As various thoughts flashed through their minds, Ji Wangchuan and Yao'an were already standing about several hundred meters away.

Soon, the two saw the headless corpse lying on the ground, and their faces immediately grew very grim.

Especially Ji Wangchuan.

At this moment, he squinted at Ji Haoyuan and Master Binghuo, speaking coldly:

"Who exactly are you two?

To commit murder outside the Ji Family's Maple Leaf Marketplace, do you not regard our Ji Family at all?"

Upon hearing this, the grandson and grandparent, who had already breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly became tense again.

However, Ji Haoyuan and Master Binghuo's expressions did not change in the slightest.

Yet Ji Haoyuan slowly opened his mouth and said, "Ji Wangchuan, as a cultivator of the Ji Family, is this how the elders of your family taught you to conduct yourself?"

These words immediately caused Ji Wangchuan's pupils to contract slightly.

He suddenly fixed his gaze on Ji Haoyuan, spoke gravely:

"Sir, who exactly are you? Why do you know my identity?"

Inexplicably, he suddenly felt a sense of unease in his heart.

As if the eyes of the person before him possessed the ability to see through others' hearts.

All secrets and lies were laid bare before him.

"You are not qualified to know who I am."

Ji Haoyuan slowly placed his hands behind his back, looked at Ji Wangchuan and the slightly stunned Yao'an in front of him, and spoke again indifferently:

"Since you're here, just stay here for now.

Wait for the enforcers from the clan to arrive and then talk."

As the words fell, there was no apparent movement from Ji Haoyuan.

Ji Wangchuan and Yao'an, located hundreds of meters away, suddenly felt an extremely terrifying power fall upon them.

Not only did it completely seal the magical power within their bodies, but it also moved their bodies closer.

Then, Ji Haoyuan raised his hand and sent out several transmission messages.

Seeing this scenario, Ji Wangchuan and Yao'an were already horrified to the extreme.

Who in the world is this person before them?

Why do they possess such terrifying cultivation?

Simply by their Qi Mechanism, they had completely restrained two Foundation Establishment cultivators, leaving them with no ability to resist.

"Senior, this is a misunderstanding!

Our Ji Family ancestor is from the Demonstration Sect...

Mmm-mmm..."

Just as Ji Wangchuan was about to mention Ji Haoyuan's name, the next second, his and Yao'an's mouths were blocked by magical power, rendering them speechless, only able to struggle silently.

Seeing this scene, Master Binghuo couldn't help but shake his head lightly.

She didn't expect that on this return journey with Ji Haoyuan, they would encounter such an event.

"Senior Sister, I apologize for the embarrassment."

At this moment, Ji Haoyuan looked at the Master Binghuo beside him and said somewhat helplessly.

Master Binghuo smiled understandingly and shook her head.

"Junior Brother, there is no need to be overly concerned.

Whether it's a family or sect, once developed to a certain scale, similar incidents are inevitable.

If the clan rules are strictly adhered to in the future, similar issues should be significantly reduced."

Obviously, she also understands that completely eradicating bad elements is extremely difficult.

Unless Ji Haoyuan devotes most of his energy to the family in the future, which clearly is unrealistic.

To Ji Haoyuan, his own cultivation and power are paramount.

Moreover, once a Nascent Soul cultivator like him enters seclusion.

It could be decades, even a hundred years or more.

During such a prolonged period, several generations within the family might have already cycled through.

Especially for Qi Refining cultivators, who only live to be a hundred years or so.

A single seclusion of a Nascent Soul cultivator could encompass their entire lifetime.

This ethereal difference in life existence levels; even if similar blood flows within their bodies, some barriers between them are inevitable.

And these gaps will deepen with time.

At some point, those within the family may just become unfamiliar yet familiar symbols to Ji Haoyuan.

More so, as of now, there are very few in the family who truly matter to Ji Haoyuan.

In such circumstances, expecting him to sacrifice everything for the family is completely unrealistic.

Ji Haoyuan is not such a person.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

At this moment, several Escape Lights flashed quickly across the distant sky.

Leading them was a cultivator whose cultivation had reached the peak of Foundation Establishment.

This person was none other than Ji Qingfei, who was responsible for overseeing the current Ji Family!

Several other Foundation Establishment cultivators followed him.

Ji Haoyuan was familiar with one of them.

It was the previous Clan Leader Ji, Ji Yunfan.

At this moment, Ji Qingfei and Ji Yunfan, along with the four others, clearly spotted Ji Haoyuan and Master Binghuo in the distance.

While slightly surprised, they couldn't help but increase their flying speed.

Because upon seeing Ji Haoyuan and Master Binghuo, they also noticed Ji Wangchuan and Yao'an, bound by Ji Haoyuan, and the overall situation onsite.

This immediately made them realize that something must have happened earlier.

Else, based on Ji Qingfei's understanding of his Uncle, such a scenario wouldn't be unfolding before them.

Mmm-mmm...

In the meantime, with their magical power and movement bound by Ji Haoyuan, Ji Wangchuan and Yao'an certainly caught sight of the arriving Ji Qingfei, Ji Yunfan, and the others.

This ignited a glimmer of hope within them.

Unfortunately, this glimmer of hope shattered in the instant Ji Qingfei and the others reached Ji Haoyuan and Master Binghuo.

They saw Ji Qingfei and his group of four pay their respects to Ji Haoyuan and Master Binghuo immediately upon reaching them.

"Qingfei greets Uncle!"

"We greet the Ancestor!"

"Greetings to Senior Binghuo!"

…

Upon hearing Ji Qingfei and the other's addresses to Ji Haoyuan and Master Binghuo, Ji Wangchuan and Yao'an felt the world go dark.

At this moment, they finally realized the true identities of the two.

Their opponent turned out to be the Ji Family's greatest pillar, the most powerful Ancestor, Ji Haoyuan, True Monarch Nanhua.

It's over!

Instinctively, the same thought surfaced in both of their minds.

They turned to look at Ji Haoyuan and Master Binghuo.

Master Binghuo nodded slightly towards Ji Qingfei and the others.

But Ji Haoyuan simply stood there, looking at them with a faint gaze, saying nothing.

The atmosphere at the scene immediately became very oppressive and tense.

Gradually.

The foreheads and even the backs of Ji Qingfei and Ji Yunfan, along with the others, began to break out in a cold sweat.

Especially Ji Qingfei, who knew Ji Haoyuan's temperament best.

He understood well what this attitude from his Uncle signified.
