The Arch-Enemy Must Not Become a Wife

Only then did Master Songxue breathe a sigh of relief. With a light flick of his sleeve, a seemingly illusory white silk treasure flew out, encircling his people and the disciples of the Dao Palace.

This circle seemed to place this group of people in another realm, making it impossible for those around to hear their words. Even their figures became blurred and ethereal, like a shadowy cloud of indeterminate form.

Seeing the situation turning favorable for the Shangguan family once more, greed emerged in the hearts of many cultivators.

Moreover, with the appearance of Fairy Wugou, some believed Chu Xuan was innocent, yet others genuinely began to doubt him:

At a glance, the two seemed to have a large difference in seniority, but if Chu Xuan truly was Celestial Evil, their acquaintance would be entirely reasonable. Even... Celestial Evil could well have secretly won over Su Mengqing in the past!

Of course, even the Shangguan family wouldn’t dare voice such suspicions directly, as this would equate to a severe accusation against the heavens, forcing them into a confrontation unwillingly.

As a battle seemed on the verge of breaking out, suddenly, someone else appeared!

It was a middle-aged man in a blue long robe, with a black-sheathed long saber at his waist and a weathered gaze. He silently appeared before Chu Xuan, saying in a steady voice, "I don’t see who dares to move against him today!"

Following his words, a fierce, ruthless, and exceedingly intense saber intent swept the scene in an instant!

Many onlookers suddenly felt a chill on their necks and retreated in fear, hastily checking if their heads were still attached.

The mysterious man’s aura exploded, revealing himself as another figure of the Seventh Realm, and his presence was far more dominant than Shangguan Congrou’s, evidently reaching the consummate state of the seventh realm.

Shangguan He gritted his teeth tightly, looking at the man and enunciated word by word, "Yu, Zhan, Feng!"

Upon hearing these words, the crowd erupted; it was legendary Blade Sovereign Yu Zhanfeng!

This was a well-known but exceedingly mysterious powerhouse.

Years ago, he was merely a pitiable person whose family was destroyed, determined to enter the demonic path for revenge, but by chance met Celestial Evil Demon Venerable.

Celestial Evil prevented Yu Zhanfeng from entering the demonic path, guided and assisted him, even gifting him the unparalleled sword technique "Seven Heartless Techniques," allowing him to grow step by step into a famous swordsman, eventually avenging his great vendetta.

However, regrettably, Celestial Evil’s rise was too swift; ordinary people couldn’t keep up with his pace of cultivation.

During the third great battle between righteousness and evil, Yu Zhanfeng was merely a minor cultivator, secluded in the Northern Territory refining his sword techniques, unaware his benefactor faced life and death challenges.

Given his level at the time, rushing to assist would have been suicidal, yet this remained a lifelong regret.

Since then, Yu Zhanfeng has continuously assisted those with past affiliations with Celestial Evil, regardless of frequent conflicts with righteous sects.

Unfortunately, as old friends gradually disappeared, Yu Zhanfeng also vanished, unseen for nearly a century.

No one expected Yu Zhanfeng to emerge at this crucial juncture, to protect Chu Xuan.

"Chu Xuan, you still say you’re not Celestial Evil Demon Venerable?!" Shangguan He looked at him with resentful eyes.

"If you’re not Celestial Evil, then why would Yu Zhanfeng protect you?"

Chu Xuan looked at him like a mad dog, not bothering with a response, instead taking a moment to glance at Yu Zhanfeng. back then in Ghost Street, Qingqing had used him as an example, now it seemed quite nostalgic, yet realizing the change.

Yu Zhanfeng turned towards the opposition and chuckled lightly, "Today whether he is or isn’t, I am helping him either way, what can you do about it?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone knew this matter was far from resolved peacefully.

However, the Shangguan side seemed unable to gather enough manpower to deal with Yu Zhanfeng, so is there any need for them to risk their lives besieging Chu Xuan?

It’s undeniable that Chu Xuan’s suspicion level continues to rise, yet those in the demonic path reaching the seventh and eighth realms are all exceptionally cunning, unwilling to act without solid evidence.

Expecting them to voluntarily intercept this troublesome Blade Sovereign for Shangguan, seems unlikely; they prefer smooth sailing, bullying the weak, with a disinterest in challenging formidable opponents.

Moreover, Master Songxue of the heavenly void claimed to leave but didn’t, as did Chen Yixian of Purple Heaven Jade Mansion and Duan Wanshan of Celestial Sword Palace; these are renowned righteous powerhouses.

Attacking Chu Xuan with cultivators below the Three Profound realms is one thing, but if the Three Profound realm figures shamelessly launched assaults against a junior, would they truly sit idly by?

At this time, Shangguan He finally made his move, bowing towards Luoxue Mountain Manor, "Manor Master, may I trouble you to take action once, once this matter is resolved, our sects shall be square."

The onlookers were stunned; Luoxue Mountain Manor is a reputable mid-level sect known for its Body Refinement legacy.

At the last Hundred Flowers Banquet, their eldest young lady, Nangong Meng, left a deep impression on Chu Xuan, appearing delicate yet fiercely aggressive when provoked.

The Manor Master of Luoxue Mountain Manor, a dignified and burly man with a full beard, sighed upon hearing and stepped forward, bowing towards Li Fanzhou and Chu Xuan:

"I have no intention of getting involved in this conflict, but years ago when our manor was founded, we owed a large favor to the Profound Celestial Sect. Without their significant assistance, Luoxue Mountain Manor would have been destroyed by enemies long ago."
