Save the Bachelor of Heaven

For the next few days, Xiang Nan stayed in bed at the Duke's Mansion to recover from his injuries.

Song Yuzhi and Li Xiuning often stayed by his side, helping him change and feed medicine, playing chess and chatting with him to prevent him from getting bored.

"It is said that when Sun Wukong found out that Bi Ma Wen was just a small official, he immediately rebelled against the Heavenly Court in anger, resigned from his official position, and returned to Huaguo Mountain..." Xiang Nan told Song Yuzhi a story.

Anyway, he was bored these days, so Xiang Nan told Song Yuzhi the story of "Journey to the West".

"Journey to the West" is one of the four great classics. It has been very popular since its birth and has been reprinted again and again.

Because it is so popular, the bookseller Yu Xiangdou compiled "Southern Journey", "Eastern Journey", "Northern Journey", etc., and then sold them together with the excerpt version of "Journey to the West" as "Four Journeys".

In short, it is precisely because "Journey to the West" is so popular that even booksellers come to take advantage of the popularity. This also indirectly shows the popularity of "Journey to the West".

Sure enough, Song Yuzhi was fascinated by Xiang Nan's story of Journey to the West. "What's next? How will the Heavenly Court deal with him?"

"It's getting late. Go back and rest first. I'll tell you tomorrow." Xiang Nan waved his hand and smiled.

"Hate you. Keeping me in suspense again." Song Yuzhi said coquettishly, "But, okay, your injury hasn't healed yet. After you recover, I want you to tell me the whole story in one breath."

"Don't worry, I will." Xiang Nan nodded and smiled.

Song Yuzhi left with satisfaction.

...

"Come in." Xiang Nan said loudly after Song Yuzhi left.

Then a red shadow flew into the room, followed by a fragrant breeze that shocked people's spirits.

"Master Zhong's story is really good. Even I am fascinated by it." Wan Wan smiled.

"Of course, when it comes to storytelling, no one in the world can compare to me." Xiang Nan smiled proudly. Thousands of years of cultural accumulation, is that a joke?

"Indeed." Qianqian nodded, "Master Zhong can be called the 'world's first talent'."

"Don't be polite, if you have anything to ask me, just tell me directly." Xiang Nan waved his hand and ignored her flattery.

"Can't I just come to see you?" Qianqian said shyly, "You are really cruel to yourself, you actually cut yourself so many times."

She knew that internal injuries could be faked, she once pretended to be poisoned and asked Xiang Nan and Xu Ziling to help her heal her injuries. But Xiang Nan's external injuries could not be faked, he really cut his body with a knife.

"Okay, don't say these things to me. Do you think I will believe it?" Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "Tell the truth, don't beat around the bush."

Hearing Xiang Nan's words, a trace of loneliness flashed across Xianxian's face, but then she smiled and said, "Master Zhong is still straightforward. Okay, then I'll tell you the truth. I came here this time because my master wanted me to take back the holy relics."

The evil emperor's relics are the treasure of the Demon Sect. It is not only a symbol of the evil emperors of all generations, but also contains the essence of the evil emperors of all generations. For the Demon Sect, its status is more important than the imperial seal and the Heshi Bi, and it has both symbolic significance and practical value.

Now the evil emperor's relics are in Xiang Nan's hands. As the leader of the Demon Sect, the Yin Queen Zhu Yuyan naturally hopes to take it back.

"Yes, the evil emperor's relic is a treasure that has been passed down from generation to generation in your demon sect. Logically, it should be returned to you." Xiang Nan nodded and said, "But as far as I know, the evil emperor's relic was originally a burial object stolen from an ancient tomb by the first generation of evil emperor Xie Tiao. So strictly speaking, the evil emperor's relic was also stolen from someone else by your demon sect.

In this case, let's not talk about taking it back. As the saying goes, everything is created by nature, and those who are capable occupy it. If she wants to get the evil emperor's relic from me, she can, if she has the ability, she can come and get it herself."

The evil emperor's relic can store internal energy essence, so he is reluctant to hand over such a treasure. Moreover, this crystal ball was originally obtained by the demon sect from tomb robbery. Now that he has taken it away, it is also the cycle of justice, and retribution is inevitable.

If he can't keep it, and it is taken away by others in the future, he deserves it.

...

"Don't be like this, Master Zhong, as long as you agree to return the evil emperor's relics, we are willing to pay any price." Seeing him say this, Wan Wan hurriedly said, "Even if you want to ascend the throne and become emperor, we are willing to help you with all our strength."

"Hahaha~" Xiang Nan laughed when he heard it, "Ascend the throne and become emperor?! What a joke. If I want to be an emperor, I have been the emperor of all the worlds. Do I still need your support?"

Wan Wan was stunned.

For the people in the Demon Sect, unifying the martial arts world, dominating the world, deposing Confucianism, and respecting the Demon Sect alone have always been their highest ideals.

So she later painstakingly cultivated Ming Kong, that is, Wu Zhao, so that she could usurp the world of the Li family, ascend the throne and become the first and only empress in China.

So when she heard Xiang Nan's refusal, she was really surprised. She didn't expect that there were people in the world who didn't want to be emperor.

"Is there really no room for negotiation?" Xianxian asked again.

If Xiang Nan doesn't even want to ascend the throne, then any gold, silver and treasures will be useless.

"No." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said.

"Then you and our Demon Sect will fight to the death in the future." Xianxian said.

"You can come and rob." Xiang Nan nodded, "But I have to remind you first that the four great bandits of the Demon Sect and the shadow swordsman Yang Xuyan have all been killed by me. So if you send people, it's better to send more masters, otherwise you won't even have the chance to get close to me."

"You killed all four of the demon sect's bandits?! No wonder there's no news about them these days." Hanhan was shocked when she heard this.

The four major enemies of the Demon Sect are Bian Fuxia, You Niaojuan, Rong Fengxiang, and Rong Jiaojiao. Although their individual martial arts are not as good as those of Queen Zhu Yuyan, but together they are stronger than Zhu Yuyan.

This is also the reason why Zhu Yuyan has been unable to unify the Demon Sect for so many years.

But unexpectedly, all the four major bandits died in Xiang Nan's hands. From this point of view, even if Zhu Yuyan comes out of the mountain, she will probably come back defeated.

"Since Mr. Zhong said so, the Demon Sect will fight you to the death from now on." Hanwen then said, "You have to be careful in the future. We in the Demon Sect may not be as good as you in terms of martial arts, but in this world Victory is not determined solely by martial arts.”

"Thank you for reminding me, I will pay attention." Xiang Nan nodded, "By the way, where are Ziling and Miss Shi now?"

"They have been rescued by Kong Kong and brought back to Jing Nian Zen Temple." Huan Huan replied, "And as you expected, their relationship did get closer during their escape.

But my master said it was impossible for them to come together. Because the saints of Cihang Jingzhai were not allowed to be emotional, Fan Qinghui would not allow his concubine Xuan to marry Xu Ziling. "
