Dark clouds rolled in from the sky, the river water carried a strong fishy smell, and towering waves surged on the surface. Those watching from the bank thought that Yuan Qi and the handsome man were going to perish at the bottom of the river this time.
Jiang Junjing was extremely anxious, but Yuan Qi was too far away from him. Not only could he not help at all, but he also couldn't even take a step forward.
Giant waves crashed against the shore, forcing onlookers to retreat considerably.
Xiao Zhen appeared worried, but in his heart he was actually overjoyed. Using a thousand-year-old water ghost with immense resentment to deal with Yuan Qi was indeed the right move. Moreover, he had given a fragment of the ghost blade to the water ghost Xuan Yuanlang, so he should be very confident in killing Yuan Qi.
He suddenly noticed that thunder seemed to be brewing in the rolling dark clouds above, with streaks of lightning constantly splitting the clouds, as if it were about to strike the river.
Ghosts and demons can never attract heavenly lightning, and in fact, they are most afraid of heavenly lightning.
Xiao Zhen not only worried about Xuan Yuanlang, but also felt that Xuan Yuanlang was really useless. Even with the Ghost Blade fragments by his side, he still couldn't kill Yuan Qi.
Yuan Qi also realized that even a water ghost from two years ago wouldn't have such great power; Xuan Yuanlang must have some other powerful magical artifacts on him.
A bolt of lightning as thick as a wrist ripped through the sky and struck the densest mass of black mist.
The fierce attack on Yuan Qi and the thousands of wronged souls in Tushan vanished instantly. The dark clouds in the sky dispersed at an extremely fast speed, and in just a few breaths, the azure sky and the dazzling sun were revealed.
The turbulent river surface calmed down at an extremely fast pace.
It failed!
Xiao Zhen stared in shock at what he saw. Yuan Qi and Tu Shanli slowly flew back to the shore from the middle of the river, their clothes completely dry. Their calm and composed demeanor was infuriating. The killing move he had painstakingly prepared had been so easily broken by their opponent.
Xuanyuan Lang vanished without a trace, as if he had never been there.
This useless thing is a complete waste of a Ghost Blade fragment!
"Oh ho!"
...
No one knows who started it, but the crowd cheered. Everyone could see from the fierce battle just now that the evil spirits were very powerful, with thousands of them attacking a little girl and a handsome man together.
Just when everyone thought the little girl and the handsome man were about to perish in the river, things took a sudden turn for the better, and the powerful evil spirit was defeated.
"Seventh Sister!" Jiang Junjing rushed forward and hugged Yuan Qi tightly. "You're amazing!"
Even Jiang Bailu and Jiang Songlu thought Yuan Qi was amazing, and they admired him sincerely.
Jiang Jiulu and Wen Zhujun were so happy they almost jumped for joy.
Wen Zhujun originally thought that with her hundred years of ghostly power, she could at least fight Yuan Qi for two rounds. But after seeing it today, she had a clearer understanding of her own limitations. Fortunately, she did not confront Yuan Qi head-on, otherwise she would have been wiped out long ago.
Yuan Qi became famous.
However, the impact of this evil incident was significant, with many dragon boats destroyed, making it seem too late to hold a dragon boat race.
Yuan Qi saw that Xiao Zhen's face was very ugly, but Xiao Zhen immediately put on a look of surprise and praised Yuan Qi lavishly: "Thanks to you for destroying the evil spirits and saving everyone, including me. I will definitely report this to my father and ask him to reward you."
Yuan Qi didn't think much of it; he was just a water ghost with magical artifacts.
"No need for trouble. It's just a little water ghost, not worth disturbing the Emperor."
Yuan Qi was a little surprised. Xuan Yuanlang had vanished into thin air, and the fragments of the Ghost Blade had fallen into her hands. Xiao Zhen hadn't suffered any backlash at all. Logically speaking, as long as a deal was made with an evil spirit and the evil spirit vanished into thin air, the other party would suffer some backlash.
But Xiao Zhen was completely unharmed. Could it be that the person who made the deal with Xuan Yuanlang was not Xiao Zhen, but someone else?
Or perhaps the two never reached a deal at all?
Xiao Zhen and Jiang Junjing both looked at Tu Shanli at the same time. Although they were both men, they were shocked by Tu Shanli's beauty. They asked Yuan Qi at the same time, "Who is this young master?"
Yuan Qi introduced, "The owner of Yaoguang Pavilion is from Tushanli."
Not only Xiao Zhen and Jiang Junjing, but also the people around them showed expressions of shock and admiration.
They had never heard of the name Tushanli, but Yaoguang Pavilion was a very famous place in Rong Kingdom. The owner was elusive and mysterious, never showing his face in public. To this day, no one knows whether the owner of Yaoguang Pavilion is male or female, old or young.
Everyone was quite surprised by Yuan Qi's introduction.
Even Xiao Zhen was tempted to befriend him.
Yaoguang Pavilion not only has branches in various countries, but also sells many life-saving items that are often unavailable even to those with money. The identity of the owner of Yaoguang Pavilion is a mystery; even the royal family is unsure of who the owner is.
Having grown accustomed to a free and unrestrained life in Tushan, and disliking being fawned over, Tushan simply smiled at everyone and said, "Excuse me."
He pushed through the crowd and disappeared into it in a few steps.
No matter how hard the people at the scene searched, they couldn't find it; it was as if it had vanished into thin air.
Xiao Zhen also regretted not expressing his willingness to befriend her on the spot.
"Seventh Miss, do you know where the owner of Yaoguang Pavilion lives?"
Yuan Qi, naturally aware of Tu Shanli's temperament, directly cut him off: "I don't know. I only met him once by chance. It was just a coincidence that we met today."
"He's a master! He can actually fight against such a powerful evil spirit. I, Nan, admire him!" said a young man in blue.
But many people don't think so. Who would willingly go for something so dangerous?
Maybe they just didn't want to deal with ordinary people, which is why they left.
Miss Seven must be very familiar with this young master from Tushan, otherwise why would he help Miss Seven for no reason?
Jiang Junjing also remembered that the herbs in Yuan Qi's courtyard seemed to have been sent by the manager of Yaoguang Pavilion, which showed that Yuan Qi had a deep friendship with this Tushan.
Yuan Qi glanced at Jiang Junjing: "Second Brother, shouldn't we have everyone pack up and continue training?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Jiang Junjing suddenly realized, and Seventh Sister didn't want to talk too much about things in Tushan.
He immediately turned to Xiao Zhen and said, "Fifth Prince, look how badly our dragon boat is damaged. Shouldn't we take stock of the losses now so I can have some more built?"
Xiao Zhen also knew that there was no use in rushing things with Tu Shan. Besides, it was not certain whether Tu Shan was friend or foe. If they were a powerful enemy, then it would be troublesome.
"Okay, but the dragon boat race is only a few days away, and it might be too late. Why don't we ask if anyone has an old boat from last year's dragon boat race? It should still be usable."
After sending everyone to find their dragon boat, Xiao Zhen silently recited an incantation in his mind, trying to recall the Ghost Blade fragments.
