Chapter 173: Golden Dawn Reappears
Tushan Rongrong stretched out her body and narrowly avoided Ximen Tianyu's attack.
At this point, she was also sure that the thing that controlled Ximen Tianyu was the outsider creature that ravaged Mutian City a hundred years ago - Jin Chenxi!
However, Jin Chenxi should have been destroyed in the battle of Mutian City, so why did he reappear here nearly a hundred years later?
Tushan Rongrong was full of doubts while avoiding Ximen Tianyu's continuous attacks. Every move she made seemed so calm, as if she was racing against time, looking for a way to break Jin Chenxi's control.
"Tianyu, wake up, I'm Rongrong!"
Tushan Rongrong dodged Ximen Tianyu's attack while trying to awaken him with words. But Ximen Tianyu's eyes were filled with indifference and hatred. He did not hesitate at all, and each attack went straight to Tushan Rongrong's vital points.
Tushan Rongrong knew very well that Jin Chenxi could control people's minds and make them fall into endless illusions. Only by finding the source could she completely release the control.
Thinking of this, she no longer held back, gathered all her demonic power in her palm, and slapped it on Ximen Tianyu's forehead.
As Tushan Rongrong injected her magic power, the golden light in Ximen Tianyu's eyes began to flicker, as if he was struggling fiercely. Tushan Rongrong did not relax her vigilance. She continued to output her magic power, trying to find the specific location where Jin Chenxi had invaded.
Finally, after a fierce confrontation, the golden light in Ximen Tianyu's eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by his originally clear eyes. He suddenly stopped, panting, with a confused and puzzled expression on his face.
"Sister Rongrong? I...what's wrong with me?"
Ximen Tianyu looked around and found himself in an inn. Tushan Rongrong was standing opposite him, looking at him with amusement.
Tushan Rongrong stepped forward and grabbed the golden morning light that emerged from Ximen Tianyu's head: "You were almost controlled by the golden morning light, but fortunately we discovered its parasite in time. It's okay now, you are safe."
Ximen Tianyu looked at the golden morning light in Tushan Rongrong's hand, and his face changed drastically as if he realized something: "Jin Chenxi? What on earth is this?"
The Golden Dawn is an extremely rare and dangerous creature outside the circle. It has a variety of forms and can penetrate into the bodies of living beings, controlling their minds and behaviors. It can even simulate the deepest fears and desires in the hearts of the controlled, turning them into puppets. Its vitality is tenacious and it is almost impossible to completely eliminate it. It can only be temporarily sealed or expelled.
Relying on the ability of the Heart Mirror, Ximen Tianyu barely understood what Tushan Rongrong said, and then realized how dangerous Jin Chenxi was.
"Let's not talk about this for now. What happened during your operation? How did you run into Jin Chenxi?"
Tushan Rongrong frowned slightly, with a hint of worry in her voice.
Ximen Tianyu calmed himself down and used the power of the mind mirror to share the memory of this action with Tushan Rongrong.
"I originally wanted to discuss this matter with you after the people from the Brotherhood left, but I didn't expect to run into Jin Chenxi..."
Ximen Tianyu's voice was low and solemn, telling Tushan Rongrong what he was thinking at the time.
After hearing this, Tushan Rongrong's eyes became more serious. She gently stroked the bound Jin Chenxi in her hands, and a complex emotion flashed in her eyes. She knew very well that Jin Chenxi's appearance was not accidental, and there must be a bigger conspiracy brewing behind it.
"Sister Rongrong, what should we do next? Since Jin Chenxi has already appeared here, the forces gathered here are likely to be ready to make a move."
Ximen Tianyu asked with a frown on his face.
Tu Shanrong hesitated for a moment, then a look of determination flashed in her eyes: "We must find out the source of Jin Chenxi as soon as possible and eliminate it completely."
"But the current situation is so chaotic, how can we find the source of the golden dawn?" Ximen Tianyu looked troubled, he knew that this would not be an easy task.
"Well, don't act rashly for now. Keep a close eye on the movements of these organizations. I'm going to the Demon Alliance to seek more help and intelligence."
"The appearance of Jin Chenxi is by no means a trivial matter. We must unite all the forces we can to deal with it."
Tushan Rongrong spoke in a firm tone, with an unquestionable light flashing in her eyes.
"Okay, I'll keep an eye on things here and let you know as soon as I have any news."
Ximen Tianyu also realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately nodded in agreement.
"Sister Rongrong, wait a moment!"
After explaining everything, Tushan Rongrong turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Ximen Tianyu.
Upon hearing this, Tushan Rongrong paused, turned around, and looked a little puzzled.
"Um... do you have any more of the teleportation jade talismans you gave me earlier?"
Ximen Tianyu spread out his right hand, and the originally intact jade pendant broke into two pieces after the transmission was completed.
Tushan Rongrong looked at the slightly awkward smile on his face, sighed lightly, and then took out a brand new jade talisman from her sleeve. There was a faint spiritual light flowing on it. It was obviously different from the previous one, but it also contained a powerful spatial force.
"This is the teleportation jade talisman I carefully refined. It is more stable than the previous one and can teleport over longer distances. But there is only one of them. Don't use it lightly unless it is absolutely necessary."
Tushan Rongrong handed the jade talisman to Ximen Tianyu with a serious and admonishing tone.
Ximen Tianyu solemnly took the jade talisman, felt the warm touch from it, and a warm current surged in his heart. He knew the importance of this gift, which was not only material assistance, but also Tushan Rongrong's trust and care for him.
"Thank you, Sister Rongrong. I will cherish it."
Ximen Tianyu nodded seriously and carefully put the jade talisman into his storage bag.
Seeing this, Tushan Rongrong smiled slightly, and that smile was like a spring breeze, instantly dispelling the tense atmosphere in the room. "Okay, time is running out, I have to go to the Demon Alliance immediately. You have to be careful too, and stay alert."
After saying that, Tushan Rongrong's figure flashed, and the whole person slowly disappeared from the spot, leaving only a faint fragrance lingering in the air, and Ximen Tianyu's deep gaze staring at the direction where she disappeared.
After a long time, Ximen Tianyu took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and began to prepare for the next action.
After thinking hard for a long time, he decided to go back to the base of the Navoli Brotherhood first. After all, that was the place he was most familiar with and where he could learn about the movements of the alliance.
Not long after returning to the Brotherhood's base, Shi Feiyang came hurriedly: "Tianyu, you are here? Where are the other brothers?"
Ximen Tianyu looked up, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes. He shook his head slightly and told Shi Feiyang the news that the others had died.
