At that moment, time seemed to stand still throughout Longtoushan.
The powerful figures who were scrambling to approach the twin lotus flowers all stopped what they were doing and moved away from them, fearing that they might be caught in the crossfire. At this moment, no one dared to approach the twin lotus flowers.
At this moment, those who had been unconscious woke up one after another. Murong Jinxiu and Murong Ning were among them. Looking at the messy scene, they were completely bewildered. Where did that ferocious beast go? Their eyes, however, fell on the two black and white flowers.
"Royal brother?"
"Jinxiu, Ning'er, how are you?"
"It's alright, but where did that ferocious beast go?"
"Dead, she killed him!" Murong Yun looked at the red figure!
Dead? By that girl? Murong Jinxiu scrutinized the girl not far away!
"What is that?" Murong Jinxiu asked, noticing the strange atmosphere on the field.
“That is a supreme spiritual treasure, the Twin Lotus Blossoms,” Murong Yun said calmly.
It took Murong Jinxiu a while to process the news. When she came to her senses, she stared intently at the flower.
Murong Ning had no interest in listening to any of this. She was only concerned about whether her benefactor was still alive, but she couldn't see him anywhere. She couldn't help but feel a little panicked. Could her benefactor be dead?
After looking around, his gaze finally settled on that red figure. Who was that? How could he look so much like his benefactor?
Seeing Murong Yun's serious expression, Murong Ning had no choice but to suppress the question she wanted to ask, but her gaze kept being drawn to that red figure...
The mountain fog grew thicker and thicker, and the time it takes for an incense stick to burn quickly passed. None of the eager people dared to step forward, but some were bold enough to try to get close to the twin lotus blossoms. Just when they thought they could pluck the twin lotus blossoms, they, like those in front of them, turned into starlight and disappeared into the air.
Half an hour had passed, and still no one dared to step forward.
Are we just going to watch this peerless treasure disappear? Those people looked at the blooming twin lotus flowers with resentment. They didn't know how many people had died for this trip to the East Sea.
Hehehe!
Just then, Ji Jiuying, who had been standing still, chuckled and slowly walked forward.
What is she trying to do?
"Does she really think she can pluck that twin lotus flower?"
"Truly young and impetuous, they don't know what's good for them."
"Xiao Jiu, don't go over there!" Wen Chuyu stepped forward to stop her.
"Yes, Xiao Jiu, you know how worried your uncle was about you just now. No matter what, I won't let you take any risks."
Feng Che stepped forward to offer his advice.
"Second Uncle, Chu Yu, don't worry, I don't do things I'm not sure I can do!" Ji Jiuying said confidently.
Although she said that, Feng Che was still worried. The scene of those extraordinary experts disappearing kept replaying in his mind, and he didn't want her to lose her life because of it.
But he didn't know that Ji Jiuying had a reason for having to pick the flower.
"Trust me!" Ji Jiuying said, passing through the mist and arriving in front of the twin lotus flowers.
All eyes were on her; some were skeptical, some disdainful, some expectant...
"Hmph, he's practically courting death!"
"I don't think so..."
"·····"
As Ji Jiuying gazed at the twin lotus blossoms so close to her, the light in her eyes became dazzling, as if it were about to burst into flames in the darkness!
As Ji Jiuying approached, the twin lotus blossoms emitted an alluring fragrance.
Ji Jiuying ignored the faint fragrance and instead slowly took out a glove from her spatial storage, put it on, and then took out a small shovel and a box.
Ji Jiuying slowly approached the twin lotus blossoms. Everyone held their breath, watching her every move with concern. As she got closer and closer to the flower, everyone's hearts tightened.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Ji Jiuying approached the flower, squatted down, and skillfully and deftly uprooted the entire twin lotus, quickly placing it into a pre-prepared box and putting it in her spatial storage.
All of this went unnoticed, without disturbing a single flower or blade of grass. Before anyone could react, the twin lotus blossoms vanished from Ji Jiuying's hand.
Ji Jiuying easily plucked the twin lotus flowers; it all felt unreal!
Just then, experts from both the shadows and the open, along with various forces, surrounded Ji Jiuying.
Feng Luo glanced at the menacing crowd and sneered, "A bunch of fools!"
Ji Jiuying's eyes flickered between light and shadow.
"Little Jiu, your second uncle is here, no one can touch you!" Feng Che raised the large knife in his hand, his eyes fierce as he looked at the crowd around him.
"Dare to surround and kill Ji Jiuying? You're going against my Star Academy!" Yu Bugui led a group of Star Academy disciples forward.
The crowd exchanged bewildered glances. Going against Star Academy was an unwise choice, but how many could resist the temptation of profit?
"My Western Jin Kingdom is not afraid of the Star Academy."
Murong Yun glanced at the ancestor and Feng Luo not far away, then stepped forward and said.
However, this was destined to be a miscalculation for him, as Feng Luo had no intention of helping him at all, which made Murong Yun very embarrassed.
"My Dark Pavilion's guest elders are not to be bullied by just anyone!" Ye Qingchen picked up the mask in his hand and put it on.
Everyone was stunned. They originally thought he was just a subordinate of the Dark Pavilion Master, but they didn't expect him to be the Dark Pavilion Master. No wonder he protected Ji Jiuying so much at the entrance of Star Academy. Even Ji Jiuying was surprised by this. She didn't expect Qing Chen to be so well hidden.
Lian Qingcheng's eyes flickered slightly; he had even exposed his identity for her sake.
"Our Princess of Cangyue Kingdom will be protected by our Cangyue Kingdom. If the Western Jin Dynasty wants to wage war, Cangyue will accompany them to the very end." Jun Lintian led his entourage forward.
Jun Linyu, hiding in the shadows, watched Jun Lintian and his entourage with resentment. They were all old fogies from the forbidden area, and these should have originally belonged to him!
Everyone lowered their eyes, their gazes gleaming. Although so many people were protecting her, they were all injured from fighting the World-Destroying Demon Wolf. If they joined forces, they might not be able to defeat her!
"Ah! Duan Tianliang, what are you doing?"
Wen Longxiu was ambushed from behind by Duan Tianliang and thrown aside. In the blink of an eye, the light and agile object in her hand fell into Duan Tianliang's grasp.
"Ji Jiuying, I advise you to take out the Twin Lotuses to save Senior Sister Piaopiao, or I will kill her." Duan Tianliang's voice rang out from behind. He held a dagger to Qingling's neck, as if she would be decapitated in the next second. The unconscious Qingling was completely unaware and let him drag her along.
All eyes were drawn to her. Ji Jiuying's eyes narrowed slightly, a flash of killing intent crossing her face. "You know, the last person who threatened me is dead. Do you want to be the next one?"
"Shut up! If it weren't for you, Piaopiao wouldn't have died!" Duan Tianliang was agitated. A bright red stain appeared on Qingling's neck. Ji Jiuying's eyes remained calm, but her hand was secretly gathering spiritual energy.
