The Name of Eternity.

Chapter 230 Two Slaps of Suppression

On the top of the holy mountain, in the Ji family's meeting hall.

The Ji family has many branches. Except for the brothers that Ji Yunge is familiar with and are accompanying Ji Yunge on his last journey, the rest of the elders and branches have gathered here.

Previously, they wanted to visit Ji Yunge. After all, the latter was the war god of their Ji family and they had to respect him openly. However, the head of the family, Ji Daoxin, stopped them. Ji Daoxin saw that the only reason Ji Yunge was able to return to the family at the time of his death was because he was attached to certain things in the family.

As for the other people around him, they may not necessarily win his heart and may even get in the way.

Having fought for the Ji family all his life, before his death, Ji Daoxin hoped that he could leave quietly in the way he liked, without being involved in worldly affairs.

At this moment, some elders and elders from various branches gathered to discuss Ji Yunge's return.

"It's a pity that the War God Yun Ge is about to dissipate. Otherwise, if this boy sends the heroic spirit of the War God Yun Ge back, it will be considered a great achievement for our Ji family!"

"If Yun Ge wants to let this boy marry into the Ji family, I'm afraid it will break the rules."

"At the beginning, for the sake of Master Thirteen, Ji Qingqing was not severely punished. She was the daughter of the first wife, but she committed a serious crime. Now she is only imprisoned for a thousand years, which is a lenient sentence. If her son is allowed to join the clan now, I am afraid it will be a sign of the decline of our clan!"

"That's right. Once this precedent is broken, what should we do if other Tianjiao marry outsiders in the future?"

The crowd was talking about it, most of them held opposing views, some of them were inciting others, and they were all secretly a faction headed by Ji Qingyuan.

Ever since Ji Qingyuan broke through the four realms in succession and became the new war god of the Ji family, many people have become friends with him.

On the rattan chair next to Ji Daoxin, an old man with snow-white hair sat upright. There was an aura of majesty between his brows. It was Ji Qingyuan.

His eyes were indifferent, as if he was not involved in the dispute, but his arrival and just one opening word of opposition made those supporters understand his intentions and they charged forward to support him.

"I have already promised Yun Ge about this. He is the war god of our Ji family. He has toiled for the Ji family for half his life. Now that he can return to his hometown, isn't it worth thanking that young man?"

Ji Daoxin looked calm and said, "Besides, Qingqing's matter is over and there is no need to discuss it anymore. The young man has Qingqing's blood in his body, but he is a foreigner. According to the rules, he should be executed. But he risked being executed to escort Yunge back. You should also consider this kindness carefully."

"Master, that young man is just trying to use the merit of escorting to join our Ji family."

One elder said: "Such care is obvious at a glance."

"That's right. Thinking of using my Ji family's resources to take off is simply wishful thinking!"

An elder with a bad temper said that his grandfather's generation was also glorious.

"Everyone, War God Yun Ge said before that the young man is a stunning figure. If my Ji family can really get this genius, it would not be a bad thing."

There were also people from Ji Yunge's lineage who came to discuss the matter in the crowd.

"Humph, my Ji family has no shortage of geniuses. With the resources of my Ji family, even a genius with just a little wisdom can be cultivated into a genius. Why do we need this half-blood bastard?"

The earlier grumpy elder snorted.

After hearing this rude insult, several people's faces suddenly changed and they looked angry.

They are all descendants of Ji Yunge, and Ji Qingqing's children can be considered their juniors, so their blood relationship is closer.

However, the Ji family prohibited intermarriage, and many people were executed or imprisoned for this. Those of ordinary origin were insulted even more harshly. Although they were angry, they also knew that being angry about this matter would only anger more people.

"To put it another way, even if we let him join the Ji family, would he be considered a concubine's son or a legitimate descendant?" an elder asked.

Hearing this, some of the people who were arguing turned their eyes to Ji Daoxin.

The previous arguments also became quieter.

Ji Daoxin looked calm and glanced at Ji Qingyuan indifferently, knowing that this was the real reason why the other party came to denounce him.

