"Okay." Qin Chen held Ruyue's face, "If I go, I will definitely take you with me, but for now, we need to handle the matters of the Ji family first."

The issues with the Ji family must be resolved, as they are crucial to Qin Chen's upcoming plans.

The first thing to do is to control the strong members of the Ji family outside the ancestral land.

Just one day later, with the adjustment of many strong practitioners, the Ji family's ancestral land had nearly returned to its original state.

At the same time, the Grand Elder began issuing orders, summoning the high-level members of the Ji family from outside to the ancestral land for an important announcement.

Upon receiving the news, Ji Daoling and others outside naturally felt confused.

However, with the Grand Elder's order, they dared not disobey.

Thus, Ji Daoling, Ji Daoyuan, and others quickly entered the Ji family's ancestral land.

As soon as they entered the ancestral land, everyone felt that the atmosphere here was somewhat strange.

"Um? What's going on? Why are there suddenly so few strong practitioners in the ancestral land?"

Ji Daoling and Ji Daoyuan had entered the ancestral land several times, and in the past, there had always been many strong practitioners patrolling back and forth. But this time, the guardians of the ancestral land were surprisingly few, which puzzled everyone.

"What is the Grand Elder up to?" someone frowned.

"Wait, it seems like this place has just experienced a battle." Suddenly, Ji Daoling furrowed his brows and said solemnly.

This drew the attention of everyone.

Ji Daoling carefully observed the ancient castle of the ancestral land, his eyes growing more certain, "That's right, this place has definitely experienced a battle."

Although the ancestral land had been restored, such a fierce fight could not have made the ancestral land look exactly the same. Even the air still carried the remnants of heavenly thunder and the pungent smell of blood.

"Could it be that those strong practitioners from the Bloodfall Mountain were brought in by Ji Delong and had a conflict with the ancestor?" Ji Daoling couldn't help but take a deep breath.

This was not impossible. The three men had been so arrogant before, acting without regard for others, even daring to kill strong practitioners from the Mo family at will. One could not rule out the possibility of a conflict occurring in the ancestral land, after all, they had some understanding of what the so-called baptism truly entailed. "Those three from Bloodfall Mountain are indeed terrifying; they could stir up such chaos in my Ji family's ancestral land. But it doesn't matter, whoever enters my Ji family's ancestral land should not think of escaping." Ji Daoling sneered but was not at all nervous.

With the ancestor present, no matter how strong the opponent was, they would not escape death. However, the fact that they could cause such destruction in the ancestral land under the ancestor's watch was quite unexpected.

"This time, the Grand Elder must have called us here for this matter." Ji Daoling and the others nodded, their minds suddenly guessing, and then, under the lead of a strong practitioner, they entered a grand hall within the ancient castle.

"Um?"

As soon as they entered, Ji Daoling's expression turned cold. In the front of the hall, there was a chair where Ji Ruyue was sitting high above, with Ji Hongchen standing beside her.

"Ruyue?"

Ji Daoyuan was stunned for a moment, then his face changed drastically.

The others, including Ji Daoling, immediately showed anger: "Ji Ruyue, who allowed you to sit in that position? Get down!"

He shouted angrily at once.

Because the grand hall they were currently in was a meeting hall within the Ji family's ancestral land, and only the head of the Ji family had the right to sit in such a high position. "Ruyue, weren't you under house arrest? Where is the Grand Elder?" Ji Daoyuan asked in a hurry, his face filled with shock. Ruyue's actions were too bold, daring to sit in the master's position. If the Grand Elder found out, she would definitely face even harsher punishment.
