Ji Wuyan had never suffered such an insult before. His face turned as black as burnt charcoal, his aura surged, his clothes fluttered, and even the sky above his head changed color, with dark clouds gathering.
He said coldly, "You're asking for death!"
Instantly, his hand formed a claw and reached for Zhuo Ziyu. Yuan Zhi's expression changed, and he subconsciously wanted to protect his master's senior brother, but Xie Ji'an stopped him with a look.
Zhuo Ziyu snorted disdainfully, "Hmph."
Then, he easily dodged Ji Wuyan's attack and even kicked him in the butt. Ji Wuyan's handsome face turned red and white in turns, which was quite a sight to behold.
Qiyue found it amusing and inwardly applauded Zhuo Ziyu.
[Fifth Senior Brother always seemed unreliable, but I never expected his current strength to be enough to easily crush the Celestial Palace's Divine Son. He's truly amazing.]
Emboldened by the praise, Zhuo Ziyu worked even harder, and with a look of elation, kicked Ji Wuyan in the chest again.
"Aaaaaah!!! You're asking for it!!!" Ji Wuyan roared in a fit of impotent rage.
The person protecting him, seeing Ji Wuyan humiliated time and again, could no longer contain himself: "You brat, how dare you!"
A roar filled with oppressive fury resounded through the sky, and a figure emerged from the shadows, heading towards Zhuo Ziyu with intense killing intent. Xie Ji'an and Song Yanzhuo immediately sprang into action.
"That shameless old scoundrel who dared to use underhanded tactics wanted to kill my junior brother without even asking if I agreed!"
The two, exuding an aura of destruction, faced a white-haired old man with a sinister face, considerable strength, and an arrogant demeanor.
The two were easily forced back. Seeing that the situation was not right, the old man flashed and landed next to Ji Wuyan, grabbing him.
"Divine Child, as long as we're alive, we can always rebuild! Let's go!"
"Leave?" Gu Xingchuan retorted, landing in front of the two with a cold smile: "Do you think you can leave?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a formation instantly enveloped the two of them.
The old man's face darkened, his expression filled with apprehension: "It's actually a formation test! And a tenth-grade spirit-level one at that..."
Qiyue's eyes lit up immediately.
"Sixth Senior Brother! You've already reached the tenth level of the Spirit Realm?"
"Hmm." Gu Xingchuan looked pleased, seeking praise.
July clapped her hands and exclaimed, "Great!"
Ji Wuyan's face darkened, and he clenched his fists tightly, his eyes surging with jealousy and hatred. Damn it! This person comes from a small sect and looks even younger than him, yet he is already a tenth-grade spirit-level array master, while he, despite having countless resources and secret treasures inherited from the Immortal Palace, is only an eighth-grade!
How is that possible?!
Could this person be the reincarnation of a powerful being?
Yes, that must be the case; otherwise, how can it be explained?
Thinking of this, Ji Wuyan's mood calmed down.
A calculating glint flashed in his eyes. Who knew how many tricks this old monster still had up his sleeve? Rather than offending him, it was better to show weakness for now and inform the Palace Master when we got back.
Having made up his mind, he put on an apologetic look: "What happened today was my fault. Please forgive my rudeness, senior, for the sake of me being a member of the Immortal Palace."
He lowered his posture, even his proud head. Gu Xingchuan was naturally unwilling, but Qi Yue didn't think so.
[Below the Immortal Palace lie countless immortal sects and families of the Spirit Realm, even ancient divine beast clans, backed by the Heavenly Dao. The current Myriad Generations Holy Sect is not yet capable of confronting them. It's better to do them a favor and ask for some benefits, regardless of whether they are sincere or not.]
"Senior brother, since they've already said that, why don't you just let them go?"
She landed in front of Gu Xingchuan and tugged at his sleeve, as if pleading for mercy on his behalf.
Having already heard Qi Yue's thoughts, Gu Xingchuan frowned slightly and pondered for a moment before going along with it, saying, "Since my junior sister is pleading for you, I can't say anything. I'll let you go today for my junior sister's sake."
"Thank you, senior." Ji Wuyan quickly expressed his gratitude, but he was filled with doubt in his heart.
Didn't we say we'd release them? Why isn't this formation dispelled yet?
Qiyue coughed.
How can this person be so clueless about social etiquette?
Her gaze was fixed on the high-level spatial ring on Ji Wuyan's index finger.
Xie Ji'an and the others couldn't suppress their smiles.
Junior sister really doesn't miss any opportunity to get something for free, what a little money-grubber!
But in Ji Wuyan's eyes, that smile was interpreted as ill intent and a cold laugh.
The old man followed Qiyue's gaze, his lips twitching.
What do you mean by pleading for them? This is clearly robbery! And they say it so openly, it's utterly shameless!
But despite his thoughts and dissatisfaction, he still reminded Ji Wuyan.
"Divine Child, I think these people have good talent. Since they've agreed to release us, why not give them some benefits? Consider it a good deed; they might be able to serve you in the future."
Hearing the old man's telepathic message, Ji Wuyan understood everything. Then, seeing Qiyue staring intently at his high-level spatial ring, his face twitched, and he looked pained.
He has a lot of treasures in here!
Hopefully, these people won't go too far...
He thought for a moment and took out a spirit sword from his spatial ring: "This sword is the Frost Sword, forged from ten-thousand-year-old black iron and frost marrow. I see that this young lady is also a sword cultivator, and has a water spirit root. This sword is a perfect match for you. To thank you for pleading for me, I am willing to give this sword to you."
Even under the blazing sun, the sword, radiating a chilling aura, sent a shiver down Gu Xingchuan's spine as he stood nearby.
July's eyes gleamed with golden light.
Wow! As expected of the Celestial Palace's Divine Child! He casually takes out something like the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Frost Marrow!
"Oh, Divine Child, you're too kind. Look at what you're saying, we're all friends, all friends! I feel so embarrassed by your actions, I don't know whether to accept it or not..."
As Qiyue spoke, she didn't answer, but just stared at Ji Wuyan with a longing smile.
Ji Wuyan forced a smile on the surface, but inside he was roaring like a stupid dog, "Oh my god! You're embarrassed? You call this embarrassing? You've practically thrown an abacus bead in my face!!!"
But he still had to force a smile and stuff it into the other person's hand: "We became friends after a fight. Since we're friends, please accept it. If you don't accept it, then you're looking down on me."
"In that case, I'll accept it. It won't be a rejection of the Divine Child's kind offer." Qi Yue's face beamed with joy.
Ji Wuyan gritted his teeth to pieces, the old man was speechless, Zhuo Ziyu was trembling from holding back laughter, Xie Ji'an suppressed his laughter so much that his nostrils flared up, and Le Luoxi and the others were practically biting their lips until they bled.
Qiyue's scheming hands didn't stop at all; on the contrary, she became somewhat blatant.
She looked at the spirit sword in her hand with a complicated expression: "Alas, we come from a small sect and don't have a decent spirit weapon. My senior brothers and sisters have been so good to me, but I have nothing to repay them with. If possible, I would like to sell this Frost Sword and exchange it for some decent magic treasures for my senior brothers and sisters. What do you think, Divine Child?"
