《Evil God, Love Me Tender》


 C6 First skirmish between two foxes

    "Uncle Liu, quickly kill this brat and finish this quickly!" Meng YunRan couldn''t help but urge.


    Hearing Meng YunRan''s urging, Uncle Liu didn''t even have time to think as he immediately shouted in anger,


    "Nine Hell Flame Slash!"


    The majestic flames seemed to have a soul of their own as they automatically took the shape of a sword. The immense energy stirred up a huge gale.


    "Uncle Liu, I never thought that you would have already mastered the Nine Netherflame Slash!" Meng YunRan''s expression could no longer be described as excited.


    Even the way he spoke changed from "you" to "you". The difference of a single word was sufficient to prove the strength of Uncle Liu!


    Ning Xuanyan''s expression changed. She was born in a Venerable family and knew how rare this move was. At this moment, even she couldn''t help but have the urge to rope him in.


    The Nine Hell Flame Slash wasn''t a strange technique, but very few people were able to learn it. This was not only because it was extremely difficult, it also required extremely strong fire spirit roots.


    Uncle Liu had to ponder for half his life, and with the addition of the Fire element and the Yellow Spirit Root, he was finally able to learn this martial art!


    So what if this kid is weird?!


    It still had to be done here.


    "Kid, being able to die under the Nine Hell Flame Slash can be considered your ability!" A trace of malice flashed through Uncle Liu''s eyes as a resolute smile appeared on his face.


    Following which, the huge sword Qi shot towards Jun Qiyan. However, there was no trace of panic on the youth''s face. Instead, there was an enigmatic smile on his face.


    When the sword qi was less than a foot away from Jun Qiyan, the surrounding spiritual energy had completely dissipated, and the powerful pressure had also disappeared without a trace.


    "You, what did you do to me ¡­" The man suddenly coughed out a mouthful of blood. At this moment, Uncle Liu seemed to have aged several decades. His originally tight skin had begun to age at a speed visible to the naked eye.


    Everyone present was dumbfounded. No one had thought that this would be the end result.


    "You ¡­" Uncle Liu wanted to say something more, but before he could finish, the originally lively and lifeless body had now turned into a mummified corpse.


    The speed was so fast that it made people fear. In only a few breaths, Uncle Liu went from an expert to a desiccated corpse.


    Jun Qiyan watched everything that was happening with cold eyes. The others might not know what was going on, but the terracotta soldier Jun Qiyan was very clear in her heart.


    In this era, this powder hadn''t been developed yet, so Jun Qiyan had full confidence in it.


    "You, you, what kind of monster are you!" Meng YunRan stuttered.


    Jun Qiyan looked at Meng YunRan and merely smiled coldly.


    "Today, I am in a good mood. I ¡­ I will let you off for now!"


    After saying that, he ran off without even looking back, as if he had met a ferocious beast.


    It was only when Meng YunRan''s figure had left Jun Qianyan''s sight that the petite figure fell to the ground, paralyzed.


    However, Meng YunRan had long been scared out of his wits by Jun Qianyan. He didn''t even have the courage to observe his enemies. This gave her a chance to catch her breath.


    "Pa, pa, pa."


    "This sovereign truly watched a good show."


    Jun Qiyan looked up. The incomparably handsome man was like an immortal descending from heaven. He wore a black robe and sat on the highest tree branch. The man stroked his shiny and clean chin with some interest.


    He had to admit that the person in front of him had piqued his interest. Although the difference in strength between the two sides was huge, this woman was still invincible.


    "Woman, you saved me."


    This person was none other than the black-clothed man.


    Jun Qiyan was startled. She was clearly wearing men''s clothes, but the person before her was able to tell her gender with a single glance!


    Jun Qiyan had absolute confidence in the use of this technique.


    "Your inferior disguise mask can only hide trash."


    Di Mo Jiu seemed to be able to read Jun Qiyan''s mind, he said with a slightly disdainful tone.


    "Hoh, so what? When my life is on the line, why don''t you help me out?" There wasn''t a single ripple in the depths of Jun Qiyan''s eyes as her ice-cold eyes locked with the man''s.


    "Oh? Are you blaming this sovereign? " The man said with a faint smile.


    Jun Qiyan lowered her head and did not speak.


    "You seem to be dying." The man wasn''t annoyed, he only looked at Jun Qiyan quietly.


    At this moment, Jun Qianyan only wished to speak sarcastically. What this man said was right, the collision with Uncle Liu had shaken her internal organs to the point of bleeding. If she hadn''t been treated in time, she would have perished very soon.


    "How about we make a deal?" A strange look flashed across the man''s eyes, but it quickly disappeared.


    "I''ll save you for one. From now on, you will give me a bowl of heart blood every 15 months."


    "What if I don''t?" Jun Qiyan narrowed her eyes. She hated people who threatened her the most.


    "Then you will die." Di Mo Jiu shrugged, looking indifferent.


    "Farewell!"


    The girl seemed to be too lazy to deal with him. After she finished speaking, she slowly got up, staggering a little.


    "Woman, aren''t you afraid of death?!" Di Mo Jiu obviously didn''t expect the other party to be so decisive in rejecting his offer. Looking at that skinny figure, he couldn''t help but feel upset in his heart for a moment.


    In fact, they were well aware that if Jun Qiyan wasn''t treated, his meridians would definitely be broken and he would die within six hours.


    "Afraid of death? I am a piece of trash that is rarely seen in a hundred years, what is there to be afraid of? " Jun Qiyan''s voice paused for a moment, then he turned to look at Di Mo Jiu.


    "On the other hand, you should be an extraordinary genius, or perhaps the overlord of a region." Jun Qiyan narrowed her eyes, a trace of shrewdness flashing through them.


    How laughable, he didn''t show it at all and wanted her to donate her blood? Do his dreams!


    Jun Qiyan calmly sized up the person in front of him; his clothes were definitely not ordinary silk. The pendant at his waist was made from fine spirit stones, and this man''s entire body had the word "trench" written all over it.


    If he didn''t scam him, he would feel sorry for his own conscience!


    "What if I say that you''re not trash?" Di Mo Jiu said with a smile.


    Jun Qiyan''s heart trembled, but he maintained his composure with great effort.


    Strength!


    It could be said that after Uncle Liu''s matter, Jun Qiyan''s desire for power had increased!


    "I can help you recover your original talent, and if I''m not wrong, you have fire and wood spirit roots. That is to say, you have talent as an alchemist."


    "And the reason why you are considered to have no spiritual roots is only because your spiritual roots have been sealed."


    Di Mo Jiu looked at Jun Qianyan thoughtfully, the doubt in his eyes becoming more obvious.


    Just who was this girl ¡­


    It seemed that he needed to return.

 C7 Seal the seal you will be one of my men in the future.

    "Why should I believe you?" Jun Qiyan was a bit skeptical.


    From a peerless trash to an absolute genius, no one would be able to accept that.


    Just who was this man to be able to clearly see the attributes of his spiritual root!


    "Today just happens to be the fourteenth. Tomorrow, I''ll undo the seal for you. At that time, if your talent is different from what I''ve said, you can just turn hostile."


    "Of course, in order to express my sincerity, I''ll first treat your injuries." Di Mo and Jiu Dao.


    Jun Qiyan thought about it for a moment, then nodded his head.


    In the blink of an eye, a faint layer of purple mist came out from Di Mo Jiu''s palm, surrounding Jun Qiyan.


    Jun Qiyan narrowed her eyes. She could feel a mysterious power healing her meridians and meridians, like feathers brushing against her skin, causing her to itch.


    After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, the faint mist slowly disappeared.


    Jun Qiyan''s long eyelashes trembled slightly. She slowly opened her eyes, and couldn''t help but be surprised to find out that not only were the meridians in her body completely healed, even the big and small wounds had miraculously healed.


    She didn''t even have the time to thank him before Jun Qi felt a thick shadow fall over her. A warm air curled around Jun Qiyan''s ears, and an enlarged, handsome face appeared right in front of her.


    "Eh?!" Jun Qiyan''s pupils constricted. Had she been forcefully kissed by someone else?!


    The soft touch made Jun Qiyan''s head dizzy. She didn''t have the time to think about it, and the soft touch had already disappeared.


    "You!" A moment later, Jun Qiyan''s beautiful eyes were burning with a fiery fury. She was truly displeased to be taken advantage of in broad daylight.


    Besides, it was her first kiss in two lifetimes.


    However, she still couldn''t beat this guy!


    "Seal a seal, you will be my man from now on." Di Mo Jiu looked at Jun Qiyan who was on the verge of exploding, his thin lips slightly curled up as the depths of his eyes became as deep as a crystal, making one unable to see through to the end.


    Jun Qiyan lightly frowned; he was truly a demon!


    If such a monster were in the modern world, it would have been a disaster for a pure and virtuous girl.


    "If that''s the case, in the future, if you encounter any danger, I will immediately come and save you."


    Hearing this, Jun Qiyan''s eyes revealed a strange light, but before he could express his gratitude, Di Mo and Nine Transformations followed up with a few words of thanks.


    "After all, you are this sovereign''s food."


    Jun Qiyan "¡­"


    She swore that if she had the strength to do so, she would beat this fellow until even her own mother wouldn''t be able to recognize him!


    "Di Mo Jiu."


    Di Mo Jiu spat out these three words, with a smile on his face, he said, "The real body''s name."


    "Jun Qiyan."


    Jun Qiyan tilted his head. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to confess his identity.


    Her principle had always been to doubt others and not use them.


    This was the first scene in which the two foxes knew each other. It was also the beginning of the road of deceit and deceit.


    "Miss, something terrible has happened! "Third Prince, Third Prince, he ¡­"


    Just as Jun Qiyan entered the room, she saw Bi Yun rushing towards her.


    "Speak properly, what happened to the third prince?" Jun Qiyan''s gaze turned sharp as he asked in a low voice.


    "The Third Prince wants to break off the engagement with you, and he also wants to be engaged to the Second Miss!"


    Bi Yun cried out, "Miss, what do you think we should do ¡­"


    It could be said that the reason why the Jun Family had kept Jun Qiyan for so long was because of their engagement with the Third Prince.


    "Get up!" Jun Qiyan pulled Bi Yun up from the ground with an expression of unfathomable meaning on her face.


    "You''ve come at the right time. From today onwards, Bi Yun will not let us suffer any more bullying."


    Jun Qiyan flicked the dust off Bi Yun''s body with her slender fingers as she lowered her voice with an ice-cold glint in her eyes.


    "Miss ¡­"


    Bi Yun looked at Jun Qianyan in a daze, not knowing that her young miss had already changed her soul.


    "Eldest Miss, the Madam wants you to go to the main hall."


    An old man leaned his back against the wall, contempt written all over his face.


    "If you want me to go, then I will go. Then wouldn''t I lose a lot of face?" Jun Qiyan looked at the elderly man outside her room. Her eyes were slightly narrowed, and a sinister light shone in them.


    As far as she could remember, Jun Qiyan had suffered quite a bit from Senior Servant Gui.


    "Eldest Miss, if you don''t praise me like this, then I''ll have to ''invite'' you over myself." Senior Servant Gui looked contemptuously at the person in front of her.


    Although Senior Servant Gui called herself a servant, there wasn''t the slightest hint of respect on her face. Her actions were even more impudent. She reached out her hand to grab Jun Qiyan''s collar.


    Jun Qiyan''s sharp eyes narrowed. A mere servant actually dared to make a move against her! How reckless.


    Jun Qiyan threw himself over his shoulder, and with a ''kacha'' sound, Senior Servant Gui''s strong arm was dislocated.


    That would be clean and direct.


    "Bi Yun, let''s go. In the future, if you like biting dogs like this, beat each other whenever you see one!" Jun Qiyan sternly said as she looked at Bi Yun, who was standing rooted to the spot in a daze.


    When Jun Qiyan arrived at the main hall, the hall was already filled with people. The ones sitting in the main seat were the Third Prince and Di Yeming.


    The man had a pair of narrow and beautiful eyes, looking extremely charming. He wore bright yellow clothes, and on them was embroidered the totem of a dragon.


    Even though the Third Prince was one of the most treasured sons of the current emperor, he was also the best candidate for the throne.


    However, he was not the crown prince after all. It could be said that he was extremely ambitious to openly dress up like this.


    Seated next to Di Yeming were the current patriarchs of the Jun Family, Jun Zhentian and Jun Yanran.


    "Jun Zhentian, you really do have a good daughter." Di Yaming looked at Jun Qiyan''s small face with a look of disgust.


    Everyone in the capital knew about his fiancee, who was lying on the streets with her clothes all messed up. Everyone knew that he, Di Yeming, had a green grassland on his head!


    When Jun Zhentian heard this, he broke out in a cold sweat before angrily berating Jun Qiyan,


    "You damned girl, hurry up and apologize to His Highness!"


    Jun Qianyan''s clear eyes looked straight at Jun Zhentian, "What have I done wrong?"


    As the sound of his voice faded, the air turned deathly silent.


    Jun Zhentian immediately roared in anger, "Stop messing around! You made His Highness wait so long, do you still have any reason? "


    Jun Zhentian was extremely scared, what exactly was going on with this stinking girl?! He dared to openly oppose the crown prince? That was a matter of imperial power! Did he want to drag them down with him or not?!


    "You seem to have gotten something wrong." Jun Qiyan''s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly.


    Facing his so-called father, Jun Qianyan, he had no feelings whatsoever. The original owner had lived for fourteen years, and the number of times he had met his so-called father could be counted with a finger.

 C8 Heres a room for you

    "Firstly, you invited me here. "Secondly, I came late because Senior Servant Gui, who''s sitting next to Second Miss, wanted to fight me."


    With these words, the seemingly obedient Jun Yanran at the side was pulled down.


    Di Yaming looked at Jun Qianyan with a pair of deep eyes, frowned slightly and said, "You are sharp with your teeth and sharp with your tongue. You are just like a shrew."


    An almost imperceptible expression of pride appeared on Jun Yanran''s face. Her eyes seemed to be saying to Jun Qiyan, "Do you see that? No matter what, Your Highness wants to protect me!"


    "Today, I have come to announce something." Di Yaming fiddled with the two Night Pearls in his hand and looked straight at Jun Qianyan, as if he was trying to figure out some trick from them.


    However, the girl''s cold eyes were like lake water, calm and clear, without any signs of panic.


    "Little De, proclaim the decree."


    "I am under the blessing of the heavens. The emperor is here. The young miss of the Jun Family, Jun Qianyan, is doing an improper thing ¡­" "In this case, the marriage of a man and a woman has nothing to do with each other."


    "In accordance with the heaven''s will, the imperial edict, the second young miss of the Jun Family, Jun Yanran, is virtuous and virtuous ¡­" We hereby grant you our marriage. "


    The two royal decrees formed a massive impact, and at that instant, the sounds of flattery from the crowd could be heard incessantly.


    Jun Qiyan''s eyes were as cold as ice. The death of the original owner had been caused by these two! Both sides of Jun Qianyan tightly clenched their fists. Once she regained her strength, this debt of blood would definitely be paid back in blood.


    Jun Yanran''s face was red with embarrassment, and her hands were tightly holding onto her handkerchief. Her unintentional actions betrayed her current excitement.


    "Brother Ye Ming ~" Jun Yanran affectionately called out Di Yaming''s name, her voice was so loud that it sounded like it could drown someone out.


    "Alright, alright!" Shen Shuyi, who had been silent all this time, immediately stood up. Her old face was brimming with a joyful smile.


    She seemed to be the kind mother who had found a good husband for her daughter.


    Di Yaming didn''t know why, but he felt sorry for this girl who was standing alone in front of him without any help.


    It was as if something was about to break out from his mind.


    "Jun Qiyan, you really want to marry me, right?" Di Yeming walked down from his seat, put his charming and handsome face close to Jun Qiyan''s ear and continued,


    "I am not an unreasonable person. As long as you answer a few questions for me, I can give you a room."


    Di Yeming looked at Jun Qiyan arrogantly, with a condescending look on his face.


    Jun Qiyan suddenly felt nauseous. The status of a concubine was somewhat higher than that of a servant. Even if she was a good-for-nothing, she could still be considered as the legitimate eldest daughter of a young miss.


    This so-called Third Prince was clearly humiliating her!


    The corner of Jun Qiyan''s lips curled up in a smile, and she gave off a peerless smile. Her originally unassuming little face now seemed to possess some sort of magic that made it seem as if it was captivating.


    "Your Highness, you, what did you say?!" Jun Qiyan suddenly looked extremely surprised.


    The light in Di Ye''s eyes dimmed. He didn''t know why, but he felt that this little girl couldn''t say anything good.


    "Your Highness, you don''t have to worry. Even if you didn''t do anything, Yanran would never have stepped forward." Jun Qiyan wore a serious expression on his face. It seemed as if he was really helping Di Yaming solve his problem.


    "You! What nonsense are you spouting! " Jun Yanran''s face immediately flushed red.


    Jun Qiyan shrugged his shoulders helplessly as he spoke with an innocent expression, "His Highness said so."


    Di Yuming looked at Jun Qiyan with a puzzled expression.


    If he denied it, it would be an indirect admission that he had said he didn''t want to say anything.


    If she admitted it, then it would be even worse. She really was a sharp girl!


    "Let''s go!" Di Yeming said to Little De with a darkened face.


    Jun Zhentian turned to look at the receding figure of Di Yaming, and began angrily scolding Jun Qiyan,


    "You damn girl, what nonsense are you spouting?!"


    Jun Qiyan shrugged and said innocently, "That''s what His Highness told me. He also said he was worried that he wouldn''t be able to satisfy his sister in the future."


    "You! You little slut, how could your highness not raise it! " As soon as Di Yaming left, Jun Yanran''s pawns and fangs were revealed. She looked at Jun Yunxiao with a twisted expression, as if she wanted to devour him alive.


    "I really gave birth to a trash like you. I should have strangled you to death back then!" Shen Shuyi looked at Jun Qiyan in disgust.


    As a young miss of a noble family, her looks and talent were quite good. Then, she married into the Jun Family. This caused many people to be envious of her.


    However, her perfect life had been ruined by this piece of trash, Jun Qiyan!


    Jun Qiyan laughed softly as she looked at the family of men, each of them looking like they wanted to die.


    Seeing that Shen Shuyi''s palm was about to land on him, Jun Feiyan''s eyes became as cold as ice, causing chills to run down one''s spine.


    A powerful voice broke the silence in the air.


    "I do want to see who my darling granddaughter is going to bully!"


    An old man stood at the entrance with his hands behind his back. His pair of old eyes seemed to be able to see through everything in the world.


    "Shuyi, what are you doing?"


    the old man asked as he glanced at Shen Shuyi''s hands.


    "Father, we ¡­ we are playing with Qiyan here."


    Just these words caused Shen Shuyi to break out in cold sweat. The powerful aura actually made her unable to stand up!


    Jun Qiyan looked at the old man beside him in a daze.


    Jun Xuanfeng was the grandfather of the original owner, and one of the people in this enormous family who truly cared about Jun Qiyan.


    Moreover, the ancestor of the Jun Family had reached the Core Formation stage and could be considered one of the top experts in the Eastern Tomb Kingdom.


    "Hmph, are you kidding me? Do you think you can fool an old man like me?! " Jun Xuanfeng sneered.


    He then turned around and said to Jun Qiyan, "Rest assured, your grandfather has come back. He will not let anyone bully you."


    He then turned to look at Shen Shuyi and the rest.


    She was clearly Jun Xuanfeng''s granddaughter as well, but her grandfather had never liked her since he was young. On the contrary, he was extremely concerned about this trash, Jun Qianyan.


    "Girl, tell me for yourself, is anyone bullying you?" Jun Xuanfeng pulled Jun Qiyan down beside him and said.


    When Shen Shuyi heard her words, she immediately tensed up. She stared at Jun Qianyan and thought to herself, ''Damn girl, if you dare to spout such nonsense, you''re dead meat!''


    If it were in the past, Shen Shuyi would naturally not be afraid. However, this girl had become very strange recently. It was as if she had become a completely different person ¡­


    It was as if Jun Qianyan did not see the warning in Shen Shuyi''s eyes. She looked at Jun Xuanfeng with a flower-like smile.


    "Grandfather, everyone treats me very well."


    With these words, the air turned deathly silent.


    Jun Xuanfeng frowned; he obviously didn''t believe Jun Qiyan''s words.


    "Don''t be afraid of me, I won''t let you suffer even if I put my old bones on the line."


    Jun Xuanfeng only thought that Jun Qiyan was threatened and didn''t dare to say it out loud.

 C11 Lets go young lord Isll take you to the brothel!

    "What''s wrong?" Di Mo Jiu''s low and deep voice sounded in Jun Qiyan''s ear.


    Jun Qiyan suddenly felt like crying, but there were no tears. If it was a woman, she would be so happy to take off in such a beautiful night.


    However, she was Jun Qiyan. In Jun Qianyan''s eyes, beauty was the cheapest thing. In front of great strength, beauty wasn''t even worth mentioning.


    Moreover, with such an eye-catching appearance, he would be discovered no matter where he went, even though his disguise technique was already at a level that was almost at the same level as a god.


    However, it was still not enough to meet an expert like Di Mo Jiu.


    "Sure, why not?" Jun Qiyan forced out a smile, but that smile was even uglier than a cry.


    Di Mo Jiu''s brows twitched as he obviously did not believe Jun Qiyan''s words.


    "If I go out like this, I''ll definitely be surrounded and watched like a monkey."


    Jun Qiyan had a mournful face, and an excessively delicate face was filled with unhappiness at this moment.


    It was unknown that Di Mo Jiu had heard those words, but his originally smiling face instantly turned gloomy.


    After that, Di Mo Jiu waved his hand and a cloud of purple powder fell onto Jun Qiyan''s face. "Wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuu ¡­"


    The girl with the delicate face returned to her ordinary appearance.


    Di Mo Jiu''s sword-like eyebrows slightly raised, he seemed very satisfied with his masterpiece.


    Di Mo Jiu stared at Jun Qianyan like she was staring at a dark night; he had obviously never heard of the term "idol" before.


    "A person that I admire a lot!" Jun Qiyan chuckled as he explained.


    Di Mo Jiu was stunned on the spot. He covered his face, coughed and changed the topic:


    "Try your current cultivation speed."


    When it came to cultivation, Jun Qiyan put away her frivolous expression.


    Jun Qiyan felt exceptionally comfortable as she entered the spirit spring water of the Nuwa Stone.


    Little Hairy Ball wanted to go in as well, but was stopped by Di Mo Jiu.


    "Be good, don''t go in and disturb mother''s cultivation." The corners of Di Mo Jiu''s mouth raised into an evil grin.


    He then transformed into a snow fox and quietly laid on the bed, waiting for the woman to come out.


    As Jun Qiyan sat in the spring, she felt waves of spirit power rushing into her body through her pores.


    This was a feeling she had never felt before in her two lives.


    Qi Disciple level 1, Qi Disciple level 2...


    The spirit energy fluctuations caused the spring water in the spirit spring to surge with layers of blooming flowers.


    Jun Qiyan didn''t know how long she had been inside, and only knew that her body was feeling extremely relaxed.


    A violent wind raged inside the Nuwa Stone, and a gigantic vortex of spirit energy formed with Jun Qiyan at the center of the spirit pond.


    Jun Qiyan frowned, a faint golden light swirling around her.


    After an unknown period of time, Jun Qiyan slowly opened her eyes. The golden Devil''s Snare flower was faintly discernible between her eyebrows, and it looked incomparably demonic.


    An ancient yet dignified magical formation appeared beneath Jun Qiyan''s feet, one by one.


    The corners of Jun Qiyan''s lips curled up. She could clearly feel the Spiritual Energy fluctuations within her dantian.


    Qi Disciple level 3 ¡­


    Jun Qiyan raised her fist and concentrated all the spirit energy in her right hand, and then suddenly shot it towards the stone behind her.


    Boom!


    In the blink of an eye, a rock that was as big as Jun Qiyan had been blasted into smithereens.


    However, there wasn''t the slightest scratch on Jun Qianyan''s white hands.


    This was spiritual energy!


    Jun Qiyan pursed her lips in satisfaction. What a long-awaited power!


    "Too weak."


    He saw a Snow Fox lying on the side of the spirit pond. Its eyes were half closed as it stared lazily at the pile of shattered rocks. That look gave Jun Qianyan a sense of familiarity.


    The corners of Jun Qiyan''s mouth stiffened. The smile on her face had frozen in place, making her seem somewhat eerie.


    "Ninth Master?" Jun Qiyan asked in a daze, her red lips slightly parted.


    The Snow Fox raised its claws in tacit agreement.


    Jun Qiyan looked at Di Mo Jiu in astonishment, her expression somewhat sluggish.


    "You ¡­"


    As soon as Jun Qianyan finished speaking, the Snow Fox suddenly froze. Then, she said a bit awkwardly,


    "This sovereign will rest here for a few days in the near future."


    The Snow Fox raised its head. Its blood-red eyes seemed to be filled with endless charm.


    Jun Qiyan immediately broke out in a cold sweat. Why did she have the feeling that if she refused it herself, her life would be in danger?


    Jun Qiyan dryly laughed. Just as he was about to say something, he was rejected by Di Mo Jiu.


    "Of course, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, during this period of time, I will transform into a snow fox."


    Di Mo Jiu''s voice was as loud as it could be, as if he was giving alms to Ji Hao.


    Three black lines appeared on the top of Jun Qiyan''s head.


    The Snow Fox shook its fluffy ears, and started to disseminate the basic knowledge of the Eastern Xuan Continent to the woman in front of it.


    "The East Xuan Continent mainly cultivates spiritual energy, and its levels are divided into Qi Cultivation, Foundation Establishment, Xiantian, Jindan, Nascent Soul, Soul Formation, Anti-Void, Fusion, Large Success, Tribulation, True Immortal, and other levels."


    "A Nascent Soul Stage powerhouse has a shrewd mind, and a shrewd mind is equivalent to a secret realm. After every Nascent Soul Stage powerhouse perishes, a secret realm will be born, and there will be inheritances within."


    "Later on, you can enter. Of course, there are also those in the secret realm. The experiences and experiences of experts who go through tribulations, there are some academies that let their students enter into cultivation."


    "When they reach the Spirit Severing stage, it will be a turning point. Spirit Severing experts will become demigods and they will experience the ascension of thunder tribulation.


    Only after reaching true Immortal Ascension will you become a Deity. You will live the same life as the Heavens, and receive limitless longevity!


    The Snow Fox leaped into Jun Qiyan''s arms. Her snow-white fox claws gracefully fell on Jun Qiyan''s arms.


    The enchanting voice cut through the air and reached Jun Qiyan''s ears.


    The corner of Jun Qiyan''s mouth twitched as he stiffly hugged a lump in his arms.


    The woman coughed and tried to divert her attention.


    "Nascent Soul Stage experts are invincible existences in the Eastern Xuan Continent, and those old freaks would usually go into seclusion, so the Golden Core Stage is the highest stage people know about.


    "The reason why the Jun Family is known as a super family is because of grandpa."


    "Furthermore, Jun Yanran is a level three Qi Cultivating Stage cultivator at the age of sixteen, she can be considered one of the top disciples of the younger generation. That day, she saw Uncle Liu at level five Qi Cultivating Stage and was known as an expert."


    "Even the most talented and talented Emperor Ye Ming of the Eastern Tomb Kingdom has only just broken through to the peak of the Sixth Stage of Qi Cultivating Stage."


    The woman''s eyes were full of anticipation. With a few words, she summed up their strengths one by one.


    "Don''t compare yourself to those ants." Di Mo Jiu glanced at Jun Qiyan indifferently.


    Jun Qiyan stuck out his tongue.


    "You should cultivate properly in the future. After breaking through the Qi Cultivation Stage, I will give you a set of cultivation technique." Di Mo Jiu thought for a moment and said.


    Jun Qiyan nodded, secretly delighted in his heart.

 C12 This is bullying?

    "Gulp ¡­"


    A voice rang out at an inappropriate time, causing Jun Qianyan to rub her hair awkwardly.


    In his heart, he silently despised his stomach for being disappointing.


    The night was as cold as water. A veiled woman appeared in the biggest restaurant in the capital.


    The man was wearing a black cloak. There was a black veil over his face. She only revealed a pair of flirtatious eyes.


    The girl held a Snow Fox in her arms. That Snow Fox''s eyes were half closed, and there was a dark red beard on the corner of its mouth. Its blood-red eyes seemed to be able to see through one''s heart.


    Jun Qiyan stroked the snow-white fur of the fox without batting an eyelid; his expression was dark and unclear.


    The Wind Cloud Restaurant was one of the most famous industries in the East Xuan Continent. The scope of the profession involved was beyond the imagination of others.


    "Give me a room." Jun Qiyan''s beautiful eyes casually swept over her surroundings.


    Red brick with green tiles. The door plaque had the design of a crane flying through it. The ground was cut with fine white jade. Two huge pillars supported the roof from both sides of the hall.


    The pillars were carved with dragons and phoenixes, each carving was vivid and lifelike, faintly revealing the majesty of a primordial divine beast.


    The manager of the front desk handed over a bunch of golden keys.


    As soon as Jun Qiyan received the key, a familiar voice sounded in his ears.


    "In the private room."


    Jun Qiyan''s body stiffened as the corners of her mouth curled into a slight smile. This was really a narrow path for enemies ¡­


    The owner of that voice was none other than the person who had spoken to him not long ago, Di Yeming.


    "Sorry, the last room has already been booked by this guest."


    The steward said with an expressionless face. He didn''t flatter Ye Xiwen in the slightest because he was a disciple of the royal family.


    As the prince of a country, he naturally wouldn''t be able to rest in the great hall.


    Di Yaming turned his gaze in the direction of Jun Qiyan.


    "Please wait a moment."


    Jun Yanran''s voice was slightly raised, her melodious voice was like the flowing water of the mountains, causing people to feel comfortable listening to her.


    Jun Qiyan raised an eyebrow. Weren''t they all here?


    "Your Excellency, would you mind giving us your private room? I''m Jun Yanran from the Jun Family." Jun Yanran''s tone could be stretched out.


    Following which, he proudly stuck out his chest, like a peacock who had just won.


    "I''m willing to buy your room for three times the price." Jun Yanran''s face was full of smiles.


    As expected, the moment Jun Yanran finished her sentence, the surrounding seemed to have exploded into an uproar.


    Everyone was sighing at the Jun Family''s wealth and grandeur.


    Jun Qiyan lowered his eyes and sneered.


    "Jun Yanran, I''ve never heard of you." Jun Qiyan said in a serious tone, his head tilted to the side.


    He saw the confident expression on the other party''s face collapse in an instant.


    A few days ago, if there were people who did not know who she was, that would have been acceptable. But not long ago, when he became the future third imperial concubine, there was no one who did not know about him.


    Jun Yanran''s eyes were frosty, but she still wore a smile on her face.


    "The people behind me are the third prince of the Eastern Tomb Kingdom and the young masters of the other families ¡­"


    Jun Yanran did not finish her words, but the threatening look in her eyes was clear.


    In other words, if Jun Qiyan didn''t hand over her room, then there would be no place for her in the Eastern Tomb Kingdom in the future.


    Jun Qiyan looked behind Jun Yanran.


    Sure enough, Di Yeming, Nangong Xu, Gu Yao, Murong Xuan.


    The four of them stood behind Jun Yanran.


    Gu Yao was wearing a long red robe with a golden lining on the cuffs. A row of delicate collars leaked out from his partially opened collar.


    Her charming peach blossom eyes narrowed, and her thin lips curled up into a faint smile, giving off an extremely dangerous feeling.


    The bottom of Jun Qiyan''s clear eyes were indifferent, as if the sky falling down had nothing to do with her.


    What an interesting girl!


    For some unknown reason, upon seeing the calmness in the eyes of the crowd, Gu Yao wanted nothing more than to shatter it.


    Jun Qiyan narrowed his cold eyes, a trace of disdain flashing through them.


    "Oh? Are you trying to bully someone with your power? "


    With these words, Jun Yanran''s face became extremely ugly as if she had eaten sh * t.


    And yet, she couldn''t refute him!


    After all, he had mentioned their identities time and time again.


    The main hall of the Wind Cloud Restaurant was where the commoners gathered. Perhaps because they were lacking in mentality, these people could only be arrogant and despotic children from influential families.


    "Pfft, I''m just relying on my own power."


    "That''s right, what kind of son of heaven would commit the same crime as a commoner? I think it''s just a lie!"


    "Isn''t this Jun Family''s Third Young Miss famous for being virtuous and virtuous?" I don''t think it''s anything more than a shrew. "


    The surrounding voices were getting more and more unpleasant to hear.


    Di Yeming knitted his brows as his expression turned as dark as the bottom of a pot. His gaze towards Jun Yanran also became a bit sharper.


    As she felt Di Yaming''s sharp gaze, Jun Yanran felt like she was looking at a new target.


    Just as she wanted to explain, she was interrupted by Emperor Ye Ming.


    "Enough! Aren''t you ashamed of yourself?! "


    Di Yaming''s voice was so gloomy that it seemed as if water would drip out of it. Her face was covered in dark clouds, and his eyes looked as if they would swallow Jun Yanran alive.


    This stupid woman!


    Right now, he was at the crucial moment of the election. The hearts of the people that he had tried so hard to win over were all destroyed by this woman. How could he tolerate this!


    Jun Yanran was obviously unaware of the severity of the problem. Her eyes were watery, as if she had been greatly wronged.


    Di Yaming took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart. However, no matter how he looked at Jun Yanran''s face, he could not help but feel disgusted.

 C13 Baji snake

    "Just how stupid are you to fall into the hands of that woman?"


    Di Mo Jiu curled his lips, if it was Di Mo Jiu in his human form, he would definitely look extremely arrogant and disdainful.


    Earlier on, he had already ordered his men to investigate Jun Qianyan and thoroughly understand her background.


    To Di Mo Jiu, it didn''t matter how Jun Qiyan used to look, as long as she wasn''t a coward anymore.


    Jun Qiyan embarrassedly touched the tip of his nose. In the past, Jun Qianyan was a useless and useless person, but now, she was a powerful soul that could see through the cold and warmth of the human world.


    "Mother, mother."


    In the middle of the Nuwa Stone, the ball suddenly bounced up and down excitedly as it kept calling out to Jun Qiyan with its divine sense.


    "Mother, there is an ancient aura here."


    Jun Qiyan was stunned. Ancient Grand Desolation?


    The so-called primordial era was something that had existed since the creation of Pangu''s World.


    However, all the ancient creatures had long since disappeared after the Great War of Gods and Demons. The remaining creatures had all fallen into a deep slumber.


    Jun Qiyan hesitantly put out the ball and asked in an incredulous tone,


    "You can sense the power of the Ancient Desolation?"


    The ball bounced up and down in Jun Qiyan''s palm, and she said with an excited expression:


    "The Nuwa Stone was a divine artifact left behind by Lord Nuwa during the primordial era, and I was even created from a mouthful of his spiritual energy."


    "That''s why I''m so sensitive to the ancient auras. Ever since the war between the Demons and Gods over ten thousand years ago, I haven''t felt such a familiar aura for a long time!"


    The ball bounced back and forth.


    Seeing Jun Qiyan''s surprised expression, Di Mo Jiu opened his mouth to speak.


    "Things from the ancient era, whether it''s divine beasts or weapons, will be of great help to you."


    Jun Qiyan looked at Di Mo Jiu with a burning gaze. Something that had been acknowledged by the Ninth Master was definitely not ordinary.


    She didn''t like anything, her only hobby was to like treasures.


    "Ball, can you sense the position?"


    "It''s possible!"


    Balls nodded quickly, and gave Jun Qi directions.


    Jun Qiyan looked at the dark path in front of him and felt three black lines appear above his head.


    If her family''s Ninth Elder hadn''t told her that it was this route, Jun Qiyan would''ve suspected that the ball was faulty.


    The dark path became narrower and narrower, finally forcing the thin man to walk sideways.


    Jun Qiyan''s brows were tightly knitted together. A great deal of moss had rubbed against her clothes.


    The green, sticky substance gave off a very disgusting feeling.


    Finally, Jun Qiyan caught sight of an old, worn out door. There was a thick layer of dust on top of the doorknob.


    Jun Qiyan tried to push open the door, but a layer of blinding white light leaked out. Jun Qiyan''s pupils constricted as she looked in disbelief at the scene before her.


    The huge space was large enough to hold more than ten thousand people. It was filled with people screaming in excitement and the angry roars of wild beasts.


    The sky above was paved with countless Night Pearls, making the night as bright as day.


    If anyone else were to enter this place, they would definitely not have expected such a scene.


    After all, no one would believe that there was a colossal colosseum behind the old and broken door, let alone that the colosseum was built in the depths of the earth.


    Looking at the four words "Storm Arena" hanging on the wall, Jun Qiyan was lost in thought.


    "Mother, mother! That''s the one!"


    Pointing the ball at the spirit beast that was a thousand meters away, her small white face was suffused with a red glow of excitement.


    Jun Qiyan looked in the direction the ball was pointing. Inside the small cage was a worm that was only as thick as Jun Qiyan''s pinky. It didn''t look impressive at all.


    "This should be one of the ancient beasts, the Octadic Snake."


    A strange look flashed across Di Mo Jiu''s face. There was actually such a vicious beast in the mortal world.


    Presumably, they were lucky enough to survive the war between the gods and devils. After sleeping for nearly ten thousand years, they were caught by humans before they could even regain their strength ¡­


    Standing in the middle was a woman with a hot body and revealing clothing. She was the manager of the Wind Cloud Restaurant, Mei Niang.


    Mei Niang was wearing a red veil that only covered her private parts.


    The white rabbit that was on the verge of bursting out from her chest caused others to feel their blood rushing to their heads. Jun Qiyan silently looked at the flat land in front of her chest.


    As a woman, why was there such a huge difference?!


    With just a few words from Mei Niang, the atmosphere in the hall reached its climax.


    The rules of the Beast Battling Arena differed from those of the other beast fighting arenas. All of the participants in the other beast fighting arenas were either slaves or exiled children of aristocratic families.


    However, most of the guests in the Monster Arena were guests. According to one''s strength, one could challenge any spirit beast in the Monster Arena.


    As long as they could tame it, the Wind Cloud Beast Battling Arena would give them unconditionally.


    Of course, if one wanted to go on stage, they would have to sign a Life Death Contract.


    The moment Mei Niang finished her sentence, the audience exploded into deafening laughter.


    "Hahahaha, I''m afraid Mei Niang is not crazy. Giant python, I can crush a little green snake like that with one finger."


    "Isn''t the Beast Battling Arena obviously giving me money?"


    Most of them were disdainful and ridiculing him.


    The corner of Mei Niang''s mouth raised slightly, then she said loudly, "You can bet now."


    Jun Qiyan was also bewildered.


    "That cage has a binding power, and there are countless inscriptions on it. Right now, its size is not even the size of its teeth at its peak."


    Di Mo Jiu looked at the incomparably violent Green Snake in the cage, his face flashed with a trace of helplessness.


    Who would have thought that the majestic vicious beasts that fought in the Divine Demon Battlefield would become a tool for people to earn money ten thousand years later?


    After a short bet, it was time for a massacre.


    The podium in the middle gradually retreated to the ground, and the cage holding Green Snake slowly opened.


    A small green snake slowly crawled out from the middle. The small green snake and the muscular man stood together, creating a huge visual impact.


    Everyone was waiting for Green Snake to be killed in an instant.


    The instant that green snake crawled out of the cage, the tiny green snake began to grow at the speed of light.


    In the blink of an eye.


    The green snake astonishingly turned into a giant python at least a hundred feet high. An enormous pressure came crashing over in all directions.


    There was a moment of silence.

 C14 My king will not yield his people to man

    The cultivator who had stabilized his base was currently trembling all over. His crotch was covered in filth, and his pale face had long since lost its previous high-spirited look.


    "The original body of the Octadic Snake is three times bigger than it is now." Ball looked at Jun Qiyan''s shocked expression and kindly explained.


    A trace of fanaticism flashed across Jun Qiyan''s face. To her, magical beasts and spirit beasts were the same, as long as they were strong enough to be loyal to their masters.


    The python on the stage opened its bloody maw, baring its huge fangs. The people who were originally standing on the stage had now become the food in the stomach of the python.


    "Alright!"


    A burst of cheers burst out from the audience stands. No one remembered the solid foundation cultivator. The people here only wanted excitement.


    "Is there anyone here who wants to challenge us again?"


    Mei Niang''s figure appeared in front of everyone''s eyes once again.


    Everyone in the audience looked at each other. No one dared to step forward.


    After all, it was one thing for others to be eaten by a giant python while it was another for himself to be eaten by a giant python.


    "You go up." Di Mo Jiu''s eyes flashed with a light.


    Jun Qiyan swallowed his saliva, and looked at Di Mo Jiu as if he was looking at a fool.


    An ancient vicious beast was a good thing, but she also needed her life.


    Di Mo Jiu rolled his eyes and said, "Don''t worry, I won''t let you die for nothing."


    Mei Niang''s eyes swept across the crowd below. Just as she was about to announce the end of the match, a petite figure suddenly stood up.


    "Me."


    Jun Qiyan gritted his teeth as he stepped forward.


    Mei Niang looked at Jun Qiyan in surprise. Her frail figure stood amidst the crowd, appearing extremely inconspicuous.


    Everyone had a look of pity on their faces. Everyone thought that Jun Qiyan had gone mad. Even a solid foundation expert had been swallowed up by the giant python in a single gulp, let alone a small Qi Cultivating Stage cultivator.


    Mei Niang was also a little confused as she asked again, "Are you sure you want to try taming the Nine Serenities Python?"


    Jun Qiyan''s gaze was clear as she stared fixedly at Green Snake who was once again imprisoned within the cage.


    Their four eyes seemed to have produced different sparks as they looked at each other.


    "Yes, I''m sure."


    The Octadic Snake looked at Jun Qianyan''s petite figure and slightly disdainfully turned the snake''s head to the side. Yet another reckless human!


    Seeing Jun Qiyan''s persistent look, Mei Niang did not say anything else immediately.


    When Jun Qiyan arrived at the center of the ring, his wide surroundings gave off an extreme sense of shock.


    The giant serpent stood proudly before Jun Qiyan''s eyes, like a towering mountain.


    The tail of the Octane Snake swept across in an attempt to pull Jun Qiyan down into its stomach.


    As everyone looked at the scene on the field, they could only sigh to themselves. He was only 14 or 15 years old, yet he had already reached the 3rd stage of Qi Disciple stage. This was already extremely rare.


    In the future, if he was properly nurtured, he might even become an Aurous Core stage expert.


    However, with such impatience, even if he did not die here, he would not be able to accomplish much in the future.


    When everyone thought that blood was going to splash out on the spot, Jun Feiyan''s figure weirdly avoided the attack.


    As an ancient beast, the power of the Octadic Snake had suffered a huge blow to its body. It flicked its tongue and tried to bite Jun Qiyan into pieces.


    "Bastard, how dare you be so impudent in front of this sovereign?"


    Di Mo Jiu''s pair of blood-red eyes shone with a red light.


    The figure of the Octadic Snake froze. That voice seemed to carry some kind of special power that directly intruded into the deepest memories within him.


    The massacre ten thousand years ago and the king who commanded them, all of this quickly flashed through the mind of the Octadic Great Snake.


    That person''s soul had clearly been destroyed ¡­


    The face of the Octadic Snake was bewildered, but the memories that had fused with his blood and bones were so vivid.


    "Sign a contract with her."


    Di Mo Jiu continued to lure them.


    The body of the Octopus Snake shook for a moment, then it abruptly came back to its senses.


    It looked at the two in front of it with vigilance. The pressure on its body suddenly increased as the pressure from the ancient beasts rolled over.


    "My king will never allow his people to bow their heads to shameless humans!" The Octadic Snake suddenly went berserk, and a dark aura spread out from its surroundings.


    "Magical beasts ¡­ "That''s ¡­ that''s a magical beast!"


    When Mei Niang saw the Octadic Snake in the middle, her coquettish face instantly turned pale.


    Magical beasts were the most disliked existences in the Eastern Xuan Continent. The Great War of Gods and Demons from ten thousand years ago had left countless magical beasts in the human world.


    Magical beasts, on the other hand, would be hunted down and hunted down.


    Mei Niang had never thought that the spirit beast she captured so casually from the Howling Forest was a magical beast from the legends.


    If he did not handle this matter well, it would bring about a huge loss to the colosseum.


    Countless experts moved out from the Wind Cloud Tower simultaneously, surrounding the huge snake.


    However, the strength of this manic Octadic Snake was several times stronger than before.


    Countless cracks appeared on the surface of the vast earth, as though it was trying to divide itself into several worlds.


    Mei Niang was the first to bear the brunt of the attack. She forcefully restrained the head of the Octadic Great Snake.


    However, due to the huge consumption of spiritual energy, he couldn''t muster up any strength.


    In the end, the Octadic Snake had managed to break free from the encirclement of experts. Its enormous body moved at an unimaginable speed in the direction of Jun Qiyan.


    "Bastard, who are you? How dare you harm this senior''s person?"


    Di Mo Jiu suddenly left the embrace of Jun Qianyan, who was only two palm-sized snow foxes, at this moment.


    That pressure seemed to be on the verge of overpowering the Octadic Snake.


    The two powerful presences collided with each other. Those who didn''t have a solid foundation all vomited blood. Some even bled to the point of death from their eyes, ears, noses, and mouth.


    If Jun Qiyan wasn''t protected by the Nuwa Stone, his condition definitely wouldn''t have been any better than the others.


    The blood fox''s snow-white fur swayed in the wind as it leapt into the air. Enormous amounts of spirit energy condensed on its sharp claws as its petite body nimbly moved around the Octane Blast Snake.


    Its sharp claws left streaks of blood on the body of the Baji Snake ¡­


    Everyone was tongue-tied.


    The stinging pain on his body brought the huge snake back to its senses. He suddenly looked at Di Mo Jiu with tears in his eyes, then howled out in pain, "Boss!"


    The feeling of being slapped...


    This was clearly his boss!


    Di Mo Jiu coldly snorted, but he didn''t explain anything.


    "Sign a contract with her." Di Mo Jiu repeated.


    "Yes."


    The hulking head of the Octadic Snake respectfully lowered. Whatever its boss said would be the truth!


    Even though Jun Qianyan looked calm on the surface, his heart was like a surging tide that couldn''t be calmed for a long time. Everything before him was simply too dramatic.

 C15 Contract

    "With my blood, fuse with my soul. Together through life and death. Forever and for all eternity, you cannot betray me."


    The ancient contract formation appeared beneath the two of them, solemn and mysterious.


    Jun Qiyan floated in the air, her black hair fluttering in the wind.


    One after another, silver ancient inscriptions merged into the top of Jun Qiyan''s head.


    The power of the ancient era flowed all around her body as she received all the information from the Octadic Snake.


    Countless scenes flashed through Jun Qianyan''s mind, as if she was looking at a beautiful scenery while walking on a horse.


    Suddenly, a pair of captivating purple eyes appeared in Jun Qiyan''s mind.


    Ten thousand years in a single glance.


    During the process of forming a contract, a huge barrier would be formed. Even a Deity wouldn''t be able to shake it in the slightest.


    "From today onwards, your name is Fu Cheng."


    Outside of the spirit formation, everyone was looking at the people inside with extremely terrified gazes.


    It wasn''t uncommon for a human to contract a spirit beast, but a contract with a magical beast was unheard-of.


    At this moment, Mei Niang''s dark red lips were pressed into a straight line. The current situation was not something she could control.


    "Go get the owner." Mei Niang lowered her voice and said to the guard beside her.


    The moment the shadow guard disappeared, the strange demon in the air narrowed his eyes and looked at the people below.


    As an ancient fierce beast, the Octadic Snake couldn''t be underestimated.


    Since she was injured and much stronger than Jun Qianyan, her contract strength had also greatly increased. She had forcefully broken through from Qi Disciple level 3 to Qi Disciple level 5.


    The speed at which he advanced shocked everyone.


    "Damned woman!"


    The sound of grinding teeth resounded in Jun Qiyan''s mind.


    "Qi Cultivating Stage Five?!" The great Octadic Snake''s voice rang out once again, almost in disbelief.


    Jun Qiyan innocently blinked his eyes, his expression filled with innocence.


    A strong contract with a magical beast would allow the human race''s strength to take a qualitative leap. Similarly, if the human race was too small.


    The strength of the spirit beast would also decrease.


    This was exactly the situation with the Baji Snake.


    Fu Cheng spat out the tongue of his serpent, green light shining in his long and narrow eyes. His sharp fangs were faintly discernible, and he looked as if he wanted to swallow Jun Qianyan whole.


    Seeing the two of them interacting, Di Mo Jiu''s cold eyes swept over Fu Chen.


    Fu Chen''s expression stiffened. The corner of his mouth twitched, and he immediately retracted his fiendish appearance, immediately turning into a docile little sheep.


    Jun Qiyan couldn''t help but sigh at the importance of power.


    The power of the barrier slowly receded. One man and two beasts stood in the center, completely surrounded by three layers.


    Jun Qiyan looked around, then looked at Mei Niang who was in front of him.


    "What does Mei Niang mean by this?"


    Jun Qiyan sneered, and spoke with an ice-cold glint in his eyes.


    "Hand over the magical beast behind you." There was no doubt in Mei Niang''s eyes.


    Jun Qiyan sneered as her eyes drooped. She spoke with slight disdain.


    "This one doesn''t understand what Mei-niang is saying." Jun Qiyan said with a faint smile.


    "The rules of the Beast Battling Arena are always the same. As long as you can subdue any living creature on the battlefield, you can bring them away. "Why is it not working at my place?"


    Jun Qianyan''s eyes were shining as she spoke. Her tone of voice was mighty and carried an imposing aura, even though she was not angry.


    Mei Niang was immediately a bit speechless.


    This rule was set by the owner himself. As a mere manager, she naturally had no right to change it.


    Furthermore, there were many non-spirit creatures in the colosseum, such as slaves or other living beings ¡­


    Thus, the rules became that all living beings could be taken away ¡­


    He just didn''t think that this woman would take the opportunity to play word games with her.


    Just as Mei Niang was about to flare up, a violent wind swept through the Beast Battling Arena, mixed with spirit energy.


    "Welcome, master."


    Everyone present bowed in worship, except Jun Qiyan, who stood to one side.


    "Stand up." The person who came was the owner of the Colosseum. He was dressed in a flowing white robe and a golden Mandala mask that covered most of his face.


    It gave off a mysterious and powerful feeling.


    In a split-second, Jun Qiyan''s whole body became vigilant. This so called "owner" only gave her a sense of power and danger.


    The person''s expression was dark and gloomy. He looked at Jun Feiyan indifferently, and then looked at the green snake wrapped around the girl''s arm.


    "Is this the magical beast you were talking about?" The man''s heavenly voice cut through the air and entered everyone''s ears.


    "Yes." Mei Niang respectfully lowered her head.


    There was a deathly silence.


    Cold sweat dripped from Jun Qiyan''s palms. If this so-called owner hadn''t come, she would still have 70% confidence that she could escape with her life intact ¡­


    But now, Jun Qiyan didn''t even have thirty percent ¡­


    "Let them go."


    The simple sentence was like a heavyweight bomb, exploding in everyone''s heart.


    Even Jun Qianyan looked somewhat disbelievingly at the person in front of him.


    "Owner, that''s a magical beast. If others were to find out that a magical beast had escaped from us ¡­"


    The man''s cold voice rang out again before Mei Niang could finish her sentence.


    "Let them go. The matter of the magical beasts is our fault. It has nothing to do with this fellow cultivator."


    Just as the man''s voice fell, a wide road appeared in front of Jun Qiyan''s eyes.


    Everyone immediately made way for him.


    The woman didn''t act pretentiously as she walked out of the animal fighting arena.


    A trace of unwillingness flashed across Mei Niang''s face as she watched Jun Qianyan leave.


    The woman looked at the man with a puzzled expression.


    That woman just now was only at Qi Disciple level 3. As for that magical beast, they had the strength to capture it, so they could naturally kill it.


    The owner seemed to be able to see through Mei Niang''s thoughts. He looked towards the direction that Jun Qiyan had left and said in a deep voice,


    "That magical beast is not an ordinary one. If I''m not wrong, it should be an ancient beast known as the Octadic Snake."


    During the War of Gods and Demons, he had killed countless spirit beasts, and a few of them had even fallen at the hands of the Octadic Snake.


    Even Mei Niang''s voice began to tremble. She forced herself to calm down and said, "Legend has it that the Octadic Snake is not made up of eight snake bodies ¡­"


    There was no trace of happiness or anger in the man''s voice, but he still had an indifferent expression, as if even if the sky were to collapse, it wouldn''t attract her attention in the slightest.


    "During the war between the gods and demons, the fallen demon god and the Octadic Snake also disappeared. They should be severely injured and unable to maintain their original bodies."


    "But even if that is the case, it is still not an existence that you and I can shake right now."

 C16 Enemies have a narrow road

    After leaving the colosseum, Jun Qiyan heaved a sigh of relief.


    She had never thought that the Octadic Snake would go berserk at such a critical moment, revealing her identity as a magical beast.


    Jun Qiyan touched the fox in her arms. She was about to say something when she realized that the little fox in her arms was listless.


    "Ninth Master?" A trace of nervousness flashed across Jun Qiyan''s face.


    Di Mo Jiu raised his eyes but didn''t say anything.


    After that, a layer of blinding white light surrounded the petite Snow Fox, and a tall figure appeared in front of Jun Qiyan.


    The man wore white clothes that were even whiter than snow, and his eyes that could move one''s soul were tightly shut. His face that seemed as sharp as a knife revealed a sense of exhaustion.


    Her pale lips showed the weakness of her master.


    "Damn woman, let me out!" Within his consciousness, Fu Cheng roared in Jun Qiyan''s ears as if he had gone mad.


    Jun Qiyan''s long and shapely eyebrows creased as she released Fu Cheng from the Nuwa Stone.


    "What happened to him?" Jun Qiyan bit her red lips, looking anxious.


    Fu Cheng took human form before Jun Qiyan''s eyes.


    The human form of the Octadic Snake was especially beautiful, its long black hair casually draped over its shoulders, and it only used a purple jade fork to comb it up.


    Under his shiny forehead was a pair of slanted eyebrows, the corners of his long and slender eyes slightly raised. It was both dangerous and noble.


    If such a devilish face were to be placed in the East Peak Mainland, it would definitely enchant a large group of girls.


    However, Jun Qiyan wasn''t in the mood to enjoy this visual feast. All of her attention was focused on Di Mo Jiu.


    As time passed, the expression on Fu Cheng''s face became increasingly gloomy.


    "Don''t you know that he has internal injuries? And he was actually allowed to act so recklessly. "


    Fu Cheng scolded Jun Qiyan angrily.


    And then he said to himself.


    "It''s all my fault. If I had discovered that Ninth Master was injured earlier, I wouldn''t have ¡­"


    Jun Qiyan had an ugly expression on his face. His face was scrunched up in remorse.


    "So noisy, is she something you can say?"


    Di Mo Jiu narrowed his eyes. Although he was currently very weak, his aura was not weakened because of this.


    Seeing Di Mo Jiu defending himself like this, Jun Qiyan''s mood was extremely complicated.


    Fu Cheng glared angrily at Jun Qianyan, and couldn''t help but mumble, "I really don''t know what kind of bewitching medicine that woman gave you."


    Jun Qiyan took in a deep breath, and didn''t bother arguing with each other.


    "Ball, how is the Ninth Master now?"


    There was a rare serious look on his face.


    "Daddy''s current state is not very optimistic. First, put daddy into the spirit pond, I will go check on the treatment method."


    Jun Qiyan nodded in agreement. At the moment, this was all he could do.


    When Jun Qiyan returned to the Jun residence, it was already close to evening.


    Jun Qiyan lowered her head, her entire mind was focused on Di Mo Jiu.


    "Get out of the way! Good dogs don''t block the way!"


    A sarcastic voice rang in Jun Qiyan''s ears.


    The corner of Jun Qiyan''s mouth curled up. The road to become enemies was really narrow.


    "What did you say?" I''m sorry a dog barked too loudly. I didn''t hear it clearly. "


    Jun Qianyan looked at Jun Yanran with a smile that was not a smile, as if she was looking at a clown.


    This road was the only way to get to the Jun residence. The road was wide enough for three or four carriages to pass through without a hitch.


    But Jun Yanran was determined to go against him, so she couldn''t blame her for being impolite.


    "You! Who are you calling a dog? " Jun Yanran''s beautiful little face instantly turned green and white in anger.


    "Whoever answered just now will be the one."


    "Puchi."


    Fu Chen held back his laughter. There was actually such a foolish woman in this world.


    Jun Yanran''s eyes were blazing with fire as she glared at Jun Yunyan. However, she didn''t dare to say anything else.


    She was well aware that the laughter had come from the mouth of the snake in the masked woman''s hand.


    According to her knowledge, spirit beasts with spiritual awareness that could understand human speech were all above the advanced level ¡­


    The magical beasts of the Eastern Xuan Continent were divided into levels one to twelve.


    Tier one to three are low tier spiritual beasts, and level three to six are medium tier magical beasts. A magical beast of the sixth to the ninth ranks was a high level magical beast, while a magical beast of the ninth rank or above was a Saint Beast, a God Beast, and a legendary magical beast.


    Even Jun Yanran''s father''s contracted spirit beast was only a seventh grade spirit beast, a Blood Moon Wolf.


    If it wasn''t for the fact that it was already late, she wouldn''t have minded Jun Yanran''s memory.


    The Jun Family was very strict. Without the permission of the matriarch, they were not allowed to step out of the house.


    There was no need to talk about the relationship between Jun Qiyan and Shen Shuyi. It was simply impossible for her to leave the house. As long as her so-called mother didn''t give her any trouble, she would thank the heavens and earth.


    Even though her grandfather had come out of seclusion, and Shen Shuyi did not dare to openly oppose him, Jun Qiyan still did not wish for Jun Xuanfeng to worry about her.


    After Jun Qiyan climbed over the wall and entered the Jun residence, he went straight to his room.


    "Miss, where did you go?"


    Bi Yun almost cried when she saw the figure of her travel worn out. If the matriarch knew that the little miss had sneaked out, she would definitely be punished.


    "Bi Yun, you leave first. No one is allowed to enter without my permission."


    Jun Qi didn''t even spare Bi Yun a single glance as she turned and entered the room.


    "Ball, have you found a way?"


    While Jun Qiyan was using his spiritual sense to contact the ball, he had also moved Di Mo Jiu from the Nuwa Stone to the bed.


    Di Mo Jiu made the narrow bed even smaller.


    Standing on Jun Qianyan''s shoulder, the ball said in a deep voice, "Daddy was already severely injured. This time, too much of his divine power was used up to subdue the Octadic Snake. Now, only the power inside the Black Demon Crystal can save Daddy."


    Jun Qiyan''s eyes lit up when he heard this. "Does this mean that there''s still hope for Ninth Elder?"


    "Where are the black magic crystals?"


    Jun Qiyan hurriedly asked.


    The white and tender face of the ball wrinkled as she stammered, "There shouldn''t be such a divine being in the Lower Realms."


    "Black Demon Crystals are formed from the mixture of spirit and demonic energy after ten thousand years. They can only be found at the boundary between the God Realm and the Demon Realm ¡­"


    Jun Qiyan''s heart sank when he heard this. The boundary between the God Realm and the Devil Realm ¡­


    Putting aside the fact that he didn''t know where the boundary between the God Realm and the Demon Realm was, the only way for him to reach the God Realm from the mortal world was to reach the Deity Stage.


    The light in Jun Qiyan''s eyes had disappeared without a trace, leaving behind only gloom.


    "Is there no other way?"


    Jun Qianyan had always been a loyal person. During the time she had been in the Eastern Xuan Continent, Di Mo Jiu had taught her like a teacher.


    "No, actually, there is another way ¡­"

 C17 How was this a genius She was clearly a ghost!

    "What method?" Jun Qiyan was anxious to see the ball stutter.


    "There is a mountain in the northern part of the Howling Forest. That is the place closest to the God Realm. The main battlefield of the Celestial Realm is there as well."


    The little hands of the ball tangled together.


    Demon energy and spirit energy could never coexist, and the repelling effect of the two attacks could easily tear a person''s body apart.


    Thus, only some high level magical beasts ran rampant.


    "As long as there''s even the slightest possibility, I will give it a try."


    Jun Qiyan pursed her lips as a resolute look appeared on her face.


    The Octadic Snake sneered before saying sarcastically, "With the strength of a Qi Disciple level 5, I''m afraid that before you even reach the northern mountains, you would have already been torn to shreds by magical beasts?"


    Jun Qiyan cast an indifferent glance at him.


    Ever since he made a contract with the Baji Snake, it had always been competing with him, and its tone was one of provocation.


    "I remember, your name is Di Mo Jiu ¡­"


    Before Jun Qianyan could finish his words, he felt a tightening sensation on his wrist.


    "Yes, that''s right! "Since Jiu Zun is so powerful, is it wrong for me to acknowledge him as my boss?"


    Fu Cheng said as if it was natural.


    Jun Qiyan narrowed his eyes, obviously not believing the other party''s words.


    "Hmph, I don''t acknowledge the Ninth Master as my boss. Do I have to recognize a useless person like you as my boss?" The Octadic Snake shook its body with a disdainful look on its face.


    "Don''t say that to mother. Mother is not trash!"


    When the ball heard Fu Chen repeatedly speak rudely, the protective attitude of the ball instantly exploded. A pair of large eyes stared angrily at the azure color.


    "Pfft, just a little trash and a big trash."


    Fu Chen did not place the ball in his eyes at all. To him, the ball was nothing more than a strange pet.


    "Pah!"


    "You stinking snake! Who are you calling a trash!? " The ball put one foot on the head of the snake, and then kicked wildly on the head of the snake.


    The face of the Octadic Snake instantly turned black, and in that instant, a violet light flashed within the room.


    He saw a white object standing on top of a purple clothed man''s head.


    "Bah! Stinky snake, do you think you''re the only one that can transform!?"


    The ball gave a cold snort and did not feel any fear from the fact that the Baji Snake had taken human form.


    Right after the ball''s voice fell, the originally small ball of fur instantly turned into a four to five-year-old child.


    Because of her anger, her small face turned red and her big, watery eyes widened, making her look extremely adorable.


    He saw a pair of small, meaty hands give Fu Cheng two big slaps.


    Although their strength was not that great, they still left behind two shallow red marks.


    Fu Chen reached out to grab the little kid on his head, but the ball dodged him three times.


    He was so angry that he could only stomp his feet.


    Looking at the gloomy expression on her face, Jun Qiyan was in a good mood as she smiled.


    "Miss, the old man wants to see you."


    Following a series of knocks on the door, Bi Yun''s voice drifted into the ears of the two beasts.


    "Alright." Jun Qiyan agreed repeatedly.


    Both Balls and Fu Cheng had no choice but to stop playing around as well. They glanced at each other, let out a cold snort, and returned to the Nuwa Stone.


    Jun Qianyan arrived at Jun Xuanfeng''s room and saw him sitting on a chair with a guilty expression on his face.


    "Grandfather."


    Jun Qiyan lightly called out.


    Jun Xuanfeng raised his head, and his pair of aged eyes were now bloodshot.


    Jun Xuanfeng''s lips slightly moved, and his voice became incomparably hoarse:


    "Dye, I know all about the past."


    Jun Xuanfeng lowered his head, giving off an incomparably dejected feeling.


    Jun Qiyan was momentarily at a loss as to what the other party meant.


    "Don''t worry, Grandpa will definitely find that bastard and give you justice."


    For a girl, the ultimate goal in life was innocence.


    As a good-for-nothing, Jun Qianyan was no longer innocent. Jun Xuanfeng didn''t even dare to imagine how this little girl had been enduring these days.


    As for the matter about finding a way to recover his cultivation that Jun Xuanfeng had previously told him about, he didn''t take it to heart at all and simply assumed that the other party was trying to comfort him.


    It was only then that Jun Qianyan realized the meaning behind Jun Xuanfeng''s words.


    Looking at Jun Xuanfeng''s self-reproach, a trace of warmth flashed through Jun Qiyan''s heart.


    "Grandfather, don''t worry. I''m fine."


    The corner of Jun Qiyan''s mouth curved up in a smile as he explained.


    "And now I can train."


    After he had finished speaking, Jun Qiyan turned her spirit root into a mirage and displayed it in front of Jun Xuanfeng''s eyes.


    "Dye, can you really cultivate?" Jun Xuanfeng''s voice was full of excitement, and his expression was even more excited than Jun Qiyan''s own body.


    "Although your talent isn''t very good and you''re only a Violet Rank, you can still practice it."


    "Hahaha, it doesn''t matter if you''re a Violet Rank, it doesn''t matter. As long as you can cultivate, grandpa will definitely give you the best resources ¡­"


    Jun Xuanfeng''s voice suddenly stopped.


    As if he had received a huge shock, his voice trembled as he asked again, "Dye, what did you just say? Purple Class? "


    Jun Xuanfeng''s eyes were as if he had seen a ghost, and he immediately looked towards the phantom image in Jun Qiyan''s hand.


    Indeed, within that mirage, there was a faint purple light.


    Jun Qiyan blinked his bright and intelligent big eyes; he didn''t seem to understand why Jun Xuanfeng seemed so excited at this time.


    After a long while, Jun Xuanfeng finally calmed down and continued, "Moreover, it''s the wood element and the fire element."


    As soon as Jun Qianyan finished speaking, all of the tea leaves that had just entered Jun Xuanfeng''s throat shot out.


    "Cough, cough." Jun Xuanfeng suddenly coughed violently.


    Jun Xuanfeng looked at Jun Qianyan as if he was looking at a little monster.


    How was this a genius? He was clearly a ghost!


    "Cough cough, Dye. You must remember, don''t reveal your current talent. Grandpa will deliver the best resources to you. Your talent won''t even be mentioned to your parents. Do you understand?"


    Jun Xuanfeng solemnly said to Jun Qianyan. He had witnessed everything that Shen Shuyi had done to Jun Qianyan over the years.


    He also knew very well that Shen Shuyi could not keep her words from her mouth.


    However, once Jun Qianyan''s talent was known by the people of the world, it would surely attract the attention of several major forces, and even the Jun Family wouldn''t be able to protect him.


    Jun Qianyan naturally knew the worries in Jun Xuanfeng''s heart.


    "Grandfather, I was just about to tell you about this as well."


    Jun Xuanfeng looked at Jun Qiyan with a slightly complicated expression. Most of the young people nowadays were competitive, especially those who had dyed their faces like this, from useless wood to geniuses.


    If it were anyone else, they would have been so excited that they would want to fill the entire world with their talent in order to wash away their reputation as trash.


    For a moment, Jun Xuanfeng''s emotions were mixed. His granddaughter had really changed.

 C18 You were a real idiot

    "Dye? Since you have the talent to become an alchemist, you''ll need a lot of money."


    As Jun Xuanfeng spoke, he took out a black card from his drawer and handed it over to Jun Qianyan.


    "This is the Purple Crystal Card, there are 1000 Purple Crystal Coins inside, it should be enough for your expenses for a period of time."


    "Thank you, Grandfather."


    As Jun Qiyan received the amethyst card, she saw that the black card was outlined with a mysterious totem, and its surroundings were coated with a layer of gold.


    Under the rays of the sun, it was exceptionally dazzling.


    In the East Xuan Continent, an Amethyst Coin was equal to a hundred gold coins. Only a super powerful family like the Jun Family could afford to spend so much money in one go.


    "Oh right, in a few days, an old friend of mine will hold an auction. When the time comes, you can come with me. There should be a crucible and the herbs you need there."


    Jun Qiyan nodded in agreement.


    When Jun Qiyan left, she happened to see Jun Yanran hurrying back. Jun Qianyan was speechless as she looked up at the sky.


    When Jun Yanran saw Jun Qianyan walk out of Jun Xuanfeng''s room, it was as if a fire had been ignited in her heart.


    In addition, he had just lost face on that woman in black, so he was completely losing his reason.


    She immediately took a step forward, stood in front of Jun Qiyan, and said in a strange tone:


    "Oh, isn''t this our big miss?"


    Jun Qiyan frowned slightly. Some people just couldn''t stop themselves from eating sh * t.


    "Get out of the way."


    Jun Qiyan said with an expressionless face. There wasn''t the slightest bit of emotion on his face.


    The best way to counter this kind of person was to just ignore them.


    Jun Yanran gritted her teeth in anger at Jun Qianyan''s attitude. She snorted coldly, and then said with a smile that was like a flower:


    "Oh right, I forgot to tell you that His Highness is going to bring me to the Beijing auction house in a few days."


    Jun Qiyan: "¡­"


    "I wonder if elder sister was invited?"


    Jun Qiyan: "¡­"


    "Hey, how did I forget that the auction doesn''t allow trash to enter?"


    Jun Yanran went on and on, but did not receive a response. Her small face suddenly became extremely unsightly.


    "You''re done?" Jun Qiyan shot an indifferent glance at Jun Yanran; her eyes looked as if she was looking at a clown.


    "Once you''re done, you can scram."


    Jun Yanran''s eyes instantly turned sinister.


    She didn''t believe this woman would forget about the Third Prince so quickly. Yes, she must have been faking it.


    When she thought here, Jun Yanran''s heart felt a little more at ease, and her expression also became haughty and arrogant.


    "Oh, right." Jun Qianyan''s nonchalant face suddenly turned around as she indifferently said,


    "I think you and the Third Prince are quite compatible. I wish you a hundred years of good harmony."


    Hearing this, a trace of a crack appeared in Jun Yanran''s expression and a trace of astonishment appeared in her eyes.


    Could this woman have a screw loose?


    "Blind people with brainless bodies, a match made in heaven."


    The corner of Jun Qianyan''s mouth lightly pulled, and her cold voice entered Jun Yanran''s ears.


    "You, you actually dare to say that His Highness is blind!" Hmph, be careful, or I''ll tell His Highness to exterminate your family! "


    After three seconds of silence, Jun Qiyan looked at Jun Yanran with an extremely pitying gaze.


    "So it turns out that you''re really an idiot."


    In the time it took to make a cup of tea, Jun Yanran finally understood the meaning behind Jun Qianyan''s words. She wanted to curse out loud, but that petite figure had already walked far away.


    Wasn''t the death of the king, Qiyan and Jiu clan a disguised suicide...


    When Jun Qianyan returned to her room, Bi Yu hurriedly walked in front of her. With a worried expression, she asked, "Young miss, the old man didn''t make things difficult for you, right ¡­"


    The matter of the young miss losing her innocence had already reached the point where everyone was aware of it. Although the old gramps doted on the young miss of his family, no large family could tolerate such humiliation.


    Jun Qiyan rubbed Bi Yun''s head and softly said, "Don''t worry, I''ll be fine."


    Bi Yun let out a sigh of relief.


    "Go and find me a set of men''s clothes."


    Jun Qiyan thought for a moment, then slowly said to Bi Yun.


    If he showed up at the auction just like that, it would definitely lead to criticism.


    Bi Yu nodded her head. She was getting more and more confused by the young miss''s thoughts.


    After Jun Qiyan''s orders were given, he immediately entered the Nuwa Stone. What Fu Cheng said was right; once he reached the fifth level of Qi Cultivating Stage, he would only be sending himself to his death in the northern part of the Howling Forest.


    Even if it was for the sake of Ninth Master, she had to become stronger.


    A few days passed in the blink of an eye. In the middle of the Nuwa Stone, Jun Qiyan slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes were filled with a deep and serene feeling; she was at the peak of Qi Disciple level 5 ¡­


    The higher one went, the slower one would be in training. Jun Qiyan was already at the bottleneck, and to break through, he needed to have a certain level of actual combat experience.


    As soon as Jun Qiyan walked out of the Nuwa Stone, jadeite walked in with quick steps.


    "Miss, the old man wants to see you."


    Jun Qiyan nodded and then put on the men''s clothing that Bi Yun had prepared in advance.


    "Grandfather." Jun Qiyan softly called out.


    The old man turned and looked at the young man in front of him in surprise.


    "Dye?"


    Jun Qiyan nodded and said softly.


    "If I were to use my identity as Jun Qianyan''s to accompany you to the auction, it would be a bit too flamboyant."


    Jun Xuanfeng nodded his head in understanding.


    When the two of them arrived at the auction house, it was already crowded.


    Jun Qiyan was sitting in a sedan chair, looking around in boredom when she saw a familiar figure appear in front of her.


    That person was none other than Di Yeming.


    When the auctioneer saw the figure of Jun Xuanfeng, he immediately went to greet him with a smile.


    "Old Master Jun, you''re finally here. Please come in."


    Jun Xuanfeng did not respond much to the passionate attitude of the other party. He gave a faint "En" sound and entered the private room together with Jun Qianyan.


    Jun Qi was sizing up the auction place. There were many seats in the room, and the grand scene was no less than that of the Beast Battling Arena.


    At the top were the rooms, which were specially prepared for the guests of the auction.


    "Old fart, I just heard from the manager that you''re here."


    The door that had been pushed open suddenly opened.


    The person who had come was the old man from the Jing Clan, the host of this auction.


    A lazy youth followed closely behind. When the other side saw Jun Qiyan, he smiled and nodded his head. Jun Qiyan slightly raised her eyebrows.


    The woman''s sixth sense told her that this youth was definitely not simple.


    "Hahaha, old thing, I''ve been in closed-door training for so long, and it really wasn''t easy for me to see you again."


    The two old men looked at each other and smiled. They were overjoyed after seeing their close friend.


    "This is that disappointing brat from my family, hurry up and go call grandpa."


    Jing Qiong slapped the back of his head. Although Jing Qiong had called him a stinky brat, his face was full of pride.


    Jun Xuanfeng''s eyes lit up, "Boy from the Jing Clan, are you going to break through to the base level so soon?"

 C19 It is time for me to honor you

    There was still a lazy smile on Jing Ji Bai''s face. He slightly bowed, but there was no trace of pride on his face.


    "He really has a lot of talented people behind him. Back when we were both his age, we were only at Qi Disciple level 8."


    The two elders chatted for a while before returning to their private rooms.


    After the auction started, the atmosphere in the auction hall was elated.


    The host of this auction was the Grandmaster Greencloud Association. The Grandmaster was a member of the Alchemist Association.


    There was a certain level of prestige in the entire Eastern Xuan Continent.


    "Next are the high-grade medicinal pills, the Face Preserving Pill, and the mid-grade first-grade medicinal pills, the Spirit Gathering Pill."


    Grandmaster Qing Yun stroked his gray beard as he laughed.


    "The first item to be auctioned is the Face Preserving Pill. The starting bid starts at one hundred gold coins."


    When these words were spoken, everyone in the auction hall was in an uproar as they all called out their prices.


    "One hundred and fifty gold coins."


    "Two hundred gold coins."


    "Three hundred gold coins!"


    Those who were able to come to the auction were all either rich or powerful. Furthermore, they all had a group of wives and concubines at home. Naturally, they would not be reluctant to part with the gold coins in order to make the beauties happy.


    In addition, this pill was personally concocted by Grandmaster Qing Yun himself. No matter what, they would at least know how to make it.


    When the bid reached 750 gold coins, it had already stopped.


    The Cyan Edge Grandmaster nodded in satisfaction as well. In the end, the person who bid was a large man.


    He stood up proudly, but the fat on his body trembled from the movement of his feet. A smile rose on his greasy face.


    "This is the young master from the Lee family, we better not earn any money."


    Everyone trembled in fear when they heard this. Li Futian was a notorious figure in the capital.


    To burn, kill, rob, bully men and bully women, relying on his family to commit all sorts of evil deeds in the people, he was a typical good-for-nothing who bullied the weak and feared the strong.


    "A thousand gold coins."


    The originally quiet atmosphere was completely broken by this shout.


    "Who, who dares to oppose your father?!"


    Li Futian''s originally complacent face instantly collapsed.


    A tall figure walked out from the upper level private room.


    "It''s This King. Why do you have any objections?" Di Yeming glanced at Li Futian indifferently with disdain in his eyes ¡­


    Li Futian instantly broke out in a cold sweat.


    "This little one, this little one had eyes but did not recognize Mount Tai. I did not mean to offend the third prince, I beg for his forgiveness."


    Looking at Li Futian''s pug look, those who were usually angry but didn''t dare to speak shouted in their hearts, feeling carefree.


    On the other side, Jun Qiyan was watching the show from a private room. She curled her lips and thought that Young Master Li would argue with Di Yeming for a little longer, but it turned out to be nothing more than this.


    She placed one hand on her chin and the other on the back of her chair. Since Di Yaming wanted the Face Preserving Pill, he must have given it to Jun Yanran, but she couldn''t let them have their way.


    "One thousand one hundred gold coins."


    With that said, everyone turned to look at the source of the voice.


    This was blatantly looking down on the royal family''s dignity. Those who dared to meet the royal family in such a fair and square manner, apart from a few great sects, could not think of anyone who had the guts to do so.


    For a time, everyone was guessing at Jun Qiyan''s identity.


    "Two thousand gold." Di Yeming squinted his eyes with a dark expression.


    "Two thousand and one hundred." Jun Qiyan continued to bid without any pressure.


    "Three thousand gold." Di Yeming followed closely behind. This was something that Yanran wanted, so naturally, he couldn''t lose face in front of a beauty.


    "3100 gold coins."


    "Four thousand."


    Thus, no matter how high Di Yeming''s bid was, the other party would only raise the bid by 100 gold coins each, as if they were trying to make the other party unhappy.


    "Ten thousand gold."


    The moment the 10,000 gold coins figure appeared, everyone went silent. 10,000 gold coins was enough to buy 10 or so Face Preserving Pills.


    Even the Green Edge Grandmaster stood rooted to the spot in a daze. He clearly hadn''t expected that the pill he casually refined would fetch such a sky-high price of ten thousand gold coins.


    Ten thousand gold coins could be said to be Di Yeming''s limit. He squinted his eyes to look at the source of the voice. If the other party continued to follow him, then he would give up.


    "Pow, pow, pow. The Third Prince is indeed wealthy. The treasury is indeed incomparable to ordinary citizens like us."


    When Di Yeming heard this, he almost vomited out a mouthful of blood.


    He gritted his teeth and snorted. Then, he turned around and returned to his room.


    The corner of Jun Yanran''s mouth curved into a smile as she looked at the private room in the direction of Jun Qiyan with a slightly provocative look, and a complacent look appeared on her face.


    The curtains that were separated from the outside world were all made of special materials, and Jun Qiyan could clearly see Jun Yanran from the inside.


    The other party was unable to see her clearly.


    "Yanran, this girl is actually so shameless!" Jun Xuanfeng was immediately angered when he saw the provocative look on Jun Yanran''s face.


    "He''s seducing his brother-in-law and yet he''s still so confident." As Jun Xuanfeng spoke, he calmly sized up the people around him, afraid that they wouldn''t accept it.


    "Grandpa, don''t be angry. Since the Third Prince''s heart isn''t with his granddaughter, then even if his granddaughter marries him, she won''t be happy."


    Jun Qiyan sipped a mouthful of tea and looked at Jun Xuanfeng indifferently.


    "Girl, if you really can''t let it go, then Grandpa will at most ask the Emperor for this marriage back."


    "Absolutely not."


    Jun Qianyan refused Jun Xuanfeng''s request without the slightest hesitation.


    "You have already advanced to the Aurous Core stage. Our Jun Family already possesses nearly half of the forces of the Eastern Kingdom, and you have a great reputation within the Imperial Court."


    "Take a look at the ministers of the past, and see what happens to those who have achieved great feats."


    Jun Qianyan''s voice was like the flowing water of a mountain as it slowly swept across Jun Xuanfeng''s ears. Listening to Jun Qianyan''s analysis, Jun Xuanfeng felt cold sweat trickling down his back.


    If he hadn''t personally heard Jun Qianyan''s analysis, he wouldn''t have dared to believe that these words came from his beloved granddaughter.


    "Little girl ¡­"


    Jun Xuanfeng hoarsely called out to Jun Qiyan.


    "You have protected me for so many years, it is about time that I pay my respects to you."


    The next item up for auction was the Spirit Gathering Pill.


    As long as a person consumed the Spirit Pill, they would be able to quickly absorb the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth and break through.


    "The starting price of the Spirit Gathering Pill is five hundred gold coins."


    The competition around them was much more intense than the Face Preserving Pill just now.


    "Five thousand gold."


    The final bid was naturally Di Yaming. Jun Qiyan moved her fingernails and called out another bid.


    "Five thousand and five hundred."


    "Six thousand gold." As soon as Di Yeming made his bid, it was time for the mid-match to rest.


    The main purpose of this visit was to obtain the Spirit Gathering Pill. He had been stuck at the peak of Qi Disciple level 6 for over a year. As long as he consumed this Spirit Gathering Pill, he could successfully break through!

 C20 Be a good boy when you get a bargain.

    When he thought of this, Di Yaming felt a little uneasy. He thought of his own future prospects and that position of the Nine Supremes Supremes Supremes.


    Di Yaming clenched his teeth, turned around and walked into Jun Qiyan''s room.


    "I am Dongling Kingdom''s Third Prince, Emperor Ye Ming." Di Yaming crossed his arms and bowed deeply to Jun Qiyan.


    He was extremely humble.


    Jun Qiyan casually played with the teacup in her hand, but she couldn''t stop sneering in her heart. If Di Yaming knew that she was the supreme expert in his heart, he would probably die from anger.


    "Third Prince, what are you doing?" Jun Qiyan''s sharp eyes were directed straight at the man in front of him.


    She tilted her head, feigning ignorance as she asked.


    Only then did Di Yeming slowly raise his head. When he saw Jun Xuanfeng standing at the side, he was clearly stunned.


    "Elder Jun, who is this?"


    "This is a guest that our Jun Family has managed to invite with great difficulty. Third Prince, please do not take offense."


    Jun Xuanfeng stroked his beard with a beaming smile as he spoke with a straight face.


    When Di Yeming heard this, the expression on his face clearly became uglier.


    In a large clan, powerful cultivators were usually invited as foreign delegates in order to get them to lend a hand when the clan was in danger.


    The Guest Warriors of a big family like the Jun Family must be above the Nascent Soul Stage.


    "Senior, please forgive us if there is a place for the younger generation to run into each other."


    Di Yeming hurriedly said.


    A Nascent Soul Stage powerhouse, even if his father saw it, he would still give the other party some face, not to mention him and this mere prince.


    Jun Qiyan pretended to be profound as he said, "This sovereign knows nothing about you. For the time being, I won''t bother with you. If there''s nothing else, I''ll head out first."


    Jun Qiyan waved his hand as if he was very busy and had no time to pay any attention to him.


    Seeing this, Di Yaming was momentarily unable to make sense of the other party''s intentions, and could not help but mutter in his heart.


    "Junior has come here for a matter ¡­" Di Yaming wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and braced himself as he spoke.


    Jun Qiyan raised his eyebrows but did not say a word.


    "Senior, can you give the ''Spirit Gathering Pill'' just now to this junior ¡­"


    Di Yeming asked with a hint of caution.


    "Oh?" Jun Qixian''s voice was deliberately drawn out, but her expression was unclear.


    "However, the original body is determined to obtain the Spirit Gathering Pill ¡­"


    Jun Qiyan put on a very awkward expression.


    However, she didn''t dare to say these words out loud, so she could only continue:


    "Of course, junior cannot let you give out this Spirit Gathering Pill for nothing."


    After saying this, Di Yaming clapped his hands, and several guards entered the room.


    Jun Qiyan cast a glance at the treasure on her plate, her expression still as indifferent as before.


    When Di Yeming heard this, his face instantly turned pale.


    "This ¡­ this is all part of junior''s filial piety. Senior, please accept it."


    "Fine, leave it for now."


    Di Yuming couldn''t figure out what she meant, so he could only stand to the side.


    Even Jun Xuanfeng couldn''t bear to see Di Yeming like this.


    However, when she thought about how this brat made her darling granddaughter feel so wronged, she pretended that she couldn''t see him.


    Within the Nuwa Stone, the giant serpent silently covered its eyes. What sort of master was it following?


    He was talking about Jun Qianyan.


    "Since you are so sincere, this old man is too insensible to reject you. In that case, I will give the Spirit Gathering Pill to you first."


    Jun Qiyan waved his hands, as if he was at a disadvantage and would give up first.


    Only then did Di Yeming heave a sigh of relief. However, in his heart, he secretly clenched his teeth. What a sly old fox!


    He turned around and walked out of the room.


    The auction continued very quickly, and nothing else happened.


    In the blink of an eye, it was the finale.


    "The final item to be auctioned is this one hundred year old Nine Hell Snow Lotus. The way it''s being auctioned this time is slightly different from the past."


    Master Cyan Edge paused in his speech, intentionally keeping the conversation in suspense.


    The crowd broke out into a flurry of discussion before Grandmaster Qing Yun finally spoke.


    "This merchant said that as long as anyone can concoct a top grade pill to nourish the heart, he will give this herb to them."


    Everyone glanced at each other after the Green Edge Grandmaster finished speaking. No one actually raised a hand.


    Furthermore, medicinal herbs were not something that could be consumed directly. They could only be used by apothecaries.


    Most of those who came to the auction were cultivators, and there were very few pill refiners. This was a grade-1 pill that required a grade-2 apothecary to forge.


    "The medicinal materials and pill formulas provided by the Shang Clan, and also promised that if the medicinal pill can be refined, there will be an additional reward in the future."


    The Green Edge Grandmaster spoke one after another, but still, no one raised a hand ¡­


    "Mother! Mother!" The ball of consciousness excitedly called out to Jun Qiyan, "This herbal medicine will have a great effect on father''s recovery and recovery in the future."


    When Jun Qiyan heard this, he immediately raised his hand.


    A sliver of astonishment flashed across Di Yeming''s eyes. A Nascent Soul Stage cultivator was actually an alchemist. He was truly an amazing person. If he could get close in the future, he would definitely be able to provide great assistance ¡­


    After the auction ended, Jun Qiyan came to the backstage. The merchandise was given to Jun Qianyan as a gift.


    It was a rich woman dressed in luxurious clothing, and she could see that the other person''s face was full of worry.


    "May I know what your name is?"


    "Qi Jiu."


    She said earnestly to Jun Qiyan, "You can call me Madam Ye. I''ll be troubling you. Please make sure to refine the Heart Nourishing Pill. My son''s life is in your hands."


    From this woman''s mouth, Jun Qiyan learned that their son had a congenital heart disease, even though he was extremely gifted.


    However, there was no way for him to exercise for long periods of time, nor could he bask in the sunlight. Once, there was a doctor who said that the other party wouldn''t live past the age of 20.


    Jun Qiyan could only feel envy in his heart.


    In her previous life, when she was five years old, her entire clan was annihilated. It could be said that after the age of five, she lived in darkness everyday in order to get her revenge.


    In this life, the original owner was someone who his father did not love and his mother did not. In this life, he would probably never have the chance to have the love of a father or mother ever again.


    Jun Qiyan''s eyes were filled with gloom. She only needed to protect those who truly loved her for her entire life.

 C21 Grade One Pills

    "Bi Yun, buy all of my savings and all of the Purple Crystal Card''s Purple Crystal Card''s coins and ingredients. Remember to keep it a secret at this time."


    Jun Qiyan gave his amethyst card to Bi Yun.


    Bi Yun received the amethyst card in a daze. Then, as if she had thought of something, she hurriedly asked:


    "Miss doesn''t have as much money as you''ve never had before ¡­"


    If it could be exchanged for an Amethyst Card, it would at least cost 10,000 gold coins, and even if it was a young miss, it would only be 100 gold coins a year.


    "Bi Yun, you only need to do as I say."


    Jun Qiyan lightly said.


    "Yes, your servant has overstepped her boundaries."


    Jun Qiyan replied without reprimanding him.


    "This is the Spatial Ring. Put the herbs you bought here."


    Jun Qiyan passed an ancient looking Spatial Ring to Bi Yun. That Spatial Ring was one of the many treasures that Di Yeming had given her.


    "Yes." Bi Yun received the storage ring but did not dare to continue speaking.


    Bi Yun worked very quickly, and in less than two hours, she had already brought back all of the herbs.


    "Go and wait outside. Without my permission, no one is allowed to enter."


    After he finished speaking, Jun Qiyan walked into the Nuwa Stone.


    "Mother, try and see if you can bring out the spiritual energy within the medicinal materials."


    Jun Qiyan closed her eyes as she felt the power of the wood in her body.


    Only after more than ten minutes did Jun Qiyan slowly open her eyes. As expected, she could clearly feel the spirituality within the medicinal ingredients at this very moment.


    Jun Qiyan tried to bring up the medicinal properties of the herbs, and then put them all into the pill furnace. Those herbs that had lost their spirituality suddenly withered in the process.


    Finally, it turned into dust and returned to the dust.


    Jun Qiyan attentively placed the flame at the tip of his finger into the pill furnace.


    The dazzling firelight illuminated the four walls of the room, causing clear beads of sweat to appear on Jun Qiyan''s pale face.


    Alchemy was a method that used up spiritual energy.


    "Done ¡­" Before Jun Qiyan could finish his words, he felt a strong repulsion from his pill furnace.


    Boom!


    A world-shaking explosion came from the pill furnace. The strong impact caused the dust in the surroundings to be stirred up.


    "Cough, cough." Jun Qiyan coughed violently. The sudden explosion had been too fast for him to dodge.


    At this time, Jun Qiyan''s hair was in complete disarray. It was like a bird''s nest, and her originally white face was now filthy and in a sorry state.


    "Hahahahaha!" This old man is going to die from laughter! " Seeing Jun Qiyan''s bedraggled state, the Octadic Serpent hugged his body and laughed to his heart''s content.


    Jun Qiyan looked at the rolling, laughing people at the side. The corner of her mouth was raised into a strange smile, which looked very strange.


    "Oh right, ball, tell me, would the effects of this herb be better if it was added to the snake gall?"


    Jun Qiyan looked at the Octadic Snake with a curved gaze, and spoke with an incomparably gentle tone.


    However, for some reason, the Octadic Snake felt its entire body tremble, as if it was being watched by something.


    "Cough, cough, cough, cough. You guys take your time concocting pills. I, I''ll, I''ll leave first."


    Fu Cheng''s body stiffened.


    He turned around and ran to the corner to draw circles.


    "Mother, it''s alright. We can continue."


    Ball kindly comforted him.


    However, Jun Qianyan didn''t hear any words from the ball. In the middle of the ruins where the furnace had exploded, two objects that looked like balls were particularly striking.


    "This is?"


    Jun Qi took a step forward and picked up the pill.


    "Mother, this ¡­ this is a medicinal pill."


    The ball of light stared fixedly at the item in Jun Qiyan''s hand with its big and wide eyes.


    It was completely unheard-of for a cauldron to explode into pills. The powerful impact from the explosion was enough to turn everything within the cauldron into ruins.


    "What rank pill is this?"


    Jun Qiyan looked at the pill in his hand with disdain.


    "From the looks of it, its color and luster should be a low-grade, first-rate item."


    The voice of the ball paused slightly before continuing, "Mother is already very powerful."


    The second time, he succeeded in concocting two Tier 1 High Rank pills.


    Just having learned alchemy, Jun Qiyan felt like he was on stimulants. He was refining three to four batches of medicinal pills in one go.


    Pill refining was an extremely exhausting job that consumed a great deal of mental energy, and Jun Qiyan''s final outcome was that she would faint from exhaustion, so she ended up sleeping on the bed for three whole days.


    After Jun Qiyan woke up, it was time to trade with the seller.


    Jun Qiyan picked out a human skin mask and put it on. Then he took out a black mask and put it on.


    Jun Qiyan was dressed in simple and crude clothing. He wore a black robe and a featureless mask. He was an existence that could not be found even if he fell into a crowd of people.


    "Wait a moment, you can stop."


    Seeing that Jun Qiyan wanted to go to the VIP room of the auction, a delicate and pretty woman hastily pulled him in.


    "Who are you? How dare you barge in so casually?"


    The woman sized up Jun Qianyan and saw that she was dressed in an ordinary manner. Her tone of voice was even more impudent.


    "Do you know who is inside? Do you know where this is? Any random cat or dog would dare to barge into this place. This is truly hilarious. "


    Jun Qiyan wasn''t annoyed by this at all. He simply asked, "Was this auction held by your family?"


    "You!" The woman choked on her words as she was even more unconvinced in her heart.


    "Look at you, you''re so poor, I told you you couldn''t sneak in."


    Jun Qiyan was so infuriated that he almost burst out laughing. It was truly strange that there were so many more people every year.


    "Grandmaster Qi Jiu, you''re here."


    A surprised sound broke the strange atmosphere.


    Madam Ye walked over quickly. Behind her was a lady in white.


    "Madam Ye, you don''t have to be so polite and call me Xiao Jiu." Jun Qiyan said softly.


    The more Madam Ye looked at the person before her, the more she liked him.


    The woman who had just been rude to Jun Qiyan was now completely dazed. She lowered her head in an attempt to lower the level of her presence to the lowest.


    "Madam Ye, this is the pill that you wanted."


    Jun Qiyan handed over the white jade bottle that she had prepared beforehand.


    Madam Ye accepted it hastily. Her face grew happier as well. Without hesitation, she passed the snow lotus to Jun Qianyan.


    Madam Ye stretched her voice intentionally as she sized up the girl who had argued with Jun Qiyan with a pair of dark eyes.


    Her heart skipped a beat as she turned her pleading gaze to the white robed girl behind Madam Ye.


    The woman in white frowned, but still said:


    "Grandmaster Qi Jiu, if my servant girl had any problems with you just now, please take care of her."


    The woman in white was bent over, looking extremely humble.


    As Jun Qiyan looked at the woman in front of him for some reason, she suddenly thought of that day when she was still alive.

 C22 Jun Laige

    Jun Qiyan sized up the woman in front of him and saw that she was dressed in white, like a fairy that had wandered into the mortal world.


    "Her face was like a silver plate, her eyes like almonds, her lips were red without touching the lips, and her eyebrows were green without drawing. Truly a beauty."


    The corner of Jun Qiyan''s mouth curled up into a smile, but he didn''t show the slightest signs of being frivolous.


    "Senior must be joking." Jun Yunge''s eyes were watery, and he gave off a delicate and touching feeling.


    Jun Qiyan curled her lips but didn''t say anything.


    Jun Yunge glanced at the pill in Madam Ye''s hand, and then looked at Jun Qianyan with admiration.


    "Is senior an alchemist?"


    "It''s just a tiny grade one medicinal pill." Jun Qiyan said.


    A trace of pleasant surprise flashed across Jun Yunge''s face when he heard this.


    Jun Laige was about to say something else, but was interrupted by Jun Feiyan.


    "Alright, it''s getting late. I still have some matters to attend to, so I won''t be chatting with you guys for now."


    Jun Yunge looked at the back of Jun Qianyan as a trace of reluctance appeared in his eyes.


    "Xiao Jiu."


    As Jun Qiyan was walking out of the auction house, he saw Madam Ye''s figure rushing in his direction.


    "Madam Ye, is there anything else?"


    "This is your reward."


    Madam Ye hurriedly shoved an amethyst card into Jun Qiyan''s hands.


    Jun Qiyan frowned as he returned the amethyst card.


    "Madam Ye, I can''t accept this money. We''ve already agreed on it. I''ll give you the pill, and you can give me the Nine Hell Snow Lotus."


    Madam Ye obviously did not expect the other party to not have any money. Her long, shapely eyebrows creased slightly as she handed the Purple Crystal Card back.


    If Jun Qiyan refused again, it would seem a little unreasonable.


    "Thank you, Madam Ye."


    "What are you thanking me for? I want to thank you. Xiao Jiu, if you have the chance, you can come to our house."


    Madam Ye said with a smile. Sometimes, it was really strange. There were some people who would try their best to please her, but she was unable to get close to them.


    Yet now, he was extremely fond of this kid who he had only met twice.


    Jun Qiyan smiled. She did not take Madam Ye''s warm invitation to heart.


    When Jun Qiyan returned home, she saw Bi Yun circling around her as if she had been injected with chicken blood.


    "Miss, Miss, the Fourth Miss is back!"


    Jun Qiyan furrowed her brows. She quickly searched her mind for information about the Fourth Miss, but could only find a few scattered fragments.


    She only knew that the birth of the Fourth Miss was an ominous event that would bring about the annihilation of the Jun Family.


    Therefore, when the Fourth Miss was just born, she was sent to the temple by Jun Zhentian.


    "Miss, this servant has just seen her. She is truly a beauty that can topple empires. Her white clothes are floating in the air, as if a fairy has descended to the mortal world."


    Bi Yun seemed to have been injected with chicken blood as she kept chattering non-stop beside Jun Qianyan.


    "That''s right, Miss. Madam asked you to come over for dinner tonight. She said it was to celebrate Fourth Miss''s return."


    Jun Qiyan frowned. Even though she didn''t want to get entangled with that woman, she still thought of her grandfather and agreed.


    The military mansion was bustling with noise and excitement at night. Jun Qiyan was the last person to arrive at the main hall.


    "Tsk, what a face these people have to make us wait for so long."


    Jun Yanran looked in the direction of Jun Qianyan and quickly rolled her eyes as she spoke in a strange tone.


    Jun Qianyan didn''t even spare Jun Yanran a single glance as she spoke to Jun Xuanfeng, who was sitting at the head of the table.


    Jun Xuanfeng looked at the unassuming man below, without a single trace of reproach on his face. He only chuckled and said: "I''m fine, come and sit with grandpa."


    After saying that, he pointed to the seat beside him.


    Jun Yanran and Shen Shuyi watched from the side and gritted their teeth, but no one dared to say anything.


    "I called everyone here today to announce something."


    Shen Shuyi narrowed her eyes and looked at the lady in white opposite of her. Then, she said softly,


    "This is our Jun Family''s Fourth Miss, Jun Yunge."


    "Greetings, grandfather. Greetings, mother. Father. Yanran. Greetings, sister Qiyan."


    Jun Yunge stood up and obediently called out to everyone.


    Jun Qiyan ate heartily as she hurriedly glanced at Jun Yunge. However, this night, she had nearly spat out her bowl of rice.


    "Cough, cough."


    Jun Qiyan''s sudden cough broke the silence in the air.


    "Tsk, trash is trash. You can choke on food."


    Jun Yanran cursed in a low voice, dissatisfied as she looked at Jun Xuanyan''s gentle appearance.


    "Second sister, how can you say that about your direct sister?"


    Jun Laige frowned slightly, disagreeing with the idea.


    Jun Yanran snorted disdainfully and said: "I''m just an ominous person, what qualifications do you have to scold me?"


    Even though the girl''s voice was soft, not a single word was lost in his ears.


    Jun Yunge''s expression suddenly changed, and he once again returned to his usual indifferent and elegant appearance.


    "Elegy, what has happened outside to you these past few years?" Jun Zhentian had a look of love.


    Jun Laige smiled lightly. Then, he said in a soft voice:


    "My daughter was in the temple until she was eight. After she was eight, the elders of the Sword Spirit Sect came to our temple."


    "My daughter was blessed by the First Elder to be able to join the Sword Spirit Sect and become the direct disciple of the First Elder."


    The surroundings of the Sword Spirit Sect became deathly silent.


    "Elegy, what did you say?"


    Jun Zhentian stammered as he asked.


    "Sword Spirit Sect?"


    The Sword Spirit Sect was one of the top super sects in the East Xuan Continent. Even the Jun Family was nothing but an ant in front of the Sword Spirit Sect.


    Every year, the Sword Spirit Sect would recruit members from the four countries, and each country only had a hundred members to choose from.


    Jun Laige nodded his head, still maintaining the indifferent look on his face.


    However, the pride in her eyes betrayed her feelings at this moment.


    She didn''t have a good impression of the Sword Spirit Sect at all.


    "Big sister Elegy, are you really a disciple of the Sword Spirit Sect?" Jun Yanran''s face was filled with surprise as she asked.


    Jun Yunge nodded his head and spoke softly, "How can such a thing be false?"


    Seeing this, Jun Yanran immediately flattered: "It''s my sister''s fault. Please forgive me for doing anything wrong with my sister."


    Jun Yanran kept talking about her sister and her sister. If people were to see her, they would probably feel that the relationship between the two sisters was very good.


    "Elegy, after three months this year, the Sword Spirit Sect will return to our Eastern Tomb Kingdom to select our disciples. With your high position in the Sword Spirit Sect, do you think you can speak up for your little sister?"


    Shen Shuyi also came over and said to Jun Yunge with a beaming smile.


    Jun Eversnow frowned slightly, as if he was truly considering what Shen Shuyi had said.

 C23 snow lotus netherworld

    "I was careless. Elegy came back for such a long time without giving him a proper greeting. Elegy, if you don''t mind, take this."


    Shen Shuyi said softly.


    "How can you be so embarrassed? It is already very guilty that this junior did not show you any respect." Jun Yunge looked at the transparent bracelet on his wrist, and made a gesture to give it back to the other party.


    "Elegy, this isn''t anything good either. It''s just a human-step magic tool."


    Jun Yunge paused for a moment, then spoke with a smile:


    "Speaking of which, I forgot to tell everyone that I''m still an Earth Stage Mid Rank artificer."


    Jun Xuanfeng couldn''t help but glance at the other party when he said this.


    In the East Peak Mainland, the prestige of a blacksmith was not less than that of a pill refiner.


    To become a refiner, one also needed dual attribute spiritual roots. Alchemists were fire and wood attributed, while refiners were fire and metal attributed.


    "Hahahaha, the Jun Family really has a lot of talented people behind them. If we continue to be like this, we''ll be able to become the top super family in the near future."


    A look of satisfaction flashed across Jun Zhentian''s face.


    Jun Qiyan looked at the large family in front of him and felt extremely disgusted.


    Even the delicacies on the table couldn''t eat more than a few mouthfuls.


    "Grandfather, I''ll go back first."


    Jun Xuanfeng nodded and did not continue to press on.


    "Elder sister, you didn''t say anything to me when I returned. Elder sister, do you dislike me?"


    Jun Yunge''s big eyes were filled with grievance.


    Shen Shuyi, who was originally smiling, instantly turned serious.


    "You damn girl, what''s going on?"


    Jun Qiyan blinked innocently. Who had she offended?


    "Mom, don''t be angry. I definitely didn''t do well enough to make sister angry."


    Jun Yunge lowered his head with a tearful look on his face.


    "Elder sister, it''s that piece of trash who doesn''t know what''s good for him. It''s not elder sister''s problem."


    Jun Yanran consoled him as she saw this.


    Jun Qiyan sneered from the side. What a big white lotus.


    The three of them looked like a real family, but he was just an outsider.


    Jun Qiyan indifferently looked at Shen Shuyi, only to see that she was carefully comforting her son.


    She seemed to have sensed that someone was calming her down. She lifted her head and met Jun Qiyan''s clear eyes. Shen Shuyi pursed her lips, and a trace of disgust flashed across her face.


    Jun Qiyan turned around and left.


    Bi Yun angrily said.


    "Pah! Fairy, from what I see, she''s a huge white lotus. Madam, you really are the one who is her child."


    Bi Yun could not help but mumble.


    Jun Qiyan looked at Bi Yun for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Alright, the walls have ears, you should pay more attention to the old mansion from now on."


    Bi Yun closed her mouth in embarrassment.


    Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.


    The next morning, a ray of sunlight shone through the window into the small room.


    In order to change the constitution of her body, Jun Qiyan would wake up early every day to train. This was a habit that she had maintained in her previous life.


    "Jun Qiyan, open the door."


    A sound that was as sharp as a knife broke the silence of the morning.


    Jun Qiyan frowned. Even if she didn''t open the door, she still knew who he was.


    "You''re busy so early in the morning?"


    Jun Qiyan looked at the two in front of him with a pair of sharp eyes.


    "Elder sister, don''t be angry. I saw that you were a bit unhappy yesterday and came here specifically to apologize."


    Jun Yunge spoke with a ''sincere'' expression on his face.


    Those who didn''t know how she had bullied him would think that she had done so.


    Jun Qiyan rolled his eyes.


    "Please don''t call me a relative. My mom didn''t give birth to your sister, and I hope you can call me a direct sister."


    Jun Qiyan''s words were like a slap to Jun Yunge''s face.


    No matter how cultured a person was, he felt like swearing at him right now.


    Jun Yunge''s face stiffened as a trace of malevolence flashed in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared.


    "Pfft, a piece of trash like you wants big sister Elegy to call you senior sister. If I don''t teach you a lesson after such a long time, I think you''ve forgotten about Ben!"


    Jun Yanran''s eyes narrowed, and she reached out her hand to slap Jun Feiyan.


    Jun Qiyan lowered her eyes and sneered as she steadily caught Jun Yanran''s arm.


    Jun Yanran''s card contained a tremendous amount of spirit energy. If she were to hit her face like this, she would definitely break her outer appearance.


    "Who the hell are you to dare to fight against your sister in law?"


    Jun Qianyan suddenly flung Jun Yanran away, a trace of coldness appearing in the bottom of her eyes.


    "You!" Jun Yanran shot an angry look at Jun Qiyan, and then left with Jun Yunge.


    A few days later, in the afternoon, Jun Qiyan half reclined in the imperial concubine chair, feeling the afternoon sun was very uncomfortable.


    "Miss, here is your letter."


    Jun Qiyan took the letter. Madam Ye had mentioned that someone had gone to her place to inquire about the whereabouts of the snow lotus a few days ago. However, she had not told the other party about the whereabouts of the snow lotus.


    It was a woman dressed in white, as described by Madam Ye.


    Jun Qiyan raised an eyebrow, the woman in white ¡­


    "Yanran, elder sister has something to ask you."


    Jun Yunge sipped a mouthful of tea and then looked at Jun Yanran with a beaming smile.


    "Sis, go ahead."


    "Have you seen anything similar to a snow lotus in the past few days?"


    Jun Yanran was stunned as she had never seen the snow lotus before.


    Jun Yunge hurriedly continued: "The snow lotus flower looks very similar to a lotus flower; its color is pure white. It contains an enormous amount of Spiritual Energy. "


    Jun Yanran immediately put down the pastries in her hands and said, "I have."


    "Which trash is this Jun Qiyan? A few days ago, when I passed by her room, I saw a lotus flower in her hand. It really does contain spiritual power."


    Jun Yanran said honestly.


    The expression in her eyes darkened, but she didn''t say anything.


    "Elder sister, what do you need the Snow Lotus for?"

 C24 Jun Mo Chen

    When Jun Qianyan heard the three words "Jun Qianyan," she subconsciously stopped in her tracks and turned to look in the direction of the sound.


    "It''s nothing much, I just lost something recently."


    Jun Yunrue looked like she wanted to say something, but she hesitated. She then spoke in a righteous tone:


    "Did that trash Jun Qiyan steal something from elder sister? I was wondering how that little b * tch could have something as good as a snow lotus."


    Jun Yanran snorted coldly, disgust written all over her face.


    "Don''t blame your sister. No, it wasn''t her who stole it. I believe that she isn''t such a person."


    Jun Yunge hurriedly stopped her.


    Although Jun Yunge''s words seemed as if he was trying to defend Jun Qianyan, but with just a few words, he had actually proven her guilty of ''stealing''.


    Jun Qiyan, who was listening on the side, sneered. What a formidable girl! If he didn''t move her out with an Oscar, he would be letting Jun Yunge down and putting in all his effort to put on an act.


    Jun Qiyan had initially thought that Jun Yunrue was inquiring about the snow lotus, but now he was one hundred percent sure that it was true.


    Seeing the two of them singing the same tune, Jun Qiyan was almost angered to the point of laughing.


    People were truly shameless and invincible.


    The snow lotus he got from refining pills had actually become a thief in their mouths.


    "Sister, don''t worry. I will definitely not let sister suffer grievances." Jun Yanran looked at the distant place. It was unknown what she was thinking.


    Seeing this, Jun Qiyan was no longer in the mood to continue strolling. She immediately took the small path back to her room.


    As expected, as soon as Jun Qiyan returned to his own courtyard, he heard a commotion from outside.


    "Miss, something terrible has happened ¡­"


    Bi Yun quickly ran in, her eyes filled with panic.


    Jun Qiyan looked at him indifferently. Bi Yun then asked, "Has the Second Miss brought someone?"


    "Right ¡­" Bi Yun replied with a blank look on her face. She hadn''t expected that her young miss would know the future.


    "Jun Qiyan, you little b * stard! Come out right now!" Jun Qiyan''s piercing voice seemed as if it wanted to pierce the eardrums of everyone present.


    Jun Qiyan sat on a stone bench with a faint smile on her face.


    "What happened? It''s worth Second Young Miss getting so angry over it."


    Jun Qiyan played with the teacup in her hand, one hand holding her cheek, as if she didn''t know why Jun Yanran had come.


    "You''re just a piece of trash born in our Jun Family. How dare you steal my sister''s things?!"


    Jun Yanran had her hands on her waist as her venomous gaze sized up Jun Yunyan from head to toe, as if she was looking at some trash.


    When Jun Yanran said this, the servants started chattering away.


    "The eldest young miss is usually taciturn, but I didn''t expect her to be this kind of person."


    "She''s such a good person, fourth miss ¡­"


    "Truly ugly people always make trouble. I wonder what the old gramps likes about this piece of trash ¡­"


    Jun Qiyan looked at the disdainful gazes of his underlings and listened to their sarcastic remarks, the smile on his face remained as beautiful as a flower.


    "Oh? Did I steal from Jun Mo Xie''s house? Jun Yanran can eat her food however she likes, but you cannot speak carelessly! "


    "I knew you would quibble." Jun Yanran held her head high as if she had expected this.


    A few days ago when I was passing by your courtyard, I saw a snow lotus in your hand. Today, big sister Elegy told me that she lost a snow lotus a few days ago.


    Jun Yanran put on an expression that said "I already guessed it, you don''t need to explain anymore."


    Jun Qiyan blinked her big eyes, looking at Jun Yanran''s righteous words, and felt that it was simply laughable.


    She thought that Jun Yanran had grasped some incredible evidence to find her so aggressively. She didn''t expect that Jun Qianyan would be stupid to such an extent.


    Being used as a gun and being so happy?


    "Oh? You dare to say that I stole the snow lotus? "


    "Then what else can we do? It must be because you, a trash, don''t like it when big sister Yi''ge is a disciple of the Sword Spirit Sect, that you bear a grudge! "


    "Puchi." Jun Qiyan couldn''t help but burst out laughing when she saw Jun Yanran''s expression.


    "Jun Yanran, you''re actually an idiot. I''m sorry, I overestimated you in the past."


    Jun Yanran did not even have the time to curse when she heard Jun Qianyan continue to speak:


    "What you''re saying doesn''t make sense. First of all, you''re talking about the ''Snow Lotus'', and since it''s something that Jun Yunge obtained with a narrow escape from death, it shouldn''t be protected very well."


    "Everyone here knows that I''m a trash without spiritual roots, but I''m actually able to steal things from Jun Yunge, a level six Qi Cultivating Stage cultivator."


    Jun Qiyan openly admitted that he was trash in front of the Jun Family.


    When Jun Qianyan''s words landed, the crowd that had been discussing animatedly turned silent in an instant.


    Everyone looked in the direction of Jun Yanran, waiting for her explanation.


    "You must have used some kind of demonic technique!"


    Jun Qiyan pursed her lips, took a step forward and walked in front of Jun Yanran.


    "You, what are you doing?" Jun Yanran looked at Jun Qiyan with a vigilant expression, as if she was looking at a ferocious beast.


    "Jun Yanran, should I say that you''re innocent and cute, or that you''re foolish? To think that you''re so happy to be used like a gun by someone else."


    Jun Yanran froze on the spot. Jun Qiyan wasn''t in a hurry to expose the other party''s fake smile.


    "What are all of you gathered here for!?"


    Jun Qiyan raised his head and looked outside the door.


    "Grandfather." When Jun Yanran saw the newcomer, her legs gave way and she collapsed onto the ground.


    "Little girl." Jun Qiyan blanked out for a moment. There was only one person who could call her that. It was Jun Mo Chen, who had been outside for so many years.


    "Big brother." Jun Qiyan''s nose twitched as she threw herself into Jun Mo Chen''s embrace.


    During their time together, Jun Qiyan could only become a stranger to her brother, who she had never met before. However, the feelings the original owner had for Jun Mo Chen made it difficult for him to control himself.


    The sudden impact forced Jun Mo Chen to stagger back a step, but he still managed to catch Jun Qiyan.


    "Silly girl, did you suffer?" Jun Mo Chen patted Jun Qiyan''s back gently, his face full of tenderness.


    "Nope." Jun Qiyan said in a choked voice as she felt the warmth of Jun Mo Chen''s embrace.


    "Stinking brat, if I had known earlier, I would have let you stay outside for a few more years!"


    Even though Jun Xuanfeng was unsatisfied with his words, he couldn''t help but look at the figures of Jun Mo Chen and Jun Qianyan with a kind smile on his face.


    "Dye, what''s going on?" Jun Xuanfeng frowned and asked when he saw Jun Yanran lying limp on the ground.


    Jun Qiyan lightly glanced at Jun Yanran, and then lightly said, "It''s nothing. Jun Yanran just said that I stole Jun Yunge''s Snow Lotus."

 C25 Jun Yanran admits her mistakes

    When Jun Xuanfeng heard these words, his complexion suddenly turned extremely unsightly.


    "Yanran, do you have any evidence?" Jun Mo Chen was as calm and elegant as before, but his eyes were cold.


    Jun Yanran''s small face turned pale white, and now she no longer had that domineering attitude from before.


    "Grandpa, Jun Yunge told me that she lost something and thought that Jun Qiyan stole it. Granddaughter, your granddaughter was also deceived by him."


    "Grandpa, please look carefully. I did tell little sister Yanran that it wasn''t you who stole it."


    It was unknown when Jun Yunge had arrived, but he was currently kneeling on the floor and biting his lips, looking extremely pitiful.


    Jun Yunge looked at the person in front of him with a look of disgust in his eyes, but no one noticed the look of disgust in his eyes.


    What a piece of trash! He originally wanted to take over Jun Yanran''s hand and get rid of her, but he didn''t expect her to be so brainless.


    Which of the people present wasn''t intelligent? After connecting the dots, he had a rough idea of what was going on.


    Jun Xuanfeng''s sharp eyes sized up Jun Yunge from head to toe. ''This girl really isn''t simple,'' he thought.


    Jun Yanran started to panic when she saw that Jun Yunge had finished her off with just a few words.


    "Jun Yunge, didn''t you tell me that earlier ¡­"


    "Enough!" Jun Xuanfeng berated angrily.


    Jun Laige was now the last disciple of the Great Elder of the Sword Spirit Sect, so naturally, he couldn''t punish his own status now. Jun Xuanfeng retracted his gaze as he thought about this.


    "Jun Yanran, go kneel in the ancestral hall for a day and a night and reflect on your mistakes."


    Jun Xuanfeng snorted coldly, and heavily knocked his wooden cane on the ground a few times.


    It was only when the crowd had dispersed did Jun Mo Chen and Jun Qianyan finally have the chance to sit down together.


    "Qiyan, I ¡­"


    "Brother, I ¡­"


    The siblings spoke at almost the same time.


    The two of them stared blankly for a moment before smiling at each other.


    "You first." Jun Mo Chen said with a smile.


    Jun Qiyan blinked, then smiled and said, "I can cultivate now, and I have dual elemental spiritual roots."


    Jun Mo Chen was stunned for a moment, and then a huge wave of happiness washed over him like the raging waves of the ocean.


    "Dye, is what you said true?!"


    Jun Qiyan nodded.


    "This is great, in a few days, there will be a treasure that will appear in the Howling Moonwood. Is there a lack of spirit cores when dyeing your alchemy pills?"


    Jun Xuanfeng asked softly.


    Howling Forest ¡­


    Jun Qiyan''s eyes lit up. She had been stuck at a bottleneck for quite some time and if she wanted to break through, she would have to improve through experience.


    What''s more, she needed the magicite gems from the northern mountains.


    "Big brother, I want to go as well."


    Jun Qiyan looked anxiously at Jun Mo Chen, expectation written all over her face.


    Jun Mo Chen was stunned as he hadn''t expected Jun Qiyan to make such a request.


    "No way, no way. The Howling Forest is not too dangerous at all. Moreover, the thing we are looking for is close to our back. That is the main battlefield of the God and Demon War."


    Jun Mo Chen shook his head disapprovingly.


    "Brother, I can protect myself."


    Jun Qiyan frowned. He was very dissatisfied with Jun Mo Chen for treating him as a child.


    Jun Mo Chen''s brows rose as he looked at his sister''s persistent look, and was momentarily at a loss as to what to say.


    "Even if you refuse, I''ll still sneak out by myself."


    Jun Qiyan crossed her arms, a serious expression on her face.


    "Little girl, you have just recovered your talent, why don''t you stay home and cultivate ¡­"


    Before Jun Mo Chen could finish his sentence, Jun Qiyan glanced at him faintly, then continued his questioning with a smile.


    "Big brother, are you looking down on my weak strength?"


    The corner of Jun Mo Chen''s lips curled upwards in embarrassment. He was about to continue speaking when the room was suddenly filled with the strength of a peak Stage Six Qi Cultivating Stage Six martial artist.


    "You ¡­" Jun Mo Chen looked at the tyrannical aura around Jun Qianyan and was instantly struck speechless.


    Jun Mo Chen was silent for a moment, and then sighed.


    "I''ll bring you to the Howling Forest, but grandpa has agreed."


    Seeing that Jun Mo Chen had finally relented, a smile finally appeared on Jun Qiyan''s face.


    As soon as Jun Qianyan and Jun Mo Chen entered the hall, they heard a burst of ghastly wails and wolf howls.


    "Master, you can''t punish Yan''er like this. How can the ancestral hall be so cold? How can you make her kneel for an entire day and night?"


    Shen Shuyi kneeled on the ground, crying towards the person in the main seat with tears and snot streaming down her face.


    "Hmph, now you know that it hurts so much?" Qiyan Yun suffered such grievances in the past, but I also didn''t see you care about her! "


    "And you, that girl Yanran, are all spoiled!" "I shouldn''t have taught her a lesson this time. Who knows what kind of disaster she will create in the future ¡­"


    "Jun Qiyan?!" When Shen Shuyi saw who had arrived, she became even crazier.


    "It''s all because of you little b * tch, why did you harm our Yanran to such a state. How did I give birth to you, you dog ¡­"


    Shen Shuyi''s sharp voice was like a knife cutting through butter, causing everyone to frown.


    "Disaster comes from the mouth. It''s a very simple logic. Madam, you should understand it well."


    Jun Mo Chen narrowed her cold eyes, which were filled with anger. It seemed that if Shen Shuyi said that she was wrong, he would kill her.


    Shen Shuyi was also shocked by the coldness exuding from Jun Mo Chen''s body.


    "Ha! You''re just a dog, but I''m your mother. If it wasn''t for the Jun Family, you would have died a long time ago."


    "Enough."


    Jun Zhentian, who had been silent all this time, glanced coldly at Shen Shuyi.


    Jun Mo Chen was a second rank alchemist, so if he didn''t work for the Jun Family in the future, then that loss wasn''t something that an ordinary man could bear.


    "Grandpa, I was the one that was wrong. Yanran is young and ignorant, just let her go. If she wants to send it, then send it to me."


    Jun Yunge suddenly rushed in from outside and dropped to his knees with a ''plop''.


    When Jun Zhentian saw the kneeling figure of Jun Yunge, his originally cold and gloomy expression became a bit better.


    "Elegy, it''s not your fault."


    Jun Zhentian softly said: "Since Yanran has done wrong, then she should be punished."


    After Jun Zhentian finished speaking, he turned around to Jun Xuanfeng and said:


    "Father, Yanran was wrong this time. I will make people watch as she kneels for one day and one night."


    Jun Xuanfeng''s ashen complexion finally improved a bit. He looked down at Jun Qianyan and the others, and then said to Jun Zhentian.


    "Alright, you guys go out first."

 C26 Attacked

    "Humph!" You stinking brat, what if my darling granddaughter is in danger and you take her dye to a place like the Howling Abyss? "


    Jun Xuanfeng glared furiously at Jun Mo Chen.


    Jun Mo Chen rubbed his nose, not daring to look at Jun Xuanfeng.


    Jun Qiyan didn''t know whether to laugh or cry when she saw Jun Xuanfeng''s worried expression.


    "Grandfather, I have already grown up. Besides, brother will protect me."


    Jun Qiyan winked at Jun Mo Chen, signalling for him to continue.


    "Cough cough, don''t worry grandpa, I''ll definitely bring you back after I''ve dyed you thoroughly!" Jun Mo Chen coughed lightly as he promised immediately.


    "You ¡­" Jun Xuanfeng wanted to say something to stop him.


    Jun Qianyan immediately walked forward and comforted her.


    "Grandfather, I beg of you. Besides, I can''t live under your wing forever."


    Jun Qiyan said coquettishly as she blinked her large watery eyes.


    Jun Xuanfeng''s face was instantly adorable. Jun Qiyan rarely acted coquettishly, to the extent that he had never done so before. Jun Xuanfeng could only wish that he could give his best to the person in front of him.


    "Sigh, forget it."


    Jun Xuanfeng sighed and then looked at Jun Xuanfeng''s position.


    "Stinky brat, if I, Qiyan, miss a single hair when I return, I will skin you alive."


    Jun Xuanfeng threatened fiercely.


    And when he looked at Jun Qiyan, it was a completely different story.


    "Little girl, you should be able to use the spirit pellets inside. Be careful when you''re outside. If you encounter a magical beast, push your brother out."


    Jun Xuanfeng said to Jun Qianyan with a beaming smile, as if he didn''t feel that there was anything wrong with what he had said.


    "Girls have to be clean. Fight and kill it, leave it to your brother."


    Jun Qiyan forced herself to smile as she saw Jun Mo Chen''s expression darken. Then, she quickly took the storage ring from his hand.


    A trace of worry flashed across Jun Xuanfeng''s eyes as he watched the two of them leave.


    Jun Yunrue and the others hadn''t noticed anything, but they hadn''t noticed it either. Jun Yunrue was like a poisonous snake waiting for an opportunity to take action.


    "Miss."


    A man dressed in black appeared in front of Jun Yunge with a respectful expression on his face.


    "Find a chance to kill those two people for me."


    Jun Yunge slightly narrowed his beautiful eyes. As he looked towards the direction that Jun Feiyan had left in, the killing intent in his eyes was overflowing. It was clear that he had a kind and generous impression of himself in front of the crowd.


    "This ¡­" The man in black was obviously surprised for a moment, but then he looked at Jun Laige with some hesitation.


    Only then did Jun Yunge realize that he had once again become weak and delicate in front of others.


    "Flowing Shadow, these few days that woman has been mocking me. She even wanted others to sully my innocence before killing me."


    "I know that my words just now were a bit heavy. I just wanted to teach her a lesson. I didn''t really want to hurt her name."


    Jun Yunge stepped forward and grabbed Liu Ying''s hand, as if he had suffered a great grievance.


    "Miss, don''t worry! This subordinate will definitely teach her a lesson. "


    Flowing Shadow looked at Jun Yunrue''s teary face, and felt as if his heart was about to break. He immediately promised that he would complete the mission.


    She snorted disdainfully as she looked at the departing figure of Flowing Shadow.


    Jun Qiyan, if you go against me time and time again, don''t blame me for being heartless.


    When Jun Qiyan and Jun Mo Chen arrived at the border of the Howling Forest, they found a teahouse and rested for a while.


    "Hey, have you heard? "I heard that a ''Heavenly Flame'' will descend from the Howling Forest soon."


    A bare-chested man said to the knife-scarred man beside him.


    "I heard about it a long time ago. Have the big families and sects taken action yet again?"


    The knife-scarred man squinted his eyes and laughed in a way that made people''s hair stand on end.


    The ''Heavenly Flame'' was the king of all flames. As long as alchemists and refiners could obtain the ''Heavenly Flame'', then their chances of refining high level pills or spiritual weapons would increase by a lot.


    Moreover, the ''Heavenly Flame'' could burn everything. Even a Nascent Soul Stage powerhouse would have to be cautious when encountering the ''Heavenly Flame''.


    Jun Qiyan asked Jun Mo Chen in a low voice.


    Jun Mo Chen shook his head, and suddenly, a blue flame appeared in his palm; a blue flame was fluttering in the breeze.


    "This is ¡­" "This is a ''Heavenly Flame''?"


    In order to not attract attention, Jun Qiyan could not help but use his spiritual sense to ask, and Jun Mo Chen nodded.


    "I chanced upon this in the land of Canaan some years ago."


    Jun Mo Chen said with a faint smile.


    While the two of them were talking, a stream of sword Qi suddenly shot towards the two of them from all directions.


    "Be careful!"


    Jun Qiyan raised his right foot slightly and kicked the chair in front of him behind Jun Mo Chen.


    "Crack!"


    Instantly, wood shavings flew everywhere.


    This sudden turn of events alarmed the people who were drinking the tea around them. Those who had come to drink the tea were either extremely vicious, or were mercenaries.


    He was already used to this kind of situation, and even made a wager on the side.


    Jun Mo Chen turned and looked coldly at the men in black in front of him.


    If not for Jun Qiyan''s timely discovery, he probably would have let these people succeed.


    "Who is it?" Jun Qiyan''s red lips slightly moved. Her cold eyes narrowed as a strong killing intent radiated from her surroundings.


    "The person who will take your life."


    The black clothed man leading the group flashed once more, appearing in the direction of Jun Feiyan and the others.


    Jun Qiyan narrowed his eyes slightly. He snorted coldly as a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes.


    "You dare to be an assassin with such little strength?"


    As she finished speaking, a faint golden light congealed on Jun Qianyan''s white hands, solidifying into a circle in her palm. Then, without hesitation, she changed directions and smashed towards the direction of the black clothed man''s head.


    "How is this possible?" The black-clothed man suddenly cried out in alarm.


    The employer had clearly said that the other party was a trash without spiritual roots.


    And this young lady was clearly at Qi Disciple level 5!


    Jun Qiyan pursed her lips, completely ignoring the shock of the other party.


    The huge amount of spiritual energy smashed into the black clothed man''s head, causing white brain matter and bright red blood to spurt out at the same time.


    After the man in black died, his eyes were still wide open, as if he couldn''t believe what had just happened in front of him.


    How could Jun Mo Chen resolve this situation?


    A black robed man who was wounded tried to escape but was kicked away by Jun Mo Chen. The impact of the kick sent the tables and chairs around flying.

 C27 My life will be yours in the future

    Jun Mo Chen stomped his foot on the black robed man, and fury rarely appeared on his cold face.


    Seeing that the man in front of him did not make a sound, Jun Mo Chen exerted more force with his legs.


    "Not good ¡­"


    Jun Qi took a step forward, and was about to pry open the man''s mouth when the man in black had already committed suicide.


    Seeing this, Jun Qianyan and Jun Mo Chen went to the edge of the Howling Forest instead of staying in the teahouse.


    Due to the ''Heavenly Flames'', the outer area of the Howling Forest was completely surrounded.


    Jun Qiyan''s long and shapely eyebrows lightly knitted together. She clearly had not expected that there would be so many people here.


    "Little girl, let''s set up camp here tonight." Jun Mo Chen pointed to the side of a Hundred Years Old tree, where it was spacious. There were many people around, and even if they were attacked by a magical beast, they wouldn''t have to stand idly by the side and watch.


    Jun Qiyan nodded. He also felt that it was a good place.


    "This young master will take over this place."


    A bulky figure? A man that seemed to weigh at least two hundred kilograms appeared in front of the two of them.


    He looked like a rich kid.


    Jun Qiyan furrowed her brows. With the mindset of not doing more than one thing at a time, she patiently said to the man in front of her,


    "Sir, do you understand the rules of first come first serve?" Jun Qiyan crossed her arms as she coldly looked at the person before her.


    The young master of the rich family also looked at Jun Yunyan with fear. He then coldly snorted and continued, "I''m willing to buy your seat with gold coins. If you know what''s good for you, then hurry up and scram."


    He then took out a bag of gold coins from his bosom and tossed it to Jun Feiyan.


    Jun Mo Chen looked at the gold coins in front of him; the white jade fan in his hand was still there, as warm as jade.


    "Young master, we don''t lack money. If you''re not here to cause trouble, then leave quickly. This way, we can all enjoy ourselves."


    Hearing this, that rich young master was immediately enraged.


    "I paid for your land because I think highly of you. Don''t be so shameless."


    Faced with the other party''s unreasonable provocation, Jun Qiyan''s expression turned cold, but he held it in.


    no attack


    However, that rich young master obviously didn''t know what was going on. He continued to speak arrogantly:


    "Heng, I think you guys aren''t just going to drink the wine and not the penalty wine. Lin Hu, you guys better kill them for me."


    That young master of a rich family said coldly with his head held high.


    Jun Qiyan''s sharp eyes narrowed as her gaze turned frosty. She stared at the sturdy man behind him.


    If she hadn''t guessed wrongly, the other party should be a mercenary with a strength that far surpassed hers. In addition to her years of battle experience, she would probably need some effort to kill the other party ¡­


    Just as Jun Qiyan was thinking about this, that rich young master, seeing that the other party had no intention to make a move, suddenly and harshly berated again:


    "Lin Hu, you dare disobey me?" Aren''t you going to save your sister? "


    Facing the threat of the rich family''s young master, the face of the man called Lin Hu paled as the hand holding the sword began to turn green, as if he was struggling in his heart.


    Jun Qiyan slightly raised her eyebrows, looking at Lin Hu''s expression it seemed as if there was something very difficult to say.


    Jun Qiyan raised her head and looked at Lin Hu as she asked:


    "I think you''re a good man, you''re not willing to do such bullying. Could it be that there''s something that can make you submit to such a despicable person?"


    Seeing that he was called a vile character, the young master of a rich family wanted to curse out loud, but the person behind him spoke first.


    "My little sister is very fond of playing in the Howling Forest. She was accidentally injured by poisonous grass. I don''t have the money to treat her illness, so ¡­"


    Lin Hu lowered his eyelids, concealing the darkness in his eyes. After a full three seconds, a "clang" sound rang out, and Lin Hu hoarsely said:


    "How could I, Lin Hu, Tang Zheng, be unable to do such an unbearable thing? Today, I will not make a move against you. As for my sister''s illness, I will think of another way in the future ¡­"


    Lin Hu said and covered the pain in his eyes as he turned to leave.


    The rich family''s young master panicked when he saw this. He pointed at Lin Hu''s back and loudly cursed: "If you don''t kill these two today, when I get out of here I will definitely report you to the Martial Arts Guild."


    All the mercenaries in the Eastern Xuan Continent were managed by the Martial Arts Guild. Those missions that were accepted were not allowed to be cancelled, otherwise, the employer would have the right to report to the Martial Arts Guild.


    Lin Hu''s body trembled when he heard this, but he continued to walk forward without turning his head.


    Jun Qiyan and Jun Mo Chen looked at each other and smiled, seeing the praise in each other''s eyes towards Lin Hu.


    "Please wait a moment."


    Jun Mo Chen held the folding fan and said elegantly, "I''m not talented, but I''m an alchemist. I wonder if I can help you take a fancy to my younger sister?"


    Upon hearing this, Lin Hu looked back in shock.


    "You ¡­ "You''re an alchemist?!"


    Lin Hu''s eyes widened in disbelief.


    It was a blessing in disguise.


    He originally thought that his little sister was hopeless, but he didn''t expect her to be an alchemist.


    He instantly felt cold sweat trickling down his back. If he really did attack the two in front of him, he would probably die here today.


    Jun Mo Chen looked at Lin Hu''s shocked expression and nodded his head in amusement.


    The complexion of the rich young master also paled a bit. The profession of alchemist was one of the most respected occupations in the East Xuan Continent.


    He knew that this time, he had really kicked against an iron wall.


    However, Jun Mo Chen and the rest were not in the mood to pay attention to the Young Master of the Fu Family.


    Jun Mo Chen frowned as he looked at the young girl before him.


    Lin Yun''s pretty face was almost transparent. Her face was terrifyingly white, and there was not a single trace of blood on her lips.


    After Jun Mo Chen examined the situation for a while, he relaxed his brows and said to Lin Hu who was about to wrinkle his face into a fried dough twist:


    "I have a Grade 2 Antidote Pill with me. You can wake her up in less than an hour after you feed it to her. She will be fine as long as you treat her carefully."


    Lin Hu heard this and his expression became incomparably horrified.


    "Grade-2 pill?!"


    Jun Mo Chen glanced at him indifferently. Since he had promised to treat his son, he would use the best pill he could.


    "You can feed it to your sister now."


    Saying up to here, Mo Chen passed the white jade bottle over to Lin Hu.


    Lin Hu''s hands trembled as he received the pill, his face revealed an excited expression.


    He carefully placed the pill into Lin Yun''s mouth. In a few moments, Lin Yun''s originally pale face turned slightly red.


    There was also a slight blush on his face.


    Lin Hu fell to his knees with a thump as he solemnly looked at Jun Qiyan and Jun Mo Chen.


    "I, Lin Hu, am nothing, and I only have one life to repay the two of you. Today the two heroes saved my sister and in the future my life will be yours."

 C28 thousand-year-old lotus

    Jun Mo Chen helplessly looked at Lin Hu as he helplessly smiled and continued:


    "That''s good as well. In the future, you all will follow her."


    Jun Mochen pointed at Jun Qiyan, who was standing beside him.


    "Yes." Lin Hu did not have any objections.


    While they were talking, the person on the bed had already woken up. Lin Yun opened her eyes weakly as she suppressed her voice and muttered:


    "I''m actually still alive, that''s not right ¡­"


    The young girl seemed to have thought of something as she shouted hoarsely, as though her heart was being torn out.


    "Brother, brother."


    Lin Hu''s eyes were filled with tears as he walked up to look at the person on the bed.


    "Brother, where did you get this pill from? Are you going to work for that beast?" Speak up. "


    Tears the size of beans welled out of the girl''s eyes.


    In her last memory, Qiao Chusheng had found his brother and said that she could save him.


    But that Qiao Chusheng was an animal.


    Every day, she would commit all sorts of crimes. She knew that her brother was righteous, and the person he looked down on the most was someone like Qiao Chusheng.


    If her brother was thinking about that beast lowering its head because of her own illness, then she might as well just die.


    "Yun''er, calm down. I didn''t collude with that beast, it was this young master and young miss who saved you."


    Lin Hu''s nose twitched as he fought back his tears and said to the person in front of him.


    Lin Yun was finally relieved. She didn''t even have time to thank Jun Mo Chen before she fainted once more.


    "Young master, Yun''er, she ¡­" Lin Hu panicked as he hurriedly looked towards Jun Mo Chen for an answer.


    Jun Mo Chen gave Lin Hu a comforting look before continuing, "Don''t worry, she was just too agitated before he fainted."


    Lin Hu let out a breath of relief.


    "Young master and young miss, I still have a bunch of brothers under my command. I''ll have them come tomorrow."


    Lin Hu said to Jun Mo Chen and the rest.


    On the second day, for convenience, Jun Qiyan changed into men''s clothing.


    When she saw the group of mercenaries in Lin Hu''s mouth, she felt three black lines appear on her head because there were about a hundred of them.


    According to Lin Hu, this could already be considered a small mercenary group in the Martial Arts Guild.


    As for the large mercenary groups, there were at least a thousand of them.


    And Lin Hu''s mercenary group was called the Blizzard mercenary group.


    "Brothers, from today onwards, this young master will be our new captain." Lin Hu''s voice was filled with spirit energy as it entered the crowd''s ears.


    The members of the Blizzard Mercenary Company all felt that their captain had gone mad. How could such a skinny youngster become their captain?


    "Captain, are you joking?" This guy has already weaned himself, yet he dares to come to the Howling Forest to roam about, and even has the wishful thinking of becoming our captain. "


    A slightly braver man suddenly laughed out loud. He looked at Jun Qiyan with a provocative gaze, and a look of unwillingness was written all over his face.


    Lin Hu angrily glared at the man before nervously looking at Jun Qiyan.


    The youth''s innocent face did not show any signs of anger.


    "What''s your name?"


    Jun Qiyan asked indifferently.


    The man was obviously stunned for a moment before he raised his neck proudly and said, "Ling Tian Yu."


    "Very good." Jun Qiyan pursed her lips. "Come here."


    Ling Tian then raised his head and took a step forward.


    "Hit me." Jun Qiyan looked at Ling Tian Yu expressionlessly.


    Ling Tian Yu was stunned for a moment before curling her lips in an evil manner: "Hmph, since you say so, then I won''t be polite anymore!"


    As he finished speaking, he sent a palm flying in the direction of Jun Qianyan. Jun Qianyan indifferently received it with her right hand, and her face remained as calm as before.


    Ling Tian Yu''s eyes immediately widened to the size of a copper bell. His palm seemed simple, but it used seventy percent of his strength, and even contained spirit energy ¡­


    He had originally thought that he would be able to easily send the boy flying. He hadn''t thought that he would be so easily broken by the other party.


    While Ling Tian Yu was still in a daze, Jun Qiyan threw Ling Tian Yu to the ground with a shoulder throw.


    "Hiss." The sudden pain from his back made Ling Tian Yu gasp.


    "You don''t have the same thoughts when fighting with your enemy. If you were on the battlefield, you would have turned into a corpse."


    Jun Qiyan looked coldly at Ling Tian Yu, and continued to speak to the mercenaries below:


    "Today I am not here to be your captain, in the future your first commander will be Lin Hu."


    When Jun Qianyan''s words came out, a flurry of discussions broke out beneath the ground.


    Lin Hu''s expression immediately changed.


    "Miss, it''s because Ling Tian Yu doesn''t understand ¡­"


    Lin Hu wanted to continue, but Jun Qiyan shook her head.


    "For a team, they have to have a leader, and the members have to be willing to submit, or else there will be chaos on the battlefield."


    Jun Qiyan said in a deep voice.


    Lin Hu''s expression changed once more but in the end he did not say anything more.


    "Also, Ling Tian Yu has done very well today. Anyone of you who is dissatisfied with me can say it out loud."


    Jun Qiyan looked at the people beside her as she spoke in a low voice.


    Everyone looked at each other. Everyone looked at each other.


    Jun Qiyan didn''t say anything more and just turned around to leave.


    A faint smile appeared on Jun Mo Chen''s face as he looked at the figure of Jun Qianyan walking slowly towards him.


    He had clearly heard the conversation between Jun Qiyan and the Blizzard Mercenary Group just now.


    If Jun Qianyan insisted on being the captain, there would definitely be many people who wouldn''t accept it, just like Ling Tian Yu just now.


    Moreover, they were now in the Howling Forest, so they had to unite together. Otherwise, they might lose their lives.


    Jun Mo Chen looked at his younger sister with gratitude as he had the feeling that his daughter had just grown up.


    Jun Qianyan and the others gradually entered the inner parts of the Howling Forest. Because of the huge size of Jun Qianyan''s group and the fact that the Howling Forest is so large, there are basically some low-level magical beasts and spirit beasts surrounding us.


    Therefore, there were basically no twists or turns on the road.


    Everyone gradually entered the inner area of the Howling Forest.


    "Do you smell anything strange?" Suddenly, a mercenary spoke up.


    Everyone was immediately on high alert. In the Howling Forest, a small plant could cause the deaths of close to a hundred people.


    Jun Mo Chen frowned, and then said joyfully, "This is the thousand-year ancient lotus."


    Jun Qianyan looked at Jun Mo Chen doubtfully. She couldn''t help but ask, "Brother, are you sure?"


    Jun Mo Chen nodded his head and said in a deep voice, "Two years ago, I had the privilege of seeing the thousand-year-old lotus, and that lotus was a medicinal herb with over a thousand years of age."

 C29 The Millennium Lotus that was devoured.

    In the East Peak Mainland, the older the medicinal ingredients, the harder it was to find.


    A thousand year old medicinal plant like the Thousand Year Ancient Lotus was simply priceless. Jun Qiyan''s heart was filled with a rare desire.


    It had to be known that every alchemist''s dream was to obtain medicinal herbs over a thousand years old. Moreover, no matter which type of medicinal pill contained a thousand year old medicinal herb, the grade and effects would be much higher.


    For example, if a grade three Spirit Gathering Pill was added to the Thousand Year Ancient Lotus, a grade three pill would become a grade four medicinal effect.


    Even so, Jun Qiyan was still cautious.


    Everyone followed the fragrance and walked forward. Finally, after an incense stick of time, they slashed down on a lotus in the One-Pun Lake.


    Jun Mo Chen narrowed his eyes slightly. He turned to Jun Yunxiao and said, "Don''t worry, it seems like the thousand-year-old lotus seed hasn''t ripened yet."


    When Jun Qiyan saw this, Lotus, who was standing not far away, lightly nodded her head.


    "Seems like it should only take an incense''s time before it matures. When that happens, it will definitely attract even more experts." Jun Mo Chen said slowly after pondering for a moment.


    "When the time comes, I and the rest of the Blizzard Mercenaries will take care of you as a powerhouse while you and the rest of the Blizzard Mercenaries will collect the fruits."


    Jun Qiyan nodded in agreement, but for some reason, there was an uneasy feeling in her heart.


    For medicinal herbs over a thousand years old like the Thousand Year Ancient Lotus, they would usually have high level spirit beasts to guard it from the side. However, this place was so calm that it made people feel that it was a little strange.


    Jun Qiyan''s eyes were narrowed, it was unknown what he was thinking.


    As time passed, the fragrance emitted by the thousand-year ancient lotus became more and more intense. The fragrance that assaulted the nostrils attracted many spirit beasts and experts.


    Everyone was staring at the ancient lotus on the surface of the lake, waiting for the right opportunity to make their move.


    Finally, the crowd heard a "bo" sound. The originally tightly shut petals instantly bloomed. These demonic flowers were all wrapped within the white and tender fruits.


    The lotus flower gave people a feeling of not touching the mud, Zhouqing, but not Yao.


    It was holy and noble, as if all the beautiful words applied to it were insufficient to describe the beauty of the lotus.


    However, the thousand year ancient lotus in front of him gave off a demonic feeling.


    She was like a fairy that had fallen into the mortal world, but her beauty was still outrageous.


    However, everyone present didn''t have the time to enjoy the beautiful scenery before them.


    Jun Qiyan wasn''t in a hurry to snatch the thousand-year ancient lotus. Instead, he was hidden in the shadows, watching them fight each other to the death.


    If he were to rush up all at once, he would definitely become the target of a siege. He might as well watch as the dogs and dogs. In the end, both sides would suffer and he would reap the benefits.


    It was obvious that there were many people with similar attitudes to Jun Qiyan. Seeing that more and more people were surrounding them, Jun Qiyan could no longer hold back her temper and finally said to Lin Hu:


    "Let''s go."


    Jun Qiyan landed on the ground. Sixty to seventy members of the Blizzard Mercenary Group rushed forward. Taking advantage of the fact that no one in front of him was paying attention to him, he arrived in front of the thousand-year ancient lotus first.


    At the same time, an old man near the age of sixty surpassed Jun Qiyan at an inconceivable speed.


    Jun Qiyan silently cursed as he sped up.


    However, that old man was actually a Xiantian realm cultivator. His speed was simply incomparable to that of Jun Qiyan.


    However, the old man was standing right next to the thousand-year ancient lotus. Jun Qianyan was secretly regretting in her heart. She was only one step away.


    However, before Jun Qiyan could regain her senses, the aura surrounding the thousand-year ancient lotus suddenly turned violent and tyrannical.


    The fragrance that had been assailing their noses had turned into the thick smell of blood and a rotten stench that was difficult to conceal.


    The crowd that was fighting finally came back to their senses. One of them, an old man who had seen a lot, shook like a sieve.


    "We ¡­ we have all been caught in a hallucination array. This ¡­ this isn''t a thousand year ancient lotus at all ¡­"


    "This is the Blood Evil Ancient Lotus ¡­" "Ahhh!" The old man had just finished speaking.


    It was swept away by the vines around the ancient Blood Evil Lotus, and in the next second, it was its food.


    Jun Qiyan was immediately shocked. The Blood Demon Ancient Lotus clearly had spiritual awareness, and its killing moves were clean. It didn''t hesitate at all.


    Following the death of the old man, countless vines began to extend in all directions. In the blink of an eye, over a dozen experts had been killed.


    Countless vines twined around Jun Qiyan, causing her to furrow her brows.


    In an instant, a vine as thick as Jun Qiyan''s arm attacked him.


    Jun Qiyan held a long sword in her hand as she swiftly cut it down. However, what she received in return was even more vines entangling her.


    "F * ck, what the hell is this thing?!" Jun Qiyan tried to sidestep the attack, but was cut.


    Although it was only the size of a pinky finger, the smell of blood still stimulated the nerves of the ancient Blood Demon Lotus.


    In an instant, all the vines disappeared without a trace.


    Jun Qiyan''s heart thumped, and a bad premonition welled up within her heart.


    "Delicious, so fragrant." "Hehe, there''s delicious food."


    Suddenly, a childish laughter sounded in the air, causing people to shudder when they heard it.


    Jun Qiyan swallowed her saliva. She was the closest to the Blood Evil Lotus, so she was well aware that those strange sounds were coming from it.


    "I''m going to eat you ¡­"


    The moment the child''s voice fell, countless vines tightly wrapped around Jun Feiyan. In just an instant, the people who were originally on the shore disappeared without a trace.


    Jun Mo Chen''s eyes were bloodshot as his hands trembled, and he walked step by step towards the lake''s edge.


    "Young Master, don''t be rash!" Lin Hu looked at Jun Mo Chen''s loss of control and immediately became flustered.


    Even after a very long time had passed, Lin Hu still felt a wave of fear whenever he recalled the situation back then. At this moment, Jun Mo Chen''s entire body was exuding an aura of annihilation.


    At this time, how could Jun Mo Chen hear Lin Hu''s persuasion, and his voice was cold to the point that it was beyond words.


    "Let me go."


    "Young, young master ¡­"


    Lin Hu did not even finish his words before he was blasted away by a large force.


    After breaking free from Lin Hu''s restraints, Jun Mo Chen continued to move forward at the same speed as before.


    He did not dare to move too quickly, as if he was afraid of confirming something.

 C30 coalescence

    The bone-penetrating chilliness had completely enveloped Jun Qiyan, causing the vines in the water to rapidly cut through the water, emitting waves of ear-piercing sounds.


    "Fu Chen, don''t you think you can beat this thing?" Jun Qiyan used this spiritual sense to try his best to communicate with the Octadic Snake.


    If this continued, her spiritual energy would definitely dry up and she would die.


    "Tsk, just a Blood Evil Lotus. At my peak, I could crush him to death with a single finger."


    The Octadic Snake proudly raised its head and looked at the thousand-year old lotus in the water with a disdainful look.


    Jun Qiyan gritted his teeth and asked again, "What about now?"


    Octadic Great Snake: "..." "No."


    Jun Qiyan: "!"


    What did she want with this smelly snake?!


    Just as the two of them were chatting, Jun Qiyan was pulled in front of the Blood Evil Lotus.


    In just a moment''s time, Jun Qiyan had completely lost consciousness.


    It was unknown how much time had passed before Jun Qianyan finally opened her eyes. However, what she saw before her eyes was a vast expanse of whiteness.


    Where is this...


    Jun Qiyan looked around, trying to establish a mental connection with the Baji Snake and the ball league, but to no avail.


    Jun Qiyan bitterly smiled. He was truly unwilling to die just like that ¡­


    Jun Qiyan originally wanted to walk around, but when she turned around, she saw a little shota with red hair and red eyes glaring at her.


    Jun Qiyan squatted down and looked at the person in front of him with curiosity.


    "Which child are you, do you know where this is?"


    Jun Qiyan said as he poked the chubby little face.


    Seeing that the other party had dared to treat her like this, the little princess glared at him and said in a childish voice, "You, I am a Blood Evil Lotus, how can I allow an idiot like you to act so arrogantly here?"


    The corner of Jun Qiyan''s mouth twitched as he looked at the little shota in front of him. "The Blood Evil Lotus?"


    Jun Qiyan suddenly felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She didn''t know whether to laugh or cry as she looked at the person in front of her.


    Faced with the other party calling her an idiot and even calling her an idiot, Jun Qiyan resisted the urge to hit her opponent''s little fart.


    Jun Qiyan frowned as he looked around. "So, where the hell is this place?"


    The moment Jun Qiyan said this, the other party''s delicate face immediately wrinkled into the shape of a fried dough twist.


    "Hmph, ignorance. This is our independent spiritual world. Although I don''t know what''s strange about you, to be able to fuse me into your body ¡­"


    Even though Blood Demon Gu Lian had lowered his voice to speak the last sentence, Jun Qiyan still caught it.


    "Idiot, it''s your supreme honor that I can use your body."


    The little shota raised his chin and said arrogantly.


    Jun Qiyan raised her eyebrows. She finally understood what the devilish brat meant.


    The Blood Evil Lotus originally wanted to devour him, but it ended up being devoured by him. Now, if the Blood Evil Lotus''s consciousness devoured him, she would probably disappear forever.


    Jun Qiyan looked at the little shota in front of him. Before he could say anything, he was overpowered.


    "Hmph, idiot. Let me tell you, Yours Truly is ¡­"


    "Pah!"


    A crisp slap sounded in the silent air.


    That little shota looked at Jun Qiyan with a completely red face; his appearance was like that of an angered wife.


    He saw Jun Qiyan pick up the little shota horizontally, and then slap him on the butt.


    "Wuu ¡­" "Idiot, you actually dared to hit me ¡­"


    The Blood Evil Lotus looked at Jun Qiyan in hatred. If looks could kill, Jun Qiyan would have died tens of thousands of times already.


    "What did you call me? Say it the most once! " When faced with the devilish brat calling her an idiot and then calling her an idiot, Jun Qianyan was finally unable to endure it any longer. She squinted her eyes and threatened.


    The Blood Evil Lotus was frightened by Jun Qianyan''s sudden change in expression, but he still held his head up and shouted, "Idiot! Idiot!"


    "Pa, pa, pa." Three consecutive sounds caused a certain flower to shut its mouth.


    Ahh, wuu ¡­." "When she saw the stern expression on Jun Qiyan''s face, she couldn''t help but shrink back her neck.


    What a wicked, ugly woman!


    "Didn''t your parents teach you how to talk to people?"


    Jun Qiyan''s chest slightly rose and fell. It was obvious that he was quite angered. It was precisely because he had parents that had a bad impression of him that he was able to cultivate such a devilish brat.


    "You f * cking Bai ¡­" You crazy woman, this sovereign was born from the heavens, where did you get your parents from? "


    The Blood Evil Lotus roared at Jun Qianyan, who was standing to the side. Its eyes were filled with resentment.


    Jun Qiyan coldly snorted, and continued in a miserable voice:


    "What, you still want to take over my body ¡­"


    The Blood Evil Lotus trembled, and then looked at Jun Qiyan, its big watery eyes saying, "Do you still want me to become a part of you?"


    The little shota bit his lips, as if feeling wronged.


    Jun Qiyan shrugged. "Why not?"


    You idiot ¡­" "AHH!" "Okay, okay, I won''t take you in.


    The little shota''s idiotic words had just left his mouth when Jun Feiyan''s slap landed on his butt.


    "Then what if you take advantage of my inattention ¡­"


    Jun Qianyan looked at the Blood Evil Lotus as if he wanted to say something. The Blood Evil Lotus trembled for a moment before he could not help but mutter to himself,


    "What a heartless woman ¡­"


    Jun Qiyan''s beautiful eyes narrowed. "What did you say?"


    "No ¡­." "Nothing." The little shota pursed his lips and a trace of unwillingness flashed across his face.


    "Alright, alright. I swear that won''t do."


    The Blood Evil Lotus said with a sorrowful expression, "I, the Blood Evil Ancient Lotus, swear that I will not devour Jun Qiyan''s soul consciousness. I will obediently stay within her body."


    Once finished, golden beams of light fell from the sky, landing on the body of the ancient Blood Evil Lotus and disappearing without a trace.


    Seeing this, Jun Qianyan nodded his head in satisfaction.


    Every vow made by the Eastern Xuan Continent was completely different from the modern world. Every single one of those vows were protected by the laws of the world, and those who violated them would never be able to reincarnate.


    Seeing that the ancient Blood Evil Lotus was still grieving, Jun Feiyan couldn''t help but rub its head and then comfort it:


    "Don''t worry. In the future, you''ll be better off having a nice meal with big sister than being here."

 C31

    The dark blue sky and the clear lake merged into one. The bright sun was shining high up in the sky. The dazzling light seemed to pierce everyone''s eyes.


    Jun Qiyan used all the spirit energy in her body to break through the surface of the water. The dazzling red light covered her entire body, causing her small face to become even whiter.


    "Young Master... Miss, she ¡­ she came out! "


    Lin Yun, who was beside them, was immersed in grief. She looked at the people above the water''s surface in pleasant surprise.


    He saw the other party''s red clothes wantonly fluttering about, with 3000 strands of black hair coiling around Jun Yunxiao''s shoulder. A bewitching lotus flower was blooming wantonly between his brows, making his originally unassuming appearance particularly dazzling.


    Her beautiful eyes narrowed as she looked at the people below her, causing a sense of respect to rise up in her heart for no reason.


    "Little girl ¡­" Jun Mo Chen mumbled to himself as he looked at the man on the lake''s surface; a look of ecstasy appeared on his face.


    "Girl, are you alright?"


    Jun Qiyan looked at Jun Mo Chen''s nervous expression, shook his head with a smile, and felt a deep sense of warmth in his heart.


    "I''m fine."


    When Jun Mo Chen heard this, he could finally relax a little.


    Jun Qiyan cast a glance at the crowd and shook his head at Jun Mo Chen, indicating that it would be difficult for them to speak further.


    They found a tent by the lake and prepared to spend the night there.


    "That''s what happened." Jun Qiyan played with the teacup in his hand as he spoke to Jun Mo Chen at the side in a low voice.


    Jun Mo Chen''s expression instantly turned complicated. The Blood Evil Lotus had always been the one to take the blame of others, and no one had ever been able to subdue it before.


    His little sister was simply too heaven-defying.


    "It''s good that you''re fine."


    The corners of Jun Mo Chen''s lips curled up as he forced out those words.


    "If there''s nothing else, I''ll be leaving first."


    Jun Mo Chen pursed his lips and said.


    Jun Qiyan nodded in agreement.


    Listening to the sound of Jun Mo Chen''s footsteps as he walked away, Jun Qianyan''s coquettish face turned pale in an instant.


    Her petite body could not help but tremble from the immense pain.


    "Mother ¡­" You, what happened to you? " When Ball saw Jun Qiyan''s weak appearance, he immediately panicked.


    "This sovereign''s power is too great. She can''t digest it in such a short time."


    As Gu Lian saw the anxious expression on the ball, he couldn''t help but twitch his mouth.


    "Damned woman, try and absorb this energy. If you are able to successfully refine it, your strength will soar. Of course, if you are unable to refine it ¡­"


    Although the Octadic Snake didn''t finish his words, everyone understood what he meant.


    If he didn''t, his body would explode and he would die.


    As Jun Qiyan heard these words, he frowned. He stepped into the Nuwa Stone and began to absorb the power of the Blood Demon Lotus.


    The dark night and the wind were high. The howling night was especially tranquil. The gentle moonlight scattered down onto the earth, covering it with a thin layer of silver cloth.


    The little person in the tent had a pale face, and his lips, which were originally bright red, had now become terrifyingly white. Beads of sparkling and translucent sweat covered the other party''s face.


    After an unknown period of time, Jun Qiyan finally emerged from the Nuwa Stone. He was breathing heavily as he laid on his bed. Although he hadn''t slept for the night, Jun Qianyan still felt exceptionally refreshed.


    "Damned woman, you ¡­ how are you?"


    The Octadic Snake had taken the form of a human and appeared by Jun Qiyan''s side. The tall figure''s appearance made the tent especially narrow.


    Jun Qiyan turned her head to look at Fu Cheng, who was standing to the side. A trace of ridicule flashed across her face.


    "Ss, no way. It hurts."


    Jun Qiyan suddenly became lost in his thoughts, his face full of pain.


    "You, what happened to you?!"


    Upon seeing this, the face of the Octadic Snake immediately changed. Only panic remained on its originally arrogant and pampered face.


    "You don''t hurt." The Octadic Snake nervously looked at Jun Qiyan.


    "It hurts everywhere. Aiyo, I feel so bad."


    Jun Qiyan hugged her body and rolled around. It seemed as if she was in extreme pain.


    "Pain all over ¡­" That''s not right. " As Fu Chen mumbled to himself, his extremely handsome face was now twisted into a blur.


    After the air had quieted down for three to four seconds, the Octadic Snake suddenly jumped up and looked at Jun Qiyan. His face was flushed red, and his eyes looked as if they wanted to tear Jun Qiyan''s hand apart.


    "You, you damned woman, how dare you swindle me!"


    The moment she said that, the woman who was originally in so much pain suddenly stopped and burst out in laughter.


    "Hahahahaha!"


    "You stupid woman!"


    Seeing Jun Qiyan pointing at him and laughing as if nothing had happened, some divine beast felt as if its dignity had been severely damaged. Its face immediately turned as black as the bottom of a pot.


    Then he turned away from some scheming woman.


    "Cough, cough." Seeing that the Octadic Snake was truly angry, Jun Qiyan coughed lightly. Only then did she stop her laughter, and looked at the snake with a playful look in her eyes.


    "It''s really rare for our honorable Lord Divine Beast to care about a mere mortal like me."


    Jun Qiyan nudged the snake''s waist with his elbow, trying to make it look at him.


    However, the snake did not even move. It clearly did not want to bother with Jun Qiyan.


    "Tsk, why aren''t you responding to me ¡­" Jun Qiyan rubbed his chin, a troubled look on his face.


    As expected, just as Jun Qianyan finished speaking, a proud and pampered snake opened its mouth and said somewhat uncomfortably,


    "This sovereign doesn''t care about you. Don''t think too much of yourself, you damned woman."


    "If that''s the case, then who was so worried about me just now?" Jun Qiyan raised his eyebrows as he waited for the other party''s explanation.


    An abnormal blush gradually appeared on the handsome face of the Octadic Great Snake. It was extremely suspicious, and even a faint blush appeared on the tip of his ears.


    "I did it all for the Lord of the Nine Heavens. What if you die?"


    The Octadic Snake stretched its neck and refused to admit it.


    Jun Qiyan looked at the proud and pampered person in front of her with a smile, and did not continue to poke at it.


    "How much have you absorbed from the Blood Evil Lotus?"


    Seeing that Jun Qiyan was not continuing to interrogate him, the Baji Snake quickly changed the topic.


    "I only absorbed a small part of it. Although I can''t die from exploding my body, the remaining energy has suppressed my Spiritual Energy by more than half. Right now, I''m only at the Third Stage of Qi Cultivating Stage."


    Thinking of this, Jun Qiyan felt extremely depressed. Within the Howling Forest, one could only be at the third level of Qi Cultivating Stage. This was no different than courting death.


    Thinking of this, Jun Qiyan once again dove into the Nuwa Stone and began another round of refinement.

 C32

    Jun Qiyan stayed in the Nuwa Stone for more than a month before he finally absorbed all of the Blood Demon Lotus'' power.


    The power of the Blood Evil Lotus had allowed Jun Qiyan to successfully step into the early stage of Qi Disciple level 7, and he had even become proficient in alchemy.


    "Girl, grandpa replied to you." Jun Mo Chen was dressed in white, and there were golden waves engraved on his sleeves. He walked over slowly with a gentle expression and a smile in his eyes.


    When Jun Qiyan heard this, he hurriedly took the envelope from Jun Mo Chen''s hand.


    As he opened the envelope, the vigorous and forceful words appeared before Jun Qianyan''s eyes.


    Jun Qiyan''s expression instantly turned very gentle.


    The rest of the discussion was about the competition between the ''Heavenly Flames'' and ''Heavenly Flames''. The other members of the four great families would also participate. Even some of the super sects would send out their members.


    Jun Qiyan wasn''t too surprised by this. The appearance of a ''Heavenly Flame'' had always provoked a bloody storm, and it was common for several large families to participate.


    Just as the two were reading the letter, Lin Hu suddenly appeared in front of Jun Yunyan and the rest.


    "Miss, Young Master, I heard that the Heavenly Flame has appeared in the northern mountains." Lin Hu arrived at the side of Jun Qiyan and Mo Chen. His expression faltered slightly as he looked at the two people in front of him.


    Upon hearing the words'' Heavenly Flame '', Jun Qianyan''s white fingers trembled for a moment, before returning to normal.


    Jun Mo Chen took a sip of his tea, and turned to look at the man in front of him as he asked in a low voice:


    "The ''Heavenly Flame'' has appeared. Little girl, what do you think?"


    Jun Qiyan''s red lips slightly curled as he was called out, and his pleasant voice streaked across the air, entering the ears of everyone present.


    "Since it''s a treasure, it naturally belongs to you."


    Jun Qianyan raised her eyebrows as she looked at Jun Mo Chen. First of all, she definitely needed the ''Heavenly Flame'' to refine pills, and second of all, she needed to make a good trip to the nearby northern mountains.


    Jun Mo Chen frowned, a look of worry flashing across his eyes.


    "The ''Heavenly Flame'' can burn everything in the world. If you want to contract it, you must get close to it. When I first signed the ''Heavenly Flame'', I was almost burnt to ashes by that thing."


    Jun Mo Chen frowned as he spoke with fear in his heart; it was obvious that the ''Heavenly Flame'' had brought him many unpleasant memories.


    Jun Qiyan rested her cheek in her hand, blinked her large, watery eyes, and said in a delicate voice, "Even if we can''t get the ''Heavenly Flames'', it''s still good to go there and gain experience."


    Jun Mo Chen could only nod in agreement when he saw that Jun Qianyan was adamant about this.


    The closer they got to the north of the forest, the more dangerous the Howling Caves became. The members of the Blizzard Mercenaries all braced themselves for any sudden attacks by magical beasts.


    Jun Qiyan''s beautiful eyes darted about as she surveyed her surroundings.


    "What is that place in front of Lin Hu?"


    Jun Qiyan raised her eyebrows as she looked at the various houses nearby. She couldn''t help but feel a little surprised in her heart.


    As far as the Howling Forest was concerned, this place was relatively close to the north. The surrounding demonic beasts were rampaging about, and there were actually people living here ¡­


    Miss, most of the disciples over there are mercenaries and the disciples from the gates. This is the northern mountain range, so there are very few magical beasts here.


    "Those who came out to train and the mercenaries are used to resting here, after a while it became a small village."


    Lin Hu looked at the nearby buildings and truthfully said.


    While they were talking, a rustling sound suddenly came from the forest. The originally clear sky turned dark in an instant.


    "Everyone, be careful."


    The sudden strange noise made everyone panic.


    At this time, the expression on Jun Qiyan''s face was abnormally calm.


    "Watch your surroundings."


    Just as Jun Qianyan finished his sentence, an earth-shattering roar seemed to shake the eardrums of everyone present.


    Not too far away, a figure could be seen pouncing on the group of mercenaries. In the blink of an eye, both sides of the group had lost their lives.


    "Yes, it''s a magical beast of the second rank, the Stormlion."


    Lin Hu looked at the nearby magical beast that was still in the middle of its massacre, his face changed as he cried out in alarm.


    Jun Qiyan furrowed his brows. The Gale Lion was a Class 2 Magical Beast, not a very high rank. However, the difficulty lay in its speed.


    Normally, after killing a few of you, you would run away without being able to catch up to them. This was also one of the magical beasts that mercenary groups didn''t want to encounter.


    "Little girl, that Whirlwind Lion is strange."


    Jun Mo Chen looked at the huge figure not far away, and said to Jun Qiyan in a low voice.


    "Normally, after killing two or three cultivators, the Gale Lion would run away and appear in front of an escaping aristocratic family in a few seconds."


    "On the other hand, this Stormlion has been persecuting me relentlessly, and its eyes are red ¡­"


    Jun Mo Chen frowned, his face filled with worry as he held his fan in his hand.


    "This Whirlwind Lion must have been controlled by something. It''s currently in a berserk state."


    The Octadic Snake said with a serious tone.


    When Jun Qiyan looked at the Gale Lion again, the Gale Lion had already been killed.


    "Be careful, there''s something strange around here."


    The voice of the Baji Snake once again rang out in Jun Qiyan''s ears.


    A rare grave expression appeared on Jun Qiyan''s face.


    When the villagers saw that Jun Qianyan and the others had arrived, Lianshan was not too surprised. However, there was a look of worry on everyone''s faces.


    "There''s something strange about this villa."


    Jun Qiyan slowly said in the ears of his subordinate, Mo Chen.


    Jun Mo Chen was still smiling, but there was a trace of peculiarity in his expression.


    "Have you heard? Tonight, that demon has captured another young man and woman."


    "Shh, lower your voice. Have you forgotten, last time ¡­"


    The conversation between the two villagers who passed by all entered the ears of Jun Qiyan and the others.


    Jun Mo Chen''s eyes were as deep as the night as he said solemnly to Jun Qiyan, who was standing beside him.


    In a strange place, if you play hero without knowing anything about the place, you will only end up losing your life.


    "Close the doors and windows when you sleep tonight. Don''t sleep too deeply, come find me if there''s anything strange." Jun Mo Chen looked at the vile man in front of him, and said worriedly.


    Jun Qiyan nodded with a hint of amusement, yet in her heart, she decided not to sleep tonight.

 C33

    Early in the morning, wisps of sunlight landed on the girl''s face like feathers, tickling her.


    Jun Qiyan''s curly eyelashes trembled slightly. It seemed as if she had spent a great deal of effort to wake up from her nightmare.


    Jun Qiyan blankly stared at the unfamiliar environment in front of him. The young men and women who were fighting over the ''Heavenly Flame'' were all missing ¡­


    All of the memories flooded into Jun Qiyan''s mind. She had originally planned to train for the night last night.


    However, in the middle of the night, a sudden gust of cold wind blew in from the window. Before she could react, she had already lost consciousness ¡­


    "Big brother ¡­" Jun Qiyan suddenly realized something. She didn''t have time to change out of her wrinkled clothes as she staggered to Jun Mo Chen''s room next door.


    Jun Qiyan pushed open the door abruptly. The clean room was like the clean air around Jun Mo Chen, but the room was empty.


    Jun Qiyan slowly closed her eyes and forced herself to calm down. She then ran to the residence of the Blizzard Mercenaries.


    It was as if over a hundred people had vanished into thin air.


    Jun Qiyan found the owner of the inn and asked him about what had happened last night.


    The innkeeper''s face didn''t show much surprise when he heard Jun Qianyan''s question. It was obvious that he was accustomed to this kind of thing.


    "That demon is in the northern mountains. I''d advise you not to go. There were many cultivators who wanted to investigate it, but not a single person returned."


    The innkeeper sighed and slowly said to Jun Qiyan.


    A hint of solemnity flashed across Jun Qiyan''s face. If anyone else disappeared, she could just stand by and watch without doing anything.


    However, that person was Jun Mo Chen.


    "Do you know the exact location of the demon?" Jun Qiyan bit her lips. Her fingertips trembled, and the depths of her eyes turned dark.


    The inn owner pondered for a moment, then continued, "It should be in a cave in the northern mountains. There is not a single blade of grass growing outside the cave, making it very conspicuous."


    Jun Qiyan nodded in thanks, packed his luggage, and walked out of the inn to the northern mountains. The northern mountains were filled with a cold, sinister aura, and the sound of magical beast roars could be heard from far away.


    The feeling it gave people was especially terrifying.


    Jun Qiyan looked around, and sure enough, there was an extremely conspicuous cave not too far away. It was surrounded by lush, verdant trees.


    However, the surroundings of the mountain cave were completely desolate.


    "Mother, be careful. This place is very strange." The ball could not help but speak out in his mind.


    Even if the ball didn''t warn her, she would still be extra careful.


    Jun Qiyan slowly stepped into the cave. The walls were covered in moss, and the deeper inside he went, the emptier and drier it became.


    It was only when Jun Qiyan had reached the end that he finally saw a crimson door; it was as if it had been dyed red with blood.


    Jun Qiyan, who was slumped on the ground at the door, was looking for Jun Mo Chen.


    "Brother." When Jun Qiyan saw the pale-faced Jun Mo Chen, she could not help but exclaim out loud.


    However, when Jun Qiyan''s hands made contact with Jun Mo Chen, his body turned into many stars in the blink of an eye, and disappeared without a trace, which made him look exceptionally resplendent.


    "Not good, damn you, get out." The Octadic Snake seemed to have suddenly realized something, and his expression became anxious. His voice rose a little as he hastily shouted at Jun Qiyan.


    Before Jun Qiyan could react, the dust around them suddenly rose up. The narrow wall disappeared without a trace in an instant, and was replaced by a field of white snow.


    Damn it! Jun Qiyan cursed in his heart as he repeatedly reminded himself that he had actually fallen into that demon''s trap.


    "This is the illusion created by the demon." The anxious voice of the ball resounded in Jun Qiyan''s ears.


    Jun Qiyan''s eyes were ice-cold. She casually took out a sharp sword from the spatial ring that Jun Xuanfeng had given her, in case she needed it right away.


    "Do you know how to break this illusion array?" Jun Qiyan''s voice was like ten thousand year old ice, and his expression was fierce as well.


    "It''s not that hard to break this kind of illusion array." The ball pondered for a moment and then continued, "As long as you can break the eye of the magic array, it''ll be fine."


    Jun Qiyan walked around in a circle, surrounded by snow and snow.


    There was no way to find the so called Formation Aperture.


    In that instant, countless gales and snow fell from the sky.


    A huge ape dropped down from the sky, and the earth seemed to shake three times the moment it landed.


    The ape was three feet long, and its body was snow-white. It had a pair of scarlet eyes, making it seem especially terrifying.


    Jun Qiyan gripped her longsword tightly as she stared at the giant ape with rapt attention.


    "This giant ape is the core of the illusion array. As long as you can kill him, the array will naturally be broken."


    The childish voice of the ball resounded in Jun Qiyan''s ears.


    Jun Qiyan: "?"


    Didn''t he say that this illusion array was very easy to break?!


    Balls innocently blinked his big, watery eyes, then said with a bit of grievance, "Breaking through the Formation Aperture will allow you to leave. Mom, I''m not wrong."


    Jun Qianyan immediately tasted the feeling of being left speechless. At this moment, she didn''t have time to say anything to ball. The giant ape that was originally a bit crazy had already rushed towards Jun Qianyan.


    Jun Qiyan stabbed his sword towards the giant ape with an incalculable speed with his right hand.


    However, the giant ape was completely unharmed. Not even a single strand of hair was lost.


    On the other hand, the longsword in Jun Qiyan''s hand was broken into three pieces by the shock. Jun Qiyan could not help but curse silently in her heart.


    The giant ape''s hair was as hard as a rock, and ordinary weapons could not hurt it at all.


    "The neck, the neck, is this beast''s fatal weakness." The lazy voice of the Octadic Snake slowly sounded.


    Upon hearing these words, Jun Qiyan''s eyes instantly became sharp, and she took out a dagger from her storage ring.


    He then leaped up and landed on the back of the giant ape. Countless hairs covered Jun Qiyan''s body in an instant.


    At the same time, countless unspeakable scents rushed into her nose. However, Jun Qiyan still forced herself to hide within it.


    At this moment, Jun Qiyan only wanted to curse. This fellow had probably never taken a bath since his birth!


    When the giant ape saw the delicacy disappear without a trace in an instant, it immediately became extremely frenzied.


    The huge figure started to sway randomly, but this way, it would be difficult for Jun Qiyan, who was trying her best to climb up the giant ape''s body.


    Jun Qiyan stabbed the dagger into the ape''s flesh to stabilize its body.


    The sudden pain made the giant ape furious. At the same time, it also realized that the tiny human was hiding behind its back.

 C34

    Jun Qiyan climbed up the mountain step by step with his dagger, but the pain from the stab of his dagger caused the body of the giant ape to itch uncontrollably.


    The huge palm struck out like lightning towards Jun Feiyan''s direction. Jun Feiyan''s face turned pale as she quickly moved her body, barely managing to escape this calamity.


    Since Jun Qiyan''s figure was too petite and the giant ape''s claws were too large, it was simply unable to touch his existence. Thus, the other party could only ruthlessly grit his teeth.


    After a moment of hesitation, he tore off the fur on his body.


    Suddenly, a large piece of meat was exposed to the air. Countless amounts of blood poured out of the meat. The thick smell of blood completely covered the smell of the giant ape''s body.


    Jun Qiyan didn''t dare to think too much about it, and continued to climb.


    In the time it took for an incense stick to burn, Jun Qiyan had already climbed up to the neck of the giant ape. She raised the dagger in her hand, and was about to cut open the throat of the giant ape.


    The giant ape didn''t care about the burning pain in its back. At this moment, it finally realized that it was very likely that it would lose its life in the hands of Jun Qiyan.


    At that moment, the surroundings of the giant ape suddenly suffused with a pure black demonic aura, and mixed within it was an intolerable rancid smell.


    "It is trying to catalyze the demon qi in its gall bladder. It wants to have a life or death battle with you."


    Fu Cheng said in a playful tone, as if he was watching a good show.


    Jun Qiyan wiped away the blood at the corner of his mouth, then coldly said to the Octadic Snake, "You''re still watching a good show. Don''t forget that we signed a contract. If I die, don''t even think about getting over it."


    Jun Qiyan threatened fiercely.


    With that, Fu Cheng''s originally playful expression disappeared in an instant, "Damned woman, if you can''t even deal with a low level magical beast, then you''re not worthy to be my master."


    Jun Qiyan ignored Fu Chen''s words. She knew in her heart that in this crisis, that fellow would not sit idly by.


    It had to be known that as long as one of the two magical beasts or spirit beasts that signed the contract died, the other would suffer the backlash of the contract and die.


    Jun Qiyan retracted her thoughts. She didn''t hesitate to insert the dagger in her hand into the neck of the giant ape.


    Roar ~ ~ ~" A low roar filled with pain rolled over with an overwhelming aura.


    As for Jun Qiyan, who was the closest to the giant ape, he was shaken until he spat out a mouthful of blood.


    Her hands lost their strength and her body fell uncontrollably to the ground.


    The giant ape''s crimson eyes became especially terrifying.


    Jun Qiyan clutched her chest as she stared fixedly at the gigantic beast in front of her.


    "Damned snake, if you don''t save me, we''ll really die here today."


    "Damned woman, are you done for just like that?"


    The Octadic Snake disdainfully said, but even though he said that, that familiar black figure still floated down.


    "Bastard, quickly retreat when you see this sovereign!"


    Fu Cheng''s melodious voice reverberated in the surroundings, and a domineering aura that seemed to have come from nature began to appear.


    However, at this moment, the giant ape had completely lost its mind and was quickly starting to attack.


    The smile on Fu Cheng''s face became increasingly obvious when he saw the giant ape acting in such a manner.


    "What a reckless person."


    With that said, Fu Chen stretched out his arm and formed a palm with his fist, forming countless black fog in the middle of Fu Cheng''s palm.


    With an unbelievable speed, Fu Chen charged towards the giant ape. His speed easily tore through the air, surpassing the time limit.


    The huge palm instantly passed through the giant ape''s body. The moment the giant ape fell, Fu Chen muttered in a low voice,


    "You should never have hurt her. You hurt her so much, I want your name back."


    As soon as his voice fell, the giant ape''s large body fell to the ground with a bang.


    The clouds in the sky suddenly disappeared and countless spatial rifts appeared. It was as if the clouds had collapsed.


    Fu Cheng picked up Jun Qiyan who was lying on the ground and carried her, then he walked towards the black holes in the ground.


    In just a few seconds, the snowy ground had returned to its original state.


    After Jun Qiyan consumed the pill, she slowly woke up. She looked at the bright red door before her and pushed it open without hesitation.


    "Creak ¡­"


    A sound similar to a broken tree branch resounded in Jun Qiyan''s ears. The clear sound was exceptionally clear in the spacious cave.


    Jun Qiyan frowned. She couldn''t bear to look at the bottom of her feet; it was a pile of white bones.


    Jun Qiyan raised his head and looked ahead of him. He saw a small hill made of piles of bones. A skull was facing his face, as if he wanted to say something.


    In that instant, Jun Qiyan''s small face turned deathly white. When she had been hunted down in her previous life, she had seen these sorts of things too often.


    In her previous life, in order to avoid being hunted down, she hid in a pile of corpses for three days and three nights. From then on, she was extremely disgusted with things like corpses.


    "Do you know what this is?"


    "Human bones."


    It was just two simple words.


    The Octadic Snake couldn''t help but raise his eyebrows. He didn''t expect this woman to have some guts. If it were anyone else, they would have already screamed out in fear when they saw the mountain of human bones.


    "You''re not afraid?" The Octadic Snake could not help but ask.


    Jun Qianyan suppressed the discomfort in her heart and indifferently replied, "It''s only a pile of bones. What''s there to be afraid of?"


    When Fu Cheng heard this, he couldn''t help but feel a hint of admiration.


    "These corpses didn''t come from the illusion array. Damn woman, I saved one of you."


    Fu Cheng raised his chin arrogantly, looking as if he was taking credit for something.


    "Thank you." Jun Qiyan said in a cold and detached voice.


    "Hmm? What did you say? " Fu Cheng twitched his ears inconspicuously, then pretended not to hear anything.


    Jun Qiyan pursed his lips, not intending to deal with the snake any longer.


    "Hey, hey, hey, no matter what, I am your savior. How can a single thank you be enough? You have to promise me your life no matter what, no?!"


    Fu Cheng muttered with a discontented expression on his face, following behind Jun Qiyan.


    The people in front of her heard the whisper of a snake, and she stopped, then turned and stopped.


    "Ai ai, you ¡­"


    Fu Chen clearly didn''t expect the person in front of him to suddenly stop. He suddenly stopped, and the distance between the two of them was reduced to ten li.


    So close...


    The unique fragrance of the young girl lingered on the tip of her nose. The white tips of the big snake''s ears instantly emitted an abnormal layer of red.


    However, someone who was born to be an emotional idiot had to be. She stood on her tiptoes and leaned forward slightly. Her pair of clear eyes narrowed, making her look like that of a lazy cat.

 C35

    "So noisy."


    These two simple words were like a bucket of cold water, completely extinguishing the small flame that was burning fiercely in the heart of Fu Cheng.


    After calming down, Fu Cheng could not help but mutter, "Damn woman."


    "How do we get there?"


    Jun Qiyan''s clear and cold voice interrupted the floating chattering.


    Jun Qiyan was completely oblivious to the strange behavior of the people behind her. As she looked at the pile of bones in front of her, she couldn''t help but feel a bit apprehensive.


    Due to his previous life''s experiences, Jun Qiyan no longer wanted to deal with the dead.


    "Ah ¡­" It''s very simple. " At Jun Qiyan''s call, the Octadic Snake snapped back to life, and a cloud of black mist shrouded the many white bones.


    The hill that was originally standing in front of Jun Qiyan had turned into a pile of ashes.


    The corners of Jun Qi''s mouth stiffened. It really was simple ¡­


    "Tsk, tsk, tsk."


    The young woman''s small face was extremely delicate, her uplifted phoenix eyes were captivating, and the teardrops in her eyes were even more charming.


    That person could not even be considered a woman. To be more accurate, she was half human, half snake.


    The upper half of her body was that of an incomparably enchanting human girl, while the lower half of her body was a five meter long serpent tail.


    "Baji Snake, you really do get worse the more you live. You actually dare to mingle with humans."


    The Lamia fixed her eyes on Jun Qiyan, then she narrowed her beautiful eyes and looked at the Octadic Snake once again.


    Jun Qiyan looked at the Octavo Snake in astonishment. The two snakes actually knew each other.


    "Tsk, Medusa, how good can you be?"


    The Octadic Snake held its arm and looked at the snake girl in front of it with disdain.


    Medusa and the Octadic Snake were both members of the twelve demon generals under the command of the devil gods.


    However, since the two snakes were both of the snake race, their strength was equal. Thus, the two snakes continued to clash with each other, neither of them convinced of the other''s strength.


    "Where''s your precious hair? Isn''t it how it looks like when you''re human?"


    "You! Shut your mouth. "


    Medusa suddenly looked like a cat whose tail has been stepped on. Her eyes were as big as bells.


    Medusa''s hair was originally made up of countless little snakes, but after the Great War of Gods and Demons, her magic was greatly reduced. The green snakes that covered Medusa''s head had also turned into long hair like a human''s.


    When Jun Qiyan heard this, the expression on his face immediately became multi-colored.


    In her previous life, she had heard about the story of Medusa. However, she did not expect that there would actually be such a legendary person in the Eastern Xuan Continent.


    "You betrayed the demons and colluded with the humans. Today, I am going to clean up the mess on behalf of the Demon God!"


    Seeing that the two snakes were about to fight, Jun Qianyan had a bad premonition. She still vividly remembered the battle between the Ninth Master and the man in white.


    The feeling of being almost torn to shreds by the two streams of air was still vividly remembered by Jun Feiyan even to this day.


    "If you want to fight, of course I''m happy to accompany you, but we''re still in the mortal world. If we lose, then we would be set up by someone, and it would be hard for us to survive."


    Tyrannical God said in a cold voice.


    Medusa immediately could not refute him. As the demonic energy in the Eastern Profound Continent was sparse, the road to the Demon World had long been sealed off, and only the northern mountains of the Eastern Xuan Continent had the demonic energy.


    Therefore, the recovery speed of the demonic beasts on the Eastern Profound Continent was extremely slow. Even the ancient vicious beasts like the Octadic Snake Medusa took nearly ten thousand years to recover and they could still take human form.


    "Even so, we cannot deny the fact that you betrayed the demon race and surrendered to humanity."


    Medusa lowered her voice and narrowed her eyes as she coldly glared at Jun Qianyan.


    Due to Jun Qiyan''s distance from the two of them, Medusa had deliberately lowered her voice, so she was unable to hear what the two snakes were saying.


    He was also baffled by Medusa''s glare.


    "My king told me to sign a contract with her and protect her perfectly." The face of the Octadic Snake turned dark as he looked at the person behind him. It was unknown what he was thinking about.


    "How is this possible? We absolutely cannot surrender to humans!" Medusa did not believe what the Octadic Snake had said at all.


    "Can I even recognize our king wrongly?"


    The Octadic Great Snake glanced at Medusa and spoke with a cold voice.


    Medusa shut her mouth after hearing these words. However, a faint cold glint still remained in her dark green eyes.


    Jun Qiyan rubbed her nose. She wasn''t really curious about what the snakes had said. She just wanted to know where her brother and the members of the Blizzard Mercenaries were.


    "Alright, what are all of you doing here this time?"


    Medusa raised her chin as she arrogantly glanced at Jun Feiyan.


    When Jun Qiyan saw that Medusa had mentioned him, he hurriedly said, "Did you kidnap a bunch of boys and girls last night?"


    Jun Qiyan stared at Medusa''s dark green eyes, wanting to see if there was anything fishy about them.


    Medusa mused for a moment before speaking.


    Jun Qianyan did not expect that Medusa would actually be so generous as to admit it. She hurriedly continued.


    "Those people are my friends and companions. I hope that you can let them go."


    Jun Qiyan took in a deep breath as he spoke of his purpose for coming here.


    Hearing the word "release", Medusa appeared out of nowhere and her enchanting face instantly twisted.


    When Jun Qiyan saw this, he suddenly had a bad feeling.


    "Release him? Let them go, and what will happen to my children? "


    Medusa snorted coldly. From the looks of it, she had no intention of releasing Jun Mo Chen and the rest.


    Upon hearing these words, the body of the Octadic Snake jolted and the expression on his face became strange. He knew that after the great war between the gods and devils ten thousand years ago, Medusa had disappeared without a trace.


    For ten thousand years, Divine Beasts only had one child, so they all gave birth in desolate places, so as to not be disturbed by others.


    As Medusa''s voice fell, a small snake the size of a hand appeared in her palm.


    "This... This is your child?! "


    The Octadic Great Snake looked at the small snake in Medusa''s palm in shock, disbelief written all over his face.


    A Magical Beast of the same grade as Medusa. Even if it was born, it should be as long as a human arm. However, the one in Medusa''s hand was pitifully small.


    The corner of Medusa''s mouth curled up into a cold smile. She stared at Jun Feiyan and then coldly said, "The reason why my child is like this is because of you humans."

 C36

    36. Become a Grade Seven Alchemist within three years


    "While I was carrying this light glory, I was accidentally discovered by that group of humans. They tricked me into trusting them, and just when I was about to give birth to Qingqi, they caught me."


    Medusa slowly closed her eyes, recalling the most painful memory of her life.


    "Those humans gave me a strange pill that allowed me to give birth to Qingcai in advance. Afterwards, I was always imprisoned, and when I recovered and snatched Qingcai back, it became like this."


    As she finished speaking, Jun Qianyan suddenly felt an incomparable complex emotions. It was not impossible for a human to do such a thing to Medusa out of greed.


    "Right now, I can only use those young men and women around the age of 20-30 to prolong my life."


    Medusa slowly opened her eyes. A firm glint flashed across them.


    "But my brothers have never harmed you or your children."


    Jun Qiyan frowned, disagreeing with Medusa''s actions.


    Medusa was a little deranged now, and for the sake of her children, she could easily hurt innocent people.


    "Hmph, all of you humans are the same."


    The eyes of the silent Octadic Snake suddenly lit up. He exclaimed in surprise and interrupted the conversation between Jun Qiyan and Medusa.


    The Octadic Snake looked excitedly at Medusa, and then continued, "Since it was formed by a human alchemist, we shall let the human alchemist settle it."


    Jun Qiyan and Medusa looked at the Occult Snake in confusion, waiting for him to continue.


    "I once saw it in an ancient book. As long as you can refine the Nine Reincarnation Soul Pill, you can save your daughter."


    Medusa was stunned for a moment before letting out a laugh. She somewhat disdainfully glanced at the Octadic Great Snake.


    "That''s a human pill. As far as I know, there are very few human pill refiners, right?"


    "Not many, but the person beside you is an alchemist."


    The Eight Branch Snake turned its attention to Jun Qiyan with a smile, and then it looked at her with a pair of peach blossom eyes.


    Although Jun Qiyan looked calm on the surface, his heart was already in turmoil.


    You don''t have to scam your master like that!


    As an alchemist, she naturally knew about the Nine Underworld Soul Transformation Pill. Legend has it that this pill could bring the dead back to life.


    However, how could she, a mere tier 2 apothecary, forge a pill that was refined by a tier 7 apothecary?


    Did this guy not know how to talk?


    "You can refine it?" Medusa glanced at Jun Qiyan with suspicion.


    Jun Qiyan pulled at the corner of his mouth, but before he was able to utter a word of refusal, he was interrupted by the Baji Snake.


    "Of course, how could I not know about my master''s strength? But it will still take me some time to prepare the ingredients."


    Medusa knit her brows slightly. She appeared to be considering the authenticity of the other party''s words.


    "How long will it take to find the medicinal ingredients?"


    The Octadic Snake sized it up in his mind, then confidently said: "Three years."


    As the protagonist of this matter, Jun Qiyan was currently stupefied. She was certain that if she was unable to produce the Nine Nethersoul Transformation Pill after three years, she would definitely be beaten to death by Medusa.


    But now, even if she wanted to, it would be too late for her to refuse.


    Jun Qiyan looked at the smiling, fox-like man who was crouching down at the side. Smiling, she placed her arm around his neck, and then forcefully pulled him to the side.


    "Tell me honestly, do you have any other way?" Jun Qiyan stared fixedly at the devilish and enchanting face of the middle-aged man, wishing that he could tear it apart.


    The Octadic Snake looked at his small face that was almost within reach and coughed uncomfortably.


    "Cough, what other way? You can only rely on your heaven-defying level to kill monsters and reach the pinnacle of your life. I believe that with your talent, reaching the seventh step in three years will definitely not be a problem. "


    The Baji Snake patted Jun Qiyan''s shoulder to comfort her.


    Jun Qianyan didn''t notice the uncomfortable look on the other party''s face. Her beautiful eyes looked as if they were about to spit fire, and the words "going against the will of the heavens, fighting against monsters" hovered in her mind.


    "Damn you!" Jun Qianyan couldn''t help but curse in anger as she punched the chest of the great snake.


    It was so painful to stand and talk!


    The highest rank in the East Xuan Continent was only fourth-grade, and it was even those several hundred year old monsters.


    And this fellow had allowed her to advance to the seventh rank in three years?


    Wasn''t this the same as pushing her into a fire pit?!


    The Octadic Snake pretended to be injured while covering its chest, but there was no sign of sympathy or comfort.


    He could not help but mutter, "What a heartless woman ¡­"


    "What did you say?" Jun Qiyan''s sharp eyes narrowed, as if she wanted to tear the person in front of her into a thousand pieces.


    The Baji Snake believed that if looks could kill, he would definitely be chopped into pieces by Jun Qiyan tens of thousands of times.


    "No, nothing."


    The Octadic Snake scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.


    In the end, even if this damned woman wasn''t grateful, she still dared to anger him.


    "You ¡­" Jun Qiyan wanted to continue cursing, but was stopped by the Snake of Eight Qi.


    "Shh, shh. Stop talking. If you say anything else, Medusa will become suspicious."


    He then dragged Jun Qiyan back.


    "We''ve already agreed that we''ll give you the Nine Nethersoul Transformation Pill after three years. Of course, the condition is that you have to release the person." The Octadic Snake said with a deep voice.


    Jun Qiyan waited for a moment, but didn''t refute him. He agreed that this was the only way to save Jun Mo Chen and the rest.


    "Then what about my child for the next three years?"


    Medusa glanced at Jun Qiyan and the Octadic Snake, but still asked worriedly.


    "You can give us Qinghua." The Octadic Snake said with a smile.


    "What did you say?" Medusa''s sharp eyes seemed to pierce through the Octadic Great Snake.


    "Cough cough, don''t think too much. We can take care of her for these three years. Do you not trust my character?" The Octadic Snake confidently patted its chest. However, it attracted two scornful gazes.


    Medusa shook her head decisively.


    "If you give us Qinghua, you shouldn''t be afraid that we will slip away." He tried his best to lure Medusa into his embrace.


    "And you can also focus on recovering."


    Medusa only nodded in agreement after thinking over it.


    When Medusa brought Jun Mo Chen and the rest out, they all had empty eyes and looked like they had lost their souls.


    Jun Qiyan''s heart tightened as he looked towards Medusa.


    "Don''t worry, they''re fine. I didn''t make it in time for them." Medusa indifferently looked at Jun Qiyan, and explained.

 C37

    Jun Qiyan heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this.


    Medusa reluctantly looked at Qingwu. After which, she inhaled a deep breath of air and handed it over.


    "You must take good care of her." Medusa opened her mouth and only managed to say one sentence out of a thousand words.


    Looking at the scene of the mother and daughter being separated, Jun Qianyan couldn''t help but feel a little upset.


    "I will."


    "I left an imprint on her body. I will rush to her if she is in danger, but I hope you can protect her."


    After Medusa finished speaking, the reluctance in her eyes became more apparent. However, she still quickly hid herself in the shadows.


    She was afraid that if she continued like this, she wouldn''t be willing to give Qingzhuang to Jun Qiyan.


    The moment Jun Qiyan touched the light beam, the petite Green Snake lightly trembled.


    After which, she slowly opened her eyes. Her pupils were dark green like Medusa''s.


    The little green snake was a little afraid of strangers, and its dark green eyes revealed traces of fear.


    Aowu ¡­


    Little Green Snake anxiously looked around for his mother''s figure, but the dead pig was still familiar with his surroundings, but his mother was nowhere to be seen.


    "I will take care of you in place of your mother."


    Jun Qiyan''s red lips moved slightly. She wanted to comfort Qingyan with a few words, but she could only force out a few words in the end.


    "I''ll leave Qinghua with you." When Jun Qiyan saw that the other party was on the verge of tears, she immediately placed Qingzhuang in the hands of the Octadic Snake.


    She really didn''t know how to comfort cute creatures.


    The Octadic Snake looked at the small snake in his hand in a daze, as if he could strangle it to death with a single force.


    Cold sweat broke out on Fu Chen''s back. He could clearly feel Medusa''s slightly murderous gaze from the darkness ¡­


    Twenty minutes had passed since the members of the Blizzard Mercenary Group and Jun Mo Chen woke up.


    "Little girl ¡­" Jun Mo Chen looked dazedly at Jun Qiyan, and then abruptly stood up.


    "Are you okay?" Jun Mo Chen looked anxiously at Jun Qianyan as he tried to determine if she was injured. Only after he was certain that she was safe and sound did he heave a sigh of relief.


    Jun Qiyan looked at Jun Mo Chen in amusement, but his heart was incredibly warm.


    "I''m fine." Jun Qiyan shook his head and then briefly explained the entire matter of Medusa. The matter of her adoption for three years was automatically recounted by Jun Qiyan.


    "This is?" Jun Mo Chen''s gaze fell on the Occult Snake.


    Jun Qiyan cast a sidelong glance at Fu Chen and said, "This is a friend of mine, Fu Chen."


    Jun Qiyan said indifferently.


    The members of the Blizzard Mercenary Company looked at the young man in front of them with complicated feelings.


    They walked along the northern mountains.


    The further north they went, the thinner the spiritual energy became. Some lower ranking members of the Blizzard Mercenaries were beginning to have trouble breathing.


    "Members at Qi Disciple level 5 or lower, just wait here. Don''t continue going up."


    Lin Hu wrinkled his eyebrows and said.


    Jun Qiyan nodded his head, similarly agreeing with Lin Hu''s words.


    "Scram, all of you scram for me!"


    A coquettish voice exploded in the surroundings. Accompanied by the clatter of the horse''s hooves, a Wind Chaser Horse galloped in their direction without any intention of stopping.


    Several members of the Blizzard Mercenary Group were about to be knocked flying.


    Judging from the speed of the carriage, those members of the Blizzard Mercenary Group would definitely die on the spot if they bumped into it.


    Jun Qiyan''s eyes narrowed as a chilling light flashed through them. She picked up a dagger and stabbed it towards the horse''s leg.


    Ah!


    "You, you actually dare!"


    The pretty young man glared angrily at Jun Qiyan, as though he wanted to tear her to shreds.


    Jun Qiyan looked at him coldly. That person was dressed extravagantly and his mount was a high-class mount like the Wind Chaser Horse. With a single glance, one could tell that he was a spoilt young miss of an aristocratic family.


    The woman looked Jun Qiyan up and down. When she saw that he was only dressed in coarse clothes and sackcloth, her expression became increasingly disdainful and angry.


    "Do you know who I am? "My father is the Sun family head of one of the five Wealthy Classes!"


    Sun Qing''er raised her chin and arrogantly looked at Jun Feiyan.


    Jun Qiyan raised an eyebrow. Five Wealthy Class people?


    The Eastern Tomb Kingdom had four great clans, as well as five Wealthy Classes.


    The Four Great Clans were old clans that had existed for hundreds of years.


    "My Wind Chaser Horse is a high level mount. If you want a poor kid like you who can''t afford it in his entire life, then kneel down and apologize."


    Sun Qi''er said miserably.


    Jun Mo Chen frowned, and a look of displeasure flashed across his face.


    "Miss Sun, you were the one who charged in head-on and almost bumped into someone."


    Seeing that someone dared to question her, Sun Qi-er shot a sharp look at Jun Mo Chen.


    "You ¡­" When the warm, jade-like face of Jun Mo Chen appeared in Sun Qi''er''s line of sight, his harsh words were stuck in his throat.


    The man''s deep eyes seemed as if they could suck in a person''s soul. The faint smile on his face gave her a warm temperament. She had never seen such a man before.


    As a young miss of one of the Five Great Families, Sun Qi-er had countless of pretty boys by her side. However, Jun Mo Chen''s gaze seemed to be able to suck her in.


    Countless pink bubbles appeared in Sun''Er''s mind.


    When Jun Qiyan saw this, and saw the bashful expression on Sun''Er''s face, and then looked at his brother''s surprised expression, he couldn''t help but think of the words'' beautiful woman in distress''.


    "Apologize." Jun Qiyan said to Sun Qi-er with a cold expression.


    Sun Qi-er stopped in her tracks, and the angry curses that she had burst out of her mouth disappeared from Jun Mo Chen''s unhappy eyes.


    "I, on what basis should I apologize to them!"


    Sun Qi-er looked at the person beside her who was not as strong as she was and felt very unwilling.


    "You almost killed them. Do you think you should apologize?"


    "I ¡­" Sun Qi''er was speechless.


    "I''m sorry." Sun Qian''Er closed her eyes and said unwillingly. If it wasn''t for the fact that she didn''t want to make a good impression in front of the male god, she wouldn''t apologize to this kind of trash!


    The few members of the Blizzard Mercenary Group quickly waved their hands and said that it was okay.


    "Qi''er!" I already told you not to run around. "


    A middle-aged uncle hurriedly ran over. He looked at the Wind Chasing Horse lying there, and then at the unhappy Jun Qianyan beside him. In addition to his daughter''s personality, he had a rough idea of what had happened.


    "My daughter has offended many people. Please forgive her."


    Sun Cheng hurriedly apologized to Jun Qianyan, but when his gaze landed on Jun Mo Chen, his expression couldn''t help but stiffen.

 C38

    It was obviously the Jun Family''s Jun Mo Chen.


    Jun Mo Chen would often be sent out by Jun Xuanfeng for missions, and would inevitably confront the Patriarchs of various great clans.


    On the other hand, the leader of the Sun family couldn''t forget Jun Mo Chen; he would always remember this young man who was obviously only 17 years old.


    His strength had already reached an extremely shocking level.


    "Are you the Young Master Jun?"


    Even though he had already guessed it, the Sun family''s head still couldn''t help but ask.


    A smile appeared on Jun Mo Chen''s face as he bowed to the Sun family''s head, "Elder Sun."


    Sun Qi-er, who was standing at the side, was stunned. Young Master Jun?


    In the entire Eastern Xuan Continent, only the Jun Family''s four great clans had the ability to have their own grandfather become the Young Master of the Jun Family.


    She was very clear on the difference between the Four Great Families and the five Wealthy Classes.


    For example, the four noble families were the true aristocrats, and the five Wealthy Classes were the upstarts.


    Jun Mo Chen exchanged a few words of greeting with Old Sun before leaving.


    Sun''Er gazed at Jun Mo Chen''s back, with reluctance in his eyes.


    "Daddy, are those people from the Four Great Families?"


    "Yes, Jun Mo Chen from the Jun Family is already breaking through to the basic level at such a young age, and she''s even a Grade Three Alchemist. Her future prospects are limited."


    Elder Sun sighed emotionally as he spoke, not noticing his daughter''s abnormality.


    The Jun Family''s Jun Mo Chen was still hovering in his mind; he was a Tier 3 alchemist with three pieces of information on the verge of breaking through to the Alchemist Realm.


    The Jun Family''s Jun Mo Chen, the Gu Family''s Gu Yao, the Jing Family''s Ji Bai, and the Ye Family''s Ye Changsheng were all top figures in the Four Great Clans.


    He was also known as the "Four Young Masters".


    "Brother, you know that old man?" Jun Qiyan couldn''t help but ask with some curiosity.


    "That is Elder Sun. He single-handedly made the Sun family into one of the five Wealthy Classes. He has both strength and methods, and is a loyal elder worthy of respect."


    Jun Mo Chen said with a faint smile.


    Jun Qiyan looked at Jun Mo Chen with a hint of surprise in his eyes. Jun Mo Chen''s evaluation of this song was quite high, which meant that Elder Ge was someone worthy of respect.


    "Sun Qi''er is usually a little arrogant and doesn''t have any bad intentions."


    Jun Mo Chen seemed to have thought of something. and Jun Qiyan went on to say


    Jun Qiyan shrugged her shoulders. She didn''t care about the arrogant and despotic Eldest Young Miss at all.


    In the mountains in the northern part of the Howling Moonwood, the howls of magical beasts echoed in everyone''s ears. On the summit of the mountain, a black energy mixed with red light shot up into the sky!


    "Dye, the ''Heavenly Flame'' has appeared."


    Jun Mo Chen opened his tent, revealing a look of excitement in his eyes.


    As soon as Jun Qiyan stepped out of the tent, countless experts rushed towards the source of the ''Heavenly Flame''.


    "No rush."


    The expression in Jun Qiyan''s eyes was dark and unreadable.


    Just now, the Baji Snake had already felt the birth of a ''Heavenly Flame''. In order to obtain a ''Heavenly Flame'', one had to rely on luck and coincidence.


    Jun Qiyan and Jun Mo Chen headed towards the north of the Howling Forest.


    The two of them did not dare to move too quickly. This place was filled with countless high level magical beasts, and if they were not careful, they would lose their lives here.


    During the night, the cold wind blew through the leaves, creating rustling sounds. In the Howling Forest, it was like the death god''s talismans.


    "Uncle, do you know where my mother is?"


    A childish voice sounded especially strange in the night.


    Jun Qiyan frowned as he looked at the little shota in front of him. Whose child was this, to actually dare to bring him to such a dangerous place like the Howling Forest.


    "Scram, where did this little brat come from?" The man waved his hand impatiently.


    "Wuu ¡­" Uncle, do you see my mother there? "


    The little shota seemed to be scared stiff. His meaty little hands could not help but clench the hem of his shirt tightly.


    "Didn''t you hear me tell you to scram?" The man saw that his little shota had no intention of running away. He extended his hand, intending to send his opponent flying with a single palm strike.


    Jun Qiyan''s pupils constricted. This scene was so familiar to her. In her darkest past life, when her parents had both died, the young girl had nothing but fear in her heart.


    However, a young boy called Nian was always by his side. Nian was as old as the little shota in front of him.


    It was precisely because of these years that he had been able to walk out of that period of time.


    But each year, he would end up dying right in front of his eyes ¡­


    Those people had taken him away in order to get revenge, all for the sake of making him appear.


    However, she was still a step too late. When she arrived, she just happened to bump into the scene of the annual corpse being ruthlessly thrown out.


    It was because of this that Jun Qiyan was determined to become strong.


    Sometimes, even Jun Qiyan himself would think that if he didn''t have his own year, he would want to go to school like a normal child.


    She would often dream about it. Year after year, she would ask herself covered in blood, "Elder sister, why didn''t you come and save me in time?"


    Thinking of this, Jun Qiyan no longer hesitated. She took a big stride forward and steadily caught the palm of the man''s hand, which could cause the little shota''s death.


    Then, with lightning speed, he knocked the man down with a single punch. With unbelievable speed, the man crashed into the hundred-year-old tree behind him. Then, with a pair of eyes, the wedding ended.


    Everything that had happened here had happened in a split-second.


    Even Jun Mo Chen, who was by Jun Qiyan''s side a moment ago, could not react in time to what was happening.


    Jun Qiyan hugged the shota tightly. Her body was trembling slightly, her eyes were red, and she kept mumbling to herself, "I''ve come to save you. Every year, don''t be afraid ¡­"


    The little shota''s doll face wrinkled into a bun. He meekly said, "Big brother, you''re hurting me."


    It was only when Jun Qiyan heard these words that he realized he''d lost control of himself.


    She let go of the shota and said with a gentle expression, "Little guy, can I take you to find mom?"


    The little shota''s eyes shone as he looked at Jun Qiyan, "Brother, can you really help me find my mother?"


    "Yes!" Jun Qianyan nodded with certainty. He had fulfilled his wish to have this little shota safely leave the Howling Forest.


    When Jun Mo Chen saw that Jun Qianyan was so irrational, he frowned instantly.


    "Dye!"


    Jun Mo Chen took a deep breath and said helplessly, "In the Howling Forest, with such a child, you won''t be able to move at all!"


    Jun Qiyan pursed her lips as her face turned unsightly. She obviously knew what Jun Mo Chen was saying, but she had no way to abandon this little shota.


    "Big brother, did I get you into trouble?" The little shota looked at Jun Feiyan with his watery eyes, as if he would cry in the next second.

 C39

    Looking at the little shota, Jun Qianyan felt even more sorry for him, as if he was the young lord of his past life.


    "Don''t worry, big brother will never abandon you."


    Jun Qiyan gently patted the head of the shota, then turned to Jun Mo Chen, "Brother, don''t worry. I''ll take care of him myself."


    Jun Mo Chen looked at Jun Qianyan with determination, and felt a sense of unease in his heart.


    "I didn''t mean it that way. Since you''ve decided to keep him here, brother will do everything he can to help you two. I just hope that you won''t regret it."


    Jun Qianyan hadn''t expected Jun Mo Chen to say that. She couldn''t help but say emotionally, "Brother ¡­"


    "You are my family." Jun Mo Chen rubbed Jun Qiyan''s head.


    Jun Qiyan took in a deep breath, and made a decision in her heart. She would become stronger, and protect those she wanted to protect.


    "Little guy, what''s your name?" Jun Qiyan turned her head to look in the direction of the little shota and asked softly, as if the slightest noise would frighten the little girl in front of her.


    "I, I don''t know what my name is either." The little shota blinked his eyes and thought hard for a long time before stammering.


    Jun Qianyan frowned, "Then where did you and your mother lose them?"


    The little shota still shook his head, causing Jun Qiyan''s expression to turn even uglier. He was afraid that he had lost his memories ¡­


    "Then why don''t you go with your brother to the top of the mountain first?" Jun Qiyan was still coaxing the little shota.


    Since the other party didn''t know anything, he would be searching for a needle in a haystack. Right now, he could only look for the ''Heavenly Flame'' and see if he could bump into the little guy''s mother along the way.


    "Alright." The little shota nodded in agreement without the slightest hesitation and revealed a big smile on his face.


    After this small interlude, Jun Qiyan and the others continued to walk towards the peak of the mountain.


    It wasn''t until the sun was about to rise that the group reached the place where the ''Heavenly Flame'' had been born.


    Other than the traces of fighting and the spread of the flame, there was nothing else in the surroundings.


    Seeing this, Jun Qianyan was not too surprised. The difference between this'' Heavenly Flame ''and the previous one was that the'' Heavenly Flame ''this time had spiritual awareness.


    He could control his own movements. Since there was no sign of the strange fire signing, the flame could only hide itself.


    As Jun Qiyan was about to walk around, waves of magical beast roars suddenly came from the surroundings.


    At the side, the Octadic Snake curled its lips and said with slight disdain, "That''s a cat''s meow."


    Jun Qiyan frowned as he looked towards the source of the sound. He only saw a man with torn clothes and a body drenched in blood running towards him.


    Right behind him was a Class 4 Grizzly Bear.


    "A mere ant dares to be so arrogant here!" The Octadic Snake sneered. He didn''t plan to make a move. He only needed to protect Jun Qiyan''s safety. As for the others, whether they lived or died, had nothing to do with him.


    Jun Qiyan also wanted to go around it, but the other side seemed to see her as if they were their savior. She didn''t even have the time to react before she was smashed into a wall.


    When the magical beast saw the man covered in blood and Jun Qiyan''s embrace, it took it for granted that they were the same type of people.


    "Roar!" The grizzly bear let out a furious roar, and rushed over like Jun Qiyan, wanting to tear him to shreds. "Wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuu


    Jun Qiyan glared at the person in his arms and tossed him, who was in a semi-conscious state, to the side.


    "Brother, watch him die!" Jun Qiyan gnashed her teeth as she spoke. She had never been so openly taken advantage of by anyone ever since she came to this world.


    If he wanted to take the advantage from her, then let''s dream about him!


    "I will deal with this ant." The corners of the Octadic Snake''s mouth curled up, and he completely released the imposing aura that belonged to an ancient beast when he landed on the ground.


    Low level magical beasts had absolute obedience to high level magical beasts. This was the blood flowing through their bones, a factor that was impossible to defy.


    For example, right now, the grizzly bear was originally full of vigor, but when it saw the Octadic Snake, it instantly became a weak little rabbit.


    The grizzly bear stood shivering in front of the Octadic Snake, looking pitiful.


    "Scram." The Octadic Snake was very satisfied with the grizzly bear''s reaction and did not kill it all.


    Jun Qiyan didn''t continue to chase after him either. Her eyes were fixated on the person who had tried to plot against her just now.


    "Cough, cough." Feng Chen Lang''s entire body felt uncomfortable from that scorching gaze. He couldn''t help but cough lightly, pretending that he had just woken up.


    "Hey, why am I here ¡­" Feng Chenlang looked guiltily at his surroundings.


    Jun Qiyan: "¡­"


    "I suddenly remember. I still have something to do. Heroes, I''ll be leaving first!" Feng Chenlang clasped his hands together as he tried to escape.


    "Crouching." Jun Qianyan lightly called out the name of the Octavo Snake. Then, Feng Chenlang felt his back tighten as the octopus snake lifted him up in front of Jun Qiyan''s eyes like a chick.


    Feng Chen Lang embarrassedly touched the back of his head as he chuckled. He then began to introduce himself.


    "Bro, we''re all men, so don''t be so stingy." Feng Chen Lang poked Jun Qiyan, then acted as if they were brothers.


    "Who''s your brother? My mom didn''t give birth to you as my younger brother." Jun Qianyan looked at Feng Chenlang with disdain, as if he was looking at the second fool from the next village.


    "Don''t be like that. My name is Feng Chenlang, and I''ve been given the nickname Little Madman. You can call me Langlang." Feng Chen wanted to blink.


    "Um, can you let this man let go of me first? We can talk if we have something to talk about, we can talk if we have something to talk about." Feng Chenlang hurriedly said.


    "Oh? Let you go? "Then what about your scheme against me?" Jun Qiyan''s eyes dimmed for a moment, and then she spoke in a fierce voice.


    After that, he motioned to the Octadic Snake, telling him to throw Feng Chen Lang into the demon beast horde and feed it to the demon beasts.


    "No, no, no! "I was wrong, I was wrong. I have something that can suppress the ''Heavenly Flame'' on me. Big brother, please let me go."


    Feng Chenlang''s face was grief-stricken. Why did this devil come here? Originally, he thought it was a docile little sheep, but it turned out to be a wolf wrapped in sheepskin!


    Jun Qiyan''s body froze. Something that could suppress the ''Heavenly Flames''?


    Seeing that Jun Qianyan was interested in what he was talking about, Feng Chen hurriedly continued, "I''m not here for the ''Heavenly Flame'', I''m here for the herbs!"


    Jun Qiyan knitted his brows, indicating for the other party to continue speaking.


    "I, your brother has a serious illness and needs medicinal herbs to cure it. That medicinal herb was guarded by the grizzly bear, that''s why ¡­"


    Speaking of his brother, the youth''s eyes were filled with sadness.


    It''s not like he''s putting on an act,

 C40

    As Jun Qiyan looked at Feng Chenlang''s dejected expression, her brows tightly knitted together.


    Feng Chenlang saw that the other party was going to let him off the hook. He hurriedly continued, "We can work together. I know that you''re doing this for a ''Heavenly Flame''. We can travel together. It''s also considered taking care of each other."


    Feng Chen Lang blinked his eyes, as if he was begging for adoption.


    Jun Qiyan rubbed her glabella, as if she was carefully considering what Feng Chen Lang had said.


    You said you have something that can suppress the fire?" Jun Qiyan was slightly moved. The grizzly bear was a Class 4 Magical Beast. Normally, if a Qi Cultivator were to meet a grizzly bear, they would be killed with a single slap.


    Yet, this brat was actually able to steal the medicinal herb guarded by the grizzly bear. From this, it could be seen that the other party''s strength could not be underestimated.


    "How could I lie to you!?" Everyone knows that the Heavenly Flame is capable of burning everything in the world, and the Heavenly Flame that is born this time is the thirteenth ranked Soul Devouring Flame on the Heavenly Flame Ranking.


    Jun Qiyan''s brows tightly knitted together. She naturally knew about what Feng Chenlang had said.


    "Then what can you do?" Jun Qiyan asked. If it was someone useful, she would naturally bring it with her.


    "Golden soft mail." Feng Chenlang passed a thin set of clothes to Jun Qiyan.


    "It''s a good thing." The Octadic Snake glanced at him and then said.


    When Feng Chenlang heard this, he became even more pleased with himself.


    "Of course. This thing can block an all-out attack from an Aurous Core stage cultivator. If you wear it, you can stay by the side of the ''Heavenly Flame'' for one minute."


    Although it was only one minute, many things could happen within this minute. For example, Jun Qiyan was confident that she could subdue the ''Heavenly Flame'' within one minute.


    Feng Chenlang put away his smiling face and spoke seriously. If it wasn''t for Ol ''Three, he wouldn''t have given such a good item out.


    Jun Qiyan took the things and looked left and right, but still couldn''t find the reason behind it. However, since it was decided by the Baji Snake, it naturally shouldn''t be too bad.


    Only after seeing Jun Qianyan put away the items did Feng Chen relax his heart that was hanging in the air.


    "Why are you here?" When Jun Mo Chen arrived, he looked at Feng Chen Lang in surprise.


    "I also want to ask you this. Who said that they would stay at home with your little sister and not come out with us? I say, Mo Chen, you''re being too rude!"


    When Feng Chenlang saw Jun Mo Chen''s figure, he took a big stride forward and punched him in the chest. Although his actions were not considered gentle, his face was still full of smiles.


    Anyone who saw this would know that this was a joke. Jun Mo Chen had steadily received the punch, and no trace of anger could be seen on his face.


    "This is the herb that can be used to refine elixirs for Longevity. Keep it properly." Feng Chenlang carefully passed the herb he had obtained at the risk of his life into Jun Mo Chen''s hands.


    Jun Mo Chen took the herb, but his mind wasn''t on it. He shifted his gaze to Jun Qiyan, with an inquisitive look in his eyes.


    Feng Chen Lang followed Jun Mo Chen''s line of sight to Jun Yunxiao, grinned, and said, "This is Little Brother Yin Mo Jiu."


    Jun Qiyan and Jun Mo Chen looked at each other and understood each other''s thoughts.


    "I know, I came over with her."


    A trace of surprise flashed across Feng Chen''s face as he suddenly asked something, but he was interrupted by Jun Mo Chen.


    "How did you two know each other?"


    Feng Chenlang narrated what had just happened in a simple manner.


    The thing that Jun Qianyan regretted the most in the past few days was bringing Feng Chenlang, this idiot, to his side.


    "Turn around!"


    In the howling forest, a roar that shook the heavens echoed across the area again.


    "I say, Brother Mo Chen, why are you so nervous? We''re all men, what''s there to be afraid of?"


    Feng Chen Lang''s mouth twitched. Even though he said those words, he still obediently turned around.


    At this moment, Jun Qiyan''s face was extremely ugly to behold. Because of the lack of water in the Howling Forest, she hadn''t taken a bath for a full seven days.


    Today, she had finally found a piece of water. As soon as she had finished bathing and put on her apron, she was immediately invaded by Feng Chen Lang.


    Jun Mo Chen''s ink-black eyes stared fixedly at Feng Chenlang. At this moment, he really wanted to tear this man in front of him apart!


    One must know that his little sister was still an unmarried young lady, yet she was being watched by this little brat. Even though he still had the undergarment covering his body, Jun Mo Chen still could not accept this.


    Feng Chen Lang received the gaze of Jun Mo Chen. He rubbed the tip of his nose and said innocently:


    "I... I didn''t see anything. "


    As soon as his words fell, Feng Chenlang felt that something was wrong. What the hell was he trying to explain? Everyone here was clearly a man.


    Jun Mo Chen''s complexion finally improved, but he still looked as if he wanted to cut Feng Chen Lang into a thousand pieces.


    "However, Brother Yin seems to be more exquisite than us rough guys ¡­"


    "What did you say?!"


    Jun Mo Chen stretched out his hand to grab Feng Chen Lang''s ear.


    "Hiss, let go, it hurts, it hurts, I was wrong, I was wrong, I swear I won''t randomly enter Brother Yin''s room from now on!"


    Feng Chen Lang was in so much pain that he couldn''t help but spin around in his original place. He was really inhumane!


    "Alright, I''m fine."


    Jun Qiyan looked at Feng Chenlang, who was crying in pain, and then looked at the furious Jun Mo Chen. She could not help but laugh.


    The people of the Eastern Xuan Continent regarded the virginity of women very seriously. However, to Jun Qiyan, this super modern human, in the twenty-sixth century, the scene just now was nothing.


    It was only when Jun Qiyan stopped him that he finally let go of Feng Chen Lang, although his expression was still extremely unsightly.


    "Hmm, Brother Yin is so nice to me." After Feng Chenlang escaped from Jun Mochen''s clutches, he strode forward with the intention of rushing into the arms of Jun Qiyan.


    "Stop!" Jun Qiyan looked at the large sized dog in front of him with cold eyes, begging to be stroked and hugged.


    Feng Chenlang looked at Jun Qiyan with a hidden bitterness, but didn''t dare to take another step forward.


    He knew from their interactions these past few days that even though Jun Mo Chen and Yin Mo Jiu were warm and comfortable, they had a bullying look on their faces.


    However, if he really went all out, Jun Mo Chen would only beat him up.


    As for Yin Muju ¡­


    Feng Chen shuddered. He believed that if he really pissed that kid off, being dismembered would be a piece of cake!

    "Year after year!" Jun Qiyan looked at the scene in disbelief. A seven-colored snake, a Class 3 Magical Beast, fiercely bit the back of the little shota''s hand.


    Since the little shota did not know his name, Jun Qiyan simply called him Year by Year.


    The Seven-Colored Snake contained a highly toxic poison. If a child, who was only five years old, were bitten, he would probably die on the spot.


    Jun Qiyan felt as if his heart had fallen into an ice cave as his blood started to flow in reverse. Could it be that he was going to lose all his years again?


    Jun Qianyan didn''t hesitate at all. She took a big stride forward, and without another word, she began to suck out the poison from the back of Nian Bing''s hand.


    "Are you crazy?!"


    Jun Mo Chen looked at Jun Qiyan''s desperate look and pulled her away.


    So what if Jun Qiyan was a Stage Seven Qi Cultivating Stage cultivator?


    If the seven-colored poison entered Jun Qiyan''s body, then in less than a quarter of an hour, he would die.


    Jun Mo Chen would never allow this to happen.


    However, he never expected that Jun Qiyan would actually directly shake off her hand ¡­


    "I know what I''m doing. I just don''t want to regret it."


    Jun Qiyan''s cold voice echoed in Jun Mo Chen''s ears.


    Feng Chenlang, who was standing to the side, was completely dumbfounded.


    The little shota looked at the boy who had taken drugs for him without any hesitation. A peculiar glint flashed across his eyes as he muttered something.


    But from the looks of it, the word ''mother'' was ¡­


    As everyone expected, after Jun Qiyan finished helping the little shota suck in the poison, he fell into a coma. Jun Mo Chen had to use all his strength to pull him back from the line between life and death.


    "Brother." Jun Qiyan looked at the gloomy face of Jun Mo Chen, and then stuck out her tongue guiltily.


    "You, you!" Jun Mo Chen was alone in his anger for a long time, but he could not utter a word in the end.


    Jun Qiyan chuckled.


    It was night.


    A petite figure was shuttling through the darkness. This person was none other than Jun Yunchen, who had been grounded for three days by Jun Mo Chen.


    Since Jun Qiyan was poisoned by the snake venom of the rainbow colored snake, Jun Mo Chen didn''t allow him to take even half a step out of the tent, and almost suffocated her to death.


    The cool night wind blew across the surroundings, the leaves rustled loudly, and a huge monster appeared behind Jun Qiyan''s back.


    Jun Qianyan''s figure stiffened. Without time to think, she immediately took out a sharp sword from her storage ring. With a twist of her body, she pierced straight towards the enormous being behind her.


    Within the Howling Forest, danger lurked in all directions. Jun Qiyan was secretly vexed at his carelessness.


    "Whoosh!"


    Jun Qiyan was so shocked that his mouth turned numb. He staggered back three steps, and the sword suddenly slipped out of his hand.


    It was only at this moment that she could clearly see the colossal creature in front of her. It was a Purgatory Blood Demon Dragon, a Class 4 Magical Beast.


    Jun Qiyan''s dark pupils dilated. Within the Purgatory Blood Illusory Dragon''s body, there was a trace of the dragon''s bloodline.


    Jun Qiyan cursed in his heart. No wonder his defense was so strong.


    "Bastard, hand your life over."


    Jun Qiyan took out another sharp sword as a light golden Spiritual Energy overflowed from her body.


    "Swoosh!"


    The sword qi sliced through the air, and the sound of breaking bamboo could be heard.


    As the sword slashed down, the fierce astral wind arrived before the body. A magnificent pillar of blood gushed out, dyeing the surrounding ground red.


    "Roar!" The Purgatory Blood Demon Dragon''s eyes were bloodshot as it let out an earth-shattering roar, causing the surrounding trees to slightly tremble.


    With a flash, he wanted to tear this non-human in front of him into shreds.


    The speed of the huge figure was actually so fast that even Jun Qiyan had no choice but to lower his own speed by a few degrees. There was no time to dodge.


    A tearing pain came from Jun Qiyan''s back. He didn''t even need to look to know that his back was definitely badly mutilated.


    Jun Qiyan gritted her teeth as she ignored the heart-wrenching pain coming from her back. She narrowed her eyes, leapt forward, and steadily climbed onto the Purgatory Blood Illusory Dragon''s neck.


    She did not believe that this thing could not even harm the eyes!


    "Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!" The Purgatory Blood Illusory Dragon felt Jun Qianyan''s intention and crazily rampaged all over the place. Jun Qiyan didn''t have time to think as the sword firmly stabbed into the Purgatory Blood Illusory Dragon''s eyes.


    Dark red blood recklessly flowed from the Purgatory Blood Illusion Dragon''s eyes.


    The Purgatory Blood Illusory Dragon finally realized that this human had the ability to kill it. It continued to run around in panic. Jun Qiyan''s body fell off the back of the Purgatory Blood Illusory Dragon uncontrollably.


    Jun Qiyan couldn''t help but cry out. His back was already badly mutilated, and this only served to aggravate the situation.


    As the sky slowly brightened, Jun Qiyan no longer dared to linger in the forest. She dragged her scarred body back to her tent.


    In the morning, when Feng Yunlang saw that there were no movements in Jun Qiyan''s tent, he could not help but feel a little strange. Jun Qiyan had to get up and run in the morning at five o''clock every day.


    "Yin ¡­"


    The smile on Feng Chen Lang''s face froze on his face, and his badly mutilated back pierced straight into Feng Chen Lang''s eyes.


    He could clearly see her delicate skin.


    After three seconds of silence, Feng Chen Lang flew out of Jun Qiyan''s room like a kite with its string cut.


    "Bang!" Feng Chenlang clutched his chest as he coughed twice. He could not help but curse Jun Qianyan in his heart for being heartless.


    In his mind, however, was a mixture of white, red, and white.


    Jun Mo Chen sat on a chair, looking at the two men in front of him with a dark expression.


    "You didn''t sleep well in the middle of the night, how dare you run out and wander around?"


    Jun Mo Chen tried his best to maintain the smile on his face, but the bulging veins on his forehead made him shrink back his neck.


    "I, I was just holding back." Jun Qiyan bit his lips as he weakly explained.


    Just going out for a walk?


    Going out for a walk and nearly dying at the hands of a magical beast?


    Jun Mo Chen could only feel that his sister was getting more and more anxious. In the past, when she was still a fool, she could at least behave herself.


    But now, if he wasn''t careful, he would have died outside!


    For no reason at all, Jun Mo Chen remembered the threats that Jun Xuanfeng had made to them before he and Jun Feiyan left ¡­


    If that old man were to know that Jun Qianyan had nearly lost his life time and time again, he would definitely have been ripped apart by that old man.


    "Exactly! Xiao Jiu, you''re being too rude, you didn''t even call me for such a fun thing! "


    Feng Chenlang said angrily.


    Jun Mo Chen: "..."


    Jun Qiyan: "¡­"

 C42

    "However, Mu Jiu, your skin is really white. You can''t be a girl, right ¡­"


    Feng Chenlang hesitated for a moment, but he still voiced his thoughts.


    Jun Mo Chen and Yin Mo Jiu''s reactions were too intense. He had accidentally broken into Yin Mo Jiu''s residence several times and was almost chased to death by Jun Mo Chen ¡­


    On top of that, Jun Qiyan''s exquisite skin was not something an ordinary boy would have. Even the heavy evidence had to indicate that Yin Muju was a woman.


    Faced with Feng Chen Lang''s doubts, Jun Mo Chen''s face turned pale. Normally, Feng Chen Lang wouldn''t change his expression, but he revealed the truth at the most crucial moment.


    "Since you''ve already said this, I''ll tell you the truth." Jun Qiyan sighed with a look of helplessness.


    Feng Chenlang pricked up his ears, waiting for Jun Qiyan''s reply.


    But Jun Qiyan''s next words caused his eyes to widen involuntarily.


    "Actually, I like men."


    Jun Qiyan sighed with a look of helplessness.


    In a place no one noticed, a trace of craftiness flashed through Jun Qiyan''s eyes. She couldn''t be the one lying!


    She was a daughter of a noble family, so of course she liked men.


    Jun Mo Chen was stunned at the side. It took him only three seconds to understand the girl''s intention; he smiled and shook his head with a doting look in his eyes.


    Feng Chenlang''s eyes widened to the size of bells and even started to stutter when he spoke:


    "You, what did you say?!"


    Feng Chenlang seemed to have realized something as he tenaciously protected his collar as if he would lose his virginity in the next second.


    "I know I''m very handsome, but let me tell you, I''m straight!"


    When Jun Qianyan saw Feng Chenlang''s nervous expression, she didn''t know whether to laugh or cry. He sized up Feng Chenlang''s body from head to toe.


    It had to be said that Feng Chenlang definitely had the qualifications to make thousands of young girls go crazy. However, ever since Jun Qiyan had seen the beautiful face of the Ninth Elder, Feng Chenlang had become a person of no worth.


    "Brother Lang, you ¡­ you won''t despise me, will you?"


    Jun Qiyan bit her lips as if she would cry in the next second.


    Feng Chenlang frowned deeply, as if he was trying to comfort Jun Qianyan by patting her on the shoulder.


    Although he wasn''t obsessed with Long Yang, he didn''t discriminate against homosexuals. To him, falling in love with two people had nothing to do with gender.


    Seeing Jun Qiyan''s pitiful appearance, he knew that this kid must have suffered a lot in the past.


    In the past, Jun Mo Chen had always stopped him from going to Jun Qiyan''s room, so Feng Chenlang naturally thought that it was to protect Jun Qiyan''s dignity.


    Thinking up to this point, Feng Chenlang couldn''t help but feel a pang of pity for Jun Feiyan. He reached out his hand and pulled the small hand in front of him into his bosom.


    "Don''t worry. If you follow Brother Lang in the future, I won''t let you suffer any grievances!"


    Feng Chenlang said with a grand and imposing manner.


    Since the last time the little shota had been bitten by a snake, the relationship between Jun Qiyan and the little shota had clearly grown closer.


    Year in and year out, Jun Qiyan was inseparable from him.


    "I say, little brat, you''re already so old, why are you still acting like a little shadow?" Feng Chen Lang poked the little shota''s bun face as he said with a smile.


    Ever since he came, this child had never shown him any good looks, and apart from Yin Muju, he had also ignored everyone else.


    "Muk Jiu, you have a good temper. If it was me, I would have kicked him to the side a long time ago."


    Feng Chen Lang looked at the little shota in front of him who was not even at his thighs, and said with slight disdain.


    When the little shota heard his words, his delicate facial features wrinkled like a bun. His large, watery eyes were filled with fear, as if he was afraid that Jun Qianyan would abandon him.


    Jun Qianyan was not disturbed by Feng Chen Lang''s words. He looked at him with a spurious smile, and leisurely said, "Why do you want to be thrown out?!"


    Feng Chenlang smiled: "Mu Jiu, you are too heartless. Could it be that I can''t compare to this little brat?"


    Feng Chenlang said angrily.


    Jun Qiyan''s long and shapely eyebrows creased slightly. He pondered for a moment before heavily nodding his head.


    Feng Chen Lang: "¡­"


    Behind Feng Chen Lang, the little shota''s eyes flashed with a trace of viciousness.


    At night, while Feng Chen was still half asleep, he pulled up his pants in an attempt to be convenient.


    "Sasha ¡­" A gust of cold wind blew from behind Feng Chen Lang. Feng Chen Lang couldn''t help but shiver. This was the Howling Forest; danger could befall him at any time.


    Feng Chen Lang, who was used to being on high alert, was completely awake. He anxiously observed his surroundings, but nothing else could be seen.


    "Rustle, rustle, rustle."


    The cold wind blew again this week, and the weird sound became even more obvious. A dark flame suddenly appeared in the surroundings.


    The darkness suddenly disappeared and was replaced by flames and wails on the ground. Not far away, a near hundred-year-old wife stood on a bridge, holding a bowl of soup in her hand.


    Beside the bridge stood three large words: "Bridge of Helplessness."


    Countless dark-red flowers bloomed around the bridge. They were extremely alluring, and seemed to have the ability to charm people. Feng Chen Lang recognized that they were the Resurrection Lily ¡­


    The Resurrection Lily, the Bridge of Helplessness, Grandma Meng ¡­


    Feng Chenlang''s pupils constricted. He, he, he''s dead?!


    Feng Chen Lang looked around at his surroundings and couldn''t help but scream.


    Ah!" The scene before his eyes disappeared without a trace in an instant. Feng Chen swallowed his saliva. He felt that he must have gone crazy.


    Feng Yunlang''s uncontrollable shout had successfully woken Jun Qiyan and Jun Mo Chen. The seriously angry Jun Qianyan, who had just woken up, glared angrily at the frightened Feng Chenlang.


    She gritted her teeth as she said, "Feng Chenlang, you better know what happened to you. Otherwise, I''ll definitely let you ¡­"


    Before Jun Qianyan could finish his words, Feng Chen took a big stride forward, wanting to pounce on Jun Qianyan. When Jun Mo Chen saw this, he hastily stopped Feng Yunlang, who had lost control of his emotions.


    "Mo Chen, have I already died? If not, why would I still be able to see you two when I''m dead?" Feng Chenlang muttered to himself.


    Jun Mo Chen suppressed his anger as he looked at the person before him with a smile that wasn''t a smile. No matter how good his temper was, he was still displeased to be woken up in the middle of the night.


    "I don''t know if you died just now, but now you are dead for sure."


    "No, that''s not it. I just saw the Bridge of Helplessness and Grandma Meng holding a bowl of soup and smiling at me."


    Jun Mo Chen and Jun Qiyan''s brows were knitted tightly, as if Feng Chen Lang had a nightmare and was speaking crazy words.


    However, what they didn''t notice was that the little shota was smiling at the farce in front of them, as if everything was within his expectations.

 C43

    Since the incident with the ghost, Feng Chen Lang did not dare to travel alone. He did not want to drag Jun Mo Chen along when it was convenient for him to go out.


    Although Jun Mo Chen was angry, there was nothing he could do about it.


    When Jun Qiyan and the others arrived at the peak of the mountain, they met an unexpected guest.


    "Big brother Chen Lang, big brother Mo Chen, are the two of you here to find the ''Heavenly Flame'' as well?" Jun Yunge asked with a surprised look on his face.


    Jun Qiyan glanced at Jun Laige, then glanced at Ning Xuanyan who was standing beside him. This person was precisely the person she had met after teleporting into the Eastern Xuan Continent.


    Back then, Ning Xuanyan had given people the feeling that she was somewhat arrogant. However, the current Ning Xuanyan was indeed as pure as ice and as pure as jade, aloof and inviolable.


    "Yes." Feng Chenlang answered indifferently.


    As for Jun Mo Chen, he didn''t even spare a glance for Jun Laige.


    The cold reply from Feng Chen Lang and Jun Mo Chen made Jun Yunge feel a little awkward. She restrained the expression on her face, and then looked towards Jun Yunyan and asked with some curiosity, "Who is this?"


    "This is Yin Muji my brother." Feng Chenlang introduced.


    The light in the depths of Jun Yunge''s eyes dimmed when he heard this. She carefully sized up Jun Qiyan. Logically speaking, Jun Mo Chen should have that little slut, Jun Qiyan, by his side ¡­


    Then, she shook her head. This was the summit of the mountain, it was impossible for that little trash to climb up.


    Thinking up to here, Jun Yunge smiled at Jun Qiyan, "Hello, my name is Jun Yunge. This is my good friend Ning Xuanyan."


    A strange smile suddenly appeared on Jun Qianyan''s previously calm face. She said with a hint of a strange tone, "Hello, I''m very proud to have met these two beauties."


    "Big Brother Chen Lang, since we''ve met, it''s fate. Let''s go together later. I heard that there''s Heart Congealing Grass ahead." Jun Yunge said.


    Feng Chenlang originally wanted to refuse, but after hearing the words'' Heart Congealing Grass'', the words of rejection got stuck in his throat.


    The Heart Congealing Grass was one of the important herbs to treat Ol ''Three, and a large part of the reason why he came here this time was for this herb.


    When Jun Qiyan saw Feng Chenlang''s reaction, he immediately understood the reason.


    "Since little sister Elegy has already spoken, then how can we have any reason to refuse?" Jun Qiyan said with a smile, looking lewd.


    Jun Yunge looked at Jun Qiyan''s average face, her unremarkable spiritual energy, and his coarse clothes and sackcloth. In his heart, he was extremely disgusted with the person in front of him, but his expression didn''t reveal the slightest bit of displeasure.


    According to Jun Yunge''s words, Jun Qiyan and the others had actually found traces of the Heart Congealing Grass in a cave not too far away.


    "This is the place." Jun Yunge looked at the cave in front of him, as his eyes flashed.


    Feng Chenlang looked excitedly at the cave in front of him. This Heart Congealing Grass was an herb that he had been searching for for a long time.


    "Big brother Chen Lang, you guys go in first. Xue Yan and I will set up a tent outside."


    Feng Chenlang nodded as he saw the situation unfold. He had never wanted Jun Laige to follow along with him in the first place.


    Jun Qianyan frowned. Although he felt that it was a bit strange, he couldn''t say anything. He could only be more vigilant.


    The cave was pitch black, and only the amethyst on the wall was emitting a faint purple light.


    "Holy shit, Mo Jiu, Mo Chen, we''re rich."


    Feng Chen Lang looked at the purple crystals and the herbs on the wall in shock.


    When Jun Mo Chen saw this, he was not the least bit excited. On the contrary, he had a serious expression on his face.


    "You brat, don''t get so worked up. I''m afraid there''s danger around here."


    Jun Mo Chen had been out for a long time and had seen a lot of things. He knew that there were no free lunches in the world, and the rewards and risks were always proportional.


    "Mo Chen, you''re too careful. This is the place that Elegy introduced us to, how could it be dangerous?"


    Feng Chenlang said with an expression of indifference.


    However, when Jun Qiyan heard the two words'' Jun Yunge, ''his frown immediately deepened. Since Jun Yunge was the one who had introduced them, he should be extra careful.


    "Alright, I''ll go pick the herbs first."


    Feng Chen Lang saw that the two in front of him had no intention of moving, so he immediately pulled out a Heart Congealing Grass from the wall and placed it into his storage ring.


    After a while, the surroundings were still silent. Jun Mo Chen''s tense expression relaxed slightly, and he whispered to Jun Qianyan beside him,


    "It''s been a long time. There shouldn''t be any problems."


    Jun Qiyan nodded, but his heart was still full of vigilance.


    The surroundings were completely silent. Other than the sounds of Jun Qiyan and the others gathering medicinal herbs, there was nothing else.


    Everyone kept silent at the same time, even the noisiest Feng Chen Lang rarely said anything.


    "Wait, listen. What is that sound?" Jun Qiyan''s eyebrows suddenly knitted together as she looked at Jun Mo Chen and Feng Chen Lang.


    She had been hunted for many years in her previous life, and nothing could escape her ears.


    What''s that sound?" On the other hand, Feng Chen Lang''s expression changed.


    "Then, what are those?!" Feng Chen Lang shakily pointed at the countless sparkling red dots in the darkness in front of them.


    "Sky Demon Scorpion ¡­" This was the first time a look of fear had appeared on his face.


    When Feng Chenlang heard this, his small face instantly turned deathly pale.


    Although the Sky Demon Scorpion''s rank was not high, its quantity was extremely large.


    At the very least, twenty to thirty of them could possibly be more than a thousand. They fed on cultivators, had a bloody and brutal personality, and had extremely poisonous bodies. They were one of the organisms that humans loathed.


    Seeing the expressions on their faces, Jun Qiyan knew how difficult this thing was to deal with.


    "Damn it." Feng Chenlang cursed in his heart.


    The three of them leaned against each other and turned their backs to each other.


    "Am I going to die here today?" Feng Chenlang said with a sullen face:


    "I don''t want to die yet. I''m in the prime of my youth, and there are still countless young girls waiting to marry me, who is so handsome and beautiful."


    Feng Chen Lang looked at the Heavenly Demon Scorpion that was increasing in number. He couldn''t help but gradually use more strength to grip the sword hilt, and his joints began to turn white.


    "Can you shut up?!" Jun Mo Chen could not help but berate him. This kid was really ambitious. He was still in the mood to talk about this even though his life was on the line.


    Feng Chen Lang pursed his lips in dissatisfaction, but didn''t continue nagging.


    "Let''s do it. If we can survive today, we will be brothers through life and death." Feng Chen Lang''s lips twitched, but he didn''t say anything after that. He brandished the longsword in his hand, and slashed it towards the Sky Demon Scorpion.


    The corner of Jun Qiyan''s mouth raised into a smile. The golden Spiritual Energy gushed out unceasingly, sweeping across the densely packed land in front of him.

 C44

    Countless Sky Devil Scorpion''s rushed towards the three of them. There seemed to be no end to their numbers. At the same time, the spiritual energy of the three began to slowly weaken ¡­


    Jun Qiyan''s long and shapely eyebrows tightly knitted together. She simply could not continue like this.


    Actually, if the Octadic Snake was to come out, the current situation was nothing. However, if it wanted to improve, it needed a certain amount of actual combat experience.


    It would be impossible to achieve a breakthrough by relying on the Bodhisattva. Jun Qiyan was still in the midst of considering countermeasures when the Heavenly Devil Scorpion continued to rush towards him.


    The pincer attack from the left and right appeared to be the outcome of an undying outcome. Upon seeing this, Feng Chen Lang, who was at the side, lost control as he shouted, "Be careful!"


    Jun Qiyan didn''t have enough time to overreact when she heard a ''plop'' sound. A figure fell right in front of her.


    Jun Qiyan''s beautiful eyes were wide open, and couldn''t help but feel a little astringent.


    From her previous life until now, there had never been a person who was willing to sacrifice their life for her. Moreover, she had only known Feng Chenlang for a few days.


    In the end, what virtue did she, Jun Qianyan, have to have Feng Chenlang treat her so sincerely and even protect her with his life?


    Jun Qiyan''s heart was filled with a complicated emotion for a period of time. She didn''t know whether to laugh or cry.


    She wanted to grab the people below her and ask if he was stupid. Even if it was the Sky Demon Scorpion, if that attack had injured her, she wouldn''t have lost her life.


    Because of the Octadic Snake, this kind of low level magic beast couldn''t hurt her at all. However, Feng Chenlang was different, so he might very well die ¡­


    This eighteen or nineteen year old boy had moved Jun Qiyan''s heart that had been frozen in ice for ten thousand years with the purest of emotions.


    "Surge out!" Her eyes were bloodshot, like a demon that had just crawled out of hell.


    A mass of black fog seeped out of Jun Qiyan''s body, and an extraordinarily handsome figure appeared in front of Jun Mochen.


    Jun Mo Chen''s eyes were filled with disbelief. According to his understanding, the only life form that could enter the human body was the contract beast. As for the contract beast that could transform into a human, only a God Beast could do so ¡­


    When he thought about this, Jun Mo Chen''s expression turned even more incredulous. His little sister was really much stronger than he had imagined.


    "Kill them all!" Jun Qiyan''s voice was as cold as an ice cave.


    But at the moment when the last Sky Demon Scorpion appeared, a loud rumbling sound reverberated in the air and the originally tightly closed door began to collapse.


    "Dye, we''re trapped inside." Jun Mo Chen said after a moment of silence.


    At this moment, Jun Qianyan''s eyes were filled with Feng Chen Lang''s injuries, and he could not hear what Jun Mo Chen was saying clearly.


    "Detoxification pill, Spirit Gathering Pill, detoxification ¡­" Jun Qiyan finished everything in order. However, the person in front of him had yet to show any signs of essential factors.


    "What''s going on? That shouldn''t be the case." Jun Qianyan muttered to himself as he held Feng Chenlang''s head and looked at his deathly pale face.


    "Forget it." Jun Qiyan threw Feng Chen Lang onto the ground and glanced at the people below.


    Jun Mo Chen was dumbfounded.


    "No more saving? "Then why did he ¡­" Before Jun Mo Chen could finish his sentence, he saw Jun Qiyan winking at him, and he instantly understood what she meant.


    "It''s useless to save him. It''s best to dig a hole and bury him!" Jun Mo Chen thought deeply for a moment, then said seriously.


    "Cough cough cough!" The two of you have no conscience at all. You actually treated me like this! "


    Feng Chenlang held his chest as if he was extremely injured.


    Jun Qianyan looked at him coldly and said, "Eh? "He''s awake."


    Jun Qiyan''s voice was incomparably sweet, but it caused Feng Chenlang to uncontrollably break out in a cold sweat.


    Actually, he had woken up the moment Jun Qiyan fed him the antidote. Because he had bitten his arm, coupled with his own strength and the fact that Jun Qiyan had treated him in time, there wasn''t much of a problem.


    However, he didn''t open his eyes because he wanted to see the miserable wailing appearance of this little brat.


    Who would have thought that the other party would be so ruthless, wanting to bury him alive!


    "Tsk, I thought you''d never wake up again." Jun Qiyan wore a smile that was not quite a smile, but rather a strange one.


    Feng Chen Lang was stunned. It took him three seconds to react.


    "You, you already knew, right?" Feng Chenlang puffed up his cheeks with an angry look on his face.


    Jun Mo Chen looked at the pair of living treasures in front of him and smiled.


    "What do I know?!" Jun Qiyan innocently said, "If you die, shouldn''t I bury you? "You want to kill this guy on the street?!"


    Jun Qianyan had a face full of shock. He didn''t give Feng Chen Lang the chance to refute at all. Feng Chen Lang was immediately silenced. This kid really had a venomous tongue; he wasn''t cute in the slightest!


    "Alright, alright, the most important thing right now is to think of a way to get out of here." Jun Mo Chen said.


    Upon hearing these words, Jun Qiyan and Feng Chenlang also stopped bickering, a trace of seriousness appearing on their faces.


    "The stone door is blocked, it''s impossible to leave through the main entrance ¡­" Feng Chen Lang looked at the tightly blocked stone door, and he shook his head, then looked away.


    The rocks here were made of diamond and could not be smashed with spiritual energy. If he wanted to leave, he could only find another way.


    "There''s water here."


    The corner of Jun Qiyan''s mouth curled up into a smile as she looked at the flourishing plants around her.


    "So what if there''s water?" Feng Chenlang asked with a puzzled expression.


    "Naturally, there is an exit when there is water." Jun Qiyan looked at Feng Chen Lang like he was an idiot.


    The few of them followed the wet ground and entered it. As expected, they saw a small stream not far away. Following the stream, a ray of light appeared before their eyes.


    "I''m finally out of this damn place!" Feng Chen Lang couldn''t help but sigh as he looked at the light in front of him.


    Jun Qiyan''s expression also relaxed a little.


    "You, you came out?!" Jun Laige''s voice was trembling as he looked at the people before her in disbelief.


    Jun Qiyan narrowed her eyes. She recalled Jun Yunge''s rejections when they had first entered the cave, and was even more certain that this woman knew that there was something wrong with the cave.


    "Miss Elegy, are you saying that you''re surprised that we came out? Don''t tell me you know what''s inside?!" The corners of Jun Qiyan''s lips curled up as the latter half of her sentence suddenly became sharp and aggressive.


    "I ¡­" Jun Yunge was at a loss for words.

 C45

    Once Jun Qianyan said this, the surrounding people immediately quietened down. Feng Chen Lang looked at Jun Yunge with a complicated expression on his face.


    "Big brother!"


    Just as the awkward situation had begun to unfold, the little shota suddenly rushed into the embrace of Jun Qiyan, his face full of dependence.


    The stiff expression on Jun Qianyan''s face eased a bit. At the beginning, he had been afraid of the danger inside, but he hadn''t let this little fellow follow him. Now that he thought about it, his decision was right.


    "Mo Chen, Chen Lang. I-I really didn''t know that there was a Sky Demon Scorpion inside ¡­"


    As soon as Jun Yunge finished speaking, the faces of Jun Mo Chen and the others suddenly turned colorful.


    Jun Yunge also realized that he had made a mistake in his words. He was about to explain himself when Feng Chen Lang interrupted him, "Alright, let''s leave this matter at this for now. You don''t have to say anymore."


    As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Chen Lang looked at Jun Laige in disappointment, and then returned to his tent.


    Jun Qiyan shrugged her shoulders. Since this woman wanted to play with her, she would definitely tell her what it meant to play with one''s own flame!


    "A failure in accomplishing something is more than enough!" Ning Xuanyan, who had been silent at the side, fiercely left these words behind and returned to her tent as well.


    For a moment, the only one left standing in the large open space was Jun Laige.


    Jun Yunge stared fixedly at Jun Qianyan''s back, his beautiful eyes seeming to be poisoned. It was not as pitiful and elegant as before.


    She knew that there was a Sky Demon Scorpion inside, but she did not intend to kill Feng Chen Lang.


    The reason why she came out this time was due to the ''Heavenly Flame'', and the reason why the Sword Spirit Sect allowed her and Ning Xueluo to gather the genius disciples of the East Xuan Continent as a new student.


    As for Feng Chenlang, he had been her target from the start. However, his many years of friendship with him had also let her know that Feng Chen''s will was not in the Sword Spirit Sect.


    She understood that even though Feng Chenlang was usually frivolous, he was indeed a very assertive person. Originally, she wanted to trap Feng Chen Lang in the cave and then take the opportunity to enter.


    Of course, she had a medicine specifically designed to suppress the Sky Demon Scorpion. This way, she would be able to save Feng Chenlang and Jun Mo Chen''s lives.


    She could just use the grace of saving her life and ask him to join the Sword Spirit Sect, and there would be nothing left for Feng Chenlang to say.


    She knew of Feng Chenlang''s strength, so it was absolutely impossible for him to deal with so many Sky Devil Scorpion in such a short period of time.


    Jun Yunge''s eyes darkened. He had truly underestimated that person. It would be good if a man could be used by her, but if the other party was going against him ¡­


    She, Jun Yunge, would definitely make him regret being born into this world!


    In the dead of the night, a black figure rushed into Jun Qianyan''s room. It was none other than Jun Mo Chen.


    "Little girl, why are you looking for me?" Jun Mo Chen asked as he took off the black robe on his body.


    "Did you notice anything wrong with Jun Yunge?" Jun Qiyan did not plan to beat around the bush.


    Jun Mo Chen was stunned. He instantly understood the meaning behind Jun Qianyan''s words, "Are you suspecting that she was the one behind today''s events?"


    Even though Jun Mo Chen felt that what happened today was strange, but he didn''t dare to think too deeply about it.


    The corners of Jun Qianyan''s lips curled up in a cold smile, "It''s not just today''s matter. Brother, do you still remember when we first arrived at the Howling Forest?"


    Jun Qiyan coldly said as she looked at the person in front of her.


    Jun Mo Chen nodded; he naturally remembered the two of them being chased down by the Howling Forest on the very first day they arrived there.


    "I suspect she did it, too." Jun Qiyan said in a deep voice.


    "Of course, there''s no evidence right now." Jun Qiyan pursed her lips.


    Jun Mo Chen thought about it for a moment, then said: "Don''t act rashly on this matter for now, and there''s also Ning Xuanyan."


    Ning Xuanyan was the Holy Maiden of the Sword Spirit Sect. The two of them were standing on their backs, but in the entire Sword Spirit Sect, even if Jun Qiyan had a Divine Beast, she was still far from being able to contend against them.


    "Of course I know that." Jun Qiyan nodded. Of course she wouldn''t be so foolish as to throw away her life.


    "Don''t let Feng Chenlang know about this yet." Jun Qiyan said, "That kid can''t hide his words."


    Jun Mo Chen nodded.


    After Jun Mo Chen left, a trace of viciousness flashed across Jun Qiyan''s eyes. ''If someone doesn''t offend me, then I won''t offend them.'' This was her standard way of doing things, but if someone dared to scheme against her, then she wouldn''t mind playing with them.


    The next morning, Jun Qiyan acted as if nothing had happened, her face filled with a smile as if she had forgotten what had happened yesterday.


    "Good morning, little sister Elegy." Jun Qiyan yawned and said with a beaming smile.


    "Morning." The corner of Jun Laige''s mouth twitched as he thought about the strength of the other party. However, he was still able to suppress the unhappiness in his heart.


    "Brother Chen Lang, do you really not plan on entering the Sword Spirit Sect?" Jun Yunge looked at Feng Chen Lang pitifully.


    "How many times have I told you? I''m not going." Feng Chenlang had always thought that women were especially troublesome.


    In addition to what he had said yesterday, his heart was filled with loathing towards Jun Laige. At this moment, his tone was somewhat harsh.


    "Big brother Chen Lang ¡­" Jun Yunge bit his lips as tears welled up in his eyes, as if he had suffered an enormous grievance.


    "I said, Brother Lang, this is your mistake." Jun Qiyan said slowly as he looked at the impatient Feng Chen Lang.


    "Beauty is all for protection. Say, do you think I''m right?" Jun Qiyan looked at Jun Yunge.


    Jun Yunge didn''t know how to respond.


    Feng Chenlang also looked at Jun Qiyan in surprise, not knowing what she was trying to say.


    "Nian, are you hungry? Big brother is going to take you to eat." Jun Qiyan did not say anything else but smiled as he pulled the years beside him away.


    "Big brother, do you hate that big sister?"


    Nian and Jun Qiyan had not spoken a word along the way. After a while, Nian suddenly asked in a childish voice.


    "Eh?" Jun Qiyan was truly startled by the question. She looked at the little man in front of her with a bit of surprise. She hadn''t been able to find any trace of displeasure in Jun Yunge''s words.


    How did this little guy sense it?!


    "Big brother, although you''ve always been smiling at Jun Laige, every time you look at him, you''ve never been able to catch a glimpse of his smile. Every year, I can tell that you hate that big sister of yours."


    The little shota stopped in his tracks and looked at Jun Feiyan with a serious expression.


    "Year after year." Jun Qiyan looked worriedly at the little shota. She had learned to read words at such a young age, but she didn''t dare to imagine what kind of life it was like before she lost track of herself.


    "Big brother doesn''t like that big sister. It''s just that year, don''t think too much. Just be happy about it in the future." Jun Qiyan squatted down and ruthlessly rubbed the little shota''s chubby face.


    Nian Nian blinked his eyes, then the corner of his mouth curled up into a big smile.

 C46

    After Jun Qiyan and the little shota went back, everything went on peacefully.


    Suddenly, the ball inside Jun Qiyan''s body became excited.


    "Mother, mother!"


    Jun Qiyan looked at the ball in surprise, as it had been silent for a long time.


    "Mother, I feel the aura of a ''Heavenly Flame''! And it''s not too far away! "


    When Jun Qiyan heard this, her face couldn''t help but flash with an excited expression. It must be known that they had been searching for the ''Heavenly Flame'' for more than half a month.


    Jun Qiyan rushed over in the direction Qiu Qiu had pointed out.


    Jun Yunge looked at the little shota and smiled, "I heard from your brother that you''re called Nian Nian, right?"


    The little shota looked at the person in front of him coldly without replying.


    Jun Yunge awkwardly smiled and stretched out his hand to touch the little shota''s head, just like how Jun Qiyan often did with her little shota.


    Even though the little shota avoided Jun Yunge''s intimate actions, he still didn''t say a word.


    The fact that the little shota kept evading Jun Yunge made her feel somewhat awkward, and her previously gentle face turned colder as well.


    "You really don''t know what''s good for you." Jun Yunge couldn''t help but mutter.


    However, what Jun Yunge did not see was a flash of killing intent in the eyes of the little shota.


    Jun Qiyan''s heart sank deeper and deeper. The ''Heavenly Flame'' was far more powerful than she could imagine. Her current location was at least a hundred meters away from the ''Heavenly Flame''.


    However, Jun Qiyan could still clearly feel the power of the flame. A hundred meters away, a violent wind was blowing, and countless dust particles were swirling towards her.


    Like a sandstorm, Jun Qiyan narrowed her eyes and used her hands to block the incoming sandstorm.


    "That''s ¡­" Jun Qiyan looked at the person in front of her with a face full of shock. That small figure was basically the same person she had been with for the past few days.


    At this moment, the tiny being was floating in midair. Countless black fog emerged from his body, and balls of black flames burned continuously on the ground, turning everything into ashes.


    Jun Qiyan took a closer look and realized that the person standing in front of him was none other than Jun Yunge.


    "Year after year!"


    The figure in the air paused, and then the countless flames disappeared in an instant.


    "Big brother." Xiao Yun''s big eyes blinked as they landed on the ground. He looked innocently at Jun Feiyan.


    Jun Qianyan looked at the scene in front of her with disbelief. She had never thought that the ''Heavenly Flame'' she had been bitterly pursuing these past few days would actually happen every year!


    "Big brother ¡­" When Nian Bing saw that the person before him was ignoring him, he could not help but panic.


    He lowered his head, twisting the golden bean between his fingers as if he was losing money.


    At this time, Jun Laige''s hair had already been burnt off and his eyebrows had disappeared without a trace. His entire body was covered with the burn marks of the ''Heavenly Flame''. He was in a coma due to the excessively excruciating pain.


    Jun Qiyan observed for a moment. Jun Yunrue was indeed a disciple of the Sword Spirit Sect, and had countless treasures on her body. It was precisely because of this that her life wasn''t in danger.


    "Year after year, no, what should I call you? Soul Devouring Flame? " Jun Qiyan expressionlessly looked at the little shota in front of him.


    "Mother ¡­" The soft voice of the little shota sounded once again beside Jun Feiyan''s ear.


    Jun Qiyan frowned.


    "What did you call me?!" Jun Qiyan''s voice couldn''t help but become colder; he hated being deceived the most.


    The little shota''s shoulders shrank. He gritted his teeth and said in a single breath, "The first person I met who was good to me was you, and you are my mother."


    In the end, the little shota''s words became even more tearful.


    When Jun Qiyan heard these words, he couldn''t help but feel a bit more heartache.


    "Why did you kill her?" Even so, Jun Qiyan, you can''t accept that your cute, innocent little brother has suddenly turned into a murderous demon.


    "A person that mother hates is unworthy to live in this world." The little shota looked at the person lying on the ground with a cold look in his eyes.


    "You ¡­" Jun Qiyan was speechless.


    "Do you know that everyone has a right to live?" Jun Qiyan seriously looked at the little shota.


    The little shota pouted and retorted, "But mother hates her."


    "Year after year!" Jun Qiyan''s voice couldn''t help but become a bit more severe, "Forget it, I won''t argue with you about this. You can go."


    Jun Qiyan rubbed the center of her brows; she knew that the biggest headache she had right now was because of Jun Yunge. According to her understanding, he was the personal disciple of the grand elder of the Sword Spirit Sect, and was also the holy maiden of the Sword Spirit Sect.


    Her death would surely cause a huge stir, and if it was discovered that she had done so year after year, then the entire Jun Family would be implicated ¡­


    It would be better if he was the only one to speak.


    "Mother, don''t leave Nian behind ¡­ "Wuwu. After the new year, you have to listen to your mother. Mother, don''t leave the new year ¡­"


    The middle-aged man pleaded in a low voice.


    These few days, Jun Qiyan truly liked this child from the bottom of her heart ¡­


    Jun Qiyan was about to say something when she heard the sound of footsteps. Her heart tightened as she dragged Nian Bing away from this place.


    After that, a small face covered with tears appeared in front of Jun Qiyan''s eyes. Jun Qiyan''s heart trembled.


    Jun Qiyan sighed and said, "Forget it. You have to listen to me in the future, okay?"


    Jun Qiyan solemnly said.


    The eyes of the little shota lit up, and then nodded heavily.


    With his first time signing with the Baji Snake, the contract between Jun Qianyan and the Soul Devouring Flame went particularly smoothly.


    After the contract was signed, the little shota disappeared without a trace, leaving behind only the black flame in Jun Qiyan''s hand.


    "Damn woman, you''re really lucky."


    It was unknown when the figure of the Octopus Snake had appeared beside Jun Qianyan. He leaned his back against a large tree as his peach blossom eyes flickered with starlight.


    Jun Qiyan lazily glanced at the Octadic Snake, not saying a word.


    "Let me tell you a piece of good news. The Black Demon Crystal has been found."


    The sound of the Octadic Snake fell to the ground.


    Jun Qiyan blinked several times. After being stunned for three seconds, her voice unconsciously trembled.


    "You, what did you say?"


    "We''ve found the Black Demon Crystal. That guy, Soul Devouring Flame, is actually eating the Black Demon Crystal like candy. What a waste of such a precious resource!"


    The Octadic Snake couldn''t help but complain in a low voice.

 C47

    In a flash, Jun Qianyan appeared within the Nuwa Stone. At this moment, the inside of the stone could be said to be abuzz with noise and excitement.


    "Flower, you''re so pretty. Flower, why don''t you look at me? Flower!"


    At the same time, the Light Rainbow was cowering in the embrace of the Octadic Great Snake. The Soul Devouring Flame that had just come in was nibbling on the pile of Black Demon Crystals.


    The corner of Jun Qiyan''s mouth twitched. She even felt that her teeth hurt when she heard that "gabeng gabeng" sound.


    Di Mo Jiu''s face was still pale and pale, and the black magic crystal above him was quickly sending spiritual power to Jun Mo Chen.


    "How is Lord Nine doing?" Jun Qiyan''s voice unconsciously became choked with sobs.


    "Daddy will wake up soon. Three to five days should be enough." The ball bounced and bounced as it spoke.


    Only after hearing the guarantee from the ball did Jun Qiyan''s complexion improve.


    Jun Qiyan didn''t dare to stay any longer in the Nuwa Stone, so he left within the time it took for an incense stick to burn.


    Jun Mo Chen heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the figure of Jun Qianyan slowly returning.


    "Where did you go?!" Jun Mo Chen pulled Jun Qiyan aside and said in a low voice.


    "Just now, Ning Xuanyan and some of the Sword Spirit Sect disciples discovered that Jun Yunge was almost killed by someone."


    Jun Mo Chen looked at Jun Qianyan as he spoke slowly. After a moment of hesitation, he cautiously asked, "Girl, this has nothing to do with you, right?"


    Jun Qiyan was silent for a moment before he sighed and recounted what had just happened.


    Jun Mo Chen was flabbergasted when he heard this. "You, you said that year is the year that the Soul Devouring Flame took human form?" Jun Mo Chen asked in shock.


    Originally, he only knew that the Soul Devouring Flame had spiritual awareness, but he didn''t expect it to transform into a human form. Even after touring all these years, he had never encountered such a strange occurrence.


    Jun Qiyan stretched out her hand, and a ball of black flame appeared in her palm.


    Seeing this, Jun Mo Chen could only sigh at the heaven defying luck of Jun Qiyan.


    "Since we''ve found the Heavenly Flame, let''s hurry up and go back. Grandpa sent a letter saying that the Third Prince has been conferred the title of Crown Prince ¡­"


    When Jun Mo Chen mentioned the ''Third Prince'', he clearly paused for a moment; he knew that his sister had always been in love with the Third Prince.


    However, when Jun Mo Chen saw that his younger sister''s face was unaffected, his heart calmed down a little.


    Jun Qiyan and the others left the Howling Forest on the very same day, preparing to return to the capital.


    "The Qualifying Competition of Tynes Academy is going to happen once every four years in a few days. What do you guys think?"


    Feng Chenlang leaned back in his chair, his arms wrapped around his head as he looked at Jun Qianyan and Jun Mo Chen.


    Tanas Academy is one of the most famous academies in the Eastern Xuan Continent.


    Jun Mo Chen raised his eyes, but he wasn''t very interested. There were very few people in the entire Tanas Academy who could teach him. His many years of experience outside the academy could be said to be even richer than that of some teachers.


    "What? You want to participate?" Jun Qiyan raised an eyebrow and looked at Feng Chen Lang.


    Feng Chen Lang, who had his mind stabbed, chuckled.


    "Tynes Academy is good for you." The low and deep voice of the Octadic Snake slowly sounded out in his spiritual sense.


    "As far as I know, there''s another primordial beast locked up in Tanas Academy."


    Jun Qiyan''s brows rose slightly as he asked, "An ancient beast?"


    "Because it should be one of the Nine Sons of the Taotie." Legend has it that one of the Nine Sons of the Dragon was the ancient beast Taotie, who was also one of the twelve demon generals under the demon god''s command.


    "Muji?" Seeing Jun Qianyan not making a sound, Feng Chen Lang called out to her in a low voice.


    "Ah, Tanas Academy, huh. I was just about to register myself." Jun Qiyan said with a smile as he lifted up the strands of hair by his side.


    "Then let''s make a deal. Seven days later, Tanas Academy won''t leave."


    Afterwards, Jun Qiyan''s thoughts drifted away once again.


    Just as he arrived at the Jun residence, Jun Qianyan saw more than a hundred people waiting at the entrance. The old man in front of him was none other than Jun Xuanfeng.


    "Grandpa ¡­" A trace of awkwardness flashed across Jun Qianyan''s face as she looked at Jun Xuanfeng and the other members of the Jun Family.


    "Aiyo, grandpa is so kind. You finally came back, why have you lost so much weight?" Jun Xuanfeng hurriedly stepped forward to greet Jun Qianyan.


    "Stinking brat, get over here right now!"


    Jun Xuanfeng looked at Jun Qianyan''s petite figure as his heart ached uncontrollably. He turned around and looked at Jun Mo Chen, who had just alighted from the carriage.


    Jun Mo Chen scratched his head innocently.


    "Tsk, you''re still alive." A sharp and harsh voice sounded at the wrong time.


    Jun Qiyan indifferently looked at Jun Yanran, Shen Shuyi, and the others by her side; there wasn''t much emotion on her face.


    When the Third Prince was conferred the title of Crown Prince, Jun Yanran''s status also rose accordingly, and she became the Crown Prince''s consort. She became even more perverted.


    "Shut up!" Jun Xuanfeng heavily tapped his cane, and a trace of anger appeared on his face.


    Shen Shuyi hurriedly said, "Father, Yanran is worried about dying herself ¡­"


    When Jun Qianyin heard Shen Shuyi''s excuse, she gave a disdainful sneer. Did Jun Yanran care about her? It would be great if he didn''t curse her to go to hell earlier.


    Jun Xuanfeng''s complexion finally improved a bit, but he still unhappily opened his mouth and said:


    "You are the princess consort now. Your words and actions represent the crown prince''s dignity."


    Seeing that more and more people were coming over, Jun Xuanfeng said in a low voice, "Alright, you can all go back now."


    Jun Qianyan wanted to return to her own courtyard, but was stopped by Jun Yanran.


    "I will be the princess consort in three months. I will be the queen in the future, and you will always be a piece of trash!" Jun Yanran looked complacently at Jun Qiyan. If she had a tail, she might even be able to lift it up to the sky.


    "So?" Jun Qiyan looked at the person in front of her with a smile. It could be said that she could crush Jun Yanran to death with a finger.


    "You!" Jun Yanran was so angry by Jun Qianyan''s disdainful attitude that she almost died. Ever since Di Yuming was conferred the title of Crown Prince, no one dared to throw her such an expression. How dare she?

 C48

    Jun Qianyan looked coldly at Jun Yanran, and said in a cold voice, "If I were you, I would obediently stay at home, so that no one could steal my position as the princess consort."


    Jun Qiyan''s words stunned Jun Yanran for three seconds. After thinking it over carefully, she was still unable to understand what she meant.


    "Jun Qiyan, what do you mean by saying those words clearly?!" Jun Yanran held onto Jun Qiyan''s arm, not allowing her to leave.


    Jun Qianyan looked at him with a faint smile, and shook off the hand that Jun Yanran was holding onto her arm with all her might.


    After leaving, only Jun Yanran was left standing blankly on the spot.


    After returning to his room, Jun Qianyan immediately dove into the Nuwa Stone to cultivate. These past few days, he had accumulated quite a bit of spirit energy within the Howling Forest, and was constantly showing signs of a breakthrough.


    Within the Nuwa Stone, a massive vortex of spirit power had formed with Jun Qiyan at the center. Countless amounts of spirit power were gushing toward the center of the vortex.


    After an unknown period of time, Jun Qiyan slowly opened her eyes and let out a long breath. At this time, she had already reached the eighth level of Qi Cultivating Stage and was showing signs of breaking through to the ninth level!


    Jun Qiyan stretched his waist in satisfaction, the fatigue of the past few days had all disappeared without a trace.


    "Someone''s coming." The Octadic Snake reminded him with good intentions.


    "Miss." Bi Yun handed over a set of clothes to Jun Qianyan.


    Jun Qiyan frowned as he looked at the clothes in front of him; he wasn''t very interested.


    Normally, girls would not be interested in clothes that they liked. They would not even have the mood to dress up their own appearance.


    "Master wants you to change into this set of clothes and attend the crowning ceremony of the crown prince." Bi Yun respectfully said.


    Jun Qiyan nodded, her face devoid of emotion.


    In the carriage.


    "Dye, all the major families of the Eastern Tomb Nation will send people to attend this time." Jun Mo Chen said elegantly as he held the fan in his hand.


    Jun Qiyan looked away and lightly nodded her head. She had no relationship with Di Yuming at all. It wasn''t because of the Jun Family that she wouldn''t participate in the conferred ceremony.


    The horse carriage soon arrived at the main hall. They didn''t arrive early, but most of the people from the various families were already there.


    Under the rays of the sun, the golden tiles glowed resplendently. The floor made out of white jade looked extremely luxurious. There were lifelike golden dragons carved on the pillars in the hall, as if they would break out of their confinement in the next second and soar through the horizon.


    The entire palace was filled with the beauty of the majestic atmosphere.


    Jun Qiyan withdrew her gaze and walked into the hall with Jun Mo Chen.


    This was the first time the original owner had entered the Imperial Palace. Although the original owner was once the young lady of the Jun Family, he had been born with a poor spirit and was unable to practice.


    Since Jun Yanran was the future Crown Prince''s consort, she had arrived in the hall early.


    When he saw Jun Qianyan and Jun Mo Chen walking over side by side, he immediately said in a strange tone:


    "Oh, isn''t this the young mistress?"


    Seeing that Jun Yanran and Jun Qianyan were at loggerheads, the other young mistresses of the aristocratic families started to speak up as well. "He''s just a piece of trash."


    "Yanran, let me tell you, there are some people who do not know their own morals. You must be careful, it is hard to avoid some people who do not have the intention to change their mind."


    "That''s right, there''s a saying. The more ugly people are, the more trouble they will cause!"


    As Jun Qianyan listened to the crowd, he kept talking back and forth. His expression was still the same as before, as if he was watching a few clowns jumping around.


    Jun Mo Chen''s handsome face was now as black as the bottom of a pot, and the white jade fan in his hand was slowly tightening, showing signs of getting angry.


    He was about to step forward and teach these young mischievous ladies a lesson when Jun Qiyan stopped him.


    "Bro, we just bit each other. We can''t just go back, can we?"


    The young madams of the Jun Family were stunned for a moment. They hadn''t expected that the rumored weak Jun Family''s eldest daughter would dare to speak to them in such a manner.


    "Whoever answers will be the one." Jun Qiyan said.


    The faces of the few young mistresses from aristocratic families became extremely unsightly. However, because of Jun Mo Chen, they had no choice but to remain silent.


    Ha ha-ha ha-ha ha-ha ha!" "Suddenly, a burst of laughter came from outside the hall.


    The few young mistresses wanted to curse out loud, but when they saw the person outside the door, they couldn''t help but shrink back. All the malicious words stuck in their throats.


    "Mo Chen, this little sister of yours is quite interesting. No wonder you are so protective of her." Feng Chenlang was unrestrained as he elegantly walked in.


    Today, Feng Chenlang was deliberately dressed up. As the saying goes, a man relies on a horse to saddle his horse. Feng Chenlang''s appearance as a noble young master immediately won the hearts of a large group of young girls ¡­


    "Sister, are you interested in getting to know each other?" Feng Chen Lang blinked his peach blossom eyes, and continued to discharge electricity at Jun Qianyan.


    However, countless young girls secretly gritted their teeth as they tried their best to dismember Jun Feiyan''s body into thousands of pieces.


    Jun Qiyan silently looked up to the sky, not bothering with the fool in front of him.


    "Chen Lang, you''re really too desperate to eat. No one dares to carelessly hook up with you. Aren''t you afraid that Mo Chen will rip you apart with his bare hands?" The first half of his sentence had ridiculed Jun Qianyan in an incomparably ugly manner, while the second half had raised Jun Mo Chen''s status.


    Even Jun Mo Chen was at a loss for words when it came to the current situation.


    Outside the great hall, three young men walked over in the opposite light. The young man looked like a character that had just walked out of a comic book; his beauty was suffocating.


    In the face of the excitement of the other young girls, Jun Qiyan indifferently cast a glance at the three of them. Her expression was the same as before, and she paid no heed to Gu Yao''s words.


    She had seen Jing Ji Bai and Gu Yao once before. As for the pale-faced, sickly person beside her, he was most likely the Ye Changsheng that Jun Mo Chen and Feng Chen Lang had often mentioned in the Howling Forest.


    In the cabinet, Di Yeming and Jun Yunge walked over side by side.


    "Is everyone here? "What are you chatting about that makes you so happy."


    She had a gentle expression on her face, appearing like the mistress of a house.


    The moment the duo saw the duo, two words appeared in everyone''s mind. A perfect match made in heaven.


    Jun Yanran looked at the slowly approaching figures of Jun Yunge and Di Yuming, and felt as if something had exploded in her mind.


    Countless questions lingered in Jun Yanran''s mind, why were the two of them together? The cabinet was where Di Yeming rested. Normally, even she, Di Yeming, would not allow himself to enter it ¡­


    But even so, Jun Yanran didn''t dare to question Di Yuming. She could only grit her teeth and silently grit her teeth.


    The young mistresses of aristocratic families who had surrounded Jun Yanran all rushed to her side as soon as she appeared.


    The one on the left and the one on the right called her sister, they called her so intimately, as if she was a long-lost sister.


    It was no wonder that even a fool would know which was more important, a future princess, and a current Holy Maiden of the Sword Spirit Sect.


    One had to know that even the current emperor had to give some face to Jun Laige.


    "Big brother Mo Chen, Big brother Chen Lang, Longevity, Ji Bai, Big brother Gu Yao."


    Jun Yunge smiled and nodded towards the crowd. Then, he strode towards Feng Chen Lang and shouted out with a smile on his face.


    Jun Qianyan couldn''t help but sigh inwardly at Jun Yunge''s ability to get so familiar with the four big shots of the capital. Could it be that an ordinary person was capable of doing such a thing?


    From the beginning till the end, Di Yaming had his eyes on Jun Qianyan, but from beginning to end, she had never once looked at him.


    This contrast was unacceptable to the crown prince.


    A large part of the reason why Di Yaming had asked Jun Qiyan to come was because of a man''s vanity. Back at the Jun residence that day, he had not forgotten how this woman had insulted him.


    "Alright, today is the day of my bestowment of the great hall. In a while, it will be held in the imperial garden. Everyone should go to the imperial garden first." Di Yeming said with a gloomy face.


    Seeing that Di Yeming was not in a good mood, everyone trembled in fear. Only the members of the Four Great Families and Feng Chen Lang were still chatting on the side.

 C49

    In the imperial garden, everyone was seated according to the Jun Family''s influence. The Jun Family was the strongest among the Four Great Families, and Jun Qiyan was the eldest daughter of the Jun Family, so she should be ranked first.


    However, since he was just a waste spirit, his first position was taken by Jun Yunge, while Jun Qiyan and Feng Chen Lang were placed side by side.


    "Hey, you''re called Jun Qiyan, right?" Feng Chenlang said in a low voice.


    Jun Qiyan didn''t even look at him, only stared at the emperor in his seat. Di Mingtian was already past his prime, his white hair made him seem as if he had gone through many vicissitudes of life.


    What a joke! Only Feng Chenlang, a retard, would dare to speak against his. There were so many people that disliked his, and she did not want to be caught red-handed.


    "Can I call you Dye in the future? My name is Feng Chenlang, you can call me Brother Lang in the future."


    Feng Chen Lang ignored Jun Qiyan as he talked to himself.


    "Haha, the reason why I called everyone here today is to announce that Third Prince Di Yeming has become Crown Prince ¡­"


    Di Mingtian laughed as he spoke. Although he was already at the end of his life, his pair of chaotic eyes still revealed a hint of shrewdness.


    The representatives from various aristocratic families all stood up one after another to surrender.


    However, none of the people from the four noble families got up, making them unable to guess what the other was thinking.


    As soon as Di Mingtian finished speaking, he turned his gaze towards Jun Yanran. Jun Yanran felt her heart almost jump out of her chest.


    "I believe that everyone present has heard that the Jun Family''s Second Miss is going to be Ye Ming''s future ¡­ "The secondary concubine."


    As Di Mingtian''s voice fell, the surroundings instantly became deathly silent.


    With a "clang" sound, the bowl in Jun Yanran''s hand fell to the ground.


    Crown Prince ¡­ Side concubine?!


    There was only a one word difference between the Crown Princess and the Crown Prince''s wife, but the difference was like heaven and earth.


    Seeing Jun Yanran lose her composure, a trace of disgust flashed past Di Mingtian''s eyes. This kind of woman actually dared to dream of becoming the mother of a country. This was simply a fantasy.


    When Di Yeming heard this, he didn''t show any expression on his face, as if he had expected this to happen.


    At this moment, everyone was dumbfounded. They looked at each other, not knowing what to say.


    "As for the Crown Princess, it is still too early to make the decision. I have my own plans for the future."


    Di Mingtian continued to smile as he spoke, but his eyes continued to look in the direction of Jun Laige, as if he was referring to something.


    Those who were present, those who were not smart, exchanged a glance and understood what Di Mingtian was thinking.


    Although Jun Laige was only a Shu girl, but he still had an even more awesome identity.


    The current Holy Maiden of the Sword Spirit Sect was also the direct descendant of the Great Elder.


    Thinking this way, he didn''t find it strange that Di Mingtian would give up on Jun Yanran.


    Jun Yanran''s eyes were fixed on Jun Lengge, and the handkerchief in her hand was slightly wrinkled.


    If it wasn''t for this woman, she would already be the Crown Prince''s consort ¡­


    Each master and each of them exchanged a few words with Di Yeming.


    "Alright, I still have some matters to attend to. As long as you are willing to do so, I will leave it to you all."


    Jun Qianyan sipped the tea in her hand, her gaze inadvertently sweeping over Jun Yanran''s direction only to see her staring at him with a gaze that yearned to devour him alive and tear him to shreds.


    Jun Qi''s eyebrows were slightly raised. She had long since stopped paying attention to Jun Yanran''s abnormal behavior.


    "Fu Chen, you go follow Jun Yunge."


    Jun Qiyan slowly said to the Octadic Snake in his spiritual sense.


    It could be said that Jun Yanran truly had a big chest and no brains. However, Jun Yunge was different. Moreover, for some reason, she couldn''t help but feel a sense of unease in her heart.


    After receiving his order, the Octadic Snake transformed into a faint black mist and floated around Jun Yanran.


    Only now did Jun Qiyan calm down.


    After the banquet had ended, Jun Qianyan looked for the figure of Jun Mo Chen in the vast sea of people.


    "Brother?" Jun Qiyan looked at his own brother who was walking forward expressionlessly with a dark expression on his face. Jun Qiyan''s eyebrows were raised slightly.


    It was unknown who had angered his brother, but Jun Mo Chen had never been one to reveal his emotions.


    Jun Mo Chen nodded, and his original ashen face looked a little better.


    "Hey, hey! Big brother Mo Chen, why didn''t you wait for me?"


    As Jun Qiyan heard this sweet voice, his entire body went numb, and he felt as if his entire being was going to collapse at any moment.


    She took a closer look and realized that the person who came was the Sun Qi-er that she met by chance in the Howling Forest.


    Jun Qiyan looked at Sun Qi-er, whose eyes were filled with red hearts, and then looked at Jun Mo Chen, who was a thousand miles away from her, before curling his lips in a very unkind manner.


    Then, he put on a look as if he understood everything. "You guys continue chatting, I''ll be leaving first."


    As the sound of his voice faded, Jun Mo Chen blinked.


    By the time Jun Mo Chen had reacted, Jun Qiyan was already long gone.


    Jun Qiyan walked on aimlessly.


    Ah!


    Suddenly, Jun Qiyan was knocked into a wall, and a bucket of dirty sewage was poured onto her body.


    Jun Qiyan''s brows tightly knitted together. The person who bumped into her clothes was most likely a palace maid from the palace.


    The other party''s face and big, watery eyes had a small, delicate nose. His dark red mouth was tightly pursed, as if he had received a fright.


    "Little, little miss is sorry, sorry." The girl kept apologizing as her large eyes were filled with fear.


    Jun Qiyan lightly sighed, but didn''t reprimand the other.


    "No problem, be careful when you walk next time." Perhaps he had committed too many sins in his previous life. In this life, if someone wanted to put him to death, she would absolutely not be right.


    When the palace maid saw that Jun Qiyan was like the other young mistresses, she immediately mustered up her courage.


    She looked at Jun Qiyan carefully for a moment, then said meekly, "My lady would like me to take you to change your clothes."


    Jun Qiyan looked at him and shook her head, "There''s no need."


    Seeing that Jun Qiyan was about to refuse, the young palace maid''s eyes immediately reddened. "Miss, you ¡­ you''d better change your clothes. If the Crown Prince and the others were to find out, I would definitely lose my life."


    As Jun Qiyan looked at the young palace maid who was on the verge of tears, she sighed and agreed.


    It was only after Jun Qiyan had agreed that the young palace maid restrained her good mood.


    They chatted non-stop with Jun Qiyan along the way.


    Jun Qiyan knew from the other party''s words that this little palace maid was called Xiao Ying, and that both her parents had died. She had a younger brother and was born retarded.


    The entire family was supported by her alone.

 C50

    Jun Qi was the first to stumble, and fell into the room.


    "Hiss ¡­" Jun Qiyan sucked in a breath of cold air as he rubbed the painful parts of his body.


    Her face was gloomy as she looked at the place in front of her. Just now, she had some doubts in her heart, but now, she was completely sure that she had been tricked.


    Jun Qianyan closed his eyes and silently cursed himself for being careless. It was because he had been moved by compassion that he had been able to take advantage of it ¡­


    Even though it was daytime, the room was completely dark. Jun Qiyan condensed the Soul Devouring Flame in her palm so that she could clearly see the path in front of her.


    The door outside had already been sealed off by the array, so it was impossible to open it from the inside. Jun Qiyan had no choice but to find another method.


    The girl groped for the wall, but inadvertently pulled a switch. With a creak, a secret passageway appeared before Jun Qiyan''s eyes.


    Jun Qiyan frowned. At this moment, this was the only path she could take. She couldn''t just sit here and wait for death ¡­


    In the hall, Jun Yanran''s eyes inadvertently caught sight of a sneaky palace maid who was nervously looking at her.


    She narrowed her eyes and sneaked in front of the little palace maid while no one was looking.


    "How is it? Has everything been settled?" Jun Yanran looked around to see that there was no one around, before she slowly asked.


    The person in front of him was none other than Little Ying, who had just pushed Jun Qiyan into the room.


    Little Ying nodded slowly, her face showing signs of nervousness.


    "Miss, I-won''t we let others know that we''re doing this ¡­?"


    Little Ying shrunk back, a trace of fear flashing through her eyes.


    Jun Yanran looked at Little Ying with disdain, and then continued, "What''s there to be afraid of? As long as you don''t say anything, no one will know. In other words, that trash doesn''t even know if he will come out alive."


    Jun Yanran''s eyes flashed with the pleasure of revenge as she spoke to here.


    Thinking of the words that Jun Qiyan had said to him that day, as well as the embarrassing words that Di Mingtian had said to him today, he felt extremely embarrassed.


    Little Ying looked at the almost sick person in front of her, and her heart trembled.


    When Jun Yanran saw Xiao Ying''s expression, she immediately frowned and viciously spoke, "Are you going to submit now?! Your little brother''s illness doesn''t want to be cured?! "


    Little Ying heard Jun Yanran''s threat and her face instantly turned pale.


    "I, I didn''t." Little Ying stuttered.


    Hearing Little Ying''s promise, Jun Yanran''s expression became a little better. Her pair of sinister eyes slowly looked into the distance.


    "Have you all seen where Jun Qiyan is?!" Jun Mo Chen frowned as he pulled Feng Chen Lang and the rest back.


    When Feng Chen heard this, he could not help but frown and ask, "Can''t I find Qiyan?!"


    "What happened?" Di Yeming looked at the chaotic scene and couldn''t help but ask.


    "Qiyan might have gone missing." Jun Mo Chen rubbed his glabella and said with a slight headache, "This is the first time that the little girl has been to the palace. She might be a little mischievous, but I don''t know where she has gone to."


    When Jun Yanran heard the conversation of the several people, she gave a look to Little Ying, gesturing for her to come forward.


    The little palace maid''s hands couldn''t help but tighten the lapels of her clothes. Under the influence of her morality and her younger brother''s choice, she still chose the latter.


    "Your Highness the Crown Prince, this servant ¡­ this servant greets Miss Jun Feiyan."


    Little Ying lowered her head and said slowly.


    Following Little Ying''s words, everyone''s attention fell on her.


    "Oh? Where have you seen it? " Di Yaming sized up the person in front of him, but didn''t have any impression of him.


    "I was in the west when I saw Miss Jun Qiyan."


    Little Ying continued.


    When everyone heard Little Ying''s words, they could not help but frown.


    The west side could be said to be a forbidden area within the imperial palace. Everyone knew this.


    "Did you see it clearly? If they were to deceive the Imperial Family, it will be a great crime that involves the entire nine clans. " Jun Mo Chen narrowed his eyes at the pile of people on the ground.


    Little Ying''s heart was originally filled with guilt, but after hearing Jun Mo Chen''s questioning, she trembled even more violently.


    "I-I don''t dare to lie."


    "Alright, perhaps Jun Qiyan likes to play so much that she accidentally ran to the west. Let''s go take a look first."


    Di Yaming frowned. Since Di Yeming was the crown prince and had already spoken, no one had any reason to refuse him.


    At the same time, Jun Qiyan was fighting a great battle with a group of bats.


    In order to prevent anyone from entering the secret passageway, Di Yeming specially raised a group of Bloodthirsty Bats.


    All intruders would be killed by it.


    Jun Qiyan leaned against the wall. His originally delicate clothes had been torn into strips by the sharp claws of the bat. Countless amounts of blood had stained his clothes, making him look miserable and miserable.


    Not too far away from her, there was a group of bloodthirsty bats staring at her.


    The originally clean ground was dyed red with blood. Countless bat corpses lay on the ground, and it was a shocking sight to behold.


    Jun Qiyan gritted her teeth as she covered the wound on her arm with one hand, but blood still flowed from the gap between her fingers.


    The pungent smell of blood became stronger in the air, and the Vampiric Bat became more and more excited.


    Jun Qiyan pursed her pale lips. If this carried on, she wouldn''t be able to do anything. Even if she wasn''t eaten by the bats, she would die from the blood loss.


    Just as Jun Qiyan was deep in thought, countless black bats surrounded her once more.


    Jun Qiyan used his spirit energy to form a huge golden shield, and then collapsed to the ground.


    If this layer of light was broken, she would definitely die.


    Perhaps it was because she had died before, but Jun Qianyan lay on the ground and looked up at the densely-packed bloodthirsty bats once more. Her heart, however, was strangely calm.


    Was she going to die here?


    According to the time when Jiu Zun woke up, it should be today ¡­


    Jun Qiyan sucked in a deep breath, no longer thinking about anything else.


    Jun Qiyan stood still, waiting for death to come.


    "Tsk, as this sovereign''s man, you can''t even handle a few broken bats, what use do you have?" An extremely familiar yet extremely pleasant voice slowly resounded in Jun Qiyan''s ears.


    Jun Qiyan''s mind went blank for three seconds. Then, she opened her eyes in disbelief and looked towards the person at her side. An unrivalled figure was standing beside her.


    The man wore a purple robe with a totem of a Resurrection Lily on it. He looked both beautiful and dangerous.


    "Little fellow, you''ve come too late for this sovereign."


    Di Mo Jiu''s white fingers lightly brushed against the sinister scar on Jun Qiyan''s arm, revealing a trace of heartache.


    Di Mo Jiu then turned to look at the Bloodthirsty Bat, his eyes filled with killing intent.


    He raised his hand and an earth-shattering force swept towards the incoming vampire bat.


    In just a split-second, all the bats fell to the ground like rain.


    Jun Qiyan''s eyes were wide open. As expected of her family''s Ninth Master, he was strong!


    Jun Qiyan raised her head and looked at Di Yaming. She held on to the wall, trying to get up. However, her legs gave out and she fell to the ground.


    Jun Qiyan bit her lips as she looked pitifully at Di Mo Jiu.


    Because he had overused his spiritual power, Jun Qiyan didn''t have the slightest bit of strength left.


    Di Mo Jiu looked at the pitiful man sitting on the ground, and his heart softened.


    In the blink of an eye, he had already carried the people below the stage horizontally.


    "You!" Jun Qiyan felt the world spin around him, and then he fell into an ice-cold embrace.


    Jun Qiyan looked at the person in front of him in a daze, not knowing how to react.


    "What are you all doing?!"


    An angry voice rang out at the wrong time. Di Yaming glared at the two people in front of him, as if he was looking at his wife.


    Jun Qiyan looked at the person in front of him with raised eyebrows, then looked at the timid and cowardly Little Ying by the side.


    Within his originally calm eyes, a trace of killing intent suddenly appeared before vanishing completely.


    Jun Qiyan hated people who lied to her the most.


    "Why are you two here? Who are you?! " Di Yeming asked in a stern voice once again when he saw Di Mo Jiu not answering him.


    The pair of sharp eyes were also staring at the hand that Di Mo Jiu was holding onto Jun Qiyan.


    "Heh, why should I explain to you? Who do you think you are? You dare to yell at me!" Di Mo Jiu laughed in a low voice, looking at Di Ye Ming with a disdainful look in his evil eyes.

 C51

    The moment when the crowd saw Di Mo Jiu, they all fell into a deathly silence. Jun Yanran was even more dumbfounded.


    How could this be? How could Jun Qianyan know such an outstanding man? Moreover, she should have already been eaten clean by those bloodthirsty bats, right ¡­


    How could he still be alive?


    Countless questions swirled in her heart. Jun Yanran looked at the scene in front of her and suddenly felt a wave of unease.


    In his subconscious, Di Yaming had always thought that Jun Qiyan was just playing a game of force. Finally, one day, she would come back to him.


    However, the moment he saw Di Yaming, he finally understood the reason why Jun Qianyan had left him. The man in front of him was simply too powerful, so powerful that even he felt ashamed of himself.


    "Jun Qiyan, are you that lacking in men? "Hrm?" Di Yaming looked at Jun Qiyan with a slightly crazy look in his eyes.


    Jun Qiyan shrunk her neck, subconsciously burying her face in Di Mo Jiu''s neck. She was exhausted, and because the Ninth Master''s embrace was so comfortable, she didn''t want to pay any attention to the person in front of her.


    Di Mo Jiu curled his lips, his eyes were a little tender.


    As for Di Yaming, when he saw the scene in front of him, his eyes turned red with rage.


    "F * ck off." Di Mo Jiu looked up at the crowd, the gentleness in his eyes instantly vanished.


    Di Yaming clenched his fists tightly as he stared at Di Mo Jiu who was hugging Jun Yanran with bloodshot eyes, unwilling to leave.


    Di Mo Jiu sneered, "You overestimate yourself!"


    As soon as the sound of his voice faded, an extremely strong stream of air blasted Di Yeming away in an instant.


    "Cough, cough." Di Yeming clutched his chest, looking at his opponent with a face full of shock.


    So powerful!


    One must know that he was a level 8 Qi Cultivating Stage cultivator, yet this man was able to knock him flying with a single move ¡­


    Everyone was dumbstruck.


    When Jun Yunge arrived, he happened to bump into such a scene.


    A man who was as handsome as a god had defeated the so-called aloof crown prince in one move ¡­


    No, or he didn''t even use a move...


    Jun Yunge thought that he knew countless outstanding men, including Ji Bai of the capital, Feng Chenlang, Ye Changsheng, Jun Mo Chen, Gu Yao ¡­


    These few peerless geniuses were rare and rare, but compared to this man in front of them, they seemed like ordinary mortals.


    It was not worth mentioning!


    Only the person before her was qualified to be her husband. Such an outstanding man could only belong to her ¡­


    When Jun Yunge''s gaze fell upon Jun Qianyan, who was in Di Mo Jiu''s arms, the admiration in his eyes instantly turned sharp.


    What right did this trash have to be carried by him? It was simply a disgrace to him!


    "This young master, I am the younger sister of Dye. Leave her to me."


    Jun Yunge revealed a smile that he thought was perfect.


    Di Mo Jiu''s heart was already full of annoyance when he was stopped by someone, but now that he was stopped again, he was so angry that he wanted to kill someone.


    "Where did this ugly bastard come from, scram!"


    Di Mo Jiu said in disgust.


    The smile on Jun Laige''s face stiffened. He hadn''t expected such an outcome. In terms of charm and beauty, he had always had a lot of confidence in himself.


    "You!"


    Many of the young mistresses couldn''t help but burst out laughing. They had long looked at Jun Laige and didn''t like his haughty and aloof attitude. However, they didn''t dare to express their displeasure because of his status.


    The young masters and mistresses of aristocratic families all quieted down when Jun Laige looked at them with a slightly murderous look in his eyes.


    Jun Yunge watched as Di Mo Jiu left, a trace of determination flashed through his eyes.


    Jun Mo Chen quickly followed him.


    "You must be Xiao Yan''s brother." Di Mo Jiu suddenly stopped and asked as he looked at the man in front of him.


    Jun Mo Chen hurriedly replied, "Yes, yes, yes."


    Jun Mo Chen looked at the man nervously, afraid that the man in front of him would kill him if he was unhappy.


    Too brutal!


    It was too bloody!


    How could such a cute, colourful family member provoke such a dangerous character?!


    Jun Mo Chen couldn''t help roaring inwardly.


    "Mm. The Jun residence. How do we leave ¡­" Di Mo Jiu paused for a moment, but still asked.


    "Ah, oh, oh. Follow me, I''ll lead the way!"


    Jun Mo Chen said as he patted his chest.


    Along the way, Jun Mo Chen''s gaze couldn''t help but fall on Jun Qiyan''s pale little face.


    Even though he had many doubts in his heart, he didn''t dare to ask as he waited for Jun Qiyan to wake up.


    "Um, this girl, why don''t I carry her back?"


    Jun Mo Chen cautiously asked. ''Could it be that this old man still wants to visit the Jun residence?''


    "No need." Di Mo Jiu coldly refused.


    When they arrived at Jun Qiyan''s room, Di Mo Jiu carefully placed him on the bed.


    Moments later, a cloud of black mist floated in through the crack in the door, before transforming into a human form and kneeling on the ground.


    "I told you to watch her properly." He lowered his head as he fiddled with the black ring on his pinky finger, causing people to be unable to see the expression on his face.


    "Your subordinate is willing to be punished!"


    The Octadic Snake didn''t say anything to defend itself, only leaving behind six words.


    "Punishment? Even if you die ten thousand times, you will still be blamed for it. " Di Mo Jiu didn''t even look at the huge snake as his deep voice slowly resounded in the room.


    There was no hint of dissatisfaction on Fu Chen''s face, as if Di Mo Jiu would kill him in the next second, he would not hesitate to wipe his neck as well.


    "Forget it. With my current identity, I can''t stay by her side forever. If something were to happen to her in the future ¡­"


    Di Mo Jiu''s eyes narrowed, his voice suddenly stopped.


    "This subordinate understands." Fu Chen hurriedly replied.


    Di Mo Jiu extended his hand and sent a wisp of Qi into Jun Qianyan''s body.


    "Boss!" Noticing Di Mo Jiu''s actions, Bajie Snake exclaimed, "Boss, you haven''t fully recovered yet. Forcing your spirit blood out like this would only hurt your core."


    The Octadic Snake couldn''t help but say.


    Di Mo Jiu didn''t even give her a glance, he just said in a deep voice, "I''m fine."


    As he finished speaking, he placed the piece of machinery in his hand into Jun Qiyan''s body.


    Di Mo Jiu looked at Jun Qiyan''s pale face, and a trace of heartache flashed across his eyes.


    After a while, Jun Qiyan''s pale face gradually turned rosy, and her long eyelashes lightly trembled.


    His lips, which had been pale, now had a tinge of red.


    Jun Qiyan slowly woke up. When she saw the person in front of her, she couldn''t help but curl her lips and softly call out to him.


    "Ninth Master." Because of his long period of drowsiness, Jun Qiyan''s voice had become somewhat hoarse.


    Di Mo Jiu touched Jun Qiyan''s forehead and asked, "How do you feel now?"


    Jun Qiyan flexed her arms, blinked, and couldn''t help but feel a little strange. The recovery this time was actually so quick. If it were any other time, it would probably take three to five days.


    "There''s nothing wrong now."


    With that, Di Mo Jiu''s heart that was hanging in the air calmed down.


    Jun Qiyan''s gaze once again fell upon the octopus snake that was kneeling at the side. He couldn''t help but recall the scene before he lost consciousness.


    "Does this matter have anything to do with Jun Yunge?" Jun Qianyan asked.


    The Baji Snake hurriedly continued when he saw Jun Qiyan asking him this question.


    "Jun Yunge didn''t do anything. I assume that it was Jun Yanran who did it." The Octadic Snake explained.

 C52

    Jun Qiyan frowned in deep thought, then sneered, "I was careless. This has nothing to do with you." Jun Qiyan slowly said.


    There was nothing wrong with forcing someone into a corner to do anything.


    It seemed that Jun Yanran really cared about Di Yeming ¡­


    "Miss ¡­"


    The people in the room were pushed open without any warning, and Bi Yun suddenly left the room.


    As for the Octadic Snake, the moment Bi Yun pushed it away, it transformed into a cloud of mist and returned to the Nuwa Stone.


    Bi Yun looked at Di Mo Jiu in the room, her face turning red.


    To think that there was such a good-looking person in the world ¡­


    Bi Yun couldn''t help but fall into a daze. Only after a while did she regain her senses.


    "Little, Miss, Master sent me to see if you are awake."


    Bi Yun lowered her head and said with a red face.


    Jun Qiyan didn''t seem to care about Bi Yun''s abnormal behavior. She nodded and softly said, "I''m fine now. I''ll go to Grandfather''s place in a bit."


    Bi Yun agreed and then quickly ran out of the room.


    Jun Qiyan propped up her head as she looked at the person before her, a trace of ridicule flashing past her eyes.


    "Tsk, what a beauty! Ninth Master, why are you so good-looking? Look, a bunch of girls are all distracted because of you!"


    Jun Qiyan pouted his lips as he spoke with dissatisfaction.


    Di Mo Jiu paused for a second after hearing Ji Hao''s words, then showed a faint smile on his face.


    "Then, is my dye because I''m out of my mind?"


    Di Mo Jiu said with a gentle smile.


    Jun Qiyan was stunned. Three seconds later, her pale face turned red.


    "Ninth Lord, you, you''re breaking the rules! Who''s the one dyeing you? Ha!" Jun Qiyan said indignantly as he grabbed the blanket in front of him.


    Damn it, how did Ninth Master become so good at flirting after just one round of sleep?!


    In the hall.


    "Dye, how are you? Are you feeling better? How did you fall into the secret passage to the palace? "


    Jun Xuanfeng nervously asked.


    "I''m much better now. Grandpa, you don''t have to worry about me." Jun Qiyan avoided the issue and said.


    After Jun Qianyan finished speaking, only then did Jun Xuanfeng calm down a little, and his muddled gaze couldn''t help but begin to size Di Mo Jiu up.


    "This is ¡­"


    When Jun Qiyan heard that his grandfather had started to inquire about the identity of the Ninth Master, her heart skipped a beat.


    "Lord Nine is my teacher!"


    Jun Qiyan didn''t give Di Mo Jiu a chance to reply, and quickly answered.


    Di Mo Jiu stopped playing with the ring, the smile on his face became even wider, but there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.


    "Grandfather, didn''t you always want to know how I recovered? Actually, the reason why I was able to cultivate was because of Ninth Master. This time, it was also he who saved me."


    Jun Qiyan hurriedly said.


    What she said wasn''t a lie! From a certain perspective, Di Mo Jiu was her teacher and the reason why he was able to recover was because of Di Mo Jiu.


    Jun Qiyan comforted himself in his heart, but for some reason, his back felt cold.


    "You''re the savior of the Jun Family!"


    After Jun Xuanfeng heard Jun Qianyan''s words, his heart was filled with gratitude. He hurriedly wanted to get up and bow to Di Mo Jiu.


    "Old senior, since you are Xiao Yan''s grandfather, then you are my grandfather. What you are doing is akin to killing a junior. Moreover, this is what I should do. After all, I am Xiao Yan''s'' teacher ''."


    Di Mo Jiu specifically bit on his teacher''s words, which caused Jun Feiyan to panic a little.


    "Good, good, good!" Jun Xuanfeng clearly admired Di Mo Jiu. He had said three ''good'' words in succession.


    There were not many people who knew about respecting the elderly and cherishing their children despite being so outstanding right now. Jun Xuanfeng beamed with joy, his heart filled with praise for Di Mo and Jiu.


    Jun Qiyan lightly coughed, signalling for Di Mo Jiu to leave as soon as possible.


    Di Mo Jiu, who was standing at the side, acted as if he didn''t hear it, and started to chat with Jun Xuanfeng.


    Jun Qiyan looked at the scene in front of him with a strange expression. However, she couldn''t say what was wrong with it. She could only sit there fuming with rage, supporting her cheeks with her hands on her hips.


    Jun Xuanfeng and Di Mo Jiu did not stop their conversation until the noon sun had risen high above their heads.


    "Xiao Jiu, the time is not here anymore. I''ve asked someone to prepare some food for you. You can leave after you eat with me." Jun Xuanfeng smiled merrily.


    At the side, Jun Qianyin, who was dozing off, was suddenly jolted awake. She looked at Di Mo Jiu in disbelief.


    "Grandfather!" And me! "


    Jun Qianyan said with some dissatisfaction. She then started to glare at the smiling Di Mo Jiu beside her, wanting nothing more than to strangle him to death.


    Eyebrows... Of course, this was on the premise that she could defeat the Ninth Master.


    Di Mo Jiu''s face was still smiling despite the fact that Jun Qianyan was looking like she wanted to eat him up.


    "Ah, Dye, if you want to eat, eat in your room. I still have something to say to Xiao Jiu."


    Jun Xuanfeng was stunned, as if he had forgotten that Jun Feiyan still existed.


    Jun Qiyan widened her eyes in shock. How in the world did this fellow manage to bribe her grandfather in just one morning?!


    The two lines of sight immediately focused on Di Mo Jiu.


    Jun Qiyan fiercely glared at Di Mo Jiu, secretly deciding in his heart that as long as the other party agreed to his request, she, she would ignore him for the rest of the day!


    "No, grandpa should go back and eat with Xiao Yan."


    Di Mo Jiu said.


    Jun Qiyan was very satisfied with the result, but he couldn''t help but explode again the next second.


    "Wh-who did you call grandpa!?" This is my grandfather! "


    Jun Qiyan angrily glared at Di Mo Jiu''s smiling face. At this moment, she was like a small, furry beast.


    "Dye, how can you talk to your master like that?" Jun Xuanfeng said in a slightly displeased tone.


    When Jun Qiyan heard this, her eyes immediately widened. Grandfather was actually angry at her because of someone he had just met for the entire morning ¡­


    Fierce her ¡­


    "It''s fine. If there''s nothing else, I''ll be taking Little Rascal and leaving."


    Di Mo Jiu smiled, bowed, and left with Jun Qianyan.


    "You, you let go of me, you bastard! "Let me go." Jun Qiyan struggled desperately, but couldn''t move a muscle due to the pair of large hands.


    "Let me go! Stealing grandfather from me, Di Mo Jiu, I''ve decided to ignore you for the entire day! "


    Jun Qiyan''s small face had become red because of the intense fight, and her hair had also become messy because of the struggle.


    As Jun Qiyan''s voice fell, he felt the world spinning around him. Soon after, his back came into close contact with the wall.


    "What did you say?"


    Di Moyu tightly held Jun Qiyan tightly in his embrace, still holding her tightly in his grip.


    Too close...


    Jun Qiyan was caught off guard by this sudden development until he saw Di Mo Jiu''s enlarged face.


    Only now did Jun Qiyan recover from her shock. She was like a deflated balloon, and her originally imposing aura had completely disappeared without a trace. She had even forgotten the reason why she was so angry at the start.


    "Hehe, Ninth, Ninth Master, I was wrong."


    Jun Qiyan pitifully gave in. She swore that it was not out of fear that she was cowed by Di Mo Jiu''s power!


    Di Mo Jiu looked at Jun Qiyan''s watery eyes and could not help but feel his throat tighten, his pair of dark eyes turning dark.


    "Ninth Master ¡­"


    Seeing that Di Mo Jiu had remained silent, Jun Qiyan continued to plead.


    But before she could finish, all the sounds stopped in her throat.


    Di Mo Jiu''s cold lips were pressed tightly against Jun Qiyan''s own.


    The soft tongue was like a small snake that pried open the white teeth of Jun Qiyan, and drilled into his mouth.


    Jun Qiyan''s brain instantly froze. She had absolutely no experience in the area of love between men and women, even though she was reborn.


    However, since she had been hunted for many years in her previous life and only wanted revenge, she had no time to spend on this.


    There was no need to even mention the original owner of this body.


    After an unknown period of time, when Jun Qiyan was having difficulty breathing, Di Mo Jiu finally let go of her.


    Di Mo Jiu looked at his lips which had already turned red and swollen from his ravaging, and couldn''t help but feel a bit annoyed. This was the first time that he had lost control of himself ¡­


    It was as if the self-control he was so proud of about this girl would collapse at any moment ¡­


    "Sorry."


    The moment Di Mo Jiu finished his sentence, he disappeared from Jun Qianyan''s sight.


    Jun Qiyan was still in a daze, and it took a long time for her to regain her senses ¡­


    Had she been forcefully kissed?


    That person was actually Ninth Master! Jun Qiyan could only feel her thoughts going wild.

 C53

    It had been two days since Jun Qiyan saw Di Mo Jiu''s figure after the incident of the strong kiss.


    Early in the morning, after Jun Qiyan finished her morning practice, she returned to her room.


    In recent days, Jun Qiyan had been diligently studying alchemy, thinking that she still didn''t have a suitable alchemy furnace. As she did so, she went to the black market to see if there was a suitable alchemy furnace.


    The black market is outside the jurisdiction of any one of the four countries.


    Most of them were mercenaries, while some were evil-doers. In addition, their power and influence were incomparably powerful ¡­


    Such an existence was a threat to any country. The Eastern Xuan Continent was an era where four countries were established, and if the black market was interested in joining that country, then so be it.


    Then the four kingdoms would completely collapse.


    Therefore, the various empires'' emperors had once annihilated the black market with their combined forces. However, their three million strong army had mysteriously disappeared without leaving a single trace behind.


    This action caused fear in the four countries. Since then, the black market had become famous, and no one dared to cause trouble there anymore.


    At night, Jun Qiyan transformed into Yin Muji, appearing in the black market.


    The black market was extremely lively.


    "Ball, is there anything good in it?" Jun Qiyan looked around to see if there was anything suitable for her.


    As Jun Qiyan spoke to the ball, she walked forward with an excited expression on her face. This was the first time she had visited something similar to a market since she had come to the Eastern Xuan Continent.


    "Come take a look, come take a look, I can''t afford it here, I can''t afford to fall for it. Young master, it doesn''t matter if you buy it or not, look at my things first."


    A small peddler hurriedly called out to Jun Qiyan when he saw that she had left alone.


    Jun Qiyan raised his eyebrows when he saw the items in the peddler''s shop. He was brimming with interest.


    "This is the skin of an ancient beast known as the Octadic Snake. Young master, if it wasn''t for the fact that you are facing such a rich and powerful creature, I wouldn''t even want to tell you about it."


    The peddler patted his chest, looking very righteous.


    Within the Nuwa Stone, when Fu Cheng heard the words'' Baji Snake Skin '', he had already exploded. Looking at its appearance, he really wanted to go out and swallow the little peddler in one gulp!


    Jun Wu Yi''s hand was still on the snakeskin as he sized it up. He forced a smile on his face as he pretended to look at her face.


    "Oh? "Then how much does this piece of serpent skin cost?"


    Jun Qiyan asked with a smile.


    The peddler thought he had met another foolish rich master, so he was immediately overjoyed. He diligently introduced him, "As everyone knows, the Octadic Snake is an ancient vicious beast, and is one of the Twelve Demon Generals by the Devil God''s side."


    "If it wasn''t for the fact that the Octadic Snake was injured and in a deep slumber, I wouldn''t have had the luck to kill it. So, I''ll sell this snake skin for 100,000 purple coins."


    The peddler waved his hand with a heroic look.


    Jun Qiyan raised her eyebrows. This peddler really did dare to name a price. The snake skin in her hands was at most at the fifth or sixth rank. Although a fifth or sixth rank magical beast was rare, it was still not as expensive as a hundred thousand purple coins.


    "Pah! How dare a mere Rank 5 snake lie about an ancient beast, the Octadic Snake?"


    Just as Jun Qiyan was deep in thought, an aged voice suddenly sounded from the side.


    Jun Qiyan couldn''t help but tremble from head to toe. That sound was extremely hoarse, like the sound of a saw chopping wood.


    "The ancient vicious beast, the Octadic Snake, has long been killed by the humans. Where did it come from?"


    The old man continued to speak, but his words caused Jun Qiyan to be severely shocked.


