Dusk Returns to the Ruined Building

The night is still and spring is deep; the northern part of Meng is serene and tranquil.

Shen Yichen had no choice but to spend the night in Beimeng Mountain again. The four of them hid in a stone forest and sat by a pool.

Interestingly, Shen Yichen was carried here by Yixuan this time!

Yixuan threw pebbles into the pool one by one, he was in a bad mood, very bad mood!

"you you…"

Shen Yichen touched his chest and coughed softly.

"Yixuan, just say what you want to say. Hesitating like this isn't like you!"

"Alas, you really can't go back to the Ji family. The Ji family might accept you cultivating both righteous and evil arts, but they will absolutely not accept you practicing the ancient Miao region's strange and mysterious Gu techniques!"

"Yi Xuan, I told you long ago that I am the demon of the Ji family. You didn't believe me, so what can I do?"

Yi Xuan did not respond. The demon of the Ji family was a matter for the Demon Extermination Hall and had nothing to do with the Ji family royal family. However, the Gu Gu secret technique was related to the royal family. This was a taboo of the three royal families!

Intermarriage between the ancient Miao and Ji families is forbidden; this is a rule established by the three royal families.

"I'm going to find the divine physician Ji Qingxian of Yanquan, and I'm going to have him cripple all your cultivation!"

Yi Xuan's words came suddenly, but they were very firm!

To the surprise of Yixuan and the other two, Shen Yichen actually offered his support.

"I hope so, I also want to meet this miracle doctor!"

Shen Yichen really wanted to understand his Six Lines Misaligned Heavenly Secret Body, and even more so, he wanted to know about his lost memories.

The old man in the blood-red robe slowly finished his practice. He opened his eyes and looked at Shen Yichen.

"Thank you so much, Young Master Shen, for saving my life!"

"Hmph, there's no need for such formalities between us, is there?"

Shen Yichen did not want to have anything to do with the old man in the blood robe, but fate seemed to have led him to the Ancient Miao Region.

The Cloud Void Extreme Deceptive Technique and the power of his bloodline destined him to be inseparable from the Ancient Miao Domain, as well as the mysterious Return to Life Tower!

"Haha... Young Master Shen, do you really want to chat in front of the two of them?"

Shen Yichen pondered for a moment. He looked at the Tianxianglong pendant on Yixuan's wrist and knew that no matter where he hid, Yixuan would probably appear without anyone noticing.

"It's alright, they're all my people!"

Ning Menghuan and Yi Xuan cursed at the same time:

"roll!"

Shen Yichen was slightly taken aback; what he said did seem to have a problem.

"Don't misunderstand me, you two. What I mean is, I completely trust you!"

"Young Master Shen, what I'm about to say concerns the Ji family. Are you sure you want both of them to hear it?"

I believe in them!

Shen Yichen's heart was bleeding!

Yi Xuan smiled upon hearing this, having guessed Shen Yichen's helplessness.

"Haha, isn't that frustrating?"

Shen Yichen glared fiercely at Yixuan.

The old man in the blood-red robe shook his head. He was puzzled, but he didn't care.

"Senior, is Ouyang Zhiqing dead or alive?"

Shen Yichen clenched his fists tightly, his face serious.

Yi Xuan then took out a booklet and asked softly:

Which woman in the book is Ouyang Zhiqing?

Yi Xuan was actually trying to ease his inner tension, because he not only didn't expect Shen Yichen to ask such a question, but he also wanted to know the answer. Yi Xuan was unaware that Ouyang Zhiqing had an accident.

“Young Master Shen, I don’t know. You should probably ask the Ji family. I originally intended to take Ouyang Zhiqing away from Yingzhou and back to the Ancient Miao Region, but I was seriously injured by the Ji family on the way. I don’t know what happened after that!”

Shen Yichen's body trembled, and he exclaimed in surprise:

"You, you were injured by the Ji family?"

"Yes!"

Shen Yichen frowned and pondered deeply. Among the Ji family members in Jianying City, only Ji Xuanyan could injure the old man in the blood robe. Shen Yichen really couldn't think of any other family members. Even Ji Linghai, Shen Yichen felt that he might not be able to injure the old man in the blood robe!

"No, it can't be Ji Xuanyan, can it?"

“Young Master Shen, I don’t know. That person appeared as the Illusionary Emperor of the Ji family, but he knows the Illusionary Dream Flowing Cloud of the Ji family. I really don’t know his true appearance. If Ji Xuan Yan knows the Illusionary Dream Flowing Cloud, perhaps it is her!”

