Water dripped from his body, flowing to the ground and mixing with his blood.

Hua Xiangwan stared at the person in front of her, smiling but with a cold expression, but her heart was like a taut bowstring, and she clenched her fists silently.

She couldn't let him stay here for too long. The longer he stayed, the easier it would be for him to notice her changes.

"Shouldn't I come?"

Xie Changji spoke up affirmatively, and Hua Xiangwan chuckled, "Of course."

"Why?"

"The two sects have formed an alliance," Hua Xiangwan said with some regret, "I still want to maintain some dignity in front of Lord Qingheng."

"The two sects have formed an alliance," Xie Changji heard this, with a hint of mockery in his eyes, "Do you still think so?"

"What else?" Hua Xiangwan was puzzled. "Could it be that there is something else between me and Shangjun?"

Xie Changji clenched his sword tightly, stared at Hua Xiangwan, and said in a hoarse voice: "Don't talk like that."

"It's really hurtful to say that."

Hua Xiangwan sighed, with a bit of helplessness: "I wanted to continue to be harmonious with Shangjun, but Shangjun didn't want to and insisted on chasing me, so I could only tell the truth."

"Tell me the truth..." Xie Changji repeated, his eyes moving to the sword in Hua Xiangwan's hand, "Have you ever told me the truth?"

Hua Xiangwan's heart trembled slightly. She felt that he might know something, but after a moment, she smiled and said, "Maybe I lied before, but today, everything is true."

Xie Changji listened to this and looked at her with cold eyes: "So, your truth is, apart from the sect, you and I have nothing else."

"nature."

"You don't need me."

"All I need is the Heavenly Sword Sect."

"You're not interested."

"That's natural." Hua Xiangwan raised her head slightly and said affirmatively, "Xie Changji, I won't be tempted by someone who has let go."

Xie Changji said nothing. He closed his eyes and said in a low voice, "You are still lying to me."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door behind him slammed shut, and a cold wind blew around him.

Hua Xiangwan had a feeling that something was wrong. Looking at his movements, she involuntarily pointed her sword at the ground in front of her. The movement seemed random, but it protected her vital parts.

"What?"

Hua Xiangwan smiled cautiously: "You won't fight me over this?"

Xie Changji did not respond. The cloth strips swirled around his sword and fell off, revealing the sharp blade.

"Since you don't want to say it," Bingxue walked forward from under Xie Changji's feet, and the Tribulation Period barrier opened around him. Xie Changji suddenly closed his eyes, "Then I will tell you."

The moment he finished speaking, he swung his sword and rushed towards her!

Hua Xiangwan stared at the sword intent coming at her face with wide eyes. It was the first time she faced Xie Changji's unreserved sword intent at the Tribulation Crossing Stage. She felt as if the whole space was wrapped in an aura of ice and snow, like a mountain collapsing. She didn't dare to take it head-on. She quickly stepped back on her toes and said in a hurry, "Xie Changji!"

Xie Changji did not respond, but the swords came like a dense rain of needles, blocking all her escape routes.

She had no power to resist and could only passively take on all his sword moves.

She must be as fast as he is. If she makes the slightest mistake, the tip of the sword will immediately pierce through her whole body!

The impenetrable swift swords left her no chance to breathe. After taking hundreds of sword strikes in an instant, she began to feel a dull pain in her veins.

Her sword skills had not yet reached their peak when she was fighting against those trash from the Wugu Sect, but now facing a top master like Xie Changji, she might not have been able to fight him even in her prime. Now that her muscles and veins have just recovered, how can she have the strength to fight back?

She quickly realized that if she continued like this, she would be exhausted to death by Xie Changji in the end, so she simply used her spiritual power to shock the sword, and the sword body immediately became soft, and wrapped around Xie Changji's sword like a spirit snake, restricting Xie Changji's movements. Xie Changji raised the sword without hesitation, and Hua Xiangwan followed his strength, did a somersault in the air, and simply dropped the sword and jumped away!

The moment Xie Changji shattered her sword, Hua Xiangwan had already leaped far away. Talismans from her sleeves rained out and surrounded Xie Changji. Then she leaped towards the teleportation array not far away!

She had no chance of winning a fight with Xie Changji, so she might as well just run away.

Sensing her intention, Xie Changji's eyes turned cold, and the spiritual energy around him surged instantly. He swung his sword across like a crescent moon, and the pure white sword light blasted open the talisman and attacked Hua Xiangwan next to the teleportation formation!