    Although people had seen her contract with Bajie before, not many people knew about this.


    The people of the Colosseum would never allow anyone to leak news of this matter. After all, this was related to the Colosseum''s reputation.


    However, this old man dared to say it out loud so there were only two possibilities.


    Firstly, this old man''s true identity was extremely powerful, so powerful that even the Beast Battling Arena did not dare to shake him.


    Second, this old man was alone and a carefree rogue cultivator. It didn''t matter if he was chased down or not.


    In contrast, Jun Qiyan felt that the first possibility was more likely.


    "You old thing. Even if what I said is false, what you said cannot be true."


    The peddler was extremely dissatisfied that his lie had been exposed. If it wasn''t for the fact that fighting was prohibited on the black market, he would have taught this old man a lesson a long time ago!


    "Who doesn''t know how arrogant the demonic beasts are? How can they surrender to a puny human?! Contract? You old bastard, you must still be dreaming right?! "


    The peddler mocked in disdain.


    Jun Qiyan put down the snake skin in his hand and walked up to the old man''s stall with interest.


    He saw the old man lying on the ground with his head on his hands.


    That old man''s appearance made most people not dare to praise him. He was dressed in tattered clothes with countless patches on his clothes. His hair was messy like a bird''s nest.


    The corner of Jun Qiyan''s mouth twitched. If this wasn''t a black market, if this old man hadn''t said what he had just said, she might have even regarded him as the most ordinary of beggars.


    "Mother, mother!" The ball exploded in Jun Qiyan''s mind.


    "The things here are all good stuff, especially that piece of rock." The ball excitedly said, "That rock can help you break through the base level in one fell swoop."


    When Jun Qiyan heard this, he couldn''t help but feel somewhat shocked in his heart. In his heart, he began to suspect the identity of the other party.


    However, he was a bit embarrassed. The temperament of the item was extremely similar to his master''s. A few old books, a few dried up herbs, and a plain looking stone.


    "Geezer, how much are you selling these things?"


    Jun Qiyan looked at the items on the old man''s stall and asked again.


    The old man curled his lips and yelled with some dissatisfaction, "What old man? He''s no small fry, call me grandpa."


    Blue veins appeared on Jun Qianyan''s forehead as she patiently said, "Grandfather, how are we going to sell these things? I want them all."


    After Jun Qiyan finished speaking, he looked at the old man in front of him once more.


    The old man lazily said, "The things I have here are not for sale. You can trade for them."


    Perhaps it was because of what happened just now that the peddler at the side said in a weird tone, "It''s just a pile of trash. It''s already good that someone wants it."


    Jun Qianyan wasn''t affected by the peddler at the side. She thought deeply for a moment, then took out three grade three Spirit Gathering Pills from her storage ring, and passed it to the old man in front of her.


    "Is that okay?"


    The moment Jun Qiyan took out the pill, the strong smell of the pill wafted through the air. The peddler at the side stammered, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.


    "This, this is a grade-3 pill?!" The peddler was flabbergasted as he stared at the pill in Jun Qianyan''s hand.


    When the old man saw the pill in Jun Qiyan''s hand, he couldn''t help but feel somewhat surprised.


    "Alright." The old man pondered for a moment before reluctantly handing the item over.


    A smile appeared on Jun Qiyan''s face. Her brother was an alchemist, and she was an alchemist herself. Naturally, she didn''t have any feelings for pills.


    However, the peddler on the side was dumbfounded by what he saw. It was obvious that he hadn''t recovered from the scene just now.


    One had to know that in the market, grade three medicinal pills were priceless and were only for the royal family to use.


    And earlier, that kid actually used three grade three medicinal pills to exchange for a pile of trash ¡­


    Was he crazy, or was this world just a fantasy?!

 C54

    He had originally wanted to buy a suitable pill furnace, but he had never imagined that he would be able to buy such a treasure.


    He didn''t know if he should call himself lucky or unlucky.


    "How should I use this thing?" Jun Qiyan looked at the stones on the table and could not help but have a headache.


    The ball stood on Jun Qiyan''s shoulder, at the same time looking at the stone on the table with a frown.


    "Where did you get this?" An evil voice rang beside Jun Qiyan''s ears.


    Jun Qiyan''s body abruptly trembled, then he stiffly raised his head. The person in front of him was none other than Di Mo Jiu.


    Jun Qiyan pursed her lips. This was the first time the two of them had met since the last kiss.


    Jun Qianyan could not help but feel a bit awkward as she spoke with some uneasiness ¡­


    "I, I bought it in the black market."


    Di Mo Jiu didn''t seem to feel the awkwardness of Jun Qianyan as he continued, "This is the lowest grade of spirit stones. The spirit stones are filled with a rich amount of spiritual energy which can help the cultivator improve."


    "However, they are extremely rare in the Eastern Xuan Continent and only a few appear in the mines. However, in the God Realm, they are considered a currency."


    Di Mo Jiu said indifferently.


    With just a few simple sentences, the difference between the God Realm and the Profound East Continent was made clear.


    As Jun Qianyan listened to Di Mo Jiu''s deep voice, he gradually forgot about the matter of the strong kiss from a few days ago.


    The discomfort began to fade from his mind.


    "Then how should this thing be used? I don''t feel any spiritual energy from it? "


    Jun Qiyan couldn''t help but ask with some doubt.


    The corners of Di Mo Jiu''s lips curved upwards, "The method of using it is quite simple. The spirit spring water within the Nuwa Stone can help the spirit stone to recover its power."


    Upon hearing these words, Jun Qianyan hurriedly placed the spirit stone within the Nuwa Stone''s spirit pond.


    Sure enough, in less than a moment, it was originally just an ordinary stone.


    In the next instant, it became filled with spirit energy.


    "What did you go to the black market for today?" Di Mo asked casually.


    "Nothing much, I just want to find a suitable pill furnace."


    As he spoke of Danding Jun Qiyan, he could not help but have a headache.


    "Crucible?" Di Mo Jiu pondered for a while, then took out a four horned cauldron that looked lifeless and lifeless from his own Cosmic Bag.


    "This is the Great Desolation Cauldron. Take it and see if it''s suitable."


    Di Mo Jiu then handed the pill furnace in his hand over to Jun Lange.


    Jun Qianyan frowned slightly. Since it was something given by Di Mo Jiu, then it must be something extraordinary. However, he had no reason to take it away from him ¡­


    When Di Mo Jiu saw Jun Qiyan''s hesitant look, a dark light flashed across his eyes.


    "This is the Great Desolate Cauldron, one of the ancient divine artifacts. If you want to tame it, you have to be able to." Di Mo Jiu said slowly.


    "Otherwise, it would just be a piece of scrap metal. It would be useless."


    When Jun Qianyan heard this, her wrinkled brow loosened a bit. She took the pill furnace from Di Mo Jiu and began to play with it.


    Jun Qiyan bit her finger, and a drop of bright blood dripped onto the icy surface of the Primordial Cauldron, before blossoming into a devilish blood-red flower.


    Immediately after, Jun Qiyan felt a wave of dizziness and fainted on the ground.


    When Jun Qiyan woke up, his surroundings were completely empty; it seemed as if his head was about to explode.


    "She really isn''t a simple girl." An elderly voice echoed in the air.


    Jun Qiyan looked around nervously, but did not see any human body.


    "If one wants to forge pills, the most important thing is to remain calm and not be impatient. If you can face your biggest inner demon. You are qualified to be my master. "


    Jun Qiyan opened her eyes wide as she slowly said this with an ancient voice.


    His biggest inner demon ¡­


    In Jun Qiyan''s mind, the scene of when he was five years old and his parents lying down in front of him flashed across his mind.


    The little girl was crying helplessly on the side.


    Jun Qiyan only felt a flash of white light in his head, and when he woke up again, all that was left was a plethora of miserable shrieks.


    "Wuu ¡­" Mother. "


    A weak voice was heard amidst the raging flames.


    Jun Qiyan looked at everything in front of him in shock.


    She ¡­


    She crossed over again?!


    Everything that was happening in front of him was exactly the same scene as when he had been five years old and his entire clan had been exterminated.


    Countless fear and anger surrounded Jun Qianyan. She trembled as she looked at her petite and bloody hands.


    Jun Qiyan''s eyes turned crimson as he jumped into the sea of fire. The flames engulfed the petite figure in an instant.


    Jun Qiyan ignored the scorching heat around her. She anxiously searched through the numerous corpses for the figure of her mother, but to no avail.


    Finally, in the center of the hall, there was a woman lying on the floor. Her messy hair covered her original appearance. Although there was only her back, Jun Qiyan still recognized that this was her mother.


    Jun Qiyan''s entire body was trembling. Step by step, she slowly walked towards that figure. Her face was covered with bloodstains, but even so, it couldn''t cover up her devastatingly beautiful face.


    "Mother ¡­" Jun Qiyan kneeled on the ground as she lost control of herself and roared.


    Why? Why was she still late?


    At this time, Jun Qiyan was like a soulless doll. Her originally colourful eyes had now become extremely empty.


    "You want to become stronger like this?" "He can''t even resist inner demons, and he still wants to cultivate to become an Immortal?!"


    A teasing voice echoed in the air, and the eyes of the people on the ground gradually gained a tinge of color.


    When Jun Qiyan came back to her senses, she looked at everything before her with a perplexed expression.


    Wrong...


    Jun Qiyan gradually came back to her senses. She had already died a long time ago, and everything before her eyes was nothing more than her own inner demons.


    As she thought of this, Jun Qiyan slowly stood up. The flames around her seemed to have become less intense in an instant.

 C55

    Jun Qiyan forced herself to her feet. If she couldn''t even face her own inner demons, then what qualifications did she have to stand at the highest position? Thinking of this, Jun Qiyan''s eyes began to clear up. She was now the eldest miss of the Eastern Tomb Kingdom''s monarch mansion.


    He still had his grandfather, elder brother, and those people who still loved him. If he were to fall down here, what right would he have to go back and face them? As she thought of this, Jun Qi''s gaze became firm, and the flames around her also vanished without a trace like a bubble.


    The previously empty area once again appeared before Jun Qianyan''s eyes, now completely different from before. Di Mo Jiu was standing in the middle of the room, looking at Jun Qianyan with a smile on his face.


    "You''re cheating for her."


    The Great Desolate Cauldron''s dissatisfied voice slowly sounded.


    Jun Qiyan lightly coughed, then looked away from Di Mo Jiu''s eyes.


    "Hmm? If she doesn''t have a firm will, then even if I remind her, it would be useless. "


    Di Mo Jiu said in a low voice, his smiling eyes looking at the person in front of him.


    Jun Qiyan lowered her head. Her previously fair cheeks were now suffused with a red glow.


    "Forget about you. Don''t expect me to have such good fortune with you."


    Hong Huang said helplessly as he sighed.


    After Jun Qiyan had made the contract with the Primordial Cauldron and completely absorbed all of the spirit energy from the spirit stones, he was able to break through to the next level without any suspense.


    After Jun Qiyan had completely subdued the Primordial Cauldron, an earth-shattering change suddenly occurred to one of the light-green stones within the Nuwa Stone.


    The light green stone suddenly emitted a dazzling light. After the light disappeared, the originally dull and dim stone seemed to have been meticulously polished.


    It became incomparably dazzling.


    Jun Qiyan blankly stared at the scene before her. She hadn''t even had the time to figure out what had happened when she felt her vision turn black.


    And then, he was forced to enter Nuwa.


    "This... "What exactly happened?!" Jun Qiyan''s mouth was slightly agape as an expression of disbelief appeared in his eyes.


    It was no wonder that Jun Qiyan was surprised. Originally, the Nuwa Stone had only contained a single mouth of spirit spring water, as well as some broken stones and trees.


    Nuwa was in the center, but this was a completely different scene.


    The Primordial Stone Cauldron stood in the middle of the room, and around it, there were countless shelves of medicine.


    The sand that was originally like sand on the ground also became more fertile, emitting a faint black luster.


    The ball, on the other hand, did not seem to care about the scene in front of it.


    "Mother, you have a total of five stones on your hands, and each stone has its own use. For example, this green stone."


    The ball pointed at the gem-like stone and explained, "Its function is to make the soil within the Nuwa Stone extremely fertile. No matter what kind of medicinal plant it is, as long as it is within the stone, it will be able to survive well."


    "Moreover, the medicinal strength of the pill can be doubled."


    When Jun Qiyan heard this, her pretty eyebrows slightly raised. Her slender fingers picked up the sand on the ground and brought it up to her nose. She gave it a light sniff.


    A faint wave of spiritual power instantly rushed towards his face.


    Jun Qiyan''s eyes could not help but light up. Some of the rare herbs were not only difficult to collect because of the dangerous environment, but also because they could not be preserved properly, causing the spirit within the herbs to disappear.


    Mother, every single stone of the Nuwa Stone has their own uses. Only, the divine power within them has been sealed by Lord Nuwa.


    The ball said slowly.


    When Jun Qiyan heard this, he could not help but ask, "What are the uses of the other stones?"


    The ball blinked and mysteriously said, "You can''t leak it out!"


    The capital city was bustling with noise and excitement. All the restaurants were packed with people. Even the teahouses that normally would not be visited were bustling with business ¡­


    "Sigh, have you heard? In this year''s Tynes Academy''s member selection competition, Jing Jubai, Feng Chenlang, Ye Changsheng, Gu Yao, and the others will all be participating."


    "Are you for real?!" "If those perverts go, will we still be able to survive ¡­"


    "That''s right. I heard that the abnormal guy, Jing Ji Bai, had already broken through to the base level. If we were to draw lots to fight him, wouldn''t we be instantly killed?"


    It had to be said that the teahouse was a good place to inquire about news.


    Jun Qianyan, who was originally drinking tea, paused for a moment. Most of the cultivators at her age were breathing heavily; wandering around the fifth and sixth levels was already considered a genius.


    It seemed that his biggest opponent this time was Beijing''s Ji Bai.


    The female host did not stay too long in the teahouse after obtaining the information she wanted.


    He turned around and went to the place that he and Feng Chen Lang had agreed on beforehand.


    "Hey, Mo Jiu, you''re finally here." Feng Chenlang patted Jun Qiyan''s shoulder as he spoke with a smile.


    At this moment, a sea of people had already gathered at the registration office of Tanis Academy.


    As one of the super powers of the East Tomb Continent, there was no one who didn''t wish to join Tanas Academy.


    The requirements to enter Tanas Academy was also extremely strict, but even so, many people still wanted to enter, unable to argue over their plans.


    "What did you say?" What right do you have to say that laozi is not qualified? "


    An uncle with a face full of anger slammed it on the table and glared at the honorary teacher in front of him.


    "I''m sorry, we have clear rules here. Only youths under the age of 18 are qualified to join Tanas Academy."


    The instructor raised his glasses and spoke with a straight face, as if he was already used to such things.


    The old man who was making trouble was clearly at a loss for words, but he still shouted, unconvinced:


    "I''m only 18 years old this year, could it be that it''s my fault that I''m old!"


    The uncle''s eyes drifted erratically as he spoke with a bit of a guilty conscience.


    "Hurry up, the people behind us are still registering." Many of the youths behind him began to urge him, their faces full of impatience.


    "Dad, Mom wants you to come home for dinner."


    Just as everyone was arguing, an eight to nine year old boy appeared in front of them, holding the hand of a two to three year old little loli.


    "Brat, didn''t I tell you before? Today you have to call me brother! "


    To expose his own son on the spot, this was an old uncle, and his face couldn''t help but redden for a moment.


    After saying so, he pulled his son away and left in a dejected manner.


    Feng Chen Lang, who was watching from the side, couldn''t help but laugh out loud. Such a scene was actually only seen in the registration office of Tanas Academy, and it wasn''t strange at all.


    After all, everyone wanted to join.


    Jun Qiyan and Feng Chenlang finally made it to the front row registration office with great difficulty.


    "Feng Chenlang, Yin Muju."


    Feng Chenlang told his name along with Jun Qiyan''s name to the instructor who was registering ahead of them.


    After the honorary teacher heard the two words'' Feng Chenlang '', he couldn''t help but take a second look at the young man in front of him.


    The brilliant youths of the Eastern Tomb Kingdom were the main targets for them to win over this time.


    "Sure, we''ll test it over later." The professor kindly reminded him.


    After obtaining his card number, Feng Chen Lang excitedly pulled the female lead towards the exam site.


    The first round of the assessment was meant to test whether or not the contestants were qualified to enter the next round.


    Only by reaching Qi Disciple level 4 before the age of 18 would one be able to enter Tanas Academy.


    "Chen Lang."


    While Jun Qi was still in a daze, a figure slowly walked in front of the two of them.


    When Feng Chen Lang saw the person that had arrived, his face was obviously filled with pleasant surprise.


    "Beijing, Ji Bai, you brat. I was just about to look for you, why did you only just come?"


    Feng Chenlang pushed the other party''s chest as he spoke with a face full of smiles.


    Even though Jing Ji Bai was not angry, he still had a faint smile on his face. "I came earlier than you guys, but I have some things to do just now, so I''ll be leaving first."


    When Jun Qiyan heard the name ''Ji Bai'', she couldn''t help but raise her head.


    The tall figure of the youth was hidden by the sunlight above Jun Qiyan''s head.


    "This is Mu Jiu, Yin Muji, my brother." Feng Chenlang frankly introduced.


    "This is my childhood friend, Jing Ji Bai. He is known as the Second Master of the Jing Clan."


    Feng Chen Lang pointed at Jing Ji Bai beside him, then paused and spoke in a voice that only Jun Qianyan and himself could hear.


    "Be careful when you get along with him in the future. Let me tell you, he''s a fox. Since young, I''ve been tricked by him who knows how many times."


    When Feng Chenlang said the last sentence, he was already gnashing his teeth in anger.


    Jun Qiyan chuckled involuntarily. It would be strange if someone of the second attribute like Feng Chenlang didn''t get scammed by the capital.


    As for himself ¡­


    Jun Qiyan smiled without saying a word.


    It was very easy to make friends with Feng Chenlang, but there weren''t many who could be called brothers. According to his knowledge, he only knew of those few people in their circle.


    Thinking of this, Ji Bai couldn''t help but glance at Jun Qiyan. The young boy in front of him looked to be about fourteen or fifteen years old, but he was even skinnier and skinnier than the average person.


    Jing and Ji Bai slightly frowned, but when they met each other''s clear eyes, his heart couldn''t help but tremble slightly.


    When Jun Qiyan saw that Ji Bai was looking at her, she was alarmed.


    He ¡­ He couldn''t have recognized his identity, right?


    Thinking of this, Jun Qiyan''s gaze sharpened.


    Sensing that Chen Lang was acting weirdly, Beijing''s Ji Bai quickly looked away. He pursed his lips into a smile and continued, "Since he''s Chen Lang''s friend, then he''s my friend."


    "You can call me Second Master of the Jing Clan, or Ji Bai."


    Beijing''s Ji Bai stretched out his hand and said.


    Jun Qiyan took a glance at the man''s slender white fingers, hesitated for a moment, and decided to cover them up in the end.


    "Second Master of the Capital, I''ve heard a lot about you."


    Jun Qiyan lightly said. He was not the least bit surprised by the other party''s identity. That calmness caused Ji Bai to look at him a few more times.


    The three of them chatted smilingly on the side. Rather than calling it a conversation, it would be more accurate to say that Feng Chen Lang was talking to himself.


    Jun Qiyan and Jing Bai merely gave a brief reply.


    Time passed very quickly, and in just an incense''s time, it was already the turn of Beijing''s Ji Bai.


    "Number 453, Jing and Ji Bai." A teacher shouted from the stage, his voice mixed with spiritual energy.


    When everyone heard the three words'' Jing and Ji Bai, ''they all made way for him.


    Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Beijing''s Ji Bai slowly walked to the platform.


    Under the gazes of over a thousand young men and women, Beijing''s Ji Bai slowly poured his spiritual power into the testing stone.

 C56

    Jing and Ji Bai stretched out their hands, placing their palms completely on top of the Spirit Stone. A stream of golden and crimson spiritual energy was poured into the Spirit Stone.


    Everyone held their breath as they looked at the scene before them. Although the fact that Ji Bai was a light and fire attributed cultivator and this matter was no longer a secret, everyone was still sighing at his great talent.


    Jun Qiyan was also taken aback. Apart from the four elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, cultivators also had light and dark attributes. However, these two attributes were extremely rare.


    It was even less likely than the birth of an alchemist.


    This caused a huge commotion in the East Xuan Continent after Ji Bai found out that it was a light attributed cultivator.


    Next was the test of one''s spiritual roots and one''s own strength.


    This was also what everyone was concerned about the most. The Beijing family had never revealed Ji Bai''s talent for spiritual roots. Many of them were regretting it in their hearts.


    A beam of purple light shot out from the testing stone. On the tall stone, the words "Foundation Establishment level 2" appeared.


    Soon after, Beijing''s Ji Bai''s spiritual root talent appeared on the Spirit Stone bestowment board at the side.


    Violet Spirit Root.


    The air was silent for three seconds, and then there was a wave of whispers. Everyone was unsettled.


    Violet Spirit Root!


    This was a purple spirit root that was hard to come by in a hundred years!


    Furthermore, Jing and Ji Bai seemed to only be 17 years old right?


    He had already broken through the solid base at the age of 17! Everyone felt that the whole world was in a fantasy, was he even human?


    When the teachers at the side saw this scene, their hearts burst with joy. They had finally picked up a treasure this time!


    No matter what, he had to bring this peerless genius under his tutelage!


    The following tests were much calmer. The ones with the highest talent and the strongest strength were only those with green spirit roots or at Qi Disciple level 7.


    Not long after, it was the test of Jun Qiyan and Feng Chenlang.


    "Number 816, Feng Chenlang."


    Feng Chenlang slowly walked up to test for spirit stones, and soon, the results were out.


    "Green Spirit Root, Peak of Qi Disciple level 9."


    The instructor glanced at the stone and his face revealed a satisfied expression.


    Feng Chenlang looked as if he didn''t care about it at all. He walked down the stage with a smile. The envious gazes of the people below the stage suddenly became inflated.


    Behind Feng Chenlang was Jun Qiyan. Under the attentive gazes of the crowd, Jun Qiyan walked calmly onto the stage.


    She took a deep breath. She didn''t intend to reveal her true strength, but instead compressed her spirit energy to the seventh level of Qi Refining.


    Jun Qiyan wasn''t stupid enough to reveal his trump card the moment he appeared.


    In order to confirm the accuracy of the test, he had used a much larger number of Spirit Stones than the one Di Mo Jiu had given Jun Qiyan.


    Jun Qianyan would often pour his own spirit energy into the testing stone, and as expected, the stone pillars began to show Jun Qianyan''s true strength and talent.


    A Qi Disciple level 7 cultivator with fire attribute spiritual roots.


    It was just a few simple words that summed up the talent and strength of the female lead.


    Satisfied and surprised expressions appeared on many of the teachers'' faces. This year''s batch of students was truly filled with talents.


    Jun Qianyan held her breath as she looked at the Spirit Stone with a complicated expression on her face. She hadn''t forgotten the result of Di Mo Jiu giving her the Spirit Stone last time ¡­


    What if the stone also exploded? Thinking of this, Jun Qianyan couldn''t help but mutter to herself.


    This stone belonged to Tanas Academy. If he accidentally blew it up, wouldn''t he have to compensate?


    Thinking of this, Jun Qiyan grew even more agitated.


    The instructor standing at the side did not know that Jun Qiyan was actually thinking this way. All he could do was to look at the talented youngster in front of him, and stand motionlessly at his original position.


    Thinking that there were still a few hundred people queuing up behind, the instructor could not help but urge, "Hurry up and put your hands on it."


    Jun Qiyan listened to his teacher''s somewhat impatient voice before carefully placing his white fingers on the stone.


    On the tall stone pillar, a faint red color gradually changed to orange, and eventually froze on the yellow surface.


    The instructor frowned as he looked at the scene before him. He then waved his hand, indicating for Jun Qiyan to continue.


    Yellow Spirit Root...


    If it were anyone else, the Yellow Spirit Root would have been considered quite good, but if it was an alchemist, it would be inferior.


    Even if he had Yellow Spirit Roots, he would probably only be able to nurture a Grade One Alchemist.


    On the other hand, Jun Qianyan didn''t really care. As long as she didn''t explode and didn''t pay up, everything would be fine.


    Just as Jun Qiyan was about to get out of the carriage, the stone pillar that was originally suffused with a pale yellow light suddenly turned a faint purple color without any warning.


    "Old Li, Old Li!" Am I seeing things? Wasn''t it originally yellow?! "


    The instructor rubbed his eyes, unable to believe the sudden change in front of him.


    The other teacher called Old Li turned around and looked at the stone pillar behind him. His mouth was slightly open, and he also looked quite frightened.


    He had been a teacher for more than ten years, but he had never encountered such a situation!


    The people in the underground area were also extremely agitated.


    "Holy shit!" What did I just see? Can this thing even change its color!? "


    "The main point is that this is the Purple Spirit Root!"


    "This is the first time I''ve seen this! Hadn''t that brat already let go of his hand? Why would the color change! "


    "Shouldn''t the main point be that this is another Purple Spirit Root!"


    Everyone felt as if they were thrown into a mess by the wind.


    At this time, Jun Qiyan also did not understand what was going on, and the Octavo Snake very kindly solved the doubts in her heart for Jun Qiyan.


    "Because you purposely condensed your Spiritual Energy earlier, causing the Spirit Stone to not be able to accurately identify your own talent at the start."


    "After that, because the compressed spirit energy had expanded too much, it had no choice but to release it, which resulted in the earlier phenomenon.


    The corners of Jun Qiyan''s mouth twitched but he did not say anything.


    This couldn''t be blamed on the teachers being too surprised. After all, those who came to take the test all wanted to join Tanas Academy. If they could get accepted, of course they wanted their own talent and strength to be as high as possible.


    No weirdo would be like Jun Qiyan, detesting the fact that their strength was too strong.


    It took several minutes for the teachers to accept the fact that Jun Qiyan was actually a Violet Spirit Root.


    This year''s contestant actually produced two Purple Spirit Pills. This was simply an unprecedented event.


    Everyone was astonished and couldn''t help but pray that they wouldn''t run into two monsters in the competition.

 C57

    "Mo Jiu, you brat, you''re a pervert!"


    Feng Chen Lang, who was at the side, lost all rationality as he pulled Jun Yunyan along and started to wildly shake her.


    The corners of Jun Qiyan''s mouth twitched.


    "Good talent." Beijing''s Ji Bai looked at Jun Qiyan and said thoughtfully.


    The first time he saw this boy, he felt that there was something strange about him, and now it seemed that he was even more strange than he thought.


    In the East Peak Mainland, there was no family with the surname Yin, and this young man had a Violet Spirit Root. It was impossible for such a high talent to be unknown for so many years.


    The light in Jing and Ji Bai''s eyes deepened as they looked at the boy in front of them.


    "How is this not bad? This is simply defying the heavens'' will!" Feng Chen Lang who was at the side could not help but shout out.


    There was no doubt that Jun Qiyan, Jing and Ji Bai had all passed the first selection.


    Out of the nearly thousand participants, only about 400 had passed.


    And this was just the first choice.


    The second round of the tournament was tomorrow. Only by passing the second round would it be possible for him to join Tanas Academy.


    Jun Qiyan returned to the Jun residence and went to Jun Xuanfeng''s room. Since he had already decided to go to Tanas Academy, he would definitely leave the mansion for a period of time.


    "Grandfather."


    Jun Qianyan looked at the back of Jun Xuanfeng''s aged figure with a bitter look in his eyes. Even though his heart was filled with reluctance several times, he couldn''t do anything about it.


    In this world where the strong preyed on the weak, he had to become strong in order not to be bullied by others!


    After Jun Xuanfeng heard Jun Qianyan''s voice, he turned around.


    "Dye, it''s so late. Why are you here?"


    Jun Xuanfeng asked with a bit of surprise as he looked at Jun Qianyan, who was standing at the door.


    Jun Qianyan slowly walked to Jun Xuanfeng''s side and said, "Grandfather, I, I might be out for a few days."


    Jun Xuanfeng was stunned when he heard Jun Qianyan''s words.


    "Dye, where are you going?!"


    Jun Qianyan looked at Jun Xuanfeng''s caring and loving eyes as he helplessly shared his thoughts and what had happened today with him.


    "Dye, you want to go to Tynes Academy?"


    Jun Xuanfeng was stunned at first, then fiercely rejected his, "No!"


    Jun Qiyan bit her lips. She had not expected that her grandfather, who had always doted on her, would actually reject her on this matter.


    "Grandfather, I''m no longer a child now. I can''t live forever under your wing." Jun Qiyan pursed his lips, his eyes filled with shadow.


    Jun Xuanfeng''s heart trembled, his throat tightened, and he lowered his head without saying a word.


    Although he knew ¡­


    Jun Xuanfeng looked at the resolute expression on Jun Qianyan''s face but didn''t say anything in the end. He sighed and kept saying, "What a sin."


    Jun Qiyan did not catch what the other had said.


    She only anxiously looked at Jun Xuanfeng.


    "Forget it. How long will it take for you to get out this time?"


    Jun Qiyan thought for a moment and said, "It might take half a year."


    Jun Xuanfeng nodded. His eyes were deep and serene. Under his snow-white beard, his dark red lips parted slightly, and a myriad of words could be heard. Finally, it turned into a sigh.


    At the moment, Jun Xuanfeng didn''t know that his decision today had brought about a tremendous change to the Jun Family half a year later.


    It was already midnight by the time Jun Qiyan left Jun Xuanfeng''s room.


    Thinking that there would be a competition the next day, Jun Qiyan decided to go to the black market to buy some things that could be used the next day.


    In the black market, Jun Qiyan was wearing a long black robe and a mask.


    Jun Qiyan stopped in front of a small stall, picked up a stalk of medicinal herb, and asked, "Boss, how much is this for?"


    The boss didn''t seem to have heard his words. Jun Qiyan waited for more than ten seconds, stunned by the lack of a reply.


    He looked up and saw the old man sleeping soundly with his head down.


    The corner of Jun Qiyan''s mouth twitched. Just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by someone.


    "Hey hey hey, boy, don''t go. I have everything I need to write here."


    He didn''t know when the old man had woken up, but when he saw that Jun Qiyan was about to leave, he hurriedly pulled her away.


    "As the saying goes, good! "You''ve been to my shop twice in your life. Kid, if you want anything, just say so. I''ll give you a 10% discount!"


    The old man waved his hand and spoke in an extremely heroic manner.


    Jun Qiyan''s body stiffened. Her pupils constricted and her heart couldn''t help but tremble a few times.


    She had only been to the black market once and had only bought things once. Moreover, her dress this time was obviously very different from last time. How did the other party recognize her?


    There were a lot of questions in her heart, but she didn''t ask them in order not to alert the others. She was just a little worried.


    The next day.


    Outside the Howling Forest, more than four hundred students and over a hundred instructors stood together, looking extremely magnificent.


    Most of the people present began to talk to the people around them, wanting to form a good relationship so that they could get help later.


    Jun Qiyan was expressionlessly standing on the spot, exuding an aura that prevented others from entering. It was so much so that none of the youths and young girls rushed up to him to converse with him.


    "This is the person you insisted on bringing us to find?"


    Gu Yao frowned as he looked at the person in front of him.


    Jun Qiyan looked at Yao with an expressionless face.


    Along with Gu Yao were Jing Ji Bai and Feng Chenlang from yesterday, as well as Ye Changsheng, whose face was still pale but still had a smile on his lips.


    Feng Chenlang nodded and hurriedly introduced him, "Don''t you see that Brother Mu Jiu is still young. He''s an alchemist and has purple spiritual roots."


    Feng Chenlang raised his head with an incomparably prideful look on his face.


    When Feng Chen Lang''s words came out, Gu Yao''s original words were forcibly stuck in his throat.


    Even the expression of Ye Changsheng, who had been unperturbed the entire time, couldn''t help but change somewhat.


    The incident of the two Purple Spirit Roots appearing in the capital city yesterday had spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital.


    They had known that Jing and Ji Bai had Violet Spirit Roots all along, but the other person who possessed it was not the inconspicuous young man in front of them.


    "Him? "He has the legendary Purple Spirit Root?!"


    Due to her excessive surprise, Gu Yao''s voice couldn''t help but start trembling.


    "Yes, this little brother here has the Purple Spirit Root. I remember that you have Green Spirit Root, right?"


    Jing Ji Bai paused for a second, then couldn''t help but mock Ye Zichen.


    Gu Yao''s spiritual root talent had always been his pain. Every time he raised his breath, his hair would stand on end.


    After being stepped on to the ground by Ji Bai, Gu Yao''s expression darkened.


    "Jing, Ji, Bai!" If you speak less, will you die?! "


    Gu Yao gritted his teeth as he spoke.

 C58

    In the Howling Forest, the originally noisy surroundings instantly became quiet.


    It was unknown when a man wearing a black robe was standing in the middle of the instructor''s seat. He was expressionlessly looking at the young man from a noble family in front of him.


    The man looked to be in his early twenties. No matter if it was his appearance or aura, he was incomparable to an ordinary person.


    His sword-like brows were like an eagle soaring in the sky. His eyes seemed to be filled with righteousness, his high nose bridge, his thick lips, and the imposing aura coming from his body.


    The first impression he gave was that he was a young man with a moral conscience.


    Feng Chen Lang looked at the person in front of him with starlight shining from his eyes.


    "This is one of the most famous professors in Tanasha Academy, Professor Hydt!" Feng Chen Lang lowered his voice and spoke to Jun Qiyan with an excited expression.


    Jun Qiyan''s eyes narrowed as her expression turned indifferent.


    "Hydt is my idol! Furthermore, he had already broken through to the third level of the Foundation Establishment stage when he was 18 years old. His results could be said to be shocking. That was something that no one had ever done before.


    Feng Chen Lang''s last sentence was spoken in a lowered voice, causing Jun Qiyan to not be able to clearly hear him.


    However, before his voice fell, Feng Chen Lang felt a piercing gaze land on his body.


    Feng Chenlang''s body froze. He swallowed his saliva and looked in the direction of that gaze.


    He saw the man in black robes standing in front of him, staring at him with a cold gaze. There were signs of anger on his face.


    Feng Chen Lang instantly felt his heart skip a beat. What should he do?! Would he be hated by the male god, would he be thrown out just like that?!


    What if the male god, who had been admired for a long time, despised him? Online, urgent! #


    Hydt saw that the other party had noticed him and retracted his gaze.


    "What status did you have before you came here? I don''t care how much talent you guys have. Just listen to me."


    Hydt''s majestic voice resounded in the surroundings, causing everyone''s heart to tremble uncontrollably.


    "The rest of the exam is in the Howling Forest. The five of you will get points for hunting the corresponding magical beasts. The top 20 teams that get the most points will get accepted, and the magical beasts you kill will also get points."


    Hydt''s voice was loud and fierce.


    Jun Qiyan suddenly frowned. Wouldn''t he be implicated to death if he was matched to a pig teammate?


    Everyone was extremely dissatisfied, and one of them immediately retorted.


    Hydt seemed to have expected this outcome. He continued to speak slowly, "If a person''s performance is outstanding, they can be accepted as an exception."


    As soon as Hydt''s words fell, everyone became even more agitated. Didn''t this mean that even the members of their own team would not be trusted?


    When Jun Qianyan heard this, he couldn''t help but sigh in his heart. This way, he could completely guarantee that the top hundred would all be people with great talents and be the strongest hundred.


    "The method chosen by their members is by drawing lots."


    As for the issue of safety, the instructors will issue the teleportation orders for you in a while and the hundred or so instructors will protect you in the dark. As long as you shatter this jade tablet, you can be successfully teleported back.


    "Everyone, you may begin the drawing of lots."


    Hydt said coldly.


    The people below came one after another to draw lots. Before long, it was Jun Qiyan''s turn.


    Thirty-four.


    Jun Qixian searched more than 400 people for the same number as himself.


    "Mo Jiu, what number are you?" Feng Chenlang couldn''t help but ask.


    Jun Qiyan shrugged his shoulders as he showed the number in his hand to the other party.


    "Thirty-four?!" Feng Chen Lang couldn''t help but exclaim in shock as he gave the number in his hand to Jun Qiyan.


    Jun Qianyan looked at the two numbers in front of him in astonishment. He had not expected that he would actually be assigned to the same group as Feng Chen Lang.


    "You two form a team?"


    Ye Changsheng walked up to Jun Qianyan and Feng Chenlang and asked somewhat curiously.


    "That''s right, the two of us are thirty-four, but how many are you?" Feng Chenlang said with a smile.


    After a moment of silence, Ye Changsheng replied, "Mine too."


    After being leased over, before Feng Chenlang could ask, he had already spoken. "The two of us are thirty-four just like you."


    "Hahahahahahahaha!" This is simply heaven''s will! "


    Gu Yao couldn''t help but laugh as he looked at the serial number in the hands of Jing Jubai and the rest of them.


    He actually put all five of them together! Wasn''t this a one-sided massacre!


    Jun Qiyan raised his eyebrows. If he hadn''t personally drawn the lots, he really would have thought that someone would have placed them together. One must know that these people were the strongest five people present.


    Feng Chenlang was even more surprised as he looked at Ji Bai. Since a young age, as long as this kid was here, he had never lost before.


    Back then, he had once been young and ignorant, and had wanted to challenge this kid. In the end, he had been completely abused and sent back to the Feng Clan ¡­


    Thinking about his tearful memories of the past and the current situation, Feng Chenlang ignored his image and said while patting Ji Bai on the shoulder:


    "Young master, I''ll be relying on you to protect me after I go in!"


    Jun Qiyan: "¡­"


    Gu Yao: "¡­"


    Ye Changsheng: "¡­"


    What kind of demon was this?


    The blue veins on his forehead were popping as he looked at his shoulder, asking for a caress.


    Jing and Ji Bai lifted him up with one hand, and with lightning speed, threw Feng Chen Lang against the wall.


    Everyone couldn''t help but pinch a certain someone who was courting death. After a cloud of dust flew by, Feng Chen Lang half-clutched his chest, and with an injured appearance, he said in a wronged manner:


    "You really don''t love me anymore."


    Facing Feng Chen Lang and that sudden blow of his, other than wanting to get him out, Jing Ji Bai had no other thoughts.


    Even Jun Qianyan couldn''t help but hold her forehead as she looked at this man who had lost his moral integrity. How could she recognize such a retard?!

 C59

    More than four hundred members of the Howling Forest began their month''s journey.


    No one came to the Howling Forest after Jun Qiyan, so Gu Yao was the first to suggest that they split up and move out.


    "No."


    Jun Qiyan was the first to reject him as he realized that he had not thought of it at all.


    When Gu Yao saw that Jun Qianyan didn''t give him any face at all, his face darkened. He mockingly said, "You''re not afraid, are you?"


    Jun Qiyan ignored Gu Yao and only spoke to the people around him, Feng Chen, Lang Lang, Ye Changsheng, Jing Bai, and the others.


    "Although our strength is one of the best among this year''s practitioners, we will inevitably encounter some accidents in the future. With five of us together, we will be safer."


    At the side, Beijing''s Ji Bai nodded in agreement.


    When Gu Yao saw that even Ji Bai had changed to this unknown brat, he was instantly angered. His words began to mock him, "Pfft, you speak so nicely, are you afraid?"


    Jun Qiyan didn''t even spare a glance for Gu Yao, as if the other party was just a lump of air.


    "You!" Gu Yao saw that the other party was completely ignoring him. He coldly snorted, but in his heart, he felt a little more resentment.


    "No matter what, this place is inside the Howling Howling Forest. Although we have a mentor and a transfer order, if we were to run into any high level magical beasts, it would bring us a lot of trouble."


    To the side, Ye Changsheng, who had been silent all this time, saw that the atmosphere had become somewhat strange. He sighed and began to act as a peacemaker elder.


    When Gu Yao saw that Ye Changsheng had spoken, he no longer said anything.


    For the entire day, no one came across any magical beasts or any members of the other squads. In the evening, the sun gradually set.


    Jun Qiyan narrowed her eyes at the crowd. "It''s getting late. Let''s find a place to rest."


    Beijing, Ji Bai, and the others had no objections.


    They found a cave and some firewood. Ready to rest.


    "Wait, who''s on guard tonight?" Gu Yao looked at the youth that was a full head shorter than him. The meaning in his words couldn''t be too obvious.


    Today was their first night in the Howling Forest, and because they were looking for a cave and a match, they were all exhausted. If they didn''t sleep at night, they might not be able to hold out for the next day.


    "Allow me."


    Feng Chenlang frowned as he looked at Gu Yao with a puzzled expression.


    Although Gu Yao was usually a bit arrogant, he never bullied and bullied others. However, his performance today was obviously aimed at Jun Yunyan.


    Gu Yao saw Feng Chenlang volunteer himself, so he didn''t say anything. However, in his heart, he was growing more and more unsatisfied with Jun Qiyan.


    In Gu Yao''s heart, Jun Qianyan was a poor commoner of the first step, and they were high and mighty young masters of an aristocratic family. Yet this poor commoner dared to defy him again and again. This was simply intolerable!


    Jun Qianyan looked deeply into Gu Yao''s eyes, then patted Feng Chenlang''s shoulder and said to the four people beside him:


    "Tonight, we will replace them once every two hours. This way, we can have a good rest."


    Jun Qiyan''s suggestion caused everyone''s eyes to light up.


    Feng Chen Lang smilingly patted Jun Qiyan''s shoulder, and said, "Mo Jiu, you still have a way!"


    It was now more than half a year since she had transmigrated to the Eastern Xuan Continent. Everything that she had done now seemed so unreal, as if she was in a dream.


    An hour later, Jun Qianyan quietly stood up, wanting to go outside to get some fresh air.


    According to the time taken, Feng Chen Lang should be on duty this hour. Thinking of Feng Chen Lang''s carefree attitude, the corners of Jun Feiyan''s mouth twitched as she prepared to go up and take a look.


    Just as Jun Qianyan reached the cave entrance, he saw two figures at the entrance. He couldn''t help but be startled. How could it be two people? Wasn''t there supposed to be only Feng Chen Lang ahead of time?


    As she thought of this, Jun Qiyan couldn''t help but furrow her brows. She quietly stepped forwards, wanting to see just what would happen.


    Only after entering did Jun Qiyan let out a sigh of relief. The other person was none other than Ye Changsheng.


    "Why are you here?" Jun Qiyan curiously asked.


    Ye Changsheng blinked, clearly wanting to ask Jun Qianyan this question as well.


    "I can''t sleep, so I came out to get some fresh air."


    Ye Changsheng casually replied.


    Jun Qiyan shrugged her shoulders and turned to look at Feng Chen Lang, who was sleeping soundly.


    The corner of Jun Qianyan''s mouth twitched as a trace of helplessness flashed across her face. She had actually believed that this fellow would guard the night ¡­


    By the side, Ye Changsheng noticed Jun Qianyan''s gaze and couldn''t help but laugh. He began to explain to Feng Chenlang, "Chenlang has such a temper, don''t take it to heart."


    The corners of Jun Qiyan''s mouth twitched but he did not say anything.


    The three of them sat side by side, Jun Qiyan looking up at the moon. Today was the fifteenth day of the year, and the moon hanging in the sky was exceptionally dazzling.


    The last time when Di Mo Jiu absorbed the power inside the Black Demon Crystal, his strength seemed to have recovered a lot. He no longer needed to drink the blood of his heart every month.


    "You, are actually a girl?"


    Jun Qiyan, whose mind had been wandering, was caught off guard when he heard Ye Changsheng''s words.


    Her spirit was lifted, and her gentle eyes became sharp in an instant. There was even a little bit of killing intent in her eyes.


    Facing Jun Qiyan''s nervousness, Ye Changsheng only pursed his lips slightly, his warm eyes gazing off into the distance.


    Don''t worry, I mean no harm.


    Ye Changsheng softly said.


    However, Jun Qianyan still did not relax. She pursed her lips and coldly asked, "How did you find out?!"


    After a moment of silence, Ye Changsheng said:


    "Ever since I was born, I have been extremely sensitive to playthings in the world. I can even feel the emotions of flowers, plants, and trees, as well as the ability to communicate with animals. Thus, it is still very simple for me to distinguish a person''s gender."


    Jun Qianyan didn''t completely believe the other party''s words; in her eyes, vigilance could still be seen.


    "I have the ability that ordinary people do not have, and the price that I pay is the health of my body."


    "I was born extremely weak and have a heart attack. I can''t run like normal people and can''t walk under the sun. Sometimes, some seemingly harmless pollen will cause me to lose my life."


    Ye Changsheng calmly said, as if all of this was experienced by someone else and had nothing to do with him.


    "My mother named me ''Longevity'' precisely because she hoped that I would be able to live forever."


    For some reason, Jun Qianyan only felt her heart slightly tremble as she looked at the youth in front of her who was about to fall down like the wind. She could not help but feel some heartache for him.


    "Don''t think that I can accept you just because you''re telling me this."


    Jun Qiyan looked away, not looking at the other.


    He hesitated for a moment, but still slowly said, "Actually, Gu Yao doesn''t have any bad intentions, he didn''t intend on targeting you."


    Ye Changsheng looked at Jun Qianyan and seriously said.

 C60

    Jun Qiyan started, obviously not expecting the other party to say such a thing to her.


    Seeing Ye Changsheng''s serious expression, Jun Qiyan couldn''t help but giggle.


    She waved her hand and said, "How could I possibly care about that stinking and arrogant kid? As for the fact that he was targeting me, I didn''t even put it in my heart, okay? So many people who don''t like me go to the capital and count themselves as a father? "


    Jun Qiyan said with some disdain.


    On the other hand, Ye Changsheng cleverly grabbed the key word, "Little brat."


    He looked at the person in front of him with a meaningful gaze. "Little brat?"


    The smile on Jun Qianyan''s face froze. She had chatted too much with this guy in front of her and had even forgotten that she was only fourteen years old.


    In his previous life, he was 24 years old. In addition, in this life, he was 14 years old. 38 years old could be considered a middle-aged aunt.


    However, he could never tell Ye Changsheng about all of this.


    "If I''m not wrong, you should only be 14 or 15 years old this year."


    Ye Changsheng intentionally drew out his voice and asked with some curiosity.


    Jun Qiyan randomly made up a reason and tried to cover it up.


    Although Ye Changsheng felt that something was wrong, it was not good to continue asking. The two once more fell into silence.


    Not long after, Feng Chen, who was sleeping soundly, stretched, yawned a long time, and slowly woke up.


    "Hey, why are you two here?"


    Feng Chenlang curiously looked at the two in front of him and couldn''t help but ask.


    Jun Qi''s eyes rolled back as she bluntly slapped his head. "If the two of us weren''t here, we wouldn''t even know if we were eaten by a wolf!"


    Feng Chenlang knew that he was in the wrong. He scratched his head in embarrassment and said apologetically: "I-I''m just too sleepy. I promise that I will never do it again!"


    Feng Chenlang said solemnly.


    Ye Changsheng and Jun Qianyan did not want to fall for his tricks.


    "If your promise works, then the sun will rise from the west."


    Ye Changsheng did not hesitate to add fuel to the fire.


    "Alright, alright. Both of you go back and rest quickly. The sky is about to brighten. I haven''t slept for the entire night. Come back and keep vigil!"


    Feng Chen Lang hurriedly raised his hands in surrender.


    Jun Qiyan looked at the sky, which was starting to turn white. A faint sense of tiredness assaulted her mind, and she could only nod and return to the cave to rest.


    The next day, Jun Qiyan woke up the last. This was the best night she had slept since she had transmigrated to the Eastern Profound Continent.


    Gu Yao gazed at the spirited female lead as he unhappily replied, "You sure sleep comfortably."


    Jun Qiyan didn''t argue with him. She only smiled and said, "Yes, it''s quite comfortable!"


    With that said, he looked at Gu Yao''s black face.


    It was a good thing that nothing had happened that morning. Jun Qianyan, Gu Yao, Jing Jubai, Feng Chenlang and Ye Changsheng, the five of them were worthy of being called the strongest group in the competition.


    In just a single morning, he had acquired quite a few points.


    By noon, all of the spirit beasts that had won prizes had been turned into roasted meat to satisfy their hunger.


    Perhaps it was because she had eaten too much in the afternoon, but Jun Qiyan took advantage of Feng Chen Lang and the others'' inattention and wanted to resolve the internal emergency by herself.


    "Halt!"


    A crisp sound rang out, successfully stopping Jun Qiyan''s steps.


    Jun Qi''s face was dark, and she couldn''t wait to rip him to shreds. No matter which immortal it was, would it be possible for her to first solve her biological problem?


    When she thought of this, Jun Qiyan did not even turn around as he walked forward.


    It seemed that she was determined to find trouble with Jun Qiyan. She said, "Stand still for me!"


    "Are you deaf?! Can''t you hear what I tell you?! "


    Seeing that the other party wasn''t going to let her off, Jun Qianyan''s face darkened as she turned to look at a girl who was trying to stop her.


    "Don''t follow me!"


    Jun Qiyan gritted his teeth as he spoke.


    The girl behind him gasped for breath as she looked at the young man in front of her.


    "You!"


    "Hmph, I''ll tell you! I''ve noticed you since a long time ago! " The girl raised her head with an arrogant look.


    The corner of Jun Qiyan''s mouth twitched. Just where did this brainless young miss come from?! She just wants to be in a hurry right now, hey!


    "Oh, so?"


    Jun Qiyan asked with an expressionless face.


    "The people I hate the most are people like you!" The woman seemed to have thought of something infuriating and pointed her index finger at the person in front of her.


    "Speak!" Did you do something on the stage? Why are you with Jing and Ji Bai?! "


    The woman said angrily.


    Everyone knew about the two Purple Spirit Roots in the capital, but because Jun Qiyan''s face was so ordinary, not many people could remember it.


    Thus, everyone only knew that one of them was Ji Bai, while the other one was completely unknown.


    Jun Qiyan looked at the person in front of him as if he were a fool.


    "Are you saying that I did something under the noses of the more than one hundred coaches and four hundred contestants?" Jun Qiyan said with a smile that did not reach his eyes.


    The woman raised her forehead as if I had already discovered the truth. "That''s right!"


    "If I had such a sky-high ability, why would I still go to Tanas Academy?!"


    The woman didn''t seem to have thought of this, and was immediately silenced by Jun Qiyan.


    "Hmph, I don''t care if you did it!" The woman had an imposing manner and wanted to say something, but a mocking voice came from behind her.


    "Why aren''t you acting so sharp in front of me? Why are you acting so cowardly in front of outsiders like an ostrich?"


    As the sound of his voice faded, a monstrous man appeared in front of the two of them. The one who had come was none other than Gu Yao.


    Gu Yao''s gaze was locked onto his, while his tone was slightly raised with a cold glint in his eyes.


    Jun Qiyan curled her lips. She waved her hand and said to the person in front of her, "I''ll leave this woman to you. I''ll go solve her physiological problems first."


    At first, Gu Yao was stunned, but he didn''t react. The meaning behind the other party''s words was, after that, he didn''t know whether to laugh or cry as he watched the other party''s departing back.


    He didn''t like that brat, but he was still on his own team. If he was bullied outside, wouldn''t it be embarrassing?!


    Besides, he was the only one who could bully that kid. No matter who it was, he couldn''t!

 C61

    After Jun Qiyan had settled his internal emergency, he couldn''t help but think of the woman who had blocked his path.


    When she thought of the way the other person looked at her, she didn''t know why, but she felt that something was off.


    When Jun Qiyan returned to the camp, he didn''t think too much about it. The group once again set out on their journey to hunt and kill magical beasts.


    "There''s a Wind Thunder Beast nearby." "What is it?" Jing and Ji Bai picked up a handful of soil from the ground and sniffed it, then asked affirmatively.


    As his voice fell, Feng Chenlang''s eyes lit up with excitement. He rubbed his hands together as if he was eager to give it a try.


    "The Wind Thunder Beast is a Class 4 Magical Beast!" "Although it''s not easy to deal with, we still have five people here." Feng Chen Lang looked at his friends beside him, and spoke with determination.


    Jun Qiyan frowned slightly. "The Thunderstorm Beast is a bird, and the sky is their battlefield. When we meet them, we''ll control its wings."


    To the side, Ye Changsheng nodded his head, indicating that he also agreed with Jun Qiyan''s words.


    "Tsk, I beg you two to be careful and look like this, but I can handle a mere Wind Thunder Beast by myself!"


    Gu Yao raised his head, as he arrogantly said.


    Beijing''s Ji Bai didn''t look at the people arguing at the side. He only said slowly, "Be careful when you encounter the Wind Thunder Beast later."


    Finished speaking, the few of them slowly walked inside.


    The tall trees all around covered the sun above, specks of light scattered on the ground, the surroundings were terrifyingly quiet.


    "Why do I feel a chill on my back ¡­" Feng Chen Lang shrugged his shoulders as he vigilantly looked around.


    Gu Yao held a straw in his mouth as he hugged the back of his head with both of his hands. His face was filled with contempt and disregard.


    "What''s there to be afraid of?"


    "No, the Yin Qi here is very dense." Ye Changsheng looked around him with a solemn expression. His perception told him that an enormous massacre might once have occurred here.


    "Why don''t we leave first?" After a moment of silence, Ye Changsheng suggested.


    But unexpectedly, he was met with rebuttal from Gu Yao.


    "I say, Changsheng, what are you afraid of? Isn''t it just a mere Wind Thunder Beast? Even if that thing isn''t easy, catching it wouldn''t make you so afraid."


    Gu Yao teased.


    "Be careful! Something''s not right around here! " In his spiritual consciousness, Baji Snake hurriedly said. The ball on the side also began to get nervous.


    Jun Qiyan frowned slightly.


    "Is there anything bad around here?" she could not help asking.


    After a moment of silence, the Octadic Snake slowly said, "I have yet to fully recover my strength. My perception is not as strong as before, I can only detect movements around ten meters away, but the vigilance of the magical beast is still there."


    "It was my instinct that told me there was something wrong here. Think about it, no matter where I went along the way, I would more or less hear the howls of some magical beasts. However, this place is so quiet ¡­"


    Jun Qiyan couldn''t help but become slightly more nervous as she listened to the eight great snakes'' explanation.


    That''s right, all of them were ordinary demons!


    Just as Jun Qiyan was deep in thought, Feng Chen Lang, who was standing to the side, suddenly let out a world-shaking scream.


    "Look, what the hell are those things?!"


    Jun Qiyan''s entire body shook as she hurriedly looked in the direction Feng Chen Lang''s finger was pointing.


    In front of him were piles of bones that were as tall as a small mountain.


    Looking at the mountain of white bones, everyone''s eyes were filled with undisguised astonishment. No wonder Feng Chenlang felt chills on his back.


    No wonder Ye Changsheng felt that the yin energy here was very dense. How could these piles of bones not have yin energy ¡­


    Seeing the frightening scene in front of him, Gu Yao couldn''t help but swallow his saliva, "What exactly happened here?!"


    The Wind Lightning Beast was a herbivorous animal. The corpses of these magical beasts were clearly not caused by the Wind Lightning Beast. This meant that there were other powerful magical beasts here ¡­


    Thinking of this, everyone was no longer calm.


    No, look at the skeleton at the top!"


    Everyone turned to look, and all four of them narrowed their eyes. The skeleton of the Wind Thunder Beast was extremely large and easy to identify. And this skeleton in front of them was obviously the skeleton of the Wind Thunder Beast!


    From the start, Beijing''s Ji Bai''s judgement was not wrong. There was indeed wind here, but they were a step too late. That Thunderstorm Beast had already been killed by the other magical beasts!


    Thinking of this, everyone froze in place, not knowing what to do.


    Jun Qiyan was the first to react as she hurriedly said to the people beside her.


    "Hurry and retreat!"


    The four of them only regained their senses after hearing Jun Qiyan''s voice.


    But before they could escape, they heard the sound of something breaking through the earth.


    In his spiritual mind, the Octadic Snake muttered, "Damn woman, you''re in big trouble."


    Jun Qiyan trembled. Someone who could be called a big trouble by the Octadic Snake must not be an ordinary person ¡­


    "Zombie ants ¡­" The Octadic Snake muttered.


    Jun Qiyan''s brows tightly knitted together. Clearly, she had never heard of this name before. He did not dare to say that he knew most of the Demon Beasts in the Eastern Profound Continent, but he did know more than half of them.


    She clearly remembered all of those highly lethal magic beasts, and this corpse eating ant in front of her was called Di Mo Jiu who she had never heard of before ¡­


    "That''s right ¡­" The Octadic Great Snake seemed to have thought of something, and a trace of fear actually flashed across his eyes ¡­


    That''s right, it was fear!


    The Octadic Great Snake was an ancient beast, and it could be said that there were extremely few things that could cause his expression to change.


    Jun Qiyan''s heart sank to the bottom.


    "What the hell is going on?!"


    "If this thing is a corpse eating ant, then everything is reasonable. Because I was severely injured during the war with the gods and devils, my perception has been weakened and I can''t sense anything below the surface."


    "But this corpse-eating ant lives in the underground world. Usually, they would lure their enemies to their territory and trap them. A single corpse eating ant isn''t scary, what''s scary is that there are thousands or tens of thousands of them ¡­"


    The Octadic Snake closed its eyes and said.


    A thousand miles of dike, destroyed by ants! This statement was not without merit.


    "The corpse-eating ants feed on cultivators and demonic beasts, and their speed of speech is extremely fast ¡­ This thing should not even appear on a lowly continent like the East Xuan Continent! "


    The Octadic Snake couldn''t help muttering to itself.


    During the Great War of the Gods and Demons, the demons had once used corpse eating ants. However, they had never expected corpse eating ants to actually eat their own side of the soldiers and magical beasts!


    If not for the appearance of the Lord Demon God, just the corpse eating ants alone could have caused the god and demon races to suffer a great loss of strength ¡­


    When Jun Qiyan heard the Baji Snake''s explanation, his eyes were filled with shock.

 C62

    In this world, there was actually a species that could cause both the Celestials and the Demons to suffer great losses in terms of vitality ¡­


    Jun Qiyan felt that his view of the world had once again been refreshed.


    "The Zombie Worms fear fire the most ¡­" "But the feeling he gives me right now is completely different from what he was ten thousand years ago ¡­" The Octadic Snake''s throat tightened, as if it couldn''t believe the truth before its eyes.


    Jun Qiyan''s sharp eyes narrowed, "So what''s the situation with this thing?"


    Jun Qianyan couldn''t help but ask as she took in a deep breath.


    The Octadic Snake was silent for a moment, as if he had fallen into a distant memory.


    "Tens of thousands of years ago, after the Great War of Gods and Demons, the Eastern Profound Continent, as one of the main battlefields, suffered the most severe injuries. Back then, Lord Nuwa could not bear it any longer and used all of his mana to help the East Profound Continent recover and also created the spatial laws. It is impossible for creatures from the upper realm to appear here ¡­"


    "Although I don''t know why the zombie ants appeared here, this thing''s strength can''t be compared to what it was back then. Otherwise, the East Xuan Continent would have been turned into a sea of blood long ago."


    The Octadic Snake gave a meaningful look to Jun Feiyan, then continued, "But even so, it''s enough for you guys to eat a pot now."


    "He''s right." Di Mo Jiu''s deep voice sounded in Jun Laige''s ears.


    "It had already been ten thousand years since Nuwa repaired the East Continent. The spatial enchantment was no longer as strong as it was in the past ¡­ "I''m afraid there are already some people who are unable to suppress their emotions."


    Di Mo''s dark eyes narrowed slightly. His eyes were filled with evil and brutality.


    Jun Qianyan didn''t notice the abnormality of Di Mo Jiu at all. What troubled him the most right now was how to deal with the zombie ants.


    "What exactly is this thing? It''s so disgusting! " Feng Chen Lang looked at the squirming worms in front of them, his eyes revealing a look of disgust.


    Jun Qiyan took in a deep breath. Without a second thought, a ball of black flames quickly condensed in his palm, surrounding the five people.


    "Heavenly Flame ¡­?" Gu Yao said in disbelief as he looked at Jun Qianyan''s skilled actions.


    What exactly was the background of this fellow?!


    "Don''t step out of this circle!" Jun Qiyan sternly said.


    Sure enough, after Jun Qiyan''s'' Heavenly Flame '', the ant''s crawling speed had slowed down by a lot. Most of the ants had been trapped outside the encirclement.


    Only a few passed through the Soul Devouring Flame.


    However, the corpse-eating ants that passed through the Soul Devouring Flame were completely unharmed!


    "What''s going on?!" Jun Qiyan looked at the zombie ants that were getting closer and closer to them. He wished that he could drag the Octadic Snake out of the Nuwa stone and ask them for more details.


    They said they were afraid of fire!


    The most basic trust between people!


    The Octadic Snake was also shocked by this scene. "I ¡­ I don''t know what''s going on. Ten thousand years ago, he was indeed afraid of fire ¡­"


    While the two of them were talking, the front of the group of ants had slowly crawled towards them.


    Feng Chen Lang gathered all of his spirit energy into the sword in his hand and used it to attack the zombie ants that were crawling on the ground.


    However, an astonishing scene appeared. Only a few of the zombies were blasted away, and even more of them managed to climb onto Feng Chen Lang''s sword.


    In just a short moment, the sword had snapped from its waist, turning into two pieces of scrap iron.


    "This is a fucking monster, right?!"


    Feng Chenlang''s eyes went straight to the point. He had never seen a bug that could eat a sword!


    When everyone saw this, they also understood the danger of the situation. "


    "Corpse Eating Insects... "It evolved!"


    Di Mo Jiu who was silent suddenly spoke up.


    evolved?! Jun Qiyan''s heart skipped a beat. No wonder the Baji Snake said that something was wrong ¡­


    It turned out that there was a mistake here!


    "Which one of you has a contract beast? It''s a bird."


    Jun Qiyan turned his head to the four people behind him and asked urgently.


    The crowd at the side was clearly taken aback. They didn''t know why Jun Qiyan would suddenly ask such a question.


    "You still have the mood to ask this at a time like this?" Gu Yao snappily said.


    Jun Qianyan didn''t have the time to speak with Gu Yao for long. She only sternly berated, "If you don''t want to die here, hurry up and answer my question!"


    "I do, but can a great roc do it?" Jing Jibai paused for a moment before he asked.


    Roc?


    "Sure, hurry up and summon it out." Jun Qiyan''s eyes lit up as she hurriedly said this.


    With a flash of golden light, a gigantic bird beast appeared before the group.


    "Master." The great peng respectfully lowered his head.


    The great roc was the largest of all the birds. Even though it had shrunk down to its smallest size, it was still shockingly large.


    The massive body of the great roc completely covered the sun in the sky.


    "What should we do?" Jing and Ji Bai didn''t pay attention to the shock in Jun Qiyan''s eyes as they asked in a low voice.


    Jun Qiyan smiled slyly.


    "There''s no need to do anything. Just stand here!"


    As soon as Jun Qianyan finished speaking, he actually kept all the weapons in his possession into the Nuwa Stone.


    She stood at her original position and looked at the bugs below with a calm expression.


    In just a moment, the originally vigorous and valiant zombie ants seemed to have encountered something terrifying, and they all drilled backwards as if they were rushing to be reincarnated.


    Everyone looked at the scene in front of them with amazement. They still didn''t understand why they were still chasing him and didn''t want to let go of the zombie ants.


    "Insects are bugs. No matter how powerful they are, they are still afraid of birds!"


    After hearing Jun Qiyan''s explanation, everyone seemed to come to a realization. Soon after, there was not a single person who didn''t sigh in their hearts at the meticulousness of his thoughts.


    Insects were afraid of birds. This was something that even a three year old child knew about. However, if it was an incomparably powerful and invincible insect, it would be a completely different story.


    Furthermore, he was in such a dangerous situation. It was rare for Jun Qiyan to analyze such matters in such a stable manner.


    Beijing''s Ji Bai narrowed his eyes as he looked at the person in front of him.


    Under such circumstances, how could he remain calm and analyze the situation properly and steadily? How could he possibly be an ordinary person?


    This brat was truly causing people to be more and more curious.


    Feng Chen Lang, who was at the side, couldn''t help but give a thumbs up, and his face was full of admiration:


    "Mu Jiu, you are the only pervert other than Little White, the one I admire the most! No, no, no! Right now, compared to Little White, I admire you a little more! "


    Little White?! Jun Qiyan felt a chill run down her spine. She shrugged, feeling pity in her heart.


    Such a good young man, how could there be any problems with his brain?


    Ye Changsheng, on the other hand, forcefully endured the smile on his face. By his side, Gu Yao didn''t care about anything else. He held his stomach and laughed heartily.

 C63

    When Jun Qiyan returned to the camp, everyone looked exhausted.


    The corners of Jun Qiyan''s mouth twitched as she looked at the sleeping crowd before her. Only after everything was settled did she return to the Nuwa Stone.


    "Come here!" Di Mo Jiu''s face was gloomy as he looked at Jun Yunrue with a gloomy face.


    Jun Qiyan trembled as she didn''t know when she had offended this master again.


    "Cough cough, is something the matter?"


    Jun Qiyan coughed lightly as he asked carefully.


    This couldn''t be blamed on him for being so cowardly. One must know that when her family''s Ninth Master became angry, it was he who bit people.


    "Do you know how dangerous it is for you today?" Di Mo Jiu narrowed his cold eyes, gritted his teeth and said.


    Jun Qianyan didn''t want to bring Di Mo Jiu about this, so she let out a sigh of relief, waved her hand and said with a nonchalant expression,


    "I only dared to do that with confidence."


    When Di Mo Jiu saw the indifferent look on Jun Qiyan''s face, he was so angry that he could not speak.


    This girl really doesn''t know what''s good for her.


    Initially, he had wanted to charge out and exterminate those bastards, but the restraining power of the Nuwa Stone was too strong. Without Jun Qianyan''s permission, he wouldn''t be able to do so.


    Thinking about today''s crisis, Di Mo Jiu''s eyes turned even colder.


    What Di Mo Jiu did not realize was that he was no longer allowing Jun Yunyan to be threatened.


    "No way!" Di Mo Jiu said stiffly.


    Jun Qianyan was stunned for a moment as she looked at the person in front of her with a strange expression on her face. What right did he have to care about her?!


    Di Mo Jiu had clearly noticed Jun Qianyan''s strange mood, "You are this sovereign''s man! If you accidentally die, then wouldn''t this noble one lose a lot of face?! "


    What he did not know was that in the future, how much he would hate those words.


    When Jun Qiyan heard the words "you are this sovereign''s man", she couldn''t help but feel touched. However, she didn''t want to wake herself up with just a few words.


    "Ninth Lord, don''t worry, I won''t let you lose face."


    Jun Qiyan said slowly, but even she did not notice that there was a hint of dissatisfaction in her tone.


    Di Mo Jiu''s already gloomy face became even more unsightly.


    "No, I want to be with you from tomorrow onwards." Di Mo Jiu said.


    Jun Qianyan was so angry that he was almost laughing. How could this man be so tyrannical?!


    "Heh, Tanas Academy doesn''t allow pets, not even spirit pets!"


    When Jun Qiyan heard that Di Mo Jiu wanted to follow him, he immediately assumed that the other party wanted to continue to transform into a Spirit Fox.


    she said first.


    Di Mo Jiu raised his eyebrows and jokingly said, "Who said that it was going to turn into a Spirit Fox?"


    Jun Qianyan was stunned for a moment, and then a bad premonition began to rise in her heart.


    "You! "You''re not going to transform into a human and go with me to Tanas Academy, are you?!"


    Jun Qiyan was frightened by her own thoughts as she looked at the person in front of her with a horrified expression.


    Di Mo Jiu only smiled at Jun Qiyan, tacitly agreeing.


    Jun Qiyan was even more agitated when he saw this.


    How come she hadn''t realized for so long that this man was so shameless?!


    "No!" There''s one more among the participants, what do you want me to say to Teacher?! "


    Jun Qiyan said with an unfriendly expression.


    As for Timothy, he had a look of indifference on his face. "Amongst the competitors for Tynes Academy ¡­" There are one or two accidental deaths every year, right? "


    Di Mo Jiu said miserably.


    As his voice fell, many of the participants felt a chill crawl up their backs. Why did it feel like someone was looking at them ¡­


    Jun Qiyan rejected Di Mo Jiu''s suggestion without a second thought. Her terms were like ''no one offends me'', like no one else!


    Di Mo Jiu saw that if this wasn''t possible, then it wasn''t. He was a bit angry, but he could do nothing about this little girl in front of him.


    "Say what you want!"


    Di Mo Jiu looked at the man in front of him with a helpless expression.


    "At least I will follow you for the next few days before the end of the competition."


    Di Mo Jiu''s dark eyes stared straight at Jun Feiyan.


    Jun Qiyan stuck out her tongue. She knew that if she refused again, her Ninth Master would most likely explode.


    "You can follow me before the end of the match! But you need to disguise yourself! "


    Jun Qiyan looked at Di Mo Jiu''s angry face with ill intentions. She was sure that if Di Mo Jiu left just like that, it would attract the attention of a large group of girls.


    Oh, no, there are men.


    At that time, he would truly become public enemy number one.


    All he wanted was to train peacefully, so that everyone would become enemies. There was no need to be too scary.


    The stubborn expression on Jun Qianyan''s face was reflected in Di Mo Jiu''s eyes. Di Mo Jiu felt as if his heart, which had been moving for the past ten thousand years, was slightly shaken.


    "Sure."


    Di Mo Jiu nodded.


    Yes, he could accept it. In any case, he had never cared about his appearance.


    "Also!" You still need to listen to me when you leave! You are not allowed to randomly attack! "


    If the Ninth Master was unhappy that day and accidentally killed someone, wouldn''t he be the one to clean up the mess?!


    Hearing this, Di Mo Jiu frowned.


    "Don''t push your luck."


    Jun Qiyan froze.


    "Huh? Advancing by an inch?! "Ninth Master, you actually know this word?" Jun Qiyan said with a strange tone.


    Di Mo Jiu just looked at the person in front of him without saying anything.


    Finally, under the firm stand of Jun Qiyan, Di Mo Jiu chose to compromise.


    There was still a long way to go, and if he really wanted to make a move, Jun Qianyan wouldn''t be able to stop him.


    At this time, Jun Qianyan had never thought that he, Di Mo Jiu, would actually be so shameless.


    After Di Mo Jiu had settled down, Jun Qiyan could not help but have a headache as to how she should explain things to her little friends tomorrow.


    In the morning, the sun slowly rose from the horizon, illuminating the entire land.


    Jun Qiyan had long dragged Di Mo Jiu out.


    "When you see Jing and Ji Bai later, just say that you''re from another team, but you were pushed out of the team, do you understand?"


    Jun Qiyan said with a serious expression.


    Di Mo Jiu could only bitterly smile as he looked at Jun Feiyan. She had already repeated such a simple sentence more than ten times since this morning.


    Not long after that, Beijing''s Ji Bai, Feng Chenlang, and co. also began washing up and getting up.


    "Hey, who is he?" Feng Chen Lang curiously looked at Di Mo Jiu and asked with some doubt.


    Jun Qiyan''s face stiffened as he thought to himself that what should come would eventually come.


    "He ¡­ I picked him up during the morning practice. He must have been rejected by the other teams. I saw that he was not safe outside, so I brought him back."


    Jun Qiyan waited for a long time, but couldn''t find any words from Di Mo Jiu. His heart instantly went to one side to greet the eighteen generations of Di Mo''s ancestors. What was he doing!?


    How could you, Lord Nine, fail at such a crucial moment!

 C64

    Jun Qiyan secretly reached out his hand to pinch Di Mo Jiu''s waist.


    After some time, Jun Qianyan''s face turned black. How could this man''s figure be so good?! There wasn''t any fat at all!


    "Oh, so it''s like that." Feng Chen Lang nodded and didn''t think too much about it.


    On the other hand, Jing Ji Bai''s hand movements suddenly stopped. He looked at Jun Qiyan with a measuring gaze.


    Jun Qiyan''s heart tightened. Feng Chenlang''s b * tch was quite easy to fool, but Jing and Ji Bai were real foxes!


    Fortunately, Jun Qiyan''s reasoning was reasonable.


    After all, when the match was about to end, many teams would kick out their weaker teammates.


    Di Mo and Di Qing were naturally ranked as the weaker ones.


    However, he was puzzled to find that after these past few days of contact, Jun Qianyan wasn''t a bad person. Why would she be so kind as to bring this man back?!


    Seeing that Ji Bai did not suspect anything, Jun Qiyan heaved a sigh of relief, then glared fiercely at Di Mo Jiu.


    Feng Chen Lang, who was standing to the side, saw all of this.


    The angry look in Jun Qiyan''s eyes had turned into a passionate look.


    Feng Chen Lang''s body stiffened. He suddenly thought back to the man that Jun Qiyan had said he liked.


    Feng Chen Lang couldn''t help but secretly size up Di Mo Jiu and Jun Qianyan. The strangest thing was, no matter how he looked at them, he couldn''t find a single clue ¡­ A perfect match?!


    Feng Chenlang himself was frightened by his own thoughts. Those were two genuine men!


    "Mo Jiu, did you really pick him up from the outside?!" Feng Chenlang could not help but ask.


    Jun Qiyan trembled; this fellow was usually so out of tune; how did he become so shrewd at such a critical moment?!


    "You two aren''t that kind of relationship, are you?" Feng Chen asked uncertainly as he swallowed his saliva.


    Jun Qiyan instantly didn''t understand the meaning of Feng Chen Lang''s words.


    "That''s right, that''s the relationship!" Feng Chen asked with a red face.


    Seeing that the other party still hadn''t understood the meaning of his words, Feng Chen Lang decided to be frank.


    "Could it be that this young master is also addicted to losing his sleeve?" "The two of you ¡­"


    Jun Qianyan didn''t know whether to laugh or cry. She had indeed overestimated this kid. The word ''smart'' would probably never be used on Feng Chen Lang.


    Jun Qiyan rolled her eyes. Then she gave a sly smile and pretended to be shy.


    "Why are you being so direct!"


    Seeing this, Feng Chen Lang revealed an expression that said ''I understand''.


    Gu Yao, who had just come out, was dumbstruck.


    This brat was actually a broken sleeve?!


    What if this brat had an intention towards her, his devastatingly beautiful face!?


    Di Mo Jiu''s face instantly turned black.


    Eh?


    Broken sleeve?!


    Di Mo Jiu looked at Jun Qiyan with a smile that wasn''t a smile. Jun Qianyan couldn''t help but shiver; why did she suddenly feel that her Ninth Master was so terrifying?!


    "That''s right, we have been together for a long time. Muji must have been shy and never mentioned it to you."


    Di Mo Jiu embraced the man beside him, he lowered his head and looked at the young man who was only as tall as his shoulder.


    Jun Qiyan could only reply with a smile.


    By the side, Ye Changsheng, who knew of Jun Qianyan''s identity, hurriedly interrupted the strange atmosphere.


    "Okay, okay, no matter what, Mo Jiu is still our good brother."


    Jun Qiyan gratefully looked at Ye Changsheng.


    Gu Yao pursed his lips but didn''t say anything.


    "Ah, that''s right! What is brother''s name ¡­" Ye Changsheng had not finished speaking when he was interrupted by Di Mo Jiu.


    "Wait!" Di Mo Jiu suddenly exclaimed.


    As the sound of Di Mo Jiu''s voice faded, a gigantic python appeared in front of everyone.


    The giant python spat out its tongue, its huge fangs stained with traces of venom. It looked extremely terrifying.


    "Mom ¡­" This... "What is this?!"


    Feng Chen Lang looked at the huge python in front of him, and his legs began to weaken.


    The python''s target was obviously Jun Qiyan. It did not even glance at Feng Chenlang and the others.


    The several zhang long python suddenly wanted to attack Jun Qiyan, its pair of oily green eyes were staring straight at Jun Qiyan.


    Jun Qiyan felt his entire body tremble; just what sort of sin had he committed?! Why did all these weird things like to come here?


    Jun Qiyan dodged to the side like a flashing meteor. His speed was so fast that it was impossible to catch his afterimage.


    The crowd was flabbergasted as they looked at Jun Qiyan''s speed ¡­ How could this be a level that a Qi Cultivating Stage cultivator could reach?!


    Jun Qianyan didn''t notice anything amiss with the crowd. Even if they were on the verge of death, they probably wouldn''t notice this.


    "What are you all standing around for?!" Run! " When Jun Qiyan saw that Feng Chenlang and his men were standing still in their original positions, his anger immediately rose to a new level.


    Are these people all fools? Did they really think that a small, solid foundation cultivator like themselves could deal with a high level magical beast?


    "Ha! Leaving you here by yourself is my style?"


    Feng Chen Lang drew his sword from his back and licked his dark red lips.


    "Your father''s broadsword has long been unable to endure the thirst." Feng Chen Lang laughed as he leapt up, and was about to slash down on the giant python.


    In an instant, a blood-red light appeared. A pillar of red blood gushed out, dyeing Feng Chen Lang''s charming face red.


    Originally, the enormous python did not plan to attack Feng Chenlang and the others. However, the actions of Feng Chenlang and the others greatly enraged it.


    The python''s entire body emitted a dark glow, making it look especially frightening.


    "If we can kill this thing, then we''ll be rich!"


    Gu Yao followed closely behind. Unknowingly, he had already taken out a dazzling golden bow in his hand.


    The bow was inlaid with red agate and shining gemstones. In the center of the bow was an extremely rare spirit stone.


    Gu Yao aimed at the giant python in the middle and shot straight at it.


    "You two disloyal fellows, how can you take such a good thing for yourself?"


    Beijing''s Ji Bai narrowed his eyes as a long curved sickle suddenly appeared in his hand.


    Once this weapon was used, the surrounding spiritual energy seemed to have become thinner.


    "You actually dare to use all of your hidden weapons."


    Ye Changsheng could not help but chuckle.


    "This sword of yours hasn''t been used for many years, right?" Gu Yao narrowed his eyes and shot an arrow straight out before he continued speaking.


    With a twist of his arm, the spiritual energy around him condensed into a gigantic sickle shape at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye.


    The scythe was suffused with a strange red glow, as if a raging fire was burning on it.


    "Heavens ¡­" Just how sick are you?! "


    Ye Changsheng''s warm smile completely disappeared.

 C65

    "You''ve actually already practiced the Nine Hell Flame Slash to this degree of perfection." Ye Changsheng could not help but say with some surprise.


    In fact, what surprised her the most was that, as the person closest to Ji Bai in the capital, Jun Qiyan, she could clearly feel the swift and fierce movements around her.


    Looking at the vast flames behind him, Jun Qianyan once again thought back to the time when he had just arrived in the Profound East Continent.


    This move of Jin and Ji Bai''s is more than ten times stronger than the one that man used.


    Of course, part of the reason was because of the light element in Jing and Ji Bai''s body.


    The enormous image of the scythe carried a destructive aura with it as it headed straight for the giant python.


    Although the [Nine Hell Flame Slash] was powerful, it was still a python. It was a high level magical beast, so how could it be so easy to deal with?


    "Tell them to split up. You few are no match for a high level magical beast." Di Mo Jiu narrowed his eyes, lowered his voice and said to Jun Qianyan who was standing beside him.


    Jun Qiyan nodded her head as if she was pounding garlic. She quickly raised her voice to speak to the crowd in front of her.


    "The four of you, split into the East, South, West, and North search for the song, and run away separately."


    When everyone heard this, they did not do as he said. They all ran in different directions, north, south, east and west. Jun Qiyan took the opportunity to slip into the woods as well.


    Even though Beijing, Ji Bai, and the others had dealt too much damage to that giant python, the giant python had only chased after Jun Qiyan for some reason.


    Jun Qi''s entire body was thrown into disarray by the wind. What was going on?!


    Brother python, you and I have no enmity between us, is it really okay for you to run after me like this?


    Di Moyu wasn''t the only one who would injure Jun Qianyan; one must know that Jun Qianyan had the descendants of Medusa and the ancient vicious beast, the Octopus Snake!


    Although this giant python was a high level magical beast, it was far from being comparable to an ancient beast like the Octadic Snake.


    "Slanted!" Aren''t you going to help me?! "


    Jun Qiyan angrily looked to her side. A certain someone with an expression of watching a good show could not wait to tear the person in front of him into two.


    Who said last night that they had to protect themselves?! Who was watching the show right now?


    This man shouldn''t be too excessive, right?


    Jun Qiyan glared at Di Mo Jiu fiercely. She knew that it was not an option to keep hiding, so she decided to bite the bullet and face him head on.


    "Why are you following me? We have no grievances or grievances, so why must you put me to death? "


    Jun Qiyan stopped walking and tried to communicate with the enormous being in front of him.


    High level magical beasts already had divine intents, so they were able to communicate with humans. However, they believed that humans were too weak and insignificant, and didn''t have the qualifications to talk to others.


    The giant python didn''t think that this tiny human would actually feel like talking to it. It was stunned for a moment, and then it looked at Jun Qianyan as if he was its archenemy.


    Jun Qianyan couldn''t help mumbling to himself, [I haven''t done anything devoid of conscience recently!]


    The python spat out its bright red tongue. It had no intention of communicating with Jun Qiyan.


    Jun Qiyan couldn''t help but feel a little anxious. He really couldn''t defeat the other party!


    "Please tell me why! Even if we were to fight, you might not even be able to stand up. To be honest, I have already contracted with the ancient beast, the Octadic Snake. "


    Jun Qiyan gritted his teeth and revealed his trump card.


    The Octadic Snake?


    The python''s enormous body suddenly trembled. As a magical beast and a snake, it was extremely clear what the Octadic Snake looked like.


    The giant python looked at Jun Qiyan, half-believing and half-doubting. In the end, it took human form and stood in front of Jun Qiyan.


    A giant python in human form was different from a huge snake in human form. It could be said that the huge snake in human form was extremely handsome.


    Perhaps because of its cultivation experience and level, the giant python in front of him could not become a person at this moment. Its entire body was green, and it looked extremely frightening.


    Jun Qianyan didn''t dare to express even the slightest hint of dissatisfaction and fear towards this enormous python, which was similar to the shape of a human. He had a small, fawning face the entire time.


    "You said you have a contract with my master?!" The giant python asked.


    When Jun Qiyan saw that the other party had finally decided not to kill him, she could only force a smile. She quickly nodded her head, afraid that she would anger the master in front of her.


    "What method do you have to prove it?"


    The giant python was not in a hurry to believe what Jun Qiyan had said. Instead, it began to question back.


    Jun Qiyan summoned the Octadic Snake in his space as fast as he could.


    Why was it mandatory?


    Wasn''t it because some old man was too proud and arrogant, and was unwilling to admit that he was conquered by the Humanity in front of his former subordinates?


    However, because of the contract, the Octadic Snake couldn''t help but appear in front of Jun Feiyan.


    "What did you, a dead woman, call me over for?!"


    The Octopus Snake''s face was filled with arrogance as it unwillingly appeared in front of Jun Qiyan.


    Jun Qiyan impolitely slapped the back of the snake''s head.


    "Why are you being so arrogant?"


    "You dead woman! "Hmm, you want to murder me, right?" The Octadic Snake gritted its teeth and said.


    Can''t you give him some face in front of his subordinates?


    The python at the side was dumbfounded when it saw Che. Who was he?


    Where is it?


    The once invincible and awe-inspiring Octadic Snake was now willingly yield to a mere human?


    Even if the Octadic Snake was seriously injured and in a deep sleep for dozens of years, it would have been easy for it to destroy such a small human.


    "My lord, this subordinate has been searching for you for tens of thousands of years."


    The giant python said in a pious manner while half-kneeling in front of the Octadic Snake.


    "You may not remember who I am, but this subordinate has never forgotten you!"


    Indeed, he did not know who this giant python in front of him was. After all, he had commanded hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers back then, and with the giant python''s level, it could only be considered as'' water ''.


    Jun Qiyan stood at the side, laughing as he tried to smooth things over.


    "See that? I told you that I washed up in the Dragon King''s Temple. But then again, why must you chase after me and not let me go?!"


    Jun Qiyan hesitated for a moment, but still couldn''t help but ask, "I shouldn''t be so annoying ¡­"


    "You have the aura of a child ¡­"


    The python''s attitude took a 180 degree turn. In his mind, the Octadic Snake was his general, and Jun Qiyan was its master. Naturally, her status was incomparably noble.

 C66

    "I have the aura of your child on me?!" Jun Qi pointed at herself, clearly quite surprised.


    How much the Magic Beast cared about its own child was clear to Jun Qiyan. It could be seen from Medusa''s madness.


    "I can swear here that I''ve never seen you or stolen your children."


    Jun Qiyan swore with a serious expression.


    This time it was the python''s turn to be surprised. Normally, what he disliked the most was dealing with this group of humans.


    She even wished she could stay far away, and she had never done anything to actively attack humans.


    If he didn''t find the aura of his own child on this woman, he wouldn''t be so crazy.


    The brains of magical beasts were usually very simple, so Jun Qianyan narrowed his eyes and connected the dots. He soon discovered that something was amiss.


    "We''ve been set up."


    Jun Qiyan''s voice was cold.


    She hadn''t offended anyone recently ¡­


    That''s not right!


    Jun Qiyan suddenly thought of the young girl he had met a few days ago.


    It''s her!


    It was her doing!


    "Don''t worry, I''ll definitely help you get your child back. I''ll return your justice."


    Jun Qiyan patted the python''s shoulder as he promised.


    Since he had the courage to frame himself, he had to be able to bear his anger.


    "Octadic Snake, do you still remember that girl from a few days ago?"


    Jun Qiyan turned around and said to the Octadic Snake.


    The Octadic Snake tilted his head and pondered for a moment before he asked, "That arrogant and despotic ugly woman?"


    Jun Qiyan nodded.


    "I remember." The Octadic Snake nodded.


    In terms of looks, Liu Feifei could be considered a beauty, but in the eyes of magical beasts, human looks were always the same.


    Hearing this, a trace of a strange smile flashed across the corner of Jun Qiyan''s mouth.


    Magical beasts could use a human''s aura to find the other party''s location, and it was even more difficult for an ancient beast like the Octadic Snake to do so.


    As expected, with the help of the Octadic Snake, they quickly found Liu Feifei''s location.


    "Softer, dead!"


    "You tormenting little demon!"


    A discordant voice sounded in the ears of Jun Qianyan and the others.


    Even Jun Qiyan, a woman of the new era in the twenty-first century, couldn''t help but blush.


    She had only seen adult action movies like this on her computer before. She had never seen such a thrilling version of a live battle!


    And with so many people.


    In that instant, an invisible and embarrassing atmosphere permeated the air.


    "Ugh ¡­"


    "Do you see the aura of your son on her?"


    Jun Qiyan tried to change the topic. The giant python had only used its divine sense to sense the surroundings for a few minutes. The originally calm environment had suddenly turned into a raging wind.


    As Jun Qiyan looked at the python, which was on the verge of going berserk, she had a very bad feeling.


    Although the decision had been made, the female lead still asked for confirmation.


    "Your child ¡­"


    "Child ¡­" At this moment, that woman is on his body. Furthermore, I can feel that his aura is very weak right now. It seems like he will appear in the next second ¡­ "


    Although the python did not finish its sentence, everyone still understood its meaning.


    Jun Qiyan thought deeply for a moment, then continued, "It should be that woman who wanted to contract your child, but failed and ended up getting humiliated and becoming angry ¡­"


    The python lowered its head. Not all magical beasts were like the Octadic Snake, and not all people were like Jun Qianyan.


    "Don''t be rash first. Leave this matter to me." Jun Qianyan narrowed her cold eyes, a dense, cold fury suffused her eyes.


    "Under broad daylight, the two of you are truly in high spirits."


    Jun Qiyan stared at the two as dark as the night.


    The two, who were currently in a frenzy, clearly didn''t think that there would actually be someone here.


    Liu Fei Fei screamed out in fear and hurriedly grabbed onto the clothes at the side to cover her naked body.


    Jun Qiyan''s eyes showed undisguised disgust.


    When Liu Fei Fei saw the newcomer, she suddenly exclaimed, "How could you still be alive? Shouldn''t you be dead already?! "


    She had clearly called him that little bastard''s blood essence and scattered it all over that brat''s body, yet he still hadn''t died yet.


    "What? Aren''t you surprised that I''m still alive? How do you feel about framing someone?" The corners of Jun Qiyan''s mouth curled up, but a cold glint could be seen in his eyes.


    "How did you know?!" As soon as Liu Fei Fei finished speaking, she seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly covered her mouth.


    The python behind Jun Qiyan started to burn with anger when it saw Liu Fei Fei''s guilty look.


    "So it was you who did it!"


    The sharp sound of the python was like a knife slashing against glass; it was incomparably ear-piercing.


    Liu Feifei had not noticed the giant python''s existence before, but now that she suddenly saw a demon with green skin, she could not help but feel fear in her heart.


    "You stole my child while I was injured and you weren''t paying attention...


    The giant python moved one step at a time, slowly approaching Liu Fei Fei.


    Liu Fei Fei''s eyes widened and her face filled with fear. She couldn''t help but mutter under her breath, "I didn''t, I didn''t steal, your child was done by that woman, I didn''t ¡­"


    Jun Qiyan couldn''t help but sneer. It was really hard for her, even at this time she didn''t forget to pull him into the water.


    "You said I did it, how did you know?" Jun Qiyan angrily asked with a smile.


    Liu Fei Fei was instantly rendered speechless.


    She could truly feel that the giant python was really trying to kill her.


    She couldn''t help but turn to look at the man she just had an affair with and ask him sternly:


    "Are you going to just watch as I get killed by them?!"


    In the face of Liu Fei Fei''s scream, the man just hid behind the rock like a quail.


    "I, I can''t beat them."


    The man finally saw the situation clearly. He was very clear about what Liu Fei Fei did.


    How could he deal with a high level magical beast? Since it was Liu Fei Fei who committed the crime, then let her shoulder it all by herself.


    At this moment, he had clearly forgotten how he had come up with a plan for Liu Fei Fei, and how he had helped Liu Fei Fei Fei to snatch the giant python''s cub.


    Liu Fei Fei grinded her teeth and cursed in her heart. Then, she abruptly took out a bloody little snake from her space. It didn''t have any snake skin wrapped around it.


    "Stand still! If anyone of you takes a step closer, I will kill him!"


    When Liu Fei Fei took out her lump of flesh, everyone''s pupils abruptly shrunk.


    That''s right, it was a lump of meat. The snake''s body, which was not wrapped in the skin of a snake, was trembling uncontrollably.


    Now, even air could become a deadly weapon to take his life.


    The one with the greatest reaction was the python closest to Liu Feifei.


    Because what Liu Fei Fei Fei had was none other than the child that he had lost a few days ago.


    "You ¡­ You actually dare! "


    The giant python was so angry that its entire body was trembling. It stared at the woman in front of him, wishing that it could tear her into a thousand pieces.


    "That''s right, I''ll do it. This little bastard doesn''t care about face at all. I contracted with him was his greatest fortune. Since she wasn''t willing, then I''ll just go and die."


    Liu Fei Fei said with an insane expression as she raised the small snake in her hand.


    Jun Qiyan could not help but curse the madman in his heart.


    "You''d better stay away from me, or I''ll die together with him!"


    As soon as she finished speaking, as if she was afraid the other party wouldn''t believe her, she pointed to the deep abyss thousands of feet behind her.


    Liu Fei Fei knew that it was impossible for her to escape from these people, so she simply put on an appearance of a fish in a net.


    Sure enough, after she said those words, everyone present fell silent.


    Jun Qiyan took in a deep breath. Of course, she couldn''t watch this madman. If she continued to jump down like this, it would be even more impossible for her to make him leave without any price.


    "Calm down a bit."


    Jun Qiyan took a deep breath and tried to talk to him.


    As the sound of his voice faded, Jun Qiyan took a step forward.


    However, she didn''t expect that Liu Fei Fei would be so excited, so much that she took four to five steps back.


    Di Mo Jiu narrowed his eyes, and took advantage of the moment where no one was looking to move a stone to Liu Fei Fei''s feet.


    Ah!


    Liu Fei Fei''s body began to tilt backwards uncontrollably, and the green snake in her hand also fell off abruptly.


    The giant python took the opportunity to snatch back its child ¡­


    Jun Qiyan''s pupils suddenly contracted as he couldn''t help but shout out, "Be careful!" Two words.


    Before anyone could react to what was happening, a blurry shadow had already appeared beside Jun Qiyan. Di Mo Jiu pulled her into his embrace and hugged her tightly.


    A few seconds later, a "peng" sound was heard.


    The people who were originally standing at the edge of the cliff fell to the ground, their bodies smashed into pieces.


    However, this series of events only happened for a few seconds.


    As a terracotta soldier, Di Mo Jiu seemed to be unconcerned as he sized up Jun Qiyan, afraid that she would think better of him.


    Jun Qiyan''s mouth was slightly agape. He clearly had not expected this result ¡­


    She originally only wanted to teach this woman a lesson and not take her life. But now ¡­


    "Are you alright?"


    Di Mo Jiu''s deep voice slowly rang out.


    Jun Qiyan''s white face turned red, then she realized that she was still in Di Mo Jiu''s embrace.


    "I, I''m fine." Jun Qiyan pushed the man in front of her away.


    He then turned around to look at the people who had already been turned into sieves.


    Jun Qiyan rubbed her chin and said with a faint smile, "You''re planning to settle this yourself? I''ll do it for you. "


    That person didn''t even think before hurriedly saying, "I''ll do it myself!"


    Wow, wow, wow. What kind of freaks were these this year''s participants? They were too terrifying. He had to go home, and he had to find his mother.


    Before he could finish his sentence, the man hurriedly crushed the jade pendant on his body. In a blink of an eye, the person who was still sitting on the ground had disappeared without a trace.


    "Hurry up and go. Someone''s dead here. There''ll be a mentor here in a bit." "We have to hurry over."


    The giant python protected the dying child in its hands and then bowed deeply towards Jun Qiyan.


    "In the future, even if you want your subordinate to ascend the mountain of blades or descend the sea of fire, your subordinate will be duty-bound."


    The python lowered its head and said with a face full of respect. Originally, its respect for Jun Qianyan was due to the Baji Snake, not its admiration for her. But now, it had wholeheartedly acknowledged her.


    Jun Qiyan smiled as she waved her hand. This python could be considered a high level magical beast in the Howling Forest. She could also be considered as having some protection when she came to the Howling Forest in the future.


    The following days were much more ordinary. With Mang''s special care, Jun Qiyan could be considered to be able to walk unhindered in the Howling Forest.


    The magical beasts also returned to their respective baskets, but they did not meet up with Jing, Ji Bai, and the others again.


    On the last day of the competition, the five-man team finally gathered.


    "Fuck, where did you run off to?" We thought you were eaten by that giant python. "


    Feng Chenlang slapped Jun Qiyan''s shoulder as he revealed an expression of undisguised worry.


    Jun Qiyan gave a simple and honest smile, then hurriedly asked, "Have you gathered enough points in the past few days?"


    Feng Chenlang quickly patted his chest and said with a heroic face, "Relax, there''s absolutely no problem entering Tanas Academy."


    "Just the points we have are more than enough, but you ¡­"


    Gu Yao cast a glance at Jun Qianyan, but there was still a trace of contempt in his eyes.


    After all, up till now, Jun Qiyan had never revealed his true strength.


    The crowd ignored Gu Yao.


    Ye Changsheng only calmly said, "I suggest that the few of us gather up all the points together, and then distribute them equally to everyone."


    Ye Changsheng''s voice paused for a moment, then he turned to look at the silent Di Mo Jiu.


    "Brother, you haven''t told us your name yet."


    "My name is ¡­" Di Mo Jiu was interrupted by Jun Laige before he could finish his words.


    "Mo Jiu, you can just call him Xiao Jiu." Jun Qiyan hurriedly said.


    In the Eastern Xuan Continent, the surname ''Di'' was related to the imperial family.


    Those present were all from the Four Great Clans and the eight noble clans.


    She was extremely sensitive towards the surname ''Di''.


    Di Mo Jiu raised his eyebrows but didn''t refute him.


    "Right, then let''s add Xiao Jiu, the six of us will equally split all our points."


    "Changsheng, are you crazy?!" Gu Yao simply could not believe Ye Changsheng''s words.


    "We do have quite a few points on us, but if we include them, I''m afraid we won''t even be able to enter Tanas Academy by ourselves."


    Gu Yao hurriedly said, afraid that the other party would be irrational and actually take out his points.


    "Gu Yao, the six of us are in a group. If not for Yin Muju luring away the giant python from a few days ago, not to mention whether we could enter Tynes Academy, even being alive would be a problem."


    "I ¡­"


    Clearly, Gu Yao had forgotten about this matter for a long time.


    "If you don''t want to, then forget it. Of course, from today onwards, we are no longer brothers."


    Ye Changsheng enunciated each word clearly.


    "Ye Changsheng, have you really gone mad? You actually want to break all ties with me for such a small matter?!" You two are not going to say anything?! "


    "I agree with Longevity." Feng Chenlang was silent for a moment before he looked resolutely at Gu Yao.


    "Crazy, they''re all crazy ¡­" Old Bai is also the strongest here, are you just going to watch the two of them fooling around?! "


    Gu Yao found this unbelievable.


    "I don''t think that''s a problem." Jing Jibai shrugged and said with a face full of approval.


    Jun Qiyan looked at the farce in front of her and blinked her eyes in silence.


    Am I that weak in their hearts?


    Gu Yao looked at his good brother from the past. At this moment, he was actually biased towards an outsider. The dissatisfaction in his heart reached its peak.


    However, he really didn''t dare to fall out with Jing Ji Bai, so he could only obediently hand over his points.


    Ye Changsheng sighed.


    The four of them, along with Jun Mo Chen, could be said to have grown up together.


    They all knew that Gu Yao''s thoughts were not bad, but it could be because the Gu Clan only had a single child, Gu Yao, that they doted on him, to the point of nurturing his current selfish personality.


    Jun Qiyan blinked and then handed over his points as well.


    After Ye Changsheng evenly distributed the points in the six person cards, he returned them to the crowd.


    After Feng Chen Lang checked the points in his card, she couldn''t help but curse at him the next second.


    "What the f * ck!" Ye Changsheng, you couldn''t be mistaken, right? Why are your points so much, and so many times higher?! " Feng Chenlang said in shock.


    After Feng Chenlang finished speaking, the others started to check the points in their cards as well.


    "Mo Jiu, how many points did you have in your card?!" Feng Chenlang asked in shock.


    "Not much, only around ten thousand." Jun Qiyan rubbed the tip of her nose as she suddenly spoke with a bit of embarrassment.


    When Jun Qianyan''s words came out, everyone was thrown into disarray.


    Over 10,000 points? What did that mean?


    One must know that before this, every single one of them only had a maximum of a thousand points, but now, Jun Qianyan had more than 10 thousand points?!


    Actually, the reason why Jun Qiyan had obtained so many points was not only because of the magical beasts, but also because of Liu Feifei.


    Liu Feifei and the man who had been frightened to the point of crushing their jade tokens into pieces could be said to be one of the strongest groups besides Jun Qianyan and the others.


    After Jun Qianyan had absorbed all of their points, naturally, their total had reached more than ten thousand.


    At this moment, the most embarrassed one was none other than Gu Yao. At the beginning, he had solemnly vowed that Jun Qiyan had taken advantage of him, but now, he was directly slapped in the face.


    Feng Chen Lang, who was at the side, looked at Gu Yao''s pitch-black expression and laughed without the slightest trace of politeness.


    After the end of the competition, Jun Qiyan, Jing Ji Bai, Gu Yao, Ye Changsheng, Feng Chenlang and the nine or six unquestionably entered Tynes Academy.


    Yes, that''s right. There was also Di Mo Jiu.


    Jun Qiyan looked at Di Mo Jiu with a faint smile, wishing that he could tear his opponent''s hand apart.


    This man was simply too shameless. She had actually believed that he would keep his promise and obediently return to the Nuwa Stone?!


    "Ninth Master, we agreed at the beginning that you will obediently return to space after the end of the competition." Jun Qiyan bit her lips. How can you lie to me about clothes? Our friendship was like the death of a puppy.


    Di Mo Jiu raised his eyebrows and said with an innocent face, "Yes, I wanted to go back at the beginning."


    Looking at Di Mo Jiu''s innocent expression, Jun Qiyan was so angry that her teeth ached.


    Jun Qianyan had originally planned to not let this matter go unnoticed by Di Mo Jiu, so that Ye Changsheng and the rest would forget about his existence.


    However, who would have thought that just after leaving for a while and submitting his contribution points, Di Mo Jiu had already started fighting with Feng Chenlang and the other bastards?!


    In addition, the way they addressed him now included Nine Supremes.


    Even that pretentious and arrogant fellow Gu Yao had a whole new level of respect for Di Mo Jiu ¡­


    Thus, the perfect plan in Jun Qiyan''s heart was strangled in the cradle just like that.


    As for Timothy, he had successfully entered the Tanasha Academy and had shamelessly become Jun Qiyan''s roommate.


    "Ninth Lord, aren''t you going to explain what''s going on?!"


    Jun Qiyan asked with a forced smile on his face as he held two identical dorm cards in his hand.


    "Eh? What''s wrong? I arranged it. "


    It was unknown when Feng Chenlang had slowly walked over, but he looked excitedly at Jun Qiyan and asked, "How is it? Isn''t it great?"


    "Let me tell you, I just asked the teacher to share a room with us. But Jing and Bai have different spiritual roots, otherwise, the six of us can stay in the same dorm."


    Feng Chenlang appeared to first take credit for his achievement before speaking with a tinge of regret.


    Jun Qiyan raised her head to look at Di Mo Jiu, who was currently pretending to be innocent. She could easily guess that it was definitely Di Mo Jiu, that old fox, who had made use of Di Ji Bai''s Erha.


    Thinking up to here, she couldn''t help but grind her teeth and say:


    "What''s going on? Do I remember that in the final round the first team won by having their own individual rooms? Why are we huddled together? "


    "Oh, you''re talking about that. Of course I quit. There''s no meaning in living alone. I specially applied to the coaches to bring us together. "


    Feng Chenlang patted his chest and said with a face full of pride.


    At this time, Jun Qianyan wished that he could strangle Feng Chenlang to death.


    "Is there something wrong with your head?! If there''s a large room, why are they all crowded together?! "


    Jun Qiyan could no longer hold it in. She glared fiercely at Di Mo Jiu.


    Feng Chenlang did not expect Jun Qiyan to be so angry.


    He immediately said with a bit of grievance.


    "Didn''t you say just now that Ninth Master told me you wanted to sleep together with him ¡­" Then I put the rest of us together. "


    Jun Qiyan nearly vomited blood all over their faces.


    When had he ever said he wanted to live with them? Where''s your moral integrity, Ninth Master? Where''s your face?!


    The previously aloof and cold Ninth Master who abhors the lust of icebergs! The guy in front of him was definitely an imposter.


    Di Mo Jiu, who was at the side, hurriedly used his spiritual sense to communicate with Jun Qianyan, "Don''t look at me like that, I''m your sweetheart, aren''t I?"


    Jun Qiyan blanked for a moment, then remembered that he had specially mentioned that he and Di Mo Jiu were a couple just to embarrass Di Mo Jiu ¡­


    She really ¡­


    Was this like lifting a stone to smash one''s own foot?!


    Compared to the depressed Jun Qiyan, Di Mo Jiu felt much better.


    Tanas Academy was worthy of being one of the top powers in the Eastern Profound Continent. Even if it was a six person dormitory, it was still a single bed.


    This gave Jun Qiyan some comfort.


    As one of the top six contestants who won the second round of competition, in addition to the privilege of having a single room, Jun Qiyan also received over 10 thousand Academy Points.


    The uses of the school''s points could be exchanged for the treasures of the school''s Treasure Vault, and one could also train in the Training Tower.


    On the first day of entering the academy, Jun Qianyin made a special trip to the Tanas Academy by herself.


    Tanas Academy took up an extremely large area. The students of different departments with different aptitudes would have different instructors teaching them in different pavilions.


    The first person Jun Qiyan visited was the Treasure Vault.


    As one of the top contestants in this competition, Yin Muji''s name could be said to be thunderous.


    The moment Jun Qiyan stepped into the Treasure Pavilion, the waiter in front of her rushed forward in a hurry.


    "Yo, which gust of wind brought you here? Did you come here to get something?"


    Although the Treasure Vault was the Institute''s Treasure Vault, the staff there were all ordinary people. Anyone who sold a certain amount of items would get a corresponding commission.


    And a new student like Jun Qiyan, who was a fool with a lot of money, was naturally the main focus of their attention.


    "You really did shine in the competition this time. I''ve admired you for a long time. I didn''t expect to meet you in person today ¡­"


    The waiter was talking nonstop, flattering her and introducing her to the customers from time to time.


    He had long been praised to the point that he could no longer find a place for himself. In addition, these goods were highly praised by the waiter, so he bought them all at once.


    However, it was different for Jun Qiyan. Not only was she not happy from being praised by the waiter, she even felt that he was very noisy.


    "Can you shut up?" Jun Qiyan finally couldn''t take it anymore.


    The waiter could pat his chest and guarantee that after all these years, not many freshmen had talked to him like this.


    "Tsk, then what did you see?"


    The waiter was clearly not as enthusiastic as before. If it wasn''t for the fact that the other party had 10 thousand points, he wouldn''t even bother to stick his head in here.


    Jun Qiyan waved his hand. The items on the shelves were flashy and unrealistic. They looked extremely gorgeous, but they didn''t have any other uses. Furthermore, they were extremely expensive.


    "You don''t have anything good with you?" Jun Qiyan pouted as he spoke with some disappointment.


    "I want a weapon that will be handy."


    After so much combat experience, Jun Qiyan clearly understood how important it was to have a good weapon in hand.


    Although he and Feng Chenlang, Ye Changsheng, Feng Chenlang, and Gu Yao were born in a large clan, she was a father that did not care about his mother, and the original owner was also a trash.


    Therefore, she could only look for it herself.


    The weapons on the shelves weren''t all that bad, but none of them resonated with him.


    The waiter hesitated for a moment and thought about the 10 thousand points that Jun Qiyan had. Then he said, "Alright, come with me to the second floor."

 C67

    The decorations on the second floor were much more exquisite than the one on the first floor. Even Jun Qiyan could tell that there was a great deal of difference between the decorations on the second floor and the one on the first.


    "These are all good stuff. Take a look and see if there''s anything you want."


    The waiter looked around and then said to Jun Qiyan.


    Jun Qiyan raised an eyebrow.


    "I want this sword, how many points does it cost?"


    Jun Qiyan looked around. She had originally been a bit disappointed that she couldn''t find the weapon she was looking for.


    In the end, when Jun Qiyan saw the last sword, her gaze never left it.


    A magical feeling lingered in Jun Qiyan''s heart, and she seemed to be able to sense the happiness, anger, and sorrow of that sword.


    The waiter looked in the direction of Jun Qiyan''s voice, only to see a simple and unadorned sword appear in front of him.


    "Are you sure?"


    The waiter gave Jun Qiyan a strange look.


    Jun Qiyan nodded, without a trace of hesitation on her face.


    "This sword does not have the slightest bit of spiritual energy, and it also has an attribute. To put it harshly, this is a piece of scrap metal."


    Broken steel?


    Jun Qianyan raised an eyebrow and asked with some disbelief, "You want to put scrap metal here?"


    The other party was instantly rendered speechless.


    This sword was originally not qualified to be kept in the storage room on the second floor. He was once good at making decisions and bringing it to the first floor.


    However, one day, the Headmaster personally came to see this sword and was informed that he had arbitrarily swapped positions with it. He was enraged and cursed at him ¡­


    The waiter had stayed in Tanas Academy for dozens of years. That was the first and only time he saw the legendary Headmaster.


    "Forget it. Even if it''s a piece of scrap metal, I want it as well."


    She had the nagging feeling that this sword was not that simple.


    "This sword''s name is Heaven Breaker ¡­ "It requires 100,000 points."


    The waiter hesitated for a moment, but still told Jun Qiyan about the sky-breaking price.


    "100,000 points?" Jun Qiyan exclaimed as she swallowed her saliva, revealing her waist pouch. She then looked at Heaven Breaker, who was quietly lying on the stage.


    He could not help but feel some unwillingness in his heart. It was not easy for him to pick up a sword. Could it be that he would just give up like that ¡­


    Jun Qiyan bit her lips as she silently spoke.


    "Darling, just wait. One day, I will marry you home."


    "Alright then, help me look at this sword. I''ll come and get it if I have enough points."


    Jun Qiyan instantly felt full of fighting spirit.


    "Ah?!" The waiter was momentarily unable to react.


    Was this kid stupid? That was 100,000 points ¡­


    He actually really wanted to ¡­


    "Hur Hur Hur, don''t worry. No one can afford it."


    100,000 points, how many Tanas students could not praise 10,000 points even after graduation?


    Not to mention spending 100,000 points to buy a piece of scrap metal, only a lunatic would do that ¡­


    Jun Qiyan nodded his head in satisfaction as he heard this. He was afraid that his precious treasure wouldn''t be taken away by others, so he went to the waiter and paid the deposit of 5000 points.


    After returning to the dormitory, the first thing Jun Qiyan did was check out the current task.


    Upon seeing this, Jun Qiyan''s small face darkened.


    The spirit pet at the back of the mountain ¡ª 500 points.


    Nursing Spirit Plant ¡ª 300 points.


    Cleaning the academy ¨C 100 points.


    The corner of Jun Qiyan''s mouth twitched as he looked at these missions. There were only a few hundred points left.


    Most missions were around 100 years old, so how could she possibly save up to 90,000 points like this?!


    "Mo Jiu, what are you looking at?"


    Feng Chen Lang excitedly ran up to Jun Qiyan and asked with an excited expression.


    Jun Qiyan shot a glance at him and asked listlessly, "Do you know of any way to quickly obtain points ¡­"


    "Hey, do you want points? Don''t the top five have more than 10,000 points ¡­?" Is that not enough for you? "


    Feng Chenlang asked with a horrified expression.


    Jun Qiyan rolled her eyes and snappily replied, "Why are you asking so many questions? I''m just asking if you know what''s going on."


    Feng Chen Lang tilted his head and thought for a while before saying:


    "The Wind Cloud Ranking, the top ten of the Wind Cloud Ranking can choose any weapon in the Treasure Vault, and you can even select fifty thousand points ¡­"


    He could choose a weapon in the Treasure Vault?


    Jun Qiyan''s eyes lit up. If that was the case, then wouldn''t her marriage to Heaven Breaker be just around the corner?!


    Feng Chenlang looked at the excited expression on Jun Qianyan''s face at the side, and bluntly said, "The Wind Cloud List is the rank of all the students in the academy. It''s not as simple as being a freshman."


    The excited expression on Jun Qianyan''s face instantly disappeared under Feng Chenlang''s attack ¡­


    "You don''t have confidence just because of this?" Di Mo Jiu suddenly came back to the dorm, he sneered and asked sarcastically.


    Jun Qiyan glared at him.


    "Do you think everyone is so abnormal like you?!"


    "Tsk, if you don''t work hard, how will you know that you can''t do it?" Di Mo Jiu leaned on the door frame while holding his arm, said with a playful look on his face.


    Jun Qiyan was silent.


    Feng Chen Lang held onto the conversation of the two and could not help but be disoriented. What were they talking about?


    Mo Jiu wouldn''t be thinking of participating in the Wind Cloud Ranking in one year, right?!


    Feng Chen Lang shook his head, as if he wanted to throw out all the impractical thoughts in his head.


    Their talents were indeed not bad, but Tanas Academy was the gathering place for all the top students of the four kingdoms.


    There were many geniuses just like dogs. Although these words were meant to be insulted, it was very real.


    "The Wind Cloud List is not only a competition of strength, there is also a competition between alchemists. If it is simply a competition of strength, then you might as well give up."


    Di Mo Jiu retorted bluntly.


    "You can try it on the alchemist side."


    Di Mo Jiu remained silent for a while, and then said slowly.


    Although there were countless cultivating geniuses within Tanas Academy, alchemists were still extremely lacking.


    On the other hand, Jun Qiyan''s talent in alchemy far exceeded the average standards of the East Xuan Continent''s alchemists. At this time, Jun Qianyan was already a second tier alchemist.


    Even if he were to face some fourth year students, he would still have the qualification to battle them, not to mention one year later.


    After Jun Qiyan finished listening to Di Mo Jiu''s analysis, his fighting spirit instantly rose.


    That''s right, how could she have forgotten that she still had her trump card, the Alchemist.


    Seeing the change in Jun Qiyan''s facial expression, Di Mo Jiu smiled helplessly, he didn''t know what to say to this little girl anymore.


    On the second day of school, Jun Qianyan and the others were gathered together by Professor Hydt.


    "You four hundred came to Tanas Academy only after carefully selecting and selecting all of you. From today onwards, your every word and action represent Tanas Academy. I don''t care what your previous status was, but once you''re here, you must abide by the rules."


    Hydt scanned the crowd below with his dignified gaze.


    When they came to Tanas Academy, most of them were children from wealthy families. They had been pampered since they were young, or else they would have been held in the hands of their parents.


    Under the scorching sun, many people were already dizzy and lightheaded, but no one dared to show dissatisfaction.


    It could be said that offending Hei Te was tantamount to offending the highest commander of the Tynes Academy.

 C68

    Although the principal of Tynes Academy was the highest authority, everyone knew that the principal of Tynes Academy was a divine existence that could never be seen. It was already quite impressive for him to appear once every few months.


    As a result, most of the matters in Tanasha Academy were managed by Hei Te.


    Hydt frowned as he looked at the listless freshmen, a hint of disappointment in his eyes.


    These students were getting more and more out of hand with each passing year.


    "Don''t think that you''ll be able to rest easy just because you''ve come to Tanas Academy. You''ll have to undergo a test at the same time in the ranking competition a year from now."


    The moment Hydt''s words left his mouth, the listless crowd felt like they were on stimulants.


    "If you fail to meet the criteria I set for you in the competition one year from now, you''ll still have to scram out of Tanas Academy."


    After Hydt finished speaking, he turned around and left, not looking at the new students who were already flustered in the wind.


    "F * ck, do you have to be so abnormal?!" It took us so much effort to enter Tanas Academy, but we still have to go out?! "


    "Yeah, he really thinks he''s the dean. Why would he expel us?"


    Faced with the complaints of others, Jun Qiyan shrugged her shoulders. Only the weak would be bothered by such matters.


    "Let''s hurry up and go. Class is coming up soon, don''t be late for your first class."


    Feng Chen Lang suddenly squeezed between the two of them and said while smiling. The expression on Di Mo Jiu''s face stiffened. He indifferently glanced at the two people chatting happily beside him, a trace of displeasure flashed across his heart.


    Jun Qiyan had been busy these past few days.


    During the day, he needed to be somewhere between alchemy and cultivation, and at night, he would even need to suffer the torment of some great master.


    As a result, the interaction between Di Mo Jiu and himself was extremely close. As time passed, strange and bizarre rumors began to spread.


    Jun Qiyan paid no heed to this at all.


    "Yes, you did well. To be able to reach this level on your first attempt at Tranquil Heart Pill. Mu Jiu, your future will definitely be limitless!"


    A young man held the pill in his hand with a satisfied expression on his face.


    Jun Qiyan stood obediently at the side with a faint smile on his face.


    There were quite a number of freshmen in the surrounding area, and every one of them looked at Jun Feiyan with an envious expression. This was the most famous master teacher in the Alchemy Division, Grandmaster Blue-Edge, who had praised him before, and it could be said that there had never been more than ten of them in the entire Tanas Academy.


    Apothecaries didn''t just rely on hard work, they also relied on talent. For example, if someone were to succeed once, they would be unable to do so even if they were given ten tries. This was the difference between geniuses and ordinary people.


    After class, Jun Qiyan packed her things and prepared to return to the dormitory.


    "Student Yin, I, I have liked you for a long time."


    Just as Jun Qiyan left the Alchemist Courtyard, he was blocked by a pretty and delicate looking girl. She was holding a large bouquet of fresh flowers and a pink letter in her hand.


    That person was the senior sister of Jun Qiyan at the Alchemy Division. She had also been taken care of by him on a daily basis, but she didn''t expect him to have such thoughts about her.


    I treat you as a brother, and you actually want to fuck me?!


    Jun Qianyan was like a dog in the depths of her heart. It was the first time in her life that someone had confessed to her, and she was actually a girl?!


    Jun Qianyan stiffly pulled out a smile, and tactfully refused:


    "Senior sister, I''m sorry. I already have someone I like."


    Jun Qiyan softly said, but her heart was filled with tears. This was the first time she had experienced such a thing, right?


    He was afraid that the moment he was careless, he would be able to strike a blow on his sister''s fragile heart.


    "You already have someone you like?"


    Cheng Qing said with a face full of distrust: "You obviously never had a opposite sex!"


    Faced with Cheng Qing''s accusations, Jun Qiyan was rendered speechless.


    "Is it because of him!?"


    Suddenly, Cheng Qing pointed at Di Mo Jiu who was standing not far away.


    Di Mo Jiu who was lying on the side also got shot raised his eyebrows, obviously not intending to explain anything.


    "Yes, that''s right! We''ve been together a long time! " Jun Qiyan closed her eyes, looking like she was ready to throw caution to the wind.


    When Jun Qiyan said this, the crowd, who were originally in the mood to watch a good show, suddenly lost their composure. The genius of the Alchemy Division was actually a broken sleeve?


    This was simply the best gossip of the year!


    "Who is that person? I''ve never heard of him."


    "This Yin Muju is one of the top geniuses in the Alchemist Academy. To think that a good cabbage like this would be taken care of by a pig."


    "That''s right. With Yin Muju''s talent, she will definitely be one of the top alchemists in the future. What kind of beauty would she want?" "Why do you have to like men just because you don''t want to?!"


    The discussions of the crowd all ended up in Di Mo Jiu''s ears. Di Mo Jiu looked at the little fox who was still laughing happily, the veins on his forehead were all popping out.


    Good, very good, let''s see how he will deal with her tonight!


    "Just you wait, I''ll definitely challenge you. Yin Muju is mine!"


    Cheng Qing glared fiercely at Di Mo Jiu.


    Faced with the provocation from the man in front of him, Di Mo Jiu''s pale face turned even more unsightly.


    If one thought about his experience like this, it was likely that he would never have the chance to experience it for the rest of his life.


    When Jun Qiyan noticed Di Mo Jiu''s murderous gaze, she shrunk back her neck, wanting to slip away.


    But how could Jiu Zun let him do as he pleased?


    With a few steps forward, he forcefully dragged Jun Qiyan away by the collar.


    "Lord Nine, Lord Nine, I was wrong!"


    Jun Qiyan turned into a quail. She craned her neck to look pitifully at Di Mo Jiu. Having been together with him for so many days, she could tell that her Ninth Master was a man who ate soft but not hard.


    Indeed, when Jun Qiyan''s words came out, Di Mo Jiu''s livid expression eased a bit.


    "Muji."


    It was unknown when Feng Yunlang had arrived in front of Jun Qianyan.


    Feng Chen Lang gave Di Mo Jiu a weird look, then lowered his voice and said to Jun Qiyan, "Is that really the relationship between the two of you?"


    Jun Qiyan was stunned for a moment before she noticed that after Ninth Master''s face had eased up and heard Feng Chenlang''s words, dark clouds had started to cover him again. Her heart was beating faster and faster.


    "I say, what do you like about him? In terms of looks, he doesn''t even have any strength ¡­" "What''s so good about liking him? He''s not even as good as me ¡­"


    Before Feng Chen could finish his words, Di Mo Jiu''s face turned as black as the bottom of a pot. He turned around and went back to the dorm by himself.


    She fiercely glared at Feng Chen Lang, and said with a bit of rage and anger in her voice, "You just have to wait. It''s best if I don''t have the time, otherwise I''ll definitely skin you alive!"


    Feng Chenlang''s body trembled. He didn''t even know what he had done wrong.


    That night, when Jun Qiyan saw that there were twice as many tasks as before, her face stiffened and she felt as if her head was heavy and her feet were light.


    "Ninth Master, you can''t let me go tonight."


    I just stood at the side begging with a pitiful look on my face.


    Di Mo Jiu''s expression changed, but in the end, he still coldly spat out the two words.


    "No."


    Jun Qianyan instantly became furious, "Ninth Elder, please be a bit more humane, you are clearly avenging a personal grudge! It''s naked revenge! "


    Jun Qiyan looked like a fried rabbit at the moment.


    "Oh? Revenge? That''s right, this is a form of public vengeance. " Di Mo Jiu wasn''t angry, but he was smiling, with a look of "what are you trying to do to me?"


    "You can choose to give up. After all, I''m not the one who wants to be in the top ten of the Wind Cloud List."


    As soon as she finished her sentence, the previously spirited and spirited Jun Qianyan instantly turned silent.


    "But can''t we just follow the original set of training methods?!"


    Jun Qiyan folded his hands in front of his chest and made a pleading gesture, hoping that some old man would let him go.


    She could just barely accept the original set of training methods. At the very least, she still had some time to rest.

 C69

    "No." Di Mo Jiu''s face was cold as he bluntly rejected Jun Qianyan''s suggestion.


    The smiling face of Jun Qiyan instantly collapsed as she stared at Di Mo Jiu with a hidden bitterness in her eyes.


    Di Mo Jiu''s face was still as cold as ever.


    Jun Qiyan muttered to himself on the side, "Inhumane."


    Within the Nuwa Stone. Silence.


    The Octadic Snake lay dozing by the tree with the ball and ball in its arms and the Soul Devouring Flame in its human form.


    In the spirit spring, Jun Qiyan''s face was beaded with sweat.


    Perhaps Di Mo Jiu should give a few words of advice.


    At the break of dawn, thunder rumbled from within the Nuwa Stone, waking up those who were still sleeping.


    "Mother."


    Balls rubbed his eyes as he looked at Jun Qianyan sleepily.


    Jun Qiyan exhaled a breath as her light brown eyes slowly opened.


    Solid foundation layer 2.


    The corners of Jun Qiyan''s lips slowly raised in a relaxed expression.


    "Lord Ninth, I''ve improved!"


    Jun Qiyan said with a smile on his face. He didn''t feel the least bit sleepy at all.


    Di Mo Jiu raised his eyebrows; he had long felt that Jun Qiyan was about to improve, that''s why he purposely said that yesterday.


    After her promotion, Jun Qi''s mood became exceptionally cheerful. She had just walked out of the dormitory a few steps by herself.


    Seeing two boys in senior uniform walking towards her, Sister Fu thought that the aisle was narrow, so she was afraid that the three of them wouldn''t be able to walk in the same row. She subconsciously moved closer to the side to make way for the two seniors.


    Not to mention whether he was a newcomer or not, he had to show more respect to his seniors and save the trouble of others chewing on his ears.


    However, those two did not think so.


    Seeing that Jun Qiqi had made way for him, the two of them didn''t just walk past her. Instead, they stared at her as if she were their target, and only stopped when they were still a step away from her.


    Jun Qiqi, you felt that something was wrong, took a deep breath, and frowned as you observed these two seniors, not daring to speak for a long time.


    "Aren''t you that ¡­ What''s his name? "


    After sizing each other up for a moment, the two seniors looked at each other, raised their chin slightly, and looked at Jun Qiqi with disdain. Is that the name? "


    Jun Qiqi, who had been directly called out, felt even more unfriendly. She nodded and asked, "Senior, what''s the matter?"


    "Yo, you seem quite self-aware!"


    One of them laughed out loud, and the contempt in his eyes became even more apparent. The other one also joined in. Tsk tsk tsk tsk ¡­ "As expected of someone with someone''s life in his hands. Judging from his tone, most people would not dare to provoke him!"


    "Then what else?" The two of them didn''t have enough fun talking, they actually stretched out their hands towards Jun Qiqi. "I really feel sorry for you, Fei Fei. I don''t know why I''ve offended you, but you''ve taken my life!"


    When Jun Qiyan heard this, his complexion immediately changed. Fei Fei?


    Wasn''t that the young girl who accidentally fell off the cliff that day? How could these people know?


    Although Jun Qiyan could not be sure what their final goal was, he was sure it was related to Liu Feifei.


    The alarm in Jun Qiqi''s heart rang. She quickly took a big stride away from the two seniors and kept a safe distance from them.


    "Did senior misunderstand something?" Only after standing at a safe distance did Jun Qiqi tell the two of them:


    "I have nothing to do with Liu Fei Fei''s matter. She fell off the cliff by herself."


    "Oh? If it wasn''t for you, Fei Fei, how would you have fallen off the cliff?! " One of them took another step towards Jun Qi Qi, his half-closed eyes were filled with a cold light, and his tone became even more aggressive:


    "Fei Fei is no longer in this world. Whatever you say now, it doesn''t matter. Is there still any law in this world?"


    When he said this, he raised his voice by quite a bit. The matter of Jun Qiyan and Di Mo Jiu being short-sleeved had already spread like wildfire.


    At this moment, this matter had suddenly been brought up in front of so many people, and they were even using such a tone to interrogate her. Suddenly, the surrounding people began to discuss among themselves, and suddenly Jun Qiqi became the center of attention for everyone in the aisle.


    "..." I just said that she slipped and fell off the cliff. " Jun Qiqi came to her senses. She knew that escaping was not an option, so she could only face it head-on. "Why don''t you two believe me? Why do you insist on arguing with me over this?"


    "Do you understand? You know it yourself." The two seniors scoffed, "Yin Muju, aren''t you afraid of retribution for being so black-hearted?"


    Jun Qiyan sneered. Heaven''s wrath? If there really was such a thing in the world, he should''ve killed those heartless people earlier!


    "Since I haven''t done anything shameful, why would I be afraid of divine retribution?"


    After Jun Qiqi had finished speaking, she looked arrogantly around the crowd. She casually tossed her hair and turned around to leave, but one of them quickly pulled her back.


    "What are you doing!"


    Jun Qiqi was a superior student after all, and was very sensitive to close combat. The moment her forearm was grabbed, her instinct made her turn her wrist, and her body immediately turned to face them, as if she was ready to fight.


    "Yo, your temper is pretty good!" The person who reached out his hand to pull Jun Qi was also surprised for a moment, he didn''t think she would have such a huge reaction.


    After calming himself down, he saw Jun Qiqi''s movements clearly and immediately smiled. "What? Look at your posture. Do you still want to fight us?"


    The two of them felt somewhat uneasy as they looked at the faint light radiating from Jun Qiqi''s palms. After all, they didn''t know who she was, but they had been entrusted with the task of putting pressure on her.


    Moreover, the mastermind might be watching from some corner to see if they had completed their mission. They also felt pressured.


    However, Jun Qiqi did not dare to do anything out of line in front of so many people. Only then did they gain some courage, straightening their backs with a mocking smile.


    "As expected of a genius junior, the way she speaks is really different. To actually attack senior without saying a word, that''s really scaring a person to death!"


    "For someone to respect me for a third of a meter while I get others to respect me for a third of a meter ¡­ don''t even seniors understand such a thing?"


    Jun Qiqi was not one to take advantage of her seniority in this manner, and continued to maintain her vigilant attitude. She coldly looked at the two of them, and very impolitely sneered at them:


    "What kind of attitude does senior have towards the younger generation? Everyone will see it for themselves!" Since senior is unwilling to let me go, why should I greet senior with a smile? "


    There was already quite a lot of people watching, but after that commotion just now, it immediately attracted everyone who was not in the same corridor. When they heard that the main character was Yin Muji, a curious expression emerged on all their faces; they all wanted to see what kind of person this "Yin Muji" was.


    "Tut!"


    When they saw Jun Qiqi''s imposing manner, the two men looked at each other and instantly suppressed their arrogance.


    One of them let out an impatient tsk-tsk sound, and the unwillingness in his heart surged up as he reached out his hand to push Jun Qiqi''s shoulder without saying a word.


    Jun Qiqi''s hand stretched out and clamped onto the man''s hand before she could even feel it.


    As a basic level cultivator, the strength that Jun Qianyan possessed was naturally much stronger than that of his peers. His opponent''s carelessness actually caused him some pain.


    The man''s expression changed, and he hurriedly used a magic technique to shake off Jun Qiqi''s hand. His eyes widened in fear, and sweat began to appear on his forehead.


    "Yin Mo Jiu, you are too arrogant!"


    The other person noticed that something was wrong, but in order to suppress Jun Qiqi, he pulled back his throat and loudly shouted, "You''re still a junior, yet you dare to attack your senior in front of the eyes of so many people!"


    At the sound of his voice, the bystanders in the back didn''t see what was going on in front of them. They only heard what he said, and started to criticize Jun Qiqi for her disrespect.


    The crowd immediately became restless. All sorts of accusations were directed at her from the back row to the front row, causing her to feel even more annoyed. She had already been stuck in a traffic jam, so she had no choice but to get annoyed.


    "Everyone has their eyes on me. In the beginning, I gave way to you all, but now you say that I''m being disrespectful. Aren''t you bullying me?"


    Although she really wanted to take care of these two, her reason told her that now was not the right time. Therefore, she could only restrain her temper and shout loudly: "Firstly, the one who will make a move first is not me; secondly, the one who will make a move first is also not me ¡ª this is called self-defense, how can I be so arrogant?"


    Jun Qiqi''s words were inexplicably persuasive. Those who had been discussing her earlier words immediately shut their mouths. The two were also frightened stiff. They felt as if Jun Qiqi''s aura had become stronger with just a few words.


    "Look at your attitude right now, how come you''re not arrogant?"


    Although both of them were guilty, they couldn''t afford to lose. They secretly braced themselves, but the person who didn''t come into contact with Jun Qiqi took the initiative to spit out some harsh words, "Since you dare to make a move under the watchful eyes of so many people, you must not be afraid, right?"


    "Oh? "So that''s how it is ¡­"


    When Jun Qiqi heard this, she finally reacted. The corner of her mouth rose as she withdrew her dangerous aura, looked at them with interest, and leisurely said, "So senior was here for this purpose ¡­ Why didn''t you say so earlier? It would''ve been better if you hadn''t provoked the attention of so many people. It would''ve been such a waste of time! "


    Although Jun Qiqi was a newcomer, she knew that students were not allowed to fight in private. However, they were allowed to compete in the ring in the name of sparring.


    This was probably what these people were thinking.


    "In a few days, there will be an arena battle between men, so let''s have a fight!"


    "It''s no problem, whoever doesn''t come will be the grandson!" Jun Qiyan raised her chin, looking completely fearless.


    That person didn''t seem afraid at all. When he saw Jun Qiqi''s confident look, he gave her a provocative raise of his chin and continued, "Don''t speak so loudly right now. You should be afraid of the stage at the crucial moment!"


    "Isn''t it just the arena battle?"


    Seeing that the people around her still had puzzled expressions, Jun Qiqi couldn''t be bothered to speak any more nonsense with these two. She put her hands in front of her chest, withdrew the mocking expression on her face, and said word by word: "In the arena battle three days from now, I, Yin Muji, will be the first to challenge you!"


    As soon as Jun Qiqi finished her sentence, the crowd suddenly burst into an uproar ¡ª ¡ª The arena battle in the academy wasn''t a joke. Many people had died and were injured, while Jun Qiqi, the new junior, had actually challenged the seniors who had been training here for several years!


    No matter how strong or talented someone was in the Upper Sky Realm, they would not dare to play with him.


    "Hey, Jun Qiqi, are you serious?"


    In the crowd, some people couldn''t help but ask this question, but Jun Qiqi didn''t pay any attention to it.


    "Otherwise? Since senior wants to test my strength so much, how can it be reasonable if I don''t keep my promise? After all, you can''t possibly be accused of being disrespectful to your senior just because he''s a pigeon, right? "

 C70

    "It''s a deal!"


    The two of them looked at each other and laughed at the same time.


    Since they had completed their mission, they had no reason to continue attracting the attention of the crowd. They turned around and left.


    "Muji, are you crazy!"


    Just as the two people left, Feng Chenlang came over in a hurry: "Are you crazy? That was a second-year senior! And those two people are obviously here to cause trouble. "


    After Feng Chenlang finished his speech, his brows furrowed before he continued, "And that''s Jiang Fan, ranked 54th in the second grade rankings."


    "Why are you panicking? Since I dared to agree to them, naturally, I have some confidence. "


    Facing Feng Chenlang''s concern, Jun Qiqi also stopped her vigilance and caution, and replied with a smile, "It''s precisely because they''re here for me that I can''t refuse them. Otherwise, I don''t even know what the consequences will be!"


    "Are you stupid!?" "He''s usually so smart, but now his brain isn''t enough for him!"


    Feng Chenlang glared at Jun Feiyan with a face full of hesitation. In the end, he placed his hand on his forehead and sighed, "Have you ever thought that they were instructed to humiliate you? When the time comes, they might not be the ones to appear in the arena! "


    Jun Qiqi was stunned for a moment, and couldn''t help but feel a bit surprised in her heart. This Feng Chenlang usually didn''t look like he was in control, but his brain was actually better than hers!


    However, Jun Qianyan was silent for only two seconds. Then, without a change in expression, he spat out a sentence, "Who cares who it was. I''ve already released the words so I definitely won''t show mercy."


    Jun Qi Qi''s words left Feng Chenlang at a loss for words as he lamented repeatedly. He originally wanted to advise his a little more, but then his eyes shifted and he saw that Grandmaster Qing Yun was hurriedly walking in the direction of Jun Qi.


    Before he could even warn Jun Qi Qi, he heard a furious roar, "Yin Mo Jiu, get over here!"


    Jun Qiqi was startled by the sudden shout from her teacher. Like many other students, she didn''t even raise her eyes to look at her teacher. She was already walking towards the direction of the Grandmaster.


    However, this was not enough ¡­


    Jun Qiqi obediently stopped in front of him, but the onlookers still looked on helplessly. Grandmaster Blue-Edge raised his voice and roared: "Disperse. What are you all looking at? Hurry back to your lessons!"


    The surrounding people were basically freshmen. After being yelled at by Grandmaster Qing Yun, they all seemed to lose their courage and scattered in fear. Even Feng Chenlang, who had held Jun Qi''s hand confidently a moment ago, curled his lips and ran away as if he had escaped.


    "Teacher."


    Seeing that the crowd had dispersed, the crowded and lively aisle suddenly became deserted and quiet. Looking at Jun Qiqi, she felt a sense of unease. In her heart, there was still a sense of fear and awe towards her mentor.


    "Otherwise?" The Green Edge Grandmaster glared furiously at Jun Qiqi, "Look at what you''ve just done!"


    "Huh?" Jun Qiqi was stunned, but quickly recovered. "I didn''t do anything, I just ¡­" "I chatted with senior a little bit ¡­"


    "Did you say you were chatting for a while?"


    The instructor was so angry that he blew at his beard. He raised his hand and slapped Jun Qiqi''s head as he scolded,


    "How long have you been here? Ah? He dared to enter the arena so quickly? Furthermore, he was an upperclassman! Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you have some talent? "


    The slap on Jun Qiqi''s head made her a bit confused. She rubbed her head and replied honestly, "But they''ve bullied me. I can''t just let them do whatever they want, can I? And I just had some contact with them, it seems... "That''s all ¡­"


    "You still dare to talk back?"


    She raised her hand again, and Jun Qiqi unconsciously took a step back, dodging the hand that was about to land on her head.


    "You ¡­"


    Seeing that Jun Qiqi had deliberately avoided her attack, the expression of the Green Edge Grandmaster instantly changed. Sensing that something was amiss, Jun Qiqi hurriedly moved back to her mentor, and said with a smile, "Please don''t be angry. I know what I''m doing. I won''t act recklessly."


    "What reckless actions? I''m not afraid of you messing around. I''m afraid of you messing around!" Do you know who that was?! " Grandmaster Green Edge asked angrily.


    Jun Qiyan blinked innocently and said, "I know, Jiang Fan is at the 54th level, right?"


    The Green Edge Grandmaster Jian Qiyan''s expression was one that one would not know of, and he was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at Chu Feng.


    "You dare to act so recklessly even when you know it?" Your talent in alchemy is unrivalled, but this is not a alchemy competition! Just a brittle pharmacist who fought against a cultivator, did your brain get flooded today? "


    With the exception of the previous incident where he dodged, this time, Grandmaster Qing Yun did not choose to directly pat Jun Qi''s head. Instead, he pushed her shoulder and taught her a lesson in a low voice:


    "No matter what you said just now, you are just being impulsive. As for the matter in the arena, forget it. There is no need to regret it in the future because of a moment of impulse."


    How could Jun Qiqi not understand that Grandmaster Bluemoon was preventing her from entering the arena? Frowning, she replied, "A prince''s words make it difficult to chase after a horse, not to mention there were so many people watching just now. If I didn''t go, wouldn''t I become their laughingstock?"


    "That''s still better than losing your life!"


    Hearing Jun Qiqi''s decisive rejection, the Green Edge Grandmaster was both angry and anxious. He did not continue to beat around the bush with her, and directly said:


    "You are a newcomer, so you are naturally unclear about the situation on that stage. Countless deaths and injuries have occurred over the years, and you are a good seed that is hard to come by. I don''t want you to die like this!"


    "Thank you for your kind intentions, Master." It was the first time that Jun Qiqi had heard the heartfelt words of his master. Despite being moved, he did not forget to reject him, "However, Mo Jiu truly knows his limits and will definitely not let himself be injured. Please rest assured, master."


    Now that the conversation had come to this point, the instructor understood that Jun Qi Qi had made up her mind as well and couldn''t be persuaded anymore. He could only helplessly sigh, nod in agreement, and then hastily change the topic:


    "As for the matter of the arena, it''s good that you know what to do. However, before that happens, I have a mission for you."


    It wasn''t easy for her master to loosen his grip on the task, and Jun Qiqi let out a sigh of relief. She quickly asked for the task. "Please speak."


    "Today, I heard that someone had come to report that something strange has happened in the Medicine Valley. Currently, the students I have are all undertaking other missions, and you''re the one with the most free time."


    The instructor shot a glance at Jun Qiqi, and said in a muffled voice, "Consider this as a training exercise before going up the arena. This time''s mission, I''ll leave it to you!"


    "Is it the medicine valley behind the western mountain?"


    His face darkened, and he blurted out, "I don''t know how many things we have to do to prepare for the investigation, but it will take a whole day just to get to the academy ¡ª Master, you did this on purpose, didn''t you?"


    When he heard that Jun Qiqi had directly revealed her purpose for coming here, the Green Edge Grandmaster''s expression became somewhat unsightly.


    Just as Jun Qiqi had thought, he had indeed wanted to transfer her away so that she could deal with the big trouble of the Challenge Tournament herself. But Jun Qiqi was able to tell at a glance that something was amiss, and her words were filled with rejection.

 C71

    "Why would I be willing to let you transfer me away and take care of it yourself?"


    Without much courtesies, Jun Qiqi once again righteously rejected Master Cyan''s good intentions and solemnly said, "I know that you''re thinking for my safety, but this is also a problem that I''ve caused. I''ll have to resolve it myself, or else those people probably wouldn''t let this go."


    After hearing Jun Qiqi''s words, the Green Edge Grandmaster''s face turned even darker. This time, she was almost going to attack Jun Qiqi again.


    However, Jun Qiqi''s imposing aura wasn''t the slightest bit inferior to that of Grandmaster Qing Yun. She opened her eyes wide in fear that if she tried to dodge a little, her opponent would mistake her for a compromise.


    The two of them stared at each other for a while. In the end, they still compromised. After a heavy sigh, they helplessly and angrily said, "Forget it, forget it. Your temper is really stubborn!"


    Seeing that she had finally given up, Jun Qiqi let out a sigh of relief. "It''s all because you love me."


    "Stop flattering me!"


    Qing Duo glared angrily at Jun Qiqi, obviously not accepting her actions. He changed his words and said, "Speaking of which, I agree that you should participate in the arena battle. It''s not like you should be unprepared."


    "There''s a library in the East District of the academy. I''ll give you my authority now, so hurry up and borrow some books to learn before the Challenge Tournament begins. Otherwise, you won''t even know how you''ll die when the time comes!"


    Jun Qiqi''s pupils constricted and her heart tightened ¡­ The Eastern Courtyard''s library was the most mysterious and the biggest library in the academy. She had heard that people without authority were not allowed to enter.


    Even though Qingya''s tone sounded very disdainful of Jun Qiqi''s appearance, Jun Qiqi understood that Grandmaster Qingliang simply wanted to give her a higher chance of winning to encourage her. As for her gratitude, she felt a bit more touched, so she gave a perfect 90 degree bow to Qingliang and said: "Thank you, Qingya!"


    Qing Yun shot a glance at Jun Qiqi, and sternly said, "Hurry up and prepare for it. I hope you really have some sense of propriety."


    Jun Qiqi''s heart rose to her throat, her eyes filled with anticipation and excitement.


    The morning''s lesson was over. Jun Qiqi was completely immersed in her curiosity towards the Compendium Pavilion, and also in her anticipation for the Challenge Tournament. She had finally finished her day''s lesson and rushed to the Compendium Pavilion before it was too late in the night.


    However, due to the lack of time, she didn''t have the time to study the size of the library. She hurried through the rows and rows of bookshelves, trying her best to find books that were beneficial to her.


    In the short span of three days, she had to read more books. Other than the necessary studies, she didn''t even let go of her psychology books. She only wanted to learn as much as possible so that she could be more confident in the arena competition.


    Jun Qiqi sat cross-legged on the ground, flipping through the pages of the thick books one after another. She didn''t know how much time had passed, but her eyes suddenly felt a burst of pain, and she couldn''t help but put down the books in her hands. She stretched out a hand to rub her eyes, and saw that she had finished reading more than ten books on cultivation.


    "So tired ¡­"


    Jun Qiqi let out a long breath as she raised her head to look at the colorful glazed ceiling of the library. Although she looked stunning at first glance, after spending so much time with it, coupled with her night of reading, her eyes were worn out to the extreme. She didn''t feel that it was beautiful at all, and instead felt a sense of annoyance and disgust.


    "Are you tired now?"


    A burst of laughter rang out from behind her. Jun Qiqi was stunned for a moment. She turned her head to see that Blue-Edge had appeared out of nowhere and was standing behind her.


    "Why are you here?" Jun Qiqi hurriedly stood up. "At this time, you ¡­" Shouldn''t they be in class? "


    "If you''re tired, then rest for a bit. Don''t let your mood collapse."


    Green Edge did not answer his question. After glancing at the messy book on the floor, he frowned slightly and instructed again, "Remember to put it back after reading. This mess, what does it look like!"


    Jun Qiqi was somewhat speechless at her words, but after looking down at the book she had flipped through, she rubbed the back of her head in embarrassment and replied, "I understand, I will pay attention."


    "In addition to the books on cultivation, there are also books on psychology. You should also browse through the books on tactics."


    Greenedge glanced at the name of the book, bent down, and picked up a book. After flipping through it, he reminded him worriedly, "For someone like you who''s trying to fend for yourself for the time being, it''s not necessary. Even if you''re reading a book, you still have to learn how to pick the important points."


    "Yes," Jun Qiqi nodded. "Thank you for your teachings."


    Perhaps it was because he was in a hurry to return to class. After saying a few words to her, Qing Yun returned the book to Jun Qiqi''s hand, turned around, and quickly left.


    Jun Qiqi moved her sore neck and sat down on the ground. She took the book that had been given to her by Qingfeng and prepared to start a new round of struggle.


    She didn''t know how long she sat there, but she felt her legs go numb. She wanted to ignore him, but her feet seemed to have a strong opinion about her staying in the same position for a long time.


    Jun Qiqi stretched her feet out in an attempt to ease the pain of her cramping, but she forgot that there was a pile of books at her feet. With a "Hua La" sound, a pile of books that was as tall as a man''s body was kicked down and scattered on the ground.


    "Ah ¡­" So annoying! "


    Jun Qiqi was already upset. When she saw the book that she had kicked down, she felt even more depressed. She wailed in grief as she stood up and rubbed her numb feet. Then, as if she had to resign herself to her fate, she picked up the books one by one and folded them up.


    Less than ten books had been placed, but Jun Qiqi was suddenly attracted by the title of the book beside her.


    "Illusion Technique?"


    The moment she saw the title, Jun Qiqi was also stunned.


    In her memory, she had never seen anyone use this kind of magic. Even when she heard about it, she had never heard about it. Now that she saw it, her curiosity was piqued. She immediately threw the idea of collecting the books aside, picked up the book, and began to read.


    According to the list of books, illusions were ranked higher and higher. Jun Qiqi was suddenly enlightened by the mention of basic illusions in the beginning. She realized that there were already many basic illusions that had permeated into the books.


    Jun Qiqi couldn''t help but turn the page of the intermediate level illusion technique. As she turned over a few pages, her eyes suddenly lit up. An illusion technique could actually turn an enemy standing in front of her into a lover?


    If he could learn this technique, then wouldn''t he be able to defeat her in the arena battle three days later?

 C72

    Jun Qiqi suppressed the pleasant surprise within her heart and closed the book. She tried to recall the method of using the illusion techniques in the book, and silently read the words reflected in the book.


    "You want to use this method to win the match?" In his divine sense, a certain old man held his arm and slowly said.


    Jun Qiyan was speechless. Before she could retort, Di Mo Jiu had already cut off all of her thoughts.


    "This illusion technique is not easy to cultivate. If you want to cultivate in a short period of time, it''s impossible. It''s fine to learn some basic techniques, but it''s obviously impossible to deal with an expert like Jiang Fan."


    Di Mo Jiu''s cold voice continued.


    Just as Jun Qiyan wanted to say something, the voice in his ear pulled him back into reality.


    "Hey, Muji!"


    The book fell to the ground with a "pa da" sound. She opened her eyes and looked at the approaching figure. When she saw Chen Qing, she let out a sigh of relief and asked, "Why are you here?"


    Jun Qiyan hadn''t seen him since the confession incident. He hadn''t expected to run into him here.


    But then, Jun Qiqi felt something strange. She lowered her head and looked fixedly at Cheng Qing, asking, "You need authority to enter the library ¡ª so the question is, how did you get in?"


    According to Jun Qiqi''s knowledge, although Cheng Qing was her senior, his strength couldn''t be considered strong, so the instructor didn''t have any intention of giving her authority. But now, she had actually appeared in front of her.


    "Of course, I have the right to enter!"


    Cheng Qing looked arrogantly at Jun Qiqi, and snorted without a care. However, when he saw that she still had a stern expression on her face, he didn''t continue joking around. He took out a pass from his pocket and waved it at her.


    Jun Qiqi was even more confused. "Pass along a message?"


    "Do you think so?" Cheng Qing rolled his eyes at Jun Qiqi and snorted, "Do you think that everyone is like you, able to come here and study?"


    Jun Qiqi lightly smiled and quickly changed the topic. "Stop talking nonsense. Who are you trying to pass the message to me on?"


    "Instructor, who else would give me a pass?"


    Afraid that Jun Qiqi might still doubt her identity, Cheng Qing took out his pass and waved it a few times, and then leisurely said, "Master has matters to attend to, she has to leave in a hurry, and will only be able to return the day after tomorrow. So let me inform you, I''ll have you go to the back of the mountain tomorrow to take care of the caged spirit beasts and herbs."


    "That''s it?"


    Jun Qiqi slightly frowned. She was wondering to herself what had just happened, ''Didn''t Qingfeng say she was going to the Medicine Valley? But why did she go to the back mountain now?''


    Jun Qiyan''s group glanced at Cheng Qing, but the other didn''t seem to be lying, so Jun Qiqi wasn''t too alert. She casually asked, "Alright, I''ll be there tomorrow."


    "Then please!" Cheng Qing put away his pass and patted Jun Qiqi''s shoulder, smiling as he said, "You better not cause any problems. I heard that the spirit beasts and herbs at the back of the mountain are all very expensive. They''re all essential items for the students to cultivate ¡­" "You really must be careful. Otherwise, if something happens, both you and the instructor will receive ¡­"


    "Pei pei pei, can you shut your crow''s beak for me?"


    Jun Qiqi glared at Cheng Qing unhappily, and waved her hands as if shooing away a fly, complaining, "Do I look like such an imprudent person?"


    "That''s true." Cheng Qing smiled gently, "Otherwise, Teacher would not have instructed you to go."


    Jun Qiqi didn''t say anything. She sat down in a different position and also took out the book in her hands.


    "..." Alright, you can continue with your work then. I''ll be leaving first. "


    Seeing that Jun Qiqi didn''t have the time to pay attention to him, Cheng Qing tactfully added, "You have to do your best, otherwise, if you lose in the arena battle, you''ll lose a lot of face!"


    "I don''t need you to remind me!"


    Jun Qiqi didn''t pay any attention to Cheng Qing as she walked further and further away. She grumpily replied. She couldn''t help feeling a bit depressed in her heart. What''s going on with this person today? Why did he suddenly say so much?


    After walking past the rows of bookshelves, Cheng Qing arrived at the door of the Compendium Pavilion. After returning the one-time pass to the librarian in charge of the Compendium Pavilion, he turned right after walking out of the door and headed straight for the teaching building of the senior year.


    Cheng Qing took a deep breath and closed his eyes. He muttered something to himself and opened his eyes again. Only then did he dare to walk out of the stairwell and walk straight to the end of the corridor.


    At the end of the corridor stood a tall and slender woman. Behind her stood the two men who had challenged Jun Qiqi to a duel. When they heard the sound of approaching footsteps, the three men''s gazes immediately shifted from downstairs to Cheng Qing.


    "How is it?"


    The woman''s eyes glanced at Cheng Qing, and the two behind her knew what was going on. They quickly asked, "What did he say?"


    "You can rest assured that he agreed." Cheng Qing smiled. The outline of his face started to change at an imperceptible speed, "And he doesn''t suspect my identity.


    When Xiao Jian and Jiang Fan saw the changes in Fu Zihan''s appearance, they swallowed their saliva and lamented the magic of the illusion in their hearts.


    "Very good."


    Liu Wen smiled sweetly, he touched Fu Zihan''s face and laughed: "You are truly worthy of being called Zi Hai, the moment you attacked, I knew that you would definitely succeed! It''s not like those two trash! "


    As he said that, his eyes suddenly turned behind him, and his gaze instantly became sharp, his tone becoming even colder to the point of making others tremble, "He wasted so much words to make him agree! And you even attracted the attention of the coaches, how troublesome! "


    After hearing this, Jiang Fan and Xiao Jian immediately lowered their heads, although the strength of the two of them were not weak, but in the face of Liu Wen''s rebuke, they did not even dare to raise their heads, and could only lower their heads to exchange glances, seeing the helplessness in each other''s eyes.


    They had previously heard about Yin Muji''s strength. Although he had purple spiritual roots, he was only at Qi Disciple level 7. Jiang Fan, who had broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage, was naturally more than enough to deal with Yin Muju.


    Meanwhile, Liu Wen''s strength and Fu Zihan''s strength were far above them, so even if they had to help these two people, they would still have to act as a punching bag. They did not dare to be angry, nor did they dare to say anything, and could only lower their heads and silently endure Liu Wen''s mockery.


    "Don''t worry about them. He has already promised to enter the mountain. We''ll just do our best to take the next step."


    Fu Zihan was no longer as green as before. His face had already returned to its original state. He squinted his eyes and glanced at Jiang Fan and Xiao Jian. While sneering, he reached out his hand to pinch Liu''s chin to tease them.


    "Don''t worry," Liu smiled and pushed Fu Zihan''s hand away and whispered into his ear, "After you succeed, you will have everything you want."


    The two seniors immediately sucked in a breath of cold air. While they were envious of Fu Zihan''s talent, they could do nothing about it ¨C Fu Zihan was a genius who had cultivated an illusion technique, and now that it had been put to use, he had completely tricked Yin Muju. Right now, all they could do was let Yin Muju take the blame.


    Liu acted as if she was afraid that Fu Zihan would make any more excessive demands, and after she had made a perfunctory response, she left in the name of preparing the next step.


    Looking at Liu''s beautiful figure that had left, the three men''s gazes were all drawn over, unable to return back to him for a long time. The two seniors in particular were especially captivated, but when their eyes met Fu Zihan''s ice-cold gaze, they immediately sobered up, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over their heads.


    "I ¡­"


    The two of them swallowed at the same time, and before they could say anything else, they were sent flying by a powerful impact into the wall. Then they heard Fu Zihan''s angry shout, "Think of your identities ¡ª do you even deserve to see them?"


    Fu Zihan liked Liu, too. This was something the entire grade knew. Fu Zihan had clearly noticed their gazes earlier.


    "Right... I''m sorry! We didn''t do it on purpose! "


    The two of them pressed against the wall. The immense pressure made them feel as if their bodies were about to be torn apart. They were in excruciating pain, and they could only apologize to Fu Zihan over and over again. We really did not do it on purpose! "


    "Oh? "So, you mean to say, also tick/lure you?"


    The veins on Fu Zihan''s body bulged out as an invisible hand grabbed both of them off the wall and threw them heavily onto the ground!


    "No ¡­" "It''s not ¡­"


    The two of them felt like their organs were about to be crushed by the impact and subconsciously begged for mercy, "We know we''re wrong! There''s no next time, please forgive us for your magnanimity! "


    "Think about your identities. Are you even qualified?"


    Hearing their promise, Fu Zihan stopped, but his eyes were still full of disdain as he looked down at them. "I''m worried about you guys entering the mountain alone, so quickly follow me and take a look. If there''s even the tiniest bit of damage, I''ll cripple your cultivations!"

    A thin layer of fog shrouded the forest, and the atmosphere was extremely refreshing. Jun Qiqi instantly forgot about her previous tiring day in the library.


    According to Di Mo Jiu''s message last night, Jun Qiqi also had a rough estimation of the characteristics of the spirit beasts and herbs growing in the back mountain. Right now, she was like a small fry sent by the King of Mountains to patrol the mountain, running all over the place, taking care of the spirit beasts and herbs one by one.


    It wasn''t until the sun had set and the sky was almost completely dark that Jun Qiqi ran around the back of the mountain again to make sure that the spirit beasts and herbs weren''t acting abnormally. Only then did she feel at ease to go down the mountain.


    But the next day, before Jun Qiqi could recover from her fatigue from running errands, she heard a burst of noise coming from outside the door. Before she could open her eyes to complain, the door was suddenly kicked open by someone, and immediately after, she heard someone shout loudly in her ear, "Muji, don''t sleep, something''s happened!"


    "What happened?"


    Jun Qiqi drowsily opened her eyes. Her first thought was that someone had come looking for her the day before yesterday, so she asked, "Who was it that came looking for her?"


    "You''ll know when you go and take a look!" The man pushed Jun Qiqi away in a hurry, trying to wake her from her sleep. "Get up! Your mentor is also having a headache over this matter. Quickly go over and give everyone an explanation! "


    The two words "mentor" and "everyone" had provoked Jun Qiqi, who seemed to realize the severity of the loss of her composure. She no longer had any intention of sleeping, and didn''t have the time to ask what was the matter, so she opened her eyes, lifted her quilt, and jumped off the bed to wash up.


    As she opened the door and walked out, Jun Qiqi noticed the gazes that were focused on her. Her brows were knitted tighter and tighter, and she couldn''t help but mumble to herself about what had happened.


    Before she could reach the instructor''s office, Jun Qiqi saw a large group of people blocking the teacher''s door from afar. She shouted loudly one after another,


    "Yin Mo Jiu is shameless!" You actually stole the herbs for your own selfish desire! "


    "Take away the herbs that are useful, destroy the herbs that are useless ¡­" Our cultivation progress has been completely destroyed by her. Master, you have to punish her severely today.


    "For the sake of winning the Challenge Tournament three days later, Yin Mo Jiu did whatever it takes to do such a shameless thing! It''s really unforgivable. We asked for the academy''s punishment of Jun Qiqi in our joint name! "


    The shouts of the crowd came one after another, causing Jun Qiqi to understand the situation. Her brows couldn''t help but furrow even more. She was obviously fine when she left yesterday, but how did such a big thing happen in just one night?


    "Look!" Yin Muji is here! "


    There were dozens of pairs of eyes that turned towards Jun Qiqi at the same time. Before Jun Qiqi could react, she heard another shout from the crowd. "Yin Muju, compensate us with the medicinal herbs and pay us back for our progress in cultivation!"


    Following the shout, the crowd started to shout as well.


    Jun Qiqi had already recovered from her bewilderment. After coldly sweeping her eyes over the crowd, she could finally understand what they meant. It was as if she was putting all the blame on herself.


    And the most important thing was that someone had done something behind the scenes, and now he was throwing the blame to her!


    "Everyone, quiet down!"


    Perhaps it was because he was so annoyed by the commotion outside that the instructor opened his office door and walked out. He glanced at Jun Qiqi, then turned to the crowd and coldly ordered, "Let''s see what you two are like now!" "He looks like a student from Tanasha Academy?"


    After the instructor finished his cold drink, his gaze finally fell upon Jun Qiqi.


    Jun Qiqi only glanced at him once, and then obediently walked over to her teacher''s side, obediently standing there. However, her eyes were repeatedly looking at the crowd.


    Since someone wanted to frame him, he had to hide in the crowd in order to make a fool of himself!


    The instructor glanced at Jun Qiqi and gave an expressionless snort, "Since the person involved is here, then allow the person involved to say a few words!"


    Jun Qiqi pursed her lips. A while later, she noticed that a girl''s shoes were still stained with dirt, but in order to not alert her of the danger, she didn''t directly say it out loud. She simply replied,


    "I am not the one who stole and destroyed the herbs. They were still in good shape when I left the back mountain yesterday, but I can assure you that I will find a way to explain everything within a few days."


    "How many days? Is this your plan to delay the war? "


    Just as Jun Qiqi finished speaking, voices of opposition rose up from the crowd. "And for you to investigate the truth, isn''t that obviously a thief calling for a thief? "Then what''s the point of investigating? Whether it''s right or wrong will be up to you."


    Jun Qiqi originally wanted to let this matter pass so that she could calm her heart and face tomorrow''s arena battle, but she didn''t expect that these people would not let this matter go. Helpless, she could only pretend that she didn''t know anything and ask:


    "Then tell me first, what is the situation with the herbs?"


    After Jun Qiqi finished speaking, she swept her gaze across the crowd and noticed that the girl whose shoes were stained with dirt had a slightly evasive look in her eyes. A cold smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.


    "I heard you speak very loudly just now. You must be the one with the most evidence, right? "Then come out and tell me, what did you see with the destroyed herbs?"


    Seeing that Jun Qiqi had directly called out her name, and that her teacher was still watching from above, he wanted her to say in front of so many people that the girl was also a little afraid of the stage, but the look in her teacher''s eyes implied that she had no choice but to bite the bullet and go up.


    Although she was a bit nervous in her heart, in order to not let the people below see any flaws, the first sentence that the girl said was directly directed at Jun Qiqi, saying:


    "Do you think others can''t tell that you dug out the most useful inner stalk of the Soul-Rejuvenation Grass? And those seven-colored cotton, they were an essential part of cultivation! You know that the Challenge Tournament is tomorrow, so you destroyed the seven-colored cotton to prevent others from cultivating. Naturally, you will not be able to win! "


    The female student indignantly said as she pointed her finger at Jun Qiqi. From the looks of it, she was also very confident. Thus, the crowd once again burst into an uproar.


    Jun Qiqi looked at the girl in understanding, but very quickly, she lowered her head to look at her uniform, and very suddenly blurted out a sentence, "This big sister ¡­ Are you a senior? "


    "So what?" The girl was also very surprised by Jun Qiqi''s words. She frowned and glared back at her. "It''s exactly because I''m a senior that I want to teach you, a freshman who doesn''t know the rules, a lesson!"


    Being shouted at by a girl. Jun Qiqi purposefully froze for a moment, then dejectedly replied, "Then does senior know that we''ve only just entered the academy, and that we can only learn herbal medicine in the second year?"


    The scene instantly became silent, and even the girl was stunned. She obviously didn''t know why Jun Qiqi would suddenly say such a thing.


    "Senior just said that I stole some useful herbs and even destroyed the necessary herbs for cultivation ¡­ But those herbs, I don''t even know their names, much less their uses! "


    Jun Qiqi blinked her eyes and said with an innocent expression:


    "In comparison, senior knows much more about this than I do. Furthermore, senior has immediately pushed all the responsibility onto me ¡­" "Did I make elder sister unhappy in the past, to the point where senior sister has such a huge opinion of me?"


    Jun Qiqi''s words stunned everyone present. In this situation where no one was following the rhythm of the battle, apart from being confused, they also slowly began to wake up. Jun Qiqi didn''t know anything. How could he possibly destroy medicinal plants?


    "Indeed, she didn''t learn about medicinal herbs until the second year. Jun Qiqi has only just entered the academy, so she hasn''t had any contact with it."


    If Jun Qiqi''s words were an excuse for him, then her words were much more convincing.


    The scene suddenly changed, and the girl began to panic. She pointed at Jun Feiqi and continued, "I personally saw him go to the library for a day, and saw so many valuable books inside. He read them for so long, who knows how many things he''ll know!"


    "Oh? Senior is a complete stranger to me, how do you know me so well? "


    Jun Qiqi couldn''t help but retort after hearing what the girl said. She looked disdainfully at the girl and said, "Senior, this is really ¡­" They''re paying special attention to me! "


    Jun Qiqi emphasized the words "especially concerned", implying that this person had evil intentions.


    The crowd immediately understood, and looked at the girl with even more contempt than before. The teacher was even more direct, raised his hand, and ordered: "This person''s words have a lot of mistakes, it''s really suspicious! Take her away quickly, I want to interrogate her! "


    Hearing the words of the coaches, the girl knew that she was doomed this time. She could only be blocked by two tall and sturdy people, one in front and the other behind. She obediently followed them towards the designated interrogation room.


    Jun Qiqi coldly watched as the girl was taken away. Although she didn''t know the girl''s name, her attitude towards her had left a deep impression in her mind. Moreover, when the girl was taken away, her hidden bitterness was deeply engraved in her mind.


    "Hey, do you know that senior sister?"


    The crowd gradually dispersed. Seeing that the instructor had returned to the office to continue his work, Jun Qi Qi couldn''t bear to disturb him, so she could only grab hold of the boy who was walking slowly towards them and asked in a low voice. But in order to prevent others from feeling suspicious, she chose to ask tactfully:


    "I don''t think that senior is a bad person. I want to help her ¡­" Can you tell me who she is? "Then I can find someone to help her."


    "If she did it, I don''t think she''s worthy of help!" The boy snorted disdainfully, his eyes filled with disdain, but he still enthusiastically answered Jun Qiqi''s question:


    "I don''t know her name. I only know that she and Liu have a good relationship and are often together. She can be said to be a close friend who can be said to be inseparable."

 C74

    However, she still didn''t understand. Logically speaking, only her friends and coaches knew that she went to the back mountain yesterday, so why would that girl also know about it? Furthermore, she even found an opportunity to plot against her?


    The more she thought about it, the more she felt that something wasn''t right. She felt as if everything that had happened in the past two days had been deliberately arranged by someone, causing her head to hurt.


    Helpless, Jun Qiqi had no choice but to go to Cheng Qing and ask him about the matter of her going to the back mountain yesterday, hoping to find some clues.


    It took a while for Jun Qiqi to knock on the door of Cheng Qing''s room, but when she saw that the person who opened the door still had a face full of sleep, she couldn''t help but make him feel surprised.


    "You, you, what are you doing here?!"


    Cheng Qing didn''t feel sleepy at all when he saw the newcomer. Ever since the last incident, Cheng Qing had deliberately avoided Jun Qianyan. Now that Jun Qianyan had suddenly appeared in front of him, he was obviously quite surprised.


    Jun Qiyan''s eyebrows slightly knitted together. He did not expect the other party''s reaction to be so intense.


    Cheng Qing paused for a long time before opening his mouth. She rubbed her head and asked uncomfortably, "Is something wrong?"


    "You also know that something has happened?" Jun Qiqi let out a sigh of relief, then rolled her eyes at Cheng Qing and snorted. "I''m asking you, you came to me yesterday and said that my master told me to go to the back of the mountain. Does anyone else know?"


    "Yesterday? "What happened yesterday?"


    Cheng Qing was stunned for a moment. With a frown, he looked at Jun Qiqi in confusion and asked, "Yesterday ¡­" Have you seen me? "


    Cheng Qing''s words stunned Jun Qiqi for a moment, and she subconsciously blurted out, "You''re still awake aren''t you? Didn''t you come to the Compendium Pavilion to look for me yesterday? "


    "I don''t have any ¡­"


    Cheng Qing was also stupefied by the question, and the awkwardness from before was swept away. She looked at Jun Qiqi with a bit of hidden bitterness and depression.


    "I was cultivating in the backyard all day yesterday. Why would I look for you? Furthermore, doesn''t entering the Compendium Pavilion require authority or a pass?


    He had fallen into a trap!


    Jun Qiqi suddenly recalled the illusion she saw in the library yesterday ¡ª apart from the appearance of the person she loved, there was also a more fundamental one ¡ª the appearance of the person who was trusted by the caster!


    "..." "Alright, I understand."


    After a few more troublesome things had been linked up, Jun Qiqi suddenly understood everything. She was so angry that her teeth were itching.


    All of this was planned by Liu as well!


    Furthermore, what happened yesterday was enough to prove that there was a person who understood illusions--This person was definitely not weak!


    Jun Qiqi''s heart immediately tensed up. She hurriedly bid farewell to Cheng Qing and angrily turned around to leave. Just as she was thinking about how to deal with tomorrow''s arena battle, she coincidentally ran into Ye Changsheng and Feng Chenlang.


    After seeing the extremely ugly expression on Jun Qiqi''s face, Ye Changsheng and Feng Chenlang looked at each other and did not ask any further questions. After stopping Jun Qiqi, they directly said, "Tomorrow is the arena battle, so you should stop running around today. We''ve prepared some training for you."


    "Let''s go!"


    Jun Qiqi squeezed out a word from between her teeth. Right now, besides raising her cultivation level and going to ''properly repay'' Liu Wencai, she wasn''t thinking about anything else. Therefore, she agreed without hesitation to Ye Changsheng and Feng Chenlang''s invitation.


    After following them to the spacious training field, the moment she saw Di Mo Jiu, Jun Qi''s originally black complexion immediately changed. Her tightly clenched teeth had also loosened quite a bit.


    When he saw that Jun Qiqi had arrived, Di Mo Jiu''s expression didn''t change much. He indifferently said, "Since you''re here, let''s begin."


    When Ye Changsheng and Feng Chenlang heard this, they immediately went to their respective seats to prepare. This also caused Jun Qiqi''s heart to rise to her throat.


    Jun Qiqi didn''t dare to slack off in the slightest, immediately taking her place as well. She was only waiting to receive these three people''s urgent instructions to her devil.


    Their formation quickly alerted the nearby cultivators. Under the urge of curiosity, they all gathered around to watch and whispered to each other.


    It was unknown who recognized Jun Qiqi first, but she shouted out, "Yo, isn''t this Yin Muju? What, there''s going to be a Challenge Tournament tomorrow, and I''m only here to train now.


    As soon as he said that, the admiration in the eyes of the crowd immediately disappeared. In its place was disdain and disdain. Some people even started to echo him.


    "Forget it, even if we train him for the past two days, he won''t be able to do much!" Who do you think you are? You''re just a guy who doesn''t know his place! "


    "That''s right, that''s right. Given his current state, he might as well surrender as soon as possible. It would be more humiliating if he managed to get his hands on more people!"


    "It''s one thing to lose face, but it''s another to not have any life left in the arena!"


    The sounds of the crowd''s discussion distracted Jun Qiqi for a moment. She was not paying attention in the slightest, and was unable to dodge Ye Changsheng''s attack in time. Her body was sent flying in the next second.


    Fortunately, Ye Changsheng had not used all his strength, so after taking this blow, Jun Qiqi was not heavily injured.


    However, this scene was sufficient to make those who wanted to see her embarrassed burst out in laughter:


    "Hahaha, quickly look at her appearance. It''s so embarrassing!"


    "Ai, and this is only training, not the real thing. Is that all?"


    "Hmph, I think he should get the hell out of here as soon as possible. He still wants to compete with senior even like this? What a joke!"


    All sorts of ridicule and ridicule filled the air as Jun Qiqi covered the place where she had been hit. Her cold gaze suddenly shifted to the onlookers as she secretly clenched her hands into fists.


    "Don''t be distracted." Although Di Mo Jiu had never really cared about gossip, he still minded a little bit when he saw that Jun Qi Qi was a little emotional about what she said. But before he taught those onlookers a lesson, he chose to educate Jun Qi Qi first.


    "Tomorrow is the arena battle. When the time comes, there will be more people coming to watch, so the words will be even more unpleasant to hear. Are you going to be distracted by this?"


    Jun Qiqi''s gaze softened, and her clenched fist relaxed.


    "..." "Got it."


    Jun Qiqi curled her lips as she stood up from the ground, completely ignoring the spectators around her. As she patted the dust off her clothes, she said, "Come, let''s continue."


    Di Mo nodded at nine o''clock. Ye Changsheng and Feng Chenlang looked at each other and smiled before returning to their original state.


    His eyes swept over the crowd that was getting closer and closer. Looking at Ye Changsheng and Feng Chenlang, he said, "I''ll come here, you guys go and chase them away, don''t leave a single one alive!"

 C75

    After three days of devilish training, Jun Qiyan''s strength had greatly increased, and his body''s endurance had also improved.


    It could be said that today''s Tanas Academy was extremely lively. The first grade and the second grade seniors all gathered around the arena, looking forward to the battle beyond their rank.


    Of course, most people didn''t like Jun Qiyan, and some even set up casinos. Although Tanas Academy didn''t allow gambling, many teachers still chose to turn a blind eye.


    "Come come come, let''s bet!" Not far from the arena, a student dressed in grey was shouting.


    "It''s a match between Yin Muju and the second year senior!" I want to buy some from senior! "


    Feng Yunlang had originally come to watch the match and had arranged to meet with Jun Qianyan at the front of the arena. When he heard that someone had mentioned Yin Muju, he curiously looked over.


    He looked around and saw a huge crowd of people. He helplessly raised his eyebrows and observed the situation inside ¡­


    "Hey, don''t block it. Give the people behind you a chance!" When the grey-robed man saw Feng Chenlang, he shouted even more loudly.


    Who didn''t know that the relationship between the crown prince and Yin Muju was good? Who didn''t know that the crown prince had so much money? For someone as foolish and rich as him, not ruthlessly beating him up was simply letting down his own conscience!


    It was also thanks to this person that Feng Chen Lang was able to observe this "casino" up close.


    The room was extremely simple and crude, with only a table and a piece of cloth on top. The names of Jun Qiyan and the senior were written on the table, but even so, the bet was placed in such a way that not even a drop of water could trickle through.


    The man in gray blinked and said mysteriously, "I''ll tell you! This Yin Muju was definitely going to lose! When that happens, all of you will get rich! "


    "I think you''re right! Jun Qiyan is just a nobody, this time I bet on senior''s victory! " As the customer said that, he took out three hundred gold coins and slammed them on the table.


    Most of the people who were able to come to Tanas Academy were the pride of their clan.


    "I think so too! After all, Jiang Fan has quite a bit of reputation in our school! I bid 1000 gold coins! "


    "Bring me!" Two thousand gold coins! " Everyone voted for their seniors. Blocking Jun Qiyan from losing was a sure thing.


    Feng Chen Lang looked around at the noisy crowd and was a little displeased.


    "Hey hey, you dogs look down on people!" Who said my family''s little Mu Jiu will lose?! This Young Master will bet 100 purple crystal coins! "


    After Feng Chenlang finished speaking, he took out the few hundred sparkling purple coins from his Spatial Ring. He raised his head and gave everyone a middle finger with disdain. His actions were extremely arrogant.


    As expected, people really are foolish and have a lot of money ¡­ The grey robed man swallowed his saliva and looked at Feng Chenlang in disbelief, "This ¡­ But it''s a hundred purple coins! "


    Feng Chenlang cast a sidelong glance at him, "So what if you have one hundred purple coins?"


    "Did you put it in the wrong place?" Senior''s name is over here. " One of the students reminded him kindly.


    "No, I did not. I was just trying to stop Jun Qianyan."


    Just as she finished speaking, Jun Qiyan''s voice appeared at the outermost part of the crowd.


    "Feng Chen Lang! I''m late, aiyo... This crowd is really crowded! " Jun Qiyan had spent a great deal of energy to squeeze through the crowd. When she saw the gold coins on the table and the especially dazzling purple coins, as well as her own name, she immediately understood.


    "You guys are betting on me here?"


    Feng Chenlang nodded, he pointed at the purple coins arrogantly, and haughtily said: "How about it! "I, young lord, have invested all of my wealth into you. If you dare to lose the match ¡­"


    Feng Chenlang looked at Jun Feiyan with a hesitating expression. The meaning behind his words should not be too obvious.


    She gave a hearty laugh as she winked at him and said, "Forgive me for my bluntness, but since you have so much money, why don''t you bet it on your seniors instead? When I lose the match and you win the money, how about fifty percent of it between us?"


    Feng Chen Lang was startled, and at first, he was unable to react to the other party''s intentions. After a long while, Feng Chen Lang''s face became a little twisted as he looked towards Jun Qiyan.


    "Kid, what do you mean by that? This is all I have! If you lose to me, I''ll ¡­ I''ll cry for you! "


    Feng Chenlang glared fixedly at Jun Qiyan as he started rolling around on the ground.


    Everyone was embarrassed.


    When more people heard Jun Qianyan''s words, they immediately began whispering to each other. The gold coins in their hands were tossed towards the second year students like they didn''t care for their lives.


    "What is it? Is it time to retreat? " Jiang Fan suddenly appeared and playfully patted Jun Qiyan''s shoulder, his face full of disdain.


    Jun Qiyan rolled his eyes and turned around, saying, "I won''t speak any more nonsense. When the time comes, we''ll see each other on the field for real!"


    The senior arrogantly raised his chin and raised it towards Jun Qiyan, "You better not lose too badly, or your friend will lose too miserably!" With that, he walked away without looking back.


    "This is so lively."


    The three people of Beijing''s Bai Gu and Ye Changsheng appeared in front of Jun Feiyan''s eyes.


    When Gu Yao saw the silhouette of Jing Ji Bai, his eyes lit up.


    "Ol ''White, all of you are here?"


    Beijing''s Ji Bai shot a glance at Gu Yao, then the corner of his mouth twitched.


    "Aren''t you talking nonsense? How can I not participate in Muk Jiu''s competition? "


    Feng Chen Lang scratched his head and chuckled.


    Ye Changsheng shook his head, and then he softly said, "Mo Jiu, we''ve all bet on you."


    When Jun Qiyan heard this, he was stunned.


    "I bet two hundred purple coins, and the two of them will get a hundred each."


    When Jun Qianyan heard this, the smile that had been on his face vanished completely. "You, you trust me just like this?!"


    Jun Qiyan suddenly felt a mountain of pressure.


    If she lost the match by mistake, wouldn''t these people beat her to death?!

 C76

    After the match began, Jun Qiyan narrowed her eyes and looked at the person in front of her.


    That person wasn''t Jiang Fan! It was the Fu Zihan that Jun Qiyan had never seen before!


    "Judge, I''m not challenging him!" Jun Qiyan narrowed her eyes and looked at the referee.


    When the crowd saw the people on the stage, they also exploded into a commotion.


    "Didn''t you say it was Jiang Fan?" Why did it become Fu Zihan? "


    "If it was Jiang Fan, Yin Muju would still be able to fight, but if it was Fu Zihan ¡­" Tsk tsk tsk, this is simply a one-sided massacre! "


    Ji Bai and the others were no longer calm. Jun Qianyan didn''t know who the other person was, but they did know each other!


    Fu Zihan was ranked in the top ten of the second year! This level was not something that Jun Qiyan could handle!


    "Muk Jiu, come down! You are not his opponent! "


    Feng Chen Lang was below, shouting out to the plot on the stage.


    Jun Qiyan''s eyes narrowed as he ignored the other.


    When the referee saw this, a difficult situation arose. He had never encountered such a situation before.


    Fu Zihan held his head, his handsome lips curving up into a smile of disdain. He said, "According to the rules of the Tynes Academy, those who enter the arena cannot go down, right?"


    The referee nodded after thinking for a moment ¡­


    Seeing this, Fu Zihan became even more arrogant. He whispered into Jun Qianyan''s ear, "Those who break the rules will have to leave Tynes Academy forever ¡­" "Brat, I advise you to give up as soon as possible. That way, your little life can at least be saved."


    Jun Qiyan''s expression turned cold. It wasn''t that she didn''t expect the other party to change hands, but she didn''t think that these people would be so shameless!


    Moreover, Fu Zihan''s words were clearly filled with killing intent.


    Compromise...


    No! There was no such word in his dictionary! Furthermore, the other party had no intention of letting him go!


    "If that''s the case ¡­" "How can I fail to live up to the good intentions of senior!?"


    Jun Qiyan bit on the word ''painstaking'' firmly, as if there was a hidden meaning in his words.


    Fu Zihan snorted coldly, "You''re courting death!"


    The match had just begun when four water columns suddenly appeared beneath Jun Qiyan''s feet. They spiraled upwards, then converged above her head.


    "Water prison?!" Feng Chenlang cried out in alarm as he couldn''t help but break out in a cold sweat for Jun Qiyan.


    Jun Qiyan''s expression turned cold. It was unknown when, but a long sword had suddenly appeared in her hand. The blade of the sword was pointed towards the sky, suffused with a cold and gloomy light.


    "An insignificant skill!"


    "Break for me!"


    With an angry roar from Jun Qiyan''s mouth, the two sword blades shot out at a speed that was invisible to the naked eye. They smashed into the seemingly impregnable water prison, breaking it into pieces ¡­


    Seeing that his moves had no effect on his opponent, a trace of excitement flashed across Fu Zihan''s eyes as his scarlet tongue licked his dry lips.


    "Interesting... "But do you think that''s all ¡­"


    Fu Zihan slowly drew his sword from his back, and a fierce wind started to blow.


    The bright sun in the sky was obscured by dark clouds. Sword light illuminated the dark surroundings.


    "Fleeting Time?"


    It was unknown who had suddenly recognized the sword in Fu Zihan''s hand!


    The people underground were once again in an uproar!


    As Jun Qiyan was startled, her chest felt as if it was being pressed down by a stone that weighed over ten thousand jin, making it difficult for her to breathe.


    So powerful!


    "This is just the pressure from the sword itself. A good sword was used by this boy, what a pity!" Di Mo Jiu''s voice sounded out.


    Jun Qiyan didn''t have the time to pay attention to Di Mo Jiu as she held her breath and shouted angrily.


    As the two swords clashed, the air pressure emitted by both of them was accompanied by a strong gust of wind, causing Jun Qiyan''s hair to flutter in the wind.


    It would only take a second for two experts to fight each other.


    In just a few seconds, the two figures that were originally entangled with each other had already separated.


    However, Fu Zihan''s sword had already left his hand.


    It was easy to see who was strong and who was weak!


    "This kid is extremely secretive ¡­" Even the normally calm Ye Changsheng could not help but be shocked by the scene before him!


    Fu Zihan looked at Jun Qianyan, who was standing in front of him. His smile had long since disappeared, replaced by shock and killing intent.


    However, Jun Qiyan was much calmer than before.


    In the exchange just now, she had already gleaned a general idea of his strength.


    Jun Qiyan did not give Fu Zihan any time to react. She gripped her long sword and thrust it towards Fu Zihan with the momentum of a landslide.


    Fu Zihan''s pupils constricted. At the moment of life and death, a faint layer of golden light appeared on his body.


    When the sword in Jun Qiyan''s hand was an inch away from Fu Zihan, it stopped moving.


    Jun Qiyan''s expression changed drastically. She only felt a slight numbing sensation before the sword in her hand fell to the ground.


    The smile on Fu Zihan''s ear became even more obvious. As the two engaged in close combat fighting, a cloud of dust rose up, causing the people outside to be unable to clearly see what was happening on the stage.


    A moment later, the clouds in the sky disappeared without a trace.


    Jun Qiyan held on as he stood on the stage, his body drenched in sweat.


    Fu Zihan, on the other hand, was already paralyzed on the stage.


    The corners of Jun Qiyan''s mouth hooked up into an evil smile. She raised her head and looked down upon the people below, her dark red lips opening and closing as she spat out a few words.


    "You''re nothing special!"


    After a moment of silence, the audience burst into cheers that shook the heavens and earth. Everyone was boiling with excitement!


    Since the first battle, Jun Qiyan had become famous. Everyone knew the name of Jun Qianyan from the Tanas Academy!

 C77

    In this battle, Jun Qiyan had gone all out with her full strength.


    Fu Zihan used his arms to prop himself up with great difficulty, only after a long time did he finally get up from the ground.


    "First-year Yin Muju wins!"


    The referee was stunned for a moment before speaking. It was evident that even he did not expect that the final victor of this seemingly one-sided massacre would actually be Yin Muju.


    Fu Zihan glared fiercely at Jun Qiyan. How was this possible? He actually said he lost to that freshman!


    The more Fu Zihan thought about it, the more resentful he became. A vicious thought rose in his mind.


    Fu Zihan took advantage of Jun Qiyan''s inattentiveness to condense a water ball in his hand. Then, he took advantage of Jun Qiyan''s inattentiveness to launch a sneak attack.


    In the dark, Jing Ji Bai soon noticed Fu Zihan''s movements. His finger moved slightly and stopped Fu Zihan''s magic.


    He even shouted, "Are you that shameless? How can you have the nerve to put on a scene like this! "


    As soon as the words left his mouth, Jun Qiyan noticed Fu Zihan''s movements.


    A trace of coldness flashed through Jun Qiyan''s eyes. She hid her hands behind her back and nimbly made a decision, then pointed at her senior.


    "I didn''t ¡­" Before Fu Zihan could finish his words, his eyes suddenly darkened as he uncontrollably picked up his clothes with both hands.


    Ah!" "Scoundrel!" The shrieks of the female students filled the entire arena. Upon closer inspection, there was another male student. Their voices were even louder than the people who were quarrelling, and they were staring at the female students beside them with their mouths agape.


    When he looked at Fu Zihan again, his pants had already fallen to the ground.


    With a ''crackle'' sound, Fu Zihan''s shirt also burst apart. His body was now completely bald, and only his vital spots were covered. However, Fu Zihan still had no intention of stopping.


    "Crap, I''m still not proficient enough. I''ve overused myself." Jun Qianyan said in a low voice as she stifled her laughter.


    Just when everyone was at a loss as to what to do, Jun Qiyan hummed a small tune and swaggered down from the stage.


    Feng Chenlang and the rest also left the arena.


    Within the bedroom.


    "Ai!" Jun Qiyan looked at the stack of envelopes on the table and sighed.


    Hearing this sigh, Di Mo Jiu couldn''t help but frown. Ever since she returned from the competition, she had been holding so many envelopes and sighing repeatedly. Only the heavens knew how many times she had sighed!


    Di Mo Jiu walked to the table, picked up a love letter and read it out loud, "After today''s battle, my love for you is like the river flowing, endless..."


    Before he could finish reading the letter, Di Mo Jiu had already placed the letter on the table and looked at Jun Qianyan, who was looking at him with a big smile on her face.


    She had purposely sighed, wanting to attract Di Mo Jiu to read these letters.


    "Look, even if I have short sleeves, there will still be people chasing me!" Jun Qiyan laid on the letter as he raised his eyebrows at Di Mo Jiu. "Look, there''s so many ¡ª"


    After Jun Qiyan finished speaking, he even made some very smug gestures.


    Di Mo Jiu took a quick glance, his originally ugly face suddenly turned even darker.


    Those envelopes could not help but contain countless little chicks, and even more of them were little chicks ¡­


    "Sigh!" Who would have thought that after that battle, so many little beauties would look up to me ¡ª "As he spoke, Jun Qiyan leaned forward even more. Her wretched appearance was on the verge of rolling over in the group of letters.


    Jun Qiyan was bragging, showing off in plain sight!


    Di Mo Jiu looked at her, his long and narrow eyes narrowing. He grabbed Jun Qiyan and pushed her back into the chair. Then he opened his arms, waved his hands, and took all the letters from the table into his arms, walking towards the door.


    Jun Qianyan immediately stood up and grabbed his sleeve, looking at him in shock and fear, "What are you doing?! What are you going to do with my letter? "


    Di Mo Jiu looked at her coldly, his thin lips slightly parted, "Heat it up."


    When Jun Qianyan heard this, she hurriedly stretched out her hand to snatch the letter from Di Mo Jiu''s bosom, "No! This was given to me by my little chick! This is what they want! "


    However, Jun Qiyan was nowhere as tall as Di Mo Jiu, and his strength was not even as strong as his. Di Mo Jiu managed to avoid the attacks a few times, but finally came across a corner, and because of the lack of strength, he wasn''t able to snatch it back.


    "Why are you snatching my love letter!" Unable to snatch it from Di Mo Jiu, Jun Qianyan was slightly anxious. He simply clutched his waist and asked Di Mo Jiu.


    Di Mo Jiu maintained his cold expression, "It will affect your training."


    "What crappy reason!" I''m afraid you''re jealous! "You''re too narrow-minded!"


    As soon as Jun Qianyan spoke these words, Di Mo Jiu''s body couldn''t help but freeze. Jealousy ¡­


    Di Mo Jiu touched his heart and felt an unknown feeling.


    Jun Qiyan pursed her lips and continued, "Jealous that I have a little girl chick, you don''t!"


    Di Mo could only feel black lines appearing on his forehead. He sighed, then continued walking out while carrying the letter.


    "Di Mo Jiu, don''t burn their hearts!" Jun Qianyan kept complaining.


    What was written in these letters that she had not yet read!

    "Trash!" You can''t even do this kind of thing well! " The more Liu Fei Fei thought about it, the angrier her sister became. Her chest heaved violently, and the anger in her eyes became even stronger.


    Suddenly, she grabbed the tea table and threw it on the ground. The girl beside her trembled in fright, but she didn''t dare to make a sound to interrupt her. She could only watch from afar.


    As the teacup cracked, she felt more at ease.


    She calmed down and sat back down on the wooden chair, looking at the distance with unwillingness. Suddenly, she regained her senses and walked out of the room.


    "I''m going out alone for a bit." She said without turning her head.


    She opened the door and looked inside. There was no one inside, and then she used her breath to feel around, but she couldn''t detect anything.


    As she slowly went deeper, a girl with long braids appeared in front of her. In the blink of an eye, she was back in the middle of the room.


    So fast! Although she was frightened, she still asked about her mind, and cleared her throat as she said, "Yang Shu."


    Yang Shu was sitting in meditation on the spot. Her eyelids slightly moved, but she did not open her eyes, much less pay attention to this unexpected guest.


    "Yang Shu." Seeing that Yang Xiu did not pay attention to her, she spoke again, "I came this time to ask of you something."


    Yang Shu still did not have any reaction.


    There was actually a woman who knew how to put on airs better than him! She took a deep breath, suppressed her anger, and continued, "I want you to bring Yin Muji out."


    Hearing these words, Yang Shu gradually opened her eyes and looked at her, "Yin Muju?"


    Seeing that she finally had a reaction, she straightened her back and raised her eyebrows, saying, "That''s right, it''s Yin Muju. I need your help to trick her out with a reason."


    "Heh, you already said that you ''lied'' to me. Why would I take the risk to help you do something so unethical?" Yang Su coldly snorted and stood up.


    In just a blink of an eye, Big Sister Liu Fei Fei had already placed her sword on top of her neck. She could even feel a dense coldness coming from the blade.


    "No, I have a reason." She stretched out two fingers and slowly pushed away the sword she was holding against her neck.


    Yang Shu had no intentions of harming her, so she easily pushed the sword away.


    Liu Fei Fei smiled confidently as she slowly paced back and forth with her back facing Liu Fei. She said, "As far as I know, you were once the most proud disciple of my mentor. But ever since Yin Mu Jiu came, everything has changed ¡ª ¡ª"


    After she finished speaking, she turned around and looked straight into Yang Shu''s eyes, drawing her last words.


    Yang Shu''s eyes slightly flickered, no longer as calm as before. She pursed her lips, waiting for Liu Fei Fei to finish her sentence.


    "You''re still stuck at the peak of the third layer, you haven''t made any progress, have you?" As she spoke, she took out an exquisite box from her pocket and extended her hand to reveal it in front of Yang Shu.


    With doubt in her heart, Yang Shu took the box from her hand. As soon as she opened it, a burst of cold fragrance immediately filled the entire clean room.


    Yang Shu greedily smelled the fragrance, but at that moment, Liu Fei Fei grabbed the box and closed the lid.


    "Tier 2 Spirit Gathering Pill?" How could you have such a thing?! " Yang Shu could no longer sit still. She was in a trance, and her eyes could no longer leave the box in her hands.


    Liu Fei Fei raised her chin, her eyes filled with pride, "Only I don''t want it, there''s nothing I don''t have."


    She took another box out of her pocket.


    "This is the Life Continuing Pill. Eat this and your little brother''s illness will be cured."


    Younger brother? How did she know about my brother? How did this woman know everything? Yang Shu looked at her in surprise. However, just by tricking Yin Mo Jiu out of it, he could greatly increase his own abilities, and could even cure his brother''s illness ¡­ It was a good deal.


    "Isn''t it just to trick Yin Muju out of it? "Alright, I''m lying!" Yang Shu hesitated for a moment before speaking.


    Liu Fei Fei blew away the non-existent dust on the box as her mouth raised into a smile that said she had the victory in her grasp.


    "After this is done, I will naturally give it to you. I will not break my promise."


    When Jun Qiyan thought about how she had won the gold coins, the corners of her mouth lifted and her footsteps became lighter.


    "Ah ~ I can finally have a good rest!" Looking at the soft bed, she stretched.


    But before she could lie down, a pair of large hands pulled her out of the room.


    Jun Qianyan blankly stared at the owner of the large hand. When he met his devilish, deep eyes, the blankness on his face was instantly replaced with anger.


    "Di Mo Jiu, the competition is already over, can''t you let me rest for a bit?" An angry roar pierced the sky.


    "No." Di Mo Jiu raised his eyebrows and looked at her, looking at her slightly puffed up face, he said in a stern voice, "Don''t you know that you''ve made a hundred mistakes?"


    She knew what he meant, of course, and knew that he had come for nothing more than to find out what she had done wrong, to let her improve, to practice.


    Jun Qiyan yawned and ignored him. She continued to walk indoors. Right now, she had no interest in improving anything. She only wanted to return to her intimate bed as soon as possible.


    But this time, before she could even enter the room, Di Mo Jiu had patiently pulled her by the collar and pulled her back. However, once she let go of him, Jun Feiyan ran back to the bed.


    Just like that, the two of them stood in a deadlock for a long time.


    Jun Qianyan squatted on the ground, disregarding his image as he panted, "Di Mo Jiu, are you done yet? Even if you''re not tired, I''m still tired! "


    "It''s not over." Di Mo Jiu said with a relaxed face, "I don''t mind doing it a few more times."


    Jun Qianyan calmed his breath and waved his hand, a bitter look on his face, "Still coming? God forgive me! I can''t improve it! "


    "Improving is still not enough, I still need to practice." Di Mo Jiu added darkly.


    "Although you won this time, many parts of you are still incomplete. You can''t dodge many attacks that you can evade, and you can''t grasp any openings that you can evade. Also, your chassis is unstable ¡­"


    "..." "Why did you make me sound so terrible?" The corners of Jun Qiyan''s mouth twitched as he helplessly sighed.


    Di Mo Jiu didn''t say anything as he slowly walked towards Jun Qiyan''s direction. As Jun Qiyan looked at him, her face turned red, and her thoughts raced.


    Di Mo Jiu raised his eyebrows and looked at Jun Qiyan, a bit amused, "That''s why I came to correct your mistake." Why are your face so red? "


    "No, nothing!" Didn''t you say that my chassis was unstable? "I''m training!" With that, Jun Qiyan took a horse stance with a red face.

 C79

    "Mowu Mowu Mowu ¡­" "Wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu ¡­"


    Feng Chen Lang''s figure hadn''t even arrived in front of Jun Qianyan when his'' huff ''sound had already reached her ears.


    "I''m here, I''m here."


    When Jun Qiyan heard Feng Chenlang''s voice, it was as if his savior had arrived. He was so happy that he had forgotten that he was in the horse riding stance.


    Di Mo Jiu knitted his eyebrows and glanced at Jun Qiyan who was standing up straight.


    When Jun Qianyan saw Di Mo Jiu''s face turn as black as charcoal, he immediately changed into his horse stance, not daring to move an inch.


    "Muji, why are you still practicing? Let''s go out and celebrate!"


    Feng Chenlang, who had just entered, did not see Di Mo Jiu sitting in the courtyard. Jun Qiyan looked in the direction of Di Mo Jiu as she pouted.


    When Feng Chenlang saw Di Mo Jiu, he immediately went silent and quietly used his eyes to communicate with Jun Qiyan.


    The general meaning is: "Why is he here?" "Watch me practice." "Then what should I do?"


    Di Mo Jiu was calmly drinking tea at the side, watching the interaction between the two and felt a little displeased in his heart.


    "That... "Can I get here first, I think ¡­"


    In the end, Jun Qianyan couldn''t stand Feng Chen Lang''s allure and had no choice but to boldly ask for help from Di Mo Jiu. Di Mo Jiu looked at the pitiful expression on Jun Qianyan''s face and his heart softened. He had no other choice but to wave his hand for her to leave.


    When Jun Qiyan saw Di Mo Jiu''s permission, he was extremely happy. He quickly stood up and clapped Feng Chen Lang.


    Di Mo Jiu looked at the two men''s actions, and his face turned dark again. When Jun Qiyan realized that Di Mo Jiu was in a bad mood again, she pulled Feng Chen Lang along and left, lest Di Mo Jiu go back on his word.


    Feng Chenlang brought Jun Qiyan out to the place where everyone was gathered. When Ye Changsheng saw the newcomer, the corner of his mouth hooked up into a smile.


    "Mu Jiu, congratulations on your victory!"


    Jun Qiyan embarrassedly touched the tip of his nose.


    Feng Chenlang, who was standing to the side, placed his hand on Jun Qianyan''s shoulder and said with a smile, "Muji, you really do hide your strength. You''re too ungrateful. I don''t normally pay attention to you cultivating, but in the end, I was able to amaze you!"


    "I don''t care. If you don''t treat today, then our friendly puppy will die!"


    Feng Chen Lang held his chest, looking as though he was injured after being deceived.


    The rest of the people started to jeer as well. Jun Qiyan helplessly looked at her friends who were causing trouble, and could only agree.


    "Alright, I''ll treat you!"


    Jun Qiyan waved his hand helplessly, indicating that he had plenty of money.


    "Then let''s make an agreement. The Wind Cloud Restaurant is not finished!"


    "I agree."


    "I agree."


    Everyone reached a consensus and set off together towards their destination.


    A group of people turned a corner, and Jun Qiyan accidentally bumped into a person.


    "Aiyo ¡­" "Sorry."


    "How did you get there? Are you blind?"


    Jun Qiyan was stunned by the man''s arrogant tone, and didn''t know what to do.


    Feng Chen Lang noticed the situation and looked up. Wasn''t this the same as Liu? She came to the market too.


    "What happened?"


    "Oh, I accidentally bumped into her."


    Jun Qiyan indifferently replied.


    "Oh, then it''s nothing. Just apologize."


    Feng Chenlang said indifferently. He had thought that something big had happened.


    "Apologize? "You''re apologizing if you bumped into me, is that enough?"


    Liu also disdainfully looked at Feng Chen Lang who had come out to be a peacemaker.


    "Then what else do you want?"


    Gu Yao was the one who hated Liu Wen''s arrogant attitude the most.


    "I don''t want anything either. Let her kneel down and apologize, then say ''I am wrong'', then I will let her go."


    Liu also has always disliked Jun Qiyan group of people, she was deliberately making things difficult for them.


    "What!?" "Don''t go too far!"


    Feng Chenlang gritted his teeth to contain his anger as he looked at Liu Zhenbiao with an unfriendly gaze. Like a furious lion ready to bite at any moment.


    "I''m just going too far, what else can you do to me?"


    Liu was also acting like a scoundrel, standing up straight and looking at Jun Qiyan arrogantly.


    "I''m going to grind your arrogance today."


    Liu also bite back, say that Cheng Qiyan they arrogantly.


    Jun Qiyan was so infuriated that he was almost about to laugh. How could this person be so unreasonable and shameless?


    "Don''t say anymore nonsense. I''ve already apologized, what do you want from me?" Don''t talk about your previous request, I won''t agree to it. "


    Jun Qiyan said rationally.


    "How about the two of us have a match. If you win, I''ll pretend that nothing happened. If you lose, I''ll make you apologize to me like I just said."


    Liu also looked at Jun Qiyan provocatively.


    There were more and more people surrounding them, layer after layer.


    When Jing Jibai heard Liu''s request, he was a bit worried. Liu was also one of the top three in terms of age, and was slightly stronger than Fu Zihan.


    To the side, Ye Changsheng also pulled Jun Qiyan and whispered.


    "Don''t promise her. She''s here to cause trouble for you."


    Jun Qiyan also knew that she was here to find trouble, and she didn''t have the courage to win. However, she wasn''t convinced by Liu''s shamelessness. She had decided to compete.


    "Okay, I promise, but if I win, I want you to apologize to me and never come looking for trouble with us again."


    "Deal."


    After saying this, the two of them made a hand sign and prepared to fight. The surrounding people were afraid of getting hurt, so they retreated even further, giving the two of them space.


    Ye Changsheng anxiously stood to the side, worriedly using his left hand to strike his right. He wanted to drag Jun Qianyan away as soon as it became too late. Since they had more people on their side, he might as well pull her back and protect her. However, he was worried that Jun Qiyan''s stubborn personality would make him angry.


    "What should we do, sigh."


    Ye Changsheng sighed sorrowfully to the side.


    On the field, Jun Qiyan had lost a fire magic spell, and Liu had also used a wind magic spell to block it.


    Jun Qiyan refused to accept this and sped up, throwing a lot of small spells at Liu to harass him.


    In the beginning, Jun Qiyan could still use this method to gain the upper hand, but not long after, her spiritual energy ran out. Liu was also much stronger than her, and the later stages of the fight made it difficult for her.


    Liu could have taken care of Jun Qiyan quickly, but she just wanted to see him struggle to survive under her hands.


    Greenedge had come to the market to buy some herbs. He didn''t want to stay when he heard the commotion, but seeing Feng Chen Lang standing in the crowd, he guessed that his little disciple must be in trouble again.


    When he walked over to take a look, he saw that the two people fighting on the stage were none other than Jun Qianyan and Liu Yu.


    "Nonsense!"


    Master Cyan Edge let out a soft shout, and the two, who were already entangled with each other, hastily separated.


    When Jun Qiyan saw this person, her original aura disappeared without a trace. She was like a quail hiding behind Feng Chen Lang.


    Qing Yun looked at Jun Qianyan and the others with an imposing gaze.


    "What''s going on with all of you? Why is there a ruckus in the market? "


    Feng Chenlang hastily told him what had happened just now in the face of Grandmaster Qing Yun''s questioning.

 C80

    After Green Edge finished listening, his deep gaze once again turned to look at Liu Wen. Liu Wen''s heart tightened and a hint of panic appeared in his eyes.


    "Enough, let''s forget about this matter first. What are you all thinking in such a public place!"


    Since Grandmaster Green Edge had already spoken, the others also spread out after him.


    Liu turned the corner and stopped. She raised her hand and hit the stone wall beside her angrily.


    "Crack!"


    Cracks appeared on the stone wall, revealing the man''s anger.


    Liu was also unwilling. Why was it that every time Yin Muju wanted to land in her hands, someone would come to save her? Why did everyone lean towards her?


    Liu was giving off a low pressure.


    "A beauty? Alone?"


    A wretched male voice reached Liu''s ears. She looked at the drunkard, who was not far away, and prepared to leave.


    "Beauty, don''t go!"


    The drunk staggered forward and blocked Liu''s way.


    Liu was also knocked back a few steps by the stench coming from the drunkard''s mouth.


    "When things are really not going well, all sorts of things will happen." Liu Wen looked at the drunkard in front of her with disgust. Her eyes turned cold.


    The drunkard had the audacity to touch Liu''s face.


    With a "pa" sound, Liu He grabbed the man''s hand and squeezed it tightly.


    How could an ordinary person without cultivation be comparable to a cultivator like Liu Wen? The drunkard immediately cried out in pain, and the wine also woke up.


    "Mercy, my lord, I was wrong."


    The drunkard''s hand bones were about to be crushed.


    "You''re the one who came knocking on my door to die."


    Liu also intended to vent all the anger he had just suffered on him.


    "This little one doesn''t dare, I''m just a hoodlum. If I drink too much, I''ll offend the lord. I was wrong, I won''t dare anymore."


    The pain in his hand made the lackey break out in a cold sweat. He kneeled down with a thud and kept apologizing to Liu.


    Liu Wen looked at the hooligan''s appearance and suddenly came up with a plan. She flung the delinquent''s hand away in disgust and looked down at him.


    "It''s not impossible to spare your life ¡­" Liu also crooked his finger at the person in front of him.


    The little hoodlum covered his hands and obediently went over to listen.


    "Do you understand? If you do this well, I will give you some benefits. If you don''t do it well ¡­ "Humph!"


    Liu''s eyes narrowed, and his expression turned menacing


    "I''ll definitely do well. I definitely will." The little hoodlum wiped the sweat off his forehead and nodded in agreement.


    "Then why aren''t you leaving?" Liu also said


    The little hoodlum quickly got up, as if there was some ferocious beast behind him.


    "Humph!" If you don''t let me down, I won''t let you guys feel good either. "


    The corners of Liu''s mouth curled up sinisterly.


    On the other side:


    "Waiter, bring your delicious dishes here." Jun Qiyan proudly instructed.


    "Do you have that much money?" Feng Chenlang couldn''t help but ask softly as he looked at the speed at which Jun Qianyan was ordering her dishes. He couldn''t help but swallow his saliva.


    Don''t you have more?"


    Feng Chenlang glared with both eyes as he instantly became displeased, "You bastard! Didn''t I say you were going to treat us?! I don''t care if I have any money! "


    Feng Chenlang hurriedly protected his own Spatial Ring tightly, as if he was going to die.


    The corner of Jun Qianyan''s mouth widened into a smile. As the future head of the Feng Family, this fellow wasn''t even willing to pay for a meal ¡­


    On the other side, Jing Ji Bai and the others acted as if they were used to it.


    In a short moment, the food arrived. As the big guys ate together, the atmosphere immediately became lively. He had completely forgotten about the previous incident.


    "Mo Jiu, where did you learn the last spell today? If you have the chance, teach me."


    Ji Bai, who was at the side, said as if he was joking.


    "No problem. I''ll teach you another day. You need to learn a lot."


    Jun Qiyan patted his chest as he promised Feng Chen Lang.


    "I think it''s better if you don''t learn. What''s the use of it? It''s just a little trick spell. A monster like you, with your own strength, can beat us trash."


    Feng Chenlang said to Jing and Ji Bai while stuffing food into his mouth.


    It''s useless. I think you want to learn too."


    Feng Chenlang''s hands paused as he chuckled, "How do you know?"


    Beijing''s Ji Bai rolled his eyes and no longer paid any attention to Feng Chen Lang.


    The few people beside them were all amused by their playful expressions. However, happiness was temporary and someone would always appear at an inappropriate time.


    "Which one is Yin Muju? Come out right now." The delinquent, who had been bribed by Liu He earlier, stood in front of the restaurant while shouting loudly.


    When the group of people who were happily eating heard this shout, they all stopped their chopsticks and looked outside the window.


    "I''m going to see what''s going on." When Jun Qiyan heard the other party call out her name, she couldn''t help but get up to check it out.


    "Why is it so hard to eat?" Feng Chenlang curled his lips, as he couldn''t help but feel a little displeased in his heart.


    "I am Yin Muju, what business do you have with me?" Jun Qiyan looked at the ragged figure of the vagabond, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart.


    "You stole something from me, hand it over quickly." That big guy didn''t care about anything and just said that.


    Jun Qiyan was so infuriated that he almost burst out laughing.


    "Have we met before? Why did you come here and say I stole your stuff? What evidence is there? Also, where are you going to get me to steal your stuff? "


    In the face of Jun Qiyan''s repeated questioning, the big man was obviously a little afraid of the stage, but he still shouted out his prepared explanation.


    "You stole something from me, but you''re still not admitting it. Just now, after you fought with a woman, you walked past me and stole something from me."


    The little hoodlum feigned an honest face as he pointed at Jun Qiyan, lying. Not only that, he even shouted for the people around him to come over and judge.


    "You said that I stole something from you, then what exactly did you lose?"


    Jun Qiyan frowned, thinking that she shouldn''t have gone out today. If she had known there would be so much trouble, she might as well have watched as Di Mo Jiu cultivated.


    "You stole a small box from me, and inside it is a pill I bought for someone else."


    The little hoodlum acted as if he was being righteous, as if such a thing really happened.


    "Pills?" "How could that be? How could I steal your pills? I''m not lacking at all."


    Jun Qiyan was even more puzzled. This person was of unknown origin, and yet he said that she had stolen pills. There must be a problem with this person.


    "Since you''re not lacking anything, then return my pill to me."


    The little hoodlum refused to give up and kept on asking Jun Qianyan to hand over the pill.


    The surrounding crowd also didn''t know what was going on. Seeing that person''s clothes were tattered and his speech was so sincere and urgent, they started to believe what he had said. Immediately, there was a hubbub of whispers.


    Jun Qiyan realized that this little hoodlum had always been emphasizing the importance of elixirs. Suddenly, she realized that she and Liu were both given a Psionic Condensing Pill recently.


    "Alright, is this the pill you''re talking about?"


    Jun Qiyan took out his own Spirit Gathering Pill.


    "Yes, this is it."


    The little hoodlum did not care what Jun Qiyan took out, as long as it looked similar.


    "Since you bought it for someone else, you should know the use of this pill." Tell everyone and let them have a good look. "


    "This ¡­"


    The hoodlum didn''t know what this pill was used for, he just heard Liu Wen say that this person had a pill on him. He secretly looked at Liu Wen who was hiding in the crowd to watch the show.


    Jun Qiyan followed the delinquent''s gaze and saw Liu as expected, which confirmed her guess.


    "Didn''t you buy it?"


    Jun Qiyan urged the hooligan.


    The little hoodlum was scared by Liu''s cold gaze, so he could only brace himself and make things up.


    "This is the medicine that will prolong one''s life if you take it."


    "Nonsense! This was clearly a medicine that helped people increase their strength. You''ve already said the medicinal properties incorrectly, and you still dare to say that it''s yours? "


    Jun Qiyan angrily looked at the hooligan.


    The little hoodlum didn''t know what to do and couldn''t help but to look at Liu Wen again. This time he saw it too clearly, the surrounding people also followed his gaze and found out that the little hoodlum was looking at the arrogant girl from the previous fight.


    "I was wondering, so it was someone who refused to accept this and sent someone to look for trouble with us."


    Feng Chenlang stood at the entrance of the restaurant and spoke in a voice that everyone could hear.


    The surrounding crowd immediately understood. So that was the case.


    For a time, the voices that denounced Liu were rising and falling, and Liu fled under the strange gaze of the crowd.

    The chirping of cicadas outside the window could be heard incessantly. Jun Qiyan sat up, and looked at the sword not far away with sleepy eyes, as she became stunned.


    "Why are you still so sleepy? Ah ¡ª ¡ª" She yawned and continued, "Perhaps it was too full yesterday. "Ah, I''m still so sleepy." As he spoke, Jun Qiyan turned around and lay back on the bed.


    "Practice hard."


    Di Mo Jiu''s deep yet magnetic voice rang in her ears. She couldn''t help but shiver, waking up from her bed and abruptly sitting up.


    Looking at her own bed, she actually had the urge to lie back down. However, Di Mo Jiu''s words were like a tight curse, swirling in her mind. Helpless, she could only reluctantly watch as her own bed walked towards the door.


    "Why are you so tired!?" Could it be that my power has weakened? " Jun Qiyan gasped as he lay on the stone table beside him.


    She had been practicing for two hours now, but not only did she not make any progress, she even felt as if she was working harder than usual.


    Something must have gone wrong! Jun Qiyan quickly sat back down on the stone bench, carefully recalling the process of training for the past week. During this week, he felt like he was carrying a stone on his back, and the stone was getting bigger every day.


    After a moment of thought, Jun Qianyan immediately followed the incantation to practice once more. She felt her chest grow even more stuffy.


    "Impossible, I was reciting the incantation according to the formula, how could there be a mistake?" She thought long and hard, and finally decided to ask her mentor.


    In the instructor''s resting room.


    "Knock - Green Edge Grandmaster!" Jun Qiyan anxiously knocked on the door, and pushed it open without waiting for Qingbai to speak.


    He knew who it was without even raising his head. Even though he was surprised by her sudden visit, he still leisurely took a sip of tea and slowly said, "Why are you in such a hurry to find me?"


    After he finished speaking, Qing Yun raised his head and looked at the anxious face of Jun Qiyan.


    "It''s like this, I just ran into a problem when I was training." Jun Qiyan ran up to the instructor, stood still, and said as she pursed her lips.


    Greenedge looked at her and winked at her, indicating that she should continue.


    Jun Qiyan thought back for a moment and then continued, "It''s like this. These days, I''ve been feeling stuffy, and my efficiency is getting worse every day. And ¡­"


    "You still feel weak? You can''t use any strength from head to toe? " Qing Duo interrupted Jun Qiyan, and continued to speak. He picked up the teacup beside his hand and took a sip.


    "How do you know?" Jun Qiyan looked suspiciously at Bluetooth; there was even a hint of doubt in his eyes.


    Seeing her expression, Qing You chuckled and said, "How come I don''t know? "This is a sign that everyone has been through before, and it is a necessary pass ¡ª a bottleneck!"


    This time, Jun Qiyan''s eyes were not only filled with doubt, but more so with admiration. Joy appeared on her face as she impatiently said, "Since this is a trial that must be passed, then there must be a solution!"


    "You''re right, but don''t be anxious yet. Sit down and do as I say." Greenedge put down his teacup and walked to the side of the mounds. He put his hands together and pointed at the mounds, indicating that Jun Qiyan should sit on it.


    Jun Qiyan nodded, casually picked a ball of ash, sat down, closed her eyes, and began circulating her Qi in her dantian.


    "Qi Sea, Liang Gate, Xun Ji ¡­"


    Jun Qiyan listened to every acupoint on her body as she walked around her, observing the direction she was going in each and every acupoint.


    Jun Qiyan carefully circulated his acupuncture points one by one according to his teacher''s instructions. He clearly felt that he had changed. His body and mind were much more relaxed after he had set down the set, and his skill had also improved. Just like that, she followed her master''s instructions and quietly practiced for two hours.


    Qing Duo opened his eyes and saw that the air around Jun Qianyan had changed. He sighed and said, "The younger generation should be more fearsome, the more the better." He didn''t expect Jun Qianyan to be so talented.


    "Mm, that''s enough." Qing Yun''s tone was flat, but he was announcing the good news that would make Jun Qiyan jump up and down in joy.


    "Really? That''s great. "


    Jun Qiyan was surprised and happy at the same time. He didn''t think that he would actually have a breakthrough. He was overflowing with joy. He hurriedly practiced the usual skills. The Qi flowed smoothly in his body without any symptoms of chest tiredness.


    "Since you''ve broken through the bottleneck, I don''t have anything good to give you right now, so I''ll pass on my self-created spell to you."


    After saying that, Greencloud Union didn''t care whether Jun Qianyan was ready or not, and immediately began to perform his own self-created magic.


    The battle at Green Edge had proceeded smoothly. Although the moves were simple, the combination was very complicated. Jun Qiyan watched very seriously, his eyes unblinking as if he was afraid that he had missed something.


    Qing Yun was afraid that Jun Qiyan would not be able to understand it, so he even did it twice more.


    "Do you understand?"


    Blue-Edge turned his body around and gathered his Qi and looked at the diligently studying Jun Qianyan. Jun Qiyan was still engrossed in her master''s earlier moves. It was only after she had been asked about it by Blueblood did she come back to her senses.


    "Understood." Jun Qiyan blankly nodded his head. Although he said that he understood, he still understood most of it.


    "Then go back and properly study it."


    After she finished speaking, Greenedge sat down and continued to cultivate, no longer paying any attention to Jun Qiyan, and also not caring if she left or not.


    When Jun Qiyan saw that his master had gone back to cultivate seriously, she did not want to disturb him any longer. Therefore, she quietly withdrew herself from the room.


    As soon as Jun Qianyan came out of her room, she saw a person standing under a tree with a worried expression on his face. Out of curiosity and kindness, she went to the tree and looked.


    She could clearly see that this person was her own senior sister, Yang Shu. she asked politely.


    "Senior Yang Shu, what are you doing here?"


    Jun Qiyan had heard that this Senior Sister Yang Xiu did not go out often. She focused on her cultivation and did not interact with many people. She also rarely participated in the activities of the academy.


    It was very strange for Jun Qiyan to see her standing here alone at this time.


    "I''ve been cultivating to the bottleneck and I haven''t been able to reach the desired effect, so I came out to relax."


    Yang Su frowned and straightforwardly said her own frustration.


    "Ah!" Coincidentally, I also met with a bottleneck today, so I came to ask for help. Why don''t you ask the instructor as well? "


    Jun Qiyan had never thought that even someone as serious as Senior Sister Yang Shu would encounter difficulties.


    "I''ve asked, it''s no use, what about you? Any gains? "


    Yang Shu looked at Jun Qiyan with concern.


    "I did. I even broke through?" What happened? "The instructor even rewarded me with a self-created spell."


    Yang Shu''s eyes flashed with a trace of jealousy. She had been working so hard yet still hadn''t been able to obtain a spell created by his mentor. This Yin Muju had been favored by his mentor the moment he arrived here.


    She slightly narrowed her eyes so that Jun Qiyan wouldn''t notice her abnormality. After adjusting her tone, Yang Shu continued speaking.


    "That''s great, then can you teach me? I also want to make a breakthrough. "


    Yang Shu used the harmless look on her face to coax Jun Qiyan. Jun Qiyan saw that Yang Shu''s expression did not seem fake, and coincidentally, she was also warm-hearted, so she agreed to help Yang Shu.


    "No problem, then where are we going to practice?" How about we practice in the pavilion in front of us? "


    Jun Qi pointed at the nearby pavilion.


    "No, let''s find a quiet place. I don''t like to be disturbed when I''m practicing. "


    Yang Shu decisively refused Jun Qiyan''s suggestion. She didn''t really want Jun Qi to point fingers at him. She pulled him towards the back of the mountain.


    Jun Qiyan staggered a little as she was pulled by Yang Shu. She suddenly felt that Yang Shu was a little strange. Normally, she did not go out much and when did she get so close to her? Furthermore, she was alone and casual.


    Yang Shu dragged Jun Qiyan along as she walked. Not long after, Jun Qiyan was not familiar with the terrain, and did not know where Yang Shu was taking her.


    "Senior sister, where are we going?"


    Jun Qiyan discovered that she was being pulled further and further away by Yang Shu.


    "Let''s find a quiet place to train."


    Yang Shu knitted her brows as she answered Jun Qiyan''s question. She didn''t even turn her head as she continued walking.


    "Then I think this place is quiet enough. There''s no need to go any further."


    Jun Qiyan struggled to break free from Yang Shu''s grasp on her hand.


    Even though Yang Xiu was slim, her skill was not to be underestimated. Although she was only lightly holding onto Jun Qiyan''s arm, she was actually using her spiritual power. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn''t break free.


    "I also know a quieter and more suitable place for cultivation. It''s not far away."


    "Senior sister ¡­?" A strange expression flashed through Yang Shu''s eyes. She didn''t give Jun Qianyan a chance to finish her words, and pulled her along.


    Even though Jun Qianyan felt strange in her heart, but since she did not have any sort of conflict with her, she could not shake off her hand directly. Thus, she decided to observe her surroundings carefully.


    Passing by the instructor''s door, she calmly tossed down her jade pendant.


    To be tricked into the back of the mountain

 C82

    Jun Qiyan was coaxed to the back of the mountain by Yang Shu''s "immediate arrival".


    "Where are you taking me?"


    "Cut the crap."


    When they were almost there, Yang Shu no longer pretended to be herself, revealing her indifferent personality. No matter how noisy Jun Qiyan was, her expression didn''t change.


    "Creak ¡­"


    Yang Shu opened an old wooden door and forcefully threw Jun Qiyan inside.


    "Why did you bring me here?"


    Jun Qiyan looked warily at Yang Shu standing outside the door. She suddenly felt suspicious, but did not dare to be careless. She was afraid that something might happen and put her in danger. After all, the sudden arrival of an unrelated senior sister in a place like this made him suspicious.


    "She''s not the one looking for you. I got her to bring you here. This place is pretty good, right? I specifically picked it for you."


    A familiar voice sounded from the other side of the door.


    Jun Qiyan looked at Liu who was pacing in through the door and understood that if I told her who it was who had brought me to this place, who else could it be?


    Liu choked on the dust in the room as soon as he entered.


    "You must know that good and evil will always be rewarded, and karma will always be rewarded. Right now, I want you to pay a price for what you have done."


    After saying that, Liu also cast a barrier around Jun Qiyan, preventing him from leaving. After that, one by one, she threw a small fire spell at her.


    This kind of magic didn''t hurt, it only made people feel like it was burning.


    Even though Jun Qiyan''s spirit energy was being suppressed in Liu''s enchantment, he couldn''t dodge such a small spell.


    "How is it? Don''t you like fire? When it''s used on you, don''t you like it a lot. "Haha ¡­"


    Liu Wen laughed maniacally like a demon, the spirit energy in his hands seemed to be inexhaustible as he threw fireballs at Jun Qiyan.


    Jun Qianyan also didn''t want to waste words with a lunatic like this. She knew that she had screwed up today, and was just waiting for someone to discover that she had disappeared before coming to save her.


    "Hmph ¡­"


    Jun Qiyan let out a soft groan of pain. She gritted her teeth to prevent her painful voice from leaking out.


    "Hahaha ¡­"


    Liu Wen looked at Jun Qiyan''s embarrassed appearance with a hint of craziness.


    On the other side, Feng Chenlang and Jun Qiyan had planned to eat dinner together, but when the time came, Jun Qiyan had not come to find him. He couldn''t help but be worried.


    "Why isn''t this Yin Muju here yet?"


    Feng Chen Lang looked at the sky getting darker, and the unease in his heart grew deeper and deeper.


    "No, I have to find it."


    Feng Chen Lang hurriedly went to find Jun Qiyan.


    "Yin Muju ¡­" "Yin Muji ¡­"


    Feng Chenlang called out Jun Qiyan''s name as he walked.


    "Feng Chenlang, what are you doing?"


    A fellow sect member passing by was attracted by Feng Chen Lang''s strange action and asked.


    "Did you see Yin Muji today?"


    Feng Chenlang grabbed his fellow sect members and asked anxiously.


    "No, I didn''t go out much today. I''ve never seen her before, so why is she gone?"


    This warm-hearted fellow was also unclear about the situation.


    "Originally, I had an appointment to eat dinner with her, but it''s already past the hour. It''s really strange that she still hasn''t appeared yet."


    "Maybe she''s delayed something important."


    "No, she will definitely do what she promised. Even if she was delayed by other things, she wouldn''t be so completely oblivious."


    Feng Chen Lang was so anxious that his eyebrows were about to ignite.


    "Don''t worry, it''s useless even if you''re anxious. I''ll go find a few more people to look for with you this way. How long will it take for you to find one yourself?"


    The fellow sect members enthusiastically suggested.


    "That''s great."


    Feng Chen Lang looked at him in gratitude.


    "Alright, I''ll go look for the person. You go look around the area now. We''ll come look for you later."


    "Alright, I''ll wait for you."


    Feng Chenlang sent his fellow sect members off with his eyes. He was truly worried about Jun Qiyan, afraid that she would be in danger.


    Not long after, a few people from the same sect were called over. Everyone tried their best to search for a corner of the school, fearing that they would leave any clues behind.


    Feng Chen Lang wondered if Jun Qiyan was there because of the matter of cultivating.


    He quickly walked towards his mentor''s residence. Before he could get close, Feng Chen Lang saw a jade pendant in front of the coaches'' courtyard. He strode forward and picked up the jade pendant.


    Feng Chen Lang clenched the jade pendant in his hand. At this moment, he firmly believed that Jun Feiyan had met with an accident. Otherwise, why would she throw away the things that she was carrying around with her?


    "Everyone, come here."


    Feng Chen Lang gathered his classmates who were looking for others.


    "I now know that Yin Muju is no longer in the academy. In a while, you guys go to the south mountain and search."


    Feng Chen Lang showed the jade pendant in his hand to everyone as he spoke.


    After realizing the seriousness of the situation, everyone gathered their energy and quickened their pace to look for the person.


    Feng Chen Lang silently prayed in his heart, praying that nothing would happen to Jun Qiyan.


    Meanwhile, Feng Chen was busy searching for Jun Qiyan. Meanwhile, Jun Qiyan was physically and mentally exhausted.


    "Puff ¡­" "Puff ¡­"


    Liu kept throwing fireballs. Even though Jun Qiyan was desperately trying to dodge, she had exhausted all of her spirit energy. His clothes were also tattered.


    Although Jun Qiyan was beaten into a sorry state by Liu, she kept silent. She knew that Liu wanted to hear her cry out in pain, but she wouldn''t let him.


    Liu also looked at Jun Qiyan''s firm expression, a wave of disgust rose in his heart, he really knew how to pretend. Shouldn''t you be able to endure it? Sooner or later, I will make you kneel down and beg me for it.


    Liu also no longer teased Jun Qiyan with these little tricks. She cast a large-scale spell to attack Jun Qiyan.


    "What are you doing?"


    Yang Shu, who had been standing outside the door, felt that the magic that Liu also wanted to use was a bit too much. She had originally thought that Liu also only wanted to teach Jun Qiyan a lesson, but she didn''t expect that Liu also wanted Jun Qiyan''s life.


    "You don''t need to meddle in other people''s business. Be careful that I don''t save your little brother."


    Liu also ignored Yang Shu''s question, and continued to prepare the magic.


    Yang Shu somewhat regretted helping Liu to cheat Jun Qiyan out. Although she saved her brother, she didn''t want to cause any deaths either.


    Yang Shu took advantage of the fact that Liu was also making hand seals and quietly left the broken house. She was going to help Jun Qiyan find reinforcements.


    "Yin Muji, where are you?"


    Feng Chen Lang and the rest had also found the back mountain. Yang Shu happened to hear their shouts.


    "If you want to save Yin Muji, come with me."


    Yang Shu reminded him while hiding in the dark. Once Feng Chenlang heard that there was someone who knew where Jun Qiyan was, he immediately gave chase.


    He did not care about the trap as he was worried that Jun Qiyan would go crazy.


    Yang Shu led Feng Chen Lang and the rest to the broken house.


    Feng Chen Lang looked at the house before him and smelled the stench of blood in the air. He was a little afraid that he would see Jun Qiyan covered in blood.


    His hands trembled as he pushed open the door. There was no one inside that he wanted to see.


    Yang Shu was also very surprised. She thought to herself, "This Liu has moved too fast, she just left a while ago and he has already disappeared."

 C83

    In the run-down temple outside the city, Jun Qiyan was weakly leaning against a stone wall. Liu Wen looked at her maliciously, and said with a cold smile, "Yin Muji, today is the day of your death."


    At this moment, Jun Qiyan''s long hair was tied up, and her light blue robe was in tatters.


    However, what she didn''t expect was that Liu would become so paranoid. She didn''t know anything about Liu''s fate, so she could only see her distorted face and feel like retching.


    "What is it? Was it fear or unwillingness? "But so what? Yin Mo Jiu, today I''ll let you have a taste of death."


    Liu also sacrificed with blood, and the dark earth emitted a golden light which was reflected in Jun Qiyan''s eyes.


    The stench of blood made her want to escape, but she was powerless. Other than waiting for death, she had no other choice.


    She suddenly felt that it was a little laughable. Looking at the Blood Sacrifice, she couldn''t help but reprimand him, "You are escaping, you are scared, you are afraid of the world knowing the ugliness beneath your beautiful skin, afraid that no one will pamper you, no one will love you."


    Liu''s hand paused, his cold eyes stared at Yin Muju, she did not expect him to see through her hypocrisy, her helplessness. However, so what? He was just on the verge of death.


    "Don''t waste your strength. No one will come to save you, and even more so, no one will know that you are here. Just obediently wait to go to the door of the dead.


    "You stole my only sister, so I''m going to make you pay with your life!"


    Jun Qiyan shook her head as she stared at Liu. She couldn''t help but feel a little absent-minded. Was she really going to fall into the hands of this woman today ¡­


    As the light dissipated, the pentagram on the ground turned blood-red. Liu also dragged Jun Qiyan to the center, and constantly spouted inscriptions that Jun Qiyan could not understand.


    "Am I really going to die?" Even at the last moment, Jun Qiyan was still unwilling to believe that she was about to die along with Liu. She was unwilling, struggling, and resisting, but in the end, more and more bloodstains appeared on her body.


    At the same time, Di Mo Jiu who was sitting quietly sensed that Jun Qiyan was in danger and left to rescue her.


    He arrived at the broken temple and stood outside. Di Mo Jiu sensed that someone was using a forbidden technique inside. With a wave of his hand, the tightly shut wooden door fell onto the cold ground like a broken willow tree, covered with a layer of dust.


    Di Mo Jiu forcefully interrupted the forbidden technique at the speed of lightning. Liu Xin also didn''t expect that someone would interrupt it. She, who was vomiting blood, looked at the incoming person with a vicious expression.


    Di Mo Jiu didn''t even give her a look, he just carried Jun Qianyan and walked towards the door. The thing that Liu was not willing to get was destroyed like this, and it kept rolling and crawling until it finally reached the doorstep. But what she didn''t expect was that the Octadic Snake had already been waiting for her for a long time.


    Di Mo Jiu left the Octadic Snake to deal with Liu Wen Tian while he carried the scarred Jun Qiyan back. Looking at the weak Jun Qiyan in his arms, his heart ached.


    "Hold on, don''t fall asleep. Just go home." Di Mo Jiu anxiously called out to the unconscious Jun Qianyin. A familiar smell lingered around the tip of her nose. She could finally let go of the precaution in her heart and peacefully sleep.


    The next morning, Jun Qiyan woke up from her stupor. She looked at Di Mo Jiu, who was standing beside her, and could not bear to wake him up. She slowly got up and put on her clothes.


    "Gulu ~ ~ ~"


    A dissatisfied growl came from Di Mo Jiu''s stomach, waking him up.


    "Hungry?"


    Jun Qiyan''s face turned red as she nodded. She had not eaten delicious food for quite some time. Ever since she was kidnapped by Liu, she had never tasted anything bad.


    Di Mo Jiu didn''t say anything, and she didn''t ask Liu either, but it was always a thorn in her heart.


    She didn''t know why Liu had become so paranoid. She began to hate everyone in the world, and unfortunately, she had become Liu''s prey.


    All of this happened as fast as it came and went.


    However, there was still a scar left in her heart. She could only wait for time to slowly smooth it over.


    It had been a few days since the incident with Liu, and Jun Qiyan had never seen Liu again. As for whether he was alive or dead, she had no way of knowing.


    It was as if time had never come to Liu as well, and her traces had been obliterated, leaving no trace behind.


    While walking in the garden, Jun Qiyan happened to overhear a few servants discussing something behind the rock garden.


    "You heard that Yang Shu was punished?" The maidservant lowered her voice, afraid that she would be heard.


    "No, where did you hear that?"


    The maidservants proudly flattered her on how amazing she was. When Jun Qianyan heard this, she quietly left.


    Yang Shu was punished?


    These days, she had been living a leisurely life. It was time for her to walk around.


    When Jun Qiyan found Yang Shu, she looked at her miserable state. However, when she thought of her previous experiences, she couldn''t help but feel resentful.


    "Why did you do that?" Jun Qiyan lowered his voice and asked coldly.


    She only wanted to hear the answer from Yang Shu''s mouth, an answer that would let her put down her grudge.


    Seeing Jun Qiyan standing by her side, Yang Shu kept apologizing to her, "Yin Muju, it''s my fault. If you want to kill or cut me, go ahead.


    I just hope that you don''t touch my little brother. He doesn''t know anything, can you let him go? "


    When Jun Qiyan saw Yang Shu''s tears falling like rain, she could not bear to do so. However, she had never been a merciful person, and would not give up her goal because of that.


    She wanted to let Yang Shu know that if she did something wrong, she would have to bear the consequences.


    "I won''t touch your brother, but you have to give me a reason to let you go."


    At this moment, she did not know how to speak. What she had done was like a huge mountain pressing down on her heart, causing her to be unable to breathe. But for the sake of her brother, she had no choice but to take the risk.


    She only hoped that her brother would be able to live well and become a pillar of support in the future. She hoped that he wouldn''t be like her and become a commoner in a city, who would be in a state of panic for an endless period of time.


    "I''m sorry." In the end, Yang Shu still said these three words.


    Seeing that Yang Xiu did not want to say more, Jun Qiyan did not insist. Since she had something to say, she did not have to force it on him.


    "Take me to see your brother." Seeing the fear in Yang Shu''s eyes, Jun Qianyan lightly smiled and explained, "I won''t hurt him. Take me with you."


    Yang Shuren numbly nodded her head and brought Jun Qiyan to visit her younger brother.


    Yang Xiu''s little brother was lying on the bed. His pale face looked like a dead person, but he was still breathing. If he didn''t treat her in time, she wouldn''t be able to save him.


    In Yang Shu''s stunned eyes, Jun Qiyan began to prepare everything. She wanted to help Yang Shu treat her younger brother.


    After stabilizing the aura of her younger brother, Jun Qianyan gave a medicinal pill to Yang Shu.


    Yang Shu looked at the pill in her hand, unable to speak for a while. Suddenly, her nose turned sour, and she dropped to her knees in front of Jun Feiyan.


    "From now on, my life is your life!"

 C84

    It was a pitch-black night. The moonlight shone on the land, illuminating it. Jun Qiqi was yawning inside her room. She was thinking about how long it would take for her to go to sleep after cultivating for a while.


    However, a knocking sound came from outside the door. It seemed that if the people inside still did not come out, the people outside the door would not let it go.


    Feng Chen Lang, who had already fallen asleep at the side, looked outside the door somewhat angrily. He muttered to himself, "This is really disturbing Clear Dream."


    Di Mo Jiu glanced at the door, seemingly without any intention to go down.


    You can only look at the two grandfathers on the bed and sigh. She could only helplessly walk down the stairs.


    Jun Qiyan looked at the red-faced, breathless boy standing at the door. She frowned slightly and asked, "What''s the matter?"


    The youth scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Teacher has called you and Feng Chen Langmo over. It seems to be an important matter. Hurry up! Teacher is waiting for you."


    When Jun Qiqi heard this, not only did she have some doubts in her heart, but she also turned around and said to the two people behind her, "Let''s go. Teacher has an urgent matter to attend to."


    After Jun Yunrue finished speaking, he was about to leave, but he didn''t expect that Feng Chen Lang, who was still sleepy and hazy, would suddenly grab Jun Qi Qi''s arm and say:


    "Put on your clothes first, the weather is very cold, it would not be good if you caught a cold."


    Jun Qiqi blushed with shame. She had already taken off her outer clothes on the bed. No wonder she felt something was off.


    Di Mo Jiu, who was at the side, looked directly at the hand that Feng Chen Lang was pulling Jun Qiyan along with him when he heard that voice.


    Feng Chen Lang felt a chill on his back, and only after noticing Di Mo Jiu''s gaze did he let go of his hand.


    "You really haven''t logged off because of your love for me."


    "What did you say?"


    At the side, Jun Qianyan couldn''t hear Feng Chen''s empty words, and couldn''t help but ask.


    "No, nothing!" Feng Chenlang quickly waved his hand.


    Only after the three of them had tidied up did Jun Qiyan close the door and leave the room.


    Seeing the late arrival of the three people, Beijing''s Ji Bai nodded slightly and greeted them.


    Gu Yao, on the other hand, was clad in black, and had a disdainful expression on his face as he looked at Jun Qianyan and Di Mo Jiu.


    Ye Changsheng, on the other hand, smiled at Jun Qiqi, and the few of them walked towards the master''s room. On the way, the sky was filled with twinkling stars, and together with the scenery of the academy, it was truly very beautiful.


    If there was nothing to do during the day, it would be a good place to explore the academy. Along the way, many students passed by them.


    It also attracted some attention. After all, they were quite famous in the academy. Whether it was in terms of appearance or cultivation, they were all elites.


    When they arrived at the master''s room, they discovered that the door to the courtyard was wide open. The master sat on a chair, waiting for them to arrive.


    Seeing them arrive, the instructor stood up, walked to the courtyard, and said to Jun Qiqi and the others.


    "You came so late. I called you here because I have a mission. A few days ago, the Liu Family that was attached to the Tanas Academy was exterminated by a mysterious force. Over a hundred people did not survive."


    The instructor''s slightly heavy voice rang out beside everyone''s ears. Feng Chenlang and the others felt their scalps go numb. What sort of hatred would allow them to quickly kill the other party?!


    "This case is very strange, so the local villagers asked our academy for help. This case is also an investigation against you. When the time comes, we will send a teacher to accompany you."


    Unless you encounter danger, he will come out to rescue you. He will be watching from the shadows, and after completing the mission, he will give you a score for your performance. At that time, you will also have corresponding points to give to you. "


    The instructor gave a simple explanation of the mission before continuing, "You are the top few among the freshmen. This mission is a little difficult, so you should be careful on the way!"


    Jun Qiqi was rather interested in this mission. She had been exterminated overnight, yet no one had discovered her. This could only mean that her opponent was too strong.


    Also, it was common knowledge that the Liu Family was a subsidiary force of the Tannas Academy. Killing the entire Liu Family was a small matter. It would be a big deal if they wanted to start a war with the Tannas Academy!


    "Alright, it''s already deep into the night. You can go back now. We''ll set off tomorrow morning!" After the instructor finished speaking, he glanced at the crowd before him with a profound look in his eyes.


    After everyone heard these words, they bowed and left.


    Early the next morning, Feng Chen Lang rented a relatively large horse carriage. A few people were sitting in it as they rushed towards the Liu Family.


    Feng Chenlang passed the snacks he bought when he was just renting a car to Jun Qiqi and said, "When we were renting a car just now, I bought some snacks for you to have a taste of! I still have to eat something in the morning. "


    Gu Yao merely glanced coldly at Feng Chenlang. Seeing how attentive he was, he didn''t say anything and just remained leaning back in the corner with his eyes closed.


    When Jing Ji Bai saw Feng Chenlang''s actions, he smiled faintly and said mockingly, "You really are the memory of a fish and the courage of a bear. Don''t you know that we, Mu Jiu, have an owner?"


    When Feng Chen Lang heard this, his whole body couldn''t help but tremble. The corner of his mouth was frozen, his eyes inadvertently glanced at Di Mo Jiu who was beside him. He hurriedly stuffed all the points in front of him into his mouth.


    "Cough cough, this cake is really quite tasty. Old Bai, what did you say just now? The wind was a bit strong, so I didn''t hear clearly."


    With that, he gave the last piece of cake to Ye Changsheng. "Changsheng, you try it."


    Ye Changsheng did not say anything, only elegantly flipping through the book in his hand, concealing his disgust at the cake in Feng Chenlang''s hand. "Heh, eat it yourself."


    Feng Chenlang held onto his chest as he said with a face full of injuries, "Changsheng, how can you treat me like this!"


    Looking at Feng Chen''s playful appearance, Jun Qiyan could not help but burst out laughing.


    Soon, they arrived at the Liu Family.


    The Liu Family was a reputable family. Normally, the Liu Family was the target of everyone''s envy, but now it was the taboo of everyone. That was because the entire Liu Family died in one night. It was weird.


    A family of a hundred or so people actually did not manage to escape. Thus, there was simply no one willing to come and collect their corpses, and let them rot just like that.


    When Jun Qiqi and the others arrived at the entrance of the Liu Family''s residence, they could smell a foul stench; it was the smell of rotting corpses.


    Feng Chenlang couldn''t help but cover his mouth and nose as he grumbled:


    "As expected, good people are hard to find. You said there were so many corpses of the Liu Family here, but no one came to take care of them. What a pity. They weren''t afraid. With so many corpses, there would be a plague."


    Jun Qianyan didn''t pay attention to Feng Chenlang''s words. He only strode into the courtyard. Along the way, dried blood could be seen everywhere, all of them turning a dark red color.


    The corpses were highly rotten, so it was impossible to tell what the original appearance of the dead was. Flies were flying around the corpses. This was simply hell on earth.


    Feng Chen Lang looked at everything in front of him. The cake that was originally filled to the brim immediately felt disgusted and anxious when he saw this. He couldn''t hold it in any longer and vomited out everything he had eaten this morning.


    Feng Chen Lang looked at Jun Qianyan''s calm appearance, and his entire body became disarrayed in the wind.


    "Mo Jiu, you''re actually not afraid?"


    Feng Chenlang seemed to understand why the common folk did not want to come and clean up the corpses. If someone saw this scene, they would definitely be traumatized. Some people might be scared to death if their hearts were not good.


    They walked around in the yard. It was just as their instructor had said. The Liu Family members from the age of eighty to the infant that was crying out for food were not spared.


    The ground was littered with corpses, causing everyone''s mood to turn incomparably heavy.


    Feng Chen Lang, who was at the side, looked at everything before him. He seemed to have thought of something. "Changsheng, quickly take a look at the surrounding flowers, plants, and trees. Do you know what leads there are?"


    Ye Changsheng possessed the ability to communicate with spirits, something that everyone present knew.


    As expected, once Feng Chenlang said those words, everyone turned their gazes to Ye Changsheng.


    Ye Changsheng closed his eyes and attempted to establish a spiritual communication with the surrounding vegetation. After a while, Yi Changsheng''s original complexion instantly became even paler.


    He bit his lip as he spoke in a trembling voice, "I can''t contact them."


    The people Ye Changsheng spoke of were naturally the spiritual consciousness of those flowers, plants, and trees.


    Or in other words, these flowers and plants had all lost their souls, leaving only an empty shell.


    Everyone''s expressions changed drastically. What kind of character was this, to be able to destroy a plant''s soul?!


    Things might not be that simple this time ¡­


    "Ninth Master, do you know what''s going on?"


    Jun Qiyan said to Di Mo Jiu while the others were still standing in front of him.


    Di Mo Jiu looked at the body on the ground and shook his head, his face seemed to be more serious.


    "It''s better if you stop on this matter." Di Mo and Jiuchen spoke to Jun Feiyan with a meaningful look on their faces after a moment.


    The expression on Jun Qiyan''s face stiffened.


    "Withdraw? Ninth Master, do you know something? " Jun Qiyan pursed his lips, looking at Di Mo Jiu with suspicion.


    "If we keep investigating, you guys will be in danger." Di Mo and Jiu Dao.


    Jun Qiyan was silent for a moment. Then she raised her head and looked at the person in front of her.


    "If I retreat when I encounter danger in the future, do I even need to come to Tanas Academy?"


    "All people grow up in difficult situations, who can be successful in everything they do?"


    Jun Qiyan smiled sweetly and said, "What''s more, if you encounter danger, there''s still you, Ninth Master."


    Di Mo Jiu raised his eyebrows. He knew that this little girl wanted to continue searching, so he didn''t say anything.


    After all, this was something that the girl had decided on. The nine oxen probably wouldn''t be able to pull it back.


    "What are you two talking about?" Feng Chen Lang walked up to the two and asked curiously, "Let''s go out first and see if anyone else knows what happened to the Liu Family that night."

 C85

    They stopped more than ten steps away from the Liu Family. All of them let out a breath of impure air. The rotting corpses in the Liu Family were accompanied by a rotten stench, which made them feel that the air outside was still very clear.


    Facing the Liu Estate, Jun Qiyan frowned as if she was thinking about something.


    Feng Chen Lang and the others were still talking about the situation in the Liu Family. As for her, she carefully looked at the Liu Family''s facade.


    The brilliance of the past was in stark contrast to the present destruction of the sect.


    Jun Qiyan could not help but sigh in his heart.


    Not far from the Liu Family, there was an alley. It was bustling with noise and noise. It seemed that the Liu Family did not have any influence over it.


    After a moment of thought, Ji Bai said in a deep voice, "Why don''t we go ask the people who live near the Liu Estate. They might know something."


    "Alright."


    Everyone agreed.


    The group of people first went to the front door of the house near the Liu Estate and knocked on it.


    After a while, the door opened and a middle-aged man in plain clothes came out. It seemed as if he had lived in this house for a long time.


    "Excuse me ¡­"


    Jun Qiyan smiled. Just as she was about to ask if there was anything wrong with the Liu Estate, before she could say anything, the person who opened the door saw that some of them were still looking towards the Liu Estate.


    He could immediately guess what Jun Qiyan wanted to ask. He hurriedly closed the door as if he was frightened by something.


    "I don''t know anything, so don''t ask me!"


    The man said the same thing as he closed the door.


    "Sigh, why is this person so strange? You obviously didn''t ask him anything!" Gu Yao crossed his arms in front of his chest as he held the sword in his right hand, as he asked in a strange tone.


    Jun Qiyan sighed as she rubbed her glabella and said,


    "Let''s go. There is no need to ask these residents. I believe they will not be able to say anything." As she spoke, she walked in the direction of the market.


    "Oh."


    Feng Chenlang and Ji Bai looked at each other and hurriedly caught up with Jun Qiyan''s footsteps. The others hurriedly followed.


    However, Gu Yao pursed his lips, looked at the tightly shut door, and then looked in the direction of the Liu Estate. After pondering for a while, he also followed along with Jun Yunxiao and the others.


    The group passed through the market and arrived at the largest inn.


    At this time, the inn was packed with people. Jun Qiyan and the others were sitting around a large table. She wanted to hear whether or not the inn would have any discussion regarding the Liu Estate.


    However, after they sat there for a good while, the busy waiter came and asked them several times if they needed anything, but they didn''t hear anything.


    The people here acted as if they didn''t know that the Liu Estate had been annihilated.


    But it was real.


    If Jun Qiyan didn''t believe that they didn''t know, then it was likely that they didn''t want to talk about it.


    There were two reasons why no one dared to talk about these things. First, it was because no one noticed the average person, and secondly, there was an even more terrifying power.


    Just as Jun Qiyan was speculating in her heart, the inn''s owner walked over with a courteous look on his face. "Dear guests, are you satisfied with our inn?"


    "Nothing." Jun Qiyan put down the teacup in her hand and was about to order the food when Feng Chen Lang suddenly interrupted.


    "I say, boss, do you know that the size of the Liu Family is ¡­"


    "Shut up!" Before Feng Chenlang could finish his words, the boss interrupted him with a drastic change in expression.


    His face turned extremely ugly, "You can leave, I don''t welcome you here. Get lost! "


    As he spoke, the boss saw that Feng Chenlang and the others, who were sitting there in a daze, had no intention of leaving. He directly called for a servant to come over and kick them out.


    "Ai, what''s going on with the boss? Is he treating his customers like this?"


    Feng Chen Lang said unhappily as they were rushed to the door.


    Jun Qianyan still did not speak, but in her heart, she felt that there was something that caused the people here to be apprehensive, something that made them not dare to discuss about it.


    The group of people shuttled back and forth on the main street. Aside from Jun Qianyan and Gu Yao, no one else had asked about the changes in expression of anyone who passed by and quickly left their side.


    At this moment, the sky started to get overcast with dark clouds. Seeing that the sky was about to darken and rain was about to fall, the group finally started to get nervous.


    Jun Qiyan looked at the sky and frowned.


    If it were to rain on her, her identity would probably be exposed.


    "Let''s go, it''s going to rain soon."


    Ye Changsheng looked at the gloomy sky and said to the four people beside him.


    The others followed closely behind.


    However, no matter how fast they were, two bean-sized drops of rain began to fall from the sky.


    Crap!


    Jun Qiyan cursed in her heart. They were the only passers-by on this road who didn''t have a place to shelter themselves from the rain. He frowned as he didn''t know what to do.


    However, at this time, two old men wearing raincoats walked over.


    "Old grandpa."


    Jun Qiyan walked over without a second thought and said to a white-haired old man, "We are all students of the Tanas Academy. We came here to gain some experience, and it''s about to rain. Can you allow us to follow you to your house for shelter?"


    The old granny next to the old grandpa glanced at her. The two of them were clearly somewhat surprised. A small place like their own actually had people from Tynes Academy.


    "Come in."


    After half an incense stick of time, the rain outside gradually lessened.


    Inside the house, the old grandpa and grandma enthusiastically prepared some hot water for them to change into clothes and eat some snacks.


    "We don''t have any good food here either. We only have some plain rice and some coarse tea. I hope you don''t mind."


    The grandma handed over a plate of dessert and cups of hot tea with a kind smile on her face.


    "Thank you grandma. Oh, grandma, your dessert is so delicious!"


    Feng Chen Lang impatiently picked up a piece of dessert and stuffed it into his mouth.


    "You guys try it!"


    As Feng Chen Lang ate, he did not forget to recommend the dishes to the others.


    As Jun Qiyan looked at Feng Chenlang''s appearance, who was like a reincarnated hungry ghost, a few black lines involuntarily appeared on her head.


    "Were you reincarnated as a hungry ghost in your previous life? How could I have a friend like you? "


    Gu Yao looked at Feng Chenlang''s tasteless eating method with slight disgust.


    "If you have the ability, don''t eat. Mo Jiu, Mo Jiu, let''s eat."


    Feng Chenlang turned around and handed the dessert in his hand to Jun Feiyan.


    Jun Qiyan glanced at Feng Chenlang and ignored him, turning to the smiling old granny at her side.


    "Granny, I heard that the biggest mansion in this area is the Liu Family. Why is it that when we passed by the Liu Family, there was no one from the Liu Family guarding the door?" Jun Qiyan asked tentatively.


    Upon hearing her words, the others immediately stopped eating. Based on their recent experiences, they glared at Jun Qianyan, and then looked at the expressions of the old grandpa and grandma.


    As expected, everyone saw the expressions of the old grandpa and grandma change, but they quickly returned to normal.


    The old granny sighed, "You want to ask about this, does it mean that you want to investigate this matter?"


    "Hehe, I can''t hide it from you. Can you tell us something about the Liu Family being exterminated?" On the surface, Jun Qiyan pretended to smile lightly, but his heart was actually nervous.


    The two old men looked at each other with hesitation in their eyes.


    "Regarding this matter, it''s best if you don''t investigate any further. Just stop it."


    The old grandpa poured himself a cup of tea and said, "This is no small matter. How could anyone dare to talk about this here? "So, you guys stop."


    What he meant was that the people who exterminated the Liu Family were not people that his group of students could deal with.

 C86

    When the crowd heard the old grandfather''s words, aside from Jun Qiyan, all of their expressions changed.


    However, when the old granny saw that the expression on Jun Qiyan''s face didn''t change much, she understood what the man in front of her was thinking.


    "Still, listen to our warning and don''t continue investigating."


    As she said this, she glanced at Jun Qiyan, and then looked at them, as if she was just saying these words to Jun Qiyan.


    Jun Qiyan smiled faintly. This matter wasn''t something that could be ignored just because there was no need to investigate.


    "Alright, we won''t investigate." Jun Qiyan looked at the old granny and smiled faintly.


    When these words were spoken, the others were somewhat unhappy. This matter had been arranged by their master, so how could he, Jun Qianyan, not investigate it?


    "Yin Mo Jiu, you can''t be a person who is afraid of death, right? Normally, I would never have known you were this kind of person! "


    Gu Yao was the first to unhappily say.


    Jun Qiyan crossed one leg over the chair and casually said, "This has nothing to do with us. To think that it would be so important. What does it have to do with investigating?"


    "You!"


    Upon hearing Jun Qianyan''s words, Gu Yao was immediately angered. He wanted to go up and beat him up, but Ye Zhangbai and Ji Bai stopped him.


    "Calm down."


    The two of them pulled at him with each hand as they spoke and pushed him back into the chair.


    However, Gu Yao''s expression was still extremely displeased.


    "Grandma." Jun Qiyan lightly glanced at Gu Yao for a moment, then put his legs down.


    He placed his hands on the table like a well-behaved child.


    Jun Qiyan whispered into the old granny''s ear, "Since I''m not going to investigate, can you tell me why so many people died in such a short time when the Liu Estate is so big?"


    When the grandma saw the curiosity in his clean eyes, she also whispered to him, "This old one will tell you about this, don''t tell the second one."


    "Alright."


    Jun Qiyan immediately nodded as he solemnly replied in a low voice.


    "In fact, the Liu Family was exterminated overnight!"


    "Ah?" It''s so tragic! " Jun Qiyan''s face revealed a shocked expression.


    How did he manage to exterminate his entire family in just one night? Besides, the Liu Family was a big family with so many relatives scattered all over the place. How could they all die in one night?


    Jun Qiyan asked curiously, "Is this true? "The Liu Family is so big, how could they all die?"


    "You don''t know. On the night of the Liu Family''s wedding, it was the night of the Liu Family''s Little Thousand Gold. All the Liu Family members came back to congratulate them. That was why their families were exterminated."


    The old granny frowned and told her, "That night, all the Liu Family members died without a sound. It was not until the morning of the next day that they were unintentionally discovered that their families had been exterminated."


    Seeing that the old granny seemed to know a lot, he continued to ask curiously, "The old granny is so amazing, how do you know all these things? Do you know who the Liu Family offended? "


    "These are all things that this old man had unintentionally heard from others the other day. Although everyone might seem like they didn''t know about it on the surface, everyone actually knows about it. I''m just not saying it out loud for fear of bringing disaster upon myself."


    As the old granny spoke, she was praised by Jun Qiyan to the point that her eyes were wide open. She then whispered, "This old man doesn''t know about this. You only need to know that the Liu Family is in trouble."


    "Alright." On the surface, Jun Qianyan looked happy as he spoke, but in his heart, he was secretly pondering over the information he had just gathered.


    It seemed that he still needed to go to the Liu Family.


    That night, Jun Qiyan and his men stayed the night.


    At night, the rain outside had stopped, and the sound of dripping onto the ground was just right.


    Jun Qiyan took advantage of the fact that the elderly were asleep to leave the room and go to the other room.


    Because Gu Yao felt that she wasn''t on good terms with their scheme, he forcefully asked the two elders to take her to a room alone. The beauty didn''t want to see her, while the other men were in the same room.


    As a result, when she arrived in their room dressed in daytime clothes, all of the men in the room were unbuttoning their clothes and playing around.


    Everyone was stunned when they saw Jun Qiyan push open the door and enter.


    "What are you doing here!" Gu Yao immediately asked in dissatisfaction.


    Jun Qiyan rolled her eyes. "Of course I''m here to tell you about what I''ve learned from those two elders."


    When the crowd heard this, they hurriedly sat down and didn''t play around. When they heard Jun Qianyan''s words, they were also very surprised. Soon after, they figured out the reason behind what she had done that day, and a joyful smile appeared in their eyes.


    "You have some skill!" As Feng Chenlang spoke, he walked up to her and put his arm around her shoulders, "This friend of yours is truly ungrateful. He didn''t even discuss with me and caused me to misunderstand you for a long time."


    Jun Qiyan rolled her eyes at him, then hurriedly removed his hand from her shoulder. Not wanting to waste time with him, she told him everything she had heard, as well as her plans.


    When everyone heard this, they didn''t have any objections. Jun Qiyan immediately returned to his room.


    Early the next morning, the group left the two old men''s home and entered the Liu Family again.


    Jun Qiyan opened up the corpses one by one. Everyone gasped in admiration at the proficiency with the knife wounds on the examiners.


    Feng Chen Lang suddenly said to Jun Qiyan with a serious face, "Mo Jiu! You are a real man! He was usually with Mo Jiu ¡­ You must be one of them! "


    Everyone looked at Feng Chenlang''s stubborn and suicidal appearance as they quietly left. They were afraid that a certain someone would go berserk and spill blood on the spot.


    The others, along with Jun Qiyan, started to examine the corpse carefully.


    "All of you, check these people''s wounds." After inspecting a few corpses, he frowned and said to the others.


    Ye Changsheng silently listened from the side, then carefully examined something else. He said, "These wounds were caused by a blade."


    Feng Chen Lang thought for a bit and said, "The wound on the blade is different ¡­ "This ¡­" He looked at Jun Qiyan in confusion, wanting to know what she was thinking.


    However, Gu Yao continued to guess and said:


    "I think it was done by some force. The Liu Family must have offended some powerful force. That was why they sent out an Aurous Core stage cultivator to exterminate their family. That was to do it quietly!"


    Although it was rare to find an Aurous Core stage cultivator, in front of some big powers, there were still some.


    "Not necessarily. The Liu Family is a subsidiary force of the Tanas Academy. No force would risk offending the Tanas Academy to destroy the Liu Family. I think that the Liu Family is more willing to offend some Rogue Immortals."


    After a moment of silence, Ye Changsheng continued.


    Only Jun Qiyan pursed her lips and did not speak. She always felt that something was wrong ¡­ However, even if she had doubts in her heart, she couldn''t find any evidence.


    Seeing that she didn''t say anything, Feng Chen Lang asked, "What do you think?"


    Jun Qiyan shook her head. If there was no evidence, she wouldn''t be able to refute him.

 C87

    "You guys go and see if there are any problems with the food." Jun Qiyan said after pondering for a moment.


    After the time it takes to burn an incense stick, Gu Yao and his men couldn''t find anything else apart from the poison in the wine. The few of them didn''t want to waste time, so they all moved to another area to search for it.


    Jun Qiqi felt that things were unlike what Gu Yao had firmly believed was only the extermination of the Jindan Stage. Thus, she separated from the crowd and stayed alone to inspect the hundred terrifying corpses.


    "Poisonfeather!" Can you stay here alone? "


    Just as Jun Qiqi was about to reach out for a rotting corpse, Feng Chen Lang''s voice suddenly reached her ears, causing her heart to skip a beat.


    "It''s not like I''m so scared that I spit out my supper like you." she said snappily.


    Feng Chen saw that Mu Du''s expression wasn''t too beautiful and felt that he was asking for trouble. He chuckled, then turned around and left.


    Only when Feng Chen Lang had left did Jun Qi turn around. She took a deep breath and reached out her hand to touch the rotten skin of the dead man in front of her. Her pinky finger pinched the two teeth on the corpse''s cheek. At the same time, blood dripped from the corner of the man''s mouth, and a rotten stench assaulted her nose.


    Jun Qiqi''s expression changed as she quickly grabbed a fat rat with a flash, and tried to catch the man''s blood.


    The rat was drenched in blood and looked very uncomfortable. As soon as Jun Qiqi let go of it, it rolled on the ground, licking its claws and scratching its fur. Enduring the stench, Jun Qiqi stared fixedly at the rat. After a long while, the rat suddenly fell to the ground and stopped moving.


    She quickly put her finger on the rat''s heart and found that its heart was still beating and not weak at all. At that time, Jun Qiqi had somewhat understood that it was only a medicine used to mask one''s perspiration.


    To be sure, she managed to catch a few more rats, dab some grass into the mouths of some of the corpses, and force them into the mouths of the rats. If nothing unexpected happened after a quarter-of-an-hour, all of them would fall to the ground, but they would still be able to breathe.


    Just as I expected. Jun Qiqi said in her heart.


    If poison could directly poison a person to death, then there was no need to kill him with a sword. It seemed like the murderer had released a camouflage drug to numb the crowd and then passed out before attempting to kill them.


    If that was the case, even if the Liu Family wasn''t of the Aurous Core stage or above, they could still destroy the Liu Family. After all, those who were paralyzed by the battle were powerless to retaliate, and they had no idea what kind of bloody people they were facing.


    Jun Qiqi felt that her analysis was very reasonable. Her heart was pounding, and her hands were trembling as she examined the wounds on their necks.


    Without exception, they were all sword wounds, and judging from the strength of the wound and the technique used, it should have been done by a single person.


    "Just how great a grudge is this ¡­" she murmured.


    "What?"


    Just as Jun Qiqi was lost in her own thoughts, the sound of her voice made her jump again. She subconsciously thought it was Feng Chen Lang, so she snappily turned her head to look at him. "Are you asking for a beating ¡­"


    Before she could finish, she looked at Gu Yao''s gradually darkening face and abruptly stopped talking. The corners of her mouth curled up dryly.


    "Did you find anything?" Mo Jiu asked.


    Jun Qiqi nodded and told them the results of her observations. When the others heard this, they were all shocked.


    "He killed so many people in one night, how could no one discover him?" Jing and Ji Bai frowned. They turned around and carefully observed the wounds on the body.


    The rest of the people looked at each other and checked the wounds on the corpses beside them. Jun Qiqi checked along with Di Mo Jiu, not moving an inch away from him.


    After some observation, they discovered that it was exactly as Jun Qiqi had said. All of the wounds were in the middle of the neck, and the angle of the wounds were slanted from left to right.


    "Mo Du, you''re so powerful!" After confirming the truth, Feng Chenlang looked at Jun Qiqi with a face full of admiration.


    "Cough, then what are we going to search for?" Ye Changsheng asked.


    Perhaps it was because the plants and trees here were spiritless and could not communicate with the spirit, but his ability did not help in any way, so he did other things to put in a lot of effort.


    "I think that since this person can cure everyone, he must be able to enter the Liu Estate without being discovered. Do you guys think this person is someone from the Liu Estate?"


    Gu Yao''s eyes suddenly jumped and he asked Jun Qiqi, "You''re saying that the Liu Estate made it themselves?"


    "At the moment, it''s just a guess. Who knows how many people there are in the Liu Estate? "Maybe someone sneaked in to kill someone and ran away."


    "There is an ancestral hall in the backyard of the Liu Estate." Mo Jiu said indifferently.


    "That''s right!" Feng Chen Lang smacked his head and said happily, "Then can''t we count the number and compare it with the ancestral hall''s register?"


    Jun Qiqi was standing with her hands behind her back. She knitted her brows and asked with suspicion, "How do those servants and guests count?"


    "A famous family in the Liu Mansion. Their clothes are all luxurious and their faces are hard to recognize. They can dress well." Mo Jiu looked at Jun Qiqi and said faintly.


    Di Mo Jiu didn''t really like to talk, but the moment he opened his mouth, it would give people a clear feeling, which was something Jun Qi liked a lot. She smiled and nodded. Subconsciously, she moved closer to him and said to everyone, "Then let''s begin!"


    Everyone started to move separately. Although the corpses were rotten, they could still be counted clearly. Soon, the corpses were counted clearly.


    "A hundred." Feng Chen Lang said.


    "Come, let''s go to the ancestral hall of the Liu Family." Jun Qiqi said.


    The direction of the ancestral hall was very good. It was extremely clear as it sat facing south. Although no one had lit a candle, the sunlight was enough to see everything clearly.


    A few people walked forward and offered three incense sticks worth of time. After bowing and bowing, they boldly started counting.


    "Speaking of which, no matter what, it''s still an aristocratic clan. Not only did no one collect the corpses, even the burning candles in the ancestral hall were extinguished. This really makes one sigh ¡­" Feng Chen Lang sighed and smacked his lips, getting ruthlessly punched by Jun Qi.


    Jun Qi was mumbling the words'' the dead are big ''while looking at the register in the ancestral hall. She raised her eyes and saw the incense stick with the memorial tablets. She didn''t dare to imagine what would happen if she placed these hundred memorial tablets on them.


    "Strange," Ye Changsheng''s slightly emaciated face wrinkled. Mo Tong looked at Jun Qiqi and weirdly said, "I''ve counted it several times, and it was always a hundred and two."


    "It''s one hundred and twenty indeed." Di Mo Jiu nodded.


    Jun Qiqi was a little closer to Di Mo Jiu. She asked in a low voice with uncertainty, "In other words, someone from the Liu Family is still alive. Could they have witnessed what happened yesterday?"


    Di Mo Jiu frowned as he looked at the names in the ancestral hall. He had just observed that the women in the corpses were all elderly, but the old woman was not the only person on the list.


    "The corpses of the Chinese Clothes ladies are long. Could it be that there are no younger females in the Liu Estate?" Jun Qiqi asked as she recalled the situation she had just observed.


    "There aren''t many female members in the Liu Estate. They are young, aren''t they?" Jing Jubai used his keen observation skills to quickly scan through the roster. He suddenly exclaimed, "... Only the young miss and the lady of the Liu Estate are left! "


    "In other words, those two are the Liu Estate''s daughter and her biological mother?" Jun Qiqi couldn''t believe it, and asked doubtfully, "Two women who are weak like chickens, even if they could use medicine to cover their sweat in food and wine, surely they wouldn''t be so ruthless as to kill so many people?" "Besides, Miss and Madam don''t have the ability to kill people."

 C88

    Jun Qiqi frowned as she felt that something wasn''t quite right. Now that the two of them had disappeared for no reason, it was not reasonable for her to look at the corpses that littered the ground.


    "Does anyone know where the missing person is?" Jun Qiqi looked around at everyone present, only to see that none of them seemed to have anything to do with her.


    After all, whoever talked about the murder had something to do with it. Especially a big family like the Liu Family, which was wiped out all of a sudden, leaving only the two of them to run away.


    The expression on the face of the man beside her was strange. It was hard to tell if he was smiling or deep in thought. It was as if he already had an answer on his mind.


    "What do you think is going on?" Jun Qiqi was also currently in a daze, and couldn''t wrap her head around the matter at all. She could only turn around and look at the people around her.


    "If you knew it would turn out like this, why did you have to share this muddy water?" Di Mo Jiu just laughed in a low voice.


    "If you don''t investigate, I can settle this myself!" It was obvious that Jun Qiqi was choking because of Di Mo Jiu''s words, and her face was turning pale. She could only force herself to speak up.


    However, that person didn''t try to keep her in suspense. Just as she was about to explain, she heard a little girl scurrying out from the crowd.


    The little girl''s clothes were slightly worn out, but they were not clean at all. The two braids were tied to his head with two red ropes. Apart from the hair that was a bit messy, there was nothing else special about them.


    "I know who was here." The little girl looked a little timid, but she still stood up when this person was in danger.


    The little girl''s eyes were clear and bright, revealing innocence and looking extremely likeable. Jun Qiqi looked around at the little girl. She was probably also a relatively well-off child, but what did she know?


    "Little girl, don''t worry. We will definitely find out who killed the Liu Family in exchange for a hundred or so people of the Liu Family. It''s just that ¡­" "Little girl, where is your family now?"


    Jun Qiqi only felt that this child came to join in on the fun, but didn''t pay much attention to it. However, the little girl was really anxious, and was dancing and gesticulating with joy.


    The little girl suddenly walked up to Di Mo Jiu who was standing beside her, staring at him. Her pair of delicate eyebrows slightly wrinkled, giving off the appearance of a young adult, "Big Brother, do you trust Xiaoyu''s words?"


    "Whether you believe it or not depends on what you know about Xiao Yu."


    "I saw a man come out of the bloody gate. That person wore black clothes and was taller than the sister beside him. His shoes were embroidered in red and looked somewhat pretty.


    I originally thought that person''s black clothes and red shoes were quite comical, but I didn''t expect something like this to happen. " Xiao Yu was able to tell that the person was dressed without the slightest hesitation and acted like a detective who had solved a crime.


    However, Jun Qiqi couldn''t help but wonder how such a young child could be so calm. Even if someone had deliberately arranged such a play for her, it was impossible for a child to recite the details of a criminal''s clothing in such a recalcitrant manner.


    "Then do you know where that person went afterwards ¡­" Jun Qiqi was about to ask after them when she saw a woman in an emerald green skirt with silver steps rushing towards them.


    Jun Qiqi wanted to dodge, but was stopped by a wave of her hand.


    The woman saw Xiao Yu, who was about to speak, quickly covered her mouth and took her away.


    Jun Qiqi thought to herself, this isn''t good. The only clue I have is something that can''t be broken right here! However, just as she was about to give chase and was stopped by Di Mo Jiu, the woman in the emerald green skirt also felt that her actions were inappropriate. She immediately stopped and bowed to the two.


    "Please do not take offense to my two young masters. My daughter has been muddleheaded recently so she came here to spout nonsense. I hope you two young masters do not take this to heart." The woman''s face was filled with panic as she spoke to the two of them. Di Mo Jiu did not hesitate to bid his farewells and let them leave first.


    Jun Qiqi was about to ask Di Mo Jiu why she wanted to stop her, but she saw that the latter had already left without a trace.


    "This Di Mo Jiu!"


    When the sun set, they returned to the inn.


    However, this time was not the same as his first time here, he was in a good mood. On the contrary, with this kind of murder, no one would be able to stay out of it.


    What''s more, he could sleep peacefully.


    "Since this matter is so strange, it must be related to the several great sects present here." Feng Chen Lang sat there and thought for a while before coming to a conclusion.


    "I don''t need you to say that, but the question is just how do we catch the real mastermind." Beijing''s Ji Bai rolled his eyes. He obviously didn''t want to be the Feng Chen Lang inside.


    "You two don''t want to make a ruckus there, it''s more important to catch the real culprit right now. I think that if there are large sects among them, then the remaining Sword Spirit Sect would be suspicious. " Jun Qiqi poured herself a cup of tea and continued to meditate.


    It was just that the little girl called Xiao Yu that she met this morning was still lingering in her mind.


    She had always felt that the sudden appearance of that woman, Xiao Yu''s mother, was too much of a coincidence. She didn''t know whether this was a trap they had set or an opportunity to get close to the answer to the mistake.


    But the only thing that was certain was that there had to be a connection.


    After a long discussion, they still weren''t able to come up with an answer. Jun Qiqi thought that it was possible that her bowstring had broken too fast, and it was time to go out and relax.


    Only then did he leave the inn and return to the street. He just did not expect to meet people from the Sword Spirit Sect on the street.


    "Fellow Daoist, what are you doing here?" Jun Qiqi took two steps forward and placed a hand on the shoulder of one of the female disciples.


    As soon as the female disciple turned her head around, she saw Jun Qiqi, but she didn''t know who it was that had caused this question.


    "How?" "It''s just a dish." Although the female disciple had some grudges in her heart, she still spoke the truth.


    "Oh ¡­" "It''s nothing. It''s just that your clothes look really good, and the material seems to be quite expensive. I also want to ask which cloth village did you come from." When Jun Qiqi heard that they had come out to buy vegetables, she immediately lost interest. She prepared a set of steps for herself, then immediately fled.


    Seeing that this person was fine, the female disciple silently cursed in her heart before leaving with a smile on her face.


    It was only late at night when Jun Qiqi was still a bit worried. She had actually followed a disciple of the Sword Spirit Sect.


    From this, it could be seen that they had indeed gone out to purchase some items, so they hadn''t paid too much attention to them. However, the people who came out to purchase items at night were the people they had met in the morning. There were so many of them, and so many of them had the ability to do so.


    There was a little girl following beside that disciple, and she looked somewhat similar to Xiao Yu''s back this morning.


    Jun Qiqi couldn''t help but ask herself what was going on behind their backs. Dao Ke followed them for a long time, but still couldn''t get an answer out of them.


    Jun Qiqi didn''t pay much attention to this. She waited until they had passed through the gates of the city, and then went back without a worry.

 C89

    The next morning.


    The good thing about inns and inns was that there were all kinds of people. Just by casually walking to the side, one could hear some interesting anecdotes and anecdotes.


    Naturally, Jun Qiqi was no exception. She even abnormally enjoyed such a peaceful time.


    "Aiyo, did you guys hear that? It was the Liu Family that had been robbed two days ago. I heard that only a mother and daughter ran out in the end, and their whereabouts are still unknown. Furthermore, that young miss is as beautiful as a flower, I wonder what would happen outside. "


    "Aiyo, that''s right. Don''t ruin this good girl!"


    "Besides, escaping isn''t necessarily a good thing. The survival of orphans and widows is a problem ¡­"


    Jun Qiqi listened as they chatted nonchalantly. A plate of peanuts was crackling on the table. It was obvious they had an interesting look on their faces, and Jun Qiqi was clearly interested in this.


    Jun Qiqi also followed her example, placing a jug of wine on the table and then moving a chair over to talk to him. "My fellow brothers, please continue. I''m just a stranger. I just happened to hear from my brothers that Miss Liu was mentioned. If you have any interest, come and listen to the corner of the wall."


    The few of them were wearing clean clothes and had neatly combed hair. It was obvious that they were not in the same group as those who only knew how to drink tea.


    However, looking at the golden light in the eyes of the young man, it was obvious that he also wanted to know more.


    "Little brother, you don''t know this, but the fate of that little girl from the Liu Family is tragic. Her father was abandoned, and he was charmed by a fox auntie. Not only did her mother not say anything, she even humiliated him to death!"


    A burly man with a full beard grabbed a handful of peanuts and stuffed them into his mouth. He then drank a bit of the wine, his face flushing red. It was obvious that he was quite drunk.


    When the others saw this, they called for the next person to continue.


    "It''s not only that. Miss Liu has the face of a flower and the moon. Furthermore, she is knowledgeable and knowledgeable. She can be considered a famous talented girl in a radius of tens of miles! That rich squire, and even those other Elementary Scholars who were like that, wanted to marry Miss Liu! "What a pity ¡­" The other one looked at the young one and said, "Stop it."


    "What a pity!"


    "You didn''t know that even though Old Master Liu''s family is considered wealthy, his family property would be in his hands and he would lose it bit by bit."


    "And that''s the only daughter of Old Master Liu who can give those rich people a chance. This Old Master Liu sold his daughter off without even thinking and became their concubine. You say that such a good lady is unable to become a legal wife and yet you want her to become your concubine?


    "Not to mention Miss Liu''s mother, just that fox, Meizi, had already screwed the entire Liu Family up miserably. If you were to say that this Master Liu ate some medicine and was obsessed with it, then this beating and scolding to Miss Liu would hurt my heart even if I heard the rumors!"


    The next few people continued to speak at the same time again. They spoke one after the other. It was more like a tragic story.


    Jun Qiqi was stunned when she heard this. She felt sorry for this Miss Liu in her heart.


    It was unknown if the heavens were jealous of the beauty who had such a famous talent and thus ended up like this.


    However, Jun Qiqi still felt that there was something to this murder case ¡­


    The matter in the inn came to an end, and the investigation continued for two days without any progress.


    This result made everyone anxious. After all, they would have to agree to the promise they had made at the beginning.


    However, Jun Qiqi hadn''t expected that she would receive an invitation from the Sword Spirit Sect!


    The meaning behind his words was very simple. It was just like hearing that the students of Tynes Academy were wandering outside, wanting them to reminisce about the past.


    Although Jun Qiqi''s expression didn''t change, it still set off a huge wave. She was probably not the only one that had invited them to this matter. It seemed that she had to discuss some countermeasures in advance.


    As soon as Jun Qiqi returned to her room, she saw that the others were all gathered around the table, while the leader of the group, Di Mo Jiu, was still as unfathomable as ever.


    He had a straight face, but from time to time, he would laugh, making people feel baffled.


    "Did any of you receive that invitation?" Jun Qiqi didn''t bother to cover up and directly went straight to the point.


    The people at the table, however, all looked confused, not knowing what invitation it was.


    "I assume you are talking about the Sword Spirit Sect''s invitation." Di Mo Jiu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up at this moment.


    Before Jun Qiqi could react, she could only blankly nod her head, and what she received in return was the laughter of others, whether intentionally or unintentionally.


    "You and I should have received it. It''s just that you suddenly invited us to be your guests. I wonder if this is an empty city or a Hongmen Banquet." Di Mo Jiu''s slightly doubtful tone made everyone present feel like they had misheard.


    After all, in their hearts, Di Mo Jiu had always been someone who could be a ''prophet''.


    Who told him to act like a God? It was as if everything was under his control.


    "How do you know?" Feng Chen Lang and Jing Ji Bai, who had been acting as the vases, also spoke up at this moment.


    "Ignoring the fact that this Sword Spirit Sect has nothing to do with us, we don''t usually see any connection between the academy and the sect. And now that we''re out on a tour, I think we''ve got a lockdown on the wind. "


    However, we still received the invitation, and also encountered a major incident like the Liu Family. Perhaps they might have guessed that we were here to investigate this matter, and if the Sword Spirit Sect had something to do with this incident, then it would be a Hongmen feast. If it was just an invitation, then it would be an empty city.


    Di Mo Jiu was talking to himself while the others were thinking about the ''Hongmen Banquet'' and the ''Empty City''.


    "I don''t think there has been any progress on the investigation recently anyway. Since she has invited them, it would be embarrassing for them not to go. "What''s more, I don''t know how long I''ll have to wait until I get back." Jun Qiqi immediately came to a conclusion, and the others all agreed without any objections.


    The few of them hurriedly went to ask the instructor, but the teacher didn''t say anything. He only warned them to be careful of their safety, and there were no other requirements.


    Things had gone too well for them along the way, causing them to forget their purpose in coming out on this trip.


    However, she hadn''t made any progress in her investigation of the Liu Family. The rumors she had heard in the tavern today were enough to arouse Jun Qiqi''s suspicions, not to mention Xiao Yu.


    However, there was no basis for such suspicions, so it would be difficult to say anything.


    Jun Qiqi and a few others boarded a flying boat. The speed of the flying boat was extremely fast. Soon, a small group of people arrived at the Sword Spirit Sect!

 C90

    When the Sword Spirit Sect''s Elder heard that one of her subordinates had reported that a student of Tynes Academy had arrived, she immediately went out to welcome them.


    Jun Qiqi saw a white-haired old man jogging over with many disciples of the Sword Spirit Sect.


    "Everyone is here." The old man smiled kindly at Jun Qiqi and the other students, then cupped his hands and bowed to them.


    The old man from the Sword Spirit Sect stepped aside, "Everyone, please." She wanted to personally accompany them into the sect with a smile on her face.


    Jun Qiqi and the others secretly exchanged glances. This old man was polite to them and made them feel that there was something strange about him, but they still nodded their heads and followed him.


    The interior decorations of the Sword Spirit Sect were quite unique. Not only was there not a single ordinary pavilion, but just as they entered the door, they saw a huge stone sword standing behind the huge door. Behind the huge sword was a huge Eight Trigram Formation, which seemed to be a martial stage.


    The Sword Spirit Sect elder first took the group on a stroll around the sect, and from time to time, she could see the disciples practicing. Jun Qiqi and the others felt a sense of novelty. They had never seen the Sword Spirit Sect''s cultivation method, so they stopped to watch from time to time. The old man neither stopped them nor urged them to do so.


    Jun Qiqi felt even more baffled. All of the sects and clans were hiding their techniques, afraid that someone else might want to learn them. However, the Sword Spirit Sect was different.


    The back of the Sword Spirit Sect''s head was also different from the other sects. It was actually an herb field. It was spring. The medicinal plants were dark green and exuded a unique fragrance as they swayed in the breeze. There were no longer those disciples of the Sword Spirit Sect who were familiar with the area, and in the middle of the herb field was a little girl wearing a pink jacket.


    She was sitting alone in the middle of the herb field with her two cute ponytails. Her hair was blown up by the breeze, just like the leaves on the herb.


    Jun Qiqi felt strange. There wasn''t a single person here, so why was there a young girl sitting there in a daze? He was lost in his thoughts and couldn''t help but take a step forward, wanting to enter that dark green area.


    "Hey hey hey, that girl!" What are you doing? " A bellow rang out from behind her, and suddenly Jun Qiqi came back to her senses. She realized that beneath her toes was a field of tender green buds.


    When he turned his head to look at the speaker, he saw an old man dressed in a short robe rushing over with a wooden ladle in his hand.


    Jun Qiqi withdrew her foot, and immediately apologized to the old man. She turned her head again, and saw that the little girl had already left. Before she left, she looked towards Jun Qiqi with cold eyes.


    Why was the gaze of a little girl like this? Jun Qiqi couldn''t figure it out, but she didn''t want to pursue it either. The instructor looked at Jun Qiqi, and she gave him a puzzled look.


    The Sword Spirit Sect elder frowned as if she felt that there was something wrong with this meeting, but she still continued to lead Jun Qiqi and the others through the great Sword Spirit Sect with a smile on her face.


    It was already evening by this time, and everyone felt that it was about time. Thus, they bid farewell to the elder of the Sword Spirit Sect, who insisted on escorting them to the entrance.


    After receiving such courtesy today, everyone cupped their fists towards the Sword Spirit Sect elder before they left. The elder smiled and waved her hand, then exchanged a few more words in front of the entrance before she unknowingly asked about the case.


    Jun Qiqi was watching coldly from the side. This old man didn''t seem to be doing it on purpose, but her every word and sentence was secretly brought to bear on the case. She couldn''t help but wonder if there was something fishy about this case.


    The old man probed the crowd, and after finding out that there was no progress in the case, he seemed to be relieved, and the expression on his face relaxed a little. If it wasn''t for the fact that Jun Qiqi was secretly watching the old man''s expression, she probably wouldn''t have noticed the change in his smile.


    "This case of the Liu Family is indeed very thorny. If you need this old man to help you with anything during the investigation, then I am duty-bound." The old man from the Sword Spirit Sect said to her instructor.


    The instructor also felt that the old man was a bit too concerned, but he didn''t make any mistakes in his words. Therefore, although the instructor had his doubts, he still buried them in his heart. He cupped his hands toward the old man and replied, "We appreciate the Sword Spirit Sect''s kindness."


    The old man''s face stiffened. He did not expect that Tanas Academy would not even give him any face, and his smile froze on the spot. However, it was not good for him to act up in front of everyone, so he could only change the topic and change the topic.


    After the group left the Sword Spirit Sect, Jun Qiqi didn''t stay idle either. She had already become suspicious of the Sword Spirit Sect''s elder''s strange behavior just now, so she had her teachers and disciples go back first while she inquired about the news.


    He had not expected to find out much about the information, but he did manage to gather some information.


    It was the Xiao family in the east, the Lin family in the west, and a few small families.


    The story on the streets was mysterious. As Jun Qiqi listened to it, she felt that these cases were very similar to the ones that had occurred in the Liu Family.


    There were 102 Liu Family members, but only 100 corpses were left at the scene of the tragedy. Only the mother and daughter were missing. The Xiao family, Lin family, and the other families also had similar scenes.


    Jun Qiqi could not help guessing what was going on, but these cases sounded very similar to each other on the surface, and it didn''t seem like that at all. Her heart was thrown into disarray, and all the clues were like a tangled thread that wound itself around her heart.


    Jun Qiqi felt that something was amiss, but she couldn''t find out what was amiss. She also heard the conversation between the two people by the side of the road, so she decided to investigate. Perhaps, she might be able to hear something from the mouths of others.


    "Excuse me, where are the Xiao Clan and Lin Clan?" The two people who were happily talking about the tragedy were stunned, as if they were greatly shocked by the person''s words.


    Upon seeing that the person spying on them was a young lady, both of their faces paled: "Young lady, let me tell you, the Xiao Clan and the Lin Clan cannot go there. Their entire family is dead and the smell of blood will not dissipate for a long time, this is not a place a young lady like you can go."


    One of them kindly reminded, while the other also nodded his head and continued, "That''s right, the Xiao Clan and Lin Clan are extremely evil now. I heard that they can hear ghosts crying at night." As the two of them spoke, their faces were filled with fear.


    "Is there something wrong with the Xiao Clan''s and Lin Clan''s?" Seeing that the two of them seemed to have some understanding of the events that had occurred in the Xiao Clan, Jun Qiqi inquired.


    The man thought for a moment, then said to Jun Qi Qi Qi: "From the investigation done by those constables, they seem to feel that there is something missing from Xiao Lin''s two residences."


    Jun Qiqi felt as if she had been struck by lightning. When she heard these words, she immediately asked, "That little bit ¡­ isn''t it the spirit energy of plants and vegetation?"

 C91

    Although it was too frightening to assume that the Liu Family had been exterminated by a single person, Jun Qiqi believed that she must have been right. There must be a special purpose behind all this.


    The Liu Family was exterminated. Perhaps it could be defined as the Liu Family being murdered or someone with ulterior motives trying to start a fight with the Tanas Academy. However, the following cases meant that things were not as they had guessed at the beginning.


    The essence of nature was the only way out.


    Jun Qiqi, "the voice of the ball suddenly rang out. Jun Qiqi paused for a moment, then carefully listened," When it comes to the essence of plants and vegetation, I actually thought of a secret art that could change fate and forcefully prolong one''s life. However, not only is this method dangerous, it wasn''t easy to achieve either.


    "What kind of secret art is it? Tell me how to execute it." When Jun Qiqi heard the words "resurrected dead", she had a faint premonition. But whether or not the details matched the situation, she still had to investigate deeply.


    "It can only be created by using metal, wood, water, fire, earth, light, and darkness spiritual roots, as well as the essence of vegetation as an offering." The ball told the whole story of the secret method.


    These cases were very similar to each other. According to this method, the disciples might have chosen the method of extermination to deceive people. Fortunately, they had thoroughly investigated the information of the deceased in order to investigate the case conveniently.


    The location of these tragedies were not too far apart, and the time difference wasn''t too long either. The killer even risked being found out, and had to do so even when he was found out. If the culprit was not stupid, then he was too weak to leave, and time was tight as well.


    Based on the statistics of the spiritual roots of the deceased, the killer''s next target would most likely be ¡­


    "The next person should probably be Jing and Ji Bai, you guys have to be careful." The ball''s reminder immediately followed, "He has light attribute spiritual roots."


    If the murderer''s goal was to carry out this secret technique, then the spirit root that needed to be gathered just so happened to lack a light attribute spirit root. Moreover, their investigation would definitely be no small hindrance to the culprit behind this, so to make a move against them would be a very good method of killing two birds with one stone.


    Since he had such solid guesses, he might as well take a gamble and prepare himself to enter the pot instead of running around randomly and getting toyed with.


    Furthermore, this person was capable of exterminating the Liu Family without making any noise, and had also committed so many atrocities in succession. He was definitely a ruthless person. Jun Qiqi and Ji Bai were from the same institute, and they were close friends. Even if it was just a risk, she could not just sit by idly and do nothing.


    Without further ado, Jun Qiqi went to find Ji Bai and explained the situation clearly. After discussing it, the two decided to stay for a few days at Ji Bai''s place.


    Since that person was capable, he must be extremely astute to be able to do so many tragic things in such a silent manner. If there were too many people lying in ambush, the murderer would inevitably find out about it.


    Jun Qi and Jing Ji Bai had worked together to set up a defensive array formation in front of Ji Bai''s room. If anyone stepped in or destroyed the array, Jun Qi and Jing Ji Bai would be the first to discover that the two of them were working together.


    "Muk Jiu, although you''re acting so stealthily, aren''t you a little too risky?" However, Jing Ji Bai could not be at ease. After all, the other party might be a Jindan Stage expert. "It''s better if I call Mo Jiu to accompany you."


    "Don''t worry, I will inform everyone to keep an eye out for them. As long as something happens, they will immediately come." Jun Qiqi only smiled, and continued to persevere with her original plan.


    Seeing that Jun Qiqi was insistent, Ji Bai knew that the other party probably knew what she was doing, so she didn''t say anything more. The two of them made their preparations in accordance with the plan.


    At night, when the lights of the capital''s Ji Bai had been turned off as usual, Jun Qiqi was resting on the roof of the room, secretly waiting for her possible reaction.


    It was almost midnight, but Jun Qi and Ji Bai didn''t dare to leave. It was already late at night, and the time for them to make a move was about to come.


    The magic array in front of the door suddenly flashed with a faint light, and then it shattered into pieces. Jun Qi and Ji Bai tensed up in tacit understanding, but didn''t act rashly. The man quietly opened the door and entered the room.


    Just as that figure was about to reach the bed, Jing and Ji Bai rolled over and got up. Jun Qiqi had already rushed into the room and sealed the door.


    The man panicked and wanted to leave, but the door had already been sealed by Jun Qiqi. Opening the door was not a matter for some time, and the man seemed to want to rush out of the window.


    However, it was already too late, Jun Qi and Ji Bai had both used binding magic. The situation was out of their expectations and there was no fierce battle as expected. They didn''t even need Mo Jiu and the others to come, and that person was easily restrained.


    After causing so many tragedy, he was actually such a weak character? Or did they misunderstand something?


    Jun Qiqi used her hand to wipe away the light. When the two of them saw who it was, they were astonished. It was Liu Xiaoxiao.


    "You? Aren''t you Liu Xiaoxiao? Why is she here? Could it be you? " Jun Qiqi asked in astonishment.


    "What about me?" Seeing that there was no other way to escape, Liu Xiaoxiao simply stood on the spot with her head held high and looked at the two of them. Her smile contained a coldness and decisiveness that a person of her age shouldn''t have.


    "Why did you do such a thing? You are a member of the Liu Family. You killed the entire Liu Family just like that. Do you think you can do it?" Beijing''s Ji Bai glared at Liu Xiaoxiao. She was still so young, yet she had actually done such a terrible thing. It truly made people angry.


    "Yes, I''m from the Liu Clan. If you didn''t say it, I would have forgotten about it." Liu Xiaoxiao lowered her head and smiled. Half her face was hidden by the shadows, making it hard to see her expression.


    "I am a member of the Liu Family. That is why I want to kill all the people of the Liu Family! They all deserve to die! " Liu Xiaoxiao''s expression suddenly turned ferocious as she screamed with all her might.


    "If it weren''t for the Liu Family, how could my mother have died?! How did I end up being taken away to someone else?!


    My mother came from a prestigious clan and was a lady of a noble family. She was actually humiliated by those concubines and died in the hands of them. What about me? "I am the daughter of the Liu Family. I am innocent and proficient in music, calligraphy, and painting. To think that I would be reduced to being someone''s concubine."


    The little girl couldn''t control her tears as she broke through, "I can''t even compare to the money for the betrothal gift. Just what do they think I am ¡­"


    Jun Qi and Jing Bai were speechless.


    "I want to kill them! No matter the cost, I must revive my mother! She should live!

 C92

    As Jun Qiyan looked at Liu Xiaoxiao, who was on the verge of going insane, she couldn''t help but feel a sense of sadness. However, she still looked at her coldly.


    "I''m sorry about your mother, but did you ever think about how she felt?"


    Jun Qiyan sighed and continued.


    Liu Xiaoxiao was stunned.


    "What would your mother think if she knew that you were willing to hurt other innocent people for her sake?"


    Jun Qiyan knew that Madam Liu was a kind-hearted person. Normally, she wouldn''t even be willing to step on an ant.


    "You did not consider your mother''s feelings at all. A hundred years from now, you will also leave this world, but your mother will only remain in this world forever, becoming a walking corpse. She will never die!"


    Jun Qiyan sighed helplessly.


    Liu Xiaoxiao took two steps back as she muttered, "But I did it for Mother''s sake... She should be alive. "


    After saying that, Liu Xiaoxiao seemed to have received some sort of shock. She squatted on the floor with empty eyes, as if her soul had been extracted from her.


    The teacher in the dark had appeared at some point in time, and Feng Chenlang and the rest had hurried over.


    Everyone was dumbfounded as they looked at the people squatting down below.


    "Let''s take her back first."


    Jun Qiyan suggested after pondering for a moment.


    The tutor nodded lightly and agreed to let Jun Qiyan take her back.


    "Jing and Ji Bai, send out the signal for the academy to send people over."


    After giving his instructions, the instructor turned around, patted Jun Qiyan''s shoulder and softly said,


    "It''s been hard on you this time. All of you will be on duty in a bit, so that this girl won''t have to pay any more attention to you."


    Jun Qiyan and the others nodded, indicating that they had no objections.


    That night, Jun Qiyan arrived at the room where Liu Xiaoxiao was locked up. He looked at the unconscious person in front of him and tried to communicate with him.


    Not long after that, he heard the sound of something heavy falling on the ground outside the house ¡­


    "Boom ¡­"


    Jun Qiyan narrowed her eyes and stood up warily. It seemed as though Liu Xiaoxiao had not noticed anything.


    "Just keep staring and don''t try any tricks. You can''t leave this room. I''ll go out and see what''s going on outside. I''ll be right back."


    With that, Jun Qiyan quickly left the room and went outside to check.


    In the dark night, there were only bits of moonlight, and nothing could be seen in the darkness. Jun Qiyan was on high alert, afraid that something might happen.


    "Boom ¡­"


    With another loud sound, Jun Qiyan could no longer hold it in as she chased after the sound.


    "I want to see what kind of demons and devils they are."


    Jun Qiyan faintly saw a black shadow and guessed that it was the owner of the voice. She exerted her spirit energy and ran after the voice with all her might; she was determined to catch this person who was causing trouble.


    Jun Qiyan felt that something was amiss after chasing her for some distance. The man in black had drawn her further and further away from the camp.


    The shadow in front of a forest suddenly disappeared without a trace. Jun Qiyan instantly understood that he was luring the tiger out of its lair.


    "Damn it!"


    Jun Qiyan cursed inwardly as he turned around and hurried back to the camp.


    After rushing back to Liu Xiaoxiao''s house, she heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that the barrier around the door was still the same as when she left.


    Jun Qiyan entered the room and lit a candle. A dim light illuminated the room, but Liu Xiaoxiao was nowhere to be seen. Jun Qiyan''s heart sank as she silently cursed herself for being too careless.


    She quickly released the signal flare from her bosom. In less than the time it took to drink a cup of tea, Di Mo Jiu and his men had already rushed over with their Qing Gong.


    "What''s going on?" Di Mo Jiu was the first to speak without her even opening her mouth. He frowned and looked at her.


    Jun Qiyan pursed her lips and recounted what had just happened.


    Feng Chenlang''s expression changed greatly when he heard this: "Someone is obviously doing this on purpose!"


    "Sorry, it was my fault." Jun Qiyan said in self-blame.


    It was unknown when Beijing''s Ji Bai arrived, but he walked in with a gloomy face. "This matter is not your fault. Since the other party did it on purpose, it''s possible that we would be tricked as well."


    The capital''s Ji Bai calmly analyzed, while Gu Yao did not agree with his words in the slightest.


    He gnashed his teeth as he glared at Jun Qianyan, and spoke with an unfriendly expression, "If I were you, I would definitely not be like this boy!"


    Di Mo Jiu glanced at Gu Yao indifferently, causing others to be unable to see through his current emotions.


    "Right now, the most important thing for us to do is to find that little madman. Ye Changsheng, use your spiritual power first and see if we can find out where she is."


    Ye Changsheng nodded his head, then quickly closed his eyes and used his spiritual power. Not long after, he opened his eyes and anxiously said, "It''s a black-clothed person. He ran towards the north!"


    Everyone nodded and chased north.


    In the dark night, the man in black carried Liu Xiaoxiao on his shoulder as he ran through the forest with light footsteps.


    Liu Xiaoxiao didn''t make a sound along the way. She didn''t cry nor make a sound. Even though the black-clothed man was doubtful, she was still happy to see her being so obedient.


    Suddenly, Liu Xiaoxiao struggled violently. She pulled out a knife from somewhere and stabbed it into the black-clothed man''s back.


    "Let me go!" After saying that, she bit the black clothed man''s neck, unwilling to let go no matter what.


    Ah!" The man in black couldn''t help but scream out from the pain. His back was already injured, and blood was already flowing down his neck and into his collar.


    "I told you to let go!" He tried to push Liu Xiaoxiao away, but she was biting harder and harder. In a moment of desperation, he had no choice but to strike her back with his palm.


    Just as she finished speaking, Liu Xiaoxiao released the pain from her mouth. The man in black pushed her away with another palm strike, and with a hundred percent of his strength, Liu Xiaoxiao flew down from his body and crashed into a tree branch. With a grunt, she fell to the ground.


    The man in black checked his injuries. He touched his wound and looked at his hand. It was covered in blood.


    "Madman!" He cursed under his breath and looked in the direction of Liu Xiaoxiao. There was nothing there. Where was Liu Xiaoxiao?


    The man in black spat on the ground, gritted his teeth, and disappeared into the endless night.

 C93

    "Have you found it?" Jun Qiyan asked anxiously as he looked at the panting Ji Bai.


    Ye Changsheng shook his head. "It''s already too late, and with that black-clothed man''s strength above ours, even if he uses spiritual energy ¡­" "Sigh!" As he spoke, he sighed.


    He hadn''t finished speaking, but even if Jun Qianyan guessed, he could guess what he would say next. She had already seen his expression and knew that he was feeling guilty.


    "I wonder who this man in black is." She frowned.


    "Therefore, we should be more careful and not act rashly." Di Mo Jiu pursed his lips and thought for a while, then he said, "Then let''s go back first and inform the instructor, wait for the academy to send someone over before making a decision."


    Beijing''s Ji Bai, Gu Yao and the rest nodded their heads, expressing their agreement and turned back the way they came.


    It was still dawn. Jun Qiyan was staring at the ceiling, unable to sleep at all. Her eyes were bloodshot, and her hair was a mess. Only her clothes were neatly on her body.


    How could she not blame herself for Liu Xiaoxiao''s matter?


    But there was no way to continue waiting like this! Jun Qianyan abruptly sat up, looked at the color of the sky, then briefly washed up before heading out the door alone, sword in hand.


    Initially, Jun Qiyan had searched in the direction Liu Xiaoxiao had disappeared in. However, other than a pool of blood, there was no other clue.


    Jun Qiyan squatted down and carefully examined the blood on the ground. He couldn''t help but frown.


    "This blood should have been from last night. Based on what I said, she wouldn''t have met with any mishaps, right?" The more Jun Qianyan thought about it, the angrier he got. He cursed in a low voice, "You beast!"


    After saying that, she used her Qing Gong and quickly ran forward. However, she did not miss a single clue, hoping to find a clue about Liu Xiaoxiao.


    However, along the way, it was filled with fallen leaves. There weren''t even any footprints.


    Just as Jun Qiyan was scratching his head anxiously because he couldn''t find any clues, a benevolent old lady walked past him and patted his back.


    "Little girl, what are you looking for here?"


    This slap caused Jun Qiyan to jump in fright. She turned around and saw that it was an old granny. She respectfully clasped her hands and bowed.


    "Elder, I''m here to look for someone. I don''t know if you''ve ever seen a young girl who looks like a teenager. She''s so tall." Jun Qiyan gestured as he spoke, looking at the old woman with hopeful eyes.


    Leaning on her walking stick, the grandma spoke slowly, "I''ve never seen a little girl before, but this morning, the villagers were all discussing that an outsider had entered the forest."


    "There are a lot of magical beasts in the forest. The people in the village never approach that village. If it really is the person you were looking for, then she might be in danger."


    When Jun Qiyan heard these words, she thought for a moment. This person might be referring to the black-clothed man or Liu Xiaoxiao, but no matter what, she had to chase Liu Xiaoxiao back.


    After making up her mind, Jun Qiyan thanked her mother-in-law and asked for directions to the forest. She then started to practice her lightness skill and walked towards the forest.


    "It''s exactly as Grandma said!" Jun Qiyan gasped for breath as she held her sword.


    Fortunately, this place was full of low-ranked magic beasts, but there were a lot of them. She looked at the corpses on the ground and let out a sigh of relief. Then, she continued to walk forward.


    However, when he pushed aside the leaves, a bottomless cliff appeared before him. Liu Xiaoxiao''s tiny figure appeared before him.


    "Liu ¡­" Jun Qiyan was taken aback. Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Liu Xiaoxiao.


    "Don''t come near me!" Liu Xiaoxiao turned around with a determined expression on her face. There was no need for Jun Qianyan to think about it any longer; she could tell that she wanted to jump into the ring.


    Jun Qiyan took in a deep breath and lowered her voice, "Fine, I''m not going. Can we talk things out?"


    "There''s nothing to say." Liu Xiaoxiao turned around resolutely and no longer looked at her. It seemed as though she would leap down at any moment.


    As Jun Qiyan looked at the person who was seeking death, she could not help but have a headache. This person could not yet die.


    Liu Xiaoxiao ignored the person in front of her and leaped down.


    "Yin Muji!" Jing and Ji Bai''s voice came from not far away.


    Jun Qiyan seemed to have expected this outcome. She pulled Liu Xiaoxiao into her embrace, knocked her unconscious, and turned to face the source of the voice.


    He saw Jing and Ji Bai standing not far away, panting. Di Mo Jiu, who stood beside them, had a gloomy look on his face, and was also walking towards him.


    "You came at the right time, help me support her."


    This little girl''s words weren''t heavy nor light. Even though Jun Qiyan was able to hug her, she couldn''t use any qinggong and could only drag her back bit by bit.


    As Jun Qianyan was wondering how to get back, Di Mo Jiu and the rest arrived in time.


    Jun Qiyan hurriedly passed Liu Xiaoxiao over. When she saw Ji Bai accepting it, she stretched her arms and teased, "Why are you bringing so many people?"


    "Isn''t it because I''m worried about you! I came right here without seeing your signal. " Feng Chenlang said with a smile. As he spoke, his hand continued to move.


    Jun Qiyan couldn''t help but pout her lips as she watched his nimble movements. As expected of a man, his strength was greater ¡­


    She didn''t notice Di Mo Jiu who was standing beside her, and her face became even more gloomy.


    "Yin Mo Jiu, you didn''t sleep last night, right?"


    Di Mo Jiu said slowly, it was not a question, but a definite one.


    Jun Qiyan could not help but feel guilty. She turned her head to the side, stretched lazily, and said with a coy smile, "I must get a good night''s sleep when I get back ¡­"


    "You''re too uncaring of yourself." Di Mo Jiu interrupted him. Jun Qiyan could actually see a trace of anger in his eyes.


    Was it my imagination? She quickly turned her head away, avoiding Di Mo Jiu''s questioning gaze. She looked at Ye Changsheng who was sitting on a rock at the side. He had his eyes closed, currently using his spiritual power.


    She let out a light sigh and took the signal detonator from Ji Jingbai''s hand, shooting it towards the sky. "I hope there aren''t any more moths."


    When Gu Yao, who was standing to the side, heard this, he nodded his head in agreement, even though he hated Jun Qianyan even more.


    They had already been out on this mission of Liu Xiaoxiao''s for more than half a month. She did not want any mishaps to occur!


    "Even though I said that, I still have a bad premonition." Ye Changsheng frowned, withdrew his spiritual force, and slowly said.


    After everyone heard this, they were silent for a long time. Even Ye Changsheng had said this. Everyone''s heart sank, and their faces no longer held a relaxed and happy expression.


    "The flying boat is coming."


    Di Mo Jiu warned, and then took the lead in walking towards the flying boat, followed by Jun Qiyan.


    As soon as she boarded the boat, the swaying and swaying of the flying boat caused Jun Qiyan to feel extremely sleepy. She felt as if her eyelids were somewhat heavy, as if lead was being poured into them.


    Bit by bit, when Di Mo Jiu saw her expression, he couldn''t help but furrow his brows and sigh. He secretly placed his arm under Jun Qiyan''s head.

 C94

    Jun Qiyan was looking for Master Zhou in her dreams when she suddenly woke up with a start.


    The girl''s long eyelashes trembled as she slowly opened her captivating eyes.


    "What''s going on?"


    Jun Qiyan rubbed his head, his voice was still thick with sleepiness.


    "We''re surrounded!"


    Jun Qiyan was stunned at first, but then secretly cursed the capital''s Ji Bai Crow''s beak in his heart.


    "What''s going on?" Jun Qiyan hurriedly got up without paying attention to himself, and asked with a grave expression.


    "I don''t know. The other side is approaching menacingly. They must have been prepared."


    Ye Changsheng''s expression was grave, and his eyes that looked into the distance revealed a hint of coldness.


    "Mo Jiu, do you know who those people are?"


    Feng Chen Lang turned around and asked the people at the side. Unknowingly, everyone had already treated Di Mo Jiu as their pillar of support.


    Di Mo Jiu looked at the huge flying boat with a pair of dark eyes, making people not know what he was thinking. After that, Di Mo Jiu slowly nodded his head.


    Jun Qiyan looked in the direction of the crowd ¡­


    The spaceship was at least twice the size of their aircraft, and the jet black metal was wrapped around the fuselage, giving it a horrifying appearance. There were a few holes all around, and the inside was pitch black. It was unknown what they were meant to be used for.


    She narrowed her eyes and focused her gaze, but she still could not find anything out of the ordinary. Holding the sword, he took a fighting stance and looked at the flying boat warily.


    "Looking at the size of this boat, I''m afraid that it has twice the number of people compared to us." The two boats faced each other for a long time. Jun Qiyan had a bad premonition and quickly turned around to remind her.


    "Indeed, this kind of direct confrontation is not beneficial for us. Let''s first ask them about their motive first!" Feng Chenlang''s expression slightly paused, and after a moment of thought, he took the lead to ask.


    It was rare for Feng Chenlang to have such a serious expression on his face. Jun Qiyan looked at him in surprise, but she quickly shook her head. She calmed down and focused on the flying boat in front of her.


    "We are just some students. May I ask, what exactly do you want to do by intercepting us?" Beijing and Beijing, Ji Bai''s voice was loud and powerful.


    His voice had just fallen when the hole in the wall of the flying boat gave off a creaking sound. A sword flew out of the hole and flew straight in his direction.


    Ye Changsheng hurriedly controlled the flying boat. Only after ascending could he barely avoid this sword.


    So this was the hole to store the sword! Jun Qiyan gaped at the flying boat across from him. He couldn''t help but sigh inwardly, "Heavens! Isn''t this a fighter jet?!"


    Just as everyone was in a daze, a sword turned and flew straight towards Jun Qiyan!


    She knew she couldn''t avoid it, so she closed her eyes. But the sword did not come, and she fell into an embrace.


    Di Mo Jiu grabbed her collar and dragged her to the side.


    Jun Qiyan felt the other''s warm embrace, and her heart calmed down a little.


    "Be careful! He couldn''t be careless! The Sword Spirit Sect was most adept at using their Qi to control the sword. There was likely no one in the boat, and most likely, all of them were swords. "Also, if they really launch such an attack, I''m afraid we won''t be able to dodge them. We''ll have to jump off the boat."


    Ye Changsheng said with a serious face, but his gaze did not leave the flying boat in the slightest, afraid that they would not pay attention and release another sword.


    When Jun Qiyan heard these words, she hurriedly stood up and put on an especially serious attitude. However, just as she steadied herself, the flying boat in front of her shot over a hundred swords, flying towards her flying boat.


    This time, the flying boat couldn''t avoid it. Gu Yao quickly warned, "Jump!" Everyone jumped off the boat and circulated their lightness techniques before landing safely. When they looked back at the flying boat again, it had already been split into pieces by the sword.


    Seeing the miserable state of the boat, Jun Qiyan couldn''t help but shiver. He secretly controlled his Qi to ride his sword, and didn''t forget to curse in a low voice, "Come at me with what you have to say! Crow''s beak! "


    "If we can''t fight, we can''t run? Split into two, let''s escape! When the time comes, we will meet! " As he said this, Jun Qiyan''s sword sped up even more.


    At this time, a black-clothed man jumped off the boat, and struck out his palm towards the distracted Jun Qiyan.


    When this palm hit Jun Qianyan''s back, she felt a sweet and fishy taste in her mouth. Then, she sped up, and the black-clothed man flew back onto the flying boat.


    Although the flying boat was fast, it wasn''t nimble enough. Jun Qiyan quickly got rid of this troublesome group of people and rushed over to the school to meet up.


    After the handover had been completed, although Jun Qianyan looked as if she had only suffered light injuries on the surface, only she knew how heavy her internal injuries were.


    "How is it? Do you want me to help you? "


    Di Mo Jiu''s gaze shifted as he placed an unnatural hand on Jun Qianyan''s shoulder. He swept it with his divine vision, his brows slightly knitted as he asked worriedly.


    Jun Qiyan took a deep breath, her straight back bent down as she leaned against Di Mo Jiu, her face pale from the pain.


    Since Jun Qiyan was suffering from internal injuries, there weren''t many wounds on his body. Therefore, it was natural for her to trouble Di Mo Jiu since no one else but Di Mo Jiu had noticed that Jun Qiyan was injured.


    "It''s fine, no, it''s fine. Just let me rest for a few days and I''ll be completely recovered."


    He knew that she was just trying to be brave, but he didn''t refute her. He only used a slight force with his hand to carry her back to his room.


    Although he had internal injuries, Jun Qianyan was quite comfortable these days with Di Mo Jiu''s protection. He didn''t look like a person who was taking care of his wounds, training and going out.


    In the past, they weren''t exactly close, but because of Di Mo Jiu''s personality, their physical needs weren''t that great. But this time, because of Jun Qianyan''s matter, Di Mo Jiu had taken the initiative to support them.


    "You said they were together all day... I wonder how the relationship has progressed! "


    "It was me who threw away all the things that Little Miss Muddy and Little Muddy gave to Yin Muju!"


    "So Mo Jiu has short sleeves? I bet fifty cents that he''s the one below. "


    A few female disciples in disciple uniforms passed by the mission hall. It seemed as if they were going to take on a mission. When they saw the intimate posture of Jun Qianyan and Di Mo Jiu, they suddenly had an idea and started to discuss in low voices.


    Even though they were whispering to each other, the other party didn''t intentionally avoid them. He knew clearly that cultivators had sharp ears, but they still intentionally spoke of it to them.


    Thus, the words of those people were successfully passed into the ears of Jun Qiyan and Di Mo Jiu.


    Jun Qiyan tilted her head in a surprised manner, and those who were whispering to each other saw that Jun Qianyan had turned her head away. She subconsciously stopped speaking, and after smiling at them, the other female disciples obediently lowered their heads without another word and followed Di Mo Jiu into the sect''s mission hall.


    Because Jun Qiyan had suffered from internal injuries a few days ago, and because the academy was so large, Di Mo Jiu had accompanied Jun Qiyan and didn''t come over until ten days later when Jun Qianyan''s condition had somewhat abated.


    The academy''s mission reward would not be invalidated just because you didn''t claim it. Jun Qiyan wasn''t afraid that the reward would be taken away by others.


    "Yin Mu Jiu is here!" We''ve been waiting for you for a long time, and your mission reward hasn''t been received for the past ten days. If you still hadn''t come, we all wanted to send someone over to deliver it to you! "


    The outer sect disciples who were guarding the area saw Jun Qianyan from afar, and greeted her with a wide grin.


    "So it''s Senior Fu. I can come over myself. Why bother you seniors so much?"


