Chapter 349 – Rescuing the Troubles by Marriage
Tan Qingxue came.
She stepped into the arena with a flourish, and all the people of the Dao Sect’s faces changed slightly, and amongst the crowd, Li Nianxue was even more complex.
The White Realm Immortal frowned and exchanged a glance with the Thousand Miao Realist, both of them had some worried looks in their eyes, but he still calmed down his expression and arched his hand towards an old man beside Tan Qingxue, saying:
“So it’s Fellow Daoist Zhu from the Heavenly Jewel Holy Land, nice to meet you, nice to meet you!”
He was also quite familiar with the people of the Heavenly Pearl Sacred Ground, and knew that this old man was named Zhu Changyan, and was the Heavenly Pearl Sacred Ground’s “Vermilion Bird Protector”, with a very high status, and was only one step away from being a Taiyi Golden Immortal, with an esteemed status that could not be taken lightly.
That old man in a red robe, stork bone high bald, nose tip such as eagle hook, hands behind the back, face with a kind of arrogance and superiority of the gas, said: “white friend, thousand Miao friend, you double head mountain, not too not to speak, at least Purple Fairy passes the law to the world, you have also been benefited, and now it is so hands, not to let the world people scoffing?”
White Realm Immortal frowned more tightly, Zhu Changyan this opening, is speaking for the Dao Sect ah …… seems to come from a bad place.
The Heavenly Jewel Sacred Land is the source land, and the source land, generally, has had a Dala Golden Immortal in its history, so the Dao Sect’s land has undergone certain changes, and even though it has not become a Heavenly Palace, it is still better than a famous mountain. Although nowadays the top combatants of both sides are Taiyi Golden Immortals, the source land’s heritage and strength is a bit stronger than their Twin Heads Mountain, and the other side intervenes in this matter, their Twin Heads Mountain will have to be scrupulous.
“Fellow Daoist Zhu is joking, we’re here, we’re just here to talk some business with our fellow Daoist friends from Dao Mountain ……”
“Is that so? If that’s the case, then why don’t we talk about it together?”
Zhu Changyan smiled, looked around, and said, “Peak Master Xiang, you have all of you from the Dao Mountain take back your killing intent battle intent, and talk about it.”
Xiang Yun Tian and Gu Shame Night glanced at each other, both of them didn’t understand Zhu Chang Yan’s purpose, but it’s good to wait and see what happens, so they waved their hands, and all the people around them put down their weapons and so on, and the austere atmosphere of the party just dissipated.
“This is the right thing, go, everyone into the inner a catch up.”
The senior members of the Dao Mountain, the two White Realm Immortals, as well as the experts of the Heavenly Jewel Sacred Land, then stepped inside the Heavenly Dao Hall.
“Nian Xue, where are you going?”
Tan Qingxue hadn’t spoken since her entrance, but at this moment, she suddenly looked at Li Nianxue with a bland expression, “Protector Zhu and the others are here for you as well, there’s an important matter that you have to be present for.”
Xiang Yun Tian and Gu Shame Night and the others, were even more puzzled, for the sake of Li Nian Xue? What was this about?
Li Nianxue looked at Tan Qingxue, but there was not much respect for her mother in her eyes, instead, she looked cold, saying, “The major events of the Dao Mountain are all decided by Peak Master Xiang and Peak Master Gu, so if you want to talk about anything, you can just talk about it with them, I’m a disciple of the Dao Sect, I will never turn my back on them, and I swear to serve to the death, no matter whether it is life or death! What peak master Xiang and peak master Gu agree to, I will do, why do I need to be present?”
There were thorns in her words, and Tan Qingxue frowned slightly, not saying anything more.
Li Nianxue turned around and said, “Peak Master Xiang and Peak Master Gu, I’m going to go over to the Monument Forest, I’m afraid something has happened to Chi Yilan ……”
She was quite worried.
Xiang Yun Tian nodded, and Li Nianxue turned around and left.
Zhu Changyan and the rest of the group entered the Heavenly Dao Hall to start a new round of “negotiations”.
……
Li Nianxue speedily rushed to the monument forest, when she saw a piece of wolf in, seriously injured Li An, couldn’t help but lose color, eager and incomparable said: “too …… late Yi Lan, what happened to you?”
