Nangong Wan had always been the goddess of these fervent fans, and now that their goddess was going to marry someone else, a series of heart-wrenching sounds echoed throughout the venue.

"I could tolerate their public displays of affection before, but now they want to marry our goddess? This is simply intolerable!"

"So what if he's a little better at alchemy and a bit stronger in combat? What's so great about that? I'm firmly against him marrying my goddess!"

"Don't hold me back! He stole my goddess! I'm going to fight him!" Some of the most agitated and resentful people couldn't help but jump up, ready to fight Xiao Xuanyuan.

The scenes unfolding in the grand square naturally caught Xiao Xuanyuan's eye. He knew some male alchemists were dissatisfied, but that was nothing, a trivial matter. He scanned the entire area and roared, "Han Li, I heard you sneaked into Luoyun Palace and pried open the windows while I was away. Is that true? Han Li, you brat, step forward!"

Upon hearing this loud shout, everyone's gaze turned in one direction. The young alchemist named Han Li was immediately isolated, with everyone around him distancing themselves from him.

Chapter Fifteen: Killing Han Li, the Lord of the Otherworldly Samsara Palace

As the crowd dispersed, a young man in his early twenties with an ordinary appearance and slightly dark skin, who would be extremely inconspicuous in a crowd, immediately came into Xiao Xuanyuan's sight in the main square!

He was dressed in a medicinal robe, with four striking silver waves running across a medicine cauldron on his left chest, indicating he was a fourth-grade alchemist.

Given Han Li's cautious nature, he made a move to retreat behind the crowd, but wherever he retreated, people avoided him as if he were a plague god, trying to stay away from him at all costs.

Now, he had nowhere to hide or avoid, and was completely exposed to everyone's sight.

Helpless, Han Li knew that he was probably doomed this time, so he calmly looked at Xiao Xuanyuan on the high platform and stared at him quietly.

Xiao Xuanyuan's figure rose into the air like a god, flying towards Han Li, who was isolated in the large square, and then the general arrived in front of him.

"Han Li, did you sneak out of my master's window in the middle of the night?"

Xiao Xuanyuan's brows were furrowed, naturally exuding the imposing aura of a powerful figure.

Han Li respectfully cupped his hands and bowed, "Elder Xiao, this is a misunderstanding. I just happened to be passing by that day and had no intention of coveting it!"

"A fourth-grade alchemist with the strength of a three-star Dou Wang, you're quite good. If we're talking about cultivation systems, you're already at the Foundation Establishment stage, having entered the ranks of true powerhouses on the Dou Qi Continent." Xiao Xuanyuan looked the ordinary-looking, unremarkable young man in front of him up and down, and nodded slightly, indicating his approval.

At this moment, Nangong Wan also transformed her fighting spirit into wings, instantly spreading them to Xiao Xuanyuan's side. She naturally and affectionately took his arm, asking, "Xuanyuan, what are you doing?"

"What am I doing? I'm teaching this despicable guy a lesson. How dare he take advantage of you! I won't be able to quell my anger until I teach him a lesson today!" Xiao Xuanyuan glanced at Nangong Wan, then looked at Han Li, a look of anger on his face.

Seeing that things were not going well, Han Li unfolded his battle qi wings and tried to escape immediately. However, as soon as he took to the sky, Xiao Xuanyuan stretched out a hand and grabbed him. The surrounding space was locked, and Han Li, who had unfolded his battle qi wings and was in a flying upward posture, was unable to move at all.

"Let me see what kind of monster you are?" A faint purple glint flashed from the depths of Xiao Xuanyuan's eyes, and a faint, rhomboid purple vertical eye appeared in the center of his forehead, instantly scanning Han Li's entire body as if an infrared detector had been activated. Nothing, not even bones or internal organs, could escape Xiao Xuanyuan's discerning eye, and a piece of information appeared in his mind.

Han Li comes from another world, having reincarnated and undergone trials. His true identity is the Lord of the Samsara Palace, possessing the power to control the rules of reincarnation, though he has not yet awakened it!

"Holy crap, what the hell?!" Upon seeing such a long message, Xiao Xuanyuan was startled, his face extremely horrified, as if he had seen a ghost, and he almost let go of Nangong Wan.

"Xuanyuan, what's wrong?" Seeing Xiao Xuanyuan's shocked expression, Nangong Wan tugged at his arm, full of curiosity.

"It's nothing, Master, I just encountered a ghost!" Xiao Xuanyuan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Had this world gone mad, or was he hallucinating? Even the Lord of the Samsara Palace from another world had come. That was a terrifying existence who would control the power of the Samsara Rules in the future. How could he, a mere ant at the peak of the First Stage Dou Zun, possibly deal with him!

