Feng Yichen?!
How can he be here?
To Ji Yuan, this na is very famous, known far and wide.
Which disciple in the Water Dragon Sect has not heard of Feng Yichen’s na?
Not to ntion his titles as the foremost among Water Dragon Sect disciples or his nurous feats, even just the fact that he killed a Foundation Establishnt cultivator while still in Qi Cultivation is enough to make him famous in Shang Dong.
But he should be at Liancheng Mountain, representing the Water Dragon Sect in a struggle against dicine King Valley.
How is he appearing here?
And from Dong Qian’s ability to detect his presence, it seems he has not concealed his identity.
Based on Ji Yuan’s past experiences, soone like Feng Yichen suddenly appearing in the boundary between two sects is rarely a good sign...
Ji Yuan stared at the black and white writing on the paper in his hands.
His mood was sowhat heavy.
He wanted to flee.
It’s just that simple.
No matter what happens next, he doesn’t want to get involved.
The Illusion Heart Flower, it’s a blessing if I get it, and fate if I lose it.
It’s not indispensable to obtain it now; waiting a bit longer would be fine.
As for strength, although Ji Yuan is currently in Body Foundation Establishnt stage, possessing the power at the early Foundation Establishnt stage, he doesn’t feel like he can take risks recklessly.
On the contrary.
Foundation Establishnt cultivators have more ans and must be even more cautious.
After spending so much ti to reach this Old Locust Valley, and getting nothing, if he just says he wants to leave now.
There are certainly no issues with himself, but what about Dong Qian... considering her temperant, she should also sense that the situation here is not right, so she should also be thinking of leaving.
This is the benefit of being with soone whose temperant aligns with yours.
It saves a lot of trouble.
If he were with soone like Han Feiyu, he would probably think about joining the excitent or having a big fight before deciding.
"Knock knock knock—"
As Ji Yuan was contemplating, soone knocked on his room door.
"Junior Brother, it’s ."
Dong Qian’s slightly magnetic voice rang out.
"Senior Sister, co in."
Ji Yuan collected his thoughts, Dong Qian pushed the door open and entered, then carefully closed it again... It looked like they were sneaking around.
"I’ve already asked Zhu Yue to go out and gather information about the Illusion Heart Flower for us."
This ans there are no outsiders in the room, and they can talk freely.
"Senior Sister, how did you see Feng Yichen? What is he doing here?" Ji Yuan quickly asked.
"I didn’t see him."
Dong Qian shook her head.
"Hmm?"
Ji Yuan was sowhat unclear on Dong Qian’s aning.
"When I was inside the sect previously, I worked on a mission with him, so I got to know him. Just now, as I was walking on the street with Zhu Yue, I suddenly heard his transmission asking why I ca here?"
Dong Qian explained clearly.
Ji Yuan’s first reaction after hearing this was.
"Feng Yichen has established his Foundation?!"
Voice transmission requires Divine Sense, achievable by Foundation Establishnt cultivators. If Feng Yichen can transmit voice, doesn’t it an he has established his Foundation?
"No."
Dong Qian’s voice beca more cautious, looking seriously at Ji Yuan in front of her: "He has Divine Sense while still in Qi Cultivation stage."
"What?!"
It was the first ti Ji Yuan heard of having Divine Sense at the Qi Cultivation stage, so it seed understandable that Feng Yichen could kill a Foundation Establishnt cultivator.
He either has very high talent or great opportunity.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to achieve such a world-defying feat.
Indeed, the world remains filled with talents as nurous as carp crossing the river... even in the small Water Dragon Sect, such hidden dragons and crouching tigers exist.
Hmm... upon returning, I must think of ways to construct a building, preferably one that allows to have Divine Sense in Qi Cultivation stage.
If not possible, at least a building that enhances Divine Sense following Foundation Establishnt.
"Yes, so my disguise holds no effect in front of his Divine Sense. He discerned my identity, then asked what I was doing here."
Dong Qian continued, "I originally planned to ask him why he ca here, but I looked around and didn’t see him."
"He likely has a mission and doesn’t want to show himself."
