Chapter 172 Beauty's Fragrance
"Yes! Yes! Recently it seems that the remnants of the Yu Dao have been active again. Could it be them?"

"You are too arbitrary. That young man has a handsome face, gentle manners, and clear and affectionate eyes. How could he be a person of evil? Don't be fooled by appearances." The woman stared at Ji Haoyue, who was transformed from Zixia, and ripples appeared in her heart.

"You have misunderstood. Of the two stars of this generation in the Way of Human Desire, one practices the Way of Mercylessness, and the other practices the Way of Human Desire. In fact, the difference between mercilessness and human desire is often only a thought away. Losing one's body is a small matter, but losing one's heart is a big one. If one's heart is disturbed by demons and one's cultivation stagnates, it will be too late to regret then." The man reminded earnestly.

"Hanzhou has been experiencing a lot of ups and downs recently, with many important people coming. It is said that the Yin Tiande brothers have appeared, and the most beautiful woman in Ziwei Star Region, Yi Qingwu, has also come. Look, the two of them have entered the Taiyin Gambling Stone Shop. We might as well take a look and perhaps get some unexpected gains and insights."

The Taiyin Gambling Stone Shop had many courtyards, and source stones were everywhere, of varying sizes, ranging from tens of thousands of pounds to a few ounces. The first courtyard was obviously regarded as the lowest class, and few people stopped there. The stones displayed there were all the most common source stones, and some were just randomly piled up to make up the numbers.

Ji Ziyue transformed into Ye Fan, and was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, she closed her eyes and concentrated, as if she was having some kind of subtle communication with these ancient stones. After a moment, she picked up a few source stones and whispered to Zixia, "I'm afraid this place is a shady shop. Among the thousands of source stones, only a few truly contain spiritual energy. Most of them are just for show. This Taiyin Sect is really not a good thing!"

"Tsk! Isn't it the same for your Ji family? The pot calling the kettle black! Let's go to the innermost part! Practice! See how lucky you are!" Zixia said with a smile.

Just when Ji Ziyue was losing interest and wanted to explore further, the two of them simultaneously sensed a strange atmosphere. Even the crowd who had mistaken them for the descendants of the Human Desire Dao and were watching the excitement quietly dispersed.

"Something's wrong! The space has been frozen! Zixia, it's obviously aimed at us!" Ji Ziyue looked solemn and said to Zixia in a low voice.

The words were still lingering in the air when a low and majestic roar suddenly resounded from the deepest part of the Taiyin Gambling Stone Shop, like an ancient echo in the icy abyss, shocking everyone: "What you are doing is undoubtedly courting death! My distinguished guests, today, the Taiyin Sect will severely punish the person who stole the ancient scripture, please forgive me!"

As he finished speaking, a vast, cold and piercing pressure surged out like a tidal wave, like a winter cold wave sweeping across the entire gambling stone shop, causing every inch of space to tremble, as if even the air was frozen under this irresistible force.

Then, from every dark corner of the Taiyin gambling stone shop, figures emerged silently like ghosts in the dark night. Some of them were wearing black robes, their faces hidden in the shadows, revealing a kind of frightening coldness and mystery; some were wearing bright silver armor, with light flowing around them, and every step was accompanied by heavy pressure. Obviously, there were many Taiyin sect forces stationed in this gambling stone shop!

Upon hearing this, Zixia's eyes were like lightning, piercing through the deepest darkness of the Taiyin Gambling Stone Shop. She instantly understood the subtlety of the situation. A cold smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and every word was precious: "What a Duanmu clan, you are actually confusing right and wrong here, and the evil ones are the first to complain! Look at your so-called Taiyin divine power, which is full of coldness and evil. You claim to be orthodox after learning the basics. Aren't you afraid that the Human Emperor Seal will come to the world to uphold justice for us?"

After saying that, Zixia used the Taiyin Ancient Scripture and the Holy Fighting Method to transform all her divine power into Taiyin Holy Power. In an instant, a peaceful and unfathomable Taiyin Holy Power burst out from her body, like a bright moon in the sky, illuminating the surrounding haze, making all the Taiyin believers present feel an unprecedented pressure from a superior. Everyone's faces were filled with horror and they all turned pale.

