Ji Weihang entered the Wish Game to find her missing enemy and resolve a fifty-year-old grudge. She never expected that within the game, she'd accidentally fulfill her childhood dream of saving...
Chapter 26 Ying Feiqiong
The news that the young city lord who disappeared in the Three Realms Secret Realm returned to Yingping City on the fastest cloud boat "Xingzhoushun" spread throughout the city in an instant. Wei Hang came all the way and heard many residents talking about this while drinking.
There are not many cloud boats that can stay in the sky above Yingping City without being shot down. When Ying Feiqiong landed, many residents saw it.
Ji Weihang listened to the residents' private discussion about the "Young City Lord's" inappropriate behavior and moved towards the City Lord's Mansion.
The city planning of Guiyu is roughly the same, and the City Lord's Mansion is located in the center of the city. Wei Hang easily found the City Lord's Mansion where Ying Feiqiong lived.
However... She looked at the dark Ying Mansion, which was the only dark area in Yingping City, like a black hole swallowing up the light. Not only was the environment dim, but the atmosphere was also much more gloomy. The oppressive atmosphere almost merged with the darkness that had become a substance.
This environment... was tailor-made for her.
The Shadow Steps that Wei Hang learned allowed her to blend into the darkness like a shadow. Combined with her semi-ghostly qualities, it could be said that she entered the dark City Lord's Mansion like a fish swimming into a river.
In the silent and dark City Lord's Mansion, a dark shadow moved rapidly and soon arrived outside a yard full of bright red flowers.
Ji Weihang poked his head out from the shadows and looked inside from outside the yard.
She had been to Yingping City several times before and had familiarized herself with the layout of the City Lord's Mansion. This should be Ying Feiqiong's courtyard, but she didn't know whether the owner was here now.
She peeked out openly, not worrying at all that anyone might see her.
Yingping City Lord Ying Zhaohun is a person who does not like external things and has no desires. In addition, as a Gui Xiu, he does not need to eat grains to maintain energy activities, and only needs to absorb the power of the underworld to maintain his body. Therefore, there are no servants in the City Lord's Mansion.
"Hey." When Wei Hang looked into the yard, a familiar frivolous voice sounded behind her, with a slightly upturned ending, "Isn't this our youth role model? How come he has started to do such sneaky things?"
Weihang looked back following the sound.
Ying Feiqiong leaned against the porch with a smile on her face, her emerald green shirt fluttering in the night breeze. The moonlight illuminated half of her body, and her emerald green eyes seemed to be shining.
She smiled and said, "Why don't you go through the main entrance if you want to kill me? My Master's wife won't stop you."
Ying Feiqiong's master's wife is the mayor of Yingping City.
Rumor has it that due to Ying Feiqiong's outstanding strength, the city lord, who is still in his prime, is afraid that she will seize power, and often sends her out to carry out dangerous missions that are likely to cost her her life.
There are also rumors that she went to the Three Realms Secret Realm to be a sanitation worker because she was forced by the city lord. Otherwise, with her lawless and lazy character, she would never become a sanitation worker protecting the younger generation.
However, Ji Weihang pulled out the Styx Sword and swung it directly. All this had nothing to do with her purpose.
Ying Feiqiong didn't dodge or evade. She watched her run into the barrier that had been set up long ago, and laughed: "When I saw He Yi being locked up, I wanted to try locking you up like this. Does this count as revenge for He Yi?"
As she laughed, she covered her chest with her hands and pretended to say, "Come to think of it, my heart starts pounding with fear when I think of the way you tried to kill me before. Just tell me, you are so scary."
Ji Weihang casually broke the barrier that imitated himself and fought back: "Are you considered a human?"
"Oh, you are being racist." Ying Feiqiong said, "Why aren't we Guixiu considered human beings?"
"You know who is racist." Ji Weihang replied casually. She was fiddling with the dark power nodes on the barrier.
"You have something against us." Ying Feiqiong said, "Why, do you think we are xenophobic?"