Although the Ji family was able to unite against foreign enemies when they encountered them, the conflicts that had accumulated within the family for thousands of years were difficult to resolve. Especially because of bloodlines and sacred bones, the treatment of legitimate and illegitimate children was extremely different.

For example, illegitimate children can only live on floating islands outside the holy mountain.

Even a war god like Ji Qingyuan is not allowed to live in the holy mountain.

Including the "Qing" generation in his name, although he is in a high position and has great power, he is suddenly shorter than the direct descendants of the same age.

This is also because the overall distribution of the Ji family's illegitimate children is in the middle and lower levels of the Ji family, while the direct descendants hold real power in the upper level and are generally stronger.

Although Ji Qingyuan is strong and has now become a god of war, he is ultimately a bastard and cannot escape the flaws of his birth.

This difference between legitimate and illegitimate children has long been deeply rooted in the Ji family, and the difference often brings prejudice and arrogance.

For example, some ancestors were royal relatives. Even if their descendants were wandering and had no food to eat, they would still boast that their ancestors were from an imperial family. They might even go crazy because of this, indulge in the glory of their ancestors, and be unwilling to accept the reality of their long-standing decline.

Or the ancient aristocracy, even in decline, still looked down on the suddenly emerging wealthy merchants, considering them vulgar.

It is human nature to laugh at others' shortcomings with one's own strengths.

Even if one is good for nothing but a pretty face, one will still laugh at those who are knowledgeable, wealthy and powerful but not as good looking as oneself, and use this to console oneself.

Not to mention that the difference between legitimate and illegitimate children is indeed huge, and there are gaps in strength in all aspects. This is also the reason why the legitimate line can firmly occupy the upper class.

After all, examples like Ji Qingyuan, who was born a concubine but accidentally awakened the holy bones, are extremely rare, and it is only the second case in ten thousand years.

Being treated with arrogance for a long time will inevitably breed anger and hatred.

Therefore, Ji Daoxin had already seen through Ji Qingyuan's thoughts and could empathize with him, but he understood that this was a dead end that could only be broken by a saint.

But he is not a saint. Unless the ancestor is resurrected and uses the power of preaching as a saint to change the situation, otherwise the grudges between the legitimate and illegitimate children will exist forever because of the existence of blood and holy bones.

Now, the young man's coming here is just a gap in the feud between the legitimate and illegitimate children of the Ji family.

The problem does not lie with the young man, but in Ji Qingyuan's heart, and also in the grudges between legitimate and illegitimate children that have accumulated in the Ji family for thousands of years.

After a long silence, Ji Daoxin said, "He is Ji Qingqing's child, so he should be a legitimate child. But whether he is legitimate or illegitimate can be determined based on the concentration of his blood. I heard from Yun Ge that he has the appearance of a genius, and it is unknown whether he has the holy bones of our Ji family in his body."

"If he is born with holy bones, he should be included in the direct lineage. If he does not have holy bones and his aptitude is ordinary, he will be a concubine's child. What do you think?"

Hearing his words, many elders' eyes flickered and they communicated with each other.

Ji Qingyuan felt Ji Daoxin's gaze and knew that he was actually asking about himself.

But his expression remained unchanged and he did not express his opinion.

"Master, if he is born out of wedlock, then whether he wants to become the Ji family's genius depends on his own strength!"

An elder said.

"That's right. Escorting the war god Yun Ge back can only save his life at most. It's good enough that he was not executed. The blood of the foreign race who had an affair dared to come to my Ji family to defile it. His intention is ridiculous!"

"Do you agree that he can marry into the Ji family? I don't agree. Even if he is a concubine's son, he is not worthy!"

"If you are of foreign blood and marry my illegitimate daughter, won't your bloodline be even weaker?"

Everyone started talking again.

Seeing that Ji Qingyuan was indifferent, Ji Daoxin narrowed his eyes slightly, his face became slightly gloomy, and said:
"enough!"

The two words were not spoken with much emphasis, but they instantly silenced all the voices present.

These elders were not speaking without reason, nor were they reckless. Their words had purpose and intention. Seeing that the patriarch had been angered, their faces changed slightly.

