To activate the teleportation, a formation needed to be set up, and it took time to activate the formation.
The disciples around the woman watched as Hua Siyun and the other two were about to disappear from sight. They immediately grew extremely anxious and wanted to interrupt their spell - casting.
Ji Yunxi released her spiritual energy to force the crowd back: "Azhi!"
Feng Xingzhi instantly understood her meaning. He turned around and, together with Du Tianchen, blocked those who were attacking Ji Yunxi.
Ji Yunxi then entered a meditative state to stabilize the entire teleportation formation.
The woman and her two maids stood steadily on the spot, watching the chaotic scene with an air of calm command.
The maid felt a bit anxious seeing that no one could get close. She whispered to the woman, "My lady, why don't we stop them from teleporting away?"
The woman chuckled, "Don't be hasty. I didn't come here for the keys. I just want to know how powerful this girl is. Even Lu Chengming suffered a great loss at her hands."
The maid understood upon hearing this, "I see. I was being stupid."
"If you could think of this, I'd be worried," the woman turned her head. Although she was smiling, there was no real warmth in her eyes. Instead, there was a hint of killing intent.
The maid was startled and quickly knelt down, "Please spare me, my lady! I said the wrong thing!"
The woman waved her hand without saying a word.
Thanks to Ji Yunxi's protection, Li Jiuge and the other two were safely teleported away.
Ji Yunxi finally had time to deal with these people. She turned her head and looked at the approaching crowd with a smile, "Everyone, now we only have three keys left. I wonder how you're going to divide them after you snatch them?"
The crowd suddenly fell silent. A thin man whispered to the scar - faced man beside the leading woman, "Brother, this woman won't share them with us if she gets them. She even brought two maids with her!"
The woman's eyes darkened.
The scar - faced man thought it made sense after hearing this, "You're right. Didn't she just kill one of her maids?"
It turned out that although the leading woman hadn't spoken out to punish her maid, someone had done it for her.
If she could kill someone who had always been by her side without batting an eye, what about them?
The looks of the people around her gradually changed.
The woman knew that Ji Yunxi was trying to sow discord. She immediately blushed with anger, "Are you all out of your minds? Is this the time to discuss how to divide them? The keys aren't even in our hands yet. We can discuss it after we get them."
Unfortunately, the thin man didn't listen to her words at all. He only thought about his own interests. If he followed this woman, he would never get what he wanted.
"Unless you promise to give one key to each of my brother and me after you get the keys, otherwise we won't do it."
The scar - faced man nodded, "That's right. We're leaving one for you too, aren't we?"
They thought they were being reasonable, but before the leading woman could answer, the others refused.
"Wait a minute. We all came here together. Why are you only giving keys to them and not to us?!"
"That's right! It's each man for himself! If you have the ability, go and snatch them!"
For a moment, the crowd began to quarrel noisily.
This was exactly the scene Ji Yunxi wanted to see. Sending her second brother and the others away earlier was also for this convenience. There were six keys before, and their attention was all on the keys. But now there were only three, and how to divide them had become a big problem.
Du Tianchen looked at Ji Yunxi with admiration on his face.
This woman was really amazing. He thought they would have to fight a bloody battle, but a single word from her had made them turn against each other.
Ji Yunxi snorted and pulled Feng Xingzhi and Du Tianchen, "While they're making a ruckus, let's go first."
The three of them turned around and were about to teleport away with the keys. Feeling the teleportation formation being activated, Ji Yunxi watched the farce below with a smile.
The woman was entangled by others and constantly asked how to divide the keys, which made her unable to attend to other matters.
Fortunately, her maid was quick - witted. Seeing Ji Yunxi and the other two about to leave, she quickly pulled her mistress, "My lady! They're about to run away!"
The woman exclaimed upon seeing this, "Stop!"
Her voice was so loud that it immediately stopped the noisy people around her. They then came to their senses. Looking at the almost disappearing figures of Ji Yunxi and the others, they immediately rushed forward.
Ji Yunxi closed her eyes helplessly.
"Alright, it seems this fight is inevitable."
Feng Xingzhi nodded and put his hand on his sword, while Du Tianchen was a bit excited, "Let's fight. I've wanted to beat them up for a long time!"
The formation was interrupted, and Ji Yunxi appeared in front of the crowd again.
The thin man pointed his sword at her, "Don't even think about running away! Put down the keys! What's the use of a woman like you going to Kunlun? Go home and nurse your baby!"
His words were full of disdain, and his vulgar tone made the people around him burst into laughter.
Feng Xingzhi hated anyone saying anything bad about his Yunxi. His eyes darkened, and he suddenly rushed out, mobilizing his spiritual energy.
Before the crowd could react, they only heard a scream. There was a big handprint on the man's face, and his hand tendons had been severed.
Then they saw Feng Xingzhi had already returned to the edge of the formation.
The crowd was terrified and stood still on the spot.
The scar - faced man was stunned at first, and then shouted, "Brother! I'll fight you!"
However, before he could get close to them, he was knocked to the ground by Du Tianchen, "Fight? With what?"
The woman was starting to get restless. Ji Yunxi hadn't even made a move yet, but the people around her were so powerful. When Feng Xingzhi flew over, he was right beside her, and she didn't even have a chance to react.
She was suddenly afraid to speak.
And she wasn't the only one who was afraid. These people thought that although they wanted to pass this level, it didn't mean they had to lose their lives. They could just come back next year. If they died, they would have nothing.
Gradually, some people turned around and left silently, and some even clasped their fists at Feng Xingzhi, "I admit defeat!"
The woman watched these people leave. Although she was very resentful in her heart, she didn't dare to stand up directly.
After a while, only half of the people were left.
Desperation breeds courage. These people thought that even if the others were powerful, they couldn't withstand their large numbers. So they decided to stay and take a chance.
Ji Yunxi laughed when she saw this situation, "It seems the ones who remain are all brave warriors. But there are quite a few of you left. As for how you're going to divide them, I have a good suggestion. How about you all go at once? Whoever grabs it gets it."
As she spoke, three keys suddenly appeared in her hand. The people's eyes lit up when they saw the keys.
She threw the keys into the air and locked them there with her spiritual energy.
Then a group of people started to scramble for them. Soon they were in a melee. Only the leading woman and her maid were still standing there, unmoved.
Ji Yunxi looked at her from afar with a contemptuous smile on her lips, "This is really interesting."
