Chapter 290 We Won't Let It Go
"But what if we can't find out?"
“Then let’s build one ourselves,” Mu Jianjian blinked. “Many times, no one cares about the truth; they only care about whether things suit their own tastes.”
She leaned closer to the other person, "But you have to do me a favor now."
"What?" Ye Xuanzhi suddenly had a bad feeling. He heard the girl pick up a metal bead. "This is a mess that your senior sister left me. You'll have to hand it over to Fairy Ni Chang later."
He stared at Hua Yunzhu with a ferocious expression, almost popping his eyes out. "I have absolutely no desire to deal with that madwoman."
"How did you two meet?" Mu Jianjian asked curiously.
“I met her in the mortal realm. Do you know about the colored glass stone that Bai Tuan ate back then?” Ye Xuanzhi recalled unpleasant memories. “That was the one she took to the auction house to get revenge on me.”
“Oh,” Mu Jianjian responded softly, “Actually, you two are quite destined for each other.”
"Mu Jianjian!" Ye Xuanzhi's anger flared when he saw the girl's teasing manner. "So what should we do now?"
"While you tell Murong Yunyan that you agree to go out with her, you also agree with Fairy Ni Chang that someone is coming to rescue you," she tossed the Flower Cloud Pearl in her hand, "Besides, having this will further demonstrate your determination to stay, and she will believe you."
——
You said you'd be back soon.
The moonlight enveloped the night sky, casting a white glow over everything in its path, until a dark figure slowly entered the room, and a detached voice came from within.
The sudden, silent voice startled Mu Jianjian. She immediately turned to look at Chunbai and whispered, "It's because I found the person I was looking for. He suffered a lot, but thankfully he's alright. I'm very happy."
"Someone I know... is there anything I can do for them?" Chunbai lowered his eyes, the moonlight falling on his eyelashes as if they were coated with a layer of silver frost.
"No need." Mu Jianjian watched the boy walk away towards the door and slowly fell into deep thought.
After telling Ye Xuan the general outline of her plan, she inquired about the Longevity Tower, including information about "weapon refiners".
"The Longevity Pavilion is located in Long Phoenix Valley, with the Fairy Maiden presiding over it. She lost her son at a young age, so she adopted many disciples. Among them, the one she favors the most is Gu Qiongyi. As for the weapon refiner you mentioned... I do seem to remember such a person, but I can't recall the name for the moment..."
——
Three days later.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the sky above the entire Rainbow Feather City was filled with red floral feathers, and golden light shone throughout the city. People were constantly scattering high-grade pills in the streets and alleys, and everyone's face was filled with joy. Many powerful figures rode into the city on their mounts, and naturally, there were also some unfamiliar figures mixed in among them.
"Murong, you said he agreed?" A man in white sat high in the teahouse, watching the bustling scene on the street, and spoke calmly.
"yes."
"Did he pass on the profound techniques to you?"
Murong Yunyan paused, her eyes darkening. "He said that after we rescued him, he would pass on half of the profound techniques to me."
In fact, in her memory, Ye Xuanzhi was not the type to agree, but it was obvious that he had no other choice but to place his hopes on them and sacrifice half of his profound technique.
"Heh." The man in white sighed softly and put down the cup in his hand.
——
Inside the bustling, brightly lit Jade Pavilion, countless crystal goblets were placed on banquet tables, and thousands of candles and lanterns illuminated every corner. In the shadows of a corner on the second floor, a young girl was digging into something.
"Someone's coming soon..." Chunbai looked down at the floor tiles where most of the spirit stones had been taken, then looked up at the girl who was working hard. "Jian, you've already dug so much... Is there any room left in the space?"
"We're leaving after today. My hands are practically worn out from wiping these tiles all this time. Can't I at least collect some interest?" Mu Jianjian continued working, then turned around and said, "Quick, quick, come and lend a hand!"
As for whether or not it could be contained, Mu Jianjian scoffed.
You can mine as much system space as you want, and no one will complain about not having enough money!
Seeing the boy's obedient expression, she turned to look at the tallest building in the West Pavilion, "When the flower ball rises there, that's probably when they start fighting. We're not the main characters today..."
Under the bright sun, countless cultivators had already taken their seats under the West Pavilion. Each of them wore the finest brocade robes and watched as the red sedan chair, carried by eighteen people from outside the city gate, gradually approached. Their faces were full of congratulations.
