#445 - Watching monkeys at the foot of Zongwang Mountain

Jun Wuxie's heart was filled with mixed emotions for a long time.

There was excitement, shock, and a sense of relief.

He slowly closed his eyes and sat cross-legged under the peach tree, evolving his martial intent within his consciousness.

The improvement in his Yuan Shen realm greatly enhanced his mental power, leading to a deeper understanding of the Martial Dao, as if it was a natural progression.

He sat under the peach tree for two full days.

When he opened his eyes again, martial runes flashed in his pupils, sharp and unparalleled, his gaze seeming to pierce through heaven and earth!

His entire being resembled anPeerless treasured sword about to be unsheathed, a spear sweeping across the battlefields, or a cauldron suppressing the universe…

His body was imbued with the characteristics and aura of various weapons!

On the mountainside, everyone felt this domineering martial intent.

The crowd rushed to the peach forest and looked down.

But this martial intent vanished in an instant.

"What's going on?"

"Did you guys feel that just now?"

"Could it have been an illusion?"

"Brother Wuxie, has he recovered?"

…

Everyone was very excited, their biggest worry being Jun Wuxie's delayed recovery.

Too many people were eyeing him with hostility.

Each day without recovery meant more danger.

"Young Master～"

Lingfei smiled in relief and ran towards the peach forest.

Jun Wuxie stood up and stretched his muscles.

Feeling the power within his body, he felt incredibly grounded.

This time, not only had his Yuan Shen and realm greatly improved,

he also discovered that his talent growth had broken through to the quasi-legendary level!

Turning around, he saw Lingfei running towards him.

"I've recovered."

He smiled slightly, warm and radiant, with captivating confidence.

"I knew you could do it."

Lingfei stepped forward and carefully brushed the dust off his clothes.

"Let's go back."

He took Lingfei's hand and walked up the mountain.

"Wuxie!"

"Brother Wuxie!"

"Senior Brother!"

Su Ji and Xu Daoling looked at him nervously.

"I've recovered."

He said three words calmly.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Today is a good day, we should celebrate!" Nalan Jie stepped forward, looking eagerly at Jun Wuxie, and said, "Brother Wuxie, don't you think so?"

"Ahem, Nalan Jie is right, how can such a good day be without peach blossom wine to celebrate?"

"You're dreaming, don't even think about the peach blossom wine, brew your own if you want to drink!"

Jun Wuxie said somewhat coldly.

That was what Yao'er had prepared for him.

Now that Yao'er only had her true soul remaining, she could no longer brew wine.

No one could even think about drinking a single drop of that wine!

"Ahem, if you don't want us to drink, then we won't, what's with the tantrum."

The few said sullenly, involuntarily swallowing their saliva, their inner wine worms crawling out at the thought of the peach blossom wine.

Looking at their expressions, Jun Wuxie couldn't feel at ease, and directly ran to the wine cellar, storing all the peach blossom wine into the Eternal Divine Palace.

His behavior left Su Ji and the others speechless, why was he acting like he was guarding against thieves?

"Has Chan'er woken up?"

Lingfei shook her head and said, "Not yet, but there are signs of awakening, she's not sleeping as deeply as before, she should wake up in the next few days."

"What about Su Lan, has the [Holy Marrow Liquid] been used?"

"It's been used, her soul has been almost completely repaired, she should wake up soon, you should go in and see her. Ke Qing and Xiao Xiao are guarding Chan'er."

Jun Wuxie nodded, walked into Su Lan's room, and closed the door behind him.

He sat in front of the bed, looking at Su Lan, whose face was rosy and whose life force was vigorous.

Her current state was much better than before.

All the changes in her life functions indicated that she was about to wake up.

He even saw her eyelashes tremble slightly from time to time.

"Lan'lan, I will protect you all in the future, because that feeling is really too painful. I can no longer bear the pain of losing anyone around me. First it was you and Uncle Bird, then it was Yao'er, I blame myself for not being strong enough, for being too reckless, for not being considerate enough…"

He held Su Lan's soft hand in his left hand, and gently stroked her beautiful face with his right hand.

Since they met in Fengtian City, the bits and pieces of these years flashed through his mind one by one.

She was such a cheerful and strong-willed woman, selfless towards him, and always silently giving.

"Actually, I could sometimes see that as my strength continued to improve, you felt that you were getting further and further away from me. Although you didn't say it and always hid it very well, I knew it…"

"It's just that I at that time… forget it, it's all in the past. In the future, I won't be like this anymore. You are not allowed to have feelings of inferiority either, I don't care about your realm or talent, I only care about whether you treat me sincerely, that is the most important thing."

As he spoke, he felt a wetness on the hand that was stroking her face.

"Can you hear me?" Jun Wuxie was slightly excited, wiping away her tears as he said, "Why are you still crying, shouldn't you be happy? You look good when you smile, smile more in the future, and don't cry without my permission."

Su Lan, who was vaguely regaining consciousness, heard his domineering words, slowly opened her eyes, but quickly closed them again, repeating this several times before adapting to the light.

"Young Master, is everything you said true?"

She parted her red lips slightly, gazing at him with teary eyes, filled with anticipation and longing.

Perhaps it was because she hadn't spoken for too long, her voice was slightly hoarse.

"Lan'lan, you're finally awake!" Jun Wuxie quickly helped her sit up against the bed, smiling, "Of course it's true, every word is truer than gold!"

Su Lan's tears instantly rolled down.

She cried and laughed at the same time, laughing so happily and brightly.

"Young Master, do you know, I don't know when it started, but I always think of you, and I can't control myself. Every time you come to Jubaozhai to find me, it's the happiest time for me, but it's always so short, and you leave so quickly…"

"I'm afraid I won't be able to do the things you asked me to do well, and I'm always very uneasy. Young Master, do you think I'm very stupid?"