She flew to the front of Li An, checked Li An’s injuries, eyes flashed through the color of heartache, and then immediately took Li An away, towards the Dao Sect’s “Spring Palace”.
“Senior Aunt Xue Yan, please save him, please save him!”
The current master of the Hui Chun Hall was the disciple of the Dao Sect’s Hui Chun Peak, Xue Yan, who had personally treated Li An when he had been injured many times after his Demon Seed had been taken away.
Xue Yan got the news, immediately opened the formation of Hui Chun Hall, personally, for Li An treatment, while Li Nian Xue is guarded outside the hall, tightly biting the lower lip.
She was silently praying, Li An must not have anything happen ……
Otherwise, the Dao Sect would really be all finished ……
And she, too, would become a thousand-year-old sinner.
……
Time flew by.
One hour later.
“Senior Aunt Nianxue, Peak Master Xiang and Peak Master Gu have orders to invite you inside the Heavenly Dao Hall for important matters.”
Li Qingran arrived, Li Nianxue was a bit puzzled, she was unwilling to leave this place, but thinking that it would not help if she stayed, she nodded and followed Li Qingran to the Heavenly Dao Hall.
Entering the hall, Li Nianxue found that White Realm Immortal and Thousand Miao Real Person had gone to who knows where, and only people from the Heavenly Jewel Holy Land were left in the hall.
“Greetings to the two Peak Masters.”
Li Nianxue bowed towards Xiang Yun Tian and Gu Shame Night, “I wonder what the two Peak Masters have called to command?”
Xiang Yun Tian was silent, Gu Shame Night then opened his mouth, “Nian Xue, with the help of the Heavenly Jewel Holy Land’s friends of the Dao, the plight of the Double Head Mountain has been solved, such as the Heavenly Jewel Holy Land’s friends of the Dao, who want to marry with my Dao Mountain ……”
Li Nianxue heard the words, already had a premonition of what was going on, and couldn’t help but ask, “May I ask the Peak Master, is it true that as long as there is a marriage, the twenty quotas of my Dao Sect can be preserved?”
Gu Shame Night nodded, “A holy son over at the Heavenly Jewel Holy Land wants to marry you, in addition, they also have a condition, if you agree to the matter of the marriage, our Dao Sect will have to seal you as my Dao Sect’s holy maiden to show that it’s dignified, moreover, in the future, the Dao Sect’s Patriarch’s position will be inherited by you …… “
Li Nianxue was stunned for a moment and instantly understood what the Heavenly Jewel Sacred Land meant!
The Heavenly Pearl Holy Land seemed to be helping the Dao Sect, but its actions …… were no different from those of the Twin Headed Mountain!
The Holy Son of the Heavenly Pearl Holy Land, married the future Patriarch of the Dao Sect, in this way, I’m afraid that in the future, the Dao Sect will fall into the hands of the Heavenly Pearl Holy Land as much as possible.
The means can be much more brilliant than Double Head Mountain.
She but only contemplated for a moment before saying, “As long as the two peak masters feel it is appropriate, the matter of marriage, Nian Xue naturally agrees, it’s just that the disciple is not the strongest, and inheriting the Dao Sect is not appropriate in terms of sense or reason, so I would like to ask the two peak masters to give more consideration to this matter.”
The marriage may not be without benefit, indeed, the Dao Sect can take a breath and solve the immediate danger, just, she also does not want to later on
Gu Shame Night is shaking his head, “No, life events, all by themselves, although you are the people of the Dao Sect, but also can never be due to the Dao Sect and let you sacrifice the self, if for a little benefit, forced disciples, my Dao Sect and the devil’s way how different?”
“This matter originally we have no way to comment, only Tan Taoist friend in person, she is your mother, mentioning this matter, said that you want to let you marry over …… before we let you come over, inquire your opinion, you do not have to consider my and Xiang Yun Tian’s opinion.”
Li Nianxue subconsciously looked at Tan Qingxue, she then realized that all this actually came from Tan Qingxue’s handiwork?
Tan Qingxue gazed at Li Nianxue and faintly said, “Marrying into the Heavenly Jewel Sacred Ground will only benefit you, I’m your mother, I won’t harm you.”
But Xiang Yun Tian was suddenly speaking, “The holy son who wants to marry you, named Dao Fluffy, you should have heard of him, this person had refined many female cultivators, infamous, married you, I’m afraid that he also has ulterior motives, you must consider carefully, as long as you do not agree, then no one can force you!”
