The whole family went mad, but the junior sister turned the tables and her luck soared.

The black-robed, mad cultivator's gaze was sharp as a hawk's, his eyes carrying a hidden sense of disdain and contempt.

He stood alone at the outer gate, a formidable figure who could hold off ten thousand.

It's so bad that no one outside can get in, and no one inside can get out.

Ji Heng continued to persuade Yun Yici, saying, "I heard that this person knows the Lingwei Sect. Perhaps if your master intervenes, he will back down for the sake of the Nanhua Sect."

Wasn't the time that the mad cultivator gave them precisely so that they could call for help and find someone?

Yun Yici thought to herself that it was no use for her master to intervene; only Li Ji's intervention would be effective.

However, Li Ji set off for Chanyin Temple with Mingwu a few days ago.

They were originally on their way back to the sect, but she wanted to trick the Wuji Dao Sect and used the excuse that Shen Huaichuan's whereabouts were uncertain to stay in Yinxian City.

Yun Yici said to the nervous Ji Heng, Lu Yiguang and the other two, "You don't need to worry about me. I might know this person."

Ying Ren was the previous lord of Jiuqi City.

Ji Heng asked with delight, "Really?"

However, her joy quickly turned to worry. Knowing someone doesn't mean you have a relationship with them and can persuade them to lay down their weapons.

For example, Yun Yici's master, Wen Fuyue, is famous throughout the world and everyone knows him, but it would be naive to think that just anyone can approach him and befriend him.

Yun Yici did not deliberately lower her voice, and her words naturally reached Ying Ren's ears.

He subconsciously looked at the girl who was being protected by the crowd, but to his surprise, she didn't avoid his gaze and instead looked up to meet his eyes.

Ying Ren's pupils seemed to be filled with a sea of ​​fire and knives piercing straight into the depths of one's consciousness. The undeniable pressure caused Qin Zhen, Ji Heng, and the others to feel a stinging pain in their consciousness just from a single glance.

But Yun Yici was not afraid at all. Not only did she exchange a glance with Ying Ren, but she also stepped into Ying Ren's attack range before Ji Heng and the others could react.

Ying Ren became interested. He had previously been in the clan, and even the younger members of the clan, including the Nine-Headed Serpent, were terrified of him.

If this woman is like a newborn calf unafraid of tigers, then she keeps saying that she recognizes him.

He lived in the human realm for two hundred years, leaving no trace, following the trail left by Cheng Tian, ​​and never revealing his name or origin to any cultivator.

Ji Heng and Qin Zhen, who had finally recovered, were all shocked to see Yun Yici playing with fire all by himself.

Lu Yiguang, who tried to get closer to protect Yun Yici, was held tightly by Qin Zhen.

"Young friend Yun, come back quickly!"

"Fellow Daoist Yun!"

Yun Yici muttered to himself, "A few days ago, I met a female city lord while I was traveling. She is said to be the sister-in-law of the previous city lord."

"Because the previous city lord's only son was unruly and liked to travel, she temporarily took over the position of city lord."

"Who would have thought that the retainers left behind by the previous city lord were very dissatisfied with her and plotted to kill her when she went out."

Ji Heng and the others were listening intently, but as they listened, they realized that Yun Yici was starting to tell a story.

They were completely baffled, but then Ying Ren's expression changed, and he asked in surprise, "Who exactly are you? Is she alright?"

When he came to the human world two hundred years ago, Li Ji originally wanted to come with him, but Shi Tian suddenly abandoned his mission.

He originally thought that Shi Tian was just being temperamental and would return to Jiuqi City to take over as the city lord in at most fifty years.

Judging from what this woman said, Li Ji had been the lord of Jiuqi City for two hundred years, and her former subordinates wanted to kill her.

Yun Yici smiled slyly: "If you want to know what happens next, please come to my senior brother's residence for a cup of tea."

Ying Ren's face darkened, wanting to let this female cultivator know that he was not so easily fooled.

