In the dead of night, the peak of Yunshan carried a sense of remoteness and chilling cold, sending shivers down one's spine.
Feng Yuqin woke up from the pain. Before she could even think about what was going on, a dangerous aura rushed towards her. Relying on her body's instinct, she flipped over to avoid it.
Clang... It was the sound of a sword striking a rock.
This sound and the scene in front of them made the sword - wielding man freeze for a moment.
It also made the others stop in their tracks.
"Third brother, what's going on? Didn't you just say she was dead? Could it be that your extra strike actually brought her back to life?" A rough male voice reached Feng Yuqin's ears.
The man called the third brother was also very puzzled. After all, he had personally checked Feng Yuqin's breath and there was clearly no sign of life.
The reason he struck this extra sword was to pierce through Feng Yuqin's head and make sure she was truly dead.
"Since she's not dead, then give her another strike," another thick - browed and big - eyed man said indifferently.
Hearing this, the man called the third brother raised his sword and stabbed at the back of Feng Yuqin, who was lying on the ground.
Just as the tip of the sword was about to hit Feng Yuqin, a powerful force suddenly erupted from her body, sending the third brother flying. As a result, the third brother died on the spot, and the others around him were also affected.
All the killers died within a few breaths. None of them survived.
Feng Yuqin was stunned by this scene.
Just as she was about to figure out what was going on, a force that she couldn't control suddenly appeared in her mind. It was this force that rushed into her mind along with all the memories of the original owner, causing her so much pain that cold sweat broke out on her forehead and her face turned deathly pale.
After receiving all the memories of the original owner, Feng Yuqin understood that she had traveled through time.
Moreover, her soul had taken over the body of another Feng Yuqin on a different continent in a different world.
She also understood what the force that had erupted from her body just now was.
The original owner had a jade pendant hanging around her neck. At the moment when the original owner fell to her death, the jade pendant just happened to shatter. A phoenix phantom inside it instantly flew into her forehead. The force that had killed the killers just now was the power of the phoenix phantom.
As she thought of this, she also understood her current situation.
This was the Tianyuan Continent in another world.
The Tianyuan Continent was divided into four countries: the Dongyuan Kingdom, the Xisong Kingdom, the Nanchu Kingdom, and the Beijing Kingdom.
Among them, the Dongyuan Kingdom was the most powerful, and the Beijing Kingdom was the most mysterious.
This Feng Yuqin was the daughter of Feng Pingqiu, the prime minister of the Xisong Kingdom.
She ended up here because the Xisong Kingdom was going to have a marriage alliance with the Dongyuan Kingdom. However, Feng Yuqin was attacked by a group of killers on her way to the marriage alliance. All the guards were killed.
The original owner died because she was frightened by the killers and fell out of the carriage, hitting her head on the ground.
By coincidence, her modern soul had possessed the body of the original owner.
Since she had taken over the body of the original owner, she had to take over everything of the original owner as well.
Most importantly, the original owner's mother was still in the Xisong Kingdom.
From the memories, she understood that the original owner couldn't practice because her meridians were blocked by toxins in her body. Her life had been very miserable. It was a pity that when she traveled through, she was like a general without an army. As the saying goes, even the cleverest housewife can't cook a meal without rice. Otherwise, with her reputation as a medical sage of the ancient martial family, couldn't she solve this little bit of toxin?
Since she couldn't solve the toxin in the meridians in time, her mind turned to the killers.
She had a general idea about these killers.
Since those people wanted to harm her, how could she not take revenge?
So the first thing she was going to do next was to immediately return to the Xisong Kingdom to take revenge on those who had killed the original owner.
She glanced at the corpses on the ground, including the guards who had been killed by the killers while escorting her to the marriage alliance.
She took a deep breath and clenched her fists.
Marriage alliance?
To hell with the marriage alliance!
