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

"Then you will die!"

Shangguan Ce spoke calmly, raised his right palm, and with a chilling aura emanating from it, he slammed it down hard on Yan Hong's head!
Even with her eyes closed, Yan Hong could feel the chilling aura emanating from the woman. As death approached, her curvaceous body trembled violently!
Breathe!
Two breaths!

Three breaths have passed.

Yan Hong discovered that there was no sensation of being slapped on the head, nor did she feel any pain!

Could it be... could it be that I was killed instantly by Uncle-Master Shangguan's palm strike, which is why I didn't feel any pain...?

No, no, could it be that someone saved me?

who can that be?

Filled with doubt, Yan Hong opened her eyes instantly.

A tall figure came into view, with long, blood-red hair flying in the wind...

Zhang Xiaofan, it was Zhang Xiaofan who saved me...

At this moment, Yan Hong was thrilled. Looking at the figure in front of her, she felt that he was as tall as a mountain, which made her feel extremely at ease!

This was a sense of security she had never experienced before in her life.

Zhang Xiaofan turned around, reached out and touched Yan Hong's head, smiling as he asked with concern:
"Are you scared?"

Yan Hong met Zhang Xiaofan's smile, nodded, then quickly shook her head, and said:
"I was indeed scared, but with you here, I'm not afraid anymore."

Shangguan Ce stood a dozen meters away from Zhang Xiaofan, his right hand trembling violently beside him.

He was about to kill Yan Hong with a single palm strike when Zhang Xiaofan suddenly attacked, sending him flying back more than ten meters before he could regain his footing.

At that moment, he felt excruciating pain throughout his arm, and even his internal energy was in disarray...

Shangguan Ce stared at Zhang Xiaofan with apprehension. He knew Zhang Xiaofan was strong, but he didn't expect him to be this strong.

It seems this kid has already made a name for himself.

He hated that when Zhang Xiaofan broke into Fenxiang Valley at night, although he noticed that there were enemies invading the front valley, he did not rush to capture Zhang Xiaofan with the Fenxiang Valley disciples in order to guard the Xuanhuo Altar.

If he had gone with them then, he would have been able to keep Zhang Xiaofan in the valley.

It's not that bad; he was knocked back by Zhang Xiaofan's palm strike.

Since they couldn't win by force, they could only win by morality. So, pointing angrily at Zhang Xiaofan with his left hand, he said:
"Zhang Xiaofan, my Burning Incense Valley is punishing its disciple Yan Hong, this rebellious disciple. Do you also want to interfere?"

Zhang Xiaofan turned around, his sharp eyes fixed on Shangguan Ce, and said calmly:

“I don’t care if you punish other people, but Yan Hong is my friend, so I have to take responsibility for her.”

"Yan Hong, I'm committed!"

"Crack...crack...crack..." Shangguan Ce was furious as he listened to Zhang Xiaofan's words.

For centuries, he has been highly respected wherever he went.

But now, he was extremely angry because of the repeated disrespect shown to him by Zhang Xiaofan, a junior.

He wanted to kill Zhang Xiaofan with one palm strike, but he couldn't defeat him.

Helpless, he could only clench his fists tightly in anger, making a cracking sound.

Shangguan Ce glared at Zhang Xiaofan, having exhausted all his options, and then turned his gaze to Yun Yilan.

Yun Yilan, always one for tricks, immediately fixed his gaze on Yan Hong and said coldly:

"Yan Hong, Fenxiang Valley raised you, I took you as my disciple and taught you the Dao, is this how you repay Fenxiang Valley and your master?"

"Get over here right now!"

After Yun Yilan finished speaking, he thought to himself that once Yan Hong arrived, he would kill her with his bare hands.

At this moment, he was surrounded by numerous disciples of the Incense Valley, and even if Zhang Xiaofan wanted to save her, he couldn't do so immediately. Anyone who disobeyed Yun Yilan had to die, even his disciple.

Of course, if it were Li Xun, he wouldn't execute him.

After all, Li Xun was his most prized disciple and was already the next Valley Master.

Upon hearing this, Yan Hong looked towards Li Xun in the distance.

