Chapter 48

When Gu Yun flew over to stop Mu Heng, Jiang Wan thought that the subsequent development should be that Mu Heng discovered that his former lover had returned to the world, and after a long separation, he and his lover expressed their true feelings to each other, and the two held hands and looked at each other with tears in their eyes.

Yes, Gu Yun is the "childhood sweetheart" that Wang Qianya pretended to be, and Chen Andi's real fiancée.

Mu Heng lay dormant for many years and discovered that the Wang family stole the fate of the monks to shield the secrets of heaven for their own people. So he took advantage of this and gathered those monks who died in their place as sacrifices to change their fate.

Finally, he pretended to be the Demon Lord and set up a barrier, but in fact he was setting up a formation. He used the entire city as an altar and all the people in the city as sacrifices to open the formation.

Although it is not known whether his formation can really resurrect people, even if it can, Mu Heng's formation will not be successful.

Because the resurrected person had already been summoned back by Jiang Wan as an undead creature through the realm of the dead, he is currently Jiang Wan's personal summoned creature.

Even if Jiang Wan hadn't intervened to rescue the person and use him as a tool, Jiang Wan estimated that Mu Heng's magic circle would not have been successful.

You know, if Jiang Wan hadn't rescued Gu Yun, according to the original development, Gu Yun would have completely become the spirit of the Soul-Devouring Orb.

Not to mention resurrection, the entire soul has been transformed.

In a sense, Jiang Wan helped Mu Heng fulfill his wish in advance, filling up the progress bar and reaching the finale.

Tsk!

But...how do you see this black fog...

"Eh? He didn't stop?" Jiang Wan was startled. She put the things away and sat up straight. "No, he wouldn't... not recognize me..."

This is a bit embarrassing...

Didn't you say that she was your sweetheart? You even went through all the trouble of both immortals and demons for her. Now that she's in front of you, you won't go all out on her, right?

Lin Xubai's mouth twitched slightly: "...It seems that they are not familiar with each other!"

It's really strange that someone could plan so much and yet in the end not even recognize his or her sweetheart.

Bai Qingqing, however, spoke kindly on Mu Heng's behalf, "No one says you have to be able to recognize your beloved even after she's changed her appearance. Don't be too demanding."

Fang Qian: “Tsk!”

In full view of everyone, Mu Heng shook off Gu Yun's hand.

"Case solved. He really didn't recognize it."

For some reason, Jiang Wan felt embarrassed for Mu Heng. No, after all this time, you did so much for the real person, but in the end you couldn't even recognize the real person.

Mu Heng was completely unaware of the exclamations of the group of people over there. He thought that the woman in front of him was only there to stop him from breaking the seal and taking out the magic weapon. The woman seemed to have said something to him, but he was only focused on taking the magic weapon to revive his lover and didn't care at all.

He coldly cast a spell, knocked the man down, and then stared at the river surface intently. His hands quickly cast seals, and soon, a crack was torn above the river. In the dark deep water space, a jade-colored ruler surrounded by mysterious runes gradually appeared.

The gentle flow of spiritual energy exudes a heart-pounding pressure.

Looking at the jade ruler, Mu Heng's eyes were determined. There were faint blood oozing from his face, neck and other places, but he seemed not to feel it. His eyes were fixed on the jade ruler, and he even increased the magic spells in his hands.

"Oh no! The sealed space we just reinforced has been torn open!" Tu Changxing was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. "What should we do, Senior Brother Lin? If the immortal weapon is gone, what will happen if all the resentful spirits of immortals and demons escape?"

"Ah, you don't need to worry about this. Over the years, the Zhen'e Xuantian Ruler has already purified all the remnants of the battlefield between immortals and demons. Otherwise, the Wang family would not have taken advantage of it." Lin Xubai said lightly.

Jiang Wan rubbed his chin: "In other words... the function of this ruler has been lost, this is really..." That's great.

"Don't worry, I'm here and I won't let him take away anything that belongs to Your Majesty!" Fang Qian rubbed his hands together.

