Chapter 35 Chapter 35 Master's Wife, Here I Come
Hearing this, Jiang Zhaoxue's heart skipped a beat. Then, with a cold face, she reached out and said, "It's not what you think. Give it back to me."
"Okay, okay." Qian Sisi returned the marriage gift to Jiang Zhaoxue. "It's me, not me. I won't take your things carelessly next time. Don't be angry."
Jiang Zhaoxue ignored her and took the marriage belt and tied it around her wrist.
Anan took a glance and said, "Wow," "That's really your name."
"Nonsense," Jiang Zhaoxue said calmly, "Who else can he write about besides me?"
All those who had been kind to him and cared about him were left on that day on the cliff.
She was the only piece of driftwood left in his life.
What are you praying for by just writing these three words? Is it for her to have a long and healthy life, or for good fortune?
He is a man who knows how to repay kindness.
Jiang Zhaoxue raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and without thinking too much, he began to ask Qian Sisi: "What are your plans for tonight?"
"Oh," Qian Sisi said, her expression immediately becoming serious upon hearing the serious matter. She looked at Jiang Zhaoxue and said, "You're blind, can you move without someone to help you?"
"Yes."
Jiang Zhaoxue raised her hand and pointed at Anan on her shoulder. "It can show me the way, and I can sense spiritual energy and locate the location by sound. Don't worry, as long as you can protect me for a quarter of an hour, it won't be a problem."
Qian Sisi nodded, feeling relieved. She then said, "Don't worry. I just found out tonight that the master in charge is a powerful Yuanying-stage cultivator."
"Nascent Soul Stage."
Jiang Zhaoxue nodded, seeming to understand. Qian Sisi lowered her voice and said, "But this expert won't show up casually. He's only responsible for protecting tonight's most important guest."
"Song Wuya?"
"No," Qian Sisi shook her head, "The organizer of the Taotie Festival. This person is very mysterious, and no one knows who he is. But it has nothing to do with us. Anyway, our plan tonight is that you have to be beautiful."
Qian Sisi gestured as she spoke: "Stunningly beautiful, movingly beautiful, and inhumanly beautiful. You'll fascinate that pervert Song Wuya! He values appearance the most, and he will definitely try his best to take a picture of you. Generally, those who are photographed will be sent to a private room on the spot. The gluttonous event will last all night, and you and I will have a chance to meet Song Wuya alone. Once we get to the confined space, leave everything to me. You just wait to collect the body and get the things."
"Now that you put it that way, I'm getting a good deal." Jiang Zhaoxue laughed, "I can get 70% just by showing my face."
"I'm responsible for killing people," Qian Sisi reminded her, "but I won't be responsible after that. How you take the things out or how you run away is not my business."
Jiang Zhaoxue understood and nodded: "Just give me a quarter of an hour and everything will be fine."
If she can start a formation, where can't she go?
"Oh, and one more thing." Qian Sisi thought about it and reminded her, "I stole you, so don't be too cooperative later. Can you be a little more assertive?"
"Simple."
As the two discussed, Jiang Zhaoxue felt the carriage go further and further astray, turning left and right. As dusk approached, Jiang Zhaoxue heard the surroundings growing quieter and asked Anan, "Where are we?"
"It's a cemetery." Anan whispered, "It's quite creepy."
As they spoke, the carriage stopped. Qian Sisi lowered her voice and said, "We're here. I'll get off first. You pretend to faint."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhaoxue immediately closed her eyes and fell into the carriage.
Then Qian Sisi jumped off the carriage and said loudly, "Second Master Zhao, I've brought people with me. If you want to inspect the goods, go ahead."
"Here I come."
An old man's voice sounded, and then Jiang Zhaoxue heard the carriage curtain being disdained. Qian Sisi jumped onto the carriage, pinched her chin, and revealed her face: "Second Master, how is it?"
“Good stuff.”
When Mr. Zhao Er saw Jiang Zhaoxue, he clapped his hands in amazement and asked happily, "Where did you get it?"
