Chapter 119: Flipping jade tiles like an emperor

Ji Yao's head was spinning for a moment as he struggled to process this new piece of information. He wiped away the blood from his nose before neatly arranging his clothes.

Is this how it was going to be like each time they hunted down these keystones? Was he meant to face off with a powerful opponent every time and get his ass kicked till Rui Fei comes to the rescue?

He found that playing the damsel in distress and the hero being someone younger than him was a little annoying. After this, he vowed to improve his strength and at least be able to rescue himself. This Nocru who forced him out was definitely of Qilin descent. The seraphic energy was familiar though it was tainted with something dark and sinister.

Unlike Huishe Yue he wasn't in a dungeon or anything remotely close to that. He was somewhere isolated or it appeared so. His clothes were something out of this world and on his forehead was a symbol of a flame glowing brightly as he spoke.
