Dusk Returns to the Ruined Building

In the Northern Meng Mountains, Yi Xuan's words brought both trouble and disaster.

The Song family from Yishui came not only to kill Shen Yichen, but also to kill Yixuan.

Shen Yichen was killed because of love, and Shen Yichen was not the first person to be killed. Almost every man in Wulang Academy who had feelings for Qianxin had been taught a lesson, but they all dared not speak out against it.

Song Xingzhou is really domineering. Qianxin belongs to him. Of course, the Song family of Yishui also has the capital to be domineering.

The reason Yi Xuan was killed was entirely because of his mouth. At the Red Dust Restaurant, the Song family wanted to deal with Yi Xuan, but Song Xingzhou suppressed it. Song Xingzhou did a favor and pretended to be a good person.

Song Xingzhou and Qianxin left first, but the Song family was ordered to kill Shen Yichen and Yixuan, and they were not afraid of being exposed because they had already come up with a reason.

Shen Yichen is the young master of the Ji family. He entered Yanquan, and people from the Jianghu (martial arts world) in Yanquan can kill him because Shen Yichen was considered to have trespassed into Yanquan.

Why were the Song family able to accurately locate Shen Yichen and his companion?

That's because the pastries Yi Xuan ate were touched by Song Xingzhou, who tampered with them, adding a "Jade Bone Bewitching Fragrance" to them—a unique tracking substance from the Song family of Yishui.

The reason why every member of the Song family in Yishui wears a white bone around their waist is so that they can be quickly found by their clansmen. This is also the reason why Mr. Siyuan shattered Song Yuyang's white bones in the desolate graveyard on the lonely cliff.

Mr. Siyuan knew about the Song family's Jade Bone Bewitching Incense, so of course he wouldn't let the Song family know where Song Yuyang died.

If Yixuan knew he had taken Jade Bone Bewitching Incense, he would probably throw it all up again, since Jade Bone Bewitching Incense is made from human bones.

The only crabapple tree in Beimeng Mountain disappeared, turning into dust. Shen Yichen and Yixuan stood back to back, looking at the Song family members who were besieging them, their hearts heavy.

"Oh, I really shouldn't have stayed here overnight. What a pity for that crabapple tree!"

Shen Yichen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and sighed, feeling truly sorry for him.

"Get lost! What time is it? You're still thinking about the crabapple tree? Oh, no, you're thinking about that beauty in the crabapple sunset!"

Yixuan's breathing was also unstable.

The Song family of Yishui has a master who injured the two men right away. Now they're sending these followers to do it. That's too insidious!

Shen Yichen frowned and whispered:

"Yixuan, you seem to know her quite well!"

"Tch, so you're allowed to be familiar with women, but I can't? Aren't you very familiar with Qianxin too? That dance at the Red Dust Restaurant, you were practically drooling. Don't men all like novelty? Do you have to dress them up in new clothes every day to satisfy your lustful desires?"

Shen Yichen slapped his forehead and leaped forward!

"Yi Xuan, you..."

"What do you mean, 'what do you mean, 'what do you mean, 'what do you mean, 'a prostitute' has caused you so much trouble.' I advise you to stay far away from women, the farther the better!"

In the middle of the official road of Beimeng Mountain, Shen Yichen and Yixuan were surrounded and engaged in a fierce battle.

In an instant, sword energy surged and true essence churned!

"Wait a minute, Yixuan, aren't you a man too? Don't you like it when women want to keep things fresh? Why does what you said sound like you're talking from a woman's perspective?"

Shen Yichen felt something was off, and finally realized what it was.

"Tch, I'm thinking from your perspective. If you can't even keep your soul intact in a light gauze dress, it's no wonder you're facing a love tribulation!"

Shen Yichen and Yixuan were simply finding joy in hardship.

The senior member of the Song family has made his move again. This man is around fifty years old, with sparse gray hair and eyes that are filled with a sinister and cold light, giving him a lifeless appearance.

At the Red Dust Restaurant, those who offered their seats were frightened by this man, who also wore a white bone belt with many skull patterns.

The sinister old man attacked Yi Xuan directly.

Yi Xuan's expression changed slightly, and the Heavenly Phase Dragon in his hand transformed into a ring, meeting the sinister old man's palms.

The power that erupted between the two was so great that those who were besieging Yi Xuan turned around and started killing Shen Yi Chen.

Yi Xuan's gaze was icy cold!

"Although the Song family of Yishui is a demonic sect, they have always considered themselves righteous. It's one thing for their techniques to be sinister, but are their hearts also so despicable? Bullying the weak and the many with the few is truly shameful for the righteous path!"

The sinister old man gave a cold laugh!

"I've taken a liking to the treasure you possess. Leave it behind, and I might spare your life!"

"You? You dare to say that? Bah!"

After Yi Xuan finished speaking, four beams of light shot out from the Heavenly Profound Yellow of the Heavenly Phase Array in his hand, directly attacking the gloomy old man.

The sinister old man was slightly startled, and four skulls emerged from the white bones at his waist, meeting the four beams of light.

