Dusk Returns to the Ruined Building

Chapter 1087 Ruoshui's Painting Delivered to Qingxue

Even heroes have their limits, and love is a powerful force; the ethereal and pure Mu Qingxue ultimately descended to the mortal realm.

Yangtan Fog Valley.

Mu Qingxue slowly finished her practice, her brows furrowed in disapproval.

"Yichen, something's not right. I remember the Demonic Spirit clearly entered your bloodline, so why can't I detect it at all?"

Shen Yichen stood up, put his hands behind his back, and gazed into the distance.

"I'm also wondering, has my third heart actually formed?"

Shen Yichen couldn't find his heart at all. To be precise, he couldn't find the Bloodline Heart or the Demonic Heart. He only had one Bloodline Heart.

"That bastard Hong Zaiyu is too fast!"

Mu Qingxue was furious. Hong Zaiyu knew all about her shameful affairs. Even if Shen Yichen didn't silence her, she would, even if she couldn't beat Hong Zaiyu.

"Qingxue, I want to join the Wulang Academy. I know too little about the affairs of the martial world and the methods of cultivation. If I knew more, I wouldn't have been tricked by Hong Zaiyu twice!"

Shen Yichen was still confused. What was enveloping him and Mu Qingxue? Was it the Cloud Void Extreme Deception Technique? It didn't seem so, as his technique hadn't even been activated at the time.

"You can't go to Wulang Academy; they don't accept people from the Ji family or the Ten Thousand Demons Sect!"

"Then I'll sneak in. I'm going to Tianyi Pavilion to read books, not to become an apprentice!"

Mu Qingxue hugged Shen Yichen from behind and whispered:

"I will go with you!"

"Are you really going to wander the world with me?"

Mu Qingxue did not respond. Love can make people lose their minds for a moment, but there will always be a time when they sober up. She accompanied Shen Yichen to wander the world, how could the Ji family and the Ten Thousand Demons Sect let the two of them have their way?

"The only places I can be with you are Yanquan and beyond the borders!"

"That's enough, I don't think I'll be unlucky anymore!"

Shen Yichen obtained Mu Qingxue's person, but she wasn't at the Divine Mountain Heavenly Pool. He felt he had already changed his destiny.

"Then let's..."

Mu Qingxue's heart stirred again.

"Let's go to Luowu Ancient City!"

"Dream on! I'm the queen, and I call the shots!"

Mu Qingxue embraced Shen Yichen and jumped into the hot spring.

"Help!"

Shouting for help won't do you any good!

"Spare my life!"

"Begging for mercy won't do you any good!"

"This is murder!"

"That's called murdering one's husband!"

……

Shen Yichen and Mu Qingxue emerged from Yangtan Mist Valley at noon on the second day. Shen Yichen carried Mu Qingxue on his back, and it seemed that the person who murdered her husband had been killed in return.

Mu Qingxue traveled thousands of miles to the Nine-Story Tower and then trekked through mountains and rivers to meet the sword. She had never felt so exhausted before, and didn't even want to walk anymore.

"They must be getting impatient!"

"Uncle must be panicking!"

"Come on, let's go eat some delicious food first, I'm starving!"

"You're still not full? You should go find another woman. I really can't take it anymore!"

Shen Yichen stumbled, and the two of them almost fell. Mu Qingxue, who was on his back, didn't even lift her eyes.

Shen Yichen carried Mu Qingxue for a long time but still couldn't get out of the mountain. Hong Zaiyu was very careful because Yangtan Wugu was too deep and remote.

As the setting sun cast its light upon the mountains, Shen Yichen stood on a ridge, drenched in sweat. He finally saw the ancient city of Luowu in the distance, but it was still very far away. He had to go down the mountain to find a carriage to continue his journey.

Mu Qingxue remained asleep.

"Qingxue, wake up, wake up, let's rest for a bit!"

Mu Qingxue slowly opened her eyes.

"Yichen, where are we? Why are you sweating so much?"

Shen Yichen was speechless!

Mu Qingxue stood on the mountain ridge, gazing at the ancient city of Luowu in the distance.

"Yi Chen, have you considered why the people of Luowu Ancient City want to kill you?"

Mu Qingxue also guessed that the old woman was from Luowu Ancient City.

"The Chosen One, I don't even understand what that means myself, and yet people are already killing and saving others, how interesting!"

"The people of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect might also try to kill you. The person who can change the course of the world comes from the Ji family, and there will be many people in the world who will not accept him. Your path will be even more difficult!"

"Follow your heart, follow your nature, follow fate. I can't just hold a knife and say, 'None of you are allowed to kill me.' Instead, I want to take a knife and kill everyone who wants to kill me!"