“You are a disciple of my Dao Sect, if there is anything, there will be a clan to shelter you, even if it’s your mother, ultimately she’s just an outsider!”
He was clearly a tit-for-tat, gazing at Tan Qingxue, Zhu Changyan and the others, saying, “Since the establishment of the Dao Sect, I have yet to have a disciple suffer such indignities!”
In fact, when the Heavenly Jewel Sacred Ground made this request, Xiang Yun Tian and Gu Shame Night had already rejected it outright!
It was only when Tan Qingxue opened her mouth, although she had rebelled against the Dao Sect, but how was also Li Nianxue’s mother, mentioning Li Nianxue’s lifelong event in her mother’s name, after all, it was also reasonable, and only then did Xiang Yun Tian and the others call Li Nianxue over.
When Xiang Yun Tian said this, Zhu Chang Yan and the others all flashed displeased colors in their eyes.
Dao Fluffy had a bad reputation, but Xiang Yun Tian had not given them face by speaking so bluntly!
Tan Qingxue, on the other hand, just looked at Li Nianxue and said softly, “You are a smart person, make the right choice.”
Li Nianxue bowed her head in silence, she knew that if she agreed, the Dao Mountain would be able to obtain a short period of peace, or at least, be able to safely wait until the opening of this Secret Realm of Time and Space ……
If she refused, the Heavenly Jewel Sacred Ground will be even more terrifying than Double Head Mountain, and the Dao Sect will fall, really only today. ……
She is not afraid to die, Dao Sect up and down are not afraid to die, because everyone has a belief, Dao Sect Taishang, Purple Fairy’s only true disciple Li An is still in the world, he is still alive Dao Sect has hope.
But she knows that now Li An is also in the mountain ah, and was seriously injured, if anything really happens, I am afraid that Li An will also die here ……
As for the Dao Fluffy? Of course she knows, this person cultivates the gong method is the holy territory of the famous “big yin and yang gong”, it is said that this gong is a great Luo Jinxian, from the devil in the birth, so practitioners tend to be flirtatious, and if the brutality of some of them, often will make the couple fall, the achievement of their own… …
The situation would definitely be difficult for her to marry over.
But she didn’t consider this, she was just weighing how, at the moment, it would be better for Daoshan.
“The Heavenly Jewel Sacred Ground wants to annex the Dao Mountain through me, so in that case, all of the Dao Mountain, including those twenty places, naturally belongs to the Heavenly Jewel Sacred Ground as well……. But, what if I die before the marriage is consummated?”
A thought flashed through her mind, then she felt her heart was clear, no more hesitation, nodded and said, “Nianxue, I wish to marry into the Heavenly Jewel Sacred Ground!”
The words were calm, and there was really no trace of hesitation or apprehension.
Tan Qingxue nodded slightly, Zhu Changyan also stroked his beard and smiled, but it was Xiang Yuntian who frowned and said, “No, her words are definitely not from her heart!”
Li Nianxue knew that if she said it was for the sake of the Dao Sect, Xiang Yuntian and the others would surely be able to stop her, so she smiled faintly and said, “Peak Master Xiang, my father died early, and there is only one family member left in the world, so this matter should be honored by my parents, and since she is in the Heavenly Jewel Sacred Ground, I will count it as a mother-daughter reunion after I go over there.”
Xiang Yun Tian frowned tightly, while Gu Shame Night sighed slightly and said, “So be it, so be it-“
He stood up and looked towards Zhu Changyan and the others, saying, “Fellow Daoists, since Nianxue has agreed to this marriage, we naturally have nothing to say, in addition, Nianxue’s cultivation is exquisite and pure, her character is excellent, and she is the Holy Daughter of my Dao Sect, so as a future heir, it’s also not unavoidable.”
Zhu Changyan and the others, all revealed a look of satisfaction.
Gu Shame Night then arched his hand and said, “Such a great event, my Dao Sect still has to hold a ceremony, endorsing my Dao Sect’s Taishang, so I won’t stay for long with all of you.”
Zhu Changyan instantly said, “Your Dao Sect still has a Taishang alive? Could it be Li An? …… He has returned?!”
There was some concern in his words, who in the Sacred Realm didn’t know that Li An was the true disciple of the Purple Immortal, and it would be a big deal if such a number one important person returned!
