"Um, well, this..." Tan Shang took a step back, sounding a little guilty.
He could be completely fearless against the fierce Crimson Moon woman, but he simply couldn't bring himself to harden his heart towards this innocent little dragon.
Xuan Chen lowered his eyes, seemingly pondering something: "You're afraid your sect leader will be lonely, so you gave her a ghost marriage partner."
“That’s right.” Zuo Xia patted Tu Dan’s head. The sect leader was gone, and although Tu Dan wasn’t the sect leader’s biological son, he was still born by the sect leader himself.
"Alright, you withdraw your troops, and I'm willing to go with you to the Crimson Moon Sect and marry your sect leader."
Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect: "..."
Scarlet Moon Sect: "..."
The leader of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect rushed forward and bowed to Xuan Chen: "Alliance Leader, I know you are doing this for the sake of our Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect, but we absolutely cannot let you suffer such an injustice for the sake of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect!"
"Rest assured, even if our Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect fights to the death with these demonic cultivators, we will not let them succeed."
Zuo Xia's lips twitched: "That alliance leader, are you out of your mind? Our sect leader hated people like you the most when he was alive."
"You're trying to marry our sect leader in the afterlife so that he won't have peace even after his death. What a vicious heart you have."
Zuo Xia had long heard about the feud between the sect leader and this so-called alliance leader.
She thought, the sect leader must have been heartbroken back then. She went blind, her husband left, and she was even plotted against and murdered by her own master.
How could such a person possibly offend the sect leader?
Even if you dream of marrying their sect leader, you might not even get a chance.
Li Wanqing mingled in the crowd and breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Zuo Xia refuse.
She came back this time to seek revenge on Li Muge and Mo Yan.
Now that Heaven has mercy, Li Muge is dead, so only Mo Yan remains.
It was him.
Li Wanqing vaguely dared not recall the nightmare from that time. If it weren't for Mo Yan, if it weren't for him harming her and personally casting a spell to close the door.
How could she allow herself to be insulted by that group of filthy beggars, even after the effects of the drug wore off?
Li Wanqing killed those men with her own hands, but that still didn't quell the hatred in her heart.
But when she saw Xuan Chen again, she found that she was still fascinated by him.
"Branch Master, Mo Yan really isn't at the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect. I heard he just left the day before yesterday," a disciple from the Crimson Moon Sect whispered quietly to Mu Ge.
Zuo Xia, upon hearing this, decided not to waste any more time: "Mo Yan isn't here, but she can't run away from us. Let's go."
The people of the Crimson Moon Sect acted swiftly, and in less than a quarter of an hour, they all disappeared around the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect.
Li Wanqing looked at the aloof and unapproachable Xuan Chen, and then turned her gaze to the people beside him.
She needs a new identity.
An identity that allows one to openly and legitimately stay by Xuan Chen's side.
Ying Yuan quickly gave her this identity. She adopted the alias Murong, came from a respectable family, applied to the Xuan Guang Sect, and became Xuan Chen's personal maid.
They now had the opportunity to get close to Xuan Chen.
__
At this time.
Ying Yuan was also sending people everywhere to search for Li Muge's primordial spirit and soul.
They sent people to search the entire Yellow Springs region, but they still couldn't find a trace of Li Muge's soul.
"My lord, could it be that Li Muge has already entered the cycle of reincarnation?" The shadowy figure told Ying Yuan his guess.
“Impossible.” Ying Yuan’s voice was hoarse and strained: “Li Muge was injured by the Demon-Slaying Blade, so he can’t enter the cycle of reincarnation at all.”
"Send more people to search. If you can't find them, then you bunch of useless trash have no reason to exist."
The shadowy figure lowered its head in fear: "Yes, sir."
"By the way, are you almost getting Choi Myung-joo's heart? I don't have that much patience."
Ying Yuan looked at the hideous burn scars on his hands, his eyes growing colder.
"Your Majesty, for some reason, Cui Mingzhu seems to have become a different person, relying on herself for everything."
"Even though my subordinates deliberately let her know that besides her sister Cui Ruyu, her biological mother was also involved in poisoning her child, she still didn't agree to 'exchange' us. Instead, she took revenge on her own."
Putting aside his stance, the shadowy figure actually admired Choi Myung-joo quite a bit.
No one around her chose her, yet she managed to turn the tide in adversity.
Ying Yuan closed his eyes: "Then force her as soon as possible. I can't wait any longer. Ten hearts, and it's been so long, and we've only collected two."
"How much longer do I have to wait before I can get the Boundary-Breaking Pearl?"
"Yes, my lord. Please give me some more time. I will definitely get it done."
After the shadowy figure finished speaking, it transformed into black mist and departed.

Little Peony was taken back to Penglai Wonderland by Mu An, but Little Peony, who had recovered from her injuries, insisted on leaving.
In the sea of flowers, countless flower fairies and Uncle Banyan Tree were trying to persuade Little Peony to forgive Mu An once, because Mu An truly loved her.
Little Peony politely declined all their suggestions, packed her bags, and left.
Mu An was puzzled.
He caught up with Little Peony and suddenly hugged her: "Little Peony, I truly love you."
“But don’t you think that between me and Li Muge, you always put Li Muge first?”
"Then what am I?" Mu An asked Xiao Shaoyao through tears.
If the little peony of the past would have acted coquettishly towards Mu An, coaxed Mu An, or even argued with Mu An a few times.
But now Little Peony just feels so tired.
She let her long hair down, no longer wearing the innocent-looking bun, and her eyes were calm.
"Mu An, I know you like me, and I have never doubted your sincerity."
"I consider you the person I love, and I want to hold your hand and grow old with you."
"But what do you take me for? An object in your hands? Someone who will live by your side forever, and if you tell me to go east, I will go east, and if you tell me to go west, I will go west."
