Ji Yunxi's spiritual power spread over Feng Xingzhi, yet there was no reaction at all.
She frowned, gathering her magical power in her palm and probing again, but still found nothing.
"How could this be?" Mobilizing all the spiritual energy in her body and concentrating her attention on her palm, Ji Yunxi gathered her strength again, but was stopped by Yun Luotian.
Ji Yunxi was a bit annoyed as her spell was interrupted. "Luotian, let go! I don't believe I can't find it!"
Yun Luotian looked into her eyes and said word by word, "Senior Sister! Time is almost up. Let's leave here first. Don't be impulsive."
Hearing this, Ji Yunxi angrily put down her hand, clenching her fists helplessly. She knocked Feng Xingzhi unconscious with a chop of her hand.
Afraid that Feng Xingzhi would wake up and escape, Yun Luotian turned her palm towards Jiang Yin. The spirit - binding rope on Jiang Yin automatically flew into her hand, and then she quickly tied Feng Xingzhi up.
Jiang Yaoji noticed the commotion here and was shocked. She took two steps back, keeping a distance from Yun Han. Yun Han wanted to attack her, but was stopped by Lu Shu. The two were locked in a fierce fight.
Jiang Yaoji bent her legs slightly and nimbly jumped onto a tree branch. She roared in the direction of Ji Yunxi, "Ji Yunxi, let Feng Xingzhi go!"
Ji Yunxi looked up at Jiang Yaoji with cold eyes. She drew a line in the air with two fingers, and her sword floated up and rushed straight towards Jiang Yaoji.
Jiang Yaoji quickly formed hand seals. A light ball appeared in her hand, and countless falling leaves floated towards her. The leaves gathered into a mass. Jiang Yaoji waved her hand and sent the leaves flying, colliding with Ji Yunxi's sword.
"Bang!"
A loud noise tore through the sky. The airwave soared, and everyone stopped their fighting involuntarily, raising their sleeves to cover their faces.
Yun Luotian squinted and looked ahead. "Senior Sister, are you okay?"
In the airwave, Jiang Yaoji saw a glint rushing towards her. "No good!"
The sword blade broke through the smoke, glinting coldly, and forced straight towards Jiang Yaoji. She tumbled several times in a row to get away. After landing, she was unstable and knelt on one knee.
"Of course I'm fine." As soon as the words were out, Ji Yunxi's figure walked out of the smoke towards Jiang Yaoji, holding her sword upright.
Jiang Yaoji was shocked. "How is it possible? You're not even scratched?"
"Drop - drop -" It was the sound of blood falling on the ground. Jiang Yaoji's arm was cut several times by the sword qi, and her dress was stained with blood.
Jiang Yaoji stood up unsteadily, trembling all over. She looked around and knew that even though she was reluctant to part with Feng Xingzhi, if she delayed any longer, she might be in danger herself. So she had to retreat with Lu Shu first.
Lu Shu was still fighting with Yun Han, and the battle was fierce.
Ji Yunxi didn't want to hurt Lu Shu, so she called back Qing Xuan. But Lu Shu chased after it and almost hurt Qing Xuan.
"Do you really think I dare not kill you?!" Ji Yunxi said, her eyes darkening. She tightened her arm, tensed her body, and seemed to be gathering strength.
"Lu Shu!" Jiang Yaoji exclaimed. She knew that if Lu Shu also fell into Ji Yunxi's hands at this moment, they would be in big trouble.
She quickly flew forward and waved her hand gently. A stone lion floated up and smashed towards Yun Han. Yun Han blocked the stone lion with her sword, flipped over with the force, and quickly made several slashes. The stone lion was broken, and small stones flew everywhere.
Taking the opportunity, Jiang Yaoji used her light - body skill and came to Lu Shu's side. "We can't beat them. Let's retreat first."
Lu Shu gritted his teeth and agreed. Although he was very worried about Feng Xingzhi, there was no other way at the moment.
She waved her sleeve, and the leaves automatically formed a barrier. It spun in the air, and Ji Yunxi and the others couldn't see Jiang Yaoji's position clearly.
"Ji Yunxi, we'll meet again!" A venomous voice echoed in the sky. When the leaves dispersed, everyone only saw a few fading figures.
"I'll go after them." Yun Luotian said and was about to use her light - body skill.
Ji Yunxi quickly stopped her. "No need. Jiang Yaoji is injured. She won't be able to cause much trouble for the time being. Let's go back and lift the seal on Xingzhi first."
"Okay."
Jiang Yin stood there stupidly, looking in the direction where Jiang Yaoji left.
Yun Luotian walked at the back of the team. Seeing Jiang Yin still standing there, she was a bit impatient and wanted to urge him to move.
Unexpectedly, seeing his desolate expression, Yun Luotian couldn't bear to mock him and swallowed her words.
Yun Han said, "Take him back to the ice prison."
Yun Luotian asked worriedly, "Will Jiang Yaoji do something to Ji Yunyi and the others?"
Ji Yunxi glanced at Jiang Yin. "She probably won't. After all, Jiang Yin is still in our hands. No matter what, Jiang Yin is her right - hand man. Losing him won't do her any good."
Hearing this, Yun Luotian felt relieved. Just as she turned her head, she heard a splash. Yun Hui was the first to shout, "Senior Sister!"
Ji Yunxi almost fell. Fortunately, Yun Hui was quick - witted and caught her.
Yun Luotian was startled and anxious. "Yunxi, what's wrong? Don't scare me."
Yun Hui was stunned. He felt a sticky touch. He raised his hand and saw it was blood. "Senior Sister, you're injured. Why didn't you say anything?"
Yun Luotian suddenly remembered. "Could it be when you were fighting with Jiang Yaoji?"
Hearing everyone's chatter, Ji Yunxi felt dizzy, but still smiled happily. "Don't worry. I was injured when fighting with Jiang Yaoji just now. And because I consumed too much internal energy, I'm just a bit dizzy."
Yun Han felt Ji Yunxi's pulse and said, "It's not serious. She has indeed consumed too much internal energy. Let's go back and treat her injuries and give her a good tonic."
Only then did everyone feel relieved.
Jiang Yaoji and Lu Shu stopped after running a long distance using their light - body skills. The two found a secluded place to rest.
Jiang Yaoji used magic to light a pile of firewood. Thinking of the fight with Ji Yunxi just now, she suddenly realized that she had been deceived.
She clearly felt that the flying leaves had hurt Ji Yunxi. How could she be unharmed? Now she thought it was just a trick to deceive her.
Lu Shu was thinking about the fact that Feng Xingzhi had been captured. He was so restless that he paced back and forth on the spot.
Jiang Yaoji was dizzy from his pacing. "Can you just calm down for a while?"
Lu Shu looked at her unhappily. "The master has been captured by them. How can I be at ease?"
Jiang Yaoji was taken aback by Lu Shu's words. She said some words to comfort him. "Don't be in a hurry. Ji Yunyi and the others are still in our hands. Ji Yunxi and the others won't do anything to Feng Xingzhi."
After hearing Jiang Yaoji's explanation, Lu Shu calmed down and sat in front of the fire to warm himself.
The two were silent for a while. Although Jiang Yaoji was looking at the fire, she was thinking whether the formation on Feng Xingzhi would be discovered.
She had set the formation in the deepest part of Feng Xingzhi's meridians. With the abilities of Ji Yunxi and the others, they wouldn't be able to find it for the time being. Thinking of this, she felt a bit more at ease.
After they got back, Jiang Yaoji began to make arrangements, preparing to cooperate with Feng Xingzhi from inside and outside and rescue Jiang Yin as well.
