The ninth day of the twelfth lunar month is auspicious.

Before daybreak, the entire Hehuan Palace was already busy. After Hua Xiangwan completely sealed the twin talisman left by Xie Changji on her body, she saw Lingnan holding the wedding dress in front of her.

This wedding dress is much more elegant than normal wedding dresses. It is made of pearl satin, with red edging, phoenix embroidery on the hem of the skirt, and symmetrical and staggered images of the Yin and Yang Gods of Harmony on the sleeves.

Hu Mian put makeup on Hua Xiangwan. She looked into her eyes with a gentle look: "Last time you and Xie Changji got married, I didn't put makeup on you. This time I did it for fun, but I made up for my regret."

"What kind of regret is this?"

Hua Xiangwan was puzzled, Hu Mian smiled and said, "When you were little, you always told me that when you grow up and get married, I must do your makeup. Have you forgotten?"

"It's been so many years, and you still remember it."

Hua Xiangwan found this a little funny. Hu Mian's eyes dimmed slightly. He drew her eyebrows for her, his expression a little gloomy: "It's a pity that Xiansheng is not here. I told him at the beginning that if you really can't catch up with Xie Changji, he and I will go to Yunlai to help you tie Xie Changji back."

Hua Xiangwan listened to Hu Mian's words, stared at her left eye quietly, and asked, "If Qin Xiansheng was still here, would you be happier?"

Hu Mian combed her hair, thought about it seriously, and then shook his head: "Not necessarily. If he were alive, the things in He Huan Palace might be related to him, so it's better for him to be dead. In fact, it's okay now," Hu Mian chose a hairpin for Hua Xiangwan, "at least he died cleanly, and I can be considered worthy of everyone."

Hua Xiangwan didn't say anything. She looked at herself in the bronze mirror and waited for Hu Mian to put on makeup and get ready. Then she stood up and walked out the door.

The sky was just getting light, and the disciples of Hehuan Palace were already standing outside the door. Ling Bei stepped forward and said respectfully, "Young Master, the bodies of the brothers and sisters have been arranged under the square's magic formation, and Master Shen has also been waiting in the Demon Palace in advance. We will go directly there through the teleportation formation, and everything is ready."

The Demon Lord's succession ceremony and the wedding were held at the same time, which had never happened before, so the process was rearranged by Shen Yichen.

Hua Xiangwan nodded and said, "Then you choose some disciples, and go in with me along with Master, Third Aunt, and others. Lingnan Humian will stay outside."

"yes."

Hearing this, Lingnan quickly said, "Young Master, take me with you."

Hua Xiangwan turned to look at her, and saw Lingnan pursing his lips, a little embarrassedly saying: "I... I want to see them first."

"What are you looking at?"

Hua Xiangwan was a little confused. Lingnan raised his head and looked at her with a pair of eyes that looked like Xiao Wenfeng's, pleading: "I want to see my parents."

Hua Xiangwan was stunned. She stared quietly at Lingnan's face, which was a combination of Xiao Wenfeng and Qin Yinyu's features. She wanted to refuse, but she couldn't utter a word.

Lingnan felt a little aggrieved and was about to say something when Lingbei hurriedly said, "Young Master, I will protect Lingnan, don't worry."

Hua Xiangwan thought about it, and finally responded: "Okay."

Hua Xiangwan said, "Let's go."

It took half an hour to reach the outside of the Demon Palace after starting from the Hehuan Palace teleportation array. At this moment, the palace was completely controlled by the Hehuan Palace, Mingluan Palace and the one hundred disciples sent by the Tianjian Sect.

Seeing Hua Xiangwan walking in front in her wedding dress, Sui Wen, who was standing at the palace gate, pursed his lips tightly. Changsheng beside him pulled him and whispered, "Didn't Elder Kun say that we should listen to the young master?"

After hearing this, Sui Wen finally lowered his eyes and looked away reluctantly. Ling Bei looked at the scene and explained, "Young Master Qin is counting the personnel in Mingluan Palace and will be here soon."

"Um."

Hua Xiangwan nodded and turned to look at Hu Mian beside her: "Senior Sister, you stay here to support Yun Shang."

"good."

Hu Mian nodded, and after a moment's hesitation, she walked forward and held Hua Xiangwan's hand: "Ah Wan, God bless you with good fortune." She raised her eyes slowly, her gaze firm, and her voice harsh, "May the Hehuan Palace prosper forever."

