Unparalleled Evildoer

Chapter 370: The Wishful Couple
Wuzhan brought Zhulang and Miaoxin, led by the ghost guards, into the hall. Inside the hall, Bie Xin was sitting on a jade chair, with Feng Yan beside him. On both sides sat several generals including Boyue, Bai Daoxing and Zhuohua. After the three came in, the hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone stared at the three people who came in.

Wuzhan came to a stop ten feet away from the steps, bowed and said, "Yusou greets Your Majesty!"

Bie Xin looked at the old man in the audience and asked in a deep voice, "According to the Ghost Guards, you helped annihilate the three beast armies in Nanzhanbuzhou, and when you came to Dongsheng, you came up with a clever plan to disperse the enemy army and poisoned them to greatly reduce their strength. Then you attacked them from behind and set up a formation to kill Wuli. I wonder if what the Ghost Guards said is true?"

Wuzhan replied: "General Guiwei is right. It was indeed a bit of luck."

"Well! You have made great contributions to my Qingqiu City. Tell me, what reward do you want?"

Wuzhan said: "I am willing to assist the general because I am appreciated by him. As for the reward, I have not yet decided. I beg Your Majesty to give me a few more days to think about it."

"You helped Qingqiu without any reward in mind. Do you think I will believe you?"

Wuzhan said calmly, "It seems that Your Majesty does not believe in my sincerity."

"For someone like you who can kill the Demon Emperor, would you be willing to be a powerless military advisor?"

"I don't care about who wins or loses or fame and fortune. I only care about whether what I have learned in my life can be put to good use. Now that I have encountered such an opportunity, I certainly don't want to miss it."

Bie Xin asked, "You just want to be the Ghost Guard's military advisor?"

Wuzhan glanced at the ghost guard and said, "Since the battle in Qingqiu City has been decided, I have nothing to do here. I want to go back to Nanzhan and try my luck!"

Bie Xin said in a cold voice: "You have done so many great things for my Qingqiu City, how can I bear to let you leave." He then said in a stern voice: "Come, send the master and disciple to the dungeon for entertaining." As soon as he finished speaking, the fierce orc guards came forward and surrounded them.

Miao Xin and Zhu Lang immediately took up their positions upon hearing this, ready to attack at any time. They did not expect Bie Xin to suddenly repay kindness with enmity, but the ghost guard said, "Your Majesty, wait a minute!" He stepped forward and said, "Yu Sou has made great contributions to Qingqiu City. I think it is inappropriate to treat such a meritorious person in this way."

Bie Xin looked at the ghost guard coldly and said, "Not right, huh! Do you want to let him go and join the coalition forces?"

Wuzhan said: "Since I have decided to leave, why would I go to join the coalition forces?"

"I have seen many people like you. As long as there is a possibility, I will not leave any room for you. This is your own choice. If you are willing to stay in Qingqiu City, not to mention being a counselor under the Ghost Guard, I can even let you sit as the general of the entire Qingqiu City." He turned to look at the Ghost Guard and said, "Do you think that with so many achievements, I can use you, and your previous collusion with the Dragon Palace can be written off, and you can walk out of the Star Picking Palace alive!"

"Your Majesty, what are you going to do? I am loyal to you. But...someone must be trying to slander me!" The ghost guard was so scared that he immediately knelt on the ground and begged.

Bie Xin said: "As long as there is such behavior, it means that they are not loyal, but if there is an inducement, they will jump out and take your place."

"Your Majesty..., Your Majesty..., please have mercy on me, I am innocent!" The ghost guard kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"Kill her and bury her properly!" Bie Xin said coldly.

"What an injustice!" Seeing that things were not going well, the ghost guard suddenly turned around and tried to rush out, but found that the general Ying Zhao was already guarding the entrance of the palace. He had no choice but to jump up and try to break through the roof of the palace. However, as soon as he jumped up, he stopped in the air and his whole body could not move. He knew that he was under the spell of Bai Daoxing. In a hurry, he shouted, "Military Advisor, save me!"

