The sounds of fighting outside were still intense.
Ji Yunxi opened the door with a solemn look. A group of dark figures were flying back and forth in front of her eyes, using the sky above the Prime Minister's Mansion as their fighting arena.
Powerful people all loathed such unruly provocations, and she was no exception.
Staring intently, Ji Yunxi noticed that these black - clothed men were almost identical in appearance to the ones from the Moon - Watching Pavilion who had attacked her in Xirong.
They all wore black clothes, and even their movements during the fight were extremely similar.
Frowning, Ji Yunxi recalled that in the battle in Xirong, she had almost lost her life due to the depletion of her spiritual power. She hadn't even gone after them, yet here they came on their own?
Nianyun seemed to sense its master's anger and exuded a blood - thirsty killing intent along with her.
Ji Yunxi didn't rush forward immediately. Instead, she noticed that they were currently surrounding and attacking another black - clothed man.
Although they all wore black clothes, she could still tell the difference. The black clothes he wore were made of black brocade. The moves he used to respond were also different from those of the Moon - Watching Pavilion. His actions were more straightforward and efficient.
During a moment when he counterattacked, Ji Yunxi clearly saw something glowing around his waist.
It looked extremely familiar. She always felt like she had seen it somewhere...
Suddenly, she remembered that this black - clothed man had once appeared on her eaves. She had wanted to chase after him, but found that the man had profound spiritual power and managed to escape.
It was really him!
Ji Yunxi was full of curiosity about this man. Coupled with the grudge against the Moon - Watching Pavilion, she thought that for now, this man didn't seem to be her enemy.
So she spun onto the roof. Her white figure stood in sharp contrast to the night.
When the man in black brocade saw Ji Yunxi, his eyes behind the mask showed a moment of stupefaction. In that instant, the other black - clothed men quickly surrounded him.
Ji Yunxi thought it was bad. If he had been barely able to hold his own against so many people before, this moment of distraction had cost him the initiative, and in an instant, he was at a disadvantage.
With a light tap of her toes, she flew gracefully from the roof. Nianyun was unsheathed in an instant, showing a menacing aura under the moonlight.
Mobilizing her spiritual power, the sword energy of Nianyun directly knocked back the outermost black - clothed men. With stifled groans, several of them were sent flying. Ji Yunxi took the opportunity to break into the encirclement and came in front of the man in black brocade.
"Are you still in a daze at a time like this?"
Ji Yunxi's scolding words brought the man back to his senses. He squinted his good - looking eyes and then directly turned his back to her.
Ji Yunxi understood his intention very tacitly and also left her back to him. She gently turned her wrist, and the blade of Nianyun reflected light directly into the faces of the black - clothed men.
Their eyes were dazzled, and the next second, a black - clothed man fell hard to the ground.
A smile curled up on Ji Yunxi's lips, and her eyes were full of surprise. She hadn't fought for a long time. When she mobilized her spiritual power just now, she felt an unprecedented smoothness, as if everything was in perfect harmony. All her spiritual power was no longer suppressed, and it had even greatly increased compared to before.
Her skills not only surprised herself but also made the black - clothed men stop.
They were obviously a bit afraid of the sword in her hand. They immediately exchanged glances and then attacked together, shifting their target to her.
The man in black brocade noticed the change in the formation of the black - clothed men and immediately protected Ji Yunxi by her side, afraid that they would really hurt her.
The wheel - style battle began.
The black - clothed men rushed up one by one. Even if they couldn't defeat her, they didn't retreat at all.
This kind of unorganized fighting style made it difficult for Ji Yunxi to find a way to deal with them for a while. She knew that the other side was trying to consume her physical strength, but at this moment, she couldn't break free.
Seeing that they were about to wake up the entire Prime Minister's Mansion, Ji Yunxi didn't want her two elder brothers to know that she had the memories of her previous life. So instead of defending while attacking, she directly charged forward.
A guy standing a bit far away among the black - clothed men, whose face couldn't be seen clearly, sneered, "Overestimating your abilities!"
Saying that, he also pushed through the hard - fighting crowd and confronted Ji Yunxi with his sword.
Unfortunately, in Nianyun's eyes, this man's sword was vulnerable. In front of him, it was broken and sent flying.
For a killer, without a sword, he was nothing.
What Ji Yunxi gave him was not only a counter - attack but also a fatal blow.
The man was directly injured by the sword energy and trembled as he was about to fall off the building.
Ji Yunxi felt that her whole body was filled with spiritual power, which made her feel very comfortable. "Come again?"
The black - clothed men looked at each other and then launched a more fierce attack.
Ji Yunxi was momentarily careless and ignored the danger behind her. Fortunately, the man in black brocade acted quickly. His eyes were filled with coldness, and his movements became more ruthless.
The two of them had their backs to each other but were surprisingly in sync. Finally, the black - clothed men had to grit their teeth secretly and say, "Retreat!"
A wise man knows when to yield. These people felt Ji Yunxi's powerful spiritual cultivation and were also afraid of the sword in her hand. Seeing that they couldn't defeat her, they didn't linger and quickly retreated.
Suddenly, only Ji Yunxi and the man in black brocade robe were left in the yard.
Because they had been surrounded before, the two of them were very close. When Ji Yunxi turned her head, she bumped into the man.
His eyes were very beautiful. Her figure was reflected in his dark pupils, and his long eyelashes were distinct. Even though he was masked, Ji Yunxi was sure that this man must be very good - looking.
But his eyes were very familiar.
"Why are they chasing you?" Ji Yunxi took a small step back. Nianyun was still in her hand, but she didn't point the sharp side at him.
The man in black brocade remained silent and shook his head.
"You don't know?" Ji Yunxi frowned, not sure if this man's words were trustworthy.
What reason could make a group of people chase and kill a person?
After a moment of thought, she seemed to understand. The Moon - Watching Pavilion had attacked her in Xirong before. Their appearance here this time might not be for this man but for herself.
Then why did they surround and attack this man?
Ji Yunxi lowered her head. When she looked up, she suddenly saw the glow around the man's waist. Now that the two of them were not far apart, she clearly saw that the glow was a token with the character "Jiang" written on it.
Others might not recognize this token, but as the master of the Dream - Flower Pavilion, how could she not recognize that this was the "Jiang" of Jiang Yunxi herself!
The man noticed that Ji Yunxi was staring at his token. He immediately understood what was going on. He tightly covered his token with one hand, shifted his gaze, and then turned to leave.
Ji Yunxi had let him escape once. How could there be a second time?!
She immediately guessed this man's identity. There had been a sign the first time he came.
That day, she had just agreed to the marriage with Feng Xingzhi. According to that man's personality, how could he bear it?
Having figured it out, Ji Yunxi stepped on the ground and flew directly in front of him.
When the man saw that his way forward was blocked, he immediately wanted to turn back. But as soon as he turned his head, he heard a call from behind.
"Azhi!"
The man's steps faltered, and he stood there completely stunned.