"He was brought along by a disciple of the Tianji Academy, and he was blind. I knew he could fetch a good price, so I set my sights on him."
Qian Sisi's words were so smooth that Jiang Zhaoxue even suspected that she did this kind of thing often.
However, this slippery feeling also made Mr. Zhao feel a little relieved. But after thinking about it, he said, "It's not easy to attack a blind man."
"Second Master, you're being disrespectful. If you want to lower the price, just say so. If you're ugly, it's hard to sell, but with something like this," Qian Sisi patted Jiang Zhaoxue's face. Jiang Zhaoxue secretly clenched her fists, taking note of this, and listened to Qian Sisi's meaningful words, "You're blind, now this is called interest."
Qian Sisi's words were too direct, and Master Zhao's thoughts were revealed. He coughed lightly and nodded, saying, "Alright, I won't beat around the bush with you. If I were to offer a price for this top-notch item, you wouldn't be satisfied. Let's auction it tonight. Whatever the price is, Taotie Tower will take 40%."
"Thank you, Second Master!" Qian Sisi's eyes lit up when she heard that, and she quickly knelt down to express her gratitude.
Master Zhao supported her with his fan and said, "I give you this price because I think you have a bright future. If you have this kind of goods in the future, go to the City God Temple first. Master Zhao will be waiting for you."
"Don't worry!" Qian Sisi said hurriedly, "I won't be a killer anymore. I'll change my job and find good stuff for you every day!"
"clever."
Master Zhao was quite pleased with Qian Sisi. After some discussion, Master Zhao said, "You can follow her. I'll arrange for someone to groom her. She must make the most beautiful appearance tonight!"
The two men discussed, and Mr. Zhao turned around and ordered, "Open the door."
As he was speaking, Jiang Zhaoxue felt the change in the surrounding spiritual energy, and then he heard a rumbling sound, and then the carriage started moving. Qian Sisi jumped on the carriage and said goodbye to Master Zhao.
A moment later, Jiang Zhaoxue was surrounded by a sudden influx of voices. The sounds of stringed instruments, the surging sound of water, and the flirting of men and women lingered in her ears. Qian Sisi lowered her voice and said, "We've arrived. The Taotie Festival, the Taotie Tower."
*** ***
As soon as Jiang Zhaoxue left, Pei Zichen immediately sent a message to Ye Tianjiao.
Not long after, the two met at the city gate. As soon as Ye Tianjiao's carriage stopped, Pei Zichen jumped in and instructed Ye Tianjiao, "Prepare hundreds of spirit-seeking arrays first. I'll find you later after I determine the approximate location."
"No," Ye Tianjiao listened, a little shocked, "Didn't you receive any news from Tianji Academy?"
Ever since Ye Tianjiao entered the Dao, he had become a nominal disciple of the Tianji Academy. He shook his token and said, "The Tianji Academy is urgently calling back its disciples. You have to make sure that the Fairy Sister is going to the Taotie Feast. Why don't you just follow the Tianji Academy?"
"They must have sent an informant tonight," Pei Zichen said decisively. "No news has been released about the Taotie Festival, so they can only wait passively. How long do I have to wait?"
"So what are you going to do?"
Ye Tianjiao couldn't understand: "If Tianjiyuan can't find it, then you can find it?"
"The Taotie Feast will surely require a lot of help. Ordinary people wouldn't dare go to a Yin-Yang market like this, so only the little demons dare to go. If the Taotie Feast is being held tonight, they should have already left. I'm going to find all the little demons who weren't home today, and from their last known whereabouts, I can infer the area where the Taotie Feast is located. Within that area, you'll set up a spirit-seeking formation. I've placed a sword technique on Master's Wife. With the spirit-seeking formation in place, I know what my sword technique looks like. As long as we find the sword technique, we can find Master's Wife."
He spoke very calmly, but his hands were shaking slightly.
