I Have a Compass for Opportunity

"Hmm?" Liou Yuan was secretly startled and began to silently pay attention to the Fixed Star Compass within his body.

The needle of the Compass slowly started to move amidst the radiance, finally stopping in one direction without any further movement.

And that direction was precisely Lingjun County.

"What’s going on?" Liou Yuan frowned slightly, glancing in the direction indicated by the Compass, feeling somewhat puzzled.

Right at this crucial moment.

Gong Linqing’s low voice sounded in Liou Yuan’s ear: "Envoy, she’s coming out."

This forced Liou Yuan to temporarily set aside the changes in the Fixed Star Compass. His eyes flashed with a sharp light as he looked toward the entrance of Huifeng Inn.

She stepped out from the entrance of Huifeng Inn, walking with a light yet determined stride, gaze unwavering, posture straight as if navigating through her own world, undisturbed by external influences.

A long black trench coat swayed gently in the wind, starkly contrasting the bustling and noisy surroundings.

As a purple glow flickered deep within Liou Yuan’s pupils, the Evil Eyes were activated, capturing the cultivation level of this woman.

Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer, indeed matching the cultivation level mentioned regarding Ji Jie in the intelligence report.

The Evil Eyes couldn’t see through her disguise, but Liou Yuan confirmed the identity of the figure before him through other means.

That was the reddish glow intermingling within her Spiritual Power, adhering to the inner walls of her meridian pathways like parasites, particularly striking.

It closely resembled the fire poison mentioned in the intelligence report regarding Ji Jie.

All these details converged on one person, giving Liou Yuan ninety-nine percent certainty that the person before him was Ji Jie.

"It’s him!" Liou Yuan spoke lowly to Gong Linqing, confirming his identity.

Ji Jie’s senses were exceedingly sharp; the moment Liou Yuan’s gaze fixed upon her, she too sensed it, abruptly lifting her head to meet Liou Yuan’s gaze from the second floor of the tavern.

Their pupils simultaneously emitted a sharp gleam.

Both were fierce individuals; no words were needed at this moment.

Boom! The Profound Brilliance Sword unsheathed.

Liou Yuan leaped down from the second floor of the tavern, streaking through the air with a brilliant blue radiance, empowered by Treading Flowing Waves, directly charging at Ji Jie.

Ji Jie slapped his Storage Bag, retrieving the notorious Blood-crying Spear of Huifeng and Lingjun’s two major county cities.

He stood with the spear, its point aimed straight at Liou Yuan’s charging direction.

By now, Liou Yuan had closed in to within three feet of Ji Jie.

Faced with this formidable individual who had once escaped death at the hands of a Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer Disciplinary Hall disciple, Liou Yuan’s eyes were filled with murderous intent, unleashing his full power with the attack.

The Profound Brilliance Sword swung out, with Green Tide Sword radiance erupting forth.

Slosh! The Green Tide Sword radiance sliced through the air, creating a sound akin to crashing waves.

Ji Jie was not to be outdone; his spear vibrated, a point of cold brilliance flashing in the dark night to meet the oncoming Green Tide Sword radiance.

Bam! Both the Green Tide Sword radiance and the cold brilliance from the spear shattered simultaneously.

Exploding before them.

Both Liou Yuan and Ji Jie exuded powerful auras; neither showed any intention of yielding upon confrontation.

After the first brief clash, ruthlessness flashed in the eyes of both.

The Profound Brilliance Sword and Blood-crying Spear violently attacked each other.

Clang! Sword and spear clashed again, sparking a blaze.

In close quarters, Liou Yuan was already face-to-face with Ji Jie, able to clearly see each other’s eyes.

He clearly saw the face of Ji Jie, disguised as a female cultivator, wearing a cold smile at the corner of his mouth.

"So, you’re a dog of Five Extremes Mountain." Ji Jie’s defiant voice rang out, male-toned.

He glanced at the Five Extremes Mountain disciple waist token worn by Liou Yuan and had already discerned his identity.

The renown of Five Extremes Mountain was significant in Jiuli State, yet it couldn’t intimidate a desperado like Ji Jie.

Instead, due to his near escape from death by the Five Extremes Mountain Law Enforcement Team, Ji Jie bore a deep hatred for people from Five Extremes Mountain.

The stern face instantly seethed with killing intent.

"Dare a mere Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer come and capture me, is your Disciplinary Hall out of people?" Ji Jie’s voice became increasingly audacious, vibrating his spear to shake off Liou Yuan’s Profound Brilliance Sword.

Ji Jie’s spear technique, mentioned specifically in the reward intelligence, was indeed domineering.

Liou Yuan felt the enormous force feedback from the spear shake arresting the Profound Brilliance Sword in his grip.

As the sword was shaken aside, his fingers nearly lost grip due to the unbearable counterforce, almost dropping the Profound Brilliance Sword.

He had to mobilize Yunwu Prefecture to dissipate the force on the Profound Brilliance Sword.

His body thus retreated several steps before stabilizing himself.

"No wonder you’re a figure wanted by the Disciplinary Hall, tough nut indeed!" Liou Yuan shook his slightly numb hand, his expression growing solemn.

This Ji Jie was immensely strong, far surpassing Pan Yang.

Liou Yuan was certain that not even ten Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer disciples from Five Extremes Mountain could defeat this Ji Jie.

Liou Yuan, notorious for being combative, hadn’t encountered a rival since reaching Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer.

Ji Jie’s appearance ignited Liou Yuan’s fighting spirit.

As his voice fell, his eyes brimmed with battle intent.

Ji Jie’s spear shake maneuver was rather intricate. In his estimation, this Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer disciple from Five Extremes Mountain should have dropped his weapon under his spear’s shock.

Seeing Liou Yuan merely step back to dissipate the force, an intrigued expression appeared on his face, he praised: "Among all the Qi Cultivation Sixth Layers I’ve killed, you’re the strongest."
