Chapter 44
"What's wrong?" Mei Kangping smiled when he saw Xiao Xiuwen's lifeless expression. "Don't want to?"
The female "attendant," or rather, the female demonic cultivator, purposefully pressed the sword against Xiao Xiuwen's neck.
Xiao Xiuwen widened his eyes, "How dare you, demon!"
The blade immediately left a bright red line on his neck. Xiao Xiuwen's expression changed slightly, and he instinctively raised his neck to avoid it.
"You dare, why wouldn't I dare."
As soon as the words fell, a burst of demonic energy immediately entered Xiao Xiuwen's body.
Xiao Xiuwen finally panicked. While quickly mobilizing his spiritual power to suppress it, he stared and angrily shouted, "What did you do to me?!"
"Shameless demon!"
The demonic energy traveled through his limbs and bones, causing Xiao Xiuwen's joints to swell and shrink, as if something was squeezing him.
After a few times, he was in so much pain that he was drenched in sweat and couldn't speak anymore. His limbs felt as if they were being pulled by a thread, and his knees bent, kneeling towards Qiao Wan.
Boom—
The first one.
Xiao Xiuwen's eyes were about to burst with anger.
Boom—
The second one.
Veins bulged on Xiao Xiuwen's forehead.
Boom—
The third one.
In front of the tens of thousands of disciples in Kunshan, representing the powerful Xiao family in the cultivation world, Xiao Xiuwen kowtowed three times to Qiao Wan.
Not one more, not one less.
After kowtowing, the female demonic cultivator stabbed the sword into Xiao Xiuwen's Dantian.
Mei Kangping turned around and looked at the people on the execution platform.
The cultivators in the audience were on high alert and summoned their magical treasures one after another.
Ma Huaizhen glanced at Qiao Wan, who was protected by demonic flames, and then looked at Mei Kangping. His eyelids were twitching, and his heart was pounding.
It was just an illusion created by the demon energy. Mei Kangping was cautious and would never infiltrate Kunshan alone. His real body was still thousands of miles away in the Demon Realm.
This time, by borrowing the power of the Xiao family, he must have other plans.
But just this illusion made the whole execution platform tense.
Mei Kangping : "Please rest assured, I am here today not to start a war, but to recover the bloodline that has been missing from the Demon Realm for many years."
"Today, the Demon Realm will not only not start a war with your sect," Mei Kangping glanced meaningfully at Zhou Yan , "but also thank your sect for nurturing us over the years."
As soon as Mei Kangping finished speaking, everyone turned their attention to Qiao Wan .
The missing bloodline of the Demon Realm?
She... is a demon?! And not just that, she is the princess of the Demon Realm?!
Damn it! A pure-blooded demon has infiltrated the sect and no one noticed.
And she is Zhou Yan's disciple.
Zhou Yan is a senior elder in the Yuqing Peak cultivation stage in Kunshan.
If they couldn't even notice this, what does it mean?
Not only Zhou Yan's expression changed, but also the senior disciples present showed a change in their faces.
Just when the Xiao family lost face before, now they have brought disgrace to Zhou Yan and Kunshan.
Mei Kangping, as rumored, is indeed petty-minded.
But it's not over yet.
Mei Kangping's gaze swept over and fell on Mu Xiaoxiao. Suddenly, he paused.
This demonic cultivator's perception of desires and emotions has always been more acute than other cultivators'.
Under the gaze of that person, Mu Xiaoxiao inexplicably felt a hint of fear and clung to Zhou Yan's sleeve.
Mei Kangping glanced and noticed Mu Xiaoxiao's little finger tightly holding onto Zhou Yan's sleeve. A glint flashed in his eyes, and he chuckled.
"I thought that Yuqing Spiritual Master was a cold-hearted person, making our Empress suffer a lot. Now it seems that it depends on the person."
"Yuqing Spiritual Master seems to have a good relationship with your disciple. It doesn't look like a master-disciple relationship, but more like a husband and wife."
"Or could it be an illicit affair?"
Zhou Yan's face changed drastically!
Mei Kangping's casual glance chilled him to the core.
The execution platform became noisy. Although no one believed what Mei Kangping said, everyone couldn't help but glance in the direction of these master and disciple.
Mu Xiaoxiao hurriedly let go of Zhou Yan's sleeve, her face turning pale.
Mei Kangping likes to leave his words unfinished, leaving people to guess.
As for whether they guess right or wrong, it has nothing to do with him.
He just hints, leaving behind doubts and suspicions for others to unravel.
Seeing that Qiao Wan still hadn't made any movement, Xue Yunchao whispered, "Empress, please."
Qiao Wan looked at the carriage in front of her.
"Qiao Wan," Ma Huaizhen suddenly spoke up, his eyes fixed on her, "Are you really going over there?"
"Between what's true and what's false over there, I don't think you're clueless about it."
Qiao Wan remained silent and, under everyone's gaze, boarded the intricately decorated carriage.
As the pale golden plum-patterned curtain dropped, blocking the view from inside the carriage.
In that moment, a raging demonic flame swept through.
The clear blue sky seemed to be clawed open by some sharp object, revealing a dark crack.
Qiao Wan sat in the car, staring at the crack in the sky without looking away.
The dark crack was getting closer and closer.
On the other side of this crack was a magical realm.
The car flew over the mountains and entered the sky.