"No."

Jun Wuxie said with a smile, "You will stay in Zongwang Mountain from now on, and you don't have to go back to Jubaozhai anymore."

"But my sect probably won't agree."

She said uneasily.

"Don't worry, Xiao Xiao is here with me now, and your Dharma Protector Elder is also here. You can stay here in peace from now on, look at the scenery when you have nothing to do, talk to Xiao Xiao and the others, cultivate when you have time, and don't have any pressure."

"No, I want to serve Young Master."

"Serve?"

Jun Wuxie was stunned.

"Yes."

Su Lan's face was slightly red, but her eyes were very firm, and she said, "If I were Young Master's woman, I would not be able to help comparing myself with Yue Yao and Yin Lan; if I were Young Master's maid, I would not be able to help comparing myself with Sister Lingfei, I would feel very useless."

"You don't have to think that way at all, your thoughts…"

"Young Master～"

Su Lan covered his lips with her slender hand, and said娇声, "As long as I can stay by your side, my identity doesn't matter. It makes me feel more at ease and less burdened to be Young Master's little slave, please?"

Jun Wuxie was silent.

He knew Su Lan's mentality, and it was useless to say anything.

He acquiesced.

To change the inferiority complex deep in her heart, perhaps only helping her improve her talent and realm in the future, and slowly becoming stronger, could she regain her confidence in front of him.

"As long as you're happy, anything is fine."

Jun Wuxie sighed inwardly and kissed her red lips.

At this moment, there was a commotion from the foot of Zongwang Mountain.

"Jun Wuxie, come out quickly and accept judgment!"

"We know you are on Zongwang Mountain, hiding is useless!"

"You are the body of sinful blood. We, the [Jun Execution Alliance], uphold human justice and come to judge you, a sinful person!"

"Uh, can you hide for the rest of your life? When did the disciple of the Martial Saint become a shrinking turtle?"

"What peerless genius who killed Xiao Tianming, I think it's just a false reputation! If you have the guts, come out, and I will suppress you on the ground with one hand, crying and repenting of your sins!"

"Hahaha, you think too highly of him, do you need one hand? I think one finger is too much for this kind of falsely reputed person!"

…

Hundreds of people stood at the foot of Zongwang Mountain.

There were young people, middle-aged people, and a small number of old people.

Each of them carried their hands behind their backs, with arrogant expressions, looking invincible.

"Young Master, who are they?"

Su Lan's face turned red with anger, and she struggled to get out of bed.

"Don't move, you just woke up, rest well, don't worry about other things."

Jun Wuxie pressed her down, let her lie down, pulled the quilt over her, then turned and walked out of the room, closing the door.

In the yard, a large group of people were looking down the mountain.

Seeing Jun Wuxie come out, strange expressions appeared on everyone's faces.

"Senior Brother, the people from the [Jun Execution Alliance] are here to judge you."

Xu Daoling had a cheap smile on his face, looking gloating.

If that group of iron-headed fools had come a few days earlier, they might have been able to take advantage.

They couldn't have picked a worse time. Coming now, after my eldest brother's cultivation has recovered? Are they deliberately walking to their deaths?

One by one, they spout such arrogance, talking about suppressing him with a single hand, or even just a finger.

He almost burst out laughing like a pig.

"Sigh, let me mourn for them for three seconds first."

Ling Yu held his forehead, his facial muscles twitching from laughter.

"Hey! Jun Wuxie, don't hide! I see you! Come out and confess your sins! You should know that evil can only ever grovel at the feet of justice!"

Down the mountain, the people of the 'Alliance to Punish Jun' were shouting loudly.

"Let's go see the monkeys."

Jun Wuxie started walking down the mountain.

The others followed.

They quickly arrived at the foot of the mountain.

"Jun Wuxie, you're finally willing to come out? It seems you understand that hiding is useless." A young man stepped forward, his hands clasped behind his back, adopting a superior posture, and said, "Now that you're here, come and kneel down, confess your sins, and accept the judgment of justice!"

"Hey, kid, who the hell are you? So arrogant." Xu Daoling mocked, "Did you guys all get a shot of chicken blood or something?"

"Heh, arrogant?" Immediately, several more young men stepped out from the crowd, glancing at Xu Daoling with great contempt, and said, "What is arrogance? We're just speaking with strength! Someone like Jun Wuxie, a sinner by blood, I could beat a hundred of him!"

"Brother Zhao, you're being too modest, aren't you?" Another young man laughed, "You mean one finger to beat a hundred, right? Just a disciple of the War Saint, I could crush a thousand of them!"

Jun Wuxie remained calm, watching this group of clowns put on their little show.

A golden rune flashed momentarily in his pupils.

He saw several people in the crowd with special true energy within their bodies.

They were members of the Soul Hunting Hall, disguised and hidden within the crowd.

At this moment, an almost imperceptible sly smile flashed across Xu Daoling's face as he mocked, "When my eldest brother's cultivation was still intact, why didn't you come to shout? Bullying him now that he has no cultivation?"

"Humph! We never heard that the War Saint's disciple lost his cultivation! We are judging the War Saint's disciple for cooperating with Xiao Tianming in a fake performance to attract attention and for indiscriminately killing innocent people. Now that real experts have come to your door, are you afraid? You can even fabricate such a ridiculous lie about having no cultivation, hahaha!"

"Don't you have the power of Asura? Use it and let us see. The power of Asura? I can pop it with one finger!"

… …

The people of the 'Alliance to Punish Jun' were becoming more and more狂 (wild, crazy, arrogant).

Anyway, now that Jun Wuxie has lost his cultivation and become a soft persimmon that everyone can pinch.

No matter how they belittle him or insult him, what can he do?