Ji Yuan speculated.
"Hmm, I think so too. Moreover, his arrival probably ans trouble, and this place is likely to beco a land of disputes... So I want to leave quickly; that’s why I asked Zhu Yue to inquire for us. What do you think, Junior Brother?"
Dong Qian looked at Ji Yuan and asked.
I, I’m even more anxious than you; I don’t even want the Illusion Heart Flower anymore, I want to leave directly... Ji Yuan nodded and said, "That’s great, I think the sa."
"That’s good."
Dong Qian sighed in relief hearing Ji Yuan’s response.
"Then let’s wait a little longer."
Ji Yuan infused Spiritual Qi into his Storage Bag, already checking his various items.
For instance, the top-grade Magical Artifact Thunder Falcon Boat, and the Talisman Treasure Sky Shuttle... Whether or not they can win if anything happens, fleeing must be quick.
About half an hour passed.
Zhu Yue still hadn’t returned, and Dong Qian was getting ready to go out and check.
But before she could move, a gentle voice sounded in both their ears simultaneously.
"Junior Sister Dong, and this... Junior Brother, you should also be from our Water Dragon Sect, could the two of you do a small favor?"
Ji Yuan instinctively exchanged glances with Dong Qian upon hearing this.
With that, there was no need to say more; he knew who had arrived.
Feng Yichen!
"Senior Brother Feng, where are you?"
Dong Qian stood up and asked.
"Here."
The door suddenly opened, and Feng Yichen entered holding a figure. Upon closer inspection, it was Zhu Yue who had just left.
Dong Qian hurried forward to take Zhu Yue.
"Don’t worry, it’s fine. Now, Old Locust Valley is a place of disputes, not suitable for private dealings. Your friend went to inquire about the Illusion Heart Flower and got targeted by people from dicine King Valley. I went ahead and knocked her unconscious."
Feng Yichen explained with a smile.
Dong Qian relaxed after listening and placed the unconscious Zhu Yue on the bed.
Feng Yichen’s gaze finally fell on Ji Yuan, and he said with a slight smile, "I haven’t yet learned the na of this junior brother."
"I am Ji Yuan, greetings to Senior Brother Feng."
This ti Ji Yuan reported his real na.
As for his appearance, he estimated that Feng Yichen, who possessed a Divine Sense, had already seen through him.
"Junior Brother Ji must have a good celestial deanor, which makes envious."
Feng Yichen praised Ji Yuan’s appearance... mainly because there wasn’t much to praise about his cultivation. Feng himself was already at the peak of Qi Refining, so praising Ji Yuan who was only at the ninth level of Qi Cultivation sounded awkward.
"Senior Brother Feng’s na is also well-known."
Ji Yuan followed along with so comrcial flattery.
Seeing Dong Qian also approach after placing Zhu Yue, Feng Yichen then seriously said, "Actually, I’ve co here on a sect mission, and unexpectedly t Junior Sister Dong and Junior Brother Ji here. It seems it’s all fate."
Ji Yuan smiled, saying nothing.
Dong Qian had to follow up, "Just now, Senior Brother Feng ntioned needing our help with sothing?"
"Indeed."
Feng Yichen nodded slightly and pondered, "It’s like this, earlier dicine King Valley instructed Jian Zong to assassinate our Water Dragon Sect’s Liu Cangke, which you two should be aware of, right?"
Ji Yuan and Dong Qian exchanged a glance.
Both of them were mbers of the Water Dragon Sect Mutual Aid Association, and Liu Cangke was the Association Leader.
How could they not know?
They nodded.
"Since dicine King Valley made the first move, they can’t bla us for acting similarly."
"The sect has tracked Zhang Zehuai of dicine King Valley to be located within this Old Locust Valley and ordered to co and kill him."
Feng Yichen directly stated his mission.
Ji Yuan hadn’t heard of this Zhang Zehuai person, so he turned to Dong Qian.
The latter explained, "He can be considered the second among dicine King Valley’s disciples, right after Jian Zong, who has killed a Foundation Establishnt cultivator."