Ye Tianjiao noticed that he was in a bad mood and did not dare to refute him. He just swallowed and reminded him: "Then... all the little demons in the capital... can you check them all?"
"Eight hundred and thirty-four." Pei Zichen spoke, drew his sword, turned around, and said calmly, "I'm leaving."
After saying that, he raised his sword and slashed, then stepped into the space.
A moment later, in a small mountain cottage, a female orgasm was drying flies in the yard when she heard a knock on the door.
The female demon jumped over and opened the door. The sword came towards her and pushed her against the door.
The young man raised his dark purple eyes, swung the file in his hand, and said politely and calmly, "Excuse me, Madam, but may I ask where your family of five is today?"
*** ***
While Pei Zichen was investigating all the demon dens in the capital, Jiang Zhaoxue was carried into the Taotie Tower by Qian Sisi.
After entering the Taotie Tower, they were first placed in a room, and then a group of people came in and dressed Jiang Zhaoxue.
Jiang Zhaoxue was too lazy to play the role of a chaste heroine, so she started playing the role of a beautiful female corpse, dressing them up without moving a muscle.
After getting dressed, Qian Sisi asked everyone to leave. She took the pancake and sat next to Jiang Zhaoxue. She nudged her and said, "Hey, do you want to eat something?"
Jiang Zhaoxue opened his mouth and expressed his opinion clearly.
Qian Sisi stuffed a cake into her mouth. Jiang Zhaoxue took a bite, propped herself up, and mumbled, "Water."
"How can you look like a beauty here?" Qian Sisi handed her some water. "Don't spray the prince with a mouthful of mung bean cake later."
"I'm not a professional, I'm a thief."
Jiang Zhaoxue reminded her of her identity and drank some water, saying, "Hurry up and do it later. If you're slow, I don't know what to do. If Song Wuya is good-looking, I might have no choice but to sacrifice myself to save my own life."
"What if I'm not good-looking?"
Qian Sisi was curious, but Jiang Zhaoxue didn't hesitate: "If he touches me, he will die!"
As she spoke, Jiang Zhaoxue suddenly remembered, "Is Song Wuya good-looking?"
"Okay." Qian Sisi thought for a moment, "It's better than that little follower beside you."
When Jiang Zhaoxue heard this, he understood.
Pei Zichen was in disguise, but even if he was, he wouldn't look much different. If he looked better than the disguised Pei Zichen, that was pretty good.
Jiang Zhaoxue felt relieved and was even more looking forward to today's assassination.
It was bustling outside, but after a while, there was a moment of silence. Then the host said happily, "Welcome everyone to our feast. We have been waiting for you for a long time, and we will serve you delicious food tonight."
“It’s started, it’s started!”
When Qian Sisi heard the voice, she hurried to the window, took a look, helped Jiang Zhaoxue up, and began to check the things on her body.
"Where are your self-defense gear?"
"Don't worry about that." Jiang Zhaoxue said confidently, "You're the one who did it anyway."
"All right."
Qian Sisi said, and glanced out the window again, then reminded: "Song Wuya is sitting in the private room in the middle opposite the stage. Remember to wink at him later."
"I'm blind."
Jiang Zhaoxue reminded her calmly.
Qian Sisi choked up and could only say, "Then turn your face over there!"
"Okay."
Jiang Zhaoxue responded, and then heard a scream from below. Jiang Zhaoxue frowned, feeling the cheers below resounding to the sky, accompanied by the host's laughter: "Today's first item, a mermaid, crying tears into pearls. Asking price, three thousand spirit stones."
"Let me go!"
This was obviously a young man. Jiang Zhaoxue listened to the sound of the iron shackles shaking wildly and roared, "Let me go!"
As he was talking, someone questioned, "Is he capable? Let him cry first to test the product."
"Come."
The host called out softly, and then Jiang Zhaoxue heard an extremely shrill scream. She frowned, and Qian Sisi beside her hurriedly said, "I told you to mind your own business. Remember our mission."
"knew."
