Dusk Returns to the Ruined Building

Chapter 1187 Undeterred by Ruthlessness

Too much obsession becomes a demonic obstacle!

Ji Jingchun still came to Luowu Ancient City. Of course, he knew that a subject could not serve two masters!

Ji Jingchun has come here to settle past matters and let go of his obsessions!

Ji Jingchun decided to kill Shen Yichen one more time, and whether Shen Yichen lived or died was up to fate.

Ji Jingchun only wanted to sever his loyalty to the Illusion Emperor. From then on, he would only be loyal to Ji Qingyun. As for whether Ji Qingyun could understand him, Ji Jingchun did not care, because he was prepared to risk his life.

On the city wall of Luowu Ancient City, Ji Jingchun did not expect that he would encounter Ji Xuanyan when he entered the city at night. This was truly an unexpected turn of events.

"Senior, I don't know how to answer that question!"

Ji Jingchun wanted to tell the truth, but there was another person beside him, a master from the Yanquan Jianghu. Clearly, Ji Xuanyan had come for this person.

"Now that you're here, keep your men in check. Whether it's the affairs of Youzhou or the situation at Yanquan, you must act with extreme caution, or you won't even know how you died, and I won't be collecting your corpse!"

Ji Xuanyan's words were unfriendly, showing no respect for Ji Jingchun whatsoever.

Ji Jingchun was a little confused. He hadn't even entered Luowu Ancient City yet, so why was Ji Xuanyan acting this way?

Something must have happened in Luowu Ancient City, and it's probably related to Zhan Xiaoling.

"I will follow your teachings, senior. I am a little tired from my journey, so I will not disturb you any longer!"

Ji Jingchun is the leader of the First Feather, and he acts with discretion. Since he does not know the specific situation, he naturally will not express his opinion.

"I saw the Mysterious Arrow Token in Luowu Ancient City!"

Ji Xuanyan's simple and plain words startled Ji Jingchun so much that he remained motionless.

After a long while, Ji Jingchun swallowed hard and said in a trembling voice:

"How...how is this possible?"

Ji Jingchun believed Ji Xuanyan's words, but he did not believe it was true.

"Go look it up yourself, and take care of yourself!"

Ji Jingchun opened his mouth as if to ask something else, but swallowed the words back and bowed slightly!

"This junior takes his leave!"

Ji Xuanyan watched Ji Jingchun disappear into the night, shook her head slightly, and sighed softly:

"It's really a bit much to put you in charge of the Slaying Owl Feather, but unfortunately, the most suitable person is nowhere to be found!"

Ji Xuanyan's tone was full of regret and sadness.

Ji Xuanyan turned around and slowly walked to the right of the man in the bamboo hat. From beginning to end, the man in the bamboo hat did not move and had no intention of leaving.

"Is Murong Lubo still alive?"

Ji Xuanyan got straight to the point, because she knew that the man in the bamboo hat was Murong Lubo's man. In Jianying City, when she was playing chess with Murong Lubo at the pavilion, she sensed someone's presence.

Ji Xuanyan had always believed that he was from the Kongxu Manor. However, after meeting the man in the bamboo hat today, Ji Xuanyan realized that he was not from the Kongxu Manor, but rather belonged to another force of Murong Lubo, a force she was unaware of.

Of course, he might just be a guard!

"Hidden and orderly, concealing the chessboard of the world; amidst mountains and rivers, laying out the grand scheme of the world. Alas, it seems I was discovered by you after all!"

The man in the straw hat did not deny it. He understood very well that since Ji Xuanyan had come to him, she had already made up her mind. Whether he admitted it or not was meaningless.

"With your cultivation level, it's impossible for Murong Lubo to die so easily in Jianying City. The fact that you didn't appear outside the deep cave of Ouyang Manor says it all. Murong Lubo learns really fast. He secretly slipped out of the game and became an observer in the game of the world!"

The man in the straw hat didn't reply. After a moment, he said softly:

"You came to see me not just to confirm your suspicions, right?"

Ji Xuanyan gazed into the vast darkness of the night. From the dense forest outside the city, a few mournful bird calls could be heard from time to time.

"Of the two people in the dilapidated house, who interests you the most?"

Who are you interested in?

I'm interested in all five of you!

The man in the straw hat pondered for a moment, then said softly:

"Looks like I'm not the first person you've contacted!"

"You guessed wrong. You were the first person I was looking for, but I met someone else along the way!"

The man in the straw hat leaped into the ancient city of Luowu without warning, leaving behind only one sentence:

"Whoever he's interested in, I'll be interested in too!"

Ji Xuanyan didn't chase after her, and didn't even turn around.

After the surroundings fell completely silent, Ji Xuanyan murmured:

"Are you really one of Murong Lubo's people?"

Ji Xuanyan could sense that the man in the bamboo hat was stronger than Murong Lubo, but his aura was different from the Youzhou Zixia Divine Skill, so he was not a member of the Murong clan of Youzhou.

Ji Xuanyan couldn't understand it, so she reached out and patted the city wall, muttering to herself:

"Ji Xuanfeng, was it this difficult for you after you entered the world of immortals and heroes? The situation of the world amidst these mountains and rivers is truly not easy!"

Ji Xuanyan felt a strange weariness rising in her heart. She felt tired. Back then, Ji Xuanfeng was all alone, but what about her now? She had been secretly observing the world of immortals and heroes for five hundred years, based on the Tianji Pavilion, and now she felt like she was caught in a dilemma.

"Well, since you're here, show yourself!"