Hearing this, Hua Xiangwan's eyes calmed down. She held Hu Mian's hand and said, "Hehuan Palace will prosper forever."

After saying that, she slowly let go of Hu Mian, turned around, and faced the vermilion palace gate that was soaked in the blood of the Demon Palace for thousands of years.

She raised her hand and waved, and the people around her took their positions. The sound of trumpets came from the palace, and bells rang from tall buildings in the distance.

After three strikes, Hua Xiangwan raised his sword and looked up at the Yin-Yang Hehuan statue on the top of the palace gate, which was staring at people with its eyes downcast. He raised his voice and said, "I accept your command from heaven. All the gods are above. I am Hua Xiangwan of the Hehuan Palace and come here to receive the title!"

The palace gate remained motionless, and the Yin and Yang Hehuan gods stared at her silently with eyes that showed neither sadness nor joy. After a moment, Hua Xiangwan's spiritual power suddenly surged and rushed towards the gate. The Hehuan god's face lit up, as if trying to stop her.

This is the test for every Demon Lord, and also the most basic test.

The spiritual powers of both sides were in conflict, and the wind was blowing violently. Hua Xiangwan stared at the door in front of her, until finally, her spiritual power rolled up like a wave and slammed the door open!

The light of the divine image of Hehuan finally dimmed, and the sound of a man and a woman making love rang out from the divine image: "You have been granted the destiny of heaven, and you can enter this palace."

After he finished speaking, a beam of light shone from the palace gate all the way to the top of the altar. In the light, a red carpet was laid out, and people from the three palaces and seven clans lined up on both sides of the red carpet.

At the end of the red carpet, above the altar, stood a half-human-high rectangular black stone pillar. The Jade Blood God stood next to the pillar, wearing the same pearl satin, red-trimmed gown as Hua Xiangwan, and a black mask with a gold lotus painting on it. He looked at Hua Xiangwan in front of the palace gate with gentleness.

He reached out to Hua Xiangwan, his voice echoing in the square: "Come."

Hua Xiangwan said nothing. She held the sword and walked forward. Lingnan and Lingbei led their disciples to follow behind her. In the morning light, they stepped onto the red carpet and walked forward under the gazes of the crowd.

Bai Zhuyue led Yungu, Menggu, Yugu and others to stand at the front, watching Hua Xiangwan slowly approaching.

She stepped onto the white jade steps and walked onto the path that only the Demon Lord could walk on.

The youthful innocence of her youth had long gone, and her beautiful eyes and brows were now fully opened with a calm and majestic look. Everyone followed her figure and watched her stand on the high place of the altar and put her hand into the hands of the Jade Blood God.

"When will the ghost spirit be given to me?"

Hua Xiangwan sent him a message, and the Jade Blood God looked at her makeup and said, "Your dress doesn't seem as elaborate as the day you married Xie Changji."

"It was Senior Sister Humian who did it for me."

Hua Xiangwan explained coldly: "She used to be a disciple who was specifically in charge of makeup."

Hu Mian's importance was naturally greater than that of the others. The Jade Blood God listened, nodded with satisfaction, and finally gave her an answer: "Get married first. When you recast the blood order, open the seal at the same time. I will give you the Ghost Spirit, and let them merge into one."

When the Demon Lord's Blood Order is recast, it will contain all the mental skills inherited from the previous Demon Lord. The successor will instantly have a great increase in strength. This is also the key to why the Demon Lords of the Western Territory become stronger with each generation.

With the mind-set of the Jade Blood God, the cultivation of her mother Hua Ranyan, and her own qualifications, the moment she lets go of Gui Ling, she will instantly reach the peak of her life.

"After defeating the ghost spirit, you will activate the formation to revive the Hehuan Palace. Drop your own blood into the formation. When the people in the Hehuan Palace are resurrected, the ghost spirit will sense that they carry your aura and will not harm them."

The Jade Blood God soothed her: "Don't worry."

"good."

Hua Xiangwan looked at the people waiting to salute in the square and said calmly, "Salute."

Before the wedding, the Jade Blood God had already searched all seven sects, and everyone knew that today was the day for the wedding and the succession ceremony to be held simultaneously.

No one dared to ask where Xie Changji had gone, or how the marriage between Hua Xiangwan and Xie Changji would be handled. Now, all the sects were struggling, and it would be good if they could get through this battle for the Demon Lord peacefully.

