Hua Xiangwan fell into a drowsy sleep near dawn. When she woke up, she felt unwell. She lay on the bed whimpering and asked Xie Changji to massage her waist.

As long as Xie Changji was neatly dressed, he looked like an immortal who was not tainted by the worldly affairs. Sitting next to her and giving her a massage seemed like a blasphemy.

Hua Xiangwan lay on the bed and looked at Xie Changji, not understanding how this man could be so different. She was bored and reached for the jade pendant on Xie Changji's waist, saying slowly, "I never realized you were like this before..."

"Awan! Awan!"

Before he could finish his words, Hu Mian's voice was heard. They looked up and saw Hu Mian rushing into the room happily.

Seeing the two men's movements, Hu Mian paused at the door, his face slightly stiff. Xie Changji stood up and said, "I'm going to go out and practice swordplay first. You two can talk."

As he spoke, Xie Changji walked out the door and saluted as he passed by Hu Mian: "Senior Sister."

Hu Mian nodded hesitantly, and waited for Xie Changji to leave the room before walking to Hua Xiangwan. Seeing Hua Xiangwan lying on the bed, he said worriedly, "Ah Wan, don't always force Xie Daojun to do this. Even if you don't consider him, you should consider whether you can bear it."

Hearing this, Hua Xiangwan's eyes widened. She looked at Hu Mian in disbelief and gritted her teeth, "I forced him?"

"Chang Ji is a good boy who is chaste and restrained. If you don't drag him along, will he take the initiative?"

Hu Mian looked like he had seen through the world. He held Hua Xiangwan's hand and advised her earnestly, "I know you were unwilling to not get the chance to eat it two hundred years ago, but you can't be so vengeful now. There are no brothers or sisters to take care of you now..."

"Senior sister," Hua Xiangwan saw that she was getting more and more ridiculous, so she quickly interrupted her, "Stop talking nonsense. What do you want from me?"

"Oh, I just got some news," Hu Mian was asked about the business and became excited again: "Wen Rong and Qin Yunyi are fighting!"

"What?" Hua Xiangwan's waist and legs no longer hurt when he heard this. He immediately got up from the bed, sat on it, and said happily, "Did you break through?"

"At the critical moment, thunder struck Mingluan Palace, and all the monks near Mingluan Palace felt it."

Hu Mian said the news he just got: "Before, Minghuo absorbed the cultivation of the Yinyang Sect. Now, Mingluan Palace suddenly had a thunder tribulation of the tribulation period. Who else could it be except him? So Wen Rong immediately rushed over, but Qin Yunyi insisted that it was Mingluan Palace's own elders who were undergoing the tribulation. Wen Rong was helpless now. Both sides were frozen and went to find the Demon Lord."

Hua Xiangwan listened with an uncertain look on his face, and thought: "Can the Demon Lord... still take care of this matter now?"

"It's hard to explain." Hu Mian said the news she got, "No one knows the specific situation of the Demon Lord. Now Wen Rong and Qin Yunyi are making trouble, maybe they have the intention of investigating the situation of the Demon Lord."

"Where did you get this news?"

Hua Xiangwan nodded and asked about the source of the information. Qin Yunshang hadn't told her about this matter yet, but Hu Mian knew about it in advance?

Hu Mian answered directly: "Xue Zidan."

Hua Xiangwan was stunned and couldn't help but be even more surprised: "Xue Zidan? Why didn't he just send me a message directly?"

"He said he was afraid Xie Changji would chop him down."

After Hu Mian said this, Hua Xiangwan was speechless for a moment. She subconsciously wanted to say no, but then she remembered what Xie Changji had done and she lost confidence for a moment.

She paused for a moment and asked, "Where did he get the news?"

"He is now standing at the gate of Mingluan Palace, watching the excitement."

Hu Mian couldn't help laughing as he spoke: "Every time he sees something lively, he runs fast. In just two days, he has already run to the territory of Mingluan Palace."

Hua Xiangwan was not surprised by this. Hu Mian thought about it and became curious: "But it is also strange. Why did Ming Huo suddenly kill Wen Shaoqing? And Qin Yunyi was willing to offend Wen Rong for Ming Huo?"

