The most melodramatic rebirth in history

Chapter 443 Marriage Contract, Rival in Love [Part Nine]

【9. The Holy and Demonic Marriage: A Confusing Tactic】

The marriage arranged by the Red Lotus Ancestor was dissolved through a martial arts contest. However, Xingzhai, the Demon Prince, remained unperturbed and annihilated the other three Demon Princes under the Red Lotus Ancestor, as well as three quasi-saintesses from the Red Lotus Sect's faction, causing panic within the sect.

The leader of the Red Lotus Cult was about to go to Xingzhai's door in a fit of rage when he was stopped halfway by the Red Lotus Ancestor, who was grieving for his parents. The Ancestor revealed that Xingzhai was actually the direct disciple of Lan Feng, the Grand Elder of the Two Elements Demon Palace.

In light of this, the leader of the Red Lotus Cult saw that the Red Lotus Ancestor intended to pin the blame for Xing Zhai killing several demon children on Leng Ning Shuang, the culprit who caused all of this.

Immediately, she also revealed Leng Ningshuang's identity in detail, which startled the Red Lotus Ancestor so much that he broke out in a cold sweat. He thought to himself: What a close call! I almost kicked a hornet's nest and lost my life.

"Well, let them be! One is the long-lost adopted daughter of Palace Master Ji Qianxue, and the other is the beloved disciple of Grand Elder Lan Feng, whom we cherish. We can't afford to offend either of them!"

"What the Ancestor says is absolutely right! Although you and I are the Ancestor and Leader of the Red Lotus Demon Sect, and both are demigods, in the eyes of the main body, the Two Elements Demon-Slaying Palace, we are nothing more than two tools to be ordered around!"

After saying this, the Crimson Lotus Cult Leader and the Crimson Lotus Ancestor dispersed with gloomy expressions, leaving behind a group of bewildered Crimson Lotus Cult members who sighed in dismay.

That's it!

Feng Ling floated in the void, hearing the entire conversation between the two, and finally learned about Leng Ning Shuang's background and Xing Zhai's origins.

The Crimson Lotus Demonic Sect was originally intended to secretly cultivate demon sons and saintesses for the Two Elements Demonic Palace. Therefore, it was not unreasonable for the higher-ups of the Two Elements Demonic Palace to send some people with connections to compete for the positions of demon son and saintess.

It is worth mentioning that the Red Lotus Demon Sect produced four demon princes through a duel, and these four demon princes were destined to kill each other until only one remained, who could then successfully succeed as the demon prince of the Two Elements Demon Palace.

Similarly, the four quasi-saintesses of the Red Lotus Demon Sect also need to fight each other to determine which saintess will enter the Two Elements Demon Palace.

This Xingzhai Demon Prince is indeed a ruthless person. He not only killed three Demon Princes who were his rivals, but also killed three quasi-saintesses for Leng Ning Shuang.

In this way, Leng Ningshuang rightfully became the sole successor of the Red Lotus Saintess, that is, the Saintess of the Two Elements Demon-Slaying Palace.

Unlike the previous Demon Princes and Saintesses who were timid, Xing Zhai and Leng Ning Shuang came from the Demon Extinction Hall, so going to the Demon Extinction Hall was like going home.

……

Within the magnificent temple grounds of the Two Elements Demon-Slaying Hall.

The place was bustling with noise and music.

A red carpet was laid out, and the scene was unprecedented. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the Holy Maiden Zixuan Fairy and the Demon Prince Xingzhai received the imperial decree from Ji Qianxue, the Palace Master of the Demon-Slaying Palace, as well as numerous rare treasures.

Fairy Zixuan was the title bestowed upon Leng Ningshuang by Ji Qianxue.

After the investiture ceremony, Ji Qianxue summoned Leng Ningshuang for a private audience.

"Master, why did you suffer a qi deviation back then? Also, Aunt Qianxiu was seriously injured by you while trying to save me. Has she recovered yet?"

"Ah, Zixuan, your memory is confused! Back then, it was your Martial Aunt Qianxiu who went mad while practicing her martial arts and kidnapped you to the Red Lotus Sect, almost killing you. Fortunately, I arrived in time, risking serious injury to hold off your Martial Aunt, and with the help of the fleeing sect members, I managed to safely send you out of the Red Lotus Sect. It's just a pity that later, I inquired many times but could not find out your whereabouts. These years, wandering outside, you have suffered so much! Also, your Martial Aunt Qianxiu, due to going mad while practicing her martial arts, slaughtered everything, and was killed by the Demon Ancestor himself fifteen years ago. As her twin sister, I couldn't even spare her life. Every time I think of this, I am filled with unbearable grief!"

Immediately afterwards, Ji Qianxue, the Palace Master of the Demon Palace, changed the subject and inquired about Leng Ningshuang's well-being.

After realizing that Leng Ning Shuang did not seem to have fully recovered her memory, she sighed softly with a complicated expression: "Zi Xuan, you should know that all the Holy Maidens and Demon Princes of the Demon Extinction Hall are destined to become Daoist partners, but if you are the Holy Maiden, your master still hopes that you can follow your heart and bravely break this fate!"

"Yes. Zixuan is willing to listen to Master's teachings!"

Leng Ningshuang's mind raced, and she obediently nodded. Immediately, she suppressed the growing doubts in her heart.

Ji Qianxue once took her in as her adopted daughter and treated her as her own. She would call her "Shuang'er" in a friendly tone and refer to herself as "Mother" with loving eyes.

Therefore, her intuition told her that Ji Qianxue in front of her was not only very abnormal and dangerous, but also untrustworthy, and she should never reveal her true feelings to her.

"The Grand Tournament of Ten Thousand Sects is in four years. You may choose a place to train on your own. You must spare no effort to improve your cultivation. At that time, you will be able to compete with your brother Xingzhai. And if you are ruthless, you might even be able to kill him! Alright, I will also pass on the entire Ice and Snow Flowing Light Technique and the Snow Blowing Divine Skill to you for study. I hope you will not disappoint me. You may leave now!"

After saying that, Ji Qianxue waved her exquisite sleeves listlessly, looking exhausted.

Seeing this, Leng Ningshuang wisely took her leave.

Once she left the heavily guarded Demon Lord's Palace, she breathed a sigh of relief and turned to head towards a familiar yet unfamiliar palace.

Every time a creature hatches, it's a new beginning...

The world is full of chaos and troubles; may the sages and saints offer you a pure land for your souls.
