Dusk Returns to the Ruined Building

Chapter 1149 Shuiyun Temple Observes the Situation Quietly

All your scheming and plotting are no match for the simple strokes of fate!

Shen Yichen is a romantic wanderer, and the place he frequents is a secluded brothel in a cold mountain.

The royal family of Yunxia Mountain upholds a heart devoid of worldly affection, and the place where Ji Yixuan, the successor of the imperial daughter, resides is naturally a place that represents ruthlessness—a Buddhist temple.

Shuiyun Temple is an ordinary Buddhist temple located within the Yixing Palace in the ancient city of Luowu.

Surrounded by water on three sides, the water reflects the lingering clouds.

The incense here is not very strong, for a simple reason: in the ancient city of Luowu, the people live in peace and contentment, and they have more faith in the Lord of Luowu.

Another reason is that the monk at Shuiyun Temple was deaf and mute.

In the ancient city of Luowu, no one paid any attention to this dilapidated Buddhist temple, let alone the people here. Little did they know that the deaf and mute monk in Shuiyun Temple had lived here for nearly five hundred years.

Shuiyun Temple faces the secluded brothel Hanshan, separated only by a river and a street.

Ji Yixuan woke up in the evening of the next day. She was badly injured; she had been attacked by Tian Xianglong.

In reality, Ji Yixuan and Shen Yichen are very similar. Shen Yichen was backfired by the power within his own body, and both of them forcibly used power they had not yet mastered.

Secondly, Ji Yixuan was already injured, because she was Yixuan.

Yi Xuan's injury was partly feigned, but when he fought Mr. Mo Fan, he was genuinely injured.

After waking up, Ji Yixuan knelt before the Buddha. She was now in the body of a woman, and her mind was in turmoil!

As for why things were chaotic, she couldn't explain it herself.

Was it because the plan failed? It doesn't seem so!

Because Mu Qingxue didn't die? Not exactly!

Because you didn't kill Ji Xuanfeng? Not at all!

Because they couldn't find Shen Yichen? That doesn't seem like it!

Ji Yixuan had already guessed that Shen Yichen must be hiding in Hanshan You. The reason was simple: Shuiyun Temple was used by the royal family of Yunxia Mountain to monitor Hanshan You, and Hanshan You was related to Ji Xuanfeng!

Ji Yixuan's inner turmoil stemmed from Shen Yichen's murderous intent in the courtyard. Although Tian Xianglong had saved her, Shen Yichen's murderous intent was real.

Ji Yixuan couldn't understand why the young master of the Ji family would kill her for the sake of the eldest daughter of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect. Even though she was Yixuan, she was still a member of the Ji family!

"Young Master, do you really not remember me? Have you really forgotten who you used to be? Can worldly love really completely change a person?"

Ji Yixuan simply couldn't understand it!

"Xuan'er, are you alright?"

Lan Yishu and Ji Xuanyi arrived. Although she was very anxious and concerned, she only stopped outside the Buddhist hall and stood with her head bowed.

"Master, I'm alright!"

A thin, dark yellow cloud surrounded Ji Yixuan, with the Tianxianglong hovering above her head, spinning rapidly.

When the clouds dissipated, Yi Xuan was kneeling on the ground, with Tian Xianglong on his wrist.

Yi Xuan stood up and looked at Ji Xuanyi.

"Master, you are injured. Did you fight with Lord Luowu?"

"It's not the Lord of Luowu, it's a dark figure!"

"A dark figure?"

Yi Xuan frowned slightly.

"With Master's cultivation level, how could he possibly injure you without revealing his true form? Even the Lord of Luowu probably doesn't have that ability. Could it be that the people of the Eight Sects of Xuantian have already intervened in the affairs of the martial world?"

Ji Xuanyi shook his head and responded softly:

"No, that was just a dark shadow. I think it was a conscious energy entity, similar to a soul. This world is truly mysterious; there are many things the Ji family doesn't know!"

Yixuan muttered to himself:

"Could it be him? He's come to Luowu Ancient City too? But wait, why would he attack you? Shouldn't he be here for Shen Yichen?"

Ji Xuanyi was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

"Xuan'er, who are you talking about?"

"The Ghost Chief of Beimeng, I guess it must be him. I met him once in the Beimeng Mountains!"

Ji Xuanyi certainly couldn't understand it!

"It seems that the relationship between the Northern Meng Ghost Head and the ancient city of Luowu is quite special!"

