Dusk Returns to the Ruined Building

"There is no siege in the city with a sudden storm, and the poisonous sand is full of natural miasma! The Shadow Hall really chose a good place!"

On the edge of the cliff of Death Canyon, a man in a golden double-collared gown was talking to himself.

His face could not be seen clearly because it was covered in a layer of golden light. With a flash of light, he appeared in the open space of Death Canyon.

"Helian Xiaoyue, I know the Shadow Hall headquarters is here, why don't you come out to greet us?"

The man in yellow speaks very forcefully!

A voice came from the void:

"The Shadow Hall does not see anyone, does not look at anyone, does not report anyone, does not wait for anyone, please go back!"

The man in yellow said domineeringly:

"I don't see the Shadow Hall, I only see Helian Xiaoyue, the princess's vanguard!"

Soon after he finished speaking, a gray and white light shot around the man in yellow. After a flash of light, the man in yellow appeared in a hall! There was only one person in the hall—Helian Xiaoyue, the head of the Shadow Hall with a cross scar on his head!

"You are from the Ji family of Zhongzhou, please reveal your identity!"

The man in yellow said calmly:

"We don't talk about identity, we only talk about business!"

"You have entered the Shadow Hall without permission and are talking nonsense. You are in danger of losing your life!"

The man in yellow said with a bit of contempt:

"Just you? Not everyone in the Wengying Guards has this ability, right?"

Helian Xiaoyue was shocked when she heard this and said sternly:

"who are you?"

"It doesn't matter who I am! I told you I'm here only for a deal. You don't need to be surprised. I know everything, including that you are trying to revive the princess! But that has nothing to do with me, so who I am has nothing to do with you!"

Helian Xiaoyue was silent for a long time, then said in a deep voice:

"That person from more than a decade ago was you too, right?

The man in yellow shook his head and said softly:

"It's not me. I just recently found some traces of what happened back then. I guess the people who are looking for you are from the Ji Family Ancestral Hall!"

Helian Xiaoyue heard this with a look of disbelief on her face.

"Do you think I'm a three-year-old child? There can't be so many people with such cultivation in the Ji family! You are the one from that time!"

The man in yellow sneered:

"I don't even dare to say that I understand the Ji family, so how can your little Shadow Hall know its inner workings?"

"You deny that you are the person from that time, which means that you are not from the Ji Clan Ancestral Hall. With your cultivation level, you should be the head of the family. I have had the honor of seeing Ji Qingfeng. Even if you are not as good as him, I don't think you are much worse!"

Helian Xiaoyue expressed her doubts!

The man in yellow suddenly said in a cold voice:

"Does a high level of cultivation mean one can become the head of a family? Is that what your princess taught you back then? The head of a family is related to many factors! For example, identity, mission, inheritance, and timing! Don't forget that the princess's wife is more powerful than the princess!"

Helian Xiaoyue heard this, circulated the Qi in his body, and shouted:

"Who are you? How do you know my Lord's secrets?"

The man in yellow ignored Helian Xiaoyue's actions and questions, but asked a question instead.

"Compared to Ji Qingyun and Ji Qingfeng, who has a higher cultivation level?"

"I personally feel that Ji Qingfeng's cultivation is a little higher!"

Helian Xiaoyue was very nervous at this time. This person was as unpredictable as the one back then!

"If that's the case, why would they choose to cooperate with you and choose Ji Qingfeng?"

Helian Xiaoyue was stunned and said to herself:

"Shouldn't we choose the one with a higher level of cultivation?"

"Okay, let's talk about our deal!"

Throughout the conversation, the man in yellow was in the active position.

Helian Xiaoyue was a little speechless, he was the head of the Shadow Hall!

"What deal do you want?"

"I want Ouyang Zhengxiong, the head of the Ouyang family in Yingzhou, to kill Ji Qinghong of the Ji family in Zhongzhou with his own hands! Remember, kill him with your own hands!"

The man in yellow said it very clearly.

Helian Xiaoyue directly refused.

"The Shadow Hall can't do that, we only kill people!"

"Since I have chosen you, I am absolutely sure that Weng Yingmei should have a successor, right?"

The man in yellow said it so easily!

"Somebody come!"

Seven people appeared in the Shadow Hall and surrounded the man in yellow. They were the masters of the seven halls!

Helian Xiaoyue asked again,

"Who are you?"

The man in yellow laughed and said:

"Helian Xiaoyue, it's better not to let them know some things!"

Helian Xiaoyue's eyes changed for a long time, and then he said:

"You guys go down!"

Everyone disappeared upon hearing this!

The man in yellow saw everyone retreat and continued:

"My request is simple, and my conditions are also simple. I will not reveal what happened more than ten years ago!"

Helian Xiaoyue asked:

"What do you mean?"

"It's very simple. Just do what I said. I won't say a word about returning to Longshan. Otherwise, you should know the Ji family's style! Don't think that the Ji family won't know if you hide it!"

The words of the man in yellow have completely broken down Helian Xiaoyue's psychological defenses!

"what do you know?"

"Humph, I know it, and the Ji family knows it too. Do you think the Ji family doesn't know where the Wengying Guards are hiding? You underestimate the Ji family! The Valley of No Return!"

