Chapter 1441: Prelude to the Ancient Battleground (3)
The Blue Phoenix Sacred Sect.
A group of maidens were discussing about Ji Yuan and they looked dispirited when they were talking about him.
The most dispirited of the maidens were Ling Feiyue, Xue Qianxue, Shangguan Yan, Fairy Ye Chenxi, Feng Minyue, Ruan Songci, the Sword Saintess Jian Yuluo (Yuxian), Shui Qingqing and Fairy Qiu Xiuyu.
Although Ling Feiyue was usually a chatterbox but today, she was feeling greatly dispirited because Ji Yuan had literally disappeared for more than 2 years.
Shui Xisi sighed softly as she tried to comfort the maidens, "That Ji Yuan is like a cockroach. He won’t die so easily or else he won’t be called Ji Yuan the cockroach!"
Yun Chi who was listening quietly on the side began to growl softly, "How come I didn’t know that he has such a nickname?"
Shui Xisi chuckled softly, "It is a new nickname, that’s why."
The Demoness Empress An Xuanji who had recently joined these maidens from the Nine Abyssal Realms murmured with great gentleness, "Ji Yuan, he will be alright, am I right?"
She was greatly concerned about Ji Yuan.
Shui Xisi purposely displayed a nonchalant look to the other maidens, "Well, you are all Ji Yuan’s maiden and I’m not. I am more interested to know if the others are alright in the Endless Celestial Fraternity. After all, they are my sisters and they are more important than this Ji Yuan."
When she had said that, all the maidens were all smiling with great awkwardness; it was because Shui Xisi was caught with Ji Yuan on too many occasions that she had become infamous by now.
Although Shui Xisi had always said that she had nothing to do with Ji Yuan but all the other maidens know that this was not true.
Only Shui Qingqing was still as innocent as ever and she believed that her protégé mistress Shui Xisi had nothing to do with Ji Yuan.
Yun Chi smiled wryly, "Don’t worry. Ji Yuan and the other maidens are alright."
Ling Feiyue was sighing, "This is hard to say. The others have been away for almost 2 years now. Even though they have a profound ship but it will still take years for them to be back even if they manage to reach the Endless Celestial Fraternity now.
But Yun Chi continued to smile casually and she did not say a word more; the reason why she knows that Ji Yuan and the other maidens are alright is because her sister Ding Xiaoxiao had already sent her a message that they are all coming back soon. Also she has found Ji Yuan too in the Endless Celestial Fraternity too.
Suddenly, there was a flash of light that had enveloped the vicinity and silhouettes of a group of cultivators could be seen.
The many sharp eyes of the many maidens were gasping with shock and they were soon filled with joyous chattering; it was because in front of them was Ji Yuan and all the other maidens!
Ji Yuan laughed as he walked in front to greet all the other maidens, "Hahaha, do you all miss me? I am back!"
At the same time, his quick eye was looking around with his powerful divine sense to check if there was by any chance his Qianfeng and the Philosopher Goddess were both around in the vicinity of the Blue Phoenix Sacred Sect.
However, they were both not around but Ji Yuan was not surprised. It was because he knows that his Qianfeng has an restriction that prevents her from entering the Celestial Realm for a long time.
As for the Philosopher Goddess, he was sure that he was sure that he may be able to see her once again in the Ancient Battleground of the Fallen Gods.
Destiny chuckled playfully from behind Ji Yuan to the other maidens, "It is a lucky thing that I happen to be there to save his ass or today, you won’t see Ji Yuan ever again."
Many of the maidens presented were surprised to see the Goddess Destiny with Ji Yuan’s group as Destiny was supposed to be with them.
The Goddess Destiny had teleported instantaneously to Ji Yuan from the Blue Phoenix Sacred Sect and did not inform the others. Therefore none of the maidens except for Yun Chi knows that Destiny is in Ji Yuan’s group.
Yun Chi knows about it because her sister Ding Xiaoxiao had already told her earlier via their immortal communications.
Ji Yuan grinned, "Actually that is not true at all. I’ve still one last trump card."
When the maidens had heard Ji Yuan, many of them were laughing jovially because they know that Ji Yuan valued his face greatly.
But before Ji Yuan could actually explain his trump card, he was immediately surrounded by the Sword Saintess Yuxian, Fairy Ye Chenxi, Feng Minyue, Xue Qianxue and Ling Feiyue who did not mind what the others were thinking about their public image, and they were all embracing Ji Yuan with great emotions of joy.
Ji Yuan sighed softly as he hugged them one by one, "My Yuxian, Chenxi, Yan’Er, Qianxue and Feiyue, ... don’t cry. I am back now."
These five maidens had all known Ji Yuan for a very long time and they were closer to him than the other maidens.
Many of the other maidens were hesitating and they wished that they had the courage to embrace him like the five maidens, especially Shui Qingqing and Fairy Qiu Xiuyu.
Ji Yuan chuckled jovially a he gathered the five maidens in his strong embrace, "You know. I still have one last trump card and let me tell you my epic story from the very beginning..."
When he had said that he would be sharing his epic stories, many of the maidens had a miserable look on their countenances and they were all looking to the other maidens who were with Ji Yuan to better relate Ji Yuan’s adventures; It is because Ji Yuan is infamously renowned for being extremely long-winded and never to the point. Also, his version of the same story is never the same.
Ji Yuan laughed jovially when he had such a good opportunity to talk but he had to correct Destiny first, "You know. Actually even without Destiny, I still have one more last trump card to use against the immortal enemy that I was fighting..."
Destiny interrupted him, "Shameless! You are literally trembling and is looking at Ding Xiaoxiao to save your sorry state."
Ji Yuan muttered weakly to himself: I just need a little more time to use my sapped profound strength. As long as I can exercise my profound strength faster than Maiden Ding Xiaoxiao, I can prevent her from releasing her profound strength to the 9th cultivation realm and I can still save the day.
Actually Ji Yuan was not lying or twisting the fact about his last trump card; it is because his last trump card is the Sword Dao of Melancholy which can transform his body and profound aura into golden in color. As long as he can use his Sword Dao of Melancholy, he is very sure that he can kill the Heaven Destiny Old Man.
At that time, he was already exercising his profound strength secretly and he was sure that he would be able to use his Sword Dao of Melancholy which he had created with the Greater Dao and Lesser Dao of the Heavens in the nick of time and then he would touch the soft heart of Ding Xiaoxiao.
But before he could even display his heroics, Destiny had appeared and killed the Heaven Destiny Old Man.
