Later on, Dongfang Chen tried to find a way to investigate Bai Zhixi's background. If he did not mislead Dongfang Chen and save him, Dongfang Chen was afraid that he would no longer have a position in his heart.

However, the truth would eventually come to light. Dongfang Chen finally found out Bai Zhixi's identity and saw her true face.

At that time, she saw Dongfang Chen's gaze that was as gentle as a lily in winter, tender and considerate to the point that it made people jealous.

But how could she allow someone she had thought about for more than ten years to fall in love with someone else?

The empress's seat could only be hers.

She lowered her body and carefully approached Bai Zhixi, finally gaining her trust.

When she found out that the person Bai Zhixi loved wasn't Crown Prince, but the clan's next of kin who had been ill for ten years, she rejoiced several times in her heart. She let go of all the knots in her heart and calmly accepted Bai Zhixi as her friend.

However, Heaven's Will was messing with her. During that trip to the Jade Cloud Temple, she had personally witnessed Dongfang Chen's confession to Bai Zhixi, and unexpectedly, Bai Zhixi's heart was moved.

She understood that as long as Bai Zhixi lived, Dongfang Chen would not be able to let go of her position as Empress.

She would never allow such a thing to happen.

Fortunately, the heavens were on her side and she was ambushed by witch church that day. Taking advantage of the moment Bai Zhixi was blind, she pushed her over thirty thousand meters away from the cliff.

But unfortunately, Dongfang Chen found out, and her heart jumped out of her chest as well. Because she knew that Dongfang Chen would definitely save her, and he definitely wouldn't let a river and mountains fall into his hands.

Bai Zhixi could only hide within the bottomless abyss, becoming a lonely ghost after rotting corpses for a hundred years.

Memories of the past appeared in her mind along with the wind. She hated herself so much, why didn't she make a decision back then, and just kill Bai Zhixi.

He also hated that he was not as good as Ye Xiao, so much so that he didn't even know who the evil creature in his stomach belonged to.

Dongfang Chen saw the endless viciousness and coldness on her face that had penetrated deep into her marrow. She had long lost the innocence of a young lady, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that she was an evil spirit that came from hell.

He actually felt disgusted in his heart. He looked away from his eyes, as if looking at them would dirty his eyes.

"You are nothing compared to her. In this life, I, Dongfang Chen, will never marry you as my wife. Shangguan Jingyan, your feelings for me, at this time, no longer have any guilt. Obediently return and bring your clan's head back to face my royal father! "

Dongfang Chen looked down at her condescendingly. His eyes were filled with coldness, and cold words flowed out from his mouth. Then, without a trace of warmth, he said,

"Men, take good care of princess, we will set out for the capital tomorrow!"

After coldly glancing at the pale-faced Shangguan Jingyan, other than the cold killing intent in his eyes, he decisively turned around and left.

Hearing that, Shangguan Jingyan felt as if his head was struck by lightning, his eyes were dull as he sat on the bed expressionlessly.

Her heart felt as if it had been cut by countless blades. Her eyes were filled with tears from the pain, and her tears fell down like pearls with broken strings. Soon, the thin blanket on her hands was soaked.

The night was as cold as water.

The bright moon hung in the sky, quietly watching this peaceful land.

Cold swallows came from the flickering candlelight in the room, painting the quiet night with a different color.

August 22nd. Today was the seventh day after the Martial Arts Competition.

In the morning, the dark clouds descended from the sky, covering this area in silver white as if it had been dyed with ink. The cold wind blew away some of the fallen leaves, blowing them into every corner of the Palace.

At the entrance of the forbidden area, Crooked Palm Wind had a dark look on his face as he stood there with the hundreds of disciples of the Plum Shadow Palace. The snowstorm was merciless as it slapped her face, and the anger in his eyes was growing stronger and stronger, as if he wanted to melt this world of ice and snow.

Over the past few hundred years, the Plum Shadow Palace had always been covered in ice and snow, but no snowstorm had ever visited like today.

Suddenly, a dazzling red ray of light shot straight into the depths of the sky from the forbidden grounds. Suddenly, a dazzling red ray of light shot straight into the depths of the clouds.

As the fireworks fell, the Plum Blossom Palace started shaking.

Qu Shun Si frowned as if he had thought of something. Suddenly, his pupils dilated with an inconceivable fear.

She struck the copper mirror in front of the forbidden area with her palm. A bright white profound energy flowed from her fingertips and lingered around the copper mirror, using it to control the sudden shaking.

A moment later, an irresistible force ruthlessly sucked Qu Zongfeng's profound energy, as if it wanted to suck her into the endless abyss in the copper mirror.

"Palm …"

Behind her, Hong Mei saw that her face was pale and covered in beads of sweat. The corner of her mouth was dripping with blood.

Shocked, he also placed his palm on her shoulder, losing his profound energy to her, and blocked the terrifying power in the copper mirror.

Zi Li and the rest, who were standing behind her, immediately lost their Profound Spirit Qi to Qu Zun Si in order to fight against the terrifying force.

