Chapter 1316

Jingling is located beside the Han River.

It is an extremely important throat of a place. Since the death of Yang Guang, this place has wandered around, constantly changing hands. The Demonic gate also had plans here that day, and Wanwan, a successor of the Yin Gui Sect, even went so far as to disguise herself as the favorite concubine of Fang Zetao, the master of the Duba Villa, wreaking havoc on all of Jingling. Because of the Demonic gate's schemes, Jingling was in constant strife, but in the end, the Demonic gate did not gain any benefits.

Because Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling exposed the Demonic gate's conspiracy, in the end, Wanwan had to leave Jingling, and Jingling eventually fell into the hands of Du Fuwei of Jianghuai, who was the convenient godfather of Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling.

But since the Demonic gate had originally prepared to scheme for Jingling, how could the dark agents in Jingling be only this few?

Even if Wanwan had temporarily left Jingling, many people of the Demonic gate were still lurking in Jingling City.

For the people of the Demonic gate, the world being in chaos now was also their time to shine.

The Cihang Jingzhai considered itself to be acting on Heaven's mandate; earlier in Luoyang, they had even prepared to use the He Clan Jade to select an emperor.

The people of the Demonic gate naturally could not stand this move by the Cihang Jingzhai, and even clapped and cheered at the death of Liaokong and the disappearance of the He Clan Jade.

Of course, regarding who killed Liaokong, the Demonic gate remained curious.

In Jingling City.

Between a dense forest.

A refined-looking man was followed by a stunningly beautiful woman, and they were waiting here silently.

After waiting for a long time, a sound of breaking through the air suddenly spread.

The sound of breaking through the air stopped abruptly.

The stars in the sky twinkled like a galaxy hanging under the firmament, but under the slanting light of the bright moon, between the dense forest, a woman with plain and elegant clothing, her face hidden deep within heavy veils, appeared out of nowhere.

This woman had a graceful and slender figure, a high bun on her head, and drifted here on the wind. Her beauty was like that of a moon goddess stepping out of the Moon Palace step by step, a fairy from the Moon Palace fallen into the mortal world.

Seeing the other party arrive, a faint smile appeared on Shi Zhixuan's face, "Yuyan, long time no see～～!"

The person who came was none other than the Sect Master of the Yin Gui Sect of the Demonic gate, Zhu Yuyan, known as the Demonic Queen.

"Shi Zhixuan!!"

Upon seeing Shi Zhixuan, Zhu Yuyan was immediately furious, the anger in her heart burning fiercely.

Ever since Shi Zhixuan retired from the martial arts world because of Bi Xiuxin, she had been searching for Shi Zhixuan's whereabouts, wanting to settle their grievances, but she had been unable to find him.

This time, upon receiving Shi Zhixuan's message, she rushed over here immediately, not even informing her disciples.

Even if there might be an ambush, she was not afraid at all.

For her, she only wanted to see Shi Zhixuan again and then kill him.

"Yuyan, why are you so angry? We haven't seen each other for many years; can't we just have a good chat about old times?"

Shi Zhixuan's expression remained calm.

"Shi Zhixuan, my master died because of you; today, we should make an end of it."

Shi Zhixuan looked at Zhu Yuyan, his eyes seemingly apologetic and seemingly mocking. Because of his nature of being both holy and demonic, the state and emotions he displayed could blend two extremely contradictory and different aspects. In other words, Shi Zhixuan was a madman, a madman in the true sense.

Perhaps Shi Zhixuan was not just using Zhu Yuyan back then, but after he fused the secret techniques of the Flower-Between and Patching-Heaven sects, his temperament was affected, and his actions might not have been simple. Ever since he created the Undying Seal Technique and his spirit completely split after Bi Xiuxin's death, the current him was no longer the Shi Zhixuan of the past.

"Yuyan, although you have sent people to hunt me down all over the world these years, and even spared no effort to secretly provide information to those of the righteous path like the Cihang Jingzhai and Jingnian Chan Monastery, I still do not hate you."

"Shut up!"

Zhu Yuyan was furious; she was no longer the simple, innocent girl of the past and could no longer be fooled or deceived by a few seemingly tender and sweet words from the other party.

Precisely because she had suffered great trauma and setbacks under such sweet talk, leading to her master's death and her own inability to ascend to a higher realm of the Heavenly Demon Great Art, she held extreme disgust and resistance not only toward Shi Zhixuan but also toward the feelings between men and women.

That was why she could harden her heart to give herself to the most detested Tyrant Blade Yue Shan, bear a daughter for Yue Shan, and refuse the pursuit of rare talents like Lu Miaoji, focusing solely on expanding the sect and cultivating disciples.

Over these years, under her development, the Yin Gui Sect had grown continuously and was already the number one sect of the Demonic gate.

And the Flower-Between Sect, also one of the two sects, had gradually declined due to Shi Zhixuan's disappearance.

As long as she was given time, Zhu Yuyan firmly believed that she could unify the Demonic gate, complete the feat that only the Evil Emperor had achieved in the past, and become the master of the entire Demonic gate.

As a result, she did not expect that Shi Zhixuan, who had disappeared for many years, would appear again today.

Zhu Yuyan was worthy of being the Demonic Queen of the Demonic gate; after the initial anger, she quickly calmed down again. With a cold face, she said, "Shi Zhixuan, I know exactly what kind of person you are. After all these years, you have re-emerged in the martial arts world; what is it that you want to do?"

Shi Zhixuan's expression was as calm as ever, and he said lightly, "It is not what I want to do, but what this person beside me wants to do!"

Zhu Yuyan naturally noticed the woman beside Shi Zhixuan, but because all her attention had been on Shi Zhixuan earlier, she had directly ignored the other party. Now, hearing Shi Zhixuan's words, she immediately cast her gaze onto Yanfei.

"Are you Shi Zhixuan's daughter?"

"No, that's not right; I have seen his daughter, she doesn't look like this. So, are you his new mistress?"

Zhu Yuyan belittled the woman beside Shi Zhixuan in every way.

She did not know the other party, and even though the other party had a dignified and noble temperament and was incomparably beautiful, in Zhu Yuyan's view, since the other party chose to get involved with Shi Zhixuan, she was not a good person.

"You can eat whatever you want, but there are some things that cannot be said!"

"I wonder if that dead master of yours taught you this!"

From the moment she arrived here until now, Yanfei finally spoke. Upon speaking, it was words that made Zhu Yuyan extremely furious. She had previously used her master as an excuse to seek revenge on Shi Zhixuan, but she did not expect this woman to have heard these words and even dare to use them to mock her.

Zhu Yuyan immediately let out a cold snort.

Unexpectedly, the sound of Zhu Yuyan's cold snort did not contain much anger; on the contrary, after her cold snort, a demonic power that bewitched the soul suddenly struck out. This sound was extremely strange, as if it wanted to hook into the most fragile part of everyone's heart.