As the red sedan chair approached, Venerable Yu Hui slowly ascended the high seat. Mu Jianjian, standing far away, couldn't see his face clearly, but she firmly remembered his terrifying aura and temperament. Listening to his indistinct words, when a wisp of true energy was injected into the colorful ball floating on the west pavilion, it bloomed into countless bouquets that scattered in the air. The red sedan chair stopped, and a woman dressed in red and covered with a veil slowly entered everyone's field of vision.
This was the first time Mu Jianjian had seen the Fairy of Rainbow Skirts after staying in the city for three days.
It is said that she is the most beloved daughter of Venerable Yu Hui. She has achieved the Nascent Soul stage before the age of 100, so Venerable Yu Hui specially gave her this city as a gift for her advancement. He grants his spoiled little daughter's every wish, and even kidnapped Ye Xuanzhi, the son of the Xuanmen Sect Master, to please her.
The scattered petals drifted to Mu Jianjian's side, and the moment she picked one up with her fingers, a sudden change occurred!
Countless swords formed from true energy shot straight into the arena, effortlessly passing over each seated cultivator and landing precisely at their feet!
There was an uproar!
The translucent "swords" instantly divided the space where each cultivator was located, instantly imprisoning their true energy. Venerable Yu Hui immediately reacted and was about to wave his hand to remove the swords, but the swords sank deeper and deeper and disappeared into the ground.
His face instantly turned pale, and before he could react further, a white figure grabbed him in an instant, and the two of them disappeared together in the next moment!
“It’s our turn.” Mu Jianjian glanced at the situation and recalled her plan with Ye Xuanzhi last night. She flipped over and slid down from the jade railing, with Chunbai following closely behind.
Taking advantage of the commotion among the many cultivators in the West Pavilion, the two suddenly disappeared without being noticed by anyone.
Mu Jianjian moved swiftly through the jade pavilions and arrived at the circular passageway she had just left. She stopped slowly, glanced at the unconscious maid in the corner, and looked up at the man in red standing in front of her and the woman with her back to her.
As soon as she approached, Murong Yunyan turned around abruptly, meeting her gaze and that of the young man behind her, her eyes filled with disbelief.
She then turned to Ye Xuanzhi and questioned him, "Are you lying to me?"
No wonder he said he wouldn't leave and would wait a while; it turns out he was waiting for these two people.
"Senior Sister Murong's brain isn't that slow-witted." Ye Xuanzhi sneered, and after raising his hand, the Bagua symbol appeared in front of him. At this moment, the Bagua symbols on every inch of the surrounding land began to change, enveloping everyone.
"One of you has been poisoned, and the other is only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm. How can you possibly defeat me?" After quickly calming down, Murong Yunyan focused her gaze on Mu Jianjian, naturally ignoring the pale-haired boy behind her.
Recalling her previous interactions with the girl, she immediately realized something was wrong, but it was too late. Because of her misjudgment, she had even dragged Tianqixuan into the mess!
"Which faction are you from?" Murong Yunyan's gaze fell on the small white flower that was faintly visible in the girl's hand.
"The forces that sent you on your way." Mu Jianjian tried hard to recall Gu Qiongyi's words and conciliatory manner earlier. She grinned and scattered the small white flowers that she had transformed from phantom butterflies at the other party's feet.
Murong Yunyan glanced deeply at the silvery-white flowers blooming on the ground. Just as she was about to take out the jade slip to inform the people of Tianqixuan to leave, she was opened by a burst of true energy, and a red mark was even left on the back of her hand.
Only then did she notice the boy in the cloak in the corner.
She initially thought the opponent's cultivation level was too low, but the speed of their attack was so fast that she couldn't even detect it. How could this be considered low-level?
"laugh--"
Murong Yunyan lowered her head, her burned right hand turning into a pool of black liquid. She stepped directly through the space sealed by Ye Xuanzhi and transformed back into her original form in another space!
Seeing that the three were about to leave, she immediately reached out and turned her fingertips into black smoke, enveloping them in it.
Want to leave without fighting? No way!
"Why can't I use my pupil-changing technique?" Mu Jianjian frowned. Now that she had met up with Ye Xuanzhi, she had achieved the first step of the plan. The problem was how to quickly escape from Ni Yu City while the two sides were fighting. That was the most crucial thing.
“She changed the atmosphere here. It looks like the same space on the outside, but the layout and atmosphere have changed, which will cause slight differences in your secret techniques, making it difficult for you to use your eye techniques,” Ye Xuanzhi paused, “Although the poison in my body has been neutralized, it will be difficult for me to recover my strength immediately.”
