Covering the Sky: I, Wang Teng, truly lack the bearing of an emperor.

Chapter 97 Slap the old hag twice and drive her crazy

Ji Hui had been smiling, intending to use this method to ensure that the boy would never appear in front of Ji Ziyue again, and to gradually make Ji Ziyue forget about the boy.

Therefore, she planned to ignore Ji Ziyue's request.

However, as the enormous vine cage fell, the ground beneath their feet seemed to tremble slightly.

Dozens of people were imprisoned inside, and flowers even grew on the vines, with flower buds blooming in their mouths, sealing their mouths in an extremely bizarre way.

So much so that even when they landed heavily on the ground, none of these dozens of people uttered a single cry of pain.

"Yue'er, Lin'er... what's wrong with you!" Ji Hui looked at the people in the vine cage and felt as if the world had turned upside down, almost losing her footing.

These people were her most beloved juniors. She sent them out to surround and kill that boy. After the boy was forced into the Fire Domain, most of them should have been observing the situation on the outer edge of the Fire Domain. How come they were all tied up and thrown here?
Moreover, judging from the numbers, almost all of the people she sent out were captured, with only one or two people remaining in this cage.

"Which fellow Daoist is this! How dare you attack my Ji family! Aren't you afraid of incurring the wrath of the ancient clans!"

Ji Hui raised her head and looked up at the sky, letting out an angry roar.

In the vast sky, Lu Hao stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at Ji Hui.

Sure enough, this is a common problem among people in slightly larger families.

Aren't you afraid of your family's wrath or retaliation whenever something happens?

This in itself is an act of admitting defeat.

This is true for some members of the Beiyuan Wang family, some people in Yanxia Cave Heaven, people in Yaoguang Holy Land, and people in the Ji family.

Neither Wang Teng nor Lu Hao ever said such things in public.

Why resort to family power to intimidate others when you can solve the problem yourself?

When fighting someone of the same level and age, if you bring up your family name as soon as you open your mouth, it's an attempt to intimidate others with your family's influence. You may seem to have the upper hand, but that's just borrowing the influence of your predecessors. What does it have to do with you?

"I'd like to see the wrath of these so-called ancient aristocratic families," Lu Hao said calmly.

Even though Ji Hui was in the late stage of the Four Extremes Secret Realm, at the fourth minor realm, Lu Hao remained unfazed.

"Senior Brother!" Ji Ziyue was stunned when she saw the newcomer, and then spoke excitedly.

She glanced at the Ji family cultivators lying on the ground and knew why her senior brother had made a move.

Just like back in the Tai Xuan Sect, the senior brother was standing up for his junior brother!

"The third brother was chased by people sent by this old hag and was forced into the Fire Domain. I have already captured the people who were lying in wait on the outskirts of the Fire Domain."

Lu Hao calmly began to explain to Ji Ziyue the actions of the people he had captured.

Upon hearing this, Ji Ziyue's expression became complicated as she looked at Ji Hui, "Grand Aunt, you..."

Ji Hui quickly explained, "Zi Yue, don't believe what this guy says! He's clearly in cahoots with that boy, trying to sow discord between us so they can continue to profit from you!"

"Old hag, you're still twisting the truth even now, you deserve to be beaten." Lu Hao struck out, pulling out a palm from dozens of feet away.

An immense force appeared from afar and struck Ji Hui's face.

Although she activated her defensive treasure immediately, even a treasure from the Four Extremes Secret Realm couldn't withstand the boy's slap!

With a crisp shattering sound, Ji Hui and the treasure, which had been smashed to pieces, were sent flying backward.

Her skin was already loose and sagging due to her age, but that had one advantage.

After that slap landed, half of her face quickly swelled up, the drooping skin stretched taut by the swelling. Judging by the tightness of her skin, half of her face looked decades younger. "Boy! You dare to lay a hand on me!" Ji Hui covered her face, spitting out a mouthful of blood mixed with her teeth, her eyes filled with resentment as she looked at the boy in mid-air.

She never imagined that a teenager would jump out and slap her without even knowing what happened!

A crowd of onlookers had already gathered around.

Many people in this large city knew that this was where a group of powerful members of the Ji family were temporarily staying, so they naturally had to come and see what was going on.

But as soon as they arrived, they witnessed this shocking scene!
A group of young people from the Ji family were bound by vines, tied up, and thrown to the ground, while the renowned elder of the Ji family was slapped away!

Some people had already run away in fear. The spectacle of the ancient aristocratic families was not something to be watched casually, especially the spectacle of an ancient aristocratic family being humiliated. It was even more unacceptable to witness it in person.

“My junior brother has done a great service to the Ji family, yet you sent people to hunt him down. What can I do if I take action against you?” Lu Hao said.

It was just a slap, nothing more than a casual slap, hardly even a form of punishment.

"You're talking nonsense! It was clearly that kid who set up the scheme, intending to take advantage of the ancient aristocratic family, and only fled in panic after being exposed!" Ji Hui remained defiant.

Lu Hao looked at the girl without saying a word, and then slapped her again, making both of her cheeks "forever young".

He knew that arguing about these things in front of an uninformed crowd was pointless, especially when the other party knew they were wrong but still stubbornly continued to spout nonsense.

How could Ji Hui not know what she was doing?
It's nothing more than finding an excuse to uphold the so-called dignity of the ancient aristocratic families.

However, she deliberately ignored the fact that Ye Fan was Ji Ziyue's savior.

To treat one's benefactor in this way is utterly shameful!
"Boy, you're dead! Even if a powerful expert comes today, they can't save you!" Ji Hui covered her face with her hands and howled wildly.

The burning pain on her face and the stares of the people around her were both unbearable for her.

She was a renowned member of the ancient Ji family, when had she ever been slapped?
What's more, this was in front of a group of younger people and outsiders.

"Zi Yue! Quickly contact the Ji family and ask the Supreme Elder to take action! Suppress this scoundrel!" Ji Hui shouted frantically.

After experiencing the power of those two slaps, she knew perfectly well that she was no match for that boy. If she wanted to get revenge, she could only ask the elders or even the supreme elder of the Ji family for help.

However, Ji Ziyue only gave Ji Hui a complicated look and did not make any move.

This action, when observed by the bolder onlookers, naturally conveyed a deeper message.

They began to wonder if what the arrogant boy said was true.

"You don't need to contact me. I'll be waiting for the Ji family right here! My junior brother was harmed by the Ji family. If you don't give me an explanation for this, even if Ji Haoyue comes, I won't be polite."

Lu Hao spoke calmly, then looked at the younger generation of cultivators from the Ji family, sitting in a relaxed manner.

This scene is just like it was on that day amidst the strange peaks.

Ji Hui was filled with ruthless rage. She immediately contacted her family and asked the strongest members of her lineage to take action against this young man!

Lu Hao watched Ji Hui's actions calmly, without any intention of disturbing her.

One needs to have their identity recognized by everyone before they can continue to do what needs to be done.

Ji Hui and the elders of the Ji family behind her were a very suitable stepping stone.

Just as Lu Hao was calmly waiting for the arrival of the Ji family's experts, another voice rang out at an inopportune moment.
