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

Ning Tinglan dragged Mu Yunjian along, while Liu Qingyue pulled Yun Yici along.

The four moved swiftly, disappearing into the bustling street in an instant.

However, Mu Yunjian's hair color was too conspicuous, and the loyal guards behind her couldn't shake him off no matter what they did.

After finally finding a secluded, dimly lit alley filled with clutter, the four of them tacitly seized the opportunity to turn into it.

As the commotion of the arrest outside the alley gradually faded away, Yun Yici and the other three breathed a sigh of relief.

They looked at each other again, feeling a strange sense of relief at having escaped, and then burst into laughter at the same time.

Ning Tinglan was usually indifferent and had never experienced such dramatic emotional ups and downs before, but the corners of his mouth that he couldn't suppress still betrayed his true feelings.

After laughing, Liu Qingyue couldn't help but feel a little worried: "I have a feeling that the person we just beat might be a disciple from another sect. I hope we won't cause trouble for the elders and peak masters."

She was always very cautious and had never done anything so outrageous before.

Mu Yunjian said dismissively, "I don't care which sect he's from. He asked for a beating because he's asking for it. He deserves it."

Ning Tinglan then said, "The four of us went out together, but we were provoked by an impudent person. We had no choice but to take action to protect our fellow disciples, and we did not know the other party's sect."

Liu Qingyue's lips twitched, and she understood. Even if Yun Yici wanted to kill someone, these two would probably only be responsible for handing over the knife and cleaning up the mess.

Yun Yici said, "Senior Sister Liu, there's no need to worry. Everyone saw that the young man attacked me first. Besides, we don't know his sect. So, logically and emotionally, this matter doesn't rise to the level of the sect."

That's why she deliberately interrupted the young man when he started introducing himself.

"It's just that I'm sorry to trouble Senior Sister Liu. We asked for directions earlier and our whereabouts were exposed. I'm afraid the guards will be lying in wait at the herb shop. I'll go with you after things have calmed down."

Liu Qingyue said, "That's alright, I'm not in a hurry. Going a few days later won't cause any problems."

After hiding for a while, the four of them heard the noise outside gradually subside and decided to go to the restaurant they had been to before to meet up with Rong Xuan and the others.

Ning Tinglan noticed that Mu Yunjian's white hair and red eyes were too conspicuous, so she lent him the illusion stone she had chosen from the treasure pavilion.

He originally wanted to save the opportunity to change his cultivation method, but after being advised by Wen Fuyue, he gave up the idea of ​​changing his cultivation method.

Before leaving the Nanhua Sect, he went to the Treasure Pavilion and picked out this Illusion Stone that he thought was very useful.

This spirit stone was infused with illusion magic by a high-level cultivator skilled in illusion techniques, allowing the wearer to freely transform into any appearance they desire.

After hesitating for a while, Mu Yunjian finally accepted Ning Tinglan's kindness.

After transforming himself into someone with black hair and black eyes, the four of them emerged from the dark alley and walked openly down the street to meet up with Rong Xuan and the others.

The journey was smooth and uneventful, and the guards who had been chasing them earlier were nowhere to be seen.

Over there, the disciples of the Nanhua Sect were having a joyful gathering, eating and drinking.

Ji Heng and the boy, who had been beaten black eyes, covered in footprints, and stubbornly refused to utter a sound, stared at each other.

Ji Heng really had a headache.

She was in charge of receiving twelve guests and had been staying at the Lingzhou Square these days.

Unexpectedly, a subordinate just reported that a group of four people suspected to be disciples of the Wuji Dao Sect had been attacked in the city and had fled.

She quickly put down what she was doing and came over to check the situation. At a glance, she recognized the boy who had been beaten into a panda shape as a disciple of the Wuji Dao Sect.

Fortunately, after treatment by the palace physicians, it was just a minor injury. Although it looked serious, it didn't cause any serious damage. He was conscious and still very active.

Nevertheless, Ji Heng still did not want to offend the Wuji Dao Sect and originally planned to send people to expedite the capture of the lawless madman.

Unexpectedly, after his subordinates inquired with the onlookers, Ji Heng learned that the young man had deliberately provoked them by taking on four opponents single-handedly, but was instead defeated and beaten up.

Of course, that's not the point. The point is that among the four is a young man with white hair and red eyes.

She remembered that there was a disciple of the Nanhua Sect who looked just like that. Because of his outstanding and unique appearance, she took another look at him.

Therefore, faced with the choice between offending the Nanhua Sect or the Wuji Dao Sect, Ji Heng chose to feign ignorance and pretend not to know.

That's why Yun Yici and the others could walk around the streets so freely without anyone questioning them.

Under Ji Heng's gaze, the young man suppressed the urge to rub his own buttocks and said in a low voice, "Young City Lord Ji, may I change my clothes first?"

I don't know which bastard Dengxi from the Nanhua Sect actually kicked his butt in the chaos!

Ji Heng said, "Young friend, shall I inform your master to come and pick you up?"

The boy's expression froze for a moment, then he stammered, "No need, no need, I can change my clothes and go back by myself."

He sneaked out.

Since arriving in Yinxian City, the disciples of their Wuji Dao Sect have been confined to their courtyards for cultivation and are not allowed to go out.

For some reason, Elder Li, who was leading the team, seemed to have received some news and all went out today, so he took the opportunity to slip out.

Unexpectedly, he ran into the group from the Nanhua Sect not long after he came out.

The girl's sword was indeed extraordinary, and he decided to test it.

The normal course of events should have been that they became friends after a fight, then introduced themselves to each other, exchanged some harsh words, and then parted ways peacefully.

Who could have predicted that the sword cultivators of the Nanhua Sect would be so lacking in martial ethics?!

Now that things have come to this, if this matter is brought up in front of the elders, running away will be the first mistake. In addition, being beaten by the people of Nanhua Sect will bring shame to the sect. He will probably be punished when he gets back.

Seeing that he didn't want to make a fuss, Ji Heng had a thought and pretended to be hesitant: "Young friend, you suffered in my Immortal City after all. If I let you go back alone like this, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain to the elders of the Wuji Dao Sect."

"Don't worry, I have already ordered my men to search for the madman's whereabouts. I will personally take you back after you have changed your clothes."

Ji Heng was shrewd and experienced, so he would never actually send anyone to capture the disciples of the Nanhua Sect. However, he did an excellent job of putting on a show of concern and care for the Wuji Dao Sect.

These two powerful figures, with the Immortal City sandwiched in the middle, are something Ji Heng doesn't want to offend either side.

The boy wanted to argue further, but seeing that it was getting dark, he began to worry that the elders who had gone out had already returned.

Under Ji Heng's intimidation, he had no choice but to bite the bullet, change his clothes, and obediently follow her, planning to make further arrangements once they reached their lodgings.

The residences of the twelve sects were almost next to each other. Ji Heng led the boy to the vicinity and saw that several guest houses were brightly lit under the deep blue night sky, while most others were still shrouded in darkness.

The two walked through the area, and the young man, seeing that this place was not far from his residence, hurriedly said, "Thank you for escorting me, Young City Lord Ji. I know the way, I'll go back by myself from here on out."

Ji Heng remained silent, looking towards the bustling flower street, where a group of ten dashing disciples were walking towards them.

The boy was also drawn by the sound, and looking in the direction of the sound, he ran into the four enemies he had met during the day.

He instinctively covered his eye, where he had been punched, and said, "They..."

Before Ji Heng could speak, the tightly closed gate of the guest courtyard behind them suddenly opened.