Wuzhan didn't move, just looked at the three faces distorted by struggle, without saying a word, as if this result had been expected.

Boyue slowly walked in front of the ghost guard, the scythe fell, blood gushed out, and the ghost guard's body was split in half. Soon, orcs came forward to deal with the corpse. During this time, almost everyone in the hall did not blink an eye, and was not in a hurry to take Master Wuzhan and his disciple away.

After a long pause, Bie Xin asked, "I will ask again, what is your purpose?"

Miaoxin could no longer bear it, and with tears in her eyes she pointed at Zhuohua who didn't care at all, and said angrily: "It's all for her!" Although she had only met him once, she would not make a mistake about this person.

"Shut up!" Wuzhan shouted sternly.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and they were all a little surprised. An old man actually wanted to do it for the beautiful princess. It really proved the saying that people can still look good even when they grow old. Then, there were sighs in the hall.

"For me?" Zhuohua looked at Miaoxin in confusion.

"Impossible, Wanjiao, have you really forgotten everything?" Miaoxin looked at Zhuohua unwillingly.

"Wan Jiao!" Zhuo Hua's heart skipped a beat. Another person mentioned this name to her. He also mistook her for Wan Jiao. However, she changed her mind and said with a smile, "I have never met you. You must have mistaken me for someone else."

But she didn't know that Bie Xin, Boyue and Feng Yan were watching Wan Jiao's reaction at this moment. After hearing the answer, the three of them felt relieved.

Boyue said: "Princess Zhuohua has been practicing with me since she was young, how could she know you? Stop talking nonsense here, take them away and throw them into the dungeon!"

"Clang..." Zhulang drew out the Changhe Sword and blocked it in front of Wuzhan. His long hair moved without wind, emitting a cold sword intent. Miaoxin also stimulated thousands of blue flying swords at the same time, wrapping the three of them. The sword tips pointed outward, making a buzzing sound, ready to go.

Bie Xin looked at Miao Xin and Zhu Lang with interest and said, "These two disciples are also quite good. It's a pity that you still have no chance of escaping from this palace. If you don't surrender, your fate will be the same as that of the ghost guards."

Wuzhan smiled slightly, motioned the two men to put down their weapons, walked forward slowly, presented his weapons with both hands and said: "Someone entrusted me to bring a message to Your Majesty, 'If I can see her safe and sound in my lifetime, I will be satisfied and have no regrets in this life. It would be great if we never meet again.'" Upon hearing this, Bie Xin narrowed his eyes for a long time and said in a deep voice: "Take them down!" There were two other people who understood this sentence.

Ying Zhao came forward with his guards and locked the three people together with heavy chains, then took them out. Since Wuzhan did not resist, Miaoxin and Zhulang had no choice but to surrender.

After Wuzhan and his apprentice were escorted out of the palace, Bai Daoxing said, "I didn't expect that he didn't resist. However, there was no fear in his eyes. This person is definitely not an ordinary person. I wonder how Your Majesty will deal with them?"

Bie Xin said: "There are only two ways, one is imprisonment, the other is death."

"In my opinion, this man is very dangerous and has an evil spirit. The reason he does not resist is that he does not want to fight with Your Majesty. He has his own way to escape. I am afraid that Your Majesty's dungeon cannot hold him."

Bie Xin said, "The dungeon of Qingqiu City is at the foot of this mountain, a hundred feet below the sea level. The walls are all made of black iron and are full of traps. Even if he is a Golden Immortal, it would be difficult to escape from the dungeon. Saint Immortal, don't worry." He paused and said, "I have discussed it with Boyue, and the date is set for the 19th of this month, which is tomorrow. I wonder what Saint Immortal thinks of this date?"

"It's all up to your Majesty!" Bai Daoxing stood up and thanked him.

"Mother, I haven't made up my mind yet. Why did you make the decision for me? I don't want to."

Bie Xin said sternly: "What else do you need to think about? It is your blessing that you can marry a saint!"

