388: Chapter 101 Hunting End_2 388: Chapter 101 Hunting End_2 Xie Xuanyi slowly raised his head.
He fixed his gaze on the eyes of the lord.
Those eyes held a smile, but deeper within, they were like a secluded sea, exuding indifference.
“Sword Cultivators emphasize clarity of thought.”
Lu Yuzhen said with a smile, “If one harbors frustrations that cannot be vented, and chronic ailments that cannot be calmed, surely you no longer wish to wear this ‘Xie Zhen’ persona, right?”
“In this world, things rarely go as desired.”
Xie Xuanyi spoke calmly, “This persona, I can still wear it for a long time.”
“Very well…
you really have changed from before.”
Lu Yuzhen was quite pleased with this answer, and with a change in his tone, he earnestly advised, “The White Ghost and Mo Taoist have already sworn allegiance to Great Chu.
In a few more days, it will probably be the Southern Border Demon Cleansing’s moment of glory…
I do not hope to see you in the Southern Border, do you understand what I mean?”
Xie Xuanyi felt a chill in his heart.
The Southern Border was no longer a scene of demons dancing in chaos.
The Three Great Sects, which have always been at odds, were forced to stand together, uniting their efforts against the Paperman Sect.
But…
From these words.
It was quite evident that Lu Yuzhen’s hand had already reached into the inner machinations of the Three Great Sects.
The allegiance of the White Ghost and Mo Taoist was definitely a secret among secrets.
“That head.”
Lu Yuzhen extended his finger, pointing in the direction where the head of the nail geng fell, and said lightly, “The head of the Heavenly Puppet Sect’s Saint, I’ve sent it to Mo Taoist.
Consider it a gift for them.”
Xie Xuanyi had some realization.
Lu Yuzhen following behind him and picking up this head, in a sense, reduced some trouble for himself.
This bill would be charged to the Paperman Sect.
“So, you had already planned to show yourself?”
Xie Xuanyi asked in confusion.
“Didn’t I say it before?
If one harbors frustrations that cannot be vented, and chronic ailments that cannot be calmed, these are the most unpleasant things in the world.”
Lu Yuzhen smiled slightly, “Lu does things with clarity of thought as well.
After waiting for ten years, since you have awoken, there’s no need for the Paperman Sect to hide anymore…
I must stand before everyone in the world, and this northern hunt is the perfect opportunity to make my appearance.”
Retrieving that head and throwing it into the Heavenly Puppet Sect’s territory.
It meant.
That he, Lu Yuzhen, was joining this struggle for the grand era, officially declaring war on the Three Great Sects of the Southern Border!
Xie Xuanyi could imagine what kind of bloody battles the Southern Border would face in the future.
With the involvement of the Great Chu Imperial Family.
This battle would not be so simple.
“Emperor Qi slashed off your arm, are you truly unharmed?”
Xie Xuanyi narrowed his eyes and asked.
He had seen with his own eyes, that incarnation of the Pure White Saint had suffered a serious blow.
Even if Lu Yuzhen had overwhelming abilities, this ordeal must have depleted much of his Primordial Energy…
Lu Yuzhen let out a snort of disdain.
He stood with his hands behind his back, and a faint mist seemed to stream from his forehead.
Xie Xuanyi immediately understood.
“The Great Chu Imperial Family will not lift a real sword to help the Three Great Sects.
The Southern Border’s filthy wretches, even if they kneel and beg, cannot expect true sympathy from the Imperial Family,” Lu Yuzhen spoke indifferently, “In the upcoming battle, the main effort will still come from those Evil Cultivators…
The White Paper Cave Heaven of Lu could use some more incense offerings.”
He paused halfway.
He then returned to his gentle and lazy tone, saying lazily, “Rest assured, I will leave the White Ghost of Yin Mountain for you…
Those related to the battle in the North Sea from back then, I will leave them all for you to kill.
I will not touch them.”
“…”
Xie Xuanyi fell silent again, then spoke coldly after a moment, “You and I are not of the same path, there’s no need for such words.”
“Is that truly so?”
Lu Yuzhen sighed, “Then tomorrow, Lu will flatten Yin Mountain and pluck the head of the White Ghost.”
“If so, all the better.”
Xie Xuanyi sneered, “To kill the White Ghost, to kill you, it simplifies matters to combine the two into one.”
“It is indeed worth combining into one, but still, save some strength for killing the White Ghost, Great Sword Immortal Xie, I certainly cannot provoke you.” Lu Yuzhen quickly raised both hands and said with a beaming smile.
