He stepped forward to stop her, but Yun Sheng and the others would not allow him to do as he pleased.
"Bat King," the zong master ordered.
The bat king flapped its wings and was about to twist Xuan Wuji's neck with its sharp claws.
But at that moment, someone was even faster than the bat king.
Xuan Wuji had never imagined that he would one day die at the hands of Yuan Shahua.
Yuan Shahua waved her right hand, and the strings on her guzheng cracked. The strings were extremely sharp, and like an arrow, they pierced Xuan Wuji's throat.
Xuan Wuji could only smell blood. His eyes widened. Even in death, he could not believe that Yuan Shahua would kill him.
"Xuan Wuji, when you threatened me with Bupo's safety back then, you should have known that you would end up like this." Yuan Shahua's face was as cold as ice under her veil.
Back then, she had been forced to write a letter to lure Yun Canglang to the southern border because Xuan Wuji had used her younger brother, Yuan Bupo, as a hostage.
He had also promised that he would not kill Yun Canglang.
Who would have known that in that battle, Yun Canglang would be crippled and suffer a fate worse than death? The Yun Family army would suffer countless casualties.
By the time Yuan Shahua rushed over, it was already too late.
Yun Canglang hated Yuan Shahua to the core. Because of the pressure from her family, she had no choice but to leave the southern border of Zhou State with Xuan Wuji. Because of this, she had missed the best opportunity to bury the hatchet with Yun Canglang.
Yuan Sha Hua looked weak, but in reality, she was the most unyielding.
If she loved someone, she would not abandon them. If she hated someone, she would hate them to the point of death.
She insisted on leaving Grand Emperor City. Over the years, every winter, she would quietly wait for Yun Canglang at the Yun Family army camp on the outskirts of Jade Capital, hoping to meet him.
Unfortunately, Yun Canglang remained in the Yun residence. Because of a misunderstanding, the two of them were separated for eight years.
It was also a coincidence that the oriole accidentally froze while washing clothes by the river. Yuan Shahua saw it, and a Di Hong Song saved the oriole's life.
All of this seemed to have been predestined.
After killing Xuan Wuji, Yuan Shahua's expression did not change. She looked up at the sky in disappointment, at the man she had not seen for many years.
After eight years, she met Yun Canglang again.
He was still as handsome and stalwart as before. He was still the good boy that the two of them had first met, but she was no longer the same as before.
Yuan Sha Hua couldn't help but cry. Her tears wet her veil, but the strings under her fingers didn't relax in the slightest. Even with one string missing, Yuan Sha Hua's zither music was still surging with passion.
This was indeed true to the ancient saying, 'Evil has its retribution'.
When the First Elder saw this scene, he didn't show much anger.
He already knew what would happen to Xuan Wuji.
Indeed, Xuan Wuji had made a huge mistake this time.
Although the Grand Elder had been ordered by the City Lord to do his best to bring him back, he had even used the emperor totem jade.
However, he did not expect that the Emperor's Totem Jade would be snatched away by the opponent's female sorcerer. This was something that the Great Elder did not expect.
Judging from Yun Sheng's situation just now, she must have something to do with the Mythological Beasts, and she seemed to have inherited the Elven Hellfire.
Even Liu Changfeng, the Grand Elder of the Grand Emperor City, did not dare to offend a young lady who might have a close relationship with the Elf Tribe.
The Grand Elder had a clear conscience for not saving Xuan Wuji in front of such a person.
In fact, the Grand Elder had his own selfish motives from the bottom of his heart.
About a month ago, after Yuan Bupo brought the injured Xuan Meimei back to the Grand Emperor City, he told the Yuan Clan Leader about his fortuitous encounter.
He then set off to the place that Bi An mentioned, and he was lucky enough to find a sacred beast, the Chongming Bird, that had just hatched.
Since he had comprehended the sixth chapter of the Di Hong Song and gained the recognition of the sacred beast, the Chongming Bird, Yuan Bupo's status in the Grand Emperor City immediately rose.
Although the City Lord of the Grand Emperor City had not made it clear, everyone in the city, including a few elders, unanimously believed that Yuan Bupo would become the City Lord of the Grand Emperor City in the future.
As such, it was no longer important whether Xuan Wuji returned or not.
From the bottom of his heart, the Grand Elder was also unwilling to bring Xuan Wuji back to the Grand Emperor City. Otherwise, if he angered the Yun Residence and revealed the power behind the Bloody Hand Tycoon, the reputation that the Grand Emperor City had built up over the years would be destroyed.
That was why he pretended to compete with Yun Canglang and left Xuan Wuji at the side.
To him, Xuan Wuji's death was within reason.
However, if Xuan Wuji was killed, it would be difficult for him to explain to the City Lord and his wife. As such, killing Yun Canglang was imperative.
However, when he saw Yuan Sha Hua, he could not help but sigh. He did not expect Yuan Sha Hua, who had left the Grand Emperor City many years ago, to live in Nanming Town. It was probably because of the Di Hong Song that she heard the sound of the flute and came looking for him.
The sonorous ancient war song fell beside Yun Canglang's ears. He felt that his exhausted battle energy had been completely restored at that moment.
He remembered.
During the battle of life and death, when he and the Yun Family Army had narrowly escaped death, it was the same song.
Sha Hua, is that you?
"Ah — —" There was an earth-shattering roar.
Within Yun Canglang's body, a biting cold incomparable qi, like a sword, gushed out from his body.
The First Elder could not help but be shocked.
This feeling, could it be that he was about to break through!
Yun Canglang unexpectedly broke through at the critical moment of the battle of life and death.
Yun Canglang's body, with the help of the nine-leaf Sage Ginseng, had always retained divine power in his body.
Yun Canglang's breakthrough was earth-shattering.
The advancement of a Martial Saint was earth-shattering, and could cause strange phenomena to occur.
In the sky, there was a sudden clap of thunder, and countless thick clouds gathered toward Yun Canglang.
The sky suddenly darkened, and on the ground, there were gusts of hurricanes, flying sand and stones.
A faint violent thunderstorm force was constantly gathering in the clouds.
Seeing this situation, the First Elder was greatly alarmed, and did not dare to attack rashly.
He suddenly landed on the ground, grabbed Yuan Sha Hua, and dashed into the distance.
"Zong Yi, what's going on?" Yun Sheng's eyes widened, looking up at her second uncle who was standing upright and unafraid in the sky.
"Master, your second uncle is about to advance, and it's the most powerful advancement among the Martial Saints. There are many ways to advance to the Martial Saint realm, and it is said that the most powerful way can attract the help of heavenly lightning, and refine the body. This process is extremely dangerous, but if he can endure it, he is bound to become a top expert among the Martial Saints. "The Zong Yi clicked his tongue in wonder, pulling Yun Sheng to one side.
Heavenly lightning refining the body, this was not an encounter that ordinary people would encounter, it was a challenge from the strongest!
Even though there had been many Martial Saints on the continent over the years, the only one who could attract heavenly lightning to refine the body was Yun Canglang.