Throughout the entire Incense Valley, only Li Xun truly cared about her and treated her like a younger sister.

Li Xun felt Yan Hong's seeking gaze. He knew his master, Yun Yilan, very well. Yun Yilan was narrow-minded and ruthless. If his junior sister, Yan Hong, came over, she would likely be killed by his palm.

Therefore, the only way for Junior Sister to survive is to leave Burning Incense Valley and live under Zhang Xiaofan's protection.

So, Li Xun looked at Yan Hong and said coldly:

"Yan Hong, you traitor of Fenxiang Valley, how dare you return to Fenxiang Valley? When you get back, I will definitely kill you with one palm."

“From this day forward, I, Li Xun, will pretend that you are no longer my junior sister, and that you are no longer my disciple in the entire Burning Incense Valley.”

Upon hearing Li Xun's words, Yun Yilan instantly grasped their meaning, turned around and glared fiercely at Li Xun, letting out an angry snort.

Zhang Xiaofan glanced at Li Xun and thought to himself that although this man was arrogant, he was indeed quite good to Yan Hong.

When Yan Hong first went down the mountain for training, she felt extremely sorry for her junior sister in the Dripping Blood Cave, and she would rather get injured herself than let Yan Hong get hurt.

In this respect, Zhang Xiaofan felt that Li Xun was still a man!
Arrogant, but responsible!
After listening to Li Xun's words, Yan Hong knelt down before Yun Yilan and kowtowed three times. Her beautiful face was resolute, and she said in a strong and clear voice:
“Master, you just had Uncle Shangguan kill me with a single palm strike, which shows that I, Yan Hong, hold no weight in your heart and can be killed at any time.”

"After I kowtow to you three times today, from this moment on, I, Yan Hong, sever all ties with Fenxiang Valley. I, Yan Hong, will no longer be a member of Fenxiang Valley."

After saying that, Yan Hong stood up and stood next to Zhang Xiaofan.

As Yun Yilan listened to Yan Hong's words, she glanced at the cultivators around her and felt a burning pain in her cheeks.

How dare a mere disciple defy Yun Yilan and escape from Fenxiang Valley in public?

Yun Yilan suddenly shouted, "!"
"Disciples of Burning Incense Valley, listen to my command! Immediately surround and attack Zhang Xiaofan, and execute Zhang Xiaofan and Yan Hong, that adulterous couple, on the spot!"

"Yes, I will obey the Valley Master's orders..."

Hundreds of disciples responded simultaneously, drew their immortal swords from their waists, formed a battle formation, and slowly moved towards Zhang Xiaofan.

Seeing this, Yan Hong was worried about Zhang Xiaofan's safety.

After all, Zhang Xiaofan is still the Vice Sect Master Ghost Emperor of the Ghost King Sect of the Demonic Cult. It's likely that the Qingyun Sect wouldn't make an enemy of the Incense Valley, one of the three major righteous sects, for the sake of the Ghost Emperor.

So Yan Hong immediately said:

"Yun Yilan, this matter started because of me, I alone... um..."

Suddenly, a large hand covered Yan Hong's small mouth, and a deep voice rang out:
"Yan Hong, don't worry. Even if it's the entire Burning Incense Valley, I'll protect you!"

As Yan Hong listened to Zhang Xiaofan's words, two lines of clear tears rolled down her cheeks; they were tears of emotion.

Yun Yilan wants to kill her; the only person in the entire Burning Incense Valley who wants to kill her is her senior brother Li Xun.

In order to save her, Zhang Xiaofan actually chose to fight against the entire behemoth that is Burning Incense Valley all by himself!

The man Yan Hong loved was indeed worthy!

Before Yun Yilan said she would be executed, Yan Hong felt that falling in love with Zhang Xiaofan was a mistake, and that she was sorry to Fenxiang Valley and her master Yun Yilan.

Now, Yun Yilan wants to kill her, the entire Burning Incense Valley wants to kill her. But Zhang Xiaofan wants to save her.

At this moment, Yan Hong felt that the best thing she had ever done in her life was to fall in love with Zhang Xiaofan.
