Chapter 260 Talks
Seeing Xie Wanning's furrowed brows, Qin Muyang reached out and pressed his hand against her forehead.
"What are you doing?" Xie Wanning asked, looking up.
"Wan Ning, there's no need to worry. Whatever strange things Si Jinchuan did, he's dead now and won't threaten your safety. Besides, I'm here with you, and I'll protect you," Qin Muyang said with a light laugh.
Xie Wanning then remembered that it was Qin Muyang who had stopped Ye Qianqian from harming Tian Ruochun, and that Ye Qianqian was no match for Qin Muyang.
"Qin Muyang, what is your current cultivation level?"
"Late stage of Mahayana cultivation." Qin Muyang smiled, his tone tinged with pride.
"Such a high level of cultivation!" Xie Wanning exclaimed inwardly. Qin Muyang's cultivation was now comparable to hers. She had only barely reached the late stage of the Mahayana realm after using the power of the phoenix and absorbing spiritual energy for four years.
"Hmm." Qin Muyang slightly raised his head, his gaze falling on Xie Wanning. A confident smile unconsciously appeared on his lips. He explained, "Back then, I fell into the Chaos Sea and fell into a coma. I don't know how much time passed, but when I woke up, I was alone in the Chaos Sea, and I discovered that the power of chaos was gathering within my body. Through cultivation in the Chaos Sea, my cultivation level increased rapidly, allowing me to reach the Mahayana stage in such a short time. Rather than saying that the Chaos Sea almost killed me, it's more accurate to say that the Chaos Sea was my opportunity."
Chance?
These two words echoed in Xie Wanning's mind. It seemed that every chosen one possessed extraordinary opportunities. Zhong Yingxiu was born with a spiritual body, Su Anying had undergone divine intervention, and Qiao Qingzi even possessed a poisonous body…
She herself possesses the power of the phoenix. Is this what it means to be a chosen one?
"Anyway, it's good that you're alright." Xie Wanning said happily. She patted Qin Muyang's shoulder and said, "The sect will be holding a sect conference tomorrow, so you must come on time. Oh, as for the head of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, it has always been someone under my command. Now that you're back, the position of head of the pavilion will naturally be returned to you, Head of the sect, Qin."
"Then I must thank you, Sect Leader Xie." Qin Muyang raised his hand in a gesture of respect.
"Then I'll head back now," Xie Wanning said, waving her hand.
"Wait a moment." Qin Muyang handed over a food box and said, "This is peach blossom pastry. I know you like it."
Xie Wanning took the food box and said somewhat apologetically, "I'm sorry, I don't particularly like sweets anymore. But, as a return gift, this is for you."
A light blue jade pendant was handed to Qin Muyang. The pendant emitted wisps of cold air and was carved with the shape of a sika deer.
"This is……"
"It was left to me by my parents, and I want to give it to you." Xie Wanning's cheeks flushed slightly as she quickly turned and left.
Qin Muyang watched Xie Wanning's departing figure with a slight smile on his lips.
However, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he was surrounded by spiritual and demonic energy.
He was enveloped by chaotic energy, and countless images appeared in his mind.
Qin Muyang closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he sighed softly.
He "saw" Xie Wanning's future.
Chaos, darkness, not a single ray of light could be seen.
why?
He believed that the Chaos Sea had granted him the ability to see the future, which would allow him to avoid the tragedy of Wan Ning.
No, this is not what he wanted.
He was determined to see Wan Ning's future clearly so that she could survive.
Qin Muyang formed hand seals, absorbing the chaotic power around him. When he opened his eyes again, blood tears slowly flowed from them.
And the chaos before him finally cracked open.
At this moment, the chaotic sea churned and made a tearing sound.
"puff!"
Blood trickled from the corner of Qin Muyang's mouth, yet he wore a smile.
He knew what to do.
Day two.
Qingyun Gate, Qingyun Hall.
The once quiet Qingyun Palace has become somewhat lively.
"Finally, I don't have to worry about sect affairs anymore, haha, I've left all the sect matters to Xiao Cheng. It's been so long since I've seen Junior Sister Xie, where is she? Achoo!" Zhong Yingxiu started looking around as soon as she entered Qingyun Hall, and couldn't help but sneeze a few times. Qingyun Hall is located at the top of Qingyun Peak, and it is indeed a bit cold.
"Senior Sister Zhong, don't catch a cold," Qiao Qingzi said worriedly.
"It's not cold. Achoo!" Zhong Yingxiu sneezed again without realizing it.
A cluster of crimson flames appeared beside Zhong Yingxiu, radiating warmth.
"Senior Sister Zhong!" Xie Wanning held the Phoenix Flame in her hands and smiled as she looked at Zhong Yingxiu.
"It's much warmer now. Junior Sister Xie, you're finally here. I've really missed you." Zhong Yingxiu patted Xie Wanning's shoulder.
Afterwards, the sect leader, Xie Youdao, the leader of the Loose Cultivator Alliance, and the Demon Emperor Qingqiu Yu arrived at Qingyun Palace one after another.
"Wan Ning".
A clear voice rang out, and Qin Muyang stood somewhat uncomfortably at the entrance of Qingyun Palace.
"Senior Brother Qin!" someone exclaimed, and everyone turned to look at Qin Muyang.
"That's great, you're still alive." Li Xuanhao stood up in surprise to greet Qin Muyang.
Xie Wanning walked towards Qin Muyang, took his hand, and came to the front of the crowd.
"I am Qin Muyang, the head of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion and the Black Market Master." Qin Muyang introduced himself naturally and generously.
"Senior Brother Qin, what is your relationship with Senior Sister Xie?" Li Xuanhao asked mischievously.
"She is my fiancée." Qin Muyang's cheeks flushed slightly as he tightened his grip on Xie Wanning's hand.
A cheer erupted from the audience.
"Alright, let's get down to business." Xie Wanning, her face flushed, led Qin Muyang to sit down.
Everyone sat around a round table and began the talks.
Xie Wanning briefly explained the background and consequences of the truce between the human and demon races, as well as Xie Wanxun's identity.
"That's right, Xie Wanxun is my older sister," Xie Wanning said calmly, carefully observing the expressions of the others.
Those who already knew Xie Wanxun's identity naturally had no objections.
However, some people find it hard to accept.
“Junior Sister Xie, Xie Wanxun is the Demon Lord. Countless cultivators have died at her hands. I still can’t accept her.” Zhong Yingxiu looked at Xie Wanning very seriously.
“Yes, Xie Wan hunted down many spirit beasts and turned them into puppets. This is too much,” Xiao Shuo angrily rebuked.
"The demon race and the human race are irreconcilable enemies. We rogue cultivators have always been targeted by the demon race. Little sister, you should think carefully," Xie Youdao said seriously.
……
The talks suddenly reached a stalemate.
"If Xie Wanning would have died without the help of the demons, what do you think?" Qin Muyang suddenly stood up and glanced at Xie Wanning awkwardly.
"Don't say it." Xie Wanning hurriedly tried to cover Qin Muyang's mouth.
“Now that things have come to this, Wan Ning, there’s no need to hide it from others any longer.” Qin Muyang broke free from Xie Wan Ning and looked at everyone seriously: “Everyone, the reason we have gathered everyone here today is to explain one thing—our enemy is the Heavenly Dao, which will lead the cultivation world to its destruction, and Wan Ning will become the sacrifice.”
"How is this possible?!" someone exclaimed.
"Wan Ning, you tell the truth. It's time to tell everyone the truth."
Xie Wanning stood there in a panic, her mind blank.
Is she going to tell everyone about her rebirth?
