Zhu Xian: Get ten times the talent, the sword opens the gate of heaven

Chapter 399 Youji: Zhang Xiaofan, it turns out you're the one I love most...

Wan Jianyi glanced at Zhang Xiaofan, then looked at You Ji with a complicated expression, sighed, and said:

"Never mind, never mind, I can't bring myself to harm You Ji either."

"Since Xiao Fan pleaded for their lives, then we will spare their lives this time."

However, despite what Wan Jianyi said, he would never have spared Youji Qinglong's life today if Zhang Xiaofan hadn't pleaded for him.

After all, as two of the four Holy Envoys of the Ghost King Sect, and the two most important among them, they greatly contributed to the overall strength of the Ghost King Sect.

With the two men dead here, the Qingyun Sect will be less of a potential threat.

However, he still had to give Zhang Xiaofan face when he pleaded for him, as he didn't want Zhang Xiaofan to be unable to face his beloved disciple's wife when he returned.

Moreover, Wan Jianyi knew that since Zhang Xiaofan had pleaded for them, he would definitely be able to restrain the two of them in the future.

Zhang Xiaofan's cultivation has now reached the Taiqing realm. Perhaps by saving Youji and Qinglong this time, they will be grateful and follow Zhang Xiaofan, thus overthrowing the Ghost King.

In the future, the position of sect leader of the Ghost King Sect might very well belong to Zhang Xiaofan.

If Zhang Xiaofan could become the sect leader of the Ghost King Sect, he would definitely be able to unify the Demonic Sect. Given Xiaofan's feelings for the Qingyun Sect, he would certainly not attack the Qingyun Sect.

Moreover, since Zhang Xiaofan wanted to save You Ji and Qinglong, he couldn't stop him, because he was simply no match for him.

Even if they were together, they still couldn't beat him.

Hearing Wan Jianyi's words, Cangsong, though it was tempting to kill Qinglong immediately, gritted its teeth and said:

"Since Senior Brother Wan says he won't kill them, then I'll release them!"

"However, these two are so powerful that sparing their lives this time would be like releasing tigers back into the mountains, which would cause endless trouble in the future."

Upon hearing this, Wan Jianyi pointed at Zhang Xiaofan and said to Cangsong:

"If you think you can beat this kid, then you don't have to release Youji Qinglong."

Upon hearing this, Cangsong glanced at Zhang Xiaofan, noticing his blood-soaked body and the overwhelming murderous aura emanating from him. He swallowed hard, coughed, and said:

"After all, Zhang Xiaofan is my junior apprentice, how could I not give him face!"

"Release them, they must be released."

Upon hearing this, Wan Jianyi walked to Cangsong's side, patted him on the shoulder, and laughed:
"That's right. The martial arts world isn't just about fighting and killing; it's about human relationships and social interactions."

"Cangsong, you're too stubborn. You'll suffer if you keep going like this."

Cangsong listened to Wan Jianyi's teachings. If it were anyone else, he would have already slashed them with his sword, but this was Wan Jianyi's instruction, so he looked at him with a look of resignation and said:

"Senior Brother Wan is right!"

Seeing how obedient Cangsong was to Wan Jianyi, Zhang Xiaofan thought to himself that he was even more obedient than a biological son.

This also proves the strength of Wan Jianyi's personal charisma.

Cangsong respected Wan Jianyi as if he were his parents, Tian Buyi respected Wan Jianyi as if he were his elder brother, and the disciples of Qingyun Sect also admired Wan Jianyi back then.

Even members of the Demonic Sect held Wan Jianyi in a mixture of respect, fear, and anger.

The pine tree looked down at the azure dragon, removed its foot from its chest, and said coldly:

"Now that Zhang Xiaofan is protecting you, I will let you go."

"If you ever dare to ascend to the heavens again, I, Cangsong, will be the first to kill you!"

Upon hearing this, Qinglong remained expressionless and silent.

At this moment, Youji rushed over and helped Qinglong up. Looking at the severely injured Qinglong, who was barely clinging to life, her pretty face was full of heartache. She said:
"Brother, you..."

Qinglong, forcing himself to move, raised his hand and patted Youji's hand, saying:
"Little sister, I...I didn't...Pfft..."

Before he could finish speaking, Qinglong spat out another mouthful of blood, his aura rapidly declined, and his large hand fell limply to the ground.

