Qing Xuan let out a sneaky laugh. When he turned to look at Jiang Yaoji, his eyes were filled with coldness.
Jiang Yaoji was too lazy to waste any more words on them. With a wave of her hand, a group of people from the Moon - Gazing Pavilion charged forward.
Ji Yunxi was about to draw her sword to resist, but Feng Xingzhi held her hand. "Don't be hasty. Save your spiritual energy for now. It's a way to conserve your strength."
She knew that these small fries were not much of a threat for the time being, so she hid behind Qing Xuan and Feng Xingzhi.
Jiang Yaoji watched from afar. "Ji Yunxi, I didn't expect that after a trip to Kunlun Mountain, you'd act like a coward."
"None of your business!" Qing Xuan cut off a man's head with a single sword strike. He couldn't stand anyone saying anything bad about his master, so he immediately retorted.
"Humph, you're really an interesting bird. If you defect to me now, I might keep you around for amusement."
Her tone was full of humiliation towards Qing Xuan. Enraged, he said, "Keep me? Sorry, it's a tradition in the Black - Bird Clan that we'll never follow a master as ugly and vicious as you!"
Hearing this, Jiang Yaoji was unhappy. With her status, she surely couldn't be considered ugly!
"You stupid bird. Kill him for me."
Upon hearing the order, the people from the Moon - Gazing Pavilion immediately changed their direction and targeted Qing Xuan.
Ji Yunxi whispered a warning, "Be careful. The people from the Moon - Gazing Pavilion are not good people. They use dirty tricks constantly."
Qing Xuan nodded. "It's okay. Even if we're in water, if necessary, I'll lead them to the flood dragon."
Feng Xingzhi was a bit surprised. He hadn't expected such a move. "You're quite smart."
"Who do you think my master is? I'm her contracted spiritual beast!" As he spoke, the first man charged forward with his sword drawn. Qing Xuan clasped his hands together and instantly formed a spiritual spell, which he then shot out.
That man clearly underestimated Qing Xuan's ability. With a splash, he fell into the water.
Jiang Yin watched Qing Xuan's actions nervously. "Master, I'll go too..."
"No need," Jiang Yaoji stopped him. "Why are you in such a hurry? Let's have some fun first."
She waved her hand and ordered someone to bring a chair. She sat down carelessly on the shore, as if watching a play.
Seeing the fate of the first man, the following people immediately became vigilant. They exchanged glances and quickly formed a strange formation.
Fearing that something might go wrong, Feng Xingzhi gathered his spiritual energy in his sword and struck hard, shattering the formation they had just formed.
Ji Yunxi saw that these people were really no match, so she stood alone not far away.
Turning her head, she suddenly saw Gao Wanwan who had just surfaced.
She was the weakest among them. After finally getting out, she found that the fight on the water was in full swing.
Ji Yunxi noticed her. Taking advantage of the distraction, she quickly reached out and pulled her out. She whispered to Gao Wanwan, "Wanwan, there's no time for a reunion. You should leave first. I must have a fight here today. As you can see, this is no joke."
Gao Wanwan was reluctant to leave. In her heart, Ji Yunxi and Feng Xingzhi were her saviors. Although she had promised to keep her distance from them before, in her heart, she never really meant it.
"Yunxi, you and the prince saved my life. I will never leave you alone at this time. That would be ungrateful."
Ji Yunxi frowned slightly. "Wanwan, the word 'ungrateful' is not used like this. Listen, you leave first and go to the nearest Dream - Splendor Pavilion. Tell the steward about our situation. He'll know what to do."
Saying this, she put her Dream - Splendor Token into Gao Wanwan's hand. "We're counting on you."
Gao Wanwan was shocked to see what was in her hand. She didn't expect Ji Yunxi to have a connection with the Dream - Splendor Pavilion.
But her shock only lasted for a moment. After all, Ji Yunxi had been a person with superior spiritual energy since birth. It didn't seem so strange that she had a connection with the Dream - Splendor Pavilion.
"Should I just report your name when I get there?"
"Just say that the pavilion master is in trouble and ask for immediate support."
Gao Wanwan gasped. She thought Ji Yunxi was just a disciple of the Dream - Splendor Pavilion master, but she didn't expect her to be the pavilion master!
But there was no time to think about it. She knew that she really couldn't help here, so she immediately nodded in agreement. She dived back into the water and swam secretly to the other side of the river. Then she quietly left.
Unfortunately, all her small actions were seen by the spy sent by Jiang Yaoji to patrol. The spy initially thought it was okay to ignore her, but was afraid that she might ruin their plan, so he immediately went to Jiang Yaoji.
"Master, a woman just sneaked away from the other side of the river."
Jiang Yaoji stared at the three people on the lake and sneered. "Do I need to be bothered with a little mouse? Just kill her."
The spy was stunned. He didn't expect Jiang Yaoji to be so cruel. He watched as Jiang Yaoji casually pointed, and five people with superior cultivation stepped out of the crowd.
"Kill without mercy."
"Yes!"
The few people quickly disappeared into the crowd and chased in the direction where Gao Wanwan had left.
Ji Yunxi didn't notice the change on Jiang Yaoji's side. She still firmly refused to take action and stood in the protective area of the two men.
Feng Xingzhi took out his sword, Nian Feng, and cooperated with Qing Xuan all the way.
Qing Xuan attracted most of the firepower, while Feng Xingzhi, relying on his powerful spiritual energy and sword skills, directly took out the people who were surrounding him.
Then he attacked from behind the group that was targeting Qing Xuan. The two of them actually surrounded the group.
Jiang Yaoji watched from the shore with cold eyes. "A bunch of idiots."
Seeing that the two of them easily knocked down this group of people from the Moon - Gazing Pavilion, making them fall into the water one by one, and still safely protected Ji Yunxi behind them, Jiang Yaoji curled her lips into a smile. "Jiang Yin, send another group up."
She just wanted to see how long Ji Yunxi could keep hiding.
Jiang Yin nodded slightly. With a wave of his hand, another group of people stepped forward and charged towards them without hesitation.
Seeing the same number of people charging up, Qing Xuan was furious. "Is she crazy? What on earth does she want? These people can't stop us at all. If she just sends this few people each time, we'll be fighting forever!"
Qing Xuan took a deep breath. "And are these people out of their minds? Don't they know that they'll just end up like the previous ones, dying at our hands? Why are they so loyal?"
Ji Yunxi said in a calm voice, "They may not be truly loyal. Jiang Yaoji must have some ulterior motive for doing this. Do you think she's a simple person?"
"I really can't remember who she is. I just think she looks a bit familiar, but I can't remember where I've seen her."
Ji Yunxi was secretly shocked. In all her past lives, Qing Xuan had never appeared. How could he suddenly have an impression of Jiang Yaoji?
"Qing Xuan, why do you think she looks familiar?!"
