Is there any hope for me, who proposed to the world-destroying empress at the very beginning?

The fact that they could meet here already says a lot.

Li Huan readily nodded and smiled at the two men.

"It is indeed me. May I ask what brings you two here—"

Before he could finish speaking, another tall woman interrupted him coldly.

"Leave here, or die."

Chapter 72 The Third Best in the World (Bonus Chapter)

Li Huan raised an eyebrow, forcefully resisting the oppressive aura, and took a step forward, speaking to the two Bai Yujing assassins in front of him.

"Owes of kindness must be repaid. I, Li Huan, owe the Southern Underworld Holy Land a life, and I shall fulfill my obligation to the end."

"Although you two are Bai Yujing's top assassins, killing me won't be so easy."

……

The biting wind in the wilderness buried Li Huan's body under the yellow earth.

The two remained spotless, turned around, and continued walking in the direction Su Liang had left, as if they had never been there at all.

In the far north, atop towering snow-capped mountains.

The goddess An Mengyou stared blankly at the sea of ​​clouds before her, lost in thought. At a certain moment, a smile appeared on the lips of this high and mighty goddess.

However, the smile vanished in an instant, and she regained her original expression.

A maid in white stood behind her and bowed.

"Your Majesty, the disciples of the Celestial Masters Sect have come to request an audience once again."

The goddess An Mengyou glanced back at the maid, exhaled a breath of stale air, but uttered no sound.

The maid glanced furtively in An Mengyou's direction, and her shoulders trembled involuntarily.

An Mengyou didn't speak, but the maid felt that even breathing had become extremely difficult.

The maid quickly realized what was happening.

This is because the goddess An Mengyou dislikes seeing those people outside the snow-capped mountains.

As An Mengyou's maid, she naturally had to understand An Mengyou's meaning. The maid slowly rose, her body hunched, and began to retreat towards the edge of the snow-capped mountain.

The members of the Celestial Masters sect, who were standing outside the snow-capped mountain, hurriedly bowed and greeted the maid with smiles as she approached.

Unexpectedly, the maid's words were like a bucket of cold water, poured over the heads of several people.

"The Queen is currently in seclusion. Please wait until she emerges from seclusion before we meet again."

After saying that, the maid didn't look at the expressions of the people in front of her again, and turned back towards the snow mountain.

The several Taoist masters stood there, looking around in confusion.

The smile on her face gradually faded, replaced by confusion and surprise. The news of the Empress's journey to the capital was common knowledge within the Celestial Masters sect; in their eyes, An Mengyou's trip was inextricably linked to Su Liang.

However, no news of An Mengyou dealing with Su Liang came out, so the Celestial Masters had no choice but to come and inquire in person.

The answers they received so far were not satisfactory to any of them.

There was a Taoist master who, when the maid left, couldn't help but take a few steps forward and enter the snow mountain.

Fortunately, the Grand Elder in front of him intervened and said sternly.

"We can't act recklessly here. Since the Queen doesn't want to give us an answer, then we'll have to find one ourselves."

The eyes of several celestial masters widened instantly as they looked in the direction of the Grand Elder.

The elder's gaze was still fixed on the departing maid's figure, the vast snow-capped mountains reflecting the same aura as his expression.

A voice came from beside the elder's ear; it was the Celestial Master who had come with him, asking cautiously.

"Does the Grand Elder... intend to... take action personally?"

At a time when undercurrents are surging throughout the world.

A figure of ethereal beauty silently departed from the secluded and aloof Qinghan Palace, which seemed as if it were the moon palace in the heavens.

In search of another breakthrough in her journey to achieve Nirvana, her destination was none other than the Yunmeng Great Swamp.

Ning Zhexian, the third most powerful person in the world, is also the master of Qinghan Palace!

"Banished Immortal" is not a title, but a name. Even if he is not a celestial being who has been banished to the mortal world, he is no less than, and even surpasses, the celestial being.

First, there was her stunning beauty that would make even fairies feel ashamed of themselves; then there was her unparalleled talent and innate ability!

Even a true immortal would probably look up to him from the south.

Those who have seen Ning Zhexian are all amazed by her beauty, and countless men from all over the world travel great distances to seek an audience with her.

Unfortunately, without exception, all of them were turned away.

