At this moment, Qian Renxue looked at the shattered Holy Sword of Angels in front of her with a dazed expression. She couldn't believe that Yun Yi could crush her all-out attack with just his martial spirit.

Qian Renxue was immersed in this shock, still maintaining the posture of leaning forward and swinging the sword, slowly falling down like an angel with broken wings.

Yun Yi looked at the slowly falling figure, thinking that something had happened to Qian Renxue, and quickly flew forward to catch her.

A wave of warmth came over her, and when Qian Renxue came to her senses, she found herself in Yun Yi's arms, being lifted up by him.

The two men slowly landed on the ground. Cixue, who was standing beside them, was about to yell, but was pulled away by She Long, who covered his mouth.

Yun Yi also looked at Qian Renxue in his arms with concern, but what surprised him was that he only felt that Qian Renxue's soul power was greatly consumed, and there were no other abnormal symptoms.

The two of them made eye contact and seeing Yun Yi's concerned eyes, Qian Renxue felt warm in her heart, but feeling this extremely ambiguous posture, Qian Renxue couldn't help but blush. She came to her senses, and the next second, a sound of breaking through the air came, and Yun Yi instantly blocked Qian Renxue's slender hand and did not let it fall on his face.

"Young Master, don't hit people in the face." Yun Yi grabbed Qian Renxue's arm and said seriously.

Qian Renxue looked at Yun Yi with a frosty face, gritted her teeth and said, "Hand!"

Yun Yi was confused for a moment, and subconsciously pinched his other hand. A familiar touch bloomed in Yun Yi's hand, and the next moment, another sound of breaking through the air came.

Yun Yi came back to his senses from the wonderful touch, and felt a chill in his heart. He thought to himself, "Oh no!" A pink light lit up on his left leg, and the next moment, Yun Yi appeared five meters away from Qian Renxue, and Qian Renxue's other hand missed.

"My apologies, young master. I have something to do. See you in the palace."

Yun Yi decisively left a word and ran away immediately, not giving Qian Renxue a chance to attack.

Qian Renxue was very annoyed after coming up empty-handed. When Yun Yi's words reached Qian Renxue's ears, she looked around and there was no sign of Yun Yi.

Qian Renxue looked at the direction where Yun Yi left with hatred, and secretly said in her heart, "You little rascal, go back to the palace and wait for me!"

"She Long, draw blood!" Qian Renxue said unhappily.

"Young Master." She Long appeared in front of Qian Renxue in an instant with blood on his face.

Seeing Qian Renxue hesitant to speak, She Long said quickly, "Don't worry, young master. We know nothing and we didn't see anything."

Qian Renxue blushed when she heard this. She didn't say anything else and walked towards the Spirit Hall on her own.

She Long looked at Qian Renxue's back with emotion on his face. Although he was a subordinate, it was not an exaggeration to say that Qian Renxue grew up under the care of their elders. At this time, She Long felt that although the palace coup failed, it was not without gain.

The little girl from that year has grown up and successfully escaped from the cage of Tiandou Palace. However, She Long is very clear about what Qian Renxue will face when she returns now.

"Alas... after all, she is my biological daughter. We have been separated for many years. I hope the situation can improve." She Long said secretly in his heart as he looked at Qian Renxue's back.

"Let's go, Cixue." She Long greeted Cixue and followed him.

……

On the other side, Yun Yi also slipped back to Tiandou City. Although such a big event happened in the palace, everything outside the palace was still normal, as if nothing had happened. The world is like this, and it will not stop turning without anyone.

Yun Yi returned to the room and found Shui Bing'er still in meditation. Yun Yi breathed a sigh of relief and did not disturb her. He also calmed down and slowly entered into meditation.

The next day.

As soon as Yun Yi opened his eyes from meditation, Shui Bing'er's pretty face approached him. Before Yun Yi could say anything, Shui Bing'er pinched Yun Yi's cheek and said, "Tell me the truth, where did you go last night?"

Yun Yi looked at Shui Bing'er and smiled helplessly, then he held her in his arms and chuckled, "What's wrong? Bing'er smelled it again?"

Shui Bing'er snorted and said, "You went to the palace last night, why didn't you tell me?"

"It's not a big deal. I don't want to make you worry." Yun Yi said softly, gently stroking Shui Bing'er's long aqua blue hair.

"Who won last night?" Shui Bing'er asked curiously.

Yun Yi sighed slightly and said, "The fourth prince is avalanche."

Upon hearing this, Shui Bing'er was surprised and said, "With the support of giants like the Tiandou nobles and the Qibao Liuli Sect, His Royal Highness actually lost?"

Yun Yi nodded and said, "Well, the problem lies in the identity of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is Xue Ye's son, the Fourth Prince would not have a chance. After all, he is not justified by his name, but also unjustified by his words."

