In the martial arts world, he threatens Yin Susu from the start.

The fierce battle in the sky exceeded his expectations.

He dared not reveal his presence in the slightest, lest he attract the attention of both sides in the conflict.

The fierce battle is raging in the sky.

Two figures, one in black and one in white, stood facing each other.

The white is dazzling, the black is deep and mysterious.

Gu Hanyuan smiled faintly:

"almost."

A strange light flickered in Wu Xingyun's indifferent pupils across from him.

"not enough."

As he spoke, a tiny, shimmering golden figure appeared in his eyes.

The aura locked onto Gu Hanyuan, who was calmly smiling.

Chapter 624: Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, you're wrong, I just can't bear to part with Yun'er.

This was the first time Gu Hanyuan had personally experienced being locked onto by "Sword Twenty-Three: Annihilation of Heaven and Earth".

The surrounding space was frozen, and the faintly emanating sword energy stung the skin.

Wu Xingyun did not use the "Sword Twenty-Three of Sentimental Heaven and Earth" that she had comprehended, but the "Sword Twenty-Three of Annihilation of Heaven and Earth" that could kill in one strike.

A faint smile still lingered on Gu Hanyuan's lips.

"Yun'er, are you going to kill me?"

His words were incredibly calm, as if he were casually asking, "Have you eaten?"

The pupils on Wu Xingyun's mask suddenly trembled and struggled.

After a moment, the rich became calm and still.

He said in a cold and indifferent tone:

"It is the will of Heaven."

Gu Hanyuan's voice was mocking and playful.

"Fate? It's nothing but a loser who can't afford to play and ends up playing himself."

Those indifferent, emotionless eyes flickered upon hearing this, revealing a hint of anger as they said:

Those who defy Heaven shall die!

Having said that, the golden figure in its eyes shone even brighter.

The previously blurry image gradually became clearer.

However, the golden figure's appearance was completely different from Wu Xingyun's.

Their only commonality is that they are both stunningly beautiful, like celestial beings.

Although the woman was not clearly visible amidst the dazzling golden light.

But this was the third person Gu Hanyuan saw whose looks could be rated 100 points.

She is a beauty on par with Huang Rong and Wu Xingyun.

However, compared to the beautiful or gentle Huang Rong, or the elegant or proud Wu Xingyun, the woman's indifferent, cold, and solemn temperament inevitably detracted from the beauty.

However, this posture is precisely what most arouses a man's desire to conquer.

A hint of fervor couldn't help but flash in Gu Hanyuan's eyes.

The woman, in the form of a tiny golden figure, frowned slightly.

He said calmly:

"Mortal, your eyes are still so repulsive."

Gu Hanyuan's eyes flickered slightly upon hearing this, and a playful smile appeared on his lips.

He said meaningfully:

"Still? Back in Qianqing Palace, Yun'er was indeed the one who resisted you, wasn't she? How did it feel? Did the taste suit your taste?"

The woman's stern and solemn expression finally broke down.

He shouted in embarrassment and anger:

"Shameless mortals indulging in desires!"

She suddenly paused, her expression turning slightly grim, and asked:

"Mortal, did you know it was me back then?"

Wu Xingyun's reaction at that time was completely different from usual.

Even when the wake-up service was activated in the morning, the baby was still greedily demanding more.

When she went to Qianqing Palace to serve Gu Hanyuan again, she showed obvious resistance and unfamiliarity.

As for Gu Hanyuan's attempt to take advantage of the situation, the woman hid from him.

That's why Wu Xingyun was so confused afterward.

That's a reaction to missing a piece of memory.

Gu Hanyuan said mockingly:

"Stop calling me a mortal. I have a name. Besides, you haven't told me your name yet. Isn't that incredibly rude?"

The woman said dismissively:

"I know your name is Gu Hanyuan, but you are just yet another one who defies fate. An outsider on the chessboard of all living beings. As for my name, you, who are still wandering in the lower realm, are not qualified to know it."

Gu Hanyuan frowned upon hearing this.

The woman revealed a lot of information.

Those who defy the heavens, the chessboard of all living beings, and the lower realms are all worthy of deep reflection.

It seems we've glimpsed just the tip of the iceberg of this world's secrets.

However, this is not the time to think about this too much.

Gu Hanyuan said with amusement:

"Are you the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden?"

The woman was shocked to hear this.

"how do you know!"

Although Gu Hanyuan was only guessing, her reaction at this moment was tantamount to admitting that she was the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden.

"The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden is appointed by Heaven. Simply put, she's a busybody. Am I right?"

Gu Hanyuan's eyes flickered slightly.

The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady is a goddess in ancient mythology.

She is also known as Xuan Nu, or commonly referred to as Jiu Tian Niang Niang, Xuan Pin Shi, Jiu Tian Xuan Nu Niang Niang, Jiu Tian Xuan Mu Tian Zun, Jiu Tian Xuan Yang Yuan Nu Sheng Mu Da Di Xuan Pin Shi.

She was a goddess in ancient Chinese mythology who taught military strategy, and was later revered by Taoism as a high-ranking female immortal and a goddess of divination.

She holds a lofty and prominent position in folk beliefs, being a righteous goddess who is well-versed in military strategy and magical powers, and is destined to help heroes eliminate evil and violence.

Therefore, she holds an important position in the Taoist belief in immortals, and the origin of this belief can be traced back to before the Qin Dynasty.

The *Yunji Qiqian* states: "The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady is a disciple of the Holy Mother Yuanjun, the teacher of the Yellow Emperor. The Nine Heavens represent the element of Qian (☰), which is strong and active. The direction of the Nine Heavens can be used for deploying troops and arranging formations." Scriptures such as the *Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady's True Scripture for Healing the Heart and Eliminating Karma* have been passed down to educate people.

Like Nuwa, goddesses such as the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady have left their mark on many worlds.

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden swordsmanship technique before them, capable of unleashing the "Twenty-Three Swords of Annihilation and Destruction," is of extremely high skill.

The most likely candidate is the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden from the Legend of Sword and Fairy series, who instructed the ancestors of the Qionghua Sect in the "Man and Sword as One" sword technique in a dream...

This also fits her meddlesome nature, even to the point of personally descending to the mortal realm.

"You mortal, how dare you insult me!"

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden broke down again, her almond-shaped eyes glaring angrily at Gu Hanyuan, this mortal who had no sense of reverence.

I always find it hard to remain indifferent in front of him, and I don't know if it's because of the lingering sensation and taste in his mouth when his spirit possesses me.

Gu Hanyuan said sarcastically and indifferently:

"I, Gu, have already insulted even the heavens, let alone you?"

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden was taken aback upon hearing this, and said with a self-deprecating smile:

"That's true. Most people who defy Heaven are like that; they show no respect for Heaven."

After making fun of herself, she seemed to have regained her composure.

I decided to ask the questions that were on my mind before we faced off.

"Gu Hanyuan, when exactly did you see through me?"
