"Cough, cough!"

Dugu Ming felt a little awkward. Li Hai's intentions were clear. With the Mayor's courage, he would not mock Dugu Ming in front of Li Yi and the others. This was definitely the intention of the Saint King, Dugu Batian.

After faking a cough to cover up his embarrassment, Dugu Ming waved his hand and said, "There's something that's delayed on the way. Let's go to the Holy Capital. Imperial Father must be anxious from waiting."

A group of people flew into Liyang City under the protection of the city's mayor, Li Hai, and the defending army.

Liyang City was a big city in the Great Qin Holy Court. Naturally, there was a teleportation portal connecting the city to the Holy Capital. Li Yi and the others didn't stay in Liyang City and teleported directly to the Holy Capital through the portal.

"The doors are wide open, the flags are flying, and the music of immortals is everywhere! royal father has taken out the highest standards to receive Brother Li and Brother Zhao! "

Inside the Holy Capital, the gates were wide open, and the fully armed palace guards lined up on either side of the gates to the inner palace.

Flashes of pennants filled the sky. Li Yi saw the Saint King Dugu Batian sitting on a throne in the middle of the palace with a single glance.

"Junior Li Yi, Zhao Zilong, Ji Chongguo, and Ji Yao pay their respects to Saint Emperor Dugu!"

Under Dugu Ming's lead, the few of them entered the inner palace. After entering the great hall, they bowed deeply to Dugu Batian.

Li Yi and the others did not mention anything about their identities or backgrounds. Dugu Batian was well aware of this, and immediately got off the throne and raised his hand: "My dear friends, there is no need to be polite. Tomorrow, I have mentioned all of you to me more than once, and I have been wanting to meet you for a long time."

"Imperial Father, Brother Li and the others specially came to visit you!"

Dugu Ming stood beside Dugu Batian and bowed to him.

"Of course I know. All of you walk here and there, sightseeing and sightseeing. Which faction doesn't know about you?"

Dugu Batian glared at Dugu Ming, but there was no blame in his eyes.

"This is the main hall of the banquet. Previously, it was to show the importance I have placed on you that I came here to welcome you. I did not call anyone in the imperial court because I wanted to have a good chat with my brother-in-law." Let's go to Thousand Sunsets, it's quieter there. "

After Dugu Batian finished speaking, his consciousness wrapped around Li Yi and the others. With a teleportation, he disappeared from the great hall.

The Thousand Sun Restaurant was located right beside Dugu Batian's sleeping quarters. The biggest feature of it was that it was floating in a large lotus pond. The scenery was pleasant, just like a paradise.

Even though it was called a residence, it was actually just a huge pavilion. The pavilion was already filled with all kinds of fruits and delicacies.

Immortal cultivators didn't need to eat, but that didn't mean they couldn't. Li Yi and the others were very satisfied with Dugu Batian's arrangement. They chatted for a long time.

Li Yi and Zhao Zilong didn't have any special purpose in visiting the Great Qin Court. They wanted to express their gratitude to the Sacred Emperor, Dugu Batian, and of course, to give a show of respect to the other great powers. They wanted Li Yi and Zhao Zilong to be close to the Great Qin Court, and that was exactly what Dugu Batian needed.

When Li Yi rushed out from the depths of the Meteor Demon Abyss and brought out the Golden Immortal Blue Wind, the news of him killing over a thousand experts with his own strength spread like wildfire across the Central Region.

Li Yi was now the uncrowned king of the Central Region. Other than the North Nether Academy's Headmaster Zhuge Kongming, there was no one else in the entire Central Region that could match him.

Not to mention that he had a friend of the Great Firmament Golden Immortal by his side.

People from the Immortal World couldn't go down to the Immortal World so easily. Even if they did, their cultivation level wouldn't be too high. At the very most, they wouldn't be higher than a Heavenly Immortal.

The reason why the Great Chu Holy Court and the Zang family came to apologize and agree to Li Yi's three harsh conditions was because they were wary of Li Yi, Zhao Zilong, and Blue Wind.

Li Yi and the others didn't stay for long in the Great Qin Holy Court. They only stayed for two days before departing for the Ji family. Li Yi hadn't seen Dugu Ce in the two days they spent together in the Great Qin Court. He heard that Dugu Ming had been sent to Fringe City by the Emperor, so he was afraid that Dugu Ming was going to focus on cultivating him. Otherwise, who would have known that the crown prince would stay in the inner palace for such a long time?

In this regard, Li Yi was happy to see it happen. Dugu Ming was open-minded and loyal. If he became the Holy Emperor of the Great Chu, then Li Yi and Zhao Zilong's friends and relatives would be safe.

Li Yi was now at the Great Perfection Stage of the late Grand Master Stage, and his immortal body had already transformed into a third of a human. When his Immortal body was completely transformed, he would ascend to the Immortal World.

Zhao Zilong was now at the late stage of grand marquis. With his cultivation speed, he should be about the same as Li Yi. The two of them had agreed to fly together to the Immortal World.

Once the two of them ascended, the major powers would no longer have to worry about them. Although the Sacred Court of Chu and the Zang family had fulfilled their agreement and made a promise, they didn't have the power to intimidate and intimidate them.

However, it was different for Dugu Ming as the Saint King of the Great Qin Court.

