Ji Yunxi was filled with rage. But now she couldn't leave. She could only grit her teeth and follow Yue Chen.
He seemed very familiar with this place. Without any hesitation, he walked through the jungle all the way to the deepest part. Here, it suddenly opened up. A small courtyard stood there, exactly as she had seen in her dream.
It was obvious that Yue Chen had really put his heart into it. However, this dedication seemed even more ironic in Ji Yunxi's eyes.
Yue Chen seemed affectionate, but he regarded taking others' lives as a way to fulfill this affection.
How absurd, how ridiculous.
Ji Yunxi couldn't show a single trace of a smile. She just followed Yue Chen inside with a cold face.
They pushed open the door of the courtyard. It was very clean inside, looking like it was often cleaned.
Yue Chen was also very familiar with this place. He led Ji Yunxi to the Goddess's room. "You'll stay here."
"Oh, so you'll kill me here later. It can also be regarded as paying tribute to the Goddess."
Her sarcasm made Yue Chen stumble.
He secretly told himself not to be affected by Ji Yunxi. She just wanted to make him lose his composure.
"I'll leave first." Yue Chen didn't dare to say more. He turned around and left. His back looked like he was fleeing in a hurry.
Ji Yunxi sneered. The wariness in her eyes when looking at Yue Chen deepened.
Seeing him leave, Ji Yunxi quickly stepped forward, wanting to take this opportunity to run out.
However, as soon as she got out, Ji Yunxi found that the room had been locked. She had no chance to escape even if she wanted to.
"Yue Chen! If you have the guts, lock me up until I die!"
Yue Chen stood at the door, listening to Ji Yunxi's angry shouts. He comforted himself in his heart. It didn't matter that she didn't understand. As long as he thought what he was doing was right, that was enough.
For Ji Yunxi, did the last bit of beautiful memories of that young man also disappear?
Feeling a bit tired, Ji Yunxi went back to the inner room and lay down directly, calmly making herself comfortable.
Yun Han finally found Ji Yunxi's aura with the hairpin. Feng Xingzhi was still excited.
"Uncle! How shall we go?"
On the other side, Yun Han didn't say a word all the time. Gradually, everyone's expressions changed from expectation to doubt, and from doubt to disappointment.
"It seems that we still can't find her with this."
Feng Xingzhi was very disappointed. Was it because the hairpin had been broken before that they couldn't find the person?
The more he thought about it, the more depressed Feng Xingzhi felt.
Suddenly, Yun Han opened his eyes. "I've found her!"
His words made everyone present fall silent. Feng Xingzhi trembled. He hardly dared to believe it. "Really?"
"I've really found her." Yun Han didn't dare to delay. Who knew what Yue Chen was up to. "Don't waste time. Follow me!"
He led everyone to a small town. This place didn't look big, but there were quite a lot of people.
In the vast sea of people, Feng Xingzhi frowned. It was hard to know where Yue Chen had taken the person. They could only first determine the specific location.
"We'll act separately. If you see any traces of Xi Xi and Yue Chen, don't startle the enemy."
Everyone nodded to show they understood and scattered into the town.
Qing Xuan was Ji Yunxi's contracted spirit beast. He could sense her when he got closer. His eyes lit up and he had a plan in mind.
He led Feng Xingzhi to search everywhere along Ji Yunxi's aura and even came to the bun stall where the two of them had sat before.
Feng Xingzhi asked the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, may I ask if you've seen a man and a woman, two outsiders?"
The shopkeeper was a bit scared and nodded timidly. "I have seen them. A man and a woman. They left without even eating the buns."
"Which way did they go?"
"They, they left the city." The shopkeeper pointed in a direction. "They even forgot to eat the buns."
Everyone got the direction and immediately walked out of the city. The closer they got, the stronger Qing Xuan's sense became.
He said excitedly, "Master should be nearby!"
Walking forward a bit more, the small courtyard was exposed.
Feng Xingzhi led the people to lie in ambush around it. They saw that there was still smoke rising from the small courtyard, which meant there must be someone living there. Moreover, there was a divine power surrounding the outside of the courtyard. There weren't many people with such a strong divine power.
"Let's not act rashly for now. We still don't know what's going on with Yue Chen."
Qing Xuan couldn't wait any longer. "I'm a black bird. I'm fast. Let me distract Yue Chen. You go and take Master out."
This method was a bit dangerous, but after comprehensive consideration, it was the safest one.
Feng Xingzhi said, "Just run. Don't worry about our situation. You must protect yourself."
Qing Xuan nodded. Everyone thought it was feasible and then started to carry it out.
Qing Xuan and Feng Xingzhi came outside the small courtyard and made a noise. Yue Chen was taking a nap in the room. Suddenly hearing the noise outside, he woke up instantly.
Thinking he was still in a dream, Yue Chen hesitated for a while. Then he suddenly realized that the noise was really coming from outside.
No one ever set foot in this place. How could there be any noise? It was probably Feng Xingzhi and the others who had chased after them.
"I really underestimated you guys."
Yue Chen sneered and chased after them.
Qing Xuan led him to run outside without hesitation. Feng Xingzhi took the opportunity to break in and quickly took Ji Yunxi out.
After running for a while, Yue Chen suddenly realized something was wrong. Feng Xingzhi always liked to face things head - on. How could he let himself chase all the way?
It was very likely a ruse to divert the tiger from its mountain!
Cursing secretly, Yue Chen immediately rushed back and gave up chasing Qing Xuan. Unfortunately, when he returned to the courtyard, he found that Ji Yunxi was already gone.
The person was taken away right under his nose. Yue Chen felt humiliated. His anger burst out and he slapped the table in front of him to pieces. "Feng Xingzhi!"
He didn't know that he had already been torn to pieces in Yue Chen's heart. At this moment, Feng Xingzhi only had Ji Yunxi in his heart.
When the two met, neither of them said a word. They just held each other's hands tightly.
When they came to a safe place, Feng Xingzhi carefully put the person in his arms down and then checked her body.
Ji Yunxi seemed fine on the surface, but in fact, she was very weak inside. Her divine power was like a cascading waterfall.
Feng Xingzhi was very worried when he saw how weak she was. "Xi Xi, what on earth did Yue Chen do?"
Ji Yunxi explained, "It might be the God - Slaying Blade."
As soon as she said this, Feng Xingzhi immediately shook his head. "Impossible. The God - Slaying Blade is still with me. Is there another one in the world?"
Yun Han was standing on the outermost circle. Seeing Ji Yunxi injured, he quickly pushed through the crowd and stepped forward.
He felt Ji Yunxi's pulse, thought for a moment, and then looked at the area near her ears. "There are no wounds from the God - Slaying Blade here. It's very likely that Yue Chen used a certain secret technique to temporarily borrow the power of the God - Slaying Blade to cut through the veins inside and extract the divine power."
Feng Xingzhi wasn't interested in this. He just urgently wanted to know if there was a way to solve this secret technique that had borrowed the power of the God - Slaying Blade.
Yun Han had read a lot of books. "We still have to use the method to treat the wounds of the God - Slaying Blade. Using wound medicine, divine power, and phoenix blood can heal the wounds."
