Dusk Returns to the Ruined Building

Chapter 1144 Uncle and Nephew Meet with Killing Intent

In the world of martial arts, things are beyond our control; in the world of mortals, love is often beyond our control.

Shen Yichen is not only a pitiful person, but also a tragic one!

A passionate wanderer, yet powerless to protect his beloved; the young master of the Ji family, awaited by the royal family, yet utterly ignorant of right and wrong, human nature, and the state of the world.

As a disciple of the legendary Star Gazing Mountain, the successor of Ji Xuanfeng, and the owner of the Void Dust Pearl and the Qiankun Jade Pendant, he fled, was defeated, and knelt down all the way!

Shen Yichen tragically discovered that he seemed to only know how to drink, and could only get drunk!

"None of you are allowed to follow me. I don't deserve love. I can't live up to your loyalty. I've failed Guanxing Mountain. I don't want to go back to the Ji family. I'm just a drunken wanderer in the martial world. I don't ask for anything. Is that alright?"

"No, young master, think it over carefully. Your woman needs you, and the Ji family needs you too... cough cough..."

Shen Yichen walked out of the courtyard, looking lost and dejected.

Mo Qu and Ji Xuanren naturally followed.

"Halt! Your young master doesn't need protection, he needs to grow!"

Ji Xuanren and Mo Qu, of course, wouldn't listen to Yi Xuan, and the two walked straight out of the courtyard.

"Alas, how did the Ji family end up raising such a group of foolishly loyal people?"

Yixuan closed his eyes!

It's true that Yi Xuan killed Mu Qingxue, and it's also true that he restrained the people of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect.

Shen Yichen had too few people around him. If the Ten Thousand Demons Sect made a move, Shen Yichen would really be in mortal danger. That's why Yixuan spread the news that the Ji family wanted to kill Mu Qingxue to Luowu Ancient City.

Yi Xuan's idea was that if Lou Yuan made a move, the Ten Thousand Demons Sect wouldn't be able to stop him, thus achieving both the purpose of restraining him and his goal of killing Mu Qingxue.

How could Ke Yixuan have imagined that Ji Qingyang was hiding in the ancient city of Luowu?

Ji Qingyang came to Luowu Ancient City to find Mu Qingxue.

Ji Qingyang accompanied Li Shuqin and their son Niu Niu away from Ming Ku Valley, thinking that Li Shuqin would take them to the Soul Dream Pavilion.

As a result, Li Shuqin led Ji Qingyang and Niu Niu on a detour through Yingzhou and then returned to Yanquan.

Although Ji Qingyang had doubts, he couldn't see anything amiss. He was on guard, but they were husband and wife after all, how could he possibly guard against them?

After getting drunk, there's still the dream of Wushan!

Ji Qingyang was ultimately deceived by Li Shuqin.

Li Shuqin led their son Niu Niu into the Wulang Academy. The Ji and Mu families were not allowed to enter the Wulang Academy, and this was the place Li Shuqin had carefully considered before choosing to settle down.

Ji Qingyang was not only furious, but also very disappointed. He had been lying low for decades, and his final fate was the same as Mu Niansheng's.

Ji Qingyang himself wanted to laugh; it was truly pathetic!

The reason why Ji Qingyang and Mu Niansheng fell in love with Li Shuqin and Li Shutong was for a purpose: to find out the location of the Soul Dream Pavilion.

The reason is that Soul Dream Pavilion knows the location of the divine weapons of the Ji family and the Mu family, and the Ji family's weapon is the Holy Dragon Golden Spear.

Ji Qingyang learned that the information about the Holy Dragon Golden Spear and the Soul Dream Pavilion came from the royal family of Yunxia Mountain. The price was that Wu Linling of the Ji family would help the royal family of Yunxia Mountain do three things.

Sadly, Ji Qingyang's decades of seclusion in the mountains ultimately came to nothing!

Fortunately, there is still a glimmer of hope!

If Ji Qingyang hadn't chosen to live in seclusion in the Valley of Darkness back then, Li Shuqin would probably have been captured by the Soul Dream Pavilion just like Li Shutong. In that case, the Ji family and the Mu family might never have found their divine artifacts again.

Ji Qingyang's only hope now is Mu Qingxue.

Mu Qingxue is Li Shutong's only daughter, and she wants to know where her mother, Li Shutong, is. At the same time, Li Shuqin will also believe in Mu Qingxue. Furthermore, the Ten Thousand Demons Sect will definitely support Mu Qingxue because the interests of the two families are aligned!

As for why Shen Surong betrayed Li Shutong, the reason is simple: she couldn't let the Ji family and the Mu family obtain the divine artifact.

The artifacts of the Ji and Mu families can not only deal with the Xuan Tian Eight Sects and the people of the Dark Realm, but also with the Ancient Miao Domain. Among them, the restraining power against the Ancient Miao Domain is the greatest.

Shen Surong simply spread the names of Li Shutong and Li Shuqin throughout the martial arts world; she did nothing else.

The second person Ji Qingyang wanted to see in Luowu Ancient City was Shen Yichen. He gave Mu Qingxue a favor, but he gave Shen Yichen a kill. However, this kill was not to take a life, but to activate the killing intent in Shen Yichen's heart.

The Holy Envoy's attempt to use his soul failed, so only Ji Qingyang could intervene.

The reason is simple: Ji Qingyang is Ji Qingyun's man. The two brothers, one resolves the troubles of the Ji family, and the other stirs up trouble in Yanquan.

