#2434 - Can you say that again?

The protector of the Taiqing Sect branch hall had eyes as sharp as knives when he heard the word "marriage contract."

For a fleeting moment, Jun Wuxie sensed a chilling killing intent from him.

Although it was only a brief instant, his keen senses clearly captured it.

This protector's reaction was so strong upon hearing the words "marriage contract," indicating that things were not simple.

After all, although he was a protector with a not-low status, he was far inferior to Mo Qingli, the master of this branch hall.

Therefore, it could almost be concluded that the possibility of him acting out of jealousy was very small.

Moreover, he did not know whose marriage contract it was, at most only suspecting that it might be related to Mo Qingli, yet his reaction was already so strong, there must be a special reason.

"What marriage contract? Let this protector take a look."

The middle-aged man's expression turned cold and calm again, and he reached out to take the marriage contract from the guard's hand.

After unfolding it, his pupils gradually contracted, and his heart was filled with shock and anger.

It was actually the branch master's marriage contract with someone!

The branch master actually had a marriage agreement with someone, with the branch master's signature on it, and a remnant of the branch master's law imprint!

Needless to say, this marriage contract could not be fake.

The signature must have come from the branch master!

The middle-aged protector's expression was uncertain.

However, he quickly adjusted his expression, closed the marriage contract, looked at the several guards, and shouted in a deep voice: "Bold! Are you all blind!

Just because two random people brought a forged marriage contract, you believed it to be true? What are you being paid to do!

Now is a time of great trouble, the entire hall is under martial law, you don't know how to distinguish between true and false, and you even wanted to report it to the branch master!

The branch master has been exhausted these days, it's fine if you can't share her worries, but you still want to disturb her!"

"Protector!"

The guards trembled in fear, kneeling on the ground with panicked faces, "Protector, please forgive us, we just felt that this matter was of great importance and did not dare to make a decision on our own, so we wanted to inform the branch master and let her decide personally, please forgive us this time!"

Jun Wuxie watched the middle-aged protector indifferently, this person seemed to be reprimanding the guards, but in reality, he was targeting him.

"Are you sure my marriage contract is fake?"

It had Mo Qingli's law imprint on it, as Mo Qingli's protector, how could he not recognize it.

"Where did you come from, you madman, daring to forge a fake marriage contract here!

What kind of existence is the branch master? High above, who doesn't know that she is wholeheartedly devoted to the Dao, and never shows favor to any man, how could she make a marriage agreement with someone!

Just you, wanting to eat swan meat, wishful thinking, why don't you take a good look in the mirror and see yourself, are you worthy?

Today, you forged a marriage contract, wanting to infiltrate our branch hall, there must be other ulterior motives.

This protector will capture you and interrogate you slowly!"

Saying that, he was about to put the marriage contract into his storage ring and capture Jun Wuxie and Wan.

"Clown, seeking your own death!"

Before the protector could put the marriage contract into his storage ring, Jun Wuxie made his move.

He advanced to his face like a teleport, and slapped his face with the Chaos Golden Palm Finger.

The middle-aged protector screamed and flew out.

Jun Wuxie grabbed from the air, the marriage contract slipped out of his hand and returned to his.

"Madman, how dare you run wild in my branch hall!"

The protector scrambled up, his eyes were cold, covering his swollen face, spitting out a mouthful of blood mixed with broken teeth, his hands formed a seal, the light of secret techniques bloomed, and a Taiqing Void Image emerged.

Jun Wuxie reached out, the Chaos Golden Palm Finger pierced through the Taiqing Void Image, and slapped his head.

The protector knelt on the ground with a bang, causing the ground to shake a few times, and blood flowed straight from his head.

"What are you? Showing off in front of me."

Jun Wuxie looked down at the protector, and in his shocked and angry eyes, grabbed his neck and lifted him up.

"Let go of this protector, this is the Taiqing Sect branch hall, you can't run wild here!"

The middle-aged protector was outwardly stern but inwardly weak, staring at Jun Wuxie with cold eyes, his legs kicking in the air, struggling frantically.

This scene stunned the guards, and they did not dare to come forward for a while.

Even the protector was not his opponent, and going forward would only be seeking their own death.