Hua Xiangwan listened to Hu Mian's doubts, but did not say anything. After thinking for a while, he just said, "If you have nothing else to do, go and rest first. I need to get ready."

"Prepare for what?"

Hu Mian didn't understand, Hua Xiangwan smiled and said, "Get ready to meet the Demon Lord."

Hu Mian was stunned for a moment. After a while, there was a cry of an eagle outside the house. It was the spiritual messenger sent by the Demon Lord when he issued an order.

Hua Xiangwan got up from the bed, poured herself some water, and said, "Senior sister, you should have a good rest in the palace first. You can instruct the disciples when you have time. I will take a bath and change clothes first."

"Okay, I'll leave first." Hu Mian nodded, she stood up, waved and left.

Hua Xiangwan called her servants into the house, asked them to prepare her formal dress, and then went to the bathhouse to take a bath.

She had just stepped into the bathtub when she heard footsteps behind her. She knew who was coming, but she didn't turn around. When the person stood behind her, she raised her hands to wipe her body and asked, "What did the demon lord's spirit say?

"Wen Rong requested a public trial to deal with Ming Huo," Xie Changji half-knelt down and raised his hand to rub her back, "Tonight, the three palaces and nine sects of the Demon Palace will hold a public trial on this matter."

"Nothing else?"

"No." Xie Changji scooped water and poured it on her. "What are you going to do next?"

"It's almost time to close the net, just wait." Hua Xiangwan said nonchalantly, "Qin Yunyi and Wen Rong have had a grudge against each other for a long time. If Minghuo succeeds in overcoming the tribulation, she will definitely protect Minghuo."

"But Mingluan Palace may not want to protect Minghuo."

"But Wen Rong destroyed the Wulong Sect." Hua Xiangwan reminded Xie Changji, "The Wulong Sect is the most powerful sect of Mingluan Palace. Wen Rong was furious because the Wulong Sect used Wen Shaoqing to refine his corpse, so she slaughtered the sect. Mingluan Palace will not sit idly by."

"Mingluan Palace doesn't have enough evidence." Xie Changji reminded Hua Xiangwan, and Hua Xiangwan laughed, "As long as Qin Yunyi wants to protect Minghuo, she must kill Wen Rong. If she wants to kill Wen Rong, then Mingluan Palace will have evidence."

"And then? What is your ultimate goal?"

Hearing Xie Changji ask this question, Hua Xiangwan turned around and smiled: "Kill Wen Rong."

Xie Changji raised his eyes to look at her and said, "I can just kill her."

"No," Hua Xiangwan shook her head, placed her hands beside the pool, gently raised her upper body, and moved closer to Xie Changji, "I want Mingluan Palace to take action."

Xie Changji remained silent. He was thinking about what Hua Xiangwan wanted to do. Hua Xiangwan smiled and held his face with her hands: "Be good, Daojun."

"knew."

Xie Changji heard the warning, took a bath towel from the side, wrapped her up, and carried her out.

She dressed up and when she was ready, she took Lingnan, Lingbei, Xie Changji and others directly to the Demon Palace from the teleportation array.

Each sect has a teleportation array that directly connects to the main city of the Western Territory.

The teleportation array must be activated at two locations at the same time. There must be a teleportation point and a receiving point before it can be activated. The Demon Palace will not usually open the receiving array. It will only be opened when the Demon Lord gives the order himself.

As Hua Xiangwan and his companions came out of the teleportation array, they saw figures appearing one after another in the nearby teleportation arrays.

The heads of the three palaces and nine sects all rushed over. Hua Xiangwan took a look and whispered to Xie Changji, "They all came to see if the Demon Lord is dead or not."

As she spoke, she led Xie Changji and the others inside, and instructed them as they walked: "For a while, you must pretend that you have no feelings for me. We are just two sects that have formed an alliance. Don't let people think that we have a very close relationship."

"Young Master, you worry too much about this."

Lingnan heard Hua Xiangwan's words from behind and couldn't help but say, "Young Master, your face looks like you're not in a good mood."

Upon hearing this, Hua Xiangwan couldn't help but look at Xie Changji's face a few more times.

He has an immortal demeanor and is not tainted by the mundane world.