Helian Xiaoyue was shocked when she heard this, and looked at the person in front of her in horror.

"You, you are not a member of the Ji family!"

"I am. The Ji family is much more powerful than you think. They didn't touch you because you are still useful!"

Helian Xiaoyue asked back:

"What are you doing in the Ji family?"

"It has nothing to do with you. Let's talk about our deal. I'm just reminding you that Ouyang Zhengxiong is not an ordinary person. The people you send out had better be careful!"

Helian Xiaoyue didn't have much expression!

"Alright! Helian Xiaoyue, stop playing tricks, only cooperation can achieve what we need, otherwise the Shadow Hall will not have a good ending! Joining forces to kill the Patriarch of the Ji Family, even the people of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect may not dare to do so! The little Shadow Hall actually dared to agree to this, you are too courageous!"

"Fulfill what I said, and I'll pretend I didn't know anything about this!"

Helian Xiaoyue suddenly calmed down and asked:

"May I ask how you found out about this? There should have been no survivors back then!"

"I'll just tell you one thing, Ji Qingyun is still alive!"

After saying that, the man in yellow flashed and left!

"No way, who are you?"

"Go back and ask your mistress!"

Helian Xiaoyue stood alone in the main hall for a long time, muttering to herself:

"Ji family, what's going on? How come there are so many forces intertwined? And they are all so powerful! Is Ji Qingyun really alive?"

After a long time, a voice came from the main hall.

"Looks like I have to go back once!"

Jianying City, Yuyao Tower, at some point, a sword was hung on the sculpture of two dragons playing with a pearl on the roof. The tip of the sword was dark green, and the main body of the sword was red. It often flashed with blazing fire in the sun! At night, it was usually shrouded in white frost and fog.

"Grandpa, are the Ouyang family very well behaved this time?"

A woman on the rooftop of Yuyao Tower spoke softly.

"They are just for show. Are they doing this on purpose? Or are they taking advantage of us because we don't know the value of things?"

An old man's voice responded.

"Grandpa, what do you mean? This sword is fake?"

"Wait for Yuyao to come back and let her handle it herself!"

"No, I can't even handle such a small matter. How can I face Sister Yuyao in the future?"

The young woman looks very strong!

"Let's go to Xuankong Mountain and find that old guy!"

"You are good in every way, except that you are too impatient!"

……

After the drizzle, the air on the Hanging Mountain is fresh, the grass is fragrant and the wind is cool. Under the setting sun, a few floating stones are particularly conspicuous!

Outside the Sword Valley, two more people came, but they were still not clearly visible because their entire bodies were shrouded in dark green light.

"It seems that the Ouyang family has something to rely on. They don't take Yuyao Tower seriously at all! They haven't punished them for hundreds of years. Have they really forgotten the pain of the past?"

A woman's voice hit the Sword Valley directly!

A moment later, the one-armed old man appeared on the floating stone above the Sword Valley.

"What do you mean? I have already conveyed Yuyao Tower's intentions to Ouyang Zhengxiong, the head of the Ouyang family, and Ouyang Zhengxiong clearly told me that the Blazing Frost Sword has been hung on the roof of Yuyao Tower!"

"It's true that he's dead, but it's a fake one. Everyone in the world can be deceived, but Yuyao can't be deceived!"

"Three days have passed, you should cut off one of your arms!"

The one-armed old man was shocked when he heard this, and felt that something was wrong! He said:

"Xuankong Mountain must find out the truth and give Yuyao Tower a satisfactory explanation!"

"Grandpa, he doesn't take our words seriously, what should we do?"

The young woman was very dissatisfied!

"You've been gone for so long that you've really forgotten our existence. There's more than just the Ji family in this world!"

After the old man finished speaking, a dark green lightsaber shot towards the other arm of the one-armed old man!

"what!"

The one-armed old man didn't try to dodge at all, and he couldn't dodge at all. After a scream, he became an armless old man!

"From today onwards, no one from the Ouyang family is allowed to appear in Yuyao Tower, otherwise you will bear the consequences!"

After the young woman finished speaking, the two people outside the Sword Valley disappeared.

In the void, the old man said to the young woman:

"The Ouyang family is quite interesting! It seems that something unexpected is going to happen in Xuankong Mountain!"

"Is Grandpa related to us?"

"Of course it has nothing to do with us. As long as they don't disturb Yuyao Tower, we won't get involved. Let them have fun on their own!"

……

On the floating stone of Jianchi Valley in Xuankong Mountain, the armless old man sent a message to the outside world.

"Let Masao come see me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ouyang Zhengxiong, dressed in a dark blue robe, appeared on another floating stone in the Sword Pond Valley.

"Uncle, I'm always here!"

The armless old man looked at Ouyang Zhengxiong who came uninvited, feeling a little nervous, and asked:

"Zhengxiong, what on earth is going on with what Yuyaolou said?"

Ouyang Zhengxiong said calmly:

"I tried Yuyaolou with you, and you really didn't let me down!"

The armless old man looked at Ouyang Zhengxiong warily.

"What are you going to do?"

"Uncle, of course I'm here to see you off!"
