Chapter 93: Yun Ruisi
The process of obtaining the Qingbao Jingmu Branch was unexpectedly smooth. Ji Weihang was also a little surprised.
On the way back to Feiyan Tower, she was thinking.
——Why did Jiang Yan look for her?
——In the game, did Jiang Qian recognize that "Jiang Zhan" was her?
...It's possible.
She never doubted the intelligence of the demon world.
Even if something happens in the human world, the demon clan will get the news earlier than most sects.
Many years ago, when she saw how they could get close to nature, use nature, and listen to nature with ease, now, even if she was told that the demon tribe could hear all the sounds of the entire continent, she would not be surprised at all.
As for the reason why Jiang Qian looked for her, it was undoubtedly as Ming Tianbao and the others said, that she wanted her to take her away from the demon world.
Jiang Qian is the only son of the Demon Emperor Jiang Po.
Since Jiang Po's ascension to the throne was accompanied by the deaths of dozens of sisters and a bloody turmoil, she decided to have fewer but better off offspring.
In terms of kinship, she was united with the lineage of the Dragon Clan's chieftain. With the help of the Blessed Sacred Tree, she obtained a perfect embryo without any defects [Note 1], which she implanted into her body and gave birth to Jiang Yan.
From the moment she was born, Jiang Yan was undoubtedly the heir to the throne and the first princess, without having to compete with her sisters.
Jiang Qian lived up to her mother's expectations and love. Looking at the entire demon world, her talent was unmatched. Not only did she inherit the bloodline of the Fire Phoenix and Fire Dragon, she also displayed the Bai Ze bloodline inherited from previous generations.
In addition, she has great appeal and leadership among the arrogant and undisciplined young generation of the demon clan.
He is truly an outstanding heir to the throne.
However, although her strength, bloodline and support undoubtedly confirmed her bright future, her unexpected rebellion caught all the monsters off guard.
Different from ordinary second-generation demons, she does not desire gold, silver, treasures, power and beauty, nor does she crave bloody killings or playing with the weak. She yearns for freedom and unrestrainedness.
——He neither wants to be high and mighty and restrain the monsters, nor does he want to be bound by the constraints and interests of various tribes.
She was determined to get rid of her position as Himeko and head for a freer and more spacious world.
Fifty-one years ago, at the Linyuan Alliance, the young Jiang Qian officially appeared in the Three Realms. On the way back to the Demon Realm, he tried to escape, but was captured by Jiang Po himself.
After that, Jiang Po strictly forbade her to enter or leave the demon world.
Along with the news of her occasional disturbances came the news of her continuous promotion.
Now, she is already a demon general, and if she is promoted again, she will be the demon king.
Before the Demon Emperor died, no Demon King could be promoted to Demon Emperor. The Demon King was already the top fighting force of the demon race.
Ji Weihang returned to Feiyan Tower with thoughts running through his mind.
If she helps Jiang Qian leave the demon world, she will become the enemy of the Demon Emperor.
Being at odds with the Demon Emperor would only affect her progress. She had no reason to confront the Demon Emperor at the moment.
However, letting Jiang Qian owe him a favor cannot be considered a very unprofitable deal.
If Jiang Yan wanted her help, she would definitely exchange it for benefits. Her conditions sound good.
Returning to the previous Tianzihao, Weihang found the hidden communication equipment in the room with familiarity.
This is a thoughtful design of Feiyan Building for the convenience of the top guests.
She pressed the secret compartment on the bookshelf against the wall, and the bookshelf folded to the sides. The isolation barrier unfolded and wrapped her inside, creating a small space of about three cubic meters.
The wooden boards on the wall were turned outward, leaving a one-foot-long groove.
As the environment inside the barrier turned darker, a faint white image appeared above the groove.
Wei Hang inserted her communication card into the groove, and a line of numbers immediately appeared on the screen. She entered the contact number of Jiang Yan that Ming Tianbao mentioned, and waited for the call to be connected.
After a moment, her call was answered and a clear color image appeared on the wall in front of her.
Before the communication, Weihang did not conceal his appearance.
Jiang Yan, who was standing opposite her, recognized her identity at a glance, and a faint smile appeared on her face, "Bao'er works quickly."
Ji Weihang said nothing and looked at Jiang Yan.
The prince of the demon clan was nestling on a tree branch with a special texture, which must be the Melting Candle Wutong, the favorite of the Phoenix.
The golden light flickering between the leaves fell on her face. She looked relaxed and at ease, completely different from the aggressive look she had when they first met.
Jiang Qian moved her body, from slumped to sitting, and sat up against the tree trunk. She turned the communication token to a place where the light was against her, so that her face could receive sufficient illumination and Wei Hang could see several little phoenixes flying and playing in the blue sky.
"You must be Ji Weihang, I have heard of your great name for a long time."
Ji Weihang hummed.
