I couldn't refuse my arch-nemesis' courtship today.

Xiang Jianglian, "Ma'am, your child is walking on the edge of a cliff. He wants to be with the demon cultivator who destroyed your village. He will ruin his bright future. Should you persuade him?"

Jiang Lian slowly put down the fingers on her lips, her expression was mixed with confusion and suspicion, she stared in the direction of Xuan Ying and Shen Shimian, while the others were all looking at her, seeing that Xuan Qingzi entrusted her with the important task of persuading Xuan Ying to change his ways body.

After waking up in the morning, she changed into newly made clothes and happily watched the two children form a bond. Why did things become like this.

As if it took a long time to digest, Jiang Lian pursed her dry lips and asked Xuan Ying, "Ah Ying, is what your master said true?"

Facing Jiang Lian, Xuan Ying has always been short-tempered, he hesitated, "The village was destroyed by Shen Qing's demon cultivator..."

Xuan Qingzi interrupted him, "Ma'am, you heard everything."

Jiang Lian didn't really feel anything, she didn't remember, the memories of her life in the village disappeared with her injury, everything was added to her by Xuan Ying and Xuan Qingzi, but Xuan Ying called her Mother's appearance is very familiar, at least she doesn't reject the fact that this is her son.

Even though Xuan Ying seldom saw her, she still really missed her only son in her heart. Compared with those so-called haters, of course she cared more about Xuan Ying and Shen Shimian.

The bewilderment in Jiang Lian's eyes gradually receded, her voice was gentle but firm, "I see, Ah Ying, if I want you to attack your Taoist companion and exchange his life for your future, will you agree?"

Xuan Ying knows her well, Jiang Lian is a very good mother, she will protect her child regardless of everything, but Jiang Lian's child now has only one Xuan Ying, he is not sure if Shen Shimian is included, his eyes flashed After a little struggle, he looked at Shen Shimian who had been keeping quiet all the time.

Then Xuan Ying shook his head firmly, "I can't."

Jiang Lian sighed and smiled softly, "It's okay, mother will never force you to hurt each other."

Shen Qing suddenly looked at her face and laughed nervously.

Jiang Lian's being pushed out attracted Shen Qing's attention. This person had never noticed Jiang Lian's existence before, because she was too inconspicuous. Although she was pinched by Shen Shimian at this moment, she laughed loudly, "Hahaha , Sister-in-law, it turns out that you are still alive, how can you even admit your own son's mistake, and even ask others to kill your son, my elder brother Quanxia knows, what do you think?"

This huge reversal shocked everyone, and even the redness in some people's eyes faded a little.

How could Jiang Lian suddenly become Shen Shimian's mother?Xuan Qingzi stared at them in disbelief, unable to believe that the chips he had held in his hands for many years were false, and Xuan Ying lied to him again.

The secret that has been kept for many years can no longer be concealed. Even if he wants to hide it now, Shen Shimian, who was awakened by Shen Qing, will realize the truth by himself. Xuan Ying closed his eyes and said to Jiang Lian, "I I'm not your biological son, I'm just an adopted son you picked up."

He did escape from Luo Chan's palace. He has a special physique. He returned to his childhood state when he was asleep. Going out, he exhausted his energy, and when his life was hanging by a thread, he met Jiang Lian's mother and son who had fled to a small mountain village for refuge.

In such a dangerous situation, Jiang Lian did not abandon him, gave him the warmth of a mother, recognized him as a son, taught him to take care of him, and gave him protection.

However, something happened later, Xuan Ying overdrawn his ability as Zhan Yingjian, and his memory of what happened in Luochan Palace and about Zhan Yingjian gradually became blurred.

Just adopted son...

Shen Shimian's hand holding Xuan Ying suddenly tightened, as smart as him, flashed through his mind quickly some things that he once thought were inconsistent, why Xuan Ying always told Jiang Lian about his affairs, seemingly true or false, why? Mo Xiu, who guarded him in the village back then, is still there, but his mother seems to have disappeared from the world.

