"Although the Ji Family and the Kun Family have conflicts, they wouldn't act so ruthlessly! It must be the work of other forces!" someone speculated.
The crowd buzzed with discussion, and an atmosphere of terror spread throughout the courtyard.
At this moment, a figure rushed over from afar— a middle-aged man with an imposing demeanor, none other than Ji Hongli, the Patriarch of the Ji Family's branch in Desolate Ancient City, with a Mid-Stage Void Refining cultivation, and Elder Ku's brother.
"What exactly happened?" Ji Hongli appeared in the courtyard, his gaze sweeping over everyone.
Ji Chen immediately stepped forward to report. After hearing the news and confirming the Soul Lamp, Ji Hongli's expression changed drastically, his face turning as dark as water could drip from it.
"Such audacity! How dare they target our Ji Family! Send someone to inform the main family at once, and begin investigating this matter immediately!" Ji Hongli ordered sternly.
