Dusk Returns to the Ruined Building

Chapter 1130 Coming for the Chosen One

A wind has risen over Luowu Ancient City, a wind that arose after the spring rain.

Yi Xuan's master was in the Maple Forest outside Luowu Ancient City, investigating the Maple Forest Formation. Her intention was to destroy it, which was also Yi Xuan's intention.

Yi Xuan's master discovered that she couldn't destroy it at all. This formation was not isolated; it was not only connected to the protective formation outside Luowu Ancient City, but also faintly connected to the mountains, rivers, and earth veins surrounding Luowu Ancient City.

Master Yixuan was not able to destroy it, nor was she able to fully investigate all the formations.

Ji Xuanyan arranged to meet Yi Xuan's master outside Luowu Ancient City, which fulfilled her wish.

Yi Xuan's master just happened to want to meet the legendary Lord of Luowu. Yi Xuan's master knew that the Lord of Luowu must also want to meet her, because her behavior in the Ten Thousand Maple Forest could not escape the Lord of Luowu's eyes, since the formations were interconnected!

Outside the ancient city of Luowu, Ji Xuanyan and the Shadow Emperor Ji Xuanhong were among those who called out to stop them.

Shadow Emperor Ji Xuanhong flew down in front of the woman in blue gauze and bowed to the Lord of Luowu!

"Junior Ji Xuanhong, on the orders of the Supreme Elder of the Ji family, offers birthday greetings to Senior!"

The Shadow Emperor directly revealed his identity and brought up the Supreme Elder of the Ji family. This was to remind the woman in blue gauze and to suppress the Lord of Luowu, since the Supreme Elder of the Ji Clan Ancestral Hall had always been the one who supported and protected the ancient city of Luowu.

The marriage alliance between the Ji family and Luowu Ancient City was also facilitated by the Supreme Elder.

Lord Luowu quietly watched the woman in blue gauze outside the ancient city, while Master Yixuan showed no fear and glared angrily.

Princess Xuan entered Luowu Ancient City, and someone actually attacked and tried to kill her. How could Yi Xuan's master let this go? She is not only Yi Xuan's master, but also Lan Yishu, responsible for secretly protecting Yi Xuan!

"Yan'er, who are these people from the Ji family? They don't even respect you and the Supreme Elder!"

Since the Lord of Luowu chose to withdraw, she naturally had to give face to the Supreme Elder of the Ji family!

"Senior, let's call it quits for today!"

Ji Xuanyan did not reveal Lan Yishu's identity, as few people in the Ji family knew it.

Although the Shadow Emperor intervened, he only recognized the woman in blue and did not know her identity as Lan Yishu.

The Shadow Emperor had no connection with the Ji family royal family, and he and the woman in blue were just friends from their youth. However, the Shadow Emperor knew that the woman in blue came from the royal family of Yunxia Mountain.

"I am only giving the Ji family's Supreme Elder this face today. This is Luowu Ancient City, not the Ji family's imperial city in the Central Continent. The three of you should behave yourselves!"

Lord Luowu flew into the ancient city, and the crowd surrounding the woman in blue also entered the ancient city.

Ji Xuanhong turned to look at the woman in blue gauze.

"Xuan Yi, it's been a long time. What brings you to Luowu Ancient City?"

"Without entering the martial world, I truly didn't know that the Supreme Elder of the Ji family possessed such power!"

Lan Yishu and Xuan Yi smiled and turned to leave.

"Xuan Yi, you...why don't you want to have a drink with me!"

"As a friend, let me remind you: be careful of the Lord of Luowu; he harbors ulterior motives!"

It's unclear whether Ji Xuanyi was referring to Ji Xuanhong or Ji Xuanyan.

Ji Xuanyan and Ji Xuanhong watched Ji Xuanyi disappear into the Maple Forest.

Ji Xuanhong looked up at Ji Xuanyan and said with a smile:

"If she's not going, then I'll treat you to a drink!"

"I don't like drinking alcohol, I like drinking tea!"

Ji Xuanhong was a little embarrassed!

"Ugh, why am I so unpopular with women? Oh well, I'll just go find somewhere to drown my sorrows in alcohol!"

Ji Xuanhong flew into the ancient city of Luowu alone.

"What are you doing here?"

"It's just a birthday greeting; I'm simply following orders and have no other intentions!"

Ji Xuanyan watched Ji Xuanhong disappear into the twilight of the long street and shook her head.

When Ji Xuanhong was young, he was a lively character in the Ji family's imperial city. Making a fool of himself was a common occurrence, but his cultivation never declined. Eventually, he entered the Ji family ancestral hall from the elders' hall and became the Shadow Emperor.

Ji Xuanhong is a man without any scheming and lives a very carefree life. Such a man should have many friends, but in the vortex of the Ji family, it is really difficult for Ji Xuanhong to have any friends.

Ji Xuanyan was drinking tea alone on the city wall. The Shadow Emperor's arrival was probably to express the Ji Clan's Supreme Elder's intentions to the various forces of the Ji Clan, which was of course to protect Luowu Ancient City!

