Dusk Returns to the Ruined Building

Chapter 907: Single-plank Bridge and Yangguan Road

The wind blew in Jianying, and the strange thick fog that could not be blown away was still spreading. In the void, the water of Muling Lake was about to run out, and the catastrophe was about to come. However, the grievances and grudges in Jianying Holy City had not yet been resolved.

The woman with an eye mask was sitting beside the stone table in the pavilion, while Demon Slayer Lingling was standing at the edge of the pavilion, looking up at the void.

"Senior, why is there no murderous aura or devouring power in this breath of the night world?"

"Your heart has changed, you've become impatient, is it because of Shen Yichen?"

The woman with the eye mask smiled slightly!

"I don't know what you mean by that, senior!"

"Hmph, what is Ji Xuanying, the genius of the Ji family, planning? Why did he send you to protect Shen Yichen?"

"Senior, you are too suspicious. In your eyes, all conspiracies and tricks cannot stop the murderous intent!"

The woman with the eye mask rubbed her head. Her intention of coming to Yingzhou was discovered by Demon Slayer Lingling. Although she knew that she couldn't hide it, it still gave her a headache!

"Five hundred years ago, that's what I thought, but Xuanfeng was forced to leave the Ji family. Five hundred years later, I want to see Xuanfeng again!"

There seemed to be self-blame, regret, and more of expectation in the tone of Demon Slayer Lingling's head!

"Ah, I'm powerless, but there's one thing I'd like to ask you, Senior. Who rescued Shen Yichen?"

The Demon-Slaying Feather Head did not respond.

Ji Yinnan arrived at this time. He looked at the woman with an eye mask sitting in the pavilion and was slightly stunned. He certainly didn't expect that his master actually knew this woman and seemed very familiar with her.

Ji Yinan respectfully walked behind the Demon-Slaying Lingling and bowed!

"Disciple greets Master!"

"Senior, that's a good move, but I don't think Qingfeng will buy it!"

Ji Yinan was shocked when he heard this. He glanced at the woman with the eye mask and felt vaguely that this woman was a member of the Ji family. She didn't address his father as the head of the family, nor as Ji Qingfeng!

"Little girl, you know I can't play chess!"

Demon Slayer Lingling turned around and looked at the woman with the eye mask, his eyes calm but full of doubt.

"But your disciple Ji Xuanfeng can do it, and he even defeated my master with one move. If a tree stands out in the forest, you can't blame the wind for being ruthless!"

Demon Slayer Lingling closed his eyes. Only after Ji Xuanfeng left the Ji family did he figure out everything, but it was too late.

"Humph, it turns out Shen Yichen is the future star of Qianzong Mountain. No wonder, a lineage of geniuses often dwindles. But from what I know about Ji Xuanying, this isn't his style!"

"Senior, you guys take the single-plank bridge, and we take the Yangguan Road. It's better for us to keep to ourselves!"

"It's hard to walk alone. Unfortunately, I'm not the one walking on the single-plank bridge, but Shen Yichen. As long as Shen Yichen doesn't take the Yangguan Road, I won't attack him!"

The woman with the eye mask stood up, bowed, and said respectfully:

"Thank you, senior!"

Suddenly, a shocking aura rose in the distance.

The demon-killing feather head and the woman with the eye patch turned their heads suddenly and spoke at the same time:

"The inherited power of the Ji family!"

That aura was the result of a full-strength attack from Ji Yihong and the blood-robed old man.

Ji Yinan didn't know, he only knew that there was the aura of the Holy Emperor in that breath.

Ji Yinnan stood quietly, his expression calm, without saying a word.

"Senior, the way to slay demons has a successor. Congratulations, and goodbye!"

The woman with the eye mask left, but before she left, she patted Ji Yinnan on the shoulder, as if she admired Ji Yinnan's calmness.

Ji Yinan still looked normal.

"Don't you want to know who rescued Shen Yichen?"

"Senior, you don't know either. If Shen Yichen doesn't enter the Yangguan Road, your disciple must never walk on the single-plank bridge!"

The woman with the eye mask disappeared. Demon Slayer Lingling shook his head and said softly:

"Using your brain is really tiring. Nan'er, when you return to Zhongzhou, tell your father that the Ji royal family's Tianzong lineage supports Shen Yichen. Let Qingfeng figure it out. I can't figure it out!"

"Yes, Master!"

Ji Yinnan didn't say much and didn't ask a single question. This was his character, and he had been like this since he was a child.

Ji Yinan only told his true feelings to two people, Shen Surong and Ji Yichen.

"Nan'er, aren't you curious about who rescued Shen Yichen?"

