I am asking the Ancestor to ascend to heaven in the world of "Covering the Sky".

Ji Lingyun listened to the words of the sixth ancestor of the Ji family without refuting them, his face remaining expressionless, as if all of this had nothing to do with him.

The Holy Lord of the Ji family frowned and scanned everyone in the palace. Seeing that most of them had an expression of agreement, his heart skipped a beat.

He knew this was bad; Lao Ba and the others must have persuaded the ancestor, otherwise so many elders wouldn't have agreed.

Even the three hall masters who were of one mind with him surprisingly remained silent.

The Ji family has always been ruled by the family head, because the three palace masters all support the family head.

However, if the patriarch speaks, then the family head can only step aside; this is the rule of all ancient aristocratic families.

The ancestor is the greatest!

Ji Wuli is currently the strongest member of the Ji family to have recovered from the divine source, possessing the strength of the third stage of the Saint Realm. Although his lifespan is almost over, he enjoys his current life.

However, since the Eighth Prince obtained the Phoenix Stone from the Northern Plains Wang family some time ago, Ji Wuli has had a new idea.

Perhaps he can fight his way out of the Phoenix Stone and be reborn a second time.

It was precisely because of this that Ji was unable to drag her crippled body to today's meeting.

He will do everything in his power to facilitate the marriage between the Northern Emperor Teng and Ji Ziyue.

The other elders in the palace echoed the sentiments, expressing their agreement with the opinion of the sixth ancestor of the Ji family.

This is also their true thought; who wants to share power?

Moreover, Ji Lingyun is only one branch of the lineage, so whether she exists or not is irrelevant to them.

As descendants of an ancient imperial clan, the Ji family possesses a vast and complex network of influence. What difference does it make whether one branch is added or removed?

Moreover, without becoming a sage, one is ultimately just dust, like Jiang Taixu, who now doesn't even know if he can survive the life-or-death crisis.

If not, it will only be a fleeting moment.

Ji Lingyun is now no more than Jiang Taixu was back then. Even if he can be invincible for a thousand years, who knows if he can eventually break through to the King level?

If they can't even break through to the Dao-Slaying King realm, let alone the Saint realm.

"Ling Yun, what do you think?"

To prioritize the overall situation, the Holy Lord of the Ji family had no choice but to pass the problem on to Ji Lingyun.

Ji Lingyun didn't care; the position of Palace Master was irrelevant to him.

As long as he has the power, even if he's just an idle person, no one dares to disobey him.

Ji Lingyun glanced at Ji Wuli indifferently and said calmly, "I have no objection."

Upon hearing Ji Lingyun's answer, the eight ancestors of the Ji family all revealed a hint of pleased smiles.

now it's right!

You're smart, kid.

The Holy Lord of the Ji family looked at Ji Lingyun with some disappointment, wondering if he had misjudged him.

Is this still the same Ji Lingyun who was so spirited and fearless just a few days ago?

Ji Haoyue, standing in the back row, was also disappointed. He hadn't expected that his goal of chasing after them would be so "spineless".

Ji Wuli was quite satisfied with Ji Lingyun's "cooperation." Such a sensible junior might be able to be recruited. With a little guidance, such a young prodigy could become a very obedient dog.

In his view, apart from his own branch, all other branches of the Ji family were only fit to be their dogs.

The internal struggles within the ancient imperial clans were no less intense than those within any immortal dynasty.

"In that case, Ling Yun will become the Supreme Elder of our Ji family from now on, and he will probably be the youngest Supreme Elder in history. Haha, young and promising indeed."

The Holy Lord of the Ji family didn't say anything. As the head of a large family, he knew very well that Ji Lingyun's "choice" was correct.

This is probably the best option for the Ji family right now, so they don't have to go through the pain of the Jiang family's division back then.

"Haha, you're right. We old folks admire Ling Yun very much. So young, in a few years, he'll definitely be a candidate for the position of Palace Master of our Ji family. Hahaha..."

The eighth ancestor of the Ji family laughed heartily, as this outcome was entirely expected.

Who would dare to oppose a sage ancestor, unless they were tired of living?

"Now, let's talk about the engagement between Zi Yue and the Northern Emperor Wang Teng. I believe that Wang Teng possesses the inheritance of the Chaotic Ancient Emperor, has extraordinary talent, and his future achievements are limitless..."

"Then, Eighth Ancestor, do you think it would be a good choice to have Wang Teng marry into the Ji family?"

