Chapter 78: Unbearable Memories of the Past
"If you don't want to say it, then don't say it," Han Feng patted Shangguan Yujian's back and said gently.
The latter sobbed twice, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and the scene of escaping from the Xue family that day appeared in front of his eyes:
The vast continent,
Southern Snow House,
The Xue family, a powerful force with a history of tens of thousands of years, is one of the top forces in the south. On this day, red ribbons were floating all around the Xue family's manor, and the place was bustling with people and had a magnificent atmosphere.
But everyone who came to congratulate was in the mood to watch a show.
Because on this day, they will witness the always arrogant head of the Xue family personally handing over his beloved daughter to an outsider.
This is a real shame for a family that has strict rules and regulations that forbid intermarriage with outsiders!
If a man from another family wants to marry a girl from the Xue family, there is no other way except to marry into the family.
However, Shangguan Yujian was a man of great integrity and it was impossible for him to marry into the family. Therefore, the Xue family offered a second option:
If one wants to marry the family's saint, one must pass the test of the Xue family's Ice Flame Purgatory, be recognized by the Xue family's elders and ancestors, and after the three-party certification, he must swear a blood oath that if anything happens to the Xue family, he must come back to help the Xue family.
Only in this way can he marry the Holy Maiden of the Xue Family, the daughter of the Patriarch of the Xue Family, Xue Tianchi.
It has to be said that this condition was indeed rather harsh, but for Shangguan Yujian, who was broad-minded and ambitious at the time, what achievements would he make in the future if he couldn't even get the woman he had liked for a long time?
So I agreed decisively.
Later, he stayed in the Ice and Flame Purgatory for a whole month, experienced several tests of his inner demons, and almost went insane. He walked out exhausted both physically and mentally, with wounds all over his body.
Although he seemed very powerful to outsiders, he was insulted repeatedly during the certification stage by the Council of Elders and the ancestors. They even wanted to torture him out, because they were unwilling to marry Xue Tianchi to a "waste"!
When other major forces learned of this news, they all secretly mocked the Xue family.
There are only a handful of people in the entire Xue family who can stay in the Ice and Flame Purgatory for a month. Now, finally, a strong man like this has appeared and wants to marry a woman from the Xue family. It should be their honor, but because of their conservative thinking, they drove him out. How ironic!
After receiving this news, most forces extended olive branches to Shangguan Yujian, wanting to recruit him as their subordinate, and even some Mahayana figures took action.
It was not until this time that the Xue family realized the seriousness of the situation and quickly sent two elders to sincerely invite Shangguan Yujian to the Xue family, promising to marry Xue Tianchi to him and expressing their approval of him.
The latter was not a stupid person and naturally knew that this would be full of risks, but for the sake of Xue Tianchi, he was willing to face all dangers.
Unexpectedly, everything was fine.
In the blink of an eye, the wedding day arrived.
On this day, the Xue family was filled with guests. Xue Tianchi stayed in the room, looking out the window with tenderness, looking forward to all the extraordinary scenes that would take place at the wedding.
But she didn't expect that Shangguan Yujian was facing a life-and-death crisis at this moment.
As the sun rose, an old man with dark green leaves growing on his body appeared in front of Shangguan Yujian. His first attack showed the strength of the peak of the fusion realm, and he showed no intention of showing mercy.
The latter used his spiritual power, but the combat effectiveness he displayed was only three-tenths.
He was outmatched in combat, and if it weren't for some tricks left by Han Feng that helped him escape, the consequences would have been disastrous.
I originally wanted to leave at this point, but by accident, I escaped into the side room of the manor, near Xue Tianchi's room.
"Jade Sword!"
Xue Tianchi didn't expect that when they met again, the scene would be like this.
The fight in the side room naturally attracted everyone's attention. Although the Xue family repeatedly emphasized that there was no need to care, they could not stop the top people from snooping. Soon, the news spread that the ancestor of the Xue family tried to kill Shangguan Yujian on the wedding day.
Although everyone looked down on the Xue family's behavior, they did not show it much on the surface. In their hearts, they were more surprised at the subsequent results.
Xue Tianchi, who was at the Lianxu realm, and Shangguan Yujian, who was at the early stage of the Heti realm, joined forces to block the famous unique skill of the Xue family ancestor, the Deadly Sky-Cold Palm.
After this martial art is practiced to perfection, the cold air it emits alone is enough to freeze the world. Not to mention being hit by it. Without sufficient strength, one will be killed with one palm strike.
But these two people actually survived!
Although they survived, they were already dying. At this moment, the ultra-long-distance void teleportation talisman that Xiao Shiwu left on Shangguan Yujian took effect. The talisman was activated and took the two of them away.
In a few breaths, they arrived at the border between the south and the east. Little Fifteen, who sensed the change, also rushed to meet her Seventh Senior Brother and saved the two of them.
Although Xue Tianchi almost recovered after regulating her breathing, the Deathly Cold Palm still caused some irreparable damage to her body, such as the cold poison. Since then, my health has not been very good.
After having Faner, my health has become even worse.
Until later, when Xue Tianchi was taken away by the demons, he rushed into the demon tribe with a sword. Although he brought the former back, both of them suffered varying degrees of injuries.
The cold poison in Xue Tianchi's body broke out, and he was suffering from the double attack of the cold poison and the evil spirit. It was also thanks to his fellow brothers and sisters who had been taking care of him, otherwise he would have died here long ago.
