Chapter 259: Leaving the Air Pavilion

Within an endless mountain range.

Atop a tall mountain peak, an ancient Air Pavilion floated silently in the air.

Nine figures stood beneath the Air Pavilion.

The nine people were divided into three parties, standing in a tripod-like formation, wary of one another.

One of the parties consisted of six people.

The person in the lead was a youth with delicate, feminine features, followed by five figures behind him.

Opposite the six people was a woman wearing a mask.

The woman wore a silver robe, embroidered with patterns of the sun, moon, and stars.

Her body seemed to be shrouded in an ethereal aura at all times, giving her an unreal appearance.

In the final position were a man and a woman.

The man was handsome and elegant, with a gentle expression and a faint smile always on his face, giving off a sense of carefree ease.

The woman was of peerless beauty, like a fairy descended to the world, with an otherworldly temperament that drew the gaze of Ji Ruan not far away.

However, seemingly wary of the pair, he did not attack directly as he had when facing the four women including Mu Lingxi.

Hum~

At a certain moment.

The Air Pavilion suddenly emitted an imperceptible ripple.

Creak~

Following a harsh sound, the gates of the Air Pavilion slowly opened.

Four figures flashed out, appearing outside the Air Pavilion.

Immediately after, the gates slammed shut with a bang.

The entire Air Pavilion flashed with light and vanished.

Upon being teleported out, the four seemed somewhat dazed.

Immediately after, when the four realized they had left the Air Pavilion, their expressions all changed.

"Oh no, the opening time for this Air Pavilion is limited."

"We were forcibly teleported out."

Mu Lingxi's expression turned grave.

Upon hearing this, Wang Yu Yao, Su Yutong, and Xing Li felt their hearts sink.

Swish swish swish~

Just then, a series of sounds of things piercing through the air arrived.

Nine figures appeared around them almost simultaneously, surrounding them.

"Hahaha, after waiting for so long, you have finally come out."

Ji Ruan stared at the four women's beautiful figures, greed flashing in his eyes, "Hand over everything you gained in the Air Pavilion, and this young master can let bygones be bygones, spare your lives, and let you follow by my side."

"Mu Lingxi, Su Yutong, Wang Yu Yao, and Xing Li, so it was you!"

At the same time.

Among the man and woman, the man who had always appeared very carefree was now staring fixedly at the four, a chill spreading from his body; his expression, which had been light and breezy, had turned gloomy.

After arriving here, he had only heard that the Air Pavilion had been reached first by four women.

He had not expected that these four women were actually acquaintances!

"Daoist Friend Ye, do you know these four?"

Beside the man, the woman with the cold temperament showed surprise after hearing his gloomy tone.

When she first met Ye Lingyun, Ye Lingyun was undergoing his Nascent Soul Tribulation.

The powerful combat strength and bearing he displayed during his Tribulation Transcendence had deeply attracted her.

Afterward, she became acquainted with Ye Lingyun and they acted together.

Throughout their contact during this time, Ye Lingyun had always maintained a carefree and magnanimous demeanor.

When had he ever revealed such a ruthless and vicious expression?

"Know them? Of course I know them!"

Ye Lingyun sneered. As he spoke, his gaze never left the four women, his voice icy and bone-chilling, as if it would freeze the air into ice.

It's him!

Ye Lingyun!

He actually appeared here too!

Seeing Ye Lingyun, the expressions of Mu Lingxi and the others tightened simultaneously.

"Be careful, he has successfully formed his Nascent Soul and reached the Nascent Soul Early Stage."

Mu Lingxi touched a Jade Pendant at her waist without changing her expression and sent a voice transmission to the three beside her.

Hearing Mu Lingxi's transmission, the expressions of Wang Yu Yao and the others changed, and their vigilance instantly soared to the maximum.

"Mu Lingxi, Su Yutong, Wang Yu Yao, and Xing Li..."

Ye Lingyun's gaze swept over the four one by one, killing intent surging on his body, "You aided the tyrant and helped that bastard Wang Jianqiang deal with me."

"Making me suffer endless pain and humiliation."

"Today, I will definitely make you pay the price."

As he spoke, he took a step forward, about to strike.

Yet, the moment he took his step, two hostile auras suddenly surged over, locking onto him firmly.

His expression tightened as he looked at Ji Ruan and the Great Star Envoy, "Do you two wish to stop me?"

"This Daoist Friend, you certainly have a clever plan; they four likely possess opportunities obtained from the Floating Pavilion, and you want to take them away with just a few words? Do you take me, Ji Ruan, for a fool?" Ji Ruan looked at Ye Lingyun and sneered.

"Their four lives are mine." The Great Star Envoy's gaze was cold, and an ethereal voice emanated from beneath the mask.

Hearing the two speak, Ye Lingyun frowned.

"So we are quite in demand."

Just then, a giggling voice suddenly arrived.

Ji Ruan, Ye Lingyun, the masked woman, and the others all looked at Mu Lingxi simultaneously, their brows furrowed tightly.

Facing the gazes of the crowd, the playful expression on Mu Lingxi's face did not diminish in the slightest, "Since you cannot make a decision, why not decide based on strength?"

"You all have a fight right here; whoever wins gets the four of us?"

"Hmph, Mu Lingxi, do you take us for fools?" Ye Lingyun snorted coldly.

Mu Lingxi pursed her lips and nodded with a serious expression, "I don't know about others, but I know you are."

"You~"

Ye Lingyun was furious, and killing intent surged from his body.

The auras Ji Ruan and the masked woman had locked onto him instantly became intense.

Ye Lingyun's aura faltered, and he forced himself to calm down.

His eyes flickered as he looked at Ji Ruan and the masked woman, "Ye does not want the treasures from the Floating Pavilion, and Ye can also refrain from taking these four lives personally, but they must die here today, before Ye's eyes."

Having said that, his figure flickered, and he returned to the ground.

Seeing Ye Lingyun retreat, the refined woman with him said indifferently, "I will give Daoist Friend Ye some face; I do not want the things from the Floating Pavilion either..."

"However, I hope the matter here concludes as soon as possible."

After speaking, she glanced at Mu Lingxi and the others, her figure flickered, and she appeared beside Ye Lingyun.

Mu Lingxi squinted at the refined woman and said with a chuckle to Wang Yu Yao and the others, "This little vixen has such a perky butt; Senior Brother would definitely like her if he saw her."

The refined woman's expression stiffened, and her gaze instantly turned icy, "Shameless demoness, are you courting death?"

"Yes, I am courting death; if you have the ability, come over and kill me." Mu Lingxi looked at her with a grin, "If you can't kill me today, I will definitely strip you bare and tie you up in front of Senior Brother in the future, so you can never be cold again."

Hearing Mu Lingxi's words, the refined woman's gaze grew even colder.

However, thinking that this was merely Mu Lingxi's venting in a desperate situation, she quickly calmed down again.

A dead person destined to fall was not worth getting angry over.

Although she did not take it to heart, Ye Lingyun did.

The matter of Su Yutong and Yun Xin had already left a shadow in his heart.

After hearing Mu Lingxi's words, he became subconsciously vigilant.

Taking a deep breath, he looked at Ji Ruan and the masked woman, "The two of you, Ye has already made concessions, I hope the two of you will make a decision immediately."

"Ye does not wish to continue seeing these four people anymore."
