The two silhouettes were faint, as if they would disappear with a gust of wind. They shuttled through the dense forest without making a sound. It was very strange.
"Could Xiaoyan be in danger because of these two fellows?"
Lin Xuan's heart skipped a beat as he quietly followed the two silhouettes.
These two silhouettes were the ones sent by Nie Pianer of Withering Wind Palace to carry out the plan. They were called Xue Guang and Chen Lin.
Their plan was actually very simple. They would secretly kidnap Ji Xueyan, who held an important position in the Ji Family. Then, they would bring Ji Xueyan into Demonblood City and throw her to the Blood Demon Tribe. This would incur the Ji Family's wrath and cause chaos in Demonblood City.
"Brother Chen, what should we do? We wanted to move further away before making our move. Who would've thought that another troublemaker would pop up along the way? Although the two of us can easily take care of them, if we cause too much of a ruckus, we will definitely attract the other experts of the Ji Family. Then, even if we capture Ji Xueyan, we might not be able to escape! "
"That's right! We should've acted earlier! Since it's already like this, let's wait and see. Who knows, they might split up later. "
"Alright, we'll listen to you."
Xue Guang and Chen Lin discussed a little and quietly followed into the depths of the valley.
While they were discussing, Lin Xuan had already arrived at the feet of the two of them and heard their conversation clearly.
"These two fellows really do want to harm Xiaoyan. I wonder who they are and why they want to capture Xiaoyan?"
A trace of doubt flashed through Lin Xuan's mind.
He wasn't in a hurry to attack these two fellows. Since they wanted to capture Ji Xueyan alive, they definitely wouldn't let Xi Junyi go.
If he could borrow their hands to get rid of Xi Junyi, it would be a good result.
As for Ji Xueyan, with him secretly watching over her, he definitely wouldn't let her fall into danger.
Thus, the three parties, one in the open and two in the dark, gradually moved deeper into the valley.
Just as Xi Junyi had said, this valley was very large and the terrain was very complicated. There were many demonic beasts and blood demons that would occasionally rush out from dark corners to launch a surprise attack.
However, these Demonic Beasts and Blood Demons were not of high levels. Most of them were at the first or second level. Third level Demonic Beasts were rare.
To Xi Junyi, Ji Xueyan, and Jin Xiaolian, these devils did not cause much trouble for them. They were all easily killed by them, and instead increased their battle record.
Gradually, the path ahead became increasingly difficult to traverse. However, the number of Demon Blood Trees also increased. As far as the eye could see, there were all strange trees with blood-colored sarcomas growing on them. There was no end in sight.
"Wow! There really are a lot of Demonic Blood Trees! That was great! After cutting down this stretch of Demonic Blood Trees, we will definitely be able to accomplish our goal! "
Jin Xiaolian cheered in surprise.
Ji Xueyan was also very happy. She was still more than three hundred thousand away from her goal of killing a million devils. This large stretch of Demon Blood Trees should be enough.
Xi Junyi did not need to cut down trees anymore. He volunteered to stand guard for the two ladies. Ji Xueyan and Jin Xiaolian began to seriously swing their swords. They slashed out streaks of sword qi and cut down the Demon Blood Trees one by one.
The two ladies cut down trees very quickly. In just a short while, they had cut down hundreds and thousands of trees. During this time, they had also killed dozens of blood demons hidden in the forest.
Xi Junyi stood not far behind Ji Xueyan, vigilantly guarding against any danger in the surroundings.
However, every time his gaze swept past Ji Xueyan's graceful figure as she swung her sword, a hint of passion would vaguely flash in his eyes.
Time passed quietly. Two hours passed very quickly.
Ji Xueyan and Jin Xiaolian had already put some distance between them. Xi Junyi hesitated for a moment before taking large strides towards Ji Xueyan.
"Xue Yan, you've been busy for so long. You should be tired. Rest for a while," Xi Junyi said.
"Big Brother Xi, I'm not tired yet. Although these trees are different from ordinary trees, it's not difficult to kill them," Ji Xueyan said.
