Chapter 398: 219. What’s even more terrifying than Tian Liuli facing Mo Xianxian is…
“But, but me too…”
Tao Yaoyao timidly raised her hand, her eyes watery like peach blossoms, turning round and round, while her fuzzy beast ears blushed slightly.
“Heh.”
Tian Liuli let out a cold laugh, “A bunch of defeated followers, gathering together, thinking you can threaten me now? Have you forgotten how I suppressed you before?”
“The past is the past.”
Liu Ruoxue slowly raised her head, her beautiful and peerless sword-like eyes shining with a sharp cold light, leaving crisscrossing sword marks on the ground. As she lifted her head, the ancient sword in her arms could not help but emit a clear and loud sword cry, as if filled with immense anticipation.
The aura emanating from her body had clearly reached the Nascent Soul Realm.
“Now is now.”
Jing Lixue stood up, her aura suddenly surged.
In an instant, she leaped from being an obscure mortal to the Nascent Soul Realm.
She reached the Nascent Soul too?
Xu Yuan was shocked.
Actually, the fact that Liu Ruoxue had reached the Nascent Soul so quickly was already surprising to him, but Jing Lixue too, and so quickly?
Could it be that she had changed her life pattern again?
Perhaps it’s true that great adversity brings great blessings?
And indeed, his guess was not wrong.
According to Jing Lixue’s own plans, she should not have rewritten her life pattern so quickly.
A life pattern of surviving great disasters, like accumulating little by little, once enough hardships are endured, can lead to astonishing effects just like a hidden dragon in the abyss soaring into the sky.
Unfortunately, plans can’t keep up with changes.
Her plan was to wait until the accumulated hardships allowed her to break through to the Primordial Spirit Realm before rewriting, but now it clearly wasn’t suitable.
In an era of great contention, she couldn’t just wait for everyone else to finish fighting before she came out, could she?
By then, the moment would have passed, the cold dishes gotten cold, and the small white pigs taken by others.
Counting Lin Qingque, there were now three Nascent Souls, and not just ordinary ones.
Leaving Liu Ruoxue out of the discussion, two of them had the capacity to compete with True People of the Primordial Spirit Realm.
“So that’s it, no wonder you dare to come back and find me,” Tian Liuli scoffed, her jade hand under the table slowly clenched.
She exhaled a breath of turbid air.
But thankfully, even if there were two True People of the Primordial Spirit, it wasn’t a big problem for her.
“Um…sorry, did you forget about me?”@@novelbin@@
Tao Yaoyao tremulously raised her hand, blinking her watery eyes, her tail gently swaying.
At the same time, an aura of the Nascent Soul Realm emanated from her body, and it was even the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul, bordering on the terrifying aura of the True People of the Primordial Spirit.
Everyone was startled.
Xu Yuan, however, was not surprised.
If among those present, anyone had the biggest golden finger and potential, it was undoubtedly Tao Yaoyao.
After all, a simulator combined with her identity as a member of the Nine Tails Heavenly Fox clan, could have already brought her to the Primordial Spirit Realm, if not for the fact that she had been playing it like a child-bearing simulator.
And after so many events, Tao Yaoyao had clearly grown up a lot.
Tian Liuli’s cold eyes intensely rippled.
It must be said, her measures had indeed been a huge stimulus for the four of them, suddenly enabling them to grow to a stage where they could contend with her.
But merely these four people wanting her to give in,
She could only say that it was but a delusional fantasy.
“Hold on, listen to me!”
Seeing that the air was getting thicker with gunpowder and they were on the verge of starting a fight, Xu Yuan had to step forward, diverting their attention to him, although he knew that stepping forward now was like attracting fire to himself.
But he had no choice.
Otherwise, if they really started fighting, what then?
“Let’s talk, shall we discuss this?”
Xu Yuan tried to lighten the atmosphere in the room.
“Discuss?”
Seeing him speak, Jing Lixue couldn’t help but smile at him, “Brother Xu Yuan, what sort of discussion do you have in mind?”
For some reason, Xu Yuan always felt like she was mocking him.
“This… for instance, one person for one day?”