Ji Yinan shook his head and did not respond.

"But Master is curious. Mo Qu's reaction proves that she really doesn't know. Yet, she is willing to stand guard outside the house. Who could be the person inside? Moreover, she performed a trick right under Mo Qu's nose and deceived him!"

Mie Mo Ling Ling was talking to himself, but he really couldn't figure it out. However, he revealed the identity of the woman wearing an eye mask!

The person who came to Yingzhou with him from Luoji Mountain was also the person sent by Ji Xuanying, the leader of the Tianzong lineage, to protect Shen Yichen. Her name was Ji Moqu. No, her surname might not be Ji. People who knew her only knew her name was Moqu.

Ji Yinnan was very worried about Shen Yichen in his heart, but he did not show it at all. He really wanted to tell his master that the person he supported was also Shen Yichen, but this was a secret that could not be told.

Demon Slayer Lingling looked up at the nearly dried-up Muling Lake and said softly:

"Let's go, it's time for you to know what it means to slay demons!"

Ji Yinnan and the other person quickly disappeared in the long street. As for where they were going, Ji Yinnan had no idea.

Before leaving, Ji Yinan looked back at the courtyard where he came from. It seemed that there were still people fighting there.

There were indeed people still fighting on the ruins of the courtyard. They were Hong Ling and the old man in the blood-red robe.

The two men fought back and forth, but the fight was earth-shattering.

It was a pity that Ji Yihong fainted, otherwise he would have known how powerful Hong Ling was and would not be at a disadvantage in the fight with the blood-robed old man.

In fact, this was also thanks to Ji Yihong's full-strength fight. The old man in the blood-red robe took on the inherited power in Ji Yihong's body and was of course injured.

Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, Hong Ling had a serious expression on her face. There were blood stains at the corners of her mouth, but she was still constantly mobilizing the true energy in her body. The strange blood mist around her consumed too much of her true energy.

"Is it worth it for you to risk your life for someone who has nothing to do with you?"

The old man in the blood-stained robe also had a headache. This was not the time for him to fight, but he was unwilling to give up the Blood Demon Girl. That was the result of his decades of hard work hidden in the Ouyang family.

"Let me tell you a secret. I hate the people of Ancient Miao Territory. To be more precise, I hate them! But I'm just a girl, I can't harbor hatred in my heart!"

The old man in the blood-red robe clashed palms with Hong Ling, and his hat finally fell off in the powerful air wave.

After seeing the blood-robed old man's face clearly, Hong Ling was horrified and exclaimed:

"It's you!"

The old man in the blood-red robe and Hong Ling retreated at the same time and landed on the ground. The aura around them flickered.

"You know me? Impossible!"

The face of the old man in the blood-red robe was hidden in his hat again.

Hong Ling wanted to retreat, so she quickly came to Ji Yihong's side. Hong Ling knew that the old man in the blood-red robe still had a trump card, so she was afraid that her only choice was to escape.

The old man in the blood-red robe looked at Hong Ling quietly. He really couldn't remember who Hong Ling was, nor did he remember where he had seen her!

"Since you know me, leave the person I want behind and you can take him away!"

The old man in the blood-stained robe placed his right hand inside his left sleeve, where a faint glow of blood was emanating.

Hong Ling knew that it was the Silent Yin Blood Ring and she had no chance of winning at all.

Hong Ling glanced down at the unconscious Ji Yihong and sighed inwardly:

"Master, I'm sorry, I tried my best!"

Hong Ling looked up at the old man in the blood-red robe and said softly:

"You're right, there's no need for me to risk my life for someone irrelevant to me!"

After saying that, Hong Ling picked up Ji Yihong and prepared to leave, but she stopped before she had gone far.

Several people came nearby, and one of them blocked her way!

"Leave him to me!"

Hong Ling looked at the old man in his seventies who was leaning on a cane, and her first reaction was to step back. She did not know Ji Linghai, the old man of the Ji family, but Hong Ling knew Ji Xuanyan in black who had just arrived, and the direction she retreated was exactly where Ji Xuanyan in black was.

Hong Ling also knew the other two people who had just arrived, the Ji family's Phantom Emperor Bai Yi Huan Meng and the Tianshui female hero Jiang Meng Yin.

Ji Xuanyan in black looked at Hong Ling who came to her side and said lightly:

"Hong Ling, where is Shen Yichen?"

Hong Ling said anxiously:

"Senior, help me!"

Ji Linghai, the old man of the Ji family, was slowly walking towards them.

Tianshui heroine Jiang Mengyin flashed to Mei Yu's side with a look of astonishment on her face!

"Blood Demon Princess? How did Jian Ying get this thing?"
