Jing Shu did not know that the monarch of Yinshang, Tianyi, was coming to search for her. Even if she had known, she would not be bothered.
She walked over a mountain range that had the semblance of a bird. Specifically, it was similar to a peacock that had its wings widely spread, as if it was eager to soar. The lush greens made it look even more alike to the feathers of a peacock.
However, the name of this mountain range had no associations to peacocks. This place was named Jinji Ridge. Its topography was precarious and the magnetic force within the mountains was extremely multifaceted. Even immortals and land immortals were unable to fly across this area, they could only track through the mountains.
Owing to the unique topography of Jinji Ridge, the area had always been securely guarded by the troops of Yinshang. Within the place, there were numerous intractable cultivators of Qi who had a handful of cultivation experiences. They did not merely shoulder the responsibility of protecting the entrance, they even utilized the magnetic force of this place for cultivation.
Nonetheless, there were not even one soldier in Jinji Ridge today, not even any cultivators of Qi. Such a colossal ridge became a hollow, empty city.
This was because all the living beings in the city were frightened away by the arrival of two people.
Jing Shu found out that the city was a little odd, but she still walked in without any apprehension. These people vacated in a rush as there were a few steaming hot snacks left behind along the streets. Jing Shu took the food and placed them in her mouth brazenly. From Jing Shu’s perspective, the food of mortals was filthy. However, she wanted to have a taste of it.
She had never experienced the hustle and bustle of a city. Hence, everything here appeared fresh and interesting to her.
Raindrops began drizzling on the Erhou Street. Every raindrop seemed to be a spirit, born in the sky, and ceased to exist when it reached the earth. They simply dispersed before even having the chance to experience the mortal world.
Jing Shu was suddenly saddened by the fact that although she had lived for a long time, she was never contented. In the past, she had always been in the cold, icy Palace Yaoshi. Even though she knew many things about the external world, being informed was vastly different from having a personal experience.
That was why she liked the Winning Buddha because he did what he wanted to, unrestricted with the utmost freedom. Even though he failed in the end, from Jing Shu’s point of view, the Winning Buddha would always be deemed as a courageous and rightful hero. This differed from those who were from Palace Yaoshi, it was also unlike the celestials or buddhas with whom she was familiar with.
Amidst the misty drizzle ahead, there were two different individuals.
One was clad in a white garb resembling floating clouds, sitting on a bloody throne; the other’s attire flowed like spring water where she stood alone in the rain and howling wind.
Both of them were in a silent stand-off, where their presence had seemed to influence the heavy storm clouds that covered the sky. If one had seen these two people, all of the surroundings would have bern easily neglected.
Jing Shu recognized the lady whose garment flowed like spring water. That was sister Kui Li that she had been looking for. However, as both of them were confronting each other, the intermingling of Qi dynamics had changed, she actually had difficulty interrupting this confrontation.
In terms of mana, she believed that she was better than any one of them. Nonetheless, it was bizarre because when both of their Qi dynamics merged, she could not view it clearly.
This was because both of them were alike to a circle, without any imperfections. Just like a cobblestone that experienced the flush of flowing water over thousands of years, having it being pressed under a stone bridge, it would still remain as a cobblestone, there would not be any changes made.
When the two cobblestones started to collide with each other, it seemed that neither one could force anything upon the other.
The intensity of the storm increased, every rain droplet had life, some even roared or screamed. This was not surprising because the merger of the two person’s Qi dynamics represented some in-depth way of Dao in the world. That was sufficient to create all living things.
Hence, the creation of some rain droplets was very normal.
When Jing Shu appeared, Kui Li had already discovered, she had no remaining strength to be shocked. The man in front of her had brought immense stress, it even made her a little distrait.
The opponent’s Qi dynamic changed frequently, like that of floating clouds. It was also similar to the ever-flowing waters, continuous and fine, so elongated such that the end was unable to be found. Most importantly, the Qi of heaven and earth was surprisingly well attuned to him. Though it was said that the rain water was produced because of the merger of the two’s Qi dynamics, in actuality, most of them were controlled by the man who was standing at the opposite side.