"If you have any objections, let the elders vote!" Ji Daoxin said with a cold face.

Hearing this, many people's faces changed slightly. Among the elders, there are most direct descendants. If a meeting is held and Ji Yunge's lineage comes forward to lend favors, the final decision may make that young man directly become a direct descendant!

The reason why they are arguing now is that they hope to skip the elders' meeting directly. After all, every time a meeting of elders is held, it is not a good thing for the Ji family and has a great impact. Many elders are either in seclusion or guarding one side, and not all of them can come.

But once the meeting was held, the elders had to be summoned.

Ji Qingyuan narrowed his eyes slightly and said slowly: "Everyone, since the Patriarch has already made a decision, I agree with his idea."

"In my Ji family, the strong are respected. Whether it is legitimate or illegitimate depends on whether the young man is strong or weak!"

"If he possesses holy bones, wouldn't it be ridiculous to expel him from my Ji family? If this gets spread among other ancient holy clans, I'm afraid people will laugh their heads off!"

"Since War God Yun Ge favors him so much, he must have some outstanding qualities. Why not let Qing Shuang test him?"

He hadn't spoken before, but after he said this, the place fell silent.

Ji Daoxin's eyes narrowed slightly, the other party's words "only the strong are respected" were obviously meaningful.

The latter is already a god of war, but still bears the label of being a bastard's son. He wants to take the opportunity to tell others that a bastard's son is not inferior to a legitimate son. His purpose is to let his descendants enjoy the same treatment as legitimate sons!

Although Ji Qingyuan is now known as the God of War and no one dares to look down on him, the other party's move is to speak for the other illegitimate children who supported him on the road to success.

Thinking of all these things, Ji Daoxin sighed inwardly, knowing that the war between legitimate and illegitimate children that had broken out in the Ji family thousands of years ago might happen again.

"The words of the War God Qingyuan make sense. There are countless demons in my Great Wilderness. The strong prey on the weak. Since ancient times, the strong are respected and the weak are submissive!"

"That's right. Whether he is a legitimate son or a concubine depends on whether the young man is strong or weak!"

Many high-ranking officials who were born out of wedlock spoke up immediately and repeated Ji Qingyuan's words, feeling refreshed.

There are weak ones among the direct descendants, and there are strong ones among the illegitimate ones, but the strong ones born out of wedlock always feel inferior to those of the direct descendants. This feeling of depression and anger has long made them feel aggrieved.

Originally, those senior members of the Ji family who had nothing to do with Ji Yunge and Ji Qingyuan wanted to speak up and discuss the matter from an "objective" perspective, but when they saw that Ji Qingyuan had already reached a consensus with the head of the family, they realized that there was no need to discuss it further.

"In that case..."

Ji Daoxin was about to speak when a figure suddenly rushed in from outside the meeting hall and stopped at the door:
"Report to the master, something happened down the mountain."

"Ok?"

Ji Daoxin was slightly startled, and his spiritual sense quickly covered the area. He did not ask any questions, but directly investigated.

"what's up?"

The elder next to him did not dare to release his divine thoughts so recklessly to cover the entire holy mountain, and asked in confusion.

"Ji Yufen Tianjiao and that outsider have started fighting!" the guard who reported the news said hurriedly.

Hearing this, everyone was stunned and looked at each other. An elder who was born out of wedlock asked, "The outsider you are talking about is the young man who brought the war god Yun Ge back?"

"Yes, it's him." The guard nodded.

"This is simply unreasonable!"

"You've just arrived and you dared to fight with my Ji family's genius. How arrogant!"

"Well, let Ji Yufen teach him a lesson so that he won't be ignorant of his own limitations. Is our Ji family a place where people can act recklessly?"

Many people became angry.

Ji Qingyuan stood up and noticed that Ji Daoxin was using his divine sense to investigate. However, he was not Ji Daoxin, nor was he a direct descendant of the Ji family. Although he was a god of war, he could not rashly investigate everywhere in this holy mountain. He immediately bowed slightly and said:

"I wanted to let Qingshuang test him, but now it seems that it is not necessary. I will go and see what this genius is like first. He is a half-blood descendant of the emperor, so he should be very powerful."

