Chapter 296 Reunion

The enormous booming sound caught the attention of Queniao Lou and everyone around, who looked up to see three figures rising into the sky with ice pillars, only to suddenly stop, suspended in mid-air.

"What's going on?!"

"Holy crap! Was that the Queniao Lou's Weary Bird Array? It shattered in an instant?"

"My god, what on earth happened? Who are those guys?!"

The people below were in chaos, but Qi-Ba-Jiu-daren stood on an ice pillar, frowning and looking into the distance.

"Qi-Ba-Jiu-daren, what's wrong? We should hurry back to the Jibing Sect to figure out a plan. After making such a big scene, the Liehuo Sect will definitely take action!" Ni Dongmei said anxiously.

"...Quiet. It's faster than I expected. A very strong guy is here."

Following Qi-Ba-Jiu-daren's gaze, Fang Yue noticed two dark figures rapidly approaching.

When Fang Yue squinted and recognized one of them, he was immediately stunned.

"Tian... Ruichi??"

When the two figures stopped in front of them, one of them was indeed Tian Ruichi, who was supposed to be missing and captured by Queniao Lou.

But Tian Ruichi himself didn't seem to realize this, and didn't even seem to know that he had been captured by Queniao Lou.

When he saw Fang Yue, he was equally surprised, as if he hadn't expected Fang Yue to be here at all.

"Brother Ye, why are you here?"

"I came to save you, but I didn't expect you to be here blocking me like nothing happened instead of being at the auction below!"

Coming back to his senses, Fang Yue's face turned gloomy. If Tian Ruichi was fine, it meant there was something wrong with his source of information!

The Seventh Prince and his steward... weren't telling him the truth!

"The auction below?"

Seeing that Fang Yue didn't seem to be lying, Tian Ruichi was stunned.

The auction below was the Blackbird Auction! It's all forbidden goods, how could I be there...

Tian Ruichi suddenly paused, as if he had understood something, and stared blankly at the tall man beside him.

After he went out to find Jing Yan and Qing Chen, he suddenly received a message from the steward at the fourth clinic, saying that he had found the two and brought them back to the mansion, and that his master was looking for him and wanted him to return to the Tianjian Sect.

Since the people were fine and had already been found, he asked the guest steward and Fang Yue to pass on a message to explain the situation, and then he returned to his sect.

He didn't know what happened after that.

But judging from the current situation, things weren't as simple as he thought.

"Master, what exactly is..."

"Don't ask what you shouldn't."

Tian Ruichi fell silent, clenched his fists, lowered his head, and said nothing more.

And the man beside him was none other than... the Tianjian Sect Leader, [Tianjian] Jian Wufeng!

Although they were both standing on flying swords, suspended in mid-air.

But Tian Ruichi's flying sword was controlled by Tianjian Jian Wufeng, not because Tian Ruichi had such strength.

"I originally thought that the Yu-level powerhouse guarding Queniao Lou was absent year-round because he didn't want to be constrained. Now I understand that the Yu-level powerhouse guarding Queniao Lou is too ashamed to show his face! I never thought that Tianjian Jian Wufeng would actually be Queniao Lou's dog!"

Although Ni Dongmei's strength was mediocre, she spoke very harshly.

"Impudent!"

[Tianjian] Jian Wufeng's eyes turned cold, and an invisible sword qi appeared out of nowhere, but in the next moment, the sword qi froze! Everything in front of him was covered with a hazy layer - he was frozen in a huge block of ice.

The biting coldness penetrated deep into his internal organs, and even his internal energy seemed to be completely frozen and unable to circulate.

His pupils shrank, and [Tianjian] Jian Wufeng was stunned on the spot.

How many years… how many years!

This terrifying oppressive force at the juncture of life and death, this suffocating sense of crisis!

Who exactly is this woman?!

Sword qi burst out from his body frantically.

The ice block cracked and shattered, turning into a shower of ice shards.

But Fang Yue and the others were already gone.

The ice block just now didn't just freeze his internal energy, it seemed to freeze his five senses in that instant!

He thought the three of them were still in front of him, but it was actually just a lingering afterimage from his five senses!

"What terrifying frost power! What a terrifying woman!"

A feeling of excitement surged into his heart.

He had heard of Qi-Ba-Jiu, and knew that a Supreme Sect Leader had suddenly emerged from the Jibing Sect.

But he didn't expect that woman to be so strong! So strong that even I... am faintly afraid!

"Master! Master, are you okay!"

Tian Ruichi next to him didn't seem to be affected and anxiously asked about his condition.

"This master is fine. Tell me, which direction did they leave in?"

Tian Ruichi hesitated for a moment and pointed north.

But [Tianjian] Jian Wufeng seemed to see through Tian Ruichi and directly chased after them in the opposite direction!

"It's south, right? You go back to the Tianjian Sect first, I'll be right back."

Tian Ruichi was stunned and shouted repeatedly, "Master! Master! Not that way! Why don't you believe me... Don't hurt Brother Ye! He is kind to me! Master!"

But no matter how he shouted, Tianjian didn't respond and soon disappeared into the wilderness.

And the flying sword under Tian Ruichi's feet also began to lose Tianjian's control and lost its balance due to the distance, falling towards the ground.

"Did Jing Yan and Qing Chen really return to the Seventh Prince's mansion? Why does Brother Ye think I would be at the Blackbird Auction? He seems to think I became an auction item, what exactly is going on... No, I have to meet the Seventh Prince and clarify things!"

……

The huge ice pillar fell to the ground.

Fang Yue anxiously held Qi-Ba-Jiu-daren, who was limp, with her eyes closed, as if she had suddenly lost her strength and fainted.

"Qi-Ba-Jiu-daren! Qi-Ba-Jiu-daren!"

"...Brother Ye, it's Tail."

A weak voice slowly sounded, Tail opened her eyes and smiled at Fang Yue.

"We finally meet again, Brother Ye. It's a pity I still dragged you into this..."

Tail's eyes were very clear, not as special as Qi-Ba-Jiu-daren's, so she was easy to recognize.

Seeing that Tail was okay, Fang Yue breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's good that you're okay. No need to be so polite with me. Since you don't say anything, if I ever find out that you're in trouble, I won't stand idly by, and I'll still get involved sooner or later."

"Brother Ye..."

Tail felt a little touched and was about to say something when she heard a loud bang, accompanied by a tremor. The huge ice block fell to the ground, smashing the surrounding trees and creating a large pit.

But she was gently picked up by Fang Yue, who jumped away from the danger and landed steadily.

Ni Dongmei next to her was also the same.

"Tail, are you okay!" As soon as they landed, Ni Dongmei asked anxiously.
