Daxi, northern part.
Tianshan Mountains, Tianxin Lake.
A red figure emerged from the water, with a beautiful face wet with water. Drops of water slid down her cheeks and dripped into the snowy and creamy grooves, which aroused people's reverie.
Her skin was as white as fresh snow, clear and flawless, making people want to reach out and touch it to see whether this beautiful woman was just an illusion or really existed in the world.
This woman was none other than Xue Huan who had emerged from the underground palace.
She swam to the shore, got off, and released a burst of fire spiritual power from her body, drying her clothes and hair. Then she took out a spiritual boat from her storage bracelet, stepped into it, and injected spiritual power into the control array of the spiritual boat. In an instant, the spiritual boat soared into the sky, and in the blink of an eye it disappeared into the high clouds, speeding towards Yong'an, the capital of Daxi.
Both the storage bracelet and the spirit boat were refined for her by Yin Yuanxi. His underground palace was filled with countless treasures, including magic weapon secrets, spiritual medicines and minerals, weapons and spirit stones, natural treasures, and so on.
Although most of the dynasty's treasures were consumed in setting up the Demon-Slaying Formation, which was also the formation to suppress Guiyuan, the remaining treasures were still a considerable number.
A lot of money has been consumed over the years to maintain the operation of the formation, but there are still some materials to refine a storage bracelet and a spirit boat.
In fact, in addition to the storage bracelet and the spirit boat, Yin Yuanxi also prepared many things for Xue Huan, including robes, weapons, pills, etc., for fear that she would be bullied outside and he would not be able to help her in time without her side.
So try to prepare as many things as possible for her.
With these things on her, even if Xue Huan was really a weak woman with no fighting ability, she would be able to fight against a Jindan stage cultivator. What's more, her cultivation had already reached the foundation-building stage, so she was not afraid of the possible dangers.
Even if she couldn't win, she could just run away. Yin Yuanxi also prepared several teleportation beads for her. When she needed them, she could crush them and be teleported to his side.
Xue Huan told him that the world outside is no longer the same as it was hundreds of years ago. People now don't know what it means to cultivate immortality. With her cultivation level at the Foundation Establishment stage, she would probably be able to beat a bunch of people outside. She would be the only one to bully others, and no one would bully her.
But Yin Yuanxi was still worried.
Because of love, he was afraid. In such a short time, she had become the apple of his eye. How could he allow her to get hurt?
Of course, the preparations should be as complete as possible.
Xue Huan just let him go.
Now, with the treasures prepared for her by Yuan Xi, Xue Huan is going to seek revenge on the Yun family's enemies.
Tianshan Mountain is located on the northern border of Daxi. If you walk from here to Yong'an City, it will probably take one or two years, and it will take several months by carriage.
But the spirit boat was very fast and arrived at Yong'an City in just one or two hours.
Although the speed was fast, there was a layer of spiritual energy shield outside the spirit boat as protection, so Xue Huan did not feel any harm from the cold wind, and the journey was quite smooth.
Arriving above Yong'an City, Xue Huan controlled the spirit boat to descend. As she landed, she noticed that a wide square below near the imperial city was full of people.
That square, located outside the Meridian Gate, was the place where executions took place. Previously, more than one hundred male members of the nine clans of the Yun family were beheaded in public here.
There are so many people gathered here now, could it be that someone is going to be executed again?
Xue Huan landed the spirit boat on the roof of a three-story building. From her high vantage point, she could see the situation below clearly at a glance.
On the execution ground, the person to be executed was actually a child!
The child was about three or four years old, with a chubby face and big round eyes. He was wearing shackles that were much smaller than his size and was brought up by the jailer.
Looking at the child, Xue Huan suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart. She covered her chest, suspecting that the child was known to the original owner Yun Huan, and was even very close to her, otherwise her body would not have reacted like this.
Xue Huan quickly reviewed the memories she received from Yun Huan and discovered that the child was actually Uncle Yun's only child, Yun Che!
Yun Che was a posthumous child. Uncle Yun died in the battlefield. When the news came back, Aunt Yun fainted on the spot. After waking up, she learned that she was pregnant. Touching her still flat belly, she burst into tears and decided to give birth to this child.
Afterwards, the child was named Yun Che.
Yun Huan liked this little cousin who was a dozen years younger than her very much. She treated him like her own son and visited him whenever she had time, played with him, and taught him martial arts.
Xiao Yunche also likes her very much. She is his second favorite person besides his mother.
Xue Huan couldn't help but wonder. Hadn't all the male members of the Yun family been beheaded? Why was Yun Che still alive? Of course, she didn't mean to wish him back, she just found it strange.
When the emperor ordered the execution of the nine clans of the Yun family, he showed no mercy and wished to wipe out the entire Yun family, from the old general in his seventies to the three-year-old Yun Che, no one was spared.
And now, why was Yun Che the only one let go?
Xue Huan released her spiritual sense, and the discussions of the people below fell clearly into her ears.
"What a sin! Such a young child is going to be tortured to death."
"It's all because of the Yun family collaborating with the enemy and betraying their country, causing harm to such a young child."
"Oh, how pitiful."
"Pity what the hell! He's pitiful, but those innocent soldiers who died at the border because of the Yun family's treason aren't pitiful?"
"In any case, such a young child shouldn't be subjected to the torture of lingchi. Beheading is one thing, but isn't lingchi intentionally intended to cause the child excruciating pain?"
"You don't know this, do you? The reason the higher-ups are executing the only remaining male member of the Yun family by slicing is to force out the escaped Miss Yun Huan. The Yun family is collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country. After Yun Huan escapes, she might deliberately leak more secrets to the enemy out of resentment. Therefore, we must capture her! Otherwise, our Daxi will be in danger!"
"Oh, I see. Will Yun Huan show up then?"
"Who knows? Yun Che is the last remaining heir of the Yun family. If she still has any conscience, she won't allow Yun Che to be executed by slow slicing."
The onlookers were talking about it, and Xue Huan on the roof was furious. In order to force her to show up, the royal family really did everything they could!
At the same time, he felt extremely fortunate that he had arrived in time. Otherwise, if he had been a step later, Yun Che would not have been able to be saved!
In order to force her to show up, the news that Yun Che was going to be executed by slow slicing had probably spread throughout Daxi. However, what the royal family didn't know was that she had been directly teleported to an underground palace thousands of miles away and had no idea about this.
Fortunately, she arrived in time on the spirit boat.
Although Xue Huan was furious, she didn't lose her mind and rushed forward to save the man regardless of the consequences. People must be saved, but the method of saving them must be specific.
She waited patiently.
Just looking at Yun Che's frightened face below, her heart ached, and her hatred for the royal family deepened.
