Qin Yi, on the other hand, was secretly feeling lucky. His tracking method was very covert and he didn't follow too closely. Otherwise, he would have been discovered by Xia Ji long ago.
"It's been two years, but this girl's cultivation hasn't slowed down at all. She's still as sharp as ever. I would've been discovered if I was a little careless. "
Qin Yi realized that while he had made rapid progress in the past two years, Xia Ji's cultivation hadn't fallen behind even though she was the Saintess of the Green Lotus Cult.
Even if she hadn't improved as much as him, she still shouldn't be underestimated.
… …
Xia Ji glided through the streets with a dreamy movement technique. With a few leaps and bounds, she landed near a manor. Her swaying silhouette felt like a dream from afar.
Not long after, Xia Ji arrived at the entrance of the manor.
A group of cultivators had already arrived at the entrance and bowed respectfully to Xia Ji.
There was a plaque hanging on the manor that clearly read: Jade Garden.
"Saintess, most of the guests have checked in. Apart from the people of the Shura Sect, the other four factions have arrived. "
Xia Ji nodded and floated into the manor as if she had already known about it.
After entering the manor, Xia Ji felt as if she had lived here for a few decades. Her steps were light and familiar, and she soon arrived at a spacious and quiet guesthouse.
Xia Ji stood at the entrance and listened carefully for a moment. Suddenly, she kicked the door down and scolded coldly, "Ji Gengxie, get out here."
Although Xia Ji was usually gentle and refined, when she was angry, she had a wild nature that made people feel uncomfortable.
The door wasn't sturdy, and was smashed to pieces by the kick. It flew more than ten meters away and smashed into the ground. Sounds of chaos could be heard from inside.
Then, a few cultivators rushed out from inside while shouting loudly.
These people were all tall and burly. Their faces were painted with all kinds of strange patterns, and they were wearing strange accessories and clothes. They were clearly different from human cultivators.
These people had a different temperament, which was ferocious, unusually ferocious.
Even if they weren't angry, their appearances were extremely ferocious.
Now that they had rushed out in anger, they looked even more ferocious.
However, when they saw that it was Xia Ji, their expressions immediately turned strange. They exchanged glances with one another, not knowing what to do.
Obviously, they recognized who the newcomer was.
Xia Ji didn't even spare a glance at these fiendish fellows. She stared coldly at the door and shouted, "Ji Gengxie, don't tell this Saintess that you're a coward."
Suddenly, a burst of unbridled laughter came from inside.
"Little Sister Xia Ji, your words hurt my feelings. Am I that unbearable in your heart? I've always admired you, Holy Maiden Xia Ji. "
However, Xia Ji's face was full of disdain. "Cut the crap! Let me ask you, if you want to be a guest, then come. Why is it that after entering the capital, you still have to commit such atrocities and indiscriminately slaughter the innocent? "
It was obvious that Xia Ji was certain that Ji Gengxie was the murderer.
She had thought that Ji Gengxie would deny it. Who would have thought that this guy would just laugh and walk out with big strides.
He stared at Xia Ji with a pair of mischievous eyes, full of frivolity and mockery. He looked like a complete scoundrel.
Ji Gengxie's attire was immaculately dressed, which was completely different from his barbaric subordinates' style. One could even say that Ji Gengxie's facial features were well-defined, and his body was well-proportioned. It was hard to pick out any faults from its appearance.
If one had to pick a flaw, it would be that his eyes were too frivolous and evil. It was hard to have a good impression of him.
"If you keep staring at me like that, I'll dig them out and feed them to the dogs!" Xia Ji's tone was full of disgust.
Ji Gengxie slapped his forehead and pretended to be pitiful. "Sigh, my heart is towards the moon, but the moon shines in the ditch. Little Sister Xia Ji, can't you speak nicely to me? I'm a guest from afar, after all. Have you ever seen such hospitality? "
Ji Gengxie pointed at the broken door behind him, an innocent look on his face.
Xia Ji naturally knew that he was putting on an act. "Now you know that you're a guest?" she said coldly. "If you're a guest, why are you so deranged as to kill for no reason?"
Ji Gengxie shrugged innocently. "Sister, are you talking about those stupid wandering cultivators from Yuluo? They're a bunch of stinky mules. So what if they're killed? They're not from your Green Lotus Sect. Since when did our Holy Maiden Xia Ji care about the lives of those stinky mules from the Yan Luo Region? "
This fellow was extremely thick-skinned. He didn't deny it at all, but instead spoke with conviction. Xia Ji was rendered speechless by his words.
That's right, all the factions in the Forsaken Land of the Gods were allies. The Yan Luo Region was everyone's common enemy. Killing a few Yan Luo cultivators wasn't a big deal at all.
However, Xia Ji wasn't so easily fooled. "Yuluo is under the Green Lotus Sect's control now," she shouted. "We have the final say in killing. Since when was it your Evil Spirit Valley's turn to strut around here? Doesn't your Evil Spirit Valley occupy Chi Luo? If you're so capable, you can slaughter the entire Chi Luo Region. That's your business, I won't interfere. But now that we're in Jade Luo Country, it's our territory. Even if you're a dragon, you'll have to bow down to me! "
Ji Gengxie raised his hands. "Fine, fine, fine. Who told me to like you? If you say no, then no. At most, I'll kill a few less in the future. "
This fellow spoke in a lazy tone, and it seemed like he was admitting his mistake. But his tone was very annoying. How was he apologetic at all?
Xia Ji knew that this person was a scoundrel. If she let him fool her like this, he'd definitely take advantage of the situation later. Then, she'd come so aggressively to denounce him, but it would be a wasted trip.
She said coldly, "You've offended me by killing indiscriminately in my territory. I have to teach you a lesson. "
As she spoke, she raised her arm and flicked her finger. A strong wind whipped up, aiming for Ji Gengxie's face.
Ji Gengxie's subordinates howled and rushed forward to protect her.
Ji Gengxie waved his sleeve and intercepted Xia Ji's attack. "Back off, all of you. Little Sister Xia Ji wants to spar with me. You pieces of trash aren't qualified to interfere. "
Then, he grinned at Xia Ji. "Good sister, I'd like to experience the skills of your Green Lotus Sect. Since ancient times, beating is a sign of affection, and scolding is a sign of love. Who knows, if we can achieve anything in the future, it'll be through this fight. "
