Covering the Sky: I, Wang Teng, truly lack the bearing of an emperor.

Chapter 99 The Ji Family Makes a Concession, Pursuing Them into the Fire Domain

Lu Hao's gaze remained calm.

I was meek and submissive in the Dao Palace Secret Realm, but now that I'm in the Four Extremes Secret Realm, I'll strike hard if I'm still unhappy!
The same applies to the main body, and the same applies to the clone!
Because he was only a Dao Palace deity, his behavior was even more domineering and flamboyant!
In any case, with the special methods in the Chaotic Ancient Emperor Scripture, the aura between the main body and the Dao Palace deity can be separated. Unless an ancient sage is resurrected, even a great power or even a king would find it difficult to imagine that this is a Dao Palace deity if he observes it up close.

As for that incident on Zhuofeng Peak, it was a complete accident, unrepeatable, and will never happen again.

After the defeat, Hua Yunfei stood aside. Although he did not leave, he did not stop Lu Hao's actions either.

However, Ji Hui's expression was not good.

She and Hua Yunfei are related by blood; Hua Yunfei is considered a junior member of her maternal family. She also knows that Hua Yunfei once secretly sparred with Ji Haoyue and lost by a mere half-move.

That's why she was so shocked, even somewhat terrified, when she saw Hua Yunfei defeated by Lu Hao!
What a young boy he is!

They actually managed to defeat Hua Yunfei!
Does this mean that the other party's talent and strength are in no way inferior to Ji Haoyue, the divine body of the Ji family?
No wonder the other party was so arrogant and domineering; the Tai Xuan Sect would never allow anything to happen to this young man.

However, the anger in Ji Hui's heart was hard to extinguish!

Even if she doesn't kill the boy, she'll make him suffer!
Therefore, Ji Hui once again sent a message to the elders of the Ji family, asking them to come as soon as possible.

Soon, the elders of the Ji family arrived here in an ancient war chariot, riding through the air with great pomp and circumstance.

As soon as he arrived, he witnessed a scene that enraged him!
A group of younger disciples of the Ji family were tied up and thrown together, becoming a cushion for a boy!

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, that young man sat brazenly on the heads of the Ji family members!

How could the elders of the Ji family possibly remain calm?

What's more, his most beloved junior was also slapped twice by that boy, and his cheeks are still swollen, with blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, making him look exceptionally miserable.

Moreover, there were so many people watching!
Enraged, the elders of the Ji family were about to jump off the ancient war chariot to suppress the boy.

But then a voice rang in his ears.

The elder of the Ji family immediately calmed down. He got off the ancient war chariot and came to Lu Hao.

"Young friend, we already know the general outline of your situation. I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly and give you and your junior brother a reasonable explanation." The Ji family elder took a deep breath and transmitted his voice to Lu Hao.

It wasn't that he was afraid to make a move, but rather that he was wary of the powerful figure who might be hiding behind this little guy.

Geniuses of this caliber are often accompanied by protectors even when they go out.

"She sent people to hunt down my junior brother, forcing him into the Fire Domain. What should be done about this?" Lu Hao remained unmoved and calmly asked.

"We'll discuss this privately," the Ji family elder continued telepathically.

There were just too many people around; if this continued, the Ji family would lose face.

However, Lu Hao remained unmoved.

The elder of the Ji family gritted his teeth and immediately set up a void array to temporarily isolate himself from the prying eyes of the surrounding cultivators.

“Young friend, first release the cultivators from my Ji family, and then admit your impudence in front of everyone. We can try our best to meet your demands,” said the elder of the Ji family.

This matter is difficult to handle. If he had known earlier that the other party was a genius comparable to the Holy Son, he would not have intervened.

This not only requires maintaining the Ji family's reputation, but also dealing with the relationship with the Tai Xuan Sect. It requires choosing the most compromise possible between the two.

"My junior brother is being hunted down by the Ji family," Lu Hao said calmly.

“I know, but you also attacked the Ji family. You injured so many members of the Ji family in front of everyone. You should have vented your anger by now, right?” the Ji family elder said.