As the words slipped from his mouth, Xu Yuan sharply felt the five gazes simultaneously settle on him, their coldness self-evident.
From within the City Lord’s Mansion, a covert look shot out, turning much sharper imperceptibly.
“If you think the number of days is not acceptable, one person per week could also work?”
Xu Yuan pressed on, while frantically thinking of a way out.
The current situation was no longer like before when he could suppress everyone alone, nor was it like when Tian Liuli dominated the scene alone.
He had to placate and stabilize everyone at the same time.
“I can accept Elder Brother’s suggestion, provided that… everyone else can accept it too.”
Lin Qingque spoke with a smile.
For a proposal that others were bound to reject, she was willing to go with the flow.
“I do not agree.”
Liu Ruoxue spoke without a hint of negotiation in her voice.
Tian Liuli’s expression darkened as she suddenly stood up, “Mr. Xu, you’d better just be speaking off the cuff, otherwise, I would feel that everything you did before was deceiving me.”
Even when the women previously cornered her by revealing their cultivation levels, she had not lost her composure like this.
Jing Lixue did not speak, but the mocking expression she had before he even spoke, which seemed to have anticipated his thoughts, said it all.
Tao Yaoyao lowered her head, whispering softly, “I… I am unwilling.”
Xu Yuan sighed deeply in his heart; the scene before him was undoubtedly more dreadful than what he had imagined before he arrived, even more so than a confrontation between Tian Liuli and Mo Xianxian.
Forget it, I’m tired, let it be destroyed.
He suddenly felt the urge to give up and simply let them fight it out; whoever won would then be the one he’d follow, which would also spare him the daily quarrels.
“What are all of you doing gathered here?”
A heavenly voice like a divine chisel breaking the chaos cleared the heavily tensed atmosphere in an instant.
Xu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart; whoever had arrived, as long as they could share his burden, it was fine.
In the City Lord’s Mansion, Mo Xianxian’s smiling face turned somber, and she clicked her tongue, “Courting death?”
Another one?
Compared to their two-person reaction, others undoubtedly reacted more intensely.
Liu Ruoxue’s ancient sword leaped half an inch from its sheath, filling the air with bright sword light and chilling the surroundings.
Tian Liuli delicately raised her hand, reflecting thousands of dazzling lights in the sunlight through the Liuli’s sheen.
Jing Lixue still stood with her hands behind her back, her long hair gently fluttering, as countless pure white pear blossoms sprouted around her feet.
Tao Yaoyao clenched her little hands, her nine fox tails standing straight behind her, feigning a fierce expression.
Lin Qingque sat calmly in a wooden chair, lifting a porcelain cup with her bare hand, surrounded by an invisible and colorless immense force, eager to strike.
Did I… come at a bad time?
An Yulan’s mouth twitched slightly, and she cautiously shifted toward a corner.
She had merely received a message from her sect and wanted to interact with Xu Yuan, but upon her arrival, she encountered such a combustible scene?
Upon arriving, she felt like a rabbit being stared at by five fierce beasts simultaneously, small, pitiful, and helpless.
“Um… Mr. Xu, what are you…?”
She blinked her eyes, looking at Xu Yuan as if seeking help.
“Oh, it’s nothing, just a little dispute.”
For the first time, Xu Yuan felt immensely grateful to An Yulan.
Her timing was just too coincidental.
“Saintess An, did you come to find me for something? Surely something hasn’t happened in the… Holy Sect, has it?”
Xu Yuan hurriedly spoke, appearing casual while hinting at their platonic relationship.
While talking, Xu Yuan also stealthily gave her a meaningful glance.
Although he didn’t know why this girl, who had only met him once, would come here at this time, he currently was not keen to dig deeper and only wanted to use her to escape this fraught situation.
“No.”
An Yulan, as if failing to catch his hint, shook her head on her own accord.
“Then Miss An, what is it for?”
Xu Yuan’s mouth twitched slightly as he spoke.
But the next moment, the words that came out of her mouth stunned him.
“Let me introduce myself. My name is An Yulan, and I am also… the newly appointed Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Dao Sect.”
