Sword Qi to the Sky

Chapter 138 Xiao Yu
Many people near the house where Ji Xue lived heard the noise and sensed the presence of evil spirit, so they rushed towards this side. When they looked up, they saw a figure in the air.

"Look."

The people around looked up at the sky and saw a black robe flying and a silver mask shining in the starlight.

"It's the mysterious monk."

Many people ran and chased in the direction of Li Fan.

"What happened?" someone asked.

"There." Someone pointed to the sky, and suddenly more and more people gathered, forming a torrent.

Ji Ran looked up at the sky and saw the figure in the sky. He frowned and hurried towards where Ji Xue lived.

Li Fan did not deliberately cover it up. He needed to let the people of Yunmeng City know that Ji Feng was not the mysterious monk, so as not to implicate Ji Feng.

His body fell downwards, flashing on the rooftops. More and more people were chasing him from behind, and Li Fan leaped into the alley.

"Where is the person?" someone asked. Some people also sent their spiritual consciousness towards the direction where Li Fan fled, but they were unable to catch up.

When Ji Ran rushed to Ji Xue's house, he saw Zhang Bo's body. He entered the inner courtyard, where Ji Xue and Ji Feng were, and there was a demon's body on the ground.

"What happened?" Ji Ran asked.

"There is a demon attack, it might be targeting Ji Feng." Ji Xue said.

"Because of that rumor?" Ji Ran asked.

"It should be." Ji Xue nodded. She didn't think that the demon was coming for her.

"That cultivator showed up and killed the demon?" Many thoughts came to Ji Ran's mind. Seeing Ji Xue nod, Ji Ran stared at her and asked, "The previous rumors were a bit strange. Why did those people mistake Ji Feng? If the other party wanted to frame him, he would not have shown up today. Since he showed up, he probably lives not far away."

"Do you know each other?" Ji Ran asked, staring at Ji Xue.

Ji Xue's beautiful eyes narrowed, and Ji Ran noticed the change in her expression and asked, "You really do know him, right? Tell uncle, who is he?"

"Sister, do you know her?" Ji Feng walked up to look at Ji Xue as if everything was fine again.

He also wanted to get to know her so that he could have face when he brags about it later.

"I don't know him." Ji Xue shook her head and denied it.

Ji Ran frowned when he saw Ji Xue denying it. He could tell from Ji Xue's expression that she should know him.

But she denied it. Was it because she didn't want to expose the other person?

"Ji Xue, can't you trust your uncle too?" Ji Ran asked again.

"Uncle, I really don't know." Ji Xue still denied it. The divine deer woke up a few days ago, and now there is a demon attacking. These two things happening together have confirmed that Yunmengze wants to kill Li Fan.

Of course she couldn't repay kindness with enmity.

Although Ji Ran is her uncle, once someone knows the secret, there is a chance that a second person will know it.

"You came to Yunmeng City with your family members, and you didn't come into contact with anyone in Bailu Academy." Ji Ran looked at Ji Xue and said, "When you came to Bailu Street, you caused the formation to move abnormally. Later, it was rumored that Ji Feng was the mysterious person, and many people speculated that it was Ji Feng who caused Bailu Qingyin."

"But in fact, there was another person present at the time."

While Ji Ran was speaking, he was paying attention to the changes in Ji Xue's expression. Sure enough, when he saw that Ji Xue's eyes were a little flustered, he understood in his heart.

"So, it's him. I should have thought of it earlier." Ji Ran said in a low voice.

Ji Feng: “???”

What are they talking about.

Who?
"Uncle, I'm afraid Yunmengze will not let him go, so please don't disclose this matter." Ji Xue pleaded.

Ji Ran smiled and said, "Don't worry, I didn't expect him to save you. I didn't know him that day, so I said those words to avoid damaging your reputation. Now it seems that I was wrong. Ji Xue, if you like him, then try your best to fight for him."

"Uncle, what nonsense are you talking about..."

"I'll go." Ji Feng finally understood what was going on and said, "Brother Yang!!"

"Shut up." Ji Xue turned around and glared at him. Ji Feng covered his mouth, as if he had thought of something, and the smile on his face suddenly became bright.

