"Hehe, although Elder Sister is from the Demon Realm, you are well-informed. However, clowns are not even worth a mention. If it was really Elder Sister Haitang who took over the Hidden Killer Hall, would you still be afraid of these people? "
Zhao Yun no longer paid attention to Wang Yue, Hu Lan, and the others' gossip, and focused on recovering his power. "The more zhenqi I have, the more help I have. I must not disappoint everyone."
Everyone anxiously rushed back to Lianyue Peak's Heavenly Incense Palace, only to see that the former beauty had turned into rubble, the enchanting Hundred Flower Hall was covered in thick smoke, the bustling Fragrance Pavilion was filled with sorrow, and the noisy Moon Viewing Pond was silent. Coupled with the mountains that were like the sea and the setting sun that was like blood, even Zhao Yun, who had a heart of stone, could not resist the urge to cry.
Although Madame Haitang was unharmed and tried her best to remain calm, her grief could not be concealed. She recounted the situation to Zhao Yun and the others. "When I returned to Heavenly Incense Palace, the Lingyun Temple and the other five sects' allied forces had already retreated. This time, it was all thanks to the leadership of Mei Xue's four maidservants, Kuan Niang, and the others. They resisted and retreated at the same time. Although Heavenly Incense Palace was crippled, it still retained the strength to rise again. "
Zhao Yun suddenly felt a pang of heartache. He really wanted to immediately embrace Haitang in his arms and comfort her. However, he understood that such an action would not only be of no help to a heart that was weeping blood, it would only deepen the pain.
He looked at Mei Xue, Lan Xue, Zhu Xue, and Ju Xue who were covered in injuries. Their four peerlessly beautiful faces were no longer as lively and delicate as before, and only blankness and resentment remained.
"All of this is because of me, right? Although Heavenly Incense Palace was an evil sect's demoness that everyone hated, it was actually quite popular with people from all walks of life. No matter how big the grudges between the righteous and evil sects were, they would not involve Heavenly Incense Palace. From the moment I met Haitang, the peace and tranquility of the past was destined to be filled with bloodshed. "
Zhao Yun suddenly had an impulse. She said gently to Mei Xue, "Mei Xue, go and call everyone to the Hundred Flowers Hall. Tell them that Zhao Yun has something to say to everyone."
The Four Beauties of Heavenly Fragrance pursed their lips. They forced themselves to stay awake and left to carry out their orders.
Zhao Yun held Madame Haitang's delicate hand, but she felt that it was ice-cold to the touch. Her heart ached even more as she said, "Haitang, this time I'm going to act on my own initiative."
Although Madame Haitang had the Seven Exquisite Skills, she couldn't figure out Zhao Yun's intentions under the pain. She forced a smile and said, "Do whatever you want."
Even Hu Qing and Hu Lan, who were familiar with Zhao Yun's temperament, couldn't guess Zhao Yun's intentions. They were very puzzled, "Langjun, what are you planning to do?"
Not long after, the three hundred or so survivors of Heavenly Incense Palace stood silently in the Hundred Flowers Hall with sorrowful expressions. The magnificent roof was no longer there. The atmosphere of laughter and banter was even more absent. They just stared blankly at Zhao Yun who was high up on the mound.
Zhao Yun frowned slightly. She asked Mei Xue, "I said everyone to you! What about those dead sisters? "
Mei Xue was stunned. She didn't know why Zhao Yun would make such a request. At this time, the battle had just ended. The corpses of the sacrificed women hadn't been buried yet. However, most of these corpses died miserably. There were even some who were tortured to death after being stripped of their clothes by the bandits. If these corpses were brought out in front of everyone, she was afraid that it would only increase the anger of the survivors. It might even cause the situation to go out of control.
Mei Xue couldn't help but glance at Madame Haitang. Seeing her nod, she respectfully bowed and said, "This servant understands." Turning her head, she instructed the women, "Everyone, disperse first. Bring the dead sisters over."
After a long time, they saw rows of corpses strewn across the desolate hall. Endless wailing and sobbing could be heard. The women's slightly calmed state of mind was once again like a flood breaking through a dam. It couldn't be stopped, and it overflowed into waves.
Zhao Yun saw the ice-cold corpses of Si Qin and Si Hua. These two had once served by her side when she was disfigured. Now, their moving voices and appearances had become silent people with bloodstains all over their faces. Zhao Yun saw the panic of Si Shu who had lost an arm. This woman had once diligently escorted her to the outside of Bai Hua Palace Hall. Her eyes were filled with silent affection. Now, her graceful figure was already a faded flower. Zhao Yun saw a lot of grief and anger. This large group of young and beautiful women had their most beautiful dreams ruined by this disaster.
Zhao Yun's expression turned solemn. She stood back up on the mound of ashes and asked the women below the stage in a clear voice, "Do you know who I am?"
The women stopped crying and stopped crying. They said in unison, "Gongzhu!" Although this cry was as mournful as before, because of their common hatred for a common enemy, it actually contained the courage to revive from the ashes.
Zhao Yun laughed at herself, "Heh, what kind of Gongzhu am I?" She continued, "I caused Tianxiang Palace to suffer such heavy losses. Do you hate me?"
The women didn't dare to answer. They were completely silent. However, there was still a trace of resentment in their nostrils.
Zhao Yun's gaze was unprecedentedly gentle, "I know that there must be a lot of people who hate me to death. Yes, what kind of Gongzhu am I? I have always been a solo swordsman. When have I ever put Tianxiang Palace in my heart? "
Madame Haitang's eyes suddenly overflowed with tears. She shouted, "Zhao Yun, you must not speak like this. This is simply my … "
"Haitang, let me speak." Zhao Yun waved her hand at Madame Haitang, cutting off Madame Haitang's words. She looked at the silent and sad women below the stage again, "Do you know? Haitang told me that I am the husband of Tianxiang Palace's Gongzhu. Naturally, I am the true Tianxiang Palace's Gongzhu. Everything in Tianxiang Palace is decided by me. However, I have never taken it to heart. However, all of you have taken it to heart. You are all respectful to me, a young brat whom you have rarely met or even understood. I still remember clearly that on Tianhua Mountain, the sisters of the Tianxiang Female Guard stood in front of me to protect me. They didn't even hesitate to use their own lives in exchange for my safety. Now, more than half of the Tianxiang Female Guard are dead. There are many familiar faces among the rows of corpses on the ground, but I can't name them. "
The dozens of surviving Tianxiang Female Guard suddenly knelt on the ground. The leader held back her tears and said, "Protecting Gongzhu and Tianxiang Palace is our duty. Although the sisters sacrificed themselves, they left with smiles on their faces. They have no regrets. We sisters who survived are even more proud of them. "
"All of you, stand up." Zhao Yun's Four Symbols Vital Qi was unleashed. She helped the Tianxiang Female Guard up and suddenly shouted, "Ah, Tianxiang Palace's Gongzhu!"
The howl was filled with an impassioned and impassioned voice that shook the hearts of all, and it hid a bellyful of rage and boundless desolation within its unyielding and heroic spirit.
