Dusk Returns to the Ruined Building

Chapter 1137 Brothers Meet Again and Face Off Again

Everyone prays for the mercy of fate, but few see the tears that lie before their knees.

Shen Yichen has shed tears for love and for affection, but he seems never to have shed tears for his unfortunate fate, nor has he ever prayed for the mercy of fate.

On the misty, rain-soaked street, Shen Yichen was stopped by someone.

"Wu Lang Academy really loves to bully the weak, senior. Are you here to kill me too?"

It was Baili Zhao who stopped Shen Yichen.

"Beneath the Ji family's Emperor Tree lies the Fengling Tower, where your predestined fate resides. Remember, never die, for that fate has been waiting for you for a thousand years!"

Baili Zhao only said this one sentence before he quietly slipped away.

In the darkness, Shen Yichen was somewhat bewildered, not by Baili Zhao's words, but by Baili Zhao's tone, which sounded like he was giving his dying words.

As Shen Yichen walked forward, he muttered to himself:

"Fengling Tower, Fengling Tower, why does it look so familiar?"

Shen Yichen suddenly stopped in his tracks. He remembered that the Half-Faced Demon Emperor had once said that after the end of the Divine Dragon Era, there were four mysterious beings in the world.

Twilight Temple, Hall of Return to Life, Palace of Remnant Souls, Fengling Mansion!

Guisheng Tower is related to Guisheng Hall, and Fengling Tower must be related to Fengling Mansion.

Shen Yichen understood; all four places must be related to the Chosen One!

"Now that you're here, show up!"

Shen Yichen's heart was truly aching because the person who came was Ji Yihong, and he really didn't want to face her.

From past memories, it is clear that he and Ji Yihong have always competed for everything since childhood, and it seems that they are still like this now. He may not compete for anything, but the competitiveness in Ji Yihong's heart seems to be engraved in her bones.

“Brother Chen, even when you were still the young master of the Ji family, I was already resentful. Why should we all respect you and give way to you? We are all descendants of the Ji family. You can get whatever you want. Why should we all respect you and give way to you?”

Ji Yihong actually spoke directly about the resentment in his heart.

Shen Yichen was genuinely surprised!

"My surname is Shen, and my given name is Yichen. Young Master Ji, you have mistaken me for someone else!"

“I really want to mistake you for someone else, and I really want you to wander the world, but the Ji family is unwilling. After thinking it over, I think only if you die will the Ji family give up the idea of ​​bringing you back to the Ji family forever. Since your father has manipulated the Ji family, why should you stir up the undercurrents in the Ji family?”

Shen Yichen didn't want to explain anymore. No matter what he said, he couldn't remove the hatred and murderous intent in Ji Yihong's heart. After all, he was the child favored by the entire Ji family when he was young!

"Go ahead and do it! Don't wet your pants if you lose!"

Shen Yichen's aura changed; he was about to use the Cloud Void Extreme Deception Technique, as well as the secret technique passed down to him by his mother.

When Shen Yichen recalled the past, the secret techniques he had once cultivated naturally returned to his memory. Those should be the strange Gu techniques of the ancient Miao region.

"Hmph, Brother Chen, do you believe me if I deliberately wet my pants back then?"

Ji Yihong snorted coldly, leaped forward, and struck Shen Yichen with both palms.

Shen Yichen looked horrified and exclaimed:

"What do you mean?"

Shen Yichen originally wanted to use the Gu technique to avoid Ji Yihong's sharp edge, but Ji Yihong had completely blocked his surroundings, so he had no choice but to fight head-on!

Shen Yichen was shocked not only by Ji Yihong's words, but also by Ji Yihong's strength.

Ji Yihong is much stronger than he was in Jianying City, which means that the inherited power within Ji Yihong's body is being continuously absorbed by him.

A faint bitterness welled up in Shen Yichen's heart. Ji Yihong was really more hardworking than him!

Shen Yichen and Ji Yihong clasped hands together, and the energy released between them transformed into a storm that dispersed in all directions.

Both men looked solemn and were dressed in stern clothes.

"What do you mean? Hmph, it's simple. Our encounter with Princess Xuan back then wasn't accidental. Haha, you didn't expect that, did you!"

Shen Yichen had just realized what was happening. He continued to increase his true essence and said coldly:

"Why? It was that old nun's scheme, wasn't it?"

"Why? Hmph, of course it's to deal with you. The young master of the Ji family comes from two royal families. He must antagonize the royal family of Yunxia Mountain. Otherwise, how can the Ji family have a foothold? That's not Ling Shuang Valley's idea, but the idea of ​​the entire Ji family's Thirteen Feathers!"

"You, you're so young, and you got involved?"

"No, no, no, I only realized it later. Do you know why you and your father couldn't become the head of the family? The thirteen members of the Ji family wanted to change the structure of the Ji family. The Ji royal family was like a mountain, pressing down on the entire thirteen members of the Ji family, making it hard for them to breathe. This imbalance of power is the root cause of your and your father's deaths!"

Shen Yichen shook his head and sighed:

"You're still as self-righteous as you were when you were a child. Have you really seen through the Ji family? Have you ever stood on the Star Gazing Platform and carefully observed the Ji family? Do you know where the source of the Ji family's undercurrents lies? Do you know why so many people in the Ji family are loyal to me? You know nothing. All you know is to fight and fight. What makes you think you're so great?"

