Yunxin was originally a martial artist, but she had always been with Haoyue and greatly admired Haoyue's composure in the face of anything. Therefore, she deliberately tried to act like Haoyue. She had learned the gentle tone, but she was still not as calm as Haoyue.
Situ Jingyan gave Yun Xin a cold glance, and Yun Xin felt as if that glance had plunged him into an ice cave. Situ Jingyan had never looked at him so coldly before. Even when he was defeated, Situ Jingyan had only casually scolded him. Was a Demon Palace Master really that important to Situ Jingyan?
"I believe the Demon Palace Master has her own reasons," Haoyue said confidently after a moment of contemplation. The more he thought about Shen Qianmo's reaction that day, the more suspicious he became. That kind of woman was not one to give up easily, especially since her final smile was so confident and flamboyant.
Situ Jingyan's expression finally softened slightly. He naturally knew that Shen Qianmo wouldn't truly leave him. Given her background, she was probably only after the martial arts alliance leader position, hoping to use the power of the martial arts world to help him.
However, the position of leader of the martial arts alliance is not so easy to obtain! But Shen Qianmo is extremely proud and would definitely not want to be implicated by her.
"Tell Yan Xiuling that I have agreed to the marriage alliance," Situ Jingyan said coldly, a hint of displeasure flashing in his dark eyes.
Upon hearing this, Haoyue and Yunxin both showed expressions of relief, but Situ Jingyan's next words caused their expressions to change.
"For the next three months, I'll leave the affairs of Tianmo to you."
"Your Majesty?!" Haoyue exclaimed in surprise. Did Situ Jingyan mean he was leaving Tianmo Capital?! Could it be to pursue Chen Qianmo?
Situ Jingyan gripped the paper tightly, a resolute glint in his obsidian-like eyes, and said coldly, "My decision needs no questioning!"
"Yes," Haoyue and Yunxin replied hastily. This matter had already violated Situ Jingyan's taboos, and if it weren't for their loyalty, it probably wouldn't have been resolved so easily.
As long as we don't fall out with Linwei, everything is fine.
Situ Jingyan left the palace with Qingsong and Hongmei. Qingzhu continued to manage the affairs of the Enchanting Blood Pavilion for Situ Jingyan, and another woman had been promoted to take over Hongju's position. Hongmei, Qingsong, and Qingzhu did not seem to react much to Hongju's death, but their grief was evident in their cold expressions.
After all, they had been through thick and thin together for several years. How could outsiders possibly understand such a bond?! But this was Hongju's own decision, and they wouldn't question it.
"Situ Jingyan actually agreed?!" In the Linwei Imperial Palace, Yan Xiuling, dressed in a dragon robe, raised his eyebrows slightly, holding the message from his subordinate, and said in confusion.
He knew all too well Situ Jingyan's feelings for Shen Qianmo. He had originally intended to use this weakness to strike first, but Situ Jingyan actually agreed?! This was completely unexpected.
“Reporting to Young Master, it was Haoyue who secretly met with the one from Rumengxuan and got her to leave the capital of Tianmo Kingdom. And Situ Jingyan also chased after her on the same day,” a woman dressed in light pink calmly replied.
"So it's Haoyue. I had forgotten about him." Yan Xiuling glanced at the woman in pink, with the same baby face and delicate features. "Qinglian, continue to send people to keep an eye on Situ Jingyan and Shen Qianmo's whereabouts. Also, inform Tang Yun that the position of martial arts alliance leader may not be so easy to obtain."
"Yes," Qinglian replied calmly.
A hint of tenderness flashed in Yan Xiuling's eyes as she said softly, "Thank you for your hard work, little sister."
Qinglian looked up excitedly, a hint of joy and emotion flashing across her eyes, but it eventually turned into calm as she slowly left the room.
Yes. Qinglian is Yan Xiuling's younger sister, his half-sister. She is the daughter of her mother and the man she loved. From the moment he began to seize power and prepare to conquer the world, this younger sister has been by his side.
"Jingyan, I'm really afraid we'll both end up hurting each other." Yan Xiuling tapped the table absently. He roughly knew why Shen Qianmo had left and why Situ Jingyan had chased after her. It was probably for the position of martial arts alliance leader, and also for the Xuan Tie Token.
Last time, Tang Yun's attempt to threaten Xuan Lou into handing over the Xuan Iron Token failed, but he learned that Xuan Lou's mother's poison had been cured. That poison could only be neutralized by the ninth level of the Enchanting Blood Illusion technique. Jingyan, you've actually mastered the ninth level of the Enchanting Blood Illusion technique? Then, I'm afraid I'm no match for you.