"Hey, someone's coming from the left, a Nascent Soul cultivator," Pure White, who was following behind the two, suddenly said.
As soon as he finished speaking, a red figure appeared in front of everyone, blocking their path.
The woman wearing a golden crown had heavy makeup on, and the red silk covering her head was lifted to reveal her stunningly beautiful face. Her eyes shone like stars and were captivating. She held a broken blade in her hand and stared expressionlessly at the man in red in front of her.
"Xuanzhi, you said you wouldn't leave me." Fairy Ni Chang parted her red lips slightly and spoke to Ye Xuanzhi, but her gaze turned to the two people beside her, finally landing on Murong Yunyan who was running towards them last.
Ye Xuanzhi was about to make a sarcastic remark when the girl next to him grabbed him and swallowed his words.
"Senior Sister Murong Yunyan! You take Young Master Ye away first," Mu Jianjian turned her head, her eyes pleading, "I'll hold off Junior Brother here for now!"
Ye Xuanzhi: ?
Murong Yunyan: ?
When she met the girl's eyes, she even felt for a moment that she hadn't said anything wrong. This made her dissipate sense of deception surge back into her heart. Just as she was about to deny it and retaliate, she realized that she didn't even know the name of the person in front of her!
"Murong Yunyan?" Fairy Ni Chang tapped her chin with the broken blade, seemingly deep in thought. "Aren't you Xuanzhi's senior sister? You betrayed your sect and sided with an outside force a few years ago. How come you're here again?"
She narrowed her eyes slightly, signaling the guards behind her to come over. At this moment, the four of them were surrounded from the front and back, instantly becoming like grasshoppers on a rope.
“Xuanzhi, I’ve planned every single detail of our wedding. I did think you might run away, but I never imagined you’d end up with this old woman,” Fairy Ni Chang said, looking puzzled. “Where am I inferior to her?”
As the woman murmured to herself, Mu Jianjian secretly transmitted her voice to Murong Yunyan, "If you loosen the surrounding array, I can send you out with me."
"Do you think I'd believe you?" The girl's tone was clear and pleasant, completely unlike her strangeness from the first time, which once again reminded Murong Yunyan of her foolishness and arrogance. This made Murong Yunyan not even care about being called an "old woman."
"You have no choice." Either we leave together, or we'll all be trapped here together.
“Xuanzhi, I really want to spend the rest of my life with you. If you insist on escaping, I will have no choice but to break your legs and tie you back.” Fairy Ni Chang placed the broken blade in her hand against her chest and tilted it to signal the guards around her to attack. “Just leave these people alive. Don’t worry about anything.”
abnormal!
Her yandere tendencies are on par with Linghu Zhuxu's.
"What a pity. You could have been my happy Daoist partner. The Immortal Palace is several times larger than the Profound Gate. In the future, the entire Rainbow Feather City would be yours." Fairy Rainbow Feather threw the broken blade out. Mu Jianjian only blinked before she saw Ye Xuanzhi standing in front of her, his hand covered in scarlet blood, clearly having caught the broken blade with his bare hands.
"This blessing is for you, do you want it or not!" Mu Jianjian said angrily, "Doing things he doesn't want in the name of love, you are not only selfish, but you also live in your own world forever?"
Why would you bleed for her?
The scarlet mark on Ye Xuanzhi's hand seemed to have struck a nerve with Fairy Ni Chang. She paid no heed to the girl's voice, raising an eyebrow at the man as if demanding an explanation.
“Disgusting,” Ye Xuanzhi said, even though he was dressed in a bright red wedding gown, he did not have the slightest sense of evil. Instead, he had the air of a Taoist, like a god who had been forcibly dragged down from the world by a mortal. He spoke each word with disgust on his face, “I should not have saved you on the ship in the first place.”
"You get angry just because I hurt her a little?" Fairy Ni Chang turned her gaze to Mu Jianjian. "You're a low-level Nascent Soul cultivator, and your judgment is even worse than I imagined."
She was already tired of hearing these words, but the girl who first stirred his emotions was the one who deserved his attention.
“I’ve made up my mind,” she said, brandishing the broken blade with both hands before suddenly pointing it at Mu Jianjian, “I’m going to kill you first.”
Then she would have her father find the faction they belonged to and slaughter everyone in it, leaving no one alive.
Amidst the chaotic battle on both sides of the corridor, as soon as Fairy Ni Chang finished speaking, her figure suddenly landed in front of the young lady!
