Chapter 716: Chapter 207: The Tragic Supreme Wind Demon! Goodbye, Ji Bingyan_5
[Upon hearing Ji Bingyan’s words, you understood her intentions. Evidently, she wishes to invite you to help the Jee family defeat the Wang family and secure your future kin’s right to enter the secret realm.]
[Despite this, you felt somewhat strange about the proposal. After all, the Wang family shares your surname, and attacking them felt a bit awkward. However, you are more curious about why the Wang family is so powerful that even the Jee family, who once gave birth to a Great Emperor, can’t gain the upper hand?]
[In response to your doubts, Ji Bingyan explained that although the Jee family once birthed a Great Emperor, that was millions of years ago. Today, the Jee family has declined despite having the Reincarnation Secret Skill, but has thankfully not fallen into complete obscurity like some of the age-old Imperial-tier forces.]
[The Wang family, although they haven’t birthed a Great Emperor, is also guarded by a Quasi-Emperor. Somehow, their clan’s elite has obtained the Great Emperor’s inheritance, which includes the Emperor Scripture and an Emperor’s artifact.]
[Thus, in terms of sheer family power, her Jee family didn’t have necessary advantages. Furthermore, similarly among the younger generation, the Jee family didn’t hold any advantages either, which is why they are seeking external help.]
[Upon hearing this explanation, you’re rather contemplative. You hadn’t expected this Wang family to be so powerful, with a Quasi-Emperor and an Emperor’s artifact at their disposal. A force like this would be considered second only to the Imperial-tier forces in the Upper Realm.]
[After some consideration, you agreed to Ji Bingyan’s request. However, you specified that one place in the secret realm would be yours. Hugely delighted, Ji Bingyan immediately agreed.]
[Following this, you curiously asked Ji Bingyan if the Wang family, just like Jee’s family, could also seek help from outside. In response, Ji Bingyan nodded and informed you that the Wang family had actually managed to invite a mysterious Imperial Prince-level character, warning you not to underestimate them.]
[You didn’t care much about Ji Bingyan’s warning. In the current younger generation, you rarely meet a match, fearless of anyone within the same realm, unless it’s a freak who is both a direct descendant of a Great Emperor and possesses the Special Constitution.]
[Afterwards, you followed Ji Bingyan to the Jee family’s residence.]
[Upon your arrival, the Jee family greeted you warmly. As the 5th Emperor’s Son of the Taiyi Imperial Palace, you are a highly reputed figure even in the Immortal Continent. Even the Jee Family Master, a Supreme figure, dared not treat you with indifference. Even more so, considering that you were here to aid the Jee family this time.]
[Shortly, you became a guest of honor at the Jee family, and they hosted an Immortal Banquet for you, creating quite a lively atmosphere. At this banquet, you noticed a young boy from the Jee family always watching you closely. His gaze changes whenever he sees you chatting and laughing with Ji Bingyan.]
[You didn’t pay much attention to this, assuming that this Jee family’s boy must be attracted to Ji Bingyan. However, out of curiosity, you asked Ji Bingyan about the identity of this young man.]
[In response to your inquiry, Ji Bingyan had no intention of hiding, and she told you the name of the youth — he was Ji Ziqing, a descendant of the Ancestor in her lineage. However, Ji Ziqing wasn’t valued because of his poor innate qualities.]
[If not for Ji Ziqing being a descendent of the Ancestor, he probably wouldn’t even qualify to attend this Immortal Banquet.]
[Hearing this answer, you felt a strange vibe, suspecting that Ji Ziqing might be a Son of Fortune from the trash stream. However, you then concluded that you might have been overthinking it, as it’s not that easy to encounter a Son of Fortune.]
[Afterwards, you curiously asked Ji Bingyan if she’s close to Ji Ziqing. Ji Bingyan nodded, indicating that over the years, she felt slightly responsible for him as she witnessed his hardships.]
[Upon hearing this, you couldn’t help but speculate that the boy was probably experiencing his first love, felling enamoured for the kind-hearted Ji Bingyan. This explained why he was hostile towards you.]
[Despite this, you didn’t care too much about it and soon dismissed it from your mind, continuing to enjoy the party.]
[In the blink of an eye, a month had passed. You often engaged in Discussing Tao with Ji Bingyan, which benefited her greatly and deepened her reverence for you. Meanwhile, Ji Ziqing’s hostility towards you had become more apparent.]
[Finally, it was time for the competition between the two families. You accompanied the Jee family’s entourage and arrived at the secret realm. There you saw a rather familiar face.]
[It turned out, it was the 14th Emperor’s Son of the Taiyi Imperial Palace. Neither the Jee family nor you expected that both parties had invited the Emperor’s sons from the Taiyi Imperial Palace. With so many Imperial-tier forces, so many Imperial-tier Prince-level characters and monsters on Immortal Continent, it was too much of a coincidence for both parties to have invited the Emperor’s sons from the same Imperial-level forces.]
[In that moment, both the Jee family and the Wang family were momentarily speechless, not expecting that the other party was also connected with the Taiyi Imperial Palace. However, the Wang family seemed to be more confident, considering it was more likely that the 14th Emperor’s Son would be stronger than the 5th.]
[On the other hand, the Jee family was also confident. After all, you had made a name for yourself in a single battle. A difference of one ranking couldn’t possibly represent anything.]
[The 14th Emperor’s Son sighed, not expecting to compete against you. Since things had turned out this way, he would not hold back. You responded, “same here”.]
[Before long, the competition between the two families began. The Jee and Wang family’s prodigies achieved victories and defeats respectively. When it came to the sixth round, the Jee family won three matches, while the Wang family won two. You thought you wouldn’t need to take action anymore]
[However, unexpectedly, the Wang family’s Emperor’s son was ruthless. He directly burned his source, making a life-risking strike, severely injuring the Jee family’s Emperor’s Son and thus winning the match.]
[In the end, the score between the two families was tied at three to three, and the outcome would be determined by a duel between you and the 14th Emperor’s Son.]