    There were too many people who were familiar with each other. Jun Qianyan vaguely remembered this person''s name. She gave a faint smile, then followed Di Mo Jiu to the teacher who was guarding the door.


    "You''re finally here." The instructor put down the jade slip in his hand and looked towards Jun Feiyan, who was standing by the door.


    Jun Qiyan looked around. Jing and Ji Bai had already arrived, and were waiting for her alone.


    "Sorry for making you wait." Jun Qiyan clasped her hands in a bow, a trace of apology evident on her face.


    The sect was very busy, so the instructor didn''t talk to them too much. He just exchanged a few simple pleasantries and fished out several storage bags from his sleeves, giving each of them to the others.


    "Inside is the reward for completing the last mission. Please check if you missed anything."


    The few of them received it as Jun Qiyan probed a wisp of divine vision into it. The storage bag was the smallest low-grade storage bag in the cultivation world. It could only hold a few things, and the reward for the mission wasn''t much either. One could clearly see what was inside.


    "Oh right, Yin Muju was injured while on a mission last time, so other people might not know about it, but I can still see it. In order to compensate for it, I specifically allowed your team members to rest for a week, but the last time you didn''t come ten days ago.


    "Thank you, teacher!"


    The instructor slightly nodded his head and smilingly watched the two of them leave.


    After leaving the mission hall, Jun Qiyan breathed a sigh of relief. Her wounds had yet to fully heal. Now that her mentor had promised to take a week of vacation, it was no different from sending out charcoal during a snowstorm.


    Feng Chenlang, Ji Bai and the others still had matters to attend to, and Gu Yao and Ye Changsheng had lost too much spiritual power as well. They went back to meditate, and because of some official matters, Di Mo Jiu left first, leaving Jun Qiyan alone in his original spot.


    Jun Qiyan pursed her lips and returned to her room as well.


    After returning to her room and tidying up the items she had obtained, Jun Qianyan checked her personal storage. The snacks she had saved and the rewards she had received from this mission made her a rich woman.


    She hesitated for a moment, then remembered that she still lacked a few items, so she decided to make a trip to the local black market.

 C95

    The night gradually descended, and the black market was bustling with noise and excitement.


    As Jun Qiyan walked through the stalls, she suddenly felt a sharp pain at her waist, and a slight heat at her waist. She quickly stopped and took out all the items from her waist, looking for the source of the burning sensation.


    With this touch, he touched the burning jade pendant. Jun Qianyan looked at the jade pendant in her hand in confusion, momentarily forgetting where it came from.


    It was a while later that Jun Qianyan remembered that Jun Xuanfeng had given her this when she first arrived in the Profound East Continent.


    "So it was you who burned me!" Jun Qiyan wrapped her clothes around herself and held them in her hands as she prepared to leave. However, after just one step, the jade pendant suddenly became cold.


    How could the temperature drop so fast!? Jun Qiyan looked at the jade pendant in his hand, mimicking his movements from before. The jade pendant once again began to heat up.


    She burned her hand and almost dropped to the ground. Fortunately, she reacted fast enough, catching the jade pendant before it shattered.


    "Is it because of the location?" Jun Qiyan pondered for a moment, then squatted down and carefully observed the surroundings. There was nothing unusual about this environment, it was just some vendors selling things, pushing small carts to sell.


    It was the peddler! An idea came to Jun Qianyan''s mind. She turned the jade pendant in a circle and looked to the right. It was clearly hotter than the left side. She finally locked onto the right side of the shop and lifted her head.


    He saw a young man sitting on the ground, guarding the stall on the ground. The cloth underneath the stall was extremely tattered, as if it was found in a trash can. This stall was strange, not only because it was tattered cloth, but also because the things it sold were very strange, it was just a small piece of black stone. I want this little black stone. " Jun Qi said as she pointed to the stone that would cause a jade to burn.


    "Just this one?" the young man asked, looking at her.


    Jun Qiyan scratched her head. "Then I''ll buy some more of these." In this way, Jun Qiyan bought some other small blackstones as a supplement.


    "How much is this magic crystal?" At this moment, a man squatted down beside her and pointed at the empty space.


    Jun Qiyan curiously looked up and saw the youth raise three fingers. The man gave him money and took something from the ground. The yellow magic crystal was revealed the moment it left the ground.


    But there was clearly nothing there! Jun Qianyan''s eyes widened as she looked at the young man in disbelief. She saw that the young man had closed his eyes once again and was no longer speaking.


    I''m afraid it''s a problem with this cloth. Jun Qiyan leaned his chin on his hand, biting his lower lip as he pondered. Although this cloth was worn out, it should be able to hide things that the youth did not want others to see.


    Thinking up to this point, Jun Qiyan could not help but feel somewhat surprised. Could it be that he knew that I need this, so he wanted to show it to me?! This young man was truly not simple!


    Jun Qiyan cupped his fists towards the youth who had his eyes closed, clasped his hands, and expressed his gratitude. Although he had his eyes closed, he should be able to know.


    After Jun Qiyan finished this, she slowly stood up. Once again, the clamorous sounds of people hawking began to echo in her ears. As she looked on the ground, apart from blackstones, there were also a few magical crystal magic tools. It seemed like the items here were not only this piece of cloth, but also something that could isolate sound.


    After seeing all of this, Jun Qiyan''s suspicions were confirmed. She bowed once more, clasped her hands at the youth, and turned to leave.


    Just as she was about to leave, a pair of hands appeared in front of her, blocking her way.


    "Wait a moment."


    Jun Qiyan didn''t speak, but stared at his hands with hostility in his eyes.


    "Don''t worry, Fellow Daoist, I''m not hostile." Lifting his head, he saw a man wearing a blue robe. Behind him were a few attendants who were also wearing the same blue robe.


    Puzzled, Jun Qianyan slowly asked, "May I ask what is the matter that stopped me?"


    "I want to ask, where did you buy this stone?" The blue-robed man smiled as he asked her.


    From the looks of it, the young man did not reveal the stone to him.


    Jun Qiyan raised an eyebrow and looked at him, "Don''t tell me you''re here to check the account? Where did you buy this stone? Why should I tell you? "


    "Fellow cultivator, you told me, it''s just a convenience ¡­" The blue-robed man''s eyes never left his hand, filled with greed.


    He had directly stopped her, and Jun Qiyan was still feeling somewhat unhappy! Now he still dared to covet her stone, this made her even more unhappy!


    "What convenience? What do you have to say?!" "You might as well just say it!" Jun Qiyan put the stone back in her pocket, blocking the blue-clothed man''s greedy gaze as she spoke without the slightest trace of politeness.


    "To be honest, I also have my eyes on this stone. Please give it to me. I will give you the appropriate reward. I won''t let you suffer a loss, Fellow Daoist." The blue-robed man couldn''t see the stone, so he simply shifted his gaze to Jun Feiyan''s face and said politely.


    Even though his tone was polite, he still didn''t let go of his hand. He stood in front of Jun Qiyan, blocking her from leaving.


    The man was here for Shi Mu as well. His attitude was pretty good, but Jun Qiyan was very unhappy about it!


    Jun Qiyan pondered for a moment before recalling the miraculous scene that had just occurred. Although she did not know what use the stone had, there must be something special about it.


    She casted a sidelong glance at him and saw that he had an expression that said that he was determined to win. Even if he tried to rob her, Jun Qiyan would not waver in the slightest because she was firm in her conviction.


    Jun Qiyan raised her head, her eyes filled with determination. She spoke slowly with a strong tone, "I''m sorry, I can''t sell this stone to you."


    "As long as you can sell it to me, you can name a price!" The blue-robed man withdrew his hand, clasping his fist and bowing towards Jun Qiyan. His tone was equally firm ¡­


    Jun Qiyan sighed as she looked at him with her hands clasped around her waist. "This stone does indeed have a special use for me. I hope that young master can go to another house and take a look. Don''t pester this stone anymore." And stop pestering me!


    When the blue-robed man heard this, he no longer had a smile on his face. Instead, he frowned and turned around to look at the four blue-clothed men behind him. He gave them a meaningful glance.


    "Hey, what are you guys doing!" When Jun Qianyan saw his current appearance, she immediately felt that something was amiss.

 C96

    The blue-robed man turned around, his eyes filled with malice as he said, "Since fellow daoists refuse toasts and are punished, then we can only follow you to the end."


    He had thought that since he had already said so, the meaning was already so clear. The blue-robed man would definitely back off now that he knew the difficulties he faced and would no longer ask for the stone from Jun Qianyan.


    At this time, the four people behind him began to move their joints as a "creak" sound rang out. It was extremely terrifying. As they moved, they began to slowly move towards Jun Yunyan''s direction, step by step.


    When Jun Qiyan saw so many people, she couldn''t help but feel anxious. If this battle really started, she would definitely end up empty-handed.


    "Wait!" Do you know who my backer is?! " Jun Qiyan swallowed his saliva, straightened his back, and said with a bluff.


    When the blue-robed man and the others heard this, they immediately stopped. They exchanged looks and looked at her warily. The leading man in blue asked, "Who is it?"


    It worked! Seeing their fearful expressions, Jun Qianyan could not help but let out a sigh of relief in her heart as she continued to bluff.


    "You don''t need to know who it is! All you need to know is that if anything happens to me, you will not be able to bear the consequences! "


    How can I have a backer! After saying these words, Jun Qiyan couldn''t help but wail in her heart.


    Although Jun Qiyan was showing off his power and might, he couldn''t help but beat his drum inside ¡­


    "You don''t need to know? I''m afraid you''re not putting on an act! Since we have a backer, why don''t you tell us his name and let us depend on him? " A blue-clothed man said.


    When Jun Qiyan heard this, he immediately panicked. He was indeed putting on an act. Now that he had been exposed, he could only brace himself.


    "Let''s go." The blue-robed man also saw her guilt. He gestured to the four of them, and they formed a circle, surrounding Jun Qiyan.


    Jun Qiyan hurriedly took up a fighting stance. Flames shot out from his palms, as if he wanted to start a fight.


    The person who had exposed Jun Qiyan just now rushed up, brandishing her fist. Just as she was about to hit Jun Qianyan''s face, she tilted her head and dodged his attack. Instead, she grabbed his arm and threw him heavily onto the ground.


    "Hiss ¡­" He lay on the ground, moaning. He had already lost his ability to fight, so no matter what, he couldn''t get up.


    The remaining three people looked at each other and said firmly, "Let''s go!"


    However, just as they were about to rush up, they were caught by Jun Qiyan''s movements. He dodged them, grabbed them, and threw them over his shoulder. He agilely managed to knock them down.


    "I thought you guys were so powerful." Jun Qiyan patted the dust off of his hands, curled his lips, and did not forget to mock the blue-robed man. "Little brother, you''re not good enough as a lackey either!"


    When the blue-robed man saw that his subordinate had been beaten to such a state, and that he had been ridiculed in such a manner, he lost all face and rushed in Jun Qiyan''s direction.


    Jun Qiyan dodged once again. He grabbed his wrist, and a few vines suddenly shot out from his hand, and struck toward Jun Qiyan''s body.


    Jun Qiyan barely managed to dodge the attack. "I didn''t expect you to be so capable, but fire countered wood, you''re not good either, little brother!"


    The angered blue-robed man no longer cared about these things. He continued to whip the vines in his hands towards Jun Qiyan.


    However, when he stretched out his hand and Jun Qiyan burned it for a while, he gave birth to more of it.


    Jun Qiyan yawned shamelessly as he faced the blue robed man''s vines, "I''ll say this. If you''re not tired, then I''m already tired. Let''s end this quickly!"


    Suddenly, Jun Qianyan grabbed onto the vine that he was extending his arm towards her. With a slight push of her toes, she flew behind the blue-robed man. In a flash, the blue-robed man had been tightly bound by his own vines and was unable to move.


    Jun Qiyan kicked him to the ground and then sat on his body. She then took out a stone from her hand as if showing off and waved it in front of him.


    "Tsk tsk, you want this, right? Sigh, what a pity that I was the one to rebel. " Jun Qiyan pursed her lips, revealing a regretful expression.


    "Let me go!" The blue-robed man kept hooting under her butt, "If you have the ability, then let me go!"


    "Let go of you, you are also my defeated opponent!"


    "You stole something again!" As soon as Jun Qianyan finished speaking, someone immediately followed with her voice.


    "Master ¡­" Jun Qiyan felt wronged as he cried out. He was stunned for a moment before he jumped down from the blue robed man''s body. Then, he looked in the direction of the voice.


    That man stood firmly in front of Jun Qiyan and gave a slight bow. "I am truly sorry. Hurry up and apologize to the young lady. "


    The man picked up the blue-robed man, and after he regained his balance, he bowed to Jun Qiyan. He was no longer as arrogant as he was earlier.


    "Miss, I''m sorry."


    "So you''re a subordinate ¡­" Jun Qiyan curled her lips. A man''s attitude was good, and she couldn''t help but have a favorable impression of him. However, he didn''t intend to accept any kind of master, let alone forgive them.


    She turned her head away, ignoring the man with the good attitude, "I beat up your subordinates, so we are considered even.


    After she finished speaking, Jun Qiyan left without looking back, leaving behind only the man, the battered blue-robed man, and a floor full of blue-clothed people.


    When the blue-robed man saw that Jun Qiyan had left in such a good condition, and that the vines on his body had not yet been untied, he was instantly infuriated. He asked the man tentatively, "Master, are you going to let her go just like that?"


    His tone was cautious and unwilling.


    The man didn''t say anything. He just glanced at him with a cold gaze. The blue-robed man immediately shut his mouth and lowered his head. He didn''t dare to say another word.


    When the man saw that Jun Feiyan had behaved himself, he withdrew his gaze and looked in the direction that Jun Feiyan had left in, narrowing his eyes as if he was deep in thought.

 C97

    When Jun Qiyan returned to the inn, he took out the little black stone that he had just obtained.


    The high quality jade pendant and the rough stone form a huge visual impact sound.


    Jun Qiyan carefully examined the two stones. Even after a long time, he still couldn''t find anything wrong with them.


    Jun Qiyan rubbed the boiling hot jade pendant as he muttered to himself. If he wanted to know the secret behind the pendant, he would have to ask his grandfather.


    After making up his mind, Jun Qiyan decided to return to the Jun residence.


    The next morning, Jun Qiyan and Di Mo Jiu went back to the Jun residence together.


    Since Jun Qianyan didn''t intend to let too many people know that she had returned, she specially disguised herself and snuck into Jun Xuanfeng''s room.


    Jun Xuanfeng was originally practicing his calligraphy in his study room when he saw an uninvited guest suddenly barge in.


    "Is it against the rules for you to barge into another''s residence?"


    Jun Xuanfeng gloomily looked at the two people in front of him.


    Jun Qiyan didn''t know whether to laugh or cry as she looked at her grandfather''s vigilant expression.


    "Grandfather, it''s me."


    Jun Qiyan smiled as she spoke in a coquettish tone.


    Jun Xuanfeng was startled for a moment, then looked at the two people in front of him with some suspicion. After a while, he came to a sudden realization: "Dye?!"


    Jun Xuanyin was so excited that her body started to tremble. She nodded.


    She felt her nose sour and her eyes grow hot. A single sparkling teardrop quietly fell to the ground.


    "Dye, aren''t you at Tynes Academy?" Why are you back? "


    Jun Xuanfeng stuttered incoherently as he looked at his granddaughter.


    "Grandfather, it''s a long story, I''ll explain it to you later."


    Jun Qiyan pulled her grandfather to the side of the bed, ready to talk at any time.


    A certain someone, who had been completely ignored, coughed in displeasure. Only then did the grandfather and grandson realize that there was someone else present.


    "This is?"


    "You''ve met him before, he''s that Di Mo Jiu from before." Jun Qiyan calmly explained.


    When Jun Xuanfeng heard this, his eyes immediately lit up, and he hurriedly beckoned for Di Mo and Jiu Xiao to come over.


    "After so long, this girl must have troubled you quite a bit, right?" Jun Xuanfeng asked with a smile as he stroked his white beard.


    "Your daughter is outstanding, there is nothing that a junior can help her with."


    Di Mo and Di Jiubai''s humble appearance instantly caused Jun Xuanfeng''s good impression of them to soar.


    "Grandfather!" I have a serious matter to discuss with you this time! " Jun Qianyan hurriedly pulled Jun Xuanfeng''s attention back.


    When Jun Xuanfeng heard the two words "proper business", his expression turned serious.


    Jun Qiyan recounted everything that had happened before in a simple manner, and only took out the small black stone from the space in the end.


    "Grandfather, are there any connections between these two?"


    Jun Xuanfeng looked at the small black stone in Jun Qianyan''s hand, and then at the jade pendant that he had previously given to the other party.


    "You, how did you get it?" Jun Xuanfeng held the stone in his hand in astonishment.


    "Grandpa knows this rock?" Jun Qianyan looked straight at Jun Xuanfeng, within his eyes, and observed all the traces of emotion that could be seen on his face.


    "No, I don''t know him!" Jun Xuanfeng rejected his directly without even thinking about it.


    "You''re lying!" The girl really wanted to say it out loud.


    Jun Xuanfeng looked at the other party''s clear eyes, let out a long sigh. He knew that he couldn''t continue hiding it, and then explained: "This stone and this jade pendant, in combination, is actually a key ¡­"


    Jun Qiyan blanked for a moment; she hadn''t expected such a result.


    "Then where does this thing belong to?" Jun Qiyan couldn''t help but ask.


    Jun Xuanfeng silently sighed. After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "This is the key to the God Graveyard''s cave."


    "God''s Tomb?!"


    Jun Qiyan froze, waiting for the other party''s next words.


    "That''s right. Legend has it that inside the Divine Graveyard of Gods, there are countless treasures and inheritances of ancient fortune. However, the Divine Graveyard of Gods is also extremely dangerous. Everyone who goes there will never be able to return."


    "Of course, these are only legends. No one can truly prove the existence of the tomb''s cave."


    After Jun Xuanfeng finished speaking, he seemed to have sunk into a deep reminiscence, and didn''t speak for a long time.


    Jun Qianyan couldn''t digest the information within at the moment. A legend?


    Jun Qiyan narrowed her eyes. She didn''t know why, but she felt that this cave really existed.


    Di Mo and Di Jiu, who were standing to the side, had a profound look in their eyes. They couldn''t figure out what he was trying to do.


    Jun Qiyan and Di Mo Jiu didn''t take too long to leave the Jun residence because of the passage of time.


    In the dead of night, Jun Xuanfeng stood alone at the window, the crafty moonlight shining on her body made his look exceptionally desolate, and those deep eyes made it hard for anyone to guess what she was thinking about.


    Seven days of vacation passed in a flash. When Jun Qianyan and Di Mo Jiu returned to the academy, they received shocking news.


    "The two of you are finally back."


    In the dorm, Feng Chenlang was looking at Di Mo Jiu and Jun Qianyan with a face full of excitement, but he only got two whites of his eyes.


    "Mo Jiu, I have an earth-shattering secret here. Do you want to listen to it?"


    Feng Chenlang looked at Jun Qianyan mysteriously. Jun Qianyan glanced at him indifferently; her expression obviously showed that she was not interested.


    "Mm, go ahead." Jun Qianyan indifferently said as he flipped through the books in his hand.


    Seeing that, Feng Chenlang chuckled, and shamelessly stuck his face out: "You want to know? Begging me! "


    The corner of Jun Qiyan''s mouth twitched as he treated the other as air.


    "Ai ai, how can you be like this? I have an earth-shattering secret! "Mo Jiu, don''t you want to know as well?!"


    Feng Chen Lang looked towards Di Mo Jiu in dissatisfaction, but the latter didn''t even give him a single glance.


    "Alright, alright. I''ll say it. I''ll say it, alright?"


    When Feng Chenlang saw that the two of them did not even buy it, he said somewhat helplessly, "Do you two still remember that Liu Xiaoxiao from before!?"


    As he spoke of Liu Xiaoxiao, Jun Qianyan suddenly stopped reading. Even Di Mo Jiu, who had always viewed Feng Chen Lang as nothing, raised his eyes to look in the direction of Feng Chen Lang.


    "What''s wrong with Liu Xiaoxiao?" When Jun Qiyan saw that the other party was silent, he immediately frowned in displeasure.


    Feng Chen Lang coughed lightly. He first observed his surroundings, and after confirming that there was no one around, he lowered his voice and said to Jun Qiyan and Di Mo Jiu, "That little lunatic died three days ago!"


    "Dead?!" Jun Qianyan cried out in alarm, her eyebrows knitted together, "What''s going on? Weren''t you fine earlier on?!"


    Feng Chenlang took a step forward and firmly covered Jun Qiyan''s mouth. He seemed to be afraid of something as he said, "Lower your voice! Don''t let anyone hear you! "


    "What''s going on? Is your information accurate?! " Jun Qiyan asked as he shook off the hand in front of him.


    When Feng Chenlang heard this, he was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. "Young Master, I am Tanas Academy''s unique trumpet, alright!? There''s something I don''t know about! "


    Seeing the distrustful look on Jun Qiyan''s face, Feng Chen Lang finally raised his hand and made a gesture of surrender.


    "Alright alright, I''ll say it, is that not enough!"


    "That day, I was called to the office by Master. I overheard Teacher Hydt talking to an old man."


    Feng Chenlang said honestly.


    Jun Qiyan fell into deep thought as he listened to Feng Chenlang''s words.


    "Then did you hear how Liu Xiaoxiao died?" That child, Liu Xiaoxiao, always gave him a very subtle feeling. It was something he had never felt before from anyone else.


    "He said he twisted his head off after going crazy."


    "But someone like her, even if she were to die, it would still be difficult for her to wash away the sins she committed while she was still alive!"


    Feng Chen Lang looked extremely disgusted as he held his arm.


    For some unknown reason, ever since she learned that Liu Xiaoxiao had committed suicide, she felt muddleheaded. Even though Feng Chen Lang said something behind the scenes, she didn''t take it to heart.


    Ever since she had learned that Liu Xiaoxiao had committed suicide, Jun Qianyan had been in a muddled state the entire day.


    Even the pill concocting method that he was most proficient in frequently went wrong.


    "Yin Mo Jiu? Yin Muji? "


    The teacher on the podium stared at his student, who was usually the most pleased with himself, with his veins popping out.


    When the surrounding people saw that the coaches were all trembling with fear at the edge of their fury, they secretly gave Jun Qi a stick of incense in their hearts.


    "Get out!"


    The instructor was finally unable to endure any longer, pointing at Jun Qiyan''s nose and swearing loudly.


    It was only after knowing that her master had thrown her out of the classroom that she regained her senses.

 C98

    Jun Qiyan was also a well-known figure in Tanas Academy. For a moment, he was thrown out by his teacher to be punished, and his surroundings were immediately filled with students.


    To be viewed as a monkey, this taste was truly ¡­


    When the Cyan Edge Grandmaster saw the spectating students and the people around them, his sword-like eyebrows immediately creased into the word "Chuan".


    What kind of trouble did this brat cause this time?


    "What are you all doing here? Don''t any of you need to go to class?! " Bluesea let out a furious roar.


    Only then did the crowd leave unwillingly.


    "Instructor ¡­" Jun Qiyan chuckled as an awkward expression appeared on his face.


    "What happened to you today? I heard everything from your instructor. " The disciple in front of him.


    Jun Qiyan rubbed his fingers together as he lowered his head without saying anything. Greencloud let out a sigh, no longer trying to force the other party''s hand.


    "Since you don''t have the mood to attend class, then go out and do something for me in the next few days."


    Greenedge sighed, then he took out a scroll from his large sleeves and handed it over.


    "Hand this over to the Saint Silkworm Origin Swordmaster on top of Qi Qingshan." After the Green Edge Grandmaster said this, he gritted his teeth and said: "You can stay at Qi Qingshan''s place for a few more days. You just need to return within three months. That old, immortal Saint Silkworm Yuan Zun still has some attainments in cultivation."


    Jun Qiyan nodded as she received the scroll. However, her heart couldn''t help but feel touched. To be able to be called a person with such a certain level of attainment by Grandmaster Qingfeng, he must not be a simple person.


    After returning to his dorm, Jun Qiyan packed her things and prepared to leave.


    Di Mo Jiu looked at the man in front of him, pointed at his chin and said, "Where are you going?"


    Jun Qiyan looked up at a certain grandpa and immediately said, "Teacher asked me to go to Qi Qingshan."


    Di Mo Jiu was startled, but soon after, he couldn''t help but repeat the words that Jun Qianyan had said to him: "Qi Qingshan?" His voice paused, "You are looking for Saint Silkworm origin realm cultivator?"


    She pursed her lips, but did not voice the doubts in her heart.


    The air was silent for a moment. Di Mo Jiu was the first to say, "I will go with you."


    "No." Jun Qianyan refused without a second thought. What a joke! If Di Mo Jiu left with him, who would be the ''Mo Jiu''?


    Faced with Jun Qiyan''s rejection, Di Mo Jiu''s pupils darkened and his voice turned colder.


    "It''s not up to you."


    As his voice fell, everyone fell silent.


    Finally, Di Mo Jiu sighed and took the initiative to break the silence.


    "Look."


    Jun Qiyan raised his head to look towards the source of the voice. A man who looked exactly like Di Mo Jiu appeared in the room.


    Jun Qiyan covered his mouth as he pointed at the ''Di Mo Jiu'' in front of him in shock.


    "This is ¡­"


    Di Mo Jiu was in a good mood as he faced Jun Qianyan''s surprise. He raised an eyebrow and said, "From today onwards, you will be Mo Jiu."


    "Yes."


    Mo Jiu''s mechanical voice came from Di Mo Jiu''s side, after which, Mo Jiu''s originally empty eyes started to show some color.


    "How is it? There shouldn''t be any problems this time right?"


    Jun Qiyan was speechless.


    The two of them packed up their things and quickly set off on their way.


    Jun Qianyan and Di Mo Jiu could be considered to have made their way without any obstructions until they arrived at the foot of the mountain.


    "Stop right there!"


    The corners of Jun Qiyan''s mouth twitched slightly as she looked at the dozen or so people wrapped in black cloth.


    Had they encountered a robber?


    The leader of the group looked to be a teenager. He held a dagger in his hand and pointed it at Jun Qiyan and Di Mo Jiu.


    "This mountain is mine to open!" This tree is mine! "To think through this path ¡­"


    Jun Qiyan raised his eyebrows as he waited for the next part of the sentence, but the person in front of him seemed to have forgotten his next words, and was at a loss for words for a long time.


    "Leave behind to buy money...?"


    Jun Qiyan asked tentatively.


    "Yes!" "That''s it!" The youth excitedly raised his head to look at Jun Qianyan, and the corner of Jun Qianyan''s mouth couldn''t help but twitch.


    Was this young man sent by Monkey to help him?!


    "How do you know what I''m going to say!"


    The youth suddenly realized that something wasn''t right and looked at Jun Feiyan vigilantly.


    "Puff ¡­" Jun Qiyan couldn''t help but laugh out loud. In terms of looting, she was the first in the world!


    Jun Qiyan suppressed the laughter in her heart as she raised her head to look at the group of people behind the youth.


    Rather than calling those robbers robbers bandits, it would be more accurate to call them peasants. After all, which robber''s weapon was a hoe or shovel ¡­


    "Are you villagers from the nearby village?" Jun Qiyan ignored the youth''s question and asked a question in return.


    "Right... "Eh, that''s not right, how did you know!" The youth first subconsciously agreed, then he curiously asked.


    Jun Qiyan chuckled. She blinked her sparkling eyes and said, "Because I''m an immortal!"


    "A deity?"


    The youth looked at Jun Qiyan with admiration, and then threw away the dagger in his hand, as if he was about to kneel down.


    Jun Qianyan didn''t expect her reaction to be so intense. Without much time to think, she pulled him up with a stride.


    "What are you doing, don''t you know that men have gold under their knees?!" Jun Qiyan frowned as he berated.


    When he raised his eyes to look at the youth in front of him, the latter was already in tears.


    "Lord deity, I beg you to pity us!"


    Jun Qiyan was stunned.


    "It doesn''t rain here all year round. It''s been a year since we''ve harvested any grains."


    The young man said with tears and snot all over his face.


    As she listened to the youth''s words, Jun Qianyan slightly furrowed her brows. It was only then that she noticed that the entire mountain was filled with a desolate atmosphere.


    Jun Qiyan pursed her lips. She wasn''t a true immortal and simply didn''t have the ability to summon the wind and summon the rain.


    "How about this, you guys go to the mountain and find me a type of stone called Multicolored Stone. This is your reward!"


    Jun Qiyan passed all the gold coins in his storage ring to the villagers in front of him.


    The young man held the heavy bag of money in his hand, at a loss of what to do.


    "No, Lord Daoist Immortal, I can''t take this money."


    The youth hurriedly returned the money pouch in his hands to Jun Qiyan.


    "This is the reward you deserve! The stones are of great use to me. " Jun Qiyan said in all seriousness.


    The youngster nervously held the money pouch in his hand.


    It was only after Jun Qianyan had compromised with him that she finally let out a sigh of relief. She hurriedly pushed and shoved the youngster in front of her, as if she was afraid that he would go back on his word.


    "Why aren''t you rushing over?"


    When the youth heard this, he reacted and quickly brought everyone back to the top of the mountain.


    "Wait!" As if she had thought of something, Jun Qianyan called out to the youth once again.


    "Sir deity, is there anything else?" The youth turned around and asked curiously.


    "You''re not allowed to rob in the future!" Jun Qiyan warned him with a worried tone.


    One could tell that these people were robbing for the first time. At that time, they were lucky enough to run into themselves.


    These people would probably have a difficult time keeping their names under wraps ¡­


    The youth firmly nodded.

 C99

    After everyone had left, Jun Qianyan and Di Mo Jiu continued their way up the mountain.


    Jun Qiyan had been paying special attention to the surroundings when she heard the words of the young man earlier.


    Originally, there were many forests on top of Qi Qingshan''s mountain. However, due to the rain these past few years, the trees on the mountain had all withered, making it look desolate.


    Jun Qiyan''s mood also unconsciously turned heavy.


    Di Mo Jiu saw all of Jun Qianyan''s expression. After a moment of silence, he said, "These are not natural phenomena."


    The petite youth''s hands paused for a moment. Wasn''t this a natural phenomenon?!


    Jun Qiyan turned around in excitement. "Are these all man-made?"


    Di Mo Jiu glanced at him, then shook his head and said, "I don''t know if it''s man-made, but there''s something weird going on on on this mountain."


    Upon hearing this, Jun Qiyan lowered her head and fell into deep thought.


    "Alright, don''t think too much into it. Our most important goal right now is to find Saint Silkworm." Di Mo Jiu stretched out his hand and rubbed Jun Qiyan''s head as if he was comforting her.


    The teenager bit his lips and nodded.


    On the vast and desolate mountain, Jun Qiyan and Di Mo Jiu walked for a long time, yet they could not find even a single person.


    Just as the sun was about to set, Jun Qiyan sat on the ground with a slight headache.


    "If I had known earlier, I would have asked them about the whereabouts of those little brats, Empyrean Holy Silkworm." Jun Qianyan said with a bit of vexation. He felt an incomparable amount of regret ¡­


    Di Mo Jiu narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance, "We''re up, there''s a family ahead. Let''s go take a look first."


    When Jun Qiyan heard this, she hurriedly got up and looked into the distance. Sure enough, there was a lamp a hundred meters away that was especially dazzling in the dark night.


    Jun Qiyan''s eyes lit up. She quickly got up and walked towards the light.


    It was a small hut, not very big, but it looked especially warm in the dark night.


    Jun Qiyan knocked on the door and tentatively asked, "Is there anyone here?"


    Following the sound of footsteps, the old and broken door was opened by an old man in his sixties.


    Jun Qiyan said with a polite smile, "Old man, may I ask if we can spend the night here? We''re students from Tanas Academy. We''ve been through some things here. "


    The old man looked at the two in front of him and narrowed his chaotic eyes. He then said benevolently, "Oh, students of Tanas Academy. If you don''t mind how small this place is, come in!"


    The old man''s voice was incomparably hoarse, but his smile was very friendly.


    Jun Qiyan didn''t expect that the other party would agree so readily. He thanked her with a smile, "Thank you!"


    The room was simple, with only a stool, a table, and a small wooden bed.


    "If you don''t mind, then sleep here tonight. We''ll be going to the storage room for the entire night."


    The old man scratched his head and said in embarrassment.


    Jun Qiyan hurriedly said, "It''s already our fault that we''re disturbing you here. Wouldn''t it be our fault if we let you go to the storage room?"


    The old man laughed heartily as he heard this. There was a trace of admiration in the depths of his eyes.


    "Oh right, I have something I want to ask you." Jun Qiyan folded her hands together and looked like a well-behaved child.


    Hearing that, the old man paused for a moment, but quickly regained his composure: "Oh? You might as well tell me. "


    "Do you know about Saint Silkworm Yuan Zun?" Jun Qiyan asked, pretending to be innocent.


    "Saint Silkworm?" He knew that Sky Sovereign Holy Silkworm''s reputation back then was truly resounding! Very few people in our generation do not know his name. "


    The old man stroked his beard and said with a smile.


    When Jun Qianyan heard this, she pretended to be curious and asked, "Then do you know of the other stories about Saint Silkworm? I''ve heard my teacher mention him in the academy, and I''ve always admired him! "


    Jun Qiyan calmly replied.


    The Green Edge Grandmaster and the Saint Silkworm Master would be companions at such a young age. The two of them could be said to be well-known figures on the Eastern Xuan Continent.


    Of the two, one was an alchemist while the other was a cultivator.


    According to legend, a hundred years ago, both of them had received an invitation from the Tynes Academy.


    This was also why one was still extremely famous in the Eastern Xuan Continent, while the other was forgotten.


    "Oh? I heard the coaches mention it? " The old man replied with interest, "It''s really not easy for people to remember Sky Sovereign Holy Silkworm."


    Jun Qiyan smiled without saying a word.


    "Is there something you need from him?" The old man made a pot of tea for himself and Jun Qiyan, and then took a sip.


    Jun Qiyan took the cup of tea. After a moment of silence, she chose to pour out the entire plate.


    "I am the descendant of the master. It was the master who asked me to find Empyrean Skysilk."


    Upon hearing this, the old man laughed heartily and then said, "That old geezer Qing You still remembers me, an old geezer."


    The old man''s sudden words caused Jun Qiyan to gape in surprise.


    "You are... Empyrean Holy Silkworm? " Jun Qiyan asked with uncertainty.


    The old man in front of him was dressed in coarse clothes and sackcloth. He didn''t have the extraordinary and refined temperament that he had imagined.


    "Mm. Why did that old fellow Blueblood ask you to come here?" Hierarch Holy Silkworm said with a smile.


    Perhaps it was because Jun Qiyan was a disciple of Qing Yun, but Empyrean Holy Silkworm treated him extremely kindly.


    Jun Qiyan hurriedly handed over the scroll within his storage ring.


    "Master only asked me to give you this."


    Empyrean Holy Silkworm took the scroll and glanced through it. Then, his eyes lit up as he looked at Jun Qiyan in surprise.


    "You have purple spiritual roots?"


    Jun Qiyan could not help but nod his head.


    The Holy Silkworm Sky Sovereign''s eyes lit up. He grabbed onto Jun Qiyan''s hand as if he had found some treasure, and said excitedly, "The heavens have truly not wasted my life!" "I never thought that I would be able to encounter a Purple Spirit Root in my lifetime!"


    "Kid, stay with me for a few more days. I will hand over everything I learned in my lifetime to you!"


    Facing the Holy Silkworm Empyrean''s agitation, Jun Qiyan appeared much calmer.


    Di Mo Jiu could see the awkwardness on Jun Qianyan''s face, so he pulled him away from the Saint Silkworm and politely said, "Senior, it''s getting late, why don''t we talk tomorrow? She and I will rest first."


    Since Di Mo Jiu had already said this much, the Holy Silkworm Sky Sovereign could only let go of his hand and said with a smile, "It seems that you''ve thought it through. Since it''s like this, I won''t disturb you anymore."


    Jun Qiyan nodded and went to the storage room next door with Di Mo Jiu.


    In the chore room, Jun Qiyan looked at the small bed that could barely contain three black lines rising from the top of it. How could she sleep like this?!


    "You sleep on the floor while I sleep on the bed!" Jun Qiyan rushed to the side of the bed, looking as if he would rather die than submit.


    Di Mo Jiu looked at Jun Qiyan with a smile that was not really a smile. His face was almost covered with the words "You can snatch me away".

 C100

    Jun Qiyan looked at the person in front of him warily; his eyes were like those of a wolf guarding against its prey.


    Di Mo Jiu raised his eyebrows, took a step forward and said in a teasing tone, "You want me to sleep underground?" Di Mo Jiu glanced at it. The floor that did not even fit half of his body turned to look at Jun Qiyan who was lying on the bed.


    Jun Qiyan couldn''t bear to see this. She pursed her lips and looked first at the narrow ground, then at the simple and crude bed.


    After a moment of hesitation, he said, "Why don''t I sleep underground ¡­"


    Before his voice had even faded, Jun Qiyan felt the world spinning around her. When she came back to her senses, both she and Di Mo Jiu were already lying on the bed.


    "You!" Jun Qiyan''s face was flushed red. He wanted to get up, but apparently, someone did not want to give him the chance to do so.


    "Lie still." Di Mo Jiu raised his eyes and looked at the person in his arms, "Can''t you sleep well ¡­"


    Jun Qiyan was speechless.


    Was this a question of whether he could sleep well?


    Because the bed was too narrow, Jun Qiyan didn''t dare to roll over. She could only lie down in someone''s arms. The night was dark, and Jun Qiyan, who had been tired all day, soon fell asleep.


    She was sleeping soundly, but it was obvious that some old man had suffered a lot.


    The moonlight shone through the window onto the two of them. Di Mo Jiu could clearly feel that Jun Qiyan was like an octopus, tightly wrapping around his body.


    He really dug a hole for himself. Even if he were to kneel, he would have to finish filling it up ¡­


    He was tormented to the point where he couldn''t fall asleep, so he got up and went outside.


    "My lord." All of a sudden, a black silhouette flashed past and knelt down beside Di Mo Jiu, a low, hoarse voice sounded in Di Mo Jiu''s ears.


    Di Mo Jiu narrowed his eyes and said in a cold voice, "Who allowed you to come here?"


    As the sound of his voice faded, a powerful aura surged towards the man in black.


    That black-clothed man''s body clearly started to tremble slightly, and even his voice started to tremble, "Master, there''s a problem over there ¡­" This subordinate was forced to come! "


    Faced with the black-robed man''s explanation, Di Mo Jiu''s pressure slightly weakened. His countenance was still terrifyingly cold.


    "What happened?"


    "Those old things in the Elder''s Hall have been very restless all this time. There are even rumors that you are already dead ¡­ and to elect a new lord. " The black clothed man said as he held onto Di Mo Jiu''s aura.


    "Oh?" Di Mo Jiu raised his voice slightly, narrowed his long and narrow phoenix eyes and gave his whole person a sense of charm.


    "The time has come, I will naturally return. If you dare appear here again in the future ¡­" Di Mo Jiu''s voice suddenly stopped, the meaning behind his words was very obvious.


    The black-robed man quickly responded, "This subordinate understands!"


    Only then did Di Mo Jiu retract his aura. "Then why aren''t you getting out of here?"


    In just a blink of an eye, the man in black who was standing beside Di Mo Jiu had disappeared without a trace.


    "Does Saint Silkworm Yuan Zun like to watch the show?" Di Mo Jiu was still maintaining the same posture as before. As he said this, a burst of clear applause came from behind the stone.


    "The pavilion master of the Divine Arts Pavilion has personally come to visit. This has really brought light to my humble dwelling."


    Saint Silkworm still maintained his amiable appearance. However, the nervousness in his eyes betrayed what he was feeling at that very moment.


    The Divine Arts Pavilion was a mysterious organization that appeared ten thousand years ago after the Great War of Gods and Demons. Its power was incomparably strong and it was rumored that the Divine Arts Pavilion was where the top forces of the East Xuan Continent gathered.


    Furthermore, the newly appointed Pavilion Master of the Divine Arts Pavilion once had some interaction with Saint Silkworm Yuan Zun when he was young.


    When Di Mo Jiu had just arrived here, he had already felt the difference in their auras. However, he did not say anything because of Jun Qianyan.


    Di Mo Jiu''s lips curved up in a profound smile.


    "Saint Silkworm Yuan Zun is too polite. He''s just a student."


    When Saint Silkworm heard someone''s shameless words, the corner of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.


    Junior? A person who had grown up to the point where he didn''t know his own age actually called himself a junior? Was he that young?!


    "Ke ke, Pavilion Master, this is really me, the silkworm." Although Saint Silkworm was smiling as he spoke, his heart was pounding uncontrollably.


    Di Mo Jiu''s lips still had a faint smile on them, "I hope Saint Silkworm Yuan Zun can forget about what happened tonight, I don''t want him to know yet."


    The Saint Silkworm elder''s hands paused for a moment before reacting. Who was the "he" that the other party was referring to?


    Saint Silkworm did not directly agree to Di Mo Jiu''s request. First, he gave him a deep look before opening his mouth. Before he could say anything, Di Mo Jiu seemed to have understood what he was trying to say.


    "Don''t worry, I won''t hurt her." Di Mo Jiu looked into the distance and said softly.


    When Saint Silkworm heard this, he was finally able to relax. It wasn''t that he believed in Di Mo Jiu, but that he believed in Di Mo Jiu.


    It was that he knew the man disdained panic.


    "Since Pavilion Master has said so, then I can''t refuse to give you face, can I?"


    Saint Silkworm immediately expressed that he would definitely not reveal what happened today.


    After getting his guarantee, Di Mo Jiu calmed down.


    "Since that is the case, I will not disturb your rest any longer." Di Mo Jiu cupped his hands, trod on the night wind and left.


    In the room, the person on the bed did not notice what was happening outside.


    Di Mo Jiu looked at the gentle expression on the bed.


    The next morning, Jun Qiyan woke up with a long yawn. She narrowed her eyes as she suddenly appeared in front of Jun Qiyan, her handsome face magnified against the light.


    Jun Qiyan blinked, not knowing what year it was.


    It took a full three seconds for Jun Qiyan to react to the current situation. She first cried out in shock before asking nervously, "You, why are you here?"


    Faced with Jun Qiyan''s doubts, Di Mo Jiu playfully raised his eyebrows and slightly tilted his body so that Jun Qiyan wouldn''t be able to avoid him.


    "Why am I here?" Di Mo Jiu frivolously repeated the words that Jun Qianyan had just said, and then the corner of his mouth curled up into a faint smile.


    The expression on Jun Qianyan''s face froze for a moment. It was only a moment later that she recalled the events of the previous night.

 C101

    Di Mo Jiu did not answer as he smiled and ruffled Jun Qiyan''s hair. "


    After the two of them had washed up, they went to where Saint Silkworm''s Origin Subordinate was ¡­


    The Saint Silkworm Master first glanced at Di Mo Jiu, who was standing behind Jun Qianyan. Their gazes clashed, seemingly wanting to create a peculiar spark.


    Di Mo Jiu smiled, he acted as if nothing had happened and said, "I''m sorry we are late, please don''t blame us for forgetting our seniors."


    Blaming the Pavilion Master of the Divine Arts Pavilion wasn''t because he had lived for too long.


    "It''s okay, it''s okay. As a young man, it''s good to get more sleep." Saint Silkworm said with a smile.


    "Eh, by the way, I haven''t asked you for your name in a long time."


    Saint Silkworm was originally planning on giving Jun Qiyan a mission, but just as he was about to address her, he realized that he didn''t even know her name.


    "Yin Muji." Jun Qiyan said.


    "Muji, recently, have you been training and leveling up very quickly?" Saint Silkworm practically saw through Jun Qiyan''s flaw with a single glance.


    Jun Qiyan nodded.


    "Your mission today is to go to the back of the mountain and kill three Class 4 Magical Beasts. You are not allowed to borrow any external forces, such as contract beasts, fire, or spirit plants."


    Saint Silkworm slightly glanced at Jun Qiyan and analyzed him, "A short period of rapid improvement will cause you to lack actual combat experience, and the purity of your spiritual energy will also be much worse than people of the same level."


    When Jun Qiyan heard this, his brows immediately tightened.


    It was just as the Saint Silkworm, the Great Snake, and the others had said. It was usually the Great Snake and the others who helped him through life and death situations.


    "So from today onwards, you will primarily fight magical beasts. You just need to increase your experience."


    Saint Silkworm said as he waved his hand.


    Jun Qiyan nodded and went to the back of the mountain.


    Three Class 4 Magical Beasts weren''t difficult tasks for her, but it couldn''t be said to be simple either.


    Jun Qiyan took a full day to complete the task.


    The following task was obviously more difficult every day. Every time Jun Qianyan came back, she would be covered in injuries.


    However, as long as he soaked in the Spirit Spring Water for two hours, the wounds on his body would be completely healed.


    Half a month later, Jun Qiyan could clearly feel that the toughness of her body and the purity of her spirit energy had increased by quite a few grades compared to before.


    "I''ll give you a test today. If you succeed, you can break through to Foundation Establishment level 4 together!" Saint Silkworm said in a mysterious tone, purposely putting on a suspense.


    Jun Qiyan''s eyes lit up when he heard this.


    The higher one''s level of cultivation got, the more difficult it would be to raise. Jun Qiyan had already been stuck at the third level of the Foundation Establishment stage for over a month.


    "I have been discussing it with Mo Jiu for the past few days and have created a formation." Saint Silkworm slowly said.


    "In a while, I will send you in. There is an animal inside that is bloodthirsty, and that was caught by me a few years ago. But don''t worry, you won''t be in any danger within the formation." As if he was afraid that the other party was scared to death, Saint Silkworm Yuan Zun hurriedly said.


    Jun Qiyan raised an eyebrow. A magical beast that could be called bloodthirsty by the Saint Silkworm would definitely not be easy to deal with after being locked up for many years.


    Thinking up to this point, Jun Qiyan''s heart couldn''t help but burn with a raging fighting spirit.


    "Then when can I challenge it?" Jun Qiyan asked with a hint of excitement.


    Saint Silkworm shot a glance at Jun Qiyan, before saying helplessly, "I''ve made you anxious. Since you''re in such a hurry, let''s go in now!"


    The Saint Silkworm elder acted as if he was joking. He waved his hand and a black tunnel appeared in front of Jun Qianyan.


    Jun Qiyan dived into the cave without a second thought.


    The passageway was pitch-black. Jun Qiyan could only walk forward; she did not know when it would come to an end.


    Only after an incense''s time did Jun Qiyan finally see the light.


    Walking out of the passageway, they saw a vast world.


    Roar ~ ~


    Suddenly, a howl came from behind him, reaching into the sky and piercing through the clouds. The previously clear sky was now shrouded by dark clouds and lightning. The sand behind him also flew up, swirling around Jun Qianyan''s body.


    The aura of the devil beast was tyrannical and strong. Even Jun Qiyan was shaken by this roar.


    Looks like he''s a big guy!


    "Ugh!"


    Before she could turn around, she felt a pain on her body, and when she managed to react, she was already smacked onto a tree to the side. She had to adjust her qi and energy before she could barely kneel on the ground, a sharp stench of blood filling her mouth.


    Jun Qiyan silently blamed himself for his carelessness in his heart. The stages of the test was indeed not as trivial as the previous tests had been!


    Only now did Jun Qiyan clearly see the magical beast''s face. Within the black mist, a pair of red eyes were filled with hostility. The black mist protected it well, and she was no longer able to find any flaws in it.


    Jun Qiyan''s chin moved a little, and then she spat something out. She rolled a few times on the ground, and stopped in front of a human skull.


    "Pfft, murderous nature." Her thin eyebrows creased and a hint of anger appeared in her cold eyes. She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand.


    "Today, I shall carry out justice in place of these ghosts!"


    With that said, she pulled out the sword on her back with one hand, and with the other, she slammed it onto the ground. Then, she jumped onto the back of that magical beast, leaving a deep gash.


    The fog was split apart, revealing flesh and blood. There was no trace of the blood that one would expect from a demon beast''s howl. Jun Qiyan only felt that the ground beneath her feet was no longer as hard as stone, but had become incomparably soft.


    This was a training mission given by Saint Silkworm and Di Mo Jiu. To be able to gain their acknowledgement meant that this magical beast was very strong and must not be underestimated! Jun Qiyan hurriedly took a deep breath, and jumped down from its back.


    She vigilantly and carefully observed the magical beast''s transformation. Before she understood the magical beast''s ability, she could not act rashly. But the magical beast in front of him was not ordinary. The wound on his back was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye!


    "Infinite Rebirth?"


    She looked at the undamaged black mist and was shocked.


    The black mist didn''t give her the chance to think. Like a tiger''s paw, it rapidly swiped towards Jun Qiyan''s direction. Having just suffered this blow, she knew very well how powerful it was.


    She quickly dodged, raised the sword in her hand and ran towards the magical beast.


    The blade flashed, and instantly, a rain of blood began to fall as the magical beast was split into two. The strange black mist also dispersed, and a pile of bones fell from the spot where they had just been separated from. Jun Qiyan stood still not too far away, watching as the magical beast was cut into two, and the anger in his eyes gradually subsided.


    "Serves him right. With such a cut, let''s see how you can come back to life forever. "


    After saying that, she shifted her gaze to the white bones at the side and couldn''t help but sigh. She put down the sword in her hand, picked up the wooden stick beside her, and started digging into the ground.


    Completely unaware, the black mist gradually gathered on the corpse of the magical beast. The scarlet eyes that were originally closed once again opened without a sound.


    All of this happened quietly.


    Suddenly, Jun Qiyan felt that something was amiss. He turned around and saw that the corpse had been split into two, and it was still as big as an elephant. One on the left and one on the right, it was holding Jun Qiyan in the middle.


    Looking at the sword, it was already in the mouth of the magical beast.


    "Damn it!" I thought I wouldn''t be able to use it! " One Infinite Rebirth was already troublesome enough, but now another one had appeared! She couldn''t help cursing under her breath.


    Standing alone and helpless, she ignited specks of fire in her hands. With a "bang," the flames continued to burn continuously in her palms. She quickly threw out a fireball in the direction of the black fog. The black fog opened a hole in it and swallowed the fireball without a trace.


    Then, the black fog appeared very close to Jun Qiyan.


    "Teleportation?!" Jun Qiyan hurriedly took a few steps back as he caught his breath. However, the black mist suddenly appeared behind Jun Feiyan.


    She turned around, and the bloody mouth appeared in front of her. Before she could even react, her arm was bitten by the black fog.


    Blood dyed her white clothes red as it continued to spread outwards. She could feel with her own body that the sharp teeth in her mouth were grinding against her shoulder bones, trying to crush her.


    I can''t die here!


    Jun Qiyan''s palm landed on the black fog''s neck. The magic beast let out another roar and let go of her arm. She hurriedly took a few steps back and retreated to a safe place.


    The two enraged magical beasts pursued relentlessly, one in front and one behind, blocking her path of retreat. They then launched a fierce attack towards her.


    Just dodging was already exhausting for her. At this moment, her face was pale and her lips were bloodless. It was as if she had lost too much blood.


    "This is experiential learning ¡­" You absolutely cannot use it! "


    Jun Qianyan unconsciously let out the ''Heavenly Flame'' and quickly withdrew it. Her eyes were firm and she was enduring the pain while gritting her teeth as she stared at the two balls of black fog before her.


    His sharp eyes constantly searched the black fog, hoping to find some flaws within.


    But this mass of black fog, he couldn''t even see it clearly, how could he look for a flaw? Perhaps ¡­ Fire could dispel the black fog, allowing one to clearly see its movements. In order to truly attack, one had to rely on themselves.


    She thought of the palm that had landed on its neck. Suddenly, a flash of golden light appeared around her body.


    She gathered the fire in one hand and hacked at its neck.


    "And now ¡ª it''s my turn!"


    "Roar ~ ~ ~" Yet another wail pierced the horizon, and the magical beast''s eyes became even fiercer. There was even a hint of anger in its expression as it lost control.


    "Ha!" Jun Qiyan sneered as he enveloped his hands and feet in fire, launching an intense attack on it.


    The bullet hit nothing.


    With every palm strike, each kick landed solidly on the magical beast''s body. Apart from slight burns, most of them were internal injuries caused by her punches and kicks.


    If Jun Qiyan had put her all into this gamble just now, then the current her could be said to have achieved great success.


    The black fog had already dissipated. The demonic beast''s scarlet eyes gradually became distorted and hideous. Its body also fell to the ground in an extremely twisted manner.


    ''Bang! ''a loud sound was heard as Feng Chen was swept up into the air. Jun Qianyan immediately curled her body and covered her eyes with her arm.


    When he opened his eyes again, the black mist had disappeared without a trace. Even the dark sky had disappeared with the lightning from the dark clouds. There were no longer any traces of magical beasts on the ground, only bones and his broken sword.


    "Phew ¡ª it''s over." Only then did Jun Qianyan retract her fire. Looking at the faint but gentle golden light that gradually disappeared from her body, she heaved a sigh of relief.


    It was obvious that after this experience, her body''s toughness had increased by more than a level. It was just as Saint Silkworm said, she already had signs of a breakthrough.


    She did not care about the dried up leaves on her body. She used her wooden stick to dig a hole and buried all of the corpses. Then, she inserted her broken sword into the ground.


    After doing all of this, she bowed once more. Only then did she drag her injured arm and set foot on the road back to the thatched cottage.


    Before he could climb the mountain, a roadblock appeared halfway up the mountain. A dignified and graceful young woman stood in front of Jun Qiyan, her arms spread wide.


    "Little beggar?"


    "Little beggar, stop right there!"

 C102

    Jun Qiyan coldly glared at the girl who was blocking her way. This outfit made her look like a lady from a wealthy family.


    "Hey!" Little beggar! I''m talking to you! "


    The girl was getting impatient. She raised her chin with eyes full of contempt.


    Not only was she dressed up, her arrogant and domineering attitude made her seem like the young miss of a rich family. Jun Qiyan sneered as she moved past her obstructing hand.


    "Stop right there!"


    Seeing that the beggar had ignored her, the young miss became even angrier. She stomped her feet and chased after him. She grabbed Jun Qiyan''s clothes with one hand, and rubbed the leaves next to her in disgust.


    Jun Qiyan''s body stopped in her tracks as she was grabbed by the arm. She turned around, her cold gaze fixed on Eldest Miss''s face for a few seconds.


    "If you have something to say, hurry up and say it."


    "So it isn''t a mute!" Originally, I wanted you to lead the way. "I am here to acknowledge you as my master. Tell me, where does Saint Silkworm Yuan Zun live?"


    The young miss felt her heart tremble under her gaze, but she didn''t want to lose in terms of momentum. She cleared her throat and pretended to speak with dignity.


    He had come to look for the Saint Silkworm. Jun Qiyan raised an eyebrow.


    "Why should I tell you?"


    The eldest young miss had always been pampered since she was young. She had never been rejected by others.


    Hearing this, she had a look of disbelief. She pointed at herself and opened her mouth, unable to speak for a long time.


    "On what basis? Heh! Do you know who I am?! " The young miss thought for a moment and then took out a heavy purse from her storage ring. She then took out a piece of gold and held it in front of Jun Qiyan.


    "How about this, lead the way, this money is all yours. This money is enough to buy you a new set of clothes.


    The young miss''s eyes were filled with disdain. Jun Qiyan followed her gaze and saw that her clothes had already been torn by the magical beast, and coupled with the wet clothes from the rain and the dust from the battle, her originally white clothes had become tattered. It was no wonder that the young miss called her a beggar.


    However, as a woman of the 24th century, Jun Qiyan had already disappeared without a trace, but her hatred for her had only increased. How could she be so arrogant?


    Pui! Being rich was amazing! In her heart, Jun Qiyan ruthlessly looked down on the Eldest Miss, and coldly rejected her.


    "I refuse."


    "He''s just a beggar, his entire body is poor and sour, yet his attitude is so arrogant."


    The eldest young miss coldly snorted and whispered. Her voice was very soft, but not a single word was lost in Jun Qiyan''s ears.


    The eldest miss threw the purse at Jun Qiyan and raised her eyebrows. "As long as you lead the way, these will all be yours."


    When Jun Qiyan heard this, he sneered. She was clearly the one who was arrogant and despotic, but now, she was biting back and saying that her attitude was vile. It was truly laughable.


    She bent down to pick up the muddy purse, and Eldest Miss''s eyes lit up.


    "So rich can make ghosts push ¡­" "You!"


    Before the young miss could finish her sentence, Jun Qiyan had already tossed the mud-stained purse onto the young miss''s body. The mud spots on her pink silk clothes were particularly conspicuous.


    She choked back the rest of her words. She glared at him, unable to say anything for a long time.


    "He stinks of copper. "Since money can drive ghosts, then young miss, you should keep the money to ask for directions from ghosts!"


    "What do you mean by that!"


    The young miss had an ominous premonition in her heart. Her tone carried a trace of a questioning tone as she angrily glared at her.


    "Literally."


    Jun Qiyan mysteriously raised an eyebrow. She activated her movement technique and leapt into the air. In an instant, she disappeared without a trace, leaving the young miss all alone in the wilderness.


    Inside the thatched cottage.


    Di Mo Jiu was sitting on a cushion at the side with his back straightened and eyes closed. The aura around him was still as strong as ever, and it was even a bit solemn.


    The Saint Silkworm held his teacup and took a sip at a moderate pace, as if he had been waiting for Jun Qiyan''s arrival for a long time.


    This was what Jun Qiyan saw when he returned. Puzzled, she walked over and sat down on a cushion in front of the Saint Silkworm. Her eyes were fixed on Di Mo Jiu''s body, not retracting for a long time.


    "Muji, you came at the right time." Saint Silkworm took another sip of tea before raising his eyes, "You should be able to tell that Di Mo Jiu''s aura is unstable. I believe you are also very suspicious."


    Jun Qiyan nodded. "Saint Silkworm, he''s ¡­"


    "This is my own magic formation." Saint Silkworm Yuanzun took her words and continued, "This array has the effect of stabilizing one''s mind. Using poison to counter poison, it creates illusions and when one breaks through the illusions, their control over their spiritual energy will rise to a whole new level. "But something went wrong while we were on our way here. Di Mo Jiu, he ¡­"


    "He''s been like this ever since you left."


    That was three days and three nights! When Jun Qiyan saw the unhurried look on the Saint Silkworm''s face, her eyebrows knitted together. She had started to worry.


    "Then, has he not eaten for three days and three nights?"


    "Yes."


    "Since you can send him in, then you can definitely send me in as well. I''ll have to trouble you to send me into the formation. " She thought for a moment and then bowed.


    "Mo Jiu, for this illusion to trap him, it must be a huge problem for you. Moreover, this is Di Mo Jiu''s illusion, it''s what he wants so much in his heart ¡­" If you die in it, your body dies too. Even so, do you still want to go? "


    "Mu Jiu has made up his mind." Jun Qiyan took a deep breath and looked up, determination in her eyes.


    He then waved his hand and chanted a spell incantation. In a flash, light shot out from the ground; it was the shape of a spell formation. There was one under Di Mo Jiu''s prayer mat, and one under his feet.


    Jun Qiyan felt a bit sleepy after being bathed in the sunlight.


    But Di Mo Jiu was in a meditative state, his drowsiness was not right, right?


    "Saint Silkworm, Senior Yuan, why did I ¡­" Before she could finish her words, she collapsed onto the prayer mat and lost consciousness.


    The Saint Silkworm Master looked at the sleeping Jun Qianyan and sighed once more. He then picked up the tea that was placed at the side.


    "Yin Muju, this will depend on your good fortune."


    Jun Qiyan only felt his vision darken as he felt powerless. It was only after a long while did he feel better.


    When both her eyes and body recovered, she saw the scene not far away. Her eyes widened in disbelief.


    Not far away, the green river waters were warm, and a man and a woman were embracing each other on the bank of the weeping willow. The two of them were chatting and laughing, and from time to time, a layer of blush would surface on the woman''s face.


    Jun Qiyan recognized Di Mo Jiu, but he couldn''t believe his eyes when he saw the woman in his embrace.


    That woman had the appearance of Jun Qiyan!

 C103

    Jun Qiyan held onto the ground as she slowly stood up. However, before she could even stand up, her legs gave way and she fell onto the ground.


    Saint Silkworm said this was Emperor Mo Jiu''s illusion, his obsession ¡­ But how could this woman be her appearance? Could it be that Di Mo Jiu was going to fight him...


    Thinking up to this point, Jun Qiyan hurriedly shook her head, and a trace of a suspicious blush appeared on her face.


    "Are you okay?" A hand appeared before his eyes, and a familiar voice sounded from the top of his head. It was the same voice as his own.


    Jun Qiyan raised her head and saw the worried look on Jun Qianyan''s face. Di Mo Jiu was standing not far behind her, looking at her indifferently as she fell to the ground.


    How could Di Mo Jiu turn a blind eye to him? Jun Qiyan fell into a trance for a moment. Then, he crawled up on his hands.


    "Thank you for Miss''s concern, I''m fine."


    "You''re already injured, how can you be alright?" Why don''t you come to our room and sit down, and I''ll bandage you up... "Oh, right. I''m Jun Qiyan. This is my husband, Di Mo Jiu ¡­"


    Jun Qiyan continued halfway through his sentence, as if he had thought of something else.


    Husband? Jun Qiyan only felt that he had been hacked on the outside but inside out.


    The heavens must be messing with her! Did he really need to explode from the very beginning?


    Di Mo Jiu''s face turned even darker, his lips parted slightly, interrupting her.


    "Xiao Yan, why waste time on this beggar? Whether good or evil is still unknown. "


    Di Mo Jiu looked at himself, not with a trace of emotion, but only with caution and vigilance.


    When Jun Qiyan heard this, the corner of his mouth couldn''t help but twitch.


    As expected, this was the real Ninth Master. However, when he saw Di Mo and Di Jiu''s unfamiliar expressions, for some reason, Jun Qiyan felt a wave of bitterness surge through her heart.


    "Mo Jiu!" Jun Qianyan fiercely glared at her, then turned to Jun Feiyan and smiled, "My family''s Mo Jiu has such a suspicious character, please forgive me. "Come to our house. I''ll bandage your wound."


    Jun Qiyan raised his eyebrows and looked at his other self, then looked at Di Mo Jiu who was standing beside "Jun Qiyan."


    Interesting ¡­


    At this time, Jun Qianyan was very glad that he hadn''t taken a bath and changed his clothes after completing his mission. If he hadn''t suffered this kind of injury, perhaps he would have been driven out by Di Mo Jiu.


    "Thank you, my lady."


    Within a small room.


    "Mo Jiu and I were living in seclusion here. I thought I would never see anyone else besides him!" Jun Qiyan was currently bandaging the clean Jun Qianyan, chattering nonstop.


    Strangely enough, Di Mo Jiu, who always liked peace and quiet, didn''t say a word at this time nor did he express his dissent towards Jun Feiyan. His eyes contained a trace of a strange expression as they stayed on Jun Feiyan''s body.


    "I came here to gain experience, and was seriously injured by that black shadow demon beast. I fell off the cliff and drifted along the river." Jun Qiyan closed her eyes and lied about what she had read in the past.


    "So that''s how it is." Jun Qiyan thoughtfully nodded his head. Suddenly, his hands stopped moving.


    "Hiss!" Jun Qiyan sucked in a breath of cold air.


    "What''s wrong?" When Di Mo Jiu heard the scream, he immediately ran over, put her small hand into his palm and blew on her injured index finger.


    "It''s nothing. It''s just that when I cut the cloth, I accidentally cut my hand."


    It was only now that Jun Qianyan could see that Di Mo Jiu''s eyes were filled with a doting look. From the start till now, he only had a little more worry and heartache.


    However, these were all for Jun Qiyan, not for her.


    As Jun Qiyan watched the interaction between the two, he couldn''t help but feel a little puzzled. If it was according to what Saint Silkworm Master said, then he could be sure that Di Mo Jiu''s obsession was himself.


    But the "Jun Qiyan" in front of him was still different.


    As a cultivator, how could his hand be cut by scissors? Moreover, the person in front of him was much more gentle than him.


    Perhaps, this was the ''Jun Qiyan'' that Di Mo Jiu had in his heart, and it was his true feelings. Speaking of which, it was very different from how he normally acted when he was dressed in men''s clothes.


    "Excuse me ¡­" Do you have a bronze mirror? " Jun Qiyan asked weakly, interrupting their conversation.


    "Ah, yes. I''ll take it for you. " After he finished speaking, ''Jun Qiyan'' turned around and left. Now, only Di Mo Jiu and Jun Qianyan were left in this room.


    Jun Qiyan felt a chill run down his spine. When he turned around, he saw Di Mo Jiu''s sharp eyes staring at him, his lips were tightly pursed.


    Why didn''t Mo Jiu recognize him? Not only did he not know him, he was also hostile towards him. However, the most important thing right now was to bring him out of the illusion ¡­ Jun Qiyan lightly sighed, intending to reveal his identity.


    "Ninth Master, I''m ¡­"


    "No matter who you are, stay away from Xiao Budian or I won''t forgive you!" Di Mo Jiu interrupted her with a hint of warning in his eyes.


    When Jun Qiyan heard this, the corner of his mouth stiffened as he sucked in a breath of cold air. He wasn''t sure before, but now, Mo Jiu really did not recognize him. Furthermore, he was his imaginary enemy.


    Although she felt a bit uncomfortable, in regards to matters of life and death, she still had to focus on the bigger picture.


    "Mo Jiu, listen to me first, this is an illusion! It''s all fake! " She leaned forward and said urgently.


    Di Mo Jiu gave her a cold glance, turning his gaze towards the direction in which ''Jun Qiyan'' had left outside the door.


    "I don''t know what you''re talking about."


    "Di Mo Jiu!" This was an illusion! This is what you''re thinking, but all of this is not true! "


    "Nonsense! Jun Qiyan is obviously my wife, how could I be wrong! "


    Di Mo Jiu stood up and looked back. There was already anger on his face and the Qi on his fingertips was slowly gathering. In an instant, he looked like a sharp blade.


    "Xiao Yan is my wife and she kindly accepted you. If you continue to speak nonsense, don''t blame me for killing you."


    After she finished speaking, in the blink of an eye, Jun Qiyan only felt a chill on her neck as the sharp blade was already pressed against her neck.


    Jun Qiyan felt the cold chill on her neck, and immediately felt upset. The Ninth Master had never treated her like this before ¡­


    Regarding Di Mo Jiu''s determination, she didn''t know if she should be happy, sad or jealous.


    She just stared at him with a complicated expression on her face, while he remained as cold as ever.


    "Mo Jiu! What are you doing! "


    When ''Jun Qiyan'' returned, she happened to see the scene before her. She hurriedly put down the bronze mirror in her hand and pulled Di Mo Jiu aside.


    Di Mo Jiu let out a cold snort, retracted his anger, and stood to the side, not saying anything.


    "She is a wounded person, how can you point a knife at her? ''Sigh, don''t take offense to it. Mo Jiu is just like this. He doesn''t like to talk, and he has offended you.'' Jun Qiyan held her hand and looked at her worriedly.


    As he finished speaking, ''Jun Qiyan'' seemed to have thought of something and brought over the bronze mirror by the side.


    "This is the copper mirror you wanted."


    "Thank you, young lady." Jun Qiyan nodded, and took the mirror from her.


    Due to the backward technology, the things reflected in the dim yellow mirror were all a bit distorted. However, one could still see the true appearance of the things.


    With just that one glance, Jun Qiyan''s grip softened and the copper mirror fell to the ground with a bang.


    "Sir, this bronze mirror ¡­" "Is there a problem?" Jun Qiyan asked worriedly from the side.


    Jun Qiyan didn''t say anything. When he looked up, his face was filled with an expression of disbelief.

 C104

    Although the person in the mirror was still a handsome man, she didn''t look like Yin Moyu when she was dressed as a man. She didn''t look like her real body, Jun Qianyan at all, as if she was a completely different person.


    It was no wonder that Di Mo Jiu would have such a strong enmity towards him!


    He must have seen himself as an enemy from the very beginning!


    "No ¡­." "It''s fine."


    Jun Qiyan pushed the bronze mirror back into Jun Qiyan''s hands, and then turned his head away with a guilty conscience. He no longer dared to look at Di Mo Jiu and Jun Qiyan.


    "Um, bro, your face ¡­"


    Seeing that Jun Qianyan''s reaction was so intense, he hurriedly asked, but before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Di Mo Jiu, "He''s just an unimportant person, you taking him in is already a great kindness to him. You don''t have to worry too much about him!"


    "You!"


    This was the first time that Jun Qiyan had ever been treated coldly by someone other than the people who were hostile towards her. She couldn''t help but turn around and glare at Di Mo Jiu in anger, but when she saw his ice-cold gaze, she was the first to fall out of the battle.


    "Sigh!"


    Seeing Jun Qiyan walk out without looking back, "Jun Qianyan" hurriedly stopped her, but Di Mo Jiu pulled her behind him. Although the sharpness in his eyes had yet to completely fade, his tone was gentle and doting, "Don''t be anxious, I''ll follow you out to take a look. You just stay here and don''t run around, don''t make me worry, okay?"


    "Jun Qiyan''s" eyes lit up as she smiled and nodded.


    Seeing that Di Moyu had released his hand and turned around to chase after Jun Feiyan, the smile on Jun Qianyan''s face gradually turned cold. The bashfulness in her eyes was also replaced by Ling Feng ¡ª her intuition told her that this person''s arrival was definitely not a good thing!


    By the river bank, Jun Qiyan was sitting on a pile of rocks with a frown on her face. She mechanically tossed the stones at her feet into the river, but the scene from earlier still echoed in her mind ¡ª


    Since he was the obsession of Di Mo Jiu, he didn''t want to let it go. But now that ''Jun Qiyan'' had become his wife, how could he not be satisfied?


    Why did he have to be trapped in this illusion and refuse to wake up?


    Dong!


    However, after thinking for a long time, she was still unable to come up with a conclusion, so she could only put her thoughts away. She had originally wanted to observe for a few more days to find a way to break through the formation, but Di Mo Jiu seemed to be even more anxious than her, so he came looking for her at the door ¡ª ¡ª


    "Is there something you need from me?"


    This time, he chose to retreat in order to advance, pretending that he had never met Di Mo Jiu or "Jun Feiyan". He stood up, bowed, and explained in a leisurely manner, "Just now, I met with Sir and Lady, and they were quite similar to my old friend. I was still in a daze, so I was a little excited, and I hope that Sir and Lady can forgive me."


    Since the moment Di Mo Jiu saw Jun Qianyan, he hadn''t been able to loosen his brows. Even after hearing her explanation, his complexion had not improved at all. He didn''t even make a sound as he only stared at Jun Qianyan with suspicion written all over his face.


    "Cough, cough ¡­"


    Feeling that the atmosphere had become a little awkward, Jun Qiyan hurriedly coughed twice, intending to explain more. Di Mo Jiu finally opened his mouth and said, "I don''t care who the people you know are, as long as you have ill intentions towards Xiao Qi, then don''t blame me for not giving my life for Xiao Qi''s sake!"


    The familiar tone caused Jun Qiyan to be stunned. In her impression, Di Mo Jiu had also threatened her with hostility from such a cold tone, but now ¡­


    "That''s for sure." A burst of bitterness suddenly appeared in Jun Qiyan''s heart. She smiled bitterly and replied, "Rest assured, your excellency. I am not a person who does not know how to repay kindness. I will definitely not repay kindness with enmity."


    Di Mo Jiu coldly snorted, and without a word, he turned around and was about to leave.


    "Please wait!"


    Taking advantage of the fact that ''Jun Qiyan'' was not around, Jun Qianyan called out to Di Mo Jiu, intending to find an opening from him first. "I was really envious when I saw Sir and Lady just now.


    Di Mo Jiu''s body stiffened and he fell into a deep silence.


    "..." It''s been years. "


    "I''ve known her for a long time, but I was careless last year and was unable to protect her. She was severely injured and nearly lost her life ¡­"


    Hearing Di Mo Jiu''s words, Jun Qiyan''s heart jumped to her throat.


    His injury actually caused Di Mo Jiu to feel so guilty and sad. Could it be ¡­


    "It wasn''t easy for her to wake up from her coma, but she lost all her memories and completely forgot about me and her past." Di Mo Jiu slightly raised his head, quietly looking at the sky, his expression was a little gloomy, "So, the reason why she and I are living in seclusion here is to not let her have it, and secondly ¡­"


    "Secondly, you can be together with her. You don''t need to worry about the people and matters outside, right?"


    Jun Qiyan''s brain finally came back to its senses as he cautiously asked Di Mo Jiu.


    Di Mo Jiu paused for a moment, then nodded.


    So this was the determination of Di Mo Jiu!


    Even after he lost his memories and went into seclusion with Jun Qianyan, he still couldn''t give her any sense of security. Otherwise, he wouldn''t have exposed such a vigilant and cold expression on his face when he saw an unfamiliar man approach her.


    Jun Qianyan suddenly slapped his forehead as he came to a realization. However, the dark energy in his heart also gradually began to surge ¡ª since this was what trapped Di Mo Jiu''s determination, then what would happen when he woke up from the illusion? How could she face him?


    "What kind of expression is that?"


    Di Mo Jiu was shocked by Jun Qianyan''s reaction. The gloom on his face was immediately covered by a chill. His eyes were filled with vigilance, and the sword in his hand was almost unsheathed.


    "Don''t, don''t, don''t, don''t! Sir, don''t be so excited! "


    Seeing Di Mo Jiu''s expression, Jun Qiyan shuddered and immediately panicked, saying, "I, I just thought of something ¡­" I might be able to help you resolve the problem before you! "


    "With just you?" Di Mo Jiu snorted, regretting that he had just told this "beggar" the truth, so his tone became less friendly, "To be able to be injured like this by a demon beast, you must not be a capable person. How dare you say that you can help me solve my doubts? I can see that you have quite the guts! "

 C105

    "No ¡­" Don''t get excited! "What I mean is, I''m a doctor, so my cultivation isn''t very high. Naturally, I can be pressed down to the ground by the magical beasts."


    In order to dispel Di Mo Jiu''s wariness, Jun Qiyan started to blabber on, in order to preserve his life, he directly poked Di Mo Jiu''s sore spot, "Right now, your Excellency''s greatest annoyance is the matter of the young lady''s amnesia, and because the young lady forgot her past with you, Your Excellency feels very uneasy, and is always worried that the young lady might leave you ¡­" "In short, as long as you remember the past, you don''t have to worry so much."


    With that, Jun Qianyan stealthily took a deep breath, glanced at Di Mo Jiu, and immediately reopened his eyes, pretending to be profound as she continued, "If you want to recall my memories, I know a way."


    Jun Qiyan deliberately paused for a moment, but still didn''t see Di Mo Jiu''s reply. He couldn''t help but feel uneasy. He thought to himself: Could this guy be still suspicious of me, looking for an opportunity to make a move against me?


    Thinking of this, cold sweat broke out on Jun Qiyan''s back. She subconsciously turned her head to glance at Di Mo Jiu. Almost at the same time, a sharp pain came from her arm.


    Jun Qiyan''s heart tightened as she gritted her teeth. She looked up to see Di Mo Jiu tightly holding onto her arm. Di Mo Jiu''s face was as black as ink, so she could only keep her mouth shut, not daring to speak.


    Di Mo Jiu narrowed his eyes and sized her up after seeing her calmness. Only then did he let his guard down a little bit. However, he still coldly looked at her and slowly said two words in a cold and stiff tone, "Speak."


    What kind of person was this!


    Even though others helped him out with good intentions, he actually didn''t have a good expression!


    Jun Qianyan subconsciously rolled her eyes. Just as she was about to speak out her thoughts about Di Mo Jiu, she felt the pain on her arm become a bit worse. She immediately grimaced and pleaded, "A good man, please let him go! I''ll say it now! "


    Di Mo Jiu finally let go after hearing Jun Qiyan''s response.


    Jun Qiyan wanted to cry, but no tears came out. Looking at the arm that had been pinched red for no reason, he pitifully looked at Di Mo Jiu and muttered, "Sir, I can understand you, but I ¡­" and my arms, they''re innocent! "


    "Speak!"


    Seeing that Jun Qiyan was still not willing to get to the main point, Di Mo Jiu''s patience was almost worn out. She frowned, her face sank as she pinched Jun Qianyan''s neck and angrily threatened, "Otherwise, I''ll go back and tell Xiao Qi that you''ve accidentally fallen into the river. By the time I rushed over and fished you out, you''d already be dead!"


    As Di Mo Jiu said this, he raised his hand and walked towards the river bank. Jun Qianyan''s feet left the ground and fluttered in the air. Her face turned pale as she pleaded, "No, no, I''ll tell you. I''ll tell you!"


    Di Mo Jiu had always been a man of his word, and since he said it, he would definitely do it!


    "Humph!"


    Di Mujiu''s face was dark as he threw Jun Qiyan to the ground. He placed his hand on the hilt of his sword, raised his eyebrows and sneered, "Then go ahead! This time, I have shown mercy, but next time, my sword might not be like this! "


    Jun Qiyan swallowed his saliva and said softly, "Since Your Excellency said that this girl was severely injured and had fainted, and had lost her memory only after waking up, then I presume that this girl''s brain had suffered a violent impact, which caused her to lose her memory ¡­ "If that''s the case, you can take me to the place where the incident happened and give me a thrill. This is the way to remember the past ¡­"


    "Is there even a need for you to say that?"


    Di Mo Jiu pulled back his face before Jun Qianyan could finish his sentence. He angrily shouted again, interrupting Jun Qianyan''s words. Then, he saw that Di Mo Jiu''s sword had left its scabbard ¡ª ¡ª


    "Halt!"


    He rolled on the ground, avoiding Di Mo Jiu''s first strike as he broke out in a cold sweat, clutching his beating heart, and shouted, "I have another way!"


    Di Mo Jiu was obviously impatient. With a dark face, he forced out a word from between his teeth, "Speak!"


    Jun Qiyan breathed a sigh of relief, and asked tentatively, "Has Miss been there many times?"


    Di Mo Jiu did not reply, but from his expression, Jun Qianyan could already tell what the answer was.


    "Since the lady has been to the scene many times, but her brain is still not affected and can''t remember, then it means that it wasn''t due to her being injured that she lost her memory!" Jun Qiyan stared at Di Mo Jiu''s sword as he carefully stood up from the ground. After calming himself down, he continued, "I have seen Master diagnose a condition ¡ª his memory has been sealed with a magic."


    "Impossible!"


    Di Mo Jiu interrupted Jun Qiyan''s words without even thinking, "If that''s the case, how could I not know that Xiao Qi was hit by a spell?"


    "That may not be so!"


    However, seeing that Di Mo Jiu was still unwilling to withdraw his sword, his vigilance towards himself not only did not decrease, but instead increased, even to the point of disgust. Jun Qiyan did not dare to directly say what he was thinking and could only tactfully reply, "Sir, as you have already said, when the young lady is severely injured, her entire body and mind is completely focused on the life and death of the young lady. Naturally, she has neglected this magic, and it is hard for someone to enter without it."


    "What are you trying to say?"


    Di Mo Jiu couldn''t stand Jun Qiyan''s roundabout way of speaking, so he directly said, "Just tell me, can you restore Xiao Qi''s memories?!"


    "..." "Yes!"


    At this point, Jun Qiyan could only bite the bullet and bite the bullet. When she thought of how Di Mo Jiu had meditated for three days and three nights without a drop of water or even a grain of rice, she couldn''t help but worry about his body. Furthermore, she herself wasn''t any better off.


    Therefore, when she stepped into this illusion, she had already made the preparations for a quick and decisive battle, but she absolutely could not drag it out any longer. Otherwise, if anything were to happen, even she might not be able to wake up.


    "Then let''s go."


    Di Mo Jiu kept his sword, extended his hand in front of Jun Qianyan and ordered expressionlessly.


    He muttered in his heart as he placed his hand on top of Di Mo Jiu''s hand. But in the next second, before she could even react, Di Mo Jiu''s other hand quickly reached out to Jun Mo Xie''s face. While she was still gaping in surprise, he quickly stuffed a pill into her mouth!


    "You ¡ª what did you give me to eat!"


    Jun Qiyan''s complexion changed as she hurriedly pushed Di Mo Jiu away. When she reacted, the unknown pill had already been swallowed by her!

 C106

    Seeing that Jun Qianyan was on the verge of death, Di Mo Jiu''s expression did not change at all and only faintly said, "Don''t worry, as long as you do what you say, I will naturally cure you and not make things difficult for you."


    What do you mean you don''t know how to make things difficult? Wasn''t it obvious that he was in a difficult situation?


    If this wasn''t considered difficult, then what was considered difficult?


    Jun Qiyan cursed Di Mo Jiu in her heart more than ten times, but now that Di Mo Jiu was the one holding her life, she couldn''t resist much. She could only accept her fate and ask, "When will the poison break out?"


    "Three days."


    It was as though Di Mo was talking about something he had nothing to do with. Di Mo Jiu''s expression didn''t change as he coldly laughed, "So, you''d better ¡­"


    "I got it!"


    Jun Qiyan gritted his teeth as he interrupted Di Mo Jiu''s words, secretly calculating ¡­


    Not to mention three days, even if he stayed here one more day, it would still be dangerous!


    Counting before she had entered the illusion world, Di Mo Jiu hadn''t eaten for almost four days. If this continued for another three days, not to mention that he would have been poisoned to death in the illusion world, even if he didn''t die, Di Mo Jiu would still die from exhaustion!


    As he thought of this, Jun Qiyan started to panic even more. He didn''t wait for Di Mo Jiu to explain any further and rushed to the room where ''Jun Qiyan'' was.


    "Bang ~ ~ ~"


    The door was roughly opened, scaring "Jun Qianyan, who was making tea," until her hand abruptly stopped moving. She wasn''t paying attention, and was burned by the steaming hot water.


    "Aiya!"


    Jun Qiyan hurriedly retracted his hand, and coincidentally, Di Mo Jiu also returned. When he saw Jun Qianyan groan while holding her hand, he quickly rushed over, carefully held her hand, and asked with a pained expression, "What''s wrong? "Where is the injury?"


    After Di Mo Jiu finished caring about ''Jun Qiyan'', he turned to look at Jun Qianyan, his eyes filled with warning and anger.


    "I... I''m sorry, I didn''t know the girl was making tea and I accidentally scared the girl. "


    Jun Qiyan was also helpless and quickly apologized. He had only opened the door, how could he scare this imposter? He still needed to see Di Mo Jiu''s face after that.


    "It''s fine. It''s not his fault. I accidentally got it myself."


    "Jun Qiyan smiled lightly. Seeing that Di Mo Jiu''s expression had turned serious again, he hurriedly explained," Are you in such a hurry to come back? What''s the matter? "


    "I ¡­" Jun Qiyan scratched his head and realized that he had come back in a hurry, but he couldn''t say it out loud when he was asked that question. After looking at the red blotch on "Jun Qianyan''s" hand, he thought of something and quickly changed the topic, "Is my lady''s hand injured? What a coincidence, I''m an expert in medicine, let me show you! "


    As Jun Qianyan spoke, he signaled Di Mo Jiu with his eyes, afraid that this fellow wouldn''t be able to figure it out and draw out his sword to slash at him.


    The truth proved that Di Mo Jiu also had this thought.


    However, when he recalled the words spoken by Jun Qianyan on the riverbank, Di Mo Jiu paused for two seconds and nodded his head. While unwillingly releasing Jun Qianyan''s hand, he softly replied, "Just let him see.


    Di Mo Jiu''s words almost made Jun Qiyan spit out a mouthful of blood out of anger ¨C in Di Mo Jiu''s eyes, everyone had value, no?


    "Alright." Hearing Di Mo Jiu''s words, ''Jun Feiyan'' also cooperated very well. He took the initiative to extend his hand in front of Jun Qianyan, "Then I''ll be troubling you."


    "Of course, of course."


    He wanted to subconsciously reach out his hand to look at her, but he felt a chill coming from behind him. When he glanced out of the corner of his eyes, it turned out that Di Mo Jiu was trembling with fear as he frantically hinted with his eyes. Di Mo Jiu quickly went to the side to grab a piece of cloth and put it on Jun Qiyan''s wrist, only then did he dare to pick up her hand.


    When she touched Jun Qiyan''s hand, it was as if an electric current had passed through her entire body, causing her body to suddenly stiffen. It was as if this electric current had flowed through her body as well, causing her to suddenly freeze for a moment. In the next second, both of them widened their eyes as they looked at each other in confusion and shock.


    This feeling is...


    Seeing the two of them both startled, Di Mo Jiu thought that ''Jun Qiyan''s'' injuries were a bit too severe, and that he had frightened her. But who would''ve thought that the next second would be ''Jun Qiyan''s'' screams?


    "You ¡­ "Who is it?"


    "Jun Qiyan" took the initiative to retract her hand. Her entire body was curled up into a ball as she looked at Jun Qiyan with a terrified gaze. As she shook her head, she yelled, "Who are you ¡­ Who the hell are you? "Why ¡­"


    Jun Qianyan was also frightened by this reaction, perhaps the previous contact wasn''t as direct as the one just now, so she didn''t feel anything at the start, but now, like the fake person, she also felt that something was wrong, and thus forgot her identity. She glared, and subconsciously shouted back, "You still have the nerve to ask who I am? I still haven''t asked you where this impostor came from! "


    "What do you mean?"


    Di Mo Jiu heard their conversation and his eyes widened in shock. He hurried over to Jun Qiyan and asked what the hell was the meaning of this, but before he could even finish his threatening words, he was interrupted once again by Jun Qiyan, "No, I''m not! I am Jun Qiyan! I am not an imposter! "


    "Jun Qiyan" seemed to have been shocked by the electric current generated by the touch, as she covered her ears and screamed out. When she saw Di Mo Jiu rushing towards her, she became even more flustered; she didn''t know where she got that much strength from as she pushed Jun Qiyan away with one hand, then rushed out of the door!


    "Xiao Qi!"


    Di Mo Jiu originally wanted to pull Jun Qiyan''s hand, but he was heavily hit by Jun Qiyan''s hand. Caught off guard, his entire body fell to the ground. When he regained his senses, Jun Qiyan also rushed out along with him.


    Without any hesitation, Di Mo Jiu also followed him out.


    "Stop right there!"


    After finally catching up to "Jun Qiyan," Jun Qiyan tightly gripped her wrist, and forced her to look at him in the eyes. She asked in an aggressive manner, "Do you really want to know why I said you are an imposter? Because I am the real Jun Qiyan! So ¡ª who the hell are you? What is your purpose in getting close to Ninth Master! "


    "NO!" I am the real thing! You are the fake one! "


    They both fell to the ground and even rolled on the ground once. When they rolled to the edge of the river, the two of them had already reached the point where they were holding onto each other''s neck. Both of them were forcing each other to look at the clear river water as they simultaneously shouted, "Let me see clearly, I am the real Jun Qiyan!"

 C107

    As soon as they finished speaking, the two people''s gazes once again fell upon the river''s surface that was as clear as a mirror. They couldn''t help but cry out in alarm, "How could this be?"


    In the reflection on the surface of the river, there were two people clutching each other''s necks. They all had the same face.


    However, compared to the pleasant surprise in Jun Qiyan''s voice, the expression "Jun Qianyan" was somewhat more complicated. Other than surprise, there was also puzzlement and some fear.


    "Who the hell are you?"


    Jun Qiyan panicked a little as she took the initiative to push Jun Qianyan down to the ground. She glared and asked, "What is your purpose in approaching Mo Jiu while disguising yourself as me?"


    "I should be the one asking you that, right?"


    One second he had the face of a demon, and the next he had changed back to his true appearance. However, Jun Qianyan still did not dare to be careless as she stared at "Jun Qianyan" and coldly asked, "What happened?"


    "I know, you''re only the me created by an illusion, not the real me ¡­ I didn''t mean to hurt you. I just wanted to know, what do you want to do with Ninth Master? "


    "I would actually like to know, what is the purpose of your intrusion?" Jun Qiyan was not intimidated by Jun Qianyan''s words at all. Instead, he gritted his teeth and glared fiercely at her.


    "Mo Jiu and I are living in seclusion. I saved you out of kindness, but not only were you not grateful, you even asked me what I wanted to do! I would like to know your intentions! "


    "Xiao Qi!"


    "Jun Qiyan!" As soon as he finished his sentence, Di Mo Jiu also caught up to him. However, when he saw two identical looking people standing by the river looking at each other, he couldn''t help but be startled.


    Weren''t they just a "beggar" and "Jun Qianyan"?


    How did it become two "Jun Feiyan" in such a short time?


    It was as if a mirror had been placed in the middle of the hall. The two people before him were exactly the same.


    "Mo Jiu!" Jun Qiyan was the first to speak. He walked over and held Di Mo Jiu''s hand, pointed at Jun Qianyan and said, "She is fake! She just changed into my appearance. This person has ill intentions, hurry up and kill her! "


    Hearing the words "Jun Qiyan", Di Mo Jiu subconsciously drew his sword, preparing to stab towards Jun Qianyan, but his hand stopped in the blink of an eye.


    "Something''s wrong ¡­"


    Di Mo Jiu Miller narrowed his eyes, sizing up Jun Qiyan, who was standing a few steps away from him. He then lowered his head to look at ''Jun Qiyan'' who was holding onto his arm. His brows knitted, and he immediately pushed away this'' Jun Qianyan '', asking in a stern voice, "Who are you?"


    "Mo Jiu ¡­" I am Xiao Qi, I am Jun Qiyan! "


    Jun Qiyan was stupefied, as he obviously did not believe that Di Mo Jiu would actually doubt his identity. He hurriedly explained, "She''s the fake one! "She''s the beggar that I saved with my good intentions, but somehow, she changed into my appearance. She wants to break us apart, so hurry up and kill her!"


    If this was in the past, Di Mo Jiu would have already pulled out his sword and killed that person before Jun Qianyan could even open her mouth. But now, he hesitated.


    "No, you''re not." Di Mo Jiu stared at "Jun Qiyan" for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Xiao Qi is kind and never allows me to kill people, but just now you ¡­"


    "Ninth Master."


    Hearing that Di Mo Jiu was also starting to suspect the identity of "Jun Qianyan," Jun Qianyan was greatly relieved and quickly said, "Ninth Elder, actually, I am the real Jun Qianyan. "I''ve told you from the start that this is an illusion, and none of this is real ¡­"


    "Shut up!"


    Before Jun Qiyan could finish his words, Di Mo Jiu''s face sank. He waved his sword, and a gust of sword wind swept towards Jun Qianyan, cutting off a few strands of his black hair.


    "I suspected her, but I didn''t say you were real."


    Di Mo Jiu frowned as he stared at the stunned Jun Qianyan. He gripped the sword in his hand tightly and took a step away from Jun Qianyan and Jun Qianyan as he said, "You two ¡­ Who was it? Where exactly is Xiao Qi? "


    "I am Jun Qiyan!"


    Jun Qiyan and "Jun Qianyan" shouted in unison. As soon as they finished speaking, they glared at each other again. This scene was very similar to the scene of the real and fake Sun Wukong arguing in front of Lord Tathagata.


    "Mo Jiu, believe me, I am the real Jun Qianyan!" Jun Qiyan bitterly looked at Di Mo Jiu, trying to call back his gentleness, "Look at me, I really am Xiao Qi!"


    "Ninth Master." Compared to ''Jun Qiyan,'' Jun Qianyan did not have much expression on her face. Now that she knew that debating was not a good idea, she took a deep breath and asked, "Ninth Master, do you still remember Natasha Academy?"


    Di Mo Jiu''s body suddenly froze.


    Very good!


    It hit the nail on the head!


    Seeing Di Mo Jiu''s frozen expression, Jun Qiyan knew that she had stabbed him in the right place. After glancing at the confused "Jun Qiyan", she continued, "When you''re awake, let''s go take a look at Feng Chenlang and Ye Changsheng. They''ve been missing us for so long already, they''ve probably missed us too."


    "Xiao Qi ¡­"


    Di Mo Jiu''s eyes suddenly lit up. He opened his trembling lips and said slowly, "You ¡­" Remember everything? "


    "If I said I hadn''t forgotten, would you believe me?"


    Jun Qiyan looked straight at Di Mo Jiu as he said this word by word.


    Since "Jun Qiyan" couldn''t give him a sense of security and he wasn''t willing to wake up, she could give it to him!


    She didn''t believe that she couldn''t beat that fake little demoness!


    "Mo Jiu ¡­" "Why are you ¡­"


    Di Mo Jiu''s abnormal behavior caused ''Jun Qiyan'' to panic a little. His eyes were filled with disbelief and injury.


    She couldn''t understand how Jun Qiyan could completely subdue Di Mo Jiu with just a few words.


    "Di Mo Jiu, how can you abandon me like this!"


    Seeing Di Mo Jiu slowly walk towards Jun Qianyan, Jun Qianyan collapsed and shouted, "Di Mo Jiu, I''ve treated you sincerely, how can you ¡­ abandon me and give your sincerity to another woman?"


    Jun Qiyan couldn''t help but frown when she heard Jun Qiyan''s ear-piercing voice. However, when she looked again, she could see that "Jun Qiyan" was still her own appearance. It was as if she had become a completely different woman.


    However, her face was a bit better than Jun Qiyan''s. Moreover, her face had a pitiful look on it. Anyone who saw her face would be tempted.


    "Who are you?"


    Seeing the change in Jun Qiyan''s expression, Jun Qiyan frowned. She felt a bit of unease in her heart, and when she saw that Jun Qianyan was holding something bright in her hand, she immediately became alert, and asked in a stern voice, "Who exactly are you? What do you want? "


    Hearing Jun Qianyan''s words, Di Mo Jiu also turned his head to look at Jun Qianyan. He was also quickly stunned, and his tone was filled with disbelief, "Ran? Why are you here? "

 C108

    Ran?


    Jun Qiyan frowned, confirming that she did not recognize this "Ran Ran". He then looked at Di Mo Jiu in puzzlement.


    But no matter who that person was, from the angle that Jun Qiyan was standing, she could determine that the person was most likely holding a dagger.


    "Mo Jiu ¡­" "Why don''t you believe me?"


    Ran Ran looked pitifully at Di Mo Jiu, her bean sized tears fell as soon as she said them. Looking at Di Mo Jiu, she couldn''t help but let go of Jun Qianyan''s hand and walked towards Ran.


    "Ninth Lord, don''t go!"


    Jun Qiyan saw a trace of hatred flash past Ran''s eyes and thought, "Not good, let''s hurry up and grab Di Mo Jiu''s hand."


    Di Mo Jiu looked at Jun Qiyan in confusion, but he did not break away.


    "Damn it!"


    After Jun Qiyan had seen through his trick, Ran Ran''s face suddenly changed. She took advantage of the short distance between her and Di Mo Jiu to pull out the dagger hidden behind her, and directly thrust it towards Di Mo Jiu!


    "Danger!"


    Jun Qiyan was also frightened. She subconsciously threw out a palm, wanting to send the woman flying. However, after doing so, she discovered that she was no longer able to use any magic in this illusion.


    "How could this be?"


    Jun Qiyan''s facial expression changed as she quickly sidestepped to dodge the first strike. However, as if she was used to close range attacks that didn''t require any magic, she quickly slashed out a second time.


    Dang ¡ª


    The sound of swords clashing against daggers drifted into her ears. Jun Feiyan turned around to see that it was Di Mo Jiu using his sword to block the blade for her.


    "Ninth Master!"


    Jun Qiyan exclaimed in surprise, but she was immediately stunned ¨C Ran Ran was still that pretty face! She had changed back to her normal appearance after Jun Qianyan had dodged the first cut!


    This time, even Di Mo Jiu was stunned.


    "Holy sh * t!" What exactly is going on!? "


    Jun Qiyan was stunned and couldn''t help but curse.


    Wasn''t this illusion too fast?


    Ran Ran seemed to have realized something. The moment she saw Di Mo Jiu lost in thought, she seized the opportunity. With a flick of her wrist, she directly thrust the dagger into Di Mo Jiu''s shoulder.


    The sound of the dagger slicing through his clothes and flesh stunned Jun Qiyan. She began to regret that she had cursed at him just now. Otherwise, how could she have caused Di Mo Jiu to fall into a trance?


    "Who do you think you are? How dare you hurt him!"


    Jun Qiyan''s small universe instantly erupted as she once again struck out with her palm. It was just that this time, her spell was also used!


    Ah!


    Jun Qiyan''s palm was like a flaming arrow, striking Ran and igniting her clothes.


    "Ninth Master, how are you?"


    Jun Qiyan didn''t have the time to care about how Ran Ling howled. She quickly turned her head to look at Di Mo Jiu''s injuries, only to see him lying on the ground with a face full of pain. His eyes were full of hurt, and there was even a hint of indifference in them.


    "Ninth Master?"


    Jun Qiyan didn''t know what to do. She thought it was Di Mo Jiu who was severely injured, so she quickly took off her clothes to help him stop the bleeding. However, he stopped her ¡­


    "Xiao Qi, if that person was you, would you have done the same?"


    Di Mo Jiu forcefully pressed Jun Qiyan''s hand, his pitch-black eyes looking straight into hers.


    "You mean... You betrayed me? "


    Jun Qiyan couldn''t figure it out as he asked in a probing tone.


    Di Mo Jiu paused for a moment, then gently nodded.


    "First of all, I''m not her."


    A hint of understanding suddenly flashed through Jun Qianyan''s heart, and his expression turned pale as he solemnly said, "Second, don''t you know what my character is? How could I... To hurt my friend because of this? "


    Di Mo Jiu''s pupils constricted for a moment, then the haze disappeared and the light appeared again.


    However, Jun Qiyan''s hanging heart was still not at ease.


    Could it be that Di Mo Jiu''s obsession was not that the people he cared about didn''t give him a sense of security, but rather that the people he cared about betrayed him and hurt him?


    "Ninth Master, that person ¡­" Who''s yours? "


    Jun Qiyan asked as soon as he''d thought everything through.


    However, all that answered her was the silence of Di Mo Jiu.


    The fire wiped out his clothes and gradually burned the grass along the river bank. It was a trend that the grass was getting hotter and hotter.


    "Answer me!"


    Seeing that the fire was getting bigger, Jun Qiyan panicked. She pulled Di Mo Jiu closer to the river bank, growling, "Who is she to you?"


    Di Mo Jiu still did not answer Jun Qianyan, and even shook off his hand.


    "Ninth Master!"


    Jun Qiyan blankly stared at Di Mo Jiu as he stood up from the ground. After staring at him for a moment, he stretched out his hand and pushed her into the river.


    "No ¡­" "No!"


    Jun Qianyan wanted to pull Di Mo Jiu away from the sea of flames with her, but she couldn''t do anything about it. She couldn''t even touch his clothes. She could only watch as his straight back was illuminated by the fire, and the fire stung her eyes painfully.


    Jun Qiyan opened his eyes. The sea of fire that surrounded him was no longer the same sea of fire that he had seen before. He knew that he had just walked out of the secret realm.


    She stared blankly ahead for a moment. Everything that had happened in the past few days had been like a dream.


    Thinking about the "Jun Qiyan" in the secret realm, Jun Qiyan felt a complex feeling in her heart.


    She could feel that this "Jun Qiyan" wasn''t her. It was only an illusion fused with her appearance. She had a completely different personality from her own.


    As Jun Qiyan thought of this, her heart began to ache for some reason. She forced herself to forget everything that had happened in the secret realm and pretended that nothing had happened.


    Jun Qiyan got up. She dusted off the dust on her body and looked around, only to find that there was no one around her. Di Mo Jiu was nowhere to be seen.


    Jun Qiyan couldn''t help but furrow his brows as he looked around for Di Mo Jiu.


    At the corner, Jun Qiyan suddenly felt a sharp pain in her nose, and accidentally hit a wall of flesh.


    Jun Qiyan rubbed her bright red nose as she looked up at the person before her.


    That extremely familiar face appeared in front of her without any warning.


    Just a moment ago, Jun Qiyan was still worried about not being able to find Di Mo Jiu, but now that they had found him, she was at a loss of what to do.


    "Ugh ¡­"


    Jun Qiyan did not dare to look Di Mo Jiu directly in the eyes, as her gaze started to wander uncontrollably.


    An invisible sense of awkwardness filled the air.


    Di Mo Jiu obviously didn''t want to talk about what happened in the secret realm. He deliberately broke the silence, changed the topic and said, "I plan to go find Saint Silkworm, shall we go together?"


    Jun Qiyan hurriedly walked down the stairs. "Sure, let''s go together."


    There was nothing to say along the way.


    The two of them arrived at the room of Saint Silkworm. They saw a woman in gorgeous clothes sitting beside Saint Silkworm.


    "It''s you!" A sharp sound was not the sound of the matter.


    Jun Qiyan frowned as he looked in the direction of the voice.


    Why did this person look so familiar? She seemed to have seen him somewhere before.

 C109

    "How could a beggar like you be qualified to be here? I know, you must have snuck in here. Otherwise, don''t blame me for being impolite! "


    The man arrogantly raised his head and said with a disdainful look on his face.


    It was only when Jun Qiyan heard this that he finally recognized the other. Normally, Jun Qiyan would be too lazy to lower herself to the same level as such an arrogant and despotic young miss.


    However, it was obvious that this woman had come at the wrong time. Jun Qianyan had always been unhappy about the matters in her heart, and this woman had rushed to her doom.


    Just as Jun Qiyan was about to mock him, Saint Silkworm Yuan Zun interrupted him.


    "Rest in peace!" Saint Silkworm said with an unfriendly expression, "I''ve already said this many times, you should retract your temper, young miss!"


    The Saint Silkworm had a stern expression on his face. It was obvious that he was dissatisfied with what Li Shu Ran had said just now.


    "Both of them are my guests. If you say that Mu Jiu is a beggar, then wouldn''t that mean that I''m not even equal to a beggar?" Saint Silkworm coldly snorted in displeasure.


    Seeing that Saint Silkworm was truly angry, Li Shu Ran was clearly flustered. She hastily explained, "I ¡­ I didn''t mean that ¡­"


    The Saint Silkworm sighed and apologetically said to Jun Qiyan, "It''s a relief that he doesn''t know anything. Don''t take the words just now to heart."


    Since Senior Saint Silkworm had already said this, Jun Qiyan naturally could not say anything else.


    "Then, what are your thoughts on that matter?" Li Shu Ran asked cautiously, a trace of caution in his eyes.


    When he said that, a trace of helplessness appeared in the depths of Saint Silkworm''s eyes. "Let me think about it. You can go to a nearby village and find a place to stay for the time being."


    Saint Silkworm slightly perfunctorily replied.


    Li Shu Ran bit her lips and agreed.


    After Li Shu Ran left, Saint Silkworm Master Ye rubbed between his eyebrows as if he was extremely tired.


    Jun Qiyan raised his eyebrows as he noticed the envelope in the Saint Silkworm''s hand.


    "What''s going on?" Jun Qiyan curiously asked.


    Saint Silkworm finally spoke after a long while, "Li Shu Ran''s father was a benefactor to me in the past, and now Li Shu Ran wants to acknowledge me as his master."


    Jun Qiyan wore a look of understanding.


    If Li Shu Ran became a disciple of Saint Silkworm Origin Sentinel, this place would no longer be peaceful.


    Moreover, a young lady like this was obviously someone who was spoiled by her family, so how could she be willing to train properly?


    "Alright, let''s not talk about this anymore." Saint Silkworm waved his hand and continued, "How is it going over there?"


    As the matter of the secret realm was brought up, the smile on Jun Qiyan''s face lightened. Just what kind of intelligent person was Saint Silkworm? One look at Jun Qianyan''s appearance was enough to tell that there was something fishy going on.


    Seeing that Jun Qianyan was unwilling to bring it up, the Saint Silkworm Elemental Sovereign said nothing more.


    "Mo Jiu, how is your health?"


    Di Mo Jiu acted as if he was not affected by the secret realm''s incident as he calmly replied, "Nothing serious already, I''m sorry to trouble Saint Silkworm Master Yuan to worry about that."


    Saint Silkworm nodded. "The two of you should go back and rest first. The secret realm also uses up a lot of spiritual energy."


    Seeing that the other party had already sent out the order to leave, Jun Qianyan did not keep them any longer and returned to the small storage room with Di Mo and Di Jiu.


    The items in the storage room had already been moved away by Saint Silkworm and he also added a bed. This way, Di Mo Jiu wouldn''t have an excuse to share the bed with Jun Qiyan.


    The following days were much calmer. Jun Qiyan and Di Mo Jiu seemed as if they had said something beforehand, and didn''t pay any attention to each other.


    To be more accurate, the chances of the two meeting had become very small.


    In order to avoid Di Mo Jiu, Jun Qiyan went to the back of the mountain every day at dawn to accompany the magical beasts.


    He would return in the evening with a body full of wounds.


    Di Mo Jiu also didn''t know what he was busy with recently, it could be considered as him not coming back for the rest of the night.


    He would only return to the chore house in the middle of the night. Sometimes, Jun Qiyan would fall into a daze in the middle of the night, and the bed beside him was still empty.


    However, Jun Qiyan was glad to have nothing to do, and did not know how to face Di Mo Jiu.


    The sun rose along a green line in the horizon, and the golden light scattered along the lush forest.


    Jun Qiyan had been called out by the Saint Silkworm. He tidied himself up and prepared to walk into the forest with the morning dew.


    As soon as they stepped out of the door, they met Li Shu Ran, who had changed into casual clothes. He stood up straight and looked at them.


    "I want to go too!"


    She spoke without a doubt and walked forward without waiting for Senior Yuan and Jun Qianyan to speak.


    The Supreme Yuan frowned and used a flash to stand in front of her. He said with a slightly heavy tone, "The forest is dangerous. If you go in, you will be injured."


    These words sounded like he was very concerned. However, Jun Qianyan only needed a glance to know that Saint Silkworm Yuan Zun was only afraid that Li Shu Ran would be injured and come looking for trouble.


    She shrugged her shoulders. She didn''t want to talk to him about this.


    While they were talking, Di Mo Jiu walked out and stood beside Jun Qiyan and the others. He lightly said, "Today, I am going to bring Qiqi. Yuan Zun will protect Miss Li first. "


    When Li Shu Ran heard this, although he was glad that he could follow them, his dissatisfaction with Jun Qiyan had reached its peak.


    What right did such a good-looking man have to protect Jun Qiyan and not her?


    She gritted her teeth and secretly tightened her grip on the sword in her hand.


    Even though Saint Silkworm still had a trace of worry, he agreed after thinking for a while.


    After all, if Li Shu Ran was forced to stay, who knows what this pampered young miss would do, it would be better to bring her along.


    "Then, Miss Li, please follow behind me. Don''t wander around." Senior Saint Silkworm warned her repeatedly before shifting his gaze back to Jun Qiyan. He said slightly sternly, "I killed three magical beasts today and obtained their cores."


    Jun Qiyan nodded without even looking at her.


    The four of them advanced forward a bit and entered into a thick fog. Di Mo Jiu subconsciously wanted to grab onto Jun Qiyan''s hand, but after hearing her cry out, he felt that his hands and feet had been bound.


    "I''m so scared. Can you not push me away?" Li Shu Ran desperately leaned over. That soft voice made people''s heart ache.


    Di Mo Jiu only had Jun Qiyan in his heart, so he didn''t listen to her. He didn''t even think about it as he pushed her away, turning his head to look for her.


    Jun Qiyan stood alone in the fog, frowning as he faintly sensed the aura of a magical beast.


    "Woosh ~ ~ ~"


    Suddenly, there was a piercing sound and a figure quickly flashed in front of him.


    Her heart tightened. She already knew where this fog came from.


    He quickly turned around and unsheathed his sword. A snow-white shadow flashed through the fog. The sword''s edge descended and directly collided with the hard object. With a heavy "plop!" sound, the blade collided with the hard object.


    He didn''t expect that the magical beast skin would be so thick.


    She narrowed her eyes and drew back her sword.


    She couldn''t clearly see through the fog, so she could only rely on her hearing. Although the wind in the forest wasn''t that strong, it was enough to confuse the crowd.

 C110

    "Xiao Qi!"


    Di Mo Jiu hadn''t been able to find Jun Qianyan for a long time. He was very anxious, but he knew that the fog had suddenly appeared. There must be some sort of magic inside, so he didn''t dare to shout too loudly.


    However, Li Shu Ran who was behind Di Mo Jiu didn''t care about all that. She was only thinking about how to make Di Mo Jiu pay attention to her, so she ignored the situation, squinted her eyes, and shouted with a loud voice, "Qi Qi! Where exactly are you, Qi Qi? "


    The sudden cry completely covered the sound of the movement of the monsters in the forest. Jun Qiyan was obviously also shocked by the cry and lost her consciousness for a moment, giving the monsters hidden in the shadows a chance to attack.


    In that split-second when the wind blew, Jun Qiyan felt that her arm had turned cold, as if a warm liquid had fallen on her arm.


    Jun Qiyan''s heart sank as he silently cursed. He bore this grudge in mind and quickly focused his attention on defending against the next attack of the monster.


    "Xiao Qi, is that you?"


    Di Mo Jiu walked along the small path until he finally found Jun Qianyan. His gaze was quickly attracted by her bloodied arm, and his heart tightened as his expression suddenly became heavy by half.


    Di Mo Jiu gritted his teeth and waved his hand towards the dark forest. Suddenly, the roars of beasts could be heard. However, the voice that sounded even louder was from behind him, "Oh my god!"


    Li Shu Ran looked at the angry Di Mo Jiu and suddenly felt a little scared. However, he also hated the fact that this magical beast didn''t directly take Jun Qianyan''s life.


    "Qi Qi, are you alright?" Li Shu Ran composed herself and walked over. She pretended to be concerned about Jun Qianyan, before exclaiming, "Your hand ¡­"


    While speaking, Li Shu Ran was about to reach out her hand to touch Jun Qianyan, but was pushed away by Di Mo Jiu. Her strength was so great that she had to take two steps back, her eyes wide with shock.


    Li Shu Ran''s gaze shifted to Jun Qianyan, who was still in Di Mo Jiu''s embrace. He looked as if he wanted to devour Jun Qianyan. His eyes flickered with a cold and fierce light.


    Jun Qiyan knitted her eyebrows as she glanced at Li Shu Ran''s reaction, then looked at Di Mo Jiu and complained in a low voice, "Good! "The moment they came they took the heads of my monsters!"


    Di Mo Jiu''s eyes darkened, he didn''t show any sign of remorse. Instead, he sternly started to teach Jun Qiyan a lesson, "I''m afraid that your head won''t be safe even before you take its blood."


    Jun Qianyan secretly ''tsked'' as he pursed his lips. There was no response. His gaze shifted to his bleeding arm ¡ª ¡ª


    Now that his hand was injured, it was naturally not good to continue hunting for magical beasts. Furthermore, he would have to rest for a few days before he could recover ¡­


    And this was all thanks to that young miss Li''s order!


    Jun Qiyan thought to herself as she gritted her teeth, casting a glance at Li Shu Ran. When she saw the same resentment in his eyes, she remembered this grudge without the slightest hesitation.


    The Saint Silkworm also arrived quickly. He glanced at the shocked Li Shu Ran, and his gaze soon landed on Jun Qiyan''s injured arm. He frowned slightly, and asked in a low voice, "Qi Qi, are you alright?"


    "No ¡­"


    "It would be weird if he was fine!"


    When two voices simultaneously rang out, Jun Qiyan glared at Li Shu Ran, who was forcefully interrupting the conversation without the least bit of self-awareness. The latter was exaggeratedly replying to Saint Silkworm Yuan Zun''s words, "Look at her injured hand, she definitely needs to go back and rest for a few days!"


    As long as Jun Qiyan was no longer present, would she still worry about not having the opportunity to be alone with Di Mo Jiu?


    Jun Qianyan seemed to have guessed Li Shu Ran''s goal, aside from the fact that Di Mo Jiu was helping him recuperate for a few days in order to let her beat up a magical beast and raise his cultivation level, it made him very unhappy. His gaze immediately became sharp, and he very impolitely tore off her stage, "How are your injuries? I know that I won''t force you, so I won''t trouble Miss Li to worry about them.


    "What do you mean by that!"


    Li Shu Ran''s complexion immediately became pale upon hearing Jun Qianyan''s words. He stuck his waist and was about to scold back, but was interrupted by the Saint Silkworm Master''s cough.


    Li Shu Ran was extremely unhappy in her heart. However, seeing that even the Saint Silkworm Master had spoken, she naturally did not dare to say anything. She could only smile darkly and reluctantly followed them back.


    Returning to the small hut, Saint Silkworm took the medicine for Jun Qiyan and examined her wounds. When both Li Shu Ran and Di Mo Jiu weren''t there, he leisurely asked, "Where did this wound come from?"


    Jun Qiyan glanced at his hand that was bandaged like a dumpling, and helplessly made a big fuss out of it. He smiled and said, "It''s just that I was hurt by a demon. It''ll be fine after bandaging it. No need to worry, Venerable One."


    The Saint Silkworm stopped in his tracks and looked solemnly at Jun Qiyan.


    "Am I wrong?"


    After being looked at by the Saint Silkworm, Jun Qianyan felt a little guilty. He frowned and asked, "Does the Saint Silkworm have a different opinion on this matter?"


    "Do you really think I don''t know your strength?"


    Saint Silkworm glanced at Jun Qianyan and lightly said, "Although that demon can confuse the fog, its level isn''t high. It can easily defeat even a beginner."


    When Jun Qianyan heard these words, her brows furrowed even more. However, she didn''t want to expose Li Shu Ran''s matter. She could only twitch her mouth and quibble, "Senior Yuan is too kind. It''s all my fault for not being able to learn properly. I was too impulsive and neglected ¡­"


    "Still not telling the truth?"


    Before she could finish her sentence, Saint Silkworm interrupted her, "Who interfered with you?"


    Jun Qiyan was startled, and a look of surprise flashed across her eyes.


    The older the better. This little injury could not even be hidden from the old Saint Silkworm Master.


    Seeing that Jun Qianyan had remained silent, Saint Silkworm couldn''t say anything more. He simply tapped the table with his finger and sighed, "I''m your master. If you suffer any grievances, just say so. Don''t hold it in."


    Jun Qiyan suddenly raised her head, the surprise in her eyes had increased a bit, but more than that, she was touched.


    "If you''re not willing to say it, I naturally won''t force you, but ¡­"


    Senior Saint Silkworm slowly spoke as he suddenly stood up and looked at Jun Qianyan with a serious expression. He suppressed his voice and continued, "You must remember that Master is on your side. If you need help, just say so."


    Seeing that the Saint Silkworm was about to leave, she did not care about the pain in her hand as his body fell to the ground. He quickly and solemnly said, "Disciple thanks Master!"

 C111

    Perhaps it was because Saint Silkworm did not pay any attention to Li Shu Ran, but after staying for a few days, Li Shu Ran could no longer control his temper. In the name of Master and disciple, he would come to Saint Silkworm''s place every few days, trying his best to create a sense of existence.


    Perhaps it was because the Saint Silkworm Master had been annoyed to death by Li Shu Ran and went to hide in his room a few days later. But, Li Shu Ran didn''t see the Saint Silkworm Master and jumped into the air, feeling upset. Luckily, he saw Jun Qiyan, so he rolled his eyes and walked up to her with nine faces full of mockery and shouted, "Yo, aren''t you a little beggar? Where are you going to get food? "


    Li Shu Ran insulted and insulted her with every word. Even so, Jun Qianyan didn''t plan to pay any attention to Li Shu Ran. She simply treated her as air and didn''t reply. She didn''t even give her a single glance as she prepared to leave.


    Ever since Li Shu Ran was born, he had always been an existence that attracted the attention of the stars and the moon. He spent every day amidst the flattery, so how could he be ignored by others?


    Since coming to this place, he had been ignored thrice!


    Furthermore, the person who disregarded her the most was the beggar that she looked down the most!


    The more Li Shu Ran thought about it, the angrier he became. The young miss immediately tossed aside what the Saint Silkworm Master had said previously and pointed at Jun Qianyan''s nose as she scolded, "Who the hell do you think you are to dare to talk back to me!? Didn''t you hear me call you? "


    Jun Qiyan stopped in her tracks, not because of Li Shu Ran but because Di Mo Jiu was passing by her without even giving her a glance.


    But none of this was the most important thing...


    The most important thing was that Di Mo Jiu did not disguise himself today! The man''s angry face was exposed in the air.


    Behind Jun Qianyan, Li Shu Ran was also stunned. Although she had seen Di Mo Jiu before, he hadn''t changed his appearance. His face was much better than before, which made Li Shu Ran lost in thought.


    This person was too good-looking!


    Li Shu Ran finally came back to his senses with great difficulty. With a swish, he appeared in front of Di Mo Jiu, his eyes were staring at him with the light shining in his eyes.


    She originally wanted to greet this beautiful man, but before she could say anything, Di Mo Jiu had already ignored her and walked past her.


    "Puchi!"


    Jun Qiyan couldn''t hold back her laughter. However, she was speechless because Li Shu Ran was so immersed in Di Mo Jiu''s beauty that he had forgotten to bother about her.


    When Li Shu Ran saw Di Mo Jiu ignoring her, the young miss immediately became angry. However, she then saw Di Mo Jiu''s figure extinguishing in the blink of an eye. Immediately, she started the chatterbox mode.


    "What''s your name?"


    "In the future, I will become a personal disciple of Saint Silkworm. From the looks of it, you must be here to study ¡­"


    "How about this, I don''t mind your ordinary background. As long as you can be my son-in-law, in the future, you''ll have to obey me a hundred times ¡­"


    Li Shu Ran spoke all by himself and didn''t mind that no one cared about him. He worked even harder than he did when he was in front of Saint Silkworm, hoping that Di Mo Jiu would take a look at her.


    Di Mo Jiu was dressed very simply today, only a jade pendant was hung at his waist, he looked a little shabby, which made Li Shu Ran naturally think that Di Mo Jiu was just an ordinary person, and thus he had already had the thought of a son-in-law.


    After all, she was a young miss with a lot of money. Being able to take a fancy to this ordinary "normal person" was already a huge reward for her. So, she never thought about whether Di Mo Jiu could do it or not.


    When Jun Qiyan heard Li Shu Ran''s words, he forced himself to smile. He didn''t need to raise his head to know that the Ninth Master''s expression must be as black as the bottom of a pot.


    "So noisy."


    Di Mo Jiu finally couldn''t take it anymore, his voice was as cold as an icy cave, and his face was darker than ink.


    Di Mo Jiu purposely distanced himself from Li Shu Ran as if he was begging for help, and moved towards Jun Qiyan''s direction.


    When Li Shu Ran saw that Di Mo Jiu was willing to go aside with a beggar and stay away from him, he was instantly enraged. He angrily asked, "Hey, do you hate me that much? What in the world did I dissatisfied you about? "


    Di Mo Jiu and Jun Qiyan had a tacit understanding after listening to Li Shu Ran''s words. Both of them did not have a single trace of emotion on their faces as they walked towards Li Shu Ran at the same pace.


    After all, for someone like him, who risked his life to gain a sense of existence, the best way to deal with this situation was to just ignore it.


    "You two!"


    Li Shu Ran looked at Di Mo Jiu''s beautiful face and gnashed her teeth, secretly warning herself to be calm. Although she really wanted to vent her anger on this "beggar", but since Di Mo Jiu was also around, she could not do anything and could only stomp her feet in anger.


    Li Shu Ran wanted to give up just like that, but when he caught sight of the smile on Jun Qi Yun''s face, the word "calm" was immediately tossed to the back of his mind as he shouted, "You! You... You little beggar, do you have the qualifications to look down on me? It really pisses me off! "No, I must teach you a lesson today!"


    Li Shu Ran gritted his teeth as he yelled at Jun Qianyan in anger.


    However, Jun Qiyan only rolled his eyes and did not pay any attention to Li Shu Ran''s clamoring. In order to keep his ears a bit more tranquil, he directly used a magic technique and left Li Shu Ran far behind.


    "Saint Silkworm."


    Jun Qiyan and Di Mo Jiu waved their hands respectfully as they greeted Saint Silkworm.


    Saint Silkworm looked at Jun Yunrue with a benevolent smile. He also looked at Di Mo Jiu and nodded slightly. "All of you are here?"


    "Shu Ran was busy just now and delayed for a while. I believe she will be here soon."


    Jun Qiyan glanced behind her and realized that Li Shu Ran was not yet following her. She could only say a few good words on her behalf.


    Saint Silkworm nodded and smiled to Jun Qiyan, "You may sit down and wait." That child is both charming and willful, so it would be best for you all to take care of him. "


    "Mu Du understands. She definitely won''t make things difficult for the Supreme Yuan."


    The corner of Jun Qianyan''s mouth widened into a smile as he lightly replied. He found a more suitable seat for her and sat down.


    A moment later, Li Shu Ran staggered in. When he saw Jun Qianyan, he glared at her for a moment before respectfully greeting the Saint Silkworm.


    Seeing this, Jun Qianyan couldn''t help but chuckle softly. However, she did not speak any sarcastic words towards Li Shu Ran and continued to sit there quietly. She did not want to raise her eyes just in time to look at God Mo Jiu.

 C112

    Jun Qiyan only felt her entire body shudder as she hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to say a word.


    The Saint Silkworm Master glanced at the three of them before saying calmly, "She''s been resting for a few days too, so it''s about time for her hand to recover. It''s time for her to move, lest she forgets what she just learned."


    As soon as his voice fell, Jun Qianyan and the others stood up and replied in unison, "Yes."


    After bidding farewell to the Saint Silkworm, Jun Qiyan left the room. She felt a cold gaze coming from behind her, staring at her without any restraint, causing her to feel uncomfortable.


    Jun Qiyan frowned slightly, but didn''t turn around to look.


    He didn''t need to look to guess who that person was ¡ª in this place, other than Li Shu Ran, would there be another person who would have hostility towards him?


    Jun Qiyan silently sighed, then sneakily glanced in the direction of Di Mo Jiu and sighed. That pretty face of his was truly a double-edged sword. Although he looked pleased, he had still caused quite a bit of trouble.


    As she was thinking this, she unconsciously looked at him and immediately regretted it.


    As if noticing Jun Qianyan''s gaze, Di Mo had coincidentally turned his head around, looking back in confusion.


    Their gazes met for a split-second, and were quickly interrupted by Li Shu Ran who had suddenly barged into their line of sight.


    "Hey, can I team up with you to fight spirit beasts today?"


    Li Shu Ran completely ignored the existence of Jun Qianyan and naturally moved closer to Di Mo Jiu''s side. His sweet voice made people''s entire body go soft, and he even blinked his beautiful phoenix eyes in a delicate manner.


    But unfortunately, she had made a mistake.


    Di Mo Jiu acted like a fairy who had never lived in this world, directly ignoring Li Shu Ran''s words. He strode over to Jun Qiyan''s side and nonchalantly suggested, "I''ll go with you today."


    When Jun Qiyan heard this, she didn''t need to think to know that the young miss'' expression must be really ugly. Thus, she glanced out of the corner of her eye to verify the matter, and actually saw Li Shu Ran''s face which was even darker than the bottom of a pot. She couldn''t help but smile as she happily agreed to Di Mo Jiu''s invitation.


    "Alright!"


    Although Jun Qiyan wasn''t willing to team up with Di Mo Jiu to fight spirit beasts, it would be very difficult for him to fight against spirit beasts with him. Just like last time, before she could even avenge the wound on his arm, that demon beast had already been killed by Di Mo Jiu''s move.


    Therefore, the amount of room for Jun Qiyan''s improvement had greatly decreased. However, it was different now. Jun Qianyan was incredibly happy as she looked at Li Shu Ran''s defeated face and the extremely miserable expression on his face. She agreed without a second thought.


    "Hey!" You two! "


    Li Shu Ran was so angry that he stomped his feet when he saw Di Mo Jiu ignore him. He glared angrily at Jun Qi Yun as he said through gritted teeth, "This young miss has given you a lot of face. That''s why I invited you to come with me! What do you mean? Are you saying that you don''t place me in your eyes? "


    Originally, Jun Qiyan had thought that he was'' colluding ''with Di Mo Jiu to snub Li Shu Ran. However, he was still a bit uneasy. For a moment, he suspected that he was being too stingy.


    However, after hearing Li Shu Ran''s words, Jun Qianyan''s few unease disappeared ¨C after all, a young miss with a big temper like Li Shu Ran didn''t need to be considerate and friendly with her.


    "How could we dare to ignore you, Miss Li!"


    Jun Qianyan lightly glanced at Li Shu Ran, shrugged his shoulders and sighed, "I just don''t think my cultivation is high enough, so I wanted to fight spirit beasts with him to avoid dragging Miss Li down! After all, a person as outstanding as Miss Li would definitely not want to be reprimanded by Senior Yuan for not being able to hunt spirit beasts because of me, right? "


    On the surface, Jun Qianyan''s words sounded like he was praising Li Shu Ran, but in reality, he was mocking her for her arrogant actions. However, it caused Li Shu Ran to be speechless and angry at the same time.


    And most importantly, with Di Mo Jiu present, Li Shu Ran didn''t seem to have ruined his image because of Jun Qiyan''s'' beggar ''.


    Seeing Li Shu Ran''s angry face but not utter a word, Jun Qianyan couldn''t help but cry out in her heart. She exchanged a glance with Di Mo Jiu, then tossed Li Shu Ran to the back of her mind. The two of them walked side by side into the designated forest.


    As they gradually entered the forest, the miasma in the surroundings became thicker and thicker. If it were not for the talismans bestowed upon them by Saint Silkworm, it would have been difficult for them to even breathe.


    Jun Qiyan walked in the middle with a frown on his face, followed by Di Mo Jiu, and Li Shu Ran. The three of them slowly walked in a straight line.


    "Be careful, the miasma here is getting thicker. Maybe there are spirit beasts guarding nearby."


    Jun Qianyan looked around and reminded him in a low voice as he walked.


    However, Li Shu Ran didn''t take it to heart. He snorted disdainfully, "Do you even need to remind me of that?"


    Jun Qiyan rolled his eyes immediately.


    Di Mo Jiu''s face turned somewhat unhappy. He glanced at Jun Qianyan, and then said in a low voice, "It''s better if we split up and move out separately. If the three of us go together, the commotion would be a bit big."


    Jun Qianyan knew that Di Mo Jiu was hinting at Li Shu Ran''s movements, so he nodded his head. Right when he saw that Di Mo Jiu had turned a corner and walked to the other side of the forest, Jun Qianyan was also prepared to follow him, but she quickly took his hand, raised her chin and ordered, "Didn''t you say your cultivation level was not high enough? Then don''t give them any trouble! I''m in a good mood today, so I''ll reluctantly let you follow me! "


    Still trying to resist?


    In the end, who was the one who was more reluctant to go against the rules?


    Jun Qiyan''s eyes widened. She was speechless towards this arrogant young miss. Just as she was about to throw Li Shu Ran and give chase to God Mo Jiu, she discovered that Di Mo Jiu had already disappeared without a trace.


    What a failure!


    Jun Qianyan vexedly sighed as she stared at the smiling Li Shu Ran with hidden bitterness in her eyes. She secretly prayed that this young miss wouldn''t be like the last time, helping her fill up a hole in the middle of the room!


    He could only consciously pull out his sword and observe his surroundings while listening in every direction. Unfortunately, the disturbance in the forest was too great, even though Jun Qianyan had already concentrated her mind, she was unable to locate the position where the spirit beasts were squatting.


    A few more meters forward, Jun Qiyan could feel the frigid air around her become even colder. She unconsciously shrank back, and her steps became much lighter.

 C113

    However, Li Shu Ran was not afraid of the heavens or the earth. He was afraid that the spirit beasts would not know that there were people here. Not only did his footsteps not slow down, he even picked up the branches and leaves and stepped on them.


    "Are you done yet?"


    Jun Qiyan could not stand Li Shu Ran''s action of purposely disregarding the safety of his surroundings. With a frown, he turned around and shouted, "If you provoke a spirit beast later, you can do it yourself. Don''t drag me down with you!"


    "Humph!" If you''re afraid of death, don''t come! "


    Li Shu Ran disapproved. Holding onto the sword in his arms, he threw his head back and replied haughtily: "Fortunately, you''re in the same group as me. Otherwise, if you implicate others, I wouldn''t even know what to do!"


    How could Jun Qiyan not understand that Li Shu Ran''s "someone else" was referring to Di Mo Jiu? He then secretly cursed Di Mo Jiu for being shameless and snorted, "I don''t even know who''s implicating who!"


    Although Li Shu Ran was extremely arrogant, but after entering deep into the forest, she started to panic a little.


    After all, when they were at home in the past, the elders had not been willing to let her suffer such hardships in order to cultivate. Now that both Di Mo Jiu and Saint Silkworm origin realm elder were gone, only she and Jun Qianyan were together.


    "Hey!" Do you know the way or not? "


    Li Shu Ran followed closely behind Jun Qiyan, carefully observing the situation around them. He pretended to be calm as he asked, "This way, you won''t end up short! "Don''t walk around for half a day. You can''t find a single spirit beast."


    "Why are you talking so much!"


    Jun Qiyan was annoyed to the core; he was not willing to be in the same group as Li Shu Ran in the first place. However, she dragged him along with her, and he was already growing impatient.


    "Who cares if you want to leave or not! If you don''t want to, then go by yourself! "


    "One for each group!"


    When Li Shu Ran heard this, his face flushed red.


    Even though she was afraid that she would hunt spirit beasts by herself, it was obvious that Jun Qianyan looked down on her for saying such words. Therefore, she didn''t want to waste her time and dignity. She gritted her teeth and agreed, but didn''t forget to ridicule him, "You''re the one who said these words! If something happens later, don''t blame me for not reminding you, you asked for it! "


    After Li Shu Ran finished speaking, he angrily turned around and left.


    Jun Qiyan stood on the spot, staring fixedly at Li Shu Ran''s figure disappearing into the forest. Only then did she heave a huge sigh of relief.


    Very good, it was finally quiet.


    And a time bomb was missing.


    How comfortable!


    Jun Qiyan''s expression had also eased quite a bit as the corner of his mouth raised slightly. Just as he was about to continue walking forward, he suddenly heard the earth-shaking roar of a spirit beast from afar.


    Hearing this tragic and tragic roar, Jun Qianyan didn''t even need to think to know that Di Mo Jiu had already successfully hunted down a spirit beast, and had even obtained a crystal core.


    Jun Qiyan silently encouraged himself. Perhaps it was because the warning sound issued by the spirit beast before it died had alarmed his companions, but soon enough, Jun Qianyan discovered that there was something stupid/stupid/wanting/moving in the miasma not too far away.


    Very good! He finally managed to get the spirit beast out!


    A look of understanding flashed across Jun Qiyan''s eyes, and her lips curved up in a smile.


    As he looked around, Jun Qiyan soon saw a flash of light in a corner of the jungle, like the reflection of a wild beast in the darkness.


    Jun Qiyan didn''t think much about it and immediately quickened her pace, heading straight for the weak light.


    Li Shu Ran, who had been sneakily following Jun Qiyan all this time, also noticed that something was amiss. After noticing Jun Qianyan''s actions, Li Shu Ran gave chase without any hesitation.


    Since Di Mo Jiu had already taken down the first spiritual beast, then the second spiritual beast must belong to her, Li Shu Ran, no matter what!


    If this "beggar" Jun Qiyan stole it, it would mean that she was inferior to a beggar!


    How could she accept such humiliation!


    Therefore, he absolutely couldn''t allow Jun Qiyan to take the spotlight this time!


    Jun Qianyan, who was walking at the very front, didn''t notice that a figure was rapidly approaching him from behind. Only Li Shu Ran, who was walking at the back, knew that the distance between her and Jun Qianyan was constantly shrinking.


    Two agile figures shuttled back and forth between the tree trunks, forming a small gust of wind that blew away the dark green leaves.


    Soon, the distance between Jun Qiyan and Li Shu Ran was reduced to nothing.


    Jun Qianyan seemed to have also heard the commotion coming from nearby. She glanced around and could not help but reveal a surprised expression ¨C when did Li Shu Ran come over?


    However, Li Shu Ran didn''t give Jun Qiyan much time to be surprised. He had already rushed to surpass Jun Qiyan, and was rushing straight towards the Spirit Beast in front of him.


    Was Li Shu Ran crazy?


    Seeing Li Shu Ran rushing towards the Spirit Beast, Jun Qianyan couldn''t help but furrow her brows and open her mouth in preparation to call for her to stop.


    Although there were spirit beasts ahead of them, they were still uncertain about the spirit beast''s capabilities. Furthermore, the spirit beast was of a higher grade than the previous demon beast and was very difficult to deal with.


    "Li Shu Ran, do you want to die?"


    Seeing Li Shu Ran about to rush to the front of the spirit beast, Jun Qiyan couldn''t help but shout out loud in an attempt to stop him.


    "Yo, aren''t you unafraid?"


    Li Shu Ran turned his head proudly when he heard that and laughed loudly as he said, "What, you want to hunt spirit beasts too? Or could it be that you cannot bear to see me obtain this spirit beast''s core before you? "


    Finished speaking, Li Shu Ran chuckled twice and then increased his speed. His speed was so fast that it was almost impossible to catch his shadow.


    "Another one has gone mad."


    Jun Qianyan shook her head repeatedly as she looked at Li Shu Ran''s Qi deviation. Her intuition told her that since this spirit beast was hiding in such a secluded place, it must not be simple.


    Not to mention that Di Mo Jiu had already killed one, so the mournful cry of his companion was enough to alert the other Spiritual Beasts. Its attack power would definitely increase by several folds.


    No matter what, if he rashly rushed forward like Li Shu Ran, the only outcome would be death!


    This was truly sinful, to actually meet such a clan''s ancestor!


    Jun Qiyan gritted her teeth and sighed. Although she didn''t have a good impression of Li Shu Ran, she was still a fellow disciple of the same sect after all, so she couldn''t just stand by and watch her die. Therefore, Jun Qiyan had no choice but to speed up and catch up to her.


    Seeing that Jun Qiyan was about to catch up, Li Shu Ran frowned and snorted disdainfully: "Hmph, I thought you were quite capable. So you can''t bear to see others being so nice to you. Are you in such a hurry to snatch my spirit beast?"

 C114

    "Li Shu Ran, are you sick?"


    Jun Qiyan''s face was full of greetings as he stared at Li Shu Ran in confusion and anger.


    Who exactly was the one fighting over it? Did this guy not have any ideas?


    Who in the world couldn''t see others?


    Is this woman a double dog?


    Seeing Li Shu Ran completely ignoring her, Jun Qianyan gritted her teeth and secretly nodded. She took a deep breath and focused her attention on the spirit beast in front of her, no longer caring about the danger Li Shu Ran would face. She only had to worry about her own safety.


    As Jun Qianyan thought this, he also began to use his magic technique to probe the abilities of the spirit beasts. However, for some reason, the more he looked, the more he felt that something was amiss.


    Looking at this shadow, this spirit beast... Wasn''t it too big?


    "Yin Muda!" What the hell are you doing!? "


    Li Shu Ran noticed that Jun Qiyan was using a technique, and started to panic, afraid that the spirit beast would be taken away by Jun Qiyan just like that, causing his anger to grow even stronger. He opened his mouth and shouted loudly, pointing his sword at Jun Qiyan, "Did you not hear what I just said? "How dare you? I even warned you, yet you still want to fight over the Spiritual Beasts with me?"


    The shiny blade emitted waves of cold light, causing Jun Qianyan to flash again and again. Helpless, Jun Qianyan could only glance at the snow-white sword, silently sighed, and indifferently replied: "Li Shu Ran, this is not your Lee family. I don''t need to flatter and flatter you ¡ª I''m sorry to trouble you, but do you know your own limitations?"


    Jun Qiyan''s words turned Li Shu Ran''s face green with anger.


    However, Jun Qianyan thought that since she had already said so much, there was no need for her to hide anymore. So she simply said everything, "Also, since you don''t care about your own life, then there''s no need for me to help you.


    "Are you cursing me?"


    Li Shu Ran was so angry that his face turned ashen. He gritted his teeth angrily and stomped his foot, not wanting to be outdone as he roared back, "I, this young miss, will not bother with you! That doesn''t mean that I don''t hold a grudge! I think it''s better for you to be a little more obedient. Don''t piss me off, or else you won''t even know how you died! "


    Li Shu Ran raised the long sword in his hand and was about to thrust it at Jun Qianyan, but it was obvious that Jun Qianyan was even stronger than him. By the time Li Shu Ran''s sword had arrived in front of him, Jun Qianyan had already pressed down.


    Li Shu Ran raised his head and arrogantly stared at Jun Qianyan, only to see that her eyes were emitting waves of cold light. She slowly spat out the words from her lips, "The last sentence, I will return it to you word for word!"


    After Jun Qiyan finished speaking, she put her sword away and jumped ten steps away from Li Shu Ran, continuing to use her magic to detect the abilities of the spirit beasts in front of her.


    Li Shu Ran stood rooted to the spot as he was obviously suppressed by Jun Qianyan''s powerful aura. He stood there blankly for a long time without uttering a single word.


    Only then did Jun Qianyan finally have the time to truly focus her attention on the spirit beast in front of them. It was just that the spirit beast had unknowingly calmed down as well, and it wasn''t difficult to see from the shadows that the spirit beast was standing in the midst of their miasma. Its pair of dark green eyes revealed themselves through the thick miasma, and it was staring at them closely.


    Jun Qiyan was frightened by the sudden narrowing of the distance. He thought to himself that things were not looking good, but it was already too late.


    When the spirit beast saw the target of Jun Qiyan''s attack, it abruptly rushed out of the miasma and rushed towards her!


    Jun Qiyan only saw the snow-white color of the spirit beasts gradually split into two, then three, after rushing out of the miasma ¡­


    When they came face to face, both Jun Qianyan and Li Shu Ran were simultaneously stunned. They were surrounded by twelve identical looking spirit beasts, glaring at them like tigers stalking their prey ¡­


    Body separation technique!


    Jun Qiyan was suddenly enlightened, but she didn''t have the time to think too much about it. The spirit beasts had already rushed towards her from all directions!


    Jun Qiyan''s brows furrowed as he quickly leaped over the bodies of several spirit beasts and landed firmly on the ground.


    In the next second, she bellowed, and shouted at Li Shu Ran who was still standing there at a loss: "What are you still standing there for? Run! "


    Jun Qiyan turned his head to call out to Li Shu Ran as he looked at every single spirit beast.


    Li Shu Ran was obviously stunned by the scene of so many spirit beasts surrounding her. She could only stare with wide eyes and did not react for a long time; aside from instinctively dodging the attack, she basically did not make any other movements. Even when Jun Qianyan reminded her to escape, she remained indifferent.


    Jun Qiyan could not bear to see this any longer. He cursed silently and could not bear to leave Li Shu Ran alone to die. He hurriedly turned around and left.


    As a result, they quickly saw through the fact that Li Shu Ran was not in his best condition. Therefore, when they tried to chase up to Jun Qi, who was running away like a wisp of smoke, the attack power of the spirit beast focused entirely on Li Shu Ran.


    This time, Li Shu Ran was not the only one with a pale face.


    Jun Qianyan cursed inwardly. Seeing that Li Shu Ran was about to be crushed to death by the claws of the Spirit Beast in front of her, Jun Qi could only brace herself and charge forward.


    The spirit beasts'' sharp claws and fangs were in disarray. It was with great difficulty that Jun Qianyan had managed to evade one of them along with Li Shu Ran, who was a boar teammate.


    However, they were able to dodge it two times, and they would not be able to dodge it ten or eight times in the end. Furthermore, there were over twenty spirit beasts surrounding the two of them!


    Ah!


    A cry of pain quickly rang out. Perhaps because Jun Qiyan was too tired from hiding, but after a moment of rest and adjustment, she felt a cold chill on her left cheek. Soon after, a warm, viscous liquid began to flow down her face.


    The color of the spirit beasts was so intense that it was as if they had seen a bull fighting with red cloth. The bloody smell was the best stimulant of all. The leader of the spirit beasts began to grit his teeth, ready to pounce on Jun Yunyan at any moment.

 C115

    As the blood aura spread, the spirit beasts that were originally at the outermost layer immediately swarmed over, forcing the spirit beasts in the innermost layer to move forward.


    Li Shu Ran, who was standing behind Jun Qianyan, had never encountered such a large number of spirit beasts. He was already quite frightened, and now his eyes rolled up as he fainted.


    Jun Qiyan wanted to wake Li Shu Ran up and help him deal with the spirit beasts, but when he looked back, Li Shu Ran simply fainted. He saw a large number of spirit beasts rushing towards him.


    "They really aren''t afraid of god-like opponents, but pig-like teammates!"


    Jun Qiyan wanted to cry, but no tears came out. He could not help but let out a long sigh.


    She could easily deal with one or two spirit beasts, but there were twenty of them. Even if she had three heads and six arms, she wouldn''t be able to escape safely.


    The most important thing was that Li Shu Ran wasn''t Di Mo Jiu''s teammate. Li Shu Ran actually passed out at such a crucial moment. Even if Jun Qianyan had managed to escape by a fluke, he still had to carry this young miss on his back ¡­


    What a failure!


    Jun Qiyan silently closed her eyes, despairingly looked at the spirit beasts around her that were about to take her life, and let out a long sigh.


    In the blink of an eye, the spirit beasts had already charged in front of them. Jun Qiyan hurriedly used a shield to protect her and Li Shu Ran while simultaneously defending against the attacks of the spirit beasts.


    However, it was not a long term plan. The shield was quickly broken by the spirit beasts. In order to protect Li Shu Ran, Jun Qianyan hurriedly and forcefully pushed Li Shu Ran away. She took a heavy hit from one of the spirit beasts.


    When that claw struck Jun Qianyan''s back, she felt as if her internal organs and lungs were about to shatter. Her entire body flew a few meters away before crashing heavily onto the ground and spitting out a mouthful of blood.


    With both hands on the ground, Jun Qiyan struggled to raise her upper body. Trembling, she turned her head to see several spirit beasts baring their fangs and brandishing their claws at her.


    Jun Qianyan closed her eyes in despair. In this critical moment, a blinding red light suddenly appeared, dispersing the miasma in the surroundings and devouring all the spirit beasts.


    The intense light forced Jun Qiyan to close her eyes. When she opened her eyes again, all she could see was the spirit beast corpses. There was a large splash of blood, almost staining the entire forest red.


    "This is ¡­" "What''s going on?"


    Jun Qiyan was shocked. He blinked his eyes a few times to confirm that he was not hallucinating, but he still could not believe what he was seeing.


    However, it was certain that he had survived a disaster.


    Even though she was surprised, for the sake of safety, Jun Qiyan endured the pain in her body and hurriedly stood up to confirm that the spirit beasts had truly died.


    As expected ¡­ None survived...


    Jun Qianyan could not believe what she had seen, but after confirming that the spirit beast had died, she decided to take the crystal core. She spread open her hands and drew a seal, causing the golden light to scatter in all directions, and then it faded away, and the spirit beast''s corpse gradually gathered, condensing into a purplish-blue crystal core that emitted specks of light as it slowly approached her hand.


    Just as the crystal was about to be gripped tightly in his hand, a shadow suddenly flashed past Jun Qiyan''s eyes. She then saw the crystal that she had almost used her own life to exchange for was tightly grasped in Li Shu Ran''s hand!


    "You ¡­"


    The moment she saw the crystal drop in Li Shu Ran''s hand, Jun Qi was stunned.


    This Li Shu Ran ¡­ Can you be more wicked?


    "What, with my talent, do you think I won''t be able to get this crystal core?"


    Li Shu Ran didn''t know when he had woken up, but the moment she opened her eyes, she saw Jun Qiyan checking on the spirit beasts one by one to see if they were dead. Although she was extremely surprised that this beggar could actually kill so many spirit beasts, it was more important than that.


    It didn''t matter who had killed the spirit beasts. What mattered was who had obtained the crystal core!


    Therefore, when Li Shu Ran saw that the crystal core had already taken shape and was about to fall into the hands of Jun Qianyan, he didn''t even think twice before snatching the crystal core away.


    "Li Shu Ran, can you at least show some face?"


    Jun Qiyan''s internal organs were still in a mess from the excruciating pain. When he heard Li Shu Ran''s words, his face turned even paler. He couldn''t help but clench his teeth and curse angrily, "I really regret saving you!"


    "Oh? Is that so? "


    Li Shu Ran looked at the pained expression on Jun Qianyan''s face, but didn''t seem to care in the slightest. He proudly held the crystal core that he had just obtained, and arrogantly smiled: "Alright then, since you''ve helped me get the crystal core so hard, then I won''t bother with you anymore, and will barely treat you as a friend! Wrong... Since you are under the same teacher as me, I will treat you as my junior! "


    What did he mean by putting in so much effort to please her?


    And he still managed to put the past behind him?


    Jun Qiyan almost spat out a mouthful of blood in anger!


    Who did she really think she was?


    Why did he have to use such a dirty method to steal the fruits of others using their lives!


    She really wanted to beat Li Shu Ran up and snatch the crystal core back. However, the burning sensation on her neck was getting more and more intense, making her feel uncomfortable.


    Jun Qiyan subconsciously touched the jade pendant he had always been wearing, as a strange face formed in his mind.


    Not giving her time to think any further, she quickly took advantage of the miasma to disperse and kill the spirit beasts. Jun Qiyan clutched her jade pendant as she rushed towards the river''s edge.


    The clear river water was very cold, but Jun Qiyan had already picked up several handfuls of water to beat at the hot place, but to no avail.


    Helpless, she could only remove the jade pendant and carefully examine it in her palm.


    He saw a drop of bright red water suspended in the center of the jade pendant. It looked extremely similar to her own drop of blood; it seemed to be from the mouthful of blood that she had vomited when she was struck by the spirit beast.


    The bead of blood seemed to know that Jun Qiyan was looking at him again, and actually began to enter into the jade. It once again emitted a dazzling red light, and although it wasn''t as dazzling as the last time, it was enough to close Jun Qianyan''s eyes. When she opened them again, all she saw was a streak of bright red blood on the jade pendant.


    The red light hadn''t completely dispersed. The jade pendant floated on the palm of Jun Qianyan''s hand, suspended in midair.


    The faint red light from the jade pendant seemed to guide them forward, gradually turning towards the depths of the forest.

 C116

    The jade pendant floated in the air for a moment, then began to slowly fly away. Jun Qiyan understood that the jade pendant''s intention was for her to follow along.


    Jun Qiyan hurriedly gave chase, forgetting that he had to return to report his safety to Saint Silkworm.


    Jun Qiyan covered his still aching internal organs as he followed the jade pendant step by step.


    The jade pendant seemed to be aware of Jun Qianyan''s difficulty as it continued to fly at a slow speed. It stopped flying for a moment as if it was waiting for Jun Qianyan to catch up.


    This time, even Jun Qiyan didn''t know how far she had actually walked. She only saw that the miasma surrounding the forest had dispersed, revealing the black and withered trees. It wasn''t difficult to tell that these were traces of being burned.


    Where is this?


    She frowned as she looked around her surroundings with a blank expression on her face, also on guard against any spirit beasts that might suddenly appear. However, looking up, she saw that the jade ornament did not seem to have the intention of stopping, and seeing that Jun Qianyan had already recovered somewhat, her expression became less unsightly, as she increased her speed.


    Jun Qiyan had no time to ponder over this matter, and could only hurriedly follow along.


    She had worn this jade pendant for many years, and she believed that it would not harm her. After all, the situation just now was as if some sort of seal had been unsealed.


    And she needed her blood to remove the seal on the jade pendant. Presumably, the people close to her would use this kind of enchantment to seal the jade pendant in order not to be coveted by others. Moreover, one day, they would be able to help her whenever she needed it.


    But where did the jade pendant want to take her?


    Jun Qiyan tried to stop her steps as she looked up at the jade pendant, but she couldn''t find any clues. The jade pendant also had no intention of stopping.


    After walking forward for another ten meters, he saw a deep black river before him. It was so quiet that it seemed to be unable to flow.


    Death...


    When Jun Qiyan saw the black river, his first thought was death.


    After all, such a lifeless river that could not flow was bound to death, so wouldn''t the river present itself as black?


    Jun Qiyan was still standing by the river bank, deep in thought when he saw the jade pendant fly across the river. It floated silently on the other side, as if it was waiting for Jun Qiyan to cross the river.


    This time, Jun Qiyan was in a bit of a dilemma.


    After all, she had yet to become an apprentice, and the width of this river far exceeded her capabilities. If she were to directly fly over, if she were to run out of spells and fall down, wouldn''t that mean ¡­?


    Thinking of this, Jun Qiyan couldn''t help but shiver.


    It wasn''t that she was scared, but this lifeless river in front of her, and who knew what was hiding beneath it?


    However, the jade pendant that had been floating on the other side of the river for some time now seemed to be impatient. It kept spinning, and the faint red light seemed to become even more dazzling, as if it was urging her to quickly cross the river.


    Jun Qiyan frowned as she faced the river that was like a black stream. The black area was forbidden to set foot inside, but it seemed that the jade pendant had become impatient as it spun around at an ever-increasing speed, ready to rush out at any moment.


    In desperation, Jun Qiyan could only stomp her foot, grit her teeth, and walk towards the river bank.


    Still holding her breath, she used a spell to help her fly over, careful not to let her breath disturb the creatures hiding at the bottom of the river.


    As she neared the center of the river, Jun Qiyan seemed to sense that the pressure that the river brought upon her was getting heavier and heavier, and the aura of death was beginning to envelop her.


    "Boom ~ ~ ~"


    With some fear, Jun Qiyan picked up a small stone from the riverbank and threw it into the river.


    The small stone fell vertically into the river and was quickly engulfed by the river. There wasn''t even a splash.


    Seeing such a scene, Jun Qiyan could no longer remain calm.


    Just what was this thing?


    Why did it sink to the bottom without even a splash?


    Jun Qianyan''s eyes widened in disbelief, but when he saw that the jade pendant was about to go berserk, it was too late!


    She took a deep breath and tried to pick up another branch. She carefully extended her hand to touch the surface of the water. However, the moment the branch touched the surface of the river, she was stunned ¡ª


    This river was actually solid?


    Jun Qiyan was even more stupefied. She quickly blinked her eyes and forcefully poked him with her finger. That solid feeling was proof that she wasn''t mistaken!


    Could it be that the surface of the river wasn''t made of water, but rock solid?


    But what about the stone that was just swallowed up?


    Before she could think about it, the jade pendant had given her instructions, and the dazzling red light was reflected in the dark water.


    She hurried to catch up. After crossing the river, she found that the world on the other side of the river really had nothing to do with the forest.


    On the continuous stone wall, the occasional drops of water that dripped down emitted a crisp tinkling sound, as well as the cry of a sparrow that came from an unknown place.


    This was a cave?


    She frowned as she looked around, but the jade pendant didn''t seem to stop as it kept flying forward.


    He quickly caught up and stopped at the entrance of the cave. When Jun Qianyan arrived, the jade pendant had already dissipated into light, and had fallen back into her hand, becoming a dead object once more.


    The remaining warmth on the jade pendant had yet to dissipate, and the originally bright red blood trace seemed to have turned dark red.


    Jun Qiyan looked at the still warm jade pendant in his hand, feeling slightly uneasy.


    "Boom ~ ~ ~"


    A sudden loud noise startled Jun Qiyan. She saw the cave suddenly open up, and when the dust settled, she saw bright murals.


    After putting the jade pendant back on her neck, Jun Qiyan carefully looked around.


    Although the murals on the walls were vivid, they were also obscure and hard to understand.


    The figure drawn was even more bizarre, and even looking at it from a modern point of view, it was still hard to believe.


    She had seen the three-headed, six-armed Nezha, as well as the Thousand Hands, Thousand Eyes, Guan Shiyin, Bodhisattva, but she had never seen anything that was full of eyes, nor had she ever heard of a human with flowers and plants as hair.


    However, the animals that appeared on the mural could not be called animals since they were still recognizable as human figures. It was more like a machine made of steel.


    "What is this thing ¡­"


    After walking a circle, Jun Qiyan also had no clue about the mural, so she could only sigh secretly.


    In the center of the palace in the cave, there was a stone coffin. The stone coffin was engraved with the same picture as the mural, but it was much more exquisite and clear. The color was even more radiant.


    Just as he was about to walk over, Jun Qiyan felt the jade pendant around her neck begin to heat up again; it even faintly burned with pain.


    She stopped, and the burning feeling disappeared.

 C117

    Di Mo Jiu was momentarily stunned by Jun Qiyan''s words. He frowned as he looked at her. He was about to ask her something, but after some thought, he suddenly understood ¡ª


    "So that''s how it is ¡­"


    Although his eyebrows had loosened, Di Mo Jiu''s expression didn''t look any better.


    Since it was a spirit beast hunted by Jun Qiyan, and the quantity was so huge, then the crystals formed would be extraordinary.


    Not to mention this was the result of Jun Qianyan''s seriously injured body. Just based on the relationship between Jun Qianyan and Li Shu Ran, it was impossible for Jun Qianyan to be so generous as to give this hard-won crystal core to Li Shu Ran.


    In this way, there was only one possibility that the crystal core was not in Jun Qiyan''s hands ¡ª that was, Li Shu Ran had stood idly by and stolen the crystal core that Jun Qianyan had risked her life to obtain!


    "This has nothing to do with you."


    She knew that he must have understood her meaning, but this was after all, a grudge between Li Shu Ran and her, and shouldn''t involve a man like Di Mo Jiu. Jun Qi suppressed her voice and warned, "But I won''t let her off just like this. I don''t want other people to get involved in this matter between us!"


    "Yes."


    Seeing the resolute look on Jun Qianyan''s face, Di Mo Jiu didn''t say anything else. He simply gave a faint "yes" and gave up.


    "Swish ~ ~ ~"


    The sound of the leaves rustling in the evening wind lingered in his ears as he followed Di Mo Jiu back the same way they came.


    After walking for an unknown amount of time, Jun Qiyan only felt that she was on the verge of collapsing. The wind was blowing her black hair into a mess, causing her eyes to be dazzled.


    The sky had already turned completely dark, leaving only the bright red light in the horizon.


    The faint sound of footsteps came from behind Jun Qiyan. After nightfall, the forest seemed even more tranquil, and the slight sound was amplified many times. Compared to the miasma that shrouded the forest during the day, the forest that was shrouded in darkness was not safe at all.


    Jun Qiyan didn''t have the strength to continue walking. She didn''t know why, but she felt that the way out of the forest was many times longer than the one she had come from. No matter how long she walked, she still couldn''t see the end of the forest.


    Helpless, she could only hold on to the tree trunk with one hand as she turned around to check that there were no spirit beasts watching her from the shadows. Then she took a deep breath and followed God Mo Jiu''s footsteps.


    Even though Di Mo Jiu was walking right in front of Jun Qianyan, he was still aware of Jun Qianyan''s small movements, but he just couldn''t say it out loud. That frown on his face was enough to pinch the mosquitoes surrounding him to death.


    Just because he was patient on the surface did not mean that he would be able to endure the bullying caused by Li Shu Ran.


    No matter what, he would have to inform Saint Silkworm Origin Sentinel after he returned tonight.


    Di Mo Jiu secretly planned something in his heart, but he suddenly heard Jun Qianyan''s breathing get heavier and heavier behind him. In the end, he was still a bit worried. He quickly turned his head and saw that Jun Qianyan''s complexion was paler than before; her eyes were misty, and she was even panting heavily.


    Di Mo Jiu''s heart tightened and subconsciously reached out to help Jun Qiyan.


    "You''re okay ¡­"


    Di Mo Jiu extended his hand to touch Jun Qianyan, but before he could finish his caring words, Jun Qianyan''s half-closed eyes slowly closed. His feet staggered, and he was about to fall to the ground.


    It was a good thing that Di Mo Jiu had already caught Jun Qianyan, otherwise this fall of hers would have made her face intimately touch the earth.


    Di Mo Jiu''s pupils constricted. He felt that it would be better to carry the unconscious Jun Qianyan all the way back, since it would save more effort by doing so. Thus, he simply carried her with his back to the room where the Saint Silkworm Master was.


    The candle wick was shaken by the sudden gust of wind and almost went out.


    The Saint Silkworm had been sitting quietly on the ground, resting with his eyes closed. He opened his eyes in shock, and when he looked up, it was Di Mo Jiu who had returned with Jun Feiyan in his arms.


    "What''s going on?"


    At first, Saint Silkworm had wanted to ask the two why they returned to the wooden house at such an hour, but when he saw the bloodless face of Jun Qianyan in Di Mo Jiu''s embrace and the large amount of blood on his body, he was frightened to the point of furrowing his brows.


    "That''s what he did when I got there."


    Di Mo Jiu said those words expressionlessly, but his ice-cold voice was enough to let the Saint Silkworm understand the meaning behind his words.


    The Saint Silkworm Master frowned as he stared at Di Mo Jiu. He was about to inquire about the details when Di Mo Jiu suddenly added, "None of the twenty beasts returned, but their cores are not with her."


    "What did you say?"


    Saint Silkworm''s face was filled with fear. He immediately sucked in a breath of cold air and asked in a low voice, "Was Mu Kui on the same team as Shu Ran back then?"


    Di Mo nodded his head at 9 points and didn''t deny it. He felt that since he had already said everything, he might as well not hide it anymore and continued, "Last time Miss Li acted recklessly and caused the devil to injure him. Luckily, his injuries were not serious and he did not pursue the matter. I''m afraid you have to give an explanation. "


    The Saint Silkworm''s pupils immediately contracted. So this was the reason for Yin Muda''s previous injury!


    "This is too much!"


    He scolded angrily, "I only agreed to accept her as a disciple because of her father''s kindness. I didn''t expect her to hurt her fellow sect members many times and even steal their crystal cores to fool me! This is too much! "


    "It''s good that you know what you''re doing."


    Di Moyu placed Jun Qiyan flat on the ground so that the Saint Silkworm would be able to treat her wounds. As he slightly bent down, he said calmly, "I can endure this once, but I won''t be able to endure this for the rest of my life. Last time I didn''t say anything, but this time... "I''m afraid you need to go and talk to the Li family''s master. Otherwise, the next time ¡ª"


    "Next time?" "How is this possible!?"


    Saint Silkworm stared at Di Mo Jiu with his eyes wide open. He shook his head while furiously blowing on his beard. He waved his hand and said to Di Mo Jiu, "I know my limits, so there''s no need for you to worry ¡­" Mo Du told me to heal him, so you should go back and rest. Tomorrow ¡ª I will give you an answer! "


    "Thank you."


    When Di Mo Jiu heard this, he knew that Saint Silkworm must have been unable to bear it any longer. He was determined to beat Li Shu Ran up, so he didn''t say anything more, slightly nodded his head, said a few polite words, and stared at Jun Qiyan for a while before turning around and leaving.

 C118

    When the first ray of sunlight shone into the room, Jun Qiyan frowned and let out a stuffy groan. Unwillingly, she opened her eyes and blankly stared at the scene before her ¡ª ¡ª


    This is... Had he already returned to his own cabin?


    But yesterday, he had clearly come back with Di Mo Jiu, how could he ¡­


    Jun Qiyan struggled to sit up. She was still wearing yesterday''s blood-stained clothes, but the wound was already scabbed. Even her internal organs were not as painful as yesterday''s. It was obvious that someone had treated her injuries.


    "You''re awake?"


    The door was gently opened by someone. Jun Qiyan turned her head to look and saw Di Mo Jiu walking in with a new set of clothes; she was relieved to see that she had woken up. She put the clothes down and said, "I''ll go prepare some hot water for you.


    "Alright."


    Jun Qiyan nodded. When she saw Di Mo Jiu''s expression, she had the nagging feeling that something was about to happen, but didn''t ask any further questions.


    Furthermore, since Di Mo Jiu had already told her to change her clothes and go see the Saint Silkworm Origin Sage, then there must be something important that she needed to take care of and she could not delay it.


    Therefore, without further hesitation, a moment after Di Mo Jiu left the room, Jun Qiyan also carried her clothes and left the room, going to the bathroom to take a bath.


    In the other room ¡ª


    The Saint Silkworm didn''t sleep well at all. He sat cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed, frowning. He seemed to be deep in thought, occasionally letting out a heavy sigh as if he was patiently waiting.


    Very soon, someone knocked on the door. Li Shu Ran''s sweet voice came from outside, "Good morning, Master. Can I come in?"


    Saint Silkworm took a deep breath, trying his best to calm his mind. While exhaling, he said in a deep voice, "Come in."


    The door was opened.


    Just from the sound of Li Shu Ran''s footsteps, one could tell how excited she was at the moment. She was angry, but he knew that now was not the time to explain everything, so he closed his eyes and continued to wait, waiting for Li Shu Ran to take the initiative to reveal the ''evidence''.


    In the end, these twenty spirit beast cores were extraordinary treasures. Since Li Shu Ran had stolen them from Jun Qianyan, he must show off in front of his master.


    "Master, look!"


    Sure enough, the first thing Li Shu Ran did when he came in was to show the Saint Silkworm''s core that he obtained from hunting the spirit beast yesterday. "This is the crystal core I obtained from the hunt yesterday. It was formed from twenty spirit beast cores."


    Saint Silkworm did not open his eyes, but from Li Shuran''s words, one could tell how pleased and proud she was right now. Her face was probably filled with joy and arrogance.


    "Is that so? It really isn''t easy."


    Saint Silkworm took a deep breath but still did not open his eyes. He feigned surprise and asked, "Hunting twenty spirit beasts is not an easy task. Tell me, how did you do it?"


    "Actually, it''s quite simple!"


    Li Shu Ran didn''t notice that there was anything wrong with Saint Silkworm at all. He wanted to explain what had happened, but he discovered that he had fainted at that time and didn''t know how Jun Qianyan had killed so many spirit beasts. In short, when she woke up, she had already seen the spirit beasts dead and the crystal nucleus was taking shape.


    But this did not affect Li Shu Ran''s chances of success.


    Since he couldn''t see it, then shouldn''t he make up the bank?


    If he couldn''t make it up, then dealing with it vaguely wasn''t out of the question.


    Li Shu Ran thought like this as he tilted his head up, looking extremely proud and proud. He then blurted out, "Fortunately I inherited the Li family''s ability and have great talent, otherwise, I would have to face so many spirit beasts by myself. I don''t even know what to do!"


    "Oh?"


    Senior Saint Silkworm raised his eyebrows and asked with a sneer, "You''re alone? How do I remember that you went in with them? "


    "Ugh ¡­" Yes, but then we split up! "


    Li Shu Ran was stunned for a moment before suddenly realizing that he must not admit that he was in the same group as Jun Qiyan. Otherwise, he would not even give half a crystal core to his companions. That would be too unkind.


    Li Shu Ran pursed his lips, pretended to be wronged and said: "Master you don''t know about this, but they think that if it''s just me alone, it will be a burden to their progress, so they left the group of two to go first. Leaving me alone, they went to look for spirit beasts ¡­ If I wasn''t smart, I''m afraid I wouldn''t have been able to come out alive. Master, you have to uphold justice for me! "


    Li Shu Ran pretended to be wronged as he reached out his hand to wipe the tears that had welled up from the corner of his eyes with his sleeve. As he continued to blush, he said shamelessly, "Let alone that it is not safe for them to leave me alone in the forest, they actually look down on me as a girl! Master, you must uphold justice for Shu Ran! "


    Hearing Li Shu Ran''s increasingly despicable words, Saint Silkworm opened his eyes and glared at Li Shu Ran. He felt as if he was about to vomit blood from anger!


    If it weren''t for the fact that he saw Di Mo Jiu bring back the severely injured and unconscious Jun Qianyan last night, Saint Silkworm''s Origin Sage almost believed Li Shu Ran''s words!


    "Li Shu Ran, don''t ¡­"


    The Saint Silkworm couldn''t stand it any longer. He took a deep breath and was about to end everything when the door was opened again. The people who walked in were none other than Di Mo Jiu and Jun Qiyan, who had already changed into a new set of clothes.


    "Yo, Big Miss Li is here too!"


    Jun Qiyan shot a glance at Li Shu Ran as his eyes blazed with fire. His tone was even colder than that of winter. "Miss Li has hunted twenty spirit beasts to obtain their cores. Why haven''t you taken them out for your master to see?"


    "Humph, you don''t need to remind me about my problem!"


    Li Shu Ran glared angrily at Jun Qianyan. Taking advantage of everyone''s presence, he took out the crystal cores of the twenty spirit beasts and placed them in front of Saint Silkworm Master, before proudly saying, "Master, quickly look, this is the crystal cores that I took a lot of effort to obtain yesterday!"


    This crystal core was not only several times larger than other crystal cores, even the light it emitted was a bit more dazzling than ordinary crystal cores. If one looked at it closely, they would even be able to see a faint layer of seven colored light surrounding the crystal core.


    If this crystal was really obtained by Li Shu Ran through hard work, Saint Silkworm Elemental Sovereign would reveal an expression of admiration. Unfortunately, Li Shu Ran''s identity as an ''ungrateful and unrighteous swindler'' had been completely exposed.


    The Saint Silkworm Master frowned and took the opportunity when Li Shu Ran was right in front of him to strike Li Shu Ran, sending him flying away. He held the crystal in one hand and stared at Li Shu Ran who was lying on the side, cursing, "You bastard!"


    The words and actions of Saint Silkworm were enough to scare Li Shu Ran to the point that he didn''t dare to speak. Li Shu Ran propped himself up and looked at Saint Silkworm in confusion and fear before asking, "Master, what are you doing?"


    "Don''t you know why your master is doing this?"


    Saint Silkworm stared angrily at Li Shu Ran before glancing at the extraordinary crystal in his hand and sneered, "Is this the crystal you obtained from harming fellow disciples?"


    Boom ¡ª ¡ª


    Li Shu Ran''s mind suddenly went blank as panic appeared in his eyes. He thought it was not good, although he guessed that someone must have complained to Saint Silkworm, he still shook his head with all his might and denied it, "Master, what are you talking about, I ¡­ How could I do such a thing! "


    "You still dare to quibble now that things have progressed to this point?"


    Saint Silkworm had already reached the peak of his fury. The powerful aura radiating from his body forced Jun Qiyan and Di Mo Jiu to take a step back, while Li Shu Ran was also pressured to the point where he couldn''t even lift his head.


    "I didn''t!"


    Li Shu Ran knelt on the ground. He didn''t even dare to raise his head as beads of sweat flowed out one after another. His voice was tinged with fear as he said, "I didn''t hurt him. He was the one who hurt the spirit beasts. I didn''t do it!"


    "What about this crystal core?"


    Seeing that Li Shu Ran admitted it so quickly, Saint Silkworm Yuanzun could not help but let out a sneer, "You just stand back and watch. You watched as your fellow sect members were severely injured by the spirit beasts while you waited for them to take the crystal core for yourself!"


    "No ¡ª I did not! "I did not!"


    Li Shu Ran knew that he had leaked the information earlier. This time, he couldn''t say anything about it.


    After rolling his eyes, Li Shu Ran suddenly remembered the details of his complaint and changed his words, "Master, those were all their words that slandered me. Please don''t believe them! They... They''re looking down on me because I''m a girl, and an aristocratic family one at that! They''re jealous of me! Master, you must believe me! "


    "Bastard!"


    Seeing that Li Shu Ran was still unwilling to admit his mistake and was still pouring dirty water all over Jun Qianyan and Di Mo Jiu''s bodies, Saint Silkworm Origin Sovereign felt like his lungs were about to explode from anger. His temples throbbed for a long time as his head also started to ache.


    "Master!"


    Seeing that the Saint Silkworm Master was still unwilling to believe his words, Li Shu Ran dared to call out to him again. However, in the next second, he was met with the Saint Silkworm Master''s angry shout, "Li Shu Ran, you better tell me honestly, where did you get this crystal core from! And how did the injuries on Mu Du''s body come about?! "


    "The injuries were caused by the spirit beasts, and the crystals were obtained by me!"


    Li Shu Ran glared angrily at Jun Qianyan and Di Mo Jiu. He gritted his teeth and persisted with his confession, "These are all words that they slandered me. Master, you better not believe them ¡­"


    "Stop calling me master! I do not have such a despicable and vicious disciple like you! "


    Before Li Shu Ran could finish his words, he was forcefully interrupted by the Saint Silkworm origin realm cultivator, "I gave you a chance just now and you still don''t know how to repent. Don''t blame me for not showing mercy! From this moment onwards, you will no longer be my disciple! "

 C119

    The words of Saint Silkworm Master Yuan decided Li Shu Ran''s next destination.


    Li Shu Ran felt as if he was struck by lightning. He refused to believe that he had been expelled from the sect just like that.


    "Master, I ¡­"


    Li Shu Ran didn''t give up as he shouted. However, before long, he was met with another palm from Saint Silkworm. He shouted, "Stop calling me master! You are not worthy!"


    Listening to how Saint Silkworm had even brought out the title and status of "This Seat", he was sure that he no longer had any intentions of accepting Li Shu Ran anymore.


    As Jun Qianyan watched this scene, her heart softened. However, she couldn''t do anything about it. Li Shuran''s actions were the result of his own actions. She couldn''t blame anyone but herself, so she didn''t speak up for her.


    "You don''t have to worry. Since you said that you''re a woman, returning alone is extremely dangerous, I can only return the favor and naturally notify your family to send someone to bring you back."


    After the anger had dissipated, there was only disappointment left in Saint Silkworm''s eyes. Since things had come to this point, he might as well explain it all so that Li Shu Ran would not give up and say, "I have long since heard about your reckless behavior and was unwilling to accept you as my disciple. I have no choice but to accept you as my disciple due to the kindness that your father has shown me. How can I take you in again? "


    "Master ¡­" No, Yuan Zun, I was wrong, I know I was wrong, I beg you, Yuan Zun, please don''t let me go! "


    Only now did Li Shu Ran know the seriousness of the situation, but crying and admitting his wrongs were already useless.


    "Old Li, this is the good daughter you taught!"


    As if Li Shu Ran didn''t exist, Saint Silkworm Origin Sage sat cross-legged on the ground and took out a bowl of water. Using water as a medium, he used magic and contacted Li An Min who was a thousand miles away.


    "No-no!"


    Li Shu Ran was still unwilling to accept such an outcome. He hastily jumped onto Saint Silkworm Yuan Zun and snatched away the bowl of water. While shaking his head, he wailed, "Daddy, daughter knows her wrongs! I beg father to persuade the Supreme Yuan not to let him chase his daughter away! "


    The surface of the water reflected Lee Anmin''s face. He was surprised at first, but soon after, frowning, he guessed the gist of it and asked in a stern voice, "What did you do?"


    Perhaps he felt that the rebuke was not the right time to say it, Li An Min paused slightly and quickly reacted. Without waiting for Li Shu Ran''s reply, he cut off the scene first.


    A room full of silence ¡­


    Only the breathing of the Saint Silkworm, which had become heavy due to his anger, and Li Shuran''s soft sobbing could be heard.


    "Take advantage of the fact that it''s still early and hurry back to pack up. We''ll leave tonight."


    In the end, the Saint Silkworm did not hesitate nor did he waver. He quietly looked at Li Shu Ran and said lightly, "I have treated you pretty well these past few days and can be considered repaying Old Li''s kindness. You and I are fated for nothing, so I hope you can take care of yourself when you go back."


    Li Shu Ran''s eyes were bloodshot as she looked at the Saint Silkworm, hoping that he would show some mercy. However, seeing that the Saint Silkworm was still so persistent, she could not shamelessly stay behind any longer.


    The moment the door was opened, the holy silkworm let out a respectful sigh.


    "Disciple has made things difficult for master, I apologize again."


    After Li Shu Ran left, Jun Qiyan looked at Di Mo Jiu, then at Saint Silkworm. He walked up to Saint Silkworm and knelt down before him. He respectfully bowed and said, "Disciple thanks Master for the decision."


    "Last time, I told you about it, but you were kind enough to hide it. Until this time, when it became impossible to hide it, you never planned to tell it to me."


    Saint Silkworm silently watched Jun Qiyan for a moment before sighing helplessly, "If Mo Jiu had not brought you back and told me the reason, I would not have known that she had gone this far!"


    So it was Di Mo Jiu who said that!


    The words of the Saint Silkworm were a little surprising to Jun Qianyan. She had not expected that Di Mo Jiu, who had been patiently enduring, would also have such a snitch moment.


    For some reason, Jun Qiyan began to feel that Di Mo Jiu was no longer as inaccessible as he seemed.


    "The matter is over. Thank you for your love, Master."


    Even though he was astonished, it was still a matter of the Saint Silkworm origin realm cultivator. Jun Qiyan could not help but once again express his gratitude and pay his respects.


    "It''s fine if it''s in the past," Saint Silkworm nodded as he helped Jun Qiyan up. Then, he returned the crystal core to her hand and said with a smile, "It''s time for it to be returned to its rightful owner."


    Jun Qiyan nodded heavily.


    The moment she finished taking out the crystal core, the crystal core suddenly lit up, making everyone close their eyes. When they reopened it, it was no longer abnormal.


    Only Jun Qiyan felt the faint heat from the jade pendant hanging around her neck again, as if it was resonating with the crystal nucleus. The pendant also began to emit a faint red light.


    Jun Qiyan was shocked, afraid that Di Mo Jiu and Saint Silkworm would find out about this matter. He quickly excused himself and hid in his room.


    In the other room ¡ª


    The tears on Li Shu Ran''s face had dried up long ago. Only her red eyes showed that she had cried. Her pretty little face was contorted into a grimace from anger and unwillingness, making her expression look somewhat sinister at this moment.


    It was not that they couldn''t hear the bellowing maids of the Saint Silkworm''s Master. When they saw their young mistress come back crying to pack her things, they understood what was going on and did not dare to provoke Li Shu Ran anymore. They could only lower their heads and pack their bags, waiting for the men from the Lee family to come and pick them up.


    "This is so infuriating, aren''t you just a beggar? You actually dared to report my condition. You must be tired of living! "


    Looking at the empty room filled with a table full of bags, Li Shu Ran was enraged. He gritted his teeth and said, "And that old thing! You don''t want me for a beggar? Pui! It''s not like I have to make you my master. When I return and cultivate, I''ll definitely take revenge! "


    Listening to Li Shu Ran''s venting shouts, the maid was extremely frightened ¡ª one must know that they had not left yet. This meant that this was still the territory of the Saint Silkworm!


    Li Shu Ran actually dared to scold the Saint Silkworm Master in such a manner. If they were to be overheard, it would not be as simple as being expelled from the sect.


    The maid swallowed her saliva and carefully reminded: "Miss, don''t..." "Don''t say anymore ¡­"


    "What? I''m not that old guy''s disciple now, so why can''t I say anything?"


    Li Shu Ran''s eyes widened as she tilted her head back. A trace of ruthlessness flashed past her eyes as she grunted softly, "Just you wait. I will definitely take revenge!" No matter if it''s that beggar, or that old thing ¡­ None of them can escape! "

    When the maid heard this, she was so scared that her face turned white. She quickly reached out her hand towards Li Shu Ran, wanting to cover Li Shu Ran''s mouth to stop her from continuing to speak. She silently prayed that the rest of the family would hurry up and arrive, lest Li Shu Ran became angry and lose consciousness, causing some trouble.


    "Knock, knock, knock ~ ~ ~"


    "Relax!" "Of course, where are you?"


    The maid''s prayer to the sky finally got a response, but what she did not expect was, not only did the family sent someone to pick up Li Shu Ran, even the family head, Lee Anmin, was sent out!


    Hearing Lee Anmin banging on the door and shouting at the same time, the maid was so scared that cold sweat broke out all over her body.


    "Father?"


    Li Shu Ran was also stunned for a moment before quickly reacting. Tears once again flowed from his eyes.


    After knocking open the door, Li Shu Ran directly jumped onto Li An Min''s body who was outside the door ¡ª ¡ª


    "Daddy!"


    Li Shu Ran hugged Lee Anmin tightly as he cried and acted like a spoiled child while criticizing, "Daddy, you finally came! You''ve been waiting so hard for me!"


    "What happened?"


    Li An Min also loved his daughter dearly. When he heard that Li Shu Ran had caused trouble and made Saint Silkworm Master Li Shu Ran be expelled, Li An Min was so scared that he hurriedly brought people over to ask, "What did you do wrong? How did you offend Supreme Yuan and want to expel you out of the sect?"


    "I ¡­"


    Li Shu Ran bit his lips, and was extremely unwilling to admit his mistake, so he started crying again. He choked with sobs and said, "Shu Wei didn''t do anything too excessive, but Master he ¡­" They think that I hurt their fellow sect members and even stole their cores, so ¡­ "So ¡­"


    The maid widened her eyes as she looked at Li Shu Ran in disbelief ¡ª


    She had heard the furious roars of the Saint Silkworm. She had also guessed a little of what Li Shu Ran had done. Moreover, she could guess that Li Shu Ran was capable of doing such a thing.


    But what she didn''t expect was that Li Shu Ran still had the guts to lie in front of Lee Anmin and not speak the truth!


    Perhaps he saw that the maid''s expression was off, although Li An Min was comforting Li Shu Ran in a low voice, he still cast a glance at the maid and asked with a frown: "Is this true?"


    Just as Lee Anmin finished speaking, Li Shu Ran also turned around. A sharp look burst out from her red eyes. It was as if she wasn''t the same person as the one acting coquettishly in Lee Anmin''s arms.


    "Slave ¡­" This servant doesn''t know! "


    The maid felt her scalp go numb. Currently, she was stepping on the territory of Saint Silkworm, Senior Yuanzun, and standing before her was the head of the Li family, Lee Anmin. Whether she spoke the truth or not, she did not have a good ending.


    Helpless, she could only vaguely reply, "This servant didn''t enter the forest with Miss. How would I know that this matter is true ¡­"


    The word "fake" was still not out of the maid''s mouth. Li An Min''s face sank as he sneered, "Ping`er, you''re the daughter of my Li family. You know what you should say!"


    Li An Min''s words made Ping''er''s legs instantly go soft, and she almost fell down to the ground ¡ª ¡ª


    She was the Li family''s little girl. That meant that her life was given to her by the Li family, and the Li family had complete authority to take it back ¡­


    And what Lee Anmin wanted was for her to insist on Li Shu Ran''s lie.


    Ping''er was so scared that her entire body was trembling. She raised her head to try and persuade Lee Anmin, but he had already let go of her arms. Together, they walked towards Saint Silkworm''s room.


    Bang ¨C


    The door was roughly opened by someone. Saint Silkworm and Jun Qianyan, who were sitting in the room, were both startled as they looked at the person who opened the door. They then heard his laughter, "How unexpected! I haven''t seen you in years. I didn''t expect that this time, I would come and bother you about my little girl. "


    Although Lee Anmin said these courteous words, his tone did not contain the slightest bit of respect or politeness. On the contrary, his ridicule and dissatisfaction were extremely heavy, causing Jun Qianyan to feel displeased in her heart.


    Li An Min''s sudden appearance not only frightened Saint Silkworm, but also frightened Jun Qianyan. However, after thinking for a bit, she quickly understood ¡ª the Li Family did not give up and wanted to move the Patriarch out so that they could put pressure on the Saint Silkworm!


    After all, the Li family was a great family after all. It was glorious for a female direct descendant of the family to be taken in as a disciple by the Saint Silkworm. However, she was expelled within a few days.


    How could the Lee family allow such a thing to happen?


    "Mu Du, get out."


    The Saint Silkworm elder stared fixedly at Lee Anmin for a moment, then glanced at Jun Yunxiao, who was completely unsuitable for appearing here. He said in a low voice, "Go back and take good care of your injuries. I''ll look for you if I need anything."


    "Yes."


    Jun Qiyan understood that the Saint Silkworm didn''t want her to get involved in this mess. Furthermore, she knew that the Lee family was not someone to be trifled with. Thus, she nodded obediently and quickly left.


    When she passed Li Shu Ran, Jun Qiyan could clearly feel Li Shu Ran''s vicious gaze on her. There was faint resentment and warning, but Jun Qi didn''t pay any attention to it and pretended that he didn''t see it and directly left.


    "Old Li personally came to fetch Shu Ran. I''m afraid he has something to say?"


    After glancing at Li Shu, he went straight to the point, "I am clear on Shu Ran''s character, but she has repeatedly challenged the bottom line of our sect''s rules. That is why I couldn''t bear it any longer and wanted her to leave, instead of going against you."


    "I wonder what caused Supreme Yuan to be so angry?"


    When Lee Anmin heard this, he could not help but sneer and respond, "Listening to my daughter''s words, it''s just a fight between fellow students, isn''t the Prime Minister taking it a bit too seriously?"


    How could the Saint Silkworm''s origin sovereign not see that Li An Min was mocking him for meddling in others'' affairs, but Li Shu Ran had taken away Jun Qiyan''s crystal core. Although the serious injuries on Jun Qiyan''s body were not caused by Li Shu Ran, the Saint Silkworm''s origin sovereign could guess that Li Shu Ran was more or less involved in this.


    "Play around? "Old Li, I''m afraid you''ve spoken too lightly."


    Senior Saint Silkworm raised his eyebrows and smiled helplessly. As he looked at Li Shu Ran meaningfully, he shook his head and replied leisurely, "Then what about stealing someone else''s crystal core?"


    Although their friendship was not shallow, Saint Silkworm knew that this was not a trivial matter, not to mention there was still Di Mo Jiu''s warning beforehand ¡ª in any case, in this confrontation with Lee Anmin, he absolutely could not compromise!


    "Good, very good!"


    Surprisingly for Saint Silkworm, Li An Min didn''t linger for long. He raised his head and laughed twice before saying loudly, "Since you have made up your mind, I won''t make things difficult for you!"


    The Saint Silkworm elder frowned as he looked at Li Anmin with a puzzled expression. He felt that the situation had gone so smoothly that it was somewhat surprising.


    When Li Shu Ran heard Li An Min''s words, the grievance and unwillingness on his face disappeared, replaced with surprise. He looked at Li An Min in confusion and asked, "Father, you mean ¡­"


    "What else can it mean?"


    Li An Min feigned indifference as he glanced at Saint Silkworm, massaging Li Shu Ran''s head as he loudly said, "Stop messing around, let''s go home. We don''t need to trouble the Saint Silkworm again."


    Li Shu Ran widened her eyes in disbelief, but when she saw the ferocity in Li An Min''s eyes, she immediately understood her father''s intentions. But in order to act, she still squeezed out two drops of tears and left pretending to be unwilling to cry.


    The group left in a grandiose manner, which also meant that Li Shu Ran''s days of taking Saint Vitality''s Vitality as his master had come to an end.


    The Saint Silkworm took a deep breath and exhaled deeply, as if he had been relieved of a great burden. His eyebrows relaxed a lot as well.


    "Master."


    Jun Qiyan had thought that there would be an intense debate, but he hadn''t expected the matter to be resolved in just a few words. It was so smooth that it caused people to feel uneasy.


    I''m afraid this is the calm before the storm.


    "Didn''t I tell you to wait for me outside?"


    Saint Silkworm was somewhat surprised that Jun Qianyan had returned so quickly. He frowned slightly and asked with a deep voice, "Did you all hear that?"


    "Yes."


    Jun Qiyan nodded and sat down beside Saint Silkworm.


    The two of them were speechless for a moment.


    "..." I wanted to settle this matter privately with her, but I didn''t expect it to be this big a deal. "


    After a moment of silence, Jun Qiyan was the first to break the silence. She took a deep breath and slowly said, "Fortunately, the Li Family''s Patriarch did not make things difficult for you, but ¡­ Mu Kui is still a little apologetic. "


    "Forget it, forget it!"


    Saint Silkworm took a deep breath and patted Jun Qianyan''s shoulder. He smiled meaningfully and said, "You are my disciple. If you truly feel guilty, then recuperate well. I was hoping for your help! "


    Jun Qiyan''s eyes suddenly lit up. She respectfully saluted him and said in a solemn voice, "I''m sure that Mu Shou will not disappoint Master!"


    Saint Silkworm gave a slight smile and nodded his head. He waited until Jun Qianyan had left before retracting his smile. He waited quietly ¨C after all, Jun Qianyan was not the only one who was hiding at the side and listening to the commotion in the room.


    "Are you satisfied with the way I handle this?"


    That person might have been really patient, but Saint Silkworm Yuanzun did not have the time to wait for that person to speak, so he could only take the initiative to start the conversation.


    "I''m thinking about how he''ll deal with the twenty spirit beasts the next time we meet."


    The man finally spoke, but his answer was irrelevant.


    Saint Silkworm didn''t need to think to know who the "he" was referring to, so after a moment of thought, he dared to ask, "As he says, we can''t win against a large number of people. What he lacks is probably the body splitting technique and a beneficial spiritual tool ¡ª the body splitting technique can only be practiced after he recovers from his injuries. Furthermore, it is not difficult to obtain a Spirit Treasure. However, I will have to trouble you to make another trip to the forest. "

 C121

    There were more and more small vendors by the street, and the sound of hawking rose and fell. The shops also opened their doors one after another. People''s new day of activities was going on in an orderly manner.


    Following the instructions given by the Celestial Silkworm, Jun Qiyan left the mountains early in the morning and went to the market, where he looked at the list written by the Saint Silkworm, Master Yuanzun, to purchase the necessities.


    "Pfft!" You think you''re qualified to talk about me? "


    A sharp and piercing female voice rang out from the front. Looking in the direction of the voice, Jun Qiyan''s brows immediately wrinkled ¡ª ¡ª


    When Jun Qiyan saw Li Shu Ran''s arrogant and despotic appearance, she felt that her good mood for the day had instantly disappeared without a trace.


    The enemy''s path was narrow!


    That was right!


    Jun Qiyan rolled her eyes. She didn''t hide her disgust at all. She was just about to turn around and leave to avoid provoking that willful young miss of the Venerable Class when she froze.


    Was she seeing things?


    The person who was being shouted at by Li Shu Ran was actually an old man who had passed his prime!


    Jun Qiyan''s face suddenly turned ashen. She didn''t even need to think to know that Li Shu Ran''s young miss'' temper had once again taken over. With a single glance, she could tell that Li Shu Ran was an expert at bullying innocent people.


    Other than that scream, however, Jun Qiyan could no longer hear what Li Shu Ran was scolding at the old man''s words. He only saw Li Shu Ran arrogantly standing in front of the old man''s stall with his hands akimbo, not knowing what he was saying.


    The elder was obviously scared of unreasonable people like Li Shu Ran. Moreover, after hearing Li Shu Ran''s harsh words, the elder was even more scared. His originally stooped body shrunk back due to fear and he looked extremely pitiful.


    "Li Shu Ran, even if this old man really did something wrong, you should at least stop."


    Jun Qianyan couldn''t stand it any longer. She hurriedly stepped forward, and began to drink Li Shu Ran in a low voice. Then, she turned her head and apologised to the old man with a smile on her face, "I''m really sorry. My sister is a bit headstrong and willful; I''ve caused you trouble. I hope you don''t take it to heart."


    After Jun Qiyan finished speaking, he couldn''t wait to find a hole and burrow in it. He didn''t want to stay where he was for even a second longer. He turned around, grabbed Li Shu Ran''s wrist and forcefully dragged him to the side.


    "What are you doing?" Release your hands! "


    Li Shu Ran didn''t expect to coincidentally see Jun Qianyan in the market. The shame and humiliation of being expelled from the sect instantly surged in his heart, causing his anger to increase by more than a fold. He shouted with a shrill voice, "Can you even touch me? Hurry up and let me go! "


    Li Shu Ran was still shouting loudly. It was obvious that he didn''t realize how terrible his actions just now were, nor did he realize how shameful her actions were at this moment. He still felt good about himself and continued to shout loudly with an aloof appearance:


    "Who do you think you are? What right do you have to discipline me? "


    "You are only a beggar. Where did you get the qualifications to be so disrespectful to me?"


    "I think you''re just like that old man. Do you think you''re tired of living?" People like you who have no sense of shame, why aren''t you going to die? "


    Li Shu Ran suddenly flung Jun Qiyan''s hand away and cursed without restraint. His sharp and ear-piercing voice was enough to attract the attention of everyone on the street.


    Jun Qianyan was also filled with anger, but after hearing Li Shu Ran''s vicious words, he could no longer hold it in. His eyes flashed with a cold light, and he slapped Li Shu Ran in the face!


    "Pa ~ ~ ~"


    The crisp slap stopped Li Shu Ran from speaking any further. She widened her eyes in disbelief as she stared fixedly at the ice-cold face of Jun Feiyan. A trace of fear flashed in her heart, but she still instinctively said, "You ¡­ Are you crazy? You actually ¡­ Hit me? "


    "That''s you!"


    Jun Qianyan''s expression was frighteningly cold. In the face of Li Shu Ran''s questioning, she was not the least bit afraid. Instead, she boldly and confidently shouted back, "Honorable elder, do you understand? Since you don''t understand, don''t blame me for waking you up! "


    "You ¡­ "How dare you!"


    Li Shu Ran was so angry that his entire body was trembling. Since young, even Li An Min was reluctant to touch a single strand of his hair.


    "You actually dared to hit me ¡­" "Good, very good!"


    Although Li Shu Ran was a brainless and brainless person, she still knew the difference in strength between her and Jun Qianyan. She didn''t dare to fight Jun Qianyan right now, so this didn''t mean that she couldn''t let Li An Min take revenge for her!


    Right!


    He must let his father kill this beggar!


    Jun Qiyan''s face was still as cold as ever as she watched Li Shu Ran covering half of his swollen face. She quietly watched Li Shu Ran''s bloodshot eyes and slightly deranged expression. She felt that Li Shu Ran''s face was becoming more and more repulsive.


    "Li Shu Ran, don''t you think it''s embarrassing for you to act like this?"


    Perhaps, Jun Qianyan did not have the slightest bit of good impression of Li Shu Ran, to the point where he was currently in a state of being heartless. He directly sneered, "To think that you''re even the young miss of the Li family and even served as the disciple of the Saint Silkworm Master for a few days, you ¡­ Don''t you think that you didn''t just lose your own face? "


    "Where did you get the right to talk about me!"


    Li Shu Ran could no longer hold his anger, especially after hearing Jun Qi Yun''s words. He couldn''t care less about his own strength, he instantly summoned his magic and rushed towards Jun Qi.


    Jun Qiyan dodged to the side in a flash. Although she had dodged Li Shu Ran''s attack, she was still shaken by the aftermath of the attack. She lost her balance and took two steps back.


    Perhaps because her movements were too big, Jun Qiyan felt her five viscera and six lungs begin to ache. She couldn''t help but bend down, clutching her stomach as she panted twice. She coldly looked at Li Shu Ran who was standing in front of her, and said in a mocking tone, "Today, I have finally witnessed what it means to be unreasonable."


    "Shut up!"


    Once again, Li Shu Ran was provoked by Jun Qiyan''s words. After pausing for a few seconds, she once again initiated her magic to attack Jun Qiyan!


    Jun Qiyan silently chanted an incantation, and a few fist-sized red flames suddenly appeared around Li Shu Ran''s body. They floated in midair, seemingly moving aimlessly to surround Li Shu Ran. In fact, they were gradually moving closer to Li Shu Ran, and gradually condensing.


    "This is Starfire ¡­" A prairie fire? "


    Li Shu Ran looked at the small balls of fire that surrounded him. The moment they gathered towards him, he reacted in an instant. He quickly exerted strength into his legs and jumped into the air.


    The small balls of fire that had gathered together beneath her suddenly exploded with a bang, as if they were explosives that had been detonated!

 C122

    Li Shu Ran landed back on the ground. He knew that the situation wasn''t looking good. He hurriedly controlled his magic to allow the hurricane to sweep him into the air. Then, he threw a heavy punch towards Jun Qianyan.


    Jun Qiyan, who was originally injured and unable to dodge fast, suffered a solid punch from Li Shu Ran. He fell backwards in an instant. Apart from a burst of pain from his waist and legs, his internal organs also felt increasingly painful, as if they were being burned.


    Jun Qiyan gritted his teeth as he sat up, only to see Li Shu Ran riding the wind towards him!


    In desperation, Jun Qiyan had no choice but to take out her dagger and defend against Li Shu Ran''s attack.


    "I thought you were amazing, but it turns out you''re just a small fry!"


    Li Shu Ran looked at the dagger that suddenly appeared in Jun Qiyan''s hand and laughed loudly, his gaze full of viciousness: "Did I overestimate you, or did you underestimate me? Do you think a mere dagger can injure me? "


    "How can things in this world be so simple?"


    Jun Qiyan shook his head and laughed as he looked at Li Shu Ran in high spirits. As he continued to drive his magic, a bolt of lightning struck down right in Li Shu Ran''s direction!


    Li Shu Ran was startled and quickly dodged. However, the heat from the Star Bombs still burned his skin.


    Li Shu Ran was startled. He lowered his gaze to look at his arm and was immediately enraged ¡ª


    "You beggar!" How dare you hurt me so many times! "


    Li Shu Ran screamed like a madman. Just as he was about to use his magic to return Jun Qiyan''s attack to his body, a shadow suddenly appeared beside him. When he looked again, he couldn''t help but shout out in surprise, "Daddy!"


    It''s over!


    Jun Qiyan also saw that Li Anmin had come out of nowhere. He frowned as he thought to himself, "Not good."


    Even if Jun Qiyan was injured, he could still deal with Li Shu Ran. However, this Li An Min was different ¡­


    And looking at Lee Anmin''s expression, he probably wanted to kill him right there in the street!


    The more Jun Qiyan thought about it, the more he felt that something was amiss. He had already begun to think about how he could escape.


    It was obvious that Lee Ang Min had also noticed Jun Qianyan''s thoughts. Before she could leave, she had already activated her Inflammation Spell, directly producing a large fireball to attack her ¡ª


    And behind the fireball, there was also Lee Anmin who condensed his mana to throw a palm at her!


    Jun Qiyan didn''t have time to think as he quickly dodged to the side. At the same time, he slashed the dagger in his hand at the same time. Lee Anmin''s arm was immediately cut, bleeding profusely.


    "You ¡­"


    Li An Min looked at the wound that was currently bleeding, and was so angry that his hair stood on end, his facial features contorted into a ball from extreme anger. "Good boy! "He actually dares to use a concealed weapon!"


    "You attacked without giving me any explanation, so I''m not using a concealed weapon to ambush you. I''m using self-defense!"


    Jun Qiyan took two steps back, leaned against the wall, and began to pant violently.


    Lee Ang Min didn''t pay any attention to Jun Qianyan. He didn''t even say anything as he saw Jun Qianyan gasping for breath. He flew up and slapped her heavily on the body!


    Jun Qiyan did not avoid the palm. She only felt a violent tremor run through her body from the outside to the inside, almost causing her to lose consciousness.


    She dared to say that Yang An Min had used nearly a hundred percent of his power in this palm attack.


    Jun Qiyan collapsed onto the ground, no longer having the strength to get up. After taking a few deep breaths, a sweet taste suddenly appeared in his throat as he spat out a mouthful of blood.


    "Daddy is great!"


    Seeing that Jun Qiyan had been beaten so badly by Lee Ang that he couldn''t even get up from the ground, Li Shu Ran was extremely excited. He swept the haze on his face and laughed unrestrainedly, "Let''s see how he will continue to act so arrogantly now! "Hahahaha ¡­"


    "Hmph, this palm is just for you to announce your victory!"


    Hearing Li Shu Ran''s exaggeration, Li An Min also swelled up. He walked proudly to Jun Qi Yun''s side, looking down at her. While sneering, he continued saying: "And this time, it''s for you who injured Shu Ran!"


    As Lee Anmin said this, he gathered all of the strength in his body once again and added on with the power of his magic, kicking towards Jun Qianyan''s stomach!


    Before Jun Qiyan could even moan, he felt an intense pain. Then, his entire body was sent flying into the air. His back slammed heavily against the wall, and he fell to the ground once more.


    "Well fought, well fought!"


    Seeing Jun Qiyan being beaten up by Lee Ang Min without even being able to fight back, Li Shu Ran was as happy as a child. While clapping his hands, he laughed, "Humph, Supreme Yuan values him so much, and I thought he was very powerful. So that''s how it is!"


    "Yes, the old silkworm thinks very highly of him!"


    Li Shu Ran''s words suddenly enlightened Lee Ang Min. He saw a trace of ridicule flash across Lee Ang''s eyes as the corner of his mouth rose uncontrollably, "I wonder how the old silkworm felt when he saw his highly regarded disciple was actually such a waste!"


    Li An Min looked at Jun Qiyan who was lying on the ground and unable to move and sneered. He then raised his hand and ordered the people behind him loudly, "Take him away, let''s go up the mountain! I want to see what kind of expression that old fellow will have! "


    Lee Anmin and Li Shu Ran laughed out loud, turned around and left arrogantly.


    As for Jun Qianyan, who was lying on the ground, she stared coldly at the father and daughter pair as they left.


    Very quickly, the Li Family''s guards arrived at Jun Qiyan''s side. They grabbed her arms from left to right, tied her hands and feet together, and carried her away like a roasted pig ¡­


    On the mountain ¡ª


    Even Saint Silkworm didn''t know how many times he had walked around the room, but before Jun Qiyan could come back, he suddenly saw a group of people outside the room.


    "You ¡­ Old Li? "


    Seeing that Lee Anmin had brought a large group of people to find him, Saint Silkworm Yuan Zun almost fainted from anger and asked angrily, "Old Li, what are you doing?"


    "It''s not good to disturb you so late at night, but old silkworm, there''s something I have to bother you with ¡­"


    He pretended to be respectful and helpless, but the coldness in his eyes was very obvious. "The disciple you think highly of is really amazing, injuring my daughter in public, no? You have to at least give an explanation, no?"


    "You ¡­ "You!"


    When he saw the tied up Jun Qiyan thrown in front of him like she was throwing trash, Saint Silkworm''s face changed. He felt like his lungs were about to explode from anger as he angrily replied, "My disciple, what temper do you have? How could I, as your teacher, not understand? "How could he be so relaxed for no reason at all?"


    Before Saint Silkworm could speak, he was interrupted by Lee Ang with a sneer, "How is that impossible?"


    Chapter 124

 C123

    "Look, this is a good disciple that you have taught!" I was just sparring with her for a bit and she became like this. "


    "Old silkworm, I think you are getting more and more useless as you age. You don''t have the eyes to judge others. How can you not be stronger?"


    Lee Anmin looked at the bloody Jun Qiyan with a mocking gaze, not feeling that his words were shameless in the slightest. He also did not see the murderous gaze that Saint Silkworm Yuan Zun was about to give him.


    How many rounds of sparring? The corner of Jun Qiyan''s mouth rose in a cold smile. This Lee Anmin was truly shameless to the extreme!


    amnesia was truly a good thing, he had now forgotten who was the one who had wanted to take eight pieces of him during the day!


    "You! You really are! "


    Saint Silkworm pointed at the person before him, so angry that he couldn''t even speak. How could there be such a shameless person in this world?!


    Saint Silkworm tightly clenched his fist. It was clearly this Li An Min who did not respect his elders! As a senior, he actually dared to fight against a junior!


    And she was so pleased with herself for not acting!


    Saint Silkworm took a deep breath and thought about what he told Di Mo Jiu.


    "Protect Yin Muju!"


    Saint Silkworm thought. Even without Di Mo Jiu''s words, he would have stood by Jun Qianyan''s side!


    "Do you know what is called shame?!" The Saint Silkworm Elemental Sovereign pointed at Li An Min and almost wanted to curse.


    When Lee Ang heard the Saint Silkworm''s words, he was shocked.


    "Old silkworm, how can you say that about me!"


    Lee Anmin said with dissatisfaction.


    "Is there something wrong with what I said!?" Or did you forget what happened back then!? If it wasn''t for me, would you still be alive today? "


    Lee Anson curled his lips, using the look of "How can you be ungrateful" to look at Saint Silkworm.


    Yes, Li An Min had saved Saint Silkworm Yuan Zun before.


    However, it was the Saint Silkworm that was chased to hide in Li Anmin''s tent. Li Anmin had previously discovered that the Saint Silkworm, the Saint Silkworm, wanted the Saint Silkworm, to be chased out by the Saint Silkworm.


    If not for the Saint Silkworm Yuan Zun using all the treasures on his body in exchange, Li An Min definitely wouldn''t have been able to save Saint Silkworm Yuan Zun.


    Logically speaking, the two of them should have been on the same level many years ago. However, the holy silkworm essence respected friendship, and it had always caused them to feel embarrassed when they dragged each other into a dangerous situation.


    So these few years to Lee Anmin has always been a demand of no matter what.


    And in these years, Lee Anmin also began to become more and more impudent, he almost completely plundered all of his treasures.


    "Even if you saved me back then, I have already paid you back for all these years!"


    Saint Silkworm''s hand turned to ash as he spoke with a cold expression.


    "You!" When Lee Anmin heard the Holy Silkworm Master''s words, he immediately blew his beard and glared at him. He felt that the Holy Silkworm Master had been ungrateful and owed him.


    "I did hit this brat, but if he didn''t severely injure my daughter first, how could I possibly deal with her?!


    Lee Anmin coldly snorted and said.


    Li Shu Ran also quickly stood up with a wronged look on his face.


    Saint Silkworm had long known about today''s events.


    At this moment, he could finally see Lee Anmin''s true nature. He shouted angrily and did not plan to continue fighting with him.


    "Shut up! Do you really think I''m an idiot?! "


    The might of a powerful Saint Silkworm completely dissipated.


    Li An Min had a bad feeling. It was at this moment that he realized that Saint Silkworm Yuan Zun was an existence that he could not afford to provoke. If he was truly angered by the Saint Silkworm, and his Lee family was exterminated, he could not do anything to him.


    Realizing this question, Li An Min retracted his previous attitude. He lightly coughed and said with an extremely magnanimous manner:


    "Since this brat hit Shu Shu but I also hit him, then we''re even!"


    Lee Anmin said with a magnanimous look.


    Jun Qiyan frowned, not thinking that things would be so simple. After being together for so many days, it could be said that she understood Lee Anmin very well.


    Selfishness and greed. The only good thing about her was that she treated her daughter well.


    However, because he doted on her too much, this advantage became his weakness.


    Sure enough, as Jun Qianyan expected, when Lee Anmin was halfway through his words, his eyes turned and a greedy smile appeared on his face.


    "Even though my body is equal in this aspect ¡­" "But how do you count the time?"


    Lee Anmin looked extremely embarrassed. "Look, that''s all. We''ve known each other for a long time, and I don''t want much from you."


    "I saw a spacetime scroll with you last time ¡­"


    Lee Anmin wanted to say something but hesitated. The meaning was very clear.


    Saint Silkworm''s beard was crooked from anger, how could he not see that Li An Min was such a shameless person all these years!


    He actually asked for a time turnaround!


    After all these years, all he had left was the Time Scroll.


    As the name implied, the Time Scroll could reverse the flow of time back to five minutes ago.


    He had spent a great deal of effort to obtain this time scroll! He was afraid that some of his enemies would come looking for him ¡­


    It wasn''t the first time this Lee Anmin had asked him for this. He had clearly told him last time that this thing couldn''t be given away!


    "No way!" Saint Silkworm didn''t even think before rejecting him.


    Even if he gave it to someone, he would never give it to a greedy person who had no morals in his heart!


    Saint Silkworm thought angrily.


    "Don''t go too far!" Lee Anmin didn''t expect the other side to actually do this thing again and again, and couldn''t accept it in his heart.


    This was truly a place to earn money and provide kindness. It was also a place to earn enmity!


    Jun Qiyan smiled sarcastically. In his past life, he had never seen such people. Some of them were just used to your help. He wouldn''t be grateful, but would instead think that it was natural for him to do so.


    "What is it? Do you want to compete with my master in your next battle?! " Jun Qiyan raised an eyebrow as a trace of ridicule flashed across the corner of his mouth.


    "Kid, what are you saying?!"


    Li An Min frowned and said unhappily. If he could defeat the Saint Silkworm origin realm cultivator, he would have already killed the young and the old!


    How could he still stay until now?


    "That''s not what I meant ¡­" Lee Anmin quickly put on a smile.


    "Time Scroll, I''m just not going to give it to you even if I have to feed it to a dog. Just give up."


    Saint Silkworm did not want to have any further contact with the other party, so he coldly spoke.


    "Good, good! Of course, some people were ungrateful ingrate! When I was in glory, I forgot who helped them! "


    Li An Min didn''t forget to mock Jun Wu Yi before he left. After finishing his sentence, he glared at Jun Qianyan.

 C124

    "Helping someone depends on whether it''s worth it."


    After seeing the father and daughter pair clearly, Jun Qianyan didn''t want to waste any more words on pleasantries. She wasn''t afraid of Lee Anmin''s glare, and the corner of her mouth pulled back into a sneer as she ridiculed, "This is truly strange, this is the first time I''ve seen someone who dares to act out a show called ''Thief'' in front of the Saint Silkworm Master."


    The meaning of Jun Qianyan''s words were very clear. He was simply mocking Lee Anmin for saying that Saint Silkworm Yuan Zun was an ingrate, but he did not know that he was the ingrate.


    Li An Min was so angry by Jun Qiyan''s words that his eyes were bulging. He stopped and glared at her, but was still forcefully dragged away by Li Shu Ran. However, in Li Shu Ran''s last glare before he left, Jun Wu Yi clearly saw his disappointment and unwillingness.


    If these two left just like that, there would probably be more trouble in the future.


    The door was slammed shut with such force that the loud sound caused Jun Feiyan''s body to flinch.


    When she looked back at Saint Silkworm, she somehow felt that Saint Silkworm''s expression had become a lot more relaxed.


    "..." Master? "


    Seeing that Saint Silkworm Yuanzun had closed his eyes and did not speak, Jun Qianyan felt a little uneasy and probingly asked, "But just now ¡­" Mu Du said the wrong thing? "


    "Not really." Supreme Saint Silkworm shook his head and opened his eyes, looking at Jun Qianyan with a gratified expression. He smiled and said, "You''re worthy of being my disciple. You know what I''m talking about. You''ve got guts."


    He smiled shyly, but when he thought of Li Shu Ran and Li An Min''s last looks, he still felt a little uneasy. In order to prevent the Saint Silkworm Master from becoming suspicious, he could only say, "These past few days have been quite troublesome, I believe Master is also tired. Mu Sha will not disturb you any further."


    Saint Silkworm lightly nodded and did not reply. He only waved his hand as a response.


    After leaving Saint Silkworm''s room, Jun Qiyan returned to her own room and lay down, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.


    One was because he had been bullied in public by Li Shu Ran and Li An Min;


    Secondly, he had a faint feeling that this insatiable father and daughter pair would not give up at this point. It was likely that the next time they came looking for him would be even more trouble.


    These two times, Saint Silkworm had acted as a shield for him, but the next time, he was afraid that they would not even put him in their eyes.


    Before that, she had to take action!


    Logically speaking, since Jun Qiyan had been running around for a whole day and had been injured, he should have been able to rest well. But after thinking about it just now, he felt more and more spirited and did not feel sleepy at all. His eyes were glued to the rafters above the room, and he refused to close his eyes.


    Perhaps the jade pendant that had been silent for a long time had suddenly started to react. It began to emit a dark red light which floated in front of Jun Qiyan''s eyes, illuminating the entire room.


    What was it trying to do?


    Jun Qiyan stared blankly at the jade pendant, not daring to respond for a long time.


    Could it be that there was some other mystery in that ancient tomb?


    Jun Qiyan lifted the quilt and sat up, thinking back to the scene that day when he saw the ancient tomb. His back suddenly felt a chill, but he couldn''t suppress the curiosity in his heart.


    Since ancient times, some unknown treasures have been hidden in ancient tombs, could it be ¡­


    He held the jade pendant tightly in one hand and opened the door a crack. He carefully looked outside and made sure that both Saint Silkworm and Di Mo Jiu had gone to bed. Then he quietly closed the door, afraid to cause any noise.


    Carefully walking out of the courtyard of Saint Silkworm''s log cabin, Jun Qiyan immediately activated her magic to allow her body to fly in the wind, following the path indicated by the jade pendant, and arrived in front of the cave.


    The door to the cave was left open, as if it had been waiting for a long time.


    Jun Qiyan stood at the entrance of the cave and watched for two seconds. He then swallowed his saliva and walked straight in.


    The open door of the cave seemed to be only waiting for Jun Qiyan''s arrival. Once Jun Qiyan stepped into the cave, the door actually slowly closed. From the outside, it seemed no different from a stone mountain.


    It was very strange.


    The jade pendant once again illuminated the space inside the cave for Jun Qiyan. She opened the door to the ancient tomb along with the switch in her memory ¡­


    Looking at the ancient tomb that was covered in vines and spiderwebs, Jun Feiyan used the shining jade pendant as a torch and slowly walked into the space within the coffin.


    Only when they got closer did Jun Qiyan notice that the interior of the tomb was exactly the same as the inside of the cave. There were murals on the walls, but the murals were even more exquisite.


    The jade pendant stopped in front of one of the mural of a muse. It floated up and down, as if hinting at the presence of Jun Qiyan.


    "This is ¡­"


    Jun Qiyan walked closer. She carefully examined the mural for a few times, but was unable to find what it was. Then, she stretched out her hand and gently caressed the mural.


    A chill ran down Jun Qianyan''s spine. She quickly moved her hand away and tilted her head forward. It was only then that she realized there was a small red pearl inlaid with a red pearl on her forehead!


    Isn''t this a little too covert?


    Jun Qiyan''s eyes widened in disbelief. At the same time, he was sighing over the efforts of the tomb creator.


    If it were not for the jade pendant''s guidance, the tomb robber would never have discovered the mystery behind this!


    Jun Qiyan let out a low laugh. She gently poked the red pearl with her forefinger, but felt a bit of pain. She quickly retracted her hand and saw that a small wound had appeared on her index finger.


    "Damn, how many traps is this?"


    Jun Qiyan wiped away the drops of blood on the tip of her index finger. Suddenly, he noticed that the mural of the muse had sunk inward. On the right side of the mural was a hidden room!


    Jun Qiyan was stunned ¡ª this was the first time she had seen a tomb with a chamber inside!


    The light from the jade pendant seemed to have brightened up a bit. After seeing Jun Qianyan open the door, the jade pendant seemed to be even more excited than she was. It fiercely shook up and down a few times, and then with a whoosh, it disappeared into the secret room.


    "Wait ¡­" Where are you going? "


    Jun Qiyan was frightened by the "spiritual" appearance of this jade pendant. He hurriedly caught up to it, but was immediately stunned ¡ª


    Inside the secret room were two large cabinets with a grid on it. Although there were a lot of boxes, there were very few items inside. It was unknown if someone else had entered the two cabinets before, only a handful of medicinal bottles remained.


    But his intuition told him that these medicine bottles definitely had a great origin ¡­


    Jun Qiyan observed the scene in the secret chamber. She had the feeling that there couldn''t be only a few bottles of pills inside! For example, who would go through so much trouble to set up a bunch of traps just to protect these few bottles of pills?


    In any case, Jun Qiyan didn''t believe him.


    Jun Qiyan observed her surroundings. There was nothing else in the chamber apart from the cabinet. She tried to reach for it with her hand.


    After a while, Jun Qiyan''s eyes lit up.


    There was a bulge at the back of the cabinet. It felt like a button.


    Jun Qiyan pressed the button, and with a ''kacha'' sound, the cabinet was split in half.


    Perhaps the owner of the design thought that no one would come here, and even if someone did, they wouldn''t discover the secret, so they didn''t set the trap.


    When Jun Qiyan walked in, she was stunned by what she saw.


    In the air directly above the lake hung a light blue pearl.


    The beads were also surrounded by water ripples.


    "That''s the Water Spirit''s Pearl."


    The voice of the Octadic Snake faintly sounded.


    "Water Spirit''s Pearl?" Jun Qiyan didn''t know what this Water Spirit''s Pearl was.


    "That''s right. The Water Spirit''s Pearl can move all water resources within a hundred mile radius. Do you remember the scene on the mountain? " the Octadic Snake asked.


    Jun Qiyan nodded. Of course she remembered!


    "The reason why it doesn''t rain on this mountain is because of this Water Spirit''s Pearl. It has attracted all the rain on this mountain to this place."


    "Oh right, this can also allow you to use Water Elementals."


    The Octadic Snake spoke indifferently, not feeling surprised by what he had said.


    Water particles can be used?


    Jun Qiyan was shocked.


    What she didn''t know was that outside of the spirit root, he could also use external power to control other elements ¡­


    "Since you saw this thing being taken away, you can consider it as the people living on this mountain."


    Hearing these words, Jun Qianyan didn''t hesitate any longer. She took a step forward and pulled down the Water Spirit''s Pearl from the air. If you don''t want it, then you''re an idiot!


    As soon as the Water Spirit''s Pearl left its original position, the lake water around it began to bubble.


    They all ran in the direction of Jun Qiyan.


    Jun Qiyan silently cursed in his heart.


    "Baji Snake, you grandpa ¡ª"


    Before Jun Qianyan could finish swearing, the great snake''s impatient voice sounded again, "What are you running for?"


    He saw that the surging lake water had been completely absorbed by the Water Spirit Pearl. The originally pale blue Water Spirit Pearl had become a deep blue color.


    In order to prevent any more accidents, Jun Qiyan put the Water Spirit''s Pearl into the space directly.

 C125

    The sky gradually turned white. On the mountaintop, there were nearly ten shadows. Everyone held a long sword in their hands and looked towards the mountaintop from time to time, as if they were waiting for something.


    "Boss, we''ve already waited for an entire night, how come there''s still no sign of us?"


    One of the men was bent over, complaining in a low voice, as he looked up the mountain from time to time.


    A trace of impatience flashed in the eyes of the man who had been called leader. Unfortunately, they were also people who had been paid by others to help others get rid of disasters. Now, they finally managed to keep up and even waited for an entire night.


    "Why are you guys in such a hurry!?" Haven''t you heard? If you can keep your cool, you''ll be able to achieve great things! "


    Even though he said that, the leader didn''t seem to have much patience left. He spun around a few times, then sat down on a rock and started to sigh with a frown.


    "Boss!" "Boss!"


    Not far away, a figure suddenly appeared. A sharp-eyed man looked over and suddenly shouted with extreme excitement, "Leader, look! That kid is here! "


    The sound of his voice woke everyone up. They had been waiting for an entire night and their patience had almost been worn out. It could be said that the ten people who were drowsy had suddenly regained their energy, as if a dog had just seen a bone.


    "Good boy!" I had to wait here for an entire night before I could see anyone! "


    The leading man slowly stood up from the ground. While glaring at Jun Qiyan, he twisted his stiff neck and sneered, "Brothers, it''s time to move!"


    In the distance, Jun Qiyan realized that nothing was wrong. She quickly walked down the mountain with the medicine bottles in her pocket, afraid that if she went back too late, she would be discovered by Saint Silkworm Master Yuan and Di Mo Jiu. Not only did they not sleep last night, they also ran out alone.


    But it was strange, the ancient tomb was hidden in such a secluded place, and there was a mysterious secret hidden inside, but there weren''t many treasures inside. In the entire inner room, there were only a few bottles of pills.


    However, since ancient times, medicine pills had always been good. Moreover, it was hidden so well and there were very few of them. Therefore, Jun Yunrue was somewhat curious about the effect of this medicine.


    "Brother, you want to go up the mountain by yourself?"


    Jun Qiyan was still thinking about the matter regarding the medicinal pills when she heard a man''s voice sound out from the front. She raised her head and saw that there were several men standing in front of her with long swords in their hands.


    "I didn''t know there was a thief on this mountain?"


    Jun Qiyan had no intention of putting these bandits in his eyes at all. Hence, he replied with a smile, "What, do you need me to hand over some money?"


    "Little brother, if you say that, then this grandpa won''t be happy!"


    The leading man stared at Jun Qiyan for a moment, then glanced at the two brothers behind him. He suddenly grinned, snorted and said, "I did indeed want to buy some money, but I''m not happy with your words. What about you, you''re not willing to give it to me either ¡ª why don''t we change it?"


    Jun Qianyan narrowed her eyes and suddenly burst out laughing, "Another one? I''m afraid you don''t want me to be your subordinate? "


    "Leader, this kid is too arrogant!"


    Jun Qiyan''s words did not enrage the leading man, but the man behind him did. With a glare, he scolded, "Boss, why are you wasting your breath on him!? Hurry up and cut off his head so that we can receive the money! "


    The underling spoke angrily as he took the lead and rushed towards Jun Feiyan.


    Jun Qianyan dodged to the side and quickly turned her head. Instead, she caught the arm of her subordinate, narrowed her eyes, and asked with a voice as cold as ice, "Oh? Take the money? "


    Jun Qiyan quickly caught on to the main point. He gripped the man''s shoulder tightly and stared at him for two seconds before asking in a stern voice, "So, someone hired you to stop me?"


    Jun Qiyan''s anger was ignited in an instant.


    Who was it that had spent so much money and manpower to block him in this forest?


    Furthermore, since they were sitting here waiting for him, they must have followed him for quite a distance ¡­


    Could it be that they had already set their sights on him after he left Saint Silkworm?


    "Damn it!"


    When the leader heard this, he was immediately enraged and could not help but curse, "Idiot, who let you say that!"


    The leader''s words angered Jun Qiyan even more. She let go of the hand that was clawing onto her subordinate''s arm, turned around, and activated her magic. She then directly threw a palm attack towards the leader.


    That palm did not have much strength, so it did not hurt very much to hit, but it was a combination of power and magic after all. When it was swung out, it created a strong wind with the spell, directly pushing those people two steps back.


    "Then, who hired you to kill me?"


    Jun Qiyan''s body floated up with the wind and landed steadily on the ground. She stared fixedly at the ten mercenaries who had regained control of their sabers and coldly asked, "If you don''t tell me, don''t blame me for not giving you a chance to tell me!"


    "Pfft!" A mere brat dares to speak to me like that? "


    The leader didn''t lose his prestige because of this. He thought that he wasn''t prepared for it just now, so he let Jun Qiyan''s palm strike land on him. He then ordered his underling, "Cut off his head for me and go back to show the potential of this strike!"


    When the lackeys heard this, they immediately became abnormally spirited, as if they had heard the sound of a bugle horn blowing. They clamored as they rushed towards Jun Qiyan.


    However, Jun Qiyan did not take them seriously at all.


    At least she had recovered some of her strength. This close-combat training was not a difficult task for her, so it was easy for her to dodge. With one left fist and one right palm opening up, she rushed towards the leader!


    A sheen of sweat appeared on the forehead of the leader. When he saw Jun Qiyan rushing towards him, he hurriedly raised his long blade and waved it at her ¡ª ¡ª


    He raised his hand, but before the knife fell, the leader felt a sudden pain on his shoulder. His body stiffened and stopped moving. When he looked down again, he saw that a dagger had pierced into his shoulder.


    "You ¡­ They are actually using concealed weapons! "


    The leader raised his head and glared angrily at Jun Qianyan, gnashing his teeth as he shouted, "You are truly despicable!"


    "Then, do you all feel that it''s not despicable to block me halfway up the mountain?"


    Jun Qiyan activated his magic technique as a ball of fire suddenly ignited in his palm. He asked in a warning tone, "I will ask again, who is the person who hired you?"


    "I... "I don''t know!"


    The leader of the group could be considered to have some backbone as he pretended as if he hadn''t heard Jun Qianyan''s words. He turned his head and snorted, at the same time, he gripped the long blade in his hand tightly.


    "Oh?"


    When she heard the sound of footsteps coming from behind her, her other hand suddenly waved backwards, creating another hurricane. The hurricane forced the people around to retreat, and with a leap of the wind, she arrived in front of the leader in the blink of an eye.


    "Zizi ~ ~ ~"


    The sound of meat being cooked suddenly rang out, and the leader''s face contorted in extreme pain. Smoke rose up from his arm again and again, and when he looked again, it was Jun Qianyan who directly burned her burning hand into the leader''s hand!


    However, Jun Qiyan didn''t intend to let him go just like that.


    Jun Qiyan turned to the side, swiftly flashed behind the leader, and punched him in the head.


    Before the leader could make a sound, he rolled his eyes and fainted.


    "Boss!"


    The rest of the mercenaries didn''t even have time to react before they saw their leader had already fainted. Each and every one of them were shocked and dizzy from anger. They raised their long blades and roared as they charged towards Jun Qianyan.


    "I''ll kill you! I must kill you! "


    At this time, the mercenaries were no longer worried about receiving the money. Seeing Jun Feiyan so easily taking out their leader, they felt humiliated and rushed forward without a word.


    Jun Qiyan''s gaze turned cold as she revealed an extremely arrogant smile.


    In a blink of an eye, everyone who was originally full of vigor and vigor had fallen to the ground, looking extremely miserable.


    "Say that no one sent you!"


    Jun Qiyan looked at the people who had little fighting strength and said coldly, "If you don''t say anything, I''ll kill your boss!"


    Jun Qiyan placed the sword in her hand on the neck of the leader, as if she wanted to kill him.


    "I, we will talk!" When one of them saw that these people were no match for Jun Yunyan, he immediately panicked.


    It''s the young miss of the Li family, Li Shu Ran told us to kill you! If you want to kill her, then kill her! "


    The little mercenary had a sullen face and was on the verge of kneeling down and begging for mercy!


    He''s still young! He still wanted to die!


    "Li Shu Ran!" When Jun Qianyan said these three words with gritted teeth, the coldness in his eyes became even more apparent.


    Again and again he had spared her, but she had always wanted to kill him. Anger raged in Jun Qiyan''s heart as she coldly said to the other mercenaries, "Scram!"


    When everyone heard this, they hurriedly left Jun Qiyan''s line of sight as if they had received an amnesty.


    The night was dark and Jun Qiyan had already snuck into Li Shu Ran''s room. He was not some holy mother ¡­ The other side already wanted him ¡­


    Other people had tried to take his life again and again, but Jun Qiyan wasn''t a saint.


    He snuck into Li Shu Ran''s room and looked at the person sleeping on the bed without being noticed. A cold expression appeared on his face.


    Li Shu Ran frowned uneasily. He opened his eyes and saw a black shadow standing beside his bed.


    Li Shu Ran was so frightened that he started shrieking. Jun Qiyan wasn''t worried at all that the other party would attract guards from the outside.


    She calmly opened her mouth and changed her tone to speak to the person in front of her, "Even if you shout until your throat breaks, no one will save you. I''ve already set up a barrier around here."


    Li Shu Ran''s eyes were wide open as he looked at Jun Qianyan with a face full of fear.


    "Who the hell are you? What do you want to do!? "


    Jun Qiyan revealed a cold smile as he stood by the side of the bed, his expression grew colder and colder.


    "Those who know too much will lose their lives ¡­"


    Jun Qianyan did not plan to interact much with the person in front of him; instead, a dark flame condensed above his finger.


    "Heavenly Flame?" As the eldest daughter of the Li family, Li Shu Ran naturally knew that the fire in Jun Qianyan''s hands was a ''Heavenly Flame''.


    When the ''Heavenly Flame'' was born, all flames submitted!


    "I am the young miss of the Li family. If you kill me, my father will not let you go!"


    Li Shu Ran was really panicking at this moment. He swallowed his saliva and continuously retreated.


    Jun Qiyan pretended to be afraid. "Yes, you''re right ¡­" "You are the young miss of the Li family, and your father is Lee Anmin."


    Li Shu Ran thought that the other party was truly afraid of his identity and started to become complacent again. "That''s right. If you let me go today, I can still let you live!"


    Although Li Shu Ran said those words, he was secretly thinking in his heart: As long as this brat lets me go, she will immediately have father kill him!


    "But how can I believe you... Or rather, a dead man keeps it a secret, doesn''t he? " Jun Qiyan sneered as a trace of killing intent flashed through his eyes.


    Li Shu Ran didn''t even have time to retaliate before feeling a pain in his lower abdomen. He looked at his aurous core and actually managed to dig it out alive ¡­


    Afterwards, Jun Qiyan easily crushed it, and the entire process only lasted a few breaths'' time.


    "You!" Li Shu Ran fainted because of the pain.


    Jun Qiyan did not intend to kill him, but he had to teach him a lesson. Once he was done, she took care of the situation and left the Lee family without looking back.

 C126

    When Jun Qiyan returned, she had just finished changing her clothes when she heard someone swearing in her ear.


    "Yin Muju, come out and die!"


    Following the voice, Saint Silkworm took the lead and walked out. Jun Qiyan followed closely behind him.


    When the two of them arrived outside the house, Lee Ang Min and Li Shu Ran had already arrived in the courtyard. The Saint Silkworm Master looked at Li Shu Ran, who was crying behind Lee Anmin.


    "What''s going on ¡­" Before Saint Silkworm could finish his words, Lee Ang took a step forward and prepared to tear Jun Qianyin into eight pieces.


    "Stop! Do you take me for a dead person!? "


    The Saint Silkworm elder narrowed his eyes, his heart burning with fury. He had dared to kill his disciple right in front of his eyes!


    "This brat crippled my cultivation. Don''t tell me he doesn''t deserve to die?"


    When Lee Anmin had finished speaking, Li Shu Ran also wailed in front of Saint Silkworm Yuan Zun, "Without cultivation, I will be a cripple in the future. I don''t want to live anymore!"


    Li Shu Ran was not faking his tears as she was really upset. One reason was because her Jindan was broken. At this moment, her whole body was in pain, and the other was because of fear.


    Jun Qiyan hid behind the Saint Silkworm, blinking his eyes. This Li Anyun''s reaction was really fast. Just as he left, he actually found him.


    However, at this time, Jun Qianyan absolutely could not admit that she had crippled Li Shu Ran''s cultivation. She blinked innocently and said:


    "You can eat whatever you want!" You can''t speak carelessly, say, I crippled Li Shu Ran''s cultivation, do you have any proof!


    Jun Qiyan raised an eyebrow as he asked.


    Saint Silkworm''s face sank. If he had evidence, would he be arguing with this kid here?!


    "Humph!" It''s obviously you! Our family is gentle, kind and obedient! Normally, you never get into an argument with anyone but him and you. If it wasn''t you, who else would it be? "


    Lee Anmin spoke of his daughter''s proud look.


    Be kind, understanding, obedient?


    He never had any conflicts with anyone?


    Jun Qiyan felt as if his ears were going to break. Didn''t this guy really count 13 points!? Didn''t he know what his daughter was like?


    "Enough!" Saint Silkworm had a gloomy expression on his face as he stared at Lee Anmin.


    "Mo Jiu has been training in the back mountain all day, do you think I know? There has to be a limit to framing others! " Saint Silkworm said unhappily.


    He had set up a barrier in the cultivation grounds at the back of the mountain. He had sensed the presence of anyone who entered or left the mountain.


    If it was anyone else, Saint Silkworm would have definitely sensed it. However, Jun Qiyan was not an ordinary person.


    She probably had even more magical equipment than the Saint Silkworm origin realm cultivator.


    He had originally been sure that Jun Qianyan was the culprit, but now that his daughter was about to become a cripple, and thinking about how that kid had already become a disciple of Saint Silkworm, he couldn''t help but feel indignant and decided to cause trouble.


    "You have the right to speak. What''s going on, isn''t it up to you to speak up?!" Lee Anmin said with unwillingness.


    "I don''t care if this kid doesn''t pay with his life, I will cripple his cultivation!" Lee Anmin said with hatred, why did her daughter become a trash and this brat still be fine?


    Lee Anmin was unwilling!


    "Enough!"


    The Saint Silkworm was so angry that his entire body was trembling. Just who was this person!?


    "If you dare to come here again in the future, don''t blame me for being impolite!" Saint Silkworm''s voice was cold to the point that it sounded like dregs. Li An Min knew that the other party was truly angry.


    He didn''t think that this brat would be so important to this thing. After so many years, even if he did something too excessive, the other party still hadn''t revealed the slightest bit of killing intent towards him.


    At this moment, Saint Silkworm was clearly telling him that if he dared to hurt Yin Muju even the slightest bit, he would kill him!


    Lee Ang Min did not doubt the truthfulness of Saint Silkworm''s words at all. He knew that the other party would definitely do it.


    Jun Qiyan never thought that Saint Silkworm would protect herself like this. She knew that Saint Silkworm had always been grateful to Li Anmin, and would not fall out with him unless it was absolutely necessary.


    The Green Edge Grandmaster had repeatedly urged him to return to Tanas Academy, and the reason why she was still here was largely because of Lee Anmin.


    Lee Anmin was a villain, he would never be satisfied, and she had to expose Lee Anmin''s conspiracy!


    Now that Saint Silkworm could see Lee Anmin''s true face, it was not a good thing.


    "Father! Are you going to let this beggar off just like that! " Li Shu Ran asked unwillingly.


    Li An Min''s heart sank when he heard the word beggar. He raised his head to look at Saint Silkworm Yuan Zun''s face, and sure enough, the other party''s face was already as black as the bottom of a pot, faintly showing signs of being angry.


    "Shut up!" Lee Anmin swung his big hand and slapped Li Shu Ran''s face.


    Li Shu Ran held onto half of his face as he didn''t understand why his father, who had always been extremely loving to him, would hit her today!


    "Dad, you actually hit me?" Li Shu Ran glared with dissatisfaction as he spoke.


    "Am I wrong? "He''s clearly just a ¡­" Li Shu Ran still hadn''t become aware of the severity of the matter as she pointed at Jun Qianyan and angrily said.


    Li An Min didn''t wait for Li Shu Ran to finish the last three words before he knocked him out.


    For some unknown reason, in his heart, Li An Min always felt that as long as Li Shu Ran said the last three words, Saint Silkworm Master Yuan would definitely make his move.


    "It''s because I''m not strict with my discipline that I have disturbed the two of you today." Lee Anmin said with a fawning smile.


    Saint Silkworm only coldly opened his mouth, "Scram!"


    Only after the departure of Lee An-min and Li Shu Ran did Jun Qianyin''s ears feel a little more peaceful.


    "Ah, Mo Jiu, it''s all my fault that I didn''t see the person clearly before!" Saint Silkworm said with a face full of shame.


    "Oh yeah, Mo Jiu left a letter for me to give you."


    Saint Silkworm Elemental Sovereign. After pausing for a moment, he recalled the envelope Di Mo Jiu had given him before he left.


    The Ninth Master had left a letter for him?


    Jun Qiyan froze for a moment, then remembered that she hadn''t seen Di Mo Jiu for quite some time.


    "The envelope is on the table in my room. You can go in and get it." Senior Saint Silkworm stroked his somewhat white beard as he looked at Jun Qiyan with a probing gaze.


    He had a nagging feeling that this brat was not ordinary. He was someone that the Pavilion Master of the Divine Arts Pavilion took to heart, so how could he possibly be an ordinary person ¡­


    Who could be called "Demon God Emperor" for so long?


    "Alright, I understand." Jun Qiyan nodded, not knowing what to feel.

 C127

    As expected, when Jun Qiyan arrived at the Saint Silkworm''s room, he saw an envelope on the table.


    Jun Qiyan did not know what kind of mood he had when he opened the envelope.


    After opening the envelope, only a few large words entered his eyes. If there was anything, he would leave temporarily. There was no need to think about it.


    Di Mo Jiu''s calligraphy was quite impressive, and his flamboyant calligraphy looked really good, but Jun Qiyan was not in the mood to appreciate it.


    His heart was filled with an unspeakable bitterness.


    Ever since he had teleported to the Eastern Profound Continent, Di Mo Jiu had always been by his side. But now, he didn''t even know what the other party was up to.


    He didn''t even know where to look. It was unknown whether he would meet her again after this parting ¡­


    "Whew." Jun Qianyan let out a long breath, and her emotions suddenly became incomparably complicated.


    On the other side, Lee Anmin was not as honest as he looked on the surface.


    On the contrary, after he returned to his own residence, he started to calculate how he should deal with Saint Silkworm.


    "Humph!" That old thing, since he is heartless to me, then don''t blame me for being unrighteous! " Lee Anmin slapped the back of his chair.


    A hint of viciousness flashed in his eyes.


    "Father! How are we going to take revenge on that old thing? And that beggar, I must make him die a horrible death. His skin, his tendons! "


    At this point, Li Shu Ran had already woken up. Thinking of his humiliation, Li Shu Ran''s face contorted.


    He didn''t even try to hide his hatred.


    "I still want to buy him to be a duck in a brothel!"


    "How do I take revenge ¡­" Even though we can''t touch him, there''s still someone who can take care of that old fellow! "


    After being together for so many years, he knew exactly what the enemy and weakness of Saint Silkworm was. Just as he was about to make his preparations and execute his plan, a black shadow suddenly broke into the Li family''s gate!


    "Who are you?!" Lee Anmin looked nervously at his black shadow. That person was wearing a black cloak that covered his face. However, the aura around him was so strong that Lee Anmin had never felt it before.


    "Someone come!" There''s an assassin! "


    Cold sweat covered Lee Anmin''s forehead. He kept knocking on the door and then attracting the guards outside to come in.


    The moment Lee Anmin shouted, a cold wind blew the door open. The yard that was littered with corpses outside was directly in front of Lee Anmin''s eyes.


    "You, just who are you!"


    Lee Anmin wanted to try and stall for time, but the other side didn''t even give him the chance. In a split-second, before Lee Anmin could even react to what happened, he had already fallen straight to the ground.


    His eyes were wide open, and the fear in them was terrifying.


    After doing all that, the man in black shifted his gaze to the terrified Li Shu Ran.


    At this moment, Li Shu Ran was already delirious. She was completely unable to accept what had happened before her.


    Why? Why had he gone from being a high and mighty young lady of the Li family to an orphan?


    Li Shu Ran didn''t understand, but he understood that ever since he had offended Yin Mu Jiu, he had always been at a disadvantage ¡­


    When the man in black saw that Lee Anmin was dead, he took off his cloak.


    When Li Shu Ran clearly saw the appearance of the person in front of him, he immediately became insane.


    That person was none other than Di Mo Jiu.


    Li Shu Ran had no way to accept all of this. The main reason behind his actions and what happened after that was none other than Di Mo Jiu.


    And Di Mo Jiu had annihilated the entire Lee family because of that man?


    Di Mo Jiu, on the other hand, didn''t care about what was going on with him. To him, there was only his own people and outsiders.


    Li Shu Ran was obviously an outsider, not to mention that Li Shu Ran had repeatedly challenged his bottom line by hurting Jun Qiyan. If he could keep Li Shu Ran alive like this, then he wouldn''t be Di Mo Jiu!


    After settling the matter with the Li family, Di Mo Jiu had no intention of staying here any longer. With a flash, he disappeared from where he was.


    Just like that, the matter regarding Saint Silkworm Master Yuan came to an end.


    It had been almost four months since Jun Qiyan had returned to Tynes Academy. He was the first to arrive at Grandmaster Blue-Lineage''s mansion to report in.


    "Disciple is late!" Jun Qiyan said apologetically as she walked over to stand in front of Grandmaster Blue-bound.


    Qing Duo looked at the person in front of him and hurriedly said, "It''s good that you''re back. It''s a good thing that you didn''t hold up your business."


    Grandmaster Green Edge paused for a moment, then continued, "There will be a competition of alchemists in three days'' time. All the elites of the four academies will be here to participate."


    Even though Grandmaster Qing Yun hadn''t finished speaking, Jun Qiyan had already guessed the meaning behind his words.


    "You want me to represent Tanas Academy?" Jun Qiyan asked tentatively.


    Qing Duo smiled and nodded. Jun Qianyan lightly furrowed her brows, "This should be a competition. Aren''t all of them seniors who are about to graduate? I''m just a freshman ¡­"


    Jun Qiyan shook his head. He had no idea how talented he was since the four great academies were home to the elites of the East Xuan Continent. He had no idea that he would be able to distinguish himself from the crowd.


    "We don''t have any precedents here for a freshman to attend, but you''re different. You''re the most talented student I''ve seen in the past few years."


    Jun Qiyan was at a loss as to what to do.


    "Even if you can''t win the championship, there are benefits in having a look at the alchemy skills of the seniors."


    When Jun Qiyan saw that his youth had invited him three times over, he didn''t think it was appropriate for him to reject.


    "Right, do you have an apothecary qualification here?"


    Green Edge seemed to have thought of something as he turned to ask Jun Qiyan.


    Jun Qiyan was stunned. What was this apothecary qualification card? You even need a proof of qualifications to refine pills? It had really been a long time since they last saw each other!


    Jun Qiyan complained in his heart.


    When Qing Yun saw Jun Qiyan''s expression, he immediately knew that the situation wasn''t looking good. He looked at her suspiciously.


    "Don''t tell me you haven''t taken the apothecary qualification test?!"


    Jun Qianyan very honestly shook her head. She didn''t even know what that thing of his was, let alone if it was there ¡­


    Seeing this, the expression on the Green Edge became even more strange.


    There was probably no one in the East Xuan Continent who didn''t know about apothecary proof.


    As an extremely talented alchemist, Jun Qiyan did not know about the existence of this thing...


    Qing Yun took a deep breath and started to spread Jun Qiyan''s information on alchemist qualifications. "An alchemist''s qualifications is a must for every alchemist. It can prove your worth."

 C128

    "Apothecaries'' proof of qualifications is divided into different grades. From the entry-level apothecary, beginner apothecary, Tier 1 apothecary, Tier 2 apothecary, and finally to the Tier 9 apothecary, each tier has their own emblem."


    He took out a medallion that was glowing with a golden light from his chest pocket.


    "This is the emblem of a grade-4 apothecary." After the meeting at Green Edge, a proud expression flashed across his face.


    There was no other Tier 4 apothecary in the entire East Peak Mainland!


    "You don''t have the Alchemist Badge, I have no way to bring you to the Alchemist Competition ¡­" Difficulties began to rise in the Green Edge.


    On the other hand, Jun Qiyan didn''t think much of it. If he didn''t want to go, then so be it.


    "You can go back to your dorm first, I''ll think of a way to get you an Alchemist Emblem." The Green Edge Grandmaster thought for a moment before replying. Jun Qiyan''s current strength was definitely that of a Tier 1 alchemist.


    If he were to perform beyond his usual limits, it would not be a problem for a Tier 2 Pill Refiner!


    However, if he wanted to obtain the badge, he would have to start from the first section ¡­


    They obviously didn''t have that much time to spare ¡­


    Jun Qiyan nodded. Upon hearing the word ''dorm'', Jun Qiyan couldn''t help but think of Ye Changsheng and the others.


    I wonder how that brat Feng Chenlang is doing.


    Just as Jun Qiyan returned to her dorm room, just as she stepped through the door, multicolored ribbons fell from the sky.


    "Welcome back ¡ª" Feng Chen Lang whistled, looking extremely excited.


    The other three were very calm, however. Ye Changsheng had a faint smile on his lips, and Jing Jubai was leaning against the bed with his arms crossed, the corner of his mouth also carrying a curve.


    Only Gu Yao on the side could not help but roll his eyes.


    Jun Qiyan didn''t like the liveliness, nor did she like such grand ceremonies.


    Now that he was wrapped in colorful ribbons, he felt extremely irritated.


    Seal! Dust! "Waves!" Jun Qiyan was stumped for words as he gnashed his teeth.


    When Feng Chenlang saw Jun Qiyan''s reaction, he inwardly cursed in his heart!


    This brat was different from ordinary people. Shouldn''t he be incomparably touched, hugging her and crying about what had happened in such a long time?!


    What the hell was going on in his eyes?!


    "Cough cough, it suddenly occurred to me that I still had some matters to attend to. You two chat first, I''m going out for a while ¡­"


    Before Feng Chen could finish his words, he was pulled over by Jun Qiyan''s arm and violently beaten.


    Feng Chen Lang: "Hey hey, don''t slap my face. Brother still has a bunch of girls waiting for me ¡­"


    Jun Qiyan: "¡­"


    Although Jun Qianyan had said that he wanted to teach Feng Chenlang a lesson, the two of them were clearly playing around, and Ye Changsheng and Ji Bai followed along.


    "Mo Jiu, what have you been up to recently?!" Feng Chen Lang felt the dense spirit energy around Jun Qianyan''s body, and realized that he was no longer Jun Qianyan''s match!


    This kind of knowledge was unacceptable to Feng Chen Lang! What the heck was he doing! This brat was clearly an alchemist, how could he be stronger than me in terms of cultivation ¡­


    The most important thing was, although the opponent''s level had not increased, the toughness of his body had already reached a heaven-defying level!


    Gu Yao and Ye Changsheng were also stunned. They were very clear about Feng Chenlang''s strength.


    The two of them looked at each other, and simultaneously started to attack Jun Qiyan.


    Jun Qianyan was caught unprepared. In the beginning, he was still at a disadvantage, but gradually, Gu Yao and Ye Changsheng felt some pressure!


    What kind of monster was this?!


    "Mo Jiu..." Where have you been these past few days? " Ye Changsheng found this extremely unbelievable.


    Jun Qiyan blinked as she thought about everything that had happened to her in the past few days.


    "Saint Silkworm?" Feng Chen Lang cried out, "Mo Jiu, I said your luck is too damn good!


    The guidance of Saint Silkworm Origin Sentinel was something that many people would not be able to get even if they wanted to! How many people were there in the Green Edge Grandmaster''s world? They didn''t even dare to think about it! This brat had acknowledged a master, and was actually buying one for free?!


    "That''s right, it''s your treat. You''re the one treating tonight!"


    The smile in the depths of his eyes became even more obvious as he poked Jun Qiyan with his finger.


    "That''s right, that''s right. You''re the one treating me. I still have to go to the brothel. There are still a lot of girls waiting for me to comfort them!" Feng Chenlang immediately expressed his agreement with Jing and Ji Bai''s words.


    Jun Qiyan laughed as he silently cursed, "You evil merchant!"


    The atmosphere around the four of them was very lively. Just as the four of them were about to leave for the restaurant.


    The door was pushed open at an inopportune moment.


    An ordinary and unremarkable face appeared in front of the four of them, causing Jun Laige''s heart to tremble. But then, Jun Qiyan''s heart turned cold.


    It wasn''t him ¡­


    Jun Qiyan knew very well in her heart that this person was not the Ninth Master of her family, but a character drawn by the Emperor Mo Jiu''s illusions ¡­


    "Uh, Mo Jiu, do you want to come to the restaurant with us?"


    Ye Changsheng was the first to break the awkwardness in the air as he asked this question.


    Before the other party could react, Jun Qiyan was the first to speak.


    "Don''t bring him, it''s just the few of us!" Jun Qiyan said indifferently.


    His words caused the other three to be shocked. The relationship between Jun Qiyan and Di Mo Jiu couldn''t be clearer.


    "The few of you, this is ¡­" Feng Chen Lang thought about it for a long time, but still didn''t know how to describe it.


    Di Mo Jiu casually glanced at the four people before returning to his own bed.


    "Let''s go." Jun Qiyan didn''t want to continue to look at that face. This was probably the feeling he had when he saw that face.


    After dinner, he didn''t go to the brothel because Jun Qiyan was still competing in the competition the next day. She wasn''t suitable for sleeping late.


    Early the next morning, Jun Qiyan was summoned by Grandmaster Bluesea.


    "Mo Jiu, here is your apothecary qualification certificate." Blue-Edge hesitated for a moment before sending a badge made of iron over.


    In the end, Jun Qiyan had sent him a badge. When placed under the sunlight, the dark gray badge reflected a cold light; it looked really pretty.


    "The only thing I can do now is to get you an entry level alchemist qualification certificate." After the Green Edge Grandmaster had finished speaking, he raised his head to look at the expression on Jun Qiyan''s face, as if he was afraid that the other party would be dissatisfied.


    One had to know that if one were to enter the Alchemist Competition with this inducted apothecary qualification certificate, he would definitely be ridiculed by countless others ¡­


    After all, that was the only thing that had happened before.


    "It doesn''t matter." Jun Qiyan smiled as if he didn''t care. This item was useless to him, and he only wanted it to avoid unnecessary trouble.


    Grandmaster Green Edge did not expect that Jun Qiyan would actually be so calm. He nodded his head in satisfaction.

 C129

    After going through many trials and tribulations, Jun Qianyan and Grandmaster Qing Yun finally arrived at the Alchemist Grand Meeting.


    The Green Edge Grandmaster was an extremely famous person. As soon as the two of them entered the door, they were surrounded by countless people.


    "This humble one has missed my chance of meeting you, Grandmaster Blue-Edge."


    An old man with a white beard appeared in front of Jun Qiyan and Grandmaster Qing Yun.


    Behind the old man, there was also a woman around the same age as Jun Qiyan. The woman had a proud expression on her face, like a proud little peacock.


    There was a silver badge on the woman''s chest. Jun Qiyan knew that this was the symbol of a Tier 2 Pill Refiner.


    "Elder Su is too courteous." He did not have any change in his attitude towards the other party just because he was an elder of the Alchemist Competition.


    Elder Su, who was used to being pursued and flattered by others, was rather displeased when faced with the nonchalant attitude of Grandmaster Qing Lian. His previous enthusiasm had also disappeared.


    He was the same level as Grandmaster Bluemoon, but the other side always gave him the illusion of superiority.


    This caused Elder Su to feel extremely unhappy.


    "Grandmaster Greencloud, who is this little brother beside you?" Elder Su cast his gaze towards Jun Qiyan.


    The gazes of the others also landed on Jun Qiyan, but Jun Qianyan did not become nervous because of it. Instead, she gave a friendly smile to the crowd.


    However, everyone''s attention was on Jun Qiyan''s badge. Initiated apothecary?


    Everyone had a strange expression on their faces.


    "Those who are able to attend the Alchemist Competition are the elites of each academy, and each of their spots are extremely valuable"


    No one would want to bring useless people here.


    "This is my last disciple, Yin Muju." Facing Elder Su''s doubt, Master Green Edge replied without even thinking.


    The crowd was stunned upon hearing this. Most people did not dare to make a sound out of respect for the Green Edge Grandmaster, but Elder Su did not care about this at all.


    He was very happy in his heart, but on the surface he still pretended to be surprised and asked, "Greatluck, is there no one left in Tanasha ¡­" "How could you accept someone with such poor talent to be your last disciple ¡­"


    If he were to say that Jun Qianyan had reached the level of a second tier alchemist, the crowd would not believe him. Moreover, there was no lack of mocking him. What was even more annoying was that someone would come up to challenge Jun Qiyan.


    "So what if his talent is poor? If he''s willing to learn, I''ll teach him."


    After thinking it over again and again, Grandmaster Greencloud chose to conceal it. He replied with a smile that didn''t reach his eyes, "In your opinion, you''ve actually accepted someone who thinks you''re extremely talented as your disciple?"


    As Master Cyan Edge spoke, his eyes darted a glance at the woman behind Elder Su, seemingly hinting that Elder Su should introduce the person.


    As expected, after hearing Grandmaster Qing Yun''s praises, Elder Su grew even larger. While stroking his beard, he laughed out loud a few times, then replied leisurely: "I''m not sure if her talent is extremely high, I only know that not long after she entered my sect, she already has the talent to become a second grade alchemist."


    As Elder Su spoke, he glanced arrogantly at Jun Qianyan, before shifting his gaze back to the woman behind him. After exchanging a glance, he gave a tacit smile.


    When the woman heard Elder Su''s praise, she swelled up. Her chin was slightly raised, and her eyes were filled with disdain when she looked at Jun Qianyan.


    "Yes, I saw it."


    The Green Edge Grandmaster secretly rolled his eyes as he replied perfunctorily. This person really wasn''t afraid of pride, he was only afraid of not being proud enough!


    "Come here, Xing, come here." Elder Su smiled and waved to the girl behind him.


    The lady was also very obedient and obedient in front of Elder Su. Upon hearing Elder Su calling out to her, she immediately revealed a smile, and leisurely walked to Elder Su''s side, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with him. After glancing at Grandmaster Qing Yun and Jun Feiyan, she smiled gently, but did not say anything.


    "Come, let me introduce you."


    Seeing the girl act so gracefully, Elder Su smiled so much that his eyes narrowed, leaving only a slit. He smiled proudly and said: "This is my grandson, Su An Yun."


    "Greetings, Grandmaster Bluemoon."


    Su An Yun naturally took over Elder Su''s words, and with a slight smile towards Grandmaster Qing Yun, he obediently called out.


    Even though she was speaking politely, Jun Qianyan and Grandmaster Qing Yun could clearly hear her words. Su An Yun''s tone was not respectful in the slightest. Not only did he not place Jun Qianyan in his eyes, even Grandmaster Qing Yun did not take her seriously.


    Jun Qiyan secretly glanced at Grandmaster Blueblood. Sure enough, his complexion didn''t look too good either.


    However, since Su An Yun had taken the initiative to speak, the Green Edge Grandmaster could only nod his head and give a heavy "En" to vent the dissatisfaction in his heart.


    No wonder he had ridiculed Jun Qianyan''s low talent and flattered Su Anyun, who turned out to be Elder Su''s biological grandson!


    Jun Qiyan finally understood what was going on, and a look of disdain appeared in her eyes.


    "Alright, just a round and it''ll be fine."


    Elder Su didn''t seem to be too happy to see Jun Qianyan. He narrowed his eyes and secretly gave Su An Yun a glance, then said:


    "Green-blooded, we haven''t seen each other for quite a while. Why don''t we go over and sit down for a cup of tea? We can reminisce about the past and let these two youngsters have a good chat, right?"


    It was not the first time that Grandmaster Qing Yun had met Elder Su, so how could he not understand what he was trying to say? When he recalled that Su An Yun was the grandson and daughter of Elder Su, he frowned and did not dare to agree, which seemed to imply that Jun Qiyan should think of a way to get him out of this situation as soon as possible.


    However, it was clear that Jun Qiyan had misunderstood the meaning of Grandmaster Qing Yun''s words. When she saw him looking at her in such a manner, she thought that it was because of her own existence that he was unable to speak properly.


    "Grandmaster Qing Yun and Elder Su have not seen each other for a long time. It is natural to reminisce about the past. When Mu Kui remembered that she still has something to take care of, she decided not to disturb him."


    After Jun Qiyan finished speaking, he was about to leave, but he almost spat out blood in anger.


    How long have we been together? Why don''t we even have this little bit of understanding?


    "Hey, wait a minute!"


    Seeing that Jun Qianyan was about to flee, a trace of ridicule flashed through Su An''s eyes. He turned around to look at Elder Su, and after receiving Elder Su''s approval, he quickly caught up with her.


    "What else can you do?" If you don''t go with me, you might as well save yourself the trouble of not knowing how to deal with it properly. "

 C130

    Su An Yun seemed to have no end in sight. He kept talking endlessly into the ears of Jun Qiyan.


    Jun Qiyan simply stopped walking and pressed the person beside her against the wall. With a single hand, she spoke with a devilish voice, "Why is it that young miss Su seems very interested in this piece of trash ¡­"


    "It''s not convenient for me to go to the toilet by myself ¡­ Since young miss Su wants to go with me, then why not accept my request? "


    Jun Qiyan deliberately blew on the side of Su An''s ear, trying not to make things too obvious.


    Su An Yun''s small face turned red. She was so angry that she was about to slap Jun Qianyan.


    "You!"


    Su An Yun was Jun Qianyan''s opponent. Jun Qianyan effortlessly held Su An''s hand, and the smile on her face became more and more obvious.


    "Is young miss Su offering herself?" Jun Qiyan said with a smile.


    "Shameless!" Su An Yun was a pampered young miss, so he had never heard of such vulgar words before.


    He could only say the word ''shameless'' after a long period of silence.


    Jun Qiyan whistled as she watched Su An Yun run away. The smile on the corner of her mouth became even more frivolous.


    The first round of the competition quickly began.


    The rules of the competition were very simple. The people who wanted to know the names of the herbs and the people who answered the most would be given priority in the second round.


    Nearly a thousand people were competing intensely. Apothecaries had to be 100% familiar with the herbs in order to accurately name the herbs under such a tense situation.


    The first type of herb was the Nine Dragons Grass, a more common type. As soon as Jun Feiyan pressed the button before her lower body, a loud and clear female voice rang out.


    "Nine Dragons Grass."


    Jun Qiyan looked towards the source of the voice. It was none other than Su Anyun, who had purposely picked a fight with him today.


    After that, Su An Yun was one step ahead of the others, but this situation did not occur again when Su An Yun firmly sat in the first place.


    The corners of Jun Qianyan''s mouth raised in a curve, this so-called Elder Su was really stupid, his hands and feet were so obvious, was he afraid that others would not know that he was using his power?!


    That Elder Su must have long since gone easy on his own granddaughter ¡­


    No matter how peerless a genius Su Anyun was, she would never be one step ahead of everyone else. After all, it all depended on one''s hand speed!


    In the second half of the competition, he clearly felt that someone was intentionally targeting him. If he wanted to answer the questions, he would be beaten by a few people.


    Jun Qiyan didn''t even need to think to know who had written it!


    The match ended very quickly. Since the first half was basically Su Anyun''s home game, the other players'' scores were not very good.


    Jun Qiyan also just barely passed the admission line.


    After the competition was over, Jun Qiyan left the Alchemist Association and thought about what had happened today. The expression on her face couldn''t help but turn colder.


    Su An Yun was obviously trying to set a trap for himself. Jun Qianyan was sure that in the second round, they would certainly make a lot of moves!


    As she thought of this, Jun Qiyan clenched her hands tightly. She decided to take a walk around the black market and buy some medicinal herbs.


    Black market.


    When Jun Qiyan arrived at the black market, he didn''t linger among the stalls as usual. Instead, he went to a famous large shop in the black market ¨C Hundred Herb Hall.


    Hundred Herbs Pavilion was the biggest herbal medicine store in the Eastern Xuan Continent to date. There were too many herbs inside.


    The Hundred Herb Hall was still overcrowded today. In order to not attract attention, Jun Qianyan had specially changed into an ordinary set of clothes and came to Hundred Herb Hall.


    As soon as Jun Qiyan entered the Hundred Herb Hall, the waiter arrived first. He asked with a fawning smile, "What do you need?"


    When Jun Qiyan heard this, she indifferently swept a glance at that person and couldn''t help but sigh in her heart.


    If he were to go anywhere else with this outfit, he would definitely be called a beggar and then be chased away.


    However, the Hundred Herb Hall didn''t look down on them.


    However, Jun Qiyan didn''t know that anyone who knew where the black market was would not be an ordinary person. The more ordinary his appearance was, the more it indicated that this person''s status was not simple.


    "Give me a hundred of the herbs on the list."


    Jun Qiyan handed over the prepared list to the man.


    The waiter''s eyes lit up as he received the list of names. In his heart, he felt that he had not misjudged Jun Qiyan, and his attitude became more respectful towards her.


    Jun Qiyan had more than ten thousand medicinal herbs in this batch. Although they were all of low quality, their value couldn''t be underestimated.


    "We need to transfer the herbs from the warehouse as the number of herbs you are looking for is too large." The waiter said.


    Jun Qiyan nodded in understanding.


    After the waiter had left, Jun Qiyan was walking around with a bored expression on her face.


    The Black Market of the Hundred Herbs Pavilion was an infamous place. The area it took up was terrifyingly large as well. The walls were covered with a thin layer of gold with special techniques.


    When Jun Qiyan saw this, he couldn''t help but inwardly click his tongue in amazement. Even the Imperial Palace wouldn''t be as extravagant as this ¡­.


    Not only was the Hundred Herb Hall selling herbs, there were also a few pills.


    As the pills were too precious, only the second floor had some low-grade pills. As for the third floor, it was not open to the public. Only the pavilion master of the Hundred Herb Hall had the right to enter.


    Jun Qiyan glanced at them a few times, but she wasn''t too interested. She could make these pills with her eyes closed.


    Just as Jun Qiyan was about to leave, the sound of miserable screams suddenly rang out from not far away, along with the sound of glass shattering.


    Jun Qiyan frowned slightly, not intending to interfere.


    However, when he focused his gaze, he discovered that the figure seemed somewhat familiar ¡­


    Jun Qiyan gave a closer look and discovered that the person was none other than the person he had not seen for a long time, Lin Hu!


    She hadn''t seen him ever since she subdued the Soul Devouring Flame ¡­


    Her brother seemed to have saved Lin Hu''s sister, Lin Yun.


    Since they were familiar with each other, and they were on the same side, there was no reason for Jun Qiyan to not save him.


    Jun Qiyan did not rashly make a move. It was as if she had hidden herself within the crowd and figured out a general idea of what had happened.


    The person who had a dispute with Lin Hu was a youth who had a shifty appearance.


    Jun Qiyan had also heard the cause of the dispute. The youth was reporting that Lin Hu had stolen pills from the Hundred Herbs Pavilion.


    Hundred Herbs Pavilion had an unwritten rule: customers within the Hundred Herbs Pavilion could freely check their medicinal herbs. Pills were not monitored by anyone, which resulted in people pouring them into their stores.


    Thus, the Hundred Herb Hall made another set of rules: anyone who reported a thief would be rewarded with a generous reward.


    "You said you didn''t steal this pill?" "Tell me why this pill is with you!" The young man narrowed his eyes and said in an aggressive manner.


    Lin Hu was just a rough man so naturally he was not as good at speaking as the other party!


    He said "I" several times in a row, but he did not know how to defend himself. His resolute face turned red from anger. When had he ever encountered such a thing!?


    As the surrounding public opinion became more and more disadvantageous to Lin Hu, the expression on Jun Qiyan''s face became colder.


    She knew Lin Hu''s character, so she believed that Lin Hu would not do such a thing, so the problem must be the young man!


    Jun Qianyan instantly understood the cause and effect of the matter.


    It was likely that the young man had taken a fancy to the reward for reporting this ¡­ That was why he purposely framed them!


    "I said it!" This was not stolen by laozi! " Lin Hu was angered to the point his eyes turned red as he roared.


    "What!?" You got angry from embarrassment just because I caught you, Little Plaits? " The young man was not afraid of Lin Hu and was secretly happy at Lin Hu''s reaction. In this situation, the angrier the other was the better for him.


    "Alright, take this person away!" The supervisor at the side had an ugly expression on his face as he looked at Lin Hu with disdain. With a wave of his hand, all of the hidden forehead guards immediately rushed out.


    "Hold on!" Just as the guards were about to come in contact with Lin Hu, Jun Qiyan suddenly spoke up to stop them.

 C131

    The crisp sound caused the surrounding noise to abruptly stop.


    Everyone looked at Jun Qiyan with strange expressions.


    Lin Hu also looked at Jun Qiyan in astonishment as he did not expect that someone would actually speak up for him in such a situation. In addition to his astonishment, Lin Hu was also deeply moved.


    That supervisor first looked at Jun Qiyan with displeasure. When he saw her true appearance, the displeasure on his face instantly disappeared, and was replaced by a fawning smile.


    As Jun Qiyan had ordered 10,000 herbs, the supervisor immediately recognized him.


    He quickly asked, "What business do you have with me?"


    Jun Qiyan shot a glance at the supervisor, and then calmly said, "He didn''t steal the pill."


    Once these words were spoken, the people in the surroundings began to discuss among themselves. Most of them were guessing at Jun Qiyan''s true identity.


    The person who was able to be treated like this by the Hundred Herb Hall''s manager must be a very important person.


    The youth saw Jun Qianyan stand up and silently cursed her for being nosy. At the same time, he was also a bit flustered.


    "You said that he didn''t steal the pills?" What evidence do you have?! How can you convince us with just your words alone? " The young man shouted in dissatisfaction.


    With just a few words, the public opinion began to lean towards which youth.


    The corner of Jun Qiyan''s mouth curved up in a cold smile. She didn''t make a sound, but her eyes looked as if she was looking at a clown.


    "What if you are in cahoots with this man? "This is a grade-2 pill forged by Grandmaster Qing Yun. It''s priceless!" The young man hooted.


    Master Bluemoon?


    When Jun Qiyan heard the name of her master, she couldn''t help but look at the pill a few more times before rolling her eyes in disdain.


    That pill was indeed a Tier 2 pill! However, this kind of medicinal pill was usually made for one''s own consumption of sugar beans ¡­


    He had dozens, or even hundreds, of them in his Spatial Ring ¡­


    "That''s right, I''m indeed with him ¡­" Jun Qiyan winked at Lin Hu, signalling him to remain silent.


    "Ha, you admit it. I think you''re just here to cheat us!" The young man didn''t expect her to admit it at all, but this was good as well. She didn''t need to waste time trying to explain further.


    When everyone heard the words of the four masters of the Green Edge Grandmaster, in addition to the fact that Jun Qianyan had admitted her identity, their complexions changed again and again.


    One had to know that the words'' Grandmaster Qing Yun ''was an authoritative existence in the alchemist industry! In the market, it was even harder to find a pill that could earn thousands of gold.


    It could be said that they were both Rank 2 pills, but for those that were refined by a Green Edge Grandmaster, their prices would increase by more than tenfold!


    Lin Hu did not think that this pill would actually be refined by a Green Edge Grandmaster. Listening to the conversation of the surrounding people, his face could not help but turn pale.


    Jun Qiyan looked at the young man with a slightly amused expression. He had fallen to the ground and yet he still hadn''t picked up a single item. Each and every one of them had treated this item as a rare treasure.


    This feeling was not ordinary!


    The supervisor was weighing the pros and cons of the pill being refined between Jun Qiyan and Grandmaster Qing Yun, as he wanted to differentiate between the pros and cons.


    In the end, the other end of the scale was still inclined in the direction of the Grandmaster Bluemoon.


    "You said that he didn''t steal the pill, but you still have to prove it ¡­" The supervisor looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated.


    Jun Qiyan nodded and smiled. "I naturally have evidence."


    When the young man heard this, he couldn''t help but panic a bit. Then he calmed himself down and secretly comforted himself. The other party was only trying to scare him. It was all for the sake of exposing himself.


    Lin Hu was startled, his heart couldn''t help but feel strange, even he didn''t know when this pill would appear on his body, how could the other party know ¡­


    "If I''m not wrong, this should be a low Grade Two Spirit Pill, right ¡­" Jun Qiyan lightly said. His lips curled up into a disdainful smile as he arrogantly said:


    "How could I fancy this kind of trash?"


    As the sound of his voice faded, Jun Qiyan took out several dozen Tier 3 Spirit Gathering Pills from the spatial space.


    He was the last disciple of the Grandmaster Qing Yun and he was an extremely talented alchemist. He would never lack pills.


    The crowd was silent for a moment, then burst into an uproar.


    "Am I seeing things!?" That''s a Tier 3 Spirit Gathering Pill! "


    "Hurry up and pinch me! Am I dreaming? In my lifetime, I''ve actually met a Grade 3 pill! Heavens!" Even if I die, I''ll still be perfect. "


    Faced with the shocked gazes of the crowd, the young man''s face turned deathly pale. He didn''t think that the other party''s background would be so great that he would take out a grade-3 pill!


    This time, there was no need for him to explain. With so many Tier 3 pills, would the other party even bother with Tier 2 pills?


    The young man wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape, but he was caught red-handed by Jun Qiyan.


    The supervisor was so shocked that he couldn''t even speak. His heart trembled. He never thought that the other party would actually take out a grade-3 pill!


    One had to know that the only people that could take out a grade three medicinal pill so far was the Green Edge Grandmaster and an extremely small number of alchemists! Of course, some old monsters that were hiding outside the mountain were excluded.


    "Hehehe ¡­" The supervisor awkwardly smiled. He wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, his face full of fear.


    "Do you still think that he stole the pill?"


    Jun Qiyan looked around, and no one dared to speak a word.


    "Sir, this was our negligence ¡­" The supervisor quickly admitted his mistake.


    After which, he looked at the shivering young man with a vicious gaze.


    If not for this kid''s lie, how could he possibly offend such a powerful figure!


    The supervisor angrily thought, and pushed all the blame onto this person.


    "Men, take him away!" The supervisor said with a dark expression as he glared at the person on the ground.


    Jun Qiyan expressionlessly looked at the young man who was being dragged away by the guards.


    Lin Hu looked at Jun Qianyan with both gratitude and fear. He did not understand why such a powerful character would help him. He didn''t think that the other party was doing it out of good intentions!


    After the farce ended, the waiter who had gone to the warehouse to collect medicinal herbs had returned.


    At this moment, he still did not know what had just happened.


    "Master, here are the herbs you requested." With a fawning expression, the waiter sent the storage ring in his hand over.


    In the end, Jun Qiyan''s ring of consciousness probed around for a while, and then nodded.


    "This Spatial Ring is for you. I hope that you don''t mind a mere small gift." The supervisor said carefully.


    Even though a Spatial Ring was precious, what was a mere Alchemist with so many bottles of pills worth?


    Upon seeing this, Jun Qiyan did not stand on ceremony. After receiving the storage ring, she pulled Lin Hu out of the Hundred Herb Pavilion.


    Even after Lin Hu left the Hundred Herb Hall, he still felt a little dizzy. Everything that just happened seemed to be like a dream ¡­ He felt like he was saved by a pill master, and he didn''t even know that person ¡­


    "Thank you, master, for saving us this time!" "I have no way to repay you, the only way is ¡­" Lin Hu cupped his hands together with a face full of gratitude.


    "Come on, come on, don''t be so polite."


    Jun Qiyan waved his hand, interrupting the other party''s words.


    "Your life was already mine the last time. It''s useless giving it to me again."


    Lin Hu heard this and froze.


    "It''s me." Jun Qiyan found it funny. She looked at the man in front of her as he spoke. The moment his voice landed, he took off the mask on his face, and his voice had changed to Yin Muju''s image.


    "It''s you!" Lin Hu excitedly said.


    Since the last time they were here, when they were separated, Lin Hu''s heart was filled with guilt. He clearly said that his life was the other party''s but he could not find his master.


    "This time, this subordinate will definitely follow this master well!" Lin Hu suddenly knelt down on one knee with a solemn look on his face.


    In his heart, he could not help but be shocked by Jun Qiyan''s recent change.


    Back when he and Jun Qiyan were in the Howling Forest, their strength was far inferior to his ¡­


    However, in less than half a year''s time, the young man in front of him had already become an existence he looked up to. His cultivation had made him increasingly unable to see through him.


    Jun Qianyan didn''t know whether to laugh or cry. "Alright, alright. Get up quickly. Anyway, why are you here?" Jun Qiyan asked with a frown on his face.


    The Blizzard Mercenary Group was far from the black market so logically, Lin Hu should not have come to this kind of place unless he said something.


    "Master is like this ¡­" Lin Hu wanted to explain why he was here but was interrupted by Jun Feiyan.


    "You can call me Muji from now on." Jun Qiyan hurriedly said. To be addressed as master by a sturdy man who was more than 1.8 meters tall ¡­ How weird.


    "No way!" Lin Hu rejected without even thinking.


    Jun Qiyan didn''t know whether to laugh or cry when she saw their intense reactions.


    "There is a difference in status, we cannot break the rules!" Lin Hu said. Jun Qiyan rubbed her forehead as she took a step back and said, "From now on you can call me Young Noble."

 C132

    "This is an order!"


    Jun Qiyan had a stern expression on his face as he stared at Lin Hu, pretending to be serious.


    Lin Hu was frightened into a jump, he did not dare to disobey Jun Qiyan''s orders and could only nod his head.


    "Did something happen over there? Why would I come to a place like the black market? "


    Jun Qiyan asked with some worry as he put away his serious expression and slightly creased his brows.


    Lin Hu let out a deep sigh, his expression revealing his helplessness, "A brother from the Blizzard Mercenary Company. In order to save my life, he suffered heavy injuries and now I need a Second Order pill ¡­"


    Speaking of his brother, Lin Hu couldn''t help but feel his eyes turn red.


    If it was a normal symptom, a Tier 1 pill should be more than enough, but she had just become a Tier 2 Pill Refiner and did not have a 100% confidence in being able to cure Lin Hu''s brother.


    "Your brother... Where is it now? "


    Jun Qiyan thought for a moment before asking softly.


    If the distance was too far she wouldn''t be able to do anything so she could only allow Lin Hu to bring back some pills that could extend her life. After all, she still had a competition on the second day so she couldn''t waste too much time.


    "Not far. He''s in a hut three kilometers away." Lin Hu truthfully said.


    "Take me to have a look first."


    Jun Qiyan silently let out a sigh of relief and nodded.


    No matter what, since Lin Hu called her master, then she, Jun Qiyan, cannot just ignore his matters.


    Jun Qiyan had always been like this. She would always respond to anyone who was close to her, but naturally, she would not be so polite towards someone who was hostile to her.


    Furthermore, she didn''t feel that there was anything wrong with what she was doing. After all, in society, if she didn''t draw a clear line between the two, it was unknown how she would be treated in the future.


    After hearing Jun Qiyan''s reply, Lin Hu was startled. In addition to his shock, he was also moved ¨C Jun Qiyan had helped him, this was something that Lin Hu had never thought of!


    "What is it? Don''t you need my help? "


    Seeing Lin Hu not respond for a long time and only look at him in a daze, Jun Qiyan raised his eyebrows and asked in a ridiculing manner.


    Lin Hu hurriedly came back to reality and shook his head: "No, no, no ¡­ ¡­" Of course not! "


    Jun Qiyan smiled. "Why aren''t you rushing it?"


    Lin Hu was both surprised and happy. When he came back to his senses, he was afraid that Jun Qiyan would go back on her word, so he hurriedly brought her to the small cottage.


    When they arrived at the thatched cottage, Jun Qianyan pushed open the door and saw a pale and dying man lying on the bed. Her eyebrows immediately knitted together.


    There was not a single piece of good meat on his body, and his entire body was covered in blood. Although his eyes had been bandaged, his bandaging skill was clearly not proficient enough to stop the bleeding. Blood continued to spurt out, dyeing a piece of the bed sheet red.


    "..." "His injuries really aren''t light."


    Jun Qiyan took in a deep breath and forced herself to look away. After pausing for a moment, she calmed herself down and said, "I don''t have that many pills with me right now."


    Hearing Jun Qiyan''s words, Lin Hu was once again stunned as his face revealed an expression of despair.


    He had initially thought that if Yin Muda was willing to help him, then he would definitely be saved and he would be able to survive this ordeal. However, now even Yin Mudou said that there was no other way, then he ¡­


    "However, I have pills that can help prolong his life."


    Jun Qianyan breathed in and out for a long time and waited until Lin Hu was about to give up all hope before she distantly said this.


    Lin Hu''s face once again revealed an expression of hope as he looked at Jun Qiyan in anticipation.


    Jun Qianyan took out a Blood Coagulation Pill and a Qi Consolidating Pill from his spatial space, while passing the pill in his hand to Lin Hu, he said: "First give this to him to swallow. Although it cannot be completely cured, at least within a month, his life will not be in danger. "


    And this one month''s time was enough for her to have the time to refine pills after the competition!


    Lin Hu stared wide-eyed, as he extended his trembling hands and carefully took the two elixirs. To him, these two elixirs were his lifesaving straw!


    "Thank you ¡­" Thank You... "Thank you!"


    Lin Hu was so excited that tears almost flowed from his eyes. He hurriedly used his other hand to wipe them away as he spoke to Jun Qianyan with a face full of gratitude.


    In contrast to Lin Hu''s expression, Jun Qiyan was expressionless as she nonchalantly waved her hands. After all, she did not feel that her actions were grand.


    After bidding farewell to Lin Hu, Jun Qiyan hurriedly returned to the Alchemist Association. Before the night had completely calmed down, she had already shrunk back into her blanket. He only wanted to sleep early and rest up for the match the next day.


    In the end, it was still the famous competition for apothecaries. Furthermore, it was the second round of the competition as well. Naturally, the number of spectators here compared to the first day of the competition was much greater.


    Looking at the sea of people below the stage, Jun Qiyan''s heart was calm. He stood at his seat without a change in expression.


    On the other hand, Su Anyun appeared to be a bit nervous. Her fingers were intertwined together and her brows were slightly knitted. A pair of eyes that concealed uneasiness swept over the audience.


    However, Su An Yun was a bit surprised when he secretly glanced at Jun Qianyan, who was standing next to him. After all, she had an indifferent expression on her face, and was even a bit proud; it seemed as if she had seen too many of these kinds of scenes.


    Su An Yun secretly gritted his teeth and quickly comforted himself in his heart. This Jun Qianyan must be pretending to be so calm; maybe she was even more nervous than he was!


    Thinking of this, Su An Yun''s heart became much more balanced. With a smirk, he couldn''t help but say in a low voice, "Okay, stop pretending. I know you''re very nervous. What''s the use of pretending?"


    Seeing that Jun Qiyan did not respond, Su An Yun continued to ridicule him, "But you are right. For a beginner alchemist like you, I''m afraid that you would not even be able to complete those ordinary drugs, right?"


    Hearing Su An Yun''s rambling, Jun Qianyan''s expression didn''t change at all. Not to mention replying, she didn''t even spare Su An Yun a single glance.


    After all, Jun Qiyan had seen a clown like Su An Yun many times before, so she didn''t find it strange at all.


    Seeing that Jun Qiyan was still unwilling to acknowledge him, Su An''s heart was suddenly set ablaze with anger. His face darkened and he was about to open his mouth and start cursing.


    At the end of the day, Jun Qiyan was just a mere beginner alchemist. How could she dare to ignore him?!


    The breathing of the person beside him had become much heavier, and Jun Qiyan could clearly feel Su An Yun''s emotional fluctuations. She could only laugh coldly in her heart, but the expression on her face remained the same.

 C133

    Just as Su An Yun was so angry that he wanted to beat someone up, the referee at the side announced the start of the match.


    Su An Yun glared at Jun Qianyan, cursing at him millions of times in his heart. However, soon after, Su An Yun seemed to have thought of something and a malicious smile appeared on his face.


    Because of the previous round of the competition, Su An Yun had the right to be the first to choose the herbs. Su An Yun had the right to be the first to choose the herbs because of the previous round of the competition.


    When the crowd saw the herbs in Su Anyun''s arms, they started to discuss among themselves. One must know that in this industry, the more herbs there were, the harder the ingredients were, and the higher the level of the ingredients.


    Seven or eight medicinal herbs could already be considered to be second grade pills. How could these people not be surprised when they had already turned into two bottles of medicinal pills at the age of fourteen or fifteen?


    One had to know that even a pill refiner would only be a second tier apothecary.


    This young miss of the Su Clan really has a bright future ahead of her ¡­


    "Young miss of the Su Clan, the pill that you should prepare this time is the Yang Reversion Pill, right ¡­"


    "I don''t think that''s necessarily the case ¡­" It could be a Soul Recovery Pill. "


    Another person couldn''t help but interject.


    Jun Qiyan had barely passed the stage, so she was ranked last. By the time she had reached the stage, there were only a few herbs left on the stage.


    Jun Qiyan looked around and suddenly thought of Su An Yun''s proud smile.


    This Su An Yun had indeed put himself in a spot! No matter how many people chose to use the ammunition formula, there would be no more or less medicinal herbs left in the end. It was impossible to make a candidate unable to concoct any medicinal herbs.


    The herbs in front of him could be used to make the most ordinary Spirit Gathering Pills, but they were missing the main ingredient, Spirit Gathering Grass.


    Jun Qiyan silently praised his foresight. If it wasn''t for the fact that he went to the black market to purchase a batch of medicinal herbs, he would really have been at a loss for what to do.


    Jun Qianyan calmly returned to his own furnace and began refining the pills according to the Spirit Pill formula.


    Su Anyun, who was watching from the side, couldn''t sit still. How could she possibly let someone secretly take away the most important Spirit Gathering Grass?


    How could this brat possibly concoct Spirit Gathering Pills!


    Su An Yun was a little flustered.


    On the other hand, Jun Qiyan seemed to be in an orderly manner, perfect in every step.


    The final step was to put the Spirit Gathering Grass in and condense it into a pill.


    As Jun Qiyan entered the space with a wisp of his consciousness, he suddenly became completely dumbfounded.


    The herbs that he bought yesterday were clearly inferior ones that were almost dried up. They should be about the same as those that were prepared in the Alchemist Competition. However, the herbs in front of him all seemed to be around a hundred years old.


    The medicinal fragrance emitted by the vast medicinal field wafted around in every corner of the Nuwa Stone. The ball was rolling about in the medicinal field, looking extremely happy.


    The little green snake held a stalk of herbal medicine and started to gnaw on it impatiently. However, because it found it too painful, it spat it out.


    If any other alchemist were to see this scene, they would definitely be so angry that they would pinch Jun Qiyan to death. These were all hundred-year-old medicinal herbs!


    Every single one of them was priceless!


    However, Jun Qiyan was not in the mood to feel excited about becoming a rich little woman.


    On the contrary, Jun Qiyan was a little flustered. She had never cared about the matter of the Nuwa Stone levelling up. Since she wasn''t used to hoarding herbs, she had completely forgotten about this matter ¡­


    Jun Qiyan didn''t want any hundred year old Lingzhi or thousand year old ginseng; he just wanted a stalk of Spirit Gathering Grass that didn''t need to be trash ¡­


    Was the heavens playing with him?!


    Under such desperation, Jun Qiyan had no choice but to find the worst quality herbal medicine in order to fool around.


    But even the worst quality herbs would have an even more powerful effect when being nourished by the Nuwa Stone.


    One must know that the older the medicinal herb, the more potent the effects of the medicinal pill would be. This was also the reason why the higher the age of the medicinal herb, the higher the price.


    Jun Qiyan braced himself and put the medicinal herb in.


    However, he would give them an hour for concocting pills. In the blink of an eye, an hour had already passed.


    Jun Qiyan had also completed the final step of pill refinement.


    The referee began to open the furnace one by one.


    As long as a good pill was opened, it would give off a strong medicinal fragrance.


    "Mmm, not bad." The referee took out the pill Su An Yun''s battery and revealed a satisfied smile, then he nodded in praise.


    "As expected of Elder Su''s granddaughter! "Truly a tiger father does not breed a dog son." The referee praised him generously, his tone carrying a hint of flattery.


    Su Anyun arrogantly raised her chin, clearly enjoying the referee''s words.


    The crowd was also in an uproar, "That''s a Grade 2 pill, Soul Recovery Pill!"


    "It''s just that I didn''t expect that the young lady of the Su Clan would already have this kind of ability at such a young age. Her future is truly limitless ¡­"


    "He wants to inherit his grandfather''s position."


    When Elder Su heard the flattery from the crowd below, he could not help but burst out laughing: "Hahahaha, he''s still young, but he has a lot of room for improvement in the future."


    Fortunately, he had let Su Yun practice hard for almost two months, the Soul Recovery Pill!


    He didn''t believe that there would be a medicinal pill of a higher grade than grade two medicinal pills appearing in this arena!


    "The Soul Recovery Pill is only the most basic kind of a Tier 2 alchemist. Moreover, a good Soul Recovery Pill should have a layer of faint fog surrounding it ¡­"


    With just a few words, Green Edge had reduced Su Anyun''s pill refining skills, which had been praised to the heavens, to nothing.


    When the others saw the internal conflict between the two elders, they did not dare to interrupt.


    He could only stand awkwardly by the side.


    "Humph!" "My family''s An Yun''s technique is still not mature enough, but it still has to be better than your apprentice alchemist!"


    "He was lucky enough to make it past the first round. I wonder what kind of evil outer technique he used!"


    Elder Su said somewhat disdainfully.


    Qingya slightly narrowed his eyes. "Whoever uses that evil technique at the crooked gate knows it very well. They have to often walk by the river, how can they not wet their shoes!"


    Elder Su''s expression darkened two levels when he heard what Green Edge said.


    The reason why Su An Yun was able to become a Tier 2 Pill Refiner was because of his own abilities and talent. He was the one who gave Su An Yun the backdoor.


    As an elder of the Apothecary Guild, he had to pass through the Apothecary Guild in order to pass the apothecary examination. Naturally, he could pass the examination at will.


    As the two old men were arguing, the referee had already arrived in front of Jun Yunyan.


    Elder Su''s lips curled up into a smile. He could not help but ridicule: "I remember back then when you were this old, you could already barely concoct a tier 3 medicinal pill. Your disciple, you better not be unable to concoct even the lowest grade Spirit Gathering Pill ¡­"


    Elder Su was saying this, but his heart was already certain that it was impossible for Jun Qianyan to concoct Spirit Gathering Pills. How could she possibly concoct a Spirit Gathering Pill without the help of Spirit Gathering Grass?


    Su Anyun, who was observing Jun Qiyan from the side, had her complexion change several times because she was excited. He couldn''t wait to see Jun Qianyan fail in concocting the pill.


    As long as word of this got out, this brat would become the laughing stock of the whole world!


    Just as Su Anyun was thinking this maliciously, the referee also opened Jun Qiyan''s pill furnace.


    A burst of bright light shot out in all directions, followed by a wave of medicinal fragrance wafting out from the furnace.


    It was a refreshing feeling that intoxicated everyone present, making them unable to extricate themselves from it.


    The referee was also stunned on the spot. It wasn''t until Jun Qiyan had called the referee a few times did the referee finally regain his senses.


    "You haven''t examined my pill." Jun Qiyan lightly said, making it difficult for anyone to guess his current mood.


    The referee knew about Su An Yun''s arrangements, but he chose to close one eye because the other party was Elder Su''s granddaughter. If she didn''t, she would lose her job.


    But this kid didn''t have the Spirit Gathering Grass, how could he possibly have the Spirit Gathering Pill?!


    The referee didn''t dare to voice his suspicions out loud. No matter what, the other party was a disciple of Grandmaster Qing Yun. If he were to completely offend him, then it would definitely not end well for him.


    "This is a grade-3 pill ¡­"


    The referee stared at the pill in his hands, his hands trembling uncontrollably.


    When the referee''s words came out, everyone was shocked. The one who was the most excited was none other than Su An Yun.

 C134

    "NO!" "That''s impossible!"


    Su Anyun stared at Jun Qiyan and the pill in her hand in shock. She couldn''t believe her eyes.


    Jun Qiyan was just a beginner alchemist!


    In a situation where she was lacking an essential ingredient, how could she possibly concoct a pill?


    Where did she get this medicinal herb?


    "Something is not right... That''s not right! "


    Su An Yun quickly understood what was going on. A trace of complacency flashed through his eyes. He raised his left hand, pointed it at Jun Qianyan, and loudly shouted, "I want to report ¡ª he cheated!"


    As soon as Su An Yun finished speaking, the entire audience went into an uproar ¡ª


    To be able to cheat in front of so many people, no one knew whether it was because Jun Qiyan was too daring or because Su Anyun was too stupid. She dared to suspect Jun Qiyan of cheating without thinking at all.


    "Su An Yun, are you joking?"


    Jun Qianyan was obviously thinking the same thing as the rest of the audience. Seeing that Su An Yun actually said such harsh words, he couldn''t help but sneer, and calmly replied, "Are you going to be a fool when you''re in the audience, or do you take me for a fool? You cheated under the noses of so many people, you really overestimate me! "


    "I don''t care!"


    Su An Yun fiercely gritted his teeth as he glared at Jun Feiyan, and continued to shout: "Yin Moyu, if you are innocent, then what else would you be afraid of! The reason why you didn''t dare to let the referee test you is because you cheated and felt guilty! "


    Su Anyun was still calling out to her as if no one else was around. That voice, that posture, it no longer had that gentle and generous appearance.


    "Did I say that I don''t dare to let the referee test me?"


    Jun Qianyan narrowed his eyes as he looked at Su An Yun for a moment. Suddenly, he laughed out loud. "Su An Yun, I know you''re anxious, but the referee hasn''t said anything yet. You can''t accuse me wrongly without any evidence, can you?"


    When the audience heard this, they all began to chime in:


    "That''s right, that''s right. There didn''t seem to be any big problems just now. How did he cheat?"


    "It''s just that he''s missing a medicinal ingredient. Since he has a way to make up for it, he definitely has the strength to produce the medicinal pellet. How could he possibly cheat?"


    "That''s right, I''m afraid that it wasn''t because she saw that someone else had just entered the sect and had better talent than herself, so she was jealous. Now that the competition is over and the other party has won, she should just run over and frame him, right?"


    The audience members were talking amongst themselves. It was much more lively than being onstage.


    When Su An Yun heard that the spectators below the stage were not even able to utter a single word towards him, he became even angrier. He fiercely glared at Jun Qianyan, turned his head, and looked at the referee with an aggrieved expression, "I already reported him for cheating, so why haven''t you verified it? Do I have to watch this despicable person, who relies on cheating to win, get away scot-free? "


    Su An Yun''s word stamp was important. This time, even the other contestants on stage were no longer calm. They all said, "Then I will have to trouble the judge to verify it. After all, the competition ¡­ ¡­. It still has to be fair. "


    "That''s right, the match should be fair."


    Jun Qiyan nodded in agreement as soon as the man finished speaking. He looked fixedly at the referee and said slowly, "Cheating is naturally unfair. Those who cheat must not be tolerated. But on the other hand, those who fabricate things out of nothing to frame others should not be let off."


    As Jun Qiyan spoke, she casually glanced at Su An Yun.


    "You!"


    Su An Yun felt like his lungs were about to explode from the anger!


    Under the watchful eyes of so many people, this was the first time she had lost to someone who had just entered the sect.


    But that was fine. The key point was that she had seen through that person''s cheating to win the match, and she had even reported him, but she had been ridiculed by him instead!


    This was simply an extraordinary shame and humiliation!


    She, Su An, would not take revenge for this enmity, so how could she face Elder Su?


    How could he be worthy of the Su Clan''s face!


    "Yin!" Muse! "Boom!"


    Su An Yun was so angry that his eyes turned red as he stared straight at Jun Qianyan, his white teeth were almost about to shatter into pieces. He could only squeeze out one word at a time, "I''ll remember you!"


    "Thank you."


    In the face of such "friendly" words from Su An Yun, Jun Qiyan replied with a smile and a very polite smile.


    Now that I think about it, that person who was so hostile to me before, now that his Jindan is broken and his cultivation base is scattered ¡­ I wonder if Su Anji will end up like that Li Shu Ran and end up courting death?


    Seeing the two of them starting to argue again, the referee, who had not dared to make a sound until now, could no longer bear to watch. He quickly asked Su An Yun, "Are you going to verify Contestant Yin Mo Du''s pill?"


    "Of course!"


    However, the referee had taken the initiative to come over and hit her head, causing her to be unable to maintain a good attitude. She was furious at the referee, "Today, I must let everyone know that he is a despicable person who relies on cheating to win the match!"


    The corner of Jun Qiyan''s mouth suddenly split into a sneer.


    I''m afraid there will be a good show to see soon.


    Just as he finished asking Su An Yun, the referee turned his gaze to Jun Qiyan.


    "I accept the verification." Jun Qiyan understood what the referee meant and replied in a very cooperative manner.


    When the referee heard this, he immediately walked in front of Jun Qianyan, picked up the pill she refined, and jogged all the way to the referee''s seat to verify if there was anything wrong with the pill together with dozens of alchemists.


    "This ¡­"


    Very quickly, a confused voice was heard from the judging area, "Is this really a pill refined by that newly initiated contestant Yin Mugluan?"


    Hearing that even the referee said that, Su An Yun couldn''t help but burst out laughing. "See! I told them you cheated, but they didn''t believe me! Hahahaha... "You are just a newly recruited apothecary, how can you possibly win against me?"


    Ignoring the astonished gazes of the other contestants, as well as the eyes of the audience looking at her as if she was a lunatic, Su Anyun laughed out loud without restraint. Her arrogance and willfulness could not be better described at this moment.


    Hearing the questioning voice of the judges, Jun Qianyan''s expression didn''t change in the slightest. Seeing Su An Yun laugh like a madman, she gave her a sympathetic look.


    "Did you really make this?"


    After the pill had been inspected by dozens of alchemists, it was finally back to Jun Qiyan.


    "Yes."


    Jun Qiyan took the pill and asked without batting an eyelid, "Did the masters notice anything amiss?"


    "No, not really."


    The referee turned around and glanced at Jun Qiyan, then shook his head, and announced loudly and solemnly, "There is no problem with the pills refined by contestant Yin Moyuan, and there is no difference in the ingredients used. Therefore, the name of cheating is not valid!"


    "What did you say?" "How is this possible!?"


    The referee''s words were like a bucket of cold water that was poured over Su An''s head, instantly extinguishing her arrogance.


    "Is there anything wrong with his medicine? "That''s impossible!"


    Su An Yun couldn''t believe his ears. He looked at the alchemist on the judge''s seat in astonishment and asked in a high-pitched voice, "It''s obviously missing a medicinal ingredient, so it''s impossible to manufacture that pill!"


    "Su An Yun, have you had enough trouble?"


    Jun Qianyan hadn''t said anything for a long time, only coldly standing to the side and watching Su An Yun act like a clown. She finally couldn''t take it anymore, and asked, "The referee has already examined my pill, so there''s no problem. Then ¡­ may I ask what kind of hat you''re going to put on me to vent your anger on?"


    Jun Qiyan had originally thought that Su An Yun was at least a second tier alchemist, and that he would have a better temper than Li Shu Ran.


    But from the looks of it now, it didn''t seem like that.


    Could it be that all the young ladies of aristocratic families in the continent had such a big temper and were all so willful?


    "Impossible ¡­" "This is impossible ¡­"


    Su An Yun could not accept such an outcome. He shook his head as he muttered to himself, "This is impossible. She must have cheated!"


    "Miss Su!"


    Seeing Su An Yun''s crazy appearance, even the referee couldn''t take it anymore. After coughing heavily, he looked at her with a serious face and asked in a stern voice, "Miss Su, what else do you want?"

 C135

    Su An Yun was suddenly at a loss for words. The referee''s line of sight once again fell upon Jun Qianyan.


    "I hereby officially announce that the winner of the second round is Yin Muji!"


    The referee''s voice fell, and everyone in the audience stood up. Immediately, thunderous applause sounded out on the stage.


    Elder Su''s aged face was flushed red from anger. Grandmaster Green Edge was leisurely drinking tea with a faint smile on his face.


    "Old Su, this disciple of yours isn''t good."


    He returned the words that Elder Su had said to Jun Qianyan in an unchanging manner.


    Elder Su pursed his lips, he was so angry that he couldn''t say a word.


    "The finals will be held in three days." The referee gave a brief introduction of the match. Su An Yun glared at Jun Qianyan angrily, turned around and left the arena without looking back.


    Jun Qiyan shrugged her shoulders as she looked at the Green Edge Grandmaster who was walking down from the spectator stands. She happily waved her hand.


    "Well done!" Grandmaster Greencloud laughed as he rubbed Jun Qiyan''s head.


    Not just ''not bad''!


    One had to know that the remaining one hundred people were the elites of the various academies. As a freshman, it was simply inconceivable that Jun Qiyan would be able to achieve victory.


    Jun Qi stuck out her tongue. She wasn''t so at ease in the face of Grandmaster Bluemoon''s praises. After all, her own herbs were much more advanced than his own ¡­


    At night, Jun Qiyan quietly slipped out of the restaurant once more.


    "Here, this is the pill." Jun Qiyan passed the pill in her hand to Lin Hu.


    Of course, she didn''t refine this pill herself, but rather, it was something that he shamelessly and shamelessly wanted from Grandmaster Qing Yun.


    "Thank you!" Lin Hu said with a face full of gratitude.


    Jun Qiyan patted Lin Hu''s shoulder, then said: "In the future, if you need anything you can come find me at Tanas Academy. I will be at the Alchemist Grand Competition in a few days."


    Jun Qiyan stared at Lin Hu as she spoke.


    "Tynes Academy?" Lin Hu''s face was full of shock as he asked.


    When he thought of the large amount of pills that Jun Qiyan had taken out earlier and the recent Alchemist Competition, he couldn''t help but be startled.


    "You, you ¡­"


    Lin Hu stammered for a long time but was unable to finish speaking.


    Jun Qiyan looked at the person in front of him with a slightly better expression, "You only need to know that I''m in Tanas Academy. If you encounter any trouble in the future, you can come and find me."


    Jun Qiyan said in a very loyal manner.


    Lin Hu gratefully nodded his head.


    Jun Qiyan narrowed her eyes and looked at the slightly pale sky. "It''s getting late. I''m going back soon. Be careful."


    Jun Qiyan didn''t plan on staying here for too long. If Grandmaster Blueblood discovered that she had snuck out in the middle of the night, she wouldn''t be able to explain herself.


    "Alright." Lin Hu nodded his head, looking at the figure that was getting further and further away before finally turning into a small dot and disappearing from his sight.


    Some people were born extraordinary, and in the future, they would have to accomplish great things and become top powerhouses ¡­


    Naturally, they were different from mortals.


    Currently in Lin Hu''s heart, Jun Qiyan was already a god.


    Sacred yet inviolable. That''s right, to already have some accomplishments at such a young age, and to repeatedly save himself from the fire and water, how could he not allow her to acknowledge him as her master?


    When Jun Qiyan returned to the restaurant, she originally wanted to take a break. However, she was forcibly woken up by the sphere within the Nuwa Stone.


    "What''s going on?!" Jun Qiyan looked at the chaotic ball and the tyrannical Baji Snake at the side with a thick air of being out of bed.


    That''s right, it was tyrannical. After the first time Jun Qiyan saw the Octavo Snake, Jun Qiyan had never seen one like this.


    "Little Cai ¡­ Something has happened! "


    The ball glanced at the big octopus at the edge of its rage.


    This fellow usually didn''t look like he was in the right place, but when he truly got angry, he was actually this terrifying ¡­


    "Are you talking about Qingqi?!"


    Because of the nervousness in her voice, Jun Qianyan''s tone had changed. She had been so carefree these past few days that she had even forgotten about the existence of Qingzhuang ¡­


    How could she explain it to Queen Medusa if Qingyan died ¡­


    When she thought of Medusa''s angry expression, Jun Qi became agitated. She didn''t want to die yet.


    Jun Qiyan quickly walked to the front of Qinghua and saw that the small snake, which was only the size of his palm, had shrunk into a ball.


    His body had also turned transparent, making him look extremely pitiful.


    "What''s going on?!"


    Jun Qiyan nervously looked at the ball and the Baji Snake, feeling a headache. If Ninth Master was here, he would definitely have a way to solve it.


    Jun Qiyan smiled bitterly, his eyes were filled with disappointment. The Ninth Master had left ¡­ Why did she think of him again?


    Perhaps even Jun Qiyan himself had not realized that she had already become overly reliant on Di Mo Jiu.


    The ball pursed its lips and slowly said, "You also know that Qingyan''s condition has always been unstable, coupled with the fact that she hasn''t eaten anything for a long time, that''s why ¡­"


    Ball did not finish his sentence, only carefully looked at Jun Feiyan.


    A long time without food...


    Jun Qiyan''s face paled. She remembered that the Medusa had given Qinghua food for a human.


    Thinking up to here, Jun Qiyan took a deep breath and asked, "Is there no other way?"


    "Qinghua can absorb a person''s cultivation, but with your current cultivation level, it''s not enough to fill the gaps in your teeth." The ball hit Jun Qiyan mercilessly.


    "I can!"


    The Octadic Snake didn''t hesitate to step forward, looking extremely anxious.


    Jun Qiyan looked at the Octadic Snake in surprise; had this snake''s personality changed?!


    She remembered that Qing Cai clearly disliked him in every way possible when she first arrived ¡­


    "You can''t." The ball said in a deep voice, "Fu Chen, where''s your brain?!"


    Ball rolled his eyes without any hesitation.


    Jun Qiyan had originally thought that with the Baji Snake''s personality, he would definitely have to fight with the ball. However, he hadn''t expected that the hot-tempered Baji Snake would have no reaction at all.


    This caused Jun Qiyan to feel extremely strange. She didn''t think that the Baji Snake had really changed its nature. The only possibility was that the Baji Snake and Qinghua had only seen what had happened ¡­


    "You are an ancient beast, and your magic can only kill you through the explosion of Lil ''Cai''s body."


    After the ball had finished speaking, he turned to Jun Qiyan and said, "Go and fuse with your spirit energy. Try to see if you can channel the spirit of the medicinal plant into her body."


    Jun Qiyan nodded. After a while, a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.


    Jun Qiyan nervously infused his milky white spiritual energy into the light green gas.


    "Phew ¡­" "It''s a success!" Jun Qiyan was pleasantly surprised as she watched Qingzhuang slowly turn better.


    "This can only be considered as treating the symptoms and not the root of the problem." The ball said with a deep voice, "From now on, Qinghua''s situation will only get worse."


    "What?!" Before Jun Qiyan could react, the Baji Snake couldn''t sit still any longer.


    Jun Qiyan looked at the Occult Snake with a strange expression, but didn''t say anything in the end.


    "Alright, I understand."


    Jun Qiyan replied.


    Jun Qiyan was no longer in the mood to rest after exiting the space. She left the restaurant after exchanging a few words with Grandmaster Qing Yun.

 C136

    Jun Qianyan was bored to death as he wandered the streets. As he looked at the bustling streets, he raised his head to look at the not too bright sun and asked the boss of the steamed bun shop, "Why is it so noisy this early in the morning? "But what''s the matter?"


    "Brother, are you new here?" That boss smiled and replied, "Today is our annual auction. No wonder it''s not lively!"


    "Auction?" Jun Qiyan was puzzled. "Auctions are held quite frequently, don''t you think? Why is it so rare this time? "


    "Bro, you don''t know about this!"


    The boss didn''t get angry after hearing Jun Qiyan''s words. Instead, he deepened his smile and patiently explained, "This auction is the only one attended by nobles. It only happens once a year. The key is that the items inside are all extremely rare treasures!"


    The words "presided over by a noble" immediately attracted Jun Qiyan''s attention.


    One had to know that most of the rare treasures were either in the hands of the influential people or were in the hands of the nobles, just waiting for an opportunity like the auction to show off before taking them out.


    If she had also participated in the auction, she might have been able to try her luck and find some good treasures.


    Jun Qiyan secretly made up his mind. He handed the silver over and strode to the most bustling place.


    "One hundred gold coins!"


    "One hundred and fifty gold coins!"


    All sorts of shouts and shouts resounded in Jun Qiyan''s ears. She had finally managed to sneak into the auction venue with great difficulty, but before she could get to the front row, her eardrums were about to burst from the shocked voices of the surrounding nobles.


    As Jun Qiyan listened to this incomparably noisy auction house, he felt that it didn''t feel like an auction for nobles at all. It was more like people fighting over goods on the streets; apart from the silver on their hands, their voices were louder than others.


    Jun Qiyan looked around, but didn''t see any particular auction item. She couldn''t help but suspect if this was an auction hosted by a noble. It was actually just some ordinary items with no rare treasures.


    But perhaps to the common people on the streets outside, the things here were things that they would rarely see, so they thought it was a rare treasure?


    As Jun Qiyan thought of this, she turned around and prepared to leave the auction house.


    "Hey, where did you come from?"


    Before Jun Qiyan could take a few steps forward, someone suddenly called out to her from behind.


    Jun Qiyan took a look and saw that it was a malevolent looking middle-aged man. He was tall and sturdy, and his head was lowered as he sized up Jun Qiyan. He paused for a moment before asking, "Brother, which clan are you from?"


    "Huh?"


    Jun Qiyan was somewhat stupefied by the question, and subconsciously shook his head.


    "So you''re not a noble?"


    The middle-aged man frowned and immediately lowered his voice as he roared, "I was just wondering why you are dressed in such shabby clothes. You don''t look like someone from a noble family. Speak!" How did you get in? "What are you trying to do, sneaking around here?"


    "No ¡­" Brother, don''t be so excited! "


    Seeing that the middle-aged man was about to fight with him in the auction house, and that his shout just now had already attracted a lot of attention, Jun Qianyan was startled. He quickly shook his head and waved his hand, rolled his eyes, and quickly explained, "Big brother, don''t misunderstand, I''m not a bad guy, I''m just ¡­ "Uh, I was invited to sell something!"


    "Selling?" The middle-aged man obviously didn''t believe him and quickly asked, "What about your permit?"


    "I forgot to bring it!"


    Jun Qiyan blurted out without thinking. She then chuckled and continued, "Isn''t this my first time coming back? I don''t even know how strict your rules are. I can''t find a place to sell things just now!"


    The middle-aged man''s brows tightened even more, as if he was hesitating on whether or not to believe Jun Qiyan.


    "Since you said you were selling, then ¡ª what are you selling?"


    The middle-aged man was still hesitating, but at some point, a slim man dressed neatly had appeared behind him. His slightly narrowed eyes flashed with a glint of light.


    Jun Qiyan suddenly had a bad premonition when she saw this person who looked like the boss. However, with so many people looking at her and the boss and the security guards staring at her, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and take out the pill she concocted.


    "This is ¡­" Pills? "


    The shop owner took the pill and carefully examined it. His gaze towards Jun Qianyan was filled with suspicion, and he lowered his voice, "I don''t remember inviting any alchemists to participate in this auction."


    "You can''t be sure."


    Seeing that the shop owner was hesitating, but didn''t have any intention of refusing, Jun Qianyan thought for a moment, then took out the Hundred Year Old Spirit Grass and handed it to the shop owner, asking, "What if you add these?"


    The shop owner furrowed his brows as he looked at the Spirit Grass. Surprise and astonishment suddenly flashed across his eyes.


    "It''s only a few medicinal pills. Where can I not buy them? You want to sell them in this auction for nobility? Do you want to cause trouble?"


    Seeing that Jun Qiyan was about to auction the few stalks of spirit grass, the security guard''s face sank. He started to expel her, "Let''s go, let''s go, we''re going somewhere else to sell. This is an auction house for nobles, there''s no need to cause trouble here!"


    The moment the security guard said this, the surrounding nobles burst into laughter.


    "Am I the boss or are you the boss!"


    The boss'' face darkened and he barked at the security guard, "You don''t believe me when I say you have poor eyesight. Take a good look at this and see what it is." This is the Hundred Year Old Ling Eye Grass! "


    The moment the boss said this, the entire venue fell silent for a moment, then it was as if an explosion had occurred. All the nobles in the venue began to seethe with excitement.


    The Rising Eyesight Grass was the kind of miraculous herb that could make a blind person see the light of day again ¡ª because it grew up in an extremely tricky environment that few people could find, it was very expensive. Furthermore, the older it grew, the better it could cure illnesses.


    This kind of herb was extremely rare in the hands of alchemists. Even if there were, the quantity would be very little and the price would also be higher. However, it was far more valuable than the most valuable item in the auction!


    Furthermore, the person who had proven the value of this herb was the boss of the auction. His eyesight would definitely not be bad.


    After coming to this agreement, the nobles were once again in an uproar.


    "How is it?"


    Jun Qiyan was still smiling as he looked around at the nobles. He politely asked the boss, "Can I participate in this auction now?"

 C137

    "Sure!" The owner was stunned for a moment and was the first to react, "Of course you can! "If you ¡­"


    "Little brother, I don''t think that you should auction this Ling Eye Grass. I am willing to pay a high price for it!"


    A man dressed in brocade clothing also reacted. He interrupted the boss''s words and hurriedly squeezed in front of Jun Qiyan. He pulled her hand and said in a refined manner,


    "Or if you don''t want money, come to my manor! There are many treasures in my manor that you can choose from! However, you must promise me that these few stalks of Soaring Eye Grass will all belong to me! "


    "Oh?"


    Jun Qiyan raised an eyebrow, glanced at the boss, and said with a smile, "Although I would like to, but I think even if I agree, the boss ¡­" Hey! Brother, what are you doing? "


    Jun Qiyan abruptly raised his voice and raised his foot. He then heard a painful moan.


    Everyone was startled by the noise. They all looked towards the source of the sound, only to see a man clutching his crotch, squatting on the ground with a pained expression.


    "If you want to say it, then say it. Is there a need to sneakily take it?"


    He was just about to take advantage of the moment when she was distracted to speak to someone else, sneakily taking the herb out of her hand. However, he was discovered by her, and she raised her foot to kick him forcefully in the crotch.


    Jun Qiyan sneered as she looked around at the crowd. Then, she took the herb back into her bosom and made a gesture to leave.


    The venue suddenly became silent. Then, it erupted into a deafening roar that was even more deafening than the one from the previous auction.


    "Wait a minute!"


    "Please wait!"


    "Please don''t leave ¡­"


    At the very moment that Jun Qiyan turned to leave, several hands suddenly stretched out to stop her.


    The gazes of the nobles were so bright that it made Jun Qiyan feel chilled to the core.


    "This brother," a thin woman with her hair tied up in a bun walked in front of Jun Qiyan and hurriedly said, "These few stalks of Soaring Eye Grass ¡­"


    "Can you give these to me?" The man who had just failed to steal the grass had suddenly pushed his way in front of Jun Qianyan, pushing the skinny woman aside and anxiously asking, "What do you want, just say it!"


    "Shut up, you thief!"


    A rather young and beautiful woman pointed at the man and yelled, then she also turned to Jun Qiyan and timidly asked, "I don''t need a lot, I just want one, is it okay?"


    "Brother!"


    Another man dressed in simple and plain clothes pretended to be pushing away the young woman, raised his chin and said to Jun Qiyan, "You don''t know anything about medicinal herbs. If your goods make a move, I can guarantee that I''ll ¡­"


    "Go away, go away!"


    "Don''t block me!"


    The air around them was full of irritation. They were already on the edge of tension, but with a few men shouting, the crowd immediately became restless. Some of them even began to pull and pull at each other.


    When Jun Qiyan saw that something was wrong, he immediately bent down and squeezed his way through the gap between the two of them.


    "Wait!"


    At some point the shop owner had appeared in front of Jun Qiyan, as if he was afraid that she would run away. He quickly pulled her up and asked, "Little brother, are you selling these pills and herbs?"


    Looking at the chaotic auction house, Jun Qiyan had initially rejected it, but seeing that the boss was still very calm, she nodded and said, "I can still sell the pills, but the spirit grass ¡­" Forget it. They''re too crazy! "


    "Don''t! Take advantage of the fact that they want it, and quickly make your move! "


    Just as Jun Qianyan was about to turn around and leave, he heard the voice of the ball urgently sound out. "I''ve just looked through all the items that were auctioned and discovered something useful for treating QingCai! You can use the spirit grass to exchange for it as soon as possible, the more the better! "


    "Really?"


    Jun Qiyan was a little surprised, but more than that, she was pleasantly surprised. When she heard about the effects of the medicine, she agreed without thinking, "Alright! Then I''ll trade the spirit herbs for a pile of them. I''ll sell the pills, let''s go eat something good! "


    After making up his mind, Jun Qiyan suddenly turned around and grabbed the boss''s clothes with one hand. She handed him the spiritual herbs while whispering something in his ear.


    "You want that?"


    The shop owner was somewhat surprised. He had initially been wondering about the fact that Jun Qianyan suddenly didn''t sell her spiritual herbs, but now that he thought about it, he was even more surprised to find that she actually wanted to trade her spiritual herbs for something that wasn''t particularly rare.


