"Lord, someone's coming." The masked man heard the noise and immediately became alert. "It's someone from the Demon Realm."
Feng Xu lowered his eyes and held the long whip in his hand.
What is coming will come...
At a command from the leader outside the temple, many soldiers and guards rushed into the gate of the ruined temple.
Feng Xu was the first to launch the attack. He didn't want to escape anymore. He was tired of hiding these days.
After all, he was the lord of the Demon Realm. All these soldiers combined could only tie with him. In addition, he had his subordinates by his side, so Feng Xu soon gained the upper hand.
"Lord Yejiang is so majestic."
As the voice reached his ears, Ghost Blade, dressed in black and holding a long sword, appeared in the courtyard of the dilapidated temple. "Everyone, retreat."
Feng Xu watched coldly as the people in the yard turned into black mist and disappeared, leaving only three people in the yard.
"General Ming, you are going too far!" The masked man pointed his knife at Ghost Blade and said sternly.
"Where is Cen Ji?" Feng Xu asked in a flat tone.
Ghost Blade didn't answer and walked towards the house with a closed door in front of him.
What he just told the Lord was the wrong direction. He didn't have much time left, so he had to help the Lord get rid of the disaster as soon as possible.
"I have no intention of kidnapping anyone. You can take her away, but you have to leave us alive." Feng Xu raised his hand to block Gui Ren's way.
Ghost Blade waved his hand and released spiritual power to push Feng Xu away, then kicked the door open.
When he saw the person tied to a chair in the house, he raised his knife and chopped him without saying a word.
Yan Ying couldn't hear what people outside were saying in the house. The system detected that everyone outside was from the Demon Realm, so she didn't dare to make any big moves.
She exchanged the system for detoxification pills, recovered her spiritual power, broke free from the restraints, and took off the blindfold.
Just as she was about to escape with the Thousand Mile Talisman, she saw the broken door of the house being kicked to the ground.
Then she saw a man in black coming towards her with a knife...
What the hell is going on? She doesn't have any enemies, right? Why would they kill her just by meeting her?
Yan Ying was unable to resist and could only quickly shake off the rope on her body and fall to the ground.
"Junior sister!" Wu Lin's voice rang out in the room.
For a moment, everything was silent. Yan Ying closed her eyes tightly. She did not hear the sound of the blade falling to the ground, nor did she feel any pain in her body.
Yan Ying opened her eyes in confusion, only to see a figure with broad shoulders and a narrow waist standing in front of her. The person had long black hair hanging behind him with curled ends.
This figure is quiet...
Ghost Blade looked in disbelief at Cen Ji who was standing in front of him. Just now, the Lord had used his hand to block the knife he was swinging towards Yan Ying, and now his hand was bleeding profusely.
Although he restrained his spiritual power in time, the blade was still so sharp that a light touch was enough to cut through bones.
Seeing Cen Ji standing in front of Yan Ying, Wu Lin immediately recalled the black gold fan that was aimed at the long sword in the black-clothed man's hand, and rushed into the house quickly.
"Get out." Cen Ji didn't make any sound, but just mouthed the words to Ghost Blade.
Ghost Blade frowned and disappeared into obscurity.
When Wu Lin walked out of the door, the house was already empty.
"Are you okay?" Cen Ji turned around and stretched out his clean hand towards Yan Ying, trying to pull her up from the ground.
Yan Ying did not grab Cen Ji's hand, but moved back with a vigilant look and stood up from the ground.
Didn’t Cen Ji want to kill her?
The man in black who just rushed into the house looked very familiar to her. It was clearly the one she had seen in the peach forest. He was from the Demon Realm.
Cen Ji had already been possessed by the devil, and he had long been secretly colluding with the people from the Demon Realm. Perhaps he spared her life because Second Senior Brother was here...
Yan Ying ran behind Wu Lin, lowered her eyes and grabbed Wu Lin's sleeve tightly.
"Junior sister, are you okay?" Wu Lin examined Yan Ying from head to toe with concern, and felt relieved only after making sure that she was not injured.
He felt something was wrong when the man in black appeared in the forest. He was standing in the front, but the man targeted Mu Siyue.
So he sprinkled a powder with a special smell on the man, and followed the scent of the man in black to this place.
When he entered, Cen Ji was already in the yard. The two of them arrived just a little bit later, but if Cen Ji had arrived a step later, Yan Ying would probably be in great danger now.
Cen Ji looked at Yan Ying hiding behind Wu Lin without saying a word. His right hand was bent behind his back, and there was a wound on his palm that was so deep that the bone could be seen. Blood stained his hand red and dripped onto the ground.
"Junior Brother Cen Ji, how are you?" Wu Lin saw a pool of blood behind Cen Ji. The knife he just used had really dealt a heavy blow.
"No problem." Cen Ji replied softly.
"I'll help you take a look..."
"No need, let's go first, it's not safe here." Cen Ji refused again.
Seeing Cen Ji's firm attitude, Wu Lin had no choice but to give up. He took Yan Ying out of the house and motioned Cen Ji to follow.
Yan Ying kept her eyes down and remained silent until the three of them returned to the inn.
She felt that she was going to die soon.
She should have stayed away now and perhaps she could have lived a few more days. Cen Ji was so eager to take her spiritual roots. He must have known that her spiritual roots were mutated, so he wanted to devour her spiritual power.
Can she still run?
[System: Host, is there any misunderstanding? ]
How could there be any misunderstanding? What Cen Ji said with his own mouth could not be false. She heard what he said. In order not to reveal his true nature, he would definitely kill her to silence her.
She really regretted not learning more magic spells, otherwise she would not be afraid of Cen Ji. She must follow her master and senior brothers closely and not give Cen Ji any chance to attack her.
"Ying'er, are you really okay? Are you hurt?" Ning Hai looked at Yan Ying worriedly.
Yan Ying's room was full of people. She was sitting on the bed looking miserable with her hair all over her body.
"I'm not injured. When the man in black rushed in to kill me, Second Senior Brother came in." As Yan Ying spoke, she caught a glimpse of Cen Ji standing behind the crowd.
He lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking about. Perhaps he was thinking about how to attack her next time without being discovered.
Yan Ying pursed her lips and pretended not to see Cen Ji.
"By the way, thanks to Junior Brother Cen Ji." Wu Lin turned and pulled Cen Ji in front of him. "Is Junior Brother's hand okay?"
Cen Ji shook his head slightly. His hands were wrapped with strips of cloth torn from his clothes. The strips of cloth were very dark in color and seemed to be soaked in blood.
Cen Ji's gaze fell on Yan Ying, looking at her quietly.
Wu Lin knew to care about him, but Yan Ying didn't even look at him.
He knew that she must have heard what was transmitted through the sound stone, so she misunderstood him. She must have been very disappointed in him when she heard those words.
She had once told him that everything about him was related to her, and she couldn't bear to see him get hurt or punished. But now he was standing in front of her, but she refused to look up at him, refused to listen to his explanation...
So, this is how she felt when he rejected her?
He knew he was innocent, but he couldn't defend himself.
