In a corner of the square, Xuanqing witnessed Xu Wan speaking wildly and attempting to do something against the will of heaven.

He shook his head helplessly and couldn't help but sigh deeply.

That sigh contained deep regret and sympathy for Xu Wan, as if he was heartbroken for the injustice and grievances she had suffered.

On the high platform, Yun Che witnessed Xu Wan being struck by lightning again. He was extremely anxious. With a flick of his spiritual consciousness, he jumped up and rushed straight into the sky.

He just waved his sleeve lightly, and the long sword that Xu Wan was holding tightly disappeared without a trace. At the same time, the countless long swords flying in the sky seemed to be summoned and disappeared into the void.

He held Xu Wan's slender waist tightly, as if afraid that she would leave.

Xu Wan looked up at him, his face full of grievance, his eyes slightly red, and said in a trembling voice: "I really haven't hurt anyone, I'm not wrong."

Yun Che felt a pang in his heart, and he gently stroked her hair, saying softly, "I know, Wan'er, I have wronged you.

But now, you have to go and admit your mistake to Chen Xuan."

Xu Wan's eyes flickered when she heard this, and she hesitated to speak: "I..."

Yun Che's eyes were filled with sadness. He sighed softly and asked, "Do you still want to marry me?

How can I talk to the Emperor of Heaven about our marriage after you've made such a fuss?"

Xu Wan nodded, struggling internally.

After a moment, she slowly raised her head, looking at Yun Che with a determined gaze, her voice carrying a hint of determination: "I understand."

Yun Che was just about to use his skills to fly back to the platform with Xu Wan, but at this moment, a fierce black lightning struck again, with the power to destroy the world.

Yun Che didn't hesitate at all, using his broad back to block the fatal attack. His figure appeared exceptionally resolute in the lightning.

Seeing this, Xu Wan felt an indescribable sadness in her heart, and tears flowed uncontrollably again.

"Mo Yunchen! I'm sorry!"

She murmured softly, each word filled with deep self-blame and regret.

Yun Che let go of Xu Wan's arms and teleported her to the platform with one palm.

Xu Wan fell down on the platform. Jin Xi ran over anxiously, trying to help her up, and asked with concern, "Aunt, are you okay?"

Xu Wan shook her head gently, her face as pale as paper, and said in a trembling voice, "I'm fine."

After saying that, she crawled to Chen Xuan's feet in a panic and began to kowtow heavily, crying, "Foster father, I was wrong! Please punish me!"

Chen Xuan looked down at Xu Wan, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes, and asked in a cold voice: "Where did you go wrong?"

"I shouldn't have cursed the Emperor of Heaven... I didn't mean it... It was the black thunder that controlled me... That's why I said that..."

Xu Wan burst into tears, the thunder in the sky continued to roar, and every sound seemed to strike Xu Wan's heart.

She knew that it was Yun Che who was bearing the punishment for her.

"Get up."

Chen Xuan finally spoke, with a barely perceptible softness in his voice.

Xu Wan kowtowed in gratitude: "Thank you, foster father."

Then he stood up silently, stood beside Chen Xuan, and looked up at the sky again.

Yun Che hovered in the air above the vast sky. He raised his head to gaze at the heavens, his hands cupped respectfully. "Heavenly Emperor, I, Yun Che, have misbehaved with my disciples. The traitor Xu Wan was disrespectful to you. Yun Che is willing to take the punishment."

The sky was covered with dark clouds. Suddenly, a dazzling golden light flashed like the dawn, instantly illuminating the whole world.

The monks below were excited again when they saw this scene. They pointed their fingers to the sky, their faces full of shock and expectation.

"Look, that golden light is flashing. Could it be that the Emperor of Heaven is about to appear?"

"I'm really curious about what the Heavenly Emperor's holy face looks like. Can we get a glimpse of him?"

"This Emperor is actually willing to take the punishment on behalf of his disciple. It's unbelievable."

Some people in the crowd were whispering, their tone full of emotion.

"Yes, the relationship between the Emperor and the cat demon seems to have surpassed that of a master and disciple, making it hard to understand." Another person echoed.

In an instant, a majestic voice suddenly rang out, shaking everyone's heart like thunder: "Emperor Yun Che, you accepted the cat demon as your disciple and tasted the forbidden fruit. This is against the laws of heaven!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the cultivators below were shocked. They could not believe their ears. Such an unethical thing was actually done by the Emperor?

"How could the Emperor do such an unethical thing?" someone exclaimed in a low voice.

"It must be that cat demon who bewitched the Emperor!" Some people pointed the finger of blame at the cat demon Xu Wan.