    This was clearly a loss, alright!


    "Give me as much as you can get."


    Seeing that the boss was still doubting his words, Jun Qiyan nodded again and repeated his words.


    "No problem!"


    The shop owner solemnly nodded his head as well, his eyes brimming with joy. In order to let Jun Qiyan keep up the good show, he had also let out a few words.


    "Seeing that you''re so straightforward and have a high value for pills and spiritual herbs, why don''t I give you this auction card. From now on, you can come and go as you wish and bring anything you want to auction!"


    "Really?"


    Jun Qiyan''s eyes lit up. After all, this was a pretty good source of income for her!


    "How can this be false?"


    The shop owner smiled. After the deal was concluded, he looked at the restless crowd and took out a hammer. Then, he rapped the hammer twice on the table. He shouted, "Silence! Silence!"


    However, the nobles who were still fighting over the herb acted as if they didn''t hear anything. They didn''t even pay attention to their boss. They didn''t even move their attention away as they continued to talk about the two words, "Buy" and "Soaring Eye Grass".


    "Everyone, quiet down!" The boss heavily hammered a few more times, raised his voice and said, "This brother agrees to auction the Red-Eyed Grass. Please return to your seats and prepare to bid!"


    The boss'' words were like a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguishing the raging flames of the nobles.


    The nobles all came to their senses, awkwardly clearing their throats and tidying up their clothes. Everyone returned to their seats, sitting up straight, craning their necks, slightly tilting their chins, staring at the stalks of rushes in the boss'' hands, waiting for him to call out the starting price of the rushes.


    Jun Qiyan was immediately frightened by the aristocrats'' actions. He couldn''t help but burst out laughing when he saw that they had turned back into nobility in the blink of an eye while quarreling like madmen.


    Even Jun Qianyan didn''t expect that his chuckle would actually ignite the fire in the auction hall once again. Before the boss had even called out the starting price of the herb, someone had already raised their hand and shouted:


    "Five hundred gold coins!"


    "Seven hundred gold coins!"


    "A thousand gold!"

 C138

    Holding the silver in her arms, Jun Qiyan left the auction hall in satisfaction. The auction hall behind her didn''t turn quiet just because of her departure. The nobles were still calling out their bids one after another.


    After putting away the necessary items for the treatment and throwing away most of the gold coins, he only had a few gold coins left in his hands. He immediately felt a lot more relaxed.


    Not to mention his hands, even his life in the future would be a lot easier. After all, so many gold coins were already enough for her to use for a long time. Furthermore, she had the VIP card with her, so it wouldn''t be too late to come back later when she was short on money.


    "Hey, guy in front!"


    The more she thought about it, the happier she felt. The corners of her mouth curled up into a smile as her footsteps sped up. She was about to leave when she heard a very rude voice coming from behind her.


    Jun Qiyan''s eyes narrowed, but she didn''t stop walking. As if she hadn''t heard him, she continued to stride forward.


    "Brat, my boss is calling you!"


    But soon, three gangster-looking people appeared at the intersection in front of him. They had vulgar smiles on their faces and were staring at Jun Qianyan with ill intentions. What, did you find some treasure inside? Come, come, come. Quickly let big brother take a look! "


    As the hooligan spoke, he extended his hand towards Jun Qiyan.


    Jun Qiyan snorted lightly, and dodged to the side. At the same time, she raised her knee and kicked the hooligan in the stomach!


    Ah!


    The little hooligan suddenly took the hit. It was obvious that he didn''t expect Jun Qiyan to act first. He immediately became angry and began to shout wildly.


    "You ungrateful fellow!"


    The leader of the hooligans behind her took a deep breath, pinched his knuckles, and walked towards Jun Qiyan. The other hooligans beside her slowly approached and surrounded her.


    It wasn''t the first time that Jun Qiyan had seen such a situation. There wasn''t the slightest bit of panic on his face; instead, he just chuckled twice and stuffed the gold coins into his arms. He asked, "What, are you going to fight?"


    "You!"


    Those hooligans felt greatly humiliated. They were all so angry that their faces turned red as they glared viciously at Jun Qiyan.


    She became vigilant as she watched the leader of the bandits reach down to a position about two centimeters from her chin. Suddenly, she stretched out her hand, tightly gripped onto the leader''s wrist, and forcefully twisted it from the top down. Then, she heard the leader''s wrist make two cracking sounds.


    "Pain ¡ª ¡ª pain!"


    In addition to the wrist, there was also the painful wail of the leader of the gangsters. It wasn''t until Jun Qiyan felt that his wrist had more or less broken that she released her grip.


    The leader held his wrist tightly and retreated a few steps, moaning in pain as he slowly raised his head, staring at Jun Qiyan with anger and unease.


    It wasn''t easy for them to get a hold of the auction opportunity, and they wanted to earn a decent sum of money. How did they end up encountering such a strange person?


    "Boss!"


    The rest of the hooligans noticed that something was wrong and immediately surrounded the leading hooligan. They looked at him with a face full of fear, then looked at Jun Qiyan with eyes full of uneasiness. They all asked, "Who exactly are you?"


    "Only you rogues?"


    Jun Qianyan snorted in disdain, "You want to rob someone else? Isn''t that funny? "


    "You! "Don''t be too arrogant!"


    A grey robed gangster shouted at Jun Qiyan, "How dare you injure our boss! We will never let you off!"


    Upon hearing these familiar words, Jun Qiyan''s face lit up with a bright smile as he said word by word, "Just you guys?"


    "What do you mean?"


    The leader of the hooligans shouted in anger. He didn''t have the time to worry about his wrist being broken by Jun Qiyan. He struggled to stand up from the ground and commanded the other hooligans:


    "Catch this kid!" How dare you disregard us? I will make him beg for death! "


    The words of the leader of the hooligans were like chicken blood. He directly hit those hooligans, which immediately roused them up and made them clamor as they rushed towards Jun Qiyan.


    Seeing the four groups of gangsters rushing towards him from all four directions, Jun Qianyan calmly raised his foot and kicked the grey-clothed man who was at the very front. The grey-clothed man''s body tilted and coincidentally bumped into another grey-clothed man who was behind him, causing him to retreat backward along with him.


    Perhaps the man behind them was unsteady, but as soon as he staggered, the two of them fell heavily onto the ground.


    There was also a grey robed man who saw that Jun Qiyan knew martial arts, unlike the other two. He stopped, took out a dagger from his waist, and stabbed towards her.


    Seeing that they didn''t have any spiritual power, Jun Qiyan didn''t use any. They only used martial arts to deal with the problem and nimbly dodged the attacks. However, because of the dagger in the rogue''s hand, they had no choice but to dodge.


    "Ugh!"


    Suddenly, someone pushed at his shoulder, causing Jun Qiyan to lose her balance. She was also distracted, and very quickly, she heard the sound of her clothes being torn. She could vaguely feel pain coming from her arm.


    After stabilizing himself, Jun Qiyan''s eyes swept over his arm. A crimson snake like wound had appeared on his arm, and blood was seeping out of it bit by bit.


    It was the first time that Jun Qiyan, who had always been the only one to ambush others, had been ambushed today as well.


    "Heh, if you want to fight, then bring it on!"


    After a single glance, Jun Qiyan didn''t seem to care too much about the wound. She shook her head and raised her eyebrows at them, using a provocative tone to say, "A dignified man like you actually dares to use such despicable methods. Are you sure you don''t know what it means to cause trouble?"


    "No matter if it''s the black cat or the white cat, it''s good that they can catch a mouse ¡­"


    Before the leader of the gangsters could finish his sentence, Jun Qiyan had already arrived in front of him. Her eyes widened in fear and shock ¨C


    Jun Qiyan abruptly raised his hand as his elbow viciously smashed towards the leader''s neck. The leader gave a muffled groan as he fell face first onto the ground.


    "Boss!"


    Seeing this, Jun Qiyan no longer dared to be courteous. She also took out a dagger from her bosom, and in the process of dodging, not only was she not injured at all, but all the hooligans were also injured. They all kneeled down on the ground, moaning and groaning.


    "Come on, speaking of the hooligan, I''m your ancestor!"


    Seeing them so vulnerable, Jun Qiyan sneered coldly. She put away her dagger, walked up to them, stretched out her hand, and loudly said, "Hurry, hand over your gold coins!"

 C139

    "Pfft!"


    As soon as Jun Qianyan finished speaking, some of the thugs got up to fight back and rushed towards her with daggers in their hands.


    "Talking to you in a good mood, you don''t want to hear it, right?"


    Jun Qiyan smiled without a care in the world. She laughed coldly, "Where do you want to be crippled?"


    Jun Qiyan pulled out her dagger and turned around, just in time to dodge the attack. She then swiped it across the Brawler''s right arm ¨C


    "Well, this is the first warning."


    Jun Feiyan smiled faintly as she saw the wounds on the gangsters'' hands that were still bleeding. She turned around and took the initiative to face the group of gangsters who were charging at her with similar daggers in their hands.


    "This... Just who is it!? "


    The hooligan covered his wound with his hand and looked at Jun Qiyan in disbelief ¨C how could there be someone so agile and agile in this place!?


    Moreover, he hadn''t even used his spiritual energy yet, and was similarly unarmed. At most, he had used a dagger, but his skill and ability far surpassed theirs!


    "Do you think you can rob us? "Look carefully, this is how robbing looks like!"


    Jun Qiyan snorted coldly as he firmly held onto the leader''s wrist. He then twisted it with force, and heard the cracking sound and the leader''s screams once again ¡ª ¡ª


    The two wrists of the leading thug were broken by this brat!


    The rest of the hooligans looked panicked. They were even more scared than before. They held onto the leading hooligans who were groaning in pain and stepped back step by step:


    "Don''t... Stop fighting, we were wrong, alright? "


    "We''re all here for money, so why make things difficult for each other?"


    "Come, come, I''ll give you the gold coins. Please let us live ¡­"


    The group of hoodlums who were still in full fury a moment ago were all pale-faced as they cowered and retreated, handing over all the valuable things on their bodies to Jun Qiyan. Even after that, they were still carefully observing him, as they had just robbed him of a few medicinal herbs that were still warm from the heat, in order to find an opportunity to escape.


    By the time Jun Qiyan bent down to pick up some silver and gold coins, the group of hooligans had already run away as fast as they could. They didn''t dare to stay a moment longer, fearing that if Jun Qiyan got unhappy, their lives would be forfeit.


    Seeing the "loot" in her hands, Jun Qianyan only felt that it was funny, but not long after she laughed, a furry ball appeared in front of her eyes. She lectured with a shrill voice, "Why didn''t you use spirit energy to take care of them just now? How fast is it for a duck to have to spend so much time and effort on other things? "


    "It''s not like they have any spirit energy. Using spirit energy to take care of them is meaningless."


    Jun Qiyan put the silver and gold coins into his money bag as he slowly replied to the ball, "I have to use the same method to get rid of the players so that they won''t have to worry about other troubles in the future."


    "Tch, that was too much!"


    The ball pouted and let out an indifferent snort before looking at Jun Qianyan''s bulging purse with narrowed eyes. His tone was also filled with excitement. "But to think of it, today''s harvest is truly great!"


    "Then?" Do you even know who your master is?! "


    Hearing the praise from the ball, Jun Qiyan admitted to it very bluntly and started to count his gains for the day, "Of course there are a lot of gold coins, and there are also other medicinal ingredients ¡­" The key is that I accidentally found something that can cure Qing Qing. "


    "Hmph, I''m the one who reminded you. You''ll only know then, won''t you!?"


    Seeing how Jun Qiyan was still behaving as if she had taken advantage of the situation, Balls was a little angry. He hurriedly went to extinguish Jun Qianyan''s awe-inspiring aura, and mocked, "If I had known earlier that you were so free, I wouldn''t have warned you. I would have let you punish Qingqing and have you punished Queen Medusa for your crimes so quickly!"


    "Good f * cking ball!"


    When Jun Qiyan heard this, her eyes widened in anger. With one hand on her waist and the other on her fluffy head, she pretended to be angry and said, "What kind of person are you? Hm? It''s fine if I am scolded by Queen Medusa. Ah, how ruthless of you. You are willing to watch Little Cai get injured and unable to get better? "


    "Then... Of course not! "


    The ball was stunned for a moment before it pursed its lips as it replied in an aggrieved manner.


    After being together for so many days, the ball had long fallen in love with Lil ''Cai, and now seeing her in a coma due to serious injuries, the ball felt a pang in her heart.


    "Alright, it''s just a joke. Don''t take it to heart."


    Seeing how the ball was pouting, looking like it wanted to cry but couldn''t, Jun Qianyan let out a sigh of relief. She rubbed its head, opened up some space to enter and said, "Since you''re so distressed about Little Cai, then don''t waste your time. Quickly find a good place for her to grow these herbs. Only after you''ve taken care of her can you give her the medicine!"


    "I know that!"


    The ball flew to Jun Qiyan''s side, and stared at the medicinal plant in her hand for a long time. After determining the nature and habits of the medicinal plant, her small eyes narrowed, and she excitedly shouted, "Here! Quick, follow me! "


    However, Jun Qiyan did not directly follow him.


    Although her will was in the space within the Nuwa Stone, in reality, her body was still standing on the main street.


    Therefore, in order to be safe and avoid attracting attention, Jun Qiyan quickly turned two corners and hid in an alleyway. Only then did she re-enter the space.


    "Ball, where did you go?"


    After a short while, Jun Qiyan entered the space again and found that the ball was no longer there. He had no choice but to search for it as he walked.


    "Here!"


    The sound of the ball suddenly came from behind her. Jun Qiyan quickly turned her head, only to see the ball flying out from behind a bush as it loudly shouted at her.


    Jun Qiyan did not hesitate as he hurried to follow her, but was struck dumb all of a sudden. Wasn''t the speed of his growth a bit too heaven-defying?!


    Jun Qiyan was stupefied as he looked at the marsh behind the bushes.


    The herbs here had long since become hundreds of years old, and some of them had even reached thousands of years old.


    Jun Qiyan''s eyes were shining. This was simply a huge amount of gold coins! Those medicinal herbs thousands of years old could be said to be priceless in the market! There was no need to talk about how precious it was ¡­


    Seeing the look of shock on Jun Qiyan''s face, the ball curved its lips into a smile and continued, "The Nuwa Stone is more than that."


    Seeing Jun Qiyan''s increasingly shocked expression, the expression on Ball''s face became increasingly smug.


    "Alright, the most important task right now is to save Xiao Cai. We don''t know when the Octadic Snake will come over." He looked at the two chattering people and said impatiently.


    After the Baji Snake''s reminder, Jun Qiyan''s and Balls'' faces also became solemn.


    "The thing I told you to buy before." The ball looked at Jun Qiyan as she asked. Jun Qiyan hurriedly placed a pile of red jade on the ball.


    "What''s the use of this?" Jun Qiyan asked with a puzzled expression.


    Judging by her appearance, she really couldn''t find anything special about her. She picked up a piece of red jade and carefully examined it. The red jade had some white lines on it, making it look really pretty.


    "This thing is called the Wu Fu Stone. It contains an enormous amount of spiritual power, but the human body is unable to absorb it. Ordinary demonic beasts cannot control the concentrated power of their frail bodies."


    "If it was randomly absorbed, its body would explode and it would die. Furthermore, powerful Monstrous Beasts were disdainful towards it, so that''s why there are so many Martial Arts Stones up till now." The ball explained that


    Jun Qiyan finally understood that Caiqing was in the middle of this, right? He had a powerful body, and he desperately needed this power ¡­


    "Don''t worry, this will let Little Cai hang out for a while."


    After saying this, the face of the Occult Snake finally relaxed a little.


    Sure enough, as soon as Jun Qiyan placed the light color into the fodder stone, a dark red gas appeared around the stone.


    Jun Qiyan''s heart, which was hanging in midair, finally relaxed. While waiting for the competition to begin, Jun Qiyan didn''t wander around, but rather calmed down and rested in the hotel.


    He obediently waited for the arrival of the third round of the competition.

 C140

    Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the fiery red leaves looked like burning flames. They were also like fresh blood that was pressing down on a piece of land, wantonly extending and spreading through the forest.


    Waves of evening wind blew over, bringing with it a slight chill.


    Red leaves that burned like fire fell down one after another, like beautiful butterflies fluttering in the sky, like a death god brandishing his scythe in front of a forest.


    The red leaves on the tree rustled like a wild beast roaring at her. The ground was covered with red leaves, like a bloody road to the underworld ¡ª ¡ª


    This was the stage for the third round of competition?


    Jun Qiyan looked at the bloody forest, and his eyes narrowed. He suddenly thought of his previous life, before his death. It might have been a psychological effect, but Jun Qianyan suddenly felt as if she had been struck by lead, and couldn''t move a step.


    The third round of the competition was to enter this secret realm and find the right medicinal ingredients to refine the most powerful medicinal pills.


    "What''s wrong? Could it be that you''re scared now and want to leave?"


    Su An Yun lowered her eyes as she saw Jun Qianyan''s expression. The corners of her mouth curled up as she couldn''t help but ridicule him, "But that''s good too. Since we haven''t entered yet, the outcome is still uncertain. I don''t want you to embarrass yourself later!"


    Only after hearing Su An Yun''s words did Jun Qianyan struggle to come out from the meeting. She indifferently glanced at Su An Yun and suddenly laughed, "So it''s like that? Why do I feel that someone has long forgotten their previous lesson? "


    Thinking back to the first two rounds, Su An Yun looked as if he was confident of winning. But in the end, he was ruthlessly slapped in the face by Jun Qiyan, and she almost couldn''t step down from the stage.


    Could it be the same this time?


    "I was too careless the last two times. This time, you can forget about using those little tricks to win this round!"


    Hearing Jun Qiyan''s words, Su An Yun''s expression did not change at all. He gritted his teeth and replied.


    However, the only thing that can be recovered is a contemptuous chuckle from Jun Qiyan.


    Watching the sky turn from blood-red to orange, gradually becoming darker until it was completely replaced by darkness, the referee finally gave the order, announcing the start of the match.


    Jun Qiyan stepped on the red leaves as he approached the eerie forest. He looked around as he slowly moved through the forest.


    "Wait a moment!"


    Suddenly, a sharp scream was heard from behind him. Jun Qianyan''s brows wrinkled violently. When he turned around and saw that it was Su An Yun, he couldn''t help but reveal an impatient expression on his face.


    "What kind of expression is that?"


    When Su An Yun saw the expression on Jun Qianyan''s face, his anger immediately flared up. He placed his hands on his hips and loudly cursed, "What? You think I''m going to be like you? Are you even afraid of such a scene?"


    "You know very well whether you''re afraid or not. It''s not like I''m asking you."


    Jun Qiyan snorted disdainfully.


    When she thought back to the second round, when the competition had yet to begin and Su An Yun''s nervous expression turned unnatural, Jun Qiyan couldn''t help but find it funny.


    "You! You''re the one who''s scared! "


    Su An Yun was so angry that her facial features almost twisted, but when she thought about her own business, her gloomy expression suddenly eased up. Immediately afterwards, she revealed a smile: "Since you''re so confident about yourself, do you dare to make a bet with me?"


    "Boring."


    Jun Qiyan snorted disdainfully again as he turned to leave, completely unconcerned.


    "If you don''t dare to bet with me, then you must be afraid!"


    Seeing that Jun Qiyan was about to hide away, Su An Yun laughed even more happily. "Yin Moyu, you should admit that you''re afraid!"


    "Fear or not, that is none of my business. What does it have to do with you?"


    Jun Qiyan was speechless. Why did all these rich young mistresses like to cause trouble?


    "Anyway, it''s not an excessive request ¡­"


    Su An Yun forcefully suppressed his anger and smiled. She sweetly said, "How about this? Let''s make a bet. The loser will give the winner a treasure. How about it?"


    Jun Qiyan stopped walking and turned around to look at Su An Yun. "Are you sure?"


    "When did I, Su Anyun, break my promise?"


    Seeing that Jun Qiyan was about to agree, Su An Yun was overjoyed. He quickly sneered, "I''m a dignified young mistress of the Su Family, do you really need to be afraid of me making a mistake? Or are you so sure that you can win? "


    Su An Yun looked at Jun Qianyan with greed in his eyes. Although this kid looked like he was poor, he definitely had a treasure on him!


    It was the time when his grandfather had carefully studied the pill. The reason why the pill had such good effects was because of the medicinal ingredients!


    Thinking of this, Su An Yun couldn''t help but grit his teeth, and the hatred in his heart for Jun Qiyan increased by a bit.


    "It''s hard to say."


    Jun Qiyan did not directly answer Su An Yun''s question with a shallow smile.


    According to the previous two rounds of the competition, Jun Qiyan''s strength was still somewhat similar to Su Anyun''s. Therefore, for this round of competition, even if Jun Qiyan didn''t have a 100% chance of defeating Su Anyun, she still had a 70 to 80% chance of defeating her.


    "Hmph, let''s wait and see!"


    Su An Yun''s pride burst forth all of a sudden. Seeing that he had achieved his goal, he quickly looked back and proudly walked away.


    Although he was also looking for the best treasures in the Su Family, at the moment, it was still a competition. Completing the mission was the most important thing, thus he did not delay any further, turned around, and continued to search for the medicinal ingredients that he desired the most.


    The silver moonlight didn''t point out a clear path. Jun Qianyan traversed between the trees with great difficulty. She had to pay full attention to the various poisonous snakes, fish, and insects that were hidden beneath her feet, and pay close attention to her surroundings.


    After all, the environment here was very remote and there were a lot of high quality spiritual herbs. It was hard to say if there would be any kind of guardian beast guarding near the spiritual herbs.


    The lush leaves obscured the moonlight. Jun Qiyan had been standing in the same spot for quite a while, not knowing where to go next. Suddenly, he noticed a faint and indistinct light from the corner of his eye.


    According to the descriptions in the book, the Elemental Training Grass had a special fragrance. It could attract small beetles that emitted a faint golden light, causing them to hover in the vicinity.


    Thinking of this, Jun Qianyan was suddenly overjoyed. She couldn''t help but quicken her steps as she approached the place where the beetles were flying.


    The beetles, on the other hand, seemed to be aware of the approach of the strangers. One by one, they began to fly upwards until Jun Qiyan arrived before them. Then, all of a sudden, they dispersed.


    Jun Qiyan frowned, thinking that he had scared off the little beetle. He didn''t think too much about it. Looking at the little beetle''s hovering position, he couldn''t help but stretch out his hand. Suddenly, he felt a chill down his spine ¡­


    Jun Qiyan''s entire body shook as he slowly turned around with a slight tremble. He was the first one to see the enlarged face of a beast!


    That huge beast Jun Qiyan couldn''t say what it was like. It was like a fox, but also like a wolf!


    The fiery red fur was not obvious in the Maple Forest, and the two fangs were suffused with a vicious glow. Their long and narrow eyes revealed a murderous intent.

 C141

    The Shadow Devil Fox slowly approached Jun Qiyan, its ice-cold, shiny scales faintly reflecting light. Its blood-red eyes were staring fixedly at her, as if warning her to distance herself from the Elemental Training Grass.


    However, this Elemental Training Grass was the most important thing to concoct the Essence Nurturing Pills, and they could only be concocted by the top tier level 2 alchemist ¨C how could she give up the chance to concoct them just because of this Shadow Devil Fox?


    Jun Qiyan silently swallowed his saliva as he watched the Dark Shadow Devil Fox''s dark red tongue recklessly sticking out of its mouth, while scarlet liquid continuously flowed out from its mouth.


    It was unknown who had been injured by this beast, but Jun Qiyan knew that it was very likely that she would be the next one.


    But danger was danger. The third round of the competition was still ongoing, and the Elemental Training Grass was already right in front of her. She couldn''t possibly leave just because she couldn''t find anything, right?


    Besides, there was also that proud young mistress of the Su family who was waiting to see him make a fool of himself!


    At this moment, Jun Qiyan no longer cared about being afraid. She took out the dagger to prevent any mishaps. While directing her spirit energy, she welcomed the Shadow Devil Fox head on.


    Back then, when he was training under the Saint Silkworm, he had never encountered Shadow Devil Fox and Spiritual Beast. The top of his head was a little too big, so it didn''t seem like there was anything to be afraid of.


    As Jun Qianyan thought this, she couldn''t help but quicken her pace. After all, she was a quick and decisive person, so whether it was using force or magic to deal with this beast, she had to hurry up, or else she would fall because of insufficient stamina.


    Seeing that Jun Qiyan was the first to rush towards him, the Shadow Devil Fox was no longer polite. It raised its head and let out a furious roar ¡ª


    The Shadow Devil Fox was originally guarding the Elemental Training Grass and resting in peace when it was suddenly disturbed by Jun Qiyan, who had barged in.


    Forget it!


    Yet, at this moment, she actually still dared to provoke him. Even if he did not have any intelligence, he still knew the most basic point of all was to resist.


    The Shadow Devil Fox arched its back before Jun Qiyan could even get close to it. It seemed as if a spring that had been suppressed for a long time had been loosened. Then, it suddenly rushed towards Jun Qianyan.


    Jun Qiyan dodged to the side and then fell back to the ground. She then released a ball of fire to burn the Shadow Devil Fox.


    However, the moment the ball of fire touched the Shadow Devil Fox''s scales, it was as if water had touched the feathers of a bird. Not to mention that it had started to burn.


    "What the hell is this?"


    Jun Qiyan was shocked, he had never expected that the scales on this beast''s body would actually be immune to fire.


    Jun Qianyan gave a low "tsk" before quickly turning around. Once again, he turned around and faced the Shadow Devil Fox.


    The Shadow Devil Fox did not have the time to dodge. After being kicked by Jun Qianyan, its body fell to the side.


    The ground had caved in, and falling leaves flew everywhere, bringing with them rubble.


    The enormous Dark Shadow Devil Fox slowly stood up, raising itself up high. After letting out a furious roar, it charged towards the overconfident intruder.


    Although it could be considered flexible, it was still a bit inconvenient for the huge body to move around. Therefore, Jun Qianyan relied on her advantage to quickly appear in front of the Shadow Devil Fox and fiercely stabbed out with her blade.


    However, Jun Qiyan was once again stunned.


    He had used seventy to eighty percent of his strength, yet he had only managed to pierce through her skin?


    The blade had made a small cut on the Dark Shadow Devil Fox''s body. Not only was the Dark Shadow Devil Fox not severely injured, it had even angered it!


    After the Shadow Devil Fox was stabbed by Jun Qiyan''s blade, its huge body started to twist crazily. Even though Jun Qiyan''s movements were nimble and agile, it was still too late for her to dodge.


    "Hiss ¡ª"


    Jun Qiyan covered her wound, but couldn''t stop the blood from pouring out. She borrowed the force of the Shadow Devil Fox''s attack to leap high into the air, and landed on the trunk of another tree.


    Seeing that the Shadow Devil Fox had opened its bloody mouth, Jun Qianyan suddenly leapt forward, actually heading towards the large snake''s mouth. In her hand, there was a fireball as well as the dagger.


    Amidst the earth-shattering roars, the Shadow Devil Fox''s mouth was dripping with blood. Suddenly, a wound appeared and a fire was starting to ignite in its mouth as smoke began to rise from it.


    As Jun Qianyan double-clicked, the Shadow Devil Fox''s massive mouth was in extreme pain. Its entire body was constantly swaying, and its body was frantically rolling on the ground.


    Perhaps the Shadow Devil Fox had been a tyrant here for a long time, but it had never been provoked in such a long time and had never been seriously injured like it was now.


    The Shadow Devil Fox chased Jun Qianyan closely, pouncing towards her again and again. Seeing the opportunity, Jun Qiyan raised the dagger in her hand and flew towards the Shadow Devil Fox''s right eye that was as red as blood. Without missing a beat, the dagger stabbed straight into the Shadow Devil Fox''s right eye!


    The dagger, which had almost no handle, was quickly pulled out.


    The huge monster was immediately enraged by the attack. It suddenly flung its head and roared at Jun Qiyan, who was lying on the tree trunk. It rushed towards her, enduring the sharp pain coming from its right eye.


    Jun Qiyan crawled up and quickly hid behind a tree trunk. Then, she heard a deafening rumble from above ¡ª


    The Shadow Devil Fox crashed headfirst into a thick tree trunk, causing a large portion of the shiny black scales on its head to fall off. Blood kept oozing out, and at that moment, the tree was snapped in half and fell to the side.


    The Shadow Devil Fox was also dazzled by its own collision. It lost its strength for an instant and Jun Qiyan finally saw the opportunity. She rushed out from the side, gripped her dagger tightly in her backhand, and fiercely stabbed the dagger into the wound between the Shadow Devil Fox''s eyes.


    The Shadow Devil Fox could no longer maintain its might and immediately became dispirited. Its huge head and upper body heavily fell onto the muddy ground, which had been wet by the rain. The claws it had raised a moment ago had also heavily smashed into the ground.


    Jun Qiyan landed in front of the Shadow Devil Fox, gasping for breath. She tried to pull out the scalpel with all her might, but found that she couldn''t do anything. She could only give up.


    Jun Qiyan did not have the time to think too much about it. After recovering from her daze, she immediately went back to the Elemental Training Grass and forcefully pulled it up along with its roots.


    After he had completed his mission, Jun Qiyan was returning to the original route. When he passed by a stream, he opened up a tattered wound and looked at the tiny scratches that covered his entire body. He could only tear off a piece of cloth, soaking in the stream, and slowly clean the wound.


    Her eyebrows scrunched together in pain. She didn''t even get to put on her clothes when she suddenly felt a blow to her back. She was caught off guard and fell into the stream.


    But that was not the most deadly thing.


    The calm surface of the stream was actually surging. It was so fast that Jun Qiyan was directly flushed downstream.


    Jun Qiyan choked on the water as he ran downstream.


    When Jun Qiyan saw that the stream suddenly seemed to have no end and was only connected to the sky, she was so frightened that her complexion abruptly changed. ''This isn''t a stream, this is the upper reaches of the waterfall!''


    Jun Qiyan was about to cast his magic, but it was too late.


    Following a shriek, Jun Qiyan was washed off the waterfall and disappeared without a trace.

 C142

    When Jun Qiyan woke up, it was pitch black around her. She felt a splitting headache and her face paled.


    "Damn it!"


    Jun Qiyan cursed in a low voice. When she thought of Su An Yun, the coldness on her face increased even more.


    If it wasn''t for her being too careless, this situation wouldn''t have happened!


    After taking a deep breath, Jun Qiyan began to observe the surrounding terrain.


    There was no point in complaining, she could only hurry and find a way out.


    Thinking of this, Jun Qiyan began to explore her surroundings.


    Meanwhile, Su An Yun, who had taken Jun Qiyan down the cliff, was a little distracted.


    That cliff is so high...


    That brat couldn''t have died just like that, right? When she thought of this, Su An Yun felt bad. She only wanted to teach that brat a lesson. She didn''t really want to kill him ¡­


    "An Yun, do you think you can use this herb?"


    His companion saw that Su An Yun was silent for a while, and then he suspiciously nudged Su An Yun.


    Su An Yun came back to his senses.


    "Huh?"


    Su Anyun looked at the people next to her as if she was still in a daze. She then said, "There''s no need for that."


    The companion at the side looked at Su An Yun with worry and asked with concern, "Are you alright? I see that your complexion isn''t too good."


    Su An Yun''s face was as white as a sheet. He forced out a smile, but that smile was even uglier than crying.


    "I just didn''t get a good rest last night." Su Anyun said.


    In the end, Su An Yun was only a 14 or 15 year old child. Killing people was something that had always been out of Su An Yun''s reach.


    Su An Yun found it hard to accept someone suddenly falling off the cliff in front of him.


    Jun Qiyan, who was standing to the side, also barely managed to figure out his position.


    She fell off a cliff and into a cave.


    Why would he ask about the eagle when he was in the cave?


    Jun Qiyan cautiously looked at the colossal creature in front of her. She was afraid that she had accidentally landed on the body of this third-ranked Winged Hawk.


    He was then brought to this cave by the Winged Hawk.


    Jun Qiyan held his breath, not wanting to alarm the Class 3 Magical Beast.


    Even though a Class 3 Magical Beast was a piece of cake to Jun Qiyan.


    However, sometimes things just didn''t work out according to one''s wishes. The more Jun Qianyan didn''t want to cross paths with the Winged Hawk, the more it wanted to die.


    "Shriek ~ ~"


    The deafening cry of a bird almost pierced Jun Qiyan''s eardrums. Jun Qiyan''s brows were tightly knitted together. She turned around and looked behind her back at the eagle, which was at least ten times larger than her own size.


    Why are there humans here!


    The eagle stared straight at Jun Qiyan, his eyes seemed to say, "Since you''re here to deliver this delicacy, then I won''t hold back!"


    "Heh ¡­" Jun Qiyan lifted his hair with a single hand, and two small flames ignited in the depths of his eyes. He had been plotted against by Su An Yun, and now this foolish old man was fighting to be his punching bag?


    "Chirp chirp chirp chirp!"


    Aooo! Don''t hit your face, sob sob, since when have humans been so perverted!


    The Winged Hawk took its huge wings and covered its face, completely dodging the attack of Jun Qiyan.


    After Jun Qiyan got tired of beating them, he sat on the stone and panted as he looked to the side. He felt wronged like a young wife who had spread her wings.


    He was thinking about how he should get out of here.


    She doesn''t have the ability to ride a cloud...


    He rode on a cloud of mist!


    Jun Qiyan caught the key words, then looked at the Winged Eagle with a smile; it had been beaten up by him just now.


    "Chirp chirp chirp chirp!"


    [What the hell is going on?] What did this demon want to do!?


    "Haha, you can say that we are friends after a fight ¡­"


    Jun Qiyan "gentle" this feather that touch spreading wing eagle, smile is not deceitful.


    "Chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp!"


    Humans! I will never give in! You want me to be your mount! In his next life!


    As a magical beast, the Winged Peng rejected Jun Qiyan almost without a second thought.


    When Jun Qiyan saw this, the smile on his face disappeared completely.


    "Crack crack."


    The quiet cave suddenly resounded with waves of crisp sounds.


    This wave of crisp sounds was undoubtedly a horn from hell to the Winged Peng.


    Chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp!" The Winged Peng felt its fur stand up. Just what kind of woman did she provoke?!


    Crazy woman! Calm down! I''ll take you up! Can''t I bring you up there! Facing life and dignity, the Winged Peng didn''t hesitate to choose the former.


    In this regard, the Winged Peng didn''t have the slightest burden in its heart. It kept the green mountain as its home and wasn''t afraid of not having any firewood to burn!


    As a result, a scene like this appeared. A great roc was carrying a 14 or 15 year old girl. This made many of the contestants feel greatly shocked. This was simply a false accusation, how could they report this!


    Jun Qiyan frowned as he soared in the sky, a smile curling up at the corner of his mouth.


    With Spreading Winged Peng, it was much easier for Jun Qiyan to pick herbs than before.


    In less than half a day, Jun Qiyan had already prepared the herbs she needed.


    After Jun Qiyan left, a system notification sounded.


    "Number one, Yin Mu Jiu has left the secret realm."


    As a result of Jun Qiyan''s previous competition, Jun Qiyan is now considered to have a small reputation.


    Su Anyun widened her eyes in disbelief. How was this possible!


    That kid had clearly already fallen off the cliff. Even if he wanted to climb out, he wouldn''t be this fast ¡­ Not to mention looking for medicinal herbs!


    Su An Yun thought for a moment and a look of understanding appeared on his face.


    That kid must have been stuck at the bottom of the cliff! That was why he was forced to quit!


    Thinking of this, Su An Yun couldn''t help but feel more balanced. Yin Mujian, so what if you''re the champion of the second round?!


    The final champion could only be her, Su An Yun!


    At this time, Jun Qianyan didn''t know that her departure had caused a huge uproar within the secret realm. After she had left the secret realm, she had directly entered into the Nuwa Stone.


    Jun Qiyan placed the prepared herbal medicine in front of him.


    With a thought, the Primordial Cauldron appeared in front of Jun Feiyan, who then ignited a black flame.


    Soul Devouring Flame.


    The corners of Jun Qiyan''s lips curled up in a smile. A good crucible and flame would greatly increase the quality of a medicinal pill!


    Jun Qianyan held his breath as he attentively extracted all of the spirituality within the medicinal pellet. He then placed it into the Primordial Cauldron; the Soul Devouring Flame was also ignited in real time.


    A gloomy and gloomy light lit up the surroundings. Jun Qiyan held her breath, not daring to make the slightest mistake. Under Tao''s guidance, she had only picked one medicinal pill!


    The pill that Jun Qiyan was about to refine was called the Pei-Yuan Dan, it could nourish a person''s spirit root.


    That was a grade-2 pill! Only a grade-3 apothecary would be able to forge such a pill!

 C143

    After the last step was completed, Jun Qianyan breathed a sigh of relief. But before she could react, dark clouds suddenly covered the sky and a thunderclap sounded.


    "Rumble!"


    Jun Qiyan looked at the scene in front of him in a daze.


    "This is thunder tribulation." Ball who was at the side said in a childish voice.


    Lightning tribulation?


    It could be said that Jun Qianyan was completely stupefied; how could she not know that there was such a thing?!


    The ball looked at Jun Qiyan with sympathy, then said with good intentions, "Regardless of cultivation or pill refinement, mother will experience a tribulation of lightning in the future!"


    At the same time the ball hit the ground, a bolt of lightning shot down from the sky and struck the bottom of Jun Qiyan''s feet, causing a burst of sparks.


    "Only a small number of people would experience a lightning tribulation. A lightning tribulation would appear for a tier two alchemist and above. Every time they refined a pill, they would encounter a lightning tribulation."


    The ball looked at Jun Qiyan, who was jumping up and down from being struck by the lightning bolt, and spoke with a straight face.


    "That''s not right!" Jun Qianyan suddenly recalled that Grandmaster Bluemoon was a fourth-grade alchemist. She hurriedly added, "Grandmaster Bluelion usually does not undergo a tribulation of lightning when he refines pills."


    Upon hearing these words, Ball looked at Jun Qianyan with a look of disdain, and continued, "I''ve already told you, only a small number of people will experience this, and it''s divided between luck and character. After all, it''s random. Some people can''t meet even once in their entire lives, and some people ¡­"


    Ball wanted to say something, but stopped himself as he glanced at Jun Qiyan, who was completely stunned by the lightning.


    It was unknown when Jun Qiyan had accidentally been struck by a bolt of lightning. Right now, her hair was charred black. Her originally white face was also jet-black, making her look both awkward and funny.


    "Heavenly Dao your ass!"


    She, Jun Qiyan, was sometimes a bit shameless, but there was no need to treat her like this, right?!


    Jun Qiyan looked to the side at the ball, which was in search of a good show. Jun Qiyan felt that the expression on the ball was very familiar; it was as if the snake was looking at her every now and then!


    He gave her that cute ball from before!


    After Jun Qiyan finished refining the pill, he left the Nuwa Stone. The other contestants had just finished gathering the herbs from the secret realm.


    Su An Yun looked at the nearby Jun Qianyan, who was leisurely enjoying her life, and the corner of his mouth raised into a mocking smile.


    "Yin Mu Jiu, even if you can''t gather any good herbs, you shouldn''t give up so easily, right?"


    Su An Yun specially raised his voice to let the surrounding disciples take note of their situation.


    Jun Qiyan looked at the solo performer coldly.


    "No matter what, you are still the disciple of Grandmaster Qing Yun. If you are unable to refine some of the best medicinal pills ¡­" Su An Yun covered his face and chuckled, his tone full of provocation.


    "Miss Su, you only have to worry about yourself. It''s good that you use your own strength to refine pills, you can''t go to such an unorthodox place!"


    Jun Qiyan retorted without any trace of politeness.


    "You!" Su Anyun''s beautiful eyes seemed like they were about to pop out.


    Everyone present was an elite from the various academies. In addition, Su Anyun''s image of herself making trouble in the second round of the competition had already become deeply ingrained in the hearts of the people.


    "I remember that Grandpa Su An Yun is the person in charge of this Alchemist Competition, so his grandfather might give her some water!"


    "Does that even need to be said?"


    "If that''s the case, then aren''t they too shameless!"


    Su Anyun opened her eyes wide and wanted to curse, but when she thought of her grandfather''s orders, she forcefully swallowed the words that were already on the tip of her tongue.


    Hmph, what''s the use of trying to be quick!


    Jun Qiyan narrowed her eyes as she watched Su An Yun''s departing figure.


    Time flew by, and three days soon passed. The competition grounds were packed with people, and the first place of the Alchemist Competition would be snatched by the various great clans.


    It could be said that as long as one became an outstanding figure in the Alchemist Competition, it would be a glorious event for the rest of one''s life.


    "I am the referee of the third round of the Apothecary Competition." A white-haired old man suddenly appeared in front of everyone.


    Cang Mo was by far the most famous alchemist master in the alchemist industry. Even the Cyan Edge Grandmaster and Elder Su had to respectfully address him as'' Senior ''.


    Cang Mo stood in the middle and ignored the compliments of the others.


    When Su An Yun saw Cang Mo''s figure, the expression on his face clearly became more tense.


    If it was any other judge, he could have suppressed them with his identity, or bribed them with money and pills. But how could Cang Mo lack these things?


    Su An Yun thought for a while before calming himself down. The only one who was his opponent was that brat Yin Mo Jiu.


    However, that boy did not have any good medicines, so he would definitely not be able to concoct any medicinal pellets. Thus, in this competition, only he could possibly be the only one to win.


    Cang Mo did not say anything and just started inspecting everyone''s elixirs.


    Within the time it took for an incense stick to burn, Cang Mo had finished inspecting all the pills.


    "I hereby officially announce that the victor of the Alchemist Competition is Yin Muju!" As Cang Mo''s voice fell, the crowd burst into an uproar.


    Only Su Anyun could not accept this.


    "How is this possible? You must be mistaken! How could this brat be the champion? "


    Su An Yun uncontrollably pointed at Jun Qianyun, while everyone in the audience looked at him as if they were looking at a fool.


    [Is this woman''s brain playing tricks on me?!] Cang Mo, however, dared to doubt it!


    "Are you doubting my expertise?!" Master Cang Mo narrowed his eyes and looked at Su An Yun with an unfriendly expression.


    Su An Yun realized what she was saying. Her face was flustered and she wanted to explain herself, "That''s not what I meant ¡­"


    If he offended Grandmaster Cang Mo, then he wouldn''t need to stay in the Alchemist industry; even his own grandfather wouldn''t be able to protect him!


    "Humph!" Come and take a look at Yin Muju''s pills. " Cang Mo pointed at the pill in front of him as he coldly spoke.


    "This is Pei-Yuan Dan!" Cang Mo brushed his loose sleeves and continued, "In order to reach this level, apothecaries must be at least at the third rank. If you keep working hard, you might even surpass me in the future!"


    Cang Mo patted Jun Qiyan''s shoulder, his eyes filled with praise.


    The envoys of the various families were going crazy. Cang Mo had never praised anyone in so many Alchemist competitions! It could be said that after Cang Mo''s words, no one dared to say anything untoward.


    "Senior, you are flattering me. There are still many things that are lacking in the younger generation." Jun Qiyan said humbly without showing any arrogance in her expression

 C144

    Su An Yun stared at the proud and composed young man in front of him. Damn brat!


    What are you pretending for! In his heart, he was obviously overjoyed to death, yet he still pretended that this was within his expectations. This was truly annoying!


    Elder Su squinted his eyes, seeing that the situation was not right, he immediately said: "Hahahaha, truly out of the blue, better than the blue!"


    "Mo Jiu, you are even more powerful than your teacher from back then."


    Elder Su stroked his beard with a benevolent look, but his heart was already bursting with anger.


    Jun Qiyan didn''t pay attention to Elder Su''s praise. Instead, he turned around and said to Su An Yun who was on the verge of exploding:


    "Miss Su, I remember that you made a bet with me to give a treasure to whoever is the final champion ¡­"


    Jun Qiyan looked fixedly at Su An Yun.


    Su An Yun''s body froze as he recalled the words he had said to Jun Qianyan, and his intestines turned green with regret.


    But in front of everyone, it wasn''t good for her to act shamelessly, so she could only take out a set of snake bone whip from her Spatial Ring.


    "Here!" Su Anyun said as she clenched her teeth.


    This was truly a loss for his wife and his soldiers!


    Jun Qiyan smiled as she received the item from Su An Yun. She didn''t forget to say something even though she had obtained it.


    "Miss Su is indeed from a well-known family. The moment she makes a move, she is no ordinary person."


    Su An Yun gritted her teeth so hard that they were about to shatter. She stomped her feet and left the competition grounds without looking back.


    Jun Qiyan looked at Su An Yun''s departing back, and narrowed her eyes. It was unknown what she was thinking about.


    "Little brother, are you interested in becoming the exclusive apothecary of our clan?"


    A middle-aged man was the first to speak with a fawning smile.


    Jun Qiyan shot him a glance. That person should be an elder of a big clan in the West Chu Country.


    "Little brother, don''t worry!" We definitely won''t treat you unfairly when you come to our clan. We can satisfy all of your needs. "


    The middle-aged man said with a smile, as if he was determined to win.


    "Chen Feng, you old fox ¡­" Brother Muji, don''t listen to him! If you come to our clan, our treatment will definitely be ten times better! "


    The other man quickly added, unwilling to fall behind.


    Jun Qiyan expressionlessly looked at the two men who were about to start a fight.


    "Come here! "Our sect''s treatment is better than theirs ¡­"


    "You old bastards, I clearly asked for it from Brother Mo Jiu first!"


    The middle-aged man who was initially called Chen Feng was so angry that his nose was about to turn crooked. He looked at the people who were fighting to be the first to send out invitations to Jun Qi, wanting to snatch her home.


    A fifteen-year-old Tier 3 Pill Refiner... He was also personally stepped over by Grandmaster Cang Mo, and at the same time, he was also the last disciple of Grandmaster Qing Yun.


    Regardless of which one it was, it was enough to make them go crazy over it!


    "The Sword Spirit Sect needs a talent like you. Come to the Sword Spirit Sect."


    Just as everyone was about to start fighting, a voice rang out, silencing the noisy surroundings.


    Sword Spirit Sect...


    Everyone present were all people from large clans, so they naturally thought, "The Sword Spirit Sect ¡­"


    Jun Qiyan narrowed his eyes as he looked at the person who had sent him the invitation.


    The other party was holding his head high, as if giving him alms.


    Sword Spirit Sect!


    Jun Qiyan''s gaze turned increasingly cold. She did not have a good impression of this sect that had almost taken her life.


    "I''m sorry, but I will not join any of your organizations."


    Jun Qiyan unceremoniously refused, "I feel that there''s a better future than staying in the Sword Spirit Sect."


    When Jun Qiyan''s voice fell, the entire arena grew even quieter. Everyone felt as if Jun Qiyan had gone mad.


    What did this brat just say?


    Staying in Tanas Academy has a better future than staying in the Sword Spirit Sect?!


    Everyone was well aware that the Sword Spirit Sect and Tanasha Academy were sworn enemies for many years.


    After all, they were two of the top forces in the Eastern Xuan Continent.


    However, there was no one who would dare to directly break this relationship. Moreover, this boy''s words clearly stated, "The Sword Spirit Sect is inferior to Tynes Academy."


    Everyone present looked at the Emissary from the Sword Spirit Sect in silence. Indeed, that person''s face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.


    Everyone silently sighed in their hearts as they thought that this pill refiner with such a high talent was actually a fool. He even helped Jun Qi burn some incense for Jun Mo Xie.


    Jun Qiyan didn''t feel that anything she''d said was amiss, and continued to look at the envoy with a smile.


    Although the envoy was so angry that his whole body was trembling, he couldn''t do anything to Jun Qiyan in front of so many people.


    He just took Jun Qiyan''s words to heart and prepared to settle his debts afterwards.


    "Humph!" Do you know what you are saying? "If you miss this opportunity, you will just have to beg. Our Sword Spirit Sect will not ¡­"


    The messenger hadn''t finished speaking.


    Jun Qiyan interrupted him with an impatient look.


    "I, Yin Muju, refuse your invitation. Do you understand?" Jun Qianyan kept on saying, and then added as if he was not afraid of the situation:


    "Even if I''m old, my ears won''t work ¡­"


    Everyone: "..."


    Jun Qiyan lowered his voice at the end, but the people present were not ordinary people.


    "You! "You!"


    That supervisor was so angry that his chest was rising and falling continuously, as if he was about to faint after a second.


    Jun Qiyan looked at that person with an innocent expression.


    "Brat, just you wait!" The supervisor said while clenching his teeth.


    "What, the envoy wants to do something to my beloved disciple?" Grandmaster Greencloud stared at that person as he coldly spoke.


    When the supervisor saw the Grandmaster Blue-Edge stand out, his heart trembled.


    Grandmaster Green Edge was not like this kid, who was still a seedling and couldn''t withstand even the tiniest bit of wind and rain.


    Master Greenwood was a kind person, and those who had received his favor were spread throughout the entire Eastern Xuan Continent. As long as Master Greencloud wanted to, half of the experts in the Eastern Xuan Continent would serve him. At that time, even the Sword Spirit Sect would find it difficult to deal with him.


    "What are you saying, Grandmaster Bluemoon?"


    Thinking about that, the supervisor''s expression slightly relaxed, and said: "Why would little brother Mo Jiu make a move against him?


    "This is for the best. Otherwise, I would think that if the Sword Spirit Sect doesn''t have someone, they will be destroyed!"


    The Green Edge Grandmaster snorted coldly as he spoke impolitely.


    "Little Mo Jiu, let''s go." Master Cyan Edge took Jun Qiyan''s hand and left the arena without looking back.


    The supervisor secretly clenched his teeth. The viciousness in his eyes became more apparent as he looked at the two figures getting further and further away.


    Genius?


    Humph! Since he couldn''t get it, then no one could use it!


    There were countless geniuses in history, but in the end, there were only one or two that could become true experts.


    Why is that?


    Naturally, it wasn''t because these geniuses weren''t diligent enough or outstanding enough, but because the light emitted from their bodies was too dazzling. There were too many people''s jealousy, and too many people were afraid. As a result, most of these geniuses died young ¡­


    For example, this brat ¡­


    The supervisor''s eyes were filled with killing intent.

 C145

    After Jun Qiyan left the arena, the two walked side by side on the main street.


    While walking, Master Green Edge suddenly spoke up, "Su Xun and I were once the direct disciples of Master Cang Mo."


    When Jun Qianyan heard Grandmaster Qing Yun''s words, she couldn''t help but be startled. She hadn''t thought that there would be such a relationship between the three of them ¡­


    "Back then, before we became Grandmaster Cang Mo''s disciples, Su Xun and I were the best brothers."


    "We have made up our minds to become the most famous apothecary in the entire Eastern Xuan Continent. We want to save the dying and help the wounded, and we want to live for a thousand years!"


    The words of the Green Edge Grandmaster seemed to have returned to his youth.


    "Back then, the two of us were willing to join Grandmaster Cang Mo at the same time. I never thought that this would be the start of the battle between the two of us."


    It was obvious that these memories were nothing good to him.


    "In the past, Su Xun''s pill cultivating talent was much higher than mine, but Grandmaster Cang Mo had always focused on cultivating me. This might have been the reason why Su Xun hated me later on."


    Jun Qiyan silently listened, her expression did not change. She knew Su Xun was Su An Yun''s grandfather, Elder Su.


    "Su Xun had provoked me time and time again, but I always tolerated it on account of being in the same sect ¡­"


    Grandmaster Green Edge trembled. He was extremely disgusted by that memory.


    "I originally thought that this would allow him to calm down a bit, but over time, he actually became more and more arrogant, and even started to have the heartless thought of deceiving my master and destroying my ancestors!"


    The last few words of his were spoken word by word. He was enraged to the extreme.


    Even Jun Qiyan was startled. No wonder she had always felt that Cang Mo had never been kind to Su An Yun.


    "Su Xun''s disrespect was exposed and he was expelled from the sect. I don''t know what happened afterwards. It was only after all these years that I found out that he became an elder of the Alchemist Association."


    Jun Qiyan''s brows were knitted tightly together. The matter of Su Xun becoming an elder of the Alchemist Association was definitely not as simple as it seemed on the surface.


    "Teacher ¡­" Jun Qiyan couldn''t help but cry out as she looked at the suffering appearance of the Green Edge Grandmaster.


    After Greenedge calmed down for a few seconds, he let out a sigh. "You have to be more careful in the next few days. The Sword Spirit Sect and Su Xun are not easy targets."


    "You offended both of them just now."


    As the Green Edge Grandmaster spoke, the expression on Jun Qianyan''s face grew more serious.


    She then shrugged her shoulders and pretended to be indifferent as she said, "What''s there to be afraid of? We have to take care of everything that comes our way!"


    Grandmaster Green Edge smiled and shook his head. If anyone else had heard him say this, they would probably be scared to the point that they would piss their pants.


    Just as Jun Qiyan and Grandmaster Qing Yun were conversing, Grandmaster Qing Yun''s contact list suddenly rang. Grandmaster Qing Yun glanced at the name written on it, and then looked at Jun Qianyan.


    A conflicted expression appeared on his face.


    Jun Qianyan and the others were smart enough to quickly understand the meaning behind Grandmaster Greencloud''s words.


    "Teacher, I''m going over there to buy something." Jun Qiyan smiled as he pointed at the weapons shop in front of him.


    Master Cyan Edge Grandmaster nodded his head.


    "Boss, how much is this worth?" Jun Qiyan passed the snake bone whip that Su Yun had lost to him to the weapon store owner.


    The boss picked up the snake bone whip in Jun Qiyan''s hand, looked at it for a moment, then smiled and said, "Little brother, we don''t have any way to bid for this whip."


    When Jun Qiyan heard this, she frowned. The boss continued, "Your snake bone whip''s value is too high. I''m afraid it''s enough for me to pawn my own shop to you."


    "However, I have a treasure here ¡­ If you like it, we''ll treat it as bartering. "


    When Jun Qiyan heard these words, his wrinkled eyebrows relaxed slightly. She then took the wooden box from the boss'' hand.


    As soon as Jun Qiyan received the wooden box, she could feel that it wasn''t made of ordinary material. Moreover, there seemed to be a powerful force sealed within it.


    "This is ¡­" Jun Qiyan slowly opened the box. A heaven-shaking, earth-shattering cold energy swept over. A gray-green sword lay peacefully within the box. Jun Qianyan looked at the weapon dealer in surprise.


    "This is an Ice Sealing Sword." The boss said in a triumphant tone.


    "Whenever someone with Water Spirit Roots uses it, all water-type skills will freeze."


    Jun Qiyan''s eyes lit up. Although she had fire spirit roots and wood spirit roots, she had the Water Spirit Pearl!


    "How is it still okay?" The owner said with a smile.


    Jun Qiyan nodded. Before she obtained Heaven Breaker, she could only use this Frozen End Sword.


    After Jun Qianyan put away her Frozen End sword, Grandmaster Blue-Edge walked over at the right time.


    "Muji, something happened at Tanas Academy. I need to rush back immediately!"


    Master Qing Yun walked up to Jun Qianyan and spoke in an anxious voice. The hand holding the address book was trembling slightly, and a look of anxiety was rare to be seen on his face.


    Jun Qiyan looked at Grandmaster Qing Yun''s expression, and felt that something was amiss. She didn''t have time to ask any further questions, and could only nod in agreement.


    "Other than the ceremony to receive the award, there''s nothing else for us to do. Teacher, you should hurry back."


    Master Cyan Edge nodded and left Jun Qiyan''s line of sight.


    Something happened to Tanas Academy?


    Jun Qiyan''s heart couldn''t help but turn serious.


    "Oh, so this is the kid?" A disdainful voice rang out.


    Jun Qiyan''s footsteps paused as he looked up to see the source of the voice.


    Several tens of strong men suddenly appeared in front of Jun Qiyan. The leader of these men was covered in strips of cloth, revealing only his pair of eyes. He looked extremely sinister and miserable.


    Behind him was an ordinary-looking man with a large blade in his hand.


    "The employer is so outrageous. Why would he need to send out so many of our brothers when he''s still a wet behind the ears ¡­"


    Employer?


    Jun Qiyan frowned. Was she being watched again?


    "Stop bullshitting, if you cripple him, hurry up and retreat." The person in the lead didn''t have any intention of making a move, so it wasn''t hard for him to urge the man behind him.


    The corner of Jun Qiyan''s mouth curled up in a cold smile, and a trace of a terrifying smile flashed across his eyes.

 C146

    "Cripple me ¡­" Jun Qiyan covered his face as the curve of his mouth became more and more obvious.


    "You all still have to have the ability to do so!"


    As the sound of his voice faded, Jun Qiyan pulled out her ice sword.


    In an instant! The color of the clouds and the wind changed. Countless dark clouds drifted by.


    With Jun Qiyan at the center, the ground suddenly froze.


    Jun Qiyan''s eyes were bloodshot. She could feel that the Water Spirit''s Pearl inside her body was in a state of ecstasy. An unprecedented energy flooded Jun Qiyan''s body.


    "This... What is this thing! "Oh no, I can''t move my feet!"


    "Water element?" Ice Sealing Sword? " The man in the lead, whose entire body was covered in bandages, narrowed his eyes as he licked the corner of his lips excitedly with his scarlet tongue.


    "Boss, there''s something wrong with this kid!" The man swallowed his saliva at the start and looked at Jun Feiyan in surprise.


    "The information clearly says Fire Spirit Root, Wood Spirit Root, an apothecary profession!" How could this brat use water-type spells!? " That person looked strangely at Jun Qiyan, as though he was looking at a monster.


    According to common sense, fire and water spirit roots couldn''t coexist together, but the water spirit pearls were different!


    "Shut up, trash. Don''t I know that this kid is strange? You don''t need to say it. "


    The man in the lead said in a dissatisfied tone.


    "Kid, so what if I have three attributes? This day next year will still be the day of your death! Oh yeah... I forgot to introduce myself, I''m Zo Mu. "


    Jun Qiyan tilted his head and said innocently, "Zou Mu? Never heard of it.


    "Stinking brat!" "You actually don''t even know the name of our boss ¡­"


    The man behind Zou Mu started to shout in dissatisfaction.


    "Shut up ¡­" So noisy! " Only when there was no sound from behind him, did he finally look at Jun Qiyan.


    "I never bully the weak with my strength. You should make the first move."


    Jun Qianyan coldly glared at the man who had addressed her as Zuo Mu. Without the slightest trace of politeness, she gripped her Ice Sealing Sword tightly in her hand and roared angrily as she steadily slashed at the man in front of her.


    The huge gale mixed with countless ice blades sent up a cloud of dust.


    A moment later, countless specks of dust fell to the ground. When Jun Qiyan clearly saw the situation in front of her, the expression on her face froze.


    Unknowingly, an enormous earthen wall had appeared in front of Zuo Mu and the others. Countless ice blades had been blocked.


    "A bit of strength ¡­" Zuo Mu looked at Jun Qiyan with glowing eyes, as if he was looking at some rare treasure.


    "What a pity ¡­" "If you weren''t someone the employer wanted by name, I would have taken you back and used you as my experimental subject ¡­"


    Zuo Mu excitedly spoke some words that Jun Qiyan could not understand.


    Jun Qiyan didn''t want to waste words with his opponent, so she raised her sword and ran off in the direction of Zhuo Mu.


    "Close combat? "Interesting." After Zo Mu finished speaking, a long spear appeared in his hand.


    "Bam!"


    As the long sword and the long spear clashed, a loud sound was emitted. A layer of invisible waves of air quickly spread and overturned the crowd that had been frozen by Jun Feiyan.


    Jun Qiyan was also shaken by this force, and staggered a few steps back.


    "Cough, cough."


    Jun Qiyan covered her mouth as she let out a dry cough. Before she could react, Zou Mu had already seized the opportunity to attack.


    "Kid, you are not my match. If you surrender now, I will leave you with an intact corpse!" Zuo Mu said arrogantly.


    Jun Qiyan''s lips were bloodless. Just as Zuo Mu had said, she was no match for him.


    Impossible!


    "Heh, surrender without a fight? "Let''s try this first!" A black flame was ignited in Jun Qianyan''s hand, and she didn''t hesitate to throw it at the other party.


    There was no way to dodge it!


    Although Zuo Mu reacted in time, the corner of his shirt was ignited by the Soul Devouring Flame.


    In just a split-second, the bandages on Zuo Mu''s body were instantly burnt to ashes, and his skinny chest was exposed to the air.


    Jun Qiyan''s pupils abruptly constricted. Not a single piece of his skin was intact. His skin was covered in needle marks, sealed scars, and some bruises.


    How is this possible!? The thing that the Soul Devouring Flame could burn for a long time would be reduced to ashes if it was touched by even a little bit of it. Why did it burn away with the strap on its body?


    Furthermore, this person said something about experiments. Could it be that ¡­


    Jun Qiyan was shocked by his own bold idea.


    "Bandage..." "My bandage ¡­"


    Zou Mu frantically grabbed the bandages that were already burnt into powder, wanting to cover his body. However, all of this was in vain.


    Jun Qiyan''s eyes narrowed. He planned to not do anything at all. He would not rest until this Zuo Mu was dead, and take advantage of this moment when he wasn''t paying attention!


    Thinking up to this point, Jun Qiyan no longer hesitated. She raised the sword in her hand and chopped at Zombo''s neck.


    "Whoosh!" The ear-piercing sound made everyone feel extremely uncomfortable.


    "What the f * ck ¡­"


    Jun Qiyan couldn''t help but swear. He really couldn''t blame her.


    This was because the sword in his hand did not deal the slightest bit of damage to his opponent! Jun Qiyan felt as if he had just struck a hard iron board.


    "Puchi!"


    Jun Qiyan''s pupils suddenly contracted as she stiffly lowered her head to look at the hand that had pierced through her body.


    "Soul Devouring Flame, Ice Sealing Sword ¡­ A possessor of the Hahahaha Three Attributes? Interesting, this is too interesting! "


    Zuo Mu couldn''t help but laugh towards the sky. His scarlet eyes were half hidden by the shattered hair on his head. A moment later, he abruptly retracted his hand that had pierced through Jun Qiyan''s body.


    Jun Qianyan looked at the bloody hole in her stomach, then slowly raised her head and looked at the man before her.


    This guy ¡­ He had been hiding his strength!


    Jun Qiyan fell straight to the ground, the ground was completely dyed red by his blood, like a blooming Resurrection Lily.


    "Kid, aren''t you pretty capable?"


    He squatted down and patted Jun Qiyan''s cheek. His eyes looked like he was looking at a corpse.


    Jun Qiyan clenched his teeth tightly, unable to move due to the excruciating pain in his body.


    Within the space, the Octadic Snake frantically struck against the Nuwa Stone''s barrier.


    "Why can''t I go out! Let me out! I will kill that scum! "


    The Octadic Snake bellowed out, "Fatty, speak up! Aren''t you the guardian spirit of the Nuwa Stone! "


    The ball''s large eyes were filled with tears. She shook her head in panic, unable to understand the current situation. She had never encountered such a situation since he was born ¡­


    "Possibly... "Perhaps there is something that is able to suppress the Nuwa Stone ¡­"


    "Could it be?"


    The Octadic Snake''s eyes were bloodshot as he watched the ball. He clenched his fists tightly, hating his own incompetence. Was he going to just watch as she died ¡­


    Jun Qiyan''s consciousness gradually dissipated, and her pupils also began to dissipate. Other than the time she had transmigrated, this was the first time she had felt death so close to her.


    "Boss ¡­" "Dead." One of the men looked at Jun Qiyan''s corpse indifferently.


    "Bring the body back, I want to study it." Zuo Mu looked at Jun Qiyan who was lying on the ground, and his eyes shone with excitement.


    "Yes." The rest of them were just about to move Jun Qiyan''s body when a man behind them suddenly cried out in alarm, "Boss, the people over there are coming over."


    Zo Mu''s expression suddenly changed.


    "How could the people over there know where we are?!"


    "No matter what, boss, we should just leave." One of them revealed a frightened expression.


    "What about this person?" I don''t know who, but he pointed at Jun Qiyan who was lying on the ground


    "Idiot!" "I don''t want it anymore, hurry up and leave!" Zhamu roared.

 C147

    It was snowing heavily, with snowflakes flying about and a hurricane blowing past. It was difficult to open one''s eyes.


    Standing in the middle of the snowstorm, Di Mo Jiu was tirelessly looking at a group of strange monsters, which seemed to be endless.


    Di Mo Jiu''s body suddenly stiffened. His cold face was now trembling. His eyes suddenly turned blood-red, like a demon that had just crawled out of hell.


    That little girl''s aura ¡­ Disappeared?


    Di Mo Jiu looked around with uncertainty, but there was no information at all!


    How is this possible?!


    Di Mo Jiu''s body started trembling uncontrollably. While Di Mo Jiu was absent-minded, the huge monster was rushing towards him and steadily biting onto his arm.


    "Hiss!"


    The sound of flesh being torn apart did not cause the slightest bit of disturbance in the battlefield. The monsters that saw the blood instead charged towards Di Mo Jiu in excitement.


    Di Mo Jiu''s face turned pale. He howled in rage, creating a powerful energy wave that overturned all the monsters around him.


    Xiao Yan, I won''t let anything happen to you!


    After Jun Qiyan lost consciousness, she felt completely muddleheaded. Memories of two lifetimes had simultaneously surfaced in her mind, causing her to have a splitting headache.


    "Boss, why did you save this kid?"


    A man wearing a mask asked as he looked at Jun Qianyan, who had already finished her treatment.


    He was well aware of his boss''s character. Smiling like a tiger, he never did useless things, never leaving useless people behind.


    To them, this brat''s skills were inferior and it was normal for him to be killed. After all, this was a world where the strong preyed on the weak.


    Either you die, or I die.


    Boy?" "Ao Xiong, take a good look at her and see if she''s a man or a woman." Yan Ruyu looked at the unconscious Jun Qianyan with a faint smile. A trace of playfulness flashed across her lips. This woman was not simple at all.


    Ao Xiong''s face flashed with a trace of astonishment. He rubbed his eyes and used his perception to investigate the situation, his mouth wide open in shock.


    "This woman is related to that person from the Divine Arts Pavilion."


    As she spoke of the Divine Arts Pavilion, Yan Ruyu''s teeth started to itch. Back then, both he and Di Mo Jiu had left a group of people in the Eastern Xuan Continent.


    Back then, when he had first received the name "Deities Templar", he had immediately changed it to "Divine Arts Pavilion".


    However, this was extremely interesting. He had known that person for tens of thousands of years, but he still hadn''t discovered any female creatures around him. Yet, this woman had his aura on her.


    Yan Ruyu slowly removed the disguise on Jun Qianyan''s face, exposing her extremely beautiful face to the air. "Wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwang@@


    Ao Xiong''s breath tightened, damn, I''ve never seen such a beautiful girl in my life.


    "Boss, why don''t we snatch it back and become a wife of a stronghold?" Ao Xiong mumbled.


    "Whap." Yan Ruyu slapped Ao Xiong''s head, "Be careful, we are not bandits, what are we fighting for ¡­"


    Snatch it back? That fellow must not flatten her shrine!


    "Strong is not allowed ¡­ "But you can cheat me out of it." Yan Ruyu didn''t feel that his words were too vile. She rubbed her chin, and with an eager expression, he wanted to give it a try.


    He really couldn''t wait to see that man going crazy, yet he couldn''t do anything about it.


    "Boss is wise!" Ao Xiong said in worship.


    As the two conversed, the unconscious Jun Qiyan slowly woke up.


    Jun Qiyan only felt an aching pain all over her body as she subconsciously touched her lower abdomen.


    "I have already treated your wounds. Little beauty, are you so touched that you need to repay me with your body?" Yan Ruyu blinked his beautiful eyes as he continued to fire electricity at Jun Qiyan.


    Black lines appeared on Jun Qiyan''s forehead.


    "You saved me?" Jun Qiyan looked around.


    Was this in a carriage?


    "Lord, in order to save you, you must have expended a lot of divine power." Ao Xiong looked disdainfully at Jun Qiyan as he coldly spoke.


    Divine power?


    Who were they?


    "May I ask who you are ¡­" Jun Qiyan looked at the two of them warily. He did not let his guard down just because they had saved him.


    She could feel that Yan Ruyu and Ao Xiong''s strength were far above hers ¡­


    It was even much stronger than the one that almost killed him, Zou Mu!


    "Who I am is not important. If you don''t have anything to do, then don''t stay here with me. I don''t raise idle people." Yan Ruyu suddenly had a look of disdain on his face. It was as if Jun Qiyan staying here for one more minute would pollute the air.


    "Huh?"


    Before Jun Qiyan could react, Yan Ruyu had already kicked him down from the carriage.


    "If fate wills it, we will meet again."


    Jun Qiyan looked at the distant carriage in shock. She had been kicked out of the carriage?!


    How repulsive she was, but compared to complaining about Yan Ruyu, Jun Qiyan was more concerned with her current situation.


    Jun Qiyan examined his body for any abnormalities, then heaved a sigh of relief. He was completely unharmed by such a huge wound.


    However, if he had nothing to do, then he would have to settle some debts.


    Jun Qiyan narrowed his eyes coldly. If it wasn''t for that freak, he would''ve died a long time ago.

 C148

    Jun Qianyan had originally planned to go to the Wind Cloud Restaurant to buy information. The hitman who had hired him had nearly killed him; however, she had assumed that nothing had happened.


    Perhaps his strength was not enough and he did not have the means to contend with her. However, he would absolutely not let her off easy!


    Jun Qiyan kept asking for the address of the message tower along the way. Whenever he passed by, it would cause a commotion. At first, Jun Qianyan didn''t think much of it, but the more times he asked, the more suspicious she became.


    Jun Qiyan subconsciously touched his face. Then, his entire being froze. Was that milky-smooth skin hers?


    A bold idea rose in Jun Qiyan''s heart. Could it be that her appearance had been restored?


    In order to confirm, Jun Qiyan hurried to the lakeside. Her charming and charming face was directly reflected in Jun Qiyan''s eyes.


    "?" Jun Qiyan looked stupefied.


    It was only after a long while that he finally accepted the fact that his current appearance was not bad. However, this was good as well. If he kept up with the news of Yin Muju''s face, he was afraid that his enemies would be alerted.


    Thinking of this, Jun Qiyan felt a bit more at ease.


    Perhaps it was because Jun Qianyan''s face was too breathtaking, but just by bringing up the name "message tower", countless people rushed to tell Jun Qianyan everything that they knew.


    Jun Qiyan could not help but silently complain in his heart.


    Jun Qiyan followed the address and searched all the way until he found the information building that was rumored to be able to find anything.


    The message tower wasn''t hidden. On the contrary, it was so that others wouldn''t be able to see what was going on. Dozens of strong men were arranged to guard the door.


    The strong men were all ferocious. Dao Ba could be seen on their faces and arms. Whether it was their expressions or appearance, it fully explained the words "you must be close to someone who you do not want to be near".


    Jun Qiyan gritted his teeth and thought for a while. After counting the items on his body, he finally dared to approach ¡ª ¡ª


    "Why is the lady here?"


    As expected, before Jun Qiyan could get close to the door, she was stopped by two muscular men with sabers.


    Perhaps because Jun Qiyan was too outstandingly beautiful and also a woman, those muscular men did not believe that she was an insiders. Thus, they did not hesitate to stop her.


    "Of course I''m here to ask around, or are you here to drink?"


    Perhaps this was also within his expectations. Jun Qianyan didn''t have much of an expression on her face. She indifferently glanced at the guard and said, "Or do you mean that this also requires an appointment?"


    "That won''t be necessary."


    The guards glanced at each other, then looked at Jun Qianyan''s dressing. She looked like a high-class person, not a common person who had come to cause trouble. They put away their sabers and swords, moved to the side, and made a path for her.


    Entering the message tower, Jun Qiyan looked around at the layout of the building like a restaurant. Just as she was thinking about how there was no one like the bawd, a well-dressed young man came up to her and asked with a smile, "My lady, may I know your name?"


    Jun Qiyan shot a glance at the man, and frowned slightly. He hadn''t thought that he would have to find out about the information gathered here.


    "It''s not convenient for my young master to show his face, so he sent me here to run around."


    As he walked closer to the man, his left hand took out a handful of gold coins from his sleeve. He opened his right palm, and two Hundred Year Old Spirit Grass appeared in his hand.


    A trace of light flashed across the man''s eyes.


    "How is it?"


    Jun Qiyan put away the spiritual herbs and gold coins, smiled and asked, "Where do I trade?"


    "Miss, please come with me."


    Seeing the pile of gold coins and Hundred Year Old Spirit Grass, the man believed that Jun Qianyan was a noble. He respectfully bowed and led the way.


    On the way up to the second floor, Jun Qiyan''s eyes were not idle either. As he looked around, he was surprised to find that the task of "picking up the guests" was very spiritual ¡ª if a woman came, then the one who would lead the way would be a young man; if a man came, then the one who would lead the way would be a seductive woman.


    "We''re here."


    Jun Qiyan was still muttering to himself about this spiritual operation when the man''s warning voice suddenly rang out, "Miss can go in then."


    Jun Qiyan nodded and walked in. The man was very considerate as he closed the door of the private room for her.


    The room was filled with incense, and beside it was an orchid. It looked very elegant.


    Behind a curtain sat a man with a veil over his face.


    "You ¡­"


    Jun Qiyan narrowed her eyes and sized up the man for a moment. However, she was unable to determine what he looked like. She could only ask in a probing manner, "Why are you dressed like this?"


    Jun Qiyan was a bit confused. The news tower was already open to the public, and it was naturally convenient for people to pry into various information. Why couldn''t the interview take place in broad daylight now?


    "Then why didn''t your young master come here personally?"


    The man let out a soft laugh and calmly replied.


    Jun Qiyan froze for a moment.


    She had thought that the people who came to investigate would not show themselves because they were cautious, but she had never thought that the people in the tower would be even more cautious. Even the people in the tower wore masks, so that no one would be able to see their true appearances.


    Based on his calculations, the voice of the person under the mask was not real either.


    "Is this lady here to inquire about the news?"


    Seeing that Jun Qiyan had not spoken for a long time, the man couldn''t help but remind him, "Or should we say that this lady is only here to investigate?"


    "Anyone who is able to come to this information tower is naturally here to find out more information."


    Jun Qiyan came back to her senses and smiled faintly. She sat down in front of the man and told him about the matter of ''Yin Mufen'' being chased by her enemies.


    "I see."


    The man nodded. After pondering for a moment, he asked, "May I ask if it''s convenient for the lady to tell me your son''s name?"


    Jun Qiyan nodded. "Yin Moyu."


    The man''s movements paused for a moment as though he was surprised. However, he quickly recovered and continued to ask, "Then why did you, Young Master Jia, get chased?"


    "No worries, this is just a competition to refine pills."


    Jun Qiyan pursed her lips, lightly tapped the table with her index finger, and said in a low voice, "Perhaps you won two rounds in a row, but the other families didn''t even care about it when they came to win you over. That''s why others are jealous."


    The man looked at Jun Qiyan in silence for a moment. Then, he nodded and said, "Lady, please go downstairs and have a cup of tea. I''ll go investigate after a while."


    As the man finished speaking, he stood up and reached out his hand to Jun Qianyan.


    Jun Qiyan was stunned for a moment. She was about to ask for the reason when she suddenly remembered that she had not paid a single gold coin from the moment she had entered the room.


    Jun Qiyan hurriedly handed over the money bag filled with gold coins. She saw that the man opened it to take a look, and only poured half of it out before returning it to Jun Qianyan.


    "I didn''t know that the information tower charged such a generous fee?"


    Jun Qiyan was somewhat surprised. It was said that all of these things outside the martial arts world were extremely expensive, but now that they were at the same price, she was truly surprised.


    "Miss sure knows how to joke." The man smiled faintly. Even though he was wearing a mask, Jun Qiyan could still hear the ''tolerance'' towards newbies from his tone. "This is only a deposit. After the matter is completed, the remaining fee will be charged."


    "So that''s how it is."


    Jun Qiyan awkwardly smiled, wishing that he could take back what he had just said. At the moment, he only wanted to curse a few times at the black merchants.


    "It''s not hard to find out about this news. The Young Master is quite an expert, and the things he brought are just enough."


    The man added with a smile, surprising Jun Qiyan.


    The reward that she brought over was only for the ''receiving'' man to see, and that man had never spoken to that man before!


    How did this man know that she had so much money in her hands?


    "Miss, this way please."


    The man just now seemed to have waited outside the door for a long time. After the man left, he didn''t wait for Jun Qiyan to ask any further questions. He walked up and reminded her, "Could Miss step downstairs and have some tea?"


    Jun Qiyan paused for a moment, looking around her surroundings. At the same time, she saw a young woman leisurely walking up the stairs with another guest. She glanced around the room, only to realize that there was another person wearing a mask inside.


    It seemed like this news tower had never lacked guests and business was flourishing.


    Jun Qiyan slightly nodded, observing the activity upstairs as she followed the man down the stairs.


    The main hall was filled with people. Jun Qiyan looked around and estimated that most of them were just like herself, waiting for the results. However, when she looked up and saw the endless stream of customers, she couldn''t help but sigh again.


    And no matter how you looked at it, the intensity of the fire and the flow of the customers would probably be mistaken for a brothel.


    Jun Qiyan drank his tea as he observed and eavesdropped on the conversation between the ladies at his table. The information they gathered was nothing more than information on which family had risen up to become a noble.


    "Miss, the result is out."


    Before Jun Qiyan could finish her tea, the man hurriedly walked over, beckoned her over and shouted.


    In the end, there were many guests and the noise was quite loud. Jun Qianyan didn''t actually hear the man''s words, but her eyes happened to glance in that direction and see the man''s mouth, which was how she judged him to be.


    Jun Qianyan didn''t hesitate to put down her teacup. She quickly got up and walked over to the man, bringing with her a small gust of wind that attracted the attention of the other aristocratic ladies at the table.


    "Miss, are you trying to find out who the mastermind was?"


    The man mysteriously led Jun Qiyan to a corner, looked around in fear of being overheard, and repeated uneasily, "Are you sure?"


    "How can we not be sure about the matter regarding my young master?"


    Seeing the man''s nervous and cautious appearance, a bad premonition flashed through Jun Qianyan''s heart. However, she didn''t express it. She pretended to be calm as she asked, "Mister''s expression, is this matter a little tricky?"


    "Young lady, you have good eyesight."


    Since things had already come to this point, there was no longer a need for the man to beat around the bush with Jun Qianyin. He immediately said, "However, the thorny problem is not for me to solve it, but for ¡­ Your Young Master. "


    "What do you mean?"


    Jun Qiyan''s heart skipped a beat, and her brows immediately furrowed. She hurriedly asked, "But that person''s background is extraordinary?"


    The man''s expression remained grave. After pausing for two seconds, he nodded heavily. "Does Miss know which family the number one family in this place belongs to?"


    "I don''t know," Jun Qiyan shook her head. "Please tell me, sir."


    The man was clearly embarrassed. He moved closer to Jun Qiyan, and slowly spat out a few words, causing Jun Qiyan''s eyes to widen. The rage in her heart seethed, and her complexion paled somewhat.


    Su Clan!

 C149

    After leaving the message tower, they walked around the bustling central street and followed the sparse woods to the edge of the forest. Then, an enormous and luxurious mansion appeared in front of Jun Qianyan''s eyes.


    The word "upstart" flashed through Jun Qiyan''s mind as she looked at the luxurious mansion.


    As Jun Qiyan looked at the mansion before her, the coldness on her face grew even stronger.


    Su Xun!


    Jun Qiyan silently uttered Elder Su''s name, the coldness on his face undisguised.


    The most dangerous place to be was the safest place. Even though coming to the Su residence would seem like sending a sheep into a tiger''s den, Jun Qianyan knew that Su Xun was a person who cared about his reputation and would not allow his reputation to be damaged in the slightest.


    That was why Jun Qiyan dared to come here alone.


    Jun Qiyan expressionlessly knocked on the door as he looked at the red-painted red plaque on the door. His face had long since been covered by a human skin mask, and had returned to its original state of being as Yin Muju.


    In order to prepare for an emergency, Jun Qiyan had already prepared several human skin masks of the ''Yin Muji'' face. However, they were not as convenient as the ones he had prepared previously.


    "Creak ~ ~"


    The heavy, big, red wooden door was slowly pushed open. Two sturdy men stood on both sides of it, one on the left and the other on the right. Standing in between the two men was a vicious, middle-aged man.


    "Who are you?"


    The middle-aged man looked Jun Qianyan up and down, and then looked at the red sky before snorting coldly, "It''s late, and it''s inconvenient for the Patriarch to receive guests. If there''s anything you need to do, please come back earlier!"


    What kind of master was he, someone who looked down on others with his dog eyes? Just what kind of servants were there?


    Jun Qiyan cursed inwardly.


    Although Jun Qiyan thought this in his heart, he was clear that he was currently in someone else''s territory. No matter how unhappy he was, he couldn''t show it on his face right now.


    Jun Qiyan shrunk her neck as if she was truly frightened by the butler. She timidly asked, "It''s my fault that I came to disturb you at such a late hour ¡ª but right now, I have an urgent request for your family''s Patriarch. May I ask if you can help inform him?"


    "Since you''ve said it''s a different day, why are you announcing it?"


    The middle-aged man was extremely ungrateful. Seeing Jun Qianyan act so courteously, he thought that the other person was truly afraid of him, and thus, he became even more serious.


    Why aren''t you looking at this time, do you have a favor to ask? Did you come to disturb me at this time?" "I can see that you have ill intentions. You have the intention of disturbing the rest of my family!


    Hearing the middle-aged man''s curses, Jun Qiyan''s eyebrows twitched twice. The corners of her mouth also twitched a few times. Her expression had become stiff and unnatural.


    Good heavens!


    "Since you are unwilling to report on my behalf, then I will do it myself!"


    Jun Qiyan did not intend to be courteous with him. She changed her respectful attitude just now and put her hand on her waist; she started shouting at the top of her lungs:


    "I want to see your Patriarch!" If I can''t see you today, I won''t leave. "Call him master!"


    Using his spiritual power, Jun Qianyan enlarged his voice at the same time, making it sound like a bird with wings flying around the luxurious mansion.


    It was too late for the middle-aged man to stop them with his mouth open. He could only stomp his feet in anger. The two stocky middle-aged men also recovered from their shock and hurriedly walked forward, reaching out their hands to grab Jun Qiyan.


    However, Jun Qiyan was not as easy to deal with as the hooligans on the street. Her movements were very agile, and at this moment, she was like a mud fish, easily dodging the attacks of two men.


    "Who''s making a ruckus here?"


    Both of her hands behind her back and a stern expression on her face, the Patriarch of Su Family quickly rushed to her own door. She glared at Jun Qianyan and berated: "If you have something to say, come in and say it. If you cause a ruckus in my Su Family''s residence, wouldn''t that ruin our Su Family''s reputation!"


    When Jun Qiyan saw that the main character had finally stepped out of the room, a cold look flashed across his face.


    "Patriarch, you''re wrong."


    Jun Qiyan also stood there obediently. While shaking his head, he said with a tut of his tongue:


    Just now, I was imploring the guards, but they said that it was too late right now. No matter how much I wasted my words, they did not let me see the patriarch. This one has urgent matters on me, so I had no choice but to use this method to invite you.


    As Jun Qianyan spoke, his eyes slowly drifted over to the middle-aged man, which further infuriated him so much that his entire body shivered. He pointed at Jun Qianyan and scolded, "This kid is very daring! This old man has already explained that the Patriarch is currently resting, but he just so happened to ¡­ "


    "Shut up!" "What are you making such a ruckus for!"


    With a dark expression, he gave an angry shout. After he stopped the middle-aged man''s words, he turned his gaze towards Jun Feiyan and coldly asked, "What was the urgent matter that you spoke of just now?"


    "Perhaps to you, Patriarch of the Su family, this is not a big matter, but to me, this is a huge matter that concerns my life!"


    Jun Qianyan respectfully bowed towards the Su Family''s Patriarch, feigned helplessness as she lamented, "Patriarch, you might not know this, but I don''t know which master I offended in the past few days, but I''ve fallen to the point of being hunted down! I am seriously injured. I have no other choice but to brace myself and come to your house. I won''t be able to get help. I just want to live a peaceful life! "


    Jun Qiyan deliberately bit hard on the word "chase" as if his words carried some meaning.


    "Oh?"


    Hearing Jun Qiyan''s words, the Su Clan''s patriarch''s eyes suddenly lit up. He hurriedly asked, "May I know your name?"


    The matter of chasing and killing Jun Qiyan was basically all arranged by Su Xun, and the Su Clan''s Patriarch was completely unaware of this.


    Jun Qiyan replied, "My name is Yin Mu."


    "Yin Mujuan?"


    The Su Clan''s Patriarch''s tone was even more shocked, this name. However, he was familiar with the situation. If not for the fact that this kid''s own daughter was already the champion of the Alchemist Competition!


    "Exactly."


    Jun Qiyan kept her head down as she replied. However, her eyes swept across the Su Clan''s patriarch from the corner of her eyes.


    When Jun Qiyan saw that the Su Clan''s Patriarch''s face did not show much of a reaction, his heart beat like a drum.


    It seemed that Su Xun could handle the matter of him being hunted down by others. However, it was true. The less people know, the better.


    Perhaps because of the new environment, Jun Qiyan was unable to adapt to it, or perhaps because she was stuck in a tiger''s den, but she was still worried about sleeping at night. Although it could not be said that she could not sleep at night, she still woke up several times in the middle of the night.


    When dawn finally arrived, Jun Qiyan could no longer stay in bed. She stood up early.


    "Young Master Yin is up!"


    Just as she opened the door, Jun Qiyan saw a young woman who looked like a little girl standing in front of her door. She was smiling brightly, and said in a flirtatious voice, "Luoluo was sent by the Patriarch to serve young master. May I ask young master if you want to wash up?"


    Jun Qiyan, who had never been treated in such a manner, was immediately startled. He frowned as he looked at the green luo. After hesitating for a long while, he finally managed to utter a word, "Yes."


    "Lulu will go and fetch water for Young Master now. Young Master, please wait for a moment in your room."


    "Yes," the loli answered before turning around and slowly walking away with her water snake waist.


    What kind of game was the Su Clan playing now?


    Sending someone to serve him so early in the morning, this shouldn''t be a beauty trap, right?


    Seeing the alluring figure of Loulan, Jun Qianyan could not believe that Loulan Slash was just a servant even if she was beaten to death. She hurriedly slammed the door shut and said, "I still need to change. You''re still waiting outside."


    However, Lulu didn''t care that much. Jun Qiyan''s "change of clothes" seemed to have caught her fancy. She only heard Luan Luan chuckle in a low voice, then charmingly say:


    "Lu Luo was sent by the family head to wait upon young master. Of course, it''s Lu Luo who is here to take care of this matter. How can young master personally do it?"


    The moment the green loli opened the door and was about to enter, Jun Qianyan hurriedly opened it and calmly said, "There''s no need, I''ve already changed."


    Since the Ninth Master''s magic technique had disappeared, Jun Qianyan could be considered to have completely recovered her virginity. If this green loli were to change clothes for him, wouldn''t she be exposed?


    Seeing that Jun Qiyan was still somewhat flustered, Lulu lightly smiled, took the basin of water and walked in, and began to help Jun Qianyan wash her face and rinse her mouth.


    By the time Jun Qianyan had finished washing her face and rinsing her mouth, she had already lost all signs of panic.


    "I''ll do it myself. You''d better go out." The green-haired general, Jun Qiyan, insisted on the decision and did not continue to follow him.


    After Jun Qiyan finished washing his face and rinsing his mouth, he naturally followed Lulu to the dining room.


    The dining hall was empty, but there were many different kinds of breakfast arranged on the table. This caused Jun Qiyan to be stunned for a moment ¡ª could it be that these were all prepared for her?


    "Eh? Why is the breakfast so cold? "


    The green loli was the first to reach out and touch the plate, only to discover that it was cold. She saw that Jun Qiyan had already picked up her chopsticks and was about to take a bite out of it.


    "No need. That''s good enough."


    Jun Qiyan subconsciously held onto Lulu''s hand. He picked up a piece of dessert and placed it in his mouth, chewing and nodding, with a look of enjoyment on his face.


    Lulu was stunned for a moment, but when she saw that her hand was being held by Jun Qiyan, her small face flushed red. She quickly retracted her hand and timidly said, "Then ¡­ Lu Luo is just waiting at the side for Young Master to finish her off. Young Master, please don''t choke on it. "


    The blush on Lulu''s face had disappeared, but it did not escape Jun Qiyan''s eyes.


    If Loulan Slash hadn''t dodged it quickly, she would have seen Jun Qianyan''s hand suddenly stop ¡­


    What kind of play was she singing?


    This girl couldn''t have really fallen for him, right?


    Jun Qianyan was a bit suspicious of life. Just as she recovered from her unease and cast an uneasy glance towards the dining hall''s door, she saw Su Qijian walk in with a solemn expression.


    "Patriarch."


    Jun Qiyan hurriedly put down the bowl and subconsciously stood up.


    "Young Master Yin got up early!"


    The first person Su Qiqiong saw was Jun Qianyan, who was sitting in the middle of the dining hall eating breakfast. The first person he saw was Loulan Slash, who was standing at the side.


    "Green Moonflower ¡­" Lu Luo was sent by the Patriarch to serve Young Master! "


    Loulan''s expression was somewhat panicked, and her voice was also trembling. Her eyes flickered, "Patriarch, have you forgotten?"


    Su Qiong''s expression darkened even more, but when he saw Luoluo''s bashful expression, he didn''t dare to flare up. He could only tightly furrow his brows and stare at her, not even bothering to reply.


    The atmosphere in the dining room instantly changed ¡­


    "That... Does the Patriarch want to eat breakfast? "


    Jun Qianyan was somewhat unable to stand the awkward situation in front of her, and could only tactfully take her leave. "If Mu Kui still needs to cultivate, I won''t disturb the Patriarch anymore ¡­" Oh, Mu Kui did not know that these breakfasts were prepared for the Patriarch and were used for him without permission.


    "It''s nothing. The kitchen has prepared everything for us."


    Su Qiong''s expression was still somewhat unsightly, but seeing that Jun Qianyan was so tactful, he didn''t say anything and merely waved his hand in agreement.


    Jun Qiyan didn''t dare to stay any longer. He left the dining hall as if he was fleeing for his life. Just as he was about to turn a corner and enter the empty garden to cultivate, he suddenly remembered that something was wrong with Lu Luo and quickly tiptoed back.


    Before Jun Qiyan could even stand firm on his feet, he suddenly shouted and hacked down on his head, "Impudent! Who gave you permission to do that? "


    Right now, there were only two people in the dining hall, Su Qiong and Lu Luo. Those words just now were naturally directed at Lu Luo.


    Indeed, there was a problem with the green loli!


    Jun Qiyan sneered in her heart and quickly regained her senses. She held her breath as she attentively began to eavesdrop ¡­


    "But I really do like him! "When he came in last night, I knew I was in love with him with a single glance!"


    Lulu''s voice was still as coquettish as before, but after being scolded by Su Qiong, she brought along a sobbing tone of voice as she replied grievingly, "Father already allowed him to come and stay in the mansion, so why is it that he doesn''t allow my daughter to like him?"


    Daddy?


    Daughter?


    It seems like this green luo is not a servant, but the young miss of the Su Clan!


    This explosive news caused Jun Qiyan to be dumbstruck. No wonder when she first looked at her, she did not seem like an ordinary girl. She did not have the aura of a servant girl!


    Jun Qiyan rubbed his chin as he silently cursed in his heart.


    Even though she also knew that she was elegant, handsome, and loved everyone. She knew that flowers bloomed, and men and women killed each other ¡­


    But!


    Jun Qiyan really did not want to get involved with anyone in the Su Clan anymore.


    That brat just entered the Su Family, and I haven''t found out his background yet. How could I be so hasty to let him join my Su Family! "


    After clarifying the relationship, Jun Qiyan didn''t even need to think to know that Su Qiong''s face was about to turn crooked from anger. As expected, Su Qiong''s voice quickly rang out as he slapped the table and scolded Loulan.


    "Moreover ¡ª no matter what, you are still the young miss of my Su Family, how can you turn your status into a servant and serve that brat? Aren''t you humiliating our Su Family! "


    "If it wasn''t for daddy forbidding, would daughter have used this method?"


    Sure enough, the young miss of a Venerable family wasn''t someone to be trifled with. When she faced the family head, she was not afraid in the slightest. She stomped her foot and shouted back.


    "I don''t care! In short, Father will accept him as a member of the Su Family, or else I will always be his slave! If father dares to kick him out, then I ¡­ I''ll... I''ll leave the Su Family with him! "

 C150

    "Damned girl, how dare you!"


    The angry roar nearly shattered the eardrums of Jun Qianyan, who was eavesdropping outside the door. However, the young miss inside was not afraid, and instead directly rebuked him, "Anyways, Daddy''s most doted on is not me, but elder sister Yun! And Sister Yun doesn''t like me much. I''m afraid that if I leave, Sister Yun will still be happy! "


    Jun Qiyan instantly sucked in a breath of cold air. He suddenly felt that having the temper of a young miss wasn''t a bad thing.


    "Su Wan Yi, calm down!" Su Qiong was furious, he slapped the table and stood up, "Look at your current appearance, do you think you''re worthy of my Su Clan''s Young Miss''s status?"


    "Whether you are worthy or not is up to you!"


    Su Wan Yi sneered. Her coquettish and wronged voice was suddenly as bone-chilling as a winter wind. "Anyways, in your heart, you only have one daughter, Su An Yun. Otherwise, why am I still unable to leave the Su Family? How can it be that no one knows about it till now?! "


    Jun Qiyan''s brows instantly tightened up.


    Indeed, compared to "Su An Yun", "Su Wan Yi" was nothing. If it weren''t for what he had heard today, even Jun Qianyan wouldn''t have known that the Su Family was not just Su An Yun''s daughter!


    It seemed that Su Wanyi already had a deep grudge against Su Qiong and Su An Yun. Otherwise, how could this father and daughter pair have a quarrel now?


    Since Su Wanyi was unhappy with Su Qiong and Su An, and she was interested in herself as well, she might as well ¡­


    Thinking up to this point, Jun Qiyan suddenly came up with a plan. Just as she was about to continue listening, she caught a glimpse of a few figures appearing from the corner of her eye.


    In order not to let anyone know that she was eavesdropping, Jun Qiyan bent her body and slipped away in the direction of the garden.


    It was almost as Jun Qiyan had expected. As soon as she stabilized her footing in the garden, she saw Su Wanyi hurrying towards her. Her eyes were still red, and her pout was almost as high as her nose.


    Jun Qiyan was stunned for a moment. She pretended to be surprised and stopped Su Wanyi. With a caring expression, she asked, "Have you been reprimanded by the Patriarch?"


    After all, her heart was preoccupied with other things. Su Wan Yi didn''t even notice that she had strayed far away until she was stopped by Jun Qianyan. She then realized that she had almost walked past her and became even more wronged, so she stood in front of Jun Qiyan and said angrily, "Isn''t that so? The Patriarch just despised me and is venting his anger by taking me as his servant!"


    "What about being a servant girl?"


    Jun Qiyan raised an eyebrow and pretended that he didn''t understand. "Be my servant girl ¡­" "What''s wrong?"


    "He''s the one who thinks ¡­"


    Su Wanyi was about to explain further, but when she saw Jun Qianyan''s appearance, she immediately came to her senses. She pouted and corrected her, "Patriarch felt that I couldn''t serve Young Master well, so I was just about to change out of the Green Lotus!"


    After hearing almost the entire process, Jun Qianyan obviously wouldn''t easily believe what "Lu Luo" said. He could only pretend that he didn''t care and smiled, before comforting Su Wanyi, "In the end, the Patriarch is very meticulous and thinks that men and women shouldn''t be too intimate with each other. That''s why he wanted to change you and change you to a man to serve me, right?"


    "Nope!"


    Su Wan Yi opened her eyes wide, but when she saw Jun Qianyan''s smiling face, she was stunned for a moment, then her eyes flashed with a trace of astonishment. Her voice also slowed down a bit as it trembled a little, "Young noble, what''s with your expression? Could it be that Young Master ¡­ "But you don''t like Loulou?"


    "Huh?"


    Jun Qiyan was stupefied. Were the plots in the hearts of these noble young mistresses this plausible?


    "No ¡­" I don''t mean to dislike you. "


    Jun Qianyan was so frightened that he retreated a few steps and quickly waved his hand, "I was just thinking ¡­ It''s best not to disobey the Patriarch''s orders. After all, we are just ¡ª "


    "Young master, just tell me, do you hate the green carrot?"


    Su Wan Yi was a bold person. She interrupted Jun Feiyan before she could finish her sentence, "Actually, I''m not some servant girl. I''m the second young miss of the Su Family. If you like me, I''ll go and discuss it with my father. I''m willing to serve you forever!"


    "Absolutely not!"


    Jun Qiyan had seen direct people before, but had never seen one as direct as this. He was so frightened that he hurriedly shook his head and refused.


    If he hadn''t heard the conversation between Su Wanyi and Su Qijian, perhaps Jun Qiyan would have believed Su Wanyi''s words about ''discussing it with father''. But now that he heard it, it was different.


    "Young master, are you saying that you dislike me?"


    Su Wan Yi frowned as her expression darkened. She stared straight at Jun Feiyan as she asked.


    "How dare you!" "I just feel that with Second Young Miss''s status, how could she be like me ¡­"


    Before Jun Qianyan could finish his words, Su Wan Yi interrupted him once again. However, this time, she didn''t say anything. Instead, she gave him a kiss.


    "I like it enough."


    Su Wan Yi stood on her tiptoes and kissed Jun Qiyan''s cheek. She smiled happily and replied sweetly.


    Jun Qiyan was completely stupefied.


    This Su Wanyi... Are you serious?


    His hand gently caressed the spot where Su Wanyi had kissed her, causing Jun Qiyan to be unable to recover for a long time.


    Being chosen by Su Wan Yi, the second lady of the Su Family, was it luck, or not?


    She wondered how Su Wanyi would react if she knew that she was behind her daughter ¡­


    He would probably want to shut his mouth.


    Jun Qiyan glanced at Su Wanyi, who was running away in embarrassment. The corner of her mouth pulled into a helpless smile.


    "Cough, cough!"


    A heavy cough rang through the air. Jun Qiyan quickly retracted her gaze. As she turned her head to look, it was indeed Su Qiong who had followed along.


    "Patriarch."


    Jun Qiyan gritted his teeth as he bowed with cupped fists and respectfully called out.


    "Since you came to stay at the Su Clan, you are now a member of the Su Clan."


    Su Qiong gazed at Jun Qianyin for a while, but didn''t mention anything about Su Wanyi. He only spoke faintly, "There are some things that you should know. You should also do your best to contribute to the Su Clan."


    "Mu Du understands."


    Jun Qianyan carefully mulled over Su Qiong''s words, as if she had a bad premonition. However, in order to prevent Su Qiong from becoming suspicious, she could only quickly agree, "The Patriarch can be said to be the savior of Mu Kun. Right now, he''s going through fire and water for the Su Family.


    From the argument between Su Qiong and Su Wanyi, it wasn''t hard to tell that Su Qiong was still wary of him. Su Qiong had probably set up this mission just to prove his loyalty ¨C


    Yes, he would stay in the Su Clan and be observed.


    If he lost, then he had a reason to kick himself out of the Su Clan, and that would help him break Su Wan Yi''s feelings.


    "Very good!"


    Seeing that Jun Qianyan had agreed without hesitation, Su Qiong also revealed a smile. He patted Jun Qianyan''s shoulder and smiled, "Then I''ll have to trouble you to go to the Hongfu Pavilion. Now that we have information that is of utmost importance to our Su Family, I need you to bring it back so that our Su Family can overcome this crisis!"

 C151

    When the door to the Su Clan was closed, Jun Qiyan came out leading her horse with her head lowered intentionally. She had a listless look on her face, and after walking for a while, she even squeezed out two drops of tears, as if she had been driven out by the Su Clan.


    According to what Su Qiong said, outside of the Su Clan, there would be spies from other clans everywhere. Thus, the act they were putting on now was just to dispel their wariness.


    When they reached the city gate where the market was located, Jun Qiyan suddenly turned her horse and looked at the most densely packed place in the crowd. She looked at the tallest teahouse in the distance and smiled.


    Since he was going to the Hongfu Restaurant to inquire about the He Clan, then he might as well stay in the tea house of the He Clan''s manager ¡ª Hongfu Restaurant.


    As Jun Qiyan led her horse towards the lavishly decorated teahouse, she looked at the signboard on the second floor of the teahouse. She read the name again in a low voice, and then remembered that the teahouse was in a chain ¨C she remembered seeing this signboard and seeing this name in the vicinity of the aristocratic auction.


    He was still three steps away from entering Hongfu Restaurant when the waiter, who was standing by the door to greet the guests, yelled out, "Sir, may I know if you are staying or working in the restaurant?"


    The waiter greeted them with a wide smile as he sized Jun Qiyan up from head to toe with his eyes.


    "Residence."


    As Jun Qiyan entered the Hongfu building, his half-closed eyes roamed the surroundings. He raised his chin slightly and said to the waiter, "I want to stay here for a while."


    "Alright!"


    He hurriedly introduced her to the prices of the various rooms, as well as the cost of lodging, preferential schemes, as well as food and other services. When Jun Qianyan heard this, he unhappily frowned. No wonder Su Qiong said that the He family was rich.


    "Alright, alright. I just need a medium room."


    Jun Qiyan impatiently interrupted the waiter''s words. She touched the silver in her bag and straightforwardly handed it over to him. "Pay up the money within ten days in one go. Do you think this will work?"


    "Yes, of course!"


    The waiter was smiling so hard that his eyes were almost popping out of their sockets. He hurriedly and enthusiastically led Jun Qiyan to the front of the shopkeeper. He saw that she had fished out a handful of white silver taels and threw them onto the counter.


    When Jun Qiyan passed by a private room on the second floor, she caught a glimpse of a man dressed in brocade sitting inside the private room. He was holding a young woman in each arm, drinking wine.


    Jun Qiyan''s eyes darkened. She looked carefully at the man''s appearance, then thought back to the portrait Su Qiong had asked her to look at repeatedly before she left. A flash of understanding appeared in her heart.


    If he wasn''t mistaken, that man should be the eldest young master of the He family.


    The first thing Jun Qianyan did after arriving at the guest room was to walk to the window and outside the door. She looked down at her surroundings as she walked out the door. She recognized the ''distinguished guests'' in the VIP box on the second floor and returned to her room.


    Although he hadn''t thought of how to make a move yet, Jun Qiyan was certain that the He family''s eldest young master was a person of good looks and looks. The most important thing at the moment was how to get familiar with him and get close to his body.


    Jun Qiyan sat down in front of the dressing table and looked at herself in the bronze mirror. She then turned around and opened the bag she carried with her. She took out the medicinal pills she had prepared and threw them into the mortar to grind them into powder.


    Although this medicine could make one drowsy, it was not on the verge of falling asleep. At this time, it was also the easiest time to converse with others. Currently, the most vexing matter was how to approach his body.


    Looking at the handsome man in front of her, Jun Qianyan sat in a chair. She rested her chin on her hands as she carefully examined herself again. With a frown, she began to meditate.


    If he changed back into a woman, he might even be able to disguise himself as a teahouse girl and coax the He family''s eldest young master to drink a few cups of wine to coax him.


    However, as a man, he couldn''t bribe the ladies in the teahouse to use the medicine.


    Jun Qiyan held her forehead as she sighed heavily. After thinking about it for a while, she still couldn''t come up with a useful method.


    "Young Master, Young Master!"


    There was a slight knock on the door, and a gentle female voice sounded from within, "Young master, it''s me ¡­" "I am Wan Yi!"


    "Su Wanyi?"


    Jun Qiyan froze in shock, unable to react for a moment. It took her a few seconds to think of opening the door.


    The moment the door was opened, Su Wan Yi''s delicate face was revealed. However, a veil was added on top of her face, obscuring the view of her charming big eyes.


    "What''s wrong, young master?"


    Seeing that Jun Qiyan was staring at her, Su Wan Yi blushed. She blinked her big watery eyes and asked, "Why is Young Master staring at Wan Yi all the time? Seeing Wan Yi in such a state ¡­ "It''s not good ¡­"


    "Why are you here?"


    Su Wan Yi''s words jolted Jun Qiyan awake. She looked around and confirmed that there was no one around, then quickly pulled Su Wan Yi into the room. She lowered her voice and asked anxiously, "Furthermore, why don''t you take a look around? This is not the Su Family. There are spies from other families everywhere, how could you run out here alone? "


    For the general task of the selection, the success or failure would determine the whereabouts of Jun Qianyan, so she couldn''t be careless. However, she didn''t expect that Su Wanyi would secretly follow her out!


    "I was worried about you!"


    However, when she saw the anxiety in Jun Qiyan''s eyes, she felt that it was because she was worried about herself. She could not help but break out in a smile, and happily asked, "However, Young Master is so concerned about me, I''m also very satisfied!"


    "Forget it. You can follow me out, but you have to promise me. You have to obediently listen to me. Stay here, and don''t go anywhere else ¡­"


    The moment Su Wan Yi''s words came out, Jun Qianyin felt her body turning numb. She was still worrying when she suddenly thought of something and turned her head to stare at Su Wan Yi.


    That''s right, Su Wanyi''s skin was not bad either.


    Besides, Su Wanyi would say that the Su Clan hid her well. Unlike Su An Yun, there were very few people who knew of Su Clan''s Second Miss.


    If that was the case, then wouldn''t Su Wan Yi be able to attend the matter of the young master of the He family approaching her tonight?

 C152

    "Young master, have you not seen enough?"


    Seeing Jun Qiyan staring back at her, Su Wan Yi''s face reddened. She couldn''t help but give Jun Qianyan a gentle push and said, "Wan Yi will listen to you, Young Master. Stay here and don''t go anywhere. Young Master, please don''t send Wan Yi back home, okay?"


    "No ¡­" You can''t stay in my room. "


    Upon being pushed by Su Wanyi, Jun Qianyin finally reacted. She shook her head, rejecting everything she had just said, "You''re here. I''m busy with something, so I don''t know how to handle it."


    Hearing that Jun Qiyan needed her, Su Wan Yi''s eyes suddenly lit up. She quickly moved closer to Jun Qianyin and asked, "Young master, please tell me what you need me for. I promise I won''t refuse!"


    It had to be known that in the Su family, Su Wanyi was a person who had been frozen in cold storage. No matter what, it was not her turn to intervene. It was all taken care of by Su Anyun.


    Now that she was finally able to put herself to use, especially since it was being used by the person she liked, Su Wan Yi felt her heart was beating so fast that it was almost popping up. Her shining eyes were staring at Jun Qiyan, waiting for her to speak.


    "It''s not anything dangerous ¡­" I need to borrow your face. "


    Jun Qiyan looked at Su Wanyi for a moment. After confirming that her face could be more refined, she nodded and said seriously, "But don''t worry. Although I''m letting you show your face, I''ll protect you in the dark. I won''t let anything happen to you!"


    Hearing Jun Qiyan''s promise, Su Wanyi shook her head and comforted her, "For the sake of Young Master, I will not complain!"


    Seeing that the sky was about to darken, she quickly pulled Su Wan Yi to the bronze mirror and sat down. After carefully examining Su Wan Yi''s appearance in the bronze mirror, she took off her veil.


    "Listen, right now, there is a secret related to the safety of the Su Clan, and it''s in the mouth of that young master of the He Clan, so I need you to pretend to be a girl from a teahouse and go pour him some wine. Let him drink my specially made medicine and obediently tell me all the plans ¡­"


    As Jun Qiyan spoke, she untied Su Wanyi''s hair ribbon. She took out a hairpin from her bag and tied up her hair in a standard bun. Then, she clipped all of her hair into a bun.


    Su Wanyi''s beautiful oval face suddenly appeared. Her delicate and pretty features were no longer adorned with hair, but rather, she looked more and more beautiful and dignified.


    "I don''t care about the safety of the Su family. As long as it''s Brother Mu Du''s matter, Wan Yi will do her best to help!"


    Su Wan Yi happily stroked Jun Qiyan''s hair. Suddenly, she thought of the matter of her marriage. Her face turned even redder as she gave her promise to Jun Qianyan without any hesitation.


    Jun Qiyan laughed involuntarily, a wave of guilt suddenly rose in his heart.


    It had to be said that Su Wan Yi was a love-struck little girl. It was a pity that she was raised in the Su family and hadn''t been taught well.


    "I understand your feelings, but forgive me ¡­" I can''t give you a response. "


    After thinking for a long time, Jun Qiyan could not bear to see Su Wan Yi disappointed in the future. She could only break her feelings with Su Wan Yi, so she moved Su Qiong out of the room and politely declined, "You also know that I am only a little pawn who was being hunted and escaped to your house. But you are the second lady of the Su Family, we ¡­" There will be no results. "


    "I don''t care!"


    Su Wanyi was not one to accept this. Her face sank as she pouted, "If daddy doesn''t agree, then I won''t be the Su Family''s second young miss anymore! I don''t care, I only care if Big Brother Mu Kuang has me in his heart! "


    She coughed twice and hurriedly ended the conversation, "Alright, let''s not talk about this now. Hurry up and change your clothes, I''ll dress you up then. Then, let''s move out."


    Su Wan Yi nodded obediently. She didn''t look like she was acting coquettishly just now. She took the clothes Jun Qiyan had passed to her and walked to the screen. She changed out of her dark green gauze dress and put on a long one that was blue in color.


    When Su Wan Yi came out, Jun Qiyan looked up and was momentarily stunned.


    Buddha relied on gold clothing, while man relied on clothes. These words were absolutely true.


    After dressing up, in terms of temperament and attitude, which part of her lost to Su An Yun?


    "..." "He does look like he is, but his temperament is still a bit lacking."


    Jun Qianyan narrowed her eyes as she examined him for a moment. She then nodded her head and said, "Put that bashful face of yours away and let him go. Otherwise, how could that He family''s eldest young master be so happy for you? Let him drink obediently and spit out the truth."


    "What a simple matter!"


    Contrary to Jun Qiyan''s concerns, Su Wanyi was actually happy. She didn''t seem the least bit nervous or worried. She only said, "Wanyi will only be shy in front of Brother Mu Kuang-ge. I don''t care about anyone else!"


    Jun Qiyan raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure?"


    "Brother Mu Kui doesn''t believe Wan Yi?"


    Seeing that Jun Qiyan didn''t believe her, Su Wan Yi was so angry that her eyes widened. She no longer had any thoughts of playing with her dress anymore. She angrily opened the door and walked out without saying a word.


    She wanted to pull Su Wan Yi back, but Su Wan Yi seemed to have become a completely different person. She did not look shy at all, just like a girl from a brothel.


    The corners of Jun Qiyan''s mouth twitched a few times ¨C so this Su Wanyi was a good playwright too!


    "About that ¡­ Wan ¡­" "Son!"


    Seeing Su Wan Yi and the other guests getting more and more excited, Jun Qiyan could only sigh in anger. Feeling helpless, she could only remind them, "That''s about it."


    Su Wan Yi glanced back at Jun Qianyan and smiled coquettishly. After conversing with some of the guests for some time, she leisurely walked back to Jun Qianyan, giggling.


    "How is it?"


    Su Wanyi stopped in front of Jun Qianyan and placed her hand on her waist. She proudly raised her chin and asked with a proud look, "Now do you believe me?"


    "Of course I do."


    He didn''t know whether to praise Su Wanyi or to scold her. As he was thinking, Su Wanyi''s body softened and she leaned against Jun Qianyan''s shoulder. She blinked her eyes and softly asked, "I really like Brother Mu Kuang''s name, ''Wan Er''... Brother Mu Kui, can you call me that from now on? "

 C153

    "Not good."


    Jun Qiyan rejected him without thinking. After pushing Su Wanyi away, she said in a serious tone, "You are still an unmarried woman, how can you be so frivolous? "It''s better to be respectful."


    The corner of Su Wan Yi''s mouth drooped down once again. "If I didn''t take the initiative, would Brother Mu Kui have noticed me?"


    Jun Qiyan facepalmed.


    Su Wanyi''s initiative was indeed a way to gain a sense of existence.


    However, the problem was that both Su Wanyi and Jun Qiyan were girls, and there would be no results!


    If he didn''t reject Su Wanyi earlier, Su Wanyi was afraid that she would fall deeper and deeper into her predicament. At the last moment, whatever Jun Qianyan said or did would be useless.


    "Wan Yi, I understand what you''re thinking, but I really ¡­ There''s no way to respond to you. "


    Jun Qiyan stood in the corridor outside the door. As she faced Su Wanyi, she talked to her patiently while keeping a close eye on the VIP box on the second floor. When she saw that the door was about to open, she quickly lowered her voice and said, "Now is not the time to talk about this ¡­" Do you remember what I just said to you? "


    As Jun Qiyan spoke, she took out a paper wrapped powder from her sleeve and handed it over to Su Wan Yi.


    "Of course, Wan Yi remembers Brother Mu Kui''s words!"


    Su Wan Yi raised her chin towards Jun Qiyan, replying proudly. After receiving the packet of powder, she quickly lifted her long skirt and walked down to the second floor.


    The reason why Jun Qiyan chose the aqua blue dress was because she preferred the cold type and didn''t like the warm type. The second reason was that she had observed that most of the guests in Hongfu Restaurant were either rich or wealthy, and those people loved to show off. Furthermore, in order to catch the eyes of the officials, the ladies in the teahouse were all dressed in red, which was very vulgar.


    As for Su Wanyi, her blue body stood out from the crowd due to their vulgar looks. She was especially eye-catching, giving off the impression of a crane in a flock of chickens.


    It was just as Jun Qianyan had expected. The moment Su Wanyi got to the second floor, her clean and conspicuous appearance attracted the attention of the He Family''s Eldest Young Master who had just came out of her private box.


    "Yo, lady!"


    As soon as the He family''s young master saw the blue beauty appear in front of him, he chased after her. As he approached Su Wanyi, he asked with a smile, "Why do you look a little familiar to me? Have we met before? "


    Su Wan Yi was slightly startled. She thought she had been recognized. Even Jun Qiyan, who had been using a spell to eavesdrop on their conversation, was startled. However, when she thought about it, wasn''t this the common phrase used today?


    It seemed like this beauty''s trap was quite smooth!


    Su Wan Yi raised her head. When she saw the young master of the He family''s eyes that were filled with hearts, she too, heaved a sigh of relief.


    "This is the first time I''ve met Young Master, where did this familiarity come from?"


    When she raised her head again, her slightly squinting eyes secretly sent a message to him. She then went over to him and said with a charming voice, "Perhaps it''s because young master has seen too many sisters from my Hongfu Pavilion. Everyone is the same!"


    Su Wan Yi''s words almost made Jun Qiyan choke on herself ¡ª this girl, not only did she get into the act quickly, she even acted quite well!


    "How can you be like them when you are so special?"


    Noticing that Su Wan Yi was about to get angry, the eldest young master of the He family tried to explain with a smile. As he spoke, he reached out his hand to hug Su Wan Yi.


    How could Su Wanyi not see his movements? She quickly sidestepped and glared at him with disgust.


    However, the He family''s eldest young master, who had seen this kind of scene many times, did not feel awkward at all. He just assumed that Su Wanyi was shy and grabbed her hand, opening the private box''s door and pushing her in directly. He then loudly said, "Come, let me introduce you ¡ª I''m He Yuxuan, and that person over there is my sworn brother, Zhu Cheng."


    Jun Qiyan took a deep breath.


    He Yuxuan, Zhu Cheng ¡­


    Very good, the two important people who had grasped the secret had appeared!


    Su Wanyi seemed to understand the situation as well. She subconsciously turned around and looked in the direction of Jun Qianyan, who was secretly observing them from the third floor.


    Jun Qiyan frowned and quickly retreated back into the room. He lightly shook his head and closed the door.


    A trace of disappointment flashed across Su Wanyi''s eyes, but it was quickly recovered. She then revealed a smile to the two young masters in the private box, causing them to be overjoyed.


    "Brother He is good! "Just as I was taking a breather outside, I found another beauty so quickly. I am truly impressed!"


    Su Wanyi had been worried that she might have made a mistake, but now that she looked back, the two of them didn''t see anything wrong with it. Zhu Cheng had even assumed that she was a teahouse girl that He Yuxuan had brought back to drink with him.


    Furthermore, Zhu Yuxuan was also a lover of wine and sex. With the two of them drinking together and flirting with women, their memory couldn''t be any better, and the key point was that even their brains weren''t that good.


    Su Wan Yi completely let go of her vigilance and uneasiness. She let out a huge sigh of relief, and under He Yuxuan''s instructions, she sat down in the middle of Xu Yuxuan and Zhu Xuan.


    He Yuxuan''s actions immediately made Zhu Cheng feel happy, and he very impolitely poured a full cup of wine for Su Wanyi.


    "Why are you in such a hurry, sir?"


    Su Wan Yi squinted. She didn''t want to be the first one to fall before she drank the wine. She pushed her wine cup to He Yuxuan and smiled, "Just now, this grandpa almost admitted his wrongs. Logically speaking, shouldn''t I be punished by a cup of wine first?"


    "Both sides need to drink. Alright, I''ll first punish myself to drink a cup!"


    In the end, He Yuxuan didn''t think too much about the beauty of the wine. He laughed out loud as he agreed, then picked up his wine cup and drank it up in one gulp.


    "Right, we don''t know your name yet!"


    While Su Wan Yi''s attention was still focused on He Yuxuan, Zhu Cheng stretched out his hand and quickly touched Su Wanyi''s face.


    Su Wanyi was stunned for a moment. She turned around angrily and glared at Zhu Cheng.


    However, just like He Yuxuan, Zhu Cheng didn''t notice Su Wan Yi''s disgust at all. Instead, he smiled as he brought his face closer to He Wan Yi''s. Without needing to say anything, a strong aroma of alcohol assaulted his nose, causing his to feel disgusted, but he couldn''t show it too clearly.


    "Luluo?"


    Zhu Cheng muttered in a low voice. His tone was stiff, causing Su Wan Yi''s temple to twitch twice. He quickly asked, "Is there a problem with my name?"


    After all, ''Wan''er'' only belonged to ''Brother Mu Kui''. Su Wanyi really didn''t want the two of them to call her that way, she only felt that her name had been forcefully tainted. She only wanted to use the name of her servant to fool them, but she didn''t think that it would arouse their suspicions.


    Could it be that the name "Lu Luo" had made them realize something?

 C154

    "I just feel that... Such a vulgar name is not worthy of a beauty. "


    Zhu Cheng frowned in thought for a moment. When he saw Su Wan Yi''s attention on him, he moved closer to her and pinched her cheek.


    He didn''t have the rouge and powder that he expected, instead, he didn''t have any makeup. His face was soft and tender, and his hands felt very good.


    This time, Zhu Cheng laughed even more brilliantly, and said: "This face is really not bad! He could be so beautiful without wearing makeup, tsk tsk tsk... You are almost able to catch up to the Su Clan''s direct daughter, Su An Yun? "


    Su Wan Yi''s heart skipped a beat when she heard the word "Su Family." Even Jun Qiyan, who had been hiding in her room and eavesdropping, broke out in a cold sweat. But when she heard the word "Su An Yun", she heaved a sigh of relief.


    Sure enough, when it came to the beautiful women of the Su family, they would definitely mention Su An Yun. However, no one knew about Su Wan Yi.


    Thinking of this, Su Wanyi couldn''t help but secretly clench her fists.


    "Young master is too serious. I have average looks, how can I compare to the talent of that young miss of the Su Clan?"


    Su Wanyi secretly stared at Zhu Cheng, who had just finished wiping his oil. He silently moved away and put on a modest look, but secretly replied sarcastically, "Miss Su An Yun is famous for his beauty. How can I compare to his?"


    Zhu Cheng and He Yuxuan nodded in unison. They thought that the conversation would end just like that, but who would have thought that He Yuxuan would suddenly blurt out a sentence, "So what if she''s beautiful? Wasn''t he brainless with a big chest!? Tch, she really thinks we are idiots. It can''t be that Elder Su walked through the back door for her and obtained her title, otherwise, how could she be defeated by a nameless little kid who came out of nowhere?! "


    "Isn''t it so? I feel ashamed for her!"


    The corners of Jun Qiyan''s mouth twitched.


    Initially, he had thought that gossiping was a matter exclusive to girls. He had never expected that when boys gathered together, they would speak ill of others as well.


    "No matter what, she is still the young miss of the Su Clan. Aren''t you afraid that the wall will have ears when you talk about her like this?"


    Su Wan Yi narrowed her eyes. Although they were talking about their own sister, Su Wan Yi was not the least bit displeased. On the contrary, she was rather pleased, and the smile on her face widened as she boldly asked, "Moreover, who doesn''t know that this is the Su Family''s territory? Aren''t you afraid that the Su Family will listen to you and find you for revenge in the future?"


    "It''s only the Su Clan, what''s there to be afraid of!"


    Zhu Cheng raised his head and laughed, his face filled with indifference: "I don''t mind telling you the truth, while that Su Family might seem powerful right now, in reality, their foundation is being slowly hollowed out! "You don''t know, the Su Clan''s lifeline has already ¡­"


    "Cough, cough!"


    Before Zhu Cheng could finish speaking, He Yuxuan coughed softly, secretly giving a glance at his, interrupting his words. He quickly grabbed the wine pot and poured a full cup for Su Wan Yi and Zhu Cheng, then changed the topic with a smile, "Why do you want to talk about things that have nothing to do with us? Seeing that there are beauties and wines here, I think it''s better to enjoy it! "


    He Yuxuan''s'' suggestion ''instantly pulled Zhu Cheng back from her thoughts. Inwardly, he regretted his carelessness just now and nearly blurted out her thoughts. Thus, he hurriedly echoed him, "Right, right, right. We should still come and drink. Why are you thinking about those things!"


    Seeing that Zhu Cheng and He Yuxuan didn''t want to talk anymore, Su Wanyi knew that they had yet to drink. She smiled lightly, picked up a glass of wine and said, "Then ¡­" This servant will offer you two a toast to bring down the Su Clan as soon as possible for the Zhu Clan and the He Clan! "


    Su Wan Yi suddenly raised her head and drank the wine in front of the two of them, wiping her mouth as if she was savoring the taste of the wine in her mouth. She sighed and said with hidden bitterness, "You two might not know this, but I am also a noble lady, but I was suppressed by the Su family and can''t even maintain my livelihood. That''s why I ended up in this Hongfu Building ¡­"


    As Jun Qiyan listened, her mouth opened widely ¨C wasn''t this Su Wanyi too good at acting?


    However, listening carefully, although she was also a young lady of the Su Clan, she was not as outstanding as Su An. With the Su Clan''s important training, she was no different from an ordinary person.


    For some reason, Jun Qiyan had always felt that Su Wanyi''s current appearance was very similar to Miss Shu who had failed in her house fight.


    From the looks of it, even Su Wan Yi hated Su An Yun to the core.


    "There''s actually such a thing!"


    Zhu Cheng and He Yuxuan were even more surprised, but most of them looked interested. They quickly asked, "Then, which one is this lady''s family?"


    "It''s just a declining family, so there''s no need to mention it."


    Su Wan Yi lowered her eyes and pretended to be at a loss. She then laughed at herself, snatched the wine pot from He Yuxuan''s hands, raised it high and poured the wine into her mouth.


    "Sigh ¡­"


    He Yuxuan wanted to stop her from drinking the wine she was holding, but seeing Su Wanyi drink it all in one gulp, he was scared stiff. His hand froze in mid-air, not daring to move it any further.


    As Su Wan Yi was still in a daze, Zhu Cheng reached out and wrapped his around her waist, bringing her to his side. His hands were restless as he walked along her slender waist, proudly saying, "Lady, do not be sad, the Zhu Family and He Family are not easy to deal with. Now that we have teamed up, isn''t it just a matter of time before we pull the Su Family down?"


    Su Wan Yi''s eyes flashed. She pretended to be surprised but at the same time asked with interest, "Oh? I wonder what ingenious plan the two of you have come up with? "


    As Zhu Cheng and He Yuxuan''s faces gradually turned red, Su Wan Yi knew that they were not far from being drunk. She quickly took advantage of the two''s attention to focus on her, and without paying attention to anything else, she quickly poured the powder Jun Yunrue had given her into another wine pot. With a charming smile, she served the two of them, saying, "If there''s anything I can help you with, both of you, please feel free to say it ¡ª it has been my wish all along, after all."


    Hearing Su Wanyi''s praise, Zhu Cheng''s mood improved even more. In addition to her diligently pouring wine for him, Zhu Cheng was in no mood to refuse. In one breath, he drank three cups of wine.


    "Young Master Zhu is indeed straightforward!"


    Seeing Zhu Cheng was already belching, Su Wan Yi chuckled and praised him as she glanced at He Yuxuan.


    This time, He Yuxuan could no longer tolerate it.


    Before Su Wan Yi could pour the wine for him, He Yuxuan had already snatched the wine pot away from him. He didn''t even need a cup anymore, he just picked up the pot and poured the wine into his mouth ¡­


    "Miss, don''t worry. I''ve already bribed the owner of the bank that has most of the Su Clan''s assets under his care."


    After drinking three cups of wine, her face was red and she could no longer distinguish between reality. As she burped, she said proudly, "Without money, why would the Su Family dare to act so arrogantly? Besides... Wasn''t the Su Clan relying on the fact that they had a mine? I want to see what they can do without this mine! "


    "That''s right!"


    Just as Zhu Cheng finished his sentence, He Yuxuan chortled and chimed in, "And aren''t they proud to have a genius alchemist like Su Anyun around? "Look at that woman! If that woman had really been tricked, I really want to see how the Su Family will react!"

 C155

    After He Yuxuan finished his speech, Zhu Cheng also burst into laughter. Su Wanyi, who was also excited by the news, couldn''t help but clap and cheer along as well.


    Only Jun Qiyan frowned.


    However, Su Qiong had only revealed that something had happened to the bank to her. Currently, the funds of the Su Clan were a little off, but they had never mentioned the existence of a ''mine'' in the Su Clan.


    It looked like he hadn''t obtained the slightest bit of Su Qiong''s trust ¡­


    When she thought of this, Jun Qiyan narrowed her eyes, feeling somewhat nervous.


    Hearing He Yuxuan''s words, it was not hard to guess that although these two young masters were lustful and lustful, they were also vicious. In order to deal with the Su Clan, they did not even let that woman, Su An Yun, off.


    If what they said was true, then the news would have to be spread to the Su family. Firstly, it would reduce the Su family''s losses and make Su Qiong trust him; secondly, it would save Su An Yun''s life. After all, compared to Su An Yun, the headstrong and stubborn young mistress of a noble family, Jun Qiyan hated these despicable men who didn''t even want to let women go.


    However, if she sneaked back to the Su Clan to report, then Su Wanyi might encounter some sort of danger. This was something that could not be determined.


    If Su Wanyi had followed him, it would have been very suspicious for the both of them.


    In desperation, Jun Qiyan tried to use her skills to convey her words to Su Wanyi.


    Hearing Jun Qiyan''s words, Su Wan Yi''s expression became stiff for a moment, but she quickly recovered. She smiled and continued to drink with them, until both of them were drunk.


    However, He Yuxuan and Zhu Cheng were people that drank wine every day, and their alcohol capacity was ridiculously good. Even after drinking a few more jugs, they were still talking excitedly, and had no intention of sleeping.


    However, Su Wanyi was different.


    After drinking with them for a few more cups, Su Wan Yi began to feel a little dizzy. Her heart was not at ease, and just as she was about to find an excuse to leave, Zhu Cheng''s words made her sit still. She obediently listened to him. "We''ve already set up a trap at Mysterious Spirit Mountain. Tomorrow morning, our people will go there and pretend to fight for the Su Family''s spirit stone minerals. And this ¡­ is nothing more than luring a snake out of its cave!"


    "That''s right!" He Yuxuan narrowed his eyes and laughed as he continued, "Once they come, they will fall into the trap set by the joint forces of our He and Zhu Families. This time, they will definitely suffer heavy losses and never return!"


    "What a brilliant plan!"


    Seeing the two of them laughing, a hint of surprise flashed across Su Wan Yi''s eyes. But then, she also laughed and added, "As expected of the He family''s eldest young master, he can even think of such a brilliant plan! This time, I will definitely get my revenge! "


    As He Yuxuan laughed, he drank quite a bit of wine with Zhu Cheng. Finally, Zhu Cheng fell asleep on the table, and He Yuxuan was about to fall asleep.


    Taking advantage of this opportunity, Su Wanyi hurriedly took away Zhu Cheng''s hand that was still on her waist. Just as she was about to run away, she was caught by He Yuxuan.


    "I''m talking about you ¡­" Why are you in such a hurry to leave? "Come, let''s continue to drink!"


    As He Yuxuan spoke, he pushed the glass of wine into Su Wanyi''s mouth.


    Su Wan Yi frowned and stared at him with disgust. She turned her face away and refused to drink.


    This time, it also angered He Yuxuan. He widened his eyes, threw his wine cup on the ground, and shouted angrily: "I''ll reward you with wine, but you refuse to drink! Are you not giving me face? "


    The sound of the cup smashing on the floor shocked Su Wanyi. With He Yuxuan''s angry roar, the supervisor who was patrolling on the second floor was alerted.


    How could the supervisor not know that it was the voice of his young master? He hurriedly slammed the door open and rushed in with a big smile on his face. "Young master, this little girl doesn''t know anything and has angered you?"


    Seeing that the supervisor had already entered the room to question her, Jun Qiyan couldn''t sit still any longer. She hurriedly rushed down the stairs.


    "What else?"


    He Yuxuan held Su Wanyi''s hand tightly and flung her away. With a dark face, he asked angrily, "Is this lass called Lulu a newcomer? "How can you be so ignorant about the rules!"


    He Yuxuan was so strong that Su Wanyi was thrown to the other side, staggering a few steps. Fortunately, she was tightly holding onto the cabinet and did not fall to the ground, only then did she raise her head to look at He Yuxuan in extreme fear. However, the supervisor narrowed his eyes and mumbled with a blank face, "Lulu ¡­" However, this little one ¡­ "There hasn''t been any new girl called Lulu recently ¡­"


    "What did you say?"


    This time, not only He Yuxuan, but even the alcohol reeking Zhu Cheng was somewhat sober. Frowning, he asked, "Are you saying that there''s no one called Lu Luo from the Hongfu Building?"


    Su Wanyi was so scared that cold sweat broke out all over her body. She quickly let go of the cupboard and ran out as fast as she could.


    "Halt!"


    Without a doubt, Su Wan Yi''s escape was an admission of her identity. He Yuxuan and Zhu Cheng instantly became alert, grabbed their swords and charged out.


    Just as they were about to chase after him, a strong wind suddenly blew and closed the door with a "peng" sound, blocking their path.


    "We can''t stay here any longer, let''s go!"


    Jun Qiyan found a lock from somewhere and simply locked the door. Then, she pulled Su Wanyi by the hand and ran out. As she ran, she said in a low voice, "I''ve heard enough from the left and right. The most important thing right now is to quickly report this to the head of the family ¡­"


    Before Jun Qiyan could finish his words, he heard a loud sound coming from behind him. When he turned around, he saw that the door he had locked had been roughly opened by someone ¡­


    "Who do I think it is? So it was a villain sent by the Su Clan to listen to the wall!"


    The first person to rush out was He Yuxuan. He was still holding a ball of flame in his hand. Looking at the blue flame that was still burning on the paper, it wasn''t hard to guess that he had opened the door.


    Jun Qiyan cursed in her heart. She quickly turned around and sped up her pace, pulling Su Wanyi along with her.


    He had to escape before Zhu Cheng also came out!


    Otherwise, not to mention this was the He Family''s territory, even if it was He Yuxuan and Zhu Cheng, and he had Su Wanyi, who knew nothing, by his side ¡ª how could he be their match!


    "You want to run after hearing that? How can there be such a worthwhile thing in this world?"


    A shrill female voice sounded from in front of him. Jun Qiyan hurriedly stopped and looked at the woman standing in front of her with a vigilant expression.


    Su Wanyi also stopped and her body stiffened for a moment. With a frown, she quickly recognized this woman ¡ª she was the woman who sat on the other side of He Yuxuan and drank with him.


    But looking at the current situation, was it possible that he had already fallen into the He family''s trap?


    It was also because of this that Su Qiong had even sent "Yin Muda" here to gather information ¡­


    Wasn''t this obviously pushing Yin Muju into a pit of fire?


    Thinking of this, Su Wan Yi''s heart sank as a trace of viciousness flashed in her eyes.

 C156

    Taking advantage of Su Wanyi''s hesitation, the woman saw the opportunity and reached out her hand to grab Su Wanyi''s arm.


    "Hiss ¡ª"


    The woman had a long fingernail. With a stretch and a swipe, a few red scratches appeared on Su Wanyi''s arm.


    "Scram!"


    Upon hearing Su Wan Yi''s gasp, Jun Qiyan quickly turned her head. Without caring about the woman''s identity, she lifted her leg and kicked her in the stomach!


    The woman groaned and gritted her teeth, but she refused to let go no matter what. Instead, she increased the force of her grip on Su Wanyi''s hand and smirked, "You guys... You heard a lot, right? What, are you in a rush to go back and report to the Su family? "


    "Who am I reporting to? What does it have to do with you?"


    Jun Qiyan sneered and used her right hand to grip the woman''s hand. With a sudden burst of strength, she was able to pull it off Su Wanyi''s arm.


    Taking advantage of the fact that the woman was about to pounce on him again, Jun Qiyan slapped her heavily across the shoulder. The woman gave a muffled groan as she fell back several steps.


    Jun Qiyan quickly pulled Su Wanyi along as they ran out of Hongfu Pavilion. Unexpectedly, the woman who had just recovered jumped out from behind them and landed lightly on the ground. She even took out a dagger from her sleeves and was about to stab at Jun Qiyan.


    "Beautiful! Rui Xin, catch them for me! "


    Seeing that the woman had the upper hand, He Yuxuan and Zhu Cheng simultaneously shouted out. They leapt down from the second floor and surrounded Jun Qianyan and Su Wanyi.


    Jun Qiyan protected Su Wanyi behind him. She quickly pulled out a dagger and easily dodged Rui Xin''s attack. With a flick of her wrist, a bloody wound appeared on her arm.


    "You ¡­"


    The woman held onto her arm and stared at Jun Qianyan in surprise. She screamed, "I am the eldest miss of the Zhu Family ¡­ "But you actually dared to hurt me!"


    "Who are you and what does it have to do with me?"


    Jun Qiyan didn''t have the slightest bit of mercy for the fairer sex. As she watched the blood slowly flow from between Zhu Rui''s fingers, she coldly laughed, "To think that you''re even the eldest young miss of the Zhu Family. You actually fell to the stage of drinking with the He Family''s eldest young master? Tsk tsk tsk tsk ¡­ Your circle is really chaotic! "


    "You stinking brat!"


    As soon as Jun Qianyan finished speaking, Zhu Cheng lost his cool and burst into action. He raised his hand and several silver darts flew out from her hands and flew straight towards Jun Yunyan. However, he was easily evaded.


    Zhu Rui Xin didn''t stay idle either. She grabbed her dagger and flew towards Jun Qianyan. Unexpectedly, Jun Qianyan raised her foot and kicked her in the chest without a hitch. She stretched out her hand, and a bloody wound appeared on her delicate and pretty face!


    Ah!


    Zhu Rui caressed his face and crazily shouted at Jun Yunyan. His shrill voice was like a female ghost who had died tragically in the middle of the night. I''m going to kill you... I will kill you! "


    Zhu Ruixin shrieked and pounced towards Jun Qianyan, but Jun Qianyan didn''t have the time to waste on her. Seeing her pouncing towards him, Jun Qianyan''s body kicked her a few times in the air, and then with a side kick, Zhu Ruixin''s body flew to a corner and landed heavily on the ground, fainting on the spot.


    It wasn''t easy to get rid of this person who was blocking their way. However, just as she was about to pull the terrified Su Wanyi out of Hongfu Inn, the restaurant''s door was suddenly closed. A few waiters also stood at the entrance, revealing sharp swords as they stared at them viciously.


    "Capture him alive!"


    Jun Qiyan took a few steps back to protect Su Wanyi. At the same time, a fierce voice sounded out from behind her, "So that we can have fun for our brothers!"


    Jun Qiyan turned around to look at the person who had just spoken. It was none other than Zhu Cheng. He Yuxuan''s face had turned red from the alcohol earlier. Both of them were wielding a sword, and were staring at Jun Qianyin and Su Wanyi viciously.


    "Didn''t I say it before? Why does the name ''Lu Luo'' sound so familiar ¡­?"


    Zhu Cheng looked coldly at Jun Qiyan and Su Wanyi who were being surrounded. His lips slightly curved upwards in a smug, vicious and slightly lustful expression, "I heard that the Su Family still has a peerless beauty hidden in the shadows. What''s his name ¡­" Su Wanyi? And her maid, is called Loulan! "


    "Then it''s still not your turn to worry!"


    Jun Qiyan looked at Zhu Cheng''s lecherous face with a smile, then snorted in disdain, "Young Master Zhu and Young Master are always lusting after each other, aren''t you afraid ¡­" Is everyone dead? "


    Zhu Cheng''s eyes immediately narrowed as he coldly laughed, "It seems like you want that beauty to try!"


    "Try moving again!"


    Jun Qiyan could clearly feel that Su Wanyi was trembling in fear behind her. As she looked at the waiters who were getting closer to her, the silver blade light dazzled her eyes.


    Jun Qiyan raised her head and picked up Su Wan Yi by her waist. She jumped onto the second floor and was about to escape through the window on the second floor.


    Zhu Cheng''s eyes darkened as he chased after Jun Qianyan with his sword. However, he suddenly changed his direction ¨C he was actually flying straight towards He Yuxuan!


    He Yuxuan was stunned for a moment. Didn''t Zhu Cheng chase after the two of them? Why did he suddenly change directions?


    "Zhu Cheng!"


    He Yuxuan shouted and quickly dodged. However, it was as if Zhu Cheng had his eyes on He Yuxuan as he chased after him relentlessly.


    "This... "What''s going on?"


    Jun Qiyan asked in a low voice as he stared blankly at the dramatic scene.


    "Heart Control."


    Su Wan Yi tightly wrapped her arms around Jun Qiyan''s neck. She composed herself, glanced at the abnormal Zhu Cheng, then raised her head to look at Jun Qiyan and whispered, "I know how to ¡­" "A little."


    "What?"


    This time, it was Jun Qiyan''s turn to be surprised ¡ª she had thought that Su Wanyi knew nothing, but she had actually hidden this move!


    Inside the Hongfu Pavilion, He Yuxuan still didn''t understand why Zhu Cheng would suddenly appear so abnormal. However, with his ability, he clearly wasn''t Zhu Cheng''s match, so he could only struggle as he tried to defend while constantly dodging.


    Meanwhile, after Zhu Cheng forced He Yuxuan into a corner of Hongfu Pavilion, he expressionlessly swept his eyes over the unknown people below. With a wave of his hand, a few balls of fire flew out toward them and also towards the wooden tables and chairs downstairs.


    "Don''t... Stop looking and quickly leave! "


    Taking advantage of the moment when He Yuxuan was dodging Zhu Cheng''s attack, while the people downstairs were also flustered by the fire that was gradually rising, Su Wanyi tightened her arms and tightly leaned into Jun Feiyan''s embrace, gasping for breath as she said, "My ability is not good enough, his consciousness is recovering. If we don''t leave now, it''ll be too late!"


    Jun Qiyan woke up with a start. She picked up Su Wanyi and jumped down onto the street. Without caring about the horses in the stable, she sprinted down the street with Su Wanyi in her arms.

 C157

    The fire spread very quickly, and the crossbars began to burn, crackling down. Even the guests on the floor above the Hongfu Building noticed that something was wrong and ran down the stairs.


    As the commotion grew louder and louder behind him, Jun Qiyan turned her head back with unease. She looked at the fire with concern, saw that it had already spread all the way to the highest point in the sky, frowned, and then ran towards a relatively safe corner before stopping.


    "Brother Mu Du, are you alright?"


    Su Wan Yi was put down by Jun Qiyan. The moment her feet touched the ground, she grabbed onto the corner of Jun Qiyan''s shirt. She said carefully, "Sorry, it''s my fault. I messed up ¡­"


    "Silly girl, if you weren''t here, I wouldn''t even know how to eavesdrop."


    Jun Qiyan shook her head as she looked back at Hongfu Pavilion, which had caused quite a commotion, and said in a low voice, "Alright, since they haven''t caught up yet, let''s hurry back."


    "You''ve only been here for a day, why are you so concerned about the Su Clan?"


    Seeing that Jun Qiyan was about to leave, Su Wan Yi bit her lips. Her expression was somewhat unwilling, and she tightened her grip on the corner of Jun Qiyan''s clothes.


    "This... This is something that the Patriarch had instructed me to do. Now that I have completed my task, naturally, I have to return and report it. "


    Jun Qiyan couldn''t figure out the meaning behind Su Wanyi''s words, so she answered simply.


    "Why report back? Does the Su Clan''s life or death have anything to do with you?"


    Su Wan Yi released the hand that was holding onto Jun Qianyan''s clothes, her body swayed, and arrived before her. She spread out her arms, blocking her path, and said sternly, "Patriarch knew that Hongfu Pavilion was scheming against us, but he still allowed you to come and take the risk ¡ª don''t you understand? He doesn''t trust you at all! "


    Jun Qiyan was slightly startled, and immediately frowned.


    This Su Wanyi... It did not seem to be as simple as it looked.


    "So what do you need to report back to him for? You might as well take advantage of this opportunity and go to the Zhu Clan and He Clan. It''s better to work with them than to stay in the Su Clan! "


    Su Wanyi stared at Jun Qianyan, gritted her teeth and continued,


    "I was born and raised in the Su Family. I have seen the people of the Su Family clearly! Now that you have the chance to come out, I won''t allow you to go back! "


    "You don''t know, the one who sent people to kill you was none other than the clan head!"


    "Brother Mu Du, the Su family stepped on human blood and human bones to climb to the top of the aristocratic families. You don''t even know how dark the head of the Su family is ¡­ You really must not go back! "


    At the same time, inside Hongfu Restaurant, Zhu Cheng''s lifeless eyes suddenly regained its luster. He looked at He Yuxuan, who was holding a sword to him, with a puzzled expression on his face. He frowned slightly and asked curiously, "Brother Yuxuan, what are you doing? What about that woman and that brat? "


    Hearing Zhu Cheng''s words, He Yuxuan knew that he had returned to normal, and immediately became angry. He coldly scolded, "You still have the nerve to ask me what I''m doing? I haven''t even asked you what you''re doing!" Why did you leave those two alone and start attacking your brothers? "


    After He Yuxuan said this, he threw the sword in his hand and pointed at the raging fire downstairs. He continued to criticize: "See what you''ve done! Look at how this Hongfu Pavilion of mine has been burnt down by you! "


    "Brother Yuxuan!"


    Hearing this, Zhu Cheng was confused. He quickly put down the sword in his hand and explained, "I don''t know anything! I... "How could I possibly do such a thing that would harm the He Clan''s interests!"


    Recalling everything that had happened just now, Zhu Cheng truly did not know anything at all ¡­


    He was clearly flying towards those two with a sword in his hand, but why did it seem like he had just gotten drunk and lost consciousness in an instant? He suddenly didn''t know what he was doing.


    He only came back to his senses when he heard someone shouting to him. But what he saw was his sworn brother He Yuxuan pointing a sword at him, and the fire that was growing bigger and bigger, almost wanting to engulf Hongfu Restaurant.


    "Stop talking, hurry up and chase those two people!"


    He Yuxuan angrily glared at Zhu Cheng and softly shouted. He bent down and picked up the sword on the ground.


    She turned around and followed He Yuxuan into the original private room. The two of them jumped out of the window of the private room on the second floor and landed on the street downstairs.


    Without caring about the number of people inside the Hongfu Pavilion and who they were, Zhu Cheng and He Yuxuan turned and ran in the direction of the stables.


    "Brother Yuxuan, where should we go and stop them?"


    "The Su Clan''s main gate ¡ª they must be in a hurry to go back and divulge this news!"


    He Yuxuan replied without turning his head. He gritted his teeth fiercely as he swung the whip. The red horse beneath him whistled across the street like a hurricane.


    Zhu Cheng also followed closely behind He Yuxuan. When he saw that He Yuxuan did not slow down at all, he shouted, "There''s a small alley here. This way, it''s faster!"


    Hearing Zhu Cheng''s shout, He Yuxuan pulled the horse''s head and the horse whinnied. He quickly turned his head and chased after a small alley on the other side.


    "Brother Mu Kui!"


    Jun Qiyan shook off Su Wan Yi''s hand and was about to head for the Su residence, but was stopped by Su Wan Yi. She pleaded, "Don''t go back, please ¡­" Don''t go back! "


    "Su Wan Yi, this is not the Su Clan. Even if you have a bad temper, you shouldn''t be here!"


    His face darkened and he anxiously looked behind him. He then shouted in a deep voice, "Good boy, if you have anything to say, let''s go back and talk. Since we are still close to the Hongfu Pavilion, it''s hard to say if they will catch up with us."


    "..." "Sure!"


    Seeing that Jun Qiyan was determined to help the Su Family, Su Wan Yi was angry and annoyed. But Jun Qianyan was right, this place was not far from the Hongfu Pavilion. If He Yuxuan and Zhu Cheng caught up to them, they would not be able to say anything.


    "Since you don''t believe me, just you wait ¡­ When we get back to the Su Clan, I''ll let you see what is called dirty!"


    Su Wan Yi angrily gritted her teeth. With an unwilling expression, she glared at Jun Qianyan, gritting her teeth, "When the time comes, you will definitely regret it!"


    Hearing Su Wanyi''s words, a trace of joy flashed across Jun Qiyan''s heart.


    After all, she had always carried herself as a tiger, with the intention of entering the Su Clan. Su Wan Yi''s words were undoubtedly a great help to her.


    In the end, he had taken advantage of Su Wanyi and not obtained the information based on his own abilities. To be fair, Jun Qiyan felt a little guilty towards Su Wanyi. "Wanyi, I ¡­"


    "They''re here!"

 C158

    Just as Jun Qianyan finished speaking, Zhu Cheng''s voice suddenly sounded from his side.


    Jun Qiyan was shocked. She hugged Su Wanyi tightly and jumped onto the horse. She whipped the horse fiercely and the brown horse started galloping.


    "Capture them!"


    He Yuxuan''s voice also rang out from behind him. Jun Qiyan turned around and saw that she was being chased by over a dozen people led by Zhu Cheng and He Yuxuan.


    What was even worse was that they had already summoned their archers!


    "Hold tight!"


    Jun Qiyan knitted his eyebrows as he pulled Su Wanyi''s hand tighter and tighter and muttered in a low voice, "Damn it..." How did you catch up so quickly? "


    "It''s all my fault ¡­"


    Su Wan Yi glanced behind her and cold sweat began to form on her back. She then murmured, "If it wasn''t for my willfulness just now ¡­" I''m sorry, Brother Mo Du. "


    Su Wan Yi''s whisper was drowned by the howling of the wind, to the point that Jun Qiyan didn''t even hear him. Thus, she didn''t reply, only keeping her nerves taut, not daring to relax in the slightest.


    Zhu Cheng, who had been in hot pursuit of Jun Qianyan, saw his make a sudden turn and followed suit. However, ashe did so, she fell into a nearby pond with a splash.


    He Yuxuan only glanced at Zhu Cheng once before directly walking away from the pond. He had no intention of going into the water to save Zhu Cheng at all.


    Only when Zhu Cheng was soaking in the pond and shouting loudly did two people stop their horses. They quickly jumped into the water and pulled Zhu Cheng up.


    As Jun Qiyan turned the corner, she saw Zhu Cheng suddenly turn the horse''s head as if she had been possessed by an evil spirit. She then dived head first into the water, laughed twice, and whispered to Su Wanyi who was still in her embrace, "I''m afraid this is also a good thing you did, right?"


    "There''s really nothing that can be hidden from Big Brother Mu Kui."


    Su Wanyi''s face turned red. She giggled and pouted, "It''s a pity that her skills are too powerful. Otherwise, I would have let him go with me just now ¡­"


    What Su Wanyi said made Jun Qiyan suck in a breath of cold air.


    You really don''t want to mess with a woman no matter what!


    Luckily, he had never provoked her before. Otherwise, he wouldn''t even know how to deal with this heart control technique.


    Seeing that the distance between him and Jun Qiyan had grown larger and larger, He Yuxuan lost his patience. He reached out his hand, and a bolt of lightning appeared in the sky, striking straight towards the brown horse that Jun Qiyan and Su Wanyi were riding.


    A bolt of lightning suddenly exploded behind Jun Qianyan. Su Wan Yi trembled as she turned around to see an innocent tree being burnt to a crisp. She couldn''t help but blurt out, "How tragic ¡­"


    Hearing Su Wanyi''s'' gloating '', Jun Qianyan also turned her head to look at him. She was also breaking out in a cold sweat as she said faintly, "When they hit us, they''ll probably be even more miserable than this ¡­"


    Although Jun Qianyan was busy escaping, he still knew the reason ¡ª ¡ª According to She Yuxuan''s previous plan, the lightning strike should have hit him. The reason why it hit the tree was probably because Su Wanyi seized the loophole She Yuxuan was anxious to use the Heart Control Technique to forcefully transfer the lightning strike.


    "Brother Mu Kui, don''t worry. With me here, I won''t let them hurt you!"


    Hearing Jun Qiyan''s words, Su Wanyi quickly comforted her so that she could feel at ease.


    Even so, Jun Qiyan could hear the struggle in Su Wanyi''s voice. It was obvious that she had used too much of her energy, and she was starting to get tired. Even her breathing had become heavier.


    "Hug me tight and don''t look back."


    Jun Qiyan''s brows furrowed even more. After taking one last glance at He Yuxuan and Zhu Cheng, who were both further apart from him, he snapped his whip and the brown horse galloped away, speeding towards the Su Clan.


    After leaving the streets and running across a small lake, Jun Qianyan finally saw the Su Family''s luxurious mansion as well as the silver curved hook on top of the mansion.


    Bang!


    "Bang, bang, bang ~ ~ ~"


    It was unknown whether it was because it was late at night or not, but the Su Clan''s people had already fallen asleep. Jun Qiyan slammed her hands on the door several times, but there was still no sound of anyone opening the door from inside.


    "Damnit ¡­" Hurry up and find someone to open the door! "


    As Jun Qiyan pounded on the door, she glanced back in alarm, as if there were a large number of pursuers behind her, causing her to feel both anxious and fearful.


    "Wan Yi, they... Could something have happened? "


    Jun Qiyan pressed her ear against the door and listened for a while. Then she knocked heavily on the door for a while, but the other side of the door was still deathly silent.


    "Hmph, these are the people of the Su Clan!"


    Su Wan Yi gritted her teeth and angrily snorted. She followed Jun Qianyan and slammed the door twice, shouting loudly, "It''s me, Su Wan Yi! I''m back, hurry up and open the door! "


    Su Wan Yi shouted. Soon, there was the sound of light footsteps coming from the other side of the door.


    Immediately after, a crack appeared on the thick and heavy door. A person''s head popped out from the crack. After glancing at Su Wanyi, the door opened a little more.


    "It really is Lady Wanyi!"


    The butler who opened the door waved to Su Wan Yi, signaling her to come in quickly, as if he hadn''t seen Jun Qianyan at all.


    Jun Qiyan''s eyes widened in anger.


    After Su Wan Yi and Jun Qiyan had gone in, the butler locked the door tightly and explained, "Miss Wan Yi doesn''t know about this! Those people from the He family have come to cause trouble this afternoon, so the Patriarch has given the order first. We, the small ones, really don''t dare to open the door carelessly! "


    "Alright, alright, I don''t have time to listen to your nonsense!"


    Su Wan Yi angrily glared at the butler, then turned back to look at Jun Qianyan, and anxiously asked, "Where''s father? Is he sleeping? "


    "Probably not."


    In her anxiety, Su Wan Yi did not notice the brightly lit Su Family at all. She just ordered the butler with a dark face. However, Jun Qianyan noticed that something was wrong with the Su Family and whispered, "I''m afraid something has happened again."


    "Young Master Yin is wise!" The butler was startled by Su Wanyi''s earnest look. He was slightly stunned before he replied in a daze, "The Patriarch and a few of the Elders are in a meeting!"


    Hearing the butler''s words, Jun Qiyan hurriedly grabbed Su Wanyi''s hand and ran into the hall.


    As he entered the hall, Jun Qianyan realized that it wasn''t just the head of the household who was sitting inside; there were also several middle-aged men whom he had never seen before.


    After seeing that it was Jun Qianyan who barged in, Su Qiong was stunned for a moment. He then looked at Su Wanyi who was standing beside Jun Qianyin, and couldn''t help but ask, "How come Young Master Yin is back so soon?" "What''s wrong with Wan Yi?"


    "Because... "We were accidentally discovered."


    Jun Qiyan awkwardly replied after hearing Su Qiong''s words. She was also slightly out of breath from the journey.


    Taking advantage of the time before the elders had a chance to speak, Jun Qianyan hurriedly revealed He Yuxuan''s and Zhu Cheng''s intentions towards the Su Family. However, what made Jun Qianyan feel strange was that there wasn''t much of a change in the expressions of Su Qiqiong and the others, and only a few of them slightly frowned.

 C159

    "Cough cough, Mu Du, come over here for a moment."


    Su Qiong looked at the elders around him and saw the look of confusion on Jun Qianyan''s face. He beckoned her to come over and stand.


    Jun Qiyan hesitated for a moment. As he walked over, he looked at the calm expressions on everyone''s faces. The doubt in his heart grew ¡ª


    Could it be that it was just as Su Wan Yi said, that they all knew about it?


    Had he gone out this time just to protect them from a disaster?


    "We already know what you are talking about."


    Seeing Jun Qiyan walk over to his side, Su Qiong nodded his head and looked at her with a face full of satisfaction, "Our Su Clan''s assets at the bank have all been transferred back."


    Indeed!


    A trace of disgust flashed through Jun Qiyan''s eyes. She never thought that she would actually be the bait to lure the He and Zhu Families into taking the bait.


    Su Qiong paused for a moment before continuing, "Since you know that our Su Clan still has another mine, then I won''t hide it from you ¡­"


    You still want to tell me the truth?


    This was clearly at a point where he couldn''t keep it a secret any longer. He should be willing to say it!


    Hearing Su Qijian''s words, Jun Qiyan rolled her eyes in anger as she silently cursed in her heart.


    "Our Su Clan is at the Wu Ling Mountain Range, there is indeed a mine."


    As Su Qiong spoke, he glanced at the various elders in the hall as though he was asking for their permission before continuing, "Now that the matters of the bank have been resolved, the Five Spirit Mountain is in big trouble."


    "May I ask what you mean?"


    Jun Qianyan didn''t believe this old fox at all. He wondered if this fellow was planning to push him out again as he frowned, feigning concern as he probed, "Do I need to send Mu Du over?"


    "The Five Spirit Mountain is the Su Clan''s secret location. How can you just go there when you want to?!"


    As soon as Jun Qianyan finished speaking, Su Wan Yi seemed to have understood something. He hurriedly interrupted his, glaring at Su Qiong as he spoke.


    The sudden anger of Su Wanyi shocked Jun Qiyan momentarily, but she quickly reacted ¡ª ¡ª


    This girl had used Mind Reading!


    Right now, he was preventing Su Qiong from sending him to Five Spirit Mountain to continue encountering danger.


    "If we were to discuss this here, you little girl, why are you interrupting!"


    Su Qiong obviously didn''t like Su Wanyi''s words. His face sank as he shouted, "Men, send Second Miss back to her room to rest!"


    "I am also a member of the Su Family, and I am still the second young miss! Why can''t I join in? "


    As the saying goes, there must be a father who has a daughter. Jun Qianyan was surprised that Su Qiong did not have a good temper, but Su Wanyi had a bigger temper. She didn''t care who the people present were, and immediately went back to her father, "If it''s the real father, then Mu Shou is the one who shouldn''t have participated!"


    "I''m going against you!"


    Su Qiong was rendered speechless by Su Wanyi''s words. He could only stand up in anger while blowing on his beard and glaring at Su Wanyi.


    "Calm down, Patriarch!"


    Seeing that the Su Family''s meeting place was about to become the venue for the father and daughter duo''s argument, Jun Qianyan quickly tried to smooth things over. "To be honest, Second Miss did a great job in finding out more about Mu Ke!"


    "You even sneaked out?"


    Jun Qiyan was about to give a kind explanation, but he didn''t expect Su Qiong to reach such a crucial point. He was even more infuriated. He slapped the table twice and cursed, "You''re getting bolder and bolder!"


    Jun Qiyan was completely speechless. She could only cast a resentful glance at Su Wanyi, and said with a face of "You better behave yourself".


    Thinking back to when they were in Hongfu Restaurant, someone patted her chest and promised that it was the Patriarch who sent her out to help. But now, it seemed that her guess was correct. Su Wanyi had actually sneaked out secretly.


    "Stop arguing, stop arguing!"


    Seeing that the main event had been taken away by the father and daughter, several elders shook their heads and sighed. Finally, the white-haired elder knocked on the ground with his walking stick and said, "The most important thing right now is not to let Wan Yi be willful!" "And now that he''s injured, we should discuss how to deal with him!"


    "What?" Someone was already injured? Who was injured? "


    Hearing the elder''s words, Jun Qiyan anxiously stood up, looked around at the crowd, and hurriedly asked.


    That shouldn''t be!


    She had only heard the news this afternoon. Logically speaking, the actions of the He and Zhu Families shouldn''t have been so quick!


    "Mu Shou, don''t worry, the one who is injured is not a member of our Su Family."


    Su Qiong coughed lightly and retracted his anger from scolding Su Wanyi. He returned back to his serious expression and said faintly, "It was the Zhu Family who got beaten up by our Su Family ¡­ "He''s crippled."


    Crippled?


    [Isn''t he injured?]


    Jun Qiyan''s eyes widened as she looked at Su Qijian in disbelief. Su Wanyi, who was standing behind him, snorted lightly and then asked, "So that''s why I''m here to cause trouble, right?"


    "Go back!"


    It was unknown if it was because Su Qiong and Su Wanyi were naturally at odds with each other, but in just a short period of time, the two of them almost started quarreling again.


    "So ¡­" What are the elders doing now? "


    Even though she understood the situation, she didn''t understand the current situation. Jun Qiyan couldn''t help but ask. She really didn''t know why this son of hers was gathered here at night and didn''t want to sleep.


    "Mu Du." Su Qiong shot a glance at Jun Qianyan as a faint smile appeared on his face. However, the iciness contained within the smile was self-evident. "Do you think that our Su Clan is easy to bully?"


    Jun Qiyan immediately shook his head.


    The Su Clan is easy to bully?


    What a joke!


    No matter what, the Su Clan was the number one family in the territory!


    If it was that easy to bully, he wouldn''t have to pretend to come in here to gather information!


    "Alright, since all of you have returned safely, let''s end the discussion here for today!"


    Su Qiong looked around the silent hall, then at Jun Qianyin and Su Wanyi, before waving his hands helplessly, "Go back and rest early. Who knows what might happen tomorrow!"


    "Yes."


    Everyone stood up and left in an uproar.


    Even Jun Qiyan, who was following behind the elders, felt a little puzzled. However, when she was about to reach her room, she heard Su Wan Yi snort again. "Is this the end of the discussion?" I don''t think it has started yet! The reason why I don''t continue speaking is because I don''t trust you! "


    "Wan Yi!"


    Although Jun Qianyan also felt that Su Wan Yi''s words were reasonable, now was not the time to betray the Su Family. She put on a stern face and scolded her, "Chief, you know what you''re doing. How can you say anything more?"


    "A sense of propriety? "Pfft!"


    Su Wan Yi''s eyes widened as she looked at Jun Feiyan angrily. "If I hadn''t opened my mouth first, that old fox would have sent you to the Five Spirit Mountain to die!"

 C160

    "Die? It can''t be that bad, right? "


    Jun Qiyan couldn''t help laughing.


    Although she had guessed Su Qiong''s motive, it seemed like she was still ''useful'' to the Su Clan. He shouldn''t have destroyed her so quickly.


    "Brother Mu Kui, you really don''t know anything."


    Seeing that Jun Qiyan was about to go back to his room, Su Wan Yi quickly stepped forward to block her way. She lowered her voice, looked at her seriously and said, "Although the Five Spirit Mountain has the Su Family''s mine, the environment there is very harsh. As a result, those sent to guard the Five Spirit Mountain mines were usually the Su Clan''s branch descendants. As for them ¡­ Basically all of them will not be able to return, not to mention that the He and Zhu Families have even set up ambush traps there! "


    Jun Qiyan was stunned for a moment as she stared at Su Wanyi.


    "..." "I understand."


    He then patted Su Wan Yi''s shoulder and consoled her, "Relax, since the Patriarch has used a method to force me into the Su Family, it means that he doesn''t want me to die so quickly. Furthermore ¡­" Isn''t there a need for him to use me? "


    Hearing Jun Qiyan''s words, Su Wan Yi''s expression did not ease up at all. Seeing that there was fatigue in her eyes, she turned to close the door and sighed helplessly. "Forget it. Brother Mu Kuangyun, rest early. Wan Yi will tell you again tomorrow."


    Jun Qiyan nodded. After closing the door, she poured herself a cup of water and drank it all down.


    She should have already thought of that. No matter what, the Su Clan was still the head of an aristocratic clan, and their strength was definitely not simple. There were all sorts of ways to obtain the information ¡ª


    Therefore, to them, the matter of the bank and the mines were nothing. On the contrary, they were making a big fuss over nothing.


    It was also because of this that Su Qiong wanted him to go out and test his abilities, as well as his attitude towards the Su Clan.


    Now that this hurdle had passed, however, the struggle between the sandpiper and clam was bound to bring benefits to the fish.


    Currently, the Su Clan was being jointly dealt with by the second ranked He Clan and third ranked Zhu Clan, and they believed that behind this battle, there would definitely be someone who would interfere, leaping up to become the head of the Venerable Class.


    In this way, the least advantageous person would most likely be the Su Clan.


    It was rather difficult for him to bribe Su Qiong''s assassin to kill him, forcing him to come to the Su Clan to lend a hand.


    Suddenly, there was a commotion downstairs that pulled Jun Qianyan back from her thoughts. When she looked out the window at the sky, she couldn''t help but be a bit puzzled.


    "It''s the middle of the night, what are you arguing about ¡­"


    Jun Qi began to dye her clothes red, and shifted her gaze to the most noisy place in the room. But as she looked, her entire body shook ¨C


    First, a middle-aged man was propped up from the left and right and helped into a certain room in the building next door. Following that was a green-clothed man covered in blood.


    Jun Qiyan didn''t have enough time to think. She quickly ran over, her eyes wide with fear. As more and more people gathered around her, she didn''t know what to say.


    "What''s wrong?"


    When Su Wan Yi saw the frightened look on Jun Qianyan''s face, she was puzzled. She frowned slightly and asked, "Did something happen?"


    "Wan Yi... Do you know them? "


    Jun Qiyan hesitated for a while before he finally dared to ask Su Wan Yi.


    Seeing the cautious look on Jun Qiyan''s face, Su Wanyi also guessed what was going on. She quickly tiptoed to the middle of the crowd and was shocked.


    "Cousin? This... "How is this possible!?"


    Upon seeing the person being carried in, Su Wan Yi''s whole body shook. Her chin almost fell to the ground.


    "Cousin?"


    Jun Qiyan was shocked. Those people were actually the descendants of the Su Family?


    Could it be that the He and Zhu Families had already ¡­


    Jun Qiyan was suddenly enlightened. It seemed that the He and Zhu Families had abandoned their original plans, and had become so obviously a provocation.


    "Give way ¡­ Please make way. "


    When Jun Qiyan saw that Su Qiqi had also arrived, she quickly pulled Su Wanyi towards her and squeezed to her side.


    As he walked to the center of the crowd, Jun Qiyan could clearly see the two men lying flat on the ground. As for Su Qiong, he stood at the side, his eyes turning red from anger as he stared fixedly at the two men covered in blood lying on the ground.


    The Elders from before all stood by Su Qiong''s side, their eyes red. Each and every one of them was so angry that they gasped for air, but at the same time, their faces were filled with grief for the loss of their children.


    "The He and Zhu Families are really going too far!"


    Su Wan Yi could not bear to watch any longer. Her eyes turned red and her voice became choked with sobs. "You actually launched a sneak attack at me in the middle of the night!? How despicable! "


    "Exactly! Even though Zhi Yuan is still so young, he still used such a heavy hand! "


    "Aren''t they clearly bullying the weak and fearing the strong? And you even made a move on our descendants, is it because you want us to kill off our descendants? "


    The moment Su Wanyi''s words left her mouth, a lot of people at the side indignantly echoed her words. However, most of them could not bear to look at these two seriously injured people and kept sighing.


    Seeing the two covered in blood, Jun Qiyan''s brows tightly knitted together.


    Just as Jun Qiyan was still hesitating on whether or not he should lend a hand, he heard Su Qiong sigh heavily as he shot a glance at the elder standing behind him.


    The elder nodded his head and immediately instructed the others to bring a white cloth to slowly cover the two of them.


    This time, Jun Qiyan was completely stupefied.


    Did the Su Clan just give up the pace of healing?


    "Liar ¡­" Are you kidding me? "How could this be ¡­"


    Su Wan Yi couldn''t believe it. She rushed forward and lifted up a small piece of white cloth. With red eyes and trembling hands, she placed it in front of the man''s nose.


    There was no aura.


    Su Wanyi''s eyes widened in disbelief. She once again laid her head in front of the man''s chest and listened for a long time without moving.


    However, Jun Qianyan and the others also saw with certainty that the blue-clothed man''s chest was no longer heaving.


    "Wan Yi, come back."


    Seeing this, Su Qiong frowned and heavily sighed. He advised in a low voice, "Your cousin has already left. Let him rest well ¡­ ¡­" We will take revenge for him! "


    Su Qiong''s few sentences had sealed the man''s life. Su Wanyi didn''t know what to do. Tears the size of beans fell as hard as she could, but she couldn''t utter a single word.


    The He and Zhu Families ¡­


    Jun Qiyan also let out a heavy sigh, looking at the blue clothed man and the green clothed man with a serious expression.

 C161

    "Both young masters died from their injuries. I hope that everyone will... "My condolences."


    The elder let out a heavy sigh, slowly recounting the situation of the two men in blue and green.


    The Su Clan members immediately sucked in a breath of cold air. Besides sighing at the untimely death of the two young masters, there were even more people who were viciously vicious towards the He Clan and Zhu Clan, gnashing their teeth in anger. They all wished for nothing more than to tear apart the He Clan and Zhu Clan members with their bare hands and make them pay a debt of blood!


    "Wan Yi."


    Jun Qiyan walked to Su Wan Yi''s side, frowned, and gently caressed her shoulder.


    In this situation, even Jun Qiyan didn''t know what to say. She could only call out to Su Wan Yi in a probing manner.


    With reddened eyes, Su Wan Yi pushed her away and ran upstairs.


    It was the first time that Jun Qiyan had been rejected by Su Wan Yi in such a manner. She felt uncomfortable and subconsciously wanted to chase after them, but she saw that there were still so many people around.


    Jun Qiyan immediately retracted her hand. Seeing that the Su Family had shifted their gaze back to the two men who had "heroically sacrificed themselves" to the Su Family at such a young age, she muttered the words "Amitabha" in her heart. While the Su Family members were still immersed in grief, no one paid attention to her anymore.


    The first thing Jun Qiyan did after she left was to go to Su Wanyi''s yard.


    From the look in her eyes as she turned to look at him, Jun Qianyan knew that she actually had something to say. It was just that there were too many people around at that time, so it wasn''t convenient for her to say it.


    "Wan Yi, are you there?"


    Jun Qiyan wanted to push open the door and enter, but when she touched the door, she realized that she was still a man. She couldn''t help but worry about Su Wanyi, who was still a young lady yet to leave the pavilion, so she knocked lightly on the door and asked in a low voice, "I can come in ¡­"


    Before Jun Qiyan could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by the sound of a door opening. Immediately afterwards, she saw Su Wan Yi''s serious expression.


    Su Wan Yi looked around. Seeing that there was no one outside, she reached out her hand and dragged Jun Qiyan into the room, slamming the door shut.


    "Wan Yi, what are you doing?"


    However, she could only pretend that she didn''t know anything. She comforted her in a low voice, "I know that you were very upset because of your cousin''s death, but you couldn''t help but to care about the Elders just now ¡­ I snuck over to see you before they noticed you. "


    "I ¡­"


    Su Wan Yi bit her lips and lowered her head. She sighed heavily, "Do you still remember what I said? Those two older cousins are from the side branch. I had a good relationship with them when I was young, so ¡­ I also learned about the situation in the Five Spirit Mountain from them. "


    "No wonder you are so sad."


    When she saw Su Wan Yi sitting down on the bed, she lowered her head and stopped talking. Thinking that she was still lost in the loss of her two close relatives, Jun Qiyan could only walk to the side and sit down. She too pursed her lips and did not speak, afraid that she would be disturbed.


    "But Brother Mo Du, this isn''t the thing that grieves me the most."


    After a moment, Su Wan Yi seemed to have collected her emotions. She took a deep breath, raised her head and stared at Jun Qianyan. She lowered her voice and asked in a serious tone, "Do you know what''s waiting for them?"


    "Who?" Jun Qiyan didn''t know how to react. "Your two cousins?"


    Su Wan Yi nodded.


    "The white cloth has already been covered. Next up ¡­" We can only order people to order good coffins to be buried! "


    After he finished speaking, he faintly smiled, and jokingly replied with a question, "If that''s not the case, could it be that the Patriarch remembers that they are still so young, and can''t bear for them to be alone in the underworld, and then have an underworld marriage, so that they can also get married and have a family?"


    "How is this possible!?" How could they have such a good heart! "


    Hearing Jun Qiyan''s words, Su Wan Yi was so angry that she almost jumped up. She shouted out loud like she was losing control of herself, but soon realized that there might be people eavesdropping outside. She quickly lowered her voice, sighed angrily, and said in a low voice, "Those people outside have no good intentions.


    As she spoke, she stood up and walked towards Jun Qiyan.


    On the surface, Jun Qianyan still wore an expression of confusion, but his heart was already clear on the matter.


    It seemed like tomorrow was a good opportunity!


    "It''s getting late, so go back and rest. Once you''ve recovered, I''ll go and find you tomorrow."


    Su Wan Yi walked to Jun Qiyan''s side and held her hand. After staring at her for two seconds, she sighed again. "I just hope that Brother Mu Kuang-ge won''t bring this up with anyone else. Not even a single word!"


    "I understand."


    Jun Qiyan heavily nodded her head. After she held Su Wan Yi''s hand, she lightly patted it and said in a low voice, "I saw that the people from the Su Family didn''t do anything to you. I believe you must have some hidden reason for hating the Su Family this much ¡­ "Don''t worry, I will keep this a secret for you."


    "Who would be willing to keep such a filthy secret for the rest of their lives!"


    Su Wan Yi let out a cold snort and shook her head, a trace of viciousness flashed in her eyes, "We''re just keeping this a secret for now. When the time comes, I want everyone in the world to see what those old bastards of the Su Family look like!"


    Seeing that Su Wan Yi seemed to have changed, her aura changed in an instant. Jun Qiyan could not help but laugh in her heart, but she didn''t show it on the surface. She pretended to be surprised and nodded in agreement.


    "But, have you ever thought that at that time, the Su family would be mocked by the people of the world, and you ¡­ Maybe it can''t be avoided? "


    Thinking about what might happen in the future, Jun Qianyin couldn''t help but feel some sympathy for Su Wan Yi. After thinking for a moment, she asked in a low voice, "You are still a daughter of the Su Family. If the Su Family gave birth to you, you could raise you.


    "The one who gave birth to me was my mother, and the one who almost raised me into an adult is also my mother ¡­ Why would the Su family give birth to me and raise me?"


    Jun Qiyan''s words were like needles that pierced Su Wanyi''s heart. Compared to the fierceness in her eyes just now, even the expression on her face was emitting a chilling aura.


    "I don''t want to go against the Su Clan. Has the Su Clan gone with me? Can you tell me what the Su Clan gave me besides a surname? Furthermore, this surname is stained with my mother''s blood, and was exchanged with my mother''s life! "

 C162

    The sky gradually turned white, and he could see some light.


    Jun Qiyan was quietly lying on the bed. She had not closed her eyes for almost an entire night.


    Aside from the commotion caused by the death of the two young masters from a branch family, when dawn arrived, the shop owner finally brought the coffin over.


    This time, there was a good deal of noise and commotion, so much so that Jun Qiyan didn''t even have a chance to fall asleep.


    When she thought back to Su Wan Yi''s words, although she had not revealed the reason yet, Jun Qiyan could guess that Su Wan Yi''s mother''s death must have something to do with the Su family''s dirty deeds.


    Hearing the ruckus outside the room, as well as the cries of the Su Family members and the occasional footsteps, Jun Qiyan couldn''t do anything about the ruckus. Right now, even though she hadn''t slept for the entire night, she felt her temples throbbing and her head throbbing painfully.


    Helpless, she could only get up and set up a barrier around the bed, completely isolating herself from the noise outside. Only then did she lie back down on the bed, closing her heavy eyelids.


    The world outside the door did not seem to have anything to do with Jun Qiyan. No matter how noisy the people outside the door were, Jun Qiyan could not detect it at all, and only slept with her head in her hands.


    She didn''t know how long she slept, but after a long dream, she opened her eyes.


    With a slight turn of his head, he could see Su Wanyi, who was dressed in a black dress, sitting in a serious manner outside the barrier. She was staring at him with her bewitching almond-shaped eyes.


    Jun Qiyan was slightly surprised. She wasn''t surprised that Su Wanyi had come to find her. She was just surprised that Su Wanyi had waited for her for so long.


    Jun Qiyan didn''t think too much and didn''t even sit up. The first thing she did was to remove the barrier and ask, "How long have you been here?"


    "I don''t know either, but ¡­"


    Seeing that Jun Qiyan had already woken up, Su Wan Yi''s serious face finally relaxed. After hearing her question, she raised her head and looked at the sky outside the window. After thinking for a moment, she said, "It''s about time for them to make their move."


    "Now?"


    Su Wanyi''s words immediately roused Jun Qiyan''s spirits. She quivered for a moment, then quickly got off the bed. She looked at Su Wanyi nervously and asked in a low voice, "Then when you came ¡­" Have you been discovered? "


    "On the way here, I met two servants, but did Brother Mu Kui forget? I know a bit of Mind Control Technique!"


    Su Wanyi tilted her head and thought for a moment. Suddenly, she gave a slight smile and said proudly, "After the last incident, Wan Yi is now very careful. She definitely won''t cause trouble for Brother Mu Kui."


    "Silly girl, I''m not afraid of you causing trouble for me, I''m afraid of you making things difficult for the Patriarch!"


    Jun Qiyan rolled her eyes in annoyance. She gave Su Wan Yi a helpless look, then picked up her shirt and put it on, "What about now? We can''t just go over, can we? It''s better to be prepared. "


    "Don''t worry, Brother Moyu, Wan Yi has already made arrangements."


    After she saw Jun Qiyan''s pair of eyes roll up, she stopped laughing and explained, "There is someone guarding that secret room, but there is also a need to change shifts. Right now, the ugly times are almost over, and they''re changing shifts at the right time. We can just sneak in at this time."


    "So ¡­" Your clothes were made for the convenience of sneaking in at night? "


    When Jun Qiyan heard this, her eyebrows knitted together. When she saw Su Wanyi''s well-prepared change into a black dress, she could not help but curse, "You''re such a clever little devil!"


    "Isn''t this all for Brother Mu Kui?!"


    Su Wanyi pouted in dissatisfaction as she watched Jun Qiyan strip off her light-colored clothes with interest. She turned around and walked to the wardrobe, and couldn''t help but giggle foolishly.


    Jun Qiyan was speechless. This time, she didn''t turn around to roll her eyes. She only searched the wardrobe but couldn''t find any black clothes.


    Helpless, Jun Qiyan could only take out a brown robe that was nearly black and change into it.


    "What are you looking at now that he''s gone!"


    When she turned around, she still saw Su Wan Yi staring at her blankly. She couldn''t help but feel helpless yet amused. She walked straight over, reached out her hand and lightly scratched Su Wan Yi''s nose. She reminded her, "If you look again, you might miss their chance to change shifts."


    "That''s right!"


    Only then did Su Wan Yi recover from her shock of seeing Jun Qiyan in such a beautiful state. She quickly stood up and ran out of the room.


    After she quietly opened the door a crack, Su Wan Yi didn''t even dare to peek her head out. She only dared to use one eye to observe what was happening outside through the gap in the door.


    Seeing that there was no one outside the door, Su Wan Yi then carefully opened the door to a gap that could accommodate someone. She then went through the gap with Jun Qianyan and carefully closed the door.


    Perhaps at this time, all of the Su Family''s guards were changing shifts. Just like this, Jun Qiyan bent her body and tiptoed as she observed her surroundings. At the same time, she followed behind Su Wanyi and moved quickly and nimbly along the wall, not daring to make even the slightest sound.


    After passing through four corridors and avoiding the guards of the Seventh Night Patrol, Jun Qiyan and Su Wanyi finally arrived at the garden. They squatted in the underbrush and waited for the other night patrol to leave. Only then did Su Wan Yi dare to continue walking with Jun Qiyan.


    As they left the garden, Jun Qiyan felt a sense of familiarity surge through her. It wasn''t until Su Wan Yi brought her to that row of rooms that she was jolted awake.


    Wasn''t this the place where the gatekeeper prepared to let him stay when he first came to the Su Clan?


    But he had actually missed it!


    Could it be that the Su Clan had really reached the acme of perfection? Could it be that the more dangerous a place was, the safer it would be?


    "Dark room... Are you sure it''s here? "


    Jun Qiyan deliberately asked Su Wanyi. It was obvious that she still could not believe that the secret room containing the secrets of the Su Family had been discovered by an outsider like her.


    But she also knew that the gatekeeper had only dared to bring her here on that day due to Su Qiong''s orders. She didn''t expect that it was all just a pretense to confuse her!


    "I''ve already brought you here, do you still not believe me?"


    Su Wanyi turned back to look at Jun Qianyan, a sarcastic smile on her face.


    I know what Brother Mu Kui is thinking, and I''ll tell you the truth. All the guests that enter this Su Family estate, the Patriarch will call for someone to bring them here, to let them see the desolation of this place. This way, they can make the guests despise this place, so they will naturally not come back.

 C163

    Su Wan Yi''s words caused Jun Qiyan to be shocked. She had thought that the Su Clan was wary of her, and had never expected that the Su Clan would do this to everyone who had the chance to stay for the night!


    "Heh, then he really is just a cunning fox!"


    But very quickly, he turned his gaze towards Su Wan Yi. He asked in puzzlement, "You just said that you grew up at your parents'' place, and not long after coming to the Su Family, how did you find out the location of this secret chamber? The Su Clan ¡­ You shouldn''t be so careless. "


    "That''s right. To them, although I am of the Patriarch''s bloodline, I am no different than any other child of the branch family."


    Perhaps it was because of her sadness, but Su Wanyi could clearly see the hatred in her eyes.


    "Brother Mu Kui doesn''t know, but I am Su An Yun''s half-sister and half-sister ¡­ "Perhaps this is also the reason why I can''t be known by everyone like Su An Yun. From start to finish, I have only been an illegitimate daughter."


    "An illegitimate daughter?"


    Jun Qiyan was astonished.


    She thought that Su Wanyi was only younger than Su An, and her ability was not as good as Su An''s, which was why Su Wanyi was hidden by the Su family. She didn''t expect Su Wanyi and Su An to have such a relationship!


    If she was an illegitimate daughter who could not appear on the stage, it was no wonder that she would be hidden by the Su Clan.


    "It is precisely because I am an illegitimate child that my mother is treated that way."


    Su Wanyi''s tone was very light, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her. However, Jun Qiyan understood that the more she spoke, the more emotions she was hiding.


    "That''s why I''ve often wondered, could it be that my mother was already targeted by these beasts, which is why the family head doted on my mother, gave birth to me, so that he could keep my mother, and be of use to her in the future?"


    Su Wan Yi''s eyes were fixed on a certain spot in front of her without moving away from her. Her expression was even more indifferent, but Jun Qiyan could still hear the emotions that were churning within her heart.


    "What do you mean?"


    The truth was getting closer and closer to him. Jun Qiyan wasn''t in a hurry to find it, so she pretended to be puzzled as she asked.


    Su Wanyi turned around.


    Her eyes stared straight at Jun Qiyan, filled with countless emotions. However, the most eye-catching of them all was only hatred and grief.


    "You''ll know in a while."


    Su Wanyi suddenly stopped talking and shrunk her body.


    Upon seeing this, Jun Qianyan also squatted down. She cautiously looked forward and saw two figures walking out from the darkness.


    "Now! Quick, follow me! "


    Su Wan Yi''s eyes lit up when she saw the two figures. She quickly pulled Jun Qiyan along as she crept towards them and stood up straight.


    "You ¡­"


    Jun Qiyan was somewhat surprised to see Su Wan Yi walk into their trap. However, when she looked carefully, the two men''s expressions were dull and their eyes were gloomy. They immediately understood and shut their mouths.


    "Please lead the way."


    Su Wan Yi whispered as she held Jun Qiyan''s hand tightly and looked at the two men.


    The two men nodded dumbly before slowly turning around and bringing Su Wan Yi and Jun Qiyan to the back of the room.


    Jun Qiyan''s eyes immediately widened ¨C wasn''t this the same room that he had been brought into before?


    Sure enough, one of them opened the heavy silver lock and pushed open the room that seemed to have been sealed in dust for a long time.


    The furnishings in the room were exactly the same. Jun Qiyan could still hear how the gatekeeper had hummed to her with contempt.


    It was also ¡­


    A person who could come to the Su Clan and be a guest, not only was he brought to such a remote place, he was even provoked by a servant like that and gave everyone a stomach full of anger. Naturally, he would no longer think about living there.


    It had to be said, the Su Clan''s move was truly amazing!


    The more dangerous the place was, the safer it would be!


    There was a sharp glint in Jun Qiyan''s eyes. After Su Wan Yi and Jun Qianyan had entered the room, the two of them were still standing outside, closing the door as if nothing had happened. They naturally locked the door as if nothing had happened, then turned around and left.


    Jun Qiyan frowned. She turned around to look at Su Wanyi, only to see Su Wanyi shaking her head with pursed lips, indicating her not to speak.


    "Ai, this job is really hard."


    Soon enough, Jun Qiyan heard someone''s voice coming from outside the door. She looked up and saw that the two of them seemed to have recovered their wits; they could only remember how it looked like to go back after completing their mission.


    "Having dealings with the dead on a daily basis makes one feel unlucky... Let''s go and wash ourselves with the grapefruit leaves! "


    "Didn''t they already come over!?" What are you panicking for? "


    The other person couldn''t help but sneer, "Let''s go. It''s time to pay tomorrow. Let''s go have a midnight snack first and enjoy ourselves!"


    Only when the sound outside completely disappeared did Jun Qiyan dare to retract her gaze and look at Su Wanyi in surprise.


    So Heart Control could actually have this kind of effect!


    Su Wanyi was not a piece of trash, but a hidden expert!


    "Finally, I made it far."


    Along the way, Su Wan Yi was quite nervous. Now that they had safely and secretly arrived at the vicinity of the dark room, she was completely relieved.


    "Sure, little girl!"


    Jun Qiyan looked at Su Wanyi with a face of pleasant surprise. Seeing that Su Wanyi was sweating profusely from her nervousness, she couldn''t help but extend her hand to wipe the sweat off her forehead. She asked, "Sigh, such a secretive place, how did you find out?"


    Su Wan Yi stared fixedly at Jun Qiyan for a moment, then held her hand and walked further into the house. She looked outside the window with worry, and finally dared to say,


    "Not long after my mother passed away, I went to that garden to play. In the evening, I accidentally fell into the water and was fished out by those two."


    Jun Qiyan frowned. "And then?"


    "Perhaps I had thought that I had fainted, but they thought that I had died and didn''t report it to the Patriarch. They brought me here without permission, thinking that I was also near the darkroom ¡­ When I woke up, I was in the darkroom. "


    Su Wan Yi spoke softly. Her voice was getting softer and softer and her eyes were getting emptier. She seemed to have thought of something creepy and her face turned pale.


    Fortunately, the two of them did not go far, and after hearing my voice, they turned back to look for me. I knew that this could not be known to others, so I used the Heart Control Technique my mother taught me to control the two of them. From then on, I remembered that there was a hidden expert in the Su family. "The Infernal Realm."

 C164

    As Su Wanyi finished her sentence, footsteps came from outside the room. There was light coming from outside.


    "They''ve finished their shift change ¡­" "Let''s go!"


    Su Wan Yi was stunned for a moment before she pulled Jun Qiyan''s hand towards the bed at the back of the room.


    Jun Qiyan was led inside. Only when she reached the bedside did Su Wan Yi let go of her hand. She looked left and right, as if searching for something.


    "Come and help me."


    Su Wan Yi walked to the bed and looked around. After touching the bed for a while, she turned around and said, "Come, move this bed away."


    Jun Qiyan frowned. Even though he was a man, his strength was not as great as a real man''s.


    In other words, would two girls be able to move this bed?


    Jun Qiyan was walking forward doubtfully. He had thought that the bed would be very heavy and that there would be a thick layer of dust on it due to the "contrast". However, the moment his hand touched the bed, he was stunned ¨C


    Not only was the bed spotless, but the entire bed was unexpectedly light ¡­


    After moving away from the bed, she was reminded by Su Wanyi. Only then did she notice the door to the dark room embedded in the floor beneath the bed.


    Rather than calling it a dark room, it would be more accurate to call it a basement.


    Jun Qiyan lifted the cover and pulled Su Wanyi along with one hand. She carefully walked a few steps down the stairs before following her down.


    After entering the basement stairs, Jun Qiyan tightly latched the cover plate, and the surroundings immediately turned pitch black.


    Jun Qiyan snapped his fingers. The tip of his forefinger was like a match, and a small white flame danced about, lighting up a part of his field of vision.


    "Let''s go."


    Jun Qiyan carefully looked around. Her other hand was holding Su Wanyi''s hand as they walked along the brick wall.


    In the dim light of the flame in his hand, Jun Qiyan could faintly make out a row of shelves within the dark room. From the reflection of the light, it wasn''t hard to tell that these shelves were filled with many good glass bottles.


    Jun Qiyan''s brows knitted together. In addition to the horrifying glass bottle, she also smelled the stench of blood.


    When he approached the bottle, Jun Qiyan realized that the bottle was actually filled with the face of a baby!


    Jun Qiyan was shocked. Su Wan Yi, who was standing behind her, seemed to be used to seeing this. She was expressionless. She smiled when she saw Jun Qiyan''s sudden appearance. "Brother Mu Kuangyun was scared?"


    Jun Qiyan shook his head. After calming himself down, he moved the flame a bit. Only then did he see that the other bottles on the shelf were soaked in all sorts of creepy things.


    There were still unformed babies, as well as all sorts of human organs. There were also a countless number of others that were similar to animal organs ¡­


    Jun Qiyan felt all the hair on her body stand up. If it wasn''t for her strong mental fortitude, she might have been like Su Wanyi, screaming out loud in fear.


    Su Wan Yi was familiar with the basement. With the help of the flickering flame on her finger, she found the source of the light in the basement.


    The basement suddenly became bright, and naturally no longer needed that small flame.


    Jun Qiyan moved his forefinger, and the small flame disappeared. When he looked at the bright basement again, Jun Qianyan was finally able to clearly see what it looked like ¡ª ¡ª


    There were a few mural like corpses hanging on the wall. Upon closer inspection, two of the corpses belonged to Su Wan Yi''s two cousins.


    He should have been completely buried in the coffin, but now he was hanging on the wall of the basement. His abdomen was wide open and empty, and his blood had already congealed.


    Looking at the numerous organs on the shelves, Jun Qiyan suddenly felt something churning in his stomach, still moving upwards.


    Really ¡­ Nausea.


    Hell ¡­ Su Wanyi''s description wasn''t accurate enough. Rather than calling it hell, it would be more appropriate to call it a slaughterhouse.


    "This must be..." How many lives are there? "


    Jun Qiyan looked around, frowned, and shook his head. He muttered to himself as he walked forward to take a look at the corpses.


    With a single glance from afar, Jun Qiyan discovered that the corpses actually had labels attached to them. Upon closer inspection, the labels actually had the time of death of these people written on them.


    "What is this?"


    Jun Qiyan frowned as he looked at the labels. He turned his head and asked, "Do you have to see how fresh they are?"


    "They probably thought that after how long it would take, they would be able to move it out without attracting too much attention."


    Su Wanyi glanced at the labels and her eyes turned cold. Her expression was filled with unconcealable hatred, "I am not sure how many people died here. I only know that it was the direct descendant of the Su Clan who did this!"


    "What do they need so many organs for?"


    Jun Qiyan sucked in a breath of cold air. It would be strange if her heart could calm down in this gloomy and terrifying environment.


    "Pill refining and medicinal herbs!"


    Su Wan Yi turned around and looked at Jun Feiyan in grief and indignation. She growled in a low voice, "Brother Mu, don''t you know that in the entire Eastern Xuan Continent, everyone was born with spirit energy. Moreover, they were all above those devils, spirit beasts, and medicinal herbs!"


    The question from Jun Qianyi infuriated Su Wanyi. She could not care less about the fact that the person in front of her was someone she liked. She blurted out, "Didn''t the Su Family have Elder Su as well as a high-level alchemist like Su An Yun? Ever since then, the people of this world have only known that the Su Clan''s alchemists were powerful, but never knew that it was all because of the pills they had refined, and that they had added an organ to a person''s body! "


    Jun Qianyan nodded his head and sneered, "That was indeed unexpected ¡­" "On the surface, it seems like the number one aristocratic family is doing these dirty things behind the scenes!"


    Jun Qianyan sneered as he reached out his hand to touch the rotten corpses, but was held back by Su Wanyi.


    "You already know the secret of the Su Clan. You should know what to do, right?"


    Su Wan Yi tightly gripped Jun Qiyan''s wrist. There was no longer any sign of docility during the day, but rather the appearance of someone who had a deep hatred for Jun Qiyan. Her cold eyes were staring straight at Jun Qiyan, as if she wanted to freeze her into ice.


    For a moment, Jun Qiyan thought that Su Wanyi must have had a personality disorder. Otherwise, how could she have had such a completely opposite appearance?


    "Naturally."


    Jun Qiyan made her move, but was unable to free her wrist from Su Wanyi''s grasp. She could only stare at Su Wanyi for a moment, then suddenly seemed to come to a realization as she laughed in a low voice, "Su Wan Yi, you said that liking is a fake, but you are only ¡­" You want to use me to report your revival? "


    "What else?"


    Contrary to Jun Qianyin''s expectations, Su Wanyi didn''t deny her decision. Instead, her eyebrows were raised as she smiled proudly, "Someone who doesn''t bow down to Su Anyun, and is also her enemy, who has won over her many times ¡­ How can I let you go? "


    "So you already knew."


    Jun Qiyan suddenly realized that her guilt over taking advantage of Su Wanyi had disappeared. Instead, it was replaced with mockery. She could not help but laugh at herself for being fooled by this little girl.


    "So your feelings for me are also fake, right?"


    The pressure on his heart suddenly lessened, and even his tone became relaxed: "You used the excuse that you liked me to get close to me, but it was just to make it easier for me to plan how to destroy the Su Clan, right?"


    Su Wan Yi nodded with a smile. She let go of Jun Qianyan''s wrist, smiled, leaned on Jun Qianyan''s shoulder, and blew gently, "That''s right."


    "Very good!"


    Jun Qiyan was completely at ease. She laughed twice, and for some reason, she started to like this "honest" Su Wanyi in front of her.


    Jun Qiyan turned around and pushed Su Wanyi away with a faint smile, "Then let me tell you why I didn''t kneel under Su Anyun''s petticoat, because ¡­" I am not a man. "


    After Jun Qianyan finished speaking, she suddenly reached her hand under the collar. Under Su Wanyi''s puzzled gaze, she dug a hole through the part of the mask and slowly began to pull it up ¡­


    Upon seeing that Jun Qiyan was a girl, Su Wan Yi was shocked at first, but then she smiled in relief.


    "It''s rare for Brother Poisonfeather to be this honest, then I might as well tell you another thing."


    Su Wan Yi smiled brightly. She was obviously in a good mood and didn''t mind being pushed away by Jun Feiyan. She slowly walked back to her side and whispered, "Brother Mu Kui was able to come to the Su Family. I''ve helped a lot!"


    Jun Qianyan frowned as he came to a sudden realization. He coldly asked, "What, could it be that you instigated Su Qiong to bribe a killer to kill me and force me to come to the Su Clan?"


    "Then what? Do you still remember that I said the Su Clan had other guests? Their fates are probably the same as their brothers ¡­ "


    Su Wan Yi''s eyes narrowed as she looked at Jun Qianyan, a hint of coldness and warning appearing in her smile, "So do you think that if I didn''t help you in the back, you would have been able to survive in the Su Family until I brought you here?"


    "Thank you so much!"


    Seeing Su Wanyi''s more sincere appearance, Jun Qianyin couldn''t help but burst out laughing. She narrowed her eyes before patting Su Wanyi on the shoulder and solemnly said, "Rest assured, I''m not a person who doesn''t want to hold a favor. If you want it, I''ll do my best to help you."


    Very good!


    He had thought that he was making use of Su Wanyi, a girl who had just fallen in love. He felt guilty inside, but now it seemed that he had been taken advantage of by this girl who was pretending to be innocent ¡­


    As expected, the head of the Su Clan had never been a fox without a spirit!


    It was inevitable that the Su Clan would fall, but Su Wanyi still had to be on her guard against them. After the Su Clan was defeated, she would take on the entire Su Clan by herself.


    Especially since she also knew that terrifying mind control skill!

 C165

    Jun Qiyan was lying on her bed. She had not slept since she had returned from the basement ¡ª first because the sky had gradually turned bright, causing her to no longer have the desire to sleep, and secondly because of the frightening scene in the basement.


    If it weren''t for Su Wanyi''s guidance, even the head of the Su Family might not have known that the Su Family had done such a despicable thing behind the scenes. Not only did they collude with the black market, they even colluded with the dead!


    Not to mention ''believing''.


    It was not until dawn had finally arrived that Jun Qiyan was still thinking about what kind of mood she should brew to wander outside when she heard the sound of hurried footsteps gradually approaching her bedroom.


    Without further ado, Jun Qiyan returned to her bed. Soon, someone pushed open the door and entered the room.


    The person who had entered was none other than the person who Jun Qiyan disliked the most, Su Qiong.


    "Patriarch, are you here personally? Is there something you need help with?"


    Jun Qiyan had already put on her mask. In the entire Su Clan, other than Su Wan Yi, no one else knew that she was a woman.


    However, the fact that Su Qijian had come to find him so early in the morning had caused Jun Qianyan to feel uneasy.


    After the past few days of interaction, Jun Qianyan believed that Su Qiong was the kind of person who would visit the Three Treasures Hall for no reason.


    "How forgetful of a noble person." Seeing the puzzled look on Jun Qianyan''s face, Su Qijian laughed, "Today is the Alchemy Competition''s award ceremony. You''re the one who took first place ¡­" "Why doesn''t he seem to be interested in it?"


    For some reason, Jun Qiyan''s intuition told her that Su Qijian''s implied meaning was, "Since you''re not interested, then why don''t you just give up on this first place position and give it to Su Anyun?"


    Jun Qiyan couldn''t help but snap out of her stupor and hurriedly replied, "The Patriarch''s teachings are correct. I, Mu Kui, will head there now!"


    After Jun Qiyan finished speaking, he jumped off the bed, not giving Su Qiong the time to reject him.


    However, if Su Qiong truly wanted to hand over the first place position to Su An Yun, then he was afraid that he wouldn''t be allowed to leave the Su Clan''s gate ¡­


    It''s just a title, there''s no need for Su Qiong to be so sinister, right?


    Jun Qiyan narrowed her eyes and cast a suspicious glance behind her. Just as she was about to see what kind of expression Su Qiong would have, she bumped into someone who was walking towards her ¡ª ¡ª


    "Brother Mu Du, why are you in such a hurry? Why aren''t you looking at the road?"


    The person who was bumped into by Jun Qiyan was none other than Su Wanyi. When she saw that Jun Qianyan was feeling uneasy, she took a glance at her room and immediately pretended to be angry when she saw that Su Qiong was also there. She asked, "Did father make things difficult for you again?"


    "No, the Patriarch just came to remind me that today is the day of the Alchemy Competition''s award ceremony."


    Jun Qiyan glanced at Su Wanyi. She was surprised.


    This Su Wanyi actually hadn''t used her Mind Reading or Mind Controlling Technique on him, which made it hard for Jun Qiyan to see what else she was looking for.


    "That''s a big matter!"


    Upon hearing that it was the Alchemy Competition''s award ceremony, Su Wan Yi''s eyes widened. She looked at Jun Qiyan in surprise, and as if she was even more anxious than Jun Qiyan herself, she urged, "Then what are you still doing here? Hurry and prepare the horses to go! So many people are waiting for you! "


    As Su Wanyi spoke, she pulled Jun Qiyan out of the room. She ignored Su Qiong''s darkening expression and continued to push her out of the Su Clan.


    "What nonsense!"


    Su Qiong could no longer hold his anger. With a livid expression, he glared at Su Wanyi and ordered, "Men, prepare the horses! "Tell Young Master Yin to hurry to the ceremony immediately!"


    Looking at Su Qijian, who wanted to flare up, but had no reason to do so, Jun Qianyan couldn''t help but find it funny.


    After all, if Su Qiong were to stop him from going to the ceremony and forbid him from going, it would inevitably cause someone else to speak ill of him. They would say that they were trapped by the Su Clan despite knowing Yin Moyu was in the Su Clan, so they could only hand over their first prize to Su An Yun.


    Even though Su Wanyi had helped him like this, she still didn''t know what kind of expression Su Qiong would have on her face when the secret of the Su Clan was revealed to the public.


    It was as if the Su Clan was escorting Jun Qianyin. Including Su Wanyi, who kept saying that she was "going to see the world", the Su Clan sent a total of fifteen people to "escort" Jun Qiyan out of the Su Clan.


    To be honest, such treatment was somewhat unsettling for Jun Qiyan. Rather than ''escorting'' her, Jun Qiyan preferred to believe that this was a weasel paying a new year visit to a chicken. She felt uneasy and kind.


    "Don''t worry. I''ll accompany you along the way. They won''t dare to do anything to you."


    With a face full of joy, Su Wan Yi walked at the front of the group beside Jun Qiyan. After she distanced herself from the ''escorts'', she giggled and said, "Don''t forget what you promised me, otherwise ¡­" I will definitely make it so that you won''t be able to bear the consequences! "


    He cast a sidelong glance at Su Wanyi, who had a fierce expression on her face. Jun Qianyan felt it was funny, and once again confirmed her thoughts.


    That''s right. If it weren''t for the fact that Su Wanyi was still so infatuated that she looked like a little lover, Jun Qianyan really felt that she had a split personality, which was why she behaved like she did last night.


    "It seems that you think that I can''t even take care of ten or so people who are not part of the main force."


    As Jun Qianyan spoke, she cast a glance behind her to confirm that the person in charge of the "escort" was not the strongest under Su Qiong''s command. Then, she replied with a smile, "Also, what do you want to do? Heart Control is so easy to use... I''m sure you won''t waste it. "


    "Oh? I dare to ask, when did Wan Yi ever use Heart Controlling Technique on Brother Mu Du? "


    Jun Qiyan''s words made Su Wanyi laugh. After two laughs, Su Wanyi looked at her disdainfully and replied with a slightly sarcastic tone, "The Heart Control Technique can only be used for a short period of time. It simply can''t protect the long-term benefits ¡­" A smart person like you, would you still not understand? "


    Jun Qiyan couldn''t help laughing.


    Su Wanyi had never thought that she would be able to calculate so much.


    The simpler one looked, the more dangerous it was.


    For example, Su Wanyi, this was a very good time bomb.


    They only spoke a few words, and there was no more conversation along the way.


    There was a group of people standing in front of the main doors of the awards ceremony. The most eye-catching thing on the awards platform before Jun Qiyan arrived was none other than Su Anyun.


    Although Su An Yun had lost to Jun Qianyan, he didn''t look like a loser at all. He was still proudly looking up, and from the moment he saw Jun Qianyan, he had been staring at her with a hidden bitterness in his eyes.


    However, when Su An Yun saw the person accompanying Jun Qiyan, his face suddenly turned pale.


    How could that girl be together with that brat?


    Furthermore, when she looked at the people behind Jun Qianyan, Su An Yun felt that they looked very familiar ¡­


    Wasn''t that the guard at home?


    Why would they come together with this kid?


    Could it be ¡­ Was this kid related to the Su Clan?


    Seeing Su An Yun looking at her with a surprised expression, Su Wan Yi narrowed her eyes and intimately held Jun Qiyan''s hand. She sized up Jun Wu Yao and Su An Yun at the same time. She smiled but didn''t say anything.


    "Yo, what''s the wind today?" You actually bragged about this Su Family''s second young miss who never goes out of his house? "


    Su Anyun was after all the eldest daughter of the Su Family. When faced with Su Wanyi, she was even more proud. As she stood with her hands behind her back, she stared at Su Wanyi.


    Although Su An Yun had a harmless smile on his face, those two dimples were especially obvious. His eyes naturally curved into a slit, and his eyeballs were invisible.


    But the words that came out of her mouth did not sound good: "Coming all the way from the Su Family, you must be tired, right? However, I can see that my sister''s expression isn''t bad. She doesn''t seem like someone who had travelled a long distance ¡­ I am afraid you must have received a lot of care from Young Master Yin. "


    "Elder sister''s Fiery Eyes of Truth is really sharp. I can''t hide anything from them."


    Su Wanyi looked like a obedient little bird as she obediently leaned on Jun Qiyan''s shoulder and said in a tender voice,


    "Elder sister hasn''t been home lately, so she naturally doesn''t know about the situation at home ¡­" Now that Big Brother Mu Kui is a member of the Su Family, it seems like father still wants Big Brother Mu Du to be my husband! "


    "What did you say?"


    Su Wanyi''s words stunned Su An Yun.


    Could it be that Yin Muda had become a member of the Su Family?


    Therefore, those people ¡­ Did Su Qiong send someone to escort him over?


    Su An Yun still couldn''t believe it. However, even Su Wan Yi, who usually never went out when he had nothing to do, was here. It was obvious that Su Qiong was being serious this time.


    "Really? Then I must congratulate my sister."


    Su An Yun gnashed his teeth in anger. His expression became extremely ugly, almost to the point of darkening.


    Whether it was the victory over her, Yin Moyu, or Su Wanyi, who was not even Su Wanyi''s father, for Su Anyun, their existence was a stain that she would never be able to erase in her life.


    However, these two had actually become a pair under the help of their father!


    How could she tolerate this!


    "It''s a good thing that Young Master Yin decided to join our Su Family willingly and marry my sister!"


    Su An Yun fiercely gritted his teeth as he furiously glared at Jun Yunrue and Su Wan Yi. He suddenly snorted coldly, "But my Su family''s daughter is an extremely expensive one, and the threshold to become a member of our Su family is also extraordinary ¡ª if you want to become a member of our family, then we''ll have to see if you have the ability to do so!"


    As Su An Yun spoke, he suddenly rushed towards Jun Qi.


    Jun Qiyan quickly pushed Su Wanyi, who was still snuggling to her side, away from Su An Yun''s attack.


    Jun Qiyan had wanted to say a few words to Su Yun, but he suddenly stopped, reached out his hand, and closed his chest. His eyes were fixed on Jun Qianyan as he muttered to himself.


    This kind of scene was very familiar to Jun Qiyan ¨C she was very clear that Su An Yun was being forced into a corner and was about to use a magic technique to deal with her.

 C166

    "Su An Yun, there are so many people watching here. What are you doing?"


    Su Wanyi could read Su Yun''s thoughts. Although she didn''t dare to charge in front of Jun Qiyan, she still dared to stand on the spot and shout at Su An Yun.


    No matter what, this was the location of the Alchemy Competition''s awards ceremony. If Su An Yun was about to make a move on Jun Qiyan, wouldn''t it be a joke?


    Besides, everyone present knew that Su An Yun had lost to Jun Qianyan ¨C therefore, Su An Yun''s current behavior could be said to be one of embarrassment and anger.


    "Shut up!"


    Su An Yun no longer had a good impression of Su Wan Yi. Seeing that Su Wan Yi was actually helping Jun Qianyi to humiliate him, his face turned even more unsightly. Without hesitation, he activated his magic and a thick golden rope appeared out of thin air, binding tightly onto Su Wan Yi.


    "Su An Yun, is this the Su Clan? We can''t allow you to mess around."


    Jun Qiyan shot a cold glance at Su An Yun. With a wave of her hand, she untied the rope for Su Wan Yi.


    Su Wan Yi secretly gritted her teeth. Seeing that Su An Yun was about to fight with Jun Feiyan again, she quickly lowered her mouth and shouted with a wronged expression, "Big sister is bullying me. I admit it, but as soon as Brother Mu Kui came to the Su Family, this is how big sister is going to target me ¡­ If word of this gets out, it might not be good for our Su Family''s reputation! "


    Su Wan Yi''s words allowed Jun Qiyan to completely understand what a white lotus was. This act of pretending to be wronged and Shuai Guo''s ability was truly amazing.


    "Su Wanyi!" Are you surnamed Su or Yin? "


    Su An Yun was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. With a calm face, he stared angrily at Su Wan Yi and scolded, "You kept saying that you want to think for the Su Family, and have stopped me many times! You see, it can''t be that after leaving the Su Clan, you forgot who you are and your identity, right? "


    The anger on Su An Yun''s face didn''t lessen in the slightest, but Su Wan Yi was not bad either. Hearing Su An Yun''s words, Su Wan Yi''s face also darkened. She gritted her teeth in anger and glared back, unwilling to be outdone.


    "Su Wan Yi, this is the venue for the awards ceremony, not the Su family estate."


    Jun Qianyan did not plan to join the battle between the two sisters, but seeing Su Wanyi''s unhappy look, she was afraid that she would control Su An Yun to do something bad. She could only remind Su An Yun, "Before you speak, think too much. Don''t embarrass the Su Family outside."


    "For all of you to be able to enter the Su Clan, you have already completely lost face for the Su Clan!"


    Su An Yun''s face was as dark as it could be. He slightly raised his chin with a disdainful look on his face as he looked at Su Wan Yi and Jun Qianyin, and coldly sneered back at them.


    Jun Qiyan, however, acted as if he hadn''t heard Su An''s words. He took a step forward.


    After all, today, the one they had to deal with was not just Su An Yun alone, but the entire Su Clan.


    That was also why Su Wan Yi came out with them.


    Firstly, it was to monitor him; secondly, it was to be able to control him and help him if necessary.


    However, no matter how Jun Qiyan thought about it, it didn''t feel worthwhile at all.


    He had actually taken the lead in toppling the Su Clan ¡­ What if the Su Clan had any aristocratic families that they were on good terms with, or if they had to make a comeback in the future, wouldn''t they start with him first?


    Thinking to this point, Jun Qiyan wrinkled her brow. A few more steps forward, however, was blocked by a red-hot figure.


    Jun Qiyan didn''t even need to think to know that Su Anyun was standing right in front of him.


    "Is Miss Su still busy?"


    Jun Qiyan raised her head and coldly asked as she looked fixedly at Su An Yun.


    Su An Yun didn''t answer but stared angrily at Jun Qianyan. He crossed his arms over his chest, and slightly raised his chin as he arrogantly snorted. It was obvious that he didn''t want to bother with Jun Qianyan, but he also didn''t want to give way for her.


    Jun Qiyan didn''t seem to have much patience left. Just as he was about to walk around Su An Yun, he suddenly heard the sound of thunder above his head.


    Jun Qiyan''s eyes darkened. She quickly took a few steps back, and every spot where she had been standing a moment ago had been struck by the lightning that fell from the sky.


    This is... Five Lightning Formation!


    When Jun Qiyan regained her balance, she looked at Su An Yun with a bit of surprise.


    She originally thought that Su An Yun was just peacefully concocting pills, but who knew that he had hidden a trick up his sleeve!


    Could it be that the head of the Su Clan was divided into the main business and side business?


    "You think you can dodge it?"


    Su An Yun looked at Jun Qianyan''s retreating figure and could not help but sneer. He snorted in disdain, "Daddy let you leave the Su Family''s estate today, but I didn''t say I wanted you to go to the stage safely!"


    As Su An Yun spoke, he sent out a few more lightning bolts.


    However, to Su Anyun''s surprise, Jun Qiyan''s dodging speed was extremely fast, and more than a dozen lightning bolts landed in a row. Not only did they not hit Jun Qiyan, but they did not even touch the corner of her robe.


    This kind of speed was something that even martial artists might not be able to achieve, but this person ¡­


    Seeing the surprised and doubtful expression on Su An Yun''s face, Jun Qiyan couldn''t help but slightly raise the corner of her lips.


    He was, after all, a disciple of the Grandmaster Qing Yun, and he had also trained under the Saint Silkworm Yuan Zun before, so his cultivation had already increased by a lot. Now, with her ability, she was almost superior to everyone present, not to mention Su Anyun, who was mainly concocting pills.


    He easily dodged dozens of powerful Star Bombs. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Su An Yun had been the center of all those Star Bombs. Five steps away from him, dozens of explosions rang out, creating dozens of black holes.


    "Is that all the famous Five Thunder Formation is worth?"


    With one hand on the other side of her waist, Jun Qianyan tilted his head slightly as he looked at Su An Yun with a smile that was not a smile.


    One could not even compare to Jun Qiyan when refining pills and magic techniques. At this time, Su An Yun''s state of mind was about to collapse!


    But right now, there are many people watching, so Su An Yun could only suppress his disbelief and shock. He pretended to be calm as he snorted, "Don''t be too arrogant ¡­. Just now was just a test to test your strength! "


    Jun Qiyan didn''t say anything, but raised his eyebrows and shook his head with a helpless smile.


    "What do you mean?"


    Jun Qiyan immediately revealed a brilliant smile on his handsome face and gave her a provocative look. Su An Yun immediately exploded: "Yin Moyu, how dare you! You... You actually dare to look down on me? "


    "Huh?"


    Jun Qiyan was a bit confused, and couldn''t hold it in any longer, as he laughed out loud.


    In his impression, there was also an arrogant girl blocking his path. She had also said something like, "How dare you look down on me ¡­"


    Who was it?

 C167

    Jun Qiyan rubbed her chin as if she was trying hard to remember. Then, she suddenly slapped her forehead and shouted, "Yes, it''s her!"


    Li Shu Ran!


    Thinking back to their first meeting, Li Shu Ran had also told him the same thing. It was just that at that time, he had disdained paying attention to this extremely grumpy young miss of an aristocratic family.


    When he thought about how Li Shu Ran had also angered him like this back then, the current Su An Yun felt like he was following Li Shu Ran''s back no matter how he looked at him ¡­


    Even now, Jun Qiyan didn''t like the temperamental young mistresses of these aristocratic families.


    It didn''t matter if it was Li Shuran or Su An or even Su Wanyi.


    "Who?" Su An Yun looked at Jun Qianyan''s actions, and was slightly startled. He frowned, and snorted in confusion and disdain, "You''re afraid that you won''t be afraid just because of this?"


    "I really can''t find the word ''afraid'' in my dictionary."


    Now that he thought about it, the dignified Li family''s young miss Li Shu Ran was nothing more than that, not to mention the person in front of him was Su An Yun. She was the Su family''s most talented pill refining young miss, how could she compare with Li Shu Ran''s level?


    Jun Qiyan faintly smiled. In any case, Su Yun was not completely unreasonable like Li Shuran. At the very least, Su An Yun had some brains. Otherwise, he would not have lost to him a treasure like the snake bone whip.


    Right now, trying out the new moves and techniques from her seemed to be a good choice.


    Not giving Jun Qiyan time to think any further, Su An Yun quickly crossed his arms in front of his chest and made a few quick hand gestures with his slender fingers. Soon, the willow branches on both sides of the hall began to sway.


    It was as if a sudden gust of wind had blown over them, causing the branches to rustle non-stop, and the direction of the swaying was very clear. They were all brandishing their branches in the direction of Jun Qiyan.


    "Really?" "They just finished quarreling, and now they''re making a move?"


    Some of the spectators did not understand what was going on, but seeing what was going on, they all revealed looks of surprise on their faces.


    "Weren''t you fine just now? Why are they fighting again? "


    "Didn''t they say that the young miss of the Su Clan is unconvinced by her loss? In my opinion, she''s just angry from embarrassment. She''s going to have a showdown with Yin Muju again! "


    "Didn''t they say that Yin Muda had already joined the Su Clan? But this Su An Yun still refused to let her go and targeted her everywhere. Isn''t he being too petty?"


    The crowd''s words reached Su Wan Yi''s ears. When no one noticed, she smiled slightly.


    Very good.


    What she wanted was precisely this kind of result!


    But this... It was not even the real beginning!


    Su An Yun''s hand gesture changed again and again. Those eager branches whistled as they flew towards Jun Qi from all directions.


    Jun Qiyan lightly tapped the ground with the tip of her foot, and her body became as light as a swallow as she spun in the air, quickly waving her dexterous hands, slashing off the branches that had been wrapped around her. The rest of the branches were crisscrossed, allowing them to tightly entangle with each other.


    Seeing that the branch did not threaten Jun Qiyan at all, Su Anyun felt even more uneasy, and sweat began to form on her forehead.


    If this continued, things would not end well!


    Su An Yun narrowed his eyes and quickly changed his hand signals. The entwined branches immediately loosened their grip and began to wildly flail about in the air, like whips, whipping the air. However, they were still unable to lash out at Jun Yunyan; in fact, they couldn''t even get close to his body!


    Seeing Jun Qianyan dodge without retaliating at all, Su An Yun was already in a passive state. Su Wan Yi narrowed her eyes and swept her gaze over Su An Yun.


    It seemed that he wouldn''t be able to start a fire without adding fuel to the fire.


    "Don''t be like a turtle who has its head tucked in. You only care about hiding. If you really have the ability, then go and take a look!"


    Seeing that Jun Qiyan was once again easily dodging the brandishing branches, Su Wan Yi secretly gritted her teeth. Her eyes suddenly dimmed, but very soon, they lit up again as she coldly laughed, "If you have the ability, then break my array. Otherwise, even if you win, you''re still a cowardly turtle!"


    Jun Qiyan was at a loss at Su An Yun''s words. She found them funny, but when she glanced at Su Wan Yi, she understood.


    Looking at Su Anyun''s expression, there was a high chance that she was being controlled by Su Wanyi.


    With regards to Su Wan Yi''s actions, Jun Qiyan didn''t support them nor did she oppose them. However, she couldn''t help but feel disgusted with Su Wan Yi''s actions.


    Jun Qiyan frowned, and took a step on a branch that was reaching out to her. She took advantage of the momentum of the branch she was holding to propel her lithe body towards Su An Yun before the other branches could reach her.


    Su An Yun acted as if he hadn''t seen Jun Mo Xie''s reaction, and continued to control the willow branch with his hand, and continued to pull it towards Jun Wu Yi.


    Indeed!


    Jun Qiyan''s pupils constricted. She stretched out her hand and the branches around her seemed like they were made of paper. Crack! Crack! Crack! A large area of broken branches and leaves fell from the tree.


    Taking advantage of the time when Su An Yun had yet to take any further action, Jun Qianyan openly turned her head to look at Su Wanyi. Her expression was solemn, and there was a trace of disgust in her eyes, as well as a warning.


    Su Wanyi was stunned for a moment and then immediately understood what was going on. She could only stop Su An Yun''s control and secretly grit her teeth.


    Su An Yun was at a loss as he looked at the lost willow branch. However, when he saw that Jun Qianyan was looking at Su Wan Yi lovingly, a fire started burning in his heart.


    Su Anghong clenched his teeth and hastily activated his Star Spell. He summoned a hurricane and swept up the fallen branches and leaves into the air. Then, the storm converged into the shape of an arrow, chasing Jun Yunyan''s back!


    Jun Qiyan looked back and quickly dodged to the side.


    Su Wanyi was also shocked by Su Yun''s sudden counterattack. However, when she looked carefully, she could not help but heave a sigh of relief.


    Although Jun Qiyan had been hiding, the place she had been hiding was right next to Su An Yun.


    In other words, the sharp arrow that Su An Yun had shot could injure her at any moment!


    Su An Yun naturally knew about the truth that even Su Wanyi, a mere bystander, could see. However, no matter how much she changed, she couldn''t catch Jun Qianyan who was hiding everywhere.


    More importantly, not only was Jun Qiyan''s dodging speed fast, her stamina was also very good!


    It had obviously been dragged out for such a long time, but Jun Qiyan didn''t seem to be tired at all. His dodging speed was extremely fast, and he even had the chance to counterattack occasionally ¡­


    Heavens, what kind of person was this!?


    How did I end up becoming the enemy of this monster?


    Seeing that Su An Yun was at a disadvantage again, Su Wan Yi took advantage of Jun Qianyan''s inattention to focus her gaze on Su An Yun once more.


    Su An Yun''s crossed hands suddenly opened wide, and the huge green arrow also split into two, with the soldiers split into two, as they tried to encircle Jun Qiyan.


    Jun Qiyan was stunned for a moment. She knew that she couldn''t circle around Su An Yun this time, so she took a few steps back to the edge of the arena. Her eyes were fixated on the direction of the two arrows.


    The two arrows under Su An Yun''s control sped down, and just as they were about to fly towards Jun Qiyan, she caught up to the opportunity and jumped straight up, easily avoiding the two arrows.


    He watched as the two arrows collided and sent the leaves flying in the opposite direction.


    Jun Qiyan could not help but heave a sigh of relief at the end of the fight. However, in the next second, she sucked in a breath of cold air ¡ª


    The leaves that hadn''t landed on the ground were still unsettled. They couldn''t hurt Jun Qiyan, but now they were all rushing towards Su Wan Yi!


    Jun Qiyan was shocked. She hurriedly summoned a hurricane to disperse the leaves. However, there were still quite a number of leaves that did not dissipate in time. She rushed to Su Wanyi''s side, and very soon, Su Wanyi''s body was covered in colors.


    Almost at the same moment when Jun Qiyan turned around, Su Wan Yi stopped her control over Su An Yun.


    Su Wan Yi didn''t dodge until waves of pain came from her arms and legs. She then raised her head and looked at Su An Yun with a wronged expression. She didn''t dare to say anything, afraid that if she angered Su An Yun again, the consequences would be even worse.


    "Su An Yun, are you crazy?"


    Seeing that Su Wanyi was wearing a coat of arms, Jun Qianyin didn''t think too much about it. She didn''t even have the time to react before she shouted at Su Anyun, "If you have anything, just come at me. What kind of ability is this to bully Su Wanyi?"


    Su An Yun returned to his senses and stared at Jun Qianyin. To be honest, she had been in a daze for a while, but now that she had recovered, she saw that Su Wan Yi had died while Jun Qianyin was shouting at her.


    It went without saying that Su Wanyi had been injured by him.


    However, she couldn''t hurt Jun Qiyan. To be able to hurt Su Wanyi, she had already done the right thing!


    "Don''t make it sound like you have a lot of skill, okay?"


    Su An Yun thought like this and felt that he hadn''t done anything wrong, so he agreed without thinking. He smiled and said: "If you''re really that capable, then why did you marry into my Su family!"


    When Jun Qiyan heard this, he couldn''t help but grit his teeth and scrunch his eyebrows, as if he was holding back something.


    Su Wan Yi also lowered her head to look at her wounds before raising her head to look at Su An Yun, who was standing on the stage with incomparable elegance. She secretly gritted her teeth as her half-closed eyes covered the iciness that flashed past.


    Very good, this fish has already been hooked. Now it''s time to reel in the line!


    Seeing that Jun Qiyan was completely unaware of the fact that she was using this trick, Su Wan Yi''s eyes darkened and her expression became even more aggrieved.


    When Jun Qiyan reached her side, Su Wan Yi lightly tugged at the corner of her clothes and pleaded in a low voice, "Brother Mu Du, Wan Yi was beaten so hard that it hurt ¡­" Brother Mu Kui, why don''t you treat Wan Yi? "


    Su Wanyi''s words seemed to be heard intentionally by others, and no small number of people had heard them. Other than astonishment, there was also a look of disgust towards Su Anyun.


    The members of the Su Family who were sent to ''escort'' Jun Qianyin also heard the news. Although Su Wanyi''s background was not as good as Su An''s, she was still a young lady. They turned around and ran to the horses to relieve themselves of the burden they had brought.


    But it didn''t matter. Just a glance was enough to scare those people silly. Their hands unconsciously loosened up. The sound of glass being shattered could be heard, followed by several screams of extreme terror ¡ª


    "This... What is this thing!? "

 C168

    The surrounding people were also attracted by the scream. They all gathered forward, but when they lowered their heads to look, they were all stunned ¡­


    A few broken glass bottles were left on the floor, and the liquid inside them was splattering all over the floor.


    However, this was not the most frightening aspect of it.


    Not to mention the pieces of glass on the floor and Malfurion, everyone''s attention was focused on the clumps of white and red stuff. On closer inspection, there were organs such as intestines, heart, and stomach.


    "This... How can there be such a disgusting thing! "


    It was unknown who shouted first, but immediately after, the smell of formalin assaulted their noses and made them feel nauseous. They quickly covered their mouths and ran to the side, supporting themselves against the wall with one hand as they bent over to retch.


    "Aren''t these people from the Su Clan?"


    It was unknown who reacted first, but when he looked at the bewildered and terrified guards, the expression on his face suddenly changed to one of anger and contempt, and he was the first to point the spearhead at them. "Why do you carry so many disgusting things with you? Quick, tell me, does your Su Family have some shady business! "


    As soon as this man spoke, everyone responded:


    "Exactly! In the past, the Su Family was always secretive and did not allow others to visit them easily.


    "Where did all these organs come from!?" How many lives would that take? So it turns out that the Su Clan, which is famous for being an alchemist, is actually a clan that kills people like hemp! "


    "To think that the Su Family was the number one family in this land. It seems like they were piled up using flesh and blood!" This is truly despicable! "


    More and more curses were being shouted out. Jun Qiyan looked around, trying her best to hold in the tempo of the crowd. As she secretly glanced at Su Wanyi''s expression, she suddenly understood what was going on.


    "What are you talking about? Why did the Su Clan provoke you?"


    Hearing the people below scolding the Su Clan one by one, Su An Yun''s heart was naturally not filled with a good feeling. In addition to being angry, he was even more puzzled.


    Therefore, Su An Yun no longer bothered with Jun Qi Yun anymore. He turned around and rushed into the crowd while shouting, "Pay attention to what you are saying!" Is the Su Family something that you can scold? "


    Su Anyun cursed as she pushed her way through the crowd. However, when she saw what had been shattered on the ground, she was suddenly frightened. She blurted out, "What is that thing?"


    "What is this? Can''t Miss Su tell?"


    The person standing beside Su An Yun glanced at him with disdain. He thought she was pretending not to know and bluntly replied, "How did you get all this stuff? I''m afraid Miss Su is very clear about it, right?"


    "Nonsense!"


    Su An Yun became anxious and glared angrily at the man. He turned around, grabbed the guard''s collar and asked, "What are you all carrying? Is it because the Su Clan doesn''t treat you well? Ah? You actually want to frame the Su Family like this! "


    "Eldest Miss, you are in the wrong!" I... "The little ones don''t know where this stuff came from!"


    The guard looked at Su An Yun with a helpless expression. Facing the accusations of so many people, as well as the questioning of his family''s eldest daughter, he was on the verge of collapse.


    "Wasn''t the second young miss injured just now? This lowly one was thinking about the medicine in the bag and gave the second young miss a bit to stop the pain, but who would have thought ¡­" This little one really doesn''t know what these are! "I don''t even know where these things came from!"


    The guard was forced into a corner. As he finished his sentence, he heard the surrounding people start to criticize him again.


    "What else could this be?" It''s clearly just the internal organs of the spirit beasts. What''s so good about it, hurry up and scatter! "


    Su Anyun fiercely gritted her teeth. Due to the pressure from the surroundings and the confession of her own bodyguard, she could only forcefully deny it to the point where she had to admit it. Her eyes continued to sweep through the crowd, as if she wanted to record the appearances of those people who had cursed the most, so that she could have her revenge in the future.


    She had indeed seen these internal organs before in the Su Clan''s inner pill refining room, but Elder Su and Su Qiong had clearly told her that they had been dug out from a newly obtained spirit beast store. Thus, even within the Su Clan, she did not see these frightening things very often.


    "The internal organs of demon spirit beasts?" Miss Su, who are you fooling!? "


    The moment Su An''s voice fell, someone immediately stood out and slapped her in the face. His voice suppressed the crowd''s discussion, "Do you think so many of us are blind? The size of each of these internal organs, Miss Su, do you know which one looks like a spirit beast? "


    "What do you mean?"


    Su An Yun became angry as well. With a glare of his eyes, he sneered and said, "It''s not the internal organs of a demon spirit beast. Don''t tell me it''s a human''s?"


    "All the big guys are here watching. It''s really not Miss Su''s place to talk about whether they''re human or not."


    Seeing that Su An Yun had returned the favor, the man didn''t panic. Instead, he laughed complacently, as if he was celebrating the fact that Su An Yun had jumped into the trap.


    Just as that person finished speaking, another person came forward and echoed, "If Miss Su were to say that this is the internal organs of a spirit beast, I wouldn''t believe it either. It just doesn''t seem right!"


    "Or perhaps Miss Su wants to say that this is an internal organ of the forest ape?"


    That person acted as if he was against Su An Yun, and quickly replied, "But that''s not right! The closest habitat of the forest apes is 100 kilometers away from us... Could it be that your Su Clan intentionally ran so far away in order to obtain these things? "


    "Shut up! All of you, shut up! "


    Su An Yun could no longer bear to listen. He raised his hand and pointed at the person who provoked him the most, and asked: "And who are you? Where did you come from? What qualifications do you have to criticize my Su Clan? Speak! "Where did you get the order from?!"


    "He''s just a private pill refiner of the Zhu Clan. I really don''t know if he has the qualifications to do so."


    A familiar voice suddenly cut in, faintly mocking, "But that''s true. In front of the Su Clan, which is ranked first, my Zhu Clan does not have the qualifications to criticize the Su Clan ¡­ "Not to mention, he''s just a small alchemist in our Zhu Clan."


    It was only a few words before Jun Qiyan recognized the voice.


    Zhu Clan, Zhu Cheng!


    It was obvious that Su Wanyi had also heard about it. She quickly glanced at Jun Qianyan, and after the two of them looked at each other, a trace of interest flashed across both of their eyes.


    Very good ¡ª they actually bumped into the Zhu Family!


    Time was of the essence, and even the Heavens were probably going to destroy the Su Clan.

 C169

    "You ¡­"


    Su An Yun was like an exploding cat. Anyone who said anything would feel as if they stepped on her tail and receive a fierce counterattack.


    But when she saw the person that slowly stood out from the crowd, she was slightly stunned and immediately understood. She sneered and said, "I thought it was the Zhu Clan''s Eldest Young Master who didn''t know the rules!"


    "Indeed, compared to the Su Clan''s excellent education, most of the people from my Zhu Clan don''t understand the rules."


    From start to finish, Zhu Cheng had a smile plastered on his face. Although he looked rather polite, it wasn''t hard to see that he was being ridiculed.


    Seeing this, Jun Qiyan couldn''t help but be startled.


    It was said that Zhu Cheng and He Yuxuan were both extremely lustful and lustful, but now that Su An Yun was here, why did he no longer have the slightest bit of lustful and lustful look from that day in Hongfu Mansion?


    However, this was in front of the public. Although Su An Yun was beautiful, he was also his enemy, so why didn''t he reveal it?


    Thinking of this, Jun Qiyan pulled Su Wanyi behind her, afraid that she would accidentally be recognized by Zhu Cheng if she was too close to him.


    However, Su Wanyi didn''t think the same way.


    When he saw Zhu Cheng walk out from behind the crowd, he was already thinking that since the Zhu Family had arrived, the He Family shouldn''t be too far away. Thus, after looking around, he actually saw He Yuxuan waiting on the other side for an opportunity to speak.


    "The He Clan''s people are over there."


    Seeing that Jun Qiyan was still staring at Su An Yun and Zhu Cheng''s actions, Su Wan Yi couldn''t help but lightly tug on the corner of his shirt. She reminded him in a low voice, "Do you remember what I said?"


    What did she say?


    Hearing Su Wan Yi''s sudden question, Jun Qiyan was stunned. She couldn''t help but turn her head to look at the He family members who were quietly observing the situation. She couldn''t help but furrow her brows.


    "You''re already at this point, yet you still want to join hands with the He and Zhu Clans?"


    Jun Qiyan retracted her gaze. Looking at Su Wanyi''s excited expression, she could not help but pour cold water on her. "We did not express our opinion on that day. Now that something has happened to the Su Clan, we will leave the Su Clan behind. It is inevitable that people will gossip about us."


    "But with just the two of us, how could we completely overthrow the Su Clan?"


    Seeing that Jun Qiyan did not agree with her opinion, Su Wan Yi immediately let go of her hold on Jun Qianyan''s hand. She also frowned and looked at her with dissatisfaction, saying, "The time is right. If we cannot grasp this opportunity, when we return to the Su Family, will we still be able to live?"


    What Su Wanyi said immediately touched Jun Qiyan''s heart.


    It wasn''t because she was being reasonable, but because Jun Feiyan had finally seen Su Wanyi''s true appearance.


    Yet another person who would do anything to achieve his own goals ¡­


    It seemed that Su Wan Yi wasn''t any different from Su An Yun, Li Shu Ran, and the rest.


    If there was one, it was probably due to the earlier stage. Su Wanyi had disguised herself very well.


    Seeing that Su Wan Yi had let go of his hand first, Jun Qianyin also did not try to stop her. She knew in her heart that their relationship might end here.


    After all, the current Su Wanyi wasn''t only making things difficult for Jun Qiyan.


    Even the interest he had in Su Wanyi had disappeared in an instant.


    That''s right, as far as the Su Clan was concerned, what good person could they bring out?


    Thinking of this, Jun Qiyan didn''t say anything more.


    Su Wanyi then turned around and walked towards He Yuxuan, as if she thought Jun Qiyan had tacitly agreed.


    Jun Qiyan glanced at Su Wanyi out of the corner of his eyes. After seeing her leave, he moved to Su Anyun''s side to see what she had hidden in her bag.


    "Young Master Yin is here!"


    As Jun Qiyan approached, someone shouted from the crowd, "Since Young Master Yin has won the Alchemist Competition, his eyesight should be good. Why don''t you let Young Master Yin come and take a look?"


    "Bullshit!" Didn''t you hear what they just said? Young Master Yin has already joined the Su Family! "


    Another person glanced at Jun Qianyan, took a deep breath, and said angrily, "I say, of course we should find a fair person to preside over this matter! Furthermore, this is no small matter, we must invite the City Lord! "


    "The Alchemist Competition is not a small matter. Is there a need to invite the City Lord?"


    Jun Qiyan expressionlessly glanced at the man and lightly said, "The mayor is probably sitting at the guest stand right now. If something like this were to happen, the mayor might already be on his way here."


    "Young Master Yin is indeed a smart man."


    As soon as Jun Qianyan finished speaking, the people beside him all moved out of the way. As they turned to look, they saw a burly middle-aged man being escorted to the front.


    This aura, this posture, if one were to say that it wasn''t the mayor, no one would believe it.


    Without hesitation, Jun Qiyan bent her body slightly, opened her mouth and called out, "City Lord."


    Su An Yun also noticed that the atmosphere was a bit off and quickly turned around. Seeing that the City Lord had arrived, his mouth dropped and he shouted, "City Lord, you''ve come at just the right time! These people are maliciously framing my Su Family. City Lord must thoroughly investigate this matter and punish them severely! "


    Just as Su An Yun finished speaking, the crowd burst into laughter once again.


    "What''s so funny!"


    Su Anyun put down the hand she was pointing at the guards. While glaring at those people, she angrily shouted, "Did I say something wrong?"


    "I''m not wrong, but I don''t know if Miss Su has ever heard of the phrase ''catch the thief''?"


    The Zhu Clan''s alchemist looked at Su Anyun arrogantly while trying to hold back her laughter. Her eyes were full of provocation.


    "What are you guys arguing about!?" "Be quiet!"


    The old voice suddenly interrupted. Everyone looked towards the source of the voice and many people who were afraid of getting into trouble obediently shut their mouths.


    Jun Qianyan also looked over. When she saw that it was Elder Su, she tactfully shut her mouth and did not speak again.


    Very good. The Su Clan, He Clan, and Zhu Clan are all here. A fierce battle is unavoidable.


    "Grandfather!"


    Seeing that it was Elder Su who came, Su An Yun immediately jumped over, holding Elder Su''s hand as he pointed at the guards and said angrily: "Grandfather, these traitors have appeared in our family. They dare to frame our family, we cannot let them go so easily!"


    He only knew that there was a group of people gathered here making a ruckus, and now that he heard Su An Yun speak, his face sank. He stared at his own guards and said: "I''ll go take a look at what is inside, then I''ll come back and take care of all of you!"


    Elder Su said as he walked past Jun Qiyan.


    Jun Qiyan didn''t dodge. He stood straight, looking straight ahead, neither servile nor overbearing.


    Elder Su angrily glared at Jun Qianyan as he walked past both Jun Qianyan and the Mayor. He arrived at the very front of the crowd and looked down at the ground. His face immediately turned pale with fright ¡ª


    How could these things, which should have been shameful in the basement, appear here?

 C170

    Jun Qiyan saw that Elder Su''s expression was strange, he was about to say something, but then he heard Zhu Cheng speak first: "Isn''t this Elder Su? "What''s wrong with your face? I''m afraid it''s not out of guilt, are you scared?"


    "Stop talking nonsense!"


    Su An Yun couldn''t tell that his Su Clan had received any bad influence. He clenched his teeth and retorted, "Grandfather has never seen such a disgusting thing. I was just scared!"


    Su An Yun''s words instantly startled Elder Su. Although Elder Su''s face had not completely recovered, he had already subconsciously nodded his head and replied: An Yun is right, these things ¡­ "Where did they all come from?"


    As Elder Su said that, he glared viciously at the guards, scaring them so much that they shuddered at the same time.


    Now that the Su Clan has caused such a ruckus in front of a large crowd, one of the guards could no longer hold it in, the only path left for him was death. Once he returned to the Su Clan, he would be dealt with, so he decided to just go out and muster up his courage to yell: "Elder Su, where did these things come from?"


    The sudden change in position of the guards caused an uproar among the people present. Only Jun Qiyan found it strange.


    How come Su An Yun didn''t want him to come out when he was talking, so he had to wait until the Mayor and Elder Su arrived before he could suddenly change sides?


    It was as though he had already planned something. Only by exposing his true intentions in front of those with greater authority would he be able to convince others.


    Wasn''t this the same as Su Wanyi''s'' fatal blow ''?


    Thinking of this, Jun Qiyan couldn''t help but turn her head to look at Su Wanyi, only to see a trace of astonishment in her eyes, but there was more of a smile on her face.


    It seemed that although that person wasn''t controlled by Su Wanyi, he was also bribed by Su Wanyi.


    Now that the bird in the lead was not him, what was his use to her?


    Jun Qiyan frowned. At first, she didn''t understand what Su Wanyi was thinking. However, she was certain that Su Wanyi wouldn''t harm her for now.


    "Nonsense!"


    Elder Su''s angry shout interrupted Jun Qianyan''s train of thoughts. Before she could even raise her head to look, she heard the guards begin to counterattack, "Do you think we''re really stupid? We brothers know exactly what Zhiyuan and Zhixing do every day. "


    "Exactly! You can fool outsiders, but not your own family! "


    Seeing that the situation is getting out of hand, the guards steeled their hearts to rebel against the Su Family, saying one after the other, "The Su Family was originally harsh to us, but now that something has happened, they want to push us into a pit of fire! I tell you ¡ª it''s not that easy! Since you are so heartless, don''t blame us brothers for being unjust! "


    Before he could even react, Su Wan Yi had already appeared in front of him. She turned to the guards and asked, "You have no proof, what qualifications do you have to talk about the Su Family?"


    "No proof?"


    The guard who was the first to speak looked at Su Wanyi and smiled. He slowly walked to Su Wanyi and fixed his gaze on her as he asked, "Then why don''t you let Miss Su tell us what you saw in the basement?"


    "What basement?" Su Wan Yi was slightly surprised. She pretended like she didn''t know anything and retorted, "I don''t know what you''re talking about! Don''t drag me down too! "


    With just a few words, he managed to clear his suspicion of betraying the Su Clan.


    Jun Qiyan coldly stared at Su Wanyi as she pretended to be innocent. As the emissary behind the grave, she looked so innocent in front of others. She had to admit that Su Wanyi''s acting skills were indeed outstanding.


    However, it was true that the Su family had so many foxes. If Su Wan Yi''s acting skills were not good enough, how could she have survived until today to personally witness the Su family''s matters being exposed?


    "What basement?"


    The guard''s words couldn''t help but cause Su Wan Yi to be ''stunned''. Even Su An Yun was startled and asked in puzzlement, "There''s a basement in the main hall? How come I didn''t know? "


    After Su Anyun finished speaking, her gaze suddenly shifted to Su Wanyi. She looked at her with a measuring gaze, shook her head and shouted, "No ¡­. I don''t believe it! Grandfather and Father, why would you hide something from me? I would rather let a despicable person like you know about it than to let me know! "


    "I... "I don''t know either!"


    Su Wan Yi pretended to be panicking, but a crafty look in her eyes betrayed her. She turned her head and shouted at the guards, "Stop spitting blood! "Since you guys are so confident, why don''t you take out the evidence?"


    "Is there not enough evidence?"


    He pointed at the disgusting things on the ground, then turned to the City Lord and said: "If this is not enough proof, then I will have to trouble the City Lord to come with us to see what is in the Su Family''s basement!"


    "Stop spouting nonsense and bewitching us!"


    Elder Su was so angry that he puffed his beard while glaring at them. He rolled his eyes and said angrily: "I understand now ¡­. All of you are here to harm the mayor after bringing him away, and to let the Su family shoulder the blame for all of you! You... Such a vicious heart! "


    When Elder Su finished speaking, his eyes became vicious. He secretly activated his technique, as if he wanted to take care of those few people on the spot.


    Seeing through Elder Su''s intention, Jun Qiyan narrowed her eyes and quickly moved in front of the guards to cast the same spell, preparing to receive Elder Su''s fatal blow at any time.


    "Grandfather, what are you doing?"


    As Jun Qianyan was fully focused on defending Elder Su, he was suddenly startled by Su Wan Yi''s scream. He raised his head and saw that Su Wan Yi had already rushed to the front of the guards and spread her arms to protect them.


    "Grandfather, before this matter is investigated thoroughly, how can you attack them?"


    Su Wan Yi angrily looked at Elder Su. She no longer had her usual cowardly look as she confidently shouted, "By doing this, you will only make people feel that our Su Family has been annihilated to hide our secret! Why don''t you wait for them to come to our house, and after you see that they have returned us our innocence, then go and deal with them? "


    "You ¡­"


    Elder Su''s eyes were wide open as she glared at Su Wanyi, her body trembling in anger.


    Did this girl know what she was talking about!?


    He didn''t know if he should call her stupid or smart ¡­ Who the hell was she helping?


    "Grandpa, what Wan Yi said makes sense."


    Elder Su was enraged by Su Wanyi''s words. He didn''t expect that Su An Yun would actually help Su Wanyi for the first time in her life!


    "Why would we do such a thing when we''re all innocent?"


    Su Anyun also walked over to stop Elder Su. She was afraid that he was forced to do something bad, so she said to him solemnly, "We might as well let them investigate, otherwise they will think that we''re guilty!"


    Elder Su was angered to the point of not being able to catch his breath in that instant, and he rolled his eyes repeatedly, unable to speak.


    This was truly a sin!


    How could he have two lousy teammates!


    It was one thing, but why did his most precious and brightest granddaughter, Su Anyun, become stupid along with him?


    "Check it, check it. Since you said there''s evidence, then go and check it!"


    Elder Su was so angry that he was about to go mad. He raised his head and sighed, and when he saw that the situation had reached a point where he was unable to reverse the situation, he could only accept his fate.


    If he had known this earlier, he would have told Su An Yun earlier. There was no need for him to act like this now. At least someone else would have helped to cover things up.


    It was too late to say anything now ¡­


    Seeing that the mayor had brought his men to investigate the situation in the Su Clan, Elder Su could only sigh heavily. Her gaze inadvertently landed on Su Wanyi and he noticed the corner of her lips curled up into a smile.


    What was going on?


    Elder Su was stunned. He thought he had seen wrongly. He quickly blinked his eyes, but when he saw that the corner of Su Wanyi''s mouth didn''t show any signs of dropping, he couldn''t help but be stunned.


    Could it be ¡­ Did this girl already know?


    That was why he said such a thing. Was it to provoke everyone into going to the Su Clan?


    But that shouldn''t be the case!


    Elder Su could not believe that the Su Family had been tricked by a mere illegitimate daughter. He could not help but frown.


    That''s right, that little girl grew up by her mother''s side. Could it be that she also learned how to read people''s hearts and control the thoughts in her head?


    Thinking of this, Elder Su frowned even more. Looking at Su Wanyi''s appearance, he was sure that her scheme had worked out.


    It seems like this time, things are going to be a bit difficult ¡­


    They would rather kill by mistake than let go of a single one.


    Not to mention Su Wanyi was just an illegitimate daughter who couldn''t live up to her name. Even if she died, it wouldn''t matter to her at all.


    Elder Su suddenly smiled and turned to look at the guards behind him.


    The guard immediately understood, he walked over to Elder Su and moved his upper body over, he focused on listening to Elder Su''s orders, and nodded his head a few times.


    All of Elder Su''s actions were clearly seen by Jun Qiyan, who was standing to the side.


    It seemed like Su Wanyi was in trouble this time ¡­


    Now, if she wanted to live, it would depend on whether she could hold onto the He Clan''s leg.

 C171

    Jun Qiyan turned to the side to avoid it. The fireball whizzed past her body and struck the wall, instantly burning it black.


    "A thief still has such a big temper?"


    Jun Qiyan glanced at the burn marks and couldn''t help but laugh, "What are these things that you''re all holding in your hands? However ¡­ You only got it with the consent of the Patriarch? "


    As Jun Qianyan spoke, he carefully sized up the bags in the hands of those people. He could roughly guess who they were.


    If he wasn''t mistaken, those people should be holding glass bottles that contain all kinds of disgusting things.


    What Jun Qiyan did not understand was what they were going to do with all these things.


    Could it be ¡­ Just like that, he had received the news that the stolen goods were being moved?


    "What do we do have to do with you?"


    Another man snorted and raised his right hand, which had been clenched into a fist, and opened his palm. A ball of fire appeared a few centimeters above his palm, and with a wave of his left hand, the ball of fire turned into more than ten balls.


    Jun Qiyan narrowed her eyes. She vaguely felt that this move was very familiar, but her escape was also important, so she didn''t have much patience to waste time with them. She waved her right hand and summoned a breeze, instantly blowing away the ten balls of fire.


    Those people were stunned at the same time ¡­


    To be able to deal with this move so easily, he must at least be at the Foundation Establishment stage. If this was really the case, then if it wasn''t for the advantage of having many people, it would be difficult to deal with him.


    With regards to his performance, Jun Qiyan did not care much. After all, he had already reached the Foundation Establishment stage, and even though he had been openly fighting with the Su Clan, he had trained a lot behind the scenes. Even if he had not reached the Innate Realm, he was already close to the Innate Realm.


    The man secretly gritted his teeth as he put away the incredulous expression on his face. Then, he waved his hands and saw that the ten balls of fire had flown back to him and were now flying straight towards Jun Qianyan!


    Jun Qiyan bent her waist and quickly retreated a few steps back, avoiding the cluster of fire that had exploded together. Holding her dagger in her hand, she turned around and charged straight towards the man who controlled the fire.


    Bang!


    The crisp sound of metal striking metal rang out and a thin layer of sweat appeared on the man''s forehead.


    Although he had expected that Jun Qiyan would rush towards him after dodging, he hadn''t expected that his speed would be so fast. If he hadn''t already pulled out his longsword, he was afraid that he would be at a disadvantage!


    "Looks like you''re better at using magic ¡­ How about this, it''s not like you''re used to using swords, right?"


    The short sword fiercely pressed against the longsword, forcing Jun Qianyan to retreat. She saw that the sweat on the man''s forehead kept on coming out, but Jun Qiyan was smiling faintly, as if she was not putting in any effort at all. She was actually in the mood to joke with him.


    "Since you are not used to it, why don''t you let me help you?"


    Jun Qiyan suddenly broke into a wide grin, revealing two rows of pearly white teeth. He looked like a grinning wolf, causing the man to instantly feel threatened.


    "Someone come!" Come and catch the thief! I can''t take it anymore! "


    That person seemed to have guessed Jun Qianyan''s intention, and was preparing to leave. However, Jun Qiyan had already exerted her strength and flipped her wrist, directly sending that person''s long sword a few meters away.


    Without the sword, it was not dangerous at all. The most dangerous thing was that they could already hear the footsteps heading their way!


    "Stop wasting time with him, let''s go!"


    Seeing that they were not far from being exposed, the few of them looked at each other and did not have time to fight with Jun Qiyan. They took out some dark objects from behind them, and were about to throw them on the ground.


    "Oh?" There''s even something as high grade as tear gas bombs? "


    Jun Qianyan quickly figured out what was in their hands and couldn''t help but laugh, "I said you were thieves, but you guys didn''t acknowledge me ¡­" Look at the equipment, isn''t it? "


    Seeing Jun Qiyan mumbling to himself like a madman, and seeing that her words were not wrong, those people gritted their teeth. If it wasn''t for the fact that they were running out of time, they might really tear Jun Qiyan apart.


    "I saw it!" Quick, go catch them! "


    Not far away at the corner, someone was running at the forefront. After seeing the brown clothed people, he angrily shouted, "Quickly, don''t let them escape!"


    Seeing that more and more people were rushing over, those people could not keep their composure anymore. One by one, they tossed the tear gas grenades into the crowd.


    He had originally thought that it wouldn''t be unexpected for someone else to come and meet him. However, the problem was that the person who came was the mayor!


    Furthermore, they had to suppress them severely recently. Now that they met each other, wouldn''t they just die here?


    Seeing that the tear gas bomb had left their hands, they had also covered their faces and were about to leave. However, Jun Qiyan had brought a hurricane and directly sent the tear gas bomb back to those people, telling them that there was no time to dodge!


    "Cough, cough, cough ¡­"


    They had never thought that Jun Qiyan would use such a direct method to deal with them. While they were still bent over coughing and wiping away their tears, someone had already rushed forward and loudly yelled, "Are you tired of living? How dare you steal things to your Grandpa Su''s house? Ah? You are quite bold! "


    The steward ordered his men to tie up the ''thieves'' who had lost their ability to move, while grabbing the things in their hands.


    Five black parcels fell into the butler''s hands. The mayor, Elder Su and the others also rushed over and the butler proudly opened the five "stolen goods". Just as he was about to ask them for their contribution, he was shocked when he opened the parcels.


    Seeing that the butler had opened all the parcels and revealed the tightly wrapped items, a commotion broke out. The mayor was also surprised and he stammered, "This ¡­ These things, no... "Just now ¡­"


    "My god!"


    Su Wanyi was not surprised by this, but seeing that the others did not have much of a reaction yet, she could only scream at the top of her lungs to ''remind'' them, "How did our Su Family get such a thing?"


    "Su Wanyi!" What nonsense are you talking about! "


    Just as one scream was heard, the other one sounded. It was then followed by a slap on the face. Only then did the crowd react. They stared blankly at Su An Yun, who had been slapped in the face by Su Wanyi.


    "Aren''t you happy that you''ve disgraced the Su Clan like this?"


    At this time, Su An Yun was like a mother lecturing her unfilial daughter. With one hand on his waist and the other pointing at Su Wan Yi''s nose, he coldly smiled and nodded, "I understand ¡­" From the start, you have been pretending the entire time. You are obviously defending the Su Clan, but in reality, you are tacitly admitting that all of this is the Su Clan''s doing! You ¡ª you truly have evil intentions, the Su Family has really raised such an ungrateful bastard like you! "


    Su Anyun was also angry. She didn''t want to waste her energy slapping Su Wanyi again. She held her index and middle finger together and suddenly, a birdcage thing appeared beside Su Wanyi, trapping her within.

 C172

    "Sis ¡­" Elder sister, what are you doing? "


    Su Wan Yi didn''t know what to do about the cage that appeared out of thin air. She hastily ran to the side closest to Su An. Just as she placed her hand on the cage, the cage started to burn.


    Su An Yun''s actions scared everyone and also scared Su Wan Yi two steps back. However, Su An Yun clearly didn''t have the intention of letting Su Wan Yi go. The fire in the cage wasn''t enough, and he even tried to shrink the cage to the point of wanting to burn Su Wan Yi alive.


    "Su An Yun, don''t go too far!"


    Although she didn''t have a good impression of Su Wan Yi and Su Yun An, Jun Qianyin couldn''t bear to watch Su Wan Yi burn to death like that. She quickly summoned a water snake and began crawling along the birdcage, slowly swallowing the flames.


    "Impudent!" It is not your turn to interfere with the treatment of traitorous disciples by my Su Family! "


    Su Qiong let out a furious roar and a gust of strong wind blew the water snake away in the blink of an eye.


    "He even dares to harm his blood relatives under the eyes of so many people. Looks like the Su Clan''s clan head is indeed a vicious person. I''m sure that these things ¡­" It''s also because of the Patriarch''s intentions? "


    Just as the water snakes were blown away, a few more dark clouds suddenly appeared and rained. The flames in the birdcage were instantly extinguished.


    "Whether it is the Patriarch''s decision or not, it is not up to us to decide. However, why are those few people also carrying these things in their hands ¡­" If the Patriarch does not give a reasonable explanation, I am afraid that it will not be good, right? "


    He Yuxuan had just finished speaking when Zhu Cheng caught up with his words. His eyes also swept over those people who had been choked by the tear gas, his intentions very clear.


    With a snap of her fingers, the birdcage trapping Su Wanyi disappeared into thin air.


    Su Wanyi ran to the mayor''s side in panic and pulled his sleeve. She then kneeled down on the ground with a plop.


    "As matters stand, I can only tell you everything that the Su family has done. I only hope that all of you experts can save my life and not be forced by the Su family again!"


    As she spoke, she looked around at the crowd and then cried, "I know where the basement is. If the mayor trusts me, I''m willing to lead the way for the mayor!"


    Those who were about to die had good words to say. Su Wanyi had just been threatened by Su An Yun, so she couldn''t hide anything from him. Thus, the mayor nodded in agreement without much hesitation.


    "Damn you, Su Wanyi! To think that I, your father, have painstakingly raised you for such a long time; I didn''t expect you to be an ungrateful bastard! "


    Su Qijian revealed an angry look on his face as he realized that Su Wanyi was about to leave with the City Lord and dozens of other people. Just as she was about to attack Su Wanyi, Jun Qiyan had already tied them up with ropes.


    Seeing that Jun Qianyan had already made his move, He Yuxuan and Zhu Cheng looked at each other, as if they had already let go of their previous hatred towards Jun Qianyi and Su Wanyi.


    "Weren''t you being rather cocky just now? Why have you lost your temper now?"


    Jun Qiyan dusted his hands and glanced at the five men in brown who were still coughing. He couldn''t help but let out a disdainful laugh as he proudly walked over. It''s all thanks to my cleverness. Otherwise, the one who would be at a disadvantage right now would be me! "


    Jun Qiyan sneered. He had no choice but to cast a resentful gaze at those brown robed men. However, it was accompanied by He Yuxuan''s glare.


    "Since young master is already in front of those thieves, why don''t I trouble young master to take care of them and take off their masks so that I can see who are the bravest of them all. They even dare to steal this disgusting thing!"


    Jun Qiyan paused for a moment, turned around to glance at He Yuxuan, and suddenly smiled, "Good idea!"


    As soon as he finished speaking, as Jun Qianyan lifted his hand, those people''s masks fell off as if they had been slashed by a knife.


    With this, the five men''s faces were exposed to the crowd. Whether they lowered their heads or leaned to the side, it was all in vain.


    "Speak, how did all these things come about?"


    Jun Qianyan held his hands behind his back as he walked in circles in front of the five, and leisurely said, "You guys can be considered to be quite lucky today. Right now, the City Lord is looking into the matter of the Su Family, not you five ¡­ If you can get here from the outside, you might be able to make up for it. Maybe the City Lord can even let you leave safely. "


    "Humph!"


    Those people were stubborn. After a haughty snort, they continued, "Since you have already identified us as thieves, these things were naturally stolen!"


    "That''s really strange!"


    With a clap, Zhu Cheng closed the fan in her hands and said with a smile, "You guys don''t want to steal so many gold and silver treasures from the Su Family ¡­. "What, is it worth something else?"


    "You''re just a few bandits, why bother talking nonsense with them?"


    Zhu Cheng originally wanted to lure the fishes in, but he did not expect He Yuxuan to be so impatient. He snorted and said: They have already admitted that they stole these things, which means there is a problem with the Su Family!


    "It''s just some crappy stuff, what right do you have to think that there''s a problem with the Su Clan?!"


    Hearing the people scolding the Su Family one sentence after another, Su An Yun could no longer take it anymore. With a high-pitched voice, he shouted, "You all ¡­. You bunch of fellows who only know how to add insult to injury! I won''t forgive you! I won''t forgive you all! "


    "Who do you think my Su Family treated the He Clan and Zhu Clan so harshly? To think that they would target you two like this!"


    Seeing He Yuxuan and Zhu Cheng slowly pushing the Su Clan towards the edge of the cliff, Su Qiong was also furious as he glared at them.


    However, Zhu Cheng and He Yuxuan were young masters of an aristocratic family after all, and they simply ignored Su Qiong, who was already at a disadvantage. Helpless, Su Qiong could only vent his resentment onto Jun Feiyan, "Damn you, Yin Moyu ¡­ Back then when you said you would go to the Su Family and beg them to save your life, I kindly accepted you and I even thought of marrying Wan Yi off to you. But you actually colluded with outsiders to harm the Su Family! I... I was really blind to bring a wolf like you in! "


    Listening to Su Qijian''s'' heartbreaking ''speech, Jun Qianyin couldn''t help but extend her hand out and lightly clap for Su Qiong''s brilliant performance, "You can make it up as you please. I''m listening."


    Su Qiong''s face instantly turned ashen. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a ''thief'' speak up first, "Brother, alright okay okay okay, we were only stealing a chicken to touch a dog to make a living. I''ll tell you where this thing is hidden, and you''ll let me go, okay?"


    Their business was obviously in vain. They had to hurry and flee before the mayor knew who they were, otherwise, what they would lose would not be as simple as just a business.


    "That''s fine too!"


    Just as she was hesitating as to whether she should agree to their request, Zhu Cheng had already readily agreed. "Right now, protecting the Su Family is not beneficial at all. You two can consider yourselves smart. Let''s quickly get rid of this relationship!"


    As Zhu Cheng spoke, he approached the five bandits. Just as she was about to wait for them to speak and untie the ropes to let them go, the City Lord had already rushed back with his men ¡ª


    "We can''t release it!" None of you are allowed to run! "


    Just as Zhu Cheng raised his hand and was about to untie the ropes on the thieves'' bodies, he was suddenly scared by the City Lord''s roar and unconsciously tightened his grip.


    "Did the mayor discover something from his excitement?"


    Seeing that the Mayor and his men had rushed back, He Yuxuan asked in an attempt to intimidate them even though he had heard the general idea from Su Wanyi.


    "The Su Clan... Completely devoid of conscience! "He actually did such a horrible thing as killing people, collecting dead people, hollowing out their organs, and refining pills!"


    The City Lord arrived in front of Su Qiong, staring at him with eyes bulging so wide that they almost popped out of their sockets.


    "To think that you are an elder. How can you tolerate your descendants doing such a heartless thing!"


    While roaring at Su Qiong for not having enough fun yet, the City Lord also roared at Elder Su, angered to the point that he was gasping for breath and rolling his eyes.


    "The City Lord is innocent! How could my father and father possibly do such a thing? This must be... Someone must be framing us! "


    Su An Yun couldn''t believe what he had just heard. He shook his head and denied it.


    "Yes ¡­" That''s right City Lord, there must be some kind of misunderstanding! Yes, it is that someone is framing us. City Lord, you cannot fall into their trap! "


    Su Qiong knew that he wouldn''t be able to hide it this time. Seeing Su An Yun shake his head in denial, he also shook his head in denial, "City Lord, our Su Clan has been wrongly accused!"


    "Unjustly accused? "Hmph, I think you guys are quite clear-headed!"


    "I can believe that Su An Yun doesn''t know about this, but the two of you ¡ª one is the Patriarch, the other is an Elder ¡ª how can I not believe that you two are unaware of this!"


    "City Lord is wise!"


    Without waiting for Su Qiong to refute any further, He Yuxuan was the first to gag him, and following closely was the response from the crowd.


    The other thieves looked at each other, not daring to speak for a while.


    "Mayor, why are these people here?"


    The movements of those people did not escape Jun Qiyan''s eyes. Before long, she had already pointed her spear at them.


    "According to my investigation in the basement, the Su Clan dug out organs partly to put medicine in, and partly to sell it to the black market!"


    The mayor finally breathed a sigh of relief. He glanced at those few people, frowned, and said in a deep voice: "That''s why I suspect that these people are not regular thieves, but from the black market!"


    The mayor''s words caused everyone to suck in a breath of cold air. Just how much guts did the Su Clan have?


    "No ¡­" "How is this possible!?"


    Hearing this, Su An Yun was about to collapse. He shook his head with all his might and shouted: "No! It''s not true ¡ª it''s not true! Daddy, this isn''t real! Grandfather, quickly tell them that we were wrongly accused, that is all false! It''s fake! "


    Seeing Su An Yun mumbling to himself like a madman, the mayor also heavily sighed, slowly and heavily stating his decision.


    "Su Jingwen is your respected elder. Those who don''t know Su An are innocent. The two of them will be under house arrest and will never see each other again!"


    "Those who don''t know will be killed without mercy, and those who plan will be killed without mercy. As for the rest of the Su Family, the men are forced to become servants, and the women are sent to the official kilns to be prostitutes!"


    "These people whose identities have not been determined, take them away and interrogate them!"


    "Yes sir!"


    A series of serious consequences were announced, and everyone left in a flurry of activity. Su Wanyi, on the other hand, was able to keep her life because of the revelations. She was unlikely to enter the brothel to work as a prostitute.


    Looking at the Su Clan that were mediocre a few days ago, in an instant, they were completely devoid of people, and their homes were also sealed up by the City Lord''s orders, quickly losing all their liveliness.


    But so what?


    As far as he was concerned, it was just settling an enemy.


    As Jun Qianyan thought about this, her heart was no longer as heavy as it was when she heard the mayor''s order. Now, she only felt relaxed. When she raised her head, she happened to meet Su Wanyi''s gaze.


    From the moment she knew that the Su Clan had been defeated, those large watery eyes had lost their scheming and viciousness. Now, it was just a clear mix of the pleasure of revenge.


    Perhaps the most important thing for Su Wanyi was revenge.


    What made her lose herself was her hatred towards the Su Clan.


    "Are you satisfied with this result?"


    Jun Qiyan approached Su Wanyi and asked in a low voice with a smile.


    At any rate, the City Lord had said that the Su Clan still had infants that were not even seven years old.


    They truly did not know what was going on, and they should not have been implicated. Thus, they also ordered Su Wanyi, the only adult Su Family member who did not receive punishment, to become the new head of the Su Family.


    However, the Su Clan''s influence was already gone, and as the Patriarch, she obviously had a false reputation.


    "I am naturally satisfied with taking revenge for my mother."


    Su Wan Yi''s eyes were still shining brightly as she spoke. She thought about how she had gotten her beloved toy as a child after so much effort.


    "Since you have already avenged yourself, I will let go of one thing in my mind. We two ¡­ This is where the cooperation ends. "


    Jun Qiyan smiled gently and patted Su Wanyi''s shoulder, saying, "From now on, we will walk our own paths. If fate wills it, we will meet again!"


    "Wan Yi will remember you. But at this point, you still don''t want to tell me your real name?"


    Just as Jun Qianyan was about to bid farewell, she was stopped by Su Wan Yi.


    "Next time!" Without turning back to look at her, Jun Qianyan continued walking forward and elegantly threw down a sentence, "If fate permits, it is not too late to tell you his name. If not, so what if we know his name. Do we have a chance to call him out?"


    Su Wanyi was stunned.


    The moonlight spilled onto the ground, illuminating Su Wan Yi''s field of vision, but it was not illuminating Jun Qiyan''s departing figure. Su Wan Yi could only watch helplessly as Jun Qiyan disappeared into the darkness, vanishing completely.

 C173

    The Alchemist Competition is considered to have come to an end


    In this period of time, many things had happened. Jun Qianyan had now stepped into the Xiantian realm, and only by obtaining the right opportunity could she break through at any time.


    Jun Qiyan quickly moved through the forest.


    A "peng" sound could be heard. A black shadow descended from the sky.


    Jun Qiyan was frightened to the point that she blanked out for a moment. Then, she squinted her eyes and took a step forward to observe what was in front of her.


    This glance did not seem important, but it did give Jun Qiyan a fright.


    Because Ken had fallen from the sky, a large crater had appeared on the ground. At this moment, a black clothed man wearing a black scarf was quietly lying on the ground with his eyes closed.


    Jun Qianyan was stunned. "This is actually a person?!"


    Subconsciously, she took a step forward and somewhat hesitantly pulled away the man''s black scarf that was wrapped around his face.


    A miserably beautiful face appeared in Jun Qiyan''s eyes. It was a devilish face. The man''s skin was a type of deathly pale white, with a completely sickly appearance. However, all of this did not affect the man''s appearance in the slightest.


    Even though Jun Qiyan had been influenced by Di Mo Jiu for a long time, and his understanding of ''beauty'' had already increased by who knows how many times, he still couldn''t help but sigh at the creator''s bias.


    It was obvious that he was a man, yet he was even more beautiful than a woman. Jun Qiyan curled her lips as she felt that she had seen his face somewhere before. She knitted her brows and thought about it for a long time, but still couldn''t think of who he looked like.


    She stretched out her hand to check if the person on the ground was breathing, but just as Jun Qiyan''s hand was about to reach out, the handsome man''s eyes impressively opened, a pair of purple eyes.


    "Ugh ¡­" Jun Qiyan awkwardly hung her hand in the air, not knowing whether to withdraw it or not.


    Why did she feel like a wretched uncle was raping a pretty girl on the spot?!


    "I, I just want to check your condition ¡­" Jun Qiyan said in a weak and timely manner.


    However, the person sitting on the ground didn''t seem to hear Jun Qiyan''s words at all. His eyes were still as wide as ever, staring at her without even blinking.


    Jun Qiyan''s long and shapely eyebrows creased. She felt that something was wrong. She extended a slender finger, and tentatively waved it in front of the beautiful man''s eyes a few times, but the other side didn''t have the slightest reaction.


    Jun Qiyan then put his finger on the handsome man''s nose.


    His breathing was so weak that it was shocking.


    Only then did Jun Qianyan take a closer look at the man before her. The man was wearing a black embroidered robe, and no matter how you looked at his clothes, he wasn''t an ordinary person.


    The jade pendant on his waist was also of high quality.


    Jun Qiyan had never been a busybody. Looking at the sickly and beautiful man in front of her right now, she felt that it was a pity ¡­


    Another good-looking person was missing from the world.


    Jun Qiyan stood up and patted off the dust on his body, preparing to leave.


    "Mother, aren''t you going to save her?"


    The ball in his spiritual mind suddenly whispered.


    Jun Qiyan was startled. He didn''t expect that the ball would ask for mercy from that beautiful man.


    "Nope." She gave a deep look to the sickly beauty before turning to leave without the slightest hesitation.


    "Why should I save him? I''m not related to him at all. "


    No matter how he looked at it, that man didn''t seem like an ordinary person. It was impossible for an ordinary person to fall from such a high height, and even if they were seriously injured, they would still be able to survive.


    As far as he was concerned, Jun Qiyan felt that he would definitely die.


    In addition to those purple eyes ¡­


    It was not the color of a human''s eyes! She did not want to save an existence similar to Ninth Master.


    One Di Mo Jiu was enough to give her a headache.


    When she thought of Emperor Mo Jiujun, Qiyan took a deep breath. She would probably never be able to see the Ninth Master again ¡­


    "Because ¡­" The ball''s face was flushed and its round white body was suffused with a suspicious pink glow.


    "Because he is good-looking!"


    said the ball, pursing its lips.


    Jun Qiyan blanked out for a moment, suspecting that his ears had broken.


    "What?!"


    Beautiful!


    So you are such a ball!


    Jun Qiyan instantly revealed a look of disdain.


    How come she didn''t realize that this guy was a beauty reader before?


    That''s not right!


    Jun Qiyan seemed to have thought of something.


    Back then, when this fellow had first met Di Mo Jiu, he had also instantly turned against him!


    "Mother, save him ~ ~"


    Saying adorably, "I can feel a very familiar aura from him!"


    A familiar aura? It must be because he was handsome that he felt familiar!


    Jun Qiyan secretly despised the ball in his heart.


    "Alright, I''ll feed him a pill. Feed it to me, and I''ll leave."


    Jun Qiyan could not stand the sight of the ball, so he waved his hand and said.


    Jun Qiyan turned around and returned to the side of the beautiful man.


    He took out quite a few high grade medicinal pills from his Spatial Ring and stuffed them into the mouth of the beautiful man, and he looked at the beautiful man''s face that had a trace of blood on it.


    "Young man, this older sister has done her best. Whether you live or die from now on will depend on your fate."


    Jun Qiyan muttered a few words in his heart as he lifted his foot, intending to leave ¡­


    "Search carefully!" The boss said it was nearby! If he''s seriously injured, he definitely won''t be able to escape! "


    "That person was sent flying by boss, and he even suffered such heavy injuries. He might already be dead ¡­" Otherwise


    "Let''s not look anymore ¡­"


    The moment he finished speaking, the sound of footsteps could be heard.


    Jun Qiyan''s body stiffened as cold sweat ran down his back.


    This is bad!


    Jun Qiyan felt a great sense of unease in her heart. She had a premonition that those people were referring to the man she had just saved!


    Jun Qiyan took a deep breath as he silently cursed in his heart.


    If those people found out that he was the one who saved him ¡­


    The girl secretly bit her lips and dragged the pretty man into a cave in the depths of the forest.


    "Look for them carefully!"


    The footsteps drew closer and closer, causing Jun Qiyan''s breathing to quicken. Judging by the sound of the footsteps, there should be ten people in front of her, and their strength was ominous ¡­


    She silently calculated in her heart how likely she would be able to escape if she were to fight against those people.


    "Don''t move ¡­"


    A low and deep voice rang out in Jun Qiyan''s ears at an inopportune time.


    Jun Qiyan felt something pressing hard against his waist.


    It was a dagger!


    Damn it! He had saved an ingrate! Jun Qianyan''s pupils changed as his voice became as cold as ice. "What an ingrate!"


    Then, there was a series of footsteps at the entrance of the cave.


    The pretty man was taken aback. "You saved me?"


    Jun Qianyan unhappily replied, "If it wasn''t for me, you would have long been taken away by those people!"


    When the beautiful man heard these words, his expression changed. Then, a trace of coldness flashed across his face as he ruthlessly chopped at the nape of Jun Qiyan''s neck with his saber.


    Jun Qiyan swore that if she did it again, she would absolutely not save him.


    On the other side, Di Mo Jiu was squinting his eyes, dark circles could be seen in them. It was obvious that he had not had a good rest.


    "How is it? Is there any news? "


    Di Mo Jiu asked in a hoarse voice, sounding a bit tired.


    The people underground hesitated for a moment and did not say a word.


    Di Mo Jiu raised his eyes, his golden pupils slowly opened up, looking straight at the man and woman in front of him. The expression on his face was unclear.


    "Gan Ming, go ahead." Di Mo Jiu had a cold expression on his face. Anyone who saw him would know that he was in an extremely bad mood.


    Gan Ming was silent for a second. Then, like a machine, he replied, "Miss Jun is currently in the shrine."


    "Deities Templar?"


    Di Mo Jiu''s eyes narrowed, as though a terrifying storm was brewing in them.


    Yan Ruyu!


    "Let''s head to the shrine now!"


    Di Mo Jiu said word by word, his face was filled with anger.


    "Master... "Your body is no longer in such a good condition ¡­"


    The woman beside Gan Ming gritted her teeth as she spoke.


    "Gongyin!" Gan Ming looked at Gan Yin in disbelief: "Pay attention to your identity! When can you ask about the matters of the Lord! "


    Gan Ming looked at Gan Yin warily. What was going on with his little sister today?


    Gongyin usually did things with a sense of propriety.


    Gan Yin bit her lips and said unwillingly, "But, my lord ¡­"


    "Gongyin." Di Mo Jiu''s voice didn''t waver in the slightest, but the more he spoke, the more Gongming felt apprehensive.


    "Go and collect your own punishment. Next time, get out of the Divine Arts Pavilion."


    Di Mo said with an expressionless face.


    "Yes ¡­"

 C174

    Zi Yue looked at Gan Yin''s departing back in a daze. A trace of resentment flashed past her eyes.


    When Jun Qiyan returned to her room, she covered her entire body with a blanket, revealing only her red, small face. Her thoughts drifted erratically, and her mind was filled with that kiss just now.


    Jun Qiyan subconsciously touched his hot cheeks. He had never experienced such a feeling of a fawn running amok in his two lifetimes of life. For a moment, he was at a loss for what to do.


    Just as Jun Qi was stunned, the door was suddenly opened by someone. With a creaking sound, a tall figure stood in front of the door. Jun Qianyan froze, not daring to look back.


    Di Mo Jiu looked at the tiny figure on the bed and helplessly sighed. He gently closed the door and slowly walked behind Jun Qianyan without making a sound.


    The atmosphere in the air instantly became tense. Jun Qiyan tightly gripped the quilts on both sides as she lightly bit her lips.


    A sigh came from behind as Di Mo Jiu embraced Jun Qiyan from behind, his pretty chin was placed on Jun Qianyan''s head.


    Jun Qiyan felt the power behind his back, and his entire face looked like a cooked prawn.


    "Xiao Yan ¡­" Di Mo Jiu moved Jun Qiyan''s body over. Seeing the small figure in front of him, Di Mo Jiu''s gaze could not help but become a little more gentle.


    Jun Qiyan lowered her head, not daring to look Di Mo Jiu in the eye.


    Di Mo Jiu gently held the small person in front of him in his arms and said slowly with a deep voice, "I''ve missed you."


    A thousand words put together in one sentence.


    Jun Qiyan stared blankly as his nose turned sour. Huge tears rolled down his face, and it took a lot of effort for him to prevent them from falling.


    Di Mo Jiu was silent for a moment, but he did not receive Jun Qianyan''s response. He could not help but feel a little anxious in his heart. He lifted Jun Qiyan''s chin, forcing her to look him straight in the eyes.


    With a trace of bewitchment, he said, "Little guy, do you miss me?"


    Jun Qiyan''s entire body stiffened as his angered face directly entered the depths of his eyes.


    Jun Qiyan lightly pursed her red lips, her face was somewhat pale, and she felt as if her brain had turned into a paste.


    Can''t think.


    What did Ninth Master just say ¡­


    Did he miss her?


    The girl stared straight at Di Mo Jiu, her clear eyes seemed to be filled with no impurities.


    Di Mo Jiu''s sexy Adam''s apple slightly rolled, his heart was a little nervous.


    Di Mo Jiu had never confessed to anyone in his life, and he didn''t know what was'' like ''. But now, Di Mo Jiu knew very well that he wanted this little girl.


    He wanted this girl to stay by his side for all of his life and for all of eternity. Moreover, this girl could only be Jun Qiyan. He couldn''t do anything else except for her.


    Di Mo Jiu''s face was filled with determination.


    Jun Qiyan pursed her lips, her red lips slightly parted as she spoke. Unknowingly, her voice sounded like she was choked with emotions, "I don''t believe it."


    She turned her face to the side, silently cursing herself in her heart. She clearly wanted to be extremely fierce, but her words actually had a coquettish tone.


    Jun Qiyan felt that he had lost all the face he had had in his two lifetimes.


    Di Mo Jiu frowned, what the hell was this?


    He had thought of thousands of answers, but he had never thought of the words "I don''t believe it".


    Di Mo Jiu grabbed Jun Qiyan''s hand and gently pressed it against his chest. He slowly enunciated each word, "Can you feel it? The only thing here is for you to jump?"


    Through this material, Jun Qiyan could feel the temperature coming from the animation base. She wanted to withdraw her hand, but Di Mo Jiu didn''t give her the chance to do so.


    He gripped Jun Qiyan''s wrist tightly, and looked at her with his beautiful eyes.


    "You''re blaming me for suddenly disappearing ¡­"


    Di Mo Jiu suddenly said, not with a question but with certainty.


    Someone poked in the middle, like a cat with hair blown off.


    "I didn''t!" As the sound of his voice faded, Jun Qianyan ruthlessly pushed Di Mo Jiu a few more times.


    Di Mo Jiu was caught off guard by this sudden burst of strength. He groaned and held his stomach with a pained look on his face.


    Hearing Di Mo Jiu''s pained groan, Jun Qiyan''s face turned pale; she didn''t care about her shyness as she nervously looked at Di Mo Jiu and hurriedly asked, "You''re hurt?!"


    Jun Qiyan knew very well that she had not even used 10% of her spiritual power, but Di Mo Jiu''s appearance was simply painful to the extreme.


    Sweat slowly rolled down the man''s forehead. Di Mo Jiu''s face was pale, but he still forced a smile in order not to worry Jun Qianyan.


    "I''m fine ¡­"


    Jun Qiyan didn''t believe Di Mo Jiu''s words at all. She stared at him with wide eyes as her small hands reached towards his clothes unsteadily.


    Di Mo Jiu watched her with a faint smile on his pale face, this girl was so reckless.


    Jun Qiyan stripped Di Mo Jiu''s clothes clean in a few moments.


    A large area of bandages entered Jun Qiyan''s eyes.


    "I''m fine."


    Di Mo Jiu looked at Jun Qiyan''s pale face with a pained expression. He didn''t want Jun Qiyan to worry about him.


    Jun Qiyan glared with his slightly reddened eyes as he sternly said, "Shut up!"


    You call this fine? Was death the only thing that mattered?


    As he thought of this, Jun Qiyan''s pupils reddened a bit. She could no longer hold back her tears as they rolled down her cheeks.


    Her finger trembled slightly as she tried to imitate Di Mo Jiu''s bandage, but blood was already seeping out from the bandage, making it look even more frightening.


    "You, how did you do this ¡­" You are so grown-up and you don''t even know how to take care of yourself?! "


    Jun Qiyan couldn''t help but cry out.


    Di Mo Jiu did not feel the slightest bit dissatisfied because of Jun Qianyan''s attitude. Instead, the smile on his face became even more obvious.


    Jun Qiyan''s eyes were wide like those of an angry little beast. "You''re still laughing ¡­"


    Di Mo Jiu gently wiped the tears from the corner of Jun Qianyan''s eyes and softly said, "I am in your heart, am I right?"


    Jun Qiyan blanked for a moment, and then his face turned red.


    He, he did it on purpose!


    "You, you are doing this ¡­" I, I won''t care about you anymore! "


    Jun Qianyan was extremely infuriated as he threatened Di Mo Jiu while pointing at his smiling eyes.


    However, when his voice fell, even Jun Qiyan found it somewhat amusing.


    Di Mo Jiu gently rubbed Jun Qiyan''s head and said in a low voice, "Didn''t you want to know why I left without saying anything?"


    Jun Qiyan frowned slightly, looking straight at Di Mo Jiu.


    Di Mo pointed at the wound on his abdomen and said, "That''s the reason.


    Jun Qiyan''s brows tightly knitted together as he became somewhat dazed.


    "Who the hell are you?"


    Jun Qiyan stared straight at Di Mo Jiu. She and the Ninth Master had not known each other for a long time, and neither was it short. However, Jun Qiyan knew nothing about anyone else besides Di Mo Jiu''s name and gender.


    However, even though it was as before, Jun Qiyan knew that her Ninth Lord definitely had an extraordinary identity.


    How could he be an ordinary person if he knew the hall master so well?


    Faced with Jun Qiyan''s questioning, Di Mo Jiu had no intention of evading. After a moment of silence, a cello like voice slowly resounded in the silent room.


    "Little fellow, let me formally introduce you. My name is Di Mo Jiu, male and female. I like Jun Qiyan, my identity is ¡­"


    Di Mo Jiu paused for a moment, as he replied, "The pavilion master of the Divine Arts Pavilion."


    Initially, Jun Qianyan was still blushing a little when he heard Di Mo Jiu''s "hobby, Jun Qianyan". Then, he heard the second half of the sentence.


    The pavilion master of the Divine Arts Pavilion.


    The Pavilion Master of the Divine Arts Pavilion?


    Jun Qiyan was already prepared for this, but he was still shocked by Di Mo Jiu''s second half of the sentence.


    Divine Hall, Divine Arts Pavilion.


    They were the most ancient and apex forces in the Eastern Xuan Continent, and no one knew where they were based.


    Deities Templar was the symbol of light. According to legends, the hall master of Deities Templar was the only deity that existed during the Great War of Gods and Demons.


    The pavilion master of the Divine Arts Pavilion was one of the founders of the Great War of Gods and Devils ¡­ Demon god!


    Legend has it that the demonic gods were cold and merciless, killing people without restraint.


    When Jun Qiyan looked at Di Mo Jiu again, his emotions became incomparably complicated.


    "Ninth Master, are the rumors true?"


    Jun Qiyan looked straight at Di Mo Jiu, his voice hoarse. Although she couldn''t be considered a good person, but she would definitely not kill an innocent person and start a war. Similarly, she wouldn''t tolerate anyone else besides herself.


    Di Mo Jiu was in no hurry to speak. Instead, he retorted, "What do you think ¡­"


    Di Mo Jiu looked nervously at Jun Qiyan, afraid that he would see something similar to disgust in the girl''s eyes.


    As for what rumors were going around about him, it was clear to Di Mo Jiu. That was exactly what was going on. Di Mo Jiu was scared, but at the same time, he was also a bit excited.


    Jun Qiyan shook her head. Deep down in her heart, she didn''t believe that Di Mo Jiu would do something like that.


    Di Mo Jiu laughed, and the world seemed to lose its color.


    As expected, his little girl did not disappoint him.


    Immediately after, Di Mo Jiu said something that was enough to shock the entire Eastern Xuan Continent.

 C175

    "Before the Great War of Gods and Demons, which lasted for ten thousand years, I was a Highgod of the God Realm, and the Great War of Gods and Demons back then was basically a non-existent affair ¡­"


    Jun Qiyan''s eyes were wide open as she stood rooted to the spot. After a long time, she had yet to digest what Di Mo Jiu had just said.


    Fake?


    How is this possible!?


    There were still traces of the war back then. Even now, the main battlefield was a complete mess.


    Di Mo Jiu''s lips curled up as he saw the doubt in Jun Qianyan''s eyes.


    "Back then, the so-called Great War of Gods and Demons was just a dispute within the god race. Back then, I was betrayed and fell into a pit of mud before falling into the Demonic Way. The God Realm used this as a reason to suppress the three of us."


    Finishing his words, Di Mo Jiu''s eyes darkened a little. That memory was like an unforgettable memory to him.


    Jun Qiyan''s eyes flashed with a trace of heartache. He didn''t dare to imagine what Di Mo Jiu had experienced in the past.


    What exactly happened that caused a Highgod to fall into the Path of Demon ¡­


    "In order to cover up the truth and erase the memories of the human race, those bastards put all the blame on me." Di Mo Jiu''s eyes turned cold.


    There would be a day when he would return and personally take care of those who had betrayed him.


    "And the reason why I''m returning this time around, is also because of the God Realm."


    Di Mo Jiu said indifferently, his eyes were no longer moving up and down.


    Jun Qiyan touched Di Mo Jiu''s cheek with a bit of heartache.


    Di Mo Jiu was stunned, his eyes became profound.


    Jun Qiyan''s face turned red. It was only now that she realized that she had been unable to restrain herself from eating Ninth Master''s tofu ¡­


    "One day I will return to the temple, to the glory that was once mine. Would you like to witness that moment with me? "


    Di Mo Jiu held Jun Qiyan''s hand and stared at her as he asked in a soft voice.


    Jun Qiyan froze.


    She had never experienced the feelings of a man and a woman and did not know what kind of feelings she had towards Di Mo Jiu, but Jun Qiyan knew that the Ninth Master was different to her.


    Seeing Jun Qiyan''s lack of response, a hint of disappointment flashed across Di Mo Jiu''s eyes. As expected, he was being too hasty ¡­


    "I do." Jun Qiyan replied with a smile.


    In any case, Jun Qiyan was sure that there was a Ninth Master in her heart.


    Di Mo Jiu was startled, his eyes flashed with a trace of disbelief.


    Jun Qiyan felt that this feeling was very delicate, and an indescribable sweetness filled his heart.


    "However ¡­" Jun Qiyan seemed to recall something, and a complicated look appeared in his eyes.


    Di Mo Jiu''s heart was in his throat. Could it be that this little girl was regretting?


    "Ninth Lord, I only have a hundred years left." Jun Qiyan pursed his lips into a straight line. If this went on, when he had reached the end of his life, Di Mo Jiu would still be in his youth.


    Jun Qiyan expressed that he was unable to accept this.


    Di Mo Jiu smiled and continued, "When humans reach a certain level of cultivation, they can also ascend to the Immortal Realm and gain unlimited lifespan."


    Jun Qiyan patted her head as her face turned pale. How could she have forgotten about this?


    "Little thing, promise me and you won''t go back on your word."


    Di Mo Jiu held Jun Qiyan''s small hand and said with a smile.


    Jun Qiyan''s face was slightly red. She took the initiative to link her ninety fingers with Di Mo, using her actions to express her feelings.


    It was great that this man was now his from now on.


    Thinking of this, Jun Qiyan couldn''t help but secretly laugh in her heart.


    Di Mo Jiu was also in a good mood when he saw Jun Qianyan''s expression.


    "Mistress, Hierarch Hierarch wants you to dine in the main hall." Gan Yin opened the door at the wrong time and respectfully said.


    However, his gaze couldn''t help but drift in the direction of Jun Qiyan, and he couldn''t help but feel a bit jealous.


    The so-called ''Hierarch Hierarch'' naturally referred to Yan Ruyu. Di Mo Jiu did not object and just glanced at the little girl beside him.


    Jun Qiyan nodded, not wanting to put Di Mo Jiu in an awkward position.


    Di Mo Jiu walked into the main hall while holding Jun Qianyan''s hand, his face full of smiles. When Yan Ruyu and Ingze saw the two men walk in, their jaws almost dropped from shock.


    This fellow''s speed is truly fast. In less than four hours, he managed to get rid of the other party.


    Yan Ruyu touched his chin and a smile appeared on his lips. This girl was too disappointing. He was counting on that bastard to be depressed for a few more days.


    "Come, come, everyone has something to eat and some to drink. We''re all on the same side, so there''s no need to be polite."


    Yan Ruyu blinked his eyes at Jun Qiyan, then continued, "Let me announce something here. From today onwards, this is my adopted sister. Anyone who disrespects my adopted sister will not like me, Yan Ruyu!"


    Yan Ruyu swept his surroundings with a slightly intimidating gaze. The various senior executives of the shrine broke out in a cold sweat as they sized up Jun Qianyan with reverence in their eyes.


    This little girl''s background is not simple!


    Finishing his words, Di Mo Jiu''s face turned black, his gaze turned sharp as he looked in the direction of Yan Ruyu.


    "Sister?!" Di Mo Jiu''s voice was slightly raised, the corners of his eyes were filled with immense pressure.


    Why didn''t he know that his little girl had a sworn brother? He was very clear about what Yan Ruyu was planning!


    Yan Ruyu nodded at Di Mo Jiu as if he wasn''t afraid of death. He did not forget to admit, "That''s right, that''s my adopted sister."


    After he finished speaking, he didn''t forget to wink at Jun Qiyan.


    Di Mo Jiu once again looked at Jun Qianyan with an inquiring look in his eyes. Jun Qianyan innocently blinked her eyes, then she honestly shook her head, indicating that she knew nothing about him.


    "You don''t have to do this!"


    Yan Ruyu let out a blood-curdling screech with an injured look on his face.

 C176

    "Look into my eyes." Yan Ruyu blinked his peach blossom eyes at Jun Qiyan.


    Di Mo Jiu''s face turned black, his teeth chattered loudly.


    Is this kid tired of living? His wife dares to tease him.


    Everyone present was able to see what was going on, and expressed that it was normal for their Lord Hierarch to keep courting death.


    He stood up, raised a cup of fine wine and said to Jun Qiyan, "This is the person who saved my life, I shall leave her here. If anyone touches a single hair on her head, they will become my enemy."


    Everyone present went silent, not because they were dissatisfied with the oath, but because they were shocked speechless. Just what was the status of this girl to make the three great forces of the Eastern Xuan Continent say such words ¡­


    Even Jun Qiyan was stunned. She had never wanted to be relatives with them. She had never seen any girls looking at her in such a way that they would eat her alive.


    "Haha ¡­" Jun Qiyan dryly laughed, but didn''t dare to show the slightest bit of dissatisfaction on his face.


    If she were to reject this goblet of wine, she would probably be hacked to death by the admirers of the three great buddhas ¡­


    "I''m sorry she can''t drink." Di Mo Jiu raised his eyebrows and said slowly.


    Inze waved his hand to indicate that he didn''t care, that he was just trying to express his stance, that he didn''t care about this glass of wine at all.


    As the two of them were talking, Zi Yue appeared in front of everyone with a group of maids.


    Zi Yue said in a charming voice, "Be careful."


    As she finished speaking, she turned around to lay out the tableware for Yan Ruyu. It was unknown if Zi Yue had done this on purpose, but she turned around and coincidentally knocked over a soup on Jun Qiyan''s table.


    The greasy soup immediately spilled all over Jun Qiyan''s body.


    Silence filled the air.


    Zi Yue was also stunned on the spot. She was the first to react and directly scolded the maid behind Jun Qianyan, not mentioning her mistake.


    "Bastard!" Are you blind? Can''t you see that this lady''s dress is dirty? "


    The maidservants behind Jun Qianyan also felt wronged by the scolding, but they didn''t dare to retort due to Zi Yue''s position.


    Di Mo Jiu calmly took a sip of his tea. His face did not reveal the least bit of abnormality, but Yan Ruyu had already spoken up from the side.


    "Zi Yue."


    He called out Zi Yue''s name in an indifferent manner, with a bit of coldness in her beautiful peach blossom eyes.


    Zi Yue''s entire body trembled and her face paled. Although Yan Ruyu hadn''t reprimanded her for her mistake, Zi Yue could still feel that Yan Ruyu was displeased at this moment.


    "Apologize."


    Apologize?!


    Zi Yue''s face paled as a trace of disbelief flashed in her eyes. ''Your highness wants me to apologize to this mortal?''


    Zi Yue bit her lips without making a sound.


    The coldness in Yan Ruyu''s eyes became even more obvious.


    Zi Yue''s eyes were filled with tears. She looked as if she had been wronged.


    Zi Yue''s parents were the victims of the Celestial race''s internal strife.


    Back then, Yan Ruyu Emperor Mo Jiu, Ingze, and the others had asked Zi Yue''s parents to go to the God Clan as spies in order to find out more information about them.


    However, Zi Yue''s parents were unintentionally discovered by the god race. Their souls were shattered, and they eventually turned into ashes ¡­


    Back then, Zi Yue was only a Nascent Child. Yan Ruyu and the others felt some guilt and raised Zi Yue by their side.


    She had promised Zi Yue everything she wanted, and this made Zi Yue even more arrogant.


    Thinking to that point, a trace of regret flashed past Yan Ruyu''s eyes. He only hoped that it wasn''t too late for his to discipline him, and that he wouldn''t have the face to face Zi Yue''s dead parents ¡­


    Zi Yue, however, knew nothing about Yan Ruyu''s inner thoughts. She knew that his big brother, who had doted on her for over ten thousand years, wanted her to apologize in an even more unrelated manner!


    And it was with such an aggressive attitude.


    Normally, Ingze would also come out as a peacemaker to smooth things over, but Ingze turned his head to the side and refused to receive Zi Yue''s pleading gaze.


    How could this be?


    Zi Yue looked at the three of them with a wronged expression.


    Jun Qiyan frowned slightly. He wanted to open his mouth to break the deadlock, but Di Mo Jiu extended his hand to stop him. The current situation was no longer a matter of the Purple Moon Society not apologizing.


    "I''m sorry ¡­"


    Zi Yue gritted her teeth as she saw dozens of pairs of eyes fixate on her, and told Jun Qiyan.


    Jun Qiyan''s frown deepened. She had always felt that this would only backfire on her. Let''s not even talk about whether Zi Yue had realized her mistake.


    She probably hated him now.


    Seeing that Zi Yue had already apologized, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.


    However, Yan Ruyu did not feel that this matter was over. She continued to say, "Jun Qiyan is the Holy Maiden of our Deities Templar, not some Miss. You must pay your respects to her in the future."


    Zi Yue was startled. Salute?


    For her to bow to such a mortal?


    Zi Yue felt more and more like she didn''t recognize Yan Ruyu. In her mind, Yan Ruyu occupied the three most important characters: his father, his elder brother, and his lover.


    But suddenly, one day, the person he was closest to repeatedly cursed him for the sake of a woman he had just met who he was not related to ¡­


    A trace of hatred flashed in Zi Yue''s eyes. It was all because of this woman!


    If it wasn''t for this woman, how could the Hierarch have treated him this way? What kind of bewitching soup did this woman give the Hierarch?!


    This woman ¡­ I can''t let him stay!


    Jun Qiyan didn''t notice Zi Yue''s hateful gaze. At this moment, her thoughts were entirely on her dress. Normally, she was a germaphobic person. Now that she was with the Ninth Master, she couldn''t accept such an oily and greasy person.


    "Miss Holy Maiden, let me take you to change your clothes."


    The maid, who had been scolded by Zi Yue earlier, took a step forward and asked caringly.


    Jun Qiyan nodded and returned to the place where he and Di Mo Jiu were staying with the maid.


    After changing his clothes, Jun Qiyan walked out of the room, waiting for the maid to take him back to the main hall.


    The main hall was a lot further away from Jun Qiyan''s temporary residence. Moreover, Jun Qiyan was an idiot, so she didn''t know how to return to the main hall.


    "Miss Holy Maiden, can we set off now?"


    the maidservant asked respectfully as she came before Jun Qiyan.


    Jun Qiyan nodded.


    There was nothing to say along the way.


    Everything about you looks different.


    However, the more Lu Junxian looked at her, the more he felt that something was amiss.


    "Where are you taking me?" Jun Qiyan''s footsteps paused as he surveyed his surroundings.


    The main hall was mostly located in a few tall palaces, and they found out that they were indeed in a large forest of peach blossoms. The petals danced in the air, appearing very beautiful.


    The maidservant paused in her steps, before saying with a smile, "Miss Holy Maiden, it was the Demon Lord who asked me to bring you here. He said that he has a surprise for you."


    Jun Qiyan was stunned.


    "Are you talking about Di Mo Jiu?"


    Jun Qiyan asked doubtfully.

 C177

    The maidservant nodded her head. She seemed to have seen through Jun Qiyan''s suspicions and continued, "The Demon Lord said that he wanted to give you a surprise, so he told me not to tell you first ¡­"


    Her words sounded flawless, and the sweetness in Jun Qiyan''s heart quickly replaced her vigilance. She smiled and nodded.


    "This is the place."


    Jun Qiyan stopped walking and looked around. There were peach blossoms everywhere and there was a huge abyss in the middle of it.


    The abyss was suffused with a ghostly blue light.


    Jun Qianyan lightly furrowed her brows, took a step forward with some curiosity, and tried to clearly see the scene within the abyss.


    Since there was no banquet held by Jun Qiyan, Di Mo Jiu was eating in a rather absent-minded manner.


    "Where is he?"


    Di Mo Jiu frowned, looking at the belated maid.


    "Why is it just you?"


    Facing Di Mo Jiu''s questioning, the maid''s eyes flashed with a trace of panic. She quickly said, "Miss Holy Maiden said that she is not feeling well, so she won''t come over for now."


    Di Mo Jiu''s beautiful eyebrows instantly turned into a frown.


    His body wasn''t feeling well? He was clearly still alive just a moment ago, how could he suddenly feel unwell?


    Yan Ruyu poured himself a cup of wine. He curled his lips, and said with a hint of ridicule, "I say, no need to be so nervous right? Ever since the girl left, I haven''t seen you eat a proper meal."


    Di Mo and Di Jiu glanced at Yan Ruyu coldly, not saying a word.


    Yan Ruyu did not care that Di Mo Jiu did not talk to his, and continued to talk to himself, "When you did not meet that girl in the last tens of thousands of years, didn''t you also manage to survive? Furthermore, this is my territory. She has matters to attend to, so if something were to happen to me, wouldn''t that ¡­ "


    Before Yan Ruyu could finish his words, Di Mo Jiu had already dropped his chopsticks and was staring at the maid with a sharp glint in his eyes.


    The maid broke out in a cold sweat. She didn''t know if it was because she felt guilty or not.


    "You''d better pray she stays in her room!"


    Finishing his words, Di Mo Jiu turned and left the banquet in a flash.


    Yan Ruyu''s face was a bit ugly. After all, he was the host of the banquet. Di Mo Jiu leaving without giving his face made her feel embarrassed for a moment.


    "Why don''t we follow them and take a look?"


    He noticed that Yan Ruyu''s expression was not friendly and asked with good intentions.


    Yan Ruyu nodded. What if something really happened to that girl? According to Di Mo Jiu''s personality, he wouldn''t be able to turn his entire shrine upside down ¡­


    "Wait."


    Just as Yan Ruyu was preparing to leave, Ingze called out to her.


    With some doubt, Yan Ruyu turned around and looked at him, then asked, "What''s wrong?"


    "Take her with you."


    Inzio pointed to the maid, who was now pale.


    Yan Ruyu nodded, and the two of them turned around and left, leaving the group of guests staring at each other.


    Why would they leave their guests behind and allow the banquet master to leave?


    Even so, no one dared to say anything.


    Di Mo Jiu was sitting on the bed with a gloomy face, his hand was holding on to the change in Jun Feiyan''s clothes.


    There was not a single person among the supplies.


    Yan Ruyu''s face turned black. Recalling what he said just now, he felt a burst of pain on his face.


    "Brother, don''t, don''t be nervous."


    Seeing Di Mo Jiu''s silent expression, Yan Ruyu could not help but feel scared. After all, he had lost someone in his own territory.


    Di Mo Jiu continued to stare straight at Yan Ruyu, that look in his eyes couldn''t wait to tear his into a thousand pieces.


    [I should be looking at that girl all the time ¡­]


    Yan Ruyu swallowed his saliva and turned around to look at the maid behind his. He was about to ask Jun Qianyan where he was only to discover that the person had already committed suicide.


    This time, Inze''s face became a bit uglier.


    The other party was prepared to die.


    "A maid does not have the guts to plot and kill her own Holy Maiden. There must be a conspiracy behind this!"


    Yan Ruyu said, and Ingze gave him a look that seemed to say he was looking at an idiot.


    The three of them expressed their position at the banquet.


    Those people at the banquet were all from the Three Six Nine Nations, so no one dared to confront them directly.


    Even if there was any deep hatred between Jun Qiyan and the two of them, they should have made their move after leaving the shrine, and not under their noses. They should have slapped their faces in such a bright manner.


    When he thought of this, he squatted down beside the corpse of the maid, but soon after, his face turned deathly pale.


    "That place... Is it a mountain full of peach blossoms all year round? "


    Inze suddenly asked.


    Yan Ruyu tightly furrowed his brows, and there was a hint of reproach in his tone. "You''re still in the mood to say something at this time ¡­"


    Yan Ruyu''s voice suddenly stopped and his face turned pale. The three men exchanged glances.


    He then disappeared on the spot. His speed was so fast that no one could catch his afterimage.


    Jun Qiyan sat at the edge of the balcony, an endless abyss beneath her feet.


    Jun Qiyan puffed up his cheeks, feeling even more dissatisfied.


    Men were indeed not good people! She told him to wait here for a moment, how long had she been waiting for that!


    It had to be said that the IQ of a woman in love was negative. At this moment, all of Jun Qianyan''s thoughts were on Ninth Master and their date. As for other matters, she didn''t consider them at all.


    Just as Jun Qiyan was about to leave, a pair of hands silently pushed out from behind him.


    And this was what Di Mo Jiu saw when he arrived.


    Di Mo Jiu did not have the time to think about it, he immediately rushed forward and tried to pull Jun Feiyan out.


    No one knew that there was a secret realm within the divine hall. It was the place where many creatures that had passed away during the Great War of Gods and Demons gathered.


    The level of terror was incomparable to the Aphrodisiac Purgatory. It was not that no one had fallen in before, but that no one had been able to walk out of it.


    However, it was too late. Di Mo Jiu could only watch as Jun Qianyan was slowly swallowed up by the darkness.


    Finally, it disappeared.


    Everyone was stunned on the spot. Di Mo Jiu''s bloodshot eyes stared at the spot where Jun Qiyan had disappeared, the killing intent in his eyes couldn''t be quelled for a long time.


    Di Mo Jiu leaped and wanted to follow Jun Qiyan, but he was stopped by Yan Ruyu and Ying Ze, who were behind him.


    Yan Ruyu wanted to hold onto Di Mo Jiu''s hand and remind him that the little girl wouldn''t be able to come back, but when he saw the destructive aura in Di Mo Jiu''s eyes, he still didn''t dare to speak.


    "You ¡­ Who went after the murderer?! Are you counting on the two of us? What kind of dream is this!? "


    Yan Ruyu originally wanted to say ''you''re dead'', but from start to finish, she couldn''t say that word.


    Ingze looked at the current Di Mo Jiu, and he merged with the figure of Yan Ruyu who had lost that man.

 C178

    Heavy clouds covered the sun, and a light rain fell on the muddy water.


    The howls of the magical beasts could be heard in all directions as the sound of the horses slowly came to a stop.


    "Master, there is an unknown female corpse in front of us. Wrong... It seems to still be breathing! "


    A guard wearing beast skins respectfully said to the woman on the beast.


    The woman on horseback had an abnormally heroic expression. Her tall eyebrows and long narrow eyes gave off an invisible pressure.


    "Still breathing?"


    The woman on horseback had a trace of shock in her eyes. She jumped off the horse and took a step forward to check on Jun Qiyan.


    It had to be known that this was the Howling Forest. It was impossible for one person to survive, not to mention the unconscious woman ¡­


    "Lord, you can''t!"


    The guard said nervously, "What if it''s a spy from that side ¡­"


    The woman waved her hand, signaling the guards to back off.


    Seeing this, the guard no longer said anything.


    Nie Baishuang carefully walked forward one step at a time, wanting to see Jun Qiyan''s condition.


    However, when she touched the matter of Jun Qiyan''s figure, her pupils abruptly constricted as if she had seen something extremely shocking.


    "Bring him to the barracks!"


    Nie Baishuang ordered the guards behind her.


    The people behind Nie Baishuang were all stunned. They suspected that there was something wrong with their ears.


    "Lord, you can''t do that! We don''t even know his identity, let alone the fact that we''re in the middle of a battle ¡­"


    That person''s tone was a bit hurried, as he tried to get Nie Baishuang to change her mind, so that he would understand the seriousness of the problem.


    Nie Baishuang''s sharp eyes shot straight at the guard, who had just opened his mouth, carrying an inexhaustible pressure.


    "Are you the boss, or am I the boss? If anything happens, I will take full responsibility of it! "


    With that, Nie Baishuang didn''t say anything more. She mounted the horse and pinched the horse''s belly with her legs, then brought the people behind her to gallop away.


    After Jun Qiyan fell into the abyss, he lost his consciousness, and only the pale face of Di Mo Jiu remained in his mind.


    When Jun Qiyan woke up, the world around her had already changed. Everything was no longer the glorious scene from when she was in the shrine; instead, it was a desolate scene.


    The place she was lying on couldn''t be called a bed at all. It could only be barely called a pile of grass, but not far away, there was a woman sitting on the ground meditating.


    Jun Qiyan''s expression suddenly turned cold as he recalled everything that had happened before he passed out.


    There was a hint of hostility in his tone. "Who are you? Where am I?!"


    Nie Baishuang slowly opened her eyes upon hearing Jun Qiyan''s questioning.


    There was no emotion in those cold eyes.


    "Shouldn''t I be the one to ask you that? I picked you up from the Howling Forest. "


    Nie Baishuang said coldly, her eyes didn''t show any fluctuations.


    Jun Qiyan was startled. The Howling Forest?


    That meant that he was still in the Eastern Xuan Continent ¡­


    "Then, where is this place?"


    When Jun Qiyan heard that he was the one who had been saved, he let down his enmity, but remained vigilant.


    Nie Baishuang gave Jun Qiyan a weird look, but didn''t say anything. Instead, she took out a jade pendant and asked Jun Qiyan, "Where did you get this?!"


    When Jun Qiyan saw the item in Nie Baishuang''s hand, his expression turned cold. No one liked others rummaging through their own items.


    Nie Baishuang seemed to have seen through Jun Qianyan''s dissatisfaction. She shrugged her shoulders and unsincerely explained, "I''m sorry, but this is a war period and your origins are unknown. You can only do this because you want to investigate your identity."


    Even though she said that, Nie Baishuang didn''t have any intention of giving it back to Jun Qiyan.


    Jun Qiyan suspected that there was something wrong with his ears. War era?


    Are you kidding me? How long had she been unconscious, and now she was at war?


    Suddenly, Jun Qianyan froze as if she had thought of something. She quickly turned around and looked at Nie Baishuang, asking somewhat nervously, "What era is it now?"


    Nie Baishuang also froze on the spot. The two of them looked at each other, and an invisible tension appeared in the air.


    "Ahh, hell, the beginning of the Great War of Gods and Demons ¡­"


    Nie Baishuang specially used the name given to this war in the late Eastern Xuan Continent ¡ª Ahh!


    As for the reason why it was called the Avici Infernal Realm, it was because the intensity of this war was not inferior to the horror of the Anascent Hell.


    Nie Baishuang was gambling! She was betting that this girl was the same as her, the only survivor that had fallen from the abyss!


    It was obvious that Jun Qiyan hadn''t disappointed her since the girl''s face had already turned deathly pale the moment she heard about the impending war between the gods and devils.


    How is this possible?!


    It had clearly been nearly ten thousand years since the Great War of Gods and Demons. How could she have managed to arrive at the beginning of the battle of Gods and Demons?


    Although Nie Baishuang had seventy percent confidence in herself, she was still testing it out.


    When Nie Baishuang first saw Jun Qianyan, she started to suspect that he was the same as her; that she was also someone who had fallen into the Profound East Continent.


    One must know that this was the Great War of the Gods and Demons ten thousand years ago. Although it was not at the most desperate moment, the materials were extremely scarce, and the other party was dressed extravagantly. Regardless of whether it was the owner or the style, they were all popular in the Eastern Xuan Continent back then.


    Plus, when he searched her body, he found this token, which meant that she had a seventy percent chance of success ¡­ ¡­.


    "This badge was given to you by Yan Ruyu right?"


    Yan Ruyu?!


    At this moment, Jun Qiyan''s shock was like a giant wave, completely submerging herself.


    Jun Qiyan sat limply on the ground, combing through the massive amount of information.


    If he was told that he was currently on the battlefield of the Great War of Gods and Demons ten thousand years ago, then who was this woman?


    How did she know that Yan Ruyu had given him this token?


    To be more precise, how did she know about Yan Ruyu!


    According to his understanding, Yan Ruyu had appeared at the end of the Great War of Gods and Demons ten thousand years later. It was precisely Yan Ruyu and Yin Ze who had completely turned the tides of the entire battlefield around, bringing the so-called darkened God Tribes back to the God Realm.


    Jun Qiyan felt as if he was dreaming.


    "Who the hell are you? How did you know about Yan Ruyu?! " Even if Jun Qiyan thought about it, she still couldn''t think of a reason. Her sharp gaze shot towards Nie Baishuang, who was standing to the side.


    Nie Baishuang took a deep breath. She also couldn''t believe what was happening in front of her.


    "Because I was the same as you. I fell from the abyss of the divine hall."


    Jun Qianyan was startled. After a moment of silence, she finally accepted the fact that she was back to several tens of thousands of years ago.


    After all, she had already been reborn once.


    The two of them did not speak, as if they were digesting the fact that they had met their fellow villagers.


    Jun Qiyan sighed and took the lead to ask, "How did you come here in the first place?"


    Nie Baishuang''s face turned white, and a hint of coldness appeared in her eyes.


    "Sacrifice." These two words, Nie Baishuang, caused him to clench her teeth.


    Jun Qiyan blanked for a moment, and a trace of sympathy appeared in her eyes as she looked at Nie Baishuang.


    "Let''s not talk about this for now, let me tell you about the situation here." Nie Baishuang pointed at the map on the table.


    According to Nie Baishuang''s words, Jun Qianyan also had a general idea of the situation. In the early stages of the Great War of Gods and Demons, there had only been some friction between the God and Demon races.