Although what Xuan Ying said was that he was Jiang Lian's adopted son, Shen Shimian quickly connected all the clues together and came to an unbelievable conclusion. What Shen Qing said was true, and he himself was Jiang Lian's son. , Jiang Lian is the wife of the father who was killed by Shen Qing, and the legendary mother who took him to escape.

She didn't even die.

The events back then were very complicated, and it was impossible for Xuan Ying to spit out all the reasons in front of everyone. He just grasped Shen Shimian's hand more tightly, and he was a little worried that Shen Shimian would feel that he had deliberately robbed him of it. Mother.

However, Shen Shimian just gently rubbed Xuan Ying's palm with his fingertips. Xuan Ying remembered that when he had just tied the red thread to Shen Shimian, they were in a group of people's alchemy room, and Shen Shimian pretended to have spiritual power. Lost all, clasped his palm and slowly scratched various handwriting, as if time went back in time. Now that the environment is changed, some feelings are the same.

Xuan Ying's heart suddenly settled down, and he quietly sent a voice transmission to Shen Shimian, explaining to him alone, "Mother has lost her memory, I'm afraid that both she and you will be used, she doesn't really want you to die."

So even though he was only five years old at the time, Xuan Ying shouldered this burden alone. At least he knew the truth, he would resist and struggle, and he would consciously seek a way to save Jiang Lian. The person who delayed Shen Qing found out the time of Shen Shimian and Jiang Lian through the identities of mother and son of similar age.

Facts have proved that it took Shen Qing 15 years to find Shen Shimian. At that time, Shen Shimian was able to protect herself. As for Jiang Lian, she was well protected and lived a peaceful and stable life for many years.

A nice smile appeared on Shen Shimian's always indifferent face, "I know."

From the letters he left behind, Shen Shimian really felt Xuan Ying's intentions, how could he blame Xuan Ying for such a thing.

In two short sentences, all trust and warmth are contained in it.

The sudden revelation of the truth did not separate their feelings, but made them no longer have any grievances.

But Jiang Lian was just stunned for a moment, her expression didn't seem to be surprised. She always felt that Shen Shimian was very kind, and it was because blood was thicker than water. Moreover, since Shen Shimian and Xuan Ying formed a bond, she had accepted Despite the fact that she has two sons, she is no different now. Looking at Xuan Ying and Shen Shimian from a distance, she nodded her head slightly, and her smile was relieved.

But Xuan Qingzi was not so happy. The chips he held tightly disappeared one by one. He realized that things would only get worse if he waited any longer. Moxiu's widow."

Then he paused, and made a final decision, "If Xuan Ying is obsessed with obsession, I will kill my relatives righteously, and I will not allow the complete Tianzhu Sword Soul collected by my Xuanjiang Gate to fall into the hands of the demon cultivator."

Xuan Qingzi's behavior blatantly tore his face, and pointed out that Xuan Ying's strong sword energy was due to his possession of Tianzhu Sword Soul.

As soon as these words came out, most of the people who were still watching the theater began to have their thoughts floating. Originally, whether Shen Shimian was a demon cultivator or not, it was only a matter of Lingxiao Pavilion and Xuanjiangmen. They could help for the face of Xianmen, but not for Myself, but now that the Tianzhu Sword Soul is released, the nature of the matter is different.

Everyone knows that the Tianzhu Sword Soul may be equal to the Gate of Heaven. Most of the cultivators want to ascend, and the living hope is in front of them. When watching Shen Shimian, he was even more fanatical.

The spiritual pressure on the rooftop is rising here, and all kinds of spiritual energy are stirring. If the Gate of Tongtian falls into the hands of the demon cultivator, won't they all have to rely on the demon cultivator in the future.

Both Xuan Ying and Shen Shimian wanted to take advantage of today to solve all the problems, so they did not act for a long time. Seeing that Xuan Qingzi gradually lost his composure, Xuan Ying felt that today could finally be the end.

Luo Chan, who had been watching all the time, saw the right moment, and when the crowd was restless, he suddenly launched an attack, and a spiritual power attack rushed towards Xuan Ying. This attack was quickly resolved by Xuan Ying, but it detonated the atmosphere that was on the verge of attack, and some moments of weak restraint Driven by the desire to kill earlier, Yu Jian attacked.

