Nonsense! Master is not my wife.

"Didn't Master tell you?" Xueyue asked.

The young man in white shook his head slightly: "I asked my master, but she didn't tell me."

Xueyue was silent for a while: "I haven't heard Master say that either."

The young man in white nodded slowly, then continued to talk to himself, "Although Master never told me the reason, during the years when Master taught me the skills, as my cultivation became stronger, I gradually noticed something strange about Master."

Xueyue blinked her ice-blue eyes: "What did you find?"

"Soul," the young man in white uttered two words.

"During those years, Yin Ci gradually shifted the focus of her practice from the Way of the Sword to the Way of the Soul. In order to help her, I also practiced some Soul Arts."

"It was at that time that I vaguely sensed something strange about Master."

The young man in white looked dazed: "Master's soul is three-tenths less than that of an ordinary person."

When the master was teaching her the skills, the young man in white put his palms together with hers, and the spiritual energy in their bodies circulated, allowing her to glimpse some of the secrets of the soul.

After hearing what the young man in white said, Xueyue remained silent for a long time.

"Maybe..."

After an unknown amount of time, she spoke softly, "Master must have been hurt in the spirit."

The young man in white nodded silently.

Not long after, he stood up and said goodbye.

"Senior sister, I'm going back. I'll come to see you next time."

"Well, come back sometime."

Xueyue stood at the door, watching his back disappear at the end of her sight.

As soon as the young man in white returned to Aoxue Palace, Xuan Su came over.

"Master, I'm back."

She was exhausted and her face was full of fatigue.

Over the years, the three disciples of the young man in white have helped him a lot in various aspects. Among them, the thoughtful Xuan Su has been running around the Northern Territory for Xuelingxu to discuss alliances with major sects and dynasties.

Her original idea was to unite the major sects and dynasties in the Northern Territory and establish a non-war pact to restrain the cultivators in the Northern Territory, stop the war, and jointly welcome the great event of the disappearance of the five-territory boundary wall in the near future.

That's right!

The five-domain boundary wall is really about to disappear.

Over the years, the strange phenomena of the Five Realms Boundary Wall have become more and more obvious, and nearby cultivators often sense earthquakes coming from the direction of the boundary wall. As time goes by, the aura of the Five Realms Boundary Wall is gradually weakening.

Several powerful cultivators even declared that within three years, the boundaries of the five domains would all disappear!

When these words came out, the Northern Territory was shocked!

The major sects and dynasties are gearing up for battle, and countless demonic monks are ready to make a move. The situation in the monk world in the Northern Territory is becoming increasingly turbulent and unstable.

As the prophesied time approaches, conflicts in various parts of the Northern Territory are becoming more frequent, ranging from life-and-death duels between cultivators to confrontations and wars between sects and dynasties.

The number of monks who died and the number of forces that were destroyed in the past few years far exceeds the total number over the past thousand years.

It is also because of this that Xuan Su has encountered obstacles everywhere over the years.

No sect dynasty was willing to sign an alliance with Xuelingxu. They were all afraid and speculated that this was some kind of conspiracy of Xuelingxu.

Of course, it cannot be said that there were none. During this period, many sects and dynasties wanted to rely on the prestige of Xuelingxu, but every time this happened, a mysterious force would come out to interfere, or even threaten them secretly, causing those sects and dynasties to be afraid and could only politely refuse Xuansu.

Xuan Su went from being full of ambitions at the beginning to gradually becoming disappointed, and even began to doubt whether his idea was an impossible delusion.

Even so, she still did not give up, and continued to travel among the major sects and dynasties, hoping to find like-minded people.

Looking at his apprentice's expression, the young man in white had already guessed the outcome of her trip.

He did not ask, but said gently: "We'll talk about other things later, you go and rest for a while."

Xuan Su shook his head slightly and said nothing.

But her eyes suddenly turned red, and then two lines of tears rolled down.

The young man in white was startled and quickly stepped forward: "What's wrong with you?"

Xuan Su suddenly stepped forward, stretched out her hands and hugged him tightly, buried her cheek in his chest, and cried silently.

Feeling the disciple's trembling body in his arms, the young man in white reached out and gently stroked her hair, and asked softly:

"Xuan Su, did someone bully you?"

Xuan Su shook his head in his arms.

"So what happened to you?"

The young man in white spoke in a gentle tone, "Don't keep your unhappiness in your heart, talk to Master."

"Master..."

It seemed that the words of the young man in white touched Xuan Su. She slowly raised her head and stared at her master with her red eyes from crying:

"Disciple... Is my disciple very naive?"

The young man in white had gentle eyes and said softly, "Why do you say that?"

Xuan Su said in a muffled voice: "None of them trust me, and some even say behind my back that I have ulterior motives and want to frame them."

They, obviously, are referring to the sects and dynasties in the Northern Territory.

"They...they said it was fine if they were disciples,"

As Xuan Su spoke, a hint of anger gradually appeared on his face: "But they actually said bad things about you, Master!"

Thinking of the hateful faces of those monks when they spoke ill of his master behind his back, Xuan Su felt endless anger in his heart and even wanted to teach them a lesson several times.

Chapter 323: Suppressing the Demonic Path

"Xuan Su,"

The young man in white listened to her words, but he was not angry. Instead, he said in a gentle tone: "Don't be influenced by them, and don't have any scruples. Just do what you want in your heart."

Xuan Su looked confused when he heard this: "But in this case, wouldn't it be more difficult to form an alliance?"