Shen Yichen leaned against the rock, looking indifferent.

Mu Qingxue's expression, on the other hand, was somewhat solemn.

"Alright, Qingxue, stop thinking about it, it's no use. I'll show you something!"

Shen Yichen took out a painting from the Blood Bone Glass, which was the portrait of the woman in the Dubei Temple.

Mu Qingxue asked softly:

"what is this?"

Shen Yichen slowly opened the painting.

At first, Mu Qingxue felt a sense of familiarity, but when the woman's eyes in the painting were revealed, Mu Qingxue exclaimed in surprise:

"is her!"

Mu Qingxue really didn't expect that the painting Shen Yichen took out was of the same person as the portrait of the woman in the Nine-Story Immortal Pavilion. Although the clothes and posture were different, the face was exactly the same.

Especially those eyes, how could Mu Qingxue possibly mistake them? She almost died because of those eyes back then!

"Do you really know her? Is the connection between us, as fellow disciples, due to her?"

Mu Qingxue did not respond because she did not know.

"She is Shan Ruoshui. Her name appears in the portrait in the Nine-Story Tower. You come from Guanxing Mountain. You really haven't heard of this name before?"

Shen Yichen shook his head.

Where should I inquire about this person?

"The Nine-Story Tower, I think there should be clues there, and, and..."

Mu Qingxue hesitated. She felt that her mother must be related to this woman. The soul power in her body originated from her mother, but the power was closely related to Shan Ruoshui's eyes and the grave under the willow tree.

Shen Yichen turned to look at Mu Qingxue.

"What else?"

"I think my mother must be related to her!"

"Still no clue about your mother?"

Mu Qingxue shook her head.

“My mother should be in Yanquan. She also went to Wanfenglin. The reason I am in Wanfenglin is because I am walking the path she once walked. I didn’t expect to meet you first!”

"Let's go to Luowu Ancient City and ask around to see if there are any sects or families with the surname Li nearby. I want to know about the history of Guanxing Mountain!"

Shen Yichen rolled up the painting. He originally wanted to take back the Blood Bone Glaze, but he caught a glimpse of Mu Qingxue's eyes, which clearly showed that she wanted the painting.

Shen Yichen thought for a moment.

"Qingxue, you can have this painting. Since you are her successor, it doesn't seem appropriate for me to keep it!"

"Then I won't stand on ceremony. It's really inappropriate for a grown man like you to carry a portrait of a woman!"

Mu Qingxue took the painting, but in reality, she snatched it away.

Mu Qingxue also believed that this painting should belong to her. Although she had inherited power within her, she did not know how to use it. The painting in the Nine-Story Tower had helped her, and Mu Qingxue felt that this painting would definitely help her as well.

Shen Yichen paused for a moment, then thought of the string of Buddhist prayer beads, which he felt should also be given to Mu Qingxue.

Shen Yichen did not give the Buddhist beads to Mu Qingxue. Master Tanxiu said that it was his destiny, and the name Dubeishi was too sad. Shen Yichen did not want Mu Qingxue to be involved in the karma.

Even if it's given to Mu Qingxue, it will be after he has figured it out.

Before Shen Yi and Mu Qingxue had even left the deep mountains, it got dark. The two of them headed out of the mountains overnight. Having experienced the Northern Meng Mountain incident, Shen Yi was truly afraid.

Shen Yichen and Mu Qingxue didn't know how long they had been walking when Shen Yichen suddenly sensed a familiar aura. It was very far away, but it was really special because the sword energy seemed to come from him.

Shen Yichen pulled Mu Qingxue to a stop, murmuring:

"Could it be her?"

Shen Yichen sensed the sword energy from the techniques Wan Ning had taught him, and he guessed it was Jian Chenqing.

"what happened?"

Shen Yichen turned to look at Mu Qingxue, but he did not respond.

Shen Yichen was considering whether or not to go and take a look!

Even a day as husband and wife is worth a hundred days of kindness. Shen Yichen and Jian Chenqing had a one-night stand, and he decided to go and see what was going on.

"Qingxue, I sense a familiar presence. Let's go check it out!"

Mu Qingxue is a queen, yet she obeys Shen Yichen in everything.

The two people flew south, heading deep into the mountains, their backs to the ancient city of Luowu.

Having survived a life-or-death ordeal, Shen Yichen has returned to the martial world. Each accident is a step towards growth. Shen Yichen himself did not realize how important it was to temper his bloodline, which was even more important than his meridians.

If his bloodline isn't tempered, it's like a deadly sword hanging over Shen Yichen's head. Yan Quan has something that can stimulate the power of his bloodline—oh, it's the power of his Bloodline!
