“Bold audacity.” Ji Tianqi was furious, and with a roar, a terrifying divine light erupted from within him, illuminating his body with radiant brilliance. With a swift motion, it swept over Ji Ruyue.
Bang.
Ji Ruyue was directly sent flying, spitting out blood.
“Have you all gone against the heavens? This is the Ji Family, not a place for you to run amok!” Ji Tianqi shouted angrily.
“Boom!”
The head of the family was enraged, causing the heavens and earth to tremble. Ji Wuxue and Ji Ruyue were suppressed, but both showed no signs of compromise, proudly looking to the sky.
“I refuse. I do not want to become the saintess.” Ji Ruyue stated word by word, each syllable shaking the heavens.
Boom! A terrifying aura rose from her body, and under Ji Tianqi's pressure, she slowly stood up.
“Ah!” Ji Wuxue also roared in fury, her aura boiling, as if a deity within her was bursting forth, towering and releasing boundless deathly energy.
This scene shocked everyone present.
Ji Wuxue and Ji Ruyue, both human venerables, were actually resisting the head of the Ji Family, and the aura they emitted caused many earth venerables to change color, creating an uproar in the entire Council Hall.
Everyone looked at Ji Wuxue and Ji Ruyue in disbelief.
No wonder their strength had risen so rapidly; such talent was simply astonishing.
“Ancestor.” Ji Tiandao hurriedly stood up, ready to speak.
“Shut up!” Ji Tianqi roared. Ji Tiandao had been speaking up for Ji Wuxue and Ji Ruyue; how could he allow him to speak? Ji Wuxue and Ji Ruyue's resistance instantly left the head of the family without face, feeling a chill in his heart.
Boom! A vast aura of heavenly venerable power erupted from Ji Tianqi, striking fiercely at Ji Wuxue and Ji Ruyue. With a loud bang, they were immediately sent flying.
Both were bound by the power of heavenly venerable energy, blood pouring from their bodies, lying helplessly on the great hall floor.
Desolate and tragic.
Yet, their eyes remained cold and resolute, staring forward at Ji Tianqi, showing defiance.
“This is simply going against the heavens.” Ji Tianqi was enraged and clasped his hands, “Ancestor, Ji Wuxue and Ji Ruyue have gone too far, defying clan rules. I propose that these two be imprisoned in Hell Mountain for punishment, to serve as a warning to others.”
Imprisoned in Hell Mountain?
Instantly, everyone in the hall changed color.
Hell Mountain was the place where the Ji Family punished its members; it was incredibly terrifying, and those who entered suffered greatly.
“Ancestor, this cannot be.” Ji Tiandao hurriedly interjected.
“Ancestor, these two have violated the family rules so severely. If there is no punishment, how will the Ji Family maintain its dignity? Wouldn't the disciples think they can do whatever they want?” Ji Tianqi reprimanded sternly.
“Ji Wuxue, Ji Ruyue, do you two realize your mistakes?” Ji Tianyao looked indifferently at the two.
“I am not at fault.” Ji Wuxue raised her head and said, “Ancestor, Ruyue already has a husband. Her husband is the holy son of heavenly work, with a distinguished status. If he finds out that Ruyue is sent to the Xiao Clan, he will definitely not let it go.”
Ji Ruyue also resolutely declared, “I will never become the saintess.”
“Preposterous, simply too audacious! Ancestor, listen to this.” Ji Tianqi laughed in anger, “Unwilling to back down, a mere holy son of heavenly work—what ability does he have to make you unwilling to compromise? Ji Wuxue, I see you've been in the Ji Family for too long, forgetting your position.”
“Let’s not even mention the holy son of heavenly work; even if the master of the heavenly work hall came, what of it? Ancestor, these two are lawless, I ask you to order them imprisoned in Hell Mountain.” Ji Tianqi declared loudly.
Ji Tianyao gazed at the two, shaking his head slightly before sighing, “Since you are so stubborn, very well. Someone, take Ji Wuxue and Ji Ruyue to Hell Mountain. Furthermore, Ji Wuxue will be imprisoned in the core area of Hell Mountain, while Ji Ruyue will be on the outskirts. Only if you admit your fault will you be released. I want to see if you both will still have the audacity to refuse then.”
