Chapter 404: Disguised "Peace Talks"
Most of these men had some cultivation experience. Ji Wantang’s move would not kill them, but it was enough to destroy their cultivation.
Ji Wantang supported his head and glanced at them indifferently, as if these men of different styles in front of him were not the men with whom he had had a relationship, but strangers.
"The forces behind you sent you here just to use my influence to give you some benefits. Now that they see that I lost a game, they are planning to leave. How can you say that the forces behind you have gained some benefits over the years?"
Those men who had not dared to ask Ji Wantang to leave before knelt down and begged for mercy: "Your Highness, please spare us, Your Highness, please spare us! Even if Your Highness does not consider us, you should consider the young ladies and gentlemen in the mansion! Please give us a way out."
Ji Wantang sneered: "I have been practicing Taoism until now, and I have only robbed others, but never others robbed me. You have the guts to plot against me."
She supported her uncomfortable body and stood up. Seeing her shaky appearance, a teenager standing in the second row gritted his teeth and stood up: "Crazy woman, I will kill you!"
Ji Wantang stretched out her hand, and her seemingly slender and frail palm lightly pinched the head of the heart-beating boy, then she gently closed her five fingers.
The boy's head exploded like a balloon.
The young children kneeling on the ground burst into tears and hid in the arms of their fathers or wet nurses, avoiding their biological mothers in fear.
Ji Wantang stood with his hands behind his back. He glanced over and saw a little girl standing beside her father without crying or making a fuss, looking at him quietly with her big eyes.
Ji Wantang was rarely curious about his children, whom he had never paid attention to: "What's your name?"
The little girl answered crisply: "Mianmian."
Ji Wantang then noticed that the man kneeling next to the little girl seemed to be her concubine who had always been in charge of affairs in her house. It seemed that he was a helmsman of Guangming Hall in the past?
It’s okay if you don’t think about it, but once you think about it, more memories pop up.
This helmsman seemed to be the key person who helped her gain a foothold in Guangming Hall, because he was the favorite descendant of the Guangming Hall's ancestor.
"What's your name?"
Whether it was because of his daughter's own performance or the companionship and support from his concubine over the years, Ji Wantang had become more or less patient with his eldest daughter.
The young man in white watched Ji Wantang pick up his daughter for the first time and replied, "No big name."
Ji Wantang looked at the little girl in his arms for a while, then looked at the night outside, "Mianmian, you are too weak, so let's call you Ji Xingmian. Stars don't lie on the mountains and seas, and sitting for a long time may not make you fall asleep. You are in a high position, and you support the universe with all your strength."
She took out a blood-red jade pendant from her sleeve and hung it around her daughter's neck. She looked at the young man in white with a calm look in her eyes: "Take Xingmian to the Ji family in Tianhuang Continent and say that she is my daughter. My brother will understand when he sees this jade pendant. When the situation here stabilizes, I will take you back."
The young man in white seemed to understand something and lowered his head: "Yes."
No matter how dumb the others were, they could understand what Ji Wantang meant, and they quickly stepped forward and cried for mercy.
The second disciple of the head of Hehuan Palace hugged his crying son and choked up, "Your Highness, Chenghuan is also your child."
Ji Wantang glanced at the crying meat bun with disgust. There seemed to be a hint of murderous intent in his eyes, which made the concubine's hands holding the child stiffen.
"Your Highness..."
Ji Wantang had already taken the child out of his arms and threw him to the servant beside him. He pinched his neck, his eyes bloodshot: "Are you threatening me?"
"Your Highness, don't do that!" Ji Xingmian's father couldn't help but stepped forward to persuade him: "He is a direct disciple of Hehuan Palace. If you accidentally kill him at this time, Hehuan Palace will have an excuse to leave your team."
After hearing this, Ji Wantang threw the man to the ground.
"Then pass on my order, please appoint Ji Chenghuan, the second son of Prince Ding's Mansion, as the Prince Ding's Crown Prince."
The second disciple of Hehuan Palace turned pale instantly, not daring to believe what he heard: "Your Highness..."
Ji Wantang looked at him with a half-smile: "Isn't this what you Hehuan Palace wanted? Now I've given it to you, you should be happy. Everyone else, watch out, if you want to leave, return all the benefits that Ding Wangfu has brought you over the years before you leave. I, Ji Wantang, have never let anyone take advantage of me for nothing."
Her words set the tone for the matter. After Ji Xingmian's father handled the matter according to her wishes, he took his daughter to Ji Wantang's room.
Ji Wantang was dressed in white, sitting on the cold jade couch, his face as pale as paper.
"Your Highness."
Ji Wantang opened his eyes: "If I lose again, Lin Zhao will not kill them. Of course, she will not keep my Dingwang Mansion."
Luo Shujue asked, "Your Highness, do you think you will lose?"
Ji Wantang rarely answered.
Finally, she had to say the most difficult words in front of her daughter: "At least, Lin Zhao made me understand that no one can always win, but I will definitely not always lose."
Luo Shujue sighed and said, "I will send Mianmian and the others to Tianhuang Continent. For the rest of the journey, regardless of life or death, win or lose, I will accompany Your Highness."
Ji Wantang narrowed his eyes and looked at him.
Luo Shujue lowered his head. Ji Wantang couldn't see his expression but could hear his voice.
"Luo Shu Jue will never die after Your Highness."
……
The first thing Lin Zhao did after stepping out of the cave and returning to the Zuhuang plane was to send Yang Weiwei back to Yehuang City.
After sending Yang Weiwei off, Lin Zhao returned to the Phoenix Medicine Sect and learned from Yun Fei that the upper selection would probably begin at noon tomorrow, and Ji Wantang had not appeared since the day he made an appointment with her to fight.
There are still some people from the Zuhuang plane in the world of souls and spirits, so when Ji Wantang and Lin Zhao fought in the world of souls and spirits, everyone knew the news of their defeat after the result of their battle came out.
Yun Fei followed Lin Zhao and said to her, "It is said that many people are missing from Prince Ding's mansion, and Ji Wantang's eldest daughter was secretly sent back to her hometown. Do you think she is afraid?"
Although he defeated Ji Wantang in the spiritual world, Lin Zhao did not feel that he could easily win if Ji Wantang's true body fought against him, not to mention that Ji Wantang would be afraid of him.
You have to know that when Ji Wantang was defeated in the world of spirits and souls, he was somewhat underestimating his enemy and was unable to fully control the power of his ancestors.
Taking away the ancient phoenix luck by himself might be a relief for Ji Wantang’s ancestral spirit power.
If Ji Wantang no longer underestimates the enemy and has a better grasp of the power of the ancestral spirits, then his combat effectiveness will surely see a terrifying increase.
Of course, Lin Zhao was not without means of improvement.
She has not yet used the core power of Zulong.
When the election begins and the two fight again, it is still unknown who will win.
Lin Zhao shrugged: "Maybe she just thinks that I won't take other people's lives, but the same may not be true for her designated successor."
Yun Fei blinked: "Doesn't this mean she thinks you will win?"
"No, she was telling me that if she wins, she won't take the lives of anyone on my side, she'll just suppress them."
Is this a disguised form of peace talks between the two sides?
For the first time, Lin Zhao discovered that she actually knew so well this opponent whom she had only met a few times.