Although I cannot surpass you in martial arts, I will not relinquish this empire to you.
Yan Xiuling gave a cryptic smile. All her thoughts were hidden beneath her baby face.
At this moment, Shen Qianmo had already arrived in Phoenix Feather City, the place where the martial arts alliance was pursuing their main characters.
The martial arts tournament is still a full month away, but Phoenix Feather City has already gathered heroes from all directions. Not only are inns and restaurants packed to capacity, but the daily casualties are also significantly higher than before.
The martial arts tournament hasn't even started yet, but the struggle between these martial artists has already begun. During the tournament, only skill matters, but before the tournament, there are various ways to eliminate powerful opponents.
"Hmph! You filthy woman! I advise you to submit to me obediently, and I might spare your life!" A cocky and lewd male voice entered her ears, and Shen Qianmo's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.
Looking up, I saw a woman dressed in white coldly facing seven men, and the one who had just spoken was the leader, a man with a long beard.
"Bah! You Seven Ghosts of Jiangnan are despicable and vile! I would rather die than associate with you!" The woman in white had cold eyes and an icy expression.
Shen Qianmo's lips curled slightly. Who did she think it was? It turned out to be the Seven Ghosts of Jiangnan. Hadn't they suffered enough at her hands back then? They actually wanted to bully the weak with numbers. However, this woman seemed to be from the Zixia Sect, and her martial arts skills seemed to be quite strong. Even if the Seven Ghosts of Jiangnan tried to bully the weak with numbers, they might not be able to gain the upper hand.
"Miss, should we make a move?" Qianqian followed behind Shen Qianmo, already itching to act.
"Hmm?" Shen Qianmo raised an eyebrow slightly, looking at Qianqian. Qianqian immediately realized and said with a smile, "I forgot, it's the Palace Master."
At this moment, Shen Qianmo was dressed in a moon-white robe, dressed as a man, and looked exactly like Mo Chi, the master of the Demon Palace.
While Qianqian and Shen Qianmo were still talking, the Seven Ghosts of Jiangnan and the woman in white had already started fighting. Shen Qianmo was right; the woman in white's kung fu was indeed superior to the Seven Ghosts of Jiangnan, and her moves were quite beautiful.
Shen Qianmo frowned again, watching the woman in white make her move. Her skill was clearly superior to that of the Seven Ghosts of Jiangnan, but why did she seem to be powerless? Upon closer inspection, the woman in white's face was shockingly pale, but there was a red dot between her eyebrows.
Cinnabar Tears. This is a poison of the Tang Clan. The more the poisoned person exerts their internal energy, the more the poison will take effect. Once the red dot turns into the shape of a tear, the poisoned person will lose all their internal energy and become like a cripple.
She hadn't expected the Tang Clan to be so ruthless, poisoning a woman?! She wasn't unfamiliar with the Tang Clan's actions, but the martial world had its rules, and she couldn't interfere too much in their affairs. The Demon Palace and the Tang Clan had always kept to themselves. However, now that she'd stumbled upon this situation, she couldn't simply ignore it!
"Hmph!" Shen Qianmo's white silk ribbon flew out, and she gracefully stepped forward. Her eyes were cold, and her movements were as swift as lightning. The white silk ribbon mercilessly sliced across the necks of the seven people.
In a mere instant, all seven Jiangnan demons were dead at her hands. Back when she was a newcomer, she wasn't as ruthless as she is now. She had a moment of weakness and let those seven go, never expecting it to cause such trouble. Now that she had encountered them again, she could no longer tolerate them.
With a cold expression, Shen Qianmo put away the white silk ribbon. His eyes remained unchanged as he gracefully walked to the woman in white.
"Thank you for saving me, young master." The woman in white looked at Shen Qianmo with a mixture of amazement and admiration after seeing the Seven Ghosts of Jiangnan wiped out in a single move.
When her bright, watery eyes met Shen Qianmo's unparalleled beauty, they flickered slightly. It seemed to be admiration, it seemed to be reverence, she simply gazed at Shen Qianmo with gentle eyes.
She had thought she was destined to die at the hands of villains, but unexpectedly, she was saved, and the one who saved her was such a handsome and dashing man. However, she had already been poisoned by the Cinnabar Tear, and the use of her inner strength had triggered the deadly poison. She would soon become a cripple, then age rapidly, and finally die.
"How did you get involved with the Tang Clan, young lady?" Shen Qianmo saw the despair in the white-clad woman's eyes, but simply smiled gracefully and asked calmly, "The Cinnabar Tear?!" It wasn't that she couldn't solve it, but the white-clad woman's identity was unknown, and she didn't know what connection she had with the Tang Clan.