At this moment, Ji Lingyun suddenly interjected, and his words immediately left the Eighth Ancestor of the Ji family speechless.

Bringing in a wife?

He never said he would marry into the family!

For a prince of the prestigious Northern Plains Immortal Clan to marry into the Ji Family would be a huge loss of face.

Besides, the Wang family still needs the support of the Northern Emperor Teng, so how could they possibly marry into the Ji family?

The Eighth Ancestor of the Ji Family was momentarily at a loss for words, "Uh... this..."

Ji Haoyue was amused to see that the Eighth Ancestor was rendered speechless by Ji Lingyun's words.

However, before Ji Haoyue could speak, Ji Wuli slowly opened his mouth and said, "Alright, let me speak. Wang Teng is a man of great fortune. If my Ji family can establish a relationship with him, we may be able to use this fortune to rise to a higher level in the future. Therefore, I agree to betroth Ziyue to Wang Teng and let her marry into the Wang family. I wonder if the family head has any objections?"

After saying that, Ji Wuli didn't even look at Ji Lingyun, but simply asked the Holy Master of the Ji family a question in a low voice.

In his view, Ji Lingyun was just being verbally aggressive and didn't amount to anything. The most important thing was the head of the family's opinion.

Although Ji Wuli didn't seem to have long to live, his saintly aura surged forth, instantly turning the face of the Ji family's holy lord red.

Although it was only for a brief moment, it still made the Holy Lord of the Ji family's expression turn ugly.

The Holy Lord holds a very high position in the Ji family, but this is relative. In the eyes of the Ancestor, the Holy Lord is merely a proxy.

If it's not done well, it can be replaced at any time.

Hearing this from the side, Ji Haoyue became anxious and wanted to step forward and express his thoughts.

But Ji Yanzhi had already restrained Ji Haoyue. No one knows a son better than his father, and he was also unwilling to marry Ji Ziyue off. But since the ancestor had said so, what else could he do?

Even if Ji Haoyue were to forcefully unleash his power at this point, what could he possibly change?

In the end, he was locked up anyway.

Faced with Ji Wuli's "declaration," none of the Ji family's high-ranking members present objected; they all seemed to agree.

Ji Wuli nodded with satisfaction, "That's right."

Just as Ji Haoyue was about to explode, a voice rang out.

"Sorry, I disagree!"

Chapter 17 Angrily Confronting the Sage Ancestor

The voice was calm, but it carried an unquestionable tone.

Everyone looked over, and were immediately taken aback.

The speaker was Ji Lingyun.

The thought that couldn't be ignored by everyone was, "Is this kid tired of living?"

Ji Wuli's gaze swept over as well, and a faint pressure also pressed down on him, but Ji Lingyun seemed not to feel it at all, still looking calm and composed.

"Ok?"

Ji Wuli's expression turned rather unpleasant.

Someone actually disobeyed his orders!

Moreover, this kid seems to be quite extraordinary; he can even withstand the pressure of a saint.

It should be noted that even a mere wisp of pressure from that moment was enough to overwhelm a veteran Saint Lord like the Ji family's Holy Lord, yet Ji Lingyun, a newly promoted Immortal Level 2 cultivator, managed to withstand it.

"You disagree with my decision?"

Ji Wuli asked again, intensifying her pressure.

At this moment, an invisible wave of energy emanated from within the palace. Even the Supreme Elders, who were half-step into the Great Power realm, felt a sense of suffocation, and those with slightly weaker strength even withdrew from the palace.

Our ancestor was mighty!

The eight ancestors of the Ji family were overjoyed. Ji Lingyun was really asking for death, daring to oppose the ancestor's decision in public.

At this moment, Ji Lingyun seemed to transform into an unparalleled divine weapon, slowly standing up despite the oppressive aura of the sage ancestor.

"I! Do! Not! Agree!"

Snapped!

Ji Lingyun spoke slowly and deliberately, and the ground beneath his feet instantly cracked open, like a dense spider web, which was quite terrifying.

Two extraordinary figures stood tall and proud, their intentions preceding their movements. The surrounding air seemed to slow down as if influenced by these two.

It felt suffocating.

"I'm giving you one more chance to change your mind!"

This time, Ji Wuli stopped referring to himself as "this old man" and started using "this seat," which shows that he was truly angry.

Those who can become ancestors are all former holy lords and powerful figures. Ji Wuli was also the holy lord of the Ji family ten thousand years ago.
