Chapter 789: Chapter 567: Ten Thousand Demon Hall’s Hostility Towards Southern Hong_3

Ji Jingxi sighed like a mosquito, feeling a bit lost. However, having prepared herself for a hundred thousand years, she did not lose her composure excessively.

But soon, she turned her gaze back to Shen Yi. If it was not Brother Qin reincarnated, then all the mysterious events happening to Shen Yi had to be attributed to himself.

Thinking of this, the heart of the Sect Master of Pure Moon Sect could not help but be somewhat shocked.

In this world, cultivation could actually be like this.

Rather than saying that the Seven Sons of South Hong had protected the other party for a period of time, it was better to say that they were fortunate enough to witness the days when a True Immortal had not yet fully grown.

"Sigh."

Ji Jingxi adjusted her emotions, looking around with slight nervousness.

Once a person has concerns, they cannot afford to lose, and their courage also diminishes.

For example, right now, she did not want her own actions to cause any mishaps for this young sect master: "Come with me first, the Ten Thousand Demon Hall is nearby. You wanted to save that Azure Phoenix, but now that you’ve killed it, you have offended the Ten Thousand Demon Hall. We cannot stay here much longer."

Having said so, she directly took hold of Shen Yi’s sleeve and led him toward the water.

Shen Yi hesitated for a moment but did not refuse.

He probably knew where Sect Master Ji intended to take him. It just so happened that he had left in a hurry before; he would have to visit the Western Dragon Palace sooner or later, so becoming familiar with the terrain was also fine.

...

Western Hong, at the summit of Mount Yu.

An elegantly adorned inner chamber.

Zi Xian was still sitting between the beds, but her clothes were slightly disheveled, and her expression somewhat languid.

This was her intentional act, designed to prevent Jingxi from feeling alienated. When she returned, it was meant to give the ambience of sisters chatting idly in their chamber.

During her breath, Zi Xian sensed that deeply cherished presence.

She quickly straightened up a bit, waved her sleeve to push the door open, a smile lingering on her lips: "You’re back—"

The smile on the Dragon Consort’s face stiffened, and her speech abruptly halted.

"..."

Ji Jingxi’s fingertips twitched, instinctively pulling the young man beside her to her rear.

Zi Xian took a deep breath, staring at the familiar face.

She had no idea why the other party had clearly said they would leave and then suddenly returned to Western Hong; it was as if they were a relentless spirit!

She withdrew her smile, tugged her clothing to cover the expanses of enticingly fair skin, and said without warmth, "Please come in."

Shen Yi had no particular reaction; he stepped leisurely into the inner chamber.

He was merely curious.

Last time they met, the Dragon Consort was quite polite, but this time she seemed slightly hostile.

However... hostility was fine.

If every demon was kind toward him, with the saying ’It’s hard to slap a smiling face,’ who would tread the great path of his cultivation? Surely he couldn’t walk it all by himself.

"Could you be more careful next time?"

Ji Jingxi reluctantly whispered a reminder, truly puzzled; as a being comparable to the Heaven Realm, the Purple-Bearded White Dragon should at least have the skill to sense who was outside the door.

"And you’re blaming me?"

Zi Xian rolled her eyes teasingly, "Little Jingxi, oh little Jingxi, you really have learned some bad tricks from your senior brothers."

In the past, Ji Jingxi would never have dared to do such a thing, relying on having her own back and not fearing the spread of the news.

And indeed, she could not possibly stand by and watch that news spread.

"They are really too much," she said.

Ji Jingxi found a seat next to Shen Yi—having her Sect Master by her side somewhat restrained Zi Xian.

Zi Xian caught this scene, and seeing Shen Yi’s calm demeanor, she suddenly felt a twinge of annoyance and muttered through gritted teeth, "I think you are being too much."

"By the way, I encountered Ten Thousand Demon Hall," Ji Jingxi seriously added.

"Hmm?"

Upon hearing this, Zi Xian instantly dropped her playful mood, and her expression grew serious, "Is there really a Ten Thousand Demon Hall?"

Although she had given Ji Jingxi that piece of news, it was actually just a rumor from Old Seven’s servant; it sounded real, but she had never witnessed it herself.

"What is their strength?"

At that question, Ji Jingxi hesitated and cautiously replied, "Not low, at least I couldn’t handle her. It seemed she only came to save that Phoenix Demon and didn’t really mean to fight; she left after just one move."

"Who had the upper hand?" Zi Xian furrowed her brows.

If there truly was a Heaven Realm Great Demon in Ten Thousand Demon Hall, it was no joking matter because every Heaven Realm powerhouse was no fool. There was no reason to needlessly offend the Infinite Dao Emperor Sect unless they truly had strong backing.

"I used my Divine Skills, and she resisted only with her Demon Body and was not injured," Ji Jingxi’s eyes flickered as she continued, "And when she wanted to leave, she turned into a black flowing light and escaped, and I couldn’t keep her."

"..."

Zi Xian fell into contemplation, suddenly recalling the last episode when An Tingfeng inexplicably went mad—it seemed like the person had also escaped as a black flowing light, ultimately misdirecting the disaster to the South Hong Seven Sons... that despicable brat in front of her.

"Ten Thousand Demon Hall has ill intentions towards you all, be cautious," she finally restrained her frustration and reminded Shen Yi.

"Thank you,"

Shen Yi nodded lightly and said no more.

The perspectives of these two Heaven Realm powerhouses essentially represented much of Western Hong’s power. If even they couldn’t fathom Ten Thousand Demon Hall’s depth, then there was still much room for him to maneuver.

Of course, besides that, his reason for not being talkative also included... Shen Yi always felt there was something odd about the relationship between the Sect Master of Pure Moon Sect and the Dragon Consort, and he preferred not to get involved.

"By the way, what about that Phoenix Demon?" Zi Xian suddenly recalled something.

Since Ten Thousand Demon Hall wanted to protect her, didn’t that mean Jingxi suffered a loss quietly?

"Sect Master Shen took care of it for me," Ji Jingxi’s eyes slightly lowered.

Indeed, Zi Xian instantly understood, her expression turning as bitter as if she had swallowed bitter herbs.

No wonder! No wonder she returned so quickly; it turned out she wanted to use Mount Yu to help this lad lay low.

With this thought, Zi Xian pointed to her own nose, "Look."

Ji Jingxi looked curiously, "Look at what?"

"Look at the scapegoat."

Zi Xian glared at her and gloomily waved her sleeve!