Jun Wuxie sneered, put the protector down, but did not let go of the hand locking his neck.

He dragged him on the ground like this, stepping on the bluestone steps step by step, and walked towards the interior of the Taiqing Sect branch hall.

The guards hurriedly followed, but did not dare to get too close, trembling all the way.

"Where did this arrogant madman come from, daring to run wild here, what do you think this place is, how can we allow you to be presumptuous!"

One figure after another cut through the sky and rushed out of the palace.

They did not know what had happened, but someone broke in like this, dragging the protector by the neck, with a strong posture, this was a provocation to the branch hall!

The person rushing in front immediately made a move and attacked Jun Wuxie.

Jun Wuxie did not say anything, with a flick of his sleeve, the Chaos Golden Blood Qi turned into a great dragon, with a resounding dragon roar, and greeted him.

The Chaos Golden Dragon was unstoppable, defeating the Taiqing Secret Technique, and impacting the person's body.

The strong man grunted, his body was knocked far away, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and after landing, he retreated far before stabilizing his figure.

His face was full of shock, covering his collapsed chest, and he hurriedly took a pill and circulated his true energy to repair his injuries.

"Madman, no wonder you dare to be so arrogant, it seems you have some strength!

But you think that you can run wild in my branch hall like this, you have come to the wrong place!"

The strong men who rushed out from the Taiqing Sect branch hall made their moves one after another.

For a time, the light of secret techniques illuminated the world, strange phenomena crisscrossed the sky, covering the sky, and bombarded down.

Jun Wuxie was expressionless, his eyes were cold, his sleeves fluttered, and the dragon roared in bursts.

One great dragon after another shuttled past, destroying everything, all the secret techniques collapsed, and could not be stopped at all.

The people who rushed out from the Taiqing Sect branch hall were knocked away one by one, and successively vomited blood.

Jun Wuxie locked the protector's neck like this, dragged him, climbed the mountain strongly, and walked towards the palace complex on the mountain.

"Stop!"

A clear and pleasant voice suddenly came out from the palace complex, with a sense of majesty.

Almost at the same time, a touch of Taiqing light bloomed, reflecting the world.

A beautiful woman wearing a white dress, with green silk reaching her waist, and extraordinary beauty, walked on the void, followed by a group of strong men.

Her left hand held a three-foot-long sword with a scabbard, and delicate patterns were engraved on the scabbard, flowing with a faint blue-white light.

Her face was exquisitely beautiful, her skin was crystal clear, her facial features were exquisite and flawless, which could be called perfect.

It was almost difficult to use words to describe her beautiful face and figure.

Her eyes were very bright and clear, and at a glance, they could make people feel a sense of freshness in their hearts, and it seemed that all negative emotions dissipated because of this.

"Are you Mo Qingli?"

Jun Wuxie guessed her identity at a glance.

As expected, as his mother said, this Mo Qingli indeed possessed a flourishing immortal face and an ethereal temperament.

In terms of appearance and temperament, she was indeed at the same level as Mu Ciyin, and was on par with her.

"I am Mo Qingli, who is Your Excellency, why did you break into my branch hall and hurt my branch hall's protector and elders?

Everything has its cause and effect, I really can't think of what reason you have to do this.

You should know what kind of provocative behavior it is to break into someone else's residence and hurt people."

Her tone was calm, but her words hid a majestic aura, and her eyes looked straight at him.

"Who I am, you will know when you see it."

Jun Wuxie took out the marriage contract and threw it out casually.

A touch of red cut through the sky and fell into Mo Qingli's hands.

Looking at the red scroll, Mo Qingli's delicate body trembled slightly, a complex color flashed in her eyes, but it only became clear and bright again in an instant, as cold as water.

She unfolded the marriage contract, looked at the contents inside, the past floated in her mind, but her expression was still as calm as still water.

"I already know your identity and intentions, release my hall's protector."

She closed the marriage contract and said calmly.

"This person knew that this contract was true, but said it was false, not only that, but also forcibly targeted me, wanting to persecute me."

Mo Qingli frowned slightly when she heard this, and a fire of anger rose in her heart.

This protector was simply audacious!

He dared to make his own decisions without reporting such a thing, and was so excessive.

"This matter is the fault of my hall's protector. However, you should release him first."

