At night, the two of them started to pack their bags and prepared to follow Yan Qing to Miao'er Mountain.
In fact, Yan Xi has changed. He is calmer and his eyes are firmer, but he is no longer the aloof and arrogant person he used to be.
Nalan Lianyue's eyes flashed, wanting to ask the emperor how he persuaded him, but she was afraid of making him think of unhappy things, so she hesitated for a moment.
Unexpectedly, Yan Xi brought it up on her own.
"The emperor is just like you. He talks a lot, but I can't even listen to it." Yan Xi smiled bitterly, and was a little puzzled by his aggressive behavior in the past.
"Then...what did the emperor say later?"
"The emperor later became angry. He asked me if I regretted giving up Taoism and becoming an official in the court, but I didn't answer. He also asked me if I regretted that I couldn't persist in practicing and now lost the battle. I still didn't answer. But
I listened, and these words... are actually somewhat correct. I have occasionally had this thought over the years, and I feel a little regretful."
Nalan Lianyue's heart lifted up, and she unconsciously held her husband's hand tightly.
Yan Xi looked down at his wife's nervous hands and smiled silently.
"The emperor suddenly asked me if I felt that I was the best in the world and I would not allow others to be better than me in anything! I was confused. I had never thought about it that way." Yan Xi acted out her true expression at that time with great emotion.
Reaction, "Your Majesty said to me, what's the point of being depressed if I can't beat someone stronger than myself? Shouldn't I be more motivated to fight and strive for strength? Because since I'm not dead, it means I have a chance to surpass myself!"
Nalan Lianyue let out a breath, what the emperor said...why didn't she think of it?
Yan Xi knew what his wife was thinking at a glance. He smiled softly, as warmly as before: "You and Qing'er will become chaotic if you care about them!"
Nalan Lianyue's heart softened. Thinking of almost losing her husband, all the blood in her body seemed to flow backwards.
"Seeing that I was touched, the emperor added that in fact, I have protected Qing'er in my own way."
In fact, the emperor also said that he also protected the people of the capital. Cheng Lie and the other three had advanced cultivation levels, and the worshipers of the capital were no match at all. If the three of them joined forces to continuously attack Prince Xuan's Mansion or Taishi's Mansion, the ban would not be able to last.
In the long run, the people in Prince Xuan’s Mansion and the Grand Master’s Mansion will all suffer.
Li Qing was in seclusion, and if he was disturbed and attacked rashly, he would definitely be injured. And his proposal to take the three people out of the capital was the best protection for these people.
Yan Xi narrowed his eyes. It was these words that cheered him up. Only then did he realize that he had fulfilled his father's responsibility and tried his best to protect his daughter.
And, most importantly, the emperor reminded him that Qing'er still needs his protection. As a father, he cannot fall yet, he must be stronger!
In fact, the person who understands Yan Xi best is the emperor who is usually the most unreliable.
Of course, it is true that Nalan Lianyue and her daughter are in trouble if they care.
Rong Che and Yan Qing were rushing to meet the driver and were extremely surprised to see Yan Xi standing in the courtyard.
In particular, Yan Qingzheng had already proposed that Yan Xi take a carriage to Miao'er Mountain.
Yan Qingzheng learned about the emperor's role, and kowtowed to the emperor sincerely, just like Nalan Lianyue.
Several people sat down in the hall, and Yan Xi finally told the story of that day from beginning to end.
The two worshipers looked at Rong Che with awe in their eyes. They had only heard rumors, but had never seen the Demon Slayer come out with their own eyes.
Yan Qing was breathing rapidly and was shaking with anger.
It was also the first time that the emperor knew the details, and he was also very distressed.
"It's time for me to go back. Shengwen, please do your work first. Come back after you've finished everything." The emperor said. He knew that after this battle, it would be impossible for Yan Xi to devote himself to the court again.
"I would like to thank you for your kindness!" Yan Xi gave a big gift, for the sake of the emperor's understanding and for his friendship.
At the same time, he also said with assurance: "Weichen... will come back!"
The emperor showed a smile, turned around and left.
Eunuch Hongwen hurriedly followed, thinking to himself, Master Yan Xi is indeed extraordinary in the eyes of the emperor!
Moreover, I think the emperor is also... extraordinary in the heart of Master Yan Xi...
The emperor was in a good mood when he returned to the palace. After all, although Yan Xi was about to leave, which made him feel sad, Yan Xi had recovered mentally and promised to come back. For the emperor, this was enough.
Then he slapped his thigh: "Forgot!"
He left the palace because he was too worried about Yan Xi, and then returned to the palace feeling relieved, even forgetting to see Tong Yao!
Yan Xi actively cooperated with the treatment and recovered very quickly.
Yan Qingzheng finally felt relieved.
The group no longer needed carriages, they all flew with swords, and soon arrived at Miao'er Mountain.
Pei Xing's breath has changed drastically.
In the past few months, he has transformed almost all the spiritual power in his body into immortal essence. As long as he can withstand the eighty-one thunders, he can form immortal crystals and gain guidance from the immortal world.
"You guys are here!" Pei Xing saw Yan Qingzheng and felt relieved unconsciously. Then he was shocked when he saw Yan Xi: "What's wrong with you?"
