The servant informed Lü Chengming of Ji Yunxi's interrogation.
He had thought Ji Yunxi would come to beg for mercy by now. But to his surprise, she was still as arrogant as ever. The angrier he got the more he thought about it. Lü Chengming snatched the Dongzhu pearl from the servant's hand and walked into the mist.
It turned out that the mist was actually a formation. With the Dongzhu pearl in hand, one could make the mist recede within the range of one's outstretched arms.
Just thinking about killing Ji Yunxi soon made Lü Chengming feel extremely happy. Moreover, Ji Yunxi was so good - looking. If he could have some fun with her before killing her, it would surely be the best!
Ji Yunxi had no idea that the other person had such a filthy thought. She pulled Feng Xingzhi and Ji Yunyi and protected Li Jiuge in the middle.
The person hiding in the dark finally spoke up and sneered, "All of you will die here today, especially you - Ji Yunxi."
The lewd tone of this person's speech immediately made them recognize it as Lü Chengming's voice.
Li Jiuge couldn't help but curse, "You're so despicable!"
Hearing this, Lü Chengming burst into laughter. "I am despicable. What can you do about it? You humiliated me in public today, and it's reasonable for me to come and take your lives."
When Ji Yunxi heard his voice, joy immediately welled up in her eyes.
This fool must not have played hide - and - seek when he was a child. Otherwise, how could he be so stupid as to talk to her on his own initiative?
She turned to give Feng Xingzhi a look, hooked the corner of her lips, and immediately continued to mock Lü Chengming. "I humiliated you? Are you blaming me because you're useless?"
Lü Chengming was so angry that he felt like spitting blood. "Nonsense! I'm the son of the prime minister of the Eastern Jin Dynasty!"
"So what? No matter how powerful you are, you're just relying on your father's name. My power is earned by myself. What do you have to be proud of?"
Li Jiuge immediately understood what Ji Yunxi meant. She wanted to take the opportunity to probe, delay time, and lead Lü Chengming over.
She knew she had the ability to piss people off. After reacting, she immediately spoke up too. "Yunxi, most people would hide after getting beaten, but Young Master Lü just can't wait for the whole world to know. After getting hit on the left cheek, he even offers his right cheek. Isn't that ridiculous?"
"Shut up... Shut up!"
Lü Chengming flew into a rage and quickened his pace of approaching.
Hearing his footsteps gradually become disordered, Ji Yunxi knew that the person was coming soon.
Li Jiuge and Ji Yunyi immediately squatted down on the spot and found a tree as a cover. Ji Yunxi and Feng Xingzhi, on the other hand, activated their spiritual power to lighten their footsteps and chased after the sound of Lü Chengming.
While chasing, Ji Yunxi didn't stop talking. "Is that all you've got? You must not have set up this fog. Your ability... is only a little better than my servants. Do you even have to rely on others for revenge? You're such a useless piece of trash."
Lü Chengming slowly stopped, his eyes bloodshot. "You don't have to be so tough - mouthed when you're about to die. So what if I rely on others?"
Hearing this, Ji Yunxi glanced at Feng Xingzhi. Sure enough, Lü Chengming didn't come alone.
The two of them didn't dare to step forward rashly. Since he still had helpers and they didn't know where the powerful ones were, they couldn't just go up and throw their lives away.
Ji Yunxi suddenly thought that since this fog was neither spiritual power nor naturally formed, it must be formed by some kind of formation combination.
She immediately looked at Feng Xingzhi and gestured a disc - like shape with her hand.
Feng Xingzhi immediately understood her gesture and look. She wanted him to find the eye of the fog formation. Once it was destroyed, the fog would naturally disappear.
Ji Yunxi spoke up again. "The thing you used to attack me just now, was it a sleeve dart?"
Feng Xingzhi knew that Ji Yunxi was buying time for him. He immediately squatted down silently, pressed one hand on the soil, and spread his spiritual power to search for the eye of the fog formation.
Hearing Ji Yunxi's words, Lü Chengming thought that he should at least let Ji Yunxi die knowing the truth. Besides, he wasn't a fool. Sang Qingzhou wanted to use him as a sword, but he couldn't just be used in vain.
"You have good eyesight. Yes, it was a sleeve dart. A person specially gave it to me just before I entered the formation."
Ji Yunxi's eyes darkened. It seemed that Lü Chengming was just a pawn. As for who was behind him, Ji Yunxi couldn't be sure for a moment. After all, there was Sang Qingzhou at this conference, and there might also be Ji Yuyan who was missing.
"Specially? I don't see you using it very well."
Lü Chengming snorted. "It doesn't matter whether I use it well or not. As long as you die, it's enough."
Feng Xingzhi stood up and shook his head at Ji Yunxi.
Ji Yunxi let out a sigh. Since they couldn't find the eye of the formation, they would have to make Lü Chengming come to them.
She glanced in the direction where the sound came from. Feng Xingzhi immediately understood, and the two of them flew towards the sound.
Suddenly, Lü Chengming couldn't hear Ji Yunxi's voice anymore. He felt a little nervous and looked around.
"Ji Yunxi? Come out!"
Suddenly, faint footsteps began to be heard around. Lü Chengming felt a chill down his back. He began to regret his hasty decision to come in. He slowly swallowed his saliva and took a step back.
Ji Yunyi and Li Jiuge were squatting in place.
"Second brother, should we follow them?"
"Or..." Before Ji Yunyi could finish speaking, he suddenly felt his clothes being grabbed by something. He looked down and saw that it was the little beast that had gotten lost before.
It looked at Ji Yunyi pitifully, then climbed directly onto his knee. Its little arms, not even as long as a hand, pointed in the direction of Ji Yunxi and Feng Xingzhi, as if telling Ji Yunyi the way.
Li Jiuge whispered, "Second brother, we can't just sit and wait for death. Maybe Lü Chengming brought people in. We have to move at any time to save our lives."
After thinking for a while, Ji Yunyi decided to take a gamble. He stood up, took Li Jiuge, and walked in the direction the little beast was pointing.
Feng Xingzhi and Ji Yunxi deliberately made some noise to scare Lü Chengming, while they quietly searched for the source of the sound in the mist.
Suddenly, Ji Yunxi found a black shadow. To verify the identity of the person, she deliberately made noise on both sides. Sure enough, the person also dodged left and right.
Ji Yunxi hooked her lips into a smile and instantly drew Nianyun and stabbed at the black shadow. The person let out a muffled groan - it was indeed Lü Chengming.
Feng Xingzhi caught up. They finally walked out of the mist and saw the person lying on the ground covering his chest.
"Young Master Lü, long time no see?" Ji Yunxi pointed her sword at him. "I'll give you one more chance. Tell me clearly whose death day it is today?"
Lü Chengming's eyes were full of panic. His heart sank. The huge killing aura of Nianyun made his wound many times more painful than an ordinary sword wound. He was lying on the ground and hardly had the ability to stand up.
Li Jiuge and Ji Yunyi heard the noise from afar. This time, the little beast pointed in the right direction.
When they came to Lü Chengming's side, they found that the mist had receded a little.
Li Jiuge took off her blindfold, adapted for a moment, and then opened her eyes. Sure enough, her vision returned to normal.
Looking down, she saw Lü Chengming. She was so angry that she stepped forward and kicked him hard.
"You crazy bastard!"