Seeing this, Youji knew that Qinglong had used forbidden techniques twice and was now severely injured; there was probably no way to save him. She said with a pained expression:

"Big brother, big brother, don't scare me!"

However, faced with Youji's worries, Qinglong could only half-open his eyelids, wanting to say something to reassure Youji, but he couldn't say it. Blood with bone fragments slowly flowed from the corner of his mouth.

Seeing this, You Ji turned her gaze to Zhang Xiaofan and pleaded, "Xiaofan, is there any way you can save my brother?"

Zhang Xiaofan looked Qinglong up and down, then, seeing Youji's tearful eyes, said:
"I'll give it a try!"

Having said that, he placed the Azure Dragon on the ground and sat it down, pressing his palms on the Azure Dragon's back to stabilize it.

At the same time, a vast yet gentle stream of magical power flowed continuously into the Azure Dragon's body.

As Zhang Xiaofan healed the Azure Dragon, both of them were surrounded by azure and golden light, with mysterious golden runes rotating around them.

Xuanwu and Mr. Ghost glanced warily at Zhang Xiaofan and Wan Jianyi as they watched this scene, then slowly retreated behind them.

"Wait!"

Suddenly, Cangsong's deep voice rang out, his eyes fixed on the two of them, and he said in a deep voice:

"My nephew Zhang Xiaofan hasn't even spoken yet, and you two want to leave?"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Gui immediately stopped. He knew that if he took another step, Cangsong and Wan Jianyi would immediately attack and kill him and Xuanwu.

Wan Jianyi alone is no match for either of them.

Adding a pine tree to the mix at this point would leave them with absolutely no chance of survival.

Helpless, Mr. Ghost and Xuanwu could only stand silently in place, not daring to move an inch.

At this moment, the two only hoped that after Zhang Xiaofan healed Qinglong, he would plead for their lives.

In their view, Zhang Xiaofan would probably plead for their release.

After all, Zhang Xiaofan was not only the Vice Sect Master of the Ghost King Sect, Ghost Emperor, but also the son-in-law of the Sect Master, Ghost King. If the two of them died, the Ghost King Sect's strength would be weakened, which would be detrimental to both Ghost King and Vice Sect Master Ghost Emperor.

Ten minutes later, Zhang Xiaofan slowly finished his practice.

The Azure Dragon, whose eyes had been tightly closed, opened them at this moment. Its face was no longer deathly pale, and it had recovered somewhat.

Seeing this, Youji quickly helped Qinglong up and asked with concern:

"Big brother, it's so good that you're still alive! How are you feeling now?!"

Azure Dragon assessed his internal injuries and said:
"His life has been saved. He should recover fully after a few years of rest at home!"

At this point, Qinglong bowed to Zhang Xiaofan and said:
"Your subordinate is here to thank the Vice Sect Master. In the future, I will obey any orders you may give me."

Seeing Qinglong's sincere expression, Zhang Xiaofan knew that Qinglong was expressing his loyalty to him.

Moreover, this is a wise choice.

After all, his current strength is even greater than that of the Ghost King.

Qinglong also keenly sensed that the Ghost King was extremely wary of his son-in-law.

Qinglong has chosen the right side this time.

"Hmm!" Zhang Xiaofan hummed softly and didn't say anything more.

At this moment, You Ji also faced Zhang Xiaofan, bowed deeply, and said:
"I am deeply grateful to the junior... Vice Sect Master for saving my life. I have no way to repay you."

In front of outsiders, and because of Biyao, Youji could only suppress her feelings for Zhang Xiaofan.

Especially after meeting Wan Jianyi, Youji felt a profound sense of peace. At that moment, she realized that the person she loved most was Zhang Xiaofan.

However, since Biyao was someone she had watched grow up from childhood, like her own daughter, Youji always addressed Zhang Xiaofan as the Vice Sect Master in order to maintain a distance.

Only when Biyao was around did she insist that she, as an elder, address Zhang Xiaofan, the vice sect leader, as Xiaofan.

Seeing You Ji perform such a grand ceremony, and gazing at her curvaceous figure, Zhang Xiaofan reached out and took You Ji's small hand in his...

He felt a smooth, warm touch, like jade, with a slightly cool sensation, and laughed:

"Youji, what kind of relationship do we have? Saying thank you is too formal!"

"Ah..." You Ji let out a soft, coquettish cry, her watery eyes looking at Zhang Xiaofan, and said:
