Chapter 4331 4333 [Fight to the Death]

In the next few days, Xiang Nan stayed in bed in the Duke's Mansion to recuperate.

Song Yuzhi and Li Xiuning also often stayed by his side, helping him change and feed medicine, playing chess and chatting with him, so that he would not feel bored.

"It is said that when Sun Wukong found out that Bi Ma Wen was just a small official, he became furious and rebelled against the Heavenly Court. He resigned from his post and returned to Huaguo Mountain..." Xiang Nan told Song Yuzhi a story.

Since he was bored these days, Xiang Nan told Song Yuzhi the story of Journey to the West.

"Journey to the West" is one of the four great classics. It has been very popular since its inception and has been reprinted again and again.

Because it was so popular, the bookseller Yu Xiangdou compiled "Journey to the South", "Journey to the East", "Journey to the North", etc., and sold them together with the abridged version of "Journey to the West" as "Four Travels".

In short, it is precisely because Journey to the West is so popular that even booksellers come to take advantage of the popularity. This also indirectly shows how popular Journey to the West is.

Sure enough, Song Yuzhi was fascinated by Xiang Nan's story of Journey to the West. "What's next? How will the Heavenly Court deal with him?"

"It's getting late. Go back and have some rest. I'll tell you tomorrow." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said with a smile.

"Hateful, you're keeping me in suspense again." Song Yuzhi said coquettishly, "But, okay, it's your fault that your injury hasn't healed yet. When you recover, I want you to tell me the whole story in one breath."

"Don't worry, I will." Xiang Nan nodded and smiled.

Song Yuzhi just left with satisfaction.

……

"Come in." Xiang Nan raised his voice after Song Yuzhi left.

Then a red shadow flew into the room, followed by a gust of fragrant wind blowing in the face, which made people feel refreshed.

"Young Master Zhong's stories are so interesting that even I was fascinated by them." Kanan smiled.

  "Of course. When it comes to storytelling, no one in the world can compare to me." Xiang Nan smiled proudly. Thousands of years of cultural accumulation, is that a joke?

"Indeed." Qianqian nodded, "Master Zhong can be called 'the most talented man in the world'."

"You're welcome. If you have anything to ask me, just tell me directly." Xiang Nan waved his hand and ignored her flattery.

"Can't I just come and see you?" Qianqian said shyly, "You were really cruel to yourself. You actually cut yourself so many times."

She knew that internal injuries could be faked, so she once pretended to be poisoned and asked Xiang Nan and Xu Ziling to help her heal her injuries. But Xiang Nan's external injuries could not be faked, he really cut himself with a knife.

"Okay, don't say these things to me. Do you think I will believe them?" Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "Just tell the truth. Don't beat around the bush."

Hearing Xiang Nan say this, a trace of loneliness flashed across Kankan's face, but then she smiled and said, "Master Zhong is still straightforward. Well, then I'll tell you the truth. I came here this time because Master wanted me to take back the holy relic."

The evil emperor's relic is the most precious treasure of the Demon Sect. It is not only a symbol of the evil emperors of all generations, but also contains the essence of the evil emperors of all generations. For the Demon Sect, its status is more important than the imperial seal and the Heshi Bi, and it has both symbolic significance and practical value.

Now the evil emperor's relic is in Xiang Nan's hands. As the leader of the Demon Sect and the Queen of Yin, Zhu Yuyan naturally wants to get it back.

"Yes, the evil emperor's relic is a treasure passed down from generation to generation in your Demon Sect. Logically, it should be returned to you." Xiang Nan nodded, "But as far as I know, the evil emperor's relic was originally a burial object stolen from an ancient tomb by the first generation of evil emperor Xie Tiao. So strictly speaking, the evil emperor's relic was also stolen from someone else by your Demon Sect. In this case, let's not talk about taking it back. As the saying goes, everything is created by heaven and it belongs to the capable. If she wants to get the evil emperor's relic from me, she can, if she has the ability, she can come and get it herself."

The evil emperor's relic can store the inner essence, so he was reluctant to hand over such a treasure. Moreover, the crystal ball was originally obtained by the demon sect from tomb robbery. Now that he has taken it away, it is the cycle of justice and retribution.

If he can't keep it and it is taken away by someone else in the future, he deserves it.

……

"Don't be like that, Master Zhong. As long as you agree to return the evil emperor's relics, we in the Demon Sect are willing to pay any price." Seeing him say that, Wan Wan hurriedly said, "Even if you want to ascend the throne and become emperor, we in the Demon Sect are willing to help you with all our strength."

"Hahahaha~" Xiang Nan burst into laughter when he heard it, "Ascend the throne and become emperor?! What a joke. If I wanted to be an emperor, I would have been the emperor of all the lands and seas. Do I still need the support of your Demon Sect?"

Kanan was stunned for a moment.

For the people in the Demon Sect, unifying the martial arts world, dominating the world, deposing Confucianism, and ruling the Demon Sect alone have always been their highest ideals.

So she later painstakingly cultivated Mingkong, also known as Wu Zhao, and allowed her to usurp the Li family's throne, ascend the throne and become the first and only empress of China.

Therefore, when she heard Xiang Nan's refusal, she was really surprised. She never thought that there would be someone in the world who didn't want to be emperor.

"Is there really no room for negotiation?" Kanan spoke again.

If Xiang Nan doesn't even care about ascending the throne, then any gold, silver and treasures will be of no use to him.

"No." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said.

"Then you and our Demon Sect will fight to the death from now on." Kanan said.

"You can come and rob as much as you want." Xiang Nan nodded and said, "But I have to remind you first that the four great bandits of the Demon Sect and the shadow swordsman Yang Xuyan have all been killed by me. So if you send people, it's best to send more experts, otherwise you won't even have the chance to get close to me."

"You killed all four major bandits of the Demon Sect? No wonder there has been no news about them in these days." When Kanan heard this, she was shocked.

The four great bandits of the Demon Sect are Bian Bufu, You Niaojuan, Rong Fengxiang and Rong Jiaojiao. Although their individual martial arts are not as good as that of the Yin Queen Zhu Yuyan, when they unite, they are much stronger than Zhu Yuyan.

This is also the reason why Zhu Yuyan has been unable to unify the Demon Sect for so many years.

But unexpectedly, the four major bandits had all died at the hands of Xiang Nan. From this point of view, even if Zhu Yuyan came out, she would probably return empty-handed.

"Since Master Zhong said so, the Demon Sect will fight you to the death from now on." K'k'k then said, "You better be careful in the future. We in the Demon Sect may not be as good as you in terms of martial arts, but this world does not only rely on martial arts to decide victory or defeat."

"Thank you for the reminder. I will pay attention to it." Xiang Nan nodded. "By the way, where are Ziling and Shi Xiaojie now?"

"They have been rescued by Luokong and brought back to Jingnian Zen Temple." Wan Wan replied, "And as you expected, they did become closer during their escape.

But my master said that it is impossible for them to be together. Because the saints of Cihang Jingzhai are not allowed to fall in love, and Fan Qinghui will not allow Shi Feixuan to marry Xu Ziling. "
