Dusk Returns to the Ruined Building

Chapter 1179 The Secret Alliance Unknown to Anyone

In the long, dark night, with lights dim and rain pouring down, the brightly lit Hanshan Youzhen stood out prominently in the long street.

Shen Yichen was unaware that after he left, his master's wife brought Ji Yixuan into the room on the top floor of Hanshan You.

Shen Yichen had no idea that his master's wife had appeared out of thin air!

"You, you... senior, what is your relationship with the Lord of Cold Mountain Netherworld?"

Ji Yixuan was truly shocked that there was a teleportation channel in Han Shanyou's room, and it had been set up in advance.

As the Tai Chi disc vortex gradually disappeared, Ji Yixuan wondered if the Lord of Hanshan You knew about this Tai Chi vortex.

That aura was the purest and clearest yin and yang energy in the world, which ordinary people could not possibly sense.

“Your Highness Xuan, you possess the Heavenly Xianglong, so you should know that my Yin-Yang aura is purer than that of the young master. Do you think the Lord of Hanshan You can sense it?”

Shen Yichen's wife walked to the window and looked at the torrential rain outside. She seemed to be looking for Shen Yichen's figure, but alas, he had already vanished without a trace.

Ji Yixuan, adopting a "since I'm here, I might as well stay" attitude, lay down on the bed, looked at the red gauze curtains and green drapery, and softly asked:

"Senior, you rescued the young master that night, and you hid here, didn't you?"

"Young Master, you've been lying there for a whole day and night. Do you feel comfortable right now?"

Shen Yichen's teacher's wife did not deny it!

Ji Yixuan stretched her hands to both sides and gently stroked her lower body.

"Senior, let's talk!"

"Tsk tsk, Your Highness Xuan, what right do you have to talk to me? What are we even talking about?"

Shen Yichen's master's wife turned around and sat down at the round table, took out a pot of wine, and drank it down.

"Cang Yangxue of Qianzong Mountain, you... senior, you really keep surprising me!"

Ji Yixuan got up and sat on the edge of the bed, her brows furrowed.

Cang Yangxue is the wine of the Qianzong Mountain royal family, and as far as she knows, it has never flowed out of Qianzong Mountain.

"Oh my, Your Highness Xuan, you even know this? I guess I underestimated you!"

Ji Yixuan shook her head slightly.

“Senior, there’s no need for us to beat around the bush, is there? Tomorrow, the young master will be heading to the Floating Dragon Cave Pavilion. Lord Luowu harbors ill intentions towards the young master. Without my help, the young master’s fate is uncertain!”

"Haha, Princess Xuan, you're not exactly clever, yet you managed to lure me out. But sometimes you're ridiculously foolish too. This place is connected to the Floating Dragon Cave Pavilion, so the young master won't die!"

Ji Yixuan suddenly stood up, looked at the spot where the vortex had disappeared, and exclaimed in surprise:

"Is there a teleportation channel inside the Floating Dragon Cave Pavilion?"

Ji Yixuan asked a pointless question, and after a long pause, she slowly sat down on the edge of the bed.

This mysterious white-haired woman and Ji Xuanfeng disappeared five hundred years ago. It's likely that there are schemes set up by this person and Ji Xuanfeng everywhere in the Yanquan Jianghu.

"Alas, Yunxia Mountain has truly been isolated from the world for far too long. Senior was right; times have changed and things have become different!"

Ji Yixuan felt a slight sense of defeat. With her intelligence, she might be able to roam freely in the Yanquan Jianghu, but she was far from being able to deal with the ancient monster from a thousand years ago!

Ji Yixuan now understood that she had been worrying too much about Shen Yichen's safety. With this mysterious woman in Luowu Ancient City, Shen Yichen was safe in Luowu!

"It's good that Your Highness Xuan knows this. Don't keep focusing on Ji Xuanfeng; that's not your responsibility!"

"Senior, do you know where Ji Xuanfeng is?"

Shen Yichen's teacher's wife rose and walked to the window, lowering her brows in deep thought. After a long while, she sighed softly:

"The last place I saw Ji Xuanfeng was in Luowu Ancient City. Five hundred years have passed, and I have been searching for him ever since!"

Ji Yixuan lay on her back on the bed, her eyes relaxed, and a smile appeared on her face.

"Ji Xuanfeng has been to Guanxing Mountain. It seems that even you, senior, don't know where Guanxing Mountain is!"

"Your Highness Xuan, what you want to ask is why Ji Xuanfeng went to Guanxing Mountain, right?"

Ji Yixuan closed her eyes; her little schemes couldn't escape the white-haired woman's eyes!

"Hey, senior, would you be willing to tell me?"

"Your Highness, I would be happy to tell you, but alas, I truly do not know!"

"you……!"

Ji Yixuan was speechless for a moment; she felt so tired!

"Senior, then tell me what you know!"

Ji Yixuan closed her eyes slightly; she actually wanted to sleep.

"Ask away, Your Highness Xuan. I will answer to the best of my knowledge, since you can't judge whether it's true or false anyway!"

"you…!"

Ji Yixuan knew that she was gritting her teeth under the veil. She calmed herself down for a long time and then let out a long sigh of relief.

"You just want me to protect the young master, right? You have to force me to say it first, don't you? Senior, don't you feel ashamed to bully a junior from a thousand years later?"

