Since he was pretending to be from the Bloodfall Mountain Range, he naturally had to act the part. This level of trickery was nothing to Qin Chen; he could even fool a Martial God expert, let alone deceive someone like Ji Ruri, who was merely half a step into the Martial God realm.
Ji Ruxing, having the lowest cultivation, quickly awoke from her meditation and looked at Qin Chen, feeling increasingly uncomfortable.
Although she was young, she was exceptionally beautiful, like a flower in bloom, just a bit inexperienced. Typically, she had no shortage of suitors, so many that she hardly paid them any mind. However, after seeing how Qin Chen treated her, a strong sense of anger surged within her.
How could this man be so despicable?
Daoshan was not very far from Jizhou, and within three days, they had already entered Jizhou.
Upon arriving in Jizhou, Ji Ruri finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had been worried that the Mo family would take action since Qin Chen had severed Mo Qianyuan’s arm, and the Mo family would certainly not let it go easily. Yet now that they entered Jizhou, the Mo family would not dare to intercept the Ji family's warship.
That would be tantamount to declaring war on the Ji family.
It seemed that Mo Qianyuan had sent a message to his family, but they had not yet dispatched experts to come over.
Next, Ji Ruri fully immersed himself in comprehension.
Radiant light encircled his body, resembling a deity, exuding a terrifying brilliance.
The same was true for Zi Yun Xianzi, who integrated with the heavens and earth with each breath, resonating with the Great Path, surrounded by colorful light.
The two were indeed top talents among the three heavens. Qin Chen estimated that, within a year, both would reach the Nineth Level Martial God realm and become formidable powerhouses.
This was all because of the Dao Fusion Grass and the Great Path Fruit. Without this opportunity, it would take them at least two or three years to reach the Martial God realm.
After nearly ten days of flying, the warship finally came to a stop with a loud rumble.
“We’ve arrived!”
The group disembarked from the warship, and what greeted their eyes was a magnificent complex of buildings.
This was the main residence of the Ji family, grand and imposing, akin to a palace, exuding an air of luxury.
Qin Chen shook his head, remembering that the Ji family of yesteryear was not like this. They had been a low-key hidden family, and now, they seemed like a nouveau riche, afraid others would not know of their wealth and power.
Moreover, this area was shrouded in restrictions, preventing ordinary people from entering easily. Even in the sky, there were powerful experts patrolling, mostly at the Martial Emperor level, imposing and majestic.
Under Ji Ruri's lead, the group entered the Ji family. There were many armored guards stationed; without Ji Ruri, ordinary people could not just walk in.
“Where are you, Ruyue?”
Qin Chen felt a stir in his heart, but he did not dare to freely release his mental energy to search around. Not to mention that this place was filled with restrictions, making it difficult to probe too deeply; if a top expert from the Ji family sensed him, it would be troublesome.
“Master Ji Ruri!”
“Miss Ji Ruxing!”
Soon, Qin Chen and Zi Yun Xianzi were brought to a courtyard. As soon as they entered, respectful voices rang around them. Several imposing figures approached, bowing respectfully upon seeing Ji Ruri, while they looked at Qin Chen and Zi Yun Xianzi with suspicion.
Ji Ruri nodded slightly and addressed the group, “This is Zi Yun Xianzi, and this one is the talented Tie Niu we’ve recruited into the Ji family.”
He then smiled at Qin Chen and said, “Brother Tie Niu, these individuals are all talents the Ji family has recruited in Jizhou; they can be considered members of our Ji family. This place is where our family accommodates various geniuses.”
Qin Chen looked over and saw that these individuals were all quite impressive, each with strong cultivation, although their ages varied.