When Hua Xiangwan saw the sword light, she could no longer hide for a moment. The spiritual power in her body exploded, and she suddenly pulled out the long-sealed "Xun Qing" from her Qiankun bag, and chopped down with the sword to meet his sword intent!

The two swords collided with each other, cutting the ground teleportation array directly in half. Xie Changji did not give Hua Xiangwan any chance to breathe and immediately drew his sword. The second sword was like a white dragon. Hua Xiangwan knew that she could not dodge in time, so she used offense as defense and collided fiercely with Xie Changji.

Her knuckles were shaken and bleeding, and the two of them were facing each other, almost sticking together through their swords.

"Want to kill me?"

Hua Xiangwan was provoked to fight, and couldn't help laughing: "Why, do you think I killed innocent people and want to attack me?"

"Your spiritual power is fully functioning, and your cultivation has reached the peak of the Spiritual Transformation Realm. You are only half a step away from transcending the tribulation."

The swords crossed each other, and the sound of eagles and birds roared in the hall.

Xie Changji calmly stated the result he wanted, and Hua Xiangwan immediately knew his intention of drawing the sword.

The swords clashed with each other, and each of them brought great strength to their swords. Hua Xiangwan's eyes were slightly cold, and his tone was mocking: "So what?"

"You don't need a dual cultivation master, nor do you need to come to the Heavenly Sword Sect to ask for a marriage. You came to Yunlai for another purpose."

The swords collided fiercely, and the two men were pushed apart by the force. After landing, they fought again without stopping for a moment.

"You and Qin Yunshang knew each other, so the ambush when you first met was your plan, in order to make the Tianjian Sect suspicious of you but unsure, so that we could take you to find the Lingxu Secret Realm. You were afraid that we would send you back to the Tianjian Sect directly."

Hua Xiangwan's eyes turned cold, his sword movements quickened, and he threw fireballs one after another with his left hand.

Xie Changji was calm, dodging her sword and magic circle, and continued to tell the lies she had told: "Then you found out that Xie Wushuang was possessed by a demon, and wanted to use the Seal of Confusing Mind to confuse Xie Wushuang's mind and make him work for you. With Xie Wushuang's cultivation level, you would be detected if you took action directly. Only when he took the initiative to place the Seal of Entering Dreams on his body would it be easier for you to place the Seal of Confusing Mind that you really wanted to place on him. So you deliberately lured Shen Xiuwen and placed the Seal of Entering Dreams on him so that Xie Wushuang could see it."

"Afterwards, you deliberately let Qin Yunshang kick you into the Du'e Realm when the Lingxu Secret Realm was opened, forcing Xie Wushuang to save you. Then you became possessed in the Du'e Realm to delay time, forcing Xie Wushuang to be seriously injured."

Hearing this, Hua Xiangwan's heart beat rapidly.

Did he guess it?

He should have guessed it.

In the secret realm, he saw Qin Yunshang and her acquaintance, and learned that she had inherited all her mother's spiritual power. He was still Xie Wushuang himself...

With his intelligence, if he took action now, he would be able to see that she was deliberately attacked by Qin Yunshang in Yunlai in order to delay the time of "Xie Wushuang", and she herself did not need to get married, so the purpose of going to Yunlai was obvious.

Now that he knew, he would definitely kill her today.

Two hundred years ago, he chose justice for all mankind, and the same is true today.

But she can't die.

The construction of Hehuan Palace has just begun, she can’t die at this time!

Realizing this, she gritted her teeth and poured all her spiritual power into the sword, then slashed fiercely at Xie Changji's sword.

Xie Changji noticed that her sword was too powerful, so he immediately dropped the sword in his right hand and pulled out the sword from the air with his left hand. The Sword of Questioning Heart swept out and collided violently with Xunqing. The two swords intersected in mid-air. Xie Changji used the Sword of Questioning Heart to restrain Xunqing, thus restricting the movements of both of them, and neither of them could move.

The blood from Hua Xiangwan's hand flowed down the sword, and her whole body was shaking with pain.

She gritted her teeth and made up her mind.

She can use it to find love.

Since she can use Xunqing, then maybe she can open the seal of the Soul-Locking Lamp. Gui Ling used the Heart-Questioning Sword and the Soul-Locking Lamp to seal it together. After her blood transfusion, she could no longer sense her own and Xie Changji's magic weapons, but now that she can use Xunqing, she may be able to open the seals of these two.

No matter if she can do it or not, she has to give it a try!

Her blood was flowing rapidly, and she attacked Xie Changji with a palm, chanting a spell at the same time, trying to unlock the seal of the Soul-Locking Lamp.

Realizing what she was about to do, Xie Changji did not hesitate, he pulled her into his arms and kissed her fiercely.

