Chapter 68 Shocking Change

"Of course, you can rest assured about one thing: regarding your relationship with Shouzhuo, whether or not you are in love with him, I promise I will not interfere further."

.

"Not only that, if you are truly determined to marry into the Feng family, I will personally arrange your marriage."

Seeing that she remained silent, Feng Xiu spoke slowly again.

These words were like a powerful medicine, instantly tipping the scales in the woman's mind.

"Three."

"Including you?"

Su Wantang nodded slightly, then paused for a moment, "Since the master refuses to come out, the three of us have decided to take action on the day the floodgates are opened."

As she spoke, Su Wantang glanced at Feng Xiu, as if she was preparing to say something she found difficult to say.

"So, the first thing it will do after it comes out is to kill me?" Feng Xiu said calmly.

"No, it's Zhuo Lang."

Feng Xiu understood. Li Xuanshuang and Su Wantang both belonged to the same organization, so Li Xuanshuang was not sealed away.

Therefore, there is no basis to say that the Ganlin Grand Sacrifice ruined the plan.

However, this only applies to Li Xuanshuang. The so-called sabotage plan mentioned by Jin Mu actually comes from the Iron Sword of the Demon God Palace.

"Then what do you want to do?" Feng Xiu frowned.

Su Wantang's gentle gaze revealed a firm resolve. "I will plead with the master, and the master will spare Zhuo Lang, and he will also spare you."

"That's what you think? What if it insists on killing me?"

"No, Master isn't that kind of person!"

Su Wantang was even more convinced, her words filled with certainty!

Feng Xiu shook his head; Su Wantang hadn't gotten to the point.

Feng Xiu would not place his hopes on the kindness of a great demon, entrusting the lives of his entire family to it.

But judging from Su Wantang's expression, she seemed to genuinely believe that Li Xuanshuang would let her go.

Feng Xiu remained calm and silent.

"In your opinion, what is Li Xuanshuang's strength like?" Feng Xiu asked slowly.

Unexpectedly, before Su Wantang could even open her mouth after speaking, Jin Mu sneered with a mocking expression.

"How dare a mere mortal warrior be compared to my master?"

Immediately following was another undisguised sneer.

Su Wantang remained silent, her expression somewhat blank, as if something in her memory was churning within her.

Feng Xiu's words left her speechless.

"I see, I understand." Feng Xiu sighed softly, not intimidated by Jin Mu's words.

He then stood up, his calm gaze sweeping over Su Wantang before finally settling on Jin Mu.

Jin Mu thought that his words had provoked Feng Xiu, and seemed to realize that Feng Xiu wanted to make a move.

Although his face was pale, his smile grew even more unrestrained, showing no concern whatsoever.

"One last question. After you ask, I'll let you go." His gaze paused slightly, then he looked at Su Wantang again. "Including your affair with Shouzhuo."

Su Wantang was slightly taken aback, and Jin Mu was astonished; the smile on his face slowly faded.

"Just how much benefit did Li Xuanshuang give you to make you so loyal to it?"

Silence fell over the room; the atmosphere was tense.

At the Demon God Palace, with the iron sword and Li Xuanshuang, Feng Xiu was filled with many doubts.

But none of that is the main point!

"Master, you've restored my soul..."

Su Wantang pondered for a long time, then placed her right hand on the back of her left, gently stroking her lower abdomen with both hands overlapping, and uttered a single sentence: C

"Power! My master has given me power!"

Jin Mu rudely interrupted her. He could tell that Feng Xiu had more patience for Su Wantang than he did.

Such a person will not break their word.

"I was originally a pear vendor. My master avenged me, transforming me into a demon and granting me unparalleled power!"

Despite the pain in his severed arm, Jin Mu spoke with a stern and resolute tone.

"Fine, you can go now, I won't kill you."

Feng Xiu waved his hand, answering quite decisively.

Li Xuanshuang specifically named me as someone who wanted to kill me; bringing the two of them along would provide some protection.

However, Li Xuanshuang's gratitude for saving his life also extinguished Feng Xiu's subsequent attempts to recruit him.

Now, with Feng Ao gone and Zhou Gang gone, only Feng Xiu remains to shoulder the burden of the entire Feng family.

Feng Xiu's will to survive was stronger than anyone else's, but he was faced with the killing intent of a great demon.

Even some trivial recruitment efforts could alleviate his somewhat agitated state of mind.

There are still a few Divine Realm experts in the city, I hope they...” Feng Xiu thought to himself.

Ideas are one thing, but putting them into practice is another.

Will these top martial arts masters back down? What would be the cost of engaging them?

After traveling for many months, this was the first time Feng Xiu truly felt that he had no control over his own destiny!

The more he thought this way, the more he resisted Li Xuanshuang, the more he understood this.

"I'm still too weak~"

Feng Xiu closed his eyes slightly, then slowly opened them again, his calm expression becoming even more resolute.

"Hmph~"

Upon hearing this, Jin Mu bent his knees, supported himself against the wall with one hand, and stood up unsteadily.

The movements were quite large. After finally standing up, he stumbled and walked past Feng Xiu, who remained calm.

Pushing open the door, he saw Feng Shouzhuo looking worried and hesitant. Jin Mu snorted at him and staggered out of the granary.

Feng Shouzhou ignored him. At this moment, his mind was full of things happening in the room, so he took advantage of the wide-open door.

He strode in.

"Big brother."

"Wantang".

He called out to her, and after seeing that Su Wantang was alright, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"We can talk about it when we get back. I agree to your relationship."

"You agreed?!" Feng Shouzhou's face lit up with joy.

