With his clothes blazing, Xuan Goblet flew up to the top of the peak and asked impatiently, “How is it?”
Although he did not expect Xuan Zhen to come to Qing Yu late at night, and his previous move to test him had not made any noise, Xuan Goblet still spotted Xuan Zhen flying down from the peak.
With this question, he was asking how Qing Yu and Xuan Zhen’s talks had gone.
“It went well, Xuan Zhen has agreed to be on our side. But ——”
Qing Yu’s gaze remained on the Heavenly Void and Kun Yin peaks, “Before she left, she said something that seemed to mean something. Xuan Zhen might have discovered, some hints of someone, or two people.”
“Well ——” Qing Yu pondered for a moment, “it shouldn’t be possible that both of them are, if they both defected to Xuan Chen, there would be no need to maintain the status quo situation.”
If Xuan Yin and Xuan Lin were both on the side of the Sect Leader, then there could be no darkness in the True Martial Sect at all, and once Xuan Chen unified the seven peaks, Qing Yu and Xuan Goblet could have been shuffled off to bed long ago.
Xuan Goblet followed Qing Yu’s gaze, looked and also saw the three peaks of Kun Yin, Xuan Ming and Tian Xu. He too, without a doubt, locked his gaze on the Kun Yin and Tian Xu peaks.
“You suspect that one of them has betrayed?” Xuan Goblet said with extreme indifference.
First Xuan Feng, and then one of these two, one could imagine how bad Xuan Goblet’s mood was.
As a senior little fanboy, and now to find out that someone had betrayed, Xuan Goblet even had the heart to kill.
”This reaction, it’s a bit too aggressive.” Qing Yu glanced at Xuan Goblet and shook his head secretly.
In his opinion, there was no excuse for one of Xuan Yin and Xuan Lin to have this choice, or for both of them to defect to Xuan Chen in full, which should also be considered a fairly normal thing to do.
Even if the bond with Xuanfa was strong, it would not be able to withstand the test of time. Life, emotions, money, power, tangible and intangible, all will be eroded little by little by the pa*sage of time and eventually turned into the dust of history.
Xuan Fa has been dead for ten years, and the two of them may have been filled with anger at first, but they have long since calmed down. Perhaps they already had the intention to reconcile with Xuan Chen, but they just had difficulty communicating due to the barrier. This possibility is not out of the question
After all, one must always look ahead. If one really could not pull Xuan Chen down, why would one insist more?
The only person who would keep the hatred of Xuan Fa dead in his heart would probably be Xuan Goblet.
As the youngest junior, Xuan Goblet was brought up by Xuan Fa, and their relationship could be said to be both brother and father. As a result, Xuan Goblet really spoke of Xuan Chen as an enemy with a deep-seated blood feud.
As for the others, their enmity with Xuan Chen was mixed with many other reasons, and joining him was not a very difficult choice for them.
As for betraying Xuan Fa, Xuan Chen was also a member of the True Martial Sect, and was still the head of the True Martial Sect, so defecting to him was not much of a betrayal either.
Of course, it was fine to think about these words in one’s heart, but it was better not to say them out loud. If you say it, Xuan Goblet will probably have to clean up the sect directly.
“With Xuan Zhen’s support, even if one of the two of them defected to Xuan Chen, you would still be able to hold on. If you really want to fight Xuan Chen, you still have to rely on the battle power of the Tong Shen realm.” Qing Yu said.
Xuan Chen had a big advantage right now, and the Anti-Palm School faction could only say that they were holding on strongly. After all, there was no strong person of the Tong Shen realm on their side.
To truly pull Xuan Chen down, there would still have to be a Tong Shen realm powerhouse on the scene. And this Tong Shen realm powerhouse had to be from this sect.
Otherwise, if they wanted to fight Xuan Chen, they would first have to survive the True Martial Sect’s great protective formation, the ‘True Martial Seven Tribulation Formation’.
“Speaking of the Tong Shen realm,” Xuan Goblet said with a grave expression, “Senior Sister Xuan Zhen seems to be close to the Tong Shen realm. Just now, I saw her gliding in the wind halfway up the mountain, so she is extremely close to the realm of pa*sing through the gods by virtue of the void and the martial path.”
“Seriously?” Qing Yu asked in amazement.
If that was the case, Xuan Zhen’s strength would have to be pushed upwards. When Xuan Goblet said that her strength was ranked in the top three in the Xuan character generation, it really wasn’t necessarily nonsense.
As for the lack of a name on the Earth Ranking, it could be that Xuan Zhen had a secret method to avoid the measurement, or that she had a relevant treasure to conceal her information.
After all, the one who measured the Earth Ranking was not the Old Man of Time and Destiny, but other disciples in the Destiny Altar.
“It’s a thousand times true.” Xuan Goblet said solemnly.
“She’s hiding deeply. Since Xuan Chen and below in the True Martial Sect, she is probably the strongest. With such strength, it’s no wonder she has been able to remain neutral for many years.” Qing Yu lamented.
As for showing her strength now, it was naturally not because she hadn’t discovered Xuan Goblet, she was showing it to Qing Yu and the others.
“This is good, with this strong support, it won’t be that easy for Xuan Chen to clear out the opponents.”
————————
Also this evening, in a certain studio-run shadow market.
A sneaky figure, not long after the market opened, left the shadow market quietly, avoiding the sight of others.
In order to keep their identities secret, it is impossible for people to leave the market at the same time. However, it is very rare for someone to leave the market before it opens.
However, his strange behaviour still attracted the attention of others.
Two figures, both with their faces concealed, looked at each other and quietly fell in behind the man who had left early.
They were both regulars at the Shadow Market and had seen this careful departure behaviour a few times before.
Generally speaking, those who behaved in this way had found a valuable treasure and were so upset that they simply left. Even if it was only a possibility that this person had found a valuable treasure, these two would not mind trying to kill him or her.
So, one after the other, the three of them quietly left the Shadow Market and arrived in the middle of a deserted forest.
Having left the Shadow City, the iron rule of no martial arts naturally did not restrain the three. The two men behind them looked at each other and used their light skills to attack.
One held a water-splitting stab, the other a long sword, and with a flash of cold light, their weapons struck the man in front of them in the heart and the small of his back almost simultaneously.
So simple?
The man with the longsword crouched down and searched the body of the murdered man, pulling out a book wrapped in black cloth from his arms.
A secret book!
The word flashed through their minds at the same time, and they removed the black cloth straight away.
Under the hazy moonlight, on the black leather book, five big words in blood colour came into view.
The Soul-Snatching, Blood-Powered Sword.
Blood Dao Technique. The most common and easy to rise to the top of the Jianghu rumour mill in terms of strange encounters – Blood Dao merit methods.
Basically, these Blood Dao techniques were all leftovers from the Blood Demon Sect back in the day, and were pa*sed around in all corners of the world. Many of the casuals of the Devil Dao, their initial strange encounter was a Blood Demon Sect legacy gongfa.
For example, the former tenth in the Dragon and Phoenix Ranking, and now the fifth, ‘Blood Swordsman’ Ji Tang, was a typical representative of such a strange encounter.
It was clear that these two men in black would also be embarking on the path of a loose practitioner of the Devil’s Way, as could be seen from their rapidly thickening gasps.
