The Bai Ze is an auspicious beast with the mildest temper. However, at this moment, its eyes were blood - red as it stared intently at their group.
Ji Yunxi noticed something was amiss. She tugged on Feng Xingzhi's sleeve and said, "This should be the Bai Ze."
"But the Bai Ze is docile. It shouldn't act like this. And why would it suddenly appear in this long - frozen canyon?"
Ji Yunxi turned to look at Hua Siyun. After making sure she was safe, she turned back and said, "I don't know. But according to the Bai Ze's habits, it couldn't have lived here before. Even if we woke it up, it shouldn't be so ferocious and full of hostility."
As the two of them were chatting, Hua Siyun felt a bit nervous standing behind them. But after all, she had seen the Taowu. The Bai Ze was different from the ferocious beasts, so she wasn't that scared.
"Let's think about how to save our lives first. I think it's about to attack us," she said.
Ji Yunxi turned to Hua Siyun and her guards and said, "This auspicious beast is acting strangely. Let's dodge quickly."
Right after she finished speaking, the Bai Ze attacked without hesitation.
Feng Xingzhi instinctively summoned his sword and blocked the attack.
The Bai Ze seemed to notice that Feng Xingzhi was somewhat capable and became interested immediately. It paced around him, as if thinking that this person was quite powerful.
Ji Yunxi also wanted to summon Nian Yun. Just as she was about to use her spiritual power, Feng Xingzhi stopped her.
He remembered that Rong Hua had told him not to let Ji Yunxi get hurt and it was best that she didn't use her spiritual power. So he said to her, "You've just recovered from a serious injury, and Master told us not to use spiritual power. You go first. I'll hold them off."
Ji Yunxi was a bit reluctant, but looking at Feng Xingzhi's determined eyes, she gritted her teeth and said, "Don't push yourself too hard. The best strategy is to run."
Feng Xingzhi smiled and said, "I understand."
The Bai Ze noticed that Feng Xingzhi didn't seem to be fully focused on dealing with it. It let out a series of dissatisfied growls.
Ji Yunxi knew that if she stayed, she would only be a burden. She stomped her foot, told them to be careful, and then turned around and left.
But as soon as she turned around, a person appeared behind her.
A sense of familiarity hit her. Ji Yunxi immediately saw the familiar sword in her hand. Looking at the person, it was indeed Ji Yuyan.
"Humph, my dear elder sister, long time no see," Ji Yuyan sneered.
She was hovering in the air, looking down at Ji Yunxi with disdain on her face.
Hua Siyun saw that Ji Yunxi wasn't helping Feng Xingzhi but was about to leave. She was a bit dissatisfied and stepped forward, saying, "Yunxi, why are you going back? Can Brother Xingzhi handle it alone?"
"Pfft, still concerned about others?" Hearing Hua Siyun's words, Ji Yuyan scoffed, "Better concern yourself!"
Hua Siyun was annoyed. She looked up at her and said, "Aren't you tired of floating in the air? Stop showing off!"
Ji Yuyan was stunned. She didn't expect Hua Siyun to scold her.
"You're asking for death!"
"Yo, you've got quite a big mouth," Hua Siyun waved her hand. A group of guards surrounded her and confronted Ji Yuyan.
Ji Yunxi stared at Ji Yuyan's face. She knew that she was probably even more powerful than before. So she whispered to Hua Siyun, "Don't argue with her. Take the people and go find Azhi quickly."
Hua Siyun snorted and turned to leave.
Ji Yuyan thought Ji Yunxi also wanted to leave. She immediately pointed her sword at Ji Yunxi and said, "Where do you think you're going? Today is your death day!"
Hua Siyun, who had just taken two steps, laughed out loud and said, "Many powerful spiritual practitioners have said the same thing to her, but without exception, they all failed. Who do you think you are?"
Every word of Hua Siyun irritated Ji Yuyan. Her face was full of anger as she gritted her teeth and said, "I'll deal with you after I kill her. Don't be so smug."
Feng Xingzhi also saw Ji Yuyan's appearance on the other side. Sensing the unfathomable spiritual power on her, he didn't care about anything else and quickly rushed to Ji Yunxi's side to protect her.
When the Bai Ze saw that its toy was gone, it was definitely unhappy. It roared and rushed towards the crowd.
Feng Xingzhi pulled the guard captain and said, "It's huge but hates agility."
The other person immediately understood and gathered the guards to stop the Bai Ze.
After all, they were from the Beidi royal family. These guards were very capable, especially in light - footed skills, which were beyond doubt.
Together with Hua Siyun, they would appear in the Bai Ze's sight from time to time and attack it from all directions.
The Bai Ze immediately understood what they were trying to do. It seemed to be mocking their over - confidence.
Then, the giant Bai Ze gradually shrank. Its huge body deflated like a punctured balloon. In a short while, it was as big as an ordinary tiger.
Seeing this, the guards immediately pounced on it. However, the Bai Ze wasn't stupid. It knew they wanted to use speed to entangle its huge body. But now that it had shrunk, it was even faster than them!
Sure enough, the guards couldn't even catch up with the Bai Ze and were even led around in circles.
Feng Xingzhi saw this scene from afar and felt a bit anxious. The Bai Ze was acting strangely now, extremely furious.
It might think you're interesting one second, but the next second, it might strike hard.
Ji Yuyan was unhappy. One of them didn't say a word, and the other was looking in another direction, as if she didn't exist at all.
Furious, Ji Yuyan couldn't care about anything else. She raised her sword and was about to attack.
However, the expected resistance from Ji Yunxi didn't come. Instead, Feng Xingzhi raised his sword to fight against her.
"Feng Xingzhi, what's so good about Ji Yunxi? I've heard that the little princess of Beidi has been in love with you for a long time. Is it interesting to be with a sickly person?"
Feng Xingzhi's eyes were cold. He didn't even bother to talk to her.
"Do you know that back then, Ji Yunxi agreed to marry you because I begged her to give up Su Ningyuan to me. She never liked you!"
Ji Yuyan thought she had hit the pain point under their loving surface. But Ji Yunxi had the memories of her previous lives and had told Feng Xingzhi everything in detail.
The two of them were no longer the original Ji Yunxi and Feng Xingzhi.
"Thank you then. Even if she doesn't like me, it's enough that I like her," Feng Xingzhi said.
Feng Xingzhi's words hit Ji Yuyan's pain point precisely. What she minded the most was that Su Ningyuan had flatly rejected the marriage back then, and then there was Qiao's death.
Now, Feng Xingzhi's attitude clearly showed that no matter what kind of person Ji Yunxi was, he liked her.
One sentence shattered Ji Yuyan's fragile heart.
She rushed towards Ji Yunxi with full - blown anger but was firmly blocked by Feng Xingzhi again.
The Bai Ze also sensed the killing intent here and became extremely angry.
Hua Siyun and the guards keenly noticed the change in the Bai Ze. They wanted to dodge but couldn't. They simply couldn't resist its attack.
Ji Yunxi stepped back so as not to cause trouble for Feng Xingzhi.
Seeing this, Ji Yuyan sneered, "Ji Yunxi, why are you being a coward today?"
