They moved swiftly, racing toward Hell Mountain.

“Ancestor, can our Ji Family only be bullied like this?”

On the way, Ji Tianqi was filled with rage as he communicated in a harsh tone, his expression twisted with anger.

He felt unwilling; for so many years, the Ji Family had been repressed while trying to find a way to become a top power in the Ancient Realm. The reason they agreed to first give the saintess to the Xiao Clan was to numb them.

But who would have thought it would come to this?

“Ji Tianqi, how dare you speak? Is it not because of you? I have always said that since Ruyue already has a husband, who is a worker of Tian Gong, there is no need to offer her to the Xiao Clan. Why should my Ji Family do something that will please our enemies? Yet you refused to listen!”

“Now look at this; if it weren’t for Ruyue and Wuxue, would my Ji Family have to be brought to such a state?”

Ji Tiandao felt sorrow in his heart.

At the time, he tried his best to prevent Ruyue from being given to the Xiao Clan, not because he cared deeply for Ruyue and Wuxue, but because, although they came from the lower realm, their talents were extraordinary.

His Ji Family wanted to rise, and talented individuals were the core resource; without them, how could they surpass others? Who wouldn’t understand this principle?

Moreover, Ruyue and Wuxue were both workers of Tian Gong, and Ruyue already had a husband, who was a holy son of Tian Gong.

All these factors combined made Ji Tiandao desperate to stop it.

But Ji Tianqi opposed it vigorously just because Ruyue and Wuxue were from the lower realm, from that lineage. It was laughable, tragic, and lamentable.

If he had agreed to his request back then, and now allied with Ji Ruyue for a marriage with Tian Gong, the Ji Family wouldn’t have fallen to this pitiful state, and they would have no fear of the Xiao Clan, fully able to develop.

But now, everything was ruined.

“Enough, shut up!”

Ji Tianyao angrily transmitted, his face twisted with shame, feeling regret inside.

But what use was regret now?

Boom! A group of people rushed forward, soon arriving at the location of Hell Mountain.

Upon sensing the aura at the entrance of Hell Mountain, Ji Tianyao’s face immediately darkened.

Here, there was the scent of a fallen powerful figure of the Ji Family. It was evident that Ji Xin, who was guarding Hell Mountain along with two earth venerable elders, had likely perished here.

However, this was not the time for sorrow. Ji Tianyao’s face turned grim as he said, “Ancestor Xiao, Divine Artisan Hall Master, this place is the forbidden area of my Ji Family. It contains a special aura of Yin Fire that can burn the soul; Ji Ruyue and Ji Wuxue are imprisoned here, and I will go and release them now.”

As Ji Tianyao spoke, he stepped into Hell Mountain.

“The Ji Family forbidden area?”

The Head of the Xiao Family, Head of the Ye Family, Head of the Jiang Family, and others from ancient clans exchanged glances.

As ancient clans, they had naturally heard of the Ji Family’s forbidden area. This forbidden area was rumored to have a terrifying burning effect on the bloodline and souls of ancient clans, which was extremely miraculous, yet they had never seen it before.

Now that they had come here, how could Xiao Wujin and the others be willing to give up? They all stepped forward, entering Hell Mountain.

“Gentlemen.”

Ji Tianyao’s expression changed slightly as he stopped, saying, “This place is the forbidden area of my Ji Family, left by my ancestors millions of years ago. May I ask if you all…” The Ji Family’s forbidden area cannot be entered by others so casually!

Xiao Wudao’s gaze flashed, and he sneered, “Ji Tianyao, your Ji Family has brought disaster upon the Ancient Realm, causing top heavenly venerables to fall. Today is your Ji Family’s chance for redemption; what is this forbidden area but a dungeon for holding prisoners? Quickly release Ji Ruyue and Ji Wuxue, and there may still be a way out for your Ji Family, or else I fear this ancestor will not spare you, and the Divine Artisan Hall Master will also flatten your Ji Family.”