She, the founder of the Dark Night Hall, the number - one supreme killer and the medical sage in the ancient martial world, could both kill and save lives. Life and death were in her hands. How could she end up in a marriage alliance?
It was simply a joke!
Although she couldn't practice now, it didn't mean she would never be able to practice.
From the original owner's memories, she learned about the cultivation methods on this continent. She tried to mobilize the force in her body just now to see if she could use the power that had erupted from her body and killed the killers.
As a result, because she didn't know how to control this force, a burst of flame suddenly shot out and burned everything around her.
This fire left her stunned.
She stared at the mess on the ground with wide - open eyes, then sighed.
It seemed that she still couldn't control this mysterious force.
She stood up and walked towards the killers.
The bodies of these killers had been burned beyond recognition. She rummaged through the corpses and found a storage bag on one of them.
When the owner of the storage bag died, it became ownerless.
She put away the storage bag and then walked towards the dowry that was scattered all over the place because the carriage had broken.
These were the dowries prepared by the Prime Minister's Mansion for the original owner to marry into the Dongyuan Kingdom.
She had founded the Dark Night Hall in her previous life. She could kill and save lives, and her wealth was comparable to that of a country. But after traveling through time, she had become a pauper.
She sighed dejectedly and put the meager silver and other valuable small items into the storage bag.
However, if she just left like this, the news that she was still alive might not be kept a secret.
Since she had inherited the original owner's memories, she had a general idea about these killers. Since she had accepted the kindness of the original owner, avenging the original owner and taking care of the original owner's mother, who was suffering in the back courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, were also her responsibilities.
So she thought it would be better for the original owner to "die" like this. It would be convenient for her to return to the Xisong Kingdom to take revenge.
She walked around the few people who had been burned beyond recognition, picked one with a similar build to hers, and carried the body to the carriage to start arranging the scene.
For her, a former killer and medical sage, forging a scene and disguising herself were just child's play.
...
The red sun was rising slowly. The sunlight shone on the sea of clouds, colorful and as beautiful as brocade.
Mo Xuanye rushed over with his subordinate Feng Yi. What he saw was a field of corpses.
Mo Xuanye, dressed in a long black robe, stood on the peak of the mountain like a god from the sky. When his amber eyes saw the mess on the ground, a cold and chilling glint flashed in his eyes.
He was still too late!
Although he had rushed over without any delay as soon as he got the news, he was still too late.
Feng Yi caught up. Seeing this scene, he thought to himself: Judging from this situation, there were probably no survivors.
He glanced at his master and immediately went to look for Feng Yuqin's body.
"Master, Miss Feng is here," Feng Yi said, pointing at the body that Feng Yuqin had disguised as herself.
Mo Xuanye's face changed slightly. He stepped forward to take a look and said coldly, "This isn't her."
"What?" A look of astonishment flashed in Feng Yi's eyes.
However, if the master said it wasn't her, then it definitely wasn't.
Feng Yi went to rummage through the other corpses and soon found another problem: "Master, subordinate also found that there are crescent - moon marks of our Dongyuan Kingdom on the backs of these corpses."
Mo Xuanye's cold and evil eyes narrowed dangerously. His voice was even colder: "It seems that someone is trying to pin this on the Dongyuan Kingdom."
Feng Yi was shocked: "Could it be the Nanchu Kingdom?"
Mo Xuanye didn't answer. Instead, he said to Feng Yi, "You spread the news of Feng Yuqin's 'death'."
Although Feng Yi didn't understand why the master said Feng Yuqin wasn't dead but still wanted to spread such news, Feng Yi was an obedient subordinate. He did everything his master said.
Mo Xuanye looked at the corpses on the ground. A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he murmured to himself, "Who took you away?"
He could clearly feel a powerful aura remaining on this mountain peak.
He closed his eyes, released his spiritual sense, and carefully felt the changes around him.
Suddenly, his deep amber eyes opened again.
Then, he disappeared from the spot and followed the remaining aura.