Then, in the silence of everyone, the ceremonial officer took out a scroll, chanted the words of blessing, and then finally led the two people to start the wedding ceremony.

Xie Changji moved into the Hehuan Palace, so the marriage was held according to the procedures of the Hehuan Palace.

And now, the Jade Blood God and she began to worship heaven and earth according to normal etiquette.

"Bow to heaven and earth."

They both bent towards the east.

"Bow twice to all the gods."

The two men turned around and bowed in the direction of the Yin-Yang God in front of the palace gate.

"The couple bows to each other——"

The two turned around, and the Jade Blood God looked at her and couldn't help but smile: "I never thought that one day, I would marry someone."

"If you don't want to worship, I don't mind," Hua Xiangwan said calmly, "Just give me the ghost spirit."

"Now that you put it that way, I think it's better to go ahead and pay my respects."

As he spoke, the Jade Blood God lowered his head first and bowed sincerely. Hua Xiangwan looked at him quietly, and after a long time, he slowly bent down as well.

After the two of them finished their worship, the ceremonial officer finally said, "Go up to the altar and recast the blood order. Pass on the secret method and receive the blessing of the ancestors!"

After hearing this, the two of them walked hand in hand towards the half-human-high altar in front of them.

On the altar was a concave shape that looked like a token. Hua Xiangwan looked at it carefully for a moment, and then heard the Green Blood God Lord explain: "Put the Demon Lord's Blood Token in it, and then soak it with your blood. When the Blood Token is full, you will completely open the seal of the Ghost Spirit," Green Blood God Lord said, turning his head and telling her, "The half of my Ghost Spirit here will automatically enter your sea of ​​consciousness and merge with the other half of the Ghost Spirit. Only if the Blood Token is recast, you will inherit all my mental skills. If you kill everyone here, your magic circle will automatically activate, devour their bodies, and resurrect your brothers and sisters."

Hua Xiangwan lowered her head and looked at the altar without saying a word.

Seeing that she didn't move, the Jade Blood God couldn't help but laugh: "Why are you hesitating? Are you regretting it? Can't bear to exchange this world for a chance to live in Hehuan Palace?"

"I have no regrets," Hua Xiangwan listened to his words, took out the fragments of the blood order, and placed them one by one in the depression, saying calmly, "Back then, the world did not give Hehuan Palace a chance to survive."

Hua Xiangwan said as she cut her palm. She clenched her fist and blood fell on the blood order. She looked calm and said, "As long as Hehuan Palace is fine, I don't care about other people."

******

When Hua Xiangwan arrived at the Demon Palace, Xue Zidan was awakened by the sound of a horn.

He shuddered, climbed up from the pile of books, shook his head, and felt a little groggy.

He raised his hand to cover his forehead and felt a headache.

His mind was filled with thoughts of Hua Xiangwan. He had been worrying about this matter in recent days, especially as the time for Hua Xiangwan to take over the position of Demon Lord was approaching. This thought made him increasingly uneasy.

The monk's intuition should not be ignored, he always feels that he is missing something.

Hua Xiangwan's pulse was very steady. At first it seemed that she was just a little weak, nothing serious. But after a closer look, it was very chaotic, a bit like a pregnant woman - or even a woman about to give birth. It was also like her body was in a state of chaos and possessed.

But if she was pregnant, Hua Xiangwan would be at least nine months pregnant. This was impossible. At nine months pregnant, even if her belly was small, it should be noticeable, and she should look like she was pregnant.

If it was just a case of obsession, Hua Xiangwan would be fine...

Xue Zidan supported his head and flipped through the ancient book in pain. This book was brought from Yunlai by Kunxuzi. Qin Yunshang found it for him. He did not expect there was anything in the book. He flipped through it casually for a while and suddenly found that a page seemed to have been torn away.

Xue Zidan was originally planning to switch to the next book, but suddenly he saw two words "Yin Zi" on the remaining pages.

In a flash, he suddenly remembered Hua Xiangwan's pulse, and he suddenly realized something.

Who says that pregnancy requires a big belly? Who says that pregnancy must have symptoms? Who says that pregnancy must have symptoms? Who says that the fetus must be visible?

If someone deliberately conceals the seal of the fetus and moves it to another place in the mother's body, wouldn't that be a sign of being possessed? !

But who and why would they hide the fetus...

Fetus?

When Xue Zidan thought of this word, his face turned pale instantly.

