Zongwu: Storytelling makes you stronger, and female knights compete to be maids

"That is - to snatch the bride, to snatch the fiancée of Jinyu King Xiao Ruojin!"

"But at that time, Luo Qingyang wasn't yet the Lone Sword Immortal, Ye Dingzhi hadn't yet become the leader of the Demon Cult, and Baili Dongjun wasn't the future world-famous Lord of Snow Moon City."

"They were just three hot-blooded teenagers who made such a rash decision in the heat of the moment. It was only natural that they would end in failure."

"Yi Wenjun was eventually forced to marry Jinyu Prince Xiao Ruojin. After Xiao Ruojin ascended the throne, she became Beili's Consort Xuan."

"At the same time, she also gave birth to a son for Xiao Ruojin, who is now the Seventh Prince of Beili - Red King Xiao Yu."

Chapter 71: Unable to Escape the Evil Hands

"That was the first time Luo Qingyang felt his own powerlessness. His sword was ultimately unable to protect the one he loved."

"Tianqi City is an awe-inspiring city. Even if Luo Qingyang becomes a master of swordsmanship in the future, he can only watch from outside the city and cannot get close to it."

"Later, the Heavenly Demon Sect took action and, with the help of an insider lurking in Tianqi City, successfully helped Yi Wenjun escape."

"Ye Dingzhi and Yi Wenjun reunited, and from then on, they made a lifelong promise and gave birth to a son, who turned out to be the Young Master of the Demon Cult - Ye Anshi."

"Luo Qingyang naturally knew about this, but he was once again powerless because he was no match for Ye Dingzhi."

"He can only continue to sharpen his sword day after day in Muliang City."

"In this way, Yi Wenjun and Ye Dingzhi spent three happy years together."

"Later, Yi Wenjun heard that the Red King Xiao Yu was seriously ill. He was worried and returned to Tianqi City again."

"At that time, Xiao Ruojin had already ascended the throne as the Emperor of Beili. He knew of Yi Wenjun's affair with Ye Dingzhi, but he didn't punish her. He simply placed her under house arrest in the palace and ordered her to be strictly guarded."

"However, due to Yi Wenjun's departure, Ye Dingzhi completely embarked on the evil path."

"He returned to the Heaven Beyond Heaven, killed the old Demon Cult leader, and led the Heaven Beyond Heaven Demon Cult army to attack Beili, just to recapture Yi Wenjun."

“At the same time, the Lone Sword Immortal Luo Qingyang also swung his sword to get rid of Mu Liang and broke into Tianqi City alone.”

"Taking advantage of Ye Dingzhi attracting everyone's attention, he sneaked into the palace and successfully rescued the imprisoned Consort Xuan, Yi Wenjun."

"But what he did was nothing more than running around and serving Ye Dingzhi."

"As for what happened afterwards, my fellow martial artists should all be familiar with it."

"Ye Dingzhi led his men to attack the Qingyun Terrace in the Imperial City, but was stopped by Baili Dongjun at the last moment and escorted by him to escape from Tianqi."

"As he reached the outskirts of Hanshan Temple, he encountered a thunder array set up by the Jiangnan Thunderbolt Hall. Countless fire bombs were launched at once, severely injuring him."

"Li Hanyi and seven other peerless masters immediately surrounded and attacked, working together to encircle and suppress Ye Dingzhi."

"After that, the rumor circulating in the martial arts world was that Ye Dingzhi was eventually killed by these seven people."

"That's not the case."

"Even if Ye Dingzhi was already at the end of his strength at that time, he was no match for an ordinary master."

"What's more, Luo Qingyang has come with Yi Wenjun to support us."

"Bai Lidongjun, Luo Qingyang and others had already laid out a retreat route for Ye Dingzhi."

"We could have let him and Yi Wenjun go far away."

"But he ultimately chose to give up and resolutely face death."

……

As Su Chen finished speaking, there was another round of exclamations in the hall.

All the secrets of the Demon Cult's Eastern Expedition are now coming to light one by one.

It turned out that Yi Wenjun had escaped from the palace and lived with Ye Dingzhi for three years. The young master of the Demon Sect, Ye Anshi, was the son of the two.

It turns out that Ye Dingzhi did not die at the hands of Li Hanyi and others, but committed suicide.

Only then did everyone realize that the Snow Moon City Lord Baili Dongjun and Ye Dingzhi were sworn brothers.

When the young man Ye Dingzhi wanted to take Yi Wenjun back from the Jinyu Palace, Baili Dongjun helped him with all his might.

Later, when the leader of the Demon Cult, Ye Dingzhi, came to Qingyuntai, it was Baili Dongjun who helped him escape from Tianqi City.

He even arranged a retreat for him, helping him and Yi Wenjun to escape safely.

As for Luo Qingyang, he made everyone shocked.

How could this legendary Lone Sword Immortal Luo Qingyang be anything aloof and arrogant? He was clearly a complete spare tire!

Yi Wenjun first married the Beili Emperor Xiao Ruojin and gave birth to the Red Prince Xiao Yu.

Later, she married the leader of the Demon Cult, Ye Dingzhi, and gave birth to the young master Ye Anshi.

