The fairy world collapsed, and the down-and-out gods were laid off and re-employed.

The news that Jiang Zhixia was expelled from the fairy world quickly spread throughout the three realms. At that time, many gods in heaven saw her rejecting the marriage proposal from the devil, threatening the messengers from the devil, and even contradicting the emperor of heaven. The Emperor of Heaven was furious and sent heavenly soldiers to capture her, but she fought with the heavenly soldiers again, and was finally knocked down to the mortal world by Zhenjun Zhaoheng.

No one knows what Xie Zezhi thinks.

Some people said that his palm was to protect Jiang Zhixia, but later he advised the Emperor of Heaven to remove Jiang Zhixia's immortal status and give an explanation to the devil world to avoid causing greater disputes. The Emperor approved his proposal. Only the four major sects have handed over all power, and who will take over as the leader needs to be carefully considered.

The decree to remove Jiang Zhixia from her position as the head of the family and her immortality was soon announced. What awaited her after that might be to have her immortal bones removed, or to fall into the devil's path.

The fairy world was in an uproar.

Some praised Zhaoheng for being fair and selfless; others said that he would sacrifice even the people he liked for the sake of his official career. But no immortals doubted that the two of them were acting. The main fighting faction in the fairy world also stopped. They also wanted to see how the demon world would deal with Jiang Zhixia and whether they still had the momentum they had back then.

At this time, Jiang Zhixia, who had been banished from immortal status, was sitting on the roof of Lingqing Hall, looking at the new butterfly hairpin in her hand, thinking to herself that Xie Zezhi's craftsmanship had not improved much, but for the sake of taking some time off from his busy schedule. , she would forgive him.

She smiled with a very gentle expression and put the hairpin back on.

This hairpin was given to her when he knocked her down to the mortal world. This time he didn't hesitate at all, he acted and reacted very quickly, probably because he was afraid of writing a review later.

She was very happy that this person had made great progress, and she was even more pleased that Zhang Hesong finally listened to what she said that night and made the most correct decision in such an emergency.

That night she asked Zhang Hesong if he wanted to change the fairy world. If he wanted to, he should not be afraid of bloodshed and sacrifice, because no kind of peace can be obtained by escaping and compromising. Only those who are not afraid of death can live.

Xie Zezhi's idea may seem cruel but useful.

Sacrifice a small number of people to spy on the demon world's trump card, and then save the lives of most people and reduce unnecessary losses.

She wants to support him. Regardless of whether Xie Zezhi, Jian Yang, or Jiang Zhixia herself would be involved in the end, she had to make this decision with determination at the critical moment.

Because she is the Emperor of Heaven, the objects she is responsible for are not one or two people she knows, but all living beings in the three realms. Her ultimate goal is to defeat the devil and bring peace to the world. For this purpose, all gods can be used or sacrificed by her.

Zhang Hesong held her in silence for a while, then nodded and said "Yeah". It's time for her to grow up.

Zhang Hesong was determined to get rid of her immortal status first. When the Demon Realm went to Heaven to propose marriage again, she had a reason for the Demon Realm to go directly to Jiang Zhixia - she was no longer a fairy, and everything from now on had nothing to do with the Immortal Realm.

When the demon world came to Lingqing, Jiang Zhixia slashed to death and injured dozens of people in the demon world, intensifying the conflict. All she could do next was wait for the next move from the demon world.

After she returned from the fairy world, she immediately issued an order that all Lingqing disciples who were outside were not allowed to return to Lingqing no matter what news they heard from the leader unless they got news from the leader.

If they hear that Lingqing is disbanded, they will camp separately in the areas under their jurisdiction and continue what they are doing. You must not violate your original intention when you joined Lingqing.

Then, she took out all the silver she had saved over the past three hundred years and asked her colleagues to send away the people near Dongyao Mountain.

When the people learned about this, they were unwilling to leave. They knew that Jiang Zhixia had offended the Demon Realm by refusing her marriage proposal.

The fairy world is afraid of the devil world, but they are not afraid.

They have experience in catching monsters and will not lose to the devil world. They are willing to advance and retreat with her and fight the devil to the end. The county magistrate even asked the court to send troops to help.

Jiang Zhixia stopped them, kowtowed to them in front of many people, and solemnly apologized.

"Everyone, if the demon world takes the initiative to provoke the war this time and invades Dongyao, then it goes without saying that I will definitely let you stay and protect your home. But this time I brought it about myself, and I can't drag you with me. Get into the water. I, the Lingqing people, will escort you to a safe place, and you will wait for news outside. If you hear news that the demon world has retreated, or that I have been killed, you can come back with confidence. If you don’t want to come back, you can still have enough money. You buy new land.

I, Jiang Zhixia, owe you this, I'm sorry! "

After that, she got up and left.

Soon, the bustling Dongyao Mountain turned into an empty city.

There were only Jiang Zhixia and her fellow disciples on the mountain, as well as the disciples who had stayed in the sect.

