In the far west, Yinhuai Mountain.
Huge mountain gate of Yin Corpse Dao was hidden in the vast gray fog.
At this moment, in the central hall, two men were sitting face to face.
One of them was naturally Ji Chenyuan.
As for the other person, he was dressed in white and had a handsome appearance. He was the Sect Master of the Joyous Unity Sect, Liu Xunhuan.
"Brother Liu, try this immortal wine. It's a good thing that I've treasured."
Ji Chenyuan's face was full of smiles, his expression extremely warm.
Two of them had a good personal relationship. If they had nothing to do, they would drink together. Their relationship was the closest among the four sects of the Devil Dao.
Liu Xunhuan, on the other hand, didn't move his cup. "Brother Ji, if there's anything you need, just say it."
"It's nothing," Ji Chenyuan said with a frown. "It's just that we haven't seen each other for a long time, so I've asked you to come here to catch up."
As he spoke, he asked with some doubt, "I see that brother Liu has a worried look on his face. Could it be that something is bothering him?"
Liu Xunhuan sighed. "It wasn't the sect that made such a fuss."
Ever since Patriarch Huanxi died, there had been quite a commotion in the Joyous Unity Sect. Many of the disciples who had focused on "Harvesting" had expressed their protest.
Of course, there was no shortage of elders from Patriarch Huanxi's bloodline.
It was Patriarch Huanxi who had died. Who knew if they would be the next to die?
That was why they had instigated their disciples, causing the sects to cry out in fear.
On the other hand, there weren't a few disciples who focused on harvesting. If he really used violent methods to suppress them, it would be equivalent to breaking his own arms.
For a moment, Liu Xunhuan felt a headache.
Ji Chenyuan shook his head when he heard this. "Brother Liu is indeed impulsive. Although the old man is a traitor, he's still a sect elder. It's fine even if you cripple his cultivation."
Liu Xunhuan sighed.
How could he not understand this logic?
It was just that Yi Qinglan was so domineering. Whether he would kill him or not was no longer up to him.
Moreover, this matter couldn't be exposed to the public, or else the face of the Joyous Sect would be completely obliterated.
Ji Chenyuan had a helpless expression on his face as he spoke. "It's not just brother Liu. I've also been worried lately."
Liu Xunhuan thought of something. "Because of Ji Xingyun?"
"That's right." Ji Chenyuan nodded.
Ji Xingyun's soul was severely injured, and he was still unconscious. He could only recuperate in the corpse ground.
Even if he was able to wake up, his soul was already in tatters. He would probably not be able to break through to Deity Transformation in this lifetime.
It could be said that his Immortal Path had been severed.
Two brothers looked at each other and simultaneously sighed.
"I heard that Li Ran collided with Chu Lingchuan in the Immortal Ascension Assembly, forcing him to use the might of an Emperor."
"But not only did she fail, it caused Leng Wuyan and Yi Qinglan to attack at the same time, and they forcefully crushed her."
Liu Xunhuan said, "Even Chu Lingchuan can't do anything to Li Ran. I advise brother Ji not to cause trouble for himself."
Ji Chenyuan smiled wryly. "How can I not understand this logic? But my little brother… Sigh!"
With Ji Liang's personality, he probably wouldn't let it go.
But after all, he was his own younger brother. He couldn't put him under house arrest, right?
When he thought of this, he scanned the sect with his divine sense but didn't find Ji Liang's shadow.
"Where is he?" Ji Chenyuan had a bad premonition.
With a slight movement of his mind, the void was torn apart, and Ji Liang's personal maid appeared in front of him.
"Sect Master?" The maid was still at a loss.
Ji Chenyuan asked, "Do you know where the third Elder is?"
Maid snapped back to her senses and hastily replied, "Third Elder left two hours ago. It seems like he went to Wuyang City."
"Wuyang City?" Ji Chenyuan frowned.
Of course, he knew what Ji Liang was doing in Wuyang City.
It was definitely revenge for his son!
"No, we have to stop him!"
Just as he was about to cross the void, hurried footsteps came from outside the door.
A deacon stumbled over and said with a terrified expression. "No, no good, Sect Master, something big has happened!"
Ji Chenyuan frowned. "Slow down. What's going on?"
Deacon broke out in cold sweat as he said in a trembling voice, "Just now, the third Elder's soul jade slip shattered!"
"What?" Ji Chenyuan suddenly stood up, his eyes filled with disbelief. "You said my brother died?"
Even Liu Xunhuan was shocked.
A name appeared in their hearts: Li Ran!
It was definitely related to him!
Ji Chenyuan's robes fluttered, and his eyes were on the verge of splitting. "You've crippled my Sheng Zi first, yet you still dare to kill my younger brother? Does this fellow really think I don't dare to touch him?"
Violent pressure wreaked havoc in the main hall. The air seemed to freeze, and the deacons and maids knelt on the ground.
Liu Xunhuan said calmly, "Brother Ji, calm down."
Ji Chenyuan gnashed his teeth. "Li Ran's bullying is too much. How can I calm down!"
Liu Xunhuan shook his head. "Do you really think Li Ran killed him? How could he be able to kill someone at the Heavenly Tribulation realm?"
Ji Chenyuan raised an eyebrow. "You mean…"
"To die so quietly, there must be an Emperor-level attack."
"Ji Liang most likely went to Wuyang City to seek revenge," Liu Xunhuan said indifferently. "To put it bluntly, his death was not a pity."
Ji Chenyuan calmed down when he heard this.
He returned to his chair, his expression constantly changing.
Liu Xunhuan hesitated for a moment. "Do you know why Ancestor Huanxi died?"
Ji Chenyuan asked doubtfully, "Isn't it because of Qin Ruyan?"
Liu Xunhuan shook his head and said, "It has nothing to do with Qin Ruyan. It was because of Li Ran that Yi Qinglan forced me to kill him on the spot."
Ji Chenyuan was taken aback. "I see!"
Liu Xunhuan patted him on the shoulder. "Which one can you provoke, Leng Wuyan or Yi Qinglan? Besides, Ji Liang is still courting death."
Ji Chenyuan exhaled. "I understand, but my brother died just like that?"
Liu Xunhuan laughed. "You should be glad that it wasn't you who died."
Ji Chenyuan fell silent.
After a long while, he hoarsely said, "Brother Liu, Li Ran is already like this after being a deity. If we allow him to grow, I'm afraid that the Youluo Temple will be unstoppable!"
Liu Xunhuan asked, "Can you stop him now?"
"This…"
Ji Chenyuan was at a loss for words.
Liu Xunhuan replied, "I have two suggestions for Li Ran."
"Oh?" Ji Chenyuan asked curiously. "I wish to hear the details."
"First, you raise a disciple who surpassed Li Ran and avenged your brother. Leng Wuyan would have nothing to say that way."
"You should say the second," Ji Chenyuan said with a wry smile.
A genius that surpassed Li Ran. He didn't even know if one existed in this world.
Liu Xunhuan said seriously, "Second, you should hurry up and nurture a holy maiden. Regardless of her talent, her looks must be devastating."
"Ah?"
Liu Xunhuan said with a serious tone, "Since we can't beat him, then we might as well join him."
Ji Chenyuan was speechless.
Central Palace.
Jade Flood Dragon Pavilion.
Li Ran sat on the phoenix bed and looked at the two princesses in front of him. His throat tightened.
"This, isn't it too unsuitable?"
