While the crisis at Tianyun Sect was resolved, another crisis erupted in the Imperial Capital, demonstrating the terrifying might of martial artists to cultivators across the world.
Back at the Xiang residence, Wuxin was holding the imperial decree and using it to press his case. Though he possessed the martial might to sever all things, he only had thirty years of lifespan remaining. Because he was deeply infatuated with Xiang Yujie, he refrained from using force to coerce her, fearing that doing so would damage his sword heart and cause his realm to drop.
Yet somehow, the Azure Dragon Emperor had gotten wind of his situation. Not only did the Emperor grant him a high-ranking official post, but he also directly bestowed a marriage decree upon him. This gave Wuxin, trapped as he was in the mire of unrequited love, a breakthrough: this wasn't him forcing Xiang Yujie—it was an imperial marriage by decree!
