Imperial Treasure

Chapter 1175 - 689: Shi Zhixuan (2)

Suddenly, Wanwan touched her foot lightly, leaping from the tip of the bamboo like a solitary swan, the Heavenly Demon Slash unleashed!

This slash lacked the usual extravagance and deliberation, yet it was Wanwan’s strongest strike.

Demonic Qi surged, releasing her innate arrogance and murderous intent...

Shi Feixuan looked up, her fingers manipulating the Colorless Sword...

Sword ascended, blade descended, Heavenly Demon in chaos.

The raindrops seemed to pause for a second.

Blink of an eye.

The sword left no trace, the blade drew no blood.

Yet the tides arose!

This was the battle that ensued after the Evil King Shi Zhixuan appeared.

Only one move was made, and after the tides subsided, both Wanwan and Shi Feixuan disappeared into the lake, with Jin also vanishing without a trace, while the others only witnessed the torrential rain pouring down, as if washing away everything, and the lush green bamboo sea seemed enveloped in a misty water haze.

As for Yan Huifeng and the others... where were they to be found? They had all retreated during Wanwan’s battle.

Only then did Li Jiancheng remember to take off his outer robe, "Ruo, my robe is not yet wet, you...."

Princess Ruo smiled slightly: "No need."

These words were spoken softly, lighter than the rain itself, as she gently looked into the depths of the bamboo forest, then turned and whispered a few words to Li Xiuning before they left together, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were unwilling to stay any longer in such damp surroundings, however, Li Yuanji’s Princess Consort’s body remained on the ground, and before leaving, he furiously ordered his subordinates to hunt down Yan Huifeng and the others, thoroughly investigating this matter...

It seemed that the previously tense atmosphere at Wulou Temple quieted down, returning to its original serene solitude...

Yet, many knew in their hearts, Jianghu was bound to stir up another storm.

Because the Evil King had returned.

In the carriage, Shong Xiufang used a towel to wipe the water droplets from her hair, paying no mind to her damp clothes, only looking at Ouyang Xiyi seated opposite, who seemed still preoccupied with earlier events, somewhat lost in thought, muttering under his breath how impossible, how impossible...

Shong Xiufang’s eyes subtly darkened, speaking quietly: "I think.... After all, Bi Xiuxin has been deceased for many years, and the age doesn’t match... Sui Yi mustn’t be her, the Evil King Shi Zhixuan must have mistaken her."

Ouyang Xiyi opened his eyes, speaking slowly: "If it were someone else calling her that, perhaps I’d think it was a mistake, but Shi Zhixuan, what kind of man is he, regardless of what People Under the Heavens say about him approaching Bi Xiuxin intentionally for breaking Cihang Calming Studio and becoming her husband, I believe... a man like him would never hide his name for a woman for decades and acknowledge her as his wife just for the sake of breaking a game... "

He looked out the window, his eyes especially deep, seemingly containing a faint watery haze, "Xiufang, you don’t know what kind of person she is... Shi Zhixuan would certainly keep her in his heart, and never forget her for life, if so, how could he mistake her...

"In all the world, how many are like Bi Xiuxin?"

Bi Xiuxin... Shong Xiufang knew what kind of existence she represented in her generation back then, saying she was the pinnacle of women would not be an exaggeration, whether it was Song Que or Ning Daoqi, these people all respected her deeply, or how many people, like Ouyang Xiyi, kept her deeply in their hearts, unable to forget for a lifetime.

Yet, despite that, she still found it hard to accept.

Is Sui Yi Bi Xiuxin?

But speaking of age....

Have you met Zhu Yuyan?" Ouyang Xiyi suddenly asked.

The one from the Dark Sunflower Gate?

Shong Xiufang shook her head.

"Zhu Yuyan’s appearance nowadays, compared to you, may not seem much older."

"At their level of Martial Arts Cultivation, while eternal youth may not be guaranteed, maintaining a youthful appearance for thirty or forty years is quite easy... So, the age difference between Sui Yi and Bi Xiuxin also means little, moreover, her true age is probably unknown, right... And her true origins remain a mystery, yet she’s skilled in medicine, understands antiques, has extraordinary appraisal abilities, astonishing swordsmanship,

and from temperament to conduct and mindset, greatly resembles her...."

Ouyang Xiyi spoke intermittently, then suddenly said: "Back then, there were rumors she was deliberately killed by Shi Zhixuan using the Immortal Seal Technique, the truth remains elusive, perhaps due to significant upheavals leading to her estrangement with Shi Zhixuan, or losing her memory..."

Shong Xiufang truly dared not say more, for with Ouyang Xiyi’s analysis, she seemed brainwashed, vaguely believing Sui Yi might indeed be Bi Xiuxin....

Elsewhere, after Natasha and her companions rushed into the bamboo forest, two individuals from outside space-time immediately learned some information about Bi Xiuxin from Fu Junnuo, upon knowing, they were wholly unsettled.

"Bi Xiuxin is well-known, even among our Goryeo Martial Arts people, most know her, despite twenty years passing, if it were back then.... She would be a figure beyond compare among females," Fu Junnuo typically possessed a masculine demeanor, now adopting a somewhat feminine stance, sighed: "I never imagined Sui Yi would be considered Bi Xiuxin...."

The tone here.. it wasn’t about disbelief or unwillingness to accept.

Natasha glanced at her, "I don’t care what kind of person Bi Xiuxin is, anyway, Sui Yi could never be her, but that man indeed resembles Shi Zhixuan... I think you have no other man comparable to him here,"

Previously, Natasha lacked regard for the people in this world, despite reminders from Sui Yi and Hell’s Wan Ge, by nature she was fearless, never fearing anyone, simply wary of Sui Yi, not fearing.

But that man was different.

When he appeared..... he exuded overwhelming demonic charisma over the entire scene!

In modernity, he would be a peerless male deity, captivating everywhere globally.(To be continued. If you enjoy this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations, monthly tickets, your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please read at m.qidian.com.)
