I’m taking her away today 02

[Ji Baiming stomped his foot, and layer upon layer of colossal waves spread through the air.]

[The waves continued surging outward, forming a barrier in the sky that cut off the Peace Army atop the colorful clouds from the Ji family on the ground.]

[The raging waves contained immense power. They directly shattered the drumbeat barrier sealing off the Ji clan’s ancestral grounds.]

[Many of the Peace Army soldiers beating the drums were caught in the aftermath, coughing blood as they fell from the sky.]

[Many of the people watching the Ji family’s spectacle from outside the barrier were swept into the waves as well.]

[No matter how they struggled, they could barely break free. It was as though they were mortals drowning in water, leaving them no choice but to rely on holding their breath to keep from drowning.]

[“What astonishing Law power! It’s already approaching the limits of an Immortal Lord!”]

[“Ji Baiming is at least an eighth-order Immortal Lord! He hid himself so deeply! Everyone thought he was only a third-order Immortal Lord!”]

[“If Ji Baiming continues cultivating, he might even reach the realm of an Immortal King!”]

[Ji Baiming controlled a spray of water and lifted himself and Ji Wuqing into the air.]

[“Father? You…”]

[Ji Baiming smiled.]

[“Your father may be unremarkable, but I’m an eighth-order Immortal Lord now.”]

[Ji Wuqing smiled as well.]

[“As expected of my father!”]

[Golden Sea Immortal Lord’s voice was icy.]

[“Ji Baiming, so you’ve been hiding your cultivation all this time. Very good… I hereby pronounce you guilty!”]

[Ji Baiming was no longer the Head of the Ji family. His former obsequious demeanor had vanished without a trace, and he had completely let loose.]

[“Then I’d like to ask: which law have I broken?”]

[Golden Sea Immortal Lord unleashed his Law power once more. Countless threads of human connections wrapped around Ji Baiming and Ji Wuqing.]

[“A charge pulled from thin air!”]

[“This is your true nature!”]

[“Say one more word, and the Ji family will be guilty as well!”]

[Ji Baiming employed the Law of Raging Waves Rising into the Clouds. The waves grew increasingly turbulent, resembling the hair of an enraged man exploding outward.]

[“Fine! I’m guilty! If you want me to submit to the law, come and try!”]

[As the two Immortal Lords began battling with their Laws, the members of the Ji family and the various factions watching from afar scattered like frightened birds and beasts, afraid of being caught in the crossfire.]

[The Human Relations Index collided with the Raging Waves Rising into the Clouds. The countless threads were like flood dragons, churning through the surging waves and stirring the heavens and earth.]

[“Rumble…”]

[Although protective formations had been activated throughout the Ji clan’s ancestral grounds and numerous cultivators were standing guard, the slightest traces of power spilling from the collision of the two Laws still shattered countless buildings.]

[In some unprotected areas, the unfathomable force directly pressed the ground into deep depressions.]

[Ji Wuqing had only just broken through, and her immortal power was weak. She desperately wanted to assist her father, but there was very little she could do.]

[Thread after thread of human connections shot from her body and transformed into tangible power, wrapping her tightly and suppressing the fluctuations of her immortal power.]

[“Ji Baiming! The difference of a single Immortal Lord rank is like the difference between clouds and mud! You’re no match for me!”]

[In a one-on-one battle, Ji Baiming’s Law power was already less flexible and formidable than Golden Sea’s. On top of that, he was an entire Immortal Lord rank weaker.]

[Before long, Ji Baiming’s Law power collapsed.]

[The threads of human connections shooting from Golden Sea Immortal Lord wrapped around Ji Baiming and continued tightening.]

[“Father!”]

[Ji Wuqing could tell that Golden Sea Immortal Lord intended to take her father’s life.]

[“Foolish child, leave now! Do you want your father to die for nothing?”]

[“Father… Golden Sea! What I did has nothing to do with my father. Let him go! I’ll give you any intelligence you want!”]

[Golden Sea Immortal Lord let out a cold laugh.]