"No, I have to keep this kid with me and study him. I can't let him get away!" With these thoughts running through his mind, Xiao Xuanyuan made a decision: to capture Han Li, the reincarnation master from another world.

"Han Li, you are suspected of peeping, coveting, and almost defiling my fiancée. Your crimes are unforgivable. I will cripple your cultivation!" With a single grab, Han Li, a three-star Dou Wang, revealed a look of terror and despair in his eyes. His Dou Qi was continuously absorbed by Xiao Xuanyuan like a tide, condensing in mid-air into a black and white Dou Qi ball wrapped in pale golden flames.

"I didn't mean it. Please, Elder Xiao, spare my life! Forgive my dog's life and my hard-won, meager cultivation!"

Although he still carries the memories from before his reincarnation, the difference between a three-star Dou Wang realm and the peak of a first-stage Dou Zun realm is like heaven and earth. No matter how powerful his magic and cultivation are, they cannot be brought into play without the support of strength. Han Li, a great figure in the realm of Da Luo, can only be slaughtered at will.

Han Li's face contorted in pain as all of his Reincarnation Battle Qi was drained. His cultivation level plummeted from a three-star Dou Wang to a two-star Dou Wang, then a one-star Dou Wang, a nine-star Dou Ling, a nine-star Great Dou Master, and finally a nine-star Dou Master.

After falling to the level of a nine-star Great Dou Master, the Dou Qi wings on Han Li's back automatically disappeared.

Seeing this, Nangong Wan was also startled. She pulled Xiao Xuanyuan with a look of pity, "Xuanyuan, isn't this going too far? Let's let it go this time."

"No, he's only a three-star Dou Wang, yet he dares to covet you like this. I'm not at ease. What if he doesn't die one day and reincarnates into some kind of Time Dao Ancestor or Time Controller? How could I possibly defeat him? That kind of existence is too terrifying. Just thinking about it sends chills down my spine."

Seeing Nangong Wan plead for mercy, Xiao Xuanyuan felt a pang of sympathy, but on such a matter of principle, he was absolutely unwilling to back down. The terrifying power within him continued to draw upon Han Li's black and white reincarnation Dou Qi, pushing him from the nine-star Dou Zhe realm to the eight-star Dou Zhe realm, then to the one-star Dou Zhe realm, and finally to the ninth level of Dou Qi.

In the end, Han Li's last bit of fighting spirit was completely extracted. Xiao Xuanyuan struck Han Li with a palm, destroying his dantian, qi sea, meridians, and foundation. From then on, he would never be able to cultivate again and would become a cripple!

Ah!

Han Li let out a miserable scream, unable to accept such a cruel blow, and completely fainted. The black and white Reincarnation Battle Qi ball floating in mid-air was taken by Xiao Xuanyuan and put into his ring.

"Dude, don't blame me. Blame yourself for jumping to another realm. You're the master of the Samsara Palace from another world, a top expert at the Great Luo realm, yet you come to the Dou Qi Continent to reincarnate and even try to steal my woman. That's your fault!" Xiao Xuanyuan thought to himself.

Seeing that the Lord of the Samsara Palace, who had come from another world to experience life and undergo trials, had crippled him, Xiao Xuanyuan felt a little relieved. The majestic and terrifying aura continued to descend like the heavens and earth, enveloping everyone present. His voice was indifferent, yet it carried a chilling coldness.

"Anyone who dares to covet, spy on, or attempt to defile my master, like this boy Han Li, I will surely absorb his fighting spirit and cultivation, destroy his foundation, and make him a cripple forever! And kill him!"

A wisp of pale golden flame drifted from Xiao Xuanyuan's palm, instantly enveloping Han Li, the Lord of the Samsara Palace in this other world. After a scream, Han Li turned into a wisp of dust and vanished. A soul shining with golden light was about to escape, but Xiao Xuanyuan reached out and grabbed it, locking it with space. The soul cage instantly condensed and pulled it back into the ring, where it went to join Yao Lao's family.

Chapter Sixteen: The Invisible Threads of Heavenly Dao

Seeing Xiao Xuanyuan's swift and decisive actions, instantly and mercilessly killing a three-star Dou Wang realm, fourth-grade alchemist and imprisoning his soul, the entire plaza fell silent. The gazes directed at Xiao Xuanyuan were filled with fear and deep apprehension!

Dragons have scales that cannot be touched; touch them and you will be killed! This is probably Xiao Xuanyuan's bottom line!

Even if he usually appears approachable, kind, and gentle, without any airs, he can still kill a woman the moment she offends him, just like he did now.

Presumably, after this incident, no one in the Alchemy Valley will dare to mess with Nan Gongwan again, because this number one war god of the academy is a pure killing god. He shows no mercy and is swift and decisive, killing without hesitation! He has completely intimidated those villains!