The magic circle hit him, and he groaned, pressing Hua Xiangwan against an altar used for worship behind him.

Hua Xiangwan didn't expect him to do such a thing at this time, and her eyes widened in shock.

"I know. I know everything."

He kissed her, and with his left hand he suddenly exerted force, entwining the two swords together. Hua Xiangwan felt pain and let go, and he removed the two swords and threw them aside.

She hit him with the hand that was not holding the sword, but he held her hand down, pressed her to the altar and kissed her deeply, while grabbing her belt and tearing it off.

There was a sound of tearing cloth and a chill came over. Hua Xiangwan seized the opportunity, grabbed Xunqing from the side, and decisively pressed him against Xie Changji's neck.

He also stopped his action at the same time, and the troops were at the gate of the city.

The two looked at each other silently. Hua Xiangwan was breathing rapidly, and the hand holding the sword was dripping with blood and trembling slightly.

The statue of the union of Yin and Yang stood not far away, looking down at the two people confronting each other. Xie Changji was held against the sword, his expression calm, and he moved forward little by little, completely possessing her.

"You can kill me."

He spoke calmly, blood oozing from his neck and dripping onto her face.

Hua Xiangwan clearly felt the touch of flesh being cut by the sword. If she moved a little further, she would be able to completely cut his blood vessels. With a little more force, she would be able to cut his throat.

His pain intertwined with hers. She tightly grasped the hilt of her sword. She clearly sensed what she had let go. She gritted her teeth and shouted in a low voice, "Get out."

But he didn't listen. Instead, he leaned over calmly and approached her with a calm and frightening obsession.

"But you won't."

"What do you want to do?"

Hua Xiangwan felt his slow movements and smiled provocatively, "Is this what you want to do?"

"You always lie," he put his lips close to hers and gently touched his forehead to hers, "so, I'll take a look myself."

The moment he finished speaking, his spiritual power suddenly poured into the place where they made contact. Hua Xiangwan realized what he was going to do, and without hesitation, he swung the long sword in his hand towards his neck and shouted angrily: "Let go!"

However, Xie Changji moved faster. He grabbed her wrist with one hand and pressed her hard onto the altar.

Xunqing hit the altar and rolled down. He hugged her tightly, like a giant python encircling its prey, coiling and strangling the prey in its body.

She couldn't struggle free and could only feel the spiritual energy flowing into her veins, pouring into her golden elixir, passing through her half-broken golden elixir, and flowing throughout her body.

His consciousness probed into her sea of ​​consciousness, and Hua Xiangwan felt as if her sea of ​​consciousness exploded. The two seas of consciousness overlapped, and two little white figures met in the sea of ​​consciousness.

When the two babies meet, it is the closest to the true existence, as if there is a kind of gravity, naturally attracting each other and then entangled.

The little figures embraced each other in the sea of ​​consciousness, and then moved as if they were two bodies.

Double senses exploded in his sea of ​​consciousness and all over his body. Hua Xiangwan tilted his neck back and grabbed Xie Changji tightly, leaving bloody marks.

Only when the Yuan and the infant merge can the two be considered to have formed a covenant. After the covenant is formed, the sea of ​​consciousness becomes unobstructed and immediately expands without limit, revealing all territories in front of both parties.

Xie Changji's soul went straight into her sea of ​​consciousness, passing through layers of overlapping memories, and began to look for the location he sensed.

Hua Xiangwan struggled, he stared ahead, holding her down tightly, until finally, he saw a barrier standing not far away.

"Here."

He spoke calmly, swung his sword fiercely, and the barrier shattered instantly.

Hua Xiangwan shuddered violently, and then both of them saw clearly that a huge elliptical sphere wrapped in blood lit up in the void deep in her sea of ​​consciousness.

This sphere is like a heart, with blood vessels crisscrossing and beating clearly. The seal formed by the Sword of the Heart and the Soul-Locking Lamp is flowing around the sphere.

Hua Xiangwan took the opportunity, kicked him hard away, then turned around and ran away.

He dragged her back, held her in his arms, and pressed himself against her again, saying in a calm tone, "The ghost is here with you."

"Let go!"

"So you're afraid of me."

"I didn’t!"

"You didn't let me come with you because you were afraid that I would know your strength and know that you actually didn't go to the Heavenly Sword Sect."

He seemed to be punishing her, and he became more violent.

"You don't want to get involved with me, and you don't want me to stay in the Western Territory. You're afraid that I'll find out that the ghost spirit is here with you."

"You lied to me. You lied to me all the way."

