All the sects and clans sent their troops to attack the Sacrificial Shadow Sect. They went straight to their headquarters and killed all the remaining traitors. After the bloody battle in the secret chamber, they finally got through the daunting experience without any mishap and completely eradicated this scourge. For a time, it became a story of praise in the Jianghu. Quite a few teahouses had also adapted this battle into a popular version that was passed down orally. They introduced storytellers and added a lot of sauce to the story, spreading it wantonly.
When the sects who were personally involved in this matter walked in the martial arts world, they all held their heads high, as if they were a few ranks higher than others. They all boasted that they were the saviors of the world. There were also some commoners who pestered people they were familiar with, begging them to elaborate.
As the story spread too much, it was inevitable that it would be distorted. Aside from the fact that everyone was sticking gold on their own faces, the main characters were also deified. This great battle was described as a hero defeating a mountain bandit in two or three moves. He used the move "Great Peng Spreads Its Wings", and Demon Head Jiang's entire body was covered in blood. I used the move "White Crane Soars the Sky". Demon Jiang abandoned his sword and admitted defeat. He kowtowed and begged for mercy, calling me "Grandpa" three times. The only fly in the ointment was that the Hierarch of the Demonic Sect had escaped after the war. Paper could not contain fire, and the news had leaked out.
When the crowd heard this, they were shocked. They did not know whether this devil was dead or alive. If they gave him time to recuperate, in the future when his injuries were healed and his power was restored, it would inevitably lead to a great disaster. Therefore, the elites of each sect were sent out to search for him. They wanted nothing more than to turn over every single piece of land. They wanted to get rid of him before anything else happened, so as to ensure the peace of the world.
At the same time, the mysterious girl who suddenly appeared at the last moment and saved him was also a hot topic among the old and young at the alley. Quite a few idle people set up the Dragon's Gate Formation. There were even people in the gambling house who used this as the banker to guess the girl's true identity. The world of martial artists was in a state of panic, but in the vast Chinese plains, finding two people who were intentionally hiding was the same as finding a needle in a haystack.
The young girl was Cheng Jiaxuan. She had been ordered by Shen Shiyun to bring the Shadow Sword to the various sects to commit atrocities and assassinate the Sect Leader. Her goal was to sow discord between the Wulin and the Sacrifice Shadow Sect. It was a good idea to borrow a knife to kill someone, but because it provoked the public's anger, before the knife could be borrowed, more than half of the people had already taken the initiative to deliver it.
The success of this matter was largely due to the Afterimage Sword. That was one of the Seven Evils Treasures. No matter how weak the wielder was in the past, the wielder would be able to communicate with the wielder's mind, instantly stimulating the wielder's potential and unleashing the greatest power, allowing the wielder to become an expert in the way of the sword. At the same time, after mastering it, one would be able to control it with ease. If he obtained it, he would be able to dominate the martial arts world, and no one would be able to surpass him. Therefore, everyone coveted this treasured sword.
Cheng Jiaxuan was originally very clever and clever. After using it a few times, he became familiar with the subtlety of it. Coupled with some specious performances, he completed the task exceptionally well, even far exceeding Shen Shiyun's expectations.
Cheng Jiaxuan's way of doing things was always unpredictable. When she heard that they were going to exterminate the Sacrificial Shadow Sect, she excitedly followed behind them. His mind was filled with thoughts of being able to see the Devil Cult Hierarch again. Ever since Hetu 'ala had first met him, his heart had not stopped thinking about him. Every time he told the others that he was from the Sacrificial Shadow Sect, she wondered if he had said the same thing when he was out on a mission in the past. She also thought that if she could always be by his side, even if she had to be a servant, she would not mind at all. She would even feel very happy about it.
It just so happened that the group this time was very large, and everyone had their own concerns, so they did not care about a little girl like her. Even if she looked unfamiliar, they would just treat her as a disciple of another sect. At that critical moment, nobody wanted to cause any more trouble.
An Yesun suddenly found the assassins on the isolated cliff. She was so scared that her heart almost jumped out of her chest. After crossing the iron chain, there were fewer people, but all of them were martial art experts, so they would definitely attract a lot of attention. She had no choice but to wait for the others to pass. First she tried to persuade the surrendered disciples of the Sacrificial Shadow Sect to take advantage of the chaos to escape. Then she drugged the remaining righteous people and used her lightness kungfu to cross the bridge.
