Upon learning that Ji Ge was dead, the elders at the Locking Star Pool were horrified.
Even geniuses have to be ranked. Ji Ge belongs to the top level, on par with Ji Xuan, Ji Bay and others.
"Ji Ru, please explain clearly what is going on?" an elder of seniority shouted.
Ji Ru bowed slightly and responded as a junior, making up a story about Ji Xuan killing people in a rage.
Ji Xuan and others certainly disagreed, and the two sides started arguing and debating.
But there were too many people behind Ji Ru, and the elders had preconceived ideas, which put Ji Xuan in a passive position.
After a long moment, Ji Ba angrily said, "If you want to investigate, then I must make it clear. Ji Ge was killed by Hong Yan herself, and she was also a witness. You can disbelieve me, Ji Xuan, and others, but can you disbelieve Hong Yan?"
The scene went cold.
Ji Yun asked: "Where is Hongyan? Why didn't she come out with us?"
Ji Ru immediately said: "This is another thing I want to report. Hong Yan is also dead. She was killed by Ji Xuan and others."
The elder was somewhat convinced about Ji Xuan's killing of Ji Ge. After all, the conflict between the two was well known to everyone.
But if you say that Ji Xuan killed his own sister, it doesn't make sense at all.
Besides, Ji Hongyan is at the seventh level, and no one can beat her except Ji Ru.
"Ji Ru, what's going on?"
Ji Ru continued to make up stories, portraying Ji Xuan as an ugly person who was jealous of his sister's power.
But before he could finish, Ji Xuan shouted, "It's hard to tell whether it's true or not. I ask all the elders to go into the ancestral land and conduct an on-site investigation to get to the bottom of everything. Ji Ru, do you dare?"
Ji Ba's eyes lit up, and he continued, "Yes, no matter how fast you are, you can't clear all the dark energy. The evidence is all in the Tomb Guardian City."
Unexpectedly, Ji Ru said leisurely, "You fought too fiercely and destroyed the Tomb Guard City, causing it to fall into an unknown vortex, containing Hong Yan's body. If the vortex wasn't too dangerous, I wouldn't dare enter. I must bring her body back. Since everyone has doubts, you can go to the ancestral land and see who is lying."
These words made Ji Xuan's heart sink to the bottom.
Only then did he realize how big the obstacles were and that it was not as simple as he had previously thought.
Suddenly I felt a little regretful that I shouldn't have trusted the Presbyterian Church too much, which led to me walking into a trap.
Ji Xuan turned to look at Ji Ru and said coldly, "You are really good at this!"
He looked at the elders on both sides of the long table again, but they seemed to be getting harder and harder to see, with their figures appearing and disappearing.
"The Council of Elders itself has problems. I don't know how many people have been controlled by darkness. Great Elder, are you a human or a ghost?"
“How dare you!” Ji Yun shouted, and the ninth level of Star-Swallowing Aura pressed down on him, majestic and vast.
He continued, "We've already thought of what you can think of. After Ji Ru's report, I immediately ordered people to investigate the ancestral land, and there will be results soon. Ji Xuan, if you are innocent, you will know soon. If you really killed someone, please give a reasonable explanation."
After saying that, Ji Yun returned to the long table and discussed the matter with other elders, excluding those who were not involved.
When there were no outsiders around, Ji Ru came close to the ground and gave Ji Xuan a kind smile.
"Why go against the tide? My power is more powerful and complex than you think."
Ji Xuan asked coldly, "Where are Hongyan and Chen An?"
"I just made it clear that they are already dead. Look, you've been charged with two more murders. All these incidents combined are enough to strip you of your Young Master status and impose imprisonment for a hundred thousand years. By then..."
Ji Ru lowered his voice and said, "You can only watch the Ji family rot and become increasingly filthy. Don't worry, I won't kill you. I will make you voluntarily submit to the darkness. That is your destiny."
Only they could hear these words, and Ji Ba and others were in a standoff.
Ji Xuan was silent.
His life has been smooth sailing, and even in the realm of gods he has had countless adventures, and has never encountered any major setbacks.
And now, he felt that he was falling into darkness and couldn't extricate himself.
Until at some point, a flash of inspiration came to his mind.
"No, it was Chen An who opened the passage, how could he die? As long as Chen An is alive, Hong Yan will definitely be fine. Ji Ru, even if you kill me today, Hong Yan will come back one day and expose your ugliness to the world."
These words made Ji Ru frown and feel depressed.
"Yes, Ji Hongyan and Chen An are indeed my biggest worries. But it doesn't matter. Once I control the Elders Council and have the final say, even if they say all sorts of things, it will be useless."
Ji Xuan had a bright smile on his face, completely different from his previous depression and helplessness.
"Ji Ru, no, I should call you Wu Tian. You should be familiar with Chen An's identity. He is not a member of the Ji family. He will spread your actions throughout the galaxy. If he attracts the emperor, how will you deal with it?"
Ji Ru's hand trembled and he remained silent for a long time.
At the end, he said to himself: "The body I use is too weak, otherwise there would be no need for all this trouble. When I find a more powerful carrier, what will the emperor fear?"
At this point, the elders' meeting ended.
The Great Elder Ji Yun announced the results.
"The investigation of the ancestral land was successfully completed. No anomalies were found in the major star tombs, and the ancestral coffins were intact. The tomb city was indeed destroyed, and there were no traces of the so-called dark energy in the surrounding area. The bodies of Ji Ge and others were discovered, and no dark energy was found on their bodies. In summary, Ji Xuan and others are lying. Ji Xuan, how do you defend yourself?"
Ji Xuan was too lazy to argue and asked again: "Are you a human or a ghost?"
Ji Yun looked at him, then at Ji Ru.
The latter immediately replied, "Young Master has always been decisive in his actions and would definitely not kill people recklessly. This is most likely a misunderstanding. In my opinion, the punishment should not be too severe. After all, the Young Master represents the reputation of the Ji family."
