Who are you? Why are you here?
Everyone gripped their weapons tightly. Before making a move, they at least asked first, which was the difference between them, the righteous people, and the evil ones.
Feng Jiutian frowned and said succinctly, "Qing Jiu, a disciple of Immortal Kan Yun from the Yijing Sect."
"A disciple of Immortal Kan Yun?"
After exchanging glances for a moment, two words flashed across their faces: "Disbelief!"
Immortal Kan Yun rarely appeared in public, but everyone grew up hearing his stories and he was their idol and a model of cultivation. Yet this person before them, seemingly so young and with a decent demeanor, was holding a woman in his arms and had the audacity to claim himself an immortal's disciple—wasn't this tarnishing the immortal's reputation?
"You audacious scoundrel, how dare you tarnish the reputation of Immortal Kan Yun!"
"Appearing here out of nowhere, and flying out of the Abyss of Demons, how could it be a normal person?"
"How could cultivators be safe and sound here? We have lost all our spiritual power, yet these two show no abnormalities. If they are not demons, they must be some kind of anomaly. Everyone should kill them!"
"Hugging and cuddling in broad daylight, only demons would be so wanton."
"The immortal is right. They are the greatest enemy of all our sects. If they are not eliminated, they will surely become a great calamity for us!"
"The Abyss of Demons has only ever seen the dead enter, never the living. If they are not demons, they must be connected to them. Kill them to prevent future troubles!"
"That's right, we must not let them escape, lest there be widespread bloodshed!"
The crowd dispersed, forming a semi-encirclement around Feng Jiutian and Xiang Wan, seemingly intending to kill them.
For those they deem unreasonable, they resort to killing at the slightest disagreement. This is the "righteous path" that Feng Jiutian speaks of. Xiang Wan really wants to laugh at him.
Feng Jiutian hadn't expected that the people who came here would misunderstand him, so he explained again, "It seems that everyone has some misunderstandings. I am not a demon, nor am I a member of the demon race."
"Hmph! Immortal Kan Yun just finished his prediction, and you all came out of the Demon Abyss. Would an immortal lie to us?"
"Furthermore, we can't use any spiritual power here. Where did you get your spiritual power from? Could it be that you absorbed all the spiritual power we lost?"
"Stealing someone else's spiritual power is an irreconcilable enmity! Prepare to die!"
Enraged, someone drew their sword and slashed at Feng Jiutian and Xiang Wan. Not wanting to kill anyone, Feng Jiutian, carrying Xiang Wan, teleported outside the encirclement.
"Demon, don't run away!"
These people wanted to give chase, but Feng Jiutian simply took Xiang Wan and fled, leaving behind a group of people with angry faces, stomping their feet on the sand and stones.
To be honest, Feng Jiutian was somewhat wronged. When Immortal Kan Yun took him as a disciple, he was still young, and because he lived a secluded life, he rarely even interacted with the disciples of the Yijing Sect, so very few people knew him. Therefore, it was normal that people from other sects didn't recognize him. But Feng Jiutian didn't believe that Qiaoyin didn't know him.
At the apprenticeship ceremony, Qiaoyin was sitting in the audience. Even though he had grown up and was somewhat different from when he was a child, his aura remained unchanged, and she could never have failed to recognize him!
In truth, Qiaoyin recognized him the moment he appeared, but her puppet was destroyed, and her spiritual power was nearly depleted. Given her temperament, she was bound to be angry. Especially seeing Feng Jiutian appear here unharmed with his beauty, she felt a little embarrassed. Besides, after so many years, it was perfectly normal for her to claim she hadn't recognized him at first glance. Therefore, Qiaoyin remained silent.
After breaking out of the encirclement, Xiang Wan found it somewhat amusing and laughed out loud, causing Feng Jiutian to turn around frequently.
"Zi Yan, what are you laughing at?"
"Master, they really are as interesting as you said. They start wielding swords (cheeky) at the drop of a hat, it's really fun."
Feng Jiutian's lips twitched. He really didn't know how to explain to Xiang Wan that if those people had spiritual power, they probably wouldn't have the leisure to say such things.
The two of them left, leaving a group of people staring blankly. One could imagine how those people would gossip about Feng Jiutian and the Yijing Sect after they returned to their sects. As for Xiang Wan, she was just an afterthought; it didn't matter whether she spoke or not.
A short while later, a strong suction force came from the cave entrance in the Demon Abyss, causing Xiang Wan's robes to rustle.
"Oh no, they've lost all their spiritual power and their lives are probably in danger. Ziyan, you go first, I have to go back and save them."
"Save them? I'll go too!"
How could she possibly miss such a great opportunity to scam someone?
Before Feng Jiutian could refuse, Xiang Wan rode the wind and sped back the way she came.
Feng Jiutian arrived first, embracing Xiang Wan and instantly reaching the group. She took one person from each of them, pulling those who had been pulled down by the powerful suction away from the entrance of the Demon Abyss and placing them behind a protruding rock.
After everyone was settled, Xiang Wan and Feng Jiutian stood in front of them again, and the people looked away, feeling ashamed.
"Excuse my boldness, but are you truly Qing Jiu, a disciple of Immortal Kan Yun?"
Someone asked the question, and everyone else looked over.
Feng Jiutian nodded slightly, his gaze falling on Qiaoyin. The latter hesitated for a moment, then forced a smile and said, "It's Qingjiu. I met him once at Immortal Kanyun's disciple-acceptance ceremony. I was blind just now and didn't recognize him. I hope Junior Nephew Qingjiu won't mind."
She is an elder, and her cultivation is a notch above Feng Jiutian's, so it is not inappropriate to call her "junior nephew".
"So, you are like my master, both righteous people. Since we are fellow believers, you won't do anything to harm me like you did just now, will you?"