Yun Yici quickly mouthed to him, "Ying Ren."

Ying Ren was now certain that the woman had seen Li Ji.

He glanced back at the unapproachable outer pavilion, thinking to himself that he should put aside the matter of forcing Lingwei Sect to meet today and first find out about the matter of Shitian and Liji.

However, the monks may run away, but the temple cannot. As long as the outer pavilion remains here, the people of the Lingwei Sect will eventually show up.

Ying Ren, who had been standing motionless at the entrance of the outer pavilion, finally descended the steps. His movement caused all the cultivators gathered there to gasp and go on high alert.

Ying Ren looked at Yun Yici with an indifferent expression: "You'd better not try anything funny. If you lie to me, everyone in your manor will die."

Yun Yici nodded and turned to signal the guards who had surrounded the outer pavilion to make way.

She walked in front, and Ying Ren followed behind.

This scene was nothing short of a wonder of the world to Ji Heng and his companions.

Seeing that Yun Yici and the other person had walked quite a distance, Ji Heng suddenly realized: "Who exactly is this female city lord that young friend Yun mentioned?"

She had a premonition that they would never know what would happen next.

On their way back with Ying Ren, Yun Yici bumped into Wen Fuyue, who was rushing over in a hurry, carrying Li Tanqian and the imperial edict.

Rong Xuan and the others couldn't keep up with Wen Fuyue's speed and chased after her.

Seeing that Yun Yici was safe and sound, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

When they saw Ying Ren behind Yun Yici, everyone's hearts tightened again.

This outfit... doesn't it make him look like some simpleton from the demon realm?

As everyone looked at Ying Ren, Ying Ren was also sizing up Di Zhao and Mu Yunjian.

He didn't care about the other cultivators, but this phoenix and the demon carrying the aura of their Nine-Headed Serpent caught his attention.

Not wanting to reveal too much in the human world, he took the initiative to say, "I have something I want to ask you. Let's talk at your house."

"I would not have resorted to massacring the city unless I was forced to."

He had a premonition that he might find Chengtian today.

Ji Heng and her men followed Wen Fuyue's group cautiously, only catching the second half of the sentence.

She was on tenterhooks, watching Ying Ren enter the Xie family mansion with her own eyes, and only felt relieved when the city remained calm as night fell.

Ying Ren followed Yun Yici and his group back to the Xie residence for two reasons: first, the safety of Li Ji and the current situation of Shi Tian; and second, the whereabouts of Cheng Tian.

At first glance, Ying Ren mistakenly thought that Mu Yunjian, like the Nine-Headed Serpent he had taken in, was a offspring of Cheng Tian and E Yao.

However, Mu Yunjian's bone age didn't match up.

The two entered the Xie residence and talked for an entire afternoon before finally obtaining the information the other wanted.

It turns out that Ying Ren had been searching for Cheng Tian in the human realm for two hundred years in accordance with his father's last wish, but all he found were rumors that Lingwei Sect and Jiuying only existed in legends.

Until a year ago, when he learned that the Lingwei Sect had reappeared and the outer pavilion was open, he rushed to the outer pavilion without stopping.

Wen Fuyue asked curiously, "Did you hear the news in Seven Star City? Isn't that place quite close to Yinxian City?"

If he were to use his sword, he would arrive in at most half a month. Ying Ren's cultivation would only progress faster, so how could it have taken him more than a year to get there?

Ying Ren turned his face away and said stubbornly, "Is it close? I think the path in the human realm is completely different from the path in the demon realm."

"I boarded the spirit ship to Yinxian City, but landed in Fushan City instead."

Hey bro, you're going the wrong way.

Everyone remained silent, afraid that Ying Ren would become angry and embarrassed, and dared not expose the fact that the other party had no sense of direction.

The Emperor had a lot to say on this point: "It's normal that we're unfamiliar with the human realm since we've just arrived. You should take in some human servants like I have."
