Dusk Returns to the Ruined Building

Chapter 1123 A Passionate Heart, a Heartless Fate

"Change yourself, change others, change the masses, change the world"—this describes Shen Yichen.

"Planning for oneself, for others, for the masses, for the world" refers to Ji Qingyun.

There is another person in the ancient city of Luowu. She is the one who kills herself, kills others, kills the masses, and kills the world. That person is the peerless beauty Ji Yixuan.

Just like the one on the Star Gazing Platform at Wangyue Tower back then, Ji Yixuan is ruthless, domineering, and cold-blooded.

Shen Yichen's childhood dream—to observe the world from the Star Gazing Platform—was completely forgotten by Shen Yichen himself, but Ji Yixuan never forgot it.

The reason is simple: the Star Gazing Platform and Yunxia Mountain are the same height. The head of the Ji family ascends to observe the stars, while the Ji family empress resides in Yunxia. One governs the Ji family, while the other restrains the royal family!

In a sense, Shen Yichen and Ji Yixuan are the future of the Ji family, or rather, they determine the fate of the Ji family.

Ji Yixuan is now called Yixuan!

In a deep alley of the Eight Palaces, Yi Xuan wiped the blood from his hands. The Heavenly Manifestation Light on his wrist gradually faded. Behind him lay a person, Su Guangchao of the Longyuan Su Family, who had just fought with Shen Yichen.

Shen Yichen never imagined that someone would kill Su Guangchao for him, and he certainly never imagined that the killer was Yixuan, who was afraid of ghosts and skeletons.

A faint smile appeared on Yixuan's face.

"You, you killed him?"

Young Master Ji Xuanyan gracefully landed beside Su Guangchao, a hint of surprise on his face.

"Ah, Senior, it must be quite difficult for you to simultaneously hold the positions of the head of the Holy Hidden Feather and the master of Yongqing Prefecture. It must be hard to balance serving two masters, right?"

Yixuan slowly walked out of the alley.

Young Master Ji Xuanyan frowned in deep thought, and after a moment, he followed Yi Xuan.

Ji Xuanyan had doubts. She was able to find Shen Yichen accurately not because the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion sent a message, but because Shen Yichen used the Holy Void Emperor Technique. But how could Yixuan also find Shen Yichen so accurately and quickly? She hadn't notified Yixuan!

Ji Xuanyan wanted to meet Shen Yichen privately first, but when she arrived, she found that Yixuan had arrived before her, so Ji Xuanyan naturally did not show herself.

"Your Highness, no matter what position I hold or where I am, my heart will always belong to the Ji family!"

"Hmph, senior, my name is Yi Xuan, not Princess Xuan. There's no need for us to beat around the bush. I won't doubt your loyalty to the Ji family, and don't ruin my plans!"

"My subordinates dare not!"

"Hmph, you dare not? Didn't you come here to explain my identity to the young master? It's just that I arrived before you!"

Ji Xuanyan remained composed, but she was genuinely embarrassed inside; she did indeed have that thought.

"Senior understands perfectly well that your pointing it out is useless, and the young master doesn't need your pointing it out either. If I don't admit it, the young master has no way to deal with it!"

Ji Xuanyan chose to remain silent.

"It's enough that we both know the truth. If we have to bring it up, you shouldn't be the one to do it. This is a matter between me and the young master!"

"This subordinate has no intention of interfering in any matter between Princess Xuan and the young master!"

"It's fine if you're interested, just don't forget your identity as the Lord of Yongqing Prefecture!"

"Your subordinate will never forget!"

"Senior, you're already on the path to forgetting. I am Yi Xuan, and you are not my subordinate!"

"you……"

Ji Xuanyan was seething with anger, feeling awful at being suppressed by a mere young girl! Even the Empress of Yunxia Mountain wouldn't dare to underestimate her like that!

"Hmph, what's wrong with me? Senior is probably very puzzled that I killed Su Guangchao, right? I could have used the Wanmo Sect's techniques to kill him, or I could have used the Xuantian Sect's techniques, but I chose to use the Ji Family's Holy Emperor Technique. Isn't that strange?"

Young Master Ji Xuanyan shook her head, but Yi Xuan had indeed hit the nail on the head regarding her doubts. This was clearly a trap set for Shen Yichen, but Ji Xuanyan knew that this matter was definitely not that simple.

"The Ji family's God-Slaying Army has already amassed troops at the border of Yanquan. I need a reason to enter Yanquan, a reason that will silence everyone, a reason that allows me to unleash a massacre!"

Ji Xuanyan's body trembled slightly.

"This will stir up the sense of shared hatred and indignation among the people of Yanquan!"

"Hmph, a pile of loose sand has been flowing for a thousand years. Do you think it can be reunited? A thousand years ago, the reason why the Ji family failed was because the sea of ​​sand had not yet taken shape. Now the Ji family is the one digging the sand. Yanquan Jianghu will not fall, Yanquan Jianghu will not reunite, Yanquan Jianghu will only be devoured!"

