When these words came out, everyone was shocked.
Wen Shaoqing subconsciously wanted to struggle, but the pressure from the Tribulation Period came immediately and immediately pinned him down so that he could not move.
His expression changed slightly, and all the people from Qingle Palace nearby were also shocked.
Xue Xueran sent a message earlier saying that the person he brought back was clearly only a Qi Refining Stage person, how could he be a Tribulation Crossing Stage person?!
However, the unrelenting pressure of transcending tribulation permeated the surroundings, and no one could fake it.
The blood from years of felling mixed with the yellow sand in front of the Hehuan Palace. The young peach branch rested against Wen Shaoqing's neck, quietly watching the flowers fade away.
Everyone realized that he was not joking and he would really kill Wen Shaoqing.
"Wanwan," he asked again, "can I kill her?"
Hearing this, Wen Shaoqing looked at Hua Xiangwan coldly and asked, "Ah Wan?"
Wen Shaoqing's words woke Hua Xiangwan up suddenly. She looked at Xie Changji and quickly spoke to stop him: "Now that he has been taught a lesson, let him go."
Xie Changji said nothing. Through the yellow sand, he could see the worry and tension in Hua Xiangwan's eyes.
That look was the same as when she looked at his wounds and every time she saw him get into trouble.
He stared at her for a long time until Hua Xiangwan emphasized, "Eternal silence."
Hearing this, Xie Changji lowered his eyes slightly, put away the peach branch in his hand, turned around and walked back to Hua Xiangwan.
As soon as he turned around, the pressure subsided. Wen Shaoqing was helped up by the monks beside him. He stared at Xie Changji's back and asked in a low voice: "May I ask your name?"
"Tianjian Sect," Xie Changji paused and said in a steady voice, "Qingheng."
Hearing this, Wen Shaoqing was stunned.
Qingheng of the Tianjian Sect?
Isn't that Xie Changji, the master of the Heavenly Sword Sect's Heart Sword, the number one man in Yunlai, the strongest man in the world who was said to have destroyed a sect with one sword? !
How could he possibly come back with Hua Xiangwan?
Isn't it said that the Sword of the Heart is meant to guard the boundary between life and death, and that one cannot leave?
The Western Territory and Yunlai are too far away, and the Dingli Sea is complex, so few people know the route. Unless there are special circumstances, monks from the two places generally do not cross the sea.
The Sword of the Heart is a very rare branch of the Heavenly Sword Sect that has been revealed to the world. People have only heard of it and know very little about it. But no matter what, Xie Changji's appearance in the Western Territory and becoming Hua Xiangwan's husband is extremely shocking.
Wen Shaoqing frowned slightly upon hearing this, and couldn't help but say, "Shouldn't you be guarding the realm of life and death? Why are you here?"
"The alien world has been pacified, why can't it be done?" Xie Changji turned to look at him, seemingly puzzled.
"The alien world has been pacified?" Everyone present was a little shocked. Wen Shaoqing couldn't believe it. "How?"
"Just kill them all."
After these words were spoken, everyone fell silent, and the young man's black clothes seemed to be filled with blood.
If someone else said this, it might be seen as a joke or exaggeration.
But Xie Changji was full of murderous sins, and when he said he had killed everyone in the world, no one dared to question him.
Wen Shaoqing looked at him quietly. Seeing that Wen Shaoqing didn't move, Xie Changji turned around and asked, "Why don't you get out?"
"Yes," Wen Shaoqing smiled as if remembering something, and said respectfully, "I will leave now, Ah Wan," Wen Shaoqing turned to look at Hua Xiangwan, "So you are welcoming the great man who has transcended the tribulation back to the Western Region, why didn't you tell us so that everyone in the Western Region can make preparations to welcome you back?"
"I have already reported my husband back to the Demon Lord," Hua Xiangwan said in a neutral tone, "The wedding banquet will be held some other day and the Western Territory will be informed. It's you who came too early, Shaoqing."
"I see."
Wen Shaoqing smiled and bowed respectfully: "Then..." Wen Shaoqing raised his hand, turned around and walked towards the sedan chair, and ordered loudly, "Young Master of Hehuan Palace, please make way."
Having said that, he sat back in the sedan chair and watched coldly as Xie Changji walked to Hua Xiangwan's side.
