I’m Really Not A Supreme Master!

Ji Changxiao stared at Ji Qingbin and the others, advancing step by step, his words icy:

“According to clan rules, harming one’s own clan allows for direct execution. If I kill you all, the clan won’t have anything to say!”

Intimidation!

At this moment, Ji Yuanqing burst into sudden laughter!

A desolate, mocking laughter!

“Our ancestors guarded this realm, allowing our clansmen to find their way back… Is this the gratitude we get from the clan?”

“Harming one’s own clan? Have you ever considered us part of the clan?”

“Since that’s the case, our lineage might as well renounce our ties to the Ji Family today…”

His heart had turned cold!

The ancestors died in battle, the First Heavenly Realm was shattered, and they even forgot who they were for a time…

And this was the outcome they received!

Why return to such a family?!

“How audacious! Renounce your ties to the Ji Clan? You deserve death!”

His Saint Path cultivation exploded forth, and with a fierce palm strike, he aimed at Ji Yuanqing, Ji Qingbin, and the others!

That palm strike nearly covered all of Ji Yuanqing’s clansmen.

The killing intent was boiling over!

Annihilation!

Yet in Ji Yuanqing’s eyes, there was not a flicker of movement as that palm descended!

He suddenly took out a painting!

—It was the “Ji Shui Tu” he had acquired from Li Fan!

The scroll wasn’t even unfurled, just held up!

Ji Changxiao’s palm strike hammered onto the scroll!

All the attacks vanished as if swallowed by the sea!

A faint aura even began to emanate from the scroll.

“No—”

Fear surfaced in Ji Changxiao’s aged eyes; this aura… was clearly terrifying beyond measure!

Did it originate from a Saint?

No!

He fought with all his might, and in front of his chest, a bronze mirror shone, protecting him!

This mirror was a Holy Artifact, emitting the light of the Saint Path at this moment!

But when that aura descended, the bronze mirror shattered instantly!

The Holy Artifact exploded!

“Ah—”

With a scream, Ji Changxiao was sent flying out the main gate.

“Bang!”

Landing heavily, Ji Changxiao’s face turned pale, his body convulsing!

“Elder!”

“Elder!”

The members of the Ji Family from the Main Ancestral Hall rushed over to help Ji Changxiao up.

Their faces were filled with terror. What was that scroll, and how could it be so terrifying?

Keep in mind, Ji Changxiao was a Quasi Grand Power, and he even had a Saint Level Bronze Mirror at his side!

That scroll had injured him severely with just aura and destroyed the Saint Level Bronze Mirror?

This meant the scroll was at least a tool of a Saint Monarch level character… or even higher!

“I… I understand now; it’s that painting, the one lost in our clan…!”

“Go… Go! Take me back to the clan… Quickly!”

Ji Changxiao was utterly terrified!

Immediately, the group took their elder and grandchild and ran without looking back!

There was no way they dared to stay a moment longer!

In an instant, everyone from the Ji Family’s Main Ancestral Hall had left!

It was only then that Ji Yuanqing finally put down the scroll.

“Patriarch…”

“We…”

The people looked to Ji Yuanqing.

“From this moment on, we have no ties with the Ji Family out there!”

Ji Yuanqing shook his head, his eyes so indifferent and calm at this moment.

Their lineage had made countless sacrifices to preserve the clan’s marker. Ancestors died in battle, descendants faced calamities, and throughout the Era of Immortal Dao, numerous Immortals struggled to survive, with even an Immortal King facing eradication and the First Heavenly Realm shattered…

He had thought that during the Era of Sacred Dao, he would finally be able to return to his family.

But the result was this.

However, at this moment, he suddenly understood.

The Ji Family? The Main Ancestral Hall?

After tens of thousands of years, why bother returning to depend on them?

Resolve grew steadily in his eyes as he said:

“Everything our lineage has comes from the Lord of the Desolate Heavens. From this day forth, we will serve the Lord of the Desolate Heavens!”

He turned to look at Ji Qingbin and said:

“I will take you to the Desolate Heaven Alliance!”

Beforehand, although he had always been on good terms with the Desolate Heaven Alliance, he had never joined.

Because he knew he was a member of the Ji Family.

With the family there, he could not pledge loyalty or allegiance to anyone else.

But now, they had renounced the Ji Family!

He hesitated no longer!

At his words, the clan members all nodded in agreement!

Clearly, the four words “Lord of the Desolate Heavens” gave them a greater sense of belonging!

Immediately, Ji Yuanqing re-opened the scroll, took back the long river reflected in reality into the scroll, and then, they departed!

…

Not long after.

Another Yu Kong Flying Ship finally appeared here.

It was Ji Changming and others.

They had been trapped by the Array and had managed to break through after great effort, but had been significantly delayed.

“Hm? Something’s not right… Why does this place look so different?”

Ji Changming looked at the mountain range before him and was suddenly startled!

When he had last come here, there had clearly been a surging grand river, resembling Ji Water and seemingly containing the terrifying Source of the Saint Path…

But now, the river was gone.

In the mountain range, all that remained were some empty buildings, and the air was thin with Spiritual Energy.

“What happened?”

Ji Changming and the others landed, all equally shocked.

—At the gate, there stood a Stele!

“The Ji Tianjing lineage has renounced ties with the Ji Family!”

“From now on, they are severed like a cut rope!”

The Stele bore two succinct rows of words!

Ji Changming suddenly exclaimed in a lost voice: “This…”

…

Soon after.

In the Ji Family Ancestral Court in the North Immortal Realm Middle Domain!

“Terrible news!”

“Elder Ji Changxiao has been crippled!”

A group of returnees shouted in alarm!

Immediately, the Ji Clan was tremendously shocked!

“What? Elder Ji Changxiao has been gravely injured and crippled? How is this possible…”

“Ji Changxiao is the son of the family head, who would dare act recklessly…”