Xuan Qingzi took the opportunity to snatch Jiang Lian. Even if Xuan Ying was not Jiang Lian's parent and son, he didn't believe that the other party had no feelings for Jiang Lian. As long as he snatched it, it would be useful.

But Shen Yun stopped him.

Shen Shimian solemnly entrusted Jiang Lian to Shen Yun. Although he was also very shocked by Shen Shimian's identity as a demon cultivator, when he thought of his actions when he was eroded by evil spirits, he was no less than a blood cultivator. What position is it to blame Shen Shimian? Now that Jiang Lian is Shen Shimian's biological mother, he must try his best to protect and make up for the mistakes he made. This does not conflict with the interests of Ling Xiaoge. Even if Shen Shimian is guilty, he cannot be involved On Jiang Lian.

Xuan Qingzi confronted Shen Yun, and Xuan Ying and the two were attacked by a group of cultivators. At first, there were only a few cultivators with low cultivation bases. After being swept away by Xuan Ying's few sword qi, the other party's master saw that his disciple was injured , also began to take action, and gradually more and more people were mobilized.

Shen Shimian flicked his fingers to draw phantoms in the air, and the demonic energy rushed into the surrounding space. Based on the formation of Tiangongtai, several layers of barriers were quickly built to resist.

Shen Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief, joined forces with Luo Chan and the monks, and attacked Xuan Ying and the two, but Shen Shimian remained calm, with streams of devilish energy overflowing, blocking the disturbance of many small fish and shrimp.

Xuan Ying also seemed to be able to deal with them with ease. The strength he and Shen Shimian joined forces was terrifying. Luo Chan shifted his gaze to Shen Yun who was resisting Xuan Qingzi, and immediately withdrew his hand and turned to Jiang Lian. Jiang Lian was robbed away, Shen Yun immediately put down Xuan Qingzi, and turned to chase Luo Chan, Xuan Ying's giant dragon also received orders to follow Luo Chan, Shen Yun and Jiang Lian with Banban.

Xuan Qingzi discovered that Xuan Ying's cultivation base had climbed to this point, and the sense of crisis in his heart continued to spread. After hesitating for a moment, he also joined the lineup attacking Xuan Ying and Shen Shimian.

With the two Saint-breaking Great Perfectionists and more and more monks, Shen Shimian and Xuan Ying also struggled. The Gate of Tongtian did not recover for a day, and Xuan Ying and Shen Shimian's cultivation could not exceed the limit of the law of heaven. It's just breaking the holy Dzogchen.

Shen Shimian was dressed in white, and a few strands of black hair covered the red lines on his face, protecting each other with Xuan Ying.

Xuan Qingzi's heart ignited, he had always had a strong desire to control, and today he realized that he had been played by Xuan Ying all the time, which made him furious, and the skin that was easy to handle was stripped off, naturally he became angry from embarrassment.

The battle on the rooftop scared away the casual cultivators in the city, but Shen Shimian's subordinates, including Yan Zuo and Yan You, rushed over. His Majesty was besieged, they couldn't care about anything else, and joined the melee in an instant.

Xuan Qingzi's body is full of sword energy. As a sword cultivator who breaks the holy Dzogchen, his combat power is definitely the best in the world. His joining has doubled the pressure on Xuan Ying and the two.

Xuan Ying has been patient all the time. Now if Xuan Qingzi is killed directly, the charges against him and Shen Shimian will not be cleared. This is not the result he wanted. He took all the attacks of Xuan Qingzi, and Shen Shimian dealt with Shen Shimian Like other monks, he is good at formations, and after completely devouring the blood of the demon god and turning it into his own use, he is most suitable for one enemy against many.

During the battle, Xuan Ying taunted Xuan Qingzi from time to time, "Master is nothing more than that."

Xuan Qingzi said, "Even if you are not Jiang Lian's biological son, as an adopted son, you don't care about her life? Even if you don't care, what about Shen Shimian?"

Xuan Ying's eyes were filled with anger. He knew that Xuan Qingzi had manipulated Jiang Lian's body and was holding Jiang Lian's life, but Jiang Lian...in fact, he was already a living dead.