They all disliked unnecessary words, so Jiang Yan got straight to the point: "Let's make a deal? You help me leave the demon world, and I'll do something for you."
There were quite a lot of people looking for Wei Hang to do business with recently. This conversation made her feel very familiar.
She said, "I don't have anything for you to do." This was like throwing the question back, meaning that she wanted Jiang Yan to show her sincerity.
With the Qingbao Jingmu Branch in hand, the demon tribe really didn't have anything that she would rather offend the demon emperor for. She really wanted to know what conditions Jiang Yan would propose.
Jiang Yan had obviously thought about this question a long time ago, and said without hesitation: "How about a Pure Fruit? This should be very important to the cultivator next to you, right?"
“That” monk refers to… Fu Xuan? This means that he knows that she is “Jiang Zhan”.
Ji Weihang hesitated for two seconds.
Like the Qingbao Jingmu Branch, the Qingjing Fruit also comes from the demon clan's sacred tree, the Qingjing Wood. Whether eaten directly or used as medicine, it can cleanse the spiritual veins and greatly upgrade talents.
The Pure Tree is a sacred tree of the demon race, and its fruit is rarely circulated. Occasionally, a few of them are circulated in the human world, but they are all worthless.
Nice condition, but not enough.
Ji Weihang said: "Add a Daoxu fruit and a favor from you."
Jiang Yan agreed without hesitation, "Deal."
Daoxu Fruit is one of the rarest fruits in Jijiang Continent. It contains the rules of the Dao and can increase the chance of ascending. It is the fruit of the demon clan's sacred tree Ruomu. It blooms once every thousand years and bears fruit once every ten thousand years. It is very precious.
The Pure Fruit, the Daoxu Fruit, and a favor from Jiang Yan, it can be said that Ji Weihang is a bit like taking advantage of the situation.
But being able to leave the demon world is the best condition for Jiang Qian, she doesn't care about anything else.
The deal was reached, but... Ji Weihang said, "You need to wait for a while, I have something to do."
Going to the demon tribe to take the emperor's son away will definitely not be smooth. If you are not careful, you might waste the entire twelve hours there.
She must first go to the Xuefeng Sect to get the video and go back to the scene fifty years ago.
Jiang Yan was not willing to wait: "For the safety of the blessing banquet, my mother went out to inspect the territory. In another hour, she will be back, and the tribes participating in the blessing banquet will also arrive. Do you want to take me away in front of everyone?"
Ji Weihang only said: "I will come to find you in half an hour."
Jiang Yan couldn't force the other party to take action immediately. If they fell out, it wouldn't do her much good. She could only ask, "How did you get in?"
Jiang Qian is currently located in the central tribe in the heart of the demon world, the Phoenix Spiritual Land, Duguang Wilderness [Note 2].
The demons live close to nature and do not like to destroy the environment like humans do. Only a few tribes that have built cities have teleportation arrays.
How could Ji Weihang enter the demon world without an entry and exit permit? How could he penetrate deep into the demon world? How could he do that in half an hour?
If it wasn't Ji Weihang who said this, Jiang Qian would have hung up the phone.
"I have my own way." Ji Weihang did not directly tell her his way, but said, "Can you set off to Yaohe?"
"Yao He?" Jiang Yan and Yao He were close, but she didn't know why she was mentioned at this time. "Of course, I can, but I don't want to drag her into this. My mother's anger is terrifying."
Ji Weihang had no intention of dragging Yaohe into this either, and said, "You only need to go to Jiugao, you don't have to go under the banner of Yaohe."
"Did you set up a teleportation array in Jiugao?" Jiang Yan frowned.
Ji Weihang said, "No. Just go."
Jiang Yan was half-believing and half-doubting. How could he take her away without a teleportation array? But if Ji Weihang could set up a teleportation array inside the demon world, the border guards would be hit by a fireball from his mother.
She hesitated for two seconds and said, "Jiugao has special herbs for calming the nerves. I can pretend to go to Jiugao to find herbs for the blessing banquet."
Ji Weihang didn't care what excuse she gave, as long as she was in Jiugao by then. Then, Weihang told her his contact number, agreed to contact her in half an hour, and ended the call.
At this time, Fu Xuan led Yun Ruisi downstairs.
Ji Weihang glanced at the still bright sky. It gets dark late in Pingyao, and it is probably almost dusk in Xuefeng Sect. It is a good time to sneak in.
After talking with Yun Ruisi, Fu Xuan stayed behind for the time being and went to Xuefeng Sect alone. The formations and traps of Xuefeng Sect were not to be trifled with. It was too dangerous for Fu Xuan to follow them.
When Fu Xuan and Yun Ruisi walked in, Ji Weihang was sitting by the window drinking tea.
Wei Hang's spiritual consciousness had been following Fu Xuan. She knew that Yun Ruisi knew her identity. She had just tried to bribe Fu Xuan to say good things about her, but was rejected.
