Chapter 60 The Ancient Ji Family
Ji River is a major river with many tributaries flowing in all directions. Many cities along the tributaries and the main river are built along the water, and there are cultivators coming and going everywhere.

Now that a tremendous explosion has erupted within the Ji family, it has naturally been noticed by many cultivators, who have begun to look towards the Ji family's location. Some have even come to the banks of the Ji River, wanting to get a closer look.

As soon as the immortal island fell from the sky, an unknown cultivator stormed into the Ji family, prompting the Ji family's experts to engage in a fierce battle with him in mid-air. The battle was incredibly powerful, and they fought all the way to the sky above the Ji River, causing the river to stop flowing intermittently.

"Someone actually dares to provoke an ancient family, and now they've even come to the Ji family's doorstep. The last time something like this happened was thousands of years ago."

"Forget it, the Ji family's strength won't be easily shaken. Let's leave and avoid getting into trouble."

"Yes, when important figures clash, the scale of the battle is enormous. Don't be a fish caught in the crossfire."

Qi Zhe stood on the banks of the Ji River, watching some cultivators who had just arrived discussing among themselves as they gazed at the Ji family palace. His expression shifted slightly.

"Indeed. It has nothing to do with me. I should leave as soon as possible," Qi Zhe thought to himself, and then flew towards a city in the distance.

This is a large city left over from the ancient times, less than a hundred miles away from the Ji family's territory. You can see the Ji family's location from the high-rise buildings in the city, and there are Ji family cultivators stationed here.

As Qi Zhe arrived outside the city, the battle in the distance had already subsided. The experts of the Ji family took turns to fight, and finally killed the man on the Ji River. It was just a pity that the man was not alive.

After the battle, the Ji family members at the city gate began to discuss where the criminals had come from, revealing that they had just received information that the criminals were not living people, but puppets.

"It's just a puppet. But that makes sense. Who would come looking for death?" Qi Zhe's expression was strange. Then he walked towards the city gate.

The city gate was not guarded by members of the Ji family. After the battle in the distance, the Ji family members all headed into the city. Only some local rogue cultivators were questioning the passing cultivators.

A cultivator was watching Qi Zhe warily. Seeing that Qi Zhe intended to enter the city, the cultivator shouted, "No entry for living beings!"

Qi Zhe was taken aback upon hearing this, and he stopped in his tracks, asking in confusion, "When I came here, I heard that Haoshui City allowed cultivators to come and go as they pleased? Has the rule changed now?"

The other party was also taken aback upon hearing this, but it wasn't that they were deliberately making things difficult for Qi Zhe. They simply said, "The Ji family was attacked just now, and the city lord has ordered a three-day curfew. Anyone entering or leaving must state their name and cultivation level."

Upon hearing this, Qi Zhe didn't say much, but directly asked, "My name is Wang Teng. I am currently at the third level of the Dao Palace. May I enter the city?"

When traveling, one inevitably needs a secondary account, but Qi Zhe didn't want to harass Ye Fan, so he changed to a pseudonym.

Upon hearing this, the cultivator looked him over carefully, then nodded and said, "Wang Teng, is it? You need to abide by the rules after entering the city, otherwise, let alone your Dao Palace cultivation, even a great cultivator from the Four Extremes Secret Realm won't fare well."

Qi Zhe remained silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Of course, I'm a person who follows the rules the most."

With the other party nodding, Qi Zhe strode into Haoshui City, preparing to cultivate in seclusion here for a period of time, thus escaping the turmoil of the Eastern Wilderness.

Haoshui City is the closest city to the Ji family near Jishui. Not only do cultivators live in the city, but there are also quite a few Ji family members who are unhappy with their lives living here.

As soon as Qi Zhe entered the city, he saw some cultivators dressed in Ji family attire drinking and making merry in the pavilions and towers, each with a different expression.

Moreover, his spiritual senses also detected that there were experts hiding in the city, constantly wandering around as if searching for suspicious cultivators, but they gradually left after a short while.

"It seems the Ji family is also easily frightened," Qi Zhe muttered to himself as he found an inn and prepared to stay there permanently. The inn occupied a large area, with the main building standing forty-nine feet tall and connected to several other buildings. Its highest point was called the Star Gazing Hall, and inside there were many gardens and secret chambers, making it a popular secluded cultivation spot for many cultivators in Haoshui City.

This is because not only is the environment of this inn good, but the owner behind it is also a big figure in the Ji family. Once you stay here, you will be protected by the Ji family and can safely go into seclusion without being disturbed by others.

However, this inn does not accept worldly currency; one can only stay by paying with resources or other treasures, and the price is not low.

"Damn, I feel like I've been robbed!" Qi Zhe stepped inside and immediately gasped in astonishment after asking around. This inn was practically ripping people off; a jin of Yuan could only buy a room in the superior room for ten days.

Moreover, Qi Zhe was not using his Source at this time. Facing the innkeeper with a strange expression, he gritted his teeth, took out a spirit weapon, and whispered, "How long can this divine weapon I obtained from the Demon Emperor's tomb last?"

The innkeeper at the counter smiled as he saw Qi Zhe take out a crystal-clear jade knife. After examining the knife for a long time, he said, "You can stay at Tianyue Pavilion for three months."

Qi Zhe shook his head upon hearing this, then feigned regret and said, "Deal!"

This spirit weapon was already among the best he had acquired, but it was only worth less than ten jin of source energy, roughly the same price he received from the Hu Family Merchant Guild. Fortunately, he decided not to keep it today.

"Alright, this way please, esteemed guest. Tianyue Pavilion is the best place for seclusion here, we guarantee you'll be satisfied!"

With Qi Zhe staying at an inn, the turmoil in the Eastern Wilderness could no longer disturb him. Even though the Yao Guang Holy Land had sensed something was wrong, it was difficult for them to actually enter the Ji family's territory to find Qi Zhe.

"That kid has actually appeared on the Ji family's territory. Maybe that old guy is already past his prime!" A master from the Yao Guang Holy Land deduced Qi Zhe's unusual movements and couldn't help but speculate.

"Perhaps this is a deliberate attempt to mislead us. Why not send out a disciple to investigate?" Some people were still worried and prepared to send a disciple of Yao Guang to scout ahead.

Not long after, a group of Yao Guang disciples went to the Ji family under the guise of paying a visit to the mountain. Among them were the holy sons and daughters of the Yao Guang Holy Land, which made the Ji family feel very strange.

However, this has nothing to do with Qi Zhe. He has been staying in an inn for five days now, only coming out at night to get some fresh air.

Haoshui City was quite lively tonight, with lights everywhere under the night sky. Qi Zhe sat in the Star Gazing Pavilion, gazing at the starry sky, lost in thought.

"Make way, everyone, we have a distinguished guest!"

Amidst the commotion, a number of Ji family members suddenly appeared in an inn. Several young men were ushered up to the Star Gazing Pavilion by the crowd, led by a handsome young man dressed in blue, who looked to be no more than eighteen or nineteen years old.

"Brother Haoyue, tell me, isn't that Yaoguang Holy Land awful? Why do they have to worship at that mountain and make us welcome them here?" A girl in purple said indignantly from the crowd, and the Ji family disciples around her fell silent upon hearing this.

Ji Ziyue is only fifteen or sixteen years old. She looks extremely delicate and cunning, and she is constantly acting coquettishly towards Ji Haoyue.

"Several of the Ji family's moons have come." Qi Zhe's expression remained unchanged as he noticed that besides Ji Haoyue and Ji Ziyue, there was also a man and a woman accompanying the two of them; they were none other than the other two unknown moons.

"What a wealth of talent!"
