Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 1492: Chapter 73: Does Our Young Master Need Your Discipline?!_2

“Ji Yanxiu!” The Ji Family’s old ancestor stumbled back several steps, blood clotting in his mouth, his eyes lifeless, “Oh, the monstrous offspring! Once our Ji Family was majestic, with hopes to assault the First Grade. Yet unexpectedly, after the old ancestor Ji Wuchen ascended, each generation has been inferior to the last. And this generation, to make matters worse, has produced two traitors who betray the family for glory!”

“Old Grandpa Ancestor.”

Ji Yanxiu burst forth from behind the crowd, knelt before the Ji Family old ancestor, his face filled with shame, his voice tinged with a sob: “It is Yanxiu who is incompetent, having enjoyed so many resources from the family, I still failed to receive the transmission of the Codex.”

“However, Old Grandpa Ancestor. Since the ascension of the old ancestor Ji Wuchen, our Ji Family has been fixated on inheriting the Sword Array Codex, neglecting the fundamental task of strengthening ourselves, thus falling into such a pitiful state. Yanxiu believes that since the conditions for inheriting the Codex are so stringent, why must we hang ourselves on this one tree? It is better to use it in exchange for an opportunity for the family to rise again!”

“Yanxiu took actions on his own, knowing there are sins, dare not beg for forgiveness from grandpa ancestor. Once the affair is successful, Yanxiu will submit to grandpa ancestor’s decision.”

After saying that, he kowtowed forcefully to Ji Yuanxing.

“Monstrous offspring, monstrous offspring! You each and every one, are the monstrous offspring who bring ruin to our family!” The Ji Family old ancestor roared to the heavens, his form swaying as if about to fall, in utter grief and indignation, “It is I, Ji Yuanxing, who hasn’t guarded this home properly, I am ashamed before our ancestors~~”

Old Ancestor!

Seeing the situation turning grim, a crowd of Ji Family disciples rushed over, hugging the old ancestor and weeping bitterly. Even Jiqianqian was emotionally stirred, her eyes reddening.

For a time, the atmosphere at the entrance of the Ji Family’s main residence was immersed in grief.

Wang Anye, hidden among the crowd, couldn’t help feeling helpless as he witnessed this scene.

He couldn’t resist asking Ji Wuchen softly: “Master, didn’t you once say that the Sword Formation Dual Absolutes Codex was hidden very securely by you in a place unknown to anyone? How come it seems now that everyone seems to know about it?”

“This…” Ji Wuchen also felt embarrassed, and after a moment he explained with shame and helplessness, “Before I went to the Demonic Dynasty to seek revenge, knowing my own uncertain future, with life and death unpredictable, I was afraid I wouldn’t return and that would lead to the loss of the Codex, so naturally, I left a contingency plan for my son.”

Wang Anye instantly understood everything.

So it turns out that Master had a backup plan from the start, to prevent any accidents by revealing information to the Ji Family.

And since his old man hadn’t returned in so many years, the descendants of the Ji Family naturally thought he was dead, and over time the Sword Formation Dual Absolutes Codex gradually began to be considered as an asset of the Ji Family.

Unluckily, the Ji Family has also been incompetent. Over the years, not a single clan member has managed to inherit the Codex, and the family has declined even further, now starting to trade the Codex for resources.

Moreover, having one person selling the Codex was already ridiculous enough, but suddenly there were two core clansmen selling the Codex – an unheard of, truly bizarre turn of events.

“Anye, no matter what, you are the true heir of the Sword Formation Dual Absolutes,” Ji Wuchen said angrily, “In any case, we cannot let this group of people succeed.”

“Yes, Master, I will do my best,” said Wang Anye.

As the master and disciple were secretly conversing, the Ji Family’s old ancestor had recovered from the heartache of his clan’s betrayal, and then transitioned into roaring anger: “Get out! All of you get out! Even if our Ji Family has fallen, we will not sell the Codex left by the old ancestor. Wei Dongyu, Yao Yuangang, do not push us too far!”

Hearing this declaration, the expressions of Wei Dongyu and Yao Yuangang turned extremely severe.

Wei Dongyu immediately sneered: “Old Ancestor Yuanxing, I advise you not to mistake our politeness for weakness.”

“What?” The Ji Family’s old ancestor glared fiercely, “Our Ji Family does not wish to sell; are you Wei Family thinking of using force to rob us? This is Chaoyang State, protected by the Master of Chaoyang. Do you really think the laws of the Immortal Dynasty are just for show!”

“Old Ancestor Yuanxing, you are wrong,” said the spouse of King Chaoyang, Yao Yuangang, frowning, “Certainly we will not violate the laws of the Immortal Dynasty. But this Sword Array Dual Absolutes Codex, strictly speaking, is not the property of your Ji Family, but a Codex derived by the old senior Chen Jianming from ancient scripts more than thirty thousand years ago. Chen Jianming established a rule back then that this Codex must be passed down from master to disciple over generations.”

“That’s right,” said the True Monarch of Fiery Wrath, Wei Dongyu, “Your Ji Family’s old ancestor Ji Wuchen also received the Sword Formation Dual Absolutes Codex from his Master. Just because your family’s Ji Wuchen had obtained the Sword Array Codex and then concealed it, does that make it yours?”

“If your Ji Family was capable of inheriting it, that would be another matter, but alas, seven or eight thousand years have passed, and the Codex remains untouched.”

“This Sword Array Dual Absolutes Codex is a public asset of the Human race. Since the old senior Ji Wuchen has ascended and cannot take disciples, it is natural that the Codex should decide its own heir, and the capable one shall possess it.”

With each of the two Void Realm experts taking turns to speak, they verbally cornered the Ji Family old ancestor to the point he quivered but couldn’t utter a single rebuttal.

Although they were overbearing, their words were reasonable.

“Hmph!” Ji Wuchen said discontentedly, “Anye, let’s reveal ourselves and let them know you are the designated heir to the Codex, and see what they have to say then?”

“Wait a moment.” Wang Anye quickly stopped Ji Wuchen, “Master, we should observe the situation first. Moreover, given the current circumstances, it is not suitable to reveal that I am the designated heir.”