No wonder he was chosen for Water Dragon Sect’s beheading operation... Ji Yuan nodded slightly.
It seems the rumor of Nine Nether Cave Heaven erging is close to the truth, thus Water Dragon Sect began the beheading operation to relieve pressure on their disciples inside.
"So Senior Brother Feng needs our help with... Let be clear, both I and Junior Brother Ji are not skilled in Magical Combat; we’re alchemists. If you want us to fight alongside, then it’s difficult."
Dong Qian spoke again, obstructing the topic of joining the combat, which also made Ji Yuan slightly relieved.
Senior Sister Dong’s disposition ensures she lives a long life.
"Rest assured, killing Zhang Zehuai doesn’t require reinforcents."
Feng Yichen smiled and said, "Moreover, there is a Foundation Establishnt cultivator here, but the sect arranged for a loose cultivator to lure them away, or I wouldn’t dare co here."
"What do you an, Senior Brother?"
Ji Yuan finally asked.
"It’s like this."
Feng Yichen took a deep breath and then said, "Although the Foundation Establishnt cultivator left, they left quite a few Qi Cultivation Stage disciples here, so I want to ask you two to help divert so of them."
"Once I engage in battle, I must win swiftly, or it will be troubleso if that Foundation Establishnt cultivator returns."
Using diversion tactics on so dicine King Valley disciples... Ji Yuan did not agree.
Dong Qian also remained silent.
Feng Yichen seed to have anticipated this and therefore spoke again:
"Relax, I don’t need you two to act. Twenty miles north of here is a dicine King Valley warehouse, usually guarded by only two Qi Cultivation disciples. You can go there and set a fire; naturally, they will send people to investigate."
"You don’t need to fight those two guards. I have three top-grade sets of speed Talisman, and once you set the fire, paste these on the Flying Boat; they definitely won’t catch up."
Feng Yichen said while handing over three Talismans that glowed with a blue light.
Dong Qian hesitated, unsure whether to take them or not.
"You two are here looking for the Illusion Heart Flower, right? I happen to have eight, and since I won’t use them, I’ll gift them to junior brother and sister as compensation for this task, how about it?"
Another opened Jade Box was handed over.
Ji Yuan looked down.
There were eight silver-white blooming flowers lying within, each petal had stripes of gray and white, and just seeing them entranced Ji Yuan.
He quickly blinked to escape this illusion effect.
Illusion Heart Flower.
Its reputation is certainly deserved.
Ji Yuan didn’t expect that after seeking for so long, the Illusion Heart Flower would appear before him in such manner.
"If that’s the case, then Junior Brother Ji and I will do our best; I hope Senior Brother Feng remains cautious."
Dong Qian no longer insisted, eventually agreeing.
Ji Yuan also understood.
Feng Yichen’s actions this ti were generous, offering considerable compensation, arranging everything nicely, basically ensuring no danger.
Moreover, this mission certainly ca from the upper level of the sect, and encountering him here by chance.
And he requested assistance.
Reasonably and logically, it seems we have to help with this task.
Otherwise, if thinking more negatively, if we don’t assist and Feng Yichen’s mission fails, he might just say a few words upon return, landing us in big trouble.
Not to ntion this request really isn’t difficult.
"Thank you both then."
Feng Yichen seed lighter after hearing Dong Qian’s acceptance.
Earlier, seeing them unwilling to agree, his voice was a bit low.
"When does Senior Brother Feng plan to act?" Ji Yuan asked.
"Of course, the sooner the better."
Feng Yichen’s implication was clear enough, if possible, then now!
"Okay."
Ji Yuan and his companion ca here for the Illusion Heart Flower, and now it’s in their possession, there’s nothing else to do.
Thus Feng Yichen prepared to leave.
Suddenly, Dong Qian seed to rember sothing.
And asked:
"Senior Brother Feng, you ntioned earlier that Old Locust Valley is a place of trouble, is there a major event about to occur here?"
Already at the doorway, Feng Yichen stopped, thought, and turned back with a smile:
"Nothing major."
"Just that I, Feng Yichen, have arrived."
"Therefore, this place becos a place of trouble."