Xuan Qingzi controlled her soul and body to make her look alive, so after Jiang Lian lost all her cultivation base, she lived as a mortal, unable to cultivate and would not grow old. Time stagnated on her body, and those revived classics prepared by Xuan Ying , all for Jiang Lian.

Xuan Qingzi thought he didn't know, but in fact he already knew it clearly, but Jiang Lian was still Jiang Lian, a mother, and there was no other way to survive in this way for the time being.

If one day, they open the gate to heaven, they may be able to save Jiang Lian, because her soul and body are complete.

Xuan Qingzi saw that he seemed to be moved, and continued to work hard, "It is just helping me to open the gate of Xuanjiang Gate to the sky. Compared with the kindness I have given, these are not too much."

Xuan Ying's voice suddenly amplified and spread throughout the battlefield, "Master collected my sword soul for me, should I thank Master for killing Master Mo Lan's uncle and Master Cui Qiao, and exchange their sword soul for me?" I?"

Xuan Qingzi's face froze, "How dare you speak nonsense to deceive your master and destroy your ancestors."

These master uncles were once the sword soul containers of Xuanjiangmen, but they were also the dazzling genius sword cultivators of Xuanjiangmen. Xuanjiangmen has always kept their demise secret. Died at the hands of Xuan Qingzi.

The people in Xuanjiangmen who heard this were stunned. The genius who was as famous as Xuanqingzi in those days died at the hands of his fellowmen. Many people couldn't help but guess whether Xuanqingzi was eliminating dissidents.

The corners of Xuan Ying's lips curled up, his temperament became flamboyant, the feeling of arrogance and dazzling was no longer suppressed, and it was the first time that it fully bloomed in front of Xuan Qingzi, "Tuer naturally has evidence."

He also learned badly from Shen Shimian, and at this moment, talking about his master and disciple would only make Xuan Qingzi even more furious.

The sky and the earth turned pale, spiritual power, demonic energy, and sword energy exploded alternately in this area, and all the clouds and mists that had originally shrouded were dispelled.

The battle between Xuan Ying and Xuan Qingzi startled the rest of the people, and more people began to move around. Xuan Ying was originally just a student who had just graduated from Xiushan Academy, why could he have the same power as Xuan Qingzi? to think about.

The monks yearn for power. Under the influence of the gods of the heavens, reason and morality are fading, replaced by chaos and greed.

Xuan Ying took a deep breath, and Zhan Ying's sword soul in his body turned into a huge figure and slashed at Xuan Qingzi. Xuan Qingzi greeted him with his sword, but was cut to pieces by the top magic soldiers, his hands were dripping with blood, and his arms were retracted to cover them trembling, his expression could not conceal the shock.

"Even if you have Sword Soul, you shouldn't have such cultivation!"

No one knows better than him that the sword soul should be something similar to increasing the cultivation talent. The more fragments, the higher the talent, so he used this to trick his brothers and sisters into holding more sword souls, and the talent will also accelerate when the talent skyrockets. destroy.

Even if Xuan Ying is a perfect container, there should be a process of cultivation.

Xuan Ying quickly glanced at Shen Shimian's direction to confirm that he could still hold on. He relaxed and focused on dealing with Xuan Qingzi. He threw the enlarged Zhan Ying sword into the sky. The huge sword shadow was very conspicuous. Xuan Ying's voice spread to everyone's ears.

"My name is Zhan Ying."

Everyone's movements were sluggish for a moment, and Xuan Ying's voice was wrapped in a sharp sword aura. At that moment, no one could feel suspicious.

He is Zhan Yingjian itself.

Xuan Ying's figure hovered in the air, revealing his identity, watching the change of Xuan Qingzi's face with satisfaction, the others also began to throw their weapons, and the attack gradually slowed down. If Xuan Ying is Zhan Ying's sword, then wouldn't it mean that everyone The Gate of Heaven that he pursues is on him. If he only has the sword spirit, he can still snatch it, but he is the sword spirit itself, so it is not a wise move to snatch back a sword spirit with a complete personality.

