All these millennia of life and struggle will ultimately amount to nothing.
But if she stood here, even if she died in battle, she might pave a path back to the North for them. She gently stroked the neighing spirit sword in her hand.
When she emerged from the spirit sword, and when she unknowingly took the name of an ancient sword as her own, she would never fail to live up to that name.
Xuanxi Tianjun's lips curled into a slight smile.
A fierce wind howled through the sky, yet he remained unmoved, even as drops of blood dripped from his dantian.
Even when surrounded, there will be no fear.
At that moment, he suddenly thought that it might be good to die at her hands.
But he cannot die.
Because he also thought that if he really died at her hands, when she one day remembered everything from the past...
She must be in a lot of pain.
The last thing he wanted was for her to suffer because of him.
“Today, I have lost. I am willing to keep my promise and never invade the Northern Divine Kingdom in my lifetime.” He looked at the astonished woman with eyes as black as stars, his eyes shining with undisguised love, and said softly, “From now on, the Northern Kingdom is your vassal state.”
Even before entering the Tower of Reincarnation, he had never considered annihilating the Northern Divine Kingdom. When he received the Heavenly Emperor's furious summons and learned that a woman had dared to defy the heavens, he only felt genuine curiosity. He was unimpressed by the Heavenly Emperor's anger.
A mistake is a mistake, and the glory of the Celestial Court will not be extinguished because of the rebellion of one woman.
Being persistent only makes people feel that the Heavenly Emperor is not magnanimous.
But the Heavenly Emperor insisted that he bring his subordinates to come. When he arrived, he made a pact with Wangshu Shaojun.
He firmly believed that he had cultivated for ten thousand years and was known as the strongest in the Celestial Court, so he would not be defeated. Therefore, he made that contract that made an exception for her.
Even if she dies, he will still spare the demons of the North, as long as they do not reappear in the Celestial Court, he will preserve their lives.
The only thing he didn't expect was that he fell in love with her, but she forgot him.
He cannot kill his lover, but his lover can send him to his death without any mercy.
"You're already surrounded, why are you still saying such hypocritical things?" Wang Shu Shaojun thought Xuanxi Tianjun was truly a sanctimonious fellow.
This young man, who possesses the most noble and glorious status in the Celestial Court, is so shameless.
They were surrounded and about to die, but they thought that by admitting defeat they could pretend nothing had happened and run away?
Keep dreaming!
With a wave of her hand, the demonic beasts surrounded the celestial guards below.
Each time they descended from the sky, the space trembled. The celestial guards of the Celestial Court gripped their swords tightly, knowing that these demonic beasts were capable of tearing them apart.
The Heavenly Emperor underestimated the power of the northern monsters.
"What do you want?" Xuanxi Tianjun knew his Shushu all too well and asked, "What do you want in return for letting us go?" Although he loved his lover, he couldn't gamble with the lives of his celestial guards.
They followed him with their lives, so he had to take responsibility for their lives.
Love is a matter between two people, but more important than love is one's own responsibility. He sighed deeply, his tattered armor gleaming, and he raised his eyes, revealing a smile of unparalleled elegance.
"I swear that in this life, I will never be enemies with Young Master Wangshu. If I break this oath, may my body and soul perish within the Three Realms, and may I never enter the cycle of reincarnation again."
"Heavenly Lord!" came the young man's sorrowful voice.
Wang Shu Shaojun silently looked at the tall, handsome, and unconventional young man.
Even as an enemy, she had to admit... he was the most upright and honest man she had ever met.
But aside from that, she just sneered.
“You alone cannot represent the Celestial Court,” she said, squinting.
"..." Xuanxi Tianjun lowered his eyes.
He truly cannot represent the entire Celestial Court; he has neither the power nor the means.
Wang Shu Shaojun raised his hand high. If he were to strike, Xuanxi Tianjun would surely die here today.
He is the most revered being in the Celestial Court, and it is said that he will inherit the Celestial Court and become the Heavenly Emperor in the future.
If they perish here, the Three Realms will likely be thrown into turmoil, and the Northern Divine Kingdom will suffer the most devastating retaliation from the Celestial Court, extinguishing even its last vestige of life.
Because at this point, it was no longer a battle of life and death where no one was involved.
Even for the sake of the Celestial Court's last vestiges of dignity, she would likely have to spend the rest of her life in constant pursuit, leading her subjects. But if she didn't kill Xuanxi Heavenly Lord...
Wang Shu Shaojun became even more indecisive, but her face remained calm and her killing intent was still palpable.
"Wang Shu!" Just as she was weighing whether or not she should take Xuanxi Tianjun's life, she heard a young man's voice calling from afar.
A beam of light swept in from the horizon, landing instantly before Wang Shu Shaojun, revealing the figure of a frail but handsome young man. His face was filled with extreme anxiety; he practically threw himself at Wang Shu Shaojun, trembling as he said, "Quick, quick, come with me to see Biluo! She...she's fainted!" Tears welled in his eyes, but when he turned and saw the murderous battlefield and the blood, a look of unbearable pity crossed his face.
"You killed again?" he asked in a low voice.
Wang Shu Shaojun looked at him coldly.
This is her senior brother.
After the spirit sword took human form, she was ignorant and weak. It was her master, the ancient immortal Wuming, who took her in as a disciple and brought her into the Northern Divine Kingdom.
