Wen Chuyu and Shen Miaoqing launched an attack on another man!
The man in the lead turned around upon hearing the noise and instantly flew into a rage, yelling, "How dare you play me for a fool!"
Just as he finished speaking and was about to step forward to take back the broadsword, his ankle was wrapped in a whip, which dragged the leading man several meters before slamming him hard against the stone wall!
With a sudden opening of her palm, the broadsword on the ground landed steadily in Ji Jiuying's hand!
A gentle breeze ruffled her hair, and no one noticed the murderous intent that flashed in her eyes as she swung her broadsword, aiming straight for the man's dantian!
The man's eyes widened in horror, "You want to destroy my dantian!"
Ji Jiuying's lips curled into a wicked smile. She loosened her grip, and the broadsword stabbed straight at the man with lightning speed! The man screamed and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Big brother!"
Seeing this, another man stared in astonishment as his elder brother was defeated and had his dantian destroyed by a fourteen-year-old girl! He himself had been careless and captured alive by several teenagers.
"You bitch! I'll haunt you even as a ghost... you!"
The leader's vicious voice rang out, his eyes seeming to want to tear Ji Jiuying to shreds!
A flash of bloodlust appeared in Ji Jiuying's eyes, a cold glint spreading across them. The corners of her mouth turned up slightly, looking so harmless. "Then... you can just die!"
The blood lotus between her brows became even more alluring, suddenly appearing. A red light flashed and countless blood lotuses burst forth, entangling the leading man. Before he could even cry out, his flesh and blood vanished instantly, turning into bare white bones. Under the horrified gazes of the crowd, the blood lotus let out a satisfied burp, then turned into red light and flashed into Ji Jiuying's brow!
The people present were all shocked and stood there dumbfounded.
Another man in black opened his mouth wide, looking at Ji Jiuying with utter terror!
What kind of monster did they provoke?!
The wind howled, her clothes fluttered, and a mocking smile played on her lips. Her gaze was cold and arrogant, as if she had just killed a mere insignificant insect. Her expression remained calm throughout, without even a furrow of her brow.
Ji Jiuying turned her gaze to the man beside her and slowly walked forward. Every step she took seemed to strike the man's heart like a hammer blow.
"Wait...wait a minute, you can't kill him!"
Liu Piaopiao snapped out of her daze, took a few steps forward, and met those dark, icy eyes. A chill ran down her spine.
“Junior sister, these two people are not from our Starry Sky Academy, yet they have appeared in the Boundless Mountains. There might be some danger involved. We should hand them over to the academy's elders for handling!”
Ji Jiuying glanced at her. He knew so much and almost hurt Xiaoting. If she didn't nip it in the bud now, there would be endless trouble in the future!
She slowly walked towards the man, her gaze cold and her voice devoid of any emotion, "Senior sister, you only saw him invade the Star Academy's mountains, but you didn't see him trying to kill Xiaoting?"
Before she could reply, darkness appeared out of nowhere, sliced through the man's throat, and vanished instantly.
A spurt of blood gushed out, a shocking sight, splattering all over her, and a few drops of bright red blood appeared on her cheeks. Killing without a sound while talking and laughing. Liu Piaopiao stared wide-eyed at Ji Jiuying's beautiful profile, feeling a chill run down her spine.
Ji Jiuying gazed calmly at the corpse with its eyes wide open in death, then conjured a ball of fire in her hand, instantly turning the man to ashes!
"Xiaoting, look, I've avenged you!" Ji Jiuying said with a smile.
However, such a smile was met with heartache in Wen Longting's eyes. She stepped forward and hugged Ji Jiuying. She admitted that the strange blood lotus had indeed frightened her. She also understood that her ruthless actions were mostly because of her. No matter what, she was still Ji Jiuying, and she was still Wen Longting. That was enough!
"Since everyone is alright, let's head back first!" Wen Chuyu glanced at Liu Piaopiao, his eyes filled with unreadable emotions. Even if Xiao Jiu didn't kill that man, just because he had murderous intent towards Xiao Ting, he wouldn't let him leave the Boundless Mountains alive.
Liu Piaopiao glanced at Wen Chuyu and Ji Jiuying, and said seriously, "I will report this matter to the elder truthfully."
Shen Miaoqing rolled her eyes, pouted, and mimicked Liu Piaopiao's tone, saying, "Ah, I will report this matter to the elder truthfully!"
"You!" Liu Piaopiao was instantly enraged and decided to ignore Shen Miaoqing. Hmph~ So what if she has a father who is the dean? What's so great about that!
Shen Miaoqing looked at her departing figure with disdain, then turned to Ji Jiuying, "Xiao Jiu, don't be afraid, that man deserves to die!"
Ji Jiuying didn't care what she said; even if the old man tried to stop her, she would still kill him without hesitation.
"Xiao Jiu, you're such a pleasant surprise!" Wen Chuyu said with a smile in her icy blue eyes.
"I killed them so cruelly, don't you think I'm vicious?"
The others shook their heads. A ruthless glint flashed in Wen Chuyu's eyes. "He had murderous intent towards Xiaoting. For that alone, I won't let him leave alive!"
Ji Jiuying smiled, her eyes flashing slightly, "What a coincidence!"
The group exchanged smiles.
After saying goodbye to them, the three continued their journey into the depths of the Boundless Mountains. Originally, Chu Yu wanted to tell them to go back first, since the beast tide and the students' hunting had been greatly affected. However, Wen Longting and Qingling both refused. After such a battle, they clearly felt the importance of strength. Wen Chu Yu was also pleased to see that her usually lazy sister had changed, so she let them have their way.
Along the way, the two of them would hunt down any low-level spirit beasts they encountered, while Ji Jiuying would take care of any higher-level spirit beasts. If they couldn't handle them, they would simply run away!
While they were fighting in the Boundless Mountains, the Kingdom of Cangyue underwent a dramatic change. Consort Liang was found dead in the dungeon, and the only person who had been there that night was Empress Ji Yuerou. As a result, Grand Tutor Liang summoned officials to collectively impeach the Empress.
"You, Right Chancellor, are so protective of the Empress. Could it be that you were involved in this as well?" Ji Chenyuan said coldly.
Behind Ji Chenyuan, Grand Tutor Liang's eyes flickered between light and shadow, their gloomy expression terrifying!
Although Ji Chenyuan and Grand Tutor Liang have always been at odds, Yan'er is now the Third Prince's concubine, and the Third Prince's biggest backer is the Liang family. Liang Bingyan has also married the Third Prince, so he and the two families are now in the same boat!
If the Liang family collapses, it will not benefit the Ji family or Yan'er in the slightest!
Duke Ji glanced at Ji Chenyuan and sneered, "Who doesn't know that the Right Chancellor was like a brother to the late Emperor and later assisted the current Emperor in ascending the throne? He has always been devoted to the Emperor. Ji Chenyuan, you should think before you speak, or people will think you have ulterior motives!"
Although the Duke of Ji knew that Grand Tutor Liang was the instigator, now that Consort Liang had taken all the blame and died, there was still a lack of evidence to bring her to justice.
Now he's turned on us, and it's only a matter of time before things fall apart.
