Chapter 2178 Who are you?
Seeing that the two men wanted to leave, Hong Zun naturally tried his best to stop them.
However, the gap in strength is there after all, and the previous attack has already caused him further injuries.
Just as he was about to step forward, a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth. Coupled with his injuries, the side effects of the secret technique broke out prematurely.
It can be said that a single move affects the entire body. Even though he was unwilling, Hong Zun only felt dizzy.
He stretched his right hand forward desperately, as if he wanted to catch the two thieves and save Xu Jie, but no matter how hard he tried, his body seemed to be out of control.
Moreover, the scene in front of my eyes quickly turned dark, my eyelids became heavier, and my meridians felt extremely painful.
"Stop, you thief! Give me back my disciple..."
At the last moment, Hong Zun kept murmuring these words, but his body had already lost consciousness and fell from the sky, landing heavily in the forest below.
Xu Jie was taken by several people and transported back to Wuji Immortal City as soon as possible.
As soon as he arrived at the Wuji Immortal City, he was directly locked in a secret room filled with formations and heavily guarded.
That’s not all. The leader of the Li family also arranged dozens of clansmen around the area, guarding the place strictly in three layers inside and outside.
"Watch carefully, don't let him get away."
"Yes."
"We can't let him die."
"Yes."
Even committing suicide was not allowed. After explaining all this, the man left in a hurry to report to the ancestor.
It was still the same cave, with the two ancestors of the Li family sitting in the middle, and below them was the previous member of the Li family.
He was just a deacon of the Li family, so he was naturally very excited about his great achievement.
With this kind of achievement, perhaps the position of elder is no longer just a dream.
So, after he told the truth respectfully, he waited for the response from the two ancestors.
After a moment's silence, one of the ancestors frowned.
"Are you sure that the person you caught was Xu Jie?"
Ok? ? ?
After hearing this, the Li family steward was stunned, but still spoke with his head down.
"Replying to the ancestor, I heard his master call him Xu Jie with my own ears, so it shouldn't be wrong."
This was the main basis for him to confirm Xu Jie's identity, but the two ancestors murmured strangely about this.
"That's strange, how come he is only at the Emperor Realm?"
According to intelligence, Xu Jie is a monstrous being. If he is a genius, how could he only have the cultivation level of an emperor? This is absolutely impossible.
The Emperor Realm, among the younger generation in the fairy world, is not even a genius, let alone a monster. He is just ordinary.
It is precisely because of this mismatch in cultivation that the two ancestors began to doubt Xu Jie's identity.
In response to this, the Li family steward began to explain.
"Hong Yun from the Hong family said before that Xu Jie is meticulous and cautious, especially when it comes to hiding his cultivation. I think he has practiced some secret method to conceal his aura, so he is like this..."
Conceal your breath?
The two ancestors did not refute this, but they did not agree with it either.
Even if he is proficient in the art of concealment, given their level of cultivation, they should not be able to see any clues.
When Xu Jie was just brought into the City Lord's Mansion, the two ancestors used their spiritual sense to carefully scan Xu Jie.
No matter how you look at it, it's clear that he is at the Emperor level.
It was really strange, but based on the principle of rather killing the wrong person than letting the criminal go, the old ancestor who spoke still spoke slowly.
"Forget it. I will go and check it out myself to confirm the identity of this person first. Also, you go and bring Hong Yun to the secret room and let him confirm the identity of this person himself."
In Lingtai Cave, Hong Yun had seen "Xu Jie" with his own eyes and had even fought with him. If he came to confirm it personally, everything would naturally become clear.
Although the Hong family had many complaints about the Lingtai Cave incident, there was no other way at the moment.
We can only give some benefits to the Hong family after the matter is over.
Hearing the ancestor's order, the deacon nodded respectfully. At the same time, the ancestor on the throne slowly dissipated, and in the blink of an eye he disappeared from the spot without a trace.
In the secret room, the old ancestor appeared and the Li family members who were in charge of guarding bowed to him.
Nodding slightly, the old ancestor went straight into the secret room without further ado.
Inside the secret room, Xu Jie was seen taking healing pills. His injuries had recovered a little and at least his life was no longer in danger.
But the whole person still looks a bit miserable.
After looking Xu Jie up and down, he didn't look like he had any hidden skills. He was just an ant at the Emperor level.
However, the old ancestor still asked in a deep voice.
"Are you Xu Jie?"
Hearing this, Xu Jie looked up at the old ancestor. He already knew where he was. Xu Jie did not show any sign of weakness and instead sneered with disdain.
"Bah, your grandfather's name is Xu Jie. If you want to kill me, come and chop me up."
In the sect, Xu Jie might be a thief and a profiteer.
He always takes advantage of any opportunity and won't suffer any loss.
But when facing the enemy, Xu Jie is definitely not the kind of person who is afraid of death. He would rather die than betray the spirit of Daoyi Immortal Sect.
In response to Xu Jie's attitude, the old ancestor simply pointed a finger lightly, and then a stream of spiritual power flowed into his body.
This spiritual power was powerful and moved violently within Xu Jie's body. The intense pain made Xu Jie unable to help but let out a series of low growls that he tried hard to conceal.
He clenched his teeth tightly, but the severe pain still made him unable to help but make a sound.
This is not only a punishment for Xu Jie, but also a way to determine the boy's true level of cultivation.
But as this spiritual power circulated in Xu Jie's body, the old ancestor's brows were tightly furrowed.
This boy has reached the level of Emperor Venerable, that’s right.
Since I have done it personally, there must be no problem with the test, the old ancestor looked at Xu Jie with a dark face and asked coldly.
"Are you Xu Jie?"
"Oh, I told you it's your Grandpa Xu."
The tortured man was pale and his whole body was like a puddle of mud. However, because his hands were tied with iron chains and hung in the air, his hair was disheveled and blood mixed with saliva kept flowing out of his mouth.
However, even so, Xu Jie still did not show any sign of weakness, let alone begging for mercy.
After spitting out a mouthful of blood, Xu Jie raised his head with difficulty and looked at the ancestor of the Li family. There was no fear in his eyes and a sneer on the corner of his mouth.
In the secret room, the old man and the young man looked at each other. After staring at each other for a few breaths, the old ancestor of the Li family said with a gradually cold expression.
"You are not Xu Jie."
Xu Jie is a demon. Have you ever seen a demon at this age who has only the cultivation level of an emperor?
With the physique and talent of those monsters, even if you work hard for three days and rest for two days, it is impossible for you to be only at the Emperor Realm when you reach Xu Jie's age.
Therefore, this kid must be an imposter.
