Upon seeing this, Gong Mingyue's eyes darkened slightly. He instantly appeared behind the old man and tore open a space. Before the old man could react, the two of them disappeared into the sky above the Princess's mansion.
"Ah Yue!"
"master!"
Ji Jiuying looked worriedly in the direction they disappeared. He used spatial magic again, knowing that he didn't want to attract attention and implicate her.
"Yingyue, don't you have tracking skills? Quickly check where they've all gone!" Ji Jiuying asked worriedly.
Upon hearing this, Yingyue closed her eyes and cast a tracking spell.
Half a quarter of an hour.
"In a valley outside Kyoto City to the west."
Isn't that where Little Phoenix is undergoing her tribulation?
"Yingyue, take good care of Feilong and Haitang. I'll go check on them first." Ji Jiuying said, releasing the little boy.
"Yes, Your Highness, please be careful!"
Ji Jiuying rode the phantom dragon straight into the sky. The people who had just been startled and run out of their houses near the Princess's mansion also saw this scene and knelt down to worship.
The air in the valley rippled.
Two dark figures appeared. The old man stared in shock at the young man before him. Spatial magic!
"Who exactly are you?" The old man already had the answer in his heart, but he wasn't sure yet!
"Third Elder of the Feng family, it's time to settle our scores!" Gong Mingyue said coldly.
Upon hearing this, the old man narrowed his sinister eyes. He actually knew him, and the fact that he claimed to be the real person further confirmed his suspicions.
But wasn't that person from the Nine Heavens Divine Palace supposed to have been in seclusion for a long time? How come he's appearing on a lower-level continent? Or is his seclusion just a pretense? If so, what is he doing on this continent?
Furthermore, their Four Directions City and the Nine Heavens Divine Palace have no connection whatsoever, so what is there to settle accounts about?
Before he could even ask the question, Gong Mingyue launched an attack filled with murderous intent.
The old man was not idle either. He quickly used his staff to block and met Gong Mingyue's spiritual skill. The beam of light and the staff, which were filled with murderous intent, made a loud bang.
The old man's pupils contracted as he stared intently at the young man in black before him. This young man wanted to kill him!
"If you kill me, aren't you afraid of triggering a war between the two cities?" the old man said sinisterly.
"The Nine Heavens Divine Palace has never been afraid to fight any city. Even without today's battle, the Feng family of the Four Directions City would have destroyed it!"
"My Four Directions City has never provoked the Nine Heavens Divine Palace, yet you dare to boast about destroying my Feng family!"
"If you have to blame someone, blame yourself for messing with the wrong person!" Gong Mingyue's sharp and cold gaze fell on the old man.
Did I offend someone I shouldn't have? Could it be that princess from earlier? Hehehe~ Interesting.
Although his Four Directions City was not as powerful as the Nine Heavens Divine Palace, it was not inferior either. Since this young man wanted to kill him, he had no choice but to strike first.
Black mist instantly emanated from the old man's body, and with a wave of his right hand, several talismans appeared above and in front of him.
Place your right index finger near your mouth and quickly chant silently, "Heaven and earth, darkness and yellow; ghosts and demons, come forth."
With a whoosh, the black mist transformed into ghostly figures and rushed towards Gong Mingyue.
Swift as lightning, powerful as a gale, swarms of ghostly figures seemed poised to devour their opponents.
Gong Mingyue's eyes reddened slightly. He sneered and gathered a ball of blue flame in his palm, sending countless blue flames burning towards the ghost.
Suddenly, heavy snow began to fall from the night sky, landing on the two of them without them noticing.
Gong Mingyue and the old man faced each other head-on. In an instant, the two figures darted through the valley, while the surrounding wind and snow continued to surge like an endless tide.
The two figures' moves became faster and more ruthless, each skill devastating.
The enormous roar shook the entire valley, causing the surrounding vegetation to tremble violently!
Gong Mingyue had already seen through the opponent's weakness and was about to eliminate him as soon as possible when he suddenly felt a pain in his chest, and the light and spiritual power on his body disappeared instantly.
When the old man snapped out of his terror and realized something was wrong, his face contorted with rage, and a sinister grin spread across his lips.
The old man drew closer, completely disregarding the poisoner. "Hahaha~ Didn't you boast about annihilating my Feng family? How come you've fallen into my hands now?"
The old man swung his staff towards Gong Mingyue, unleashing a black force.
Thud—
A beam of red light dispersed the black mist.
When Ji Jiuying arrived and saw this scene, she panicked and flew towards Gong Mingyue's side without regard for anything else.
"Ah Yue!" Ji Jiuying quickly helped Gong Mingyue up from the ground and fed him a pill. At this moment, his eyes had turned completely red. Ji Jiuying knew that the pill she had refined was no longer effective for him.
Instantly, Ji Jiuying's eyes radiated intense killing intent.
"Jiu'er, get out of here quickly!" Gong Mingyue said sternly, enduring the pain of the poison taking effect.
"A-Yue, I won't abandon you!" Ji Jiuying had seen him in his poisoned state, and she believed she could calm him down and buy some time for Si Yu!
Nine Heavens Mystic Fire! It's actually Nine Heavens Mystic Fire!
Heaven is on my side! I never expected that this trip to the lower continent would be so worthwhile. Not only did I encounter a dragon, but I also got the Nine Heavens Profound Fire! The old man's eyes gleamed as he greedily stared at Ji Jiuying.
"Little girl, offer up the Illusionary Dragon and the Nine Heavens Profound Fire, and I may spare your life!" The old man's gaze was like that of a venomous snake, cold and slippery, sending chills down one's spine!
Hehe~ Ji Jiuying chuckled softly.
"What are you laughing at?" The old man frowned slightly.
Ji Jiuying raised her head slightly, her gaze as cold as ice as she glanced at him indifferently, "I'm laughing, you old thing, you're ugly, but you have pretty dreams!"
"Since you're so ungrateful, then I won't be polite!" The old man was furious, his eyes revealing undisguised killing intent!
The old man smiled contemptuously and released the pressure of a Spirit Venerable.
Ji Jiuying paused slightly, feeling as if a thousand pounds were pressing down on her shoulders. She broke out in a cold sweat and clenched her teeth.
She has already revealed the dragon and the Nine Heavens Profound Fire, so she can no longer reveal the Immortal-Binding Rope and the space in front of this old man.
Just when she didn't know what to do, a brilliant idea struck her, and she remembered the method she used in her battle against Xuanjing in the arena.
Ji Jiuying silently recited the incantation: "With the heart as the tree, life and breath intertwine, and the vines of the tree emerge!"
Swish swish swish~
Thousands of vines stretched out from underground, like tentacles, attacking the old man.
Seeing this, the old man sneered, "Hmph~ A mere trick!"
The old man's staff condensed into clusters of black flames, and the vines seemed to be afraid of those eerie flames, constantly shrinking back.
Ji Jiuying's face darkened. She had originally planned to use the vines to block the old man's view before pulling Gong Mingyue into the space, but now it seemed she could only deal with it for now.
The old man glanced triumphantly at Ji Jiuying with his sinister eyes, then leaped into the air and unleashed a fierce burst of spiritual energy from his staff at Ji Jiuying.