Shui Bing'er was even more surprised. She never thought that the crown prince was actually a fake. "The crown prince is a woman?"

Shui Bing'er didn't believe that Yun Yi would hold a man in his arms.

Yun Yi smiled and kissed Shui Bing'er's cheek, chuckled and said, "Smart, maybe Bing'er can see it when you return to the palace."

Shui Bing'er wiped her face in disgust and said to Yun Yi, "I asked you to save the beauty again."

Seeing that the question had come to a sensitive point, Yun Yi quickly changed the subject and said, "It's not easy to stay in Tiandou City for long now. Let's leave first and then slowly head south."

Shui Bing'er nodded without hesitation after hearing this. Since the prince's plan had failed, Yun Yi's identity as a member of the Spirit Hall was now confirmed. Although it was impossible for the new emperor to take action against the Spirit Hall so quickly, Tian Dou was no longer safe for the people of the Spirit Hall.

Now that the dawn has just broken, it is a good time to practice the Purple Demon Pupil. However, for most soul masters, they may still be in meditation or sleep. Of course, it is also a good time to run away.

Not long after, Yun Yi and Shui Bing'er successfully slipped out of Tiandou without anyone noticing. After leaving Tiandou City, Yun Yi did not continue to head south with Shui Bing'er, but came to the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect.

Coming to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, which was not inferior to Tiandou City, Yun Yi still had only one thought in his mind.

Rich. So damn rich.

As if knowing that Yun Yi was coming, someone led the way for Yun Yi and Shui Bing'er as soon as they entered the gate of Qibao City.

Soon, Yun Yi and Shui Bing'er came to a side hall. Not long after they entered, a petite figure ran towards Yun Yi. The fragrance of the young girl filled his face. Yun Yi gently hugged Ning Rongrong and whispered, "Long time no see, Rongrong."

It seemed that because Shui Bing'er was standing aside, Ning Rongrong did not say anything. She just kept making small movements in Yun Yi's arms, venting her dissatisfaction with her soft and weak fists.

Feeling Shui Bing'er's gaze, Yun Yi smiled awkwardly, but the only response he got was Shui Bing'er's eye roll.

Yun Yi felt Ning Rongrong's impressive strength, gently brushed her chestnut hair, and said softly, "Rongrong, you have grown up, and your cultivation is almost catching up with Sect Master Ning."

Hearing Yun Yi addressing Ning Fengzhi, Ning Rongrong looked at Yun Yi with a guilty look in her eyes and said softly, "Xiao Yi, are you still blaming Dad?"

Yun Yi shook his head slightly after hearing this and said, "Rongrong, I don't blame him. I know exactly why he did this, but once trust collapses, it's impossible to rebuild it..."

Before Yun Yi finished speaking, he saw Ning Rongrong's disappointed look. Seeing the disappointed look on Ning Rongrong's face, Yun Yi changed the subject and continued, "At least it's unlikely in the short term."

Ning Rongrong also heard the hidden meaning in Yun Yi's words, and she changed her disappointed expression and burst into laughter.

"Then let's go." Ning Rongrong said with a smile.

"Go?" Yun Yi asked with some confusion.

Ning Rongrong looked puzzled when she heard this and said, "Dad told me early in the morning that you would take me back to the Spirit Hall to practice."

Yun Yi fell silent upon hearing this. Looking at the excitement on Ning Rongrong's face, he nodded obediently and said, "Well, we'll set off in a moment."

Ning Rongrong nodded heavily, her face full of excitement, and then Ning Rongrong gently pushed Yun Yi away and quickly stood up. She greeted Shui Bing'er with a somewhat embarrassed look on her face, "Sister Bing'er."

Shui Bing'er smiled and responded, "Rongrong, long time no see."

Yun Yi looked at the way the two were getting along, and felt emotional. After what happened last night, it was obvious that the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect had made up its mind to place all its bets on the Spirit Hall.

What happened last night was not only a struggle for the throne, but also a microcosm of the struggle between sects. The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect has been rooted in Tiandou for a long time, and Ning Fengzhi can be said to have devoted a large part of his efforts to Qian Renxue. After this battle, perhaps the development of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect will not be affected in the short term, because Tiandou and other sects still need the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect to fight against the Spirit Hall. However, Ning Fengzhi knows very well in his heart that, let alone whether they can defeat the Spirit Hall, even if they defeat the Spirit Hall, the biggest winners will still be sects such as Blue Lightning, Haotian, and Tang Sect.

