Chapter 9:

Yao Yao picked up the hot bone pendant and blew on it.

She felt it cool down slightly.

She continued to blow on it, lips getting closer, and the bone pendant became hot again.

How amazing!

Yao Yao studied it carefully.

However, at that moment, a powerful and domineering spiritual flow of light swept over her head, like a nuclear bomb crashing into the main hall of the Wuji Sect on the mountaintop.

It was clear that the intruder was a powerful cultivator, and he didn’t show any signs of restraint. Clearly, he was not here to bring goodwill.

“Ji Rong has really come,” a disciple exclaimed.

Yao Yao’s eyes lit up, setting down the bone pendant in her hand. Her round eyes followed the flow of energy.

“Brother!”

Her voice was filled with genuine affection, as if she were calling for her parents whom she hadn’t seen in a long time, brimming with longing and admiration.

This kind of affection was completely different from her affection for her little demon, but the bone pendant in her hand suddenly cooled down.

From being scorching hot to slightly cool.

Yao Yao didn’t have time to ponder further.

She had to hurry and stop her brother from falling into demonic cultivation.

The Wuji Sect stood on the Wenshen Mountain, with clouds swirling around its peak all year round, giving it a divine atmosphere.

Due to its proximity to the Forsaken Abyss, it was like a sacred mountain that guarded the mortal realm, receiving the incense and worship of mortals at its foot.

At this moment, the double doors of the main hall were forcefully blasted open.

A young man in blue stood alone, holding a sword, looking at the people in the hall.

There were the sect masters and elders of the Wuji Sect, but his gaze ultimately fell on Li Cangyan, who was seated at the top.

“Is Yao Yao here?” the young man spoke.

Ji Rong’s appearance was met with surprise. The moment he arrived, the talismans hummed and trembled, countless curses warning him not to trespass.

The first thing Ji Rong did when he came out of isolation was to contact his precious sister.

But Yao Yao’s tracking jade, no matter how he channeled his spiritual power to explore, there was no response, and he couldn’t even detect its location.

This would only happen in a place without a trace of spiritual energy. If she is not in Wuji Sect then where is she?

Yao Yao has been in poor health since she was a child. Many years ago before his parents passed away for some reason, they told him that his sister had another destiny in another world, so they went to that world to take care of her.

In that world, my sister’s health is worse than here.

From that moment on, he shouldered the responsibilities of their father and mother.

Ji Rong spent so many years practicing hard while being a father and a mother. He brought up his younger sister stumblingly, but she fell in love with Li Cangyan, who was still a poor boy at the beginning.

Before Yao Yao followed Li Cangyan to Wuji Sect, he was not optimistic about this marriage, but Yao Yao really liked him.

Ji Rong had no choice but to practice crazily. Chang Sword Sect was in decline. Before he went into seclusion, he was only tied with Li Cangyan. There was the entire Wuji Sect behind him, and Ji Rong could not do anything to him. Therefore, the purpose of his retreat was to overpower Li Cangyan, enough to scare him so that he would not dare to do anything bad to Yao Yao.

Before he went into seclusion, he asked a lot of questions, and his sister said that Li Cangyan treated her very well and that she was very happy in Wuji Sect.

Since childhood, Yao Yao is the most important person to him, even if he were to die, it wouldn’t matter.

“Of course Yao Yao is here,” Li Cangyan said with a smile, “It’s just that Young Master Ji didn’t say in advanced about your visit, so I didn’t expect that you’ll be here.”

Li Cangyan had a smile on his face, but he was holding the hilt of his sword in his sleeve.

Ji Rong has broken through. He is still half-stepped into Deity Transformation Stage, but Ji Rong has already reached perfection. It has only been a few years.

Li Cangyan’s heart sank again and again.

So many things happened like his golden winged spirit eagle was injured, the Divine Weapon stolen. With his mind in turmoil, he really didn’t know if Ji Yao had climbed out of the Forsaken abyss.

He admitted that he had indeed been negligent. But he must not fight Ji Rong in public.

He can’t lose.

Looking at the Ji Rong, his cultivation level is no longer superior to that of Ji Rong. The other elders have also been stuck in the realm for hundreds of years. The cultivation level of the leader of the Wuji Sect is above that of Ji Rong, but he has lived to this age. The most precious thing was that there was no way he could start a fight with Ji Rong, who was clearly angry.

And Ji Yao is indeed not here.

“Where is she?”

The sect masters and Li Cangyan exchanged forced smiles, trying to calm Ji Rong down. Deep down, they began to blame the disciple who had intentionally sent Ji Yao to the Forsaken Abyss as a replacement.

Su Yilin, who stood behind Li Cangyan, bit her lip. Although it was true that Ji Yao had gone to the Abyss of Coldness in her place, it was she who had touched the Soul Nail herself.

It wasn’t her fault. Blame it on the cruel devil in the Forsaken Abyss.

And…

Su Yilin looked at the solemn atmosphere in the hall. Obviously, the conflict between Ji Rong and the Wuji Sect was about to erupt.

If Yao Yao truly became the trigger for their conflict, if she became the point of contention between Ji Rong and Li Cangyan, would their engagement still exist? Would Li Cangyan only associate her with trouble when he thought of her in the future, instead of cherishing her as a white moonlight?

In the hall, the expression on the young man in blue grew darker and darker, and something seemed to be on the verge of eruption in his eyes.
