At this moment, everyone was shaken, struggling to believe what they had just learned.
The countless dead from the Myriad Races had actually been brought back by the Ji Family to nourish Ancestor Ji Tianguang?
Upon reflection, it seemed quite possible.
In an instant, everyone's expressions changed, disbelief etched on their faces.
No wonder they had been curious about why so many powerful beings from various clans were present in the Ji Family's Hell Mountain. Hell Mountain was supposed to imprison the Ji Family's sinners; what were the beings from the ten thousand clans doing there?
But now, everyone understood.
What sinners? They were merely brought by the Ji Family to absorb their life force for the resurrection of their ancestor.
The Ji Family had set up such a scheme for millions of years.
“Hahaha, Xiao Wudao, you're not too stupid after all; you deserve to be the Ancestor of the Xiao Clan, a supreme figure,” Ji Tianyao sneered, his eyes flashing with divine light.
He stepped forward, his aura constantly rising, and finally stepped into the half-step supreme realm.
A rolling chaos aura surrounded him, resembling a divine demon.
“Ji Tianyao, this matter concerns your Ancient Realm and has nothing to do with us. Release us at once,” the Lord of Kunpeng Valley and others exclaimed, their faces changing.
At this moment, they felt the half-step supreme aura emanating from Ji Tianyao, and their hearts trembled in fear.
There was no doubt about it.
Next, a tremendous battle was about to occur here, one that involved the Xiao Clan, the Ji Family, and the ancient clan.
However, they did not want to participate in a supreme-level battle; if they rashly intervened, they could easily perish.
“Hahaha.”
Xiao Wudao laughed loudly, coldly glancing at the Void Temple Master, the Lord of Kunpeng Valley, and other heaven venerable experts, and sneered, “Fools.”
The others from Kunpeng Valley turned pale.
Who was he insulting?
Did he think being supreme gave him the right to insult others?
Xiao Wudao coldly remarked, “The Ji Family has been laying this trap for millions of years, all to revive their ancestor. Did you not see the bodies of the ten thousand clans here?
Among them, not only are there beings from the ten thousand clans, but also from the human race, and even their own Ji Family members."
“To revive their ancestor, the Ji Family dares to sacrifice their own kin? Did you see those two Ji Family disciples?
What sinners? They are merely a pretext, all prepared as nourishment for Ji Tianguang's resurrection.”
“Now that you all have intruded deep into this Hell Mountain, do you think the Ji Family will let you leave unscathed?”
Xiao Wudao's cold laughter continued, were these top forces of the human race really fools?
What were they thinking?
Upon hearing this, everyone present turned pale.
In fact, they had somewhat guessed this possibility, but they were unwilling to admit it. After all, no one wanted to be caught up in the ancient clan's disputes, especially since it offered no benefits to them.
Ji Tianyao coldly snorted, “Everyone, do not listen to Xiao Wudao's nonsense. My Ji Family has lurked for years only to reclaim what rightfully belongs to us. You are the leaders of the major human race forces; how could my Ji Family easily take action? Do you not fear the punishment of the Human Race Council?”
That made sense.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
The Ji Family targeting the Xiao Clan could be considered part of the Ancient Realm's disputes, and they could still explain it to the Human Race Council because, in the eyes of the human race, the secluded ancient clans were essentially a single force, while the Xiao Clan represented the ancient clans.
The conflict between the Ji Family and the Xiao Clan was still somewhat reasonable; as long as there were sufficient reasons, they could persuade the Human Race Council later.
However, if the Ji Family dared to kill the other heaven venerable forces present, the Human Race Council would certainly unleash its wrath and suppress them. How could a mere Ji Family contend against the entirety of the human race?
