131: You want to be slutty but you haven't

“Alright, three people to a group for night watch in turns, the rest of you get some good rest. This is a Qi Concealment Formation, it can hide our Qi, making it difficult for Yao Beasts in the Mystic Path Realm to discover us.” Luo Yu finished speaking and closed his eyes to rest.

After a day of continuous mental strain, everyone was a bit tired. Except for the three on guard, everyone else casually sat on the ground and began to meditate.

The night deepened, and the roars of various Yao Beasts occasionally echoed from the distant mountains. Xu Sanyan glanced sideways at Xiang Tan, a slight smirk playing on his lips.

“Coo coo…”

The call of something unknown sounded in the surrounding darkness. Luo Yu turned his head to look into the depths of the darkness and slowly spoke, “Senior Brother Zhou has followed us all this way, why not show yourself?”

Xiang Tan’s heart trembled, and she suddenly exploded, pouncing into the darkness.

Listening to Luo Yu’s words, he had apparently known that Zhou Longsheng and his group were following them all along, which meant she herself must have been exposed.

What she couldn’t figure out was how she was exposed.

She believed she had done it flawlessly.

Luo Yu paid her no mind; a mere Foundation Establishment initial stage cultivator was not worthy of his serious attention.

A group of people walked out of the shadows in the dark night, led by Zhou Longsheng in a gray robe.

“Junior Brother Luo, long time no see.”

Luo Yu stretched his mouth into a smile, “Not long. We saw each other this morning.”

“Since you knew I was coming, you still dared to wait here. It seems Junior Brother Luo was well-prepared.” Zhou Longsheng probed as he spoke, his gaze sweeping around, but he dared not move forward.

Xu Sanyan and the others also stood up, looking at the opposing party warily.

Luo Yu turned to Chi Yu and said, “Junior Brother Chi, put away the Formation.”

“Understood.” Chi Yu waved his hand, and the Formation Plate retracted into his grasp.

“How did you find me?” Zhou Longsheng was very curious.

“Heh heh, since you can place people by my side, why can’t I place people by yours?” Luo Yu smiled mysteriously, exerting psychological pressure on Zhou Longsheng.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Zhou Longsheng, regardless of whether he believed it or not, subconsciously raised his guard against the people behind him.

Xiang Tan hid beside Zhou Longsheng, her gaze suspiciously fixed on Xu Sanyan. She always felt that this guy was the one who leaked the secret.

But she couldn’t understand why Xu Sanyan would do such a thing.

From every angle, Zhou Longsheng was a better choice than Luo Yu. Following Zhou Longsheng undoubtedly offered greater hope.

But what she didn’t know was that Xu Sanyan didn’t plan to follow anyone; he wanted to contend for the Saint position himself!

Zhou Longsheng’s eyes flickered, and he slowly spoke, “Junior Brother Luo, you are not my opponent, why bother with a trapped beast’s struggle? Why don’t you and I join forces? As long as you help me become the Saint, you will surely have a place among my supporters, and in the future, I can help you ascend to the position of Elder in the Affairs Hall.”

“Hahahahaha…”

Luo Yu’s laughter was full of mockery. He pointed a finger at Zhou Longsheng and said, “You, you’re still so fanciful. Why don’t you and I switch? How about you help me ascend to the Saint position?”

Luo Yu was full of disdain. If he let Zhou Longsheng become the Saint, would he still have a way to live?

“It seems there’s nothing to discuss?” Zhou Longsheng’s eyes gradually grew cold.

“Hmph, there was never anything to discuss between us!”

The two had long-standing grievances, and today they would finally settle who was superior.

Xu Sanyan stood aside, watching the show. He had naturally leaked the information to Luo Yu. He couldn’t let Luo Yu be ambushed and killed unprepared. At the very least, he needed to cause some trouble for Zhou Longsheng so he could more easily reap the benefits.

As long as Luo Yu and Zhou Longsheng died, then he would be the highest cultivated Disciple in the Chixin Lineage, and everyone would only be able to support him in seizing the Saint position.

