He was not far from her.
He was standing and she was lying down; he was graceful and she was covered in dust.
The two of them interpreted the concepts of wolf and perfection to the fullest. Hua Xiangwan stared at each other in a daze, seeming a little surprised. After a moment, the other party finally turned his gaze towards her who was standing in front of him.
His eyes were covered by white silk, so she shouldn't be able to feel his sight. But for some reason, when he "looked" at her, Hua Xiangwan clearly felt a warning coming from him.
He who knows the current affairs is a hero. Almost instinctively, Hua Xiangwan rolled to the side to get out of the way, so as to avoid being killed by this Taoist who said "if anyone commits a crime, he will be killed without mercy".
Her action finally woke everyone up, and the disciples of the Tianjian Sect reacted instantly and their eyes lit up.
"Brother Wushuang!"
"Thank you, Senior Brother!"
Hearing this name, Hua Xiangwan, who was hiding aside, couldn't help but look up and take another look.
The young man's attire was very similar to Xie Changji's back then, as if all disciples of the Sword of the Heart wore blue robes and jade crowns. But perhaps because of his age, his temperament was even colder and more stern than Xie Changji's back then.
They are indeed a master and a disciple, with a common indifference, a common strength, and a common...ability to pretend.
In terms of grandeur, there are really few companies that can have such a grand appearance.
But she didn't dare to say these words out loud. She quietly hid aside, applied the medicine to herself skillfully, lowered her head and thought about something, trying to reduce her presence as much as possible.
After the disciples of the Tianjian Sect called out enthusiastically, Shen Xiuwen was the first to step forward, walked in front of the young man, bowed and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother."
As he spoke, he noticed the white silk on his face and asked in confusion: "Your eyes..."
"Place the disciples," Xie Wushuang did not answer his question. He faced forward and stretched out his hand to Shen Xiuwen, "Give me all the immortal ropes."
Shen Xiuwen was stunned for a moment, nodded blankly, and took out all the immortal-locking ropes he had brought with him from his Qiankun bag.
Xie Wushuang took it indifferently. Although his eyes were covered with white silk, he seemed unaffected by it. He leaped to a high place and disappeared.
Hua Xiangwan looked up at Xie Wushuang who had jumped to a high place, curious about what he was going to do. Shen Xiuwen came back to his senses and began to tell his disciples to sit down and bandage their wounds. Then he came to Hua Xiangwan and said rather awkwardly, "Young Master Hua, can I help you up?"
Hua Xiangwan heard Shen Xiuwen's voice and quickly came back to her senses.
Shen Xiuwen was willing to take the initiative to show his good will, so she had to respond quickly. Even though her face was covered in dust, she still maintained her composure and smiled softly. She looked extremely weak and whispered, "Thank you, Daojun."
It seemed that this was also the first time that Shen Xiuwen had such an intimate relationship with a female cultivator. He did not dare to look directly at Hua Xiangwan. He lowered his head and helped Hua Xiangwan to sit aside. He took out the medicine from his hand and said with some embarrassment: "There are no female cultivators among the disciples. If the young master does not mind, can I apply the medicine to the young master?"
Hua Xiangwan nodded, looking extremely reserved.
Shen Xiuwen's eyes fell on her. He first saw her blood-stained sleeves and said, "Offense." Then he rolled up Hua Xiangwan's sleeves and lowered his head to apply medicine.
He was very polite in his movements. He would not touch the wound even a little bit if he could avoid it. His eyes were always on the wound. It seemed like a crime to move half an inch away.
Hua Xiangwan observed him for a moment and felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward. She turned around and looked around, trying to find a topic to talk about: "What's your name?"
"Shen Xiuwen." Shen Xiuwen gave his name, raised his head and smiled shyly, "I am the master's disciple, ranked second, and I am in charge of the reception. If the young master has any needs, you can tell me."
Hua Xiangwan nodded and casually glanced at the direction where Xie Wushuang disappeared: "Was that your senior brother?"
"Yes," Shen Xiuwen couldn't help but speak with some respect when talking about Xie Wushuang, "That person is a disciple of Lord Qingheng, Brother Xie Wushuang."
"I think he is only at the Yuanying level," Hua Xiangwan asked, "but his sword power is very strong. Is he really just a Yuanying?"
