After rebirth, the eldest sister voluntarily abdicated and gave way to the wise.

Chapter 378 1 and a half

Jiang Li frowned at him and didn't answer.

Meng Jiuan pursed his lips, wanting to get closer to her, but when he looked into her eyes and thought of the tragic scene he had seen in his heart, he couldn't take a step forward.

After two moments of silence, he said, "Jiang... Senior Sister Jiang, don't worry. Senior Brother Xu is very strong. He..." He paused, "I saw him here before, but he didn't seem to be in the same space as us. He disappeared in the blink of an eye."

"What?" Jiang Liqian's expression changed, and she quickly walked up to him. "You saw him? Where?"

Meng Jiuan lowered his head and said weakly, "It was at the archway where we met. The figure disappeared in a flash. I have fought with Senior Brother Xu before, so I shouldn't be mistaken."

Where's the arch?

Jiang Liqian was very sure that there was no one else there except them.

It seems that this place is really weird. Even if we meet face to face, we may not be able to see each other, and we may not even be in the same place.

"Let's go a little further in, maybe we can meet him again." Zhong Nanchu said.

He had been with Meng Jiuan the whole time, so he didn't see it. It seemed that the shadow passed by really quickly.

Jiang Liqian nodded and walked towards another courtyard in front without saying a word.

The mansion was truly enormous; they walked for nearly an hour, yet it seemed they still hadn't reached the center. Along the way, there were rockeries, small bridges, garden pavilions, and everything in between, each one incredibly magnificent.

If it weren't for the fact that this place has become so desolate.

There is a pavilion every five steps and a corridor every ten steps. Even the lanterns hanging on the corners of the pavilions still retain a hint of rouge color, and are painted with gold and flowers, which is so exquisite.

When they passed through who knows how many courtyards, they met Senior Sister Xinlan and Jiang Huaizhou who walked into the courtyard from another path.

Jiang Huaizhou had a cold face. Even in front of a gentle and beautiful beauty like Senior Sister Xinlan, he still had no expression. However, when Senior Sister Xinlan spoke to him with a smile, he would respond politely.

When he unexpectedly ran into Jiang Liqian and her group, his expression was first surprised, and then he stared at Jiang Liqian.

He strode over, passing everyone, and called her, "Big Sister."

Everyone else was stunned, but when they thought about how the Sect Leader had always wanted to take Jiang Liqian under his wing, they felt that the title was nothing special.

In short, the people of Jianfeng seem to have an inexplicable stubbornness that cannot be corrected even if they try to correct it.

Jiang Liqian, however, hates this name the most.

Extremely annoying.

His words immediately caused Jiang Liqian's emotions, which had just calmed down, to surge again.

She controlled her expression and reminded him with a forced smile, "Don't call me Senior Sister. I don't deserve it." Then she turned to ask Senior Sister Xinlan, "Senior Sister, did you see my Junior Brother and Gu An'an along the way?"

Xinlan shook her head: "No, we didn't see anyone except you."

There was no choice but for them to continue walking inside.

This time, they didn't walk long before they saw Jiang Junze in a garden that was more than a hundred times larger than the other courtyards. He had a tense expression on his face and was staring at a huge and magnificent stage in the center of the lake not far away.

He stood on the shore, Lingxu Sword tightly clenched in his hand, his expression solemn. His long robe fluttered like a sword ready to be unsheathed at any moment.

As Jiang Liqian and the others took their first step into the garden, he glanced at them coldly with murderous intent.

After seeing that the person in front was Jiang Liqian, his eyes relaxed, but he immediately frowned again and walked towards them quickly.

"Why are you here?"

As if he felt that asking this was pointless, he grabbed Jiang Liqian's wrist and pulled her out of the garden. His force was so great that Jiang Liqian didn't react for a moment and staggered several steps.

"Senior Brother Jiang, what are you doing?!" Although Jiang Liqian was determined to cut off everything from her previous life, it didn't mean that she had no temper and could let others manipulate her!

Pulling her hand back forcefully, she threw out a lightning spell, forcing him ten steps away.

The ferocious lightning flashed in the air for a long time before gradually dissipating.

Jiang Junze clenched his left hand, which was numb and had temporarily lost consciousness. He looked at Jiang Liqian with complicated eyes. Seeing her alert expression, he sighed: "Little sister, please don't make trouble with me for now. It's very dangerous here. You go out with them first, leave this mansion, and I and..."

He turned to look at Xinlan, then looked back at Jiang Liqian: "Sister Xinlan, please stay here. Once we have resolved the danger here, you can leave this undead city at will."

Dead City?!

Jiang Liqian was shocked.

She remembered that the Secret Scroll of Mountains and Seas seemed to have a city specifically for the souls of the dead to reincarnate and rest. However, later the city was filled with too much evil energy, so it was sealed in the Secret Scroll of Mountains and Seas by the ancestor, and it has not appeared in front of living people for many years.

And if she remembered correctly, according to the legend, living people cannot stay in the City of the Dead for even an hour, otherwise their vitality will be gradually drained away and they will become one of the thousands of undead here.

How long... have they been staying in this city of the dead?

An hour?

Two hours?

Or three hours?

Jiang Liqian turned her head to look at Xin Sui and the others. There was a deep and light blue-gray color in the corners of everyone's eyes, especially Zhong Nanchu and Meng Jiuan. They had the weakest cultivation and the blue-gray in the corners of their eyes was the darkest.

Looking at Senior Sister Xinlan and Jiang Junze again, although the color in the corners of their eyes is very light, it is not absent.

She was so anxious to find Xu Youan and Gu Anan that she didn't notice any of this at all.

What about herself?

What the hell is going on now?

"You're fine." Jiang Junze interrupted Jiang Liqian's attempt to transform into a water mirror. "You have a lightning spirit root, which naturally restrains the evil spirit energy. But even so, you can only last a little longer in the Dead City than others."

Jiang Liqian remained silent.

She didn't know what to do now.

Go out? Leave this mansion and leave everything to Senior Sister Xinlan and Jiang Junze, who have the highest cultivation level here?

What about Xu Youan and Gu Anan?

Xu Youan must be in here.

And even if they all left, what would happen? As long as they were in the Dead City, their vitality would be sucked away wherever they were.

Thinking of this, she shook her head firmly at Jiang Junze: "I want to stay, maybe I can help together, and I also need to find my junior brothers..."

Jiang Junze disagreed.

"I know where they are."

He grabbed her wrist again and pulled her to the spot where he had just been overlooking the water. He raised his hand and pointed to the other side of the stage, the other side of the shimmering lake: "They are over there. Everyone else is on the other side except you."

Upon hearing this, Xin Sui and the others all gathered around.

"There are fourteen of us in our group, half are there, half are here. Little sister, there's definitely something wrong."
