Dusk Returns to the Ruined Building

Chapter 1189 The Illusionary Emperor's Message Hinders the Female Warrior

After the rain, the sky cleared, and the clouds were light and the breeze gentle.

Shen Yichen and Mu Qingxue are finally going to the Floating Dragon Cave Pavilion. Unfortunately, Shen Yichen looks a bit dejected because he was woken up while still drunk.

Shen Yichen, Jiang Mengyin, Jian Bujian, and the Dwarf Saint all got drunk last night. As for the other three, Shen Yichen wasn't sure if they were truly drunk or just pretending, but he was definitely drunk!

Shen Yichen was annoyed!

His worries weren't about the uncertainty of his fate, nor were they about leaving Mu Qingxue. Shen Yichen's real trouble was how to walk his own path in the martial world.

The feeling of helplessness, of being unable to control one's own destiny, deeply pierced Shen Yichen's heart.

Last night, although Shen Yichen was drunk, he had an unexpected gain: Jiang Mengyin mentioned his mother, and the short saint of the Youjian Sect actually knew his mother.

Shen Yichen was genuinely surprised!

When asked about Shen Surong, the drunk Jiang Mengyin only said one sentence, a sentence that everyone in the ancient Miao region knew.

Shen Surong is the pride of the ancient Miao region, and also the cunning demoness of the ancient Miao region!

Jiang Mengyin didn't know what was real. In fact, she had only seen Shen Surong four times, three of which were at the Shen family: when Shen Surong was five years old, at her coming-of-age ceremony, and when she was married off to the Ji family.

And another time, outside the Shen family's residence!

At the tender age of twenty, Shen Surong had already traveled all over the ancient Miao region, and it is said that she had even visited the Twelve Peaks of the Wuhuo Mountain.

Of course, no one knows whether this matter is true or not. For the people of the ancient Miao region, the Wuhuo Mountain was the most dangerous place and a forbidden area!

Oh, right, Jiang Mengyin also mentioned something else.

Shen Surong is very beautiful!

Shen Yichen did not know the name of the short saint of the Youjian Sect and never mentioned him.

Regarding Shen Surong, the Dwarf Sage only mentioned one thing: Shen Surong seemed to have entered Yanquan to search for the Xuantian Eight Sects. As for whether she found them or not, the Dwarf Sage did not know.

In addition, Jian Bujian mentioned something else.

It is said that Ji Xuanfeng was also searching for the Xuan Tian Eight Sects when he roamed the Yanquan Jianghu. It seems that Ji Qingyun also came to Yanquan when he was young for the Xuan Tian Eight Sects.

In a daze, Shen Yichen realized that Ji Xuanfeng, his father Ji Qingyun, and his mother Shen Surong were probably looking for Xuantian Pavilion!

Shen Yichen's drinking session was worthwhile; he not only learned some things about his mother, but also brought back two helpers.

Jian Bujian and the Dwarf Saint actually wanted to go to the Floating Dragon Cave Heaven Pavilion with him.

Initially, Shen Yichen naturally refused, but the two used their gratitude to blackmail him.

Jian Bujian said that Shen Yichen had tricked his disciple Qianxin, causing Qianxin to be drawn into the vortex between Wulang Academy and the Song family of Yishui.

The Dwarf Sage said that he had saved Shen Yichen and a few others outside the ancient city of Luowu.

Shen Yichen agreed to let them go to the Floating Dragon Cave Pavilion together, and that would wipe the slate clean. Otherwise, they would find another way to prevent Shen Yichen from going to the Floating Dragon Cave Pavilion.

The drunken Shen Yichen knew that these two people were probably after Jian Chenqing, but he agreed. Shen Yichen didn't want anything to happen to Jian Chenqing, and the trip to Fulong Cave Heaven Pavilion should have been unrelated to Jian Chenqing!

Shen Yichen and his group walked along Yunlu Street near Wangxing River, which leads directly to Fulong Cave Heaven Pavilion. Along the way, they could occasionally see the peaceful Wangxing River.

