Not far away, a man happened to overhear Lu Chengming's muttering. He slightly curled his lips.
This man was none other than Sang Qingzhou. Knowing that Ji Yunxi was coming to register, he had been hiding aside to avoid any conflict with them.
However, this didn't mean that Sang Qingzhou was willing to let go of his grudge against them.
Hearing Lu Chengming's muttering, he knew that his sword was coming.
In the distance, the disciples from Kunlun Mountain who were in charge of the registration earlier were standing on a high platform, seemingly oblivious to what had just happened.
"Everyone, the registration is now complete. You may now enter the mountain gate."
After saying that, they all stepped aside in unison, and a broad avenue gradually emerged behind the huge mountain gate.
The road that appeared out of thin air filled many people with yearning. Even Ji Yunxi, who had originally had no intention of truly practicing cultivation, felt a glimmer of interest.
The crowd slowly made their way inside. Sang Qingzhou kept his eyes on Lu Chengming, following him at a distance.
There was a woman beside Sang Qingzhou. Seeing her cousin constantly following that arrogant playboy from earlier, Sang Lianyi was quite puzzled.
"Cousin, what are you looking at?"
"Lianyi, I'm going to join hands with Lu Chengming."
Hearing this, Sang Lianyi was even more confused. "Join hands? For the upcoming trial?"
Sang Qingzhou curled his lips into a smile, his eyes filled with malice. "Of course not. How could such a good - for - nothing be my partner?"
"Then why... Why did you choose him? He's not a good person." Sang Lianyi had also seen everyone in the crowd and found Lu Chengming's previous actions quite repulsive.
"He's indeed not a good person, but he hates Ji Yunxi, and so do I. That's enough."
Sang Lianyi knew a thing or two about Sang Qingzhou being captured by the Dream Blossom Pavilion earlier. Disgust inadvertently flashed in her eyes. Her cousin was idle and lawless, robbing people in the street, and yet he still got captured in his own home. It was really laughable, and he even had the nerve to talk about it.
Sang Lianyi could tell that Ji Yunxi was highly skilled. Going against her would surely lead to no good. Moreover, she just wanted to go up the mountain to seek cultivation and didn't want to cause any trouble. So she tried to persuade him indirectly. "Cousin, what right does Lu Chengming have to want to kill Ji Yunxi? And do you think the two of you with your spiritual power cultivation can defeat Ji Yunxi?"
Sang Qingzhou's face stiffened. "What do you mean by that? Do you mean you're not going to help me?"
Sang Lianyi knew that Sang Qingzhou didn't bring her along out of kindness. He must have had some ulterior motive. But now that they were already here, she was too lazy to play nice with him. "I don't want to get involved in these things. I just want to be admitted to Kunlun and seriously practice cultivation."
Sang Qingzhou got angry and grabbed her hand. "We're both from the Sang family. We rise and fall together. Do you think you can stay out of this?"
Sang Lianyi said coldly with a straight face. "I don't want to avoid it. I just don't want to go to my death. Now we're on Kunlun's territory, and we might enter the illusion realm. If she kills you in the illusion realm, who can save you?"
"Stop talking. If you want to go, go. I won't care about your affairs from now on."
Sang Lianyi gave him a serious look, then bowed slightly. "Thank you, cousin, for taking care of me along the way."
After saying that, she walked into the crowd alone and didn't look back.
Sang Qingzhou tightly clenched his fists, and his eyes became increasingly sinister.
On the other side, Ji Yunxi was resting beside Feng Xingzhi and didn't intend to jostle with the crowd.
Hua Siyun walked up to her and suddenly said, "You did well."
Then she turned around and left with her guards. Hearing this, Li Jiuge's eyes widened in disbelief. "Yunxi! She, she!"
Ji Yunxi helplessly shook her head. She had fought with Lu Chengming not for Hua Siyun but for Hua Qi'an. So she didn't really care about Hua Siyun's rudeness.
Li Jiuge stared at Hua Siyun's back, getting angrier and angrier. "What does she mean by that?! It's as if we're doing things for her!"
"That's right. She's so rude!" Ji Yunyi immediately chimed in.
"I don't believe she can make it to the end like this!"
"She even pulled my brother - in - law aside to talk. If I didn't have a rule against hitting women, I'd definitely throw her out!"
Li Jiuge couldn't help but burst out laughing. "Unfortunately, a man wouldn't pull cousin aside either. Hahaha."
"You're right. How about I teach you a few moves next time and you do it?"
The two of them criticized Hua Siyun's back and then started discussing how to protect Ji Yunxi and Feng Xingzhi's marriage.
The more Ji Yunxi listened, the more she wanted to laugh. She couldn't hold it in anymore and lowered her head to hide her smile.
Feng Xingzhi looked at her, reached out and grabbed her hand, and carefully examined her from head to toe.
"Xixi, are you hurt?"
At first, Ji Yunxi thought there was something on her body and was too scared to move. It wasn't until Feng Xingzhi spoke that she realized he was checking to see if she was injured.
She shook her head with a smile. "I'm not hurt. Don't worry. How could he hurt me?"
"That's good. As long as you're not hurt." Saying that, he took Ji Yunxi's hand. "Let's go. There are too many people. If I hold your hand, we won't get separated."
They walked up the road behind the mountain gate. Sang Qingzhou kept following Lu Chengming at a leisurely pace.
He thought he was hiding well, but he didn't know that his every move had already been clearly seen by Lu Chengming.
"Sir, that man has been following us."
"Don't worry about him. Let's see what he's up to. Also, find out his identity."
"Yes."
Sang Qingzhou didn't notice that one of Lu Chengming's attendants had quietly left the group.
All the people were led to a magic formation on the mountainside. The disciple in charge of the reception stepped forward. "Everyone, this is the teleportation magic formation to the illusion realm. One by one, please."
Ji Yunxi glanced at Feng Xingzhi, feeling a bit reluctant. She didn't expect that she had become so dependent on him.
Feng Xingzhi comforted her. "Xixi, don't worry. No matter where you go, I'll find you."
Her heart skipped a beat. She turned around and threw herself into his arms, nodding vigorously. "Okay, I'll wait for you."
Walking into the magic formation, Ji Yunxi felt the surrounding spiritual energy, like a thick fog, enveloping her. The fog grew denser and denser until she couldn't see anything.
A moment later, she was teleported to a world completely created by spiritual power.
Ji Yunxi's eyes were full of shock. No wonder Kunlun Mountain was said to be a place close to the gods. Creating a world with spiritual power seemed incredible no matter how one looked at it.
"Xixi."
Ji Yunxi was still in a daze when Feng Xingzhi had already come behind her. She immediately came to her senses and was overjoyed. "So we won't be separated!"
Feng Xingzhi paused for a moment, then smiled with his eyes and eyebrows. "So Xixi also doesn't want to be separated from me?"
Ji Yunyi followed closely behind and heard what Feng Xingzhi said. He immediately interrupted. "Stop! Pay attention to the occasion! Look, is that an altar?"
They followed Ji Yunyi's gaze and saw several people standing on the huge altar.
The wind ruffled their clothes, as if they were about to float away the next moment.
