Chapter 1045 Deadly Advice in an Instant
The spring breeze is intoxicating, and all things are kept in the heart.
The dragon among men, Ji Yinan, is about to leave Yingzhou!
On this day, Ji Yinan drove his carriage, drinking wine, and arrived at the north of Luoji Mountain, where Luoji Mountain could already be seen in the distance.
Inside the carriage were Ji Linghai, an elder of the Ji family, and Mei Ying.
Ji Linghai slept and was drunk the whole way. He and Ji Yinan both had things on their minds, but neither of them said anything. They weren't close, and both of them were rather reserved.
Mei Ying remained unchanged, and Ji Linghai was unable to break the mysterious Gu technique within her body.
Having no other choice, Ji Yinan could only use the Ji family's secret technique to temporarily control Mei Ying. Ji Yinan himself couldn't explain why he brought Mei Ying along. His plan was to hand Mei Ying over to Ji Yihong after returning to the Ji family, and he wouldn't care what Ji Yihong did with her.
Ji Yinan was of course unaware that Ji Yihong had already gone to Yanquan.
When Ji Yinan arrived at the foot of the desolate mountain, a golden light flashed before his eyes as he was drunk. Ji Yinan looked up into the distance, swallowed the last mouthful of wine, and took a long breath!
"Senior, that, that's the Ji family's God-Slaying Army, isn't it?"
The entire ridge of the desolate mountain was filled with people, both on horseback and on horseback. The horses were clad in dark yellow armor, and the riders were also clad in dark yellow armor, with only their eyes showing.
Everyone held a long spear, lined up in a row, completely silent, yet the chilling aura they exuded blocked the spring breeze and bent the grass.
Ji Yinan recognized it at a glance as the Ji family's God-Slaying Army. To his surprise, how could the God-Slaying Army appear in the border area between Youzhou and Yingzhou?
Ji Linghai stepped out of the carriage, his gaunt face flushed slightly; he had drunk quite a bit along the way!
At this moment, more than thirty riders of the God-Slaying Army appeared simultaneously in front of and behind Ji Yinan's carriage.
Ji Linghai was slightly taken aback!
"Could the upheaval in Youzhou have been orchestrated by the Ji family behind the scenes?"
Ji Yinan's expression was solemn. He had guessed it too. It was obvious that Murong Luqing and the Gongsun family of Youzhou had both submitted to the Ji family, otherwise the Ji family's God-Slaying Army would not have appeared here.
Ji Linghai and Ji Yinan couldn't understand why the God-Slaying Army would block their way.
"Senior, is this killing intent directed at you or at me?"
The murderous aura of the Ji family's God-Slaying Army had already enveloped them. Just as Ji Yinan finished asking his question, the God-Slaying Army soldiers, spears in hand, rode straight towards Ji Yinan's carriage.
"boom!"
"hiss…"
With a deafening roar, several horses neighed and turned to the side. The immense energy stirred up towering clouds of dust that lingered for a long time.
Amidst the smoke and dust, Gui Gu and Shen Ying blocked the Ji family's God-Slaying Army, one in front and one behind.
In the pavilion of Luoji Mountain, two people were playing chess. One was Mo Qu, a woman with a mask on, and the other was a person in a black and yellow armor, whose eyes were also exposed. Next to them stood a red-tasseled spear, which shimmered with a black and yellow light and shone brightly in the sunlight, dazzlingly bright.
Mo Qu and his companion must have reached a crucial point in their descent, as they paid no attention to the billowing dust rising into the air in front of Luoji Mountain.
"The worst thing you can do in chess is to overthink things. How about that? You've put yourself in a difficult position, haven't you?"
Mo Qu stood up with a smile and looked down at the desolate mountain. She had won, but not because she had won; rather, her opponent was caught in a dilemma.
"Sigh, compromise is really hard!"
The man in the dark yellow armor threw away the chess piece in his hand, stood up and looked down at the foot of the desolate mountain. His expression changed slightly.
"Why are Ghost Lone and Divine Shadow following him?"
"It's very simple. Saint Hidden Feather has always supported Ji Qingfeng and his son. Haha... See? I told you you couldn't kill him!"
"Does Qianzong Mountain also support the young master of the Ji family marrying the holy maiden of the Xuan Nu Sect of Qingwei Mountain?"
"Tch, you still don't understand. The God-Slaying Army is the Ji family's army for conquering the world. It shouldn't get involved in the Ji family's internal strife. That's a major taboo, let alone attacking the current young master of the Ji family!"
A mocking expression appeared on Mo Qu's lips.
"The patriarch hesitated and did not heed the advice of the God-Slaying Army. The God-Slaying Army had no choice but to make the decision for the patriarch. As you know, I obey the patriarch!"
