36: Chapter 36 Xiaoyun Comes to the Rescue

Xiang Tian was being escorted to a temporary detention center.

But halfway there, a familiar figure appeared before his eyes.

"Senior Brother Liu Jian?" Xiang Tian's pupils constricted slightly, and his footsteps faltered.

Wasn't this the Eldest Senior Brother of the Outer Sect, Senior Brother Liu Jian?

Back then, Jin Yuan had pierced his head with a needle, and he was sucked away by a rift. How could he be here?

Senior Brother Liu Jian also saw him. He froze for a moment but said nothing, passing by in a flash.

However, that fleeting change in expression made Xiang Tian certain that this was definitely the Senior Brother Liu Jian he knew.

"Senior Brother, is that man named Senior Brother Liu Jian?" Xiang Tian turned his head to look at the Enforcement Hall Disciple escorting him.

"What? You know him?" The Disciple was somewhat surprised.

"Yeah, I met him a few times in the Outer Sect before," Xiang Tian said vaguely.

"He is indeed Senior Brother Liu Jian, the second young Master of the Liu Family," the Disciple explained. "I heard he just joined the Enforcement Hall not long ago and is quite highly regarded by Hall Master Yang."

"Is that so..." Xiang Tian remained calm on the surface, but his heart was in turmoil.

How could a dead person come back to life? There was definitely something wrong here!

He didn't ask any more questions, simply noting the matter in his mind.

This "resurrection" of Senior Brother Liu Jian was likely even more terrifying than he imagined.

The temporary detention center was actually quite spacious, even containing a simple wooden bed.

Xiang Tian didn't stand on ceremony; he simply lay down and fell fast asleep. Since worrying was useless anyway, he might as well conserve his energy.

A day later, while Xiang Tian was lying on the bed for a nap, a familiar voice suddenly reached his ears: "Xiang Tian, aren't you curious about how I survived?"

It was Senior Brother Liu Jian!

Xiang Tian opened his eyes to see Senior Brother Liu Jian standing outside the cell door, looking at him with sinister eyes.

"You shouldn't be Senior Brother Liu Jian," Xiang Tian said bluntly.

"Whether I am Senior Brother Liu Jian or not isn't important." Senior Brother Liu Jian smiled, his tone cold. "What matters is that you will be dead soon."

"Is that so?" Xiang Tian lay back down, looking completely unbothered. "I think the one who should be worried is you."

"Xiang Tian, I don't know why you suddenly became so strong." Senior Brother Liu Jian paused. "You must be hiding some secret. Once you are locked in the Heavenly Prison, your secrets—and the women by your side—will all be mine."

Halfway through his sentence, he turned and left, leaving Xiang Tian alone in the cell.

"So he's been eyeing me all along." Xiang Tian stroked his chin.

This "Senior Brother Liu Jian" not only wanted to steal his secrets but also wanted to go after Xiahou Yun and the others? Interesting. Perhaps he could investigate the secret of this "resurrection" in return.

With those thoughts, time flew by, and two days passed in the blink of an eye.

Boom!

A loud explosion made the entire Enforcement Hall tremble. Xiang Tian jerked upright on the bed—it was starting!

"Wang He, how bold of you! Don't you know that Xiang Tian is my fiancé?" A familiar, angry female voice rang out; it was Xiahou Yun!

Xiang Tian laughed loudly. "As expected of a woman who's cold on the outside but warm on the inside. She won't admit it with her mouth, but she still cares about me in her heart!"

"Junior Sister Xiahou, I am handling this case impartially. Xiang Tian killed someone publicly within the Sect, violating the Sect rules. He cannot be treated leniently!" Wang He's voice rang out.

"Hmph! Impartial? Take a strike from my sword first!"

Boom!

Another loud explosion occurred as the two began to fight.

Xiang Tian leaned against the cell door, listening to the sounds of fighting outside with a pleasant mood.

With Xiahou Yun there, he didn't need to worry at all.

"Junior Sister Xiahou, you... Pfft!" Not long after, Wang He's miserable scream was heard.

"Don't challenge the Enforcement Hall's bottom line! Hall Master Yang will be back soon!" Wang He roared in desperation.

"Even if he comes, I will not fear him!" Xiahou Yun's voice was overbearing. "You dare to touch my man?"

Outside, there was another series of violent collisions, the sound of furniture shattering, and the sound of spiritual energy exploding.

Xiang Tian shook his head helplessly. "This woman is too fierce. Luckily I didn't truly provoke her before."

Just then, a majestic voice rang out: "How bold, Xiahou Yun! This is the Enforcement Hall, not your Xiahou Peak. How can you be allowed to act so presumptuously!"

"Hall Master! You're finally back!" Wang He cried out, as if grabbing onto a life-saving straw.

"Hall Master Yang, I only wish to take Xiang Tian away. I have no intention of opposing the Enforcement Hall," Xiahou Yun's voice remained cold.