In the process of fighting against the Spirit Hall, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, as an auxiliary, not only had to bear the greatest pressure, but also gained the least benefit. Now the sword bone has been there for a long time, if one day the sword bone is gone, it will not be easy for the Blue Lightning, Haotian and other sects to control the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, even the royal family can ride on the head of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

Even though Xue Beng was still respectful to Ning Fengzhi last night, he still had to pay it back.

This is the future that Ning Fengzhi does not want to see, which is why Ning Rongrong has joined the Spirit Hall.

Seeing that the two had almost finished their greetings, Yun Yi smiled and asked, "Do you want to say hello to Sect Master Ning?"

Ning Rongrong took Yun Yi's hand and shook it slightly, saying, "No need, Dad knows where I go."

Yun Yi gently rubbed Ning Rongrong's head, smiled dotingly and said, "Let's set off without delay. If you join us, I'm afraid our arrival at Wuhun City will be delayed again."

"No way." Ning Rongrong said coquettishly, a little embarrassed.

Seeing this, Yun Yi did not continue speaking, and the other two slowly left the side hall.

When Yun Yi and the other two left, the space in the original side hall distorted not long after, and Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin and Gu Rong slowly walked out of the void.

"Feng Zhi, are you so confident in leaving Rongrong to that kid? He doesn't even want to call you uncle." Gu Rong said indignantly.

Ning Fengzhi didn't care, he just smiled calmly and said, "Uncle Gu, it's just a title. Last night, Yu Yuanzhen called you Brother Gu. Do you think he would treat you as a brother? Only a substantial relationship is a real relationship. Rongrong will not suffer if he follows him. Without Rongrong, we will have no worries in Tiandou and can do more things."

"Well, I think what Feng Zhi said is right." Chen Xin nodded. After all, regarding that incident back then, even Chen Xin himself felt that what Ning Fengzhi did was a bit unkind. Of course, from the standpoint of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, he didn't think that what Ning Fengzhi did was wrong.

"It's a turbulent time. Tang Hao has appeared, and the birth of the Haotian Sect will not be far away. Yu Yuanzhen's grandson is marrying Dugu Bo's granddaughter. Among the three top sects now, I'm afraid that the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is only slightly stronger than Blue Lightning. This is still the case with you two elders. Otherwise..." Ning Fengzhi said with emotion.

Ning Fengzhi shook his head slightly as he spoke. Without Jian Gu and the other two, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect was like a child guarding a huge mountain of gold. If there was a force that needed help in guarding this mountain of gold, then the best choice would undoubtedly be the Spirit Hall.

The reason why Ning Fengzhi did not choose the Spirit Hall in the past was because he felt that there was no perfect bridge. After all, it was not a good deal to rush in and it would only make the Spirit Hall look down on him. But with Yun Yi as a bridge, it was different. Ning Fengzhi was very sure of Yun Yi's position in the Spirit Hall. In just five years, he had cultivated to the level of Soul Saint, which was enough to show how much the Spirit Hall valued Yun Yi. Although Yun Yi's own talent and hard work must have contributed to it, this level of progress could not be achieved by talent and hard work alone.

The higher Yun Yi's status, the better the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect will naturally be able to live in the Spirit Hall in the future.

Gu Rong was still a little worried, and said to Ning Fengzhi, "Fengzhi, do you need me to escort you in secret for a while?"

Ning Fengzhi smiled and shook his head, "Uncle Gu, Rongrong has grown up. Last night, the child did not even use his martial spirit body, but he was able to withstand Tang Hao's attack safely. With Rongrong's assistance, I'm afraid you may not be able to take down the child now."

"Okay, stop worrying about it. Let Rongrong go and play with them. Rongrong has grown up and doesn't need protection anymore. This is a good thing. Why do you look so sad?" Chen Xin said to Gu Rong.

Hearing this, Gu Rong nodded helplessly.

……

On the other side, Qian Renxue returned to Wuhun City. Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar Pope's Palace not far ahead, she slowly walked into the palace with a complicated expression.

Her footsteps were clearly audible in the empty hall. Bibi Dong leaned on her throne, her heart was filled with mixed feelings, but her expression remained calm as she said, "If we fail, we fail. We can start all over again. In terms of the overall situation, we are still in an absolute advantage."

Bibi Dong actually wanted to comfort Qian Renxue, but these words of comfort coming out of Bibi Dong's mouth sounded particularly ironic in Qian Renxue's ears.

"I don't need your comfort, sister...sister...no, I'd better call you Your Holiness. I only have one relative in this world, and that's grandpa." Qian Renxue looked at Bibi Dong coldly.

Bibi Dong looked at Qian Renxue silently, and seemed to agree with Qian Renxue's statement that she had indeed not fulfilled her responsibilities as a mother for so many years.

After a moment of silence, the two seemed to have nothing to say. Bibi Dong said calmly, "Go meet your grandfather."