The two of them sat back in the jade carriage. The curtain had been damaged by Wen Shaoqing's sonic waves. Xie Changji paused for a moment when he got in the carriage. He looked up at Wen Shaoqing who was watching them not far away. After thinking for a while, he raised his hand and waved it. Thousands of pearls flew out of the Qiankun bag and were strung into a bead curtain with cloud silk, hanging outside the jade carriage.
The pearl curtain blocked Wen Shaoqing's sight, and Xie Changji then sat back down beside Hua Xiangwan.
Hua Xiangwan looked at the pearls and couldn't help but glance at Xie Changji: "How did you fit so many pearls in your Qiankun bag?"
"I wasn't pretending," Xie Changji explained, "it was Uncle Master Kun."
"Why does he wear this?"
Hua Xiangwan didn't understand, and Xie Changji answered honestly: "Let me go to Hehuan Palace and give gifts to everyone I meet."
Hua Xiangwan: “…”
She didn't expect that Kunxuzi would teach Xie Changji even this. For a moment, she felt that Xie Changji was not here to find Qi Ling, but to choose a concubine.
Without Wen Shaoqing's obstruction, Hehuan Palace opened up a large formation and quickly entered the inner city.
Hehuan Palace is very large, and the inner city is a palace city. Hua Xiangwan and Xie Changji stopped at the square, and then were led by attendants into the main hall.
In the main hall, the three elders of Hehuan Palace were standing on a high place. On the top of the hall sat a woman who looked young, probably in her early thirties. She was extremely beautiful, with peacock eyes and red lips, and she looked majestic without even getting angry.
But for some reason, despite her youthful appearance, her hair was gray as if she were old, tied up in a high bun, and paired with a purple dress, she looked obviously older.
When everyone saw Hua Xiangwan, they all laughed. Hua Xiangwan couldn't help but smile. She stepped forward and bowed respectfully: "Mother, Aunt Yun, Aunt Meng, Aunt Yu, Xiangwan has fulfilled her mission and brought her husband back."
After hearing what Hua Xiangwan said, Xie Changji also bowed and said seriously: "Junior Xie Changji, I have met the Palace Master and the elders."
"Your Excellency is polite."
The purple-clad woman sitting high up said weakly, "You are the Supreme Lord of the Heavenly Sword Sect. You are a distinguished guest in the Hehuan Palace. You don't have to be too polite."
"Since I'm married to Wanwan, I'm a disciple of Hehuan Palace," Xie Changji said in a steady voice, "Wanwan's elders are my elders, and Wanwan's sect is also my sect. Palace Master, there's no need to be so formal, just call me Changji."
After hearing this, everyone felt relieved and a little happy.
The woman in white at the edge smiled and said gently, "Since the Lord said so, then we are from the same sect. The Lord can no longer call me Palace Master. You should call me Mother instead."
"Ms. Yun is right," the green-dressed woman on the other side looked at Xie Changji and was also very happy. "We originally only wanted Wanwan to go to the Tianjian Sect to ask for a Jindan Daojun, but we didn't expect her to be so capable. How did you get to know her? How come you are willing to come back with Wanwan in just a few days..."
"Meng Gu, please stop talking," the blue-dressed woman finally laughed. "Why are you so anxious to ask about the child's private affairs? Let's settle them down first and let them rest. The palace mistress is also tired."
Yu Gu said, looking at Hua Xiangwan with a much gentler look in her eyes: "Your mother was originally recuperating in Yutan. She came to pick you up when you returned today."
"Mother," Hua Xiangwan raised her eyes and looked up, and said softly, "From now on, your health will be the most important thing. When your daughter comes back, she will naturally come to see you."
“It’s different.”
Hua Ranyan shook her head: "When you bring your husband back, I have to come and see him for the first time."
"That's enough," Yun Gu interrupted them when she saw that they had almost finished talking, "I'll help the Palace Master to rest, you guys go and get busy."
As she spoke, Yun Gu stepped forward, helped Hua Ranyan up, and left towards the inner hall.
After they left, Menggu and Yugu walked down the platform and said with a smile, "Come on, we'll take you to the inner courtyard to see if the arrangement here is suitable."
As they talked, they led the two of them inside, and asked Hua Xiangwan about what had just happened: "I heard that Shaoqing was making trouble at the door just now?"
"Yes." Hua Xiangwan nodded. "He deliberately left a back door for Xie Daojun. Fortunately, Xie Daojun subdued him, and we entered through the main entrance."