Driven by the strong sword energy, the sword energy shot straight into the sky, tearing open a crack in the sky. The feeling of connecting the sky and the earth after countless years came back instantly. Xuan Ying subconsciously raised his hand, and consciously probed Entering a strange place, a large amount of spiritual energy poured out from the crack in an instant, and everyone felt that the shackles of cultivation were loosened.

Although it was only for a short moment, everyone realized that it was a sign of reconnecting with the heavens, and they were immediately excited.

All of Xuan Qingzi's hopes were shattered, and it was only a short period of time from being complacent to falling to the bottom.

Xuan Ying's sword energy locked his whole body, and the sword energy pressed against Xuan Qingzi's skin like needle pricks.

It was difficult for Xuan Qingzi to move, and he would be pierced by the sword energy if he moved slightly. He fully understood that his situation was over, and he still wanted to struggle, "I saved you after all."

"I'm afraid there is someone else who saved us." Xuan Ying was unmoved, and this time he spoke to Xuan Qingzi alone, "If I guess correctly, you and Master Shen have been hinted by people from the hidden world sect. , you can exchange the whereabouts of the sword soul container with certain conditions."

"So the one who saved us should be someone from the hidden world sect."

After drawing his own conclusions, Xuan Qingzi seemed to be getting to know this apprentice for the first time, whom he had always regarded as a pawn that he was satisfied with.

With so much forbearance and deep thoughts, and such a perfect disguise, Xuan Qingzi actually felt that he was not wronged.

Even if he was furious, he couldn't change the fact that he was defeated. Xuan Qingzi's arms trembled, and he pinched his fingers to maintain his last dignity.

After an ear-piercing explosion, a line of blood appeared on Shen Qing's neck, and he fell stiffly from the air, a generation of Demon Lord Shen Qing fell, and Shen Shimian finally personally avenged his parents and himself.

At the same time, Shen Shimian's tolerance for the power of blood finally reached its limit, and his sanity began to enter the chaos of Rakshasa Sea again. disappear.

But at this time, he was still about to fall from the sky, Yan Zuo was startled, and was about to catch His Majesty, when a familiar figure suddenly appeared and caught Shen Shimian.

Afterwards, the sword energy surrounding Xuan Qingzi pierced into his dantian, and Xuan Qingzi's cultivation was completely crippled.

The two consecutive defeats of Da Neng temporarily frightened the red-eyed people. They gradually realized that Xuan Ying's power and terror were beyond their control.

But Xianmen had no choice but to lose face, and the scene became stalemate for a while.

At this moment, a lazy voice floated out, "Have you finally had enough?"

He Changsheng's figure appeared out of nowhere, the fight here was in full swing, and he didn't seem to be affected at all.

Xuan Ying pursed his lips, looked at him wonderingly, and at the same time secretly hoped that He Changsheng didn't suddenly turn against him.

He Changsheng did not disappoint him, he fanned his fan calmly and said, "I come from Qianmen."

The name of Qianmen was heard by some monks from some families present, and it was the hidden sect that Shen Yun and Xuan Qingzi were looking for.

Xuan Ying's guess is true, and He Changsheng is indeed a member of the hermit sect who is good at divination, so he is also He Changsheng... Remind Xuan Qingzi and Shen Yun to take him and Shen Shimian away.

Perhaps because of the guilt of sending them into the tiger's mouth, he took care of the young Xuan Ying and made friends with him.

He Changsheng didn't talk nonsense, and directly issued the oath of heaven, "More than 20 years ago, I roughly calculated that the key to reshaping the Tianzhu was in a small village. Back then, Sect Master Shen and Sect Master Xuan's parents and children came to the door, and I passed this news to you." Tell me, I hope the two masters can reshape Tianzhu, but master Xuan is actually a man with a beast's heart, and Zhan Yingjian has suffered great grievances and torture."

Everyone looked at each other, He Changsheng made friends all over the world, and some of them knew He Changsheng. There was no doubt about his identity, and the people of Qianmen swore the oath of heaven, and they must not lie, otherwise they would be backlashed by heaven on the spot. He Changsheng was safe and sound, so it can be seen that he It's all true.

Some people still couldn't save face and insisted, "But I will wait for the Immortal Gate and Demon Cultivator to die endlessly, and I dare not disrespect Zhan Yingjian, so what does that Shen Shimian say?"