[“Do you take me for a fool? You slippery little brat. Once you fall into my hands, you’ll go back on your word, then look for another opportunity to kill yourself.”]

[The threads around Ji Baiming had already cut into his flesh, leaving him covered in blood and horribly mutilated.]

[Golden Sea Immortal Lord sat in his four-wheeled battle chariot, propping up his chin with one hand as he leisurely watched Ji Baiming approach the brink of death.]

[“Ji Baiming, do you see this? You’re about to die, yet not a single person from the family to which you devoted your entire life dares to come and save you. Tsk, tsk, tsk… This is the innate flaw of the human race. You’ve always been like this since ancient times. You deserve the contempt of the myriad races!”]

[The members of the Ji family lowered their heads in shame. Not a single sound could be heard.]

[The newly appointed family head, Ji Xiaori, shouted loudly at the clan members.]

[“Ji Baiming and Ji Wuqing have nothing to do with our Ji family anymore! Anyone who dares to act without permission and save them will be expelled from the Ji clan by this family head!”]

[Ji Baiming was deeply relieved.]

[“Xiaori did well…”]

[With the Ji family acting so cowardly, and Ji Xiaori wearing that smug, fawning expression as though delighted to betray his own father, Golden Sea Immortal Lord could not find any fault to exploit.]

[If the Peace Bureau truly wanted to annihilate the Ji family, it did not need an excuse.]

[But doing so would make it a one-time deal.]

[If they wanted to use the same method to deal with other threats in the future, it would be easy to provoke public outrage.]

[The myriad races of the universe were not united. The races other than humanity certainly did not stand together as one.]

[If the more powerful races seized upon this weakness, the race that stood above the myriad races might no longer be the Sacred Dragon race.]

[As the vice director of the Peace Bureau, Golden Sea Immortal Lord naturally would not personally take action when it came to capturing someone.]

[“What are the Mo Ke brothers waiting for? Seal Ji Wuqing away already! Aren’t you afraid she’ll comprehend something new in this desperate situation?”]

[The three Heaven-Reaching Realm cultivators had just been beaten by Ji Wuqing. Hearing Golden Sea Immortal Lord’s words, cold sweat immediately broke out across their foreheads.]

[“The Immortal Lord is absolutely right!”]

[The three dragon warriors each seized one corner of a bronze iron net and flew toward Ji Wuqing.]

[As Ji Wuqing watched the great net draw closer, she had already resolved herself to die.]

[She could not allow herself to fall into the hands of the Peace Bureau.]

[Even if she could endure their torture without revealing anything, they had soul-searching techniques.]

[Her father saw the resolve to die in his daughter’s eyes, and his heart felt as though it were being cut apart.]

[“Xiaoyue…”]

[“Father, your daughter has failed you…”]

[Ji Wuqing cast one final glance at Mount Gu Xiao, where someone had been immobilized by her.]

[“In the next life… I hope I meet you before she does…”]

[At that critical moment, Ji Wuqing saw a streak of white light pierce through Mount Gu Xiao, illuminating half the sky before crashing abruptly into the bronze net above her head.]

[“Bang!”]

[The sealing spirit treasure itself had poor resistance and was blasted to pieces by the white light.]

[The three Heaven-Reaching Realm cultivators did not even have time to react. By the time they saw the light, the attack had already arrived.]

[In the sky nearby, a figure approached like a ghost. At times he seemed near, at times distant, his image flickering indistinctly. Though there was clearly only one person, it looked as if many people were walking toward them.]

[After a few breaths, a handsome young man appeared beside Ji Wuqing. He looked no older than eighteen.]

[Yet when his eyes turned toward the countless foreign races, the fury and killing intent in them sent chills down the spines of every nonhuman present.]

【The three mighty generals pointed at the newcomer and berated him.】

【“Who are you? Are you courting death by interfering with our enforcement?”】

【“What, you want to kill your father, my good son?”】

【“Insolent! You’re trying to save Ji Wuqing, aren’t you? You’re in league with her!”】

【“That’s right! I’m taking her with me today. Whoever dares stop me—who among you can stop me?!”】