When the rain was in its heaviest moments, Kui Li would receive the opponent’s strongest attack. Of course, this was what she asked for. Originally, the opponent had some request, but she did not bother to attend to it and even initiated the attack.
Until now, their Qi dynamics reached an impasse, all tangled up and unable to be resolved.
As such, none of them was able to retreat, so they would not be able to recover forever.
This result was not predicted by Kui Li, the man opposite of her had never thought of it as well. Please heaven, do pity and protect, he had never wanted to fight against Kui Li.
Jing Shu’s arrival was an unexpected accident, but it was also an opportunity for when both of them confronted one another, there were not many who can reach their sides in close proximity.
The man in white was Ye Liuyun, he had been in contact with Bei Mingzi for a long time, hence once Jing Shu arrived, he had already known her background. However, it was not the time for formalities. In addition, his relationship with Bei Mingzi was not well either.
Therefore, Ye Liuyun did not initiate any conversations, he merely heightened his awareness in secret. He then hoped that he would be lucky enough that Jing Shu would not help either party.
Jing Shu did not do as he wished, she said, “Sister Kui Li, do you still recognize me?”
Kui Li calmly blinked her eyes, those pair of clear eyes easily surpassed any beautiful scenery in the world. Jing Shu really wanted to kiss them. But she, fortunately, managed to restrain her urge.
Jing Shu mentioned, “Let me help you.”
Inevitably, Ye Liuyun started to panic a little, hence he thought of initiating the attack first. Suddenly, the wind and rain that filled the whole sky converged into a river. A river that was the crossover for the dead. Sadly, if Ye Liuyun had ample preparation, there would be another vision, that is, a bridge would be formed out of the Ahbi Throne, that was the Naihe Bridge. He definitely would be on the bridge, not on either side, nor in the middle of the river, and above all, he could be reincarnated and escape death!
Kui Li felt the attack and reacted. Her body radiated the five colored divine lights which waved towards the underworld that charged against her. It was as if a gigantic whale had absorbed water, the underworld was absorbed and contained.
Ye Liuyun let out a suppressed groan, bolted and left helplessly.
Kui Li felt worse, she bent down and started coughing uncontrollably. Blood stains appeared at the corners of her mouth. Droplets of fresh blood fell onto the ground, flowers then grew out promptly. Those were green flowers, there were no leaves.
This plant had a very appealing name, it was called the Feathers of Peacocks.
Jing Shu supported Kui Li as she got up and said angrily, “I will kill him.”
Kui Li furrowed and said, “There is no need for that, he had already shown mercy. If he had not, it would definitely be more than just a few mouths of blood.”
Jing Shu said, “His supernatural powers were indeed mighty, and it was like he had cultivated the Yama deity body. If this was not the case, he would not be so lightly wounded.”
Kui Li nodded and mentioned, “This person is unfathomable. Nonetheless, when I meet him the next time, I would not be as passive anymore.”
Jing Shu smiled and said, “I have learned a new technique of supernatural power, if practiced comprehensively, I would be able to possess great powers, just like how the colossal Xumi Mountain can be comfortably fitted into a small mustard seed. How about imparting this power to you? This power is in fact, very suitable for you.”
Kui Li was slightly surprised, she then mentioned, “Your Kunpeng tribe’s supernatural power- ‘Bei Ming’, this I am not able to learn. In fact, I do not have such a great ambition as you do.”
Jing Shu smiled and said, “Well, it is not ‘Bei Ming’, my supernatural power is called, ‘Having An Ace Up One’s Sleeve’, used to entrap and defeat enemies. It may not be inferior to your five colored divine lights.”
Kui Li lifted her brows and said, “It seems that I no longer have time to learn it from you now.”
As she spoke, Jing Shu also felt an abundant sense of Qi approaching them, and the spiritual vigor between the sky and earth also instantaneously had the notion of repelling both of them.
