Above all spirits

Chapter 68 Ordinary Peak Holy Body

The shadowy figures in the lobby gradually lost their illusory outlines.

Until it was completely revealed to everyone.

Dressed in black with black hair.

Scarlet eyes.

His demeanor was extraordinary.

Cold and ruthless.

"Since everyone is being so polite and feels embarrassed to call me by my first name, then you can use a respectful title from now on."

"I do not mind."

Accompanying the rise and fall of his voice was an immense sense of oppression forcibly imposed from the outside.

It pressed down on everyone's backs like a giant mountain with no visible peak.

I want to speak out and refute, to shout out.

But then an invisible hand grabbed his neck tightly.

This.

This is the current situation for everyone in the lobby.

Even experts at the Saint Body level cannot avoid it.

This includes Ji Xiao, whose cultivation level is as high as the ninth stage of the Holy Body.

After all, Gu Yun's Saint Body Peak is no ordinary one.

Although it was weakened, it was still genuine innate energy.

Needless to say.

This is a sense of oppression that comes from an innate level.

Everyone: If you can't play, you don't have to. Are we the ones who don't want to talk?! If you don't want us to call you by your name, just say so!

However, Ji Xiao's moment of distraction did not last long.

I reckon it'll only take a breath or two.

This broke the deathly silence that had been forcibly rewritten by Gu Yun's arrival.

After all, she was able to oversee the entire Ji family.

In fact, strength, temperament, and wisdom are all indispensable.

With a wave of his hand, Ji Xiao unleashed a stream of pale purple energy that dispelled the invisible shackles binding everyone.

Gu Yun narrowed his eyes slightly.

This head of the Ji family is indeed quite something.

To be able to so easily break free from the influence of one's innate constitution.

and.

Unlike the blood-red color of ordinary saintly aura, it symbolizes the color of blood and qi.

Ji Xiao's saintly aura is pale purple.

When the aura of a saint appears in this unique color.

There are only two possibilities.

One possibility is that certain extremely special cultivation methods cause the color of the qi to change according to the cultivation method.

Another interpretation is that this person has already touched upon or seen that barrier.

An innate barrier!

Thus, it has begun to gradually transform into innate energy.

The color of one's innate energy is different for each person. It is a color that is most suitable for each individual, which is produced by the combination of various factors such as one's physical condition, cultivation method, and temperament.

Conversely, one can indirectly perceive a person's personality and style of conduct from the color and aura of their innate energy.

As for Ji Xiao, Gu Yun believed the latter more.

For any family capable of maneuvering against the royal family, it's safe to assume that the head of the family or clan leader possesses considerable power, within reasonable limits.

A pale purple aura of sainthood.

Therefore, Ji Xiao's innate energy is most likely purple.

That's quite intriguing.

Because the meaning behind purple is, frankly speaking, almost identical to that of Gu Yun's gold.

Both are colors associated with emperors.

Although I don't know in what aspects they differ.

But one thing is for sure.

emperor.

Never assume that he would be content to be subservient to others.

Follow orders.

Such entities can only form alliances and cooperate.

Ji Xiao seemed to have grasped this as well, and laughed heartily.

"Brother Gu, hahaha, you don't mind if I call you Brother Gu, do you?"

"We've been waiting for you. Come, have a seat."

He then gestured to the empty seat next to him.

Gu Yun didn't stand on ceremony. He vanished into thin air in a flash and reappeared sitting steadily next to Ji Xiao.

Ji Ning must have already relayed and explained his situation.

Based on the strength of his father, Ji Xiao.

You can tell if it's real or fake just by looking at it.

Now the truth and falsehood have been distinguished.

Then there's no need for further probing.

Otherwise, it will only cause dissatisfaction from the other party.

Although Ji Xiao had neutralized and dissipated the invisible pressure from Gu Yun's peak Saint Body.

To liberate everyone from their cages.

Ji Yuntao's knees also benefited from this and began to slowly recover.

However, it cannot eliminate the lasting effects caused by those few breaths.

They couldn't even piece together the shattered map of Ji Yuntao's dignity.

However, the white-haired old man's spine was successfully reattached.

After all, he had become more accepting of most things after failing to break through to the Holy Body back then.

For example, Gu Yun's dissatisfaction stemmed from the fact that the wait had been a bit long.

Now that he had demonstrated his strength, the old man naturally wouldn't say anything more.

after all.

You can choose not to befriend a demon, but you also can't let him hate you excessively.

Moreover, as long as Ji Yuntao is at the eighth level of the Sacred Body, even if his cultivation never improves by another 3 points in his lifetime, he can still enjoy the benefits it brings.

That was enough for him.

At most, people will gossip about it behind my back.

Seeing that the Ji family elders sitting on both sides did not make any trouble at this moment, Ji Xiao breathed a slight sigh of relief.

They are all people who understand the bigger picture and know how to behave appropriately.

If they continue to attack Gu Yun without considering the consequences...

I'm afraid I really won't be able to explain myself to them.

Gu Yun picked up the teapot that had already been brewed and took a sip.

“I don’t mind, but Uncle Xiao, I feel awkward calling you Brother Gu. I’m really not that old. You can just call me Gu Yun.”

"Different from them."

As he spoke, he looked around at the people sitting below through his red eyes.

An irresistible chill pierced everyone's heart.

All those who made eye contact with Gu Yun either lowered their heads to drink tea or glanced sideways in deep thought.

I dare not express any opinion.

It's as if if I say anything, I'll be the next one to get a broken knee.

Upon hearing this, Ji Xiao's eyes trembled slightly. Even though he had been reassured, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he first heard this.

Given his status and position, he must have come into contact with a great many gods and demons.

But the feeling Gu Yun gave him was unlike anything he had ever experienced before.

Just as Ji Ning said.

Gu Yun's words and actions were more like those of a "person".

This feeling can't be faked.

Gu Yun continued.

He did not interrupt his speech because of Ji Xiao's slight emotional fluctuations.

"The main reason I'm here today is to hear about the Ji family's future plans and intentions."

"I will decide whether to abandon or cooperate based on your response."

Ji Xiao nodded; all of this had been agreed upon in advance.

At the same time, he also bluntly asked the most crucial question.

Although he almost completely ignored the discussions made by the clan elders or others.

However, one thing must be acknowledged.

Because this is a prerequisite for cooperation.

“Okay, Gu Yun, although Ning’er has already told me, I still want to confirm it.”

"Are you sure that if we cooperate with you, what we need to give up won't be our souls?"

"Because in my understanding, the fundamental reason why gods and demons come to this world is to take souls."

"This is the bottom line for our cooperation."

The Ji family will never sell the soul of any of its members.

Gu Yun nodded patiently and said.

"Naturally, the soul is readily available to me, so there's no need for such trouble."

"Uncle Xiao, and all of you, just treat me as an ordinary peak Saint Body cultivator."

Ji Xiao: ...

Ji family members: ...