None of them wanted to leave. In the fairy world, apart from her position as headmaster and her immortal status, no one in Lingqing would recognize her. In the past few days, Lingqing has fallen into an unprecedented tense atmosphere. The usual laughter and noise are gone, and instead there are more sounds of people practicing with swords and swords.

Jiang Zhixia looked into the distance and worried about Dongfang Chuliang and He Susu who were sent out. She wondered if they had reached home. There is no backup this time, and Xie Zezhi will not show up. She was ready to fight to the death, but she also had to leave something for the future.

Suddenly, she heard the sound of water flowing from behind. She stepped on the tiles of the roof and walked to the other side, only to see that it was Lu Chennian watering the osmanthus tree that he had not cultivated yet to bloom.

"Why haven't you left yet?" she asked while lying on the roof. A few days ago, she clearly asked those disciples with no magic power or low magic power to leave, so why is he still here?

Lu Chennian looked up at her and couldn't help but frown and said, "You went up so high, be careful and hurt yourself again. Come down and tell me."

She jumped down and avoided Lu Chennian's support.

He shook his hand and said nothing.

"Didn't I ask you to leave a few days ago?" She didn't see his little move.

"Yes, I sent them to the place and rushed back." He picked up the water ladle in the bucket and continued to water. "I will stay here with you, and I won't go anywhere."

Jiang Zhixia took the thing in his hand and sighed, "You don't have to risk everything for me. You should know that you have no foundation for cultivation. You are a mortal and you will grow old and die."

"I know."

He doesn't know what's going on with his body. It's just that he would rather live only for a moment but leave a trace of good memories in her heart than he would live forever and disgust her forever.

He seems to have begun to understand how to love someone.

"Then do you know that I don't plan to save you, I will watch you die of old age."

He pursed his lips and said, "I know."

"so……"

"So don't drive me away before that." He said eagerly: "I'm very glad that I didn't make any wrong decisions back then, otherwise I would have lost the chance to stand here with you and talk calmly."

"I asked Xie Zezhi. He said that the reason why you had that idea back then was to some extent influenced by the Nether Skull." She patted his shoulder lightly, "Actually, you are not bad at heart. I have also seen your behavior over the years. Li. You are very similar to me before I became an immortal. Neither of us met anyone who could teach us well. But fortunately, we both changed later."

She said: "So, you should have a fulfilling life of your own and spend the rest of your life as a mortal."

"But perfection shouldn't be determined by length, right?" He retorted: "I want to stay with you. Even if I can only live for one day, I still feel complete. This is my decision, and I ask for your support."

Jiang Zhixia looked at him in surprise. She didn't notice that Lu Chennian suddenly became able to talk. After a while, she compromised and said: "Okay, okay, you win, then you can stay here."

Lu Chennian lowered his head and smiled, then asked: "The lotus flowers are blooming behind, do you want to take a look?"

"So fast?"

"Well, the weather has been nice recently."

"Then let's take a look."

Lu Chennian was so flattered that he quickly dropped the water ladle and walked beside her. He kept his breathing as light as possible for fear of offending her. He took the initiative to raise the topic and asked her if Ling Xuanche had harassed her again recently.

"No." Jiang Zhixia couldn't help but laugh when she remembered that he was livid when she scolded him.

After she was removed from the immortal status, Ling Xuanche brought people to Lingqing, claiming that as long as she relented and married him, he would help her settle everything and restore her immortal status to avoid making things difficult for her in the devil world.

As a result, she scolded him for being wishful thinking in front of a bunch of people, and asked him if he wanted to repeat what happened to her outside the city, so she had to beg him. She never bowed her head to him when she was a mortal, let alone this time.

Ling Xuanche left angrily and has not been seen since.

Lu Chennian's emotions towards Ling Xuanche were somewhat complicated. On the one hand, he hated what he did to her, but on the other hand, he thought that if it weren't for him, she might not be able to become an immortal, and they would not have the chance to meet.

"Ah, it's really blooming!" Jiang Zhixia walked to the lotus pond and saw one of the many lotus flowers blooming at the right moment, which was extremely beautiful.

"I'll help you get it." He went to go in a panic, but she pulled his sleeve.

"No, it's just right here."

She always looks worried when she comes down from heaven. It's rare that I feel relaxed today.

Lu Chennian stared at her smiling side face and engraved this image firmly in his heart. It turns out that he can also bring her joy and make her happy.

This quiet and peaceful scene lasted not long before it was interrupted by Dongfang Chuliang.

"Why are you back?" Jiang Zhixia was shocked, "Didn't I ask you to take Susu home to avoid it?"

"You are my senior sister, I can't just watch you being bullied." Dongfang Chuliang wiped his sweat. He was afraid of heights and could only hide on the ground, which was much more tiring than climbing on the clouds.

"I'll be back after delivering the little rabbit."

"Where did you send her?"

"Her home. There is no good person in my family, so it would be safer to send her home." He said doubtfully: "But I don't think she really wants to go back."

"and then?"

"Then I forced her to the door of my house and informed her family. Then I came back."

Jiang Zhixia:......
