Chapter 226 Father and daughter join forces, invincible!
"Brother Wu Huang, don't you think your words are inferior?"
Ji Yiyuan put his hands behind his back, a hint of contempt in his eyes. "In the fight for secret realm opportunities, casualties are inevitable. How can you say there's compensation? Someone from Wudi City died at the hands of my Blackwater River Ji family. Does that mean no one from my Blackwater River Ji family died at the hands of Wudi City?"
"But... I only have one daughter, Yao'er. The people from your Ji family deliberately surrounded and killed her, not to compete for the opportunity, but simply to get rid of her."
The politeness that Wu Huang had just worn on his face had now completely disappeared, replaced by a hint of anger.
"Intentional siege?"
Ji Yiyuan shook his head and smiled, "Brother Wu Huang, you need to provide evidence for what you said. My Ji family has had very little contact with Wudi City. How could we deliberately surround and kill Brother Wu Huang's only daughter? Isn't that just asking for trouble?"
"I only know that Yao'er almost died, and the culprit was none other than Ji Wenxuan from your Ji family. Whether there's evidence or not is not important."
“…”
Ji Yiyuan really wanted to curse, saying that this was unreasonable.
and many more.....
Suddenly, Ji Yiyuan realized something. Weren't they just discussing the return of the Immortal Compass? How did they end up talking about the grudge between Wu Yao and Ji Wenxuan?
Wu Huang was deliberately trying to change the subject.
Forget it, the Immortal Compass is important, so let’s just consider this as a loss.
"Brother Wu Huang loves his daughter dearly, and I understand that. When I return, I will definitely interrogate Ji Wenxuan carefully to find out what happened. If he really did something excessive, I will not let him off easily, but..."
Ji Yiyuan looked at Wu Huang and brought the topic back to the topic in the most direct way. "Regarding the matter of the Immortal Compass, I would like to ask Brother Wu Huang to do me a favor. If you are not satisfied with the contents of the Qiankun Ring in your hand, we can sit down and discuss it.
If it were an ordinary earth-grade spiritual artifact, my Ji family would accept the loss if it were really lost. However, the Immortal Compass is a legacy blessed by our ancestors. If it were lost in my hands, I would be too ashamed to face my ancestors in the future."
Wu Huang looked deeply at Ji Yiyuan, who had almost lowered his attitude to the dust. As the head of an ancient family, any top-notch force would give face to him for being able to do this, but...he couldn't do that.
If it was any other earth-grade spiritual weapon, it would be possible to ask Ji for one yuan and then let it go, but the Immortal Compass was just right for Yao'er. There was no way to spit out what had been eaten. What's more, the Ji family almost took Yao'er's life, and as a father, he would never let the Ji family have an easy time.
However, compared to him, someone should be more excessive.
According to Yao'er, Duanmu Liang from the Fire God Temple was injured much more seriously. He used forbidden techniques several times, and not only his body and soul were injured, but he even suffered Taoist injuries. No one who plays with fire has a good temper. There is a high probability that Duanmu Ye will come to the door directly to fight.
"Did Patriarch Ji think I was joking just now?"
Wu Huang chuckled and spread his hands, saying, "I really don't know anything about the Immortal Compass."
"Don't know? I don't trust you, you've already started refining it. Those ancestral imprints and restrictions are simply not something that ordinary people can remove. Not only do I know that the Immortal Compass is in Wudi City, I also know that the person who is refining it is most likely you, Wu Huang.
Fortunately, the Immortal Compass is different from ordinary earth-grade spiritual weapons and is extremely difficult to refine. Looking at the history of the Ji family, there are no more than a handful of people who have successfully refined it. This is because refining the Immortal Compass requires the guidance of immortal spiritual energy, otherwise, the spirit of the weapon will not even pay attention to you.
"But I think Brother Wu Huang, you're just kidding!"
Ji Yiyuan flipped his palm over, and a simple palm-sized compass appeared, its needle fixed on the direction of Wudi City. "This compass has a mother-child traction array with the imprint of our ancestors. It can accurately locate the Immortal Compass. It is inside Wudi City, and it is not far from here."
