Ji's family had chosen to keep a closely guarded secret, refraining from informing anyone about their capture of Angel, Jayson's adopted daughter. They made sure not to recall the search forces they had dispatched to find Jayson, fearing that it would raise suspicions from the Rock Sect and the Joy Sect.Within the Ji family's city, stringent security measures were in place, overseen by their most formidable experts. Even the location where Angel was being held hostage was impervious to any intrusions, with every movement meticulously monitored.Unbeknownst to the Ji family, who had stationed numerous elders to guard the city gates, Jayson had already infiltrated beyond their defences. The formidable defensive formation proved futile against the prowess of the Monkey Lord; it was no surprise considering his unparalleled mastery of spatial spells, setting a record in history.In the form of a little boy, Jayson discreetly scoured every corner of the city, observing as the once-bustling
Confusion gripped the gathered members of the Ji family as they observed the sudden appearance of another Ji family patriarch. Moments earlier, they had witnessed the family patriarch enter a secret passage.The new Ji family patriarch's expression turned grim as he noticed the silent stares directed towards him. He demanded, "What is the meaning of this? Why is everyone looking at me like that?"It was one of the elders of the Ji family who mustered the courage to voice the question lingering in everyone's mind. "Grandfather, forgive our confusion, but we just saw you enter the secret passageway. We didn't see you coming out"Perplexed by their inquiry, the Ji family patriarch responded, "I'm afraid I don't understand what you're talking about. I haven't been near any secret passageway."One of the younger generations of the Ji family stepped forward and divulged everything. The patriarch of the Ji family erupted in anger and scolded, "You all are incredibly foolish! How could you no
Jayson's words left Angel speechless, and with each passing moment, he felt more like a stranger to her. She couldn't help but stare at him, trying to make sense of the situation."Why are you looking at me like that? Have you fallen head over heels for my handsome face?" Jayson boasted, his chest puffed out with pride.Blushing, Angel quickly averted her gaze and focused on picking up a piece of roasted goat meat from her plate. Meanwhile, back in Ji City, the Ji family patriarch had mobilized half of the city's population in a desperate search for Jayson. The entire Ji family was in a frenzy, extending their efforts beyond the city limits. The absence of such a large number of people left Ji City vulnerable, surprising both the Rock Sect and the Joy Sect.As the first light of dawn broke, the Ji family patriarch and his search party scoured the surrounding towns, villages, and cities in hopes of finding any trace of Jayson.The Ji family's actions had raised alarm within the Rock S
The news of Jayson's appearance in Rock City caused a major commotion. When it was announced that the Ji family and the Joy Sect were heading to Rock City to reclaim their treasures, cultivators from all around eagerly flocked to witness the spectacle. Upon hearing that Jayson was in Rock City, which was only a few kilometers away from Rock Sect, the first Elder of the sect grew increasingly anxious and restless. He couldn't sit still and began patrolling the treasury vaults and weapon stores throughout the sect. Saint Kun observed the sect master flying over the mountain where he resided. He pursed his lips tightly, lost in deep contemplation. His disciple, standing beside him, couldn't help but ask, "Do you also think the first Elder has been obsessed lately?" Saint Kun withdrew his gaze and shrugged his shoulders indifferently before continuing his descent down the mountain. "Are you still determined to sneak out of the sect, despite the sect master's prohibition on leaving?" The
With a concerned tone, the auction master suggested, "Perhaps it would be wise to return the spirit stones to them. Continuing to offend them will make it impossible for you to escape the city. Why not take a step back?"Jayson couldn't help but roll his eyes. It seemed that regardless of whether he offended them or not, his life was already in danger. Dismissing the suggestion, he replied, "Hall Master, there's no need for you to worry about me. I'm not running a charity here. If they can't afford to buy my treasures, they should forget about it. There are plenty of other potential buyers willing to purchase them. Each item will start at one million spirit stones, and the price can only be raised by five hundred thousand spirit stones."The hall master's expression stiffened upon hearing the amount Jayson intended to auction off all the treasures. He let out a sigh of pity. In all his thousands of years running the immortal auction hall, he had never encountered a merchant as ruthles
"Sect Master!" The elders and disciples of the Joy Sect called out anxiously, their voices filled with concern, as they witnessed the weakened state of their Sect Master. Sensing the urgency, a nearby elder stepped forward and supported the Sect Master, infusing him with his own spirit qi to help him regain his composure. With great effort, the Sect Master managed to take a pill to restore his vitality before settling into a state of deep meditation.Emerging from his meditation, the Sect Master's eyes widened in disbelief as he witnessed the fervent bidding taking place for one of the Joy Sect's precious heritages. Anger threatened to consume him, but he took a long, steadying breath and suppressed his emotions. He knew that attempting to snatch back the auctioned item would prove fruitless, given the caliber of the buyers and their influential backers."Summon those who have acquired our sect relics," the Sect Master commanded the elder seated beside him, his voice firm yet tinged w
Jayson's grin stretched wider as the staff of the renowned Immortal Auction Hall handed him a storage ring. Eagerly, he peered into the ring with his divine sense, only to be momentarily blinded by the breathtaking sight of countless spirit stones that filled it.Expressing his gratitude, Jayson clasped his hands together and bowed deeply to the hall master. "I am immensely grateful for your assistance. Without your guidance and support, I would not have been able to sell my items so smoothly."The master of the auction hall shook his head modestly, dismissing Jayson's thanks. "There's no need for gratitude. We are merely conducting business, fulfilling our purpose."Jayson nodded, understanding that the Immortal Auction Hall had no intention of provoking the powerful Joy Sect and Ji Family. After exchanging a few more pleasantries with the auction hall master, he departed from the private room, accompanied by Angel.However, as they emerged from the building of the auction hall, Jays
The first elder of the Rock sect seethed with anger as he sent the disciple who had come to report the theft flying with a powerful slap. Frustration overwhelmed him, and he looked up to the sky, unleashing a roar of exasperation. "Argh!"Confusion swept over the disciples and elders who had been attacking the supposed thief moments ago. The realization struck them simultaneously: "There's no way the real first elder would steal from the sect warehouse, right?"Instantly, regret washed over them, and they fell to their knees, speaking in unison, "We apologize, first elder."The first elder's body trembled with fury, his anger reaching its peak. He had never anticipated that there were so many foolish individuals within the sect."Go and capture that thief!" he bellowed, consumed by rage.In a frenzy, all the disciples and elders scoured the sect, ransacking every corner in their relentless pursuit of Jayson.Meanwhile, Jayson, the very person they were searching for, grinned from ear