Although she knew that Xiao Xuanyuan cared about her, Nangong Wan couldn't help but feel a little resentful at his ruthless actions. She reached out and pinched the soft flesh on his waist hard, causing Xiao Xuanyuan to grimace and his face to contort in pain, but he didn't utter a sound.

"Kill her if you want, do whatever you want, I'm not taking the bait!" But he tightened his grip on Nangong Wan's arm.

Seeing that this guy was silently enduring it, Nangong Wan snorted softly and let him be.

At this moment, everyone in the entire square was stunned. For a moment, there was complete silence; you could hear a pin drop. The Valley Master Zhang Cangwu and the others who had wanted to stop them had to slowly retract their steps after Xiao Xuanyuan gave them a fierce glare.

There was no way around it; Xiao Xuanyuan was simply too powerful. He was now the academy's number one war god. If he really wanted to kill someone, probably no one present could stop him. Moreover, even the academy's twenty-odd strongest elders working together were no match for him. How could they possibly be his opponent?

This is the majesty and awe-inspiring power brought about by Xiao Xuanyuan's formidable strength! In the Dou Qi Continent, everything is respected by the strong!

Seeing that Nangong Wan was still sulking, Xiao Xuanyuan smiled, took her hand, and soared into the air, flying away. Only his voice echoed throughout the large square, "Alright, this matter is now settled. Three days later, between Luoyun Palace and Nangong Wan, my master and I will be married. Everyone is welcome to come and drink the wedding wine. If you don't come, it will be disrespectful to me, and you will see what the consequences will be. Valley Master and elders, you will urge them to do so."

His voice was extremely indifferent, yet it possessed immense authority and intimidation, causing an irresistible feeling to rise in the hearts of everyone present. At the same time, their respect and admiration for Xiao Xuanyuan grew even stronger. Only the strong deserve respect!

Having just returned to Luoyun Palace with Nangong Wan, she returned to her own palace in a somewhat sullen mood. Lying on her spacious couch, she ignored Xiao Xuanyuan, leaving him bewildered. Xiao Xuanyuan could only stay by her side and lie down next to her, hugging her from behind.

"What's wrong, my dear Master? Who upset you again?" Xiao Xuanyuan coaxed.

Nangong Wan still ignored him, her back turned, which made Xiao Xuanyuan scratch his head and gently touch her little belly. "I say, auntie, you've hit me and scolded me, what do you want from me? You're always like a silent, repressed person. Say something!"

Nangong Wan remained silent, still turning her back to him and ignoring him.

"Alright, alright, if you won't pay attention to me, I'll provoke you until you do." Xiao Xuanyuan grinned mischievously, stretched out his leg, flipped over and straddled her, forcefully twisting her around until he finally managed to turn her around.

But the scene before him left Xiao Xuanyuan dumbfounded. Nangong Wan's eyes were red, as if she had just been crying and was secretly grieving. Seeing this, Xiao Xuanyuan stopped his fuss and felt a pang of heartache. He quickly reached out and pulled her tightly into his arms, gently stroking her back. "What's wrong, Master? What made you so unhappy?"

"It's all your fault, you brat! Waaah!" Nangong Wan punched Xiao Xuanyuan's chest repeatedly with her small fists, making loud "bang bang" sounds. The force was extraordinary, almost knocking Xiao Xuanyuan out of his wits. However, he gritted his teeth and endured it. "Hit me, hit me, as long as I vent, it'll be fine. Otherwise, I'll have a knot in my heart," Xiao Xuanyuan thought to himself.

"Why are you blaming me? How did I make you cry again?" Xiao Xuanyuan was conflicted. He felt sorry for his precious master, but he didn't know what had happened.

"Who ordered the murder? I didn't order you to kill anyone, why did you kill him? Why?" Nangong Wan complained incessantly, her little pink toy pounding so hard that Xiao Xuanyuan almost vomited blood.

"He tried to take you away from me. If I don't kill him, who will I kill? If anyone tries to take you away from me in the future, I'll kill them all, even if it's the Heavenly King himself! No matter who the Lord of Samsara Palace is, the Time Dao Ancestor, or the Space Ancestor is, I'll kill them all!" Xiao Xuanyuan's face was gloomy, with a resolute ruthlessness in his eyes. But then he thought about it again and realized what he was talking about. The Lord of Samsara Palace was already dead, so what was the Time Dao Ancestor Han Li?

That Lord of Samsara is really something. You spent a lot of magical power to train in the Dou Qi Continent, fine, but why did you have to mess with Xiao Xuanyuan's fiancée? Isn't that just courting death? I don't care what you're got, I'll kill you first. Stealing my Xiao Xuanyuan's woman, even if the Lord of Samsara came, it wouldn't be of any use.

"But...but..." Nangong Wan looked conflicted and stopped sobbing.

