Xian Ni: The God of Killing Returns, Marries Li Muwan at the Beginning

Chapter 164 I believe that my ideal man is a peerless hero.
Back at the bamboo forest of the Hengyue Sect, it was already sunset. Zhou Ru showed off her newly acquired Xiao Hei to Xiao Bai, and occasionally had Xiao Hei scare Xiao Bai.

However, Zhou Ru still prefers Xiao Bai. Every time she sees Xiao Bai scared, she scolds Xiao Hei for making too loud noise, which makes Xiao Bai feel wronged.

Black Tiger felt somewhat aggrieved. In the forest, it was an absolutely formidable force, but here, its status was even lower than that of a Foundation Establishment stage tiger demon. This was simply too much bullying.

In the quiet room.

As Lin Che savored the dishes prepared by Li Muwan, he said softly, "I plan to leave Vermilion Bird Star in half a month. I'll leave things here to you."

This time, Li Muwan did not show any surprise. After all, she knew in her heart that her husband was now the strongest being on Vermilion Bird Star. If he wanted to break through his realm, he would have to go to other star regions to obtain resources.

Vermilion Bird Star was originally an abandoned cultivation star, and with the Immortal Remnant Clan having been reborn and choosing to seize half of its territory, the cultivators' lives will not be so easy from now on.

Fortunately, Lin Che had instructed the Immortal Remnant Clan not to harm the cultivators of Vermilion Bird Star at will; otherwise, with the current strength of the Immortal Remnant Clan, countless cultivators on Vermilion Bird Star would have been killed or injured.

Li Muwan picked up a piece of beef and placed it in Lin Che's bowl, saying softly, "I believe in you, because I believe that my beloved is a peerless hero."

Lin Che's right hand paused for a moment. He looked at Li Muwan, whose eyes were red, and understood that Wan'er was reluctant to let him leave.

But Lin Che had no choice. If he didn't do this, the energy within Vermilion Bird Star wouldn't be enough to support his breakthrough to the Nirvana Realm, and he also wouldn't be able to transform the immortal power within his body into even more powerful immortal essence.

Lin Che put down his chopsticks, gently rubbed Li Muwan's smooth and delicate cheeks, and said, "Wan'er."

Li Muwan grasped Lin Che's large hand and smiled, but to Lin Che, that smile was a silent cry...

…………

After a tender night, Lin Che looked at the delicate body in his arms with a gentle expression, and then hugged Li Muwan tightly.

Li Muwan seemed to sense her husband's presence as well. She slightly opened her eyes, looked at her husband in front of her, and said with a blush, "Husband, do you... still want more?"

Lin Che gently kissed Li Muwan's forehead and said, "Rest for a while. I'm going to reinforce the national defense array within Zhao's territory. That way, I can rest easy after I leave."

Li Muwan nodded obediently, and perhaps because she was too tired last night, she soon fell into a deep sleep again.

After Lin Che finished dressing, he turned around and arrived above the Hengyue Sect. He originally intended to strengthen the energy of the restrictions here, but a figure appeared silently in the air.

A tall, long-haired man, dressed in a thin shirt, walked towards them step by step.

The person's steps were not fast, but Lin Che felt as if he could shrink the distance between them. One moment the person was far away, and the next second he was in front of Lin Che.

Lin Che looked at the long-haired giant in front of him and bowed slightly, saying, "Junior greets senior?"

The long-haired giant stopped, put one hand behind his back, revealed his white teeth, and smiled gently: "I didn't expect to see someone from the Dao Realm in this small, abandoned cultivation star. I am Mo Zhi, and who are you?"

"Lin Che".

At this moment, Lin Che recognized the other party's identity. After all, throughout history, the only person named Mo Zhi on Vermilion Bird Star was an envoy from the Cultivation Alliance. On the surface, he was a disciple of the overlord of the Izumo Kingdom, an eighth-level cultivation country in Kunxu, but in reality, his true master was the Dao Gu National Preceptor, Tian Yunzi.

He was ordered by his master to be stationed on Vermilion Bird Star, serving as the envoy of the Cultivation Alliance on Vermilion Bird Star.

Mo Zhi's cultivation level has reached the Great Celestial Venerable level, making him a top existence in the cultivation world. He has an extremely high level of control and application of the power of heaven and earth, possessing the ability to destroy the world and making his words law.

"You should know my identity. I saw you kill Blood Fiend not long ago, and I was surprised that you actually possess a high-level Void Treasure."

With one hand behind his back, Mo Zhi strode away into the distance, saying, "Throughout history, the path of cultivation has been fraught with peril. The origin of all things is predetermined, but you alone... are not on the compass of destiny."

Lin Che placed one hand behind his back and gestured for him to enter. He then led Mo Zhi to the Huai River Bamboo Pavilion of the Hengyue Sect.

Mo Zhi sat down in the chair, took the tea that Lin Che handed him, and smiled slightly, saying, "Don't be nervous. I'm not interested in your high-level Void Treasure. I'm just a little curious as to why you possess a treasure of this level."

"Logically speaking, your master, True Man Huanglong, shouldn't have this ability either."

Lin Che shrugged, cupped his hands towards Mo Zhi's position, and replied, "This is a secret of mine, and I hope you won't take offense, senior."

Mo Zhi chuckled, stroked his goatee, and said calmly, "You don't need to call me senior. If you don't mind, just call me Brother Mo Zhi."

Lin Che nodded.

"In that case, please forgive my intrusion."

Mo Zhi nodded and smiled at Lin Che, "Never mind, what's forgotten is forgotten. My name is Mo Zhi. May I ask how you should address me?"

Lin Che gently touched his forehead, but still answered, "Lin Che."

Mo Zhi took a sip of tea, and amidst the rising steam, he gazed at the swaying bamboo shadows outside the pavilion. Suddenly, he asked, "Brother Lin Che, do you know what the Dao is?"

Before the words were even finished, his fingertips traced the rim of the cup, and a watermark suddenly solidified into a winding river in mid-air, shimmering faintly in the twilight.

"Like this cup of water, it is stagnant when confined in the cup, but it becomes vibrant when flowing freely in the world. This is the way of choosing what to keep and what to discard."

Lin Che's gaze narrowed slightly, and his spiritual energy stirred within his sleeve. The bamboo leaves outside the pavilion moved without wind, layer upon layer, forming a vortex:
"What Brother Mo Zhi said reminds me of the Immortal Remnant Clan of Vermilion Bird Star. They were obsessed with reclaiming their homeland, but nearly caused the entire star field to be devastated. If the Dao involves choices, shouldn't we find a balance between upholding and letting go?"

Lin Che flicked his finger at the bamboo leaf vortex, which suddenly exploded, turning into countless emerald green stars.

A hint of appreciation flashed in Mo Zhi's eyes. He then put down his teacup with a refined and easygoing manner, raised his hand and made a grasping motion. The starlight points actually re-converged into a Tai Chi diagram, with the phantom images of Lin Che and Li Muwan appearing in the black and white fish eyes respectively.

"The people and things you care about are both ties and shackles. If one day, the heavens demand that you choose between breaking through and protecting, what will you do?"

In the Tai Chi diagram, the black and white colors began to churn violently, and Li Muwan's illusory figure gradually blurred. Even the entire Hengyue Sect seemed like an ant before the Great Dao.
