Dusk Returns to the Ruined Building

The moonlight is clear above the Wangyuan Tower, and an old man and a young man are waiting for dawn.

The strange old man looked at the back in front of him with melancholy. He was really confused, or a little confused! He originally wanted to ask Shen Yichen if he was a member of the Ji family in Zhongzhou, but Shen Yichen asked him back in advance. He didn't know what Shen Yichen meant, let alone what Shen Yichen's basis was!

The strange old man replied with a melancholy tone, which made Shen Yichen confused and bewildered:

"I'm not from the Ji family in Zhongzhou, but I am from the Ji family!"

Shen Yichen did not turn his head, still looking at the vast Sang Yunjiang, thinking about the meaning of the strange old man's words. Of course, he didn't understand!

"I also think that you and I are destined to be together. Don't beat around the bush. Just tell me what you want from me."

Shen Yichen didn't think about it anymore, as if it had nothing to do with him!

The strange old man Ji Chouchan really didn't beat around the bush and said:

"I want to see the jade pendant on your chest!"

Shen Yichen's guess was correct. The strange old man Ji Chouchang really knew the Qiankun Jade Pendant. He went to Yu Mufan just to test him on this point, and also to ask him for advice!

"You won't rob me, will you? Never mind. I'm overthinking it!"

After Shen Yichen finished speaking, he took off the Qiankun jade pendant and threw it to the strange old man.

The strange old man looked at the Qiankun Jade Pendant over and over again for a long time, and suddenly asked:

"Since you are a member of the Ji family, why don't you know the Holy Emperor Technique?"

"Can you tell me about the Qiankun Jade Pendant? I've met several people, but none of them can explain it clearly!"

Shen Yichen still had his back to the strange old man Ji Chouchang. When he decided to keep the appointment, he gave up his vigilance and resistance, because if Ji Chouchang wanted to kill him, he really couldn't escape!

Actually, Shen Yichen now has the ability to escape, but he doesn't know it, because Sister Qing can now use his body to cast spells. Although he still can't beat the strange old man Ji Choucan, Sister Qing is still sure that he can escape, otherwise she would not have agreed to let Shen Yichen come to the appointment!

"You are from the Ji family's royal family, why don't you know the Holy Emperor Art?"

The strange old man asked again, but this time he added the word "royal family"!

Shen Yichen turned around and stood up, looking at Ji Kuang sadly, and said:

"Is it important whether I know the Holy Emperor Technique?"

"It's very important. I need to determine the origin of your Qian Yuan Pei!"

"I have worn this jade pendant since I was a child. Isn't this the Qiankun Jade Pendant?"

"You are from the royal family of the Ji family in Zhongzhou, why don't you know the Holy Emperor Art?"

The strange old man is really persistent in remembering the melancholy, as if the answer is really important!

"Hey, why are you so stubborn? You used the Holy Emperor Art to play "Tian Xuan Nong Yue" in the ruined temple. I noticed it at that time. Do you think I don't know the Holy Emperor Art? Otherwise, why would I ask you if you are a member of the Ji family!"

After Shen Yichen finished speaking, a large amount of Holy Emperor Essence gathered in the void behind him and appeared out of thin air!

The strange old man flashed in front of Shen Yichen, holding Shen Yichen's shoulders with both hands, and said excitedly:

"The Holy Emperor Art of the Unity of Heaven and Earth! You, you, are you really the descendant of Ji Xuanfeng?"

Then the strange old man said to himself:

"No, that's not right. His piece is a jade pendant!"

"Can you please stop getting excited? You have seen everything you wanted to see. You are sure that I am a member of the Ji family! But, can you tell me who I am in the Ji family?"

Shen Yichen felt very confused when he asked himself this question. He was a member of the Ji family, but he knew nothing about himself!

The strange old man remembered melancholy and did not loosen his hands. Instead, he asked:

"Who taught you the Holy Emperor Technique of the Unity of Heaven and Earth?"

"I said I taught myself, do you believe me? If you don't believe me, I can only say I taught myself, and that's the truth!"

Shen Yichen had heard the name Ji Xuanfeng countless times, and he secretly said in his heart:

“This person is legendary!”

The strange old man seemed to have no doubts, but just muttered to himself:

"Could it be that the Ji family has produced another peerless genius?"

"No, no, I'm not a genius, I'm a playboy! Please help me confirm my identity. I want to know if this jade pendant can confirm whose child I am in the Ji family?"

The strange old man Ji Choucan reacted and let go of his hand. He felt that he had lost his composure!

Alas, this cannot be blamed on him. The reason why Ji Xuanfeng was called the peerless genius of the Ji family back then was because he realized the method of the Holy Emperor Art of the unity of heaven and earth. And the reason why Ji Chouchang was defeated under the Emperor Tree was also because he was defeated by the Holy Emperor Art of the unity of heaven and earth!

