"You!"
Wang Junzhao was so enraged that her throat felt choked, unable to utter a single word.
Si Jianye's cold, sharp eyes immediately fell upon Wang Junzhao. His voice, like his expression, was filled with icy chill. "Take out the note and let me see it."
This cold glare sent shivers down one's spine.
Wang Junzhao trembled in fear, shrinking behind Feng Qingcheng, her lips quivering as she stammered, "No... if I take it out, you'll definitely destroy the evidence!"
Si Jianye scoffed, raising an eyebrow, his eyes flashing with coldness. "If I'm displeased, I'll tear down the Immortal Sect. Do you think a mere piece of paper is something I'd care about?"
He waved his hand as if to demonstrate.
The two stone pillars at the entrance of the Immortal Sect instantly erupted in raging flames!
The disciples of the Immortal Sect immediately fell into a panic, rushing to extinguish the fire.
Tang Zun was the first to notice something amiss and quickly called out, "Don't use water! This is spiritual fire, it can only be extinguished with spiritual energy! Let's use our spiritual energy to put out the fire!"
The disciples of the Immortal Sect stopped splashing water and quickly circulated the spiritual energy within their bodies to combat the flames.
Wang Junzhao, terrified, cowered in the back, silent, fearing that any more words would cause the King of the Underworld to lop off her head.
Si Jianye glanced lazily at the crowd busy extinguishing the fire. The depths of his cold eyes were unfathomable, making it impossible to guess his thoughts.
The next moment, he took Feng Ninghe's hand and left.
Su Hongxiu also followed without a word.
Bai Niannian's eyes shone with admiration as she clapped her hands and exclaimed, "As expected of the King of the Underworld! He and Sister Feng are truly a match made in heaven!"
She did not forget to cast a provocative glance at Feng Qingcheng.
Si Jianye using spiritual fire to burn the stone pillars was a warning to the Immortal Sect. If Feng Ninghe were harmed, even if he disdained it, he would make the entire Immortal Sect pay.
This woman's life was his. Anyone who dared to touch her would have to get past him first.
The flattering female voice reached his ears, and Si Jianye's lips curved upwards imperceptibly. He inexplicably found her words exceptionally pleasant to hear.
The group swaggered away, and no one from the Immortal Sect dared to step forward and stop them.
Feng Qingcheng stared in the direction they had left, her eyes filled with unwillingness. "We finally had an opportunity to act. If we miss today, it will be difficult to make a move later."
Tears welled up in Wang Junzhao's eyes as she sobbed softly, "I thought I could avenge Junior Brother Di today, but who knew Feng Ninghe would still escape!"
Feng Qingcheng did not hide the hatred in her eyes. "Feng Ninghe must die. It's just that now is not the time to act. She has too many people around her. We'll have to find another opportunity to make a move."
Wang Junzhao nodded repeatedly in agreement. "Sister Qingcheng is right, we cannot forget Junior Brother Di's revenge!"
Di Yang remained silent, his face etched with grief.
As a father, he couldn't even avenge his son.
After a moment, Di Yang composed himself and called over one of the disciples. "Keep an eye on Feng Ninghe. Remember to maintain a distance and absolutely do not be discovered."
In Jinling, within a private room of an inn.
The group gathered here.
Su Hongxiu, her well-defined fingers holding a teacup, took a sip and her gaze fell on Feng Ninghe. "Miss Feng, what are your plans next? Are you planning to return to Medicine Valley or...?"
Facing the question, Feng Ninghe's eyes narrowed slightly, and she voiced her thoughts. "The mastermind has not yet been caught. I plan to stay in Jinling for a while."
Su Hongxiu's eyes lit up instantly. Without hesitation, she said, "In that case, why don't you stay at Willow Leaf Sect? Having a place to stay would be convenient."
Before Feng Ninghe could respond, Si Jianye spoke first. "Jinling is not safe. The Sect Leader of the Immortal Sect has already set his sights on you. As long as you stay in Jinling, trouble will be unavoidable. Eventually, everyone will attack, and they will coerce Willow Leaf Pavilion to release you. It would be best to go to Xiyou Continent."
Xiyou Continent was his territory, and no one dared to provoke it.
If the Immortal Sect dared to go to Xiyou Continent, they might not have the fortune to leave.
Su Hongxiu raised her eyes flirtatiously, meeting his gaze. "The mastermind is still at large. If we go to Xiyou Continent now, who knows when we'll catch the culprit. I think it's better to come to Willow Leaf Sect."
Feng Ninghe glanced around and said softly, "We can just find an inn to stay in. It's not easy to catch the mastermind, and this matter needs to be discussed at length."
She reached out and gently stroked the spatial jade bracelet worn on her wrist.
Di Wenbin had not yet woken up. She had to take the initiative to find the culprit.
Bai Niannian nodded slightly in approval, her gaze falling on Feng Ninghe. "Sister Feng is right, the mastermind is still at large, and we must catch them!"
Feng Ninghe's eyes flickered slightly. She looked up at Feng Xing. "Ah Xing, you can take Old Man Xu back to Medicine Valley first. I still need to handle these matters."
She had many things to attend to and couldn't return to Medicine Valley for the time being.
Feng Xing's handsome face creased with concern. Without hesitation, he said, "Master, Jinling is fraught with danger. I need to stay by your side. There's strength in numbers, and I can help. Since we've already brought back Old Man Xu's head, we'll eventually take him back to Medicine Valley."
Bai Niannian also chimed in eagerly at this moment. "I can go to my brother's place. Sister Feng, if you don't mind, you can come with me."
Feng Ninghe shook her head, refusing. "We can just find an inn to stay in. I don't want to cause trouble for your brothers."
She was already the primary target of the Immortal Sect, and other Immortal Sects might not be willing to shelter her.
It was best to remain self-reliant and avoid trouble.
Su Hongxiu gently swayed her bone fan, her gaze falling on Feng Ninghe. "Go to Willow Leaf Sect. At least you won't have trouble knocking on your door for a while. We'll deal with anything that arises then."
Si Jianye's brows furrowed, a sense of annoyance rising within him.
Feng Ninghe pondered for a moment, then finally nodded in agreement. "Then I'll trouble Sixth Master."
Willow Leaf Sect was located in a place with abundant spiritual energy, surrounded by lush flowers.
Su Qian stood at the sect entrance, waiting.
"Sixth Master."
Seeing Su Hongxiu, she strode forward. "Your room has been cleaned, and everything at Willow Leaf Sect is in order."
Su Hongxiu specifically looked at the people beside him. "Prepare guest rooms for them and assign a few clever young maids to attend to them."
As her gaze fell on Si Jianye, Su Hongxiu's lips curved upwards, her eyes filled with amusement. "King of the Underworld, don't you have matters to attend to back in Xiyou Continent?"
The teasing words made Si Jianye raise his eyebrows. "I've already delivered the gift for my master's birthday, so there's no rush."
Su Hongxiu's enthusiasm made him feel extremely agitated.
He feared that if he left Jinling, Su Hongxiu would turn around and curry favor with Feng Ninghe. If he were present, he could at least keep an eye on things.
Su Hongxiu turned her gaze back to him, her eyes holding a deeper meaning. After a moment, he averted his gaze and strode into the sect. "Everyone, follow me. I'll give you a tour of Willow Leaf Sect."
*
Immortal Sect.
The news of Feng Ninghe and the others entering the Immortal Sect reached Di Yang's ears immediately.
Feng Qingcheng breathed a sigh of relief. "Fortunately, they didn't leave Jinling."
