115: Is tonight my death night?
He not only stabilized his Soul, but also gained new insights.
Especially, he gained a new understanding of Chen Xian.
Before, he thought Chen Xian had incredibly good Luck.
But after a month in the Sword Tomb,
he witnessed someone having incredibly good Luck for a whole month straight.
If he didn't possess the ability of foresight,
then Chen Xian must be a Child of Luck, possessing great Luck.
And regardless of which it was, staying by his side would only benefit him.
It was precisely because of this
that the Moon Demon cared so much about Chen Xian.
After all, he was afraid this kid would die now.
That would be quite a pity.
"Tsk tsk tsk. It's really not easy to hear you speak the truth!"
The Moon Demon was about to continue speaking.
However, he heard a clang.
The entire dragon boat shook violently.
Chen Xian's face revealed a cold smile.
"It seems they've arrived!"
At the door of the room.
Zhao Hu stood silently to the side, whispering, "Young Lord, enemies are attacking from outside. Their identities are unknown, and the dragon boat guards are already engaged in battle with them!"
Chen Xian's expression was cold.
"Don't bother with them! Now, go do something more important!"
"Young Lord's command!"
"Later, when the enemies deal with those Scions of aristocratic families, you all observe closely. When the people behind them step in to protect them, you..."
"Take advantage of the chaos! I want all the treasures and storage rings on Sun Xiu and the others!"
Zhao Hu was startled upon hearing this.
Why did it feel like the Young Lord had become even more sinister after his trip to the Sword Tomb?
He felt even more sinister!
Although he grumbled inwardly, he didn't dare to delay.
He quickly left.
"It's extremely lively outside, aren't you going to take a look?"
The Moon Demon asked.
Chen Xian shook his head.
"There are quite a few strong cultivators on this dragon boat. Why should I go join the fun!"
"Staying hidden here is the kingly way!"
With that, he sat cross-legged on the bed.
He instantly entered a meditative state.
His speed was so fast that anyone who saw it would be dumbfounded.
Zhou Duoer and the Moon Demon, however, were accustomed to it.
After the Sword Tomb, where Sword Qi ran rampant,
Chen Xian could move as if no one was there.
Let alone in this stable environment without Sword Qi.
At the same time.
Outside, it had already turned into a chaotic mess.
demonic cultivators and experts from the Five Poisons Sect frantically attacked the Loose Cultivators on the dragon boat.
Although the dragon boat guards resisted desperately, they were ultimately caught off guard.
More than half of them were killed or injured.
On the thirty-third floor.
Sun Xiu and the others watched the sea of fire outside with expressionless faces.
"It's really lively."
"Aren't we going out?"
Sun Xiu revealed a disdainful smile.
"Our only objective this time is Chen Xian!"
"What do the lives of others have to do with us?"
"Furthermore..."
He looked at the Loose Cultivators fleeing in all directions, being killed outside.
He said mockingly, "They are the weak; they deserve to be killed!"
"Dying here is no different from dying in Shanhai."
"However..."
Sun Xiu paused, then said coldly, "If the Marquis of Jubei were to die tonight amidst the chaotic soldiers, it would seem plausible!"
His words made the other six people freeze.
"Sun Xiu, our orders are only to keep an eye on Chen Xian and not let him escape, not to attack him!"
"Didn't Your Majesty also intend to kill him anyway!"
Sun Xiu said with a cold laugh, "Moreover, he died at the hands of those demonic cultivators outside. What does that have to do with us?"
"Think about it, the humiliation he subjected us to during the day. Are you really content with that?"
At his words,
the other six naturally recalled Chen Xian's arrogant demeanor towards them during the day.
Especially his threat to report them to Your Majesty.
It was like a huge accusation placed upon all of them.
Tian Wuqi's expression was distorted.
"It's better if he dies. Our seven families can then legitimately take over Jubei City's resources and secrets."
If Chen Xian died in the Shanhai Secret Realm, Jubei City would likely be controlled by the imperial family.
But if Chen Xian died on the dragon boat, they could immediately return to Jubei City.
The Descendants of the Seven Kings could then divide Jubei City equally.
The city's resources, geographical location, and secrets.
These were all things they had dreamed of knowing.
Seeing the others still hesitating, Sun Xiu said with a half-smile, "Do you still want to be secondary sons your entire lives, or be stepping stones for the Young Masters your entire lives?"
"They can sit in this Young Master's position, and so can you!"
As soon as these words were spoken,
almost everyone's breathing became heavy.
As long as Chen Xian died,
they would have a chance to contend for the position of Young Master.
Especially since the seven of them would become ants on the same rope.
At that time, they would advance and retreat together.
Their future would be bright.
"Let's do it!"
An Rushan was the first to speak.
"I'll do it too!"
"Me too!"
"I only have one concern, can we kill that man?"
Sun Xiu said with a cold laugh, "You're overthinking it!"
"There are indeed strong cultivators following Chen Xian. But the people around us are not to be trifled with either."
"King against king, general against general!"
"Seven people, even if it's just one move each, he'll die!"
The seven of them looked at each other.
Then they all revealed sinister smiles.
In an instant, they vanished from their original spots... On the deck.
The dragon boat guards were still desperately resisting the demonic cultivators outside.
Liu Ruyan, as the court commander participating in the Shanhai Secret Realm,
was also holding a saber and fighting desperately at the front.
There was no fear in her heart.
She only thought that Chen Xian's room was behind her.
She had to protect this man and prevent him from suffering any harm before entering the Shanhai Secret Realm.
This was also Liu Ruyan's self-proclaimed best way to secretly protect Chen Xian.
In the dark night.
The dragon boat was brightly lit by the flames.
Seven dark figures also flashed through the darkness.
Heading straight for Chen Xian's room on the thirtieth floor!
"Someone is breaking in!"
When Zhao Hu and the others saw these seven people,
they immediately prepared to act.
But the next second,
several people blocked Zhao Hu and the others.
Boom!
The moment the two sides clashed!
The seven people had already rushed into the room.
"Oh no, they're after the Young Lord!"
Zhao Hu and the others shouted excitedly.
They wanted to go in, but they were firmly blocked by these powerful cultivators.
As for Sun Xiu and the others, upon entering the room,
they immediately set up a Formation!
"Now we can catch them like turtles in a jar."
"He won't be able to escape."
Meanwhile, in the room.
Chen Xian looked at the seven masked figures in front of him.
He immediately let out a cold laugh.
"Since you seven are here, there's no need to wear masks anymore!"
"Sun Xiu..."
Chen Xian's words made Sun Xiu and the others pause in surprise.
They didn't expect to be seen through by Chen Xian the moment they arrived.
However, Sun Xiu didn't intend to continue hiding.
Instead, he took off his mask.
"Heh heh, take them all off. Anyway, he's a dead man. Why should we hide from him!"
"Chen Xian, tonight will be your death day!"
Chen Xian sneered.
"Tonight is my death day? Why didn't I know that?"