"Don't be so boastful. This spiritual weapon, a divine weapon that has recognized its master, can only be controlled by the master. Even if he can break the seal, he won't be able to control it. The same goes for you. No matter what means you use, you can't take the divine weapon away. Otherwise, the Wang family wouldn't have spent so many years trying to steal the power of the divine weapon through unorthodox means instead of taming it."

Although she said so, Bai Qingqing still stared at Mu Heng closely, wanting to see if he could do it.

If there really is a special method to control an owner's immortal weapon... then the entire immortal cultivation world...

"That's the problem!" Tu Changxing was almost going crazy. He felt that he was the most anxious person in the whole place. Why could Senior Brother Lin and Junior Sister Jiang be so calm and just watch from the side? "This immortal weapon cannot be controlled by ordinary people. Forcing it to activate will only cause it to riot. In this case, all of us will be destroyed by the immortal weapon!"

Lin Xubai did not move because as the owner of the Zhen'e Xuantian Ruler, he could use it to counter Mu Heng at any time.

Jiang Wan couldn't help her because she had the same idea as Bai Qingqing.

"Xiaobai, do you think he can really take it out?"

"Even if he could take it out, it would come at a huge cost." And that would be the cost of his life.

"Buzz—"

A shrill buzzing sound accompanied by a terrifying spiritual pressure swept over everyone. They covered their ears in pain, feeling dizzy and as if their souls were trapped in a bell and were being beaten, the pain was unbearable.

"Hahahaha!" Mu Heng was covered in blood and laughed wildly as he forcibly moved the green jade ruler out of the dark space.

His body was broken and blood was dripping down his clothes, but his eyes were still burning with the obsession of resurrection, and he became more and more crazy.

Just as Lin Xubai expected, Mu Heng, at the cost of burning his own life, used Wang Qianya's bracelet to build a new connection bridge with the Zhen'e Xuantian Ruler, and only then was he able to transfer the Zhen'e Xuantian Ruler out of the sealed space.

However, when he had exhausted everything and found that he was unable to activate this magical weapon at all, he froze in place.

The bloodthirsty devil who was looking down on everyone just a second ago now looked shattered, as if his soul had been sucked out, leaving only a body.

Seeing this scene, Tu Changxing finally put his heart back in his stomach.

The next moment, he saw Jiang Wan rushing out.

Tu Changxing was worried again: "No! Sister Jiang, what are you going to do?"

"Don't worry! I've read it once and I've learned it!"

Tu Changxing: ???

What did you learn?

No one expected that this magical weapon, which no one could control, would emit such spiritual energy the moment it came into the world that it easily defeated Mu Heng with just a single sound. Then, facing Jiang Wan who was rushing towards him, it simply lit up the starlight on its body and had no other reaction.

This made those who had ulterior motives at the bottom ready to take action, thinking that they could also take the lead, so they rushed towards the green jade ruler without saying anything.

Then, as expected, they followed in Mu Heng's footsteps. No, it should be said that they were even worse off than Mu Heng. Their cultivation was completely inferior to Mu Heng's, and their spiritual veins were destroyed on the spot and they died.

Jiang Wan was the only person in the entire venue who was able to get close to the immortal weapon without being rejected by it, and remained intact after close contact with it.

Tu Changxing was so shocked that his jaw dropped.

Everyone:!!!

What is the origin of this woman? ! ! !

At this moment, this question unconsciously emerged in everyone's mind.

Only Fang Qian tightened his face, trying his best to hide the incomparable pride in his heart.

Are you stupid? This is his almighty Lord!!!

A mere immortal weapon! Isn't it easy to get it? As easy as pie!!!

Watching Jiang Wan ignore the huge spiritual pressure continuously emanating from the immortal weapon, she cast a spell easily, and the green jade ruler became like an ordinary spiritual weapon, turning into a stream of light and flowing into her hand, and was held in her palm.

Mu Heng's eyes widened and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Seeing Jiang Wan take his Zhen'e Xuantian Ruler into his palm so easily, as if he had recognized it as his master, Lin Xubai was also shocked and couldn't believe it. If he remembered correctly, the Zhen'e Xuantian Ruler was his, right?