Jiang Zhaoxue's voice was cold, and he couldn't help but ask: "Who exactly is in charge of this?"
"Hmm?" Qian Sisi was a little confused.
Jiang Zhaoxue didn't want to pay attention, but amid the boy's screams, she continued to ask, "How could such a filthy place exist under the Emperor's feet, protected by dragon energy and guarded by the Tianji Academy?"
Hearing this, Qian Sisi chuckled but did not answer.
Jiang Zhaoxue was puzzled: "Qian Sisi?"
"I can tell you come from a wealthy family, asking this question. With such things happening under the emperor's feet, naturally..."
Qian Sisi took a sip of wine, glanced out the window, and said, "Humph, anyway, you just need to know that anyone who can come in here tonight can be killed without any regrets."
"I'm asking who runs this place."
Jiang Zhaoxue asked coldly. Qian Sisi thought for a moment, then moved closer to her and whispered, "I'm telling you this for fun. This might be the prince's place."
Jiang Zhaoxue was stunned. Qian Sisi said cautiously, "Don't go out and say anything nonsense. This matter is very confidential."
"Then how do you know?"
Jiang Zhaoxue was curious.
"I just saw it." Qian Sisi was a little nervous. "That Yuanying stage cultivator escorted someone to the main room. That person," Qian Sisi said in a low voice, "is the prince."
Jiang Zhaoxue listened without saying anything. After thinking about it, she immediately realized that if the prince was the host of the Taotie Banquet, then Song Wuya's appearance here was definitely not a coincidence.
It's just that this has nothing to do with her, but if the prince is this kind of person...
Jiang Zhaoxue heard that the "product" had been replaced with a new one. It was the top-quality cassia incense. After the person who bought it got it, he actually sprinkled it down.
There were obscene and boiling sounds outside. Jiang Zhaoxue took a deep breath and felt a headache.
As a white tiger, this overly filthy environment was a bit torturous for her.
She took a deep breath. There was a knock on the door. The servant said hurriedly, "Miss Qian, it's time for your goods to be presented."
Qian Sisi listened and quickly responded, then slapped a piece of talisman paper on Jiang Zhaoxue and explained, "This is the obedient talisman they gave me. They asked me to put it on you. Try it and see if it has any effect."
"No problem."
The spiritual power of this talisman is useless to Jiang Zhaoxue.
Qian Sisi was satisfied after hearing this and helped Jiang Zhaoxue stand up: "Let's go."
As the name suggests, the obedient talisman makes people obedient. Jiang Zhaoxue was blind anyway, so his expression could not be seen, and he was helped down by Qian Sisi.
As soon as she went out, there were exclamations of surprise all around. Everyone made way for her, but couldn't help but look at her secretly.
After Qian Sisi helped Jiang Zhaoxue to the stage, when he saw Jiang Zhaoxue, Mr. Zhao's eyes lit up and he hurriedly said, "Come, Sisi, let her sit here."
Qian Sisi listened, looked up, and saw a huge crescent moon in front of her. Qian Sisi was a little confused: "This... sitting on this... is she going to be hung up?"
"Don't worry, just give her a stunning appearance!"
Mr. Zhao quickly explained: "It's not dangerous, we still want to make money!"
"Oh." Qian Sisi felt relieved. She turned around to look at Jiang Zhaoxue and nervously helped her forward. "Then... then sit down."
"We spent a lot of money to recommend her!" Mr. Zhao introduced happily, "We just bought the Hehuanxiang at a low price and spread it all over the place. Now that she's out, the price will definitely be sky-high."
"You..." Qian Sisi smiled stiffly, "You have quite a business mindset."
Jiang Zhaoxue listened to the two people talking and glanced coldly at Mr. Zhao.
Mr. Zhao was completely unaware. He only thought, "Why does my neck feel cold? Forget it, Third Brother," he called to the host on the stage, "The finale is here!"
Hearing this, the host secretly glanced at Jiang Zhaoxue, then took a deep breath and said excitedly: "Everyone, tonight, our last main course is here. Let's hold our breath and count down!"