Her martial art skill was not good, she only learned two or three stances, and her internal energy was even more shallow. She was really worried that if she was not careful, she would lose her footing and fall down. She also thought that even if she was going to die, she could not die without seeing him. She encouraged herself all the way, and unexpectedly, she really did persevere. She did not know if the Heavens were blessing her, or if they were just taking a nap.
It took her a lot of effort to set up the mechanism in the tunnel. When she finally reached the secret room, she took advantage of the thick smoke to hide in the chaos. At the very end, she 'dropped from the sky' and released a smoke bomb to block everyone's line of sight. At that time, she was standing next to Jiang Liechen. In the vast expanse of emptiness, as soon as her hand fell, she suddenly felt him pulling on her sleeve and pointing at her in a low voice. It turned out that there was a statue on the inside, and after it turned around, there was another secret passage, which she could use to escape. After he finished speaking, he did not make any sound, presumably he fainted again.
At that time, he was unconscious and carelessly leaned on the person next to him, but actually, he did not open his eyes to look at her. Even so, she made him feel her existence as an individual, which was enough for her to be excited for several days and several nights.
After she carried Jiang Liechen and escaped from the headquarters, she thought that the righteous people would soon catch up, but she did not know where to hide. She also had to think about what to do in the future. Fortunately, she did not encounter any pursuers along the way. After a day or so, she finally found a dilapidated temple in the middle of a barren mountain to hide.
This area was desolate and uninhabited. Even birds and beasts were rarely seen. The golden paint on the statue in the temple was peeling off in large chunks, and a thick layer of dust had accumulated on the incense table. When she reached out to touch it, her fingers immediately turned gray. Scattered around were small pieces of incense and candles that had been burned to ashes. They must have not received incense for many years, making the scene very desolate.
However, Cheng Jiaxuan was not a devout believer. After sighing with emotion for a while, she began to worry about her own affairs. She was extremely lacking in experience in taking care of people. In the past, when she was in the Snow Song Palace, the windows were bright and clean, so she did not need to do much cleaning. She just had to put on a show.
Shen Shiyun was busy all year round, so she rarely interacted with him. Although Xuan Shuang was a child, he was very good at taking care of himself. He did not need her to take care of his daily necessities. This time, however, she was not so idle. She reluctantly cleared out an empty space and laid down some thatch. She only lay down here or there. She had no intention of taking care of the entire temple.
Jiang Liechen was still in a daze. Many times, he would spit out a few mouthfuls of blood before fainting again. The wounds on his body would often split open, causing him to bleed incessantly. Cheng Jiaxuan had no choice but to take the risk and go down the mountain. He caught a few hairy men to treat his illness. After writing a prescription, he was afraid that they would reveal the secret, so he killed them one by one to silence them.
She did not dare to go back and forth too much in town. She could not go to the medicine shop to get a few herbs, so she could only carry a bamboo basket and go up the mountain to pick herbs. Her delicate skin had been scratched by the long, sharp grass, and her legs were so numb that they had lost all feeling. Every morning, she would have cramps. Sometimes, she would cry because of the pain. However, every time she went to the temple, she did not show the slightest bit of displeasure and continued to serve him wholeheartedly.
Occasionally, when she had free time, she would lean over by his side and stare intently at him. When she was admiring him in the underground palace of the royal tomb, she was still far away at that time. Most of the time, she was observing him from the side. It was not as satisfying as it was now. She also felt that even though they were facing each other, his cold and handsome appearance did not diminish in the slightest. Sometimes, when her heart was rippling, she would gently raise her hand to caress his face. She was afraid that he would feel it, so she would withdraw her hand after a light touch. She did not know that among the Jianghu women she was jealous of, other than Luo Jin, she was the only one who could be this close to him.