Gu Shame Night shook his head, pointing to the empty seat above him, saying, “The Taishang has not yet arrived, but he has to be honored.”
Zhu Changyan put his heart down and nodded, “Good, in that case, we will leave first.”
“In the coming day, we will have someone carry the bride price here and perform the ritual of betrothal.” After saying that, they all left.
……
“I never thought that one day, my Dao Sect would actually need to be so condescending!”
Xiang Yun Tian clenched his fists, anger in his eyes, and said, “Li Nianxue clearly agreed to this marriage for the sake of the Dao Sect …… but you and I failed to stop it.”
Gu Shame Night sighed and said, “Old Xiang, today’s plan, all hope is in the Secret Realm of Time and Space ……”
“We can safely wait until the Secret Realm of Time and Space opens, enter it, and obtain enough power to, on the one hand, save the Purple Fairy, and on the other hand, strengthen ourselves, and then, everything will have its own chance to change.”
Xiang Yun Tian nodded and said, “I’ll go and pass the order, the whole clan, starting today, close the door and wait for the opening of the space-time secret realm!”
……
Li An awoke half a month later.
Although Li Nianxue had answered the marriage contract, she didn’t take it to heart at all, instead, she guarded the outside of the temple day after day.
In addition, Li An “resisted” the Golden Immortal Qianmiao real meritorious, so Xiang Yuntian, Gu Shame Night also came to see him once, he was quite praised, is considered to be completely recognized this new disciple.
After a few days of recuperation, the Heavenly Jewel Sacred Ground carried a bride price to the Taoist Sect, and all of them knew about the marriage contract.
Li An also participated.
In the main hall, within the crowd, Li An saw Tan Qingxue.
She was dressed in white, looks beautiful still, just a few more points of cold temperament, such as the lake as unmeasurable, such as icebergs as unapproachable, even if the treatment of her daughter Li Nianxue, treatment of the deceased to the cloud sky, etc., are just a cold and detached attitude, it seems that these people, can not let her have half a point of the ripples of the heart.
Once the Xuan Yang Sect’s pregnant young girl, later the Demon Race’s amorous demon queen, and then the Taoist Sect’s Demon Ancestor Peak Heavenly Maiden …… has now seemed to have completely changed into a person.
Demon Ancestor Peak chopped off the past, she not only chopped off Li An, but also chopped off the self that will be sentimental, will be moved by love.
Only an Everlasting Taoist heart remains.
“Did I do wrong?”
The engagement ceremony was completed, Li Nianxue walked over to Li An and asked in a low voice, she seemed a little unsure so she needed Li An to give an answer.
Li An smiled faintly and said, “Everything is the best choice, no matter what you do, I will support you.”
Nonsense, how could this be wrong? In his opinion, this was the best solution!
Daoshan could be safe for the time being, and also keep the quota to enter the Secret Realm of Time and Space, it was simply a great thing for Li An.
Not to mention just sacrificing one Li Nianxue, even if all of the Dao Sect’s cultivators went to join with the union, Li An didn’t see any problems.
As long as it was good for him.
Hearing this, Li Nianxue seemed to have gained some strength as well, saying, “I will do my best, and I will not fail the Dao Sect …… or the Taishang.”
Li An didn’t say anything.
Instead, in the crowd, Tan Qingxue, as far as her eyes could see, came over and said:
“From now on, you are the fiancée of the Dao Fluffy Saint Son of the Heavenly Pearl Holy Land, so you should pay attention to your demeanor.”
She faintly looked at Li An, long time personnel, she naturally can detect, her daughter seems to be a little special to this kid ……, when the two people talk, Li Nianxue is too close.
She did not want to affect her plans because of such a small person.
Li An said, “Aunt Li, I’ll go to the Monument Forest first-“
He then turned around and left without saying a word to Tan Qingxue.
But Tan Qingxue looked at Li An’s back as he left, but inexplicably drifted off for a moment, but she had long since cut herself off, and at this moment, she was only like water ripples passing by in a flash, and didn’t have any other thoughts, but only looked at Li Nianxue and said, “This son recognizes the times, and since he recognizes the times, he is a sensible person.”
“Has he ever objected to you marrying into the Holy Land?”
Li Nianxue shook her head.