The old man in the blood-red robe was telling the truth. Even members of the Ji family couldn't see the face of the Illusionary Emperor, let alone him!

"Did the White-Clad Illusion injure you?"

"That person appears to be someone else, but as for who exactly he is, this old man truly has no idea!"

Shen Yichen suddenly stood up.

"You... Senior, you've been talking for so long, and you still don't know if Ouyang Zhiqing is alive or dead, or where she is. I risked my life to save you!"

"Young Master Shen, am I not clear? In the hands of your Ji family, and possessing the Illusionary Dream Flowing Cloud skill, with a cultivation level stronger than mine, such people are rare in the Ji family, aren't they? As far as I know, the Ji family's Illusionary Dream Flowing Cloud skill is extremely difficult to cultivate!"

Shen Yichen slowly sat down and looked at Yixuan.

"Why are you looking at me? I didn't go to Yingzhou. We're about the same age, do you think we'd know each other?"

The old man in the blood-red robe turned to look at Yi Xuan and exclaimed in surprise:

"You're also a member of the Ji family?"

Yi Xuan ignored the old man in the blood-red robe, and the old man in the blood-red robe on the lonely cliff also ignored him.

Yi Xuan felt that the person was Bai Yi Huan Meng, and Bai Yi Huan Meng had a reason to save Ouyang Zhi Qing.

Shen Yichen was unhappy, extremely unhappy!

"Go away. This is the second time you've tricked me. If it happens again, I will never save you!"

"Young Master Shen, even if I leave, it won't be until tomorrow. Let me remind you, be careful of what you call the White-Clad Illusion. This is definitely not an attempt to sow discord!"

Shen Yichen did not respond; he looked up at the waning moon in the sky.

He and Baiyi Huanmeng had known each other since Manghuang, through Tuoliang City, Yuyang County, the Hanhai Desert, and then to Jianying. Their relationship was very good, with no conflicts whatsoever.

Baiyi Huanmeng seemed to have no involvement in the Ji family's affairs; he was more like an observer.

Shen Yichen was startled. Was this bystander merely observing coldly, indifferent to the matter, or secretly observing and orchestrating everything?

Shen Yichen couldn't help but tremble. The Ji family always had a purpose in everything they did!

Shen Yichen felt a sense of vigilance, because he had never taken any precautions against Baiyi Huanmeng.

Shen Yichen thought for a long time, and finally he actually laughed. He thought about all the Ji family members he knew and had contact with, and in the end, Shen Yichen realized that the person he trusted the most was actually Ji Xuanyan, who had hurt him the most.

This is absolutely amazing, and incredible!

Yi Xuan quietly looked at Shen Yichen. Logically speaking, he should have killed Shen Yichen by now, since Shen Yichen had cultivated the Gu Mystic Art, but he really couldn't muster the slightest killing intent.

Yixuan couldn't understand what was wrong with him, why he was like this, he muttered to himself:

"Is it simply because he is the chosen one?"

Yi Xuan knew very well that this was not the reason; it seemed that Shen Yichen's image had taken root in his heart.

"Alas, one may have the will to do good, yet forget it; one may have the will to do evil, yet still cling to it! Yichen, I think I understand his heart a little better!"

Shen Yichen turned to look at Yixuan, stared at her quietly for a while, and then said with a smile:

"Yixuan, you seem conflicted!"

"Hmph, aren't you the same?"

Can you tell me the truth?

"go ahead!"

"Is the Ji family planning to attack Luowu Ancient City?"

Ning Menghuan turned to look at Shen Yichen, wondering why he would suddenly ask such a question.

"The loyal souls are buried in Beimeng Mountain! Yichen, I am loyal to the Ji family, even unto death. I'm sorry, I can't tell you!"

Shen Yichen stood up, looked up at the sky, and already knew the answer in his heart.

The Ji family is making another big move in Yanquan, probably wiping out the entire family or clan. But why is it that he's entering Yanquan at this particular time? Is this really just a coincidence?

Shen Yichen really couldn't figure it out!

After a long while, Shen Yichen turned to look at the old man in the blood-red robe and asked softly:

"Senior, have you ever heard of Ji Qingxian, the legendary healer of Yanquan?"

"I've heard about it!"

Do you know where you can find him?

The old man in the blood-red robe pondered for a long time before speaking softly:

"Legend has it that there is a valley in Yanquan, half in shade and half in sunshine, half in mist and rain, half in fog and half in dust, named No Return, perhaps there are clues to Ji Qingxian there!"
