"Heh, you can actually break through my Sacred Fire Illusion. As expected of Princess Rong of Tianyuan City." The woman giggled, her body transforming into red flames and drifting away, stopping ten zhang away from the two of them, stroking her cheeks.
"It's a pity, compared to Tianwang Jiang Wenji, you're still too green, little princess. Do you know? You shouldn't have appeared here." As she spoke, the woman's hand turned into a claw. Five red flames landed, transforming into five identical copies of herself.
"Little princess, you should obediently come with me."
As the words fell, the five figures pounced towards Jiang Rong. Jiang Rong used her sword to block the attack of one of them, then agilely dodged the attacks of the other four incarnations.
"Stop struggling, you can't withstand my Five Flames Transformation Technique." The woman chuckled, blowing on the flames on her fingers. "Obediently surrender, and I might be gentler."
"Don't even think about it!" Jiang Rong said angrily, the momentum of the sword in her hand becoming even more fierce. As the princess of Tianyuan City, she had naturally received guidance from many masters. Jiang Wen could see that her foundation was solid, and her swordsmanship came from the hands of those sword cultivators. There were also some stances from the Tianyuan City military swordsmanship, likely honed in the Four Saints Legion. It was a pity that she was still young, her cultivation only at the Lamp Lighting Realm. Compared to this woman, she was still a bit too young.
Just dealing with the five flame incarnations was enough to leave Jiang Rong panting. Her body's magical power was exhausted, and the hand holding the iron sword was trembling.
"Heh heh, little princess. You should have brought some guards when you came out. But now it's too late to regret it, you should still obediently come with me."
The woman giggled, and the five incarnations attacked Jiang Rong. Just as Jiang Wen was considering whether or not to intervene, he heard a soft hum from afar.
"Pretentious."
"Who!" The woman's eyes widened, looking around in shock. Before she could recover, the illusion that was originally full of flames disappeared.
"For Xue's sake, I'll spare your life. Get lost." An invisible force came, pushing the woman a hundred zhang away. Her clothes were tattered, and the gold ornaments on her body were scattered everywhere. Her face was panicked, and blood spilled from the corner of her mouth. Just a formless and shapeless attack was enough to injure her, and the woman was shocked.
"Who is Your Excellency? You are actually willing to interfere in this matter."
"Me? Hmph." The voice went from far to near, and then a figure materialized in place. It was a tall young man with long, loose hair and a green robe.
"Uncle Xiuqi!" Jiang Rong looked at the man in surprise, clutching her long sword and running over. She grabbed the young man's arm, acting like a young girl should. "Uncle Xiuqi, this woman bullied me."
"Ah, even Tianwang is having a headache because of you." The young man sighed, gently rubbing Jiang Rong's head. "If the protective magic weapon I gave you hadn't worked, you would have been captured now."
"I know I was wrong, Uncle Xiuqi. But now you have to teach this bad woman a lesson for me." Jiang Rong pointed at the woman and said.
The woman stared intently at Xiuqi, her expression ugly. Before Xiuqi could speak, her whole body turned into flames and dissipated.
"The Pavilion Master of Boundless Pavilion, very good. We'll meet again someday."
"Hey! Why did she run away!" Jiang Rong stamped her foot, saying angrily.
"She is the Holy Maiden of the Sacred Fire Sect, so she naturally has the escape techniques to run away. It's not easy to keep her, it would take some effort." Xiuqi laughed.
"This woman is related to Sister Xue, Uncle Xiuqi, you're afraid of Sister Xue, aren't you?" Jiang Rong looked at the young man Xiuqi, saying with dissatisfaction. "Didn't you hear what she said just now? She wanted to capture me."
"I naturally knew, that's why I showed myself." Xiuqi said, then looked at Jiang Wen on the side. He saw this handsome cultivator with strange attire nod to him, picking up his teacup and drinking tea.
"Who is this...?" Xiuqi looked at Jiang Wen and asked.
"Oh, he's a good friend I just met, also surnamed Jiang. By the way, benefactor, what is your name?" Jiang Rong introduced Jiang Wen to Xiuqi, then seemed to remember something and asked Jiang Wen's name.
Jiang Wen looked at Xiuqi, he didn't expect that he would have a chance to see him. And hearing Jiang Rong ask his name, he pondered for a moment and opened his mouth to say his identity, but found that he couldn't make a sound, as if something was preventing him from telling Xiuqi his origins.
"..."
Jiang Wen was stunned, he felt the abnormality. He couldn't say what he originally wanted to say, he couldn't even tell others who he was.
"Can't I reveal my origins in this era?" He guessed in his heart, tentatively telling Xiuqi some other things. Then he discovered that as long as it was something related to him, whether speaking or writing, it could not be shown. He was like someone isolated from this era, only able to say some unimportant topics.
"Could it be because my physical body has come here?" Jiang Wen calmed down, looking at the curious Jiang Rong and the steady Xiuqi. With a thought, he spoke again: "My name is Taixu, you can call me Jiang Taixu."
"Jiang Taixu?" Xiuqi listened to Jiang Wen's words, wondering if he had heard the name somewhere. But no matter how he recalled, he couldn't find any information about Jiang Taixu.
"So your name is Jiang Taixu, the name is very nice." Jiang Rong said the name Jiang Wen gave, affirming him very much. For some reason, from the first time she saw Jiang Wen, she felt that she and this person would definitely become close friends.
"Yes, but it's just a name." Jiang Wen said indifferently.
"This Boundless Street is the residence of the Boundless Pavilion, you can freely enter and exit with this token. Once you encounter danger, you only need to transmit a message through the token, and the cultivators of the Boundless Pavilion will naturally come to protect you." After Xiuqi finished speaking, he threw a token to Jiang Wen. Taking the token and putting it into his storage bag, Jiang Wen thanked Xiuqi.
He looked at Jiang Rong on the side, and saw the young girl reluctantly following behind Xiuqi.
"You've been out for a long time, Tianwang wants you to go back. She's been irritable lately, don't disobey her." Xiuqi said.
"I know, Uncle Xiuqi. I'll go back with you now." Jiang Rong had no choice but to follow Xiuqi.
Before leaving, the young girl waved to Jiang Wen, opening her mouth and calling out: "Jiang Taixu, next time I have a chance, I'll take you to see outside Tianyuan City."
"Okay, I'll wait for your good news." Jiang Wen waved to the young girl, watching Xiuqi take Jiang Rong away. He sat in this secret realm for a long time, then walked out of the Myriad Medicine Hall.
But as soon as he stepped out of the door, he was stopped by a figure.
Looking up, it was Xue, whom he had met in the tavern.
