In a stern, fierce voice, Elder Jing said, “It’s needless to say betraying the faction is a great crime. At the very least, one’s cultivation will be disabled and they will be expelled from the faction. For severe cases, the criminals will be sentenced to death, as a warning to others.”

“Well said.” Mo Tianxuan nodded slightly, and her face turned even colder. She turned to stare at Elder Jing. “If that’s the case, Elder Jing, how do you explain this?”

Pow!

The jade box was hurled onto the floor, and a shining fluorescent talisman dropped out from it. Master Ghost glanced at it in shock. “Eh, isn’t this the talisman of Elder Jing’s Formation Breaking Hammer? How come...” He looked at Elder Jing, and then at Su Yu.

Elder Jing’s heart sank. She had handed this talisman to Shao Chunguang in exchange for his help in ruthlessly tormenting Su Yu. It turned out that the Shao family had rebelled as a whole, and Shao Chunguang was nowhere to be found.

“Elder Jing, don’t you want to say something?” Mo Tianxuan asked coldly.

Elder Jing’s face turned pallid. After some contemplation, she glared at Su Yu and loudly said, “Palace Master, please do not believe his defamation. I have no idea how this talisman ended up in his hands.”

“Really?” Mo Tianxuan’s face turned cold and callous. “This talisman contains your blood essence. If it’s lost, you could destroy it with a single thought! If so, Elder Jing, please answer me, how did it end up with the traitor, the Shao family, and has remained intact till now?” Her implied meaning was that the talisman couldn’t have been preserved until now if it wasn’t for Elder Jing’s deliberate action.

Splash!

Elder Jing’s face lost all color and she turned as white as a sheet. She kowtowed and said, “Please look into this matter thoroughly, Palace Master, I’ve always been loyal to the faction and have absolutely no intention of rebelling. It’s him, he’s trying to slander me.”

Mo Tianxuan’s eyes turned ice cold. “You have no repentance at all!” She clutched her fingers into a claw, and massive demonic energy surrounded her fingers as she pressed her hand onto Elder Jing’s head.

Elder Jing let out an ear-piercing scream of agony, as if her soul was enduring intense, excruciating pain.

Mo Tianxuan withdrew her hand, as ice cold light gleamed in her eyes. “Humph, you gave the talisman to Shao Chunguang and had him help you deal with Su Yuxian. How dare you still claim to be innocent?”

Bang!

With a kick, Elder Jing was thrown by Mo Tianxuan into the courtyard where Su Yu had stayed. Then, Mo Tianxuan opened up the seal and coldly said, “You can spend the rest of your life here in the dungeon!” Mo Tianxuan didn’t want to risk inciting a rebellion, otherwise, the punishment would be far worse than just imprisonment.

In just a short while, Su Yu had freed himself from his imprisonment, and had witnessed Elder Jing being taken prisoner. The matter was drawing to an end. Su Yu was both physically and mentally exhausted. He bid his farewell and returned to the outside sanctum.

Mo Tianxuan reminded him to be ready to contend with the emissaries from the Heavenly Knife Region in three days. She also warned him about the mysterious person in jade clothing, whom she could not get a grasp on.

Su Yu did not belittle the matter. After settling a few things, he delved entirely into studying the golden yellow Mu words on the sacrifice offering. There was a small portion of the words which Su Yu was rather unfamiliar with.

When he stood before the Demon Mountain again, Su Yu felt awkward. He had left there several days ago with the determination to leave the faction. However, a few days later, he was taken by force once again by Mo Tianxuan. Luckily, the alluring cabinet master was the only one in the faction who had fathomed his intention to leave, and the rest of the people were clueless about it. Otherwise, it would be a disgrace for Su Yu to return.

Upon entering the Demon Mountain, he was greeted with the familiar scenery and the familiar ambience. As he pushed open the yard door, he found that the vibrant, gorgeous purple figure had left no traces behind. Su Yu felt rather rueful. He didn’t know where had Zixuan been transported to, or whether she was safe. With her All Creations cultivation, combined with the reputation of the Central Prefecture’s King’s student, he supposed she would return to the Central Prefecture very soon.