Unbeknownst to everyone, the moment Lin Xubai emerged from the pitch-black sealed space, the Xuan Tian Ruler, which had been left outside for thousands of years by its owner, instantly recognized its master. Especially after Lin Xubai later refined it again under the guise of a seal, the familiar spiritual energy and aura made the Ruler believe its master had finally arrived to claim it.

Unfortunately, the owner had no intention of taking it away and planned to keep it here.

Seeing that the place that once belonged to it was occupied by that damned little goblin, Zhen'e Xuantian Ruler gritted its teeth, full of jealousy and hatred! While Lin Xubai was pretending to seal it, it was secretly eavesdropping and observing Tu Changxing and Jiang Wan.

As the most cherished magical artifact of its former master, it discovered a major secret.

Looking at the folding fan on Lin Xubai's waist, Zhen'e Xuantianchi snorted coldly and made a secret decision.

So when Mu Heng opened the space and intended to take it out, Zhen'e Xuantian Ruler cooperated very well and couldn't wait to go out.

Of course, it didn't just find a master for itself just to go out. It had already chosen the person to follow.

When Jiang Wan's scent approached, it moved closer actively and obediently. After learning about Jiang Wan's preferences, it deliberately made itself sparkle, trying to make Jiang Wan like it more.

It didn't want to be alone anymore, in a dark space with only the sound of water.

You wouldn’t believe it, I can’t cling to the master, but I can cling to the mistress!

Still acting as an unknown folding fan: ...

Jiang Wan's thought process was: Eh? There's a wild magical artifact here! Let's flirt with it quietly first. What? You want to come with me? Okay, then I want it!!!

"Jiang Junior Sister! You you you——"

Tu Changxing couldn't speak clearly, and he looked at Jiang Wan as if he was looking at some rare treasure.

Lin Xubai was also surprised, but he seemed to have thought of something. His eyes became very strange when he looked at the green jade ruler in Jiang Wan's hand. Then his usual gentle smile appeared on his face. The smile in his eyes was so gentle and tender that he himself was not even aware of it, which was particularly seductive.

Jiang Wan didn't come back, but walked up to Mu Heng. "You kept saying you wanted to revive your sweetheart, but when she appeared in front of you, you couldn't recognize her. But Wang Qianya, whom you looked down upon, was able to recognize her at a glance."

Mu Heng was stunned, his gaze turning to the woman who had blocked his way before.

Gu Yun smiled at Mu Heng, her smile a little awkward, "I'm Gu Yun."

She had said this to Mu Heng before, but at that time Mu Heng was completely focused on the magic weapon and completely ignored her words.

Mu Heng was stunned, the expressions on his face were richer than a palette.

After seeing Mu Heng finally realize who he is, Gu Yun walks towards Wang Qianya.

“Da da…”

When Gu Yun walked in front of Wang Qianya again, their situations were reversed and everything was turned upside down.

Wang Qianya looked angry, her eyes filled with resentment, "Don't think you won, at least I got him."

Gu Yun's expression was indifferent, and her hatred for her was not affected at all: "My childhood sweetheart is dirty, so I'll give it to you."

She half-knelt down, her eyes extremely cold and puzzled.

"Honestly, it's so easy to trust others without even a shred of suspicion, just because the other person claims to be a childhood friend.

I really don't understand what's so likable about this kind of person.

But since you like it, I'll give it to you.

It’s not like I can’t find a new one.”

After saying this, Gu Yun stood up and lightly brushed off her messy clothes.

The above words were inspired by Jiang Wan’s complaints. Gu Yun thought about it and felt that what Jiang Wan said made sense.

This nonchalant action deeply hurt Wang Qianya. She was so angry that her chest heaved violently and she almost vomited blood. The man she had tried so hard to snatch away was actually worthless in his eyes!

Wang Qianya almost collapsed when she realized this.

Gu Yun did not do much, but handed over the right of disposal to the people who were bullied by Wang Qianya and the Wang family.

The crimes of the Wang family have all been exposed. The city lord and his wife are dead. Years of oppression and deception, thousands of monks' lives buried at their hands, and the souls of those who died tragically at the hands of the Wang family.

All the truth is made public.

