“Ji Yunqing, today will be the day you die in Linsuang City…”
A gloomy voice, mixed with the roar of a dragon, echoed from the horizon.
Immediately followed by a rumbling sound, like distant muffled thunder, Ji Yan felt her eardrums vibrating, and a dense wave of demonic energy swept towards her.
Ji Yunqing swiftly turned in the air, narrowly avoiding the attack. The back exposed to the demonic energy quickly turned black, and his clothes instantly turned into ashes with faint traces of blood seeping through.
“Chiyang!” Ji Yunqing gritted his teeth, saying coldly, “If you have the guts, come out and fight me face to face!”
‘Chiyang?
Yin Xuezhuo’s demonic general? The one with the dragon?’
Chiyang sneered in the shadows, “Your righteous words are just a pretense. Who wants to fight you face to face? You’re not qualified, and I can’t be bothered to fight you.”
Ji Yunqing was momentarily stunned by him.
Ji Yan ‘Truly fitting to be Yin Xuezhuo’s subordinate; he talks just like him!’
She silently shrank, while Ji Yunqing continued to charge towards the spiritual vein. Chiyang pursued him, occasionally launching sudden attacks. It seemed like he wanted to prevent Ji Yunqing from reaching there, but at the same time, he didn’t appear entirely focused, as if he came specifically to have fun.
He also couldn’t resist making snide comments.
Chiyang: “Ji Yunqing, where is that beautiful lady of yours? The one in your arms doesn’t seem to be her. Have you already found a new lover?”
Chiyang: “Guess where my demonic master is? Do you think you can retrieve the spiritual vein?!”
Chiyang: “Linsuang City is too remote. I’d rather take down your High Peak. But there’s plenty of time for that. Let’s destroy Linsuang City first.”
Chiyang: “Honestly, Linsuang City is too easy to conquer. Are you doing it on purpose, wanting to give our Demon Lord a favor?”
Ji Yunqing: “…”
Ji Yunqing: “Get lost!”
Even the calm and indifferent Ji Yunqing was made uncomfortable by Chiyang’s constant taunts. As he said the word “get lost,” he simultaneously swung his wide sleeves, and the talismans at the sleeve’s hem flew out like they cost nothing, smashing towards Chiyang. In an instant, numerous fireballs dyed the sky orange and red.
In the piercing flames, Ji Yan could finally see Chiyang clearly.
‘It’s really… a dragon’
A huge, black dragon with tentacles thicker than her entire body. Its black scales emitted a silver-white cold light, and its icy, vertical golden pupils gave off a chilling aura at first glance.
During the moment Chiyang evaded the attacks, Ji Yunqing changed direction, continuing to accelerate and finally shaking him off.
He flew too fast. If it weren’t for the system’s settings, Ji Yan would have worried about Yin Xuezhuo losing track.
In the blink of an eye, they arrived outside the spiritual vein.
Fengliuyun and several disciples from the Sword Sect had already set up a formation, numerous people guarding outside. Upon entering the large array, Ji Yan felt an indescribable oppressive force, making it difficult for her to breathe.
Fortunately, the fragments of Xuanbing Scales around her waist provided protection, and Ji Yan could barely withstand it, though her lips turned somewhat pale.
“This is the Reviving Spirit Pill. After taking it, you’ll be able to temporarily gather spiritual roots enough for you to enter beneath the spiritual vein, while you chant the spell, we’ll immediately activate the array to help you retrieve the contents below the spiritual vein. After getting that thing, don’t hesitate. Destroy it immediately . The reshaping of the spiritual vein will then begin.”

fragments like a meteor shower, the young man with disabled legs who pulled her in front of him to shield her from the shards.
She had no malice towards these people. Even though she didn’t stop Yin Xuezhuo and didn’t actively take their lives, that night she almost got strangled to death by Yin Xuezhuo for defending them. Yet, they still chose this way.
Each and every one of them wanted her dead.
To hell with it.
Whatever demon, whatever person, who cares who’s right or wrong, who’s trying to harm whom.
Even if she were to die, she wouldn’t benefit these people.
Ji Yan sneered in her heart, took the pill without hesitation, and swallowed it.
In that moment, she suddenly felt a surge of scorching heat in her body, rising rapidly along her dantian, burning her internal organs. Ji Yan raised her hand and indeed saw a faint aura surging in the palm of her hand.
Ji Yunqing’s eyes flashed slightly.
His smile became even gentler as he reached out to touch Ji Yan’s soft long hair. “Good girl, go now. As long as you go, you can save the entire Linsuang City. Everyone will be grateful for your great favor.”
Ji Yan raised her head in a daze.
Ji Yunqing’s smile was truly ironic.
This wasn’t the first time for her to dislike him, but at this moment, she felt nauseated.
“Why doesn’t Ji Yan have spiritual roots?”
If it wasn’t for her protecting Ji Yunqing and getting injured when she was a child, how could she not have spiritual roots, becoming a waste for her whole life? “Ji Yan” repeatedly targeted Yin Miaoruo, and Ji Yunqing felt that he had tolerated “Ji Yan’s” misbehavior three or four times and had done everything he could.
But in the end, even giving a poison was done with lies.
Ji Yan suddenly asked Ji Yunqing, “Big brother, if I die, will you regret it?”
Ji Yunqing’s eyes flickered slightly. “You won’t die.”
