Shen Yuan Ring

Outside Yi Village, a streak of light descended rapidly.

Ji Daoyi, who had just left the village, was startled by the sudden stream of light. Before he could see it clearly, a figure appeared in front of him in a flash. It was Ye Li, who had come from the Ji family at full speed.

Upon recognizing the figure before him, Ji Dao rushed forward excitedly and hugged Ye Li's leg, saying, "Mother, I didn't expect you to arrive so quickly."

"I heard from Xiaohu that you were in danger, so I rushed over. Ayi, are you alright?" Ye Li pulled Ji Daoyi around, touching him left and right, carefully checking for injuries.

"Mother, I'm fine. Look at me, I'm perfectly healthy. I only sent Xiaohu to you for help as a precaution," Ji Daoyi said, patting his chest.

Hearing Ji Daoyi say that he was fine, he checked himself again before feeling much more at ease.

Then he noticed Ji Zihan and the others, and asked gently, "Zihan, Puyu didn't expect you two to be here too. Are you both alright?"

"Aunt Ye, we're all alright. We're so grateful to Dao Yi for rescuing us this time; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

......

Finally, Ji Daoyi briefly recounted the whole story of their wolf demon mission to Ye Li. After Ye Li roughly understood the cause and effect, his anger was ignited, but he did not show it in front of the child.

Ye Li gave Ji Daoyi a big kiss on the forehead and praised him, "You are indeed my good son. You are brave and resourceful and have not disgraced us. However, you cannot take such risks in the future. If you hadn't been lucky this time, you might not have come back."

"I understand, Mother. I will try a better approach next time."

Ye Li tapped Ji Daoyi's forehead with his right hand and said, "There will be no next time. Since you are all alright, I can return with peace of mind."

"However, you need to hand this person over to me, otherwise you might be in danger going back like this. I also want to know who has the audacity to scheme against the Ji family and my son." As Ye Li spoke, the temperature around them dropped several degrees, and everyone shivered from the cold.

Ye Li took the village chief, who looked like a dead dog, from Wang Yueyue's hands. His eyes were filled with murderous intent. If Ji Daoyi hadn't been completely unharmed, he would probably have been torn to pieces.

"You must be A-Yi's training instructor in the inner courtyard. You're quite good. By the way, Xiao Hu collapsed from exhaustion. I'll send someone to take him back to the inner courtyard once he recovers." After Ye Li finished speaking, he disappeared from everyone's sight before Wang Yueyue could say anything.

In just a few minutes, Wang Yueyue felt like an eternity had passed; she was under immense pressure in front of Ye Li.

"Dao Yi, is your mother at the Divine Realm? Her aura is far stronger than that of the Grand Steward. I didn't even dare to speak when I stood in front of her." Coming to her senses, Wang Yueyue looked at Ji Dao Yi in shock.

"Maybe so, after all, only those who have entered the Divine Realm can fly. Sister Yueyue, you're just too nervous. My mother is usually very gentle, and we didn't sense any aura just now. You can ask Zihan and the others if you don't believe me."

Wang Yueyue looked at Ji Zihan and the other woman, and they both agreed that Ji Daoyi was right.

Wang Yueyue asked in confusion, "Didn't they say that all the cultivators at the Divine Realm level in the clan went into seclusion with the old clan leader? Why didn't your mother go into seclusion like them?"

Ji Daoyi shrugged: "I don't know either."

Within the city of Taoist arts, in a secluded courtyard...

"Useless! You can't even handle this simple matter. Didn't I tell you not to touch Ji Daoyi and his group for now? How come you've made such a mess of things the moment you made a move?" A burly man wearing a mask and a black robe angrily overturned the teacup on the table.

The scalding hot teacup hit the man kneeling on the ground. He was kneeling with his hands and head pressed tightly to the ground, motionless.

"My lord, this was a complete accident. This mission was not originally intended for them. Wang Yueyue must have taken it, and that's how this happened."

"Well, although we didn't kill any of the geniuses in the Ji family's training camp this time, it wasn't a complete loss." The masked man in black robes stood up and continued, "I just didn't expect that Ye Li would reach the Divine Realm so quietly, and even the Perfected Realm. If it weren't for the fact that it was her son who got into trouble this time, she would probably still be hiding."

The masked man in black robes pondered for a moment and then ordered, "Go, temporarily halt this extermination plan and have everyone evacuate. Also, have someone take care of that good-for-nothing and his superior."

"My lord, please withdraw. This has taken decades of effort."

"The losses will be even greater if we don't withdraw. Although we didn't kill Ji Daoyi and the others this time, Ye Li will definitely carry out a major purge within the Ji family."

"Understood, I'll go and inform them right away!"

The man who had been crawling on the ground slowly got up, backed out of the room, and then disappeared from the spot.

.........

Ji family

Ye Li did not go home but went directly to the Hall of Law Enforcement, found the Grand Deacon Ji Yang, and threw the village chief of Yi Village in front of him.

Ye Li, abandoning her usual gentle demeanor, was clearly enraged by this incident, and her domineering aura was on full display: "Ji Yang, I don't care what methods you use, pry his mouth open, I need to know who it is. I want him to know that the Ji family is not to be trifled with!"

"I will definitely handle this matter well! Madam, was that you this morning?"

"It's me!" Ye Li readily admitted. Now that her cultivation level had been exposed, she didn't intend to hide it anymore. She wanted everyone to know that her son, Ye Li's son, was not someone anyone could mess with.

Upon receiving Ye Li's personal confirmation, Ji Yang was extremely excited. In the past, they dared not speak loudly in front of other forces, always choosing to avoid trouble. Wasn't it just that all the Divine Realm elders of their Ji family were in seclusion with the old patriarch?

Although all the deacons knew why the old patriarch had asked the elders to go into seclusion with him, they would have done the same if they were in his shoes.

Now things are much better; the family has someone at the Divine Realm. And a young Divine Realm expert at the Perfected Realm at that! Now they no longer have to be so subservient!

"We've cleared out some spies within the family; I don't want this kind of situation to happen to the Ji family again!"

"I understand!!" Ji Yang exclaimed excitedly; he had been waiting for this day for a long time.

After Ye Li left, Ji Yang instructed, "Wake him up, find out what he knows, and then take good care of him, make him wish he were dead."

"And take this list. Arrest everyone on it and lock them up in the dungeon."

"High Steward, this isn't right. These people above are all..."

"What are you afraid of? If something goes wrong, someone above will take the blame. Besides, hasn't Madam already given her word? What could you possibly worry about?" Grand Steward Ji Yang waved his hand dismissively.

Soon,

A large number of people from the Ji family's law enforcement hall took action, and many members of the Ji family were taken away by the law enforcement team at the same time. Everyone in the Ji family was in a state of fear, afraid that they would be next.

Furthermore, rumors circulated among the Ji family's upper echelons that someone had orchestrated the murder of the training prodigies in an attempt to eliminate the Ji family from the succession competition a few months later. Those arrested were suspected of betraying the family.

If the Ji family's enforcement team had dared to arrest such a large number of people in the past, the enforcement hall would have been overrun long ago.

The reason no one dares to cause trouble at the Enforcement Hall is because of the oppressive aura of the powerful figures this morning. Furthermore, it is rumored among the family's higher-ups that the matriarch is at the peak of the Divine Realm, and this capture mission was ordered by the matriarch herself. Therefore, no one dares to provoke her at this time.
