Yun Mengyao!
She used to be a teacher of the Sky Blue Academy in Jiangnan City. She had a fairy-like face and a graceful temperament like the East. No matter if she was in ancient times or modern times, she would be a peerless beauty.
However, such a graceful and graceful woman no longer had the delicate feeling she had in the past.
She was dressed in white and held a three-foot-long sword in her hand. Her hair was tied into a bun, and her skin was like carved ivory. But her stunning face was ruined by a scar, which made people feel pity when they looked at her.
The scar on Yun Mengyao's face was very obvious, which ruined her delicate face. But she didn't seem to care. She just looked at Ye Xuan silently, as if they were acquaintances who hadn't seen each other for many years. She didn't feel awkward at all.
"What's with the scar on your face?" Ye Xuan asked.
"You might not believe me, but this scar was made by me. Because of the Bloodsoul Mutant Beast's rampage, my entire family died in the mouths of the Mutant Beasts. Although I managed to escape, there were some people who had ill intentions towards me, so I personally destroyed this face."
Yun Mengyao's voice was very calm, so calm that there was no fluctuation in her voice. But Ye Xuan looked at this woman deeply, and then nodded slowly. He didn't know what he was thinking.
Since ancient times, appearance was very important to a woman, let alone a woman like Yun Mengyao who was so beautiful that she could cause the downfall of a city.
Ye Xuan didn't know what this woman had experienced all these years. But it was possible that Yun Mengyao had ruined her face with her own hands. There must be a very sad story behind it.
"I once went to the capital to visit Aunt Ye and Ling 'er. They were a little haggard because they missed you."
"Ye Xuan, I don't understand. If it were me, I would never abandon them. Are you really so heartless?" Yun Mengyao's voice was cold.
"Are you preaching to me?"
"Or are you condemning me for being heartless?"
Ye Xuan slowly stood up and looked at the sky through the window. His voice was deep as he said, "You should have seen the changes in this world. If I, Ye Xuan, was just an ordinary person, I would always be by their side, but I'm not. My existence has caused countless people to stare at me. They wish they could eat my flesh and drink my blood, and they will never have a peaceful day by my side."
Yun Mengyao shook her head slowly and said in a cold voice, "I don't understand. With your current reputation, Divine King Ye, and the fact that you've created a new era, even those so-called deities might not be able to threaten you. What are you afraid of?"
"Scared?"
Ye Xuan murmured to himself. Then, he gazed in the direction of Heartbreak Mountain and said, "The world you see is only the tip of the iceberg. There are still many things you don't know about in this world."
"Ye Xuan has never been afraid. It's just that I have no way out. As long as I take a step back, it'll be a bottomless abyss. I'll die without a burial place."
Ye Xuan looked back at Yun Mengyao. His eyes were deep as he said, "When I was young, I saw a movie about a monkey's love story. I'm sure you've seen it too."
Yun Mengyao's breath stopped. She seemed to understand something. She bit her lips and murmured, "If Joker wants to save Zixia, he must defeat the Bull Demon King. And to defeat the Bull Demon King, he must become Sun Wukong. To become Sun Wukong, he must cut off his emotions and desires. Can't he be with Zixia if he cuts off his emotions and desires?"
A look of self-mockery flashed across Ye Xuan's eyes. He murmured, "My enemy is too strong. If I give up on becoming an immortal and stay by my family's side regardless of everything, I'll end up in a miserable state."
"True protection isn't being with someone all the time. It's sheltering those who need protection."
After Ye Xuan finished speaking, he strolled outside. The aura around him gradually became cold and gloomy. It was as if he had turned into a heartless person once again. He gradually disappeared from Yun Mengyao's sight.
Looking at Ye Xuan's cold and lonely back, Yun Mengyao said bitterly, "So, there's no such thing as peace and quiet. It's just that you've been carrying a burden and moving forward alone!"
…
Qingyun Villa.
Ye Xuan stood alone under the moon. Today, he returned to his former residence, causing waves to surge in his heart. However, these waves were quickly calmed by him, and a cold light rose from the depths of his eyes.
"Yuan Ling, are you still not going to make a move?" Ye Xuan looked up at the sky and murmured to himself.
…
West, Twilight City.
A bloody mist drifted in the city. A large number of buildings were broken and collapsed. Countless Westerners were crying and rushing out of the city. This was because the god they believed in was covered in blood. He was being trampled under the feet of a powerful and dark woman.
Gu Xiaoxiao was wearing a black dress. Her skin was fair, and her black hair was scattered behind her head. She was smiling, but her smile was no longer as kind as before. Instead, it gave people a cold and dark feeling.
A man covered in blood was surrounded by a misty bloody light. There was an immortal-like charm around him. He howled angrily under Gu Xiaoxiao's feet, but he was powerless to resist.
"Immortal God's remnant soul?"
Gu Xiaoxiao said coldly. Bright demonic light bloomed around her. She said in a cold and ruthless voice, "You're really a good-for-nothing. You've escaped from the Blood Sea Battlefield for so long, but your cultivation has only just recovered to the Nascent Soul Stage. Then, give me all your cultivation."
Buzz!
Her slender hand was soft and boneless, but at this time, it erupted with unimaginable power. As Gu Xiaoxiao's palm and fingers slammed down, the man under her feet instantly exploded into a ball of extremely majestic blood Qi. Gu Xiaoxiao instantly devoured it.
"Great Art of Devouring the Heavens and Earth."
Gu Xiaoxiao scolded coldly. She sat cross-legged in the void to refine the majestic blood Qi in her body. Her cultivation increased rapidly.
If Ye Xuan was present at this time, he would definitely realize that the technique Gu Xiaoxiao was using now was a secret technique from the Immortal Scripture.
Half a day passed. Gu Xiaoxiao slowly opened her eyes. A bright bloody light flashed across her eyes, and the demonic light around her became more and more intense. She looked to the east, and said in a cold and ruthless voice, "Ye Xuan, it won't be long before you and I meet again."
…
The Divine Continent was in an uproar.
Ever since Yuanxu joined the Underworld, the Underworld had been unstoppable. It was unknown how many Transcendental Forces had been wiped out.
Taoism, Mount Longhu, Prajna Temple, ancient martial arts families — too many forces had been wiped out by the Underworld. Their precious cultivation manuals were collected and printed into books, which were distributed to all parts of the Great Xia Country by the members of the Underworld.
If they did not erupt in silence, they would perish in silence.
The Underworld's actions had finally caused these ancient forces to unite. This was because they knew that if they blindly fought alone, they would only be wiped out by the Underworld one by one.
Only by uniting all of their forces, they would have the power to fight even if the Divine King Ye Xuan was behind the Underworld.
It was not that these ancient forces wanted to fight to the death with the Underworld. Instead, the Underworld's actions had crossed their bottom line. There was no room for reconciliation.