"It has nothing to do with me." Each city has different racial strategies, and even in the human world there are differences. This is caused by various historical factors. She doesn't think she has the right to comment.
Ji Weihang finally dispersed the nodes of dark power, and the barrier immediately fell apart like a wooden house with its spine pulled out.
"You always like to show off your strength with your words, even though you care deeply about me." Ying Feiqiong waved her sleeves, and thousands of black threads instantly formed a dense net, trapping Wei Hang in the middle. She smiled and said, "Is it because you find this is not classy at all that you rarely talk now?"
The black line surrounding himself looked extremely thin and seemed to be fragile, but it left fine blood lines on Wei Hang's skin.
Wei Hang used his dark power to heal the wound and looked at the thin black line without moving rashly.
"After your spiritual power was released, your strength is indeed much stronger than in the game." Ying Feiqiong sat on a bench by the porch and said leisurely, "But with the natural resistance between spiritual power and nether power, I'm afraid you can't fully exert your strength, right?"
"On my way back, I urgently reviewed your information over the years. You should have used your body as a furnace to transform your spiritual veins to accommodate the dark power. No one has ever tried and succeeded in this way. As the first person to achieve enlightenment in this way, you have been promoted faster than you could imagine.
"As a price, you must constantly control their balance to prevent the power from getting out of control, right?"
Ji Weihang looked at Ying Feiqiong, who didn't take action but instead talked a lot of nonsense as if she was giving him a lecture, and said, "You didn't take action, are you guilty or do you have other purposes?"
"It took me 367 years to achieve a breakthrough. The opportunities and difficulties I encountered are unimaginable to ordinary people." Ying Feiqiong seemed not to hear her words and sighed, "But it only took you 68 years to achieve a breakthrough... It's almost just a fraction of mine."
The pair of green eyes looked at her, as if there were some emotions rippling in them, "With you here, the geniuses of this generation can only be considered mediocre. Tell me, is this world unfair to people?"
Ji Weihang didn't take action because she wanted to see what Ying Feiqiong wanted to say and what she wanted to do. It didn't mean that she wanted to listen to Ying Feiqiong's rambling nonsense.
Can you fight properly? Are you looking down on others? She could no longer bear it. Her figure flashed, blending into the darkness to avoid the black line, and appeared directly beside Ying Feiqiong, stabbing Ying Feiqiong's neck with a sword.
Ying Feiqiong tilted her body and the sword pierced her shoulder.
"Why didn't you stab the abdomen this time? Did you know it wouldn't work?" Ying Feiqiong's ethereal body dissipated like mist, and she was still chatting, "Tell me, you've been so close to me for the past fifty years, just three cities away, and you never came to find me. You're really patient."
"I heard that you often go to the Territory Lord's place, and you are the nominal master's wife of the Young Territory Lord? I don't know..."
Ji Weihang was really annoyed, so she made some hand gestures and drew some talismans to seal Ying Feiqiong's mouth.
This happened suddenly, and Ying Feiqiong had not expected it. She was successfully sealed. Ying Feiqiong opened her mouth but could not make any sound. She opened her eyes wide in surprise.
"Did Bai Shenqi teach you this?" A voice suddenly sounded, and Ji Weihang's figure flashed and distanced himself from Ying Feiqiong, looking vigilantly towards the place where the voice came from.
On the roof next to them, a black-clothed strange cultivator with red hair and green eyes who looked exactly like Ying Feiqiong was lazily leaning on one leg and looking down at them.
"Lord Ying." Ji Weihang bowed politely before answering, "Yes."
She was not afraid of the famous Ying Zhaohun, but she didn't want to fight two people at once, which would be troublesome and her chance of winning would not be high.
Bai Shenqi is the current mayor of Baiping City. She is a strange cultivator in the Out-of-Body Stage and is good at talismans. Wei Hang learned a large part of his talisman skills from her. Despite this, their relationship is not good.
