Peerless Divine Doctor

Chapter 964: 964

All three of these individuals were elders who had lived over a century and a half, dressed in simple ancient robes, with an imposing presence like a startled swan, their eyes shining with divine brilliance, emanating a supreme aura all over. The trio arrived through the air, all formidable practitioners in the Controlling Qi Realm.

In the blink of an eye, the three appeared in front of the crowd, their gaze fixed on the Goddess and the others.

”Father, Grand Elder, Second Elder!”

Seeing these three, Ji Haotian hurriedly called out.

These three were none other than the former Family Head of the Ji Family, Ji Canghai, and the Grand Elder and Second Elder of the Ji Family—all were powerhouses in the Controlling Qi Realm and also the three strongest members of the Ji Family.

”Zi Ling, take your father and step back!”

Ji Canghai glanced at Ji Haotian and spoke to Ji Ziling; the latter nodded and supported Ji Haotian as they retreated.

”Who exactly are you, and why are you targeting our Divine Sword of Xuanyuan!”

Ji Canghai scrutinized the Goddess and her group with an expression of grave seriousness.

”The Divine Sword of Xuanyuan doesn’t belong to your Ji Family. To avoid a bloodbath tonight, just hand over the Divine Sword obediently.”

The Goddess said indifferently.

For a moment, Ji Canghai, the Grand Elder, and the Second Elder fell silent, their gazes flickering continually.

The others didn’t realize that as Controlling Qi Realm powerhouses, these three could naturally sense the strength and aura of the six people before them. Excluding the woman,

three of the remaining five had reached the Ninth Level of the Spirit Sea Realm, merely a step away from the Controlling Qi Realm, while the other two were at the level of the Controlling Qi Realm.

Although they too had three Controlling Qi Realm powerhouses, they could feel that the strength and aura of the two opposing Controlling Qi Realm practitioners were stronger than theirs.

If a fight broke out, they didn’t have much chance of winning; after all, being one level apart in the Controlling Qi Realm meant a difference as vast as between heaven and earth.

However, the notion of simply handing over the Divine Sword of Xuanyuan was absolutely inconceivable. The Ji Family, as a collateral branch of the Xuanyuan Clan, had been guarding the Divine Sword through generations since they parted ways with the main Xuanyuan Clan.

Guarding the Divine Sword of Xuanyuan was their lifelong duty and mission. They would probably not hand it over to the opposition, even if it meant sacrificing themselves.

”This is a critical area in Capital City. Any battle involving Controlling Qi Realm powerhouses would be detected. Are you sure you want to take action?”

Ji Canghai’s eyes were fixed on the Goddess as he spoke.

”We’ve made arrangements for that already,”

said the Goddess. Immediately, the other five elders moved, casting dozens of top-quality Spirit Stones into the void, then started forming hand incantations.

Streams of light were infused into these Spirit Stones by the five individuals. Consequently, the Spirit Stones, positioned around the Ji Family’s residence, began shining. Then, they uttered incomprehensible phrases, and complex mystical sigils burst forth.

Boom, boom, boom!

All the Spirit Stones released soaring rays of light, merging together to form a giant dome of light that enveloped the entire Ji Family.

”A Formation?”

Seeing this, Ji Canghai’s expression changed, revealing a look of astonishment.

”You actually know how to set up formations. Who exactly are you?”

Ji Canghai asked, his eyes filled with shock as he looked at them.

”Now, no one should be able to detect us. You only have two choices: either face annihilation and we’ll find the Divine Sword ourselves, or hand over the Divine Sword willingly and I will spare the Ji Family,”

the Goddess declared coldly, her eyes gleaming intensely.

”There’s no way we will hand over the Divine Sword of Xuanyuan. It’s been a long time since I flexed my muscles. Let’s see if I’ve grown rusty!”

Ji Canghai let out a long howl, his body bursting with terrifying aura, the imposing presence of a Controlling Qi Realm practitioner on full display, like a fierce wind sweeping the sea, thunderous in its energy.

The Grand Elder and the Second Elder of the Ji Family also unleashed the might of the Controlling Qi Realm, their eyes fixed sternly on the Goddess and her associates.

The two elders in the Controlling Qi Realm who stood behind the Goddess immediately vanished from where they were.

A great battle was on the verge of breaking out.

In the villa, where he was cultivating, Ye Luo was suddenly awakened by Ao Long.

”What’s going on, Elder Ao Long?”

Ye Luo asked, somewhat puzzled.

”I’ve detected a trace of a Formation’s energy—it’s a situation, we should investigate!”

Ao Long spoke directly.

”A Formation?” Ye Luo looked stunned but did not ask further, leaving the villa in compliance with Ao Long’s guidance.

After about ten minutes, Ye Luo arrived near the Ji Family’s estate, his gaze sweeping toward the Ji Family’s direction where a terrifying surge of nature’s spiritual energy was pulsing.

”Indeed, it’s the aura of a Formation—and a first-tier one at that. There are people fighting inside.”

Ao Long spoke out loud.

A flash of surprise crossed Ye Luo’s eyes because the Formation was blocking the view, making it impossible to see what was happening inside the Ji Family’s grounds from the outside.

”Why would there suddenly be a Formation here?”

Ye Luo muttered to himself. Suddenly, a flash of golden light in his eyes dissipated, and he was able to see through the obstruction of the Formation, directly into the Ji Family’s estate.

”This...”

Ye Luo was shocked, not expecting that his eyes could see through the Formation. The last time he was in the Snow Palace, he hadn’t possessed this ability.

”My boy, your eyes are certainly remarkable, able to see directly through a Formation. Even Spiritual Sense can’t penetrate this first-tier Formation; you are quite impressive.”

Ao Long remarked when he discovered Ye Luo’s ability.

At this moment, Ye Luo could see what was happening inside the Ji Family, and his gaze sharpened as he noticed the Goddess.

”It’s her!”

Ye Luo had not expected to see this woman again, and moreover, at the Ji Family, where a battle had already begun.

”This woman really isn’t simple—she has so many powerful experts by her side.”

Ao Long suddenly said.

”Elder Ao Long, can you also see through the obstruction of this Formation?”

”I am, after all, the Dragon King of the mighty Dragon Clan. Although I’m without a physical body, my Dragon Soul remains, and a mere first-tier Formation can still be penetrated by me. However, this woman is no ordinary person; the aura of the Cultivation Technique she practices doesn’t seem to be from Earth.”

”Not from Earth? Could it be from the Martial Realm?”

”I’m not certain, but it is indeed very mysterious. Moreover, the two Controlling Qi Realm powerhouses by her side are both at the Fifth Level of the Controlling Qi Realm. The Ji Family’s strongest individual is merely at the Fifth Level of the Controlling Qi Realm, with the other two at the Fourth Level and Third Level respectively—they are simply no match for them.”

Ao Long detailed one by one.

”So, what should we do?” Ye Luo’s expression changed.

”You should stop thinking about anything else. Are you hoping for something like the daytime incident to happen again? This time, your blood may not necessarily help you. Let’s just watch for now.”

Ao Long promptly suggested.

At this moment, within the Ji Family, Ji Canghai and two others were facing off against the Goddess’s two Controlling Qi Realm powerhouses. Despite it being three against two, they were at a disadvantage.

Meanwhile, the remaining three elders slowly approached the Ji Family’s members, enveloped in a cold and grim aura, each one at the Ninth Level of the Spirit Sea Realm.