"The power of the Sword of Heart-Searching cannot be judged by one's cultivation level." Shen Xiuwen treated Hua Xiangwan's wounds and began to apply medicine. Many of these wounds were caused by spells and could not be healed simply with spiritual power. While pouring the medicine powder, he explained, "Although Senior Brother Xie is only a Yuan infant, no one knows his true strength. We only know that he is very strong."
Hua Xiangwan nodded, and she understood. She looked up at the sky, quite curious: "I wonder what this Xie Daojun is doing."
"Maybe..."
Before Shen Xiuwen could finish his guess, a girl in red was tied up tightly and thrown down with a bang.
The girl fell in front of Hua Xiangwan and started wailing as soon as she landed. Shen Xiuwen and Hua Xiangwan were both shocked. Hua Xiangwan stared at the girl in front of her. Before she could say the word "Lingnan", she heard another "bang"!
This time, the one who fell down was Lingbei who was tied up. After he fell down, he started howling along with Lingnan: "It hurts, it hurts! My bones are broken, it hurts so much!!"
After a while, many people were thrown down from the sky with "bang bang bang". Most of these people were tied up with fairy ropes. They were all people from Hehuan Palace. When they fell to the ground one by one, they began to howl like ghosts, as if their bones were broken.
Hua Xiangwan looked at this group of people and swallowed. Just as she was thinking how tragic it was, she saw some black-clothed corpses without magic ropes being smashed down.
The bodies were thrown even more carelessly, some were face-down on the ground, some were directly pressed on top of other people, and they looked even more miserable than the people in Hehuan Palace.
Hua Xiangwan was so frightened that she dared not speak for a moment. Amidst the howling, Xie Wushuang finally reappeared. He landed from a great height, raised his hand and took out a pure white handkerchief from his sleeve, slowly wiped the blood off the long sword in his hand, and put the sword back into the scabbard.
This action made Hua Xiangwan a little dazed. She remembered that Xie Changji... seemed to have the same habit of doing this.
She couldn't help but glance at the white silk in the young man's hand. Jiang Yiran rushed over and said excitedly: "Brother Wushuang, it's a good thing you came. Before you left, you were called away by the Lord. We thought you were not coming."
“It’s coming.”
Xie Wushuang spoke in a very soft voice. As he spoke, he turned his head and "looked" at Hua Xiangwan who was being taken care of by Shen Xiuwen.
Seeing Xie Wushuang looking over, Hua Xiangwan quickly raised a friendly smile, and Shen Xiuwen immediately stood up to introduce Hua Xiangwan: "Senior Brother Xie, this is the Young Master Hua of Hehuan Palace..."
"Grab it."
When Xie Wushuang heard the word "Hehuan Palace", he gave the order without even listening to the rest.
Hua Xiangwan's smile froze on her face. Shen Xiuwen was also a little surprised, but Xie Wushuang didn't explain much. He turned and walked towards the canyon exit, ordering as he walked: "Take all these people with you and go to Zuixiang Town for interrogation."
Everyone stood there, not daring to speak. Xie Wushuang walked away by himself. After a long time, Jiang Yiran came over and whispered, "Senior Brother Shen, is he really tied up?"
"Since Senior Brother Xie did this, there must be a reason for it," Shen Xiuwen thought for a moment and nodded, "Take everyone with you."
As he spoke, Shen Xiuwen turned his head and looked at Hua Xiangwan: "Young Master Hua, I don't want to embarrass you, can you tie the Immortal Locking Rope yourself?"
"I believe... Lord Xie may have misunderstood us a little bit," Hua Xiangwan maintained the dignity that a young master of a palace should have, and calmly extended her hand, "But I am willing to sacrifice myself and take the bus."
Shen Xiuwen nodded, then tied her up mercilessly.
Looking at the rope that was tied tightly without any mercy, Hua Xiangwan: "..."
It must be that my appearance today was not beautiful enough.
In her heart, she greeted everyone in the Tianjian Sect, but on her face she showed a generous attitude and fully cooperated with the Tianjian Sect.
Everyone applied bandages and bandaged their wounds. After a short rest, the group of people were like exiled criminals. They were tied up with ropes by the hands and then tied into a string. They followed Shen Xiuwen towards Zuixiang Town.