"three."
The people outside were so excited that they completely ignored the host. In the chaotic scene, only Song Wuya was sitting in the private room. He tapped the table lightly and listened to the host counting.
"two."
"one!"
The moment the sound fell, a woman descended from the sky on a crescent moon. She was wearing a white and gold long dress like Dunhuang flying fairy, a flower crown on her head, a scarf fluttering in the wind, and she sat barefoot, like a mountain goddess, riding the wind.
The moment she appeared, the whole audience was silent for a moment, and then suddenly erupted in excitement. When the crescent moon passed over everyone's heads, everyone excitedly pounced on her, trying to pull her belt like crazy.
Fortunately, Mr. Zhao was well prepared. The moment the audience rushed over, countless black shadows fell from the surrounding area and pinned the person to the ground.
Jiang Zhaoxue listened to the noises around her and swung on the swing with an expressionless face. After swinging for a while, she suddenly remembered Qian Sisi's instructions and raised her eyes to look towards the private room in front of her.
The beauty raised her eyes calmly. Although her pupils were out of focus, Song Wuya felt that she seemed to be looking at him.
His heartbeat suddenly quickened, and Song Wuya quickly calmed himself down. Then he immediately realized that he had seen the woman in front of him before.
He raised his hand and wiped the blue crystal ring on his hand, and whispered to the attendant beside him: "Hurry out and tell Master Shen that his wife is at the Taotie Feast. I found her."
Upon hearing this, the attendant immediately responded and left.
Song Wuya raised his eyes and saw Jiang Zhaoxue sitting on the stage, swaying nonchalantly.
Everything around her seemed to have nothing to do with her. She sat calmly and indifferently on the moon, listening to the people below bidding wildly.
"Three thousand!"
"Five thousand!"
"Seven thousand!"
Each one shouted louder than the other. Jiang Zhaoxue just raised her eyes and glanced towards the private room and asked Anan: "Which room is Song Wuya in?"
"There's a handsome guy in front of you, wearing lots of jewels. I think it's him."
Jiang Zhaoxue listened to Anan's words and smiled at him.
At that moment, Jiang Zhaoxue heard a familiar voice in the casino: "Ten thousand!"
When this number came out, the whole audience fell silent.
Jiang Zhaoxue tilted his head, smiled and stretched out his hand forward.
But before she could fully extend her hand, someone in the room above her suddenly spoke up: "One hundred thousand."
Jiang Zhaoxue was stunned when he heard the voice.
Song Wuya obviously didn't expect someone to offer such a price. He frowned slightly and said through gritted teeth, "Eleven."
"twelve."
The other party followed without hesitation.
Qian Sisi was also a little panicked, and hurriedly said to Mr. Zhao, "Eleven is fine, I like this number! I'll sell the one with eleven!"
"Are you sick?" Mr. Zhao glared at her. "We're here to make money. If someone gives us something, we just buy it. Why are you so particular about this?"
"Thirteen." Song Wuya was obviously gritting his teeth.
The person who followed the number felt no pressure: "Fourteen."
Hearing the word "fourteen," Song Wuya finally couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up suddenly and said loudly, "Brother! This girl is very important to me. Can you give her up?"
"No!" The other servant was very arrogant. "If you have money, you can add more. If you don't have money, you can give up."
Song Wuya couldn't speak. Even though he wanted to do Shen Yuqing a favor, 150,000 was indeed too high for him.
He gritted his teeth and said nothing. Mr. Zhao hurried out and apologized to everyone. Then he said, "If no one raises the price, then this girl will belong to the guest in Room One."
As she spoke, Jiang Zhaoxue was put down. She was confused and surprised. How could there be someone who offered a higher bid than Song Wuya tonight?
But this is not important now. What is important is that now that she has been chosen by someone else, how is she going to find Song Wuya?
