Su Ying stood there blankly, her eyes filled with sorrow and vulnerability.
Long ago, she noticed that Wei Wuyuan's gaze towards her had gradually become more greedy as he grew older.
But the years of peaceful coexistence, and his kindness in raising her, kept her only slightly wary.
Deep down, she still hoped it was just her imagination.
After all, aside from restricting her freedom and preventing her from learning martial arts, he treated her fairly well.
Having never experienced parental love, she found a sliver of warmth in him.
However, at this moment, the revelation of the Heavenly Ranking shattered her illusions completely.
A bitter, aching pain welled up in my chest.
She tried to force a smile, but all she got in return was a stiff smile.
Su Ying still felt a lingering sense of loneliness and desolation.
She gently exhaled a breath of stale air.
Thinking about Wei Wuyuan's character.
In the end, he gave up the idea of researching the elixir of youth.
We quickly packed our bags.
They walked silently out of the valley.
They knew that Wei Wuyuan had spies hiding in the shadows.
Yet he still embarked on his escape without hesitation.
If we wait for Wei Wuya to arrive in person.
What a terrible situation awaits her!
They had no choice but to leave.
Although he had not learned martial arts.
His skills in both poison and medicine have reached a state of perfection.
Relying on this...
As long as we proceed cautiously step by step.
It's not impossible to escape alive.
In a secluded inn in Luoyang, during the Tang Dynasty.
"To do someone else's work for their benefit?"
A heroine among women? Loyal and righteous at the same time?
"How ridiculous..."
Turn your gaze away from the window.
The plain-looking woman forced a bitter smile.
In those eyes that were so out of place with his ordinary face.
It is interwoven with sorrow, desolation, and an unyielding grief.
Muttering to himself.
Suddenly she clenched her slender fingers.
Even after the joints turned white, they still did not loosen.
This is Shangguan Haitang in disguise.
To avoid identity leakage.
She deliberately disguised herself as an ordinary woman.
In his clear, bright eyes.
His expression gradually filled with self-deprecation.
He tilted his head back and swallowed the youth-preserving pill.
He drank the turbid wine cup after cup.
At this moment, I only wish to remain drunk and never wake up.
Forget the past.
..........................................
In a remote, desolate mountain area during the Qing Dynasty.
"It's good to be alive."
Looking at that familiar name on the list of beauties.
Zhu, dressed in plain clothes, showed a hint of relief in his eyes.
Perhaps it's because of the existence of that father-daughter relationship.
Or perhaps it's because they have no children.
Among the three secret agents.
Zhu Wushi showed the most favoritism towards Shangguan Haitang.
Despite in the beginning.
All he was thinking about was how to use her value.
But there is no denying it.
He did indeed harbor an inseparable bond of kinship with Shangguan Haitang.
Especially after all the grand ambitions and empires have come to naught.
This family bond became his only remaining attachment.
Whenever he thinks of the day he fled in haste without taking her with him, only sending a hasty message, he feels a deep sense of loss.
A bitter feeling welled up in his heart.
Fortunately, she was unharmed.
Even if it doesn't lead to lifelong regret.
The feeling of guilt will linger in one's heart for a long time.
After standing there for a moment.
Zhu Wushi slowly withdrew his gaze.
He turned and stepped into the house.
Looking at Su Xin, who was sleeping peacefully on the bed like a painting.
His eyes were full of tenderness.
His gaze then turned firm.
There's no need to think about the world anymore.
At that moment, he had only one thought in his mind—
Then he took her and they went into hiding in the mountains.
From then on, they lived a carefree life away from the world, enjoying harmonious music and peace.
Five days flew by.
The martial arts world was originally bustling with activity due to the power rankings of the Nine Provinces and the Hundred Flowers Ranking.
But at this moment, something else has caused a stir!
To be precise——
It's because of a rumor!
This story begins three days ago.
A violent tremor suddenly occurred somewhere within the territory of the Sui Dynasty.
The scale and momentum were enormous.
The impact covered an area of hundreds of miles.
Everyone thought the earth dragon had turned over.
The news of the appearance of the Temple of War God spread throughout the martial world!
There were some initial doubts.
But when eyewitnesses came forward to testify...
The martial arts world of the Nine Provinces was instantly abuzz with excitement!
Whether they are seasoned veterans or rising stars in the martial arts world.
Whether from a prestigious sect or a reclusive master.
They all rushed to the Sui Dynasty upon hearing the news.
In just two days.
Within the territory of the Sui Dynasty, crowds surged.
This is only a portion of the martial artists who arrived first.
Soon, the number of people flocking to the Great Sui Dynasty will increase exponentially, possibly even by tens or hundreds of times!
the reason is simple--
Although no one knows that the Temple of War God was transformed from a secret cave realm, the mere title of "Guang Chengzi, the teacher of the Yellow Emperor" is enough to make people in the martial arts world flock to it.
Moreover, according to historical records, every warrior who stepped into the Temple of the God of War received an extraordinary opportunity, which propelled them to great heights.
Even if one cannot live to see the world again, one can at least stand out among all heroes!
How could such a situation not get one's blood pumping?
Even if the hope is slim, or even nonexistent, everyone is still gambling in their hearts—
What if I am the chosen one?
There's no harm in giving it a try.
It is foreseeable that the Sui Dynasty will be a bustling metropolis with a surge of people and a gathering of heroes!
Da Qin, Xianyang Palace.
Holding the secret report, Ying Zheng spoke with an air of authority.
"This old servant is here. What are your orders, Your Majesty?"
Zhao Gao quickly stepped forward and bowed respectfully.
"By imperial decree, Bai Qi is ordered to immediately set aside his current affairs and proceed to the Sui Dynasty."
"The opening of the Temple of War this time may be the key to his breakthrough to the Supreme Myth Realm!"
Ying Zheng gave the order without hesitation, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes.
With Bai Qi's talent, he shouldn't have stopped at the half-step mythical realm.
Unfortunately, the excessive killings of that year left him with a bloodthirsty aura, which made it difficult to break through the bottleneck.
The appearance of the Temple of War this time, and the opportunity left by Guang Chengzi, may help him break through in one fell swoop!
Perhaps there is some extraordinary destiny hidden within.
He naturally didn't want Bai Qi to miss this opportunity.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Zhao Gao was also aware of this.
His expression immediately tightened.
