You've suffered, child, you must understand!"

The Grand Elder Ji Chang's eyes showed reluctance.

Shattering one's Dao body is incredibly painful, yet Ji Xuan remained completely silent.

"I understand, it's all for the future of the Ji clan!"

Ji Xuan forced a bitter smile.

Having lost the Xuanyuan Dao Body, her pretty face was as white as paper, devoid of any color.

Second Elder Ji Yun walked over and hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Ji Xuan, I'm not targeting you personally. At least you can still live as a member of the Ji clan from now on!"

Many of the Ji clan members below the stage also fell silent at this moment.

Looking back on how they had pressured Ji Xuan, it was truly excessive.

Ji Xuan slowly shook her head, "Take the Xuanyuan Dao Body, but I must remind you that this Xuanyuan Dao Body is incomplete, and it may not be able to allow Ji Lan to perfectly integrate with it!"

Second Elder Ji Yun said, "It's alright. With Ji Lan's talent, even if the Xuanyuan Dao Body is slightly damaged, it won't matter. It's enough to defeat those Chi Clan guys!"

Ji Xuan flicked her wrist and threw the orb of light from the Xuanyuan Dao Body over.

Second Elder Ji Yun carefully accepted it, his eyes filled with excitement.

With the Xuanyuan Dao Body, Ji Lan's rise to prominence is just around the corner.

Ji Xuan, on the other hand, staggered around and walked away unsteadily.

Wherever they went, the Ji clan members made way for them.

No one comforted her.

However, many people looked at him with admiration.

They could never do what Ji Xuan did when they were in a long-distance relationship.

As Ji Xuan walked out of the square, another deafening roar sounded behind her, followed by cheers.

"Excellent! The Emperor has already fused with the Xuanyuan Immortal Sword!"

"Hahaha, the revival of the Ji clan is in sight!"

"We won! What are the insignificant Chi tribes compared to us!"

"..."

Ji Xuan closed her eyes. She didn't need to turn around to know that Ji Lan had successfully fused with the Xuanyuan Immortal Sword.

Although I've let go of it, there's still one last hurdle in my heart that I can't overcome for the time being.

"Are you willing to hand over the Xuanyuan Dao Body just like that?"

A familiar voice rang out.

Ji Xuan opened her eyes in surprise, only to see Tang Xuan standing in front of her with Yao Yue.

She was immediately startled.

You must know that this is the most important place for the Ji clan. Only members of the Ji clan are allowed to enter. No matter who the outsiders are, even if Tang Xuan claims to be her grandfather's friend, they are not allowed to enter.

"How did you get here! Let's go..."

Ji Xuan said anxiously.

Fortunately, everyone's attention was on Ji Lan at the time, and no one noticed Tang Xuan's arrival; otherwise, it would have been a huge problem.

"Hehe, is there a problem?" Tang Xuan asked with a smile.

Ji Xuan gritted her teeth, glanced back, and breathed a sigh of relief when she found that no Ji clan members had arrived.

"You must leave quickly! This is forbidden territory of the Ji clan. If you are discovered, your life will be in danger!"
