Zhuge Liang's Journey to Dominate the World: Starting from Another World

Chapter 229 Mengli Stops the War

The other Golden Core cultivators gasped in shock upon seeing this, never expecting that a dignified late-stage Golden Core cultivator would be so easily defeated by this mortal.

"How dare you kill someone from my Ancient Desolate Family!"

Ji Wushuang's face was ashen, and her eyes were practically spitting fire.

As a direct descendant of the Ji family, no one had ever dared to disobey him; whoever he commanded to die, would die.

In his eyes, Kongming and the others were nothing but insignificant ants, yet now they dared to kill his late-stage Golden Core cultivator right in front of him, which was a blatant provocation against his authority.

"All of you, attack! Tear these men to pieces!"

Ji Wushuang's voice was filled with anger, echoing in the surrounding air.

Just then, a fragrant breeze wafted over, followed by a melodious voice: "Please calm your anger, Young Master Wushuang, and let these three go!"

Everyone turned to look and saw a woman in a light pink gauze dress moving gracefully, followed by several Golden Core cultivators.

The woman's skin was as white as snow, exuding a cold and aloof beauty. Her cherry lips were naturally red, and her long, jet-black hair was styled into an exquisite updo, adding to her allure.

"So it's Miss Mengli! I intend to kill someone here; I'm sure Lord Liu won't blame me!"

When Ji Wushuang saw that the person who came was Liu Mengli, her originally livid face softened slightly, but her tone still carried a bit of toughness and disdain.

Liu Mengli frowned slightly and curtsied gently. "Young Master Wushuang, these three are guests I specially invited for the Sima family. If something happens to them in this sacred city, my Liu family will have a hard time explaining ourselves! I beg you to show mercy for the sake of the Sima family."

Liu Mengli specifically mentioned the Sima family to remind Ji Wushuang that the power behind her was not to be underestimated.

"Hahaha, is Miss Liu trying to use the Sima family to pressure me?"

Ji Wushuang threw his head back and laughed loudly, but his laughter carried a sharp edge and a hint of dissatisfaction. He stared at Liu Mengli with eyes like an eagle, as if trying to detect a trace of panic on her face.

Liu Mengli remained calm and met Ji Wushuang's gaze, saying frankly, "Young Master Wushuang, you flatter me. I am merely stating the facts. Now that the secret realm is about to open, why should Young Master Wushuang cause trouble with the Sima family over such a trivial matter? We have a long future ahead of us, and we may even need to look after each other in the secret realm."

Liu Mengli's words were both soft and firm, pointing out the stakes while also saving face for Ji Wushuang.

"Hmph! If I'm determined to kill, do you think you can stop me?"

However, a hint of displeasure flashed in Ji Wu's eyes, clearly indicating that he did not intend to accept the gesture.

Although he was a playboy, he was a talented young man truly nurtured by the Ji family, and he could not afford to lose face in such a situation.

A powerful aura suddenly emanated from his body, and the pressure of a late-stage Golden Core cultivator surged towards Liu Mengli and the others like a tidal wave.

Several Golden Core cultivators behind Liu Mengli immediately stepped forward to shield her from the powerful pressure.

As a key junior of the Ji family, Ji Wushuang's strength far surpassed that of ordinary late-stage Golden Core cultivators. Although these Golden Core cultivators fought hard, they still found it difficult.

Liu Mengli frowned slightly, but did not back down, even though the oppressive aura made it difficult for her to breathe.

“Young Master Wushuang, you are naturally very powerful, and Mengli knows she cannot stop you. But if you insist on doing so, once you become enemies with the Sima family, the Ji family will surely not want to see the consequences.”

Ji Wushuang snorted coldly and said, "Don't try to intimidate me with the Sima family anymore. How could my Ji family be afraid? They killed members of my Ji family. If they don't pay the price, where is the dignity of my Ji family? Therefore, these three must be killed!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Mengli gritted her teeth and slowly took out an ancient-looking token from her bosom.

Ji Wushuang's expression changed instantly upon seeing the token...
