After rebirth, the eldest sister voluntarily abdicated and gave way to the wise.

Chapter 609 Jade Bottle

Jiang Liqian looked dazed. After a moment, she lowered her head and asked softly, "Did Senior Brother... blame me for disgracing him...?"

"No, that's not true!" Bai Yi interrupted her, smiling and pointing to himself. "Otherwise, Senior Brother wouldn't have had such a stern face and insisted that I come. It's obvious that he spoils you, his junior sister, a lot!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Liqian lowered her head even further.

Fourth Senior Brother is the third son of the King of Ten Thousand Demons in Ten Thousand Demon Valley. Even the old monsters in the Desolate Forest would give him some face. If they didn't want to offend this prince, having Fourth Senior Brother escort them would make it much easier to hide their whereabouts in the Desolate Forest.

The eldest brother had considered it carefully, and he even knew that she would ultimately take the risk...

However, she secretly took away a "serious criminal" from the Tianqian Sect, making Zhenfeng the target of public criticism and leaving her senior brother to face the condemnation of the world alone—she failed her senior brother's love and care, and failed her master's teachings.

"I...I'm sorry..."

Bai Yi patted her shoulder, interrupting her overflowing guilt: "Disciples of Zhenfeng should naturally help each other. Besides, I believe Junior Brother is innocent; he must have his reasons. I know Hu Yuheng. As the eldest prince of the Fox Clan, although he has been frail and sickly since childhood, he is exceptionally intelligent and his strength is unfathomable. Whether Junior Brother can kill him is questionable. Even if he can, it will be an earth-shattering event, not something that can be done quietly..."

Speaking of his junior brother, his gaze involuntarily shifted from Jiang Liqian to Xu Youan, who was sitting against a tree with a pale face.

With a slight frown, Bai Yi was startled: "What's wrong with Junior Brother? He, what happened to him..."

He looked like he was on his deathbed.

Jiang Liqian sheathed the Shitian Sword, stepped aside, and wanted to say something, but didn't know where to begin.

Seeing her hesitant expression, Bai Yi suddenly seemed to remember something and took out a small jade bottle from his sleeve. On the body of the jade bottle, three powerful characters were engraved: Xu Youan.

Bai Yi handed it to Jiang Liqian: "When I went to ask my senior brother about your matter, I passed by a quiet room and went in by some strange impulse. I saw this bottle on the table with my junior brother's name engraved on it. I don't know why, but I just stuffed it into my sleeve."

"Looking at the layout of that quiet room, it seems to be the room of some elder or senior, maybe even the former peak master of the formation... Ah, it's very strange, as if someone guided me to bring this here. I've looked inside, it contains extremely precious Spirit Strengthening Pills, a total of one hundred pills, one pill for one year, that's one hundred years."

“I don’t know what’s wrong with Junior Brother, but this thing might be of some use. Here, take it. Even if you don’t need it, it’s still a top-grade pill! Maybe this is the blessing our ancestors couldn’t give Junior Brother in time…”

When Jiang Liqian saw the inscription on the bottle, a flash of white light appeared in her mind. She stared wide-eyed in disbelief at the white jade bottle in his hand, as if a huge bell was being struck repeatedly in her heart, each strike deafening!

She bit her lower lip hard, trying her best to appear normal, but her hand still trembled uncontrollably when she reached out to take the white jade bottle.

Master... Master, it's Master's handwriting, it's the elixir left by Master!

Master...

But, but, nobody remembers him anymore, nobody...

Tears welled up in her eyes and shattered on the jade bottle.

Bai Yi was startled, thinking he had said something wrong. Caught between a rock and a hard place, he could only turn to Xu You'an, who had been watching them, for help.

Xu Youan knew what his senior sister was sad about, but there was nothing he could do to help her. Compared to the vastness of the sky and the earth, human strength was truly insignificant.

Beizhou—Shacheng.

Do not stay in this cold house.

After Ji Yan summoned his subordinates and arranged the plans for the formal attack on the cultivation world, he returned to his room alone.

He sat quietly by the window, staring blankly at the clouds gathering and dispersing in the distance for a long time. His long, jade-like fingers moved stiffly, and a shimmering jade pendant appeared in his palm.

The jade pendant is smooth and warm, with the warmest divine light flowing across it. The divine light is dreamlike and ethereal, with a seven-colored halo. Within the halo, there is a mysterious divine bird soaring with outstretched wings.

He stared intently at the lifelike divine bird amidst the seven-colored light, then suddenly stood up, opened the door, and rushed outside.

"My lord, my lord, where are you going?"

Huo Yao strode over and stopped the guards. He turned to look at Ji Yan, who was walking away in a disordered manner. His heart was filled with anxiety and worry.

Perhaps, the task of finding a way to break the sealing formation should have been left to him in the first place.

Compared to the Demon Lord, the Lord's heart is still too soft.

Ji Yan ignored the noise behind him and went to find Shi Yunyu, who was being held captive, after leaving Biehan Residence.

Shi Yunyu was leisurely fishing on a small boat with withered lotus leaves. The fishing hook and line were attached to the side of the boat, but there were no fish in this artificially excavated lake.

Ji Yan strode to the shore, and without saying a word, he cleaved the small boat in two. Shi Yunyu, who was lying on the boat pretending to be asleep, was caught off guard and fell into the icy lake water, getting soaked to the bone.

"What are you doing? Coming here and going crazy at someone with a congenital disability like me, don't you think it's beneath your dignity?" Shi Yunyu scrambled out of the water and onto the shore in a disheveled state, her head, shoulders, and the back of her shirt covered in fallen autumn leaves.

As he wiped the lake water from his face, his chest heaved with anger.

Ji Yan completely disregarded Shi Yunyu's accusations, leaned down and grabbed his collar, his face terrifying as he questioned, "Did you already know she was with him? Did you predict she would come here to find me? Tell me, tell me!"

Shi Yunyu paused for a moment, then smiled nonchalantly, her beautiful face full of confusion. She didn't struggle, but lazily spread her hands and said, "Who is my lord talking about? I am just an ordinary mortal, how could I know about the future? Is my lord looking for an excuse to deliberately make things difficult for me?"

"Little Yue'er, Little Yue'er! Shi Yunyu, don't play dumb with me, believe me or not, I'll kill you right now!"

Ji Yan's eyes were bloodshot, and his face was terribly pale. He clenched his fists tighter and tighter, as if he wanted to strangle Shi Yunyu, who was completely oblivious to everything.

Shi Yunyu still looked confused: "Xiaoyue'er? Who is she?"

His eyelids drooped down, and he smiled meaningfully, pressing closer: "What is her relationship with the Lord? Are they Daoist partners? Or mortal enemies?"