    Jun Qiyan''s brows wrinkled like a fried dough twist. According to what the Ninth Master said, and what Nie Baishuang had understood, the situation was as if a traitor had appeared in the God race. They wanted to unify the world and claim the throne, which was why they created the illusion of ''traitors'' to incite internal strife.


    And Di Mo Jiu was obviously the victim of this internal conflict.


    As for now, the situation was that the deities'' traitors started to make a move, and a war between the gods and devils was about to begin.


    We must not let the gods and devils fight!


    If these two races were to fight, then he would definitely be wiped out. Although he was currently in the secret realm, even if he were to stop the war between the gods and devils, it would not change the tragedy half a year ago.


    However, Jun Qianyan held the thought of making her life more comfortable in the future, and also didn''t want war to occur.


    "How long have you been here?"


    Jun Qiyan suddenly realized that she had a very important question, so she asked.

 C179

    As soon as Jun Qianyan finished speaking, Nie Baishuang''s expression lightened.


    "Possibly... It''s almost a thousand years. "


    Jun Qiyan''s eyes immediately widened as she finished her sentence. What?!


    Millennium...


    "But my body has not changed much. The time here may be relatively short.


    Jun Qiyan was startled.


    His face was suddenly filled with worry.


    "Yan Ruyu, is he still well?"


    Nie Baishuang was silent for a long time before she asked.


    Jun Qiyan smiled and nodded. She was getting more and more curious about the relationship between the two of them. "There''s no problem. I don''t have a woman by my side."


    Jun Qiyan''s voice paused for a moment, as if he felt that he couldn''t console Nie Baishuang with the first part. He then added another sentence.


    Nie Baishuang''s face turned red, but she didn''t say anything in the end.


    "Do you know where Di Mo Jiu is now?"


    Jun Qiyan thought about it for a moment. She still felt that finding the Ninth Master and telling him about the conspiracy of the God race was the best plan.


    Surprise flashed across Nie Baishuang''s face. She shook her head and said with a strange expression, "Are you talking about the Demon Lord?"


    Regardless of whether it was ten thousand years ago or ten thousand years later, those who dared to become a Demon Lord''s life were few and far between.


    Jun Qiyan nodded.


    "The current Ninth Master ¡­" "It might be different from the Ninth Master you know."


    Nie Baishuang''s face was a little ugly. The person she belonged to was none other than Di Mo Jiu.


    With her current rank, she was not qualified to meet Di Mo Jiu.


    The current Di Mo Jiu was completely different from the Di Mo Jiu in his impression of him. Although the original Di Mo Jiu was cold, he could still be considered gentle towards people, at least he wouldn''t have a cold face every day, and would show signs of getting angry at any time.


    Other people might not know the reason, but Nie Baishuang and Jun Qianyan were clear that Di Mo Jiu definitely had to demonize his opponent.


    Jun Qiyan''s expression changed. He had to find Ninth Gongzi as soon as possible!


    Nie Baishuang seemed to have clearly seen through Jun Qiyan''s thoughts.


    After frowning for a moment, she continued, "I have a way to let you meet Di Mo Jiu, but ¡­"


    Nie Baishuang seemed to be afraid of something, and didn''t finish her words in one breath.


    "But what?!" Jun Qiyan asked


    Nie Baishuang sighed and continued, "It''s just that this method is very risky. Demon Lord, every 15th month, I would go to a little village outside the mountain. However, right now, ten thousand years ago, the Demon Sovereign obviously didn''t know who you are, and what I know the Demon Sovereign hates the most is people spying on him. "


    Nie Baishuang''s words were like a bucket of cold water, completely watering Jun Qiyan.


    Jun Qiyan gritted his teeth. Was he waiting for an encounter?! She wasn''t waiting for a chance encounter, so she didn''t know how long it would take. She didn''t have the time to waste here.


    He might as well go all out. If he didn''t even dare to take the risk, what right did he have to stop this war between Gods and Demons?!


    "What''s the date today?" Jun Qiyan asked.


    Nie Baishuang saw that Jun Qiyan had made up her mind, so she didn''t make a sound to stop him. "Number 14."


    Jun Qiyan''s heart tightened. Was it tomorrow?


    "By the way, I still don''t know your name." Jun Qiyan softly asked as she raised her head to look at Nie Baishuang, who was standing beside her.


    "Nie Baishuang."


    The night was dark, and with the occasional thundering sound, the light rain turned into a heavy downpour, as if raindrops were falling on Jun Qiyan''s heart.


    There was an indescribable feeling.


    When she thought about meeting with Ninth Master tomorrow, she couldn''t help but feel complicated in her heart.


    The next morning.


    Initially, he had wanted to go to the small town with Jun Qianyan, but she had refused him. It was just as Nie Baishuang had said; right now, Ninth Master was a very dangerous person. No one knew when he would go berserk.


    If he really did die at the hands of Ninth Master ¡­


    Jun Qiyan shook his head as he tried to expel all these impractical thoughts from his mind.


    Arriving at the small town that Nie Baishuang mentioned, Jun Qianyan looked around and didn''t see any difference in other small towns.


    Jun Qiyan sat within the buddhist temple at the entrance of the small town, waiting for Di Mo Jiu''s appearance.


    It could be seen that this temple had been taken care of by someone all year round, and there was even this tribute on the table.


    The statue of the Buddha had a benevolent smile on its face.


    Jun Qiyan only glanced at him a few times, not paying too much attention to him.


    After an unknown period of time, Jun Qiyan was already drowsy. The door was just opened with a creak.


    Jun Qiyan''s whole body was startled, and he hurriedly hid behind the Buddha statue.


    Emperor Mo Jiu from ten thousand years ago had the same face as the Ninth Master that Jun Qiyan had met. However, the cold aura exuded from his body made Jun Qiyan shudder.


    His deep eyes were filled with endless coldness. Jun Qiyan narrowed her eyes. According to what Nie Baishuang had said, Di Mo Jiu was already gone ¡­


    At the edge of demonification, Jun Qiyan had discovered the presence of devilish energy on Di Mo Jiu''s body.


    She frowned. This was not good news.


    Jun Qiyan did not make an appearance. If the Ninth Master was unhappy and really killed her, then she really wouldn''t have any place to cry.


    Thinking of this, Jun Qiyan shrunk her neck back.


    Di Moyu did not notice Jun Qiyan''s presence. He sat on a cushion in front of the Buddha statue and poured himself a cup of wine, quietly drinking it. Seeing this scene, Jun Qianyan was suddenly at a loss.


    The Ninth Master wasn''t usually a greedy person, and even if he did drink, why would he drink in front of the Buddha statue?


    "Ba Qing, did something happen to your brain?"


    The previously quiet surroundings were suddenly cut off by Di Mo Jiu''s mumbling. Jun Qianyan''s eyes widened as she subconsciously looked around. When she was certain that there was no one around, her heart that was suspended in midair relaxed a little.


    "Aren''t you usually the one who is most afraid of death? Why did it end up like you died first? Do you think you can become a hero just because you died? Let me tell you, those who died in this chaotic world were cowards! "Only a hero can survive!"


    Di Mo Jiu took a sip of the wine, his face had an abnormal red color, he was obviously a little drunk.


    Jun Qiyan was infected by Di Mo Jiu''s sorrowful mood. He absentmindedly recalled the scene of himself being hunted down before he teleported to a different world.


    It wasn''t that she didn''t have any companions at that time, but they all died one after another, leaving her alone. In this chaotic world, dying was very simple, but surviving was very difficult.


    Later on, when Di Mo Jiu said something, Jun Qiyan could no longer hear it clearly.


    The intense headache caused Jun Qiyan''s consciousness to gradually become blurry.


    Just as Jun Qiyan was about to lose all consciousness, she suddenly felt a sharp pain between her eyebrows, and her rationality quickly returned.


    There was something fishy about this!


    Jun Qiyan frowned as he looked at Ninth Elder, who was standing not far from him. A layer of black fog had surrounded Di Mo Jiu.


    Di Mo Jiu sat on the ground with his head lowered, exuding a dark purple glow. Jun Qiyan''s face suddenly turned pale white.


    This was a sign of becoming a devil!

 C180

    Jun Qiyan didn''t care about anything else as he ran out from behind the Buddha statue, wanting to wake Di Mo Jiu up.


    However, before Jun Qiyan could even touch Di Mo Jiu''s body, he discovered that he was unable to move at all. His eyes which were originally closed as a Buddha statue had already opened.


    Her scarlet eyes seemed to be conscious of something as she stared unsmoothly at Jun Qiyan''s face.


    A strange laughter came from his mouth, "Jejejeje."


    Jun Qiyan''s face was completely devoid of blood. Just what was this thing!?


    At this time, Jun Qiyan could no longer truly believe that this was a Buddha statue.


    Jun Qiyan gnashed her teeth, she knew that her body had been frozen in place. She gritted her teeth. If she tried to break through forcefully, her meridians would be completely destroyed.


    But if he didn''t ¡­


    Even if one''s cultivation base was close to being crippled, it was still better than dying here.


    The Buddha statue stretched out his thick arms, slowly reaching out to Jun Qiyan.


    Jun Qiyan forcefully used his spirit power to break the seal on his body.


    "Pfft!"


    Scarlet blood spewed out of Jun Qiyan''s mouth, and devilish blood blossomed on the ground.


    Jun Qiyan moved his body, turned sideways, and lunged towards Di Mo Jiu. Di Mo Jiu''s consciousness was occupied for a relatively long period of time, and was interrupted by Jun Mo Xie. It took him a while before he could react.


    At this time, Jun Qiyan was already entangled with the Buddha statue


    That Buddha statue was created by a Highgod, and even if it was an incomplete shell supported by the remnant soul, it was still many times stronger than Jun Qiyan.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Every place the Buddha statues mentioned had been turned into ruins.


    Jun Qianyan had no way to resist at all. She could only turn to Di Mo Jiu at the side for help.


    Di Mo Jiu was completely stunned. The reason why he would come here on the 15th of every month was because his good friend''s soul was here. And he and your soul were personally sealed by him on this Buddha statue.


    However, this scene in front of him was something that Di Mo Jiu couldn''t accept.


    He could not believe that this murderous monster in front of him was a good friend of his.


    In that split-second when Di Mo Jiu was stunned, Jun Qianyan was hit by the Buddha statue''s attack. Her entire body flew out of the temple in a parabola, colliding three meters away into the three meter wide temple.


    The violent sound brought Di Mo Jiu back to reality.


    The Buddha statue''s eyes were blood-red, and a piece of white bone was spat out from the corner of its mouth. Its sinister laughter reverberated throughout the entire hall.


    Di Mo and Di Jiu clenched their fists, their eyes were frighteningly cold.


    Di Mo Jiu raised his fist, its speed was so fast that people could not even catch the afterimage, with a single strike, it shattered the Buddha statue. Di Mo Jiu took a deep breath, looked at the black object floating in the air, took a deep breath, turned around and looked at Jun Qianyan three meters away, his eyes squinted.


    Jun Qiyan didn''t know how long she had been unconscious. When she woke up again, she felt as if her entire body had been run over by a truck; her head was splitting apart.


    Jun Qiyan''s face was pale. He knew where he was in the room, but then he felt something was wrong. Jun Qiyan''s brows suddenly twisted.


    He wanted to get off the bed, but his whole body could not move.


    "You''re awake?" To be suddenly opened by someone, a clear and cold female voice rang out next to Jun Qiyan''s ear. Following that, an exquisite face with an indifferent complexion appeared in front of Yan Ruyu''s eyes.


    With difficulty, Jun Qianyan turned her head to look at the person at the door. Then, his pupils constricted; it was obvious that he had received an extreme shock.


    She had seen this face before! Back then, when he was with Saint Silkworm, Di Mo Jiu''s illusion was that woman''s face!


    Jun Qiyan''s breath caught in her throat as the alarm in her heart rang.


    It was unknown whether it was because Jun Qiyan''s emotions had been exposed, or because the woman''s ability to observe people was too outstanding.


    "Have we met before? You don''t like me. "


    The first half of the sentence was a question, while the second half was affirmation.


    The embarrassment on Jun Qiyan''s face was not exposed. Instead, she turned her face to the side, confirming the woman''s words.


    "What''s wrong?" Di Mo Jiu walked in, breaking the invisible awkwardness in the air.


    Chu Shan smiled gently as she spoke of her previous indifference towards Jun Qiyan, a gentle smile appearing on her face. She glanced at Jun Qiyan indifferently, then turned around and spoke to Di Mo Jiu at her side.


    "Nothing you brought back. This woman just woke up." Chu Shan bit down on the word ''woman'' with the expression of a jealous little woman.


    Di Mo Jiu''s lips curved up in a smile that he hadn''t seen for a long time. He used his index finger to scratch Chu Ran''s nose, looking very doting.


    This scene was completely captured in the depths of Jun Qiyan''s eyes. She only felt as if her heart had been ruthlessly pinched by an invisible hand.


    Since when did Ninth Master treat me like this? But now, all of it belonged to that woman called Chu Ran.


    Jun Qiyan sniffed, knowing that she had no say in the matter. The pain in her body did not allow her to think about anything else.


    At this time, Di Mo Jiu could turn his attention to Jun Qiyan who was lying on the bed. He narrowed his eyes and asked with a voice as cold as ice, "What is your purpose?"


    Seeing the ice-cold look in Di Mo Jiu''s eyes, Jun Qiyan gave a faint smile, turned around and asked, "Is this how you treat your savior?" If not for me, you would have been a corpse by now! "


    Once finished, Jun Qiyan raised an eyebrow at Di Mo Jiu as if demonstrating something.


    Di Mo Jiu''s face suddenly turned even more unsightly. However, he couldn''t help but admit that Jun Qianyan was speaking the truth. If it wasn''t for this little girl, he would have already been killed by that monster.


    Thinking of this, Di Mo Jiu''s face turned slightly better, but there was still a trace of coldness on his face.


    Jun Qiyan forced herself not to look at Di Mo Jiu''s biting cold. "Can you give me a glass of water?"


    Jun Qiyan felt as if his throat was about to split open.


    Di Mo Jiu narrowed his eyes and personally poured a cup for Jun Feiyan.


    After drinking a cup of tea, Jun Qiyan felt much more comfortable. However, the pain on her body still hadn''t been alleviated in the slightest.


    As an alchemist, Jun Qiyan was well aware of her current situation. If she didn''t receive treatment in time, she would most likely die.


    "Save me!" Ji Qiyan''s clear eyes looked straight at Di Mo Jiu. Di Mo Jiu frowned and sneered, then said with a slight disdain, "Where did you get your confidence from? I was the one who showed great mercy to you by letting you die in that ravine, and you actually want me to use pills to save you? "


    Jun Qiyan frowned.


    "I saved your life. If you save me once, we''re even." Jun Qiyan reminded Di Mo Jiu once again that he had saved him.


    Di Mo Jiu obviously didn''t care about his words, but he sneered and continued to ridicule him, "You are just meddling in other people''s business. Did I say anything about asking you to save me?"


    His words caused Jun Qiyan to become speechless. Jun Qianyan secretly clenched his fists, but a smile still appeared on his face.


    "I won''t let you save me for nothing. I am an alchemist. You are showing signs of turning into a demon now, aren''t you?" Jun Qiyan raised his eyebrows and said.


    He had originally thought that saying so would allow Di Mo Jiu to save his life. He hadn''t thought that Di Mo Jiu would suddenly have a cold gleam in his eyes, his killing intent undisguised.

 C181

    Even the expression on Chu Ran''s face, who had been silent and pretending to be invisible, changed as she looked at Jun Qiyan with a bit more killing intent.


    Jun Qiyan''s heart thumped.


    He wanted to speak up for her, but Di Mo Jiu''s figure had already appeared in front of her at the speed of light. A pair of big, powerful hands had unknowingly landed on her delicate neck.


    "He said he sent you here?!"


    Not many people knew about his demonification. This unknown woman had first saved his life and then offered to demonize him. Anyone would be suspicious upon hearing this, not to mention the current Di Mo Jiu.


    The shadow of death instantly enveloped Jun Qiyan''s neck. He could feel that this Di Mo Jiu really wanted to kill her.


    Jun Qiyan''s heart was suddenly filled with mixed emotions. He had never imagined that one day, Di Mo Jiu would treat him like this.


    The woman behind Di Mo Jiu knitted her eyebrows as if she had thought of something.


    "Mo Jiu can''t die yet. At the very least, I have to use this woman to find the mastermind behind this." Chu Ran looked coldly at Jun Qiyan who was lying on the bed.


    Di Mo Jiu, your eyes are thinking about what Chu Ran just said.


    After that, he coldly snorted and ruthlessly shook off Jun Qiyan, his eyes filled with a trace of unabated ruthlessness. "Wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu


    Jun Qiyan breathed heavily. He suddenly felt very wronged in his heart. One day, he had actually pleaded for mercy from another woman in order to survive under Di Mo Jiu''s hand. How ironic and laughable!


    "That''s right, you can''t die now, and you should still think it through." Di Mo Jiu''s face relaxed a little as he turned to the woman beside him and looked at Jun Qianyan, who was lying on the bed with a ruthless look on her face.


    Jun Qiyan''s face was pale as a sheet, but he said nothing.


    "But don''t think too much about it. Don''t worry, I will definitely let you experience what it means to live a life worse than death!" Di Mo Jiu threw down those words and shouted, "Men, use the best medicine to cure this woman!"


    Was it better to live than to die ¡­?


    Jun Qiyan''s eyes were hollow, and his heart was already numb from the pain. What he said with this face of the Ninth Master was truly annoying ¡­


    Once Di Mo Jiu finished his sentence, three alchemists quickly appeared before Jun Qianyan.


    Several high-quality medicinal pills appeared in front of Jun Qiyan.


    Every single pill was a type of medicine that Jun Qiyan had never seen before.


    The quality would also be so high that it would make people click their tongues.


    He almost forgot himself. This was before the Great War of Gods and Demons ten thousand years ago. Regardless of whether it was high level alchemists or various pill formulas, they were all far richer than the Eastern Xuan Continent ten thousand years ago.


    Jun Qiyan felt much better after taking the pill.


    His pale face turned slightly pale.


    "Men, lock him in the water prison. Without my permission, no one is allowed to let her out!"


    The ice-cold, bone-piercing water caused Jun Qiyan''s entire body to feel extremely uncomfortable. However, when it came to the iron chains tied around her feet, she was completely unable to move.


    In her heart, she was secretly regretting. She had said the wrong things back then, but there was no medicine for regret in this world.


    Jun Qiyan was in the water prison, gazing into the distance as his thoughts gradually cleared. How was the Ninth Master right now?


    The Ninth Master that Jun Qianyan was thinking of was obviously not the one who wanted to strangle him and lock him in the water prison.


    She was thinking about Di Mo Jiu of the Eastern Xuan Continent.


    "Smile a beauty for me." A sweet and familiar voice came from the shore next to Jun Qiyan''s ear.


    Jun Qiyan''s entire body shook. She raised her head and saw a familiar figure. She was immediately moved to tears.


    That person was none other than the Octadic Snake.


    Jun Qiyan had been contracted with the Baji Snake for such a long time that he naturally knew everything about the Baji Snake, and was extremely clear about its nature.


    Although the Octadic Snake looked mighty and mighty, he was actually trembling. Of course, only Jun Qiyan knew about this sort of thing.


    Furthermore, she remembered that Di Mo Jiu''s 12 protectors should be referring to the Great Snake Ba Qi and Queen Medusa.


    "What are you looking at? If you keep looking, I''ll dig out your eyeballs." Jun Qiyan said fiercely.


    The Octadic Snake''s interest was immediately piqued. A mere human actually dared to spout such arrogant words.


    "Tell me how to dig out my eyeballs." The Octadic Snake stood on the shore and raised its eyebrows provocatively.


    Jun Qiyan rolled his eyes on the spot.


    "If you let me out, I know how to change the fate of your Demon Lord."


    After Demon Lord had spoken, the expression on the face of the Octadic Snake underwent a subtle change.


    These two words were only meant for the subordinates and Di Mo Jiu was extremely disgusted with the devils.


    Thus, he wouldn''t allow them to call him that.


    But how did he know the title of Demon Lord?


    The Octadic Snake put away his previous uninhibited attitude and felt that it was a bit serious.


    "I advise you not to play any tricks. You know that I have the ability to instantly kill you."


    Jun Qiyan narrowed her eyes in the face of the threat of the Octadic Snake, then continued, "I naturally know this. I don''t want to die yet."


    The current Baji Snake was at its peak, so it was on a completely different level from Jun Qiyan.


    Although Di Mo Jiu had repeatedly told Jun Qianyan to not let anyone else go except him, but the domineering God was born to be unrestrained and unrestrained.


    Just like what Di Mo Jiu said, it was thrown out of his mind.


    "Release her. I have something to ask her." The Octadic Snake said as he called over the guard guarding Jun Qiyan.


    The bodyguard was timid. She looked at the Great God of Brazil for a night before looking at Jun Qiyan in the water prison.


    With some hesitation, he opened his mouth and said, "Your highness said that he did not carry out his decree ¡­"


    Before the guard could finish his sentence, the Octadic Snake impatiently interrupted him, "If I tell you to open it, then open it. If anything happens, I will take full responsibility. If you do not, then I will smash this water prison."


    The guard looked at the face of the big snake and swallowed his saliva with some difficulty.


    Jun Qiyan only smiled as he looked at the scene in front of him. He hadn''t chosen the wrong person.


    If the person who had come was Queen Medusa, she would definitely not have the chance to leave.


    When Jun Qiyan had successfully left the water, the Octadic Snake looked at her warily and asked, "What you said before ¡­"


    Jun Qiyan waved his hand and said, "Not only do I know about your demonification, I also know that it''s something that the God race is working on."


    The Octadic Snake opened his mouth in shock. All of this was a secret, how could a mere mortal like him know so much? Could it be that the other party had sent a spy?


    Although the Octadic Snake sometimes had an IQ that wasn''t online, it didn''t mean that he was really stupid. After all, how could he possibly be considered an ordinary character if he was accepted by Di Mo Jiu as a protector?


    "I can see into the past and see into the future." Jun Qiyan was lying with his eyes wide open, not blushing at all.


    The Octadic Snake was startled for a moment, then his face flushed red, as if he was extremely angry: "You think I''m stupid?! Do you have any proof? "


    Jun Qianyan impolitely nodded in her heart. She just thought he was stupid.


    "Evidence huh ¡­" Jun Qiyan rubbed his chin. "I know when you were eight hundred years old, you peeped at the female toilet next door."


    As soon as Jun Qianyan finished her sentence, the handsome face of the Baji Snake immediately flushed red.


    He pointed at the person in front of him in shock and stammered, "How did you know?!" If Di Mo Jiu Hei was a secret, then when he was 800 years old, he peeked at the female toilet next door. This was a secret amongst secrets.


    Other than the Octadic Snake himself, no one else knew about this.

 C182

    Jun Qiyan looked at the familiar face with interest.


    He couldn''t help but laugh in his heart.


    "So you believe me now?" Jun Qiyan asked instead of answering.


    The Octadic Snake nodded its head stiffly, feeling anxious all of a sudden. If this woman could really figure out the past and foresee the future, then wouldn''t it mean that it would be impossible for her to have any privacy in front of this guy? Jun Qi Fen


    Jun Qiyan rolled his eyes at the Octadic Snake without a trace of politeness, as if he was looking at a fool, "I think your past also requires energy, alright? I''m not a peeping Tom, and I''m not interested in your little things that are at least as big as mung beans. "


    The Baji Snake felt that Jun Qiyan''s words made sense, but also felt that he was being overly calculative, so his face suddenly turned red.


    It was already night time. Jun Qiyan looked at the sky full of stars, then looked at the foolish and adorable huge snakes around him.


    "Are you going to let me talk to you all night and come back in the morning?"


    Jun Qiyan raised an eyebrow and asked.


    The Octavo Snake froze. It was only then that he remembered that Jun Qianyan was completely drenched.


    "You can stay over with me tonight."


    The Octadic Snake thought for a moment and then said. It was already a violation of the law to release people without obtaining the deepest order, just finding a place for this little girl to live was simply blatantly slapping his own big brother''s face. He still wanted to live a few more days.


    Jun Qiyan nodded. Naturally, she understood that this was a difficult situation for him, so she didn''t continue to make things difficult for him.


    After making up their minds, the two of them arrived at the residence of the Octadic Snake.


    The two of them were woken up by the noise until dawn.


    As soon as Jun Qiyan opened his eyes, he saw an enlarged face in front of him. That person was none other than the Octadic Snake who had risked his life to save him last night.


    Jun Qianyan''s face darkened as he shoved the person in front of him. He didn''t forget to mutter under his breath, "Being so close to me, you''re scaring me to death so early in the morning."


    The Baji Snake didn''t care about the attitude of the other party. He pulled up Jun Qiyan who was lying on the bed.


    "Boss has come looking for us. You should think of something." The door was kicked open as Brazil''s big hand pulled Jun Qiyan away.


    After which, Di Mo Jiu''s cold face appeared in front of the two.


    His cold gaze coincidentally fell on the arm of the Baji Snake, which was holding Jun Qiyan''s hand.


    There was nothing wrong with his actions, but now that Jun Qiyan was in a state of disarray, from the point of view of God Mo Jiu at home, she had turned into a great snake and Jun Qiyan being intimate. She even wanted to kiss him good morning.


    Di Mo Jiu''s face instantly turned black as a piece of black iron, which also contained an ice-cold feeling, and he couldn''t wait to tear this body into ten thousand pieces. He gnashed his teeth and said word by word, "Your worm brain?"


    Jun Qiyan and Uncle Ba Yan were both shocked. The two of them had obviously never heard of Di Mo Jiu who was swearing like this before.


    In Jun Qiyan''s memory, Di Mo Jiu had always been a domineering and indifferent god that was aloof and untouchable. Occasionally, he would utter a vulgar word that would make Jun Qiyan feel a sense of novelty.


    Compared to Jun Qiyan''s relatively relaxed state, the Octadic Snake was completely flustered by now. He let go of Jun Qianyan''s hand and hurriedly explained, "Old Boss, there''s really nothing going on between her and me!"


    His relatives could see that they were very innocent, so they said that they had indeed gone to Jun Qiyan in the first place because they had heard that the new prisoner was a beauty, but nothing had really happened between them.


    "Hurry up and explain yourself." The Octadic Snake nervously poked Jun Qiyan.


    Jun Qiyan curled her lips, tightly holding the huge snake next to her and looking at Di Mo Jiu with a face full of provocation.


    The Octadic Snake had fooled this girl, what was going on? Even if I want to die, I shouldn''t drag him down with me.


    Di Mo Jiu''s cold eyes were filled with killing intent. He stared at the two men in front of him and sneered with ridicule, "Truly great skill. You have already ''slept'' my capable subordinates within a night after coming here."


    The word ''sleep'' was bitten especially hard, and the meaning behind it was self-evident.


    No matter who this girl slept with, it had nothing to do with him, but why did he feel that this scene was so dazzling?!


    At this moment, a certain great lord was in a very bad mood. He squinted his eyes and attributed all his faults to the Baji Snake.


    "Go out and receive your punishment!" The sound of Di Mo Jiu''s teeth chattering could be heard.


    The face of the huge serpent changed. The ghostly wails and wolfish howls from Di Mo Jiu were all glared back by him, after which, he shut his mouth tightly, not daring to make another sound, knowing that he was in the wrong.


    The Octadic Snake obediently walked out of the room, leaving behind only Di Mo Jiu and Jun Qiyan. Jun Qianyan uncomfortably moved backwards a few times, bit her lips, and softly said, "Can you go out for a bit? I''ll change my clothes."


    As yesterday''s daughter doctrine was only in the water prison, the clothes that Jun Qiyan is now wearing are the clothes of the Baji Snake.


    The girl''s wide sleeves looked rather comical, just like a naughty child who had secretly worn the clothes of an adult.


    In addition to the fact that she had just woken up, her beautiful figure was not completely covered by the cannon. Looking down at the girl''s beautiful figure, it could be said that there was nothing that could be seen from a girl''s point of view.


    Di Mo Jiu''s throat was slightly rolling, a weird look flashed in his eyes. Thinking of this scene, Di Mo Jiu''s face flashed with a trace of disgust after the fight with the Baji Snake last night.


    "I''m afraid that countless men have touched your body. I can''t do much even if you have me." Di Mo Jiu said viciously, not realizing how hurtful his words were.


    Jun Qiyan stood rooted to the spot, unable to believe that the words he had just spoken were actually spoken by Di Mo Jiu. His entire body began to tremble. Anger was written all over his pretty face, and tears welled up in his eyes.


    Di Mo Jiu looked at Jun Qiyan''s reaction, and his heart was getting more and more agitated. Did he say anything wrong? It''s ridiculous to want to set up a memorial archway as a whore.


    Di Mo Jiu did not know why, but he told her what was on his mind, "Don''t build a memorial arch when you''re a whore, it''s disgusting."


    Jun Qiyan was originally angry, but at this moment, his entire body was trembling with rage.


    "Pah!"


    A crisp sound exploded in the surroundings. Jun Qiyan clenched her fists tightly as she glared furiously at the person before her.


    It took Di Mo Jiu a while to realize that he had been beaten up by this woman.


    Di Mo Jiu had lived for so many years, and this was the first time he had been hit by a woman, and it was also the first time he had been slapped in the face!


    This was something that Di Mo Jiu couldn''t accept for a while.


    A trace of ruthlessness flashed across Di Mo Jiu''s eyes as he pressed Jun Qianyan against the wall beside him.


    "I don''t have the habit of not fighting with women."


    Di Mo Jiu''s eyes were rolling while his chest was rising and falling.


    It was only then that Jun Qianyan realized what he had just done ¨C he had actually slapped the Ninth Master in the face?!


    Jun Qiyan''s face paled as he recalled the extent of this man''s grudge. He suddenly felt like he had nothing left to live for.


    "What are you two doing?" Chu Ran walked in abruptly and looked coldly at Jun Qiyan, who was being forced down by Di Mo Jiu.


    Once Di Mo Jiu saw who it was, he hurriedly let go of Jun Feiyan.


    A hint of ridicule flashed across Jun Qianyan''s mouth. Was this really the person who caught her in the act?


    Chu Ran looked at the two in front of her. She didn''t intend to ask further, but her expression betrayed his current mood.


    Di Mo Jiu An was vexed over his actions.

    "Go out and receive your punishment!" The sound of Di Mo Jiu''s teeth chattering could be heard.


    The face of the huge serpent changed. The ghostly wails and wolfish howls from Di Mo Jiu were all glared back by him, after which, he shut his mouth tightly, not daring to make another sound, knowing that he was in the wrong.

    Once Di Mo Jiu saw who it was, he hurriedly let go of Jun Feiyan.


    A hint of ridicule flashed across Jun Qianyan''s mouth. Was this really the person who caught her in the act?


    Chu Ran looked at the two in front of her. She didn''t intend to ask further, but her expression betrayed his current mood.


    Di Mo Jiu An was vexed over his actions.


    "Report!"


    Di Mo Jiu looked at this person with an unfriendly expression, but when he took a closer look, his expression couldn''t help but change a few times.


    One of the guards'' arms had disappeared, and blood was still dripping from his wounds. He looked extremely frightening ¡­


    Chu Ran''s face turned pale. She had received quite a few times of fear for her appearance, but Jun Qiyan, who was at the side, did not have any reaction to this. She had seen much more miserable situations than this.


    Di Mo Jiu couldn''t stop comforting Chu Ran; he slapped on the table and asked anxiously, "What''s going on?"


    That person''s face was pale. He was sweating so much that he could barely hold on as he said to Di Mo Jiu, "There''s a mysterious army outside. We can''t hold on much longer."


    "How is this possible?" Di Mo Jiu could only feel that the words spoken by the old man were rather absurd.


    He was very clear on the toughness of his city wall, and as such, it was not an exaggeration to say that his city wall was made of steel.


    That person''s face was pale as he explained the situation.


    "That is very respectful. I don''t know what was placed on our walls, but it easily created holes in our walls. The army is about to attack."


    Di Mo Jiu could not be bothered with Jun Qianyan anymore, he immediately turned around and walked out of the room.


    Jun Qiyan gazed at the back view of Di Mo Jiu as he left, deep in thought. She too wanted to turn around and see what was going on.


    However, they were stopped by Chu Ran.


    "Who are you?" Chu Ran narrowed her eyes and looked at Jun Qiyan.


    The first time he saw this woman, Ninth Master had already wanted to kill her. He had thought that the "people from there" would send him reinforcements, but now it didn''t seem like it.


    She didn''t have the slightest bit of good will towards her love rival.


    "Who am I to you has nothing to do with you? Miss Chu still had her sweetheart in her sights, so she didn''t want me to make a fool of myself. These words are a complete provocation. "


    Chu Ran raised her eyebrows as a flash of killing intent appeared in her eyes. She then raised her head and looked at Jun Qiyan, and saw that she had already disappeared without a trace.


    Jun Qiyan came to Di Mo Jiu''s side and was about to say something, but was cut off by Di Mo Jiu.


    "What are you doing here?! Who allowed you to come?! "


    Does this damned girl know what''s going on right now? Do you think war is playing house?


    Faced with Di Mo Jiu''s scolding, Jun Qiyan felt wronged. She still maintained her stubborn attitude.


    "Am I not coming here to wait for your trash to be destroyed by the enemy?"


    Jun Qiyan was no less imposing than Di Mo Jiu, and there was a certain coldness in his eyes ¡­

 C184

    Di Mo Jiu laughed coldly as he felt that Jun Qiyan was just bluffing. What kind of ability could a little girl have?


    Jun Qiyan ignored Di Mo Jiu''s contemptuous look. She looked around and saw a dense crowd of people from the God Tribes.


    Jun Qiyan frowned. She remembered that this war was ambushed by the god race. A traitor of the devil race had exposed the whereabouts of the devil god. This time, the devil race had been defeated, and even Di Mo Jiu was seriously injured.


    Jun Qiyan took a deep breath as he thought to himself, I must stop this war.


    Di Mo Jiu looked at the people below the city wall, his face looked even more unsightly.


    "Report!" Demon Lord, we won''t be able to hold on much longer. "


    Di Mo Jiu''s eyes were filled with killing intent.


    "Your Highness, if we allow the God race to complete the array, we will all lose our lives here!"


    Some people could not help but look outside the city gate at the huge magical formation that had already formed at some point, and could not help but speak out.


    As soon as Ji Hao finished his words, the whole battlefield fell silent. Everyone looked at Di Mo Jiu in tacit understanding, waiting for their master to bring them out of this predicament.


    Di Mo Jiu''s face was gloomy, and he couldn''t say anything for a long time. He knew clearly in his heart that he had been set up by someone!


    Jun Qiyan glared at Di Mo Jiu, then sternly said, "What are you still standing there for? Waiting for the god race to break in? We all lost our lives here? "


    Faced with Jun Qiyan''s questioning, the expression in Di Mo Jiu''s eyes turned even darker. If looks could kill, then Jun Qiyan would have died tens of thousands of times already.


    "I know of a way to break the God race''s array."


    Jun Qianyan frowned and continued.


    Di Mo Jiu sneered, his face filled with disdain, "Do you think this is playing house?"


    Jun Qiyan ignored Di Mo Jiu''s taunts and continued, "As long as we add in a little bit of demonic energy when the God Clan is about to succeed, the God Clan will suffer a crushing defeat."


    After Jun Qiyan finished speaking, everyone looked at each other and felt that this method was quite mystical. Many people were suspecting Jun Qianyan''s identity.


    Putting everything aside, just this little girl''s fearless attitude towards Lord Demon Lord made her a part of heaven and earth. One must know that even that little girl did not dare ¡­


    Di Mo Jiu''s eyes slightly narrowed as he looked straight at Jun Qianyan, "How do I know that you''re not a spy sent by the God race?!"


    Jun Qianyan wasn''t angry; instead, his tone carried a trace of ridicule. "If I wanted you to die, would you have lived until now?"


    What big words!


    The crowd looked at Jun Qiyan in admiration, they knew that it would not be easy for this little girl to survive until now.


    The corners of Di Mo Jiu''s mouth twitched, he did not expose the misleading words spoken by Jun Yunzhi on purpose.


    "Do as she says!" Di Mo Jiu said in a cold voice.


    Everyone on the side had their eyes wide open. Some of them wanted to question him, but they swallowed their words when they saw the cold eyes of their great demon god.


    Di Mo Jiu walked step by step in front of Jun Qiyan, lowered his head, and whispered in her ear, "You better pray that you''re not a spy sent by the God race, otherwise I''ll definitely let you know what it means to beg for your life, to not be able to die!"


    Jun Qiyan forced a smile on his face as he turned his other hand towards Di Mo Jiu''s resolute face. His expression was as if he was looking at a lover who had been in love for many years, "Don''t worry, I still don''t have the heart to let you die so early."


    Di Mo Jiu''s brows scrunched up tightly as he shook Jun Qianyan away in disgust. He turned around and looked at the situation outside the city gate.


    Jun Qiyan absentmindedly looked at Di Mo Jiu''s voice as it gradually became distant, his expression gloomy and unreadable.


    Just when Jun Qiyan was in a daze, he suddenly appeared on his face.


    She looked disdainfully at Jun Qiyan, who had fallen to the ground. Her red lips slightly parted as she silently cursed, "Bitch."


    Jun Qiyan narrowed her eyes, and smiled at him. That smile seemed to make the world lose its color.


    A hint of jealousy flashed past her eyes as she glared at Jun Feiyan. She snorted coldly, turned around, and left.


    Below the city gate, golden beams of light scattered the dark clouds, and the surroundings became as bright as day.


    A huge formation was gradually formed under the city gate.


    Di Mo Jiu narrowed his eyes, a wisp of black mist rose from his fingertip and floated towards the god race''s direction.


    After doing so, he was submerged by the sacred golden light.


    One, two ¡­


    "Damned woman ¡­" Di Mo and Di Jiu''s eyes were filled with killing intent. Before he finished his threat, a huge explosion was heard, and huge waves were sent flying.


    Following that, a series of explosions could be heard.


    After an unknown amount of time, the sounds of explosions had completely disappeared. Jun Feiyan cleared her throat as she looked around for Di Mo Jiu.


    The combination of divine power and magical power would cause an explosion that would not be discovered until tens of thousands of years later.


    Jun Qiyan had only heard about it, but she hadn''t thought that its true power would be so great. Looking down from the top of the city walls, one could see that the city had been blown up, and the corpses of the Celestial soldiers were scattered everywhere.


    "Cough, cough." Di Mo Jiu coughed violently, using this incredible gaze to look at his surroundings.


    After that, he shot a complicated look at Jun Qiyan, and narrowed his dangerous eyes slightly.


    Jun Qiyan''s heart skipped a beat. He couldn''t help but feel a bit regretful as he thought back to the last time he had tried so hard to curry favor with her.


    This bastard couldn''t possibly lock him up in the water prison, right?!


    "Heavens, this is simply a miracle. Who would have thought that the combination of mana and divine power would produce such a huge power?!"


    "That''s right ¡­" Where''s that young lady! He''s our savior! "


    The survivors were all talking among themselves, excitedly looking at Jun Qianyan as if they were their savior.


    Little did they know that the more excited they got, the uglier their lord''s expression became.


    Jun Qiyan heaved a sigh of relief. He knew that even if Di Mo Jiu was dissatisfied with him, he still wouldn''t dare to act against him now.


    "What''s your name?" Di Mo Jiu''s eyes narrowed. Just as he was about to address Jun Qianyan, he realized that he didn''t even know her name.


    Jun Qiyan raised an eyebrow, contemplated for a moment, and finally voiced out his real name. "Jun Qiyan."


    Di Mo Jiu turned around and looked at his subordinates, "I declare that from today onwards, Jun Qiyan will be the Holy Maiden of our demon race!"


    Saintess?


    As the sound of Di Mo Jiu faded, a strange look appeared in the eyes of the crowd. This strange atmosphere didn''t last long.


    A strange smile was also raised on Meng Meng''s face. As Jun Qiyan felt the strange atmosphere around her, she suddenly had a bad premonition.


    "Mo Jiu, no matter what, he saved us and made her a Holy Maiden ¡­ Is it a little cruel? " It seemed as if Meng Meng really wanted to explain for Jun Qiyan, her face filled with worry.


    Di Mo Jiu''s countenance turned slightly better, but he still maintained a cold expression on his face, "Since he wants to show off so much, if I''m not satisfied with her, that would be my fault."


    "You''re just too kind, who knows what kind of evil intentions he has in mind to harm us." Di Mo Jiu patted Meng Meng''s hands and said consolingly.


    However, he did not notice the viciousness and pride that flashed across Meng Meng''s eyes.


    As Jun Qianyan tried to avoid the dazzling scene in front of him, he couldn''t help but mutter under his breath, "Bastards! Bah!"


    After Di Mo Jiu had arranged everything, he used a cold voice to speak to Jun Qiyan, "Come here."


    Jun Qiyan shrugged her shoulders. She didn''t walk forward because of Di Mo Jiu''s gloomy face. Instead, she calmly walked forward. Because of the huge explosion just now, her surroundings had been desolate.


    Di Mo Jiu brought Jun Qiyan to a secluded corner and stopped.


    Jun Qiyan swallowed his saliva. His calm demeanor had completely disappeared.


    One must know that the current Ninth Master was not the same Ninth Master that he used to know. Who knew if he would do something so crazy?


    "Hey, if you have something to say, then you can''t say it quickly ¡­" Jun Qiyan wasn''t done yet.

 C185

    Di Mo Jiu stared at the girl in his arms. There was no trace of pity in his eyes.


    Jun Qiyan looked at the person who was just inches away from her, and suddenly, a myriad of emotions welled up within her. She wanted to reach out and touch Di Mo Jiu''s face, but someone was holding her back.


    "Hey, has Lord Demon Lord heard of ¡­" Love at first sight? "


    Jun Qiyan raised her eyebrows as she looked at Di Mo Jiu with her bewitching little eyes, as if hinting at something.


    Love at first sight?


    Di Mo Jiu narrowed his eyes, obviously dissatisfied with this answer. He let out a sneer from the tip of his nose.


    There was not a single trace of emotion in his voice, and it was as if he had been frozen by ice for ten thousand years. "I would definitely not like a dirty and dissolute woman like you!"


    Each word was as sharp as a blade, causing Jun Qiyan''s heart to slow down.


    Jun Qiyan narrowed her eyes and smiled. It seemed as if the world had turned pale.


    "You don''t like me at all?"


    Jun Qiyan mumbled to herself as a strange emotion flashed through her eyes.


    What kind of joke was this? In ten thousand years, she would be able to take down the Ninth Lord! Even ten thousand years ago, she would be able to take down this ice mountain!


    Thinking about this, Jun Qiyan felt that he had completely recovered.


    Currently, Di Mo Jiu was completely unaware of the inner workings of Jun Qianyan''s heart. He could only look at the girl in front of him with disgust in his heart.


    "Follow me to the hall. Since you''re a Holy Maiden, you have to do your duty as a Holy Maiden!"


    Di Mo Jiu secretly bit his lips as if he was referring to something. Jun Qiyan frowned, treating this as a mere official business.


    When the two arrived at the great hall, the elders were already seated.


    The one sitting next to Di Mo Jiu was Meng. Jun Qiyan pursed her lips and didn''t look at the two men.


    "I believe everyone is well aware of the purpose of calling this meeting."


    Di Mo Jiu''s cold eyes looked around, and an endless pressure suddenly enveloped the entire hall.


    "Only the few of you know that I''m leaving this time ¡­"


    The meaning of Di Mo Jiu''s words were very clear.


    All of the elders lowered their heads, cold sweat trickling down their bodies. A traitor had appeared within them ¡­ This was simply a fatal blow to the demons!


    If he didn''t get rid of this hidden danger as soon as possible ¡­


    The Elders looked at each other, unable to believe the consequences.


    "Mo Jiu ¡­" Could it be that they got the news by chance from the god race, and it''s to make us suspect each other and shake the morale of the army? After all, none of us here have been able to prove our innocence. Even I am unable to prove that I am not a traitor ¡­ "


    Mengmeng frowned and looked extremely conflicted. That charming expression would even cause a man to have the desire to protect her.


    Di Mo Jiu''s tense face softened. He gently rubbed Meng Meng''s head and said in a soft voice, "Don''t worry. No matter what, I won''t suspect you."


    Jun Qiyan rolled his eyes without any trace of politeness as he could not bear to watch the two of them ''show their affection''.


    Meng Meng gently smiled and her face immediately blushed.


    After that, Di Mo looked at the rest again. He slowly said, "Everyone here knows how I treat traitors. I advise you to come out by yourselves, otherwise, if I find out ¡­"


    As the sound of his voice faded, quite a few people were already shaken to the point of turning into sieves. They were all purely shocked by the pressure exuded by Di Mo Jiu.


    Although Di Mo Jiu was a late stage god race evil spirit and the blood in his body was not pure, it was still stronger than the pressure from everyone present.


    This was one of the reasons why he became a demon god.


    He couldn''t help but sigh. This man was truly a monster. In the long history of the demon race, it wasn''t that there weren''t any gods that had fallen, but rather the majority of them had struggled against the holy power and magic in their bodies.


    In the end, his body exploded and he died.


    No god race that had fallen into a demon could be like that Di Mo Jiu ¡­ He completely adapted himself to the demon race and even became a demon god.


    This was something that no one dared to even think about.


    "Not admitting to it?" Di Mo Jiu squinted his eyes and continued, "Check it out for me."


    "I would actually like to see who has the guts to do so!" "How dare you be a monster under my nose?"


    With that, a group of dark guards appeared out of nowhere.


    They split into two teams and departed from the main hall.


    Time passed second by second, Di Mo Jiu casually tapped on the back of the chair with his index finger, the corners of his mouth had a faint curve.


    He looked to be in extreme danger.


    Jun Qiyan silently cursed in his heart, "What a devil!"


    After an unknown period of time, the dark guard walked into the hall, holding something that looked like an envelope in his hands.


    "Your Majesty." The shadow guard handed the envelope in his hand to Di Mo Jiu.


    Everyone instantly held their breath as they stared intently at the envelope in Di Mo Jiu''s hand, as if they wanted to poke a hole through it.


    Di Mo''s eyes turned cold, and a cold light flashed across his eyes. His voice was unwavering, "Where did you find this?"


    The voice of the shadow guard was like a machine, "There is a secret passage under Elder Sun''s bed. There is a encrypted box in the secret passage. Where did this subordinate find it?"


    With a single sentence, the man named ''Elder Sun'' was sentenced to death.


    "Your Excellency... No, not me! It''s really not me! " The old man named Elder Sun scrambled to Di Mo Jiu''s feet, his fat face covered in cold sweat.


    Tears and snot couldn''t help but roll down his face, revealing his ugly appearance.


    Di Mo Jiu''s face didn''t change at all, he only coldly looked at the man who was on the verge of death.


    Jun Qiyan frowned slightly as he looked at the scene in front of him. He felt especially uncomfortable in his heart.


    "Oh, not you? That envelope, then tell me how to explain it! "


    Di Mo Jiu threw the envelope in his hand onto Elder Sun''s face, and asked again, "There is a secret passage under the bed?"


    "Elder Sun, this senior has truly underestimated you!"


    Di Mo Jiu''s voice paused for a moment, his eyebrows raised in a threatening manner, even though he was not angry.


    Elder Sun looked at the envelope in his hand and froze on the spot.


    Secret passage? Envelope?


    If it wasn''t for the fact that he knew his lord didn''t want to do this sort of thing, Elder Sun would have suspected that his lord was deliberately slandering him.


    "My lord, I swear, I never betrayed you in the slightest!"


    Elder Sun already couldn''t care less why there was an envelope under his bed, or why there was a secret passage, concerned with proving his innocence. He didn''t notice that Di Mo Jiu''s eyes were already filled with killing intent.


    "Elder Sun, how could you do such a thing? Mo Jiu normally treats you well, but since things have come to this, you should just admit it. It''s hard to say whether Mo Jiu will care about face and let your family live."


    Meng Meng''s few words had turned the man''s entire explanation into a quibble. Those words that sounded like an excuse for Elder Sun were a reminder to Elder Sun that if he didn''t acknowledge this matter, his wife and son would be in danger.

 C186

    After Zhu Ran finished speaking, Elder Sun''s face immediately became pale.


    Chu Ran curved the corner of her mouth at an angle that no one could see.


    Everything was under her control, but ¡­


    Chu Ran''s sharp eyes shot straight at Jun Feiyan, her eyes filled with killing intent.


    If it wasn''t for this woman, how could she have come up with such a plan?


    Chu Ran was the fiancee of Di Mo Jiu. She also had the thought of marrying Di Mo Jiu, but that was only before!


    No one could match him. At that time, only Di Mo Jiu would be able to match up to him, not this god-like, devilish bastard!


    When Di Mo Jiu fell into the devil''s trap, Chu Ran had wanted to immediately end the engagement with Di Mo Jiu. However, there was a mysterious person that came looking for her, saying that as long as she showed her unswerving loyalty to Di Mo Jiu and tricked this man''s trust, she would become the most respected woman in the world!


    It would make her a female emperor!


    Facing such a huge temptation, Chu Ran didn''t hesitate to betray Ninth Master.


    While Di Mo Jiu was being pointed out by the gods, Chu Ran stood up and expressed her position clearly.


    By deliberately getting injured, he had managed to gain the trust of the Ninth Master, which had led to his current situation.


    Jun Qiyan narrowed her eyes. A person''s eyes wouldn''t lie. In Elder Sun''s eyes, aside from panic, there was also doubt. But he didn''t feel guilty at all.


    It was obvious that this person who was called Elder Sun was someone else.


    "It wasn''t him."


    Jun Qiyan''s clear and cold voice was especially loud in the silent great hall.


    Everyone looked at Jun Qianyan with expressions of disbelief.


    Did this woman not want to live anymore?!


    He actually spoke up for the traitor!


    Chu Shan''s beautiful eyes narrowed, the killing intent in her eyes had already condensed into a solid entity.


    What''s the matter, this woman!


    He definitely could not let her spoil his plans.


    Chu Ran sneered and said with disdain, "You said he isn''t a traitor?"


    Jun Qiyan looked into Chu Ran''s eyes. There was not a single trace of fear in her eyes, instead, they were filled with magnanimity.


    "If your ears aren''t working, I don''t mind saying it again."


    Chu Ran''s face turned green, she did not expect this woman to be so sharp-tongued, her delicate little face was full of anger: "Humph! "Miss Holy Maiden is truly sharp-tongued. However, you can eat whatever you want and not speak carelessly!"


    "You said he''s not a traitor? Do you have any proof? Or could it be that you are in such a hurry to defend Elder Sun because you are also his partner? "


    Consecutive questions did not cause Jun Qiyan to lose her composure. Instead, she smiled, and spoke with an extremely arrogant tone:


    "I don''t have any proof, but I don''t think some people have no brains!"


    There was a moment of silence.


    This woman was truly daring!


    He actually openly mocked His Highness'' lack of brains!


    This woman had truly given her a lot of pleasant surprises. She had dared to openly oppose the Demon God and that woman, so this human was definitely the first person in the world!


    The Octadic Snake rubbed his chin, waiting for Jun Qiyan''s next words.


    Just as everyone thought that blood was about to splash onto the ground, the Demon Lord did not lose his temper. Instead, he turned to Jun Qiyan and said with a dark expression, "Continue."


    Chu Ran was stunned. She suspected that there was something wrong with her ears and was about to ask.


    Di Mo Jiu''s gloomy face was suddenly replaced with a gloomy one, and the words that were originally in his mouth were completely swallowed up. He could only gloomily stare at Jun Qianyan.


    Jun Qiyan smiled and said, "I think my words are unpleasant. I hope Your Highness doesn''t mind."


    People: So you still know.


    "Just based on these few pieces of paper, you were able to determine whether a person was guilty or not. May I ask, if these few pieces of paper were found in Your Highness''s room, would I also be able to say that you are a traitor?"


    These words were extremely sharp, each word killing the heart.


    Di Mo Jiu''s face sank as he stared at that extremely impudent woman.


    "Also, Elder Sun isn''t a fool. Why would he put such an important thing in his room?" "Isn''t he obviously trying to make people know that he''s a traitor?!"


    As soon as he finished speaking, the surroundings were completely silent. The reasoning given by Jun Qianyan was very simple, but everyone''s attention had been focused on Elder Sun being a traitor.


    Chu Ran''s face alternated between green and white. Her eyes could not wait to tear Jun Qianyan to shreds.


    Jun Qiyan shrugged her shoulders and turned a blind eye to Chu Ran''s hateful gaze.


    "Maybe Elder Sun won''t be able to deal with this evidence in time!"


    Chu Ran''s sharp voice seemed to pierce through everyone''s eardrums.


    The elders wrinkled their brows in dissatisfaction, showing no good feelings towards the eldest miss.


    If Chu Ran wasn''t one of Di Mo Jiu''s people, she wouldn''t have been able to live in the demon realm until now. Even with her arrogant and despotic personality, there were still people who disliked her.


    "Enough."


    Di Mo Jiu cut her off with a gloomy face, this was the first time he felt this woman was so noisy!


    Elder Sun was now looking at Chu Ran with the eyes of an enemy who had killed his father.


    Jun Qiyan indifferently looked at Chu Ran, then lightly smiled. "Isn''t Miss Chu''s reaction a bit too intense ¡­"


    "Ah, those people that don''t know, they still think that you''re the traitor. You keep on wanting to prove that Elder Sun is the traitor, so don''t try to cover up the truth right?"


    With these words, Chu Ran''s expression immediately became ugly. The elders also began to look at Chu Ran skeptically.


    After all, this woman had cleared his suspicions from the very beginning, and then repeatedly hinted at Elder Sun to admit his guilt!


    Perhaps there was an example of Jun Qiyan disobeying Di Mo Jiu. This caused some people to be unable to restrain themselves from revealing what they had in their hearts.


    "Your highness! "All of our rooms have been searched. Only Miss Chu''s has not been searched. Isn''t that a bit unfair?!"


    The one who stood up to speak was an old man who looked to be in his late twenties. He was an old servant of the Demon World and had helped to raise the Demon Lord''s position for several generations.


    Sure enough, with the old man''s words, even more people stood up and said, "That''s right! "Besides Elder Sun being unexpected, there''s only Miss Chu left ¡­"


    "All of you shut up! "I, I followed Your Majesty to the Demon World. Mo Jiu, do you believe me? I gave up on the Holy Maiden for you ¡­"


    Before Chu Ran could finish her sentence, Di Mo Jiu impatiently interrupted her, "Chu Feng, go and check her room. We cannot leave any traces behind."


    As soon as she finished speaking, Chu Ran''s face turned pale as if she couldn''t believe what she had just heard.

 C187

    Di Mo Jiu''s expression turned even uglier. Jun Qiyan smiled disdainfully.


    Men really were all big pig hooves. Even Bai Guanyue would have a day when he hated them.


    "Don''t mess around, this is the only way to prove your innocence." Di Mo Jiu''s voice did not contain his current emotions.


    Chu Ran could only shut her mouth when she heard his words. However, she still looked at Jun Qianyan with a gloomy expression, wishing that she could tear her corpse into a thousand pieces.


    After an unknown period of time, Chu Feng walked into the main hall with an exceptionally beautiful bracelet in his hand.


    When Di Mo Jiu''s gaze landed on the bracelet, his face was as dark as if he had just eaten a bowl of shit.


    Chu Ran''s face was also pale. She looked at Di Mo Jiu frantically before grabbing the bracelet from Chu Feng''s hands.


    He looked extremely nervous.


    Di Mo Jiu stared at Chu Ran as if he was waiting for her explanation.


    The rest of them didn''t see the shape of the bracelet. They only saw the drastic change in their master''s expression and couldn''t help but start to suspect it.


    Jun Qiyan narrowed her eyes as the corners of her lips curled up in a strange smile.


    Other people didn''t know what she had done with the bracelet, but Jun Qiyan was very clear about it.


    It was obviously a token of love for the god race. The divine energy floating on the bracelet was the exclusive property of someone, and the density could be seen from the bracelet feeling that the devil race didn''t last long. At least the aura belonging to someone hadn''t faded yet.


    This thing was obviously not delivered by Di Mo Jiu, otherwise, Chu Ran''s face would not be so nervous, otherwise Di Mo Jiu''s face would not be so ugly.


    This was truly interesting.


    The Demon Lord had been cuckolded by a woman, or was it right under his nose? If this got out, who knew how many people would die from laughter!


    Jun Qiyan held the mindset of watching a good show as she watched the two fight.


    However, things did not seem to be as you wished.


    Di Mo Jiu only coldly glanced around before fiercely glaring at Jun Qiyan, and then ordered, "Put Elder Sun in prison. We can discuss this matter after the end of the meeting!"


    With that, he left the hall without leaving a single cloud behind.


    Elder Sun breathed a sigh of relief as he looked gratefully at Jun Qianyan.


    Although his suspicion had not been completely eliminated, he did not know how many times it was going to happen in the beginning.


    He was only locked up in the water prison, so please speak of his physical pain and suffering. He had saved his own life, as well as that of a family of young and old.


    Jun Qiyan smiled at Elder Sun without saying anything.


    She was only trying to add fuel to the fire for that woman. As for saving Elder Sun, it was an accident.


    However, it was this accident that saved his life not long in the future.


    Di Mo Jiu returned to his room with a dark expression on his face. It was not because he cared about Chu Ran, but because of the aura from the bracelet. He knew very well that it was the aura of the Third Prince.


    Even if he didn''t love Chu Ran, but that woman used her status as his fiancee to hook up with the god race. This was simply slapping his face.


    No man would be able to accept being cuckolded by his own woman.


    Furthermore, it was that person who had caused him to become like this!


    While Di Mo Jiu was lost in thought, Chu Ran slowly walked in.


    She looked at Di Mo Jiu with a wronged expression and continued, "Mo Jiu, I know I was wrong. Can you not be angry?"


    Di Mo and Di Jiu''s countenances were still as cold as ever as they waited for the other party''s explanation.


    Chu Ran bit her lips and said, "A few days ago, when I went out, I met big brother Ziyu. He said he wanted to give me a present, you know our relationship has always been pretty good ¡­"


    Chu Shan purposely paused for a second, then looked at Di Mo Jiu with a wronged expression.


    The hidden meaning was obvious. If it wasn''t for you, I wouldn''t have fallen out with them, and I wouldn''t have left the god race to come to this damn place.


    "At the beginning, Brother Ziyu said it was a medicinal herb that could help me recover, but when I came back, I realized it was something like this."


    Faced with Chu Ran''s explanation, Di Mo Jiu''s face clearly looked a lot better. He sighed with a trace of pity in his voice.


    "You can go back to the god race. You know that even if you go back, I won''t blame you."


    If it were not for him, this little girl would not have come to the Demon World with him, nor would she have suffered such a serious injury.


    Chu Ran shook her head, indicating that she only had Di Mo Jiu in her heart.


    At the other side of the banquet, Jun Qiyan was standing in place with a frown on her face.


    Damn it, he actually forgot to ask Di Mo Jiu for a place to stay.


    The Octadic Snake looked at Jun Qiyan who was standing on the same spot and asked, "Why don''t you go over to my side and try again?"


    Jun Qiyan curled his lips in front of him and looked at the Octadic Snake with disdain. Then, he decisively shook his head. "I still want to live a few more days."


    If she was still living with the Octadic Snake, she might have been convicted by the Ninth Lord for some unknown crime. She wanted to live a few more days.

 C188

    The night was as quiet as it could be. Jun Qiyan wandered around the demon race for an entire day, and finally, at night, he couldn''t help but walk to Di Mo Jiu''s room.


    Even if he died early or late, he would still die! He can''t really live outside all the time, can he?


    Thinking of this, Jun Qiyan no longer hesitated. She braced herself and wanted to knock on Di Mo Jiu''s door.


    However, before Jun Qiyan could open the door, the sound of footsteps came from inside the room.


    For some unknown reason, Jun Qianyan subconsciously hid behind a pillar at the side. With a creak sound, a woman dressed in plain clothes walked out from the Nine Rooms under the moonlight.


    That person was none other than Chu Ran.


    As Jun Qiyan looked at Chu Ran, she couldn''t help but feel depressed.


    A man and a woman alone in a room in the dark?!


    Jun Qiyan could no longer remain calm. They were all adults, so she knew what would happen if she thought about it.


    Could it be that the Ninth Master already had a physical relationship with that woman?


    Even though Jun Qianyan had never experienced matters between men and women, she had a serious obsession with cleanliness. She could not accept that the Ninth Master was involved with that woman.


    It was unknown whether it was out of anger or jealousy, but Jun Qiyan didn''t feel that she had followed Chu Ran.


    Jun Qiyan did not know how long he followed, but he gradually discovered that something was amiss.


    Chu Ran''s room looked like it was in the center of the demon race, but their current location was close to the border of the demon race.


    There was something wrong with this woman!


    Chu Ran first vigilantly observed her surroundings, then took out a precious blue ring from her storage ring.


    The image of a man appeared from the storage ring.


    "Third Prince." Chu Ran meekly called out.


    The voice was seven parts coquettish and three parts coquettish.


    Even Jun Qiyan felt his bones soften when he heard this.


    There was definitely something fishy going on between these two people!


    It was as if Jun Qiyan had already seen Di Mo Jiu''s head covered in green.


    "Yes." The people from the Spatial Ring''s side replied indifferently, and their voices didn''t fluctuate in the slightest.


    "What''s the situation over there?" How could the siege today fail! " The voice of the person called Third Prince obviously contained a sense of sharpness.


    Chu Ran curled her lips, her voice full of grievance. "Your Highness, I''m almost dying from sadness in this godforsaken place. You''re not comforting me, just coming up and saying that you''re attacking the city ¡­"


    As Jun Qiyan looked at Chu Ran''s cute and pretentious appearance, she felt like her stomach was going to burst. How could Ninth Master be so blind?!


    Although Jun Qiyan was not very close to Chu Ran, she could clearly see the man''s expression.


    It was obvious that he was disgusted and impatient. Perhaps he thought that Chu Ran was very useful to him, as he asked with that temper of his, "Stop messing around, I''m talking about proper business right now. How did the siege end?"


    Chu Shan let out a light snort, but her expression turned serious, "It''s all because of that bitch!"


    The sharp voice made Jun Qiyan''s scalp tingle. She didn''t even need to think to know that this bitch was calling him.


    "Everything was going well with the original plan. Di Mo Jiu suddenly brought back a bitch that messed up our plan. The explosion caused by the mixing of God Power and Magic was also brought up by that bitch." Chu Ran gritted her teeth as she spoke in an angry tone.


    The man in front of him frowned. He was surprised. He had thought that the person who had broken through his formation was a peerless master, but he didn''t expect her to be such a stinky little girl.


    Interesting!


    "Furthermore, that woman might have already found out my identity ¡­"


    It had to be said that Chu Ran was quite intelligent and observant to be chosen as a spy again.


    When the person opposite to her heard what Chu Ran said, his expression changed drastically as killing intent surfaced on his face.


    "Try to hint to that girl that she wants him to join us. It would be best if he can join us. If he doesn''t, then ¡­"


    The man stopped talking. The killing intent in his eyes could no longer be concealed. Since it could not be used by him, he could only make it disappear forever!


    Jun Qiyan''s heart skipped a beat, and his expression turned ugly. After all, if someone were to discuss how to kill him in front of his own eyes, no one would feel good about it.


    Although Chu Ran agreed on the surface, she secretly calculated in her heart and persuaded her to surrender?


    He wouldn''t do that. He wanted that woman dead! He actually dared to seduce Di Mo Jiu in front of him. Not only did he make that woman disappear from this world, he even made her lose her reputation!


    Thinking of this, a look of excitement appeared on Chu Ran''s face.


    Although Chu Ran didn''t like Di Mo Jiu, she had already planned for Di Mo Jiu to be her person. Even if she didn''t like him, that man would still belong to her!


    "This is Heart Devouring Powder. It is colorless and tasteless. I won''t have the slightest impression of it in the last week, but I will die of a heart attack on the eighth day."


    Then the people over there used some unknown method to send the "Heart Devouring Powder" to Chu Ran.


    Jun Qiyan raised an eyebrow. Heart Devouring Powder was an extremely difficult type of pill in the ancient era, but she hadn''t expected to see it here.


    After the two talked for a while, Chu Ran hurried back to her room.


    Jun Qiyan narrowed her eyes, looking at the night which was getting denser and denser, and decided to stay the night at the Baji Snake''s place.


    "Fuck, why did you come back ¡­"


    The Octadic Snake nervously looked at Jun Qianyan who was standing outside the door, as if he had seen some ferocious beast.


    Jun Qiyan ignored the astonishment of the Octadic Snake and walked in without a trace of politeness. He even brewed a pot of tea for himself.


    "I haven''t seen your senior lord. You can''t possibly let me stay outside for the night, can you ¡­" Jun Qiyan raised an eyebrow with a pitiful look on his face.


    The Octadic Snake''s face turned red before realizing that something was amiss.


    "But if you are with me, I''ll be ¡­" The Octadic Snake wanted to retort, but was interrupted by Jun Qianyan.


    With a bang, Jun Qianyan threw the teacup in her hand onto the table. She looked at the Octadic Snake with a sorrowful expression. "Are we brothers or not?"


    The Octadic Snake: "I ¡­"


    Jun Qianyan spoke with a sorrowful expression, "I said not to ask for the same year and the same month and the same day, but to ask for the same year and the same month and to die as well. I said that I would make you my little brother from now on ¡­"


    The Octadic Snake: "?"


    Jun Qiyan a runny nose and a tear, it is the essence of the play.


    Obviously, the Octadic Snake had never encountered such a situation before, nor had it encountered such a shameless person. It instantly froze on the spot.


    He then scratched his head in annoyance, "Alright, alright. You can stay here for the night."

 C189

    Seeing the carefree person in front of him, the Octadic Snake could only grind his teeth in resentment. Why did he feel like he had been tricked?


    The Octadic Snake was on the verge of tears, but there was nothing he could do.


    Jun Qiyan raised an eyebrow and said, "What are you still standing here for? Don''t you know that a man and a woman can''t be in the same room alone?"


    When the Octadic Snake heard Jun Qianyan''s words, his complexion immediately turned as black as the bottom of a pot.


    This damned girl!


    Jun Qiyan smiled and then covered himself with the blanket, not looking at the grievance in the eyes of the Baji Snake.


    After the Octadic Snake had left, Jun Qianyin retracted her usual smile. She narrowed her eyes, thinking about what she had seen today, and thought about what she had seen in the Nine Illusions of Di Mo ten thousand years later.


    Even though Di Mo Jiu had been doing this to her a few times, Jun Qianyan couldn''t really watch as he was killed by Chu Ran. "Wuwuwu, wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuu ¡­"


    In the endless darkness, Jun Qiyan slowly fell into a deep slumber.


    The next morning, Jun Qiyan was awoken by the sound of wailing ghosts and howling wolves.


    "Boss!" Me, me, and this damn girl really haven''t happened at all! "


    The Octadic Snake looked at the man in front of it with a face as black as the bottom of a pot, and wished that he could die and prove his innocence.


    Di Mo Jiu''s face remained as cold as ever, not listening to the other party''s explanation.


    Jun Qi yawned lazily, then looked at Di Mo Jiu and the Octadic Snake with a smile, not forgetting to say, "Good morning everyone!"


    Di Mo Jiu looked at Jun Qianyan''s sexy appearance and could only clench his teeth, anger rising in his heart for no reason.


    What did this damned girl''s self-love have to do with him?


    Even if she was ridden by tens of thousands of people, it wouldn''t affect her much.


    However, for some reason, Di Mo Jiu couldn''t help but feel a bit annoyed when he thought about this woman and his subordinates who had gone through a series of ups and downs together.


    "You are truly despicable!"


    Di Mo Jiu sneered and said in disdain.


    Jun Qiyan narrowed her eyes. Very good! This was the second time that the Ninth Master had called him a bitch.


    His heart was in pain, but Qiyan didn''t forget to mock him back.


    "Is the Ninth Master being a bit nosy now? It seems like it''s not your place to meddle in other people''s business." Or is it ¡­ "Ninth Master has taken a fancy to a nameless nobody like me?"


    At this point, Jun Qiyan flipped over, and quickly got off the bed to lift Di Mo Jiu''s chin. There was an endless charm on his face, as if he wanted to captivate everyone''s attention.


    Di Mo Jiu looked at the man who looked like a cat in front of him, and his Adam''s apple started rolling up and down.


    This was the first time that Di Mo Jiu had lost his mind, and this feeling made him extremely uncomfortable. He did not like the feeling of going out of his control.


    "Scram!"


    Di Mo Jiu''s cold eyes narrowed as killing intent burst out from within his eyes.


    When Jun Qiyan saw that the other party was truly angry, she stopped teasing him.


    She pouted and muttered, "He''s really not cute."


    Di Mo Jiu didn''t care about that. He tightened his face and said with a voice that was as cold as an ice cave.


    "I don''t care about how you acted before. If I find out that you are bewitching my subordinates, I will kill you with my own hands!"


    Di Mo Jiu said fiercely.


    From what he could tell, women were people who should be protected, but not those who would ruin his plans. At this time, it was obvious that Di Moyan had given the name of a traitor to Jun Qiyan.


    If it wasn''t for Jun Qiyan repeatedly saving him, with Di Mo Jiu''s temper, he would have already acted.


    Jun Qiyan narrowed her eyes as she looked at the person in front of her. The expression in her eyes was dark and uninvited.


    "Since you are already the Saint Daughter of the demon race, you should shoulder the responsibility of being the Saint Daughter!"


    Di Mo Jiu said slowly, "Pack your things and come with me to the hall!"


    Hearing Di Mo Jiu''s order, Jun Qiyan didn''t refute him.


    "Ninth Master, aren''t you a bit of a bully?"


    Jun Qiyan''s voice slowly turned cold as she stared at the back of Di Mo Jiu, who was about to leave, and spoke out.


    Di Mo Jiu stopped in his tracks and looked at Jun Qiyan, waiting for her to continue.


    "Lord Nine has me to charm your subordinates, but he doesn''t give me a room. Could it be that Lord Nine wants to live with me?"


    Jun Qiyan''s voice paused for a moment as he blinked his eyes mischievously.


    By the side, the Octadic Snake was already struck dumb by Jun Qiyan''s audacious actions. Should he say that this woman was bold and audacious, or did she not have a brain?!


    Didn''t he see that his boss'' face was about to drip with ink?!


    He actually dared to be so presumptuous!


    He couldn''t help but close his eyes, feeling as if he would be drenched in blood the next moment.


    What he had imagined did not appear.


    Di Mo Jiu frowned, arranging for rooms like this would never be of any use to him.


    These were all things that the servants had wanted to do, but now, faced with Jun Qianyan''s questioning, he was actually unable to speak. Did she mean that she misunderstood him?


    As he thought of this, Di Mo''s eyes darkened. With a gloomy face, he shouted in anger, "Someone, come!"


    As the sound of his voice faded, a black figure instantly appeared in front of the three of them.


    "What does Master want?"


    The man said respectfully.


    "Who is in charge of food and clothing? Bring it up here for me! "


    Di Mo Jiu''s voice was like December''s ice.


    After the person replied, he disappeared from the room again.


    Jun Qiyan sighed secretly as he was truly worthy of being one of Di Mo Jiu''s secret guards.


    Within a few seconds, the black figure appeared before the three of them once more.


    It was just that there was a fat demon man standing next to him.


    It was obvious that he had not woken up yet.


    Di Mo Jiu looked at the man who was lying on the ground, and the coldness on his face became even more obvious.


    "Chief Eunuch Lin is in a good mood!" "He still hasn''t woken up from his sleep even though it''s late in the morning. The man on the ground instantly woke up from his daze with some mocking words."


    Shivering, Ji Hao looked at Di Mo Jiu, not knowing what he had done wrong.


    "Greetings, Sir!"


    Steward Lin hurriedly bowed, feeling extremely apprehensive in his heart.


    Jun Qiyan narrowed her eyes but didn''t say anything.


    Di Mo Jiu looked at the fat lump beneath his feet and felt even more nauseous.


    "Why didn''t I see the Holy Maiden?" Di Mo Jiu narrowed his eyes and stared at the Chief Eunuch Lin who was kneeling beside him with a pair of sharp eyes.


    Chief Eunuch Lin''s forehead was instantly drenched in cold sweat. Only then did he hurriedly turn his gaze towards Jun Qiyan, trying to salvage the situation. "Your subordinate''s eyes are unsteady! I beg for your life. "


    Didn''t the Demon Lord hate this human woman?


    Jun Qiyan looked at Di Mo Jiu in surprise. She never thought that he would actually help her get her name straight.


    After all, this was not something that the current Di Mo Jiu would do.


    "You shouldn''t be saying this to the Holy Maiden?" "I think you''re old and muddleheaded, Chief Eunuch Lin!"


    Di Mo Jiu said in a cold voice, his face was full of coldness.


    If Steward Lin still didn''t understand Di Mo Jiu''s words, then she had wasted so many years of her life.


    "Miss Holy Maiden, this little one has a bad eye. I hope that Miss Holy Maiden does not blame me!" As Jun Qiyan heard the man in front of him almost begging for mercy, he felt disdain in his heart. However, he still had a smile on his face.


    "Oh, I can understand. I can''t help but feel like Chief Eunuch Lin has yet to wake up."


    These words seemed to be an excuse for Steward Lin, but in reality, he was reprimanding him for neglecting his duty.


    As expected, when Steward Lin heard this, his face paled and turned even paler.


    What was this woman trying to do?!


    "The reason that Steward Lin invited you here today is for no other reason. I just wanted to ask, when are you going to get the approval of my room to you?"


    Jun Qianyan indifferently asked. His previously small face had now turned sharp and fierce.


    When Steward Lin heard this, his face paled.


    The Demon Lord was supporting a mortal!


    How could this be?


    If he knew that this woman belonged to the Demon Lord, then he wouldn''t dare to neglect his duty even if he was given a hundred guts!


    Thinking of this, Steward Lin''s expression turned uglier and uglier.


    "Subordinate... "Subordinate ¡­"


    Steward Lin stammered, unable to speak.


    Di Mo Jiu didn''t say anything, he just looked at this woman in front of him.


    "This subordinate will arrange it for you!"


    Chief Steward Lin was too clear on the consequences of neglecting his duty.


    He looked like he was about to cry, but no tears came out.


    "From today onwards, Chief Steward Lin will be exiled from the Demon Palace and he will never be hired again." Di Mo Jiu squinted his eyes and said.


    When Steward Lin heard these words, his heart turned to ashes in an instant.


    "My Lord!" I was wrong, I won''t dare to do it again! "


    Chief Steward Lin continued to beg for mercy, but the guards around him had already begun to take action.


    "Miss Holy Maiden, I was wrong ¡ª"


    Listening to the sound of her voice as it gradually receded into the distance, Jun Qianyan''s expression didn''t change in the slightest. If she did something wrong, she would be punished accordingly. She was not a Holy Maiden.


    "Even after a long time, Ninth Master still wasn''t able to find a good place for me to stay."


    Jun Qiyan said in an aggrieved manner.


    Di Mo Jiu snorted, and then continued, "You and I will move to the Snowfall Pavilion next to the main bedroom right now."


    When Jun Qiyan heard this, he smiled. Then, with a slightly provocative tone, he said, "Is the Lord hinting at something ¡­"


    After all, the master bedroom was where Di Mo Jiu lived. After hearing this, people couldn''t help but let their imagination run wild.


    Di Mo Jiu listened but didn''t refute anything.


    He continued, "Immediately come to the main hall."


    With that, he disappeared.


    Jun Qiyan smiled as she too left the residence of the Baji Snake.


    The Octadic Snake couldn''t help but secretly complain in his heart as he watched the two people leave.


    Was he the cannon fodder for these two?


    Arriving at the main hall, Chu Ran and the rest had already finished their preparations.


    When she saw the two approaching side by side, a trace of jealousy appeared on her face.


    What a slut!


    She had better pray that it didn''t fall into her hands. Otherwise, she would definitely let this slut experience what it meant to have a life worse than death!


    Jun Qiyan also felt that kind of resentful gaze, so she returned a provocative look.


    Chu Ran was so angry that the roots of her teeth started to itch, and her disgust for Jun Qiyan had also increased by quite a bit.


    "I called you here today because I have something to tell you. According to the news of the spies from the god race coming here, the god race will make a big move. We need to infiltrate into the god race."


    Jun Qiyan raised an eyebrow. Was he trying to pry into the affairs of his enemies?


    Although Jun Qiyan felt that this was most likely an act of suicide, she was certain that Di Mo Jiu would beat her to death if she spoke out such words.


    She had no choice but to follow Di Mo Jiu and leave the demon territory.

 C190

    The firelight illuminated half of the sky. Jun Qiyan and Chu Ran squatted beside Di Mo Jiu, pushing aside the grass in front of them that was used as a cover, carefully looking at the brightly lit temple.


    According to the informant''s instructions, the time to change shifts with the patrolling troops outside the shrine was almost here. It was the perfect time to sneak in.


    "Now is the time!"


    Seeing the opportunity, Jun Qianyan groped his way closer, with Di Mo Jiu following closely behind. Chu Ran wanted to stop him, but when she saw Di Mo Jiu rushing down the mountain with him, she gritted her teeth and followed him down.


    The three of them approached the temple. They observed the guards as they changed their clothes. While the guards were changing, they carefully climbed over the fence and slipped inside.


    "Hey, you guys, wait for me ¡­" You, Mo Jiu! "


    Although Chu Ran had been following behind Di Mo Jiu the whole way, Di Mo Jiu acted as if he didn''t know Chu Ran''s existence at all, only walking side by side with her and not even glancing back at her.


    "Don''t shout your name."


    Chu Ran followed but did not catch up. She could only gasp for breath as she shouted Di Mo Jiu''s name. However, the person who turned back to respond was not Di Mo Jiu, but Jun Qianyan.


    "Be careful not to get exposed."


    Chu Ran gritted her teeth and glared angrily at Jun Qiyan.


    Why?


    They had agreed that they were going to move together, so why did she act like she was the commander and completely pretend that she didn''t exist?


    How infuriating!


    Chu Ran was not willing to let Jun Qiyan and Di Mo Jiu be alone. She hurried forward and hugged Di Mo Jiu''s arm.


    Di Mo Jiu then turned his head back to look at Chu Ran.


    However, it was only that one glance.


    "Tsk."


    Jun Qiyan frowned, obviously a little impatient with Chu Ran''s way of handling the matter.


    One patrol after another passed by. Jun Qiyan and the others had already entered the inner part of the temple. Just as they were about to proceed forward with their bodies hunched over, two burly soldiers suddenly appeared in front of them.


    "The three of you, what are you doing here?"


    One of the dark skinned soldiers seemed to be the leader. He looked at Jun Feiyan and the others who were a bit unfamiliar, and squatted down near a pillar not far from the main hall. He subconsciously approached and asked, "Which team are you guys from? "If we''re not patrolling at this late of the night, you would still dare to come out!"


    "Boss, don''t be angry."


    Jun Qiyan cursed in her heart. Then, with a face full of smiles, he straightened his body, cupped his fists, and bowed. "Today''s my birthday, so I drank a few drinks with my brothers. I was just thinking about going back ¡­"


    "Is that so?"


    That person frowned as he sized Jun Qiyan up. After a moment, he waved his hand and said, "All of you, scram! Just in case anything goes wrong! "


    "Yes."


    Jun Qiyan gave Di Mo Jiu and Chu Ran a look, telling them to leave first while he took care of the aftermath himself.


    The two of them didn''t dare to stay any longer. They quickly stood up and left. Jun Qianyan also followed closely behind. She was still looking back at the soldier''s expression.


    "Wait ¡­"


    The soldier who had asked the question did not say much, but the other soldier beside him noticed the change in the situation and turned his head to shout after Jun Qianyan and the others, "All of you, stand still ¨C pull down your masks and take a look!"


    Jun Qianyan sucked in a breath of cold air, her hand already moving up to her waist, preparing to release the tear gas at any moment, but she didn''t expect Chu Ran to suddenly yell, "Not good! We''ve been exposed! Hurry up and run! "


    To be honest, Jun Qiyan really wanted to just beat Chu Ran to death.


    I''ve seen a pig teammate, but I''ve never seen a teammate who can cheat others more than a pig!


    If she didn''t shout, then it would be fine. She, Jun Qiyan, still had a way to fool them; but after Chu Ran shouted, no matter what, it was fake. Now, the entire hall knew that the three of them were spies.


    Soon, all the guards in the godly store rushed over and surrounded Jun Qiyan and the other two in the third floor.


    "What kind of luck is this!?"


    Jun Qiyan angrily glared at Chu Ran and could not help but scold, "This is good. Not to mention continuing to inquire about the news, even going out is a problem."


    "Capture them all for me!"


    At the command of the tanned general, all the guards roared in anger and charged forward with their weapons raised.


    Di Mo Jiu and Jun Qiyan were already activating their magic spells, and were about to join hands to deal with those people. However, Chu Lan was afraid that those people might not be able to catch her, so she immediately stood in front of Di Mo Jiu, shouting loudly, "You guys hurry up and leave! I''ll cover you guys! "


    You cover the head!


    If it wasn''t for you, how would we have been exposed?


    At this moment, Jun Qianyan was so angry that her lungs were about to explode. If it weren''t for the fact that Chu Ran was her teammate, she wouldn''t have pointed her long sword at the guards and instead at Chu Ran.


    While he was lost in thought, a golden rope suddenly appeared out of thin air and wrapped around Jun Qiyan.


    "Xiao Qi."


    Di Mo Jiu pushed away Chu Ran who was getting in his way with one hand, then squatted down and started to chant an incantation. Just as he was about to untie the rope for Jun Qiyan, another gold rope suddenly flew over and tied Di Mo Jiu up.


    "Damn it."


    When she looked up again, she saw that Di Mo Jiu had also fallen by her side. The main culprit who led this scene, Chu Ran, had actually spilled a flash grenade and fled.


    He hadn''t seen her so skilled when he was on mission, so how could she have fled so quickly?


    Jun Qianyan cursed inwardly, but Di Mo Jiu seemed to have seen through her thoughts, he only advised her in a low voice, "Forget it. She was protecting us just now, it doesn''t seem like she was a spy."


    "I''d rather she was a spy!"


    Jun Qiyan gritted his teeth as he replied.


    If Chu Ran really was a spy, after she left, she would have the opportunity to teach her a lesson.


    "Someone, throw them into the dungeon!"


    The flash grenade''s effect was quickly over. Jun Qiyan and Di Mo Jiu were carried by the guards like sacks as they walked towards the shadows on the right side of the temple ¡­


    In the grass outside the temple, Chu Ran, who had survived the ordeal, was breathing heavily, her grip on the hem of her dress tightened.


    Damn it!


    Originally, they just wanted to let them catch Jun Qiyan and forget about it, but why ¡­ Why did Di Mo Jiu go and untie her, causing him to be caught?


    At that time, he could have just left with her, regardless of Jun Qianyan!


    Now that the two of them were locked up in the prison, how was he going to carry out this mission?


    Chu Ran was now one head and two heads. After thinking about it again and again, she could only return to report this matter.

 C191

    The dark cell was deathly silent. The sound of water dripping onto the ground was crisp and clear. It kept hitting Jun Qiyan again and again, and finally she woke up.


    "We... Is this a dungeon? "


    Jun Qiyan remembered seeing Chu Ran escape, and hearing the soldiers say they were going to throw her into the dungeon, she had no impression of what happened after that.


    Now it seemed as if she''d been drugged and passed out.


    Fortunately, when she woke up, she saw that Di Mo Jiu was also locked in the room next door. The two of them weren''t separated by too much distance.


    "Yes."


    Di Mo Jiu was still tied up, but he still sat cross-legged and replied, "They drugged you."


    "I know."


    Perhaps it was just a woman, but she still wasn''t enough to attract their attention. Therefore, there was no rope tied around her body. She could move to the railing and speak to Di Mo Jiu next door, "Can you tell what this is?"


    "No."


    Di Mo Jiu honestly shook his head.


    The guards were also very cautious. When they were locked up, they would be covered with black cloth the whole time. Furthermore, they were not allowed to walk, but were carried directly to the cell and thrown there, as if to prevent them from being able to use their memories to find their way out.


    The prison was also pitch black, and it was almost pitch black. It would be extremely difficult to find a place to go out if one did not have night vision.


    "Just you wait, I''ll untie the golden chain for you."


    Jun Qiyan glanced around, lowered her voice and said, "Chu Ran can''t believe it anymore."


    As soon as Jun Yunyan finished his words, he was about to cast an incantation to untie Di Mo Jiu, but he realized that it was useless.


    "Why ¡­"


    "It''s useless."


    Di Mo Jiu shook his head, signalling for Jun Qiyan to stop wasting time. "Look at my neck ¡ª"


    Only now did Jun Qianyan realize that there was a black object encircling Di Mo Jiu''s neck. Looking closer, one could see that the black object actually had eyes, and it could even move.


    "This is ¡­" Spirit fluke? "


    It was said that Spirit flukes were very rare because it could absorb the body''s master''s spirit energy, causing the main body to be unable to use any magic. It was widely cultivated in the army to subdue prisoners and its body was rigid so it was not afraid of fire.


    Jun Qiyan was a bit surprised. She didn''t expect that there would be such a thing in the shrine!


    No wonder he was unable to cast spells.


    "What do we do now?"


    Jun Qiyan sat down with his back facing Di Mo Jiu and sighed softly.


    In any case, she didn''t expect Chu Ran to go back and call reinforcements to save them, so it was up to them to think of a way to escape.


    "We don''t have much use for them, and we don''t have much information to give them. I''m sure they won''t make things difficult for us."


    Di Mo Jiu glanced at Jun Qiyan and softly consoled her, "It''s fine if you stay here for two days."


    "Right now, I''m a bit worried about Chu Ran going back ¡­"


    Jun Qiyan could no longer believe Chu Ran. She was about to say something when she heard footsteps approaching somewhere, then the sound of the door being unlocked followed by a blinding light entering the room.


    Perhaps because they were used to the darkness, Jun Qianyan and Di Mo Jiu could not adapt to the sudden bright light and had to close their eyes. When they opened them again, the door had already been closed, and the two soldiers who opened the door also walked in.


    "What are you two doing, being so close!"


    The soldier was carrying two bowls of rice in his hands. Upon entering, he saw Jun Qianyan and Di Mo Jiu sitting with their backs facing each other. There was only a single railing between them. Do you hear me? If we don''t split up, we won''t have any food to eat! "


    Jun Qiyan frowned, thinking that the Temple''s prisoners could actually enjoy such good food and benefits. Seeing that Di Mo Jiu had also moved away, he could only bitterly move back to his original position and sit there, staring at the two soldiers.


    For some reason, why did the other soldier look a little familiar?


    Strangely enough, he was also staring at her, his gaze shifting back and forth between her and Di Mo Jiu.


    "Hurry up and eat. I''ll pass on your moves to you later!"


    The soldier threw his food in front of them and snorted, "You want to go against Deities Templar? You must be tired of living!"


    The soldier was still talking to himself. Jun Qiyan''s gaze never left the soldier who looked somewhat familiar. The soldier also turned to look at Jun Qiyan and Di Mo Jiu, but remained silent.


    "Hey, don''t you think... "Is the person walking in the back familiar?"


    After the door to the dungeon was closed, Jun Qiyan crawled back to Di Mo Jiu''s side. She said in a low voice, "And did you notice that person was also looking at us?"


    "Don''t eat."


    Just as Jun Qiyan was about to tell Di Mo Jiu about his discovery, Di Mo Jiu replied with an irrelevant question, "They drugged it."


    "Of course I know that!"


    Jun Qiyan rolled his eyes in anger.


    No matter what, he was still a captive. They would definitely force him to confess, and this time, they would probably set up something that could control a person''s consciousness so that they could use the confession for a while.


    "As for the person you''re talking about ¡­" I think I do. "


    Di Mo Jiu was silent for a long time as he looked at Jun Qianyan who was fuming and ignoring him. Then he quietly said, "If I''m not mistaken, he''s Yan Ruyu."


    "Yan Ruyu?"


    Jun Qiyan froze for a moment, then blankly shook her head. "I don''t know him."


    "Yan Ruyu had a good relationship with me before, but he has also been missing for a long time. Di Mo Jiu expressionlessly said, "Now that he seems to have joined Deities Templar, it''s no wonder that he''s been missing for such a long time."


    Di Mo Jiu had just finished his words when he heard the door of the dungeon being opened, followed by another burst of light. Jun Qiyan and Di Mo Jiu then saw a soldier walk in.


    "As expected, you still remember me." Di Mo Jiu smiled lightly at the silhouette, "Yan Ruyu."


    That person stood still in front of Di Mo Jiu. After a moment of silence, he crouched down and asked, "Why were you so careless? How did you get caught all of a sudden?"


    Jun Qiyan glanced at Yan Ruyu, lowered his head, and said no more.


    That person also only knew Di Mo Jiu, this sort of thing was better to let Di Mo Jiu negotiate. It was better for her to just quietly wait.


    "I didn''t know that you had joined the temple."


    Di Mo Jiu did not care about what Yan Ruyu had said, nor did he look at her as he spoke to himself.


    "What are you talking about!?" I am not from the Third Prince! "


    She lowered her voice and explained. After looking around once more, she continued, "The two of you will stay here for a while. When they send you confessions in the afternoon, I will think of a way to let you escape."

 C192

    "You just said ¡­" You''re not from the Third Prince? "


    Jun Qiyan was a bit surprised. She hadn''t expected that her lousy teammate would turn out to be a spy!


    Heavens, isn''t this surprise too sudden?


    "In short, I won''t harm you."


    Yan Ruyu nodded, and just as he was about to say something more, he suddenly heard footsteps from outside. Soon after, a voice chased in, "Why is it that long? Are you all right? Could something have gone wrong? "


    Another soldier asked, about to push open the door and enter.


    Yan Ruyu knew it wasn''t convenient to talk too much at this time, so he could only stop the topic at hand. He suddenly stood up, opened the door to Jun Qianyan''s cell, and walked straight in.


    "You ¡­ What are you doing? "


    Jun Qiyan frowned as she saw the soldiers walk in from outside the door. She then heard Yan Ruyu roughly shout, "I told you two brats to get so close! "Don''t think I don''t know what you''re up to!"


    Yan Ruyu quietly gave Jun Qiyan a meaningful look, grabbed her arm with one hand and roughly pulled her up from the ground, then pushed her towards another cell far away from Di Mo Jiu.


    "Hurry up, don''t waste your time. We still need to patrol in a while!"


    Seeing that Yan Ruyu''s movements were so ''inflexible'', the other soldier was clearly somewhat impatient. He hurriedly waved his hand and shouted as he urged, "How long has it been since you slipped away?"


    Yan Ruyu pretended to throw Jun Qiyan into another cell, placed the lock down, and left with the grumpy soldier.


    The moment the door was closed, Yan Ruyu turned around to look at Di Mo Jiu and quietly nodded her head, as if she had sent a message.


    The door was closed again, and the dungeon was dead silent once more.


    Jun Qiyan and Di Mo Jiu looked at each other without saying anything, and only chose to remain silent, closing their eyes to rest their minds.


    In just a moment, another wave of footsteps came from afar. Compared to the previous time, this one sounded even more urgent and noisy. It was obvious that there were a lot of people here.


    Although Jun Qiyan was'' forced ''to change his cell, he was not too far away from Di Mo Jiu. As the sound of footsteps rang out, Jun Qiyan''s gaze shifted to Di Mo Jiu who was sitting opposite of her.


    From the looks of it, this was what the soldier had said, that it was time to confess in the afternoon.


    Di Mo Jiu was still resting with his eyes closed. He didn''t feel any panic or uneasiness towards the sound of footsteps. On the contrary, he was extremely calm, as if he had been waiting for a long time.


    The door was violently opened. This time, dozens of soldiers rushed in like a flood.


    "Get up, get up!"


    The person who was shouting was the leader of the soldiers they had met yesterday. He had his hands on his hips as he called out to his brothers behind him, "Take him away quickly, don''t make the lord wait anymore!"


    "Yes sir!"


    In response, three soldiers walked up to the cell. One of them was responsible for opening the door, and the two of them quickly walked in. They grabbed Jun Qiyan''s arms, one on each side of her, and lifted her up from the ground before following Di Mo Jiu into the so-called ''interrogation room''.


    The interrogation room was filled with tools for torture, causing Jun Qianyan''s brows to furrow. She subconsciously looked at Di Mo Jiu, but Di Mo Jiu maintained his indifferent expression.


    This guy, does he not know how to be afraid?


    Even though he knew that someone was coming to save him, at least he should at least put on a show.


    "You two ¡ª who sent you?"


    The leading soldier pulled up a chair and sat down. Then, he pointed at Di Mo Jiu and Jun Qianyan and shouted, "Who are you guys working for?"


    As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Ruyu grasped her long whip and walked in front of Jun Feiyan. He pulled at it a few times, causing a "pa" sound to ring out.


    "No one is ordering me."


    Jun Qiyan pursed her lips and spoke faintly, "Do something for yourself."


    "A mere two people want to go against the shrine?"


    The leader of the soldiers raised his head and laughed. Then, he ordered angrily, "Go and see if you have seen the coffin or not ¡ª tie it to the shelf! "Fight!"


    In response, two soldiers came forward and dragged Jun Qiyan towards a wooden shelf at the back.


    Looking at the familiar wooden frame of the cross, Jun Qiyan suddenly remembered the humiliation she had felt when she had been treated as a member of the demon race. A surge of emotions caused her spirit energy to begin to fluctuate, but because of the worms at her neck, this spirit energy had not been released, and instead made her feel even more miserable.


    "Xiao Qi, wake up!"


    Di Mo Jiu''s heart tightened when he saw the strange expression on Jun Qiyan''s face. He hurriedly said, "Xiao Qi, wake up!"


    "Shut up!"


    The leader of the soldiers threw a glance at Di Mo Jiu, and one of the soldiers immediately went up to Di Mo Jiu and kicked him in the chest!


    Di Mo Jiu gave a muffled groan as he bent his body, and Jun Qianyan was also shocked by the sound of the groan for the rest of her life. She finally came back to her senses but discovered that her entire body was covered in sweat.


    That was true. How could she forget that memory?


    Even though the misunderstanding had been resolved, the suffocating pain still persisted after so many days.


    "I''m fine."


    Even though Jun Qiyan had said that, his voice had already turned cold, clearly affected by his memories.


    Di Mo Jiu frowned and stopped talking.


    Once again, Jun Qiyan was tied to a wooden shelf in the shape of a "X". Although she was trying her best to suppress her surging emotions, her malevolent expression betrayed her.


    But in the eyes of these soldiers, Jun Qiyan''s malevolence was not because of her pain, but because she was provoking and mocking them.


    To them, this was undoubtedly an insult!


    "Hit him!"


    The first one who couldn''t sit still was the leader of the soldiers. With a dark expression and an angry shout, Yan Ruyu slowly arrived in front of Jun Qianyan with his long whip in his hand.


    "Bring it on."


    Jun Qiyan sneered and secretly sent a meaningful glance to her, indicating that Yan Ruyu did not need to worry about himself and could just continue to carry out the plan.


    Yan Ruyu''s eyebrows loosened as he raised the whip in his hand high up and flung it towards Jun Feiyan!


    Jun Qiyan closed her eyes, but didn''t feel the whip. On the contrary, the cool thing on her neck seemed to have disappeared. When she opened her eyes again, she saw that the Spirit fluke had already fallen to the ground and was writhing in the water.


    "What are you doing? Are you trying to rebel?"


    The soldiers immediately stood up and were about to rush over to surround Yan Ruyu. The other soldier was about to run outside to inform her, but Jun Qiyan had already activated his magic, causing the ground to freeze over. The soldiers could only stare blankly at his.

 C193

    Chapter IV Undercover Rock Hammer


    After changing into the soldier uniform that Yan Ruyu had prepared beforehand, Jun Qianyan and Di Mo Jiu followed Yan Ruyu''s instructions and walked eastward. As expected, they saw the number of soldiers gradually decreasing, and it did not arouse any suspicions.


    However, escaping was not their goal. They escaped into the shrine to ask for information, but even so, they did not have any news to bring back. It was indeed rather shameful for them to carry out the mission and order.


    "Ninth Master!"


    Jun Qiyan stopped. She glanced at Di Mo Jiu, then looked behind her and said in a low voice, "Are you going back just like that?"


    "Otherwise?"


    Di Mo Jiu turned back to glance at Jun Qianyan, asking in return.


    "Then... You can go back first. "


    Jun Qiyan swallowed her saliva, turned around with her back facing Di Mo Jiu, and said in a low voice, "I''ll take care of the rest."


    No matter what, she had infiltrated deep into the enemy camp. If she didn''t gather some useful information, she would really be sorry to have been tricked by a pig of a teammate and spent the entire day in the prison.


    Taking advantage of the fact that she knew he was a spy, and the fact that he was still locked in the interrogation room next door to the dungeon, she decided to pretend that she was one of the Deities Templar''s soldiers. At the very least, she had to fulfill her original goal, and not like now, she needed the help of others to escape from the dungeon.


    "Are you crazy?"


    Di Mo Jiu obviously didn''t agree. He frowned and scolded in a low voice, "Although this Yan Ruyu is here again, that doesn''t mean that we can do whatever we want!"


    "I can rely on myself."


    Jun Qianyan gritted her teeth and replied with a tone of anger, "I also didn''t say that I would trouble your good friend again ¡ª in short, if I don''t dig up something useful today, I would really be sorry for my time in the dungeon!"


    As Jun Qianyan spoke, she turned around and walked in the direction of the entrance, completely ignoring Di Mo Jiu who was behind her.


    In any case, Di Mo and Jiu Gui were determined, and Chu Ran was a spy. In any case, Jun Qianyan still felt that she was more reliable by herself.


    If he had known that this would happen, he might as well have said that it was better for him.


    If that was the case, he might not have been tricked by Chu Ran into a dungeon.


    "Halt."


    Di Mo Jiu called her back before she could even take a few steps.


    "I''ll go with you."


    In the end, Di Mo Jiu couldn''t bear to let Jun Qiyan take the risk alone. But before two seconds even passed, he had already reneged on his promise. He turned around and grabbed Jun Qianyan''s hand, forcing her to stop.


    Sure enough, no one could escape from the law of fragrance.


    Jun Qianyan swept a glance at the haze and secretly laughed twice. He turned his head to look at him and asked with raised eyebrows, "Then ¡­ What do you think? "


    "Let''s see where Ran is first."


    Jun Qiyan had thought of all the possibilities, but had never expected that Di Mo Jiu would think of Chu Ran!


    His brain exploded, and Jun Qiyan''s face fell, a cold light appearing in her eyes.


    Damn it...


    How could she explain to him that Chu Ran was actually a spy?


    How could he believe that!


    "In the end, Ran is only a girl, and her cultivation and skills are not as good as us ¡­" I was afraid she''d be caught too. "


    When Di Mo Jiu saw that Jun Qiyan''s expression changed in a flash, he didn''t think too much about it and only thought that she was jealous. He then explained at a moderate pace, "After all, we are still in the same team. We can''t leave her be now that we''ve escaped ¡­ Let''s meet up with her first."


    "If you want to go, go!"


    Being tricked once wasn''t enough. Do you still want to be tricked twice?


    Jun Qiyan''s face sank as he shook off Di Mo Jiu''s hand, coldly laughed and said, "Then why don''t we split up and move out? You go meet up with her, and I''ll go find out the news. We''ll meet again at the east gate after things have been settled!"


    As Jun Qiyan finished speaking and was about to continue walking, he suddenly heard someone call out to him from behind ¡ª ¡ª


    "Great, all of you have come out!"


    The devil, the devil is here!


    Jun Qiyan helplessly rolled her eyes and reluctantly turned around. The person who had stopped her was precisely Chu Ran, who had been silently criticizing her a moment ago.


    "Fortunately... Since all of you look fine, I am relieved! "


    Chu Ran looked up and down at Jun Qiyan and Di Mo Jiu for a moment with an excited expression on her face. She was so happy that she almost jumped up and down.


    Di Mo Jiu originally trusted Chu Ran. Seeing how worried she was for him and Jun Qianyan, he couldn''t help but say, "I''ve made you worry."


    What?


    Brother, did you forget that we went into the dungeon because of her?


    Jun Qiyan rolled his eyes in anger, but Di Mo Jiu didn''t know that even if Chu Ran saw him, she would pretend that she couldn''t see him and completely ignore him.


    Alright, now that Chu Ran has returned, don''t think that everything will go smoothly!


    Thinking about what Chu Ran had done, Jun Qiyan was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. He turned around and was about to leave when he was suddenly attracted by a dot of light on the right ¡ª that was ¡­ Archers?


    Jun Qiyan''s pupils constricted. She saw that the arrow of the archer had already left the bowstring, and he was currently thinking of Di Mo Jiu who was behind her!


    "Be careful!"


    Without enough time to think, Jun Qiyan froze the archer in the air, turned around and charged at Di Mo Jiu, blocking the sharp arrow.


    "Xiao Qi ¡­"


    The sound of arrows piercing through clothes resounded in Di Mo Jiu''s ears. He was still in shock as he watched arrows piercing through Jun Feiyan''s heart before he helplessly watched her fall to the ground.


    "Qi Qi!" Chu Ran screamed, and as she screamed, she attracted the attention of soldiers in the distance.


    "Xiao Qi, why are you ¡­ Mind your own business! "


    The bright red light hurt Di Mo Jiu''s eyes. He squatted down and picked up the bloody Jun Qiyan, scolding her with red eyes, "Do you think you''re doing this well? "Even without you, that arrow wouldn''t have been able to hurt me. But why did you ¡­"


    "Mo Jiu, stop talking. Let''s go!"


    Chu Ran looked at the surrounding scene, frowned, and anxiously shouted. However, the pride in her eyes betrayed her, "Before they come, let''s hurry up and go back!"


    Go back?


    So that''s how it is ¡­


    Jun Qiyan was lying in Di Mo Jiu''s arms. Chu Ran''s expression just now had completely disappeared from her eyes.


    From the very beginning when she had first attracted the soldiers, to when she had arranged for the archers to ambush her, Chu Ran''s goal was to prevent herself and Di Mo Jiu from getting close to the Deities Templar!


    Chu Ran''s mission was not to kill them, but to stop them from asking for information, and then arouse the suspicions of those in the upper echelons. To her, this was enough!


    "Chu ¡­" "Ran ¡­"


    Jun Qiyan coughed twice, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Before he could finish his sentence, Di Mo Jiu interrupted him, "If you have something to say, we''ll talk about it when we get back."


    Di Mo Jiu then picked up Jun Qiyan and walked towards the east gate.


    Chu Ran followed closely behind, but just as she was about to walk out of the east gate, Jun Qiyan clearly saw that she had dropped something like a piece of white paper.

 C194

    Jun Qiyan lay on her bed and thought about what had happened in the temple.


    She pursed her lips as the expression on her face became more and more unsightly.


    Just as Jun Qiyan was lost in thought, the door opened with a creak.


    A slender figure appeared in front of Jun Qianyan. She looked at the person in front of her, and a trace of surprise flashed through her eyes.


    "How did the Demon Lord have the time to come to my place?"


    Jun Qianyan''s cold voice slowly rang out, causing the expression of the person sitting in front of the bed to turn ugly.


    Can''t this damned woman say something nice?


    Even when he was sick, he still couldn''t calm down!


    Thinking of this, Di Mo Jiu''s face turned even uglier.


    Jun Qiyan stopped looking at Di Mo Jiu''s face. Although she was severely injured because of this man, she didn''t expect him to be grateful towards her.


    She wanted the love and concern of Lord Ninth, not charity!


    Di Mo Jiu''s face turned dark and his voice turned stiff.


    "As the Demon Lord, why can''t I be concerned about my subordinates?"


    So it was like that!


    Jun Qiyan coldly snorted, and continued, "In the end, Your Highness Demon Marshall has to put in a lot of effort! I''m fine. Isn''t your fianc¨¦e also frightened? You have time with me, do you want to comfort her? "


    His words might not even make Jun Qiyan feel like she was jealous of him ¡­


    Di Mo Jiu raised his eyebrows, and looked at the sickly man on the bed, "What''s wrong?" Is Miss Holy Maiden jealous? "


    Perhaps it was because her thoughts had been exposed, Jun Qianyan''s originally pale face suddenly turned green and red. She firmly bit her lip and continued, "Your Highness has overthought things. I''m just letting Your Highness know who is the most important person to you."


    Di Mo Jiu''s expression turned even more unsightly when he saw that Jun Qianyan was so stubborn.


    She stared at the person in front of her, and after a while, she said, "I can see that Miss Holy Maiden is very healthy right now, and even has the strength to argue with me. Since that''s the case, shouldn''t Miss Holy Maiden need my concern?"


    Di Mo Jiu said in a cold voice.


    Jun Qianyan glared furiously at him and bit her lips, not uttering a single word from the beginning to the end.


    There was a sense of awkwardness in the air.


    Just as Di Mo Jiu was preparing to leave, the door was pushed open again.


    Chu Ran looked at the two of them staring at each other, jealousy and resentment filling her heart.


    Just what was this woman based on?!


    Even he had to spend several years to get the care and concern of Di Mo Jiu, but the moment this woman appeared, everything was broken!


    Chu Ran''s eyes flashed with hatred, but it disappeared very quickly.


    Jun Qiyan looked at Chu Ran as a strange smile flashed across her face.


    "Mo Jiu, why are you here?"


    Chu Ran squinted at the person in front of her, then revealed a smile.


    "I''m here to see the Holy Maiden. Why do I need to tell you about this?" Di Mo Jiu said with an unfriendly face and a cold tone.


    When Chu Ran heard these words, her expression froze and a few traces of grievance appeared on her face.


    Mo Jiu, you know that''s not what I meant. Xiao Budian saved you, but he saved me.


    Chu Ran placed the black liquid in her hand in front of Jun Qiyan''s bed.


    The corner of Jun Qiyan''s mouth twitched as he looked at the pitch-black liquid.


    That night, he was right. Chu Ran wanted to make herself hear it clearly.


    Chu Shan looked at Jun Qiyan for a long time without moving, and then said with grievance, "Xiao Yan, are you afraid that I will drop something inside?"


    Jun Qiyan raised his long, shapely eyebrows. He was truly afraid that there was something bad mixed in there.


    Hearing Chu Ran''s words, Di Mo Jiu could not help but feel a bit annoyed. He knew that the two women didn''t like each other, but Di Mo Jiu still subconsciously didn''t believe that the little girl he watched grow up would do such a thing.


    "Ran wouldn''t do such a thing."


    Everyone knew who she was referring to.


    Chu Ran''s face flashed with pride. See!


    What was the use of this woman using any more tricks? In the end, didn''t Ninth Master still believe in him?


    But after a short while, Di Mo Jiu continued, "If the Holy Maiden drinks this bowl of medicine and any problems happen in the future, you will be the number one suspect."


    Mo Jiu stopped talking.


    Chu Ran stared at Jun Qianyan in disbelief. She clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her flesh, but she didn''t feel any pain. Fortunately, she didn''t do it this time.


    However, what did Di Mo Jiu mean by that, was he starting to suspect him?


    Thinking of this, Chu Ran''s face turned even uglier.


    However, Jun Qiyan did not feel happy about the latter half of Di Mo Jiu''s words.


    What was the use of punishing this woman when something happened to him?


    With a taut face, Jun Qianyin finished the pill in front of her in one gulp. Then, she coldly said, "I''m tired. Miss Chu and Your Highness should leave as soon as possible."


    As soon as he finished speaking, he covered his head with the blanket as if he was in a bad mood.


    With an angry look on his face, Di Mo Jiu stared silently at Jun Qianyan, cursing her in his heart for not knowing what was good for her. Then, he flung the door open and left.


    He really had nothing better to do! Why did he come here to suffer when he had nothing better to do?


    After seeing Chu Ran and Di Mo Jiu leave, Jun Qiyan also gradually entered the dreamy state.


    The next morning, Jun Qiyan woke up early. She narrowed her eyes, and the morning sunlight was somewhat dazzling, causing her to feel waves of discomfort.


    He had already been in the Devil Realm for more than a month.


    Jun Qiyan stretched lazily, feeling that she had almost recovered.


    By now, Yan Ruyu had already arrived at the Demon World, and it was about time he let Nie Baishuang come over. Thinking of this, Jun Qianyan got up and went to Nie Baishuang''s residence.


    Nie Baishuang''s room was still neat and tidy as always. It was already late in the morning, and she wasn''t in her room anymore. There was a series of soft shouts from the soldiers coming from the field, as if they were training.


    Jun Qiyan raised an eyebrow as he looked at the armoured Nie Baishuang. She had a heroic air and gave off the impression that Nie Baishuang was made of the material of a general.


    Jun Qiyan whistled towards Nie Baishuang. Nie Baishuang frowned and subconsciously turned around to see that person sitting on a tree branch, smiling at him while waving at him.


    Nie Baishuang was surprised for a moment, but she didn''t have the doubtful gaze of the soldiers as she directly pounced towards Jun Qiyan.


    Jun Qiyan caught Nie Baishuang with a smile on his face.


    "I''m back." Even though the two of them hadn''t known each other for long, but Nie Baishuang truly liked people from the same world, and the two of them seemed to depend on each other.


    "Did you really come in contact with Ninth Master? How is he? "What about you?"


    Jun Qiyan didn''t know whether to laugh or cry as she heard this string of words.


    What about him?


    She couldn''t possibly say that Ninth Lord wanted to throw her all over the back mountains to feed the wolves, could she?


    "Oh my god!" Dye, you''re really too powerful! "


    Jun Qiyan didn''t know whether to laugh or cry at Nie Baishuang''s excited expression.


    Jun Qiyan looked at him and chuckled. "Well, first of all, you get agitated. I have some good news for you."


    "Yan Ruyu, we''ve found it."


    Yan Ruyu?!


    Nie Baishuang was stunned for a moment before her face turned red and she hugged Jun Feiyan.


    "Dye, you, you, how is he? Are you all right? "I ¡­"


    The more she listened to Nie Baishuang''s incoherent words, the more her smile grew.

 C195

    "The reason why I came here this time is to bring you back to the Demon Palace. I am currently a Saintess and I plan to bring you to a place where I can stay and take care of you ¡­ There''s something between us. "


    Although it was said to be personal care for living, Jun Qiyan and Nie Baishuang both knew that this was a way of putting it.


    Nie Baishuang had no objection to this matter. The two of them said that they were ready to return to the Demon Palace after cleaning up.


    When Jun Qianyan arrived here, she had already greeted the officials of this area. Although Nie Baishuang was capable, none of them dared to stop Miss Holy Maiden from shouting.


    When the two of them arrived at the demon''s palace, the first one they met was Chu Ran. She looked at the two of them and said in a weird tone, "Yo, Miss Holy Maiden recovered?"


    Jun Qiyan looked coldly at Chu Ran before continuing, "There''s no need for Miss Chu to worry."


    "Humph!" Who knows if you have any bad intentions in walking out so early in the morning. "


    After Chu Shan said this, she sized Nie Baishuang up and down. A trace of disdain flashed in her eyes. With a glance, she looked like a wild girl that came from the countryside! He couldn''t show any cards!


    "Miss Chu means that where should I go with your permission? Who do you think you are! "


    According to position, Jun Qianyan was a Holy Maiden, second only to the Demon Lord. Chu Ran was only the fianc¨¦e of the nominal God Mo Jiu, but she did not have any position. The reason why everyone was polite to Chu Ran was all because of Di Mo Jiu.


    Chu Ran naturally knew this fact in her heart, but she was already used to being flattered from the start, so she was unable to accept it.


    "You!" Chu Ran raised her hand and saw that no one was trying to hit Jun Qiyan.


    Jun Qiyan narrowed her cold eyes. Just as she was about to make a move, Nie Baishuang moved like a step.


    Nie Baishuang held the hand that Chu Ran was hanging in the air tightly, staring at her with a cold expression.


    Chu Ran never thought that a wild girl from the countryside would dare to treat her like this. She was instantly filled with anger.


    Just as he was about to open his mouth and curse, a burst of laughter came from the tree branches, "Di Mo Jiu, this place is really lively!"


    After he finished speaking, a red figure descended from the sky.


    That person was definitely not anyone else ¡­ Nie Baishuang thought about Yan Ruyu day and night.


    It was obvious that Yan Ruyu didn''t know Nie Baishuang at all.


    He raised his eyebrows and looked at Nie Baishuang with a frivolous gaze. After that, a hint of amazement rose in his heart.


    It was his dish!


    Strangely speaking, Yan Ruyu himself belonged to the person who could only take demonic energy from demons.


    However, the girls he liked were the kind that gave off a heroic vibe.


    As a woman, Nie Baishuang''s temperament couldn''t be compared to an ordinary person''s since she was able to reach the position of general!


    "Miss Chu, you being so rude is not something a girl should look like!"


    Facing Yan Ruyu''s reprimand, Chu Ran''s face froze for a moment, then she fiercely glared at Yan Ruyu.


    Although she wanted to flare up, Chu Ran knew clearly in her heart that she couldn''t afford to offend Yan Ruyu!


    Looking at the three people in front of her, Chu Ran gritted her teeth and shouted at them, "You three have more people, so naturally we''ll take it from you!"


    Listening to Chu Ran''s clamor, the corners of Jun Qiyan''s mouth curled into a mocking smile.


    If it wasn''t for this woman coming to cause trouble, if she hadn''t extended her hand to hit him, why would Yan Ruyu have stood on his side?


    After Chu Ran finished speaking, she turned around and left. He knew that even if he were to continue making trouble, he would not gain anything from it. After all, it would only make Yan Ruyu more disgusted with him!


    Seeing Chu Ran''s voice as he left, Yan Ruyu let out a sigh, then continued, "You two don''t have to mind, she''s still young and inexperienced, I''m like you two apologizing."


    He didn''t forget to bow after he finished speaking.


    Seeing this, Jun Qiyan could not say anything else.


    Chu Ran looked at the person in front of her and suddenly felt upset.


    Back in the East Peak Mainland, this was how this man protected Zi Yue ¡­


    He didn''t know why, but he felt a burst of unhappiness in his heart. Even the joy he had when he saw Chu Ran had completely disappeared.


    "Still young? That person and woman seems to be around our age, right? Your majesty only wants to push away the responsibility for Chu Ran, right? "


    His words were filled with questions.


    Nie Baishuang tightened her face, showing an unfriendly expression.


    The smile on Yan Ruyu''s face also vanished as she looked at Nie Baishuang with a deep gaze that no longer had that interest from earlier.


    Yan Ruyu said that he was usually smiling, but Jun Qiyan knew that it was only on the surface.


    This man was the same as Di Mo, arrogant and conceited, making a decision that no one could question.


    Nie Baishuang''s words could be said to be a challenge to Yan Ruyu''s mental state.


    However, the things that she expected did not happen. Yan Ruyu smiled, smiled, and said, "Lady, the lesson is the truth."


    Then he continued, "May I know Miss Fang''s name?"


    Nie Baishuang was stunned. Although things were progressing in a good direction, she was still very unhappy.


    They had just met and this man was already talking to them? Did he know how to pick up girls?


    Thinking of this, Nie Baishuang''s face turned even uglier.


    However, Yan Ruyu did not know whahee was thinking. As she looked at the person in front of his with a gaze that he thought was gentle, she only got a wave of white eyes.


    Then, only his back was left behind.


    To be honest, this was the first time in his life that Yan Ruyu had been flung so hard by a woman. The desire to conquer in his heart immediately ignited. Interesting!


    When Jun Qiyan and Nie Baishuang returned to the room, Nie Baishuang was looking off into the distance with an unsightly expression. It was unknown what she was thinking about.


    Jun Qianyan initially thought that Nie Baishuang was unable to accept Yan Ruyu''s cold attitude. She comforted her, "Don''t be sad, Di Mo Jiu is much colder to me than Yan Ruyu is to you."


    Jun Qiyan puffed his cheeks with a wronged look on his face.


    Nie Baishuang furrowed her brows before she continued, "It''s not because of Yan Ruyu''s attitude ¡­"


    Halfway through her words, she seemed to catch on to the key words spoken by Jun Qianyan. Nie Baishuang''s brows scrunched up as she continued to ask, "Have you suffered a lot here?"


    Faced with Nie Baishuang''s questioning, Jun Qiyan smiled and continued, "I don''t blame her. After all, he doesn''t recognize me. Since her fiancee is Chu Ran, it''s only natural that she would treat me coldly."


    Listening to Jun Qianyan''s self-consoling speech, Nie Baishuang felt a burst of discomfort in her heart. Looking at the person in front of her, she felt a bit of heartache.


    How hard it must be to see someone you love being close to another woman.


    On the other hand, Jun Qiyan didn''t feel that he would feel really uncomfortable if Di Mo Jiu really abandoned Chu Ran and just stayed with her.


    After all, it was inevitable that Di Mo Jiu would abandon Chu Ran today and himself tomorrow!


    Nie Baishuang seemed to understand Jun Qiyan''s inner thoughts. She sighed, and her heart felt a little depressed.


    "That''s right. I actually hope that Yan Ruyu can be like your Di Mo Jiu."


    The two women sighed.


    "Chu Ran is a traitor to the demons."


    After pausing for a moment, Jun Qiyan said, "Nie Baishuang is one of us, so it can be said that she doesn''t hold anything back when she tells Nie Baishuang everything she knows."


    When Nie Baishuang heard this, a hint of anger appeared between her brows.


    "What did you say?" Is she a traitor? "


    "Nie Baishuang hates third parties and traitors the most. To her, these two are unforgivable."


    Jun Qiyan looked at the astonished look on the man''s face and continued, "Moreover, she should have brought Di Mo Jiu a green hat."


    At this point, Jun Qianyan couldn''t help but smile evilly, making it so that the Ninth Master would always bully him!


    When Nie Baishuang heard this, she couldn''t help laughing out loud. Who would have thought that Tang Tang''s Demon Lord would be crowned?


    Seeing Jun Qiyan''s crafty appearance, Nie Baishuang''s mood improved a lot.


    Just as the two were whispering to each other, Di Moyu walked in. Seeing that there was an extra woman in Jun Qianyan''s room, Di Moyu raised his eyebrows as if he wanted to ask about Nie Baishuang''s identity.


    "This is my personal maid. What''s wrong, is there anything wrong with Ninth Master?"

 C196

    Di Mo Jiu''s expression changed upon hearing Jun Qiyan''s provocative words. Perhaps it was because he was not surprised, but he forced himself not to react and said with a deep voice, "I''m here to invite you to the main hall."


    With that, he left Jun Qiyan''s room.


    She stretched lazily and didn''t notice the shocked expression on Nie Baishuang''s face.


    "How did you survive until now?"


    She swallowed her saliva and couldn''t help but ask. Jun Qiyan was definitely the strongest person in this world that dared to treat someone as impudent as the Demon Lord, whether it was ten thousand years later or ten thousand years ago.


    If it were anyone else, perhaps Di Mo Jiu would have thrown it away to feed the fishes. But what about Jun Qiyan? He was even slowly changing his clothes.


    Jun Qiyan gawked for a moment, then smiled and continued, "He''s probably used to it. After all, I was much more presumptuous in the beginning."


    Nie Baishuang: "¡­"


    Can you get used to this kind of thing?


    If it was anyone else, wouldn''t they be thrown away and fed to the fish the first time?


    The relationship between the two of them was really...


    Nie Baishuang sighed. This was, after all, between the two of them, something that she knew she couldn''t interfere in.


    Furthermore, to notify Jun Qiyan to go to Deities Templar was something that anyone could do. As the Demon Lord, why would Di Mo Jiu come personally?


    In the eyes of Nie Baishuang, this was simply an act or performance that Di Moyan had taken a fancy to, Jun Qianyan!


    When Jun Qiyan arrived at the main hall, everyone was already seated. She leisurely found her seat and sat down.


    "Miss Holy Maiden, I won''t remind you that Her Highness the Demon Lord hates people who aren''t punctual the most."


    As he finished speaking, he did not forget to coldly snort. Hearing the other party''s provocation, Jun Qiyan smiled. That person was Chu Ran''s lackey, and was usually the leader of Chu Ran''s lackeys.


    "Oh? What did Seventh Guard mean by this? How come I don''t know when I was late? "


    Jun Qiyan tilted her head as she asked. She had entered the room during the last few seconds because she didn''t want to have to deal with these people, but she didn''t expect that they would still come looking for trouble.


    Seventh Guard was surprised for a moment, then pointed at the clock and was about to say something, but was interrupted by Di Mo Jiu: "Okay, I called you guys here for an important matter!"


    Since Di Mo Jiu had already spoken, it was obviously not convenient for the others to say anything. However, the most angry one was still Chu Ran.


    "Tomorrow, all the nobles of the demon race will come to the Demon Palace. You all know what to do."


    As the name implied, the Demon Palace was similar to some imperial relatives of the human race. In addition to the war period, the intention of Di Mo Jiu''s words was obviously to let everyone sleep in front of the nobles and have them contribute to the war.


    Jun Qiyan curled his lips. Once the war began, the commoners would be the most innocent. It would be good enough if those nobles didn''t take advantage of the chaos to leave. How could they expect them to donate money and manpower? Wasn''t this just wishful thinking?


    However, Jun Qianyan didn''t dare to say these words out loud in front of Di Mo Jiu, saying that if he were to say them out loud in front of these people, he would immediately be impeached and sentenced to death by hanging!


    He didn''t want to die yet.


    "This mission will mainly be given to the Holy Maiden."


    Before Jun Qiyan could react, Di Mo Jiu had already given the order.


    What did she just hear?!


    "Hey, man, I want your life, and I want your money?"


    It would be a wonder if she wasn''t beaten to death!


    "Hehe, the Demon Lord has overestimated me. I am just a little girl that does not have that much ability!"


    Jun Qiyan rejected him without a second thought.


    Di Mo Jiu glared back at him coldly.


    "What does Miss Holy Maiden mean by this?" My Demon Palace has never raised idle people! "


    A large part of the Holy Maiden''s mission was diplomacy, so how could Jun Qianyan be willing to give up on Di Mo Jiu if she wanted to pick a stick?


    Hearing Di Mo Jiu''s unquestionable order, Jun Qianyan''s face turned black. At this moment, she wanted to grab Di Mo Jiu by the collar and tell him that she couldn''t do it.


    "Alright, since there''s no meaning, let''s disperse."


    Di Mo Jiu said to the crowd, ignoring Jun Qianyan''s small look of protest.


    Jun Qiyan looked at the departing figure of Di Mo Jiu.


    He had better pray that it did not fall into his hands! Otherwise, he would!


    Jun Qiyan secretly drew a picture of Di Mo Jiu''s miniature doll in his heart, then he ruthlessly abused it.


    In the end, the army got up and sighed, and the order was given to return to the room.


    Nie Baishuang looked at Jun Qiyan''s seemingly endless cooking. She couldn''t help asking, "What happened to you?"


    Jun Qiyan looked at the person in front of him and sighed as he recounted what had happened.


    "Why don''t we go rob? Even robbing is more reliable than that."


    Jun Qiyan rolled his eyes as if he was joking.


    Nie Baishuang smiled as she interrupted Jun Qiyan''s dangerous thoughts. "We can do this ¡­"


    The next morning, Jun Qiyan took out a piece from the cabinet. She asked Nie Baishuang to modify her dress.


    According to what Nie Baishuang said last night, Nie Baishuang was once a tailor, so Jun Qiyan''s brain went wild. She asked Nie Baishuang to change a dress for her and the two of them saw a red evening dress appear in front of them ¡­


    The dress was obviously a modern evening dress.


    After the soldier got up and changed into his skirt, he looked at his exquisite collarbone and long legs in the mirror with satisfaction ¡­


    Her body, which could move a man''s heart and make a woman jealous, was exposed to the air.


    Jun Qiyan looked at herself in the mirror with satisfaction. She couldn''t do anything about it, and she spoke bluntly. What if she couldn''t make enough investment and got beaten to death?


    This can sell me a piece of my own flesh


    In the 24th century, he was already considered conservative, okay?


    Thinking of this, Liu Ming felt quite relieved.


    The corner of Nie Baishuang''s mouth couldn''t help twitching as she looked at Jun Qianyan. Why does she have a bad feeling about this?


    "Are you sure you want to wear this?"


    Nie Baishuang couldn''t help asking. The woman only wanted to tell her that something big was going to happen tonight.


    Jun Qiyan nodded. Men were always more lenient towards beautiful women.


    Jun Qianyan silently prayed in her heart and then said, "I can take your life." When she said this, she wouldn''t be beaten to death.


    The banquet quickly began. In order to create a sensation, Jun Qiyan had purposely left it to the last person to appear on stage.


    When Jun Qiyan was about to enter the field, Nie Baishuang couldn''t help but ask again in a gentle tone, "Have you really thought about it?"


    Jun Qiyan gave him a comforting smile, then walked into the banquet.


    The instant Jun Qiyan stepped into the banquet, the entire place suddenly fell into a deathly silence. Countless people''s eyes landed on her body. Her bright red dress, coupled with the petite person in front of her, made her seem vulgar.


    Di Mo Jiu looked at the person in front of him, the anger in his eyes could be faintly seen. What was this woman trying to do? Who did he wear this to seduce?

 C197

    Di Mo could feel a burst of discomfort in his heart whenever he thought about how countless men would stare at Jun Feiyan.


    His rationality was also instantly burnt to ashes. Di Mo Jiu strode forward and directly carried the man in front of him on his shoulder.


    Jun Qiyan felt the world spinning around him. Before he could even think about what had happened, Di Mo Jiu had already brought him to a corner of the room.


    After that, he placed both hands on the two sides of Jun Qiyan''s head, completely controlling the woman within his arms.


    Di Mo Jiu''s eyes burned with a peculiar rage, his gaze inadvertently came in contact with the two snow-white lumps on Jun Qiyan''s chest.


    Di Mo''s eyes that were filled with rage were immediately replaced by a peculiar emotion. But when Di Mo Jiu thought of Jun Qiyan''s expression, he was also repeatedly looked at by the other men. Di Mo''s throat was choked like a fly, and he couldn''t say anything for a long time.


    This woman was indeed frivolous! Didn''t he say that he fell in love with her at first sight? However, what was the meaning behind wearing all of his clothes to come here?


    "Ninth Lord, what do you mean by this?"


    Jun Qianyan angrily glared at Di Mo Jiu as if he wanted him to take responsibility.


    The scene of him being carried away by Di Mo Jiu had finally been witnessed by everyone. After that, when she was talking to someone else, who would bother about him?


    Others ignored her, so how could she get any investment?


    Jun Qiyan was so angry that he couldn''t even breathe.


    Di Mo Jiu''s beautiful eyebrows instantly twitched; this woman was too unreasonable!


    "Or are you jealous that I came out in this outfit?"


    Jun Qianyan seemed to have thought of something as she raised her eyebrows. Her fair hands suddenly wrapped around Di Mo Jiu''s neck as she spoke with a face full of provocation.


    Di Mo Jiu looked at the small face that was almost within his reach, and he suddenly had the exact same feeling in his heart.


    How could this woman be jealous of him when she said she was jealous?


    Jun Qiyan narrowed her eyes, not looking at Di Mo Jiu, then turned and left.


    Di Mo Jiu recalled the plot and recalled what you just said. He was unable to recover from it for a long time ¡­


    Jealous?


    Could it be that he liked some woman ¡­


    Di Mo Jiu''s heart was in a mess. He knew that in the beginning, he was extremely disgusted with this woman. Not only was she dissolute, she was also seducing his subordinates.


    But since when did this dislike change?


    Was it this woman who helped him block the damage? Or had she saved him time and time again?


    Di Mo''s eyes turned even darker.


    When Jun Qiyan arrived at the main hall, she saw many people pointing fingers at her. Most of the women said that they were being disrespectful and seducing others. Most of the men just teased her and spoke vulgar words.


    Although demons were relatively more open-minded towards sex, people like him, who had a broken leg and a broken arm, were still rarely seen. Furthermore, the Holy Maiden of the demon race was mostly pure and flawless, whereas people like him were few and far between.


    "Miss, do you have time?"


    A handsome man appeared in front of Jun Qiyan and asked.


    Jun Qiyan narrowed her eyes and sized up the man in front of her. The man in front of her was gentle and elegant, giving her a feeling of comfort when she looked at him.


    Devil race men were extremely rare. Jun Qianyan smiled as she stared at the person in front of her and slowly asked, "Sir, do you need anything?"


    The person in front of them was the young master of the Guan Family, one of the Four Great Families of the demon race. It could be said that he was the Prince Charming in the hearts of countless young ladies.


    Jun Qiyan''s heart had already secretly marked him with the word money.


    Guan You smiled, and then said slowly: "Nothing, I just feel that this year''s Holy Maiden of the Devil Realm ¡­" Very different. "


    Jun Qiyan stared at the person in front of her for a long time without saying a word.


    "Miss must have a purpose in wearing these clothes, right?"


    Just as Jun Qiyan was about to turn around and leave, Guan You suddenly spoke up.


    Jun Qiyan narrowed her eyes as the corners of her lips curled up in a smile.


    "That''s right, to be honest, your Demon Lord asked me to kill you ¡­" I thought men would show mercy to pretty girls... And then I got someone to make me these clothes. "


    Jun Qiyan laughed even more wantonly.


    Guan You did not expect that Jun Qiyan''s words would be so straightforward. He gave a candid smile, and slightly flirtatiously lifted Jun Qianyan''s chin, forcing her to look directly at him.


    Jun Qiyan''s eyes turned slightly cold. He didn''t like people being so close to him.


    Jun Qiyan subconsciously took a step back, and widened the distance between them.


    Guan You had a deep look in his eyes as his lips curled up in a strange curve.


    "How is it ¡­?" "You will stay with me for the night, and I will follow your lead, Miss Holy Maiden Guan Wei!" Guan You said slowly, with a trace of undetectable disdain in his eyes.


    Jun Qiyan''s gaze turned cold. He was about to open his mouth to say something when a deep voice came from behind him, "Young Master Guan''s taste is unique. What kind of woman can have a mouth like this?"


    Di Mo Jiu narrowed his eyes, his voice was as cold as ice, and the aura around him was fully released.


    He didn''t even spare a glance at Jun Qianyan, who was standing to the side. His ice-cold gaze was locked directly on Guan You.


    Guan You faintly smiled and replied, "Lord Demon Lord, you were too lenient with your management. It''s not up to you to decide what kind of woman to look for ¡­ "


    The tense atmosphere immediately spread to the surroundings, as everyone looked at the three people in the center of the banquet as if they were watching a good show.


    The King of Hell''s Fighting Fool was in trouble. Jun Qiyan stood in the middle, and immediately felt what it meant by wanting to cry but having no tears.


    Di Mo Jiu squinted his eyes, "Why aren''t you getting the hell back? Do you still want to be disgraced here?! "


    These words were not polite at all. Jun Qiyan''s expression changed, but he didn''t go against Di Mo Jiu.


    Di Mo Jiu looked at the distant back of Jun Qianyan, his heart was filled with mixed emotions for some time.


    After Jun Qiyan returned to his room, he sat down on the bed.


    He had silently cursed Di Mo Jiu no less than a hundred times in his heart.


    He didn''t even notice the abnormality of Nie Baishuang.


    At this moment, Nie Baishuang''s face was completely red, and her eyes were filled with resentment.


    "Dye, how about the banquet when you get back? "Did it go well?" Nie Baishuang was the first to break the silence in the air.


    Only then did Jun Qianyan''s complexion lighten. She curled her lips and said with an unfriendly expression, "Enough. If it wasn''t for you, Di Mo Jiu, being such a bastard, I would have taken care of those foxes long ago."


    Looking at Jun Qiyan''s resentful expression, Nie Baishuang also curled her lips.


    Jun Qiyan took a deep breath, and gradually began to understand why modern girls called men as hog.


    The darkness of the night gradually grew thicker. Jun Qiyan was turning over and over in her service; clearly, she was unable to sleep.


    Jun Qiyan''s nerves tightened as he heard a soft noise coming from outside.


    Who would come back so late?


    Could it be Chu Ran Ran?


    A trace of hostility flashed past Jun Qiyan''s eyes, and her body couldn''t help but tense up.


    The other party didn''t seem to be aware of Jun Qiyan''s abnormality, as they continued to slowly walk in step by step.


    Jun Qi was extremely nervous. Her eyelashes trembled as she waited for the person in front of her to respond.


    However, even after Jun Qiyan closed her eyes and waited for an unknown amount of time, that person still did not show any reaction, like the air.


    Jun Qiyan couldn''t help but open his eyes. The scene before him caused him to be completely stunned.


    "Ninth Master?!" If you don''t sleep in the middle of the night, why are you here?! "


    Jun Qiyan asked as he looked at Di Mo Jiu who was sitting in front of his bed in astonishment.


    Di Mo Jiu didn''t expect that the person on the bed would actually wake up so quickly. Di Mo Jiu awkwardly stood there in the face of Jun Qianyan''s questioning.


    Faced with Jun Qiyan''s suspicious and probing gaze, Di Mo Jiu covered his face and coughed lightly, and then said in a deep voice, "Why aren''t you sleeping at this late hour?"


    Di Mo Jiu''s change in topic was undoubtedly stiff, and Jun Feiyan''s face couldn''t help but reveal a strange expression.


    Could it be that Ninth Master ¡­ Was he a freak?!


    With this thought in mind, Jun Qiyan''s gaze towards Di Mo Jiu could not help but become somewhat strange.


    Di Mo Jiu also knew that he was like a vulgar uncle peeping at a beautiful girl, but she couldn''t possibly tell this woman that he came here because he saw her makeup at the party and was so distracted that he couldn''t sleep at all, and couldn''t control himself.


    Lord Demon Lord indicated that he had never felt so ashamed in his entire life.


    As Jun Qianyan looked at Di Mo Jiu''s ugly expression, a bold thought appeared in his mind, "Di Mo Jiu, could it be that you''re ¡­ Is he a pervert?! "


    When Jun Qianyan was speaking, Di Mo Jiu was initially moved, but when he heard the last part of this reckless woman''s words, his face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.


    "Hurry up and sleep. I haven''t settled the score with you for tonight''s matter!"


    With that, he disappeared.


    Jun Qiyan took a long time to recover from his shock. What did that man say?


    He was the one who did such a dirty thing! He actually dared to come and accuse me?!


    Jun Qiyan puffed up his cheeks, as if he was venting his dissatisfaction by pulling himself closer to the blanket.


    After Di Mo Jiu left, Jun Qiyan fell into a deep slumber and slept until the next day.

 C198

    When he woke up the next day, he didn''t care if she was still injured. Jun Qianyan was immediately sent to the main hall for a meeting.


    Even if he didn''t think about it, Jun Qiyan still knew why.


    The corners of Jun Feiyan''s mouth couldn''t help but twitch as she looked at the people in the great hall.


    "Miss Holy Maiden is truly shameless!" This is really throwing our faces away! "


    "Even those nobles don''t know how to laugh at us from behind."


    The two people who spoke were aristocrats of the older generation of the demon race, and were incompatible with the new aristocrats.


    Jun Qiyan secretly rolled his eyes in his heart. If it wasn''t for you, the Demon Lord, doing naughty things ¡­


    "Alright, I have something important to say to all of you." Di Mo Jiu looked at the people on the scene and said reluctantly, "The Guan Family came to find me last night and expressed their full support for this war."


    As soon as Di Mo Jiu finished his sentence, the entire audience turned silent. Even Jun Qianyan was surprised. She could not help but look at the people on the seat of honor.


    The faces of the two old men who had mocked them earlier reddened. They instantly felt what was called awkwardness, and Jun Qiyan froze on the spot.


    The Guan Family expressed their support?!


    She had originally thought that with her attitude from yesterday, she would have been lucky enough to not be blacklisted. Could it be that that young master Hua Guan was a masochist?


    The corners of Jun Qiyan''s mouth twitched as she felt that she had discovered some incredible secret.


    However, even though Jun Qiyan had rendered meritorious service, many people still began to feel sour ¡ª ¡ª


    "Miss Holy Maiden is really capable. She can ''sleep with any kind of man''!"


    A person who makes sarcastic remarks does not like others. It is really a Chu Ran who dislikes Jun Qiyan.


    As Zhu Rong said this, Di Mo Jiu''s face turned ugly. Everyone present could see that Di Mo Jiu was in an extremely bad mood.


    However, it was clear that Ran Ran was not a person in the "Eye" range. She said in a strange tone, "The clothes that Miss Holy Maiden wore yesterday really blinded the eyes of our group. Those who know that you are the Holy Maiden of the Demon race, those who don''t know ¡­" "And here I thought you were a prostitute from a brothel ¡­"


    The moment those words came out, the surroundings became frighteningly quiet. There was only a loud bang!


    Di Mo Jiu slapped on the table and looked at Chu Ran who was sitting on the seat of honor with a sullen face.


    Everyone couldn''t help but secretly sigh in their hearts. This Chu Ran really didn''t know how to conduct herself!


    No matter how bad Jun Qiyan was, he was still the Holy Maiden chosen by the Demon Lord himself.


    Chu Ran''s words not only belittled Jun Qianyan, but also criticized Di Mo Jiu''s judgement.


    How did the Demon Lord manage to step down from the stage?


    If it was an ordinary person, they would have stopped talking here. However, Chu Ran''s mind was clearly different from an ordinary person''s. She looked at Di Mo Jiu''s gloomy face and could not help but become even more impudent.


    "What did I say wrong?! It was simply a disgrace for this woman to be dressed like that to carry out a mission! It should be pulled out to soak in the pig cages! "


    Even Jun Qiyan had been shocked by her words. He thought to himself that this woman was probably stupid.


    "Hurry up and send Miss Chu back!"


    This was the first time that Chu Ran didn''t understand Di Mo Jiu''s cold expression when he spoke to her. However, Di Mo Jiu''s secret guard didn''t give Chu Ran a chance to speak again. Looking at her disappearing back figure, Jun Qianyan shook her head.


    How could Di Mo Jiu be so blind to set his eyes on that idiot?!


    "I''ve always been one for results! Since the Holy Maiden had convinced the Guan Family, the process was not important. I don''t want to hear those words just now! You all heard me clearly?! "


    Di Mo Jiu''s voice was as cold as an ice cave, and his face was filled with coldness.


    Jun Qiyan''s heart warmed. This man had finally done what a man should have done!


    Jun Qiyan silently cursed in his heart.


    After Chu Ran was forced into the room, her face was filled with anger.


    It''s all because of that woman Jun Qiyan!


    Chu Ran''s eyes flashed with killing intent. Di Mo Jiu was actually going against her for that bitch!


    After all, ever since the day she had met Di Mo Jiu, Di Mo Jiu had never said a single harsh word to him!


    But today?


    He actually let the dark guard drag him back to his room in front of so many people ¨C just because he said the truth?


    Chu Ran expressed that she could not accept this contrast.


    The hatred and hatred towards Jun Qiyan in his heart had also become deeper and deeper.


    Suddenly, Chu Ran seemed to remember something. She walked to her bed and took out a white porcelain bottle from under the pillow.


    It was given to Chu Ran by the third prince of the god race.


    Chu Ran squinted her eyes. Originally, she didn''t want to use this thing, but she definitely couldn''t let that woman ruin her plans!


    Jun Qiyan, don''t blame me for being ruthless ¡­


    In another room, the fingers of Jun Qiyan''s left hand tightly gripped a corner of the table, while his right hand tightly pulled at the clothes on his right chest. His face was as pale as paper, and he was sweating profusely.


    There was poison on that arrow!


    A burning pain spread from her chest all the way to her entire body. Jun Feiyan was in so much pain that she couldn''t even moan. She could only open her mouth and kneel on the ground in extreme pain.


    Weird, why was it fine two days ago, but today ¡­


    Gritting her teeth tightly, Jun Qiyan struggled to her feet and leaned against the table. Slowly, she moved to the bed and lay down.


    Should Not... He shouldn''t have done that!


    Jun Qiyan closed her eyes, the pain made her hatred grow even stronger ¡ª she should not have blocked this arrow for him!


    However, his performance today was not bad. At least ¡­ The trust in Chu Ran had started to crumble, right?


    As Jun Qiyan thought of this, she suddenly felt somewhat comforted.


    "Xiao Qi, are you there?"


    The sudden knock on the door shook Jun Qiyan, but the pain in her chest could not force her out of her bed. She could only endure the pain and reply intermittent, "I ¡­ I just went to sleep.


    She was also lying on the bed, and based on the current situation, she couldn''t get off the bed. She wasn''t lying when she said she would sleep.


    "I just talked to the nobles, there''s something... I want to talk to you. "


    Outside the door, Di Mo Jiu was silent for a long time before he opened his mouth to speak. However, the low tone of his voice allowed Jun Qiyan to guess the seriousness of his expression without thinking.


    After all, he had come back from the Aristocrat Clan, something must have happened. Otherwise, he wouldn''t have come to inform him immediately.


    "..." "Fine."


    Jun Qiyan gritted her teeth as she struggled to raise her upper body. "Then wait for me, I''ll ¡­"


    Just as her hand touched the table, just as she was about to descend to the ground, she didn''t expect her hand strength to be unable to support her entire body. Jun Qianyan fell to the ground before she could make a move.

 C199

    "Xiao Qi?"


    Di Mo Jiu who was outside the door heard the muffled sound from inside and rushed in subconsciously. When he saw Jun Qianyan lying on the ground in pain, he rushed over and ordered, "Doctor Xuan!"


    "No need ¡­"


    Jun Qiyan lay in Di Mo Jiu''s embrace, her face pale as she shook her head in refusal.


    After all, this was just a matter of a day or two.


    "Don''t talk."


    Di Mo Jiu''s calm expression interrupted Jun Qiyan''s words. He carried her across his arms and gently placed her on the bed.


    The scene of Jun Qiyan blocking the poison arrow once again surfaced before his eyes, accompanied by a wave of pain that came from his right chest.


    "Holy Maiden ¡­" What happened to the Holy Maiden? "


    The doctor rushed over very quickly. When he saw Jun Qiyan''s face twist in pain, he frowned and hurried over. "Where is the Holy Maiden in pain?"


    "She was shot ¡ª just above the heart."


    Di Mo Jiu was pushed aside by the doctor, but he couldn''t bear to see the pained look on Jun Qianyan''s face. He could only turn his head to the side and say, "Go check if the wound is infected or if the arrow is poisonous and has not been treated in time."


    "Then... "Then I''ll have to trouble you to go outside the door and wait ¡­"


    The doctor looked at Jun Qiyan, then at Di Mo Jiu, and said carefully.


    "Why should I go out?"


    Di Mo Jiu''s eyes opened wide, standing there motionlessly.


    The doctor shivered. Di Moyu was the one who had overpowered him, so the doctor had no choice but to bite the bullet and carefully cut open Jun Qiyan''s shirt with trembling hands.


    The wound on his right chest was red and swollen, continuously emitting yellow pus. There was even dark red blood that was almost black oozing out.


    With this glance, the Doctor was able to determine that Jun Feiyan''s wound was infected. Judging from the dark red color, it was most likely due to the poison in the arrow.


    "How is she?"


    Seeing the physician''s expression darken, Di Mo Jiu knew that Jun Qiyan''s wounds were indeed a little tricky to treat. He rushed forward and pushed the physician aside with one hand, asking, "What medicine do you have? Hurry up and prescribe it!"


    "Yes ¡­" "Yes!"


    The doctor obediently retreated after being yelled at. Jun Qiyan, who was lying on the bed, had obviously exhausted too much of her energy. She had already fainted.


    "Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi?"


    Di Mo Jiu shook Jun Qiyan''s head a few times, but she didn''t show any reaction. Her face was pale and her lips were so white that not even a speck of blood could be seen on them.


    Damn it... Why didn''t he notice the hidden archers at that time?


    Moreover, why would he let Jun Qiyan block this arrow for him?


    Staring at the shocking wound, Di Mo Jiu could feel the temperature of his entire body decreasing. Right now, even his hands and feet were ice-cold.


    "Coming ¡­" The painkillers are here! "


    The doctor rushed back with a black medicinal pill in his hand. He handed it to Di Mo Jiu in a flurry and said, "I''ll go and boil the medicine right now!"


    Di Mo Jiu did not say a word and silently took the pill, treating it as a silent permission for the doctor to withdraw.


    Qing Shui pinched Jun Qiyan''s chin and forcefully fed her the medicine. Di Mo Jiu then helped her wipe off the cold sweat that had soaked her clothes.


    How many days had this girl been holding on like this?


    After carefully counting the time since Jun Qianyan had been shot at and returning to the devil race, Di Mo Jiu wished that he could scold her and then tear up the people of the God race.


    Perhaps it was the effect of the pain-relieving drug, but Jun Qiyan''s expression was no longer as ferocious as it was just now. Her brows were still tightly knitted, and her lips were pale.


    In the end, Jun Qiyan had been severely injured and had passed out. The doctor did not dare to delay any longer and hurriedly fried the medicine and sent it over to Jun Qiyan while it was still warm.


    The steaming hot medicine was served on a tray in front of Di Mo Jiu. Di Mo Jiu did not immediately pick up the medicine bowl. Instead, he waved his hand, signaling the doctor to put the medicine aside to dry.


    At this moment, Di Mo Jiu was also in a dilemma.


    Even though Jun Qiyan was severely injured, and his heart was aching, Jun Qianyan was currently in a coma. Naturally, the matter of feeding the medicine fell on Di Mo Jiu''s body.


    Now that Chu Ran had returned to his side, he obviously didn''t want to have any intimate interactions with Jun Qiyan in order to not arouse her dissatisfaction. If he were to think about it just now and continue slandering Jun Qianyan in front of so many people, he wouldn''t be able to bear it.


    "Mo Jiu? Why are you here? "


    Seeing that Jun Qiyan''s room door was wide open, Chu Ran had originally wanted to settle the score with Jun Qiyan. She hadn''t thought that the first person she would see upon entering the room would be Di Mo Jiu.


    This caused Chu Ran to be surprised and angry ¡ª she never thought that Jun Qiyan''s seduction of Di Mo Jiu would reach such a degree!


    But when she got closer, she saw that Jun Qianyan was lying on the bed with a pale face, while Di Mo Jiu was frowning deeply. When she saw the shocking wound left by Jun Qiyan''s open clothes, Chu Lan couldn''t help but scream out loud.


    "Oh my god!" The Holy Maiden ¡­ How can she be so severely injured! "

 C200

    "You came at the right time."


    When Di Mo Jiu heard the noise, he turned around and saw that it was Chu Ran. He surprisingly let out a sigh of relief.


    "Mo Jiu, I just ¡­ "Well, you should reflect on it."


    Chu Ran saw through Jun Qianyan''s intentions with a single glance and felt great joy in her heart, but she didn''t dare to show it. She could only put on a look of guilt, and in order to gain Di Mo Jiu''s trust, she pretended to be guilty and said, "I was in a hurry just now, that''s why I said those words ¡­ I really didn''t mean to slander the Holy Maiden. Mo Jiu, you still believe me, right? "


    Chu Ran blinked her watery big eyes at Di Mo Jiu. Her moist eyes seemed to be able to squeeze out tears. Di Mo Jiu''s eyebrows instantly relaxed.


    "Of course."


    Di Mo Jiu stretched out his hand, gently ruffled Chu Ran''s messy hair, and said softly, "I know you have a good temper, you must have a reason for saying those words. Since you''re willing to admit your wrongs, then I don''t have anything else to worry about. "


    Chu Ran''s eyes immediately lit up, and she even cheered: "Great! Mo Jiu, thank you ¡­ "Thank you, or do you believe me? You''re willing to forgive me!"


    "Silly girl." Looking at Chu Ran''s extremely happy expression, Di Mo Jiu helplessly smiled and said softly, "Who asked you to ¡­" is the person I love the most. "


    Chu Ran pretended not to hear him and buried her head in Di Mo Jiu''s chest.


    The moment Di Mo Jiu tightly held her, Chu Ran smiled, the viciousness and pride in her eyes was also completely exposed at that moment ¡­


    Jun Qiyan, did you hear that?


    Di Mo Jiu had personally said that he was the person he loved the most!


    Jun Qianyan, just who do you think you are!


    Do you really think that after spending time alone with Di Mo Jiu, he would fall in love with her?


    How ridiculous!


    "Ugh ¡­"


    Perhaps it was due to Jun Qiyan ''sensing'' of Chu Ran''s criticism, but she suddenly groaned and interrupted the two people who were relying on her.


    "Ah ¡­" I''m really sorry, I lost my composure! "


    The atmosphere was suddenly disturbed, which made Chu Ran very unhappy. But now that she was in Jun Qiyan''s room, and she had obviously seen Jun Qianyan''s injuries when she first came in, she hurriedly pushed Di Mo Jiu away. Chu Ran intentionally put on a guilty face as she timidly said, "Come to think of it ¡­" What was going on with the Holy Maiden? "How can you be so badly hurt?"


    "The doctor said that the wound was infected."


    Di Mo Jiu also put away the love on his face. After glancing at Jun Feiyan, his brows furrowed as he said in a low voice, "And it seems to be ¡­" There''s poison on that arrow. "


    "The Holy Maiden was poisoned?"


    Chu Ran was very good at capturing important points. Once Di Mo Jiu finished speaking, she put on an exaggerated expression of surprise, "But it''s already been a few days, why is it only now that ¡­"


    "It might have existed from the very beginning, but it''s just not obvious. It just hasn''t been discovered."


    Di Mo Jiu replied in a low voice. After staring at Jun Feiyan for a while, he chose to shift his gaze away as he could not bear to look at Jun Qiyan''s shocking wound again.


    Letting a woman protect him was undoubtedly a disgrace to Di Mo Jiu, not to mention the fact that the wound was getting worse!


    Dammit, did she really think that she was that capable to block arrows for him?


    "Then... "Then what should we do now?"


    Chu Ran was overjoyed in her heart, but she still didn''t dare show it on the surface, so she could only pretend to be anxious and ask, "Then ¡­ Did the doctor come up with any antidotes? Furthermore, looking at the Holy Maiden''s expression, she must be ¡­ Is it also painful? "


    The more she saw that Jun Qiyan was in pain, the happier Chu Ran became.


    I told you, little slut, to come and snatch Di Mo Jiu from me!


    Jun Qiyan, just you wait, this is only the beginning!


    "There."


    Hearing Chu Ran''s words, Di Mo Jiu didn''t have much of an expression on his face, he only indifferently glanced at the bowl on the side and said, "I was just worrying about how to feed her."


    "Do you find it inconvenient?"


    Chu Ran was feeling incredibly proud of herself, and it just so happened that Di Mo Jiu asked her this question again. This undoubtedly gave her an excellent opportunity, so she didn''t hesitate and said, "Exactly what I said earlier was too excessive. Mo Jiu, you and the Holy Maiden should avoid suspicion now ¡­ How about you let me handle this matter? "


    Perhaps thinking that she might be overly attentive and arouse suspicion, Chu Ran added, "Besides, I''ve also reflected on it, I was indeed in the wrong with that matter ¡­ ¡­ Just hand over the matter of taking care of the Holy Maiden to me, this can also be considered as my apology to her. I believe that after she wakes up, even if she knows, she won''t blame me. We can make up!"


    Chu Ran''s words made sense, and even Di Mo Jiu was convinced of them. He also felt that giving Chu Ran the task of taking care of Jun Qiyan would help the two of them resolve the conflict, so he happily agreed and didn''t forget to praise Chu Ran, "Ran, I''m really happy that you can think like this."


    Compared to Jun Qiyan''s consideration for her, Di Mo Jiu clearly preferred Chu Ran''s'' magnanimity ''and'' disregard the former hatred ''.


    "Mo Jiu, you''re so busy right now, how can I bring you more trouble?"


    Chu Shan smiled timidly and replied with her head lowered.


    The implied meaning was that if there were to be any more troubles in the future, Jun Qiyan would be the one to give Di Mo Jiu ''face'' and Chu Ran would be the innocent person to be implicated.


    After sending Di Mo Jiu off, Chu Ran closed Jun Qianyan''s door and couldn''t help laughing out loud.


    It had been a long time since he had such a good opportunity to kill two birds with one stone.


    Jun Qiyan, ah, Jun Qiyan, your arrow hit really well!


    Chu Ran leisurely walked back to the bed, looked at Jun Qiyan''s pale white face, and couldn''t help but laugh out loud.


    Carefully taking out the bottle of medicine hidden in her sleeve, Chu Ran''s eyes flashed with a proud and vicious light ¡­


    Jun Qiyan, this arrow will not hit you for nothing!


    Chu Ran smirked as she pulled open the stopper of the bottle. She was about to pour some of the medicine into Jun Qiyan''s medicine when she hesitated.


    No...


    She had just taken over the task of taking care of Jun Qiyan. If she were to act against her so quickly, it would not be long before someone would notice it. Then she would definitely not be able to escape.


    Forget it, since Jun Qiyan had "helped" her, she should at least let her body recover for a few days.


    With this thought in mind, Chu Ran stuffed the bottle back into the mouth of the bottle, then hid the bottle in her sleeve. She picked up the medicine bowl, scooped up a spoonful of the soup and brought it to Jun Qiyan''s mouth.

 C201

    The next day, when she woke up, she saw that the person standing beside the bed was Chu Ran. She immediately frowned.


    "Why are you here?"


    Jun Qiyan asked as he lowered his head to look at the wound on his chest. It seemed as if the intense pain from before was no longer there.


    "Don''t be so nervous, I was sent by Mo Jiu to take care of you."


    Chu Ran smiled sweetly. When she saw that Jun Qiyan had woken up, she also went outside to inform the others.


    "Really?"


    Jun Qiyan obviously didn''t believe him and asked, "Then how long have I been unconscious for?"


    "Three days."


    Chu Ran turned her head and glanced at Jun Qianyan with a look of sympathy and mockery, "Do you want to know why Mo Jiu sent me to take care of you? Let me tell you, not because he''s busy, but because ¡ª he doesn''t want to. "


    The last three words, Chu Ran practically spat them out one after another in a pause. Jun Qiyan couldn''t help but widen her eyes in disbelief.


    Di Mo Jiu actually despised him?


    Where did Chu Ran get the guts to say that?


    "It''s only been three days, are you brave again?"


    Jun Qiyan stared at Chu Ran for a moment, then burst out laughing. With a cold glint in her eyes, she said, "Chu Ran, have you ever thought that since you can''t kill me, I''ll expose your identity?"


    "Oh? Then, the Holy Maiden might as well tell me, what is my identity? "


    Chu Ran pretended like she didn''t understand Jun Qianyan''s words and chuckled a few times. She said with a face full of pride, "Di Mo Jiu''s old love? Or your rival? "


    With that, Chu Ran raised her head and laughed out loud, making Jun Qiyan feel disgusted. She subconsciously waved her hand and a gust of wind appeared out of nowhere, immediately blowing Chu Ran aside and slamming her heavily into the wall.


    "Ugh!"


    Chu Ran fell to the ground after receiving a heavy blow to her back. She groaned as her resentful gaze fell upon Jun Qiyan, like a venomous snake spitting its tongue at its prey.


    "Heh, but with such a light touch, you''ve been forced to reveal your true appearance?"


    From afar, looking at Chu Ran''s vicious eyes, Jun Qiyan ridiculed her while she was still wearing her clothes, "Chu Ran, what are you pretending for me to do? Do you think I don''t know that you''re actually the third prince''s man? "


    Jun Qiyan even dared to believe that the arrow she had just shot could have been intentional by Chu Ran, but her goal might not have been Di Mo Jiu''s life. She wanted him to completely trust her ¡ª because she had seen Chu Ran try to block the arrow for Di Mo Jiu when the archer had released it.


    Unfortunately, she was still slower than him by a step.


    However, Jun Qianyan did not expect that Di Mo Jiu, who she had risked her life to save, would actually ''detest'' her now that she was seriously injured.


    Although these words came from Chu Ran''s mouth and had little credibility, Jun Qianyin still wanted to personally find Di Mo Jiu and ask him why he treated him like that.


    Why ¡­ He had given the unconscious him to the person she hated the most!


    "Heh, so what if you say?"


    Even though Jun Qianyan had pointed out her identity, Chu Shan did not panic in the slightest. Instead, she replied with full confidence, "Even if you did, do you think anyone would believe you?"


    "Di Mo Jiuxin, that''s enough."


    Jun Qiyan didn''t care about Chu Ran. She covered her still painful wounds and lifted her blanket. She walked out of the bed, shot a glance at Chu Ran, and left proudly.


    "Halt!"


    Chu Ran held onto the wall and stood up. She looked at Jun Qianyan''s leaving figure and coldly smiled, "Do you think that Mo Jiu will believe you?"


    "What do you mean?"


    Jun Qiyan stopped walking and turned around to look at Chu Shan, only to see that she had suddenly kneeled on the ground. Her vicious expression had completely disappeared, leaving behind only pain and unwillingness as she stuttered, "Don''t ¡­" "Don''t..."


    Chu Ran''s sudden change made Jun Qiyan more vigilant, but she could not guess which move Chu Ran was playing.


    "I say, you ¡­"


    "Jun Qiyan, what are you doing?"


    Before Jun Qiyan could finish his words, Di Mo Jiu''s voice suddenly came from behind him.


    "Mo Jiu?"


    When Jun Qiyan turned around and saw that it really was Di Mo Jiu, the grievances and grievances in his heart suddenly surged up, rolling in his eyes as if they were about to spill out at any moment.


    "Mo Jiu, you''re here ¡­" Jun Qi''s eyes were bloodshot as she tried her best to hold back her tears while looking at Di Mo Jiu. She pointed to Chu Ran behind her and said, "I was just about to go look for you ¨C Mo Jiu, do you know where she came from?"


    "What is her origin? It''s not important, but Ran Ran has taken great pains to take care of the unconscious you. As soon as you woke up, you attacked her ¡­ I would like to ask, what do you want to do?"


    Di Mo Jiu ignored Jun Qiyan''s words. He only saw Chu Ran lying behind Jun Qianyan, and his pupils suddenly sunk as he shouted out in a stern voice.


    Jun Qiyan was stunned.


    Di Mo Jiu ¡­ He actually scolded her because of Chu Ran?


    "Mo Jiu, I haven''t even asked you!"


    Di Mo Jiu was not talking about this, but when he mentioned it, Jun Qianyan''s anger rose again. While Di Mo Jiu was walking past her, she grabbed him and asked in a stern voice, "I''m asking you ¡ª why did you let Chu Ran take care of me again!"


    "Then what else?"


    Unexpectedly, Jun Qiyan didn''t hear any of Di Mo Jiu''s explanations. On the contrary, she heard his bold and confident admissions.


    "Or do you want me to take care of you?"


    Di Mo Jiu turned around and looked at Jun Qianyan, shaking off her hand. He let out a low laugh and said in a deep voice, "I know you blocked the arrow for me, and I''m very grateful to you too. However, that doesn''t mean that I want to take care of you and everything else is as you wish ¡­" "Holy Maiden!"


    Di Mo Jiu''s cry of "Holy Maiden" was extremely forceful. Two heavy words smashed into Jun Qiyan''s heart, breaking her last thoughts about him.


    Changed...


    Just when had she and he changed ¡­


    Little Qi, to the Holy Maiden ¡­ What had happened between them?


    "Di Mo Jiu, you''re so pained by Chu Ran ¡­" Have you forgotten that she hurt you! "


    Tears silently rolled down his face. Jun Qiyan turned around and shouted to Di Mo Jiu who was carrying Chu Ran across his waist, "Why ¡­" Even after all these years have passed, you still can''t forget about her, and you''re still biased towards her! "


    She was unwilling ¡­ He also could not believe, could not believe that every single detail that he and Di Mo Jiu had ever gotten along with could be wiped away by this Chu Ran''s amnesia medicine!


    "Of course I do." Di Mo Jiu glanced at Jun Qianyan, then looked at Chu Ran who was nestling in his embrace, and replied, "But I chose to forgive ¡­" Because she once said that it was forced by others, so she had no choice but to come up with this plan. "

 C202

    "This is crazy ¡­" Di Mo Jiu, are you crazy? "


    Jun Qiyan''s eyes widened in disbelief. She still couldn''t believe it, nor could she stack this cold man in front of her with the man she used to spend time with.


    "In my opinion, the crazy person should be you, right?"


    Di Mo Jiu turned around, coldly looked at Jun Qiyan, and said word by word, "Don''t think that you can do whatever you want just because you''re a saint. It''s just an arrow, so I''ll return it to you."


    Boom ¡ª ¡ª


    Jun Qiyan affectionately felt what it meant to be struck by lightning.


    "Still? "What do you want in return?"


    "Di Mo Jiu, I''m really blind. Why can''t I bear it? I have to suffer for your sake!"


    Tears gushed out of Jun Qiyan''s eyes, but she could no longer control them. She slid down to the ground and sat there, quietly weeping.


    After putting all of this into her eyes, Chu Ran immediately felt an unprecedented pleasure ¡ª ¡ª


    You dare to snatch a man from me?


    Jun Qiyan, look at you, you''ve lost miserably this time!


    "Mo Jiu, don''t be like this ¡­"


    Although Chu Ran was feeling proud, she didn''t show it on the surface. On the contrary, she actually started singing in a humble tone and advised, "Holy Maiden just woke up. Moreover, there''s poison on that arrow. Maybe it''s poison ¡­"


    "Ran, you''re too kind."


    Hearing Chu Ran''s words, Jun Qiyan raised her head and fiercely glared at her. But not long after that, Di Mo Jiu''s words caught up ¡­


    "Think of you. You''ve worked so hard to take care of her for three days and three nights, but she''s the one who''s venting her anger the moment she wakes up." Di Mo Jiu coldly looked at Jun Qiyan, lowered his voice and said, "Moreover, he''s disrespectful to me, so he should be locked up and sent back to reflect on himself."


    "You dare?"


    Jun Qiyan couldn''t believe it. Three days ago, before she had fainted, Di Mo Jiu had confined Chu Ran in front of so many people. But now ¡­


    The heavens were truly blessed with reincarnation, who would the heavens avoid!


    Seeing that the soldiers were about to come and take her back, Jun Qianyan glared at Chu Ran and coldly snorted, "Chu Ran, I really want to know what kind of medicine you''ve drugged Di Mo Jiu with in these three days!"


    "Holy Maiden, I can understand how you are feeling right now."


    Chu Ran smiled, but her face was filled with innocence. On the contrary, she helped Jun Qiyan up, "Holy Maiden, you don''t have to be angry, after all, wasn''t I the same way three days ago? If a person got anxious, it would be easy to say the wrong things and cause Mo Jiu to become unhappy ¡­ "However, the Holy Maiden is at ease. The Holy Maiden is someone that Mo Jiu has always loved. If the Holy Maiden could also calm down and reflect on her actions, I believe that Mo Jiu will still forgive you."


    Chu Ran kept talking, as if she was trying to persuade Jun Qiyan using her identity as "someone who had gone through a lot", but every word in her words was undoubtedly stabbing into Jun Qiyan''s heart ruthlessly.


    Sure enough, men were all big pigs. Once they became hostile, they would no longer be considered as family.


    And now, Di Mo Jiu was a good example.


    "Why aren''t you bringing him away?"


    Seeing the person in his arms still being tortured by Jun Qianyan''s gaze, Di Mo Jiu could not bear to see this. His face darkened as he yelled again.


    The soldiers didn''t dare delay any longer. Two of them grabbed Jun Qiyan''s arm, and forcefully brought her back into the room regardless of her wounds.


    "Pa ~ ~ ~"


    The porcelain fell onto the marble tiles with a crisp sound. In the eerily quiet corridor, it was exceptionally ear-piercing and eye-catching.


    Di Mo Jiu, Chu Ran and the rest all looked towards the source of the sound. They saw a porcelain vase falling to the ground, and from the looks of it, it was obviously from Jun Qiyan''s body.


    "What''s that?"


    Di Mo Jiu frowned, immediately feeling that things were not simple.


    The two guards looked at each other, then one of them picked it up and gave it to Di Mo Jiu.


    "This is ¡­"


    Di Mo Jiu carefully observed the patterns and forging materials of the porcelain bottle in his hand, his brows were tightly knitted, his expression was extremely solemn.


    Chu Ran''s eyes flashed with the pleasure of success, but in order to cover it up, she also moved closer to the porcelain bottle, pretending that she didn''t know anything. She curiously asked: "It''s just a bottle, what''s so strange about it?"


    "Where did this come from?"


    Hearing Chu Ran''s words, Di Mo Jiu''s expression became even more unsightly. He glared at Jun Qianyan, his tone becoming even more enraged, "I''m asking you ¨C where did this bottle come from!"


    "I don''t know."


    Jun Qiyan was also shocked by the sudden appearance of this porcelain bottle. However, when she heard Di Mo Jiu''s question, she answered honestly, "This is not mine ¨C I don''t have this kind of medicine bottle!"


    "You even know that this is a medicinal bottle!"


    Hearing Jun Qiyan''s reply, Di Mo Jiu smiled, his smile was sinister and cold, but even more, it was ruthless. "Don''t challenge my patience ¨C I''ll ask you one last time, where did you get this from?"


    "I already said I don''t know!"


    Jun Qiyan was a bit annoyed. She didn''t know why, but Di Mo Jiu would grab a bottle of medicine and keep asking, "I''ve never seen it before!"


    "This fell from your body. You said you haven''t seen it before?"


    Di Mo Jiu put down Chu Ran, glared at Jun Qianyan, and slowly walked towards her. His voice was low and deep, filled with uncontrollable anger, "Jun Qianyan, do you think I''m an idiot? You think that I won''t be able to recognize you ¡­ This was something only the god race had? And it was from the god race ¡­ Third Prince! "


    The last three words were squeezed out from the gaps between Di Mo Jiu''s teeth. The words were extremely stiff, and the strong anger and hatred contained within couldn''t be hidden.


    The things of the God race''s third prince actually fell out from the devil saint''s body?


    The two soldiers looked at each other, then looked at Di Mo Jiu with astonishment. They seemed to be asking the same question, and were waiting for Di Mo Jiu to answer them.


    Chu Shan did not miss this chance and pretended to be surprised as she shouted, "God Clan''s Third Prince? That is our mortal enemy! How could the Holy Maiden have anything to do with him? "


    As soon as the word "department" was spat out, Di Mo Jiu, who had an extremely gloomy look on his face, could no longer hold it in any longer. He fiercely smashed the porcelain bottle in his hand against Jun Qiyan''s wound, and immediately issued a stern order after hearing Jun Yunxiao''s painful cry.


    "Pass on my words, from this moment onwards, Jun Feiyan''s identity as the holy maiden of the devil race will be taken away! Furthermore, we must inform all of the devils that Jun Qiyan is secretly colluding with the third prince of the god race and that he is a traitor of our own devils! Immediately lock him up and send him to the volcano at daybreak, as a living sacrifice to the volcano! "

 C203

    Hundreds of people gathered at the top of the windy mountain. All of them held tassel spears in their hands as they stared at Jun Qiyan who was tied to a rack in the shape of a "X".


    Jun Qiyan''s head was lowered, her long hair was messed up by the wind, and her blood-red dress was reflected in the lava behind her. Her long black cloak was blown up by the wind, and she looked like a devil as she bared her fangs and brandished her claws, clamoring for revenge against the people surrounding the wooden shelves.


    Why...


    Why did it become like this?


    Jun Qiyan slowly opened her eyes and felt the heat coming from the volcano cave behind her. The heat made her somewhat sober up, and she slowly lifted her head.


    "She''s awake, she''s awake!"


    Jun Qiyan''s small action caused a sensation among the crowd. The people holding the spear all took two steps back, as if they were examining a murderous devil. They stared at him with vigilance and hatred, while the tip of the spear was pointed at him.


    How could this be?


    She was originally a respected Holy Maiden of the demon race, but why ¡­ Would he become the "traitor" they hated so much?


    Why did it become like this?


    "Kill her, kill her!"


    Seeing Jun Qiyan raise his head and look directly at them, without taking any action or saying anything, everyone''s courage also increased. Raising the tasseled spear in their hands high up, they began to shout in succession ¡ª ¡ª


    "Kill her! Avenge our fellow countrymen! "


    "Destroy the traitor! Annihilate the traitor! "


    "Using poison to fight poison! Let the traitor appease the fury of the volcano! "


    Jun Qiyan raised her head and looked at the blue sky. She couldn''t help but think back to the Holy Maiden who was respected a few days ago ¡­


    The past came back to her as if it had happened yesterday, but in the blink of an eye, she was tied to a wooden shelf and brought to the lava pit at the top of the volcano to await execution.


    It was said that using the blood of demons as a sacrifice to the volcano would calm the volcano down and prevent it from erupting for a short period of time.


    And she, the traitor of the demon race ¡ª was the living offering that was being sacrificed today!


    The ones who agreed to this request were the group of people right under their noses. However, the one who executed this ceremony and proposed this execution was none other than Di Mo Jiu!


    A familiar black figure appeared at the back of the crowd. It was only a small figure, but it was like a thorn that pierced Jun Qiyan''s heart, causing her pain and helplessness.


    "You''re finally here."


    Seeing the man approaching, Jun Qiyan smiled, but his smile was pale and powerless, and his tone was laced with sarcasm. "Di Mo Jiu."


    "It is my shame to hear my name from your mouth."


    Di Mo Jiu stood under the wooden shelf, quietly staring at Jun Qianyan, as if he was an expressionless wooden person. Even his tone of voice was very ordinary.


    "Is that so?" Jun Qiyan laughed. "I don''t know who it was in the past, and they even got along with me from morning to night ¡­ Why didn''t you say it was a humiliation? "


    "That was back then, when you bewitched me."


    Di Mo Jiu''s pupils contracted, his voice sounded as cold as frost, "Now that I''m awake, I won''t tolerate you anymore."


    "Are you unable to accept me, or is your old love unable to accept me?"


    Jun Qianyan didn''t listen to Di Mo Jiu''s nonsense, laughed twice, and replied, "You''ve put in a lot of effort to get rid of me ¡­" "It''s been hard on you!"


    "Master, be careful!"


    When the people saw that Di Mo Jiu and Jun Qiyan were so close to each other, they thought that Jun Qianyan was going to kill Di Mo Jiu first, so they quickly rushed up to Di Mo Jiu and wanted to pull him back.


    "Don''t worry."


    Di Mo Jiu also understood their intentions, he raised his right hand and looked straight at Jun Qianyan, his lips curved into a sneer, "The medicinal effects have not passed yet, she is now no different from a mortal, unable to do anything."


    Yes ¡­


    It was this man in front of him ¡­


    After capturing her, he would use medicine to cripple her cultivation. He would make her be no different from an ordinary person and let them treat her as a living sacrifice!


    Jun Qiyan almost couldn''t remember how many times she died, but she remembered that Di Mo Jiu and Chu Ran were her enemies from now on!


    "Di Mo Jiu, what happened before was all your act, right?"


    Jun Qiyan tightly stared at Di Mo Jiu, his voice somewhat downcast.


    "If that''s not the case, how would I know your true identity?"


    Chu Ran also leisurely walked over. She stood beside Di Mo Jiu and smiled brilliantly as she looked at Jun Feiyan, "Speaking of which, it seems that I have wronged Mo Jiu. I was almost tricked by you to the point of being moved by emotions ¡­ Aren''t you right, Mo Jiu? "


    As Chu Ran spoke, she extended her snake-like arms towards Di Mo Jiu, coiling them around his shoulders and neck. Immediately after, she leaned against him, leaning into his ear, softly exhaling as she charmingly said, "Mo Jiu, it''s almost time, stop hesitating, hurry up and make your move."


    Jun Qiyan''s pupils constricted. She really wanted to break free from the rope and rush over to beat Chu Shan up, but every time she cast a spell, it was as if thousands of ants were gnawing on her body. The pain was unbearable.


    Chu Ran was the real traitor!


    Why did I have to take the blame for her!?


    "Mo Jiu, I know you miss your old relationship, but look at her ¡ª"


    Chu Ran noticed Jun Qianyan''s movements. She stood up straight, held Di Mo Jiu''s arm, and said in a low voice, "Mo Jiu, this is the only thing that can''t be merciful."


    "Then you''d better pray that I die, or else I will make you experience what I have experienced!"


    Seeing the reluctance in Di Mo''s eyes slowly disappear and eventually be replaced by indifference, Jun Qianyan almost collapsed. She endured the pain and screamed out hoarsely, "Di Mo Jiu ¡ª I will remember you for the rest of your life! I wish you... A knife stabbed by your beloved little girlfriend! "


    "Shut up!"


    Jun Qiyan''s words infuriated Di Mo Jiu. He stretched out his hand and one by one, the ropes tied around his body broke. However, before she could fall to the ground, her neck had already fallen into his hands.


    "Master is mighty!" Master is mighty! "


    When the people saw this, they all cheered, "Kill her! Kill her! "


    Jun Yunrue gritted her teeth as she struggled to open her eyes. She looked at Di Mo Jiu who was just inches away from her, but had already become her enemy. She then laughed coldly.


    "Don''t worry, I won''t kill you."


    The anger in Di Mo''s eyes faded, leaving only a calm feeling behind. "A sacrifice needs a living sacrifice."


    Jun Qiyan smiled. She thought that he would be reluctant to part with her, but it turned out that ¡­


    Di Mo Jiu held Jun Qiyan''s neck tightly, like he was holding a hen''s neck, as he walked step by step towards the edge of the lava cave.


    Following that, just like the discarded garbage, Jun Qianyan was thrown into the magma hole. Outside of the magma hole, people were cheering and cheering, as well as beauties with beauties beaming like flowers.

 C204

    Jun Qiyan closed her eyes and listened to the clamor of the wind mixed with the sound of boiling lava. She felt the surrounding temperature rapidly rise, even more intense than when she was placed on the grill and burned.


    What was going on?


    It was only a moment of burning, but it felt like she was on flat ground, without any other feelings to touch her. This feeling of being unreal made Jun Qiyan think that she was dead for a moment, but when she opened her eyes, she didn''t know when, but a ball of light had appeared around her body.


    "This is ¡­" "What?"


    Jun Qiyan looked at the protective ball in astonishment. She was astonished, but that was not what surprised her the most ¡ª


    The ball of light was still unable to withstand the high temperature and gradually disappeared from the top. However, when he looked down, the lava underneath was like a piece of cheese that had been split in half by a knife.


    By the time the ball of light had completely disappeared, the lava had also "cleared" a path for Jun Feiyan. Afterwards, her body gently landed on the ground like a feather, standing firmly.


    What was going on?


    Jun Qiyan raised her head and looked at the floating lava. She still couldn''t believe what had just happened. She pinched her arm again and felt a sharp pain. Only then did she believe that she was still alive.


    But just now ¡­


    Jun Qiyan couldn''t figure out what was going on, so he tried to activate the magic again. A few minutes ago, he had been bitten by ten thousand ants, but the pain was gone. Clearly, he had recovered.


    Could it be that the high temperature of the lava had caused the effects of the medicine to fail?


    Then it would instinctively produce a shield?


    But what was the matter with the magma making way for him?


    All sorts of questions came up, causing Jun Qiyan''s brows to furrow again and again, but he was still unable to come up with an answer.


    He turned around and looked at the bottom of the volcano. It was pitch black, and only the lava floating above his head had a bit of light.


    Jun Qiyan snapped his fingers, and a dozen clusters of white flames suddenly appeared out of nowhere, floating beside him. Very quickly, they illuminated the entire bottom of the volcano.


    Jun Qiyan looked around and discovered two sculptures behind him. Between the two sculptures, there was something that looked like a door.


    Thinking back to his previous experience, Jun Qianyan didn''t need to hesitate to determine that there was some kind of hidden chamber at the bottom of the volcano. Looking at the floating lava above her head, she didn''t have to worry about her safety.


    Without waiting for Jun Qiyan to find the key to the door, the stone door slowly opened by itself as if it were a sensing door. It was as if the door had been waiting for Jun Qiyan for a long time.


    As the stone door slowly opened, Jun Qiyan saw a hidden passageway. When the stone door completely opened, the torches on the walls of the hidden passageway also lit up one by one, as if they were guiding Jun Qiyan inside.


    This is a bit too... Is it going well?


    Jun Qiyan was a bit worried, but when she raised her head and saw the floating lava slowly sinking, she didn''t dare to hesitate any longer. She waved her hand to extinguish the flames, lifted up her long skirt, and rushed into the cave.


    The stone door slowly closed. Through the crack in the door, Jun Qiyan could still see the lava slowly sinking down until it reached the ground. Everything returned to its original state.


    The torchlight illuminated the entire tunnel, leading Jun Qiyan forward step by step.


    The interior of the stone door was like an ordinary cave at the bottom of the mountain. Vines could be seen on the walls, and it was not possible for them to disturb the few bats sleeping on the top of the stone door. However, all of their paths led to the end of the tunnel.


    There seemed to be light ahead.


    Jun Qiyan withdrew her hand from the wall and walked forward with a frown on her face. As she moved forward cautiously, she saw that the light was becoming brighter and brighter.


    Could it be that an escape route to the outside world was hidden underneath this volcano?


    As the light gradually became blinding, Jun Qiyan had the thought of dispelling the hidden treasure at the bottom of the volcano. Now, she felt that it was more like an escape route.


    She didn''t know when the torch behind her had been extinguished, but when she turned around, it was already pitch black. Only the light in front of her was attracting her to continue moving forward.


    Jun Qiyan gradually made it to an open space, only to discover that the light did not come from the end of the tunnel, but from the entrance of a secret room.


    It was similar to a volcano, except that this place did not have boiling lava.


    Jun Qiyan raised her head to look at the entrance of the cave, then she looked around. She didn''t see any sarcophagus, but instead discovered another secret passage.


    The cave had a hole, and the path had a path. Such a similar structure made Jun Qiyan certain that there was something hidden here.


    With a leap, she landed on the platform in front of the secret passage. Jun Qiyan didn''t even need to walk further inside to see what was going on in the secret passage. There was a large wooden chest half open and several books lying open on the ground.


    Jun Qiyan walked in and squatted down to take a look. It was all an ancient book. When he picked it up and took a closer look, he could see that there was a lot of dust on it.


    Pata.


    Jun Qiyan had only turned two pages when he heard something fall out. He looked down to see that it was actually a blueprint.


    The map clearly indicated the location of this secret passage. However, from the description above, Jun Qiyan realized that the cave entrance that she had just seen was a barrier. It was impossible for humans to leave through this barrier, since they could only pass through creatures the size of bats!


    If one looked carefully at this blueprint, although there wasn''t any indication as to how to find the exit, Jun Qiyan could see that the bottom of this volcano was actually a honeycomb shaped layout. Each of the secret passages and secret chambers were inlaid with each other like hexagons.


    He had originally thought that falling into the magma would result in death from the high temperature, but upon entering the tunnel, he realized that he couldn''t even find a way out in such a complicated place.


    "Damn it!"


    Jun Qiyan tightly gripped the blueprint, and looked at the surroundings with a frown.


    Now that he had escaped the death of the lava, he had to think of a way to get out of this "beehive."


    Since Di Mo Jiu and Chu Ran didn''t use the volcano''s lava to kill him, he wouldn''t starve to death here ¡­


    That''s right, she was going to settle the score with them ¡­


    She must get out alive and settle with them!

 C205

    Jun Qiyan looked at the blueprint in his hand, and a cold smile appeared on his face.


    Chu Shan ¡­


    Just thinking of this name caused Jun Qiyan to clench her teeth in hatred. She had better pray that she died here. Otherwise, she would never let them off!


    Thinking of this, Jun Qiyan took a deep breath, and began to carefully study the blueprint in her hand.


    The blueprint was marked with countless passages.


    A triangular symbol had been drawn in the center.


    Jun Qiyan narrowed her eyes and continued to survey her surroundings. Under the illumination of the light, the dark red stone seemed exceptionally strange.


    Jun Qiyan was not in the mood to think about this at the moment.


    She followed the blueprint and walked forward step by step.


    After going through countless forks in the road, Jun Qiyan finally arrived at the center of the map.


    Jun Qiyan looked at the huge stone door before him and slowly stopped in his tracks.


    The huge stone door was carved with this vicious beast. The way it bared its fangs and brandished its claws made people feel a bit uncomfortable.


    Jun Qiyan couldn''t help but look up at the carved patterns on the wall. The peculiar texture of it caused Jun Qiyan to shudder.


    "Who is it?"


    An aged voice seemed to have been transmitted from the depths of time, causing Jun Qiyan to involuntarily shudder.


    Jun Qiyan pursed her lips and then continued, "Junior had no intention of coming here and disturbing Senior''s rest."


    The voice paused for an unknown period of time, just as Jun Qiyan was about to leave, it sounded again.


    "Humph!" "You''re quite courteous."


    The old man snorted with disdain.


    Jun Qiyan frowned and did not speak.


    "Everyone who comes here has their own purpose ¡­ "Rights, money, desires..."


    The old man''s hoarse voice echoed in the vast earth, and waves of echoes resounded in Jun Qianyan''s ears.


    Jun Qiyan suddenly had a bad premonition.


    "If you want what you want, you must pass my exam, little fellow ¡­" "Let me see your skills ¡­"


    His hoarse voice gradually faded, and before Jun Qiyan could react, he had already fallen into the darkness.


    When he woke up again, the scene before him was no longer the same as the previous cave.


    The lava churned beneath her feet.


    As for Jun Qiyan, she was floating in the air with her hair fluttering in the wind. The wind was blowing fiercely around her, but she didn''t feel the slightest bit of cold.


    The small stones flew in the wind, brushing across Jun Qiyan''s face without causing her any discomfort.


    However, Jun Qiyan''s eyebrows did not even furrow. At this moment, all of her attention was below her feet.


    As the lava surged, a huge monster appeared in front of Jun Qiyan.


    Jun Qiyan''s pupils constricted.


    His face was pale and filled with disbelief.


    The monster was at least six feet long. Its pitch-black fur seemed to have been stained with something. Its greasy fur made it look extremely disgusting.


    Its huge head had six snake eyes, and its scarlet tongue was exposed to the air.


    Jun Qiyan clenched both his hands into fists; this was a one-sided massacre!


    If she really fought this monster, she wouldn''t even have the chance to resist.


    Was he really going to die here?


    Jun Qiyan''s face was as white as a sheet. She took a deep breath and assumed a fighting posture. However, the intended war had yet to begin.


    The monster acted as if it hadn''t seen Jun Qianyan at all, and didn''t make the slightest move. Jun Qiyan frowned. Based on the current situation, this so-called ''test'' probably didn''t refer to her defeating the monster.


    Thinking up to this point, Jun Qiyan couldn''t help but let out a sigh of relief.


    However, before she could finish her sentence, the huge monster had already attacked Jun Qi at a speed invisible to the naked eye.


    The expected pain did not come. The monster passed through Jun Qiyan and attacked her from behind.


    Boom!


    A loud explosion rang out, causing Jun Qiyan to shudder. She stiffly turned around to see a man wearing a purple robe entangled with the monster.


    Jun Qiyan froze for a moment. That person was really Di Mo Jiu, who had been gnashing his teeth in hatred for the past few days.


    Damn it!


    Why can I see that man here?!


    Jun Qiyan silently gritted her teeth. She knew that everything that had happened here wasn''t real, so she held the mindset of watching a good show. She looked at the man and the beast that were entangled together.


    Di Mo Jiu and that monster''s movements were enough to dazzle Jun Qiyan''s eyes.


    In that instant, the palms of Di Mo Jiu transformed into a gust of wind, shooting towards that beast.


    The huge palm swept up countless stones, forming a huge whirlpool.


    Although the monster was terrifyingly big, its speed wasn''t inferior in the slightest.


    Just at that moment, the monster flashed and appeared behind Di Mo Jiu.


    It was unknown whether it was because Jun Qiyan was seeing things, but he actually saw a smug smile on the monster''s face.


    This realization made Jun Qiyan''s back break out in a cold sweat. It must have been her misconception ¡­


    Di Mo Jiu was obviously not an easy opponent to deal with either. When he sensed the movements of the monster, he had already flashed away, only leaving behind an afterimage.


    The monster was enraged that the attack did not hit.


    Di Mo Jiu took out a long sword from his storage ring as he planned to end the battle quickly. The blade of the sword was pointed towards the sky, emitting a cold glow. The strange light was especially obvious in the slightly dark land.


    The monster was not afraid at all. It continued to rush in the direction of Di Mo Jiu, and the two figures clashed again.


    The cold sword light, the dark red flames, and the loud sounds of explosions all stimulated Jun Qiyan''s nerves.


    The air around them seemed to have changed, as space and time were torn apart by their battle. Jun Qiyan''s nerves began to tighten.


    ''Bang! ''a loud sound was heard.


    When Jun Qiyan looked at Di Mo Jiu once again, a huge bloody hole had already appeared in Di Mo Jiu''s stomach.


    She only felt her breath catch in her throat as her face suddenly turned pale. Even if this wasn''t the first time, she knew that she wouldn''t be able to do anything. However, Jun Qianyan continued to rush towards Di Mo Jiu without any control over her body.


    This had even become instinctive.


    Jun Qiyan''s eyes turned white, and then he lost consciousness.


    Before she fainted, she seemed to hear a faint sigh.


    When she woke up again, Jun Qiyan only felt her entire body ache. She narrowed her eyes, feeling somewhat unaccustomed to the light coming from all four directions.


    "You''re awake?"


    Jun Qiyan rubbed her eyes, and was able to clearly see the old man''s face. The old man looked like he was nearing the end of his years, and was so skinny that a gust of wind could blow him away.


    Jun Qianyan was stunned for a moment, then continued, "Who are you? "Where am I?"


    His hoarse voice surprised even Jun Qiyan.


    The old man sat cross-legged on the ground, raising his eyes to look at Jun Feiyan.


    Then he continued, "Little girl, you must be someone that barged in from outside the secret realm, right?"


    After the old man finished speaking, Jun Qiyan''s face paled, and she couldn''t help but become vigilant.


    Seeing Jun Qianyan''s guarded posture, the old man chuckled softly, as if he was trying to comfort him, and said: "Don''t worry, I''m a dying man, I can''t touch you."


    The old man seemed to be comforting him, but the old man''s words didn''t make Li Yao lose his vigilance.


    She maintained her vigilance and continued to ask, "What do you mean? "Where is this place?"


    The old man was silent for a moment before continuing, "This place isn''t important, but there''s definitely something you want here ¡­"


    As he finished speaking, a beam of golden light shot out, and a white glass bottle appeared before Jun Qiyan''s eyes.


    Jun Qianyan subconsciously picked up the glass bottle as a profound light flashed in her eyes. Before she could think further, she heard the old man beside her suddenly speak up. "Be careful, there''s a way for you to leave the secret realm."


    This unremarkable glass bottle actually hid the method to leave the secret realm?


    Jun Qiyan''s heart tightened as he looked at the old man beside him in surprise.


    "You mean there''s a way to get out of this place?"


    Jun Qiyan was so shocked that he couldn''t help but repeat his words.


    The old man nodded. His expression was dark and gloomy, but when he saw the pleased expression on Jun Yunrue''s face, he couldn''t help but pour cold water on her. "Don''t celebrate too early. Open it and take a look."


    Jun Qiyan frowned, thinking that the old man''s words were a bit strange. But it didn''t matter, since he had found a way to leave, there was still hope. He didn''t need to stay in this damned place for a while, and he still had to face unknown dangers.


    "Something''s wrong ¡­"


    Jun Qiyan held the glass bottle and was about to open it, when she suddenly discovered that the old man was standing quietly beside her, talking. He didn''t seem to have any intention of moving, and couldn''t help but feel a little strange. Will you still be here? "


    According to what the old man said, he knew that this glass bottle contained good things, so why didn''t he open the bottle himself, get the method to escape, and then escape by himself?


    Why did he have to wait until he came here, and even use all sorts of hints to indicate that he should open this glass bottle?


    Could it be that there was something wrong with the glass bottle?


    "What? Are you suspecting me?"


    Seeing Jun Qianyan''s untrusting appearance, the old man''s face was filled with astonishment, but his eyes were also filled with astonishment, "You think that I would harm you?"


    "That''s not true ¡­"


    Jun Qiyan frowned as he suddenly regretted his actions. He regretted that he had asked such a doubtful question in front of the old man.


    "Then why haven''t you opened this glass bottle yet?"


    Seeing that Jun Qiyan was still hesitant to leave, the old man''s gaze turned a bit more serious. There was a hint of ridicule in his tone. "What? You don''t want to leave this secret realm, do you?"


    "This kind of place, even if you give me 1,000,000 gold, I''m not willing to stay for even a second longer!"


    Jun Qiyan gritted her teeth as she indignantly replied. The old man was so agitated that she had suddenly forgotten her doubts. She tightly gripped the glass bottle, wanting to open it.


    Seeing this scene, the old man''s mockery gradually turned into a smile. He stared at Jun Qiyan without moving, and the scrutiny in his eyes grew even more intense.


    "Pa ~ ~ ~"


    Following a crisp sound, the glass bottle was opened by Jun Qiyan.


    However, she found it strange that nothing unusual had happened. She then turned the glass bottle upside down to take a closer look, but still didn''t find anything amiss with Jun Qiyan.


    It was like an ordinary glass bottle, nothing special at all.


    "Old man, you''re not joking with me, are you?"


    He looked left and right, carefully observing his surroundings. Even then, he still didn''t see any special changes. The first thing that came to mind was that he wasn''t tricked by the old man and was instead tricked by him!


    "Old man, I''m afraid you''re not old and have a bad memory. Are you confused?"


    After carefully examining the bottle for a long time, Jun Qianyan put it down and shifted her attention to the old man. She looked at him with a smile that was not a smile and said, "What happened to the method of escaping the secret realm? Why is it empty here, why is there nothing here! "


    "Really?"


    The old man stopped smiling and looked at Jun Qianyan in surprise. He even took the glass bottle from her hands and began to examine it. He muttered to himself, "That shouldn''t be the case ¡­"


    "What shouldn''t be? Are you joking with me?"


    Jun Qiyan''s patience had nearly worn out. He simply threw away the glass bottle and the old man, turned around angrily, and left in a depressed state.


    After a while, the old man also put down the glass bottle in his hand. A trace of a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his half-closed eyes glinted with a bright light.


    Yes, this kid can be taught!


    Jun Qiyan was still lost in thought with her back facing the elder when she suddenly realized that the sky above her had changed. She looked up and saw a black mass of something that looked like a black hole, and something that looked like it was flying out of it.


    "Be careful!"


    Jun Qiyan didn''t have enough time to look at the details. She only saw a black mass being discharged from the black hole. Subconsciously, she turned around and pounced on the old man.


    "This... "What is this?"


    Under the protection of the protective shield, Jun Qiyan looked up to see a group of bats flying out of the black hole in an orderly manner. Their mouths were wide open, and they were gnawing on the protective shield with their sharp fangs.


    Jun Qiyan waved his right hand and immediately removed the protective barrier. However, the next second a snowstorm began to blow, and the bats were frozen into snowballs, falling to the ground.


    But those bats continued to fly out of the black hole without end. As they flew through the air, they even transformed into a species ¡­ from within the black hole, it was no longer bats, but demons!


    "Holy sh * t!"


    When Jun Qiyan saw this, he couldn''t help but curse in a low voice.


    Although she could deal with these things easily with her current abilities, she was still considered outnumbered. Jun Qiyan was only one person after all, and the things that came out of the black hole came in groups after groups. This would take a long time!


    If he wanted to completely stop these things from bothering him again, Jun Qianyan quickly looked around to see if there was anything she could use to block the black hole and prevent it from releasing any more things to harm people.


    However, the secret realm was a desolate place. Other than the old man and Jun Qianyan, no one else was there. They observed their surroundings and found nothing else in the secret realm except for the glass bottle.


    What a desolate wasteland!


    Jun Qiyan cursed in her heart as she looked at the glass bottle. Suddenly, an idea occurred to her.


    Why couldn''t he enlarge the glass bottle and have the bottle block the black hole''s exit, so that even if something came out, it could only be trapped inside the glass bottle?


    Jun Qiyan''s train of thoughts was immediately roused. Without a second thought, he immediately sucked the glass bottle from the old man''s hand, and then forcefully threw it into the air. As the bottle spun in midair, he activated his magic to make it bigger.


    He watched as the glass bottle grew larger bit by bit and approached the black hole. In the end, the mouth of the bottle ''contained'' the black hole, and although the black hole continued to fly out, it was just as Jun Qiyan had expected. It was trapped inside the glass bottle and could not be reassembled to harm the two of them.


    "Good, good!"


    The old man was shocked not only by Jun Qianyan''s ability but also by her thoughts. After witnessing the entire process, the old man couldn''t help but clap and cheer, and he sighed, "There are a lot of people trapped in this secret realm, and there are also a lot of people with high cultivation as well ¡­ But to be able to do this, not only relying on spells, but also thinking about something else, is not possible! "


    "What do you mean?"


    Jun Qianyan could not help but turn around and look at the old man, and he asked, "So ¡­ How exactly do I leave this secret realm? "


    "Sure, sure!"


    The elder seemed to be very satisfied with Jun Qianyan''s actions. After he laughed twice, he said with a look of appreciation, "Actually, the key to leaving this secret realm is still this old man!"


    "It''s up to you?"


    This time, it was Jun Qiyan''s turn to be surprised ¨C wasn''t the agreed way to leave the secret realm inside this glass bottle? How did it suddenly become this old man''s body in the blink of an eye?


    "Old man, don''t joke."


    After being coaxed again and again, Jun Qianyan couldn''t believe what the old man was saying. She had the feeling that he was fooling her again, so she pursed her lips and asked, "Just what method do I need to use to leave this secret realm?"


    "Come, come, come. I''ll listen to you right now ¡ª"


    The elder was still laughing and taking advantage of Jun Qiyan''s unguarded state, he suddenly grabbed her arm and swung out his other hand, which slammed heavily into Jun Qianyan''s heart!


    This attack caught Jun Qiyan off guard, but what surprised her was that when the elder''s palm struck her body, she actually didn''t feel the slightest bit of pain. On the contrary, she only felt a warm current continuously flowing into her body ¡­

 C206

    When Jun Qiyan woke up, she found herself in another world.


    Before Jun Qiyan could get up, he discovered that the elder and the glass bottle were no longer by his side. When he thought of the elder''s palm, Jun Qianyan''s heart skipped a beat, but she quickly regained her composure.


    It was only after he tried activating the magic technique that Jun Qianyan realized that there were some fragments in his memories that didn''t belong to him. In addition to the increase of his cultivation base, only then did Jun Qianyan realize that the elder had passed on half of his cultivation base and legacy to her!


    That black hole, that glass bottle, was clearly just a pretense. That was just a test from the old man!


    Jun Qiyan was still summing up his shock when suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew past his ears.


    Jun Qianyan was stunned for a moment. Her bright eyes quickly took in the surrounding scene, but immediately became flabbergasted. She was currently in ruins, and although it wasn''t to the point of being littered with corpses, but from the looks of her surroundings, it wasn''t hard for her to see that this had once been a battlefield.


    "How could this be ¡­"


    Jun Qianyan''s eyes widened in disbelief, his brows tightly knitted as he muttered to himself in a low voice.


    Without delay, Jun Qiyan rose to his feet and hurried towards the black smoke.


    She knew that where there was smoke, it was usually in the village, and most of the people in the village were there.


    As he groped his way through, he almost knocked on the door of every house in the village. Only then did Jun Qiyan collect all the scattered information.


    First, the demons and the god race had already started their war.


    The 2nd Emperor Mo Jiu was heavily injured in this battle!


    Jun Qiyan''s expression suddenly changed as he immediately cast his magic to search for Di Mo Jiu.


    According to the descriptions given by the villagers, this fierce battle lasted for seven days, ending in the defeat of the devil race yesterday ¡ª thus, Di Mo Jiu was still in the vicinity!


    "Wait for me... "Wait for me!"


    Jun Qiyan was panicking a little. In front of such a life and death situation, she had completely forgotten about her grudge with Di Mo Jiu. Now, she only wanted to hurry over to Di Mo Jiu''s side.


    The powerful aura was still present. When Jun Qiyan was getting close to Di Mo Jiu, she could clearly feel the aura belonging to Di Mo Jiu. Moreover, as she got closer, the aura of slaughter around his body also gradually intensified.


    Her figure was slowly approaching his side.


    The waves of killing intent did not cause Jun Qiyan to stop but instead made her walk faster.


    "It''s me!"


    Jun Qiyan was aware that Di Mo Jiu was always on the alert and dangerous side when he was injured, so in order to prevent Di Mo Jiu from injuring herself in self-defense, she took the initiative and spoke first, "It''s me! Ninth Master, it''s me ¡­ I''m back! "


    The moment he finished speaking, Jun Qiyan clearly felt that the surrounding atmosphere had changed. Especially when she had pounced at his side, the feeling of the glacier collapsing had become even clearer.


    A pair of clear eyes flashed with light. Although the hostility had been retracted, the King''s Aura exclusive to Di Mo Jiu still remained.


    But soon, the atmosphere changed again.


    Di Mo Jiu looked at Jun Feiyan, who was still on guard, and the cold air around him became even colder.


    "What are you doing here?"


    Di Mo Jiu''s tone was extremely cold, his eyes were distant while his vigilance could be seen in them.


    "Of course I''m here to save you!"


    Seeing Di Mo Jiu lying on the ground, dying, but not forgetting to be on guard against him, Jun Qianyan was so angry that her eyes moistened. She looked at him again, his body was covered in wounds, and apart from saying a few simple words, he couldn''t move a muscle.


    Tears slid silently down his face.


    "Save me?"


    Di Mo Jiu''s gaze towards Jun Qianyan was still a little cold, but there was already some surprise in it, "Why, shouldn''t you ¡­ "You should hate me?"


    "Hate a hammer!" You''re about to die, who else can I hate! "


    Jun Qiyan ruthlessly wiped away the tears on his face and rudely roared at him, "Di Mo Jiu you bastard! "Why didn''t you tell me ¡ª why didn''t you tell me so much!"


    Jun Qianyan was still sobbing. Di Mo Jiu had been watching from the sidelines the whole time, and had not spoken a single word.


    Very quickly, Jun Qiyan felt the temperature around her plummet, and a cold wind blew. She raised her head, and just happened to say "Don''t talk" to God Mo Jiu with her lips.


    Jun Qiyan didn''t quite understand, but when she turned around, she saw a woman and a man walking towards them on the wind.


    Jun Qiyan''s pupils immediately constricted ¨C the people walking towards them were none other than Chu Ran and the third prince!


    Just as Jun Qiyan was about to stand up and rush over, she was stopped by Di Mo Jiu''s "Shhh!". She looked down at herself and realized that she had been cast by Di Mo Jiu without her knowing. She had become transparent.


    "Is he going to die just like that? "How boring."


    Chu Ran walked to the side of Dao Emperor Mo Jiu, looked at him, then shrugged with a hint of regret. Her eyes flashed as she turned to Third Prince, pointed at him and asked, "Your Highness, then according to your intentions, how should we deal with him?"


    The Third Prince glanced at Di Mo Jiu and coldly snorted, "Do as you wish."


    Hearing the Third Prince''s words, Jun Qiyan felt like his lungs were about to explode from anger, but Chu Ran just laughed complacently twice, then continued to move closer to Di Mo Jiu step by step, slowly squatting down and asking, "Aiya, what a pity. We''ve obviously been together for so long, but suddenly he said he died, and he''s still a little reluctant to part with me."


    "Is that so?" Third Prince indifferently shrugged his shoulders and said with an extremely contemptuous tone, "When you attacked, why didn''t you feel reluctant?"


    Chu Ran protested coquettishly and looked at the Third Prince with dissatisfaction.


    Jun Qiyan couldn''t wait to pick up his sword and kill this beast!


    But when she thought of Di Mo Jiu, who loved Chu Ran the most, Jun Qiyan couldn''t help but turn back to look at Di Mo Jiu, only to see that his expression was normal, completely unaffected by the ridicule and ridicule from these two people.


    "Forget it, I''m about to die." The Third Prince crossed his arms in front of his chest as he gave Di Mo Jiu a big smile, looking at him with a provocative look, "No matter what, it is still your old lover. Why don''t you properly express your feelings of success?"


    Can''t Move...


    Endure it for now ¡­


    Jun Qiyan was still persuading him again and again that he should endure for now. He could only bear with it until the adulterous couple left so that he could save Di Mo Jiu and help him heal his injuries.

 C207

    "Third Prince."


    Chu Ran seemed to have thought about the Third Prince''s words for a long time. Her eyes flickered as if she had remembered something that she didn''t want to look back on. Her expression became somewhat awkward.


    The two mocked and ridiculed for a while, but still did not see any reaction from Di Mo Jiu. Thus, they felt bored. After exchanging a glance, they turned around and left.


    Di Mo Jiu didn''t walk far before he suddenly held his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood.


    As he spat out the blood, Di Moyu''s cultivation base seemed to have escaped from his body along with the sound of his heavy breathing ¡­


    His body was disappearing bit by bit. Even Di Mo Jiu could not help but feel powerless in the face of the simple ''Obscure'' method of helping Jun Feiyan become invisible.


    "Ninth Master!" Jun Qiyan hurriedly rushed forward, "How are you? You... Are you all right? You have to hold on! "


    Jun Qiyan was burning with anxiety, he could no longer afford to waste time on Chu Ran and the Third Prince. He immediately used a healing technique and started treating Di Mo Jiu''s injuries.


    "Jun Qiyan ¡ª you bitch!"


    A sharp, familiar, yet outrageous female voice rang out. Jun Qiyan froze, but did not stop what she was doing.


    She would never forget this voice for the rest of her life ¡­


    But why was Chu Ran here?


    Shouldn''t she be leaving?


    By the time Jun Qiyan turned around, Chu Ran had already rushed over. Her long fingernail had grabbed Jun Qianyan''s arm and forcefully pulled her away from Di Mo Jiu. She glared at her with cold eyes.


    "You ¡ª piss off!"


    Jun Qiyan was also not someone to be trifled with. Seeing that Chu Ran had already returned, she waved her hand and threw Chu Ran out!


    However, in the next second, Jun Qiyan froze again.


    It was unknown when even the Third Prince discovered her existence. Right after she left Chu Ran, the Third Prince used an even colder gaze to stare at her.


    It''s over!


    Jun Qiyan''s brain exploded. Before she could react, the third prince had already made his move. Moreover, he was using the same trick she had used on Chu Ran just now to ''entertain'' her.


    This time, he was afraid he wouldn''t be able to escape.


    Jun Qiyan was lying on the ground as he looked at the third prince with blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.


    Quickly, Jun Qiyan also saw it. Chu Ran stood up with a cold smile on her face and elegantly turned around. Jun Qiyan clearly saw a dark light flash in Chu Ran''s eyes, and as her sleeves fluttered, several silver needles flew towards her!


    "Wow ¡­"


    Jun Qiyan didn''t have enough time to dodge the projectiles. All of them were struck to the side, and her body was unable to withstand the force. She felt something rushing up her throat, and then she spat out a mouthful of blood.


    "You all ¡­"


    Jun Qiyan lay on the ground, unable to move anymore. She could only glare at Chu Ran angrily, coughing as she said, "I regret it the most ¡­" I just brought you along... Go to God together... "The palace ¡­"


    "It''s too late to say anything now!"


    Chu Shan smiled complacently. Before she could make a move, the Third Prince had already drawn his sword and stabbed it towards Jun Qiyan!


    Jun Qianyan closed her eyes in despair, but suddenly felt that she was being held down by something. When she opened her eyes, it was Di Mo Jiu who quickly flew over and tightly held her in his embrace!


    The smell of blood filled his nose. Jun Qiyan''s hands were trembling as she gently caressed his back. Her tears instantly gushed out.


    Half of the sword had already deeply embedded itself into his back. Jun Qiyan only felt her heart throbbing in pain. It was a kind of tearing pain that caused her to feel a piercing pain even when she breathed ¡­


    The two of them left complacently. Di Mo Jiu also raised his head. His face was pale, but his eyes were full of guilt. His pale lips that were as white as paper were slightly opened and closed ¡­


    "Sorry ¡­" "In the past, I was wrong about you ¡­"


    "Xiao Qi, quickly go ¡­ "Don''t worry about me ¡­"


    "Really, stop caring about me ¡­"


    Jun Qiyan slowly opened her eyes as she quietly lay on the bed. She stared at the ceiling. The white curtain hung over her head as she sank into deep thought.


    That day, Emperor Mo Jiu risked his life to save her, and she could only watch as he died in front of her. There was nothing she could do ¡­


    "Di Mo Jiu ¡­"


    Jun Qiyan closed her eyes as tears rolled down her cheeks, soaking her pillow.


    Along with the death of Di Mo Jiu, the secret realm was also slowly collapsing. Jun Qianyan vaguely remembered that at that time, she still wanted to carry Di Mo Jiu''s corpse and leave together, but reality didn''t allow her to do that. She had only walked a short distance, and she already couldn''t walk anymore.


    If it wasn''t for his unwillingness, he would have at least held his breath and waited for Di Mo Jiu to wake up. Jun Qiyan wouldn''t have met Nie Baishuang, nor would she have been saved by her, and wouldn''t have returned to the Profound East Continent.


    However, she still managed to leave safely. However, the price was that Di Mo Jiu''s corpse was not intact.


    A few days had passed, and according to Nie Baishuang, she had clearly lost a lot of weight. Right now, her face was pale, and she was only wearing a thin shirt. Although she was in bed, her hands and feet were still ice-cold, and she couldn''t feel any heat coming from her body.


    In the real Dongxuan Continent, Di Mo Jiu had already been unconscious for several days.


    Jun Qiyan was panicking.


    She didn''t know how she would live without Di Mo Jiu.


    Tears fell silently, his shoulders twitched, and his gaping mouth let out the slightest sound.


    Back then when they were in the secret realm, she couldn''t forget the tearing pain in her liver and intestines. She also couldn''t feel happy in the slightest after finding out that Di Mo Jiu didn''t die like in the secret realm after returning to the Eastern Xuan Continent.


    On the contrary, she was very afraid, very afraid that she would experience that pain again ¡ª that feeling of having her heart hollowed out, she really knew that.


    "Ninth Elder ¡­" "Please, don''t let anything happen to you ¡­"


    Jun Qiyan closed her eyes, and opened and closed her bloodless lips. Her voice, which was soft to the point that it was almost inaudible, was slowly exhaled along with her breathing.


    The door was suddenly opened by someone as a person approached.


    However, Jun Qiyan didn''t want to see it. She could only close her eyes to prevent the man from worrying more about her.


    "Xiao Qi."


    The one who pushed the door open was none other than Nie Baishuang, who had brought her back to the Eastern Xuan Continent. Looking at Jun Qianyan''s heartbroken expression, Nie Baishuang softly advised, "Don''t think too much about it, Doctor Ling''s medical skills are among the best in the entire Eastern Xuan Continent. He''ll definitely be fine."


    Jun Qiyan opened her eyes and lightly wiped away the tears on her face. Her eyes stared vacantly at a certain spot, but she didn''t look at Nie Baishuang.


    "Bai Shuang, I don''t want to see him again ¡­ "Die in front of me."


    Jun Qianyan slowly opened his mouth and spoke with a clear and cold voice. His voice was heavy with grief, "I can''t accept this ¡­ I can''t accept that. "


    In the secret realm, in reality, in Jun Qianyan''s heart, Di Mo Jiu had always been invincible. But why ¡­


    After hearing Jun Qiyan''s words, Nie Baishuang also sighed. She also knew that no matter what, she wouldn''t be able to persuade Jun Qianyan.


    The only thing she could do was accompany Jun Qianyan at her side, accompany her, and face any problems that might arise in the future.

 C208

    "Xiao Qi, don''t be like this."


    At this moment, the depressed and depressed Jun Qiyan made Nie Baishuang look very unfamiliar. After all, in her memories, she had always thought that Jun Qianyan was a stubborn and strong person. But why did she ¡­


    Nie Baishuang let out a heavy sigh and turned around, no longer looking at Jun Qiyan. However, when she saw the medicine bowl on the table next door and the nearly spilled soup, she was slightly surprised, then frowned.


    Jun Qiyan, this guy!


    "Xiao Qi, what are you plotting by doing this?"


    Seeing that Jun Qiyan was treating him as if he were being abused and had locked himself in a dead end alley and was unwilling to walk out, Nie Baishuang felt sorry for him, but was also angry, so she scolded her with a stern face, "What if Ninth Elder wakes up after you torment yourself like this? Do you want him to see that the person he desperately seeks has finally been killed by himself? "


    "Bai Shuang, what are you talking about?"


    Jun Qiyan frowned and looked at Nie Baishuang.


    "What else, you fool!"


    Nie Baishuang was infuriated. She opened her mouth and said, "Do you think that by doing this, Ninth Master will wake up? "I tell you, that''s impossible!"


    As if Nie Baishuang had gone mad, she suddenly shouted at Jun Feiyan.


    "Jun Qiyan, what qualifications do you have to be so depressed?"


    "You have no idea why Lord Ninth fainted!" You don''t even know what caused his spiritual energy to drop, which was why he was taken advantage of to launch a sneak attack! "


    "Jun Qiyan, you don''t know anything. You don''t have the qualifications to put on a show here and pretend to be sad!"


    At the end of her speech, Nie Baishuang choked with sobs. She could only hurriedly end the topic and shut her mouth.


    But Jun Qiyan was different.


    She had clearly heard something from Nie Baishuang''s words.


    Di Mo Jiu''s coma was not because of his injuries from being ambushed!


    "Xiao Qi, actually, Ninth Master ¡­ I really care about you. "


    Nie Baishuang let out a heavy sigh and sat down beside Jun Qianyan. She pursed her lips for a while, then slowly said, "When you were trapped inside the secret realm, he thought that you had disappeared and was looking for you everywhere, using every possible method to ¡­ "But everyone ¡­"


    Jun Qiyan''s pupils dilated.


    "It can be said that half of the reason why Ninth Master is unconscious right now is because of you ¡ª if you hadn''t disappeared, why would he be so anxious to find you? This is the reason why others have the chance to sneak attack you! "


    Nie Baishuang raised her head, tightly stared at Jun Qianyan, and said word by word, "Xiao Qi, she originally told me not to talk about these things, but I ¡­" Now that you know it already, do you still have any reason to be depressed? "


    Jun Qiyan was stunned. Closing her eyes, she bit her lips, not daring to utter a single word.


    She had thought of thousands upon thousands of results, but never could she have imagined that the Di Mo Nine Revolutions were like this because of her!


    Gently pushing open the door to Di Mo Jiu''s room, Jun Qiyan wanted to go see him, but discovered a man in a yellow robe was taking his pulse in Di Mo Jiu''s room.


    It was just a back figure, but Jun Qiyan could not clearly see the man''s face.


    However, Jun Qianyan knew that this man was none other than the number one Saint Hand of the Eastern Xuan Continent''s expert physician, Doctor Ling.


    Jun Qiyan carefully wiped away the tears on his face, telling the others not to laugh. After calming down, he then walked over to Di Mo Jiu''s bedside.


    Di Mo Jiu''s face was still as pale as before. His eyes that had once seen through the world were now tightly covered, but compared to when he was on the verge of death, his breathing was now much better.


    Jun Qiyan was overjoyed. The light in his eyes blurred, and the boulder blocking his heart seemed to be shrinking.


    Great... Great, he was finally feeling better.


    Knowing that Jun Qi had arrived, Doctor Ling nodded at her after taking her pulse. After some thought, he stood up again.


    Very quickly, an extremely ordinary face entered Jun Qiyan''s eyes.


    But Jun Qiyan didn''t care what Doctor Ling looked like. He was only concerned about Di Mo Jiu''s condition on the bed, so he politely smiled and asked softly, "Doctor, Ninth Gongzi, he ¡­" Can you wake up? "


    Doctor Ling gave a slight smile and nodded his head. He picked up the pen and wrote down a few words on the white paper. Then, he passed the paper to Jun Qiyan and said faintly, "His pulse has stabilized now. All you need to do is to apply the medicine on this list. I just used a silver needle to clear my acupoint, but I still need time to wake up. "


    Jun Qiyan tightly gripped the white paper, his heart had become a lot calmer. The corners of his mouth curled up into a smile, "Thank you, Godly Doctor, for saving me!"


    Physician Ling replied politely. After packing up his medical bag, he turned around and left.


    The only ones left in the room were Jun Qiyan and the unconscious Di Mo Jiu. Jun Qianyan put down the prescription and looked at Di Mo Jiu on the bed. A smile appeared on his face, but his eyes were still filled with worry.


    Jun Qiyan sat down on the edge of the bed, reached out his hand and gently caressed Di Mo Jiu''s face.


    This time, it was finally her turn to take care of him.


    Jun Qianyan smiled bitterly and lightly kissed Di Mo Jiu''s forehead. He then murmured, "I''m back ¡­" Ninth Master, I''m back, so ¡­ Wake up, will you? "


    On the other side, Yan Ruyu was not well either. As she looked at the heroic and elegant woman in front of her, his expression was gloomy and unclear.


    His voice was hoarse as he stretched out his hand. It seemed as if he wanted to touch the other party''s forehead, but he stopped mid-air.


    "How did you fall into adversity?" "And how did you get out ¡­"


    How are you? Did you suffer?


    Countless questions floated in his mind, but Yan Ruyu did not know what kind of position he should use to ask them.


    They hadn''t seen each other for close to ten thousand years. Yan Ruyu had no idea what kind of place he held in Nie Baishuang''s heart.


    Nie Baishuang''s feelings were equally complicated. There wasn''t the slightest hint of a smile on her face. The two of them didn''t seem like a couple that had just reunited after a long time.


    "I''m fine. How about you?" Nie Baishuang pursed her lips.


    Yan Ruyu responded with a light voice, then the two of them sank into silence again.


    "So how did you fall in that time?" Yan Ruyu seemed to be making this question very well, so he asked again.


    The corner of Nie Baishuang''s mouth twitched, but she didn''t say anything. Even if he said that woman''s name, would he still be able to avenge her?!


    Yan Ruyu''s protection of Zi Yu was outrageous to the crowd. Nie Baishuang, however, felt that after leaving for just a few years, Yan Ruyu had changed her habits because of herself.


    When Yan Ruyu saw that the other party didn''t say anything, he became a little anxious. Nie Baishuang''s words were cut off by a clear and crisp voice.


    "Sister White Frost!" Zi Yue leaped into Nie Baishuang''s arms. Nie Baishuang couldn''t help but stagger a few steps back and frown.


    Those who didn''t know would think that they were two good sisters that had been reunited a long time ago, but only they knew what the relationship between them was.


    "Sister White Frost, how did you come out of the secret realm? It''s simply too powerful! " Zi Yue blinked as she spoke innocently, her hands unconsciously clenching together.


    How could this woman come out? Earlier, he had been secretly eavesdropping on the conversation between Nie Baishuang and Yan Ruyu. He knew that Nie Baishuang had yet to expose what she had done, so he preemptively asked.

 C209

    Nie Baishuang''s expression turned cold, then she took a glance at Yan Ruyu who was at the side. The corner of her mouth curled up with difficulty, and she perfunctorily said, "I was able to come out. It really was a narrow escape ¡­"


    Nie Baishuang fiercely bit down on the word ''near death'' as if she wanted to emphasize something.


    Zi Yue didn''t seem to understand what she was saying. He opened her mouth wide in pain.


    "That''s enough, you two be a good sisters and reminisce when you''re free. Tell me about it first, Nie Baishuang ¡­" Before Yan Ruyu could finish speaking, he was interrupted by two voices at the same time.


    "No way!"


    "No!"


    This voice belonged to Nie Baishuang and Zi Yue.


    Nie Baishuang looked at Zi Yue with a deep gaze, causing her to feel a little guilty.


    "I was just thinking that Sister Bai Shuang''s body is weak and needs to rest. Brother Yu, you can''t bear Sister Bai Shuang to work so hard ¡­"


    "Sister White Frost walked out of the maze realm with great difficulty."


    Zi Yue fiercely bit down on those few words. She couldn''t help but think, why did this girl die inside, and why did she still come out to fight with him for Big Brother Yu!


    Seeing how the other party was full of lies and was too lazy to expose them, Nie Baishuang turned around and left the area.


    Jun Qiyan''s face was filled with worry as she stared at the sleeping Di Mo Jiu on the bed. Di Mo Jiu''s eyelashes were slightly trembling, his handsome face was flawless, and he had a beauty that could topple nations. It was different from the gentle and beautiful Di Mo Jiu.


    The bloodstains on Di Mo Jiu''s face had already been wiped clean by Jun Qiyan, but he was still in a coma.


    Jun Qiyan knew that Di Mo Jiu cared a lot about her, but he didn''t expect that this time it would be because of her. Di Mo Jiu''s old illness had struck again, and the usually ignorant Jun Qianyan felt a rare sense of guilt.


    Her face was now filled with calmness, but in her heart, she regretted that she didn''t send a message to Di Mo Jiu in time. If that was the case, Di Mo Jiu wouldn''t be in a coma right now.


    They all assumed that Di Mo Jiu was in a coma and would only wake up after a long time. Only Jun Qianyan was confident that Di Mo Jiu would wake up very soon.


    Jun Qiyan was holding onto Di Mo Jiu''s warm hand, his slender fingers were skinny and bony. Jun Mo Xie had been feeding him medicine these past few days, and it was hard to tell if Di Mo Jiu would wake up from his coma due to the bitter taste of the medicine.


    While this man was unconscious, Jun Qiyan only wanted to take care of him with all her heart until he woke up. After all, he was the most important person in her life.


    His clothes were finally relieved, and he became haggard for the sake of Yi Xiao. The two of them had indeed lost a lot of weight. However, Di Mo Jiu had been well fed with medicinal herbs. Although he looked a bit skinnier, his face was rosy and he didn''t seem like a seriously ill person.


    Jun Qiyan leaned against the headboard, looking at the side of Di Mo Jiu''s handsome face. The corners of her mouth slightly curled up. The way she slept was still quite cute.


    She poked Di Mo Jiu''s delicate cheek, soft as a baby''s cheek, her body had a very intoxicating aroma of dragon saliva. It was night, Jun Qi Yun was a bit drowsy, outside the window hidden under the leaves of the flowers, glimmering like the stars in the sky.


    Di Mo Jiu''s eyes were also like stars. He initially thought that Shi Yan was just an unruly, cold man, but after the iceberg melted, it was warm water.


    The moonlight shone through the window screen onto the room. Jun Qianyan muttered to herself, "When will you wake up in the end? I still have many things I need to trouble you with. I''m sorry, but it must have hurt a lot to know that you''ve been injured so many times before because of me."


    Di Mo Jiu''s eyelashes trembled slightly, but Jun Qiyan didn''t notice the change in Di Mo Jiu''s expression.


    "Oh yeah, if I had the time, I would bring you to drink peach blossom wine. In the dead of winter, drink alcohol to warm your bodies. When you go to the battlefield, will you drink alcohol in the cold? "I like peach blossom wine and fruit wine. They''re not intoxicating," Jun Qiyan said noncommittally. "You''re someone very important to me. When will you wake up? If you wait too long, I''m going to marry someone."


    He frowned slightly, and then relaxed again. Jun Qianyan didn''t notice his actions, she stared at his handsome face and seriously said, "How could I bear to part with you? It''s just that I''m lying to myself, I don''t want to deceive myself, because I like you."


    He clearly heard a familiar voice calling out his name, but was unable to open his eyes. He could not tell if this was a dream or reality, or if it was nothing, only a thick layer of darkness. He ran in the darkness, finally seeing the glimmer of light.


    After running for who knows how long, he finally broke out of the darkness.


    As soon as Di Mo Jiu opened his eyes, he saw furry hair. It was fresh and smelled like gardenia. It was like a sunny March day with a light breeze blowing his hair.


    Di Mo Jiu''s heart calmed down. His hands slowly stroke this hair, and it was still a familiar feeling. After waking up, the first thing he saw was his heart, which felt pretty good.


    It was unknown when Jun Qiyan fell asleep on the edge of the bed, but she was still drowsily dreaming. Her back was dripping with sweat and her brows were tightly knitted together; she was dreaming that someone had gone to her treasury to steal her money. She abruptly raised her foot and kicked.


    Di Moyu sucked in a deep breath. The bed that Jun Qiyan had kicked was exactly where his illness was. Di Moyu could only feel a numbing pain in his heart. He looked around and saw that Jun Feiyan''s eyes were still drowsy and he was still in a daze. He said, "You''re awake?"


    Di Mo Jiu''s voice was still a little hoarse and he had the smell of medicinal herbs in his mouth. Di Mo Jiu smiled and said, "In your dreams, are you arguing with someone else? Does the foot that kicks at the bed hurt? "


    "It hurts." The corners of her mouth were drooping, and her feet had not recovered yet. She thought she was still dreaming, so she looked at Di Mo Jiu and said:


    I don''t have to wait here anymore. Thanks to you, I''ve lost two kilograms of weight. After you''ve recovered, remember to take me to the restaurant. We''ll put it on a plate and use that to comfort the two kilograms of meat that I lost.


    Di Moyu knew that Jun Qiyan was still dreaming, so he raised his hand to lightly pinch her cheek. Jun Qiyan let out a cry of pain and realized that this was not a dream.


    He looked at her with a smile and said, "I''m back. Tomorrow, I''ll go and buy the best restaurant. You are the Lady Boss there. You can eat whatever you want."

 C210

    "I don''t want a restaurant anymore." Di Mo Jiu raised his eyebrows in confusion. Jun Qiyan said, "Delicious food is not even comparable to the beauty of your dishes."


    "Where did you learn these words? I''m only unconscious for a few days, and you think so much of me?" I see that you''ve recently lost a few kilograms of weight and your figure has improved quite a bit. Not bad, not bad.


    "Humph, I am called the Second Bird of the Year. Firstly, I accompanied the unconscious you for so many days, and my mental strength has also increased by quite a bit. Secondly, you''re right, I have naturally lost weight. What else can this not be called?" As Jun Qiyan spoke, he was full of joy from the bottom of his heart, because Di Mo Jiu had awoken unharmed.


    The two chatted for a while. After confirming that Di Mo Jiu had fully woken up, Jun Qiyan told Di Mo Jiu everything that had happened. Di Mo Jiu''s expression was solemn.


    "Don''t worry, I''ll definitely find the killer." Di Mo Jiu said with great determination. His phoenix eyes slightly narrowed, releasing a dangerous sense of power.


    The servants already knew that Di Mo Jiu had awoken and was spreading faster than Li Xunhuan''s flying dagger. Zi Yue had come to visit Di Mo Jiu, and even Gan Yin, Nie Baishuang, and Yan Ruyu had rushed over after receiving the news.


    Zi Yue bit her lower lip, pretending that everyone was wrongly accusing her.


    Di Mo Jiu''s expression darkened, his eyes were filled with disappointment. Zi Yue had always been a little girl that only needed other people to take care of her. How could she do such a heinous thing? It was somewhat unacceptable to him.


    Di Mo Jiu frowned, leaned against the wall in his undergarment and coughed twice. His body hadn''t fully recovered yet, but he still felt some pain after a slight movement. Di Mo Jiu was disappointed with this matter and turned a blind eye to Zi Yue''s begging for help.


    He couldn''t indulge Zi Yue in this way, indulging a young girl who didn''t know her limits too much. Who knew what would happen in the future?


    Zi Yue could clearly feel Di Mo Jiu''s disappointment in her. This wasn''t the result Zi Yue wanted. Zi Yue looked at Yan Ruyu, who was whispering something to Nie Bai Shuang.


    Zi Yue looked at the intimate relationship between Nie Tianshuang and Yan Ruyu, and a trace of jealousy rose in her heart. She had clearly been in love with Yan Ruyu for such a long time, but Yan Ruyu still treated her as a friend''s little sister.


    Such a pampering couldn''t be envied by others. Many girls yearned to have a brother who doted on them in their dreams.


    Zi Yue didn''t want to be Yan Ruyu''s younger sister. She liked Yan Ruyu different from his younger sister. For her to call him elder brother, Zi Yue felt that it was a mockery.


    Seeing the love of the people he loved, the flame of jealousy was about to burn Zi Yue to ashes. This kind of relationship was very hard to bear, as if one was in a world of ice and fire, enduring the joy and sadness brought about by his secret love.


    In her world,


    Zi Yue didn''t want to take responsibility for herself. She didn''t want to see her good life waved away. Now, Zi Yue knew that if she admitted that she had done it, the consequences would be very serious. Di Mo Jiu wouldn''t leave his woman behind.


    However, what Zi Yue didn''t know was that if she could handle this matter, and even apologize to Jun Qianyan and Nie Baishuang with a good attitude, Di Mo Jiu would still plead for her as long as she was sincere and leave her with the golden spoon in her mouth.


    Zi Yue was flustered. Everyone''s gaze was on her, making her hair stand on end. She felt that if she were to tell them everything, she would definitely not be able to handle it. She had only thought of the worst outcome, and not the best way to resolve it.


    Zi Yue only wanted to divert their attention. This was her usual method. Whenever this happened, Di Mo Jiu would let her off this time.


    In the long run, Zi Yue had always thought that every time she made a mistake, she would be forgiven by Di Mo Jiu. But the current Di Mo Jiu was a vicious image Zi Yue had never seen before.


    "Actually, I wasn''t the one who did this. This is Gan Yin''s doing." Zi Yue seemed to have found a scapegoat.


    Di Mo Jiu''s expression was puzzled, his eyes were filled with infinite playfulness. Zi Yue felt that Di Mo Jiu revealing his expression was to shield her. This gaze was misinterpreted by her as a form of praise for her.


    Zi Yue pointed at Gan Yin and said, "Do you think we know what you''re thinking? You are just a guard, no matter how much you climb, you won''t reach the height that you beg for. You know, you are just a guard, what can you do?


    Zi Yue''s words were overbearing, not giving Gan Yin a chance to retort.


    "You are a woman of the snake and the scorpion race. As a servant, you actually want to harm your mistress. You truly have the guts to eat a leopard."


    "What? Are you admitting it if you don''t speak?"


    Gan Yin was very angry in his heart. Although he did like Di Mo Jiu, he had never done anything wicked. He was very loyal to Di Mo Jiu, and so was Jun Qianyan.


    She had never had second thoughts and had always told herself that she couldn''t have second thoughts towards Di Mo Jiu. In her heart, Di Mo Jiu was a noble man''s master, and she was just a weed by the side of the road who had received a great amount of pity.


    "I have never had any ill intentions towards my master. Don''t be so coquettish. You were the one who thought about it, and yet I said it. You are the girl with the snake and scorpion!" Gan Yin retorted with a flushed face.


    "I''m talking about the fact that you were jealous of your sister Jun and almost killed her. Don''t try to quibble with me." Zi Yue had always been sharp tongue-tied. She was known for her ability to shirk responsibility. It was only because she saw that Gan Yin was not going to retort that she pushed the matter onto Gan Yin. Thus, when Gan Yin opened her mouth to refute, she was slightly surprised.


    Zi Yue''s face showed a trace of panic, but she still said unrepentantly, "You are the sinner. Brother Mo Jiu, you don''t believe me?" She then looked at Di Mo Jiu pitifully.


    Gan Yin was very angry. She said, "Don''t spout slander. I admire my master and have no feelings for a girl."


    A tense atmosphere permeated the air. Yan Ruyu narrowed his eyes lazily as he watched this farce.


    Yan Ruyu had understood the general meaning behind his words. Someone must have lied to both Gan Yin and Zi Yue. Gan Yin was a guard, so naturally, he would be loyal to his master. Gan Yin''s feelings for Di Mo Jiu were not ordinary, but Gan Yin was always kind.


    Zi Yue was a pampered little girl, unruly and willful, with a fickle personality. Yan Ruyu felt that this matter was related to Zi Yue.


    Of course, this was only intuition. Intuition could not be used as a reference for evidence, but Yan Ruyu''s intuition was especially accurate.


    She sighed lightly and thought, "I, Zi Yue, have spoiled you." Actually, what she wanted was only an apology from Zi Yue. With this apology, he could protect Zi Yue for the rest of her life without any worries, but people didn''t want to see each other again.


    Gan Yin was so angry that his entire body was trembling. Seeing Zi Yue act like a spoiled child to Di Mo Jiu, he became a little absent-minded. Gan Yin refused to believe that his master was someone who did not care about the right or wrong.

 C211

    "Gan Yin, do you have a witness?" Di Mo Jiu said to Gan Yin.


    "I ¡­" Gan Yin lowered his head. Yes, the situation at that time was very chaotic. "I ¡­" "No ¡­"


    "We are your witnesses who say you have no witnesses." Jun Qiyan and Nie Baishuang said in unison.


    "Don''t think that we didn''t see it. Actually, we already knew that it was you who pushed us down. Merely, without saying anything, we only wanted to give you a chance to turn over a new leaf. Unfortunately, you betrayed our good intentions." Jun Qiyan and Nie Baishuang testified together.


    Gan Yin looked at them gratefully. Jun Qiyan smiled and said, "You admiring my husband just happens to show that my husband is still charming. Thank you for your appreciation."


    Zi Yue was in despair, her mind a little dizzy. Her matter had already been exposed, and now no matter how she tried to defend herself, she was just a clown. Zi Yue suddenly laughed and said, "You lied to me."


    "It''s not that we''re lying, it''s that you''re lying to yourself."


    Yan Ruyu was most interested in that sort of thing. Seeing that the farce was over, it was time to end it. So, he called for someone to chase Zi Yue out of the divine hall.


    When Jun Qiyan saw that Di Mo Jiu''s injuries had not fully healed, he still needed someone to take care of him. However, someone outside came to inform him that the Elders of the academy wanted him to hurry up and attend the school, saying that it was extremely urgent.


    Jun Qiqi wrinkled her delicate eyebrows, her fair skin faintly revealing traces of a faint red hue.


    "What big thing has happened in the academy?" You actually want me to hurry back? "


    Normally, when faced with such a situation, the academy would only be in a hurry to return to the academy because of an urgent matter.


    "Qi Qi, why did you enter?" A gentle voice drifted over. The low and deep voice had a certain magnetism to it, and the person who appeared was none other than Di Mo Jiu.


    Jun Yunrue turned around, a trace of gentleness could be seen under his furrowed brows. However, a bitter smile was still plastered on his face.


    "What else can you do? The academy makes me feel like going back. I had originally wanted to stay behind to take care of you ¡­"


    Di Mo Jiu''s face revealed a gentle smile, "What''s wrong? I''ll go back with you. Plus, no one will take care of me if I stay here. So I''ll go back with you. We''ll take care of each other on the way back."


    Seeing that Jun Qiqi was hesitating, Di Mo Jiu resentfully said, "It can''t be that you don''t want to take care of me, right? It seems that I''ve been rejected in the end."


    Jun Qiqi was speechless. "How could that be? Nonsense. Alright, let''s pack up and go back."


    Mo Jiu''s handsome face revealed a smile again.


    Tanas Academy.


    At this moment, the flames of war were flying everywhere.


    Boundless spiritual energy, centered around the academy, spread out in all directions. A gorgeous luster interweaved in the sky, and in addition to the fleeting yet dazzling radiance, it undoubtedly revealed that there was a battle going on here.


    A young woman with a grave expression was standing at the foot of a wall. Her face was grave, because in front of her was a young man dressed in white, holding a long sword.


    Just like this, a small amount of powder appeared at the tip of the sword. If one looked carefully, they would notice that there were already tiny cracks on the stone floor.


    "Your Tanas Academy has always been very arrogant. To think that they could actually bully our Sword Spirit Sect. If they don''t give up now, they will really let down their ancestors." The young man smiled indifferently, but there was a hint of cruelty in his smile.


    The gloomy-looking young man was really Beijing''s Ji Bai. She had long thought that someone would come from such an alleyway and cut off the residences of the new students. She hadn''t thought that she would run into such a troublesome enemy.


    "If I''m not mistaken, you must be one of the outstanding figures of the Sword Spirit Sect, Ling Zhuo, right?" In fact, the current situation was one where everyone was on full alert. Especially the spiritual energy within his body, which was circulating at a high speed.


    The young man chuckled, "Looks like there are people who know my reputation. My decades of life have not been in vain."


    As he spoke, his entire body was surrounded by Sword Qi, and he was clearly quite strong. He was clearly a few decades old, but he looked to be only half his age. It was clear that this person''s cultivation base had reached an unfathomable level.


    "Isn''t your Sword Spirit Sect too shameless?" For a few trivial matters, you actually dared to make a big move against the academy. This is really interesting. " Jing and Ji Bai''s eyes were deep because the sounds of people screaming and clashing weapons came from behind them. Other than that, the voices of people from the Sword Spirit Sect were getting louder and louder.


    There was no need to see anything. Just from the voice alone, one could tell that the current situation was completely on the Sword Spirit Sect''s side.


    "Since you''re able to come here and obstruct me, you must have thought of my goal. Of course, we''ll find some kids with decent postures and not destroy our Sword Spirit Sect, so we can leave some seeds for you to see. Your so-called genius, in front of true strength, is nothing but a ridiculous excuse."


    "Our elder wanted to let the world see how some of the so-called outstanding geniuses fought for their lives!"


    At the end, it was laced with a thick sense of ridicule.


    The capital''s Ji Bai slightly narrowed his eyes. Disappointment flashed across his eyes before it quickly turned into determination. His spiritual energy exploded outwards in an instant. Since he had nowhere to retreat to, he might as well have a good fight!


    "I want to see exactly what ability you have!"


    In the blink of an eye, the path leading to the academy''s new student residence was surrounded by a golden glow. With Beijing and Whitey as the center, countless shields of light appeared on the ground, surrounding the ''youngster'' who had yet to move a single step.


    Every light shield contained an aura that caused one''s heart to tremble.


    The light shield slowly rotated, its dazzling radiance piercing one''s eyes.


    Just looking at this move, it was sufficient to make one happy. It was just that he did not know how powerful it would be.


    The corner of Zhuo''s mouth twitched in disdain. "It''s really an insignificant skill, but ¡­" A trace of a peculiar color flashed through Lin Zhuo''s eyes, like an extremely fierce wild beast. "If you''ll obediently follow me and have a leader that can lead those students, then I might as well spare your life."


    "What big words." Jing and Ji Bai narrowed their eyes, with a hint of disdain in their tone, they pursed their lips, "What big words."


    As he finished speaking, the staff that had appeared out of nowhere began to rotate in Ji Bai''s hand, and countless blades of light began to appear.


    Lin Zhuo sneered and said, "A small trick!"


    With that, he unsheathed the long sword in his hand and hacked towards Ji Bai without hesitation.


    It carried an invincible aura.


    Jing and Ji Bai took a deep breath, and their hands began to form seals in the dark.


    "Stop!" An angry shout came from behind Ji Bai. A young man rushed out as if trying to pull Ji Bai''s hand away. However, the sword qi was too fast. In a blink of an eye, he appeared in front of them.


    Just when the two of them thought that Wu Zhangkong was able to escape from the sword, the sword suddenly split open and disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving behind a large amount of sword Qi and spiritual force.


    Two slender figures slowly appeared behind Ling Zhuo.


    "Your excellency, you are truly impressive. To think that my men would dare to attack you. Are they truly not afraid of being decapitated?"

 C212

    That tall and slender figure was none other than Di Mo Jiu. The two of them had rushed back in a hurry, and had witnessed the terrifying scene of the encirclement and attack of the academy.


    Di Mo Jiu was the first to suggest that he go take a look at the surrounding area. Exactly what kind of powerful figure would dare make a move against Tanas Academy? If there was a mastermind behind all this, both sides would first know a certain amount of information.


    Jun Yunrue, on the other hand, had chosen to come to this small road to block off this place. She had guessed the thing she was most worried about, and it seemed that the Sword Spirit Sect had indeed sent people to attack from this small road.


    Zhuo''s pupils shrank. He hadn''t expected that there would actually be someone capable of easily neutralizing his Spiritual Energy attack. Moreover, he didn''t even feel a trace of it. The gap between them was already quite large.


    "Who are you? How could you possess such might?" This caused Zhuo to lift his sword and look at the young man leisurely walking over from behind.


    His figure was tall and slender, and both of his hands were hanging lazily. However, did such a young man really say such arrogant words that was not afraid of his head being separated?


    One had to know that he wasn''t bad enough to make people think that he was one of the most outstanding people in the Sword Spirit Sect.


    Di Mo Jiu only shot him a glance, but after he saw Jun Qi Qi''s expression, he didn''t make a move. Instead, he leisurely walked past the tense Ling Zhuo.


    When Jun Qiqi saw that Di Mo Jiu had not made his move, she was relieved. If he had made his move, her identity might have been exposed in this situation. This was an extremely unwise action.


    A bitter and rare smile appeared on Jun Qiqi''s face as she watched the youth run out of the room.


    "Chen Lang, how did you know I was here?"


    The boy that hurriedly appeared was none other than Chen Lang.


    Seeing that she was about to launch an attack, he knew that he couldn''t interfere, otherwise it would affect her moves. However, when he saw that she had fallen into danger, he didn''t care about the danger at all.


    Although his courage was commendable, if not for the appearance of Di Mo Jiu, this sword attack would have been able to kill two people.


    When he saw Di Mo Jiu appear, he smiled and scratched his head, "Mo Jiu, we already know who you are, so we can roughly guess where you are going. Jing Ji Bai told me that he saw Brother Mo Jiu, but he didn''t see you, so he guessed that you were on this small path and wanted me to come over to take a look."


    Firstly, this small path could directly lead him to the residence of the new students, and secondly, it had the feeling of being able to encircle the academy from behind. Although there were many small paths like this, because of the new students'' residences, this small path seemed exceptionally important.


    Jun Qiqi understood in her heart that Ji Bai''s brain was not only capable of doing business. She could always think of certain details that others could not think of.


    It seemed that those with brains were capable of anything.


    "Why are you back so soon?" Jun Qiqi asked as she looked at Di Mo Jiu.


    Di Mo Jiu shook his head, "The mastermind is quite powerful. I didn''t make any rash moves, so I came back to find you. However, his power is only relative to ordinary people, if he were to meet me ¡­"


    Di Mo Jiu looked at Jun Qi''s stern expression and shrugged his shoulders. "What''s there to be afraid of? In my eyes, that guy is already a dead man. I can''t bear to look at that pitiful sword intent."


    "Alright, alright, I just fought with him. He''s quite powerful, we can''t underestimate him." As Jun Qiqi said this, her eyes fell upon Feng Chenlang.


    "Qi-jie, why are you looking at me like that?" A bad feeling rose in Feng Chen Lang''s heart.


    In fact, in the heart of this foolish youth, when he saw that Jun Qiqi was able to return, he had thought that this storm would pass.


    "Of course I''m asking you to hit him. Go ahead, with Mo Jiu guiding you from behind, are you afraid that you won''t be able to beat him?" Jun Qiqi said as if it was a matter of course.


    Di Mo Jiu shook his head, "If he can''t beat him, that guy will be added too."


    A halo of light swept over from afar, appearing outstanding under the darkness of the night.


    The person who had just arrived was none other than Beijing''s Ji Bai. He was worried that Feng Chen Lang wouldn''t be able to change the situation, so he personally came to take a look.


    He hadn''t expected to see Di Mo Jiu and Jun Qi standing together, this young man whose face still had traces of blood on it. After landing and seeing that the three of them were fine, he let out a sigh of relief.


    "I can''t hold on any longer. The Sword Spirit Sect is too strong. I plan to lead a few students and retreat!" Beijing, Ji Bai said in a deep voice.


    His white clothes were already stained with blood and wounds, and under the faint light it was especially shocking.


    "In that case, I have no other choice." Jun Qiqi let out a deep sigh as she glanced at Di Mo Jiu, who nodded slightly.


    "You two go and get rid of that Lin Zhuo, I''ll take a look at the front." Jun Qiqi said to Ji Bai and Feng Chenlang.


    Beijing''s Ji Bai wanted to say something, but when he saw Di Mo Jiu''s cold face, he didn''t care. Anyway, the man on the other side of the sword had already done such a thing.


    Then be careful."


    Jun Qiqi glanced at Di Mo Jiu, who then brought her to a place with fewer people.


    "Release it first." Jun Qiqi shook her head with a bitter smile. After all, the academy was currently filled with wails and screams. The intensity of the battle was beyond the imagination of an ordinary person.


    Collapsed houses, broken tiles, red soil.


    In a real battle, life and death could happen in an instant.


    "Hiss, hiss, hiss!" Just as Jun Qiqi finished speaking, a pair of eyes appeared behind her back.


    Those eyes were very large and they were blood-red in color, like a pair of red lanterns.


    This pair of scarlet eyes continued to rise, and on the side appeared another pair of scarlet, gigantic eyes.


    Not only that, a third pair of scarlet eyes also appeared.


    Fourth pair, fifth pair, sixth pair, seventh pair, eighth pair!


    A total of eight pairs of scarlet eyeballs appeared in the sky behind Jun Qiqi, swaying in the darkness like erratic lanterns, carrying with it traces of a demonic aura.


    Jun Qiqi turned her head to look at the eight-headed Octavo Snake.


    Without too many orders, the huge snake immediately charged towards the front gate of the academy.


    Besides the eight heads, there were also eight tails.


    "Hiss, hiss, hiss!" At this moment, the majority of the students in front of the academy only felt the arrival of the demon god.

 C213

    The huge body of the Octadic Snake brought an inexplicable feeling of suppression to this space.


    "What''s going on? "Why does this damned Ghost Academy have this kind of berserk beast!"


    "That''s right, it''s not something we can deal with. Senior, we should ask for your help!"


    Most of the people from the Sword Spirit Sect stopped.


    Especially for those eight eyes, endless ruthlessness and ruthlessness flowed out from them. They looked like ants from the people on the ground and all of them were having their meal.


    A terrifying and berserk demonic cloud coiled around its huge body, as if it wanted to make this entire world submit beneath its feet.


    A terrifying aura filled the world.


    Most of the academies were also stupefied.


    "When did our academy have such a ferocious beast become a courtyard beast?"


    It was what most of the people were thinking at the moment. It was something worth celebrating.


    The huge body of the Octadic Snake crushed the front gate, and everyone made way, avoiding the intense demonic cloud. This demonic cloud did not only have a terrifying spiritual energy fluctuation, but also a fierce poison.


    Under such circumstances, most of the people present were injured. If they had a lower cultivation realm, they would not even know how they died.


    "Dammit, it''s coming! Charge!"


    The people of the Sword Spirit Sect weren''t ordinary people either. They were at this critical juncture, so how could they back off because of an ancient demon beast?


    "Let''s attack together!" This demon beast had been completely exhausted! If it doesn''t work, then I will smash it to death with my magic treasure! " A voice sounded.


    The people from the Sword Spirit Sect were excited. We have a lot of people! Who didn''t know that two fists is no match for four hands?


    Even if the demonic beast''s body was sturdy, how could it possibly withstand the attacks of so many sharp swords? The moment the spiritual energy in its body was completely used up, it would be the time to massacre the demons!


    In the blink of an eye, the great swords released a dazzling light. Streams of incomparably sharp sword qi shot up into the sky. Among them, there was a weak sword qi.


    But overall, the Sword Spirit Sect''s group was truly strong.


    One after another, sword lights shot out, smashing into the clouds, and finally landing on the huge body of the snake.


    "Hiss, hiss, hiss!" The scarlet eyes of the Octadic Great Snake spewed fire. Thick demonic clouds shot out from its mouth.


    The sword light and the demonic cloud intertwined.


    Just like the stars surrounding the moon, the dark clouds were surrounded by sword lights.


    "Hurry up!" At this moment, the people from the academy finally regained their senses. It was unknown who shouted, but the people who had stopped attacking immediately started attacking once more.


    Previously, it had been the academy''s defense, but the people from the Sword Spirit Sect had continuously launched their attacks. However, due to a strange Octadic Snake joining the battle, the horn for a counterattack had been blown by Tanas Academy.


    Both sides began to fight again. Brilliant colors dyed the ground red.


    The Octadic Snake was an ancient beast after all, sweeping through the crowd of the Sword Spirit Sect like a war god.


    At this moment, there were two people standing on top of a roof.


    It was none other than Jun Qiqi and Di Jiumei.


    "Come on!" We must beat them back! " Seeing that the situation had reversed, Jun Qiqi relaxed a lot, but she still anxiously observed the situation.


    Di Jiumo shook his head, "It''s not that easy."


    Jun Qiqi''s heart trembled slightly. "Why? "Right now, the people from the Sword Spirit Sect are retreating. This is something we can all see!"


    Di Jiumo calmly looked at the Sword Spirit Sect that was retreating. "They definitely have other tricks up their sleeves."


    Just as he finished speaking, an angry roar came from the other side of the darkness.


    "Roar!"


    Immediately after, a ferocious beast rushed out of the darkness, its pair of huge eyes emitting a green light that could cause a person to tremble.


    Like a wolf.


    "What!?" It''s actually a Taotie! " Di Mo Jiu was even more surprised than Jun Qi, "Good, good, good. This damned fella actually helped someone else to deal with me."


    Tao Tie and the Octadic Snake were all 12 Protectors of Di Mo Jiu, so how could they not be angry?


    "Mo Jiu, what''s going on?" Jun Qi''s eyes widened, and his face paled.


    Di Mo Jiu took a deep breath and said, "It must be controlled by someone. I don''t even recognize it anymore, I will eat it another day."


    Jun Qiqi''s heart sank to the bottom.


    Sure enough, the moment the Taotie came out, it started fighting with the seemingly abnormal Octadic Snake.


    A huge fist similarly condensed a terrifying devil cloud and a fierce spiritual energy.


    The sixteen eyes of the huge snake stared blankly for a moment, but soon after, it let out a furious roar. The two ancient demon beasts, which were full of anger, started to fight with each other while gnawing on the monstrous demonic clouds.


    Both sides understood that at the crucial point, another intense battle had begun.


    The night wind was bleak.


    The two demon beasts fought like war gods for nearly a quarter of an hour, both of them covered in black blood.


    Jun Qiqi couldn''t help but close her eyes. "It''s all because of your protector. The fight must have been a draw. The academy no longer has any true combat strength left."


    Indeed, after the previous round of battles, most of the academy''s core strength had been destroyed. However, there were still Spiritual Energy fluctuations emitting from the back of the Sword Spirit Sect. It was obvious that there were still people who had yet to make their move.


    "Kill!" Another battle cry came from afar.


    The light rose again.


    Another round of attacks began.


    "Should I make a move?" Di Mo Jiu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke out.


    Jun Qiqi was about to say something when she saw an old man standing behind her.


    "You two sure are considerate." The old man''s skin was withered, but the smile on his face never faded.


    Jun Qiqi was frightened out of her wits and abruptly turned her head. "Old grandpa, when did you appear?"


    The old man shook his head, while Di Mo Jiu ignored him.


    "Thank you for your work. Now it''s my turn." The old man smiled again and his figure flashed.


    "Who is he!" Jun Qiqi suddenly asked, feeling that the old man was a bit familiar.


    Di Mo Jiu looked into the distance, "The founder of the academy, you don''t know him, it''s just a remnant soul. Under normal circumstances, it could last for four hours, now he''s gone to find the mastermind behind it. If he can win, then this crisis will be solved."


    If he couldn''t win, the result was obvious.


    A battle between experts could last for a long time or only last for an instant.


    Not long after Di Mo Jiu finished speaking, that old man appeared in front of Jun Qi once again.


    However, this time, his figure became illusory, and a helpless smile hung on the old man''s face.


    "President!" She had never thought that it would actually be the old headmaster!


    "Haha, it''s alright. I believe that our academy will be able to survive this crisis. I have already done my best, and I am only injuring that person. Next, I will need to rely on all of you ¡­"


    After saying this, the old man began to sing a song.


    The remnant soul had dissipated, and the songs of this chaotic world had disappeared.

 C214

    After the dean left, everyone''s mood sank to the bottom. This was not only a blow to their strength, but also a mental setback. The dean''s existence was like a divine needle that could freeze the sea, but when the divine needle suddenly died, no one could bear it anymore.


    However, Jun Qianyan wasn''t in the mood to be upset. She gathered everyone together and said clearly, word by word, "We can''t continue like this. We have to find a way to deal with this."


    Feng Chen Lang also nodded. He took a deep breath and continued, "The Sword Spirit Sect has also received quite a bit of damage in this round of war. They will definitely not launch another attack within three to five days."


    Beijing''s Ji Bai frowned. "But we can''t continue to waste time like this. The Sword Spirit Sect will come back one day, and our academy has already ¡­"


    Beijing''s Ji Bai''s voice paused for a moment before he stopped saying those depressing words.


    After a moment of silence, Jun Qiyan continued, "We need to infiltrate into the enemy''s territory in order to have the opportunity to win."


    Sneak into the Sword Spirit Sect''s base?!


    This idea wasn''t impossible, but it was too risky, so no one brought it up.


    When Di Mo Jiu heard this, he was the first to deny it, "No!"


    He had already lost this little girl once. If she really left again, he really did not know how much he would lose control ¡­


    He absolutely could not allow Jun Qiyan to be in the slightest bit of danger.


    Jun Qiyan blinked as if he was trying to comfort Di Mo Jiu. "But this is the only way ¡­"


    Di Mo Jiu really wanted to say, "What does the food in Tanas Academy have to do with us?!"


    However, Di Mo Jiu knew that Jun Qiyan would never abandon his comrades. Tynes Academy was now not only an ordinary academy for Jun Qiyan, but also his own home.


    There were people he cared about, people he loved. He absolutely would not allow the intruder to destroy his home!


    Feng Chenlang pursed his lips, his eyes clear without a trace of impurity: "I know how you feel. It''s too dangerous if you, Mu Jiu, were to go. Bring me along!"


    "And although my body isn''t in a good condition, I can communicate with flowers, plants, and trees. I can more or less contribute a little."


    The sickly youth looked as if he could be blown away by a gust of wind, but the resolution in his voice was not to be questioned.


    "You two already said that, how can you leave me behind? We''re a team!"


    Gu Yao couldn''t help but grit his teeth when he saw the few people who had come to an agreement. He coldly snorted, "You little brats, how can you not bring me along at this time?"


    With that, Jun Qianyan turned to look at Di Mo Jiu. Di Mo Jiu looked at them with a dark expression, and then sighed helplessly.


    "I''ll go with you guys ¡­"


    Upon seeing those who had come to a consensus on the matter, Grandmaster Bluemoon, who was standing by the side, couldn''t help but chuckle.


    With a hint of seriousness on his face, he looked rather comical. "You guys must be extra careful on the way ¡­"


    "This is the medicinal pill I refined."


    Grandmaster Green Edge called for the Spatial Ring to be passed over. After everyone was done keeping the ring, they turned around and left Tynes Academy.


    As Grandmaster Bluesea watched the youngsters leave, his heart was filled with emotion.


    Under the scorching sun, Jun Qiyan, Di Mo Jiu and the others had already walked more than half the distance.


    "What kind of weather is this?" Feng Chen Lang narrowed his eyes at the sun and could not help but mutter with an extremely unfriendly expression.


    The few of them heard his words but did not say anything. However, the weather was like a steamer, so they did not feel any better.


    Ye Changsheng, who was standing to the side, heard the sound of the kettle being passed to him. "Let''s hold on for a bit."


    Feng Chen Lang shook his head and didn''t accept. He knew in his heart that Ye Changsheng''s health was not good to begin with. The weather that even he could not endure would definitely be several times worse for him. He wasn''t a pretentious person, yet he was still taking the water from the other party. What kind of person was this?


    The weather got hotter and hotter. The harsh sunlight shone straight on the group. The surroundings were no longer covered in shade.


    Ye Changsheng clenched his teeth. He could feel that the road in front of him was a blur. In terms of experience, he had suffered heatstroke, but he did not want to stop and rest.


    At this moment, a gust of cold wind blew towards him. He turned his head and saw Feng Chen Lang fanning him. He carelessly complained to the people in front, "Hey, hey, hey. Can we rest for a bit? I''m about to collapse from the heat."


    Beijing''s Ji Bai turned around and glanced at him. Very rarely, he didn''t open his mouth to refute him. Instead, he agreed and discussed with Jun Qiyan about finding a good place to stop and replenish his strength.


    Everyone reached a consensus and finally found the cave in a remote place.


    As soon as Jun Qiyan entered, he felt a burst of coolness that was out of place in the outside world. After staying here for a long time, he could even feel a hint of eeriness and chilliness.

 C215

    She frowned and looked around, but she couldn''t find anything out of place. Then she gave up. It was no big deal if she just stayed for a while.


    Just as she was about to eat something to replenish her strength, she glanced over and saw Di Mo Jiu''s solemn expression.


    "As soon as Di Mo walked into the cave, someone sent a message." The Divine Arts Pavilion was ambushed, please come quickly and support us! " This person''s tone was filled with anxiety. His voice sounded familiar, but he was unable to recall his name.


    "Something happened?" Jun Qiyan walked over, feeling a bit helpless when he didn''t say anything. He sighed and said, "If you have anything, just tell me." Don''t be alone. Even though Di Mo Jiu said half of his sentence, but since the two of them already had the same thought, how could Di Mo Jiu not understand?


    "Someone sent me a message saying that something had happened to the Divine Arts Pavilion." Di Mo Jiu said calmly, he could not detect any trace of anxiety from the person involved.


    As he quickly ate, Jun Qiyan was surprised to hear that. "How ¡­" No matter how many years it took for the Divine Arts Pavilion to avoid a sneak attack, coupled with the countless number of powerful people, no one had the guts to do so.


    Wrong... It was not impossible as the recent days had been peaceful and quiet, and many people had neglected the Divine Arts Pavilion. Naturally, there were people who mistakenly thought that it was weak ¡­


    Regardless of which point it was, there was no concrete evidence to support the decision that an incident had occurred in the Divine Arts Pavilion. If it was the enemy who attracted the attention of all sorts of people, then they were fooled.


    After hearing all these speculations from Di Mo Jiu, he decided to go.


    When Jun Qiyan heard this, her expression suddenly turned serious. "I won''t stop you from going, but you must return safely." Don''t ever hurt yourself.


    "Alright." Di Mo Jiu responded with a soft laugh, then suddenly stretched out his hand to rub Jun Qiyan''s head, and quickly left.


    Jing and Ji Bai''s mouth twitched when they accidentally saw each other''s actions. He waited until Jun Qiyan was alone before asking, "Is there an urgent matter?"


    "The Divine Arts Pavilion was ambushed."


    A look of disbelief flashed across his face, but he did not say anything. After resting, the few of them continued their journey.


    Gu Yao was the second one to discover that Di Mo Jiu had disappeared. Jun Qianyan straightforwardly explained the situation to them.


    Feng Chenlang did not conceal his shock at all as he opened his mouth wide, "Ah, who would be so daring?" He actually dared to sneak attack the Divine Arts Pavilion. Truly admirable.


    "Right now, the most important thing for us to do is for the Sword Immortal Sect, don''t think too much about it." Jun Qiyan pursed her lips, and spoke with an awe-inspiring tone, "Hurry up and end this battle as soon as possible."


    Everyone nodded in agreement, and the rate of progress increased significantly.


    ¡ª ¡ª


    "Shh." Ye Changsheng faced Feng Chen Lang, gesturing for him to be quiet.


    The few of them hid in their hiding spots as they observed the area where the Sword Immortal Sect was located. There were people constantly patrolling the area. He patiently seized the opportunity and tried to find a way to break through.


    Jun Qiyan hid in the visual blind corner of the patrol, waiting for the opportunity to make his move, ready to seize it in one fell swoop.


    Three or four people were slowly approaching her. She held her breath and pushed her sense of presence to its weakest point. The Spiritual Energy in her hands slowly solidified. Just as she was about to make a move, a stone smashed into her ear!


    "Who is it!" Hearing the commotion, a few people came over. Jun Qiyan looked up and saw that the person who had exposed her was a teenage girl. Seeing that she had been discovered, the little girl did not panic. Ye Zichen raised the slingshot in his hand, while his face was filled with mockery and provocation.


    Jun Qiyan and the others looked at the little girl with unfriendly eyes.


    The actions of the little girl had obviously alerted the patrolling people.


    The patrolling soldiers quickly discovered the hiding place of Jun Qiyan''s group. In a flash, they had arrived in front of Jun Qiyan''s group, blocking all escape routes.


    Feng Chen Lang''s expression immediately became extremely ugly. Everyone nervously took out the weapons in their storage rings. At this moment, the imperial guards had surrounded them.


    The leader of the group had an identity similar to that of the Guard Captain. He looked at Jun Qianyan and the others with a sharp gaze and had an unfriendly expression as he coldly asked, "Who are you people? "What are you trying to do, sneaking here?"


    Facing the questioning of the other party, Ye Changsheng smiled and said, "All the brothers have already said that we are just passing by."


    Perhaps it was because Ye Changsheng was soft and weak, causing the other party''s vigilance to drop by a bit, but he did not intend on letting go of Jun Qianyan and the others.


    Seeing this, Jun Qianyan also smiled and said, "We were really just passing by, we were planning to leave ¡­"


    As Jun Qiyan spoke, he took out a space-time scroll from his spatial ring, ready to slip away at any moment.


    It wasn''t just his sharp eyes that noticed Jun Qianyan''s actions. He immediately cried out in alarm. "Boss, there''s a problem with these people!"


    Jun Qianyan cursed in her heart as she pulled open the spatial and temporal scrolls.


    His thoughts had already gathered spirit energy as he heavily grabbed towards Jun Qiyan''s shoulder.


    A sharp pain came from Jun Qiyan''s shoulder. Her face turned pale as she twisted her shoulder, causing her opponent to disappear into the space-time scroll.

 C216

    Jun Qiyan''s eyes grew dark. She tried her best to open her eyes, but couldn''t.


    "Hiss ¡ª" She felt a sharp pain on her shoulder. She wanted to scream, but she couldn''t, as if someone had grabbed her by the throat. In a blur, she knew that someone was cleaning and bandaging her wounds, gently and skillfully. Slowly, Jun Qiyan fell asleep once more.


    After an unknown period of time, Jun Qiyan opened her eyes and saw Feng Chen Lang''s large face.


    Feng Chen Lang lowered his eyebrows. When he saw that Jun Qiyan had woken up at some point, he suddenly widened his eyes as if he had been stunned by a terrorist attack. He pointed at her as his voice trembled uncontrollably, "She ¡­ She ¡­ She woke up! "


    Jun Qiyan was upset by the little fool''s argument, and couldn''t help but interrupt him, "Shut up." He was stunned for a moment as he spoke, his voice hoarse and weak, like a dying man searching for water before finally crying out for help.


    How long had she been unconscious for!?


    Jun Qiyan tried moving her body. The bone-piercing pain from her shoulder spread to her limbs and bones; she couldn''t even lift her hand!


    The soreness and coldness on her back was the cement ground, the broken roof over her head, and the wound on her shoulder telling her that she had been wounded by someone from the Sword Spirit Sect. Gu Qiyan glared at Feng Chenlang. Except for a single sentence from him when he woke up, she had not uttered a single word and did not dare to meet his gaze. Could it be that he had turned ugly after a fight? What had he done?


    Just as he was thinking this, Jun Qiyan sensed a few people. From the sound of their footsteps, she was able to determine that they were none other than Jing and Ji Bai.


    Just as they were a few steps away from Jun Qianyan, they suddenly stopped. It was only after a long while that one of them walked over.


    Ye Changsheng slowly avoided the wound on her shoulder, carefully allowing Jun Qiyan to sit up.


    Lying there, she didn''t notice anything strange. When she saw everyone''s expressions, she realized that they were unable to finish their words. The three people in front of him wanted to say something but hesitated. They no longer had their usual carefree appearance, and what replaced them was solemnity and awkwardness.


    "You all ¡­" She forgot that her throat was dry and retched a few times, drinking the water that Ye Changsheng brought to her lips. The water was cool and refreshing. In the hot weather, it was much better to drink a cup.


    "What''s wrong?" She, Jun Qiyan, had been severely injured, but still calmly opened her mouth and spoke.


    The three people in front looked at each other, and Jun Qiyan suddenly thought of something.


    If the wound was on his shoulder, wouldn''t that mean ¡­


    The first person she thought of was Ye Changsheng, but was immediately denied. It was impossible. Ye Changsheng had always been strict with his words and had always kept his words to himself. If this was not his way of doing things, then he could only be discovered while treating his wounds.


    Sure enough, Feng Chenlang couldn''t hold it in any longer and asked, "Who are you?"


    He had always felt uncomfortable being fooled by people he trusted. All this time, Jun Qianyan had been using a fake identity towards them. Although he was somewhat angry at them, this problem had always been lingering in his heart.


    Sooner or later, there would come a day when Jun Qi would be the dye, but she had never thought that something like this would happen so suddenly. She thought for a moment, then coldly said, "I''m the young miss of the Eastern Kingdom''s Four Great Families."


    Feng Chenlang looked as if he had seen a ghost, "Miss Jun, this is rumored to be ¡­"


    Jun Qiyan completed the last two words for him, "Waste of time."


    At this time, Beijing''s Ji Bai was thinking calmly, "The rumored always-in-the-bag Miss Jun, a trash that only appears once in a hundred years, what an interesting story."


    At this time, Gu Yao couldn''t sit still any longer. He tightened his face and stared at Jun Qianyan, his voice somewhat cold. It was obvious that he was displeased at being cheated.


    "Is it interesting that you''re hiding this from everyone? To think that I would go out of my way to treat you as a brother, you ¡­" He stopped talking halfway through his sentence and turned his head away from Jun Qiyan.


    Knowing that the crowd was treating her well, Jun Qianyan knew that she was in the wrong. She lowered her head and said with a slightly apologetic tone,


    "Sorry, I shouldn''t be hiding this from everyone."


    Xu Shi didn''t expect Jun Qiyan to apologize. Feng Chenlang appeared to be at a loss as he waved his hand to indicate that he didn''t mind. Gu Yao and Ji Bai remained silent, but they didn''t pursue the matter.


    On the other hand, Ye Changsheng behind her, upon seeing her words filled with guilt, said, "I should have stopped them. After all, it''s best if you hide your gender."


    Jun Qiyan shook his head, afraid that he might hurt his wound. He didn''t seem to mind at all. "We''ll find out sooner or later. It''s good that they''ve accepted this result."


    Moreover, after speaking honestly to others, Jun Qiyan''s eyes couldn''t help but darken. This was indeed something that he had done inappropriately. Trust was the most fundamental thing between people, and yet he hadn''t told her the truth about his identity.


    Thinking of this, Jun Qiyan took a deep breath and formally said.


    "I''m sorry, let me formally introduce my identity, I am the young miss of Jun Qiyan Jun Family ¡­" "The legendary ten thousand year old trash."


    Jun Qiyan''s voice actually paused for a moment, as she looked at the four children in front of her.


    There was a trace of apology in his eyes.


    Feng Chenlang and the rest could no longer afford to retort. As expected, they did not believe the rumors; this girl was a trash. If he was a trash, how could they still live? There were no geniuses left in the world.


    At this moment, Jun Qianyan didn''t know what was going on in her mind. She continued to speak, "Besides, this isn''t my true appearance ¡­"


    As soon as Jun Qianyan finished speaking, the few of them had a strange premonition that this little girl would be able to give them a new surprise.


    After Jun Qiyan finished his words, he looked for a basin of water, tore off the mask at the base of his ears, and washed his face clean.


    An extremely beautiful face was exposed in the air, and even Ye Changsheng, who had always been calm, was frozen in place.


    It wasn''t that he didn''t know that this little girl was a girl, but the scene before his eyes had still provoked him.


    His bright eyes shone with a strange light, his small nose was slightly erect, and his full lips were full of grace and grace. Even if he had a rare beauty, she wouldn''t be able to describe him.


    Jun Qiyan lightly shook her lips as she felt a bit embarrassed when she saw the four of them sizing her up.


    He really wasn''t suitable for his face ¡­


    Feng Chenlang was the first to react. She swallowed his saliva before stammering, "I say, big brother, you''re too dishonest ¡­"


    He was halfway through his words when he was interrupted by Jing and Ji Bai.


    Jing Ji Bai slapped Feng Chenlang''s shoulder, raised his eyebrows and said with a hint of teasing, "You''re still calling me brother, I''m obviously a girl."


    Feng Chen Lang finally reacted after Jing Ji Bai''s reminder, he scratched his head awkwardly.


    "A slip of the tongue ¡­"


    Gu Yao looked at the person in front of him. His feelings were extremely complicated.


    This fellow was a woman?!


    The sage said that only women and petty people could not be raised.


    He was saying why this brat was so annoying!


    Jun Qiyan straightened his expression and said apologetically, "I''m sorry, I was the one who hid it from you."


    Feng Chenlang waved his hand and said magnanimously: "It''s alright, we are good brothers after all."


    A look of gratitude appeared on Jun Qiyan''s face.


    Gu Yao curled his lips in disapproval, "If you''re in the mood to discuss this, why don''t you consider us first? What should we do?"


    Speaking of proper business, everyone''s expressions immediately became heavy. One had to admit that the Sword Spirit Sect was indeed worthy of being one of the top gangs. The security was indeed tight.


    The few of them discussed for a while, and based on the lessons learned from the previous battle, they once again discussed a complete set of battle plan.


    "Hurry up and follow." The capital''s Ji Bai stretched his head out to look at the several disciples of the Sword Spirit Sect who were shopping on the streets. If the disciples of the Sword Spirit Sect had completed a large amount of training that day, they would have a set time to go out and buy things as well as to play. This rule of theirs perfectly fulfilled their plan.


    Jun Qiyan walked over to greet them. "Young master, do you have time to drink tea with this little girl?" She was laughing with her eyes and teeth shining, and her eyes were filled with charm. Looking at her appearance, perhaps even a heartless person would look at her for a bit.


    At that time, Feng Chenlang had even said that she was rumored to be extremely ugly and had a heartbroken and pained expression. He vowed that he would never listen to books ever again.


    Those who had seen such beauty before immediately agreed to follow behind Jun Qiyan.


    They turned into a corner and only then did they realize what had happened. Looking at her alone in the corner, evil thoughts welled up in their hearts, "Miss ¡­ What are you really doing? "


    Jun Qiyan bashfully smiled and said gently, "Of course I know ¡­ Otherwise, how would I be able to come alone? "


    People from the Sword Spirit Sect usually ate coarse food and had few desires, so how could they bear such naked hints? They smiled evilly as they approached.


    Who would have thought that the moment they moved, Jun Qiyan''s smile would become even more beautiful, and in that instant, an enormous wave of spirit energy surged towards them! His vision turned dark, and he felt a huge pressure pushing against his back, causing him to lose consciousness.


    When Jing and Ji Bai walked in, they all took off their clothes and put them on their bodies ¡­


    Jun Qiyan smiled as she looked at the clothes worn by her, Feng Chenlang, and the others, preparing to sneak into the Sword Spirit Sect.


    Ji Bai stopped in his tracks as if she had thought of something. She hurriedly turned around and asked Jun Qiyan, "Are you sure you want to sneak in like this?"


    Jun Qiyan blanked out for a moment as he didn''t quite understand what was going on.


    The capital''s Ji Bai couldn''t help but point his forehead towards Jun Qiyan''s face. Only then did Jun Qiyan react and awkwardly smiled. After several people had covered up their appearances, they snuck into the Sword Spirit Sect.

 C217

    Jun Qiyan, Feng Chenlang, and the others went to a corner and began assigning missions.


    "I will go and see what exactly is going on with the Taotie." Jun Qiyan slowly said as she looked at the people in front of her.


    There was a resonance between the Octadic Great Snake and the Taotie. The place where she was going to imprison the Taotie had never happened before.


    Ji Bai frowned, disagreeing with Jun Qiyan''s words.


    "No, it''s too dangerous."


    He rejected Jun Qiyan''s proposal completely with a single sentence.


    Feng Chenlang also agreed with Jing and Ji Bai''s point of view. They had all witnessed the harm done by a Taotie.


    "Second Brother Jing is right. You''re a girl, you''re not fit to go to such a dangerous place."


    After Jun Qiyan had revealed his identity as the ''younger sister'', the crowd unconsciously brought him into the ''protection'' area.


    In the hearts of Feng Chenlang and the rest, they had to protect her.


    On the other hand, Gu Yao snorted disdainfully, saying in a strange tone, "Heh, sis? "She can also be considered a girl. Tell me from the bottom of your heart, how is he weak?"


    The surroundings immediately became awkward. Ye Changsheng appeared in real time to smooth things over and said, "Xiao Xi cannot help but be in danger while he has the Octadic Great Serpent''s protection. On the other hand, even if the few of us work together, we might not necessarily be able to subdue the Taotie."


    Ye Changsheng''s words caused the surroundings to fall into silence. The appearance of the Octadic Great Snake was truly shocking.


    Jun Qiyan nodded, indicating that he agreed with Ye Changsheng''s words.


    The others didn''t say anything after seeing this.


    Feng Chenlang pursed his lips and said, "Be careful, be careful."


    Jun Qiyan smiled and nodded.


    After the few of them dispersed, Jun Qiyan took a deep breath and looked all around to find the whereabouts of this Taotie.


    Suddenly, Jun Qianyan''s eyes lit up. She walked to the side of an ordinary-looking man, smiled, and patted his shoulder. "Brother, you''re going to feed the Taotie, right?"


    That person was stunned. He looked at Jun Qianyan in confusion, and asked, "How did you know?"


    Jun Qiyan secretly curled her lips and looked at the basket in the man''s hand without leaving a trace behind.


    Surprisingly, there were two types of typing on it: Taotie.


    It was hard for her to not pay attention to this!


    "Ao, the elder asked me to come over. He said that he wants me to feed the Taotie today." Jun Qiyan''s expression didn''t change in the slightest as he spoke. It wasn''t obvious that he was feeling guilty about lying in the slightest.


    Joy immediately appeared on the man''s face, and he asked back with a trace of excitement, "Are you speaking the truth? Elder, do you really not need me to feed the Taotie? "


    Jun Qiyan nodded, wishing that the other party could leave as soon as possible, while she herself approached the Taotie in a righteous manner.


    Seeing that Jun Qiyan had admitted to it, the man didn''t say anything else and stuffed the basket in his hands into the arms of Jun Qianyan, as if he was afraid that she would regret it.


    Jun Qiyan also did not expect that he would succeed so easily. He did not know the reason behind the man''s escape.


    Perhaps it was because the situation had progressed too smoothly that Jun Qiyan was in a much better mood.


    Arriving at the dungeon where the Taotie was imprisoned, Jun Qiyan slowly walked in.


    The guards'' positions could be described as inner and outer layers. Jun Qianyan had finally reached the center with much difficulty, but he discovered that there was no one guarding the center.


    She frowned for a moment as a bad premonition rose in her heart.


    At the beginning of time, the Octopus Snake opened its mouth and said: "Taotie is born with the disposition to be bloodthirsty and also likes to eat. If it was a guard here, I''m afraid not a single one would be eaten by the Taotie."


    The words of the Octadic Snake caused Jun Qianyan to be stunned. At this moment, she seemed to understand why the person before her had pushed the task towards her in such a hurry ¡­


    How is this complete... Was it simply suicide ¡­


    Thinking up to here, Jun Qiyan became even more nervous, as if the Octadic Snake had felt his nervousness. He comforted, "Don''t worry, you have the aura of your lord. The Taotie won''t harm you."


    After he finished speaking, Jun Qiyan''s tense nerves finally relaxed a little.


    With a strange mood, Jun Qiyan gradually approached the cage that held the Taotie.


    One must know that the battle between the Baji Snake and the Taotie was truly a shadow in Jun Qiyan''s heart.


    She swallowed her saliva as she slowly approached, but the scene in front of her left her frozen in place.


    The colossus in his imagination did not appear, but instead, a little milk dog appeared in front of him.


    His face was not even half the size of Jun Qiyan''s arm, and in a short period of time, it had become colorful.


    Who could tell her what this thing was?!


    What about the overbearing Taotie fierce beasts?


    What happened to the man-eating monster that was said to be able to kill in every direction?


    She absolutely did not believe that the little milk dog in front of her was a Taotie!


    "What is this?"


    Jun Qiyan asked the Octadic Snake through his spiritual sense.


    The Octadic Snake''s expression was complicated as he looked at the little milk dog in front of him. He also seemed unwilling to admit that this was the thing that had seriously injured him. However, she still obediently said to Jun Qianyan, "He is the Taotie."


    Jun Qiyan pursed her lips, finally accepting the reality with great difficulty.


    "What happened to him?" Jun Qiyan couldn''t help but ask again.


    Jun Qiyan couldn''t be blamed for this. If it was anyone else, they would not have been able to link this small lump with the Octadic Snake. This was simply a joke!


    "If my guess is correct, he should be hungry."


    The Octadic Snake said softly.


    Jun Qiyan frowned as if he understood the reason behind this. It was said that Taotie loved to eat. It was rumored that Taotie had once devoured an entire city during the Great War of Gods and Demons.


    It was also because of this that people had completely put the Taotie into the ranks of the "Vicious Beasts".


    At this moment, the feelings of the Octadic Snake was extremely complicated. One must know that when he fought with the Taotie back then, it could have been a true massacre in all four directions. Who would have thought that the divine beast of the past would end up like this!


    Jun Qiyan pursed her lips, and only after confirming with the Octadic Snake that she would not be eaten did she slowly approach the Taotie.


    She carefully threw the basket into the cage.


    The Taotie, who was originally lying on the ground, lifted her eyes listlessly. Her eyes lit up when she saw the food, and she quickly ran over and swallowed the basket and all the food.


    Following that, he smacked his lips, as if he was unsatisfied.


    Jun Qiyan couldn''t help but smile when he saw Tao Tie''s adorable appearance.


    The Taotie also seemed to have noticed the existence of Jun Qiyan. Her eyes lit up. In the eyes of the Taotie, there was no such thing as'' human beings cannot eat ''. In his eyes, everything was food.


    However, when Tao Tie stared at Jun Qiyan for a full minute and didn''t see that this weak human had an expression similar to fear, Tao Tao became somewhat depressed.


    How could this human not be afraid of him?! Was he not fierce enough?


    Thinking of this conclusion, Tao Tie became restless. He could not help but be the first to speak: "Human! Aren''t you afraid of me? "


    She shrugged and said, "You can''t get out, so why should I be afraid of you?"


    The Taotie was stunned by Jun Qiyan''s words, but soon after, it looked at her with a bit of anger. The surrounding air also changed, and the little pup turned into a few months old child.


    Jun Qiyan''s pupils dilated, but he wasn''t too surprised.


    After all, since the Octopus Snake had done something similar, Jun Qianyan also felt that it was within its normal range.


    "Woman, you, don''t you have anything to eat?"


    The air was silent for a moment, then the aggrieved voice of the Taotie sounded out. Jun Qiyan was stunned, then she threw the few medicinal plants in her Spatial Ring into the cage of the Taotie.


    In the blink of an eye, the medicinal plants had disappeared without a trace. Looking at the pitiful gaze of the Taotie, Jun Qiyan''s heart softened. She resisted the urge to throw a few herbs in her storage ring as she inwardly cursed the Sword Spirit Sect''s ruthlessness.


    How could he let such a cute child starve!


    This lady had apparently forgotten that the person in front of her was not a child!


    It was the ancient beast Taotie.


    Jun Qiyan squatted beside the cage, looking at the tiny person in the cage with a dark and gloomy expression on her face.


    The gigantic cage was shockingly large, and thick and sturdy iron chains tied up all of the Taotie''s four limbs.


    The small man was in stark contrast to the thick chain.


    Jun Qiyan''s expression turned dark as she slowly asked, "Are you unable to leave?"


    The expression on Tao Tie''s face clearly dimmed a bit, and then he said with grievance: "I''ve been here for thousands of years ¡­" The people here are all bad people, wuu, they won''t give me food.


    As it spoke, the Taotie began to snot and tear up. It looked as if it had suffered a huge grievance.


    Seeing this beast that didn''t even want its morals in order to eat, he helplessly lifted his hand to his forehead. She definitely wouldn''t admit that she knew this fellow!


    The Baji Snake secretly despised Taotie in its heart.


    However, he did not realize that there was anything wrong with his actions. He even took a few steps forward, grabbed Jun Qiyan''s pants, and said, "Elder sister, can you take me with you ¡­" Wu wu wu ¡­ I''m very obedient and eat very little. "


    Jun Qiyan: "¡­"


    Brother, are you joking?


    If he said something like ''eat less'', wouldn''t his conscience hurt?


    The Taotie ate less. If these words were said out, it was likely that it would laugh out a group of people''s big teeth.


    The Octadic Snake couldn''t help but cover its face as it looked at the shameless one in front of it.


    Jun Qiyan blinked as if she was considering the other party''s suggestion. Seeing that the other party wanted to adopt her, the Taotie quickly patted her chest and said, "Furthermore, I can warm the bed!"


    Even Jun Qiyan suspected that the Taotie was actually one of the legendary vicious beasts that massacred everything in its path. Could it be that this fellow was being replaced by someone else?!


    "Warm the bed huh ¡­" Jun Qiyan rubbed her chin, then said with a smile, "You''re too young, and I don''t have a paedophilia."


    Jun Qiyan said in all seriousness. Black lines immediately appeared on the head of the Baji Snake. This woman''s skin was really itchy. If the Demon Lord heard this, then he would definitely skin her.


    When the Taotie heard this, she hurriedly said, "I ¡­ I can grow up now. As long as you give me food, I can grow up!"


    Jun Qiyan raised her eyebrows as she looked at the Tao Tie''s urgent appearance and slightly raised her voice. She asked, "Oh?"


    When the Taotie saw this, it hastily shook its body and changed. The originally small infant had now become an adult male. The Taotie''s person was different from any other man that it had ever seen before.


    Di Mo Jiu was a domineering, cold, reserved and noble man.


    Yan Ruyu had a vile and venomous tongue and a black tongue.


    However, the man in front of him revealed a domineering and arrogant aura.


    Jun Qiyan was secretly speechless, as expected, good-looking people only played with good-looking people!


    This face was exactly the same as the face of the Baji Snake!


    Unfortunately, the Taotie admitted to not being able to maintain its state for a long time before turning into a baby. He somewhat embarrassedly stuck out his tongue and continued: "I haven''t eaten for a long time, my energy can only be maintained for that long ¡­"


    Jun Qiyan thoughtfully nodded, as if he had thought of something.


    "But I can''t seem to get you out." Jun Qianyan pretended to be extremely vexed as he looked at the cage that contained the Taotie and the four iron chains on his four limbs, and spoke with a troubled expression.


    The Octadic Snake frowned, and his heart thumped.


    A bad idea rose in his heart. Could it be that this guy wanted to ¡­


    The Taotie''s mind was clearly not as meticulous as that of the Octadic Snake. When it heard that Jun Qiyan wanted to adopt it, its mouth almost reached its ears.


    Seeing how the Taotie sold him and was still replacing the amount of money it had, the Octadic Snake immediately gnashed his teeth in anger. Had this guy been hungry enough to eat his own IQ for the past tens of thousands of years?! Did he not see that this woman was scheming against him?!


    "Master!" Don''t be afraid, I have a way! " Tao Tie seemed to want to take credit and said: "The two of us can sign a contract! "At that time, you can summon me at any time, and I will be able to leave this cage."


    After he finished speaking, the corner of Jun Qiyan''s mouth hooked up into an imperceptible smile, but the Baji Snake had actually witnessed everything with its own eyes.


    This was clearly the smile of someone who had succeeded in his conspiracy!


    The Octadic Snake roared in his heart, ''Wouldn''t this woman be in pain doing this kind of thing to her conscience?!''


    Was there really no guilt in deceiving such a cute and stupid magical beast?


    The answer was no, otherwise this woman wouldn''t still be acting good even now.


    Even after the two of them had made a contract, Jun Qiyan still acted as if she was taking advantage of him even though he had suffered a huge loss.

 C218

    After placing the Taotie into her own hands, Jun Qiqi could be said to have let out a long sigh as the smile on the corner of her mouth became even more pronounced ¡­


    "Mo Jiu, ah Mo Jiu, I''ve helped you once again." Jun Qiqi muttered to herself for a while, but then she saw Feng Chenlang and co. running over in a hurry, and her complexion wasn''t too good.


    "To think that I would be able to meet all of you here, I am truly fortunate ¡­" Jun Qiqi also noticed that all of their complexions did not look very good, and hurriedly asked, "What happened? Why are all of you looking like this? "


    Ye Changsheng''s face was rather pale. After all, his physique was not very good, and he had gone through so many things, so his current expression was naturally not too good. The usually simple and honest Feng Chenlang''s complexion had already become ashen.


    "It''s really true. Qi Qi, let me tell you, we''ve seen an incredible thing!" Feng Chenlang panted. From the looks of it, he was not dead tired.


    A trace of unease rose in Jun Qiqi''s heart. Her feelings must have met with some great trouble to have caused such a group of men to panic ¡­


    "We found the laboratory!" Feng Chenlang said with difficulty.


    Jun Qiqi was even more at a loss. She didn''t know what kind of thing had caused them to panic like this.


    "We''ve found something that can''t be exposed to the light ¡­" Ye Changsheng spoke with great difficulty. Drops of sweat dripped from his forehead. It was clear that he had encountered something that would scare others.


    This time, Jun Qiqi was even more uncertain. To be able to make these people panic like this, there definitely wouldn''t be any good things.


    Even though he had prepared for this, he was still a bit uncertain.


    Beijing''s Ji Bai swallowed his saliva and said slowly, "We''ve found a place to conduct human experiments ¡­" "I got this information from a single person in the Sword Spirit Sect ¡­"


    "Human experiment?" At this point, Jun Qiqi was truly in a mess. She had no idea what this meant at all.


    "We don''t know the exact situation. If it''s possible, then come with us to take a look." Ye Changsheng hesitated for a moment. He felt that the human experiment mentioned in that person''s mouth would definitely not be simple.


    "Alright, let''s go take a look." Jun Qiqi knew that the situation wasn''t looking good, but she still asked, "What did you encounter?"


    Ye Changsheng frowned. "We met two people, who were probably turned into puppets by someone. Their battle power wasn''t too high, but they weren''t afraid of death, nor did they feel any pain. They kept on attacking us, and if it wasn''t for Beijing''s Ji Bai discovering that there was someone controlling us from behind the scenes, we''d probably still be tangled with those two fellows ¡­"


    Jun Qiqi frowned. "You two, hurry up and take me to see what kind of evil magic it is that made a person into a puppet."


    Since ancient times, there had been countless evil secret techniques. Jun Qiqi had also seen some techniques that could refine humans into puppets, but those were not accepted by the mainstream and decent, and they were similarly evil to the extreme.


    Feng Chen Lang let out a sigh: "Come with me. I have a rough idea of where that guy was talking about. After all, when I passed by earlier, I remembered his location."


    Jun Qiqi silently nodded her head and then looked outside the entrance of the Sword Spirit Sect. The sky was slightly bright, but thick clouds covered the sky.


    It seemed as if a heavy rain was about to fall. At this moment, a strong wind blew, and a storm was about to break out on the mountain peak where the Sword Spirit Sect was.


    After more than two hours of trekking along with them, and with his constant efforts to determine directions, Feng Chen Lang finally found a concealed cave. This cave was located on the back slope of the mountain, and the two sides of the mountain were connected continuously.


    Therefore, this cave looked even more sinister and terrifying. Above the cave was a strange mountain slope formed by huge rocks. A few human bones were scattered on top of the mountain, so it was possible that there were demon beast bones inside.


    The wind was blowing fiercely, and the light seemed to want to penetrate the clouds and shine on this cold place.


    Jun Qiqi stood in this gloomy and cold place, and as she looked at the pitch-black cave, she inexplicably felt a chill that pierced the depths of her heart.


    It was as if he had an uncontrollable fear of this place.


    "This is the so-called place for human experiments?" Jun Qiqi''s voice had already turned cold.


    Feng Chen Lang stretched his neck and looked around: "I''m not too sure either. Let me take a look first, I feel that this place is quite eerie. If someone were to leave this place, it would definitely cause trouble even if they weren''t foolish."


    "There''s no need to be sure. There are a lot of footprints at the entrance of the cave, so this must be it. But if this is a useful place, then why is there no one guarding this place?" Jun Qiqi frowned, but just as she finished speaking, she saw a man in white clothes sitting on a stone on top of the cave.


    Sitting cross-legged, it was almost the same as the pile of white bones and mountain behind him.


    Be careful!"


    Jun Qiqi had also noticed the strange man who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere and directly sat down from where no one could see him. This meant that this man was the guard of the cave, and he had just been sleeping on top of the stone.


    In front of him was a zither. Other than the zither threads, the rest of the zither were made of bone. However, this person''s eyes were relatively small, and the slightly squinting eyes looked like tiny loaches.


    Jun Qiqi took a deep breath, but before she could do so, Jing and Bai, who were standing beside her, made their move. Jun Qiqi took a deep breath, but before she could make her move, Jing and Ji Bai, who were standing beside her, made their move.


    In front of the gray-haired man, long and thin beams of light suddenly appeared. These light rays were like water stains, blending with the air completely. There was an outline, but it was intangible.


    A few rays of light collided with the palm of light, and the Spiritual Energy spread out in all directions like a tidal wave. The trees in the surroundings swayed at the same time, as if attracted by this aura but also affected by the Spiritual Energy.


    "Back off!" Jing and Ji Bai shouted in anger.


    This group of people had a tacit understanding with each other, so in the instant they retreated, Ye Changsheng had already used his spiritual power. As he lowered his head and muttered to himself, a powerful hand image fell from above.


    It was obviously made of wood.


    The Bright Great Palm Seal clashed with the invisible figure of light for a while longer, and then a few more figures appeared in a flash.

 C219

    "Ding ding ding!" The melodious sound of the zither instantly rang out. Compared to the silent movements from before, this move was now even more incisive.


    The sound of the zither rang out, and the killing intent of the heaven and earth suddenly rose. Formless waves emanated from the mysterious man''s zither, as if a chilling aura that originated from heaven and earth quietly arose. Ye Changsheng''s green hand blocked the next attack at first glance, but the sound of the zither continued to ring out.


    The sharp Zither Saint was like many sharp blades. Not only did he shatter the hand of light, but he also shattered the hand.


    "Sword!" This time, he did not have to face an enemy weaker than himself, but he had never been afraid. Learning the sword was like stepping into the future, the path of the sword was the same as the heart.


    This was his Sword Truth, Feng Chenlang''s Sword Truth.


    A dense sword intent instantly burst out from the white sword. In addition to the sword intent, there was also the sword intent. Only by fully comprehending the sword intent would one be able to understand what a sword was.


    Someone once asked Feng Chenlang, why did he always strike without hesitation? Not caring about his own life?


    Feng Chen Lang only replied: "My friend is right behind me, I have no reason not to use my sword."


    Along with the sword aura and sword intent, waves could be seen with the naked eye. The trees in the surroundings swayed even more, and in front of Feng Chen Lang, there were actually many frightening and very deep ravines. Each of these ravines were at least half a foot deep.


    "Me too!" Gu Yao roared.


    A lone rhinoceros appeared behind him. This rhinoceros was clearly materialized from spirit energy. However, most of the seemingly similar single-horned rhinoceroses still possessed a strong resemblance. This meant that the single-horned rhinoceroses already possessed the necessary conditions to form a spirit beast.


    After the single-horned rhinoceros was formed, a violent aura instantly formed. Right after Feng Chen''s Wave Sword was formed, Gu Yao rushed forward without a care for anything else.


    His aura was still as astonishing as before.


    When Jun Qiqi saw this, she didn''t hesitate at all. After pulling apart a distance, she took out her Ice Sealing Sword. Facing the zither music of the heaven and earth, she didn''t dare to be the slightest bit careless.


    Two people charged forward, while the other three people attacked from the back. This method was actually quite good.


    The ice lotuses were formed one by one. Just as they were about to go all out, the white-haired man looked at the blooming ice lotuses and muttered, "Ice lotuses?"


    After that, the white-haired man quickly put away the bone guqin, but before he put it away, he had already launched an even more powerful attack. Everyone hurriedly faced this kind of attack, and when they recovered, they discovered that the white-haired man had already disappeared as if he had never appeared.


    "He''s gone?" Jun Qiqi obviously didn''t believe this.


    He really did not understand what was going on before this mysterious man left.


    The sword in Feng Chenlang''s hand trembled slightly, unable to restrain his trembling.


    "Since you''re already gone, let''s go in and take a look?" Beijing''s Ji Bai was the first to react. After releasing his Spiritual Qi to check for a while, he was sure that he had left.


    Jun Qiqi was silent for a moment. "Then let''s go in."


    Everyone nodded. Since there was no other way out, they might as well go in and see what that enticing experimental subject was.


    Gu Yao kept the single-horned rhinoceros and said solemnly: "This time, I''ll walk in front."


    After which, Gu Yao walked to the front. At this moment, the dark clouds in the sky were even more gloomy, as though they were warning the crowd not to enter.


    The moment Gu Yao stepped into the cave, he said, "There''s the smell of blood inside!"


    Jun Qiqi silently nodded because she could also feel the thick smell of blood coming from inside her body.


    There really seemed to be an unspeakable secret inside the cave.


    Extreme human bones were placed at the entrance of the cave.


    "There shouldn''t be any ferocious beasts here that specialize in eating humans, right?" Feng Chenlang muttered.


    Jun Qiqi said in a low voice, "That''s a possibility."


    No one dared to speak. After all, it would be good for them not to say anything in this situation.


    Gu Yao''s muscular body carefully made its way inside, because as soon as he entered, he saw many bones lying on the ground. No matter how ambitious a person was, he wouldn''t be able to bear it.


    AHH ¡­." "There was a faint sound of pain coming from the cave.


    This kind of shout, when heard by everyone, made it even more sinister and unknown.


    "Be careful. I can still feel a strong Spiritual Energy fluctuation inside. However, it is only leaking out a tiny bit. It should be sealed by some formation." There were also traces of seriousness on the face of Beijing''s Ji Bai.


    When he said that, Gu Yao panicked a little. That mysterious man from before could already be said to have killed with his zither, but he suddenly ran away and had no idea what was going on.


    Could it be that there was some terrifying demon beast inside that even he had to run away?


    "How about, Feng Chenlang, you walk forward. Your sword should be more effective." Gu Yao forced a smile.


    Feng Chenlang, on the other hand, looked at Gu Yao with disdain: "Big sister Qi Qi is still here. With just this little courage of yours, you really have the nerve to do so."


    As he finished speaking, Feng Chenlang did indeed walk in front of him with a long sword in his hand, taking Gu Yao''s place.


    Everyone wanted to laugh, but they were too embarrassed to. In addition, the atmosphere here made it hard for them to laugh.


    The cave was strange, and human bones could be seen everywhere, as well as the faint sounds of people shouting.


    A very depressing environment.


    After walking for about half an incense stick of time, Feng Chen Lang suddenly shouted: "There''s someone ahead!"


    Jun Qiqi''s pupils constricted. "Be careful, there might be an array formation over there!"


    Beijing''s Ji Bai also nodded approvingly.


    Jun Qiqi took two steps forward, and finally saw a person who was tied up by four iron chains. His blood-stained and messy hair was casually scattered about.


    The man seemed to have fallen into a coma. However, his body was covered with blood, resulting in him being subjected to inhuman abuse.


    "What happened to him?" Jun Qiqi carefully looked at that person, her heart was filled with doubt, "Could it be that this is a prison?"


    "No!" At this moment, Ye Changsheng opened his mouth and pointed to a corner that no one else had noticed, "Where is there a Calm Spirit Rune? Moreover, there''s a strong smell of medicine mixed with the blood, and what you guys saw ¡­"


    Ye Changsheng did not continue.


    Everyone vaguely guessed the answer.


    "Let me take a look." After a moment of hesitation, Ye Changsheng finally chose to step forward.


    Jun Qiqi and a few others followed silently behind him.


    Suddenly, Ye Changsheng began to talk to himself in a corner, his face growing more and more unsightly.


    Everyone could only look at each other in dismay.


    After a long while, Ye Changsheng turned his head and looked at the crowd. He said slowly, "This is indeed the experimental ground."


    ''Dig out the spiritual root and insert it into a person''s body that has a stronger physical body. From there, it will become a puppet ¡­ ''


    CHAPTER 220 EXPERIMENTAL FIELD


    When everyone heard this, their faces immediately revealed expressions of disbelief.


    What did Ye Changsheng just say?


    Dig out the spiritual roots of talented people, put them into the body of the more forceful people, and control their nerve consciousness to become his puppet.


    Everyone was stunned on the spot. For a moment, they could not digest this huge piece of information.


    None of them had thought that the Sword Spirit Sect, such a great sect, would actually do such a dirty thing behind the scenes.


    One had to know that this was a forbidden technique!


    Jun Qiyan''s face paled as she exchanged a glance with the others and continued to walk forward.


    Everything in front of them exceeded their expectations. There was more than one corpse and a huge laboratory appeared in front of them.


    Over a hundred strong men''s bodies were hanging on the wall. Under their feet were countless medicine jars, and their bodies were filled with countless tubes.


    There were many things on the table, all of them colorful, like tree seedlings.


    Some were big and some were small.


    Jun Qianyan and the others were all in a terrible mood. Those things were the spiritual roots of cultivators, and strong and sturdy spiritual roots signified one''s innate talent.


    Jun Qiyan narrowed her eyes and looked at the test article on the wall. Most of them were semi-finished products, and Jun Qiyan could not believe that such a technique was possible.


    At that time, the Eastern Xuan Continent would no longer be a place where humans live.


    Feng Chenlang could not help but be frightened by the scene in front of his. Unable to hold back, she cursed out loud, "F * ck! This group of bastards will see that I won''t kill them! "


    Feng Chenlang pulled out the long sword in his hand, his face red. He wanted to rush out of the laboratory and kill the elders of the Sword Spirit Sect.


    Seeing this, Jun Qianyan angrily shouted, "Come back!"


    Feng Chenlang''s eyes were filled with tears as he stopped in his tracks. Jun Qianyan''s heart trembled violently, and she closed his eyes as he spoke in an outrageously cold tone, "What''s the point of you going out now? Can you destroy the entire Sword Spirit Sect?! Or do you want us to become part of the wall? "


    Feng Chenlang went silent as he faced Jun Qianyan''s repeated questions.


    He gripped the hilt of his sword tightly with both of his hands. His eyes were bloodshot.


    "Brother Lang ¡­" A voice that was so faint that it could not be seen resounded in the quiet and strange laboratory.


    This familiar voice caused Feng Chen Lang to shudder.


    She raised her head and hurriedly searched for the source of the voice. Finally, she locked onto a small and thin figure on the wall.


    Feng Chenlang recognized that person. He was none other than the junior brother that he knew a month ago.


    He still remembered the first time he saw her. The young man''s family wasn''t well off to be able to come to Kanas Academy, and they had to rely entirely on their strength.


    He still remembered the first time he saw Yang Chen, his shabby clothes couldn''t stop the youth''s sunny smile.


    The feeling that Yang Chen gave Feng Chenlang was one of positive, as though nothing could defeat him like this youngster.


    "Why did you come to Tanas Academy?"


    "Because I want to become stronger and take care of my mother and sister!"


    "Brother Lang, you''re so awesome. When can I become a person like you!"


    "Brother Lang ¡­"


    Actually, the interaction between them was still fresh in his mind. Yang Chen was one of the people who disappeared.


    Feng Chenlang had always thought that she was going back to visit his mother and sister, but who would''ve thought ¡­


    Who would have thought that the Sword Spirit Sect would capture him here and use him as a human experiment!


    The eyes of the man in front of him were all dark and gloomy. The light from his past had long vanished under the inhumane torture.


    It was as if Yang Chen was using his life''s worth of strength to say to Feng Chen Lang: "Lang ¡­" Brother Lang... Give me a quick death... "I''m begging you ¡­"


    When the familiar voice called out, Feng Chenlang''s nose twitched and his eyes turned blood-red as he shouted at the person on the wall, "If you dare to say another word, I''ll ¡­"


    Feng Chen Lang originally wanted to say, "If you dare to say another word, I''ll beat you to death."


    However, he could not say the word ''dead'' no matter how hard he tried.


    Jun Qiyan''s eyes also filled with tears. The people on the walls were all familiar faces to him, and although he had never interacted with them before, he knew that they were students from Tanas Academy.


    "Don''t worry, I''ll definitely get you out alive ¡­"


    Feng Chenlang wiped his tears as he said solemnly.


    "Brother Lang ¡­" There is no point in me living now. "


    Yang Chen said weakly, his face ashen.


    Only now did Feng Chenlang notice that a huge bloody hole had long appeared in Yang Chen''s abdomen. The spirit root inside had already disappeared without a trace. How could the Sword Spirit Sect let go of an extremely talented seedling like Yang Chen?


    Feng Chen Lang hugged his head in pain and couldn''t help but cry out.


    At this moment, Jing Ji Bai''s expression was also very ugly. He only remembered this child called Yang Chen. In these past few days, this child had always been Feng Chenlang''s follower.


    The killing intent in his eyes flashed. Sword Spirit Sect... Sooner or later, he would make them pay!


    Even the normally good-natured Ye Changsheng was now so angry that his shoulders were trembling.


    The violent temper of Gu Yao had long since shattered the bottles in the laboratory.


    Jun Qiyan had never seen a Feng Chen Lang like this before. He stroked Feng Chen Lang''s hair and snapped his fingers.


    A cluster of black flames appeared in midair, and immediately set the apparatus in the laboratory ablaze.


    Yang Chen''s face revealed a relieved smile. She silently used her mouth to thank Jun Qiyan.


    Jun Qiyan''s nose turned sour, and he forced himself to hold back his tears.


    "Alright, time for us to leave. The Sword Spirit Sect should have already discovered our existence." Jun Qiyan took a deep breath and knew that this was not the time to be sad. They should first hurry out to ensure their safety.


    Everyone was silent for a moment after hearing Jun Qianyan''s words. Then, Beijing''s Ji Bai was the first to react. He patted Feng Chen Lang''s shoulder and comforted him, "Right now, our priority is to get revenge for him after we leave this place."


    Beijing''s Ji Bai and Feng Chenlang were good brothers who had been brothers for many years.


    When Jing Ji Bai said the word ''revenge'', Feng Chenlang''s face brightened up. He muttered to himself, "That''s right! Revenge ¡­"


    Jun Qiyan frowned, but didn''t say anything. The few of them quickly left the laboratory.


    Perhaps it was because the people on the road had gone too smoothly, even the heavens could not bear to see it anymore. An incredibly familiar yet long time no see, an acquaintance appeared before Jun Qiyan''s eyes.


    Jun Qiyan''s heart skipped a beat as she looked at the person in front of her.


    That person was none other than the person whom they had not met for a long time, Jun Luge.

 C220

    Fortunately, Jun Qiyan and the others had already changed their appearances, so Jun Yunge didn''t notice anything unusual.


    "Miss Holy Maiden." Jun Qiyan lowered her head and greeted Jun Luge.


    Afraid that the other party might sense something amiss, Jun Yunge nodded in agreement. He turned around and was about to leave, but Jun Qiyan let out a sigh of relief when she called out to him.


    "All of you, stop right there ¡­"


    Jun Qiyan''s heart skipped a beat. This was the headquarters of the Sword Spirit Sect, so if they were exposed, there was no way they would be able to survive ¡­


    "What orders does Miss Holy Maiden have ¡­" Although Jun Qiyan was flustered and flustered, he pretended to be calm on the surface, causing others to be unable to see through him.


    Jun Yunge narrowed his eyes and sized up Jun Feiyan from head to toe. Then, he said arrogantly: "Where did you guys go? Why do I see you as so unfamiliar?"


    I couldn''t resist looking up and down at the people behind Jun Qiyan.


    Jun Qiyan''s lips twitched, but his expression didn''t change as he calmly replied, "We''re all newcomers. Furthermore, a small figure like us cannot enter the Holy Maiden''s eyes, so we might feel a little unfamiliar."


    Jun Qianyan''s words seemed to cleverly lead Jun Yunge to a very high position, and to completely remove all suspicion of him from his mind.


    It was as if I was considering the credibility of the other party''s words.


    "Did you guys go to the warehouse just now?" Jun Yunge asked in a somewhat probing tone.


    Jun Qiyan''s expression stiffened. Of course he knew that this so-called storage was the result of human experimentation.


    "The elders want us to clean up ¡­" Jun Qianyan was cut off by Jun Yunge before he could finish his words, "Lies!"


    "The Elders will definitely not let you go to that place!" Jun Yunge''s eyes seemed to turn into sharp swords as he shot them towards Jun Qianyan and the others.


    Jun Qiyan''s expression changed as he thought, "Not good!" The four people behind him were already on alert.


    Just as everyone was preparing to fight to the death, a figure gracefully descended from the sky.


    Di Mo Jiu suddenly appeared in front of them. Perhaps it was because he realized that he had fallen into a trap of luring the tiger out of the mountain, but he didn''t even bother using it, appearing right in front of them.


    Jun Laige froze in place. This man was clearly the same man he had seen last time in the palace!


    It was because this man, Jun Laige, was staying up all night to ask around. He didn''t get a single bit of information from the man, and he just showed up right in front of him.


    It really was like stepping on broken iron shoes finding no place at all, obtaining it without any effort!


    Jun Laige was overjoyed. He thought to himself that he must not let this man disappear from his sight. He must grab him firmly in the palm of his hand. Such an outstanding man could only belong to him!


    Jun Laige secretly thought in his heart and couldn''t help but reveal a bashful expression on his face, "Erm ¡­" "Sir, have we met before ¡­"


    When Jun Qiyan saw the quick change in Jun Yunge''s complexion, she felt so disgusted that she wanted to vomit on the spot. Could he really vomit on the spot for this woman to see?!


    This was her man!


    Thinking about this, Jun Qiyan took a step forward and placed Di Mo Jiu behind him, looking so confused, like a baby chick.


    Di Mo Jiu looked at Jun Qiyan''s uninterested expression and couldn''t help smiling; he was in a very good mood too.


    The four limbs behind Jun Qianyan suddenly turned speechless. The two of you are such a lovable couple. Can we split up the site? This is the enemy camp!


    Can you guys feel the danger of losing your lives?


    "Cough cough, I was thinking of letting the two of you be more careful ¡­"


    Perhaps it''s because I really can''t stand it anymore, Feng Chenlang, your name couldn''t help but remind me.


    Jun Qiyan froze for a moment before she remembered that she was in danger. She didn''t know when, but the moment Di Mo Jiu appeared, Jun Qianyan would subconsciously feel that this man was the one who had taken care of everything and would never let her be in danger.


    When Jun Yunge saw that the other person didn''t pay him any attention, he immediately frowned. When he heard the name of the person standing behind Jun Qianyan, his expression immediately turned ugly as if he had just eaten sh * t.


    Xiao Yan?!


    Jun Yunge silently uttered these two words in his heart. Then, a malicious glint flashed in his eyes. Could this woman be...


    A bold idea suddenly popped up in his mind.


    This woman couldn''t be his good-for-nothing sister, right? Even Jun Yunrue couldn''t keep his composure as he thought, [How could a woman like this be compatible with this god-like guy?!]


    That b * tch Jun Qiyan was not even fit to carry his shoes!


    At this thought, Jun Laige''s expression became even more ferocious.


    "What is your purpose for trespassing the Sword Spirit Sect?" He didn''t know if it was for the reason that he had gotten his attention, or for something else. Jun Laige''s voice was especially shrill, which made everyone present frown.


    Jun Qiyan''s expression changed, but he did not intend to disguise himself. "Good sister, it''s been a long time ¡­"


    When Jun Yunrue finished speaking, a look of astonishment flashed across his face. Then, he looked at Jun Feiyan with a sinister look, wishing that he could tear her to pieces.


    "What happened to you?!" His guess and the fact that the other party was really Jun Qiyan were two completely different things.


    The gap between the two of them wasn''t something that Jun Laige could accept. He realized that he couldn''t see through the true strength of this woman!


    What did this mean?


    This meant that this woman''s strength was far above his!


    One must know that half a year ago, the other party was an existence that he could have easily killed with his bare hands! However, in this short period of half a year, he had actually grown into a colossus that was even more powerful than himself!


    As he thought of this, the murderous look in Jun Yunge''s eyes became even more obvious, and this woman had even stolen his man.


    Although Di Mo Jiu didn''t even know who Jun Luge was, when Jun Mo Xie first saw him, he had already labeled him as his own.


    Di Mo looked at him coldly with a trace of disdain on his face.


    Jun Laige had never seen such a piercing gaze before. She was surprised for a moment, and then stammered: "Do you know where we are? This is the Sword Spirit Sect ¡­ "


    Before Jun Yunge could finish his words, a burst of laughter interrupted him.


    Jun Qianyan swore that he definitely did not do it on purpose. This woman''s brain was truly different from ordinary people. "Miss Chen, should I say that you are retarded or an idiot?"


    "What is this place?" Do you really need to tell us? "


    In the face of Jun Qiyan''s mockery, an angry expression appeared on his face.


    When Jun Qiyan and Jun Yunge were facing off against each other, many of the imperial guards had surrounded Jun Qianyan and the others, so that not even a drop of water could trickle through.


    Di Mo Jiu narrowed his eyes and waved his hand. An invisible protective barrier enveloped everyone.


    No matter how the guards attacked from the outside, the people inside were unharmed. Jun Qiyan smiled as she looked at Jun Yunge, who was stomping his feet in anger. Then, she took out a space-time scroll from her storage ring at a leisurely pace, and disappeared from where she was.


    A trace of malevolence flashed across the faces of Jun Yunge and the others. They seemed to have thought of something as they turned around and ran towards the human body laboratory.


    She pushed open the door to the lab in a flurry of smoke.


    After receiving the news, the Elders rushed to the laboratory. Seeing that all the results of many years of management had been destroyed, Sang Hai went into the laboratory like a madman, inspecting the results of his experiments.


    Sang Hai was the main person in the human experiment and was the elder in charge.


    The aura exuding from his body gave off a sinister and terrifying feeling, and on his face, there were numerous blade scars that were disorderly and disorderly.


    At this moment, Sang Hai''s expression was especially horrifying.


    "Who did it ¡­" Sang Hai''s eyes were wide open as he gnashed his teeth while holding a handful of black ashes in his hand.


    He knew about the human experiment, and he himself had been involved in it before.


    Jun Laige''s main role was to bring the talented disciples to the Sword Spirit Sect and let these elders take action.


    His target was none other than Ye Chonglou, Ye Chonglou, Ye Chonglou, Gu Yao, and the others. However, the other party wasn''t in his trap, and coupled with their background and power, they had some influence in the Eastern Kingdom. In order to prevent their experiment from being exposed, Jun Yunge didn''t forcefully bring the others here.


