After hearing this, Su Luoming remained silent. Qin Yunyi waited patiently for Su Luoming. After a long time, Su Luoming said slowly, "Thank you, Young Master Qin, for telling me this. I will discuss this with the sect. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first."

"Farewell, Master Su."

Qin Yunyi saluted.

The light and shadow in front of him dissipated. In the Tianjian Sect, Su Luoming opened his eyes. Kunxuzi looked at Su Luoming nervously: "What's the news from the Western Territory?"

"Mingluan Palace's Young Master Qin Yunyi said that the ghost spirit is with Hua Xiangwan." Su Luoming looked worried, "but Changji never told us about this."

Kunxuzi was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly said: "Back then, Hua Xiangwan and Yun Ting sealed the Gu Ling together. The Gu Ling is with her..."

"It's not Hua Xiangwan that I'm worried about."

Su Luoming turned to look at Kunxuzi: "You know what I am worried about."

Kunxu pursed his lips upon hearing this and said, "Changji...there is no way anything could go wrong."

"You said that nothing could go wrong with him," Su Luoming looked at Kunxuzi, "was it because of fate or because of your understanding of him?"

Kunxuzi fell silent, Su Luoming sighed, he walked out of the hall and looked up at the movement of the stars in the sky.

"When he was born, strange phenomena appeared in the sky. Yun Ting obtained instructions from the Sword of the Heart and fortune-telling, and finally confirmed his location, and asked you to travel thousands of miles to find him. Unlike the masters of the Sword of the Heart in previous generations, he is not a sword body, but a void body. He is born heartless and can easily merge with any sword soul, but you and I know -"

Su Luoming turned to look at Kunxuzi: "He is not only the best practitioner of the Sword of Questioning the Heart, but if there is a difference in his thoughts, he is also the best container for the Ghost Spirit. He can destroy the realm of life and death..."

It can also destroy the world of cultivation.

One thought makes you a Buddha, one thought makes you a devil.

The most powerful sword of the Heavenly Sword Sect has no scabbard. Even the Heavenly Sword Sect itself would be afraid of it.

Kunxuzi listened and knew that Su Luoming was right, but he still insisted on speaking: "But he is Changji."

The sect taught Xie Changji, who was upright and concerned about the Way of Heaven, since he was young.

"Moreover," Kunxuzi raised his head, looking serious, "he had chosen the realm of life and death back then."

His master, his fellow disciples, and his wife, faced with the choice between sealing the ghost spirit to save the world and saving themselves, he had already made his choice.

Su Luoming listened, lowered his eyes, and after thinking for a moment, he sighed: "Let's ask him first."

As he spoke, Su Luoming turned his hand, and golden powder flew out from the Tianjian Sect. After a while, Xie Changji felt his master calling him.

At this time, Hua Xiangwan was still absorbing the spiritual energy from the surroundings, with clouds of disaster swirling above his head.

Jiao Yu escorted the Wen clan members to Hehuan Palace, while Gong Shang stayed in Qingle Palace. The three elders cooperated with Jiao Yu and Gong Shang to build a teleportation formation between the two palaces.

Hu Mian led his men to begin to deploy defenses. The three palaces were busy, and the lights were on everywhere.

Feeling the call from his master, Xie Changji slowly opened his eyes on the Yunfu Tower.

He looked at Hua Xiangwan in the formation in front of him. Her breathing was steady and her spiritual power was flowing smoothly. After confirming that there was no problem, he set up a barrier for her, then raised his hand and wiped the void, and the figures of Su Luoming and Kun Xuzi appeared in front of him.

When Xie Changji saw the elder, he remained calm and nodded, "Master, Uncle Master."

"Changji," Kunxuzi looked a little worried when he saw Xie Changji, "How is the Western Territory now? Are you okay?"

"It's good."

Xie Changji reported truthfully: "Wanwan is trying to overcome the tribulation."

"I heard about it."

After hearing Xie Changji's report on Hua Xiangwan's situation, Su Luoming calmed down a little and said directly, "Qin Yunyi came to see me just now."

Xie Changji paused, and looked up at Su Luoming. Su Luoming stared at him, frowning slightly: "She told me that the ghost spirit is here with Hua Xiangwan, is this true?"

Xie Changji didn't say anything. As soon as he heard Su Luoming's words, he knew the purpose of Su Luoming and Kunxuzi's visit.