"Why did the Emperor fall in love with a cat demon?"

There was a lot of discussion in the crowd, and all kinds of speculations and accusations were heard.

On the high platform, Xu Wan's body trembled violently. She looked up at Chen Xuan beside her, only to see that his eyes were full of disappointment and heartache. She shook her head helplessly.

Xu Wan's heart was broken. She fell to her knees with a thud, tears streaming down her face. "Foster father, it was me who seduced the Emperor and broke his vows. Please punish me!"

In the crowd, Mu Qing looked at Xu Wan on the podium, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

She thought to herself: Okay, Xu Wan,

Back then in the Taoist sect, you cried to me about how the Emperor beat you and treated you badly. It turns out you were acting because you were afraid that I would snatch him away from you.

It is really ridiculous that the disciple and the master are making love together!

Above the sky, Yun Che raised his head and closed his eyes. His voice was firm and resolute: "Yun Che is willing to be punished. Please, Heavenly Emperor, punish me!"

A bolt of black lightning suddenly struck, and Xu Wan suddenly appeared in front of Yun Che, blocking the black lightning without hesitation.

Her nine cat tails were chopped off in an instant, and then a ball of fire ignited, burning her to ashes.

Yun Che opened his eyes abruptly and saw that Xu Wan's nine cat tails were instantly severed by the bombardment of black lightning, and then engulfed by raging flames, eventually turning into ashes.

This scene came too suddenly, catching him off guard and leaving him heartbroken.

He covered his head, shook it, and let out a roar.

The dragon's roar echoed between heaven and earth, resounding through the nine heavens.

The deafening sound made the monks below cover their ears. They could not bear the dragon's might and vomited blood.

Xu Wan looked at Yun Che's heartbroken expression, stretched out her hand, and softly called out, "Yun Chen!"

Yun Che looked directly at Xu Wan. Their eyes met, and their hearts were filled with ups and downs.

You should know that these nine cat tails were grown by Xu Wan through hard work day and night and after going through countless thunder tribulations.

They not only represent her cultivation, but also symbolize her perseverance.

Yun Che hugged Xu Wan tightly in his arms, his heart filled with self-blame and guilt.

He felt Xu Wan's body trembling, and watched her gritting her teeth, silently enduring the endless pain brought by the broken tail, with fine beads of sweat on her forehead.

Yun Che's heart was torn as if by a knife. He wished so much that he could bear all this for Xu Wan.

However, at this moment, Xu Wan's body suddenly disappeared from Yun Che's arms.

Yun Che was horrified and looked around, shouting anxiously, "Wan'er! Wan'er!"

His voice echoed in the empty air, full of helplessness and despair.

He was afraid that Xu Wan would leave him forever, and that fear almost suffocated him.

At this moment, Yun Che was pleasantly surprised to find Xu Wan appeared above him.

She spread her hands, closed her eyes and concentrated, with a look of determination and resolve on her face.

She kept muttering, "Emperor of Heaven, Xu Wan is guilty.

I seduced the Emperor and committed an insubordination.

Please punish me. This was not Emperor Zun's own will. Please forgive him, Emperor of Heaven."

At this moment, Yun Che’s heart was deeply touched.

When he saw Xu Wan taking all the blame on herself and even willing to sacrifice her life for him, he knew that he had not loved the wrong person.

Xu Wan's bravery and selflessness made him more determined to love her.

She deserves all his love and care, because he knows that in this world, there is no other woman who is more worthy of his love than Xu Wan.

A bolt of black lightning suddenly struck Xu Wan's delicate body. She immediately vomited blood from her mouth and her body fell down at a rapid speed like a kite with a broken string.

Yun Che was quick-witted and quickly stretched out his arms to hug her tightly, his eyes filled with anxiety and anger.

He raised his head and roared towards the sky, his voice filled with indomitable determination and resolve: "Emperor of Heaven, please stop!

Although she is a cat demon, she has a heart that is kinder and purer than that of humans.

If you chop me down again, I will no longer be worthy of being called the Emperor!

If Wan'er died, I would commit suicide with her without hesitation.

This endless life and supreme glory are as illusory as floating clouds to me.

Without her, what's the point of all this?"

His roar echoed between heaven and earth, as if it could penetrate the thick clouds and reach the ears of the Emperor of Heaven.

And above the sky, the raging black thunder miraculously stopped falling after hearing his roar.

It seemed as if even the sky could feel his deep affection and persistence, and was unwilling to separate the lovers.

The dark clouds dispersed in an instant and the sky became bright again.