She was pondering in her heart. As soon as she landed, Qian Sisi rushed over, protected her and said, "Forget it, we won't sell it. Second Master, I promised her that I must find a good-looking customer for her!"
"Bullshit!"
Upon hearing this, Mr. Zhao flew into a rage and kicked her, shouting, "Pull her away!"
“Who dares!”
Qian Sisi rushed out with her blade, blocking Jiang Zhaoxue and cursing loudly: "If I say I won't sell it, then I won't sell it!"
"Take advantage of the chaos to find Song Wuya," Jiang Zhaoxue said in a low voice, standing behind Qian Sisi, "Tell him that I have a crush on him and ask him to come and save me."
Hearing this, Qian Sisi paused, then reacted and looked around. Seeing Song Wuya had already stood up from the box, she gritted her teeth and rushed towards Mr. Zhao Erye: "I will fight you!"
Master Zhao kicked Qian Sisi away and raised his hand to shout, "Come here, catch her and kill her!"
Upon hearing this, Qian Sisi rolled out and pounced towards Song Wuya.
Jiang Zhaoxue listened to the quarrels around her, and then a man walked up to her, smiled, raised a hand towards Jiang Zhaoxue, and said respectfully: "Miss, let's go."
His voice was like that of a eunuch, quite sharp. Jiang Zhaoxue pretended to be controlled by the obedient talisman, and he pulled her and put it on her hand, leading her forward.
The two of them went all the way up to the top floor. Jiang Zhaoxue walked through a long corridor and was finally led to an empty room.
"Young lady, please sit down first." The man led Jiang Zhaoxue to a chair and said with a smile, "The young master will come to visit you soon. You will be blessed tonight."
Jiang Zhaoxue listened with an expressionless face.
The eunuch turned around and ordered those around him, "Keep an eye on her. Don't let anything go wrong. His Highness said that once he uses her, she's yours as a reward for tonight. Keep your mouth shut, understand?"
"yes!"
Upon hearing this, everyone became excited.
Jiang Zhaoxue remained motionless, sneered in his heart, counted the breaths of the people around him, and began to draw a formation with his hands.
*** ***
When the Taotie Tower was in chaos, Pei Zichen had already brought Ye Tianjiao to the point where he was counting.
"Tonight, there are a total of 321 people working, and 193 of them are going to a location that forms this circle."
Pei Zichen discussed with Ye Tianjiao and came to the circle he drew. Ye Tianjiao quickly set up a spirit-seeking formation.
He did not have the ability to set up too many spirit-seeking arrays, which was why Pei Zichen had to narrow the scope.
He quickly set up the formation, Pei Zichen stood in the soul-seeking formation, and the ice and snow quickly spread out with him as the origin.
He connected all the formations with his sword, closed his eyes, and the world turned into leaping light spots. He raised his hand and the sword turned into a lightsaber surrounding him. He closed his eyes and sensed the most familiar point among the thousands of leaping light spots.
When he sensed it, the disciples of Tianji Academy who were lying in ambush nearby received the information from Song Wuya, and were stunned for a moment. Then they immediately informed Shen Yuqing: "Master Shen, your wife has been found. She is at the Taotie Feast. As for the location..." The disciples were a little embarrassed.
At that moment, a blue magic circle suddenly lit up not far away. The disciple looked up and saw a young man in a blue Taoist robe fluttering in the wind in the magic circle. He was standing on the glacier, holding a sword in his hand, and chanting something.
After a long moment, the sword suddenly stabbed fiercely into the ground, a brilliant light shot up into the sky, and a ghostly aura instantly screamed out! Dozens of lightsabers fell at the same time, completely breaking the barrier. The young man jumped in and rushed straight down!
The Tianji Academy disciples stood there in a daze, then shouted urgently, "Found it! The orphan girl's grave thirty miles east of the city, we've found it!"
Shen Yuqing heard the sharp voices of the Tianji Academy disciples and immediately drew his sword.