He subconsciously tightened the Sword of Conscience on his knees. As soon as Su Luoming and Kunxuzi saw his expression, they knew the answer.

"Why didn't you tell your master?" Su Luoming stared at him. "You know that the Gu Ling is the top priority of the Tianjian Sect. Since you have already discovered that the Gu Ling is here with Hua Xiangwan, why don't you tell us?"

"I told you," Xie Changji looked at Su Luoming and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Hearing this, Su Luoming was stunned. He was a little surprised that Xie Changji would ask such a question. After a moment, he frowned and said patiently, "Of course, we should bring the ghost spirit back to the Tianjian Sect to seal it, or find some way to eliminate it."

"How to eliminate it?"

Xie Changji continued to ask, and Su Luoming and Kunxuzi understood what he meant in an instant. Kunxuzi thought for a moment and explained, "Changji, we are not going to kill Young Master Hua. Young Master Hua is your wife, and the sect will not do such a thing. You can bring Young Master Hua back to the Tianjian Sect and guard her in the realm of life and death, and we can think of a solution together."

“So I won’t tell you.”

Xie Changji gave the answer, but Kunxuzi and Su Luoming didn't understand. Su Luoming restrained his emotions and only asked: "Can't we bring her back too?!"

"She wants revenge." Xie Changji said calmly, "Two hundred years ago, the sects in the Western Territory joined forces to force Hehuan Palace into a dead end, causing her tendons and veins to be severed, her golden elixir to be half shattered, and all her relatives and friends to die. She has not yet avenged her great vengeance, and I cannot bring her back."

"Is this the reason why she wanted to snatch the ghost spirit?"

Su Luoming quickly responded: "You want to rely on the power of the evil demon for your own selfish reasons? Chang Ji, who would snatch the spirit of the devil and worship the devil without their own reasons? But if she releases the spirit of the devil, can she really control it?"

“So here I am.”

Xie Changji spoke up for sure. He looked at Su Luoming quietly and said, "I'll stay with her."

"Did she keep it?" Su Luoming stared at him and asked, "Did she use the Ghost Spirit?"

Xie Changji was speechless. Looking at Xie Changji's expression, Su Luoming understood the result. He stared at Xie Changji and asked, "Changji, if one day she releases the ghost spirit and is manipulated by the ghost spirit, becoming a generation of evil demon and killing innocent people, what will you do?"

Xie Changji lowered his eyes and saw that he didn't say anything. Su Luoming took a deep breath and asked again: "Then let me change the question. If one day, you need to choose between Hua Xiangwan and the people of the world, what will you choose?"

"People in the world..." Xie Changji listened to this and gently brushed the long sword across his knees, "What does it have to do with me?"

Hearing this, Su Luoming's eyes widened.

"I have been taught since I was young, following the advice of my elders, abstaining from sex, guarding my body, controlling myself, and upholding morality."

Xie Changji said calmly, "So, when my master sacrificed his blood to the Sword of Questioning the Heart, I did not stop him. When my fellow disciples died to stop the evil demon, I did not try to stop them. When Wan Wan jumped into the sea of ​​demons, I did not save him. In the end, all my relatives and friends died, and I was left alone. I had to guard the boundary between life and death to protect all living things."

Xie Changji raised his eyes slowly as he spoke, and looked at the two people in front of him calmly, with a questioning look in his eyes: "But why do I have to do this?"

"Maintaining the righteous path is our responsibility!"

Su Luoming opened his mouth hastily, wanting to scold him, but Xie Changji remained calm and only asked, "Why?"

"Eternal Silence," Kunxuzi listened to this, staring at the young man in front of him and asking, "Is this what you realized in the Western Territory?"

"No," Xie Changji shook his head and said, "This is just my confusion for the past two hundred years."

"So, back then, when you chose to give up saving Wanwan and die with your master to seal the ghost spirit, it was not what you wanted in your heart?"

Kunxuzi stared at Xie Changji, and Xie Changji recalled carefully.

He couldn't describe his mood at that moment.

Wasn't it his choice?

If he had to do it again, would he really not make this choice?

He lowered his eyes: "I don't know, so this time-"

Xie Changji paused and said, "I want to choose Wanwan."

"Whether he becomes a god or a demon, or follows the righteous path or the evil path, all I want is for Hua Xiangwan to live well."

