Chapter 1201

Soon, twenty days passed in a flash!

The divine spark space remained very calm, Xu Que hadn't come out, and the people outside had already become numb from waiting.

Ji Wu Yun shook his head and ultimately chose to leave first.

Although twenty days were nothing to a cultivator, as a prodigy of the Shadow Floating Pagoda, he still had countless fortunes to pursue and couldn't waste his time here in vain. Moreover, Xu Que had promised him that he would go to the Qisha Immortal Realm to return the Immortal Artifact in the future, so they would definitely meet again then.

Therefore, after waiting for over twenty days, Ji Wu Yun didn't want to wait any longer and led his own faction's people away.

Outside the divine spark space, only Er Gouzi, Duan Jiude, and a few others remained, along with Bai Cailing and the women of Yaochi!

Bai Cailing stayed behind naturally because she still needed Xu Que to revive the Yaochi Peach Garden, and she didn't want any accidents to happen to him. It was just that after waiting for over twenty days without any movement, she was quite worried.

On the contrary, Er Gouzi appeared very leisurely. For the past few days, it had been lying there, either having a barbecue or a hot pot, laughing and giggling heartlessly.

Duan Jiude finally couldn't hold it in anymore and mocked: "Er Gouzi, can you be any more obvious in your schadenfreude?"

"What schadenfreude?" Er Gouzi was stunned, a piece of meat still stuffed in its mouth.

"You still have the face to ask? His life is hanging by a thread in there, the least you could do is show some nervousness!" Duan Jiude said speechlessly, feeling that Er Gouzi was going too far.

Er Gouzi, however, remained completely clueless: "What life hanging by a thread? That guy sent a sound transmission to this deity over ten days ago. Not only is he very safe, but he also has a great fortune. He told us to wait a while longer, and he'll come out after he's done seizing the fortune! What's there to be nervous about?"

Swish!

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's gazes swept toward Er Gouzi in unison.

"Uh, why... why are you all looking at this deity like that? Do you have your eyes on this meat?" Er Gouzi was immediately frightened into a shiver, took the meat out of its mouth, and handed it toward the crowd, asking.

"Damn!"

Duan Jiude was the first to curse out loud: "That guy sent you a message saying he was safe, why didn't you say so earlier? Damn it, you made me, an old man, not dare to eat anything with you for the past few days. Give me that meat!"

"Damn, you guys didn't ask, why should this deity say anything!" Er Gouzi immediately refused to accept it, stuffed the meat back into its mouth, and turned to run.

"Everyone, hurry up and beat it!" Duan Jiude said irritably, rushing up and trying to call others to help.

Although everyone present did indeed want to beat Er Gouzi up, just because this guy hadn't reported the situation in time and had made them worry for nothing for over ten days, they didn't go so far as to actually beat Er Gouzi. But the heart they had been holding up finally settled down.

The people of Yaochi naturally didn't need to say anything; Xu Que's safety meant hope for the revival of the Yaochi Peach Garden.

Liu Jingning breathed a long sigh of relief. She didn't want Xu Que to get himself into trouble to save her. Now that she knew Xu Que was safe, she could finally relax.

During these dozens of days, this ancient battlefield ruin had remained peaceful, but outside the ruin, it had long since become chaotic.

The prodigy Yi Zhong of the Shennong Clan had died, and his body had been taken away by the guardians. Countless cultivators had witnessed this scene and changed color.

Many people thought Yi Zhong had been killed by a restriction in the ruin, but subsequent prodigies who came out revealed a world-shaking piece of news.

Yi Zhong had died at the hands of Xu Que's father!

This left countless cultivators around the ruin dumbfounded. They had all seen an old man follow the women of Yaochi into the ruin. That old man only appeared to have the cultivation of the Half-Immortal Realm and looked sickly, as if he could die at any moment. No one had taken him seriously.

It was only rumored that the Yaochi Saintess Bai Cailing was the daughter-in-law of this old man, which made many people remember him.