The sky rumbled and cracked, and in a moment, Shen Yuqing turned into a ray of light and fell to the ground. More than a dozen lightsabers smashed directly into the ground, shattering the barrier with a bang, and fell down like a meteor with the disciples of Tianji Academy.
As Pei Zichen fell into the barrier, ghost energy rushed towards him. He picked up his sword and rushed towards Taotie Tower, swinging it all the way. In a moment, he felt the sword light falling from behind him.
"Shen Yuqing is here!"
Yuan Luogong shouted urgently.
Pei Zichen jumped up and the Yuanluo bow appeared in his hand. He bent the bow and shot out quickly. The arrow shattered the evil monsters. The others followed the arrow and rushed as fast as the wind.
The Taotie Tower was alarmed by the Tianji Academy in the sky, and all attacks rushed into the sky. The bells in the entire Taotie Tower rang urgently. Pei Zichen ran wildly on the ground and jumped into the Taotie Tower, only to see that the building was in chaos.
The scent of cassia bark filled the air, and men and women who had not yet woken up were mixed together, looking up blankly.
Qian Sisi was pinned to the ground by several large knives. Seeing Pei Zichen, she exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly said, "Top floor! Turn off the lights for me, she's going to the top floor!"
Pei Zichen rushed up almost the moment Qian Sisi mentioned the top floor. The sword wind extinguished the lights at the same time, and the entire Taotie Building turned into darkness.
Ghosts were rampant and monsters were roaring. Pei Zichen turned over and jumped onto the corridor. Countless soldiers rushed over with swords in hand.
Pei Zichen twisted his fingers with one hand, held the sword with the other, stepped on the Nine Gang Square Formation, and swung the sword like light, blood splattering beside him. He shouted loudly: "Give way!"
However, the soldiers were like lifeless puppets, flying madly one after another.
Pei Zichen fought and walked, listening to the woman's screams in the room, his heart was in turmoil.
Yuan Luogong became excited and shouted frantically, "Use me! Pei Zichen, use me, I will kill them all in one go!"
"Shut up!"
"Shen Yuqing is here!" Yuan Luogong said excitedly, "He'll catch up soon, and then we'll kill them all!"
"Nonsense."
Pei Zichen suddenly cut off a young man's head and jumped onto the last floor.
The moment he jumped into the corridor, the powerful spiritual power suddenly exploded, hitting Pei Zichen in the chest and knocking him away.
He slammed into the corridor, and then felt countless swords and knives raining down. A voice that was indistinguishable from Yin and Yang said coldly, "You're seeking death at such a young age. Do you think you can covet His Highness's people?"
"Give me back my master's wife!"
Pei Zichen pressed down the blade of his sword and looked up to see a middle-aged man. His face turned cold and he shouted, "She doesn't belong here! Hand her over!"
"Hey," the middle-aged man raised his orchid finger, "You dying thing, you dare to threaten our family?"
"Get out of here!"
As he spoke, the man waved his sleeves and a strong wind blew, suddenly blowing Pei Zichen away.
The screams of young women and boys filled the air. Pei Zichen vomited blood and fell to the ground. Yuan Luo hurriedly called out, "Accept my power quickly!"
Pei Zichen did not move, but just propped himself up again and slashed forward.
As he swung his sword, his mind was filled with memories of his youth when he was in the Lingjian Immortal Pavilion, gazing at the clouds and reading classics.
"Those who cultivate the Nine Netherworld's demonic arts are deceived by human desires and eventually fall into madness. They harm the innocent and murder living beings."
"Demon cultivators are abandoned by the righteous path, and those in the True Immortal Realm will be killed upon sight."
"You are a gentleman, the most precious treasure of our sect. I couldn't bear to see you become a demon, so I saved you."
"Don't be fooled by his coldness now, but he used to be just like you, a very kind person. You can do everything he can do, and you can become a better person than him in the future. He didn't serve as a good master, and I will make up for it. So don't worry, I will take good care of you, teach you, and accompany you to become a god."
"Master's Wife..."
Pei Zichen gripped his sword tightly and told himself desperately.