Brother Yang, he is very familiar with it!
"Sister, I gave you a chance but you didn't seize it. Now you regret it, right?" Ji Feng said with a smile while looking at Ji Xue.

"Puff..." As soon as he finished speaking, his body was kicked away again.

"Ji Xue, you're out of luck." Ji Feng said viciously.

Li Fan walked around the alleys of Bailu Street for several times before returning to his house.

Li Fan took off his robe and mask with a serious expression.

The demons from the four realms sneaked into Bailu Street to capture Ji Feng, and then combined with the previous big demon that entered Bailu Street.

Li Fan realized that this was directed at him.

Therefore, the Peacock Demon King suddenly took action that day for this purpose.

Just because he killed a few demons in that battle, a big demon came in person?
This seems a little counterintuitive.

What exactly is the problem?

Li Fan naturally couldn't figure it out, and some elders in Bailu Academy didn't understand it either.

Of course, they could not guess that the source of this matter was because the "Demon Saint" of Yunmengze wanted someone.

"It seems that I have to leave Yunmeng City." Li Fan said to himself. Not long ago, he had planned to wait until the storm was over before entering Yunmengze to reach the foundation-building stage, but what happened tonight made him change his mind.

He didn't want to go to the battlefield before because of the imperial court. Now, with Yunmengze, he had to plan ahead and leave Yunmeng City.

"Let's go to Bailu Academy tomorrow." Li Fan thought to himself, asking Liu Ji if she was willing to stay in the academy to practice, and then telling Huang Xiong that he could go to Lishan in the future. Of course, he also said goodbye to Lu Yuan.

He left before his identity was exposed. Even if his identity was exposed later, he would have already left.

…………

Yunmeng City, as the strongest city in Jiangzhou, has many families and sects. These families and sects may not have existed for a long time, but many of them are very powerful.

There are many independent cultivators in Yunmeng City, and many practitioners who hunt monsters, so there is a natural sense of crisis.

When there is crisis, we will keep moving forward.

The Yun family of Yunmeng City is a large family in Yunmeng City, and has a cultivator in the Nascent Soul Realm in charge.

But today, the head of the Yun family came to the door early with his family members, as if to welcome an important guest.

Today, the leader of the top sect in Yunmeng City, Huangji Sect, will come to visit.

The Huangji Sect was established in Yunmeng City not very long ago, only a few decades, but the Sect Master Xiao Yu is extremely powerful and generous, and has won over a large number of talents. Even practitioners in the Condensation Dan realm are willing to join the Huangji Sect as guests.

But decades ago, the Huangji Sect had annexed several major sects and its influence spread throughout Yunmeng City.

At this time, a group of people were flying in the air in the distance and coming towards this side. The leader was a mighty middle-aged man wearing a purple and gold robe, looking extremely noble.

The leader of the Huangji Sect, Xiao Yu, has always been high-profile in his style of doing things and is extremely generous, but his methods are also very cruel. He is generous to his friends and cold-blooded to his enemies.

"Brother Yun." Xiao Yu called out enthusiastically when he saw the head of the Yun family from afar. He landed on the ground and strode forward.

"It is an honor to have you here, Sect Master Xiao." Yun Jing bowed to Xiao Yu.

"Brother Yun, you are too polite. You and I are old acquaintances. Today, I have the chance to bring my daughter here to have a look." Xiao Yu said with a smile. Next to him stood a tall and beautiful woman, Xiao Qiang, the daughter of the leader of the Huangji Sect.

"Xiao Qiang greets Uncle Yun." The woman bowed slightly.

Yun Jing looked at her and smiled, "A tiger father will have a dog daughter. Miss Xiao is a phoenix among men."

"Brother Yun, you don't know, this girl has been practicing all day long, which has worried me to death. I heard that my niece Yun is gifted and is practicing in the Bailu Academy, so I deliberately brought her here to visit her." Xiao Yu said with a smile and glanced at Yun Zhiqiu beside him.

"Master Xiao, you are too polite. I really don't deserve it." Yun Zhiqiu saluted, but his eyes were always on Xiao Qiang.