The young man in white shook his head slowly: "You can never wake up a group of people pretending to be asleep."

"The reason these forces are unwilling to sign an alliance with us is because they want to fight to the death."

"A desperate fight?" Xuan Su was even more confused.

"Well, a desperate fight,"

The young man in white looked at the thoughtful disciple in front of him and explained slowly, "In the past, if these forces did not have the support of the top sects, how could they dare to refuse the invitation from Xuelingxu? They would even come forward on their own initiative without us asking."

"But things are different now. The boundary wall of the five regions is about to dissipate, and the four top sects in the Northern Region are no longer the mountains that suppress their hearts."

"The chaotic times are about to begin, and the cultivators from the other four regions are watching with eager eyes. These people want to fight to the death, carve out a bloody path in the chaotic times, and become the new top sect."

Xuan Su looked dazed.

The young man in white reached out and ruffled her hair: "You are still young, but Master believes that your dream will come true in the future."

Xuan Su murmured, "Really... can it be achieved?"

"OK,"

The young man in white looked into her eyes, with flames burning in his eyes: "Xuan Su, if you want others to believe in you, you have to believe in yourself first!"

The confusion in Xuan Su's eyes gradually disappeared, and he nodded heavily: "Yes!"

"Then go and rest first and have a good sleep." The young man in white said softly.

After receiving some comfort from her master, Xuan Su felt much better. This time she did not refuse and went back to rest.

After Xuan Su left, the young man in white called over an elder who had returned with Xuan Su.

"Market Master."

The elder bowed respectfully.

Although the peak masters and elders expressed strong opposition when they first heard that the previous village master wanted to pass the position of village master to a man.

There was even a peak master who threatened that if the position of ruins master was really passed on to a man, their lineage would leave Xueling Ruins and set up their own mountain sect!

Upon hearing such outrageous words, not many peak masters and elders felt angry at the time, because they were equally furious in their hearts.

The founder of Xuelingxu once set down a family precept that no men would be accepted.

However, the former village owner rejected all objections and accepted the young man in white with a tough attitude.

This action caused dissatisfaction among many peak masters and elders, but because she was the master of the ruins and the strongest cultivator in Xueling Ruins, she endured it.

But when they learned that the Lord of the Ruins had actually given up the chance to ascend to become an immortal and passed all his cultivation to that man, they were furious to the extreme!

How can you be so confused!!

At that time, the peak master who was somewhat impatient even wanted to go out and kill the young man in white and grind him into ashes!

But when they learned about Master Cang Xuan's prophecy from the ruins master, they all fell silent.

The sacrifices of both the Lord of the Ruins and Master Cang Xuan were extremely heavy, which also made them feel guilty.

The Lord of the Ruins said at last: "Give him a chance, he won't let you down."

This time, the heads and elders of each peak did not refuse, because Lord Xu and Master Cang Xuan both paid the price of their lives for the young man in white.

This is an opportunity for the young man in white, but also an opportunity for them and the five regions.

And the fact was just as the landlord had expected. After the young man in white took office as the landlord, he not only did everything himself and gave almost his all, but he was also a humble person and spoke to everyone in a gentle tone and with a sincere attitude.

His every move was watched by the elders of each peak, which made them gradually let go of their prejudices and begin to truly respect the new master of the ruins.

The young man in white said in a warm voice: "Did you encounter any difficulties from the monks during this trip?"

It was not the first time that Xuan Su went out to look for allies. The young man in white knew that even if she went out under the name of Xuelingxu, she would definitely be bullied. Those old foxes were very shrewd, and even if they didn't say anything, they would trip her up in secret.

The young man in white never asked Xuan Su this question once, because he didn't want to dampen his disciple's enthusiasm.

Xuan Su never took the initiative to talk about it to her master because she didn't want to make him worry.

But every time Xuan Su came back, the young man in white would ask the elders who were traveling with her and find out what had happened.

This elder had been questioned by the young man in white several times, so she was well prepared and immediately said:

"Reporting to the Lord of the Village, we were attacked several times during this outing. Although no one was killed, many elders and disciples were injured."

"Is anyone seriously injured?" The young man in white narrowed his eyes slightly.

Now those forces have become so bold that they dare to attack the monks of Xuelingxu?

"That's not true,"

The elder shook her head slightly. After hesitating for a while, she still said, "It's just... Elder Xuan Su was also injured."

The young man in white frowned. No wonder he felt vaguely that Xuan Su's aura was a little strange just now.

"Or are they the Thirteen Hidden Clans, the Hupo Sect, and the Lanjian Villa?" he asked.

The elder nodded, then shook his head: "There are shadows of these forces, but the ones who took action are mainly some demonic monks."

The young man in white learned the names of those demonic monks and the forces behind them from her, and then let her leave.

In the empty hall, the young man in white thought for a long time, his frown suddenly relaxed, and then he sighed:

"It's time to go for a walk."

Otherwise, some people would really think that Xuelingxu is an existence that they can provoke at will.

……

A month later, a piece of news swept across the Northern Territory like a storm, and everyone knew about it.

The strongest demonic force in the Northern Territory, the Hunyuan Sect, which was considered the fifth top sect, was destroyed!

Even the leader of the Hunyuan Sect, who had reached the peak of the Ninth Realm, died! !

The one who destroyed the Hunyuan Sect and killed the Demonic Path Giant was not a group of top sects that came out in full force. From beginning to end, there was only one person—

The Lord of Xueling Ruins!