“You seem not afraid of things getting out of hand?”
Xie Xuanyi narrowed his eyes, looking at Lord Lu.
The three Great Sects of the South Border had already amassed considerable power, and even if Lu Yuzhen was exceptionally strong, the Dachu Royal Family was fully prepared to press forward.
His reaction showed no fear.
“Scared?
How can I not be scared?”
Lu Yuzhen shrugged his shoulders, and though he said so, his tone was one of nonchalance: “That crazy woman in the Great Chu Imperial City, whose heart is set on ascending to the heavens, besides Zhao Chunyang and the Carefree Child, how many others in the world can stop her?
Besides, sitting to the left side of the Imperial Family, we have the Qin Ancestor safeguarding the martial fortune.
Either of these two coming personally to the South Border would mean the Paperman Sect couldn’t last till next year.
With such forces arrayed, how could I not be scared?”
“But on the other hand…”
Lu Yuzhen gazed toward the distant Great Yue Kingdom, smiling: “What’s to fear from someone whose heart is only set on ascension?”
Emperor Qi had locked down the Great Yue Kingdom for the sake of ascension,
Dragging nine million souls into the abyss.
The Holy Empress now resides in the Imperial City, but her entire focus is on the final step of ascending.
Such a person, why would they personally come to the South Border?
“You must have prepared a contingency plan, right?”
Xie Xuanyi said piercingly, speaking slowly: “I have yet to see the three examiners responsible for the supervision ship; have you hidden them in the White Paper Cave Heaven?
Do you intend to use these three Yin Gods to negotiate with the Dachu Royal Family?”
“Tsk.”
Lu Yuzhen once again issued a sound of realization: “You’re sharp, boy.
I thought you’d leave for a while before you realized this.”
Xie Xuanyi calmly said: “Since parting ways in Qing State, I’ve been on guard against you.
I’ve always been watching you.”
“Very good…”
The Sect Master chuckled lightly: “But do you think, just three Yin God Realm chief examiners can change the Dachu Royal Family’s stance on cleansing demons from the South Border?”
Clearly, it was not possible.
Xie Xuanyi furrowed his brows.
He genuinely couldn’t fathom what Lu Yuzhen was planning or if there were other reasons for his actions.
“No need to hurry if you can’t figure it out.”
Lu Yuzhen said indifferently: “The great tide of the world has arrived, and many waves will eventually converge…
When that time comes, the hidden threads will all be revealed.
Confusion and doubts will clear up as the water recedes and the stones emerge, everything clear at a glance.”
As expected.
Lu Yuzhen was still that same Lu Yuzhen, whose words were always enigmatic.
Snow whirled on the mountaintop.
Lord Lu took a slight step back.
He smiled and said: “Since you are not inclined to have me accompany you, I will not insist.
After returning to the Great Chu Imperial City, be especially wary of the Taoist sect.”
“The Taoist sect?”
Xie Xuanyi narrowed his eyes, his thoughts first turning to Chong Kan.
The death of Fang Hang was sure to alert the Tai Shang House.
But what truly made Xie Xuanyi feel threatened…
was rather the “Red Dragon Fortune” on Xie Sheng’s person.
“You’re a good boy who listens well, Zhao Chunyang wants you to cultivate at a slow pace, so you do.”
With a hint of jest, Lu Yuzhen spoke: “If you intend to cultivate the Divine Embryo slowly and practice the Life and Death Dao, you’ll have to stay in the Cave Heaven Realm a little longer…
Once the fortune reverses in the North Sea, the world’s heroes will emerge in droves, make no mistake that there will be no rivals for you in the Cave Heaven Realm.”
“Heh.”
Had Lu Yuzhen said something else, Xie Xuanyi might have heeded it.
But not believing he had any rivals in this realm, that he truly dismissed.
Lu Yuzhen knew Xie Xuanyi very well, a glance and a snort was all it took to understand the thoughts of the young man in black.
He didn’t say much more.
Just responded with a mysterious and inscrutable smile.
“Believe it or not, it’s no big deal anyway.”
Lu Yuzhen laughed lightly, then grew serious: “Remember, no matter what, do not get involved in this cleansing of demons in the South Border…
I will not hesitate to unleash a massacre!”
Without waiting for Xie Xuanyi to respond.
Lu Yuzhen took a step back, plummeting down the mountain; his snow-white cloak instantly turning into pure paper, scattering in all directions.
His hearty laughter echoed over the Snow Mountain.
“Xie Xuanyi, I hope that the next time we meet, you will no longer be Xie Zhen, but truly Xie Xuanyi!”
