230: People from the Lu family came
Elder Mu and Yan Qingcheng also floated in the distance, watching the reunion of old acquaintances.
Yan Qingcheng murmured, "Who is this girl? How could Young Master favor her so much? She's truly fortunate."
"This little girl is good, and she's a match for Lad Ji Mo," Elder Mu said with an aunt-like smile.
Shangguan Batian also walked to their side and said sternly:
"Ji Mo, what exactly do you mean? You took my daughter's heart and then disappeared for so many years. Do you know how long my daughter has been depressed?"
Ji Mo knew his father-in-law was angry and shook his head with a bitter smile.
"Yanran, Father-in-law, this is a long story. Let's get on the ship first, and I'll explain everything to you later."
Shangguan Batian was not an unreasonable person. Seeing Ji Mo's good attitude, he snorted coldly and said nothing more.
Ji Mo led the two to Elder Mu and Yan Qingcheng, introducing them to each other.
Shangguan Batian was somewhat shocked that Ji Mo was now acquainted with the leader of a top power in the Endless Sea Region.
The group once again sat on the phoenix carriage. Shangguan Yanran sat down beside Ji Mo, while Yan Qingcheng, understanding, no longer clung to Ji Mo.
He slowly recounted to Shangguan Yanran what had happened after he left her.
Of course, he spoke selectively, and some things that couldn't be told naturally didn't need to be mentioned.
This was the first time Ji Mo had voluntarily spoken about his past, and even Yan Qingcheng and Elder Mu were hearing it for the first time.
They were also shocked by Ji Mo's experiences over the past few years, which could be summarized in one sentence:
"Either he was chopping people, or he was on the way to chop people."
"Lad Ji Mo, no wonder your strength has grown so exaggeratedly. With your experiences, as long as you can withstand the tempering, you can grow into a generation's hero."
"Young Master!" Yan Qingcheng called out softly, her eyes filled with adoration.
Shangguan Batian, who had been furious, had now forgotten his anger. Ji Mo's experiences over the past few years were simply beyond his comprehension.
It made him, a powerful City Lord, feel so insignificant, and at the same time, he understood everything Ji Mo had carried over the years.
As long as he wasn't a heartless man who had abandoned his daughter, he, as a father, could choose to forgive.
Shangguan Yanran sat quietly beside Ji Mo, her arms tightly wrapped around his. When he spoke of danger, she became nervous; when he spoke of great advancements in strength, she was happy. Her beautiful eyes never left Ji Mo's face.
Time passed unknowingly in their reminiscing.
"Leader, we have entered the sea territory of Treasure Gathering Pavilion."
The group walked out of the phoenix carriage and stood on the deck. Ahead, a majestic and enormous island emerged from the water.
The center of the entire island was brilliant and dazzling, enveloped by a massive Formation, which was an anti-flight Formation.
Around the island were various ships, hundreds to thousands, and this was only from Ji Mo's direction.
Many Martial Artists had already landed on the island and were heading to the auction location.
"Young Master, let's go ashore too!" Yan Qingcheng's soft voice came.
"Alright," Ji Mo nodded.
The crowd transformed into streaks of light and flew into the sky. With a wave of his hand, the large ship disappeared, transforming into the heaven and earth furnace, hidden in the void.
As Ji Mo and the others approached, they discovered a floating warship suspended not far from the shore of the island.
On the warship, a large banner stood tall, bearing the character 'Lu'.
This ship was majestic, entirely made of special Materials, and its hull was covered with dense runes.
Once activated, this warship was an Emperor Weapon, a weapon of war.
From this, one could see the terrifying power of an Imperial Family. This single ship could annihilate those lower-tier Imperial Families.
"These bastards really came,".
Ji Mo's brows furrowed slightly, feeling displeased at seeing them.
"Isn't this normal? This matter will probably draw out countless hidden old monsters."
"By now, I've already sensed many powerful Auras on this island, including no shortage of Imperial Rank Peak powerhouses."
Elder Mu's usually calm expression was somewhat heavy.
Ji Mo also heard countless forces discussing the Lu Family, with words full of apprehension towards their Family.
"This Lu Family has also arrived. It's said that their Family Head, Blood Slaughter Blade Emperor, is currently trying to break through to God Rank in a higher Plane. He's probably determined to get this divine corpse."
"Indeed! It seems our families have no chance at all. With the Lu Family's domineering nature, even if we were to get it, we probably couldn't take it away, and might even face the calamity of our Family's destruction."
"Alas, we are just here to make up the numbers again. Hopefully, we can acquire some other treasures."
Many people were discussing.
Hearing these words, Ji Mo's heart tightened. If Blood Slaughter Blade Emperor became a god, then things would become unpredictable.
He made up his mind that this divine corpse absolutely could not fall into the hands of the Lu Family.
Just then, a figure suddenly stepped out from the warship.
A terrifying might pierced the sky, the sun and moon rotated, planets exploded, and various phenomena emerged.
This was a burly man, Blood Slaughter Blade Emperor's attendant — Xiao Hu.
A terrifying Imperial Rank Fifth Stage powerhouse, willing to serve the Lu Family.
"My master is Blood Slaughter Blade Emperor. At today's auction, my master is determined to obtain the God Rank corpse. Whoever dares to obstruct my master's God Rank path shall die!"
Immediately after, several more figures flew out from within the warship.
There were Imperial Rank and Saint Rank cultivators, with the lowest being Saint Rank Peak.
This fully displayed the magnificent lineup of a great Family. These people shamelessly released their oppressive Auras.
This made others tremble, their faces pale, daring not to speak their anger.
"Hahahahaha..."
"You ants are not worthy of competing with me for the divine corpse. If this weren't the territory of Treasure Gathering Pavilion, I would have long since slain you all."
These people from the Lu Family all held their heads high, their expressions arrogant, forcing other Martial Artists to quickly retreat and keep their distance. Some timid individuals hurriedly entered the city to register, not daring to linger and watch.
"Move aside, keep your distance! That's Master Hu of the Lu Family, Blood Slaughter Blade Emperor's most trusted attendant. Even those in the Imperial Rank Late Stage don't want to provoke him."
Someone knowledgeable revealed the identity of this arrogant person.
Even those ancient reclusive elders with ancient Auras, though dissatisfied with the Lu Family's domineering nature, did not stop them and directly entered the city, clearly wary of Blood Slaughter Blade Emperor.
Since the auction hadn't started yet, Ji Mo didn't want to make a move here and offend Treasure Gathering Pavilion. So, he led everyone away, heading towards the Formation.
"Stop!"
Just then, a malicious voice rang out, and at the same time, a terrifying Imperial Rank might enveloped Ji Mo and his group.
This made the Moon Palace guards feel uncomfortable. Ji Mo quickly waved his hand, and a Sword Intent dispelled the pressure, preventing the guards from exploding and dying.
He looked up and saw that it was an Imperial Rank expert from the Lu Family who had locked onto them.
"Master Hu, that's Ji Mo, the Ji Mo who killed our Lu Family Young Lord!" The sycophant was eager to gain merit, his face full of excitement.
