Chapter 297: Ji Wuling

"What do you think?" Li Xiaojun asked Wuling with a smile.

Hearing Li Xiaojun’s words, Wuling felt quite confident that he was a member of the Human Race.

So she hurriedly cupped her hands and greeted him, "I am Ji Wuling, paying my respects to you, senior."

"No need for such formalities," Li Xiaojun waved his hand and then asked Wuling, "Since you are mid Profound Immortal, you must be from the Elders’ Council of the Human Race, right?"

"Yes," Wuling nodded at Li Xiaojun.

Before Li Xiaojun could speak again, she quickly inquired, "May I ask for your esteemed name?"

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaojun chuckled and replied, "Oh, I’m just an unnamed nobody. I don’t know if you know Wen Qinglan? Oh, that’s Master Qingfeng."

"Master Qingfeng, are you referring to the same Master Qingfeng?" Ji Wuling asked Li Xiaojun.

"Yes, she broke through to the Profound Immortal realm over two hundred years ago, and she should now be called Master Qingfeng," Li Xiaojun confirmed with a nod.

"May I ask what your relationship with Master Qingfeng is?" Ji Wuling asked eagerly.

"Wen Qinglan, she is my woman," Li Xiaojun said with a smile.

Wuling’s eyes widened with surprise at Li Xiaojun’s words.

"Could it be that you are the partner who ascended with Master Qingfeng five hundred thousand years ago?" Ji Wuling inquired.

"No, I just mean she is my woman, whom I forced to be my woman," Li Xiaojun explained with a laugh.

Hearing this, Ji Wuling was left speechless.

"Are you the one who ambushed the Heavenly Tiger Tribe’s small world?" Ji Wuling shifted the topic and asked Li Xiaojun.

"Yes, who bought that small world now?" Li Xiaojun asked Ji Wuling.

Upon hearing this, Ji Wuling quickly replied, "Senior, the small world you acquired from the Heavenly Tiger Tribe is now mainly used by the Elders’ Council for cultivating resources…"

"Oh…" Li Xiaojun nodded.

"Senior, Master Qingfeng said you are a Golden Immortal, are you truly a Golden Immortal?" Ji Wuling asked Li Xiaojun.

At this question, Li Xiaojun did not answer directly but released the divine sense pressure of a Golden Immortal.

Feeling Li Xiaojun’s Golden Immortal pressure, Ji Wuling was immediately astonished and then her face lit up with joy.

"Senior, I didn’t expect you to truly be a Golden Immortal; this is amazing! With your presence, the situation for our Human Race will change soon…"

Ji Wuling was filled with excitement.

Because, finally, the Human Race had a Golden Immortal powerhouse.

With a Golden Immortal in the Human Race, it meant that no beast tribe would dare to target humans like before.

If a beast tribe were to target the Human Race, the Golden Immortal of the Human Race could retaliate fiercely.

A Golden Immortal could easily cause a race to decline and force them into a life of hiding.

The Human Race had been targeted by the beast tribes, which was why they had to hide and evade.

Now that the Human Race had a Golden Immortal, no beast tribe would dare to continue their attacks.

Therefore, with a Golden Immortal, the Human Race’s position and circumstances in the Immortal Realm would soon change for the better.

Such a situation made Ji Wuling excited.

"Don’t be too happy too soon. Although I am a Golden Immortal, I won’t risk my life for the Human Race," Li Xiaojun said lightly to Ji Wuling.

He felt no sense of belonging to the Human Race in the Immortal Realm.

If it came to sacrificing large benefits to save the Human Race in the Immortal Realm, he would choose to protect his own interests without hesitation.

Hearing Li Xiaojun’s words, Ji Wuling felt there was nothing unusual, as they had no reason to expect a Golden Immortal stronghold to selflessly help them.

However, they just needed to let the beast tribe know that the Human Race had a Golden Immortal stronghold, and that would be enough.

"Senior, I plan to report your situation to the higher-ups. Is that alright?" Ji Wuling asked Li Xiaojun.

"Do as you wish," Li Xiaojun waved his hand, not opposing her.

Upon hearing Li Xiaojun’s words, Ji Wuling quickly reported the situation to the Elders’ Council.

In various places of the Immortal Realm.

When many Profound Immortal strongholds saw Ji Wuling’s message, they almost dropped their jaws in shock.

They never expected that what Master Qingfeng said was true; the Human Race truly had a Golden Immortal stronghold.

"Wuling, did you find out from the senior who is undergoing the Golden Immortal tribulation?" someone asked Ji Wuling.

Seeing this message, Ji Wuling suddenly realized she had forgotten the purpose of entering the Tribulation Area.

So she hurriedly asked Li Xiaojun, "Senior, do you know who is undergoing the Golden Immortal tribulation? Why are you personally protecting him?"

Hearing this, Li Xiaojun replied lightly, "The one undergoing tribulation is Mo Qianqiu. I don’t know if you recognize him."

"Mo Qianqiu? I feel like I’ve heard that name somewhere before, but I’m not quite sure," Ji Wuling pondered.

After thinking for a moment, she asked Li Xiaojun, "Is he a senior of our Human Race?"

"Of course, otherwise why would I protect him?" Li Xiaojun said lightly.

"I don’t remember this name; others might know. I’ll ask around."

Soon, Ji Wuling reported that the person undergoing tribulation was Mo Qianqiu.

"Mo Qianqiu…"

When they saw this name, many long-lived members of the Elders’ Council immediately recognized who it was.

Only those who had just broken through to the Profound Immortal realm might not know this name.

However, soon someone explained the situation of Mo Qianqiu.

"Mo Qianqiu, a senior of the Human Race who disappeared thirty million years ago. We all thought he had died, but it turns out he is still alive."

"What’s more surprising is that he is undergoing the Golden Immortal tribulation! This is wonderful…"

"If he succeeds in the tribulation, our Human Race will have two Golden Immortal strongholds…"

Hearing that Mo Qianqiu was undergoing tribulation, many people began to speak up in the group chat, and their excitement was palpable.

However, at that moment, a member of the Elders’ Council said lightly, "If I remember correctly, after Elder Mo disappeared, his small world and daughter were taken by Master Du Ze, right? Master Du Ze, what do you think?"

Hearing this, the group chat fell silent.

After a long pause, a voice finally spoke up.

"I will personally apologize to my father-in-law. If my father-in-law wants to kill me to relieve his hatred, I willingly accept punishment."

"Shameless, truly shameless."

Seeing this message, some could not help but scoff.

"Master Du Ze, I know you have always been indifferent to Elder Mo’s daughter…"

"Don’t say that. I have always cared for Mo Qianqiu. Besides, this is our family matter. Everyone, please refrain from discussing it to avoid affecting my relationship with my father-in-law…"

"And no matter what, he will always be my father-in-law…"

Upon hearing this, others fell silent.

Master Du Ze was right; no matter what, Mo Qianqiu was Mo Qianqiu’s father, and Master Du Ze was Mo Qianqiu’s man.

If they tried to stir up trouble, what if Mo Qianqiu acknowledged this son-in-law? Wouldn’t they be in trouble?

While many were discussing Mo Qianqiu,

Ji Wuling was privately communicating with Wen Qinglan.

As both were members of the Elders’ Council and women, they had been quite close before.

Now that she learned that Wen Qinglan was Li Xiaojun’s woman, Ji Wuling naturally hoped to strengthen their relationship.

Of course, in reality, Ji Wuling was engaging with Li Xiaojun.

After all, it would be too foolish not to ingratiate herself with such a powerful presence right in front of her.
