The city gate swung wide open. Yu Mingyi was somewhat excited. Since Ji Yunxi had walked in on her own, he surely couldn't let her out again.
Jiang Yaoji looked at his unpromising appearance and felt both helpless and amused in her heart.
Little did she know that her own look when she gazed at Feng Xingzhi was even more intense.
Ji Yunxi walked towards the city. Feng Xingzhi opened his mouth and reached out his hand, wanting to stop her, but Ji Yunxi gently pushed his hand away.
Carrying the God - Slaying Blade, she stepped onto the stairs and climbed up to the city tower step by step. There was a hint of reluctance in Ji Yunxi's eyes.
Jiang Yaoji was narrow - minded herself, so she was naturally afraid that once Ji Yunxi climbed up the tower, she might suddenly attack her. So as soon as she saw Ji Yunxi's figure, she immediately shouted sternly, "Stop!"
Ji Yunxi paused and stood still, looking at her coldly. "What? You've used so many dirty tricks yourself, and now you're scared of me?"
Jiang Yaoji naturally didn't want to be spoken to like this. She said coldly, "Don't waste your breath. Put down the God - Slaying Blade and then go back!"
Yu Mingyi wanted to stop her. If this woman went back, what would happen to his plan?
But when he turned his head, he saw Jiang Yaoji's murderous look. He quickly swallowed back all his words. It was better not to anger her at this moment.
Ji Yunxi sneered but still followed her instructions. She stared intently at Jiang Yaoji without daring to look away, while slowly bending down.
Jiang Yaoji looked like she had the victory in hand. Her eyes were full of excitement, as if she had already obtained what she wanted.
However, just as Ji Yunxi was about to put the God - Slaying Blade on the ground, she suddenly flew towards Yu Mingyi.
Yu Mingyi's eyes widened. He didn't have time to dodge and was slapped by Ji Yunxi. He was sent flying several steps back. Then Ji Yunxi grabbed him, and the God - Slaying Blade was firmly placed on his neck.
He was completely stunned. He had no idea how he had been flung over from there and how he had been caught. He didn't react at all.
Seeing this, Jiang Yaoji cursed silently in her heart. This Yu Mingyi was really useless. He was good for nothing!
Feng Xingzhi was watching below the city. Naturally, he immediately flew onto the city tower and came directly to Ji Yunxi's side. He drew his sword and pointed it at Jiang Yaoji.
The situation suddenly reversed. Except for Yu Mingyi, who was already scared out of his wits, the other three all had unfriendly looks in their eyes.
Yu Mingyi trembled and asked Ji Yunxi, "Aren't you afraid that I'll kill Yu Xiaobei?"
Ji Yunxi leaned close to his ear and said, "Do you think I'm that stupid? Why do you think I would care about Yu Xiaobei's life? Moreover, if you kill her, I'll kill you. I won't lose either way."
Hearing this, Yu Mingyi didn't dare to move anymore.
He finally understood now. He had been too naive. How could he have attempted to threaten her with just Yu Xiaobei?
Even if she had come today, it was for the disciples of the Dream Blossom Pavilion in the dungeon. What did Yu Xiaobei have to do with it?
Jiang Yaoji stood on one side. She could guess that Yu Xiaobei couldn't really threaten Ji Yunxi. The real bargaining chips were the people in the dungeon. So she gritted her teeth and said, "Ji Yunxi, I'll kill Jing Weiwei and the other one."
Yu Mingyi paused. He wasn't stupid. At this time, threatening Ji Yunxi like this, it seemed that Jiang Yaoji had never really regarded him as an ally and didn't even care about his life.
He immediately regretted it. Even if he really wanted to cause trouble for Ji Yunxi and Feng Xingzhi, he should have just done it directly instead of cooperating with someone like Jiang Yaoji.
The more he thought about it, the more he regretted it. If he really became a ghost under the God - Slaying Blade, it would be too late for everything.
Lowering his voice, Yu Mingyi quietly negotiated with Ji Yunxi, "Miss Ji, can you spare my life in exchange for the lives of Jing Weiwei and the others? I didn't know Jiang Yaoji was such a person. Please be magnanimous."
Ji Yunxi thought to herself that now his life was in her hands. Otherwise, she didn't know how arrogant he would be.
The more she thought about it, the more ridiculous it seemed. Ji Yunxi raised her eyebrows and said, "I can agree to you, but you have to bring Jing Weiwei and the other one here first. I have to see that they are safe before I can let you go."
Yu Mingyi had no reason to refuse. He quickly nodded and said, "Okay, I'll have someone bring them to you right away."
Then he quickly waved to the guards to go and bring the people.
Jiang Yaoji gasped. She knew that Yu Mingyi was about to defect in public. She thought to herself that she was really unlucky to have found this useless Yu Mingyi!
Not only was he useless, but now he was also going to defect?
If she let all the people go, what bargaining chips would she have left?
I'm afraid she would be the one to be sacrificed with the God - Slaying Blade!
She suddenly became anxious. Seeing that the guards were really going to bring the people, she wanted to stop them. She flew forward to block them.
Feng Xingzhi couldn't let her succeed. He also chased after her. The Nienfeng Sword in his hand shone with a cold light.
Jiang Yaoji, who was blocked, was both angry and anxious. She didn't care about her feelings for Feng Xingzhi anymore. She immediately drew her sword and attacked.
The two of them fought in the air directly. The sword qi criss - crossed. Jiang Yaoji kept pulling at the people around her, trying to stop Feng Xingzhi's actions in this way. She didn't really want to fight against Feng Xingzhi, but since he was pressing on step by step, it wasn't a solution either.
Yu Xiaobei didn't know when she had broken free from the people around her. Looking at the people fighting, Yu Xiaobei felt even more nervous. She used to think that the Crown Prince was the most powerful person. Now it seemed that the saying "There's always someone better" was really true.
But then she thought that a woman as powerful as Ji Yunxi shouldn't have belonged to Yu Mingyi in the first place. Yu Mingyi should have interacted with the mermaid woman.
At this time, Yu Mingyi seemed to have noticed her and secretly winked at her.
Yu Xiaobei was stunned at first, and then immediately understood what he meant. He wanted her to save him, but how could she possibly defeat Ji Yunxi? Unless...
She snatched a dagger from a guard beside her. Although it wasn't very long, it was very sharp. The handle of the dagger felt slightly warm in her hand.
She walked up slowly. Her voice was very soft, and Ji Yunxi didn't notice her approaching. She still had the God - Slaying Blade on Yu Mingyi's neck and was watching Jiang Yaoji and Feng Xingzhi fight.
Yu Xiaobei came behind Ji Yunxi. She hesitated a bit. She knew that once this sword was stabbed, all the friendship would be over.
But the person she was holding hostage was Yu Mingyi. How could she just stand by and do nothing?
Gritting her teeth, she still raised the dagger and was about to stab it hard into Ji Yunxi's back.
Ji Yunxi's divine power was no joke. She really felt someone approaching. She was still giving Yu Xiaobei a chance. As long as she didn't make a move, she would spare her life.
Unfortunately, she was destined to disappoint Ji Yunxi. At the moment when the sword qi fell, Ji Yunxi dodged. The dagger slashed through the air and missed.
Even with such a quick turn, the God - Slaying Blade in Ji Yunxi's hand still remained firmly on Yu Mingyi's neck. She looked at Yu Xiaobei disappointedly and then kicked her flying.
