That sentence seemed to be murmured to himself, or perhaps whispered to her.

Was it Hanqin who, out of wishful thinking, helped the pitiful Chu Xinqiao who had lost her memory?

Or was Chu Qiao just deluding herself, knowing full well there was no future, yet still chasing after him like a moth to a flame?

Or did Haotian, in his wishful thinking, disregard Chu Xinqiao's opinion and choose to abandon this cause and effect and fate?

Self-deception and wishful thinking. Han Qin's expression subtly revealed a kind of madness, and all the disciples and elders of the entire Lingyuan Palace felt an incredible pressure.

They looked up helplessly at the dim sky...

The sky has fallen.

The Sword Peak Master and the others transformed into a beam of light, breaking through and surpassing the limits of light, and instantly appeared in the sky, looking at Chu Xinqiao with uneasy eyes.

Hanqin was really angry... like activating divine gear, a magnificent transformation.

She was dressed in a magnificent black robe, the sleeves embroidered with exquisite silver thread patterns that shimmered faintly with her movements. Her hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall, gently brushing against her fair skin and exuding a delicate fragrance.

Her face was stunningly beautiful, yet she possessed a chilling aura that made people hesitant to approach her. Her eyes were deep and sharp, seemingly able to see through all lies and hypocrisy, reaching the very depths of one's heart.

Upon seeing this, the Sword Peak Master broke out in a cold sweat, and the Thousand Thunder Peak Master even felt his old, cold legs tremble.

Both of them were old immortals who had witnessed many grand scenes in the immortal realm. Of course, they were also fortunate enough to have seen the grand scene of Hanqin being suppressed.

Even with the combined efforts of true immortals, they couldn't break through the defenses and could only helplessly suppress... the Demon Lord!

A true immortal has come knocking on our door.

No, that can't be right. Rumor has it that the Palace Master and this person were old friends, so why do they look like this now...?

At this moment, Chu Xinqiao was still holding Hanqin's hand, but due to Hanqin's magic, the other peak masters were not yet able to see her.

Hanqin looked at the group of peak masters who floated up, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes.

"Get down here within three breaths, or I'll send you down."

The majestic voice seemed to carry an irresistible force, and a sense of crisis gripped their hearts, as if their lives would be in danger if they did not go down.

The power of a true immortal is far beyond what these immortals can defy.

They are merely immortals who have entered the path of immortality and transcended ordinary arduous cultivation. True immortals, on the other hand, are the pinnacle of this world. It is not a title for a particular realm, but rather a title that transcends far more people in the world and beyond the imagination of 'humans'. Therefore, they are revered as 'true immortals'. For true immortals, countless things are matters of a single thought.

All the peak masters descended rapidly; if they didn't go down soon, they might not be able to and would end up in the Six Paths of Hell.

Everyone in Lingyuan Palace was filled with unease.

Even the three of them, who had just been displaying their invincible prowess in the competition, stared blankly at the sky. Feeling this pressure, the memory of being threatened by the Chi family patriarch resurfaced before their eyes.

Suddenly, a voice as beautiful as heavenly music, elegant and ethereal, seemed to come from the distant horizon: "Enough, stop fooling around."

It was just a voice, but it seemed to reassure the peak masters, and the Sword Peak Master and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.

That taboo still exists.

However, this was only half a breath; the other half of their breath hadn't been relieved yet, because both the Sword Peak Master and the Thousand Thunder Peak Master knew very well that if the two of them were to fight, not to mention their disciples, even they, the peak masters, would have no hope of escaping if they were caught in the crossfire.

The entire Lingyuan Palace will be destroyed.

One of the twelve True Immortals of the human race, five of whom joined forces, were unable to harm his essence. His physical body was nearly immortal, leaving them with no choice but to seal him away...

One of the strongest beings in the human race, in a fit of rage, shattered the Immortal Realm, becoming an existence even more taboo than a True Immortal. Their Palace Master, though a True Immortal and also considered taboo, was only a taboo for ordinary cultivators. This one, however, was a taboo for all humans and immortals under heaven.

Before they could think any further, the whole world seemed to freeze, and emerald light gradually coalesced into a human figure from in front of Hanqin.

Her white hair cascaded down like a waterfall, resembling the Milky Way falling from the heavens. Her face was ethereal, breathtakingly beautiful, captivating all who beheld her. Her eyes were like stars, deep and bright, radiating a mysterious light.

Her eyebrows were like crescent moons, long and graceful, as if drawn by a celestial being. Her nose was straight and delicate, exquisitely carved like jade. Her lips were like cherries, red and glossy, making one want to kiss them.

Her skin was as white as mutton fat jade, smooth and delicate, without a single blemish. Her figure was graceful and slender, like a blooming flower.

Her white hair danced in the wind, a scene of poetic beauty that captivated all who beheld it. Her stunning beauty was breathtaking, as if she were a fairy descended from heaven.

However, her face now carried a mixture of helplessness and sadness.

It is for Hanqin, and also for Chuxinqiao's helplessness and sorrow.

At this moment, Chu Xinqiao was also in a state of pause.

The entire Lingyuan Palace was occupied only by Haotian and Hanqin.

When he first met Hanqin, she was dressed in a yellow robe and kept a low profile. Now, however, she was willing to wear a full set of divine attire for Chu Xinqiao's sake and was glaring at him angrily.

Hanqin's face was filled with despair: "How can you be so heartless?"

She gripped Chu Xinqiao's hand tightly. The Haotian she knew now felt like a stranger.

Seeing Hanqin before her, Haotian felt a pang of pain in her heart. She was distressed and hesitant. She knew that she had changed.

She was no longer the decisive, passionate, and powerful Haotian she once was. Now, she was cowardly, hesitant, afraid of losing, and dared not hope to have anything anymore.

She feared she would let down and delay the life of the stunningly beautiful Chu Xinqiao; she feared she would not have the courage to take that step again in the future; she feared she could not bear such a burden.

Looking at Haotian, who had a conflicted expression, Hanqin murmured softly as if she were talking to herself: "I like you. During the hundreds of years I was sealed, I hated your existence because my best friends were obsessed with you. Their daily gossip turned into their attention to your every move and word."

Her eyes gradually filled with your image, while I was slowly ignored.

I started to take it seriously. What did you have that made her, a woman of unparalleled beauty, so enamored with you?

After getting to know you, yes, I admit it. You are unparalleled, invincible, and although your path has been fraught with hardship, you have attained the ultimate truth, and your brilliance is unmatched. Even I myself think I like you.

Haotian listened quietly, looking at Hanqin with a complicated expression.

Hanqin opened her mouth slightly, hesitating to speak, as if she had a thousand words in her heart but didn't know where to begin. Her lips trembled slightly, as if she was trying to find the right words, but she was like someone lost in a dense forest, unable to find a way out.

Words could no longer express the helplessness and anger in her heart.

Hanqin then seemed to have resigned herself to her fate and given up. Her whole body went limp, and looking at the white-haired beauty in front of her, she and Chu Xinqiao had both lost completely.