Wei Hang knew that Ying Zhaohun and Bai Shenqi had been enemies for hundreds of years. She already had her own troubles and didn't want to get dragged into the grudges of the older generation, so she added, "But our relationship is pretty ordinary."
Ying Feiqiong pondered for a long time before removing the sealing spell and interrupted, "Why did you become so cowardly when you met my master's wife? Didn't you think that the woman behind me might have been involved in that matter?"
Weihang glanced at her and said nothing.
"Fei Qiong..." At first glance, Ying Zhaohun looks similar to Ying Fei Qiong, lazy and casual, but upon closer inspection, her cold and hard outline and temperament can quickly make people know - she is not a gentle person.
Even though her voice slowed down, it still made people tremble all over - that was the instinctive reaction of humans when they felt threatened.
"I just recently found out about your cooperation with the three tribes. I'm already very angry. Now you want to divert the blame and ask me to clean up your mess?"
"Isn't it the master's wife's job to clean up the mess for her disciple?" Ying Feiqiong seemed to be unafraid and said with a smile, "Do you want me to die in her hands? Then there will be no successor to Yingping City, right?"
"I can still live for a long time, and I won't worry about no one to take over." Ying Zhaohun's eyes turned to Ji Weihang and said condescendingly, "What happened to Ming Yanzong back then has nothing to do with my Ying Pingcheng. It was all done by Ying Feiqiong alone. I hope you don't involve Ying Pingcheng."
Ji Weihang knew what she meant. Even if Yingping City disliked humans, it was still an alliance with humans under the management of Guiyu. The demons and monsters could get involved in the extermination of the Mingxian Sect, but they could not. This was not a harmless mistake that could be tolerated by the domain master just because of one or two military merits.
Wei Hang knew that Guiyu was not involved in the massacre that year, so he nodded.
Ying Zhaohun glanced at Ying Feiqiong coldly and disappeared on the roof.
At the same time, the barrier of the City Lord's Mansion was opened to prevent their fight from spreading outside the City Lord's Mansion.
"You have been abandoned." Ji Weihang looked at Ying Feiqiong and said, his tone was not one of gloating, but just pure sarcasm.
Ying Feiqiong was not affected at all, and said with a smile: "So what if I am abandoned? If you can't kill me here, it will not affect my status in Yingping City."
"You should know that it's impossible for me to die in your hands as easily as in the game."
Wei Hang knew that Ying Feiqiong had reason to be confident.
Now is a suitable night for ghost cultivators to travel. This is Ying Feiqiong's home where she has lived for hundreds of years. The concentration of dark energy here is high, and her strength will be easily affected. However, Ying Feiqiong, who has lived hundreds of years longer than herself, is inherently stronger.
It can be said that Ying Feiqiong really had the right time, place and people.
But so what?
Ji Weihang made a hand gesture with an expressionless face, and a golden and red dragon and phoenix emerged from his arms with a roar, and stood on both sides, staring at Ying Feiqiong eagerly; the Danfeng sword drew a fiery red arc in the air, and the Danfeng's flames could burn almost all evil things, and the dark energy in the air seemed to make a sizzling sound as if it was burning.
"Then it will be more difficult for you to die in my hands," she said.
Ying Feiqiong couldn't help laughing.
Wei Hang attacked directly with the Styx Sword in hand.
The Danfeng led the way, and the Chaos Dragon and Phoenix guarded both sides, burning up all the black lines extending to Weihang.
Under the light of the phoenix fire, the pair of red eyes looked like a burning and shining flame.
Looking into her eyes, Ying Feiqiong smiled and bent his index finger, saying, "You are still as reckless as you were when you were a kid."
A golden bell suddenly fell from the sky, and with a loud humming sound it sank deeply into the ground. Wei Hang, along with the Chaos Dragon and Phoenix and other creatures, were all firmly buried under the bell.
Ying Feiqiong knocked on the bell cover, and the clear and ancient bell sound immediately spread throughout the City Lord's Mansion. She smiled and said, "It sounds good."