"I just don't agree. I won't marry!" After saying that, he rushed out of the hall without even looking back.

"You..." Before Bie Xin could finish his words, he started coughing violently. Boyue hurried forward to help Bie Xin clear his qi.

Bie Xin's face turned pale and he recovered his breath, saying angrily: "I really spoiled her over the years!"

Boyue said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will go and persuade her later. She will definitely agree. Maybe she is just embarrassed."

Bai Daoxing said: "Since the princess hasn't made up her mind yet, otherwise..."

"Don't worry, Saint Fairy, this matter has been settled. She has no choice. Saint Fairy, go and have a rest." Bie Xin said.

Bai Daoxing hesitated to speak and bowed to leave.

……

In the back garden, Zhuohua locked himself in the house and started throwing things around, scaring the orc maid so much that she knelt outside and dared not to come out.

Not long after, Boyue came into the house and saw the mess on the floor. He said, "Zhuohua, you shouldn't disobey His Majesty. His Majesty did this all for you."

"Master, why do you say that? If she wants to do this for me, she should respect my wishes."

Boyue held Zhuohua's hand and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty's time is running out. She hopes that you can have a good home in the remaining time, unlike her, who will die alone in this wild land."

Zhuo Hua was shocked when he heard this: "How is it possible? The Queen Mother said she is fine. Master, please don't lie to me."

Boyue lamented, "The reason why His Majesty said that is because he doesn't want you to be sad. Your important matter is so urgent because she can't hold on for a few more days. She didn't let me tell you. You must not ask His Majesty."

Zhuo Hua looked at Boyue's hesitant face and knew the answer. Tears immediately flowed out, "No, there must be a way to save mother. Xiaobai has such high magic power, he will definitely heal mother. I will go find him now..."

"It's useless. Your Majesty and I have been together for so many years. Your Majesty's illness is best understood by you. If there was a cure, how could we have waited until today?"

Zhuohua couldn't stop crying, and grabbed Boyue's hand and said, "Master, is there no way? There must be a way."

Boyue shook his head helplessly and said, "The great war six hundred years ago not only damaged your majesty's inner elixir, but also caused him to be poisoned by cold, which seriously damaged his vitality. He has suffered from cold diseases for hundreds of years, but your majesty is strong. There is one thing he is worried about, which is finding the princess. Now, even if she is not injured again, her time is coming soon. Daoxing is a disciple of Miaodao Xianzun of Xuanling Sect. At a young age, he has already cultivated into a Daluo Jinxian, and is only one step away from the Hunyuan realm. This kind of talent is unique in the Heavenly Palace, and his future is limitless. Moreover, he is gentle and humble. If you become a Taoist partner with him, no one in this world will dare to mess with you, then she will be relieved."

Zhuohua was completely immersed in the pain, murmuring, "But, but I haven't made up my mind yet. Xiaobai is indeed very good, and we get along very well. He obeys me in everything, but for some reason, I don't feel moved."

"Feelings can grow stronger through getting along with each other in the future. As the saying goes, love grows with time. Love at first sight is only a momentary feeling and will fade in the future. But if you miss the opportunity, you may miss it for the rest of your life."

"Master may not believe me when I tell you this, but when I went to Nanzhan, I met a man who helped me successfully obtain the soul bead. If he had not appeared in time, I might have been humiliated by Ao Yu. When we parted, my heart ached terribly, as if I had always had such a person in my mind, making me think about meeting him again day and night. Although Xiaobai is a good person, my heart cannot accommodate him."

Boyue's face hardened and she said, "Humans are all ungrateful. He must have a purpose for being nice to you. Besides, humans and demons are different. Humans can only live for a hundred years, but the princess can live for thousands of years. Princess, please don't contact him again and give up this thought as soon as possible. Her Majesty just wants to live to see you get married. Don't let her down. She can't wait any longer."

Zhuohua hesitated for a long time and then sighed.

Boyue said again: "His Majesty has something else to tell you alone, please follow me to see His Majesty."