"Your Highness, I had no choice. You forced me out of this situation, so someone has to help me protect the young master. This is a task you chose yourself, so don't blame me!"

Surprisingly, Shen Yichen's teacher's wife didn't argue and directly admitted it, which somewhat surprised Ji Yixuan.

Ji Yixuan got up and walked to the table, quietly looking at the mysterious woman with a full head of white hair.

"Does your statement imply that Ji Xuanfeng's disappearance was not intentional, but forced? Is there truly such a terrifying force in the martial world?"

Although Ji Yixuan understood what Shen Yichen's master's wife meant, she didn't believe it. How could a white-haired woman with such cultivation have any fear? What could a white-haired woman be afraid of?

"Your Highness, have you never considered why Ji Xuanfeng went to Guanxing Mountain? And why Guanxing Mountain doesn't appear in the world?"

What Shen Yichen's master's wife really wanted to ask was Shen Yichen, but Shen Yichen certainly didn't know.

"Senior, I'm asking what you're afraid of?"

"Hmph, of course it's the royal family of Yunxia Mountain!"

"Senior, let's not keep things from each other anymore. You're not just hiding from the royal family of Yunxia Mountain, are you?"

Ji Yixuan was wrong this time. Both Ji Xuanfeng and Shen Yichen's master's wife held the royal family of Yunxia Mountain in awe!

That night, if it weren't for the Yin-Yang energy within Shen Yichen's body, Shen Yichen's master's wife would not have been able to withstand the combined attack of Tian Xianglong and eight other masters.

"Your Highness, although I am all alone, I do not wish to die. I have too many fears about this world of immortals and heroes!"

"Senior, is this interesting? I promise you, I will protect the young master!"

A smile appeared in Shen Yichen's master's wife's eyes.

"The Xuantian Pavilion perished a thousand years ago. A thousand years have passed, and the world of immortals and heroes not only doesn't know, but also doesn't know the reason for the Xuantian Pavilion's demise. That place was the place of eternal life for Dao Heng!"

"Dao Heng Chang Sheng? Senior, do you mean there are survivors of Xuan Tian Pavilion scattered throughout the world of immortals and heroes? Are you afraid of them?"

Ji Yixuan was not surprised by the news of the Xuantian Pavilion's demise, because she did not believe it, since there was nothing unusual about the Gate of Darkness in Yanquan Jianghu.

"Among the eight sects of Xuantian, there are people from Xuantian Pavilion, but they keep it a secret and hide it from the public. However, they have been secretly investigating the forces behind the fall of Xuantian Pavilion, but a thousand years have passed and they still haven't found a single clue. How can this not be worrying?"

Shen Yichen's teacher's wife took another sip of wine. Ji Yixuan had forced her out of the room. She was genuinely worried that someone would come looking for her, and she was certain that someone would.

Upon hearing this, Ji Yixuan frowned slightly. It seemed that not only was there undercurrent in the Ji family, but the seemingly peaceful Jianghu of Yanquan was also likely turbulent behind the scenes.

"Senior, are you worried that the people from Xuantian Pavilion will cause trouble for the young master?"

"We will definitely search for them. The fall of Xuantian Pavilion may be related to the Ji family!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Yixuan suddenly stood up and exclaimed in surprise:

"Senior, is what you say true? This... this is impossible!"

"Your Highness, what's the matter? Please sit down!"

Ji Yixuan looked up at Shen Yichen's teacher's wife, and after a moment, exclaimed in surprise:

You're bluffing me!

"Alas, it seems that Xuantian Pavilion really did have a secret alliance with the Ji family back then!"

"you……!"

Ji Yixuan clenched her fists, her brows furrowed with anger. She was too naive and too careless. A hidden figure whom even Ji Xuanfeng didn't know was truly not to be underestimated!

The Ji family and the Xuantian Pavilion do indeed have a secret alliance, but Ji Yixuan does not know what it is. The secret alliance exists in the eighteenth level of the Fengling Tower's Avici Hell.

The three royal families of the Ji family have been waiting for Shen Yichen. One of their purposes is to get Shen Yichen into the Avici Hell, because only Shen Yichen has the potential to enter the Avici Hell.

Ji Yixuan quietly watched Shen Yichen's teacher's wife's retreating figure, and after a long while, she smiled gently.

"Senior, you approached the young master also to enter the Avici Hell, didn't you?"

"Your Highness Xuan, you actually know about the Avici Hell. It seems that someone from the Yunxia Mountain royal family has already secretly entered the Fengling Tower!"

Both Shen Yichen's master's wife and Ji Xuanfeng had entered the seventeenth floor of Fengling Tower and had seen the words "Hell of No Return," but the prison officer was unaware of all this.

"So, you've been there too, senior? May I ask which of the Holy Emperor Techniques you cultivate?"

Ji Yixuan was really surprised, but she was also very certain that the person in front of her was a member of the Ji family.

"Anyway, it's not the ruthless path!"

Shen Yichen's master's wife neither denied it nor seemed to have ever admitted anything.

"Senior, let's talk about Han Shan You. Why didn't you see the young master, but instead waited until he left before entering this place? Could it be that the master of Han Shan You is someone you and Ji Xuanfeng work for?"

Ji Yixuan didn't ask any further questions. She knew very well that the person in front of her wouldn't tell her about the Holy Emperor's Path of cultivation, because this person had never revealed that she knew the Holy Emperor's Technique!