An old man, whose figure was completely hidden in the darkness, suddenly appeared from nothingness, and his figure instantly approached Zixia's face. A withered hand, with ominous black air lingering on the fingertips, suddenly reached out to the handsome face of "Ji Haoyue" like a claw from the underworld. "You really walked into a trap! As long as you take the imprint of the "Taiyin Ancient Scripture" in your memory, we will be the orthodox descendants of this Taiyin lineage!" The old man's voice was low and gloomy, echoing in every corner of the gambling stone shop, making people shudder.

"The pulse of the law! The supreme power!" A solemn look flashed across Zixia's eyes. Her mind raced, and the secret method of the character "Xing" was instantly activated. Her figure was like the interweaving of light and shadow, and she barely avoided the old man's attack that was wrapped in darkness. Kunpeng spread out at an extremely fast speed, carrying Ji Ziyue at a speed beyond the limit, like a meteor that streaked through the night sky, and rushed out.

Upon seeing this, the Taiyin sect members stationed in the gambling stone shop became gloomy and quickly formed seals with their hands, intending to seal off the entire space.

At the critical moment, "I'll do it!" Ye Fan's mouth inadvertently revealed his sharp and playful little tiger teeth, and his harmless and sinister eyes contained amazing aura. One hand pointed directly at the sky, as if to touch the boundless sky; the other hand gently raised and pointed at Zixia. At that moment, the world seemed to be still.

"Borrow the power of heaven and earth!"

Before he finished speaking, the sky was changing, and a condensed Taiyin holy power condensed from the void, winding down like a dragon, wrapping around his fingertips, shining with a cold and mysterious light. This power was pure and powerful, as if it could freeze everything.

“Boom!” With a deafening roar, the Taiyin holy power suddenly erupted, turning into a dazzling black torrent, rushing straight towards “Ji Haoyue”, instantly submerging his figure in a dazzling light.

"What kind of physique is this?!" Everyone was shocked. They really borrowed the power of heaven and earth.

The mystery of the "Source Heavenly Book" is beyond imagination. The magic contained in it is integrated with my physique, which has allowed me to achieve something that I have always dreamed of and could not achieve in the past! If I only rely on my innate magical power to control this Taiyin divine power, I am afraid it would have burst long ago. Ji Ziyue sighed as she looked at the Taiyin divine power that was continuously input into Zixia.

Zixia was instantly filled with an unprecedented powerful force. She rode Kunpeng to reach a new realm at a high speed, as if she had crossed the shackles of space and instantly jumped out of the boundaries of the gambling stone shop and appeared in the vast world of the outside world.

"Quick! Notify the city lord to open the main city's barrier! The remnants of Taiyin have appeared! Close the city gates! Follow me to chase them!" The black-robed powerful man issued a series of rapid orders.

However, just as he was about to use the power of space to chase the two people who had escaped, his face suddenly changed and he shouted angrily: "Waste! What are you still standing there for? Quickly untie the restraints of this space! If they escape, you will also be to blame!
In Hanzhou City, all the talented people gathered here were keenly aware of the changes in Taiyin Gambling Stone Shop, and the air was filled with tension and curiosity. The leaders of the major sects and their outstanding disciples looked at the two figures running as fast as lightning, and solemn expressions appeared on their faces.

"The speed is amazing. I am ashamed of myself!" A leader muttered to himself, his eyes full of awe for the strength of the unknown strong man.

"Who dares to confront the Taiyin Sect head-on in Hanzhou City?" Everyone was whispering and discussing, guessing the identities of the two men.

"Brother! Do you think that is the Holy Power of Taiyin?" Yin Tiande and his brother also looked at the two people flying away.

Many people also had strange thoughts and got up to chase after him.

And on this bustling street, a suave man in white was gently embracing a stunningly beautiful woman, and their eyes were instinctively following the two receding figures.

The white-clothed man's nose twitched slightly, as if there was an indescribable omen in the air, and his heart was instantly touched by an inexplicable intuition - the opportunity had come quietly! The corners of his mouth inadvertently outlined a gentle smile, and his heart was secretly happy: "The beauty is fragrant, and my path will be accomplished!"