Clearly, the Lord of Luowu already knew that Shen Yichen and his group would take Yunlu Street. Along the street, there were guards every five steps and sentries every ten steps, all of them guards of the ancient city of Luowu.

Shen Yichen and Mu Qingxue walked at the front. Shen Yichen was a little dizzy and smelled strongly of alcohol.

Shen Yichen rubbed his head as he walked, and it took him a long time to become somewhat sober.

The wind blowing from the Milky Way is quite chilly!

"Sober now? What's with those two behind you? Sister Qing seems really angry! Yichen, I've noticed you're really carefree; you even have the leisure to drink!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yichen shook his head and asked softly:

"Qingxue, hasn't Yixuan come back yet?"

"Is there even a question? If he came back, would I still be able to stay by your side with such peace of mind?"

Shen Yichen glanced back at the crowd behind him. Besides Jian Bujian and the Dwarf Saint, there was another person, completely hidden in a black robe, even more tightly wrapped than the Blood-Robed Hong Zaiyu.

Shen Yichen's heart skipped a beat. The man in black robes was a powerful figure, and an extremely powerful one at that. The inexplicable fear he felt was genuine.

Shen Yichen swallowed hard, ignoring Jian Chenqing's angry gaze, and turned his head to say in a low voice:

"Qingxue, I owe those two people a favor, but after this trip together, it will be all settled!"

"Tch, why can't you ever be honest with women! Are you worried about Sister Qing's safety?"

Mu Qingxue had actually guessed everything long ago, and she didn't want Jian Chenqing to get into trouble either, because she still had a lot to learn!

"Qingxue, who is that new person?"

Shen Yichen didn't want to get entangled in Jian Chenqing's matter.

"I need someone to protect me before Sanssouci Palace is built!"

Shen Yichen didn't ask any more questions. He put his arm around Mu Qingxue and used his internal energy to envelop the two of them in his true essence.

Shen Yichen whispered in Mu Qingxue's ear:

"Youxin really followed us. Have your people found out anything about his background?"

"It's not that easy. All we know right now is that Youxin is indeed a disciple of the holy monk Dilan of Changsheng Temple. How could we possibly find out the truth in such a short time?"

Be careful of him!

Shen Yichen himself couldn't explain it. Although they both looked like children, he was much more wary of Xiao Youxin than of the little Taoist boy. Perhaps it was because Xiao Youxin was a Buddhist!

"Yi Chen, can you tell me the truth? Did you really never guard against the people of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect?"

What Mu Qingxue really wanted to ask was to be wary of her.

Shen Yichen shamelessly kissed Mu Qingxue's cheek.

"Qingxue, we've been through thick and thin together, we'll never regret it, have you forgotten?"

"Thank you!"

Among everyone, Shen Yichen should be most wary of the people from the Ten Thousand Demons Sect, after all, he is the young master of the Ji family and the chosen one.

Mu Qingxue was truly gratified that Shen Yichen genuinely trusted her.

"Qingxue, tell me, do you think I will really succeed today?"

Shen Yichen was nervous; in fact, he had been in a state of high tension the whole time.

"If it doesn't work, it just means Yun Tianming's skills aren't up to par. Let's think of other ways. Anyway, you have to leave me a child before you go back to the Ji family!"

Mu Qingxue had been full of confidence, but for some reason, she felt worried after waking up this morning. She did not tell Shen Yichen about it.

"Whoosh!"

A sharp whistle rang out through the long street as an arrow pierced the air and arrived.

Shen Yichen and Mu Qingxue immediately recognized it as the Ji family's "arrow of return," but it was merely a message and contained no murderous intent.

Shen Yichen used his inner energy with one hand to catch the Returning Heart Arrow with his bare hands and took the letter from the arrowhead.

Shen Yichen and Mu Qingxue were both taken aback when they saw the letter. It read:

"This is addressed to Brother Mu by Jiang Mengyin!"

Shen Yichen handed it to Mu Qingxue.

