Martial arts have become extinct worldwide, yet I am forced to have a large family.

"You...you know I've been framed?"

Zhou Xiyan was completely stunned.

The things Yang Xian mentioned were indeed done by her.

She had also considered following the rules, suing the government, and seeking justice.

But all she saw was officials protecting each other, and the grievances of the common people sinking into oblivion forever.

Left with no other choice, she had to use her sword to carry out unconventional methods and to punish injustice.

She doesn't care about being misunderstood or being labeled a "female demon".

But she didn't understand.

Why would the man who killed her entire family defend her in front of the whole world?

"That's utter nonsense!"

Elder Sun finally caught his breath and sternly interrupted Yang Xian.

He pointed at Yang Xian, his face filled with grief and indignation, and shouted to the crowd around him:

"Ladies and gentlemen! You've all seen it!"

"Our Alliance Leader Yang has been bewitched by this witch's sorcery and can no longer distinguish right from wrong!"

"What he said was nothing but lies that the witch fed to him to absolve herself of guilt!"

This female demon must die today!

If she doesn't die...

Who among those aristocratic executives would dare to send money to the Heavenly Alliance in the future?

How can the so-called "right path" be maintained?

We must not let the Righteous Alliance be ruined by this pawn!

Elder Sun suddenly waved his hand, his voice carrying with it internal energy, echoing throughout the entire venue!

"I hereby declare in the name of the Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Dao Alliance!"

"Yang Xian colluded with a demoness, betraying the righteous path; his crime is unforgivable!"

"From this moment forward, his position as leader of the alliance is hereby abolished!"

These words caused another stir among the audience!

Elder Sun continued speaking.

"All disciples of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, heed my command!"

"These two are now public enemies of our righteous path!"

"Whoever can sever the heads of the demoness Zhou Xiyan and the traitor Yang Xian... will be the next leader of my Heavenly Dao Alliance!"

The position of leader!

That is the highest honor in the martial arts world!

Elder Sun's words ignited the greed and ambition in everyone present.

Does it even matter whether something is good or evil?

What is the truth, and who cares?

They only want the benefits!

All they want is the position of alliance leader!

In an instant, thousands of eyes filled with murderous intent and greed locked onto the man and woman.

"That old man, he's quite good at stirring up people's emotions."

Yang Xian remained completely unmoved and paid no attention whatsoever.

You can never convince a group of people who are pretending to be asleep with just words.

What other people think is actually irrelevant.

Everything he just did was just an act for Zhou Xiyan.

Building a good impression is more likely to help resolve misunderstandings later.

Next, as long as we fight our way out with her and slowly uncover the so-called "truth," we should be able to get a "Happy Ending" in this life's test.

"I'm sorry."

He said something softly, and to Zhou Xiyan's astonishment, he picked her up in his arms.

The girl's body was very light, but she trembled slightly due to her injuries. Even through her torn clothes, one could feel the softness of her body.

"Don't waste time! Attack together! Kill them!"

Upon seeing this, Elder Sun let out a hysterical roar.

"kill!"

The nearest dozens of elite disciples of the Heavenly Dao Alliance roared, drew their swords, and transformed into figures, rushing forward from all directions!

Yang Xian held Zhou Xiyan firmly with one hand, while casually waving his other hand forward.

boom--!

An even more solid cold current than before erupted from him!

The dozens of disciples at the forefront were struck head-on by an irresistible force before they even had time to defend themselves!

One by one, they coughed up blood and flew backward, knocking over a large number of their companions along the way.

The buildings on both sides of the street collapsed with a crash as they were swept by the aftershocks of the palm strike!

Smoke and dust filled the sky!

With just one palm strike, a huge open space was cleared.

Yang Xian's footwork shifted, his figure flickering like a ghost.

"The Enchanting Steps of a Startling Beauty"!

In everyone's eyes, his figure only blurred for a moment, and the next moment, he appeared dozens of meters away, at the edge of the rioting crowd.

"ah--!"

The people screamed and scattered in terror, afraid of being caught up in this battle of the gods.

However, Yang Xian's escape route was blocked by several figures.

Those were elders and sect leaders from other sects who rushed over upon hearing the news.

"Alliance Leader Yang, how have you been?"

"Yang Xian! Do you even know what you're doing?"

"Believing in a demoness? You're making an enemy of the entire world!"

"Alliance Leader Yang, turn back before it's too late! Don't ruin your future for a mere vixen!"

Voices of persuasion and questioning rose and fell.

Zhou Xiyan, nestled in Yang Xian's arms, watched him being condemned by everyone, and a feeling of indescribable bitterness and helplessness welled up in her heart.

She bit her pale lips and weakly said, "Don't worry about me... Go on your own..."

"If you're hurt, just shut up."

Yang Xian glanced down at her, his tone calm yet assertive.

Zhou Xiyan was taken aback and actually shut her mouth.

Then, Yang Xian raised his head, his gaze sweeping over the familiar faces before him, his eyes full of mockery.

"First of all, I'm no longer some damn alliance leader."

"Secondly, I know exactly what I'm doing. I'm saving a good person, a good person who deserves the word 'chivalry' more than all of you!"

"at last……"

His voice suddenly rose, his gaze sharpened, and he exuded an arrogant air of looking down on the world.

"If what you call the 'right path' is framing loyal and virtuous people, distorting the truth, and colluding with a bunch of scum and degenerates!"

"Then I'd rather not stay in this Righteous Path Alliance!"

"Let's get started!"

After saying that, he stopped talking and took a step forward!

Everyone was stunned.

The usually calm and composed Alliance Leader Yang would utter such outrageous words for the sake of a woman!

"Stop him!"

"Take down those two devils!"

Everyone who was blocking Yang Xian's way moved.

The clash of swords, the gusts of wind from palms and the force of fists poured down on Yang Xian from all directions like a storm!

However, in Yang Xian's eyes, these attacks were like clay chickens and earthenware dogs.

He held Zhou Xiyan in his arms, his figure moving leisurely through the impenetrable network of attacks, without a single leaf touching him.

Occasionally, a single palm strike would send several people flying backward with screams.

With a casual flick of the finger, sword energy pierced through the enemy's weapon.

He didn't even draw his sword.

In just a short while, a huge gap was torn open in the so-called encirclement.

Yang Xian's figure flickered a few times and then completely disappeared at the edge of the city.

All that remained was a scene of utter devastation and the horrified cries of the city's inhabitants.

"He's possessed by a demon!"

"Alliance Leader Yang has fallen to demonic possession!"

"It's over! The world's number one martial arts master has become a demon, the entire martial arts world..."

"This is going to be chaos!"