    "Teacher ¡­" It''s a bitch called Jun Qiyan. "


    A trace of ruthlessness flashed through Jun Yunge''s eyes. He couldn''t help but wish that Jun Yunxiao would turn into ashes in his heart.


    Sang Hai murmured, "Jun Qiyan ¡­"


    Jun Laige nodded. Then, he seemed to have thought of something and continued, "These are only semi-finished products. Besides, I have a better experimental subject that can help you carry out your experiments."


    The corners of Jun Yunge''s lips curled up into a creepy smile.


    As he spoke of the experimental subjects, Sang Hai''s eyes lit up.


    "That person has the Purple Spirit Root ¡­" "Moreover, dual cultivation of fire and wood!"


    Jun Laige said in a gentle voice with a trace of bewitching.


    Sang Hai raised his eyebrows.


    It was obvious that he was very interested in it, and this was exactly what he wanted.


    "You''re talking about that girl called Jun Qiyan, right?"


    Sang Hai snorted coldly as he cut off Jun Qiyan''s thoughts.


    Jun Yunge nodded and did not deny it.


    Sang Hai''s scarlet tongue licked his lips as excitement flashed in his eyes. However, he squinted his eyes and continued, "I don''t care what grudge you have with that woman, but don''t ruin my plans!"


    Sang Hai was not a fool. He could tell from Jun Yunge''s words that they were not on good terms.


    Jun Laige''s face turned pale. He knew Sang Hai''s methods very well. He lowered his head and said respectfully, "I don''t dare to do anything to you in front of teacher."


    Hearing this, Sang Hai nodded his head in satisfaction.

 C221

    When Jun Qianyan and the others returned to Tanas Academy, they were greatly relieved. However, they were not in high spirits. After experiencing that scene, the Fourth Young Master was visibly a little gloomy.


    Especially since Feng Chen Lang had not spoken a single word since he returned from the Sword Spirit Sect.


    It was very different from normal days.


    Jun Qiyan sighed, and then said to the crowd, "We need to keep our spirits up. This time, the Sword Spirit Sect will definitely have us at the top. We need to work hard to strengthen ourselves, and protect the people we want to protect."


    These words caused everyone''s expression to improve slightly. Feng Chenlang, who was originally sitting dejectedly on the ground, immediately rolled around and stood up.


    He sniffed with his nose, and with a hint of hoarseness in his voice, he said, "You''re right, we cannot let our compatriots die in vain!"


    Jun Qianyan nodded her head in satisfaction. He had originally been afraid that Feng Chen Lang would be unable to recover from this matter, but now that he had changed all his grief into motivation, he felt that this was not a good thing at all.


    A person can only grow up after experiencing a setback.


    Jun Qiyan sighed, knowing that they still had a long way to go.


    "All of you can rest here for a while. I''ll go report to my mentor ¡­"


    Jun Qiyan patted them on the shoulder, turned around and left the dormitory.


    Jun Qiyan knocked on the door as she arrived at the office of the Grandmaster.


    "Enter."


    Jun Qi walked into the room.


    Master Cyan Edge sat on his chair with a stern expression. He neither spoke nor raised his eyes to look at Jun Qiyan when he saw her enter the room.


    Jun Qiyan sucked in a breath, pulled up a chair, and sat down in front of the Green Edge Grandmaster.


    "Instructor, about the Sword Spirit Sect ¡­ This disciple has something he wishes to report. "


    Jun Qiyan sat up straight and spoke slowly to the Green Edge Grandmaster, who was still looking down at something unknown.


    "Sword Spirit Sect?" Only then did Grandmaster Green Edge raise his eyes to look at Jun Qianyan, but he quickly lowered his gaze again. "Speak."


    "The people from the Sword Spirit Sect are cruel to the extreme. Lawless, you actually used people to do experiments on living beings!"


    If he hadn''t seen it with his own eyes, Jun Qianyan wouldn''t have believed that the Sword Spirit Sect would exist in this world as a cruel and immoral existence!


    "Mu Du, you can''t speak carelessly."


    The Green Edge Grandmaster was obviously frightened by this as well. He raised his hand and once again raised his eyes to look at Jun Yunxiao with a dark expression. He lowered his voice and asked, "Is this matter true?"


    "Absolutely!"


    Without the slightest bit of hesitation, Jun Qiyan heavily nodded her head, "Not only did this disciple personally see it, even the several people present personally saw it. And just now, we were also discussing this matter ¡ª of course, no matter what, it is best to report this matter to Master."


    "I already know about it."


    "As for the next step of the plan, I still need to report it to the Elders so that they can discuss it before I can reply."


    Jun Qiyan lightly furrowed her brows. Although she didn''t want to go through such a complicated and complicated process, since Grandmaster Qing Yun had already spoken, she couldn''t simply disobey and could only obediently nod her head.


    He was speechless for a moment.


    The Green Edge Grandmaster continued to work hard. Jun Qianyan was still sitting in her room, and didn''t know what to say. After thinking for a while, she chose to leave by herself.


    "Hold on."


    Before Jun Qiyan could open the door to the room, Grandmaster Greenwood called out to her. She turned around to see that the Grandmaster had already put down his things, folded his hands in front of his chest, and was staring at her.


    "Five days later, Tanas Academy will have another match in the finals ¡­ do you know about this?"


    Master Cyan Edge Grandmaster stared intently at Jun Qianyan. Jun Qianyan was stunned for a moment before she honestly shook her head, "Thank you for your advice, master. This disciple really does not know of it."


    "Do you know how to do that?"


    He quickly caught up to them.


    Jun Qiyan blanked again. What did she mean by not knowing what to do? This matter should not be decided by him, a teacher. She was only responsible for carrying out his'' orders''.


    Although Jun Qiyan had an opinion on this matter, he didn''t dare to put it on the surface. Thus, he bent his body, looked at Grandmaster Greencloud blankly, and said in a deep voice, "Disciple is slow-witted. Please give me your guidance."


    Seeing Jun Qianyan''s obedient demeanor, the Green Edge Grandmaster''s pupils contracted. In the end, he slowly spat out a few words. "Go and participate."


    "What?" Jun Qiyan was stunned. "Participating in what?"


    "For the finals."


    Grandmaster Green Edge looked at Jun Qianyan with a serious expression, causing her to not dare to be careless at all. "This is a competition held once a year by our Tanas Academy. The victor will be able to obtain the feudal fiefdom ¡ª do you understand what I''m saying?"


    Jun Qiyan gasped ¡ª


    On the Eastern Xuan Continent, the nobles all had their own fiefdom, and the role of fiefdom was nothing more than to distinguish between themselves and other people''s fiefdom, where one could build an army and set up a new system.


    It was certain that he could become rich, but the most important thing was that he could build his own faction.


    "So ¡­" "Mentor, you mean ¡­"


    Even though she had guessed the intentions of some of the masters, Jun Qianyan still didn''t dare to be certain about it. She gathered up her courage and cautiously asked: "So you''re saying that I will participate in the finals and try my best to get my own fiefdom?"


    "Then what else?"


    Grandmaster Qing Yun looked at Jun Qianyan with a smile that was not a smile, as a bright light flashed in his eyes, "Mu Kui, it''s impossible for you to always rely on Tanas Academy. In the end, you''ll have to develop your own strength, and now, isn''t this the best transition opportunity for you?"


    Jun Qiyan took a deep breath.


    That''s right, she would graduate from Tanas Academy in just a few years.


    If she could get a place in the finals and win the feudal fiefdom, she could continue her studies here and develop her own feudal fiefdom at the same time. When she graduated, the feudal fiefdom would develop steadily.


    This was simply a matter of the beauty of both worlds!


    In the end, he was still the most beloved disciple of Grandmaster Qing Yun. He had truly thought everything through for Jun Qiyan.


    "Thank you for your guidance, master!"


    Jun Qiyan stood up and gave a standard ninety degree bow to Grandmaster Blue-bound, then said word by word, "This disciple will remember Grandmaster Bluemoon''s love for his disciple for the rest of his life. He will definitely not disappoint you!"

 C222

    The competition five days later would most likely be the competition three months from now that Teacher Het mentioned.


    After this calamity, Tanasha''s requirements for strength had clearly gone up another notch. Otherwise, they wouldn''t have gone ahead in advance. One had to know that the incident at the Sword Spirit Sect was a disaster for the entire Eastern Xuan Continent.


    Jun Qiyan returned to his room and took a deep breath. He sat on the bed, his mind completely empty.


    It was unknown when night had fallen, but the door was opened with a creak. A slender figure appeared before Jun Qianyan''s eyes.


    The familiar face of Jun Qiyan was reflected in his eyes. The corner of his mouth twitched. He had been sitting there for too long, and his body was already stiff.


    "Ninth Master ¡­" Jun Qiyan shouted out.


    Di Mo Jiu looked at the man in front of him with a pained look. He then sat down and placed the small people into his arms.


    Jun Qiyan only felt her nerves tense up for the entire day. She began to relax a little. She buried her head into her opponent''s chest, greedily breathing in Di Mo Jiu''s familiar breath.


    Di Mo Jiu lightly patted Jun Qiyan''s back.


    Large teardrops couldn''t help but fall down from Jun Qiyan''s eyes. This little guy was actually crying on Di Mo Jiu''s chest.


    Although Jun Qiyan always gave people a strong and resolute look, he had moments of fear. However, he could not show them off. Everyone had already fallen into panic.


    If he showed the slightest bit of fear, the entire group would become headless.


    Di Mo Jiu naturally understood this, so he felt even more sorry for the little guy in his arms.


    "You don''t need to be annoyed. Since I have to force this matter, there are some things that I can take care of ¡­" You have to learn to rely on me. " Di Mo Jiu said softly as he held Jun Qianyan''s face.


    The gentleness in her eyes was something she had never seen before.


    Jun Qiyan sniffled, feeling embarrassed. She didn''t feel wronged at all, but the moment this man arrived, all her emotions collapsed.


    It was as if she were her own backer. Only in front of the Ninth Master could he let go of all his burdens.


    "It''s all your fault ¡­" Jun Qiyan suddenly said irrationally.


    Di Mo Jiu could not understand the tone of Jun Qianyan''s complaints, so he raised his eyebrows. Although he didn''t know where he was at, he could only blame his wife for whatever she said. "Hmm, it''s all my fault."


    As he looked at his Lord Demon Lord, he said those words in a very calm manner.


    Jun Qiyan rubbed his face in shame, as if trying to change the subject. "I found an experimental base in the Sword Spirit Sect ¡­"


    As soon as Jun Qianyan finished his sentence, Di Mo Jiu asked, "What experimental base?"


    Perhaps Di Mo Jiu''s reaction was too extreme, Jun Qianyan frowned slightly, but she still continued, "The whole thing was just a human experiment. We dug out the human spirit root and implanted it into the body of someone forced to create an invincible puppet..."


    The simple sentence was unable to clearly describe the laboratory''s miserable state. However, Di Mo Jiu''s mode had a much deeper look in his eyes, and the aura around him had also become stronger.


    "Are you hurt?" Di Mo Jiu was lost in thought, but after a moment he hurriedly asked.


    Jun Qiyan shook his head, feeling that something was amiss with the Ninth Master.


    Who was Ninth Master? But the mighty Demon Lord! There were very few things that would cause Di Mo Jiu to be so shocked.


    "Listen up, you must not interfere in this matter!" Di Mo Jiu grasped Jun Qiyan''s shoulder as he spoke with a serious expression on his face.


    Jun Qiyan nodded, though he didn''t know why Di Mo Jiu had said so. However, he knew that Ninth Master wouldn''t hurt him.


    Who would have thought that these people would have already extended their hands to the Eastern Xuan Continent ¡­


    Di Mo Jiu looked out of the window with his ten fingers slightly pressed together, the killing intent in his eyes became more and more obvious.


    The crisp sound beside her ears brought her thoughts back to reality.


    "Right, I also contracted with a Taotie."


    The girl blinked her eyes playfully and said with a face full of credit.


    Di Mo Jiu was stunned, that Taotie guy?!


    Di Mo Jiu raised his eyebrows and said in a low voice, "Oh, how come I didn''t know that my little girl was this powerful?"


    With a proud expression on his face, Jun Qianyan raised his chin, and then sent his divine sense into the Nuwa Stone. Di Mo Jiu also followed and entered the stone.


    However, the scene before them left Jun Qiyan completely dumbfounded.


    The medicinal herbs and pills that he had accumulated for over ten thousand years had all been eaten by a certain Taotie without anyone noticing.


    When Jun Qiyan came in, the Taotie was still holding onto a long sword and munching on it with all its might.


    Jun Qiyan: "?!"


    Could it be that he was usually hungry for this guy?!


    When the Taotie saw this person, it knew it was in the wrong to move the sword in its hand backwards. There was a flattering smile on its face as it meekly said: "Master, why are you here ¡­."


    Tao Tie had already changed into the appearance of a 45 year old child. He stared at Jun Qianyan with his pair of big, watery eyes. He was clearly acting cute!


    Jun Qiyan wished that he could pull up the Taotie and give it a fierce beating; it would be shameful to act cute!


    "Do you think I won''t beat you up just like that?!" Although there was a smile on Jun Qiyan''s face, his body carried an intangible, sinister, and terrifying aura.


    Tao Tie took a few steps back. After seeing Di Mo Jiu''s figure, his eyes lit up and he wanted to rush towards the opponent.


    "Lord Demon Lord!"


    Di Mo Jiu''s eyes narrowed, he was clearly displeased with the other party''s actions.


    Di Mo Jiu didn''t say anything and immediately picked up the Taotie.


    And the Taotie also did not know that it had transformed into the appearance of a little milk dog.


    "Wuu wuu, Lord Demon Lord, I know my wrongs ¡­" I will never eat again! "


    Tao Tie wanted to act cute towards his Lord Demon Lord, but a certain someone obviously did not want this.


    "Oh? "We''re not going to eat anymore?!"


    Di Mo Jiu raised his eyebrows, and then said, "Why does that phrase sound so familiar to me ¡­" "The last time you ate the weapons in the armory was when you destroyed my entire land ¡­"


    Di Mo Jiu scratched his chin as if he had thought of something, and then continued: "Oh, right! You also ate a whole warehouse of my gold. "


    Gold?


    Jun Qiyan was no longer calm. It seemed that he had already imagined the scene where a room full of gold had disappeared.


    A prodigal thing!


    Even though the money wasn''t his, he had confirmed his relationship with Jiu Zun. When they get married, Jiu Zun''s money would be his money ¡­


    In other words, Tao Tie had eaten his entire house of gold?


    A certain little woman who loved money as if it was her life could no longer remain calm. Without saying anything, he raised his hand and viciously slapped the Taotie''s butt.


    "Aooo!"


    The Taotie''s screams immediately rose and fell within the Nuwa Stone, not because of how much pain it was in, but because the Taotie, as one of the ten great vicious beasts, had suffered a heavy blow to its pride.


    The Taotie had grown up, suffered injuries, and experienced a narrow escape, but it was the only thing that had not been hit on the butt!


    Even his father had never hit her!


    This was simply intolerable!


    "Alright." Di Mo Jiu suddenly called out to stop Jun Qiyan''s next actions.


    Tao Tie was immediately moved to tears and snot. This Lord Demon God really did care about him!


    But before the Taotie had much time to be proud of himself, the following words from Di Mo Jiu had given him a taste of what it meant to be a berserk wife.


    "Stop hitting me. My hands are hurting. Let me do it."


    A bystander, the Octadic Snake, "¡­"


    Ball: "..."


    Qingzhuang: "¡­"


    However, he didn''t feel that there was anything wrong with what he had done and continued to smile.


    Tao Tie: Lord Demon Lord, is this really appropriate?! Don''t you know what it means to show love quickly?!


    Is it really appropriate for you to show love based on the pain of others?!


    However, the Taotie obviously did not dare to say these words. After going through this matter, mischievous was the one who thoroughly understood a truth.


    No matter who he offended, he must not offend Jun Qianyan!

 C223

    The elders had decided to suppress the matter after voting on the human experiment in the Sword Spirit Sect. If they didn''t have enough strength, they would only cause panic if they exposed this matter.


    But even so, Tanas Academy had also changed its way of doing things. All of the students displayed an aggressive attitude.


    Firstly, because of the influence of the incident in the Sword Spirit Sect, and secondly, because of the competition five days from now, the first fief would be crowned king!


    This was an unprecedented treatment.


    Naturally, Jun Qiyan was not discouraged. After five days of cultivation, her mastery over the use of spirit energy had increased by another level.


    Five days passed in the blink of an eye.


    Tanas Academy would select the highest ranked students of each cultivation department to participate in this year''s Academy Competition.


    Each match was decided by drawing lots.


    Jun Qianyan, Feng Chenlang, Ye Changsheng and the others were all well-known figures. Everyone had drawn their lots at the right time, and they all silently prayed that they would not fight against these monsters.


    In the first round of the competition, Jun Qiyan was participating in the Alchemist Competition. At the same time, she was matched with an ordinary man with a thin and weak appearance.


    After that person saw Jun Qi get onto the stage, he crossed his hands together, and looked bashful after seeing his idol.


    Jun Qiyan: "?"


    "Senior!"


    Without saying a word, he went up and bowed. Then, with his face completely red, he excitedly said, "I ¡­ I''ve worshipped you for a long time! "


    In this life, if it were any other person, this person would definitely not be able to afford it. One must know that this person was a third-year alchemist, and was much more experienced and experienced than Jun Qianyan.


    However, at this moment, that person was calling Jun Qiyan ''senior'' in an honest manner. This also proved that Jun Qiyan had a high status in the alchemy department.


    Jun Qiyan looked forward to the end of the mission. "Senior," he continued, "even though you are my idol, I will still try my best to beat you!"


    Jun Qiyan smiled, then softly said, "I will also use all of my strength!"


    The biggest thing to do for an opponent was to go all out. This also showed Jun Qianyan''s respect for him. With that said, the referee announced the start of the match.


    After an hour, Jun Qi had completely lost all color. Both sides had concocted pills, and as they opened their furnaces, a medicinal aroma wafted out from the furnace.


    "A second grade high grade pill, Spirit Gathering Pill."


    Even in the entire East Xuan Continent, a Tier 2 pill could be considered a higher tier pill.


    The referee then arrived at Jun Qiyan''s pill furnace.


    "Grade three middle tier pill, Spiritual Transformation Pill!"


    Grade three middle tier medicinal pill ¡­


    As soon as his voice fell, a commotion broke out underground. A mid-grade third-grade medicinal pill was already higher in grade than most of the instructors in the Alchemy Department!


    Even Grandmaster Qing Yun was only a Tier 4 apothecary!


    What kind of monster was this Jun Qiyan!


    Jun Qiyan lightly smiled, not the slightest bit of pride because of his own results.


    Fan Fan''s face had a look of disbelief, he originally just thought his idol was very powerful!


    Unexpectedly, their idol had reached such a level. Most of them had spent their whole lives trying to reach such a level!


    This knowledge caused Fan''s face to redden, even the elimination stage of the competition did not make him feel disappointed at all.


    Jun Qiyan looked at the youth in front of him and found him laughable.


    "Go for it!"


    Jun Qiyan patted his shoulder, then turned around and walked down the stage.


    On the other hand, the people from the Alchemy Department were staring at Jun Feiyan with hatred. How could they compete with someone of such standard?!


    This was simply one-sided abuse!


    However, Jun Qiyan didn''t notice this. She was confident that as long as there were no mishaps, she would be number one among the alchemists.


    What he didn''t expect was that on the second day, an unprecedented situation occurred in the alchemy department ¡ª all the contestants had given up at the same time.


    How could they even compare to the existence of a teacher?


    Upon hearing this news, Jun Qianyan didn''t know whether to laugh or cry. She had only put on a normal performance ¡­


    He hadn''t taken out the ancient pill formulas he had learned in the secret realm ¡­


    However, this was also good. This way, he would be able to wholeheartedly devote himself to fighting.


    Perhaps it was due to the collective abstention of the Alchemy Department, but a special rule had been added to the combat department ¡ª contestants were not allowed to forfeit.


    Everyone...


    Couldn''t he let them escape even if he couldn''t?


    As for the rules of the competition, the students of all the divisions had gathered together to draw lots.


    Those who had already fallen to the ground for more than ten seconds were deemed eliminated.


    This led to the current situation of concentration.


    In the first round, the one battling Jing Ji Bai was a fire element teenager. He had a rough appearance and strong muscles, but he was currently glaring at Jing Ji Bai.


    It was as if his face was full of ''If you dare to come over, I will tear you apart!''


    When the judge gave the order, the battle began.


    With a plop, the man lay on the ground without a word.


    He could not help but shout out, "Sh * t! You little white face, it''s not like I want to surrender! I ate something bad today, so I don''t want to compete with you, do you know that?! "


    Everyone: "..."


    Beijing''s Ji Bai: "..."


    Ten seconds later, perhaps because it was too embarrassing, the person yelled at the referee in a rough voice, "Is the time not up yet?"


    After saying that, without waiting for the referee to finish saying the word ''eliminated'', he dejectedly left the arena.


    This wasn''t a rare occurrence, but there were also many people who weren''t convinced, such as this person in front of them.


    The one who walked on stage was a man with a height of two meters and a body full of muscles.


    He was truly staring at Ye Changsheng, his face pale and small, as if he would fall if the wind were to blow.


    The opposing party was an earth cultivator, and earth cultivators and wood elementalists had always been at odds with each other. As the number one wood elementalist, Ye Changsheng had naturally become a thorn in their side. In the eyes of earth elementalists, those wood elementalists were just a bunch of pretty boys playing with flowers.


    Without them the dirt would be nothing.


    "I advise you to step down by yourself, or you might not even be able to keep your life if I punch you."


    These words were quite rude.


    A hint of worry flashed across Jun Qianyan''s face. They all clearly understood Ye Changsheng''s physical condition.


    Feng Chenlang seemed to be able to read Jun Qianyan''s mind. He consoled her, "Don''t worry. That guy is very black. Although he''s been sick all year round, he''s very black."


    As he finished speaking, he didn''t forget to wink at Jun Qiyan, looking at Feng Chenlang''s disorderly appearance.


    Jun Qiyan couldn''t help but laugh, but she was very clear in her heart that although Feng Chenlang loved to joke around, he would absolutely not speak nonsense when it came to matters like these.


    As the two talked, the match on stage also began.


    They only saw that Ye Changsheng was not the least bit angered by the other party''s words. On the contrary, his small smile remained the same as usual.


    Perhaps it was because he had calmly provoked the muscular man opposite him, but the man immediately raised his fist and wanted to smash at him.

 C224

    A fierce astral wind swept past Ye Changsheng''s ears, along with a hint of concrete. Ye Changsheng''s finger gently pushed, and a green vine began to twine between his fingers. As the fist was about to come, the green vine immediately wrapped itself around the stocky man''s arm.


    That person had wanted to withdraw his hand, but he was firmly nailed to the ground by Ye Changsheng.


    "You!" The opponent clearly hadn''t expected that his strike with his full strength would be so easily dissolved.


    Ye Changsheng squinted his eyes. A faint smile still hung on the corner of his mouth, but in the next second, he ruthlessly flung it away.


    In the blink of an eye, the sturdy man who''d been standing on the ring was thrown to the ground. A human shaped figure appeared at the edge of the ring.


    The total amount of time between the two of them was less than five minutes. The person who had originally been valiant and spirited, the one who had threatened to smash Ye Changsheng to death with a single punch, was now below the stage.


    The audience suddenly went silent, as if they couldn''t believe that such a powerful force could be released from this tiny figure''s body.


    The capital city''s Bai, Feng Chenlang and co. were not surprised by this.


    When Jun Qiyan saw that the other party was alright, she too relaxed.


    After that, Feng Chen''s match with Gu Shenwei had become much easier. Those who had to leave the stage, those who had to admit defeat, had to admit defeat.


    Jun Qiyan was bored to death.


    The first round of the promotions had already ended on the first day. Jun Qiyan, Ye Changsheng, and Ji Bai, Feng Chen, and the others all advanced without any mishaps.


    To celebrate, he actually found a hotel immediately and ordered a table full of dishes.


    "Speaking of which, you are too abnormal ¡­" While gnawing on the chicken leg, Feng Chenlang did not forget to complain about Jun Qiyan.


    "From ancient times till now, alchemists were all brittle apothecaries. They could only play a supporting role in a war. Yet, you even dared to beat up a group of people with your abilities."


    Feng Chenlang could not help but say.


    Ji Bai smiled and said with a hint of ridicule, "You are the one who is being hung, please don''t drag us into this."


    There was a deep meaning behind his words.


    "Fuck, can''t I eat properly?!" Feng Chen was so angry that he threw his chopsticks on the spot, and he was about to roll up his sleeves and fight to the death with Jing and Ji Bai.


    Jun Qianyan and the others smiled as they looked at Feng Chen Lang.


    The latter had been waiting for a long time, but Jun Qiyan and the others had not come to stop them.


    He looked at Jun Qianyan with an extremely aggrieved expression, and asked with a slightly aggrieved tone, "Why don''t you all drag it along a little?!"


    As for Jun Qianyan and the others, they looked at Feng Chenlang with smiles on their faces and had the expression "I''ve long seen through you".


    Beijing''s Ji Bai raised his eyebrows and asked, "What? Didn''t you want to teach me a lesson?"


    Feng Chen Lang: "¡­"


    "You, you guys!"


    It was unknown whether it was due to anger or anxiousness, but Feng Chenlang''s face had turned completely red.


    "Mo Jiu, look at them!"


    Maybe it was due to Feng Chen Lang having eaten the heart of a leopard, he actually went as far as to Di Mo Jiu''s side, and said: "Mo Jiu! Look at them, they are bullying me! "


    Jun Qiyan: "¡­"


    Di Mo Jiu: "¡­"


    To the side, Ye Changsheng could not stand watching this farce. He narrowed his eyes and interrupted, "You guys stop messing around. Have you thought about what you should do in the upcoming matches?"


    With this said, everyone fell silent.


    Only Feng Chen Lang said heartlessly: "What else can we do?"


    "Fight, fight with me if I can, fight with me if I can, kill with me if I have a pair!"


    He had an extremely arrogant look on his face.


    Jing Ji Bai silently threw a supercilious look at Feng Chenlang, then said with a deep voice, "I said you''re stupid, you''re really an idiot!"


    "Changsheng means that in the future, the few of us will definitely fight together."


    Finished speaking, Feng Chenlang finally reacted.


    "Holy shit, that''s right."


    He stood blankly on the spot.


    On the other hand, Gu Yao acted like he didn''t care. He shrugged his shoulders, as if he didn''t care, "What''s there to fight for? Let me tell you guys, this young lord will definitely not go easy on you."


    Jun Qiyan nodded his head in agreement with Gu Yao''s words. If it was because of the first place candidate, none of them would have felt at ease.


    Feng Chen swallowed his saliva.


    Damn it, why does he always have a bad premonition?


    Ye Changsheng chuckled, his face revealing a look of understanding.


    The finals were about to arrive.

 C225

    Only Jun Qiyan and Jing and Ji Bai were left behind.


    At this moment, the arena was already surrounded by people, and the Elders of the academy were already gathered at a high place. The two people on the stage were the center of attention.


    "If the two sirs are ready, then the match shall begin." A white-haired old man on a high ground spoke. The hidden strength that was mixed with energy spread to every corner of the arena.


    The two of them looked at each other, seemingly carefree, but at this moment, they had already made up their minds.


    The staff in Beijing''s Ji Bai''s hand shook the ground. Immediately, waves of energy spread in all directions. Since it was a competition, he had to go all out.


    Jun Qiyan stepped on the cool breeze and quickly stepped onto the arena, meeting Ji Bai''s gaze. He nodded slightly. If they weren''t enemies, that was enough.


    Once she made up her mind, she quickly formed a seal with her hands with her eyes closed, then took out the Ice Sword.


    Once this sword appeared, everyone on the field who had some experience would know about it. The power of this sword was created by Xuan Bing over ten thousand years.


    "Tell me, who do you think will win today?"


    "I think it must be Beijing''s Ji Bai. Everyone can clearly see his strength."


    "You''re wrong. Yin Muju used her own strength to turn the tide and saved us from fire and water. Furthermore, she even had an ancient magical beast on her body!"


    At the same time, there were also people who voiced their doubts.


    The whispers from the audience also reached their ears. The two looked at each other and smiled.


    "I''m sorry, Sister Jun," he said in a low voice, which could only be heard by the two of them.


    After he had finished, he gave the order.


    The sound of the gongs and drums resounded throughout the arena, causing the entire arena to become a bit quieter. Due to the respect they had for their opponents, the two people on the arena bowed to each other.


    The corner of Jun Qianyan''s mouth raised into an arc as he nodded slightly towards Ji Bai. His right hand gripped the cold ice sword as he urged the strange black flames within his body. The strange black flames moved from the inside to the outside and flowed along his arm, filling the sword body.


    Seeing this, not only did Jing and Ji Bai not show any sign of fear, there was even a hint of excitement in their eyes.


    In that instant, the golden staff in his hand changed, and the energy ball followed along with the wind appearance of Jun Qiyan''s attack ¡­


    "Bang, bang, bang!"


    Jun Qianyan brandished the ice sword in her hand as she faced the incoming attack with ease, her expression not the slightest bit flustered.


    If he was unable to get close to him, then he would have to end this match in failure.


    As she thought of this, her consciousness moved. She quickly activated the wood type energy in her body, the Blood Evil Lotus, and suddenly, a large number of wooden vines appeared on the ground of the arena.


    There was also a third attribute.


    In his heart, Jing Ji Bai was shocked, but then the corner of his mouth curved up in a smile.


    After recovering from his shock, a huge amount of energy burst out from Jing Ji Bai''s body. He was not afraid at all. Instead, he calmed down. Such a calm personality allowed him to remain calm even in the face of danger.


    The collision between the two powers, after a quick interweaving, caused a powerful shockwave. A battle between experts would always create quite a huge impact.


    The surrounding students subconsciously channeled the energy within their bodies to defend themselves, fearing that it would affect them.


    The wooden vines quickly wrapped around the surroundings of Jing and Ji Bai, forming a circle. The golden light mixed within was very dazzling.


    These were the entanglement of these two attributes. In the midst of resisting and colliding ¡­ The light was boundless.


    "Bam!" With an explosive sound, the wooden cane was shattered and flew in all directions. Jing and Ji Bai once again appeared on the stage.


    But, Jun Qiyan''s figure was nowhere to be seen ¡­


    It''s not good," he thought to himself.


    She didn''t use wood elemental energy to harm herself... It was all to buy time.


    Thinking of this, Jing Jubai quickly mobilized his energy and gathered it on his staff. He scanned his surroundings vigilantly, ready to launch an attack at any time.


    The situation on the field had changed so much that many people were unable to cope with it.


    Beijing''s Ji Bai narrowed his eyes. The magic staff in his hand struck towards a certain part of the arena like a bolt of lightning.


    "Brother Ji Bai truly has good eyesight!" A clear and melodious sound rang. Jun Qiyan leaped forward, and appeared in front of Ji Bai. In a split-second, she didn''t have enough time to launch an attack, and directly used the ice sword in her hand to block.


    The surface of the sword was completely covered by the ''Heavenly Flame''. Moreover, the power of the Ice Sword was not to be underestimated. After a fight, it could be considered to be of equal strength.


    The two of them quickly retreated ¡­


    Jun Qiyan looked at the man in front of her with vigilance. He couldn''t help but secretly marvel at the fact that he had met with so many fortuitous encounters on the outside that he managed to obtain his current strength!


    On the other hand, Jing and Ji Bai were even with him ¡­


    Just as Jun Qianyan was pondering, Beijing''s Ji Bai laughed out loud. His pupils also turned a pale gold, and a fierce wind began to blow around him, causing his black hair to flutter in the wind.


    Feng Chen Lang and the rest paled, and immediately shouted: "Quickly stop the competition!"


    However, the wind had completely drowned Feng Chen Lang''s angry shouts. Jun Qianyan''s face turned pale as a grave expression appeared on her face. She didn''t have any time to think before she waved her staff again.


    Countless energy waves uninterruptedly struck at Jun Qiyan.


    All of a sudden, dust and dirt flew into the air.


    The people on the ground were already dumbfounded by what they saw.


    "Shattered Ice Shattering Slash!"


    Jun Qiyan silently said in his heart.


    A mist bead quickly appeared around his body. This was the extremely cold temperature released by the Ice Sword, and it met the outside world''s temperature. From this, one could see the powerful ice type energy contained within.


    In just a moment, Jun Qiyan''s movement technique had become much faster, leaving only a few afterimages behind ¡­


    Subconsciously retreating, Jing Ji Bai also condensed his light elemental energy.

 C226

    Subconsciously retreating, Jing Ji Bai also condensed his light elemental energy.


    Dazzling light collided with the ice sword, and the two equally matched powers resisted.


    "Soul Devouring Flame!"


    Jun Qiyan controlled the fire within his body and quickly gushed it out.


    "Swish ¡­"


    "Chen Lang, you don''t have to be so nervous. It''s been so many years since that pervert finally met his match. Just let him enjoy himself to his heart''s content!"


    No one knew when Gu Yao had walked over, but it couldn''t help but smack its lips. Jun Qiyan''s strength was not to be underestimated. The two of them were really going to have a showdown.


    In the blink of an eye, he dodged Jun Qianyan''s attack, channeled his energy, and attacked again.


    BOOM!


    Again ¡­


    When the two of them looked at each other, Ji Bai fell into a momentary trance. At this moment, Jun Qianyan''s eyes were glinting with a cold light. This kind of appearance was rarely seen.


    In a flash, the students below the stage could only see Jun Qiyan striking out with a lightning fast speed, the Ice Sword dancing in her hand in a very marvelous manner.


    The afterimages were in the air, and the cold air seemed to freeze the air.


    Jing and Ji Bai were forced to retreat. The ice type energy mixed with the fire had not only greatly increased their power, but also slowed them down.


    "Heavenly Shadow Sunlight Array."


    He saw Jing and Ji Bai put the magic staff on the ground, and his hands quickly formed a strange rune, with traces of energy. Only those who had reached a certain level could see that it was growing several times faster than before, dozens of times faster ¡­


    As for this rune, it was accompanied by a sound that echoed out. The energy contained within it became increasingly powerful, causing many teachers high above to be shocked.


    He never thought that there would be someone who possessed such a powerful skill within the academy.


    Hei Te nodded slightly as he looked at Ji Bai. His eyes were filled with astuteness. If he was nurtured further, he would definitely become an outstanding figure in the academy in the future.


    Seeing that Ji Bai was getting serious, Jun Qiyan also took a few steps back. She was clear that in battles between experts, the victor would usually be decided in one move.


    Her red lips moved, and in that instant ¡­ The temperature on the field dropped rapidly. At the same time, a powerful energy pressure also struck every corner of the field ¡­


    He could feel that these two energies were abnormally powerful and terrifying.


    As if he was following his shadow, Ji Bai attacked without any hesitation. The essence of light magic had already touched upon the barrier.


    An expert who could make him use his full strength was worthy of this formation.


    Water Spirit Pearl... Jun Qiyan tried to use the energy contained within it to combine with the ''Heavenly Flame''. Although it was very risky, she had a feeling that it would definitely produce an extraordinary effect.


    He closed his eyes tightly, sweat dripping off his body. This was a great test of willpower. If he wasn''t careful, he could easily go berserk, and all his previous efforts would go down the drain ¡­ This was perhaps the reason why no one dared to try. After all, one could imagine how difficult it was to control a ''Heavenly Flame''.


    Once the formation was completed, the light elemental energy used by Jing Ji Bai surged towards the arena, enveloping it in raging waves.


    "Damn, so terrifying ¡­"


    Some people couldn''t help but be shocked in their hearts ¡­


    She stared at Jun Qianyan, her eyes still tightly shut. Even though Jing Bai hesitated for a moment, no one would show any mercy on the battlefield.


    "Let''s end this battle."


    Everyone in the audience also broke out in a cold sweat for Jun Qiyan.


    At this moment, she was in an abyss of suffering. This crazy action of hers caused her to be unable to endure it.


    "Freeze!" At this critical moment, Jun Qiyan abruptly opened her eyes.


    A wave of ice-cold energy that was mixed with a scorching heat gushed out.


    When she brought up the ice sword, the aura emitted from her body now seemed to be several generations stronger than before.


    Hydt looked at Jun Qiyan. This little fellow seemed to be even more interesting than the previous one ¡­


    "Break for me!"


    Jun Qiyan struck out once more with the momentum of a thunderbolt, swiftly striking the energy that surrounded them. The entire arena immediately glowed with boundless light ¡­ They couldn''t even open their eyes, and the powerful energy waves forced them to activate their shields.


    Moments later ¡­ A wave of heat hit Jun Qiyan as she landed. She raised her ice sword and pointed it in the direction of Ji Bai.


    On the other side, Jing Ji Bai took a few steps back before he stopped, looking slightly embarrassed.


    The cuffs were also somewhat damaged.


    "I''ve lost."


    These words caused everyone on the scene to be shocked.


    The two of them had only exchanged blows for a short while, but in just a few rounds, Beijing''s Ji Bai actually admitted defeat. It was simply inconceivable.


    Jun Qiyan kept her sword and walked to the side of Ji Bai.


    In the end, this match ended with the defeat of Ji Bai and the victory of Jun Qianyan.


    In the instant of surprise, applause rang out as well. The elders on the tall stage also stood up and nodded their heads. They looked at each other and all of them were very satisfied with the wonderful battle.


    On one hand, the purpose of the Academy''s arena matches was to assess the students'' abilities. On the other hand, they were to find geniuses who could be nurtured by the Academy. This way, they would become the new star of Tanas Academy.


    "In that case, I shall announce Yin Muju as the victor." In a moment, Hydt was already on the arena. With a wave of his hand, he had tidied up the mess on the arena.


    Soon after, the other instructors on the platform also came up to the arena and stood behind Hydt. The entire arena suddenly became a bit quieter.


    "Yin Mu Jiu has obtained victory. The academy has also prepared a mysterious reward. With the unanimous approval of the academy''s instructors, we will give Bai City to the winner!"


    Hydt''s powerful words reached every student''s ears, causing a heated discussion.


    White City was a city famous for its wealth. Underground, there were countless minerals, and the mountain ranges included countless treasures.


    At this moment, Jun Qianyan had undoubtedly attracted the gazes of many young girls, and had become the focus of this arena.


    Facing the burning gazes, she seemed at a loss on what to do. At the same time, she felt a cold gaze staring at her from behind, causing her to feel flustered.


    The feeling of being stared at was really not good. After taking over the city and going through some procedures, Jun Qiyan didn''t intend to stay any longer. She immediately turned around and prepared to leave ¡­


    Their gazes met, and Jun Qiyan was defeated. A soft light flickered in Di Mo''s eyes.


    "Cough, cough ¡­"

 C227

    "Cough, cough ¡­"


    Jun Qiyan coughed dryly twice as he walked over to his side.


    "Not bad, it''s just that ¡­" "You don''t know your place." Di Mo Jiu bent down and placed his body close to her ear, a captivating aura assaulted her senses.


    "I''ll deal with you when I get back." Jun Qiyan didn''t dare to look him in the eye. After all, there were still a lot of people around. However, she could feel that when Di Mo Jiu said his last sentence, his gaze was fixated on that part of her ¡­ It was as if he was telling himself that he was also a woman.


    "Cough, cough ¡­" After a long while, Jun Qiyan raised her head and looked at Di Mo Jiu''s familiar face. Di Mo Jiu''s expression was quite relaxed as he was at a loss of what to do.


    "It''s been a great day. Wait for me, I still have something to do." Di Mo Jiu rubbed Jun Qiyan''s head and said lovingly.


    She nodded, but couldn''t avoid the burning gaze.


    Seeing that Di Mo Jiu had left, she also came to Ji Bai''s place.


    The four of them all had their own expressions, but Feng Chen''s was the most exaggerated ¡­


    "I say, no matter what, you are a rich woman now, aren''t you going to reward us a little?" Feng Chen Lang walked up with a mischievous smile on his face.


    "Young Master Feng of the eight Wealthy Classes, do you still need this much from me?" Jun Qiyan looked at Feng Chenlang and replied without a trace of politeness.


    The three people around him also smiled. In short, today was a day worth celebrating.


    Feng Chenlang was naturally very pleased with himself after hearing Jun Qiyan''s words. "Then, I''ll be treating you to a meal today."


    Unknowingly, a certain someone fell into Jun Qiyan''s pit together.


    After the competition was over, it was time for the holidays. The day after Jun Qianyan obtained the authority to manage White City was also three days later.


    "The White City is rich in materials, but I didn''t expect it to be in such a remote place. Those old guys are really smart!"


    Feng Chen Lang could not help but mumble.


    Jun Qiyan narrowed her eyes as she held the map in her hands. It was unknown what she was thinking.


    There was a red symbol on the map in his hand, which indicated that he was in the Howling Forest, an abandoned city on the peak of the mountain.


    Ji Bai stood aside with the fan in his hand. He said softly, "The purpose of the academy giving us the city is to train our own forces so that we can fight against the Sword Spirit Sect in the future."


    After he finished speaking, the surroundings fell into silence. Ye Changsheng smiled and said, "This can be considered to be within our expectations. If we can''t even resist this little bit of difficulty, how can we go against the Sword Spirit Sect?"


    Jun Qiyan smiled. "As long as you''re here, you can rest easy."


    "I can''t manage such a big city by myself, so I''d like to ask you to take care of it with me."


    The other four looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other''s eyes. Gu Yao was the first to speak, "Since you trust us, we are naturally duty-bound."


    For a matter like managing the city, no one would let the others represent the power that Buddha held in his hands before he took office.


    Jun Qiyan''s current actions were not because of how foolish he was, but rather because he trusted them ten times to ten.


    Bai Cheng stood on the peak of the Howling Forest. For the past thousand years, no one had been able to enter, so the amount of minerals within was astonishing.


    However, because no one entered the city all year round, White City became the resting place of a magical beast.


    If Jun Qiyan wanted to develop the White City, his first mission would be to use the magic beasts of the Howling Forest for his own purposes.


    It was just one thing, but it had already defeated countless people.


    If he wanted to make the White City more prosperous, it was even more important to raise the economy and population.


    "It might be even harder than you think to make the show rich."


    After a while, Jing and Ji Bai took the lead and said, "You don''t have to worry about economic matters."


    Jun Qiyan looked gratefully at Ji Bai. He had yet to come to White City, so it was unknown what his future would be like.


    It was not easy for Beijing''s Ji Bai to make such a bold statement.


    Feng Chen Lang scratched his head and chuckled before he continued, "Since Second Brother Jing has already said that, I naturally cannot fall behind."


    "Leave the defense to our Feng Family!" Our Feng Family''s formation is not built upon us! "


    "Weapon, manpower, just leave it to us two families."


    Gu Yao glanced at Ji Bai and Gu Yao before turning towards Jun Qiyan and said.


    Ye Changsheng also nodded his head.

 C228

    The few of them had traveled from the Howling Forest to White City without incident. Firstly, they had the numbers of people, and the low level magical beasts did not dare to attack them. Secondly, because the auras of Jun Qianyan and the others were too strong, even the high level magical beasts did not dare to act rashly.


    Arriving at White City, the crowd stared at the grand building before them as emotions flooded their hearts.


    "When I thought about it, the glory of White City was enough to stun the entire East Xuan Continent."


    He even pretended to sigh and shook his head.


    Jun Qianyan lightly furrowed his brows, and asked with some confusion, "What do you mean by that?"


    Feng Chenlang was startled as he said somewhat surprised: "Little Sister Jun, you don''t know about the matters in White City?"


    When Gu Yao saw the blank look on Jun Qianyan''s face, he suddenly sarcastically said, "You''re a very magnanimous city lord. Before we moved in, you didn''t even investigate everything thoroughly."


    Jun Qiyan cast a sidelong glance at Gu Yao, but wasn''t angered by his cold words. Instead, he softly replied, "It''s my problem."


    Ye Changsheng chuckled and tried to smooth things over. "The glory of White City is already something that happened nearly a thousand years ago. It''s common for Qiyan to not know."


    "Gu Yao, we''re all brothers, don''t always talk like this."


    Beijing''s Ji Bai seemed to not be able to continue watching this. Gu Yao had always been mocking Jun Feiyan like this, his brows knitted as he spoke.


    Gu Yao coldly snorted and didn''t reply.


    "Tell me about White City. Which city lord was able to make all of the howling magical beasts of the Howling Forest submit to him?"


    "Submission of ten thousand beasts?"


    One must know that the Howling Forest was filled with crouching dragons and hidden tigers, and there were many ancient magical beasts like the Octadic Great Snake. The reason why people didn''t see them was because the ancient magical beasts had a very arrogant temperament, and disdained to disturb humans too much.


    "The submission of ten thousand beasts is nothing compared to the submission of White City. One must know that back then, the four great nations were also subservient to it!"


    Gu Yao added coldly.


    No one said anything.


    Feng Chenlang sighed and said somewhat regretfully, "However, those flourishing scenes from back then no longer existed after the City Lord of White City left for the Heaven Realm."


    "White City has become a wasteland."


    "However, back then when the White City''s City Lord left, he seemed to have anticipated this scene. Therefore, he asked the Dean to find a person who could bring White City back to its former glory days."


    As the sound of his voice faded, a few gazes fell upon Jun Qiyan.


    Wanting to return to the scene from back then was something that others would not even dare to imagine.


    Jun Qiyan''s eyes narrowed as she clenched her fists. She gave a gentle smile and joked, "The so-called ''three smelly smiths'' are like the bright stars in the sky. The five of us are afraid that we won''t be able to manage a city like this!"


    "Exactly!"


    Feng Chenlang''s eyes lit up as he spoke.


    "The two of you, don''t be too excited. Let''s deal with this first."


    Jing Ji Bai''s voice rang out at an inopportune moment, interrupting their excitement.


    Following the direction that Jing and Ji Bai were looking, they saw a group of black crowned magical beasts eyeing the people in front of them like tigers eyeing their prey.


    Jun Qiyan and the others were alarmed.


    The few magical beasts in the lead gradually took human form.


    The smile on Ye Changsheng''s face also lessened somewhat.


    He muttered, "Qilin, Bai Ze."


    The Kirin and Bai Ze that Ye Changsheng spoke of were the names of the two magical beasts of the Primordial Era.


    The man wearing golden armor with a carefree smile on his face was Qilin. Beside him was the ancient dao immortal wind, while the man in white was like a god. It was Bai Ze.


    "Yo, Bai Ze, there''s a bunch of people who aren''t afraid of death."


    The Qilin looked at Jun Qianyan and the others with disdain in its eyes.


    Bai Ze looked at Jun Qianyan and the others indifferently, his eyes seemed to be filled with a ten thousand year old frost.


    Feng Chenlang let out a hollow laugh and did not erupt. He knew that if he were to fight with these two magical beasts, they would definitely be at a disadvantage.


    "Your Excellency has misunderstood. We received Tynes Academy''s noon residence in White City."


    The moment she said this, the hostility in the Qilin''s eyes clearly disappeared. However, its scarlet eyes continued to stare at the people in front of it.


    Taking advantage of the conversation between the two, Jun Qiyan secretly summoned the Octadic Snake and Taotie.


    Thinking about the abilities of a magical beast family, it would be good if the Octadic Snake could interact with Tao Tie and Bai Ze.


    But as soon as the Baji Snake appeared, before it could take human form, the Qilin had already transformed into a beast form, baring its fangs and pouncing towards the Baji Snake like a bolt of lightning.


    The Octadic Snake didn''t have time to prepare, and could only forcibly block this move.


    No one would have thought that the matter would turn out like this. Jun Qianyan looked at the two warring magical beasts, and her heart suddenly rose to her throat.


    "Stop."


    Bai Ze, who hadn''t spoken since she left White City, spoke up to stop the battle.


    The Qilin''s sharp claws had already reached the neck of the Octadic Snake.


    The Qilin didn''t want to let go of this good opportunity to kill the snake. She reluctantly said, "Bai Ze, look carefully. It''s the Octadic Snake. This guy is finally in my hands."


    Then, he ground his teeth as if there was something wrong.


    "Kirin!"


    Bai Ze called out Kirin''s name again, but his tone was much more severe than before.


    Seeing that Bai Jie was really angry, the Qilin slowly loosened its grip on the Octadic Snake''s neck. Before it left, it even fiercely dug into the snake with its eyes. The hatred contained within was self-evident.


    The Octadic Snake was unsatisfied with being ambushed by the Qilin. He leaped forward with a clear intent to fight to the death with the Qilin.


    When Jun Qiyan saw this, he hurriedly snapped, "Crush!"


    The body of the Octadic Snake jolted as it retracted the ferocious look on its face. It turned its head aggrieved and looked at Jun Qianyan, "He''s bullying me! And you''re still plotting against me! "


    Jun Qiyan''s face fell, but his voice was still as stern as before. "Come back here!"


    Bai Ze was already taking a step back. If he allowed the Octadic Snake to fight with the Qilin, not to mention whether he could successfully enter White City, even if he survived and left the Howling Forest, it would still be an unknown number.


    Perhaps it was because Jun Qiyan was truly angry.


    The Octadic Snake felt somewhat wronged and lowered its head, but it still didn''t say anything.


    "Octadic Snake, I haven''t seen you for a few days. You sure are promising. You''ve actually become a human dog!"


    After saying that, the Qilin fiercely spat on the ground. It crossed its arms and looked forward to the show.


    The Octadic Great Snake couldn''t suppress his temper in a short period of time, so Jun Feiyan could only hold on to him, afraid that he would get into a fight with someone the moment the Octadic Great Snake was provoked.


    "What''s the matter with you two?"


    Jun Qiyan asked the snake in a low voice.


    The Octadic Snake pursed his lips and said with a deep voice, "The two of us have a personal grudge. But then again, that guy Bai Ze was also a member of the Demon God Lord."

 C229

    Hearing these words, Jun Qiyan''s eyes lit up. A subordinate of his own Ninth Master?


    "Big Snake Ba Qi, long time no see."


    Bai Ze said indifferently, with a voice that did not show whether he was happy or angry.


    "Long time no see."


    The two of them were like good friends that had not seen each other in a long time.


    However, there was a hint of unspeakable strangeness to it.


    Jun Qiyan lightly furrowed his brows. He didn''t know why, but he always had a bad premonition in his heart.


    "How has Lord Devil God been recently?"


    Bai Ze continued to ask.


    "Everything is fine."


    After chatting for a while, the two of them got down to business.


    "To be honest, we came here today to take back the White City."


    Baji said with a smile that did not reach his eyes.


    Jun Qiyan silently broke out into a cold sweat. Wasn''t the words of the Baji Snake the same as: "Although this is your home, from today onwards, I will be in charge here"?


    Sure enough, after the Baji Snake''s voice landed, Bai Ze''s complexion darkened quite a bit. The Qilin had a violent temper, and he immediately cursed out on the spot.


    "Ha! You want these humans to come to our White City?" "That''s impossible!"


    After being rejected in one go and in addition to the initial sneak attack, the face of the Octadic Snake immediately turned red, as if he wanted to return the favor.


    Feng Chen Lang didn''t give him the opportunity to be the first to speak. He took a step forward and said, "As far as I know, the founder of White City is a human. Don''t you feel embarrassed talking about it?"


    The Kirin King''s face stiffened. In front of the many attacks from the debt foundation, he had been humiliated by a human. It was obvious that he was extremely unhappy.


    He rolled up his sleeves and wanted to fight with Feng Chen Lang. Perhaps he felt that it was too embarrassing to have such a brother.


    Bai Ze directly said, "You can''t take them with you here anymore, get the hell back!"


    These words were said without mercy. If it was anyone else, they would have already left.


    But Kirin just smiled with his doggy face, as if the person he was scolding wasn''t him.


    The Octadic Snake looked at the one in front of it with disdain.


    "Sir, the hall master of your hall said that Tanas Academy came to choose the later White City Lord. As his subordinates, why did you disobey her orders like this?"


    Jing Jubai, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said with a smile that didn''t reach his eyes.


    Bai Ze glared at Ji Bai, his eyes seemingly wanting to devour Ji Bai alive.


    After a long while, Bai Ze suddenly smiled. However, that smile was not in the bottom of his eyes, and it carried a hint of chilliness.


    "How can you say that? Since you guys are chosen by the Tynes Academy, then of course you guys aren''t a little dissatisfied."


    Bai Ze folded his hands and bowed in the direction of Jun Qiyan.


    Her voice paused for a moment before she continued, "However, don''t blame me for not saying anything earlier. Being selected is one thing, but being able to control such a huge city is another."


    Bai Ze''s words could be said to be a naked threat.


    Since they were so arrogant today, the enmity between them could be considered to have come to an end.


    Jun Qiyan massaged his glabella with a slight headache.


    Ye Changsheng had always been in the position of the peacemaker. Feeling the tense atmosphere in the air, he said, "In the future, we will all be family. Aren''t the few of you going to invite us in to speak?"


    The Qilin coldly snorted and stepped aside to make way for the others.


    After entering the inner part of White City, the few of them finally saw the glory of White City. Although it had been over a thousand years since anyone had bothered to pay attention to it, the shop was still alive and well; however, after a thousand years, it had become dilapidated and dilapidated.


    "Where is the City Lord''s Mansion?"


    Jun Qianyan indifferently looked around, suppressing the shock of New China as he asked indifferently.


    "Pah! You think you can go to the residence of our city lord?"


    When Jun Qiyan heard this, his expression turned ugly, but in her heart, she felt a bit relieved. Kirin was a person with a straightforward character, and the things he said were all for the protection of the Old City Lord.


    At the very least, from these few points, one could deduce that Qilin was a loyal person. Moreover, a person who showed anger and joy would not have any flowers to use to frame others.


    In the future, he wouldn''t need to be too cautious.


    As for Bai Ze ¡­


    From the attitude of the Qilin, it could be seen that Bai Ze held a certain position in the city. If he could take down Bai Ze, then it would be considered as having taken over the authority of the entire Bai City!


    After some calculations, an idea came to Jun Qiyan''s mind.


    "The mayor is staying in the Mayor''s mansion, what do you all think?"


    A familiar voice rang out. Jun Qiyan blanked for a moment, and then a familiar voice appeared beside her ear.


    Turning his head, a familiar face appeared before Jun Qiyan''s eyes.


    "Boss!" The Octadic Snake excitedly looked at the approaching person, his eyes filled with worship.


    Bai Jie squinted his eyes after seeing who it was. The Octadic Snake was a proud and unrestrained person who did not put others in his eyes at all.


    Someone that she could call the boss ¡­


    "Lord Devil God, I welcome you!" Bai Ze hurriedly said, but his expression was incomparably respectful. However, Jun Feiyan didn''t feel the slightest bit of respect from him.


    "Bai Ze?" Di Mo Jiu asked.


    Bai Ze''s body halted, and his complexion remained the same. He continued, "Lord Demon God, you still remember me. Truly, I am terrified."


    Jun Qiyan felt their relationship, and felt that he was getting more and more confused.


    Standing to the side, Kirin was stunned.


    The name of the Demon God was truly known by everyone in the Demon Realm.


    No wonder this woman could subdue the Octadic Snake...


    Thinking of this, Kirin couldn''t help but look at Jun Qiyan with a hint of disdain. Jun Qiyan had already begun to see the kind of woman who relied on men to ascend to the throne.


    "These demon gods have all spoken, and we can only submit."


    With that, he said to the Class 4 Magical Beast, "Bring the few of you to the city lord''s mansion to settle down."


    It was only natural and proper for Jun Qiyan to live in the City Lord''s Mansion, but in Bai Ze''s eyes, it was because she was afraid of Di Mo Jiu that she decided to let these people live in the City Lord''s Mansion.


    When Kirin heard this, he felt extremely dissatisfied. He didn''t care if the other side was a Demon God or his own boss. Without thinking, he began to shout loudly.


    "How can someone like them enter the City Lord''s Mansion?" "This is simply blasphemy ¡­"


    Kirin still wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Bai Ze.


    "Shut up!"


    The veins on Bai Ze''s forehead were bulging as he looked at the Qilin with a disappointing gaze.


    After Di Mo Jiu left, Bai Ze asked, "Do you know who that is?"


    Qilin frowned and said, "Demon god."


    "I know you still dare to ignore such arrogant words!" Bai Ze reprimanded him. They, the demonic gods, were extremely powerful. Brainless Qilins, even if they died in his hands, they probably wouldn''t even know how they died!

 C230

    "Even if he''s a demon god, he can''t be so unreasonable." The Qilin frowned and said with disapproval.


    Bai Ze only stared at the spot where the few of them left. There was no need for him to reply.


    Arriving at the City Lord''s Mansion, everyone looked at the scene in front of them with great shock. The City Lord''s Mansion was completely different from the outside; there were two high class magical beasts guarding the entrance.


    The two of them looked at Jun Qiyan and the others, and saw their father''s murderer.


    His sharp eyes wished that he could stab a few holes into Jun Qiyan.


    Jun Qiyan was certain that if it weren''t for Bai Ze''s agreement, these magical beasts would have fought to the death with them.


    "Come in."


    Hearing the reluctant voice of the magical beast, Jun Qianyan gave an unkind smile and said, "I''ll have to trouble the two of you."


    "Humph!" The two magical beasts obviously didn''t like Jun Qiyan''s way of entering the Mayor''s mansion. Everything inside and outside was like heaven and earth.


    Outside the Mayor''s mansion was a desolate area. The inside of the mansion was swept clean and clean without a speck of dust. It was hard to tell that it had been abandoned for more than a thousand years.


    The high level magical beast seemed to be able to see the shock in Jun Qianyan''s heart, and arrogantly raised his chin and said, "We clean this place every day. Even if you are the city lord assigned by the Tanas Academy and we don''t recognize you in our hearts, you will only die in name only."


    Jun Qiyan smiled, not at all angered by the words of the Senior League. If they built a place for him to live, then he would have a headache as long as they acknowledged him as the City Lord.


    It seemed that these magical beasts shared the same temperament as the qilin.


    Only after the high-ranked magic beast had left did everyone settle down.


    Jun Qiyan said in a low voice, "I''ve been busy the whole day. You should all rest well. I''m afraid there will be a fierce battle tomorrow."


    Right now, the most troublesome person in White City was only Bai Ze.


    Of course, Jing Ji Bai didn''t listen to Jun Qianyan''s departure. Instead, he sat down on a chair and made a pot of tea for himself.


    "Sister Jun, do you have anything to say to us?" Ye Changsheng looked straight at Jun Qianyan, who was not far from him, with a profound look in his eyes.


    Jun Qiyan wrinkled his brow in confusion, not understanding the meaning behind Ye Changsheng''s words.


    Feng Chen Lang slammed his hand on the table, then glanced at Di Mo Jiu, who was standing beside Jun Qianyan, as a hint to her.


    "Do you have any explanation for Mo Jiu''s identity?"


    Beijing''s Ji Bai said as he held his arm.


    Jun Qiyan''s heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly realized that Bai Ze had already completely exposed them.


    "Eh ¡­" Old man Jun Qiyan didn''t know how to explain Jiu Zun''s identity.


    "If it''s inconvenient to say it, then forget it." It was rare for Gu Yao to not have a feud with Jun Qianyin.


    He only shot a glance at Jun Qiyan, and then acted as if he was going to leave.


    Jun Qiyan looked at Di Mo Jiu for a moment, then spoke up with his approval, "Ninth Master''s identity is just as you''ve heard ¡­"


    "He is the pavilion master of the Divine Arts Pavilion, also known as the demon god."


    After he had finished speaking, the surroundings fell into silence. Feng Chenlang and the rest looked at Di Mo Jiu with fear in their eyes.


    Feng Chenlang subconsciously pulled Jun Qiyan behind him, adopting a cautious posture.


    One could not blame them for being too nervous. The title of demon god was not a good title in the East Peak Mainland.


    In the East Peak Mainland, the title "God of Mo" was a title that no one knew about, and it was an extremely mysterious existence. No one knew what a stranger looked like, and some people felt that the title "Devil God" was just a legend.


    In the family, there was even an old man who used a demonic god to scare the disobedient children.


    Even Feng Chenlang and the others were not spared.


    Thus, their fear of the demon gods immediately made everyone alert.


    Although Bai Ze had just named Di Mo Jiu the Godfiend, hearing others acknowledge him as Di Mo Jiu was still a different story.


    "Don''t be nervous, he won''t hurt anyone ¡­"


    Everyone: "..."


    What was with this feeling of defending one''s own pet?


    Ye Changsheng laughed with some difficulty, then turned around and said to the crowd behind him, "Whether it''s the demonic god or the youth that spent his time with us, Mo Jiu is still alone. He has never hurt us, but he has saved us many times in the midst of water and fire ¡­"


    Ye Changsheng''s words echoed in the quiet room for a long time.


    Feng Chenlang slightly loosened his grip on Jun Qiyan''s hand, since he had also realized his overbearing actions.


    Beijing''s Ji Bai looked at Di Mo Jiu, who was standing in front of him. He pursed his lips and continued, "I''m sorry."


    Di Mo Jiu raised his eyebrows, accepting the apology.


    Only then did Jun Qianyan let out a sigh of relief. Although she looked shocked on the surface, she did not know that her heart was already in turmoil.


    On one side was his brother, and on the other was his lover. No one could make a decision.


    "Qiyan, you are awesome!" You can even control a man like the Demon God. F * ck you, you''re practically my idol! "


    Feng Chenlang was stunned for a moment. Then, as if he had discovered something extraordinary, he jumped up from his chair and grabbed Jun Qiyan''s shoulder as he spoke with a face full of admiration.


    Jun Qiyan: "¡­"


    One had to say that Feng Chenlang''s thought process was different from others''.


    Beijing''s Ji Bai also helplessly covered his face. After a long while, he said, "You have to treat her well ¡­" If we find out that you have betrayed her, even if we were to be smashed to pieces, we will chase you to the end! "


    Jing Jubai said this very seriously, with determination in his eyes that could not be compared with a normal person''s.


    Feng Chen Lang also put away his joking expression, and looked seriously at Di Mo Jiu. Gu Yao also did not say anything, agreeing with Ji Bai''s words.


    All of them, including Gu Yao, had long treated Jun Qianyan as their own sister. Since Jun Qianyan was already with Di Mo Jiu, no matter how much disagreement they had with him, they had already swallowed it down.


    As a demon god, he had no idea how many dangers he would encounter every time.


    Jun Qiyan would definitely be implicated if he followed her, but since Jun Qianyan had already decided on Di Mo Jiu, they could only give him their blessings.


    However, if Jun Qiyan took such a huge risk and still couldn''t get her happiness back, the few of them naturally wouldn''t let Di Mo Jiu off.


    Di Mo Jiu also stopped joking, he said word by word, "I will definitely take good care of her. Even if it costs me my life, I will not refuse!"


    Since the words of Di Mo Jiu had come to this point, the rest of them also felt relieved.

 C231

    "Right now, we are the only humans in the entire White City. We need to bring in a group of humans." The capital''s Ji Bai said with a deep voice. His brows were covered in dark, worried clouds.


    It was not difficult to recruit manpower, but if the first batch of manpower could be trusted, they would become the backbone of White City in the future.


    "I have a good team of candidates."


    After thinking for a moment, Jun Qiyan turned around and spoke to the people behind her as if she had thought of something.


    The next day, Jun Qiyan called several people into the room to discuss policy.


    He raised his eyes and looked at Jun Qiyan.


    Jun Qiyan raised her gaze and continued, "Do you remember the Blizzard Mercenary Company? "Lin Hu, I once saved their lives."


    Feng Chen Lang opened his mouth after a while: "Are you talking about the Lin Hu that you saved in the Howling Forest that time?"


    With Feng Chen Lang''s reminder, everyone else had their own impressions of him.


    "It''s just that the Mercenary Guild isn''t that close to us ¡­" "How do you plan to go?"


    Ji Bai frowned and asked in a deep voice.


    Jun Qiyan thought about it for a moment and said, "I have my ways, but I need you to ¡­"


    Before Jun Qianyan could finish his words, his eyes swept over the crowd. All of the people present nodded their heads, indicating that they would take care of the White City.


    Jun Qiyan stood in front of the grand hall as the winds and clouds surged.


    Her black hair was neatly tied up into a bun. Her bright red makeup was arrogant and flirtatious, like a Resurrection Lily blooming in hell.


    The wind blew, causing Jun Qiyan''s clothes to flutter. She raised her head to look at the palace. On the door was carved the words "Mercenary Guild".


    Di Mo Jiu stood by Jun Qiyan''s side, taller than her by a full head. He was also wearing a long black robe, exuding a sharp aura.


    The two stood together like fairies out of a painting, like ghosts crawling out of hell.


    "Lin Hu is inside. Go in."


    Jun Qianyan turned his head and spoke to Di Mo Jiu in a low voice. Then, he took the lead to step onto the stairs. Di Mo Jiu looked at Jun Qianyan''s back, strode forward and followed him.


    Jun Qiyan walked up to the tightly shut scarlet door and lightly pressed the golden lock with his right hand, injecting a bit of spirit energy into it.


    The tightly shut door slowly opened as if it was bestowed with a life of its own, and the true face of the Mercenary Guild slowly revealed itself before the two of them.


    The white robed man waiting at the front desk hurriedly went up to Jun Qianyan and Di Mo Jiu, flattering them.


    "Does young master want mercenaries?" Our Mercenary Guild is one of the top Mercenary Clubs, and we have all the Mercenary Attributes, you can have whatever you want. "


    Jun Qiyan and Di Mo Jiu both had a cold personality as they looked at the inside of the Mercenary Guild.


    The white robed man saw that the two of them were ignoring him and spoke again, "Young noble, you can call me Miss Sang Bai. If you two aren''t mercenaries, what equipment do you want to buy? "It''s not just bragging. We, the mercenaries, have all sorts of equipment that we want. You two, what do you want ¡­"


    Jun Qiyan slightly raised her eyebrows as she felt that this was too noisy and annoying, so she interrupted his words: "We are looking for Lin Hu, where is he?"


    Sang Bai heard this and was slightly surprised. Lin Hu''s group was one of the best in the Mercenary Union so if they wanted to hire them then it would cost a lot of money.


    Moreover, Lin Hu, this Buddha, was not one to easily meet guests and taking up orders was all about mood. He was especially picky about not paying too much fees.


    Sang Bai looked at the two people in front of him from head to toe, they did not appear to be people who could not afford the commission, but it was a pity that Lin Hu was cultivating in seclusion today.


    He shook his head regretfully, "Brother Hu, he is training behind closed doors today. He did not accept the order, please go back."


    Jun Qiyan definitely would not have come here for nothing. His tone was a bit tough, "I''m his friend. I''ll have to trouble you to tell him that Jun Qiyan has something important to discuss with him."


    "This ¡­" Sang Bai scratched his head awkwardly. Lin Hu was just like his name, he had a bad temper like a tiger. If he recklessly ran over to disturb his training, he would definitely be scolded like a dog.


    Di Mo Jiu looked at him from the side, seemingly getting impatient. He took out a money bag from his big sleeves and threw it into Sang Bai''s arms.


    Sang Bai subconsciously caught it. When he saw the purse in his arms and was about to reject the bribe, who knew that he would weigh it in his hand? Hearing the crisp "ding dang dang" sound in the purse, he immediately beamed with joy.


    There was a lot in the purse! This amount of money was double his monthly salary. For this amount of money, not to mention being scolded by the tiger, he was willing to even receive a beating.


    "Alright!" "Please wait a moment, I''ll be right back."


    Sang Bai smiled as he stuffed the money pouch into his sleeves, and then ran off in a huff. He even brought his customers to a resting place and left them to serve tea.


    Jun Qiyan looked at Sang Bai''s back as he ran away, then raised her head to look at the icily arrogant face of the man beside her, and gave an inexplicable smile.


    "What are you laughing at?"


    Di Mo Jiu lowered his head and looked at the woman beside him. There was a piece of cloth tied at the end of her hair. Di Mo Jiu raised his hand and brushed it away for her.


    Jun Qiyan did not know what was going on. His heart trembled as he looked at his actions, and his face slightly blushed. This was ¡­ Scratching his head?


    Jun Qiyan felt his cheeks turn hot as he turned his head away guiltily, "I''m laughing at you for being a fool. You already gave him so much silver. I clearly have plenty of ways to get him to bring Lin Hu out."


    "You don''t need to worry about these trivial matters. Just focus on your elegance and walk forward."


    Di Mo Jiu looked at her slightly red ears and curled his lips. He would sweep away all the obstacles on the road for Jun Feiyan so that her elegant and beautiful appearance would have no worries as she walked towards the end.


    The people who came and went in and out of the employment union glanced at Jun Qiyan and Di Mo Jiu who were standing together, discussing something in a low voice from time to time.


    Jun Qiyan could occasionally hear a few passersby who were weaker than her discussing the two of them. They came and went with only a few words of praise.


    "These two look very compatible. They should be a pair. Beautiful men and beautiful women standing together are really pleasing to the eyes!"


    "I''m so envious of him. Where did he find such a handsome husband?" Why can''t I see it? "


    "Don''t even think about it, just look at these two and you''ll know that they have extraordinary statuses. If it''s low, then it''s possible that they''re from the royal family. Didn''t the two dogs from the village next door write you a love letter?" "Let it be then."


    "Scram!"


    The group of people chatted as they left, their voices gradually drifting further and further away. They were extremely humorous, causing Jun Qiyan to laugh.


    She raised her head and accidentally met Di Mo Jiu''s gaze. Her smile was a bit stiff as it stopped at the corner of her mouth. Di Mo Jiu''s eyes were deep and profound, and no one knew what he was thinking about.


    Her ability was a little less than Di Moyu''s. She could clearly hear the conversation of those people just now, not to mention Di Moyu. The words "handsome man, beautiful woman" and "it seems very appropriate" echoed in Jun Yunrue''s mind, and she lowered her head so much that she didn''t even dare to look at Di Moyu.


    The atmosphere was extremely awkward, and Jun Qiyan felt as if the air was filled with thorns that pricked her whole body with discomfort.


    How could Di Mo Jiu not see that Jun Qiyan was acting weirdly? Instead, he felt that Jun Qianyan''s appearance was somewhat cute.


    "You two!" "You two!"


    Sang Bai called out to Jun Qiyan and Di Mo Jiu while he was running.


    Both of them looked over at Sang Bai with a funny expression. Jun Qianyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Sang Bai''s timely appearance had broken this awkward atmosphere.


    Sang Bai stopped panting in front of the two of them. After panting for a while, he said, "Please come this way. Sang Bai brought the two esteemed guests to meet Brother Hu."


    He had previously told Lin Hu that he was mentally prepared to be scolded, but when Lin Hu heard that Jun Qianyan''s name was even more anxious than his, he immediately asked him to call her over.


    Sang Bai also unintentionally heard Lin Hu say something about his savior, but he did not hear it clearly, but seeing Lin Hu''s reaction he knew that the identity of the two weren''t ordinary so he did not dare waste a moment as he immediately flew over.

 C232

    Sang Bai brought Jun Qianyan and Di Mo Jiu across the wide training grounds. Many of the mercenaries who were practicing in the training grounds turned to look at them.


    The Mercenary Guild''s training grounds had never been entered by any outsider, and Sang Bai had brought these two people in openly. Was they not a noble guest? Or was it a well-hidden upper echelon figure?


    Jun Qiyan was already used to this kind of gaze. Both her outer appearance and the man beside her would bring her quite a bit of attention. It would be difficult for her not to get used to it.


    The mercenary watched as Jun Qiyan and Di Mo Jiu left, and Sang Bai brought the two of them to Lin Hu''s room.


    "Honored guests, this is Brother Hu''s room. He has been waiting for a long time." Sang Bai made a respectful bow, then raised his hand to indicate that they could enter before leaving.


    Di Mo Jiu and Jun Qiyan looked at each other in unison, and then nodded. Di Mo Jiu was probably being tricky, so he stood in front of Jun Qianyan and knocked on the door.


    "Benefactor ¡ª!"


    The people in the room quickly opened the door upon hearing the noise, and the moment they opened the door they saw a bright and beautiful smile on their face. After opening the door, they saw that the person in front of them was a man of about the same height as them.


    "Who are you?!" Lin Hu''s eyes were wide open as he looked at Di Mo Jiu in alert.


    Di Mo Jiu had finally seen the face of this man who he trusted so much in Jun Qiyan''s heart.


    Lin Hu''s black hair was casually braided in a manner that did not reveal his femininity. He wore a dark blue martial robe that was clean and nimble, slightly shorter than Di Mo Jiu.


    He could not be considered handsome, but his handsomeness made him feel comfortable. However, within his handsomeness was a sense of rebellion and a faintly discernible sense of scoundrel.


    "Lin Hu." Jun Qiyan, who was standing behind Di Mo Jiu, called out to him.


    Lin Hu was slightly stunned when he heard this and stuck out his head to look at Jun Qiyan who was standing behind Di Mo Jiu. Di Mo Jiu was simply too tall, completely blocking Jun Qiyan''s path.


    "Benefactor!" Why did you come to me? Could it be that he encountered some trouble? Don''t worry! I will do my best to help you. " Lin Hu was like a gust of wind as he flew towards Jun Qiyan, smiling at her.


    Lin Hu had always had a vengeful nature, naturally he would return the favor, he did not want to owe others, the dignified Tiger Lord almost lost his life, luckily Jun Qiyan helped, how could he not return the favor.


    Moreover, even if Jun Qiyan hadn''t saved him, he would have immediately wrapped her chest if such a beautiful woman had asked him for help.


    "There''s something I want to discuss with you." Jun Qiyan slightly smiled, Lin Hu''s straightforward character made her happy.


    "Then come in quickly, let''s go to the room and have a nice chat. The tea is ready!"


    Lin Hu immediately returned to the entrance and made a ''please'' gesture, causing Jun Qiyan to be unable to restrain her laughter. He was actually quite adorable. Before Jun Qi got infected, he looked towards Di Mo Jiu, who was standing motionlessly, and nudged him lightly with his elbow.


    "Let''s go."


    Di Mo Jiu gave her a glance but didn''t say anything before entering the room.


    For some reason, Jun Qiyan felt that Di Mo Jiu''s expression was a little unsightly. She wasn''t sure if she was mistaken or not. Di Mo Jiu''s mood was something she couldn''t fathom, but she could clearly feel the ice-cold aura emanating from Di Mo Jiu''s body.


    He was fine one second and angry the next. How strange.


    If Di Mo Jiu was angry, then why would he be angry? She didn''t do anything excessive to make him angry?


    Jun Qiyan lowered her head as she contemplated Di Mo Jiu''s reason for being angry. Lin Hu saw that she did not move as he pulled on her sleeves, "Benefactor, come in!"


    Jun Qiyan lifted his head to look at Lin Hu, his face had an expression of anticipation. Adding on his words just now, he thought at first glance that he would change to, "Sir, come in quickly!" It would be more appropriate.


    Jun Qiyan was amused by her own thoughts as he covered his mouth with his hands. Lin Hu was at a loss for words from her laughter. In the room, Di Mo Jiu''s face darkened when he heard her laughter.


    Di Mo Jiu''s ice-cold gaze shot over and stopped on the hand where Lin Hu was holding onto Jun Qiyan''s sleeve. His sword-like eyebrows creased, as if he wanted to see two holes in Lin Hu''s hand.


    As Jun Qiyan entered the room, Lin Hu handed her a cup of brewed tea. The fragrance of the tea wafted into Jun Qiyan''s nose.


    "Drink it. Sang Bulai had already brewed it when he came to inform me. The water temperature should have just recovered by now."


    Lin Hu smiled and turned his head to look at Di Mo Jiu who was sitting beside Jun Feiyan and said: "I''m sorry ah, I thought that only my benefactor came, so I brewed two cups of tea."


    Lin Hu said that he was sorry, but his smile was extremely beautiful, without even a hint of regret. He even boasted and took a sip of the tea in front of him.


    Jun Qiyan was not stupid as she could feel the tension between the two men. She stole a glance at Di Mo Jiu''s expression.


    Di Mo Jiu had never shown his emotions on his face and he would never argue with an ignorant child. Who knew if he would be angry because Lin Hu''s arrogance was too much for her.


    However, Jun Qiyan knew that Lin Hu did not have that kind of intention towards her, and guessed that he did not like this proud and aloof ice-mountain and wanted to tease him.


    Jun Qiyan pushed the cup of tea in front of him to Di Mo Jiu, "I''m not thirsty right now."


    Di Mo Jiu''s sword-like eyebrows slightly twitched when he heard this, revealing a hint of childish pride. He looked at the cup of tea that Jun Qianyan had pushed towards him with the corner of his mouth slightly curling up.


    "I''m not thirsty either." These cold and clear words, yet Jun Qiyan knew that he should be in a good mood right now.


    Lin Hu looked at the two people in front of him and curled his lips. He did not intend to destroy the atmosphere and seeing the actions of Jun Qiyan towards Di Mo Jiu, he understood the relationship between the two and decided not to cause any more trouble.


    "Lin Hu, I have something I want to ask of you and your Blizzard Mercenary Group."


    Jun Qiyan restrained the smile on her face. When it came to serious matters, she was always so serious that it made people unconsciously turn serious.


    "Speak up, benefactor!" "Since you saved my life, even if I have to climb the mountain of blades, I, Lin Hu, will not refuse!"


    Lin Hu also unconsciously became serious as he wiped the smile off his face. The moment he heard that Jun Qiyan needed his help, his lips curled into a line and patted his chest, as if he did not want to refuse.


    "How can I let you go up the mountain of blades into the sea of flames? I had great difficulty to save your life, how could I bear it?"


    Jun Qiyan couldn''t help laughing as she looked at his death face. She patted Lin Hu''s shoulder. If she needed to go up the mountain of sabers and down the sea of flames, she would rather go than let others take the risk for her.

 C233

    How could he bear letting Lin Hu climb the mountain of blades and descend the sea of fire?


    Di Mo Jiu''s unfathomable eyes looked at Jun Qianyan. To be more precise, he first looked at Jun Feiyan''s hand resting on Lin Hu''s shoulder, then he looked at Jun Qianyan''s face.


    Did this woman have to say things that were so easily misunderstood? And he knew she didn''t mean it that way.


    "Sir, thinking about me like that is my, Lin Hu''s good fortune. Speak, what does benefactor need my help with?" "Even though I will not decline, but ¡­"


    Lin Hu paused, he scratched his head in embarrassment as he continued to say: "But benefactor, even if you are this strong I may not be able to accomplish the task you entrusted to me!"


    When Jun Qianyan heard his words, her heart skipped a beat. When she finished listening to Lin Hu''s words, she let out a breath of relief and waved her hand: "Relax, for you it definitely won''t be a problem, but you must be serious and take over."


    "Don''t worry!" Lin Hu knew that Jun Qiyan was not someone to be trifled with, and when he thought of the task she was prepared to give him, Lin Hu felt a bit embarrassed. He picked up the teacup in front of him and waited for Jun Qianyan to give him the task.


    "I hope that you and your Blizzard Mercenaries can follow me back to White City and help me manage the city." Jun Qiyan looked at him with a smile, "Of course you guys will get your rewards. White City is rich in materials, you and your team can use whatever you need to cultivate."


    "Manage White City?!"


    Lin Hu was dumbstruck, his breathing was not smooth and the fragrant and bitter tea was immediately choked in his lungs. Lin Hu slapped his chest as he coughed with all his might, his bright eyes were filled with shock.


    While coughing, the tea in his mouth accidentally dripped on Di Mo Jiu''s robe, splashing on his luxurious robe, making him frown.


    Di Mo Jiu had a serious obsession with cleanliness. Jun Qiyan looked at him sympathetically, but Di Mo Jiu did not make a move on him seeing how Lin Hu was coughing.


    Lin Hu choked on his tears to the point that he almost wanted to cry. He finally stopped coughing and slowly drank a mouthful of tea. He looked at the two people in front of him with disbelief and was momentarily unable to say a word.


    What''s wrong with this world? Looking at the young Jun Qiyan, who was actually the City Lord of White City, he stammered before asking, "Yes ¡­" The White City that is located at the top of the Howling Forest is it?


    Jun Qiyan seemed to have expected his surprised look. She nodded. "How many white cities can there be?"


    Lin Hu still did not trust her and once again opened his mouth to ask: "H-why is it me?"


    Jun Qiyan was also able to understand his meaning, after all, her relationship with Lin Hu was not that deep, and looking for her like this was indeed her way of thinking.


    But she had heard from him that Lin Hu and the Blizzard Mercenary Group were the peak mercenary groups of the Mercenary Union and their credit was extremely high so she believed that she would not misjudge them.


    "I''ve asked about you, and I don''t think I''m mistaken." Jun Qiyan didn''t have any gaudy reasons to speak truthfully.


    Lin Hu was silent for a moment, and Jun Qiyan thought that he was secretly weighing the pros and cons in his heart before saying to him: "The White City is rich in materials, it is definitely a good place. You and your Blizzard Mercenary Company only need to help me manage the White City to enjoy the rich resources, isn''t that worth it?"


    Lin Hu hurriedly tried to defend himself: "Even if benefactor wanted me to go to the border I would still be willing, but I never thought that such a good job would fall to me."


    "Then, you''ve agreed to it?" Jun Qiyan confirmed with a smile.


    "Of course!" Lin Hu smiled and nodded his head.


    "Great, then you should discuss this with the eighty elite members of the Blizzard Mercenary Group, right? If anyone doesn''t want you to help me convince him. " Jun Qiyan snapped his fingers, and laughed even more heartily.


    "Don''t worry. You saved their boss''s life. They all have candid natures and they will not refuse it, let alone a good thing like this." Lin Hu also laughed.


    He poured a cup of tea for Jun Qiyan, passed it to her, and then filled his cup with tea.


    Jun Qiyan was also a straightforward person. Without saying anything further, he picked up his teacup and gulped it down.


    "If your benefactor has nothing important to do, then you can stay and chat with me. I''m almost suffocating from staying here every day."


    After the important matters had been discussed, Jun Qiyan did not have anything important to do, so she stayed to chat after hearing Lin Hu''s words.


    He did not like to participate in this chat at all. Looking at their lips that were constantly moving together, he could not hear a word of the noisy talk and laughter, other than the silver bell-like laughter that occasionally came from Jun Qiyan.


    "Oh yeah, benefactor, what does that paralyzed face of yours have to do with you?" Lin Hu had been very interested in Di Mo Jiu''s identity since early in the morning, so he tried to probe Jun Qiyan''s identity.


    Face paralysis?


    Di Mo Jiu glanced at Lin Hu, treating him as a little brat not being polite and not making a fuss about it with him.


    "Puchi ¡­" On the other hand, Jun Qiyan felt that the nickname of "Face-paralyzing Face" was very suitable for Di Mo Jiu.


    Di Mo Jiu heard Jun Qiyan''s laughter and his cold gaze fell on her face. Jun Qianyan suddenly felt a chill down her spine. She quickly put away the smile on her face and cleared her throat.


    "Cough ¡­" He ¡­ he is my good partner. He is very powerful. I have come all the way here thanks to him protecting me. "


    Lin Hu heard this and was slightly shocked.


    Is it just a partnership? The way Di Mo Jiu looked at her clearly showed that he had some feelings for her.


    Lin Hu wanted to say something to ease the current atmosphere, but Jun Qiyan''s expression suddenly turned bad.


    Suddenly, Jun Qiyan''s ears began to ring as a chaotic scene flashed across his eyes. However, it only lasted for an instant as an ancient voice sounded in his ear.


    "Dye, something happened at home!" It was Jun Xuanfeng''s voice.


    Grandfather?! When Jun Qiyan heard the words'' something happened to the Jun Family '', a thunderclap suddenly exploded in his mind.


    For a moment it seemed as if all her strength had been sucked out of her, causing her to stand up in panic and almost fall to the ground. Her sleeves inadvertently swept away the teacups on the table.


    "What''s wrong?"


    Di Mo Jiu quickly supported her, accidentally touching her ice-cold fingertips, his sharp eyebrows slightly frowned.


    Lin Hu looked at his hand that was slowly reaching out and silently retracted it. This was superfluous.


    "At home ¡­" Only now did Jun Qianyan realize that her hands were shaking and her speech was a bit slurred. "Grandfather Ling Yin said that something happened at home."

 C234

    Di Mo Jiu''s expression was a bit ugly as well. He tightened his grip on Jun Feiyan''s waist and comforted her in a low voice, "Don''t worry, let''s hurry back."


    Jun Qianyan helplessly looked up at the man in front of her. "Grandpa''s situation seems to be very bad. I ¡­" What should I do? "


    Di Mo Jiu pinched her chin and raised it, making her look straight at him, "Calm down."


    Jun Qiyan swallowed his saliva, gritted his teeth, and took a deep breath to calm his beating heart.


    When Di Mo Jiu saw that she had calmed down, he pinched her shoulder with his broad and thick palm, "It will definitely be fine. I will bring you back to the Eastern Tomb Kingdom now."


    Jun Qiyan nodded her head. Just as Di Mo Jiu was about to leave with her, Lin Hu suddenly spoke up: "Then when can we contact each other again?"


    Only now did Jun Qianyan realize that she had almost forgotten about this matter. It would be a great loss if she didn''t even manage to handle this matter after travelling so far.


    "I will use Lingyin to contact you. You can also bring the Blizzard Mercenaries to White City to wait for me there. Just show this to the guards."


    Jun Qiyan tore the command medallion from her waist and threw it into Lin Hu''s embrace: "I''m sorry, something has happened at home so I can''t take care of both sides."


    "Do you need me to go back to Eastern Tomb Kingdom with you? I might be able to help you. "


    Jun Qiyan shook her head. "No need. I''ve been a bit worried since I was away from White City a few days ago. Take the Blizzard Mercenary Group back to White City and help me take a look. When my family is settled, I''ll try my best to get there."


    "Alright." Lin Hu could not help but become serious, his face showing a rare look of seriousness as he nodded his head.


    Jun Qiyan looked at him gratefully, then stepped out of the room with Di Mo Jiu.


    Unexpectedly, not long after Jun Qiyan and Di Mo Jiu left the room, a large group of mercenaries rushed out from within, staring at them with hostility.


    Di Mo Jiu looked at the mercenaries in front of him vigilantly, subconsciously placing Jun Qiyan behind him.


    "Looks like this is our Mercenary Guild''s esteemed guest." A charming and enchanting female voice came from behind the layers of mercenaries. The mercenaries in the middle opened up a path, and respectfully lowered their heads.


    At the end of the path was a tall and beautiful woman. She had a mysterious smile on her face and her eyes were fixed on Di Mo Jiu''s. She didn''t hide the adoration and adoration on her face in the slightest.


    She wore a rose-red martial robe that she had specially modified.


    Half of her soft breasts were exposed, and the hem of her skirt had been cut open to reveal a large cut. Her slender white legs could be seen at a glance, and the opening extended all the way to her thighs, looking extremely flirtatious.


    The clean and neat martial robe was unexpectedly worn by her in a charming and seductive manner.


    Jun Qiyan vigilantly looked at the woman in front of him. It was none other than another infatuated woman who had rushed towards Di Mo Jiu. She knew that Di Mo Jiu hated this kind of infatuation that disturbed him the most.


    Jun Qiyan secretly rolled her eyes. She had seen many women like this. When she saw a slightly handsome man like him, her eyes couldn''t even move, and she couldn''t even move her legs.


    The woman walked up to him with a dainty voice and twisted her waist in a flirtatious manner, "May I ask which young master you are? Could you leave a spirit sound? "


    Jun Qiyan looked straight into Di Mo Jiu''s eyes, not only did she admire him, but she and Di Mo Jiu had partnered for so long, it was also rare for her to look right into his eyes.


    Because Di Mo Jiu''s eyes always gave people a feeling that he had no confidence, as if he could see through the thoughts in anyone''s head.


    "Apologies young lady, we have urgent matters to attend to right now. Can you allow us to leave first?" In the past, Jun Qiyan would have watched this farce with great interest.


    But now, Jun Qianyan''s entire mind was filled with the weak and aged voice of Jun Xuanfeng, and she didn''t want to waste any time.


    "This won''t do. After all these years, this young master is the only one that I have taken a liking to. Girl, is this your partner?" Why don''t you give him to me? " The woman looked at Jun Qianyan with an arrogant smile on her face, her eyebrows filled with provocation.


    Jun Qiyan wasn''t in the mood to waste time with her. He raised his head and coldly glanced at Di Mo Jiu, who was standing beside him. He still had that ice-cold expression of his, and was completely unable to see his emotions.


    "You are at ease, my lady!" Jun Qiyan coldly left behind these words, and left without another glance at Di Mo Jiu.


    The mercenary timidly gave way in front of Jun Qianyan. This woman''s anger was much more frightening than their boss''. She even brought a cold wind with her as she walked. It was as if she didn''t need any money to release the cold air.


    When she walked past them, they couldn''t help but shiver. They really admired Boss Ruth for daring to fight with this woman over a man, a battle between gods.


    "Look, young master, your partner isn''t really that concerned about you, so why don''t you just go with your partner, Ruthie. Ruthie will definitely treat you well."


    Rusi looked at Jun Qiyan''s back as she left, revealing a complacent smile as if her scheme had succeeded. Her smooth and fair hands intimately held onto Di Mo Jiu''s arm.


    The strong fragrance filled Di Mo Jiu''s nose. Di Mo Jiu subconsciously held his breath. His sharp eyebrows frowned in dissatisfaction as he looked at Ruo Si.


    Rusi seemed to be waiting for Di Mo Jiu to look directly into her eyes, urgently facing God Mo Jiu''s eyes. When Di Mo Jiu looked at her, her eyes actually emitted a faint green light.


    Di Mo Jiu was stunned, this woman was very seductive.


    "Young master, your partner has already left you behind. Why don''t you follow Ruthie back to her room?" Rusi''s charming voice rang out from behind Jun Qiyan, who wrinkled her brows in disgust.


    Ru Si hugged Di Mo Jiu''s arm and wanted to bring him to her room, but she didn''t forget to smile complacently at Jun Qiyan''s back.


    For some people, the reason that Ruth must have was not necessarily because she liked it.


    She just liked to take things that others cherished away from them. She liked to see others unable to do anything, which made her feel that she was better than anyone else.


    Just as she was thinking this, the arm in her bosom was suddenly pulled away, and she retreated a few steps to keep a certain distance between them. She looked at the ice-cold man in front of her with surprise.


    How is this possible?!


    How could her charm fail?!


    The smile on Ruo Si''s face was almost gone. She forced a smile as she wanted to return to Di Mo Jiu''s side. "Young master ¡­"


    Di Mo Jiu saw that she still wanted to stick close to him, so he quickly pulled out the cold sword from his waist and pointed it at her neck. The cold sword qi cut into the tender skin of her neck.


    "F * ck off." She didn''t dare to move. She felt that if she continued to move forward, the man in front of her would definitely show no mercy.

 C235

    When Jun Qiyan heard the commotion behind her, she stopped her steps and turned around. She saw Di Mo Jiu''s cold sword pointed at Ruo Si. Ruo Si''s face was covered with tears. It looked extremely lovely.


    Di Mo Jiu was also a bit surprised when he saw Ruo Si''s tears. He was only pointing a sword at her.


    Ru Si was a mercenary, to be able to get a big boss woman in a mercenary union, it wouldn''t be a problem for her to rip off a man''s head with her bare hands, yet she cried after such a small fight.


    Di Mo Jiu wasn''t in the mood to accompany Ruo Si and cry. He skillfully put the cold sword back into the sheath on his waist, and then strode towards the direction of Jun Qiyan.


    "Stop them!" Di Mo Jiu''s Ruo Si suddenly shouted out in a stern voice. Her sharp voice drilled into Jun Qiyan''s eardrums.


    Suddenly, Ru Si jumped into the air and pulled out the dagger from her waist. Jun Feiyan''s right hand subconsciously gripped the sword hilt at her waist ¡­


    Just as Jun Qiyan was about to pull out the treasured sword at her waist, she was suddenly embraced by someone. The man''s chest was as hard as an iron board, causing Jun Qiyan''s forehead to hurt.


    But before she could react, she felt a wave of dizziness.


    However, she had forgotten to guard against Di Mo Jiu. When Di Mo Jiu saw her suddenly leap into the air, he did his best to leap towards her. His speed was so fast that others could only catch a glimpse of his black afterimage.


    After being hit by Di Mo Jiu''s palm on Ruo Si''s shoulder, she immediately fell backwards, heavily hitting the stone statue''s back.


    For a moment, the stone shattered like stone and splattered everywhere. Ru Si was also powerlessly lying on the ground like a rag, vomiting out a mouthful of dark red blood.


    Ruthie struggled to stand up, her right hand clutching her injured left shoulder. She viciously swept her gaze over the mercenaries who were staring at her with wide eyes. "A bunch of useless bums!"


    All the mercenaries lowered their heads in haste, but Ruo Si became even angrier: "What are you standing there for?! Hurry up and help me return to my room to recuperate!! "


    As for Jun Qiyan and Di Mo Jiu, they stood on the other side.


    When Jun Qiyan withdrew from Di Mo Jiu''s embrace, he discovered that she had already arrived outside the Eastern City.


    "Why don''t you go directly to the Jun residence?" Looking at the towering city walls, Jun Qiyan''s heart couldn''t help feeling a little nervous. Unknowingly, his hand that was hanging at his side was tightly clenched.


    "I''m afraid you won''t be able to accept it." Di Mo Jiu looked at her silently. If he brought her directly to the Jun Family''s residence and saw the scene inside, he might faint on the spot.


    Jun Qiyan was silent for a moment, then jumped onto the city wall. His toes lightly tapped on the eaves, and he leapt freely and rapidly towards the direction of the Jun residence. Di Mo Jiu followed closely behind.


    After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, Jun Qiyan lightly landed on the ground. She slowly raised her hand and was about to touch the door when she unexpectedly started to retreat.


    It had only been less than an hour since Jun Xuanfeng had sent his voice transmission. No matter what happened, she would definitely be able to save it and would definitely have enough time to do so.


    Di Mo Jiu could see her retreating figure, so he lightly patted Jun Qianyan''s shoulder with his broad and broad palm. Jun Qiyan looked at him for a moment, and then calmed her heart. Finally, she mustered the courage to push open the heavy door of the Jun Family.


    The vermilion door was pushed open, and a pungent smell of blood assaulted Jun Qiyan''s nostrils. When Jun Qiyan saw the scene in the mansion, he almost fainted.


    The Jun residence''s front yard was littered with the corpses of servants. Their wounds were full of fatal wounds, and fresh red blood stained the floor of the courtyard. Only God knew what had just happened here.


    "Wu ¡­" "Uncle Wu, Aunt Wang ¡­"


    Jun Qiyan covered her mouth as her vision blurred.


    The people on the ground were the servants who used to treat him very well, but now, they were lying on the ground. Blood was continuously flowing out from their necks, and their faces were completely devoid of any color.


    Tears welled up uncontrollably from Jun Qiyan''s eyes. It was as if all the strength in her body had been sucked out of her. She subconsciously supported the pillar at her side, but she didn''t notice that it was spattered with blood.


    Looking at the bright red liquid within his palm, Jun Qiyan suddenly felt as if the entire world was spinning around her. No matter whose blood it was, they were all her closest kin.


    "Grandfather ¡­" "Mo Chen ¡­"


    Jun Qiyan muttered in a low voice, his expression was somewhat absent-minded as he staggered forward, looking for Jun Xuanfeng through the corpses.


    The entire Jun Family had been massacred, and not even a three-year-old child had been spared. Jun Qiyan''s pupils were dyed red with blood, and the whites of her eyes were bloodshot. She could see all the tragic and bloody scenes unfold before her eyes.


    "Mo Chen ¡ª!"


    In the corner of the study room, Jun Qiyan found the heavily injured Jun Mo Chen. His white robe had long been dyed red by fresh blood, and the corners of his mouth still had dried up traces of blood as he leaned lifelessly against the wall.


    "Mo Chen ¡­" Mo Chen, I''m dying. Can you look at me? "Mo Chen ¡­"


    Jun Qianyan was kneeling beside Jun Mo Chen, looking at him with a perplexed expression. He stretched out his hand but didn''t dare to touch him. He could only call his name over and over again with a sobbing tone.


    She could not believe the scene in front of her eyes. Jun Mo Chen, who used to stand in front of her arrogantly and gently smiling while clad in fresh clothes, had gradually overlapped with the bloody and lifeless Jun Mo Chen in front of her.


    "Dye ¡­" When Jun Mo Chen heard Jun Qianyan''s voice, he reluctantly opened his eyes and looked at her weakly.


    "Are you all right? "Sorry, it''s all my fault for being late." Jun Qiyan tightly held Jun Mo Chen''s hand, and his tears fell onto the back of his hand.


    She carefully observed that when she held Jun Mo Chen''s hand, his face was a little pale. Even though he had tried his best to suppress the pain on his face, Jun Qiyan had still discovered it.


    "If I hurt you, just say it. Let me see your injuries." As Jun Qiyan spoke, he was about to lift up his sleeve to check his injuries.


    "There''s no need, it''s alright ¡­" Before Jun Mo Chen could finish his words, Jun Qiyan had already lifted his sleeves.


    The shocking wound on her wrist appeared before her eyes, causing her to stare wide-eyed at the man in front of her in disbelief. How could he endure such pain?!


    "Your hand... Your hand?! "


    Jun Qiyan''s hands were trembling as she looked at Jun Mo Chen in disbelief. She could tell from this injury that the culprit had not intended to kill him, but had brutally severed the tendons in Jun Mo Chen''s hand.


    What would Jun Mo Chen do in the future? Those two hands of his were born to take the sword. If he broke his tendons, then it would be better to kill him!


    "Not only my hands, my feet, but my cultivation ¡­"


    Jun Mo Chen looked as if he was afraid that Jun Qianyan would be worried about his safety, and a gentle smile was still plastered on his face. He wanted to wipe the tears off his face, but his hands were unconscious, and he couldn''t even move his fingers.

 C236

    Jun Mo Chen''s forceful manner, while pretending to be fine, made Jun Feiyan''s heart feel even worse.


    It was as if Jun Qianyan didn''t believe him. She still held onto a sliver of hope as her trembling hands gently covered his pulse. Sure enough, she couldn''t find a single trace of spirit energy on his body.


    "He actually has a cultivation ¡­"


    Jun Qiyan was gnashing his teeth in anger. Jun Mo Chen''s cultivation base had actually been destroyed in this world; what was the point in letting him live?! This truly made the Empyrean Gods feel indignant.


    "Rest assured, Mo Chen. I will definitely avenge you."


    Jun Qiyan bit the corner of her lips as the smell of blood spread through her mouth. She couldn''t panic, she couldn''t panic. She was the only hope of the Jun Family, and this time, she had to survive.


    As Jun Qiyan injected his spirit energy into Jun Mo Chen''s wounds, he smiled wryly.


    Dye, I''m not as good as a dead person right now. You don''t have to worry about me, just follow me. Even if I survive, I''m still a cripple. There''s no need for you to save me.


    Jun Qiyan firmly shook his head, "I forbid you to say that! Even if you are not my biological brother, you are still treating me like a little sister. When I was the shame of the entire Eastern Tomb, when I was ridiculed and insulted in every way, you were the one who took me into your arms despite the dirt on my body, and it was you who protected me completely and firmly, telling me not to be afraid. "


    When Jun Qiyan thought back to what happened in the past, she still felt that everything was beautiful. She smiled foolishly, "At that time, you never abandoned me, so how can I abandon you now? I will definitely cure you. "


    Once Jun Qiyan had recovered from Jun Mo Chen''s illness, Di Mo Jiu helped her look after him. She was really afraid that Jun Mo Chen would do something stupid if his emotions were unstable.


    She didn''t dare to waste a second and immediately went to find Jun Xuanfeng. Perhaps she had squatted for too long, but the moment she got up, her vision went dark and she almost fell down.


    He looked at the woman in his arms and wished that he could take her away immediately. He could not bear to see the depressed and desperate look on Jun Qianyan''s face, but he also knew that if he did so, she would hate him even more.


    "He''ll definitely be fine. He''ll definitely be stronger."


    Di Moyu didn''t do anything in the end. His hot, thick and big palm pressed Jun Qiyan''s small hand. Jun Qianyan didn''t feel any pain; instead, she felt more confident and safer.


    Jun Qianyan searched the entire Jun Family but couldn''t find any trace of Jun Xuanfeng. Jun Qianyan looked at the great hall in front of her; this was the only place in the Jun Family that she had yet to find.


    As Jun Qiyan pushed open the door to the great hall, the dust within the huge hall fluttered visibly in the bright light that seeped into the great hall through the paper windows.


    The main hall was empty. Every step Jun Qiyan took on the wooden floor would make a terrifying sound.


    Jun Xuanfeng, who was lying on the ground behind the main seat, had half opened his eyes, and his weak breathing nearly made him unable to hear it himself.


    Was his life going to end like this?


    In his entire life, he did not have any regrets. The only thing that made him uneasy was that he had been dyed in blood. Dye had never had a cultivation base since he was young, so the people of the East Tomb mocked him as trash.


    Now that he finally awakened, he didn''t have the time to take a look at his dye. He didn''t have the time to see his darling dye and marry ¡­


    He left just like that? He was unwilling, he was unwilling ¡­


    Jun Xuanfeng helplessly closed his eyes in despair as he welcomed death.


    When Jun Qiyan reached the front of the seat of honor, her eyes fell upon a pool of dried blood on the side of the seat of honor. The pure white walls were also splashed with drops of dried blood.


    Jun Qiyan slowly pulled out the sword hilt on his waist, and carefully walked step by step towards the back of the main seat.


    "Grandfather!"


    When she saw the person lying behind the main seat, she hurriedly sheathed her sword back into its scabbard and ran forward to check Jun Xuanfeng''s pulse.


    There was also the faint heartbeat, and the hope of being saved, that everything would come in time.


    "Grandfather, can you hear me? I''m back! "


    Jun Xuanfeng seemed to have fallen into a coma, and Jun Qianyan didn''t dare to touch him too heavily for fear of causing further harm. She first stopped the bleeding for Jun Xuanfeng, then took out the emergency medicine that he had brought along with his, and fed it to him.


    It was said that only words could refine this medicine. Jun Qiyan had originally wanted to use it to protect his life, but now, it was obvious that Jun Xuanfeng needed to use it even more.


    "Dye, have you returned?"


    Jun Xuanfeng opened his turbid eyes and looked at the girl in front of him in a daze.


    "I''m back, my grandpa is back. It''s all my fault for not coming back earlier, it''s all my fault."


    Jun Xuanfeng regained his consciousness, and like a child who had finally found his home, Jun Qianyan threw himself into Jun Xuanfeng''s arms and cried bitterly, "I almost ¡­ I almost didn''t have a grandfather."


    Jun Xuanfeng lightly patted Jun Qiyan''s back, and said with a loving look on his face: "It''s alright, grandfather is glad that I haven''t returned home. The Jun Family will only be rejuvenated if you continue to live."


    Jun Xuanyin suddenly pushed Jun Qianyan aside, and his chest violently rose and fell as he coughed in a heart-wrenching manner. As he knelt beside Jun Xuanyin, he lightly patted his back to help him vent his anger; he never expected that Jun Xuanfeng would actually spit out a mouthful of black and purple blood.


    "Grandfather!" Jun Qiyan turned pale with fright. "What''s going on?"


    Jun Xuanfeng shook his head, then used his sleeve to wipe off the blood from the corner of his mouth, "It''s nothing. It''s probably because you gave me the medicine just now, so I feel much better when I spit it out."


    Jun Qianyan had never taken this kind of medicine before. She didn''t know what kind of state he should be in after taking this medicine, but when Jun Xuanfeng said that he felt much better, she heaved a sigh of relief.


    "Is it the Sword Spirit Sect that slaughtered my sect?"


    Jun Qianyan tightly stared at Jun Xuanfeng. She really couldn''t think of anyone in the Sword Spirit Sect who could still take revenge on her.


    The Sword Spirit Sect had violated the ethics of heaven by secretly capturing innocent people and conducting human experiments. After she discovered them, they had actually wanted to kill her to silence her.


    How could such a wicked and mad religion remain in this world? From the moment she set fire to the Sword Spirit Sect''s human experiment lab, she knew that the Sword Spirit Sect wouldn''t let her off and would definitely take revenge on her.


    However, Jun Qiyan didn''t expect that the Sword Spirit Sect would actually resort to such a despicable method. They actually didn''t seek revenge on her and instead extended their Demon Claw to his family.

 C237

    "Dye, you did well. Grandpa won''t blame you."


    Jun Xuanfeng gently patted the back of Jun Qianyan''s hand; he felt that Jun Qianyan was doing the right thing. If he were to run into the Sword Spirit Sect''s human laboratory, he would definitely do the same thing.


    "But because of me, the appearance of our family is all because of me. Over a hundred lives of the Jun Family have been lost because of me, including you and Mo Chen." Jun Qiyan wiped away his tears.


    "Everything has happened. Even blaming yourself wouldn''t help." Jun Xuanfeng sighed, he could not blame Jun Qianyan for everything that had happened, but it was truly a pity for Jun Mo Chen.


    "Don''t worry!" I will definitely avenge my grandfather and Mo Chen! I want the Sword Spirit Sect to become a pile of ruins! "


    The Sword Spirit Sect dared to touch her family, so they must pay the price for doing so. She could tolerate everything except for being targeted by others.


    "Dye, grandpa only wants you to be safe."


    "But I cannot tolerate others touching my most important person." Jun Qiyan bit her lips, and in the next moment, the look in her eyes that she was looking at Jun Xuanfeng became gentle. "Grandfather, don''t worry; I will definitely pay attention to my own safety. I want to see grandfather live to the age of ten million."


    Jun Qiyan said as he helped Jun Xuanfeng up. After taking the medicinal pellets, his condition seemed to have improved a lot.


    Jun Qianyan brought Jun Xuanfeng and the others to the main entrance of the Jun residence. She turned around to look at the tragic sight of the mansion, and realized that they couldn''t afford to stay here any longer.


    Di Mo Jiuheng slowly walked out of the study with the pale Jun Mo Chen in his arms. Jun Mo Chen was about the same height as Di Mo Jiu, yet he was holding Jun Mo Chen so effortlessly.


    Di Mo Jiu had a serious obsession with cleanliness, so much that he hated contact with other people. Even Jun Qianyan suspected that he was killing an enemy on the battlefield and wiping the blade of his sword once.


    However, he was holding Jun Mo Chen, who was covered in blood, in his arms without any qualms. Jun Qiyan knew that the reason Di Mo Jiu had placed so much effort into this matter was for her sake.


    "Could I trouble you to look after them? I''ll go find a place where they can heal."


    Jun Qiyan looked gratefully at Di Mo Jiu. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, a familiar voice came from behind him, "Let me bring them back to the palace. I''ll ask the best imperial physician in the palace to treat them."


    Jun Qiyan turned around to look. Dressed in a dragon robe, Di Yuming was standing behind her. His facial features were very easy-going, and his delicate features did not give people much of an impact. He looked very comfortable.


    It was obvious that he was a gentle and refined man. However, Jun Qiyan didn''t have a good impression of this refined and refined Di Yeming.


    "What''s the use of coming here now? [The Jun Family is almost all dead now, why do you have to put on a show?]


    His ability to ascend the throne was entirely dependent on Jun Qianyan and the Jun Family''s full strength in supporting him. If not for Jun Qianyan and Jun Xuanfeng, he might have already been killed by the other princes.


    In the past, Di Yeming could be said to have loathed Jun Qianyin''s attitude. His Majesty and Jun Xuanfeng had agreed to betroth Jun Qianyan to him, but he didn''t know if it was because Di Yeming looked down on a trash like her and feared that he would have a genetic inheritance.


    He was determined to break off the engagement with Jun Qiyan, so he turned around and got engaged to Jun Yanran. He didn''t forget to ridicule her and cheer her up.


    Of course, there was also the possibility that Jun Yanran was behind her back and had said something to discredit her. At the same time, this possibility was the greatest.


    "My apologies, but I am unable to manage it. Since tragedy has already occurred, please forgive me Miss Jun."


    It was true that if he had arrived earlier, such a tragedy wouldn''t have occurred. He was still reviewing the memorial when the guard reminded him that there was something amiss in the Jun residence.


    "Then how can you say that management is not allowed?! You don''t even want to manage it! In the vast Eastern Tomb Kingdom, there was actually someone who dared to stay in the imperial city! To slaughter my entire family in broad daylight? If you didn''t do it on purpose, then wouldn''t the Eastern Tomb Kingdom have a royal law?! My family has spent so much effort to support the monarch, but now you still call me ''obedient''? You are simply an ungrateful bastard! "


    Jun Qianyan was so emotional that she didn''t care about her image or Di Yeming''s identity. She rushed forward and grabbed his collar. When the guard saw the situation, he immediately pulled out the sword at her waist and shouted, "Protect her!" He then pointed his swords at Jun Qiyan.


    He was half a head taller than Jun Qiyan, and his stature was also very tall. Jun Qiyan couldn''t even move him a half inch, but she could vent her anger. If this made her heart feel a little better, then he would endure.


    "Dye, don''t be rude! Are you presumptuous to the Eastern Tomb Monarch? Aren''t you going to kneel down and plead guilty?! "


    Jun Xuanfeng frowned as he looked at Jun Qianyan with dissatisfaction. He understood the pain Jun Qianyan was going through, but the man in front of him was the emperor! A king! No one could act impudently in front of the king.


    "Let me ask you, did you already know the Sword Spirit Sect''s plan?!"


    Jun Qiyan saw that Di Yaming''s eyes had already turned blood-red. She was trying her best to restrain her anger. Surges of shock surged up beneath her calm eyes, as if she wanted to swallow Di Yeming whole.


    "I don''t know." Di Yeming answered honestly.


    "You''re lying! If you don''t know, why did you pick up Jun Yanran and her mother in advance?! The timing is really that coincidental?! "


    "I did not bring Yanran and the others away."


    "Then why is it that I couldn''t find the corpses of Jun Yanran and the Jun Family even after searching the entire Jun residence?" Other than the two of them and me, no one else in the Jun Family has survived! "


    If Di Yaming hadn''t taken Jun Yanran and the Jun Family away, how could Jun Yanran have known about the Sword Spirit Sect?!


    Could she be having an affair with the Sword Spirit Sect? But this was not only her home, but also the home that gave birth to her, Jun Yanran! How could she possibly join forces with the Sword Spirit Sect to massacre her family?


    Jun Qianyan was about to say something when Jun Xuanfeng sternly stopped him, "Enough! Jun Qianyan apologizes to the Emperor! "


    Jun Xuanfeng had never called her by his full name so harshly before, and he knew that her grandfather was angry.


    However, Jun Xuanfeng was currently in a very bad condition, and she couldn''t continue to be angry at him. She couldn''t let his injuries worsen further.


    "Bring my grandfather and Mo Chen into the palace to take good care of them. If anything happens to them after I return, I will overturn the entire palace. I can make you sit on this throne, and I can also make you roll off it."

 C238

    Jun Qiyan coldly spat out these words. Her words were not a bluff. In the past, Jun Qianyin was only able to assist Emperor Ye Ming in ascending the throne because of Jun Xuanfeng''s persuasion.


    If anything happened to Jun Xuanfeng and Jun Mo Chen, she would no longer give face to Di Yeming.


    She had just given Jun Xuanfeng a medicinal pill that he had personally refined, so he shouldn''t be in any great danger. Jun Yunxiao was worried about Jun Mo Chen, whose cultivation had been crippled, and whose tendons and tendons had been cut off. Now that he looked so depressed, she was really afraid that he might do something stupid.


    "Where are you going?" Di Mo Jiu stood by Jun Qiyan''s side; he understood her too well. Her angry expression made it seem as if she was about to go to the Sword Spirit Sect in the next second for revenge.


    "Flatten the Sword Spirit Sect." Jun Qiyan smiled coldly. She had always wanted revenge, and the Sword Spirit Sect should have thought of this long ago.


    "Calm down."


    Di Mo Jiu was about to reach out and grab Jun Qiyan''s wrist, but it was too late. Jun Qianyan had already teleported away. Di Mo Jiu looked at his own hand that was grabbing the air and sighed.


    Immediately, only Jun Xuanfeng and Jun Mo Chen were left at the entrance of the Jun residence.


    "Bring old mister Jun back to the palace, and free two of the finest chambers. Ask the imperial physician to wait in the palace."


    Di Yaming waved his hand, and the imperial bodyguard carefully helped Jun Xuanfeng into the palanquin. Before the imperial bodyguard could even touch Jun Xuanfeng, he spat out a mouthful of blood.


    Just now when Jun Qiyan was present, he had been suppressing the discomfort of his body, using his inner body to suppress the blood that was rushing up his throat.


    Jun Xuanfeng didn''t want her to worry about him. He understood his granddaughter, and knew that she was only one step away from collapse. Now that Jun Qianyan had left, Jun Xuanfeng couldn''t suppress the blood in his throat any longer and spat out a mouthful of old blood.


    "Grandfather!"


    "Mr. Jun!"


    Both Di Yeming and Jun Mo Chen shouted out at the same time.


    Jun Mo Chen was sitting on his palanquin, and he looked at Jun Xuanfeng''s blood which was floating in the air, and his heart was beating wildly like a dead man''s. His cultivation had been completely destroyed, and the tendons in his arms and legs had been severed;


    If he left, Jun Xuanfeng and Di Moyan would at least be by his side; she wouldn''t be too lonely.


    Jun Mo Chen knew that this idea of his was very selfish, but he would rather understand his own life than live his life as a cripple while dragging Jun Qianyan down.


    However, Jun Xuanfeng''s current situation was not as good as he had imagined. He didn''t even dare to die so easily.


    Jun Mo Chen struggled on the palanquin, but no matter how hard he tried, the tendons in his arms and legs were broken, and he couldn''t move away from the palanquin. Hot tears finally started to flow down his face; he loved Jun Xuanfeng as much as Jun Qi.


    He had once been an orphan and had been adopted by Jun Xuanfeng. Even though he was the adopted son of everyone in the Jun residence, Jun Xuanfeng had treated him like his own son and had put all of his heart into this matter.


    Jun Xuanfeng treated him as his own son, and Jun Mo Chen had long treated the Jun residence as his own home. He had treated Jun Qiyan as his own sister, and Jun Xuanfeng as his own father.


    Right now, his mood was as if he was watching his own father being seriously ill.


    Di Yaming could also tell that the situation was not looking good. He went back to comfort Jun Mo Chen as he used his spiritual power to send everyone back to the palace.


    "Young master Jun, please calm down a bit. I will bring old master Jun back to the palace for treatment."


    As for Jun Qiyan, she was standing in front of the grand entrance of the sect. Although her face was expressionless, a thick hatred surged beneath her eyes, as if she wanted to swallow up the entire sect.


    Di Mo Jiu immediately appeared behind Jun Qiyan. He reached out his hand and tugged her wrist, "Follow me. The most important thing right now is to wait for Old Master Jun and Jun Mo Chen to be safe and sound."


    Jun Qiyan''s gaze slowly fell on the hand that was holding onto his wrist, and stared fixedly for a long time before he finally opened his mouth and spoke coldly.


    "If I don''t take revenge for this, it will be hard to quell the hatred in my heart. If the Sword Spirit Sect dares to slaughter my family, I will flatten the Sword Spirit Sect and make sure that there will never be another Sword Spirit Sect."


    "I know what you''re feeling right now, but revenge isn''t the most important thing. You should stay by the side of Jun Mo Chen and Old Master Jun."


    After all, their situation was very serious and it was very likely that the two of them would be unable to survive the duration of Jun Yunxiao''s revenge.


    If this was the case, if Jun Qiyan had not accompanied them at the last moment, and did not even have the time to see the last time, she would definitely hate herself even more.


    For a moment, Jun Qianyan was moved, but she quickly organized her thoughts and looked at the Sword Spirit Sect in front of her. The people who had slaughtered her entire sect were within the sect; she was already here.


    She couldn''t accept it!


    Even though they could not completely wipe out the Sword Spirit Sect, they were already here. No matter what, they had to give them a blow.


    Jun Qiyan shook off Di Mo Jiu''s hand, reached out and took out several spherical objects from her sleeves. This was the firewood she had bought, and in simpler words, it was an explosive. The effects of the explosive were very strong, and it was only after Jun Mo Xie had bought it that he realized the extent of the explosion, and thus did not dare to use it.


    "Since we can''t completely flatten them out, we''ll first blow them up a little, and then blow this place up." Jun Qiyan sneered. This time, Di Mo Jiu did not stop her.


    Jun Qiyan threw the Flaming Tree Silver Flower she had bought into the four directions of the sect, causing the explosive to explode as it landed heavily on the ground.


    This was a simple display of might. As for true revenge, Jun Qiyan would always personally return it to them.


    The tiles on the wall were destroyed by the explosion as miserable wails filled the air.


    Jun Qiyan turned around and walked in the direction of Di Mo Jiu. It was hard to tell which poor man happened to be standing right next to the explosives, but he was instantly blown to pieces. He didn''t even have the time to scream out in pain before a piece of his arm landed right in front of Jun Moyan.


    Screams immediately arose from within the Sword Spirit Sect. Jun Qiyan coldly looked at the arm in front of her, and then walked away without a single ripple in her heart.


    Perhaps the owner of this hand was innocent, but the hundreds of servants in the mansion and the people of the Jun Family were all innocent. She had slaughtered a hundred people of the Jun Family and a thousand of the Sword Spirit Sect!


    "Do you see clearly who ambushed us?!"


    "Look carefully, it''s the Jun Family''s girl!"


    "Damn it, the sect head has already ordered us to massacre her entire clan, and now you still dare to recklessly provoke her!"


    "Quick!" "Quickly go and inform the sect head that our dignified Sword Spirit Sect has been burnt to ashes and has lost control of its headquarters. If this news spreads to the martial arts world, who would even place us in their eyes?"


    The disciples of the Sword Spirit Sect gritted their teeth as they watched Jun Qiyan''s retreating back, while hiding behind the collapsed bricks.

 C239

    Jun Qianyan naturally heard their words and turned his head to smile cruelly, "Do you think you still have a chance to leave?"


    In the next second, Jun Qiyan drew her sword, and within a few seconds, the three people that were hiding behind the bricks all fell to the ground. Jun Qiyan was imitating the sword art of the Sword Spirit Sect: one blade for the throat, one clean and fast.


    He didn''t know what it felt like to die under his sword technique.


    Jun Qiyan coldly looked at the three motionless corpses, turned around and walked towards Di Mo Jiu.


    "Reporting to the crown prince, the Jun Family''s young master''s life isn''t too much of a problem. His tendons and muscles can also be linked together by medicine, but his cultivation base has been completely abolished. As for the Old Master Jun''s ¡­"


    When Jun Qianyan and Di Mo Jiu returned to the palace, they were unexpectedly informed by Di Yuming''s personal physician that Jun Xuanfeng was on the verge of dying.


    Di Mo Jiu subconsciously looked at Jun Qianyan when he heard his words. He could almost see the collapse and destruction of the entire world in Jun Qianyan''s eyes.


    "How is this possible?!"


    She had clearly given Jun Xuanfeng a medicinal pellet that was refined by Grandmaster Qing Xuan; how could this be possible?!


    "Miss, Mr. Jun''s chances of being saved from a fatal blow are not high, and the chances of the sword Qi invading his internal organs are even less. Please grieve."


    The Imperial Physician maintained his bow posture, but regretfully told Jun Qiyan that his neither servile nor overbearing attitude only angered her even more.


    "Trash!" How could my grandfather not? Don''t make excuses for your own uselessness! " With a wave of Jun Qiyan''s hand, all the medical supplies on the Eight Immortals Table were destroyed, and the respectful imperial physician was reprimanded with a stern voice.


    Di Mo Jiu and Di Yaming both knew that she wasn''t the kind of unreasonable person. The reason why she was being so rude right now was because she was too afraid of losing the most important person in her life.


    "Your Majesty! This humble subject is your imperial physician, this humble subject''s qualifications are best known to you! Moreover, it''s not just this humble subject who thinks so. All of the imperial physicians think so too! "


    As a physician, he was well aware that his family members would not be willing to collapse at the brink of death, so he also laughed off Jun Qiyan''s personal assault, focusing on his qualifications.


    "Di Yeming, you''re not very good at being the emperor either. You actually invited a good-for-nothing to be your personal imperial physician. If you can''t even treat such a minor ailment, be careful of the day when you get sick, he''ll tell you the same thing!" Jun Qiyan spoke without thinking.


    "Since Miss Jun looks down on this humble subject so much, then I shall invite Miss Jun to invite someone else!" This humble subject does not have the ability that Lady Jun has imagined! " This imperial physician was also stubborn. Once Jun Qiyan said this, he was immediately angered. She waved her hand, refusing to do anything.


    "Scram, all of you scram!" A bunch of trash! Stupid doctor! " Jun Qiyan glared fiercely at the imperial physician and chased him out along with the group of imperial physicians behind him.


    Di Yaming knew that Jun Qiyan was currently unstable. She vented her anger on the imperial physician, but she didn''t object. If this made her feel better, she would let her be.


    "You guys get out as well. I want to treat my grandfather''s illness myself!" Jun Qiyan looked at Di Yaming and the group of people behind him.


    Initially, Di Yeming only wanted her to vent his anger, but in the end, he wanted to accept the fact that Jun Xuanfeng was on the verge of death.


    Di Yeming and Di Mo Jiu looked at each other at the same time. They could tell from each other''s eyes that something bad was going to happen.


    "Calm down first ¡­" Di Yuming was about to open his mouth to speak, but was cut off by Jun Qiyan.


    "Get out ¡ª!"


    Di Yaming shut his mouth and helplessly glanced at Di Mo Jiu, who was standing behind Jun Feiyan. Right now, the only hope he had for pacifying Jun Qianyan was Di Mo Jiu.


    Di Yuming led everyone out of the room, leaving only Di Mo Jiu and Jun Qianyan in the room. Jun Qiyan''s back was facing Di Mo Jiu, while Di Mo Jiu was silently watching her from behind.


    Di Mo Jiu did not speak, nor did Jun Qianyan. The atmosphere was silent for a long time, and finally, Jun Qiyan was the first to break the silence.


    "I''m going to treat my grandfather, so you go out as well." Her eyes were already red, and tears were still flowing down her face. She stubbornly refused to let go.


    She didn''t want Di Mo Jiu to see her sad and weak appearance. She was used to being calm and resolute in front of him.


    Before she could finish her sentence, Di Moyan had already wrapped her arms around Jun Qianyan''s waist, slowly tightening her grip as her deep and mellow voice sounded out by her ear.


    "I will accompany you to save him. I believe that you will believe it."


    Di Mo Jiu''s words completely caused Jun Yunrue''s tears to tear up. He wasn''t angry because they couldn''t save Jun Xuanfeng, but because she was angry because they had hastily made a decision after taking a glance at him.


    If they had done their best to save Jun Xuanfeng, if they had exhausted themselves in order to save his life, then even if Jun Xuanfeng died in the end, she would not blame them.


    The attitude of the group of physicians had truly infuriated her. At the same time, she believed that Jun Xuanfeng would definitely survive.


    In the end, Jun Qiyan didn''t chase Di Mo Jiu away. Both of them stayed in the room, observing the treatment every second for two days. Other than drinking water, he didn''t even eat a single mouthful.


    "Eat something." This was the ninth time Di Mo Jiu advised her to eat. She was still immersed in the book and shook her head, "I''m not hungry."


    For the past two days, he had been in a coma and Jun Qiyan was worried that something would happen to him, so she didn''t leave his side the entire time.


    "Dye, don''t tire yourself out for me."


    Jun Xuanfeng was lying on his bed as he looked at his granddaughter, who was seriously reading a book, and said weakly. Jun Xuanfeng was lying on his bed, as he looked at his granddaughter, who was seriously reading a book, and weakly said, "He''s the most worried about his granddaughter.


    "You''re awake? Is there any discomfort? Did the wound split open again? Rest assured, I can cure you soon! "


    Seeing that Jun Xuanfeng had woken up, Jun Qianyan immediately put down the book in his hand, walked up to him and asked in a meticulous manner, while also checking the wounds on his body.


    I know, I don''t have much time left. Just stay by my side for the last few days while I stay in the human world. Grandpa will be satisfied.


    "Grandfather, don''t say stupid things, I am working hard for you. I have not closed my eyes for two days, you are not allowed to give up! I will definitely find a way to treat you. Before that, you must hold on! "

 C240

    "I did it! I did it, Di Mo Jiu! Grandfather is saved! "


    In the early morning in the quiet room, Jun Qianyan''s loud and clear cry of surprise could be heard. She excitedly took out the formula she had developed for three days and three nights, shook Di Mo Jiu''s shoulder in excitement, and then plunged into his arms.


    "I finally did it, I finally did it ¡­" "Wuwuwu, I knew that my grandfather wouldn''t leave me like this ¡­"


    After three days and three nights of strenuous effort, Jun Qianyan finally came up with the only formula that could save Jun Xuanfeng.


    She cried happily in Di Mo Jiu''s arms, and was about to get up and go to the Imperial Hospital to search for these herbs when she was suddenly dragged back by Di Mo Jiu.


    "Ah ¡­"


    "Ah!" Jun Qianyan screamed as she fell heavily into Di Mo Jiu''s embrace once again. His chest was so hard that it made her head hurt.


    Di Mo Jiu''s hot breath sprayed over her ears. He raised his hand and dubiously stroked the bangs on her forehead, gently stroking the dark green under her eyes with his rough thumb.


    "You haven''t closed your eyes for three days and three nights. Sleep first before you go find the ingredients."


    Di Moyu''s tone was filled with visible pain and concern. These days, Jun Qianyan had gone all out to concoct the prescription. Not a single drop of water was in it and she hadn''t eaten a single mouthful. He almost wanted to advise her to give up.


    However, Di Mo Jiu clearly knew this woman''s personality, he could not advise her to be at ease, otherwise she would chase him away.


    It was Di Yeming, who had advised her to give up a few days ago. In the past few days, Di Mo Jiu had coldly rejected both her and Jun Xuanfeng''s requests to come visit him. He knew that Jun Qianyan was treating him very ruthlessly as well.


    "No ¡­" His grandfather''s current condition could not be delayed. The sword qi had already permeated seventy percent of the way through. If he had one more percent, he would have no chance of survival! I can''t afford to waste a second. "


    Jun Qiyan frowned and shook her head. Her grandfather was still suffering on the sickbed. Why had she just fallen asleep? How could she sleep? Furthermore, this was the last chance of survival. She definitely could not waste a single second. She struggled to get up.


    She fed Jun Xuanfeng the bitter medicine every day, and allowed the Emperor Mo Jiu''s spirit to control the sword energy and injuries within Jun Xuanfeng''s body. Seeing that it was about to succeed, how could she stop here?


    "Right now, the Grand Hospital isn''t even open, where can I get the medicinal ingredients from?"


    Di Mo Jiu didn''t give her any chance to escape at all, he tyrannically carried her directly to the other side of the wooden bed.


    "If you continue resting here, I''ll go and look for the medicinal herbs for you. Is that alright?" "Have a good night''s rest, don''t be late, Mr. Jun, you''ve been rescued by him. You''re back to being sick, and Mr. Jun''s wounds are still a bit unstable."


    Di Mo Jiu gently placed her on the soft bed, took off her embroidered shoes, took away the formula from her hand, coaxed her into the bed like a child, and gently covered her with the blanket.


    "Where are you going?" Jun Qiyan worriedly pulled on his sleeve. These medicinal herbs were all extremely precious. There might be a way to get them from the hospital, but didn''t Di Mo Jiu say that they weren''t open now?


    "It''s too hospital."


    "Didn''t you say that you didn''t open the door?"


    "Wake Di Yeming up. We have to open the hospital even if it''s not open."


    Of the tens of millions of people in the palace, there would always be a few people who would suddenly have a situation in the middle of the night. Perhaps the person in the situation was a favoured lady in the palace, or an emperor above tens of thousands of people.


    Naturally, there were a few people left on night duty, but there were very few people around at night. It was really inconvenient for the imperial physicians to catch medicine at the imperial hospitals, so if there were ordinary people on duty, they would probably let the imperial physicians go tomorrow.


    When Jun Qiyan heard that she needed Di Yuming''s help to catch the medicinal herbs, she immediately shut her mouth obediently. Her relationship with Di Yeming was difficult to explain in a single sentence, and a few days ago she had publicly cursed his imperial physician, smashed his stuff, and pointed at his nose to tell him to scram.


    If Jun Qiyan were to ask him for help at this time, how awkward would it be?


    Jun Qiyan nodded in agreement with Di Mo Jiu''s idea. Before he left, she called out to him worriedly. Di Mo Jiu turned around and looked at her patiently.


    "Hurry up and come back, I''ll wait for you here." Hearing this, Di Mo Jiu nodded, his figure was blocked by the wooden door.


    At first, Jun Qiyan didn''t want to sleep, but after toiling for three whole days and nights, the moment her head touched the soft pillow, she couldn''t help but close her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.


    Di Mo Jiu, who was looking for herbs, didn''t care about the obstruction of the eunuch beside Di Yeming and directly entered his room. When he saw the mess on the bed, he frowned, he didn''t expect Di Yeming to be this kind of person.


    Don''t judge him by his handsome appearance and scholarly disposition. Who would have thought that ¡­


    He didn''t expect Di Yeming to be so ugly when he slept. He had no choice but to admit that Di Yeming slept like a war. Di Yuming had truly troubled his palace maids.


    Di Mo Jiu pulled Di Ye Ming up. Di Ye was also very confused when Di Mo Jiu showed up in his room. Di Mo rubbed his sleepy eyes, thinking that he was seeing things.


    "Get up and come with me to the Imperial Hospital to get medicinal herbs. Jun Qianyan has already finished concocting the medicinal formula for Jun Xuanfeng."


    "What?!"


    He had originally thought that Jun Qiyan was only a child who had a bad temper, and was too reluctant to leave Jun Xuanfeng so she threatened to heal him. Thus, he had allowed her to wreak havoc with her life and death in a manner that no one could control.


    [I can''t believe that Jun Qiyan has actually concocted a prescription to save Jun Xuanfeng!] That was an injury that even the top alchemist and imperial physician of the East Tomb had no way of dealing with!


    "Jun Qiyan has developed a prescription. I need you to bring me to the Grand Hospital to catch some medicine." Di Mo Jiu repeated himself.


    Di Yaming still didn''t dare to believe it. However, he had no choice but to believe the words that came out of Di Mo Jiu''s mouth.


    Di Yeming quickly got up and washed himself. He then brought Di Mo Jiu along to the Grand Hospital. This was the first time since he ascended the throne that he was so nervous and impatient.


    Jun Qiyan slept for a whole day and night. When she opened her eyes again, Di Mo Jiu had almost gathered all the herbs, only the most valuable one was still missing.


    "I''ve already explored all the medicine stores in the East Tomb, but I couldn''t find the Nine Lotus Dragon Returning Grass." Di Mo Jiu placed the other seven herbs on the table with a regretful tone.


    Jun Qiyan was not too surprised. There was only one Ninelotus Dragon back home that had grown up in the past hundred years, and it also had a hundred years of maturity. Moreover, its living environment was extremely vile.


    "I will definitely find it. If I go to the Medicine City next door, I will definitely find it."


    Although the governor''s speed was slow, he could still be perfectly preserved for a long time. Moreover, it wasn''t that he couldn''t use the Nine Lotus Dragon Return Grass to kill others, so someone would definitely treat it as a collector''s item.

 C241

    On the other side, in an imperial study that was filled with the scent of books.


    Di Yuming sat in front of the desk. On the desk, there was a delicate ink desk and a folded brush, but he didn''t touch anything in front of him.


    Di Yeming calmly pressed a button on the side of the desk, and the vase shelf gently shrank. Soon after, a box was placed on the shelf that was replaced.


    He carefully took out a delicate wooden box from the hidden compartment. One could tell that the items inside were very precious, and even the box itself seemed to be priceless.


    Di Yaming caressed the scarlet wooden box affectionately. There was not a speck of dust on it. He then opened it gently, and found an herb lying inside. It was the Nine Lotus Blossom back to plant that Jun Qianyan and Di Mo Jiu had been looking for so hard.


    "Crown Prince!" Could it be that ¡­ "Are you saying that you want to give this herb to the Jun Family''s girl?" The personal eunuch who was standing by the side looked at his with curiosity, then turned pale with fright.


    Di Yeming didn''t reply, but the eunuch understood what he was thinking. He stroked his horsetail whisk for a moment, then respectfully kneeled down.


    "Please reconsider, Crown Prince!" Even the apothecaries at the top of the East Tomb couldn''t do anything about it. What does a little girl like her know? "She''s just trying to be brave. Since she''s already gone, it''s only a matter of time before she goes. You don''t need to waste such a precious treasure just for her."


    The eunuch spoke emotionally, but Di Yaming remained calm and collected. He calmly put away the herbs and slowly said, "Jun Feiyan has never done anything without confidence, even if she tries to be brave, it can become a reality. Moreover, she seems to be very talented in alchemy, but it''s just a stalk of herbal medicine which is of no use to me, so I might as well give it a try."


    "Crown Prince, that Nine Lotus Dragon''s Returning Grass is used for life-saving purposes! "It''s best that you keep it for yourself. It''s hard to predict what will happen in the future. Perhaps, you might need it in the future." The eunuch was still as earnest as before. There were only a few Ninelotus Returning Grass that existed in this world, if Jun Qiyan ruined them, wouldn''t that be the end of my life?


    "Alright, I''ve made up my mind. Consider it my compensation for her rudeness before."


    Since Di Yeming had made up his mind, the eunuch naturally could not say more. He lowered his head silently, feeling even more sorry for the herb Di Yeming had given him. Since it was a waste, he might as well sell it for a good price.


    In the room, Di Mo Jiu was surprised when he saw Jun Qianyan starting to pack up, "You''re going now? I just woke up, so it''s not too late to eat something to fill my stomach before setting off. "


    "There''s no time to procrastinate, it''s not too late for grandpa to eat when he''s well." Jun Qiyan roughly washed up, then drank a mouthful of water for breakfast and prepared to leave.


    When she was about to open the door, the room door was pushed open first.


    What entered his vision was a bright yellow figure. A gentle smile hung on Di Yaming''s face as he looked at Jun Qianyan, who was about to leave.


    "Crown Prince, what''s the matter? If you do not excuse me, this subject still has urgent matters to attend to. "


    The reason why Jun Qianyin''s attitude towards Di Yuming had changed was mainly because of the matter of Di Yuming helping Di Mo Jiu get Jun Xuanfeng''s medicinal herbs that day. Even though it was late at night, he was still able to help her.


    "I heard that you guys are looking for another herb, and coincidentally, I have one here. It''s useless to keep it anyway, so I might as well give it to you so you don''t want to take over my space."


    Di Yeming generously shoved the delicate wooden box into Jun Qiyan''s arms, repeatedly sending out boxes of pastries instead of a priceless herb.


    The moment that Jun Qianyan saw the exquisite box open in her arms, she was stunned. This was precisely the Ninelotus Dragon Returning Grass that she had been bitterly searching for!


    She wasn''t stupid, as the Nine Lotus Dragon''s Returning Grass was used to protect one''s life. Even if it was of no use to him, most people would choose to keep it safe in case of an emergency.


    "My daughter thanks the Crown Prince for his gift!"


    Jun Qianyan immediately returned to the front of the furnace with the Nine Lotus Dragon Returning Grass in his arms. He looked at the herbs in front of him. He had already gathered all of them; he only needed to successfully refine the medicinal pellets for Jun Xuanfeng to consume.


    But pill refining was also a problem. Some were too strong and needed to be reduced, while others were weak and needed to be strengthened. There was no difference in the ratio or the weight. After determining the proportion, she would still need to concoct pills.


    Refining pills wasn''t something that could be done over a fire. She needed to inject her own spiritual energy into the pill, and the more spiritual energy she infused into it, the better the effects would be.


    "All of you, leave me alone. Pill refining requires absolute solitude."


    Miss Jun, do you want this servant to invite the alchemist at the top of the East Tomb? "I am afraid you will hurt yourself.


    The servant standing next to Di Yeming smiled politely. If he wanted the imperial alchemist to concoct pills, he wouldn''t have to completely destroy the Ninelotus Dragon.


    "No need, I''ll make the prescription myself." Jun Qiyan rejected it cleanly.


    She chased everyone away and left them alone in her room. She focused all her attention on grinding medicine to confirm the ratio. She worked hard for half a day to finish grinding the medicinal herbs. The next part of refining pills was the most torturous.


    Pill refining was just a matter of infusing a bit of spiritual power, but to her, it was equivalent to slowly infusing all the spiritual power in her body. During this time, she could feel the spiritual power in her body slowly dissipating, causing her to become weak.


    Jun Qiyan sat cross-legged in front of the furnace and started to pour in his spiritual energy wholeheartedly. Outside the door, Di Yeming and Di Mo Jiu were also guarding the door in case something happened and couldn''t be discovered in time.


    After an unknown period of time, Jun Qiyan felt as if she had entered a trance. Her forehead was dripping with sweat, and her body was gradually becoming powerless. She thought that it was about to end.


    "Dye, it doesn''t matter if grandfather is able to stay by your side in the end, don''t be sad, don''t be sad, after all, you have worked hard for this, the heavens want to take me away, it''s not your fault, I, Jun Xuanfeng, have a granddaughter like you, which is grandfather''s greatest happiness."


    It was unknown when Jun Xuanfeng had woken up from his sleep; but he was lying on his bed with his murky, confused eyes lovingly looking at the painstakingly suffering Jun Qiyan, and his face was filled with pain.


    His darling granddaughter had been working hard for him these past few days and had suffered a lot.


    "Grandfather, don''t speak nonsense. Even Dye has been working so hard ¡­" How could the heavens not give me face and leave you by my side? " Jun Qiyan feigned a relaxed smile.

 C242

    Di Yuming and Di Mo Jiu waited outside the door with burning anxiety, while Jun Qiyan was in the midst of refining the water.


    Suddenly, Di Yeming and Di Mo Jiu heard a loud bang coming from inside the room. It sounded like something heavily landing on the ground.


    Di Mo Jiu and Di Yeming looked at each other at the same time, and then quickly climbed the stairs to the room''s door, and pushed it open.


    Her eyes were closed and her hair was drenched in sweat. She lay unconscious on the ground. Fortunately, there was a thick layer of carpet on the ground. Otherwise, she would have had her head cut off from the fall just now.


    Jun Xuanfeng was struggling on his bed as he tried to get up and look at his precious granddaughter. He reckoned that the sudden collapse of Jun Qianyan had scared him quite a bit.


    Di Mo Jiu quickly carried Jun Qiyan up from the ground and strode to the other side of the soft couch. He gently placed her on it and used his dry sleeves to gently wipe away the sweat on her forehead.


    When Di Yeming saw this, he was shocked. He knew very well that Di Mo Jiu was a germaphobic person. He hated it when his body was stained with other people''s secretions. Sweat and tears dripped down his face.


    Di Yuming stepped forward to comfort Jun Xuanfeng, who had been anxious to get down from his bed and join Jun Qianyan at his side. "Sir Jun, don''t panic. Jun Qiyan is just too tired."


    "Let me go over and see if she''s alright."


    "Don''t worry, there''s a large group of imperial physicians waiting outside the door. They''re just afraid that Miss Jun might have met with some mishaps. Please sit properly, the imperial physician will come over later to diagnose Miss Jun''s illness."


    Di Yaming was able to persuade Jun Xuanfeng otherwise. He sat obediently on the bed, but his eyes were still looking in the direction of Jun Qianyan with concern.


    Di Moyu quietly stood behind the imperial physician. The imperial physicians surrounded Jun Qiyan in layers, checking his pulse and feeding him water.


    Actually, this young lady Jun was just exhausted from her spiritual force, and was just too exhausted. She would sleep for a day or two, then wake up to eat some supplements. However, Di Mo Jiu and the crown prince were watching by the side, so how could they not do their best to save her?


    "Reporting to the crown prince, Miss Jun is too tired and has been in a tense state the entire time. Her sudden relaxation and her temporary exhaustion caused her to faint all of a sudden."


    The imperial physician didn''t care that Jun Qiyan had contradicted him a few days ago. He was still doing his best to diagnose and treat her as much as he could. He stood in front of Di Yeming and Di Mo Jiu and said respectfully.


    "How long will it take to wake up?" Since Jun Qiyan was fine, Di Mo Jiu was naturally relieved, but he was concerned about when she would wake up.


    "It''ll be good as long as you eat some replenishment to replenish your spirit energy and body in a day or so."


    After the group of imperial physicians left, Di Mo Jiu stood beside Jun Qianyan, his rough and hot palm gently caressing her white and tender cheeks.


    All of a sudden, he saw Jun Qiyan''s hand that was hanging by his side tightly grasping something. Di Mo Jiu took her hand and wanted to pry it open to see what it was, but even if she fainted, she still consciously held onto what was in her hand tightly.


    What could it be that made Jun Qianyan such a treasure? Di Mo Jiu had to waste so much effort to not hurt her. He opened her hand and completely removed the object in her palm.


    It was a medicinal pill wrapped in a handkerchief. He probably noticed that something was wrong with his body when he took it out and held it tightly in his hand.


    Di Mo Jiu gave the medicinal pellets to the imperial physician for them to feed to Jun Xuanfeng. Seeing that there was nothing going on, Di Yaming left. These days, he didn''t have the time to take care of most of the matters in the imperial court in order to take care of Jun Qianyan and Jun Xuanfeng.


    Jun Qiyan slept for a whole day just as the imperial physician had said. When she woke up, she looked at Di Mo Jiu who was napping by her side and was stunned for a long time.


    How long had he been unconscious? Had he been by his side these past few days?


    Di Mo Jiu leaned back in his chair, crossed his arms and closed his eyes, breathing evenly and peacefully. Seeing the stubble on his chin, he did not take care of it.


    Di Moyu was a person who paid a lot of attention to his appearance. Jun Qianyan had never seen any imperfection on his face, nor had she ever seen him make a fool of himself.


    Jun Qiyan had originally thought that since Di Mo Jiu was already so tired, he wouldn''t disturb him and let him sleep a little longer.


    However, just as Jun Qianyan was about to close her eyes, she suddenly realized that her hands were empty and that the pellet she had refined should be in her hands.


    Even though Jun Qiyan was extremely unwilling to wake Di Mo Jiu up, she had no choice but to wake her up.


    Di Mo Jiu''s position was a little far from Jun Qiyan''s. She struggled to get up and was about to walk to Di Mo Jiu''s side, but just as she was about to move to his side, Di Mo Jiu suddenly opened his eyes.


    "You''re awake?"


    Di Mo Jiu got up and came to her side, touching her forehead, "Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?" Do we need to call the imperial physician? "


    "No need, I''m just a little hungry," Jun Qiyan shook her head and continued, "When I was unconscious, where was the pill in my hand? How long have I been unconscious? "


    Di Mo Jiu understood her meaning, he gently pushed her back onto the bed, "You were unconscious for the whole day, and when you fainted, you wouldn''t let go of the pill even if you had a death grip. I wasted a lot of energy to get it out, and already gave it to Old Master Jun to consume."


    Jun Qiyan was relieved when she heard this. She thought of another problem and became worried again, "How is Grandfather right now? Is there any improvement after consuming the pill? "


    "Yesterday, I gave him a medicinal pill. During the healing process, I used my powers to push back his sword qi by two times. I believe that in two days, Old Master Jun''s injuries will be completely healed."


    Tears welled up in Jun Qiyan''s eyes as she listened to this. She had never thought that she would actually be able to achieve such a feat. Even during those few days when she was at a loss while researching the formula, she had still thought that she was imagining things.


    She actually did it!


    Tears were streaming down Jun Qiyan''s face, but she did not do anything to hurt Dajia. She said something to Di Mo Jiu with a joyful smile and tears on her face, "I really did it."


    Di Moyu was dumbfounded. He then stretched out his hand and fondly rubbed Jun Qianyan''s head, "Yes, you really did it."


    When the imperial physician heard that Jun Qiyan was awake, he rushed over to pay a visit.


    Jun Qiyan thought that the imperial physician was here to report on Jun Xuanfeng''s injuries, so she let him in. She didn''t expect him to kneel down so quickly, which almost scared her to the point that she spat a mouthful of soup on his face.


    "Miss Jun! This humble subject came here to apologize to you! " The imperial physician wanted to kowtow to Jun Qiyan at this point, so Jun Qianyan quickly put down her bowl and stepped forward to stop him.

 C243

    "This ¡­"


    However, Di Mo Jiu didn''t have the intention of helping her. In Di Mo Jiu''s eyes, this imperial physician was disrespectful to Jun Yunyan previously, so it was only right that he come over to apologize to Jun Mo Xie.


    However, Jun Qiyan wasn''t used to kneeling down here! If he were to be kowtowed every day, wouldn''t he be courting his own death if he grew up too long?


    "Don''t even try to kneel down. If you have anything to say, just say it."


    It took a great deal of effort for Jun Qiyan to stop the imperial physician, no matter what, from kneeling down. Only then could they properly converse with each other.


    "This humble subject came to apologize to Miss Jun for overestimating my strength and being disrespectful a few days ago. This humble subject did not recognize Mt. Tai and was looking down on Miss Jun that day. Please grant me your punishment!"


    He knew that Jun Qiyan would naturally not remember his sins, but the truth was that he was the one who was feeling sorry for himself.


    "This ¡­" I already don''t care about such small matters. I still need to apologize for my rudeness to you a few days ago. That day, I was really too impatient, which was why I spoke rudely to you. Don''t mind it too much. "


    Jun Qiyan shook her hand. Only now that the matter was resolved did she realize how rude she had been at that time. She also needed to apologize and express her gratitude to Di Yuming when the time came.


    "It is normal for this humble subject to understand your emotions at that time. As long as you do not blame this humble subject, I am relieved." The imperial physician smiled and nodded. He straightened his body and looked at Jun Qianyan. The smile on his face didn''t diminish as he stood there without any intention of leaving.


    Jun Qiyan looked at him and probably realized that he had something else to say. She put down the teacup in her hand and said with a smile, "If you have something to say, feel free to say it. I will answer you. "


    "Ah ¡­" The imperial physician was exposed, and his face immediately flushed red. He scratched his head in embarrassment and continued: "It''s like this, this humble subject would like to ask Miss Jun how you were able to treat Mr. Jun."


    Jun Qiyan blanked for a moment. Rumors had it that the imperial physician was obsessed with the art of medicine, and from the looks of it, it was true.


    "It''s just a bad idea, the sword qi is rampaging in the patients'' internal organs, I believe most doctors would choose to avoid the spiritual energy or ingredients used by the patients, but the ones I chose are all to increase their spiritual energy, and use their own spiritual energy to expel the sword qi."


    The Imperial Physician was filled with admiration as he nodded and praised Jun Qianyan, "As expected, the future of the Yangtze River pushes forward! I''m impressed! "I''m impressed!"


    Does Miss Jun have any thoughts on following a doctor? You are a once in a hundred years genius! With your aptitude, it would be a pity if you didn''t follow the doctor''s instructions. Are you willing to come to our Grand Hospital? I''m glad to have a companion like you! "You have more qualifications than any imperial physician in our hospital. We need talented people like you.


    Indeed, even he felt that he was powerless to save this patient personally by Jun Qiyan. He had to admire him, not to mention that this intelligent person was a woman. This had refreshed his perspective.


    Jun Qiyan turned to look at Di Mo Jiu. Di Mo Jiu smiled at her, implying that it all depended on her. Jun Mo Xie looked back at the imperial physician''s expectant eyes, and shook his head.


    "I ¡­" I don''t think so for the time being. "


    Even if Jun Qianyan had such thoughts, it was impossible for her to enter the Imperial Hospital. According to the Imperial Physician''s explanation, she was a genius that only appeared once every hundred years, so it was impossible for her to stay in the Imperial Hospital.


    The imperial physician had also said that she was very talented. Since she was so talented, he definitely wouldn''t stay in the Grand Hospital. The Imperial Palace was only this small.


    No challenge at all.


    "This ¡­" The imperial physician could also hear the hidden meaning behind Jun Qianyan''s words. He nodded his head. It was understandable that Jun Qianyan didn''t want to stay in the Imperial Hospital. "The Imperial Hospital is indeed too small. It would be great if Miss Jun wants to go out and adventure."


    "I still don''t have that kind of idea or opportunity. I still have to go visit my brother, so I won''t chat with you anymore." Jun Qiyan felt that this topic was rather awkward and sensitive.


    As Jun Qiyan was about to send off her guests, the imperial physician was also a smart man. She immediately replied, "Ah, yes. This humble subject is also rushing back to the Imperial Hospital. I''ve come to apologize to Miss Jun."


    The imperial physician left the room, and Jun Qiyan was about to drink the cold tea, but was stopped by Di Mo Jiu. "Don''t drink cold water in such a cold day."


    Jun Qiyan looked at the ice-cold yet handsome side of Di Mo Jiu''s face. Every corner of his face made her sigh at the injustice of God. Why was it that some men could only have green eyes, while the man in front of them was even more beautiful than women?


    "Thank you ¡­" For the first time, Jun Qiyan expressed his gratitude.


    When Di Mo Jiu heard this, his sharp and heroic eyebrows slightly raised as his cold gaze fell on her face. There was a hint of ridicule in his tone, Di Mo Jiu did not say anything as if he was waiting for Jun Qianyan to finish her words.


    Jun Qiyan could feel Di Mo Jiu looking at her with burning eyes. She nervously scratched her head and said, "Thank you for accompanying me when I was feeling anxious and anxious. My emotional breakdown really surprised you."


    Di Mo Jiu''s fingers caressed his chin. After hearing Jun Qianyan''s words, he pondered for a moment before nodding, "Indeed, I didn''t expect you to have such a side to you."


    In Di Mo Jiu''s impression, Jun Qiyan was always without desires and without desires. She spoke little and no words, as if she was indifferent about everything in the world, as if she would be indifferent no matter what happened.


    "I''ve troubled you. I will go and see how Mo Chen is recovering. I need to apologize to Di Yeming later on. If you have anything to do, then go and do it first. I can stay at the palace by myself."


    "I understand. You can go now." Di Mo Jiu nodded. He just let Jun Qiyan do his own thing and didn''t tell her if he had anything to do ¡­


    Seeing that she was unable to probe further, Jun Qianyan shut her mouth obediently. She silently walked out of the room and headed for Jun Mo Chen''s room.


    For the past few days, Jun Qiyan''s attention had been on Jun Xuanfeng, who was suffering the most from his injuries. She was relieved to see that Jun Mo Chen was almost recovered, and couldn''t be blamed for not coming to see him.


    When Jun Qiyan entered Jun Mo Chen''s room, he was sitting on the bed with his back against the headboard, facing the window with his face turned towards the source of the noise. His gaze fell on the birds chirping on the branches of the trees outside the window.


    His entire person gave off a depressing aura.

 C244

    Jun Mo Chen used to be a very sunny and gentle boy. He would take his to see the sunrise when he was sad, protect her behind when he was rejected and insulted by the crowd, and teach her a ruthless lesson when she was in trouble and mischievous.


    Jun Mo Chen was even more handsome than Di Mo Jiu in Jun Qiyan''s heart. There was a comfortable gentleness on his face, but he did not seem to be a sissy.


    Jun Qiyan remembered that for the first time, she realized that she should have regarded Jun Mo Chen as someone very important because she had accidentally discovered that he wasn''t being gentle to anyone.


    Jun Qiyan sighed as she stood by the door. She knew Jun Mo Chen''s current state of mind; she had been in almost the same state as him, except that her tendons and arms hadn''t been broken.


    She understood that Jun Mo Chen was in a much worse state than she was before. She had never possessed any power back then, but now that he did, he suddenly lost it.


    The saddest thing is that it used to be there.


    Suddenly, the bird outside the window screeched, then flapped its wings and flew away. Jun Mo Chen''s gaze was fixed on the bird''s wings.


    It can fly, that''s great.


    Jun Qiyan took a few breaths as a gentle smile appeared on her face. She slowly walked up to Jun Mo Chen and whispered to him, "Brother ¡­"


    When Jun Mo Chen turned around and saw that it was Jun Qianyan, he forced a dry smile on his face. He might as well not laugh at this smile.


    "Why are you here? Has grandpa''s injury healed? A few days ago, I heard that the imperial physician was talking about Grandfather''s illness. I heard it was pretty serious.


    Jun Mo Chen''s first question was about Jun Xuan Feng''s injury. Jun Mo Chen was the child that Jun Xuan Feng had picked up and brought back to the Jun Family. Jun Xuan Feng had always regarded him as his own son.


    Jun Mochen had always been a very extreme person, especially when it came to himself. He had always felt that if his own people didn''t excel in life, he would rather turn into ashes.


    He had been abandoned by his family since he was young, and even if Jun Xuanfeng had adopted him, he would still have a grudge against him. He stubbornly believed that it was because he was too good to be abandoned by his own family.


    But now, his tendons in his hands and tendons were broken, and his cultivation had been crippled. How could he possibly be outstanding? His life, everything about him, had become dark and gloomy.


    Right now, there was only one thought on his mind, and that was ¡ª die.


    Only by ending his own life could he end the life he was struggling to live and end his life as a good-for-nothing.


    However, after his life ended, the only people he couldn''t let go of were Jun Qianyan and Jun Xuanfeng. Jun Qianyan was very similar to him, and had been isolated and abandoned by others.


    However, one day, Jun Mo Chen realized that this girl was completely different from him. She suddenly became arrogant, confident, and outstanding, becoming the person he wanted to be.


    Jun Mo Chen knew how much Jun Qianyan was relying on him, and he also knew that Jun Xuanfeng''s condition had always been poor.


    He and Jun Xuanfeng were both people that Jun Qianyan thought were the most important in his life. If Jun Xuanfeng and him had left at the same time, then Jun Qianyan would definitely not be able to withstand it.


    Maybe he would leave with them when his head got hot.


    Therefore, even though Jun Mo Chen had the intention to commit suicide, he suppressed it because he didn''t want to upset Jun Qiyan. At the very least... At the very least, he would have to wait for Jun Xuanfeng to confirm that he was alright before committing suicide.


    "Grandfather''s injuries are almost healed, do you want to be strong too? Let me tell you this. I am quite impressive. It was I who made up the prescription to save grandfather, so don''t worry. I will definitely find your veins and cultivation back. "


    Jun Qianyan solemnly said as she looked at him. In comparison to Jun Xuanfeng''s injury, Jun Mochen''s was more troublesome. His injury mainly required a long period of time for it to be slowly recuperated.


    "I know," Jun Mo Chen caressed her head lovingly. "I heard from the palace maid that you went out a few days ago and bombed most of the Sword Spirit Sect?"


    Jun Mo Chen''s tone carried a little helplessness. In the past, Jun Yunxiao had always been a timid and weak man. However, no matter how much Jun Yanran and the Jun Family had bullied her in the past, she suddenly seemed to have changed one day.


    "It''s just blowing up their lair. I haven''t killed all of their dogs yet!" One day, I will not only take care of their lair, but I will also kill off Dog-head and his lackeys! Their heads are all hanging on the signboard of the Sword Spirit Sect! "


    "You are quite bold. You dared to cause trouble just by calling God Mo Jiu. There are at least a thousand people in the Sword Spirit Sect. If I didn''t leave quickly, I would have been gnawed to death."


    "If they dare to touch my family, they''ll have to prepare to pay the price. Who in the East Tomb doesn''t know that I, Jun Qianyan, am a vindictive scoundrel. If he kills one of my people, I''ll kill his family."


    Jun Qiyan gritted her teeth. Jun Mo Chen had always told her to change her unwillingness to suffer a loss, but he knew that she would never change her attitude no matter what he did. Therefore, he could only smile helplessly.


    "Oh right, brother, I have something to ask you." Jun Qiyan suddenly remembered something as she solemnly looked at Jun Mo Chen.


    She had wanted to ask about this since the moment she had arrived at the Jun residence, but it was a pity that Jun Xuanfeng''s injuries were too severe.


    "What is it?" Jun Mo Chen asked patiently and gently.


    "Where did Jun Yanran and the Jun Family go when the Jun Family was in trouble?" However, I have searched the entire Jun Family, but couldn''t find Jun Yanran and the Jun Family. So, did they just happen to leave at the start, or were they captured by the Sword Spirit Sect? "


    Jun Qiyan automatically ruled out the possibility of Jun Yanran and the Jun Family escaping because the Sword Spirit Sect would never let their target escape from under their noses.


    Moreover, it just so happened that he didn''t want to be the first one to leave, because no matter where he was, he would find a way if the Sword Spirit Sect wanted to find you. The Sword Spirit Sect hated the Jun Family to their very bones, so they wouldn''t let Jun Yanran and the Jun Family off so easily.

 C245

    "You ¡­ What are you doing here? "


    Jun Qiyan was puzzled, so she decided to ask. She looked up at the face of God Mo Jiu.


    Di Mo Jiu''s long and narrow eyes looked as if they could seduce people. He had a nose that was as straight as a green mountain, thin lips, and the corner of his mouth was curved into a cold line. His facial features were all good, and when combined, it was surprisingly filled with some kind of evil qi.


    Light flowed from the leaves of the great banyan tree onto Di Mo Jiu''s black robe. Jun Qiyan discovered that he had already changed into a new set of clothes. Although they were also thick black, this one was especially gorgeous.


    The dark patterns circulated on the surface of the Iceworm''s clothes, making it difficult for Jun Qiyan to form an array. However, one could tell that the runes on them were of a very high rank. She had never seen such a rune before.


    She couldn''t figure out what was going on with Di Mo Jiu, but sometimes Jun Qianyan couldn''t stop wondering if someone like him, who she didn''t know anything about, would ever come back. She would never be able to find him again.


    At this time, Di Mo Jiu had already arrived in front of Jun Qiyan. He was much taller than Jun Qiyan, and if Jun Qiyan wanted to meet his gaze at such a close distance, she could only raise her head and look at him.


    Thus, Jun Qiyan did just that. And this action, in the eyes of Di Mo Jiu, was really foolish.


    The pretty girl raised her head. Perhaps it was the sunlight that made her slightly squint. Her eyelashes were very long, and when she squinted her eyes, it was like a small fan that covered her curved peach blossom eyes.


    From the top, Di Mo Jiu could see Jun Qianyan''s white and beautiful neck, and her slightly red lips. Di Mo Jiu felt that this color was like the one and only Bobo Flower in the valley of the Divine Arts Pavilion.


    The shape of the lotus was unique, with layers upon layers of petals that could be seen through her veins. The color was an extremely alluring red, and the smell was a homesickness. Cultivators entering the illusion with flowers, fragrances, and colors were all things their hearts desired the most.


    As Di Mo Jiu looked at his red lips, he seemed to be bewitched. His eyes were unblinking. Naturally, he had forgotten his original intention and the words he wanted to say.


    Jun Qiyan raised her head and looked at them for a moment. Normally, Di Mo Jiu would be looking at her like this, but now that they were so close, she kept her head down. Di Mo Jiu was the only one left with his head down.


    Jun Qiyan raised his right hand and rubbed his sore neck. Di Mo Jiu was lost in thought, when suddenly his face turned into a beautiful woman''s. He looked at her simple hair and didn''t know how to react.


    Seeing that Di Mo Jiu didn''t say anything, Jun Qiyan also felt a bit strange. She thought that Di Mo Jiu had something important to tell her, and that this was her brother''s courtyard.


    Thus, Jun Qiyan moved a step to the left, avoiding Di Mo Jiu''s body which was very close to him. Then, he started to walk, speaking as he walked.


    "Is there something that''s inconvenient to talk about? Then go to my courtyard. There''s no one there, pay it back ¡ª clean."


    Jun Qianyan stopped in her tracks. The last two words of "quiet" were somewhat out of tune because her sleeves had been pulled by someone. This person was Di Mo Jiu.


    Di Mo Jiu''s face turned lifeless once again without the ''beauty temptation''. He remembered that he came here to talk to Jun Qiyan about going back home to settle some matters.


    Normally, the Divine Arts Pavilion would not take it out, but this time, more than half of it was taken out by someone else. If something happened, the Divine Arts Pavilion might have a small problem without him.


    "No need, I can say that here. I have come to tell you that I want to go back once."


    Di Mo Jiu let go of Jun Qiyan''s sleeve as he spoke. At this time, a warm wind blew over, and the two of them happened to open a path. As the wind blew, many of the women trembled and floated around them.


    "Alright, I''ll wait for your return."


    Jun Qiyan didn''t say anything about sending him off, nor did he ask when he would return. He only spoke in a very serious tone, as if he was making a promise. After he finished speaking, he smiled.


    There was no need for words between friends. Moreover, Jun Qiyan knew that this man would definitely come back.


    Di Mo Jiu originally thought that with Jun Qianyan''s personality, he would nag him for a while, but this sentence of ''I''ll wait for you'' caused a strange feeling to run through his heart, stirring up a ripple.


    The first thing that attracted him was Jun Qiyan''s domineering power, but the longer he stayed by her side, the deeper his understanding of her became.


    Jun Qiyan was a "warm" person. She would emit light and heat, affecting the people around her. Her heart was soft, and she valued friendship. She would spare no effort to help those who treated her well.


    Although he had a bad temper, but he was still very ¡­


    Di Mo Jiu thought about it and finally thought of the word ''cute''. It was silly and cute.


    He would probably need some time before he could return. When he thought about Jun Qianyan''s ability to stir up trouble, as well as the fact that he had bombed the Sword Spirit Sect''s Sovereign''s Mansion and hadn''t been investigated for it, Di Mo Jiu felt that Jun Qianyan would probably feel wronged when he returned.


    If the Sword Spirit Sect knew what Di Moyu was thinking, they would definitely spit out a mouthful of blood.


    However, Di Mo Jiu felt that Jun Qiyan needed protection, so he moved the spirit energy in his hand. An icy-blue mirror with a cold aura diffused in it appeared in Di Mo Jiu''s hand.


    Di Mo Jiu''s hand bones were well-proportioned. The mirror was irregular in shape, but the corners were round, as if it was made from a piece of blue jade. There was a very thin chain around it, which was about two fingers wide.


    He held the floating mirror in one hand and brushed it with the other. The gentle glow of the mirror suddenly became blinding. Jun Qiyan narrowed her eyes. She heard a ''kacha'' sound as the light dimmed.


    Jun Qiyan got used to it and slowly opened her eyes. When she looked at Di Mo Jiu''s hands, her eyes suddenly widened. The two palm-sized mirrors had now been split in half and had become half their original size.


    Di Mo Jiu kept one of the mirrors, and then handed the one in his hand over to Jun Qianyan.


    "I''ll leave the cold with you."


    The Frost Jade Mirror was a defensive treasure that he used to cut the mirror in half. Therefore, no matter how far away the two mirrors were, Jun Feiyan would always be able to use his spirit energy to communicate with it. Even though the mirror had been separated by him, his defensive power was still at its peak.


    The mirror was very beautiful, Jun Qiyan could tell at a glance that it was a treasure, but she had not expected Di Mo Jiu to be so cruel, to the point where she could only stare speechlessly at the palm-sized blue mirror before her.

 C246

    Di Mo Jiu saw that Jun Qiyan did not intend to take it. He was somewhat suspicious, but he did not give her the opportunity to reject his offer.


    He pulled Jun Qiyan''s hand, and placed the mirror floating in his palm into hers. Before she could even react, his hand had already been gripped.


    The mirror floated above Jun Qiyan''s hand. She could feel the wisps of cool air emanating from it. However, due to the cold, it was actually somewhat comfortable in the current season.


    Jun Qiyan''s hand was still wrapped around Di Mo Jiu''s hand. Di Mo Jiu looked cold, but his hand was surprisingly warm.


    "Keep it safe. If you are in danger or if you cannot withstand the attack, the cold will protect you. If you have something to contact me with, you can also use your spirit energy as a medium to call me over. "


    Jun Qiyan looked at the overlapping hands of the two, then raised his head to look at Di Mo Jiu''s face. With a slight movement of his hand, he placed the cold mirror back into the Nuwa Stone.


    When the ball on the cushion sensed the cold air, it immediately flew up and began searching in all directions. Soon after, an icy-blue ornate mirror appeared in front of it.


    The ball looked at the cold mirror, flew around it twice, and then flew back to sleep on the mat. The mirror was the only thing left, glowing and motionless like a soft light, as if to illuminate the ball.


    Seeing that Jun Qiyan had kept the cold azure mirror in his space, Di Mo Jiu released his hold on her hand. Di Mo''s two fingers rubbed against each other a few times, and the skin of his fingers seemed to still have the warmth of Jun Qianyan''s skin.


    After Di Mo Jiu released Jun Qiyan, a faint feeling of disappointment flashed across his heart, even he himself did not notice. Jun Qiyan was the same. She no longer had that kind of temperature in her hand. She actually wanted to keep him. However, she stopped herself from doing so.


    Di Mo Jiu just wanted to go home so it was no big deal, Jun Feiyan thought to herself. So she casually raised her foot and patted Di Mo Jiu on the shoulder, but it still wasn''t enough to reach his shoulder.


    "You can go home without worry, I ¡ª"


    Jun Qiyan''s lips parted and finally said.


    "I will wait for you. I will wait for you."


    If these words were put between ordinary friends, it might not be a big deal. It would have been a very normal thing to say to wait for a friend to return, but after saying this, Jun Qiyan felt awkward and her ears turned red. She saw that Di Mo Jiu was also stunned, so she took the chance to run away.


    "I''ll go and talk to Di Yeming. You ¡­ you can go back without worry."


    Jun Qiyan didn''t even turn back to look at Di Mo Jiu''s expression. She circulated her Qi to her feet and moved as fast as the wind, leaving only an afterimage behind her. Her words drifted into the air and disappeared, leaving only Di Mo Jiu in Jun Mo Chen''s courtyard.


    Di Mo Jiu slightly turned his head and looked at his shoulder with an inexplicable expression. A moment later, he slightly raised his head and then quickly suppressed it down.


    He shook his head. He didn''t plan on accompanying Jun Qiyan to see Di Yeming either. It wouldn''t be long before he returned as soon as he could to settle some matters.


    Thus, Di Mo Jiu started walking towards the entrance of the courtyard. At this moment, a sound came from the inside of the house. It sounded like a groan of pain that was being suppressed.


    "Let''s go."


    Di Mo Jiu stopped and looked behind him; the door was still tightly closed. He thought back to Jun Mo Chen''s current condition, perhaps he would have to bring back some things this time, but, Jun Mo Chen was still the pride of the past, would he still be able to remain high-spirited?


    Was he worth everyone''s expectation?


    Di Mo Jiu understood the pain of falling from a high vantage point. He didn''t know if Jun Mo Chen had that kind of thought, but if he had, then Jun Qianyan would definitely be hurt.


    Thus, Di Mo Jiu stood there for a moment.


    Actually, she is very weak in her heart. If you don''t want to hurt her, you know what to do. It also means that you can still be saved.


    Di Mo Jiu knew that if Jun Mo Chen could cross this threshold, then his mental state would definitely be improved by a few realms compared to before. He would also have a solid foundation from his previous cultivation, expand his tough meridians, and use heaven and earth treasures to temper his body.


    Now that Jun Mo Chen wanted to understand it himself, Di Mo Jiu knew that there was no point in speaking any further. However, because he was good to Jun Mo Xie, he hoped that he would be alright too.


    Di Mo Jiu admitted that he was not a good person, but he would do his best to help that silly girl Jun Qiyan.


    Jun Mo Chen, who had been sleeping with his eyes closed, sat up straight; he seemed to be able to feel the gaze on him, sizing him up and pondering, and it had cut open his mind to confess everything in broad daylight.


    As Jun Mo Chen listened to the footsteps outside the door gradually getting further and further away, his eyes fell on a large shadow coming from the window on the floor. He remained silent for a long time.


    Meanwhile, Jun Qiyan was wandering in front of Di Yaming''s Eastern Palace. The guards outside the hall watched her as she moved back and forth from left to right. Her body was still as straight as ever, but her eyes were almost glowing with a golden light.


    At last, when the guards were on the verge of losing control of themselves, Jun Qiyan walked in. The two guards secretly glanced at her back, then thought back to her appearance.


    Her long hair that was as black as a waterfall had only been pulled loose for a moment, but there was still a bewitching beauty in her elegance. Her cheeks were blended, the sunset shone on her face, her eyes were crystal clear, and the moon shone on the cold river. The dress was embroidered with Begonia without much decoration. The collar of the robe was a little low, revealing the round curve of her neck and a large part of her fair skin. At this moment, she was zigzagging her robe as she walked towards the main hall.


    At this moment, Di Yeming was in the main hall, negotiating with his subjects. Just like that, Jun Qiyan walked straight in. Although she was very conflicted outside the hall, her face was calm and composed.


    When Di Yaming saw that Jun Qiyan had come in, he was somewhat surprised. He thought that Jun Qiyan had some difficult matters to discuss with him, so after giving a few words to his official, he dismissed her.


    When the official saw that the two of them had ''eyes'' in their eyes, he shut the door for them. Because Di Yaming did not like having people wait on him when he was dealing with court affairs, they were the only two people in the huge hall right now.


    Initially, Jun Qiyan had wanted to apologize to Di Yeming in earnest, but she was surprised by the actions of the departing official. She tossed the words of apology to the side and looked at Di Yeming in shock.


    "What does he mean?"


    The expression on Jun Qianyan''s face was a little distorted. Even the gentle smile that Di Yeming had been wearing was a little off. He looked at Jun Qianyan and asked in an awkward tone.


    "He''s probably afraid that you''ll have something important to tell me. It wouldn''t be good if it gets out."


    Di Yaming twitched his mouth twice, then returned to his smiling face and quickly found an excuse. Jun Qiyan thought about it for a moment. It wouldn''t be a good idea if someone heard her apologizing, so she reluctantly accepted this explanation.

 C247

    The words spoken to her flashed across Jun Qiyan''s mind, and she looked at Di Yaming with a complicated expression. Although she hated Di Yaming, she had saved her grandfather''s life because he had helped her a lot. Furthermore, her attitude was not good at the time, so she should apologize to him.


    Therefore, Jun Qiyan was able to keep her composure as she met Di Yaming''s puzzled eyes.


    "Di Yeming, I was too impatient earlier. I apologize for this matter. I hope you can forgive me."


    Di Yaming thought that Jun Qiyan was here to quarrel with him, but he didn''t expect to hear this apology. Jun Qianyan''s earlier words had indeed angered him, but after calming down, he discovered that he was responsible for this matter.


    He was the Crown Prince of the Eastern Kingdom, and when his servants reported the Jun Family to him, they didn''t pay him much attention. He only fooled himself into thinking that the Jun Family was very strong, and that nothing bad would happen to them, so he didn''t bring anyone with him.


    Therefore, he could not afford an apology from Jun Qiyan because he had made the same mistake.


    "No, Lady Jun, you don''t have to do this. You''re right, I owe this to the Jun Family."


    When she heard Di Yaming mention the Jun residence, Jun Qiyan pursed her lips and kept silent. Her expression turned ugly, but then suddenly, she remembered something that she had told Jun Mo Chen. She immediately shifted her gaze to Di Yeming.


    "Forget about the rest, I just want to ask, did you pick up Jun Yanran and the Jun Family?"


    Jun Yanran was his concubine, so she wanted to know where she and the Jun Family went to find Di Yuming for him.


    However, Di Yaming didn''t know that after Jun Qianyan had asked, he had dispatched people to search for her. However, a few days had passed, and Jun Yanran and the Jun Family had disappeared into thin air, nowhere to be found.


    However, he couldn''t say anything to Jun Qiyan right now. After all, Jun Yanran was still her concubine, so he could only shake his head and say something to her.


    "It''s not me."


    After hearing Di Yaming''s reply, Jun Qiyan nodded and fell into deep thought. What Di Yaming said was not a lie in her eyes, then there would be a big problem with both Jun Yanran and the Jun Family.


    There was no reason for the Sword Spirit Sect to annihilate the entire Jun Family in the Eastern Tomb. If they didn''t have a reason for their actions, then Jun Mo Chen and Jun Xuanfeng wouldn''t have acted in such a manner in the first place. This meant that there was definitely something going on between the Jun Family and the Jun Family, and it was very likely that the two of them had brought harm to her family.


    "Jun Yanran, Jun Shi, I, Jun Qiyan, am irreconcilable with you two. If I don''t throw you two into the snake den next time, then I won''t be a daughter of the Jun Family!"


    Jun Qiyan was gnashing his teeth in anger. Di Yeming could even feel the raging anger and the spiritual power radiating from her body.


    As if they understood their master''s thoughts, the Spiritual Qi automatically took the shape of thorns, aiming straight at Di Yeming.


    "I''ll track this down for you."


    Di Yaming looked at Jun Qianyan with a serious expression on his face. He didn''t avoid or hide from the news. The news of the annihilation of the Jun Family had already spread throughout the Eastern Tomb Kingdom.


    Therefore, regardless of whether he was trying to pacify the public or give the Jun Family an explanation, he had to find out. Moreover, his father was furious, so if he didn''t handle this matter properly, then perhaps he would be rejected.


    At this point, no matter how angry Jun Qiyan was, it was impossible for her to vent her anger on Di Yeming. Therefore, she retracted her spiritual energy, causing the thorns in the surroundings to gradually fade away.


    Jun Qianyan clenched her fists tightly and finally calmed down. She no longer inquired further about Jun Yanran with Di Yeming, and instead asked for her whereabouts. She couldn''t possibly go around searching for Jun Yanran, so she needed her help.


    She closed her eyes to calm her emotions.


    "I still have to thank you for your Nine Lotus Dragon Return Grass. I came here to apologize to you, so I went to see Grandfather. I don''t know how his body is recovering."


    After he finished speaking, Jun Qiyan turned around with the intent to leave. However, at this moment, Di Yuming called out to her, who wanted to go see Jun Xuanfeng.


    Even a man would not be able to take a good night''s rest if you didn''t sleep for a few days. Moreover, you are a woman, and as long as you go and see him, he will tell you that he will not see you unless you go and get a good night''s sleep.


    When Jun Qiyan heard that her grandfather hadn''t seen her, she blinked and nodded her head after a short while, which was considered to have given in. Seeing her nod, Di Yaming called for a young eunuch to bring her to the Flowerflower Courtyard to rest.


    The room had long since been cleaned up and there were many fruits for the incense. The beds were thick and soft, so the palace maids had to undress Jun Qiyan before leaving. She lifted the curtains to lie down on the bed, closed her eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.


    He slept for an entire day and night. By the time Jun Qiyan woke up, it was already the afternoon of the second day.


    Jun Qiyan slept soundly, as if the exhaustion of her entire body had been completely swept away. She got up with hazy eyes. The palace maids outside lifted the curtains as they heard her voice and supported her in her arms.


    "Young lady, you''ve woken up. President An Jiang has been waiting for young lady from this morning. He hasn''t left yet."


    When the previously sleepy and hazy Jun Qiyan heard the name An Jiang, her eyes widened slightly, as if she was pondering who this exceptionally familiar name was. A moment later, Jun Qiyan suddenly turned her head sideways, and the palace maid who was brushing her hair nearly pulled it off.


    "An Jiang? "Is he the guild leader of the Pill Forging Association?"


    Jun Qiyan had a talent for alchemy, so naturally, he had read many books. Although he had never personally met Jun Qiyan, he knew the name of An Jiang.


    An Jiang was an unknown age. As the current guild leader of the Pill Refining Association, he was able to forge superior pills and was considered one of the top apothecaries in the continent. The pills he forged were usually priceless, and if they were to circulate, they would be robbed.


    The palace maid smiled as she looked at the incredulous expression on Jun Qianyan''s face.


    "Yes, it''s President An Jiang."


    However, Jun Qianyan couldn''t remember any of the times she had interacted with such an important person. Thus, she calmly glanced at the palace maid and asked.


    "Why did President An Jiang come to find me?"


    Hearing this, the young palace maid''s face reddened. She looked at Jun Qianyan with an extremely eager expression of adoration and admiration, as if she was looking at the person she liked. The words'' the person she liked ''caused her head to quiver.


    The young palace maid opened her mouth as if to say something. She first praised Jun Qiyan in admiration, then continued to praise her medical skills and profound knowledge, finally highlighting the important points.


    His grandfather Jun Xuanfeng''s injuries were rare in the world, and in the past, he could only obey the will of heaven. Moreover, the doctor treating Jun Xuanfeng''s injuries was a person who was famous throughout the Eastern Tomb Kingdom and even had a small reputation outside the country. The doctor had said that there was no hope for him, but he was pulled back by Jun Feiyan, who refused to admit defeat, and was forced into the gates of hell by Jun Xuanfeng.

 C248

    The art that Jun Qiyan had used was something that had never been seen before, so when the news that the Jun Family had almost exterminated the entire sect was spread out, the news that Jun Qiyan had healed Jun Xuanfeng had also spread out.


    An Jiang was located in the Eastern Kingdom, so when he heard the news, he immediately rushed to the Imperial Palace in hopes of meeting Jun Qiyan, but Jun Qiyan had slept for a long time, waiting for the sun to set.


    By the time Jun Qianyin had finished dressing and washing herself, an hour had already passed. She looked at herself in the mirror, and suddenly thought of Di Mo Jiu Si.


    He wondered if Di Mo Jiu had returned safely, or if he had encountered any trouble.


    Suddenly, Jun Qiyan realized that she was too concerned about Di Mo Jiu. Her face reddened, and she coughed dryly twice before standing up in embarrassment. Fortunately, none of the palace maids knew what she was thinking, so the redness on her face slowly faded away.


    After calming herself down, she asked the palace maids where An Jiang was waiting, and instead of letting them follow him, she proceeded on her own.


    At this time, An Jiang was still drinking tea in Hanyang Hall. Originally, Di Yeming had been waiting with him in the morning, but after sitting with him and drinking tea all morning, there was no one in the afternoon.


    Actually, Di Yeming was not to be blamed for running away. Even An Jiang couldn''t sit still any longer. An Jiang felt that the tea he had to drink today was almost enough to last him a year.


    Just as An Jiang was tidying up his white beard and looking at his teacup with a serious expression, considering whether or not to drink another cup, Jun Qianyan walked in, dragging his skirt. Both of them saw themselves in the other''s eyes.


    What surprised Jun Qiyan was that President An Jiang appeared to be a kind old man with a head full of white hair. The moment he saw her, he immediately broke into a smile and walked over.


    "You must be the Jun Family''s little girl, ah, a hero has appeared. Old He has already told me that you found this method after three days of continuous sleep."


    Old He was the very first one to diagnose and treat Jun Xuanfeng, and also the one who told Jun Feiyan that her grandfather was not saved.


    Jun Qianyan didn''t know what President An Jiang was thinking, so she smiled at this'' old man ''who appeared kind on the surface, and sat down on the chair opposite An Jiang.


    "President An''s praise is too kind. I was only making a few opportunistic moves. If it weren''t for the ancient records, I would not have thought of this method."


    However, An Jiang didn''t agree. He shook his head. Jun Qianyan only looked at his shaggy beard swaying along with his head, which made her feel that this old man was extremely adorable.


    "Don''t say it like that, you are extremely talented to be able to find this method on your own from ancient books."


    An Jiang wasn''t a person who would beat around the bush. He immediately suggested the idea of visiting Jun Xuanfeng, and Jun Qianyan thought that this man was one of the top alchemists in the entire continent; perhaps he would be able to help her grandfather recover faster.


    Thus, Jun Qiyan stood up and smiled at An Jiang.


    "President An Jiang is too courteous. Please follow me!"


    With that, Jun Qiyan led the way, while pondering about the true purpose of An Jiang''s visit. She was also thinking about how to find heavenly treasures for her grandfather and brother to nourish their bodies, especially the weak Jun Mo Chen.


    An Jiang could clearly feel the depression in Jun Qiyan''s mood, but when they arrived at her door, she forced out a smile and entered while An Jiang followed behind her.


    When Jun Xuanfeng heard the sound of the door opening, his eyes had already opened, and inside the room, there was only a small palace maid standing beside the bed to prevent any mishap from occurring. The little palace maid also heard the sound and looked over.


    "The colors are coming, did you listen to me and go rest?"


    Jun Xuanfeng had been thinking about the matter of Jun Qianyan failing to close her eyes for several days and nights because of his rescue. Thus, he had asked Di Yeyin to tell him that if she didn''t rest, then he would close the door and disappear.


    Now that he saw that Jun Qiyan''s complexion had reddened, and the black tinge in her eyes had mostly disappeared, he guessed that she had listened to his words.


    At this time, Jun Qianyan suddenly remembered that Grandpa An Jiang had come in with her, so when she looked behind her, there wasn''t a third person in the room.


    Therefore, Jun Qiyan turned around and said as she held her grandfather''s arm.


    "President An Jiang, didn''t you say that you would not come in because there is a need to examine your body?"


    When Jun Xuanfeng heard these words, his eyes focused on the door. "Crack!" The door opened and An Jiang arrived with a kind and gentle smile on his face.


    "This old man is not here."


    As he said this, An Jiang strode towards Jun Xuanfeng''s bedside, put away his smile, and seriously put his hand on Jun Xuanfeng''s wrist.


    Jun Xuanfeng looked at An Jiang in surprise. He recognized this old man, but he also knew his identity, so it could be considered as a coincidence that he was able to recognize this old man. In order to obtain the elixir for those who were unable to cultivate, he told the people of the Pill Refining Association about the dye, and then An Jiang came forward and left a message.


    "There is no cure, it only depends on the will of heaven."


    At that time, when Jun Xuanfeng heard about it, he was extremely angry.


    However, considering that he was in the Alchemist Association, it was impossible for him to fight the other party''s president alone. Now, even though An Jiang had personally sent him over, Jun Xuanfeng didn''t have the strength to beat him up.


    After taking the pulse, An Jiang realized that although his inner body was weak, he had recovered very well. The sword qi in his body had disappeared without a trace.


    From this point of view, Jun Qiyan''s research is correct, not only correct, and not a single side effect.


    Anjiang stroked his beard and smiled at her.


    "Your grandfather is fine now. His sword qi has completely disappeared and he can return to his original cultivation level. However, he still needs to rest. You can get out of bed and take a stroll in the garden."


    Jun Qiyan remembered the words of An Jiang and was prepared to accompany his grandfather for a walk every day.


    After confirming Jun Qiyan''s genuine talent, An Jiang took out an invitation letter from his chest pocket. He opened it and spread it out on a nearby table.


    The writing was done with a stroke of spirit energy. There was no need to worry about the words being damaged or faked by others. Since the writing could be imitated, the feeling of spirit energy was different.


    Jun Qiyan came over and rubbed her fingers on the letter a few times as she spoke and got straight to the point.


    "I hope little friend can come to participate in this Pill Refining Conference and win this competition to become my personal disciple."


    Hearing this, Jun Qiyan was somewhat puzzled. She didn''t quite understand why An Jiang would come looking for her. The current Jun Qiyan hadn''t realized how much of a sensation she had discovered in this recipe.

 C249

    An Jiang understood the many worries in Jun Qiyan''s heart. After all, the Jun Family had been exterminated, leaving only Jun Xuanfeng and Jun Mo Chen as his family members. She had to stay by their side until they recovered.


    However, Jun Mofeng was still able to recover. Jun Mo Chen guessed that his foundation wasn''t very good. Thinking about this, he came up with a solution.


    "If you can win the competition, you can become my direct disciple. You can choose any of the treasures in my treasury. No matter how precious the herbs or the Soul Treasure are, I will be able to find them for you."


    Having said that, An Jiang paused for a moment, glancing at Jun Qiyan who was obviously showing interest, before continuing.


    "Of course, you have to first win the competition and become my direct disciple."


    Just as Jun Qianyan was worrying about where she could find a natural treasure to raise her Master or Senior Brother, she looked at the invitation on the table, and finally picked it up and read it carefully.


    It read: Miss Jun Qiyan, I sincerely invite you to participate in this Pill Refining Conference.


    This line of text also included An Jiang''s name. Jun Qiyan thought for a moment and realized that she actually hadn''t lost anything by becoming the direct disciple of the president of the Pill Refining Association. On the contrary, she would gain many benefits from this.


    Thinking up to this point, Jun Qiyan''s gaze met with the smiling and amiable Elder An Jiang. She understood that this old man had made up his mind on her, but she didn''t hate him.


    Jun Xuanfeng had only been listening and not speaking a word. This was his chance to be tainted with blood, and there was no reason for him to interrupt it. Furthermore, the Pill Refining Conference was one of the top guilds, and not only was this old man An Jiang an alchemist, his strength was also not to be underestimated.


    When An Jiang saw the expression on Jun Qianyan''s face, he knew that this girl had agreed to participate. He couldn''t help but feel happy in his heart. Actually, he had already heard quite a few rumors about her during his travels in the Eastern Kingdom.


    Furthermore, the reason why he wanted to take her as a disciple was to save her grandfather. There was also the incident of him destroying the Sword Spirit Sect by himself. At that time, he was wondering how he could have such an impudent and reckless girl.


    An Jiang looked at Jun Qianyan as if he were looking at a future disciple, and Jun Xuanfeng coughed at the right moment, immediately drawing Jun Qianyan''s attention to him.


    An Jiang was in a good mood today, so when faced with Jun Xuanfeng''s'' childish ''performance, he didn''t care at all. This was because he had already been thinking about what treasures in his mansion''s treasury could be provided to his future disciple.


    Since Jun Xuanfeng had not recovered yet, Jun Qiyan and An Jiang only spoke a few words before leaving. The two then walked back along the road which led to the Pill Refining Conference.


    "Do you really believe that I will win?"


    To tell the truth, Jun Qiyan was somewhat suspicious. He had never personally seen her concocting pills, so he really wasn''t afraid of her being a vase that only knew how to move one''s lips.


    When An Jiang heard this, he stopped and carefully sized her up. Following that, Jun Feiyan also stopped to size him up.


    In the eyes of Jun Qiyan, this old man was as nimble as a hook. His hair and beard were completely white, but he didn''t have the temperament of an old deity. He was more like an old man who doted on his juniors and always worried about them.


    "I''m not sure that you''ll win, because only you can decide if you want to win or not, can''t you?"


    An Jiang''s eyes seemed to be able to see through Jun Qiyan''s thoughts. However, there was nothing that she couldn''t see through. So when An Jiang looked over, Jun Qiyan looked back at him openly.


    The two of them stared at each other without admitting defeat, and in the end, they couldn''t help but laugh out loud.


    After returning to her room, Jun Qiyan closed the door and sat down by the table. She took out the invitation card from her bosom, and suddenly felt a gust of air flowing through the Nuwa Stone.


    Jun Qiyan looked very well-behaved, while Qingzhuang, who sat beside him, didn''t know what to say.


    She didn''t say anything, nor did Qinghua. She only blinked her eyes as she looked at Jun Qianyan. At this time, the ball opened its mouth and spoke. It flew around Jun Qianyan, sensed that there was someone outside, and purposely lowered its voice.


    "Master, the mirror above my nest is so bright that I can''t sleep." the ball complained.


    Listening to the ball talking about the mirror, Jun Qianyan didn''t know how to react for a while. It was only after some time that he remembered that the mirror was the one Di Mo Jiu had given him.


    Jun Qiyan curled a finger to play with the ball''s round body, then turned his attention to the light. Qinghua had the appearance of a little girl, and her personality was also very quiet.


    "What happened? Did you miss your mother?" Jun Qiyan rubbed the top of her head as she spoke in a very gentle tone. She had always been the gentlest towards Qinghua.


    Hearing the two words'' mother '', Cai Cai tugged at Jun Qianyan''s sleeve, jumped into her embrace, and rubbed against it a few times.


    "Grandpa and big brother should be fine, right?"


    The girl''s voice was very soft and gentle. Jun Qiyan looked at her comforting pat. She had forgotten that they could all see outside from within the Nuwa Stone, and thus they all knew what had happened recently.


    These days, she had been acting alone. It was as if Qinghua''s words had slapped her on the head, reminding her that she actually had a ''friend''.


    Qinghua was worried about her, so she came out to comfort herself. Jun Qiyan ran her fingers through her hair, then patted her back, and slept with a murderer in the manner of a child.


    The ball had always been resting on Jun Qiyan''s shoulder. Seeing that the little girl it was looking after had gone to sleep, it flew over to her. The light flashed and disappeared without a trace.


    After returning from his study, Di Yeming, who was hiding from An Jiang, was informed that everyone had already left. Before leaving, President An Jiang even went to visit Jun Xuanfeng.


    After hearing that An Jiang and Jun Qianyin had stayed in Jun Xuanfeng''s room for a long time, Di Yeming''s expression darkened. After a long while, he put down his smile.


    "The Pill Refining Conference huh? Interesting ¡­"


    It seemed like Jun Xuanfeng''s body would be fully recovered by now. He wondered what would happen to Jun Mo Chen, whose cultivation base had been wasted.


    However, according to his knowledge, as a member of the Jun Family, Jun Mo Chen should not be afraid of such things. Jun Mo Chen only needed some time; after all, he was the pride of the East Tomb Kingdom and was envied by the entire world.


    At this moment, the sky was gradually darkening. The afterglow of the setting sun was struggling to come out from the other side of the mountain, spreading out into beams of light.

 C250

    The day of Jun Qiyan''s departure was five days after the arrival of An Jiang. For the past five days, Jun Qianyan had been wandering between Jun Mochen and Jun Xuanfeng, supervising both of them in their drinking.


    Before leaving, Jun Qiyan had gone to talk to Jun Mo Chen; however, she was happy to find that his condition was much better than before.


    The current Jun Mo Chen could walk on the ground, and the smile on his face was from the bottom of his heart; he was no longer as reluctant as he was before.


    In fact, if it was possible, Jun Qianyan wanted Jun Mo Chen to accompany her there, but Jun Mo Chen was still too weak to bear the strain of the ship''s carriage at this point, so he left by himself in the end.


    Before he left, both Jun Mo Chen and his grandfather had packed her carriage full of stuff, while I don''t know which door Di Yeming went crazy with, actually pushing over the two palace maids that were serving her in the palace, which made Jun Qiyan''s face turn dark.


    Jun Qianyan thus delayed his departure by two hours, cleaning up everything that was dragged on the carriage that was almost impossible to run.


    Two hours later, the carriage drove off, leaving behind two confused court ladies and a mess on the ground. There was also the Jun Family''s grandfather and grandson, as well as Di Yuming, who had lost most of the things they had stuffed into the box.


    However, these people couldn''t be seen by Jun Qiyan. She was alone in the carriage, and the people driving the carriage were people left behind by An Jiang. According to old man An, if they recognized the road, they would definitely not lose it.


    Jun Qiyan thought that her words seemed to make a bit of sense, so she was happy to take over An Jiang''s arrangements.


    The main headquarters of the Alchemy Association was outside the East Tomb, so the carriage only took two hours to arrive at the East Tomb Kingdom''s Alchemy Association''s transfer array.


    As for the others, they had already been collected by Jun Qiyan into the Nuwa Stone. Because of the rush, he accidentally threw a bundle on top of his big snake, causing the sleeping Baji to wake up.


    The ''charioteer'' knocked on the door of the carriage with due diligence, but no one came down. He said something in doubt before opening the door himself, only to see the girl sitting motionlessly on the ground with a dull expression.


    It wasn''t that Jun Qiyan had gone silly, it was just that Baji had been howling inside the Nuwa Stone until the sky had fallen and the earth had darkened, causing the other docile treasures to all come out with their tempers.


    The final result was that everything inside was the same as ever. As long as someone could make a sound, they would try their best to make sure that Jun Qiyan''s ears were ringing all the way.


    "Coachman!" After calling out for five or six times, Jun Qianyan finally came to a realization. She blinked at the expressionless coachman, finally realizing what they were trying to do.


    Jun Qiyan''s face reddened for a moment, then it immediately faded away. He then calmly followed the ''charioteer'' out of the carriage.


    Jun Qiyan had never come to this place before, so wherever the ''coachman'' went, she would closely follow. From time to time, Jun Qiyan would look up at the surrounding buildings.


    The buildings here were very strange. There were small buildings of varying heights rising and falling on the plains. The center of the buildings was radiating a bright golden light. Upon closer inspection, they didn''t look like buildings, but rather an open-air transmission array.


    At this moment, there were already quite a few people gathered outside the teleportation circle. Jun Qianyan estimated that there should be around two hundred of them.


    At this moment, they were entering the array in batches, no less than twenty people at a time. Jun Qiyan thought that the two of them were going to enter the array as well but immediately rejected her idea.


    This was because they had entered a room in the middle position. The room wasn''t big, but there was another world within. Only after Jun Qiyan entered did he realize that there were people guarding the inside of the room. Only after the "driver" showed him a token did they enter.


    It was very dark inside, but Jun Qiyan''s attention was completely focused on the glowing formation diagram in the middle of the room. It turns out that the Alchemy Association had its own teleportation array. Even the rooms outside that were of different sizes and sizes had ¡­


    "Coachman!" For the first time ever, he spoke as if he had seen through Jun Qianyan''s thoughts.


    "Most of the outside world is empty."


    "Hmm?" For a moment, Jun Qianyan didn''t react. He had thought that this'' coachman '', who had been silent all this time, was a mute. He hadn''t expected that he would actually make a sound.


    The ''coachman'' took out spirit stones and placed them in several different places. Then, he humbly said, "Come." Jun Qiyan immediately ran towards him. Once the two of them stood, the ''charioteer'' made a seal with his hands, and moved so fast that it left afterimages.


    The house in front of Jun Qiyan started to spin, and a white tiger appeared behind the man as the seal was formed. Jun Qiyan''s house seemed to spin, and a white tiger appeared behind the man as the seal was formed.


    The Alchemy Association wasn''t too far away from the location of the array, so in just a few seconds, the two of them appeared in the Alchemy Association''s special transmission array.


    The impact of entering the array formation had caused Jun Qiyan to feel a bit dizzy. She was able to use her backhand to grab onto the man''s clothes, using his strength to stabilize herself for a quarter-of-an-hour.


    The man didn''t say anything either. He just stood there quietly, like a pillar for Jun Qianyan. When Jun Qiyan came to her senses, she realized that she was grabbing onto someone''s arm. She immediately released her hand and said, "I''m sorry."


    However, the man didn''t even look at her as he walked out of the formation. The formation was no longer in the room but in a small segregated area. There were four white jade pillars surrounding the three of them.


    After seeing the man leave, Jun Qiyan immediately followed him. This was the first time she had been to this place, and she really didn''t know the way.


    As Jun Qiyan walked along with the man, she sized up the Pill Refining Assembly. Even though there were a lot of people coming and going, there were still those quaint buildings here.


    Moreover, because of the selection of the Alchemy Association''s president''s direct disciple, Jun Qianyan could see young alchemists everywhere. Most of them were chatting and laughing in groups of three or five, while the others were looking for a place to stay by themselves.


    The man only brought Jun Qiyan to the main hall of the Alchemy Association and then left. Jun Qiyan also didn''t want to keep him as a tour guide for a while.


    However, Jun Qiyan knew that this man definitely wasn''t the ''coachman'' that An Jiang had spoken of. This kind of person condescended to help her drive the carriage, so how could Jun Qiyan choose anything?


    Besides, she had been troubling him for so long. She felt a little sorry for herself.

 C251

    Without the man leading the way, Jun Qiyan began to wander around the lobby, which was filled with people.


    The main hall was built with a majestic atmosphere. When one looked up, they would see a huge, dark brown signboard with a few large words in it. Then, the signboard would be painted with golden powder.


    Jun Qiyan didn''t wear the black gold mask this time, and was still clad in the gorgeous black and gold brocade Chinese Flowering Apple robe. However, her lips were pressed against his lips and the corners of her eyes, outlining her flirtatious appearance.


    The appearance of such an outstanding beauty naturally attracted the attention of most of the people in the main hall. Almost all of the male alchemists were looking at Jun Feiyan, while the female alchemists were looking at her with a complicated expression.


    Jun Qiyan was born with a very accurate sense of malice towards others. She was certain that there were quite a few girls with malice towards her in this situation.


    But so what? Jun Qiyan didn''t care.


    She brushed the hair that was tied around her neck and ignored them. Then, she walked into the main hall. Only after entering did Jun Qiyan realize that the people inside were the young pill refiners of the Alchemy Association who had registered to come here.


    The registered apothecaries consisted of two men and two women. Perhaps the ones chosen were people with gentle temperaments. From the looks of their smiling faces, one could tell that they were intimate with one another.


    Since they needed to register, Jun Qiyan thought for a moment before joining the group closest to her. The number of people in the group obviously wasn''t small.


    At this moment, every single movement of Jun Qiyan was under the eyes of these young alchemists, especially when they saw her queuing up. Some of the girls'' gazes never left her, as if they were looking at their nemesis who wanted to snatch something from them.


    After all, there could only be one direct disciple of President An Jiang. If a woman''s looks were outstanding, then it was more likely that she would be noticed. This was the situation in this world.


    The one that Jun Qiyan was in charge of registration was Pei Shu. Pei Shu''s appearance could not be considered stunning, but she was a graceful and imposing lady. Perhaps she was no longer a ''lady'', but to be honest, Jun Qianyan found this woman extremely attractive.


    "Look at this fox-like appearance, I wonder if he''s here to compete for the placings or to seduce people."


    Some of them had just finished registering and were standing together to observe the remaining competitors, while the outstanding Jun Qiyan had thus become their first topic of discussion, although the topic of discussion was not very pleasant.


    The voice was not small, and could easily reach the ears of everyone present. Jun Qiyan opened her eyes with great interest as she looked around. The person who spoke was a young girl who was as pretty as a flower and as yellow as a jade; her appearance was that of a fifteen or sixteen year old.


    However, these words caused people to feel extremely uncomfortable. Pei Shu frowned as she looked at the girl.


    The girl was called Wei Qingping and was a princess of a neighboring country. Pei Shu remembered that this child had good talent and could be nurtured by the Pill Refining Association, but she did not know that this child''s temperament was extremely useful.


    Pei Shu frowned as she scrawled the name ''Wei Qingping'' off the ''excellent'' page. However, Wei Qingping was completely unaware of this, as he was still attuned to his own talent.


    Jun Qiyan didn''t care that she fought with such a young girl, so he was too lazy to respond when he saw her provoke him. He didn''t know that such an attitude was just a sign of weakness in Wei Qingping''s eyes.


    This made Wei Qingping, who was always arrogant, even more proud. The three to five men and women who flattered Wei Qingping also belittled Jun Qianyan. When she heard this, she became even more annoyed.


    When Jun Qiyan discovered these children, he kept cursing and swearing. There were no new words about seducing, seducing, or luring others with sex, nor was there anything new to say.


    This made the other pill refiners who were queuing up to register, as well as the other pill refiners who were watching the show, curious. Could it be that this beautiful pill refiner was a gentle lady?


    Actually, it was all fake. The word ''gentle'' was something that Jun Qiyan would never have had in her entire life. It was just that she didn''t even want to look at something that she wasn''t interested in.


    However, the onlookers didn''t know that they had gathered together and were whispering to each other as they glanced at Jun Qianyan out of the corner of their eyes.


    "Come here, child, come here."


    Pei Shu ignored the crowd and only waved at Jun Qianyan, who had arrived. Jun Qianyan liked this pill refiner who made her feel comfortable, so she smiled brightly at Pei Shu, causing her to be stunned.


    "Here, fill in the name and age."


    Pei Shu held onto a quill pen and held it out to Jun Qianyan. As she looked at this scene, she actually felt that it was very familiar.


    He pointed to the bottom of the not-so-thin piece of paper and said in a warm tone.


    "We need to seal this place with the seal we received when we were invited."


    Seal? Jun Qianyan''s beautiful eyes widened. When old man An Jiang had given her the invitation, he hadn''t mentioned that she wanted a seal. Could it be that ¡ª


    Don''t tell me that you are some kind of alchemist who came from the countryside? You dare to come here to participate in the selection without a seal? That''s hilarious.


    However, when the other alchemists heard Wei Qingping''s words, they revealed a subtle expression. From the looks of it, this young lady was not a simple person, and her temperament was similar to everyone else''s, but she did not come with a seal. Could it be that she really wanted to rely on this leather bag to enter the selection competition?


    In a split-second, everyone looked at Jun Qiyan with a bit of contempt.


    It was the first time that someone had said that to Jun Qianyan. She thought about the man who had sent her here and only spoke two sentences along the way. In total, they hadn''t spoken more than ten words.


    She had just been thinking that the old man had given her an invitation letter meaning that he would open the door directly to her. Originally, she didn''t have to wait for the registration like the rest of them, but the little girl had said ''no no no no''.


    Even Jun Qiyan, who did not want to quarrel with this little girl, was angered by these words, and a dark light flashed across her eyes.


    Pei Shu looked at Jun Qiyan. This child''s appearance didn''t seem to be like Wei Qingping had described. Moreover, he was in broad daylight touching a woman''s chastity. This behavior was extremely vile.


    Pei Shu had just wanted to invite the expert in charge of the Alchemy Association to escort this girl out, but the other three Alchemy Masters had all gathered here with furrowed brows.


    "Young lady, you have such a poisonous mouth. I, the Pill Refining Association, will definitely not accept such a malicious mind from you."


    She and Pei Shu gave off a completely opposite feeling. Lu Fei was dressed in a red tight suit with a curvy figure. His long hair was tied up into a big ponytail and he wore a sword at his waist. His entire person was dazzling like a ball of fire.

 C252

    When Wei Qingping heard this, his eyes widened in disbelief. He stretched out a finger and pointed at Lu Fei. His clear voice had become somewhat hoarse.


    "How dare you!" Do you know who my father is?! Do you know who my uncle is? "


    Wei Qingping panted harshly as he glared at Lu Fei. Out of the corner of his eye, he had also missed out on Jun Qiyan. Jun Qianyan had expressed her innocence in response to this, as she had her own matters to attend to no matter what.


    She was really busy and didn''t have the time to scam others. If she really made up her mind to scam others, Jun Qiyan felt that that person might not live past the day.


    "My father is a king with a different surname from the Eastern Forest Kingdom, and my uncle is the emperor of the Eastern Forest Kingdom! "I am Princess Hua Ming of the Eastern Forest."


    Wei Qingping proudly reported his home name, but perhaps she had forgotten that a person who was able to provide for a pill refiner was no small fry. She, a princess from a neighbouring country, was really not worthy of attention.


    Wei Qingping originally wanted to rely on his identity to get everyone''s support. However, he didn''t expect that because of her self-introduction, everyone would ignore her.


    "My Alchemy Association really does not lack your position."


    When Jun Qianyan saw this, her eyes lit up. These two men were actually a double cell, and their faces were practically identical.


    Xie Lingxi had the same cold personality as her brother. However, she couldn''t stand someone being so impudent in front of the Pill Refining Association so she stared at Wei Qingping with a cold expression.


    Jun Qiyan was a little surprised to see that people had shifted their focus from the paper to the attack on Wei Qingping. However, she took the invitation from her bosom and walked towards Wei Qingping.


    At this moment, Wei Qingping was in a sorry state. He bit his lower lip as if a bunch of people were bullying a little girl like her. When she saw Jun Qiyan walking towards her, she gave her a disdainful glance before turning away.


    It had been a long time since Jun Qiyan had felt the taste of someone rolling her eyes at her. Jun Qiyan looked at this pretty face from left to right. Suddenly, he condensed some spirit energy into his hand and grabbed Wei Qingping''s chin.


    Everyone was flabbergasted by Jun Qiyan''s actions. Lu Fei looked at her with a playful expression. She liked this young lady; she was really clear-cut.


    "Little girl, isn''t it a good idea to impart morals to our ancestors at such a young age?"


    As she said this, she squeezed Wei Qingping''s hand forcefully, causing him to feel pain. However, he did not let go. The men and women that followed Wei Qingping saw this and did not dare to step forward to rescue the person in Jun Qianyan''s hand.


    As for the other pill refiners, they took in a deep breath as they didn''t seem to understand why there was such a brutal lady.


    Apothecaries put all their effort into improving the quality of their pills, so physical training was never in their consideration. Most of the alchemists were physically and mentally weak, regardless of their gender.


    Amongst all the people present, Lu Fei admired Jun Qianyan the most because she was also a powerful woman who was able to hit a white lotus with a man''s fist; she was even stronger than some of the hired thugs in the Alchemy Association.


    At this moment, Lu Fei looked at Jun Qiyan. Her eyes shone with a green light as she examined her opponent from head to toe. Suddenly, her gaze fell upon Jun Qiyan''s other hand.


    In that hand was their President''s Guest Warrior post. Lu Fei widened his eyes and pulled Pei Shu, Xie Wushuang, and Xie Lingxi together.


    "Look, is the one in this young lady''s hands a guest letter for the president?"


    Lu Fei sounded surprised and uncertain. The other three men immediately looked at Jun Qianyan''s right hand, carefully identifying the shape, color, and pattern of the letter. Finally, their eyes met, and they all saw disbelief in each other''s eyes.


    It was indeed a guest invitation from the president. Their president was a person who liked to travel, and any genius or expert who met someone who liked to look good would send out a guest invitation. Even so, he had actually sent a total of four out within fifteen years.


    The people who had previously held guest invitations were respectively the continent''s strongest expert, the first Regent of the Eastern Kingdom, the Apricot Forest Sacred Hand, and the number one beauty who had gathered intelligence about the world.


    Today, however, was the fifth guest letter.


    The four of them looked at Jun Qiyan with a complex expression. She was not far away from teaching Wei Qingping a lesson. Jun Qiyan was afraid that she would be able to uncover the truth from his excitement, so she decided to let him go.


    When Wei Qingping felt the air, he immediately collapsed onto the ground with his hands covering his neck, coughing up blood. Jun Qiyan took out a handkerchief from her bosom and carefully wiped her fingers. Then she squatted down and gently placed the handkerchief on Wei Qingping''s body.


    "In the future, if you want to cause trouble, you must also clearly see who you have provoked. For example, someone like me, you can''t afford to offend.


    Jun Qianyan''s words were extremely calm, without the slightest fluctuation in his tone. When everyone heard his words, they felt goosebumps rising all over their bodies, and goosebumps rose all over their bodies.


    Lu Fei and the other three didn''t dare to underestimate this girl anymore. Pei Zhui could tell that Jun Qianyan was really going to do something, so he quickly called someone to respectfully invite Wei Qingping out.


    The almighty Wei Qingping was not someone who could resist. She only felt that her whole body was frozen in that instant. Then, she was grabbed by the clothes and left the Alchemy Association half-carried.


    Jun Qiyan just watched like this, her arms crossed over her chest, without saying a word. She waited until no one was able to see her shadow before she looked around to see if any of the spectators were still alive.


    Everyone was a bit scared by this faint smile. They regretted that they would believe Wei Qingping''s words to suspect her. How was this a coquettish bitch that relied on her skin? She was clearly a beautiful yaksha that was black-hearted.


    "Young lady, would it be possible to take a look at the card in your hand?"


    Pei Shu was the most sociable of the four, so it was her who made the decision. Jun Qiyan thought that the most pleasing one of the four was this gentle older sister, followed by the seemingly domineering Lu Fei.


    Moreover, these two men didn''t have much of a presence around him. Perhaps even if he icily came over and asked Jun Qiyan, he might not give them any face at all.


    Upon hearing that Pei Zhui had come to ask for this letter, Jun Qianyan stretched out her hand and handed it over. Since this item was of no use to her, it could only be a letter of recommendation.


    When she saw that Jun Qiyan was being straightforward with her, Pei Shu gave her a gentle smile.


    "Thank you, young lady. May I know what your name is?"


    As she did not hit the smiling person with her hand, Jun Qiyan''s affability level with the gentle and temperament Pei Shu rose rapidly. She straightened her long black robe and bashfully smiled like a noble girl.


    "Jun Qiyan."

 C253

    Pei Shu nodded her head and opened the invitation. The other three people then moved closer to look at the words, but after they finished, all four of them fell silent.


    They all turned to look at Jun Qiyan. What they didn''t expect was that only the president himself would be able to write this down and allow this young lady to participate in the selection of his personal disciples.


    After some discussion, they decided to let Pei Shu bring Jun Qianyan to identify the competition grounds and their resting place. Since the competition would last for a few days, the Pill Refining Assembly had already provided a place for everyone to stay. At this point, there were already people who had registered and picked a place to stay.


    The crowd watched as the beautiful mother, Yaksha, walked away with her gentle beauty.


    They were all stupefied, unable to understand what kind of person Jun Qiyan was to cause the alchemists in the Alchemy Association to treat him so courteously.


    Their attitudes naturally couldn''t be compared. If someone brought them to find a place, they could only follow the map and search for it themselves. The rooms were randomly assigned.


    This is the open space of every competition, it can hold a furnace of over a thousand people, and then the open space will automatically split according to the number of people, and then open up the defensive array, but the array will only activate when the furnace is about to explode,


    "Because there are a lot of pill refiners here this time, there aren''t many empty rooms in the guild. There can only be three people in a room. I remember that one of them is a room for two sisters from the same family. Or I can take you there myself. "


    This was a little friend that the president had personally invited back. If she was too slow, she would not know what kind of trouble the old mischievous boy would cause. Moreover, this girl was looking at Zhong Lingxiu.


    Jun Qiyan didn''t have much of a request to make regarding the residence, so she could subdue anyone. Therefore, she looked at Pei Shu and shook her head as she answered.


    "No problem, then let''s live with them, it''s just a place to sleep. Besides, I don''t think anyone will be able to sleep during these two days."


    With that, Jun Qiyan playfully blinked her eyes, causing Pei Shu to feel that she was an innocent and amiable girl, just that she had a bad temper.


    As the two of them walked, Pei Shu was introducing them to her. Jun Qiyan discovered that the entire guild was filled with the fragrance of flowers, perhaps because the alchemists needed to gather herbs, but the entire guild was placed under a huge Four Seasons Formation.


    Therefore, Jun Qiyan''s nose was filled with the smell of herbs and flowers along the way.


    The place to stay was about a quarter of an hour walk away from the competition grounds. There were three people in a courtyard, but one courtyard only had one large room. The room had a common resting and eating area, and then there were three bedrooms.


    Pei Shu brought Jun Qianyan out of a courtyard before leaving. She still had matters to attend to at the registration office and was lacking in manpower to begin with. Without her, it was unknown what kind of hectic business the other three would be in.


    Jun Qiyan nodded and said, "Take care." Then she pushed open the door of the small courtyard. There were some flowers and plants growing in the yard, and she thought it was a bit strange that the three rooms were arranged for them. She almost couldn''t hold back her laughter when she thought about it.


    At this time, the door suddenly opened and Jun Qiyan saw a green-clothed woman carrying a wooden bucket walk out. She crossed over to Jun Qiyan, who was standing in the middle of the courtyard, and went to water the sun-dried herbs.


    Jun Qiyan kept looking at this girl as if she were a transparent person. Curiosity rose in his heart. Besides, people who could water plants might not have bad intentions.


    As she thought of this, Jun Qiyan lifted her foot and walked out of the room. She knocked on the door before pushing it open. The green robed woman from earlier was sitting in front of the round table in front of her, propping her head up with one hand as she looked at her.


    Jun Qiyan didn''t try to hide her identity and directly met the gaze of this green clothed woman. After a moment, the green clothed woman first sneered, stood up and walked in front of her.


    "I''m Huang Yuanyuan."


    Huang Yuanyuan circled around Jun Qiyan once, as if she was looking at some kind of treasure. Finally, she stopped in front of Jun Qiyan. She was half a head taller than Jun Qiyan, and was currently looking down at her.


    "I will win the match. I hope that you don''t have any thoughts of not being able to achieve your goals."


    Huang Yuanyuan''s voice was cold and emotionless, giving Jun Qiyan the impression that she was being unreasonable. Jun Qianyan was wondering if she was wrong. Perhaps a person who liked plants might not be a good girl.


    However, she could not make a decision without thinking, so she raised her head and smiled at Huang Yuanyuan. The two of them were very close, and both could see her shadow in the other''s eyes.


    At this moment, the door to a bedroom was suddenly opened. A blue-robed lady with a face similar to Huang Yuanyuan walked out. When she raised her head, she was stunned to see the both of them.


    Jun Qiyan raised an eyebrow, and then automatically withdrew two doors. She tilted her head and beckoned to the blue-clothed girl.


    "My name is Jun Qiyan."


    Huang Pingping smiled gently at the sight of Jun Qiyan. To her, he looked like a docile white rabbit.


    "My, my name is Huang Pingping."


    Huang Pingping said shyly.

 C254

    Jun Qiyan lightly nodded her head. She assumed that these were the sisters that Pei Zhui had mentioned. However, their personalities were as different as the sky and the earth. One was cold and arrogant, while the other was like a harmless little white rabbit.


    In the car, Huang Yuanyuan glanced at Huang Pingping before snorting and turning her head away.


    Seeing Huang Yuanyuan''s attitude, Huang Pingping did not get angry. Instead, she smiled ingratiatingly, "Yuanyuan, are you hungry? Shall we go eat together?" After Huang Pingping finished speaking, she sent an invitation to Jun Qi. "Qiyan, you haven''t eaten yet either, do you want to ¡­"


    "Why do you talk so much? Are you still going to eat? " Before Huang Pingping could finish, Huang Yuanyuan interrupted her with an icy tone and a hint of impatience.


    Since this Huang Yuanyuan clearly didn''t like him, Jun Qiyan naturally wouldn''t ask for trouble at this stage. However, she still thanked Huang Pingping for her good intentions. "I''m not hungry, you guys go first."


    Huang Yuanyuan had already left the room while Jun Qiyan and Huang Pingping were still talking. Huang Pingping smiled apologetically and hurried after her. "Don''t talk to her so much ¡­"


    When Jun Qiyan heard this, she didn''t seem to mind. She faintly smiled. There were too many people who didn''t like her. If she cared about every single one of them, then she would have to die.


    Of the three bedrooms, two of them had already been chosen by the Huang sisters. On the door hung a wooden board with their names engraved on it. The names were engraved on it using spiritual energy.


    The wooden tablet was placed right in the center of the formation. The spirit energy of the occupant was used to activate the formation, and only those who left spirit energy on the wooden tablet could control the opening and closing of the door.


    This was to prevent others from rushing in when he was refining pills.


    The Huang sisters had already disappeared, and Huang Yuanyuan''s room closed automatically because of her departure. Jun Qiyan swept her gaze across the room, leaving the leftmost bedroom without a single sign, and walked in. Lifting her feet, she grabbed the wooden tablet, and gently swiped her finger across the top of the room, causing an overflowing amount of spirit energy to flow onto the wooden tablet.


    Originally, it was an ordinary wooden plate. Under the guidance of the spirit energy, it seemed to have turned into a hundred year old log. The wood was thick and exuded a heavy fragrance.


    Jun Qiyan looked at the wooden tablet and nodded her head in satisfaction. She placed it on the door, and the spirit energy immediately spread to the formations inside the door. If there was a person with a high level of spirit energy, he would have discovered that this formation was not ordinary.


    She pushed open the door and entered the bedroom. She looked around and found that it wasn''t bad. Although the room was a little small, it had the basic necessities of being an alchemist.


    "The Alchemy Association is quite well-prepared."


    Jun Qiyan put down her luggage in her room. There was a letter on the small wooden table in her room. It was printed with red lacquer. She opened it and found that it was written by the Pill Refining Association to mark the start of the selection competition.


    The letter stated the time of the disciple selection competition, and the competition for the direct disciples of An Jiang was held three days later. The competition was divided into three parts: concocting medicine, refining medicine, and opening the furnace.


    Just from the people she saw at the Alchemy Council today, she did not feel that there were any people who could pose a threat to her. However, in the next three days, there would definitely be an endless stream of people, and it would be hard to say whether or not they would have the ability to become a powerful expert. After all, the Profound East Continent was a place with a plethora of talented people.


    "Miss Jun." Suddenly, the sound of Spirit Sound came from outside the door, interrupting Jun Qiyan''s train of thoughts.


    Jun Qiyan recognized Pei Shu''s voice and opened the door, "Is something the matter?"


    Jun Qiyan had always smiled without sparing anyone who had a good impression of her.


    Pei Shu had just seen the wooden tablet engraved with Jun Qiyan''s name. The abundant spirit energy circulating within the drawing made her even more afraid to look down on Jun Qiyan, and she smiled as she said in a gentle tone, "I just finished registering. I heard that Miss Jun has yet to eat, so I came to ask if you were going with me."


    "Of course."


    Towards Pei Shu''s kindness, Jun Qiyan did not refuse.


    The Alchemy Association had a large kitchen and a small kitchen, and visitors could eat in their rooms or go to the kitchen to eat with the others.


    When the two of them arrived at the kitchen, they were already in the middle of a heated discussion. When the pill refiners saw Jun Qianyan and Pei Shu walk in together, the atmosphere immediately turned silent, and then started to fill with whispers.


    Many people had seen the incident between Jun Qiyan and Wei Qingping in the main hall of the Pill Refining Association this afternoon. The news of Jun Qianyan having a guest official post of the President had long spread.


    Huang Yuanyuan, who was sitting on the table, clearly belonged to the latter.


    In her opinion, this Jun Qiyan''s face was not that much better than ordinary people''s, it was not a big deal. She, Huang Yuanyuan, would definitely rely on her own hard work to become the direct disciple of President An Jiang!


    Huang Pingping looked at the determination in Huang Yuanyuan''s eyes and lowered her head slightly. Her right hand seemingly caressed her hair as if she was shy. Most of the people in the kitchen focused on the two young ladies who just came in.


    Pei Shu did not expect that she and Jun Qianyan would attract the attention of so many people. With her deep Spiritual Qi, she was naturally able to hear some of the broken words that came into her ears. She glanced at Jun Qianyan, and could tell from the wooden signboard on the door that her Spiritual Qi was much higher than normal, so she was sure that she had heard the words of those people.


    This young lady was young, and not only was her spiritual power profound, her temperament was also calm.


    Pei Shu nodded to Jun Qiyan in her heart, only to see Jun Qianyan take out a handkerchief from her bosom, looking exactly the same as the one she had in the afternoon. Pei Shu was puzzled as to why she had taken out the handkerchief.


    Jun Qiyan used a handkerchief to wipe her fingers. Her movements were gentle and graceful, and were indescribably beautiful. She slowly opened her mouth and said, "Do some people not remember what I said this afternoon? Want me to say it again? "Hmm?"


    Her tone was light, almost as if she was talking about the weather, but everyone present had a tacit understanding as they recalled what Jun Qiyan had said that afternoon. The atmosphere became sluggish, and the more junior alchemist didn''t dare to make a sound as if they had tapped on an acupoint, and the more experienced alchemists didn''t dare to rashly provoke this beautiful yaksha who had a backer behind her, so they all put down their bowls and chopsticks and left the hall.


    In the blink of an eye, there were only a few people left in the dining hall who had been filled to the brim with food.

 C255

    Pei Shu looked at Jun Qianyan as she said those words, and the smile on her face stiffened. Who said that this girl in front of her had a calm disposition? Who is it? She would never admit that she said those words a second ago!


    As if nothing had happened, Jun Qiyan ordered two dishes and then asked Pei Shu what she wanted to eat.


    Huang Pingping, who was sitting in the corner, was envious when he saw how close Jun Qiyan and Pei Shu were. "Yuanyuan, you see, Qiyan has a really good relationship with the alchemist of the Alchemist Association. We even have a meal together."


    Huang Yuanyuan glanced at Huang Pingping when she heard him, and her face turned even more unsightly, "Since when did you talk so much?"


    Huang Pingping lowered her eyes in a wronged manner. Li Yan, who was eating at the same table as her, could no longer bear to watch any longer, "Miss Yuanyuan, Miss Pingping is your sister after all. You should know that I''m the eldest among children."


    As soon as she said that, Huang Yuanyuan''s face turned even uglier and she stood up to leave. Li Yan saw how impolite Huang Yuanyuan was and wanted to say something to her, but Huang Pingping pulled on Li Yan, "It''s okay, it''s just that she has a straight personality."


    "Sigh, you only get bullied by my little sister because your personality is too meek." Li Yan''s tone was somewhat disappointed, but it was enough to show his concern for Huang Pingping.


    However, the truth was that Li Yan was only the son of a neighboring duke that they had only met today.


    Those who were able to come to the Alchemy Association were either rich or noble. Li Yan''s status as the son of a small duke was nothing to the eyes of the aristocrats, and Li Yan was neither good nor bad in this group.


    The Huang Family was one of the top in the entire East Xuan Continent, and its position was only at the bottom. It was a coincidence that the two sisters were able to get a card to come to this Pill Refining Assembly.


    Naturally, Huang Yuanyuan took this opportunity very seriously. She returned to the yard and prepared to go into the bedroom to cultivate. The moment she went in, her steps paused as she looked at the bedroom on the left in disbelief.


    More accurately speaking, it was the wooden plate on the bedroom door with Jun Qiyan''s name engraved on it. The wooden plate was heavy, and had a faint luster to it.


    That Jun Qiyan actually had such a deep level of spirit energy?!


    Who was she?


    Huang Yuanyuan sat in her room and thought deeply. Although her family wasn''t rich, they still had a certain background. She knew all the top families in the Eastern Xuan Continent, and Jun Qianyan was no exception.


    [The young mistress of the Jun Family is known throughout the continent for being a trash. When did he become such a cultivator?] It seemed like the rumors were not to be trusted.


    However, this aroused Huang Yuanyuan''s desire to win even more. Since she was here, she had to fight her way to become President An Jiang''s personal disciple, not only for the glory of her family, but also to be able to meet that person ¡­


    It was unknown who Huang Yuanyuan thought of, but her eyes were a little soft.


    Huang Pingping came back from the kitchen and saw that Huang Yuanyuan''s door was shut tight. She guessed that Huang Yuanyuan might not be in a good mood, so she wasn''t so stupid as to go and find trouble with her.


    She came to the Pill Refining Association with Yuanyuan today and saw countless strong people. She was different from Yuanyuan, although Yuanyuan said that she came here to compete for the honor of her family, in reality, she came here to see the legendary Master Words.


    She, Huang Pingping, was the eldest daughter of the Huang family, so she must take advantage of this opportunity to make more friends for the Huang family. Since the Huang family had no males, then the next to inherit the Huang family would be her, Huang Pingping.


    Huang Pingping thought for a while before pushing the door open and entering his bedroom.


    "How are you getting along with the Huang sisters?"


    Pei Shu, who was still eating in the kitchen, asked Jun Qiyan.


    "It''s not bad, but although they are sisters, the difference in their personalities is really like heaven and earth." Jun Qiyan thought back to the two sisters'' personalities. If they didn''t have similar faces, she wouldn''t have been able to tell that they were sisters.


    As the registrar, Pei Shu naturally understood the Huang Sisters'' temperament, "That Huang Chong Yuan is a younger sister, perhaps the family is too pampered."


    Jun Qianyan indisputably nodded her head. She had no interest in the Huang sisters, but at this moment, the face of Di Mo Jiu flashed through her mind.


    I wonder how he is now.


    "Qiyan? Qiyan? " Seeing that Jun Qiyan was distracted, Pei Shu called out to her a few times.


    Jun Qiyan regained his senses.


    "What are you thinking? So fascinated? "


    "Nothing." Jun Qiyan''s expression was calm.


    Seeing that Jun Qiyan was unwilling to talk about this topic, Pei Shu did not pursue the matter any further.


    After the two of them had dinner, Jun Qiyan bid farewell to Pei Shu and returned to her bedroom.


    Pei Shu however, did not head straight back to her room. Instead, she turned a corner and went to President An Jiang''s room.


    When Pei Shu knocked on the door and entered, President An Jiang was in the middle of a game of chess with him. When he saw Pei Shu enter, he did not even raise his head, "Have you finished eating with that girl?"


    "The guild leader really has sharp eyes and keen ears."


    Towards Pei Shu''s blatant criticism, President An Jiang raised his eyebrows noncommittally, "What do you think of that girl?"


    "He can be made, but his temper isn''t stable." Pei Shu recalled Jun Qiyan''s serious and threatening appearance, and truthfully pointed out this not considered a weakness.


    "I actually think that girl''s temper is just like mine, unlike you, Lu Fei, and Xie Shufei, tsk tsk tsk, you''re either bored to death or you''re too impatient to turn the world upside down. This girl is different, she''s moving like a runaway rabbit, she''s as calm as a virgin and her movements are appropriate, she''s really a good candidate for refining pills."


    Seeing President An Jiang''s face full of praises and admiration for Jun Qianyan, Pei Shu thought of the fifth guest official post that the President had sent out and asked tentatively, "President, have you already decided on a candidate?"


    "I''m not the kind of person who would let someone take the backdoor route. Of course, each of us has our own strength, so whoever wins the selection competition will be my direct disciple."


    Hearing this, Pei Shu truly admired President An Jiang''s deceit. If she hadn''t seen the guest post in Jun Qianyan''s hands, she might have believed the President''s words. From the looks of it, the President was clearly very satisfied with Jun Qianyan.


    It seemed that the identity of this personal disciple would undoubtedly belong to Jun Qiyan.


    Just as Pei Shu''s thoughts left her mouth, a gust of wind blew in from outside. Her expression changed, no longer as calm as when she was conversing with President An Jiang. Instead, her expression became solemn and cautious.


    On the other hand, Guild Leader An Jiang''s expression didn''t change. He continued to calmly play chess.

 C256

    After a short while, the pressure in the room that had been quiet suddenly dropped. At the same time, a third person appeared in the room.


    He was about twenty years old, with long black hair that reached his ankles, and a single piece of black cloth that was loosely tied around him. He had clear eyes and was abnormally handsome, and his lips were slightly pursed.


    "Good morning, Master Words." Pei Shu only glanced at him once before lowering her head hurriedly. She did not dare look up and could only bow her head in greeting.


    The person did not reply and only lowered his eyes to look at An Jiang''s chess board. An Jiang saw that his unspoken words that had been out for a hundred years had unexpectedly come to find him. He knew that something was amiss and waved his hand, indicating for Pei Shu to leave.


    Pei Shu also did not expect that Master Words would come to visit the President. She hurriedly left, closing the door behind her.


    Even after they had left the house, Pei Shu had not recovered her composure. She had met Master Words once when he was young and he was no different from what he was today. If she were to speak of any differences, it was the aura around him that made her feel even more pressured.


    She suddenly felt the wetness on her face and realized that it must have been raining for some time now. Seeing how wet the ground was, she realized that she had not seen even a single droplet of water, let alone a wet shirt, when she had glanced at Master Words.


    The name of the dictionary had been around the Eastern Xuan Continent for a long time, and those who had the luck to see it could probably count with one hand.


    Pei Shu was secretly guessing at the purpose of these words. After a long while, she still hadn''t come to a conclusion, but before she could figure it out, the president''s door suddenly opened. She was shocked, so quickly?!


    She quickly lowered her head and saw a black robe float past her and felt the pressure on her body drop. Only then did Pei Shu dare to raise her head and look at the figure walking in the rain, seeing the spirit energy surround her and evaporate all the rain, she was even more surprised. She had seen people who gathered spirit energy to block the rain, and had also seen people who used their spirit energy to block all the rain, but she had never seen anyone who used her spirit energy to vaporize the rain ¡­


    How powerful must one''s ability be ¡­?


    Pei Shu could not help but raise her spirit energy in an attempt to evaporate the rainwater in her palm as per her own words. Even when she used all her strength, she could only evaporate fifty-to sixty percent of the rainwater in her hands.


    He couldn''t help but respect these words even more.


    At this moment, An Jiang was clenching his teeth in anger. He looked at the pieces of paper on the chessboard and recalled the words that had just been said. No matter how he looked at it, he was filled with anger!


    Even though An Jiang was feeling a bit depressed himself, before he could understand what was going on, the selection competition had already begun like a raging fire.


    "President, in the past few days, a total of 38,569 competitors have been registered. There are almost half of the number you would expect." Pei Shu took the register and reported it to Anjiang.


    With his reputation in the East Xuan Continent, it was not surprising for him to be here in large numbers. He nodded, "Since there are so many people here, we should give it a try. Don''t waste our Alchemy Association''s medicinal herbs for nothing."


    "Yes."


    "I wonder what will be the additional test for the guild leader''s test?" Xie Lingxi was the one who spoke. He and Xie Shufei had been silently observing the people who came over these past few days. There were many good seedlings among them, but there were also quite a few vicious and benevolent people.


    In the first round of concocting, Xie Lingxi felt that it was a great pity that they were wasting the medicinal herbs of the Alchemy Association. Now that the president asked for an additional test, it was exactly what he wanted.


    "Let them split up into white ginger and black grass. It is enough to select three thousand people to participate in the next round. You four can go and choose."


    When they heard that An Jiang had only selected five thousand people out of thirty thousand people, the four people in the room didn''t show any surprise, as if this was how it should be.


    On the day of the selection competition, when Pei Shu announced that she was going to give it another try, many people in the audience had different opinions. There were even many who protested.


    "Didn''t you say that it would be better than three matches for a total of seven days? Why did you give it another try?"


    "Exactly! Even the Alchemy Association would not go back on their word! "


    "¡­"


    Regardless of what the crowd said, Pei Shu turned a deaf ear to them and read the book in her hands, "This additional test is the first test. Those who pass can take part in the next three exams.


    Pei Shu''s merciless words caused the voices below to gradually subside.


    "After the third sound of the drum, our competition officially begins. If anyone wants to leave, feel free to do so." Pei Shu signaled Lu Fei, who was wearing a tight suit, to start drumming beside the gongs and drums.


    The spiritual energy in Lu Fei''s hand revolved around the red drumstick, and a booming sound reverberated throughout the entire Alchemy Association''s arena.


    Dong


    Dong


    After the third sound of the drum, not a single person left. Lu Fei''s disappointed expression was obvious. How could these people not know what was good for them?


    "Since no one is leaving, you will enter the room to my left in succession. You will be able to pick the required herbs within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. Then, you have passed the test."


    Hearing that the additional test was just to select an herb, many people revealed a look of disdain. After all, this was just choosing an herb, and the Pill Refining Association was not simply insulting.


    Those who were anxious had already headed towards the room.


    But only five hundred people went in at a time.


    Jun Qiyan stood in the crowd, quietly looking at the incense stick burning on the stage. The incense stick ignited very quickly, and in a short moment, five hundred people were sent out.


    All of them walked towards the door dejectedly.


    Those who had yet to enter were all amazed. It was just an herb, yet not even one out of five hundred people had passed?


    Their relaxed mood gradually turned heavy. Could it be that they were not just choosing herbs?


    After a few batches of people entered, none of them passed. Everyone''s expression became more serious.


    Li Yan happened to be in this group. He entered the room with a nervous feeling, and as soon as he entered the room, he saw a sign on the wall saying, Pick out the white ginger and it will pass.


    It was the most basic herb for medicinal pills. Li Yan gradually relaxed as he saw the people around him relax. He suddenly had a question in his mind, why was it that no one had passed the first few batches of questions for such a simple question?


    When he arrived at the herb picking area, he suddenly understood why a single basic herb would be hard to find among so many heroes.

 C257

    The empty ground was covered with herbs. A pungent smell assaulted his nose and ''ginger'' filled the entire ground?


    Someone laughed out loud. "There''s no need to pick all the white ginger on the ground."


    A few of them picked one up and walked towards the Xie brothers. "Thank you, Sir. I''ve chosen."


    Xie Shufei glanced at the herbs in his hands, but before he could do so, Xie Lingxi spoke up. "Just you wait. I''ll send you out after the time it takes to burn an incense stick."


    Those few people thought that they had passed and stood happily by the side, waiting.


    That simple? Li Yan became increasingly uncertain.


    He squatted down and picked up a stalk of herb in his hand. It was dark and spicy, and from the looks of it, it was definitely a white ginger [1], in the time it took for an incense stick to burn was almost up, at that moment, there were already many people holding onto the herb to wait by the side, even Li Yan did not dare delay, and just as he was about to stand up with the white ginger in his hand, he inadvertently saw Xie Shufei looking at the group of people, ridiculing them, and another herb suddenly flashed in his mind.


    Dark grass!


    He suddenly felt his scalp go numb. It was not only the white ginger that was spicy, but also the black grass!


    At that time, the white ginger could not become a medicinal herb to refine pills. It had to be exposed to the sun for about half a month, and after drying, the white ginger would be completely black, with a spicy taste. This was the kind of white ginger that could be treated like medicine.


    The Dark Grass, on the other hand, was different. It grew by the river and the fruit it had just plucked was the best time to put the medicine in, after a few days, it would lose moisture and become dry, spicy, and become a completely useless, abandoned herb. However, it was one of the best fertilizers to cultivate the white ginger.


    When Li Yan thought of this, he looked down at the "ginger" he picked out and immediately threw it into the pile of herbs. Seeing that the incense was about to burn out, he crouched down and searched for it with all his might ¡­


    Most of the people had already made their decisions. They looked at Li Yan who was still searching and sneered, "In the end, it''s the son of a rich family. A mere ginger can''t find him."


    Xie Shuangfei and Xie Lingxi naturally saw Li Yan throw away the herb they just picked. "There''s a smart person after all."


    Some people who were closer to him heard what he said and were confused. They saw Li Yan come over with a smile on his face.


    Just as the last bit of incense was burnt out.


    "Time is up."


    "I declare that Li Yan has passed."


    Everyone in the room was in an uproar, and were extremely dissatisfied. "Why did he pass? The thing in our hands is also a white ginger!"


    "Take a look for yourself. If you still can''t recognize him, I advise everyone to change your profession as soon as possible." Xie Shufei''s tone was icy cold.


    Some of the people who were unconvinced opened the herb in their hands, and their expressions immediately changed. Their expressions became extremely dejected, "It''s ¡­ it''s actually Black Grass ¡­"


    After passing the test, Li Yan was placed in a separate room.


    He could see the examination room from one wall of the room.


    Groups after groups of people went in and walked out dejectedly. Occasionally, a few of them would also pass the test. Just like Li Yan, they would only react at the last moment. When they saw each other, their hearts would still palpitate.


    Jun Qiyan and the Huang sisters happened to be in the same group.


    Jun Qiyan looked at the herbs on the ground. She could tell at a glance that this additional test was about to be carried out. Just like the others, she picked up an herb and went to submit it.


    When Pei Shu saw Jun Qiyan''s casual actions, she was momentarily unable to see clearly what Jun Qiyan had picked out. She was worried that Jun Qianyan was like the majority of the people present, and had let her guard down.


    Xie Shuangfei and Xie Lingxi exchanged glances as they saw Jun Qianyan walk over so quickly, and the person they had picked up just in time to see a white ginger. A sliver of surprise appeared in their eyes.


    At the moment, it was hard to tell if it was due to coincidence or strength.


    Huang Yuanyuan and Huang Pingping also picked the correct White Ginger at the last moment.


    However, the first match of the morning was over. Pei Zhui and the other three had selected three thousand people out of the thirty thousand.


    Those who failed the test were sent out of the Alchemy Association on the same day.


    In the afternoon, the three thousand people, including Jun Qianyan, officially began the first round of direct disciple selection, brewing medicine.


    The rule was to use the herbs in the room and the pill furnace to concoct a pill within seven days. The highest ranked person would win.


    This could be said to be the most fair competition between pill refiners. Herbs and pill furnaces were both provided by the Alchemy Council.


    Jun Qiyan looked at the small silver stove in front of his own chopping board, his fingertips rotating over the stove.


    It was a habit of hers.


    Most of the impatient apothecaries had already been screened, and the remaining apothecaries were carefully selecting herbs from the shelves.


    From the herbs they chose, it wasn''t hard to tell what kind of pill they were going to concoct.


    There were Pure Yuan pills, Immortal Pills, Five Yang Pills, etc ¡­


    Jun Qiyan''s gaze paused on the furnace as she started to ponder.


    She stood up and walked over to the herb rack to choose a medicinal herb. The Huang sisters happened to be picking too, and when Huang Yuanyuan saw that she was picking out materials to refine low grade medicinal pills, she coldly and arrogantly snorted.


    Jun Qiyan didn''t seem to care at all. She chose the herbs she wanted and began to mix them.


    This was the first step in refining pills.


    Every single medicinal herb was controlled by the apothecary himself, and the effects of the different medicinal herbs would naturally be different as well.


    While everyone was concocting, the pill refinery was occasionally filled with the sounds of explosions.


    Even apothecaries knew that such a sound was simply due to the inappropriate quantity of the medicine, resulting in the explosion.


    It was basically impossible for such a sound to appear.


    This was because the rules stated very clearly that everyone could only take the pill once.


    Many people left the venue one after another.


    As Jun Qiyan adjusted the medicine in her bowl, she circulated her spiritual energy in the medicinal herbs. They seemed gentle, but only she herself understood the rhythm.


    Pei Shu, Lu Fei, and An Jiang stood on a stone to observe the movements of the pill refiners. Of course, they paid particular attention to Jun Qianyan''s actions.


    An Jiang looked at the unhurried movements of Jun Qianyan, his eyes filled with admiration. However, he suddenly recalled the words that he had said to him that night and clenched his teeth in hatred. He had dug up such a good seedling.


    Sigh ¡­


    Hearing An Jiang''s sigh, Lu Fei expressed his understanding, "President, do you also think that the medicinal herbs refined by Jun Qiyan are too low leveled?"


    "Who said that the medicinal herbs she concocts are low-tier?!" An Jiang puffed his beard and glared at him.


    Lu Fei was a little surprised, "Didn''t she choose the Crescent Grass, White Lotus Leaves, and Azure Roots all to refine qi replenishing pellets?"


    "I told you to avoid fighting with fellow disciples and to ignore the Alchemy Book. Now, you can''t even tell the grade of a young lady''s Alchemy. Lu Fei, Lu Fei, you''re really going back to where you came from." An Jiang just so happened to place his stomach full of unhappiness on the bird who was at the forefront.

    "I told you to avoid fighting with fellow disciples and to ignore the Alchemy Book. Now, you can''t even tell the grade of a young lady''s Alchemy. Lu Fei, Lu Fei, you''re really going back to where you came from." An Jiang just so happened to place his stomach full of unhappiness on the bird who was at the forefront.


    She had read the pill manual before, the recipe for the Qi Replenishing Pill was exactly the same as the herbal medicine Jun Feiyan was making earlier. What was wrong with her?


    "The dosage is wrong." Xie Shufei stared at Jun Qianyan''s actions, his expression slightly solemn.


    Pei Shu and Lu Fei listened to the conversation and looked carefully at the concoction bowl that was placed in front of Jun Qianyan.


    Indeed.


    As Xie Shuangfei had said, if Jun Qiyan was really refining a Qi Replenishing Pill, he wouldn''t be in such a state.


    He saw that Jun Qiyan''s concoction had already entered the final stage.


    "This is bad!" Xie Lingxi frowned and spoke nervously.


    Everyone looked at Jun Qiyan''s medicine concocting bowl. The pot was already beginning to bubble; this was the sign that the concoction had failed and the pill was about to explode.


    "Gulu, gulu ~ ~ ~"


    As the bubbles became more frequent, he could already feel the danger from the bowl.


    Many people present were also paying close attention to Jun Qianyan''s every move. Upon seeing the state she was in, they all inwardly heaved a sigh of relief.


    Those who went through the back door were no more.


    Huang Yuanyuan had also noticed the situation on Jun Qianyan''s side. Her eyes flashed with ridicule, and she stopped looking.


    Jun Qiyan, on the other hand, was completely deaf to the voices around him, and was attentively and attentively staring at the medicinal plant in his alms bowl.


    What she wanted to refine was not just a simple Qi Replenishing Pill.


    She now understood that if she could become a direct disciple of the Alchemy Association''s Changan River, other people would have to at least give her some face, let alone the alchemy herbs.


    The grudge between the Sword Spirit Sect and their clan was irreconcilable. She wanted to become even more powerful.


    The situation in the alms bowl was within her expectations, so she had to be extremely careful. She constantly poured spiritual energy into the herbs, balancing their fusion with each other.


    Several hours passed, and yet no one present heard the sound of explosion from her bowl. On the contrary, several people had failed their concoction because they had their eyes fixed on Jun Qianyan.


    Just the step of concocting the ingredients required the apothecaries to be extremely careful, and from day to night, very few people would pass the first round of exams.


    However, because the Alchemy Association''s alchemist had set up a Spiritual Array in the Alchemy Grounds, the Alchemy Grounds were bright as day. The alchemists who were taking the exam had already taken the Fasting Pill, so there was no need to eat.


    When it was the Hai hour, there were still 2,000 people left on the stage. The remaining people had already raised their trump cards one after another and entered the second exam, Alchemy.


    By the time it was time to start concocting, almost everyone had already entered the alchemy field. Jun Qiyan seemed to be the only person in the entire alchemy field who was still concocting pills.


    Although concocting pills was very important in the pill refining process, this exam had only been completed seven days ago. If one were to spend too much time concocting medicines, they would not have enough time to refine medicines, and once the seventh day came, they would not be able to form a pill, which would undoubtedly be a failure.


    With these kind of thoughts in mind, everyone tried to shorten the concocting time as much as possible and quickly entered the alchemy room.


    However, even until the morning of the third day, Jun Qiyan was still concocting medicine, and the sound of bubbles exploding constantly resounded in his bowl.


    There were only two reasons why the medicine had been brewed for a long time. It was either because the apothecary didn''t have sufficient skill, or because the apothecary wanted to forge an advanced tier pill.


    As everyone knew, the longer the concoction, the longer the concocting time would be. Only three days were needed to concoct the medicine. It seemed like this Jun Qiyan was only mediocre, she didn''t even know when.


    While Jun Qiyan was busy concocting the medicine, Di Mo Jiu was also in the Divine Arts Pavilion, investigating the theft of the Embroidered Flower.


    Listening to his subordinate''s report, his expression turned even more unsightly. He dismissed the idea and went to the valley behind the Divine Arts Pavilion to check on the exact location where the Broad Flower was stolen.


    The almighty elder did not leave any obvious marks. Di Mo Jiu crouched down, leaving behind quite a few broccoli on the ground. His fingertips gently touched the withered brocade flowers, cutting off their roots neatly, leaving behind more than half of their stems.


    Seeing this, Di Mo''s eyes flashed. Everyone knew that the Flowerbrush had the ability to weave illusions, and the root was a good material for refining pills.


    It was a rare herb in this world. Judging from that almighty figure''s methods, he must have had an ulterior motive, which was probably what he wanted.


    Di Mo Jiu sneered, he got up and walked around the Blossom Valley, repaired the destroyed formation, and then walked over to the side of the grass. Everyone knew that there was a blissful root, but no one had seen it before.


    It was thought that the root of the brocade was the root of the brocade flower, but in fact, the root of the brocade flower was also a flower. The root of the hundred-year-old brocade flower would grow out from under the earth, turn into another flower, and only after a hundred years would it blossom.


    When he thought of Jun Qianyan, who was still in the Alchemy Association, his gaze softened. He stretched out his hand to pick a small flower beside the Fluttering Flower and stored it in a jade box that he carried with him.


    In the lens room at the side of the pill concocting field, Pei Shu was watching the scene in the arena. Not only did she frown, she started to worry for Jun Qiyan.


    Seeing Jun Qiyan mix medicine, Lu Fei was so anxious that he wanted to go out and warn that person. However, in order to ensure fairness, she still stayed in the room.


    In the lens room, a wind suddenly blew.


    "Eh? Was the door not closed? "Where did the wind come from?" Lu Fei looked towards the door with a puzzled expression.


    Pei Shu was the first to react. She stood up straight and lowered her head. The Xie brothers also followed.


    Seeing their reactions, no matter how slow Lu Fei was, he knew who it was.


    The four of them respectfully stood in a row with their heads slightly lowered. They could only see the black robes in front of them fluttering as they said, "Good morning, Master Words."


    He ignored the four people and walked over to a wooden chair beside An Jiang. His grey-green eyes were focused on watching the movements of Jun Qiyan on the stone.


    "Old partner, what kind of medicine is this Jun Qiyan concocting?" At this time, An Jiang also didn''t really understand Jun Qiyan''s actions.


    Even though he knew that the pill refined by Jun Qiyan wasn''t as simple as a Qi Replenishing Pill, he had never seen such a strange method of concocting medicine.


    "Origin Replenishing Pill."


    Her thin lips slightly parted, and a clear and cold voice rang out in the room. However, it was like a sudden clap of thunder that blew apart the four people in the room. Other than An Jiang, the rest were extremely astonished.


    "What?!"


    Origin Replenishing Pill?


    Lu Fei expended a great deal of self-control before he managed to suppress the shock in his heart. She looked towards Pei Shu and the Xie brothers, who also had shocked expressions on their faces.


    They could see the astonishment in each other''s eyes.


    When An Jiang heard this, he had a strange expression. "No wonder the medicine that little girl concocted is so strange. So it''s a Origin Replenishing Pill."


    Qi Replenishing Pill was a kind of pill that could recover user''s spirit energy in a relatively short period of time, and it was very common on the market. Qi Replenishing Pill was a kind of pill that could recover user''s spirit energy in a relatively short period of time, and it was very common in the market.


    However, the Origin Replenishing Pill was different. Although there was only a single word of difference, the grade was far too different. It was not an exaggeration to say that there was a heaven and earth difference.


    The Qi Replenishing Pill was a pill used to recover spiritual energy, and the Yuan Replenishing Pill was a pill used to increase the limit of the user''s spiritual energy. For example, the Qi Replenishing Pill was used to replenish water, and the Yuan Replenishing Pill was used to replace the water with a larger barrel.


    The pill formula was similar to the Qi Replenishing Pill, but no one was able to accurately determine the quantity of the pill. This resulted in a priceless pill being sold on the market for some time, who would have thought that Jun Qiyan would refine this pill at this time?


    "But, the herbs used to concoct the Origin Replenishing Pill are so mild and peaceful, why is her concoction so intense?"


    This time, he didn''t speak again. He looked at Jun Qiyan, who was focused on making medicine, with an unknown emotion in his eyes.


    Although they didn''t get a response from him, the people in the room looked at Jun Qiyan with a complicated expression.


    What kind of person was Jun Qiyan?

 C259

    However, Jun Qiyan was completely unaware of everything that was happening in the room next door. Her concoction process was nearing its end, and as she raised her head to look at the sunlight outside, she realized that it was almost noon, which was the best time for medicinal pills to enter the furnace.


    After a long while, she stopped what she was doing and raised the sign to start refining the pill. She wanted to enter the furnace at exactly noon.


    She gently poured the fully integrated herbs into the furnace. The medicinal herbs were poured into the furnace under the sun, bringing an indescribable radiance.


    However, the pill refiners who were focused on their pill furnaces had no time to pay attention to their pill furnaces.


    "Done."


    As they looked at the color and condition of the herbs as they entered the furnace, a clear and cold voice rang out in the room. Pei Shu and the others were confused as to what had just happened. The concoction was completed?


    After closing the furnace, the refining began.


    Jun Qiyan activated the spirit power within his body and ignited the fire.


    However, Jun Qiyan didn''t stare at the furnace like most people did after the fire had started. She reached out a hand to wipe away the sweat that had gathered on her forehead. The most difficult step of her pill had already been completed.


    As long as she kept the fire burning, her pills would be fine.


    As for the other alchemists, they saw that Jun Qianyan wasn''t as focused as they thought after he started refining the pill. They secretly laughed; this person probably knew that he didn''t have enough time, so he decided to give up.


    Time passed bit by bit in the pill refining field.


    Apothecaries began to have all kinds of problems with this step, such as the explosion of the pill furnace, the extinguishing of the fire, the lack of spiritual energy, and so on.


    There were also others who chose to give up because they didn''t have enough time.


    Thus, by the sixth day, the number of alchemists in the alchemy field was already less than two thousand.


    The opening of the furnace was the most important thing.


    The success or failure of the pill depended on it.


    Alchemists had to be very familiar with the state of their furnace. If they opened the furnace too early, it would be a failure to form the pill. If they opened the furnace too late, the pill would be a failure even though it had already taken shape.


    The moment the pill was formed, the furnace would open, and the medicinal effect of the pill would be at its best.


    On the sixth day, there were only a handful of people who had opened their stoves. The pill grades were not high, and in the hundreds of people who had opened their stoves, there were very few who had reached the third grade.


    The grade of the pellet was the highest in terms of grade nine and the lowest in terms of grade one. However, let alone a level nine pellet, level five was rare even in the Eastern Xuan Continent.


    If he wanted to become An Jiang''s direct disciple, he had already said that he wouldn''t accept anyone as his disciple until he reached the fourth rank, even if he won the competition.


    Seeing the grade of their pills, all of them lost hope. After they left the stage, they all gathered around to watch the competition.


    Right now, they were more concerned about who would become An Jiang''s direct disciple.


    On the morning of the seventh day, another group of people had already started their cooking. Li Yan was one of them as well. The grade of his pills was already over three, so it was hopeless.


    As time passed, more and more people began to open the furnace, but not even four people appeared.


    Until Huang Yuanyuan started the furnace.


    Tier 1 to level 3 pill, when the pill took shape, it was usually tasteless and lecherous.


    Rank 4 to 6 were medium-grade pills, and when the pill was formed, it would have a light color with a light fragrance.


    Grade seven was a high-grade pill. Its color was pale and it carried a peculiar fragrance.


    The eighth level was a divine grade pill. It was said that its color was clear and shallow, and it carried a strange fragrance. One could recover their spirit energy just by smelling it.


    Grade 9 pills could no longer be called pills. There was a record in the ancient book that a grade 9 pill could transform into a living being, but no one had ever seen one.


    The smell of a Tier 4 pill emanated from Huang Yuanyuan''s cauldron, causing most people to turn their attention to her. Huang Pingping opened the furnace this morning, and it was a Tier 3 pill.


    She looked at Huang Yuanyuan''s cauldron with jealousy in her eyes. However, she didn''t dare to do anything under the watchful eyes of the crowd. She could only pray that Huang Yuanyuan had failed to concoct the pill.


    Unfortunately, the Heavens did not fulfil this wish. When the afternoon arrived, Huang Yuanyuan gave him a Grade 4 pill called the Wood Spirit Pill. Its main function was to increase the power of the person with the wood spirit root.


    Seeing Huang Yuanyuan''s pills, although the usage was a little narrow, it was already past the threshold of President An Jiang to take in a disciple.


    Huang Yuanyuan looked at the pill in her hand as a smile appeared on her face. The first thing she did was to look at Jun Qiyan''s movements, but she discovered that she had not even opened the furnace, so she did not know why, but she felt a strong uneasiness in her heart as she looked at the pill furnace. From the wooden board, it could be seen that Jun Qiyan''s strength was not to be underestimated.


    Apart from Jun Qiyan, could she become the direct disciple of An Jiang? The next step would be to see who had yet to open the furnace.


    By the time the time the time came, there were already five Tier 4 pills, including Huang Yuanyuan.


    Jun Qiyan''s pill furnace was still unmoving.


    The only one who had yet to open the furnace was Jun Qiyan.


    When fifteen minutes was up, Jun Qiyan''s alchemy furnace still had no signs of opening.


    Suddenly, a commotion broke out in the pill refining field.


    Looking around, it turned out to be President An Jiang.


    He stood on the platform and looked at the people in the arena. At this moment, there were only five people in the arena who had managed to refine a Grade Four pill and Jun Qiyan who was in the process of refining the pill.


    He looked at Jun Qiyan''s pill furnace with undisguised eagerness in his eyes.


    Everyone had noticed President An Jiang''s actions, and couldn''t help but start to look forward to the pill that Jun Qiyan had refined.


    Pei Shu had already lit up an incense stick, and by the time the incense was out, the exam was already over.


    When the incense was about to burn halfway, a refreshing fragrance suddenly came from the pill refining field ¡­


    It was Jun Qiyan''s pill furnace. Everyone had the same thought in their minds.


    Just as the incense was about to burn out, Jun Qiyan''s pill furnace was about to open.


    At this moment, an alchemist suddenly made his move and tried to break through the restrictions on the arena in an attempt to destroy Jun Qianyan''s furnace. No one expected this scene to occur, and just as everyone was about to react, the alchemist who had suddenly made his move was suddenly swept away by an unknown force.


    He rammed straight into the stone statue, and like a kite with its string cut, he fell to the ground, spitting out a few mouthfuls of blood.


    Jun Qiyan looked at the miserable state of the alchemist with a face full of shock. Even though she had reacted to it, the alchemist had already turned into this kind of appearance before she could even make a move. Who would be so kind?


    "It''s time for your pill."


    A deep male voice suddenly rang out in her ears. Jun Qiyan didn''t have the time to listen carefully as she looked at the pill furnace in front of her. As expected, the pill furnace was ready, and the fragrance of the pill became more and more obvious as it was activated.

 C260

    Tier 5 Energy Replenishing Pill


    Some experienced apothecaries had already identified the type of pill it was.


    They exclaimed, "It''s an Origin Replenishing Pill!"


    "It''s actually an Origin Replenishing Pill!"


    The crowd burst into an uproar ¡­


    The Origin Replenishing Pill was originally a Grade Four Spirit Dan, but when one looked at the medicinal pill that Jun Qianyan had concocted, it was clear that it was not just a Grade Four pill.


    Some of the pill refiners started to voice their doubts, "Why is the pill she concocts so high in quality?"


    "That''s right, although the recipe for the Vitality Replenishing Pill is already rare, it shouldn''t be at such a high level."


    "Cough, cough." An Jiang coughed at the appropriate time, and the crowd''s discussion gradually died down.


    "As you can see, only those who can refine rank 4 pills and above can become my direct disciple. There are four people who can refine rank 4 pills and one person who can rank 5 pills." An Jiang did not include the name of the alchemist who had schemed against Jun Qianyan.


    Everyone didn''t mention him as well. He fell on the ground and was dragged out by the disciples of the Alchemy Association. This kind of person had already become a scum. No one paid too much attention to him.


    He wanted to ask for help, but no matter what he did, he could not make a sound. In that split-second, he was completely befuddled, and actually wanted to sneak an attack on Jun Feiyan; if he had known that this would happen, he definitely wouldn''t have done so.


    However, no one would listen to what he had to say anymore ¡­


    Just when everyone thought that An Jiang would choose Jun Qiyan as his personal disciple, An Jiang spoke with a heavy tone, "Now, I want to announce something to everyone."


    "The selection competition is not only being held for the direct disciples of An Jiang, it is also being held for the direct disciples of the Words Grandmaster."


    An Jiang''s last sentence was like a thunderclap, shocking everyone.


    For a long time, the onlookers were unable to quell the shock raging in their hearts, "President Anjiang, what did you just say ¡­"


    "Whose inner disciple?"


    "Did I hear wrongly?"


    "To think that it would be one of Master Words'' disciples."


    When Jun Qiyan heard An Jiang''s words, she was undoubtedly also very surprised. Was the Words Grandmaster about to accept a disciple?


    She suddenly felt as if someone was standing beside her, but when she turned her head to look, no one noticed her. Even when she tried to look for the person who had made the noise by her ear, she couldn''t find him anywhere.


    "Now, my friend Jun Qiyan, would you be willing to enter the chamber and become the disciple of Master Words?"


    An Jiang''s question attracted the envious and resentful gazes of everyone present as they focused on Jun Qiyan.


    Huang Yuanyuan stared blankly at Jun Qiyan, her mind was still thinking about what President Anjiang had just said. How could that be? How could it be him who had chosen to be a inner disciple? Why, why?!


    "I refuse to accept this!"


    A voice suddenly rang out on the field.


    Everyone looked over in confusion, only to realize that it was Huang Yuanyuan who had refined one of the Grade 4 pills.


    "Why aren''t you convinced?" An Jiang refused to accept this in his heart. Jun Qianyan was a good seedling that he had set his eyes on. He had no choice but to accept the reason for that.


    Hearing the words he left behind that night, An Jiang was extremely furious. Now that he saw a little girl who was discontented, he naturally had to ask her about it.


    "Jun Qiyan started concocting the Origin Replenishing Pill on the third day, but it took us four days to concoct a grade-4 pill. How could she concoct a grade-5 pill?"


    The deep meaning behind Huang Yuanyuan''s words almost meant that she cheated if she didn''t say it out loud.


    However, when the audience heard this, they also felt that what Meng Hao said was very reasonable. Because of the time limit of the competition, many people were unable to concoct a grade-4 or even a grade-5 pill because of the lack of time. They had no choice but to take a step back and concoct a few pills for a relatively short period of time.


    No matter what, a Grade 5 pill could still be refined for ten to fifteen days. How could Jun Qiyan refine a Grade 5 pill in such a short amount of time?


    "Brother Jun Qiyan, do you have any explanation for why Brother Huang Yuanyuan asked?" An Jiang asked Jun Qiyan.


    In fact, he also really wanted to know how Jun Qiyan concocted the pills in such a short time. He didn''t believe that Jun Qiyan would cheat. Even though he had watched the entire process, he still couldn''t figure out what was going on.


    "I didn''t start concocting pills on the third day." Jun Qiyan calmly said as he faced the crowd.


    "What?!" Not the third day? "


    "What a joke!" We have so many pairs of eyes watching, but you clearly poured the medicine into the pill furnace only on the third day! " Some people could not help but ask.


    Faced with the questioning of the crowd, Jun Qianyan calmly took out the medicine concocting bowl. "I''ve been refining medicine since the first day."


    Hearing this, the crowd was even more confused. The first day? On the first day, everyone was watching helplessly as she concocted pills. Why was she saying that she was concocting pills on the first day?


    An Jiang, however, understood Jun Qianyan''s words. He looked at his in surprise. "The sound that came from your medicine concocting bowl was actually because you were refining medicine?!"


    "That''s right." Jun Qiyan nodded.


    "How is this possible ¡­" An apothecary exclaimed.


    However, he understood that this was not impossible.


    "Although the Origin Replenishing Pill is a Rank 4 pill, its medicinal effects are already Rank 5. Why is it being ranked as Rank 4?" Jun Qiyan asked everyone.


    "Because the pill refining method is wrong." An Jiang understood Jun Qiyan''s meaning.


    Not only is it a Yuan Replenishing Pill, the refining process of each pill is very important. The refining focus of the Yuan Replenishing Pill is to adjust the effects of the medicine, and only when the herbs and herbs fuse together will it be able to fully utilize its effects. However, because of the Yuan Replenishing Pill''s grade, its refining time is bound to be very long, so when I was concocting the pill, I used my spiritual energy to ignite the fire and started to refine it in the medicine concocting bowl.


    Jun Qiyan''s explanation left everyone speechless.


    It was not a method that no one had ever thought of, but no one had ever done so. Using spiritual power to ignite spiritual fire in an open state was undoubtedly very taxing on one''s spiritual power, and it was also very easy to trigger a repulsive nature within the herbs, which would cause them to explode. However, Jun Qiyan had done so right under their noses, allowing the herbs to bubble for three days while maintaining a stable condition.


    This was undoubtedly a test of the apothecary''s skills.


    This time, no one looked down on Jun Qiyan anymore.


    "Since everyone understands the origin of this Grade 5 pill, is there anyone who is unconvinced?" An Jiang swept his gaze across the crowd.


    How could anyone be unconvinced?


    "Brother Jun Qiyan, are you willing to become this old man ¡­ Hmm, the disciples who entered the inner chamber of the Words Grandmaster? " An Jiang once again asked Jun Qiyan with tears dripping down his face.


    Naturally, Jun Qianyan was willing to do so. Even though she wasn''t the direct disciple of President An Jiang, the words of her Master Words were more attractive to her than anything else.


    She had long been curious about Master Words.


    Seeing that Jun Qiyan had agreed, An Jiang took out a jade pendant and handed it over to Jun Qiyan.


    The jade was warm to the touch and exquisite. There was a faint trace of red light flowing within it. It was a high-quality jade.

 C261

    The jade was warm to the touch and exquisite. There was a faint trace of red light flowing within it. It was a high-quality jade.


    An Jiang cautiously handed the jade in his hand over to Jun Yunyan. "This is the token that Master Words has given me. You can take it and find Master Words."


    When Jun Qiyan heard An Jiang''s words, she was stunned for a moment. She just gave him a piece of jade. Where would she go to find the Words Grandmaster?


    Even though An Jiang saw through Jun Qianyan''s doubts, he didn''t continue answering them. Instead, he turned around and said to the crowd, "My direct disciple is this Huang Yuanyuan."


    Everyone turned to look at Huang Yuanyuan, but they saw that she did not seem happy at all. Her expression was as if she had lost something, and others thought that she was too happy to speak.


    Only Huang Yuanyuan herself knew how shocked and unreconciled she was when she heard that Jun Qianyan had become the personal disciple of the Words Grandmaster. A disciple of the Words Grandmaster ¡­ That was something that she could not even dream of ¡­


    Huang Pingping, who was at the side, secretly clenched her fists. If Huang Yuanyuan were to become President An Jiang''s disciple, then her position in the family would be in jeopardy. She had to think of a way to prevent Huang Yuanyuan from developing like this.


    After the match ended, the liveliness had also finished, and everyone had left.


    An Jiang brought Huang Yuanyuan to the Pill Refining Association for the ceremony of becoming her disciple.


    Jun Qiyan, on the other hand, had gone to the Alchemy Association''s herb garden by himself. He was thinking about the jade pendant in his hand; how was he going to find the Words Grandmaster with this jade pendant?


    She tried to infuse her spiritual power into the jade pendant, but it seemed to light up a little after absorbing it. Jun Qiyan had originally wanted to infuse more spiritual power into the pendant, but unfortunately, it had consumed too much spiritual power during the process.


    The consumption of spiritual energy was too severe, causing her to feel dizzy for a moment. Before she could faint, a pair of hands came from behind her to help her steady herself.


    Enveloped by the familiar atmosphere, Jun Qianyan was the first to feel a surge of happiness. She turned around and saw the person behind her. Unconsciously, a smile appeared on her face. "You''re back!"


    The one supporting Jun Qiyan from behind was none other than Di Mo Jiu, who he hadn''t seen for a long time.


    "Yes." He stared at Jun Qiyan with undisguised concern in his eyes. "I''ll take you back to rest first."


    Following Jun Qiyan''s startled cry, Di Mo Jiu carried him horizontally in his arms.


    Jun Qiyan struggled uncomfortably to get down, but was slapped on the calf by Di Mo Jiu, "Don''t move, be careful of falling down."


    Seeing that Di Mo Jiu did not seem to be joking around, she silently leaned her head on his shoulder. Being hugged by Di Mo Jiu gave her a sense of security, her gaze was always fixed on the side of Di Mo Jiu''s face which was as cold as ice. When Di Mo Jiu saw that she was not moving, he steadily walked forward.


    Di Mo Jiu placed Jun Qiyan on the bed and frowned, "You''ve lost weight."


    Hearing Di Mo Jiu say this, Jun Qiyan realized that she had yet to tell him her good news. "Let me tell you a piece of good news, I''ve become a disciple of Master Words!"


    "Words?" Di Mo Jiu frowned, "What''s going on?"


    "I only found out about it after the match, look," Jun Qianyan took out the jade pendant that she kept in her pocket and showed it to Di Mo Jiu, "This is a letter from the Wordmaster, but I still don''t know how to use it to find the Wordmaster."


    Di Mo Jiu took it over and carefully examined it. The jade was warm to the touch, the jade was exquisite without a single flaw. Looking carefully, there was a red light flowing inside it.


    "There is a drop of blood in this jade pendant. It should be the blood of that word. Try to drip a drop of your own blood."


    Di Mo Jiu passed the jade pendant to Jun Qiyan.


    When Jun Qiyan heard this, he bit his finger without hesitation and dripped a drop of his blood.


    The blood dripped onto the jade and quickly seeped into the jade. However, there was no response.


    "Since you already have the jade pendant, you won''t lose it. Let''s put aside the matter of finding the words first, what you need to do now is to get a good night''s sleep. For the sake of the competition, you definitely haven''t taken good care of yourself these past few days."


    Hearing Di Mo Jiu''s intimate words, Jun Qianyan felt a bit uncomfortable, "I know, you should also go rest. It''s getting late."


    "I''ll leave after you sleep."


    As Jun Qiyan lay on his bed, he closed his eyes. Perhaps it was because he hadn''t slept at all these days, and because his spirit energy had been consumed too much. It didn''t take long for him to fall asleep.


    Di Mo Jiu who was sitting beside the bed saw that Jun Qiyan had fallen asleep so he reached out his hand to touch her forehead and injected a bit of spiritual power to help her sleep more soundly.


    Di Mo Jiu took a long look at Jun Qiyan, and then disappeared from her room.


    Not long after Di Mo Jiu had disappeared, the curtains in the room suddenly moved without any wind, a figure suddenly appeared in the room as if a hole had been torn in the air.


    Step by step, the man walked to the bedside and picked up the jade pendant placed by the side of Jun Qiyan''s bed.


    "Brilliant, she looks exactly the same as you ¡­"


    When he first saw her, he thought that she had come back to life. However, this woman didn''t have any response to his Blood Spirit Jade, which meant that she wasn''t a match for it.


    Jun Qiyan was in a dream, and his brows were slightly furrowed. He stretched out his hand to touch Jun Qianyan''s forehead, but before he could touch her, his sharp hand grabbed her wrist.


    Perhaps she didn''t realize that the sleeping Jun Qiyan was this alert, and her words were caught red-handed. At this time, Jun Qiyan also realized that something was wrong, and she abruptly opened her eyes to find a strange but extremely handsome man in front of her. She immediately snapped out of her daze and asked, "Who are you?!"


    For some unknown reason, Jun Qiyan sensed a somewhat familiar aura coming from this man. It was as if he had appeared by her side before.


    However, when she saw that the man was still holding her jade pendant and her gaze became unfriendly, she extended her hand to take back her jade pendant. However, before she could use her move, she saw the man take out a jade pendant that was similar to her own, causing her hand to freeze on the spot.


    President An Jiang had said that this was a token from the Words Grandmaster. Then, was this man, who had the exact same jade pendant, the Words Grandmaster?


    "You are... Master Words? " Jun Qiyan probed, but in his heart, he already knew the identity of the man in front of him.


    The old man coldly looked at her but didn''t say anything. He only placed the jade pendant back in her hand and turned his back to her as if he was about to leave.


    Jun Qiyan hurriedly called out, "Master Wordmaster, have you come on some business this time?"


    It wasn''t easy to meet him in person, so he couldn''t just let him leave like this. No matter what, he had to say a few words!

 C262

    However, he directly disappeared from the room without replying.


    Jun Qiyan was stunned. "He disappeared just like that?!"


    Suddenly, a voice rang out in the empty room. This voice caused Jun Qiyan to subconsciously think that it was the voice of a great speech master. "Bring the Essence Purification Pill to the Floating Cloud Cliff to find me."


    "Bone Ablutionary Dan?!" When Jun Qianyan heard the name of this pill, she felt a great pressure on her heart. The Bone Ablutionary Dan was a true grade seven pill, and was considered a high-grade pill.


    She swallowed her saliva and asked into the air, "What if there isn''t?"


    But at this time, there was no sound. Jun Qiyan thought that he had already left. "Then you don''t have to come and find me."


    Did this mean that she wouldn''t acknowledge her status as a inner disciple until she obtained the Bone Ablutionary Dan Bead?! Jun Qianyan felt that she had suffered too much. "Words master, words master?!"


    She tried to negotiate with Master Words again, but there was no response.


    Jun Qiyan held the jade pendant and made a face. Forget about it. Let''s sleep first, then we can discuss the countermeasures with Di Mo Jiu after we wake up.


    Huang Yuanyuan had been keeping an eye on Jun Qiyan''s room the entire time. When she saw a man in a cyan robe come out of her room, she hurried to catch up with him.


    But that person didn''t seem to care about the person chasing after him. Seeing that they were about to leave the courtyard, Huang Yuanyuan couldn''t help but use her spiritual force to rush straight to the front of the speech, "Master Words!"


    He stood still with a cold expression and asked, "Who?"


    It really was him!


    Huang Yuanyuan looked at this face, it was exactly the same as the one she saw when she was young. Her voice was slightly agitated, and it was trembling, completely different from her usual arrogant face, "Don''t you remember me, 20 years ago you saved me at the Cloud Sky Cliff. I''m called Huang Yuanyuan, and it was also because of you that I''ve made up my mind to become an alchemist.


    Huang Yuanyuan thought of the person that appeared in front of her for more than 20 years, but she didn''t seem like herself anymore. She kept talking, trying to talk more with the master.


    At that time, he was searching for medicinal herbs on the Floating Cloud Cliff, but unexpectedly found a little girl who had fainted in the snow. He had only casually thrown the girl into a cave at the side because the girl had blocked his medicinal herbs.


    He had cultivated for a thousand years, and had become indifferent to everything around him. He could not wait to listen to his words, so he made a decision and disappeared in front of Huang Yuanyuan.


    When Huang Yuanyuan saw him leave, she was happy no matter what. She finally saw him again. She must, must become an even stronger pill refiner. One day, she would make the word master remember her name!


    In her dreams, she would often see the scene of Jun Mo Chen''s meridians being cut off, and the tragic scene of him suffering when he opened the door after hearing the grievous news of his death when returning to the Jun residence.


    "Mo Chen, grandpa!" Jun Qiyan loudly shouted in his dreams, "No, those are her loved ones!" The Sword Spirit Sect had a deep grudge against them in the sea of blood!


    "Qiyan, Qiyan? Wake up! "


    When Di Mo Jiu came to Jun Qiyan''s room to sleep, all he saw was the scene of Jun Qianyan falling into a nightmare while sweating profusely. As he injected his spirit energy to stabilize Jun Qiyan''s emotions, he also gently woke her up.


    Jun Qiyan suddenly came back to reality with bloodshot eyes. She stared blankly at Di Mo Jiu, as if she had not yet recovered from her dream.


    At this moment, Jun Qiyan''s eyes were bloodshot, filled with unease and pain. Her face was pale, as Di Mo Jiu had never seen her in such a state before. He could not help but feel some pity for this woman in front of him.


    "Did you have a nightmare?"


    "Yes." Jun Qiyan weakly nodded her head. She hadn''t been able to rest well last night, and was currently feeling exhausted.


    If someone had told Di Mo Jiu that he would feel pity for a woman in the past, Di Mo Jiu would never have believed it. However, now that Jun Qianyan was standing in front of him, not only did he feel pity for her, he even wanted to restore her face to the same expression as before, "I can help you take revenge."


    When Jun Qianyan heard this, she raised her head to look at Di Mo Jiu. Her heart was filled with gratitude towards him, but she still shook her head. "Di Mo Jiu, thank you. But I want to do this myself."


    The revenge of annihilating the clan was Xue Chou, the Sword Spirit Sect! She must do it himself!


    "If you need anything, just let me know." Di Mo Jiu and Jun Qianyan had been together for so long, he naturally knew Jun Qianyan''s temperament and didn''t force her.


    It was that jade pendant. Seeing this jade pendant, Jun Qianyan suddenly recalled what happened last night, and seriously said to Di Mo Jiu, "Speaking of which, I really have something that I want to ask of you."


    When Di Mo Jiu heard that Jun Qiyan went to his room last night, his face suddenly turned ugly, "You said he appeared in your room? Just the two of you? "


    "Yes, but to be honest, I thought that the Words Grandmaster was an old man. Who would have thought that he would actually be such a good-looking man, with a face as handsome as a god''s to describe?"


    Di Mo Jiu''s face darkened with every word that Jun Qianyan spoke. When Jun Qianyan had finished speaking, Di Mo Jiu''s face was already so dark that it could drip ink.


    "I heard that he has lived for hundreds of years. He might really be an old man." Di Mo Jiu opened his mouth to guess.


    Jun Qiyan looked disapproving. "Sigh, you can''t put it like that. People who cultivate have a longer lifespan than ordinary people, and the deeper the cultivation, the longer the lifespan. The fact that a Master of Words can live for hundreds of years means that his spirit energy must be deep and his luck prolonged."


    Di Mo Jiu didn''t know what was going on with him, he just didn''t want to see Jun Qiyan praise another man like that. He got up angrily and left Jun Qiyan''s room.


    Jun Qiyan looked at Di Mo Jiu leaving with a strange expression on his face. He had said it so well, how did he leave just like that?


    However, since Di Mo Jiu''s temper was so temperamental, Jun Qianyan didn''t care too much about it. Now that she had obtained the letter from the Words Grandmaster, she definitely wanted him to be her personal disciple.


    Previously, if he wanted to become President An Jiang''s personal disciple, he would have to accumulate his own strength. However, it was different for Master Yuanyu. If he could obtain President An Jiang''s true inheritance, then his grandfather and brother would definitely be able to walk out of this difficult situation.


    Jun Qiyan''s biggest hope was for Jun Mo Chen to return to his original appearance.

 C263

    He stood at the peak of Floating Cloud Cliff, drooping his head as he gazed at the myriad of things below the cliff. Ten kilometers around him were green grass and flowers. Every plant had a strange aroma.


    Floating Cloud Cliff was famous for being a desolate and cold place. It was covered with snow all year round, and there were no signs of humans or animals. One could only see the unmelting snow all over the mountain, and no one had ever been to the top of Floating Cloud Cliff.


    It was not only because of the snow that fell all year round on the Flowing Cloud Mountain, but also because it was said that the snow on the Flowing Cloud Mountain would confuse people, and those who came to the Flowing Cloud Mountain would never return.


    Hundreds of years ago, when he came to the Floating Cloud Mountain, his eyes were filled with snow, and not a single blade of grass grew.


    Scorching Flower was the Saint Daughter of Peach Blossom. The child she gave birth to definitely had the mark of a peach flower on his face, but when he looked at Jun Qiyan''s face, there was not the slightest trace of a mark.


    He had speculated that Jun Qiyan might be the reincarnation of Scorching Flower, but her blood and spirit energy didn''t react at all to his blood spirit jade.


    That day, before he could examine Jun Qiyan''s face, she had awoken from her sleep. Fine, we''ll wait for her to come to Floating Cloud Cliff and test her.


    With a wave of his sleeve, clouds gathered together before his eyes, slowly transforming into an image, which was none other than Jun Qiyan.


    At the moment, Jun Qiyan was packing up her things and leaving the Alchemy Association.


    The selection competition had already come to an end. Currently, no one in the Pill Refining Association didn''t know that she was a personal disciple of the Words Grandmaster. Only she herself knew that the Grandmaster did not acknowledge her.


    However, this did not stop her from continuing with her status as a Master Wordmaster in the Alchemy Association. One of her hobbies right now was to watch President An Jiang cut off his flesh.


    "Little Jun, are you leaving now?" President An Jiang heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the burden on Jun Qianyan. Good heavens, this Jun Qianyin had dug up countless strange flowers and herbs during his Alchemy Forging Conference. Each and every one of them was filled with blood and sweat, and each and every one of them was a precious treasure.


    "Does President An intend to keep me here for two more days?" Jun Qiyan asked.


    When An Jiang heard this, his complexion immediately changed, "Jun''er, you''re right, I want to keep you here for two more days, but your grandfather has just recovered from a severe illness, and your brother is not fully recovered yet. As the daughter of the Jun Family, I know that you want to return home, but I don''t want to keep you here any longer." An Jiang had spoken his first words in a beautiful and melodious manner.


    Lu Fei, who was standing behind An Jiang, heard their conversation and winked at Pei Shu before laughing.


    This stingy guild leader.


    When Jun Qiyan came, she came alone, and when she left, Di Mo Jiu was by her side.


    When he returned to the Eastern Tomb Kingdom, Jun Qianyan immediately went back to the Jun residence to visit Jun Xuanfeng and Jun Mo Chen.


    The Jun residence had been renovated and renovated, and the original bloodstained lintel had been replaced, but even so, when Jun Qiyan stepped into the mansion, she was still grieving for the members of the Jun Family who had died miserably.


    She didn''t want her grandfather to see her preoccupied state of mind. She pushed the door open and entered, only to see that Jun Xuanfeng''s spirit had improved a lot. Jun Yunrue heaved a sigh of relief as she asked, "Grandpa, how is Brother?"


    Jun Xuanfeng sighed as he heard Jun Qianyan talk about Jun Mo Chen, "This matter is the biggest blow to him."


    The grandfather-grandson pair in the room didn''t know what to say, and Jun Qianyan hated the Sword Spirit Sect to the bones. How could her brother, who was the pride of the heavens, be humiliated by them for nothing!


    After seeing Jun Xuanfeng, Jun Qiyan went to Jun Mo Chen''s room.


    She watched as her brother sat quietly on his wheelchair, unable to do anything. Suddenly, Jun Mo Chen moved, and tried to pick up a teacup; his fingers were trembling as he touched the teacup, and before he could pick it up, he lost his strength and spilled water all over the table.


    The expression on Jun Mo Chen''s face looked as though he was used to it, but also as if he was grieving at the same time. After a long while, he wiped the tea on the table clean, and pretended that nothing had happened.


    This scene caused Jun Qiyan''s eyes to turn red as she watched from the shadows.


    However, she didn''t dare to appear in front of Jun Mo Chen again, and quietly left his room.


    When Jun Qiyan arrived at the garden, not only did she have to seek revenge from the Sword Spirit Sect, she also had to heal Jun Mo Chen''s injuries!


    Thinking of this, she started to write down the names of the herbs again and again. Her meridians were all broken, her dantian was damaged, and she had lost all of her spiritual energy.


    First, he had to repair his Dantian before he could circulate his spirit energy.


    What is the recipe for repairing the Dantian?


    Jun Qiyan tried very hard to recall the memories in his mind. There was a thousand-year-old Blood Bone Ginseng, Nine Revolutions Primordial Grass, Dragon Sesame Thread, Black Scaled Gallbladder, and Roots ¡­


    Looking at the list he made, Jun Qianyan was a bit discouraged. Each of these herbs was a rare treasure in the Eastern Tomb Kingdom. Some of them even appeared in ancient books. What should he do with the high grade Bone Ablutionary Dan Beads ¡­


    Just as Jun Qiyan was thinking about how to deal with the herbs, Di Mo Jiu appeared in front of her and handed her a jade box.


    "What is this?" Jun Qiyan looked at the jade box that Di Mo Jiu had placed in front of her. The box was carved with exquisite runes and was about the size of a palm.


    "Open it and take a look."


    She reached out to lift the lid of the box. Inside was an extremely beautiful flower. Surprisingly, it was the whisk root that she had listed in one of the recipes.


    Jun Qiyan abruptly raised his head to look at Di Mo Jiu, but he was caught unawares by Di Mo Jiu''s deep eyes. For a moment, neither of them spoke.


    "This has a miraculous effect on repairing meridians."


    "Thank you."


    "No need to be so polite." Di Mo Jiu didn''t like Jun Qiyan''s courtesy. He saw the prescription placed on the stone table, took a look at it, and saw that the root was on it. He continued to read, pausing in the line of Black Scale Bile, "The Sword Spirit Sect has Black Scale Bile."


    "What?!" Upon hearing Di Mo Jiu''s words, Jun Qianyan was first stunned, then her eyes lit up, "That''s great! I was going to get even with them! "


    "Black scale gall is the secret treasure of the sword sect. It''s probably not that easy to find."


    "How can they defend themselves? The Sword Spirit Sect should not have existed for a long time!" Jun Qiyan''s words were full of disgust now that the Sword Spirit Sect had been mentioned.


    "If you want to do something, then do it boldly. I won''t stop you; it''s just a little bit," Di Mo Jiu said slowly as he looked at Jun Qiyan. "Don''t let yourself get hurt."


    When these words entered Jun Qiyan''s ears, she felt as if a small stone had fallen into a lake, causing ripples in her heart. She did not disperse even after a long time.


    Don''t let yourself get hurt.


    Was this what Di Mo Jiu had said ¡­

 C264

    Don''t hurt yourself...


    Was this what Di Mo Jiu had said ¡­


    Di Mo Jiu was concerned about her mother?


    Jun Qiyan felt that something was very wrong with her. She felt that when she heard these words, she seemed to have smelled the spring breeze, and that countless flowers were blooming before her. However, it was obviously the end of autumn, so where did the fragrance and spring breeze come from ¡­


    "You just said ¡­" "What?" Jun Qiyan''s train of thought suddenly became somewhat sluggish. She felt that her mind had already become somewhat unable to keep up with the tempo.


    Di Mo Jiu slowly approached Jun Qiyan, their faces were so close to each other that Jun Qiyan had even forgotten to breathe. She had never seen Di Mo Jiu at such a close distance before.


    "Protect yourself well and don''t let yourself be injured. If you are injured, your grandfather would already be this old. I''m afraid he wouldn''t be able to receive any sort of shock." Di Mo Jiu''s voice was faint, seemingly carrying some sort of emotion, but if one listened carefully, there was nothing in it.


    Upon hearing these words, a trace of disappointment flashed through Jun Qianyan''s heart. She didn''t know what to make of this disappointment, but she dismissed the distracting thoughts in her head. "Of course I''ll protect myself well."


    Di Mo Jiu lowered his eyes and looked at the foolish girl in front of him, a trace of obscure emotion flashed past his eyes.


    Jun Qianyan rarely touched on matters of the heart, and her unfathomable emotions were forgotten in the blink of an eye. Since Di Mo Jiu did not stop her from seeking revenge against the Sword Spirit Sect, she had to plan things out now.


    After returning to her own room, she thought about how she went to bomb the headquarters of the Sword Spirit Sect the other day. She guessed that the Sword Spirit Sect must have been prepared by now.


    She summoned the Octadic Snake. "Master, what orders do you have?"


    "You snakes should be the smartest. Come with me to the Sword Spirit Sect this time."


    There was a line of black lines on the head of the Baji Snake. No matter what, he was still the king of snakes, yet his master had sent him to do this kind of unskilled work. However, he had long gotten used to Jun Qianyan''s "bullying" and nodded his head in resignation.


    No matter how overpowered he was, he was still the master he recognized with tears in his eyes.


    Jun Qianyan didn''t tell this matter to Jun Xuanfeng as she didn''t want her grandfather to worry about her. She searched for an entire night before setting off with the Octadic Great Snake.


    The headquarters of the Sword Spirit Sect wasn''t too far from the capital. However, when he infiltrated the sect this time, the security inside had increased significantly. Jun Qiyan quietly sneaked into an empty room and released the Octadic Snake.


    The huge snake flicked its tongue, and the tens of tiny snakes that had transformed into illusions swished away along the corner of the wall.


    In less than a quarter of an hour, more and more small snakes returned.


    "Master, we haven''t found any traces of the Black Scale Bile, but something seems to be amiss in the area behind the mountain of the Sword Spirit Sect." The Octadic Snake had just transformed its own spirit energy into dozens of small snakes that roamed all over the Sword Spirit Sect, but it didn''t find anything strange. However, it seemed to have suffered some kind of restriction when it went to the back mountain of the Sword Spirit Sect.


    "Behind the mountain? The Sword Spirit Sect still has a back mountain? " Jun Qiyan did not recall seeing something like the back mountain of the Sword Spirit Sect when he went there that day.


    "Yes, it''s in the back of a building. It''s as if someone placed a restriction on it."


    "Maybe it''s where the Black Scale Bile is. Let''s go take a look."


    Jun Qiyan walked along the wall and arrived at the pavilion with the help of the Octadic Snake. As soon as he arrived there, he realized that something was wrong. The atmosphere around the building was extremely strange, as if there was a turbulence in the air.


    Black Scaled Gall was the tail scale of a thousand-year-old Black Tailed Carp. Even if it had its own spiritual energy, it still wouldn''t have such a fluctuating aura.


    "Master, there''s no one in that building."


    Jun Qiyan jumped into the room through a window, her feet touching the ground.


    She took out a Luminous Pearl from her sleeve and examined her surroundings. She discovered that this seemed to be the sword spirit sect''s ancestral hall. On it hung a portrait of the previous sect master and Great Elder.


    The decorations of the pavilion were very simple. Three rows of memorial tablets were placed in the south, and the Soul Comforting Incense was burning in the incense burner.


    Jun Qiyan looked at the name on it with disgust. This Sword Spirit Sect knew how to put on a decent appearance.


    Every previous sect leader would have a praying mat under their portrait that they would need when they paid their respects. She swept her gaze across the faces of those hypocrites one by one, her expression filled with loathing.


    When he saw the current Great Elder, Jun Qiyan''s hand stopped moving, and he couldn''t help but size up the man in the portrait a few times. He was about forty years old, and wore the sect uniform of an elder of the Sword Spirit Sect.


    She seemed to have seen it somewhere before.


    While Jun Qiyan was sizing up the area, the Octadic Snake wasn''t idle either. He searched the pavilion inch by inch, "Master, there''s a secret door."


    The voice of the Baji Snake interrupted Jun Qiyan''s train of thoughts. She remembered her mission this time and quickly walked in the direction of the Baji Snake. She couldn''t help but glance back at the portrait hanging on the wall. Why did it look so familiar?


    "These old fellows really know how to hide their traps. If it wasn''t for the fact that I, the Occult Snake, was a wise man, I would''ve been fooled by them as well."


    When Jun Qiyan arrived at this place, he discovered that the hidden door that the Octadic Snake had found was actually hidden under one of the tablets. Just as she was about to touch the tablet with her hand, her ears twitched as she and the Octopus Snake glanced at each other almost simultaneously.


    Someone was coming!


    Jun Qiyan didn''t have time to think any further. He scanned his surroundings and jumped onto the roof beam.


    Just as Jun Qiyan was about to hide himself, the door to the pavilion was pushed open and a man entered with a lantern in his hand.


    By the light of the lanterns, Jun Qiyan was able to clearly see that face. Wasn''t that the face of the current Sect Master that was hanging on the wall? Why had he come to the ancestral hall in the middle of the night?


    Worship the ancestors? Pray for the dead?


    Jun Qiyan held her breath as she watched the newcomers.


    After entering the ancestral hall, the Sect Leader of the Sword Spirit Sect looked around and then walked to the spot where Jun Qiyan had been preparing to touch the tablet just now. He placed her palm on the tablet, turned it around to the left, and then turned it three times to the right.


    An uncontrollable aura of chaos gushed out from the underground entrance and the head of the Sword Spirit Sect walked straight down the path.


    After he had entered, the door was about to close by itself. Jun Feiyan didn''t have the time to think as he quickly entered the passage as well.


    She used her Spiritual Energy to conceal her aura and silently followed behind the Sect Leader of the Sword Spirit Sect without touching the ground.


    As he followed behind the Sect Leader of the Sword Spirit Sect and saw all the hidden weapons along the way, Jun Qiyan was secretly glad that he didn''t rush in just now. This made Jun Qiyan even more curious about what was hiding behind this secret passageway ¡­

 C265

    After walking behind the leader of the Sword Spirit Sect for about half an hour, she finally saw the head of the Sword Spirit Sect stop in front of a stone door. Before he entered, he had been caught off guard and looked behind him.


    The grand master turned around a few times but didn''t see anyone behind him. He finally calmed down. On the way back, he kept feeling that someone was following him. However, he didn''t see anyone else after some probing.


    However, just in case, he still chanted the chant and used his spiritual energy to create a barrier behind him. Then, he opened the stone door and entered.


    When the Sect Master of the Sword Spirit Sect entered the stone door, it was only after it was closed did Jun Qiyan appear from his hiding place. She looked at the barrier and knew that if she touched it, the owner of the technique would know.


    In order not to alert her, she naturally could not easily cross over. Fortunately, she already knew where she was, so she could only come back and scout the Sword Spirit Sect next time.


    He''d only wanted to find dark scale gall, but who would''ve thought that the Sword Spirit Sect was hiding some kind of shameful secret.


    After they left the Sword Spirit Sect along the same path they had come from, Jun Qianyan suddenly realized that the Occult Snake hadn''t spoken for a long time, "Big Snake, what''s wrong with you? Why didn''t you say anything? "


    The Octadic Snake had appeared in front of Jun Qiyan, its expression somewhat solemn.


    Although Jun Qiyan found it very amusing that a snake could have such an expression, looking at the Baji Snake''s expression, it didn''t seem like it was a joke. She stopped joking around and asked it in a similar serious tone, "What''s wrong? What did you find? "


    "Master, the tunnel just now was filled with a powerful aura." The Octadic Snake''s voice was extremely heavy. This oppressive aura made it feel familiar and uneasy. This kind of feeling was only felt when it was still a small snake. Many years had passed, but today, it felt it again.


    "Pressure?" Jun Qiyan wore an expression of inexplicable wonder. Why didn''t she feel it at all?


    "Right, this feeling is something I haven''t experienced for a long time. It seems to be the aura of a very, very powerful thing." Baji tried to describe his feelings to Jun Qiyan.


    "Is that thing a beast?" Jun Qiyan''s peach blossom eyes slightly narrowed as a thoughtful look appeared in them.


    The Octadic Snake nodded, "The closer I get to the door, the more fear and submission I feel. In all of history, I, Baji, have never been afraid of anyone. To be able to make me feel like this, the things inside are definitely not simple."


    Jun Qiyan frowned. "It seems that the Sword Spirit Sect really has quite a few secrets. We''ll go explore that secret chamber another day."


    On the second day, Jun Qiyan was the first to go to the palace. After all, when she was not here, Di Yaming had helped her take care of her grandfather and Mo Chen, as well as the graciousness of the medicine. Furthermore, as a member of the royal family, Di Yaming also had a good understanding of the Sword Spirit Sect.


    Di Yeming met with Jun Qiyan in the Imperial Garden.


    "I''ve heard that you''ve become one of the disciples of the Words Grandmaster. Congratulations to you." Di Yeming had a very sincere expression on his face.


    However, only Jun Qianyan knew that the task given to her by the Words Grandmaster had yet to be completed. Seeing that the pot of water that the Words Grandmaster had yet to boil had already been brought up by Di Yaming, Jun Qianyan helplessly said, "The first reason I came to see you was to thank you for taking care of the Jun Family while I was not around. The second reason is because of Mo Chen."


    "If you have anything I can help you with, feel free to mention it."


    "I want to heal Mo Chen''s wounds, but the ingredients needed are Dragon Sesame Thread, Vermillion Bird Root, and Black Scale Bile ¡­" As Jun Qiyan reported the name of the drug, he observed Di Yeming''s expression.


    Hearing her mention dark scale courage, Di Yaming frowned, "I don''t know, do you have any clues about these herbs?"


    "I''ve heard some rumors about this Dragon-Sesame Thread. They say that it can be found in the Flying Fire Valley, and that it is unique to the Spiritual Arts Pavilion. As for this Blackscale Bile ¡­"


    "Do the Blackscale Bile have any clues?" Jun Qiyan pressed on step by step.


    Di Yaming looked at Jun Qianyan with a somewhat conflicted expression. Jun Qianyan''s eyes turned cold when she saw this. She said, "If you don''t want to say it, then forget it. Jun Qianyan will take her leave."


    "Hey, you ¡­" Di Yaming grabbed Jun Qiyan''s wrist as she was about to leave. "I''m not done yet, why are you in such a hurry ¡­"


    "Reporting to the crown prince, the portraits have been prepared." At this moment, a young eunuch suddenly entered the imperial garden with several scrolls of painting in his hands.


    "Alright, you can put it on the table for now. I''ll take a look later." Di Yaming waved his hand at that eunuch, signaling him to step down.


    The eunuch glanced at Di Yaming, who was grabbing Jun Qiyan''s wrist, and hurriedly lowered his head. He thought about the rumors circulating in the palace and felt frightened and uneasy that he had ruined the crown prince''s plans.


    Seeing the eunuch leave, Di Yaming explained to Jun Qianyan, "I''ve heard about this Blackscale Bile before. Seeing the eunuch leave, Di Yaming explained to Jun Qianyan," I''ve heard that this Blackscale Bile is the Sword Spirit Sect''s treasure guarding the sect.


    Only after hearing Di Yaming''s explanation did Jun Qiyan''s facial expression improve a bit. He then recalled Jun Mo Chen''s words to remind him, "When he ascends to the throne in the future, the anger of a sovereign can sometimes be very terrifying."


    "I was impulsive." Jun Qianyan said in a low voice.


    It was the first time Di Yeming saw Jun Qiyan''s expression. "It''s good that you know it. You ¡­"


    Seeing that Di Yaming didn''t seem to be angry, Jun Qiyan''s gaze fell upon the scroll that the young eunuch had placed on the stone table. "What is this?" A picture of a beauty? "


    "No, weren''t you looking for the whereabouts of Jun Yanran and her son? I had someone draw their pictures, do you think they look similar?"


    Di Yaming opened a scroll for Jun Qianyan to see. When she saw the face on it, she was stunned for a moment. Jun Yanran''s face ¡­


    In her mind, she quickly recalled the portrait of the Great Elder she had seen in the shrine last night. No wonder that Great Elder looked so familiar. Wasn''t he exactly similar to Jun Yanran?


    Why did the two of them look so similar!


    Jun Qiyan thought about how the Sword Spirit Sect had annihilated the Jun Family, but Jun Yanran and her son''s whereabouts were unknown, and how the Sword Spirit Sect''s Great Elder was so similar to Jun Yanran ¡­


    An extremely shocking thought suddenly appeared in her mind. Could it be that Jun Yanran''s mother and the great elder of the Sword Spirit Sect ¡­?


    "Qiyan, what happened to you?" Di Yeming didn''t understand the meaning behind Jun Qiyan''s expression. "Could it be that those painters didn''t draw the same thing?" "It seems like it''s not bad ¡­"


    "What are you two doing?!"


    An angry shout came from behind the two of them.

 C266

    When Di Mo Jiu came back from the outside, he heard that Jun Mo Xie had gone to the palace to see Di Ye Ming. Di Mo Jiu was worried that something might happen to her, so he also entered the palace.


    However, with his sharp and discerning eyes, he heard the whispers of many palace maids and eunuchs along the way. What Jun Qiyan doing before she left for the Alchemy Assembly? She appeared in Di Yeming''s sleeping quarters in a disorganized state, or she could chat with him in the imperial garden after she returned from the Alchemy Assembly ¡­


    Every word was passed down through the nose and face, causing the black face of Di Mo Jiu to drip with ink.


    "It''s true. I just saw the Crown Prince holding Miss Jun''s hand when I went to deliver the scrolls. I''m afraid that the candidate for the Crown Prince''s consort is none other than Miss Jun!"


    "What is the crime of speaking nonsense in the palace?" Di Mo Jiu appeared behind the group of palace maids and eunuchs who were discussing Di Yeming and Jun Qianyan.


    When the group of palace maids and eunuchs heard these words, they immediately dispersed, not daring to continue their conversation.


    Di Mo Jiu held his breath and hurried back to the imperial garden. He saw Di Yaming and Jun Qiyan "very close" to the same painting, laughing and talking. He could not help but yell out in anger, "What are you two doing?!"


    Hearing the familiar voice, Jun Qiyan turned around and saw Di Mo Jiu. "Di Mo Jiu, why are you here?"


    Hearing this, Di Mo Jiu''s face turned even more unsightly. Hearing these heartless words, did they mean that he did not want to come, or that he had come to disturb them?


    "Jun Mo Chen is looking for you." Di Mo and Di Jiu said in a cold tone.


    He looked at Di Yeming with an unfriendly gaze.


    Di Yaming felt the hostility in Di Mo Jiu''s eyes and was completely confused.


    However, Jun Qiyan didn''t notice the war between the two of them. "What business does Big Brother Mo Chen have with me?"


    "I don''t know. Are you going back to the Jun Family?"


    Jun Qiyan nodded and said goodbye to Di Yeming, "I''ll come and find you another time." As for the Sword Spirit Sect, Jun Qiyan still didn''t understand many things.


    Along the way, she kept thinking about the relationship between the Jun Family and the Grand Elder. Would her grandfather know?


    Being ignored, Di Mo Jiu''s mood was even worse. Just now, when he separated from Di Yeming, what other day was he going to come and find Ye Xiwen? Why didn''t he hear this when he was separated from this woman?


    When Jun Qiyan returned to the Jun residence, she first went to find Jun Mo Chen, "Mo Chen, you were looking for me?"


    Jun Mo Chen was at a loss, but when he saw the darkened face of Di Mo Jiu behind Jun Qiyan, he suddenly realized what was going on, "Ah, I''ve seen that you''ve been in the palace for a long time, and was worried that something might have happened to you."


    "So that''s the case. Rest assured, I won''t act rashly right now. Moreover, Di Yeming is not a bad person, so nothing will happen to me."


    Di Mo Jiu slammed the door and left without waiting for Jun Mo Chen''s response!


    The siblings watched as Di Mo Jiu left in a rage. They glanced at each other, only to see confusion in each other''s eyes.


    "Master, go and coax him. Lord Devil God seems to be angry." The Octadic Snake had been staying in the space well, and had been shocked out of its rage by Di Mo Jiu.


    "He''s angry? "Why is he so angry?"


    As the Octadic Snake looked at the confused Jun Qiyan, he silently sighed. If he had known what the Lord Demon God was thinking, he wouldn''t have ended up like this.


    Although he didn''t know what Di Mo Jiu was angry about, but it seemed that he was not lightly angered. Jun Qiyan felt that Di Mo Jiu''s recent temper was getting worse and worse.


    However, she wanted to know if the relationship between the Sword Spirit Sect''s Great Elder and Jun Yanran''s mother was as she had imagined.


    She went back to her room and listed her findings one by one. In the middle of the night, Di Mo Jiu still hadn''t come back. She thought about the mirror Di Mo Jiu had given her before. It was cold.


    She injected a trace of spiritual power into the mirror, and immediately found Di Mo Jiu''s location. "Di Mo Jiu, where are you?"


    What answered her was Di Mo Jiu''s cold face.


    She looked through the mirror and found that Di Mo Jiu seemed to be in a bamboo forest. In the bamboo forest in the capital, there seemed to be only the Cloud Mist Forest. "Are you in the Cloud Mist Forest?"


    "Yes." Di Mo Jiu answered her this time, it was only a short word, and his mouth was wide open.


    Jun Qiyan sighed. "Stay there and don''t move. I''ll go find you."


    Fortunately, the Cloud Mist Forest wasn''t too far away from the Jun Family. Jun Qianyan flew on the roof and soon found the Cloud Mist Forest. Under the guidance of the cold Qi, she was able to find Di Mo Jiu''s location, however, Di Mo Jiu didn''t seem like he wanted to see her at all, "Di Mo Jiu! Di Mo Jiu! "


    Di Mo Jiu walked quickly, and even after using his spiritual power, Jun Qianyan was still almost unable to keep up.


    Jun Qiyan clenched his teeth as he directed his Qi to rush to Di Mo Jiu''s front. Di Mo Jiu''s footsteps had stopped, but his face was still unsightly.


    "Di Mo Jiu, what happened to you?" Jun Qiyan looked up at him.


    "You like Di Yeming?" Di Mo Jiu asked her in a low voice.


    Jun Qiyan was struck dumb by this sudden question, "Who? Di Yeming? I don''t really like it, but I don''t hate it right now. "


    Jun Qiyan thought that Di Mo Jiu was only asking her how she felt about Di Yeming.


    "What about me?" Di Mo Jiu asked again.


    "You? "Of course you''re better than Di Yeming." Jun Qiyan replied without hesitation.


    At this moment, the dark clouds that had been shrouding Di Mo Jiu''s chest for the whole afternoon suddenly vanished. "Am I better than Di Yeming?" His tone was one of indescribable pleasure.


    "That''s right. You''re helping me like this, yet you''re thinking of me everywhere. Although your temper is a bit bad, you''re a very good person indeed." Jun Qiyan carefully counted the benefits of Di Mo Jiu.


    "My temper is bad?" No one had ever dared to say that Di Mo Jiu''s temper was bad. Di Mo Jiu felt that those dark clouds were about to cover the sky again.


    "Do you even have any points on your own? Just like this afternoon, and also just now, I got mad for some inexplicable reason. " After spending so much time with Di Mo Jiu, Jun Qianyan had long regarded him as a close friend of his. He didn''t care about some things as he said, "What''s the term ''temperamental''? Yes, temperamental ''!"


    Di Mo Jiu felt as if his back teeth were about to be crushed by his own teeth, this stupid woman actually said that he had a bad temper, she said that he was temperamental!


    His eyes were wide open as he glared at Jun Qianyan, who retreated step by step as he stared at her until he felt a bamboo shoot up his back. "What are you doing?"


    "Tell me what I''ll do!" Di Mo Jiu and Jun Qiyan were extremely close at this moment. Their bodies were almost touching, and they could feel each other''s breath on their nose.


    Jun Qiyan felt a little uncomfortable towards this distance. She wanted to push Di Mo Jiu away, but before her hand could even touch Di Mo Jiu''s shoulder, she was grabbed by his wrist. Immediately, she could feel something warm sticking to her lips.


    She suddenly widened her eyes ¡­

 C267

    "Master, you don''t seem to be doing well these days." The round ball floated in front of Jun Qiyan''s eyes, with a probing look in its eyes. "Did something happen?"


    The night before, when Master came back, he was completely distracted. He only knew that Master went to the bamboo forest to look for the Demon God and what happened afterwards, but he didn''t know.


    Just as she was reminiscing about what Di Mo Jiu had done to her that night, Jun Qianyan regained her senses. "Fa ¡­" What happened? Nothing, nothing happened, "Jun Qiyan said uncomfortably as she slammed the table," I was just thinking about the Sword Spirit Sect.


    When it came to the Sword Spirit Sect, Jun Qianyan felt that things should be done without delay. She should investigate the Sword Spirit Sect as soon as possible, and immediately eliminate those distracting thoughts from her mind.


    Jun Qiyan was dressed in black when the moon rose above her head. She arrived at the loft at the back of the Sword Spirit Sect in just a few rounds under the cover of the dark night.


    After checking that there was no one around, she carefully entered the pool.


    With great familiarity, he arrived at the tablet. Following the Sect Leader''s example, he rotated the tablet and opened the entrance to the underground passage.


    Before entering, the Octadic Snake retreated a little, "Master, the aura inside is too uncomfortable, I can only go to the Multicolored Stone to hide. However, I will turn my spiritual sense into a small snake to guard the surroundings for you."


    Jun Qiyan nodded and waved her hand, collecting the Octadic Snake into the Multicolored Stone.


    Last time, he was too busy following the Sect Leader of the Sword Spirit Sect and didn''t have the time to pay attention to the situation in the underground passage.


    There was a very long staircase in the tunnel, and there was a thick layer of dust on both sides of the stairs. However, the middle part was quite clean. It seemed that the head of the Sword Spirit Sect often came here.


    However, would this secret only be known by the sect master of the Sword Spirit Sect, or would ¡­


    Following her memories, she arrived in front of the stone door. When she got closer to look, she discovered that there were many strange engravings on the stone door, and it did not look like any ordinary ornament. It seemed to be some kind of rune and incantation from the Daoist school.


    "Master, the engravings on this stone door seem to be like some sort of seal." The voice of the Octadic Snake suddenly rang out in Jun Qiyan''s mind.


    Seal?


    What was sealed here?


    The Sect Leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect had set up a barrier behind him, making it impossible for Jun Qiyan to see clearly what the Sect Leader had done. She observed her surroundings, trying to find any flaws.


    As he knocked on the door, he suddenly felt a loose stone block. Jun Qiyan''s heart stirred. She pressed the button, and the stone door opened.


    Jun Qiyan was surprised to see that the stone door was so thick and heavy, there was not even the slightest sound when it was opened.


    A strong wave of intimidating aura gushed towards Jun Qiyan.


    All of a sudden, she understood what the Octadic Snake felt like.


    However, with great difficulty, there was nothing that could cause her to have the slightest intention of retreating.


    She used her Spiritual Qi to wrap around her body and quickly entered the stone door.


    After she entered, the stone door silently closed from the back.


    As soon as he entered, he saw a vast open area. Before Jun Qianyan could observe anything else, he heard a low and deep voice that was filled with undisguised ridicule. "Where did you get this little kid from?"


    The voice came from all directions, but there was no clear source of the voice. Jun Qiyan looked around, trying to find the source of the voice. "Who is speaking?"


    "Ho ¡­ There is no need to know the name of a person who is going to die. Now that you''ve delivered yourself to my doorstep, it just so happens that I am full." Just as she finished speaking, Jun Qiyan felt a strong gust of wind come from her back. She had been prepared for this, so she avoided the attack acutely.


    However, in the next second, dozens of strong gales followed. Each and every gale was aimed at Jun Qianyan''s mingmen. Jun Qianyan jumped up, and agilely resisted the incoming gales.


    "The little kid''s skill is not bad, but this senior doesn''t have the time to play with you anymore. I can''t wait to eat you!"


    As she finished speaking, Jun Qiyan felt an invisible suppressive force pressing down on her from all directions. This invisible force was completely different from the force of the gale; for a moment, she was unable to move.


    What is that thing! It actually possessed such great power!


    She gritted her teeth and used all her strength to resist the pressure. Her brain was frantically searching for a way out.


    However, before she could come up with a plan, a menacing wind blew towards her face ¡­


    In the nick of time, there was a ''clang'' sound.


    The pressure suddenly disappeared.


    An object landed in front of Jun Qiyan. That one strike had triggered the Frost Mirror.


    Di Mo Jiu''s voice came from inside. His voice was different from the past, there was even a rare nervous tone to it, "Qi? Where are you? Jun Qiyan? "Where are you?"


    However, the cold mirror was quite a distance away from Jun Qiyan, and the sound was everywhere. For a moment, Jun Qianyan didn''t hear Di Mo Jiu''s words.


    "Mirror of Frost?" The voice carried a hint of playfulness. "Where did you get such a treasure, child?"


    Seeing that Jun Qianyan was not replying, the voice did not continue asking, "However, you little child, you are just a mere cold mirror, at most you can only block this sovereign''s attack. Let this sovereign see if you have a better fate ahead of you!"


    Just as the voice was about to make its second attack, Jun Qiyan blurted out, "Do you want to be locked up here for the rest of your life?!"


    The baleful aura that had rushed to Jun Qiyan''s front suddenly stopped, and a slight gust of wind pulled at the hair at the side of Jun Qianyan''s face. Seeing that the mysterious voice had stopped its attack, the baleful aura that had charged to Jun Qianyan''s front suddenly stopped, and a slight gust of wind pulled at the hair at the side of Jun Qianyan''s face.


    "I''m sure you can tell that I''m not from the Sword Spirit Sect. I''m here to take revenge on the fact that the Sword Spirit Sect has slaughtered my entire clan." As the saying goes, there is a good chance that enemies could form an alliance. This unknown person was so powerful that it was impossible to fight him head on. He could only find another way, "If you are locked up here by the Sword Spirit Sect, I can save you."


    "With just you?" The voice spoke again, but it was full of distrust.


    He had been locked up in here for so many years, yet a little hairless child suddenly came out and said that it was going to save him. Hmph, what a joke.

