Monk Fengxi?

When did this guy pull a trick?

Xin Lin was overjoyed upon realizing it was Feng Xi.

She was worried that Feng Xi might have perished on the Yin Yang Road because of her, which would have been a grave sin.

Although she never claimed to be a good person.

She didn’t like to implicate the innocent, especially since Feng Xi was a good person.

But... Feng Xi was fine, then what about Shi Fei...

Xin Lin quickly turned her head.

Looking back at the Yin Yang Road behind her, she realized it had, at some point, returned to normal.

The earlier fork in the road had disappeared without a trace, leaving a broad avenue in its place.

Because of the lingering mist, she and the Dragon Man thought the Yin Yang Road was still there.

Shi Fei stood just a few paces away.

Shi Fei looked delighted yet amazed at Xin Lin.

Seeing Shi Fei unharmed and Feng Xi fine, Xin Lin breathed a sigh of relief.

However, she suddenly realized something; how did the seven-colored Buddhist beads in Shi Fei’s hand end up in Feng Xi’s?

It seems Feng Xi gained the help of those seven-colored Buddhist beads to break open the Yin Yang Road.

The seven-colored Buddhist beads are a very powerful treasure. Feng Xi left hurriedly before and didn’t take the treasure, hence he couldn’t break open the Yin Yang Road.

Once he obtained the treasure, it was as if he was possessed by gods and ghosts, his strength greatly increased.

Regardless, as long as Feng Xi could defeat the Dragon Man, she and Shi Fei should escape quickly.

Xin Lin regained her composure and winked at Shi Fei while Feng Xi and the Dragon Man were still battling, suggesting she slip away.

But as she was about to flee, she found her wrist...

Unable to move!

Feng Xi held the seven-colored Buddhist beads in one hand, fiercely fighting the Dragon Man, while, on the other hand, his right hand clutched Xin Lin’s slender wrist.

Feng Xi appeared frail, yet his grip was quite strong.

Xin Lin tried several times but couldn’t pull back her wrist.

Could it be?

Has Monk Fengxi noticed something amiss?

Xin Lin glanced at the seven-colored Buddhist beads and sighed inwardly.

Those seven-colored Buddhist beads were left in Taichang Temple by Feng Xi.

Now that the beads suddenly appeared here, doesn’t that imply she and Xin Lin have an inexplicable connection.

Feng Xi holding her wrist was simply to inquire about her background; or perhaps he’s already suspecting a connection between her and the Corpse King.

After all, even the Dragon Man detected the Ghost Energy on her, much less someone from Taichang Temple like Feng Xi.

"Remember to keep as far away from that monk as possible, unless you want to be ground to dust."

Gui Hu’s warning resonated as if whispered by her ear,

The battle between Feng Xi and the Dragon Man seemed to be reaching a conclusion.

Feng Xi seamlessly executed a spell and a Treasure Seal, his movements very practiced and graceful.

With just his hand, Feng Xi gathered the Treasure Seal, subjugating the Dragon Man in a helpless state.

The peculiar Treasure Seal in Feng Xi’s palm glowed brightly, pulsating with seven colors.

The palm wind boosted by the Treasure Seal bore a threat potent enough to split mountains and cleave the earth.

The Dragon Man’s resilient armor was struck several times, shattering and spilling blood, staining the ground red.

The cock crowed thrice.

Purple Cloud City would soon greet dawn.

Upon hearing the rooster’s call, the Dragon Man’s expression changed.

"Monk, we shall meet again."

The Dragon Man’s figure turned into a streak of white light and vanished instantly.

"Amitabha."

Monk Fengxi finally chanted, the light from the seven-colored Buddhist beads in his hand dimming.

His hand still clasped Xin Lin’s wrist, beads of cold sweat appeared on Xin Lin’s forehead.

Feng Xi turned around...