A few days later, a stormy night arrived. The sky was as dark as ink, but in the middle of it, there was a faint patch of pale white. Thunder exploded in the sky one after another, and heavy rain poured down in torrents. Cheng Jiaxuan was not afraid of the thunder, but listening to it made his heart flutter. She walked forward and closed the temple door. Then she returned to the pile of straw and sat against the wall for a while. During this period of time, the total time she closed her eyes did not exceed two shichen. The tiredness accumulated over the past few days, her eyelids grew heavier and heavier. Slowly, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Jiang Liechen's internal energy foundation was very deep. This time, even though he was seriously injured, he still managed to pull his life back from the jaws of death. After many days of peaceful sleep, the zhenqi in his body automatically adjusted and flowed into his meridians. The turbulence was not as dangerous as it was a few days ago. Several doctors also bandaged his wounds to stop the bleeding. He also took some pills that were concocted according to the prescription. As expected, he was getting better and better day by day.
That night, he did not know whether it was because his zhenqi had returned to its original position or because he was awakened by the thunder, but he miraculously regained his consciousness. He slowly sat up and looked around. He saw that the walls were broken and the ground was covered with a few pieces of straw. There were a few holes in the wall. Gusts of wind blew in through these holes. Raindrops splashed against his face and body. It was really annoying.
The cloth strips that were used to fix the wall had long been blown away by the wind. Only one corner was firmly nailed down. The other half was fluttering. What he saw in front of him showed that this was an extremely dilapidated and old place. It was a world of difference from the Sacrifice Shadow Cult's secret room.
He also remembered that the Sacrifice Shadow Cult had been destroyed. He was besieged by the righteous sects. He did not even have the chance to use his last weapon before he was seriously injured and fainted. He did not know what happened after that. "I … why am I not dead?" he muttered.
Cheng Jiaxuan was a light sleeper. He would be awakened by even the slightest movement. Moreover, this time he had something on his mind. In his daze, he heard a noise. He immediately sat up and rubbed his eyes. He saw that Jiang Liechen had also sat up. He happily said, "You're awake?" He was so happy that he immediately pounced forward.
Jiang Jianchen's mind was still immersed in the bloody battle a few days ago. He was surrounded by enemies, each of them wielding their weapons to take his life. Suddenly, he saw a strange girl pouncing on him. He had never seen her before, and he didn't know who she was. Subconsciously, he wanted to defend himself. But his whole body was sore and weak. Every time he moved his hands or feet, it would aggravate his wounds. The pain was unbearable. He did not have the least bit of strength left. When she pounced on him, there was nothing he could do. He also felt that her body was soft and she appeared to be very obedient. She did not seem to have any evil intentions, but he could not easily predict her intentions.
By this time Cheng Jiaxuan had taken off her veil and was hugging his arm. Although Jiang Liechen knew that she was not trying to capture him, he was not used to other people touching him. Annoyed, he pulled his arm away. Then he felt a pain in his chest.
Cheng Jiaxuan did not seem to notice his repulsion. She only happily said, "You're awake? That's great. I was really afraid that you … would sleep forever and never wake up again. "
Jiang Liechen thought, "What's there to be afraid of? Could it be that she was afraid that I would die? This woman is very strange. Nowadays in Jianghu, who doesn't want me to die as soon as possible? Why is she so happy that I am not dead? What kind of trick is she playing? "He probed," Where is this? I … how did I get here? "
Ever since the first time they met, Cheng Jiaxuan's biggest wish was that he would talk to her. Right now, in this small space, the two of them were alone. He could not ignore her. She was so happy that she almost fainted. She also wanted to scream. With great difficulty, she suppressed her extreme excitement and answered in all seriousness, "This is an abandoned little temple on a barren mountain. It was me … "
She was going to say 'it was me who saved you', but then she thought that this would inevitably sound like she was trying to remind him to repay her kindness. She abruptly stopped herself and swallowed her words. She changed her words and said, "Don't worry. This place is very remote. Your enemies won't be able to find you here. You can recuperate in peace. You don't need to worry. "
Jiang Liechen muttered to himself, "My enemies … humph … um … they definitely won't let me go. Right now they must be hunting me all over Jianghu. Ah, originally I thought I was going to die, but unexpectedly I was so lucky. The Heaven has not abandoned me … all the hegemony, the Way of the Heaven is destined to be mine …" He turned his gaze to Cheng Jiaxuan and said, "The one who saved me was you?"
