Everyone was busy with the search, paying no attention to Ji Yunxi and Feng Xingzhi.
The spiritual energy here was abundant, making people feel refreshed. No wonder the entrance was set here.
Ji Yunxi looked into the distance. A few white clouds drifted across the sky. The vast land was full of greenery, dotted with colorful wildflowers of unknown names. In the distance, mountains surrounded the area, towering into the clouds. If you listened carefully, you could faintly hear the gurgling sound of a waterfall in the distance.
"The area is too vast. Let's search in different directions and inform the others if we find anything."
"Okay, I'll go to the west." Qing Xuan said lazily. Ji Yunxi shook her head helplessly at his attitude.
"Search seriously and see if there's any sign of Li Jiuge."
"Got it. You still don't trust me."
"You really don't inspire much confidence." Lu Shu couldn't help but snicker and said floatingly.
Hearing this, Qing Xuan glared at him. Lu Shu lowered his head, his shoulders shaking uncontrollably as he laughed even louder.
Seeing his reaction, Qing Xuan crossed his arms and said arrogantly, "Humph, I won't stoop to your level!"
"Alright, stop fooling around and start searching quickly." Ji Yunxi's lips curled up slightly. She waved goodbye and said with a smile.
Lu Shu and Qing Xuan immediately started their search. Feng Xingzhi hadn't moved yet. He quietly observed the crowd.
He noticed that besides the Jiuli tribe members, there were also many people from noble families, including Jiang Linyin and Jiang Yin.
The commotion caused by the four of them just now had attracted Jiang Linyin. He was quite surprised to see Ji Yunxi, thinking he was hallucinating. He rubbed his eyes, and his gaze seemed to fall on her intentionally or unintentionally.
"Yunxi, why does that man keep looking at you?" Feng Xingzhi also noticed Jiang Linyin's frequent glances and a hint of displeasure flashed across his usually cold face.
Ji Yunxi also noticed. She couldn't remember where she had met Jiang Linyin for a moment. She lowered her voice and said, "He looks familiar, but I can't recall where I've seen him."
"Jiang Linyin, you're here too today!" A young man in a blue linen disciple's robe excitedly called out to Jiang Linyin.
"A Mu, your family is here too."
"Yeah. There are so many good things in the Jiuli tribe. Who wouldn't want to look for some treasures?"
Hearing A Mu's words, Ji Yunxi's eyes swept over him indifferently, and the atmosphere around her turned cold.
"Strange, why does it suddenly feel a bit cold?" A Mu hugged his arms and tilted his head in confusion.
Just now, the bickering between Lu Shu and Qing Xuan had caught Jiang Linyin's attention. Seeing Ji Yunxi also shocked him greatly. At this moment, Jiang Linyin knew that Ji Yunxi was glaring at him. He forced a stiff smile and quickly changed the subject. "Really? Hehe, I don't feel it. By the way, how's your sister's illness?"
"Much better. Your poison is really powerful. If you hadn't thought of using poison to fight poison, my sister's illness wouldn't have gotten better!"
"It's just a small matter. Not worth mentioning."
Hearing this, Ji Yunxi finally remembered who he was.
Legend has it that Shennong tasted all kinds of herbs, teaching people to recognize grains, grow rice, and identify herbs to relieve people's sufferings. At the same time, he also discovered the existence of poisons in the world. Although they could be lethal, if used correctly, they could also cure diseases and save lives. Therefore, there were people in the Shennong clan who specialized in researching poisons.
Jiang Linyin was one of those who studied poisons in the Shennong clan. He was considered a subordinate of Jiang Yaoji and was known as the King of All Poisons. Coincidentally, the two had met before, and the encounter hadn't been pleasant.
"I'm going to look for the Jiuli tribe. See you later." The young disciple called A Mu waved goodbye to Jiang Linyin.
"Go ahead!" Jiang Linyin also raised his hand in response. His honest smile didn't seem to belong to a master of poisons at all.
Ji Yunxi withdrew her gaze and stopped looking at him. She had just taken two steps when she was blocked by Jiang Linyin.
Ji Yunxi had a bad impression of him and simply walked around him.
"Yunxi?" At this moment, Jiang Yin saw Ji Yunxi and nodded in greeting. Seeing Jiang Linyin following behind her, he was stunned.
"You need to be careful." Ji Yunxi nodded. Without stopping her steps, she whispered a warning to him as she passed by.
"Oh, okay!" Jiang Yin hadn't recovered from the shock and replied stupidly.
What a strange atmosphere... Jiang Yin watched the direction in which the two left and murmured softly.
"I was forcibly taken into the God - created World by Jiang Yaoji back then. But my magic power wasn't strong enough, and I lost my memory after entering." Jiang Linyin followed behind her. Although he wasn't sure if she wanted to listen, he still stubbornly explained.
Ji Yunxi paused. Seeing that there was a glimmer of hope, Jiang Linyin quickly continued, "Even if you die in the God - created World, you won't really die."
Ji Yunxi tightened her fingers. Suddenly, she thought of Yue Chen. Her lips were extremely dry, and her throat felt as if it didn't belong to her. "Then..."
"Except for those killed by the God - slaying Blade." Jiang Linyin added.
Their voices came out simultaneously, and his voice completely drowned out Ji Yunxi's. "If you're stabbed by the God - slaying Blade, you'll die completely and will never be resurrected."
A mist welled up in her eyes, and the scenery in front of her became increasingly blurred. Ji Yunxi felt her tears welling up uncontrollably.
"What did you just say? I didn't hear clearly." Jiang Linyin stared at her in confusion. Noticing that the corners of her eyes were red and her mood was low, he thought he had said something wrong again and was immediately at a loss.
"I didn't say anything. You misheard." Ji Yunxi tilted her head slightly to hold back her tears. Her voice returned to its usual coldness. She didn't understand why Yue Chen, who wasn't poisoned, had specifically asked her to kill him with the God - slaying Blade.
"Ah?" Jiang Linyin blinked, as if the vulnerable Ji Yunxi just now had been his illusion.
"I understand your explanation. Let's focus on finding the Jiuli tribe members first."
"Okay!"
"Master, something's wrong." Qing Xuan and Lu Shu had returned at some point. Their faces were filled with anxiety. Feng Xingzhi was also standing beside them, his eyes deep and silent.
"Speak slowly." Seeing their expressions, Ji Yunxi had a bad feeling in her heart.
"The other Jiuli tribe members discovered by other noble families have been stopped and gathered together for disposal. Everyone is vying for the right to dispose of them. The Xuanyuan and Huaxu clans are among them."
"Let's go there now!"
Not far away, many people had formed a circle. The Jiuli tribe members were in the middle. Many women and children were huddled on the ground, shivering.
Ji Yunxi wanted to go forward to check if the Jiuli tribe members were injured, but the area was surrounded tightly.
She frowned tightly. Unable to bear it any longer, she lightly flicked her wide sleeves, leaped into the air, spun around, and her red dress fluttered like a blooming flame. She landed in the center, placing her left hand on her abdomen. She looked extremely elegant.
The people around looked at the suddenly - appearing woman and started to whisper like boiling water.
"Who are you?" Someone, dissatisfied with her audacity, asked.
Ji Yunxi raised her eyes and glanced at the crowd lazily. "I'm Ji Yunxi, the princess of the Xuanyuan clan."