The few of them looked at each other, and Yan Xi introduced her experiences during this period. Pei Xing couldn't believe it.
"Tianyimen actually diverted trouble to the east! Such determination and ruthlessness!" After all, Yan Xi's family had practiced in Tianyimen. Yan Qingzheng may have offended them, but Yan Xi and Nalan Lianyue have always been under the guidance of their master these years.
They don't have any scruples about sending New Year's gifts to the door!
"But suffering some hardships might not be all bad for you!" Pei Xing thought about it and said that Yan Xi's aura had changed. He could feel that Yan Xi's character had been tempered and sublimated through this incident, which was of great benefit to his cultivation.
of.
Yan Xi smiled slightly: "I just hope I won't be a burden to everyone in the future!"
Apparently he was still a little concerned about this matter.
Rong Che frowned slightly, wondering if the influence of the Slaughter Demon Lord had not been completely eliminated?
After Yan Xi cheered up that day, Rong Che figured out something. It must be said that the two of them shared the same sea of consciousness, which led to Rong Che's understanding of the Demon Slaughter Lord.
After he entered, he told the Slaughter Demon Lord that Yan Xi had come out of the slump, had cheered up again, and had made a breakthrough in her state of mind.
The Slaughter Demon Lord didn't believe that his method would be exposed so quickly. He said "impossible" without realizing it, and Rong Che saw through it.
After several trials, Demon Slaughter revealed the truth, because he had different thoughts in his mind, so it was actually easy to talk during this period.
Otherwise, if he had proposed to seize the body immediately, Rong Che would have agreed in order to save Yan Xi and his wife.
After hearing this, Rong Che just said that he hoped that he would stop making small moves in the future. He was a person who kept his promises, and when the time came, he would definitely let him fulfill his wish.
The Slaughter Demon Lord looked at Rong Che with flashing eyes. All the thoughts of this young man appeared in his eyes. He was serious.
So even though he was no longer willing to trust anyone after being betrayed by his subordinates, the Demon Lord of Slaughter still hesitated.
How about trying to trust someone again?
Before Rong Che left, he asked calmly: "Those three people are already quite advanced in cultivation. Why didn't you seize them back then?"
The Killing Demon Lord was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said: "It's not that I don't want to, but that not everyone can bear my soul!"
Rong Che thought for a moment and said, "My cultivation is far worse than theirs."
"The strength of the soul and the solidity of the sea of consciousness have no absolute relationship with the level of cultivation. Although generally speaking, the higher the level of cultivation, the stronger the soul and the stronger the sea of consciousness, but... you are an exception!"
The Slaughter Demon Lord sighed, feeling that he still couldn't express his grievance, so he sighed again.
If someone who could bear his soul was so easy to find, he wouldn't have been wandering around for so many years, until he almost ran out of gas before he found Rong Che!
Rong Che closed his eyes and said resignedly: "It seems that my life is destined to have no future!"
He still hopes from the bottom of his heart that one day he and Yan Qingzheng can fly together to reach the immortal world and continue their fate in this life.
But since I promised for five hundred years... now it's four hundred and fifty years later, the ownership of the body belongs to the Demon Lord of Slaughter, and I can't go back on it because I made a soul contract.
Therefore, his fate with Yan Qingzheng has entered into a countdown.
He thought again, forget it, they have lived longer than an ordinary couple for several hundred years, that's enough.
Rong Che withdrew, and the Demon Slaughter Lord was no longer calm.
If we talk about the body, the body of a demon world person is more suitable for him.
So in the final analysis, what he needs is to return to the demon world.
This is difficult. His original plan was to use Rong Che's body to ascend and then find a way to the demon world through the fairy world.
However, ascending requires reshaping the immortal body, so all his previous realm skills will disappear, and he can only use the reshaped immortal body to continue practicing.
It would take countless years to reach his previous state.
The consequence is that even if he returns to the demon world, he cannot stay for a long time, because the immortal body will be suppressed in the demon world and will gradually become weak.
"Since that girl can open up the passage to the immortal world, given a few hundred years, she may even be able to open up the passage to the demon world..."
The Slaughter Demon Lord was hesitant and confused, not knowing what choice he should make.
His soul is full of demonic nature, so if he changes to the path of immortality, he may not achieve great success.
And all the motivation for him to survive now comes from revenge. If he can't get revenge, what is he still doing? Watching his former enemy at ease, is he silently a weak person in a dark corner?
No! Never!
Just when everyone was gathering at Miao'er Mountain, Demon Slaughter came out of his entanglement. He was so emotionally excited that Rong Che's sea of consciousness was turbulent. He frowned and shook his head uncontrollably.
"What's wrong with you? Have a headache?" Yan Qing asked with concern.
The Demon Slayer quickly calmed down and Rong Che returned to normal.
"I'm fine." Rong Che looked at Yan Qingzheng with a smile.
Yan Qing nodded and turned to look at Pei Xing.
"Senior Pei will be able to survive the tribulation in three days. In nine days, he will become the first person to ascend in thousands of years!" She said with bright eyes, "This place is desolate. Previously, I thought that Senior would be able to successfully survive the tribulation. Whether or not there is a platform for ascending to immortality does not matter.