Feng Xiu gave a faint "hmm" and then strode towards the door.

Inside the room, Feng Shouzhuo moved closer and took Su Wantang's hand with concern.

"My dear, I'm fine," Su Wantang replied softly.

in the courtyard.

A hurried sound of footsteps approached.

Upon hearing the report from the two guards, Wu Tie hurriedly dressed. As soon as he arrived, he saw the lanterns glowing in the afterglow.

A man with a missing arm walked away with difficulty and disappeared from sight.

"Young Master?" Wu Tie asked tentatively.

The guard's words were unclear, and he didn't know what had happened.

"Old Wu, you've come at the right time. Prepare three horses; we're heading back to the city," Feng Xiu ordered.

"Now?"

Wu Tie was taken aback; the sky had already completely darkened.

The summer night was darker than usual, and Wu Tie hesitated.

"Yes, the sooner the better."

Upon hearing this, Wu Tie didn't dare to think too much. Immediately afterward, he ordered someone to fetch three horses from the stable in the backyard.

They even had long torches prepared and inserted diagonally into the wooden slots at the horse's head.

Once lit, the grease sizzled, and burning embers fell into the horse's mane, causing the yellow horse to neigh uneasily.

inside the room.

Su Wantang and Feng Shouzhou also came out.

The affection between the two had faded considerably, and Feng Shouzhou had overheard everything that had been said in the room.

They also knew that this matter was of utmost importance.

Immediately, Feng Shouzhu helped Su Wantang onto her horse, and then Feng Xiu took the lead in cracking the whip.

The horses suddenly accelerated.

The three torches, stirred by the cool breeze, transformed into fiery serpents that raced wildly through the night.

They sped towards Qingyan City.

"Big brother!"

The horse's hooves pounded the dusty path as Feng Shouzhuo crouched down and drew closer.

Feng Xiu stared ahead. In the pitch-black night, illuminated by the embers, his brow remained furrowed.

"Big brother," Feng Shouzhou called out again.

"Why did Li Xuanshuang want to kill me?!"

Feng Shouzhuo raised his voice even louder, his face contorted, as if he couldn't quite understand.

"Su Wantang is his mother's woman. You consummated your marriage with her. He not only wants to kill you, but also me, and my whole family. Do you understand?"

Feng Xiu's thoughts were interrupted, and he replied with a cold face.

Now that things have come to this, Feng Xiu has already accepted his fate, and there is no point in dwelling on Feng Shouzhuo's actions anymore.

Feng Shouzhuo opened his mouth, about to offer a few words of explanation and protest.

"Shut up, don't say you two are truly in love."

Feng Xiu abruptly and rudely interrupted him.

Feng Shouzhu remained silent. He looked at Feng Xiu's slightly tired but resolute face, trembled, and finally said nothing.

In the stillness of the night, only the clear sound of galloping hooves could be heard.

I don't know how much time passed.

"Whoa~~" Feng Xiu, who was at the front, suddenly pulled on the reins.

Under immense force, the horse reared up on its forelegs and let out a long neigh.

Without the howling wind, the torch fire suddenly grew stronger again.

Feng Xiu's brows furrowed.

"There are people ahead!" Feng Shouzhou also saw the dense forest near the official road ahead.

There appeared to be a man standing there, but upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Jin Mu.

Jin Mu's complexion improved slightly, but his legs seemed to be bent, as if they had been broken.

Hearing the noise behind him, his face instantly lit up with joy.

He ran towards Feng Xiu and the other two as if fleeing for his life, hobbling and cursing as he ran.

It was as if some terrifying being was watching them in the darkness of night.

"My dear, my dear, where are you?"

A faint, wistful thought suddenly echoed throughout the room.

Feng Shouzhou was a little confused. He turned around and glanced at Su Wantang, only to see Su Wantang trembling slightly.

As if grasping at a straw, she suddenly looked at Feng Xiu, pleading, "Young Master Feng, save me~"

Feng Xiu felt uneasy, but he did not turn around.

Jin Mu ran to Feng Xiu's side, panting heavily, and turned to look back at the shadowy dense forest.

"You lunatic, you crazy woman, I didn't kill him, why are you chasing me!"

Jin Mu gritted his teeth in anger!

"Even if I don't kill him, you'll still die. Anyone who dares to lay a hand on Zhuo Lang is my enemy."

A mournful, eerie sound rose again from the dense forest, rustling the leaves.

The sense of unease that welled up in Feng Xiu's heart grew stronger.

Immediately, he broke off the torch handle and threw it over.

The flames traced an arc in the air before landing on the ground, exploding into countless specks of fire.

The cool breeze stopped, and all around was deathly silent. Even the horses' hooves fell silent, snorting uneasily.

The next second, a woman dressed in a crimson robe slowly walked out of the forest.

The woman's eyebrows were slightly raised, with a floral rune engraved between them. Her face was delicate and fair, yet she exuded a chilling aura.

The moment Feng Xiu and the other man saw the woman's face, their pupils both froze!

"Wantang, this, this, how can she look exactly like you!"

Feng Shouzhuo spoke in disbelief, his voice trembling.

Feng Xiu felt a chill run down his spine and subconsciously glanced back at Su Wantang.

The exact same face, the exact same person?!

Su Wantang did not answer, but her eyes were already filled with tears. She murmured, "She is not me, she is not me~"

At this moment, the woman in red in front of her, with her sharp eyebrows sweeping across the room, noticed Feng Shouzhuo's pale face and brief moment of distraction in the firelight.

Her brows relaxed, and her red lips parted in a sweet smile.

"My dear, Wan Tang, Wan Tang has finally found you~"
