Heaven-devouring Dragon Emperor

"Ji Fu, I'm keeping your son, but I want to say ugly things first. If he doesn't change his temper, he may be embarrassed in the future!"

"Don't worry, Great Elder, we will definitely change, we will definitely change!"

Ji Fu apologized repeatedly, agreed, and quickly left with Ji Qian.

After the two left, a close elder spoke in a deep voice.

"The Great Elder thinks why Miss Yunan wants to hire Jiang Tian as a special worshiper. Is this really the intention of the family head?"

"It's hard to say, I also find this strange."

Ji Heng slowly shook his head with confusion on his face.

Everyone looked at each other, frowning in confusion.

"Although Jiang Tian's qualifications and potential are impressive, his cultivation is still shallow after all. Normally, such a person is not qualified to serve as a guest in the family. What is the use of the eldest lady inviting him?"

"Could they have known each other for a long time?"

"Probably not!" Ji Heng shook his head in denial.

"What's that for?"

"Could it be because of... that thing that suppresses the clan?"

Hiss!

As the words rang out, everyone gasped.

Even Ji Heng's expression changed, and a sharp light suddenly appeared between his eyebrows!

"Be careful and don't discuss this matter!"

"I realize my mistake, please forgive me, Great Elder!"

Everyone's expressions changed and they apologized quickly.

However, they still couldn't restrain their curiosity when they thought of some secret rumors among their clan.

"Great Elder, is that thing really so magical?"

"I heard that the reason why the eldest lady's cultivation has improved so quickly is because she took advantage of that thing!"

"Is this true or false?"

Everyone asked cautiously.

"Except for Ji Yunan, only the previous family heads have entered that place. I don't know the specific situation."

Ji Heng's eyes narrowed, his gaze was deep and unpredictable, and his attitude was extremely cautious.

Of course he knew more things than these elders, but he had never been to that place, so he didn't know the real situation there.

The relationship between him and the head of the family was not harmonious, and there were many differences. Once the rift between the two occurred, it grew bigger and bigger, to the point that it was completely impossible to bridge.

However, the head of the family is the orthodox family member after all, and he has the support of the Supreme Elder behind him.

This is what he is afraid of, but it is not the biggest concern.

What he really worried about was the family's important place that Ji Yunan was in charge of!

He secretly sent people to test him more than once, but they never came back. Fortunately, the arrangements were secret enough that the family head and Ji Yunan didn't get anything wrong.

This made him more curious and more fearful.

Is the thing that suppresses the clan really that powerful?

...

Ji Yunan's residence is very large.

The yard is filled with all kinds of strange spiritual herbs and elixirs, some of which are even species that have been extinct in the lower world for a long time.

"As expected of a genius who practices wood-attribute skills, Miss Ji is very knowledgeable in cultivating spiritual herbs and elixirs!"

Jiang Tian nodded slowly, his eyes cooling down.

"Haha, Brother Jiang is so complimentary. This is not my fault." Ji Yunan shook her head and smiled.

"oh?"

"This is not a modest refusal. You will understand if you come with me."

"Um!"

Jiang Tian followed Ji Yunan all the way, passed through several layers of magic circle restrictions, and walked into the backyard.

But the doubts in his heart became more and more intense.

"There are so many complicated restrictions in the family hinterland. I'm afraid it's not just Miss Ji's residence, right?"

Jiang Tian looked at the situation around him, feeling the extremely strong wood spirit energy in the void, and frowned and asked.

"Haha, Brother Jiang is indeed a smart man. He doesn't speak secretly in front of others. Although this is my residence, it is also a forbidden area for the family!"

"oh?"

Jiang Tian's eyes narrowed in surprise.

He had just become a special enshrinement of the Ji family, and it was a bit abrupt for Ji Yunan to bring him into the forbidden area.

There must be some special reason for the other party to do this, otherwise they should never be so impatient.

Ji Yunan stopped in front of a gate covered with spiritual patterns.

"Those magic formations just now are actually just peripheral restrictions. The magic formation engraved on this stone gate is the real door to the forbidden area!"

"oh?"

Jiang Tian's eyes narrowed, becoming more and more surprised.

After the previous competition and selection, he originally thought that the Ji family's martial arts level was nothing more than this, but now it seems that the situation is not that simple.

Judging from the forbidden areas covered by these layers of magic circles, this family's background may be stronger than he expected.

What kind of secrets are there in the Ji family's forbidden area?

While Jiang Tian frowned and thought, Ji Yunan raised her right palm and gently pressed it towards the surface of the stone door.

Where she pressed her palm, there was a circular pattern formed by the gathering of spiritual patterns. It was only slightly larger than the palm of her hand, but it looked quite mysterious.

hum!

With a buzzing sound, a scene that surprised Jiang Tian appeared!

The surface of the mysterious circular formation flashed with light, and quickly condensed a slender green light, slowly stabbing towards Ji Yunan's palm.

"Huh?" Jiang Tian was surprised.

This spiritual light pierced Ji Yunan's palm without hesitation, and a trace of blood surged out.

What surprised Jiang Tian was that the blood was not purely bright red, but mixed with some kind of green light, and exuded some extremely amazing wood spirit energy!

"Hiss!" Jiang Tian's eyes shrank, feeling greatly surprised.

Ji Yunan is obviously a human warrior and looks nothing out of the ordinary. How come her blood essence has such a green light?

"Brother Jiang, don't be surprised. You will know some things soon."

Ji Yunan looked calm, as if she had long been accustomed to it.

"Does it have to be so troublesome every time you go in and out of the forbidden area?"

Jiang Tian asked with a frown.

If this is the case, then every time Ji Yunan enters or exits, he will have to undergo verification by the magic circle and lose a ray of essence and blood.

The consumption over time is also considerable.

"Normally, I wouldn't be so troublesome. This restriction has no effect on me. I can usually go in and out freely. But just taking Brother Jiang with me is not that convenient. If I don't do this, Brother Jiang will not be able to cross this restriction at all. .”

"Understood!"

Jiang Tian nodded slowly, understanding.

Even Ji Yunan had to go to such trouble to bring people in, and the restrictions on the Ji family's forbidden area were quite strong.

Buzz...kacka!

After absorbing a trace of Ji Yunan's essence and blood, all the lines on the surface of the stone door lit up, releasing some strange spiritual energy fluctuations.

The stone door slowly opened, revealing a space rippling with green light!

"oh?"

Jiang Tian's eyes narrowed slightly, feeling greatly surprised.

"Brother Jiang, don't worry, just come with me!"

Ji Yunan smiled brightly and stepped forward, followed closely by Jiang Tian.

The stone door restriction behind him immediately closed on its own, but Jiang Tian was shocked by the wood-attribute spiritual power that filled the space!

"Hiss! What a powerful aura of wood spiritual power!"

The intensity of this spiritual power was almost as strong as the "Essence of the Wood Spirit" he had come into contact with at the bottom of the Boundless Sea.