It was expected that Yun Ruisi knew her identity. After all, Jiang Xuan already knew her identity. Seeing that they were quite close in the game, it was not impossible that Jiang Xuan told Yun Ruisi.
However, she didn't know how Yun Ruisi had the courage to come to her alone. Did he have something to rely on? Or did he think that he would be let off because he was young and had not participated in the events of fifty years ago?
"Senior." Yun Ruisi knelt on one knee and bowed his head respectfully.
What a great gift.
Yun Ruisi is only 23 years old. She is not of the same generation as Ji Weihang, but they are not separated by generations. If it was when Ming Yunzong was still alive, she would probably call Weihang sister, but now...
One was sitting and the other was kneeling.
Ji Weihang hummed coldly and waited to see what she would say next.
Yun Ruisi did not raise his head, but bowed his head and said respectfully: "I came here this time to apologize to you on behalf of Yunlong Palace. As a subsidiary sect of Mingyan Sect, Yunlong Palace did not help Mingyan Sect overcome difficulties and stood aside and watched, which was an act of betrayal that was despised by others.
“But, fifty years ago, the Palace Master took sides at the suggestion of the Master.
"If you wish, we can show you memories or on-site video footage from that year to prove your innocence."
After listening to them expressionlessly, Ji Weihang did not express his opinion on what they said, but only grasped one key word: "Do you have a live video of the event fifty years ago?"
Yun Ruisi said: "Yes, after that, we took away all the video crystals placed in the library."
Ji Weihang put down his teacup and said in an ambiguous tone, "I thought he was in Xuefeng Sect."
These words seemed to be spoken casually, but also seemed to be a test of distrust.
Yun Ruisi said calmly, "The Xuefeng Sect did want to take it away, but the Palace Master said that they were only responsible for recording the video, and we are better at preserving it."
Ji Weihang let out a short laugh, and Yun Ruisi stared at the ground without moving. After a moment, she finally heard her say, "Bring me the video from fifty years ago, and I'll consider ignoring you."
As her head lowered further, Yun Ruisi's voice also lowered, but it was still clear and steady, "I'm afraid I can't get it. Palace Master, please go in person."
Ji Weihang sneered, stood up, took a few steps, and stood in front of Yun Ruisi.
Ruisi could see the golden patterns flowing on the tips of her shoes.
At such a close distance, a kick from an out-of-body stage cultivator was enough to cause serious injury.
Ruisi knew.
But she still kept her breathing steady.
The pair of shoes in front of her suddenly moved and passed around her.
"Then let's go. If you're not afraid, why should I be afraid?"
Only then did Ruisi stand up.
When she turned around, she saw the figure stopped at the door and asked her to go out and wait.
After going out obediently, Yun Ruisi exhaled slowly, and her tense spirit relaxed. She slid her fingertips across her waist, and the crane pattern turned from virtual to real, and then quietly disappeared into the air, delivering the message.
Inside the house, Ji Weihang restrained his indifference, returned to his original appearance, and told Fu Xuan about the next plan.
Since there is a video in Yunlong Palace, there is no need to go to Xuefeng Sect. She will trace the scene back and decide on the next course of action based on the information obtained.
If there is no result for the time being, then go to the demon world to retrieve Jiang Yan;
If you get important information, then talk about it.
Before she asked Fu Xuan if she could stay alone, she heard Fu Xuan take the initiative to say, "I'll stay in Pingyao. I have the rewards from the last game, and I want to consolidate my strength and strive to break through to the middle stage of Jindan."
"Okay." Ji Weihang patted her shoulder and handed her a token engraved with a flying swallow. "If you have any problems that you can't solve, go to Feiyan Tower for help."
Fu Xuan did not refuse and nodded.
The two parted ways. Ji Weihang opened the door, put on a mask to change his face, and coldly asked Yun Ruisi to lead the way.
No matter what Yunlong Palace said is true or false, no matter what you want to do, you will get some answers after this trip.
After they left, Fu Xuan sat down at the table behind the screen, took out the mirror from the drawer and placed it on the table.
She took off her disguise and removed her headband, letting her black hair cascade down, covering her shoulders and back.
Looking at herself in the mirror, she grabbed the black hair that was obviously missing with both hands, grasped it neatly, and then held it with her left hand, and then took out a pair of sharp scissors from her Kun Gan bag with her right hand.
With a click, the black hair broke instantly under the sharp blade.
She tied the cut black hair with a red string, folded it into a separate bag, and put it into a box.
I looked in the mirror and saw that my black hair was of varying lengths, a little frizzy and messy.
Suddenly, she couldn't help laughing.
"Although my body and hair are all from my mother, I don't think my mother will blame me."
Her voice gradually became lower with a smile.
"…right, grandma?"
