Dusk Returns to the Ruined Building

Lies don't hurt, but the truth is the knife!

Shen Yichen had been wounded by a knife, but he didn't know the truth.

Shen Yichen and Mu Qingxue, both exhausted, were eating, wolfing down their food.

The young Taoist priest and Mu Yulou sat at a nearby table, watching the two gluttons, shaking their heads and sighing from time to time.

Yi Xuan had no reaction to the medicine, but Shen Yichen and Mu Qingxue were in agony.

"Seniors, could you please give us some pointers? What exactly is the problem?"

"Boy, you should ask the people of the Yin Yang Xuan Yu Sect about this. They cultivate the methods of delusion within the Yin Yang Dao, while I cultivate the Dao Heart of the Yin Yang Dao!"

Shen Yichen slammed the bowl down on the table and exclaimed in surprise:

"Senior, why didn't you say so sooner? The Upside-Down Monster must know something!"

"Hey, you two are yelling like crazy, who would dare come near you! You have no shame, but we do!"

Shen Yichen and Mu Qingxue were embarrassed!

The two dared not eat anymore, each taking a sip of tea and a sip of wine to ease the awkwardness.

"Young Miss, Yi Xuan has admitted that he is Ji Yi Xuan. He said he will remember this grudge and repay you tenfold!"

Mu Qingxue looked at Shen Yichen and sighed:

"Yichen, Ji Yixuan is really hard to deal with. She tricked us this time!"

"I'm sorry, Qingxue, I shouldn't have dragged you into this!"

"Tch, she's tried to kill me twice already. Is it normal for me to do nothing? Once I confirm her identity, I'll see how I deal with her!"

Shen Yichen stood up, looked out the window, pondered for a moment, and then said:

"Qingxue, we need to go find the Inverted Monster again. I need to figure out what's wrong with Yixuan. How could the aphrodisiacs for men and women both fail at the same time?"

Mu Qingxue turned her head and saw Mu Yulou, the Earthly Official.

"Senior, is it still possible to find the Upside-Down Monster?"

"Young Miss, we can find the person, but we can't make any big moves. Luowu Ancient City is suddenly under martial law!"

Shen Yichen and Mu Qingxue had already seen it; the long street was filled with patrolling guards.

"Hmph, it seems they're making preparations to welcome us into the Floating Dragon Cave Heaven Pavilion tomorrow!"

"That's probably true, Miss, but there's another possibility: the Lord of Luowu might be a threat to you and Young Master Shen!"

"Hmph, I'm just waiting for her to turn against us. Yichen, bring Yixuan with you tomorrow!"

Mu Yulou stood up and bowed slightly.

"Young Miss, you can't take this risk. If the Lord of Luowu really intends to kill you, the people of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect in Luowu Ancient City won't be able to protect your safety!"

"As long as the Chosen One lives, I will not die. If Yi Chen dies, I will die with him without regret. Tomorrow, everything will be as usual. Rest assured, the Yanquan Jianghu and the Ji family will not let the Chosen One die easily!"

Mu Yulou frowned deeply; he was truly worried. After a moment, he offered further advice:

"Young Miss, I'm worried that the Ji family and Lord Luowu are cooperating. If that happens, you'll be in real danger!"

Mu Qingxue turned to look at Shen Yichen and asked softly:

"Yichen, what do you think?"

"I will live and die with you!"

"No, we want to share a bed and enjoy ourselves. The young lady of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect and the young master of the Ji family will enjoy the pleasures of the night together, and even if they die, they will have no regrets!"

Mu Yulou wanted to say something more, but Mu Qingxue glared at him, and Mu Yulou swallowed back the words he was about to say.

Shen Yichen felt increasingly uneasy and turned to Mu Qingxue, saying:

"Qingxue, we need to find the Upside-Down Monster! Immediately, right now! If we're too late, he might have been silenced!"

Shen Yichen and his three companions quickly disappeared into the long street. This time, they had to find it themselves, as Mu Yulou only knew the general direction.

The members of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect who were secretly protecting Mu Qingxue also scattered to search for the Inverted Monster.

Let's talk about Yixuan next.

After leaving Xianzhong Tower, Yi Xuan quickly found Ji Xuanyan on the banks of Fuchun River.

Yixuan got straight to the point:

"Senior, I need you to intervene and stop the young master from going to the Floating Dragon Cave Pavilion tomorrow!"

Ji Xuanyan was slightly startled when she saw the woman in green who had come with Yixuan.

Ji Xuanyan knew who this person was, Lü Yishu. She didn't know her exact name, but she knew that Lü Yishu was the most powerful and ruthless among the Seven Colored Yishu.

Ji Xuanyan now understood why Yi Xuan was so fearless. It was likely that Qi Caiyi was secretly following him. But this was normal, after all, Yi Xuan was Princess Xuan Nu of the Yunxia Mountain royal family.

For the first time in a thousand years, the royal family of Yunxia Mountain has intervened in matters of the martial world; they cannot afford to fail!

“Your Highness, whether it is the Lord of Yongqing Prefecture or the leader of the Holy Hidden Feather, the young master is the sovereign, and I am the subject. I cannot change the young master’s mind!”

"The Lord of Luowu harbors ulterior motives. Now, Luowu Ancient City is making such a grand show of force, seemingly for protection, but in reality, it is for precaution. Young Master, this trip may be fraught with danger!"

Ji Xuanyan shook her head and replied:

“Your Highness, now that the Shadow Emperor of the Ji Clan Ancestral Hall has arrived in Luowu Ancient City, the Lord of Luowu should not dare to act rashly!”

Ji Xuanyan didn't dare to say a single unnecessary word, nor did she want to. Yi Xuan seemed to be stopping Shen Yichen, but she always felt that Yi Xuan's real target was Mu Qingxue, or rather, the difference between good and evil!

"Hmph, senior, then let's wait and see. I'm warning you beforehand, my people will not save the young master. If anything happens to the young master, all the Ji family members in Luowu Ancient City will bear the responsibility, including you. You'd better watch yourself!"

After saying that, Yixuan left, his expression unchanged and a smile on his lips.

Ji Xuanyan turned around and looked at Yi Xuan's departing figure, her brows furrowed slightly. She really didn't understand why Yi Xuan had come, because there was no need for Yi Xuan to come and tell her this matter in person. Yi Xuan knew very well that she would not agree.

As Yi Xuan left, she also had some doubts in her heart. She wondered who Ji Xuanyan was meeting here? She was acting all mysterious.

"Go and keep an eye on her, see who she's meeting!"

Upon hearing this, Lü Yishu was slightly taken aback!

"Your Highness, I'm afraid I can't do it. She'll definitely find out!"

"It doesn't matter. Even if she finds out, she won't dare to complain. I just want to know who she met!"

"Is His Highness safe?"

"It's alright, go ahead!"

Lu Yishu turned and left, and Yi Xuan quickly disappeared into the dark alleys and streets. Of course, he was going to find Shen Yichen.

Shen Yichen and Mu Qingxue quickly found the Upside-Down Monster, but it was indeed dead, though not killed by the Ji family.

The Upside-Down Monster died after his vital energy was drained.

When Shen Yichen and the others arrived, the Upside-Down Monster was already a cold, desiccated corpse. Moreover, having engaged in sexual intercourse, the scene had not even been cleaned up yet.

Both the young Taoist and Mu Yulou were speculating which evil sect in Yanquan had done it.

A name surfaced in Shen Yichen's mind:

Li Lingwang of the Tianyou Clan!

Mu Qingxue turned to look at Shen Yichen, pulled him out of the room, and whispered:

"Is it possible for us to extract the power of your bloodline through this method?"
