Unparalleled Evildoer

Chapter 371: Not Giving
Ying Zhao led the orcs to take Wuzhan, Zhulang Miaoxin, as well as Jinxingzi and Lingkongzi outside the palace into a dark room. The room slowly descended for a long time, and finally landed on the ground with a "clang".

As the door of the darkroom opened, a foul stench filled the air. In front of them were several cells, which were dark and damp. There was only a faint oil lamp at the door, dimly illuminating the dungeon. Wuzhan and the others were locked in the same cell together. "Bang..." The iron door fell heavily to the ground, locking them inside.

After Ying Zhao left the dark room and was pulled up by the iron chain, Jin Xingzi couldn't help cursing, "This empress is really ungrateful and repays kindness with enmity. If it weren't for Wan Jiao, I would have scolded her for three days and three nights!"

Ling Kongzi said: "She even killed the ghost guards, there is nothing she can do. It's useless for you to scold her now, she can't hear you. You should think about how to leave here now."

Jin Xingzi stepped on the wet ground and said, "This is poured with molten iron. I can't do anything about it." He turned to Wuzhan and said, "Master, why didn't you take the opportunity to escape? I can handle that general by myself!"

Zhulang said: "If we want to escape, only Master can escape. If Bai Daoxing wants to kill us, it only takes a thought." As soon as these words came out, the prison room immediately became quiet. Everyone knew Bai Daoxing's realm.

Miao Xin came out of her trance and asked Wu Zhan, "Does she really not remember anything?"

Jin Xingzi and the others looked at Wuzhan, also puzzled, and only heard Wuzhan say: "If she remembers, will it be a good thing for her?"

Miao Xin said: "But you know her heart, sir. Can you bear to look at her and not recognize her? Don't you want to find out the reason?"

"As long as she is happy and worry-free, that is the best outcome."

"But doing this is unfair to her. If she recalls it one day, she will be even more painful, and may even..."

"All I can do is prevent her from thinking about it. That's why I don't allow you to interrupt."

Miao Xin asked, "Doesn't the master like her?"

Wuzhan said: "I hope she can be happy, but I can't give it to her. In the past, I brought her nothing but pain. She almost died because of me. From now on, I can only survive a narrow escape and my future is uncertain."

Miaoxin was speechless after hearing this. What Wuzhan said made sense, but her heart was sad and she felt sorry for the relationship between the two.

……

The creaking sound of iron chains could be heard from outside the cell. Not long after, a small hole was opened under the cell door, and a small bucket of food was handed in. The orcs outside muttered, "Today, the princess is getting married, and this is the food for you!"

"What!" Miao Xin was speechless, and asked quickly: "Who is the princess going to marry?"

"Of course it must be the Taoist Saint from the Heavenly Palace. Otherwise, who would be worthy of our princess?"

Miao Xin opened her eyes wide and looked at the indifferent Wuzhan, and said anxiously: "Sir, ..."

Wuzhan closed his eyes and did not answer. At this moment, he looked more like an elderly man.

Ling Kongzi couldn't bear it any longer and said angrily, "Master, Bai Daoxing from the Heavenly Palace is obviously not a good person. Can you bear to watch my master's wife marry him? My master's wife died once for you."

Jin Xingzi said, "No, if the master doesn't save her, we will go to save her. We must make her remember!" As he said that, he hit the iron door hard with his fist wrapped in fire. A muffled sound was heard, but only the fist mark was left, and the iron door did not move at all.

"Let me do it!" Ling Kongzi stepped forward and attacked with his palm several times in a row, and the result was the same as before.

Miao Xin also stepped forward and joined the two in pounding on the iron gate. They worked hard but to no avail. Miao Xin's emotions were out of control. She came to Wuzhan and cried, "Sir, is your heart made of this iron stone?"

Wuzhan slowly opened his eyes, stood up and said: "I can take you out, but you must not act rashly without my order, otherwise, I will abandon you and leave alone, and we will never see each other again!"

……

The Zhaixing Palace was decorated with lights and was in a festive mood. The orcs in the palace were busy and having a banquet, making it extremely lively. However, Bie Xin's bedroom was extremely deserted. Bie Xin sat quietly for a long time and suddenly started coughing violently, with blood oozing from the corners of his mouth. Boyue hurried forward and put his palm against Bie Xin's back to give him air.

Bie Xin recovered his breath and asked solemnly, "Is everything ready, Princess?"

"Everything is ready. We just need to wait for the right time to get married." "That's great."

"How does Your Majesty want to deal with Yusou and others?"

"What Yusou said is to tell us that the reason they helped Qingqiu City was because Wuzhan asked them to do so, and Wuzhan no longer wants to entangle Zhuohua. That dungeon cannot hold them, so if they want to escape, let them escape."

"Your Majesty, I am always worried that one day Zhuohua will reach that level of cultivation and unlock his sealed memories. He will hate me for being young. If he wants to commit suicide like he did before, what should I do?"

"That depends on how Bai Daoxing treats her. She will figure this out sooner or later."

Boyue thought for a moment and said, "Bai Daoxing is indeed polite and obedient to Zhuohua, but I am still a little worried about leaving Zhuohua to him like this."

"The more concerned I am, the more worried I am. She needs to face many things on her own. I can't take care of so much." After saying that, he started coughing violently again.

