“Just because of that guess, it’s a straightforward way to say who you are ——”
Xuan Zhen shook his head with some disappointment.
This senior nephew might have surged to the True Dan stage due to some strange encounter, but his experience was still a bit lacking ah.
What if she, Xuan Zhen, was putting in a long line to catch a big fish? What if the previous feigned ignorance was just to lure Qing Yu into the bait himself?
“Nephew Qing Yu,” Xuan Zhen gazed at the confident figure, “there is a price to pay for trusting others at your own risk. I have come alone tonight, but that does not mean that I cannot capture you, or even kill you.”
The air fluctuated slightly, and nearly ten qi needles suddenly appeared, stabbing into Qing Yu’s body at various vital points in a flash of lightning.
In an instant, Xuan Zhen had restrained Qing Yu.
The impression that outsiders, and even many people from the True Martial Sect, had of Su Nui Feng was that of a gentle healer. Along with this, Xuan Zhen, the master of Su Nui Peak, was also considered by others to be a martial artist who was not good at fighting despite his high realm.
In fact, however, they did not know that the strength of the Su Nui Peak Master, who was not good at fighting, was considered to be one of the strongest among the six Peak Masters except Xuan Chen.
Otherwise, after Xuan Chen officially became the Sect Leader, why would he let Xuan Zhen continue to be a middle faction.
It was because Xuan Zhen was so strong that Xuan Chen thought that if he forced her directly, she might fall to the other faction, resulting in the Anti-Master faction being able to compete with the Master faction, which is why he kept the middle faction in existence.
It was also because of Xuan Zhen’s balancing act in the middle that Xuan Chen had not made a move against the Anti-Palm School.
Xuanfeng might have thought it was because he had been making peace, but in fact, it was not Xuanfeng who had been balancing the conflicts, but the middle faction, Xuanzhen.
“How could Senior Uncle Xuan Zhen be weak when he has been able to remain neutral all this time? Senior nephew has never underestimated senior uncle.” Qing Yu was restrained by the qi needles and his body was motionless, but his face was calm and collected.
Qing Yu had planned to pay a visit to Xuan Zhen tomorrow, but he had spent half a day today learning about Xuan Zhen’s past.
In this, for the strength of Xuan Zhen, Xuan Goblet has an extremely painful comprehension ah.
The original words of Xuan Goblet were: “Senior Sister Xuan Zhen seems to be gentle and approachable, not good at fighting, but in fact, among the disciples of my generation, Senior Sister Xuan Zhen’s strength can be the top three. Back then, on a whim, I once picked the Xuan Ling flowers that Senior Sister Xuan Zhen had worked so hard to cultivate for three years to make wine, and the result ——”
The look on Xuan Goblet’s face at that time was so unbearable that Qing Yu wanted to laugh when he thought about it now.
According to Xuan Goblet, after he was hung on the edge of the cliff, Xuan Fa had tried to plead for him, then accidentally caused Xuan Zhen’s anger again and was chased and beaten by her.
Although there was an element of justification involved and Xuanfa was not in a good position to get real, it would not have been possible to chase after Xuanfa and beat him up if he had not been in a similar realm. At that time, Xuanfa was already close to the peak of the True Dan realm and had been at the eighth turn of the Golden Dan for many years.
As far as Xuan Goblet said, he was not surprised that Xuan Zhen was ranked on the Earth Ranking. After so many years, Xuan Zhen’s realm should have been at the peak of the True Dan realm.
The only thing that made Qing Yu feel strange was that if Xuan Zhen had such exaggerated strength, as Xuan Goblet had said, why was he not on the Earth Ranking.
Unlike the Human Ranking, the Earth Ranking was divined by someone from the Destiny Altar using the Way of Heavenly Mystery. If he had the strength to be on the list, he should have been on it even if he had no notable record.
“If I didn’t have the confidence to get away from my uncle, my nephew would have called Xuan Goblet to come and support him when he appeared.”
The body that should have been stiff moved naturally, and at Xuan Zhen’s astonished look, Qing Yu looked down at the spot where he had been shot by the qi needles earlier and said, “Luckily there is no gaping hole, I still like this suit.”
The qi needles were somewhere between visible and invisible, pa*sing over clothing and skin without injury, and piercing directly into Qing Yu’s vital points. With this hand alone, Xuan Zhen’s strength was very extraordinary.
If it were a normal Daoist True Dan 4th turn, Fang would have been taken down directly by Xuan Zhen.
Qing Yu’s somewhat pretentious behaviour caused Xuan Zhen to collect the astonishment he had just felt and survey Qing Yu with a new gaze, “It seems that it is not you who is arrogant, but me, Senior Uncle.”
This level of strength was unimaginable from a young man in his twenties.
Qing Yu should have had a strange encounter, otherwise he wouldn’t have made it this far. However, even if he had a strange encounter, he shouldn’t have this kind of strength, right?
The qi needles had entered his body and locked up his vital points of true qi, even the other people who were also peak masters should not have been able to defuse it so easily. Qing Yu, on the other hand, had regained his ability to move without moving a muscle.
“Senior Uncle, how is it?” Qing Yu patted his shirt and lifted his head to look at Xuan Zhen again.
“Very well.”
With these words, the atmosphere between the two finally eased and they looked at each other with a smile.
What Xuan Zhen was smiling at was that Qing Yu’s strength had not let her down and that there was a possibility of victory against Xuan Chen. Qing Yu smiled because she had gained the approval of her choice, and the centrist faction that had held out for so many years now had a tendency.
Overall, this night’s encounter was very satisfying for both sides.
“By now Xuan Chen should already be considering whether to open the Seven Peaks Resolution.”
Qing Yu informed Xuan Zhen of what had happened during the day and asked her for advice on whether Xuan Chen would agree to start the Seven Peaks Resolution.
“From what I know about Xuan Chen, he will.”
Xuan Zhen’s beautiful eyes swept over Qing Yu and said with great certainty.
“But what is it, again, that could threaten Xuan Chen?”
More than the Seven Peaks Resolution, Xuan Zhen was actually more curious about what handle Qing Yu had on his hands that could threaten Xuan Chen. The matter of Xuan Chen colluding with Xuan Guang to frame Xuan Fa back then was already something that everyone had unspoken about.
“Well, I’m sorry if senior nephew has to sell a story ——,” Qing Yu snorted.
Just kidding, the two sides had just established a cooperative relationship now, and what they lacked most was trust. If he told Xuan Zhen a big card at this time, Qing Yu would either be brainless or he would be so charmed by beauty that he would lose his brain.
That said, this Senior Uncle Xuan Zhen’s Daoist skill was profound, his qi pure, and he was also at the peak of the True Dan realm, so he could be an excellent option for a Daoist partner.
Qing Yu observed Xuan Zhen’s qi and true essence with extremely clear eyes, and his mind turned to some unspoken thoughts.
“Heh, senior nephew is cautious. Caution is a good quality, senior nephew can also keep it more often, there are some people, even if they have been friends for many years, they do not always see through their minds.”
Xuan Zhen sighed lightly as he turned his head sideways, and his figure suddenly flew backwards, like a fairy exiling dust, and plunged straight into the cliff outside the peak.
“Can’t see through the mind ——”
Qing Yu did not care about Xuan Zhen, who appeared to be committing suicide, but turned her gaze to the direction she had previously looked sideways at.
In that direction, the three peaks of Tian Xu, Kun Yin and Chi Ming could be seen. Of these three peaks, two of them were now standing against the Sect.
