Hearing Ji Yunxi reveal the direction they were supposedly going, those men immediately stepped forward.
Qing Xuan was puzzled. Weren't they going to Qinshe Valley? When did they decide to go out to sea?
His big, blinking eyes were full of questions.
Just as he was about to open his mouth to ask something, Qing Xuan suddenly realized that just now, his master had stopped him from approaching those men. It seemed that she had already noticed something. So now, she was just telling lies to deceive them.
Fortunately, he hadn't given himself away. He secretly patted his chest and let out a sigh of relief.
The leader, perhaps overly confident in his disguise, didn't have the slightest suspicion. He led his men on horseback and gradually approached the formation. Ji Yunxi and Feng Xingzhi remained even calmer.
As soon as they stepped into the formation, it immediately activated, trapping the group in the center, unable to move.
The leader naturally didn't expect this change. He tugged at the reins, trying to escape, but even the horse couldn't move.
"Master, what are you doing?!" He still refused to admit defeat and shouted at Ji Yunxi.
Seeing that they had been controlled, Ji Yunxi tore off her mask and sneered, "Master? I can't bear such a title from you."
The leader's heart skipped a beat. Had Ji Yunxi and the others already seen through him?
It shouldn't be possible!
They should have thought he was from the Dream Blossom Pavilion. Where on earth was his flaw?
He just couldn't figure it out, but the confusion on his face was a much better act than before.
"Who is your mastermind?" Ji Yunxi sneered. "You are the fish on the chopping block, and I am the knife. I'm giving you a chance to live."
Unfortunately, at this critical moment, the leader still pretended to be stupid, trying to deceive Ji Yunxi even though she had already seen through him.
"Master, we don't understand what you're saying. We don't have any mastermind. What exactly are you talking about?"
Ji Yunxi wasn't fooled. "Since you won't talk, we don't have the time to waste on you. Azhi, kill them."
Feng Xingzhi cooperated very well. He knew that Yunxi was just pretending to order him to kill them. Still, he quickly raised his hand, and divine power quickly filled his hand, creating a gust of wind.
Any cultivator could tell that Feng Xingzhi was extremely powerful. If they were really hit by him, they would hardly have a chance of survival.
He slightly raised his hand, just about to strike. The leader panicked. He had thought that Ji Yunxi was just bluffing, so he had always refused to speak. Moreover, he thought that as the master of the Dream Blossom Pavilion, Ji Yunxi shouldn't be so on guard against her disciples.
He didn't expect that they would be so ruthless and actually try to kill him. If he hadn't been trapped in the formation, he would definitely have run away.
The man quickly stopped him. "We were just joking with the master..."
He still wanted to struggle desperately, but Ji Yunxi was so angry that she laughed. Since she had given them several chances and they didn't know how to cherish them, then don't blame her for being ruthless.
"Azhi..."
"Wait!"
Just as Ji Yunxi was about to call on Feng Xingzhi to act, a follower beside the leader suddenly spoke up and stopped her.
He couldn't stand it anymore. He could see that these people had high spiritual power. According to his own ability, it was definitely impossible for him to kill them. That would be simply overestimating himself. Moreover, when a group of experts fought, why were they using the lives of their little minions?
He secretly glared at the leader. It was obvious that they had been discovered, but this man still kept arguing. Wasn't he just waiting to die?
He wasn't that stupid. He definitely wouldn't do it!
Thinking of this, he made a decisive decision. Even if he was given more money, he wouldn't do it.
He shouted at the leader, "You can be willing to die for the Jiang family, but I'm not! If you don't want to live, don't drag me down!"
As soon as Ji Yunxi heard the words "Jiang family", she basically knew in her heart. It was Jiang Yaoji again. Her reach was a bit too long.
The man wanted to confess, but was afraid that Ji Yunxi and the others wouldn't spare his life. So he thought of negotiating terms first and asked, "If I tell the truth, will you let me go? They lied to me with money and got me here!"
Ji Yunxi was helpless. It seemed that Jiang Yaoji was so incompetent that even for following them, she had to deceive people with money. It seemed that her days weren't going too well.
"Sure, I can let you go. Speak."
The man gritted his teeth and took a step forward. "We were sent by Jiang Yaoji. She..."
He wanted to say more, but unfortunately, before he could finish, the leader stabbed him through the chest with a sword.
"Useless thing!" The man spat and tore off all his previous disguises.
Feng Xingzhi raised his hand, and a gust of wind approached the leader. Then the human skin mask on his face was torn off. Ji Yunxi took a closer look. Wasn't this the man who followed Jiang Yaoji?
"Jiang Yin." Feng Xingzhi suddenly said his name.
Ji Yunxi looked at him in surprise. "Azhi, you know him?"
"We're old acquaintances. After all, he's been following Jiang Yaoji for hundreds of years."
Ji Yunxi's eyes gradually widened, and she had a guess in her heart. Azhi had recovered more of his memories.
Seeing her expression, Feng Xingzhi quickly explained, "Now that my divine power has returned, I've remembered most things. Naturally, this also includes some things about Jiang Yaoji."
For some reason, Ji Yunxi suddenly thought it would be better if he hadn't explained.
Feng Xingzhi's words just now made it seem like he had been very familiar with Jiang Yaoji before. This made her feel really uncomfortable. Jiang Yaoji's feelings for Feng Xingzhi were obvious to all, but it seemed that they were quite familiar with each other when she didn't know.
Although she knew that this wasn't the time to think about these things, the sour bubbles in her heart still kept rising.
"Xixi?" Feng Xingzhi saw that her complexion wasn't good and asked curiously.
Ji Yunxi took a deep breath and suppressed the unhappiness in her heart first. "I'm fine."
She suddenly broke free from Feng Xingzhi's hand and took a few steps forward. In fact, she had expected that these people were sent by Jiang Yaoji, but she didn't expect that Jiang Yaoji would actually send Jiang Yin to hunt them down.
Even if she didn't have many memories about Jiang Yaoji before and naturally didn't remember who Jiang Yin was, in this life, she could see clearly that Jiang Yin was one of Jiang Yaoji's top generals.
Sending him out so easily, it seemed that Feng Xingzhi's recovery of his memories was really a big deal for Jiang Yaoji.
Ji Yunxi narrowed her eyes. She was even more curious about one thing.
What exactly had Jiang Yaoji done, and why had she paid so much to seal Azhi's memories?
Also, they had been targeted as soon as they left Kunlun. Even though they had used the golden cicada shedding ruse, their pursuers still caught up with them. This showed that Jiang Yaoji had sent quite a few people this time.
Making such a big fuss, would the person in the Moonlight Palace just turn a blind eye?
Jiang Yaoji, what was she so anxious about?