"No, you are from the Ji family. You know the Holy Emperor Art of uniting heaven and earth. You have the Qianyuan Pendant. You said you don't know who you are in the Ji family?"

The strange old man looked at Shen Yichen with melancholy and a look of surprise!

"You, you talk more than me, and you're more annoying than me. I've had this jade pendant since I was a child. I've been practicing the Holy Emperor Technique since I was a child, but not in Zhongzhou. Moreover, I have no memories of my childhood, and I don't know who my father and mother are!"

After Shen Yichen finished speaking, he turned around and looked at Sang Yunjiang again, because he suddenly didn't want to know anymore. He realized that if he knew his life experience, wouldn't that be an extra shackle on him?

Shen Yichen muttered to himself:

"Master, you didn't tell me because you were afraid that my heart would be shackled?"

People are so strange. When you are eager to know something, you think about it every day, but once you want to know the answer immediately, you suddenly feel that knowing the answer is meaningless!

This is the mood Shen Yichen is in now!

The strange old man was melancholy, but actually he was a little bit unconvinced in his heart. He taught himself the Holy Emperor Technique and achieved the state of unity between heaven and earth. He must be kidding!

"This is called Qianyuan Pei. It belongs to the royal family of the Ji family in Zhongzhou and is inherited from the Ji family!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yichen asked in confusion:

"Then what does it mean when someone says that only the head of a family wears the Qiankun Jade Pendant?"

Shen Yichen felt a little dizzy because the two people's words didn't seem to match each other. To be precise, what he knew didn't match what Ji Chouchang said!

"I know of three Qiankun jade pendants. Yours is the Qianyuan pendant, and the other two are the Kunyi pendant and the Yuxia pendant. The patriarchs of the Ji family will wear one of these three jade pendants, because the patriarchs of all generations are the ones who have the power behind these three jade pendants! So even for the patriarchs, the jade pendants they wear are different in each generation!"

The strange old man looked melancholy and solemn, and said:

"But Ji Xuanfeng said that there are actually four Qiankun jade pendants, but I don't know!"

Shen Yichen thought for a long time and asked:

"You mean I have the Qian Yuan Pei, but I still can't confirm my identity?"

"Yes, but I can't be sure, because I don't know much about the things in the Central Continent Imperial City. I don't belong to the Ji family's Imperial City, but..."

The strange old man was melancholy and fell into deep thought.

"My mother's surname is Shen, my real name is Ji Yichen, and I have the Qianyuan Pei. Can't these three points tell me who I am in the Ji family?"

Shen Yichen revealed his cards. The strange old man Ji Chouchang was not hostile to him like the phantom by the Hailing Lake. Shen Yichen also realized that the Ji family in Zhongzhou was really huge, and all kinds of forces were intertwined!

"I guess you should be the child of the previous patriarch Ji Qingyun, but Ji Qingyun is from the Tianzong lineage, and the jade pendant he wears should be the Kunyi pendant!"

The strange old man Ji Chouchang really couldn't figure it out, because he really didn't get involved in the affairs of the Ji family in Zhongzhou. He had his special mission and responsibilities. But there was one thing, the Qiankun Jade Pendant could deploy him, and only the head of the family and the young master could do so!

The strange old man Ji Chouchang didn't know that Ji Qingyun was actually the common heir of both the inherited lineage and the Tianzong lineage, and the reason why Ji Qingyun was surrounded and killed had a lot to do with this.

The balance of power has been the foundation and key to the stability of the Ji family in Zhongzhou for thousands of years. Whether it was Ji Xuanfeng back then or Ji Qingyun thirteen years ago, their existence was contrary to this foundation, so naturally some people would have a sense of crisis!

Of course, these cannot be made public, and no one will know about them!

However, there were too many factors for Ji Xuanfeng to leave the Ji family and Ji Qingyun's family to disappear. Perhaps no one can explain it clearly. If one must give a reason, it is four words:

"Nothing lasts forever!"

"I am the son of the previous patriarch, Ji Qingyun? Why do you say that?"

"Your last name Shen is taken from your mother, right? Ji Qingyun's wife is from the Shen family of the ancient Miao region in southern Hunan. Her name is Shen Surong. Ji Qingyun's family of three disappeared thirteen years ago. The missing child is about your age!"

"Ji Qingyun, Shen Surong, these are the names of my parents? Can you tell me how they disappeared?"

"I don't know. I'm not from the Ji family in Zhongzhou. However, I think I should call you Young Master!"

The strange old man Ji Chou suddenly became very respectful, and even bowed to Shen Yichen, which confused Shen Yichen, and he said hurriedly:

"Are you kidding? I haven't confirmed my identity yet!"

The strange old man looked at the direction of the Abyss of Death with melancholy, and said faintly:

"You are a member of the Ji family, you are the young master, you are the young master of the imperial city, you can't change it, because this is your fate!"