"Hmph, things are getting more and more interesting in Luowu Ancient City!"

Yixuan walked out of the Buddhist hall.

“Master, the person I fought last night was not Ji Xuanfeng, but a woman with a full head of white hair. This person was not mentioned in the news of the Yunxia Mountain royal family gathering!”

Yi Xuan recounted the events of last night to his master in detail. He was still young, and there were some things he couldn't understand or comprehend even after reading the news.

"The power of Yin and Yang? Could it be that the mysterious figure from back then has reappeared?"

Upon hearing this, Yi Xuan was shocked!

"Who? Master!"

"I don't know. Back then, when Ji Xuanfeng left Yunxia Mountain, he was stopped by the previous empress. However, someone who could use the power of Yin and Yang rescued Ji Xuanfeng from Yunxia Mountain. The royal family of Yunxia Mountain investigated for five hundred years but found no trace of him. I never expected that he would appear in Luowu Ancient City!"

"Hmph, so my painstaking plan wasn't entirely fruitless. Since she appeared once, she'll definitely appear a second time!"

"The royal family of Yunxia Mountain always thought that it was someone from the Xuantian Eight Sects, but at that time there was no such person in the Ji family's imperial city, so it was eventually dropped. Xuan'er, she may be the last trump card that Ji Xuanfeng left for Shen Yichen!"

Yixuan looked up at the distant sky, and after a long while, said softly:

"We must eliminate this person! We must use the power of the Eight Sects of Xuantian to get rid of her, and then activate the Bloodline Power within Shen Yichen. We must make the Eight Sects of Xuantian truly feel the crisis, and also the Xuantian Sect!"

"Xuan'er, according to the information obtained from Jianying City, Shen Yichen does not possess the power of Bloodline. Ji Linghai personally investigated this!"

"Shen Yichen possesses the power of bloodline inheritance, and Tianxianglong has already been stained with his blood. Ji Qingyun used the power of the ancient Miao region's bloodline to conceal the Ji family's bloodline inheritance power!"

Ji Xuanyi was shocked and sighed:

"Ji Qingyun has played a brilliant game, managing to deceive everyone in the royal family!"

“Master, let’s wait and see. Since Ji Qingyun sent the Holy Envoy Soul Messenger to activate the Bloodline Power in Shen Yichen’s body, this matter is really interesting. I guess he also wants to force Ji Xuanfeng to show himself.”

"Shen Yichen entered Yanquan. Without Ji Xuanfeng's help, I really can't think of anyone who could have stopped the killing intent of the Xuantian Eight Sects!"

Yixuan's eyes sparkled with excitement; he seemed to be really looking forward to it.

"Xuan'er, what do we do next?"

"Notify the God-Slaying Army of the three royal families to surround Luowu Ancient City first. Then we'll see how these clowns from the Ji family behave. Sometimes, we have to push them a bit. Thirteen Feathers are always scheming and fighting, and they've almost forgotten what the real crisis is!"

A man from Shuiyun Temple arrived; it was the abbot who was both deaf and mute, though he was obviously in disguise.

"Your subordinate greets Your Highness, Miss Xuan!"

"How's the check going?"

"As usual, there was no sign of Shen Yichen in Hanshan Youyi. I could only observe from afar and dared not approach rashly!"

Yixuan gazed at the brightly lit Hanshan Valley and murmured:

"He was injured too, so he should have woken up by now!"

As soon as Yi Xuan finished speaking, the guards of Luowu Ancient City surrounded Hanshan You.

Yi Xuan frowned!

"Could it be that the Lord of Luowu also knows about the connection between Hanshan You and Ji Xuanfeng?"

"Isn't it a pleasure to have friends coming from afar! The Ji family has been hiding in my ancient city of Luowu for hundreds of years, and I was completely unaware of it. My apologies!"

Shuiyun Temple was also surrounded by the guards of Luowu Ancient City, and the Lord of Luowu himself led the way.

Yixuan smiled slightly!

"Senior, how have you been?"

"I'm old now, and a thousand years have passed. My eyesight has deteriorated. I was wrong to mistake the successor of the Yunxia Mountain royal family for someone from my ancient city of Luowu. I apologize for any offense I may have caused you, Your Highness!"

"It's alright, it's alright. Your eyes may be blurry, but your mind must remain calm!"

Yi Xuan was truly furious. The Lord of Luowu had actually become the one who slew the cicada, he was still too young!