Xuan Ying glared at him unhappily.

He Changsheng said first, "I know a thing or two about this. Shen Shimian is not a blood cultivator. His father is from the ascetic sect. He has already betrayed the Shen family, so he turned against Brother Shen Qing. His father died in the The hands of Shen Qing, Shen Shimian grew up in Ling Xiao Pavilion, and now he has formed a pact with Zhan Yingjian, which is not the opposite of everyone."

As soon as he said these words, everyone's faces softened. With such a step down, and it came from the mouth of thousands of people, everyone began to accept it.

Xuan Ying also breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't mind making enemies of these people because of Shen Shimian, but they all still have friends in Xiushanyuan, Lingxiao Pavilion and Xuanjiangmen, it is naturally best to solve them perfectly.

So one of the elders of the big sect with a high level of cultivation took a step forward, "I have always respected Tianzhu, and today's matter is over, but can I ask Zhan Yingjian for an accurate statement to reshape Tianzhu?" Zhu opened the gate to the sky?"

This is a question that all cultivators are concerned about, and Xuan Ying was immediately surrounded by everyone's eyes.

He said indifferently, "All living beings are equal, the Gate of Reaching Heaven is not for one family, I will try my best to help you reopen it."

After getting his promise, all the monks were relieved. In fact, they were unwilling and had nothing to do. So many people besieged two people, but they suffered heavy losses. What else do they want?

It's better to take a step back.

The influence of the Heavens Locking God Formation also completely dissipated, the sun penetrated everything and shone into the rooftop, and everything was over.

Xuan Ying narrowed his eyes, and hugged Shen Shimian tightly in his arms.

On the other side, the battle between Shen Yun and Luo Chan also came to fruition. He used his whole body as a sacrifice to trap Luo Chan to death, but he also lost his cultivation just like Xuan Qingzi. With the help of Jujiao, he regained Jiang Lian. When Jujiao brought Jiang Lian back, what he saw was a mess everywhere, and Xuan Ying who was holding a comatose Shimian.

Xuan Ying nodded lightly to He Changsheng and Liang Fu, and left Qiyang City with the unconscious Shen Shimian and Jiang Lian, no one dared to stop them.

Now that the matter has come to this point, it is meaningless for the other monks to stay any longer. They all excused themselves to leave temporarily, and hurried back to discuss matters related to the sect after being able to ascend.

When Chen Qingquan left, she was still in a daze. She repeatedly recalled the figures of those two amazing people standing side by side, and suddenly threw away her teacher and rushed back to find Tang Zhi.

Shen Yun stared at their leaving figures, then lowered his eyes and glanced at Xuan Qingzi, who also had a broken dantian, and felt the taste of fate in the dark.

When the great battle in Qiyang City on this day was handed down to later generations, many people kept secret about its cause, and there were even different opinions about the many twists and turns. Some people were all dumbfounded when they learned that it was originally a ceremony for the formation of a bond between two monks.

This battle was called the "Battle of Qiyang" by later generations. It is said that it was this battle that opened the gate to the sky again, and the world of cultivating immortals was able to embark on the path of ascension again.

----

When he finally opened his eyes again, the familiar face of Xuan Ying came into Shen Shimian's eyes. Seeing that he woke up, Xuan Ying showed a smile without haze, and said in a very cheerful tone, "It's been a long time since you woke up, I have something for you."

Shen Shimian lowered his eyes, and his eyes fell on Xuan Ying's tightly clenched fists, only to see Xuan Ying spread his palms in front of him, revealing a ball of crystal clear water in his palm.

That was the first handful of water he grabbed from the Tianhe River when he opened the passage to the heavens.

Shen Shimian looked at Xuan Ying's bright and familiar smile, the smile he fell in love with at the first sight when he was five years old, and stretched out his fingertips to touch the trembling water ball.

A drop of blood between the eyebrows of both parties melted into the Tianhe water, surrounded by the light red water belt, the contract gradually took effect, Shen Shimian stretched out his hand and pulled Xuan Ying into his arms.

Since then, their fate has been intertwined with each other, and they can no longer be separated.