"Send someone to the Fire Domain, deep into the Fire Domain, to find my junior brother," Lu Hao said, stating his request.

The elder of the Ji family hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded. "Alright! I will send people deep into the Fire Domain to find your junior brother!"

Lu Hao nodded. "But, about the Ji family's affairs..."

"What does this have to do with me? You're the ones who are abandoning me after you've served your purpose." Lu Hao showed no mercy whatsoever.

Upon hearing Lu Hao's words, the Ji family elders' expressions changed.

"Young friend, you've gone too far. My Ji family is, after all, an ancient and powerful family!" The Ji family elder said, suppressing his anger.

He had already disregarded the fact that his junior had been beaten, as long as he could save face for the Ji family. If this kid still didn't agree, then there was nothing he could do.

"Find my junior brother first," Lu Hao said calmly. Then, he looked at Hua Yunfei, "Senior Brother Hua, you think so too, right?"

Hua Yunfei, who was deep in thought, heard Lu Hao's words and his expression changed slightly, but he still nodded.

Ultimately, the Ji family decided to send people deep into the Fire Domain to find Ye Fan.

Ji Ziyue volunteered, but was rejected outright by the Ji family and Lu Hao.

"We haven't found the third brother yet. What if you get trapped in the Fire Domain again?" Lu Hao asked.

In the end, Ji Ziyue was left behind, while Ji Hui was specifically chosen by Lu Hao to venture deeper into the Fire Domain together.

Ji Hui's face turned ugly, and she wanted to lash out, but faced with Lu Hao's calm eyes, she finally nodded in humiliation.

The elders of the Ji family personally drove the ancient war chariot, leading Lu Hao, Ji Huihua, Yun Fei, and some members of the Ji family to the Fire Domain.

Returning to this familiar place, Lu Hao still felt a mix of emotions.

It was here that he broke through the Dao Palace Secret Realm and unlocked his Heart's Divine Treasury.

Then he made great strides forward. Although his cultivation level lagged behind the Eastern Wilderness prodigies for a period of time, his strength never stagnated.

He is now at the first minor realm of the Four Extremes Secret Realm, yet he is able to defeat Hua Yunfei with a Dao Palace deity.

Hua Yunfei is slightly weaker than Ji Haoyue, so Lu Hao now possesses the power of one Ji – one Kun.

Without going into too much detail, it's more than enough for traveling the Eastern Wilderness.

Outside the Fire Domain, under the watchful eyes of Lu Hao and the elders of the Ji family, the younger generation of Ji family disciples gritted their teeth and entered the first level of the Fire Domain.

They could still endure the flames here, and then they pretended to start searching.

Lu Hao didn't say anything, just calmly looked at Ji Hui.

Ji Hui felt a chill run down her spine and was forced to go deeper, entering the second level.

However, Lu Hao remained by her side, his gaze calm.

Ji Hui originally intended to just search the second floor, but the boy followed her and kept staring at her. Forced by circumstances, she had no choice but to go deeper into the second floor!
She was only in the Four Extremes Secret Realm. The first two levels were no problem for her, but the third level was a bit torturous.

Lu Hao didn't go any deeper; he just followed Ji Hui to prevent the old hag from escaping back to the second level.

The elder of the Ji family stood outside the Fire Domain with a complicated expression. He hadn't wanted to come, but if he hadn't, and Lu Hao hadn't spoken up, the Ji family would have lost face. This time, it was a way to give both sides a way out.

As for the rest, once we find the boy and calm him down, we can talk to him slowly.

Matters involving the top geniuses of two major sects are always difficult to handle unless the younger generation deals with them themselves, as long as the elders get involved. Even if the other party acts more domineeringly, an elder cannot simply take action to violently suppress a junior, as that would only escalate the conflict.

However, such a commotion in the Fire Domain caught the attention of the boy deep within it.

"The Ji family is truly ruthless! They're still pursuing me so deeply even after all this time; they're trying to force me to my death!"
