Everything that happened in the scene had become a foregone conclusion. Everyone understood that Ye Xuan was not at fault and that had always been wronged, always misunderstood.
Yet, the person he loved most, the palace master of Jade Fox Palace, Hu Qianzao, was still harboring hatred against him. Even, according to what Hu Qianzao said, she had killed Ye Xuan.
This meant that Ye Xuan’s fate was probably sealed. Thinking of this, those present who were sensitive could not help but shed tears. The female disciples had already tears rolling down their cheeks, even some of the tough male guards were deeply moved.
Heaven was far too unkind to Ye Xuan, a sincere man.
“Palace master, you... you were just joking with us just now, right? You didn’t really kill Brother Ye Xuan, did you?” At this moment, a little fox with tears in her eyes asked Hu Qianzao.
Hearing this, Hu Qianzao was momentarily at a loss for words. Tears also uncontrollably streamed down her cheeks, how could she tell these disciples of Jade Fox Palace...
She not only killed Ye Xuan, but—!
Thinking back to when she confidently told the people of Jade Fox Palace to watch and see, assuring them they would be satisfied.
And they were all excitedly waiting to see her handle Ye Xuan.
But now, her heart was filled with guilt and embarrassment, unsure of how to start. After a moment of silence, she finally said, “I killed Ye Xuan... I... I wronged him...”
As soon as Hu Qianzao said this, silence fell again in Jade Fox Palace. Everyone’s gaze was filled with pity as they looked towards Ye Xuan.
Their palace master had really wronged Ye Xuan too much which made them feel very guilty themselves. Fortunately, the present Ye Xuan was not the Ye Xuan of the future, his grievances weren’t as great, thinking this made them feel a bit better.
“Palace master... how... why did you kill Ye Xuan... sob... don’t kill Brother Ye Xuan, he is innocent–!!!” The little fox cried naively to Hu Qianzao.
Listening to the little fox’s crying, Hu Qianzao felt even more guilt and sorrow.
She involuntarily said, “I... I should have listened to his explanation, but I thought... I thought he had finally fallen into my hands, only... only out of fear of death, trying to talk his way out... I... I was wrong...”
As she spoke, tears continued to flow down her face. In her mind, the scenes of what she had done to Ye Xuan began to surface. At that time, when her revenge was satisfied, how exhilarating was her mood? The scene emerging in her memory was exactly the one she was recalling.
Ye Xuan, ignoring the body of Wan Yuxin, had just come out of the secret chamber and was immediately met by a pair of cold eyes staring at him. It was a stunningly beautiful figure, with delicate features, snow-white skin, black eyes, and dark hair, wearing a pink dress, with a pair of sharp fox ears on her head and nine huge pale pink tails swaying slowly behind her.
If judged by beauty, she could be described as nation-toppling; if by charm, she was unparalleled in the world; if by allure, there might be no one to surpass her.
Such a beauty, if she looked at someone even once, many would feel their life was complete.
However, at this moment, she was looking at him with utmost hatred.
At this moment, Ye Xuan panicked as no matter what situation he faced, he could remain composed. The only thing he couldn’t bear was the hatred in those eyes directed at him.
“Ye Xuan, today, you won’t escape–!!!” Hu Qianzao coldly watched Ye Xuan, raising her hands, pink spiritual power formed into two orbs of light, and as she turned her body, she launched them flying towards Ye Xuan.
“–!!!”
Before he could speak, already facing Hu Qianzao’s attack, Ye Xuan did not dare to be careless, darting away, dodging the two orbs of light.
However, the orbs continued to chase Ye Xuan’s figure. Then, Ye Xuan formed a sword with his fingers, directing a sword energy to fly out, colliding with Hu Qianzao’s condensed orbs.
Boom–!!!!
With a thunderous noise for a moment, a huge pink spiritual array blossomed in the sky, spreading thousands of feet, its powerful force enveloping Ye Xuan and trapping him within.
“Try this move of mine–!!!” After binding Ye Xuan’s movements, Hu Qianzao changed the hand signs and danced in the air.
The next moment, behind Hu Qianzao, a massive nine-tailed spirit fox apparition appeared. The nine tails of the spirit fox covered the sky and the sun, shaking mountains and rivers, causing the earth to crack.
“This... this is... the Jade Fox Palace’s forbidden technique, the Nine-Tails Manifestation–! It’s really the palace master; I didn’t expect that the future palace master actually mastered this move.”
“With this move, Ye Xuan will definitely not be able to escape from the palace master’s hands–!!!”
Watching the scene unfold, everyone couldn’t help but exclaim.
The Nine-Tails Manifestation is a technique passed down by the founder of the Jade Fox Palace, said to be mastered only by a nine-tailed spirit fox.
However, in reality...
Even the previous palace masters and their spouses couldn’t master this technique.
“Ye Xuan, die–!!!” In the sky, Hu Qianzao’s expression was somewhat crazed, her eyes full of fiery hatred as she waved her hand, and the giant nine-tailed spirit fox manifestation reached out to grab Ye Xuan.
With a swipe of its claw, mountains and rivers trembled, and space itself cracked. Facing Hu Qianzao’s attack, Ye Xuan activated a spell in his hand, forming a Tai Chi symbol in front of him, which actually managed to deflect the claw, and he flew back thousands of feet.
“Phew–!!!”
Although he landed steadily, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
At this moment, his heart was filled with sorrow. Not because Hu Qianzao had injured him, but because the current Hu Qianzao looked so heartbroken and angry.
The Nine-Tails Manifestation was clearly not yet mastered by Hu Qianzao, the energy spilling out was so great that even the surrounding mountains and rivers were shattered.
If this continues, she will cause a lot of unnecessary killing. What kind of harm had she suffered to be so desperate to kill him?
Thinking of this, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but feel sad for Hu Qianzao., “Qian’er... I’m sorry, I failed to protect you... you have suffered so much pain.” Looking at the crazed, despairing, and hate-filled Hu Qianzao in the sky, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but apologize:
“If only I had recognized the true form of the Ultimate Desire Devouring Gu, if only I hadn’t been tricked by her... you wouldn’t have been so cruelly hurt... I’m sorry...”
His eyes were filled with remorse.
“No–!!!” Hearing this, Hu Qianzao couldn’t help but cry out, “The one who should be saying sorry isn’t you, it’s me–!!! It’s me who wronged you, why are you apologizing, why–!!!”
The people of Jade Fox Palace couldn’t help but be deeply moved.
Ye Xuan’s love for Hu Qianzao had reached such an extent that even though she wronged him and misunderstood him, causing him to suffer, he still felt it was his own shortcomings.
In this world, to find such a devoted person is truly rare–!