Hua Xiangwan said nothing, she knew that denying it was meaningless.

"Since you know that," Hua Xiangwan's whole body was surging like water, and sweat flowed down her hair to her neck. She held the altar in front of her and said calmly, "Then you won't kill me?"

Xie Changji listened to her words, inserted his fingers between hers, interlaced his fingers, and pressed them on the altar, as if taking an oath.

"I will never kill you."

"Even if I take the Lu Ling and become the Lord of the Lu Ling in the future?" She turned her head to look at him and mocked him, "The Lu Ling can give people the most powerful power, but it can also control people's minds. If I really unlock the seal of the Lu Ling, I will lose my mind and kill innocent people," she stared at him, "you really won't kill me?"

"will not."

Xie Changji pinched her jaw and kissed her: "There will never be such a day."

"I will accompany you. I will help you kill whoever you want to kill. I will help you to take revenge. I will help you to take the position of Demon Lord. I will help you to revitalize Hehuan Palace and wait for its prosperity with you."

"You will never, ever need a ghost spirit."

Hearing this, Hua Xiangwan's heart trembled slightly, but her eyes were extremely calm. She realized something and gritted her teeth to remind him.

"Xie Changji, this is a private affair."

"yes."

He slowly opened his eyes, and like a mountain pine or cypress, he protected her behind him and frankly admitted, "To you, I have a private relationship."

"What about your Tao?"

Hua Xiangwan suddenly raised her voice and asked urgently: "You have been practicing Taoism for two hundred years, and you are only one step away from ascending to heaven. You have a private relationship with me, so where is your Taoism?!"

Xie Changji did not respond. He stared at her, as if he wanted to see through everything from her eyes.

When he was speechless, Hua Xiangwan smiled, feeling that she had won again: "You see, you are a liar. If you really liked me, how could you stand in front of me so peacefully? You just couldn't bear to kill me, and you were afraid that the evil spirit would be born, so you came up with an excuse to lie to me. Why bother?"

There was some stubbornness in her eyes: "If I really let the ghost spirit come out, you can just kill me. You don't have to force yourself to kill for me, and you don't have to force yourself to practice dual cultivation with me. I know you are a saint, and you are wholeheartedly seeking your own path, so just go for it, why lie to me? You said you like me, how much do you like me? Go back to Yunlai, and if you want to kill me in the future, come back and kill me, don't give me too much..."

Before she could finish her words, he suddenly kissed her, blocking her from saying anything.

Hua Xiangwan elbowed back, but he went one step further and grabbed her tightly, pressing her into his arms.

Hua Xiangwan struggled even harder. He kissed her and pressed her against the altar, interlacing their fingers.

In an instant, countless memories came flooding back in his sea of ​​consciousness.

She watched the young man's cultivation fade away, watched the thunder roar down, watched him holding the peach blossom in his hand.

She saw him slash Wen Shaoqing with his sword, deliberately kill Yun Qingxu, and deliberately kill Wu Mei.

Watching him mix his blood with her every night, watching him make love with her in the snow and ice of his dreams...

She stared at the images, frozen in place.

"Did you see it?"

Xie Changji's movements were proportional to the intensity of his memories. He whispered in her ear: "I'm not a saint—"

He panted, "There is no saint like me in this world."

"I didn't kill for you, I killed for myself."

"I practice dual cultivation not only for you, but also for myself."

"I think about you all the time. I want to desecrate you, occupy you, and possess you. I want everything about you to merge with me. I want your flesh and blood to be shaped by me, your golden elixir to be born for me, your spiritual power, everything about you... all to belong to me."

"Flowers to the evening."

He suddenly pulled away, picked up the stunned Hua Xiangwan, placed her on the altar, then pulled her down from the altar and merged with her again.

Hua Xiangwan bit her lip to hide her moan, and stared at the young man standing at the edge of the altar in front of her.

The light fell on her body, which looked like it was carved from white jade, and it glowed softly. He looked up at her, his eyes filled with a frenzied calm, as devout as if he was looking at his own god.

"I am not the Xie Changji in your heart."

As he spoke, he moved closer to her, got close to her face, and raised his hand to cover the back of Hua Xiangwan's head.

"I know you won't love me like this."

He put force on his hands, and Hua Xiangwan resisted secretly, but was still forced by him to move her lips closer and closer to his.

She belonged to him completely, and her teeth were chattering slightly.

The Yin and Yang God of Harmony led all the gods above, and among the thousands of flickering candles, he lowered his head and looked down at the blasphemous young man in the hall.

He closed his eyes and murmured, "But I love you."