The worst off were even thrown out after their foundations were destroyed.

Men and dogs are not allowed to enter Qinghan Palace.

But even so—

The unattainable is always alluring, which ironically made Ning Zhexian a fairy in the hearts of men all over the world, as pure and inviolable as a snow lotus.

Indifference and disdain? That's a test of our resolve!

Ruthless and decisive? A banished immortal must always have a unique style.

Your Majesty, please proceed with the whipping of us!

Of course, the following sentence can be ignored for now.

In short, even though Ning Zhexian expressed her disgust for men so bluntly, she still gained countless fans.

This undoubtedly made her even more disgusted with the entire male population, regarding them as scum.

At the same time.

Taking advantage of the uproar caused by Su Liang, the news of Ning Zhexian's entry into the Yunmeng Great Swamp remained unknown even to the disciples of Qinghan Palace.

The other side.

After several days of siege and killing, Su Liang finally had some leisure time, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

To use the system's words, it's just despicable!

It was afternoon of that day.

Su Liang then returned to the edge of the Yunmeng Great Marsh.

Having already experienced entering the Yunmeng Great Swamp once, Su Liang naturally seemed quite familiar with it.

After a brief rest, Su Liang stepped into the Yunmeng Great Swamp.

Once Su Liang enters the Yunmeng Great Swamp, he will be able to escape the sight of all the sects in the world.

Similarly, it also escaped the control of Bai Yujing's assassins.

The two assassins silently watched his retreating figure. After a long while, a gentle breeze blew by, and he had vanished without a trace.

Deep within the Yunmeng Marshland dwells countless rare and exotic beasts, but it is also the most dangerous place.

This is a forest formed by a single tree, and it is also a forbidden area of ​​the Yunmeng Marsh.

Today, an uninvited guest arrived in the restricted area of ​​Yunmeng Daze!

For many years, no human has dared to enter the dead zone of the Yunmeng Great Swamp.

Entering the restricted area was a woman of unparalleled beauty.

The woman was tall and slender, and her long dress fit her perfectly, highlighting her stunning figure.

Unfortunately, his demeanor was too cold, and his temperament always exuded an arrogant air of looking down on the world.

Even with her stunning beauty, she remained as pure and inviolable as a celestial maiden.

The person who came was none other than Ning Zhexian, the Palace Master of Qinghan Palace, who was the third most powerful person in the world and the one that all men in the world hated the most and wanted to see the most.

Ning Zhexian stood within the restricted area and raised his hand to unleash a streak of light.

The strange beasts that were originally hiding in the shadows didn't even have time to react before they all perished at Ning Zhexian's hands.

Who exactly was Ning Zhexian?

Is it a district?

Just because there are a few strange beasts, does that mean you can spy on things at will?

The strange beasts hiding in the distance were also affected by this aura and scattered and fled.

Ning Zhexian's target was not them, so naturally she would not follow them.

She looked up at the sky above the woodland, and her voice echoed throughout the entire restricted area.

"Immortal Ning has come here specifically to ask the divine beast Phoenix in the Yunmeng Great Swamp for something."

Chapter Seventy-Three: Shocking Change, Forbidden Zone, Ten Deaths Without Survival

As the sound came, countless leaves fell from the forest floor, and the wind swirled the fallen leaves, causing them to drift to Ning Zhexian's feet.

But the figure that Ning Zhexian longed to see never appeared.

Ning Zhexian didn't care. She lightly touched the air with her slender white jade feet and flew through the air. The entire void kept repeating the same sentence.

Along with it came towering waves, which ravaged countless ferocious beasts that tried to escape!

Finally, after a series of provocations, the long cry of the Lord of White Birds echoed from the depths of the forbidden zone, and the vast sound waves rushed towards Ning Zhexian in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, a path of crimson lotus flames opened in the void, and then a figure blotted out the sky.

Noble and magnificent.

The colorful wings inspire awe.

What was most terrifying was the oppressive atmosphere, which made all the beasts around tremble and prostrate themselves on the ground.

His identity is none other than the Lord of the Forbidden Zone, the divine beast Phoenix!

The phoenix spread its wings and floated above the forest. Its phoenix eyes looked down and saw Ning Zhexian in the forest.
