Dusk Returns to the Ruined Building

As the saying goes, with affection, even the grandest dreams may come to naught; without affection, a solitary figure is left only to be a fleeting glimpse of beauty.

In the ancient city of Luowu, shrouded in dark clouds, Mu Qingxue was troubled by unrequited love, while Yi Xuan was saddened by his lack of affection.

Xichun Pavilion, where green bamboos murmur in the wind, stands alone, its shadow filled with self-pity.

Yixuan sat by the railing, watching the bamboo leaves sway and listening to the gentle sound of the evening breeze, but his brows were furrowed in deep thought.

Yi Xuan is a heartless person. To be precise, he cultivates the path of heartlessness. This "heart" refers to worldly love, but he also has the seven emotions and six desires!

The incident at Xianzhong Tower truly broke Yixuan's heart, as Shen Yichen and Mu Qingxue had broken his.

In reality, Yi Xuan's resentment mainly stemmed from Shen Yi Chen, because in Yi Xuan's eyes, Mu Qing Xue was a dead person, someone who would die sooner or later.

A thousand years later, the battle between good and evil reignites. Yi Xuan is confident that he can destroy the Ten Thousand Demons Sect, but Shen Yi Chen's changes shake his confidence.

The young master of the Ji family, the future leader of the righteous path, not only cultivates both righteous and evil paths, but is also troubled by love affairs. Most importantly, Shen Yichen truly has no distinction between righteous and evil, nor any desire to compete for supremacy.

Yi Xuan looked down at the Tian Xianglong spinning in his palm, feeling confused.

"How can I assist you, my young master!"

Yi Xuan really can't see through Shen Yi Chen!

The chosen one was born into the Ji family, and he was the young master whom the three royal families had been waiting for. At first, Yi Xuan was very excited, but after spending just over a month together, Yi Xuan could no longer feel happy.

It wasn't just because Shen Yichen was amorous, but also because he had practiced the Gu poison technique.

Before leaving Yunxia Mountain, Yi Xuan already knew that Ji Qingyun and Shen Surong had set up a scheme. Now it seems that Shen Yichen probably has secrets that the royal family of Yunxia Mountain doesn't know about.

In other words, the scheme that Ji Qingyun set up may be bigger and worse than the Yunxia Mountain royal family had anticipated!

It's likely that Ji Qingyun's initial plan was to destroy Shen Yichen, but for the Ji family, was this ultimately a benefit or a drawback?

Yixuan can't see through it!

Yi Xuan gripped Tian Xianglong tightly, his eyes closed, and murmured;

"Young Master, should I go to rescue you tomorrow?"

Yi Xuan was certain that the Lord of Luowu harbored ill intentions towards the young master of the Ji family, as evidenced by the series of changes within the ancient city of Luowu.

Shen Yichen and Mu Qingxue's trip to Fulong Cave Heaven Pavilion tomorrow is likely to be fraught with danger!

After the humiliation at Xianzhong Tower, Yixuan had already decided to stand idly by. However, after sitting for a long time in Xichun Pavilion, Yixuan felt conflicted.

After much deliberation, Yi Xuan concluded that Shen Yichen's danger tomorrow would likely come from the Ji family. As for whether it was Ji Qingyun's scheme, he truly couldn't see through it.

However, one thing is certain: this is aimed at the three major royal families of the Ji family. All thirteen members of the Ji family know that the three major royal families have been waiting for the young master of the Ji family to return to the capital.

"Oh, young master, you've really given me a difficult problem!"

Yi Xuan stood up, looked up at the thick clouds in the sky, and knew that the ancient city of Luowu was once again in the midst of wind and rain!

If the changes in Luowu Ancient City during the last stormy night were his scheme, then this time it was the Lord of Luowu's plan.

Although Yi Xuan was worried about Shen Yichen, he also had a sense of anticipation!

The reason is simple: Yi Xuan wanted to learn about the Lord of Luowu. After all, the Lord of Luowu knew Tian Xianglong, and very few members of the Ji family knew Tian Xianglong. Yi Xuan was really curious that someone from Yanquan Jianghu knew Tian Xianglong.

Yi Xuan asked his master, but his master didn't know why the Lord of Luowu knew. There's something strange about this.

"Flowers fall and spring departs without a trace, the road is long and the dream of returning home is hard to fulfill, has the passionate and turbulent world disturbed your heartstrings?"

Someone has come into the bamboo grove outside Xichun Pavilion.

In the lush and tranquil tree-lined path, a woman with a full head of silver hair and a charming fairy-like dress walked slowly towards us.

Yi Xuan turned his head, suddenly stood up, and his true essence surged around him. This time, Yi Xuan used the Holy Emperor Technique.

Yi Xuan was not only nervous, but also terrified, because the person who came was the woman who had rescued Shen Yi Chen in the rainy night!

Although they only met once, how could Yi Xuan forget him? How could he dare to forget him? This was a figure who could rival Ji Xuanfeng!

However, Yi Xuan knew very well that this person was not Ji Xuanfeng, definitely not Ji Xuanfeng.

"It is easy to show off one's talents, but difficult to conceal one's abilities and remain hidden. With the skills of a senior, you have remained hidden in the martial world for five hundred years, yet the world knows nothing of you. I admire you greatly!"

Yixuan bowed deeply, showing great respect. At the same time, Yixuan was pondering why Luyi Shu had not yet returned.

