Chapter 45: The Holy Land Bows Its Head

Chapter 45: The Holy Land Bows Its Head

Inside Yaochi Sacred Land, the atmosphere began to shift dramatically with the appearance of Qing Ning's Divine Soul.

Those Holy Land Disciples who had previously clamored and vowed to execute Qin Xuan on the spot all hung their heads in shame and slapped themselves without mercy.

"Damn it! I really deserve to die!"

"Qin Xuan, really, I'm crying to death!"

"I originally thought that because Qin Xuan suffered such immense injustice at the Qin Princes Mansion, he had become cynical and world-weary, unwilling to endure even the slightest grievance, and had killed the enemies who wanted to bully him."

"Who could have imagined that Qin Xuan, while bearing such great injustice, not only did not kill Junior Sister Qing Ning but also set aside past grievances to save her, gathering her Divine Soul into a Sacred Artifact."

"It would have been one thing not to take advantage of the situation, but Qin Xuan was actually kind enough to help the very enemy who had ambushed him in secret."

"How can he conduct himself like this? Then weren't my earlier malicious words just me judging a gentleman with the heart of a villain!?"

Those Holy Land Disciples who had misunderstood Qin Xuan recalled their earlier shouts for his death, and for a moment, they were so filled with regret that they couldn't even muster the courage to raise their heads and meet his gaze.

Ashamed, they could not face their own sinister and vicious selves.

They felt that they were no different from the inhumane Qin Princes Mansion, and that they had not acted like decent human beings!

Of course, the one in the most pain was none other than Mu Qingxue.

Listening to Qing Ning's words, she felt as if she had been cast into a sea of bitterness, sinking deep.

Like a drowning person, she couldn't even grasp a straw on the shore.

"How could it be like this? Why am I still doubting Qin Xuan even now?"

"Just how deeply have I hurt him?!"

A heart-wrenching pain gripped Mu Qingxue's chest.

She had thought that she had only misunderstood Qin Xuan regarding the Supreme Bone, led astray by the Qin Princes Mansion.

Who could have imagined that even Junior Sister Qing Ning was not killed by Qin Xuan.

From beginning to end, he had never committed such evil deeds.

He was willing to admit it, preferring to face death in public.

Everything was done to clear her relationship with Leng Li.

Yet, she, who had always been protected by Qin Xuan, had remained convinced that Qin Xuan was a murderer until the moment Qing Ning's Divine Soul appeared.

To say she returned kindness with enmity would be an understatement!

The Qin Princes Mansion slandered Qin Xuan, wounding his flesh and blood.

She, his fiancée, had wounded him to the bone!

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have doubted you. I really don't know why I speculated about you with such great malice. I was wrong, I was truly wrong..."

Mu Qingxue was so heartbroken that tears streamed down her face like rain.

She was grieving for Qin Xuan's grievances and seeking justice for him.

It was her ignorance, and her self-righteousness, that had dealt Qin Xuan the most unbearable blow!

【Daughter of Luck Mu Qingxue's emotions are fluctuating violently. Reward Host with Villain Value +15000!】

Qin Xuan glanced at Mu Qingxue indifferently, not saying a word to comfort her.

Regret? Then let her continue to regret.

Guilt would only serve as a catalyst for Mu Qingxue's self-indoctrination.

There was no need for him to administer a stronger dose of medicine at this time; it would often be counterproductive.

In his heart, he gave a thumbs-up to the assistance provided by the people of the Qin Princes Mansion.

It made his current image appear increasingly glorious and magnificent.

If it weren't for the inhumane nature of the Qin Princes Mansion, how could the situation have turned out even better than he had anticipated?

Qin Xuan also chose not to speak up for himself at this moment.

Praising oneself would only seem unseemly.

His gaze was indifferent as he looked toward Qing Xin and his daughter, asking coldly, "Elder Qing, do you still wish to kill me now?"

Elder Qing looked at his beloved daughter's Divine Soul, opened his mouth, but the words that reached his lips had to be swallowed back down.

No matter how one looked at it, it was the fault of him, a Saint.

He had shouted about killing and wanted to tear Qin Xuan into pieces, yet in the end, it was the very Qin Xuan he had threatened to execute who had protected his daughter's Divine Soul.

One simply cannot, or at least one should not, do such things.

Qing Xin, unwilling to meet Qin Xuan's gaze and feeling ashamed, lowered his head and spoke with embarrassment, "Qin Xuan, I'm sorry. It was I who misunderstood you. If not for you, Ninger would have already suffered Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering."

"If you hold any hatred in your heart, I am willing to commit suicide on the spot."

Qing Ning said anxiously, "Father!"

"I have not fallen; there is no need for a Saint to pay with his life."

Watching this scene of deep father-daughter affection, Qin Xuan said nothing more. He tilted his head back, looked up at the various Peak Masters of the Yaochi Sacred Land in the high sky, and asked coldly, neither humble nor arrogant, "Is there anyone among you who wants to execute me?!"

The Peak Master of Wan Jian Peak averted his gaze.

The Peak Master of Danding Peak looked at Senior Sister Ziyuan.

The other Peak Masters looked left and right, avoiding looking at Qin Xuan and offering no answer.

They had no face to respond.

After all the commotion, they were the real villains.

They had claimed to be upholding the code for the Yaochi Sacred Land, but in the end, they were all slandering a good person.

If this matter spread, their Yaochi Sacred Land would surely lose all face.

How could they have the face to point fingers at Qin Xuan again?

The Great Demon God held the ancient prison-suppressing tower and scolded angrily, "Are you all deaf? My grandson is asking you a question. Are you all mute? What does your silence mean? Weren't you going to kill my grandson? Weren't you going to keep me here? Why aren't you making a move now!"

The Great Demon God, relentless now that he had the upper hand, felt the power of the Yaochi Sacred Land's Formation vanish. Having regained his freedom of movement, he looked at the elegant and peerless figure of the Yaochi Sacred Land, "Why did you let me go? Weren't you very brave just now? Didn't you say I crossed the line? Who exactly crossed the line between us?"

The Holy Lord of the Yaochi Sacred Land was shrouded in thin mist, and no one could see her expression. She only sighed faintly, "This matter is the fault of our Yaochi Sacred Land. If Saint King Qin has any demands, our Sacred Land will surely grant them."

The Great Demon God was furious, "What if I say I want to smash the Yaochi Sacred Land!?"

The Holy Lord remained silent.

Clearly, she would not agree to this demand.

"Grandfather!"

Qin Xuan looked at the Great Demon God and said loudly, using the tactic of playing hard to get, "We two, grandfather and grandson, are no match for their entire Sacred Land. There is no need to make a fool of ourselves here. The world is vast; where is not home?"

"As long as we two, grandfather and grandson, are together, wherever we go is our home."

The anger in the Great Demon God's heart vanished instantly upon hearing these words.

In his heart, he felt both heartache and joy.

Heartache for his grandson, who had suffered such great grievances yet was still thinking of him.

Joy that his grandson still acknowledged him as his grandfather and treated him as family.

"Let's go, let's leave this place."

Qin Xuan showed no attachment, just as he had when he left the Qin Princes Mansion, and strode toward the outside.

The Great Demon God glared at Qin Zhenbei with hatred, snorted coldly, and followed Qin Xuan out without saying another word.

"Qin Xuan..."

Mu Qingxue watched Qin Xuan's retreating figure and spoke in a panic.

After calling out, she closed her mouth again.

She wanted to ask him to stay.

But she realized that she was the one who had hurt Qin Xuan the most.

What right did she have to ask Qin Xuan to stay now?

What right did she have to make Qin Xuan stay?