"What if Hua Xiangwan abandons you?"

Hearing this, Su Luoming was furious. He raised his voice: "What if she used you, she didn't care about you at all, and she didn't do what you wanted?! Or she died..."

"impossible."

Xie Changji interrupted him, he raised his eyes, his clear eyes were tinged with a hint of dark red.

"She won't die," Xie Changji stared at Su Luoming. Su Luoming was shocked by the dark red in his eyes. He emphasized, "It doesn't matter if she uses her or doesn't care. She said," Xie Changji said solemnly, "She loves Xie Changji every night."

That's enough.

She had loved him, so he could hold on to that little bit of love and stay by her side forever.

This is his punishment and also his disaster.

"Chang Ji," Kun Xuzi observed his condition and said calmly, "Is this really what you think?"

Xie Changji said nothing.

Kunxuzi frowned and reminded in a deep voice: "Changji, you are not breaking your heart and changing your path, you are falling from the path."

“Maybe.”

Xie Changji said calmly: "But this is all my way, isn't it?"

As he spoke, Hua Xiangwan's spiritual energy was already full. Thunder roared in the sky. Xie Changji raised his eyes and looked at the mural of the Yin and Yang God carved on the top of the Yunfu Tower.

The Yin and Yang God of Joy, one body with two bodies, the union of man and woman, each other's yin and yang, the superposition of light and darkness.

The thunderbolt roared down, first striking the Yunfu Tower's magic circle. The Wenxin Sword Intention followed the magic circle to bear the thunderbolt, and the entire Yunfu Tower was illuminated by lightning.

The Yunfu Tower was shaken by the thunderbolt, and the tower body trembled violently. Then, hurried footsteps were heard from outside. Sui Wen, a disciple of the Tianjian Sect, rushed in from outside the door and shouted hurriedly: "Shangshou, Mingluan Palace has brought people! They have brought five people in the Tribulation Crossing Stage!"

After hearing this, Xie Changji stood up calmly and turned to go outside.

Su Luoming reacted suddenly and said anxiously: "Eternal Silence!"

"Changji feels ashamed of his master," Xie Changji said calmly, with his back to Su Luoming and Kunxuzi, "I will leave today. I will allow the 100 disciples to evacuate safely and return to the sect in full. What Xie Changji does in the Western Territory in the future will have nothing to do with the Tianjian Sect."

After saying this, Xie Changji walked away. Kunxuzi and Su Luoming watched the scene in front of them disappear, and were so shocked that they were speechless.

After a moment, Su Luoming suddenly reacted, "No, Chang Ji's situation is not right. How could a person destined by the Sword of Questioning the Heart fall from grace?! I want to open the Destiny Formation." Su Luoming calmed down a little and walked out, "I will go find Elder Tianji and open the Destiny Formation to predict the cause and effect."

"I have to go to the West."

Kunxuzi spoke calmly, thinking: "I want to go and see Changji in person. You inform Suiwen," Kunxuzi raised his eyes, "no matter what happens in the future, Changji is still a disciple of Tianjian Sect, so we have to take care of him, let Suiwen see the situation and help Changji. I'm leaving first."

After making the arrangements, Kunxuzi raised his hand to summon his sword, and Yujian stood up and left.

Su Luoming stood there in a daze for a moment, then scratched his hair in pain: "What is going on?"

Xie Changji cut off all ties with the Tianjian Sect and walked out of the Yunfu Tower.

Sui Wen heard what he and Kunxuzi Su Luoming had just said, and he felt a little nervous: "Sir..."

"You and Changsheng take the other disciples to hide in Hehuan Palace first."

Xie Changji had a calm expression as he led Sui Wen downstairs: "When Young Master Hua successfully transcends the tribulation, I will send you off."

"Sir..." Sui Wen looked hesitant. After a moment, he asked, "Why..."

"Go and rest."

Knowing what he was going to ask, Xie Changji interrupted him and said, "Take care of the other disciples and tell them not to panic."

As he spoke, Xie Changji raised his hand and summoned the sword, which left and headed straight for the city gate.

When we arrived in front of the tower, we saw that the Hehuan Palace's battle formation had already begun. Not far away, the Mingluan Palace's spirit boat was hanging high in the sky, and one by one the disciples descended from the spirit boat with swords.