“Attack!”

Zhou Longsheng let out a low roar, and a faint gray smoke emanated from his palm as he fiercely struck at Luo Yu.

Zhou Longsheng was confident that Luo Yu was no match for him. The two had fought before, and he had won every time. It was only due to sect rules that he couldn’t kill Luo Yu, but this time was different.

This time, he could kill!

At Zhou Longsheng’s command, both sides immediately engaged in battle.

The number of people on both sides was nearly equal; Zhou Longsheng’s side had a few more people, but it didn’t affect the overall situation. For a time, both sides fought evenly matched.

Xu Sanyan aimed at Xiang Tan and charged straight over.

Xiang Tan’s heart tightened. She knew that Xu Sanyan was at the Foundation Establishment middle stage, superior to her in Realm, so she didn’t linger in battle, dodging left and right to avoid direct confrontation with him.

“Junior Brother Xu, you and I have no grievances, why are you chasing me relentlessly? Could it be that I didn’t make you comfortable last night?” Xiang Tan ducked and dodged Xu Sanyan’s fist.

Xu Sanyan grinned. He just wanted to find someone weaker to entangle with for a while, to conserve his strength and only reveal it when the time was right.

If he were to get serious, Xiang Tan would probably perish within ten moves.

“Little darling, Junior Brother will be gentle, don’t hide.” Xu Sanyan’s tone was lewd, truly like a lecher.

Xiang Tan pursed her lips, “Junior Brother, let me go, and after this matter is settled, how about you and I entwine all night?”

“Hahaha…” Xu Sanyan shook his head and chuckled, “After this matter is settled, whether you can survive is a question, so how can you entwine with me all night?”

The two exchanged verbal jabs while chasing each other. Slowly, Xiang Tan also realized that although Xu Sanyan claimed he wouldn’t let her go, every move he made intentionally held back.

His punches looked fierce, but they landed lightly on her body, without any power. Xiang Tan immediately understood and began to play along with him.

In truth, most people on both sides knew that the main battlefield was between Zhou Longsheng and Luo Yu. Regardless of who won or lost, they wouldn’t be completely annihilated; it was more likely they would be absorbed to strengthen the winning side.

Because everyone was a Disciple of the Chixin Lineage, even if they didn’t know each other personally, they had all met before, making them more trustworthy to use.

So most people were just putting on a show, with only a few loyalists fighting with all their might, such as Chi Yu.

If Luo Yu were to lose, Zhou Longsheng would absolutely not spare Chi Yu, because the entanglement between Chi Yu and Luo Yu was too deep; he had to be eliminated.

Currently, the field was divided into dozens of battlefields, large and small, mostly one-on-one skirmishes. Everyone’s attention was focused on the battle between Zhou Longsheng and Luo Yu.

Xu Sanyan pressed a palm against Xiang Tan’s chest, curling his fingers and pinching hard.

Xiang Tan might have been hurt by the grab. She scrunched her eyebrows and grumbled softly, “Gentler, wasn’t yesterday enough?”

Xu Sanyan held her arms with his own, a smile playing on his lips, “Senior Sister is so sexy, Junior Brother could touch you for a lifetime and it wouldn’t be enough.”

“You rascal, always so glib.” Xiang Tan rolled her eyes at him.

Rather than fighting, the two were flirting. A tall, thin young man on the side couldn’t stand it anymore and cursed under his breath, “Little hussy.”

Xu Sanyan turned his head to look. It was one of the two good friends from before, currently entangled with someone else. Both were also putting in minimal effort; after all, they didn’t have a life-or-death feud, so why fight desperately?

Xiang Tan was not one to back down verbally. She proudly pushed out her chest and said, “You wish you were as hussy as me.”

“Hmph!” The tall, thin young man was a bit angry and turned his head away, ignoring her.

While they were fooling around here, a life-and-death struggle was unfolding on the other side.