Mu Qingxue frowned slightly, turned around and handed it to Jiang Mengyin.

"Sister Yin, do you still have acquaintances in Luowu Ancient City?"

The masked man was just behind Jiang Mengyin's right hand. Although he couldn't see the words on the letter, he knew who had sent it—the Illusionary Emperor of the Ji family.

The masked man stepped forward and looked at the letter. The letter contained only one meaning:

Jiang Mengyin cannot go to Fulong Cave Heaven Pavilion!

There is only one reason:

Jiang Mengyin is a female knight-errant from Tianshui in the ancient Miao region.

"Mengyin, what do you think? I told you last night that he would think the same way I do. You are from the Ancient Miao Region and should not interfere in Luowu's affairs!"

Today's journey concerns the world of Yanquan. Luowu, the Wanmo Sect, and the Ji family—none of them harbor hostility towards the Ancient Miao Territory.

The Emperor of Illusion wrote in his letter that he asked the masked man to persuade Jiang Mengyin. In fact, the masked man had already tried to persuade her last night, but Jiang Mengyin wouldn't listen!

"Mengyin, if you don't think about your own safety, you should at least consider Qingxue's safety. If you come along, there will surely be conflict today!"

"Sister Yin, the Illusionary Emperor of the Ji family, who was in front of the Nine-Story Tower, has also come to Luowu Ancient City? He seems to care about you a lot!"

Mu Qingxue also guessed that the messenger was Huan Huang. At this time, Huan Huang was able to stop Jiang Mengyin, which means that Huan Huang really cares about Jiang Mengyin.

Mu Qingxue was unaware of the pain in Jiang Mengyin's heart!

Neither the masked man nor Jiang Mengyin mentioned the matter of the Illusion Emperor to everyone, as it was baseless and would only cause unnecessary trouble!

Upon hearing that it was from the Illusion Emperor, Shen Yichen wanted to take a look at the letter, but he refrained from doing so.

Shen Yichen really didn't expect that the Illusion Emperor would also come to Luowu Ancient City.

Jiang Mengyin hesitated. In reality, she knew very well that if she were involved, today's events would become more complicated and unpredictable. But she really just wanted to be an observer!

"Mengyin, you should go back to Tianshui. You'll be alone, I'm afraid..."

The masked man didn't continue. Without a doubt, the Illusion Emperor would force Jiang Mengyin to return to the Ancient Miao Domain. If things changed, no one could guarantee that the Illusion Emperor wouldn't kill Jiang Mengyin.

Loving someone deeply also means hating someone even more deeply!

A strange flame flashed in Jiang Mengyin's hand, burning the letter to ashes. She then looked at Shen Yichen and said something very odd:

"Chosen One, please don't die! The Ancient Miao Domain welcomes you!"

Shen Yichen and Mu Qingxue exchanged a glance. They both knew that the Chosen One must also be related to the Ancient Miao Region, otherwise the Blood-Robed Hong Zaiyu would not have treated Shen Yichen that way.

But Shen Yichen and Mu Qingxue really didn't expect that Jiang Mengyin's visit was also for the Chosen One. Clearly, the Illusion Emperor had guessed this!

“I think I will go, my mother is from there!”

"Sigh, I wanted to help you, but the Ji family isn't willing, so forget it. Actually, the Ancient Miao Domain isn't that scary. You've been there before!"

Shen Yichen was taken aback upon hearing this.

"You...you've seen me before?"

Jiang Mengyin smiled and disappeared in a flash.

"You've actually met me before, you should remember!"

"Sister Yin, is it true?"

Mu Qingxue exclaimed in surprise, but Jiang Mengyin was nowhere to be seen.

"Uncle, why did Sister Yin leave in such a hurry?"

Mu Qingxue was somewhat puzzled!

The masked man pondered for a long time, then looked at Shen Yichen and asked softly:

"Young Master Shen, where have you seen her before?"

Shen Yichen did not respond; his memory was incomplete.

For some reason, three words came to Shen Yichen's mind:

Huilong Mountain!