Although the people from Hehuan Palace howled loudly, none of them were seriously injured. Hua Xiangwan was tied to Lingnan. She saw that the disciples from Tianjian Sect were far away, so she set up a small barrier, bumped into Lingnan in front of her, lowered her voice, and asked through gritted teeth: "What's going on? How did you do it?! You didn't even know that Mingluan Palace was following behind you?"
"No one can know this."
Lingnan was overwhelmed when he mentioned this: "The one who was coming was an ordinary disciple of Mingluan Palace. It was my fault that I didn't notice him. But young master, this was Qin Yunshang who actually came personally, brought her elite teachers thousands of miles from the Western Territory to Yunlai, and endured humiliation for so long to plan the assassination. No one can prevent this. You know what Qin Yunshang is capable of. If the elders don't show up, who in Hehuan Palace can prevent her?"
Hua Xiangwan was choked by these words, and felt a little guilty.
Qin Yunshang is the second young master of Mingluan Palace. She is also the legitimate young master of Hehuan Palace, but the gap between this young master and the young master is...
It’s quite big indeed.
No wonder she bullies others. Her elder sister stole her fiancé, and now her younger sister is trying to kill people.
What else can we do if we are not strong enough?
She didn't want to say anything more to Lingnan, so she changed the subject and asked, "What happened up there just now?"
"Qin Yunshang came over suddenly and cut off our voice transmission. We had already started fighting up there, but we couldn't notify you. Qin Yunshang's target was the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect and you, and she didn't kill us. Then that guy," Lingnan pointed at Xie Wushuang in front of him, "that Xie Wushuang came, Qin Yunshang and the others ran away, Xie Wushuang chased us, and we ran too, and then this guy opened a sword formation, I thought the situation was not right, and we couldn't really fight the Heavenly Sword Sect, so we quickly asked everyone to stop, and then he tied us up with immortal ropes and threw us down."
"What about Mingluan Palace?" Hua Xiangwan asked, and Lingnan became happy.
"Those who escaped have escaped, and those who didn't escape are all dead. This Xie Daojun is really decisive. He killed them one by one with one sword. He is more skillful than us Western Territory people."
Compared to Yunlai, who pursues "morality" and is bound by the Immortal Alliance, the Western Territory, which pursues "power" more, has much fewer constraints than Yunlai, which also leads to the mixing of various cultivators. In Yunlai's eyes, many Western Territory cultivators are no different from demon cultivators.
One of the reasons why the monks from the Western Territory have always looked down upon the Yunlai in the past is that they think these Yunlai monks are indecisive, have no blood, have never seen the world, and rely entirely on the protection of the sect and stick together for warmth.
But now Xie Wushuang has amazed everyone in Hehuan Palace, and they can't help but have some respect for the Tianjian Sect.
Hua Xiangwan listened to Lingnan's words and thought about what happened tonight.
Qin Yunshang is a young master, even if she is only the second young master, she is still in a high position of power. He came all the way from the Western Territory just to destroy her marriage with the Heavenly Sword Sect, or to kill her?
The Western Territory is currently at a critical juncture in the struggle for power. Although Qin Yunyi is engaged to Wen Shaoqing, the engagement is not so stable. After all, Hua Xiangwan was also engaged to Wen Shaoqing before, but he ran away. Now that Qin Yunshang has rushed to the Western Territory, what does she mean by saying "How dare you come to Yunlai to seek death at this time"?
Qin Yunshang's purpose is unclear, and there is also this Xie Wushuang...
He should have seen that the He Huan Sect had set up a trap. I wonder what he would think about this matter. When she arrived at Zui Xiang Town, how would she explain it to the disciples of the Tian Jian Sect? And the white silk on his eyes and...
Her eyes were slightly dim, with all kinds of questions swirling in her mind. However, Lingnan was completely unaware of the difficulties they were facing. She poked Hua Xiangwan and continued chatting.
"Young Master, Lingbei asked me to discuss something with you."
Hua Xiangwan was getting impatient and looked up at her: "What?"
"Lingbei and I have just taken a good look and helped you lock on the target."
"Target?"
Hua Xiangwan didn't understand, and saw Lingnan raised his hand and quietly pointed at Xie Wushuang in front of him: "Just go after Xie Wushuang, he's the best looking and the strongest. Young Master, you have to work hard during these few days." Lingnan's eyes were filled with the confidence of winning, "Take him down!"