Having said that, he smiled faintly, said goodbye to the patriarch, and left the hall.

As he stood up, the others did not delay any longer, said goodbye to the head of the family, and set off to watch the show.

"That child..."

The faces of several people from Ji Yunge's lineage also changed slightly. They didn't expect the child to be so impulsive. They quickly stood up, said goodbye, and hurried away to prevent the other party from suffering.

The others looked at Ji Daoxin, but saw a hint of surprise on his face. He did not stop Ji Qingyuan and others from leaving.

……

……

Bang!
A figure suddenly flew out, broke through the door of the reception hall, and rolled onto the street outside the hall.

Next to him, a young man stood with his hands behind his back. His expression changed slightly and he looked forward gloomily.

Outside the door, Ji Boduan's face also changed. He didn't bother to help the boy who had fallen out, and quickly ran to the middle of the people in the hall:
"Everyone, calm down. This is the reception hall. Do not use force."

"Go away!"

The young man standing with his hands behind his back spoke directly.

Ji Boduan's face changed and looked a little ugly.

The young man ignored him, but stared at the young man sitting quietly in front of him. He had previously asked the pursuer beside him to take action because he was too lazy to dirty his hands. He did not expect that the opponent was so powerful that he defeated the pursuer easily.

The young man was Ji Yufen, one of the Ji family's geniuses. Seeing that he was about the same age as Li Hao, he wanted to come and teach him a lesson. After all, this would not be considered bullying.

The pursuers around him are also geniuses of the Ji family, but they are still a little short of being the prodigies, so they choose to follow the prodigies. In the future, when the prodigies rise rapidly, these pursuers will also benefit and may be promoted to become senior members of the Ji family.

"It seems like he really has something. No wonder he's so arrogant. Do you think he can squeeze into our Ji family just by doing this?"

Ji Yufen said with cold eyes.

He strode towards Li Hao, wanting to teach Li Hao a lesson personally.

"Master Yufen, you can't break the rules..."

Ji Boduan hurried forward to stop him.

"roll!"

Ji Yufen suddenly burst out with momentum. Despite his young age, he actually exuded the aura of the Third Immortal Realm, and it reached the peak, reaching the Unfading Realm!

He roared angrily, pushing Ji Boduan back, then stepped out like a dragon or a tiger and stood in front of Li Hao.

"It's not too late to change your surname and get out of the Ji family now!"

He looked down at the young man sitting in front of him.

Li Hao paused for a moment, holding the cup of tea he was holding to entertain the guests.

"Who are you?"

Li Hao turned and looked at him.

"You don't need to know who I am, and you don't deserve to know!" Ji Yufen's eyes were cold.

Li Hao withdrew his gaze indifferently, raised his head and drank the tea in the cup, then said:
"I asked you who you are not because I really want to know who you are. I just want to ask you, who are you and why do you care what my last name is?"

"Because this is the Ji family, and because you are a bastard, you don't deserve the surname Ji!"

Ji Yufen said angrily.

A cold light flashed in Li Hao's eyes. He glanced at the angry young man, then slowly put down the teacup and slowly stood up.

Ji Yufen was not in a hurry to attack and was unwilling to launch a sneak attack.

As a genius, he has his own pride.

He looked angrily at Li Hao, who was shorter than him when he was sitting, but now was a head taller than him when he stood up. The other party was younger than him, but taller than him.

This made Ji Yufen's face look a little ugly.

"It seems that the Ji family's family motto is generally not very good." Li Hao said softly.

Before the young man in front of him could get angry, a loud slap suddenly sounded.

Ji Yufen's head tilted to the side, his brain was buzzing, and blood was spurting from his mouth. The "Kun Yu Treasure Body" he practiced was actually broken by Li Hao's slap.

"I'll reluctantly educate you on behalf of your parents."