Xiao Qiang's appearance is no weaker than Ji Xue's. Before, people thought Ji Xue was incredibly talented, but now it seems just ordinary. Xiao Qiang lacks some of Ji Xue's elegance and beauty, but has more heroic spirit and seems to be more proud.

But she is Xiao Yu's daughter, so this is normal.

"Please come in, Sect Master Xiao." Yun Jing said politely and led the group inside.

He felt somewhat uneasy. He had naturally heard about Xiao Yu's style of doing things. He had annexed many forces decades ago. Now, he came with a huge fortune, hinting at a marriage.

But Yun Jing was wary. Why did Xiao Yu like his Yun family?

Although his son Yun Zhiqiu is extremely talented and is practicing in Bailu Academy, he is not the best. Will Xiao Yu let Xiao Qiang marry him?

The group came to the hall and sat down. Naturally, both sides exchanged some pleasantries first, and then Yun Jing asked, "I wonder why Sect Master Xiao came here this time?"

"Brother Yun, don't you understand what I have to say?" Xiao Yu said with a smile, "Brother Yun, I know what you are thinking, but you know how I, Xiao Yu, act. If I really want to take over the Yun family, I won't use such hypocritical means."

Yun Jing didn't expect the other party to be so thorough, so he said awkwardly: "I am a mean person, I will punish myself with a drink."

Xiao Yu smiled, looked at Xiao Qiang and said, "My daughter practices at home all day long. She refuses to go to the academy to practice, which gives me a headache."

"Nephew Yun, what do you think of the academy?" Xiao Yu looked at Yun Zhiqiu and asked, "If I send her to the academy, you have to take better care of her."

"The academy is great. The teachers in the academy are all very capable. You can ask them for advice when you encounter any problems in cultivation. There are also tens of millions of books in the academy, and students in the academy can often communicate and exchange ideas." Yun Zhiqiu responded: "If Miss Xiao enters the academy to cultivate, I will do my best."

"I feel relieved with your words, nephew." Xiao Yu said with a smile, "Recently, the matter of the mysterious cultivator has been making a lot of noise. I heard that it was Ji Feng, the second son of the Ji family in Jiangzhou City. When he entered Bailu Street, he caused the formation to move abnormally. I am a little curious. Does nephew Yun know Ji Feng? Is his talent really so outstanding?"

Yun Zhiqiu felt a hint of disdain when he heard the other party's words, and shook his head and said, "It's just a rumor from the outside world. This Ji Feng is just a playboy, not the mysterious cultivator."

"Oh?" Xiao Yu became more interested and asked, "How could there be such a misunderstanding? So, it wasn't him who caused the abnormal movement of the formation, but his sister?"

"No." Yun Zhiqiu shook his head.

"Who is that?" Xiao Yu asked curiously.

Yun Zhiqiu hesitated and remained silent without answering.

"It seems that it is inconvenient to tell outsiders. That's fine. I'm just asking out of curiosity." Xiao Yu smiled cheerfully and said, "Let's talk about something else."

Yun Zhiqiu glanced at the people around him, and many of them immediately left. He said, "Don't blame me, Uncle Xiao. The elders in the academy have told us about this matter, so please keep it a secret."

"Okay." Xiao Yu nodded.

"According to my guess, the person who caused the unusual movement of the formation should be Yang Qingshan." Yun Zhiqiu said.

"Yang Qingshan?" Xiao Yu asked curiously, "Who is this? I have never heard of him before."

"This person is from outside the area. He was traveling with Ji Xue and the others on Bailu Street. He should be the one who caused the disturbance on Bailu Street." Xiao Yu said, "This person is good at swordsmanship. He entered Bailu Academy with a sword that day and had a conflict with the students. The swordsmanship of the mysterious person is similar to his sword."

"Who is this person? He is so extraordinary." Xiao Yu said.

"I don't know. This person's identity is mysterious, but he is an old acquaintance of another talented woman from Bailu Academy. That woman's name is Lu Yuan."

"Is it Lu Yuan, the proud daughter of Bailu Academy who became famous in that battle?"

Lu Yuan and Huang Xiong both became famous and well-known in that battle.

"Yes." Yun Zhiqiu nodded.

"So that's how it is." Xiao Yu thought thoughtfully.
