In a small inn in Baiyang City, twelve figures were seated in a room.

Among these twelve figures, the leader was an elderly man who exuded a terrifying aura.

This elderly man was named Ji Bosang, the fifth elder of the Ji family, with a cultivation level of the seventh layer of the Supreme Realm. He was also one of the law enforcement elders of the Ji family, known for his strict impartiality! After Ji Wuchang was discovered by the Ji family, the family presented three attitudes.

The first attitude was indifference, believing that if he could reach a cultivation level above the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm in the future, he could be brought back to the Ji family.

The second attitude was to bring him back immediately, as he was the only bloodline of the clan leader, and could be crowned as the young clan leader.

The third attitude was that he could return, but due to the Li family's bloodline, he must undergo the most stringent assessment, and only upon passing could he be crowned as the young clan leader! Among these three attitudes, the third one prevailed.

Ji Wuchang did not know that in his previous life, the Ji family had also sent someone, Ji Bosang, who was extremely disappointed upon seeing him and left directly.

This also meant that he was directly abandoned.

Ji Bosang represented the attitude of the majority of the Ji family, and even Ji Wuchang's father, the current clan leader of the Ji family, could not change it.

Because behind this stance was the Ji family's ancestor.

Ji Bosang's visit this time was an assessment arranged by the family for Ji Wuchang.

The eleven people before him were the first batch of assessors carefully selected by the Ji family to evaluate Ji Wuchang.

These people were not direct descendants of the Ji family, but they were all outstanding, with most having opened seven Dao platforms, and one having opened eight Dao platforms.

Their cultivation levels ranged from the fourth layer of the Six Gods Realm to the ninth layer of the Six Gods Realm.

"Just now, I contacted Ji Yongming, and Ji Wuchang is currently in Baiyang City, under the alias Zhou Wudi!"

"Since he is going to participate in the Thousand Cities Battle of the Tianxing Dynasty, I will arrange for six of you to meet him in the Hundred Cities Battle."

"The remaining five will meet him in the Thousand Cities Battle!"

"This is not only an assessment for Ji Wuchang but also for you. If any of you can defeat Ji Wuchang, you can directly become a core disciple of our Ji family!"

"Of course, if you fail, there's nothing more to say, and your status and position will remain unchanged upon returning to the clan!"

"Ji Wuchang's cultivation is at the eighth layer of the Soul Division Realm, lower than all of you, which is an opportunity for you!"

"There's no need to hold back in this assessment, whether it's you or Ji Wuchang, as long as a trace of your soul remains, I have the means to revive you!" Ji Bosang spoke slowly, with a solemn expression.

He would not help anyone, and he would not care about the outcome!

"Yes, Fifth Elder!" The eleven members of the Ji family nodded simultaneously, a glint of battle intent in their eyes.

While Ji Bosang was making arrangements, in another mansion in Baiyang City, a person cloaked entirely in black robes stood.

This person was from the Soul Hall, exuding a terrifying aura.

Beside the black-robed figure stood three individuals, all with cultivation levels at the ninth layer of the Six Gods Realm.

"The three of you will participate in the Hundred Cities Battle, everything has been arranged!"

"Remember, I have only one requirement, bring back Ji Wuchang's primordial spirit!"

"Anyone who kills a member of our Ten Thousand Souls Hall will surely die!" The three individuals beside the black-robed figure heard this and bowed respectfully, saying, "Yes, Hall Master!"

At the same time, seven figures entered Baiyang City, these people were from the Demon Sect's First Hall.

Originally, the Demon Sect's First Hall had completely given up on Ji Wuchang, as they were in the process of selecting a new target.

But as fate would have it, Ji Wuchang was recognized in Baiyang City, and the Demon Sect's First Hall was subsequently informed.

The Demon Sect's First Hall was already planning to participate in this Thousand Cities Battle, intending to abduct a promising talent from the Tianxing Dynasty.

Upon hearing news of Ji Wuchang, they were even more invigorated.

To ensure success, this time the Demon Sect's First Hall was led by a first-layer Heavenly Phenomenon Realm expert, accompanied by a ninth-layer Dao Severing Realm individual.

The remaining five were all at the ninth layer of the Six Gods Realm.

However, these five at the ninth layer of the Six Gods Realm were temporary puppets, infused with a large amount of demonic resentment.

They naturally would not act in Baiyang City, as there were many experts there.

The best place to act would be during the Hundred Cities Battle, as the competition grounds would be in a vast mountain range! The Demon Sect's First Hall had almost sent out their best reserves this time.

After all, their revered one had not yet awakened and was still in deep slumber.

Ji Wuchang would never have dreamed that he had become the target of three groups, a thorn in their side.

If he knew, he would surely feel a chill down his spine! In his room, he was earnestly studying something, a great seal given to him by Dean Gu Sheng.

The pattern on the seal was quite interesting, with several beast heads intertwined, but not in combat.

Ji Wuchang increasingly felt that they were setting up some kind of formation, currently in the process of changing.

The dean had once said that this seal was obtained from a secret realm, but after many years of study, he had found nothing.

Ji Wuchang had tried methods like infusing spiritual power and dripping blood, but to no avail.

His hand gently caressed the heads of the beasts, the bronze-like material giving a cool sensation to his touch.

Ji Wuchang looked for a long time but found nothing.
