Chapter 174: Collecting Yan Yixi

"Buzz!"

A sharp sword containing the majestic power of Taiyin cut through the sky, like a black flash in the daytime, pointing directly at "Ji Haoyue" and "Ye Fan".

"The ghost won't go away, it's really troublesome!" Zixia spat lightly, her brows revealing helplessness, or her own strength was too weak!

However, he was not panicked. He raised his hand lightly, and an ancient black gourd slowly emerged from his palm. The mouth of the gourd was gently pulled open, and suddenly, a deep and dark breath overflowed from the black hole-like gourd mouth, as if it could swallow everything in the world.

"Whoosh——"

With a slight sound, the long sword that was originally unstoppable and heading straight for the immortal platform was forcibly changed direction under the pull of this mysterious force, and turned into a stream of light, which was swallowed by the black gourd in one gulp, leaving no trace.

As the dazzling divine sword suddenly disappeared in the void, the sky seemed to be torn apart, and several figures appeared. Then, a roar that shook the sky exploded, as if an ancient giant beast awakened from its slumber and roared at the mountains and rivers!

Taiyin Sword Cultivator's face instantly turned pale, his anger surged like a tide, his eyes widened as if they were about to spit out fire. He had originally carefully planned a surprise attack, intending to catch the enemy off guard and unable to mobilize the unknown holy soldiers in time for defense. However, he did not expect that his most cherished flying sword, which was at the crossroads of his life, would fall into the hands of the enemy in an instant. How could he not be furious and heartbroken!
"Duanmu Qingkong, calm down! These two thieves are not ordinary people. They must have many secret treasures on them. Don't let them go easily! The city lord is confident of victory. He has seen that the cultivation of these two thieves is not very high. The strongest one, the elegant man, has not yet broken through to the Xiantai realm. I believe that he must have paid a huge price to activate the holy soldier just now!

The sudden change just now made him alert instantly. As he spoke, an ancient and majestic Taiyin Cauldron rose from the palm of the city lord. The body of the cauldron was flowing with a deep black light, just like the stars in the night sky, mysterious and majestic. The Taiyin Cauldron maintained a delicate balance, neither completely silent nor fully revived, but in a minimal awakened state, ready to respond to sudden crises at any time, ensuring that the strongest defensive power could be instantly erupted at the critical moment.

When Zixia and Ji Ziyue saw the Taiyin sect members chasing them, they flashed and quickly escaped into the deep space tunnel leading to the Taiqing Holy Land. The door of the tunnel slowly closed behind them, as if swallowing up all traces.

Upon seeing this, the city lord became extremely anxious and used all his strength to activate the Taiyin Cauldron, intending to stabilize the space and prevent the tunnel from closing. At the same time, the other disciples of the Taiyin Sect followed without hesitation, wanting to pass through.

However, the power of the Taiyin Cauldron seemed to have accidentally triggered some ancient restriction, and a heart-pounding wave suddenly appeared in the void, spreading like ripples. At this moment, the portal that Zixia and Ji Ziyue entered was closed with a bang, blocking everyone from the Taiyin Sect. But at this critical moment, a figure miraculously got stuck in the moment before the portal closed, turned over and jumped in - it was Yan Yixi.

"Keep chasing! Find other passages and don't let them escape!" The city lord's face was as gloomy as he quickly gave orders, while an ominous premonition surged in his heart.

"Reporting to the city lord, the intruder is Yan Yixi, who is often with the young lady. It is said that he is the famous Yixi, who is ruthless and has a ruthless heart!" The attendant at the side reported in a low voice, with a bit of shock in his tone.

"What!" Upon hearing this, the city lord's face suddenly changed, and he was furious. "Pass the order down, at all costs, kill this man on the spot, no need to leave him alive! I want him to pay the most painful price for his actions!" On the other side, Ji Ziyue had regained her peerless beauty, and whispered to Zixia, "Someone followed quietly, and his intentions seemed to be harmless. Moreover, the aura lingering around him is surprisingly similar to the Six Desires Heavenly Art, and it also echoes a certain aura on your body."

Upon hearing this, Zixia looked at Ji Ziyue with deep eyes, and a confident smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "It's okay, this person should be a practitioner of Ziwei Human Desire. Facing him, I have my own countermeasures, no need to worry."

After saying that, a deep light flashed in her eyes. Ever since Ji Ziyue obtained the Source Book of Heaven, her Yuan Ling body seemed to be awakened by supreme power. Any source fluctuations inadvertently leaked by any cultivator could not escape her keen perception. This ability was truly amazing.

Zixia and Ji Ziyue walked side by side, surrounded by purple mist, as if they were in a fairyland, and all the scenery became hazy and unreal. Ji Ziyue couldn't help but sigh: "This Taoist temple left by Laozi is really wonderful! I have completely lost my way. Those palaces that are clearly visible in the outside world seem to have merged into this purple mist, without a trace." Hearing this, Zixia also frowned slightly, showing the same confusion, and then stopped and examined this ever-changing environment with Ji Ziyue.

At this moment, a melodious and elegant male voice came from the fog: "My name is Yan Yixi. I love all the beautiful things in the world, especially beautiful women. I regard them as the most moving scenery in the world. I wonder if you two fairies would like to become the protagonists of my painting?" After that, he gently unfolded a folding fan, on which were painted all gorgeous beauties. Each of them was extremely graceful and looked like fairies walking out of the paintings, which was breathtaking.

Upon hearing this, Ji Ziyue raised her eyebrows and said in a cold voice: "Where did this lewd villain come from? I'll kill you!" Before she finished speaking, she took out a mirror from her sleeve, and several sharp sword lights condensed from pure murderous aura instantly shot out from the mirror and rushed straight towards Yan Yixi.

Yan Yixi was not in a hurry. She gently waved her folding fan with a faint smile on her lips. She easily dispelled the sword lights and said leisurely, "Fairy, please do not look at me with worldly prejudice. My heart of Taoism is pure and flawless, not as evil as you think. It is difficult to find a soulmate in the vast sea of ​​people. I wanted to use painting as a medium to appreciate the beauty together, but I did not expect to encounter such a misunderstanding."

"You are quite unique. You came to this secret place not to seek inheritance, but to paint for us. However, even so, you are still a lecher!" Ji Ziyue said

Yan Yixi put away his folding fan and looked serious. "A true gentleman, elegant yet dignified, how can you easily slander him with the word 'lecher'? I paint to pursue and respect beauty, not to be frivolous. I hope the fairy will understand and not compare me with those vulgar people."

"How can we not know what you are thinking?" Zixia finally opened her lips. Before she finished her words, she gently swayed her purple skirt, and circles of delicate ripples, carrying an inexplicable power, quietly swept towards Yan Yixi.

In an instant, Yan Yixi's heart was surged with unprecedented emotions. There seemed to be a sound of great truth in his ears that made him realize the truth, and there seemed to be a decadent sound that made him sink into it. The two intertwined, making him feel as if he was on the edge of dream and reality.

The world before his eyes quietly transformed, everything faded, only Zixia's figure, like a goddess descending from the sky, peerless, charming, tender, slowly approached, and touched his forehead with incredible tenderness. However, the tenderness at this moment was like a thunderclap in his heart. Yan Yixi suddenly woke up, retreated violently, his eyes regained clarity, and shouted: "What is your relationship with Li Tian? No, his ability is not enough to interfere with my Tao heart! Who are you!?"
