The only player in the world of Shrouding the Heavens

But as soon as those two words were uttered, the room fell into a deep silence.

The other four members of the Ji family looked at Ji Jiawu, whose expression remained unchanged.

"It's just that he's a bit too effeminate. I heard it's because he accidentally 'exploded' his lower body while practicing martial arts in his youth..."

No one heard the sounds below.

Ji Jia A Wu roared and unleashed the Void Handprint.

He was a legitimate cultivator of the Ji family, although only from a branch, but compared to everyone else present, he was still considered a superior person.

Even if one cannot fully cultivate the Void Sutra, one can at least cultivate some of its techniques.

The next moment, a giant handprint descended from the void, and a small house in the distance exploded instantly, revealing an old man and a young boy inside.

The older one, everyone knows him. He's a veteran in the team, having served the Ji family for over two hundred years, and is still alive and well, even having seen many people pass away.

The younger one was a complete stranger; it seemed like none of the people present had ever seen him before.

"How dare you! To speak ill of a Dao Palace expert! You're courting death!"

Ji Jia A Wu shouted and charged straight over.

That incident is his greatest pain, so much so that even now, in his fifties, he has never truly experienced the pleasures of love between a man and a woman.

Although he found more than a dozen Daoist partners in total, it was all just talk.

"Brother Dong Xuelian! Save me!"

The old man looked horrified, clearly not expecting that his bad talk behind his back would be overheard.

Dong… Su Zhe chuckled and raised his hand to strike. Although he failed to shatter the void handprint, he didn’t gain any advantage either.

"Heh, as expected of a cultivator from the Ji family, this Void Handprint is indeed extraordinary!"

Su Zhe calmly crawled out of the pit.

With a simple skill called Cleansing Clothes, he was instantly clean and spotless, without the slightest trace of dishevelment.

Su Zhe never cared about these things when facing a group of NPCs.

"Prepare to die!"

Ji Jia A Wu roared angrily and attacked again.

His eyes widened, his pale, beardless face filled with rage, his eyes bloodshot and looking crimson, as if they were about to burst out at any moment.

In his rage, his attacks were extremely fierce.

Su Zhe estimated that the opponent was probably only at the third level of the Dao Palace realm, but his power was almost comparable to those peak Dao Palace experts who were near the Demon Emperor's tomb.

"Heh, as expected of the Ji family. First, the Four Great Emperors seized the Imperial Weapon, and now they've dared to criticize a powerful figure from the Dao Palace!"

Su Zhe was so angry he laughed.

So the Ji family's cultivation level is different from that of the outside world?

Is the Ji family's Dao Palace the same as the Sendai of other forces?

"court death!"

Ji Jia A-Wu roared angrily.

Faced with this attack, Su Zhe did not choose to confront it head-on, but instead took out a token.

"How dare you! Disrespecting the envoys of the Ji family! Are you betraying the Ji family?!"

Su Zhe held the token and shouted loudly.

Special item discovered: Ji Family Token

Use or not?

The next moment, a black ripple spread out from the token, and wherever it passed, the Ji family cultivators felt as if their bloodlines were being suppressed, and they couldn't help but kneel down.

Even Ji Jia's fifth brother, who had the strongest killing intent, was kneeling obediently at this moment.

"It still has to be the Ji family. This thing is really good; it can perfectly suppress these branches and even the collateral branches..."

Su Zhe looked at the token in his hand and muttered to himself.

Ji Family Token: Special Item

The treasure, crafted by members of the main branch of the Ji family using their own high-purity Ji family bloodline, possesses almost omnipotent control and oppression over Ji family cultivators whose bloodline purity is inferior to their own.

Effect: The oppressive aura of a superior! What kind of purity do you have, daring to bark at the main lineage's master?

Upgradeable (requires consuming high-purity Ji family bloodline for upgrade)

The props are simply divine!

Besides having absolute control over those branches with mixed bloodlines, the most important thing is the word "upgradeable".

Although the conditions seem very demanding.

But what if?

What if one day I'm walking around and suddenly find half of the Void Emperor's corpse?

Besides, there are clues about the Void Emperor's physical body in the world of Shrouding the Heavens!

"you……"

Ji Jia A-Wu knelt on the ground, looking at the token in Su Zhe's hand with a shocked expression.

This is the token of the Ji family envoy. Holding this token allows one to command the Ji family squad and even control the life and death of a squad member!

But how could this thing end up in the hands of an outsider?

Not only him, but the other four members of the Ji family were also extremely shocked.

They had been vying for the captaincy, but now they could only watch as an outsider held the token.

"I don't need to tell you what this is, you know it better than I do..."

Su Zhe spoke with a smile, his gaze sweeping over the group of people in front of him.

"Yes, I am the captain sent by the Ji family. You can just call me Dong Xuelian!"

Su Zhe continued.

No sooner had he finished speaking than the old man who had been gossiping about others with him earlier loudly echoed his sentiments.

"Greetings, Captain Dong Xuelian!"

Soon, others also started shouting in scattered, intermittent bursts.

The slogans were neither loud nor uniform, but Su Zhe didn't care.

"Let me make this clear first, I, Dong Xuelian, am an unusual person, so I think my subordinates should also be an unusual team..."

Su Zhe spoke slowly.

Old Deng was still the first to respond.

"Yes! It's not common... We need to be an exceptional team!"

Old Deng raised his arms and shouted.

Only a few people still agreed.

"Are those who don't speak up mute? You can all leave now. As for the cultivation resources I applied for from above, those can be distributed among the remaining brothers."

Su Zhe spoke nonchalantly, as if he truly didn't care about the attitude of the others.

However, upon hearing him say this, the group of people below became agitated.

"Follow in the footsteps of Lady Dong Xuelian!"

"To be a rare team!"

"Lady Dong Xuelian has arrived! Our rare team's hope has been restored!"

A group of people raised their arms and shouted, their voices growing increasingly excited.

Su Zhe smiled and looked up at the sky.

Tafie, if she could see this from heaven, would surely be very happy...

"All are rarely seen, obey my command!"

Su Zhe waved his hand.

The group below immediately fell silent, staring expectantly at the rare Captain Dong Xuelian, ready to hear her commands.

"Our Ji family elders have always protected and guided us in our cultivation, paying a heavy price! But now, this bastard named Duan De, in league with that beast Sun Xiaochuan, dares to offend our Ji family! What do you say we should do?"

Su Zhe shouted loudly.

"I'm willing to share Captain Dong Xuelian's burdens!"

The crowd below shouted.

However, Su Zhe shook his head, looking disappointed. "Are you trying to share my burdens? You're trying to share the burdens of those important figures who are truly concerned for our well-being!"

"Kill Duan De! Slay Sun Gou! Relieve the troubles of my Ji family ancestors!"

Old Deng was the first to react, raising his hand and shouting.

The others came to their senses and joined in the shouting, their voices so loud they seemed to shatter the sky.

On the cloud, the renowned Ji family elders smiled with satisfaction upon witnessing this scene.

This Dongxuelian is truly a genius...