Tan Qingxue snorted and said:
“That’s it, lowly in stature, sensible, but not emotionally attached, this kind of person will stop at nothing in order to climb up the ladder, even treating you as a tool. Don’t put your heart on this kind of person, you will only lose everything and hurt yourself in vain, think clearly about what’s favorable to you and just make the right decision.”
Li Nianxue but said, “So, in the beginning, you also think like this, only to achieve a lifetime of regret, and finally ended up with a self-cutting the past, right?”
In her words, she did not hide her mockery of Tan Qingxue.
Tan Qingxue, however, did not become enraged, but only withdrew the smile on her beautiful face, and faintly said, “Cutting off one’s past is a lifetime’s regret to you, but to me, this is the true path to Immortality, and you’ll understand that later.”
……
After linking up with the Heavenly Jewel Sacred Ground, the Dao Sect really calmed down all of a sudden, and there were no more disciples’ corpses to send to the Monument Forest.
All up and down the sect, they all began to cultivate bitterly, after this incident, everyone was indignant and holding their breath.
Even Li An, even though he was guarding the Stele Forest, he was also given the Life Nourishing Casting Immortal Technique and various methods passed down within the Dao Sect for him to cultivate.
Everything, everything was in preparation for the opening of the Secret Realm of Time and Space twenty years later.
……
“The Heavenly Jewel Sacred Ground is truly abominable, how dare they act like this!”
At this moment, on Double Head Mountain, the White Realm Immortal, the Thousand Miao Realist, and the others, were having a secret discussion.
“False benevolence, marriage with the Dao Sect, but is just borrowing this matter to annex the Dao Sect …… We have been planning for many years with great care, but in turn, we have made a dowry for them.”
“Right, although this time the Heavenly Jewel Sacred Ground gave us twenty places as compensation, it’s not worth mentioning compared to the benefits in the future!”
The crowd was all very unhappy.
The Heavenly Jewel Sacred Ground stepped in to protect the Lower Dao Mountain, and at the same time, from amongst their own quotas, gave twenty to the Dual Headed Mountain, and after the Dual Headed Mountain weighed the pros and cons of the situation, that’s when they stepped back for the time being.
However, these twenty quotas were only for this time, compared to the long-term benefits in the future, it was still a blood loss.
“Brother Bai, so it seems that you had other considerations at that time?”
Qian Miaozhen opened his mouth towards Bai Jingshen, who was the one who had agreed to it at that time.
White Realm Immortal said, “If we didn’t agree, we wouldn’t be able to exterminate the Dao Sect with the intervention of the Heavenly Jewel Sacred Land.”
“Therefore, no matter what the Heavenly Jewel Sacred Ground has planned, we have no choice but to take the immediate benefits first before planning for the long term.”
Someone asked, “What should the long-term plan be?”
The White Realm Immortal smiled faintly and said, “The Heavenly Jewel Sacred Ground itself has two hundred places to enter the secret realm, the bit of stuff from the Dao Mountain, they don’t see eye to eye, the reason why they are willing to intervene in this matter, the most important thing is still that girl doll called Li Nianxue, this person is quite important to their holy son, Dao Fluffy, the annexation of the Dao Sect, it’s just a matter of going along with it… …But what if, we let that female doll, Li Nianxue, die in the Secret Realm of Time and Space?”
“At that time, the marriage contract between the two sides will naturally be nullified, and the Heavenly Jewel Sacred Ground will no longer have a reason to return to protect the Dao Sect, so we’ll just strike again.”
Upon hearing this, the crowd also nodded their heads, for now, it could only be so.
……
Time flew by.
In the blink of an eye, Li An stayed in the monument forest for another twenty years.
“The Secret Realm of Time and Space is about to open, and from today onwards, those who are traveling to the Secret Realm can be selected.”
Xiang Yun Tian, Gu Shame Night, and the others, gathered the sect members to discuss.
Regarding the candidates, they already had intentions in their hearts, they were just discussing them one by one.
There were only twenty slots, while the Dao Sect had ten thousand people, so these twenty slots would inevitably have to be carefully selected and deliberated over and over again.
After a long time of brewing, the roster was first formed.
“I have a request.”
At this time, Li Nianxue but spoke, “Chi Yilan must accompany me inside.”
Upon hearing this, Xiang Yun Tian Gu Shame Night and the others, all looked at her in confusion.
……
Good night.