 C268

    "Yes, just me." But who was Jun Qiyan? She was an unbeatable cockroach, and she could feel the urgency of that voice towards freedom. Otherwise, how could she not trust someone who had been imprisoned for so long to see a trace of hope after allowing her to speak for so long?


    "Seems like you''ve been locked up here for a long time. Aside from that old fart from the Sword Spirit Sect, you''ve only seen me before." She wanted to know how many people in the Sword Spirit Sect knew about the imprisonment of such a powerful individual.


    Jun Qiyan knew that she was right when she heard that voice. Presumably, only the Sect Leader of the Sword Spirit Sect knew of this matter.


    Even though she did not know what that mysterious sound was, it had its own reasons. Now that she had appeared, not only would she be able to help it, she would also be the only one capable of helping it. Now that she had thought about it, she was not worried at all.


    Only now did she realize that the cold mirror seemed to be communicating with Di Mo Jiu. She didn''t know how much Di Mo Jiu sounded like, "Di Mo Jiu, I''m fine, don''t worry." Jun Qiyan softly whispered to the cold mirror.


    Di Moyu heard Jun Qianyan''s voice coming from the cold mirror, and his figure sped towards the Sword Spirit Sect. From the sound of the cold mirror''s movement just now, Jun Qiyan was sure to be in danger, but fortunately the cold mirror was able to pinpoint the location of the other half.


    Jun Qiyan, you''re going to wait for me!


    At this time, due to the excessive consumption of her spirit energy, Jun Qiyan sat cross-legged on the ground and asked, "Can we talk about the terms now?"


    "If you can save me, this sovereign can promise not to eat you."


    "Then can you reveal your real body?"


    When she heard that Jun Qiyan wanted to see its real body, her mysterious voice sounded extremely arrogant. "You mortals don''t have the qualifications!"


    He added, "If you can help this sovereign successfully leave this place, I can just barely let you meet me."


    These words caused Jun Qiyan to be even more curious. Just who was this thing that was locked up here by the Sword Spirit Sect? Listening to his tone and attitude, it somehow resembled Di Mo Jiu.


    "How can I save you?" Jun Qiyan asked the mysterious voice.


    "Go get a few drops of the Sword Spirit Sect''s Sect Leader''s, Bai Qiaohu''s, blood and put it on the stone door that you came in through. Then, the seal here will be removed and then, this senior will be able to come out."


    Blood of the Sect Leader of the Sword Spirit Sect?


    This was not easy to do. The head of the Sword Spirit Sect had cultivated for dozens of years and had profound skills. Not to mention drawing blood, even the bystanders couldn''t easily get close to him.


    "Sure, I can get it for you." Jun Qiyan readily agreed. "Do you know where the Black Scale Bile is hidden in the Sword Spirit Sect?"


    "Black Scale Bile?" The tone of the voice clearly knew, "That thing was eaten by this sovereign decades ago. I''m afraid it has already turned into water in this sovereign''s stomach."


    "You ate him?!" Jun Qiyan was greatly alarmed. Black scale courage could only be found by chance. If what he said was the truth, then where could she find a demon beast like the Black Tailed Carp?


    "Why are you looking for that? In that case, I''ll swallow it all in one go when you''re a bit bigger. However, who would''ve thought that it would be both fishy and smelly. It tastes extremely bad." The voice seemed to be recalling the taste, and one could hear the loathing in the tone of the voice for the Black Scale Bile.


    Jun Qiyan suddenly thought of something. "Don''t tell me you were imprisoned here because you ate the Black Scale Bile?"


    "Hmph, so what? If it wasn''t for the fact that you mortals are all so cunning, how could this sovereign have fallen to such a stage?! " As the mysterious voice spoke these words, its tone was filled with loathing towards mortals.


    As Jun Qianyan heard the strange sound of that voice, she decided to leave first. "Then, stay here for a few more days. I''ll come find you once I''ve found the sect master''s blood."


    Before Jun Qiyan could leave, that baleful aura suddenly arrived ¡­


    When Di Mo Jiu arrived, he opened the stone door only to see a black fiendish Qi ambushing towards Jun Qiyan. Di Mo Jiu shouted, "Be careful!"


    When Jun Qianyan heard Di Mo Jiu''s voice, he was stunned for a moment. Di Mo Jiu then pulled Jun Qi Yun to the side, and Ji Mo Jiu then retreated from the fiendish aura. As Di Mo Jiu held Jun Qiyan in his arms, he gave off a kind of unreal feeling, "Di Mo Jiu, why are you here?"


    Di Mo Jiu gave Jun Qiyan a fierce glare, and quickly left the stone room with her.


    Di Mo Jiu glared angrily at Jun Qiyan when he was far away from the Sword Spirit Sect, "Why didn''t you discuss this with me before you left for this dangerous place?"


    "I, I said it already." She had indeed told Di Mo Jiu before she came to the Sword Spirit Sect.


    "You only said that you went to the Sword Spirit Sect to find dark scale gall. Why are you in the Sword Spirit Sect''s secret room? If not for the Frost Jade Mirror, how long would you have kept it from me? Do you know how dangerous you were just now? "


    Di Mo Jiu came down with a series of questions, and Jun Qianyan knew that she was in the wrong on this matter, so she admitted that she was in the wrong. "I also didn''t expect the Sword Spirit Sect to have such a big secret."


    "Hmph." Di Mo Jiu snorted coldly, his hands clasped behind his back as he walked past Jun Qianyan.


    Look, he even said that he had a good temper and got angry again!


    She hurriedly followed him and held onto Di Mo Jiu''s sleeve, "Don''t be angry yet. Listen to me, I originally went to the Sword Spirit Sect to find the Black Scale Bile and accidentally discovered the underground passage. I was curious for a moment and guessed that the Black Scale Bile was hiding there, so I went down, but who knew that I would encounter that strange thing ¡­"


    The corner of Di Mo Jiu''s eyes inadvertently swept towards Jun Feiyan''s hand which was tugging at his sleeve. As he listened to Jun Feiyan''s rambling explanation, the anger in his heart had already been greatly removed. This stupid woman.


    Jun Qiyan was still speaking, "Di Mo Jiu, did you know that monster said he ate the black-scaled gall? What exactly is he?"


    "Eat it?" Di Mo Jiu stopped in his tracks, a thoughtful look on his face.


    "Yes, that''s what he said. From his tone, it sounds like he ate him whole, and he even said that he was fishy and smelly, not tasty at all. That''s why he was sealed in that place." Jun Qiyan thought back to what the monster in the stone chamber had said.


    Di Mo Jiu frowned. Black scales dared to recognize the tail of a black-tailed carp, as well as the essence of a black-tailed carp. Naturally, it stank and stank. Hearing Jun Qiyan say that the mysterious thing was eating it raw, and the whole thing was eaten ¡­ However, if a normal person were to eat this, their body would have exploded due to being unable to absorb it. The killing intent that he had endured in the stone chamber was extremely oppressive. This kind of killing intent was not something an ordinary person could cultivate. Magical beast.


    "What about your octopus snake?"


    Jun Qiyan summoned the Occult Snake from the Nuwa Stone, "Baji, do you feel it?"

 C269

    "That person''s aura is extremely strong. Although he has the aura of a magical beast on him, he has a power that I cannot find."


    The Octadic Snake frowned, the expression on its face was a little unsightly.


    The Octadic Snake had said that there was no power to be found?


    Di Kui and Di Mo exchanged a glance, and at the same time, they could see the astonishment in each other''s eyes.


    "Mo Jiu, do you know what that is?"


    At the moment, perhaps only Di Mo Jiu would be able to help him.


    Di Mo Jiu thought for a moment and slowly said, "It could be that person."


    With that, he did not say another word, and the air became silent for a long time.


    Jun Qiyan didn''t notice Di Mo Jiu''s mood and changed the topic, "I saw the picture of the Sword Spirit Sect''s Great Elder in the pavilion. I feel that his facial features are very similar to Jun Yanran''s ¡­"


    Di Mo Jiu immediately understood Jun Qiyan''s incomplete meaning, "You''re saying ¡­"


    "Yes." Jun Qianyan had never had a good impression of Jun Family and Jun Yanran. If the Jun Family was exterminated, then they were the only ones missing. Who knows, they might have done something to the Jun Family''s extermination!


    This pair of vicious mother and daughter, they had prayed so that they wouldn''t fall into her hands. Otherwise, with her methods, she would definitely be able to make them beg for death!


    "Sovereign, why have you been feeling uneasy these past few days?" The Sword Spirit Sect''s Great Elder, Meng Huairen, asked.


    He hadn''t said a word. Ever since he returned from the sect''s secret chamber a few days ago, he''d felt a bit uneasy. However, after a thorough investigation, he didn''t find anything amiss.


    "In the past few days, how''s the progress of the sword refinement in the sect?"


    When Meng Huairen heard this, he immediately flattered, "Dragging Sovereign Hongfu, in the past few days, the swords forged by the disciples have become even sharper. When my Sect''s sword is completed, we will definitely capture that demoness Jun Yunxiao!"


    "Mm, that''s good." When Bai Qianzhang heard Jun Qianyan''s name, he gnashed his teeth in anger. He stared at Meng Huairen and said with a gloomy tone, "Did you bring the Jun mother and daughter back last time?"


    Meng Huairen''s heart rose to his throat when he heard Bai Qiuhu''s question. "Sect Master, Yanran is my child. They were brought back by me, so naturally they changed their names. Now, Yanran is surnamed Meng with me."


    Upon hearing Meng Huairen''s words, Bai Qiuhu''s expression did not turn any better. Now, in his eyes, regardless of what his surname was, he did not want to see the people who were related to Jun Qiyan before!


    "Meng Huairen, I''ll just ignore some matters and let it pass. However, how much do you know about the mother and daughter duo?"


    "Don''t worry, Master. Yanran and her daughter are naturally on our side. Otherwise, they wouldn''t have joined forces with us to destroy the Jun Family. I promise you that they will absolutely not betray our sect."


    Meng Huairen''s words were filled with sincerity as he gave his all. However, there was still doubt in his heart as he said, "You may leave first."


    "Yes." Meng Huairen lowered his head to conceal the profoundness in his eyes.


    He had followed Bai Qiuhu for so many years that he had long understood his son''s personality. At this moment, Bai Qiuhu was suspicious of Yanran and company because he wanted their lives. However, if he wanted their lives, he had to ask Meng Huairen whether he agreed or not.


    After Meng Huairen left, Bai Qiuhu still felt uneasy. He stood up and rushed to the ancestral hall before making another trip to the sect''s secret chamber.


    While Jun Qiyan had been thinking about how to get the sect head''s blood these two days, he had also made a guess with Di Mo Jiu as to where the Sword Spirit Sect was imprisoned for the sake of obtaining something.


    The Sword Spirit Sect had been established ten thousand years ago during the Great War of Gods and Demons. However, it had been depressed for a period of time. Thinking about the restriction, it was probably because of that person''s imprisonment back then ¡­


    Just as Jun Qiyan was thinking about how to obtain the blood of the white Qiu Hu, Di Mo Jiu arrived in front of her, wearing a black embroidered robe. He then handed over an item to her.


    "What is this?" Jun Qiyan picked up the small porcelain bottle and looked at Di Mo Jiu with a puzzled expression.


    "Bai Qiu Hu''s blood."


    "How did you get it?" Jun Qiyan looked at Di Mo Jiu in surprise.


    "The dark line." Di Mo Jiu didn''t want to say anything more.


    When he finally fell asleep, someone would send him a pillow. Jun Qiyan gave Di Mo Jiu a hug in pleasant surprise, and started to make her own plans in detail.


    Di Mo Jiu was already used to Jun Qiyan''s behavior of destroying the bridge after crossing the river. He looked at her smiling face and didn''t notice that his own expression had become much gentler.


    At this moment, the Sect Leader of the Sword Spirit Sect, Bai Qiuhu''s hand was wrapped in gauze, and her expression was exceptionally unpleasant.


    "Sect Head, your hand ¡­" One of the protectors of the Sect, Liu Man''er, walked in from outside and noticed the wound on Bai Qiu Hu''s hand. Before she could finish her question, she was signalled by the Great Elder, who immediately changed her words, "Sect Leader, we already know the whereabouts of that stinky girl, Jun Qianyan. She is currently in the Jun Family."


    Upon hearing Liu Man''er''s words, the white Qiu Hu said in a solemn voice, "Summon the men and prepare to act at any time."


    "However, Sovereign, the Jun residence is surrounded by the Imperial Guards, I''m afraid we can''t act rashly. Moreover, that guy, Di Mo Jiu, is always by Jun Qiyan''s side. He''s the pavilion master of the Divine Arts Pavilion, we ¡­" Liu Man''er whispered her concerns.


    With every word that Liu Man''er said, the white fur coat tiger''s face became more unsightly. As she spoke, she clenched her hands tightly and blood began to seep out from the wounds that had just been tied up.


    "Send a sound transmission to the higher ups." The Royal Guards weren''t worth mentioning in the eyes of the Sword Spirit Sect, but at the moment, he didn''t want to have any conflicts with the Imperial Family. In addition, with the Divine Arts Pavilion, his reputation in the Eastern Xuan Continent was widespread.


    He could only ask for the opinion of the people above. If the people above could agree, then his Sword Spirit Sect would be fearless!


    Liu Man''er was surprised. She didn''t expect that the White Garment Tiger would hate Jun Feiyan so much. Her enchanting body slightly leaned forward, "Yes."


    After exiting the Hall of Patriarchs, Liu Man''er caught up to Meng Huairen, "Great Elder, what happened to Sect Master''s hand? There''s also Jun Qiyan. Why does Sect Master hate her so much?"


    Meng Huairen glanced at Liu Man''er and was extremely impatient to deal with this heartless woman. "Sect Master went to the Sword Crafting Manor yesterday to look at the sword, but who would have thought that the sword beams that had just been forged would become so intense? As for the message Sect Master sent to us, let''s just do it. We should not ask about anything else that we should not ask."


    After saying that, Meng Huairen walked away. Liu Man''er snorted in disdain from behind him. However, with her seniority, she had managed to get into the position of Great Elder. What was so impressive about that?


    "You old scoundrel, you''ve been coming so many times recently. Don''t tell me you''re going to destroy the Sword Spirit Sect?" A mocking voice sounded in the stone room.


    That person saw the wound on his hand the moment he entered the room. He immediately thought that it was probably that little kid who made his move. However, was that little kid really that powerful? Or was the injury just a coincidence?


    "Cut the crap. Have you seen anything stupid recently?"


    "Hahahahahahahaha!"


    A string of unbridled laughter rang out in response to Bai Qiuhu''s question. Seeing that the man didn''t know what was good for him, he immediately activated his spirit energy and muttered some incantations. Unbeknownst to what he did, he suddenly activated the sealing formation.


    That person gritted his teeth and said, "You old thief, you talk too much. Other than you coming here for the past few decades, where have you gotten other people? Even if there was, I would have eaten it in one gulp. "


    After carefully thinking about what Tao Wu had said, Bai Qiuhu did not discover any flaws. He then observed the stone room again, revealing the same vestiges of destruction as usual.


    When Tao Wu saw that the white Qiu Hu was so cautious, a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes and he no longer spoke.


    On the night that the White Garment Tiger left, Jun Qianyan and Di Mo Jiu came to the underground chamber together.


    "Kid, did you bring something?" When Tao Wu saw Jun Qiyan, his attitude had changed 180 degrees from that of the white fur tiger he saw in broad daylight.


    However, Jun Qiyan was not one to back down. If it wasn''t for Di Mo Jiu''s attack last time, he would have been severely injured at the very least. He had to seize this opportunity, "We haven''t settled the score about your sneak attack on me last time."


    "The little child''s words are too unpleasant to listen to. What sneak attack? You said to leave just like that, but if I don''t leave any traces, you won''t be able to return to your original body. That would be a huge loss, right?"


    Jun Qiyan lit up the small porcelain bottle in her hand. "The blood is here. I can save you, but I have a request."


    "Tell me about it."


    "When I release you, you must give me a drop of your blood."


    "What do you want this sovereign''s blood for?" It was an ancient beast, and its blood was naturally extraordinary.


    "You ate the Black Scale Bile that I was looking for, and you can''t give me some compensation? If you don''t agree, then forget it and stay in this secret room by yourself. " Seeing that Zhu Wu did not want to agree, Jun Qiyan pulled Di Mo Jiu along and was about to leave.


    "Wait, it''s just a drop of blood. I''ll give it to you." A drop of blood is nothing compared to freedom.


    "Then let''s sign a contract first."


    "Sign a contract?"


    "That''s right, what if you are released and don''t recognize anyone and want to eat me? You''ve seen quite a few things like going back on your word. "


    "Kid, aren''t you a little too shrewd ¡­"


    "Don''t worry, it''s just a peace contract that doesn''t harm you. It won''t harm you in any way."


    "Who is this person beside you?" Tao Wu suddenly asked about Di Moyan, who was standing beside Jun Qiyan, not saying a word. He had noticed this person long ago. He was tall and straight, and when he had examined Jun Qiyan''s body earlier, he had discovered a hint of dragon breath.


    "His name is Di Mo Jiu, he''s my friend."


    Tao Wu pondered over the memories in his head, but there was no information about Di Mo Jiu at all.


    "Are you going to sign it or not?"


    "I''ll sign it, I''ll sign it." If this small condition was to exchange for his freedom, then the debt of ''Taowu'' could be considered to be very clear.


    "What''s your name?"


    "Tao Wu." Tao Wu answered unwillingly.


    She stood in the middle of the array formation and said, "My name is Jun Qiyan. Today, I have signed this contract with Tao Wu to save him, and I shall not be harmed. If I go against this agreement, the punishment of the heavens will fall upon me."


    Tao Wu followed Jun Qiyan and read the contract once more. After the agreement was signed, a treaty had appeared between the man and the beast.


    It was only then that Di Mo Jiu nodded in relief towards Jun Qianyan, who walked over to the stone door and placed a drop of the tiger''s blood into the sealed part of the stone door. Instantly, the stone room began to shake with a loud sound.


    When the blood entered the seal, Bai Qiuhu, who was adjusting his breathing and cultivating, spat out a mouthful of blood. He stared blankly at the blood on the ground, his gaze locking onto his hand that was still wrapped in gauze.


    He did not have time to circulate his energy to calm the abnormality in his meridians, so he quickly got up and rushed to the ancestral hall.


    Something must not happen to Tao Wu. It was all thanks to him capturing Tao Wu that his Sword Spirit Sect had been able to achieve what they had done today.

 C270

    Inside the stone room, there was an earth-shattering change.


    Di Mo Jiu flew up to the top of the stone chamber while hugging Jun Qianyan. Looking down from the top, he was even more shocked because he didn''t expect that there was actually such a huge space underneath the stone chamber. She first saw a pair of sharp claws, and then as the stone gradually slowed down, Jun Feiyan finally saw the entire room.


    Its entire body was extremely large, step by step, and its sharp claws stepped on the stone tiles. It seemed as if it didn''t use much strength, but a crack had been forced through the stone tiles. It stretched out its neck and turned it around, "After so many years, benzun has finally come out."


    Tao Wu sniffed the air and locked his gaze onto Jun Yunxiao and Di Moyu. With a malicious smile, he said, "Coincidentally, this sovereign has been trapped for a long time and hasn''t eaten my fill. Today ¡­"


    "Tao Wu, we signed a contract." Jun Qiyan threatened as he saw the malicious intent in Tao Wu''s words.


    "I signed it with you, but not with the man beside you." After speaking, Tao Wu prepared to launch his attack on Di Mo Jiu.


    Di Mo Jiu didn''t dodge at all, and continued attacking him with his fangs bared.


    Jun Qiyan thought to himself: To think that they were listening to Di Mo Jiu''s preparation for the future.


    She took out a pill from her bosom and threw it into the open mouth of the Taowu. The progress of the Taowu pill paused for a moment. Although she didn''t feel anything was amiss, she still had her doubts. "What did you give this sovereign to eat?"


    "Good stuff." Jun Qiyan smiled at Zhu Wu, but that smile did not wait for his careful consideration.


    Just as he finished speaking, Tao Wu suddenly felt an excruciating pain in his stomach. This was a pain he had never experienced before. His massive body rolled around in the stone room, causing pieces of stone to fly everywhere.


    The loud sound from the stone room had already attracted countless disciples of the Sword Spirit Sect. They surrounded the ancestral hall, but they did not dare to rashly enter.


    As soon as Bai Qiu Hu arrived, his disciple wanted to report the abnormality of the ancestral hall to him. However, he didn''t have the time to listen at all, so he quickly dismissed his disciple and quickly walked toward the ancestral hall.


    A glint flashed in Meng Huairen''s eyes as he followed him in.


    The surrounding disciples didn''t have any doubts when they saw the Great Elder follow the Sovereign into the ancestral hall. The Great Elder was the Great Elder''s right-hand man, so it wasn''t really inappropriate for him to follow the Sovereign in to investigate.


    At this moment, Bai Qiu Hu was not in the mood to pay attention to whether someone was following him. When he arrived at the pavilion, he saw that the exit had already collapsed. He became extremely anxious and within a few breaths of time, he arrived at the place where Tao Wu was locked up.


    When he arrived at the entrance, he saw that the seal had been broken and his eyes were wide open. He rushed inside and immediately saw the rolling and tumbling Tao Wu, as well as Jun Feiyan and Di Mo Jiu, who were standing by the side. This old man isn''t looking for you, but you actually sent yourself to your death! "


    When enemies meet, their eyes will turn red.


    Needless to say more, the White Knot Tiger had already gathered spirit energy in its hands and turned it into a sword, thrusting towards Jun Qianyan with killing intent. Jun Qianyan was not afraid, and used spirit energy to dissolve the moves of the White Knot Tiger one by one.


    The two of them fought in such an intense battle that Tao Wu wasn''t much better off. He rolled on the ground with a bellyful and knocked over countless pillars.


    Di Mo Jiu didn''t have the time to care about how uncomfortable it was for Zhu Wu, his eyes were fixated on Jun Qianyan who was fighting against Bai Qiuhu. It was obvious that he had very little combat experience, not even comparable to the decades of experience of Bai Qiuhu.


    Di Moyu''s eyes flashed as he saw the hidden sword of the Bai Qiu Hu behind him. He rushed forward and interrupted the Bai Qiu Hu''s attack, but he was unable to catch up to the speed of the sword of the Bai Qiu Hu. Jun Qianyan''s arm was cut, and her body was slightly exhausted.


    "But a little girl who''s still wet behind the ears wants to exchange blows with me!"


    "Little kids, don''t be in such a hurry to hit me. This sovereign is about to run out of pain. Don''t worry about this sovereign''s side first." As a ''glutton'', the most important thing about it was that it had a mouthful of teeth and its stomach that could hold all things. Right now, its teeth were fine, but its stomach was aching so much that it wanted to crush them.


    When the white Qiu Hu noticed that the state of the Taowu was in, he wanted to seize the opportunity to seal it again. "You evil creature, after eating my sect''s secret treasure, you still want to flee?"


    At this moment, Jun Qianyan was in the midst of recuperating from her injuries. She probably didn''t have the time to bother with Tao Wu''s side, as only Di Mo Jiu remained ¡­


    While forming a hand sign with his hand, he was also paying attention to Di Mo Jiu''s side.


    When the Taowu saw the white fur seal, it naturally saw through what he wanted to do. However, it hated the fact that the white fur was so bloated that it couldn''t even stand up, let alone eat this old thief. It had gone through so much trouble to come out, so it couldn''t be sealed again.


    It looked towards Jun Qianyan, dropped its face, and begged for help. "Little kid, save me. It was this sovereign''s fault just now. This sovereign promises not to offend it again. Hurry up and stop this pain!"


    Jun Qiyan could also see what Bai Qiu Hu wanted to do. Compared to Bai Qiu Hu, she would never let him do anything. She said in a low voice, "Open your mouth."


    Jun Qiyan opened his mouth and threw another pill in. Di Mo Jiu placed his fingers on her meridians and said, "Don''t speak now. I''ll help you cross the air."


    Jun Qiyan''s arm was injured by the sword qi, and even if she took the pill, it would take a while for her arm to recover, not to mention, she was fighting with Bai Qiaohu and her spirit energy was running out. She did not know that Bai Qiaohu''s power was so strong, but she had underestimated him ¡­


    This time, its eyes were filled with that old thief who tried to seal it again, and it was afraid of comparing everything. If it wasn''t for the appearance of that white Qiu Hu, then it was possible that Zhu Wu would hate Jun Qiyan, who fed it such a poison, to the bone. However, in this life or death situation, she was still willing to save him.


    "Kid, heal yourself first. This sovereign will help you deal with this old bastard!"


    "You, a beast, dare to spout such arrogant words!"


    "Bastard?!" One could not tolerate it if they were already familiar with it. For an ancient beast like Tao Wu, it was always feared by others. Who would dare to speak to it like that? It immediately brandished its sharp claws and charged towards the white furred tiger.


    Although it had just fought with Jun Qiyan and had lost some of its physical strength, it was still no match for him when it faced off against him.

 C271

    The main reason was that the space within the stone room was too small, while the Taowu''s size was enormous and it was impossible for him to use his strength. On top of that, even though the seal was broken, its power was still there.


    "I didn''t think that you, old thief, would have learned the ancient sword technique ¡­" For a moment, there were only a few ancient items that had been passed down to this day. Whether or not one could come across such an opportunity all depended on luck, and Zhu Wu did not believe that a black-hearted person like this would have some sort of opportunity.


    "The ancient sword technique is meant to deal with a beast like you. If you obediently surrender now, you''ll be able to suffer a little less, or else, this old man will tell you to beg the heavens for mercy!"


    No wonder he looked so confident, he had learnt the Ancient Sword Technique.


    Legend has it that the sword art of ancient times was created by the Sword Saint Chi Yun in order to resist the beasts and beasts of the ancient times. The master of the sword can turn Qi into sword, and the master of the sword can use only a tiny bit of it to repel countless ferocious beasts.


    Meng Huairen was hiding in a corner, watching the confrontation between the few people and the beast. Thankfully, he did not rashly take action against Bai Qiu Hu. He had even concealed his martial arts from him. This cultivation technique of his must have been given to him by his superiors.


    "Humph, so what if you''re using the ancient sword techniques. Not to mention being able to cultivate to the tenth level, even you, an old thief, are not afraid. Seeing your moves, you are only at the second or third level, and your control over your sword is sluggish, don''t tell me you''re going to have Qigong deviation. Hahahaha ¡­"


    It was true that his ancient sword art was at the third level. Just as he was concentrating on breaking through the fourth level, the sound of the seal forcefully interrupted his progress. A mouthful of blood was still stuck in his chest.


    "Even if this old man is only at the third level, it''s more than enough to deal with an animal that hasn''t appeared in a long time." As he spoke, he attacked again.


    From the looks of it, this man was planning to fight to the death with Zhu Wu.


    When he saw that the white Qiu Hu was about to attack him with a fierce move, he could not help but become serious. Like what the white Qiu Hu said, it had not been in existence for a long time, and with the help of the little child''s medicinal pill, he was unable to use any of his power.


    After exchanging a few blows, the White Garment Tiger shot out another hidden weapon ¡­


    Meng Huairen watched the situation change as he considered the best opportunity for him to appear. He had initially wanted to take advantage of the battle between Bai Qiuhu and Jun Qianyan as a fisherman to reap fame and fortune.


    Now that he had exchanged blows with Tao Wu, most of the disciples had seen what happened when he followed the white Qiu Hu in. If the white Qiu Hu were to ask further, he would definitely be suspicious of him, and this was not the result that he wanted.


    After being hit by the hidden weapon of the white fur tiger, Wu Zhu''s figure appeared sluggish. Di Mo Jiu was currently healing Jun Qiyan. Meng Huairen was quick to come up with the best result for himself.


    At this moment, as he saw the claw of the Taowu flying towards the tiger, his eyes lit up. This was the moment!


    "Leader, be careful!" Meng Huairen shouted as he blocked in front of the tiger and suffered the claw. Thankfully, the claw was strong on the outside but weak on the inside. Although it hurt, most of the attacks were blocked by the spiritual energy.


    Meng Huairen fell heavily to the ground ¡­


    Jun Qiyan had seen this scene. She immediately recognized that it was the Great Elder Meng Huairen from the portrait. From the portrait, she could tell that he was very similar to Jun Yanran. Now that she had met him, she could tell that he was very similar to her.


    Seeing a white fur dog come out of nowhere, Jun Qiyan''s voice sounded out in his mind. "Retreat first. This is the territory of the Sword Spirit Sect. It won''t be too late for a gentleman to take revenge."


    From the fact that Tao Wu had put down his face to beg Jun Qiyan for help just now, it was obvious that it was a sensible person. This time, it knew that this was not the best time to fight against the White Garuda.


    After the dust had settled, Bai Qiuhu looked at the empty ground in front of him with a flustered and exasperated expression. He immediately issued a sect order to chase down Jun Qianyan and Di Mo Jiu from all corners of the earth.


    Tao Wu brought Jun Qiyan and Di Mo Jiu to a cave. "Little kid, I was wondering how you could be beaten like this by that old rogue."


    "Aren''t you an ancient vicious beast? Have you taken advantage of me?" Jun Qiyan cast a sidelong glance at it.


    As he said this, Tao Wu felt a bit embarrassed. However, after the fight just now, it was said that they didn''t know each other without fighting each other. He had a good impression of Jun Qiyan.


    "Is this man your lover?" Taowu sized Di Mo Jiu up from head to toe. From beginning to end, he felt that Di Mo Jiu had a very familiar aura on his body.


    When Jun Feiyan heard this undisguised question, she could only think of the scene when Di Mo Jiu forcefully kissed her in the bamboo forest that day. Even though she was usually careless, she still blushed slightly at this moment, "Do you want to have a stomachache again?"


    It, too, had eaten dragons before! However, it had never had stomach problems before. Once was enough for it to remember for the rest of its life.


    Jun Qiyan raised an eyebrow, then added, "Yeah, you''re a bachelor dog, so you won''t be able to understand."


    Di Mo Jiu, who was at the side, heard Jun Qianyan''s affirmation and looked at her with a profound look.


    Jun Qiyan didn''t dare to look towards Di Mo Jiu''s direction, but the burning gaze that came from there seemed to be able to roast her whole body. She pretended to move her body, walking towards the cave entrance and looking around.


    "Tao Wu, what kind of place is this?"


    "A cave, hmph!" For an ancient beast like this to be bullied to such an extent by that old thief, when my powers recover, I''ll definitely go and take care of that old thief''s dog den! "


    Di Mo Jiu remembered something and asked Tao Wu: "You mentioned that the White Tiger knows the Ancient Sword Techniques? "Perhaps?"


    "I can''t be wrong. In the past, I''ve also fought against that fellow Crimsoncloud. That old scoundrel''s every move is imbued with Crimsoncloud''s sword-art, but luckily, I haven''t reached home yet."


    "He''s only been in the Sword Spirit Sect for a few years. How could he have an ancient formation?" Di Mo Jiu and Jun Qiyan fell into deep thought at the same time.


    Tao Wu suddenly smelled Jun Qiyan''s scent, "Why do you have the scent of Baji on you?

 C272

    Di Mo Jiu stretched out a hand to pull him away from Jun Qianyan, but he didn''t pay much attention to the meeting. He was more concerned with another matter, "Why do you have the scent of Baji?"


    The first time this little kid saw him, she smelled like Baji. At that time, he thought it was just a coincidence, but after seeing her for a few times, the smell became even stronger, as if it was around him. However, he checked his surroundings and found no trace of Baji.


    The Octadic Snake heard Zhu Wu''s voice from within the Nuwa Stone, and didn''t dare to stay any longer. It immediately walked out of the Nuwa Stone.


    Seeing that the Octadic Snake had suddenly appeared, Tao Wu flew into a rage. "You cowardly scum. Just now, when I was risking my life for this child, you were actually hiding behind a child!"


    Even when he was angry, he didn''t forget to praise himself. This Tao Wu was also a smart person.


    "Lord Taowu, please calm your anger. Eight Qi was also suppressed by your aura and did not dare to come out. However, she is definitely not a person who fears death."


    "You two know each other?" As Jun Qiyan listened to the conversation between the two beasts, he realized that they seemed to have a bit of a relationship.


    At that time, Lord Taowu and the other three great elders, Chaos, Qiong Qi and Taowu, managed the Magical Beast clan together. After Chi Yun cultivated the ancient sword technique that specialized in magical beasts, I, who was still young at that time, sought protection under the hands of the other great masters.


    When Zhu Wu saw that this Eight Qi had sensibly introduced his outstanding achievements back then, he flattered her in a rather complacent manner. The little bit of anger he had just lost was long gone.


    "Whatever. That''s true. As a member of the younger generation, it would be understandable for them to be a bit cowardly." Having been flattered like this, naturally, Tao Wu wouldn''t argue with Baji any further. He carefully examined the Baji Snake''s body once, "However, how did you sign the contract with this little kid?"


    "That''s a long story ¡­" He did not have the leisure to do so. "Forget it, this noble one is also not willing to listen to the twists and turns of those songs. Right now, this noble one''s first priority is to eat that old bastard. You guys can stay here and heal your wounds. This noble one needs to find something to eat."


    Just as Tao Wu was about to leave, Jun Qianyan reached out a hand to stop him. "Tao Wu, have you forgotten something?"


    Upon hearing Jun Qianyan''s question, Tao Wu knew that Jun Qianyan was still focusing on him, but pretended not to know on the surface. "What did I forget?"


    "Baji, tell me, did your esteemed Taowu promise me something just now in the stone room?"


    When the Octadic Snake who was originally acting as the background heard that Jun Qianyan had shifted the spearhead to him, even though Lord Taowu had always had more protection, after all, he was now the master of his clan, so he smiled coyly and said, "It seems that Lord Taowu promised to give Master a drop of blood."


    "Nonsense, with this noble body, let alone a drop of blood, even you, a mere mortal, cannot withstand a single hair!" Tao Wu had always been a famous iron rooster since ancient times. He was greedy for blood, so he couldn''t enter. Just now, he had wanted to escape from the stone chamber, which was why he had consented to Jun Qianyan''s request. Now that he had gotten rid of his predicament, he naturally didn''t remember what he had promised to do.


    Jun Qiyan was not surprised. Before Di Mo Jiu had come with her, he had already said that Taowu was greedy for blood and was crafty enough to argue. She had long prepared for this.


    "Zhu Wu, it seems that you want to experience that pain again?" Jun Qiyan wore a smile on her face. However, from that smile, Tao Wu was able to tell that there was malice hidden within it.


    Just thinking about it, he felt a faint pain in his stomach. However, "What a joke, little doll, do you know that this sovereign''s stomach can dissolve everything, your pill just now has already turned into water in this sovereign''s stomach, do not use that to scare this sovereign ¡­" The voice behind the temple suddenly rose in pitch, causing the immortal to feel pain again. It was curling its body and rolling around non-stop, "Little doll, little doll, this sovereign was wrong.


    It was recorded in the ancient books that the stomach of a Taowu was capable of dissolving all living things. Therefore, the medicinal pills Jun Qiyan refined were naturally specially made for the Taowu. Even if a pill that was difficult to digest had to be dissolved in its stomach, it would take at least three to five months.


    She threw another pill into Zhu Wu''s mouth. It took a long time for him to recover his strength. He curled his body and slowly transformed into the form of a beast. A robust and naked man appeared on the ground.


    Di Mo Jiu immediately covered Jun Qiyan''s eyes with his hands, "Wear your clothes."


    His voice was abnormally cold. If one were to listen carefully, they would be able to hear the irrepressible anger within his voice.


    "Hey, hey, hey. This senior hasn''t changed form in such a long time and is a bit unfamiliar with it. However, why are you so nervous? This senior doesn''t feel like he''s being taken advantage of." Tao Wu was very dissatisfied with Di Mo Jiu''s disdainful attitude.


    However, he did as he was told and pulled out a set of clothes to wear.


    Her eyelashes fluttered in the palm of Di Mo Jiu. Di Mo Jiu felt an itch in the palm of his hand, and he lowered his eyes to look at Jun Mo Xie, who was standing in front of him; the tenderness in his eyes was boundless.


    When Tao Wu saw this scene from the corner of his eyes, he curled his lips. You''re still saying that it''s not a lover or brother? It''s just that this mortal doesn''t mean what he says.


    It was only after seeing that Tao Wu had put on his clothes that Di Mo Jiu finally lowered his hand from Jun Qianyan''s eyes, allowing her to clearly see his human form. She didn''t expect that the beast form that took the shape of a human was actually a Taowu, with strong four limbs and rough features. Jun Feiyan tilted his head as he looked around the body of Zhu Wu, but he didn''t expect the human form to look like this.


    After being sized up by Jun Qiyan, Tao Wu felt somewhat uneasy. He crossed his hands behind his back and pretended to be calm as he said, "This kind of human form is nothing more than a piece of meat to begin with. Little child, please stop looking at it."


    With that, he stretched out his palm, and with a swipe of his fingernail, blood began to seep out of the wound. The blood left the wound and automatically condensed into a single drop in the air, and then floated in front of Jun Qianyan, who placed the drop in front of him and said, "Here, take this."


    Jun Qiyan placed the drop of blood into a porcelain bottle that he carried with him.


    He felt as if a huge stone had fallen into his heart.


    "What do you want this sovereign''s blood for?"


    "Pill refining. All of my older brother''s meridians have been cut off by the Sword Spirit Sect''s lackeys. The blood of an ancient God Beast has a miraculous effect on opening up the meridians." To Jun Qiyan, Tao Wu was someone who could befriend others. Thus, she did not mind praising him on the surface.


    It was evident that Tao Wu enjoyed this'' Ancient Divine Beast ''a lot.

 C273

    Immediately after, it took out an oddly shaped object from its bosom and gave it to Jun Qianyan, who immediately recognized it as the Southern Hill Steel Wood from the ancient books. The Southern Hill Steel Wood was a wood that was similar to iron, and was a type of material that could only be found by luck and not found.


    "This is what benzun found by the side of the Black Scaled Pill. benzun does not have any hobbies for wood, and this thing is of no use to benzun. Since you want to refine the pill, I''ll give it to you."


    "If that''s the case, then I won''t be polite." Jun Qiyan took the iron log. It was only the size of a baby''s fist, but it felt like several hundred pounds of iron to her hands. "The dogs of the Sword Spirit Sect are probably going to vomit blood from anger."


    "However, the Sword Spirit Sect has only risen to prominence a few decades ago. Their development has only been in the last few years, so why do they have so many ancient items?"


    The secret treasure of the sect, the Darkscale Bold, was unexpectedly the Southern Hill Steel Wood. That fellow, Bai Qiuhu, had learnt an ancient sword art, so these things shouldn''t be good opportunities for the Sword Spirit Sect. Could it be that there were experts guarding the Sword Spirit Sect?


    After recovering their spiritual power, Jun Qiyan and Di Mo Jiu returned to the Jun residence. For the time being, there was nowhere for Tao Wu to go, so he followed Jun Qiyan back to the Jun residence.


    First of all, he had the blood of the Taowu and the Fusu Root, as well as the Southern Hill Steel Wood. He had more or less gathered all of the ingredients needed to concoct the Bone Connecting Pill, and the remaining ingredients could be used as substitutes.


    She prepared enough Spiritual Replenishment Pills for herself and then stayed in her room by herself to start refining the pills.


    This refinement lasted for a full half a month. During this time, the Sword Spirit Sect came to cause trouble twice, but they were both stopped by Zhu Wu and Di Mo Jiu.


    While Jun Qiyan was concocting the pill, the several people of Beijing and Bai Bai came to the Jun residence one after another. When they found out that the Jun residence had been exterminated, they clamored to help Jun Qianyan find justice and exterminate the Sword Spirit Sect.


    However, they decided to wait for Jun Qiyan to finish refining the pill, and then discuss the matter in detail.


    When the first glimmer of dawn broke, the door of Jun Qiyan''s room, which had been tightly shut for half a month, opened. The first thing she did when she went out was to find Jun Mo Chen.


    Under everyone''s anticipating gaze, Jun Mo Chen swallowed the pill. As soon as the pill entered his stomach, he felt his whole body heating up and the pain from his meridians being torn off once again filled his body. He gritted his teeth, not making a single sound.


    "Brother, you have to endure it. Your meridians have to be reconnected. The pain is inevitable. You can''t let it all go to waste." When Jun Qiyan saw Jun Mo Chen''s flushed face, and the beads of sweat dripping down his forehead, she knew that his body was being tormented at the moment. Although she could not bear it, it was necessary for his meridians to be reconnected.


    "Dye, don''t worry. I can endure it." Although his body was in pain, Jun Mo Chen was still overjoyed. In the one month that his meridians had been severed, he hadn''t been able to feel any pain at all; he couldn''t gather his spirit energy, and it was difficult for his limbs to move around like a cripple. But it was different now; he could clearly feel his meridians connecting, and the spirit energy was circulating in his body again.


    This feeling made him excited, and his heart was ignited with hope again.


    The pain lasted for two hours, and by the time it was over, Jun Mo Chen''s clothes were already soaked in sweat.


    Jun Mo Chen lifted his sleeve with much effort, and could clearly see the severed meridians on his wrist beginning to connect. He smirked, "My hand... Thank you, Dye. "


    Brother, we are a family, so there is no need to be so polite. It''s just that treating the damage to your meridians is not the result of a single day''s effort, and now it can only be improved by 30%. Seven days later, take another pill and you should be able to recover 50% to 60%. Jun Qiyan''s voice was somewhat downcast.


    She suddenly felt her head sink and looked up to see it was Jun Mo Chen''s hand, "That''s enough, Dye. Look, I can reach out and touch you now, and then I''ll be able to stand up again, and I''ll still be able to train. That''s enough."


    Jun Qiyan looked at the smiling Jun Mo Chen and thought about how proud he was of himself in the past. Anyone who saw him would have praised him as a proud son of heaven. But now, her nose started to sniff as she said, "Brother, I''m sorry. It''s all my fault. It''s all my fault ¡­"


    "Silly Dye, why would I blame you? You''ve done well enough." Jun Mo Chen''s hand brushed away the tears at the corners of Jun Qiyan''s eyes. "How old are you? Why are you still crying? Aren''t you ashamed?"


    "Brother, don''t worry. I''ll definitely become the disciple of the Words Grandmaster, and then I''ll take you on as my apprentice. I''ll definitely treat your injuries and make you even more powerful than usual."


    "Alright, big brother will be waiting for you." Jun Mo Chen''s words were filled with trust towards Jun Qiyan.


    When they came out of Jun Mo Chen''s room, the three of them had the intention of instructing Jun Qianyan. Feng Chen Lang first suggested to Jun Qianyan that they attack the Sword Spirit Sect together and teach them a lesson.


    This suggestion had won the agreement of both Gu Yao and Ji Bai, but Ye Changsheng was especially worried.


    However, Jun Qianyan had already had the same intentions as Di Mo. Di Mo Jiu didn''t have any objections to this proposal, since Di Mo Jiu''s men had to be mentally prepared to offend the Divine Arts Pavilion.


    On the same night, they had slaughtered their way into the Sword Spirit Sect. The Sword Spirit Sect had never expected that Jun Qianyan would dare to return, not to mention that the Sect Master and the Great Elder had gone out in the afternoon, leaving only Liu Man''er, the protector of the sect.


    On that night, explosions rang out repeatedly in the Sword Spirit Sect and almost all of them were flattened. The disciples of the Sword Spirit Sect were either killed or injured, but Jun Qiyan could not find a single trace of Bai Qiu Hu and Meng Huairen within the explosions of the Sword Spirit Sect.


    Coincidentally, the day before that, the White Tiger had gone with Meng Huairen to meet the people sent down. When they returned to the sect the next day, they saw that the sect had suffered the disaster of extermination overnight.


    "Jun Qiyan! This old man will be irreconcilable with you! " Bai Qiuhu swore a blood oath that he would tear Jun Qiyan into ten thousand pieces!

 C274

    Meng Huairen rejoiced in his heart. Thankfully, the mother and daughter pair had moved to their lodgings. Otherwise, if the two of them had fallen into the hands of that demoness, Jun Qianyan, they would not have a good ending.


    Behind the duo was a man dressed in a black cloak that completely concealed his figure. The man was wearing a mask so it was impossible to discern his appearance, but Meng Huairen knew how powerful he was. It was just like now, even though he knew that he was standing beside him, he did not make a sound.


    "Why are you so angry, Sect Head Bai? With your abilities, starting a new life will not be a problem." The man wearing the mask spoke up. His voice was hoarse and unpleasant to the ears. It was a deliberate change of voice. "Master doesn''t raise useless people."


    The last sentence was undoubtedly threatening Bai Qiu Hu, and Bai Qiu Hu was able to hear it, and he also knew what would happen to the "useless people". He broke out in a cold sweat, cupped his fists, and bowed as he pledged, "Envoy can be rest assured that Bai Qiu Hu will not disappoint Master, and will definitely revive the sect and bring down that demoness!"


    "Master is already extremely unhappy about the theft of the Blackscale Vile and the Steel Wood from Nanshan. To think that Tao Wu was actually running away from your hands ¡­"


    Beads of sweat dripped from Bai Qiuhu''s forehead


    He repeatedly promised, "Envoy, please be at ease. I, Bai, will definitely not make any more mistakes!"


    "I''m waiting for your good news." With that, that person immediately disappeared in front of the two of them.


    Since he had agreed to the envoy''s request, he had no time to lose. The matter of finding Jun Qianyan for revenge had to be settled slowly. Right now, the most important thing for Bai Linghu was to revitalize the sect so that his master could see his use.


    He instructed Meng Huairen to gather the scattered disciples immediately and place a high bounty to recruit new disciples.


    Not mentioning the White Qiu Hu who was extremely busy, it was extremely anxious.


    Jun Qiyan, Ji Bai, and a few others were celebrating loudly in a restaurant.


    "Hahaha, this is great!" When he thought of the way the Sword Spirit Sect''s dogs were fleeing in all directions, he felt extremely vexed.


    Feng Chenlang and Gu Yao also had the same expression. "A cult like the Sword Spirit Sect should have been wiped out a long time ago. Unfortunately, we can''t find any trace of the White Qiu Hu and Meng Huairen."


    On the other hand, Ye Changsheng was extremely quiet. Listening to their conversation, his eyes held a faint smile.


    "Oh, that''s right. Qiyan, aren''t you going to introduce us to what sort of person this big brother is?" Feng Chenlang, who was already slightly drunk, put his arm around Zhu Wu''s shoulder and the two brothers smiled at him.


    Tao Wu''s gaze landed on Feng Chen Lang''s white fingers. He seemed to be very tasty.


    "You might be scared to death." Naturally, Jun Qianyan also noticed the expression in Tao Wu''s eyes as he threatened Feng Chenlang with ill intentions.


    "Ai, how is this possible? I have seen people who even have the experience of meeting Qilin and Bai Ze. What kind of people do I not know? How could I be so easily scared?"


    "Kirin? Bai Ze? Are they here too? " Zhu Wu asked Jun Qiyan.


    "Yes, they have been guarding White City the entire time."


    "Hmph, those few old-fashioned people." Zhu Wu snorted disdainfully.


    "Eh? Brother, you know Qilin and Bai Ze? Are you also an ancient mythical beast? Let me guess what you are. No no no, White Tiger? " Feng Chen Lang pointed to the sky and began to make wild guesses.


    Tao Wu moved closer to Feng Chen Lang, and his mouth opened in a very strange manner. It was as though he could swallow Feng Chen Lang whole. "This body is Tao Wu."


    Feng Chenlang''s drunkenness was immediately scared half away by the bloody mouth. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and then silently removed his hand from Zhu Wu''s shoulder. Afterwards, he silently moved away, and looked at Jun Qianyan with an extremely wronged expression.


    When Tao Wu saw Feng Chenlang''s cowardly appearance, he sneered and returned to his normal expression.


    At the side, Beijing''s Ji Bai and Gu Yao were looking at the Taowu in bewilderment. They had heard of the name Taowu from their elders that one of the ancient beasts, the one who ate all living things, would actually appear here.


    Seeing that the atmosphere wasn''t as relaxed as before, Jun Qianyan explained, "Relax, don''t worry. He won''t eat any of you right now. I''ll make some medicinal pills for him to eat."


    When he heard that Jun Yunrue was busy concocting Bone Connecting Pills for Jun Mo Chen in his room, he was so bored that he started to wander around the Jun residence, trying to find the right medicine box to concoct the pills. He was so bored that he started to eat all of the pills Jun residence''s contents, just like a peanut.


    At that time, Di Mo Jiu''s heart was completely filled with the desire to concoct pills for Jun Qiyan. As long as Tao Wu wasn''t eating in the Jun residence, then he wouldn''t care. Who would''ve thought that he would eat all of the pills refined by Jun Qiyan.


    After Jun Qiyan came out of seclusion and received the news, he almost vomited a mouthful of blood in anger. Fortunately, this Taowu guy was also sensible and was willing to use a drop of his own blood in exchange.


    Later on, Tao Wu felt that it was worth it. Those medicinal pellets were actually able to give him a feeling of satiety. It was merely a drop of blood, and in exchange for a full meal, how could it be worth it?


    Right now, his biggest hobby was to eat the various pills refined by Jun Qiyan.


    Although Tao Wu had eaten, he would still take the initiative to take out things to exchange with her. Those Pills of Fasting and Spirit Replenishing Pills were not too troublesome to refine, and he would occasionally add a few of the higher grade pills to the meal.


    However, after eating too many of the pills refined by Jun Qiyan, Zhu Wu gradually developed a habit of being picky. Occasionally, he would go out on the streets to look for some pills, but none of them could compare to the pills refined by Jun Qiyan.


    Jun Qiyan''s pill not only had a variety of flavors, but it also gave him a sense of fullness. After continuously eating it for over ten days, he was keenly aware of the fact that his beast power had increased.


    It had to be known that this ancient beast had already lived for thousands of years. Without any special lucky chance, its power would never increase again.


    In order to verify his guess, Tao Wu had exchanged his blood with Jun Qianyan for over ten days worth of elixirs. A single person ¡­ Oh no, one of the beasts sneakily ran to the back of the mountain and ate it all in one go. After refining the pill in its stomach, it then let out a beast cry, which transmitted for a thousand miles without end.


    Sure enough, his strength had increased by a bit. Although it was only a tiny bit, Xiao Wu was still able to sense it. From then on, Jun Qiyan was a very popular person in his eyes.


    Di Moyu was the one who was a bit annoyed. Every time he went to find Jun Qianyan, Di Moyan would think of all sorts of ways to drive him away or pull that little kid away.


    This really made him angry!

 C275

    Furthermore, he didn''t know what he had said to the child Jun Qianyan. The child''s medicine was becoming more and more imprecise, and he couldn''t exchange his blood for medicinal pills every day, since he was, after all, an ancient beast king. If he exchanged his blood for medicinal pills every day, it would sound extremely unpleasant.


    Once injured, the wound would slowly heal.


    He wanted to find the little child to have a good talk with him. He had to get Di Mo Jiu, the one who was in the way, to the side.


    A dangerous light flashed in the eyes of Di Mo Jiu when he saw that Zhu Wu would occasionally glance at Jun Qianyan. ''Isn''t this beast a bit too much of an eyesore?''


    Tao Wu was completely oblivious to Di Mo Jiu''s gaze. He only felt a chill behind his back as he puzzledly thought to himself: Could it be that the longer I stay in this world, the harder it is for me to deal with these mortals?


    Before Zhu Wu could understand what was going on, Feng Chen Lang had already grabbed him and started drinking again.


    In the evening, the capital''s Ji Bai and the others were all drunk. Fortunately, Ye Changsheng had not drunk any wine, so he sent someone to escort them back. He tactfully did not disturb the solitude of Di Mo Jiu and Jun Qiyan.


    Di Mo Jiu and Jun Qiyan were walking in the Jun residence''s garden one after another.


    Jun Qiyan sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere. It reminded her of the scene in the bamboo forest a few days ago. Di Mo Jiu''s presence was just too strong. She turned around, wanting to tell Di Mo Jiu that there was no need to send him off.


    However, Di Mo Jiu didn''t expect that Jun Qiyan would suddenly stop and turn around. He took a step forward and stopped right in front of Jun Qianyan.


    Di Mo Jiu and Jun Qiyan suddenly got very close to each other, and when they moved another centimeter forward, Jun Qiyan felt as if her nose was about to touch Di Mo Jiu''s chest. "Wuwuwu, wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuu ¡­"


    She subconsciously wanted to take a step back, but Di Mo Jiu suddenly wrapped his arms around her waist. The night wind was blowing, and a few leaves were falling from the tree above.


    "You ¡­" Jun Qiyan wanted to ask Di Mo Jiu why he was hugging her waist.


    "You ¡­" Di Mo Jiu, on the other hand, wanted to know why Jun Qianyan had suddenly stopped in her tracks.


    The two of them spoke up at the same time.


    When she saw him speak, she closed her mouth at the same time.


    Wordless silence permeated the air between the two ¡­


    Jun Qianyan couldn''t stand the atmosphere any longer, "About that, Di Mo Jiu ¡­" "Good night!"


    Before Di Mo Jiu could say anything, she had already moved far away. That kind of speed, could even be described as fleeing in panic.


    As a woman, Jun Qianyan could feel Di Mo Jiu''s feelings towards her. However, right now, she couldn''t give Di Mo Jiu any response. She had yet to take revenge, and her father, grandfather, and Mo Chen''s injuries were also not fully healed.


    Presently, the most important task was to refine the Bone Ablutionary Dan Beads and go to the Flowing Cloud Cliff to seek a master of speech and learn from his master.


    While Jun Qiyan was in his room, he had already listed out the medicinal herbs for the Bone Ablutionary Dan Bead.


    However, Gu Yao met with some trouble.


    "What are you doing here?" Gu Yao stared at the person in front of him, his eyes filled with sharpness.


    If Meng Huairen was present, he would be able to recognize the person that had appeared in Gu Yao''s room. Wasn''t he the mysterious envoy that he and Bai Qiuhu had gone to fetch?


    "Seems like you don''t want to see me." The masked envoy''s voice was different from the strange one it had been during the day, but it still sounded dark and gloomy.


    "If there is nothing else, disappear from my sight." It was obvious that Gu Yao was extremely disgusted with the person in front of him. After he finished speaking, he turned around and no longer looked at the envoy.


    "Hehe, you don''t seem to be too happy to see me, but it doesn''t matter. I''ve only come here to remind you of your identity, don''t you think that your lord won''t be able to find you if you stay in the Eastern Xuan Continent?"


    Through the mask''s two black sockets, the emissary saw the change in Gu Yao''s expression. He mocked, "Gu Yao, Gu Yao, you''re really still as naive as ever."


    When Gu Yao realized that he was still in the Jun residence, he didn''t want to attract the attention of Jun Qiyan and the others.


    The black-robed messenger was also aware of this, and his smile became even more wanton. He took out a bamboo scroll from his sleeve and said, "This is what the Lord has instructed you to do."


    As soon as he finished speaking, his figure disappeared into thin air.


    Gu Yao stared unblinkingly at the bamboo scroll that the man had placed on the table. He wanted nothing more than to burn it.


    Before Gu Yao could take action, there was a knock on the door, "Who is it?" Gu Yao''s voice had an almost imperceptible tone of nervousness.


    "It''s me." Ye Changsheng''s voice came from outside the door. "I just heard some strange sounds in your room. Are you okay?"


    Ye Changsheng''s room was very close to Gu Yao''s. Moreover, because of his body, he did not drink at night, so as he was deep in thought, he heard a strange sound coming from Gu Yao''s room next door. Thinking of how Gu Yao seemed to have drank quite a bit today, worrying that something might have happened to him, he specially knocked on the door to ask.


    "It''s fine, I drank too much and accidentally knocked over the table." Gu Yao was worried that Ye Changsheng would come in, so he kept the bamboo block from the table in his arms and pretended to be calm as he replied.


    "Oh, since you are fine, then rest early." Ye Changsheng nodded. The sensitive him could tell that there was something wrong with Gu Yao''s tone, but he didn''t suspect anything. After confirming that Gu Yao was fine at the door, he left.


    He once again took out the bamboo scroll from his bosom. After hesitating for a moment, he finally opened the bamboo scroll. After he clearly saw the contents of the bamboo scroll, Gu Yao''s eyebrows knitted together. Just what were they planning?


    He raised a ball of fire from his palm and threw it into the bamboo block. The tongue of fire quickly climbed onto the bamboo block and devoured it.


    In the light of the fire, one could faintly make out the handwriting, which was written in it. It continued to stay by Jun Qianyan''s side.


    That night, Gu Yao didn''t sleep at all.


    His five senses had always been different from that of an ordinary person''s. His entire being had always been different from that of an ordinary person, and Jun Qianyan had faintly rejected him; in his eyes, he had accompanied her for a very long time. As he watched her slowly grow up, more and more of his eyes would unconsciously stay on her body.


    He always felt that Jun Qiyan had an inexplicable attraction for him, making him want to take her for himself.


    Having understood his own thoughts, the Demon God immediately came up with a plan.


    A few days later, Jun Qiyan received a gift from the Lord Demon God ¨C a medicinal ingredient for refining the Bone Ablutionary Dan.


    "That kid is really nice to you." It was unknown when Taowu had appeared from the other side of the table, but he had been rummaging through the medicinal herbs in his hands. He picked up a medicinal plant and sniffed it before throwing it into his mouth.

 C276

    "Stingy!" This was a phrase that Tao Wu had learned a few days ago. Now, he just so happened to use it on Jun Qiyan.


    "This is what you should eat." After Jun Qiyan grabbed the herb, she threw a bottle of pills at Tao Wu. Zhu Wu took it with one hand, opened the bottle and smelled it. He nodded his head in satisfaction as he chewed on it like a peanut.


    Jun Qiyan brought the Bone Connecting Pill and gave it to Jun Mo Chen. Jun Mo Chen''s recovery ability was much better than what she had imagined, and now that his spirit energy was circulating in his body, it would take some effort for him to become proficient in using spirit energy.


    Before she went into seclusion, she had gone to find Jun Xuanfeng and wanted to ask him about Jun Yanran. All along the way, she had been thinking about how to tell Jun Xuanfeng about this.


    However, just as they arrived at Jun Xuanfeng''s courtyard, Jun Qianyan heard him speaking as if to someone else.


    She stood behind the tree and peeked through the leaves to look at Jun Zhentian, who was standing opposite to Jun Xuanfeng. She was a little doubtful, "Grandfather and Father? What are they talking about? "


    Although Jun Qianyan didn''t know what the two were talking about, he subconsciously concealed his aura and moved closer to them, wanting to hear what they were saying.


    Had it been in the past, Jun Xuanfeng would have naturally been able to see through it. However, Jun Xuanfeng''s body was currently not as healthy as it was before, and for a moment, he did not notice the arrival of Jun Qiyan.


    After going through a lot of life and death situations, his eyes looked even more distant than usual. He looked at the white-haired Jun Zhentian, and spoke with a dejected tone, "Zhentian, I''ve had high hopes for you since I was young, was I wrong?"


    "Father, it''s my fault, I was blind and could not see. I misjudged Madam Shen and married her to enter the sect. It''s laughable that she ¡­ "It''s actually ¡­" When the people of the Sword Spirit Sect came to the Jun residence to start the massacre, he saw Meng Huairen in the middle of the crowd. At that time, he did not think much of it as he had even instructed his personal bodyguards to protect Lady Shen and Yanran.


    But in the end, he fell into a pool of blood as he watched Lady Shen and Jun Yanran leave with Meng Huairen without looking back. He had raised a child for more than ten years, but the wives he had married were not his.


    This was truly ridiculous, when did he, Jun Zhentian, ever fall to such a state?!


    Even though Jun Qianyan had saved him later on, his heart was still as dead as death, and he didn''t know how he had lived his life. Today, Jun Xuanfeng had summoned him to the courtyard to converse, which made him even more sorrowful.


    He, Jun Zhentian, was still in his prime, yet he already had a head full of white hair, and had undergone a vicissitudes of life similar to that of a hundred year old man.


    Jun Zhentian was left speechless as he looked at Jun Zhentian''s bedraggled face, "It''s laughable that not a single member of the Jun Family has ever been born with this blood!"


    "Caution!" Jun Xuanfeng frowned and interrupted Jun Zhentian when he heard this.


    Jun Zhentian''s words rang in Jun Qianyan''s ears, and a huge wave of emotion surged through Jun Qianyan''s heart. What had his father just said?!


    She confirmed that she hadn''t misheard anything. Jun Zhentian had just said that no one in the Jun Family possessed the blood of blood.


    How is this possible!?


    Jun Yanran was Meng Huairen''s child, while Big Brother Mo Chen was picked up by his grandfather. What about her?


    Why couldn''t she be considered the blood of the Jun Family?


    Furthermore, when his father said this, his grandfather actually didn''t deny it!


    She almost couldn''t stand it any longer and went forward to question Jun Xuanfeng and Jun Zhentian. Jun Qiyan clenched his fists as he slowly retreated out of Jun Xuanfeng''s courtyard.


    If she didn''t have the blood of the Jun Family, then who was she? Who is Jun Qiyan?


    Jun Qiyan''s mind was in a mess. She had originally wanted to confirm the matter regarding Jun Yanran with her grandfather, but she hadn''t expected to hear such a secret.


    She wasn''t the biological child of Jun Zhentian ¡­


    When Jun Qiyan returned to his room, he locked the door tightly.


    She didn''t want to see anyone right now.


    The strange movements of the Nuwa Stone could be heard in the air as the sphere and the light-headed woman appeared from within the stone.


    The ball seemed to know that Jun Qiyan was in a bad mood at the moment. It flew to her side and silently consoled her.


    Qingyan was also very obedient and sensible as she hugged onto one of Jun Feiyan''s arms.


    A day later, someone knocked on Jun Qiyan''s door.


    "Qiyan, why are you in your room all day?" It was Di Mo Jiu''s voice.


    Jun Qianyan didn''t want others to see her frail side, so she replied, "I''m going into seclusion to refine the Bone Ablutionary Dan Beads in the next few days. I don''t want them to disturb me."


    The one who answered was none other than Di Mo Jiu, who pushed the door open with undisguised concern in his eyes. "What''s wrong with you?"


    When Di Mo Jiu was outside the door, he could hear that there was something wrong with Jun Qianyan''s tone. Even if she was intentionally hiding it from him, when she saw his expression, her flustered and helpless mood suddenly calmed down. She shook her head, "I''m fine."


    When Di Mo Jiu saw that Jun Qiyan was unwilling to say more, a trace of annoyance appeared in his heart. It was as if he was always separated from her by something. If he didn''t ask her, she wouldn''t say it, and if he did, she might not necessarily say it.


    He did not pursue the matter. "If there''s anything else, you must tell me."


    "Yes." Jun Qiyan nodded.


    At this moment, she was very grateful for Di Mo Jiu''s tolerance towards her, but she had yet to figure out the reason why there was no need to trouble others.


    Everyone in the mansion knew that Jun Qianyan had gone into closed-door training to refine the Bone Ablutionary Dan Bead. Beijing, Ji Bai, and Feng Chenlang had gone back to the Bai City first. Now that Lin Hu and his mercenary group were guarding the Bai City, the lower level magical beasts would normally not dare to act rashly.


    After seven to four days, the Jun residence was shrouded in a thundercloud. Everyone was surprised to see this thundercloud.


    This was the Pill Lightning that only a Grade 7 pill could produce.


    The fact that the Jun Family had been massacred by the Sword Spirit Sect, that Jun Xuanfeng and Jun Zhentian had been wounded, and that the heaven''s pride level expert Jun Mo Chen had broken his meridians and destroyed his dantian, meant that the Jun Family wasn''t worth paying attention to anymore.


    At most, he sighed twice.


    [But what the hell is going on today? What is the meaning of the Pill Lightning on the Jun residence?] [Does the Jun Family even have any alchemists?]


    Is he such a high-level apothecary?


    Whether it was rich or poor, everyone in the capital had a gossipy heart. Some people had heard that the Jun Family had Jun Qiyan, whose ability was outstanding, and she was even selected by President An Jiang to participate in the direct disciple selection.


    However, he later heard that the direct disciple selection was by someone else and not Jun Qiyan.


    How could she have the ability to refine a grade seven medicinal pill now?


    "Sigh!" "You don''t know about this, but the son of my aunt''s brother''s cousin also went to the Pill Refining Association to participate in the selection this year. I heard that this Jun Qiyan has been chosen by Master Words." A chubby, middle-aged woman grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the plate on the table and started to chat without a care for her life.


    Her words caused the surrounding people to exclaim in surprise ¡­


    "Words of a master?!"


    "How can Jun Qiyan, who is merely a woman, have such abilities?"


    "Yeah, but I heard that the Jun Family''s women look pretty good."


    It was unknown who said this, but regardless of whether it was intentional or not, it was all heard. Many people began to ponder in their hearts.

 C277

    It was unknown who said this, but regardless of whether it was intentional or not, it was all heard. Many people began to ponder in their hearts.


    At a corner of the teahouse, a woman wearing a curtain put down the teacup in her hands. She was about to leave when the sharp eyed waiter stopped her and said, "Miss, you haven''t paid yet."


    The waitress looked at the silver horn in her hand and shook her head. She thought it was the young miss of a rich family who had been sitting here all afternoon. Why was she so stingy? However, he didn''t think too much about it.


    "Yanran, why did you go out again?" Meng Huairen sat in the lobby as he looked at Jun Yanran, who had just returned from outside.


    When Jun Yanran heard this, she angrily flipped over her hat, "Why don''t you let me go out!? "When I was at the Jun residence, I left whenever I wanted. Now that I''m back here, I can''t even leave my house anymore?"


    "Yanran, how can you talk to your father like that!" At the side, Lady Shen heard her servant say that Yanran had returned and rushed to the main hall. When she heard Jun Yanran''s words, she hastily cut in.


    "Mother!" Look at what life has become for me! It would be better to stay at the Jun residence! " Jun Yanran was very dissatisfied with her current life. In the past, whenever she went out, she would be surrounded by people no matter where she went.


    A waiter of a teahouse actually dared to come close to her and speak to her. This was not the life she wanted!


    "Yanran, shut up!" When Madam Shen saw how Jun Yanran was getting more and more flustered, she cut her off with a glance at Meng Huairen''s expression.


    This was the first time that Jun Yanran had been scolded in such a way by her mother. Her face turned red and white, and in the end, she covered her face and ran back to her own room.


    "Huairen, don''t be angry. Yanran was spoiled by me when she was young." When she had taken Yanran and Meng Huairen away from the Jun residence that day, she had not thought about returning to the Jun residence. She had even left the Jun residence in front of Jun Zhentian.


    No matter what, he couldn''t go back.


    She had originally wanted to follow Meng Huairen into the Sword Spirit Sect because she was an elder''s wife, but who would have known that before the elder could even sit down, the Sword Spirit Sect would be out of steam. Thankfully, from what Huairen had said, it was only a matter of time before the sect would rise again.


    However, Jun Yanran had changed her undisguised attitude. She had repeatedly told him that the Meng manor was inferior to the Jun residence, but she did not mind. Who knew that she would mention it to Huairen today?


    The Jun Family''s path had already been cut off. She could only survive by relying on Meng Huairen. Therefore, he could not offend Meng Huairen unless it was absolutely necessary.


    Meng Huairen did not seem to take Jun Yanran''s words seriously. Instead, he comforted Mrs Shen, "Your child is still young and will understand sooner or later. Rou, don''t worry. The Sword Spirit Sect will recover to its former glory!"


    "Huairen, it doesn''t matter whether you''re an elder of the Sword Spirit Sect or not. I''m fine as long as you stay by your side." Madam Shen''s eyes were filled with affection as she leaned on Meng Huairen''s shoulder.


    Meng Huairen was enjoying his confessions to Mrs Shen. However, he did not notice the cold look in his eyes when he leaned against his shoulder.


    In the evening, Jun Yanran was so angry that she refused to eat, but Lady Shen did not send someone to bring her food to coax her. Now that she could not protect herself, if she did not work hard and raise her daughter, she would really be a piece of trash.


    Jun Yanran''s disturbance lasted for several days and this matter was not brought up.


    As for Jun Qiyan''s side, Dan Lei had already been hanging over the Jun residence for three days.


    Countless people had been watching the Jun residence day and night, wanting to see if this seventh grade pill could be refined successfully or not.


    Some people had already prepared the betrothal gifts and were waiting for the pills to come out of the furnace before bringing them over to ask for a marriage.


    On the third night, the Pill Lightning finally activated.


    Di Moyu and Wu Zhu who were in the Jun residence, along with the Octadic Snake, were able to resist the lightning for Jun Qiyan. Fortunately, there were only three grade seven medicinal pills that dropped so far; their might was enormous.


    In the morning, the clouds and pellets dispersed from the Jun residence, and the aroma of the grade seven pellet had already spread throughout the mansion.


    Some people had already arrived early on with a betrothal gift after hearing it, and those people who couldn''t come up with an excuse to meet Jun Zhentian and Jun Xuanfeng.


    However, these people didn''t wait for Jun Xuanfeng to send them out. Di Mo Jiu''s face darkened as he placed the Octadic Snake at the Jun residence''s gate as a guardian god.


    Unexpectedly, although an ordinary person would be frightened of hearing about the Octadic Snake, those who cultivated it would become like dogs that had caught a whiff of the steamed buns and started streaming in nonstop.


    What a joke. Where would a dao companion like him go to find a pill refiner who could concoct a Grade 7 pill and had the protection of a huge snake on his body? He could not be found even with a lantern.


    However, it was fortunate that the presence of the Octadic Snake was still present. Although there were many cultivators on the way to the Jun residence, no one dared to provoke it unless they had practiced martial arts.


    Jun Qiyan fell into a deep slumber for three days after the pill was refined. When she woke up three days later, many flowers had grown out of the Jun residence. She looked at Ye Changsheng in astonishment and said, "Your cultivation is so good that you shouldn''t plant so many flowers in my house, right?"


    Ye Changsheng knew that it was a misunderstanding on Jun Qianyan''s part, and didn''t know whether to laugh or cry. "I didn''t do this."


    "If it wasn''t you, could it be that I did it?" The only person who could communicate with flowers, plants, and spirits was Ye Changsheng. Naturally, she subconsciously believed that Ye Changsheng had done it, so how could he possibly find a second person in the Jun residence?


    However, when she saw Ye Changsheng looking at her with a gentle smile on his face, she became a little unsure. She pointed her forefinger at herself. "I did it?"


    "Yes." Ye Changsheng nodded and began to explain the reason for his actions to Jun Qiyan.


    Afterwards, Jun Qiyan finally understood that the fragrance of a Grade 7 pill was no longer just a simple fragrance; it contained an endless amount of spiritual energy. After absorbing the spiritual energy, the plant life force would grow several times faster than before.


    Jun Qiyan looked at the light purple pill in her palm and thoughtfully nodded, "So a Grade 7 pill has this kind of effect."


    "However, Qiyan, I feel that it''s time for you to go to the door and settle the major issue of your life."


    "A life-long event?!" Mine?! "What?!" Jun Qianyan looked at Ye Changsheng in disbelief, but he could not see any trace of joking on his face.


    "Oh right, where''s Baji? Where''s Tao Wu? And what about Di Mo Jiu, why aren''t they all here? "


    "I''m setting up a stage for you at the entrance." It was unknown when Gu Yao arrived at the door.


    Jun Qiyan could not understand what was going on as he hurried to the Jun residence''s entrance.

 C278

    The words "Groom Search Competition" were clearly written on the large arena.


    Jun Qiyan froze on the spot.


    Di Mo Jiu was sitting on a chair, knocking his legs together as he looked disdainfully into the distance.


    Jun Qi took a step forward and used her qinggong to fly towards the arena.


    Feng Chen Lang held the gong in his hand as he knocked on the gong and shouted, "Do not miss the chance to pass by! Groom Search Competition! As long as we can defeat this man, we can marry the young miss of the Jun Family to Jun Qiyan. "


    "Are you crazy?"


    Jun Qiyan asked in disbelief as he snatched the gong and drum from Feng Chenlang''s hands.


    Feng Chenlang blinked his eyes aggrievedly, and then said: "Boss! I am not doing this for your own good! "


    As he finished his sentence, he looked at Di Mo Jiu with a serious look on his face.


    At this time, a certain grandpa was sitting on a chair resting, not even sparing Feng Chenlang a glance.


    Jun Qiyan gritted his teeth and continued, "You clearly know ¡­"


    "Qiyan, don''t be anxious. Look at you, this guy easily kidnapped you when you were still in the academy. What if she doesn''t treat you well?"


    Feng Chen Lang slowly said, but his eyes were full of evil intentions.


    Jun Qiyan couldn''t help but rub his forehead. What the hell did he believe in?


    "Don''t be too nervous, the Ninth Master has already agreed. Why are you so flustered?" "It''s not like I''m asking you to go on stage!"


    Jun Qiyan: "¡­"


    Seeing that she couldn''t win against Feng Chenlang, Jun Qianyin couldn''t help but take a deep breath. Then, gnashing her teeth, she said, "Let me tell you this: if you dare to run away from the limelight, I''ll skin you alive!"


    When Feng Chen Lang heard this, he let out a hollow laugh, and looked at Gu Lao Lang with a disappointed look.


    This shout caused quite a few people to watch.


    There were even some commoners below who started jeering, "Is what you guys said true? "So long as I beat up this pretty boy, I''ll be able to marry Miss Jun?"


    If it were in the past, Jun Qiyan, a well-known trash, would not even have approached her, let alone recruited her. He was afraid that he would be tainted by bad luck.


    However, things were different now. He didn''t know that this Jun Qianyan was a Grade Seven Alchemist. Not to mention the rest, just her reputation as an Alchemist was enough to cause many to gasp in admiration.


    Di Mo Jiu looked like a little white face, which made the commoners even more excited.


    However, if they were to know that the person seated there wasn''t a pretty boy, but a pavilion master of the Divine Hall, it was likely that they would be so shocked that their jaws would drop.


    "Of course!" Feng Chen Lang patted his chest, "A lord''s words are hard to follow!"


    When Feng Chen Lang said this, the crowd below was completely stunned. Countless people wanted to come and give it a try.


    "I''ll go first!" A robust and righteous elder brother walked onto the stage.


    He first glanced at Jun Qianyan, then looked at Di Mo Jiu, and finally said, "To be honest, I won''t hide the truth! "I''ve always admired Miss Jun, and I don''t expect her to become my wife. Even if she could look at me with a straight face, I would still be satisfied."


    When these words came out, Feng Chenlang applauded loudly, and said with a face full of excitement: "Alright! It was a man! I like people like you! Enough men! "


    Jun Qiyan glared fiercely at Feng Chenlang as he felt that he had embarrassed himself to the point of completely losing face.


    That big guy cupped his hands towards Di Mo Jiu, then took a step forward and prepared to attack.


    Before that man could even touch Di Mo Jiu''s clothes, he was sent flying by an invisible force.


    The big man flew out in a parabola.


    Ye Zichen looked at the person on the stage who was pretending to be asleep with a confused expression on his face.


    Feng Chen Lang helplessly covered his face. This was too embarrassing!


    "Cough cough, is there anyone else?"


    Feng Chen Lang raised his voice, but the people below still didn''t understand what had happened.


    This was too strange ¡­


    Some refused to accept this outcome, but the challengers all repeated their history, and no one dared to even touch the corner of Di Mo Jiu''s clothes.


    This Groom Search Competition directly evolved into someone who could touch the corners of Di Mo Jiu''s clothes.


    And the result was an obvious defeat.


    After a short while, Di Mo Jiu''s eyelashes trembled as he yawned elegantly. She narrowed her eyes and asked, "Is it over?"


    Everyone: "..."


    At least give me some face!


    Pity we''ve been busy for such a long time, you two didn''t even have a reaction?! This was simply an extraordinary shame and humiliation!


    The corners of Jun Qiyan''s mouth could not help but twitch. She truly deserved to be called the Ninth Master of her family!


    Feng Chen Lang''s handsome face was completely red. To think that he wanted to show this man some face.


    What happened to the damage being halved?


    Did they have to be so abnormal!?


    In contrast to Feng Chen Lang''s frustration, Jun Qianyan''s mood seemed to soar to outer space. She slightly raised her head and looked disdainfully at Feng Chen Lang as if to say: Look, our Ninth Master is that awesome.


    Di Mo Jiu looked at Jun Qiyan''s excited expression and curled his lips.


    Both Gu Yao and Ye Changsheng had arrived late.


    Jun Qiyan glanced behind them and asked, "Why isn''t Beijing''s Ji Bai here?"


    Ye Changsheng gave a refined smile and said, "He''s in White City."


    Jun Qiyan nodded.


    The corners of Gu Yao''s mouth couldn''t help but twitch as he looked at the miserable sight before him.


    "Really, trenches are inhumane!"


    Gu Yao indignantly said.


    Jun Qianyan looked at Gu Yao with a fake smile, "What? Take revenge for them?! If you have the ability, go ahead. "


    Jun Qiyan said with squinted eyes.


    Gu Yao laughed dryly, not saying another word.


    "It''s time to fulfill your promise."


    Di Mo Jiu''s deep voice rang out.


    Jun Qiyan looked at the four people in front of him, confused.


    "What kind of agreement do you guys have with me?" As smart as she was, Jun Qiyan could quickly smell the scent of conspiracy in the air.


    Gu Yao, Feng Chenlang, and Ye Changsheng looked at each other and didn''t dare to say anything.


    Jun Qiyan narrowed his dangerous eyes and looked at Di Mo Jiu.


    Di Mo Jiu coughed lightly and continued, "These three people said they want to compete in the Groom Search Competition."


    Di Mo Jiu unceremoniously sold all three of them, looked at Jun Qianyan with a face full of grievance, and said pitifully.


    Ye Changsheng: "¡­"


    Feng Chen Lang: "¡­"


    Gu Yao: "¡­"


    No matter what, you are the Venerable Demon Lord of this generation, is it really good to let your subordinates know about you like this?!


    The few of them silently roared in their hearts.


    Apparently, he didn''t know how to write the word shameless.


    Jun Qiyan expressed that he didn''t want to get involved with her. He narrowed his eyes and asked, "I know about this, but why are you all talking about fulfilling your promises?"


    Di Mo Jiu let out a slight cough, and an unnatural look flashed across his face.


    Under the pressure of Jun Qiyan''s gaze, he continued, "They said that if someone could touch my clothes, they would betroth you to someone else."


    After he finished speaking, the air became visibly quiet for a while.


    Following that, there was a burst of ghostly wails and wolf howls.


    Feng Chenlang held his stomach as he looked at Jun Feiyan with a wronged expression.


    "This is not fair! I am not the only one who is involved in this matter! "


    Feng Chen Lang wailed.


    This was bullying!


    Jun Qiyan shot a glance at Feng Chen Lang, who was boasting with his hands on his stomach. She was well aware of how strong her punch was. This fellow was simply putting on an act!


    "Yeah, you''re not the only one involved, but I''m afraid you''re the only one who can propose such a boring project, right?"


    Jun Qiyan said with a smile, but it was enough to send chills down one''s spine.


    Feng Chenlang''s pompous expression was a bit stiff. It was obvious that someone had caught on to his thoughts.


    "Cough, cough." She coughed, embarrassed.


    "Qiyan, I-I''m not doing this for your own good!"


    Feng Chenlang said with a serious expression. He looked like he wanted to take out his heart and show it to Jun Qiyan.


    Jun Qiyan narrowed her eyes and waited for Feng Chen Lang to continue.


    "Look, you''ve known this guy for such a long time, but you''ve never made your relationship official!"


    Feng Chenlang said with a serious expression, "As a brother, I see that you are so hungry ¡­ Pui! Seeing that you two love each other, of course I want to help you. With this method, won''t it make sense for you two to be together? "


    After Feng Chenlang finished speaking, he stuck his hair into his waist as three words "Praise me" were clearly written on his face.


    Jun Qiyan didn''t know whether to laugh or cry.


    "You have too many devious ideas!"


    After the refining of the grade seven Bone Ablutionary Dan Bead was completed, Jun Qiyan arrived at the Floating Cloud Cliff that he had agreed upon with the Master.


    As far as the eye could see, Floating Cloud Cliff was shrouded in tranquil and serene clouds, making it seem like a paradise.


    Not too far away, at the end of Cloudcloud Cliff, was a thatched cottage.


    Jun Qiyan raised his eyebrows. Within a hundred mile radius, there was only one place that he could live in ¡­


    However, the words did not seem like they could be used to live in a thatched cottage!


    Even so, Jun Qiyan still cautiously walked inside.


    In the instant that Jun Qiyan stepped into the thatched cottage, an enormous change had taken place in her surroundings. She only felt herself falling down, before finally losing consciousness in the white light.


    When she woke up again, everything around her was no longer the same as it had been at Floating Cloud Cliff.

 C279

    Although Meng Fan had prepared a room for Jun Qiyan, she didn''t stay for long.


    Jun Qiyan had only come here to hand over the Bone Ablutionary Dan Bead to the elder.


    Right now, there were more important matters waiting to be dealt with by Jun Qiyan.


    After telling the Master of Words about his situation, the Master of Words expressed that he could understand it.


    "Junior Sister, are you going to the outside world?"


    Jun Qiyan nodded as he asked with a curious look on his face.


    "Then, can you bring me out as well?" Meng Fan''s face was flushed as he scratched his head.


    Jun Qiyan raised an eyebrow. Meng Fan had been cultivating elixirs in the valley since he could remember. So it was normal for him to be curious about the outside world.


    However, the people outside were sinister in their hearts. It wasn''t that Jun Qianyan didn''t want him to leave, but rather that she was truly afraid that Meng Fan would suffer losses ¡­


    "You want to come out with me?" Jun Qiyan silently furrowed his brows as he asked.


    Meng Fan nodded, his eyes filled with hope.


    "Master, did you agree to leave the valley?"


    Jun Qiyan asked.


    Meng Fan nodded. "I''ve already asked Master. Master said that I can go out and gain some experience."


    Jun Qiyan let out a breath of relief. Seeing Meng Fan like this, even if he didn''t bring him out, he would still secretly run away in the name of the experiential learning flag.


    Not only that, Meng Fan couldn''t possibly still be in the valley, always wanting to go out and gain some experience.


    "If you insist on leaving, it is not impossible. But remember, you must follow me closely and not be captivated by the flamboyance outside."


    Jun Qiyan warned him with a worried tone.


    Although Meng Fan had some doubts in his heart, he didn''t ask.


    In the outside world, one was afraid and the other was nervous.


    Meng Fan was handsome and also a Grade Eight Alchemist. Putting everything else aside, just his status as a Grade Eight Alchemist was something that countless people couldn''t match up to. In the entire Eastern Xuan Continent, perhaps only the Words Grandmaster could match him.


    If anyone else were to know about this, they would have no idea what kind of trouble it would create.


    Thinking up to this point, Jun Qiyan couldn''t help but shake her head.


    Meng Fan, on the other hand, didn''t know what Jun Qiyan was thinking. His entire person was in a state of jealousy and excitement.


    After leaving the valley and arriving at the market, Jun Qiyan was the first to contact Di Mo Jiu. No matter what it was, as long as the Ninth Master was by her side, she would always feel safe.


    As the saying goes, one day apart seems like three years. Di Mo Jiu smiled as he looked at the figure of Jun Feiyan slowly walking over.


    However, when she saw that there was still a man by Jun Qiyan''s side, her smile disappeared without a trace.


    "This is my Elder Brother Meng Fan." Jun Qi said with a smile as she pointed at the people around her.


    Di Mo Jiu narrowed his eyes, and then quietly wrapped Jun Qiyan in his arms, swearing to take over the position.


    Jun Qiyan was stunned for a moment, then looked at Di Mo Jiu in amusement, the warmth in her eyes could not be stopped.


    "This is mine..." Dearest one, just call him Mo Jiu. "


    Jun Qiyan said with a smile.


    The two words "Di Mo''s Nine Couples" were obviously very enjoyable.


    Meng Fan didn''t know what was going on, but when he heard the word ''lover,'' his handsome face turned red.


    The three of them found a random hotel and settled down.


    Di Mo Jiu came to Jun Qiyan''s room, his eyes filled with tenderness as he looked at the man whom he had not seen for a few days.


    Under the gaze of Di Mo Jiu, Jun Qiyan''s face turned red.


    She stiffly changed the topic, "Have you found anything outside these few days, Jun Yanran?"


    When Di Mo Jiu saw that Jun Qiyan was talking about the important matter, he stopped joking around.


    "We have indeed found traces of Jun Yanran." Di Mo Jiu said slowly, his eyes flashed with a trace of coldness.


    Upon hearing news of Jun Yanran, Jun Qiyan''s eyes narrowed as a trace of coldness flashed through the corner of her mouth.


    "Not only did we find traces of Jun Yanran, but we also found traces of Jun Yunge."


    Jun Qiyan''s eyes lit up when she heard Di Mo Jiu''s words. When she was in the Sword Spirit Sect, she hadn''t found any trace of Jun Laige. She had thought that she wouldn''t be able to find his whereabouts.


    How important it is to have a good husband!


    Seeing the smile on Jun Qiyan''s face, Di Mo Jiu''s expression softened.


    "Jun Yanran has already been watched by our men, but the situation on the side of Jun Yunge is a bit complicated. However, our men are also secretly following her." I''m not afraid that there won''t be any news of her. "


    Di Mo Jiu rubbed Jun Qiyan''s head as he spoke.


    "Jun Yanran destroyed my family, I will definitely not let her off."


    Thinking of her older brother, a flash of coldness flashed through Jun Qiyan''s eyes, and her killing intent in the depths of her eyes was not concealed at all.


    Di Mo Jiu looked at the dark expression in Jun Mo Xie''s eyes, and didn''t say anything. Jun Mo Chen had always been a thorn in Jun Qianyan''s heart, and he wouldn''t feel at ease if he didn''t personally remove this thorn.


    Revenge was one thing, but Di Mo Jiu didn''t want Jun Qiyan to live in hatred forever.


    "I''ll take you to them tomorrow."


    Di Mo Jiu said with a smile. It was only then that Jun Qianyan''s expression eased a little. She gently hugged Di Mo Jiu''s waist, her face dark and gloomy.


    Di Mo Jiu''s body stiffened, was this little girl doing it on purpose?


    "Dye."


    "Eh?"


    Jun Qiyan recovered her wits, and did not notice the change in Di Mo Jiu''s voice.


    "Do you like to torture me on purpose?"


    Di Mo Jiu''s dark and hoarse voice slowly rang out in the air. Jun Qianyan stared blankly, not understanding the meaning behind Di Mo Jiu''s words.


    Di Mo Jiu only regained his senses after he felt the strange feeling in his lower abdomen.


    Her pretty little face instantly turned as red as an apple. Pointing at Di Mo Jiu, she stammered, "You, you rogue!"


    Di Mo Jiu was being accused of being a bit innocent. He spread out his hands to express his helplessness, "Dye, you have to know that I am also a normal man, I also have my own physical needs."


    Physiological needs.


    These four words made Jun Qiyan''s face turn even redder.


    A few colourful scenes appeared in his mind.


    How could this man... How could he be so shameless!


    Jun Qiyan pushed Di Mo Jiu away as he yelled, "You! Muddy bridge! I''m not going to care about you anymore!"


    With that, he turned his face to the side, as if he really did not want to bother with Di Mo Jiu.


    Di Mo Jiu wasn''t annoyed by Jun Qianyan''s reaction either, he was admiring his son''s behavior.


    After a moment, he lovingly stroked Jun Qiyan''s head, smiling as he said, "It''s getting late. You should rest early."


    Jun Qiyan kept herself under the blanket and did not make a sound. Only when she heard the sound of the door closing outside did her furry head slowly reveal itself.


    Her mind was in a mess. She had lived for two lifetimes, but this was the first time she had been taken advantage of by someone. It was too shameful!


    In his heart, Jun Qiyan secretly spurned the fact that he could not resist beauty.


    She did not know when she had fallen asleep. When she woke up the next day, the sky was still dark.

 C280

    Meng Fan had been staying in the valley for a long time, and his words had made it a good habit for him to wake up early and go to bed early. Di Mo Jiu and Jun Qiyan, on the other hand, were different.


    Jun Qiyan walked up to the two of them and said with some surprise, "I thought I woke up early enough. Why did you two wake up so early as well?"


    The girl''s melodious voice echoed in the hall and both of them looked towards the source of the voice.


    Di Mo Jiu raised his eyebrows but didn''t say anything.


    Seeing no reaction from the two, Jun Qiyan continued to ask, "What are you two talking about? We were chatting so happily."


    Meng Fan''s eyes sparkled as he looked at Di Mo Jiu. His expression was very different from the first time he had seen him, "Junior Sister, you ¡­" This is incredible. "


    Meng Fan''s voice paused for a moment, and then he said the word ''beloved'' in a voice he didn''t have the face to utter.


    Jun Qiyan was stunned for a moment, then looked at Di Mo Jiu with a bit of doubt.


    "What did you say to my Senior Brother?"


    Jun Qiyan narrowed her eyes and asked in a low voice. This man was truly treacherous. It had only been a few minutes since he had noticed the two of them, but this man had actually bribed his innocent and harmless senior brother!


    Di Mo Jiu innocently blinked his eyes and said, "I just told him about my experiences of travelling to the north and south."


    The experience of travelling to the north?


    Jun Qiyan found this somewhat amusing. He was a dignified Demon Lord, and had told a mere mortal that he had experienced travelling to the north?


    Jun Qiyan opened his mouth, but just as he was about to say something, he was interrupted by Meng Fan''s agitated voice.


    "Brother, you mentioned Chi You earlier, what happened to him? Wasn''t Chi You a character from the Absolute beginning period? How do you know so much? "


    Meng Fan asked endlessly.


    A few black lines appeared on Jun Qiyan''s forehead.


    Heh! Good heavens! He had become a big brother!


    Di Mo Jiu thought for a while, and then continued, "You bastard, if we were to talk about this in the distant ¡­" He''s still a relative of mine ¡­ "


    Before he could finish his words, Jun Qiyan interrupted him.


    "Have you finished your breakfast? After we eat, it''s time for us to go. "


    Meng Fan had originally been dissatisfied with being interrupted by Jun Qianyan, but when he heard that he was going to perspire, his entire person perked up.


    "Where are we going?"


    Meng Fan asked excitedly.


    The corners of Jun Qiyan''s lips drew in a cold arc, and his eyes became a bit cold.


    "Take you to see someone."


    By the time they arrived at Jun Yanran''s place, it was already the middle of the morning.


    Jun Qiyan narrowed her eyes. It was an inconspicuous villa.


    She was well aware of what kind of character Jun Yanran was. She had been spoiled since she was young, and the Jun Family was one of the four great families of the Eastern Tomb Kingdom. They were naturally the best, and Jun Yanran had been doted on since she was young.


    It was needless to say that she knew that Jun Yanran would not get used to living in such a remote place all of a sudden.


    Sure enough, after they got close to Jun Yanran''s residence, they heard the sound of something being smashed.


    "All of you, scram! Is this something a human should eat? Let me tell you this, I am the daughter of the White Knot Tiger, and if you treat me like this, my father will definitely not let you off! "


    A sharp sound came from within the room, followed by the sound of something being smashed.


    A few moments later, a few young villagers, their faces covered with humiliation, ran out of the room.


    Jun Qiyan sneered. He knew without even thinking that this was to avoid them, so he came to such a remote place.


    However, Jun Yanran didn''t know what was good for her. She lived in someone else''s house and ate other people''s food. Not only did she not feel that she was relying on anyone else, she even considered herself as the eldest miss.


    She would order around the person who acted as her servant. It would be weird if she wasn''t chased out!


    Sure enough, a moment later, the woman who had been slapped in the face by Jun Yanran earlier aggressively brought a group of villagers into the house. After a series of screams, she was thrown out like a dog.


    "Do, do you know who I am ¡­"


    Jun Yanran said angrily with a trace of unwillingness in her eyes. The man sneered as a trace of disdain flashed on her face.


    "Let me tell you, even if you are the Emperor, we are not afraid of you."


    Then, he muttered under his breath, "She''s just a stray dog, but she really thinks of herself as a young miss. Why don''t she just piss on herself and see what she''s capable of!"


    Her face was flushed red, but she could not explain why. As the two of them were talking, Shen Shuyi, who went out to buy vegetables, was late returning.


    Shen Shuyi had never been wronged ever since she joined the Jun Family. However, when she came to this village, she was either disgraced or ordered to do some menial work.


    Now that he saw his precious daughter thrown to the ground, he was even angrier. He acted as if he was going to fight to the death with her.


    Even though it was not a big deal if they went up there, they had angered the people in front of them. Although Jun Yanran and Shen Shuyi were both cultivators, they were still not as crowded as the people in front of them. They were easily thrown out.


    The mother and daughter duo stood outside the door, staring foolishly, not knowing what to do.


    Jun Qiyan sneered as he thought to himself, "The wicked will always suffer."


    They had done such a heartless thing. They thought that they would be able to live a noble life with Bai Qiu Hu, but they didn''t expect that they would end up like this!


    Jun Qiyan leapt down from the rooftop and narrowed her eyes at the two in front of her. The mockery in her eyes could not be concealed.


    Jun Yanran was half-sitting on the ground, looking at the small feet in front of her. She thought that the villagers were regretting their decision and came over to beg for their help.


    She laughed coldly and said, "Hmph! Regret it now? It''s over! Let me tell all of you, if you don''t let that little bitch kowtow to me and admit her wrongs, I''ll let my dad kill all of you! so that you won''t have a complete corpse! "


    Jun Yanran roared without a care, like a crazy woman.


    "Jun Yanran, who do you want to kill?"


    Jun Qiyan pinched Jun Yanran''s chin, and pierced her delicate skin with her sharp nails. Her eyes were filled with a cold light.


    A familiar voice echoed in the air. Shen Shuyi and Jun Yanran were stunned for a moment. The two of them raised their heads in disbelief and looked stiffly at Jun Qianyan.


    Jun Yanran was the first to react as she pointed angrily at Jun Feiyan. She screamed and cursed incessantly, "Ah ¡ª ¡ª Bitch! Slut! I will kill you! "


    The woman in front of him was clad in red, and her delicate face was cold. Her haughty and aloof appearance was in stark contrast to Jun Yanran''s despondent appearance.


    Such a contrast was unacceptable to Jun Yanran.


    Jun Yanran looked at Jun Qianyan in hatred, and her eyes inadvertently glanced at Di Mo Jiu and Meng Fan, who were standing behind her. Even Emperor Ye Ming was unable to compare to their outstanding figures.


    "Jun Yanran, long time no see."


    Jun Qiyan didn''t pay any attention to Jun Yanran''s attitude. Instead, her lips curved up in a smile. However, that smile didn''t reach her eyes; on the contrary, it contained a frightening coldness!


    Jun Yanran''s face was pale, but she tried her best to suppress the fear in her heart as she said, "Yes, it''s been a while. My good sister, do you like the big gift I gave you?"


    Jun Qiyan''s expression turned cold. She naturally knew what Jun Yanran meant by her words.

 C281

    That big gift was none other than the destruction of the Jun Family!


    Jun Qiyan''s expression turned cold, and even his initial smile had disappeared. His face was filled with a thick killing intent; it was indeed the doing of this mother and daughter pair!


    "Bastard!"


    Jun Qiyan wasn''t polite at all. She slapped Jun Yanran''s face, and it could be said that she used 100% of her strength in front of that slap.


    She had a pretty face that was tall and handsome in a short period of time.


    Thinking about Jun Mo Chen''s miserable state, Jun Qiyan pulled on his hair viciously, forcing her to look him in the eye.


    Jun Yanran laughed a few times and also refused to be outdone.


    "You''ve lived in the Jun Family for more than twenty years! Don''t you feel a little peep? Your father, grandfather, and brother! This is the place where you grew up! "


    Grief and sorrow flashed through Jun Qianyan''s eyes. He had originally thought that Jun Yanran was just a little arrogant and had been spoiled ever since she was little. She hadn''t thought that her thoughts would be so vicious that even her father, who had doted on her since she was young, would do such a thing!


    The expression on Jun Yanran''s face stiffened, but quickly returned to normal.


    "Father? Brother? Grandfather? "


    A trace of viciousness flashed through Jun Yanran''s eyes. Her face was filled with an unwilling expression.


    "They deserve it!"


    Jun Yanran spat out a mouthful of blood and snorted coldly, saying, "My father is Bai Qiuhu!" What kind of thing was Jun Zhentian? Jun Mo Chen, he''s just a bastard, he''s on par with me, and even wants me to call him big brother! As for Jun Xuanfeng? That old bastard only knew how to lean towards you from a young age! Why? You''re just a piece of trash that can''t cultivate!


    The expression on Jun Yanran''s face became crazier and crazier as the words that came out of her mouth gradually became brazen.


    "How am I worse than you? Jun Qiyan, do you know? Do you know how miserable it was for the Jun residence to be flattened by her? If a bunch of ants can be compared with the Sword Spirit Sect, then they deserve to be ¡­ "


    Even before he could say the word ''kill'', he was sent flying by Jun Qianyan''s kick. His frail body directly collided with a nearby tree trunk, and the force of the collision actually broke the tree trunk!


    Jun Yanran fainted on the spot.


    Meng Fan, who was standing behind Jun Qiyan, couldn''t help but widen his eyes. The way he looked at Jun Qianyan also changed a bit.


    F * ck...


    Too savage!


    Meng Fan swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He had his Junior Martial Sister''s soft and weak appearance, but he didn''t expect her to be so fierce when fighting ¡­


    However, Meng Fan didn''t feel that Jun Qiyan was an ordinary person at all. He had roughly heard about the matter just now. This Jun Yanran had caused the death of his Junior Sister, and she didn''t even have the slightest intention to repent!


    Even if his family was wiped out, it wouldn''t be an exaggeration!


    After dealing with Jun Yanran, Jun Qiyan turned her gaze towards Shen Shuyi, who was still in shock.


    Shen Shuyi looked at her ''daughter'', who she had not seen for a long time, and a hint of stiffness flashed across her face. She rolled her eyes, and a flattering smile appeared on her face, "Qiyan ¡­ "How did you find this place?"


    Jun Qiyan sneered as a cold light flashed in her eyes. "Mother really doesn''t want me to come."


    As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Shuyi couldn''t help but shiver. Her mother''s cry made her feel uncomfortable all over.


    "Qiyan, you, where did you say that ¡­" Shen Shuyi said hoarsely.


    "Shen Shuyi, didn''t you always feel proud of Jun Yanran? Why don''t you check on her? "I used a hundred percent of my strength in that kick earlier ¡­"


    "Oh, by the way, you still don''t know what stage you have reached, right? Let me think, Xiantian? Wrong... Jindan? Oh, that''s right, it''s a late stage Jindan Stage! "


    Late Aurous Core stage ¡­


    Shen Shuyi''s face instantly turned pale. If that''s the case, then wouldn''t her Yanran ¡­


    Shen Shuyi''s gaze towards Jun Qiyan immediately changed. It was as though she was hacking away at her father''s enemy.


    After all, Jun Qiyan''s kick had crippled his most beloved daughter.


    "Jun Qiyan! You little slut! That''s your sister! "How could you do that to her? Let me tell you, you''re going to be struck by lightning!"


    Shen Shuyi had temporarily forgotten about her fear as she recklessly threw punches and kicks at Jun Qiyan.


    Jun Qiyan did not speak, and could not resist.


    She said softly, "Mother, do you know how much I wish you could look at me from a young age? Even if you were half as good to Jun Yanran, I still wouldn''t be as heartless as I am today."


    An almost imperceptible trace of despondency flashed through Jun Qianyan''s eyes. It wasn''t that she was sad, but rather that the original owner''s body was subconsciously reacting.


    Shen Shuyi''s expression changed. Ever since she was young, she couldn''t love her daughter. Not only because she was a cultivation trash, but also because she couldn''t love her daughter from the bottom of her heart.


    Seeing that Shen Shuyi had remained silent, Jun Qiyan sneered coldly, but didn''t say anything.


    "But you''re right. I''m not your own woman, am I?"


    Jun Qiyan looked coldly at Shen Shuyi. He had already decided on a hundred thousand for this mother.


    Shen Shuyi assumed that Jun Qiyan knew of Jun Yanran''s identity. Her eyes darkened as she knew that no matter what, she wouldn''t let her "daughter" go today. She might as well spare herself the pretense.


    With a cold smile, he said, "If I knew that there would be such a day, I would have strangled you little bastard when you were just born!"


    Shen Shuyi''s expression was crazed, looking no different from Jun Yanran.


    Boom!


    Shen Shuyi''s body flew backward like a kite with its string cut. This time, it wasn''t Jun Qianyan who attacked; it was Di Moyan who had been silently standing behind her all this time.


    Jun Qiyan''s pupils twitched. He looked at the unconscious Shen Shuyi without uttering a word.


    Di Mo Jiu slowly pulled Jun Qiyan''s body into his embrace, silently comforting her.


    Meng Fan silently stared at the scene in front of him.


    After a while, Di Mo Jiu slowly spoke up, consoling and asking, "Don''t be afraid, I will be your man in the future. How do you plan to deal with the two of them?"


    Jun Qiyan pursed her lips and slowly said, "Let them live."


    It wasn''t that Jun Qianyan was soft-hearted, but that one kick from Di Mo Jiu was enough to take half of their lives. Furthermore, both of them were hiding in their stomachs; their Jindan had long since been destroyed.


    Weren''t they mocking the original owner for being a trash?


    That was the feeling of them often becoming trash!


    Sometimes, staying alive was worse than death.


    After leaving this place, Jun Qianyan''s complexion had improved by quite a bit. However, there was still a trace of maliciousness on her face that couldn''t be removed.


    Di Mo Jiu sighed and held Jun Qiyan''s small hand tightly.


    "Where is Jun Yunge?"


    Jun Qiyan turned around and asked.


    After a moment of silence, Di Mo Jiu said: "How could Jun Yunge not be easy to deal with... The White Tiger is also there. "


    Jun Yunrue was slightly surprised. She assumed that it was because Jun Laige was a Saintess, and Bai Qiuhu was the Great Elder. The two of them were together to discuss the revival of the Sword Spirit Sect.


    "It will be fine, I still have you!"

 C282

    Jun Qiyan playfully blinked his eyes. Di Mo Jiu was relieved to see that the matter just now did not affect Jun Qianyan too much.


    Meng Fan stared at the two of them, his heart filled with doubt.


    "Cough cough, can the two of you pay more attention!"


    Meng Fan wanted to show off his eldest senior brother''s grandeur, but the blush on his face betrayed him.


    Jun Qiyan smiled but didn''t say anything. He held onto Di Mo Jiu''s hand without letting go.


    After a while, the two of them arrived at Jun Yunge''s residence.


    It was a temple, and as they slowly walked in, a sound that would make people blush could be heard coming from the room.


    This was a temple!


    Meng Fan was a bit surprised.


    Jun Qiyan''s pupils darkened as a hint of disdain flashed across the corner of her mouth.


    In the temple, the person who could do this was not a monk, but since it wasn''t a monk, then there was only one possibility.


    Thinking up to here, Jun Qiyan did not care about the defense of men and women. She walked up to them and kicked them away.


    Two figures intertwined, their white bodies exposed in the air.


    The two of them were none other than Jun Laige and Bai Qiuhu, who had disappeared for a long time.


    The two of them were stunned for a moment. It seemed as if they had not expected someone to barge in. Jun Yunge was the first to react. He let out a familiar scream, as if he was about to burst their eardrums.


    Jun Yunge frantically covered himself up.


    Bai Qiuhu''s expression was cold and filled with anger after a good thing had been interrupted.


    He angrily looked at the three people outside the door. Then, his face turned pale as if he couldn''t believe that Jun Qiyan had found out where he was hiding so quickly.


    The corners of Jun Qianyan''s mouth held a hint of a smile as she looked at the two people who had panicked.


    "You! How did you find this place? "


    Jun Yunge''s face was pale white. When he saw Di Mo Jiu behind Jun Qianyan, his body seemed to be on the verge of collapse.


    He ¡­ No matter what, he was still here!


    Jun Yunge looked as if he would faint any second now.


    "Elegy, this Great Elder ¡­ Why do I remember him as Yanran''s father ¡­ "You two, how did you two ¡­"


    Jun Qiyan seemed to have suffered some sort of blow as he pointed at the two people in front of him with an expression of disbelief.


    Jun Yunge''s complexion darkened. He wished that he could just go down and fight Jun Qianyan to the death!


    However, when she looked around her surroundings, she discovered that her clothes had long since been shredded to pieces by the white Qiu Hu. For a moment, she didn''t even have a single piece of clothing she could wear!


    Jun Yunge bit his lips and tried to explain, "No ¡­ It''s not what you see. "


    Jun Qiyan sneered. Jun Yunge''s explanation was a bit too pale.


    It''s not like that?


    If it wasn''t already like this, then what else could it be?


    Jun Yunge also realized how pale his explanation was.


    She bit her lip.


    Could he blame her?


    If not for Jun Zhentian sending him to the temple since he was young! How did he end up like this!


    Jun Laige''s eyes were filled with hatred as he thought of this.


    It turned out that when Jun Yunge was ten years old, he had met with the ''White Kylin Tiger'' and had been treated as a bed warming tool by the ''White Kylin Tiger''.


    The white Qiu Hu was famous for his lustful personality. Moreover, he did not reject her, and was a pedophile as well.


    When he had first seen Jun Laige, he had started to make moves against him.


    However, even though Jun Laige was still young, he knew that he had to fight for everything on his own!


    So he decisively used his own body to become the saint of the Sword Spirit Sect.


    The corners of Jun Qiyan''s lips curled up as she watched this scene. A mocking smile flashed past her eyes.


    Di Moyu pulled Jun Qiyan into his arms, murmuring, "Don''t look at dirty stuff, it''s needle-like!"


    Jun Qiyan blanked out for a moment, then smiled. Her family''s Ninth Master had made up for it ¡­


    Meng Fan also nodded with a serious expression and said, "Your lover is right! "After looking at the dirt, it really will grow into a needle!"


    As expected, when Meng Fan and Di Mo Jiu finished speaking, Jun Yunge''s face turned completely pale. At this moment, he really wanted to faint.


    Jun Yunge had always been impure towards Di Mo Jiu, and no one would be able to accept being called a "dirty thing" by his beloved!


    Jun Qiyan only felt that it was extremely satisfying.


    Jun Yunge bit his lips and picked up the tattered clothes with a humiliating look on his face.


    Di Mo Jiu let go of Jun Yunxiao after he saw that he was fully dressed.


    Meng Fan couldn''t help but think of Jun Yunrue when he saw her expression. "Why are all of you behaving like this now ¡­?" They are simply shameless! "


    Meng Fan had never been out of the valley all year round, and had never seen or interacted with anyone outside the valley. He didn''t know the shame of saying those words, but he was sighing with emotion.


    This was simply blatantly humiliating her!


    Jun Qiyan couldn''t hold it in and burst out laughing.


    "Senior brother, this is your fault. How can you use a wheel?"


    These words were not bad, but Meng Fan''s accusation of ''humiliating'' was true to the point.


    Meng Fan curled his lips before continuing, "Junior Sister, you''re right."


    This was something intolerable!


    Since Jun Yunge had become the Holy Maiden of the Sword Spirit Sect, he had never received such a great humiliation. She angrily shouted, "Don''t go overboard!"


    Finishing his words, he looked fiercely at Jun Qianyan, "I said I don''t know shame? How much better can you be? "Four, three, four!"


    As he finished speaking, his long and narrow eyes began to size up Meng Fan.


    The meaning was obvious.


    Meng Fan''s face was red. Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by a crisp sound in the air.


    With a "pa" sound, Jun Qiyan''s hand fell down, and Jun Yunge''s small face inevitably turned red and swollen.


    Jun Yunge was obviously surprised for a moment. Perhaps he hadn''t expected that Jun Qiyan would actually beat him up in front of so many people.


    A moment later, a scream rang out.


    Bai Qiuhu narrowed his eyes. Originally, she didn''t want to interfere in this matter, but Jun Qiyan had beaten up his own people. That was slapping his face!


    "Do you all think I''m dead?


    The White Knot Tiger roared in anger and looked towards Jun Qiyan, as if it wanted to poke a hole through her.


    Jun Qiyan sneered. It was obvious that she was not afraid of the other party. She said, "Bai Qiuhu, I let you escape that day because you were lucky. Do you think you can escape today?"


    As the sound of Jun Qianyan''s voice faded, the face of the White Tiger turned pale.


    When Jun Yunge saw the situation unfolding before his eyes, he knew that something bad was going to happen.


    No matter what, Bai Qiuhu was still the great elder of the Sword Spirit Sect. There was no need to mention his strength; otherwise, she wouldn''t have given himself to this old man for so long!


    However, even though he said that, why did the white Qiu Hu reveal this sort of expression ¡­ A look of fear?


    ''Could it be that this Jun Qianyan has already ¡­ ''


    Jun Eversnow was shocked by his own thoughts. How was this possible! No matter how heaven-defying Jun Qianyan''s talent was, it was impossible for him to be stronger than Bai Qiuhu!


    As he thought about this, Jun Yunrue felt slightly more at ease. However, if this damned old man was afraid of Di Mo Jiu ¡­


    He couldn''t die here!


    If it was a one on one fight, Jun Qiyan might not be a match for Bai Qiuhu, but she could not tolerate Jun Qiyan''s arrogance.


    There were three divine beasts protecting them!


    Naturally, they were the ones that the white Qiu Hu was afraid of.


    Jun Qiyan did not have any thoughts of using external forces to defeat a martial artist.


    With a flash of white light, the Octadic Snake, Tao Tie, and Tao Wu, the three divine beasts, appeared before everyone. However, the scene seemed a bit strange ¡­


    The Taotie was currently hugging Zhu Wu''s thigh, while the Octadic Snake was behind the two beasts, using the posture of lifting a chicken to pinch the Taowu. With its other hand, it was attempting to free the 10,000 Year Lingzhi from the Taowu''s mouth.


    The three didn''t know when they had been summoned.


    The Taotie stood dumbly on the spot. In addition, Tao Wu felt that the medicinal plant in his hand was like a scorching mountain herb. It was impossible to lose something, but it was also impossible to not lose it.


    Jun Qiyan wished that he could cover his face and run away.


    What the heck ¡­ This was too embarrassing!


    Whose spirit recovery beast could cultivate him to be like this!


    The Octadic Snake was the first to react, throwing away the Taowu in his hand with a face full of matters that had nothing to do with me.


    Tao Wu and Tao Tie cried out in pain. They didn''t care about the pain in their rear, why did they get up?


    As for Tao Wu, he threw away the Myriad Spirit Zoysia in his hand. Unexpectedly, with a flash, the Taotie hid the Myriad Spirit Zoysia like a treasure.


    Jun Qiyan silently facepalmed. Did she lose all of his food?


    Although Jun Qiyan knew that this was the nature of a Taotie, he still felt that he couldn''t afford to lose this kind of face!


    He originally wanted to act cool ¡­ Take these minutes and slap his face!


    Jun Qiyan gnashed his teeth and said, "I''ll deal with you guys after this is over!"


    At the beginning, Bai Qiuhu only thought that Jun Qiyan had two divine beasts, but he never imagined that there would be three!


    Furthermore, the other one was a famous Taotie!


    Jun Yunge''s expression immediately changed.


    The face of the White Garment Tiger also began to turn extremely ugly.


    Jun Qiyan curled her lips, and an ominous premonition flashed through Jun Yunge''s heart when he saw her expression.


    "White Qiu Hu, it''s not impossible for me to spare your life ¡­"


    Jun Qiyan raised an eyebrow as she slowly looked at the two; there was a mocking expression on her face.


    The eyes of the white Qiu Hu brightened when he heard this.


    "Actually... The reason why I wanted to deal with the Sword Spirit Sect ¡­ "A big part of the reason is because of Jun Laige. I know that you had nothing to do with the Jun Family''s annihilation. If it wasn''t for her leading the way, you wouldn''t even know where the Jun Family is."


    Jun Qiyan''s words seemed to bewitch the hearts of people, and Bai Qianzhang could only nod in agreement.


    Jun Yunge''s face paled as he tried to save his life, "You b * tch! What are you doing?! "


    Jun Qianyan didn''t pay any attention to Jun Yunge''s shouts. He continued to speak, "As long as you hand him over, I won''t go against you. Both of us will suffer heavy losses ¡­" I don''t want to do this either! "


    Jun Qiyan said with a slight smile as she narrowed her eyes.


    When the white Qiu Hu heard this, he hesitated for a moment, but Jun Qianyan was not in a hurry to persuade him: "To be frank, I am here to clean up the sect. We absolutely do not allow traitors to appear in our Jun Family. She must die!"


    His words completely turned the color drained from Jun Yunge''s face.

 C283

    "Jun Yanran and Shen Shuyi have already been settled by me. I believe that the First Elder can decide for himself as he wishes!"


    As Jun Qianyan was speaking, he observed the expression on the face of the white Qiu Hu. The white Qiu Hu gritted his teeth and turned to Jun Yunge, "Bitch!" It''s all because of you that our Sword Spirit Sect has reached such a state! "


    Without saying anything further, the White Knot Tiger slapped Daolord Elegy''s face and glared at him.


    Although the White Tiger hadn''t said anything about giving Jun Yunge back, but his actions had made it clear what his position was.


    Right now, it could be said that the tiger had completely set its anger on Jun Yunge.


    If it wasn''t for this slut! How could he have ended up like this!


    He thought back to when he was the great elder of the Sword Spirit Sect! How many revered themselves for an existence above tens of thousands of people.


    But now ¡­


    The contrast between the two parties made Bai Qiu Hu''s heart clench in anger. In a moment of desperation, he kicked Jun Laige mercilessly, and almost kicked his internal organs out of place.


    Jun Yunge looked at Jun Qiyan with eyes filled with resentment.


    Jun Qiyan raised her eyebrows and almost laughed out loud. She clapped and said, "Great Elder is indeed a man of character. I like to talk with smart people!"


    Behind him, Meng Fan was in a daze. He had no idea what was going on. This tiger was obviously in cahoots with that Jun Laige ¡­ And they do such intimate things...


    But why were they acting like two enemies now?


    Jun Yunge looked at Jun Qianyan with eyes full of hatred, but didn''t say anything to explain to her. He knew that he was no match for Jun Qiyan, and even if he hated her to death, he couldn''t express it out loud.


    Otherwise, the only one who could suffer would be himself!


    Jun Qi took a step forward and looked at Jun Laige, who was sprawled on the ground, without a trace of emotion in her eyes.


    "Jun Laige, when you brought them to the Jun residence, did you ever think that there would be a day like this?"


    Jun Yunge bit his lips tightly. Although he was extremely regretful in his heart, he still did not want to be outdone and said: "You all say that I am ruthless. [To do this to your own mother. Jun Qianyan, what kind of righteous banner are you holding up?] What right do you have to stand here and say such things to me? "


    Jun Laige paused for a moment before he continued, "We''re just similar people!"


    Next to him, Di Mo Jiu picked up Jun Qiyan and softly said, "Don''t talk nonsense with such a person!"


    "I''ll take you to a good place after you take care of him."


    Di Mo Jiu said in a soft voice, and Jun Qiyan''s complexion looked a little better.


    She took out an ice arrow from her storage ring and expressionlessly told Jun Laige, "Are you going to take care of this yourself, or do you need his help?"


    That he was naturally the White Garment Tiger.


    While everyone was talking, Di Mo''s eyes narrowed.


    He quickly pulled Jun Qiyan into his embrace, and protected her with a protective barrier.


    Jun Qiyan only saw a white flash in front of her eyes, and then a strong gale sprang up. Sand and rocks flew everywhere, and the scene became blurred in everyone''s eyes, as a strong wave of spiritual energy gushed towards her.


    Jun Qianyan was startled. Jun Laige and Bai Qianzhang had already disappeared without a trace within the span of a few breaths.


    Jun Qiyan took in a deep breath, his expression somewhat unsightly.


    To be able to save a person from the Taotie, the three divine beasts of the Octadic Snake Sect, and a mission like Di Mo Jiu, he was definitely not an ordinary person. Not to mention the others, that person''s strength was definitely above his!


    Jun Qiyan''s expression was somewhat unsightly.


    "Ninth Master, can you sense the strength of that person just now?"


    Jun Yunrue''s face was stiff, and her heart was full of regret for not taking care of Jun Laige earlier. Now that Jun Laige had been rescued, many things could have happened to him if he hadn''t done so earlier!


    ''Was I too careless? ''Jun Qianyan denounced himself in her heart.'' Since the Sword Spirit Sect was established with the Divine Arts Pavilion, how could it be destroyed so easily? '' There were probably a lot of people waiting for him in the dark.


    Thinking up to this point, Jun Qiyan''s heart couldn''t help but sink.


    Di Mo Jiu''s complexion wasn''t very good either. She narrowed her eyes and looked towards the direction where Jun Laige and Bai Qiuhu had disappeared.


    "Ninth Master?"


    When Jun Qiyan realized that Di Mo Jiu was ignoring him, he lightly called out again.


    Di Mo Jiu finally came back to his senses. He gently smiled and rubbed Jun Qiyan''s head.


    "We can''t catch up to him. That person''s strength far surpasses yours."


    Di Mo Jiu didn''t say much, but it was enough to let Jun Qianyan''s heart sink to the bottom.


    I can''t catch them.


    Could that person be stronger than Jiu Zun?


    Di Mo Jiu had obviously seen through Jun Qianyan''s mind, he consoled him, "I''m not at my peak right now. Di Mo Jiu had obviously seen through Jun Qianyan''s mind, he comforted me," I''m not at my peak right now, including the Octadic Snake and Taotie.


    Ten percent?


    Jun Qianyan was somewhat surprised. Ten percent was enough to wipe out the entire Eastern Xuan Continent? Jun Qianyan didn''t dare to imagine just how powerful the people of the upper realms would be.


    "In the Upper Realm, as the name implies, a place where immortals live. After breaking through to the Jindan stage, one can start cultivating."


    Meng Fan slowly said.


    "In a place like the upper realms, there are many like dogs in the Aurous Core realm!"


    Even though Jun Qiyan knew what Meng Fan had said, he was currently being asked by someone else. Jun Qiyan''s heart sank a little.


    Even though her strength could be considered top-notch in the Eastern Xuan Continent, any member of the upper realm could easily kill her or the rest of the people of the Eastern Xuan Continent!


    He rubbed Jun Qiyan''s head and said, "Don''t worry about this. There is a barrier between the upper realm and the Eastern Profound Continent, and the people of the upper realm can''t easily descend. The people of the lower realm also haven''t been sent over."


    Di Mo Jiu paused, and then continued, "Even if there are people from the Upper Realm, his strength will be suppressed to the point of being suppressed.


    "Me too."


    Hearing Di Mo Jiu''s words, Jun Qiyan''s complexion slightly improved.


    She softly replied before gradually shifting her gaze to Tao Tie and the rest.


    "You guys, is there anything you want to explain?"


    Jun Qiyan said with a smile that did not reach his eyes.


    It was unknown if it was just an illusion of Tao Tie and the others, but why did they see the killing intent in this woman''s eyes!


    "I ¡­ I think I can explain it!"


    The Octadic Devil Snake Book was the first to speak. It was obvious that it wanted to shake the pot.


    "It''s all because the two of them tried to eat it!"


    The Octadic Snake hooted and said with a righteous look, "I couldn''t watch it any longer, stop them!"


    Tao Tie and Zhu Wu looked at the Octadic Great Snake with disdain, while Tao Wu''s reaction was even more intense: "What are you saying, long worm?! Can you at least show some face! "


    Long... Bug?


    Jun Qiyan blanked out for a moment, then almost laughed out loud. He hadn''t heard, right? Someone actually dared to call the Baji Snake ''Long Bug''?


    Sure enough, as soon as the words'' Tao Wu ''came out, the Octavo Snake immediately returned to its original form. It was about to fight with Tao Wu, and it even yelled: "Try saying another word?"


    The Octadic Snake had hit a nail. "You think you''re amazing just because you''ve eaten a dragon?!"


    Jun Qiyan: That''s great!


    While the Taotie was enjoying the show, Jun Qianyan slapped the Taotie on the head.


    Light Cai leapt out from within the Nuwa Stone as well, staring at the scene in front of her with an intrigued look on her face.

 C284

    This unknown "fight" ended when Di Mo Jiu carried the two of them away.


    Jun Qiyan laughed it off.


    Although he hadn''t finished dealing with the both of them yet, Jun Qiyan wasn''t depressed for long. She returned to White City the next day.


    As for White City, it was managed neatly by Feng Chen, Lang Lan, and Ji Bai Gu.


    Jun Qiyan expressed his satisfaction.


    Lin Hu and Lin Yun, the two siblings, had established a very high prestige in White City.


    Although White City was in the Howling Forest, its development was still very orderly. Merchants always paid the most attention to benefits, and since the Howling Forest was able to bring them great benefits, there was no reason for them to not join.


    Furthermore, the Howling Forest was no longer the same Howling Forest as before, and the magical beasts inside would not hurt anyone.


    There were even people who wanted to make the Howling Moonwood a tourist spot.


    However, this idea was quickly rejected by everyone.


    What a joke... The magical beasts in the Howling Forest don''t have any dignity!


    to be seen by a gorilla on the spot...


    Jun Qiyan couldn''t help but shudder.


    "Long time no see!"


    Seeing that Jun Qiyan was a bit agitated, Feng Chenlang took a step forward and wanted to give her a bear hug.


    However, when his eyes met someone''s eyes that were filled with killing intent, he completely gave up on this idea. He turned around and hugged Meng Fan, who was standing next to Jun Qianyan.


    "Well then, it doesn''t matter if you don''t want to join, since the boss has brought back a welcome!"


    Feng Chenlang said incoherently. He looked like the second fool from the next village.


    Jing Jubai, Ye Changsheng, and Gu Yao all turned their faces away.


    He was too stupid!


    Why did they know such people?


    Beijing, Jibai, and the others expressed their deep doubts.


    Meng Fan was shocked to the point that he didn''t know what to do with this sudden burst of enthusiasm.


    Jun Qiyan directly gave Feng Chenlang a slap.


    "Don''t scare him. Let me tell you, if you scare him away, you can compensate me with another tier 8 apothecary!"


    Jun Qiyan lowered her voice. Only she and Feng Chen Lang could hear her voice.


    A smile appeared on Jun Qiyan''s face. Those who didn''t know of this would think that the two of them were talking about something funny, but Di Jing, Ji Bai, and the others all knew that they absolutely could not look at the surface!


    From Feng Chen Lang''s pale face! He knew that Feng Chen Lang had threatened him!


    Feng Chen swallowed his saliva. What the f * ck ¡­


    His eldest brother had only been away for a few days?


    This is... He managed to hook up with a Tier 8 apothecary just like that?!


    What kind of monster was this?


    Is this the fantasy of this world?


    Are all apothecaries that easy to find? As expected of an apothecary, he is still an eighth rank apothecary!


    Feng Chenlang said that she could no longer look at Meng Fan directly and started to reflect deeply on what he had just done. Without a doubt, if he really scared Meng Fan away, then no matter how Jun Qiyan skinned him, she would not do anything against him!


    Jun Qianyan looked at Feng Chenlang''s eyes and then let go of him with satisfaction. He opened his mouth and lightly patted Feng Chenlang''s eyes as he said without any humanity in his tone, "We''re all on the same side. Meng Fan is my senior brother, so you don''t have to be too concerned about him."


    Jun Qianyan''s words could only be spoken to the crowd, but Feng Chen Lang was unable to continue listening.


    Boss, can you be a person?


    Meng Fan smiled bashfully and scratched his head. He had grown up and had never had so many people scolding him for it!


    "Hello everyone!" I... My name is Meng Fan!


    Meng Fan said somewhat nervously.


    When Feng Chenlang heard this, his eyes lit up. Without saying anything further, he placed his hand on Meng Fan''s shoulder and began to pull him closer. "Brother, I apologize for the offense just now. Please take care of me!"


    Meng Fan nodded, confused. "It''s fine. I like this place very much. You''re all very friendly."


    I like it here!


    There was hope!


    Feng Chen Lang continued to kidnap: "Brother, I''m older than you, and you''re younger than me. From now on, you can call me brother. I''m called Feng Chen Lang, you can just call me Brother Lang."


    The corner of Jun Qiyan''s mouth twitched as he listened to the conversation. Indeed, this was the turn of shamelessness. Feng Chen Lang was the best. It had only been a few minutes and he had already become brothers. He had indeed found the right person!


    Jun Qiyan secretly praised himself for being wise.


    "Brother Lang?"


    Meng Fan cautiously called out. Feng Chenlang''s face was full of smiles as he replied, "Come, come. I''ll show you our White City. Let me tell you, our place ¡­"


    Feng Chen Lang grabbed Meng Fan by the shoulder and pulled him along as he spoke.


    Only after the two of them left did Gu Yao and the others open their mouths to ask, "That Meng Fan ¡­. "Who is it?" Gu Yao curiously asked.


    Jun Qiyan narrowed her eyes and continued, "My senior brother is also the disciple of the Words Grandmaster."


    Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Was he also the disciple of Master Words?


    Who was the Master of Words? He must be famous all over the world for having a disciple, or he must be a peerless genius. He must be someone like Jun Qianyan, who could stir the entire continent.


    As for Meng Fan, his name was somewhat unknown. None of them had ever heard of him before.


    "Meng Fan has been adopted by Master Words since he was young and has never left the mountain. This is the first time she''s been out in the world. Master Words asked me to bring her out to the outside world so that he could gain some experience."


    Upon hearing Jun Qiyan''s explanation, everyone nodded their heads in understanding.


    "The words that the Master has asked you to bring out probably have more than just the meaning of training, right?"


    With a folding fan in hand, Beijing''s Ji Bai said with a smile.


    Everyone nodded in agreement.


    Jun Qiyan raised an eyebrow, but didn''t say anything.


    Meng Fan had been in the valley for more than twenty years, and had never set foot outside. In some ways, he was like a child. He could only tell who was being good to him and who was being bad to him.


    Meng Fan was like a puppy on the street. Whoever gave him something to eat, he would be loyal to that person.


    However, Meng Fan was much stronger than the little mutt on the street. He was a Grade Eight Alchemist. If there was a Grade Eight Alchemist overseeing Jun Qiyan''s current situation, it would be like adding wings to a tiger!


    The words of the Grandmaster clearly indicated that he wanted Jun Qiyan to subdue Meng Fan.


    Although these series of events all pointed in this direction, Jun Qiyan was still not sure.


    He didn''t have any family connections with Master Yuanyu. After all, he had been living in the valley for a long time. No matter what kind of fights he had outside, they had nothing to do with Master Yuanyu. No one would want to provoke an unfathomable alchemist.


    Jun Qiyan narrowed her eyes. Her logic told her that there was no reason for a master of speech to be so good to him.


    However, Meng Fan was an indisputable fact.


    Jun Qiyan scratched his head in frustration.


    "Don''t even think about it! Having Meng Fan as your master is the best thing that can happen." Di Mo Jiu rubbed Jun Qiyan''s head.


    Jun Qiyan''s taut face relaxed slightly.


    The three of them left the main hall in an interesting fashion.


    They did not have the hobby of eating dog food!


    Jun Qiyan rubbed Di Mo Jiu''s chest like a kitten.


    The expression on Di Mo Jiu''s face could not help but soften a bit.


    "Come, I''ll bring you somewhere!"


    Di Mo Jiu held the man in his arms tightly, causing Jun Qiyan to be slightly stunned. She did not expect that the Ninth Master would really want to take her out.


    Di Mo Jiu didn''t wait for Jun Qiyan to reject him, he had already arrived in a flash, bringing Jun Qiyan with him to a sea of flowers.


    Jun Qiyan looked at the sea of dark red flowers, and was slightly absent-minded. All she could see was a beautiful red.


    Jun Qiyan''s jaw dropped. He was moved. He turned to look at the people around him. "Are these all prepared for me?"


    The events of the past few days had left her breathless, and the matter of the White Garment Tiger had left her with an even greater shock.


    Jun Qiyan had been feeling regretful throughout the entire day. If he hadn''t been so careless, how could Bai Qiu Hu have had the chance to escape?


    Di Mo Jiu rubbed Jun Qiyan''s head and said, "This is my secret base. Sometimes, even when I''m in a bad mood, I would come here."


    Jun Qiyan was a bit old; he hadn''t expected that this Ninth Master would be in such a bad mood.


    This was a patch of Resurrection Lily.


    It was breathtakingly beautiful, and it felt unreal.


    Jun Qiyan had just plucked a flower, and was looking at Di Mo Jiu with a pair of eyes that were called ''flowers''. He then playfully placed the flower on Di Mo Jiu''s head. The gloom from the past few days was swept away, and his eyes were filled with joy.


    Di Mo Jiu''s face stiffened at first, but then he looked at the smiling faces of the people around him. His expression also relaxed a little bit, and he was a little amused. He touched the flowers on his head, gently looking at the girl in front of him. Her eyes were filled with a doting expression ¡­


    "It''s good to have you, Ninth Master." Jun Qiyan slowly rested his head on Di Mo Jiu''s shoulder. For the past few days, he had never felt as at ease as he had today.


    Di Mo Jiu gently patted Jun Qiyan''s shoulder.


    A figure that was of a height and a height formed an unusual scene in the sea of beautiful flowers. It was as beautiful as a painting.


    The next day, when Jun Qiyan woke up and saw Meng Fan, he yawned, stretched, and greeted him, "Senior Brother, good morning."


    Meng Fan nodded his head in a deadpan manner, and then began to execute his punches.


    ¡­


    Feng Chenlang couldn''t help but shudder when he saw Meng Fan. He then jogged over with a face full of evil intentions, "Fan Fan Fan! Did you sleep well last night? Was the morning snack to his appetite? "How are you thinking about the things I told you last night?"


    Feng Chenlang did not care about the consequences and directly said what he wanted to say in one breath.


    Jun Qiyan, who was drinking tea at the side, nearly spat all of the tea in his mouth. What the heck is this?


    Fan Fan?


    Jun Qiyan suppressed a smile on her face as she looked at the two people beside her out of the corner of her eyes.


    Meng Fan didn''t even bother to sit down. He replied slowly, "Brother Lang, everything is fine, but I still need to think about the things you mentioned yesterday. Master told me to go down the mountain to gain experience, but he didn''t tell me that I need it ¡­"


    Before Meng Fan could finish his words, he was interrupted by someone. "If you don''t say when you will return, then that means you can always return!"


    Feng Chen Lang sat down next to Meng Fan. "Look, like eating. If you don''t tell me what you want to eat, then it means that you can eat anything you want. Since Master Words didn''t tell me when you were going back, it also means that you were free to go back anytime!"

 C285

    The corner of Jun Qianyan''s mouth slightly twitched. He began to suspect that letting Feng Chen Lang go and convince Meng Fan was the right decision?


    "But ¡­" Meng Fan wanted to struggle, but Feng Chenlang had no intention of giving him the chance to do so.


    "But what? But let me tell you, the machine won''t come again! "


    Jun Qiyan suddenly felt that Feng Chenlang was now very much like a profession in society - marketing!


    People who didn''t know would think that they were in a distribution organization ¡­


    "Cough cough cough. Senior brother, don''t listen to his nonsense. If you are truly worried about what master is thinking, then ask him."


    If Meng Fan really didn''t want to be used by him, then there was nothing he could do.


    I can''t force him to stay in White City, can I? This was also not something that Jun Qiyan could do.


    Feng Chenlang glared at Jun Qiyan with a bit of hidden bitterness. His gaze was obviously blaming her.


    While Meng Fan wasn''t paying attention, Feng Chen Lang pulled Jun Qiyan aside and asked in a low voice, "What''s going on with you? It looked like she was about to agree ¡­ If Master Words were to let him return within 10 days and half a month, where would we go to cry? "


    That was a grade-8 apothecary! Did he think that he could easily find the cabbages on the street?


    Was this fellow trying to make a ruckus with his nonchalant attitude?


    Jun Qiyan couldn''t help but roll her eyes at Feng Chenlang, her attitude clearly indicating that she didn''t want to bother with him.


    "You''re really stupid when I say you''re stupid?!" Have you seen anyone practice? Ten days and a half? "


    When Jun Qianyan said this, Feng Chenlang showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.


    Jun Qianyan couldn''t help but mutter in his heart. His IQ was worrying, while his IQ was worrying ¡­


    Sure enough, after Meng Fan and the others finished their friendly conversation, a relaxed smile appeared on Meng Fan''s face.


    Feng Chen Lang excitedly walked over and asked with a smile: "How is it?"


    Meng Fan said, "My master told me to stay outside to gain some experience before returning. As for when I might return, he won''t ask."


    When Meng Fan said this, the smile on Feng Chenlang''s face became even more obvious. However, Jun Qiyan was not as happy as Feng Chenlang. Instead, her eyes darkened, causing people to be unable to guess what she was thinking about.


    Jun Qiyan didn''t want to be so simple. Meng Fan being willing to stay in White City was naturally a good thing, but she really couldn''t understand why Grandmaster Words wanted to do this. Meng Fan wouldn''t necessarily be of the greatest use to her.


    In addition, she could see the affection he held for Meng Fan in his eyes.


    He was Meng Fan''s Junior Sister, and as for Meng Fan''s Senior Brother, how could he possibly have a senior apprentice sister like his?


    Although he was rather well-known in the East Xuan Continent, there were plenty of people who were more capable than her. Jun Qianyan didn''t really dare to hope that her achievement would be noticed by Master Words.


    In any case, Meng Fan being here was a good thing.


    Jun Qiyan smiled as he looked at the two people before him, then said, "Senior Brother, welcome to White City."


    Meng Fan also smiled and nodded. Feng Chen Lang put his arm around Meng Fan''s shoulders and said, "Since we''ve come to White City, you''ll be one of us. From today onwards, Brother Lang will protect you.


    Feng Yunlang clenched his fists and looked as if he was about to go all out. Jun Qiyan found it somewhat funny.


    "Oh right, Fan Fan, you still haven''t told me where your current level is?"


    "I''m not as strong as you. Breaking through to the Xiantian realm right now, I''m still one step away from the Aurous Core stage."


    As the sound of his voice faded, a strange silence filled the air.


    Feng Chenlang said hoarsely, "You say that you''re about to break through to the Aurous Core stage?"


    Meng Fan still hadn''t noticed how shocking his words were. He nodded blankly and said, "That''s right, I haven''t even broken through to the Jindan Stage, and I''ve been stuck here for almost two years. Master has always called me stupid ¡­"


    He still felt a bit wronged after saying so.


    Feng Chen Lang: "¡­"


    Jun Qiyan: "¡­"


    If it wasn''t for the fact that he knew that his master was a master of speech and that he had stayed in the valley all year round without going out, Feng Chenlang swore that he would definitely beat this bastard to death!


    He was f * cking clearly putting on an act! If this was tolerable, then so be it!


    "Hur Hur Hur, then Master Words'' requirements are quite high."


    Feng Chenlang scratched his head a little awkwardly, not saying anything about protecting Meng Fan. This bastard was even stronger than him, so why the f * ck was he protecting Meng Fan?


    Jun Qiyan''s complexion also did not look good. She could not help but feel that her future days were incomparably dark.


    Meng Fan''s talent was definitely not any worse than his. Moreover, it could be seen that even though Meng Fan worked extremely hard, he was still called stupid by Master Words ¡­


    Jun Qiyan did not dare to imagine his future.


    Feng Chenlang felt even more hopeless, why did he feel that his status was about to be lost?!


    A Grade Eight Alchemist was an existence that was on the verge of breaking through to the Aurous Core stage ¡­


    His position would be replaced by someone else every minute!


    Furthermore, who said that apothecaries and cultivation are unable to go hand in hand?


    Coming out, he felt that if he didn''t beat them to death. He had originally thought that having Jun Feiyan would already be enough to go against the heaven''s will. Now that he had Meng Fan with him, how were they going to survive?


    Feng Chen Lang expressed that he could not accept this.


    Seeing that it was getting late, Jun Qiyan, Meng Chenlang, and the others arrived at the City Lord''s Mansion.


    Jun Qiyan sat at the head of the table, feeling extremely emotional.


    "I am not qualified to sit in this seat," Jun Qiyan said in a low voice as she looked at the people below.


    This sentence was not a polite one. It was what he wanted to say in his heart.


    He didn''t have any contribution to the White City, but Gu Yao and the rest had been taking care of it.


    Asked himself, Jun Qiyan felt that she was not qualified to sit in this position.


    On the other hand, Jing Ji Bai and the rest shook their heads. "First of all, the White City wouldn''t even exist without you."


    Gu Yao Jing, Ji Bai, Feng Chenlang, and the rest all nodded in agreement. If it wasn''t for Jun Qiyan''s victory, how could the Bai City still be in its current state?


    "Choosing us is also your choice."


    For some unknown reason, a hint of trust in his son flashed past Gu Yao''s face.


    Jun Qiyan pursed her lips, not noticing Gu Yao''s strangeness. She blinked, feeling somewhat moved in her heart, "To be able to meet you all, it''s not like I, Jun Qianyan, have wasted my time in this world!"


    Jun Qiyan said with a smile.


    The heavens had treated him well, allowing him to reincarnate, and even allowing him to encounter these people.


    Beijing, Ji Bai, took the folding fan in his hand and said with a smile, "Rather than sighing about all these, why don''t you take a good look at those account books of yours when you''re not here these past few days?"


    A trace of craftiness flashed across Jing Ji''s eyes, while Jun Qiyan''s expression faltered.


    Ji Bai''s face stiffened and he gave the order. Several maids brought in a few baskets of account books one by one.


    Ji Bai said with a smile, "The account books are all here, but there are a lot of places in White City that just started using money. They started to make money later on. I remember there are some details."


    Jun Qiyan looked at the account book beside him and instantly understood what was going on.


    What was to come would eventually come. The Heavenly Dao was a good reincarnation, who was spared by the heavens!


    "Um, I believe you ¡­"


    Just as Jun Qiyan was about to refuse, he was interrupted by Jing and Ji Bai.


    "City Lord, you can''t do this, you still have to see what you should see."


    The capital''s Ji Bai interrupted Jun Qiyan without a second thought.


    Feng Chenlang and the rest also started to agree, "That''s right. You are the City Lord after all. So no matter what, don''t you have a plan?"


    What a joke. After toiling for such a long time, they must at least let this fellow experience the pain that they had suffered in the past few days, no?


    As a result, they fought in unison. It was as if he was trying to force the court into a corner without even looking at us.


    Jun Qiyan sneered, gritted his teeth and said, "I''ve never seen you two so united!"


    Regardless of the joke, Jun Qiyan was still patient as she finished reading the account books.


    After dealing with the matters in White City, it was about time for him to make an appointment with Master Wordmaster. Jun Qiyan returned to the Eastern Kingdom first, preparing to bring the few of them to White City. After all, he did not want the matter of the Sword Spirit Sect to happen a second time.


    He could not bear the second blow either.


    "Grandfather, can I take you to White City?"


    Jun Qiyan squatted down and said with a gentle voice.


    Jun Mo Chen was sitting in a wheelchair, with a long scar across his handsome face that mercilessly destroyed his beauty.


    He lowered his head, pursed his lips without saying a word, and his fingertips trembled slightly.


    Jun Qiyan''s expression darkened as he looked at Jun Mo Chen.


    Jun Xuanfeng couldn''t help but let out a sigh as he looked at this scene, and then said: "Dye, you can go wherever you want to go. This old man doesn''t have any objections."


    Jun Xuanfeng heaved a sigh of relief.


    She stood up and looked at Jun Zhentian. Jun Zhentian did not make eye contact with Jun Qiyan, so perhaps it was because he felt guilty towards Jun Qianyan, but Jun Xuanfeng had yet to speak up.


    Jun Qiyan was somewhat startled. Unknowingly, time had flown by and Jun Zhentian had already turned white.


    Although Jun Zhentian had always been unkind to the original owner and Jun Qianyan had once blamed this man for his bias in her heart, nothing was important anymore. Since he had sincerely repented, Jun Qianyan had long been relieved of her grievances.


    "Father, the Jun Family, there is nothing to linger around here. Come with us to White City."


    Jun Qianyan slowly said as the corners of his mouth widened into a smile.


    Jun Zhentian was startled, he had not expected Jun Qiyan to say such words. His voice rose a little as he asked excitedly, "Dye, what did you just say?"


    Jun Zhentian''s voice trembled as if he wanted to grab onto Jun Qiyan''s shoulder, but after a moment of hesitation, he retracted his hand.


    Jun Qiyan found it somewhat amusing and continued patiently, "I said, why don''t you come with us to White City?"


    "It''s not that, it''s the previous sentence."


    Jun Qianyan was surprised for a moment, and then carefully asked in a probing tone, "Father?"


    Jun Zhentian was full of tears as he couldn''t remember how long he had been called his father for.


    However, when she thought of the bastard things she had done back then, she didn''t dare to ask Jun Qiyan to recognize her as a father.


    He was naturally happy that Jun Qiyan had taken the initiative to call him father.


    "Ai ¡­" "Hey, good child, what you say is what it is."


    Jun Zhentian cautiously asked.


    Jun Qiyan looked at Jun Zhentian, and sighed in his heart; he was fearless.


    If Jun Zhentian had treated "Jun Qiyan" well, even if he had only treated a tenth of the original owner''s current strength, the original owner would not have died such a miserable death.


    But humans were just like that. They would never be able to see the true face of those people without going through some things.


    "Big brother, why don''t we go to White City together?"


    Jun Qiyan was unwilling to accept this. She continued to try to communicate with Jun Mo Chen.


    Jun Mochen''s dull eyes slowly turned to look at Jun Qiyan, who was feeling anxious and anxious as he nervously looked at Jun Mo Chen.


    Jun Mo Chen looked at the person in front of him; he wanted to reach out and touch Jun Qiyan''s head, but his hands and feet had been cut off, and he was unable to do so.


    Jun Qiyan could not help but feel a sour taste in his nose as he felt the pain coming from Jun Mo Chen.

 C286

    "Alright, we''ll go wherever Dye says."


    After a long while, Jun Mo Chen said hoarsely.


    Jun Qiyan wrapped her arms around Jun Mo Chen''s waist as she softly murmured, "I''ll definitely heal you."


    Jun Mo Chen didn''t say anything, but his eyes were still unfocused. He didn''t have much of a reaction to Jun Qiyan''s words.


    After Jun Qiyan brought the few of them to White City, he first went to find Meng Fan.


    "Brother, this is my senior brother. He is also the disciple of Master Words. She is a Grade Eight Alchemist. She will definitely be able to cure you."


    Jun Qiyan introduced.


    Meng Fan was somewhat surprised as he looked at the person on the wheelchair. He opened his mouth, but no words came out.


    He could feel that the person in front of him didn''t have the slightest bit of spiritual energy, and both of his hands and feet had obviously been cut off.


    This... Just how much hatred did he have to be able to unleash such a vicious attack!


    Meng Fan looked at Jun Mo Chen''s condition, and Jun Qianyan asked somewhat anxiously, "Senior Brother, look at my brother''s condition ¡­"


    Meng Fan had always had a good temper. He had never been angry because of something, but now, a trace of spirit energy could be seen in his eyes.


    "Junior Sister, come out, I''ll tell you."


    Meng Fan glanced at Jun Mo Chen, then turned his head back to Jun Qianyan. Jun Qiyan''s heart couldn''t help but thump loudly, but he still nodded her head and followed Meng Fan out.


    "Senior brother, my brother ¡­"


    With some difficulty, Jun Qianyan opened her mouth and asked while biting her lips.


    Meng Fan sighed and said, "Her meridians have all been destroyed and her Jindan (Jindan) dug up. You should know her situation. At most, I can let her walk, but her cultivation ¡­"


    Meng Fan didn''t finish his sentence, but Jun Qiyan understood what he meant.


    Even if he could recover, Jun Mo Chen would only be a cripple in the future!


    How can this be ¡­


    Jun Qiyan found it hard to accept this reality. Jun Mo Chen''s talent was obviously high, and he had been proud for more than 20 years. How could he have become a trash?


    "Is there no other way? Where''s Master? "Can''t Master ¡­"


    Jun Qiyan''s eyes burned as her emotions stirred up.


    Meng Fan looked at Jun Qianyan''s anxious expression and said unwillingly, "Master has long since stopped concocting pills ¡­"


    Meng Fan said.


    Jun Qiyan blanked out for a moment, unable to believe her own ears.


    Master Words could no longer concoct pills?


    How is this possible?!


    Jun Qiyan couldn''t believe it and wasn''t willing to believe it.


    "Don''t tell anyone else about this. You are also Master''s disciple, so you will find out about this sooner or later. I''m telling you now because I want to prepare you mentally."


    "I don''t know why, but a few years ago, there was no trace of spiritual power in his body at all.


    Meng Fan looked around to make sure no one was around before finally daring to speak.


    No trace of spiritual energy in his body?


    Wouldn''t that mean ¡­ The same as a cripple?!


    Jun Qiyan couldn''t digest this news.


    Pill refining required spiritual energy to maintain a balance, and without spiritual energy in one''s body, there was no way to concoct pills.


    However, if even Master Yan Yin was unable to concoct pills, then who would be able to do so but Jun Mo Chen?


    Jun Qiyan clenched his fists tightly. His pretty face had a hint of confusion.


    "But Junior, although Master has no way of concocting pills, you can ask Master. He will definitely have a way to save your brother."


    Meng Fan consoled.


    However, Jun Qiyan''s expression did not change because of this.


    Remodeling the Jindan...


    That was even more difficult than reviving from the dead!


    It wasn''t that his dantian had shattered, but that someone had dug it out alive.


    To recreate a golden core, one had to be at least a Grade 9 or even a Grade 10 pill!


    Jun Qiyan took in a deep breath. He wasn''t affected by the attack; on the contrary, he was brimming with fighting spirit.


    "As long as there''s a sliver of hope, I won''t give up!"


    Seeing that Jun Qiyan had regained her composure, Meng Fan let out a sigh of relief.


    He smiled and nodded.


    After making all the necessary arrangements, Jun Qianyan decided to find Master Words as early as possible. If he went one day earlier, he would be able to learn the art of refining pills sooner rather than later!


    Jun Qiyan made up his mind to learn it in the shortest time possible.


    "Here it comes ¡­"


    The Words Grandmaster sat in meditation in midair. He was fine, but he knew who was coming.


    Jun Qiyan looked at the people in the air. If she didn''t know that the Words Grandmaster had lost all of his spiritual power ¡­


    "Master, your disciple came today to ask you something."


    Master Words slowly floated down from the sky, and when he looked at the person in front of him, he said slowly, "Oh? What do you want to know?


    Jun Qiyan pursed her lips and said, "I want to know how to reconstruct the Jindan."


    With that said, the master''s gaze clearly became more severe. Her gaze became deeper and her voice became colder, "A method to reconstruct the Jindan?"


    The Words Master narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Do you know that reconstructing the Jindan is a heaven-defying deed?"


    The destruction of the Mortal Earth Core was a gift from the heavens, so it was absolutely impossible for it to be reborn. However, Jun Qianyan wanted to reconstruct the core, which was clearly not allowed by the heavens.


    However, Jun Qiyan didn''t care about that at the moment.


    "Even if I have to go against the heavens, I want to give it a try!"


    Jun Qiyan''s gaze was firm, and his demeanor was one of unrelenting determination.


    The Master of Words looked at the person in front of him. His gaze was somewhat deep, and he did not speak for a long time.


    The person in front of her gradually merged with the person''s figure deep within her memories. Jun Qianyan didn''t speak for a long time, only staring at herself blankly. Her brows slightly knitted, and her mouth opened to speak, but was interrupted by the Master of Words.


    "I can teach you how to recreate a Jindan."


    The Master of Words cast a glance at the man before him.


    The light in Jun Qiyan''s eyes brightened. She didn''t dare to believe what she had just heard. She didn''t know why the Words Grandmaster gave up. But no matter what, as long as the Jindan was reconstituted, it would suffice.


    "The process of reconstructing the Jindan is not as simple as you think." The Words Grandmaster scrutinized Jun Qianyan''s expression as if he wanted to let him know the difficulties he was facing and then retreated. "Reconstructing a Jindan is only possible through a Grade Nine medicinal pill."


    Grade nine medicinal pill?


    Jun Qiyan''s heart tightened.


    Master Words continued, "In addition, this is a heaven-defying matter. The power of thunder tribulation is something you cannot withstand."


    The Wordmaster glanced at Jun Qiyan, his eyes filled with confusion.


    Jun Qiyan secretly clenched his fists. He did not give up just because of the words of a master of speech. On the contrary, he had become even more resolute.


    "No matter what, I must succeed."


    Jun Qiyan didn''t say that he wanted to give it a try, but to succeed. A simple sentence was enough to prove his determination.


    The Wordmaster squinted his eyes and suddenly laughed out loud, "Alright, you are my disciple alright."


    "You want to reconstruct the Jindan because of that kid from the Jun Family, right?" The Wordmaster said with a smile, his sharp eyes full of shrewdness.


    Jun Qiyan blanked out for a moment, then nodded.


    The Words Master''s lips curled up into an imperceptible smile. As expected of that person''s daughter.


    "Since you want to become a Grade Nine Alchemist, you have to work hard from today onwards. Don''t think that it is so easy to become a Grade Nine Alchemist. Your senior brother only became a Grade Eight Alchemist two years ago."


    The Master of Words narrowed his eyes, but there was a note of seriousness in his voice.


    Jun Qiyan nodded, secretly determined that she would break through as soon as possible.


    "Then Master, what should I do today?" Jun Qiyan asked.


    "Take care of those flowers and plants." The Wordmaster pursed his lips as he cried out, before flinging his sleeves and disappearing into the air.


    Jun Qiyan blanked out for a moment. Before she could react, she realized that the Words Grandmaster had long since disappeared from where he stood.


    Take care of the flowers?


    Jun Qiyan thought back to what his master had said before he left. Did he hear it right?


    He had originally thought that something would happen during the high-intensity demon training, but he didn''t expect that it would be taking care of flowers and plants.


    Jun Qiyan was somewhat speechless, but since the Words Grandmaster had said so, there was no reason for him not to do so.


    According to his memories, Jun Qiyan had arrived at the back of the mountain. As she looked at the flowers and plants on the ground that she could not name, she suddenly felt a headache coming on.


    It wasn''t because Jun Qiyan was inexperienced, but because most of the herbs here were not available in the outside world. Some of them were even herbs that no one had ever heard of before.


    However, these herbs were found in the Words Grandmaster''s possession.


    Jun Qiyan had a big headache. The herbs were all rather expensive and difficult to take care of. Moreover, he didn''t even know what these things were, which made it even more difficult to support them.


    Why did she feel like ¡­ Master Words had left a terrible mess for him ¡­?


    Jun Qiyan stood in the same spot for a long time before he finally understood what was going on. He had no choice but to accept the reality that he was about to bring along the herbs and bring them to the Master of Words.


    If it had been anyone else, they would''ve been at a loss for what to do. But who was Jun Qianyan? Nuwa Stone had been used to protect him, and he had used it to help him in every way possible.


    With a thought from Jun Qiyan, the ball appeared in front of you.


    Looking at the vast herb field, the ball rolled on the ground in excitement.


    Jun Qiyan picked up the ball, smiled maliciously, and said, "Balls, be good. Also, tell mother what these things are."


    Ball''s entire body went stiff, then pouted and looked at the herb in front of him, unable to stop himself from shouting, "Mother, Ball ¡­" Ball... "After living for so many years, I have long forgotten ¡­"


    Before he could finish his words, he felt a sharp gaze from behind staring at him with ill intentions. The words in his mouth quickly changed, "Mother, hehe, it''s just herbs, I know all the balls ¡­"


    As he finished speaking, he gave Jun Qi one by one the tokens, and also explained their functions along the way.

 C287

    Herbs recognition is a brain-racking job. The ball has lived for millions of years, and there are countless things in the brain.


    It would be difficult to move them around for the time being, but fortunately, Jun Qianyan had pretty much recognized all of them.


    Jun Qiyan belongs to the kind of heart that has photographic memory.


    Jun Qiyan''s group was progressing smoothly, but he was unaware of the fact that the Master of Words had been secretly observing her and the ball. His gaze was fixated on the sound of the ball, as well as the color of the Nuwa Stone on Jun Feiyan''s wrist.


    The word master''s pupils couldn''t help but tremble.


    It really was her ¡­


    Even though he knew that Jun Qiyan was the person he was looking for, the Words Grandmaster couldn''t help but feel somewhat agitated at this moment.


    Three months later, Jun Qiyan had tidied up the herbs in a neat and orderly manner, no longer being blind like before. Jun Qiyan felt that even if she were blind, she could still recognize the effects of the herbs.


    For the past three months, Master Words had never appeared. This gave Jun Qiyan a headache, and he probably didn''t just take her as his fake master. Not only had he not come to see her, he had no news of her at all.


    He didn''t even have a way to contact the Wordmaster.


    Today was the same as usual. Jun Qianyan rubbed her chin as she sat in the herb field, bored to death. She was secretly mumbling to herself in her heart about the Grandmaster Words.


    "In these three months, you have taken good care of all the herbs."


    Just as Jun Qiyan was lost in his thoughts, a familiar voice which he had been thinking about for the past three months rang in his ears. At first, Jun Qianyan was stunned, but then she was surprised.


    Jun Qiyan muttered in his heart.


    She had been driven crazy for the past few months. She had heard the words of the Words Grandmaster countless times, but in the end, she realized that it was all an illusion.


    Jun Qiyan glared fiercely at the Hallucination Grass by her side, then lowered her voice and threatened, "If you dare to create any more hallucinations for me, I''ll pull you up by the roots!"


    The leaves of the Hallucination Grass started to shrink. The herb had reached a certain level and was conscious to begin with. Even though the Hallucination Grass couldn''t understand Jun Qiyan''s words, it could sense the "believe it or not, I''ll smash your head" aura exuded from Jun Qiyan''s body.


    "Who are you trying to uproot?"


    Jun Qiyan blanked for a moment at that familiar voice, and then a pair of white embroidered shoes appeared in front of her. She couldn''t believe her own eyes.


    She rubbed her eyes for a while before she abruptly stood up.


    That familiar face entered the depths of Jun Qiyan''s eyes.


    Jun Qiyan opened his mouth, but after a long moment, he didn''t know what to say.


    "Every blade of grass and every tree in here is my treasure."


    Master Words said with a faint smile.


    Jun Qiyan blanked for a moment, then recalled the threat she had made against the Hallucination Grass. She didn''t know whether to laugh or cry.


    But then she felt a bit aggrieved. When had she, Jun Qiyan, ever listened to someone''s words in such a manner?


    "Um ¡­ I ¡­" I was just joking with it. Master, let me tell you, we have a good relationship! "


    Jun Qiyan glanced at the Hallucination Grass with a slightly threatening gaze, and then laughed with a face full of lackluster.


    If Feng Chenlang''s group saw this scene, they would definitely yell out: "Hey, can you be a little more careful? If the manpower setup crashes, do you know?! "


    There was a faint smile on the corner of the Master of Words'' mouth, but he didn''t expose her.


    That smile was peerless and magnificent, as if everything in the world had lost its color.


    Jun Qiyan was mesmerized by her beauty for half a minute. Then he snapped back to reality, blaming himself for not holding his ground and being able to control himself.


    It had been a long time since Jun Qiyan had become infatuated with Di Mo Jiu. However, when he saw the face of the Words Grandmaster, he became dispirited.


    "That''s right, that''s right. Master, I''ve been taking care of the herbs for so long. Look ¡­"


    Jun Qiyan quickly changed the topic. Firstly, it was to cover up the fact that she had been bullying the herbs. Secondly, she didn''t want to admit that she was addicted to beauties.


    The Master of Words looked around him with an almost imperceptible look of satisfaction in his eyes, but his words had a different meaning when he said them: "Just barely."


    "If you want to become a Tier 9 apothecary, you must understand the nature of the herbs here. Otherwise, why would you want to forge pills?"


    Jun Qianyan suddenly came to a realization after hearing the words of the Master of Words. She scratched her head in embarrassment.


    "Seeing how well you take care of the herbs, you must have understood their nature and uses."


    Jun Qiyan nodded. It was just a split-second, but everything in front of her was no longer the scene of a medicinal field.


    The two of them arrived at a room that was neither too big nor too small. There were a lot of shelves within the room, and on the shelves, there were even some herbs.


    "Master, this is ¡­"


    Jun Qiyan looked at the person in front of her with a bit of surprise.


    Master Words said, "This is the Pill Refining Room."


    With that, he took out a book from nowhere. "There are methods to concoct pills in this book."


    The Master Wordsman handed over the book in his hand to Jun Qiyan.


    "Take this and practice first." Jun Qiyan had a bad premonition when Master Yuanyu finished his words.


    Jun Qiyan opened her mouth, but just as she was about to say something, she realized that the Words Grandmaster had disappeared.


    Seeing this familiar scene, Jun Qiyan could not help but feel speechless.


    In his heart, he began to sympathize with his senior brother.


    What had her Senior Brother experienced in order to be able to stay here for over twenty years without going out?


    What kind of experience is it to have an unreliable master?


    Jun Qiyan took a deep breath and took out the Great Desolation Cauldron from the Nuwa Stone. Then, she opened the book in her hands and began to look through the various pill cultivation methods written within.


    In this short span of time, two months had passed and Jun Qiyan was able to refine quite a number of medicinal pills within the booklet.


    However, the higher the grade of the pills, the harder it would be for Jun Qiyan to refine them.


    Jun Qiyan held her breath, and once again tried out the Nine Reincarnation Soul Pill.


    ''Bang! ''a loud sound was heard.


    Jun Mo Xie wasn''t surprised at all; today was the ninth time that the cauldron had exploded in almost half a month.


    Jun Qianyan angrily threw the booklet in her hands onto the ground. Then, with an exploding head and a pitch-black face, she fiercely stared at the book beneath her feet. It was as if she had killed her father.


    Jun Qiyan couldn''t help but feel that this was the biggest blow he had ever received in his life.


    Jun Qiyan''s talent in alchemy could be described as outrageously high.


    In just two short years, he had already reached the level of a Tier 7 apothecary. The journey of pill refining could be said to have been smooth sailing. Cauldron explosion had never happened to him before.


    However, this was not the first time that Jun Qiyan had encountered such a setback.


    Jun Qiyan expressed that she could not stand the feeling of being wronged!


    Jun Qiyan took a deep breath as she looked at the cauldron before her and the inexhaustible supply of medicinal ingredients.


    He suddenly felt a headache.


    She secretly gritted her teeth and picked up the book. Looking at the words in the book, she compared them with her previous steps, but from start to finish, she didn''t know which part was the problem.


    The information in the book was clear enough, but Jun Qiyan had no idea what was wrong with it.


    She briefly tidied up the scene of the explosion and prepared to proceed with the next round of explosions.


    It was fortunate that the Primordial Cauldron was not destroyed by Jun Qianyan. Had it been any other cauldron, it would have been hard to count how many of them he would have carried out by now.


    "Did he suffer a blow?"


    The words of the Grandmaster did not come out of nowhere. Jun Qiyan patted her chest, and looked as if she had been frightened out of her wits.


    She looked at the Words Grandmaster with a bit of resentment, her eyes filled with hidden bitterness.


    When the Master of Words saw Jun Qiyan''s expression, he found it somewhat amusing.


    "Is it a cauldron explosion?" The Master of Words'' sensitive nose smelled the faint scent of gunpowder in the air, and then he asked.


    Jun Qiyan grunted through his nose, admitting it.


    "This is a blow... It will probably be a little difficult to reconstruct the golden elixir. "


    The words master touched his chin and said with some regret, "Why did you give up? It''s not too late to give up now ¡­"


    The Nine Reincarnation Soul Pill is a mid-Grade Eight Medicinal Pill. It took Jun Qiyan nearly half a year to reach the threshold of becoming a Grade Eight Alchemist. However, it will take some time before she can really refine a Grade Eight Alchemy.


    "I''m not giving up." When Jun Qianyan heard his words, his hair stood on end, and he denied them without a second thought.


    The Rhetoric Master smirked.


    "Is this how you act as a master?" Jun Qianyan couldn''t help but complain. What a joke. The number of times she had met this fellow in the past half year could be counted on one hand, let alone teaching her how to refine pills.


    The Wordmaster rubbed his nose and did not speak.


    "I''m here." Perhaps he felt that he was in the wrong, the words master was quite good-natured.


    Jun Qiyan coldly snorted, "Hmph."


    The Words Master cleared his throat and indicated for Jun Qiyan to practice it again so that he could see what the problem was.


    There had been a reason why the Master Words had left Jun Qi out of action for nearly half a year.


    His Master led him through the door, practicing his skills personally.


    He could do whatever he wanted with Jun Qiyan''s pill concocting method, but it would still be his.


    If Jun Qiyan succeeded in concocting a pill of his own, then he would be able to ascertain the nature of the plant, and that would be Jun Qiyan''s personal possessions.


    Regardless of the time, he would never forget it. Moreover, it would be a bad thing to make Jun Qiyan rely on him too much.


    According to Jun Qiyan''s memories, she placed all kinds of herbs into the furnace in order. The faint aroma filled the entire room, but Jun Qiyan didn''t dare to relax her guard. She was staring at the changes in the furnace.


    He held his breath and prepared to condense the pill.


    At the very last moment, the liquid within the furnace suddenly became restless, as if it were alive. Jun Qiyan screamed out in her heart that things were not going well, and was about to burst out of the furnace in the next moment.

 C288

    Just like that.


    The Master of Words swiftly solidified the liquid within the pill furnace.


    Jun Qianyan was in a daze, somewhat dazed by what had just happened.


    The Nine Reincarnation Soul Pill had already appeared in the hands of Master Words.


    Jun Qiyan blinked a few times. She finally picked up the pill in her hand after a long while. With a bit of shock, she asked, "How, how did you do that?"


    Master Words stroked his beard that didn''t exist and said, "When you forge pills, you are too impatient and eager to succeed. Do you know that this is the biggest taboo of alchemists?"


    Jun Qiyan somewhat embarrassedly stuck out her tongue after hearing the words of the Master of Words. However, she had no choice but to admit that this was indeed the case.


    Whenever the pill was about to be formed, Jun Qiyan would become restless.


    Seeing Jun Qianyan''s expression, the Master Words let out a sigh and continued, "I know that you are anxious to get what you want and quickly cure your brother, but you must know that asking for too much is not a good thing."


    Seeing the Master Words'' earnest expression, Jun Qianyan was suddenly at a loss as to what to say ¡­


    She pursed her lips, took a deep breath, and said nothing.


    A moment later, Jun Qiyan slowly breathed out a mouthful of impure air, and the look in her eyes became much clearer.


    She turned to Master Words and said slowly, "Master, I want to try again."


    The Master of Words raised his eyebrows, indicating that she should continue.


    He repeated this process countless times, until he reached the very last step. Jun Qiyan''s gaze turned sharp, but her aura was not the least bit disordered.


    Her expression changed and she quickly took out the pill at the moment it was about to explode.


    A hint of joy flashed across Jun Qiyan''s face as she looked at the King''s pill.


    With a smile on his face, the old man handed over the pill in his hand to the Words Grandmaster, who smiled as he looked at the pill in Jun Qianyan''s hand. There was also a faint smile on his face.


    "Once you know of the Nine Reincarnation Soul Pill, it shouldn''t be difficult for you to obtain a Grade Eight Spirit Pill."


    The Wordmaster said with a smile.


    Jun Qiyan pursed her lips, then looked warily at the Master of Words. She hurriedly said, "Are you planning to play missing again?


    Seeing Jun Qiyan''s nervous appearance, the Words Grandmaster found it somewhat funny to say, "If you were to meet with any difficulties, I would appear again."


    Even though she said that, Jun Qiyan still looked at him warily, as if he were a teacher and student.


    However, even though Jun Qiyan could stop Master Yuanyu from leaving, he still left Jun Qiyan''s field of vision mercilessly.


    Since she couldn''t change her fate of being abandoned, Jun Qiyan could only resign herself to her fate as she looked at the Nine Reincarnation Soul Pill in her hands.


    Looking at the pill in her hand, Jun Qiyan felt more or less at ease.


    The Nine Reincarnation Soul Pill was a medicinal pill that Qinghua needed to cure.


    When she thought about her agreement with Queen Medusa, Jun Qianyan hurriedly called out to her. As she looked at the Nine Reincarnation Soul Pill in front of her, she curiously flicked her tongue.


    He tilted his head as if he was soundlessly asking Jun Qianyan what this thing was.


    Jun Qiyan tilted his head as if trying to think of a way to explain the situation to her.


    The Octadic Snake and Taotie followed closely behind.


    The Octadic Snake was overjoyed as he looked at the item in Jun Qianyan''s hand.


    He hastily asked, "Is this the Nine Reincarnation Soul Pill?"


    Jun Qiyan nodded, then lowered her voice and said to the Octadic Snake, "Quickly think of a way to make her eat this thing."


    Jun Qiyan said as he held the pill in his hand.


    The Octadic Snake frowned and said unhappily, "Why should I be the one to be the villain?"


    Jun Qiyan gave a somewhat guilty laugh. She couldn''t lie to a child to eat medicine!


    "Cough cough master, what''s that thing in your hand?"


    Tao Tie stretched out his neck, and stared unsmoothly at the object in Jun Qiyan''s hand with his big round eyes.


    Taotie eats spiritual energy to satiate, and at the same time converts it into its own strength.


    Even though the pill in Jun Qiyan''s hand was a little smaller, it was extremely tempting for a Taotie.


    Smells so good ¡­ I really want to eat it!


    Jun Qiyan looked at Tao Tie with a face full of vigilance. As the owner, he was very clear about this fellow''s personality.


    The Octadic Snake unceremoniously moved the Taotie to the side and said in a half-threatening manner: "If you dare touch her, I''ll cut off half your rations!"


    When the Taotie heard that, its small, meaty face immediately turned pale. It looked as if it was about to cry.


    For the Taotie, losing its food was worse than killing it.


    Jun Qiyan didn''t know whether to laugh or cry as he looked at the two people in front of him.


    Hearing these people''s argument, Qinghua couldn''t help but think that this Nine Reincarnation Soul Pill was some kind of good stuff.


    He swallowed it without a word.


    Jun Qiyan: "¡­"


    The Octadic Snake: "¡­"


    Okay, so this is what you mean by "get it" without any effort at all?


    After Qinghua swallowed the Nine Reincarnation Soul Pill, her originally rosy face gradually turned pale white.


    In the end, he still let out intermittent wails and screams. The face of the Octavo Snake instantly became extremely ugly. With a questioning tone, he shouted at Jun Qiyan, "What the hell is going on?"


    Jun Qiyan was also somewhat stupefied by the situation in front of him.


    There shouldn''t be a problem with the pill, after all, Master Yuyin was the one who watched the pill being completed.


    Seeing that Jun Qiyan was silent, he took a big stride and hugged the panic on his face without concealing it at all.


    Jun Qiyan looked at the scene in front of him in a daze, as if something was amiss ¡­?


    As Jun Qiyan looked at the two snakes in front of him, she couldn''t help but feel that this scene was extremely strange.


    Caiqing''s pale face did not last long as her twitching body calmed down.


    Following which, a murderous look gradually appeared on the face of the Baji Snake.


    He looked at Jun Qianyan with eyes filled with killing intent, "Xiaoqing ¡­ There''s no more life energy. "


    The Baji Snake had only revealed such an expression when he first met Jun Qiyan. He was usually a carefree person, and although he wasn''t very respectful to Jun Qiyan, he was absolutely loyal to her and had never revealed such a murderous intent.


    To the side, the Tao Tie looked at the appearance of the Octadic Snake, and the wronged expression on its meaty face gradually disappeared.


    He, who had been maintaining his infant form, now looked like an adult, his wild and unrestrained face showing traces of vigilance.


    "Calm down!"


    Right now, the Octadic Snake couldn''t listen to what others had to say. He kept staring at Jun Qiyan, wishing that he could poke a hole through her.


    Seeing that the Baji Snake was about to take action, Jun Qiyan also took up a position behind his back.


    He did not have much feelings for Jun Qiyan, but once Jun Qianyan died, both she and Tao Tie would be devoured by the power of the contract.


    As for the Baji Snake, it would kill its master in body and spirit!


    "She''s the one who killed Xiaoqing!" The Octadic Snake roared angrily with its eyes red.


    Everyone pursed their lips and didn''t say anything.


    Tao Tie said: "That was Caiqing who took it, there''s a problem with the pill ¡­ "It''s not something that we can predict."


    Da Da also changed her previous appearance. With an evil smile, she said, "She, my man, why is Baji here? Do you want to fight?"


    The moment the word ''fight'' was uttered, the air suddenly became tense.


    Jun Qiyan knitted her delicate eyebrows as she pushed the two people in front of her away. Then, she strode towards Xiaoqing.


    "What do you want?"


    The Octadic Snake''s eyes were red as he questioned.


    Jun Qianyan''s sharp gaze swept across the face of the Octadic Snake, and her voice sounded as if it had been frozen for ten thousand years. She could understand the Octadic Snake''s feelings, but she couldn''t accept the fact that the snake was trying to kill her.


    "Get out of the way! If you don''t want him to die, then scram!"


    The moment Jun Qiyan said this, a hint of hesitation flashed across the face of the Octavo Snake. After thinking for a while, he still stepped aside to allow Jun Qiyan to walk past.


    Jun Qiyan carefully caught Caiqing''s hand, and furrowed his brows.


    While Jun Qiyan was rummaging for the pill ¡­


    A golden light suddenly appeared on Caiqing''s body. That golden light gradually wrapped around Caiqing.


    Everyone looked at the scene in front of them with dumbstruck expressions.


    The Octadic Snake was so shocked that he didn''t know what to say.


    As the golden light faded away, the little snake had long since ceased to exist. Instead, it was the young woman who was lying in Jun Qiyan''s arms.


    The Octadic Snake opened its mouth and only reacted after a long time.


    The Taotie crossed her arms as if nothing had happened and said, "Tsk tsk tsk tsk, we''ve been evolving for such a long time."


    "Some people are just making a fuss."


    The Octadic Snake''s face was flushed red, but it didn''t say anything as it quickly walked over, wanting to take Xiaoqing over.


    Unexpectedly, Xiaoqing tightly wrapped her arms around Jun Qiyan''s neck, refusing to let go no matter what.


    With a soft voice, he called out, "Dyeing my mother ~"


    This voice caused Jun Qiyan to shiver involuntarily. It was not that she didn''t know how much attention she attached to Xiao Qing. If Medusa knew about this, she would have taken away her beloved girl ¡­


    Jun Qiyan laughed dryly, but could not help but agree. This girl ¡­ How can you be so cute!


    Xiaoqing had evolved to become an adult, and was only eight or nine years old. In front of Jun Feiyan, she was like a little sister next door.


    Seeing that the evolved adult Xiao Qing didn''t want to get close to him, the face of the Octadic Snake immediately became unsightly.


    Her eyes were also fixed on Jun Qiyan. That look ¡­" It was like Jun Qiyan had shot his wife!


    Jun Qiyan narrowed her eyes. If she hadn''t known what kind of thoughts this scoundrel, the Octane Snake, was harboring towards Xiaoqing, she would have already known it very well.


    "Fu Chen, you sure have some humanity in you!"


    Jun Qiyan''s eyes were spitting fire from anger. This bastard was actually targeting Xiaoqing?!


    Strictly speaking, Xiaoqing was the child of his colleague, this bastard ¡­


    Jun Qiyan had decided that since Xiaoqing was going to call her mother, then she definitely wouldn''t let that scoundrel''s decision go!


    The face of the Octadic Snake turned unsightly from Jun Qiyan''s lecture. He said in a low voice, "I''m not even human ¡­"


    Jun Qiyan: "?"


    He knew his wrongs, but he didn''t want to change it. Fine, he wanted to see if he could touch Little Green''s single finger with her here!


    At this time, the way Jun Qiyan looked at the Octadic Snake was exactly like a strange uncle looking at a child molesting them.


    In fact, the lifespan of a magical beast was extremely long. Even the Bodhisattva could only be considered young, not to mention that a divine beast''s appearance could be maintained at a certain level.


    However, Jun Qiyan was still unable to accept this, not to mention that Xiaoqing was still a child!


    The Baji Snake was a bit angry, this woman was simply ¡­

 C289

    Jun Qiyan softly asked as she held the person in her arms, "Xiaoqing, is there anything wrong with you?"


    Xiaoqing shook her head and hugged Jun Qiyan even tighter. She even said to her grandmother, "Xiaoqing''s mouth likes to dye mother to death!"


    Hearing Xiaoqing''s words, Jun Qiyan curled her lips in a pleasant smile.


    She looked at the jealousy in the eyes of the Octadic Snake, then looked at Xiaoqing, saying, "Xiaoqing, Dyeing mother told you that there are many bad people in this world. They always want to take advantage of you ¡­"


    As Jun Qiyan spoke, he looked at the Octane Blast Snake as if there was a hidden meaning within his words.


    The Snake Dowager was so angry that her roots of teeth began to itch, but she didn''t dare to take Xiaoqing''s anger lightly.


    "Mother, what do you mean by taking advantage of me?"


    Looking at Xiaoqing''s innocent face, Jun Qianyan didn''t know what to say. She was conflicted for a moment before she said, "Even if men and women aren''t intimate with each other, Xiaoqing can''t get too close to the boy. Even the Octadic Snake can''t."


    Jun Qiyan smiled as he spoke, the three words'' Octadic Snake ''were emphasized in his heart.


    The Octadic Snake looked at the crafty smile on someone''s face. He was filled with anger, but he didn''t know where to vent it out.


    Jun Qiyan didn''t care about what the Baji Snake was feeling at the moment. She gently caressed Xiaoqing''s head.


    In fact, if something really happened to Xiaoqing, not only Medusa, but even Jun Qiyan herself wouldn''t be able to forgive her.


    Jun Qiyan and Xiaoqing had been together for such a long time that they had long since treated Xiaoqing as a family. If Xiaoqing was going to do something because of him, then even if Jun Qiyan died, she wouldn''t forgive herself.


    Jun Qianyan gently sighed as she held the small person in her arms. Seeing how much Xiaoqing relied on her, Jun Qianyan suddenly felt mixed emotions in her heart. It wasn''t that she was unhappy, but rather, the change in Xiaoqing had left Jun Qianyan with mixed feelings.


    Although Xiaoqing had also liked him before, she wasn''t as intimate as she was now. Seeing Xiaoqing''s attitude, Jun Qianyan didn''t want to let go even at the cost of her life, she couldn''t help but not know whether to laugh or cry.


    She gently patted Xiaoqing''s back and softly said, "Xiaoqing, can you let go of this to dye mother?"


    When Xiaoqing heard this, she became unhappy and hugged Jun Qianyan''s shoulders even more tightly. She couldn''t help but start sobbing uncontrollably.


    "Mother ¡­" Mother doesn''t like Xiaoqing anymore? "


    As Qinghua spoke, she began to whimper.


    Xiaoqing''s crying didn''t matter, but it made the hearts of everyone in the room break.


    The Octadic Snake looked like it was about to explode. "Damn woman, what''s wrong with Xiaoqing hugging you?!"


    Hearing the slightly sour words, Jun Qiyan raised her eyebrows as the expression in her eyes darkened.


    When Xiaoqing saw that Jun Qiyan''s aura was off, she gradually stopped sobbing. However, she still couldn''t help but shed tears the size of beans.


    It seemed like he didn''t need money.


    Jun Qiyan hurriedly wiped away the tears on Xiaoqing''s face and said tenderly, "How could mother not like Xiaoqing?"


    As soon as Jun Qianyan said this, the tears on Xiaoqing''s face stopped. She glared at her mother with her big, watery eyes, "Is what mother said true? However ¡­ But mother didn''t even let Little Qing hug you. "


    He started to sob.


    Seeing this, Jun Qiyan hurriedly said, "Xiaoqing, it''s not that mother doesn''t want Xiaoqing to hug her, it''s just that she doesn''t like her.


    Jun Qiyan patiently explained.


    Xiaoqing blinked her large eyes, waiting for Jun Qiyan''s next words.


    Jun Qiyan sighed and continued, "Xiaoqing has grown up. She''s no longer a child, is she?"


    Xiaoqing opened her eyes wide. Although she didn''t hear the meaning behind Jun Feiyan''s words, she still nodded her head.


    Seeing Xiaoqing''s confused expression, Jun Qianyan continued, "Xiaoqing can walk by herself, so she shouldn''t be allowed to be carried by mother. Xiaoqing, do you want to know on your own?"


    Xiaoqing looked at Jun Qiyan. Although she felt wronged that she couldn''t hug her mother, and didn''t understand what her mother meant by ''independent'', Xiaoqing understood that her mother didn''t like her holding him.


    Mother can''t do things that she doesn''t like.


    Xiao Qing slowly loosened her grip on Jun Qiyan''s neck as she thought of this.


    However, his large eyes were once again filled with moisture.


    When Jun Qiyan saw Cai Qing''s expression, she couldn''t help but let out a sigh.


    The Octadic Snake couldn''t bear to continue watching. He wanted to argue with Jun Qianyan, but was rendered speechless by the sharp gaze of Jun Qianyan.


    This woman ¡­ Wasn''t it because of the contract, that he didn''t dare to do anything to her!


    After that, Xiaoqing was coaxed and deceived by Jun Qianyan, and finally returned to the Nuwa Stone. Jun Qiyan, on the other hand, continued to refine the Nine Reincarnation Soul Pill several times while it was still hot.


    The following days were relatively safe. In addition to concocting pills, Jun Qiyan had to coax her child and receive a certain someone''s piercing gaze.


    In a flash, another half a year had passed. In the blink of an eye, Jun Qianyan had already been here for over a year.


    After finishing the last batch of pills today, Jun Qiyan had already become a Grade Nine Alchemist.


    Due to the long period of settling down, Jun Qiyan now had a temperament that no one else had.


    It was neither arrogant nor impetuous, and made one feel comfortable.


    Jun Qiyan kept the pill and prepared to find Master Words.


    Since Master Words had disappeared more than once, Jun Qiyan only knew where Master Words was usually found.


    Initially, Jun Qiyan had only thought that this was a relatively hidden valley. But after staying here for a long time, Jun Qiyan discovered that this wasn''t a valley at all, but rather the Divine Sea of a Words Grandmaster.


    When Jun Qianyan first received this knowledge, he was quite surprised. One must know that only after a cultivator broke through to the Aurous Core stage would they have a shrewd mind. Moreover, they would only appear after a person had died.


    As for Master Words, they were quite impressive.


    Not only could he live here, he could also grow grass. This was practically omnipotent. Jun Qianyan felt that if she was ever chased down by her enemies and had nowhere to go, she could come here to visit her grandmaster.


    The heck, this place is simply invincible!


    With these thoughts in mind, Jun Qiyan arrived at the Words Grandmaster''s study.


    "Knock."


    Jun Qiyan knocked on the door. "Master."


    Jun Qiyan paused for a moment. There was no response from the room.


    Jun Qiyan frowned and made a few more symbolic sounds, but still didn''t receive a reply.


    Jun Qiyan couldn''t help but frown. She pushed the door open and entered, but the room was empty.


    This was the first time that Jun Qiyan had ever been to the study of a speech master. Before this, whenever Jun Qiyan knocked on the door, someone would knock. This time, however, the word master had gone somewhere else.


    Looking around, Jun Qiyan''s gaze was attracted by a vase on the bookshelf. It was a blue and white porcelain vase. It was very pretty.


    She didn''t know why, but she took a step forward and gently touched the vase.


    With a creaking sound, the bookshelf moved forward a bit.


    Jun Qiyan looked at everything in front of her with a slightly stupefied expression.


    F * ck, she was just touching the vase, how did she trigger the trap?!


    Do you have to be so unlucky?


    Jun Qiyan''s eyes were filled with disbelief. Logically speaking, she should''ve just shut the door and pretended that nothing had happened. But Jun Qiyan raised her head and was shocked by the scene inside the room.


    Jun Qiyan''s expression was somewhat unsightly. Her pupils suddenly trembled as she looked at the portrait in front of her with disbelief.


    Above it was a female, her smile peerless and graceful.


    That face, however, gave you a sense of familiarity with the plot.


    That face was none other than his own.


    Jun Qiyan held her breath as she stared intently at the portrait on the wall.


    That woman''s face was actually ninety percent similar to his own.


    The only difference was that the woman had a lifelike peach flower on her forehead.


    It was because of this peach flower that the woman was so charming.


    Jun Qiyan stared at the portrait on the wall, and for some reason, his face became moist.


    Jun Qianyan touched his face in disbelief, he was actually crying ¡­?


    This realization caused Jun Qiyan to be unable to accept it for a moment. Her expression was somewhat complicated, and a peculiar emotion was about to burst out from her chest.


    Her instincts told her that she definitely had a deep relationship with that woman on the wall ¡­


    Jun Qiyan took a deep breath, looked deeply at the woman on the wall, then lifted her leg to leave the room.


    However, the Words Grandmaster had appeared at the door without anyone noticing. He was staring at Jun Qiyan with a complicated expression, and she felt suffocated.


    She pursed her lips, took a step forward and asked word by word, "Who is that person on the wall? Who are you? Who am I? " One question after another was mercilessly thrown at the Words Grandmaster.


    Jun Qiyan looked at him as if he were a stranger.


    This was the first time that Jun Qianyan had doubted his own identity. She absentmindedly thought of the words that Jun Xuanfeng had said before. Could it be that the woman on the wall was his cheap mother?


    This idea was undoubtedly bold. Even Jun Qiyan found it hard to accept it in such a short time. Countless questions were about to rush out of her mind.


    He opened his mouth, but did not know where to start.


    Jun Qiyan was staring at the person in front of him, waiting for his reply.


    The air was silent for a few minutes, but he couldn''t help saying, "It''s just like what you saw on the painting, it was your mother ¡­"


    When these words left his mouth, Jun Qianyan felt a thunderous sound explode inside his head. Although he had already had such a bold idea in mind, he was still unable to accept it now that it was proven right in front of his eyes.


    Countless questions swirled in his mind. Since this was his mother, why didn''t he want her then? Why did you tell him to abandon her?


    Jun Qiyan tightly clenched his fists as his eyes reddened. How laughable. He had called her his mother for more than 10 years, but she had not given birth to him.


    No wonder Shen Shuyi treated him like that.


    Jun Qiyan took a step back, and the look in his eyes gradually became unfamiliar.


    "You lured me here on purpose."


    These words were not a question, but a confirmation.

 C290

    Everything was so coincidental. First, the Words Grandmaster wasn''t in the room, and then there was that beautiful blue porcelain bottle. The portrait was coincidentally hanging opposite the door to ensure that she could see it.


    Jun Qiyan''s eyes turned cold. She had already decided not to pursue the matter of her past. No matter who gave birth to her, it didn''t matter anymore. She had a grandfather and brother who loved her.


    Something like mother ¡­ It''s fine if you don''t want it.


    However, just as he was about to give up, these people gave him another piece of news.


    Jun Qiyan felt a bit sarcastic.


    Jun Qiyan''s gaze was frigidly cold as he waited for the words of his master.


    He sighed and slowly said, "It''s not that your mother doesn''t want you, but it''s because she loves you more than anyone else in the world. And your father ¡­"


    Jun Qiyan''s face relaxed a little after hearing the words of the Grandmaster.


    "But he brought me to just this one place."


    Jun Qiyan pursed her pale lips, not very satisfied with the words of the words of the Master.


    "You don''t actually belong to the Eastern Xuan Continent, your identity is incomparably noble. It''s just that something happened between your mother and father, and your mother risked her life to give you to me, so that I could properly hide you and let you live a peaceful life. Who would have known that ¡­"


    At this point, Jun Qiyan always felt that everything that had happened to her made sense.


    No wonder he was a trash before. After Di Mo Jiu removed the seal on him, he became an absolute genius.


    No wonder his appearance ¡­


    "Can you tell me what happened to that person ¡­" Jun Qiyan was silent for a moment, before he finally asked with some difficulty.


    She didn''t say ''mother''. Even though she had already said this much, Jun Qiyan hadn''t let go of the estrangement that she had felt over the years.


    She sighed. "That was your mother ¡­"


    The Grandmaster wanted to persuade him further, but when his gaze came across the stubborn look in Jun Qianyan''s eyes, he swallowed back his difficult words.


    "I have no way of revealing anything to you, but since you''ve already removed the seal, your future growth will certainly shock everyone."


    "One more thing. The person standing in front of you is not my real body, but a tiny clone of me. You should also know that it is impossible for me to come to the Eastern Xuan Continent with my own strength."


    "Because it''s a clone, the frequency of this subdivision of the body has become increasingly weaker. This is also the reason why I am unable to refine pills. According to the current situation, I might completely disappear from this continent in less than a year''s time."


    Even though Jun Qiyan was furious over the words of the Words Grandmaster, he had sincerely thanked the Grandmaster from the bottom of his heart over the past year. If he had not been there, he would not have grown so fast.


    "All I can do now is try my best to teach you everything I know before I disappear."


    "Your talent is not inferior to your mother''s at all. This is because the spiritual energy on this continent is too sparse. Your talent has yet to be fully utilized."


    Jun Qiyan silently listened.


    The Master Wordsman gently patted Jun Qiyan''s head.


    The girl''s body stiffened slightly, but she did not move away.


    "Master, the reason I came to look for you was to repeat the truth about the Jindan." Jun Qianyan didn''t want to continue discussing this heavy topic. He didn''t know why, but he couldn''t stop the discomfort in his heart when he thought of how the Words Grandmaster would leave this continent forever.


    The Words Master smiled and said, "You don''t have to worry about reconstructing the Jindan. I''ve already dealt with it for you. As for me leaving this continent forever, you don''t have to worry, because we will meet again one day."


    Jun Qiyan could not help but furrow her brows upon hearing the words of the Grandmaster.


    The Words Grandmaster handed over the medicinal pellets that he had prepared beforehand to Jun Qianyan, who looked at the medicinal pellets in her hands with a bit of shock.


    He did not forget how resolute he felt when he first mentioned that he wanted to concoct the pill.


    But now that he was ready for her ¡­


    For a moment, Jun Qiyan felt extremely touched.


    "Master, why are you ¡­" Jun Qiyan''s nose was slightly sore.


    The Words Master smiled and said, "Since you have addressed me as Master, I naturally have to express my feelings. This is just a gift from me."


    There was no need for words to say that reconstructing an Aurous Core was a heaven-defying act. One would need to go through 99 bolts of heavenly lightning before being able to succeed.


    If he couldn''t handle it, he would be destroyed.


    Jun Qiyan''s small body would probably be burnt to ashes by the first bolt of lightning.


    "Tomorrow, you should leave the mountain. A lot of things have happened this year, so it''s time for you to go out and have a good look. I will be waiting for you in the Upper Realm."


    Even though the master''s voice was drifting further and further away, the silhouette that was originally standing in the room gradually disappeared.


    Jun Qiyan was no longer the same as before. He would never see a figure of a man speaking again on this continent.


    Jun Qiyan sighed, packed his things and prepared to leave on the second day.


    Early in the morning on the second day, as Jun Qiyan was leaving, her heart was filled with reluctance, but he knew that there were more important things waiting for her outside.


    She could not be greedy for this moment''s gentleness.


    Thinking of this, Jun Qiyan resolutely left the place.


    After leaving the secret realm, for some unknown reason, Jun Qianyan''s heart suddenly twitched a few times, and an unexplainable unease arose in her heart.


    She frowned slightly as she suppressed the unease in her heart and quickly returned to White City.


    She didn''t know why Jun Qi had always felt that if she was a little bit slower, she would never be able to see the people she wanted to see again.


    White City.


    The flames from the beacons were reduced to smoke as countless monsters stood outside the city walls, causing everyone to be alarmed upon seeing them.


    The people within the city walls were in a defensive formation, each one of them with a determined look on their faces to die.


    However, there was no trace of fear on their faces.

 C291

    "Soldiers!" The sword spirit sect''s cultivation is not restricted in the Eastern Xuan Continent, and they treat human life as grass. Since the City Lord is not here today to attack the city, I, White City, would rather die in battle than to flee! "


    The voice of Beijing and Beijing, Ji Bai, sounded throughout White City.


    "But now, if someone wants to live, I won''t stop them."


    Jing Jubai paused as he looked around at the soldiers who were waiting in anticipation with a dignified look in his eyes.


    Anger was written all over their faces, but it was accompanied by a sense of recklessness.


    No one stood up.


    A gratified smile appeared on the faces of the few people present. Actually, if someone really wanted to leave, they wouldn''t really stop them. Everyone had their own choices, they didn''t have the qualifications to make everyone work for White City.


    Feng Chenlang looked at the solemn face of Meng Fan and suddenly felt a bit regretful. He patted Meng Fan on the shoulder and said, "Fan Fan, I''ll get a few people to escort you out the back door."


    Meng Fan was stunned. His pretty, sword-like eyebrows immediately frowned. He said with some dissatisfaction, "Brother Lang, what is the meaning of this?"


    Meng Fan stared at Feng Chen Lang as he asked.


    Feng Chenlang blinked his eyes and looked at Meng Fan with an additional trace of reluctance. If they were to part this time around, he might not be able to see him again in the future ¡­


    "Meng Fan, listen to me. You''re not from White City. You''re a guest of White City. You have no obligation to live and die with White City. White City ¡­"


    Feng Chenlang''s voice was a little choked up and his voice paused. In the end, he did not say the word "death".


    "Your talent is something that no one can compare to. Back then, it was my own selfish desire to keep you in White City. But now, I cannot let you stay here."


    Meng Fan stared fixedly at Feng Chenlang''s face as he said somewhat angrily, "You want me to become a deserter? Since I''ve already decided to join White City, how can I possibly survive alone?" will be ¡­


    Meng Fan shook off Feng Chen Lang''s hand and said to the alchemists and soldiers behind him, "I will live and die with White City!"


    As these words came out of his mouth, an earth-shattering roar sounded out, "I am going to live and die with White City!"


    When the soldiers not far from White City heard this, their faces turned pale.


    Because of the distance, she didn''t hear it clearly.


    However, he could faintly hear the words'' survive or perish ''.


    Jun Qiyan couldn''t help but quicken her pace as she looked down from a high vantage point. Her face couldn''t help but turn pale.


    The dense crowd at the foot of the White City was astonishing.


    Jun Qiyan gritted his teeth, this was what the Master Wordsman meant when he said that there were a lot of things going on outside.


    Without any time to hesitate, Jun Qiyan jumped down from the tree and rushed towards White City.


    He only wanted to be faster.


    The people leading the group of people were none other than Jun Qiyan, Bai Qiuhu and Jun Yunge, who had been accidentally released by Jun Yunrue.


    Jun Yunge glared maliciously at the majestic city wall, wishing that he could tear Jun Qiyan into a thousand pieces.


    If the elder had not saved him that day, would he still be standing here with his life intact?


    If not for that bitch, how could he have suffered for such a long time?


    Jun Yunge''s complexion turned even more unsightly as he recalled the events of the past few days.


    And then, he thought about his current power.


    Jun Yunxiao curled his lips as he thought, "Jun Qiyan, ah, Jun Qianyan, today I will flatten this entire White City and make you regret your past!"


    Jun Yunge clenched his fists tightly as he thought to himself.


    "People of White City, I advise you to surrender ¡­"


    Her voice was mixed with spirit energy and people outside White City could clearly hear her voice.


    "Surrender? I want to see whether we will surrender today, or if you will be unable to return! "


    Another crisp voice interrupted Jun Laige''s words.


    Jun Yunge''s face stiffened. This was the voice that had been on her mind for the past year.


    A figure slowly descended from the sky. That red figure was like a fairy that had descended to the mortal world.


    Jun Yunge glared daggers at Jun Qiyan as she bit her lips. It was as if her eyes had been poisoned.


    "It''s good that you''re here, Jun Qiyan. Today, I''m going to fight you to the death!" Jun Laige said angrily.


    Jun Qiyan looked at the person beneath his feet and snorted coldly, disdain filling his eyes. "You think you are worthy?"


    In the face of Jun Qiyan''s disdain, Jun Yunge was so angry that his eyes turned red.


    Just as she was about to step forward, she was interrupted by a black-clothed man behind her.


    "Halt!"


    Jun Yunrue''s body stiffened. No matter how much hatred there was on his face, he didn''t take a step forward. Jun Qiyan narrowed her eyes. He could sense that Jun Laige had paid an absolute price and feared the man in black.


    "Mayor Jun, I''ve heard a lot about you." The black clothed man said with a smile. From head to toe, only a pair of eyes could be seen from the black clothed man''s eyes.


    His sharp eyes shot straight at Jun Qiyan.


    Jun Qiyan cried out in her heart. Not good! His entire strength was above hers.


    Her expression was somewhat unsightly. Her current strength could already be considered to be at the top of the entire Eastern Xuan Continent ¡­ An existence that was even stronger than him...


    He was from the Upper Realm.


    It wasn''t doubt, it was certainty.


    Due to the laws of space, the strength of every single person in the Profound East Continent had a top-notch position.


    And ¡­


    Jun Qiyan sneered as she looked at the man in black not far away. A cold light flashed in her eyes, "I don''t know why sire is visiting White City with so many people while I''m not around?"


    Jun Qiyan narrowed her eyes and said word by word.


    The man in black smiled and continued, "I have heard your name for a long time and have come to visit. I apologize here. "


    The moment he said those words, everyone on the city wall became so angry that their noses became crooked.


    Could you give me some face and see if I''m here to visit with these tens of thousands of people who don''t know what this thing is? I''ll believe you the hell!


    "F * ck, don''t listen to their nonsense. These people are too shameless. I''m telling you, they went too far just now ¡­" Gu Yao couldn''t help but start shouting.


    Jun Qiyan narrowed her eyes and snapped in a low voice, "Shut up."


    Did this guy not have a brain? In this situation, was he trying to make them fight by saying these words?


    Listening to Jun Qiyan''s scolding, Gu Yao''s expression turned somewhat unsightly, but he didn''t say anything in the end.


    He didn''t understand why the elders didn''t attack the city, but he knew from the look on the face of this woman that there were so many people with extraordinary strength here, how could they not be able to beat those three legendary beasts?


    "Since you have come to pay a visit, shouldn''t you be returning to those who have seen me? We aren''t afraid of any of you, your tens of thousands of people ¡­" I''m afraid that the servants will scare the people of White City. "


    Jun Qiyan slowly said.


    Upon seeing this, the black clothed man continued, "Since the mayor does not like us, then we will not linger any longer. Let''s go."


    Watching the tens of thousands of soldiers slowly leave White City, everyone let out a sigh of relief. If both sides were to fight, there would be no benefits at all.


    This was especially true for White City. Although no one knew why those people had withdrawn their troops at this time, it was a good thing that they hadn''t started fighting.

 C292

    "City lord is mighty!" Countless soldiers had excited expressions on their faces. They were happy to avoid throwing their heads to the ground and letting their blood boil.


    Jun Qiyan pursed her lips but didn''t say anything. There wasn''t any happiness in her eyes. The corners of her eyes glanced at Gu Yao, but she didn''t say anything.


    "Where are my father and brother?" Jun Qiyan turned around and asked.


    Feng Chen Lang was slightly stunned as he said: "They are in the cellar. I''ll get someone to bring them out."


    Jun Qiyan nodded.


    "The Sword Spirit Sect has come in full fury this time. Although they had eaten soldiers this time, it was hard to guarantee that they wouldn''t attack again. When I''m not around, you guys must make sure to do your best. " Jun Qianyan''s pair of sharp eyes looked at Ye Changsheng, Feng Chen, Lan Jing, and Ji Bai.


    He actually looked at each other and nodded his head.


    While they were talking, three figures slowly walked in.


    "Qiyan, you''re back!" Jun Xuanfeng said somewhat excitedly.


    Jun Qiyan nodded in response to their greetings, then impatiently squatted down and said, "Brother, I''ve found a way to help you."


    As soon as Jun Qianyan finished speaking, everyone present was stunned for a moment. Jun Mo Chen was so stunned that he couldn''t react to what Jun Qianyan had said. After a long while, he slowly raised his eyes.


    His eyes were filled with excitement that could not be hidden. He slowly opened his mouth, and his somewhat hoarse voice rang out. "Qiyan, is what you said true?"


    Jun Qiyan nodded, and then said with an ugly expression, "It''s just that brother, because your Aurous Core has already ¡­" Therefore, your previous practice will all be ruined and you will have to start all over again. Moreover, reconstructing a simple process is very difficult, have you thought about it yet? "


    Jun Mo Chen''s expression was a little unsightly because of the first part of Jun Qianyan''s sentence, but his originally gloomy face regained its liveliness when he heard the latter part.


    "As long as I can cultivate once more, what does suffering like this matter count for?"


    Jun Mo Chen said with a serious expression on his face. Then, he placed the pill in Jun Qiyan''s hand into his mouth without a second thought.


    Jun Qiyan knitted her brows, somewhat worried. The pain of reconstructing an Aurous Core was simply unimaginable for an ordinary person.


    After Jun Mo Chen placed the pill into his mouth, the aura around him started to change.


    Jun Mo Chen''s handsome face gradually became distorted, and a thin layer of white fog started to slowly surround his body.


    Jun Qiyan let out a sigh, signalling for everyone in the room to leave, not to disturb Jun Mo Chen.


    Everyone nodded and left.


    ¡ª ¡ª


    she said in dissatisfaction when they returned to the base.


    "I really don''t know what elder is thinking. He could have taken down White City in one fell swoop ¡­"


    The man in the lead narrowed his eyes and sneered. He sneered at the crowd with disdain in his eyes. However, not a single person in the crowd dared to show even the slightest bit of dissatisfaction.


    "Ignorant child!"


    Jun Yunrue''s face turned pale. She bit her lips and said, "Elegy is a fool. I wonder ¡­"


    The man in black shook his sleeves and sneered: "Do you know the strength of that Jun Qiyan? Do you think you can beat her now? "She is a Tier 9 apothecary, what do you think you are!"


    The man in black cast a disgusted look at Jun Laige, as if he was referring to some trash.


    Jun Laige''s face turned pale white. He was obviously frightened by the title of a Grade Nine Alchemist.


    The man in black no longer looked at Jun Yunge.


    There was another point he did not mention.


    Jun Qiyan wasn''t just a Grade Nine Alchemist; Di Mo Jiu was standing behind him too!


    There is an unwritten rule in this world.


    The people of the upper realms couldn''t interfere in the matters of the lower realms. Jun Qianyan was an exception. Her parents were characters of the upper realms, but she had been born in the lower realms.


    If they wanted to deal with Jun Qiyan, they would have to borrow the hands of the lower realms.


    However, Jun Qiyan had founded the White City. The White City was a peak influence of the lower realms.


    The man in black narrowed his eyes. It was because of this that he secretly let the Sword Spirit Sect cultivate the secret technique ¡­


    If he were to really attack Jun Qiyan today, then Di Mo Jiu would definitely not let them off.


    And the law of space was punishing him ¡­


    The man in black narrowed his eyes. If Di Mo Jiu had no choice but to make a move ¡­


    Jun Qiyan stood atop the city walls of White City, gazing off into the distance. It was unknown what he was thinking about.


    Suddenly, a pair of arms appeared at her waist.


    Jun Qiyan''s entire body stiffened. It was only after she felt the familiar aura behind her that she completely relaxed.


    "Promise me you will never let yourself be in danger."


    A familiar voice resounded in Jun Qiyan''s ears. She leaned her head against Jun Qianyan''s chest and said half-coquettishly, "Don''t I still have you?"


    Di Mo Jiu was stunned for a moment, then he lovingly curled his lips, but that smile did not reach his eyes.


    "Promise me that you will never put yourself in danger."


    Di Mo Jiu said with a bit of stubbornness.


    Jun Qianyan couldn''t help but find it funny. He nodded his head, and turned around to look at the face that he hadn''t seen for a long time. There was an expression on his face, as if he didn''t understand what was going on.


    "Ninth Master, the remnants of the Sword Spirit Sect are still here. With White City''s current power ¡­"


    Jun Qiyan pursed her lips as her expression turned ugly.


    Di Mo''s eyes dimmed, and he narrowed his eyes.


    According to the current situation in the Eastern Xuan Continent, there is no one who can fight against the Sword Spirit Sect.


    "Do you know that at the end of the Profound East Continent, there is a mysterious island. The races that live on it can look down on the laws of space."

 C293

    Di Mo Jiu said in a deep voice, his eyes looked far away, no one knew what he was thinking about.


    He could look down on the Space Laws?


    Jun Qiyan blanked for a moment before finding it hard to believe.


    "Dragon clan."


    Di Mo Jiu slowly said this word.


    Dragon Race...


    Jun Qianyan had heard of these two words before he had even transmigrated to the Eastern Profound Continent.


    "You mean the dragon clan?"


    In Jun Qiyan''s mind, he began to imagine the image of the dragon race.


    "That''s right, the dragon race is extremely powerful, and the high level dragon race can even be compared to the god race." Di Mo Jiu''s words were shocking.


    "It''s just that the dragon race hasn''t appeared in front of humans for many years."


    Di Mo Jiu said in a deep voice, seemingly lost in his memories.


    During the Great War of Gods and Demons, there were people who wanted to invite the Dragon Tribe out, but in the end, there was no return.


    The dragon race was a very united race. They disliked outsiders.


    But Jun Qiyan is different...


    Di Mo Jiu looked at the little fellow in his arms and hugged it even more tightly.


    The expression in Jun Qiyan''s eyes was somewhat gloomy; she had not come out for a very long time.


    Jun Qiyan pursed her lips. She had originally wanted to look for the dragon race. If she could find them, then that would be a great boost to her strength!


    What Sword Spirit Sect? They''d be instantly reduced to dust.


    "Ninth Elder, do you know of the existence of the dragon race?"


    Jun Qiyan asked out of nowhere. He didn''t expect Di Mo Jiu to answer him, but he didn''t expect Di Mo Jiu to suddenly say, "I know."


    Jun Qiyan froze on the spot, then turned to look at Di Mo Jiu in disbelief.


    Under the girl''s hopeful eyes, Di Mo Jiu said slowly.


    "If you want to go, that''s fine, but you need me to bring you."


    On the other hand, Jun Qiyan didn''t have any objections. He was quite willing to flirt with his husband.


    "Bo!"


    A crisp sound rang out. Jun Qiyan kissed Di Mo Jiu on the cheek, and then laughed mischievously.


    Di Mo Jiu made a face, then turned around and ran without looking back.


    Di Mo and Di Jiu gazed at the departing figure of a certain someone, feeling both angry and amused at the same time.


    ''This little girl ¡­ '' His wings had really hardened!


    After Jun Qiyan made up her mind to go to the Dragon clan''s territory, she prepared to pack her luggage.


    "Where are you going?" A voice filled with resentment rang out.


    Jun Qiyan''s body stiffened. He did not need to turn around to know who it was.


    "I''m going to the dragon clan." Jun Qiyan put down the things in her hands and turned around to look at the four people behind her.


    Ji Bai leaned against the door and said word by word, "So you''re going to leave White City with us again?"


    Under the piercing gaze of Ji Bai, for some reason, Jun Qiyan felt a little guilty.


    "Can some people feel it?" Feng Chenlang also could not bear it and said.


    "Can you guys pick the important points? This crazy guy wants to go to the Dragon clan? Dragon clan!" Gu Yao rolled his eyes. He really couldn''t take it anymore. These people really ¡­


    "Dragon clan?!" Feng Chenlang exclaimed as he took a big stride forward and asked Jun Qianyan, "Is it the kind of person who can fly in the sky?"


    Everyone rolled their eyes.


    "Do you know that you ask this question like a retard?"


    Beijing''s Ji Bai said mercilessly.


    Feng Chenlang curled his lips as he said excitedly while looking at Jun Qianyan, "I also want to go."


    Jun Qiyan raised an eyebrow as he looked at Feng Chenlang and asked, "You want to go as well?"


    "And me, I want to throw this mess to me again. Let me tell you, don''t even think about it." "Since Jing and Ji Bai were looking for an opportunity, she touched her chin and said."


    Jun Qiyan looked at the people in front of him, not knowing what to say.


    "Dye, bring me along."


    Ye Changsheng, who had been silent all this time, said with a smile in his eyes, "Go and leave me alone in White City. I''m scared."


    Everyone: "..."


    "You all ¡­" Gu Yao did not know what was going on, what was going on with these people, did they know what kind of place the dragon race was?! Why did it seem like they were going on a sightseeing tour?


    "I want it too ¡­"


    Gu Yao couldn''t help feeling discontent in his heart. Were these five fellows trying to keep him in White City?!


    "Wait!" Jun Qiyan interrupted them with a hand on her forehead.


    "Do you know what kind of place the dragon race is?!"


    Everyone nodded.


    "Then why are all of you still going?" Jun Qiyan looked at these people with her hands on her hips.


    "Yes!" Everyone said without hesitation.


    Jun Qiyan didn''t know what to say.


    After a moment of silence, the teasing expression on Beijing''s face was replaced with a serious one.


    "Dye, look at all these years. Do you still remember how strong you were in the beginning?"


    He still remembered that when they first arrived at Tanas Academy, Jun Qiyan was the weakest among them. It had only been a few years, and she had already reached a level that they remembered was impossible to reach.


    Jun Qiyan was slightly taken aback.


    "I have to say that your talent is indeed something that we cannot reach. However, don''t you think that part of the reason why you were able to advance so quickly was due to luck?"


    This time, it was Jun Qiyan''s turn to be speechless. She looked at her companions who were living and dying together. That''s right, she had come across quite a few fortuitous encounters over the years.


    "But the territory of the Dragons is very dangerous ¡­" "We went this time, but we don''t know if we''ll be able to come back ¡­"


    Jun Qiyan said in a low voice as she opened her mouth.


    In truth, Jun Qianyan''s thoughts were very simple. He wanted to protect the people he cared about, his companions, her lovers, and her loved ones.


    Feng Chen Lang laughed out loud three times and said: "If we''re afraid of death, how could we help you guard this White City? A girl like you ran around outside, and you want us men like you to stay at home?"


    The four of them nodded, agreeing with Feng Chenlang''s words.


    Jun Qiyan''s dark red lips slightly curled up as an unusual expression appeared in her eyes.


    "The same life and death!"


    The four of them looked at each other and laughed. "We will share the hardships!"


    Since they had decided to go to the dragon clan, they packed up their things and prepared to leave on the spot.


    Jun Mo Chen''s aurous core had already been reconstructed.


    Jun Qiyan looked at the drained Ji Bai, and a flash of pain appeared in his eyes.


    The corner of Jun Mo Chen''s mouth curled up into a smile as he looked at Jun Qianyan, who helped her up onto the bed. He couldn''t help but ask, "Brother, how are you doing?"


    Jun Mo Chen shook his head weakly and fell into a deep slumber.


    Jun Qiyan knew that he was extremely tired, so she could only gently put him down.


    Jun Qianyan slowly walked out of the room, and coincidentally, Jun Xuanfeng was also standing outside the room. Jun Xuanyan slowly walked out of the room, and coincidentally, Jun Xuanfeng was also standing outside the room.


    Jun Xuanfeng was old; he actually didn''t have any wish. As long as Jun Feiyan and Jun Mo Chen could continue to live, it would be fine.


    Jun Qiyan smiled and said, "With me here, what can I do?"


    In the face of Jun Qianyan''s arrogance, Jun Xuanfeng didn''t know whether to laugh or cry.


    However, he felt very gratified in his heart.


    "Oh yeah, Dye, I came to tell you that Di Yeming has ascended to the throne."


    Jun Qiyan blanked out for a moment. She was not surprised. Although Di Yaming was a scumbag, he was indeed a rare and talented man. He held the hearts of all the people in the world in his hands.


    "Oh, the old Emperor is dead?" Jun Qiyan casually asked.


    Jun Zhentian, who had rushed over to the side, turned pale when he heard his daughter''s words. He wanted to reprimand her for being shameless, but he suddenly turned around and realized that this was White City.


    That was her daughter''s world, where did her spies come from?


    Besides, with his daughter''s current strength, even if Di Yeming, the old emperor, was still alive, he wouldn''t dare to say anything about it.


    Thinking of this, the old tutor was overjoyed.


    "Of course, how can you be as tough as our family''s old man? He can eat pills like candy? "


    Jun Zhentian was a bit arrogant, look, this was his daughter!


    Sensing the two pairs of eyes that were shooting at him from the side, Jun Xuanfeng lightly coughed and felt a little embarrassed.


    "Cough, cough." He was old and red, and did not dare to look at the faces of Jun Qianyan and Jun Xuanfeng.


    Jun Qiyan didn''t have much of an opinion on the matter; he just felt that he had been keeping to the rules the entire time. The old man could actually look away as well ¡­ She was just a little surprised at how outrageous he was.


    "I mean should we go to the palace?"


    Jun Xuanfeng tried to inquire, but unconsciously, they had already treated Jun Feiyan as their pillar of support.


    Jun Qiyan narrowed her eyes as the corners of her lips curled up into an evil smile.


    "Go, why not? I can''t help but to go, and I even have to go with a great fanfare! "


    Although he didn''t know what his granddaughter and granddaughter had in mind, he just needed to follow her.


    Jun Qiyan wasn''t planning anything bad. She only felt that once the Sword Spirit Sect attacked, it would be a matter for the entire Eastern Xuan Continent.


    Could the four countries just stand and watch?


    Even if she wanted to stand aside and watch, she would have to see if she would let them off after the fight, and see if the Sword Spirit Sect would let them off.


    Furthermore, due to the fact that the spirit energy in the Eastern Xuan Continent was very thin, many talented people did not manage to make good use of their talent.


    Her purpose of going to the palace this time was to unearth talents.


    Returning to his room, Jun Qianyan gave a brief summary of her thoughts. Ji Bai and the others didn''t have any objections.


    "There are a lot of talented people in the four countries, but not everyone will have the opportunity like us."


    Beijing''s Ji Bai frowned slightly as he spoke.


    Jun Qiyan nodded in agreement.


    "Is that fellow, Di Yeming, the one you broke off the engagement with?"


    A very discordant voice rang, and Feng Chenlang continued to speak unafraid of death: "Hahahaha! That fellow should be regretting his decision now, right? I remember that she was preparing to marry Jun Yanran back then, right? You really mistook fish eyes for pearls. "


    Feng Chen Lang rubbed his chin, not noticing the awkward atmosphere in the air.


    The crowd couldn''t help sighing in their hearts. This guy really lacked something!

 C294

    "The inauguration of Di Yeming is tomorrow. Get ready, we''re leaving tomorrow morning."


    On the other hand, Jun Qiyan didn''t blame Feng Chenlang. She only smiled and told the others to make some preparations so that they could set off tomorrow.


    When he returned to the City Lord''s Mansion, Jun Qiyan closed the door and saw Di Mo Jiu wearing a purple robe on the bed. His snow-white chest was exposed in front of Jun Qiyan''s eyes.


    What the heck!


    Ninth Master was breaking the rules ¡­ How could he use a beauty trap!


    In order to seduce him, Ninth Master had actually started to sacrifice his lecherous act ¡­


    Jun Qiyan touched his nose and was fine; there was no blood coming out of his nose.


    Ninth Master had already done this. If he didn''t fall for it now ¡­ Wasn''t this too inhumane!?


    Thinking up to here, Jun Qiyan laughed evilly, without saying anything further, she pounced on Di Mo Jiu''s chest and started chewing on it.


    Di Mo Jiu gave a muffled groan, the look in his eyes becoming much darker.


    "You''re going to the Imperial Palace tomorrow?" Di Mo Jiu grabbed a certain someone''s restless little hand, and with a flip of his body, he pushed that person down on top of himself.


    Jun Qiyan swallowed his saliva as he looked at Di Mo Jiu''s handsome face, feeling a little dizzy.


    "Right... "That''s right!"


    Jun Qiyan unhappily stared at Di Mo Jiu, feeling dizzy.


    "You want to see Di Yeming?" "And to congratulate him on his accession to the throne?"


    Di Mo Jiu smiled as he spoke, but the more he looked at his eyes, the more he didn''t feel happy at all.


    Jun Qiyan nodded, then suddenly shivered. That''s not right, why is Ninth Master asking this?


    However, Jun Qianyan reacted a little too late. The moment she nodded her head, the smile on Ninth Master''s face completely disappeared, and his pair of sharp eyes looked at Jun Qianyan, causing her to feel guilty for no reason ¡­


    Hm?!


    She didn''t say anything wrong!


    Jun Qiyan blinked innocently, he couldn''t help but feel somewhat innocent. Why did the Ninth Master ask him that just now ¡­


    You want to see Di Yeming? And even congratulating him on ascending the throne?


    At first glance, they might have heard of a certain problem, but ¡­ There were traps everywhere!


    When Jun Qiyan recovered from his shock, he grabbed Di Mo Jiu''s neck and left a mark on Di Mo Jiu''s thin lips.


    "Hee hee, I, I''m not ¡­ I''m not going to put up a show for him ¡­"


    Di Mo Jiu was no longer angry after seeing Jun Qianyan''s gentle kiss. As expected, kissing someone was the best!


    "I remember that Di Yeming was betrothed to you before? "You even went to his residence ¡­"


    Ji Yunhuang?" Di Moyu''s voice was low, but it caused Jun Qiyan to shudder. In his heart, he had cursed Di Yeming for millions of times ¡­


    ''Damn it! If Ninth Master gets angry at me over this, I won''t skin that brat alive! ''


    Jun Qiyan secretly clenched his fists, but his face was covered with a sweet smile. No matter what, the most important thing was to coax the great demon king!


    Jun Qiyan grabbed Di Mo Jiu''s arm, wanting to flatter him.


    "Back then, I was framed ¡­"


    "Oh, then you''re really taking the initiative to look for him?" Di Mo Jiu''s eyes slightly narrowed as he said in an indifferent tone.


    "Alright, I understand." Di Mo Jiu sighed, looking like a young wife.


    Jun Qiyan: "?"


    You know my ass!


    "It''s not Ninth Master, it''s not what you think ¡­" Jun Qiyan pulled the corner of Di Mo Jiu''s shirt and said in a wronged tone.


    Di Mo Jiu ignored her.


    Good, good, good. Di Yeming, just you wait!


    "Bring me to the Imperial Palace tomorrow." After a long while, Di Mo Jiu finally said, "No, I can''t go against my wife, wouldn''t that be letting that son of a b * tch off?!"


    At this moment, if there was anything Jun Qiyan couldn''t print, she hurriedly nodded her head.


    Di Mo Jiu then curled his lips in satisfaction.


    The next morning, they set off.


    The Imperial Palace was in a festive mood, both inside and outside. Jun Qianyan was looking around.


    "It''s been a long time since I''ve been here."


    Feng Chen Lang was a little excited: "The last time we came, we had to deal with that son of a b * tch, the crown prince''s ceremony!"


    Gu Yao shot a glance at Feng Chenlang and pursed his lips, "Be careful when you speak. He''s an emperor after all!" Although there was a hint of reproach in his words, his face didn''t have the slightest trace of respect.


    The corners of Jun Qiyan''s lips curled up. She didn''t forget to hold on to Jun Qiyan''s arm as they neared the Imperial Palace.


    Beautiful men and women were eye-catching everywhere, and Jun Feiyan had always been a high-profile person. It was difficult for people to not recognize him if they didn''t want to hurt him.


    "This is the White City''s Mayor, Jun Qiyan!"


    There were whispers everywhere.


    "This is Jun Qiyan?! How old is she now? She can''t be relying on her body to get the upper hand, right? "


    "I think it''s possible. She looks like a fox spirit. Moreover, she''s just a woman. How much ability could she possibly have?"


    "Can you lower your voice for me, woman? "I told you, when she was at Tanas Academy, we were at the same level. You didn''t see how fierce he could be when he hit someone. Just one punch from her could make you doubt your own life!"


    "Tsk, I don''t believe this ¡­"


    Jun Qiyan smiled as she looked at the young boys and girls discussing her. They were dressed in the same attire as the young masters and young ladies of the capital, the type who had been spoiled since childhood.


    Those few people had thought that they could only keep their voices down, but with Jun Qianyan''s current strength, she could clearly feel every single movement within a hundred miles. The discussion of these people was simply too noisy.


    "If you can''t, you can try."


    Jun Qiyan strode forward, lifted up the chin of the young girl who had said "I can''t" with a single hand, and whispered into her ear, "No, you can try. I don''t want money."


    Towards such gossip, Jun Qiyan usually didn''t like to argue with others. After all, there were so many people in the world, so how could she control everyone''s mouth?


    And she''s not a banknote... How can people love each other?


    However, this didn''t mean that she could bear to be slandered in front of the Ninth Master! This guy''s words had already come to this point. If he did not show them that he was the culprit, they would just treat him as a dead man.


    As soon as Jun Qianyan finished speaking, the young woman trembled like a sieve. She looked like she was about to cry.


    "Sorry, sorry ¡­"


    Jun Qiyan stroked her beautiful face as he muttered to himself, "Am I that scary ¡­"


    "Dyeing is the most beautiful thing in the world, how can it scare people?"


    Di Mo Jiu laughed, he had bewitched countless girls in the capital.


    Jun Qiyan looked at Di Mo Jiu, wishing he could just hide her. The Ninth Master was his!


    Only he could see it!


    As they chatted, several people arrived at the great hall. When the eunuchs outside saw the arrival of the Daolord Qiyan and the others, they immediately ran over.


    "Oh, City Lord Bai!" "Some of them are far off, some of them are far away!"


    The eunuch''s flattering smile appeared in front of their eyes. He sized up Di Mo Jiu, who was standing next to Jun Feiyan, and asked, "This is ¡­"


    Jun Qiyan glanced at Di Mo Jiu, smiled and said, "This is my husband."


    This could be said to be out of shock. Strictly speaking, the two of them had not yet bowed to the heaven and earth. Without the relationship of husband and wife, they could only be considered as an unmarried couple.


    However, there was no such thing as an unmarried couple, so Jun Qianyan could only say this.


    The eunuch was obviously surprised for a moment, then he laughed dryly and sized Di Mo Jiu up, saying, "This young master sure has a nice appearance, but why is there no news about the Mayor''s wedding?"


    After that, he sized up Di Mo Jiu once more. After thinking for a while, he didn''t expect Di Mo Jiu to be such a character, so he could only give up.


    "Being too flamboyant always makes people feel resentful."


    Jun Qiyan smiled, turned around, and stepped into the great hall.


    Di Mo Jiu whispered in Jun Qiyan''s ear, "That eunuch just now said that I''m a pretty boy."


    What was there to say when Jun Qiyan heard him?!


    He turned around and was about to find his father-in-law to settle the score, but Di Mo Jiu stopped him.


    "It would be my honor if I could bring my wife to like this piece of skin."


    Jun Qianyan lightly coughed with a reddened face. "Pay attention! You''re in a public place with so many people. What''s the point of making a single dog like you!"


    Feng Chenlang and the others beside him: "Hehe, so you actually have a bit of conscience."


    "City lord of White City has arrived!"


    Her father-in-law''s scream brought everyone back to reality.


    Jun Qiyan straightened his expression and pulled Di Mo Jiu''s hand towards the main hall.


    On the dragon throne, Di Mo Jiu looked at the group of people who had just arrived with a complicated expression on his face. These familiar yet unfamiliar faces made Di Yeming feel complicated.


    "You''re here." Di Yaming opened his mouth, but only said those few words.


    "Long time no see. This time, you''ve become the emperor." Feng Chen Lang said with a smile. If there wasn''t someone here, he would probably have held the City Lord''s shoulder and punched him in the chest.


    "Congratulations." The capital''s Ji Bai and the rest did not say much, simply expressing their own thoughts.


    Di Yuming felt a bit embarrassed by Feng Chenlang''s shout. They had interacted with each other when they were young, so they weren''t that familiar with each other.


    Strictly speaking, he is the monarch, and they are his subjects. Have you ever seen a monarch greet them in such a manner?!


    Even if they were familiar with each other, they would at least have a good time. There were so many people watching ¡­


    Although Di Yeming was a bit unhappy, he didn''t dare to say it out loud.


    How could this be? The boss was still in front of him.


    "Hur hur, you guys sit."


    Di Mo Jiu pointed to the front row and said.


    After that, quite a few ministers came up one after another, kowtowing three times and kowtowing nine times. This, at least, made Di Yeming feel slightly more at ease in his heart.


    Jun Qiyan didn''t care about whether the others were eating. Everyone''s food was separated anyway. As she ate, she secretly despised the food in the palace as inferior to the food in White City.


    While she despised the food, she also acted like an old mother.


    After he finished his meal, Jun Qiyan had no intention to stay here and listen to Di Yeming''s long speech. She directly sneaked out through the back door.


    That arrogant manner of hers was like a gentle stream within the palace, but no one dared to say anything about it!


    As for Di Mo Jiu, he was not really interested in loitering around in the palace.


    Gu Yao, Feng Chenlang, and the rest followed behind Jun Qiyan as they went out together with her.


    According to the usual practice, it would take several hours for the ministers to leave. Jun Qianyan wandered around the Imperial Palace, feeling somewhat bored.


    "In this palace, we are not as good as White City."

 C295

    Feng Chen Lang looked around, but didn''t see anything special.


    "Why don''t we go back?"


    Feng Chenlang said as he felt there was no point in making this suggestion.


    The others nodded in agreement. Suddenly, Jun Qianyan felt a sharp pain in her stomach, and her face turned pale. She couldn''t help but feel embarrassed.


    "Uh, you guys go back first."


    The few of them looked at Jun Qiyan strangely, but did not ask any further questions.


    After seeing them walk away, Jun Qiyan found a washroom. After she finished excreting, she felt that the world had become much better.


    But... Why didn''t he know where he was?!


    Jun Qiyan looked around in a daze. The walls were everywhere, or they might lose their way. Jun Qianyan circled several times but still couldn''t find where he had come from.


    That bastard Di Yeming ¡­" Won''t you get lost living in such a place all day?!


    Jun Qiyan had some doubts about life.


    She was looking around for an exit when, all of a sudden, she bumped into something. She heard a loud ''Ouch!'' and heard a beautiful woman''s voice. She held her head in her hands as she glared hatefully at Jun Yunrue.


    Jun Qiyan frowned as he looked at the woman lying on the ground. "I''m sorry," he said in a low voice.


    With that, he turned around and was about to leave.


    However, that person evidently didn''t want to let Jun Qiyan go. She sternly berated him, "How dare you make things difficult for the people! Do you know where this is? "How dare you trespass!"


    Jun Qiyan was immediately overjoyed upon hearing this. If he knew where this place was, would he still be able to wander around here?


    "I don''t know, how can you tell me?"


    Jun Qiyan crossed her arms and said as she looked at the man in front of her.


    When the woman saw Jun Qianyan''s expression, she immediately became angry to the extreme. She pointed at Jun Qianyan''s face, and angrily said, "You, you, this is my sleeping quarters!"


    This palace? Was this girl a princess? But why hadn''t she heard that Di Yeming had a sister?


    "Are you a princess?" Jun Qiyan frowned. "Why don''t I remember him having a sister?"


    The woman widened her eyes in fury as her voice became sharper, "You, you, I am the imperial concubine. Who do you think you are to dare call the emperor by his name? This is simply outrageous, go take him down! "


    Imperial Consort? Jun Qiyan''s brows furrowed even more. ''What the ¡­ is this harem?'' Why did she move from the imperial court to the imperial harem?!


    Jun Qiyan secretly held his forehead, indicating that he would never want to return to this place ever again.


    Seeing so many guards surround Jun Qianyan, Imperial Concubine Qi fiercely said, "You trespassed into the imperial harem, directly addressing him by his name. To disrespect your Imperial Consort, I will have my Imperial Majesty exterminate your entire clan!"


    Imperial Concubine Qi had her hands on her waist as her venomous gaze landed on Jun Qianyan''s face. A trace of jealousy flashed through her poisoned eyes.


    Fox spirit! Coming to the imperial harem dressed like this, he was definitely trying to seduce the emperor!


    As she thought of this, Imperial Concubine Qi took the golden trident off her head, looking at Jun Qiyan with a sinister gaze.


    Meanwhile, Jun Qi was still in a stupefied state. He didn''t know what was going on. Were all the girls these ruthless? Every now and then, there would be nine familial exterminations.


    "I say, can you not be so cruel?"


    The corners of Jun Qiyan''s mouth couldn''t help but twitch as she looked at all the guards. This wasn''t even enough for her to have an appetizer.


    Imperial Concubine Qi saw the expression on Jun Qianyan''s face and felt that he was afraid. She couldn''t help but feel pleased with herself.


    "What are you all still doing? Hurry up and capture him!" I want to carve the face of that slut! "


    Hearing this familiar line, Jun Qiyan couldn''t help but find it funny. Was this the line she often heard when she first arrived?


    It was just that it would make him look ugly, and the beauty would only touch his face.


    Jun Qiyan shook his head as he thought about his sins.


    Jun Qiyan narrowed her eyes when she saw a guard rushing towards her. Just as he was about to push her down, she raised her leg and kicked him down.


    The imperial concubine was dumbfounded. She didn''t know where to put the golden trident.


    "You, you bunch of trash! What the hell did I raise you all for!? "


    Imperial Concubine Qi''s anger was flaring to the brim as she looked at Jun Yunrue with a hint of fear in her eyes.


    Jun Qiyan scratched his ear and pursed his lips in a disinterested manner, "Whose face did you say you wanted to paint?"


    Imperial Concubine Qi placed her hands on her waist and explained perfectly what it meant to be unable to lose, "I ¡­ Let me tell you, my father is a great general with a million strong soldiers. If you dare to do anything to me, I''ll let my father exterminate your entire clan! "


    Seeing that Di Yaming''s banner wasn''t able to intimidate Jun Qi, she opened her mouth to call out her father.


    Jun Qiyan found this somewhat amusing. There were people with mental retardation every year. There were really a lot of them this year. Wasn''t even the emperor afraid of a general?


    I''m kidding.


    "I''m looking at the law, that''s something only the Emperor can do. What does your father count as?"


    Jun Qiyan smiled innocently, causing that imperial concubine to turn pale.


    She opened her mouth, looking like she was about to cry.


    "You, you ¡­"


    Jun Qiyan didn''t give Imperial Concubine Qi a chance to speak. "Or do you think your father is more powerful than the Emperor?"


    "Oh, I heard it. You even said that your father was in charge of a million soldiers. You''re planning to rebel!"


    After Jun Qiyan finished speaking, her beautiful eyes suddenly became sharp.


    Imperial Concubine Qi''s face became paler and paler, both of them seemed to be in a state of shock. When she heard the words'' conspiracy '', she suddenly roared loudly, "You are framing us!" "My father is wholeheartedly dedicated to the Eastern Tomb Kingdom ¡­"


    Imperial Concubine Qi''s face was deathly pale, the hatred in her eyes overflowing to the heavens. Just what sort of background did this woman have?


    Imperial Concubine Qi had been raised in her room since childhood, so she had never heard of the outside world. Because of her domineering nature, no one was willing to become friends with her, and since Jun Qianyan wasn''t a peerless hero, Imperial Concubine Qi naturally hadn''t heard of this person''s existence.


    While the two of them were in a confrontation, a middle-aged man saw the situation over here and quickly walked over.


    When Imperial Concubine Qi saw him, it was as if she''d found her pillar and hugged his thigh in tears.


    "Father!" Take this woman! I will kill her! "


    Imperial Concubine Qi glared viciously at Jun Qianyan. Those who didn''t know what was going on would think that Jun Qiyan had killed their parents.


    That middle-aged man was Imperial Concubine Qi''s father, Duke An of the An Country. He thought that if he found the City Lord of White City, he would be able to accomplish a great deed.


    When he heard his daughter''s words, Duke An''s face turned completely pale. Just now in the imperial court, even the Emperor was forced to swallow his anger, not daring to speak a word. However, her daughter had come up to kill him ¡­


    "Bastard!"


    An Guo was so angry that she slapped Imperial Consort Qi right on the spot.


    Imperial Concubine Qi stood rooted to the spot, unable to react for a long time. After a long time, she screamed, "Father, you actually hit me?!"


    Imperial Concubine Qi had been pampered since she was young, to the point where she had never even heard a single harsh sentence, let alone a beating.


    "Shut up! Hurry up and apologize to the City Lord! "


    Duke An wanted nothing more than to kill this daughter of his. He had a faint premonition that the fate of his family was about to end here.


    Jun Qiyan looked at the scene in front of her, not a single emotion could be seen in her eyes.


    "I don''t! Why should I apologize to this slut! "


    Imperial Concubine Qi shouted excitedly.


    Duke An pointed at the imperial concubine and snapped, "If you don''t apologize now, I won''t have a daughter like you!"


    Seeing that Imperial Concubine Qi was unmoved, the Duke of An shut his eyes in despair. He hurriedly looked at Jun Qiyan with a forced smile and said, "Mayor''s daughter is not sensible ¡­"


    Jun Qiyan burst out in laughter as she mockingly said, "Your daughter should be older than me, right?"


    With these words, the Duke of An couldn''t help but feel a little awkward.


    "I wonder what my daughter did to anger the city lord ¡­"


    The Anguo Duke knew exactly what kind of character his daughter was, but he still hoped that Jun Qiyan would cause trouble in advance. That way, she could at least leave Imperial Concubine Qi a chance of survival.


    "Oh, it''s nothing much, I just bumped into him, then apologized to your daughter. Your daughter thought it wasn''t enough, and said that I broke into the imperial harem or something. I was disrespectful to him, and wanted you to raise nine generations of us."


    Jun Qianyun calmly said, but he was so frightened that his entire body was trembling.


    Slaughter the Nine Clans ¡­


    Duke An shut his eyes in despair. His voice trembled as he said word by word, "I hope the Mayor will spare my daughter''s life!"


    Jun Qiyan found it a little funny. "Aren''t I that scary? "This guy is a bit annoying, but he doesn''t deserve to die for his crimes. Just discipline him properly in the future."


    If this was in the past, he would not care about the life or death of this woman. However, the present time was not the same as the past, as she could see that An Ran''s talent was considered good in the Eastern Xuan Continent. If she really did kill his beloved daughter, he did not know what would happen to her.


    Hearing this, the elder''s eyes widened in disbelief as he asked, "Is what you said true?"


    Jun Qiyan nodded. "There''s no need for me to get along with a little girl."


    These words moved Duke An greatly. It was all because the little girl asked Jun Qiyan why she didn''t belong to her own home ¡­


    "Uhm, I accidentally got lost and ran to the harem, how about you send me back later?"


    Just as Jun Qiyan was about to leave, she realized that she had gotten lost and ran all the way here.


    When the Elder of An Nation heard this, he hurriedly said, "City Lord, come with me. His Majesty and the others are about to go crazy from trying to find you."


    Arriving at the imperial court, Di Yaming couldn''t help but let out a sigh of relief when he saw that Jun Qianyan was still unharmed.


    If something were to happen to her in his palace, these people would tear her apart ¡­


    Di Yuming glanced at the four children beside him and felt a bit aggrieved. Which emperor thought he was acting like this? Yet, he still dared to be angry but didn''t dare to say anything ¡­


    Di Yeming coughed lightly and said, "It''s good that you''re fine after dying ¡­"


    When the two words "Dye" came out, Jun Qianyan felt his hair stand on end, "Who is Dye? You should call me Jun Qiyan or the City Lord."


    It''s true, I''ve made such a mistake by speaking. I''m a man with a family!


    As soon as Di Yaming was interrupted by Jun Qianyan, he immediately felt a bit embarrassed. His face was flushed red, and his chest felt like it was going to burst at any moment.


    "I say, are you alright?"


    Jun Qiyan nodded. "Nothing much. I just got lost. I went to take a walk around your harem."


    The Duke of An was a little nervous when he heard Jun Qiyan''s words.


    He was afraid that Jun Qiyan would be unhappy and tell him what had just happened.


    After waiting for a long time for Jun Qianyan to calm down, she began to secretly blame herself for being so narrow-minded.


    The mayor was a mysterious person. If he said he didn''t care about it, then he would definitely care about it!


    When he thought of this, the An clan''s reverence for Jun Qiyan grew.


    "Oh, it''s good that you''re fine."


    Di Yaming wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said with a smile.

 C296

    Feng Chenlang looked at Jun Qiyan for a moment to confirm that she was alright before letting out a breath of relief. However, he couldn''t help but look at her with a hint of reproach in his eyes.


    "If you don''t know the way and you dare to walk on your own, why haven''t you lost it?"


    Feng Chenlang said with a sneer.


    Jun Qiyan awkwardly stuck out her tongue.


    "Can''t I be wrong?"


    Jun Qiyan said with a smile, but his words were not sincere.


    "Look at her attitude ¡­"


    "You''re not allowed to leave my sight in the future." Di Mo Jiu said word by word as he looked at Jun Qianyan.


    Jun Qiyan felt that it was a bit shameful that she could still walk after such a long time. "I-I won''t run around in the future."


    Their interactions were being watched by Di Yeming. For some reason, he felt that they were rather eye-catching.


    If he hadn''t hurt her so much back then, he could have stood by her side as a friend now.


    He smiled bitterly.


    "If there''s nothing else, then everyone''s beloved sovereign should head back earlier today."


    Di Ye Ming waved his hand with a tired expression on his face.


    Not mentioning the fact that all the ministers had left, only then did she come before Di Yaming and slowly said, "Actually, I came this time because I have something to talk to you about."


    The expression in Jun Qiyan''s eyes was rather deep. Di Yaming frowned, indicating for him to continue.


    "Do you still remember the Sword Spirit Sect?"


    Di Yeming nodded. He wasn''t an idiot.


    "These are for you." Jun Qiyan suddenly took out close to a thousand bottles of elixir from the Nuwa Stone. There were elixirs of every grade, and there was even one with a Rank 7 or 8 elixir among them.


    As the ruler of a country, Di Yuming had obviously seen quite a lot of good things. However, he had never seen so many things in one go. There was someone who could take out so many pills in one go.


    Grade nine medicinal pill?


    Di Yeming opened his eyes wide, looking at Jun Qiyan in a slightly different light than before. This was a f * cking rich person!


    Have you ever met anyone who doesn''t want money like sugar beans?


    Di Yeming swallowed his saliva and said with some difficulty, "Did you refine all of these by yourself?"


    Jun Qiyan nodded, but didn''t say anything further. "I practiced with Master Words a few days ago."


    "The purpose of these pills is to let you recruit all the talented people in the world and help them break through. The strength of the Sword Spirit Sect is much more terrifying than we can imagine."


    Di Yaming''s expression was slightly serious. He looked at Jun Qianyan with his sword-like eyebrows, and asked with some doubt, "Didn''t the Sword Spirit Sect perish a long time ago? "Could it be ¡­"


    Jun Qiyan nodded. "That''s right. His strength far exceeds what we''ve seen. They might attack us in the next few years."


    He knew that since Jun Qiyan had said so, the situation would definitely not be ordinary.


    Di Yeming knitted his eyebrows, his face looking a bit unsightly.


    "Other than that, if they have good talent, we can send them to White City. Where would a tier 8 apothecary be able to help them cultivate there?"


    Out of Jun Qiyan''s astonishment, Di Yaming opened his mouth for a moment, then nodded.


    However, the look in his eyes when looking at Jun Qiyan became more and more complicated.


    After giving out the instructions, Jun Qiyan and the others returned to White City.


    "We''ll leave tomorrow. Gu Yao, are you going?"


    Jun Qiyan asked after glancing at Gu Yao.


    Gu Yao was silent for a moment, before he smiled and said, "You''ve all left. What should we do with White City?"


    Jun Qiyan opened her mouth, wanting to say that there was Lin Hu and the rest, but seeing Gu Yao''s smile, she did not speak. She only nodded her head and said: "Sure, I will leave Tao Wu behind in White City."


    Ten thousand years ago, this fellow named Tao Wu had come into contact with the Dragon clan. Furthermore, he had eaten them.


    The dragon race was a united race to begin with. If they let Tao Wu go, who knows, they might even think it was a war!


    Gu Yao nodded his head. She seemed to want to say something to Jun Qianyan, but the myriad of words stuck in his throat as he finally said, "Be careful along the way."


    Jun Qiyan and the others smiled and nodded.


    When Jun Qianyan was about to leave, Jun Xuanfeng and the others didn''t say that they were going to the Dragon clan; they only said that they had matters to attend to outside.


    They arrived at the edge of the Eastern Profound Continent.


    As Jun Qianyan and the rest looked at the endless sea, everyone turned to look at Di Mo Jiu.


    "The dragon race is just heading north from here."


    Di Mo Jiu said in a deep voice, looking at the endless ocean, no one knew what he was thinking.


    "I have a spacetime scroll here that can help you get there."


    Space-time Scrolls were rare magical equipment, and when necessary, the body could protect itself.


    "We can also go by boat." Feng Chenlang glanced at the Time Scroll and gulped. He had never seen a magic tool like the Time Space Scroll in his life before.


    However, as the Demon Lord, Di Mo Jiu would at least have some life-saving magical equipment with him.


    It wasn''t surprising that he had a spacetime scroll.


    "By boat? Are you planning on going back and forth for eight to ten years? "


    Di Mo Jiu raised his eyebrows and asked.


    Feng Chenlang was surprised. He didn''t expect the journey to the Dragon Clan to be so far.


    "Hehe, then don''t stand on ceremony, line up." Feng Chen Lang turned around and spoke to the few people behind him without even thinking.


    Everyone: "..."


    Space-time Scrolls could reach any place you wanted. In just a few moments, they had arrived at a place that was completely foreign to them.


    Looking at the scene before them, everyone was silent.


    Behind them was the endless sea.


    In front of him, thick smoke was billowing. Dragon roars and dragon roars could be heard incessantly.


    "We... We didn''t go to the wrong place, right? "


    Feng Chen Lang looked at the scene before him and blinked his eyes. His voice couldn''t help but start to tremble.


    What a joke, the battle strength of the dragon race is comparable to that of the god race!


    If they weren''t careful, they would have probably been trampled to death.


    Wasn''t the dragon race known for their solidarity and friendship?


    Who could tell them what was going on?


    "There shouldn''t be... However, should we... Run? "


    A rarely seen look of fear appeared in the eyes of Jing Ji. As the sound of his voice faded, a three-foot-tall dragon collapsed onto the ground.


    The ground trembled from the impact.


    Behind that enormous dragon was an eight-winged golden dragon covered with golden scales, its eyes crimson and its appearance ferocious.


    Golden Dragon was looking at the invaders with an unfriendly expression.


    For some reason, a strong sense of sadness rose in Jun Qiyan''s heart.


    She walked forward step by step, her slender hands lightly attaching the scales of the golden dragon.


    Feng Chenlang and the rest held their breaths as they wished that they could knock out Jun Feiyan and chase him away. Did she not want to die!?


    Feng Chen''s words were true, but they were stopped by Di Mo Jiu.


    He looked doubtfully at Di Mo Jiu, not knowing what he meant by that. Your wife didn''t come back while she was courting her own death, and yet you didn''t stop her?


    Facing Feng Chen Lang''s puzzled eyes, Di Mo Jiu slightly shook his head.


    When the golden dragon saw that this tiny human dared to come close to it, it let out a low cry, seemingly as a warning.


    Jun Qiyan stroked the hard scales of his armor, an indescribable grief and indignation gushed out from her heart as large tears began to fall from her eyes.


    Seeing Jun Qiyan in such a state, everyone couldn''t help but be dumbfounded.


    There was only one person, Di Mo Jiu, who was looking at the situation in front of him. There wasn''t a single ripple on his face, as if everything was as it should be.


    "This will be beneficial to your injuries." Jun Qiyan realized that she had lost her composure and quickly wiped away her tears. She took out a Grade Nine Blood Coagulation Pill from the space between them.

 C297

    Jun Qiyan smiled with malice in her eyes.


    Feng Chenlang and the others looked at the smiling expression on Jun Qiyan''s face and knew that this woman was up to no good!


    "What''s your plan now?"


    For some reason, an ominous premonition arose in Feng Chenlang''s heart.


    "Since that old thing is addicted to beauties, we can seduce him!"


    As soon as the word "seduce" came out, Di Mo Jiu, who had his eyes closed the whole time, arrived at Jun Qiyan''s face with an almost heaven defying speed. He put on a smile on her collar and asked, "You dare?"


    Lust? Do you think she''s dead?


    Seeing her beautiful face so close to him, Jun Qianyan couldn''t help but swallow her saliva. She chuckled and said, "You, don''t be so nervous. Of course it''s not because I''m trying to seduce you!"


    Everyone was a bit stupefied by Jun Qianyan''s words.


    Jun Qiyan''s gaze fell upon Feng Chen Lang with ill intentions.


    Feng Chen Lang suddenly felt his chrysanthemum becoming taut. Why did he feel that his chrysanthemum was about to fall apart?!


    "You, what are you trying to do?!"


    Even Bai Jian Chen and the others in the capital could not help but have their complexions turn a little ugly after they seemed to have understood Jun Qianyan''s plan.


    There was only the little gold dragon by his side that was completely muddle-headed.


    "Hehe, you guys, just sacrifice yourselves!" Jun Qiyan pulled Feng Chen Lang, who wanted to take the opportunity to escape, and stuffed a medicinal pill into his mouth without a second thought.


    "Jun Qiyan! What the f * ck did you give me to eat?! " Feng Chenlang was probably really angry as he called out his surname.


    Jun Qiyan blinked.


    Everyone used an extremely terrifying gaze to look at Feng Chen Lang. The only thing they saw was that Feng Chen Lang''s voice gradually became sharper.


    His face turned pale as he looked at his lower body with fear.


    "It''s okay, it''s okay." Feng Chenlang heaved a sigh of relief. However, before he could even catch his breath, he almost suffocated to death. One could see Feng Chenlang''s chest expanding at a visible rate.


    Without hesitation, he ran to the pool outside the cave and looked at himself in the mirror. The girl above the water had red lips and white teeth, and her pair of big, watery eyes were filled with fear.


    If this girl was on the street, he would definitely go up and chat with her. However, this didn''t mean that he wanted to be the one to be hit by her!


    Feng Chen Lang aggressively arrived in front of Jun Qianyan, and fiercely looked at the main culprit.


    "You, you, you, you turn me back!" Feng Chenlang was simply about to cry. If he was like this, how could he meet anyone in the future?!


    To the side, the fearless Ji Bai could not help but pinch Feng Chen Lang''s "chest" before coming to a conclusion.


    "Hmm, the feel is pretty good!"


    "Beijing''s Ji Bai, I''ll force your grandpa!"


    This was something intolerable! He had already become like this, yet this bastard was still looking at him with a joke!


    Jun Qiyan raised an eyebrow and comforted him, "Don''t panic. The medicinal effects are only effective for three days."


    Jun Qiyan said with a beaming smile. He didn''t feel that there was anything crazy about his actions at all.


    "Are you a demon?" Feng Chenlang looked at Jun Qiyan with a face full of grievance. His eyes, when paired with his own face, made him look just like a vexed little daughter-in-law!


    "What if those old perverts take a fancy to me when I''m like this!"


    Feng Chenlang''s face was filled with grievance. He wanted to smash his head into a wall, let alone an old pervert, even he himself would want to kill himself if he saw this kind of appearance, okay?!


    Jun Qiyan was silent for a moment before he suddenly sighed. "I believe you can protect your own chrysanthemum!"


    "Scram!" Feng Chen Lang roared.


    Everyone in the cave was laughing so hard that they were out of breath.


    In the end, Feng Chenlang lowered his proud head to Fate, but with the mindset of dying together, Feng Chenlang forcefully fed the pill to Jing Ji Bai, Ye Changsheng, and the others.


    Jun Qiyan was satisfied with the rare "great beauty" in front of him.


    "Come on, laugh for me! I''ll reward you handsomely!" After he finished, he laughed like a ghost, and his eyes were filled with resentment.


    Amongst the three of them, Jing Ji Bai''s figure was the hottest. He had a curvy body, and even Jun Qiyan felt ashamed of herself when she saw his figure.


    Ye Changsheng looked like the little sister next door, his face bashful and scarlet. If it weren''t for the fact that he knew that this was the Feng Chen Wave, Ye Changsheng and Ji Bai, Jun Qianyan would have even wanted to carry them back home.


    "I believe you will be selected!"


    Looking at the people in front of him, Jun Qianyan couldn''t help laughing out loud.


    When the few of them saw that the trench was devoid of humanity, their teeth immediately began to itch with hatred.


    Jun Qiyan innocently blinked as he patted them on the shoulder in a comforting manner. The mischievous smile on the corner of his mouth couldn''t help but cause everyone to secretly clench their fists.


    Please be a man!


    The mood of the three of them could be considered as rather emotional, but they didn''t dare to say anything. What was going on? Do you want to go up for a beating? Other than spoiling it, what else could he do!


    Jun Qiyan turned to look at Xiao Jin Long and asked, "Is the aesthetics of your Dragon race good enough to see them?"


    Jun Qiyan was afraid that there was a certain disparity between the aesthetic standards of the dragon race and that of the human race, so he turned to look at Xiao Jin Long and asked.

 C298

    Xiao Jin Long nodded. The dragon race''s aesthetic standards were similar to humans, but the dragon race wasn''t as beautiful as humans.


    Not to mention Feng Chenlang and the rest, they were considered one of the best even amongst the human race. If they were to be placed in the dragon race, they would definitely be of the highest quality.


    She quickly disguised Feng Chenlang and the others as members of the dragon race, and even made the little divine dragon spit out a few dragon breath on their bodies to ensure that they were absolutely safe before leaving the cave. At this time, it was already as bright as day outside.


    Di Mo Jiu, on the other hand, went back to Jun Feiyan''s Nuwa Stone in order to avoid being discovered. He secretly observed and waited for Jun Qiyan to show his skills when he was in danger.


    In order to not be suspected, Jun Qianyan had specially disguised himself as Feng Chenlang and the others, and had left his hometown. He was behaving like three impoverished young girls while Jun Qianyan disguised as his maids, waiting for them to enter the palace together.


    The territory of the dragon race was extremely large. With the help of the little gold dragon, they arrived at the center of the dragon race, which was also known as the living quarters of Hu Wei.


    After finishing all the preparations, the little divine dragon went to hide in the Nuwa Stone.


    "Ai, where do you think we should go find a good-looking dragon girl?"


    "Exactly, it''s not like we don''t know what dragons look like!"


    "What can happen? All of you, shut up. If not, you might not even know how you died!"


    A group of soldiers passed by. Jun Qiyan and the others looked at each other. He fell down in front of the group.


    The capital''s Ji Bai was dressed in red, vividly displaying his good figure. Ye Changsheng, on the other hand, was dressed in a jade green dress.


    "Elder sister, what''s wrong!"


    Beijing''s Ji Bai was the first to walk out. He held Feng Chen Lang in his arms and looked at the unconscious Feng Chen Lang with a face full of ''fear''.


    Feng Chen Lang''s eyes were tightly shut, but his body was trembling imperceptibly ¡ª he was holding it in.


    That''s right, looking at Feng Chenlang''s expression, which showed that he wanted to laugh but didn''t dare to, Jun Qiyan really wanted to kick him out of the ring.


    Can you have a bit of professionalism?


    Beijing''s Ji Bai was still deep in thought as he said, "Elder sister, you haven''t eaten for only three days, how did you faint? We traveled thousands of miles to get here, so you must hold on! "


    Jun Qiyan: "?"


    She asked to return the goods! She was going to complain!


    The prearranged lines were not like this!


    No matter how Jun Qiyan secretly shouted at Ji Bai and the others, they could not hear him. Ye Changsheng, on the other hand, sobbed softly on the side.


    Jun Qiyan covered his face and did not dare to look. He was already prepared to release the Taotie and fight to the death with them.


    Just as Jun Qiyan was about to be done for, a guard noticed the situation over here and slowly walked over.


    "Hey, what''s going on with you guys?" The guard at the side narrowed his eyes and used the weapon in his hand to poke at the Feng Chen Lang on the ground.


    On the other hand, Beijing, Ji Bai and the others said with a sad face, "We came from the distant east ¡­"


    Hearing Ji Bai''s words, Jun Qiyan almost fell to the ground.


    "It came from the east ¡­"


    "I heard they just had a famine."


    "I heard that there are many beauties in the east!"


    Several dragons lowered their voices, thinking that they could not be heard.


    "Ahem, you guys are from the east."


    One of them lightly coughed, and couldn''t help but peek at Ji Bai. No wonder they were like this, these people were all grown up and were all bachelors until now.


    Jing Ji Bai could feel the gazes of those people. He resisted the urge to hit those people and squeezed his eyes with all his might. The corner of his mouth started to occasionally sob.


    "We three sisters brought along a maid. After travelling for such a long distance, we wanted to come here and find a good family to marry to."


    As he spoke, he wiped his tears away with a handkerchief. His eyes couldn''t help but drift towards those dragons.


    At this moment, the thoughts of the two dragons all fell onto Ji Bai''s body. With each of them crying, these few people''s hearts were about to break.


    Had he found a good family to marry?


    They looked at each other. Of the three girls, one each!


    When they saw the guards'' expressions, they suddenly had a bad premonition.


    As they were discussing, a guard walked over.


    "Boss!" When the three dragons saw who it was, they respectfully greeted him.


    That person took a glance at the three people lying on the ground and said with squinted eyes, "Are these the three people you brought to participate in the talent show?"


    The three dragons thought that the situation was bad. This talking duck was about to run away!


    However, they did not dare to say that they were from the same family. Those who were unmarried had their own records. If people were to find out that they had hidden beauties, their heads would fall off.


    The few of them could only nod their heads stiffly.


    Even Feng Chen Lang, who was lying on the ground, pretended to have just woken up.


    "Good sister." Feng Chenlang squinted his eyes and pretended to be weak.


    The man frowned. What was going on? He might not even last one night like this!


    However, his appearance was of a superior quality. "Quickly find some food for them and then let them participate in the elective training.


    The three soldiers quickly nodded their heads and found a place for Feng Chenlang and the others to stay.


    Although the dragon race did not like humans, they did not hate the food and living habits of humans.


    "You guys can stay here. Someone will be bringing you to the main hall tomorrow."


    The three guards were still preoccupied with their departure.


    When everyone saw that they had finally muddled through, they immediately let out a sigh of relief.


    Jun Qiyan couldn''t help but want to make fun of their acting skills.


    However, they were sent away by these people, who had been wearing women''s outfits for a whole day and were physically and mentally exhausted.


    The next morning, several palace maids brought Jun Qiyan and the others out.


    The few of them were first pulled away from their levels. In front of Feng Chenlang, there was a little girl who was crying non-stop. Feng Chenlang could not bear it any longer.


    "Sister, why are you crying?" Feng Chenlang sized up the person in front of him. He thought that this girl could only be considered delicate and pretty. She would definitely be inconspicuous if she was placed in the Eastern Xuan Continent.


    The girl glanced at Feng Chen Lang and cried even more fiercely.


    Feng Chen Lang was a little dumbfounded. Was he making her cry?!

 C299

    Seeing that his sister was crying so bitterly, Feng Chen Lang didn''t know what to do.


    "I said don''t cry ¡­" Old sister, what do you want to talk to me about ¡­ Sister said! " Feng Chenlang originally wanted to say big brother, but when he thought about his current appearance, the words that came out of his mouth became big sister.


    That chick was called Ning Xuanyan. Hearing Feng Chenlang''s words, she cried even harder and buried her face in his chest, crying until she was out of breath.


    Feng Chenlang''s entire body froze. Back then, when he was unaware of Jun Qianyan''s gender, he had never been so close to anyone. Furthermore, it was a girl.


    That girl cried for a long time before she rubbed her red eyes and said while gasping for breath, "I-I was robbed by them. My fiance is still at home."


    As the girl spoke, she felt even more wronged and wanted to cry.


    "Also ¡­" And I heard that the current Chi Wei is extremely savage, and the women he was lucky to meet were all carried out the next day. "


    As Ning Xuanyan spoke, it was as if she could see her future fate. She wanted to cry loudly, but she knew that there were countless soldiers supervisors here.


    Feng Chenlang furrowed his brows, then patted his sister''s shoulder in consolation and said: "Don''t worry. You''re so ugly. With us here, she won''t touch you."


    If these words were said in the Eastern Xuan Continent, he would probably be beaten to death.


    However, if he was in the Dragon Clan''s Imperial Palace, the meaning behind his words would be completely different. He would simply be a savior of the sect. Sure enough, Feng Chenlang''s words were no different. The young girl''s face was immediately filled with the radiance of Wings of Hope. In the beginning, even when Feng Chen Lang called her ugly, he didn''t care.


    "Is that true?" No matter what, the palace was not a place for food and clothing. If she was not blessed by that person, then she would not be that miserable.


    "But isn''t this a little bad?" That little sister couldn''t help but feel sorry for him. This big sister was really good at living. If she were to be ruined like this ¡­


    Thinking up to here, Ning Xuanyin couldn''t help but feel a little reluctant in her heart.


    Feng Chen Lang was moved in his heart. Look at that little sister! In comparison, the actions of Jun Qiyan were simply insane!


    "It''s okay, sister, I was born to protect you pure girls!" Feng Chenlang puffed up his chest as he said this.


    Behind him, Jun Qianyan could no longer bear to listen. This fellow was truly outrageous. Even changing into a woman''s outfit, he was still picking up girls!


    Feeling the piercing pain coming from his waist, Feng Chenlang smiled in embarrassment as he said, "What''s going to happen soon?"


    When the girl heard this, she hurriedly turned around.


    Feng Chenlang glared at Jun Qiyan with a bit of resentment. His gaze seemed to indicate that he wanted Jun Qiyan to be a bit more gentle.


    Jun Qiyan, on the other hand, rolled his eyes. Did he know what it meant to die from talking too much?


    After they finished recording, the few of them came to the talent show stadium. The talent show here was similar to the one in the East Xuan Continent, with Jia Wei and Tao Tie sitting on the main seat.


    Tao Yin held a cup of tea in his hand as he looked at the crowd below with eyes full of disdain. He had to admit that no matter who it was, no matter which race, no wife would choose a concubine for their husband.


    This Tao Er was no exception, he looked at the crowd below and wished that they could tear them into pieces, a bunch of little bitches!


    Geng Wei stared at the many beauties, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets. He especially looked at Feng Chen, Langjing, Whiteleaf, and the others.


    "Where did you find a concubine this time? "Come and let me reward you heavily!"


    Seeing his husband''s soul being almost sucked away by this little demoness, Tao Liang suddenly felt somewhat unwilling. He had accompanied her for so many years and finally walked to her position.


    In the end, he stayed in the harem instead of going to court all day!


    Tao Shuang sneered and said sarcastically: "You have to be careful, if you wipe your eyes and look good, there''s definitely a problem with your background. If we, the Long Family Patriarch, can''t pick you out, then wouldn''t it be a problem if three people appeared all of a sudden?"


    Tao Yin''s words caused Feng Chenlang and co. to feel anxious. This old demoness ¡­


    Ye Changsheng was the first to react. He was born weak, and upon hearing Tao Miaoyu''s words, he immediately felt greatly wronged.


    She covered her eyes with a handkerchief and sobbed, "What does pottery mean? We sisters have a clean background, but we are refugees from the east. We only want to find a place in the palace where we can enjoy a meal.


    "Can''t such a simple request be fulfilled? "In that case, we sisters might as well die!"


    When Ye Changsheng said this, he wanted to run into a wall and prove his innocence.


    Although Ye Changsheng and the others had never been to the harem, they had grown up in an aristocratic family. Whether it was their father''s concubine or someone else''s, they had watched countless battles.


    As for the dragons, they were a group of species with thick nerves. They didn''t have much brains, let alone the fact that they couldn''t understand the twists and turns between women.


    Between the two of them, Ye Changsheng really wanted to smash his head against the wall, so much so that even Tao Tie could not help but be stunned. "You, you little slut ¡­"


    Qi Wei''s heart was already in pain. He took a step forward and stopped Ye Changsheng, then he angrily looked at Tao Yin.


    "I didn''t expect you to be such a intolerable woman! Get back to your room! My permission is not to take even half a step! "


    Tao Shuang was completely stunned. It''s not like she didn''t say that before, most of those talent shows would go back with him and suddenly encounter someone who was about to cry and die at any moment. He really couldn''t take it anymore.


    But since he had already left his orders there, there was no way he would not follow them.


    Tao Yin pointed at Ye Changsheng and did not say anything for a long time. It was obvious that he was extremely angry, but in the end, he was forcefully pushed back by the guards.


    The capital''s Ji Bai was also dumbstruck by this scene. He calmly gave Ye Changsheng a thumbs up. Normally, he would not have known that this fellow, Ye Changsheng, actually had such a trick up his sleeve!


    When Jia Wei saw that Ye Changsheng was'' unconscious'', he immediately felt his heart ache.


    He hurriedly had his guards carry Ye Changsheng into the palace.


    He then looked around before his gaze landed on Ji Bai, who was in the capital.


    Chi Wei looked like a middle-aged man. He was short and ugly, but it didn''t look bad on her at all. Because of the middle-aged man''s fattening appearance, he looked extremely fat.


    The lustful gaze landed on Ji Bai.


    Even though the two of them were trying their best to suppress their disgust, wishing that they could beat the crap out of them. Why were they still trying to do this at such a young age!?


    "You two beauties, I will arrange everything properly."


    His greasy eyes fell on Ji Bai of Feng Chen Lang Jing.


    The two of them laughed dryly. Ji Bai pretended to be bashful and said, "Chenqie has another request."


    Chi Wei''s eyes almost went wide. He heard a request and answered without thinking, "Don''t even mention a single request, even if there were ten or a hundred, I would still agree to it ¡­" "As long as you serve This King well tonight ¡­"


    "Chenqie, you want this woman to be my maid!" Jing Ji Bai gave her a coquettish glance as he spoke. He pretended to be wronged and pouted. "This woman is an old acquaintance of mine. He has been bullying me since he was young ¡­"


    At this point, Hu Wei finally understood.


    She immediately waved her hand and said boldly, "Don''t even mention making him your maid, even if I killed him, I would not blame you in the slightest!"


    Jia Wei first looked at Jun Qiyan''s beautiful appearance, and then repeatedly agreed. A cold light flashed across Jing Ji Bai''s eyes when he heard that. But, he had concealed it well, and hadn''t been discovered by anyone.


    "He doesn''t want to be so bloody. Although he bullied me since he was young, I still have to remember our hometown so I will let him live."


    Beijing''s Ji Bai''s words were full of sincerity. He immediately nodded his head and couldn''t help but shout in his heart, ''Such a kind girl exists in this world!''


    "You''re called Ji Bai, right?"


    Jia Wei sighed and said, "This King, Ji Bai, will definitely treat you well in the future."


    Ji Bai pretended to be moved.


    Chi Wei had someone arrange a place for him to stay, and Jun Qianyan had also been brought over by Jing and Ji Bai.


    In the end, only Feng Chen Lang remained.


    "Your Majesty, I''m not as good at speaking as the other two. I only hope that Your Majesty can give me a place to settle down."


    Feng Chen Lang lowered his head, and didn''t look straight into her eyes. She was afraid that she wouldn''t be able to resist smashing into his face. What kind of thing would dare to think of his sister!?


    Feng Chen Lang did not realize that he had already completed a very dangerous task and brought himself into a woman''s position.


    "Rest assured, you three sisters have traveled thousands of miles to reach this place from the east. I will definitely treat you well."


    Chi Wei said solemnly.


    The talent show ended just like that. The rest of the people sent people to dismiss them without even looking at them.


    Night gradually descended. Due to being guarded by guards, Beijing''s Ji Bai, Feng Chenlang and co. were not gathered together. They also did not know who would be attending to them tonight.


    The darkness of the night gradually grew darker. From the side of the capital''s Ji Bai, he received a notice from the guards: The king wants them to go to bed tonight!


    Ji Bai and Jun Qiyan looked at each other, wondering if they should kill someone for their treasure.


    However, that old fellow was an eight-winged golden dragon. It was said that he was a side branch, but the strength of an adult eight-winged golden dragon was not to be underestimated.


    Moreover, Tao Shuang was also an eight-winged Golden Dragon, and the battle strength of these two people was absolutely terrifying.


    Therefore, the two of them decided to let Ji Bai sacrifice his beauty to steal from Jun Qiyan.


    The maidservant followed him, quickly arriving at his residence.


    However, after seeing the people in the room, both Jun Qianyan and Ji Bai felt that if their mouths had water, they would definitely spew it out. The two people in the hall were none other than Feng Chenlang and Ye Changsheng.


    When the two of them saw Jun Qiyan and Ji Bai, they were obviously shocked as well.


    This old guy wants to play 4P?


    The crowd could not help but be shocked because they were afraid that someone was monitoring them from the main hall. They did not dare to speak and exchanged glances.


    "If not, I would have fainted straight away!" Feng Chen Lang was the person who could not be accepted. It was no wonder why he could play so early.


    Everyone rolled their eyes at her when they heard her words.


    "If you''re prepared to throw your life away, don''t drag us down with you."


    Jun Qiyan said without making a sound.


    Feng Chenlang also realized that this plan of his would never work. He actually wanted to knock the other party out and steal something from his territory? If you are so capable, why don''t you ascend to the heavens?


    Just as their eyes were communicating with each other, Jing Wei walked in and looked at all the beauties in the room. He was suddenly in a great mood and his eyes lingered on them. That lustful look of his made everyone want to smash his head.


    However, Jia Wei didn''t realize this and smiled. He was still in a good mood as he said, "If you serve me well, then I''ll reward you."

 C300

    Even though everyone wanted to smash his dog head, this was someone''s territory, so people had no choice but to lower their heads.


    The group could only smile and say, "Wei Wei, do you want us sisters to serve you together?"


    The one who spoke was Feng Chenlang. If one were to listen carefully, one would be able to hear the gnashing of teeth in his voice.


    Jia Wei narrowed his eyes and nodded. "This King really can''t think of anything. You three should be lucky to have one. In order to not let the few of you think this King is biased, you three should attack together."


    It was as if the three of them had been given a great gift to serve him together.


    Ji Bai laughed dryly. She turned around and walked in front of Chi Wei flirtatiously. She blinked her eyes and said, "Actually, the three of us have been looking up to you for a long time."


    Ji Bai''s eyes were like silk, like that of a demoness.


    Jun Qiyan looked at them until his nose was about to bleed. These people were truly secretive!


    He knew how to pick things up even better than a woman who was a master!


    As a man, it was too much of a pity. Jun Qiyan sighed inwardly.


    Jia Wei laughed three times, waiting for Ji Bai''s next words.


    Jing Jibai took out a handkerchief as if he was performing a magic trick, and slightly shook it in the air.


    Chi Wei squinted his eyes and closed them lightly. Then, his clumsy body collapsed without any warning.


    Seeing that there was no response, everyone was in a good mood.


    Feng Chen Lang unceremoniously kicked the unconscious Chi Wei and coldly snorted: "You want to sleep with me too? Pui! You still want to sleep with my sister? Why don''t you take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror! "


    Ye Changsheng heard the faint voice say, "Who''s your sister?" If you don''t play too much, you might not be able to. "


    Feng Chenlang was stunned at first, but after a moment, he awkwardly said: "Brother."


    Everyone rolled their eyes at him.


    "Alright, let''s hurry and find Tears of Dragon!" Jun Qiyan looked at the bickering crowd and laughed.


    Only then did everyone hurriedly search the room.


    "Didn''t little gold dragon say she was that close to me?" After a long while, they still could not find Dragon''s Tears. Feng Chenlang could not help but ask.


    Jun Qiyan narrowed her eyes, but didn''t say anything. She had a nagging feeling that something was amiss.


    "It would be suspicious if it was that easy to find out." Jun Qiyan said with a frown.


    The others nodded. If they had found Tears of Dragon so easily, they would have done so deliberately.


    "Then what should we do with this guy?"


    Feng Chen Lang kicked Chi Wei, who was lying on the bed.


    Jun Qiyan raised an eyebrow. "Of course it''s to fake the traces of a Spring Festival Gala!"


    When the few of them heard this, they smiled maliciously.


    They had been unhappy with this guy for a long time, so they didn''t hold back anymore. They pinched his fingers and hammered him again. After a while, his fat body was covered with bruises and purple marks.


    "Speaking of which, your Second Master Jing really can find anything. What are you using?"


    When Feng Chenlang saw that there was still no reaction from the other party, he immediately felt amused.


    Beijing''s Ji Bai glanced at Feng Chenlang and replied, "That''s right, that''s right. We, the profiteers, are just that powerful."


    Beijing''s Ji Bai said with a smile, "Don''t worry, this is a special kind of knockout drug. This guy won''t wake up until late in the morning. Furthermore, he''ll even have a night''s worth of pleasure and memories!"


    Ji Bai''s words completely piqued Jun Qianyan''s curiosity. Why hadn''t she heard of any kind of knockout medicine that would make people feel like it was a Spring Festival Gala?


    "Where did you get this?"


    Jun Qiyan asked.


    Jing Ji Bai only blinked his eyes and said mysteriously, "I won''t reveal the business opportunity, do you understand?"


    As he finished speaking, he lightly knocked on Jun Qiyan''s head.


    After cleaning up Qi Wei, Jun Qiyan and the others were comfortably lying on the bed, ready to go to bed. The bed was large enough to accommodate three people.


    Feng Chenlang and the others who were currently female did not think much about it.


    However, Feng Chenlang and the others didn''t feel that bad.


    Furthermore, Jun Qiyan was still viciously pinching Ji Bai''s chest.


    Ji Bai felt his entire body shudder. She looked at Jun Qiyan with a smile that was not a smile. Then, she turned around to trap her. She whispered, "Are you interested in me?"


    Jun Qiyan''s old face reddened.


    This is against the rules!


    "You, let go of me!"


    Jun Qiyan threatened, but was obviously of no use.


    "When I''m done, I''m not responsible?"


    Jun Qiyan could not help but find it funny. She slapped Kai Jing and Ji Bai, "Sleep well!"


    Even though Jing Ji''s expression was slightly gloomy, he still rolled to the side in the end.


    Jun Qiyan had already subconsciously brought these people into her "protective circle."


    However, he didn''t want to see it.


    Finally, he smiled bitterly ¡­


    Jun Qiyan didn''t have much of a reaction as he slept until the next day.


    As for Chi Wei, he slowly woke up. In order to avoid being discovered, Jun Qiyan had already placed him on the bed and pushed him behind the barrier.


    After he slowly woke up, his expression was sluggish. He couldn''t recall what happened last night, but his body told him that she and the beauty had indulged for the whole night.


    She looked at the three shy people beside her and rubbed her head. She suppressed her voice and said, "Last night, we ¡­"


    Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Feng Chen Lang. Feng Chen Lang shyly pushed Qing Wei and said: "You''re annoying! "Damn it!"


    Jia Wei swallowed all the words that he was about to say.


    "Good!" I will reward you in layers! "


    Zhi Wei''s mood was great. He originally wanted to warm up with Feng Chenlang and the others, but with the words "spare them", Feng Chenlang had thoroughly ordered him to let them go.


    When they returned to their rooms, they went out in the afternoon to show their satisfaction.


    In the afternoon, Jun Qiyan and the others began to walk around the room.


    A woman with a big belly looked at Jun Qiyan and the others, and suddenly felt extremely unhappy in her heart.


    Regardless of which race it was, women would always subconsciously hate women that were more beautiful than themselves.


    Feng Chen Lang and the rest were innocently lying on the ground.


    "Yo, isn''t this the king''s new pet?"


    This sour tone of his caused Jun Qiyan and the others to set their gazes on the woman.


    "Heard


    Yesterday, the king wanted the three of you to go to bed? " The woman was not beautiful, and in fact, she was somewhat ugly. Every word she spoke was sharp.


    "I''m really envious of you two sisters. Men should all share the same thing. This is a blessing that ordinary people do not have!"


    As he spoke, he started to look at Feng Chen Lang and the others.


    This kind of sarcasm and ridicule could already be considered a very brilliant method in the Dragon clan. However, in the eyes of Jun Qiyan and the others, it simply didn''t catch their attention.


    To them, it wasn''t even a physical damage!


    When the woman saw that Jun Qianyan and the others did not react, her beautiful face suddenly turned purple and red.


    Feng Chen Lang opened his mouth a little and said: "That''s right. Some people who can''t eat grapes call it gluconic acid. It''s really pitiful. You think that you can ascend into the heavens with just your big stomach? "


    Feng Chenlang''s words were truly rude, that person''s face instantly turned purple.


    "This is a stallion seed!"


    Feng Chenlang really wanted to roll his eyes. ''A bastard like that would turn his child into a purebred?'' It was just the ''Heavenly Night''s Feast''!


    However, Feng Chenlang did not say these words out loud.


    "Sister, we don''t need to care about this kind of woman!"


    Jing Jibai shot a glance at that person and felt extremely pitiful. Then, he wanted to take Feng Chen Lang''s arm and walk away.


    Just as everyone was about to leave, a crisp voice interrupted their footsteps.


    He saw that the person who had just arrived was the same person who had recently been taken away by Feng Chenlang and his men ¡­


    Tao Shuang looked at the person in front of her as a cold smile flashed across her lips. She angrily shouted but did not say anything, "You really have the guts, that is a dragon seed, you actually said you are a bastard!"


    Tao Tie had his waist tucked in, looking like he was about to say: "Humph, little bitch, you''ve finally let me find a weakness!"


    Jun Qiyan sneered, "Our Miss doesn''t mean that way. It was you who said ''bastard''."


    "To think that Jun Qianyan and the others would be so shameless. Tao Shuang was so angry that he couldn''t utter a word for a long time."


    "That''s what you guys are saying!"


    "I know that you don''t like us, Princess, but you can''t frame us like this. It''s not good for us to die like this if we find out."


    After Jun Qiyan finished speaking, he even rolled his eyes. He was simply mentioning yesterday''s embarrassing matter in secret.


    This Tao Yin was very jealous. He couldn''t even look at his own husband properly, so he vented his anger on the civilian girl that was snatched back by Wei Wei. The husband and wife duo had caused many innocent girls to suffer.


    Tao Shuang had always been arrogant, but now that Jun Qiyan had made such a mockery of him, he suddenly felt uncomfortable in his heart.


    "In addition, wangfei, you call me a bastard. Those who think you don''t have any disagreements with our young miss, what dissatisfaction do you have with Qi Wei!?"


    Jun Qiyan sneered.


    Tao Lingcun was truly infuriated. He had never suffered such a humiliation in his life before.


    This little bitch actually dared to slander him, and she had a problem with him?


    Tao Yin raised his hand to give Jun Qiyan a slap, but Jun Qiyan narrowed her eyes and said, "You still need to look at your master before you beat up a dog!"


    "At your age, I advise you to be a little more calm, and be careful not to turn into the yellow-faced woman. At that time, even the King won''t bother with you!"


    Jun Qiyan snorted coldly. No matter what, he had lived two lives. He had participated in many battles in the Jun residence, and had participated much more in these battles than those brainless people of the dragon clan.


    The dragon race also had their differences in status. Seeing that this little girl dared to ride on his back, how could he stand her?


    "Shut up!" Tao Shuo roared in anger. He wanted to hit Jun Qiyan without thinking.


    But because of his unique smile, those who didn''t know what they were talking about thought it was funny.


    "Slut!" She originally wanted to withdraw her hand, but she discovered that the opponent''s strength was terrifying.


    "You all ¡­ "You!" Tao Lingcun finally retracted his hand after much difficulty, but he discovered that no matter what he said, a fight couldn''t even compare to the sudden pain in his chest. He couldn''t help but to place all of his resentment onto Wei Wei. "Hmm?"


    If it wasn''t for him, how could he have suffered so much?


    Tao Shuang left behind a pair of eyes filled with hatred, turned around and left with the group of people.


    Jun Qiyan and the others exchanged glances and smiled.


    In the past few days, Jun Qiyan and Xiao Jin Long had looked into the internal affairs of the Dragon Clan. They found out that the ministers who were loyal to Elder Zhao Wei had all been persecuted by him, leaving behind only a few loyal to him.


    They had already been here for two weeks, but they still hadn''t found the whereabouts of Tears of Dragon.


    Today, Jing and Ji Bai arrived at the residence as usual.


    Chiwei was in the middle of a discussion with his ministers when he saw that Ji Bai had arrived. He immediately ignored his ministers and sent them away.

 C301

    Competition for Favour (1)


    Before he left, they even took a deep look at him. Feng Chen Lang''s gaze was basically accusing him of bringing calamity upon the nation and the masses.


    Beijing''s Ji Bai couldn''t help rubbing his nose, thinking that one day, he would also be treated like Su Daji.


    "My beloved concubine, you''re here." Jia Wei looked at Ji Bai with a beaming smile. He pulled her into his embrace and wanted to do something to her.


    Ji Bai''s face stiffened, but he suppressed the disgust in his heart. He broke into a smile. "Tonight, the wangfei has come to find me again ¡­"


    He pretended to be wronged.


    Knowing that Tao Yin and Jing and Ji Bai were not on good terms, he frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice, "Did that woman go to look for trouble with you again?"


    Beijing''s Ji Bai nodded without feeling wronged. "She said ¡­"


    Beijing''s Ji Bai intentionally paused for a bit, then let out a deep sigh. The way he wanted to say something but hesitated made Wei Wei''s heart ache.


    "Just say what you feel aggrieved for. Don''t worry, This King will definitely not let you feel even the slightest bit wronged!" Chi Wei said solemnly.


    However, Jing Ji Bai still pouted and said, "They all said that it was chenqie who seduced you! "Chenqie doesn''t dare to let you stand up for me on the internet anymore. Otherwise, who knows how much gossip there will be in the palace, and the people in charge will drown me to death!"


    "If anyone says anything to you in the future, I will pull his tongue out!"


    It was only then that Jun Qiyan said appropriately, "You don''t know how outrageous those rich people are. They all say that my Young Miss is a hen that can''t lay an egg!"


    Upon hearing this, Wei was instantly enraged.


    "Who said that?"


    Qiyan!" "He let out an angry shout, as if he was extremely angry.


    Jun Qiyan pouted and said, "It was the wangfei''s fault for causing trouble in the first place. Miss, did you do anything wrong?"


    On the other hand, Beijing''s Ji Bai''s face was filled with rage. "I''ve already told you not to speak of it. Is this how I teach you?"


    "But ¡­" Just as Jun Qiyan was about to argue, a grave look appeared on her face. "Well, he''s a loyal protector, so don''t blame him!"


    After that, he turned to the guard at the door and said, "Tell Tao Su to get over here!"


    Qi Wei''s face was filled with rage.


    The guard agreed. Tao Yin had a fiery temper, and seeing that Ye Changsheng and the other two would only go to the capital for a few days, he felt unresigned in his heart. He immediately brought the concubine from the imperial harem to find trouble for Jing Ji Bai.


    But all the people in the whole palace saw it, and sure enough, Tao Linglong came to the main hall with a guilty look on his face.


    He looked at his wife with eyes full of disgust.


    "I didn''t expect you to be such a malicious person!" He pointed at Tao Shuang, but there was no emotion in his eyes. Instead, his eyes were filled with disgust.


    "Your Majesty, you have favoured her for so many days, but there is not the slightest movement from inside her stomach. Am I wrong?" Tao Shuang said with unwillingness.


    Seeing that she did not admit her mistake even when she was in the know position, but instead began to sing the opposite tune to him.


    Without a second word, a slap landed on Long Wangfei''s face. With a crisp sound, the entire hall fell deathly silent.


    Tao Shuang knew that the Dragon King was already tired of him, but he never thought that he would actually make a move on him in the main hall!


    "Zhi Wei!" Long Wangfei''s lips quivered, anger and disbelief in her eyes. "I''ve followed you for hundreds of years, but you actually hit me just for a little slut you''ve only known for a few days! Did your conscience get eaten by a dog?! "


    Dragon King''s heart was originally filled with guilt, but looking at Tao Shuang who was shouting like a mad woman, the pity in his heart had long since disappeared: "You''re the one who spoke rudely first! I don''t think there''s even a need to sit in your position! "


    This sentence was enough to stir up a mess: "Fine, at worst we''ll just die trying to break the net! "Don''t think that I don''t know about what you''ve been doing for the past few years. Let me tell you, I already knew that this would happen!"


    Long Wangfei''s words were full of threats. The Dragon King looked warily at her and asked, "What are you planning to do?"


    "What do I want? It would be better to say what you want to do! You don''t have to care about the relationship between us for so many years, what can I do? "


    "Okay, okay!" The Dragon King was angered to the point that he laughed. "Come and suppress this slut. Without my order, from today onwards, he is not allowed to take even half a step out of the room!"


    Jun Qiyan silently pursed his lips. A dog biting a dog, this was truly a good show!


    It had to be said that today wasn''t the first time they had reaped rewards. Jun Qianyan was fine, but she was sure that the imperial concubine knew the whereabouts of the Dragon King''s Tears. After all, she had followed the Dragon King for so many years.


    That night, when Gu Yao and the rest returned to their rooms, Jun Qianyin quickly made her way through the tiles of the palace like a ghost after she had changed her appearance.


    Jun Qiyan came to sweep the palace''s rooftops. She took down a tile and looked inside with squinted eyes.


    "Princess, it''s a bit inappropriate for you to have a falling out with the king today." Long Wangfei was already ready to go to bed.


    The old nanny beside him was brought from his own home and was his only confidant in all these years.


    Hearing the mama''s words, she couldn''t help but feel a little disapproving. "That old thing doesn''t dare to make a move against me."


    Although the Dragon King had said he had to be grounded, he would usually be able to release him in a few days.


    However, the old mama knitted her brows and said, "Princess, the walls have ears."


    Only after listening to the mama''s reminder did Long Wangfei recover from her shock. She hastily covered her mouth and scouted the area left and right, making sure that nothing had happened before relaxing.


    "You''ve touched a taboo with the Dragon King today. Let them be as arrogant as they like, but you''re the main palace lady and the others are nothing more than mediocre. The Dragon King pampered them for a while, so it doesn''t matter anymore."


    Long Wangfei was a bit dissatisfied. He didn''t think there was anything wrong with what he''d done.


    "It''s all because of that old man... "The Dragon King paid no heed to his many years of friendship ¡­"


    The mama gave Long Wangfei a blaming look, but Long Wangfei only pursed her lips and didn''t continue speaking.


    "My royal consort, you have to know that the king only says what he says. Believe me, as long as you don''t cross her bottom line, nothing will happen to you after too long."


    As the mama earnestly said, Tao Yin was a bit fed up with listening to her. She perfunctorily nodded and said, "I know, you can leave first."


    "Esteemed wangfei, you have to think carefully about what I''ve said."


    "I can''t do it! Can he really do anything about me? Where is Dragon''s Tears? I don''t know if he''s by himself ¡­" "Long Wangfei''s speed of speech is extremely fast. Even though this mama is already one step ahead of her, I''m still done for."


    These words frightened the mama so much that her face changed drastically.


    "Princess!" Mammy''s face could no longer be described as serious.


    Jun Qiyan narrowed her eyes. She couldn''t help but feel that the way this mama was interacting with the wangfei was quite strange. If it was someone else, who would be afraid of a servant?


    Not to mention, it was someone as arrogant as Long Wangfei, someone who was overweeningly arrogant.


    Long Wangfei shrank back and murmured, "I''m sorry."


    This apology caused Jun Qiyan to be even more confused.


    The mama sighed, her face showing a hint of exhaustion. "It''s impossible for an old wangfei to accompany you forever. With your carefree personality, how are you going to get along with the Dragon King in the future?"


    Long Wangfei''s eyes darkened, but she didn''t say anything.


    "This old servant will withdraw now." After she finished, she turned around to leave before affectionately closing the door for Long Wangfei.


    Long Wangfei stayed in her room alone for a long time. Seeing that she couldn''t get any information from them, Jun Qianyan returned to her room.


    "How is it?"


    Jing Jubai asked worriedly when he saw the person.


    Jun Qiyan casually took off his black cloak and poured himself a cup of tea. He then took a deep breath and said, "At least I''ve found something useful."


    Jun Qiyan looked at Ji Bai and said, "Tears of Dragon, Princess Princess Long knows where it is. If there''s no way to break through where the Dragon King is, we can make use of the conflict between the two of them."


    Ji Bai raised his eyebrows. "What do you mean?"


    "The relationship between the Dragon King''s wife and the Dragon King wasn''t reliable in the first place. There must be some enmity between the two of them for such a ruckus to take place today."


    "Tomorrow, we should call Feng Chenlang and the others over. We should discuss what to do next."


    Jun Qiyan said with squinted eyes.


    "Alright."


    Beijing''s Ji Bai nodded.


    On the morning of the second day, Ye Changsheng and Feng Chen Lang secretly went to Ji Bai''s room while no one was looking.


    "What progress did you have in bringing us here today?"


    Feng Chen Lang didn''t beat around the bush and directly asked.


    Jun Qiyan nodded, and began to analyze the current situation, "The current situation is of great benefit to us."


    "Last night, when I was on top of the Dragon King''s Concubine''s roof, I heard from her that he knew the whereabouts of Tears of Dragon. Since the Dragon King can''t be found, we''ll start with Tao Shuang!"


    "Pottery concoction? "That Long Wangfei looks at the three of us as if we''re enemies who killed their parents, she even has thoughts of killing us."


    Ye Changsheng frowned and said, "The conflicts between them are not small."


    If she wanted to make Long Wangfei obediently tell her the whereabouts of Dragon''s Tears ¡­


    Everyone could not help but shake their heads. It was not easy.


    "We did have a grudge with her, but the person she hates the most is still the Dragon King."


    Jun Qiyan lightly said. The crowd couldn''t help but look at her.


    "Changsheng, I can leave this matter to you. Ji Bai and Feng Chenlang are the ones that the Dragon King likes. If I let the grudge in his heart go, it''ll be difficult!"


    "We need to make use of our suffering to turn us into the weaker party and make Princess Long sympathize with us."


    Those sitting around were all smart people. When they heard the story and heard what you had to say, they all felt more or less confident.


    Everyone looked at each other and nodded.


    It had only been a few days, but a shocking piece of news had already exploded in the Dragon Palace ¡ª the new beauty Ye had lost her favour!


    No matter where it was, the harem was a place for gossiping. Anything new that was big enough could be spread like wildfire.

 C302

    "Have you heard? Just a few days ago, the newbie, Beauty Ye, was spoiled! "


    "I heard, I heard that he was pretending to be noble, then angering the king!"


    "That''s right. I heard that the two beauties that came with him are also adding insult to injury!"


    A few palace maids were gathered together, talking excitedly.


    "Pah!" A crisp sound interrupted their conversation.


    The three palace maids began to tremble as they looked toward the source of the voice to see a cyan robed woman kneeling in the forest not too far away.


    This person was none other than Ye Changsheng and the others.


    "Little b * tch, the Dragon King dotes on you. That is your honor!"


    "That''s right. Elder sister, in my opinion, this kind of person who doesn''t know good from bad shouldn''t exist in this world! It''s a waste of air. "


    Ji Bai and Ye Changsheng said to each other, while Jun Qiyan, who was standing beside them with an arrogant and despotic appearance, felt like beating them up.


    This acting! It would be a pity if he didn''t take the Oscars!


    "You are going too far!" Ye Changsheng covered his face, his eyes filled with tears.


    The crowd sneered at Ye Changsheng''s appearance and said, "You?" "He''s just a spoiled concubine, he wouldn''t say anything even if he were in front of me. Who do you think you are!"


    He snorted, his face filled with disdain.


    The conversation between Ye Changsheng and the others was not only heard by the young palace maids, but also by the ''coincidentally'' Dragon Princess, who was passing by not too far away.


    Tao Shuang originally didn''t want to care about the arguments between these few people, but upon hearing Beijing''s Ji Bai''s words, "Even when Princess Long doesn''t want to say anything in front of me ¡­", it became thoroughly popular. Although this was a fact, to be spoken out loud like this made Long Wangfei unable to accept it for a moment.


    "To openly assault the King''s woman in public, you two really have the guts!" Long Wangfei said indignantly.


    When Ye Changsheng saw this person, it was as if he had found a backbone. With tears and snot running down his face, he said, "Esteemed wangfei, you are the lord of an entire palace. You must uphold justice for me!"


    These words from the head of the palace pleased Long Wangfei, who snorted lightly.


    Jun Qiyan suitably tugged on the corner of Ji Bai''s shirt and said, "Miss, now that we''re at the heart of the struggle, let''s go."


    Beijing''s Ji Bai shook off Jun Qiyan and said, "Trash! I''m still afraid of her? "


    After saying this, Jing Jubai''s beautiful eyes lingered between Ye Changsheng and Princess Long Wangfei for a while, but in the end, she still said, "Your luck is good today, let''s go."


    With that, everyone left.


    Seeing that Ji Bai and the others had left, Ye Changsheng began to wail and cry.


    When she heard that, Long Wangfei was upset. She gave a soft, angry shout, "That''s enough! Don''t cry anymore! Can you be any more promising! "


    Ye Changsheng lightly rubbed his nose and said, "Today we have all written the words'' Dragon Princess''s assistance '', but in the future, chenqie is afraid that they still won''t forgive us."


    He cried as he spoke.


    Long Wangfei snorted coldly, her eyes full of hatred. "Those little bastards dare! "With this wangfei here, what are you afraid of!"


    Ye Changsheng submissively said, "If that day you were no longer here, what would happen to chenqie?"


    "Chenqie has nothing else to ask for, it''s like finding a place to settle down beside a wangfei."


    Since Ye Changsheng had already said this much, Long Wangfei didn''t have much to say, so she could only nod her head.


    What she did not see was that the moment she nodded, the corner of Ye Changsheng''s mouth raised into an arc.


    Arriving at the residence of the Dragon King''s Concubine, she gave Ye Changsheng a random living quarters.


    The room was filled with random things. Long Wangfei said, "I don''t have any extra rooms, so you should just take a bit more care with it."


    With that, he left, leaving Ye Changsheng by himself.


    The corner of Ye Changsheng''s mouth couldn''t help but twitch, but he still resigned himself to his fate and began to clean up.


    It wasn''t easy for him to clean up his room in the evening before he was called by Princess Long to do some menial chores.


    This was basically treating him as a maid.


    Ye Changsheng had a smile on his face the entire time, as if all of this was none of his business.


    "Princess, why did you bring her back?"


    A worried cry came from the mama in the room. Long Wangfei looked at herself in the mirror and said indifferently, "I just want to see them bite each other."


    The corners of Long Wangfei''s lips curled up as she spoke.


    The mama frowned, feeling that something was off.


    But looking at her own wife, she didn''t say anything.


    "Go and tell the woman to come over." Long Wangfei said to the maidservants outside.


    The maid replied in a low voice.


    A moment later, Ye Changsheng arrived in front of his. He looked at him and asked, "You really want to rely on me?"


    Ye Changsheng bit his lip and nodded.


    "You must think this through. If you really come to my place, I''m afraid those two bitches will not know how to deal with you. However, looking at their appearances today, even if I don''t come, I''m afraid they will not let you off lightly."


    Long Wangfei''s words were very skillful. Although she was asking Ye Changsheng to consider them carefully, she added the latter half of the sentence, which basically blocked off all of Ye Changsheng''s escape routes.


    "Yeah, even if I go back now, they won''t let me go."


    Ye Changsheng sighed and said.


    She only let Ye Changsheng leave after telling him what was written and what was not written.


    On the morning of the second day, in order to make Princess Long completely believe in Ye Changsheng, Ye Changsheng and Jing and Ji Bai came once more to "meet by chance".


    "I belong to the royal concubine now. You should all know that by slapping me, you are slapping the royal concubine''s face!"


    Ye Changsheng said ''stubbornly''.


    This sentence was heard by many people, and the palace was temporarily divided into two factions.


    From Long Wangfei''s side, Jing Ji Bai gathered quite a bit of information.


    For example, Long Wangfei''s father held great power and was a target of fear for the emperor. The reason why Long Wangfei was able to sit in this position was also related to her parents'' family.


    However, since ancient times, the ministers in charge of military power were the emperor''s targets of fear.


    The Dragon King was no exception. He had always viewed his father-in-law as a thorn in his side, a thorn in his side. He wanted to pull the man out but was afraid of provoking him. This awkward relationship continued just like that.


    Although Long Wangfei''s days weren''t that enjoyable, the two still respected each other like they were each other.


    While Ji Bai was in the palace, he overheard two ministers conversing.


    "I''m afraid that the king will really take action this time. The good days of Tao family are coming to an end!"


    "That''s right, today the king and the Tao family want military power, but he doesn''t give it to them? Isn''t this blatant rebellion!? "


    Another colleague said.


    The capital''s Ji Bai narrowed his eyes. He hadn''t thought that the relationship between the two of them had already deteriorated to such a degree. If things continued like this, even without their interference, the relationship between the two of them would completely collapse.


    He''s just an accelerator.


    The Dragon Princess had been grounded by the Dragon King a few days ago, so she still didn''t know what the situation was like in the imperial court.


    At night, Ye Changsheng had arrived in front of his with an indescribable expression on his face.


    Long Wangfei looked at the person before her with a bit of impatience.


    "Speak quickly if you have something to say. Who are you showing this to?"


    After a moment, Ye Changsheng said, "Chenqie, I don''t know if I should say this or not."


    Long Wangfei was a bit impatient. The restrictions of the past few days had upset him, and he kept having an ominous premonition. "Speak your mind."


    "Chenqie was wandering around the palace today and told the emperor to have the great general hand over the military power. The great general wasn''t willing, so the emperor got angry on the spot ¡­"


    Ye Changsheng did not say much, but he chose the main point and said it once more.


    What was the status of Long Wangfei when she heard this?


    If his problems have implicated his parents, Tao Yin could not say that he was sorry.


    "What did you say?!"


    Long Wangfei''s face was a little pale. Her large eyes stared unblinkingly as she took advantage of the situation.


    Ye Changsheng hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Chenqie only heard that ¡­"


    Although it was just hearsay, Ye Changsheng''s attitude basically told him that this was true.


    In addition to Long Wangfei''s wild thoughts over the past few days, she wandered around the room.


    Finally, he stamped his feet and said, "No way, I will go and ask the king!"


    "No way!" "Esteemed wangfei, don''t forget that you''re still in confinement. If you were to go, could your majesty give us some leeway? Your actions would only make her even angrier."


    "Your Highness only wants a consort who will obey her duty." the nanny reminded him.


    But now Tao Gui couldn''t even hear what Mammy had said.


    She paced back and forth a few times in a slightly irritable manner, and then said angrily: "Be obedient, you''re telling me to be obedient?! Haven''t I done well enough? The dragon race has always been a pair for life, but look at his harem. Look at all these girls, didn''t I just say half a sentence about him? He told me to stay put. Okay, I''ll stay put. He wants to ascend to the throne, my mother did not hesitate to betray the late emperor, and bestowed him with the position of the Ninth Five Sovereign, so that he can become the ruler of the dragon clan, what about him?! "


    "He actually wants to take back the military power to touch our mother''s family? If I were to continue like this, then I am still in this continent, and my Tao Zi has a place? "


    The last part of her sentence was flawed as she shouted out, before she violently pushed open the door.


    The guards at the entrance didn''t have time to react before they were knocked unconscious by Tao Su.


    If she really wanted to escape from here, it would be as easy as flipping her palm. Like he said, the reason why he kept staying here was because he was giving face to the Dragon King.


    Ye Changsheng stood by the side with a smile, and the mama at the side finally felt that something was wrong. He suddenly turned to look at Ye Changsheng, his fierce gaze containing a trace of viciousness.


    "Speak, who are you?"


    Ye Changsheng blinked innocently and said, "I''m the beauty of the Emperor''s palace selection, foam. You really are a noble who forgets too much!"


    After all, the Dragon King has already been in power for more than a hundred years, and little gold dragon is only two hundred years old. According to the age of the dragon race, little gold dragon is still not even an adult yet.


    Those subordinates of hers who were loyal to her in the past were all killed. Even if he was allowed to ascend to the throne now, he might not necessarily be able to win the hearts of others.


    Their goal was to stir up chaos within the imperial government. Afterwards, Xiao Jin Long took the opportunity to appear and turn the tides, trying to subdue people''s hearts.


    At the same time, Jun Qiyan quietly made her way to Tao''s residence. The Tao family did not know that something big had happened in the palace, and just as General Tao was about to fall asleep, the room was blown away by a gust of cold wind. He scrunched his eyebrows, and observed his surroundings. "How come I''m hallucinating ¡­"


    As he spoke, he closed the door. However, when he turned around, he saw a masked man in black sitting on a chair beside the bed.


    "Who are you?" In the end, he was a veteran general. His first reaction upon realizing that the person who came was not to panic, but to interrogate sternly. Even if his strength was weaker, he could not lose to his opponent''s imposing manner.

 C303

    Jun Qiyan chuckled lightly. After his voice had been treated, it became hoarse and unpleasant to listen to.


    "General, do not panic, I am not your enemy."


    Hearing Jun Qiyan''s words, the old general couldn''t help but feel suspicious. He sneered, "If you''re not an enemy, then your excellency is in a good mood. What brings you to this old man''s room in the middle of the night?"


    "The reason I''m here is because we share a common enemy. Do you know how wronged your daughter is in the palace?" Jun Qiyan''s tone was as indifferent as before, but his words caused General Tao''s face to turn pale.


    "You mean Little Flawless?" General Tao was not an upright person, but he loved his daughter as if she were his life. At that time, he also wanted to rebel because he had listened to Tao Shuang''s words.


    Now that he heard that his precious daughter had been wronged in the palace, he naturally couldn''t sit still.


    The dragon race had never remarried before. Today, the dragon king was the first person in millions of years. The people did not despise him because of his actions.


    Of course, General Tao didn''t want to do anything back then, but what was the use? His daughter''s heart and soul were all on him, so she wouldn''t listen to his words at all.


    It was also because of this that the father-daughter relationship between the two had become much stiffer, and also because of Tao Shuang''s personality. Even though he suffered in the palace, he still refused to reveal anything to his family, insisting that he was right.


    Naturally, General Tao also knew his daughter''s personality, so when he heard Jun Qianyan and Jun Qianyan''s words, he didn''t doubt them in the least. He immediately slammed the table and stood up, his square face full of anger.


    "Does the great general want to enter the palace to take a look, being the backing of an imperial concubine?"


    Hearing this, Great General Tao looked at Jun Yunyan doubtfully, and asked, "Who exactly are you? It''s for someone who wants to work with you. "


    Jun Qiyan''s voice gradually faded, "As for whether or not you believe what I say, you can decide for yourself."


    Great General Tao was stunned in place for a long time. She didn''t even know when Jun Qiyan would leave.


    Within the time it took for an incense stick to burn, the small guard had already departed from the Tao family.


    Since he was going to support her, wouldn''t it be too shameful for him to do so?


    Previously, the Dragon King could also be considered a lover who was wholeheartedly devoted to Tao Shuang. But later on, as for why he became like this, no one knew.


    Right now, the Dragon Palace was even more bustling with noise and excitement. The Dragon King''s Concubine rushed into the great hall in a flurry. The Dragon King was flirting with his beloved concubine. This concubine was none other than Beijing''s Ji Bai.


    The corner of Jing and Ji Bai''s mouth raised slightly when they saw the newcomer.


    Her charming voice said, "Elder sister, why have you come here? Isn''t this the same as disturbing the king? "


    "Aiya, that''s not right, I forgot. Elder sister, shouldn''t you be grounded? Why are we here? "


    When he saw the "schadenfreude" in her eyes, Long Wangfei would normally go up and yell irrationally at him. However, he wasn''t in the mood for that. His beautiful eyes were glued to the Dragon King.


    The Dragon King felt extremely uncomfortable under his gaze. He frowned and said, "You''re looking at me with such a gaze, are you trying to rebel? In the middle of the night, do you still have any thoughts of me? I told you to keep your feet, who allowed you to come out! "


    The Dragon King knew that his guards were just decorations and did not give a damn about his wangfei.


    He snapped, "Get the hell back!"


    Long Wangfei scoffed, but for some reason, her eyes seemed very cold.


    "Do you remember how many years I followed you? Do you remember who it was that made you sit on the throne?! Is your conscience eaten by dogs? "


    The word pottery is sharp.


    For some reason, the Dragon King felt somewhat flustered by this stare. However, his heart was filled with anger. It wasn''t that he didn''t feel grateful towards the Tao family. It was just that after a long time, the Tao family still held the military power and refused to hand it over.


    This boost of strength had become a stab in the flesh as a result of his elemental energy attack.


    "Don''t take this to me! It''s already happened a hundred years ago, and after all these years of quarreling, it''s not like you haven''t obtained any benefits from me! "


    The Dragon King swept away all the items on the table, and the crackling sound confirmed his anger. If Tao Shuang mentioned this again and again, it would only make him feel like a waste.


    While the two of them were arguing, Ji Bai, who was watching from the side, sneaked out when they were not paying attention.


    "Don''t talk about things like that? All these years here, you''ve gained a lot? I am really blind, my Tao family followed the late king back in the days when he said this as a form of grievance?! "Fine, fine, fine. After using us all up, you want to kick us away? Let me tell you, Mo Wuji, this is a good thing. If we can help you up, we can ¡­"


    Before he could finish his words, he heard a crisp sound, followed by the sound of something colliding.


    Tao Tie''s body couldn''t help but fly backwards for ten meters. Finally, the bookshelf that was three meters tall crashed onto the floor, and fragments of the bottle fell onto Tao Yin''s body.


    It just so happened to be a coincidence that at this moment, General Tao and his men rushed over and bumped into this scene.


    When he looked at his daughter, who had been a treasure for more than a thousand years, no matter how furious he was, he didn''t dare to touch a single finger of hers. This man actually dared to harm her!


    General Tao quickly stepped forward to help his daughter up.


    Dragon race had strong defense. If it was an ordinary person then they would have vomited three liters of blood. However, if it was a dragon race then their butt would at most hurt.


    However, Tao Shuang was still unable to accept this reality. This was not the first time the Dragon King had hit him, but this time, it had turned into pure violence. It was not because of anyone instigating him but because this person wanted to hit him.


    This was the most unacceptable thing to pottery.


    "How could you be so heartless? He''s your wife!" General Tao glared at her. Just today alone, he had run into such a scene. He didn''t dare to imagine what kind of life his daughter would lead in the palace.


    "I have nothing better to do. Why don''t you explain it to the general and bring troops to the palace in the middle of the night ¡­" Are you trying to rebel!? "


    The Dragon King looked at the three to five soldiers not far away and immediately scolded them angrily. The Tao family was getting more and more presumptuous!


    "Rebel?" General Tao laughed coldly, "I was just trying to rebel!"


    These words were said with pure provocation. As soon as he entered the room, he saw that his daughter had been beaten up. Even though he hadn''t received any real injuries, as a father, how could he just let it go like that?


    "If I had known earlier that you were such a cruel and unscrupulous person, let alone this throne, back then, I should have let the late emperor ¡­"


    Before General Tao could finish his words, his daughter stopped him in his tracks.


    This topic was a taboo to the Dragon King.

 C304

    Only now did General Tao realize what he had said. His expression couldn''t help but turn unsightly.


    When the topic had already changed, there was no way he could just let it go.


    The Jing and Ji Bai who had left without a sound were not going to any other place. Instead, they were going to find the commanders of the Imperial Palace and contact the ministers. They said that the Tao family was going to rebel.


    Although the Dragon King had persecuted the subordinates of the previous Dragon King, but she had been in power for so many years, and the people were in a state of suffering, and the court officials had disliked her. Although everyone was unwilling, she was still the king, and the loyalty of the Dragon clan allowed some people to bring troops to the palace.


    At this moment, the entire Dragon Palace began to be bustling with noise and excitement.


    Many soldiers surrounded him in three laps.


    The three people in the hall had long since become three eight-winged golden dragons.


    They began to fight.


    As for Tao Rao, he was naturally helping his father. Now that things had come to this point, even if he didn''t have any intention of rebelling, this guy would still not let them go.


    The father and daughter duo decided to just leave it at that. As a result, they had to face the current situation.


    When the soldiers arrived at the main hall, they first saw the five soldiers guarding outside the door.


    They looked at each other and rushed forward without waiting for an explanation.


    Jing Jibai observed the farce from the shadows.


    The little gold dragon within the Nuwa Stone took the opportunity to emerge.


    Although the government was in a state of corruption, it was not as if they didn''t have loyal subjects who wholeheartedly wanted to serve the people.


    Xu Fu was a Six-Winged Silver Dragon. He held a portion of the military power in his hands, but because he was admonishing them bluntly, the Dragon King was not happy with him today.


    He had once proposed to spare the direct line of the Eight-winged Golden Dragon. Because of this sentence, his official position was removed and the military power was not withdrawn. It was because of the delay in the Tao family''s'' rebellion ''.


    At this moment, Xu Fu didn''t know that the palace was in a state of chaos, and that he was still sound asleep when little gold dragon knocked on the door and entered.


    "You ¡­" Xu Fu, who was sleeping, suddenly felt a pair of eyes staring at him.


    He shuddered and wanted to scream out loud as he stared at the person beside the bed, but someone held his mouth tightly and he stared at the person in terror.


    Then, with some shock, he said, "You are ¡­"


    Although he did not say the last three words, he knew that the dragon in front of him was the only survivor from the main branch of the Eight-One Golden Dragon.


    "General Xu."


    Xiao Jin Long softly called out.


    Xu Fu''s emotions were incomparably complicated. If he were to shout and let someone capture Xiao Jin Long right now, let alone restore him to his original position, even if he were to soar in the sky, it would still be impossible for him to become the number one noble person on this continent.


    After all, the culprit in front of him was a huge threat to the Dragon King!


    "Now, you should hurry up and leave while no one is watching. I won''t leak out your whereabouts today." After struggling for a while, Xu Fu sighed and said.


    Xiao Jin Long stared at the person in front of him and felt that he did not find the wrong person. "I''ve come to get you to rely on me."


    Upon hearing the words of Xiao Jin Long, Fu Fu couldn''t help but be slightly shocked.


    "Don''t be in such a hurry to deny me. Don''t you want to know why the Eight-winged Golden Dragon lineage perished in the past?"


    These words completely piqued that person''s interest.


    Xu Fu stared fixedly at Xiao Jin Long, feeling that today''s big secret was something he could hear.


    "What do you mean?"


    The current Dragon King had always announced to the outside world that his direct descendant, the Eight-winged Golden Dragon, had died because of some mishap after being killed by the invaders.


    On the other hand, the little gold dragon was the main culprit that seduced humanity.


    At the beginning, this speech shocked the entire continent. Although everyone had some doubts in their hearts, the little gold dragon never appeared. After explaining it in public, it was tacitly recognized as "running away from a crime".


    Thus, the unwarranted crime was placed on the head of the little gold dragon just like that.

 C305

    These words completely piqued that person''s interest.


    Xu Fu stared fixedly at Xiao Jin Long, feeling that today''s big secret was something he could hear.


    "What do you mean?"


    The current Dragon King had always announced to the outside world that his direct descendant, the Eight-winged Golden Dragon, had died because of some mishap after being killed by the invaders.


    On the other hand, the little gold dragon was the main culprit that seduced humanity.


    At the beginning, this speech shocked the entire continent. Although everyone had some doubts in their hearts, the little gold dragon never appeared. After explaining it in public, it was tacitly recognized as "running away from a crime".


    Thus, the unwarranted crime was placed on the head of the little gold dragon just like that.


    But now, the sudden appearance of the little gold dragon had exposed the lies of the past hundred years. Xu Fu could more or less not accept this, and his years of faith had collapsed.


    Xu Fu''s expression when he looked at Little Gold changed.


    The little gold dragon''s golden eyes dimmed a bit, and then he opened his mouth to reveal the truth from that year one by one.


    "You said that the current Dragon King colluded with the humans and then the previous Dragon King ¡­"


    Xu Fu opened his mouth, but did not say the word "unearth".


    The cruel truth was often unacceptable.


    Xu Fu''s eyes were scarlet as he looked at the person in front of him. He did not believe what Xiao Jin Long said at all: "I always thought that since you were still young, there was a misunderstanding about what happened back then. But I never thought that you would be so vicious and slander the Dragon King!"


    Xu Fu said as he stared at the little gold dragon.


    Xiao Jin Long didn''t say anything and continued, "General, you wouldn''t believe me if I told you, but let me ask you, does it mean that every year, many clansmen of my clan go missing?"


    Although the Dragon Tribe''s territory was very big, they were very sparsely populated. Even the most ordinary Dragon Tribe would have their people disappear one after another, which would still attract the attention of the Imperial Court.


    However, they had not been able to find the real reason for the disappearance of the dragon clan. In order to not cause a panic, the imperial government had been trying its best to seal off the news.


    "Our dragon clan''s border is only this big. How can so many clans disappear without a reason?"


    The little gold dragon''s gaze was somewhat deep, and its words could not help but cause people to ponder deeply.


    Xu Fu pursed his lips and said, "Perhaps you joined forces with the humans ¡­"


    Xiao Jin Long couldn''t help but sneer and say, "That group of humans cultivate the forbidden technique, deconstructing the dragon race and humans. If I am with that group of humans, then once I die, I will never be at peace in the underworld!"


    Dragon race''s oath and the Eastern Xuan Continent''s eye were the same, and they paid great attention to the issue of ownership after death.


    When Xu Fu heard Little Gold Dragon say this, the doubt in his heart gradually lessened.


    "Look at this."


    The little gold dragon handed over the crystal ball in his hand to Xu Fu. Xu Fu looked at the crystal ball in the little gold dragon''s hand and looked at it with slight suspicion, before receiving it.


    The moment Xu Fu received it, a ray of light suddenly appeared in the room.


    "Lord, we really can''t attack the dragon clan this month."


    A familiar voice rang out.


    Xu Fu trembled as he looked at the scene before him in disbelief.


    Facing the four masked men in black, the man let out a cold laugh. With a hint of contempt, he said, "If the number of dragons is not enough, then we will anger that lord!"


    There was a hint of threat in those words, and the Dragon King''s expression became somewhat unsightly.


    "But, if the number of the dragon race decreases again, then those ministers will suspect me sooner or later. When that happens, neither of us will get any good results."


    The Dragon King seemed to be trying to negotiate with him, but the other party didn''t seem to care at all.


    "Why are you threatening me?"


    The man''s eyes narrowed and his voice grew colder.


    The Dragon King pursed his lips but didn''t say anything, "Don''t forget how you managed to climb up to this position. Any lord who has the ability to remove you from this position will naturally be able to do so."