Ji Xuanyi's attitude today was really strange. Ji Xuanyan felt that something was wrong. She pondered for a long time and decided to go after Ji Xuanyi to find out the truth.

Just as Ji Xuanyan was about to leave, she suddenly turned her head to look to her right.

A young monk slowly walked up the city wall of Luowu Ancient City!

Ji Xuanyan frowned deeply and spoke first:

"long time no see!"

"Amitabha Buddha, I have been to the Floating Dragon Cave Pavilion and seen the paintings of beauties on the Hundred Flowers List. Ji Yixuan, the most beautiful woman in the world, seems to be a little less beautiful than you!"

Ji Xuanyan turned and looked at the dark night.

"You're wrong, she has far more than me!"

"Amitabha Buddha, all I see are two words: heartless!"

"Hmph, that's because you're heartless!"

"Amitabha Buddha, it's not that I'm heartless, but that you were heartless back then. I only became a Buddha in this life because I understood your heart!"

"Then you should pray for me before the Buddha, asking the Buddha to bless me, the one who awakened your Buddhist heart!"

“Amitabha Buddha, for five hundred years, I have knelt before the Buddha, praying that the most beautiful woman in the world should not be heartless. That would be a trampling on all living beings and men in the world. Since the Buddha has granted my wish, I should enter the world to help the Buddha resolve the calamity!”

Ji Xuanyan did not respond. Back then, she performed a naked dance for the world, and only the person in front of her saw through her heart. But she also harmed the person in front of her.

"Amitabha Buddha, why has the top spot on the Hundred Flowers Ranking remained unchanged for five hundred years? I have sat before the Buddha for five hundred years, yet I still could not understand. Until I saw the peerless beauty Ji Yixuan, I understood. Only by being heartless can a beauty remain eternally beautiful. Only such beauty will forever belong to all people. Your heart has been moved, hasn't it?"

"Is the Buddhism of the Heart that enters the world not for the sake of beautiful women? In the eyes of the Buddha, shouldn't beautiful women be skeletons? You've been kneeling before the Buddha for five hundred years, how come your heart is still filled with thoughts of beautiful women?"

"Amitabha Buddha, I have come only for you. Only the chosen one can change your heartless heart, right?"

Ji Xuanyan's expression changed slightly as she turned to look at the handsome monk. Both of them looked as good as ever, one with unparalleled beauty and the other with dashing good looks, showing no signs of aging.

"You have come as the chosen one; will you kill or help?"

"Amitabha Buddha, I have come for both the heartless and the compassionate. Flowers are both heartless and compassionate, and those who are compassionate should be heartless!"

The handsome monk in blue robes walked straight ahead.

Ji Xuanyan watched the departing figure, and was somewhat moved, murmuring to herself:

"Back then, I performed a nude dance for the world, and the only person I wronged was you!"

Ji Xuanyan shook her head and flew into the Maple Forest. She still needed to find Ji Xuanyi to get to the bottom of things.

Ji Xuanyan walked through the Maple Forest for a long time when her expression suddenly changed. She sensed Ji Xuanyi's presence, but they were fighting.

When Ji Xuanyan found Ji Xuanyi, she was horrified and looked at Ji Xuanyi, who was covered in blood, with a look of surprise.

Without the slightest hesitation, Ji Xuanyan attacked the dark figure directly.

"Xuan Yi, what's going on?"

"What do you think? He's one of Lord Luowu's men; he can use the array power of the Myriad Maple Forest!"

Ji Xuanyan repelled the dark figure with a single palm strike and stood in front of Ji Xuanyi.

The four people who accompanied Ji Xuanyi had died in the Maple Forest. They looked as if they had been drained of their flesh and blood by something, leaving only four dried corpses.

"Are you one of Lord Luowu's men?"

Ji Xuanyan still asked a question, noting that this aura was clearly different from that of Lord Luowu.

If Shen Yichen and Yixuan were there, they would have discovered that the shadowy figure was none other than the Ghost Chief of Bei Meng.

On the city wall of Luowu Ancient City, the order issued by the Lord of Luowu was actually addressed to the Ghost Chief of Beimeng.

Bei Meng Gui Shou hesitated. He never expected that with his strength, plus the help of the Wanfeng Forest formation, he would not be able to easily defeat Ji Xuan Yi.

Both the Northern Ghost Chief and the Lord of Luowu underestimated Ji Xuanyi, and of course, they also underestimated the Ji family.

Looking at Ji Xuanyan, Bei Meng Guishou knew he had to think things through carefully. Ji Xuanyan was probably even stronger than Ji Xuanyi!

Bei Meng Gui Shou disappeared directly into the twilight of the Maple Forest without warning or response to Ji Xuan Yan.

Ji Xuanyan naturally didn't chase after them; she took Ji Xuanyi and flew directly out of the Ten Thousand Maple Forest.

Ji Xuanyan is not to be underestimated; she is capable of seriously injuring Ji Xuanyi. Even if she doesn't combine her powers, she has no confidence in defeating Ji Xuanyi!