The fetus exists in the mother's body and absorbs everything in the mother's body. If there is a fetus in Hua Xiangwan's body, and someone deliberately forces all the toxins in her body into the fetus, the toxins in Hua Xiangwan's body will be completely borne by the fetus. The older the fetus is, the more toxins it can absorb. If this fetus is really in the uterus now, it is a complete person and can completely absorb the toxins in Hua Xiangwan's body and excrete them with birth.

Well, even if Hua Xiangwan releases the Gu Ling, even if her cultivation reaches the highest point, she will not die from the poison. By then, she will be controlled by the Gu Ling. With her qualifications, the Gu Ling will control her body, and no one in the world will be able to compete with him.

If you understand this point, then it becomes clear who is hiding the fetus.

"You can't do that."

He spoke hastily, trying to calm himself down.

The most urgent task is to tell Hua Xiangwan about this as soon as possible. She cannot unlock the seal of the Ghostly Spirit. Once the seal is unlocked, no one can stop the Ghostly Spirit.

He thought about the people who might be around Hua Xiangwan at the moment, and quickly contacted Ling Bei.

However, Lingbei did not respond, apparently he was blocked by the barrier.

He contacted Hu Mian, Ling Nan and others, but received no response. He immediately stood up and was about to look for someone when he saw the door kicked open: "I'm going to a wedding."

Qin Yunshang stood at the door, tying the belt around her hands, and said nonchalantly: "You stay here, I..."

"Hurry up and stop Ah Wan!" Xue Zidan said in a hurry. Qin Yunshang was stunned, and then she heard Xue Zidan say, "She can't unlock the seal of the spirit. There is a child in her belly that has absorbed all her toxins. She won't die if the seal of the spirit is unlocked. Then no one can control her!"

Qin Yunshang stared at Xue Zidan in a daze. Xue Zidan looked at Qin Yunshang who was standing there and said anxiously, "I can't contact anyone. Go quickly!"

Qin Yunshang came back to her senses after hearing this roar.

She held the leather buckle on her hand, thinking about Xue Zidan's words, and said slowly: "If she doesn't release the ghost spirit, will Wangxiu and your grandfather die?"

Xue Zidan was stunned when he heard this. Qin Yunshang looked up at him and said, "Then what is the point of our struggle for the past two hundred years?"

Xue Zidan was stumped by her question.

Qin Yunshang turned her head and said calmly: "Don't worry, Ah Wan has been prepared. If anything unexpected happens, I will kill her."

"How do you kill?"

Xue Zidan asked anxiously, and Qin Yunshang said in a slightly cold tone: "She gave me a spell made of her own blood, which will kill you if you use it. I'm going over now, you stay here."

As she spoke, Qin Yunshang took a step forward. Xue Zidan looked at Qin Yunshang's back, his mind full of the words "I want to live" that Hua Xiangwan said to him in the courtyard after she had survived the tribulation.

Her smile and the light in her eyes at that time made him clearly realize that if she could survive, she might have a good life.

She has someone she loves, and now she has a child in her belly...

If the evil spirit is not released, this child can save her life. The child has no cultivation at all. He has absorbed all the poisons from Hua Xiangwan. As long as he does not practice, he can have a long enough life.

He could save the child.

As this thought flashed through his mind, the way Hua Xiangwan smiled and said "I want to live" intertwined with the look on his face when his grandfather was young and teaching him. He couldn't help but say, "But they're dead."

Qin Yunshang paused, Xue Zidan's eyes turned red, and he trembled: "They have been dead for more than two hundred years, but now Hua Xiangwan is alive, and her child can live too."

"It is also Ah Wan's wish to let Wang Xiu survive."

"But she wants to live too!"

Xue Zidan shouted anxiously. He rushed to Qin Yunshang, grabbed her and said anxiously: "She begged me, she said she wanted to live, she wanted to fight for a glimmer of hope. Now she has the chance, why should she let the living die for the dead?!"

"Wang Xiu is not dead!"

"He's dead!"

Xue Zidan shouted, staring at Qin Yunshang: "Do you still remember what he looks like? Do you still remember his voice? You said you loved him, do you still remember how you felt when you were moved, happy, and excited for him?! You must make him come back to life, do you love him, or are you obsessed with him?"

Qin Yunshang said nothing. She looked at Xue Zidan with red eyes.