Hearing this, Menggu sighed, and the tone seemed very familiar.
"After all these years, he still has the temper of a child."
Xie Changji raised his eyes and glanced at Menggu. Yugu beside him coughed lightly and then said, "It is because our Hehuan Palace is not strong enough that we let him run wild." Yugu turned to look at Xie Changji with some sincerity, "If it were in the past, I would not let Changji suffer any injustice today."
"It's okay." Xie Changji shook his head, thought for a moment, and then said, "It won't be like this in the future."
"That's right," Menggu said happily, "I heard that Changji was just in front and he knocked out the two brothers Xiao Wen and Xiao Di with one sword. Such strength is unheard of in the Western Territory."
"Meng Gu," Hua Xiangwan saw that Meng Gu was getting more and more outrageous, and was afraid that she was getting too arrogant, so she reminded her, "The top masters haven't arrived yet, and the Demon Lord Trial is coming soon, so don't think about causing trouble."
"I didn't mean to cause trouble."
Meng Gu turned to look at Xie Changji: "It was someone who provoked us, wasn't it?"
"Um."
Xie Changji responded.
Hua Xiangwan was quite helpless. The group walked to the backyard. Menggu explained to them where the disciples of the Tianjian Sect were placed. Then she pointed to the yard and said, "How about Changji living here?"
"I can live with Wanwan."
Xie Changji answered calmly, as if he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
Menggu and Yugu were stunned, and then Menggu laughed: "It's great if you are willing. We were worried... After all, the Tianjian Sect is still a famous and upright sect, and there are some differences between us. Since..."
Menggu didn't finish her words. She just smiled and glanced at Hua Xiangwan, squeezing her eyes and saying, "Then I'll live at your place?"
"good."
The two of them took Hua Xiangwan and Xie Changji on a tour of the Hehuan Palace. In the evening, the Hehuan Palace held a banquet to welcome the Tianjian Sect.
Since Hua Ranyan was not there, Hua Xiangwan took over the meeting. She and Xie Changji sat on the high platform and watched the disciples of the two sects socialize.
The disciples of Hehuan Palace were cheerful and cheerful, and both men and women were good at singing and dancing, which stunned the disciples of Tianjian Sect.
After watching for a while, some male disciples went up to toast the male disciples of Tianjian Sect. This was normal, but as they drank, the female disciples also started drinking.
After three rounds of drinks, the situation got a little out of control. All the disciples of the Tianjian Sect were pulled onto the platform. The whole hall was filled with noise and music.
Hua Xiangwan felt a little awkward watching this scene. She turned to look at Xie Changji who had been silent, and said anxiously, "Well... this is the atmosphere in our palace."
Xie Changji turned around and looked over when he heard this. Hua Xiangwan explained, "You... you don't mind, right?"
Xie Changji thought about it and was a little puzzled: "What do you mind?"
"Well," Hua Xiangwan pointed down, "they were singing, dancing, and drinking."
Xie Changji hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "I only know how to drink."
"You drink?"
Hua Xiangwan was a little surprised. She remembered that Xie Changji didn't know how to drink back then. She took him to drink once, but he passed out after just a few sips.
Xie Changji nodded, Hua Xiangwan smiled, thought for a moment, raised his glass and said, "How about you and I have a drink?"
"Um."
Xie Changji responded, and Hua Xiangwan poured him some wine. The two of them clinked their glasses lightly. Xie Changji took a sip, hesitated for a moment, and then drank it all down again as if he remembered something.
When the people below saw that Xie Changji was also drinking, they hurried up to toast him. Hua Xiangwan saw that Xie Changji did not show any intention of refusing, so she just watched with a smile. Everyone toasted Xie Changji, and naturally they would not let Hua Xiangwan go, but Hua Xiangwan could drink a lot, so she just let them do as they pleased.
After a while, Xie Changji's face turned red. Hua Xiangwan saw that he looked a little drunk, so she called Ling Bei up and whispered to Xie Changji, "Why don't you go back first?"
Xie Changji listened to her words, looked up at him, and seemed a little hesitant.
Hua Xiangwan patted his shoulder and soothed him: "Go home and have a good sleep. I'll be back later. Nothing will happen in this short time."
After hearing this, Xie Changji nodded slowly.
Ling Bei came up, helped Xie Changji up, and sent him back to Hua Xiangwan's room.
