All eyes immediately turned to Jiang Yixing.
Jiang Yixing, however, remained calm and quickened his pace, becoming increasingly ruthless in his attacks on Xie Shun.
Xie Shun dodged the vines that seemed to appear out of nowhere, and was then buried by a sudden blast of ice and snow. The ice seemed to be extraordinary; his arms went numb from the cold after just a moment of contact.
Looking down again, I saw that the entire area of skin had turned bluish-purple.
Xie Shun's expression darkened, and he began to contradict his earlier assertion that this battle would not be so easy to win.
However, Xie Shun did not consider the possibility of him losing. After all, they had an absolute advantage in numbers, and no matter how strong Jiang Yixing and his group were, they could never maintain a sufficient supply of spiritual energy forever.
Xie Shun's idea was also the common idea of the cultivators in this world. Due to the thin spiritual energy, the cultivators in this world actually had very little spiritual power, and their combat ability was also insufficient. Xie Shun and his group had the advantage of their cultivation techniques, which was already quite good. However, if they were to face Jiang Yixing and Rong Hang, they would definitely not be able to compete.
Jiang Yixing and Rong Hang will show them the facts that battles between cultivators are not won by sheer numbers. Powerful cultivators can often fight against thousands, and the difference in their cultivation levels cannot be bridged by sheer numbers.
Jiang Yixing had returned to the Nascent Soul stage. She hadn't yet recovered from the grief of leaving the Immortal Realm, but the sudden encounter with battle naturally filled her with a sense of excitement. With a wave of her hand, she summoned a vast expanse of green plants, causing the entire earth to tremble.
The plants seemed to have gained sentience, targeting the person they were attacking. In the blink of an eye, more than half of the minions in front of them had fallen.
Rong Hang followed closely behind, freezing the remaining half of the crowd firmly in place, rendering them immobile.
Xie Shun couldn't accept this shocking turn of events. Just a second ago, they had an absolute advantage, but the next second, they were almost completely wiped out.
He glanced at Jiang Yixing and Rong Hang with trembling eyes. What kind of cultivation technique was this? How could they summon so much spiritual energy?
The four family heads still had the strength to fight, but at this moment, fear surged into their hearts, and they felt that they absolutely could not defeat the two monsters in front of them.
They exchanged a glance, and without further hesitation, turned and ran.
Several family heads still had some supplies left, so they tore up the scrolls and ran away, completely disregarding the family's death squads they had abandoned.
Jiang Yixing and Rong Hang did not pursue the matter further, but instead turned around to inquire about Ji Fu's situation.
"How are you? Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"
Jiang Yixing frowned. This whole thing started because of her, and she would feel terrible if Ji Fu got hurt.
Ji Fu watched as the family head fled in a sorry state. He had already transformed into human form and was now lying weakly in Gu Chun's arms.
Ji Fu shook his head: "It's nothing serious, just a deficiency of qi and blood. It will be fine after half a month of replenishment."
Jiang Yixing nodded, noted down his symptoms, and planned to find more medicinal herbs for Ji Fu when he got back.
Gu Chun and Ji Fu noticed the sudden increase in the intensity of Jiang Yixing and Rong Hang's spiritual power, but they didn't ask any further questions.
Ji Fu said, "Now that the four major families know that I am the spirit of the artifact, they will definitely not let this go."
Gu Chun: "Their familiarity with this matter suggests that our previous deduction was correct; the true form of Ji Fu should be stored in one of these places."
Jiang Yixing agreed with his judgment, "Given Xie Shun's domineering nature, I think the most likely culprit is the Xie family."
Besides the four of them, there was a group of captives from a large family who were unable to move.
Gu Chun noticed Jiang Yixing's gaze and said, "I will notify the alliance to handle the follow-up."
Jiang Yixing nodded. Some of them hadn't been knocked unconscious, but they had witnessed their patriarch abandoning them and running away. At this moment, they felt a deep sense of loss and the pain of their faith collapsing.
Jiang Yixing shook his head. They had followed the wrong people; they were the ones who were pitiful.
Now that the key figures had escaped, the four of them were not in a hurry to go back. They planned to stay nearby and sort out the overall sequence of events.
Upon arriving at the hotel, Jiang Yixing took out the ancient books his master had found. The font used was the ancient script from the Immortal Realm. If Jiang Yixing hadn't learned it when he was a child, he wouldn't have been able to understand a single word.
However, both Jiang Yixing and Rong Hang recognized the font, so they each took a copy and quickly flipped through it.
Before long, the past world appeared in their memories like a complete painting.
Jiang Yixing breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if her confusion had been resolved. "So that's how it is."
Rong Hang's expression was calm, but his gaze became heavier. "What they did is enough to warrant their deaths a million times over."
Jiang Yixing, his expression also cold and hard, nodded.
Knowing this secret, Jiang Yixing couldn't contain himself and summoned Gu Chun and Ji Fu.
Ji Fu still looked somewhat weak, and his face was a little pale.
Jiang Yixing let him get closer, reached out and placed his hand on Ji Fu's wrist. Clear spiritual energy flowed slowly into Ji Fu's body, and Ji Fu instantly felt comfortable and relaxed, as if he were experiencing the vitality brought by the spring.
Ji Fu thanked him earnestly, but Jiang Yixing stopped him: "You were injured because of me. This is just a temporary fix. You still need to go back and rest for a while."
Gu Chun listened to Jiang Yixing's instructions even more attentively than Ji Fu. Jiang Yixing watched as Gu Chun, who always had a serious expression, now seemed to be listening to some important meeting, looking very serious.
Jiang Yixing couldn't help but laugh, so much so that she bent over and fell towards Rong Hang.
Rong Hang steadily supported Jiang Yixing with his hands.
After laughing enough, Jiang Yixing stopped laughing and told Ji Fu and Gu Chun the stories they had read in the book about the past.
"The records of the Immortal Realm state that a small realm, due to its weak spiritual power and declining Taoist magic, came to the Immortal Realm for help. At that time, the Immortal Realm was at the height of its Taoist magic. A skilled diviner predicted that the Immortal Realm would gradually decline in the future, so he suggested that the two realms communicate with each other. The Immortal Realm would provide cultivation techniques, and the small realm would not need to provide anything. It would only need to return the cultivation techniques and inheritances that it had preserved to the Immortal Realm when it declined."
Ji Fu: "Such a thing actually happened? We've never heard of it before."
Jiang Yixing pointed to a line in the book, "It says here that the Immortal Realm gathered the power of two great weapon refiners at that time to forge the Yellow Sacred Bell. This bell can help people to be clear-headed and has the effect of connecting the two realms."
The contents of this book look very familiar; it is clearly Ji Fu's skill.
Gu Chun: "So this Huang Shengzhong should be the original body that Ji Fu lost."
Jiang Yixing: "That's right, and the book also mentions that every twenty years, two people will be selected from the minor realms to go to the Immortal Spirit Realm to inherit the cultivation techniques."