Ji Xuanyan looked towards the dense forest outside the city. Someone was coming from there. Judging from the aura, the person was Gu Yebai, the leader of the Xuantian Sect.

"You should come down. I'm not going to Luowu Ancient City!"

"Is it simply because of your status?"

Ji Xuanyan didn't move. She didn't want to see Gu Yebai. She really didn't love this man!

"If Ji Xuanfeng is still alive, you must not trust him!"

Gu Yebai did not show up either.

Ji Xuanyan did not respond, but instead asked:

"The Ji family's God-Slaying Army is approaching Luowu. You are delaying your departure because you are waiting for the Ji family's attitude towards the ancient city of Luowu, right?"

How could Ji Xuanyan's attitude towards Ji Xuanfeng possibly change because of what outsiders say?

Ji Xuanyan certainly wouldn't easily trust Ji Xuanfeng. Ji Xuanfeng had been missing for too long, and she needed to get to know him again.

If I said I just couldn't bear to part with you, would you believe me?

"Actually, I'm more concerned about the attitudes of the various factions and sects in Yanquan Jianghu towards Luowu Ancient City!"

"If you leave Luowu Ancient City, then I will naturally leave too!"

"Don't worry, I'll be safe and sound until the Ji family launches a military campaign against the Xuantian Sect!"

Ji Xuanyan and Gu Yebai didn't seem to be having a conversation; rather, they seemed to be expressing their inner thoughts.

"I have something to do, I'll be going now!"

As soon as Ji Xuanyan finished speaking, she flew into the ancient city of Luowu.

Ji Xuanyan decided to go to the dilapidated house again.

Deep in the dense forest, Gu Yebai let out a soft sigh:

"The reason why Ji Xuanfeng had an easier time than you in the martial world is because he is ruthless. In the chaotic world of martial arts, ruthlessness is a sharp sword, a sword that is invincible and always victorious. Unfortunately, you and I are destined not to be ruthless people in this life!"

Gu Yebai also left. He really did not enter Luowu Ancient City. This was the rule of the Xuantian Sect. For thousands of years, the Xuantian Sect's experts had never entered Luowu Ancient City, Wulang Academy, or Jiheng Hall, and even allowed them to continue to grow stronger.

Ji Xuanyan and Gu Yebai never expected that the man in the bamboo hat would return after they left.

The rain has stopped, but the straw hat is still on!

The man in the straw hat gazed into the ancient city of Luowu, his face fixed on the Floating Dragon Cave Pavilion, and remained motionless.

After an unknown amount of time, the man in the straw hat murmured softly:

"Will you blame your mother? You'll see her portrait tomorrow. How much do you remember? She must have been very beautiful!"

Ji Xuanyan seems to have guessed correctly. Could it be that the man in the bamboo hat really isn't one of Murong Lubo's men?

Tomorrow, on the trip to Fulong Cave Heavenly Pavilion, only Mu Qingxue and Shen Yichen will be able to see Mother's portrait!

When Ji Xuanyan returned to the dilapidated house, there was no one there!

Yang Jiarui and the unseen Xu Youguan went after two girls, both wanting to know if the Tianyou Clan really came from the Ming Realm.

Even King Liling himself didn't know!

Wu Yuan, the Heavenly Demon King, went to find another person, the Demon Emperor. As for where he was going to find him, Wu Yuan did not know, but he did know that as long as he stayed near Shen Yichen, the Demon Emperor would appear.

The reason why Yang Jiarui and Li Lingwang failed to win over the two girls is somewhat amusing.

Two streams of snot, like a knife and a sword, blocked Yang Jiarui's path. After she got rid of them, the two girls disappeared from sight.

The Void Traveler of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect caught up with the two girls and found them in the pavilion by the Fuchun River, where Ji Xuanyan and the others were staying.

"You're so annoying, why are you chasing after us sisters?"

"Exactly, exactly, like a ghost, so annoying!"

Inside the pavilion, the two girls were panting heavily. They had tried very hard to shake off the Void Traveler, but they hadn't succeeded. At this moment, they both regretted showing themselves, which meant that they had underestimated their opponent!

It can't be said that they underestimated their enemy; they had no enemy. They would only observe from the sidelines and not interfere in anything that happened in Luowu Ancient City.

"Fellow Daoists, is the Tianyou Clan truly from the Dark Realm?"

"Hey sis, this guy's not quite right in the head. Should we give him some of our good medicine?"

"Sister, he won't appreciate it. Besides, we don't even have enough medicine for ourselves, it's too much trouble to feed that kid by ourselves!"

The two girls were eating each other's snot, but they were eating each other's snot, and they didn't take the pursuing Xu Youguan seriously at all.

"If you won't listen to reason, you'll have to suffer the consequences. I won't be polite then!"

The Void Official made his move; though his figure was nowhere to be seen, his techniques were revealed.

Outside the pavilion, countless demonic hands, shimmering with eerie green light, attacked the two girls inside from all directions.

"Is the Thousand Nether Palm authentic?"

"Sister, it's all show and no substance, it doesn't seem real!"

No sooner had the two girls finished speaking than Xu Youguan's thousand palm strikes landed on them.

In an instant, the two girls' bodies shattered, scattering like withered flowers.

The results of it?

Inside the pavilion, two streams of snot floated in the air, in the hands of the illusory wandering official, though the official himself did not appear.

"Here you go, it's a gift for you!"

"The heavens have changed, and we don't want the young lady of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect to die. This is the best medicine!"

In the darkness, the voices of the two girls faded into the distance.