Hua Xiangwan drank with everyone until the end of the banquet, and finally got up and left.
Despite her alcohol tolerance, she was a little tipsy.
Lingnan helped her walk towards the room. When they entered the inner courtyard and were about to reach her own yard, she suddenly felt something was wrong. She looked up and saw a young man in purple clothes and a jade crown, holding a guqin in his hand, standing not far away at the end of the corridor, looking at her.
Lingnan saw the person coming and subconsciously wanted to speak. Hua Xiangwan raised her hand to stop Lingnan from speaking, and said with a headache: "Lingnan, you go down first."
Lingnan heard what he said, hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "Young Master, I'm not far away, shout and I'll come right over."
Hua Xiangwan nodded, but she knew that probably nothing would happen.
Lingnan put Hua Xiangwan down and hesitantly stepped back. When Lingnan was out of earshot of their conversation, Hua Xiangwan sat down on a chair beside the corridor and sighed, "What are you doing here?"
Wen Shaoqing said nothing. He walked in front of Hua Xiangwan, half squatted down, and looked up at her: "He forced you to do that, didn't he?"
"What did you say?"
Hua Xiangwan smiled and looked up at Wen Shaoqing: "I went to the Heavenly Sword Sect to ask him for help. He didn't force me."
"Why didn't you wait for me?"
Wen Shaoqing stared at Hua Xiangwan, who smiled bitterly: "Everyone from Qingle Palace has gone to Hehuan Palace to cancel the engagement. How can you expect me to wait for you?"
"I have no idea."
Wen Shaoqing seemed unable to accept it: "I went to the secret realm to find Ling Yingzi at that time. They said that this could repair your golden elixir. How could you not wait for me..."
"Shaoqing," Hua Xiangwan couldn't bear to listen any longer. She raised her head and looked at him seriously. "Is this something you can decide? If I wait for you, Qingle Palace will not join forces with Mingluan Palace?"
Wen Shaoqing looked at Hua Xiangwan, and Hua Xiangwan raised her hand and stroked his brow: "Shaoqing, you are not your mother's only son, you have to understand."
His position as young master is not permanent.
Wen Shaoqing's expression changed drastically when he heard her words: "So, you chose Xie Changji?"
Hua Xiangwan paused, and Wen Shaoqing looked mocking, "Because he is stronger and more capable, and can repair your golden elixir?"
Hua Xiangwan looked a little cold, and Wen Shaoqing suddenly became excited: "I can do it, too, if you want! Ah Wan," Wen Shaoqing stretched out his hand, held her hand, and pleaded, "You don't want him, you use me, don't let him touch you, okay?"
"Shaoqing," Hua Xiangwan looked at him calmly, "You know you can't do it. What I need is the Heaven Sword Sect's mental method."
Wen Shaoqing paused. Hua Xiangwan hesitated for a moment and turned his head away: "Besides, my relationship with him is not what you think..."
"That...that's fine too."
Wen Shaoqing suddenly spoke, and Hua Xiangwan was startled. She turned around and saw Wen Shaoqing lowering his head, as if trying to convince her: "Then we...we each pursue our own future, you...you repair the golden elixir, and I get the position of palace master, and then we will be together!"
Wen Shaoqing seemed to have found a solution. He raised his head, full of hope: "I'll wait for you, and you'll wait for me too, okay? We can use them and be together."
Hua Xiangwan looked at him calmly, and Wen Shaoqing's eyes were full of pleading: "You promised me," he repeated over and over again, "You promised to stay with me forever. Ah Wan," he stretched out his hand excitedly, as if he wanted to hug her, "Don't leave me, don't..."
Before he could finish his words, a burst of spiritual power suddenly came and blasted Wen Shaoqing straight into the wall. Then a lightsaber flew towards him on the wall. Hua Xiangwan hurriedly stood up, raised her hand to blast the lightsaber away, and then turned around with Wen Shaoqing.
Xie Changji was wearing a single shirt with the collar open on his chest, and holding a long lamp in his hand that swayed in the wind.
He looked at Hua Xiangwan calmly and said coldly: "Get out of the way."
Hua Xiangwan didn't dare to give way. Wen Shaoqing panted and supported himself to stand up. He wiped the blood from the corner of his lips and said coldly: "Ah Wan, get out of the way, let him kill me."