"Hmph, I don't care at all who you take orders from. As a friend, I'm just giving you a heads-up: you'd better watch yourself!"
Mo Qu left because Ji Linghai had come. She didn't want to see him, or rather, she didn't want to be misunderstood as having this as Qian Zongshan's intention.
Ji Linghai landed in the pavilion and said calmly:
"Why is she gone?"
"I'm afraid you'll misunderstand, senior!"
"Xuanwei, what do you mean by putting on this show?"
"This junior only wished to offer some advice to the young master of the Ji family; senior, you have misunderstood!"
Ji Linghai smiled slightly.
"Having failed to kill, he resorted to advice. Even the mighty General of the Ji family has learned to be flexible. This game has reached a point where he can neither advance nor retreat, so he has no choice but to find another way, right?"
Ji Linghai sat down beside the chessboard.
General Ji Xuanwei was in an awkward position. With Gui Gu, Shen Ying, and Ji Linghai all present, it was really difficult for him to kill Ji Yinan.
Ji Xuanwei bowed slightly and called out:
"General Ji Xuanwei of the Ji family, the valiant general, respectfully invites the young master!"
Standing before the desolate mountain, Ji Yinan frowned deeply. He dared not make any rash moves. The killing intent of the God-Slaying Army was real, and they had even harbored murderous intentions towards him. If Gui Gu and Shen Ying were not here today, he and Ji Linghai would probably have already returned to the desolate mountain.
"Senior, please speak frankly!"
Ji Yinan had no intention of going to Luoji Mountain.
"The various factions within the Ji family are constantly embroiled in conflict, and the family head has already shown a willingness to compromise. Xuanwei dares to ask the young master to stand up for himself and refuse the marriage proposal. This marriage is inappropriate in terms of sentiment, reason, power, and the Ji family!"
Ji Yinan was taken aback upon hearing this. He knew that since the beginning of his engagement with Huang Xiyi, the Zhushen Army had been opposed to it. For more than ten years, the Zhushen Army had been advising Ji Qingfeng against it, but his father, Ji Qingfeng, had been suppressing the issue, leaving it unresolved!
Ji Yinan himself was willing to accept this marriage, not only to balance the conflicts among the various factions in the Ji family, nor because of pressure from certain members of the Ji family, but because he genuinely liked Huang Xiyi, and had liked her since childhood.
Shen Yichen lost his memory, but Ji Yinan remembered everything. Huang Xiyi would come to the Ji family's imperial city in Zhongzhou every year, and they would have contact every year.
"This matter was decided by the elders of the Ji family and my father, and I cannot disobey!"
To be honest, Ji Yinan couldn't refuse the marriage proposal from any perspective, especially since they had been engaged for ten years and he was about to marry Huang Xiyi.
"Young Master, the Holy Maiden's entry into the Ji family may bring disaster to the Ji family. There are precedents for this, so please think twice before you act!"
Ji Yinan didn't understand, but Ji Linghai knew what Ji Xuanwei meant.
Hundreds of years ago, someone from the Ji family also married the Holy Maiden of the Qingwei Mountain Mysterious Maiden Sect. That marriage brought a great calamity to the Ji family. Moreover, the Holy Maiden was not the real Holy Maiden, but merely the Holy Maiden's designated successor.
"Senior, I have listened to my father's words, please forgive me!"
Ji Yinan didn't care about anything else. He couldn't change anything about this matter unless he died. The God-Slaying Army's purpose in coming here was to change this matter with his death.
General Ji Xuanwei fell silent. He actually had the ability to kill Ji Yinan, but he couldn't do it secretly.
Ji Linghai, Gui Gu, and Shen Ying will definitely be spared.
"Xuanwei, let me remind you, he is the new master of the Demon Extermination Hall. You should think twice!"
Ji Linghai just sensed Ji Xuanwei's killing intent again!
Ji Xuanwei suddenly turned his head and exclaimed in surprise:
"Is what you say true, senior?"
"Sigh, I'm getting old. Young people don't believe what I say anymore. Young Master, show him your token as the leader of the Demon Extermination Hall!"
Ji Yinan was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and reached out to take out the token of the Demon Extermination Hall.
General Ji Xuanwei's expression changed slightly, and after a long while, he bowed slightly!
"Congratulations to the young master!"
In the desolate mountains, all the God-Slaying Army headed west.
Ji Xuanwei also left, but he kept watching Ji Yinan until he could no longer see him.
After the God-Slaying Army left, Ji Yinan collapsed onto the carriage. His back was soaked with sweat. Just now, his life and death were truly in Ji Xuanwei's hands. With so many God-Slaying Army soldiers coming, Gui Gu and Shen Ying couldn't stop them!
