Ch 682: Not Qualified To Board
“These few people’s identities are unknown; they do not have the qualification to board.”
Ji Hongguang looked at Li Hanzhou and the others with an extremely cold gaze, saying without hesitation.
Upon saying this.
Xu Pengyun and the other two, who had just stepped onto the stairs extending from the flying boat, suddenly stiffened.
The joyful expressions on Xu Pengyun and the others’ faces instantly vanished, replaced by a hint of embarrassment.
They hadn’t expected that they were about to excitedly board the boat, only to be rejected the very next moment.
Moreover, the person who rejected them was not only a Ji Mansion person, but judging from the aura emanating from him, he was also a Divine Transformation Stage Cultivator.
He was not someone they could afford to offend.
“Senior, these few are from Yuanyang Sect, and they are also going to enter the Secret Realm. Moreover, if it weren’t for them, the three of us martial sisters wouldn’t have escaped from the Demons’ siege…”
Seeing this, Ye Hongyun and the others were momentarily stunned.
Originally, they wanted to let Li Hanzhou and the others board the boat together, which would also be a way to repay Li Hanzhou for his help to them earlier.
They hadn’t expected that Ji Hongguang would directly refuse.
However, the three of them immediately reacted and explained Li Hanzhou and the others’ identities and what happened earlier.
Ji Mansion and their Yaohua Immortal Sect are both Major Sects. She understands having a Precautionary Mind, but now that everything has been explained, and Li Hanzhou’s identity isn’t suspicious, surely Ji Hongguang won’t stop them anymore.
However, to their surprise.
Ji Hongguang still shook his head coldly, looking at Li Hanzhou and the others with a slightly sarcastic tone: “My Ji Mansion’s boat isn’t something just any cats and dogs can get on.”
Then, his tone softened slightly, and he continued to speak to Ye Hongyun and the others.
“You young ladies are still too young, and you haven’t experienced enough. You don’t know how many Human Face, Beast Heart people there are in this world, how vicious the Human Heart truly is.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Pengyun and the others’ expressions instantly froze.
They thought that Ye Hongyun speaking up for them would allow them to board, but they hadn’t expected that he would still refuse.
Moreover, from the sound of it, they weren’t considered good people?
But facing the Ji Mansion people, they could only secretly clench their fists, not daring to utter a word of rebuttal.
A colossus like Ji Mansion was simply not something they could provoke.
“But Senior…”
Ye Hongyun and the others were slightly stunned. They hadn’t expected Ji Hongguang to view Li Hanzhou and the others in this way. Just as they were about to say something nice for Li Hanzhou and the others,
Li Hanzhou took the lead and said: “Thank you for your kindness, young ladies. We’ll take our leave.”
After saying that, he turned and left.
He could see that Ji Hongguang was simply deliberately making things difficult for him.
No matter how much Ye Hongyun and the others persuaded him, he definitely wouldn’t be able to board the boat.
Since that was the case, why continue to stand here? It would be better to hurry on the road and arrive at the Secret Realm earlier.
Seeing Li Hanzhou leave, Xu Pengyun and the others didn’t hesitate and followed him.
However, there was a hint of doubt in their hearts.
Clearly, there was no relationship between their Yuanyang Sect and Ji Mansion, and this was their first time meeting Ji Hongguang, yet they felt that this Divine Transformation Stage Cultivator had hostility towards them.
“Senior…”
Looking at Li Hanzhou’s departing figure, Ye Hongyun and the others’ expressions also became somewhat hesitant.
They were hesitating whether to stay on the Ji Mansion’s boat or follow Li Hanzhou.
“The three of you should stay on my Ji Mansion’s boat. You can rest assured on the boat; you don’t have to worry about encountering any danger.”
Ji Hongguang looked at Ye Hongyun and the others, suppressed his anger, and said with a slight smile.
“Then thank you, Senior.”
Ye Hongyun and the others reacted, offered their thanks, and finally boarded the Ji Mansion’s boat.
Ji Hongguang narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction where Li Hanzhou and the others had gone, muttering: “To think I’d run into you here. It seems Heaven is helping me!”
After such a long time, he still hadn’t been able to find Li Hanzhou.
He had almost given up, but to actually run into Li Hanzhou here was a pleasant surprise.
Above the Five-Colored Auspicious Cloud.
Li Hanzhou and the others stood on it. Under Xu Pengyun’s full power, the Five-Colored Auspicious Cloud instantly transformed into a stream of flowing light, falling like a meteor across the Sky Dome.
Since they couldn’t board the boat, they could only continue traveling on the Five-Colored Auspicious Cloud.
The Demon Sealing Sea was extremely dangerous. In less than a day, they had encountered several problems.
Therefore, Xu Pengyun wanted to arrive at the Secret Realm as soon as possible.
Many people from other Sects must have gathered there already. As long as they reached there, with so many people around, they certainly wouldn’t encounter any more danger.
However, after the Five-Colored Auspicious Cloud flew tens of thousands of miles.
Li Hanzhou, who had been gazing at the scenery ahead, suddenly turned around and looked behind him.
“Senior, what’s wrong?”
Seeing this, Xu Pengyun and the others also turned around with puzzled faces.
They saw a small flying boat, rapidly chasing after them.
In less than five breaths, the flying boat easily caught up with them and hovered in front of them.
“That’s… the Ji Mansion’s Strong Person from before!”
At the same time, Xu Pengyun and the others also saw Ji Hongguang standing on the flying boat.
A look of bewilderment appeared on their faces.
Why did this Ji Mansion Strong Person suddenly chase after them? Could it be that he regretted it and wanted to invite them onto the boat again?
The moment this thought arose in their minds, they immediately dismissed it.
Because that was absolutely impossible.
Ji Hongguang’s words had been so harsh just now; how could he be so kind now?
For some reason, a bad feeling arose in their hearts.
When Li Hanzhou saw the flying boat, he immediately understood that it was Ji Hongguang.
The Emperor Soul Pill was something Ji Hongguang had been plotting for nearly a thousand years; how could he just give it up?
As expected.
The next moment, Ji Hongguang took a step forward, directly arriving in front of everyone, his face furious as he said: “You are incredibly audacious! You dare to steal my Ji Mansion’s Treasure!”
“What Treasure?”
Hearing this, Xu Pengyun and the others were completely confused and didn’t understand what Ji Hongguang meant.
“Still pretending.”
Ji Hongguang sneered and said, “After you left, a Treasure mysteriously disappeared from my Ji Mansion’s boat. Only you were near my boat just now. If you didn’t steal it, who else could have?”
“What?!”
Upon hearing this, Xu Pengyun and the others’ faces instantly flushed red.
“We didn’t even touch the boat, how could it be us who stole it?”
“You’re simply framing us! Although our Yuanyang Sect is just a small Sect, we would never do such a despicable thing!”
“…”