"Say that again?"

Jun Wuxie looked at Mo Qingli coldly.

The two's eyes collided, neither giving way, but soon, Mo Qingli felt a strange palpitation in her heart.

The other party's eyes were too strong, and that strength and domineering actually made her feel shocked.

Thinking of his identity and intentions, Mo Qingli secretly weighed the pros and cons and remained silent.

"Branch master, save me, you can't watch me being bullied and persecuted in this sect and not care, wouldn't that chill everyone's hearts?"

The protector shouted loudly.

However, Mo Qingli remained silent and did not respond in any way.

The other high-level officials looked at Mo Qingli in shock.

What exactly was written in that scroll just now?

Why did the branch master's attitude change completely after reading it?

"Branch master, I am loyal to you, I didn't expect you to actually condone outsiders persecuting your own people on your own territory!"

The protector roared angrily.

"Noisy."

Jun Wuxie exerted force with his palm, and snapped his neck with a crack.

Immediately afterwards, he slapped his heavenly spirit cover.

"Stop!"

"How dare you!"

"Despicable!"

Seeing this scene, the high-level officials of this hall were all shocked and angry, wanting to step forward to stop him, but it was already too late.

With a scream and the sound of bones breaking.

The protector bled from all seven orifices, his eyes were wide open, and he died on the spot.

Jun Wuxie moved his palm away from his heavenly spirit cover.

Except for Wan, no one noticed that when his palm moved away, he extracted a piece of memory information from her sea of consciousness.

“You…”

Mo Qingli's beautiful eyes trembled slightly, but in the end, she didn't continue speaking.

“Madman, if we don’t execute you on the spot today, what face will our branch have to face the sect!”

Those powerhouses were filled with murderous intent as they surrounded Jun Wuxie, ready to attack.

“Stop!”

Mo Qingli shouted coldly.

“Branch Master!”

The powerhouses were all filled with anger and confusion.

“Step back!”

Mo Qingli said coldly, her gaze sweeping majestically across the powerhouses.

“Branch Master, what is the meaning of this?”

Those powerhouses were unconvinced. An outsider had come to the branch and killed a protector in front of them, yet the Branch Master was actually protecting him!

“Regarding this matter, I will give you an explanation in the future.

Please, elders and kings, temporarily leave and attend to your own matters.”

“We…”

The elders and kings hesitated, taking a deep look at Mo Qingli before glaring at Jun Wuxie. After a long while, they coldly snorted and left with a flick of their sleeves.

At this moment, the few guards who were following from afar were shocked beyond compare.

That young man was actually the Branch Master's fiancé!

Otherwise, why would the Branch Master protect him so much? Even though he had killed a protector in public, the Branch Master had not blamed him. Instead, she had shielded him and prevented the elders and kings from attacking him!

“Come with me.”

Mo Qingli glanced at Jun Wuxie and Wan before heading towards the palace complex.

Jun Wuxie and Wan followed her all the way to her boudoir.

“Please, sit.”

Mo Qingli pointed to the table in the boudoir. After speaking, she sat down herself.

After Jun Wuxie and Wan sat down, she gently shook her head and sighed.

“I know you have grievances against me in your heart.

Now that things have come to this, are you satisfied?

These days, my situation has already been very difficult.

Today, you insisted on killing my branch’s protector in public.

Now, the high-level members of the branch all harbor resentment towards me…

I really don’t know if you’ve come to help me or to take revenge on me…

Forget it, your mother saved my life back then.

I owe her a great debt of gratitude.

This time, even if I cannot overcome this calamity, it is my fate…”

“You seem to be very wronged.

You don't even know who your own protector is loyal to. What do you have to fight with others?”

As Jun Wuxie spoke, he released the memory fragment he had extracted from the protector's sea of consciousness for Mo Qingli to see.

The memory fragment showed the process of the protector's conversation with a young man whose back was to him.

Basically, the protector was doing all the talking, and the young man rarely spoke.

However, it could be seen from the conversation that the protector was the young man's person, repeatedly revealing information about Mo Qingli's movements and the secret information of this branch to the young man.

“He… how dare he!”

Mo Qingli was shocked and furious, and a wisp of anger ignited in her clear, watery eyes.
