Big Bodhi

Chapter 28: Who is the Cicada, Who is the Mantis?

Ji Hong could not contain the excitement in his heart. He flicked his sleeves and walked out of the Hall of Tranquility.

The late stage of the True Dao Realm was originally out of reach for him who had been trapped in the Initial stage for more than ten years, but now he could glimpse a sliver of hope.

Ji Bugui deliberately retreated further back toward the corner of the main hall. In the dark place where the lights could not penetrate, the black satin black robe he was wearing turned illusory, exuding an incomparable aura.

The Hall of Listening, only a few leagues away from the Seventh Hall of Tranquility. This was the place Elder Ji Luoyan resided.

Grand Elder, its undoubtedly him! This is coming from the Commander Xu Jianghe himself! The black-armored guard knelt on the ground and looked up at the Grand Elder.

Zi Shi, go summon Baiyu and two elders waiting in the side hall immediately. Ji Luoyan thought for a moment, then opened his mouth and commanded.

The black-armored guard respectfully responded, and then slowly retreated out of the hall.

Ji Luoyan's calm and deep eyes trembled slightly, a complacent smile emerged on the corners of his lips, and he muttered, "The mantis catches the cicada while the oriole stalks behind. Ji Hong, you would never have thought that Xu Jianghe had already been bought over by me. Under your command, I will accept this good medicine and raise the rank of my Heart Fire on your behalf!

At midnight, the sky was veiled by a dark shadow. The cold air whistled gently, invoking chills out of the mortals.

In the Main Hall, Ji Hong sat cross-legged on the ground, with a long wooden sword suspended vertically by his side, which was shrouded in a hazy profound light.

"Nian'er, you take initiative and let go of any resistance originating from the soul, so that I can feel it more clearly."

Ji Hong's voice reached Ji Bugui as he sat on the futon, kept silent, and closed his eyes slightly.

Ji Hong's eyes moved slightly, and the xuan energy of the initial stage of the True Dao Realm swept out, all of which rushed towards Ji Bugui's acupoint.

There was a black light permeating out from the Ghost armor, debunking all of Ji Hong's investigations.

"The soul is intact, the memory is dusty, and the extinguished Heart Fire is attached to the edge of the soul, and it is not difficult to harvest!"

Ji Hong suddenly opened his eyes wide, and he couldn't help showing a hint of excitement. Ji Yuenian's souls condition was exactly as he imagined it to be!

You want to split my soul and take my Heart Fire, do you not even feel a modicum of regret in your heart? Ji Bugui asked suddenly.

Ji Hong never noticed the change in Ji Bugui's address to him, he just stretched out his hand to support Ji Bugui's shoulder and whispered, "Nian'er, you have lost all your memories now, and your cultivation base is ruined. As a father, I really want to be able to take revenge for you. When I take your Heart Fire, you must not resist."

Ji Bugui sighed softly and closed his eyes.

Facing the head of the Ji Family who was at the initial stage of the True Dao Realm, he could not have been more calm.

Because at this time, he already knew very clearly that even the master of the family who he had regarded as someone untouchable previously, was only a common man who was dominated by greed.

People are always unpredictable.

Ji Hong made up his mind and looked at "Ji Yuenian" who had his eyes closed, without any hesitation in his heart. He stimulated a trace of the source of the soul, and rushed towards Ji Yuenians acupoint.

Ji Bugui's tightly closed eyelids vibrated fiercely, sensing the approach of fatal danger.

Although the Sentient Ghost-devouring Armor could cover up one or two things, it couldn't really cover up the fact that he was a mortal person. Once Ji Hong's soul power was immersed in his acupoint, Ji Bugui was very likely to die from the imposing power of the tyrannical soul.

<em class="chakra-text css-0">Boom!

The heavyset gates of the Hall of Tranquility were smashed into several huge pieces!

One of the fragments, about ten feet wide, hurried towards Ji Hong, creating a harsh humming sound in the air.

Ji Hong's complexion changed slightly, and he stood up abruptly from the futon. The xuan energy of the initial stage of the True Dao Realm surged out around him, and the debris that was rushing in front of him broke into countless tiny fragments.

"It's really admirable that the patriarch can be so ruthless, to be so cruel to the eldest son, Ji Yuenian."

Ji Luoyan stepped into the hall with a light chuckle. Xu Jianghe, Ji Baiyu and others followed behind him. Two elders in the Xuan Realm, and dozens of Ji's family guards strode in with a cold look, silent in their steps.

Ji Hong and Ji Bugui sat at the center.

Ji Hong's face became gloomy, and he scolded coldly, "Xu Jianghe, do you want to betray the Ji family? And you guys, do you want to go against me?"

Xu Jianghe stepped out and said solemnly, "The patriarch's statement is absurd, the Grand Elder is also the blood of the Ji family, and now I obey the order of the Grand Elder, which is also considered to be obeying the order of the Ji family. How can you say that I betrayed the Ji family?"

Ji Luoyan sensed Ji Bugui, who was still sitting on the futon, and said with a tut, "His Heart Fire went out, but he didn't die, this is really too rare. The eldest son's Heart Fire has indeed become a rare elixir."

Ji Hong was silent for a moment, but his expression became somewhat inexplicable as he said, "Ji Luoyan, you and I are both in the same realm, even if you have these vulnerable little fish and shrimp, how can you contend against me?"

"No," Ji Luoyan said with a smile, "This is your biggest failure as the head of the family. Although you can crush Xu Jianghe and others with a flip of your palm, you have overlooked one thing. It is the potential.

Ji Hong snorted coldly and said, "What nonsense, I have used xuan energy transmission to inform all the elders of the Ji Family Elders Association. If you commit the following crimes, you are disrespectful to the patriarch. This time I will expel you completely from the Ji family!"

Ji Luoyan's expression was a little weird as he laughed, "Then I'll show you, what is potential!"

Outside the Hall of Tranquility, the sound of horses roared like thunder.

"Greetings, Great Elder!"

A figure landed into the hall, with xuan energy rushing around in the late stage of the Nascent Profound Realm.

Ji Luoyaodded and said, "Fifth elder doesnt need to be too polite."

Ji Hong's expression darkened slightly.

Boom!

A light arrow of xuan energy twisted and appeared, and it rushed towards Ji Hong from the gate of the hall.

Ji Hong's expression became more gloomy, he waved the arrow of light away, and said coldly, "Third Elder, how dare you commit such a crime!"

The third elder appeared, strode into the hall, glanced at Ji Hong with great contempt. He said nothing, and stood directly behind Ji Luoyan.

There were a total of six elders in the Ji Family Elders Association. Except for Ji Luoyan, the first elder from the second house, who was in the True Dao Realm, the rest of the elders were all from the third and fourth houses (or branch).

The elders from all the four branches of the main branch gathered here, and none of them had any good intentions.

Counting the two elders who had followed behind Ji Luoyan before, there were already four elders behind Ji Luoyan at this time, and Ji Hong was alone here.

The chaos in Anyang was gradually rising, and almost all the guards of the Ji family were swarming towards the Hall of Tranquility.

Ji Luoyan laughed and said, "Ji Hong, the head of the Ji family, is cruel, and he treats his relatives without mercy. My Anyang Ji family has suffered for a long time. Today, on behalf of the thousands of descendants of the Anyang Ji family, I will expel him from the position of the head of the family, then recount his crimes, and punish him one by one!"
