And during the period when Xu Yang was practicing.
As the Heavenly Dao was gradually unleashed, turmoil once again broke out in the five regions of the world.
From time to time, immortal forces spread the news that the ancestor from the upper realm is about to return, and all forces in the world are invited to pay homage.
However, because too many people from the upper realm descended, each force became dissatisfied with the other. Then, the battle between the two forces eventually turned into a melee among all parties.
In this melee, no one knows how many strong men died. Bones were scattered all over the ground, blood flowed like a sea, and the bloody stench rose to the sky and lingered for a long time. Even a strong man in the Tribulation Realm fell among them.
These powerful people in the Tribulation Realm all broke through from the Mahayana Realm to the Tribulation Realm after the Heavenly Dao was unsealed. Their lifespans were already very short and they relied on holy medicines to prolong their lives. They thought that they could live tens of thousands more years by breaking through to the Tribulation Realm, but they did not expect that they would die in the chaos of battle. Such an end is really regrettable.
The melee did not last long.
All forces reached a consensus and divided the five regions of the world.
Then these forces began to reap the geniuses and evildoers in the world. Countless geniuses and evildoers without any backing were captured by these forces and refined as human medicine.
And those geniuses and evildoers with backgrounds and backers were not spared either, because Shura showed up in the world, and their killers were spread across the five regions of the world, madly assassinating those geniuses and evildoers. Even the ancient creatures from the forbidden zone of life could not escape!
The world was in complete chaos, the sky seemed to have turned blood red, geniuses were dying all the time, and this drastic change made many people realize that the so-called era of great contention had begun, and the situation would not get better, but would get more and more intense until someone reached the top of the road to becoming an immortal, then the turmoil would subside!
…
The ancestral land of the Ji family.
A terrifying wave.
A giant palm that covered the sky suddenly appeared above the ancestral land and slapped towards a certain void.
Tick-tock. Tick-tock.
Blood oozed out from the void, followed by several corpses falling from the void.
…
In the main hall.
“This is the first wave of assassinations?”
"It seems to be the 25th wave already!"
"Crazy, really crazy, can't we kill all of Shura's killers?"
"Are they seriously ill? How could our Ji family have such a talented and evil person?"
The elders of the Ji family were whispering in the hall. According to the ancestor, the younger generation of their Ji family were all trash and could not be helped at all. Even Ji Zi, who was ordered by the ancestor to reflect on his mistakes facing the wall, was still a far cry from the real monsters in the outside world. Therefore, in their opinion, it was unnecessary for Shura to come and assassinate them. Moreover, with the ancestor in charge, no matter how many killers came, it would be useless and they would only die.
"quiet!"
Ji Shenchuan spoke with a solemn expression.
In an instant, the hall became quiet and all the elders dared not speak.
They were not in awe of Ji Shenchuan, but they were afraid of the skinny old man who was dozing off on the first seat. Just now, he opened his eyes...
Ji Shenchuan also understood this, and felt that he had been a failure as the clan leader over the years. He had no prestige in the clan, and even the younger generation did not obey him. They pretended to obey but secretly disobeyed him, which gave rise to so many playboys. These playboys were like parasites, only sucking the blood of the family but unable to provide any help to the family. If this continued, the Ji family would be completely destroyed by these parasites, and he, as the clan leader, could not escape the blame and would become a sinner for all eternity. Even after his death, he would not be able to face his ancestors...
Fortunately, nothing has happened yet and there is still hope.
Today, he officially abdicated the position of clan leader to Ji Hongluan. From now on, he became Ji Hongluan's deputy, handling some miscellaneous affairs for her.
To be honest, at first, he didn't understand the ancestor's decision to hand over the position of clan leader to Ji Hongluan, because in his opinion, as a junior and a woman, Ji Hongluan would not be capable of serving as the head of the Ji family.
But after so many days, Ji Hongluan's ability has brought about a drastic change in his thinking. She really has the ability to restore the Ji family's glory.
Moreover, unlike herself, she would not be bound by family affection. She showed no mercy to the playboys in the family. If they made a mistake once, they would face the wall. If they made a mistake twice, all their cultivation resources would be deducted. If they made a mistake three times, their status as a member of the Ji family would be directly revoked, and they would be driven out of the Ji family's ancestral land and exiled forever, and they would not be allowed to return...
Because Ji Hongluan's methods were so cruel, many elders came to her, wanting to plead for their descendants, or, bringing up their own seniority and taking advantage of their age to put pressure on her. As a result, Ji Hongluan directly brought up Xu Yang, saying that Xu Yang was the sworn brother of the ancestor, and Xu Yang was her Taoist partner, so in terms of seniority, no one except the ancestor could take advantage of their age in front of her.
This made many elders confused. They wanted to refute, but they couldn't open their mouths because the ancestor was like a mountain above their heads. No one could take advantage of their seniority in front of the ancestor.
The ancestor also stepped forward in time to deal with several particularly prestigious elders in the clan. This move completely established Ji Hongluan's status. Almost all the elders, even if they were reluctant in their hearts, recognized Ji Hongluan's identity as the clan leader on the surface.
In this regard, Ji Shenchuan did not feel that the ancestor favored Ji Hongluan, because when he first became the clan leader, the ancestor had dealt with several clan elders to help him consolidate his position, but he did not seize the opportunity to establish his own prestige in the clan...
Ji Shenchuan collected his thoughts and looked at Ji Hongluan who was not far in front of him. He solemnly handed a jade seal that symbolized the authority of the clan leader to her, with a relaxed smile on his face, and said:
"Hongluan, from today on, you are the head of the Ji family. The Ji family depends on you in the future!"