Li Hao looked indifferently, then raised his head and looked outside the reception hall. Feeling the atmosphere of the crowd watching, he said in a cold voice:
"Whose child is this? Do you want me to kill him on the spot before you come to claim the body?"

Hearing Li Hao's words, everyone outside the hall was shocked. Many of them saw this scene through their souls. Ji Yufen was about the same age as Li Hao, but he was slapped in the face by Li Hao!
"you you!"

At this moment, Ji Yufen also reacted, his face full of disbelief, but then all the blood in his body seemed to rush straight to the top of his head, and he felt like he was about to explode.

"you wanna die!!"

He roared, and his whole body's energy suddenly surged. In an instant, his flesh and blood swelled, making a crackling sound.

Behind it, the shadow of the ancient ferocious beast Kunpeng emerged, containing extremely fierce and violent power.

But before he could make a move, a second slap came.

This time, his head hit the stone slab under Li Hao's feet directly, and it hit us deeply!
The phantom of Kunpeng was also shattered by the palm and turned into a phantom.

"Why, you won't stop until I beat you to death?"

Li Hao withdrew his hand and slowly swept his cold eyes outside.

The crowd that had come to watch almost screamed out in surprise. It was unbelievable that this young man could suppress Ji Yufen with just a wave of his hand, and even knocked him unconscious with two slaps!
Ji Boduan next to him widened his eyes in shock, a little stunned.

Although we know that Li Hao escorted Ji Yunge back, given Ji Yunge's strength, it is not certain who will escort whom.

This young man looks only fifteen or sixteen years old. Even among the Ji family's geniuses, Ji Yufen is the youngest among them. He reached the state of indestructibility at the age of fifteen. Although he is still in the state of indestructibility at the age of seventeen, he may be able to comprehend the heart of Tao at any time.

But at this moment, he was easily defeated by Li Hao?
"What a arrogant tone!"

In the sky outside the palace, several figures emerged, emitting a majestic aura without any concealment.

They were dressed in extraordinary clothes, had a dignified demeanor, and had cold eyes. They were all the prides of the various branches of the Ji family.

"This is the Ji family. How dare you hurt people at will? Did you steal the Ji family skills from your mother? If so, don't blame me for bullying the weak!"

One of the young men stepped out, and his mighty aura suddenly revealed, which was the aura of a person in the Four Stages Realm.

The crowds who came from far and near to watch were all shocked.

"That's Ji Mingque, who is considered a strong man among the geniuses."

"That outsider just defeated Ji Yu Fentianjiao. He seems to be quite strong!"

“If he didn’t have some skills, War God Yun Ge wouldn’t have praised him so highly, saying that he would definitely become the proudest of our Ji family. It seems that he really has the ability.”

“However, does this guy think that my Ji family is a shabby place where he used to stay? Even if you are a genius, you have to lie down and obey me in my Ji family!”

"I think that this person has made contributions to our Ji family by escorting the God of War Yun Ge back. Would it be bad to treat him like this?"

Many people's spirits flew out, watching this place from afar and talking about it.

Li Hao frowned slightly. He didn't expect that the Ji family was so xenophobic. He thought that most people would be as reasonable as Ji Yunge. It seemed that Ji Yunge was only a minority in the Ji family.

"War God Yun Ge said that you are a genius, right? If so, if you want to join my Ji family and be on par with us, it depends on whether you have the ability!"

The young man named Ji Mingque had cold eyes as he stood in the void and looked down at Li Hao. He was more mature than Ji Yufen, and before his superiors gave orders on how to deal with Li Hao, he did not rashly use his own dissatisfaction as an excuse to attack.

"Wouldn't it be an insult to me to be ranked alongside you?"

Li Hao said quietly.

"you wanna die!"

Ji Mingque was slightly stunned, and a cold light suddenly flashed in his eyes. He thought they were proud enough, but the young man in front of him was even more rampant!

"If you can block my shot, I will recognize you!"

He suddenly attacked, his spear flipped out, and there was suddenly a space of heaven and earth.

The spear light condensed, containing the true power of martial arts. The terrifying spear force condensed into a point and suddenly smashed towards Li Hao.
