Vol 5 Chapter 24 (1/2)
Book 5, Zifu Disciple, Chapter 24 – The Stone Room Within the Mine
Misty fog coiling about, Ji Ning just stood there, looking at his five elders The Patriarch, his father, and the others were all very calm Clearly, they had already made their decision
“I am the Patriarch” Ji NInefire said very calmly “For the sake of the Ji clansmen For the sake of the Ji clan’s reputation! I will stand out and welcoon Mountain!”
Granny Shadow said in her hoarse voice, “I’ve lived nearly four hundred years Can it be that I, Ji Shadow, a to hide so as to live for a few er? In addition, I feel very happy that I’ll be able to face death with my elder brother”
“Wherever , actually spoke out, a rare event indeed
“It’s enough for we three old fellows to be there” Ninefire smiled
“Patriarch!” Truekeep spoke out “I know the list the Zifu Disciples of the Ji clan, I ae It’s virtually i Adept! This battle…is the most critical battle which will determine the fate of my Ji clan I cannot hide from it”
Yichuan smiled as well “Patriarch, you know my situation as well My Immortal path is shattered I don’t want to die a silent, less death I must participate in this battle”
“The two of you…” Ninefire shook his head
Ning, hearing this, was stunned
His Immortal path was shattered?
Didn’t his father always say that his heart was focused on following the Ie?
“Father, you said your I stared at his father in disbelief
Yichuan looked at his son, a rather co in the Darknorth Sea, I had already broken through to the Zifu Disciple level Afterwards, when your nant with you, I had already reached to theto return to S Mountain, but your maternal uncle orried, so he escorted us back”
Ning listened intently
He knew that a calamity had occurred on the way back
“Afterwards, we met with a disaster” Yichuan said “Your mother was badly injured, but your Uncle White led you back Your uncle and I both executed forbidden arts, using all ourthat battle, your uncle died while I was badly injured Because I used a forbidden art for too long a period of tireat, and my Violet Palace becaain in the future In other words, it is impossible for me to increase my power I will forever remain a mid-level Zifu Disciple”
“Because of the atrophication of y within my Zifu” Yichuan shook his head “There’s no way I can ride on a ic treasure with just that tiny strand of Ki! Thus, I focus onthe foundation of it I draw forth the power of the world with every single blow of sword light”
“But of course” Yichuan said somberly “I can still use a forbidden art one y froiven how my Zifu is already warped…there’s no need to repeat what I said earlier Once I use a forbidden art, most likely within one hour, my Zifu will completely shatter, and I will be transformed into a cripple In other words…I, your father, can only be a Zifu Disciple for one lory, I will become a cripple”
Ning was stunned
No wonder his father’s swordplay was so powerful! No wonder his father never rode on a ranked ic treasure!
“My Immortal path is shattered I only have one opportunity to use this forbidden art again” Yichuan looked at his son “Previously, I was keeping this opportunity in abeyance for you I wanted to protect you I wanted you to hold on to er, you would shatter that jade sword, and I would immediately hurry over to you Even if you encountered a Zifu Disciple, I would have the power to rescue you For the sake of my son, it would have been worth it”
Ning’s heart was tre
So the truth was…
So the truth was, his father had been planning on this
“But you no longer need my protection” Yichuan smiled “Your mother is dead as well My Immortal path is shattered And you are an adult, now I have nothing holding me back I will not retreat, this tiht, and it will also be the lorious battle of my life If I die, I would rather die in this battle, die for the sake of the Ji clan!”
Ning stared at his father, at his father’s smile His father rarely smiled, but the sh Ning felt bitter pain in his heart, he didn’t try to dissuade his father
Of the six, five of the elders were preparing to do battle
“I…” Just as Ning spoke out
Ninefire barked, “It’s one thing for us to go risk our lives, but you, Ji Ning! You are the hope of our Ji clan! Your talent is soiven birth to before! You must continue to live!”
“Patriarch, I knohat youto hide and just watch as you risk your lives I a!”
“You…” Ninefire said, enraged
“But Patriarch, don’t worry I’m not a brash and eable, I will i looked at the Patriarch “I have a Traceless Talisine, Patriarch, you knoerful the Traceless Talisman is Once I activate it, I will instantly be able to travel to a distance of up to ten thousand kiloiven the Traceless Talis
Ninefire was stunned
The Traceless Talisman? Of course he knew that the Ji clan of the West Prefecture had this treasure He had once desired it, but the Ji clan had its rules which no one could violate
“Since that’s the case” Ninefire nodded “Fine You can coeable, you must immediately leave”
And thus, right here, within the desolateformation, the six ether, they would battle against Snowdragon Mountain
“There are only six of us” Ninefire was actually filled with a boundless on Mountain, after their S Mountain branch suffered such a loss, they will definitely invite so branches to coroup of Zifu Disciples will attack us en ht co them head on is idiocy What we need to do is to delay Thus, we must set up multiple layers of formations”
“Right Forst us in formations” Truekeep was filled with anticipation as well”
“I will set up e formations” Ninefire looked towards the other five “Leave the for to me What the rest of you need to do is co abilities, such as perhaps using souardian treasures of your respective prefectures…”
Everyone nodded
“Also!”
Ninefire lowered his head, looking into the ground “Beneath this desolate wilderness, in an area with a circumference of thousands of kilometers, there lies hidden an enor is, prior to this, nobody had ever discovered it The vein is very close to the surface, yet nobody discovered it In addition, previously, there had been such a powerful, forceful eley wave”
“Right” Ning nodded as well