"Sigh, you've never been as good as Nan and me since you were little, and you're still the same now!"

Shen Yichen had no choice but to use the power in his sea of ​​consciousness. The power from the vortex of the Cloud Void Extreme Strange Technique in his sea of ​​consciousness surged into Shen Yichen's palms, instantly repelling Ji Yihong.

Both men staggered backward, each clutching their chest, desperately suppressing the surge of blood within them, neither willing to admit defeat.

"That's the difference between you and me. I don't fight for anything; I just want to prevent you from having anything, haha..."

Ji Yihong let out a wild laugh, his true energy surging outwards, his aura soaring straight to the heavens.

"How could your power have increased so quickly?"

"This is the inherited power of the Ji family. I felt it belonged to you, but how did it end up in my body? I'm so confused. I'm going to use the power that rightfully belongs to you to kill you!"

Ji Yihong transformed her hand into a sword and slashed at Shen Yichen.

Shen Yichen's expression changed slightly; he had no choice but to use the power of Yin and Yang.

Shen Yichen formed a hand seal in front of him, and the Yin and Yang energies above his heart quickly flowed to his left and right hands. With his hands forming a seal, Shen Yichen created a Tai Chi shield in front of him to meet Ji Yihong's earth-shattering sword strike.

The wind picked up on the long street, and the rain stopped!

The space around Shen Yichen and Ji Yihong seemed to freeze. In just a moment, three beams of light shot into the sky, one yin, one yang, and one xuanhuang.

The immense power dispersed and disappeared into the world.

Shen Yichen lay on the ground covered in blood.

Ji Yihong knelt on one knee, her hair disheveled.

Shen Yichen lost, just like the competition at the Wangyue Tower Star Gazing Platform back then. Although he was unwilling, he still lost!

"Did you wet your pants? Were you scared by your own strength?"

Shen Yichen wanted to raise his head to look at Ji Yihong, but he couldn't move.

Ji Yihong did indeed wet his pants, and he was genuinely terrified by his own actions. In that instant, the power within him surged like a flood, almost tearing him apart.

Ji Yihong understood that he still couldn't perfectly control the power within his body; he was too impatient.

"Brother Chen, you've lost again. Do you really deserve to be the young master of the Ji family?"

Ji Yihong stood up with a ferocious expression and walked step by step toward Shen Yichen.

Ji Yihong really wants to kill Shen Yichen!

Shen Yichen closed his eyes and sighed inwardly:

"Qingxue, I'm sorry. Will my death really save the world?"

"He is qualified; he is the young master of the Ji family!"

Shen Yichen suddenly opened his eyes.

Ji Yihong also stopped walking.

The two men looked at the drunkard standing in front of Shen Yichen. It was not Shen Yichen's second uncle, Ji Qingfeng, but his third uncle, Ji Qingli.

Shen Yichen and Ji Yihong shouted it out at the same time.

"Father!"

"Uncle Three!"

"Hey, Hong'er, I'm not your father!"

"Chen'er, I am not your third uncle. I am Ji Qingli from Ling Shuang Valley. I am your guardian!"

Ji Yihong and Shen Yichen's expressions changed drastically; they were both somewhat confused.

At the same time, Hong Ling, Lu Luo, and Ji Jingtao appeared on the long street. Strangely, the three of them stood in three different directions, seemingly surrounding Ji Qingli.

Green Ivy spoke first:

"Third Master, Ling Shuang Valley has not chosen Shen Yichen!"

Ji Qingli tilted her head back and took a sip of wine, then turned to look at Ji Jingtao.

"Master, you shouldn't have come!"

"Ah, Qingli, I'm relieved to have Xingfaling in your care!"

"Then why did you choose Frost Valley?"

"As a disciple of Ling Shuang Valley, I must naturally be loyal to Ling Shuang Valley!"

Shen Yichen was truly bewildered; the undercurrents within the Ji family were numerous and chaotic!

"I must protect the young master today. You should leave now and go back to tell the Valley Master that Ji Qingyun is too cunning, and Ling Shuang Valley will suffer a great loss!"

Shen Yichen and Ji Yihong were shocked, as if they had fallen into a fog.

"Third Master, Ling Shuang Valley is the guardian of the Ji family head, this is an ironclad rule of Ling Shuang Valley throughout the ages! Since the Qingyun family head is not dead, we should do our duty faithfully, please do not make things difficult for us!"

"Hmph, so you mean Yi Hong is your young master? I'd like to know who Yi Hong's mother is?"

"You... Father, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Although Ji Yihong knew he was not Ji Qingli's son, how could he be Ji Qingyun's son?

Shen Yichen was just as dumbfounded as Ji Yihong at this moment!

Ji Qingli's words didn't sound like a joke, and judging from the behavior of Hong Ling and the other two, they were clearly protecting Ji Yihong.

"Third Master, we are only following orders, and we know nothing else!"

"I only asked you to pass on a message: Shen Yichen cannot die. You can leave now!"

Hongling, Luluo, and Ji Jingtao all looked at Ji Yihong at the same time.

"He... he's really my brother? I... I'm really Ji Qingyun's son?"

“Hong’er, your inherited power comes from Ji Qingyun. How could I be wrong about that? I discovered the clues in Jianying City. Just now, you used your full strength, and I am certain once again that you must be Ji Qingyun’s son!”

Ji Yihong clenched his fists, gritting his teeth as he pondered. After a long while, he uttered a single word:

"kill!"