From beginning to end, Luo Qingyang never truly owned her.

But he always followed.

First, he helped Ye Dingzhi to snatch the bride.

Then he helped Ye Dingzhi rescue Yi Wenjun from the imperial city.

In the end, he still planned a retreat for him and provided him with protection.

This kind of loyalty has long surpassed the word "spare tire" and can be called the "most loyal dog". He devotes his life to the cause but gets nothing in return.

What puzzled everyone the most was Ye Dingzhi's final choice.

He could have taken Yi Wenjun with him and left the world, so why did he choose to end his life?

For a moment, everyone in the hall started discussing:

"...I didn't expect that Baili Dongjun and Ye Dingzhi were actually close friends. Then why did he want to hurt him?"

"This isn't hard to understand, right? Baili Dongjun has his own concerns. He can't just stand on Ye Dingzhi's side openly, so he has to put on some facade."

"Luo Qingyang, Ye Dingzhi, and Baili Dongjun are too crazy. They robbed brides when they were young, and when they were middle-aged, they even rushed into Tianqi City, just for a woman."

"After listening to the whole process, I felt that Yi Wenjun never really liked Luo Qingyang."

"Isn't it obvious? Yi Wenjun is with Xiao Ruojin, but her heart belongs to Ye Dingzhi. As for Luo Qingyang, he is a complete spare tire!"

"Luo Qingyang is so pitiful. He couldn't do anything to his two rivals, and he had to help Ye Dingzhi to facilitate his marriage with Yi Wenjun, but in the end he got nothing."

"Xiao Ruojin and Ye Dingzhi both had children with Yi Wenjun, but Luo Qingyang could only watch from afar. It's really sad."

"Yi Wenjun has lived a life well lived, having been loved by three men in her lifetime."

"I still don't understand why Ye Dingzhi chose to commit suicide in the end. Didn't he rescue Yi Wenjun?"

……

The second box on the south side of the third floor.

Wuxin could no longer suppress the doubts in his heart, and rushed out of the door, holding the railing tightly with both hands, and shouted loudly: "Why!!"

Everyone in the hall was also full of doubts and started shouting, hoping that Su Chen would continue to tell the story.

On the white jade platform.

Su Chen glanced at Wu Xin, sighed slightly, and said:

"The reason is simple."

"Ye Dingzhi led the Demon Cult on an expedition to the East, regardless of the consequences, to recapture Yi Wenjun. In fact, he has already gone astray."

"When he finally met Yi Wenjun, his obsession dissipated, and he realized how serious a mistake he had made."

"The Demon Cult marched eastward, and the Northern Barbarians and Southern Jue also took advantage of the situation and sent troops. The land of Beili was plunged into war, and countless civilians died."

“It all started because of him alone.”

"Since a huge mistake has been made, we must bear the consequences."

"So Ye Dingzhi decided to end his life, to pay for all he had done."

"Yi Wenjun burst into tears and urgently called Luo Qingyang to rescue him."

"But Ye Dingzhi was determined to die, and Luo Qingyang couldn't stop him."

"At the last moment of his life, Ye Dingzhi entrusted Yi Wenjun to Luo Qingyang."

"But he has one condition—Luo Qingyang must not marry Yi Wenjun."

"Yi Wenjun can only have one husband, and that is Ye Dingzhi!"

"As for Xiao Ruojin in the palace, Ye Dingzhi never acknowledged him in his heart. It's a pity that he couldn't kill him with his own hands."

"After the explanation, Ye Dingzhi drew his sword and committed suicide. This is the end of his era as the leader of the Demon Cult."

"The Demon Cult's Eastern Expedition also ended in failure, and they signed a 'Locking Mountains and Rivers' pact with the major righteous sects in Beili."

"One of them is to keep the Demon Cult's young master, Ye Anshi, in Beili for twelve years."

"Nominally, they are hostages, but in reality, they are a form of protection for Baili Dongjun's brother's son."

"There are many factions within the Demon Cult. If Ye Anshi continues to stay in the Demon Cult, he will probably be hard to escape the evil hands of the villains."

"Under the Hanshan Temple..."

"Bai Li Dongjun, Luo Qingyang, and Yi Wenjun built a tomb for Ye Dingzhi."

"The tomb of my late husband Ye Dingzhi, my wife Yi Wenjun, and my close friends Baili Dongjun and Luo Qingyang."

"After the memorial ceremony, Yi Wenjun did not choose to stay with Luo Qingyang, but returned to Tianqi City alone."

"It's because she still cares about the Red King Xiao Yu."

"Luo Qingyang did not try to persuade her to stay, nor could he do so. He could only silently watch her walk away."

"Afterwards, he returned to Muliang City and continued to sharpen his sword."

"He knew that he was not strong enough and that he had to become even stronger and become the legendary number one swordsman in the world."

“Only in this way, one day in the future, when Yi Wenjun needs him, he can use the power of a sword to step into Tianqi and take her away.”

"What is love in this world? It makes people willing to be together through life and death."

"This is the Lone Sword Immortal, Luo Qingyang."

As Su Chen finished speaking, everyone in the hall looked shocked again.