Without a doubt, this woman came to cause him trouble, or even to take revenge on him. Yi Xuan was not very afraid, because he possessed the Heavenly Aspect.

Yi Xuan activated his internal energy ahead of time because he was afraid he wouldn't have the chance to activate Tian Xiang Long. Now that Tian Xiang Long can be activated at any time, he has nothing to worry about.

"Ji Yixuan, the successor of the Yunxia Mountain royal family's empress, and the top of the three lists on the Hundred Flowers Ranking, did you know that? Your beauty cannot compare to Ji Xuanyan's!"

Shen Yichen's mistress entered Xichun Pavilion, ignoring Yixuan's guard and vigilance.

"Since Ji Xuanyan has abdicated, she knows that her looks are inferior to mine!"

Yi Xuan was not convinced. She was more beautiful than Ji Xuan Yan and was confident that she would rise to the top of the three lists!

"Hmph, little girl, what you saw was only Ji Xuanyan's clone. I was fortunate enough to have seen the combined Ji Xuanyan, who was truly peerless and unparalleled in beauty. If you are lucky enough to see her one day, you will know that what I said today is not an exaggeration!"

"Senior, have you seen my face?"

Yi Xuan remained motionless, and he dared not stop his practice.

“I saw your portrait in the Floating Dragon Cave Pavilion. Ji Xuanyan’s eyes are feigning indifference, while yours are truly indifferent. The reason Ji Xuanyan is slightly better than you is because she has feelings in her heart!”

However, this is truly difficult for you to understand. From the moment you were born, the ruthless ways of Yunxia Mountain have been ingrained in your blood; you can hardly comprehend the beauty of worldly love and relationships!

Shen Yichen's master's wife leaned on the railing, gazing at the distant sky, a hint of sadness in her eyes.

"Senior, are you from the royal family of Yunxia Mountain?"

Yi Xuan was certain that the woman came from the Ji family, but the claim that she was from the royal family of Yunxia Mountain was just his guess.

Shen Yichen's master's wife did not respond, but stared blankly at the ever-changing thick clouds in the sky.

After a long while, Shen Yichen's master's wife turned around and looked at Yixuan.

“Fate seems to be very kind to the Ji family. A thousand years later, the world of martial arts is in turmoil again. The chosen one has emerged from the Ji family. The three branches of the Yunxia Mountain royal family, which have been fighting each other, have now come together in your hands. This is a blessing for the Ji family and a good fortune for the Yunxia Mountain royal family!”

A thousand years later, it seems the pure land of a thousand years ago is truly about to purify this world!

Upon hearing this, Yi Xuan's body trembled violently, and he could not hide his surprise and horror.

"You, you, who exactly are you? It's impossible for someone from the royal family of Yunxia Mountain to be hiding in the martial world!"

A huge wave of emotions surged within Yixuan!

The fact that the three branches of the royal family of Yunxia Mountain have been unified is a secret that even the Ji family members, including the patriarch, do not know!

"Tianxianglong is a divine object of the Tianxiang lineage, Huanmeng Liuyun is the supreme technique of the Yunmeng lineage, and your appearance is the inheritance of the entire Saintess lineage. I really didn't expect that the royal family of Yunxia Mountain would actually unite the three lineages into one!"

After Shen Yichen's teacher's wife finished speaking, she closed her eyes and sighed:

"All of this seems like a blessing, but the difference between blessing and misfortune lies in a single thought, and that single thought is the difference between being heartless and being sentimental!"

Yi Xuan slowly walked to the edge of Xichun Pavilion.

"Since you are a member of the Yunxia Mountain royal family, you should know the rules of the Yunxia Mountain royal family. Your attitude towards me violates the rules of the Yunxia Mountain royal family, doesn't it?"

"Then why are you hiding, Your Highness Xuan?"

Shen Yichen's teacher's wife smiled, but she did not show any respect.

"According to the records of the Yunxia Mountain royal family, only Ji Xuanfeng is still alive among those who left Yunxia Mountain in the past thousand years. Who exactly are you?"

"Hmph, you've outsmarted me, and you still don't know who I am? Sigh, what a waste of your talent and intelligence!"

Upon hearing this, Yi Xuan frowned deeply, and after a moment, exclaimed in surprise:

"You, you are from a thousand years ago!"

Yi Xuan's Tianxianglong floated up in his hand, enveloping him completely, and he was ready to escape at any moment.

"You're so smart! It's a pity, worldly emotions have nothing to do with intellect!"

It seems that Master Shen Yichen's wife has finally admitted it!

Yi Xuan slowly calmed his emotions. He realized that the only way to find out who this person was was to ask the previous empress who was in seclusion.

"Senior, you didn't come here just to let me know who you are, did you?"

Yi Xuan was truly confused. If this person was indeed a member of the royal family of Yunxia Mountain a thousand years ago, why did he rescue Ji Xuanfeng five hundred years ago? Since he had returned to Yunxia Mountain, he couldn't have escaped without a trace!

"Since I went into hiding, you are the first person to force me to show myself. Even Ji Xuanfeng didn't know that back then, and I'm not one to suffer losses. This debt has to be settled!"

Shen Yichen's teacher's wife's eyes were full of smiles!

Yi Xuan looked into those eyes and felt a chill run down his spine. At that moment, he was actually afraid!