He also wants to return to the real fairyland.
He still wants to stay with Jiang Zhaoxue.
He wants to be better than his master, to be a gentleman and the best of the sect.
He couldn't let Jiang Zhaoxue's efforts go to waste. He couldn't become a demon, he had to become a god.
"Don't be silly!" Yuan Luogong sensed his condition and shouted angrily, "Jiang Zhaoxue can't hold on any longer! Bullshit gentlemanly conduct! Only those who can maintain their original intentions are called gods. How can you be called a god if you run away!"
However, Pei Zichen didn't listen. His sword moved faster and faster, but the opponent remained at ease. He looked at the black aura around him in confusion and asked, "Hey, what's that around you?"
"It's your father!" Yuan Luogong cursed, circling around him, constantly trying to persuade Pei Zichen, "Does your gentlemanly virtue require the lives of others? She's in there. If anything happens to her, what difference does it make whether you become a god or a demon?! Four years ago, she went blind for you and fell into the time rift, and now you want to harm her for your bullshit beliefs?!"
"Accept me!"
Yuan Luogong shouted fiercely: "Accept me!"
"Pei Zichen."
The moment she left four years ago, disappearing like quicksand, lingered in his mind.
He seemed to hear her calling him.
Yuan Luogong sensed his emotions and immediately used the rune Jiang Zhaoxue had given him, shouting in a voice only Jiang Zhaoxue could hear: "Call his name!"
Jiang Zhaoxue was drawing the formation when the sound of Yuan Luo Gong suddenly came to his mind. He hurriedly said, "Call Pei Zichen!"
Jiang Zhaoxue was a little confused and asked curiously: "Pei Zichen?"
The moment the voice fell, Pei Zichen's pupils shrank sharply, and countless black air instantly poured into Pei Zichen's body. Pei Zichen's sword wind was as fast as thunder, and the opponent didn't even have time to resist before he was frozen by ice and snow, and then his head was chopped off fiercely!
Then ice and snow quickly covered the corridor. As they moved forward, black air roared forward. Pei Zichen seemed to be leading thousands of troops. Wherever he passed, the flesh and blood on the ground shattered like cracked ice.
Jiang Zhaoxue felt the spiritual energy outside surging wildly, his heart pounding like a drum. The moment he turned around, he heard the door being slammed open with a "bang".
Ice and snow flew in their faces, and black magic swords came in like rain. Everyone in the room was pierced through in an instant before they could even make a sound.
The surroundings were silent for a moment. Jiang Zhaoxue felt a sense of oppression that was almost divine power. She asked tentatively, "Zi Chen?"
No one responded.
The blood of the people around them flowed silently on the ground. Jiang Zhaoxue smelled the smell of blood filling the entire room. She suppressed her heartbeat and cautiously twisted the rune in her hand.
Pei Zichen stood at the door looking at her, his body surrounded by black air, and a blood-stained sword in his hand.
Not far away, a woman was wearing white clothes and a flower crown on her head. She looked like an elf who was not tainted by the world. Silently, blood spread to the corners of her clothes.
Pei Zichen's lips trembled when he saw the blood stain on her.
He walked in tremblingly, holding his sword and stepping on the blood-stained ground.
With every step he took, the demonic energy in his body was suppressed a little.
When he walked in front of Jiang Zhaoxue, he had returned to his usual appearance, holding a blood sword, with his long hair scattered behind him. He lowered his eyes and looked at the woman in front of him, oblivious to everything, and alertly sensing the woman around him.
The wind blew her hair, which was scented with bamboo leaves, pine and cypress, gently against her cheek. Jiang Zhaoxue paused slightly and looked up at him.
Pei Zichen suddenly felt his eyes sore. He cut open the blood-stained corner of Jiang Zhaoxue's clothes with a sword, knelt down on one knee tremblingly, and looked up at Jiang Zhaoxue sitting on the chair.
"Master's wife," he said hoarsely, "I'm here to take you home."