Ji Xuanyan quietly watched Yi Xuan's back. For nearly a thousand years, the Ji family royal family had never interfered in the affairs of the martial world. How could they have such a profound understanding of the affairs of the martial world?

"Since the Ji family royal family is confident in destroying the Yanquan Jianghu, why do they need to find a reason?"

"Haha... Senior, is there nothing left in the Hidden Smoke Abode's strategy besides the change in people's hearts? The Ji family is the leader of the righteous path. There are good and evil in the world. How can the army that eliminates demons be without a legitimate reason?"

"The game of chess in this world, the entire game of strategy, boils down to one word: kill. Senior, your heart is too soft. You'd better stay away from the young master. Please return!"

Young Master Ji Xuanyan stopped in her tracks. She looked at Yi Xuan's nonchalant back and shook her head helplessly.

I want to see him!

"Senior, I have no right to decide. I am just the young master's follower. I will ask the young master for you!"

Young Master Ji Xuanyan watched Yi Xuan's disappearing figure and sighed softly:

"Hmph, brat, looks like I'll have to go see your master!"

Young Master Ji Xuanyan stepped back. She really couldn't go see Shen Yichen; she could only wait for him to come to her.

Passing by a fortune-telling stall, Ji Xuanyan asked the fortune teller to write another line on the painting:

"Kill yourself, kill others, kill the masses, kill the world!"

Young Master Ji Xuanyan suddenly remembered something and moved swiftly.

Soon, Ji Xuanyan reappeared in the alley where Su Guangchao had died.

"Hyunin, stop!"

Ji Xuanyan immediately stopped Ji Xuanren's hand. Ji Xuanyan's forehead was covered in sweat, which showed that she was really anxious.

Purple Robe Princess Genjin wrote on the ground:

"This is detrimental to the young master!"

"Let's leave here first, we'll talk about it later!"

As soon as Ji Xuanyan and Ji Xuanren left, the guards of Luowu Ancient City surrounded the alley.

"Someone, go and inform the Eighth Palace Master immediately!"

Fuchun River is one of the nine inner city rivers in the ancient city of Luowu.

Ji Xuanyan and Ji Xuanren in purple robes walked into a long pavilion beside the Fuchun River.

"This is probably the result Ji Qingyun wanted. Neither Ji Qingyun nor we know enough about the three royal families, especially the Yunxia Mountain royal family. What we need to do now is to wait and see!"

Purple-Robed Princess Genjin, of course, disagreed and wrote in the water:

"Young Master is in danger!"

Ji Xuanyan did not respond until the words in the water disappeared, but she looked preoccupied.

Purple-Robed Princess Xuanren couldn't understand it, so she wrote it in the water:

"You have ulterior motives!"

"How could I possibly harbor any disloyalty? Yichen is half my disciple and the sole inheritor of the Sacred Void Emperor Technique. Yichen's danger lies not in life or death in the martial world, but in his romantic relationships. A passionate heart may lead to a heartless fate, and that is my deepest worry!"

Princess Zishan Xuanren frowned slightly; clearly, she didn't understand.

"You and I know nothing about the royal family of Yunxia Mountain. Ji Xuanfeng comes from Yunxia Mountain, and his evaluation of the royal family of Yunxia Mountain can be summed up in two words—ruthless! Princess Xuan's approach to Yichen is a ruthless destruction of affection, and she is doing just that step by step!"

Princess Zishan Xuanren pondered for a long time, then wrote in the water:

"Kill Xuan Nu?"

"Are you crazy? You can't even think about that again, or you'll be dead for sure!"

Ji Xuanyan's true energy surged around her as she looked around. Finding no one nearby, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Back then, Ji Xuanfeng would rather leave the Ji family than dare to touch the royal family of Yunxia Mountain. Ji Xuanyan could see that Ji Xuanfeng was afraid.

Five hundred years have passed, and Ji Xuanyan has tried every means to find out the source of Ji Xuanfeng's inner fear, but Ji Xuanyan really can't find out anything.

Then there's Ji Xiaoliu, the master of the Demon Extermination Hall. Ji Xiaoliu also has a deep-seated fear of the royal family of Yunxia Mountain, but he never says why.

Back then, the royal family of Yunxia Mountain was able to imprison Ji Xiaoliu, the master of the Demon Extermination Hall, without anyone noticing. Now, Xi Miling's fate is also unknown.

Ji Xuanyan was certain that once Ji Xuanren harbored murderous intent towards Princess Xuannu, Ji Xuanren would surely die!

Ji Xuanyan took out the painting, looked at it quietly for a long time, and murmured to herself:

"All we can do is scheme, fight, and adapt. Perhaps we should confront Qingfeng directly!"
