"Shouldn't you let him go now?"
The Second Elder looked at Ji Jiuying and said sternly.
Ji Jiuying glanced at the old man, then nodded to Hei Xiangling. Hei Xiangling understood and returned to Ji Jiuying's side in the blink of an eye.
Just as the group was about to turn around and enter the academy, a powerful spiritual force attacked them from behind, or more precisely, it attacked Ji Jiuying.
Ji Jiuying felt a chill in her heart and met the old man's spiritual technique head-on with her palm.
Bang! A powerful surge of spiritual energy rippled outwards.
The girl before me was dressed in flowing red, exuding an aura of coldness. Her clear eyes held only endless coldness, making her both alluring and ruthless, yet also cold and decisive.
The Second Elder frowned, a chill running through his body, making him feel incredibly frightened. He was actually frightened by the gaze of a little girl.
Feng Luo and Feng Yan did not expect the Second Elder to make a sudden move.
"You wicked girl, let this old man have a go at you."
The Second Elder steadied himself and spoke sternly. The moment he spoke, twenty Spirit Venerables surrounded them again.
"You're trying to gang up on us?"
Ji Jiuying sneered.
"I don't want to hurt you, I just want to take you home," the Second Elder said solemnly.
Ji Jiuying chuckled twice. "Heh, take her home? Is that her home? How could you make the idea of imprisoning her sound so refined and unconventional?"
With a flick of her sleeve, Feng Yi and Feng Er appeared behind her.
The Second Elder, Feng Luo, and Feng Yan stared wide-eyed. That was her! The Third Elder's secret guards—how could they be at her beck and call?
The Third Elder's death was indeed related to her.
The students of Star Academy were stunned once again. Were those Senior Sister's bodyguards? They were actually two Spirit Venerables!
Those who had offended Ji Jiuying trembled in the crowd, silently praying that their senior sister would not hold a grudge against them.
"You killed the Third Elder!"
The Second Elder's eyes widened in disbelief. They had all witnessed the Third Elder's strength; how could a mere fourteen-year-old girl possibly kill him? She must have conspired with the people of the Nine Heavens Divine Palace to murder the Third Elder.
I never imagined that this wretched girl would be so ruthless at such a young age.
"So what if he wants to kill me? I can't just stand there and let him slaughter me, can I?"
The Second Elder and Feng Luo exchanged a glance. The Third Elder wanted to kill her.
Feng Luo narrowed his eyes. His previous guess was indeed correct. The Third Elder had really tried to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice instead.
The Second Elder, however, clearly did not believe her words. The Third Elder had been ordered by the Patriarch to capture the wicked girl and bring her back to the Feng family; how could he possibly kill her?
"How could the Third Elder possibly kill you!"
"Heh, whether he wants to kill me or not, I have the ability to judge for myself. As for whether you believe it or not, that's your business."
Ji Jiuying was too lazy to argue with him. Since he insisted on meeting her, she would accept the challenge.
"You're arrogant!"
As the Second Elder spoke, his spiritual energy surged, and the powerful spiritual energy caused everyone's faces to turn pale.
Qingling frowned slightly, looking worriedly at Ji Jiuying's back. As if sensing her mood, Xiaohuang'er stepped forward and took Qingling's hand.
"Sister Qingling, don't worry, Mother is waiting for an opportunity."
Even so, she couldn't help but worry. Qingling lowered her head and patted Xiaohuang'er's head. "Okay."
Ji Jiuying gripped the Illusion Demon Sword tightly, her fighting spirit surging.
"Third Brother, how did Lan'er's Illusion Demon Sword end up in that girl's hands?"
Feng Yan asked in confusion.
Feng Luo remained silent for a moment before speaking, "I suppose it was left to her by Lan'er."
Feng Yan nodded and stopped talking, focusing on watching the two fighting in the air.
To his surprise, this girl was able to withstand so many moves from the Second Elder. No wonder Feng Luo had said that she was quite strong and had many trump cards.
The Second Elder unleashed a powerful burst of spiritual energy from his cane, aimed directly at Ji Jiuying. Although he didn't intend to kill her, he showed no mercy.
Ji Jiuying wielded the Illusion Demon Sword, and with a nimble turn, she dodged his attack. The mountain behind her was struck by spiritual energy, instantly producing a loud bang.
Immediately afterward, Ji Jiuying launched a fierce counterattack. Her sword flashed and her blade clashed with thunderous fury as she slashed at the Second Elder. The Second Elder's eyes widened, and he dodged quickly. Another earth-shattering roar followed.
"You little girl, you do have some skill. I'm only one level higher than you, yet you managed to withstand so many of my moves without even breaking a sweat."
The Second Elder admired Ji Jiuying to some extent. If it weren't for the Feng family's ancestral precepts, she would definitely be no worse than the Feng family's sons, and perhaps even better.
Everyone present was stunned by the old man's words. Only one rank lower than the Spirit Venerable Elder, meaning the Senior Sister's current strength was that of a Spirit Saint…
A collective gasp filled the air. A fourteen-year-old Spirit Saint! What kind of heaven-defying existence was this?
Wen Chuyu lowered his eyes; she had now reached a level he could only dream of...
Leng Yuelan, standing in the crowd, was both afraid and jealous. She had spoken harshly to Ji Jiuying in the past and was afraid that she would come back to take revenge. At the same time, she was jealous of how talented Ji Jiuying was at such a young age. Leng Yuelan had cultivated for most of her life and had only reached the ninth star of the Spirit King realm. This was worse than death for her!
"Thank you for the compliment, but since you said you'd like to test your skills against me, then go all out and finish this quickly. My time is very precious~" Ji Jiuying's eyes flickered slightly, a little surprised that he could actually see through her strength.
"Did you deliberately provoke that old man, Miss?"
"That brat is waiting for an opportunity. If I'm not mistaken, she's probably hit a bottleneck and just needs a stepping stone to unleash her potential."
Hei Xiangling said with great interest that she hadn't known this girl for long, but she had surprised her many times. Although she was nothing compared to the gods, she was a heaven-defying existence in the mortal world.
As expected, those chosen by a demon are never bad.
Upon hearing her words, the Second Elder's initial goodwill and regret vanished instantly. He was determined to teach this arrogant girl a lesson today.
The Second Elder increased the force in his hands, his old face contorted with rage, and a battle was about to erupt.
As the Second Elder pressed her attack relentlessly, Ji Jiuying quickly found herself at a disadvantage. However, the Second Elder was not willing to give up and continued to pursue her relentlessly, as if he wanted to capture her.
Others may not know, but Feng Luo and Feng Yan can see what the Second Elder is thinking.
Everyone's hearts were in their throats, except for Gong Mingyue in the shadows and Hei Xiangling beside him, who remained the most composed.
Ji Jiuying's face remained expressionless as she earnestly dealt with his every move, coldly watching the Second Elder's relentless attacks. The cane seemed to grow larger in her eyes, accompanied by gusts of wind and rolling thunder. The Second Elder revealed a meaningful look in his eyes.
Suddenly.
His smile froze instantly.
Ji Jiuying absorbed his powerful spiritual energy. Her hands trembled incessantly, a trickle of blood welled up from the corner of her mouth, her brows furrowed, and her body endured immense pain.