But who could have imagined that the dignified prodigy Yi Zhong of the Shennong Clan would die at the hands of that old man? This was simply too incredible and mind-boggling!

A Heavenly Immortal Realm prodigy dying at the hands of a Half-Immortal Realm cultivator?

Everyone felt incomparably confused, but those prodigies who came out later refused to reveal any other clues and left directly.

The outside world felt increasingly confused about the truth of this matter, eventually leading to all sorts of speculations.

Some believed Yi Zhong had been ambushed and that the old man should have already been killed by the guardians of the Shennong Clan.

Others believed Yi Zhong had been besieged and that the old man had delivered the fatal blow.

However, no matter what the speculation was, it always felt unreasonable!

Until today, many people still lingered outside the ruin, wanting to wait for the people of Yaochi to come out so they could know the truth.

As for entering the battlefield ruin? That was non-existent. On one hand, the people from the major factions were no longer leading the way for them, and on the other hand, Yi Zhong's death had sounded an alarm for them. Even the prodigy of the Shennong Clan had died, so how could they dare to go in and throw their lives away!

"Terrifying, truly terrifying. Now only the people from Yaochi and the Shadow Floating Pagoda haven't come out. I wonder what it's like inside!"

"Not just them, that dog and Duan Jiude haven't come out either!"

"If you calculate the time carefully, dozens of days have passed. Could it be that they have already obtained the legacy?"

"That's unlikely, right? If they really had the legacy, why would the people from Dishou Mountain and the Zhou Royal Palace have left early?"

"Eh, wait, look everyone, the people from the Shadow Floating Pagoda are coming out!"

"Damn, they really came out. I recognize that prodigy, it's the famous Ji Wu Yun!"

"Nonsense, since he's famous, who wouldn't recognize him?"

The people outside the battlefield ruin suddenly became restless, and some bold ones moved closer, trying to inquire about the truth of Yi Zhong's death.

However, Ji Wu Yun didn't say much. As soon as he came out, he immediately went to find the Imperial Physician True Immortal elder responsible for leading the Shadow Floating Pagoda team, who had been waiting outside.

"What happened?" Seeing Ji Wu Yun come out, the Imperial Physician True Immortal elder immediately frowned and asked.

After all, Ji Wu Yun had come out over ten days later than the other factions, and he had returned empty-handed.

"Something happened, but it's a good thing for my Shadow Floating Pagoda. We've formed a bond of kindness!" Ji Wu Yun smiled indifferently.

Hearing this, the Imperial Physician True Immortal elder nodded slightly and didn't ask any more questions. He only needed to hear the result; after all, there were many people here, and since Ji Wu Yun hadn't taken the initiative to speak, he couldn't ask. Once they returned to the Qisha Immortal Realm, the specific matters would naturally be known, so there was no rush.

"Prodigy Ji, can you tell us how Yi Zhong was killed?" At this moment, someone shouted loudly, urgently wanting to know the truth.

After all, the old man's identity was somewhat sensitive, as he had come with the people of Yaochi, and Yi Zhong had died at his hands. This could lead to a major war between Yaochi and the Shennong Clan. Once the two major factions started fighting, it would involve two Immortal Realms, and the ones who would suffer in the end would be small factions or loose cultivators like them!

"Knowing too much is not good for you!" Ji Wu Yun shook his head, replied faintly, and then turned to leave.

"But we still want to know, and we just received news yesterday that one of Yi Zhong's older brothers is currently cultivating in the Tianxiang Immortal Realm, not far from here. He already knows about Yi Zhong's death and is currently rushing over, preparing to seek an explanation from Yaochi, and even threatened to kill Xu Que's father's entire family to avenge Yi Zhong!" someone shouted.

Hearing this, Ji Wu Yun paused his steps, shook his head, turned around, and smiled: "Yi Zhong's older brother, you mean that reckless fool Yi Dan? Heh, tell him, if he doesn't value his life, he can go in!"
