67: We face it alone.

Li Yu's smugness only lasted for a few seconds.

Then it came to a screeching halt.

Because Chen Xian wasn't surprised at all.

Instead, he nodded with incredible calmness.

"That's right!"

"Aren't you surprised how I know?"

Chen Xian let out a yawn.

"The dignified Seventh Princess of the Da Gan Dynasty has operated an intelligence network in Jubei City for years. If you didn't know this much, you'd have been in the business for nothing!"

Li Yu found these words somewhat flattering.

However, she quickly snapped back to reality.

"You want to take refuge with me so the Demon Lord won't dare to come here?"

"If that's what you think, then you are truly mistaken!"

Chen Xian stretched lazily.

He drained the tea in his cup in one gulp.

"I only came here to drink tea. Night is falling, farewell!"

After saying this, Chen Xian started walking out.

Although Zhao Hu and Yang Han didn't understand what was going on, they still followed Chen Xian and left.

Leaving behind a bewildered Li Yu.

Li Yu had just received news that a Demon Lord had snuck into the city, intent on capturing Chen Xian.

Although she didn't know what heinous things Chen Xian had done to make the Demon Cultivators mobilize such a large force to catch him.

But the moment Li Yu learned this news, she was indeed a bit excited.

She didn't care if Chen Xian was using her.

She only cared that this man was likely going to owe her a favor this time.

As a result, she thought Chen Xian would beg to stay here.

But who would have thought he would actually leave?

Li Yu couldn't help but chase after him.

"Chen Xian, if the Demon Lord catches you, you'll wish you were dead!"

Chen Xian didn't look back; instead, he just waved his hand.

He left the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.

Zhao Hu finally couldn't help but ask, "Young Master, why don't we stay here? Even if the Demon Lord has heaven-sized guts, he wouldn't dare oppose an Imperial Princess!"

Chen Xian sneered and said, "Do you think I don't want to? But do you think Li Yu is the type of person who is willing to be used? A favor is the hardest thing to repay. I use her to avoid disaster today, but what about tomorrow?"

"She would use this favor to hold over me for the rest of my life!"

Yang Han, who was beside him, asked curiously, "In that case, why did we spend the afternoon at her place?"

Chen Xian said mysteriously, "Naturally to drink tea, and also to keep away some flies!"

"Flies?"

They were full of questions.

But at that moment, they saw several people standing in the street ahead!

Chen Xian pointed with his finger!

"There, those are the flies I was talking about!"

The people in front of them were wearing black robes.

Each one wore a mask, covering themselves up completely.

After seeing Chen Xian.

They didn't even speak.

They charged straight at them.

Zhao Hu and Yang Han were no pushovers either.

Both sides immediately began to fight.

The two Golden Core Stage members of the Divine Strategy Army finished the battle in less than a minute.

Yang Han stepped on a fellow who was breathing more out than in.

"Speak! Who sent you?"

The person didn't speak; instead, blood leaked from his seven orifices.

Zhao Hu's Face darkened.

"Committed suicide by poison. It seems they are Death Warriors!"

"And at the Foundation Establishment Stage, no less. Not simple!"

At the mention of Death Warriors.

The expressions on both their Faces became grave.

After all, the fact that Death Warriors don't value their lives is secondary; the most important thing is that the master behind them is the truly troublesome one.

To have the money to support Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators shows that their background is substantial.

Chen Xian let out a yawn.

"No need to investigate. It's the Tianqi Sect!"

"Tianqi Sect?"

The two said in unison, their voices filled with confusion and surprise.

Chen Xian said calmly, "I snatched away Wang Li's Fiancée, even if it was just as a shield. But as the Young Master of Tianqi Sect, his Face has been lost."

"Do you think that since he doesn't dare reclaim his Face from the Princess, who will he try to reclaim it from?"

The two looked at each other.

"Also, the night before last at Marquis Jubeis Residence, those four Demon Cultivators weren't actually Demon Cultivators; they were Tianqi Sect Elders secretly brought in by Wang Li! They're all dead, so who will Wang Li blame?"

"He can't exactly say it was his own incompetence that led to the loss of four Golden Core Stage Elders, can he?"

With every sentence Chen Xian spoke.

The expressions of the two became more solemn.

Finally, Zhao Hu couldn't help but say, "Young Master, does that mean there's no room for maneuver between us and Wang Li?"

Chen Xian said indifferently, "It was a fight to the death from the very beginning!"

Offending the number one Sect of the North Continent's Da Gan Dynasty.

This made even the two, who were from the Divine Strategy Army and feared nothing, feel somewhat apprehensive!

The Young Master has made a bit too many enemies!

"So Wang Li doesn't dare come openly now, fearing General Chen would hold him accountable, and only dares to use some Death Warriors?"

Chen Xian nodded.

"But these are just small fry! Tonight, our main target is the Demon Lord!"

Speaking of the Demon Lord.

Even though the two were full of fighting spirit, they were also extremely worried.

"Young Master, are we really going to Face the Demon Lord?"

"Shouldn't we ask the General to come?"

Since the Princess couldn't be relied upon.

Then only Chen Buyu leading the Divine Strategy Army could come.

"Capturing a Demon Lord would also be a great achievement!"

To their surprise, Chen Xian shook his head.

"No, we have to deal with this Demon Lord ourselves!"

Although Zhao Hu and Yang Han were puzzled, they didn't dare disobey orders.

They returned to the Jubei Marquiss Residence with Chen Xian.

In the manor's back garden.

Ten people stood before Chen Xian.

Chen Xian's expression was serious.

"Everyone, the person we are facing this time is a Demon Lord. If any of you think this is a pointless sacrifice or don't want to die, you can leave right now!"

The ten people looked at each other.

In the end, no one took a step out. Although they hadn't been with Chen Xian for long, they knew that this man, who everyone saw as an ignorant second generation ancestor...

...was definitely not incompetent.

If he could stand here so calmly and say that, he must have a plan.

Night Fiend stepped forward.

He said seriously, "Young Master, just tell us, what exactly should we do tonight?"

"It's simple: survive. Either be killed by him, or kill him!"

"You all..."

"Kill him, of course!"

Chen Xian then took out the luminous pearl.

"I know that ten Golden Cores facing one Nascent Soul is nothing short of a pipe dream, but it's not impossible!"

"I am the Moon Demon Vessel. If the Scholar comes, he will definitely call out the Moon Demon to take Possession of my body. And this luminous pearl is the treasure to restrain the Moon Demon!"

When Chen Xian said this.

Several of them understood almost immediately.

"Young Master, do you want to use the Moon Demon's power to defeat the Scholar?"

"This is too dangerous!"

"If anything goes wrong, I'm afraid we'll all be wiped out."

Chen Xian sneered and said, "Haven't you heard the saying?"

"The bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish!"

"Our risk and reward are proportional!"

"But, Young Master, why would the Scholar allow you to win the bid for the luminous pearl?"