“Ahh! Su Yu, oh, nope, Brother Yuxian, you’re back!!” Zixuan was nowhere to be seen in the yard, but a dainty, purple-black figure dashed out from the house, with a face full of delighted surprise. Nope, it was wild ecstasy that Su Yu hadn’t expected.

“Wuxie, why are you in my house?” Su Yu asked. Wuxie must be the only person apart from Zixuan who knew Su Yuxian was actually Su Yu.

“I thought you would leave the Red Blood Palace.” Gongsun Wuxie was staying very close to him. She was gritting her teeth, her watery, clear eyes unblinking. A long sigh of relief escaped from her mouth as the repentance in her heart was greatly alleviated.

“It’s a long story.” Su Yu was speechless. The reason he had done nothing to Gongsun Wuxie before was that he had never intended to return to the Red Blood Palace. Who would have thought that things would turn out like this? Nonetheless, judging from the way Gongsun Wuxie had quickly changed from calling him “Su Yu” to “Su Yuxian”, it was likely that she would continue helping Su Yu keep his secret.

Gongsun Wuxie rubbed her small hands, and asked nervously yet expectantly, “It’s really great. Is Brother Yuxian going to leave again?”

“Probably not for now.” Su Yu smiled bitterly. He would be recaptured by Mo Tianxuan even if he took just half a step off the Red Blood Palace.

“Oh yeah!!” Gongsun Wuxie leapt off the ground in delight, her face full of jubilance. “Brother Yuxian, how about you tutor me in training from now on?”

Su Yu shook his head in amusement. “If you truly want to train, why would you need my tutoring?” This little girl’s background was very impressive.

Gongsun Wuxie laughed in a silly way. She didn’t mention Su Yu’s terrifying magical power of Time Retrogradation.

“Eh, I thought you have died somewhere out there,” an ice cold voice said from outside the house right at that moment. Bing Wuxin was carrying her long sword in her arms as she walked inside, her long slender legs striding confidently.

Gongsun Wuxie held her chin with both hands, and placed her elbows on the table. She chuckled. “Sister Wuxin, don’t behave that way, Brother Yuxian is your lover. Hasn’t he moved your heart with those 3 million merit points?”

Bing Wuxin glowered at her and set down the long sword. She sat opposite Su Yu, and looked at him from across the table. “I have come here to talk about that.”

Pow!

She took out her identity badge and put it on the table. “The mission is complete, and the reward has been exchanged, a full 3,000,000 merit points! I’ve only taken 300,000 merit points, and I’m returning the remaining 2,700,000 to you. My deficit for the Glittering Jewel Wonderland has been covered.”

Su Yu wasn’t a close-minded person. He hadn’t been bothered about the merit points earlier because he was leaving the faction. Now that he had returned, he certainly had to regain the merit points. He took out his own badge and transferred the merit points over. He had obtained 300,000 merit points in Tianya City, and had just received a million merit points from Mo Tianxuan. Added to this 2,700,000 merit points, he had 4,000,000 merit points altogether. The merit points required for the Glittering Jewel Wonderland were adequate now. This was a surprising delight.

“Su Yuxian, I have pondered matters for many days, and now I want to be honest with you about my thoughts and decisions,” Bing Wuxin said solemnly.

Su Yu was rather confused... What thoughts and decisions? Puzzled, he replied, “Alright, fire away.”

Bing Wuxin gazed at Su Yu, her pronunciation clear and precise. “I have understood your feelings for me. 3,000,000 merit points must be very important for you too, yet you gave them to me. I had thought that you were only putting up an act for the occasion. I never thought that you had real feelings for me,” she said.

Hold on! Su Yu felt like he had been hammered forcefully. The reason he had given away the merit points was that they were of no use to him, so he had left them for Bing Wuxin before leaving. How had she come to the conclusion that he had feelings for her?

“Now, let me talk about my decision.” Bing Wuxin did not give Su Yu a chance to argue and explain himself. “I’ve contemplated this for many days. It doesn’t really matter who I marry. Since you have feelings for me, I’ll marry you. From today onwards, you will be my fiance. That way, I can also avoid being harassed by others. I have already delivered a message to my mother regarding this decision of mine. You must be mentally prepared for my mother’s assessment.”

Su Yu was completely thunderstruck.