Qin Fenglie, along with Qin Yunyi, Qin Yunshang, Zhao Nan, Chen Shun's left and right envoys, three elders, as well as Sword Sect's leader Ye Zhen, Medicine Sect's leader Xue Ran and others floated in the air, looking at the people in Hehuan Palace coldly.

On the Hehuan Palace side, Bai Zhuyue, dressed in the image of "Hua Ranyan", led the three sisters Yu, Yun and Meng, Gong Shang and Jiao Yu, two monks from Qingle Palace who were undergoing tribulation, as well as Meng Hao, the leader of the Baishou Sect, and others standing on the city wall, looking nervously at the increasing number of monks from Mingluan Palace not far away.

Xie Changji took a quick glance and found a young man in black standing in the dark. He paused, stared at him for a moment, and frowned slightly: "Xue Zidan?"

Xue Zidan trembled for a moment, then raised his hand and said hurriedly, "I'm here to help."

"Your sect is across the street."

Xie Changji reminded him, and Xue Zidan rubbed his nose: "Then I'm here. And Xue Ran..."

Xue Zidan shrugged: "Anyway, what Yao Zong does has nothing to do with me."

Xie Changji said nothing. He turned around. Gong Shangjiaoyu stepped forward and said respectfully, "Lord Qingheng."

Xie Changji nodded, walked to Bai Zhuyue's side, and followed Hua Xiangwan's way of addressing her, respectfully saying, "Mother."

Bai Zhuyue was still a little uncomfortable being called like this. She coughed lightly, nodded and said, "Changji is here."

"Thank you, Changji."

Seeing Xie Changji appear, Qin Fenglie spoke first: "This fight has nothing to do with your Tianjian Sect. If you leave immediately, I will spare your death."

Xie Changji said nothing. He looked at Qin Fenglie calmly, as if he was looking at a dead person: "How do you want me to die?"

"Xie Changji," Zhao Nan laughed beside him, "Don't you think you are the best in Yunlai? Even in the Western Territory. Although Gong Shang Jiaoyu is a calamity-crosser, he is just a cultivator who is good at healing. He can't help you much. Hehuan Palace is a group of old, weak and sick people. You want to protect them all by yourself. This is called stubborn resistance."

"Old, weak, sick, or disabled?"

Hearing this, Hu Mian laughed and said, "Right Envoy Zhao, why don't you let an old, weak, and disabled person like me learn a thing or two?"

Having said that, Humian tiptoed up into the sky, swung the paintbrush in his hand, and the ink spurted out with a flick of the tip of the brush. In the air, it instantly transformed into countless ferocious beasts and pounced towards Zhao Nan.

When Qin Yunshang saw Hu Mian making a move, she suddenly drew her sword and leaped out, chopping off a black beast that had jumped in front of Zhao Nan with one sword. She turned around and said with a smile, "Don't bother Zhao Zuo Shi with such a small matter. Let me do it."

As soon as the voice fell, Qin Yunshang's sword energy was as fast as a rainbow, and she rushed towards Hu Mian!

As soon as the two of them started fighting, Lingnan and Lingbei, the three elders and others also led their disciples to jump out of the barrier, shouted "Kill", and then hacked and killed the disciples of Mingluan Palace in front of them.

Gong Shang Jiao Yu flipped his hands, one of them held a flute, the other held a zither, and they immediately sat cross-legged.

The harp and flute played together, carrying spiritual power across the battlefield, constantly repairing the wounds of the disciples of the Hehuan and Qingle Palaces on the battlefield.

Seeing this not far away, Xue Ran, without saying a word, flipped his hand and an incense burner appeared. He threw a pill into the incense burner, raised his hand and waved it, and the incense burner, accompanied by a poisonous gale, swept towards the direction of Hehuan Palace.

At the same time, Xue Zidan, who was hiding in the dark, sniffed the air, quickly took out a bronze tripod from his Qiankun bag, grabbed a handful of medicine and threw it in, then took out a fan and blew the wind carrying the antidote towards the direction of the battlefield.

He used an eighth-grade palm leaf fan, and the wind it produced was much more powerful than Xue Ran's. For a moment, the battlefield was covered with flying ash.

Everyone started coughing. Xie Changji turned his head and looked towards the corner of the wall. Xue Zidan noticed Xie Changji's gaze and smiled embarrassedly: "Well... if you want to do your work well, you must first sharpen your tools."