The two opposing forces exploded instantly, sending Yi Xuan and the sinister old man flying backwards simultaneously.

Yi Xuan knelt on one knee. The eerie old man's aura flickered erratically, but it quickly stabilized.

"Shen Yichen, do you want me to die? Hurry up and help me!"

"I'm giving you a chance to prove yourself. Sigh, I really don't want to kill anyone, but you really can't survive in this world without killing!"

After Shen Yichen finished speaking, eight streams of Xuanling Essence condensed between his palms. His body was surrounded by rolling demonic light, and his figure transformed into eight. Each demonic figure held a piece of Xuanling Essence in its hand, which was directly imprinted on the heart of the attacker.

The Demon Shadow and the Mysterious Spirit exploded simultaneously, as did the Song family members. However, the Song family members' waist bones exploded, and they all escaped the thick cloud of explosion.

Shen Yichen was slightly taken aback; he really hadn't expected that the skeleton could save a life!

"Damn, you can use both righteous and evil techniques at the same time? How did you do that?"

Yi Xuan stared at Shen Yi Chen in shock.

"I am a demon, and demons must kill. I'm sorry, everyone!"

Shen Yichen was about to get up and kill someone.

"Brother Yichen, wait! It's easy to make enemies but hard to resolve them. Give me some face today and don't have any murderous thoughts!"

Qin Ming, blindfolded with a black cloth, actually arrived and landed beside Yi Xuan.

Qin Ming bowed slightly and said politely:

“Senior, we meet again. These two brothers are guests from afar. The Song family’s actions are not the way Yanquan treats its guests!”

"Get out of my way! Who do you think you are? Can't you see my brother is murderous? We came to Yanquan to kill!"

Yi Xuan leaped directly towards the sinister old man, shouting at the same time:

"Shen Yichen, if you're a man, kill them! Whether it's for love or for yourself, be quick, I can't hold out much longer!"

Shen Yichen and Qin Ming were both taken aback, neither of them expecting Yixuan to react this way.

Shen Yichen frowned in deep thought, and after a moment, a cold smile flashed across his lips.

"Brother Qin Ming, I'm sorry, but I can't give you that face. Although I'm new to Yanquan, I'm not someone you can bully!"

After Shen Yichen finished speaking, he roared:

"Is it magic or illusion? It's both!"

Shen Yichen, radiating demonic light, conjured countless figures that surrounded the Song family members. Each of them was simultaneously attacked by two demonic palms from the front and back, their hearts shattering instantly.

When Shen Yichen reappeared, he spurted out a mouthful of blood, but everyone in the Song family was dead.

Shen Yichen leaped up and caught Yixuan, who had been injured by the sinister old man.

"Yi Xuan, are you satisfied now?"

"No, this guy isn't dead yet. If we don't teach Song Xingzhou a lesson, he'll really think we're made of clay and afraid of him. We must kill the entire Song family!"

Shen Yichen looked up at the sinister old man who was trying to adjust his breathing, and frowned.

"Are you really going to kill me?"

"What's wrong? Got scared? I heard you've been hiding and running away from Jianying, but judging from your condition, the result must be very bad. You're destined for a calamity, hiding won't work, you can only face it head-on, you can only shatter those illusory calamities with your fists. Some calamities are actually fake!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yichen smiled slightly.

"Aren't some of them fake too?"

Shen Yichen put Yixuan down, but he pinched Yixuan's waist; her waist was incredibly slender.

"What...what did you remember?"

"No, but I will follow your advice and kill him myself. I will use the Holy Emperor's Technique of Unity of Heaven and Earth to tell Yan Quan that I, Shen Yichen, want to live a different life!"

Shen Yichen spoke with unwavering resolve, leaping into the air and letting out a furious roar:

"I entered Yanquan not for love, but for the sake of the martial world. What right do you have to kill me under the pretext of love?"

Shen Yichen shifted his aura and shouted, word by word:

"Heaven and Earth Unite as One, Holy Emperor's Technique! Die!"

On an official road in Yunmeng Mountain, the wind rose, clouds gathered, rain fell, and thunder roared. The aura of the Xuanhuang Saint Emperor Technique that filled the sky transformed into a long dragon, with wind, rain, thunder, and lightning between its four claws.

"You, you are Ji Xuanfeng's successor?"

The sinister old man looked horrified. White bones shot out from his waist, and all the skulls condensed into a ring, meeting the long, dark yellow dragon.

"So what if I am? So what if I am not? My surname is Shen, and my given name is Yichen. I have nothing to do with the Ji family, and even less to do with Ji Xuanfeng. I am who I am!"

Shen Yichen landed gracefully, and the long dragon instantly devoured the sinister old man. Its terrifying aura soared into the sky, illuminating the world.

Amidst the dark yellow light, Shen Yichen and Yixuan smiled at each other, but simultaneously collapsed to the ground.

"You've really gone too far with your act!"

"Get out! Didn't you say you wanted to change your way of life?"

"What does showing off have to do with changing your way of life?"

Sigh, those two are arguing again!

"Excuse me, gentlemen, I'm here to look after you!"