As long as he became a Saint King, Dugu Ming would be able to protect his family and friends for at least a thousand years. Although the Saint Kings of the two palaces and the Patriarchs of the three families were all experts of the late stage, their actual battle prowess was much higher than the experts of the late stage.

After becoming the Saint Kings of the two palaces or the Patriarchs of the three families, they would inherit their respective Imperial Armaments. With the protection of the Imperial Armaments, even if they had reached the peak of the late Grand Master stage, they wouldn't need to immediately ascend to the Immortal World.

Although his cultivation would not increase, his strength would not stop growing.

An Emperor Armament could protect the successor for a thousand years. Generally speaking, after the two Sacred Emperor and the Patriarch of the three great families had reached the Immortal World, none of them were lower than the Heavenly Immortal Stage.

This time, Li Yi and the others didn't delay when they went to the Ji Clan. They directly teleported from the Sacred City in the Great Qin Court to the nearest city. After that, they quickly arrived at the city controlled by the Ji Clan and teleported to the Ji Clan through the teleportation formation.

The name of the main branch of the Ji Clan was Wu Shuang City, which implied that this city was unrivalled in the world. The entire Wu Clan City was filled with the descendants of the Ji Clan.

As soon as Li Yi and the others appeared in the Unparalleled City, they were recognized.

"Isn't that the young master and young miss? Young Master and Young Miss have returned! "

"The handsome man that young miss is embracing should be the Alliance Head of Heaven Breaking Union Li Yi, and the one beside her is Zhao Zilong!" "That's right, I remember their appearances!"

"I've long heard that Chief Li and Chief Zhao are coming to visit the Ji Clan's leader. Finally, they've come!"

"Hurry and report this to the Patriarch!"

In just a short while, several silhouettes had walked up to welcome them. The one leading them was Ji Yao and Ji Chongguo's cousin, Ji Mingyu.

"Big brother, big sister, you're finally back!" Quickly go, your uncle is already waiting for you in the inner city! "

Ji Mingyu's appearance was somewhat similar to Ji Chongguo and he looked very cheerful. Seeing Ji Yao holding Li Yi's arm, he laughed, "This is my brother-in-law, Alliance Head Li! Brother-in-law, let me tell you this, my sister is the treasure of our Ji family, we can't just follow you around like this! At least you have to show some gratitude! "

"Mingyu, don't talk nonsense!"

Ji Yao glared at Ji Mingyu with a slightly red face, and said in a annoyed tone.

"I've come this time to pay my respects to father-in-law, and to formally propose!"

Li Yi laughed and hugged Ji Yao tighter. He looked at this interesting brother-in-law in front of him. This little brat was really friendly. This was the first time they had met, but brother-in-law called him rather smoothly!

"Good!" Brother-in-law, you're the one who said that! Big brother, you have to be the witness. Brother-in-law is here to propose marriage! Let's go, let's hurry to meet uncle! "

Hearing this, Ji Mingyu was amused. He urged a few guards to lead the way, and disappeared like a wisp of smoke. He probably went to report to the Ji Clan's Clan Head, Ji Zi.

"Little Yao, your little brother is really interesting. How come I've never heard you mention him before?"

Li Yi looked at Ji Mingyu's back as he walked away, lowered his head and kissed Ji Yao's forehead.

"Mingyu is my cousin. This kid has always been mischievous and doesn't like to cultivate, but he likes to mess around with pills and smithing. Besides my big brother, he is the closest person to me in the entire Ji Clan." It's just that you never asked me about my family, so I didn't mention it. "

Ji Yao's blush had yet to disappear. Li Yi's intimate actions in front of everyone made Ji Yao blush a little.

"Sorry, I was too busy cultivating to care about you!"

Li Yi looked at Ji Yao apologetically: "Don't worry, what I said to Mingyu just now is true. The main reason why I came to the Ji Family this time is to propose marriage, Mingyu is right, you are the precious daughter of the Ji Family, you can't just follow me around like that! "Moreover, I have already prepared the betrothal gift. It should be delivered soon. As for what it is, I will buy it for now."

No matter how much Ji Yao asked, she didn't say anything. Ji Yao could only give him a coquettish look and endure her curiosity, waiting for the answer to come out.

Under the guidance of the guards, Li Yi and the others quickly arrived at the inner city of the Ji Clan. Ji Yao and Ji Chongguo's father, Ji Zi, was sitting on a stone bench under a tree in the courtyard.

Ji Zi was wearing a scholarly robe, and his appearance was about eighty percent similar to Ji Chongguo. His gaze was deep and profound, unlike the domineering aura of the Dugu Sacred Emperor. Ji Zi seemed refined, giving off a refreshing feeling.

"Come, sit down!"

Seeing Li Yi and the others walk over, Ji Zi smiled and pointed to the other stone chairs.

"Thank you, father-in-law!"

Li Yi bowed respectfully and sat down. Zhao Zilong and the others also bowed and sat down.

"Father-in-law?"

Ji Zi was surprised by Li Yi's way of addressing him, he probably did not expect Li Yi to be this direct. After a moment of astonishment, Ji Zi laughed, "It's not wrong to address me like that. With your relationship with Yao'er, this old man truly deserves to be addressed as father-in-law. However, if you want this old man to acknowledge you as his son-in-law, just by the way you address me, it's not enough! "