Not only does it seem incompatible with the Western Territory, it is also completely incompatible with the three words "good relationship".

Hua Xiangwan felt a little relieved. Before entering the main hall, she adjusted her state and showed a bit of sadness before leading everyone to the main hall.

There were two guards standing in front of the hall. When they saw the large group of people coming, the guards said coldly, "Young Master Hua, your followers are not allowed to enter the hall."

"I know." Hua Xiangwan glanced at the guard and took the initiative to pull Xie Changji over, "This is the young master of Hehuan Palace."

Upon hearing this, the guard took another look at Xie Changji, then immediately bowed and made way.

Xie Changji returned and held Hua Xiangwan's hand, his expression softening a little.

The two of them walked into the hall hand in hand. At this time, the hall was already full, with only the seat for the Wugu Sect remaining vacant.

All the people from the two palaces and nine clans were looking at them, but the two of them ignored everyone's gazes. Hua Xiangwan led Xie Changji up the stairs and sat in the seats occupied by the three palaces on the platform.

Xie Changji and Hua Xiangwan sat at the same table, Wen Rong sat next to Hua Xiangwan, and opposite them, Qin Fenglie and Qin Yunyi each had a seat, sitting on a high place.

The hall was in complete silence as everyone looked at the situation.

After a while, the door of the hall opened and someone shouted, "The Demon Lord is here—"

Upon hearing this, except for the rulers of the three palaces on the platform, the other nine clans all knelt on one knee and shouted loudly: "Demon Lord, long live the good health."

The entrance to the hall was empty, as if no one was there. After a while, a figure appeared behind the curtain high up, like a pile of quicksand, and was reflected on the curtain bit by bit.

His face could not be seen clearly, only a vague figure could be seen, wearing a wide robe, a jade crown, and what seemed to be a half mask on his face. He turned his face to the side, and the edges of the mask could be vaguely seen.

"Long time no see," the young man's voice echoed in the hall. It was impossible to tell where it came from. He was behind the curtain, gently turning his head, as if looking at Hua Xiangwan, "Ah Wan, how are you these days?"

Hearing this, Xie Changji slowly raised his head from the side and looked at the young man behind the curtain with a slightly cold gaze.

Hua Xiangwan smiled calmly and slightly bent her upper body as a greeting: "Thank you Lord Lao for your concern. Everything is fine."

"I heard that you got two blood orders," the young man said with a smile, and it was hard to tell the depth of his words, as if he was chatting with a friend, "I am really surprised."

"It was Lord Qingheng who helped me," Hua Xiangwan quickly evaded the question, and said anxiously, "I... I am just lucky."

"However, there are two more blood orders in Young Master Qin's hands," the young man looked away and turned to look at Qin Yunyi, "Ah Wan, your luck is probably coming to an end, right?"

"Of course," Hua Xiangwan lowered his eyes and immediately stated, "I dare not compete with Young Master Qin."

"Young Master Qin is praised by everyone as a living bodhisattva," the young man praised. "I heard that Young Master Qin is planning to save people again this time?"

"yes!"

Hearing the young man finally mention the main business, Wen Rong immediately became excited. She stood up and almost pointed her finger at the bridge of Qin Yunyi's nose, shouting angrily: "Ming Huo killed my son Shao Qing, the evidence is solid, but Young Master Qin refused to let me kill him. I wonder what Young Master's intention is?!"

"The leader of the Nine Sects dared to kill the young master of the Three Palaces."

The young man said with a smile: "You are really brave."

"Demon Lord."

Listening to the conversation between the two, Qin Yunyi finally stood up. She bowed respectfully and said calmly, "There are still many doubts about the murder of Young Master Wen. It was based on this consideration that Mingluan Palace did not hand over the murderer immediately."

"Suspicious points?"

The young man seemed to find it interesting: "What did Young Master Qin discover?"

"According to what I know, on the night when Young Master Wen was murdered, not only was Ming Huo on the Goddess Mountain, but Young Master Hua of the Hehuan Palace and his young master were also on the Goddess Mountain."

Hearing this, Hua Xiangwan turned around and saw Qin Yunyi smiling: "Why don't we let Young Master Hua talk about what happened that night?"
