"Go and seize her! Anyone who dares to stop me will be killed!"

Feng Qun gave the order, and Feng Jun, Feng Luo, and Feng Yan, along with a group of elders and shadow guards, surrounded Ji Jiuying and Gong Mingyue.

The Jiang family, who were under the command of the Feng family, also stepped forward to surround them.

Si Yu and Hua Li exchanged a glance and then appeared behind Ji Jiuying and Gong Mingyue.

"What? Does the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion also want to oppose our Four Directions City?" Feng Qun sneered.

"How could we possibly oppose the Four Directions City? It's just that... Ji Jiuying is someone our Heavenly Mystery Pavilion must protect. Anyone who tries to harm her is going against our Heavenly Mystery Pavilion!"

"Elder Feng, aren't you the one opposing our Heavenly Mystery Pavilion now?" Si Yu smiled, but the smile didn't reach her eyes.

“Ji Jiuying is a member of our Feng family. She made a mistake, and as her elder, I naturally have to discipline her. I just didn’t expect that your Tianji Pavilion would even interfere in other people’s family affairs. Isn’t that overstepping your bounds?”

Hua Li chuckled lightly: "Elder Feng, if you ask me, the feng shui of your Feng family ancestral hall isn't very good. Burning it down would actually be much better for your Feng family!"

Upon hearing this, Feng Qun's face turned as black as ink. Ji Jiuying chuckled softly as she looked at the two of them.

Yin Han and Zi Yu exchanged a glance, and then countless shadow guards, their bodies completely covered in black cloth except for their eyes, appeared and surrounded the Feng family members.

The Lan family and the Yaoguang clan also immediately drew their weapons.

"You're asking for it!"

Feng Qun was already angry, and seeing this made him even angrier. Veins bulged on his aged face: "What are you still standing there for? Why don't you grab her for me?"

Dust billowed, and countless powerful spiritual energies swept in.

Feng Che's heart sank, but he continued his triumphant march until he reached Ji Jiuying's back: "Jiu'er."

"Second Uncle, they've hidden Grandma."

"Your uncle knows that nothing will happen between your fifth uncle and her."

Bang! Bang!

Powerful spiritual energy collided continuously in mid-air, and the fierce momentum was unstoppable. The Ice Crimson Twin Phoenixes in Ji Jiuying's hands emitted a buzzing sound, and actually cut off the sweeping spiritual energy.

The wind rose and the clouds surged, and blood instantly stained the earth red.

The onlookers stared wide-eyed, their very souls trembling.

It truly lives up to its reputation as a divine artifact, but her cultivation level is ultimately inferior to that of the Phoenix Clan.

Ji Jiuying did not back down, but faced it head-on. Adversity is one of the ways to train yourself to become strong.

Fighting against opponents of higher levels depletes both mental and spiritual energy extremely quickly. If she didn't have a strong will and a constant supply of spiritual energy, she would never have been able to persevere to this point.

Feng Qun noticed that the powerful man behind her had been protecting her the whole time. This battle seemed to be a training exercise for her. However, he had a feeling that if he used a killing move on her, the man would definitely do anything to kill him, or even the entire Sifang City.

But he had no way out and could only take a gamble to find a way out for the Feng family. However, he never thought that it would backfire. If this situation were broken today, he would be met with endless pursuit, and the Feng family... would not be able to escape either.

As Ji Jiuying unleashed her spiritual power, Feng Qun involuntarily took a few steps back, staring at Ji Jiuying in disbelief.

In all his years of life, he had never seen a spiritual cultivator with such profound spiritual power in their teens. If she hadn't been the one designated by the ancestor of the Feng family, he would have devoted everything to nurturing her and making her the number one person in Sifang City.

But between the Feng family and her, he chose the former!

The scene descended into chaos, but the man behind Ji Jiuying never made a move.

Feng Luo fought his way through the crowd and quickly arrived in front of Ji Jiuying, where they faced each other.

The divine weapons clashed in mid-air, sparks flying. Feng Luo showed no mercy because she was his niece, and Ji Jiuying did not underestimate him either.

Another collision brought the two closer together.

"Ji Jiuying, where is your mother?"

Ji Jiuying stared coldly at him, the blood lotus between her brows seeming to burst forth and devour the person before her.

You'll never know!

A flash of madness and murderous intent crossed Feng Luo's eyes. Ji Jiuying frowned. Feng Luo was her mother's older brother, but wasn't his obsession with her mother a little too much?

Bang!

The two separated again, and Feng Luo smiled as they did so.

"You think I wouldn't know if you didn't tell me? As for you, you'll probably never see her again..."

In the instant Ji Jiuying was filled with doubt, Feng Qun's spiritual technique struck again, intentionally or unintentionally drawing Ji Jiuying towards the top of the ancestral hall.

Just then.

The entire earth was trembling violently, as if something was starting up underground. Everyone stopped using their weapons, filled with confusion.

Gong Mingyue flashed behind Ji Jiuying, holding her in one arm and gathering spiritual power in the other to strike Feng Qun. Feng Qun was instantly blasted away by the powerful force.

But Feng Qun didn't care. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and his triumphant gaze fell on Ji Jiuying.

There was no time to think, it all happened in an instant!

Countless beams of blood-red light extended from the ground, finally landing on Ji Jiuying and wrapping around her. Gong Mingyue's hand, which was holding her, was instantly shaken off, his hand stained with blood. His heart sank, and he tried to shatter the red light but could not budge.

"Ah Yue, what is this?"

Ji Jiuying frowned and looked at Gong Mingyue with concern. The red light kept swirling around her, refusing to leave, but it didn't harm her in the slightest.

"Jiu'er, don't touch these red lights. They look like some kind of ancient blood sacrifice."

Gong Mingyue once again gathered a force and struck at the red lights. Bang! The scattered red lights reassembled.

Feng Qun and the Feng family members exchanged glances and smiled, but their smiles froze on their faces.

Feng Yu's body was also enveloped by the red light, and his body involuntarily floated into the air.

"Yu'er!"

The Feng family was shocked and panicked instantly. What was going on?

Why is Yu'er also entangled by that force?

Ji Jiuying was also puzzled. She was certain that the red light was a method used by the Feng family to capture her. Judging from the reactions of the Feng family members, Feng Yu was bound by the red light just like her. It must have been some kind of accident. Something flashed through her mind, but she couldn't grasp it no matter what she did!

Jiang Xin's heart sank upon seeing this. She rushed towards Feng Yu's location without hesitation. However, as soon as she approached the red light, she was instantly blasted away and fainted.

"My dear!"

Jiang Ling darted forward and caught Jiang Xin as she fell from mid-air.

The red light grew increasingly intense, and the stench of blood in the air made everyone frown, a nameless fear spreading from the depths of their souls.