    The Dragon King was an eight-winged golden dragon, and an eight-winged golden dragon could compete with the god race in terms of combat strength. Even if it was just a side branch and her bloodline wasn''t pure in time, if they were to fight, at least in the Eastern Profound Continent, no one could contend against her.


    "How is this possible?"


    Xu Fu opened his mouth in shock, disbelief written all over his face.


    Xiao Jin Long sneered and said, "The current Dragon King?" That person was a traitor! He is a traitor that our dragon race has never been able to tolerate! "


    Xiao Jin Long''s words carried a bit of authority. Xu Fu pursed his lips but didn''t say anything, but his expression was extremely ugly.


    "How?"


    The meaning of Xu Fu''s words was to ask Little Gold how did he seal that scene onto the crystal ball.


    The little gold dragon''s faint golden eyes darkened, then he said, "To be honest, I''m currently cooperating with humans."


    He didn''t want to lie to his allies, so he decided to tell everything that had happened between him and Jun Qianyan to Xu Fu.


    When Xu Fu heard the words'' cooperating with humans'', he was no longer calm. How could he still hear what the little gold dragon said after that?


    "What did you say?" You are cooperating with the human race?! "


    Xu Fu''s words were almost a roar.


    "Don''t be so excited, finish reading this." Xiao Jin Long consoled.


    Xu Fu took a deep breath, and only after great difficulty did he manage to suppress the agitation in his heart. He couldn''t help but look towards the little gold dragon and opened his mouth, but didn''t say anything after a long time.


    "I ¡­" The Dragon King''s expression was somewhat ugly, as if he wanted to get angry, but he didn''t know what he was afraid of, so he could only shut his mouth.


    However, there was a look of unwillingness in his eyes.


    "I hope to see two months'' worth of dragons next month."


    With that, the man in black disappeared.


    The crystal ball also shattered.


    Xu Fu''s face was pale. He knew that everything in the video was true. Because one month, the dragon clan didn''t disappear and they were still excited for a while. However, in the second month, they lost a lot of people.


    "There''s one more here."


    The little gold dragon handed the other crystal ball over.


    This crystal ball let out a series of wails, a human''s wail and the cry of a dragon.


    Xu Fu''s entire body trembled like a sieve.


    The screams made him feel extremely uncomfortable.


    After the crystal ball broke, Xu Fu seemed to have aged by more than a hundred years.


    "Is this true?" Even though he already knew what was going on, he still couldn''t help but ask.


    Xiao Jin Long nodded as if he couldn''t bear it anymore, but Xu Fu had to know the truth.


    "You ¡­" And why are they with humans? "


    Xiao Jin Long was silent for a moment, and then he truthfully narrated everything that had happened between him and Jun Qianyan.


    Xu Fu nodded. If there was a good person, there would be a bad person. Just like the current Dragon King, her actions and actions couldn''t represent the entire dragon race.


    However, the actions of humans left him unable to let go for a moment.

 C306

    Xiao Jin Long also knew clearly in his heart that if Fu Fu could easily accept Jun Qianyan and the others, he would actually look down on him. It was only after Jun Qiyan saved him twice that Xiao Jin completely trusted her.


    Xu Fu only listened to what the little gold dragon said, so he didn''t express his stance.


    "Whether he''s a good person or not, he still needs to verify it himself." Xu Fu thought to himself.


    After all, the little gold dragon was still young, and if he was bewitched by a human, he had to stop it in time.


    Humans were just greedy and cunning, this was how dragons judged humans to be for 10,000 years. Some dragons were even born to listen to their parents talk about how greedy humans were.


    Thus, Xu Fu was extremely worried for the little gold dragon''s safety.


    After this conversation, Xu Fu had already completely believed in Little Gold Dragon.


    To show that he was willing to die for him.


    The mission here had been successfully completed.


    The Dragon Palace, however, was in a state of chaos.


    The palace was brightly lit, and three eight-winged golden dragons hovered in the air.


    Below them were countless soldiers, surrounding the Dragon Palace from the third floor to the third floor.


    Looking at the situation in front of him, the Dragon King was enraged to death.


    This was rebellion!


    The Dragon King took a deep breath and stared at the two dragons.


    It turned out to be one of the bodyguards that General Tao had brought. He had snuck out to inform the Tao family that his master was trapped in the Dragon Palace and wanted to gather some troops.


    As soon as these words were spoken, the entire Tao family was thrown into chaos. Madame Tao even used the Tiger Tally to gather all the people outside the Dragon Palace.


    Now, even if General Tao didn''t want it, he was already guilty of conspiring against him.


    The Dragon King gloomily looked at the two dragons before him as a draconic roar filled the air. The internal and external guards of the palace began to stir restlessly.


    In the end, the Dragon King was still the Dragon King. Even Tao Shuang and Grand General Tao did not gain any benefits from being under the Dragon King''s control.


    Indeed, at the end, Tao Linglong and Grand General Tao were sentenced to the dungeon as'' conspirators''.


    However, the Dragon King did not gain much either. He returned to his palace alone, heavily injured.


    The next morning, the Dragon King sent out an order, "The upper echelons of the Tao family are trying to rebel, bringing nine families down with them."


    Oh! As soon as the decree was given, the entire capital was abuzz with noise, and the entire city was abuzz.


    And Tao Liang still didn''t know what had happened.


    The next morning, Beijing''s Ji Bai took the opportunity to sneak into the palace.


    The pottery concoction had long since been defiled by such a person in the dungeon. It was like a ghost or a ghost.


    He found it hard to accept the sudden appearance of Jing and Ji Bai''s voice.


    "Are you here to make fun of me?!" Tao Yin held onto the iron railing, looking at the people outside, and said with red eyes that seemed like they were about to split open.


    If it wasn''t for this woman, how would he be where he was today!


    Beijing''s Ji Bai looked at the person in front of him and said with a sneer, "Do you think you wouldn''t be what you are now without me?"


    Faced with Jing and Ji Bai''s questioning, Tao Yin was somewhat speechless. It was true that the dragon king was afraid of Tao family for a long time.


    The situation today was bound to happen sooner or later. Jing and Ji Bai was just a catalyst.


    "If I were you, I would definitely not sit here and wait for death!" Ji Bai Mei''s eyes were like silk as she said softly.


    Tao Shuang frowned, he did not understand what he meant, "What do you mean by that?"


    The capital''s Ji Bai laughed lightly and said, "You probably don''t know yet, but the Tao family has been charged with the crime of murdering a monarch. The Emperor said that he will cause trouble for the entire Nine Nations. "


    "Tao Shuang, I remember that your family has a three-year-old nephew ¡­"


    Tao Yin was extremely fond of his nephew, and his little face immediately turned pale when he heard Jing Bai''s words.


    "What do you mean?!"


    Tao Yin stared at Jing Ji Bai as if he wanted to poke a hole in him. Jing Ji Bai smiled and said: "This is not my intention, it is the king''s intention."


    These words of Jing and Ji Bai could be considered to have caused Tao Shuang to fall into hell.


    "If I were you, the Dragon King would betray my sincerity. Even if I can''t take revenge, I definitely won''t let him off easy."


    Tao Shuang did not understand what Jing Ji Bai meant, didn''t this woman come to make fun of him? What do you mean by saying these advantages now?


    Beijing''s Ji Bai blinked his eyes and said, "The enemy of the enemy is a friend. We have a common enemy."


    "A common enemy?"


    Tao Fu did not know who Beijing and Beijing Bai were referring to.


    She''s a fool," he said, almost rolling his eyes.


    "Dragon King, to be honest, we are from the main sect." Beijing''s Ji Bai said.


    As soon as he said that, Tao Yin stared at Jing and Ji Bai with his eyes wide open.


    "The direct line of descent?" Even the Dragon Princess didn''t know that the Dragon King had colluded with the human army.


    She simply thought that the Dragon King had the intention to rebel.


    "You ¡­" Long Wangfei was a bit at a loss for words. She couldn''t quite wrap her head around it.


    His love rival, the favorite concubine of the Dragon King, was actually from the direct line of descent?


    "Believe it or not, the only person who can save you right now is me."


    Jing Jibai''s words were repeated in his ears, while she pursed his lips as if he was making a choice.


    "What do you want me to do?" Tao Shuang was simple, but he was not stupid. With so many guards around him, as well as exposing his identity, he must have wanted to ask some questions.


    Ji Bai raised his eyebrows and asked, "Where is Dragon''s Tears?"


    Princess Long Wangfei didn''t think that Ji Bai would be so direct with his question. After a moment of silence, she asked, "If I tell you, will you be able to save our Tao Clan?"


    Beijing''s Ji Bai smiled and said, "Do you have any other choice other than mine?"


    After weighing the pros and cons, Long Wangfei clenched her fists and said, "Under the Dragon King''s bed, there''s a secret room, and the Tears of Dragon is inside."


    Beijing''s Ji Bai nodded.


    Before she left, Long Wangfei didn''t forget to say, "You must save our Tao bloodline!"


    There was already a hint of a request in his words.


    Jing Ji Bai looked at Long Wangfei and said, "Don''t you worry. I won''t let innocent people be implicated."


    After leaving, Beijing, Ji Bai, Feng Chen, Ye Changsheng, and the others walked into the Dragon King''s palace under the banner of "patient". After making their plans, they decided to escape after stealing the Dragon''s Tears.


    Arriving at the Dragon King''s bedroom, he saw the person on the bed lying on the bed with a pale face and his eyes closed.


    Everyone glanced at each other. Jun Qiyan took a step forward to examine the situation of the Dragon King.


    "I won''t wake up for a while."


    When Jun Qiyan said this, everyone was relieved to hear this. They didn''t want the guards outside to be suspicious.


    Beijing, Ji Bai and the others began to wail, "You have to wake up!"


    "Wuu wuu, without you, what would I do?"


    One after another, cries and screams sounded out from the palace. Those who didn''t know the truth were not only sighing in their hearts.


    These beauties were truly loyal people!


    "Pottery gouge means that the mechanism is under the bed?"


    Feng Chen Lang cried out as he took the opportunity to ask in a low voice. She laid down on the bed to check if there were any mechanisms on the bed.


    Jun Qianyan was the first to take a step forward and grab Feng Chenlang''s collar as he said this with a hint of amusement.


    "Do you think it''s possible for a Dragon King duck to crawl under the bed?"


    Feng Chenlang was stunned. The Dragon King was very selfish and arrogant, and because he was of a side bloodline, he could not tolerate anyone disrespecting him.

 C307

    Let the Dragon King crawl under the bed...


    No matter how you looked at it, it seemed impossible.


    "You mean the mechanism isn''t under the bed?" Feng Chen Lang asked in a low voice.


    Jun Qiyan nodded, and Jing and Ji Bai were a little confused. "But Tao Shuang is already at the end of his road. It''s impossible for him to lie to us."


    Jun Qiyan lightly furrowed his brows. After a while, he said, "The mechanism is under the bed."


    This time, the crowd was even more confused.


    Feng Chenlang scratched his head and said, "What do you mean by ''yes, no''?"


    Jun Qiyan cast a sidelong glance at the person beside her and said, "The way to the secret chamber is under the bed, but the mechanism to open the bed is not on the bed." Then, his voice paused and continued, "Do you understand?"


    Only now did Feng Chenlang come to a realization.


    Jun Qiyan couldn''t help but want to roll his eyes.


    "The mechanism should be in this room. Go along the wall and search for something."


    Everyone nodded.


    Jun Qiyan''s face darkened. She looked around before retracting her gaze.


    The Dragon King was arrogant ¡­


    Jun Qiyan paused for a moment, and quickly walked to the table in front of him.


    There was something similar to an Imperial Jade Seal on it.


    She picked up the Imperial Jade Seal and gently caressed it.


    There was a small crack that was not visible on the Imperial Jade Seal.


    Jun Qiyan slightly curled her lips as she used her spiritual power to open it.


    He saw a small red button hidden within the Imperial Jade Seal.


    Ji Bai and the rest were attracted by Jun Qiyan''s actions. They looked at the object in his hand and asked, "This is ¡­"


    Jun Qiyan didn''t say anything as he lightly pressed down on the bed. The bed was slightly raised, and a passageway that could only be entered by one person appeared in front of everyone.


    Everyone looked at each other with a hint of surprise in their eyes.


    "Dyeing, awesome!"


    Feng Chenlang gave a thumbs up and said with a face full of admiration.


    The Dragon King hid himself very well. Ordinary people would definitely not touch the Imperial Jade Seal. Moreover, even if there were palace maids or maids who accidentally touched it, they would definitely not find anything suspicious.


    He wouldn''t look at it too closely.


    If it weren''t for the fact that Jun Qiyan knew that the Dragon King was such a self-respecting person, he wouldn''t have come to inspect the Imperial Jade Seal.


    They carefully walked down the tunnel.


    It was pitch black inside. A flame lit up on the tips of Jun Qiyan''s fingers, illuminating the road ahead.


    Everyone tensed up, afraid that they would trigger some sort of mechanism.


    "That is Tears of Dragon?"


    Everyone followed Ye Changsheng''s gaze and saw that it was a fountain. A purple crystal hung on the fountain.


    Beijing''s Ji Bai nodded and followed Long Wangfei''s description. This was the dragon race''s most precious treasure, Tears of Dragons.


    Everyone''s faces were filled with the joy of completing a simple task. Only Jun Feiyan''s own face had turned pale.


    He didn''t know why, but he felt abnormally sad in his heart.


    Ye Changsheng noticed the abnormality in Jun Qianyan and asked somewhat worriedly, "Are you okay?"


    Jun Qiyan pursed her lips and nodded. "I''m fine."


    With that, he even comforted Ye Changsheng by patting him on the shoulder, as if he was silently saying that he truly was very good.


    Seeing this, Ye Changsheng did not say anything, only saying, "If you feel uncomfortable, just say it."


    Jun Qiyan nodded.


    "How do we pull it down?" Feng Chenlang did not notice the situation over here, so he asked with a frown.


    According to the rules, if he did something to Dragon''s Tears, it would trigger some sort of mechanism.


    Ye Changsheng surveyed his surroundings and examined it once more before saying, "Just directly grab it. There aren''t any traps here."


    The crowd was a little surprised by his words.


    Tears of Dragon was a treasure of the dragon race no matter what they did. If there was no mechanism, then it would have been stolen long ago.


    Facing the doubtful gazes of the crowd, Ye Changsheng smiled and said, "Tears of Dragon only affect the dragon race."


    Only after hearing his words did everyone heave a sigh of relief. With a leap, Feng Chenlang sent the glowing purple crystal into her hands.


    Jun Qiyan looked at the crystal in Feng Chenlang''s hand, and his face turned even paler.


    The group did not plan to stay any longer. Just as they wanted to leave, they found that someone had blocked the entrance.


    That person was not just anyone else, he was the Dragon King who should have been in bed unconscious.


    "Who are you?"


    The Dragon King''s face was dark as he stared at the human who had brazenly snuck into her palace, and then entered her palace to find the Dragon''s Tears.


    Feng Chenlang blinked his eyes and deliberately said in a coquettish voice, "We''re your concubines!"


    Their medicinal effects were already over when they arrived at the secret chamber. However, because they wanted to hasten the dragon''s tears, they didn''t pay much attention to it.


    He didn''t expect that the Dragon King would wake up at this moment.


    "What did you say?!" The Dragon King was stunned. There were only a few men in front of him, how could they be his concubines?!


    "Has the king forgotten us?"


    Feng Chen Lang''s eyes blinked as he deliberately used the voice of "Chen Lang" to speak.


    This time, the Dragon King was no longer calm.


    His face was flushed red and his already unhealthy body was stimulated by Feng Chen Lang. He immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and angrily said, "You are ¡­"


    "Your highness really has forgotten too much. You''ve only been unconscious for a few days, and you''ve already forgotten about us sisters?"


    Feng Chenlang was laughing merrily and feeling quite pleased with himself. After being disgusted by this old soul for such a long time, they were finally able to hold their heads high and let out a sigh of relief.


    Everyone looked at Feng Chenlang''s infuriated expression and smirked.


    However, the Dragon King could no longer tolerate it. He immediately returned to his original form and roared furiously.


    With this roar, it seemed as if the cave trembled a few times.


    However, none of them showed any signs of fear. This dragon king was heavily injured, and even if their battle strength were halved, they wouldn''t be able to pose any threat at all.


    "You guys go meet up with the little gold dragon first. I''ll deal with her."


    Jun Qiyan took out a Cold Ice Sword from his storage ring.


    When the Dragon King woke up, it was an accident.


    Even if the Dragon King was seriously injured, it was still an eight-winged golden dragon that could contend against gods. The few of them did not dare to be careless.


    However, Jun Qiyan was not an ordinary person either. Everyone was very clear about her fighting strength, and was ready to leave as there weren''t many reasons behind.


    Compared to Jun Qiyan, Xiao Jin Long needed them even more.


    Jun Qianyan was wielding a frost sword, which was wrapped in a layer of black flames.


    "You are not my match, I advise you to surrender early."


    The Dragon King hovered in the air and said with a sneer.


    In the eyes of the Dragon King, Jun Qiyan was just a human being.


    How could insignificant humans contend against their noble dragon race?


    Jun Qiyan sneered. He was completely unmoved by the Dragon King''s words.


    "You''ll know whether or not you''re a match for him after a try!" With that, she leapt towards the Dragon King''s position and chopped down.


    The Dragon King narrowed his eyes and spat out a red flame from his mouth.


    Jun Qiyan''s eyes narrowed as a thin layer of ice appeared around him.


    It was a good way to neutralize the Dragon King''s attack.


    "Do you think I''m the only one to fight you?"


    Jun Qiyan stably landed on the ground as he suddenly opened his mouth to speak. The Dragon King frowned, but didn''t say anything.


    As the sound of Jun Qianyan''s voice faded, two colossal beings appeared in front of the Dragon King.


    Tao Tie and the Octadic Snake had completely blocked Jun Qiyan''s path.


    The Dragon King''s expression changed. With some disbelief, he asked, "Ancient vicious beast?"


    The ancient beast was one of the 12 protectors of the demonic god back then.


    Although nearly ten thousand years had passed, countless people still knew their stories.


    The Dragon King was one of them. He narrowed his eyes and thought, This isn''t good.


    "Ancient vicious beasts, how could you surrender to a mere human?" The Dragon King asked in confusion.


    There was a laugh.


    The Dragon King did not get angry. He was trying to rebel against the Octadic Snake.


    "You and I are half the same kind. If you help me kill this human today, then I will split half of the dragon race with you."


    The Dragon King said as he stared at the Octadic Snake.


    The Octadic Snake didn''t speak, as if it was thinking.


    "Dragon Clan give me half? "How can half of it be?"


    The Octadic Snake flicked its tongue and said.


    Tao Tie''s eyelids twitched as he said in disbelief: "Fu Cheng, what are you trying to say!"


    The Dragon King originally did not hold any hope, seeing that the Octadic Snake really dared to consider his suggestion, he could not help but feel overjoyed. If he could really get her help, then dealing with this human and the Taotie would be an easy task.


    "If your excellency feels that it is lacking, I can give you two-thirds of it, but that won''t do either!"


    The Dragon King said.


    The Octadic Snake raised his eyebrows and continued, "But, I like to eat alone."


    These words caused the Dragon King''s face to darken. "Don''t be too greedy!"


    It was already the limit of kindness for him to give her half, but this fellow actually wanted his throne!


    "You''re just a flood dragon. What qualifications do you have to become the leader of our dragon race?"


    The Dragon King coldly snorted as he spoke.


    The Octadic Snake curled its lips in a lightning fast manner and took a quick step forward with a blur.


    By the time the Dragon King reacted, his body had already been pierced by a hard object.


    It was the tail of the Octadic Snake.


    "You!" The Dragon King''s eyes were fixed on her chest. She didn''t think that the Octadic Snake she was talking about would suddenly attack.


    "So, it''s not appropriate for us to work together." The Octadic Snake said softly.


    Tao Tie looked at the Octadic Great Snake with a little resentment. This guy!


    The Dragon King could not speak a single word. He could only stare fixedly at the Octadic Snake.


    In the gap, everyone heard a ruckus. They saw Feng Chenlang and the little gold dragon appear at the entrance of the dungeon.


    The Dragon King crawled on the ground, gasping for breath.


    When he saw the little gold dragon, he was completely flustered.


    "Why are you here ¡­ "You guys ¡­" The Dragon King looked at the crowd and understood everything.


    "You actually work with humans!" The Dragon King pointed at Xiao Jin Long and asked.


    Xiao Jin Long squinted his eyes. He never thought that the Dragon King would be so shameless.


    "Me and the humans? What face do you have to say that? Are you worthy of the kin you sold to the humans?! "


    Xiao Jin Long''s questioning caused the Dragon King''s expression to become extremely ugly.


    He muttered to himself, "How do you know?" He was so secretive about it ¡­


    Xiao Jin Long laughed coldly and directly said, "There is no wall that doesn''t let the wind pass through this world. Back then, when you broke your word and killed my parents and harmed my fellow countrymen, did you ever think of having this day?!"

 C308

    Xiao Jin Long asked, one word at a time.


    The Dragon King''s face was completely pale. Her secret that had been hidden for so many years had been unearthed by the workers just like that. For a moment, she found it hard to accept.


    The Dragon King surveyed his surroundings. He didn''t know what to look at, but a vicious glint flashed across his eyes.


    Subsequently, he ignored the pain and leaped up, wanting to swallow the crystal in Feng Chen Lang''s hand.


    "Don''t even think about waiting for what I can''t get!"


    By the time everyone realized what the Dragon King was trying to do, it was already too late.


    Legend has it that within the Dragon Clan, those who can swallow the Dragon''s Tears will be able to obtain the Dragon God''s power in a very short period of time.


    However, because the Dragon God''s power was too powerful, an ordinary body simply could not withstand it. If its body exploded and died two hours later, it would even be cursed as its soul could never rest in peace for all eternity.


    Therefore, no dragon clan was willing to try.


    And right now, the Dragon King was in a state of madness. He did not care about the consequences and wanted everyone to pay the price.


    No matter what, he would die. If he pulled one along, he would earn one!


    Jun Qiyan was the first to react. She pushed Feng Chenlang aside and took away the Dragon''s Tears in his hands.


    When the Dragon King saw that his plan had failed, he was infuriated. However, he knew that he was not. If his plan failed, then the second plan would happen.


    Without saying anything further, he prepared to self-destruct.


    "Be careful!" Xiao Jin Long never thought that the Dragon King would be so extreme! He roared angrily, wanting everyone to leave as soon as possible.


    The explosion of the Eight-winged Golden Dragon could raze an area of a hundred miles.


    No one had expected the Dragon King to be so decisive.


    Everyone only felt their vision turn black as they lost all sense of what was happening.


    Smoke and dust rose in all directions, and black fog shrouded the entire Dragon Palace. The entire Dragon Palace was affected by the Dragon King''s self-detonation. The powerful impact caused the Dragon Palace to be reduced to ruins.


    From afar, a deep crater in the circumference of several hundred miles could be seen. Not even a single bit of the remains of the enormous Dragon Palace remained. They had all been eroded by the energy waves.


    At this time, even Jun Qiyan and the others who had escaped in time were severely injured from the impact of the self-detonation. They were lying unconscious in the rubble, looking miserable.


    Jun Qiyan, who should have been unconscious, suddenly felt his body heat up. There was a violent energy rampaging within her body, constantly attacking her meridians.


    She opened her mouth and spat out a mouthful of dirty blood. Beads of blood began to seep out from her skin, and in a short while, she turned into a man made of blood.


    Jun Qiyan gritted her teeth, endured the pain, and looked into her body. In a moment of desperation, she swallowed the Dragon''s Teardrop, and was sent scurrying around inside her body, as if her internal organs had been moved.


    The power of the Dragon God was indeed extraordinary.


    Before she could think about it, Dragon''s Tears had already reached her dantian. Jun Qiyan jumped in fright, and quickly used her own strength to approach Dragon''s Tears. However, this was no different than striking a stone with an egg.


    As soon as she approached Tears of Dragon, she suffered a strong backlash.


    "Damn." Jun Qiyan held in the stench of blood that had rushed to her mouth.


    She could feel that her body was in ruins, and it was hard for her to stay conscious.


    "Heh, Dragon''s Tears, you just wait." Jun Qiyan wiped away the blood at the corner of his mouth and used all of his strength to activate the Soul Devouring Flame within his body. The Soul Devouring Flame could devour anything in the world.


    Right now, she was betting everything on this. She wanted to see if this Tears of Dragon was afraid of the ''Heavenly Flame''.


    Under Jun Qiyan''s guidance, the Soul Devouring Flame kept drawing closer and closer to Tears of Dragon. Tears of Dragon seemed to have sensed the threat and carefully hid in Jun Qiyan''s dantian, no longer emitting a berserk aura.


    Seeing that Dragon''s Tears had obeyed him, Jun Qiyan heaved a sigh of relief. She tried to use her own aura to surround Dragon''s Tears.


    With the backlash from earlier, Jun Qiyan didn''t dare to slack off in the slightest. Otherwise, her little life really would have ended here.


    As they got closer and closer to Tears of Dragon, Tears of Dragon actually happily entwined with Jun Qiyan''s aura. It looked as if she was behaving like a spoiled child.


    Strange? Could Tears of Dragon still have feelings for her? A friendship without a fight?


    Without waiting for her to think further, the docile Dragon''s Tears turned into specks of starlight and flew into her Jindan. The surging energy inside it instantly exploded.


    "Hiss." Jun Qiyan cried out in pain.


    "This treacherous villain dared to attack her aurous core when she wasn''t paying attention. He''s finished." With such great power, her Jindan would definitely shatter into pieces.


    The Jindan was broken into pieces, and the pain became more distinct.


    The energy of Tears of Dragon turned into a golden stream of light that attacked her meridians time and time again. Every time it struck her meridians, it would expand by a bit.


    This is?


    Her golden core, along with the Tears of Dragon, turned into a golden stream of light, tempering her meridians.


    Before Jun Qiyan could rejoice, a warm current once again flowed out from his dantian and covered his entire body.


    "Relax." Fu Cheng, who had been in his sea of consciousness, opened his surprised eyes.


    "Roar ~ ~" A deafening dragon''s roar sounded like a clap of thunder. Jun Qiyan was startled by this sound. Where did the dragon come from?


    After a while, she finally noticed the change in her body.


    She flew into the sky and began to lengthen, two pairs of horns sprouting from her head.


    Soon after, she began to grow long dragon whiskers, her hands and feet turned into five claws, her skin was covered with layers of dragon scales, and her lower body turned into a dragon tail at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye.


    The heat in his body finally disappeared as the golden stream of light happily surged within his new body.


    The heart-wrenching pain from Dragon''s Tears had already disappeared. It was obvious that it had already been absorbed by her. Once again, she looked into her body ¡­


    Her dantian had no Jindan, but it had a bright pearl.


    It was as translucent as the Tears of Dragon, and it hovered steadily in his dantian.


    Had she become a dragon?


    With a single thought, Jun Qianyan took human form, still appearing as elegant and elegant as before.


    When she thought of the dragon, she immediately turned into a dragon.


    Jun Qiyan did not believe in what was happening as she flipped through the air. One moment she was in human form, the next she was in the form of a dragon.


    When Beijing, Ji Bai, and the rest woke up, they saw a scene in which the usually cold and aloof Jun Qiyan had transformed into a fool, and had even morphed into a statue ¡­ Dragon!


    The capital''s Ji Bai was startled. He hurriedly left to find Jun Qiyan, causing everyone to be extremely shocked.


    "Qiyan, are you still Qiyan?" Feng Chenlang looked at Jun Qiyan''s body with a snot and tears in his eyes. Was this still her boss?


    Could it be that he was eaten by a dragon?


    "Did you get eaten? Give me a reply, and I will definitely avenge you!" Feng Chen Lang continued to wail and complain. He was both sad and vigilant as he looked at the dragon''s body.


    "I''ll eat your ass!" Jun Qiyan immediately transformed into his human form, and exploded in fear.


    "Ah, this is great." Feng Chen Lang cried with joy as he hugged Jun Feiyan''s thigh.


    At the same time, Emperor Mo Jiu frowned as he looked at Jun Qiyan within the Nuwa Stone.


    He looked at the injured Jun Qiyan, wanting to leave a long time ago. Before he could even make a sound, he could feel the aura of a dragon coming from her body.


    Right now, Jun Qiyan''s entire body was exuding the aura of a dragon; moreover, it was the aura of a direct descendant of the Eight-winged Golden Dragon.


    "Qiyan, what''s going on?" Jing and Ji Bai calmed down and looked at the dragon form of Jun Qiyan.


    "I don''t know either. I just swallowed the Tears of Dragon in a hurry and then immediately took form." Jun Qiyan shook her head, she was also a little stunned by the entire situation.


    "Who is it? Why is there the aura of the Eight-winged Golden Dragon from my main branch here?" The person who came was Xiao Jin Long. His gaze was fixated on Jun Feiyan''s body, and it was ice-cold with a hint of chilliness.


    "Jun Qiyan, just who are you? Why do you have the bloodline of my direct descendant, the Eight-winged Golden Dragon?"


    Xiao Jin Long leaned over to Jun Qiyan and felt the aura emanating from her body. She was indeed a direct descendant of the Eight-winged Golden Dragon, and had the same bloodline as his.


    "En..." I accidentally swallowed the Dragon''s Tears! " Jun Qiyan awkwardly smiled, the Tears of Dragon seemed to be the most precious treasure of the dragon race.


    "What?! You swallowed the Dragon''s Tears? Spit it out!"


    The little gold dragon''s fingertips trembled. He had said why did Jun Qiyan have the aura of a dragon? The Tears of Dragon was the crystallization of the Dragon God''s power; how could it be taken away by an outsider?


    "I''m sorry, I''ve already absorbed the Tears of Dragon." Jun Qianyan sincerely apologized.


    "Hehe, are you joking? Only my direct descendant, the Eight-winged Golden Dragon, can barely absorb the power of the Tears of Dragon. Any outsider would be burnt by it if they were to come into contact with it, not to mention absorbing it. "


    Xiao Jin laughed lightly. His handsome face was as black as the bottom of a pot.


    "But I did absorb it, you can check if you don''t believe me." Jun Qiyan stretched out her hand as a faint golden light encircled it. It was indeed the aura of a dragon.


    The little gold dragon leaned over to carefully distinguish the aura on her body. No, that''s not right!

 C309

    "You, you, you, you you ¡­" Little Gold Dragon was completely shocked as he pointed at Jun Yunyan with his trembling finger.


    "You, you, you ¡­ don''t point to my family''s Qiyan." Feng Chenlang pushed Little Gold away as if he was protecting his cub.


    "Don''t tell me you''re my long-lost aunt!" The cold expression of Xiao Jin Long combined with this'' grandaunt ''caused a thunderclap to rise up from the ground.


    "Pfft!" Feng Chenglang and Ji Bai impolitely laughed out loud, haha, Jun Qiyan had actually become someone else''s great-aunt.


    Jun Qiyan''s face was also filled with black lines. As he looked at the people who were laughing uncontrollably, he shot a cold glare at them.


    "What do you mean? "Who is your aunt?" Jun Qiyan lightly frowned. She had become a dragon just because she had absorbed the tears of a dragon? She didn''t believe it.


    "Grandaunt is the daughter of the Dragon God. If you can absorb the Dragon''s Tears and still be safe and sound, then it must be her."


    Dragon God!


    "The aura on your body isn''t from Dragon''s Tears at all, but from your bloodline. It''s the bloodline of a direct descendant of the Eight-winged Golden Dragon." The more the little gold dragon spoke, the more certain he became.


    He never thought that he would be able to meet his own kin after so many years. Even more so, he never imagined that the direct descendants of the Dragon God would still exist in the direct line of descent of the Eight-winged Golden Dragon.


    "You mean, I''m from the dragon race?" Jun Qiyan pointed at himself.


    "Without a doubt, you definitely have the bloodline of my main bloodline, the Eight-winged Golden Dragon. As for why I didn''t notice it before."


    Xiao Jin Long pondered and said, "That should be hidden or sealed."


    Hidden or sealed? Jun Qiyan looked down at the Nuwa Stone in his hand. Could it be this strange stone?


    "Before this, I was just a human, and I even managed to cultivate to the Jindan Stage. Is this how your dragon race cultivates?" Jun Qiyan asked once more. Everything had happened too fast, so she had to accept her incompetence.


    "If you have always been in human form, you might not be unable to practice human techniques." The little gold dragon spoke with a serious expression, his eyes filled with curiosity.


    Jun Qiyan blanked out for a moment. She hadn''t thought that her father would be the Dragon God.


    Who was the Dragon God? He was a Deity who was second only to Sovereigns in power and power.


    However, the stories about the Dragon God only existed in legends and could no longer be heard. And it was precisely this kind of mythical person that was her father.


    "Then where is the Dragon God now?" She suddenly wanted to know the whereabouts of the Dragon God.


    "This ¡­" Xiao Jin Long began to evade, "It should still be in the upper realms."


    Actually, he wasn''t sure, but the Dragon God was the pride of their race. If the Dragon God was still in their bloodline, he wouldn''t have fallen to such a state.


    But if he wasn''t there, how could he have met Jun Qiyan?


    "Hmm, you just said that I''m your great-aunt?" Jun Qiyan''s eyes turned as he suddenly wanted to tease and tease Xiao Jin Long, who always had a stern face.


    The aura of the Dragon God faintly dispersed, bringing with it a faint pressure.


    Xiao Jin Long''s face immediately turned green. Looking at the ridicule in Jun Qianyan''s eyes, he gnashed his teeth and said, "According to seniority, you are indeed from my great-aunt''s generation."


    "Sigh ¡­ Qiyan is actually deliberately taking advantage of me." Beijing''s Ji Bai pushed Feng Chen Lang, who was beside him.


    "Yeah, they''re all aunty''s generation yet they''re bullying the young. They don''t know shame." Feng Chenlang nodded as if something had happened.


    Jun Qiyan narrowed his cold eyes and slashed out a blade.


    At the same time, Di Mo Jiu, who was inside the Nuwa Stone, frowned slightly. He never thought that Qiyan Yun would actually be the daughter of the Dragon God.


    The Dragon God had already disappeared from the upper realm for many years. At one point, he had thought that the Dragon God had perished, but looking at it now, that was not necessarily the case.


    After the war, there were many things that needed to be tidied up. The Dragon King had self-destructed, but those dragons and grandchildren were still alive.


    For now, the dragon race needed a new king to rule over them. Now that she was a part of the dragon race, she could just clean up the mess for that cheap father.


    "Let''s go and pick up the loot." At Jun Qiyan''s command, everyone followed her towards the center of the explosion.


    "Fu Chen, am I really a dragon?" She had already transformed into the body of a dragon, and the aura of a dragon could be sensed from her body.


    "I don''t know!" The cold voice of the Octadic Snake came over. Jun Qiyan was indeed a dragon now, but he could still feel the intimacy he had with her.


    This meant that the original bloodline had not disappeared. It did not know what that bloodline was. At the very least, it was not a human.


    "Little gold dragon, your dragon clan is now in a mess. Do you have any ideas?" Jun Qiyan raised an eyebrow as he looked at the cold face of Xiao Jin Long.


    "The Dragon King has detonated himself. Right now, the side branch is just a headless fly. However, it''s not that easy to deal with."


    "Do you want to be a dragon king?" Jun Qiyan smiled sweetly, a crafty light flickering in her eyes.


    "What is your purpose?" Ever since Xiao Jin knew that Jun Qiyan was also a direct descendant of the Eight-winged Golden Dragon, he suddenly developed a favorable impression of her, and his tone wasn''t as cold as before.


    "I''ll help you quell the internal strife and become the Dragon King. When the time comes, can you lend me some reinforcements?" Jun Qiyan slightly parted her red lips, as a myriad of lights seemed to shine in her eyes.


    Xiao Jinlong''s sword-like eyebrows slightly frowned and he nodded for a long while. "Why are you borrowing reinforcements!?"


    "Of course it is to suppress those vicious and insidious human scum who cultivated forbidden techniques that had no humanity and harmed the dragon race and human race." Jun Qiyan''s gaze was fierce, and his body was emitting a faint dragon''s aura due to his anger.


    Xiao Jin Long instantly realized who the scum that Jun Qianyan was talking about was. He thought about the collaboration between the Dragon King and the humans, as well as his parents and countless clansmen that were ruthlessly persecuted.


    As for those people, even if Jun Qiyan wasn''t on his side, he would personally lead his troops to attack them.


    For a mere puny human to dare to plot against their dragon race and even treat the dragon race as test subjects, he would definitely take revenge for the entire dragon race.


    "Hoh, a common enemy. How can you even talk about borrowing troops?" The little gold dragon''s meaning had already been completely expressed.


    She already knew what the little gold dragon had chosen.


    In front of them, the dragon pit that had been affected by the self-detonation had all risen up one after another. General Tao and the other centurions stood in unison in the middle of the crater.


    They had never imagined that the Dragon King would actually self-detonate while they were plotting to overthrow him. Fortunately, their cultivation was deep and they were dragons, so their bodies were unusually tough.


    "The main branch?"


    Looking at Xiao Jin Long, who was called a traitor, and Jun Qiyan, who was faintly emitting the aura of an eight-winged golden dragon, General Tao cautiously looked at everyone.


    "Why, is General Tao still unable to see the situation clearly?"

 C310

    Jun Qi took a step forward, and her entire body began to emit a draconic aura. The pressure was so great that she wasn''t able to defend against it in time and fell to her knees.


    "You ¡­ "Who are you? Why have I never seen you in the Dragon race?"


    General Tao hurriedly used his strength to barely block Jun Qiyan''s dragon might, and stopped kneeling down.


    With the addition of his own spiritual power, the dragon''s might instantly multiplied. General Tao dropped to his knees, his knees sinking deep into the ground.


    The other silver dragons that couldn''t resist in time began to bleed from the corners of their mouths. It was clear how strong Jun Feiyan''s dragon might was.


    The dragon race was a clan with strict order and hierarchy. The purer the bloodline, the stronger the prestige of the dragon race.


    "She is the daughter of the Dragon God. I''m afraid General Tao does not even have the qualifications to call her aunt!" The little gold dragon stood at the side with his hands behind his back. His sharp and cold eyes did not carry a single trace of warmth.


    Back then, this man had participated in the rebellion. The destruction of the direct line of descent must have been due to him.


    The daughter of the Dragon God?


    "How is this possible? The Dragon God had already ascended to the Realm thousands of years ago. General Tao''s eyes widened in anger. He could be considered an old man in the clan. How could he not know if the Dragon God had a daughter who would stay with him?


    "Aunt ¡­" "Aunt." Xiao Jinlong unnaturally paused for a moment before continuing, "Aunt has already absorbed the Dragon''s Tears to transform into the Dragon''s Body and obtained the Dragon God''s strength. Do you think that the ordinary Dragon Clan can do it?"


    "This ¡­" General Tao was astonished. Such a powerful dragon''s might was something even the little gold dragon couldn''t accomplish. Only the Dragon God could do it.


    "Greetings, aunty!" General Tao still licked his face and called Jun Qiyan ''Aunt'' for no other reason than that she was the daughter of the Dragon God.


    In this strictly hierarchical race, the side branch did not have the qualifications to be directly related to the main branch. Moreover, with his talent, he had already lost track of which side of the family he belonged to.


    "Since everyone is so courteous, let me say a few simple words." Jun Qiyan hung up a charming smile, retracting Long Wei.


    Since the identity of the Dragon God was so useful, then she wouldn''t be polite.


    "All of you, follow your aunt''s instructions." General Tao respectfully lowered his head. Although there was unwillingness in his eyes, he was also afraid of Jun Qiyan''s dignity.


    "I want you to take Little Gold Dragon as your master, rebuild the Dragon Palace, and repent to the loss of your direct descendant, the Eight-winged Golden Dragon." Jun Qianyan enunciated each and every word clearly, using his mental strength and mighty aura to transmit these words to the ears of everyone present.


    When the little gold dragon heard this, his gaze fell upon the proud and charming woman standing in front of him like a ray of sunlight. She actually remembered his blood feud and remembered his tragic death of his family.


    "No! Little Gold is our clan''s traitor!" General Tao roared under the pressure.


    "Traitor?" Jun Qiyan suddenly felt infuriated. He stepped forward step by step, and with each step, the pressure became more and more intense, until General Tao couldn''t even stand up straight.


    "What is a traitor? "If you don''t respect the clan rules, will you be sentenced to death by a bastard?"


    "Offending from below, isn''t it a sentence to rebel against the law?"


    "Joining forces with an enemy to steal and sell?"


    "General Tao, don''t you know where the previous Dragon King''s Dragon Throne came from?" Jun Qiyan stood in front of General Tao, his fingers moved slightly. General Tao was gripped by the neck by a golden dragon qi.


    "Aunt ¡­" "Spare me!" General Tao had no way to fight back against Jun Qiyan. The suppression of his cultivation level had left him unable to release even the aura of a dragon.


    "Who was the one who killed the bastard?" Jun Qiyan glared at him.


    "Yes ¡­" "Me."


    "Who was the one who tried to usurp the throne?" Jun Qiyan continued to interrogate him.


    General Tao could not struggle as he shut his eyes in despair, "Yes ¡­" "Me."


    "Who is the one who stole the clan?" Jun Qiyan had an evil and ruthless look on his face.


    "I have never done anything to steal or sell my clansmen!" Allied foreign enemies and stole clansmen. No matter how despicable he was, he would never do anything that would harm the dragon race.


    Jun Qiyan stared fixedly into General Tao''s eyes as he tried to determine whether his words were true or false. After a long while, he waved his hand, and General Tao smashed into the rubble, his mouth gushing blood.


    "You don''t know?"


    "The previous Dragon King colluded with the Sword Spirit Sect to capture all the direct descendants and conduct experiments. Do you know what kind of experiments they were?" Jun Qiyan''s eyes were empty, his thoughts a little erratic.


    "It is to cut open the dragon''s belly, peel off the dragon''s skin, scrape off the dragon scales, pull out the dragon tendons, drain the dragon blood, and temper the dragon bone." Every time Jun Qiyan spoke, more and more people began to sob. Everyone looked at each other, as if they couldn''t believe what Jun Qiyan was saying.


    "Do you think that''s enough? "No, other than the main branch, your Dragon race sends a certain number of dragons to the sword spirit sect every month. The people there are forcing the dragon clan to join with the human race, and then they pull out the children''s tendons and skin, and burn their bones and scatter their ashes."


    "You all have always prided yourselves on being the most united race. Don''t you all know that there are inexplicably less people?" Jun Qiyan''s voice was like a devil''s voice that echoed in everyone''s ears.


    The people in the audience started to discuss with each other. The number of dragons seemed to be decreasing, but every time, the number of dragons decreased by a small amount. To think that it would be ¡­


    "Now, do you know why that coward chose to self-destruct?" Jun Qiyan''s words once again exploded like a bomb. So the Dragon King turned out to be ¡­ Because the truth was revealed...


    "Is that pervert still your king?"


    "I am willing to take Little Gold Dragon as my master, and give the direct line of the Eight-winged Golden Dragon Clan as their name." Xu Fu stood up while bearing with the majesty of Jun Qianyan, his gaze was already burning with rage.


    It was all because of their blindness. After all these years, they had been loyal subjects of such an indecent and cruel beast that persecuted their people.


    "All of you are willing to take Xiao Jin Long as your master, to be the direct descendant of the Eight-winged Golden Dragon Clan."


    The remaining dragons stood up one after another. Their orderly oaths echoed through the skies, shocking everyone to the point that their heads were standing on end.


    Xiao Jin Long looked at the kneeling crowd below him, and his cold heart gradually thawed. Jun Qiyan appeared in front of him just like a god that had descended from heaven, saving this race that was on the verge of destruction.


    "Qiyan, well done." Feng Chen Lang took a step forward. He had long since been intimidated by Jun Qianyan''s words, just like how they had unconditionally followed her back then.


    She could always make people''s blood boil, make people want to walk further and higher. She could always give you a good beating when you were too pleased, and she could also encourage you to help when you were in a daze.


    That was why people wanted to follow her and pay for her sake.

 C311

    The Dragon Palace was being built in an orderly fashion. Jun Qianyan and the others had become honored guests of the Dragon Clan, and Little Gold had taken back the remnants of the Dragon Clan.


    Most of them he chose to forgive, but only for those who had been directly involved in the murder of the direct line of descent.


    The dragon clan was a land that was surrounded by a sea that was thousands of miles deep. In the center of this sea, there was a deep hell that was specially locked up by the dragon clan.


    The deep sea hell was soaked in the deep sea all year round. It was a bone cage made from the bones of dead dragons, bound by special chains that were deeply rooted in the deep sea.


    One after another, they floated in the deep sea, and were sealed by the Dragon God. Unless one''s cultivation surpassed the Dragon God''s, it was impossible to break through them.


    Furthermore, being guarded by the outer sea sharks, man-eating fish and Flood Dragon, it was truly a hell worthy of being called as one where one would never be able to return.


    Originally, this hellhole could only be opened by a direct descendant of the eight-winged golden dragon. After the destruction of the direct line of descent, this hellhole hadn''t been opened at all.


    Xiao Jin Long was prepared to imprison the Tao Clan in the deep sea hell. Killing them wouldn''t be enough to dispel the hatred in his heart.


    "Jun Qiyan, I need your strength!" Xiao Jin Long found the wandering Jun Qiyan and immediately went straight to the point.


    "Deep Sea Hell? It sounds like a good place! " After Jun Qiyan finished listening to Little Gold''s explanation, his eyes lit up, and the people at the side were also eager to give it a try.


    "My strength alone is not enough to open hell, so I want to ask for your help. Tao Clan, I plan to imprison you." Golden light faintly flowed in Xiao Jin Long''s eyes. The hatred for the annihilation of his clan was irreconcilable.


    "What''s the use of keeping him locked up? Why not kill him to prevent trouble?" Jun Qiyan did not quite understand. From her point of view, cutting the grass did not remove the roots, but rather, rejuvenating the spring breeze.


    "No, living there is more painful than dying." The little gold dragon''s gaze gradually turned distant, as if it was imagining a situation where life was worse than death.


    "Then hurry up, what are you waiting for?" Jun Qianyan evilly smiled as he hurried Little Gold.


    Everyone jumped out to follow Jun Qiyan.


    "The deep sea hell is a thousand miles deep, and only those who transform into a dragon can reach it. Normal people can''t reach it, and even if they can barely reach it, they will instantly freeze into ice."


    Jun Qiyan lightly frowned. "No problem. Lead the way!"


    In the end, everyone still went, hiding in the midst of the Nuwa Stone. The Nuwa Stone instantly became unusually lively, Di Mo Jiu, Feng Chenlang, Jing Jubai, Ye Changsheng, Tao Tou, Baji Snake, cyan light, ball.


    Upon reaching the seaside, the little golden dragon took the lead and took the shape of a dragon, its loud dragon roar echoing in the sky. The golden dragons behind him also turned into their true forms, as they hovered in the clouds.


    The imposing dragon horde flew into the sea, dragging the imprisoned Tao clan behind them. Their faces were now ashen, unable to resist.


    Jun Qiyan was still somewhat unaccustomed to the changes in her body. She waited for the dragons to move before she slowly took form. Then, a magnificent, multicolored golden dragon dove into the water.


    The surging dragon breath that had transformed into a dragon could no longer conceal itself, shaking the sea and causing layers of ripples to spread out. Jun Qiyan''s entire body had already become a vacuum.


    The roaming dragons in the front all felt a strong pressure on their bodies as they stopped one after another, opening up a path for Jun Qiyan.


    Jun Qiyan instantly swam to the side of the little gold dragon and stood shoulder to shoulder with him.


    After swimming for around two hours.


    From far away, they could see the evil sharks and flood dragons biting each other. The surrounding sea water had long since been dyed red and turned black. The smell at the bottom of the sea, which was already dark, became extremely strong.


    Little Gold Dragon and Jun Qiyan both felt that something was wrong. In the past hundred years, there had never been a dragon race that had set foot in the deep sea hell. No one knew what the Winged Sharks and Flood Dragons that were originally suppressed by the dragon race looked like now.


    "Roar ~ ~" The little gold dragon took a step forward and emitted a dragon''s roar, its formidable power engulfing the sea water as it surged over.


    The vicious sharks and flood dragons that were being bitten didn''t know about the arrival of the dragon clan and were knocked over miles without any resistance, spitting out tainted blood one after another from a distance.


    The evil sharks, man-eating fish, and flood dragons all turned their heads to look at the small golden dragon''s group. A trace of clarity flashed through their eyes, and soon after, a ray of red light recklessly rushed over.


    Its huge and sturdy body waved its fangs as it came over in groups. The scene was as magnificent as a beast tide. The seawater was affected and poured towards the dragon clan.


    The dragon race was the master of all kinds of beasts. Amongst beasts of such a high level, the dragon race would never be able to withstand their pressure. The pressure would make them feel fear and admiration from the bottom of their hearts.


    When the little gold dragon struck earlier, the other party''s obvious fear had once again charged forward, regardless of life or death ¡­


    Jun Qiyan''s gaze turned sharp as her draconic tail viciously lashed out, knocking back the incoming sea water.


    An evil shark, a man-eating fish, and a flood dragon retreated after being attacked. They twisted their bodies to charge forward, ready to devour Jun Qianyan and the others alive.


    "What''s going on?" Xiao Jin Long''s voice directly resounded in his mind. It was obviously a mental message.


    "It seems that the security in the Dragon clan prison isn''t good." Jun Qiyan smiled mockingly, instantly transforming into his human form. His aura was released, and his body was cut off from the surrounding seawater, without even a drop of water to be seen.


    "A bunch of ants!" After speaking, she leaned forward and released her powerful spiritual energy. With a wave of her hand, the tranquil seawater was directed by a surge of energy. It frantically revolved against the current, forming a tornado as it charged forward.


    The tornado brought with it a vicious aura as it charged into the herd of beasts. The incomparably hard skin of the Wyrm Devilish Shark man-eating Fish was sliced open by the tornado. Soon, blood could be seen, and flesh and blood flew everywhere.


    The beast herd quickly pushed them away. If they continued to suffer from the damage, they would die without a complete corpse.


    Jun Qianyan was somewhat shocked by her own strength. Ever since she had absorbed the Tears of Dragon, her body seemed to have been filled with an inexhaustible energy. Even though the Aurous Core that she had been desperately cultivating had been replaced by a dragon pearl, it had led to a higher level of cultivation.


    She didn''t know what cultivation she was currently at. She only knew that she could do as she pleased. As long as she slightly used her mental power, the dragon''s might would spread out along with it, causing substantial harm.


    Jun Qiyan suddenly had a bold idea. She suddenly wanted to test where her limits were. Just what kind of surprise would this inexplicable power give her?


    At the same time, the Nuwa Stone in Jun Qiyan''s hand began to emit a faint light.


    Jun Qiyan was completely oblivious to the situation as he looked at the horde of beasts with a pair of bright eyes.


    Suddenly, with a thought, she charged into the beast herd. At the same time, countless water dragons formed from her spiritual energy.


    The dragon clan behind him immediately stepped forward.


    "Don''t move." Jun Qiyan''s voice exploded in everyone''s minds.

 C312

    The movement of the dragon clan members who wanted to advance suddenly stopped. They quietly stood on the spot, waiting for Jun Qiyan.


    "Is this the power of the Dragon God?" The little gold dragon sighed as he looked at Jun Qianyan, who moved without restraint amidst the horde of beasts.


    Amongst the horde of beasts, Jun Qianyan was dressed in red clothes and flying in the air. She was not stingy in using her power, and her powerful spirit energy dealt damage as if she was launching a critical strike.


    Wicked sharks, man-eating fish, and Flood Dragon''s body were all indestructible in the Dragon Continent, but now, they couldn''t even take a single blow from her.


    Countless sharks, man-eating fish, and flood dragons retreated to the back, looking at Jun Qiyan with fear in their eyes. They did not dare to move forward, and the clarity and red light in their eyes alternated repeatedly.


    If Jun Qiyan hadn''t discovered anything amiss, he would''ve been blind. These beasts were obviously under instructions.


    Now that he had lost his consciousness, he only knew how to attack.


    Jun Qiyan stopped her attacks and looked around with a burning gaze. It was pitch black here; one couldn''t even see the bone cage, much less the monster that had been locked up here for a thousand years.


    "Who is controlling the monster horde?" Jun Qiyan used his spiritual power to transmit his voice out to a distance of a hundred miles.


    "Sigh ¡­" After a long while, an old and heavy sigh swept through the crowd like a wave, and swept through Jun Qiyan''s three thousand strands of hair. The surrounding horde of roaring and frenzied beasts instantly quietened down.


    The sea water that had been disturbed by the battle turned into stagnant water and regained its clarity.


    Right now, within the Nuwa Stone, Emperor Mo Jiu couldn''t help but frown. This power didn''t belong to the lower plane ¡­


    Similarly, Jun Qianyan was frowning cautiously. A single sigh from him could easily smooth over this great battle.


    This person... Danger!


    "Little girl ¡­" "You''re still here ¡­" His voice was full of worry, so it was hard to tell if he was a man or a woman.


    "Who are you?" Jun Qiyan looked around for the voice, only to find that it had directly entered his ears and filled the entire space.


    "Come here ¡­"


    Before she finished speaking, Jun Qi had already appeared on a piece of land. In front of her was a single thatched hut. Outside of the house, there were two or three types of bamboo plants, and the room was even filled with the smell of incense.


    A man in snow-white clothes slowly walked out of the thatched cottage. He had a very sinister face. His almond-shaped eyes slanted slightly and his thin lips curled up into a smile. It gave people an uncomfortable feeling.


    The man looked Jun Qiyan up and down with an unreadable look in his eyes.


    "You look very similar to your mother!" It was the cold, thin voice.


    "You know my mother?" Jun Qiyan was surprised. This was the second time she had met someone related to her mother.


    The first was a speech, he couldn''t help but think of that peerlessly beautiful girl in the painting.


    "Tell your friends to come out!" The man didn''t reply to Jun Qiyan, but fixed his gaze on the Nuwa Stone in her hands.


    Jun Qiyan became even more vigilant. The secret of the Nuwa Stone was something that only the few of them knew of, yet this person was able to see through it with a single glance.


    The group of people inside the Nuwa Stone had long since lost their patience. When they heard the voice, they hurriedly rushed out. Di Mo Jiu covered Jun Qiyan up behind him with a pair of dark eyes.


    "The Lord Demon God is also here ¡­" When the man saw Di Mo Jiu, he was momentarily shocked, but soon recovered his indifferent appearance.


    "Who are you?" No one in the Lower Realms would know of his identity.


    "I am Primal Chaos, I''ve heard a lot about you!"


    Chaos, one of the ancient vicious beasts, was on par with Tao Tie, Tao Wu, and Qiong Qi. It was the first one to appear among the four beasts, and its power was also the strongest among the four beasts.


    It was said that the primal chaos possessed an immortal body and would only appear next to the most evil people. It was a type of mind type monster that was best at changing its form to capture one''s soul.


    The Octadic Snake had hidden itself within the Nuwa Stone when it sensed the chaos energy. When the Taotie, who had just come out of the stone, saw the chaos, it immediately felt weird.


    He silently wept in his heart. How did he meet this big shot?


    Although Chaos was similar to them in the eyes of the world, it was much more mysterious. In the past, this person had either not participated in the great battle or had been raised up high, disappearing without a trace for tens of thousands of years.


    Now it actually appeared, and it was even in this shitty lower plane.


    "Yo, little glutton, you don''t seem too happy!" Upon seeing his old acquaintance, the primordial chaos grinned.


    "Um, no need to be unhappy, little ¡­" Isn''t the little glutton excited? " The normally arrogant Taotie was now as obedient as a good grandson.


    "Puff ¡­" Everyone burst out in laughter, the little glutton ¡­ The Taotie''s body was not small at all.


    Tao Tie wanted to cry but had no tears. He also didn''t want to, as hundreds of thousands of years ago he lost to this pervert, so he had to call himself Little Tie in front of him.


    "Do you know who my mother is?" Jun Qiyan''s expression was calm, her mind was filled with all the words that Primal Chaos had just said.


    "Yes, but there are more important things." Chaos nodded and looked to Jun Qianyan, "You''ve already absorbed the Tears of Dragon."


    "Yes." Jun Qiyan nodded. Chaos didn''t seem to have any ill intentions towards them, so she wouldn''t act like a petty person.


    "After you absorbed the Tears of Dragon, do you feel your entire body brimming with energy? You don''t know exhaustion, nor do you know pain." Chaos said affirmatively.


    Jun Qiyan furrowed her brows. It was as if she had been feeling an immense amount of power ever since she had taken the form of a dragon. She didn''t feel tired, nor did she feel any pain.


    "I haven''t suffered any injuries in the past few days, so I naturally feel no pain!"


    "Then what about the injuries from before? "Tears of Dragon is not such a docile thing." Chaos'' tone became serious, his eyes shining.


    Before?


    She had always thought that it was Dragon''s Tears that repaired her broken body ¡­


    But it was as if she didn''t feel any pain after that ¡­


    Jun Qiyan''s heart thumped as a bad premonition filled his heart.


    "Your injuries have never healed, and after battling for a few days, I''m afraid you''ve already overused your body and are extremely weak." Chaos sighed, his heart aching as he looked at Jun Qiyan.


    "Then why can''t I feel it!" Jun Qiyan hurried to check his pulse, pulse disorder, fast and slow.


    In his body, his heart, liver, spleen, and lungs had long since moved and were still showing signs of bleeding. The dragon pearl in his dantian rotated at high speeds, and the spirit energy continued to rampage within his body.


    How did this happen? When did it start?


    "The body of the dragon is your true body, but because it has been sealed, it has been cultivated in a human fashion. Transforming into a dragon means that the core will explode, giving up the body of a human and all of their cultivation bases."


    "So, you are actually welcoming the power of the Dragon God with the attitude of a newborn baby dragon." In the dragon race''s time, she was still a baby at the dragon''s egg.


    "Ever since the birth of the dragon clan, they were able to receive the power of their parents. However, they have the protection of the dragon egg, which can be absorbed over several hundreds of years. As for you, you do not have the protection of the dragon egg."


    They could only be eroded by the power.

 C313

    Jun Qiyan trembled in disbelief.


    "Everyone believes that Tears of Dragon is the crystallization of the Dragon God''s power, and that only by absorbing it can one obtain the Dragon God''s power. Actually, the Dragon''s Tear is an inheritance left by the Dragon God for your daughter, the only person in this world that can absorb it is you!" The chaotic sound gradually became distant and muffled.


    "What should I do!?" Jun Qiyan calmed down. At this point, she finally understood why Primal Chaos was here. It must be because of her. As for who had entrusted her with it, she could roughly guess.


    "You need to return to the dragon egg!" Chaos was concise and concise.


    What? Everyone was dumbstruck. Was this letting Jun Qiyan go back to his shell and come out again?


    "You haven''t completely absorbed your father''s legacy. Right now, it is only the Nuwa Stone''s power protecting you. If you don''t absorb it soon ¡­" You will die! "


    Everyone was stunned. Jun Qiyan looked to be in high spirits now. How could she possibly die?!


    Di Mo Jiu stopped Jun Qiyan, and saw the heaviness in her eyes, which meant that Qiyan knew that her body was no longer able to take care of itself.


    When he was in the Upper Plane, he had indeed heard that children of the dragon race had to receive the inheritance and the power of their parents. However, he did not expect that Qiyan would ¡­


    "What kind of egg? Tell me how you''re going to get in." Di Mo Jiu''s expression was cold and his eyes were as deep as a wolf''s.


    Primal Chaos shook his head and took out a small and exquisite eggshell. On the eggshell were engravings of complicated and difficult to understand runes. It seemed to be one with the world, exuding an ancient aura and familiar power.


    "This is the egg shell that gave birth to the Dragon God. It was originally broken and was forcefully gathered using forbidden techniques, but now it''s called a reincarnation dragon egg. It can wash all the dirt in the body and make the spirit energy purer." Chaos'' narration sounded like a narrative. This was something that that man would rather suffer a backlash to produce.


    Everyone looked at the dragon egg in shock.


    This was the egg that gave birth to the Dragon God! How powerful must that be?


    Jun Qiyan stretched out her hand to receive the dragon egg. A warm sensation spread through her body and her expression changed slightly. A familiar atmosphere spread from the dragon egg into her heart.


    This power and Tears of Dragon shared the same origin, but it was a hundred times more gentle than Tears of Dragon.


    "If you drip your heart blood on it, it will become its owner. This is a treasure your father left you, it can be considered an extremely good training ground."


    When Jun Qianyan heard this, he hurriedly circulated his energy and intended to force out a drop of his blood. Unexpectedly, the explosive power within his body began to collide with the power, causing his body to shift and shift; his internal organs to rupture; and the pain of having all his meridians ruptured came gushing straight at him.


    "Ugh!" Jun Qiyan gave a muffled groan as he spat a mouthful of blood onto the dragon egg.


    "Crap, the Nuwa Stone can''t protect you any longer. Hurry up and go in." Primal Chaos'' expression was grave as he struck Jun Qianyan with a black mist, protecting her heart meridian.


    Di Moyu held the untenable Jun Qianyan as his eyes turned as dark as ink. He never thought that even if he was always by her side, he wouldn''t be able to protect her and even caused her to suffer such a life-threatening injury.


    "I''m fine." Jun Qiyan tried her best to comfort Di Mo Jiu with the pain. If the dragon race was her territory, then she would have to suffer all these consequences sooner or later. Di Mo Jiu could not stop or protect her.


    At this time, the Reincarnation Dragon egg absorbed the blood that Jun Qiyan spat out, and it slowly grew to the point that it could accommodate a person. A beam of golden light lit up, and slowly wrapped around Jun Qiyan.


    The golden light dispersed, leaving only a gigantic dragon egg in the middle. Jun Qiyan had already entered the reincarnation dragon egg.


    What kind of pain was this!


    Jun Qiyan thought back to the scene of her body exploding in her previous life. How painful it was to die with blood and flesh splattering everywhere. Her consciousness had sunk too quickly, she couldn''t even feel any pain.


    Right now, his meridians were ruptured one by one as blood spurted out like a pillar. All the organs in his body were failing, and countless amounts of blood energy gushed out from the corners of his tightly shut mouth.


    The bones seemed to have broken into countless pieces.


    It was as if he had been nailed by countless nails into the deep sea.


    "It hurts." Jun Qiyan''s lips moved as blood flowed out from his eyes and nose.


    Suddenly, her body entered a warm place, like a modern velvet bed. Her consciousness gradually sank down.


    A warm current flowed through her pores, as if her father''s large hands had calmed down all the restless energy.


    "Sleep ~"


    In the last moment before his consciousness dissipated, Jun Qiyan heard a voice as gentle as the wind.


    "How long will she be here?" Di Mo Jiu raised his eyebrows and looked at the Chaos who was drinking leisurely tea opposite of him.


    "It varies from person to person." Chaos drank a mouthful of tea and ignored the anxious group standing across from him.


    On the other side, Tao Tie raised his eyebrows at the shivering Octadic Snake hiding behind Di Mo Jiu''s back, "Why did you come out?"


    The Octavo Snake whined, wanting to cry but had no tears. "How would I know? He was suddenly ejected."


    He was afraid of the primal chaos, scared to death. If he was able to follow Jun Feiyan inside, he would probably cry from excitement.


    Feng Chen Lang, Jing Ji Bai, and Ye Changsheng were silently squatting in a corner. Right now, their presence was too weak, and the ones in front of them were actually not humans.


    Jun Qiyan''s dragon race had been in a state of upheaval this time, and none of them had noticed that she had been seriously injured. Damn it.


    "How long is it that varies from person to person!" Di Mo Jiu asked again. He was worried about Jun Qianyan not coming out for a while, worried about not coming out for a day.


    Primal Chaos glanced at Di Mo Jiu and impatiently said, "Forty to eighty years at the least, or seven to eight hundred years at the most."


    AHH!" "Ah!


    Feng Chenlang and the others gaped.


    "Then we must not die of old age here!" They were just ordinary humans. Their lifespan was limited.


    "Listen to me finish ¡­ The egg will stay in the outside world for ten years. "


    It was a sacred place for the healing of Jun Qiyan''s injuries that had been specially constructed by that person. How could it be the same as the outside world if he were to engrave the Time Laws into it?


    The people outside were shocked, Jun Qiyan could not feel any of this.


    At this moment, her consciousness was in a cycle of life and death. She saw a flower bud that had gone from a seed to a mature flower, and then finally to a withered flower.


    He saw another person grow from birth to death.


    Finally, there was the dragon race. They were pregnant for three years and gave birth to dragon eggs. The eggs grew in a warm environment, and inside the eggs, small dragons grew from formless to visible. They grew horns and scales ¡­


    Looking at the little dragon swimming in the huge eggshell, he licked the essence in the egg when he was hungry, and went to sleep on the ground when he was tired.


    They studied, grew, and trained in the egg.


    They accepted the legacy left behind by the egg and gained basic knowledge and wisdom about the outside world.


    They continuously trained and absorbed the energy left behind by their parents, knowing that they could break out of the egg''s shell ¡­


    "Phew ~ Phew ¡­" Jun Qiyan woke up, panting heavily.

 C314

    Her body transformed into the form of an infant, snow-white and lustrous, strands of golden light coiling around her body.


    Jun Qiyan sat up unsteadily in her seat, moving her chubby hands and feet. Her surroundings were a vast expanse of whiteness. A round purple pearl hung in the sky, exactly like Tears of Dragon.


    Just a little too small.


    Jun Qiyan knew that this was the Dragon''s Tears that she had swallowed. She had absorbed a portion of it, and there was still some that her body could not handle.


    This space was a training ground specially built for the dragon race.


    Just like a mother''s amniotic fluid was effective on a baby, so was the effect of the dragon egg on her.


    Her current body was back when she was born, reborn as a dragon to better accept the Dragon God''s inheritance.


    Thinking of this, Jun Qiyan sat down cross-legged. Looking within her body, she saw that the dragon pearl within her dantian had been placed down, and was no longer rotating like before.


    She started to absorb the Qi into her body according to the original method. The spiritual energy in the eggshell seemed to have found a direction as it rushed into her body.


    With the initial Qi Drawing in his body, his body was like an inverted hourglass, waiting to be filled up.


    Large amounts of golden light surrounded her, wrapping her in a ball of light.


    Innumerable amounts of spiritual energy flowed through her body, cleansing her meridians and her internal organs time and time again.


    "Hiss ~" Jun Qiyan''s tiny body was drenched in cold sweat. The spirit energy that was gushing out from his meridians was like a surging river, washing over and over again, widening, scouring, and widening.


    Therefore, the wider the meridian, the more spiritual energy it could contain. The faster the attack speed using spiritual energy, and the higher the cultivation level, the easier it was for the spiritual energy to be exhausted.


    Of course, the true cause of spiritual energy depletion was the aurous core, which was where spiritual energy was stored.


    Jun Qiyan was not a human being and had already lost his Jindan. Although the dragon pearl and the Jindan were of similar strength, they were still more powerful than the Jindan; the Jindan was equivalent to the inner core of a beast.


    At this moment, the dragon pearl was like a bottomless pit, constantly absorbing the spiritual energy within his body. Every time it absorbed the spiritual energy, the dragon pearl would become more transparent, and at the end, it would slowly rotate.


    Jun Qiyan didn''t know how long she meditated until she felt that the spiritual energy in the dragon egg had almost been completely absorbed. Then, she opened her eyes.


    At this moment, she was no longer in the form of an infant, but a slim and graceful young girl. Her body was somewhat transparent, and she was covered in stains all over.


    Her curled eyelashes were covered in a layer of silver frost. Her tightly shut eyes trembled as she slowly opened them.


    A stream of air flowed into his eyes. His pair of golden eyes were like a milky way that encompassed everything, and they were filled with spirit energy.


    In just a moment, his golden pupils turned into a pair of inky black eyes that glowed brightly.


    Jun Qiyan raised her eyes to look at the Dragon''s Tears hanging above her head. She then stood up and transformed into a golden dragon, circling around the Dragon''s Tears.


    The golden dragon spat out a mist and shrouded the dragon''s tears. The power of the dragon''s tears wrapped around the mist, creating a faint thread of energy between Jun Qiyan and himself.


    Jun Qiyan narrowed her eyes and used her own strength to wrap around the Tears of Dragon in an attempt to absorb its power.


    The frenzied Tears of Dragon became docile in the Dragon egg''s space. After entering Jun Qiyan''s body, they fused with the other spirit energy and slowly entered the dragon pearl.


    When the Dragon Pearl felt the Dragon''s Tears, it began to cheer and spin faster, rapidly absorbing the Dragon''s Tears.


    As time passed, a trace of blood leaked out of the corner of Jun Qiyan''s mouth. What was going on?


    The dragon pearl within his body that was happily absorbing the power from the Tears of Dragon suddenly stopped, no longer accepting the power from the Tears of Dragon.


    This is?


    Jun Qiyan frowned. Before she could think about it further, she had already stopped absorbing the Dragon''s Tears.


    The inside of the dragon egg immediately calmed down. Jun Qiyan carefully felt the energy inside the egg and found that it was already very thin. The only thing that seemed to be missing was the tears of the dragon.


    Only after calming down did she think of her companions outside, and with a thought, she appeared in the real world.


    Di Mo Jiu had been standing guard beside the dragon egg for more than ten days. He kept staring at the dragon egg, waiting for Jun Qiyan to appear.


    Thus, the Jun Qiyan that had just appeared fell into Di Mo Jiu''s embrace.


    Staring at each other, Jun Qiyan''s face was now even more captivating than before.


    "Madam is very proactive. Your husband is very satisfied." Di Mo Jiu was the first to react as he reached out his arms to hug Jun Feiyan.


    Jun Qiyan was completely stupefied. This damned bastard, how could he possibly throw himself into her arms?


    "Cough, let go of me first." Jun Qiyan was a bit embarrassed, her cheeks were flushed red. She had no idea how alluring she was in Di Mo Jiu''s eyes.


    "Damn, Qiyan, why did you become so beautiful again?" In a flash, Jing Ji Bai also reacted, rushing over at high speed, only to stare at Jun Qiyan''s face that could shake the world.


    Jun Qiyan immediately pushed Di Mo Jiu aside and stood up. Looking at the stunned gazes of the crowd, she knew that her appearance had probably improved yet again.


    "Thank you for your praise, thank you for your praise!" Jun Qiyan smiled sweetly without a trace of modesty.


    However, the calm and composed Primal Chaos at the side had a change in his expression. He looked at Jun Feiyan with a complicated gaze, as if he was looking at someone through her eyes.


    Jun Qiyan also noticed Primal Chaos''s burning gaze and looked at him coldly. "Do you know my mother?!"


    This man had mentioned her mother from the start. He must have known about the news about her mother.


    Chaos'' gaze suddenly paused, then he smiled. "You and your mother are 90% similar."


    "Who is my mother?" Jun Qiyan once again thought of the woman in the painting. That person must be extraordinary.


    "Your mother ¡­ Right now, you are still not suitable to know. Primal Chaos sighed, and was filled with love and affection for Jun Qiyan.


    It was the kind of kindness an elder felt towards his juniors.


    "I have already inherited the legacy of the Dragon God. I still don''t have the power?" Jun Qiyan suddenly felt sour.


    Her parents had abandoned her from the moment she was born, and now they didn''t even let her know their identities. How could they gain power? She had already worked so hard, but in the end she still didn''t tell her anything.


    Why did they deprive her of the right to know the truth?


    "The enemies of your parents are not someone the current you can deal with. He is just a mere SemiGod." The voice from the primordial chaos was incomparably ancient.


    "SemiGod?" Jun Qianyan narrowed his cold eyes as he caught the main point of the flurry of words.


    "You should also know that your father is the Dragon God, and your mother isn''t! Their enemies are all full gods, do you still think your strength is enough? "


    As the name implies, demigods only have the bloodline of half a god, and their strength is not pure enough.


    Jun Qiyan was stunned. All of her mind? This was the first time she had heard of this term.

 C315

    "What''s more, you still can''t completely absorb your father''s power right? In this place, you can''t even get an increase in your strength anymore, and your body''s endurance has reached its limit." The chaotic voice suddenly became erratic, and the slender figure gradually turned transparent, with the intention of dissipating.


    Jun Qiyan suddenly became agitated and asked, "Where are my parents?"


    "Come to the upper echelon. Your parents are waiting for you there ¡­" Chaos pulled out a faint smile, and then vanished into a cloud of black mist.


    It was actually a doppelganger? Everyone was surprised. It was no wonder that the Lower Realm could not contain people with the power of Chaos.


    Jun Qiyan suddenly felt a bit lost. This Chaos seemed to have simply come down to deliver her the reincarnated dragon egg. As she thought this, she took out the small and exquisite Reincarnation Dragon egg in her hand.


    Di Mo Jiu could feel Jun Qiyan''s mood. He patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "Alright, when everything here is over, can we go to the upper echelons?"


    Jun Qiyan''s eyes lit up as he looked at Di Mo Jiu with hope, "Really? Didn''t you say that there''s no way to get up there? "


    "There is indeed no normal way, but it''s different now. You are a demigod and have a way up." Di Mo Jiu smiled. Ordinary ascension was no longer possible, but Jun Qiyan was already a member of the dragon race, and the dragon race could go to the Upper Plane, although it was somewhat troublesome.


    "Yes." Jun Qiyan nodded in excitement. She trusted Di Mo Jiu unconditionally, as this man was not someone from this plane. Since he could come down, there was naturally a way to go up.


    "About that, don''t be so intimate with me for now, this place seems to be about to collapse." Feng Chen Lang shouted at the two of them. Only now did the two notice that this elegant place was shaking, and the falling stones in the surrounding area collapsed like an earthquake.


    This was a small world created by the power of the primal chaos. Now that the primal chaos had vanished, the small world naturally collapsed.


    Thinking up to this point, Jun Qiyan couldn''t help but sigh at the power of chaos. She also had a preliminary understanding of what the divine world was like.


    "Hurry and enter the Nuwa Stone. This should still be the Infernal Realm of the Deep Sea." Jun Qiyan called out, and everyone was sucked into the Nuwa Stone.


    After that, she turned into a dragon and flew towards the place where the small world had collapsed. At this moment, the dragon''s body was flowing with a multicolored golden light. It was extremely gorgeous.


    "Bang ~ ~" The minor world completely vanished. Jun Qiyan appeared in the middle of the ocean, facing the dragon group.


    When Xiao Jin Long saw the sudden appearance of Jun Qianyan, he was startled. At this time, they had already locked up all of the Tao Clan members and were preparing to leave. He originally thought that Jun Qianyan had already gone back.


    "Hey, grandson, did you lock up my nephew?" Jun Qiyan smiled as she stepped forward, her gaze falling upon the cages that could be seen everywhere. The cages were about twenty square meters in size, and the dragon race had no choice but to curl up inside.


    "¡­" Xiao Jin Long''s eyes were sinister. Why did he feel that Jun Yunzhi was scolding him, but he didn''t have any evidence.


    "Aiya, why is his face so ugly? It''s so ugly!" Not only did she obtain strength from the egg, but she also received some memories. This was the history of the dragon race, so right now she had a very good impression of the dragon race.


    "You ¡­ "Where did you go?" After a long time, Xiao Jin Long finally spoke.


    "I didn''t go anywhere. I was just strolling around. Where''s the beast tide?"


    "After you disappeared, they recovered their consciousness and no longer casually attacked you." The little gold dragon answered truthfully.


    Jun Qiyan nodded. It was true that these beasts had all been affected by the power of chaos, which had caused them to lose their minds. Once Chaos received her, there would be no need for them to control the beast tide.


    "Since the sinners have been punished, then you can come with me to suppress the Sword Spirit Sect!" Jun Qiyan''s gaze instantly turned sharp, exuding a frosty light.


    Little Gold Dragon''s complexion wasn''t too good either. He nodded and everyone returned to the Dragon Palace.


    White City


    Gu Yao quietly sat inside the study room. The patrols outside would pass by the entrance once every fifteen minutes, showing how heavily guarded the guards were.


    It was unknown when the people from the Sword Spirit Sect had retreated. It was likely that they really couldn''t break the White City Guards. They had gone back to discuss their plan.


    Gu Yao looked at the paper in front of him, his face as black as the bottom of a pot. That man ¡­


    However ¡­


    "Bang ~ ~" A series of explosions rang out. This was the City Lord''s Mansion of White City, and it was the most heavily guarded place. How could there be an explosion here?


    Gu Yao pursed his lips and walked out.


    The guards outside were caught off guard by the explosion, and their flesh and blood splattered everywhere.


    Standing in the middle were Bai Qiuhu and the black clothed man. What was going on? Wasn''t it said that the people from the Sword Spirit Sect had already retreated? How could they land in the City Lord''s Mansion?


    Everyone''s eyes were wide open as they glared fiercely at the person in the middle who was surrounded by layers of people. Tao Wu was the first one who stood up and struck out with full might.


    The ground where Tao Wu had originally been standing was directly penetrated by a single strike. The cracks spread for several meters, showing just how powerful it was.


    With Zhu Wu leading the charge, the rest of the group also rushed up. Gu Yao''s sharp eyes were fixated on the black clothed man''s movements. After fighting for a long time, the man only dodged and had no momentum to attack.


    There were only two people from the Sword Spirit Sect ¡­


    What were they trying to do? Gu Yao pondered deeply, but he didn''t notice that the direction the black-clothed man was dodging was getting closer and closer to him.


    "Break!" The black-clothed man casually threw out a kick, causing those who rushed over to him to be thrown back. For a moment, Tao Wu was forced half a step back.


    The black clothed man took advantage of this gap to suddenly attack Gu Yao. A long whip appeared in his hand and tightly wrapped around Gu Yao.


    Gu Yao''s throat tightened as he looked at the increasingly tight rope on his body. He circulated his energy and struggled ¡­


    "Stop struggling, this is not something you can struggle against!" The dark voice of the man in black suddenly sounded in his ears. At this moment, he had already become a hostage that the man in black had kidnapped.


    "Tao Wu, if you dare to come again, then I''ll be rude to him." The black clothed man''s cold eyes were like a venomous snake.


    Tao Wu''s attacking pace stopped. Gu Yao was Jun Qianyan''s friend. He could not hurt him.


    "Haha ¡­" The black clothed man''s ear-piercing laughter resounded through the night, "You sure have some use!"


    "Hmph." Gu Yao furrowed his brows. Facing the mockery of the black-robed figure, he had no power to resist.


    "Clang ~ ~" Another sharp sound rang out and smoke was released from the other side. The three figures disappeared from the spot.


    Seeing that Gu Yao had been kidnapped, even Zhu Wu''s face fell. This was great! The Sword Spirit Sect had actually kidnapped Gu Yao right under his nose. If Jun Qianyan came back, she wouldn''t be able to skin him alive.

 C316

    Little Gold Dragon was the victim of this conspiracy, so he had to participate as well. There were also many dragons that volunteered to take revenge on their own accord, and in the end, half of the dragon race members of all sizes actually participated in this crusade.


    The dragon race majestically set off, directly passing through the space array to arrive at White City.


    "..." "I''ll go." The eyes of the crowd in White City were almost blinded as they looked at the crowd of people falling from the sky. What kind of godly person was this? He was someone who did not walk the normal path.


    "It''s the City Lord ¡­" The sharp-eyed citizens who saw the shadow of Jun Qiyan immediately shouted.


    "The Mayor has returned with reinforcements." The other citizens also began to get excited.


    Jun Qiyan''s figure flashed as she landed on the ground. The rest of the group also emerged from the Nuwa Stone, and they safely arrived at White City.


    "Where''s Gu Yao?" Jun Qiyan looked around but didn''t see any trace of Gu Yao. Logically speaking, he should have been the first one to come out and greet them when they returned.


    "This ¡­" The crowd was a bit hesitant, but they couldn''t say anything. After all, Gu Yao had been openly captured by their hands.


    At the same time, after Tao Wu found out that Jun Qiyan was hiding in the City Lord''s Mansion and didn''t dare to come out, he smelled the strong scent of a dragon. This was a race that he had eaten before ¡­


    On the other side, when Jun Qiyan found out that Gu Yao had been captured by the Sword Spirit Sect, she was furious.


    However, just as he was about to rush into the City Lord''s Mansion, he bumped into Jun Qianyan.


    When Tao Wu saw Jun Qiyan''s tranquil expression, he was puzzled to see her sniff the air, causing his expression to turn grave.


    "Why do you have the smell of a dragon on you?"


    "Why did you let Gu Yao be kidnapped?"


    The two of them spoke at the same time. Jun Qiyan raised her eyebrows. Only now did she recall that this Taowu fellow had a grudge with the Dragon Clan.


    "I''m a dragon now." Jun Qiyan did not hide anything. Regardless of what grudge there was between Tao Wu and the dragon race, it had nothing to do with her now.


    Moreover, Tao Wu was already her contracted beast.


    "What!" Tao Wu was so frightened that he took half a step back. He never thought that Jun Qianyan was from the dragon race. Even the women of the dragon race were ugly. Just which dragon could give birth to a descendant like Jun Qianyan?


    "I found out about the mystery of my past in the Dragon clan, put these aside first. Tell me, how did you let Gu Yao escape?" To cut a long story short, Jun Qiyan directly asked Taowu.


    "This... I can''t do anything about this. They kidnapped Gu Yao first, I can''t exactly make a move on Gu Yao, can I? " It was obvious that he felt somewhat guilty. Regardless of the process, Gu Yao, the weak human, had indeed been taken away right under his nose. This was something he could not refute.


    "Sigh, Taowu, it''s not me who said that." Feng Chenlang this idiot stood out once again, "Why are you so weak like a little glutton? Look at him, he''s a mess, and is also one of the four great ferocious beasts. He''s much more powerful than you guys!"


    Feng Chen Lang learned the name of Chaos and also started to call it Taotie Little Tie.


    "What are you called this sovereign for?" The Taotie was the first one to be unconvinced. He, Tang Tang Tang''s ancient fierce beast, was now called a nickname by a mortal. He absolutely could not endure it.


    Seeing the Taotie looking as if it was going to eat someone, Feng Chen Lang immediately hid behind Jun Qiyan, sticking out his tongue at the Taotie.


    "We were all suppressed by our cultivation in the lower realms. How are they weak ¡­ No, you just said Chaos. " Just as Tao Wu was about to explain, he suddenly stopped.


    "Right. We saw you, big brother Primordial Chaos, in the Dragon clan." Beijing, Ji Bai, interjected in time.


    Zhu Wu instantly felt goosebumps all over his body. Could that creature Chaos also be in the Lower Realm? It can''t be ¡­


    If that thing was here, how could the Lower Realms be so peaceful ¡­


    "Don''t worry, he''s not here." The Taotie knew what Tao Wu was thinking, so she opened her mouth to explain, allowing him to heave a sigh of relief.


    "Alright, Tao Wu. I''ll remember you this time. It''s more important to save Gu Yao now. Do you know where the Sword Spirit Sect is now?" Jun Qiyan interrupted the crowd and changed the topic.


    "I don''t know, I''ve already inspected this country. The Sword Spirit Sect seems to have vanished from the face of the earth." Tao Wu shook his head. He went to look for Gu Yao the day he was captured. He originally wanted to bring Gu Yao back before Jun Qiyan returned. Unexpectedly, no one from the Sword Spirit Sect was around.


    "Not in this country?" Jun Qianyan narrowed her cold eyes, "Is there still a way to run to the Upper Plane? As long as you''re still in the Eastern Xuan Continent, I''ll say that I will grind the bones of the Sword Spirit Sect to dust even if I have to dig three feet across the entire continent."


    Destroying the Jun Family, hurting her loved ones, kidnapping her friends, slaying dragons, and exterminating humans.


    She would remember every single one of them well and make them pay with their blood.


    You think you''re safe and sound just because you''re hiding?


    When Jun Qianyan said that they wanted to search the entire Eastern Profound Continent, she really did search the entire continent. White City was one of the top forces in the Eastern Profound Continent, and with the help of the Divine Fault Pavilion, the speed at which this news spread was extremely fast.


    She first went to the palace to find Di Yuming. Through the royal family, she issued a bounty of one hundred million gold coins to the people of the Sword Spirit Sect.


    Just one gold coin was enough to cover an average person''s monthly expenses.


    A hundred million gold coins must be half the national treasury of a country.


    Such a large sum could only be taken out by the suddenly rich Jun Qiyan.


    Countless mercenaries who wanted to kill someone for money had joined the search for more people.


    The Divine Fault Pavilion had also placed a bounty on the black market. At this point, all the cultivators on the entire continent were pulled to search for people.


    When the cultivators saw each other, they discussed about the matters of the Sword Spirit Sect. It was as if everyone had started a competition that everyone knew of, and was quite courageous and fierce.


    On the other side, after the dragon race and Tao Wu had engaged in a battle of attrition, they were forced to stand under the same sky by Jun Qiyan.


    Jun Qiyan''s magical beasts were all sent to the middle of the forest to chat with the magical beasts.


    The main reason was so that the Magic Beasts could join the search. The Howling Cry Forest was located in the middle of the Eastern Xuan Continent and took up a large area of the continent.


    If one were to say who was the most familiar with such a large forest, it would be the magical beasts that lived in it all year round.


    "Bro, did you understand what I just said?" Taowu embraced the beast king at the side, his sinister smile causing the beast king beside him to tremble in fear.


    What kind of day were these? Why did so many big shots come today? There were dragons over there, and this was an ancient vicious beast. His heart couldn''t bear it.


    "Listen..." I understand. " The beast king frantically nodded his head. He was familiar with the people he was looking for, he was familiar with them.

    There''s a fall


    Jun Qiyan was concocting pills in his room, while the Taotie and Taowu outside were busy reporting on the progress of their search in the Howling Forest.


    It was said that in the center of the Howling Forest, there was a strange hollow area. In other words, although it looked normal on the surface, it was empty at the bottom.


    Right now, the entire continent was searching for the people of the Sword Spirit Sect. Those people had actually gone to the middle of the Howling Forest so openly.


    Jun Qiyan lifted a finger and poured elemental energy into the furnace. Fortunately, although she had transformed into a dragon, her original spirit root hadn''t changed.


    "Bang ~" These few days, Jun Qiyan had been concocting pills day and night in order to replenish the energy consumed by her fights with the Sword Spirit Sect.


    "Gather the men, we went and kicked their nests." Jun Qiyan''s eyes turned cold as she looked into the distance with her watery almond-shaped eyes.


    "Sword Spirit Sect, I will definitely make you pay with blood this time."


    By the time Jun Qianyan had finished packing the medicinal pills, the outside was already packed with people. The people of the Dragon clan and the Taowu clan were still as hostile as ever.


    Di Mo Jiu had already appeared by her side. The people from the Divine Fault Pavilion were impressively present, and Di Yaming had also sent some people over, as well as some unknown people gathered in Bai City. However, he didn''t deny it.


    With such a group of people gathered together, Jun Qiyan didn''t dare to be impolite and say that they were the forces at the peak of the Lower Realm, the characters at the peak of the Lower Realm.


    Jun Qiyan looked at the people in front of her one by one, revealing a magnificent smile. It was as if the surrounding air was being sucked away, causing one to feel suffocated.


    Everyone looked at her with admiration, surprise and even greed ¡­


    Di Mo Jiu''s aura instantly turned cold as he stared at the restless crowd. He was so shocked that he felt as though he was falling into a cave of ice, silently retreating half a step, not daring to let his imagination run wild again.


    Indeed, it was not good to have a wife that was too beautiful, as it always made him uneasy.


    "Everyone, thank you for coming all the way to White City. We only have one goal, and that is to eliminate the evil creature that has wreaked havoc in the human world ¡ª the Sword Spirit Sect. Please let this land remain peaceful." Jun Qiyan''s voice exploded in everyone''s minds with the intention of using his spiritual power to intimidate these people.


    On the other hand, her own people were fine, so she was afraid that someone might get mixed in. Right now, she had to show off her ability so that those with ill intentions could get rid of them as soon as possible.


    "The Sword Spirit Sect slaughtered humans without permission and killed all the humans that were captured. They also forced them to conduct human experiments and even wantonly captured magical beasts, demon beasts, and dragons to kill them. This kind of person is not only my enemy alone, but also the enemy of all living beings in the Eastern Xuan Continent."


    Everyone''s blood boiled with passion when they heard this, especially the Dragon Tribe. Their noble race had been ruthlessly murdered after being set up by the Sword Spirit Sect. Their hatred for the Dragon Tribe was the heaviest.


    When Jun Qiyan saw that everyone was filled with righteous indignation, she nodded her head. Now that everyone''s morale had been roused, they would be even more united.


    "In addition, I, Jun Qiyan, do not tolerate anyone with second thoughts. If you do not intend to punish me, then you might have other intentions ¡­" Jun Qiyan sneered as he took out his oppressive aura, causing the faces of those with low cultivation to go pale.


    So powerful.


    "Hurry up and get out of here, otherwise, if you are discovered by me, it won''t be as simple as death." Jun Qianyan''s threatening voice echoed throughout the hall, bringing with it a sinister and dangerous atmosphere. Some people were sweating profusely and left in silence. Seeing this, Jun Qianyan smiled in satisfaction.


    This kind of person would only drag his opponent down in battle, or even stab him in the back. It was best that he could make him scram now.


    "Let''s go!" Jun Qiyan gave a command and majestically headed toward the Howling Forest. The magical beasts of the Howling Forest had already received the news long ago. Seeing so many people appear to lead the way, their target was the hollow in the middle.


    The cultivators who were unaware of the situation thought that a horde of beasts had appeared in the Howling Moonwood and were sweating profusely because of fear, but in the end, they saw the other party respectfully greet Jun Qianyan and take the initiative to lead the way.


    This scene stupefied many people. In their eyes, a ferocious beast like a magical beast could neither contract nor kill. If a normal person were to see a magical beast, they would have to run away.


    However, Jun Qiyan...


    Jun Qiyan didn''t know what kind of shock this action had left in the hearts of the cultivators, nor did she know that many years later, these people would come to think of her as the Lord of All Beasts.


    With the magical beasts leading the way, everyone quickly arrived at the location. If they looked carefully, they would see that it was no different from any other place. Jun Qiyan used his psychic power to investigate the area, and confirmed that the ground below was indeed empty.


    Using violence to explode on the surface was obviously not good. Moreover, there might be a lot of creatures to conduct experiments on.


    Everyone was clearly aware of this fact and was looking around for entrances. It was impossible for such places to not have entrances.


    Jun Qiyan carefully observed the curved hole in the ground below. It was like a labyrinth, spreading downwards.


    That being the case.


    Jun Qiyan gathered a red fireball, wrapped it in spirit energy, and threw it towards the ground.


    BOOM! A meter-deep crater was formed on the ground, revealing a deep tunnel.


    Afterwards, Jun Qianyan madly threw the explosive airflow into the open space, continuously blasting holes in the ground and opening countless entrances.


    Even with such a large commotion, there was no reaction from below, nor did any Sword Spirit Sect members come out ¡­


    These empty floors took up hundreds of miles of space. From this, one could see how grand the project was. Were the people from the Sword Spirit Sect really here?


    How were they going to dig so much underground?


    "This underground cave should be a maze. Let''s split up and go down. This is a pill that can quickly replenish spirit energy and heal wounds."


    Jun Qiyan waved his hand, and countless bottles of medicinal pills appeared on the ground. Everyone looked at her with a complicated expression in their eyes.


    What kind of person was this? Was he giving out pills like candy?


    She could actually squander pills that were usually hard to buy outside of the city, and even give them to them ¡­


    "Thank you, City Lord." Those who didn''t know what had happened trembled as they received the pill, hurriedly thanking him.


    "There are many dangers down here. Everyone, be careful. I''ll be going first." With that, Jun Qianyan found a random hole and jumped down, followed by Di Mo Jiu, Jing Ji Bai, and the three young masters.


    Xiao Jin Long originally wanted to follow Jun Qiyan, but since there were enough people, he could only bring the remaining dragon clan reinforcements and enter another pit.


    The rest of them also chose their own entrances one after another. Soon, they all went underground.

 C318

    Jun Qiyan and his men had only taken a few steps when they missed the entrance of the cave. The ground was actually quite thin, and as soon as they touched it, they fell down. They streaked down a long path.


    "Damn." Jun Qiyan didn''t react at all. In the end, he could only use his spiritual qi to protect his body from injury.


    "Ah ~ Ah ~ Ah ~ Ah ~ ~" The pig-slaughtering sounds of the crowd behind them clearly indicated that the place where Jun Qiyan had stepped on had swept the others off their feet as well.


    "Eh ¡­" After hearing the sound of Tao Wu''s pig slaughtering, Jing Ji Bai and Feng Chenlang, who were unaffected, closed their eyes and jumped down.


    After falling for a long time, they finally fell to the ground with a loud crash. Di Mo Jiu accelerated and held on to Jun Qianyan, who was lying on the ground. It was time for him to smash his own body into the ground.


    Jun Qiyan was stunned. She had not expected Di Mo Jiu to rush over.


    "You don''t need to protect me. I''m now the Dragon God, my skin is rough and my flesh is thick and this bit of pain feels itchy." Jun Qiyan hurriedly stood up and looked at Di Mo Jiu, who was below him.


    Di Mo Jiu frowned, "Qiyan is getting stronger now, don''t you need me?"


    Since Jun Qiyan had taken the form of a dragon and obtained the power of the Dragon God, he had been extremely busy. He didn''t even have the time to converse with her, let alone protect her.


    This made the always powerful Di Mo Jiu a bit angry. In this Lower Realm, his strength could only be suppressed to the peak of this world. If he exceeded that, it would definitely attract the attention of the Time and Space Laws.


    Right now, Jun Qiyan''s cultivation was also at the highest level in this world, and he no longer needed to protect her.


    "How could that be, Ninth Master?" Jun Qiyan looked at the frustrated face of Di Mo Jiu, and said to her with a burning gaze, "Ninth Master is the strongest person in my heart. I haven''t been injured by him, have I?"


    Di Mo Jiu was indeed a bit silent these few days, his tone was very low and his complexion wasn''t too good, so it was because he couldn''t protect her?


    "Ninth Master, Qi Yun has a stronger ability to protect himself. Shouldn''t you be happy?" Jun Qiyan''s beautiful eyes darted about.


    Di Mo Jiu looked into the depths of Jun Qiyan''s eyes, and then his lips moved, "Yes, Qiyan has gotten stronger."


    "Ninth Master, I am not a flower in a greenhouse, this world is too cruel. If you were just a little bit weaker, you would have been torn into pieces; I still want to go to the upper realm, see my parents, and see what kind of people they are. I also want to become stronger, strong enough to walk beside Ninth Master, and not hide behind you." The clear and melodious voice of Jun Qianyan was like the tinkling of spring water, slowly crashing into the heart of Di Mo Jiu.


    "You ¡­ Want to walk beside me? " Di Mo Jiu was stunned as he did not expect Jun Qiyan to say this.


    "Of course, I know that Lord Nine is not from the Lower Realms, and that his influence is unfathomable. Therefore, if I want to stand together with him, I must have enough power. I can''t let anyone underestimate him." Jun Qiyan raised her head.


    In her previous life, she was a person who pursued the strong. In this world where the strong were revered, she would naturally want to be a noble person as well. She was definitely not a obedient little white rabbit who hid behind Di Mo Jiu.


    "Alright." Di Mo Jiu was a little agitated because he did not clearly see Jun Feiyan''s heart. If Qiyan had really become strong, she should be stronger than he was proud of, because she was his woman.


    "Eh? Where are they? " Jun Qiyan chatted with Di Mo Jiu for a long time, only then did he realize that the person who fell down with him had not reached the bottom yet.


    Di Mo Jiu''s eyes flashed as he embarrassedly pulled Jun Feiyan back a few steps, then his finger moved slightly.


    "Ah ~" First it was the Taotie, then it was Tao Wu. Then the Octadic Snake, Ye Changsheng, Jing Jubai, and Feng Chenlang all fell down.


    They crashed into each other, and the scene was a bit unsightly ¡­


    "Ah, Tao Wu, you bastard. Quickly get the hell out of here ¡­" Tao Tie shouted from below. He had rough skin and thick flesh, yes, but Tao Wu and the Octadic Snake weren''t weak either.


    Moreover, he was still in human form, and was being suppressed by so many people ¡­


    "Octadic Great Snake, go down for this sovereign." Not willing to be outdone, Tao Wu roared angrily at the Octadic Snake.


    "Hey, you three ¡­" Just as the Octadic Snake was about to warn the three of them, the three of them had already come down. It was good that there were so many things to carry, it was not painful at all.


    Jun Qiyan looked at the few people who had just been smashed into a ball, then turned to Di Mo Jiu. He must have done something earlier, it must have been something.


    After that, they no longer cared about the three loud ones. They looked at the empty hole, and each of them opened up three or four paths.


    It was pitch black here, and it was emitting a humid atmosphere. There was only a single, weak Night Pearl embedded in the stone wall.


    However, after looking around for a while, he still didn''t find anything, so Jun Qiyan pulled Di Mo Jiu along as they walked towards one of the paths. Since it was a maze, there was always an exit, and this exit was their destination.


    A group of people proceeded along the dark corridor, and the sound of rain could be heard.


    "Ahhh ~ Help ~" A sharp cry for help suddenly came from the front. Jun Qiyan''s complexion changed as he and Di Mo Jiu looked at each other before quickly rushing forward.


    A white light appeared in the dark tunnel ahead ¡­


    By the time Jun Qianyan and the others rushed inside, many people had already arrived. Most of them were the rogue cultivators and the people from the Di Clan.


    The smell of blood was thick.


    In the middle, there was a gigantic beast with a sharp nose. It was surrounded by a scarlet black color and had two gigantic horns. It had no legs, but was a typical crawling type magical beast.


    Jun Qiyan had never seen such a magical beast before. Its entire body was burning with raging flames, causing the pitch black cave to be illuminated.


    "Burrowing beast?" Di Mo Jiu frowned. This was a magical beast from the upper realm, why would it appear here?


    When Jun Qiyan saw this magical beast, he also understood how this enormous tunnel was constructed. It was obvious that this was the work of the beast in front of him.


    Seeing that more and more people had gathered in front of them, the burrowing beast seemed even more dissatisfied. It shook its bull''s horn as it rushed towards Jun Qiyan and the others, the tip of its nose like a burrowing machine.


    Jun Qiyan hurriedly dodged, and released the pressure of the dragon race.


    The status of a dragon was incomparable to that of a beast. It should be able to suppress beasts that were lower than its level.


    Then, the burrowing beast didn''t move at all. Its scarlet eyes glowed with a red glow as it charged towards Jun Qiyan in an even more agitated manner.


    How could this be possible ¡­


    Tao Wu and Tao Tie also felt that it was strange. Even if it was a magical beast from the upper echelons, they wouldn''t be able to do nothing against the suppression of the dragon race.


    Could it be?


    "Qiyan, this demon beast''s sea of consciousness has already been destroyed. It doesn''t have intelligence, and it doesn''t know fear. It only knows how to obey orders, it''s a puppet." Di Mo Jiu said to Jun Qiyan after observing him for a long time.


    Puppet? Jun Qiyan was surprised. Without the Sea of Consciousness, this magical beast was actually just a dead beast with a dead body. It was just an obedient zombie.


    Is this what the Sword Spirit Sect did?


    This was too much ¡­ Jun Qiyan was furious as he dodged the attacks of the burrowing beasts.

 C319

    The burrowing beasts continued to attack Jun Qianyan. Their powerful auras spread throughout the cave, causing the hearts and blood of the weaker cultivators to churn.


    "Qiyan, it''s already dead, there''s no need to pity it." Di Moyu seemed to have seen through Jun Qianyan''s thoughts and knew that he would not be able to bear to see this magical beast that was being used as an experiment.


    When Jun Qiyan heard this, she pursed her lips and looked at the hole in the ground.


    After summoning the Soul Devouring Flame, a blue flaming sword appeared in their hands, emitting a strong sense of danger. Everyone quickly took half a step back.


    Jun Qiyan no longer retreated as he raised his rocket and rushed forward. The burrowing beast rushed forward fearlessly; its fierce flames were like a shower of starlight, scattering in all directions.


    The Soul Devouring Flame''s transformed sword collided with the burrowing earth beast''s nose, producing a crackling explosion.


    Its nose was the hardest part of an earth-piercing beast''s body, but it was also its weapon of attack. It could drill thousands of miles in a day.


    However, when faced with the Soul Devouring Flame, the Earth Drill was still slightly inferior. After pushing Jun Qiyan back, the Soul Devouring Flame wrapped itself around her body, and she let out a shrill beast roar.


    The sound penetrated their eardrums to form wave after wave of sound wave attacks, scaring everyone to the point that their five senses were blocked.


    Jun Qiyan watched as the agonized and struggling Earth Drill Beast withdrew its Soul Devouring Flame. He picked up a sharp dagger and rushed forward. A golden light lingered around the dagger; it seemed as if it could slice through iron like mud.


    She jumped onto the monster''s body, flipped her dagger, and stabbed into the monster''s body. Quickly, she slashed across and a bone-deep wound astonishingly appeared.


    Jun Qiyan''s eyes lit up. Once again, he used his spiritual power to control the dagger to stab into the heart of the monster. The dagger flew quickly through the heart of the monster, and then fell back into Jun Qiyan''s hand.


    The drill-type beast collapsed with a loud bang, sending up a large amount of dirt.


    "It''s okay, you saved it." Di Mo Jiu walked over to Jun Qiyan''s side and comforted her.


    Jun Qiyan smiled. She naturally knew that this sort of magical beast wasn''t worthy of her sympathy. But she was the same type of beast as them right now. She would always feel some sympathy for them in her heart.


    "Thank you, City Lord, for saving me." The people who were saved hurriedly walked over to thank Jun Qiyan.


    It was a middle-aged uncle with a beard. Jun Qiyan waved him away.


    This hole was extremely similar to the one they had just encountered. There were also three or four exits. Jun Qiyan no longer paid any attention to the chattering crowd as he walked into one of the caves. It was a slightly slanted downward path.


    As the blood began to seep into the soil, the air was filled with the pungent smell of blood. Jun Qiyan looked back and swore in her heart that she would avenge it.


    The rest of the cultivators followed Jun Qiyan one by one; everyone had taken the same path.


    Obviously, this maze was a complete maze. The deeper one went, the deeper they went, the thinner the air became. Fortunately, everyone here were cultivators, so they were able to endure a short period of hypoxia.


    Everyone walked in the narrow cave, the ground under their feet became more and more wet. The air was filled with a strange smell, like a mixture of blood and something else. Di Mo Jiu picked up a little bit of soil from the side of the stone wall and sniffed.


    Xiao Yan''s gaze sank slightly. "It is a mixture of different kinds of blood. There is likely a blood pool below ¡­"


    Di Mo Jiu''s words were like a bomb that exploded in the hearts of the crowd. Pond of hearts? Blood?


    Jun Qiyan''s face turned even more unsightly. He quickened his pace, and began twisting and turning in the underground cave.


    "Roar ~ Roar ~ ~" Dragon roars could be heard from the front. Clearly, the people of the Dragon clan had already arrived ¡­


    Following the sound, Jun Qiyan arrived at a place that resembled an underground palace. This place was extremely well built, and the corners and roads were made of glowing stalactites. Therefore, even though this place was dark, it was still as bright as day.


    Within the underground palace, there was a large palace built from crystals. However, the palace wasn''t completed yet, and the remaining crystals were scattered on the ground.


    The most eye-catching thing was that there was a pot that was as big as a pond in the middle of the pond. The reason it was called a pot was because a raging fire was burning under the pond, and the filth in the pond was bubbling.


    Before Jun Qi had gotten infected, several of the dragons had already transformed into their true forms, circling and roaring above the hole in the ground. This was a sign of sadness, and the pain in Jun Qiyan''s heart was excruciating, as if something had pinched it.


    Di Mo Jiu supported the tottering Jun Qiyan, and slowly helped her over.


    What kind of scene was that? Jun Qiyan didn''t know how to describe that feeling of disgust ¡­


    There were three huge pits in the corner of the blood pool. In the first hole, countless children were dismembered and thrown inside, their bodies frozen on the surface of the blood. Their eyes were tightly shut, their expressions of fear and panic forever frozen on their faces.


    "Ugh." Countless people sucked in a cold breath of air, and soon after, they began to vomit.


    Jun Qiyan suppressed her disgust as she looked at the second hole. The inside of the hole was the blood of a magical beast, and the magical beast''s body was already huge enough to make it difficult for them to bleed, so they cut off the skin, removed the bones, and left the blood at the edge of the hole. At the edge of the hole were countless corpses of magical beasts.


    Upon seeing this, Tao Wu and the Taotie and the other contract beasts couldn''t help but start to wail. Tao Wu even transformed into his original form, his eyes blood-red.


    The wails rose and fell one after another from the underground palace. The demonic beasts that were signed by the cultivators all ran out and looked at this scene in grief.


    The third hole, Jun Qiyan didn''t dare to look at it. She knew that it was a dragon hole.


    The dragon scales of the dragon race were scraped off and turned into armor. The dragon skin was used as clothes, the dragon bones were refined into weapons, and all the dragon blood was drained into this hole.


    There were also unskinned dragons lying in another huge cage, which was the same as the one in the depths of hell.


    There were several female dragons locked in the cage, their stomachs bulging. It was obvious that they were already pregnant, and they were currently lying down weakly without being able to even make a sound.


    Other than that, there were also many corpses floating on the dragon''s blood. The lower half of the baby''s body had a dragon tail, while the rest of the baby''s body was surrounded by shattered dragon eggs. These were all experimental subjects that had been forcefully blocked from growing.


    In each hole, there was a tube several meters long that absorbed the blood into the blood pool...


    Jun Qiyan could no longer hold back his tears.


    Was this how the Sword Spirit Sect did their experiments? Such an inhumane and insane experiment.


    "Ah ~ ~" Jun Qiyan roared in anger. She struck the bone cage heavily with her spiritual energy. "Bang ~ ~" A burst of air currents rebounded back, forcing Jun Qianyan to take two steps back. The bone cage remained unharmed.


    "Is there nothing you can do?" Xiao Jin Long looked mournfully at Jun Qiyan. He thought that Jun Qianyan would be able to open it; as expected, the dragon bone was too tough.

 C320

    After Jun Qiyan heard Xiao Jin Long''s words, he silently walked up to him and took out a long sword. He wrapped the Soul Devouring Flame around the sword, and with the support of his spiritual energy, he swung his right hand down in the Burning Heaven style.


    Di Mo Jiu''s face was gloomy as he stepped forward and took hold of Jun Qiyan''s hand that was holding the sword. A black mist wrapped around the sword, and a surge of spirit energy was being poured into it. The blade of the sword rapidly trembled.


    Di Mo Jiu raised Jun Qiyan''s hand again and once again rushed towards the sky like a lightning bolt, slashing towards the sky with his sword.


    "Clang!" The longsword shattered, the draconic bone shattered, and the cage opened.


    Only now did the unconscious female Dragons inside get a pleasant surprise. They raised their misty eyes to look at the crowd, and when they saw what the dragon race was, their hearts trembled. Did someone come just for them?


    "Can you still move? "Eat it." Jun Qiyan greeted and tossed a few bottles of pills inside.


    Xiao Jin Long excitedly said, "We came to save you. The dragon race already knows what happened to you." These were his race. Just thinking of how his parents had also been subjected to such experiments made him want to cut everyone into a thousand pieces and skin them alive.


    When the female dragons saw the little gold dragon''s pupils dilate, they opened their mouths hesitantly. "Dragon King ¡­" His voice was trembling with fear.


    "Hmph, it was that damned Dragon King who sent you guys here to kill so many dragons." The little gold dragon fiercely said, "Don''t worry. The Dragon King is already dead. He will never harm you again."


    The female dragons were shocked at first when they heard that the Dragon King was dead, but then they felt endless grief. Their families were all dead, and even they were struggling to survive ¡­


    "Don''t cry. Rather than grief, it''s better to stand up and personally behead your enemy." Jun Qiyan sternly shouted at the crowd, giving them a hard time.


    That''s right, they hadn''t seen a single person after coming for so long, let alone someone from the Sword Spirit Sect.


    The mother dragons also came to their senses and grabbed the pill given by Jun Qiyan and swallowed it. A wave of heat exploded inside their bodies, and countless amounts of spirit energy gushed out. Their lacerated wounds began to heal at a visible rate, while their bodies were no longer weak.


    "Do you know where the people from the Sword Spirit Sect went?" Jun Qiyan came to the side of the female dragons. Now that they had regained their human form, they each had their own beauty. It was difficult to ignore their slightly bulging stomachs.


    "Sword Spirit Sect?" The mother dragon seemed to be unable to hear him. Jun Qiyan changed the topic. "Where did your captors go?"


    "No ¡­" "I don''t know. We''ve been in a coma for a long time." The female dragons opened their mouths in shock, their eyes were still filled with shock.


    Jun Qiyan was silent. He had been unconscious for a long time. This was a place that had just appeared not long ago, so where could they have run off to?


    Although the underground palace was large, one could still see the bottom of it. The only palace that could hide people was still not repaired. It was obvious that they just escaped not too long ago.


    "Heh, flee! Continue escaping!" With a cold shout, Jun Qianyan hacked down horizontally with his sword, bringing with it the power of a landslide and the collapse of the earth. The crystal palace was split in half and collapsed with a loud bang.


    "Since we can''t find him, we shall destroy this place first." At Jun Qiyan''s command, everyone pulled out their weapons. This was the source of all evil, and they had to destroy it completely.


    The dragon race angrily roared as they joined the battle. The stone wall collapsed, burying itself into the bloody pit. The pool of blood collapsed, and scalding hot blood dripped down. With sizzling sounds, there was actually corroding power.


    Looking at the crumbling underground palace, Jun Qiyan hurriedly returned to the underground cave she just came from. "This place is about to collapse. Please leave first."


    When the remaining people heard Jun Qiyan''s words, they stopped their rampage and retreated back into the burrow. Jun Qiyan and the Emperor Mo Xie were in the back.


    Once again, Jun Qianyan hacked horizontally across the ground. With a destructive force, he brought up a wave of sword Qi, splitting the entire underground palace into two pieces.


    "Waa ~ waa ~ ~" Suddenly, just as Jun Qiyan was preparing to turn around and leave, she heard the cry of a baby.


    Jun Qiyan''s expression changed as he exchanged a glance with Di Mo Jiu, and the two of them rushed towards the source of the sound. It was a small hole in the ground, and Jun Qianyan had dug up some dirt from it. There was a small coffin underneath it.


    This was the experimental subject that was forcefully broken out of the egg after combining human and dragon.


    The sound of the baby''s wailing was loud and clear in the deafening roar.


    Jun Qiyan felt a sour smell on his nose. He picked up the baby and rushed into the hole with Di Mo Jiu at the very last moment when the hole was about to collapse.


    With the collapse of the underground palace, the cave began to crumble. Rocks and soil continued to fall, and Jun Qiyan continued to sprint while protecting her child. Di Mo Jiu followed closely behind as the two of them ran into the hole at their highest speed.


    "Bang!" The hole in the ground behind him was being buried inch by inch. The road in front of him was about to be blocked.


    Di Mo Jiu''s eyes narrowed as he grabbed the sword in Jun Qiyan''s hand and swung it towards the wound. A ray of sunlight shot in and Di Mo Jiu carried Jun Qiyan up, away from the cave.


    The two of them had just regained their footing when the ground before them, which was a hundred miles wide, suddenly caved in, forming a deep crater.


    At the same time, countless cultivators crawled out of the huge crater and choked on a large chunk of dirt.


    Everyone looked at each other, watching everything turn to dust. They had buried an inhumane experiment here.


    Without batting an eyelid, Jun Qiyan stuffed the infant that she had just saved into the space within the Nuwa Stone. She felt that it was better not to let these people see her.


    "City Lord Jun, the evildoers from the Sword Spirit Sect aren''t here. What should we do next?" one of Di Yeming''s men asked loudly. Now, they were all following the lead of Jun Qiyan.


    "Let''s return to White City. Everyone has worked hard today. The great crimes committed by the Sword Spirit Sect will appear sooner or later." Jun Qiyan was deep in thought. She had just left the Sword Spirit Sect, so she definitely wouldn''t go too far. The entire mainland was filled with her spies. She didn''t believe that the Sword Spirit Sect would be able to hide for the rest of her life.


    "Alright!" The crowd also agreed. After all, they didn''t know which direction to go in order to chase.


    White City


    As soon as Jun Qianyan returned, she hid in a room in the City Lord''s Mansion, followed by six little guys.


    Jun Qiyan took out a piece of cloth and took the baby out of the space.


    Her large eyes stared at the infant in amazement. Jun Qiyan had just thrown a baby in and had given him a fright.


    "Qiyan, what kind of baby is this? It''s so strange." With her bright eyes wide open, the crowd gathered around her.

 C321

    "Wow, wow, Qiyan, isn''t that the experimental subject that combined human and dragon together in the underground palace?" Tao Wu was so frightened that he took another step back. He looked at Jun Feiyan in disbelief. Where did she come from? The only one still alive in the underground palace should be the female dragon, right?


    "I found it when I left. Someone buried it in a coffin. It must be to save his life." Jun Qiyan explained as he placed the baby in a wooden basin for washing. He didn''t know if he would wash it or not, but after washing it, he discovered that it was filled with tiny pinholes and wounds.


    Jun Qiyan''s heart was in pain, and he wiped it gently.


    "I remember that a human and dragon combination can give birth to a complete child. A child like him that hasn''t fully developed should be considered a monster." The Taotie finally opened its mouth after observing for a long time.


    Jun Qiyan shot him a cold glare. "Any living being with a human body and tail can be called a mermaid. Naturally, a human body and tail is called a mermaid and a dragon. A monster is more akin to a monster than anything else.


    The Taotie felt a bit uncomfortable, "Hey, little girl, how can you say that to this senior? This senior''s appearance is so elegant and unrestrained, how can it be something that doesn''t belong to the David''s Deer?"


    Jun Qiyan didn''t pay any attention to him as she wrapped the baby up in a serious manner. She put it in her arms and stretched out her hands to tease the baby. The ignorant child in Jun Qiyan''s arms laughed happily as if he knew his place and wasn''t afraid of living.


    Everyone gathered around and saw a pair of bright and lively eyes of a baby holding her small hands in joy. It was immediately warmed up.


    "Sigh, let me hug you. I''ve never hugged a child this young before." Jun Qiyan smiled and handed the child over to him.


    Jing and Ji Bai carefully took the child. When they felt the child''s soft body, they immediately slowed down. "So cute."


    "Ah, Qinghua wants to hug ~ Qingqi wants to hug too." By the side, Qinghua could no longer suppress her heart and extended her hand towards Ji Bai.


    "Let me hold him for a while." Jing Ji Bai reached out his hand to tease the child, unwilling to let go.


    At the side, when Xu Que saw how excited Qingqi was, he calmly walked behind Ji Bai and pinched him. "Qingyan, will you, as a man, carry a child?"


    "Ah!" Jing and Ji Bai cried out in pain. When they looked back, they saw that the Baji Snake had stopped talking and handed the child to Qinghua.


    Qingwu took the baby happily as she rocked it from left to right, coaxing it.


    The Taotie stood at the side and watched with envy as everyone took turns to hug the child. However, he had offended Jun Qianyan just now, so he felt a little embarrassed to open his mouth. He could only watch with a dry expression.


    "Wa ~ ~" The child suddenly cried out, causing everyone to not know what to do.


    Jun Qiyan blanked for a moment, then thought of something and patted her head, "He should be hungry, you guys go ¡­" Get some goat''s milk. "


    "I''ll go." The Taotie and the rest rushed out before they could react. Jun Qiyan looked at the running shadow of the Taotie as she smiled meaningfully.


    He really did not expect that the raging ancient beasts loved children.


    "What are you going to do with this child?" Di Motian''s voice suddenly sounded, his eyes were calm.


    Jun Qiyan frowned. She hadn''t thought about this question before.


    "Give it to the dragon clan. They can also be considered their clansmen. After all, they can''t give it to the human race. The human race is too sinister. With his status, he will only be excluded." Jun Qiyan thought for a while before replying.


    Di Mo Jiu''s eyes lit up. Dragon clan? He didn''t seem to dislike it.


    On the other side, the Taotie quickly found the goat''s milk. This time, it was finally his turn to hug the child.


    The big hand lightly patted the child, and slowly fed the goat''s milk into the little guy''s mouth. The child immediately stopped crying, and drank the goat''s milk in large gulps, his big eyes turning and occasionally flowing with a golden brilliance.


    The Taotie''s face seemed to be covered in blood.


    With a "pata" sound, the little fellow seemed to have drunk its fill and knocked over the milk in the Taotie''s hand. It splattered all over the Taotie and was in an extremely sorry state.


    "Hahaha, Tao Tie, you ¡­" The nearby Tao Wu unceremoniously laughed at the fact that one of the four great beasts had been taken care of by a little kid.


    Tao Tie''s face darkened. When it saw the ignorant child, it began to smile and tease the child again. It completely forgot about the previous scene and everyone was astonished.


    "Enough, enough. Stop messing around. I''m going to bring him back home." With that, Jun Qiyan took the child and went to find the dragon clan.


    The people of the Dragon Clan were arranged in the side hall. At this moment, in the side room, Xiao Jin and the others were guarding the savior, the mother dragon, to heal her injuries.


    As soon as Jun Qiyan stepped into the room, he received a unanimous look from the crowd...


    "Little Gold Dragon, this is the child I saved from the underground palace today, so consider it your clan. Take it back with you to raise."


    Xiao Jin Long withdrew his gaze and looked at the child in Jun Qiyan''s hand. His eyes that were filled with spirit energy were currently sucking on his finger.


    Looking down, it was a swaying dragon tail. Little Gold frowned imperceptibly.


    "Ah, no, this monster isn''t from our dragon race." The female dragon next to her seemed to have been provoked by something the moment she saw her child, and she shouted loudly.


    Monster? Jun Qiyan frowned.


    "This is a monster that combines human and dragon. He is a monster that was cut out from the female dragon''s stomach. He killed a dragon the moment he was born and is a product of the evil humans. Quickly take it away ¡­" The female dragons screamed in alarm, avoiding the half-grown children.


    Jun Qiyan''s gaze turned cold. "Heh, do you think that only your dragon race is a victim? There are even more humans in the underground palace than you guys. "


    "He is only a child of half a year. The villain''s scheme forced him to be born into this world, and it was destined his entire life''s tragedy. He is the greatest victim, yet you are here shouting monsters. Then, may I ask ¡­" Jun Qiyan''s gaze moved to the female dragon''s bulging belly.


    "Is that thing in your stomach also a monster?"


    "No ¡­" "No, I will give birth to him and wait for him to hatch. He is still a dragon." The female dragon shook her head with all her might and hugged her stomach. It was indeed a dragon, but it still had the blood of a normal human.


    "Isn''t one dragon egg missing a dragon? What a joke, what is wrong with children, you self-proclaimed united races can''t even tolerate their own children? "


    "They''re not the same. I''ve never seen anything like it!" The other female dragon trembled as she looked at the child in Jun Qiyan''s hand.


    After all, he wasn''t his own child, so he became a monster?


    Jun Qiyan no longer paid any attention to these madmen. He looked towards Xiao Jin Long and asked, "What about you? Do you also think that this is a monster?"

 C322

    "I ¡­" Xiao Jin''s eyes darkened slightly. "I can bring him back to raise him. It''s just that in the future, he might still receive strange gazes from others."


    He knew the child was innocent. He could protect his life, but he couldn''t stop others from talking.


    "There''s no need. You all do not need to raise them. It''s not as if I, Jun Qiyan, cannot afford to." Jun Qiyan''s cold and detached expression was suffused with a ghastly chill as he swung his bare hand, bringing along a thick pressure to press down on the dragons.


    "Pu ~" Those female dragons that were trembling spat out blood. The rest of them also felt extremely uncomfortable as their blood energy surged.


    "You ¡­" The female Dragons were extremely frightened. Just as they were about to flare up and be stopped by Xiao Jin Long''s look, Jun Qiyan left with a flourish of her sleeves.


    "Dragon King, why are you ¡­" The female dragons didn''t understand why the little gold dragon would stop them.


    At this moment, Xiao Jin Long also began to feel that these female dragons were far too selfish and cold. Jun Qiyan was the one who had saved them, and it was one thing for them to not be grateful.


    "Human-dragon mixture is a monster?" Xiao Jin Long raised his eyebrows and said with ice-cold eyes, "Just now, that lord was the daughter of the Dragon God. That mother is also not a dragon. Is she also a monster in your eyes?"


    "Her bloodline is more noble than all of us present here, and she is also the greatest savior of the Dragon clan. Is this how you treat your benefactor?" Little Gold felt ashamed for being like this.


    "Dragon God ¡­" The female dragons murmured, was it the legendary Dragon God? Then just now, they ¡­ The female dragons were all stunned. It was normal for someone to accidentally take their head.


    "Men, send them back to the dragon clan. I don''t want to see these ungrateful things again." The little gold dragon''s sharp eyes narrowed as it instructed the subordinate beside him.


    The mother dragons became dispirited and did not dare to continue staying here as they swiftly followed the little gold dragon''s men back.


    On the other side, Jun Qiyan angrily went back to her room. She hadn''t thought that the dragon race would be like this.


    Yes, indeed, unity, to the point where an impure dragon must be rejected.


    It was truly difficult to tell which race the dragon belonged to when someone descended from above. Moreover, the dragon race hated the humans to the point that their teeth itched. If they didn''t accept him, then it wouldn''t be surprising.


    Perhaps when one looked at this child, they would be reminded of their own dark history. Having a pure form was fine, but this kind of body was nothing at all.


    For the dragon race, being captured by humans for experiments was already a dark history. Powerful as a dragon race, they had never experienced such destruction before.


    She couldn''t blame anything on the little gold dragon. In such an environment, no matter how much the little gold dragon tried to protect them, it wouldn''t be enough to block their way.


    Jun Qiyan''s heart ached as she looked at the child in her arms, who was obediently holding onto her child without crying or making a fuss.


    When the child in his arms saw the sorrowful expression on Jun Qiyan''s face, it seemed as if he could sense it. He stretched out his hand to touch Jun Qiyan''s face, and happily laughed.


    Jun Qiyan gawked for a moment before she also reached out to pinch the little guy''s face. "You''re still laughing huh? No one wants you anymore, you''re about to end up on the streets."


    When the little guy heard this, his hands and feet danced as he laughed even more merrily.


    "Aiya, have you calculated that I won''t let you live on the streets? Are you trying to provoke me by being so happy?" There was a smile in Jun Qiyan''s eyes as she spoke to the child in her arms.


    "Cluck, cluck, cluck ¡­" The child laughed until he rolled back.


    "Come on, you''re the smartest one. Let me see if it''s a man or a woman. I''ll give you a name." With that, Jun Qiyan lifted the child''s clothes to examine him.


    "En, you are indeed a beautiful human and a dragon. You are the child of both humans and dragons and are a great treasure. This is the only family in the whole world, so you can call me Nannan."


    "Nannan, Nannan." Jun Qiyan hugged Nannan as he smiled happily. In the future, Nannan would be her child.


    "Bang ~ ~" The door was ruthlessly flung open, causing Jun Qiyan to jump up in fright. She coldly looked at the group of people from Beijing, Ji Bai and the others, who were rushing over.


    "Can''t you knock on the door? "It scared Nannan." Jun Qiyan carefully patted the stunned Nannan in his arms.


    "Nannan?" "Why haven''t you sent her away yet ¡­" Feng Chen Lang walked in. "Pfft, that''s not the main point. I''m here for an urgent matter."


    Feng Chenlang looked nervously at Jun Qiyan.


    "What''s the matter?" Jun Qiyan was a bit absent-minded. Feng Chenlang was someone who could be called an important person in any matter.


    "The people from the Sword Spirit Sect sent you a written challenge. Just now, we were at the city gates ¡­" Jun Qiyan didn''t catch a single word of Feng Chenlang''s intermittent narration, but that battle letter from the Sword Spirit Sect echoed in her mind.


    "Lead the way." Jun Qiyan stood up and gave Nannan the Nuwa Stone back to Qingyan.


    Feng Chenlang hastily nodded his head and brought Jun Qiyan to the city gate. At this time, it was already completely surrounded by people.


    As Jun Qiyan approached, she was surprised to find that the white jade stone gate had been dyed red with blood. There were dozens of men hanging over the gate, all of whom had cut off their arteries. They were the guards who had been guarding the gate.


    A steady stream of blood flowed to the ground, forming a few arrogant words:


    Three days later, he would fight at the peak of the Profound Cloud Mountain.


    Arrogant! Arrogant!


    Jun Qiyan''s eyes flashed with a mysterious golden light. How did this damnable Sword Spirit Sect get here? They even dared to kill her people in front of everyone''s eyes.


    Killing people as if they were paralyzed, committing crimes in the face of the world, committing such an inhumane thing, not escaping with your tail between your legs, and daring to openly provoke her.


    "Haha ¡­" Jun Qiyan sneered. Where did the Sword Spirit Sect get the courage to act so presumptuously? Since they had the ability to do so a few days ago, why did they run away? Could they be preparing something?


    Jun Qiyan suddenly realized something... Escaping was just two different situations. If he couldn''t defeat her in a short time, then he had another plan to stall for time.


    It looked like he was stalling for time.


    "Clean this place up, bury the dead, and pay their respects to their families." Jun Qianyan quickly instructed as he looked at the dozen or so people who had died with grievance on the city gates.


    "In addition, spread the news. Since his Sword Spirit Sect wants to become enemies with the entire continent, we''ll give it a try." Her eyes were deep and dark, filled with a sense of abuse.


    "Yes."


    This time, it would be hard for her to fly even if she needed the Sword Spirit Sect''s wings. It was time for her to pay her debt of blood to the entire continent.


    The news of the Sword Spirit Sect''s challenge to White City was immediately spread all over the city. When Di Yaming heard the report from his men, he already knew that the underground palace was in a miserable state. When he saw the challenge this time, he immediately sent more people to the peak of the Mysterious Cloud sect.


    People from other countries did not believe the actions of the Sword Spirit Sect, but after the matter of the underground palace broke out, they could no longer hold it in. They sent their experts over indignantly, and even more rogue cultivators rushed to the Mystic Cloud Sect after hearing the news.


    Even the beast king of the Howling Caves would be infuriated by such a scene. Carrying the magical beast from the Howling Caves, he stepped out of the Howling Caves for the first time.


    At this point, the alliance of the mainland officially accepted the challenge!

 C323

    On the easternmost part of the Profound East Continent, there was a mountain range that stretched for tens of thousands of miles, and spanned for tens of millions of years.


    As the saying goes, to rely on the mountains to eat the water to eat the mountains, the people of the Eastern Xuan Continent had all been using this mountain as their foundation from the very beginning.


    The peak of the Mystical Cloud Mountain Range was located at the highest peak of the Mystical Cloud Mountain Range. It was a mountain that was tens of millions of meters above sea level, soaring straight into the clouds. The terrain was steep, and it was extremely difficult to even stand firmly here, let alone fight a great battle.


    Fortunately, although Mystical Cloud Mountain had been standing tall for many years, it didn''t have many magical beasts like the Howling Forest.


    Before Jun Qianyan departed, he left QingCai and Nannan in White City. She was worried that if she met with any mishaps, it would affect the Nuwa Stone, putting them in great danger.


    Everyone knew that Nannan was adopted by Jun Qianyan, and they expressed their contempt towards the Dragon clan and their happiness in seeing this matter. Especially when the Taotie hugged Nannan and began to caress Nannan.


    summit of the profound cloud


    By the time Jun Qianyan and the others arrived, the entire Mysterious Cloud Mountain was filled with cultivators from all over the place, but none of them had made it to the summit.


    Jun Qiyan led the group to the summit in a grandiose manner, but not a single person could be seen on top of the mountain. Looking down, it was as if they were standing on top of clouds.


    However ¡­


    Without waiting for her to think any further, the sky began to distort and the void became chaotic. In the middle of the sky appeared a tear, lightning and fire flew out, and the air struggled to escape.


    The people from the Sword Spirit Sect walked out of the crevice.


    Jun Qiyan warily took a step back. She had never seen anything like this before.


    Di Mo Jiu frowned. He looked at the three men in black leading the way, tearing space apart was not something they could do with their level of cultivation, even if they could, they wouldn''t be allowed to use it in the Lower Realm. Aren''t they afraid of the Time and Space Laws?


    While he was deep in thought, his gaze landed on the scroll the leader had secretly put away, and he immediately felt relieved.


    "Qiyan Yun, don''t worry. That''s just a spell scroll from the upper realm, a spell used to save the strong." Di Mo Jiu to Jun Qiyan whispered into her ear, indicating that such a shocking power did not belong to the man in front of her.


    People of the Upper Realm would be suppressed by the Time and Space Laws of the Lower Realm. The first was suppression by the power of power. Therefore, the strength of Di Mo Jiu right now was not even one tenth of what he was at his peak.


    The second was that the upper plane could not directly interfere with the life and death of the creatures of the lower plane, or else they would be punished by the law.


    This was why the three men in black had no choice but to act against the Sword Spirit Sect.


    "Scrolls?" The upper echelons of the world were indeed flourishing and flourishing, Jun Qianyin thought softly.


    "Ha, Jun Qiyan, you really dare to fight ~" A young woman walked out from the crowd. She was Jun Yanran, but her face had turned green, and she had become even more enchanting. There were even three beast markings on her cheeks ¡­


    Jun Qiyan was stunned. If she remembered correctly, Jun Yanran and her cheap mother''s Jindan had already been broken by her. However, Jun Yanran was obviously still in the same realm as her, but her hostility only grew stronger.


    An inconceivable thought popped up in Jun Qiyan''s mind.


    "Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! You couldn''t have used a pitiful demonic beast''s inner core to replace the golden core right? I remember that a demonic beast''s inner core cannot be given to a human unless ¡­"


    Jun Qiyan''s eyes swept over her as she thought, ''This Jun Yanran is really shameless and shameless!''


    There was no other way for a human to use a demonic beast''s inner core, which was to transform themselves into a demonic beast and then have the demonic beast voluntarily sacrifice the inner core. Of course, all of this depended on whether the inner core was compatible with humans.


    The process of the union was to offer sacrifices over and over again ¡­


    The only way to transform a demonic beast was to submit to it. After a long period of time, the demonic beast would have the same aura as a demonic beast, and only then would the demonic beast''s sacrifice be useful ¡­


    How many demonic beasts had Jun Yanran slept in order to obtain her inner core?


    "Jun Yanran, you''re really despicable." Jun Qiyan narrowed her cold eyes, her expression was filled with disgust as she looked at Jun Yanran.


    "Jun Qiyan, I don''t know where a bastard like you would come from. How dare you laugh at me?" Jun Yanran was provoked by Jun Qiyan''s expression. She had indeed submitted herself to the demon beasts, and had even asked them to voluntarily offer their cores in order to behave, but who was the one who had given them this? It was because of Jun Qiyan that she had become neither a human nor a ghost.


    "Yanran, calm down. She is purposely provoking you." Meng Huairen, who was standing behind her, placed his hand on Jun Yanran''s shoulder to soothe her.


    "Scram, what right do you have to care about me?"


    Meng Huairen looked at his hand that had been flung away as his eyes turned stinging. Following that, he slashed out with a vicious beam.


    "Enough, what''s the use of arguing over speed for a moment? Jun Qiyan, how dare you accept the challenge?" As the leader of the sect, the White Knot Tiger was no longer like a cowering turtle as it brazenly provoked Jun Qiyan.


    "To deal with scum of society like you, scum of the human race, why would I not dare? Not only will I accept the battle, I will also skin you alive to comfort the creature you have crippled." Jun Qiyan looked back coldly, and the expression on his face darkened with every word he spoke.


    "Children with yellow mouths, do they only know how to talk nonsense? "See who this is?" With that, the White Garment Tiger brought out the kidnapped Gu Yao.


    Jun Qianyan had a dignified expression on his face as he looked at Gu Yao, who was tied up with all kinds of things. His body was full of wounds, his hair was in disarray, and his face was ashen.


    It was obvious that they had been tortured. The crowd was so furious that their eyes were about to pop out of their sockets.


    "Gu Yao!" Only now did Gu Yao, who had his head lowered, finally regain his senses. He looked at Jun Qianyan with a bewildered expression, and a trace of joy and astonishment flashed through his eyes.


    "White Garment Tiger!" Seeing how Gu Yao was about to die, Jun Qianyan became even angrier and his figure flashed as he prepared to attack the White Knot Tiger.


    "Jun Qiyan, if you take another step forward, I will throw you out of here. With his current appearance, he will definitely die if he goes down here. Do you want to try?" Bai Qiu Hu''s face was slightly shocked as he hurriedly spoke.


    "You dare." Jun Qiyan was forced to halt in her tracks as she stared darkly at the white fur tiger with a venomous look in her eyes. Gu Yao was her friend and a comrade-in-arms. How could she watch him die?


    "Hahaha, you don''t dare to move now, do you, Jun Qiyan? If I understand how powerful you are, then you''ll have to listen to me obediently." The sound of the tiger''s laughter echoed through the clouds.


    "What do you want?" Jun Qiyan''s furious emotions sunk as he calmed down. Since they had captured Gu Yao, it must be to threaten her. As long as their objective hadn''t been achieved, Gu Yao would temporarily be safe.


    "En ~" The white fur coat thought for a moment and then laughed. "I want you to kill everyone behind you. That way, I''ll let Gu Yao go."


    His clear voice resounded in everyone''s ears, causing them to be shocked for a moment, and then they started to laugh out loud.

 C324

    "Heh, you''re dreaming." It was as if Jun Qianyan had heard a heaven''s joke and wanted her to kill all the people behind her. Not to mention that the people behind her were her closest friends, she couldn''t possibly make a move against them.


    "Is that so?" The White Knot Tiger''s face turned red from the other party''s mocking laughter, and the punch that gathered spiritual energy brought with it an explosive sound as it fiercely smashed towards Gu Yao''s chest.


    "Wah ~" Gu Yao spat out a mouthful of blood, his countenance looking even more unsightly.


    "Bai Qiuhu ~" Jun Qianyan''s voice trembled as he looked at Gu Yao''s weakened appearance with endless heartache.


    "Are you going to kill me or not!" The White Garment Tiger ignored Jun Qiyan''s anger and raised its fist.


    Jun Qianyan''s eyes turned cold as she suddenly took a step forward and said, "Look carefully and see that the one behind you is the strongest alliance of powers in the East Xuan Continent. They are not people that a mere middle level Jindan Stage woman like me can kill." Jun Qiyan then stepped forward.


    "But, I can trade with Gu Yao. As a hostage, I''m more suitable than Gu Yao, right?" Jun Qiyan''s voice was filled with allure as he attempted to negotiate with the white Qiu Hu.


    "Qiyan, you can''t go ¡­" Feng Chenglang was the first to speak as he anxiously looked at Jun Feiyan.


    "Mayor ¡­" The sound of voices rose and fell one after another, making Jun Feiyan think twice about not being able to be a hostage. Even Di Mo Jiu was frowning.


    Seeing the excited reactions on the other side, Bai Qiuhu began to ponder. With so many people working so hard for her, he was worried about her. If she was the hostage, then the deterrence would be even greater.


    "Sure, come over." In the end, Bai Qiuhu had agreed to Jun Qiyan''s request to be the hostage.


    "But you have to first release Gu Yao." Jun Qiyan slowly walked over, his expression was one of utter despair.


    "Come here first. Otherwise, how could I believe you?" Bai Qianzhang was not a person who firmly requested that Jun Qianyan go over first. As long as he did, he would be able to deal with her alone with his current strength.


    Jun Qiyan declined to comment. Inadvertently, he turned around and gave a look to the worried group behind him.


    The distance between the two groups of people was like a huge wall that stretched thousands of miles. Jun Qianyan slowly approached the tiger in silence.


    Bai Qianzhang and the rest of the men behind him were all staring at Jun Qianyan, waiting for her to approach so that they could hold her down.


    "Swish ~" A long whip was swung, coincidentally tied onto Jun Qiyan''s body, pulling her over before she could react.


    "Ha ha-ha ~, I''m not as trustworthy as a brat like you." The white Qiu Hu laughed maniacally after catching Jun Qianyan. The whip in his hand tightly tied up Jun Qiyan. She tried to struggle for a long time, but the rope only became tighter and tighter.


    "Haha, this is a good item from above, it''s not something you can break away from." The white Qiu Hu glared sinisterly at Jun Qianyan.


    Capture the thief first and capture the king. Jun Qiyan had already been captured, so what more could be seen from the other side. It was as if the tiger saw the dawn of victory.


    As expected, the moment the other party saw that Jun Qianyan had been caught, they immediately started to panic.


    "Despicable." Jun Qiyan cast a cold glance at the old face of the white Qiu Hu.


    "Well said, I am despicable. If I wasn''t despicable, I wouldn''t have been able to catch you." The more angry Jun Qiyan was, the more excited and excited he got.


    The eyes of the three men in black were calm. Looking at the laughing White Tiger, they frowned. It was not that easy, but they couldn''t find any flaws.


    After being caught, Jun Qianyan happened to be standing right next to Gu Yao. Listening to Bai Qianyun''s laughter, she lowered her head to conceal the aura in her eyes. Her red lips moved, but no sound came out.


    "Kill! We must take back the mayor!" It was unknown who let out the angry roar in the noisy crowd, but the other people raised their weapons and charged forward without a care. With a loud roar, they brought with them a world-shaking power.


    "What are you guys doing, not even caring about the hostages?" The insolent smile of the White Kylin Tiger froze on his face. Suddenly, he ruthlessly tugged at Jun Qianyan. "Quick, quick, make them stop."


    "Charge! Save the City Lord!" The other side was getting closer and closer to them.


    "They''re here to save me, how can I stop them? Not everyone is as soft-hearted as me." Jun Qianyan spoke in a low voice, inadvertently revealing a smile.


    It was only now that the White Garment Tiger realized that it had been fooled. It was instantly enraged as it glared fiercely at Jun Qianyan.


    "Slut!" The body of the tiger trembled as it let out an angry roar. Spirit energy gathered in its hand seemed to want to distort the air as it let out explosive crackling sounds. Subsequently, the tiger used all its strength to attack Jun Qianyan.


    "Don''t!" The black-clothed man''s angry shout sounded out, yet the White Garment Tiger had already launched its attack.


    "Hur hur." Jun Qiyan raised his head, his magnificent face brimming with a strong sense of ridicule. The tiger fist of the White Knot Tiger landed on Jun Qianyan''s head, and a towering mountain peak appeared behind him.


    At the critical moment, she grabbed the tied up Gu Yao, causing both of them to fall into the deep abyss as they were hit by the Tiger Fist.


    "Damn it, you piece of trash. You just let two hostages escape." The black clothed man became angry from embarrassment, slapping the white Qiu Hu with his palm. The white Qiu Hu fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood with a terrified expression.


    How could this be possible ¡­


    "Big, master, we are tens of thousands of meters in the air. If they are hit by me, they will be crippled even if they don''t die." The white Qiu Hu reacted and immediately kneeled in front of the black clothed man as he pleaded his guilt.


    "Scram, you useless thing." The man in black did not listen to his explanation and kicked him away.


    At the same time, the opponent''s attack came at him. The black clothed man angrily responded, and a series of intense explosions sounded out as the spirals of spiritual energy collided against the peak of the clouds.


    Countless techniques were being used in the clouds to display their dazzling brilliance. The cries of people fighting each other were resounding in the air. Those who didn''t know what was going on gnashed their teeth in anger when they saw Jun Qianyan being beaten down by Bai Qiuhu, and some even charged forward with the determination to die.


    After all, the people from the Sword Spirit Sect weren''t there yet. They were at a disadvantage due to the difference in numbers, so they could only retreat one step at a time.


    Di Mo Jiu and the other demonic beasts attacked the three men in black. These three men came from the upper echelons, the strongest among them could only be defeated in seconds. Only Di Mo Jiu, Tao Tie, Tao Wu and the Octadic Snake could fight back.


    "Who are you? Are they also from the upper echelon? " The black-clothed man had been beaten to the point where he couldn''t even split his body into two. His sinister gaze was directed straight at Di Mo Jiu. This man was so powerful, they couldn''t even get a single ounce of advantage from him.


    "You have no right to know." Di Mo Jiu''s voice was cold and without any emotion. He didn''t even give the three of them a superfluous look.


    "Your excellency, we are both from the upper echelons. If there is a sliver of hope today, we will meet again in the future." The eyes of the man in black revealed a murderous light. They all knew that those with power and influence in the upper echelons could not be offended. It was impossible for them to not recognize such a person.

 C325

    "You''ve offended my wife. There will be no need to see her again in the future." After speaking, Di Mo Jiu''s palms released a black stream of qi, repelling the three of them. The three of them all felt an intense pain in their hearts as traces of blood seeped out from the corners of their mouths.


    The man in black glanced at each other, seeing the fear in the eyes of Di Mo Jiu''s opponent. They couldn''t beat Di Mo Jiu in a fight.


    "Hmph. Since you are not willing to talk, then don''t blame us for being heartless." After speaking, a black-clad man retrieved a dark red scroll and stared at Di Mo Jiu with a sinister light in his eyes.


    "This is that Lord''s attack. Let me see how you are going to block it."


    Di Mo Jiu''s expression didn''t change. He stared at the scroll in the black clothed man''s hands and fell into deep thought. Just who was on it? Such a large sum? Even the upper echelons were rare.


    "Look at this!" The man in black opened the scroll and injected spiritual power into Di Mo Jiu, only to see a huge Soaring Snake flying out with a suffocating pressure. Its wings covered the sky with spiritual power and its huge tongue was sticking out its tongue, glowing with red light as it stared at Di Mo Jiu.


    This was the transformation of spirit into form. Using one''s own mental energy to transform spirit energy into the form of a magical beast, launching a large-scale attack. The strength of the magical beast depended on the strength of the user, and was equivalent to a clone, most suitable for use in a group battle.


    "Roar ~ ~ Roar ~ ~" Suddenly, a dragon''s roar sounded out. At the bottom of the cliff, Jun Qiyan''s golden dragon was rolling in the clouds as a multicolored golden light flowed out from her body. In her hands was a human figure; it was none other than Gu Yao.


    Soon after was the dragon race led by the little gold dragon. They had already been lurking at the foot of the mountain for a long time, waiting for Jun Qiyan''s order.


    "Dragon?" How can there be a dragon? " The three men in black retreated in fear. Why would the dragon race come here?


    The majestic army of dragons soared into the air amidst the clouds, bringing a huge pressure upon everyone. Jun Qiyan pulled Gu Yao to a safe position and flew towards the Soaring Snake formed by spiritual energy.


    "Ninth Master, I''m here." When Feng Chenlang and the rest saw this, they hurriedly grabbed the nearby dragon as well and flew up as well. This land was too steep and countless people had already fallen down, so it was much safer to bring flying dragons with them.


    "Ninth Master, let''s go together." Jun Qiyan''s voice rang out in Di Mo Jiu''s mind. Di Mo Jiu was sitting on the dragon''s back, and his fingers were touching the bright and vibrant dragon scales of Jun Mo Xie''s dragon god. Suddenly, his fingers began to heat up.


    "I better get down." Di Mo Jiu uncomfortably said. His voice sounded like a stream of bluestone as his eyes sparkled.


    "Why? The terrain here is extremely steep and is not suitable for battle." Jun Qianyan was puzzled. Why did Di Mo Jiu''s tone sound so weird? It didn''t resemble him at all.


    "I can fly." His black hair fluttered in the wind, and only a jade hairpin was tied on top of his hair, revealing his bright and clean forehead. Below that was a pair of dense, sword-like eyebrows, which looked like a hawk soaring in the sky, free and honorable.


    His long eyes moved along his brows, revealing a pair of clear eyes. The black robe wrapped around his body made him look elegant and graceful. The collar of his clothes revealed the purple and black color of his clothes. It was evil, mysterious and noble.


    Jun Qiyan turned her head to look, and a trace of hot air unconsciously rose from her face. When she recalled the scene of Di Mo Jiu sitting on top of her, her heart began to beat even faster.


    Her husband was so handsome!


    On the other side, the Soaring Serpent had been completely ignored. It couldn''t help but emit an even stronger might, interrupting Jun Qiyan''s mood to admire the beautiful man.


    Jun Qianyan''s brows furrowed as he turned the Soul Devouring Flame into a fierce sword and stabbed forward with a lightning speed.


    The long sword pierced through the huge body of Soaring Snake. The Soaring Snake flapped its wings and let out a loud roar. However, the roar soon disappeared. The Soaring Snake became more violent and flapped its wings towards everyone.


    The battle at the top of the mountain was extremely intense. If the Soaring Snake reached the top of the mountain, it would definitely smack everyone off the mountain with an earth-shattering force.


    Jun Qianyan''s complexion was haughty as he took the dragon race and rushed towards the enormous Soaring Snake. The Soaring Snake had been forced back by the spiritual energy forces and the noble pressure of the dragon race, and had flown to another part of the clouds, closely followed by Jun Qiyan.


    Suddenly, the clouds around her started to slowly swirl, and the strong power of the dark clouds started to form a huge tornado. The tornado carried an unstoppable amount of spiritual energy as it struck towards the Soaring Snake, creating a gap in the spiritual energy of the Soaring Snake.


    Jun Qiyan was so happy that everyone started to rush towards the gap in the spiritual energy. The Soaring Snake was in pain as it flapped its enormous wings at Jun Qianyan with a frightening pressure.


    Everyone was immediately suppressed by this pressure and could not move at all. They could only watch helplessly as the Soaring Snake''s gigantic wings swept through the air like a violent storm, bringing with them distortions and upheavals as it pummeled towards them.


    The clouds in the sky suddenly disappeared and countless spatial rifts appeared. It was as if the rifts were about to collapse, but they quickly recovered.


    "Pfft ~" The army of the dragon clan was completely broken up. Jun Qiyan flew along with the aura for several miles as she spat out a mouthful of dirty blood.


    "Qiyan, are you alright?" Di Mo Jiu immediately went over to Jun Qiyan''s side and looked at her with a pained expression.


    "I''m fine. I was struck by that pressure." Jun Qiyan gave Di Mo Jiu a comforting smile, then turned into his human form and looked at the Soaring Snake with a pair of shining eyes.


    At this moment, the spiritual energy in the Soaring Snake''s body was dissipating along the spiritual energy gap, but its strength could no longer be underestimated.


    "Little gold dragon, I remember that the dragon race can control water, right?" Jun Qiyan transformed into a human form and flew towards the small treasury.


    "What are you doing?" Xiao Jin Long''s expression was dark as he looked hesitantly at Jun Feiyan.


    "Cover these people up for me." Jun Qiyan smiled charmingly, and the blood on her mouth looked extremely seductive. Perhaps these beasts didn''t have any meaning, she wouldn''t be afraid even if they all died.


    "Yes, but it will take time." The dragon race extracted the seawater that surrounded the dragon race. Coincidentally, their dragon race''s chassis was located in the extreme east, and this was also the most eastern end of the Eastern Profound Continent. It was a perfect place to pour water over the Black Cloud Mountain Range.


    "Alright!" After Jun Qiyan finished speaking, he no longer cared about that crazy Soaring Snake. Instead, he flew back to the top of the mountain.


    "Warriors, I will have the water of the sea pour onto the black cloud right away. These shameless people are on the verge of collapsing, and your mission is complete. Please leave the peak of the black cloud immediately." Jun Qiyan''s voice was reinforced with spiritual energy and echoed in everyone''s minds. Everyone''s eyes were filled with confusion, and they began to slowly retreat.


    The people from the Sword Spirit Sect looked at the retreating crowd and thought that they had achieved a complete victory. They excitedly chased after them and reached the center of gravity of the peak of the Mystical Cloud Mountain.


    Jun Qiyan pursed her lips, and a cold light flashed in her eyes.

 C326

    On top of the Mysterious Cloud Peak, the members of the Sword Spirit Sect were in the middle of a fierce battle.


    "Swish ~" Jun Qiyan''s leg whistled through the air as it kicked towards the head of the Sword Spirit Sect, Bai Qiuhu, and forced him to take two steps back while clutching her chest.


    There weren''t many people left in the Sword Spirit Sect, and the majority of them were Jun Qiyan''s enemies.


    "Jun Qiyan, you''re actually a dragon?" Jun Yunge, who was standing at the side, was completely shocked when he saw Jun Qiyan in the sky, fighting in the shape of a dragon. How could she turn into a dragon when she had grown up with them?


    "Hahaha, why isn''t the dragon race being used by my Sword Spirit Sect for experiments?" The white Qiu Hu held onto his chest that was in pain from Jun Qianyan''s kick, and ridiculed with an ugly smile.


    "Jun Qiyan, didn''t you destroy the experimental base? See what happened to the dragons? "Hahaha." When Jun Yanran saw the opportunity to provoke Jun Qianyan, she naturally did not dare to show any sign of weakness, and even her bewitched face was contorted in a grimace.


    "Heh." Jun Qiyan sneered as she frantically circulated the spiritual power within her body. Her enchanting red clothes fluttered in the wind, causing the surrounding spiritual energy to surge into her body from all directions. The clouds dissipated, and the dragon pearl began to spin.


    "I can''t see what will happen to the dragon clan but I can see what will happen to you all." With that, she turned her hands, and two Soul Devouring Flames astonishingly appeared, crackling with a strange light.


    Bai Qiuhu and the rest immediately took a step back and cautiously stared at the Soul Devouring Flame in Jun Qianyan''s hand. This was a ''Heavenly Flame''. If they were touched by it, they would definitely turn to ashes.


    "Feng Chenlang, you two take Gu Yao and leave first. Leave this place to me." Jun Qiyan shouted as she charged into the crowd to fight with Bai Qiuhu and the others.


    The two swirls of air ferociously collided with each other. The Soul Devouring Flame was completely released, and everything that touched it immediately turned into dust, and any flesh that touched it could burn through to the bone. Unless one chopped off an arm, it would not stop.


    "Bang ~ ~" Jun Qiyan curled up the Soul Devouring Flame and took advantage of it to smash towards Jun Yanran, causing a violent explosion. The Soul Devouring Flame flew in all directions and everyone frantically dodged.


    Ah!" Jun Qiyan, you slut. " Jun Yanran didn''t expect that Jun Qianyan, who was surrounded by a group of people, would still find her and strike first. He was sent flying several meters by the explosion, and his entire face was eroded by the Soul Devouring Flame.


    Her face was scarred by the rocks, leaving behind numerous scars. Her clothes were a mess, and the surrounding people were looking at her with even more burning gazes.


    "Tsk, how lucky." Jun Qiyan raised an eyebrow. He actually wasn''t ignited by the Soul Devouring Flame.


    "Ah, Jun Qianyan, I''m going to kill you ~" Jun Yanran looked around and rushed towards Jun Qianyan with a sword in her hand. The beast pattern on her face was even more ferocious and frightening.


    Jun Qiyan raised her eyebrows, as she released the oppressive aura of a dragon towards Jun Yanran.


    "Pu ~" Jun Yanran fell face first onto the ground and started chewing on a piece of sh * t.


    "You, what did you do?" She continued to struggle, but the more she struggled, the more terrified she became. The demonic beast''s inner core was no longer operating.


    "I forgot to tell you, the dragon race can suppress all kinds of beasts. I really want to thank you for using the core of a low level demon beast." Jun Qianyan smiled as she stepped forward, picked up the sword in Jun Yanran''s hand, and gently swiped it across her face.


    "I remember that you loved that face the most. How did it become like this now?" The sharp edge of the sword drew blood on the beast mark on Jun Yanran''s face.


    Jun Yanran''s body was trembling uncontrollably.


    "Meng Huairen ¡­" She looked at Meng Huairen, who was fighting in the distance. "Father... "Save me." She was really scared. She was afraid that Jun Qiyan would destroy her face and kill her. She could feel the cold sword intermingling with the boiling blood, constantly stimulating her soul.


    On the other side, Meng Huairen was extremely excited when he heard Jun Yanran address him as her father. He hurriedly flung his enemies away as he made a grabbing motion with his fingers, sending a violent aura towards Jun Qiyan.


    Jun Qianyan lowered her eyebrows as she looked at the delighted Jun Yanran. Without looking back, she threw the sword in her hand. A gigantic sword beam appeared in the sky as a gigantic blue sword projection.


    Sword light illuminated the slightly gloomy world, and there was uncertainty in the air. There were abnormally strange marks, and within each mark, there was a sword light that caused one''s heart to palpitate.


    "Puff ¡­" The incoming Meng Huairen was directly struck by the ruthless sword. The light sword penetrated his body and penetrated his Jindan. Blood spurted out from the wound as blood splattered everywhere.


    "Yanran ~" Meng Huairen''s white robe was instantly dyed red with blood. He lay on the ground, unable to move. He looked at Jun Qiyan in disbelief. He could not stand up to a single move from her.


    "Ah ~" Jun Yanran''s elated expression froze on her face. She could not believe that Meng Huairen, who had come to save her, had died just like that. Her lucky father had died just like that ¡­


    "Don''t worry, I''ll immediately send you down to reunite with her and your family ¡­" Jun Qiyan looked at Meng Huairen with a deadpan expression. She had her eyes fixed on Jun Yanran, who was standing in front of her.


    "No ¡­" "No." Jun Yanran looked at Jun Qiyan, trembling with fear, as she struggled to hold onto her legs.


    "Right, where''s your mother?" Jun Qiyan looked around and didn''t see any trace of that person.


    When Jun Yanran heard the question, her eyes trembled for a moment. Then, a trace of hatred flashed past her eyes, "She, she died ¡­" After being killed by her, Jun Yanran had killed her own mother because she couldn''t accept the fact that her Aurous Core had shattered.


    Jun Qianyan raised her eyebrows, and kicked Jun Yanran away with her right foot, which was filled with spiritual energy. It formed a parabola in the air, and the kick left her with another mouthful of blood.


    "A person like you is not even worthy of having a Monstrous Beast''s inner core." Finished speaking, Jun Qiyan stepped forward and with her five fingers forming a claw, she shot towards Jun Yanran''s dantian.


    "No ¡­" Jun Yanran''s heart-wrenching sound rang out as she was viciously pierced through her abdomen. She withdrew her five fingers and took out a red beast core.


    "Tsk." Jun Qiyan''s fingers were covered in blood, and a light flashed in his eyes. He pinched the inner core and rubbed it against his palm, and then he crushed the inner core with force, turning it into dust.


    "Jun Qiyan... You will die a miserable death. " At this moment, Jun Yanran''s abdomen was penetrated, and blood was flowing out. Her face was already ashen, and she was on the verge of death.


    "You should have thought of this when you led your men to destroy the Jun Family." Jun Qiyan snorted coldly as she tossed a ball of Soul Devouring Flame onto Jun Yanran''s body. The Soul Devouring Flame seemed to have received some nourishment as it instantly combusted, turning Jun Yanran into ashes in an instant.


    On the other side, Jun Yunge was trembling with fear when he saw the cruel side of Jun Qianyan''s face. He secretly thought about leaving the peak of Mystic Cloud and finding that he was no longer on the battlefield.


    She anxiously descended the mountain, afraid that Jun Qiyan would point her spearhead at her and die as tragically as Jun Yanran.

 C327

    At this time, most of the cultivators of the Eastern Xuan Continent had already descended the mountain. Only Feng Cheng was left on the mountain.


    Jun Qiyan''s expression was dark as she drew back, feeling that they were fighting with those from the Sword Spirit Sect.


    "Jun Qiyan!" When he looked back, he saw that the bad guy Meng had already died a horrible death. Meng Huairen had been a follower of the white tiger for the longest time, and he was even the Great Elder of the Sword Spirit Sect.


    "Jun Qiyan, you actually dared to kill the Great Elder of my sect!" The tiger was infuriated. It then took out a dark red pill that exuded a fishy stench.


    Ah!" The spirit energy in the air started to unrestrainedly rush into his body, the muscles on his body tore and inflated inch by inch, his skin became bloodshot as his cultivation began to increase at a speed visible to the naked eye. The veins on his face bulged, and his height and body became as big as a wild beast.


    "Jun Qiyan, do you want to try out the finished product that we have been experimenting with for many years? "Haha ¡­" Bai Qiaohu''s mouth turned into a bloody maw, and each of his Qing Sutra could be clearly seen on his face.


    Jun Qiyan''s heart skipped a beat as she had a bad premonition. Sure enough, the rest of the people from the Sword Spirit Sect also took out their pills after seeing Bai Qiuhu consume them.


    The Mystical Cloud Mountain was instantly filled with the roars of ferocious beasts. This method of transforming into a Demonic Beast was clearly different from the one Jun Yanran had just used to swallow the inner core. They had only become stronger and had the defensive capabilities of a Demonic Beast, but they were still human beings ¡­


    The pressure of Jun Qiyan and the pressure of the dragon race were of little use.


    Jun Qianyan didn''t know how strong the people on the other side were, so she anxiously looked at Xiao Jin Long who was floating above the clouds. She saw that the other dragons were forming a formation while suppressing the Soaring Snakes; clearly, they hadn''t reached the Water Manipulation stage yet.


    Right now, Di Mo Jiu was still dealing with the three men in black, so it was hard to tell who would win.


    "All of you, retreat. Protect Gu Yao well." Jun Qiyan said to the people behind him in a low voice, as he prepared himself to fight with the tiger.


    Feng Chenlang, Jing Ji Bai and the rest also had unsightly expressions. They knew that they could not help much with their current situation and could only secretly retreat behind Gu Yao to protect him.


    At the same time, Gu Yao''s downcast gaze flickered with a peculiar light as he looked at Jun Qianyan''s red silhouette, which was indescribably complicated.


    "Tiger Leopard Fist!" Bai Qiuhu stepped forward, and the sounds of his fists colliding with each other echoed in the air, bringing with it scorching flames.


    Jun Qiyan had no choice but to retreat half a step. Immediately, more people from the Sword Spirit Sect surrounded her, and her huge body turned into a shadow.


    Jun Qiyan''s expression didn''t change. He spun his body around, and kicked out at the person behind him.


    The two forces collided with each other, forcing Jun Qiyan to retreat half a step. Behind her, the attacks of the White Knot Tiger came crashing in like a torrential tide. Jun Qianyan immediately dodged to the side, barely dodging the incoming attacks.


    "Let''s go help her. Changsheng, you keep an eye on Gu Yao." Seeing that Jun Qiyan was at a disadvantage, the two of them wanted to rush into the combat zone.


    "Yes." Ye Changsheng also knew that Jun Qiyan''s current situation was not too optimistic. Nodding his head, he pulled Gu Yao to the side.


    "Are you okay?" Ye Changsheng looked at the heavily injured Gu Yao and pulled his hand to prepare to take his pulse.


    "I''m fine!" Gu Yao''s voice was a little hoarse, no longer like it used to be. He calmly retracted his hand and refused Ye Changsheng''s pulse.


    Ye Changsheng''s eyes flickered. He felt that Gu Yao was exceptionally silent today, and was then relieved. He must have suffered a lot at the hands of the Sword Spirit Sect in order to do this, so he didn''t ask any more questions.


    At this time, Jun Qiyan looked at Feng Chenlang and the others who had just joined the battle unhappily. The two of them were only half-hearted in their efforts to defeat this group of vicious beasts, and she hadn''t thought that the Sword Spirit Sect would have some tricks up their sleeves for this.


    "Qiyan, don''t be angry. Although our strength is not very strong, it''s still better than dealing with so many people by yourself." Feng Chenlang turned his head and smiled at Jun Qiyan, and then rushed towards her.


    Jun Qiyan frowned for a long while before she finally relaxed and cast her gaze towards the White Tiger.


    Since that was the case, she had to get rid of the White Garuda Tiger as soon as possible.


    "Shua ~" Jun Qianyan pulled out a dagger, as his nimble body revolved around the tiger. While the beast''s defense increased, there was also a drawback to its agility, and that was that it was slow. Jun Qiyan wanted to finish off the tiger in terms of speed.


    Jun Qiyan moved behind Bai Qiuhu, picked up his dagger and stabbed it towards his back at lightning speed. "Dang ~" The dagger seemed to have hit a hard iron, actually producing the sound of metal colliding with metal.


    Upon hearing his words, the white Qiu Hu immediately flipped in the air and punched toward Jun Qiyan with an overwhelming momentum.


    Jun Qiyan wasn''t able to retreat in time and was sent flying by the impact of the fist.


    "Oh ~" Jun Qiyan forcefully suppressed the blood Qi that was gushing out of her mouth as her eyes flickered with a sinister, cold anger.


    "Ah ha-ha, Jun Qianyan, this is armor made from the scales of your dragon clan. Do you think that broken dagger of yours can pierce through it?" The White Garment Tiger laughed extremely arrogantly, and its aura was even more imposing than before.


    Dragon scales!


    Jun Qiyan''s pupils constricted. No wonder she felt that this aura was so familiar. She laughed as she used the dragon scales to deal with the dragon.


    With a leap, he transformed into a golden dragon and dashed toward the White Garment Tiger.


    Comparing beast transformations with her? Compete in defense with her? Competing with her in speed?


    Jun Qiyan gathered his spirit energy into the dragon''s tail, and swung it towards the white Qiu Hu with an explosive force. The huge body of the white Qiu Hu could not be avoided as it was sent flying by the dragon''s tail. It formed a parabola in the air and smashed onto the ground.


    Jun Qiyan took the opportunity to give chase as her four dragon claws clawed at the fallen white fur tiger. Her sharp dragon claws left a deep bloody gash that was so deep that its bones could be seen.


    Ah!" In pain, Bai Qiuhu struck out with his right hand, and Jun Feiyan swung her Divine Dragon tail to avoid the attack.


    Jun Qiyan moved behind Bai Qiuhu, and the eagle picked him up like a chick. It lifted him up onto the cliff and slammed him again and again. Every strike landed on his abdomen, creating a long crack.


    Bai Qiuhu had been thoroughly smashed, but he couldn''t move against the dragon''s body. He could only allow Jun Qiyan to bash him up.


    "Bam!" Jun Qiyan threw out the tiger, and it''s body smashed into another mountain, creating a deep hole that released the beast transformation. Fresh blood flowed out of his face, and within his body, his Jindan had already started to crack.

 C328

    However, Jun Qiyan didn''t plan on letting go of the White Garment Tiger. He turned his head and looked towards the White Garment Tiger ¡­


    "Cough, cough. Milord, save me!" When he saw Jun Qiyan coming over again, Bai Qiuhu excitedly asked the three men in black for help. The man in black''s eyes were calm as he silently cursed the piece of trash, avoiding Di Mo Jiu''s attack as he sent a palm strike towards Jun Qianyan. The wide palm art contained boundless amounts of spiritual energy, and it condensed into a palm shape that blotted out the sky and covered the earth as it attacked Jun Qiyan.


    When Jun Qiyan saw the seal on the wall, her eyes widened in anger. She couldn''t dodge an attack from such a large area.


    "Swish ~ ~" Jun Qiyan only felt a flash in front of her eyes as an intense sound of impact entered her ears. Another mountain had suffered a huge palm attack, but it had collapsed with a loud bang, leaving the White Tiger buried in the ground.


    Jun Qiyan raised her head, confused. At this moment, she had already regained her human form and was being embraced by Di Mo Jiu.


    "Ninth Elder ~" Jun Qiyan murmured. Di Mo Jiu had actually come to save her.


    "Are you alright?" Di Mo Jiu looked at her worriedly. He seemed to have seen her injured just now.


    "I''m fine!" Jun Qiyan shook his head. However, before the two of them could finish their words, three black-clothed men came rushing towards them. The next wave of attacks arrived in front of them.


    Di Mo Jiu''s black eyes flashed with a mysterious light. He threw Jun Feiyan back into the Mystical Cloud Mountain and rushed forward. The four of them immediately started to fight, causing the air to distort and the clouds to change.


    Jun Qiyan also knew that she wouldn''t be able to participate in this kind of battle. She turned around and flew towards the other disciples of the Sword Spirit Sect.


    Jun Qiyan was thinking like this, so although the fight was intense, it was also easier. She did not know that one of the men in black who had been fighting Di Mo Jiu was already at the top of Mystic Cloud Mountain.


    The black clothed person''s figure was just like a shadow of a dark night. His speed was extremely fast as he rapidly advanced from behind Jun Qiyan.


    "Be careful!" Jing and Ji Bai looked at the person behind Jun Qianyan with fear and trepidation. Jun Qianyan''s face darkened slightly as she immediately turned around and struck out with a frightening palm strike.


    "Bang ~ ~" The two palms collided, and a deep stream of air surged between the heavens and the earth, shaking the earth, causing the two of them to retreat one after another. Blood seeped out of the corner of Jun Feiyan''s mouth.


    So powerful! The black clothed man looked at Jun Qiyan, his gaze sinister and vicious.


    "Qiyan, how are you?" Jing and Ji Bai kicked their enemies away and rushed to Jun Qiyan''s side.


    "I''m fine." Jun Qianyan shook her head as she continued to confront the man in black. Suddenly, a violent storm sprang up between the two of them, with no wind blowing around them. Their auras and auras, spirit energy and pressure collided, and a red and a green energy clashed against each other.


    The wind blew and the clouds surged. The clouds completely dispersed and the air began to tear apart, revealing layers and layers of small imprints. A scorching hot current whistled by and followed its path, drifting away.


    On the surface, it looked like both of them were evenly matched but in reality, Jun Qianyan''s body was riddled with thousands of holes. Her opponent''s energy was faintly discernible as it entangled her spirit energy, wreaking havoc within her body.


    After a long time, while the two were still battling, the dark eyes of the black clothed man suddenly turned towards the area behind Jun Qiyan where Ye Changsheng and Gu Yao were.


    Jun Qiyan''s heart skipped a beat. This man in black was really despicable. Sure enough, he no longer faced Jun Qiyan head on as he flew towards Gu Yao.


    She wanted to protect her friend.


    The black clothed person covered his face, his only exposed eyes swearing his determination. Jun Qianyan frantically circulated the spirit energy within her body, her aura suddenly soaring as she arrived in front of the black clothed person first, protecting Ye Changsheng and Gu Yao behind her.


    "Despicable, if you can''t beat them, then you have to attack the weaker ones?" Jun Qianyan looked at the black clothed man with a burning gaze, the corners of the eyes of the black clothed man slightly hooked up as his evil eyes revealed a dangerous aura along with a trace of ridicule ¡­


    Why would they mock him? When Jun Qiyan saw the look in the man in black''s eyes, he was puzzled.


    "Is that so?" The black clothed man spoke slowly, the mockery in his eyes growing even more intense. Jun Qianyan grew even more frightened when she saw this.


    She was protecting her friend. Why did he want to laugh? He still had that mocking smile!


    Suddenly, Jun Qianyan realized something. Her heart was seized by a huge wave of fear as she quickly turned around.


    "Pfft ~" The sound of a sharp blade piercing through flesh rang out. In front of Jun Qianyan, Gu Yao was stabbing at her with a special dark dagger, but was suddenly blocked by Ye Changsheng who suddenly flew over, the dagger stabbing at Ye Changsheng''s abdomen with a chilling killing intent.


    Countless amounts of spirit energy poured out from the dagger, and Ye Changsheng slowly fell onto Jun Qianyan''s body. His already pale face became even paler, as bright red blood flowed out of the corner of his mouth, forming a stark contrast with his pale face.


    "Longevity!" Jun Qianyan hurriedly reached out his hand to cover the stinger of Ye Changsheng''s wound, and shoved the pill in his hand into Ye Changsheng''s mouth with all his might.


    Countless pills rolled from his mouth and Jun Qiyan''s trembling fingers were filled with incredulity as she watched this scene unfold.


    "Qi, Dye." Ye Changsheng raised a pale smile as more and more blood flowed from his mouth. "Qiyan, don''t waste your energy." Ye Changsheng''s white clothes were drenched in blood.


    Jun Qiyan did not speak and passed his spiritual energy to Ye Changsheng. Why? Why did the spiritual energy seem to have sunk to the bottom of the sea?


    Jun Qi stared at the dark red dagger with bloodshot eyes. She knew that this dagger was definitely special. It was constantly absorbing Ye Changsheng''s life force, so the medicine and healing were useless.


    Jun Qiyan trembled uncontrollably. As a doctor and a Grade Nine Alchemist, she was unable to save her friend. Not only could she not save him, she even made him die for her. She could only watch on as he died.


    "Don''t move, I''ll definitely save you." Jun Qiyan''s hands were trembling as he desperately crushed the medicinal pellet, placed it on the wound, and continuously transferred spirit energy into it.


    "Gu Yao, cough, I know. I don''t hate you!" Every time Ye Changsheng spoke, more blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth. His blurry eyes looked at the bewildered Gu Yao, causing Gu Yao to uncontrollably tremble.


    He knew that he was someone who could hear the sounds of animals and plants, and they had already told him so. He even knew that he would have a calamity happen today, that he would die, that Gu Yao would betray him, but he didn''t run.


    He was afraid that if he didn''t die, Jun Qiyan would die ¡­


    Cough, Qiyan, listen to me. I was someone who should have died a long time ago, and now, I can follow you on your travels to the north and south, punish evil, punish good deeds, and enjoy the happiness of life. In the end, I can even die with such value. Ye Changsheng held tightly onto Jun Qiyan''s hand, his pale fingers pinching until they turned white, but his body''s temperature gradually grew colder.


    "Longevity ¡­" Ye Changsheng? "Ye Changsheng!" Jun Qianyan helplessly shook the lifeless Ye Changsheng. "Ah!" Jun Qiyan''s tears finally flowed down, leaving a trail of tears on his bloodied face.

 C329

    Jun Qianyan tightly embraced Ye Changsheng as his tears of despair dripped down onto Ye Changsheng''s tightly shut eyes.


    Ye Changsheng was a silent person. In this group, he was even somewhat out of place. He liked to converse with plants and vegetation, and he liked to wear a smile as he watched everyone make a ruckus.


    He had always been a passer-by, but he was more sensitive than anyone else. He was afraid that his friend would abandon him and forget him, but even so, he was willing to die for his friend.


    There was no turning back.


    "Gu Yao, what did you do?" When Feng Chen Lang and Ji Bai arrived, they saw their leader in the arms of Jun Qiyan. Gu Yao was standing to the side, at a loss as to what to do.


    Only now did Gu Yao realize that Ye Changsheng had died in order to save Jun Qianyan, and looked at the black-clothed man with a helpless expression.


    "Gu Yao, when did you betray us?" Jun Qiyan silently raised his head, his gaze was as cold as ice that could freeze a person to the bone.


    Gu Yao, the person she had always thought was a companion of hers, had actually wanted to stab her in the back with a fatal move.


    Seeing that he had been kidnapped by the Sword Spirit Sect, she became extremely angry. She desperately tried to save him and made everyone protect him.


    Gu Yao gave her a resounding slap on the face.


    "Yes, I''m sorry ¡­" Gu Yao''s lips trembled as he retreated. He didn''t know how he had done all this. He didn''t know that Ye Changsheng was going to die, so he didn''t think about it.


    "Sorry?" Jun Qianyan put down Ye Changsheng and took him in with a flash of the Nuwa Stone in her hand. She would not allow her friends to be restless even if they were to die.


    "You must be trying to kill me. Are you regretting killing the wrong person?" Jun Qiyan closed in on Gu Yao step by step, and in his hand was the dark red dagger that he had used to kill Ye Changsheng.


    "No ¡­" "No, I have my difficulties." Gu Yao retreated step by step, his face filled with grief as he looked at the dagger in Jun Qiyan''s hand.


    "Jun Qiyan, have you forgotten my existence?" The one behind him? The sinister and ridiculing voice rang out once again. He had just been waiting to see Jun Qiyan''s angry and sorrowful appearance. To be betrayed by the person closest to him must have been extremely heartbreaking.


    Jun Qiyan stopped, his fingers tightly gripped his dagger. That''s right, the black clothed man was the culprit. The reason he kidnapped Gu Yao was not to threaten her but to turn them upside down, letting her experience the feeling of being betrayed.


    Letting them mess around, Gu Yao''s rebellious arrangement was really good.


    Thinking of this, Jun Qianyan suddenly turned around and stabbed the dagger towards the man in black. The dagger''s dim light slashed across the man''s face, narrowly avoiding the blade.


    "Of course I won''t forget. I''ll immediately make you pay with your life." Jun Qiyan brandished his dagger and quickly intertwined with the man in black. His entire body exuded a strong killing intent.


    "Jie Jie Jie Jie, little girl, I see that you have some skills. If you stop right now, I can bring you back to the upper echelons. When the time comes, you will definitely be appreciated by the Lord." While dodging Jun Qianyan''s moves, the black-clothed man secretly tempted her at the same time.


    However ¡­


    "Then take your corpse and let that so-called lord admire you!" Jun Qiyan sneered, as a flower appeared in the dagger in his hand, carrying an overwhelming amount of spiritual energy.


    "Ah ~" The black-clothed man''s arm was pierced by the dagger and the blood spirit energy was instantly absorbed. His arm shriveled up at a speed visible to the naked eye, causing the black-clothed man to have no choice but to break his own arm and grimace in pain.


    "Bitch, you refuse a toast and refuse a forfeit." The black-clothed man, who had lost his arm and saved his life, cursed as he started to circulate the spiritual energy in his body. The black mist wildly roared as it engulfed Jun Qianyan.


    Jun Qiyan began to retreat step by step, avoiding the black clothed man''s attacks. The dagger began to burn with the light of the Soul Devouring Flame, shining upon her bloodstained face, making her look even more sinister, as if she was an emissary from hell.


    "Heh, what do you think?" Her red dress was fluttering in the wind. With a wave of her hand, the black mist in front of her was completely engulfed by the Soul Devouring Flame, and the huge flame instantly turned into a lion that stood in the air and roared as it spat out even more flames, igniting even the air itself.


    The black clothed person''s eyes were silent. He suppressed the fear in his heart. How could a mere Jindan from the lower realm materialize spiritual energy?


    The black clothed man thought too much, but Jun Qiyan knew that this was different from the Soaring Snake''s spiritual energy transformation. This was a form created by the Soul Devouring Flame, and since the Soul Devouring Flame did not have a shape, it would change from her to its master.


    "Roar ~ ~" The lion roared and sprinted towards the man in black, Jun Qiyan''s eyes filled with anger. The light of the Soul Devouring Flame illuminated the entire land, and accidentally, the plant life forms that came into contact with the Soul Devouring Flame immediately turned into ashes, and even the clouds were burnt to ashes.


    On the other side


    Feng Chenlang and the others saw Jun Qianyan turn his head to look for the black-clothed man, so they took the initiative to face Gu Yao. Ye Changsheng and Gu Yao were an integral part of them, and they passed through the ranks of the students as they became stronger.


    They were on guard against everyone except for their own people, who they unconditionally trusted. And now ¡­


    Just like that, Gu Yao had betrayed them and killed Ye Changsheng.


    How could they accept this? Right now, they only wanted to capture Gu Yao and ask him if he was unworthy of them, or if he was unworthy of them, or if he was unworthy of Ye Changsheng.


    "Gu Yao!" I will make you regret it today. " "Stop!" Jing and Ji Bai shouted in anger, a cold light appearing in their eyes.


    "What do you want to do? "Don''t come over." Gu Yao hurriedly retreated. He knew that he had let Ye Changsheng down, had let down their trust, but there really was nothing he could do.


    "You heartless bastard." Feng Chenlang glanced at him in disgust as he channeled the spirit energy around his body to rush up. His five fingers gripped onto his claws as a wave of unstoppable air began to condense in his hands.


    "Why are you forcing me? Since it''s like this, don''t blame me for being heartless." Gu Yao''s originally sorrowful expression suddenly disappeared. Instead, he started questioning Feng Chenlang and the rest. He no longer blindly dodged and took the initiative to face Feng Chenlang''s attack.


    Beijing''s Ji Bai suddenly felt that all his years of making friends had been in vain. He was the one who had betrayed them, not only did he not admit his mistake, he even questioned them and turned them into bad people.


    Feng Chen Lang''s attack directly collided with Gu Yao''s, the two spiritual energies collided, causing two hurricanes to clash with each other. Not long later, Feng Chen Lang''s aura weakened, and he was forced back a step by Gu Yao, his face turning pale.


    They all knew of Gu Yao''s strength, so they didn''t think that he would be able to beat Feng Chenlang ¡­


    "Ho ¡­ Who exactly are you? You''ve been concealing yourself even after being together with us for so long?" Jing and Ji Bai supported Feng Chen Lang, who was retreating, and rushed forward by himself.

 C330

    "Hidden? No, it''s just that you guys have never paid attention to me. " Gu Yao sneered. Facing his former friend, he showed no signs of remorse. His moves were also sharp and filled with killing intent.


    Beijing''s Ji Bai knew that Gu Yao was really planning to kill them.


    "Gu Yao, I''ll make you pay for what you did today!" At the start, they only wanted to capture Gu Yao and interrogate him, but now, they definitely wouldn''t let this enemy go.


    "Bang!" One fierce attack after another caused the spirit energy to tremble. The three continued to fight.


    On the other side, Jun Qiyan''s foot slammed into the black-clothed man''s chest, sending him flying several meters away. The impact created an arc in the air. Although the dagger didn''t pierce him, it still left many wounds on his body.


    Jun Qiyan realized that the wounds caused by the dagger would not only not heal, but would also continue to flow further and further. Therefore, the man in black who had been cut countless times seemed to have turned into a man made of blood.


    Jun Qiyan thought of an ancient method of dealing with death row criminals. She wanted to use this dagger that had killed Ye Changsheng to hack the black clothed man into a thousand pieces.


    The tip of her foot lightly touched the ground and she started to walk in a strange way. It was like dancing, but her speed was extremely fast. She was so fast that before the black clothed man could clearly see her direction, she suddenly appeared in front of the black clothed man and gave him a wound.


    This is the Latin dance that Jun Qixian learned in modern times, she suddenly had the idea of integrating the dance into the style to speed up the spirit.


    "Jun Qiyan!" The black clothed man was in a sorry state, yet he couldn''t catch her. He could only grit his teeth and dodge in all directions.


    "I told you, I will definitely make you pay with your life." Jun Qiyan''s words seemed to have directly exploded in his ears. The black clothed man turned around in a flash, but could not see anything as he cautiously surveyed his surroundings.


    "Shua ~" Another red shadow flew past. A piece of flesh was cut off from the chest of the black clothed man. Blood splattered everywhere, creating a cruel scene.


    "Go to hell!" A ghost-like sound rang out once more as the black-clothed man''s disorderly voice sounded out to block Jun Qiyan''s attack.


    "Pu ~" The man in black suddenly stopped waving his hands. A dark red dagger was firmly stuck in his chest. The dagger greedily absorbed his blood and spirit energy, not giving him any chance to survive.


    "Jun ¡­" Before the man in black could finish his last sentence, his entire person lost all color in his face. Jun Qiyan pulled out her dagger coldly. The dagger glowed with the light of blood, and a red line flowed through her hand, disappearing without a trace ¡­


    On the other side, after the man in black fell down, his body suddenly twitched and a small transparent person appeared. It was the man in black''s appearance. He was preparing to leave with hatred in his face.


    "Bang ~ ~" Di Mo Jiu dodged the other two and delivered a fierce attack which landed on the little guy''s body. The little guy''s terrified expression disappeared amidst the explosion.


    "What is this?" Jun Qiyan looked at Di Mo Jiu tiredly. When she fought with the black clothed man, she had also suffered a heavy injury. Although she didn''t show it on the surface, her internal organs had long since moved, causing her to be in excruciating pain.


    "Nascent Soul, you''ll know when you get to the top!" Di Mo Jiu pointed to the sky, not intending to explain in detail to Jun Feiyan right now.


    "Are you alright?" Di Mo Jiu flew down, feeling some heartache over Jun Qianyan''s current state. He had seen the scene of Gu Yao''s rebellion, and as the witness of this rebellion, he didn''t know how to comfort Jun Qianyan.


    "Not bad." Jun Qiyan shook her head as she smiled at Di Mo Jiu, then turned her gaze onto the dragon-kind soaring in the clouds.


    "Little Gold Dragon?" Are you all right? "


    "Alright!" Little Gold Dragon lowered his head to look at Jun Qianyan, his expression solemn, as if he had never been serious before.


    "Creatures of the sea, obey my commands."


    "King of the Dragon race, ride the water."


    "For water, blood for thee." Xiao Jin Long stood in the middle of the dragon group and formed complicated seals with his hands. After a long while, a drop of his heart''s blood flew out from his chest and quickly flew towards the East Sea.


    In a short moment, the clouds in the sky started to churn, churning layer after layer like a pitch black hole. As the winds and clouds changed, a bolt of lightning struck out of the vortex heavily, as if it wanted to tear apart the mountains and rivers.


    Thunder began to rumble in the sky and it seemed as if this world would be shattered by the thunder.


    A gale suddenly rose, bringing with it pieces of broken stones that flew and spun in the air.


    The sky had already darkened. Occasionally, there would be flashes of lightning that would cause everyone''s faces to turn deathly pale, and the sky would become filled with the wails of ghosts and the howls of wolves.


    A gale burst forth, followed by a torrential downpour. A gaping gash in the sky, with a dark, dangerous atmosphere, seemed to swallow up the world in a single gulp.


    "He''s coming." Jun Qiyan''s hair was flying in all directions, and her red clothes were flying all over the place. At this moment, she was staring at the black hole with a burning gaze.


    "Swish ¡­" Countless amounts of sea water poured in, slanted out of the black hole, and brought along an unstoppable force that could not be stopped as it poured straight towards the summit of Mystical Cloud Mountain.


    Shockingly, he saw that the sea water was carrying the unique magical beast of the East China Sea. The mermaid''s sharp teeth were clattering as she charged towards him along with the sea water.


    Jun Qianyan quickly stepped forward to join Feng Chenlang and Gu Yao''s battle. Gu Yao instantly fell into defeat because of Jun Qiyan''s participation. He was sent flying with a palm strike, forming an arc as he spat out a mouthful of blood.


    "Gu Yao, the reason I''m not killing you today is because of our relationship from the past. I''ve discovered that I, Jun Qiyan, have drawn a clear line between us." Jun Qiyan stood next to Gu Yao, looking down at him from above. "Next time, I''ll take your head to pay my respects to your longevity."


    Ye Changsheng had died because of her. She would not let him die for nothing. This time, it was she who had sympathy for Gu Yao, and it could also be considered as returning the friendship that these five people had accumulated over the years.


    After he finished speaking, Jun Qiyan gathered Feng Chenlang and the others into the Nuwa Stone. Now that the ocean water was about to arrive, they couldn''t stay here any longer.


    On the other side, the remaining two black-clothed men were stunned for a moment when they saw their companion''s nascent soul destroyed. Then, they were shocked by the change in the world. Only now did they realize that the dragon race was actually going to pour seawater down.


    They knew the amount of seawater in the East Sea. If they really poured it all in, it might even flood the entire East Xuan Continent. When that time came, all of their plans would be for naught, and they would be killed by their lord when they returned.


    Just as he was thinking, the seawater had already arrived. The gigantic Soaring Serpent''s wings were already half destroyed. Facing the attacks of Hai Shui and the monster hordes, he could only passively receive beatings. His aura also became weaker and weaker.


    The two men in black were trembling in fear. Seeing that the situation had gone out of control, they thought it was best to leave.


    "You want to run?" Jun Qiyan''s eyes were dark and serene as she fought with Di Mo and Jiu Fei for it. Rays of red blade lights rained down like a torrential downpour, filling the air with the ripples of sword light and spirit energy.


    The black-clothed man could only turn around and face the challenge. To them, this 2v2 fight was a slow death.

 C331

    Sure enough, one of the black-clothed men was unable to dodge in time and was stabbed by Jun Qianyan''s blade! The other was sent flying with a palm strike from Di Mo Jiu, his face pale.


    "Bang ~ ~" At the same time, the waters of the East China Sea crashed into Mystical Cloud Mountain, producing a deafening sound. Half of the mountain was broken, and the people on the mountain were so shocked that their internal organs trembled, causing countless lives to be devoured by the sea water.


    Jun Qiyan didn''t care about that side of things. He raised his dagger and attacked again. Di Mo Jiu cooperated with him and quickly attacked. The two of them had a tacit understanding of each other.


    "Sir, there''s no need to be so ruthless." The man in black gritted his teeth and blocked the attacks of the two men. His face was filled with fear.


    "Killing in exchange for one''s life, how can we be so ruthless? If it was the winners, would you spare us?" Jun Qiyan sneered coldly as he looked at the black clothed man with extreme disdain.


    "Hmph." The black-clothed man also knew that if he won, he would definitely kill Jun Qianyan. At this time, he couldn''t even speak, and could only desperately resist Jun Qiyan''s attack.


    Jun Qiyan''s eyes flashed as his attacks became fiercer. The dark red dagger slashed into the man''s body, leaving behind bone-deep wounds. The blood was once again absorbed by the dagger, leaving not even the slightest mark.


    Jun Qiyan suddenly felt a bit manic in his heart. He wanted to make the man in black bleed more and more. The dagger in his hand flashed one after another.


    The man in black was already covered in blood, and the pill could not heal the wound. If this went on, he would die from blood loss.


    The two men in black glanced at each other, seeing the determination in each other''s eyes, their lips curled up in an evil smile.


    Di Mo Jiu''s calm eyes suddenly stopped, and his pupils suddenly enlarged.


    He grabbed the attacking Jun Qiyan and retreated.


    "Bang ¡­" "Bang ¡­" Two loud explosions rang out, and the bodies of the two men in black who were originally retreating expanded at an extremely fast speed, causing blood to spurt out in the air. The blood, flesh, and limbs were all blown up, and spiritual energy was released in all directions, creating a shockwave.


    Even though Jun Qianyan was being carried away by Di Mo Jiu, he was still affected by the two explosive streams of air. His clothes were cut by these two streams of air, and his blood was roiling; his head was spinning.


    "Qiyan." Di Moyu, who had blocked most of the self-destructing damage, hugged Jun Qianyan as he looked at her in heartache. Blood was trickling down from the corner of her mouth.


    "I''m fine." Jun Qianyan waved his hand as he suppressed the surging blood and Qi within his body and looked towards the location of the explosion.


    The place was filled with smoke, but two tiny, transparent figures were still faintly rising up.


    "They want to run!" With a loud shout from Jun Qianyan, Di Mo Jiu''s eyes flashed as he grabbed a small, transparent person with his hand.


    The little fellow was still dressed in luxurious clothing. He had a long beard and his face was full of wrinkles. From a glance, one could tell that he was an old man.


    Jun Qiyan frowned as he looked at the struggling little fellow. Then, he stretched out his hand to touch the little person''s body.


    "These are Nascent Souls. They can''t be touched. With their cultivation base at this level, they can revive even without their bodies." Di Mo Jiu explained to the curious Jun Qianyan.


    "That''s why you have to grind down your nascent soul before you can truly eliminate them." Di Mo Jiu''s voice suddenly turned cold and fierce, the two little fellows were so frightened that their eyes popped out.


    "No!" An old and hoarse voice rang out, and the two little fellows struggled with all their might. Jun Feiyan raised her eyebrows. Was this their true voice? They were all hundred-year-old demons.


    "If I were to cut the grass, I would get rid of the roots." They were all people who had lived for over a hundred years, and this mission of coming to this lowly plane was obviously a piece of cake. He had originally wanted to go back and ask for credit from his lord once he felt that he was doing well, but he had never thought that he would meet this'' gold grinder '', Jun Qiyan.


    Forget about it. He had encountered other major powers of the upper echelons who had fled after being unable to defeat him and the pain of self-detonation. He hadn''t expected that he would still be caught.


    If they were to lose a hundred years of their lives here, they would not be willing to accept it. As long as they completed this mission, they would definitely be allocated endless resources and gain an even higher cultivation base.


    "No ¡­" "No ¡­" A heart-wrenching sound rang through the sky, causing those who heard it to weep.


    "Wait, stop!"


    Shattered and full of strength, it sounded like a giant bell, but the sound suddenly reverberated through the entire world.


    Her soul could not stop trembling, and her body had lost the power to command. She could only stay where she was, the sound echoing in her mind, causing massive ripples to form in her brain.


    Even Di Mo Jiu stopped in his tracks, his heart sinking as he looked up at the sky with a cold gaze.


    The torrential sea water was still churning in the Black Cloud Mountain Range. The magical beasts inside all hid at the bottom of the ocean, not daring to breathe. Those below the cultivation level fell to the ground, bleeding from their orifices.


    What is this?


    Jun Qiyan struggled to raise her head, the originally clear sky was replaced by a black vortex in the sky.


    The whirlpool continuously spun bigger and bigger, bigger and bigger, until it almost took up the entire sky. The lower realm suddenly darkened, and an unimaginably huge pressure and aura continuously surged out from the whirlpool, causing the cultivators on the East Xuan Continent to be unable to breathe.


    Jun Qiyan''s throat tightened as he glared at the whirlpool that was about to sweep him away.


    The rapidly spinning vortex caused the air around it to be torn apart, revealing numerous small black holes. The black holes intertwined with the surrounding space to form the lightning blades, and the lightning bolts were instantly devoured by the darkness.


    It was as if the entire sky was about to shatter and fall.


    "You youngsters, kill my subordinates if you spoil my plans. Damn it." The muffled sound came again, and the whirlpool began to stir in reverse.


    Jun Qiyan retreated one step at a time. Her body felt an inexhaustible danger, but she couldn''t escape. Her brain told her that she couldn''t escape from such a powerful force.


    For the first time, Jun Feiyan felt that she was very weak. She felt that there was a sky above the heavens, that there was someone stronger than her.


    Is this the person from the upper echelon? Too strong, she couldn''t avoid it.


    "My lord, my lord!" The black-clothed man''s nascent soul was the happiest one on the scene. The two of them were dancing and looking at the vortex above their heads with excitement.


    The people above seemed to have heard their voices as well. A black line hammer descended and took away their nascent souls.


    "Useless, I don''t need it." These low, cold, and thin words caused the two Nascent Souls that had just flown into the air to be shattered into pieces amidst their despair and terror.


    "What is your name and why are you trying to disrupt my plans?" The voice questioned Jun Qianyan. Jun Qiyan felt a pair of sharp eyes staring at her, causing her to feel somewhat panicked.

 C332

    "I ¡­" Jun Qiyan stared at the two Nascent Souls that had been scared out of their wits. Suddenly, she felt as if her throat had been held down and couldn''t utter a sound. The blood in her body was boiling.


    "Are the people up there so wild now? How dare you attack the people below? " Di Mo Jiu could see that Jun Qiyan''s expression wasn''t right, so he held her in his arms. The warmth from his fingers caused her tense body to relax quite a bit.


    "You ¡­" The voice above paused for a moment, as an aura drifted over Di Mo Jiu''s body. The voice sounded a little surprised, "And who is it? This sovereign has seen you before."


    In fact, only a few people knew Di Mo Jiu''s identity, and even fewer had seen his face in the past thousands of years. It was normal for people in the Upper Realm to not know his identity, and Di Mo Jiu did not want to reveal his identity to this so-called Lord.


    "You don''t need to know ¡­" Di Mo Jiu sneered coldly.


    The heavy voice stopped once again, as if it hadn''t expected Di Mo Jiu to retort like that. This proud tone was either that of someone with a higher position than him, or that of someone who could brazenly and wildly distinguish between the situation and what was going on.


    It was impossible for him not to remember people who were taller than he was, so it was only the latter.


    "Haha, such arrogant words!" The dark clouds stirred in waves, as if they were vibrating with the laughter of those above.


    "Are you the so-called Lord? Order those people to conduct cruel experiments on the Eastern Xuan Continent, to massacre all lives? " With the help of Di Mo Jiu, Jun Qiyan slowly overcome the pressure, and stared at the roiling clouds in the sky with a heavy gaze.


    This person spoke for a long time, stirring up a storm and yet not showing his face. This meant that the suppressive laws of space and time existed, and this so-called ''lord'' simply couldn''t take it.


    "Tsk, can you ants even be considered living beings? "It''s just some little white rats that are in a good mood to raise. You were born to be killed, so obediently dying is your only fate." The voice from the clouds suddenly became extremely strange, yet it shook Jun Qiyan''s heart.


    What do you mean? Capturing? Little white mouse?


    Jun Qiyan turned his head to look at Di Mo Jiu in a daze as if asking something.


    Di Mo Jiu frowned. He had also come to this spiritual plane without knowing about it. However, there was reincarnation, and everything had its own laws of space and time. It was personal that didn''t exist.


    "Hehehe, this world is made up of three thousand worlds, and each world is a separate plane of existence. However, one day, these planes will be able to connect to each other, and from then on, the upper and lower planes will be separated into lower planes. The lower planes will also be worlds of mortals, and there will occasionally be planes of Immortal cultivators." A sigh came from the clouds, but there was no hint of regret.


    A hundred years ago, my clan discovered a convenient path to this plane. At that time, the East Peak Mainland was overflowing with spiritual energy. The voice from the clouds once again burst into wild laughter, and a penetrating voice rang in his ears.


    "Did you discover that there has never been a person in the Eastern Xuan Continent who ascended to the upper realms in the past hundred years? This is all because my clan has exhausted a hundred major powers to absorb the powerful spiritual energy of this plane and has set up a formation so that ants like you will only be able to cultivate to the peak of the Jindan Stage. "


    "How can a Jindan Stage ant soar in the sky!" The air swayed with the voice of the speaker, even the space was unstable. Jun Qiyan even suspected that the plane was about to collapse.


    The news that the Lord had brought was undoubtedly shocking. What kind of world was the Upper Plane? What was the Aurous Core stage? What was the peak? How could there be such a powerful force that could control the entire plane? How was it possible to absorb the spiritual qi from the plane?


    "Impossible. Every plane has restrictions of the Space and Time Laws." How could he allow someone to be so presumptuous? Di Mo Jiu looked at the clouds, seemingly wanting to see that person through the clouds. He could clearly feel the suppressive laws of this lower realm.


    "Yes, the powerful Time and Space Laws harvested the lives of over a hundred clan experts in exchange for absorbing the spiritual energy, but there are also people who can ignore the existence of the laws, right? Oh no, it''s a god. " The voice from the clouds suddenly carried a hint of respect.


    It''s God again!


    Jun Qiyan frowned as he understood the meaning behind the man''s words. In short, his clan had coincidentally discovered the passage to this plane, discovered that there was sufficient spiritual energy, and combined with the power of his clan, they had taken over this plane.


    Back then, the clan members who were involved in controlling this plane absorbed the spiritual energy of this plane and then were killed by the Time and Space Laws. Later on, some kind of god appeared, allowing him to jump out of the laws and help him master this plane better.


    "Heh, God doesn''t fear the laws of space and time, but you might not!" This group of beasts from the Upper Realm, those who could casually trample on the lower realm, still dared to boast shamelessly. If it was really as he said, taking the Eastern Profound Continent as its own, then as a powerful existence, Emperor Mo Jiu would be suppressed by the laws of this world, and he would not be able to discover his true identity.


    "You ¡­ ant. I didn''t come here today to tell you a story." The voice from above became a bit exasperated. The Time and Space Laws were indeed still here, and after the God had left, they became even more intense. The voice from above became a bit flustered and exasperated, and the Space and Time Laws were still there, and after the God had left, they became even more intense.


    "Are you angry with me? What do you mean by ''rearing the Lower Realm''? Do you think this place is really your own backyard? " Jun Qiyan provoked this lord without fear. His actions were even more vicious than those of the Sword Spirit Sect.


    "Are you trying to infuriate me?" An overbearing torrent of water was brought up along with his gloomy voice. Suddenly, the torrential waves of the East China Sea, which had been pouring into the Mystical Cloud Mountain, began swaying violently. An overwhelming tidal wave struck towards Jun Feiyan.


    Di Moyu immediately grabbed Jun Qiyan and avoided the attack of the tide, but the tide seemed as if it had eyes. Wherever Jun Qiyan went, the sea water would fly around like headless flies.


    "As expected, a disobedient little mouse like you should be killed as soon as possible!" I don''t like a disobedient toy like you. " He directly addressed Jun Qiyan as a toy, and the kind of pressure that made people unable to straighten their waists appeared once again. Jun Qiyan''s face paled slightly.


    Di Mo Jiu waved his arm and helped Jun Qiyan block most of the pressure. In this world, it was too weak. Any almighty being that came from a higher realm could be killed.


    However, just as Jun Qiyan let out a breath of relief, a cluster of lightning bolts flashed through the churning clouds.

    The sky was covered by dark clouds and thunder continued to ring. Lightning started to shoot out without restraint as it struck the ground. With a "bang", the mountain broke, and the lightning became denser and denser.


    The pitch-black world was illuminated by the lightning, making it seem as if it was as bright as the day. The lightning strikes and lightning strikes continued to approach Jun Qiyan, causing the entire world to be filled with lightning. Everything happened in the time it takes for a spark to fly off of a piece of flint. Di Mo Jiu brought Jun Qianyan to dodge the lightning''s attacks all over the place. The two of them moved forward rapidly, the lightning following closely behind them.


    The deafening sound of thunder unceasingly rang out. Countless people were instantly burnt into ashes after being struck by the lightning bolts. This kind of lightning was more than enough to deal with thunder tribulation.


    "Bang ~ ~" A lightning bolt as thick as a man''s thigh struck Jun Qiyan, causing her long hair to almost catch on fire. The two of them were struck by the lightning and fell backwards.


    Jun Qiyan was shaken to the point that her blood was boiling. A bolt of lightning as thick as an arm followed closely behind her. She hurriedly steadied her body and followed Di Mo Jiu out of the way.


    More and more lightning appeared in the sky. Lowering their heads, they could see that the Profound Cloud Mountain Range below had been blown into pieces. The plants had been set ablaze, and people were fleeing in all directions.


    It was simply impossible to escape like that. Everyone on the Eastern Xuan Continent was suffering because of her. Jun Qiyan gritted her teeth, pushed Di Mo Jiu aside and flew towards the dark clouds in the sky in the form of a dragon.


    The enormous golden dragon pierced through the dense lightning, constantly drawing closer to the black clouds.


    "Hmph, asking for trouble!" The gloomy voice once again rang out, as he looked disdainfully at the suicidal action of Jun Qianyan.


    Di Mo Jiu, who was pushed aside, saw that Jun Qiyan was actually rushing towards him. He was startled and immediately drew back to give chase, but his body was suddenly restrained by an invisible shackle; he was actually unable to move.


    Damn it, Di Mo Jiu cursed silently, then glared at Jun Qiyan, who was about to rush into the clouds. The rules of space and time were especially strong in this plane, he was not a member of this plane, he could stay here, but he had to suppress his cultivation and not interfere with the life or death of the creatures on this plane.


    Right now, his shackling power was the Law. This meant that Jun Qianyan''s life was in danger, and the Law did not allow him to interfere.


    The people from the upper echelon actually hadn''t killed anyone from this plane at all. They were also under the control of the laws.


    The reason why this lord could directly act against Jun Qianyan was because he himself was not in this plane. The laws that could affect him could not shackle him, however.


    At this time, Jun Qiyan was rushing forward regardless of anything else. She wanted to see the true nature of her master, and wanted to take away all of his attacks.


    Sure enough, after Jun Qiyan flew up, the lightning no longer chaotically struck everywhere, but converged at an extremely fast speed towards the center.


    "Ha ~" A disdainful sneer sounded as all the lightning gathered into one bolt. It was as thick as a tree with ten people surrounding it. On top of it, there were even countless small lightning bolts that flickered.


    "Qiyan!" Di Mo''s nine blue veins popped out as he glared at Jun Qianyan, madly circulating the spirit energy within his body. The black mist surrounding him surged, seemingly trying to break free from the shackles of the law.


    By now, Di Mo Jiu''s body was already covered in blood. His internal organs were all trembling, his blood was boiling, and blood was trickling down from the corner of his mouth.


    "Bang ~ ~" The thick lightning from the big tree suddenly fell down from the rolling layers of dark clouds, directly onto Jun Qiyan''s body. Jun Qianyan''s small figure was instantly devoured by the lightning, as bright as day, and this thick lightning connected to the ground.


    The air solidified, and the blinding light caused the entire world to turn white. The sky was densely packed with small cracks, as if it was being torn to pieces ¡­ Everyone could not help but close their eyes.


    After an unknown amount of time, the sky regained its tranquility. Lightning disappeared, the dark clouds faded, the sea reversed, and people began to pick up gentle rays of light ¡­


    What kind of scene was this? A ravine several tens of meters wide was torn open on the ground, and the ravine was pitch black and dark. Anyone who looked at it for a long time would feel a sense of terror.


    The place where the lightning landed formed a deep valley with a radius of a hundred miles, the rest of the place was filled with deep pits of varying sizes, they were all created by the lightning rain just now. The entire Eastern Xuan Continent was barren, and the dried up ground was filled with the corpses and slowly flowing blood.


    "Nine ¡­" "Grandpa ¡­"


    In the depths of the valley, Jun Qianyan was tightly held by Di Moyu. Both of them had turned into bloody men, and the meridians in his body were broken. A layer of flesh had been burned off from Di Mo Jiu''s back.


    Jun Qiyan was also bleeding profusely from all seven orifices; his red clothes were dyed a dark red. At this point, he woke up from his daze and looked at Di Mo Jiu who had died on his body.


    Who was Di Moyu? When had the exalted Demon God ever been in such a difficult situation? Just how many injuries had he suffered? Jun Qianyan clenched his teeth as he held onto Di Mo Jiu''s pulse.


    The weak pulse was so weak that it could not be felt. The meridians were broken, the internal organs were bleeding, and even bones were fractured. There was no need to mention the fact that he had burned himself.


    Tears flowed uncontrollably from Jun Qiyan''s eyes, mixing with her blood. Her meridians were all broken, and her body couldn''t move at all, not to mention treating Di Mo Jiu''s injuries.


    This fool still had to protect her at the last moment and protect her from this attack. Right now, Di Mo Jiu was just dragging his last breath.


    When Jun Qiyan tried to contact the Nuwa stone, she discovered that she couldn''t even use a trace of spiritual energy or spiritual energy. Furthermore, Tao Tie and the others couldn''t move at all in this battle, and she suddenly felt that she was powerless and helpless.


    "Cough! Cough! Cough!" A series of violent coughs suddenly sounded in the air. A bloody figure was struggling to get up from the deep pit nearby.


    Jun Qiyan''s eyes narrowed. The person who had just survived this great battle was actually ¡­ Jun Yunge!


    Jun Qianyan''s heart thumped. She had thought that this person hadn''t come when she was at the summit of the Profound Cloud Mountain. She hadn''t thought that she would still be able to hide here and survive the calamity.


    Jun Laige, who had struggled to get up, turned around and met Jun Qiyan''s bloodshot eyes. He had never expected that the bloodthirsty men lying on the ground beside him were actually Jun Qianyan and Di Mo Jiu, and yet Jun Qianyan was still alive.


    At first, she was still a little afraid that Jun Qiyan would get up and kill her, but after a long time, she still hadn''t seen him do anything, so she couldn''t help but become more daring.


    "You ¡­ Can''t you move? " Jun Laige tentatively approached Jun Qiyan.

 C334

    "Lord Nine was injured to save you?" At this time, Jun Laige shifted his gaze towards the unconscious Di Mo Jiu. His pupils immediately shrunk when he saw Di Mo Jiu''s appearance.


    Jun Qiyan didn''t say anything as he cautiously stared at Jun Yunge.


    "Heh, no matter what I say, you''re a jinx. Look at how much you''ve done to Ninth Master now." Jun Yunge immediately stepped forward to help Di Mo Jiu up. Then, he took out a pill from his bosom and stuffed it into Di Mo Jiu''s mouth.


    As the medicinal pill dissolved in his mouth, Di Mo Jiu''s complexion became slightly better. Jun Qianyan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. No matter who it was, as long as they could save Di Mo Jiu, she would accept it.


    Jun Yunge hugged Di Mo Jiu so that he could lie down on his back in a peaceful place. Then, he got up and stared at Jun Qianyan, who, apart from her pair of eyes, was completely immobile, like a fish waiting to be slaughtered on a wooden board.


    Jun Laige walked towards her step by step, a sharp dagger in his hand.


    Jun Qiyan''s eyes flashed, but she sneered inside her heart. She had never thought that she would fall into the hands of a woman like Jun Yunge, let alone die in such a helpless and tragic manner.


    "Jun Qiyan, all of your supporters have died, right? And now, no one is coming to save you. Hahaha, I didn''t expect that you would actually die in my hands!" Jun Yunge laughed maniacally as he wielded his dagger.


    She thought of how she had fallen at Jun Qiyan''s hands in the past. She thought of her pure and innocent heart of adoration towards Di Mo Jiu, how she had been trampled by him just like that. She thought of how Jun Qiyan had brought Di Mo Jiu to capture her while she was in such a sorry state.


    She had lived a life of darkness and darkness ever since Jun Qiyan''s appearance.


    She hated him? She definitely had to cut Jun Qiyan into a thousand pieces in order to resolve the hatred in her heart.


    "No one came to save me ¡­" But... Do you think you can kill me? " Jun Qiyan panted heavily. Her contemptuous eyes showed her unremitting love for Jun Yunge.


    "Hmph, you still dare to be stubborn even in the face of death." Jun Yunge sneered. He felt that Jun Qiyan was struggling to end her life. So, he took his dagger and squatted beside her. "Shua!" He stabbed it into her arm, and blood began to gush out of her mouth.


    "Haha, I won''t let you die so quickly. You slut, you should be hacked into pieces." Jun Laige''s eyes grew even more crazed. She took out a dagger and stabbed at his scarred body, but it wasn''t a fatal blow.


    "Ugh!" Jun Yunrue gave a muffled grunt as she clenched her teeth to prevent herself from making any painful sounds. In front of Jun Yunge, the more she suffered, the happier she felt.


    Even if she were to die, she wouldn''t let Jun Yunge have a good time!


    "Is that all you can do to vent your anger? Hehe, that''s right ¡­ A slut who can go along with any man. " Jun Qiyan gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words of ridicule. He directly poked the self-abased feeling in Jun Yunge''s heart.


    Even though this world was an open world where the strong were respected, and where strong female cultivators sat beside strong men, that was because they had the ability to do so. She, Jun Yunge, simply relied on the strong so that she could become a laughingstock in others'' eyes.


    The culprit who made her the laughingstock, despite being riddled with holes and on his last breath, was still able to uncover her scars.


    "Ah, slut." Jun Yunge raised his dagger and aimed it at Jun Qiyan''s heart; his eyes were filled with hatred towards her.


    "Swish ~ ~" Jun Laige''s eyes were bloodshot. He fiercely stabbed the dagger into the ground, and quickly pulled it out and inserted it again. He seemed to have lost his mind after repeatedly stabbing the dagger into the ground.


    Jun Qiyan''s pupils constricted as she looked at the dagger pointed at her own heart. This knife would definitely kill her ¡­


    Just as she was feeling desperate, a black shadow rushed towards her.


    Jun Yunge''s dagger had stabbed into a person, but this person wasn''t Jun Qiyan. It was Gu Yao.


    The frustrated Jun Laige obviously didn''t see who he was killing. He was still brandishing the dagger as the flesh on his back rose up, dripping with fresh blood. His vital body parts had been pierced through, and blood was flowing out of the corner of his mouth, dripping onto Jun Qiyan''s face.


    "You ¡­" Jun Qiyan''s pupils constricted as he found it hard to believe that the person on him was Gu Yao.


    Didn''t he betray her and still want to kill her? He had clearly caused Ye Changsheng''s death ¡­


    "Hur hur." Gu Yao had an ugly smile on his face as he took the damage done to his back. He then fished out a blood-stained pill and stuffed it into Jun Qiyan''s mouth.


    "This is the medicinal pill that you gave me in case of an unexpected need to repair my injuries. I''ll return it to you now ¡­" "Cough, I ¡­" Gu Yao stuttered as he spat out a mouthful of blood.


    Jun Qiyan''s mouth was filled with medicinal pills, but there was no medicinal fragrance coming from them. Instead, a thick smell of blood filled her nose and throat. The medicinal pills were nourishing her entire body.


    Her nose suddenly felt sore and her eyes filled with tears.


    "I... "No, I don''t owe you anything." As Gu Yao spoke, the light in his eyes gradually faded.


    "Gu Yao, what are you doing? Do you think I''ll forgive you just because of this?" Jun Qianyan angrily roared, infuriated by Gu Yao''s actions. Why did he die for her, why ¡­


    "Un, I know!" Gu Yao, whose consciousness was gradually fading away, was jolted awake by Jun Qianyan''s voice. The sound of mosquitoes biting on his flesh echoed in Jun Qianyan''s ears, and then Gu Yao''s hand weakly fell to the ground, his ice-cold finger stained with blood as it streaked across Jun Qianyan''s face.


    "Gu ¡­" "Demon ¡­" Jun Qiyan''s voice trembled. How could this be ¡­ How could this be ¡­


    Ye Changsheng had died for her, and even Gu Yao who had betrayed her had died?


    She didn''t need it. Jun Qiyan didn''t need to pay such a price!


    The once best five-man team was now either dead or injured.


    In the end, tears still flowed down his face. Jun Qiyan''s best friend had once said that they would always be together, advancing and retreating together, and having fun together with a group of five.


    She still couldn''t understand why Gu Yao would betray her.


    She knew about Gu Yao''s character, otherwise she wouldn''t have let him manage White City. But now ¡­


    Gu Yao had betrayed and killed Ye Changsheng, and had broken off from them. Now, he had died in order to protect her ¡­


    She believed that Gu Yao had his difficulties, but killing Ye Changsheng was also a fact. She could not accept Gu Yao, but she could not kill him.


    Everything happened in such a hurry that Jun Qiyan didn''t even have the time to react.


    This person, whom she hadn''t even thought about what to do, had died in front of her.


    In one day, she had two of their closest people die in her arms.


    "Jun Qiyan, why aren''t you dead yet!" A sharp voice interrupted Jun Qiyan''s sorrowful thoughts.


    Jun Yunge stood up and looked at her with a pair of sinister and red eyes.

 C335

    Jun Qiyan slowly raised her gaze; it was as silent as death. Her gaze fell upon Jun Yunge''s body, and burned him like a burning flame.


    "Bitch ¡­" There are people who would die for you. " A sense of panic suddenly rose in Jun Yunge''s heart. However, he still mustered his courage and cursed Jun Qianyan for being unable to move because of Gu Yao''s corpse.


    Jun Qiyan''s eyes were still as cold and burning as ever as she stared unblinkingly at the swearing Jun Yunge. Jun Yunge didn''t know that her entire body was covered in the blood of Gu Yao, and that the redness of her eyes was all over her body.


    "Since you''re not dead, I''ll kill you again!" Jun Yunge revealed a malevolent smile, and blood started trickling down his face.


    She lifted her bloodstained dagger and rushed forward again. The bloodstains on the dagger stung Jun Qiyan''s eyes.


    Jun Qiyan''s face darkened as she suddenly sat up, collecting the dead Gu Demoness into her Nuwa Stone.


    At the same time, Jun Yunge, who had been rushing forward, didn''t expect that Jun Qianyan would still be able to sit up. He was shocked to the point where he couldn''t stop his movements, and rushed towards Jun Qianyan.


    "Bang ~ ~" Jun Qianyan raised his foot and kicked Jun Laige in the stomach. Jun Laige was sent flying in the air, leaving an arc in the air and crashing to the ground.


    "You, why are you ¡­" Jun Yunge spat out a mouthful of blood, his face filled with shock.


    Jun Qiyan was indeed unable to move. The medicinal pill he had given her earlier was the White Bone Growing Muscle. It rapidly healed most of the wounds on her body. However, it was clear that Jun Qiyan was severely injured.


    Moreover, the rapid recovery of the pellet would definitely have side effects. That was that the recovery would only be for a short period of time. The body''s potential would be stimulated for a short period of time, and afterwards, the injuries would be even worse.


    At this time, Jun Qiyan was actually at the end of her tether, but even so, she was still more than enough to take care of Jun Yunge.


    Jun Wu Yi''s face was still as cold as ever as he slowly walked step by step towards Jun Laige, as if he was a demon from hell that had come to take his life.


    "Have you ever heard a sentence?" His voice was a little hoarse, but it was even stranger.


    "Wh ¡­" "What?" Jun Laige retreated step by step while enduring the pain. The ferocious smile on his face had been replaced by fear and trepidation.


    "The villain died from talking too much." Jun Yunrue felt a heavy blow on her heart. She had actually managed to kill Jun Qianyan earlier, but she hadn''t. She wanted to find a way to torture her.


    "You ¡­ "Don''t come over." Jun Yunge''s throat tightened as he looked around, trying to find a way out of this predicament.


    Suddenly, her gaze fell upon the unconscious Di Mo Jiu.


    "If you come again, I''ll kill him." Jun Yunrue suddenly rushed forward and arrived right beside Di Mo Jiu. She raised the dagger and pressed the tip of the dagger against Di Mo Jiu''s throat.


    "How dare you!" Jun Qiyan''s heart contracted as his eyes narrowed, exuding a dangerous aura.


    "If you dare to even touch him, I''ll immediately grind your bones to dust!" There was an oppressive fear in her voice that she could not even imagine.


    "Hmph, you''d better not come over. Right now, Ninth Master won''t be able to take any more damage." Seeing that it was of use to Jun Qiyan, Jun Yunge suppressed the fear in his heart and helped the unconscious Di Mo Jiu up. She wanted to use him to escape from Jun Qianyan.


    Jun Qiyan gritted her teeth as her legs began to tremble. Di Mo Jiu was still in her hands, so she didn''t dare to act rashly. She could only drag her feet as she followed Jun Yunge closely.


    "Jun Qiyan, I''ll say it again, don''t come over here!" Once again, Jun Yunrue lost control of her emotions. She wielded the dagger in her hand in a flurry, and it almost collided with Di Mo Jiu''s blade.


    Jun Qiyan was once again on tenterhooks. Two people had already died beside her. She would definitely not allow anything to go wrong with Di Mo Jiu.


    She just stood there, watching Jun Laige support Di Mo Jiu forward with great difficulty. She knew what he was thinking. If she tried to force him into a corner, he might just die, but without her, he would certainly take good care of Di Mo Jiu.


    Earlier, she felt that Di Mo Jiu''s aura was getting stronger and stronger. He should wake up soon, and when he recovers, he will naturally come back to find her.


    Thinking of this, a satisfied smile appeared on Jun Qianyan''s face, but more and more blood gushed out from the corner of her mouth. Her organs were churning, as if she wanted to spit out all of the remaining blood in her body.


    The medicinal effect had passed. She was almost unable to hold on any longer ¡­


    "Qiyan!" The eyes of Jing Bai and Feng Chenlang, who could no longer endure, discovered that they were unable to leave the Nuwa Stone no matter what. When Jun Qiyan was about to attack the Lord, she had already sealed off the Nuwa Stone, afraid that they would come out and save her; she could no longer afford to let anyone leave.


    "Jun Qiyan ¡­" His vision turned black as he fell to the ground with a loud thud. It was as if Jun Qiyan had heard an ear-splitting sound of defeat as she desperately and fearfully called out her name.


    That''s right, she was the one that met lightning head-on. When Di Mo Jiu desperately hugged her, he had called out ¡­


    In the end, Jun Qiyan fell into a coma. The seal of the Nuwa Stone suddenly opened, and the pair of Ji Bai and Feng Chenlang appeared in front of Jun Qiyan.


    "Qiyan ~" Beijing''s Ji Bai''s voice trembled as his trembling hands covered Jun Qiyan''s bloodied face.


    Ye Chonglou''s life was in her arms, and they had all seen that feeling of despair. Then, Gu Yao died in her arms, and Di Mo Jiu was kidnapped in front of her eyes.


    Such continuous despair, how sad and desperate must Jun Qiyan''s heart be ¡­


    Ji Bai didn''t dare to imagine the pain Jun Qiyan was going through. When Gu Yao fell on Jun Qianyan and died, would that ''I don''t owe you'' cause she would regret it for the rest of her life ¡­


    Feng Chen sniffed with his nose and dried his tears. After he stuffed a healing pellet in his mouth, he carefully helped Jun Qiyan up. Right now, Jun Qiyan needed treatment, and only by returning to White City could she get the best treatment.


    At this time, there was almost no one left alive on this chaotic battlefield. Most of the people here were severely injured like Jun Qiyan, and couldn''t get up. They not only wanted to send Jun Qiyan back, but also wanted more people to take care of him.


    It was time to rest in this scarred land.


    When the capital''s capital returned to White City with Jun Qianyan in tow, the entire city had been struck by lightning. Most of the houses had collapsed, and some people had been forced to stay under the eaves.


    Jun Qiyan was covered in blood. His pale white arms were hanging down powerlessly, swaying along with the movement of the capital''s Ji Bai ¡­


    At a glance, they assumed that Ji Bai was carrying Jun Qianyan''s corpse.


    "Qiyan!" Jun Xuanfeng and Jun Mo Chen''s heartbeats skipped a few beats as they heard about the chaotic battle that had taken place in Mystic Cloud Mountain. Everyone was worried for Jun Yunyan.

 C336

    He had never let down his high and mighty heart, but now, he saw that Ji Bai was hugging Jun Qianyan in despair ¡­ Corpses.


    Everyone was stupefied. They couldn''t believe that the valiant Jun Qiyan was actually ¡­


    "You''re all thinking too much. I''m fine, but my injuries are too severe and I passed out. I need to hurry up and treat them." Seeing the looks in everyone''s eyes, Feng Chen Lang knew that they had misunderstood and hurriedly came out to explain.


    Everyone simultaneously heaved a sigh of relief, and rushed forward to catch the unconscious Jun Qiyan.


    The rest were taken to the battlefield by Feng Chen Lang. There were even more people who needed help there, and because the dragon race was huge, they were severely injured by lightning. The people who had followed them to attack the Sword Spirit Sect were all submerged in the ground.


    Jun Qiyan was quietly lying on her bed. Her face was haggard, and her curling eyelashes cast a faint shadow across her eyes. Her lips were dry and pale, while she was carefully wiping her lips with water.


    "How is Qiyan?" Ji Bai pushed the door and entered the room. He looked worriedly at Jun Qianyan who was lying on the bed. He had been unconscious for more than half a month, and Di Mo Jiu had not come back yet.


    They had examined Jun Qiyan''s condition before, and found that his dragon clan''s self-recovery constitution was unquestionably formidable. The wounds and internal injuries on his body were healing at a rapid pace.


    But she couldn''t wake up.


    "It''s still the same ~" Xiao Cai Cai sighed. Jun Feiyan''s body was soaked in spirit spring water every day, and she consumed the most beneficial recovery pill. However, she was still sleeping, and her complexion was even worse.


    After being injured and unconscious, her contract beast had also received a certain amount of backlash. Right now, the only one who could bounce out of it was the Taotie without a contract.


    A few days ago the Taotie was still guarding Jun Qiyan, feeling sad and remorseful, but after that she completely surrounded Nannan and became a wet nurse.


    "You''re tired too. Go down and rest. Leave this place to me." Jing Jibai stepped forward and took the handkerchief from his hands. Qinghua raised his head and looked at her for a moment, then nodded and walked out.


    Ji Bai sat beside Jun Qiyan, looking at her with a heavy gaze ¡­


    "I''ve heard the old man say before that if a person is completely fine and has no pain, yet continues to be unconscious, then she might be trying to escape. She doesn''t want to wake up." Ji Bai opened his mouth and spoke slowly as he observed the serene expression on Jun Qianyan''s face.


    "You don''t want to wake up? What are you trying to escape from? " The voice that was as clear as the wind was especially pleasant to hear.


    "You can''t accept the deaths of Longevity and Gu Yao!" He could understand Jun Qiyan''s feelings. In such an environment, his best friend would betray him, die, and then die again.


    She had her own principles towards her friends and would sacrifice her life for them. However, she could not accept that her friend would die for her, and it was still two times. Even someone as strong as Di Mo Jiu would die because of her.


    She was blaming herself!


    In truth, it had been Jun Qiyan who had been protecting them all this time, leading them through the thorns and thistles.


    He felt ashamed of himself and Feng Chen Lang.


    "Qiyan, do you know? Actually, I am especially envious of Changsheng and Gu Yao. They have all saved your life, and they have given their all in this battle in exchange for your safety. The corners of his mouth curled up into a bitter smile as he spoke.


    "They are brave. It is as Longevity said, they deserve to die!"


    "But as for us, we can only be protected by you behind us. We can only watch as you rush to your death and protect us first. We can only watch as you are covered in blood and can''t move or be harmed. We can only watch as that traitor Gu Yao protects you!"


    "Why? He can do such a great thing, but we can''t do anything for you?" His eyes were filled with tears as he looked at Jun Qiyan with a wry smile.


    "If you don''t want them to give up their lives for you, they wouldn''t want you to blame yourself. This is their choice, I also have this choice. It''s a pity that you didn''t give me the chance to show off, otherwise, you wouldn''t be lying here half dead right now." He suddenly laughed, but his tears and snot all stuck together.


    "The thing that I, Ji Bai, regret the most is that I have already placed my life into your Nuwa Stone. I can''t use my spirit to sacrifice my life for righteousness!"


    "So ¡­" "Stop trying to escape, or I''ll really die for you."


    Half a month later


    Jun Qiyan''s curling eyelashes trembled slightly as her eyes, which had been tightly shut for more than a month, finally opened.


    When the blinding sunlight fell on his pupils, it made him feel particularly uncomfortable. Jun Qiyan closed her eyes subconsciously, and only opened them again after a long time.


    This is White City! Has she come back?


    It was as if she was dreaming for a very long time. In her dreams, there would always be someone who would talk a lot to her, but when she heard it, she felt very sad ¡­


    "Qiyan, you''re finally awake!" Feng Chenlang, who was dozing off at the side, saw Jun Qianyan''s figure sitting up and excitedly jumped three feet into the air.


    Jun Qiyan frowned. Finally?


    "Have I been unconscious for a long time?" She rubbed her aching head and looked around in confusion.


    "You''ve been in a coma for a month already, and you almost scared us to death. That fellow, Jing Ji Bai, came to watch you cry when you were fine. You were finally woken up by his crying." After Feng Chenlang finished speaking, he seemed to have thought of something and turned around before running out.


    Jun Qiyan felt her temples throbbing. She had been unconscious for a month, and Jing and Ji Bai were still crying as they watched over her everyday?


    Is this for real?


    However, if she really lost consciousness for a month, what would happen outside?


    Thinking of this, Jun Qiyan quickly got up. She had to quickly check out the situation outside.


    Just as he put on his shoes and walked to the entrance, he bumped into a group of excited people, led by Jing Bai, Jun Mo Chen, Jun Xuanfeng, followed by Dazzling Light, Tao Tie, Zhu Wu, Fu Chen, Jun Zhentian, and the rest of the people from White City. Feng Chen Lang was left far behind.


    Jun Qiyan frowned slightly but didn''t say anything.


    "Qiyan, you''ve finally woken up. You''ve truly scared grandfather to death." Jun Xuanfeng stepped forward to observe Jun Qiyan from the left and right; he was afraid that she might have something wrong with his.


    "Grandfather, Big Brother, I''m fine, I made you guys worry." Jun Qiyan smiled sweetly, reassuring Jun Xuanfeng and Jun Mo Chen.


    "Qiyan, Qiyan ¡­" Seven Stains... "City Lord." Greeting sounded out one after another. Everyone looked at her as if they were looking at a treasure. Suddenly, she felt a headache coming on.


    "Alright, alright, I''m fine now. I''ve already looked at them. You don''t need to all stay here. Do what you need to do." After Jun Qiyan had sent out the order to leave, the crowd dispersed in twos and threes, seeing that she was brimming with energy and moving freely.


    Only Jing and Ji Bai, Feng Chenlang, and the other three remained.


    Jun Qianyan looked at the people in front of him seriously, "How is the situation in the Eastern Xuan Continent now?" She''s been out for a month, and she must have changed a lot.


    "The disabled members of the Great War have been cured. All the countries are working together to rebuild the continent. There is a unity that is rarely seen in a hundred years." Jing Jibai suppressed the excitement in his heart and slowly reported on the recent situation.

 C337

    "The dragon clan had waited for you for half a month after they recovered. Afterwards, they couldn''t wait any longer so they took their leave and went back to the dragon palace. They wanted us to know that you had given them news when you woke up." The crisp and familiar voice seemed to go back to the days when he was in the academy.


    Jun Qiyan nodded, motioning for Ji Bai to continue.


    "The Sword Spirit Sect has imprisoned all the survivors. You have to decide what to do with them."


    "Give it to the emperors of the various countries for them to decide." Jun Qiyan had decided the fate of several people with a wave of her hand. She would never show mercy to those from the Sword Spirit Sect.


    Now was the time for the various monarchs to display great tolerance and love for their people like their children. The people of the Sword Spirit Sect would first let the monarch establish his might, and secondly, they would cause the people to become more excited and united.


    Jin Jibai agreed with this approach.


    "That''s right, Qi Yun, in order to commemorate your heroic actions, the various royal families have constructed an enormous stone statue for you!" Feng Chenlang interrupted. He had seen that stone statue before and had vividly carved out Jun Qiyan''s loose and unrestrained female expert''s posture.


    The corners of Jun Qiyan''s mouth twitched. She was not interested in sculptures, but rather in her own sculptures.


    Jun Qiyan looked at the group of people before her and suddenly asked, "Where''s Ninth Master?"


    She remembered that it was Jun Yunrue who had taken Di Mo Jiu away.


    Everyone looked at each other and finally shook their heads.


    "I don''t know!" Di Mo Jiu had never appeared before.


    "After the war, the restoration work has been going on for a month. No one from the Ninth Master and Jun Laige... This means that the two of them are still alive. If the Ninth Master was stronger than you, he would have awakened long ago. " Zhu Wu spoke slowly.


    The thing they did most after they recovered was to find Di Mo Jiu and Jun Elegant. The entire continent had been reduced to a flat ground by the lightning rain, so finding the person wasn''t difficult. However, even after going through the entire continent, they still couldn''t find Di Mo Jiu.


    Jun Qiyan looked at the evasive expressions of Tao Wu and Tao Tie, and roughly guessed the situation in his heart.


    "Can''t find him?" Jun Qiyan still chose to ask probing questions, while Tao Tie and Tao Wu nodded in disappointment.


    "When we participated in the Great War of Gods and Demons, we followed Ninth Master, so we were very sensitive to his aura. Even after searching the entire Eastern Xuan Continent, we couldn''t find any trace of him, as if he suddenly disappeared from this world." It wasn''t that they didn''t want to search, it was that there were no traces at all.


    "When he wakes up, he''ll definitely come back to find me. If he can''t find me, then he won''t. Let''s wait for him to appear." Jun Qiyan took a deep breath, and revealed a relaxed and carefree smile.


    She understood Di Mo Jiu''s intention, but she didn''t believe that a mere Jun Yunrue would be able to stop him. He must have been delayed because he might have been in a coma like her. After all, the attack he had blocked for her was too heavy.


    They were all witnesses of the matter between Di Mo Jiu and Jun Qianyan, so they knew about their feelings for each other. If Di Mo Jiu really woke up, he would definitely come back to Jun Qiyan, just like how Jun Qiyan would wait for Di Mo Jiu.


    The following days were a bit ordinary. Jun Qiyan spent every day in the Mayor''s mansion either patrolling the reconstruction of the White City or teasing Nannan in her room. Nannan had grown up a bit and had started to crawl, so she covered the entire room with a warm carpet for Nannan to play with.


    Nannan''s attempt to crawl was hilarious as she did not have four limbs so she used her soft dragon tail to rub against the ground while her small hands flailed in front of her. It did not seem like she was crawling on the ground but swimming in the water.


    Aiyo, why is it that this beautiful lady dragon looks more and more like a mermaid now? The mermaid is swimming in the water, the mermaid dragon should be flying in the sky.


    On a whim, Jun Qiyan threw Nannan''s small body high into the sky.


    "Oh my god!" When the Taotie who just opened the door saw this heaven angering scene, she hurriedly moved in a flash to catch the falling Nannan.


    "Cluck, cluck, cluck ¡­" Nannan fell into the Taotie''s warm embrace and stared blankly for a while before bursting out with violent laughter. She even waved her small hand and excitedly looked at the Taotie.


    "Look, doesn''t she like it?" Jun Qiyan spread out her hands and looked at the little person who was laughing happily.


    The Taotie, this father, turned his head around and glared fiercely at Jun Qiyan, and then gently threw Nannan into the air. When he reached out his hand to catch her, Nannan once again let out a giggle as she was very unhappy.


    Jun Qiyan curled his lips. When faced with a Taotie whose self-esteem was so overflowing, he could not say a word.


    Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, but there was still no news from Di Mo Jiu. There was still no sign of Di Mo Jiu''s Jun Qiyan waiting for the arrival of the Dragon clan.


    Xiao Jin was clad in a golden dragon robe, his entire body was stately and dignified. He had personally come today to see whether Jun Qiyan was sending a message or not.


    "I heard you''re still waiting for Di Mo Jiu?" Xiao Jin Long''s ice-cold voice didn''t fluctuate at all, but Jun Qianyan still felt extremely uncomfortable when she heard it.


    "What do you mean still waiting?" She tightly knitted her brows as she stared at the little golden dragon. She didn''t understand why the little gold dragon would suddenly visit her.


    "If I told you that Di Mo Jiu had appeared in the Dragon clan, would you believe me?" The little gold dragon''s handsome eyebrows raised slightly, but there was a trace of contempt in his words.


    Jun Qianyan''s originally carefree expression suddenly turned serious. She stood up and walked in front of Xiao Jin Long, her eyes suppressing his gaze as she tried to distinguish the authenticity of his words.


    "Letter, bring me there." After he finished speaking, Jun Qiyan intended to set off, but was caught by Xiao Jin Long.


    "He did appear, but he has already left?" Little Gold''s words revealed some ridicule, injustice, and resentment.


    Jun Qiyan was puzzled. "Where did he go?" she asked quickly.


    "Nuo ~" Xiao Jin Long pointed upwards, then continued, "Our Dragon race has a hidden passage that leads to the upper plane. This is the spatial turbulence passage that the Dragon God Ascending left behind, and is also the only path that can be used to ascend to the Eastern Xuan Continent."


    "The day before yesterday, Di Mo Jiu brought an enchanting woman with him." Every word that the little gold dragon said was like a huge hammer that struck Jun Qiyan''s heart. Time after time, it caused her to feel angina pectoris.


    "Impossible!" Feng Chenlang rushed over and glared angrily at Xiao Jin Long. He knew how much Di Mo Jiu loved Jun Qiyan, so how could he abandon Jun Qiyan and bring the other women up there?


    "Don''t spout nonsense, it''s impossible for Ninth Master to bring other women."


    "Is that so?" The corners of Xiao Jin Long''s mouth curled into a smile as he indifferently shrugged his shoulders and said in a cold tone, "That woman also appeared in the Mystic Cloud Battle. You two should know her."


    "Forget it, it''s fine if you don''t believe me. I''m just here to deliver a piece of news." When Xiao Jin Long saw that the crowd still had expressions of disbelief, he did not want to say anything more. He had already delivered the news that he should have. The right and wrong were already decided by themselves.

 C338

    Jun Qiyan, who had been standing blankly at the side, pursed her lips. While everyone was arguing incessantly, she asked, "Did he say anything?"


    In truth, she didn''t believe that even she herself would abandon Di Mo Jiu and leave. She could believe that Di Mo Jiu had already gone to the Upper Plane, but she felt that something must have happened, so she asked Xiao Jin Long if he had left any message.


    Seeing that Jun Qiyan''s attitude was somewhat strange, the little gold dragon''s gaze became somewhat at a loss. He paused for a moment before speaking.


    "No, he doesn''t seem to remember me." Di Mo Jiu suddenly appeared in the Dragon Clan and told him, the current Dragon King, to bring him to the passageway. Di Mo Jiu could also be considered as his benefactor, he initially thought that Jun Caiyun had also come and would bring her there without saying a word.


    It could be said that Xiao Jin Long stuck his hot face to a cold butt, then he put the person down and left.


    After he returned to the palace, he thought that Jun Qiyan must still be looking for Di Mo Jiu to pass on the news.


    "Don''t know him?" Jun Qiyan caught on to the main point of his words. Di Mo Jiu had gone to the Dragon Palace together and participated in the Profound Cloud War together, so how could he not recognize Xiao Jin Long?


    "Yeah." Xiao Jin Long nodded his head. He was also very perplexed.


    Since Di Mo Jiu had already left, regardless of the reason, everything had already happened, so there was no point for her to stay here any longer. Since that was the case, why not take the opportunity to go up as soon as possible?


    "Then you''ll have to trouble yourself again. I also want to go to the Upper Realm." Jun Qiyan swept a glance at the gloomy expression on his face as he walked forward with a smile, a brilliant light flowing through his eyes.


    Xiao Jin Long was slightly surprised. Jun Qiyan wanted to go up as well? However, when she thought about it, since Di Mo Jiu had already gone up, she would definitely keep up.


    Moreover, with your ability and revenge, as well as her heaven defying identity and talent, how can a mere lower realm like yours be able to hinder her progress?


    Thinking of this, the little gold dragon no longer hesitated and nodded with a smile.


    The rest of them had not expected that their previous discussion about Di Mo Jiu and his woman would suddenly turn into a discussion about going to the upper echelons. Immediately, they were unable to react in time.


    "Hey hey hey, what''s going on? Qiyan, are you going to the Upper Plane now?" Feng Chen Lang jumped out. Things were progressing too fast.


    "En, I''m prepared to hand the White City over to grandpa and big brother. As for you two ¡­" Jun Qiyan raised her eyebrows slightly as she looked at the person in front of her with a thoughtful expression.


    "Ai, I want to go with you to the Upper Plane ¡­" Feng Chenlang raised his hand to signal that he wanted to go with Jun Qianyan.


    "Me too." Jun Ji Bai also raised his hand to express his position. Since they had gone to all the places in the Eastern Xuan Continent and their cultivation base couldn''t improve anymore, it would be better for them to go to the Upper Plane to train and seek more opportunities.


    "This sovereign will reluctantly escort you up!" Tao Tie raised his chin and looked at Jun Qiyan arrogantly, as if she was taking advantage of him.


    As for Zhu Wu and the Occult Snake, they were Jun Qiyan''s contracted beasts to begin with, so they naturally had to follow her.


    Just like that, the group happily decided to go to the upper echelons. They excitedly discussed, as if they were going on a trip.


    Xiao Jin Long helplessly held his forehead. Did they know how difficult it was to go to the upper echelons?


    "Everyone, do you know the situation in the upper echelons? Do you know how dangerous that passage is? " The little gold dragon ruthlessly interrupted this group of excited people?


    "Isn''t that the road that leads to the clouds?" Feng Chen Lang looked at Little Gold with a silly smile, and a bright and beautiful smile appeared on his face.


    "Of course not." The little gold dragon glared at him and was worried for this group of fellows that lacked tendons.


    "During the Profound Cloud War, our plane was actually sealed, so we can''t use the normal way to fly up. It can be said that the only way for the dragon race to reach the upper level isn''t through the only way, but rather the only way to possibly reach the upper level." Xiao Jin Long slowly narrated. He had only recently found out about the so-called ''passage'' from searching through history.


    For some reason it has not been healed for thousands of years, leaving only a small gap in the dragon race. If you casually step into it, not only will you be unable to go to the upper regions, you will also be torn to pieces by the spatial turbulence.


    "Do you still think it''s easy?" This crevice was the intersection point between the lower and upper planes. It was infinitely close, but it didn''t coincide at all. The two planes were too close, and the gravitational pull had created this gap that had existed for thousands of years.


    Everyone''s throats tightened. The dragon race had the strongest defense out of all the races, yet they were still easily torn into pieces. No wonder no one had ever been to the upper echelons of the Profound East Continent in all these years.


    "If you want to go, I advise you to be mentally prepared." Xiao Jin Long''s last sentence was filled with regret, as if he was worried about their future.


    "It doesn''t matter. Opportunity and danger coexist, right?" Jun Qiyan thought about it for a moment and then laughed. She believed in herself, and she had to go to the throne.


    After Jun Qianyan made his decision, he arranged for Baicheng to be handed over to Jun Xuanfeng and Jun Mo Chen. When Jun Mo Chen heard that Jun Qianyan wanted to go to the Upper Plane, he suggested that he go as well.


    What she could not decide on was Nannan''s physique. No matter if it was a human or a dragon, they could not easily accommodate her so she was considering whether she should bring her along or stay in White City.


    If he took her away, her life would be fraught with danger. Jun Qiyan didn''t know what the upper echelons of the world were like, but that day, her lord had been so roguish that she had no way to resist him ¡­


    One could imagine that experts were as common as clouds in the Upper Plane. Jun Qianyan was not a woman who lived a peaceful life, and her future was filled with danger. She could not guarantee that she would be able to protect Nannan.


    In the end, Jun Qiyan still brought Nannan along as he was the only one to vouch for Nannan and let her protect Nannan.


    The group majestically headed towards the Dragon Palace. They sat together in express delivery mode and instantly arrived at the Dragon clan''s territory while Xiao Jin hung up and hung up.


    The dragon clan''s passageway was very hidden. Ten thousand meters above the Dragon Palace, there was a human-sized crevice in the originally peaceful blue sky and white clouds. Strands of lightning flowed around the edge of the crevice, and the lightning flashed with a dangerous aura.


    At first glance, it was dark to the point where one couldn''t even see one''s own hand in front of him. The movement of the stars could be vaguely seen, but it was gone in a flash. What was left was an endless darkness ¡­

 C339

    That darkness was like a dormant fierce beast, but it was also like a bottomless abyss. It emitted a fatal danger, causing people to feel fear in their hearts.


    Jun Shengxiao and the others stood high up in the sky and looked at the crack in front of them that was about to tear someone to shreds.


    "This, this ¡­" Feng Chenlang stammered as he stared dumbfoundedly at the crack in front of him that was still flickering with a dangerous electrical light.


    The air outside the fissure was distorted and distorted as if it was being torn apart.


    "Are we really going in? Will it be torn to shreds immediately! " When he heard Xiao Jin Kong Long''s description, he did not feel that it was terrifying. But now that it was right in front of him, how could he dare to jump down!


    "Otherwise, are you afraid? Why don''t you go back? " Jun Qianyan slightly raised an eyebrow as he mocked Feng Chenlang.


    Feng Chen swallowed his saliva. He immediately turned silent when he heard Ye Zichen''s order to go back.


    "Then, then I''ll just jump." Feng Chen Lang gritted his teeth. It was impossible for him to go back!


    "If we jump in from here, if we''re lucky we can reach the upper plane. If we''re unlucky we''ll encounter spatial turbulence, maybe we can survive, maybe we''ll be torn to pieces immediately." Xiao Jin Long stood to the side and reminded them in a friendly manner.


    "Also, since this is the boundary between two planes, there might be some broken dimensions here. When the time comes, you shouldn''t get involved." The little gold dragon''s eyes shined brightly as his gaze became a bit deep and serene.


    "What is the Broken Space?" Jun Qiyan hurriedly asked as he once again heard a new noun.


    "To put it simply, in a war, a Supreme Elder could cut through the void and fall from a plane into a separate dimension in the darkness. However, this dimension is extremely fragile. One touch and it will fall apart."


    In truth, Xiao Jin Long was following the book and preaching. After all, he had never entered this place before, and he had never gone to the upper plane either. All of this knowledge was based on the records in the book.


    The dragons are a studious race, with thousands of years of history.


    Jun Qiyan nodded in understanding.


    Then, Jun Qiyan turned around and solemnly looked at the crowd behind her. "I think it''s best if you enter the space. It''s too dangerous inside; it''s inconvenient to have too many people inside."


    Everyone obeyed and entered the Nuwa Stone one by one. There were only Jun Qiyan and little gold dragon standing outside the crevice.


    "Thank you so much for all this time." Jun Qianyan sincerely thanked Xiao Jin Long. Firstly, he thanked him for becoming her ally and participating in the Profound Cloud War.


    The second was to thank him for leading them to the dragon race''s passageway.


    When the little gold dragon heard Jun Qiyan''s thanks, his face slightly sank and became somewhat unhappy.


    "You can be considered a member of my Dragon clan. You''re just helping your own people." He resisted the urge to show his face to Jun Qianyan, disagreeing with her unfamiliar attitude.


    "Alright, I understand." When Jun Qiyan saw Xiao Jin Long''s reaction, she felt a warm feeling in her heart. A teasing smile hung on her face. In reality, she was just a cold-faced and warm-hearted kid in a small business.


    "Let''s go. Come up and take a look when you have time." After Jun Qiyan finished speaking, he lifted his foot and stepped into the extremely black void of the crevice.


    "I will ¡­" A voice seemed to come from behind, Jun Qiyan could no longer hear it clearly.


    The instant she stepped into the void, the crack behind her suddenly disappeared. It was as if she had entered space. Her body floated in the air, entering a state of weightlessness.


    Surrounding her were the occasional flashes and flashes of starlight before suddenly vanishing. The entire world was so quiet that it was as though she was the only one remaining. A patch of darkness began to attack her, drowning her figure within.


    It was pitch black with countless small stars floating in the air. It was as if the mist had condensed into a solid entity, making it impossible to see one''s fingers in front of one''s eyes.


    Jun Qiyan looked around, and it seemed as if only the darkness above her head was slightly lighter. She began to circulate her spirit energy, and her body was as light as a feather. She only needed a bit of energy to fly a few meters away.


    It was unknown how much time had passed, but the surroundings were still pitch-black. Occasionally, there would be a whirlpool or whirlpool that emitted a faint glow, as if it were a whirlpool of people.


    This type of whirlpool could be big or small, far or near, and its speed could be fast or slow.


    Jun Qiyan guessed that this was the broken space that Xiao Jin Long had mentioned. As long as they touched it, they would be sucked into it.


    As time passed, more and more broken space appeared in front of them. Jun Qiyan slowed down her pace, and focused all of her energy on avoiding the broken space.


    The parade would then slow down, but there would be light at the top, indicating that it was the exit, and not far from her.


    Jun Qianyan was somewhat excited as she began to slowly increase her speed. Her lithe figure swam about in the darkness like a noble mermaid.


    "Bang ~ ~" Suddenly there was a violent vibration that shook the entire space three times over. Jun Qiyan''s light body was hit by the violent impact, and she couldn''t help but fall backwards.


    Behind him was a huge whirlpool, the center of which glowed with a red light.


    Jun Qiyan''s expression was so dark that it seemed as if water would fall at any moment now. What was that violent vibration just now? Chaotic space?


    Without waiting for her to think, she was already surrounded by the whirlpool. She didn''t even have the chance to struggle before being sucked in by the whirlpool.


    "Hiss!" His body felt as if it was being torn apart, and he felt an intense pain. His vision turned black.


    Jun Qiyan hurriedly bit down on her lower lip as blood flowed out from it, stimulating her brain and making her a bit more clear-headed.


    Once again, she lost her dignity in the darkness.


    In front of her was a huge field of Shura, the land was dyed red with blood, and the ground was dyed red. As far as the eye could see, corpses and wreckage littered the ground, there were human, Yao, beast, dragon, and other races that she did not know about.


    The sky was blood-red, and it emitted a faint red light that was the color of blood.


    The entire space seemed a bit hazy, and waves of infernal energy were emitted from the ground. The air seemed to solidify, and the air pressure was extremely low. It was so heavy that it caused one to be unable to breathe.


    Jun Qiyan''s throat tightened as she pressed her hand against her heart. Standing on this piece of land, she felt suffocated, unable to breathe.


    The piles of corpses caused her to feel extreme sorrow. It was a battle between Heaven and Earth, and the people on the ground were people who died in battle.


    Where was this place? Why are there so many bodies? Just what kind of battlefield was this? Many of these corpses had already been decayed, but the infernal energy was already thick and old.


    This dark infernal energy filled the entire space, invading the soul. If they stayed here for too long, they would feel their blood boiling and rage raging.


    Jun Qiyan only stood there for a short while before he started to feel uncomfortable. The peaceful blood in his body seemed to be boiling over as he roared and tried to rush out of his body.


    What she didn''t know was that at this moment, her eyes were flashing with red light, like a bloodthirsty demon.


    "Whoosh!" The dark-red dagger that she had put away suddenly trembled violently. It flew out on its own with a ''whoosh'' and headed towards the center of the arena.

 C340

    Jun Qiyan''s eyes flashed, and immediately chased after the dagger. This was the dagger that Gu Yao had used to kill Ye Changsheng back then, a very evil dagger that could absorb human spirit energy and blood. After the Profound Cloud War, it had always been on her body.


    She felt that this dagger was quite useful and had even used it to kill the black-clothed man, but she had not known where this dagger had come from.


    Jun Qiyan sped up as she circulated her spirit energy. Only now did she realize that this space was not only filled with thick killing intent, there was also abundant spirit energy, more than any other place on the Eastern Xuan Continent.


    It was as if the dagger was once again guiding Jun Qiyan through the air.


    Finally, the dagger stopped as it fell onto the ground. In front of him was a long sword that was stained with dried blood, and had a dark red rust on it, the sword stabbed straight into the bottom, the sword hilt was extremely exquisite, and there were even a few gems hanging from the hilt.


    Jun Qiyan paused for a moment as he picked up the dagger with a puzzled look on his face. It was still dark red in color.


    After that, she took a deep look at the longsword. She felt that the rusted longsword had a faint, ancient aura that was able to captivate a person''s soul.


    "Is this yours?" An ancient and solemn voice suddenly sounded from afar. This voice was long and distant, as if it came from the horizon, but also as if it came from right in front of their eyes, making them unable to make heads or tails of it.


    Jun Qiyan suddenly felt a bit panicked. This sound was too strange. She looked around and saw that the sky was still littered with corpses.


    "Who is it?" "Break the space!" Jun Qiyan yelled out in alarm. This should be the fragmented space that the little gold dragon was talking about.


    It had been countless years since this battlefield had occurred, and even the corpses on the ground had been disintegrated. There was no way anyone was present.


    "Little girl, can you do me a favor?" The ancient voice rang out once more, next to Jun Qiyan''s ears.


    This time, when Jun Qiyan heard the voice clearly, she hurriedly lowered her head to look at the longsword on the ground.


    It''s this sword...


    "You, who are you?" Jun Qiyan hurriedly took a few steps back as she stared fixedly at the sword.


    The fact that he could speak meant that he had given birth to a sword spirit that was the same as the artifact spirit from the Ancient Desolation.


    "No one has been here for tens of thousands of years. To think that I would be able to see a living person today. Little girl, I''m the Sky Sword." The long sword sighed but its voice was still faint as it answered Jun Qianyan''s question.


    Sky Sword!


    It was said that the Heaven Sword was born at the peak of the firmament and had the highest cultivation level in history. There were a hundred and eight refiners who used their flesh and blood to build the divine sword, all of whom died from exhaustion.


    It was one of the first weapons of the ancient god artifacts.


    According to legend, once the Sky Sword appeared, all the mountains and rivers would be shattered. All living things would submit to it, and it was the most brutal weapon that the people of the world competed for.


    However, these legends only existed in legends, and they were all ancient legends from ten thousand years ago.


    In the past million years, not a single person had seen the Heavenly Sword. They all thought that the story of this sword was fabricated by the person who received it.


    And now, this tattered and rusted piece in front of him was calling himself the Sky Sword?


    Jun Qiyan was suspicious. There were many weapons that could give birth to an artifact spirit. Therefore, when she saw this sword, she thought it was an extraordinary sword, but she had never thought of it as anything other than the Sky Sword.


    As she thought about it, Jun Qiyan''s expression turned mocking and disdainful. She could even accept that she was an ordinary divine sword, but how could she dare to believe that she was some kind of divine sword?


    "Little girl, you don''t believe me?" The voice of the Heavenly Sword contained a hint of anger. Ever since the birth of the Heavenly Sword, when had it ever been treated with such a gaze?


    "I don''t believe you." Jun Qiyan shook his head and said affirmatively.


    "This old man has been standing on this battlefield for a million years. His appearance has been eroded by the infernal energy, and there are some parts that you can''t see, but there''s nothing you can do about it. Pull me out and you''ll know." The tone of the Vault of Heavens Sword was somewhat low and dejected.


    Jun Qiyan pursed her lips, looking at the sword blade of the Vault of Heaven, which was covered in blood and rust, she was somewhat unable to move.


    "Girl, you''re only pulling out a bit of the sword, and it''s not bad for you. Besides, if you don''t pull me out, you can only accompany me on this battlefield and never leave again." The sword''s voice grew louder.


    He wasn''t exaggerating; this space was much more stable than the other broken spaces. There was only one way out, and that was to use brute force to break through.


    Perhaps they could only continue to wait until this piece of space had drifted for tens of thousands of years before crashing into other shattered spaces, at which time Jun Qiyan would only be instantly killed by the space explosion.


    When Jun Qianyan heard the words of the Sky Sword, she raised her head to look at her surroundings. The sky was still as red as ever, and the ground was as red as blood.


    "Alright." Jun Qiyan nodded, and decided to draw her sword. She didn''t know what would happen after she pulled it out from the ground. He had no other choice but to believe in the Heaven Sword.


    "There is a baleful aura on the sword, you must be careful." When the Vault of Heaven Sword saw Jun Qiyan coming over to draw his sword, it hurriedly warned him. Jun Qiyan had already reached out her hand without a care in the world.


    "Buzz ¡­" "Swish." Jun Qiyan''s hand was instantly corroded by the baleful aura on the sword hilt. A ball of black fog surrounded her hand as if it had been splashed with sulfuric acid. The flesh on her hand emitted a sizzling sound as smoke rose into the air.


    The pain caused Jun Qiyan to immediately withdraw her hand.


    "Hey, why didn''t you say that earlier ¡­" Jun Qiyan frowned as she looked at the longsword. This baleful aura was too strong; her hands were about to be crippled.


    "Like I said, the infernal energy is corrosive and this is still good. You can use your own spiritual energy to wrap around your assistant." The Heavenly Sword reminded Jun Qiyan once again.


    Jun Qiyan curled her lips. Not only did she not manage to pull out her sword just now, her hand had nearly been crippled as well.


    A golden shield of spirit energy surrounded her hand. Once again, he placed his hand on the sword hilt, but it was still corroded by the infernal energy. A stabbing pain came from his hand, but it was much better than the pain he had felt just now.


    She resisted the pain and tried to use all the strength in her body.

 C341

    Jun Qiyan''s hand issued a creaking sound as blood flowed down from the hilt of his sword. It flowed along the lines on his sword before finally sinking into the ground.


    A burst of golden light shone from the bottom of the blade, it grew brighter and brighter, causing Jun Qiyan to hastily use her other hand to block her line of sight.


    "Whoosh ~ ~" The sound of a sword rang out, emitting a sharp sword hum. In Jun Qiyan''s hand was a huge sword that emitted a golden light that illuminated the entire space. The killing intent in the surroundings seemed to be cleansed by the sword energy, and surged backwards.


    Waves of Sword Qi rippled out in all directions.


    "You are of the dragon race!" The Sky Sword''s voice was filled with excitement and happiness.


    "How do you know?" Jun Qiyan raised an eyebrow and looked at the sword in her hand that was enveloped in golden light with a probing look in her eyes. It seemed as if she was reborn.


    The filth on the sword that was stained with bloodstains from the fiendish aura instantly dissipated. The damaged part of the sword had been repaired bit by bit, and the red light on the sword hilt emitted a faint golden brilliance. It revolved around Jun Qiyan''s hand, and the lines on the sword sucked in Jun Qiyan''s blood.


    "Naturally, the dragon race and I can be considered as indissoluble. In this world, only the dragon race and I have a contract that is the most compatible." The voice of the Sky Sword was filled with pride and an indiscernible sense of melancholy, as if it was recalling something.


    "You ¡­" As soon as the words of Sword of the Sky came out, Jun Qianyan opened her mouth in shock, and a look of horror appeared in her eyes.


    Suddenly, a faint image appeared in her mind. It was the image of the Sword of the Sky. Its entire body was a mix of white, its blade overflowing with colors, the tip of the sword sharp and threatening, exuding a powerful pressure.


    At the same time, he said, "Little girl, your power is too weak. How can it display my strength?" That distant and familiar voice echoed in his mind. Jun Feiyan lowered her head, and the sword in her hand had already returned to its original form. It no longer emanated a golden light, and it no longer had the alluring glow of light as it healed the entire body of a beautiful, white sword.


    This really was the Sky Sword, and it was even a coincidence that he made a contract with her.


    "You want to contract with me like this?" Jun Qiyan was at a loss what to do. It was not that she had never contracted a treasure before, but an existence like the Sky Sword was something she did not know about.


    You are of the dragon race. Although your bloodline is impure, it can be counted as a noble bloodline. However, your strength is too weak. However, there is no harm in it. I can help you quickly become a god." The words of the Sword of the Sky struck Jun Qiyan''s mind, word by word. She was at a loss as to what to say.


    "Eh? You still have Nuwa Stones? " The tone of this voice was slightly raised in surprise. Jun Qianyan took this opportunity to look at the Nuwa Stone in her hand. A red stone was emitting a faint light, and soon after, the rough stone began to shine with a translucent brilliance.


    This is...


    As soon as Jun Qianyan''s consciousness entered the space, everyone in the space opened their eyes wide as they saw the changes in front of them. A huge pond full of black lava suddenly appeared in the large open space in front of them.


    It was filled with all kinds of weapons, but they were all frozen. The black water inside looked like magma, but it was definitely zero degrees Celsius, and although the water was not frozen, the weapons on it were frozen, but they did not feel the slightest cold. The weapons that were frozen were all powerful weapons of high rank.


    Jun Qiyan was stunned. How could this happen ¡­


    "Congratulations mother for unlocking the artifact forging pool... Mother can start learning refining. " A nearby ball suddenly appeared, excitedly introducing the ball to Jun Qiyan.


    Refining Pool? Jun Qianyan was perplexed. There were very few high grade weapons in their plane of existence, and all the blacksmiths there were only half-step artificers. They even relied on the most primitive forging methods to refine their artifacts; they couldn''t even be considered artificers.


    With a single glance, one could tell that the weapons on the Refining Pool were not ordinary items.


    "Yes, it is different from an artificer using a pill furnace. Mother has an artificer to refine more conveniently, and she can even raise the grade of the weapon at will. The artificer pool is judged by mother''s strength, and she is now a seventh-grade artificer." The tone of the ball was one of obvious excitement and pride.


    Oh my god!


    She had never refined a weapon before, but now she had become a Grade Seven Weapons Craftsman because of her contract with the Vault of Heaven Sword Technique. This feeling was like a pie falling from the sky onto her head.


    "Oh? Little girl, you have quite a few treasures here." The voice of the Vault of Heaven Sword resounded once again, directly within the mind of Jun Feiyan; no one could hear it.


    "Girl, throw that dagger of yours in there and try it." The Vault of Heaven Sword reminded Jun Qiyan.


    Jun Qiyan gawked for a moment before taking out her dagger and tossing it into the basin of black water.


    With a "plop," the dagger turned into ice the moment it came into contact with the black water.


    Jun Qiyan was dumbfounded. Isn''t it possible to raise the level of a refining tool?


    "Where''s your fire!" The voice of the Sky Sword sounded flustered and exasperated. Why did it feel like he had contracted with an idiot?


    Only then did Jun Qiyan react. She swept up the Soul Devouring Flame, and wrapped it around the dagger. When the dagger met the Soul Devouring Flame, it instantly thawed, but because it was on the black water, it immediately froze.


    Jun Qiyan was a bit flustered. What exactly was this black water? How could it freeze so quickly? It immediately strengthened the output of the spirit energy and flame, and fiercely crashed into the black water.


    The fire and water blended and the two sides clashed. The dagger was in such a state. The dark red blade began to change and its shape gradually softened. However, the hilt was engraved with a strange mark.


    "That is the former master''s Spirit Formation Mark. You can use your Spirit power to erase it and then cast it into your own." The Sword of the Heavens was like an old sage who was still an encyclopedia. Whenever Jun Qianyan encountered something, she would immediately explain and come up with a solution.


    When Jun Qianyan heard this, he immediately and carefully released his spiritual power. Refiners required an extremely high level of mental power. When refining a weapon, one must be able to completely focus their mind and control the shape of the weapon with spiritual power.


    At this time, Jun Qiyan covered her spiritual power within the dagger, and rushed towards the imprint. She felt a dull pain in her head, and the imprint turned into ashes, dissipating. The softening of the dagger could then change its shape.


    Jun Qiyan began to control the shape of the dagger according to his thoughts. The dagger was pulled into a shape as long as a curved blade.


    Jun Qiyan began to sweat profusely as she panted heavily. Refining spirit energy was truly too taxing for her. In just this short period of time, she felt that her spirit energy was running out and that her head was aching.

 C342

    "Stop. It''s not appropriate to forge the first weapon for too long." The voice of the Vault of Heaven Sword resounded once more, looking at Jun Qiyan''s pale face with some worry.


    "Swish ~ ~" Jun Qiyan abruptly retracted her spiritual power. She couldn''t stop herself from taking two steps back as the dagger in front of her fell from the black water to the ground.


    Everyone''s expressions changed. The originally beautiful, dark red dagger in Jun Qiyan''s hand turned into a black, curved blade that exuded a faint light.


    "Congratulations, mother. You''ve successfully refined a Grade 9 weapon into a Grade 5 weapon." The excited sound of the ball resounded once again.


    "Pfft ~" Laughter erupted from the surroundings. What kind of godly technique was this? Could a refining tool really make a person drop in rank?


    "Aren''t I a grade seven weapons craftsman?" Jun Qiyan was also shocked beyond belief. She had made a good Vampiric Dagger into a scimitar, only to end up crippled at the sixth rank.


    "My mother is indeed a grade seven weapons craftsman due to the hard conditions and mental strength, but her refining skills are noob." The ball was explained to Jun Qiyan in all seriousness, and a sweet and adorable smile hung on his face.


    Jun Qiyan curled her lips. To put it bluntly, she was just too strong in this Refining Pool. She was just too weak.


    "No, I have to fix it." Jun Qiyan looked at the black scimitar lying on the ground. She was determined to save it, but she couldn''t let it be destroyed in her hands.


    She suddenly felt a surge of spirit energy filling her entire body, and after experiencing so much, she walked to the side of the refining pond and sat down properly. She closed her eyes, used spirit energy to put the curved blade into the black water, and then used the spirit energy to attach it to her spirit energy.


    "Hm." Jun Qiyan gave a muffled grunt, then released a scorching Soul Devouring Flame, which illuminated her pale face with a faint, eerie light.


    She used her spirit energy to wrap the Soul Devouring Flame and the black water to collide. The light from the collision enveloped the scimitar, and she then used her spirit energy to carefully control the scimitar until it was completely refined into a raw material.


    The spiritual power within Jun Qiyan''s mind and the spiritual energy in her body began to frantically revolve. The spiritual energy in her body began to swirl in the air, and she drew out almost all of the spiritual energy in her body to resist the cold water; she used all of her spiritual energy to control the curved blade.


    In her mind, she was thinking about what kind of weapon she should forge. This dagger had the ability to absorb other people''s spirit energy and blood. She felt that it should have a better effect and might be able to be used as a hidden weapon.


    Thinking up to this point, Jun Qiyan''s brows raised slightly, and a hint of a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth ¡­


    The black iron in the flame gradually transformed, expanded, stretched, and shrunk. After making the basic shape, it became the most important qualitative modification. This was a process that required a long and meticulous carving, requiring the refiner''s mental strength to be extremely high.


    At this time, Jun Qiyan''s face was slightly pale, and her forehead was covered in sweat. It was obvious that she had used too much strength, and her body could not handle it.


    However, at this time, the cold aura of the Black Water Serpent suddenly rose, the Soul Devouring Flame flickered, and a cold aura spread out along with the spirit energy. At this critical moment, Jun Qiyan couldn''t spare any energy to deal with the cold aura of the Black Water Serpent.


    The cold air suddenly came, and Jun Qiyan''s hair and eyelashes were covered in a thin layer of ice. Her right hand that was releasing the spirit energy had already turned into an ice sculpture.


    "Qiyan." Jun Mo Chen cried out in alarm from the side and was about to step forward to help, but Jun Feiyan''s body was frozen solid.


    "Mother is fine." This was the cute sound of a ball, stopping everyone''s actions.


    Gradually, it formed into a hurricane, and the spirit spring water within the Nuwa Stone started to suddenly surge, as if it had been summoned by something. In the end, it turned into threads of strong spirit energy and entered into Jun Feiyan''s body, the Dragon Pearl in Jun Qiyan''s body started to spin at a high speed, crazily absorbing the spirit energy from the outside, countless amounts of spirit energy were rushing and roaring.


    The place where Jun Qiyan was standing had already turned into a massive vortex of Lingqi, with her clothes and hair flying in the air, causing the whole space to shake a little. The crowd quickly retreated, and the imposing aura around her also began to rise bit by bit, with an unstoppable momentum.


    Black water calmed down, and the dagger forged by Jun Qiyan turned into an exquisite and slender hairpin. On the tip of the hairpin, there was a flower shaped like a phoenix, and the hairpin was bright red in color, like the color of blood. When the hairpin was opened, there would be countless bright red silver needles, and these silver needles had the same effect as the dagger from back then, which was to absorb spirit energy and blood.


    Jun Qiyan grabbed the hairpin and inserted it into her hair. At this time, the surrounding spiritual energy was still continuously rushing into her body, unable to stop no matter what. She felt as if her entire body was about to burst.


    Joy was written all over Jun Qiyan''s face as she waved her hand and left the Nuwa Stone Space.


    In fact, the blood-red sky outside was already filled with layers of dark clouds.


    This is... Tribulation Clouds...


    "Aiyo, little girl, your speed is so fast. You''ve reached the Nascent Soul stage already." As expected, the voice of the Sword of the Sky rang out, and Jun Qiyan looked at the sword that had suddenly appeared in her hand.


    Nascent Soul, was that the cultivation level of those men in black? Jun Qiyan suddenly thought of the Nascent Soul stage that Di Mo Jiu had mentioned.


    "Girl, the Nascent Soul Stage is a cultivator''s lightning tribulation. There are a total of nine lightning bolts. If you can''t withstand them, you can use the Heaven''s Sword to block one wave."


    Jun Qiyan regained her senses and sat cross-legged on the ground. The surrounding spiritual energy was constantly rushing into her meridians, pouring into the dragon pearl. At this moment, a few cracks could be vaguely seen on the surface of the dragon pearl.


    Her dragon pearl was the equivalent of a human''s aurous core, so how could it be broken so easily? She began to control the spirit energy to slow down, but the spirit energy didn''t listen to her orders at all as it fiercely rushed into the dragon pearl.


    "Ka ~" there was a cracking sound as an extreme pain came from his lower abdomen. Jun Qiyan was in so much pain that her brows were tightly knitted together. The spirit energy was still unceasingly assaulting her body.


    Ah!" Jun Qiyan gritted her teeth as she started to revolve the spiritual energy within the dragon pearl, clashing with the newly arrived spiritual energy. A surge of energy exploded inside her body.


    "Pu ~" Jun Qiyan couldn''t take it any longer and fell backwards, spitting out a mouthful of blood. The spirit energy within his body lost its direction, and continued to collide with each other.


    "Damn it." She weakly opened her mouth and sat down with her legs crossed again.

 C343

    This time, she wasn''t in a hurry to control the spiritual energy. She felt a little dizzy as the spiritual energy that kept rushing through her body made her blood boil.


    Jun Qiyan examined the chaotic spiritual energy and finally decided to go all out. If the dragon pearls were shattered, then she would at most cultivate again. Otherwise, she wouldn''t be able to control the spiritual energy right now and would only wait for her death.


    Thinking of this, she began to calm the violent spiritual energy, guiding them towards the dilapidated dragon race.


    ''Bang! '' Jun Qiyan''s head was about to burst into flower. The dragon pearl couldn''t bear the impact of this kind of spirit energy and finally broke into thousands of pieces, dissipating into specks of starlight.


    A heart-wrenching pain came over. Was this the pain of a shattered core? Jun Qiyan fell to the ground, blood gushing out from the corner of her mouth. The pain had stimulated her nerves.


    Her face was ashen. She had thought that her cultivation had advanced, but it had reverted back to its original form. She was afraid that her cultivation had been crippled.


    The surrounding spirit energy was still gushing into her body. Jun Qiyan suppressed the blood energy in her mouth; there was no more dragon pearl in her body, but the scattered spirit energy stayed in her dantian. The rest of the spirit energy washed away her meridians and converged together.


    With a sliver of hope in his heart, Jun Qianyan began to release all of the pores on his body to absorb the spirit energy. The spirit energy accumulated in Jun Qiyan''s dantian, and a blurry figure gradually appeared ¡­


    It was a mini version of Jun Qiyan. He sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, absorbing the spiritual energy in his body. This scene was very familiar to Jun Qiyan. The two black-clothed men who had self-destructed had finally turned into such a vile person.


    Was this her nascent soul? She had successfully formed a baby.


    "Boom ~" The thunderclouds in the sky churned. The thunder crackled and crackled, giving off a strong pressure like that of an executioner. At this moment, he was rubbing his hands together, ready to give a heavy blow to the people below.


    Jun Qiyan sat up straight and began to cast a protective shield around him.


    "Rumble." The first thunder tribulation struck. The entire space was illuminated, and Jun Qiyan''s shield instantly shattered.


    She received only a small shock wave and quickly conjured a second shield.


    "Boom!" "The second bolt of lightning brought with it the power of laws. As the protective shield shattered, Jun Qiyan was also struck by it.


    Her hair instantly exploded and her face turned completely black. Just as she was about to set up the third protective barrier, the lightning tribulation in the clouds no longer gave her the chance, and it directly struck on top of her head. With a loud bang, a crater was created on the ground, and countless electric currents rushed into Jun Feiyan''s body, traveling through her meridians.


    Boom!" The fourth thunder tribulation was as thick as her waist and directly submerged Jun Qianyan. As the thunder penetrated her flesh, her skin was charred black, and smoke began to rise from her entire body.


    Jun Qiyan felt a bit lost. Was he going to roast her?


    "Boom ~ ~" Before she could react, the fifth lightning bolt fell down. Her meridians were forcefully widened by the thunder tribulation, and her internal organs were displaced. Fresh blood oozed out from her pores.


    Jun Qiyan was already sprawled on the ground; each lightning tribulation was fiercer than the last.


    Boom!" The sixth bolt of lightning was extremely thin, but its strength was much stronger than the previous bolt of lightning. This bolt of lightning drilled into her mind, exploding inside her head like a flower.


    Jun Qiyan spat out a mouthful of blood as he lay powerlessly on the ground. He had already become a charred man of blood.


    "Boom!" This time, it was a bolt of lightning as thick as an arm. It was not bad, but it was normal for it to fall on her bones. From her skull to her toes, all the bones were baptized in lightning ¡­


    The numbness and pain of the lightning bolt caused constant damage to her body.


    The clouds in the sky continued to churn as lightning flashed. Jun Qianyan had already lost all of her strength, but her consciousness was being refreshed by the thunder and lightning. She could only stare helplessly at the thunder and lightning in the sky, waiting for it to descend again.


    BOOM! The lightning tribulation came as soon as it was mentioned. Its speed was extremely fast, and before Jun Qianyan could even react, it had already struck her head. However, that lightning had directly passed through her head, and suddenly disappeared.


    Jun Qiyan knitted her brows as a tearing pain suddenly came from her Dantian. Countless currents of electricity surged within her Dantian, as if it were a tiny ball of lightning.


    The nascent soul that was hovering around the dantian was immediately attacked by the thunder tribulation. Its small body became transparent as it shook, as if it was about to disappear.


    Jun Qianyan would never have thought that thunder tribulation could be used in such a way. If a person''s cultivation level did not reach home, wouldn''t they die the moment their nascent soul formed?


    Jun Qiyan felt that this world was truly filled with pits. Fortunately, her nascent soul was still weak and had managed to withstand the tribulation. Now, there was only one more.


    Jun Qiyan endured the pain and raised her head to look at the thunderclouds in the sky. The dark clouds grew thicker and thicker, and the lightning flashed more frequently, but it didn''t fall.


    She took the opportunity to draw in the surrounding spiritual energy to heal her injuries. An endless flow of spiritual energy flowed into her body. The spiritual energy here was much denser than in the Profound East Continent.


    "Boom!" "Boom!" After the last thunder tribulation was completed, the lightning that was as thick as an arm began to descend slowly. Indeed, it was slow and leisurely, to the point that Jun Qiyan could clearly see its leisurely strolling appearance.


    Eh? This was a red bolt of lightning. Was there any red lightning tribulation in this world? As Jun Qiyan thought about it carefully, the feeling of thunder tribulation suddenly accelerated, and crashed into her body with a loud bang.


    Ah!" Jun Qiyan screamed out in pain. This red lightning carried an irresistible force as it rampaged through her body, breaking all the bones in her body.


    All of the bones were shattered with a ''ka ka ka'' sound. Jun Qiyan had clearly heard the sound.


    What was this thunder tribulation!?


    Finally, just as Jun Qiyan was about to faint, the thunder tribulation in the sky quietly dispersed, revealing a dark red background.


    Countless amounts of spirit energy flowed into her body. The nascent soul in her dantian slowly opened its eyes, and its golden pupils calmly absorbed the spirit energy to wash the wounds on her body and heal the injuries caused by the thunder tribulation.


    "Why is there red lightning?" The Sky Sword looked at the unconscious Jun Qiyan, its tone was filled with suspicion, and continued to observe her.


    There was a red lightning tribulation, but it was used to purify the demonic energy. Could it be that Jun Qiyan''s body was infected by the demonic energy, or that she had been possessed by a devil?


    At this time, the Sky Hall was like a curious dragon who was continuously circling Jun Qianyan. He wasn''t worried about Jun Qianyan fainting away; she was already at the Nascent Soul stage and had the ability to repair herself. Furthermore, she was a dragon clan; her ability to repair herself would only increase exponentially.

 C344

    Sure enough, Jun Qiyan''s body was slowly being restored as the broken bones in her body were connected under the effect of the golden light, becoming even harder. Her mind was gradually recovering, her meridians became thicker and wider, and dense spirit energy flowed through them.


    Her charred hair had also grown out. It was silky smooth and smooth, causing her to look as if she had been reborn.


    His consciousness slowly turned and Jun Qiyan woke up, her golden eyes wide as she looked at the red clouds in the sky. The red light was moving at a speed visible to the naked eye, releasing red light, growing more and more intense until a black crack suddenly appeared in the sky, slowly spreading out until it covered the entire sky, as if the sky had suddenly been torn apart.


    This wasn''t all. The murderous aura in the air was sucked into the crack by an intense gravitational force. The crack split into pieces, spreading from the sky to the earth. The entire space began to shake violently.


    "What are you still daydreaming for? This dimension is already shattered from the lack of support. Hurry up and retreat." The ''Vault Sword'' saw Jun Qiyan lying on the ground with her eyes wide open, staring at everything in front of her. It was a little dazed, and was immediately flustered and exasperated. Just what kind of master had he chosen?!


    Jun Qiyan woke up from his stupor and stood up. At this time, the space was shaking even more violently, the cracks in the sky were densely packed and the entire sky seemed to have been shattered into pieces.


    Some unknown objects in the sky started to fall down and the ground started to crack. It was long and deep, reaching to the center of the earth, and it seemed as if red magma could be seen.


    "How do I get out?" Jun Qiyan hid while asking. Although the space was shattered, the process wasn''t too fast. It was also easy to be hit by rocks, so she wasn''t worth mentioning where the exit was.


    "Cut it out." The voice of the Sky Sword was faint, without the slightest hint of panic.


    Jun Qiyan pursed her lips.


    However, the truth didn''t give her much time to think. The earth and the sky split apart, and countless boulders fell to the ground. The black hole on top of them also emitted a powerful gravitational force.


    Jun Qianyan lifted up the Heaven''s Sword and poured all of its spiritual energy into the stone pillar, and used all of his strength to slash towards the stone pillar in front of him.


    The sword let out a clanging sound as a golden stream of sword Qi shot out along the blade of the sword. It carried a majestic aura with it, unstoppable and unstoppable.


    BOOM! The huge boulder in front of him had been split open. In addition, a huge rift had been cut open in the sky far away from where Jun Qianyan''s sword was located. He could see stars twinkling in the sky as he rushed forward, constantly slashing at the rocks blocking his path.


    The Sword of the Heavens itself was silent, but the pressure was extremely low. Thinking about how he had been majestic since the moment he was born, and how everyone had struggled so hard for him, any owner who had obtained a sword would treat him as a treasure. One strike would definitely take the lives of their enemies, and now, he was using it to kill a stone.


    His illustrious reputation in this life, his illustrious reputation, had been defeated by Jun Qiyan just like that ¡­


    This was truly unfortunate for his family. Ah pei, what a blind dog''s eye!


    At this very moment, Jun Qiyan had already arrived at the edge of the crevice. She didn''t even need to take a step forward as the gravity would directly pull her away.


    Thinking up to here, she relaxed her body and dragged the Sky Sword with her, falling straight into the darkness ¡­


    It was still a pitch black sky. In front of her, a massive vortex of red space was constantly swaying, and countless cracks had appeared within the vortex. This was the space she had just stayed in, and it was about to explode and shatter.


    She hurriedly used her luck to push herself forward. The whirlpool behind her expanded and exploded, sending countless fragments flying everywhere.


    Jun Qiyan hurriedly dodged as the violent aftermath shook her body, causing her to directly rush upwards. There, a white light suddenly appeared.


    "Whew ~ Whew ~ ~" It was a rough and heavy sound of breathing. With a loud noise, a strange gust of wind blew against her face, bringing with it heat and wetness ¡­


    Jun Qiyan felt a splitting headache coming on. The white beam of light from earlier had almost blinded her.


    Her aching fingers trembled slightly as she searched all over the place to finally grasp onto the Sky Sword. Following which, Jun Feiyan''s eyes suddenly opened, and a golden light flashed within, and then it quickly dissipated, revealing a gigantic black hole in front of her. The black hole was filled with black weeds, and it was as thick as her arm.


    Jun Qiyan immediately jumped up into the air, far away with a horrified look on her face.


    Not to mention the fact that he was fat, he was still wearing the beast skin clothing worn during the Desolate Lands. The huge thing swayed slightly and suddenly lowered its head to look at Jun Qiyan, it was a human face, but it was so big that people couldn''t see the ends of it. The nose on its face was red, and it was panting heavily.


    Jun Qiyan was sure that the black hole she had just seen was her nostrils.


    What is this?" Giant? Jun Qiyan was so lucky that she could only come to this conclusion.


    "Are you an elf? Why did it fall from the sky? But you don''t have wings! " The giant suddenly opened his mouth and spoke in a dull voice which happened to be directed at Jun Qiyan.


    That feeling was extraordinary. Jun Qiyan hurriedly took a few steps back, avoiding the lightning zone.


    The giant can talk, and he looks friendly.


    Jun Qiyan collected her emotions and put on a deep smile. "I am not an elf. I am a human being. May I ask where we are? Are you from the Giants?"


    Jun Qiyan asked a few questions in one breath before stopping.


    The giant tilted his head and looked at her curiously. His eyes that were like two black holes were still blinking.


    "This is the Southern Barbaric Province, and we aren''t of the Giants, but we''re of the Savage Tribe. You''re a human, so why have you come here?" The giant was still curiously looking at Jun Qiyan. He felt that she was only a bit younger than his group, so how could her race be different?


    Southern Barbaric Region, Savage Tribe? Jun Qiyan frowned as he pondered. Was this the upper realm?


    "Chief said that you humans are all bad people, the most treacherous and cunning. It''s better for you to hurry up and leave, as long as you are discovered it won''t be good." As the giant spoke, he stretched out his huge palm and grabbed Jun Qianyan. She was caught by the giant like a little bug.

 C345

    "Wait a moment." The giant suddenly found that Jun Qiyan was unable to break free no matter how hard he tried.


    "Is this the upper plane?" She had to find out about this world first, she had to find Di Mo Jiu first.


    "Do you know how to get there?" When Jun Qiyan saw the other party holding her hand, she took large strides forward, causing the ground to tremble.


    At a glance, the lush and verdant primeval forest below was much larger than normal. However, it could no longer compare to the towering height of the Savage Tribe.


    "Hmm? Do you also know about the demon race? " The giant''s expression immediately changed to one of joy, and his huge mouth opened wide, almost spitting Jun Qianyan to death when he spoke.


    "I ¡­ I want to go to the Demon race to find my friend. May I ask where I should go?" The moment she heard his words, she knew that he was from the demon race, so she hurriedly asked.


    "Mm ¡­" The other suddenly pursed his lips for a long time, before slowly saying, "Since you are a friend of the demon race, I will take you back to the clan. The chief will definitely like you."


    With that, the man from the Savage Tribe immediately turned his head and ran quickly across the ground. Every step he took caused his entire body to tremble.


    "About that, can you put me down first?" Jun Qiyan quietly said as she struggled to move her body. She felt really uncomfortable being held in her hands.


    "Oh, I''m sorry." Only then did the giant realize that Jun Qiyan was being held tightly by him. He scratched his head in embarrassment and carefully placed Jun Qiyan on his shoulder.


    Jun Qiyan hurriedly found a spot to stand. From the thick hair covering the arms of the giant, he was probably over a hundred meters tall.


    Jun Qiyan was in a good mood as he followed the giants to their tribe.


    It was a large building that stretched out as far as the eye could see. It seemed inappropriate, but it was more like a huge cave that stretched out in all directions. The height was sufficient for a giant to run within.


    As soon as the giant with Jun Qiyan entered the cave, he bumped into another giant. It was a giant that was slightly shorter than a giant.


    "Sola, hello!" The giants greeted each other with a satisfied smile.


    "Did you go out hunting again? How''s the harvest today? " Nassolas nodded with a smile and asked the giant.


    "Hehe, I didn''t manage to catch them today. They''re all hiding." Giant scratched his head again and said to Sola disapprovingly.


    "Hahaha, then come to my house later to pick up some leftover food." Sola enthusiastically invited Giant, who hurriedly nodded in thanks before bringing Jun Qiyan in. Perhaps Jun Qiyan was too young, but Sola actually didn''t notice her presence.


    Many giants passed by once again. There were men and women, old and young, all enthusiastically greeting each other. The scene was harmonious and beautiful.


    Jun Qiyan was somewhat shocked. This race was way too harmonious, as if they didn''t have any scheming or scheming, fighting for benefits, or scheming. Everyone was living the most primitive life, yet they were happier and richer than any other people she had ever met.


    Jun Qiyan developed a strong interest in this race.


    "What''s your name?" The giant man unconsciously tilted his head, and used his huge hands to attack the giant, but when he thought of the fact that it was Jun Qiyan who abruptly stopped in his tracks, he didn''t dare to move his body.


    "My name is Jess. Don''t point it at my ear. It''s itchy." Jess introduced himself, and two blobs of red appeared on his face.


    Although the Savage Tribe was huge in size, they were actually even more sensitive than humans. When they spoke to their ears, the heat they emitted would often cause them to itch.


    "Sorry." Jun Qiyan took a few steps back and stood away from his ear.


    As they were talking, they suddenly turned into a cave room. The room was not a room, but a different world, and they could see that it was empty, and they could see the blue sky far away, and a lot of huge vines were hanging down from above. In the middle was a tall stone sculpture, and it was carved with a giant man with battle boots and a spear in his hands.


    Before Jun Qiyan could clearly see the sculpture, it was placed on the ground by Jess. He was already looking around.


    "Patriarch, Patriarch!" The muffled sound echoed throughout the cave as a cool breeze blew through. At this time, Jun Qiyan felt that this place was truly hot, much hotter than the summer in the Lower Realm.


    "What are you shouting for?" An old man slowly walked out. His hair was white to the point of reaching his ankles, and his stature was small and petite. He was actually no different from Jun Qianyan.


    Jun Qiyan raised an eyebrow. This was clearly a human being. He was also not wearing a beast herd; they were all human clothes.


    "Patriarch, I brought some friends over. They have friends from the demon race." Zegna smiled and stared dumbly at the old chief.


    When the Patriarch heard about the devil race, a look of surprise flashed through his eyes. Then, he looked at Jun Yunyan. The two of them looked at each other in dismay. The old man''s expression immediately turned angry.


    "Why are they human!?" Didn''t I say that the human race is all bad people, and that they are not allowed to enter? " The old man angrily smashed his crutch against the ground. A deep crack immediately appeared on the ground, quickly extending to Jun Qianyan''s feet. She quickly dodged. She was somewhat shocked; just a light smash was enough to crack the earth.


    "Jesse didn''t think she was a bad person, and she came to ask for directions. She has a friend from the demon race." Seeing that the clan leader was angry, Zegna immediately felt wronged. He silently lowered his head to try to defend himself.


    The old man looked at Jun Qianyan with a burning gaze. Jun Qianyan looked back at him with clear eyes.


    "You go out first!" The patriarch turned around and spoke to Jess. After hesitating for a moment, he walked out with a worried expression on his face towards Jun Qiyan.


    "You are not human!" The clan leader''s wrinkled face had a pair of eyes that radiated light.


    "I am of the dragon race." Jun Qiyan thought for a moment and decided to reveal his identity. The old man''s expression became colorful and then returned to Pingjin.


    "The dragon clan has disappeared for many years. Where is the dragon clan?" The Patriarch sneered and scoffed at Jun Qiyan''s words.


    Disappeared for many years? Jun Qiyan frowned. The little gold dragon said that the Dragon God had ascended a thousand years ago.


    "What do you mean? I''m a dragon from the Lower Realm. What''s wrong with the dragon race?" Jun Qiyan questioned the Patriarch. He must know something.


    When the Patriarch heard Jun Qianyan speak of the Lower Realm, his old face immediately changed. It was as if he couldn''t believe what was happening as he quickly ran to Jun Qiyan''s side and carefully observed her. His eyes were filled with disbelief.


    "Lower plane? Impossible, the Eastern Xuan Continent had long since been annihilated along with history, who could it be! " The old man still didn''t dare to believe it. The only lower plane where the dragon race existed was the Eastern Xuan Continent, but...

 C346

    The old man''s words seemed to contain magic, each sentence contained a tremendous amount of information, which caused Jun Qiyan to be unable to react. What did it mean to say that the Eastern Xuan Continent had been annihilated, and that that place was merely controlled by someone, all of the people in the upper echelons were kept in the dark, so did they think that the Eastern Xuan Continent was gone?


    "I am indeed from the Eastern Profound Continent, where have I not been annihilated." After she finished speaking, Jun Qiyan released everyone from her space space. She stood in a row, looking confused. She herself had transformed into a dragon that circled in the air before descending.


    This was to prove his identity to the Patriarch. Jun Qianyan felt that this Patriarch was not bad; at least, his eyes had been filled with shock and excitement all this time; it was not a scheme.


    She believed that the clan was pure.


    "You ¡­ Come with me. " The chief''s body trembled uncontrollably. His footsteps trembled as he turned around and left. Everyone quickly followed.


    The Patriarch brought Jun Qiyan down to a secret room. The room was surrounded by walls, and on the walls were carvings of frescoes, vividly depicting a great battle.


    "The dragon race has indeed disappeared. They have disappeared since the great battle. Everyone has disappeared in a single night." The clan leader''s voice trembled slightly, bringing with it a sense of desolation.


    The war in the mural was precisely the battle between the gods and devils. The Taotie, Taotie, and Octadic Great Snakes were the clearest because they had all participated in this battle.


    However, they had fallen into the Lower Planes during the great battle. They didn''t know about the situation regarding the Dragon Tribe.


    "Why not?" Jun Qiyan''s heart was heavy. Her cheap father, had the Dragon God also disappeared?


    "I don''t know, maybe they were punished. As part of the god race, they helped the demons in the Great War of Gods and Demons and became traitors of the god race." The more the clan leader spoke, the more his body trembled. That great battle was truly too cruel. Almost all races were sucked in, and in the end, both sides suffered injuries. The god race barely won.


    "The Savage Tribe used to be a famous Battle Tribe, and more than half of the brave warriors of the tribe have died because of the war between the gods and the devils. Now, they can only stay in this remote corner." The dragon race and devil race were both their allies, but he hated humans to the bones. If it wasn''t for the fact that humans were good at using tricks in that war, how could they have lost?


    "Then, what about the Dragon God?" Jun Qiyan had more or less understood the situation. Right now, she only wanted to know if the Dragon God also ¡­


    The clan leader''s eyes were filled with pain as he looked at Jun Qianyan, grief filling his eyes. "He too has disappeared. Perhaps he is already dead. The god race has never been merciful towards traitors."


    Jun Qiyan suddenly found it hard to stand. Dead?


    She had never seen her cheap father before, but he gave her a Dragon''s egg and Dragon''s Tears. How could he just die like that?


    Then who was the one behind the chaos?


    On the other side, Jun Qiyan was experiencing a brainstorm.


    "Are you the brat from the Wilderness?" At the side, Tao Wu suddenly thought of something and dashed in front of the old man. That wrinkled face of his was truly unrecognizable.


    The Patriarch looked at the Taowu that suddenly appeared in front of him and was stunned for a long time. Then, his eyes suddenly widened. "You are Lord Taowu."


    The voice was filled with respect, and his weak body trembled even more intensely from the excitement.


    "How did you become so small?" The Taotie also went up. The chief was without a doubt a Giant, it was impossible for him to be as small as a human.


    Tao Tie''s words seemed unintentional, but when the chief heard these words, he gripped his walking stick and loudly crashed onto the ground. His pupils constricted and his face revealed fear. It was as if he had thought of something terrifying and his mouth opened and closed.


    "Yes ¡­" They are all human beings, and they are inhumane. They have used all of the captives of our Savage Tribe in an extremely terrifying experiment. That experiment made our bodies shrink.


    He was the tallest one of the entire Wilderness, and had witnessed his comrade being drained of his flesh and blood. His skin shriveled, and he finally died after drying up.


    An experiment again!


    Jun Qiyan turned around and looked at the people behind him, reminding them of the ruthless experiments in the Lower Realm. The people of the Upper Realm had also ordered them to do so, and it seemed that there were many people in the Upper Realm who had suffered from the poison.


    "Did you just say who did the experiment on you?" Jun Qiyan steadied the chief and asked softly. She wanted to know who the Lord was.


    "Yes ¡­" Yes... "Deities Templar." The clan leader panted as he spoke to the crowd. Every time he mentioned that place, he would feel a sense of fear. He felt as if his entire body would fall into a cave of ice.


    It was a demonic land.


    Jun Qiyan and the others looked at each other. Temple? Who knows where they are!


    "Yes, you have just arrived at the Higher Planes." It took the chief a long time to calm down. He looked at the puzzled gazes of the crowd and decided to tell them about the distribution of power and the terrain of this world.


    "The Upper Plane and the Lower Plane are the same. There is also a general name called the continent of the Nine Provinces."


    The continent of the Nine Prefectures is not a complete continent. It is surrounded by seawater, which divides the continent into eight continents. There are a few large prefectures, and this is the Southern Barbaric Province that is the most southerly of them all.


    "To the north is the green land, the territory of the elves. To the north is the Snake Province, the territory of the Nuwa Clan. However, there are a lot of poisonous snakes and rats here, and no one dares to go there."


    The central part is called the Central Plains and they are respectively the Qian Province, Yanzhou, and the God Continent. The Qian Province and the Yan Province are grouped together, and the God Province is the headquarters of the divine hall.


    There are three great states to the north, and the Underworld is a tribe of the Fey. The Fey should be a small race, and the Ghost Domain is in the middle, which is also a tribe of the Ghost Clan. The Ghost Clan will drink blood there, and that place is always dark. The northernmost region is the Northern Ice Region. I heard that it used to be the place where the dragon race resided, and it was not that cold back then.


    The Patriarch slowly explained to everyone about the distribution of this world.


    "There is also a region of Abyssal Demon Beasts that is truly at the bottom of the three continents. Those magical beasts live at the bottom of the seas all year round, and there aren''t any magical beasts on the streets. Even if there are, they''ve all been captured by humans."


    The people of this world could contract magical beasts, unlike the people of the lower planes.


    Jun Qiyan and the others had finally made sense of the world?


    But, what about the god and devil races?

 C347

    When Jun Qianyan asked this question, the Patriarch faintly sighed.


    The god and devil races are not on the continent of the Nine Regions. They have formed their own separate worlds, but are also connected to the continent of the Nine Regions. One of them lives in the Abyss, the other in the Nine Palace Palace.


    "In that case, can we head to the deep valley abyss to look for the demon realm ¡­" Jun Qiyan looked at her with a burning gaze. Since Di Mo Jiu had returned, the devil race would certainly reappear.


    "The demon passage is already closed, and won''t be able to enter." The Patriarch sighed as he shook his head, feeling rather helpless.


    It was unexpected that after leaving for so long, so many changes had already happened here. The people of the former war had already lived in agriculture, the demon channels had also been closed, and human beings had even risen up such a great force. They didn''t know what the other races were like.


    "Patriarch, how should we leave this place?" She had many enemies in the Upper Realm. Not only did she need to find Di Mo Jiu, she also needed to find her parents. Even now, she still did not know who her mother was.


    "This... I''m afraid we won''t be able to leave now. " The patriarch frowned. The reason why they chose this place was because they valued the terrain.


    This state was equivalent to an island surrounded by sea. Standing on the island, one might not be able to see it clearly, but on the outside, one would realize that the sea level was much higher than the island''s and did not affect the land.


    This was a phenomenon that was unique to the Southern Barbaric Region. It was a wonder of the heavens, a gift from nature. It wasn''t easy to enter this place, and it wasn''t easy to leave it.


    He had to wait until the low tide of the month before he could take the boat out. During the high tide, even a flying treasure would have a hard time traversing this sea.


    The clan leader explained to everyone one by one, and after everyone understood, they felt relieved. If that was the case, then there was no other choice but to wait.


    Jun Qiyan had directly descended into the Southern Barbaric Region, and he''d never even seen a sea that was higher than land.


    "When is this low tide?" Jun Qiyan frowned. He wouldn''t make her wait for long would he?


    "Yes." The clan leader was deep in thought. His finger moved slightly as he calculated something.


    "You guys have good luck, this ebb and flow period will happen in three days." There was a hint of pleasure in the old voice.


    Jun Qiyan and the others looked at each other as the corners of their mouths hooked up into a smile.


    Everyone began to walk out one after another. When those giants saw this group of little guys walk out, they all jumped in fright. Even their steps became unsteady.


    "You came out. You really are a good person." Jun Qiyan raised her head, and a black shadow rushed towards her. The one who had been stepped on was none other than Zeges.


    "Eh, isn''t it just you?" Jess crouched down and stared at Jun Qianyan''s group with his round bell-like eyes, filled with curiosity.


    "They are my friends." Jun Qiyan let out a wide smile. Although this guy, Jess, looked like a fiendish devil, but he had a curious personality. He was also very hospitable and well-mannered.


    "Jase, who are they? Why are they coming out of the Patriarch''s room?" A female Southern Barbaric Nether Clan member walked over from the side. Her skin was slightly dark, but her facial features were exquisite, and it was obvious that she was a beautiful woman.


    "Annie. They are our friends, as well as our friends from the demon race. " Zegna excitedly introduced the woman, as though he had seen a treasure.


    "Demons?" Annie''s eyes immediately lit up and she squatted down as well. Her eyes seemed to be dotted with the stars as she sized up the rest of them.


    "You''re all so cute." Annie''s clear and moving voice was filled with amazement. That young girl''s burst of heart made Jun Qiyan feel like she was a cute little doll.


    It seemed that not only did humans like small and exquisite things, even giants also liked small things. The feeling of being watched like clowns was not very good.


    "This is my best friend, Anne." Jess turned to Jun Qiyan and introduced him.


    Jun Qiyan nodded at Annie in a friendly manner, but he really couldn''t stand her gaze.


    "Eh, Jess, can you bring us to visit your Southern Barbaric Tribe?" Jun Qiyan opened his mouth once again and tried to find another topic to talk about. Immediately, he stopped looking at the stars and placed his palm next to Jun Qiyan''s body.


    "I''ll bring you guys there. I know all the roads here." Zegna''s mouth split open, his smile like the sun.


    "Then I''ll be troubling you." As he finished speaking, Jun Qiyan and the others climbed onto his palm.


    "Me too, me too." That Annie did not want to be outdone, she also wanted to follow, the group of people walked out, heavy steps one after another.


    "Jess, how long have you been here?" Jun Qiyan chatted nonchalantly with Jess and was in a rare mood of relaxation.


    "I was born here." Zegna looked up at the scenery in front of him, a hint of gloom flashing through his eyes. He hadn''t gone out since he was born.


    "My parents are the most powerful warriors in the history of the Southern Barbaric Kingdom, but ¡­ They all died in the war between the Fiendgods. " He was a child born of war. He hadn''t even seen his parents once.


    "I''m sorry!" The light in Jun Qiyan''s eyes flickered, and the smile on her face disappeared. She didn''t think that this would be the case with Jess.


    "And me, my parents are super powerful too." Annie, who is by the side, raises her hand and joins the group. However, after saying how strong she is, her eyes glows and she does not continue.


    Jun Qiyan seemed to have understood something. Although the Southern Barbaric Province seemed happy and peaceful on the surface, it was probably left behind because of the great war between the gods and devils.


    Their parents had died on the battlefield many years ago.


    "It''s alright, I''ll take you to see them." With that, he returned to his sunny appearance and ran out of the cave. After they left the cave, they made several turns and arrived at a vast stone forest.


    There were stones everywhere, and the towering stones were being carved into stone sculptures. The stone sculptures were of giants, and all sorts of expressions could be seen on their faces; there was solemnity, despair, joy, and sadness.


    "Look, this is my parents, Annie''s parents." As he walked to the center, he pointed at the four statues and introduced them to Jun Qiyan. They were two men and two women, all of whom wore happy smiles on their faces.


    Jun Qiyan suddenly felt a pang in her heart. They should be feeling worse than anyone else, yet she still wanted to introduce her dead parents to outsiders.


    When he lifted his head again, the densely packed stone carvings with no end in sight were all the people from the Southern Barbaric Clan that died in the war.


    "Actually, I''m not sad at all." Zegna suddenly sat down next to the stone sculpture. His eyes were calm, and Annie sat next to him in silence.

 C348

    "I''m proud of them. They are all heroes." Jess''s voice was filled with pride, confidence, and affirmation.


    "They used their own power to protect this tribe, which is why I was able to thrive and grow." He looked at Jun Qiyan and the others.


    "I really envy them. I also want to become a warrior, become a hero, and fearlessly charge forward like them. This is my dream." As he spoke of his dream, his eyes shone with boundless light. The light of hope in his eyes stung Jun Qiyan''s heart.


    "Everyone in the clan told me not to wishful thinking, do you think I would succeed?" Jess looked at Jun Qiyan in anticipation. All of the people in the clan had been baptized in war. They couldn''t accept the warrior spirit that they had before. They had already lost the quality that a battle nation should have.


    "You will. You''ll surely be a hero of the Southern Barbaric Clan, as formidable as your parents." Jun Qiyan replied with a sincere look on his face.


    At this very moment, Jun Qianyan didn''t know that one of her own must have helped him to overcome countless difficulties in the future.


    It was even the life of a hero that became the overlord of a nation.


    "En!" Jess nodded affirmatively at Jun Qianyan, fog rising faintly in her eyes. Beside her, the quiet Annie also smiled with gratification.


    "Does the outside world look good? What does it look like? " Jess looked at Jun Qiyan like a child asking for information.


    "The world outside has four seasons. Spring flowers bloom everywhere, summer willows bloom in the sky, autumn leaves fall in the air, and winter snowflakes fall everywhere. There are people, things, you can make more friends outside. The world outside is brilliant, you can walk all over the mountains and rivers, and you can tread all over the wilderness."


    Jun Qiyan''s gaze drifted into the distance as she softly narrated the world that was captivating to her.


    Jess and Annie''s eyes immediately became burning hot, their gazes causing Jun Qi to panic.


    The group spent their time in the midst of laughing and talking.


    In next to no time, three days had passed. During these three days, Jun Qianyan and the others had received a warm welcome from the Southern Barbaric Tribe.


    In the end, Jun Qianyan concocted pills overnight. Although it wasn''t a particularly high grade pill, and she didn''t know what level the alchemists in the upper echelons were, she was currently the only one who could produce such pills.


    When the Patriarch received the dozens of bottles of pills from Jun Qiyan, his wrinkled eyes almost popped out of their sockets.


    This was a grade seven or eight pill, and its effects were rich and varied. No matter where the alchemist was, it was a very popular business, and even outside of the city, grade seven or eight pills were hard to find. Who would have thought that this barren Southern Barbaric Nether Domain would still be able to obtain such a pill?


    "Lady Qiyan, thank you. Thank you." The Patriarch looked at Jun Qianyan with tears streaming down his face. This man was the savior of his entire clan.


    "Of course." Jun Qiyan smiled in return. She could understand the Patriarch''s feelings as well. Currently, there were only a hundred people left in the Southern Barbaric Nether Clan. It could be seen how bitter the war had been.


    "Where is Lady Qiyan planning to go?" Since the continent of the Nine Prefectures is so large, there must be a destination.


    "I want... "Let''s go to the State of Qian first." With her current power, it was impossible for her to reconnect with the headquarters of the God Continent''s God Realm. She could only go to the Qian Prefecture, the continent that was the furthest away from the God Realm, to determine the strength of the God Realm on the spot. After all, the Southern Barbaric Nether Clan had not appeared for many years.


    She also needed to have a corresponding power to deal with Deities Templar, so no matter how powerful she was, it would be difficult for her to fight against all four of them empty-handed.


    Furthermore, she did not know the strength of this so-called ''Lord''. She did not want to experience such a terrifying power and could only wait for her death.


    At this time, the tides were extremely unstable, the sea was rough and rough, and the altitude was far higher than that of the land. The high waves were subsiding at a speed visible to the naked eye, and as the sea level plummeted, Jun Qianyan and the others had to wait for the sea to descend below land before they could set off.


    "Eh? "Why didn''t you see Jess coming to see us off?" Feng Chen Lang searched left and right, yet he couldn''t find that familiar figure.


    Jun Qiyan was also puzzled. She looked very serious as he had been accompanying them almost every day for the past few days. He was the most diligent at the moment and knew that it was impossible for them to not send him off.


    "Annie isn''t here either." Jing and Ji Bai reminded everyone.


    On the other side ¡­


    "Are you really going?" Annie grabbed the bag in Jess''s hands and looked at him stubbornly. Her delicate face was scrunched up into a frown.


    "I have to go. This is my only chance." He had already been in the Southern Barbaric Region for so many years, and he wanted to see the outside world. She had to go.


    "It''s so dangerous outside. Many Southern Barbaric Nether Clan members died outside. Why do you still want to go? You can also be a hero in the Southern Barbaric Region." He didn''t want Jess to leave. Jess was her best friend, and what would she do if he left?


    Annie, let go, you should know my dream. Not only do I have to go see the outside world, I also have to see the place where my parents died at that time. I have to go see the humans, see the demons, and look at the gods.


    "Then what should I do? If you leave, what should I do?!" She knew what Jess was thinking and respected him, but she couldn''t get over it. She was sad to think that she would never see him again.


    "Annie, listen to me. Stay well within the clan. Once I become stronger, I''ll definitely come pick you up. I''ll still stay here and let everyone from the Southern Barbaric Nether Domain walk out of this sealed cage."


    That''s right, to Zegna, this natural defense was a cage. The clansmen did not dare to go out, did not dare to go near the outside world, and could only stay in a corner. How pathetic was that.


    "Jess, the people outside hate our Southern Barbaric Tribe. Have you forgotten? We are the losers, a clan that was expelled from the Nine Regions! " Annie shouted, and the voice shook in Jess''s ear.


    After a long moment, he smiled brightly, put down his backpack, and extended his finger to Annie.


    "You''re right. Our tribe is a destitute race that has been expelled. The outsiders will not accept us. It doesn''t matter, I''m going out this time to show the outsiders that the souls of our barbarian warriors will not perish!" Jess''s voice was like a grand bell ringing in Annie''s heart.

 C349

    She stared blankly at the man in front of her who seemed to have just grown up. The man had a rigid face, confident eyes, and an agitated voice.


    "Annie, I have a promise with you. I will definitely bring Glorious Brilliance to pick you up. We will pull the hook and won''t lie to you." There was a tender kindness in his eyes, and his eyes were hard. Anne knew that the man who had grown up with him had grown up.


    "Click!" She let go of him suddenly and hooked her finger into his hand. Just like when they were kids, if he pulled the hook with her and made a promise, he wouldn''t lie to her.


    Jess would come back to pick her up with Brilliant.


    "Alright, hurry up and go. They will be leaving soon." Annie subconsciously rubbed her eyes and passed the bag to Jess. He took the bag and gave her a light hug.


    After that, he turned around and left without looking back. His back was straight and proud. He had courage and tenacity that no one could defeat him.


    "Wait for me!" He told the truth.


    Annie couldn''t hold it in any longer, squatting down with her arms crossed and tears streaming down her face. She didn''t even have the courage to send Jesse on his way.


    At this moment, the tide on Jun Qiyan''s side had already started to fall. The custom-built ship had already launched itself into the water, just waiting for it to break down and set off.


    Jun Qiyan, on the other hand, was looking off into the distance with a slightly anxious expression on her face. She was waiting for Jess, and she felt that he would come at any moment.


    "Qiyan, do you think he will come with us?" The capital''s Ji Bai guessed Jun Qiyan''s thoughts. He walked to her side and looked into the distance with her.


    "En!" Jun Qiyan didn''t say anything else. He only nodded his head in affirmation. In the eyes of the warrior in Zegna''s eyes, his racial conviction was too strong, and he couldn''t bear to miss this opportunity to go out.


    Sure enough, a huge figure appeared in the distance. The man was sweating profusely and had a bag in his hand. He was panting heavily. It was Zegna.


    "Lady Qiyan, I want to go with you, please accept me!" Jess greeted Jun Qiyan from afar, and the sound of his running footsteps shook the entire ground.


    Jun Qiyan''s mouth hooked up into a pleased smile. She knew that he would definitely come back. She had not purposely waited for him in vain.


    "All of us are experts, and we have their strengths. What do you have? I can''t possibly bring along a piece of trash, can I?" Jun Qiyan purposely spoke to make things difficult for Jess. She wanted to see how much perseverance and determination Jess had. The world here was much more dangerous than the lower realm.


    And what they wanted to do was the same as subverting the entire continent. Their enemy had been at the top of the food chain from the very beginning, so those who followed her had to have this kind of awareness.


    "I''m big and have a Nascent Soul cultivation level that can protect you guys and deal with bad guys together with you." He was so tired that he was gasping for breath.


    "I can protect myself. Why are you following me?" Jun Qiyan asked again. His eyes were no longer as gentle as they usually were.


    "I want to become strong, I want to take revenge, I want to bring the Southern Barbaric Clan into the glory of the past!" Jess stood up, his tone grave and solemn, as if he were taking an oath.


    The corners of Jun Qiyan''s mouth curled into a smile. He was satisfied with the ruthlessness and perseverance in Zegna''s eyes.


    You can choose your own path once we leave this place, and it''ll be your freedom wherever you want to go. But once you choose to follow me, then you must be loyal to me and listen to my orders. Of course, I won''t let you do anything that would be harmful to the Southern Barbaric Nether Domain. Jun Qiyan stated his request word for word to Zegna, and Zegna listened attentively as well.


    He had died in the Southern Barbaric Clan, and his physique and characteristics were obvious. If it was him alone, it would surely be arduous, but if he was able to follow Jun Qiyan ¡­


    Their enemies were the same, and Jun Qiyan was their friend.


    Zis had already found his choice. He looked at Jun Qiyan, his eyes filled with impatience.


    "Sigh, don''t be in such a hurry to make your choice. It''s not too late to go out and take a look at the outside world before making your choice." Jun Qiyan didn''t give Jesse a chance to speak. She didn''t want him to go out and back down after seeing the world outside. She wanted him to think it through thoroughly.


    She, Jun Qiyan, was not a saint, even if she needed people.


    "Have you made up your mind, Jess?" As the clan leader, he had watched Jess grow up, so he naturally knew what was on his mind. With the glory of the Southern Barbaric Nether Clan, he also wanted to return, what a pity ¡­


    But now, it was as if Zegna had become the hope of his family, and he had done what they didn''t dare to say they didn''t dare to do.


    The mood on the Patriarch''s aged face was complicated. There was worry, but there was also gratification. The outside world had too many prejudices against the Southern Barbaric Nether Clan, and there might have already been no members of the Southern Barbaric Nether Domain outside.


    "Patriarch, I''ve already made up my mind. Rather than hiding here and passing my days without doing anything, I want to go out and adventure. I want to revive the spirit of the brave warriors of our Southern Barbaric Clan." This was Jess''s biggest dream.


    Tears streamed down the patriarch''s face as he listened to the excitement of his words. Finally, he gave a shaky nod and agreed to the trip.


    Indeed, their Southern Barbaric Nether Domain had been hiding for long enough.


    As the boat moved away, the outline of the human figures on the shore gradually became blurry.


    Jun Qiyan''s team set sail, the road of the new strong opened curtain.


    "Jess, how long will it take for this ship to reach the state?" The group floated on the boat for a long time, with Zeges in charge.


    "This boat won''t even reach Qianzhou, will it? "The Qian Zhou region is the Sea of the Abyss Demon Beast. If we go there, we won''t be able to sail the boat. The closer we get, the more we''ll be swallowed by the demonic beasts at the bottom of the sea." The Taotie unceremoniously scolded Jun Qiyan. At the very least, he could be considered someone on the upper echelon. He couldn''t really be ignorant, right?


    "Yes, the first reason is because the journey is too far and the second is the Abyss Demon Beast. Even this ship can''t make it there, we have to go to a nearby teleportation spot." Zegna also nodded in agreement. The Southern Barbaric Region was separated by two great provinces.


    "Transfer point?" Jun Qiyan was puzzled. Another new noun.


    This world is vast, and is basically made up of seawater. It''s extremely inconvenient for transportation, so a few thousand years ago, people across the entire continent built dozens of teleportation points. That teleportation point is in fact a large teleportation formation that requires spirit stones to activate, allowing it to teleport thousands of miles in an instant.