"Presumptuous!" Hall Master Yang barked. "I shall teach you, a girl who disregards Sect rules, a good lesson on behalf of your Master!"

"Trapped Dragon Palm!"

A sharp palm wind swept forth. It was specifically used to apprehend major criminals; though its lethality wasn't top-tier, its binding force was immense.

Bam!

After a dull thud, Xiahou Yun's voice came: "Hall Master Yang, bring out your true strength. An attack of this level cannot harm me."

"Eh? You've advanced to the Martial King Realm?" Hall Master Yang was astonished.

To achieve Martial King at such a young age—this talent was simply terrifying. Her future achievements would be limitless!

"Therefore, Hall Master Yang, if you know what's good for you, hand over Xiang Tian," Xiahou Yun snorted coldly.

Hall Master Yang's Aura surged instantly.

Xiang Tian could feel the cell vibrating slightly.

"Dragon Claw Hand!" Hall Master Yang roared. The palm wind whistled, and Xiahou Yun's breathing suddenly became a bit hurried.

"jade seal!"

At that moment, a sharp cry rang out. Immediately after, Xiang Tian felt a majestic pressure envelop the entire Enforcement Hall.

Pfft! A muffled sound was heard, followed by the sound of a heavy object hitting the ground.

"I will not kill you today; I only want to take Xiang Tian away," Xiahou Yun's voice came. "If you block me again, don't blame my sword for being merciless!"

Swish! A sword light flashed, and the cell door holding Xiang Tian was sliced open.

Xiahou Yun stood at the entrance. Her white clothes were stained with a bit of dust, yet she remained elegant and graceful, looking at him with cold eyes.

"Haha! Xiao Yun, I knew you loved me the most!" Xiang Tian was overjoyed and quickly ran over, reaching out to hug her.

"Hmph!" Xiahou Yun stepped aside to dodge him, her chin tilted up at a forty-five-degree angle. "You are my person. Wang He touching you is a slight against my Face. It has nothing to do with whether I love you or not."

The smile on Xiang Tian's Face froze. He complained in his heart: Can't this woman say something nice?

"Follow me!" Xiahou Yun dropped a cold sentence and took the lead in walking out.

Xiang Tian rolled his eyes and could only follow closely behind her like a loyal dog.

There was no other way. Who told this woman to be so strong and willing to protect him?

But as the two walked out of the Enforcement Hall's main gate, a furious voice exploded in their ears: "Who killed my son, Wang He?!"

A middle-aged man dressed in luxurious clothes was seen holding Wang He's corpse, staring at them with bloodshot eyes.

The surrounding Enforcement Hall Disciples had long since hidden in fear. Only he and Xiahou Yun were at the scene, so they were obviously taken as the killers.

"Are you talking about Wang He?" Xiahou Yun stepped forward, her tone calm. "I killed him. You must be the Patriarch Wang."

"You little girl, you're looking for death!" the Patriarch Wang roared. A terrifying Aura erupted from his body, even stronger than Hall Master Yang's from before. "You are Sect Leader Xun's Disciple? Good! I shall properly discipline you, a lawless girl, on behalf of your Master!"

"If you want revenge, I'll take you on." Xiahou Yun was fearless, manifesting the jade seal once more. "Whatever moves you have, use them quickly. I don't have time to waste with you."

"What is this thing?!" As soon as the Patriarch Wang moved, he was enveloped by the pressure of the jade seal. His Face turned pale instantly, and even breathing became difficult.

Pfft!

Xiahou Yun showed no mercy whatsoever.

Since Wang He was dead, the Wang Family certainly wouldn't let it go. It was better to finish what was started and pull the problem out by the roots!

A moment later, the Patriarch Wang collapsed to the ground, breathless.

[Congratulations to the Host for indirectly slapping Wang He's Face. Cultivation increased by two levels. Reward: 200 face-slapping points!]

Xiang Tian was stunned. "Huh? This counts as a Face-slap? That's bizarre!"

[Host, Wang He previously claimed he would imprison you for fifty years, but he was killed by Xiahou Yun. This is equivalent to you indirectly 'slapping his Face'.]

"Ah? You can play it like that?" Xiang Tian's eyes lit up. He stroked his chin and smiled. "Is this the so-called 'Magic Face-slapping'? Then the scope of my Face-slapping will be broad in the future!"

[Host's Comprehension Ability is quite good!]

"What are you still standing there for?" Xiahou Yun's cold voice came, interrupting his thoughts. "Hurry back to Xiahou Peak with me for closed-door Cultivation. You are not allowed to come out until you reach the Supernatural Realm!"

Looking at her frost-cold Face, Xiang Tian wailed in his heart.

Who would have thought that after Transmigration to another world, he would become henpecked!

But seeing the hard-to-detect concern deep in Xiahou Yun's eyes, he couldn't help but laugh. "Alright, I'll listen to you!"