"It seems that Patriarch Ji doesn't believe me. If that's the case, then I'll let you search for it!"
Wu Huang gestured with his hand, which surprised Ji Yiyuan slightly.
"Thank you, Brother Wu Huang, for your understanding! When I return to the Ji family, I will investigate the matter of the Xuan Emperor Palace and give you an explanation in Wu Emperor City!"
Although he noticed something was amiss, Ji Yiyuan didn't say much, because as long as the Immortal Compass was still there, he would definitely be able to find it, and Wu Huang's attitude seemed to indicate that he really didn't know what was going on.
Accompanied by Wu Chang and Wu Huang, Ji Yiyuan entered Wudi City without any obstruction and arrived at a courtyard in a short while.
"Where is this?"
Looking at the courtyard with the defensive formation fully activated, Ji Yiyuan asked.
"Where I usually live."
"..."
Ji Yiyuan felt like cursing, "Wu Huang, is this what you mean by being completely clueless? The Immortal Compass is right here at your house!"
"The Immortal Compass is right here. Brother Wu Huang, please open the defensive formation and take me inside to take a look!"
"no!"
“…”
Ji Yiyuan looked at Wu Huang speechlessly. "No, you're teasing me, aren't you?" But this was Wudi City after all. He suppressed his anger and asked calmly, "Why?"
"Yao'er is in seclusion to heal her injuries. She was injured in the Xuan Emperor Palace and cannot be disturbed."
“…”
Are you trying to pressure me with this again? Dao Injury? If she really had Dao Injury, would your precious daughter have wasted so much time in Xuantian Dao Sect instead of returning to Wudi City immediately?
Okay, okay, I’ll bear it.
Ji Yiyuan flipped his palm and a crystal-clear fruit appeared. "Brother Wu Huang, Dao injuries should not be underestimated. This Tiannan Bamboo Fruit will have a miraculous effect on your daughter's Dao injuries."
"Master Ji, please come in!"
Wu Huang accepted the Tiannan Bamboo Fruit, waved his sleeve, and the defensive formation retracted. He then extended his hand to signal Ji Yiyuan.
.....
In the courtyard, Wu Yao knew exactly what was happening outside.
She was right in her guess. The Ji family could easily locate the Immortal Compass. Fortunately, she brought it back. If it had been left in Zhao Mu's hands, it would have turned into ashes by now.
But what she didn't know was that even if the thing was really in Zhao Mu's hands, his life was safe. After all, Chi Yanyun and Qi Daorong were with him at the moment. It was hard to say whether the Immortal Compass would be stolen, but if Ji Yiyuan dared to attack Zhao Mu, he would definitely be beaten by the two of them.
"I don't know who Dad learned this from. His tricks are exactly the same as Zhao Mu's. Or is this just a common trait among men?"
Wu Yao chuckled, and the moment the defensive formation was opened, she instantly cleared out all the means left by the Ji family in the Immortal Compass, and then stored them in her sea of consciousness.
That's right, she had succeeded, otherwise Wu Huang wouldn't have left with peace of mind.
As for why he had to wait until this moment to act when he could have completely concealed the Immortal Compass, there are two reasons.
The first thing is, of course, to let Ji Yiyuan confirm that the Immortal Compass is in Wu Di City, so as to protect Zhao Mu and others from getting into trouble.
Secondly, he simply wanted to play a trick on the arrogant and rude Ji family.
However, Wu Yao did not expect that her father was even more evil and experienced than her, and even cheated Ji Yiyuan of his treasures twice in a row.
Needless to say, the things in the Qiankun Ring are certainly not much worse than the things used to exchange for the Immortal Compass. The Tiannan Bamboo Fruit is a rare spiritual fruit. In terms of value, it is more precious than ordinary earth-grade spiritual weapons because it can heal Taoist injuries.
You know, in order to heal his Taoist injuries, Duanmu Liang was forced by Zhao Mu to drink the Purple Rhythm Divine Spring until he burped. A drop of the Purple Rhythm Divine Spring is priceless, and with such a large amount, the value is simply inestimable.
"Is it a Dao injury?"
Wu Yao raised the corner of her mouth slightly and murmured to herself: "It shouldn't be difficult!"