The extremely angry people and monks rushed forward and vented their suffering and hatred over the years on Wang Qianya. In the end, Wang Qianya was killed by these people whom she never took seriously.

Chen Andi, who had been aiding and abetting the evil, could not escape being liquidated.

Chen Andi knelt down and begged Gu Yun to let him go, begged Mu Heng to let him go, and tried to find a glimmer of hope with tears streaming down his face.

Gu Yun had a dull expression on her face. She didn't know if it was because the memories she had recovered were too painful, or because her heart was dead after experiencing so much. The lively and vivid girl from the past would never come back after all.

"I was deceived into thinking I was the wrong person, and that's why I did something wrong! All of this was done because Wang Qianya lied to me that she was you! If it weren't for the agreement we made when we were young, I wouldn't have ended up like this!"

Gu Yun sighed and did not take action.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Wan.

"No one in this world is perfect. Everyone has weaknesses and shortcomings, and naturally they make mistakes. How can there be someone in this world without weaknesses and shortcomings, who never makes mistakes? I know the fault isn't his. No matter how capable he is, he's still human after all."

Jiang Wan raised her eyebrows coldly: "So you want to forgive him?"

Gu Yun smiled and said, "No, I am also a human being, so I can understand that he made a mistake, but I cannot forgive him."

What qualifications does she have to ask for forgiveness? The ones who are truly qualified are the Gu family who have long since turned to dust.

But...Gu Yun looked at Mu Heng, and saw that he didn't have much time left, with a conflicted look on her face.

It was Jiang Wan who pushed her from behind, and only then did Gu Yun sigh and walk over.

Jiang Wan did not get involved in such personal feelings. She took the green jade ruler she had just obtained and ran towards Lin Xubai with light steps, her dark eyes full of pride.

"Xiaobai! Look!" She raised the jade ruler towards the other party as if presenting a treasure.

Lin Xubai smiled and waited for Jiang Wan to approach, his eyes full of indulgence, "You really are worthy of being Xiao Wan~"

As he spoke, he gently rubbed the top of Jiang Wan's head. His slender fingers gently stroked down from the top of her head, sliding to Jiang Wan's neck, brushing away the slightly messy hair sticking to her neck. He stroked her neck again and again as if unintentionally, and his every move was very intimate.

Jiang Wan was like a kitten returning with spoils, while Lin Xubai was like a fox who knew the truth but pretended to be ignorant and serious. He had to wait for the kitten to approach him on its own initiative, and then he would slowly get close to the kitten and tease the kitten without making any sound.

"Big sis, you're so amazing! You defeated the big devil in a flash! And you even subdued such a powerful spiritual weapon!"

A clear child's voice suddenly rang out, and a little girl who appeared out of nowhere rushed over like a gust of wind, hugged Jiang Wan's legs, and her bright eyes were full of admiration for her.

"Huh? That's right, I'm that amazing!" Jiang Wan was stunned at first, then accepted the girl's praise without hesitation, puffing out his chest proudly, "Little friend, you have good taste!"

"Big sister! Are you from the Guiyuan Sect? Big sister, you are so powerful, you must be from the Guiyuan Sect! I heard that the most powerful sect in the entire cultivation world is the Guiyuan Sect!"

"Ah..." Is she from Guiyuan Sect because she's so powerful? Although the process was wrong, the result was right. But how did this child escape alone? Jiang Wan rubbed the girl's head, "Little sister, are you separated from your family? What's your name? I'll help you find your family."

"I'm from Yanyue City." The little girl shook her head and pointed at a couple not far away, indicating that she hadn't strayed away. "I want to join the Guiyuan Sect in the future! I want to be as powerful as you, big sister!"

After saying that, he ran towards the couple and finally shouted at Jiang Wan:

"Big sister! When I grow up, I will definitely go to Guiyuan Sect to find you—"

Jiang Wan smiled and waved: "Okay!"

After the little girl and her parents left, she realized that the little girl did not respond to her name.

"It doesn't matter if you don't know. Unless something unexpected happens, Guiyuan Sect will not recruit disciples from outside within the next hundred years." Bai Qingqing said.