Qiao Wan looked down and met the worried eyes of a young man in the crowd.
Just as they were about to jump into the crack.
Qiao Wan suddenly moved!
She gritted her teeth, lifted her skirt, and jumped out of the car!
Now she had nothing to lose.
No one expected Qiao Wan to jump out of the car!
Xue Yunchao's face changed, and he tried to catch her, but the car had already fallen into the crack, and he missed. He could only watch the pink figure falling from the sky!
Mei Kangping's face also changed.
In the blink of an eye, it was a spectacular scene.
The guy who had been in control of the situation and showing off disappeared in an instant.
The man clenched his folding fan, almost blurting out a curse!
But at the same time, the crack in space began to close.
It was too late.
The car and the black fog disappeared into the sky.
Everyone witnessed this scene and saw the pink figure falling rapidly!
The situation suddenly took a turn for the worse!
All her meridians were broken, her cultivation was destroyed, and she fell to the level of ordinary people.
Maybe even worse than ordinary people, their injuries were not as severe.
Jumping from such a height, Qiao Wan was undoubtedly dead!
The wind howled in her ears.
Qiao Wan clenched her lips, determination shining in her eyes.
She didn't want to go to the magical realm or anywhere else.
The strong wind carried the girl, smashing her towards the hundred-zhang cliff!
"Qiao Wan!!!"
That figure disappeared under the misty mountains.
The entire execution platform fell silent once again.
Lu Pihan clenched his fist, his face turning pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Ma Huaizhen tightly gripped his wheelchair, unable to speak for a long time.
After a long silence, someone finally spoke from the execution platform.
"Qiao... Is Qiao Wan dead?"
Everyone had seen it clearly.
Even a cultivator might not survive such a jump, let alone Qiao Wan.
She had no chance of survival.
This time, neither the magical realm, Kunshan, nor the Xiao family had a good outcome.
But what nobody expected was that Qiao Wan had such determination. She refused to accept her identity as the princess of the magical realm and would rather jump to her death than go back with Mei Kangping.
In a resolute and tragic way, she slapped all three parties in the face and declared that she was just Qiao Wan.
No one but Qiao Wan could be her.
Indeed.
Who would have thought?
Pei Chunzheng paused for a moment, pursed his lips, and flew down the mountain on his sword!
No one among the tens of thousands of people present had expected this.
Qiao Wan had reached such a point.
Qiao Wan jumped down?
Zhou Yan looked down at the hundred-foot cliff in disbelief.
"Master." Mu Xiaoxiao hesitated as she called out.
Zhou Yan had a dry throat as he stared down without blinking.
Except for the swirling mist, nothing could be seen.
That touch of pink skirt disappeared in front of everyone.
Zhou Yan stumbled back a few steps, grasping the chair, and bending over.
His white hair fell like water, shaking like a sieve. The noble and cold sword immortal vanished instantly, as if he had aged hundreds of years.
He...
He never thought Qiao Wan would die.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked worried and anxious, "Master..."
At this moment, no one believed that Qiao Wan could survive. The only outcome of falling down was turning into powder.
The execution platform was silent, both on and off the stage.
Ma Huaizhen : "What are you waiting for?! Send someone down now!"
But on the other side of Taixu Peak.
In the deep abyss, the corner of the girl's eyes lit up with a mark like a dragon scale, and several white dragon shadows enveloped her as they soared into the sky!
In the next second, a white dragon flickered and disappeared into the clouds in the blink of an eye.
"You... little sister! I've caught you!" Gan Nan stammered, his voice filled with shock, joy, and lingering fear.
Qiao Wan lay on the white dragon, thinking about the courage she had just shown when she jumped down, feeling a little scared.
Her mouth was blown open by the wind, and she felt like she drank a stomachful of air.
Her heart seemed to be twisted by someone, feeling a bit sour. But at the same time, a sense of joy and relief bubbled up from the bottom of her heart.
Qiao Wan couldn't help but laugh, the laughter getting louder and louder.
You see, she didn't have to stay in Kunshan, nor go to the realm of demons.
Damn it, no one should underestimate her.
Qiao Wan grinned fiercely.
Gan Nan trembled, and the dragon body leaned, hesitating.
Qiao... Qiao little sister, did she become so heartbroken that she lost her mind... How could he comfort her?
Qiao Wan crawled on the back of the dragon, looking at the mountains and rivers beneath the clouds.
She knew that Gan Nan would definitely catch her.
From the moment she met the young man's gaze in the car, Qiao Wan was ready.
She didn't rely on Mei Kangping or Zhou Yan .
But friends were different, friends could be entrusted with life and death.
She and Gan Nan had sworn a bond in the process.
The white dragon raised its tail, breaking through the clouds, as if breaking free from invisible cages and shackles, soaring up into the sky.
Life is like dew, the heavens are vast.
From now on, on this path of cultivation, she would slowly, step by step, climb up again.
In less than a day, the entire cultivation world knew.
Kunshan, the realm of demons, and the Xiao family, were all slapped in the face by a girl.
And the girl named Qiao Wan stabbed Xiao Zongyuan, a man from the Xiao family, with a sword, breaking her bond with Yuqing Spiritual Master, and giving up the privilege of being the princess of the Magic Domain. She leaped down from the sky and jumped into the depths of the Taixu Peak abyss.