In the Forest of Death that was right outside the palace, Fu Lingtian led a lot of martial artists to step majestically on the grass of the Forest of Death.

Infuriated, the animals in the Forest of Death began to flee in all directions.

They had all come here in search of the glaring red light and were certain that the Phoenixis Maiden was hiding somewhere in the Forest of Death.

"state advisor, are you sure that Phoenixis Maiden will definitely appear?"

The head disciple of the Cyan City Sect, Gu Guiyun, looked at the lifeless forest, which occasionally emitted a chilling air, and asked nervously.

Today, he was entrusted by the disciples of the sect to find the Phoenixis Maiden s and take revenge on his sect.

Just as he arrived at the Xi Liang Capital, he heard that state advisor had calculated that the Phoenixis Maiden would definitely appear in the Forest of Death today, so he followed the numerous martial artists and headed towards the Forest of Death.

Just now, he clearly saw a blinding light shooting out from the sky. If he guessed correctly, it should be the Phoenixis Maiden's blood bead that had been awakened.

The Phoenixis Maiden must be hiding in the Forest of Death.

However, after wandering around the forest for several hours, they had searched through every nook and cranny of the forest, yet they hadn't found any traces.

The scorching sun was high in the sky, and the earth was scorching hot. The Forest of Death was even more suffocating.

They couldn't help but feel disheartened. Perhaps they were wrong.

"Brat, I, state advisor, have never failed before."

Fu Lingtian's gloomy face swept across Gu Guiyun with a bit of dense, cold killing intent.

However, his hands couldn't help but tremble. A drop of blood flowed from his fingernails and onto the weeds.

Just now, the blood bead had shot straight into the clouds, and he had secretly been lucky enough to stop it.

It was terrible.

If not for him sneakily attacking a few shallow level disciples and absorbing their inner force to temporarily suppress the power of the blood bead, he would have died in the Forest of Death a long time ago.

"state advisor you …"

The Shaolin temple disciple standing beside him asked in a low voice as he looked at his trembling hands.

"It's fine, the snake poison can't do anything to me."

Fu Lingtian pretended to be calm as he pressed on the acupoints on his arm, pretending to block the bloodline poison from entering his lungs.

Everyone looked at him doubtfully and continued to walk forward.

In the palace of the Xi Liang, Ye Shishuang looked at Situ Lan who was sitting on a short bed and leisurely drinking tea, disdain flashing past his eyes.

"Situ Lan, you're the dignified empress of the Eastern Region and are renowned throughout the world. You actually dared to poison Dong Aoqing with such audacity. I have truly underestimated you back then."

Ye Shishuang began to cut off the thorn on the last rose.

"Ye Shishuang, am I following your example for this matter? "Sigh, but in terms of ruthlessness, I am still not even a tenth of your strength. Otherwise, I would not have been suppressed by that old demonic woman from the east county and would have dared not to say anything. I would have come to you to complain."

Situ Lan's eyes flashed with ice-cold hatred, as he ruthlessly pinched the cat in his hand, which was a bit whiter than snow. In a split second, the cat let out a painful cry and escaped from Situ Lan's hands.

She didn't think that Dong Aoqing would cripple her position as Empress for a single sentence from the empress dowager, so how could she agree?

After Ye Shishuang heard her words, his gaze tensed up. The rose in his hand suddenly snapped, and for a moment, it was stuck in her white fingers, dripping with fresh blood.

Scenes of the past appeared in her mind, playing over and over again.

"I don't know what you're talking about. If you have nothing else, you should hurry back! If Dong Aoqing was saved by some powerful being, then your plan would be ruined. "

Suppressing the shock in his heart, he maintained his composure and chased Situ Lan away.

"Don't worry, it won't be easy to cure the poison that I administered. I have come here mainly for the Phoenixis Maiden's blood bead, and only by obtaining this item will I be able to help my son ascend to the throne. Then, I will be able to marry the destined Empress Shangguan Jingyan, there is no need to worry about being able to unify the world. "

Situ Lan slowly stood up and walked over to Ye Shishuang to snatch the rose from her hand.

As soon as she finished speaking, the rose in her hand instantly turned black and fell to the ground. A black fog lingered on the rose for a long time.

Who would have thought that she was actually an orphan of the Southern Barbarian and knew of the long-lost art of charming death.

Ye Shishuang squinted his eyes as he looked at Situ Lan, as if he was going to see through her.

"Don't make such a fuss over nothing. If you don't have any tricks up your sleeve, how can you sit firmly on the throne of the Queen?" Just like you, if you do not use any methods, you think that Mo Nanxuan will tolerate your actions in the harem and be at your mercy. Do you think I would believe you? "

Situ Lan scoffed, her long nails cutting across Ye Shishuang's face, her eyes filled with enchantment.

A hundred years ago, their Patriarch, along with the Holy Maiden, protected the Phoenixis Maiden, and they did not hesitate to charge in.

who would have thought that the Phoenixis Maiden would actually kill their clansmen so cruelly, and even make the Southern Barbarian Clan bear the guilt of thousands of years, making the people of the world continuously curse.