As he spoke, he laughed: "I want to see if the Demon Lord can tolerate a man from Yunlai killing me in the Western Territory. He can destroy a sect with one sword and destroy the world in a hundred years. I want to see if he can massacre everyone in the Western Territory alone!"
"Stop talking!"
Hua Xiangwan noticed that Xie Changji was in a bad mood and scolded him softly, "Hurry up and leave."
Wen Shaoqing didn't move. He stared at Xie Changji: "Kill me, kill me. I will always live in her heart. Who do you think you are? How many years have you known her? I tell you, I have known her since I can remember. We have been together. We grew up together as childhood sweethearts..."
"Wen Shaoqing!"
"I was there for her in all her experiences, and what about you?"
"I accompanied her when she practiced swordplay in her youth, I accompanied her when she enjoyed supreme glory, I rescued her when she fell in the blood in Hehuan Palace, and I carried her to seek medical treatment when her meridians were all severed. Where were you at that time? Who do you think you are! Don't think that you can stay with her forever just because you force her to marry you."
Wen Shaoqing screamed: "You can't compare to me! You will never be able to compare to me!"
Xie Changji said nothing, the long lamp flickered. He looked at Wen Shaoqing and said, "Since you saved her, I will spare your life tonight."
"you……"
"Wen Shaoqing," Hua Xiangwan finally spoke, "If you don't leave," Hua Xiangwan turned to look at him, "I won't help you anymore."
When Wen Shaoqing heard this, he stood there in a daze.
Hua Xiangwan raised her hand towards him and said, "Give me back the token of Hehuan Palace."
This is what she gave him.
Wen Shaoqing listened to this and held his zither in silence.
Hua Xiangwan raised her voice: "Give it back to me!"
Wen Shaoqing didn't say anything. After a moment, he smiled and said, "Okay."
He reached out his hand, pulled off the Hehuan Palace token, and stared at Hua Xiangwan: "Hua Xiangwan, don't regret it."
After saying that, he threw the token hard to the ground and turned away.
"Also," he suddenly remembered something before leaving the courtyard, "today's news has been spread. On the day of your wedding," Wen Shaoqing turned around and smiled, "I will definitely come to watch the ceremony, and by the way, see the big gift someone gave you."
Hua Xiangwan didn't say anything. After Wen Shaoqing finished speaking, he walked away.
Xie Changji watched him walk away and his eyes fell on the token on the ground.
Hua Xiangwan felt a little embarrassed. She bent down and tried to pick up the token, but before she touched it, it turned to ashes in an instant.
Hua Xiangwan froze, realizing that Xie Changji must be angry.
Xie Changji lowered his eyes and said softly, "It's a cold and windy night, let's go back."
Hearing this, Hua Xiangwan nodded.
She followed Xie Changji, thought about it, and finally decided to apologize. After all, no matter what Xie Changji's reason was, what happened today was an insult to him.
"Well, I'm sorry, I didn't handle it properly and caused you trouble."
Xie Changji was silent, and Hua Xiangwan explained: "Shaoqing has a somewhat extreme personality, but he is actually a good person. He has helped me a lot over the years. I didn't expect him to be so reckless. I wanted to make things clear with him."
As they talked, they walked into the house.
The room was warm. Xie Changji put the lamp aside. Hua Xiangwan was almost sober. She also felt that what happened tonight was a bit embarrassing. She promised: "This will definitely not happen again in the future."
"Hua Xiangwan," Xie Changji suddenly spoke. He raised his eyes and looked at her calmly, "Is three years too short?"
Hua Xiangwan was a little confused. After a moment, she realized what he was talking about.
They lived together in Yunlai, and it took only three years from the time they met, got married, to parted.
She lowered her eyes and said gently, "For a cultivator, three hundred years is insignificant."
Let alone three years?
Xie Changji listened to this and lowered his eyes slightly.
The two of them were silent. Hua Xiangwan thought for a moment and turned to the bathroom: "I'll go wash up first."
"Hua Xiangwan." Xie Changji called her again. Hua Xiangwan turned around and saw the young man under the light.
His white shirt was open, revealing his broad chest. He looked like a piece of jade sculpture, without a single flaw.
Having practiced swordsmanship for many years, he is thin but strong. At this moment, he stands there quietly, and a unique masculine aura is blowing towards him.
"If you want to restore your golden elixir," he said calmly, "don't have anyone else."
Hua Xiangwan stared at him blankly, then saw Xie Changji raise his eyes and said, "No one is better than me."