Xiao Xuanyuan sighed helplessly, reached out and brushed the strands of hair from her forehead, wiping away the tears on her cheeks. "Just tell me what's on your mind. What else do you have to hide from me?"

"Hmm," Nangong Wan nodded gently, then hesitated before speaking, "I don't know why, but after you killed Han Li, I felt a pang of pain in my heart, as if I had lost something. I felt very sad, a very deep sadness."

"Wow, is that even possible?!" Xiao Xuanyuan jolted awake, sitting bolt upright in bed. He looked up at the top of the palace, his gaze seemingly piercing through to the heavens, reaching the endless void and the primordial chaos above.

He murmured to himself, "Could this be the elusive cycle of Heaven's Way? Or the ever-present cause and effect, the cycle of karma?" Xiao Xuanyuan rested his chin on his hand, lost in thought.

Seeing Xiao Xuanyuan's series of strange actions, Nangong Wan was also full of doubt. She hugged Xiao Xuanyuan from behind and rested her head on his shoulder, "What's wrong? Is something amiss?"

"I may have crossed an invisible line of the Heavenly Dao," Xiao Xuanyuan said slowly, his voice extremely uncertain.

Chapter Seventeen: A Joyous Event in the Alchemy Valley - Nangong Wan's Marriage

"An invisible thread of the Heavenly Dao?!"

Nangong Wan looked puzzled and reached out to touch Xiao Xuanyuan's forehead. "You don't have a fever? Why do you keep saying such nonsense?"

Xiao Xuanyuan couldn't help but roll his eyes, then flipped over and pinned Nangong Wan down, his face full of malice. "I have a fever now, I'm going to eat you up."

"Hehe, I don't want to," Nangong Wan giggled and dodged away.

"You think you can just say no? I'm going to punish you right here and now!" Xiao Xuanyuan pounced on Nangong Wan like a hungry tiger, reaching out to grab her wrist tightly and staring into her eyes.

"You brat, if you keep fooling around, I'm going to give you a good slap!" Nangong Wan glared fiercely, her coy and alluring demeanor almost stealing Xiao Xuanyuan's soul.

"Fine, I'll whip you until you're dead, I'll bring you to justice today." Xiao Xuanyuan hardened his heart, his neck stiffened, and he refused to back down.

"You brat, are you going to let go or not?" Nangong Wan's beautiful face turned red with anger, and she struggled to break free from Xiao Xuanyuan's iron grip.

"I won't let go, I'd rather die than let go!" Xiao Xuanyuan continued, his neck stiff and his face unyielding.

Seeing Xiao Xuanyuan's firm stance, Nangong Wan felt a little flustered and began to speak softly, "Good disciple, good disciple, please let go of your master, okay?"

"Why should I let her go? I won't!" Seeing Nangong Wan give in, Xiao Xuanyuan looked smug and a smile appeared on his lips.

"Hmph, you'll be climbing on the roof if you're not disciplined for three days. I don't believe I can't teach you a lesson!" Nangong Wan snorted coldly and continued to struggle.

"Come on, hit me! I'm not afraid of you!" Xiao Xuanyuan continued to gloat, his face beaming with pride. His smug look made Nangong Wan's teeth itch; she wished she could beat this little brat to death right now.

But joy turned to sorrow. Nangong Wan kicked him, freeing him. Then, Nangong Wan flipped onto her horse, pinning Xiao Xuanyuan beneath her. Her face was fierce and menacing. "You think I'm a pushover just because I haven't shown my power? Huh?"

As she spoke, Nangong Wan angrily raised her hand, about to slap Xiao Xuanyuan hard across the face.

"Ouch, Master, what are you doing?" Xiao Xuanyuan shrank back and covered his head with his hand, blocking the powerful slap that made his arm ache.

"You actually tried to block me with your hands? Get out of my way, or I'll beat you to death, you traitor!" Nangong Wan was still not satisfied and tried to pry Xiao Xuanyuan's arm away so she could slap his face.

"Master, please don't hit my face! Please don't hit my face!"

From afar, Xiao Xuanyuan's pitiful howls could be heard from inside the palace.

Three days later, the entire Alchemy Valley was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, all in a festive red hue. Doors and windows were adorned with double happiness stickers and auspicious dragon and phoenix designs, and large red lanterns hung from the eaves of every house. In preparation for the wedding, Xiao Xuanyuan had given the Valley Master Zhang Cangwu and the other three elders a strict order: everyone had to be mobilized and the place decorated in a festive red hue.

The alchemist disciples of the Alchemy Valley were also very accommodating, each of them voluntarily putting up wedding invitations and hanging big red lanterns at home. In particular, the members of the Medicine Alliance were extremely proactive, spreading out everywhere to distribute wedding candies from house to house, trying to make sure that every family received some.