This is why Ji Qingyun has never left the Ji family's imperial city in Zhongzhou; the martial world had already made arrangements for him!

Therefore, the true master of Ji Qingyun's power in Yanquan is Ji Qingyang, not Ji Xuanyan.

Yi Xuan had distracted the people from the Ten Thousand Demons Sect, but strangely, the people from the Eight Xuantian Sects did not make a move.

Neither Shen Yichen nor Yixuan would have imagined that the young monk was actually a member of the Xin Buddhism sect, one of the eight sects of Xuantian. Therefore, it can be said that someone from the eight sects of Xuantian had already made a move. As for why people from other sects had not appeared, that remains unknown!

Then there's the Xuantian Sect; it seems none of the members of the Xuantian Sect's Nine Palaces have appeared.

Shen Yichen and Yixuan were even more surprised to find that the leader of the Xuantian Sect had come in person and was observing the situation in Luowu with Ji Xuanyan.

That night, the ancient city of Luowu, shrouded in mist and rain, was truly a place where undercurrents surged.

Shen Yichen had no idea where he was.

Not far behind Shen Yichen, Mo Qu and Ji Xuanren walked slowly without saying a word; Mo Qu felt it was too much effort.

Shen Yichen wasn't thinking about anything. To be precise, he didn't know where to begin thinking; he had far too many things to consider.

In a sense, this night marked the beginning of Shen Yichen's journey to Yanquan.

The real struggle between the Ji family, Yanquan, the outer regions, and Youzhou has begun, and it all started with the assassination attempt on the chosen one, Shen Yichen.

This is the result Yi Xuan wanted to see, and it is also the first thing she planned after entering the martial arts world.

The news that Shen Yichen was the chosen one was spread to the Yanquan Jianghu by Yixuan.

In other words, Yi Xuan's first step into the martial arts world was taken by stepping on Shen Yi Chen's life-or-death situation.

Yi Xuan's only regret was that Shen Yichen's injuries weren't severe enough; they were still a bit short of being enough. However, this was sufficient, and the Ji family's God-Slaying Army could now enter Yanquan. Yi Xuan's first target was Luowu Ancient City!

As for whether to kill or not, Yi Xuan hadn't decided yet. He wanted to see the reactions of the Ji family and the Xuan Tian Sect.

"Shen Yichen, son of Shen Surong and Ji Qingyun, young master of the Ji family, chosen one, disciple of Guanxing Mountain, successor of Ji Xuanfeng, have you ever asked yourself, are you worthy of any of them?"

Shen Yichen stood frozen in place, staring at the dark figure at the end of the long street.

Ji Xuanren and Mo Qu were already standing on the left and right sides in front of Shen Yichen. Their first feeling was that this person was very dangerous!

"Why should I be worthy? Why can't I just be Shen Yichen? Why can't I be an ordinary person in the martial arts world? What gives you the right to ask me? What gives you the right to decide my fate? Is it interesting to use other people's lives as pawns? You fight for your world, and I'll live my life in the mortal realm, isn't that enough?"

"Of course not! The purpose of Shen Surong and Ji Qingyun giving birth to you was to stir up trouble throughout the world!"

The dark street has become bright.

A blade of light descended from the sky and slashed towards Shen Yichen.

"The Ji family's man and sword are one; you are Ji Qingyang!"

Mo Qu cried out in surprise. She and Ji Xuanren simultaneously activated their cultivation techniques to meet the terrifying blade light.

Mo Qu turned around and shouted:

"Young Master, run away!"

Ji Qingyang is the only person in the Ji family in five hundred years who has surpassed Ji Xuanfeng. Some say he has already surpassed Ji Xuanfeng. Interestingly, like Ji Xuanfeng, he also betrayed the Ji family.

Shen Yichen did not run away; he even thought about dying, perhaps dying here would end all his troubles.

Ji Qingyang defeated Mo Qu and Ji Xuanren with a single move. The two women collapsed not far behind Shen Yichen, clutching their chests, too exhausted to fight any longer.

Ji Qingyang also made a move against Shen Yichen, using only one finger, aiming at Shen Yichen's heart.

Shen Yichen's expression changed slightly, and he exclaimed in surprise:

"You, you've come to unlock the power of my Bloodline!"

"I am your sixth uncle, and I have come to see you, Chen'er!"

Ji Qingyang failed. Someone stopped him, also with the power of a single finger, but this time it was a slender, delicate finger.

Shen Yichen smiled slightly; his inexplicably strange master's wife had arrived.

Ji Qingyang stepped back; of course, he didn't recognize this veiled woman with flowing long hair and elegant fairy-like attire.

"The Ji family truly produces outstanding talents generation after generation, Chen'er, your future path is so long!"

Ji Qingyang then spoke:

"Which branch of the Ji family does the senior belong to?"

Shen Yichen's teacher's wife smiled slightly.

"Wouldn't you know if you try it?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Qingyang was slightly taken aback, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"Then I must offend you!"

After Ji Qingyang finished speaking, his true essence suddenly erupted, and the immense power shot straight into the sky. Soon, Ji Qingyang's figure disappeared, and he and his true essence transformed into a dark yellow sword shadow.

Ji Qingyang roared angrily:

"Man and sword unite!"

The longsword came slashing straight down.

"I have a sword that can slay the gods and destroy the heavens!"

Mo Qu and Ji Qingyang exclaimed in unison:

"Ji Xuanfeng!"
