Chapter 122: Visitors from All Sides

“Ridiculous!”

Upon hearing this, Ji Guiyi not only did not restrain himself, but instead became even more agitated.

Boom!

He struck another palm, and the earthy-yellow law power slammed against the barrier.

Crack!

The protective barrier of Biyan Cave appeared with crack-like spider web patterns.

“All Elders, protect the formation with full strength!”

Seeing this, Yao Qingtian quickly transmitted a message to all the Elders to maintain the barrier with their power; otherwise, once the barrier collapsed, no one could stop Ji Guiyi in his current frenzied state.

At that moment, Chen Ansheng, braving the violent vibrations, flew forward a little.

“Ji Guiyi, with your strength, breaking the barrier and killing us is a done deal, so why rush? Don’t you truly want to understand Ji Ziling’s background? Think about it. I’m just a lowly ant; what merit or ability do I have to make the noble young lady Ji Ziling treat me with such hostility?”

Chen Ansheng gazed ahead, speaking calmly.

Hearing this, Ji Guiyi actually stopped. Of course, the real reason was that his injuries flared up, forcing him to temporarily halt and wait for recovery.

Ji Guiyi’s eyes turned slightly red, glaring fiercely at Chen Ansheng: “No matter how you argue today, you cannot escape death!”

Chen Ansheng smiled and said, “I am but an insignificant being, so what is there to pity in my death? It is a shame that you are being toyed with by Nan Gong Xiu, in the end, you will probably become nothing more than a ghost with no peace.”

Ji Guiyi narrowed his eyes, still appearing angry on the surface, but his heart had calmed down a bit, “You scoundrel, my wife took you in with kindness, yet you repay her with malice, causing my daughter’s death, and you dare to sow discord here!”

Chen Ansheng expressed his disdain, saying:

“Seeing you in such a majestic posture, I expected you to be a formidable character, only to find out you are just an empty-headed brute! Nan Gong Xiu kept me at Qian Yue Cave, merely to fulfill a vow she had with my older brother Li; what do you mean by taking me in with kindness? It’s absolutely laughable.

“Moreover, just because I was introduced by my brother Li, Ji Ziling had been plotting to kill me, and Nan Gong Xiu did nothing to stop it! Is that what you call kindness?

“Forget it, saying more to you brutes is useless. Let me clearly state two points: first, Ji Ziling died because the ancestral tombstone fell on her, so if you want revenge, go dig her grave at Ninefold Flower Mountain. Second, Nan Gong Xiu admitted with her own mouth that Ji Ziling’s biological father is my older brother Li, so you might as well accept reality and stop deceiving yourself.”

After hearing all this, Ji Guiyi’s blood surged, aggravating his injuries, and it hurt so much that he nearly fell from the air.

“Li Zhengyang, haha, I shouldn’t have just broken your dog leg back then; I should have killed you with a single sword!”

Ji Guiyi felt intense frustration and pain in his heart.

“Damn woman, my life was destroyed by you; ahhh!”

At the moment Ji Guiyi was going mad, the figure of Nan Gong Xiu gracefully approached.

“Guiyi, don’t listen to his nonsense. He is cunning and deceitful, trying to anger you, disrupt your focus, and provoke your injuries to resurface!”

Nan Gong Xiu, with hair flowing down, fixed a stern gaze on Chen Ansheng.

Ji Guiyi showed a painful expression and simply closed his eyes, ignoring Nan Gong Xiu.

Chen Ansheng sneered, “But these are your own words. What? Do you want to argue again?”

Nan Gong Xiu appeared indifferent, saying, “Back then, you used your power to bully others and seized the spirit liquid. My daughter’s life was in danger, so in order to save her, I had no choice but to sacrifice my pure reputation, even kneeling before you. You wolf-hearted and dog-blooded scoundrel! How dare you spread falsehoods in the face of ironclad facts!”

The atmosphere suddenly froze.

With all this back-and-forth, Ji Guiyi’s mind became quite muddled.

Then he looked at Nan Gong Xiu and asked, “What? You actually knelt before him?!”

Nan Gong Xiu’s eyes reddened, tears swirling, “For the sake of my daughter, I had no choice but to kneel and had to lie to him, saying my daughter is Li’s! Unfortunately, my daughter was still killed by them. Chen Ansheng and Yao Jianyuan are the chief culprits, and the others are merely accomplices. If you are still a man, kill them today and avenge our daughter!”

Ji Guiyi originally planned to sever ties with Nan Gong Xiu and strip her of her powers, but after hearing these words, his heart wavered.

“A Xiu, I will ask you one more time. Answer honestly. No matter the result, I will not pursue the matter further. Have you ever had intimate relations with Li Zhengyang?”

“Slap!”

Nan Gong Xiu slapped him.

“Ji Guiyi! How many vows do you need from me? Over the years, you have repeatedly wronged and humiliated me, and I endured it all for our daughter! Now that our daughter is dead, why must I continue to suffer the mental torment you inflict on me, you bastard coward? If you’re a real man, just give me a quick death!”

Seeing Nan Gong Xiu tearful, nearly going mad, Ji Guiyi rushed forward to hold her arms: “Xiu, I believe you… I was just impatient and misunderstood you. Don’t cry, today I will definitely kill all the evil-doers and avenge our daughter!”

Nan Gong Xiu wore a desolate expression, murmuring, “If you want revenge, don’t drag your feet; delays will bring changes.”

“Alright, I’ll listen to you!”

Ji Guiyi finally steeled his heart, preparing for a massacre.

“Hmph! I thought it was some Immortal King who came, but it’s just you, Ji Guiyi, a pathetic loser. Do you really think I, Zhou Taiyuan, am dead? Coming to my grandson’s territory to shout and make threats!”

Just as Ji Guiyi prepared to act, hundreds of powerful figures descended from the heavens!

At the forefront stood an old man dressed in a purple robe with mysterious patterns, holding an eight-trigram mirror, exuding an impressive aura!

This old man was Yao Jianyuan’s adoptive grandfather, the head of the Zhou Family, Zhou Taiyuan!

In this region of Nan Zhan, the Zhou Family was second only to the Zhu Family and was considered a colossal force in the eyes of the smaller factions.

With Ji Guiyi entirely alone and no allies, could he really challenge a prominent family on his own?!

“Chen, my junior brother, my grandfather is here; there’s no need to worry, haha.”

Upon seeing Zhou Taiyuan arrive, Yao Jianyuan relaxed and said with a smile.

“What realm is your grandfather?” Chen Ansheng asked.

“He was once a Celestial Immortal!” Yao Jianyuan replied.

“What do you mean? What about now?” Chen Ansheng asked curiously.

“It’s a long story, but even if his realm has deteriorated, he still possesses the body and might of a Celestial Immortal, and it doesn’t necessarily mean he’s weaker than the current Ji Guiyi. So don’t worry,” Yao Jianyuan said confidently.

“That’s good,” Chen Ansheng sighed with relief; otherwise, today he would have no option to escape except hiding for a few hours behind the boundary stone.

Chen Ansheng thought this way because he was unaware that Ghost Grandfather, this Celestial Immortal, had long been lurking in the void several kilometers away.

Once he was in danger, Ghost Grandfather would certainly take action to suppress Ji Guiyi, protecting Young Master Chen, as it was a strict order from his Master!

Hundreds of powerful figures descended one by one.

Zhou Taiyuan waved his large sleeves and said, “Open the mountain gate barrier, today I want to see who dares to act wildly!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Wu and a black-clad man whose features were unclear also arrived in the sky, watching everything below.
