Otherwise, given the realm of a Second Grade Peak Cultivator, if they hadn't made a move by now, even if they acted to stop it, it would be too late.

If they didn't see anyone on Ji Ru Yu's side, it should have been something that delighted Ji Shaoyun and Ji Lanshan.

But now, inexplicably, a sense of unease had crept into their hearts.

Boom!

In the very next second.

In their line of sight, the branding on Ji Ru Yu's forehead released an immense power, and that power alone directly knocked aside the two Second Grade Peak Cultivators who were attacking him.

The two Second Grade Peak Cultivators staggered up from the ground, looking at the branding on Ji Ru Yu's head with a somewhat horrified expression on their faces.

The moment they were struck, they realized what it was.

"Brand of a First Grade Peak Cultivator!"

"Run!"

Almost in an instant, the two Second Grade Peak Cultivators thought of nothing else but turned to flee.

They just wanted to make some money.

To deal with a Third-Grade Cultivator seemed effortless in their eyes.

It even felt like an overkill to have two Second Grade Peak Cultivators make the move.

But since the payment was right.

They didn't care anymore.

Little did they expect.

The opponent had a branding of a First Grade Peak Cultivator!

Even though it was just a branding, a First Grade Peak Cultivator is still a First Grade Peak Cultivator, and the power released by just a branding was not something they could withstand.

"Want to run?"

Wang Ye's shadow emerged from the branding, deploying the power of the Great Dao.

Wang Ye, master of myriad daos!

The "Zhen" principle was unfolded.

The "Zhen" principle, amongst the phantoms of the Great Dao that Wang Ye inherited from Guo Yi, was one of the most solidly formed ones.

It is rumored that from the very beginning, Guo Yi realized the "Zhen" and several other principles, which played a significant role in his early battles.

Wang Ye gained insight into the dao from Guo Yi's phantoms of the Great Dao.

Hence, his understanding of the "Zhen" principle was clearer than other daos.

The "Zhen" principle was employed.

The two Second Grade Peak Cultivators, who still wanted to escape, felt the air around them solidify, unable to move in any direction.

"You want to kill my people, and where do you think you can run off to?"

Wang Ye's shadow spoke with a playful tone.

One blade swept out.

Though it was merely a shadow, the strike carried immense pressure, imbued with the notion of the "Blade" Dao.

Blade aura emerged, slicing a silvery arc through the air.

Involved the bodies of the two Second Grade Peak Cultivators, directly cleaving them to dust.

Seeing this scene, Ji Ru Yu couldn't help but gasp.

He knew there was a significant gap in strength between a First Grade Peak Cultivator and a Second Grade Peak Cultivator, but he hadn't expected the gap to be this vast.

Wang Ye was merely a branding.

Even as a branding, it only took one move.

To completely eliminate the enemies, leaving nothing behind.

Not even a trace of blood mist remained.

With Wang Ye's single strike, the adversaries were wholly wiped out. It was as if these two had never appeared.

After Wang Ye's shadow dealt with the two Second Grade Peak sorcerers, he turned to where Ji Shaoyun and Ji Lanshan were.

Though the branding had a connection with Wang Ye, it wasn't a constant link.

Still, through the force of the branding, it could easily sense where Ji Shaoyun and Ji Lanshan were.

Ji Shaoyun and Ji Lanshan, upon witnessing Wang Ye's shadow swiftly killing the two Second Grade Peak Cultivators, understood where their previous unease stemmed from.

But when Wang Ye's shadow looked at them.

A deeper sense of despair filled their hearts.

They were clueless about how Ji Ru Yu allied with Wang Ye.

They only knew.

As Wang Ye's shadow eliminated their people, their deaths would soon follow.

"Saint Heir, just help me get rid of those two, the rest is our Ji family's business, which I'll handle myself."

Ji Ru Yu spoke calmly.

If Wang Ye were to get involved in the affairs concerning Ji Shaoyun and Ji Lanshan, future Ji Family members might not take kindly to it.

"Alright."

Wang Ye's shadow responded faintly and vanished.

Of course.

Even with Wang Ye's shadow gone, the branding stayed, allowing Wang Ye, the master of the Divine Stone Workshop, and others to watch the scene from elsewhere.

Ji Shaoyun and Ji Lanshan, seeing Wang Ye's shadow vanish, first secretly sighed in relief, but then felt overwhelming despair.

Though they too studied the path of the cultivator.

Unlike Ji Ru Yu, their strength in the cultivator's path wasn't impressive.

Ji Shaoyun, a Fifth-Rank Cultivator.

Ji Lanshan, a Sixth-Rank Magician.

Compared to Ji Ru Yu, they were nothing.

Ji Ru Yu approached Ji Shaoyun and Ji Lanshan step by step. Although his pace seemed slow, the distance between them was closing rapidly.

Ji Ru Yu appeared in no rush to immediately deal with Ji Shaoyun and Ji Lanshan.

A faint smile adorned his face.

Where Wang Ye was.

When Ji Ru Yu wore that smile.

Lin Shuang, the master of the Divine Stone Workshop, and Zhou Ke all turned their eyes toward Wang Ye almost simultaneously.

They had the feeling that Ji Ru Yu's smile closely resembled Wang Ye's.

"Alas."

The master of the Divine Stone Workshop sighed.

"Ji Ru Yu, this boy, I knew before. Before meeting Wang Ye, he never wore such a smile."

Implying.

Wang Ye influenced Ji Ru Yu badly.

Wang Ye's forehead showed a few black lines immediately.

What did Ji Ru Yu's smile have to do with him?

And yet.

Lin Shuang and Zhou Ke nodded in affirmation.

Wang Ye immediately considered cutting the scene in front of him.

To show these people around him what it's like when the signal suddenly cuts off at the most thrilling moment.

...

As Ji Ru Yu was nearing Ji Shaoyun and Ji Lanshan, still smiling, he asked them with interest:

"Do you know who the Money Leopard that defeated Ji Shen and me on Nine Dragon Mountain is?"

"Who?"

Though Ji Shaoyun's voice trembled, he was genuinely curious about who this Money Leopard was.
