Later on, Dongfang Chen tried to find a way to investigate Bai Zhixi's background. If he did not mislead Dongfang Chen and save him, Dongfang Chen was afraid that he would no longer have a position in his heart.

However, the truth would eventually come to light. Dongfang Chen finally found out Bai Zhixi's identity and saw her true face.

At that time, she saw Dongfang Chen's gaze that was as gentle as a lily in winter, tender and considerate to the point that it made people jealous.

But how could she allow someone she had thought about for more than ten years to fall in love with someone else?

The empress's seat could only be hers.

She lowered her body and carefully approached Bai Zhixi, finally gaining her trust.

When she found out that the person Bai Zhixi loved wasn't Crown Prince, but the clan's next of kin who had been ill for ten years, she rejoiced several times in her heart. She let go of all the knots in her heart and calmly accepted Bai Zhixi as her friend.

However, Heaven's Will was messing with her. During that trip to the Jade Cloud Temple, she had personally witnessed Dongfang Chen's confession to Bai Zhixi, and unexpectedly, Bai Zhixi's heart was moved.

She understood that as long as Bai Zhixi lived, Dongfang Chen would not be able to let go of her position as Empress.

She would never allow such a thing to happen.

Fortunately, the heavens were on her side and she was ambushed by witch church that day. Taking advantage of the moment Bai Zhixi was blind, she pushed her over thirty thousand meters away from the cliff.

But unfortunately, Dongfang Chen found out, and her heart jumped out of her chest as well. Because she knew that Dongfang Chen would definitely save her, and he definitely wouldn't let a river and mountains fall into his hands.

Bai Zhixi could only hide within the bottomless abyss, becoming a lonely ghost after rotting corpses for a hundred years.

Memories of the past appeared in her mind along with the wind. She hated herself so much, why didn't she make a decision back then, and just kill Bai Zhixi.

He also hated that he was not as good as Ye Xiao, so much so that he didn't even know who the evil creature in his stomach belonged to.

Dongfang Chen saw the endless viciousness and coldness on her face that had penetrated deep into her marrow. She had long lost the innocence of a young lady, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that she was an evil spirit that came from hell.

He actually felt disgusted in his heart. He looked away from his eyes, as if looking at them would dirty his eyes.

”You are nothing compared to her. In this life, I, Dongfang Chen, will never marry you as my wife. Shangguan Jingyan, your feelings for me, at this time, no longer have any guilt. Obediently return and bring your clan's head back to face my royal father! ”

Dongfang Chen looked down at her condescendingly. His eyes were filled with coldness, and cold words flowed out from his mouth. Then, without a trace of warmth, he said,

”Men, take good care of princess, we will set out for the capital tomorrow!”

After coldly glancing at the pale-faced Shangguan Jingyan, other than the cold killing intent in his eyes, he decisively turned around and left.

Hearing that, Shangguan Jingyan felt as if his head was struck by lightning, his eyes were dull as he sat on the bed expressionlessly.

Her heart felt as if it had been cut by countless blades. Her eyes were filled with tears from the pain, and her tears fell down like pearls with broken strings. Soon, the thin blanket on her hands was soaked.

The night was as cold as water.

The bright moon hung in the sky, quietly watching this peaceful land.

Cold swallows came from the flickering candlelight in the room, painting the quiet night with a different color.

August 22nd. Today was the seventh day after the Martial Arts Competition.

In the morning, the dark clouds descended from the sky, covering this area in silver white as if it had been dyed with ink. The cold wind blew away some of the fallen leaves, blowing them into every corner of the Palace.

At the entrance of the forbidden area, Crooked Palm Wind had a dark look on his face as he stood there with the hundreds of disciples of the Plum Shadow Palace. The snowstorm was merciless as it slapped her face, and the anger in his eyes was growing stronger and stronger, as if he wanted to melt this world of ice and snow.

Over the past few hundred years, the Plum Shadow Palace had always been covered in ice and snow, but no snowstorm had ever visited like today.

Suddenly, a dazzling red ray of light shot straight into the depths of the sky from the forbidden grounds. Suddenly, a dazzling red ray of light shot straight into the depths of the clouds.

As the fireworks fell, the Plum Blossom Palace started shaking.

Qu Shun Si frowned as if he had thought of something. Suddenly, his pupils dilated with an inconceivable fear.

She struck the copper mirror in front of the forbidden area with her palm. A bright white profound energy flowed from her fingertips and lingered around the copper mirror, using it to control the sudden shaking.

A moment later, an irresistible force ruthlessly sucked Qu Zongfeng's profound energy, as if it wanted to suck her into the endless abyss in the copper mirror.

”Palm …”

Behind her, Hong Mei saw that her face was pale and covered in beads of sweat. The corner of her mouth was dripping with blood.

Shocked, he also placed his palm on her shoulder, losing his profound energy to her, and blocked the terrifying power in the copper mirror.

Zi Li and the rest, who were standing behind her, immediately lost their Profound Spirit Qi to Qu Zun Si in order to fight against the terrifying force.

In the Forest of Death that was right outside the palace, Fu Lingtian led a lot of martial artists to step majestically on the grass of the Forest of Death.

Infuriated, the animals in the Forest of Death began to flee in all directions.
