"I'm about to die of anger!"
Out of nowhere, a woman with a head full of silver hair appeared in the public square. When the Heartless Palace disciples saw her, they respectfully greeted her. "We welcome your return from your closed-door meditation, Master!"
Xiao Chen thought, "So that's Huashang?" She didn't sound old. Seeing as how she managed to turn a late-stage Core Forming Realm cultivator into a bloody mist, her cultivation was indeed high.
Huashang suddenly turned around, giving Xiao Chen a fright. He had imagined Huashang to be an elderly woman, not this beautiful woman. It seemed that she was practicing the same appearance-preserving method as Moxuan Zi.
Huashang cast him a cold gaze. "I said not to allow any man into the valley, especially a fair and pretty boy!" Several blades made of Qi flew out of her palm and claimed the lives of Old Monster of Mount Ding's disciples.
"Murderous aura!" Xiao Chen sen
Huangfu Xin'er hastily said, "Master, you can't..." Huasang put up a hand to stop her from speaking. "How about it? Can you do it?" When Huashang met Huangfu Xin'er three months ago, the latter told her everything about her past with Xiao Chen. She empathized with the girl and started doting on her. How could she not guess what was going on after seeing the strange looks on them both? Xiao Chen never thought that Huashang would ask him to marry Huangfu Xin'er. He took a step forward and saluted her. "I'm sorry for not being able to agree with your condition." Even though Huangfu Xin'er had expected this answer, she still felt a stab of pain after hearing what he said. Huashang's gaze turned icy as she said, "Your reason." Xiao Chen took a deep breath. "Cultivators ought to be at peace with themselves. Before the calamity befalling the East Continent is over..." Without waiting for him to finish, Huashang burst into laughter. "T
Huashang sneered. Her figure went out of focus and soon, she was back in the chief seat of the hall. Just as Xiao Chen was about to speak, he stopped himself. It was best not to linger on this topic and complete this task as soon as possible. Thus, he spoke before Huashang could. "Thank you for showing me leniency with your three attacks earlier. Will you return to the Jade Qing Sect with me now?" She propped her jaw with her hand and looked at him with interest. She smiled faintly. "When did I say I'll return with you?" "Earlier, you said you'll return with me as long as I manage to take three of your attacks. Have you already forgotten your words?" Xiao Chen asked. Huashang raised her head and gave a loud laugh. "You said that. I don't remember agreeing with you." "You…" Xiao Chen never imagined that a senior like her would go back on her word in front of so many of her disciples. Losing some of his patience, he asked, "Then
Everyone was confused and puzzled. Huashang's stroke so powerful, yet how was it possible that three simple strokes of the zither were able to nullify it? Just when everyone was still perplexed, a sword radiance shafted down from the sky and an old man, his robes cyan-colored, emerged. Huashang's hard and furious stare immediately softened, replaced by a melancholic gaze upon the newcomer with reticent silence. It was Qingfeng who had arrived. He sighed wearily. "It has been so long, Junior Sister," he said, "The matter still bothers you?" Every acolyte and disciple of the Heartless Palace were equally surprised to hear this. Xiao Chen breathed in relief. He had barely survived a close call; so close that his hair still stood. But Huashang's eyes immediately turned into a seething glare. "Are you here also to antagonize me, Senior Brother?" she asked bitterly. Qingfeng merely shook his head. There was another sad
It took great exertion for Li Muxue to jerk herself free from her stupor. Yanluo was looking into her eyes. She smiling, walked up to Li Muxue. "You remember me?" "I-I know you... Y-you are... Fairy..." Li Muxue stammered, finally recognizing the voice from her past. Yanluo was the Fairy Godmother from her childhood, although she looked considerably younger than she was. Realizing that this was not Li Muxue's first meeting with Yanluo, Xiao Chen was happy for her. He strode to her side and bowed to Yanluo, saying, "My respects, Senior Yanluo. My name is Xiao Chen." Yanluo smiled at him, although Huashang was taking everything with gritted teeth, feeling herself being discarded aside. But Moxuan Zi noticed her expression and said loudly, "It has been sixty years since the Jade Qing Seven was reunited. I'm glad, I'm glad!" Hearing this, the disciples and acolytes congregated outside could not help feeling proud and happy. Adrenal
Liu Fenghuang stopped her sobbing. Xiao Chen sighed. "Don't worry," he said suddenly, a note of bitterness evident in his voice, "I will make them pay. An eye for an eye." They sat in the breeze for a little more than two hours when suddenly an aura of light descended near them. It was Yu Yifeng. He came slowly over, and saw Liu Fenghuang asleep with her head rested on Xiao Chen's shoulder. "She has not been sleeping since yesterday," Yu Yifeng muttered sadly, "Perhaps she feels comfortable only when you're around." Xiao Chen watched her sleeping, calm and serene like a baby in slumber. "I'll bring her back," he said, and carried her in his arms before walking towards the courtyard of the stronghold. Yu Yifeng waited for him. Before long, Xiao Chen came back and they strode down the hill towards the Coalesced Colors Hall. They exchanged no words on their way down, until Yu Yifeng said, "Chen..." But he did not go on, pausing apprehensively.
Numerous auras of light shot into the sky to meet the aerial invasion force. Some were projectiles of energies released by the magical formations that acted as traps. Still, the Elder of the East Chamber had needed only to parry them with a simple wave of his arm and dispelled everything into nothingness. The crowds on the ground could only watch quietly, breathing heavily with disbelief at the might that the corrupted Elder displayed. Roars of battle-cries resounded suddenly. A horde of demonic minions, all former students and acolytes of the Skygale Sect, had begun their assault on the stronghold! Everyone from the Jade Qing Sect immediately rushed to man their battle stations, leaving the Elders to defend the great hall from the attacks by the aerial invasion led by the now-demonized Elders of the Skygale Sect. There were marks on their foreheads, mementos of the corrupting enchantment that tainted them. Their eyes were completely devoid of any glimmer
Xiao Chen slowly walked to the front steps of the temple, looking at the square where countless bodies lay in a pool of blood. He couldn't help but feel sad. He used his Divine Sense to sweep around and immediately checked the whole Yuqing Mountain. He saw Li Muxue, Luo Shangyan, Murong Xian'er, Liu Fenghuang, and Yu Yifeng were all fine, and he just felt relaxed. He took a step forward and said in a low voice, "Everyone, I'm sorry. I came out late." Seeing him finally come out, many people were already crying with joy. The four elders of the Skygale Sect moved, turned into long radiance, and immediately attacked him. Four earth-shaking power caused a strong wind to blow in the square. However, Xiao Chen's eyes looked cold, and he punched out with the power which could destroy heaven and earth. Elders of the East and North Houses were suddenly shattered into a blood mist. West and South elders were also affected by the shock wave and gave miserable cries.
"Since you two love each other so much, I will send you to hell together!" Patriarch Guanshan thundered madly, and his arms suddenly moved, forming a huge space vortex in front of him. The vortex moved toward Xiao Chen as if it could devour everything. "Naive!" Xiao Chen snorted coldly. He did not need to worry about falling now. He suddenly channeled the True Energy in his body and punched out with both hands. An unmatched power moved toward the vortex. The moment the two forces collided, the earth shook, and large areas of space were torn apart. The drake at the foot of Patriarch Guanshan also roared in pain under the impact of the shock wave, and its scales were flying. All the people on the ground were frightened and were glad that they were fighting at high altitude. If they were on the ground, nobody could escape this ferocious force. After that blow, the two sides parted for about hundreds of meters. Patriarch Guanshan's eyes became m
