#1855 - My heart is broken

“Ugly Yun Tian! Why haven't you come out yet! Don't you like the way I laugh?! Then I'll change it! Hehehe!”

“Is there anyone alive in this Hall of Laws?! How has so much time passed without even a greeting! Don't you understand hospitality?!”

Inside the Hall of Laws, Ji Dongfeng's laughter echoed incessantly, the sound reverberating through one grand hall after another. The beings composed of clouds and mist merely glanced at Ji Dongfeng before continuing with their tasks.

“Ji Dongfeng!”

Just as Ji Dongfeng was about to try ramming into the palaces, an angry roar rang out.

Ji Dongfeng heard the sound and looked up, finding Ugly Yun Tian charging towards him, his face full of anger.

“Hehehe, how is it? Is this Daddy’s smile radiant enough?” Ji Dongfeng chuckled, sizing up Ugly Yun Tian's true form. He then noticed that Ugly Yun Tian's aura was restrained, as erratic as Er Wang's.

“He should still be in a cultivation state,” the Shadow of the Law of Time said.

“What does cultivation state mean?” Qingfeng asked.

“As a follower of the Law Master, they must serve the Law Master on one hand, and complete the cultivation tasks assigned by the Law Master on the other. This allows them to rapidly increase their strength and gain more power related to the law,” the Shadow of the Law of Time said.

“Smack!”

Ji Dongfeng used all his strength in this slap, but Ugly Yun Tian didn't move an inch, not even tilting his head. This showed how strong his physical body was.

Although his body wasn't affected, Ugly Yun Tian's mental state was now almost shattered. The raging fire that was barely suppressed completely erupted!

“Boom!”

In the next moment, the killing intent on Ugly Yun Tian's body exploded. This killing intent was so strong that Ji Dongfeng felt suffocated.

“You're getting anxious, you're getting anxious. Look at you, aren't I helping you cultivate? In terms of seniority, I'm the father of the Law Master of Time, so you can be considered my grandson. Grandpa is educating his grandson, what are you getting anxious about?” Ji Dongfeng chuckled.

“Ji Dongfeng!” Ugly Yun Tian roared, killing intent surging in his eyes. His mental state completely shattered, and his cultivation task was declared a failure!

“Ji Dongfeng! I'm going to kill you!” Ugly Yun Tian hissed. He had persisted in this cultivation task for more than half a year. If he could complete it, his strength would be further improved, and he might even have a chance to challenge the Heavenly Law Rankings. Now, just as he was about to complete it, Ji Dongfeng completely ruined it. How could he not be angry?

Ji Dongfeng sneered upon hearing this and said, “If you can't do it! Then you really are my grandson!”

Ugly Yun Tian ignored everything else upon hearing this and raised his finger to point at Ji Dongfeng. However, just as he was about to act, the surrounding space stagnated, and both he and Ji Dongfeng were frozen in place.

“Really, you've been cultivating for so long, yet you still can't hold your breath. How can you be a good follower?”

Accompanied by a stern voice, the Law Master of Time descended from the sky and stood between Ugly Yun Tian and Ji Dongfeng.

“Thump!”

In the next moment, the Law Master of Time stretched out his finger and flicked Ugly Yun Tian's forehead, instantly sending Ugly Yun Tian back to the Law Master of Time's palace.

“Alas… Although there has been progress in mental state, it can still only be considered incompetent,” the Law Master of Time said in a deep voice, then turned his head to look at Ji Dongfeng.

“If Ugly Yun Tian had Ji Dongfeng's mental state, he would be destined for great things.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the Law Master of Time moved his mind, and Ji Dongfeng instantly regained his freedom.

“Hehehe, old timer, long time no see. Have you encountered any upsetting things? Tell me about them so I can have a good laugh,” Ji Dongfeng chuckled.

“In the entire Divine Bright Heaven, you're the only one who talks to me like this… I really didn't expect you to reach this step. It seems I underestimated you back then,” the Law Master of Time said.

“What is Divine Bright Heaven? Also, you didn't expect it? Could it be that I have now completely broken free from the path you paved for me?” Ji Dongfeng laughed.

“Heh, break free? Ji Dongfeng, you can't break free from me. You better remember at all times that every path you take in the future may have been prepared for you by me,” the Law Master of Time laughed.

“Whatever, if the path you take has enough benefits, I can also take it. In my opinion, all roads lead to Daddy, and if you're willing to become my stepping stone to heaven, I don't mind stepping on you a few more times,” Ji Dongfeng said.

The Law Master of Time narrowed his eyes slightly upon hearing this, and the smile on his face diminished a little. He noticed that when Ji Dongfeng stood in front of him, both his aura and mental state had improved a lot compared to the past. If Ji Dongfeng still had some reverence when facing him in the past, then at this moment, that little bit of reverence had completely disappeared.

“Good, very good. Come with me, consider yourself lucky, there just happens to be an interesting event in the Hall of Laws.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the Law Master of Time stepped forward, and Ji Dongfeng hurriedly followed, but not behind him, but side by side.

“Where's my mother?” Ji Dongfeng asked.

“Are you talking about the Overseer? She's fine, but she used the Protection Order, so she must stay in the Hall of Time until the protection ends and cannot come out,” the Law Master of Time said.

“I don't need protection anymore,” Ji Dongfeng said in a deep voice. The reason why he was so anxious to come to the Hall of Laws was to quickly bring back Fang Zhiyuan.

The Law Master of Time chuckled upon hearing this and said, “She forcibly used the Protection Order without my permission. I didn't hold her responsible, and even agreed to the protection. This is already my benevolence. But now you want me to end the protection, Ji Dongfeng, do you think the protection of the Law Master is a child's play?”

“Whether to end the protection or not, the choice is not yours, it's mine.”

Ji Dongfeng's expression sank upon hearing this, and he said, “Old timer, are you trying to say that only you can decide whether to let my mother out, right?”

“Smart.”