Xie Changji's eyes fell on the large tripod next to Xue Zidan. Compared with Xue Ran's small incense burner, this tripod and the fan were indeed much larger.

Xue Zidan's move startled Zhao Nan who was standing high up.

Originally, the five tribulation masters in Mingluan Palace were sitting quietly and watching. When they saw the sudden strong wind, Zhao Nan could not help but raised his hand to brush away the dust. Seeing Zhao Nan taking action, the sound of Gong Shang's zither immediately changed its tone and turned into a clanging and murderous sound. For a moment, the sound of the zither turned into a knife, rushing towards Zhao Nan.

Zhao Nan sneered, brushed off the dust and threw his qin sword away. Chen Shun, who was standing next to him, didn't say a word, but drew out the long sword in his hand and chopped it down fiercely in the direction of Gong Shang!

"Die!"

Chen Shun shouted loudly, and his long sword broke the barrier of Hehuan Palace. Gong Shang's eyes widened in panic. However, at that moment, an invisible space seemed to suddenly appear in front of Gong Shang. Everyone watched as Chen Shun's sword sank into the space inch by inch, and then disappeared.

Chen Shun was terrified, and before he could react, everyone felt a huge surge of spiritual power. Then they saw Chen Shun's sword appear in mid-air, but the tip of the sword had turned around, and it was aimed at Chen Shun with a shocking and surging momentum, and rushed away!

Feeling this overwhelming sword force, Chen Shun quickly retreated. Qin Fenglie's eyes turned cold, and in an instant, the long sword in the disciple's hand seemed to be summoned by something and flew out of his hand!

Hundreds of spirit swords formed a sword formation and rushed towards Chen Shun's sword.

The two sides met, and hundreds of swords confronted each other. Qin Yunyi did not hesitate, drew out his long sword and slashed fiercely at the Hehuan Palace barrier. The two tribulation elders and Zhao Nan also jumped out at the same time and rushed towards Xie Changji.

Xie Changji stood on the city wall with a calm expression. He seemed to be in a separate space. Time had stopped for him. He looked calm, and his wide sleeves moved without wind. Only the chill of ice and snow spread from his body into the wind.

No matter how fast or anxious the people around him are, they don't bother him at all.

The five Tribulation Masters attacked together, and Jiao Yu couldn't help but shout out in surprise: "Shang Jun, be careful!"

However, at that moment - the wind became a sword, the earth became a sword, the leaves became swords, everything became a sword!

Sword energy burst out from Xie Changji's body, and the living being turned into a sword, rushing towards the five monks!

Everyone opened their eyes wide, and felt that the sword's power seemed to permeate the space, and there was murderous aura and frost everywhere.

Qin Yunyi and the others sensed something was wrong and quickly pushed away. Qin Fenglie suddenly stood up, his spiritual energy surged, he borrowed swords from everyone, and collided with Xie Changji's Sword of All Things, exploding suddenly in a high altitude!

The spirit sword was shaken to pieces, and all things shattered and returned to the sky. When the dust settled, Qin Fenglie stood on a high place, leading Qin Yunyi and others to stare at Xie Changji.

Xie Changji held the Sword of Self-Reflection, pointed his toes, and leaped into the air.

He walked on the moon, and with every step he took, the moonlight spread out like water waves.

She was wearing a white dress with wide sleeves and looked like a fairy.

"Xie Changji," Qin Yunyi said hastily, "Hua Xiangwan is possessed by a demon spirit, a perverted demon. Is the Heavenly Sword Sect now willing to degenerate and join the evil?"

"No."

When Xie Changji spoke, Zhao Nan's face was overjoyed. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Xie Changji say.

"I am here, but the Heavenly Sword Sect is not here."

This made Qin Fenglie frown. He didn't understand: "What do you mean?"

"What I mean is that starting today, Xie Changji will be expelled from the Tianjian Sect. What Xie Changji did has nothing to do with the Tianjian Sect."

As he spoke, he held the sword in front of him and pulled out the sword inch by inch.

The Sword of Integrity shone gracefully under the moonlight, reflecting his calm eyes.

"The one who killed you today is He Huan Gong," Xie Changji raised his eyes and looked forward. The moment the long sword was unsheathed, the killing intent surged. He rushed forward like he was walking on the waves of the sea, and slashed down with the sword, "Xie Changji!"
