The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud

Upon hearing Su Jingzhen’s words, a bright and charming smile appeared on Yan Xia’s face.

“I knew that you would eventually stand by my side.

Rest assured, with my current resources and power, everything I promised will undoubtedly come true.”

While Yan Xia and Su Jingzhen were talking, a group of people suddenly approached.

When Su Jingzhen saw these people, he froze for a moment, but his expression quickly turned friendly.

They weren’t Heavenly Dragon Race, but members of the Ji Clan.

In truth, Su Jingzhen had known for a long time that the Ji Clan had sided with Shen Yifeng in the past and was still doing so to this day.

Naturally, Su Jingzhen’s attitude towards them was friendly.

“I am Ji Tianci. It’s an honor to meet you, Daoist Su,” the leader, a young man who appeared to be in his early thirties, greeted Su Jingzhen with cupped fists in a respectful introduction.

Their group consisted of twelve people, all of whom were at the late stage of the Unity Realm.

Su Jingzhen also returned the greeting with a cupped fist.

“What business do you have with me, Daoist Ji?”

Obviously, Su Jingzhen was in no mood for unnecessary formalities or idle chatter.

His directness made Ji Tianci pause for a moment, but his smile grew even warmer.

He continued, “Before entering the Divine Kingdom, we were instructed by Sister Qinghe to follow your orders in this place.”

His words were concise, delivered in a calm and composed manner, without a hint of reluctance or dissatisfaction.

However, those present were completely stunned upon hearing this.

Even Su Jingzhen found it hard to believe.

He had not expected the Ji Clan to make such a decision.

Since Ji Tianci had made this statement publicly, it was obvious that this was the official stance of the Ji Clan.

“Did I hear that right?

Ji Tianci, the undisputed leader of the Ji Clan contingent in the Divine Kingdom, has just pledged allegiance to Su Jingzhen?”

“The Ji Clan’s forces in the Divine Kingdom are definitely not limited to those few people.

Their strength should be on par with the Yan Clan. If Su Jingzhen can command both the Ji Clan and the Heavenly Dragon Race…

Who in the Divine Kingdom could oppose him now?”

“This world is getting crazier by the minute!

First, the Yan Clan Water Spirit Saint Body Bearer openly expressed her admiration for Su Jingzhen and even scolded her own clan for his sake.

And now the Ji Clan is showing up to join him as well.

What kind of charm does Su Jingzhen have to attract so much support?”

“There’s no way that it’s all because of the prestige of the Heavenly Dragon Race, or just because he’s Shen Yifeng’s disciple. I refuse to believe that’s the only reason.” ṝаꞐȮ฿Ès

“…”

After Ji Tianci made such a public declaration, it unsurprisingly triggered another wave of shocked discussions among those present.

The Ji Clan’s sudden move had taken everyone by surprise.

No one had expected it.

“Daoist Ji, are you serious?”

Even though Su Jingzhen had already accepted the reality of the situation in his heart, he couldn’t help but ask for confirmation.

“Bringing my clan members here should make my intentions clear,” Ji Tianci replied, his tone calm and unwavering.

“I only hope that Daoist Su will not find my strength too lacking.”

His voice remained calm, as if pledging allegiance was the most natural thing to do.

Su Jingzhen nodded. Of course, he had no reason to refuse the Ji Clan’s goodwill, especially since his master’s women was still with the Ji Clan.

He hoped that his master and his women would enjoy a harmonious union for centuries to come.

In fact, even if the Ji Clan hadn’t offered this goodwill, Su Jingzhen had planned to extend a helping hand to them when the opportunity arose. Now, however, he had a legitimate reason to do so.

“In that case, let’s work together and support each other.

Since both Yan Xia and I are new here, we’re not very familiar with the current situation in Divine Capital.

Daoist Ji, we’d appreciate it if you could enlighten us.”

Now that they were allies, Su Jingzhen saw no need to hold back.

Although he and Yan Xia had gathered some information about Divine Capital from previous reports, they hadn’t explored the city since the opening of this Divine Kingdom.

Upon hearing this, a faint smile appeared on Ji Tianci’s face.

With a slight nod, he gestured to the Ji Clan members around him, and they quietly took their places behind Su Jingzhen, standing as if they were now his subordinates.

Ji Tianci continued, “We headed straight for Divine Capital the moment we entered the Divine Kingdom.

To be honest, things are a bit unusual this time.”

He paused for a moment, his expression becoming more serious.

“In the past, Divine Capital’s protective formation was known to be virtually unbreakable.

But this time, we noticed something strange – it doesn’t seem to match the rumors.

Many of us have observed that the city’s defense formation seems to be gradually weakening.

Although the change is subtle, everyone in the Unity Realm can sense it.”

Before Su Jingzhen could reply, a hint of excitement finally crept into Ji Tianci’s expression.

“So we believe that this time we might actually have a chance to enter Divine Capital.

But we’ll have to wait… wait for the right opportunity.”

Su Jingzhen exchanged glances with Yan Xia, both of them equally surprised by this revelation.

Su Jingzhen silently transmitted a message to Bai Suzhen who was hidden in his arm.

“Even though… we haven’t gotten close to Divine Capital’s protective formation, you should still be able to see the situation from this distance, right?”

The message was barely finished when Bai Suzhen immediately replied.

“He’s right. The protective formation is indeed slowly weakening. However, it will take a considerable amount of time for it to weaken enough for those from the Unity Realm to enter.”

After a short pause, Bai Suzhen added with a carefree tone, “But it doesn’t matter. With me and Shen Yifeng here in the Divine Kingdom, you can take your time and play as you wish.

As for time, we have plenty – after all, this is only the first day.”

Su Jingzhen nodded. Indeed, there was no need for him to rush.

With Bai Suzhen at his side, he could make the round trip from Divine Capital to Clear Light Ridge in less than an hour. There was no need to worry about the situation over there.

Ji Tianci continued to explain more about the current events around Divine Capital.

However, most of them were related to the people who had entered the Divine Kingdom. Aside from the weakening of the protective formation, they had no knowledge of the state of Divine Capital itself, as no one had managed to enter yet.

After exchanging more information with Ji Tianci, Su Jingzhen and Yan Xia went to investigate the protective formation themselves.

With their current strength, they found that they couldn’t shake the formation in the slightest.

Even Bai Suzhen, after secretly examining it, silently shook her head in Su Jingzhen’s direction.

“This thing… I have no idea what civilization left it behind. I could probably force it open, but the cost to myself would be enormous.

However, once I recover with the help of the Pearl of the Four Symbols, I might give it a try.”

Upon hearing this, Su Jingzhen didn’t push any further.

He followed Ji Tianci and the others to a nearby clearing, sat down cross-legged, and waited silently.

Time passed slowly, and the sky above the Divine Kingdom remained bathed in a blood-red twilight, as if drenched in the hues of a setting sun.

Su Jingzhen estimated that only forty-five more hours would pass before a full day would be completed within the Divine Kingdom. There was no urgency to retrieve the items from the Clear Light Ridge.

Just then, a sudden and unusual ripple spread through the surrounding area, attracting the attention of everyone in Divine Capital.

“It’s open!

The protective formation around Divine Capital has opened!”

An excited voice broke the silence, instantly drawing the attention of everyone present.