"Xue Yan, you don't have to be so anxious. The Demon Blood Trees can't run away. Stop and rest for a while. I have something to say to you," Xi Junyi said with a smile.
Ji Xueyan stopped what she was doing. She used the back of her hand to wipe the sweat on her cheeks. She looked at Xi Junyi in confusion and asked, "Big Brother Xi, what do you want to say?"
Xi Junyi took a few steps forward and stopped three meters away from Ji Xueyan. He looked at Ji Xueyan with a warm gaze and said with a smile full of affection, "Xue Yan, there are some words that have been buried in my heart for many years. It's just that I haven't had the courage to say them.
Now that I'm in the Human Emperor Mystic Realm, the road ahead is unknown. Life and death are unpredictable. If I don't say these words now, I may never have the chance. "
"Big Brother Xi, you …" Ji Xueyan frowned. A trace of doubt flashed across her face.
"Xue Yan, let me finish."
Xi Junyi interrupted Ji Xueyan. He gathered his emotions and continued, "Do you still remember? When I was nine years old in school, when I was bullied by Ji Tianfeng, you were the only one who stood out to stop Ji Tianfeng.
That year, we were both only seven years old.
At that moment, I really thought I was going to die. Until now, I still remember your expression and words clearly. I even remember the color of your dress clearly.
Perhaps, it was also from that moment onwards that you left an unerasable shadow in my heart.
After that, as we grew older, your position in my heart became more and more important.
A smile from you could make me happy for an entire day. A frown from you would make my heart ache so much that I would want to kill anyone who made you unhappy.
All these years, we've been apart more than we've been together, but my feelings for you have never decreased in the slightest. Instead, they seem to have been fermented countless times, becoming even stronger and more mellow, causing me to be able to dream of your voice and smile every time I sleep. "
Hearing Xi Junyi's confession, Ji Xueyan was at a loss. For a moment, she didn't know how to react. She wanted to say something, but she was afraid of hurting Xi Junyi's pride.
Xi Junyi turned to look at the mountain in the distance. He said self-mockingly, "Xue Yan, do you know? When you were in the Northern Wilderness, there were rumors that you were very close to Lin Xuan. At that time, I was drunk for ten days and ten nights and almost went crazy.
I don't deny that Lin Xuan is indeed very outstanding.
However, I believe that I'm more suitable for you than he is.
Lin Xuan has many women and is always full of love. However, I only have you in my heart from the beginning to the end.
In order to achieve his ambition, Lin Xuan doesn't differentiate between good and evil. He doesn't distinguish between right and wrong. He will do anything to achieve his goal. Now, he has enemies everywhere. At the end of the day, he is a fugitive. This kind of person doesn't even care about his own life. Why would he care about the women around him?
As for me, for you, I can give up everything … "
"Big Brother Xi, don't say anymore."
Ji Xueyan looked troubled. Although she didn't want to hurt Xi Junyi's pride, she had no choice but to explain in order to prevent Xi Junyi from misunderstanding. "Big Brother Xi, I know that you have always been good to me. However, in my heart, I have always treated you as my big brother. I have never thought of anything else.
Feelings can't be forced. I only have Lin Xuan in my heart and will only have Lin Xuan. There is no room for anyone else … "
Xi Junyi's face revealed a trace of anger. He took another step forward, as if he wanted to hold Ji Xueyan's slender hand. He said emotionally, "Xue Yan, why can't you give me a chance? Try to let go of Lin Xuan and accept me. I am your best choice!
Lin Xuan is only alive today because of his good luck. However, his luck will run out one day … "
Ji Xueyan hurriedly took a step back, causing Xi Junyi to grab onto empty air. She shook her head and said, "Big Brother Xi, don't say anymore. It's impossible between us …"
Behind a tree not far away, Lin Xuan heard the conversation between the two. Hearing Xi Junyi continuously slandering him, he was very angry. Fortunately, Ji Xueyan's performance satisfied him.