……

Wuzhan stood up and walked to the iron gate. He squatted down and put one hand on the pull tab for delivering food. With a bang, the pull tab was shattered. Then, Wuzhan's hand extended through the gap and quickly found the mechanism to open the iron gate. The iron gate was slowly pulled up. There was no one guarding outside. Several people came to the tunnel of the lifting darkroom and looked up. It was pitch black with only two heavy iron chains hanging down. There was no other way but to climb up along the iron chains.

About half an hour later, several people finally climbed into the dark room. From the light shining through the dark room, they could judge that they had reached the exit, but because the dark room blocked their way, several people could not pass through.

Wuzhan thought for a moment, then he knocked on the wall along the chain with his hands. Soon he pointed to a place and ordered Jin Xingzi to break the iron sheet of the wall and dig out a space for several people to hide in.

Ling Kongzi drew out the Thunderous Reverse Blade and cut the chain with one stroke. Then he heard a whistling sound in the dark room and a bright light was projected down. Soon after, a loud rumbling sound was heard from below.

Several people flew out of the exit without hesitation. At noon, there was no one guarding outside the dungeon, and the sound of grand ritual music came from the direction of the Zhaixing Palace.

Zhulang found his Changhe Sword, and the few of them quickly bypassed several houses and gardens and sneaked into the harem garden. Miaoxin was quick-witted and knocked out two orc palace maids, dragged them into the house, took off their outer clothes, put them on, and handed the other one to Wuzhan. Wuzhan did not hesitate and after changing into the clothes, they found that they fit well.

Wuzhan tore off her mask and covered her face with a veil, looking no different from a palace maid. Miaoxin smiled slightly, and then she and Wuzhan disguised themselves as palace maids and left the house. Following the two palace maids, they entered a gorgeous bedroom.

A woman in red auspicious clothes sat in front of a bronze mirror. She had a beautiful figure and a solemn expression, as if there were thousands of sorrows weighing on her heart, making her not even a bit happy. This woman was Zhuohua.

Miao Xin saw Zhuo Hua's body froze. She didn't expect to see Zhuo Hua like this. She looked at Wu Zhan anxiously, but saw that Wu Zhan just lowered his head, like a humble palace maid. Miao Xin really couldn't understand Wu Zhan more and more. Such a life and death separation was so close, but he was so calm. Did he forget it? Or did he never like the person in front of him at all? Thinking of this, she felt cold in her heart.

"Why don't you come up and dress the princess!" The palace maid beside Zhuohua yelled at Miaoxin and Wuzhan. It turned out that the person Miaoxin knocked out was the palace maid who was invited to dress Zhuohua.

Wuzhan and Miaoxin stepped forward. Wuzhan picked up the comb to comb Zhuohua's hair, while Miaoxin put on makeup for her. Zhuohua's face was flawless, with heavy or light makeup always suitable for her. Her hair was shiny and smooth, with a faint fragrance.

The comb encountered no resistance, but the slender hands were trembling a little, and the eyes looking at Zhuohua were already moist. Tears slid down Miaoxin's cheeks and fell to the ground. Zhuohua just looked at himself in the bronze mirror and didn't notice.

The queen mother's order, an impeccable fairy partner, and a bright future, she should be happy, but her heart was not interested at all, as if there was a stone blocking it, heavy.

There are three tiny red dots on the top of her head, which Wuzhan has already noticed. Just as he guessed at the time, there must be three fine needles placed inside. These three fine needles, neither biased nor straight, have blocked that memory. As long as he uses his soul power, he can suck out these three fine needles, and Wanjiao can recover that memory.

If you love someone, do you want to possess her regardless of everything and endure the unacceptable journey together, or do you hope to have nothing to do with her anymore and forget each other, so that she can live a carefree life?
The scenes at Cangyan Mountain echoed in Miaoxin's mind. She witnessed with her own eyes the separation of life and death between the two, and their love until death. Now, the two were alive and well, but they did not recognize each other. She was sure that if Wanjiao remembered, she would definitely refuse to become a fairy couple with Bai Daoxing. She would definitely follow Mr. Ding and never let go. This was unfair to Wanjiao. She should have the right to know and make her own choice, instead of being kept in the dark.

Miaoxin was going crazy and wanted to shout, ignoring her husband's warnings and awakening Wanjiao's memory, but she couldn't open her mouth. She believed that her husband must be in a thousand times more pain than she was at this moment. She didn't understand how her husband could endure such pain and just watch Wanjiao marry someone else.

Wuzhan gently placed the crown on Wanjiao's head, and his fingers accidentally withdrew from the side of Wanjiao's face. The woman who was about to become the master of Qingqiu City came back to her senses from her daze, and seemed to smell a familiar smell. She looked at the palace maid who was putting the crown on her. Since she had been practicing in Boyue Cave and seldom lived in the palace, and the palace maids here were often replaced, she was not familiar with them. Seeing that the palace maid had the same figure as an orc, she was too lazy to ask her to take off her veil. Seeing the ugly face, she sighed but did not ask any questions.

Boyue walked in and after carefully examining Zhuohua, he said, "The auspicious time is approaching. Princess, please go to Zhaixing Palace to get married and ascend the throne."