Xue Zidan pointed outside the door and said hastily, "She has a child, and she married the man she loves. The man she loves is still alive and trying to save her. Qin Yunshang, Cheng Wangxiu is the one you love, but you and her have been sisters for two hundred years. Isn't she the one you love? Do you only have one man in your life?!"

"What do you know?" Qin Yunshang laughed when she heard this. She grabbed him and stared at him. "It is because she is my sister that I know what she wants."

"You think I did it for Cheng Wangxiu? Yes, you are right," Qin Yunshang shed tears, "I don't remember what he looks like, I can't remember his voice, I can't even remember where we first met. But I know one thing, Ah Wan wants him to come back to life. Even if she dies, she is willing to let the people of Hehuan Palace come back to life!"

"And me," Qin Yunshang choked up, "even if I don't like him now, he is the only person I have ever loved the most in my life. I am willing to go through fire and water for his kindness to me back then. I want to give these two hundred years an end, do you understand?!"

Xue Zidan stared at Qin Yunshang blankly, and Qin Yunshang pushed him away: "If you want to save her, do it yourself. I only do what she told me to do. Kunxuzi is in Hehuan Palace. If you want to find Xie Changji, go find him!"

After saying that, Qin Yunshang turned around and left.

Xue Zidan stood there in a daze. After a moment, he quickly got up.

Mingluan Palace now has a teleportation array that goes directly to Hehuan Palace, so he almost crawled to Hehuan Palace.

Kunxuzi was greeting the Yunlai monks who were rushing over from the teleportation array. Xue Zidan rushed to Kunxuzi like crazy and asked excitedly, "Elder Kun, where is Xie Changji?"

Kunxuzi was stunned. Xue Zidan grabbed Kunxuzi and asked, "Can you find Xie Changji?"

Kunxuzi took out his voice transmission jade token and contacted Xie Changji, wondering, "What's wrong?"

Xue Zidan grabbed the jade token and rushed to the side.

Xie Changji was standing on a small path at the entrance of the village, sheltering a female cat who was giving birth from the rain.

The female cat was pregnant and dying. Xie Changji stared at the female cat on the ground and gave it a stream of spiritual power.

Not far away, a farmer who had become friends with him was walking by, scolding a child. He was limping and seemed to be injured.

Seeing Xie Changji, the farmer stopped and asked curiously, "Master Xie, what are you doing?"

"This beetle slave gave birth to a baby. I will protect her for a while."

Xie Changji's voice was steady.

His eyes fell on the farmer's child. Both of them looked like they had rolled in the mud, with bruises on their faces.

He had escorted this child and his mother all the way here from the ruined temple, so he was quite familiar with them. He couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

"He got into a fight in school," the farmer sighed, "so I wanted to help him, but... well," the farmer waved his hand, "I won't tell you about it."

The farmer didn't need to say much for Xie Changji to understand what he had been through.

His family was poor, and he had to live frugally to go to school. Most of the students in the school were from slightly wealthier families, so if there was a conflict, this farmer father and son would naturally suffer a loss.

Xie Changji lowered his eyes, somewhat confused: "Knowing that you can't protect her, why do you do it?"

"As a father, what does it matter if I know or not know?" The farmer sighed, "Even if I get beaten to death, I have to take responsibility for this."

Xie Changji said nothing. He felt his voice transmission jade token light up. He turned his head to look at the cat under the tree and said, "Let's go back first."

The farmer knew Xie Changji's temper, so he nodded, looked at the sky and said, "Master, it's cold, go home early. I'll ask my wife to heat up some soup, and you can go back and drink it with me."

"Thank you."

As soon as Xie Changji spoke, the farmer pulled the child away.

The cat panted as it gave birth to its first child. Xie Changji took out the jade token and said calmly, "Master..."

"Master Qingheng," Xue Zidan's voice came from the jade token. He tried to explain, "I know you may not remember Hua Xiangwan, but..."

"I don't have lovesickness."

Xie Changji kept interrupting Xue Zidan. Xue Zidan was stunned, and then he heard Xie Changji restrain his emotions and just said, "What happened?"

Xue Zidan was at a loss for words for a moment, he just stared blankly at the current situation.

Xie Changji didn't miss me, but his heart was still uneasy, so he was asked to come over now...

"Speak."

Xie Changji urged.

Xue Zidan reacted, pursed his lips, and finally said: "Ah Wan is pregnant. If I'm not mistaken, she's already nine months pregnant."
